Five EKUEHR A MESSAGE FROM MR, AMMERMAN Thoreau tells us we should spend more time in building air-castles in Spain and more time in putting foundations under those air-castles . How different this is from the spirit of the times! We think we must do so many things. The day is so full. We do not give ourselves the chance to dream and plan. We accomplish so little. Thoreau is right. We need to build more air-castles in Spain . CHARLES AMMERMAN Six 935 935 BWZINH MR. CHARLES AMMERMAN Principal S even BWEHH A MESSAGE FROM MR. SACKETT The year I935 is significant to high school boys and girls because it marks the three hundredth anniversary of the founding of the first secondary school of America. I want to give you a little sketch of the history of our American public high school. By secondary education we mean, in general, education in high schools. Where there are junior high schools, the seventh and eighth grades are usually included in this classificationg junior colleges, where only two years of college work are taught, are also included. The first secondary school in America was the Boston Latin School. It still exists as one of the public high schools of Boston, and its principal, or head master as he is called, is Mr. L. Powers. On April 23, I635, only five years after the settlement of Boston and one year before the founding of Harvard College, the citizens voted that our brother Philemon Pormont shall be intreated to become schoolmaster for the teaching and nurturing of children with us. It was a school for boys onlyg girls had not yet had the opportunity of showing that they have equal mentality. It was a free school supported by donations of the citizens. When the colonists settled in America, they naturally tended to found schools similar to those of the home country. ln England at this time the prevailing secondary school was the Latin grammar school. This taught chiefly Latin and Greek, and its only purpose was to prepare for college. Pupils entered at an early age-when they were eight or nine-and they were ready for college when they were fourteen! But college in those early days con- sisted of only more Latin and Greek: the college graduate did not have as good an education as the graduate of a modern high school. So, in schools like the Boston Latin School, pupils entered early, and early in more than one sense, for school began at seven or eight in the morning. There was a two-hour intermission at noon, and then pupils returned for the afternoon session which lasted until nearly dark! Girls, however, were not entirely neglected. A few were taught before or after schoolg and they were taught also on Thursday afternoons, when boys had a half-holiday. Later they were educated in boarding schools called female seminaries. But the Latin grammar schools did not fit the pioneer conditions of America. ln 1749 Benjamin Franklin published a proposal that a new type of school be established that would put more emphasis on practical education rather than on entrance to college. The number of college students in those Eight 93 9 BVJEINH MR. C. HAROLD SACKETT Assistant Principal Nine BWEHH days formed a much smaller percentage than today. Such a school, called the Philadelphia Public Academy, was opened in Philadelphia in 1851. The movement spread, and a hundred years later it was estimated that there were six thousand of these academies. At first there were separate academies for boys and girls, but in l784 one was opened for both girls and boys. This was the beginning of coeducation-the education of boys and girls in the same school. But as the Latin grammar schools were replaced by the academies, most of the latter were to die and to be replaced by high schools, and the academies gradually became merely schools to prepare for college. The first high school opened in Boston in l82l, and still exists. It was first called the English Classical School, but three years later the name was changed to English l-ligh School. It was a school for boys. ln 1824, Wor- cester, Massachusetts, opened a high school for girlsg New York and Boston followed with similar institutions- in ISZ6. The Boston school, however, was so popular that two years later it had to close: so many parents demanded admission of their daughters that the city could not stand the extra expendi- ture. ln this same year, l826, the first coeducational high school was opened at Bridgeport, Connecticut. And now, after three hundred years all of the Latin grammar schools and most of the academies have disappeared, but there are about twenty-five thousand public high schools! C. H.

Those marvelous discoveries which are the results of courage, of faith, and of fierce energy have done much for humanity. But it is the baffling mysteries, those eternal, madden- ing question marks, that are the salvation of the human race. Our generation should be thankful that there still remains so much to be solved, for, if the world ever erases the last challenging question mark, it will probably die of boredom. It is natural for us to desire that which is out of reach. It is true that we are forever seeking the mysterious things that elude us. But, after all, which is more marvelous-the possession of the object which beckoned us, or the thrill of the chase? Too often we learn that the moon which glowed as an enchanted fairyland of radiant of light is only a cold, dark body covered with extinct volcanoes. If a scientist were able to reach Mars, he might be painfully disappointed by the planet itself, but would he ever forget the thrill of his mad whirl through the stratosphere? Why have explorers chosen such lives of danger? What will be their reward? Certainly not the gratitude of a nonchalant world which in a few years will look upon their achievement as a matter of course! Explorers exist simply because of those same accursed-yet, oh, how blessed-question marks, those beckoning, challenging mysteries that have driven men insane, that have claimed human lives, and that are still so wonderful because they have kept the world from becoming stale. No one has ever been given a chance to live until he has been challenged, no one has ever truly lived until he has accepted. Let us not become so satisfied with the achievements of others that we overlook the defiance in the unconquered worlds about us. It is easy to loll in satisfaction, but it is not thrilling. How stupid to say that there is nothing left to be discovered when a million moons are glaring their challenges! It is to these beckoning, mocking moons, these symbols of untamed perils, these lands of fascinating mystery, that the youth of today owes its chance for an adventurous and active life, spurred on by the insistence of determination. And it is to these eternal, maddening question marks that the 1935 BWANA is dedicated. A A AUDREY THYSON Iga K - Seuenteerz BWHNE THE ROOSEVELT SPIRIT To Theodore Roosevelt, Hunconquered worlds held an appeal which engaged his noblest efforts. His indomitable will, his aggressive spirit, and his thirst for the new, the unknown, kept him ever entering upon the uncharted course. New worlds to conquer are ours. True, much has been accomplished in many new fields of activity in recent years. But there remain just as many fields to be opened for exploration as have already been conquered. A few years ago, the possibility of a conversation between a person in New York and one in London seemed fantastic. This feat has now been accomplisheclg and before long, through the use of television, we shall be able to see the person to whom we are talking. Medical science, too, has progressed to a point undreamed of. Forty years ago Darius Green and His Flying Machine caused mirth wherever mentioned. Today, men like Lindbergh and Post have flown over the ocean and around the world. Regular airplane passenger service is maintained between distant points. But there are many battles yet unfought and frontiers yet unsubdued. We are just beginning to learn the secrets which the stratosphere holds. We may certainly expect that there will be as great progress in the fields of transportation, science, and wireless communication in the coming years as there has been in the past. Q We at Roosevelt would do well to strive for that desire to do, that desire to explore the new, that desire to achieve which was so firmly possessed and so eloquently expressed by him whose name our school bears. We may, by reflection upon the events of that life so full and eventful, gain for ourselves a spark of the Roosevelt spirit. NORTHCUTT COIL Q ' U 'I' Ol JN: A 1 E rghteen 935 935 BWENH UN CON OUERED WORLDS INCE time immemorial, there have always been worlds to conquer.. ln the beginning there was so very little known of our surroundings magical that the thought of conquering the realms of the land, the sea,--yes, even the sky, must have been bewildering. Then, gradually, the world, like a moth, came out of its cocoon to try its wings. Think of the courage and stamina of those first pioneers in the fields of exploration on land and sea. It is difficult to realize the fears of Columbus upon starting on his unforgettable voyage, the anticipation of hardships by the Pilgrim fathers and other founders of our country, and the anxiety of pioneers such as Daniel Boone. After our country had been explored and settled, did not our people go on conquering worlds in the sense of trying to solve problems of government? Let us not forget Raoul Amundsen and Commodore Peary, brave adventurers, who explored the north pole. To cite a still more recent example, what of Colonel Lindbergh? Was he not helping to conquer the realms of the sky when he succeeded in crossing the Atlantic Ocean by aeroplane in 1927? Rear-Admiral Byrd has certainly added to our knowledge of the world in which we live by his marvelous work in Little America. Surely we can take these examples of courage and bravery as models in our daily life. When it seems to us that everything has been fathomed, we must realize that our knowledge, in comparison to the mysteries which still lie before us, is comparatively small. Most of us today have neither the ability nor the inclination to go down in history as great navigators or as explorers of a new land. However, each of us must attempt to conquer his own world in his own small way. We must set a goal and allow no obstacle to intervene until that goal is reached. Let us conquer our own world. DOLORES PITTS inf' 44' ' , ,. 'fi Nineteen Feature Section AN EXPLORER OF THE DEEP K E HEAR much about the daring of those who explore the far North, the adventures of those who seek the far South, of those who Hy over tropical jungles or unexplored countries, but until Dr. Beebe devised the globe that enables him to go down to the depths of the sea, we knew very little of the beauties and mysteries of the deep. Charles William Beebe, who was born on July 20, l877, is an author as well as a diver. He writes in a most entertaining style, with a human, moving, and whimsical manner, interspersed with occasional side trips into fancy and philosophy. We, however, are interested in him as a deep sea diver, the one man who knows more of deep sea life from personal observation than anyone else. He has made several descents to a quarter of a mile, and one to 2,5l0 feet. From the bathysphere in which he descends, he has taken pictures and gathered information heretofore impossible to get. ln i929 Mr. Otis Barton and Dr. Beebe conceived the idea of descending into the ocean in a large steel sphere with heavy quartz windows. This sphere was to be strong enough to permit them to enter, be sealed up, and to be kept alive at the bottom of the ocean. Mr. Barton did most of the work, but Dr. Beebe helped him with a few small suggestions. Most of all, however, Bebe aided him with his indominable spirit and his unshaken belief in the success of the venture. When the steel sphere finally took shape, they in turn called it a tank, a cylinder, and a ball. One day Beebe was writing the name of a deep sea fish-Bathytroctes-and he decided that the Creek prefix meaning deep was very appropriate. He coined the word Bathysphere, and so it remained. . The first time William Beebe descended into the ocean several miles off the coast of the Bermuda Island, he realized that he had added thousands upon thousands of wonderful miles to his possible joy of earthly life. When he crawled painfully into the sphere, his emotions were such that he was nearly tongue-tied. The only thing he could ask for was a pillow to make himself more comfortable. The inside of the sphere was four and one-half feet in diameter, and at first it seemed quite roomy, but Beebe said the longer he was in it, the smaller it felt. He was slowly and gently lowered over the side, and the last visible link he had of the world he was leaving was the hull of the ship. When he reached the depth of six hundred feet, he began to realize the great adventure he had undertaken. It is true that other human beings had been to that depth before, but he was the first man to look out at the strange illumination that his electric torch made when it cut through the dark blue. When he reached the depth of eight hundred feet, he called a halt. He felt that was deep enough for his first dive. He was on deck about an hour after he had started, feeling rather surprised that he had suffered no ill effects from his journey. When he climbed out of the sphere, Twenty 93 Twenty-one JUST BEFORE DR.

'cs -cs 3-u o U O L-1 0 .: E- xr BWEHE however, the lower half of his body was practically paralyzed, and his legs and feet were sound asleep. The most impressive thing about the descent was, to Beebe, the slow change of color from dark blue to blacker blue. After his first trip, Beebe began to wish for all sorts of new apparatus. The next trip he made was five days later, and he and Otis Barton had devised a number of improvements. There were shelves for books, writing materials, and sample colors, and the inside of the sphere was painted black so that there would be no reflections. A camera was placed in a tight brass box so that moving pictures could be taken, and sheets of zinc and pads of waterproof paper were taken to make needed notes. The most exciting places to dive are probably the reefs and shallows far from shore, like those of Bermuda. ln the Galapagos, jet black rocks, over which crawl crabs, cast jet black shadows, and red octopi creep out of the crevices. The Australian barrier reef is shrouded in mystery, and expeditions are just beginning to explore it. Alaskan ocean life, however, is certainly the most weird. Sharks, although not Arctic as a race, are frequently seen in Alaskan waters. To dive there, it was necessary for Beebe to encase himself in a heated wool-lined suit. The waters in the South Pacific are exactly the opposite of the Alaskan waters. There are the most luxuriant reefs and shal- lows. Many types of fish exist, and a thousand printings need never repeat species, form, pattern, or color in their composition. The thing that impressed Beebe most when he dived in the tropics was the brilliance of color. The fish are rainbow-tinted, and corals send up unearthly purple branches. Here one can climb into growth formed from boulders six to eight feet across. After Beebe had dived down one place in the tropics many times, he said that the individual fish could be recognized immediately and were claimed as friends. It is hard to picture what it is like a mile beneath the surface. lt is darker than anything or any place at all in the upper world-a darkness so intense that nothing can penetrate it. The temperature lies between the freezing point of fresh water and salt water. Some deep-sea fish are soft when brought to the surface, others have scales as hard as a surface fish. The fish have two alternatives to find their way in the dark. They may develop long tenacles, called feelers. ln this case, the eyes in time become reduced and are not visible at all. On the other hand, as they enter the lightless zone, Nature may come to the aid of some of the deep sea beings and provide illumination from their own bodies. On some fish there are searchlights on cheeks, fore- heads, and tails, which no doubt are of great importance in signalling and answering in the search for mates. Others have glows of fire on their sides which perhaps send messages of friendly recognition to scattered members of the school. The lantern-fish, instead of having half a dozen scales like those caught in the net, are ablaze with their full armor of iridescence. Beebe caught the Hash of their light organs for only an instant. At eleven hundred Twenty-two 93 93 BWEIHH feet, Beebe saw strange fish. As he watched them, from the sides of several of them flashed six or eight bright greenish lights, which had such a blinding effect on his eyes that the fish vanished completely, leaving not a trace of light behind them. To this day, Beebe has no idea what they were. At the surface of the ocean the fish are usually ultramarine blue on top and white underneath to match the colors of the open sea. Surface fish are seen to a depth of one hundred feet. A little deeper, most of the fish are rather transparent, and still deeper the fish are semi-transparent, silver, or pink. About five hundred fathoms downward is the scarlet and black zone. Most of the fish are black, and the majority of the worms and crustoceans are flame-red. As far down in the ocean as the sunlight penetrates, there are minute plants that furnish food to numberless fish, shrimp, and other sea creatures. Beginning half a mile down, however, is a world of non-vegetarians. The surface creatures form the food of the tenants of the twilight zone, and these in turn are devoured by the monsters of the black depths. Beebe noticed that ocean life was still abundant at twelve hundred feet. At twelve hundred fifty feet several of the silver hatchets passed, going upward. Suddenly Beebe saw not one form of ocean life, and between twelve hundred fifty and thirteen hundred feet were fifty feet of terrible emptiness. Not one light or organism was seen, and the ocean appeared to be an entirely different shade of blue. It seemed to Beebe that its most prominent characteristic was its transparency. At thirteen hundred feet, much to Beebe's relief, life, mostly luminous, again became visible. Barton had just read the thermometer at seventy-two degrees when he saw three squids shoot in and out of the light, changing from black to barred white as they moved. At fourteen hundred feet Beebe saw several creatures of remarkably large size which hovered in the distance. On June 20, l930, Beebe had made fifteen descents, one to fourteen hundred feet and several to eight hundred feet. Beebe said that several times he saw an amazing change of courtesy between the larger and smaller fish. To the ever-occuring question of how did he feel, Beebe can only quote the words of Herbert Spencer. l-le felt like an infinitesimal atom floating in illimitable space. SALLY CHASE 2 Twenty-three EWENE w Cnurlfsy of St, Louis Post-Dispatch DR. BEEBE'S FLOAT ln the 1934 Veiled Prophet's Parade, the outstanding float, that of Dr. William Beebe's bathysphere, was one of most suggestive and interpretive that the city has seen for some time. The blue and green indirect lighting showed the beauty of the sea floor. It was a color scheme of interminglecl pink, white, and soft purple tints. The pink sea anemones and corals made one almost gasp with their startling likeness to these animals of the sea. Nothing was too vivid: nothing was out of place. One saw devil-fish, sharks, and lesser animals of numerous descriptions seemingly swimming around in the depths. The representation of the bathysphere itself was very convincing. It was a silver sphere with openings on all sides, representing the quartz windows in the original. MARGARET HILL Twenty-four 935 935 EVJZINH EXPLORING THE STRATOSPHERE NLY recently have people in. general become interested in the strato- sphere. It has been only within the last fifty years that much of the knowledge which we now possess of the gaseous portion of our sphere has been accumulated. The principal reason for the rapid growth of interest in this field is the possibility of using it as a lane for long distance flying. This would be desirable because it would mean the elimination of the storms, fogs, and winds encountered in the lower atmosphere and because much greater speed would be possible since less resistance would be offered by the air. There are, however, several problems involved. The most important of these is the difficulty of designing aircraft suitable for use in this region of extreme cold and diminished supply of oxygen. These problems are not beyond solution. Probably the intensive study which is being made of the stratosphere at the present time may lead to its being conquered in the near future. Until almost the end of the nineteenth century observations had been confined-'to the lower regions, and the conditions in the upper regions of the atmosphere could only be surmised. Observations made up to a height of two or three miles by means of sounding and passenger carrying balloons had shown that up to about three thousand meters above the earth conditions are very variable with regard to air currents and temperature. Above that level the changes in temperature were found to be more uniform, and the winds become generally more easterly in direction and much stronger. From this knowledge scientists assumed that decreasing temperature and increasing wind velocity would continue until the outermost portions of the atmosphere were reached. ln 1898 this supposition was upset by de Bort, a French meteorologist, who, by means of sounding balloons, made observations at higher altitudes than had formerly been attained. His conclusions were consistent with the early observations up to about eleven kilometers above sea-level. At that point, however, the temperature remained constant or even increased with the altitude. The first name given to this newly discovered region was uisothermal layerug later it was changed to the present term, stratosphere , The work and theories of de Bort have been confirmed and further advanced by numerous scientists since that time, among whom Gold, Milne, and Humphreys have been particularly important. Auguste Piccard, a Swiss-Belgian professor, accompanied by his brother jean, made a stratosphere flight in l9l 3 in an effort to measure the density and temperature of the gas inside their balloon. ln May, 1931, and in August, l932, Piccard made two more balloon ascents to study the cosmic rays in the stratosphere. It was believed that this would lead to other dia- coveries, such as the reason for the fading of wave-length and the cause of Twenty-Hue EWZHE the queer signals which interest Marconi. Professor Piccard has proved that the air in the stratosphere, instead of lying in layers each colder than the one below, stands in huge columns, each with its own temperature, and is much less dense than near the earth's surface. On October 23, I934, Professor Piccard and his wife made a balloon ascent in which they hoped to reach a height of sixty thousand feet. Their purpose was to observe the cosmic rays. They were forced to land without making the intended study. Piccard's flights are important and have served to focus public attention upon the stratosphere. A very recent Stratosphere flight was the National Geographic Society- United States Army Air Corps Stratosphere Expedition, which was planned in the fall of I933 and took place in July, I934. The members of the crew were Major Wm. E. Kepner, pilotg Captain Albert W. Stevens, observer, one of the foremost aerial photographers in the world, and Captain Orvil A. Anderson, alternate. The base of the flight, Stratocamp, was loated in the Black Hills of South Dakota, twelve miles southwest of Rapid City. This site was chosen because it was a point far enough west to permit the balloon to drift seven or eight hundred miles east and land in comparatively unforested countryg the record of the region was promising for good summer flying weatherg and the spot was sheltered from surface winds. The camp, estab- lished in June, was like a small city with its own drainage system, sawdust- paved streets, waterworks, two electric lighting systems, parking spaces, a fire department, a hospital and an ambulance, traffic officers, three telephone lines, two radio stations, and a special weather station, which ranked in fullness of information furnished with the half dozen most important weather stations in the United States. It was inhabited by scientists, army officers, veteran balloonists, troops, and many civilian workers, all of whom were kept busy for almost two months in preparation for the flight. As the instruments were to be of full laboratory size to insure accuracy, it was necessary to build a gondola larger than any previously sent aloft. ln view of the enormous weight of the gondola and instruments and the height to which the weight had to be lifted, the balloon had to be the largest ever constructed. At the end of five months, the balloon, airtight and holding three million cubic feet of gas when fully inflated, was completed. The crew took a Fairchild aerial camera to record instrument readings, showing the position and altitude of the balloon at all times, the rate of ascent or descent, the direction of drift, and the velocity of air currents. The instrument that would afford new information regarding the distribution of ozone and the height of its center of concentration was the spectrograph. Three electroscopes for use in obtaining data on the penetration of cosmic rays and a Geiger counter apparatus to record the directions of movement of cosmic rays were also taken. Two sealed barographs were hung outside to determine the altitude reached.

This preparatory work, begun early in June, was completed July 9. As photography was to play an important part in the work, it was essential to make the flight during very special weather conditions covering an area of seven or eight hundred miles to the east. Cloudless skies and good visibility were needed. Current weather maps were completed every morning and evening. On July 27 the weather conditions were suitable. The men took off shortly after sunrise. At forty thousand feet they stopped. On no previous Hight had a balloon been stopped halfway between the ground and the maximum altitude. They had planned that at a height of about sixty-five thousand feet the balloon would stop rising and that by discharging additional ballast they would rise to at least seventy-five thousand feet. At sixty thousand six hundred thirteen feet, however, only six hundred twenty-four feet from equalling the official world record for altitude in a balloon ascent, the bag ripped. In three-fourths of an hour they had descended to forty thousand feet. Half an hour later they were down to twenty thou- sand. It became urgent to lessen the weight in the gondola. They discharged ballast, attached some of the instruments to parachutes and dropped them, poured out the remaining liquid air, and threw out the two empty containers attached to parachutes. Even in this crisis Captain Stevens, Major Kepner, and Captain Anderson were careful to throw out nothing in a way which might injure people on the ground. At a little more than half a mile from the ground the men jumped, coming down safely in a cornfield near Holdrege, Nebraska. They really should have left sooner, but they did not wish to abandon the scientific apparatus and wanted to be near it when they landed. Lieutenant F. Phillips and Sergeant G. B. Gilbert, making pictures as they followed in an airplane, photographed the Hnal collapse of the balloon. Much of the valuable apparatus was a mass of wreckage, and many feet of film were a total loss. If some of the negatives on which nearly all the reports were registered can be salvaged, much valuable information will be disclosed. It is believed that some of the photographs will furnish valuable scientific information. The preliminary reports from the several scientific laboratories are somewhat encouraging, and, if sufficient data were saved, it is possible that the laboratory measurements originally planned can be made. The balloon, gondola, and apparatus of the Hight, which lasted nine hours and fifty-seven minutes, cost less than sixty thousand dollars. This cost, borne largely by the National Geographic Society, was also shared by indi- viduals, corporations, and laboratories interested in the advancement of knowledge. During the flight small quartz tubes containing ten different kinds of spores furnished by the Department of Agriculture were hung outside. ln Twenty-eight 9 Twentgfnine Z SLO EO L. ...J RE.-I 342 QCD fm DDS gm 51 SO..

The distinguishing feature of the stratosphere is its temperature. This varies with the conditions existing at the surface of the earth, such as the season, latitude, surface altitude, and barometric pressure. The average height of the lower boundary of the stratosphere is about seven miles above sea-level, varying sometimes because of the same conditions that cause the temperature to vary. It is generally believed that the temperature begins to decrease again at the altitude of forty or fifty miles. Other interesting characteristics of the stratosphere are its freedom from 'storms and clouds, and its very moderate winds. Humphreys, in giving his summary of the situation existing in the earth's atmosphere, said: We have two distinct atmospheres that intermingle but slightly: a lower one with a large negative temperature gradient: and an upper one with a small positive gradient, The lower contains two-thirds to three-fourths of the entire mass of such gases of the air as oxygen, nitrogen, and all members, except helium, of the argon family, a still greater proportion of the carbon dioxide and nearly all the water vapor. The data obtained from this flight make it the most important exploration of the stratosphere. Captain Stevens, Major Kepner, and Captain Anderson deserve much credit for their work. FRANCES WILLERT Thirty 93 93 5 BWEHH OUR OWN STRATOSPHERE FLIGHT ET us curl up in our comfortable overstuffed chairs, tune in on our favorite radio program, and page through the latest number of the current magazine. What's this? HEXPLORERS ASCEND TEN MILES INTO THE. STRATOSPI-lE.RE.. This sounds interesting: let's see the next headline. After months of preparation, scientists reach their goal. As we read the article, we are living each moment of that historic ascentg in fact, we imagine that we are actually floating up into the rare atmosphere. We look up for a moment to glance at our altimeter. Our hearts give a sudden leap as we discover that we have risen ten miles. We hastily look out of the nearest port-hole, and, to our amazement, we beheld a glorious sight. The sky is a deep violet-almost black--ten times darker than on the earth. Old Sol seems much brighter up here than he does at sea level. We can't believe our eyesg we take another look. We see below us a giant relief map of tiny forests, rivers, and fields. The mountains look like miniature reproductions, and even the widest rivers appear to be nothing more than long, silver strings. We make a few hasty calculations and find that, if there were no mist, we could see a circle of earth having a diameter of 560 miles: this is equal to a surface of 250,000 square miles. We are really up in the air! Long before this thrilling half hour, however, the stage had been set for the ascent. Experts had spent many months designing and building our balloon, one of the largest ever made. Almost two acres of rubber-impreg- nated cloth were used in shaping the enormous envelope. While it was under construction, it had been exposed in no way to weather conditions. All windows in the factory had been sealed and only filtered air had been admitted: the workers had discarded their shoes and donned cloth coverings for their feetg every seam in the giant bag had been cemented and reinforced with tape on both sides. Indeed, every effort had been made to build a perfect balloon. Our gondola is a large, air-tight ball seven feet in diameter made of aluminum .l38 of an inch thickg it is provided with two manholes and eight little portholesg and it contains enough room for two men and the circular instrument boards that run all the way around. The earphones on our helmets and the microphones attached to the wall enable us to talk to practically anyone in the United States. For weeks before we hopped off, we received weather reports twice a day from the U. S. Weather Bureau. Finally word came last night that our ascent could be made this morning. Four inches of sawdust were spread within a level circle 200 feet in diameter: this was covered with canvas ground cloths to keep the fabric dry and clean. Next, the bag itself was brought from its factory and placed within this circle. Tanks containing 200,000 cubic feet of hydrogen were emptied into the giant envelope partially inflating it. While this was being done, instruments and batteries were being installed in our gondola according to a definite schedule. Everything moved like clockwork. When the ground activities had been Thirty-one JBUJEHH completed, and the final farewells made, the order to cast off was given. At last, we were on our way into the stratosphere. We slowly ascended for a few hundred feet, levelled off to make the final adjustments to our instruments outside the gondola, and then sealed ourselves in our lofty, air-tight prison. For the first time we discovered what a livable place it is. We do not feel the effects of the rare atmosphere even yet since the air pressure within is the same as it is at ground level. Our breathing apparatus has been working very efficiently for such a simple device: an electric fan sends blasts of air across the coils of liquid oxygen and toward the screen of chemicals that is absorbing the carbon dioxide generated by our breathing. We are comfortably warm even though the thermometer outside one of the ports reads 80 degrees below 0, Fahrenheit. The Geiger counter apparatus, designed to record the directions of the movements of the cosmic rays, is particularly interesting. The magnetic relays of this instrument click when a ray passes through the apparatus in a certain narrow path. You remember that when we were still on the ground the rate of clicks were one or two a minute: but listen to them now! These relays sound like the many typewriters in a large newspaper office. Evidently, then, these rays are coming in more than fifty times as fast in the stratosphere as they did at ground level. Unfortunately, we cannot determine the origin of these rays. Our calculations fail to show whether they are produced in the far off nebulae, the stars, the depths of infinite space, the upper layer of our atmosphere, or indirectly by the sun. Although the mystery of the cosmic rays is still unsolved, we can say that we have contributed some knowledge toward ltheir measurement. But we have forgotten the radio. Let's see what we can get. Listen, we're receiving orders from earth! Call your station-call your station- call your station-that is all. What can that mean? Perhaps they want us to land, maybe we are in danger because of a sudden change in weather conditions. Hurry, open that hydrogen valve! We must get down to earth as soon as possible. Can't we fall any faster? Listen, another message! This is station KGPC, the Metropolitan Police Department. The correct time is fifteen minutes, twelve and one-half seconds past seven o'clock. KGPC, St. Louis. Oh, everythings all right. We just forgot that this is an imaginary trip. Now that we are safely back in our comfortable chairs beside our radio, we are thoroughly convinced that all of this exploring in the stratosphere is much more than just the wild idea of a few explorers and scientists. We know that some day our present fuel supply will dwindle down and we hope that, when it does, man will have successfully harnessed the cosmic rays. When this has been achieved, man will have conquered another world. g o g ROBERT BARD I i tfiaf. . Thzrty-two 93 93 BWZIHE BYRD'S FIRST SOUTH POLE EXPEDITION F YOU were at Chicago's I933-34 World's Fair, you probably saw at least the out- side of that grand old ship, The City of New York, which carried Byrd and his men to the Antarctic on their first expedition. I said old, and in truth it is an old ship, for it was built in I886 by K. Larsen for the purpose of catching seals along the coast of Green- land. It is a priceless vessel, not only because of its historical value, but also because it is made of a lumber that can withstand the crush of the ice as no steel or other lumber could. The ship's sides are thirty-nine inches thickg and the hull is a little thicker. The City of New York had eight cabins aft: the kitchen, the library, Commander Byrd's own cabin, and five cabins for the seventy-seven men on the expedition. The ship carried an engine but was primarily a sailing vessel, barque rigged: although not noted for speed, she rode easilyrin a heavy sea and seldom shipped water over the bow. Because she lacked speed, she was towed from New Zealand to the pack ice by the Eleanor Bolling, the steel ship of the expedition. After passing through the roughest seas in the world, called the Roaring Sixties, the Eleanor Bolling was re-christened the E uermore Rolling. The City Of New York carried supplies and the three airplanes: the Floyd Bennett, the Stars and Stripes, and the Virginia. A Byrd took a large library, old motion picture releases, and many games, such as blackgammon and checkers, to amuse the men. I-le had generators so that the men would not complain of the lights in the dark months to come. Dried and dehydrated vegetables, canned meats, and sweets were on board. All vegetables had to be soaked over night in water, and some of the biscuits of dehydrated this, that, and the next thing were so bad that the men ate them only after the dogs refused. The expedition landed at Ross Barrier on the Bay of Whales, the same place that Amundsen had chosen on his expedition in I9I l. Little America was built on an ice barrier under which are l 400 feet of water. All the buildings are buried under snowg the two main buildings, the administration building and the mess hall, about 200 yards apart, are connected by a tunnel through Thirtyithree ' BVJENH the ice. The tunnel was lined on either side with stores of food and supplies. Because of the high winds, all the houses were built without eaves. During six dark winter months, from May to October, many things were done. Plans were made and maps were drawn for the flight to be made in the summer. The men rose at seven and worked eight hours every day. Everyone spent fifteen minutes each day under the battery of sun-lamps. The evenings were spent in the library or in the mess hall, which was con- verted into a workshop during the hours between meals: the time was spent checking instruments, testing equipment, and repairing tools. A Norwegian on the trip amused himself by building an exact reproduction of The City of New York: others built sleds or other articles. The clothing of the men was copied after that of the Eskimos. The gar- ments, parkas, were made of the skins of reindeer and caribou. Boots, called mukluks, caps, and gloves were also made of fur. ln very cold weather, about 70 degrees below, masks were worn to protect the faces from the sand-like snow. At this temperature the breath could be heard as the Vmoisture froze. At the first sign of the sun the men celebrated. As the temperature rose to twenty-five degrees above zero the men amused themselves by seeing which one could stay out longest when stripped to the waist. They also took snow baths and held snow fights. With the coming of summer, expeditions were sent out to various points to establish supply bases of food to be used in case the plane was forced down on its way to or from the pole. No precaution could be spared in this effort to reach the pole. On November 4, an expedition headed by Larry Gould set out to make a 400-mile journey to the Queen Maud Mountains and carry on geologicalsurvey. The men obtained many Very good specimens. Later Byrd Hew beyond the farthest point reached by the first expedition and succeded in erecting a supply base further in the desolate Queen Maud range. The Hag ship Floyd Bennett fnamed after one of Byrd's men in his expedition to the North Pole, who sacrificed his life in service for othersj was gone overand made ready for long travel. The amount of cargo to be carried was estimated to the milligram. Then various test flights were made, until it was positively determined that the ship could Hy over the highest of the Queen Maud Range. On November 25 the Floyd Bennett was warmed up. First the plane was dragged from its shelter, and the motor was covered with a heavy tarpaulin hood under which several portable stoves were placed: large quantities of oil were cooked on the stove while the engine was being thoroughly warmed: then a chain gang was formed, and the oil was transported to the plane and emptied into the motor. The men waited anxiously for' the sound of the popping of the exhaust. After the motor had started, Mr. Balchen, the pilot, Thirty-four 935 Mi Photo b REAR-ADMIRAL BYRD'S SHIP ON VIEW AT TIEIE CHICAGO WORLDS FAIR ss Lawton Thirty-Hue BUJEHH throttled it so that the plane could be loaded. The cargo consisted of a dog team and sled, many bundles of food, skis, snow shoes, medicine, extra clothing, and two motion picture cameras. Byrd himself supervised the final tests of the controls: when he was convinced that everything was in good condition, he motioned to Captain McKinley and Balchen to get into the ship. After giving last instructions to June, the other pilot, he climbed aboard himself. The temperature was about twenty-five degrees above zero, the weather was clear, and the visibility nearly perfect. The landscape was a mass of color: far down south the horizon was colored with indigo and ultra-marine and shaded from royal purple to cold violet and grayish blue. To the north a faint flush of pink was overlaid with mauve. They hopped off-to be the first men to Hy over the south pole. The group left at the camp listened anxiously to the radio reports from the plane for nineteen hours. Ship slightly tailheavyu was the first message. Shifting dogs forward. Flying 9000 feet high. Hard to get higher with our twelve thousand pound load. . Breathing difficult in this rarefied air. Then there was silence for over an hour and the group around the radio hoped and feared in turn. Entering Queen Maud Mountains, came the wireless. Flying slightly over i000 feet. Entering pass in Axel Heiberg Glacier. Thirty-six 935 1935 BWEHH Then the men around the operator grew tense. Losing altitude. Must dump something quick. Air very bumpy. With their hearts in their mouths the men listened anxiously. Dumped food. Missed rocks by yard! All clear. After that there was easy going, over a terrain much like that near Little America. Shortly after midnight came the message. Circling the pole. An absolutely smooth expanse of snow. On the return trip it seemed that the Floyd Bennett was going to crash on the rocks. One hundred gallons of gasoline were dumped this time, necessitating a stop at one of the caches established previously. At ten the morning of November 26, the plane coasted to a landing at Little America ending the l500 mile flight to the pole. Beginning December 5, Admiral Byrd explored over 35,000 miles of territory by means of airplane and discovered a new range of mountains. Two weeks later the geological party discovered a rich vein of high-grade coal in the region of Mount Nansen. The coal is definite proof that the region had been tropical or semi-tropical at one time. Soon the light began to wane and Byrd wirelessed for The City Off New York. The planes and wireless tower, as well as the buildings of Little America were left, completely guarded against cold. On February I8, Byrd and his men bade farewell to the scene of their explorations. This expedition is very important both for the valuable geological findings and the great work in exploration.

He is admired for his daring, esteemed for his scientific attainments, and genuinely beloved for his modesty and charm. The steady growth of his popularity has been a just reward for these virtues, as well as for his breath-taking exploits. Almost ever since he could toddle Byrd has been an adventurer. At the age of twelve he traveled around the World alone. He went to England to help Hy the ill-fated ZR-2 to America. He was assigned to the trans-Atlantic flight of the Navy's NC boats in l92l. As flight leader with the National Geographical Arctic Expedition in l923, he and his planes flew six thousand miles over the icy wastes of the north. On May 9, l926, he and Floyd Bennett circled the North Pole, the first time it had been circled by air. In June, 192 7, after forty-two terrible hours in the air, he crossed the Atlantic from New York to France. Before Admiral Byrd started off on his great trip to the North Pole, he met with disaster. As his heavily loaded plane, the America, soared upward, the weight was too much for the three-motored plane and it crashed, injuring Byrd and critically injuring Floyd Bennett. Byrd left Wiscasset, Maine, June 20, l925. After an uneventful voyage of three thousand miles he reached Etah, North Greenland, the home of the northermost Eskimo tribe-a primitive people who live as they have lived for thousands of years. Since they dwell north of the ice that fills the dreadful Melville Bay, they are not touched by civilization. Byrd selected Etah as his base because it is the nearest accessible harbor to the area in the Polar Seas which he wanted to reach. The harbor is free enough for a Hyer to be able to take off a plane without striking a mass of ice if he is careful. lce and heavy weather had delayed him many times but had never seriously menaced his planes. Byrd's first reconnaissance flight was to Cape Sabine, which lies on his proposed course toward the Polar Sea, thirty miles from Etah. He found that the ice began several miles north of Etah and covered all the water to the north as far as he could see. He flew low, hoping to find the ice smooth enough to land on, but it was rough and corrugated, and generally in such condition that the landing upon it would have been as disastrous as landing among large rocks: the plane would have been completely demolished and, of course, the flyers probably would not have been able to walk away from the Wreck. Byrd realized that the ice-landing skis would be of no use under such conditions. There were pools of water on the ice, and here and there seemingly open leads were found to be filled with attached pieces of ice. In all the hundreds of square miles of ice, both land and sea, he did Thirty-eight 935 935 EWZINH not find a single place where a landing could be made without disaster. This land, uninhabited, had ben visited only once or twice before by Admiral Peary. When Byrd reached Cape Sabine, he passed over the spot where eighteen of General Creeley's men died from cold and hunger. The men in the expedi- tion said they had never seen a bleaker spot. Over to the north they could make out Bache Peninsula, which Peary had traversed in l898, and where his hunters killed oxen for a fresh meat supply. Beyond Cape Sabine, the view that opened was superb. The men were stirred with the spirit of great adventure, with the feeling that they were getting an idea, never before possible, of the Arctic's ruggedness and ruthlessness. They believed that they had a new story to tell of the grandeur of Elles- mere lsland. It was evident that the greater part of the land they saw had been inaccessible to the foot traveler, who, keeping largely to the water routes, with the view cut off by the fiords' great perpendicular cliffs, could not have realized the colossal and varied character of the glacier-cut mountains. No idea of the extremely irregular and rugged character of Ellesmere lsland can be secured from the maps and charts. Upon their return, a driving snow-storm set in which almost caused the destruction of the boats and planes. Then they were across the landing, reaching the eastern end of Bay Fiord. The crossing of the glacier had taken only a few minutes. what a contrast to the crossing Fitzhugh Green made in l9l4 when he struggled up over the steep ice slopes and crevasses for days in temperatures down to sixty degrees below zero! Surely the plane had altered polar exploration. Byrd could have used any of three places for his starting point: Point Barrow, Etah, or Spitzbergen. Point Barrow, Alaska, is not accessible on account of the ice until late summer, except by a long flight over the moun- tains. By that time clear weather over the Polar Sea is replaced by fog. Although Point Barrow is the northernmost point of Alaska, it is nearly four hundred miles farther from the Pole than Etah or Spitzbergen. Etah is reasonably accessible by August l, but presents no good take-off for a land plane. Moreover, it is very foggy and the local winds are very sudden and very strong. ln contrast, the ice surrounding Spitzbergen is subject to the warming influence of the Gulf Stream. On that account, King's Bay, which is only seven hundred and fifty miles from the Pole, can be reached as early as April. Unquestionably it is- best suited for a starting point. Byrd's plan was to fly westward at first and to explore Peary Land in the north end of Greenland. He hoped to come down on some large snow- drift, using skis, and leave supplies in case the party was forced to walk back from the Pole. So he began to build a raft. just as they finished the raft, the very thing they dreaded happened. The ice started moving with great force, and they had a great struggle, saving the raft and even one of the steamers. A big iceberg came lowering in with the tide. On account Thirty-nine EWEINE of drifting snow, they did not see it until it was almost upon them, seriously threatening the ship's rudder. They had to rush dynamite to the corner of the incoming monster to split it into pieces that could be handled or that might be swept clear by the current. Then they came upon the large snow-drift which they had hoped to discover. Because of the dreariness of the region, the men named the camp Gray I-look. They found that they had to dig down through the snow to build a fire on which to heat the cans of oil before they could pour it into the engines that had already been warmed under a big fireproof canvas bag heated by a pressure gasoline stove below. A field-kitchen was put up in the vicinity of the raft and plane, and meals were served in the open in the cold as the men worked. Fuel drums were hauled up by hand and sled, heavy parts brought alongside, equipment and instruments for the exploring were assembled near by under cover, and all was made ready for a hop-off in case of necessity. Then they started exploring. After spending weary months at this camp Byrd started homeward, mak- ing the return trip in record time. The successful landfall at Gray l-look demonstrates Commander Byrd's skill in navigating along a predetermined course. He had been successful in his flight northward into an unconquered world.

This great mountain, which is 29,141 feet high, has never been climbed. Thirteen men have lost their lives in attempting to climb its steep, treacherous sides. Finally a group of Englishmen thought of flying over it in airplanes. The dangers of such a venture were so great that they were not even known. No one knew what air pockets and other barriers to successful flights were present over this, the highest mountain in the world. The brave men who first ventured over the peaks of Everest were all well-known Englishmen. One of them, the first pilot to fly over, was Lord Clydesdale, a British sportsman and air enthusiast. The leader of the expedition was Air Commander Fellowes, former British war ace and aide-de-camp to the king. The other pilot who actually flew over Everest was Lieutenant Mclntyre. The two pilots were accompanied by photographers, representatives of British newspapers, whose duty it was to take all possible pictures, as they were very neces- sary for map making and the surveying of the mountain ranges. Many precautions had to be taken by these flyers. At the height of 26,000 feet, man loses consciousness: and, since the flight was to take the men up to a height of about 34,000 feet, huge cylinders of oxygen had to be used. A man breathes about as much oxygen in one minute as could be captured in a soda bottle, so you see how much oxygen had to be provided. The oxygen was heated to prevent its freezing before it reached the men. The men were clothed in one-piece suits that zipped up the front and were heated. The boots, goggles, and gloves had to be heated, too. Strangest of all, the cameras had to be heated so that they would work. Two of the men narrowly escaped dying when their oxygen supplies were momentarily cut off. Bonnet, the photographer, in his eagerness to get as many pictures as possible, stepped on the tube connecting him with his oxygen tank. He almost lost consciousness before he noticed that his tube Forty-one BUJENH was broken. He bound it up with his handkerchief and thus saved himself. Lieutenant Mclntyre had a terrible moment when he found that his micro- phone, connecting him with the pilot, had slipped from its position in his mask and that the thin, cold air was getting in his lungs. He lost no time in screwing it in. Probably one of the strangest facts about Mount Everest is that a stream, or pennant, of ice particles flows from its peak, day after day. The lndians think that this mountain is the home of the Ruler of the Earth, and that this snow plume hides the temple of the goddess, who rules all the people of the earth. Because of the fear that the inhabitants of Nepal, the territory contiguous to this great mountain, have of airplanes, the flyers had orders to fly at as great a height as possible. The men decided to take no parachutes, as they felt that if they were forced to die, they would rather die with the plane, and immediately, than jump into the ragged crags and crevasses of the mountains with parachutes. Commander Fellowes and another pilot, each with a photographer, went out one clear day to photograph the huge mountain Kanchanjanga, which is the sister mountain of Mount Everest. The day was fine and very clear when they started, and the men felt sure of getting some good pictures. When the flyers were above the mountain of Kanchanjanga, however, a start- ling change took place. A cloud began to form and the entire face of the mountain was covered with a veil of clouds. Where a moment before they had been able to see the huge peaks of the mountains, there was only- a group of clouds. Suddenly the planes were caught in an invisible air-pocket Forty-two 935 93 BKUEHH and they were flung about like corks in a breaking wave. The two planes were helpless, and the pilots were unable to control them. One of the machines was Hung downward and just barely missed disaster. Fortunately, the two planes soon passed out of that area and were brought into the airport without further accident. A few days later, on the morning of April 3, I933, at approximately eight o'clock, the men took off on their second flight in two Westland planes. The pilots Hew only by instruments be- , cause the mountains were not reliable horizons by which to judge theheight of a plane. Everything went on smoothly until the two planes were twelve miles from Everest. There they were caught in the grasp of a huge downfall of wind and lost two thousand feet before the pilots, Clydesdale and Mclntyre, could control the planes. They lost so much altitude ' that they doubted that they would be able to clear the peak of Mount Everest. How- ever, they passed about one hundred feet above it. The two planes flew entirely around the mountain three times, While the photographers took all the pictures ' that they possibly could. They then re- turned to the airport at Purnea, the base of the expedition. When these pictures were developed, it was found that, in several of the photographs, a small, black spot appeared on the film. When scientists were consulted on this question, they said that undoubtedly this spot was a lake which was filled by hot springs. Imagine, a lake filled by hot springs at a height of 20,000 feet! But that is just one of the odd things that these Hyers found. This expedition was made possible by the financial support of Lady Houston of England, for whom it was named. Although this great mountain has been conquered by air, it is as yet unconquerable by land. PATRICIA DOYLE Pxrlures used hi-ri' by rnurlssy of .-lmvricmz Hoy Magazine J l t ',4.w......., Forlq-three ig 7' 139.75155 THE WORLD'S LARGEST EYE UCH has been written recently on the topic of the World's Largest Eye, the huge mirror which is to be used in the largest telescope in the world. Scarcely a day passes that there is not a picture or a short article in one of our newspapers telling of the progress in the making of this telescope. Two mirrors have been made, but only one of them will be used in it. One was cast in March, I934, and, after ten months of cooling, was declared perfect but for one flaw. The second mirror was cast in the following December, and, after being poured, was found to be perfect. How- ever, only one telescope will be made, for two would cost too much. This second mirror will take ten months to cool. Leaders in many branches of science co-operated with the International Education Board of New York, which provided the 56,000,000 telescope fund. The 200-inch mirrors poured recently were made of super pyrex-borsili- cate glass. The process of pouring this glass to form the mirrors was slow and extremely difficult. It was poured from small ladles, one hundred and thirty in all, because the glass has such heat that the iron ladles become so hot that Hakes of iron melt off and fall into the mould, spoiling it. Ten ladles were used in all. While some were being plunged into cold water to cool, others were in use. The workers at this glass works are infra-ray tanned because glass of this type is particularly rich in infra-red rays. Even though this mirror is of great size, it is not as heavy as it would appear. Instead of being a deep disk, the mirror is comparatively thin, with an intricate system of ribs and webs on the back to give strength to the surface. When these mirrors have finished cooling, they will be ground and pol- ished. ln the final stages of polishing, men will work less than an hour a day on them, otherwise, the heat from their bodies might affect the curves on the surface. These new mirrors will be' coated with aluminum, although ordi- narily telescope mirrors are silvered. lnside a huge vacuum chamber, indi- vidual atoms of aluminum will be deposited on the glass surface, giving it a reflective power greater than that of silver, and one that is especially sensitive to weak. ultra-violet rays. A great number of auxiliary instruments will be used in this telescope, such as thermocouples, spectroscopes, and photo- electric cells. Among other unique devices will be a solar furnace consisting of mirrors and burning glasses with which a heat of 6,000 degrees Centigrade is hoped to be reached by focusing the sun's rays. Huge motors and cylinders of compressed air will move the whole base under the control of an astronomi- cal clock, so that after the instrument has been pointed at a star, it will automatically follow the object as the earth turns. A change of a few degrees of temperature would influence the figure of the mirror, throwing its focal point outg consequently, the huge dome will be double-walled to prevent Forty-four 935 2 Q 2 , T X C D I 6 U Fong!-Tice in 5' E-Y-I Z O iT 5' I-' Z Lv-1 3 P Lu I I-' u.

The mirror will remain covered and protected when not in use, and water circulating around the mounting will keep the mass at the same temperature as the outside air when the shutters of the dome are rolled back. The mirror will never be used to observe the sun, for the hot rays might permanently disfigure its surface. Contrary to accepted notions, the telescope will rarely be used for visual observations of the stars. Photographic plates are infinitely more sensitive to light than the human eye. By means of time exposures astronomers can obtain pictures of stars so faint that the eye cannot detect them. ln the future, astronomers will make their discoveries in the photographic dark room. Instead of making the telescope increase the size of star images, astronomers hope that it will condense them to tiniest pin-points of light. No telescope powerful enough to show the shape of a star can be builtg the goal of telescope builders is to achieve an instrument in which even micro- scopic vibration is absent. This telescope will be stationed at a place where stars twinkle less than at others, for twinkling gives a fuzzy appearance to star photographs. The choice of a location has now narrowed down to one of four mountain tops in the United States. Who can tell what this giant eye may reveal in the years to come?

' ,, X A 935 935 EWHHH TRULY UN CON QUERED A V1 HAT could be more truly unconquered than El Tule? El Tule, a giant at the time of the birth of Jesusg El Tule, a king of the forest when Alexander the Great wept because he had no more worlds to conquerg El Tule, worshipped as a god while all Europe was still pagan! What is El Tule? It is the ten-thousand year old cypress that screens a sixth of an acre of churchyard from the rays of the midday sun in the little village of Santa Maria del Tule in southwestern Mexico. A basin-shaped depression at the top of the trunk where the branches shoot out could hold one hundred persons: and if the tree were hollow at the base, it could quite easily shelter two hundred men. It has a circumference of one hundred and seventy-five feet, a distance so great that thirty-five men, standing with hands joined, could barely encircle it. The peerless El Tule weighs over six hundred tons. lt contains wood enough to build twenty-two average houses. Lumber sufficient to construct three fleets the size of that which first brought Columbus to America could be furnished by it. That we shall never know the exact age of El Tule in years is probable, as it has outlived a hundred and fifty generations of men and it may out- live a hundred and fifty more. Whether it is young, mature, or old has been undetermined by scientists: it will be impossible to ascertain its precise age as long as it lives. Men have long pondered over the fact that El Tule as a whole is so short while its trunk is so thick. The most reasonable theory yet advanced is that the tree has trained itself to remain close to its water supply. Then arises another question. Whence comes the water which is so necessary to insure its freshness? Located at a rather high elevation, it is sometimes without the benefits of rain for periods ranging as long as six months. Baffled for years, scientists were finally enlightened by an Indian legend that on a quiet night, one could hear water flowing into the roots of the tree by placing his ear to the ground. Investigating, the scientists discovered an underground stream. From time immemorial El Tule has been the object of veneration. Twice a year, at Easter and at Christmas, the Indians from the surrounding country- side gather at El Tule for a fiesta with dancing and singing. This reverence, probable more than anything else, has preserved it from vandals and souvenir hunters. Truly unconquered by time is this colossus of the plant kingdom! WILLIAM WESTRAY S.- N ! kia. Forty-nine BWENH THE ANTARCTIC HE early explorations into the region south of the equator and the 1:-2 r . . . discovery of numerous lands gave rise to the belief that a vast of rich empires. Inf continent existed near the South Pole. Daring men set out in search Captain Cook, in circling the globe in high southern latitudes, proved that if a circumpolar continent existed at all, it must be well south of the sixtieth parallel. ln I 772, Captain Cook sailed from England with two ships, the Resolution, of 462 tons, and the Adventure, of 336 tons. He made his base at New Zealand. On Sunday, January I 7, l 773, he crossed the Antarctic Circle at longitude 390 35' East, the first such crossing ever made. For a month he cruised an open sea, meeting icebergs and drifting pack, until he was stopped by an impenetrable pack. For fear that he would be stuck indefinitely, he retreated north, returning south again the following December. Twice he traversed the Antarctic Circle, seeking a way through the pack but each time came upon large stretches of ice. His own words are worth quoting: l will not say that it was impossible to get farther to the south, but attempting it would have been a rash and dangerous enterprise and what, l believe, no man in my situation would have thought of. It was, indeed, my opinion, as Well as the opinion of most on board, that this ice extended quite to the Pole, perhaps joined some land . . . but if there is, it can afford no better retreat for birds, or any other animals, than the ice itself. l, who had ambition not only to go farther than any one had been before, but as far as it was possible for man to go, was not sorry at meeting this interruption. The next half century witnessed efforts of a different character. No longer were the men seeking rich empires but the fur-bearing seals which offered more wealth. Scientific research was also a reason for exploration at this period. , The period of actual discovery found three men: the Frenchman, D'Ur- villeg the American, Wilkes: and the Englishman, Ross, on the very edge of the continent within a year. D'Urville was off first, and after a futile attempt to gain the continent southeast of the South Shetlands, sailed from Hobart Town in l840. He discovered Adelie Land, a far-reaching expanse of ice cliffs, on an islet adjoining which his men saw a fragment of rock which scientists hastily broke up for specimens. While off these coasts, he met one of Wilkes' ships, the Porpoise. Wilkes' expedition, authorized by an Act of Congress, May IS, 1836, consisted of six vessels manned by 345 men, eighty-three officers, and twelve civilian scientists and attaches. The expedi- tion sailed from Norfolk, Virginia, on August IS, 1838, to their base at Sydney Harbor. The ships reached the ice pack in I839, and in I840 claimed Fifty 935 1935 BWEINH the discovery of an immense extent of continental land. Whether Wilkes' men really made this discovery is something the British still seem to doubt. No such doubts threatened Ross's claims however. Under orders from the Admiralty to locate the South Magnetic Pole, if possible, and the conti- nent, if it existed, he sailed from England, September, I839. His two vessels were strongly built. Ross decided to strike south far to the east, following I70O East meridian. He sailed from Hobart, December, I840, and on January 5, 1841, he plunged his two vessels into the pack. Four days later he emerged into the deep waters of the sea that bears his name. On January I I, the peaks of Mount Sabine appeared on the horizon, then the Admiralty Range of mountains, and finally the low-set cape he named Cape Adare. I-le struck a southern course, hoping to hedge in toward the Magnetic Pole, and on his way sighted a second range of mountains he named Prince Albert and then an active volcano he called Mount Erebue. Farther on he made a discovery of great importance. This was the Great lce Barrier, now known as the Ross lee Barrier. Ross made two later voyages to the South, but the value of his discoveries was overshadowed somewhat by the pubIic's rising interest in the North. From 1901 to 1912 Antarctic exploration was very active. ln I9I0 Five expeditions were in the field: English, Captain Robert F. Scott, Norwegian, Captain Roald Amundseng German, Lieutenant William Filchnerg Australian, Dr. Douglas Mainsong Japanese, Lieutenant Sheridan. Captain Scott on his first voyage, on the National Discovery Expedition, l90I-1903, pushed far beyond the limits of Ross's discoveries, adding hundreds of miles to the known coastline of the continent and discovering King Edward Vll Land and the eastern end of the Barrier. l-le undertook the first southern sledge journey. Captain Amundsen left Norway in the ship Pram in the summer of I9I0 with the intention of rounding Cape I-lorn and entering upon the ice-drift across the Polar Sea. I-Ie changed his plans after sailingg and when Captain Scott arrived at his proposed winter headquarters, he found Amundsen already there. Amundsen was finally successful in being the f1rst to locate the South Pole. I-le reached Hobart, Tasmania, March 7, I9I2g in his return voyage he announced that he had discovered the South Pole December I4, I9I I. The winter of I9I0-I I, he spent in quarters in the Bay of Whales, I64O West, 780 48' South. In February, I9I I, he began to prepare for his winter's work and before April I I, had built caches as far south as 800. The lowest winter temperature which he here recorded was on August I3, minus 590 Celsuis. The mean temperature for the year was 14.80 below zero Fahrenheit. On September 8, provisioned for four months, with eight men, ninety dogs, and seven sledges, he started for the Pole, but reached only as far as the Fifty-one BVJENQ depot at 800. There the party remained until the middle of October when a fresh start was made with five men, fifty-two dogs, four sledges, and four months' food. Victoria Land was reached on November II. At 850 the land joins the Ross Barrier of ice and from that point the men had to climb through a region of land whose heights ranged from two thousand to eleven thousand feet. In four days they reached a height of ten thousand six hundred feet, and their highest altitude, ten thousand seven hundred and fifty feet, was attained on December 6, at 870 40'. On Dectember 8, at 880 23', they passed the furthermost south record of Sir Ernest Shackleton. From this point they found the going easy until on December I4, at three o'clock in the afternoon, observations showed that they had attained their object. From December I4 to December I 7, they remained at the Pole, taking observations and finally locating exactly 900 South where they flew the Norwegian Flag and named the land at the Pole King l-laakon VII Plateau. Returning, they reached winter quarters on January 25, I9l2. The principal results of the expedition were locating the Pole, determining the extent of the Ross Barrier, ascertaining the apparent connection of South Victoria Land, King Edward Land, and the mountain ranges therein and the exploration of part of King Edward Land. Thirty days after Amundsen had planted the flag of Norway at the South Pole, Captain Robert F. Scott, R. N., unfurled the Union Jack of Great Britain at the Pole. The exact points of the two explorers, as determined by observations, were not more than half a mile apart. Scott took from the Amundsen tent the written message for King l-laakon, which was subsequently delivered. Scott's southern route had been practically that of his first dis- covery and of the Shackleton expedition and the return from the Pole was along the same track. Of the party of five, Petty Officer Edgar Evans was fatally injured soon after leaving the Pole, and one hundred fifty-five miles from the Hut Point base in lVlaclVlurdo Sound, Scott, Dr. Edward A. Wilson, second in command, chief of the scientific staff, and Lieutenant H. K. Bowers died in their tent of cold and privation. Not until the following spring, I9 I 3, did Surgeon Anderson succeed in reaching the tent of the dead and in recover- ing the bodies of Captain Scott and his comrades, with records, collections, and scientific data. The last entry in Scott's journal reads: I do not regret this journey, which has shown that Englishmen can endure hardships, help one another and meet death with as great fortitude as ever in the past. 'iThese rough notes and our dead bodies must tell the tales, but surely, surely, a great rich country like ours will see that those who are dependent on us are properly provided for. One of the most ambitious and daring of Antarctic projects was that of Sir Ernest Shackleton, launched in I9I4. Sir Ernest's project contemplated Fifty-two 935 1935 BUJEPJH a base on Coats Land and advance from that point directly over the ice barrier land mass and intervening region to the South Pole, and then keeping on to the familiar British Ross Sea base on the opposite side of the globe, employing for the purpose two ships and two parties, each working in support of the other, though only that headed by himself was to make the complete transcontinental trip. Leaving Liverpool, Sir Ernest proceeded in the Endur- ance via Buenos Aires and the Falkland Islands to South Georgia, where the last word was that ice conditions were so unfavorable that the attempt upon the mainland must be delayed until the following season. More than a year passed. Then Sir Ernest reported that though he had sighted new land, he had been unable to reach it and had been compelled to abandon his main objective, the crossing of the great Antarctic land mass. I-lis boat sank and his party of twenty-two was marooned on Elephant Island. l-le and two com- rades had crossed the distance between Elephant Island and South Georgia and made their way over its interior to the Norwegian whaling station from where his message was sent. His party, which had been marooned for nearly a year, was rescued in 1916. ln 1921, Sir Ernest again set forth in the Quest to explore the Enderly quadrant, but died in South Georgia in 1922, and further work was soon discontinued. The outstanding event in Antarctic exploration occurred late in 1929 when Admiral Richard E. Byrd and three companions made a thrilling and spec- tacular flight over the South Pole. Admiral Byrd was the first man to Hy over the South Pole. After two years preparation for this trip, he succeeded in his undertaking. Cn Thanks- giving Day, November 25, the weather was propitious to make the trip to the Pole. They packed the airplane, The Floyd Bennett, and started at '3:29 o'clock in the morning. Their course was laid along the meridian of the trail, which at that point was 1430 45' West. His three companions were Harold june, who tended to the motion picture camera, the radio and the complicated valves of the six gasoline tanks, Captain McKinley, aerial surveyor and third in command of the expeditiong and Bernt Balchen, senior in charge of the aviation unit. When the party was about sixty miles north of the western portal of Axel Heiberg, it was holding its course steadily on meridian 1630 45' West with the sun compass. Drawing nearer, they edged 300 to the west of south and brought not only Axel l-leiberg but also Liv's into view. This was a critical period. Byrd was not certain which way to go, but in the end he and Balchen decided to choose Liv's Glacier, the unknown pass to the right, which Amundsen had seen far in the distance and named after Dr. Nansen's daughter. It seemed to be wider than Axel Heiberg, and the pass not quite so high. While they were in the pass, which was not big enough to turn around in if they needed to do so, they met rough winds. The only thing Fifty-three EWENH to do was to throw weight overboard to lighten the plane. The big question was whether to throw away the food or gasoline. It took only a moment to decide. The need for gasoline was greater than that for food so over went two hundred and fifty pounds. The plane rose with a jumpg the engines dug in, soon showed a gain in altitude of from three hundred to four hundred feet, and cleared the pass with about five hundred feet to spare. ln the next few minutes they were over the dreaded I-lump. The Pole lay dead ahead over the horizon, less than three hundred miles away. It was then about 9:45 o'clock in the evening. Between ll:30 and l2:30 o'clock the mountains to the eastward began to disappear, dropping imperceptibly out of view one after another. Not long after 12:30 o'clock the whole range had sunk from view, and the plateau met the horizon in an indefinite line. The mountains to the right had long since disappeared. At l2:38 o'clock Byrd shot the sun. It hung, a ball of fire, just beyond south to the east, 210 above the horizon. It was quite low and they could stare it in the eye. At six .minutes after one o'clock a sight of the sun put them a few miles ahead of their dead reckoning position. They were very close now. The sight was a check, but Byrd depended more on the previous sight. At I :l4 o'clock, Greenwich Civil Time, their calculations showed that they were at the Pole. For a few seconds they stood over the South Pole and Admiral Byrd dropped the American Flag weighted with a stone from Floyd Bennett's graveg in honor of Amundsen and Scott, the flags of their countries were carried over the Pole. Byrd wrote: The Pole lay in the center of a limitless plain. No mountains were visible. ln the direction of Little America visibility was good, and so it was on the left. But to the right, which is to say to the eastward, the horizon was covered with clouds. If mountains lay there, as some geolosists believe, they were concealed and we had no hint of them. , And that, in brief, is all there is to tell about the South Pole. One gets there, and that is about all there is for the telling. It is the effort to get there that counts. JUNE GIBBS N Z 5 . 'f , .41 Fifty-four 935 9 EUJEJHH AN AERIAL EXPLOIT AY by day the value of the aeroplane is becoming more and more apparent. lt is being put to use in numerous ways to further science and exploration: its entrance into the science of archaeology has proved to be one of the most interesting. A recent expedition in Peru showed how valuable the aeroplane is in this field. Peru has long been a fascinating country to many because of the unusual way that its modern civilization mingles with remains of ancient times. A striking example is that one of its modern concrete boulevards cuts directly through an immense ridge made entirely of adobe bricks. This man-made hill stands as mute evidence of the forgotten civilization of the Chimu King- dom, which existed before the lncas came into power. The Chimu people have long been an object of curiosity and their land the place of rich archaeological finds. The people have disappeared, but ruins prove their former existence and the high grade of culture which was theirs. The recent expedition that added to the world's information concerning the Chimu Kingdom was headed by a young aviator, Lieutenant George R. Johnson. I-le had been chief photographer of the Peruvian Naval Air Service for three years. During that time, in cruising over out-of-the-way places, he often sighted curious looking objects which seemed to suggest ancient times. Johnson was fascinated with Perug and when he returned to the United States, he told such interesting stories that some of his friends were eager to return with him when he was given an opportunity to go back to carry on scientific work from the air. The party consisted of five men: Johnson, chief photographer and field leader: Valentine Van Keuren, topographerg Max Distel, mechanic, Irving G. l-lay, pilot and mechanic: and Robert Shippee, pilot and historian. These men, all under thirty years of age, spent eight months of adventure in Peru, taking photographs, making maps, and even furthering discovery about the ancients. Their work began at Chan Chan, the ancient capital of the Chimus, which covered an area of eleven square miles, and is thought to have had a population of 200,000 before the lncas laid siege to it. Until recent years the remains of Chan Chan were remarkably well preserved because of the extremely dry climate. ln recent years, however, there have been floods, which have caused walls to crumble and made ground surveys of the city of little value. Lieutenant johnson and his men took to the air, and from their place in the clouds, made some excellent maps and photographs showing the size and other features of the city in its present condition. These records will remain as concrete historical evidence long after time and weather have brought about the destruction of the originals. After having finished this important work, the party now turned to the more remote parts of Peru, where they made the all-important discovery of Fifty-Eve BWZIHH the trip. They flew inland as far as the Maronon River and returned to the coast over the region of the Santa River. It was here that the ever alert eye of Johnson caught sight of what appeared to be a wall extending over the ground below. He immediately took several photographs of it. When the prints were made the men were surprised to find that they had pictures showing an object of which the people were evidently in ignorance. Since the men were anxious to learn more about the extent and other features of the wall, they made another trip inland. This time they traced it from a ruined village near the coast to the north side of the Santa River. Shippee, the historian, wrote thus about the wall: Like some huge prehistoric snake, it writhes first across the level sandy plane of the river delta, and then as the valley narrows, over the edge of the bordering foothills. As the ridges become sharper and steeper, the wall rises and dips and in places turns slightly from its generally straight course. In places it blends so well with the background that it is almost indistinguishable. On this second trip weather conditions were not favorable for photographic workg however, an important discovery of about fourteen forts along the stretch of wall was made. After this finding, the men were anxious to begin their ground exploration of the wall. They started at Chimbote, which lies on the coast near the beginning of the wall. I-lere they found that the natives had heard about it from their ancestors and, though their knowledge of it was very limited, they knew it was of pre-Inca construction. The party then tried to find the beginning of the wall and with the aid of a rough sketch that they had made while in the air, but they wandered around for five hours before coming to the sand-covered village that marks the wall's beginning. Here it was that the men so fully realized how much more could be seen from the air. From their plane they had been able to distinguish the entire plan of the village, even separate houses, but on the ground the region seemed just a mass of sand-covered ruins. The men finally located the wall, and followed it as far as they couldg but it soon led into impassable regions, and so their ground exploration of it had to be given up. The object of their expedition had been to carry on scientific work from the air and take pictures of the country: consequently, they lacked the necessary facilities for the extensive ground exploration of a sand-covered object in so remote a region. Neither did they have the necessary time, because more charting and exploring were to be accomplished before they were to leave Peru. Their discovery of this wall has caused a parallel to be drawn between it and the Great Wall of China. Many theories for the building of this Great Wall of Peru have been advancedg doubtless it was constructed as a defense against enemies. This theory would seem most logical since it sub- stantiates the belief that the Ulncas abandoned their coastal invasion from the south and finally conquered by marching through the Andes and laying direct siege to Chan Chan. Fifty-six 935 935 BWHHH The importance of this discovery lies in its contribution toward helping piece together the history of the Chimu Kingdom. Perhaps without the aeroplane the discovery of this wall would never have been made. For, although fragments of it had been noted from the ground, they were regarded as merely short walls in a region where crumbling remains of antiquity are so abundant. Only from the air could the extent and significance of this man-made wall of the ancients be noted. It was probably very discouraging to the men who discovered it not to be able to explore the wall from the ground. Although their limited time and lack of necessary facilities forbade detailed exploration, certainly they have aided archaeology decidedly. When some expedition with a mule train penetrates these more remote sections of Peru and makes a thorough study of the wall and its forts, many more interesting facts concerning the ancient Chimu Kingdom will undoubtedly be revealed. The aeroplane has disclosed the existence of a feature of a kingdom which existed before the lncas came into power-a true archaeological find.

Because the Mongolian country is isolated in the heart of the continent of Asia, no expedition has penetrated into its interior until recently. The Central Asiatic Expedition went to Mongolia with a very definite purpose: to learn the geologic history of Asia, to find whether or not it had been the home of man and the dominant groups of animals, and to get a glimpse into its past-climate, vegetation, and general physical conditions- particularly as bearing on the evolution of man. The climate is very severe. During the winter the temperature very often falls as low as forty or fifty degrees below zero and wind sweeps down from the Arctic Ocean. Therefore, the only time scientific work can be carried on effectively is between April and October. Distances are tremendous. Because of the lack of railroads, not a single mile of which exists in all this vast area, transportation is very slow and uncertain. The only means are by F,i, ONGOLIA consists largely of a vast wasteland, an expanse of sand dll' . . i. ' ' . .1 camel and ox-cart. The automobile, however, is the answer to the transpor- tation problem. While camels can travel only ten miles a day through the desert, the automobile can average about a hundred miles a day. This means that with automobiles about ten years' work can be accomplished in one season. Even though the automobile made travel much faster, the expedition often found it very difficult to keep the trucks from slipping over embank- ments or from being stuck in the sand dunes. One device to overcome this trouble was to make roads of canvas re-enforced by strong rope. V There are many other obstacles met while traveling through the desert, such as the blizzards that come in the spring and the many bandits that roam the desert. Both weather and enemies have many times proved fatal to the merchants and expeditions that cross the desert. Many were robbed of their valuables and were told to be on their way across the desert. One of the most important discoveries made by the Central Asiatic Expedition was the discovery of dinosaur eggs, approximately ninety-five million years old. Dinosaurs were nine feet long, their eggs were nine inches in length. The most important nest was discovered by chance. One member of the expedition saw an eagle's nest resting on the top of a cliff. After making several unsuccessful attempts to scale the steep wall to get some of the young birds for pets, he gave up. While he was climbing the cliff, however, he saw some queer objects projecting from the side of it. These were dinosaur eggs: many more of which were buried beneath the strata. The second most important was the discovery of some bones of the giant Baluchetherium. This huge beast is said to have been the earth's largest Fifty-eight 93 BWENH nga., 47? 90 70 mo ll? lege. 1.90 'S - Lake .hp -5.5135 513151171 1 q ' gailfal y 4 fo xl' at , 'vs' x.-sh . I ' 1.

It stood seventeen feet high at the shoulders and was about twenty- four feet long and weighed many tons. The fossils of the Baluchetherium were discovered when several members of the expedition were looking for a new camp site. In their search they saw what looked like a huge white ball at the base of a hill. This ball proved to be the end of a giant humerus, or arm bone. It was about three feet long and about as thick as a man's body. Approximately thirty million years ago this huge animal roamed the desert and lived on vegetation, which at that time was very abundant. The animal grew without check until the aridity of the land caused vegetation to decrease. The Indian elephant, the nearest existing relative of this prehistoric creature, eats about six hundred pounds of grass a day. I-low much food must have been consumed by the Baluchetherium! As the vegetation disappeared, the animal was faced with a serious problem. It must either change its mode of living or migrate to a new land. Since it was too highly specialized to do either, it became extinct. Fifty-nine BWENE The people who inhabit this extensive Desert of Gobi are known as Mongol Nomads. They still believe in most of the superstitions of their ancestors. They dress somewhat like the ancient Chinese and have many of the ancient Chinese customs. The real home of the Mongol is on the pony's back. Children are taught to ride when they are about six years old. If they fall off at first, they receive no sympathy, but are put back, sometimes tied to the pony's back. ln a comparatively short time they are excellent horse- men. When a Mongolian becomes ill he receives no medical treatment what- ever. The only help he receives is the aid of the priest, the Lama, who resembles the medicine man of other savage tribes. If the Lama cannot cure the patient, the whole settlement decamps and leaves the sufferer to die alone. Modern civilization has never penetrated this region. The people have customs that were in use during ancient times. Even though this desert is said to be the cradle of human civilization, it has never made any advancement toward our present degree of high civilization. This vast wasteland can truly be classed as an unconquered world. HAROLD SCHLUTOW REFLECTIONS The sun, bowing low toward the line, Reflecting beauty,- Refreshing me.

And a most successful play it was. Aubrey Piper, the show-off fRobert Lloydj, was about as popular in the Fisher household as the plague. l-le patted IVlr. Fisher Clidward Speller- bergj heartily on the back, he delivered unwanted advice to Joe Fisher CRobert Bransonl, and he was patronizing to Mrs. Fisher flVIarcia Koernerlg consequently, even Clara Hyland fKathryn Gallej, the married sister, and her husband Uohn Brandt, avoided him whenever possible. The one' excep- tion to this general dislike was Amy Fisher CI-Ielene Braeutigamj, who, in spite of her mother's warnings that he could not support her, married him. Five months passed, and Mrs. Fisher's predictions came true. Amy and Aubrey moved in with her mother because there was nothing else they could do. Then the entire family was shocked by the untimely death of Mr. Fisher. IVIr. Gill fI..aureII Duboisl, a co-worker of Mr. Fisher, brought over his clothes and lunch-box and extended his sympathy. The family resources were swelled with the presentation of a fBI,000 insurance check by IVlr. Rogers fIVIarvin Krekelj. Not until the end of the third act did Aubrey show his better side. At that time he made 550,000 for Joe Fisher by doing exactly what he had always done--talking too much. The family relented somewhat towards him, and, at the conclusion of the play, one can predict a happier time ahead for all.

A cloud, like a sleepy cat, curls upon it and drowses: Then, restless, she stretches slowly, and saunters away. Her wilder fellows pass swiftly by. Afraid of the firelight. Rain comes in a great silver chariot, blazoned with lightning. And drawn by mettled, prancing winds. A masked vengeance dancer tramples the young grassesg His bare, dark feet flick spitefully the cowering earth. Spring's green tunic is torn 5 she is beaten and bruised As she clings to the loam and begs to be hid, The tree-mourners wail. The downpour slackensg Now the whispering fall is soothing as a remembered lullaby: The moon is the tired, staring eye of the world. A cloud closes it softlyg Rain croons to the earth, And, gratefully, she sleeps. -Grace Lee Jones Term 7 THE ROSE CATALOG The book is dull.

No, Cosme? Thrice have I knocked, seior, thrice have I called his name, but all Within is silent. The man at the desk turned a page. Bien, Cosme. l shall go up presently. But, sefior--in The Bolivian hesitated. The man at the desk had raised his eyes. Yes, Cosme? It is this, senor. Silda, too, she has gone to his room to take there his breakfast. It is the same, senor, all silent. So? Well, Cosme, l shall go to Sefior Nui'iego's room, now. Wait for me here. Si, sefiorf' Cosme remained motionless, frowning at the door which had closed after his master. He sighed, and stared at the blinds until they danced as a green blur before his eyes. Fifteen years ago, a young Spanish doctor had come to the forests west of Santo Corazon to start a cinchona plantation. His rise had been methodical, determined, certain. For fifteen years he had bullied and terrorized the natives, mercilessly crushed his enemies, and cheated and betrayed those hap- less enough to think themselves his friends. Today he was the wealthiest planter in Eastern Bolivia. His plantation, cut off from the rest of the country by a sinister tropical forest, was like a small village where his word was the final, the unquestioned law. The natives called him El Jefe, the Chief. What graver offense than disobedience to his wishes, what sternerujury than his anger, what sharper penalty than the crack of his whirling whip? You were right, Cosmef' said a low voice behind him. All is silent. Cosme turned. Si, seiior? All is silent, continued El Jefe, because1- Cosme's hands gripped the edge of the desk. Because-? he whispered. Because he is dead. Dead, sefior? Unfortunately, smiled El jefe, yes. He died from a heart attack, Cosme. Ah, it is very sad. Nunego was a great ture player. I shall miss in our evening games. To think-the last one has been played. And did you win the last game, senior? El Jefe shrugged. But, of course, Cosmef' he said reproachfully. The overseer wet his lips. Si, seiior. And his relatives? Shall I notify them? El Jefe's left eyebrow mounted. There are no relatives. His tone was firm. He had a brother living in Matto Grosso, but he--died, recently. How fortunate, thought Cosme. One Hundred Twenty-two 935 93 JEUJZHH There is a paper by his bedside on which the poor fellow wrote his will. He left me all his property adjoining my plantation. Five hundred acres of land, rich in cinchona trees. El Jefe looked at his finger-nails. Yes, Cosmef' he sighed, we have lost a friend but gained a fortune. Cosme's smile was grim. For months Nunego had refused to sell the coveted area to El Jefe. Five days ago he had come to the plantation as a guest. Suddenly he had died, leaving his host the land. You will attend to my friend's funeral, Cosme? It was El Jefe's usual way of asking if his servant would remain loyal. The overseer sighed. He was a lazy rascal with brains. l-lis salary was good and-one must live. Si, sef1or, he said without emotion. The days burned themselves away with a terrific heat. The work on the plantation increased with the addition of the new land. Every month the amount of quinine produced grew larger. The natives, driven on by dread of the singing whip, sweated and slaved for a man who would stop at nothing, and whom nothing could stop. Occasionally, a poor wretch, half dead from swinging lashes and crazed by a fierce hatred of his master, would rebel against El Jefe. The next evening, as if created by an evil wand, a fresh grave would appear in the little clearing behind the planter's hacienda. Wearied beyond reason by their long hours of toil, and terrified by the menacing shadow of their master's presence, the workers grew sullen and dangerous. One day, several weeks before the rainy season, the festering wound of the natives' resentment became murky with blood. El Jefe, on a tour of inspection, attacked an ancient worker because the wretched fellow was rest- ing. ln a violent frenzy he lashed the old man and left him, bloody and sweating, in the terrible heat of the forest, where he died a few hours later in frightful agonies. That night the whole plantation was seething with horror and wrath. Upon Cosmeis suggestion, El Jefe remained in his study, while a few of the loyal overseers guarded the h0Cl-Qfldfl. lt is best, ser'ior, said the white-faced servant, torn between his con- science and his stomach. Ah, yes, shrugged El jefe, but such a bore. These natives-bah! They are like children. I-lalf and hour later Cosme knocked softly and said, There is a gentleman without, senor, who seeks admittance to your presence. The planter sighed wearily. ult is late for a visitor, but l suppose l must see him. The door opened noiselessly and a young Spaniard stepped into the room. Buenas noches, seiiorf' he said softly. I beg a thousand pardons if I inconvenience you, but I have come all the way from Santo Corazon. My mules are weary to the point of exhaustion, and my guides are half dead from lack of sleep. It is miles to the next fortin where we may rest and refresh ourselves. Could we spend the night on your plantation? One Hundred Twentg-three BWHHQ. El Jefe glanced cautiously at Cosme who stood respectfully by the door. Of course, seiior, you are welcome, he murmured, assuming a cordiality he did not feel. Cosme, look after the seiior's companions and tell Eugenio to care for their mules. And bring us some mate, for l know the seiior is thirsty. Be seated, amigof' he nodded to the stranger when Cosme had left. Gracias, smiled the Spaniard, sitting opposite El jefe. You are hos- pitable, senor. More so, he added gravely, than the jungle. El Jefe raised his eyebrows. Ah, no, seior. To me, the jungle has always been most kind. The young man's mouth was white around the edges. Really? And has she been so to repay your kindness? No, seiior, l have not been kind to the jungle, the planter's sneer was complacent, cruel, I have conquered her! The Spaniard shuddered at the incredible savageness with which these words had been spoken, but a hard glint of hate shot from his black eyes. The jungle, continued El jefe, is like the wild, snarling jaguar, who does not respond to the caresses of a kind voice but only to the commands of a whip's sharp tongue. l have not made a friend of the jungle, seflorg l have made a slave of her. I have tamed her as one tames that same jaguar: l have broken her to my will as one breaks the match. His voice grew hoarse with fiendish exultation. 'il have beaten her, sefior, and she creeps, cringing, to my feet. I have blinded her eyes with blood, and she licks my hand with a golden tongue. The jungle may hate me, seiior, but she has made me rich. And why, may l ask, should I seek her friendship? El Jefe paused and glanced sharply at his guest. The young man's forehead was glistening with sweat and the knuckles of his clenched hands were purple. Senor! Are you ill? The Spaniard attempted a smile. uperdone me, sefior. It is nothing. The long trip--and this heatih Ah, you are thirsty, amigo, See, here is Cosme with the mate. Let us drink, sefior-to the jungle! The young man nodded grimly but he did not raise his cup. Si, sei'1or, his lips were dry, his voice dull, to the jungle. El ,Iefe frowned impatiently. Come, amigo! Drink! The Spaniard shook his head slowly. His eyes, fixed with a sort of horri- fied fascination on the older man's face, were the eyes of a fanatic. I refuse, seiorf' he said with deadly determination, to drink with a murderer! El Jefe's frown deepened. Who was this stranger, this mere boy with the staring black eyes? What did he know of the planter's affairs? .What did they mean to him? El Jefe's brain was working with lightning speed. Was he in the presence of a madman? Those eyes were burning into his soul with searing hate. Perhaps it would be best to keep his temper, to bring again a smile to those terrifying white lips. El Jefe tried to laugh pleasantly. Come, senor! This is no time to investigate my morals. You are tired, my young friend, and a good night's rest will do you good. You may pass the One Hundred Twenty-four 935 93 BWEINFJ night here and perhaps stay for several days. l trust you will not find me lacking in hospitality. No, senor. The Spaniard spoke so softly that El Jefe strained his ears to understand. The same hospitality you accorded Senor Nunego? Senor Nunego? El Jefe was incredulous. Then the fellow was not mad. And yet those eyes! . . . I do not know, he said stiffly, what you mean. Then, suggested the stranger with elaborate politeness, allow me to refresh your memory. Senor Nunego owned about five hundred acres of land which he repeatedly refused to sell to you. You wanted this land, senor, you wanted it very badly. And they tell me that you are used to getting what you want. So, upon the pretext of letting him know that you retained no ill will, you invited him to your plantation to partake of your hospitality. One beautiful morning he was found dead in his room. I do not know how you explained his death to the servants, senor, but I do know that whatever your explanation might have been, it was incorrect. May I tell you how Senor Nunego died? During this recital, the Spaniard's eyes had never left El jefe's face, which was twitching spasmodically. Now he rose and the older man instinctively stiffened. ul-le was poisoned, senor, continued the stranger in the same calm, level tone. He was poisoned by a gaucho' named Tomas, whom you paid well for his trouble. I understand that poor Nunego, not expecting to die so early in life, did not leave a will. l am sure he wanted his brother to have his property, not knowing that Tomas was also to journey to Matto Grosso .... The day after Nunego's death, you annexed the Hve hundred acres to your plantation. How simple for you, senor! No lawyers in this wild country to question your action, and the assurance that Nunego's brother would soon be unable to protest! El Jefe attempted to make his voice casual. An amusing tale, senor. But why should it concern you? Because, the young man's voice was intense with emotion, Ml am that brother! El Jefe, fascinated, stared at the speaker as if he were the devil himself. But, no! he stammered. It cannot be! You were-he was killed ! Hit is simple, the young man shrugged, evidently enjoying the planter's astonishment. You see, senor, I shot first! And he tenderly fingered the pistola at his side. There is only one law in Matto Grosso, senor, and that is the law of the bullet. We are all taught when still quite young to understand that law, not to fear it. And so, senor, he said modestly, 'il am an excellent shot. 60 you made your first mistake in imagining anyone could shoot me. El Jefe's breathing was heavy and fast, and his eyes were like those of a trapped animal. Your second mistake, senor, was in hiring Tomas to kill me after he had poisoned my brother. He confessed everything to me before he died. El Jefe made a last desperate attempt at nonchalance. ulndeec!! You forget, my dear young man, that you can prove none of your pretty story. One Hundred Twenty-five BWENH The Spaniard drew his pistola. And to whom must l prove it, sefxor? Did you, perchance, have the insolence to imagine that you would be given a trial? He laughed derisively. What about those poor brown devils you've been bullying for all these years? Were any of them ever given a trial? What about that wretched old man that you whipped to death this morning? He paused, then broke out passionately, What about my brother, the only person in the world who cared about me, was he given a trial? The young man's jaw tightened. I have proved to myself, senor, that you are guilty of a thousand sins. That is all that is necessary. Why, ser'ior, his black eyes glowed with an unearthly light, if you could see as I do, you would observe that this room is crowded with ghosts-ghosts of men who have died because of you. They are angry, sefior, they are demanding blood, and l intend to appease them! You forget about my workers-there are thousands of them. And Cosmef' a gleam of hope came into E.lJefe's now feverish eyes. Cosm6 and the overseers will not desert me! Cosme and the overseers have been warned by my companions that if they interfere and attempt to oppose our treatment of you, we shall kill them. Do you think, sneered the Spaniard, that they love you enough to risk their lives for you? As for the workers, he stepped to a window and opened it. A low, rumbling sound, like the growl of an angry beast, came to their ears. The young man closed the window and turned triumphantly. You see? At last the natives have united against you. They have gathered before your hacienda and are clamorous for your death. They are shouting iMU9fG al Jefef' You asked before if there was any reason why you needed the jungle's friendship. I-Ie nodded toward the window. Perhaps, seiior, that answers your question. And now, are you ready to go? Where am l going? asked El Jefe in the dull voice of the doomed. You are going to your jungle, seior, to the jungle that has always been most kind to you. You are going to that terrible mass of thickets and swamps, which will, no doubt, receive you with open arms. You are going where there are no trails, where it is forty miles between water holes, and where the air is black with heavy clouds of swarming insects called z'henr11'. You will not be troubled by bad dreams, seiior, for sleep is impossible. Now we shall see if the jungle is still your slave, if she still licks your hand with a golden tongue. My friends and I shall take you to the edge of your plantation and there we must leave you. I warn you, senor, you are no longer welcome here, and if you attempt to return, you will be shot like a dog. It is one hundred and fifty miles to San Juan, and you have the rest of your life to get there. You must take your chances with. the jungle, and l trust, seior, that you will not find her lacking in hospitality. A week later they found that the jungle had claimed its own.

The sun had sunk for the night over the hills, and darkness was creeping around me from all sides. The noisy, highly colored birds, the parrakeets, caiman, guana-guanare birds, and the pateo reals, had stopped their chatter for the night, and soon the jaguars and other jungle cats would begin their nightly quest for food. I was alone in all this vast expanse of quiet and peace. At least, that was my belief. I had no illusions about the peace, however. That morning I had not been alone. I had been accompanied by another human being, my guide, one of the Maquiritare Indians, whom I had hired to lead me up the Rio Usumatica. I had known him for only a few days, but he was company, and I missed him. What made it worse was the fact that he was dead, murdered! I was only a would-be archeologist, just out of college, looking for an ancient ruins, rumored to be in this vicinity. The most important question was whether the ruins were Aztec, Toltec, or of one of the later tribes. The importance of the discovery of-but that does not concern this story. I had financed my own expedition in the hope of winning recognition for my work. Because I had little faith in those hollow logs that the Indians call canoes, I had brought my own canoe from the States. The equipment had been light enough to ride in an eighteen foot canoe that was already carrying two people. After coming down from Mexico City by train from Puerto, Mexico, where I put in the Rio Coatzacoalcos, the trip was entirely by water. After a paddle of about sixty miles, we had come to the mouth of the Rio Upanapa. About a hundred miles up the Upanapa, we had found the Usumatica. Several days later, we found our city. It all sounds easy on paper, but that journey meant a week of hard, heartrending work, paddling all day in a broiling sun, while we were driven nearly insane by the insects and the heat. Many a time when we came to a particularly hard portage, I almost despaired. But we did reach our goal. My guide, Chico, had to be persuaded to approach the place, for the natives held the ruins in superstitious dread. Chico was a little better educated than most of them, but even he had his qualms, and evidently not without justification. Our first day there was uneventful. The city was one of the outposts of the Aztecs, far down in the jungle, and contained little of interest. I was able to complete most of my observations in six or seven hours. The next morning I spent in further research, without much reward, while Chico went hunting. I-Ie brought back a small deer, of a variety that I did not know, but which furnished an excellent dinner. Late in the afternoon came the first note of danger. An arrow flew through the air and stuck in a tree beside me. I was very much startled, naturally, and looked around hurriedly. Not a bush moved. Chico begged me to get out. I-Ie was no One Hundred Twenty-eight 935 935 BWZINH longer afraid of legends and myths about the place, but of much more tangible dangers. I-le said that the Indians in this region had seen very few white men, and that they had been taught to hate all of them. I-Ie said that the next time they would kill us. I was unacquainted with the jungle, and did not believe him, but I consented to go. A My work was just about completed anyway, and that arrow was menacing. But we were too late. Before we could leave, another arrow came out of the jungle, and Chico fell, dead. Immediately I fired into the brush and was rewarded by a violent commotion. But my shot had not done any damage to the invisible enemy except to frighten them away. There was nothing I could do for Chico but to bury him. Then I got under way as fast as I could, taking the equipment with me. I was heading downstream, and I made good time, inspired by thoughts of that arrow. , ' A It was in the dark of the moon, and the only light was furnished by the stars. All that I could see were the stars above, friendly and twinkling, the dark bulk of the trees on either side of me, and the faint reflection of the lighter sky on the water ahead of me. By keeping in the center of that light patch, I could steer clear of all obstacles, and keep the canoe in safety. By paddling' all night, I could put myself in a safe position, free from any pursuit that might exist. I did not believe that I would be molested any more, but the empty seat ahead of me was a grim reminder that I was not entirely safe. In the fast few minutes of daylight, I was made aware of this fact. An arrow came out of the jungle on my right, and splashed into the water a little behind me. Then another from the left. I was surrounded! In thinking it over later, I decided that in coming to the city, I had violated some religious belief of the savages, and, in accordance with their customs, I would have to die. My gun had frightened them temporarily, but as soon as they realized its limitations, I was doomed. I was safer for the time being because it was too dark for them to aim, and soon it would be too dark for them to see me at all. All that I could do was to paddle and pray for the best. I had no chance in the jungle. Even if I could evade their trained woodsmen, I would have the jungle to contend with. If I escaped the jaguars, and the peccaries, the wild pigs of the jungle, I would probably be driven mad by the ticks, the pinilius, and the garrapatoes. The country was overrun with them, and without the proper protection, I would be lost. With thoughts such as these, I passed most of the night. Occasionally my paddle would splash, and an arrow would whiz near me and splash in the water, a grim reminder of what was in store for me. Unless something happened before morning, my earthly existence was soon to be terminated. With a good light, it would be a simple matter for one of those Indians to put an arrow through me. I had watched other tribes hunt. Their aim was deadly up to fifty yards---and the Usumatica was a narrow river. One Hundred Twentyfnine BVJZINE The whole thing was unbelievable and seemed fantastic. l couldn't con- ceive of such a thing happening to me, and yet it was. It may have seemed unreal during the night, but about two o'clock a new note entered the situation, that ended the unreality, and brought matters to a head. l heard a low, powerful rumbling down the river. The sound filled me with both hope and dread. It was the Raduale de Vichades. Coming up we had portaged at least three miles over the rockiest possible path. It had seemed to me to be at least ten miles. But after one look at those rapids, l had no idea of paddling up, and had made a mental note of the fact that we would certainly portage again coming back down, even if we did nearly break our necks covering that three miles of torture. The water ran between two high cliffs for a distance of about a quarter of a mile. The canyon was so narrow that I could have jumped across it at the topg it was no wider at the bottom. It curved tortuously, the force of the current dashing against the wall of the canyon at each turn, sending clouds of spray and mist into the air. And to make matters worse, I was sure that I had seen rocks through that mist. - The outlook was not very pleasant. If l turned to the shore to avoid the rapids, I would be at the mercy of the savages. If I tried to shoot the rapids in the dark, l was certain that I wouldn't have a chance. And yet, if I could get through, I would be free. l was sure that this barrier marked the extent of the savages' domaing and even if they followed me further, by the time that they had covered that portage, l would have a start that they could never overcome. It was six of one, and a half a dozen of the other, but I had a faint chance in the rapids. Therefore, I blessed the portage that I had cursed vigorously only a few days before. As the canoe glided down the river, propelled by the quickening current, I tried to form a plan. I was glad to have my own canoe for this job. l knew it, and it gave me confidence. The roar of the water pounding against the walls of its prison was growing deafening. It seemed to fill all the world, to the exclusion of all else. It was the enemy to be faced. I had to contend with it and wrest victory from between its narrow walls. The river was narrowing now, and the banks on either side were rising. There was the entrance to the portage. l thought of pulling in and abandoning the canoe: but before l could turn the boat, the current had pulled me past the spot, and was drawing me into the midst of that crashing and pounding of water, where no man could live. But I had to live! The walls had closed in on me now, and I could see only a narrow strip of sky over my head. My plan was to follow that, trying to keep off the walls, and trusting to luck and to God to steer me clear of the rocks. I felt that I had little to do. This was a battle of the elements, with my life as the stake. I felt like a bystander. And yet, I had to dominate these elements, and win my freedom and life. One Hundred Thirty 93 935 BWEIHH There was little that I could really do. I kept enough forward momentum to enable me to control the boat. If I hit anything, the added speed would not be noticed anyway. The twisting of the ribbon of stars above me warned me of a bend in the course of the rapids. I turned the canoe blindly as I shot into a denser cloud of spray. A huge boulder arose out of the mist to my right and vanished in the rear. My hands grew clammy. If l had hit that, it would be all over! And there would be more ahead! The spray had blinded me, and just as I shook the water out of my eyes, I saw another sharp bend ahead. This time I went through without mishap, except that I was wetter than before. As it raced down the next straight stretch, the canoe tipped suddenly and violently to one side! My heart leaped into my mouth. It had hit the smooth top of a submerged rock! If that had been sharp--but I had no time to think of possible consequences, for the ribbon of stars, fainter because of the spray, showed another sharp bend ahead. I tried my best to turn the boat, but the grip of the current was too strong for me. ln an instant the canoe shot toward the imposing wall of stone towering above. The current bore the frail craft with it, around the bend, close to the wall. As it rounded the bend, the canoe tipped again, and I was Hung against the wall. So great was the speed, that l was almost thrown from the canoe by the violence of the shock. The boat bounced on the choppy waves, and tipped from side to side, threatening to capsize at any moment. But it did not. And I was through! Ahead, the canyon widened, and trees came into view again. My hands shook so that I could hardly hold the paddle to guide the canoe down that last stretch. When the water stopped its mad rush and became the slow- moving river again, and the roaring horrors of that mele had fallen behind, I dropped down into the bottom of the boat and wept. The river that had tried to take my life, now whispered in my ear that I was safe again, and the calm of the night seemed to enfold all the world.

Kent Astor and his three companions, Harris McKenzie, Jack Stoddard, and lvan Mazurka were members of Commander Byrd's expedition exploring that vast and barren wilderness, the South Polar region. The three had been walking for the better part of a day and their dogged pace gave evidence of the fact. Their destination was the base of the expeditiong their hearts warmed at the thought of the fires and the warm food awaiting them upon their arrival. Kent and McKenzie had been sent out early in the day by their commander to meet Stoddard and the Russian, Mazurka, both of whom were advance members of the relief party. The first mentioned pair was joined by the latter slightly after noon, and by the time the four had eaten of the dried beef and bread which formed their meal, Kent's watch showed the time to be well past noon. Realizing the long journey ahead, Kent urged his companions on, for night travel was no simple matter. No time to lose, fellows, Kent reminded them. We've been pretty long on this trip. Besides, the sky looks anything but promising, he said, gazing somewhat doubtfully at the somber clouds overhead. Right you are, Astor, affirmed the Englishman, McKenzie. I, for one, have no desire to run into any squall at this time of the day. Too dangerous, you know. At first their progress was rapid, but, walking over the solid ice that afforded none too good footing, they gradually wearied until it required every ounce of will power in the four to keep up the steady pace necessary to reach the expedition base by daylight. A steady snowfall which had commenced early in the afternoon added to their difficulty. This continued until about five o'clock, when, with the coming of the night, it developed into a blizzard. The four could see nothing ahead, and the fierce wind made forward motion nearly impossible. The sharp, stinging pieces of ice lashed the faces of the stalwart men who huddled together in a compact group to decide further action. The most important thing, they knew, was to remain together, for separation would mean death. Likewise they knew that almost as important as staying together was move- ment, for the first symptom of death by freezing is a tired, sleepy feeling, accompanied by an overwhelming desire to give up and fall to the ground. Their salvation lay in constant action, therefore, they remained stationary for but a few moments and continued to push forward in the direction they believed to be the right one. Kent's sense of direction, like that of his companions, was of no practical use in the driving blizzard. One Hundred Thirty-three EWZNH Ulf only the blessed thing would let up just a little, Kent managed to say. I knew we should have started a little sooner this afternoon -he checked his conversation abruptly as though suddenly remembering something very important. l..et's get moving, he exclaimed. We'll freeze to death if we stand here much longer. At any rate there's one consolation, this c.an't get any worse, Kent remarked ironically. The quartet proceeded against the tremendous odds of the elements in utter blindness. The better part of an hour passed, and still no camp could be detected. Kent was familiar enough with the position at which he had called a halt to know that they should have arrived at their goal despite con- ditions. After a few hundred yards of trudging he realized the hopelessness of their efforts and called a halt. Looking around him despairingly, he realized, too, the human impossibility of anyone's surviving long in such an icy tempest. Only Mazurka showed no ill effects of the journey, but the others were plainly and dangerously fatigued. lt's no use, fellows, their commander shouted, trying to be heard over the noise of the wind. We can't go on like this. Maybe if we separated in two groups, one of us might sight the base and come out with aid to the other, Mazurka volunteered. No, replied Kent decisively. iiweire not close enough to it. Besides, if one of us should lose consciousness, we don't want to leave him out here in this. No, we can't do that, replied McKenzie. Our only chance is to stick this thing out and hope the beastly storm will let up soon. During the latter conversation Kent wondered, almost desperately, how to bring his comrades safely to camp. His thought was brought to a sudden end with the collapse of Stoddard to the ground. The giant Russian lifted the figure in his arms with seeming ease, but now the party was worse off than before, for, besides Mazurka's added handicap, Kent himself began to feel drowsy, so drowsy that he ached to lie down. Next morning the sun shone with amazing brilliance. Several forms could be seen advancing from the direction of the base, lvan Mazurka, sad beyond words, was the leader. The party proceeded by means of pick and shovel to dig a single cavity in the earth, one large enough to hold the bodies of his three former companions, Kent, McKenzie, and Stoddard, who had perished during the awful night. Mazurka himself had been nearly spent when he staggered into camp. A small wooden cross was erected at the head of the grave. Then, slowly and solemnly, the men began their trek back to the expedition base. BRUCE BOHLE Term 7 One Hundred Thirty-four 9 Eklglxlm UNCHARTERED It kissed all the blossoms of fairest white, I worshipped in ecstacyg But it flattered its wings in wavering flight, And danced away from me. So my butterfly soared on a path through the clouds, Where the swirling stars are tossed, And flew to a land, A dim, misty land, Of sunsets that are lost. Where is the faith that we knew in our childhood ? Where have the dear, dreamy lullabies fled ? Where is the ripple of yesterday's laughter? Sealed by the prison-like lips of the dead. So my dreams have been blown by a uagabond wind, On the path that the butterfly crossed 5 They have sailed to a land, A vague, tllmy land Of sunsets that are lost. Where has the fragrance of withered flow'rs drifted ? Torn from the fast-fading blossoms too soon? Up to the beckoning skies it was lifted- Haunting the ghost-gardens up in the moon. When my soul floats free, Let my spirit flee To that path where stars are tossed: By my glad release I shall find my peace-- And my sunsets that were lost. -Audrey Thyson Term 8 -mlm! Li' - t 3 li,,1 , ,la . One Hundred Thirty-flue BWZHH WHEN IGNORANCE IS BLISS-- I UD, soft red mud that is so characteristic in some parts of the Ozarks on a rainy day! And a rainy day it was, indeed. A slow drizzle was falling, and forming a misty curtain which dimmed the rounded outline of the distant hills. On every side were hills: tall hills, short hills, wide hills, slim hills, all green with scrub-oak and underbrush. Nearby on a small patch of rocky ground were a few corn stalks. ln a pasture which that morning had been gay with grasses, buttercups, and hawkweed, with foam of Queen Anne's lace flung lightly between, a cow stood defectedly beneath one of the dripping trees. A rail fence sagged crazily along one side of the road. A sparrow was perched on one of the rails, with his head drawn beneath his wet little wing. ln the center of the road a stream of muddy water was swirling and curling like a miniature whirlpool. Mrs. Turner peered disgustedly through the water-streaked glass of the Packard in which she was sitting, and sighed wearily, Albert, just because we are mired in the mud is no reason for your brain to stop working. You simply must think of a way to get us out of here before Pogo catches cold. With this she lifted the impudent-looking Pekinese from the seat beside her and placed him none too gently into her lap. My dear, can't you see it is impossible to get out of this mud? answered her discouraged husband. The car will have to stay here till the mud dries up a bit. But, Albert, replied his wife in consternation, it's almost dark now, and we simply can't stay here all night. Oh! how can a man be so simple? Mr. Turner, poring over a road map, ignored her last remark and suddenly exclaimed, According to this map there's a crossroads store about two miles away, so I guess we can get shelter there. We will have to walk, Anna, so you and Pogo get ready for the longest and muddiest walk you have ever taken. Mrs. Turner protested vigorously but soon realized the suggestion was the only way out and prepared to venture forth into the mud in search of the store. The Rocky Hollow Store was typical of the Ozark backwoods. It was a small, weather-beaten shack, worn gray by the passing years. A porch extended across the front, the Hoor of which sagged at one corner. From the roof of the building hung an ancient sign proclaiming Rocky Hollow Store. ln the living room behind the store proper were Uncle Zeke Mathews and his wife Elmira. The room was lighted by an old oil lamp. Mrs. Mathews, a woman whose careworn face told a life time of patient toil was knitting, Uncle Zeke was sitting nearby on an ancient sofa. On the shelves of an old cabinet in the room were a group of pebbles, feature post cards, One Hundred Thirty-six 9 935 EWZNH and pressed flowers. On the wall hung several pictures all similar in gaudy cheapness except one, a faded one of a railroad scene. The scene was that of a train climbing a steep hill, belching smoke and looking like a mad dragon. The Mathews were seriously discussing a coming party at the nearest town, Sand Hollow, near the county seat. Well, Elmira, said Zeke, looking up over the edge of the paper he was reading, uthe weather ainit been powerful fit t'day, but l 'low as to how hit'll clear up in time for we'uns ti go t' thet party Sattiday night. Wall, Zeke, hesitated Elmira, H 'Pears like it don't matter a heap sight, 'cus l hain't agoin' to hit, nowhow. Zeke looked at her aghast. Wa'll, l--! he began, iiwhy, Elmira, you ain't aimin' to t' miss th' party, now air ye? Wall, Zeke, 'pears like hit. I-litis like this, l ainit got ary a dress t' wear 'cept that black calico whut everybody's seen me a-wearin' fer nigh onto five years, an' l 'low l ain't goin t' another party with hit on. To all outward appearances Mrs. Mathews was natural but within her was surging a fierce resentment. For five years--five long years-she had been wearing that same old black calico to every gathering she and Zeke had attended. l-ler friends had appeared in new calicos. She had always longed for a new print, a blue print, but money was scarce for business was poor: and as Zeke was growing older, it was getting harder for him to coax the yearly crop from the rocky soil. Oh, wall, thought Elmira, Umebbe next year. Steps sounded on the porch, Uncle Zeke arose slowly and sighed. Mrs. Mathews followed her husband into the store where two very bedraggled figures met their gaze. Mrs. Turner stood shivering, holding in her arms a very restless Pogo. Law sakes! Enter an' set, strangers, Elmira welcomed them, Hyouins look all tuckered out. We're so Very sorry to have to bother you like this, Mrs. Turner replied, 'ibut our car is mud-bound down the roadg and, as it is getting dark, we tho't we could get food and shelter here. You see we-- Why, interrupted Zeke, We'ens 'ud be proud t' help ye. At the Mathews' bidding, Mr. and Mrs. Turner went into the living room to rest and dry themselves. Mrs. Turner gasped as she entered the room. Such a room, such furniture! She at once saw the charm of the quaint old room. To the devoted member of the Antique Lover's Club with a mind so full of value and love of old things, this room was a gem. As she glanced about the room, her eyes fell upon the railroad scene. How interesting! she exclaimed, The frame is lovely and-. lt's a real Currier and Ives, she added to herself. V One Hundred Thirty-seven EBWEHFJ Mrs. Mathews walked to her side and laughed softly, lt's a ol' pitcher my gramma toted here from Kentucky. Didn't the woman know its real value? Would she possibly be willing to sell it? Questions like these Hashed through Mrs. Turner's mind. She must have that picture. It was only fair that it be hers, she knew its real value, and the mountain woman might destroy it at any time. But, the question was, how to get it without arousing the woman's suspicion? Two or three times during the evening Mrs. Tunrner had tried to get enough courage to bring the picture into the conversation. lt was not until Zeke suggested that they take to the bed that Mrs. Turner realized that now was her chance, so she ventured to say, l know you must think l am queer, but I wonder if you'd sell that picture for say-ten dollars. Ten dollars! ln her mind Elmira saw herself in a new blue dress. What happiness! V Why, shore, we'll sell hit, won't we, Zeke? The following morning broke warm and sunny: the mud was drying and the flowers were again raising their heads to the sunshine. The Turners were driving homeward. Albert, you don't know how lucky I am to get that picture. Why, in the city it's worth at least two hundred dollarsg I am afraid that is why my conscience hurt when l think how l took so much money from those poor people. Don't worry, my dear, replied her husband, as the old saying goes, 'Ignorance is bliss'. Mr. and Mrs. Mathews, standing on the porch of the store, waved goodbye to the Turners. Elmira clenched the ten dollar bill in her right hand and sighed happily. Zeke, guess we'ens kin go t' th' party after all. But my conscience ain't a feelin' powerful smart, Zeke, 'cus I knowed all the time it was a sin to take this money, but it just seemed I couldn't help it, Zeke. Did ye' see the way she grabbed that ol' pitcher? 'Twan't no good, and my Gramma Pekes 'ud turn over in her grave if she knowed I took that much money for it. Huh, snorted Zeke, clon't you feel bad, Elmira: what them city folks ain't got the brains t' know ain't a-goin t' hurt em no how. PARTRICIA MANSFIELD Term 4 One Hundred Thirty-eight 1 93 93 EWZIHH SKYLI GH T Life to me is just a drudge, A hopeless, heavy thing. I'm just a weary, tired fellow, Hating life, but still I cling. I'm working, working all day long. And when my toil is thru, I stumble to my attic room, To gather strength anew. In all this futile, tragic mess, That mortals know as life, I'Ue only one small beacon clearg One island free from strife. That little patch of blue aboueg That sweet, fresh breath of airg That tiny skylight up aboueg It soothes away my care. At night it's softest, gentlest black, Aglow with points of gold, And then it breathes its breath on meg A breath all fresh and cold. And then at dawn it makes a door, To let the sun come in. Its cheery warmth delights my soul. I'm filled with hope again. But then my toil again begins. I lose my hopes once more. In the drab and smoky factory world Life's just a hideous bore. I fear this life. . . but I shall not a'ie. One thing still holds me here. One gracious thing in all this world, My skylight conquers fear. -lVIarcia Koerner Term 8 A One Hundred Thirty-nine IEWENE One Hundred Forty STARS While lying in a grassy dell One lovely summer night, I saw the stars,-bright, glistening wells Of distant twinkling light. They had no outline, shape. or form. Away in distant skies, But distance could not dull their charmsg I gazed with longing eyes. And so it is with man's desires And aspirations great, We fix our eyes on distant tires And hope for help from Fate. Alas, we sit and fold our hands, And waste our time in dreams, Fate never heeds mere man's demands: She has her own wise schemes. And thus we wait, and help comes not: We watch our dreams decay. Our filmy plans soon shrink and rot. Were stars too far away? What can we do? we weakly cryg Where is the road to Fame? Ulf you would win then you must try, Our stronger self proclaims. Great' things are never built by dreams, While we the labor shirk. Great things, we find, strange as it seems, Are built by lowly work.

The auditorium is packed as the lights go out and the curtains part on Act One of lt Pays to Advertise . Cyrus Martin, a millionaire controlling all of the soap industry except lvory, is trying to get his son, Rodney, to work. With the help of his secretary, who forces him to pay her a huge salary and a bonus, he manages to get his son started. Meanwhile, Rodney has met Ambrose Peale, a high pressure salesman. The two, together with Mary Grayson, the secretary, form their own soap company. They call it ul 3 Soap, uUnlucky for Dirt . Countess de Bourien tries to see Cyrus Martin, but meets his son instead. Martin's urging of his son is due to a bet he made with an old friend of his, Mr. Clark, head of the lvory Soap Company. Each father had been sure his son could earn the most money in a year. The new soap company advertises high, wide, and handsomeng but when the first order does come, they have no soap to sell nor money with which to buy soap. Rodney's father thinks that the business is really flourish- ing and almost buys them out, but Mary spoils the matter by telling him the true state of affairs. ln the meantime, the Countess reappears with a check to buy a share in the company. The three friends think this is a gift from Heaven, but they cannot cash the check, which is for 55000.00 more than the share is to cost. When the Countess finds out that they have no money, she reveals herself to them. So in their minds their business is a failure. But young Clark had not fared well either. A large order is received from Marshall Field of Chicago. At their wit's end to fill the order, they send some of the father's three-cent soap to Chicago where it is sold for a dollar a bar under the name of ul 3 Soap. But matters are again complicated when Rodney's father refuses to sell them enough soap to complete the order. Many more problems arise, but every- thing is finally adjusted. Rodney and Mary are betrothed, his father Wins his bet, and everybody is happy with the exception of the Countess, who is deprived of her spoils. The sweethearts, Marjorie Lewitz and Harry Beltzig, played their parts well. Robert Wortmann grumbled through the part of the father in a humorous manner. l-lerman Waldman's portrayal of Ambrose Peale was excellent. His antics forced the audience to laugh until the tears came. Barbara Schaefer, the French-speaking countess, was very good. Wenzel Smith, George Schulte, Don Lorenz, Walter Emes, William Brookes, Bobbie Linder, and Betty l-losey-all contributed toward making the play a success. Of course, most of this success was due to Miss Duffetfs excellent coaching. One Hundred Fifty VT 93 IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE SENIOR PLAY One Hundred Fifty-one BUJENH SPEECH CORRECTION X MONG the advantages which the St. Louis Public Schools offer pupils ci? ki: today is the opportunity to have corrective work in speech for the twgflx boy or girl who has a speech difficulty. The teacher in charge, Miss Woldstad, comes to Roosevelt twice a week: all pupils who have any defect in speech may go to her for help. Among the types of defects which come to her for correction are sounds wrongly made, such as the th for the s which is commonly called the lisp, the d for the th or the y for the I. Oral inactivity is the attempt to talk behind closed teeth, as many high school students do. Other problems are developing speech sounds with the partially deaf and the cleft-palate child, working with the boy or girl who stutters or the one who is afraid to recite. and developing placement for hoarse or highly pitched voices. Miss Woldstad believes that a study of a speech difficulty is the study of the whole personality of the child. She first tries to instill self-confidence into her pupils. Good health, she says, is the most important factor in building up self-confidence: and green vegetables, sleep, and outdoor sports are the most important factors in building up good health. When a beginner goes into her class, she likes to know all about him and then tries to analyze his speech difficulty. Sometimes she gives him exercises with vowels and consonants to pronounce in front of a mirror every night. The idea of the mirror is to watch the muscles of the lips and palate move as one makes the sound. She frequently gives a beginner nursery rhymes to work on and emphasizes the fact that he must enunciate the complete word instead of dropping the endings and slurring over the vowels as many do. Exaggerated enunciation in practice by oneself often helps to correct poor articulation. Rhythm is another point for which a beginner must work. The poems assigned him to work on must be given with a swing to them to convey the smoothness and the beauty in the lines. Some students soon graduate from the nursery rhymes and begin to read aloud every night or to learn simple poems. This, too, is done in front of a mirror, all the time over enunciatingn the work. Reading aloud is very helpful, for when one reads to another, he is more careful of his pronunciation than if he were reading to himself. Other students are taught how to project their voice tones. This is important for unless a person can make people understand him, he is handi- capped all through life. Talking loudly is not projecting the voiceg the two are altogether different. Talking loudly is coarse and unpleasant, but pro- jecting the voice carries it throughout the room, even though the tones may be low. The most important part of any speech training, Miss Woldstad says, is the learning to understand ourselvesg to be able to control our fears, our anxieties, our angers, and even our joys. One Hundred Fifty-two HARRIET JARRETT 935 935 13803153 SIGHT CONSERVATION WORK AT ROOSEVELT THE fall term of 1934 a type of special education called Sight Conservation was brought to Roosevelt High. This class had been started at Cleveland High School in January, l930, with three pupils. Miss Rieliing, the present advisor, was given charge of these pupils, and, in the course of two and one-half years, the class had become large enough to be considered a separate advisory group. This was in September, l932. Since this was the only high school Sight Saving group in the city, pupils from all districts attended. ln September, I934, the Board of Education decided to transfer this class to Roosevelt High because it is more centrally located and also because it has the ninth grade, which some of the other high schools no longer have. The room which this class occupies is especially equipped to help the students who have impaired vision. These pupils go to various parts of the building for their regular classes and come to this room only for advisory and study periods. One of the most interesting features in the room is the typewriters. There are five which print the regular size type and three which print letters about one-half inch high. Several books are printed in this large type, so that the student can read them without straining his eyes. Special shades of paper that are particularly restful to the eyes are used in these books. All of the pupils are taught to type by the touch system, which enables them to save their eyes a great deal. There are several brightly colored and enlarged paper maps on the walls and also many vivid relief maps. There are inter- esting exhibits of grain, sugar cane, birds, and so on. The lights in this room are especially strong, and the desks are arranged so that the most benefit can be obtained from the natural light. Since the pupils spend a large part of their time in this one room, the atmosphere is made pleasing by numerous potted plants and cut flowers. Through this work another means by which pupils may obtain service has developed. Any pupil who has satisfactory grades and who wishes to give some of his study periods may volunteer to be a helper. Each helper usually works with the same person throughout the term. The helper reads to the pupil, fills in work books, colors work book maps, and, if he is sufficiently advanced in a subject, he acts as a tutor. Helpers who have had stenography and typewriting are especially desirable. They copy tests and work books on the large typewriter and also help to teach the student to type. Books which can be spared from the school library are kept in this room in order to be easily accessible for references and to enable the helpers to read them to the pupil. These helpers are regarded with respect by the pupils whom they assist and are well-informed about everything in the room. Twice a month the helpers meet with Miss Riefling to discuss any problems which confront them. All Rooseveltians should be proud to have this very interesting and necessary work undertaken at their school. ORTRUDE SCHNAEDELBACH One Hundred Fifty-three ERUZINE OUR SCHOOL LIBRARY WONDER if we all realize what a truly interesting place our library is. For instance, do you know that it will seat l00 pupils? That between September, l933, and May, l934, almost 20,000 pupils were sent to the library during school hours? That l0,287 books were issued for home use? That at the end of the 1934 school year there were 6,710 books in the library? That the library subscribes for twenty-five magazines? It may also interest you to know something about the arrangement of the books. They are all grouped according to their subject-matter and then alphabetically arranged according to the author's surname. All of the shelves have alphabetical letters and also numbers. The girls who assist Miss Bowman must learn where and how to find any book desired. ln the inside cover of each book may be found the letter and number of the shelf on which the book belongs. This system helps the girls to return the books to their correct places. Pupils seeking references-perhaps for a report in some history class or an essay for a class in Advanced Composition-often go to the library with a very hazy idea of the place to look for these references. A few classes have come to the library in a body, and Miss Bowman has been kind enough to give them talks on aids to the use of the library, others will find the follow- ing information helpful. Back of Miss Bowman's desk is the Card Catalogue. Here each book in the library is alphabetized on three different cards, under three different headings: title of book, author's name, and subject matter. Thus one may seek his book under its title, author's name, or the subject matter. The Readers' Guide is another source of references with which few of us are acquainted. It is a bibliography of magazine articles and is issued monthly to keep in step with current magazines. Articles are listed under title, author's name, and subject. The name, date, and volume number of the magazine in which the article appeared is given. Here can be found references for up-to-date matter such as one might need for a report on some current political situations. If one becomes stumped in spite of these library aicls, Miss Bowman can always be relied upon to come to one's rescue. The library may seem to be a very staid, severe place. its name suggests that. But it has a lighter side. ln the spring, the large windows are opened, and the room is filled with soft breezes and bits of melody drift clown from some chorus class. You should certainly make it a point to go and see for yourself what an interesting place the library is. MARCIA KOERNER One Hundred Fifry-four 93 ROOSEVELT AT LBRARY C In VU T. C 3 Q. 'Y VU Q.

The audience is waiting for the speakers to begin their orationsg Mr. Koenig, of Washington University, raps for order. The audience grows silent. Prominent in the Roosevelt delegation are lVlr. Ammerman, Mr. Rush, and Miss Battle. On the platform, waiting to speak, we see our representatives, Mildred Auer and Northcutt Coil. We are expecting great things of them. They represent the best Roosevelt has to offer in the way of orators, but they are competing against the best that all the other schools in the city have to offer. Mr. Coil's subject is The Trend of Democracy in American: and Miss Auer's, The Way to Govern . The contest is over. The audience waits tensely while the chairman reads the decision. The results are: for the boys, first place goes to Fred Haffner of Beaumontg for the girls, to Helen Reller of Central. As we Watch the happy winners receive their cups, We reflect that Roosevelt still has a chance to win the cup permanently, for in the three years that the cup has been in competition, no school has won it more than once.

This championship drive started December 7, 1933, and ended April 13, I934. Our squad lost only two out of ten debates. ln State Competition we tied with Soldan to represent this district, but we were defeated by our West End rivals. The debate question was, Resolved that the United States should adopt the essential features of the British Broadcasting Corporation. The school may look forward to another good team next year, as Eugene Blackwell, Northcutt Coil, and Robert Bard will again be out for debate. The squad lost Walter Emes, William Leue, and Richard Schulherr through graduation.

These boys were tanned by the wind and the sun to a rich brown. Their muscles were hard, and Grey carried themselves with their chins up, ready to face the world. They wore the brown uniforms of the army type. l was fortunate in being one of these boys. Arriving this last summer, eager and expectant, I took my entrance examinations, was issued my uniforms, assigned to a tent, and soon began the life of a C. M. T. C. student. The mornings were devoted to work consisting of policing the camp, exercising, and drilling. Some days we did not go to the drill field because it rained or we went to the range. The afternoons were devoted to playing games, such as basketball, soft ball, baseball, track, swimming, and bunk fatigue. In the evenings we were entertained by boxing and wrestling matches or dances. K. P. duty required twelve-hour services, while that of a guard required tw-enty-four hours. While performing these duties, a boy was not allowed to leave the premises. Four boys from Roosevelt attended this campg each one had different experiences, but all were well repaid for their efforts. Those who attend in the future will find a new, strange world to conquer. CHARLES LEWIS One Hundred Sixty-two 935 BWZIHE A PRIZE-WINNING POSTER IN THE CLEAN-UP CAMPAIGN At an auditorium session held on May l8, I934, Vernon Paul, a pupil of Roosevelt High School, was presented with a silver plaque by Mr. A.

One of the chief criticisms of travelers through the Middle West in the past has been the lack of shrines, historical and literary. Now, the old home of Eugene Field is to become a Mecca for this poet's admirers. Eugene Field was born in St. Louis in a house located at what was then known as 28 Collins Street. Later it was used as a boiler factory and then as a railroad freight office U07 Franklin Avenuel. On a visit to this city Field once pointed out 634 South Broadway Cthen known as 634 South Fifth Streetj, a childhood home, as his birthplace. This may have been just a mistake, as Field was very young when the family changed resi- dences. On the other hand, it was very likely a practical joke, for such a one would have delighted his sense of humor which was little tempered with charity. At any rate, a tablet was unveiled in i902 at the South Broadway address to mark the birthplace of Field, and it was many years before it was proved that this was not the real birthplace of the poet. Eugene Field lived in the Broadway home only about five years. The family moved there soon after his birth, and, on the early death of Mrs. Field, the father sent 'Gene and his brother to live with their cousin at Amherst, Massa- chusetts. This old home of the Field family is now owned by the Board of Education of St. Louis. ln the past, taxes have been so heavy that several times pressure has been brought to bear to wreck the building to make way for more lucrative enter- prises. ln 1925 Con P. Curran, the lessee, wished to wreck the Field home and surrounding buildings to make way for a warehouse. However, it was saved by a corporation headed by John F. Storm and Albert St. Clair, the latter a former newspaper friend of Field's. Early in 1934 Curran again wished to have the building razed, this time to avoid taxes, and to convert the space into a parking lot. This time the Poet Laureate League of America offered to pay taxes on the building to preserve it until its purchase could be arranged. One Hundred Sixty-six 935 BVJHNH The St. Louis Board of Education cancelled Curran's lease, and accepted the offer made by Jesse P. Henry and Carl P. Daniel. Under their direction the exterior was repaired and renovated. ln November, l934, Dr. Gerling, Superintendent of Instruction of the St. Louis Public Schools, suggested the establishment of a Field Memorial Fund. Pupils in all of the public schools gladly donated their pennies to pay for the restoration of the interior of the house and the establishment of a garden. The money contributed has given thechildren a sense of ownership in the poet's house which will lead to greater interest on their part. The fund will be distributed by a committee consisting of Jesse P. Henry, chairmang Dr. Gerlingg lVlcCune Gill, local historian, and Meyric R. Rogers, director of the City Art Museum. Mr. Henry plans to obtain the gift or loan of furnishings typical of Field's time to complete the restoration of the home. When it is finished, the Field Memorial willibe a place of which all St. Louisans may well be proud. GRACE LEE JONES A STORY ABOUT OUR SCHOOL lf any of you students of Roosevelt happen to' be in the school some clark night and see a few ghosts walking the halls, do not be alarmed. They will not harm you. They only wish to haunt the school. Why? Because the ground upon which our school is built used to be a graveyard. lmagine how these ghosts must have felt when, one morning bright and early. just as they were going to sleep after a night of particularly successful haunting, they were rudely awakened by an army of men with trucks and steamshovels who started to dig up the graves for removal of the dead to less desirable surroundings. ln i906 the block on which our school now stands was a graveyard. ln 1907 it was condemned. Fifteen years later Roosevelt High was built. So it goes-education must go on. Even the dead cannot rest peacefully in their graves if they are interfering with the progress of education. The moral of this story is: Be sure to learn your lessons so well every day that you will not fail in any subject, or else these ghosts of the past may haunt you.

When new business is brought up, it is referred to one of these committees which investi- gates the matter and again brings it before the Council in the form of a report. The following business was completed last term in the council: THE ATHLETIC COMMITTEE.-This committee carried out a successful football season, the total sales of tickets reaching l020. The plan of having girl cheer leaders at the games was followed. The basketball season ticket sales was a success. THE. CITIZENSHIP COMMITTEE-This committee presented banners to the groups leading in scholarship and explained the basis for figuring out the scholarship chart. A plan for the project for this term's Council was presented. This plan was to add an eighth period to the day to be used as a study period by those pupils failing in three or four subjects. THE FINANCE COMMITTEE distributed buttons to the Council members. Money was appropriated to meet the various school expenses. THE PROPERTY COMMITTEE looked after the details of the trophy case that is being built by Hadley Vocational School. THE WELFARE COMMITTEE.-The plan of permitting New Juniors to vote was passed on by this group. This plan will be in force during the ensuing terms.

WOBU5 Two Hundred Eight 5 SPOPRTS yd K- x Ewan 1 r ii fx OUR COACHES Roosevelt teams are as strong as their coaches. As our teams have won championships in nearly every sport, the work of the coaches speaks for them. Mr. Neeb has successfully filled the position of Athletic Director for the past two years. ln his first year he paid our athletic debt. Last year football, for the first time in many years, did not show a deficit at the close of the season. He was manager of the St. Louis Public High School Athletic League last year. Mr. Carlson has made an enviable reputation as coach of Roosevelt football and baseball teams. His splendid work deserves much credit. Mr. Granger is Roosevelt's new track coach succeeding Mr. Castleman, who after his many years of outstanding work as coach at McKinley and at Roosevelt has given up this work. The team responded so well to Mr. Graz1er's careful training that again the track championship was brought home to Roosevelt. A Mr. Lorenzen has developed some of the finest basketball and tennis teams in this vicinity. His services are sincerely appreciated. Mr. Gerber deserves great thanks for his success with the swimming team. He is also responsible for the football team's physical condition. Mr. Cleland has produced excellent golf teams since the sport was made a major one at Roosevelt. Last term Mr. Kuntz coached the midget sprinters with extraordinary success. He deserves a sincere vote of thanks for his work with the team. Two Hundred Ten JACK WEINBERG I .93 93 BWEHH BASEBALL ROOSEVELT ENDS SEASON IN TIE FOR THIRD The dawn of the I934 baseball season saw many new features in the Public High School League. First, the entrance of the Ben Blewett baseball team, second, the innovation of the Saturday triple-headers with one game in the morning and two in the afternoon, finally, the Phil Ball Memorial Scholarship . This scholarship consisted of three things: first, a championship game to be played as a preliminary to the game between the St. Louis Browns and the Cleveland Indians on June 23 second, to the two outstanding players of the league-not necessarily from the championship team--was given a free trip around the Browns' circuit, stopping at all the towns in which the Browns play, fPete Chulick, veteran pitcher of McKinley and Ulmer Serb, Central's sparky little shortstop, were the two selectedlg third, to the two outstanding players of each team was given a free season pass to the Browns' games. fCaptain George I-lausman, pitcher and centerfielder, and Al Kleier, second baseman, were the two Rooseveltians to get these., i.1'After winning the championship' three consecutive years, Roosevelt, handi- capped by lack of experienced men, tied for third place with Cleveland, each school winning three games and losing three. Central won the championship, having won six games and lost one. In practice games, Roosevelt defeate Normandy, 8 to 7, and Webster Groves, 4 to 2: Roosevelt tied University City, 4 to 4, lost to Kirkwood, 2 to l, and lost to East St. Louis, 8 to 7. LEAGUE GAMES Roosevelt 7-Blewett 5 Having drawn a bye the first week of the season, Roosevelt played its first game against the Blewett nine on April I4 and won 7 to 5. Blewett took an early lead of two runs in the first inningg in the fifth, they added three runs, making the score read 5 to 0. In their half of the fifth the Rough Riders started slugging and when the smoke cleared away, they had six runs, making it 6 to 5 for Roosevelt. ln the sixth, Roosevelt collected another run. The game ended 7 to 5. Jenny and Kiley pitched for Roosevelt. Roosevelt I-Central ll The undefeated Central players stopped Roosevelt on April Zl, and dropped the Rough Riders to a third place tie with McKinley, each school winning one and losing one. Roosevelt's lone run came in the second on a home run by Schaefer, Roosevelt's leftfielder. Central quickly nullified it in their half of the inning when they gathered in four runs. They added five to it in the fourth, one in the fifth, and one in the sixth to make it Il to l. I-lausman, Kiley, and lVIcI-Iale pitched for Roosevelt. Ta Two Hundred Eleven BWENH Roosevelt 5--McKinley 6 On Saturday, April 28, Roosevelt lost a heart-breaker to McKinley, 6 to 5, and dropped down to a three-way tie with Beaumont and Blewett for fourth place. ln the last part of the second, McKinley got two runs and added four to them in the third. Meanwhile, Pete Chulick, McKinley ace, held Roosevelt well under control, allowing but one run in the fourth. ln the seventh the Cowboys drove Chulick to the showers in a four-run rally but couldn't get enough to win, losing by but one run. Jenny pitched for Roosevelt. Roosevelt 8---Soldan 7 Roosevelt defeated Soldan on May 5 by the score of 8 to 7 in a thriller that went nine innings thigh school games are only seven innings unless a tie resultsl. The Carlsonmen took an early lead by gaining seven runs in the Second. From then until the ninth they Went scoreless. ln their half of the second,-'Soldan got one run, another in the third, three in the fifth and tied it'up 7-7 with two runs in the seventh. ln the eighth both went scoreless, but in the ninth the Rough Riders had one while Soldan failed to score, so Roosevelt won its second game and tied Beaumont and Cleveland for third place. jenny, Hausman, and Nici-lale were the Roosevelt hurlers. Cleveland 7-Roosevelt 3 Cleveland defeated Roosevelt, 7 to 3, on May I2 and dropped Roosevelt to a tie with Beaumont for the fourth.

But in the next game, against the alumni, the stars of other years defeated our team 27-I8. The boys were groomed for the opening league encounter and defeated Soldan 25-I 7. ln the second game the Rough Riders just couldn't get going and lost to Cleveland 2l-I6. Playing Beaumont next, the team won with a Z3-20 score. Continuing in their stride, the Crimson slipped by 24-23 at De Soto, Missouri. Then playing Central in the fourth league game, Roosevelt came out ahead in an extra period thriller: I9-17. Participating in an Athletic Night at C. B. C., the Rough Riders were defeated 27-I5 by the Brothers. In league play again, Roosevelt lost to McKinley 29-21 and to Soldan in a I9-I 7 game. Disheartened by these defeats, the Crimson lost to Cleveland 30-IS. Then the Rough Riders came back into line by whipping Beaumont in a tight defensive game, l4-l 2. Following a I9-I3 non-league victory over Webster Groves, Roosevelt won from Central 29-26. With only a few seconds to play the Crimson trailed Central 26-25 but Wally Graul and Dick Hill brought the fans to their feet with a field goal apiece in the last ten seconds, winning the victory. Then Roosevelt completely outclassed Ben Blewet to the tune of 46-I5 in a non-league encounter. Meeting McKinley in the next league game, the Rough Riders gained revenge for an earlier defeat with a 23-I 7 score. Entering the District Tournament, Roosevelt surprised the experts by def-eating the strong University City High quintet I7-145 but lost the next game 25-I0 to McBride, the prep league champions. Since the season closed with Roosevelt and Beaumont tied for third place, the two teams played to decide the final standing. Wearied somewhat by the long season the Rough Riders lost to Beaumont 26-I6. Altogether the season was a success. Captain Bob Graul, guard, was honored by being placed on the interscholastic All-Star Team. During the season Roosevelt won six games and lost five in league play and won five and lost three in non-league competition.

CQ Q5 N Two Hundred Seventeen EKSJENH THE GOLF TEAM LTHOUGH the golf team did not fare well during the l934 season, it af had a safe hold on fourth place by an eight point margin. The team, il in coached by Mr. Cleland, consisted of Richard Koopman, James Fleming, Junior Tidrow, Frank Brooks, and James McLaughlin. The method of scoring, very different from that of the l933 season, accounted for the poor showing of our team. Our boys finished in second place for medal score-second only to the league-leading Soldan enthusiasts. Each team had four members, which were divided into two teams them- selves. In each match with the opposing schools, there were two separate games. The scoring was as follows: the team winning the most holes on the first nine holes acquired one pointy the one winning the most on the second nine holes acquired one point, and, finally, the team winning the most on the whole eighteen holes received one point. ln this way a team in one of its matches could get three points, and both teams together could thus win a total of six points during one Saturday of play against its opponent. The schedule of the games was as follows: September 22-Roosevelt tied Beaumont, 3-3. October 6--Roosevelt lost to Soldan, 0-6. October l3-Roosevelt defeated Cleveland, 5-0.

The Crimson ended the season with a league percentage of .800, defeating Beaumont, Central, Soldan, and McKinley, and losing only to Cleveland. ln the practice games, the Rough Riders did not fare quite so well, tying East St. Louis, defeating McBride, and bowing to Farmington and Centralia. ROOSEVELT Of-EAST ST. LOUIS 0 ln an extremely well played practice game, Roosevelt held an unusually powerful East St. Louis team to a scoreless tie. The Crimson outplayed the East-siders throughout the game, and, if luck had been with them, they would probably have been the victors. ln the opening minutes of the game, the Rough Riders rushed the ball to their opponents' four-yard line, but a Roosevelt fumble ended the only real scoring promise of the game. Roosevelt did most of the ground-gaining after that, but all of their scoring threats were stopped by a determined East St. Louis defense. ROOSEVELT I 2-CENTRAL 0 Roosevelt rounded into form and defeated Central by a score of l2-0 in the opening game of the lnterscholastic season. The game was played on an extremely muddy field. Despite this condition, Roosevelt played an excellent game. The blocking of the Crimson eleven was as good as that of any of the high school teams in this vicinity. Al Seidel and Captain Schoen- berg scored the touchdowns, Guy Moser and Bob Harle reeled' off several long runs. Joe Szuch called signals ably and blocked unusually well. That the line held like a stone wall may be seen from the fact that Central gained only eight yards during the entire game. ROOSEVELT 20-McBRIDE 6 ln a non-league tilt, Roosevelt decisively trounced McBride by a score of 20-6. ln defeating last year's Prep League champions, the Rough Riders showed their real power. Bob Harle, who was Roosevelt's main ground gainer, scored all three touchdowns. Joe Szuch place-kicked the two extra points. The Hartford Street eleven suffered an unusual amount of penalties: otherwise the game might have been more of a rout than it was. The Roosevelt line was again a tower of defense, holding lVlcBride's powerful offense to one touchdown: it was really the Crimson offense that won the game. . ROOSEVELT l2-FARMINGTON I4 The Rough Riders journeyed to Farmington to play a game which they lost by the score of I4 to l2. All of the pep and drive that characterized the team's playing throughout the year was lacking in this contest.

T ROOSEVELT 0-CLEVELAND I 8 Returning to league competition, Roosevelt dropped a game to Cleveland. The Rough Riders entered the game, favored to win, but they lost to a greatly under-estimated Cleveland team, I8 to 0. In the middle of the first quarter the Orange and Blue started a drive which culminated in the first touchdown of the game. They also received the extra point. ln the second quarter, Roosevelt started a march that carried the ball to the Cleveland five-yard stripe. Here Cleveland's defense stiffened, and the Crimson lost the ball on downs. At the start of the second half, Cleveland intercepted one of Roosevelt's attempted passes. lmmediately afterwards, she completed one of her own for a fifty-yard gain and made another touchdown. Cleveland's last touchdown came in the closing minutes of the game. ROOSEVELT 20-BEAUMONT I 2 ln one of the most exciting games of the year, Roosevelt drubbed a powerful Beaumont eleven, 20 to IZ. The Gold and Blue opened a great drive early in the game, scoring a touchdown when one of their men crossed the goal-line after an eighty-yard run. Roosevelt kept Hghting, however, and in the third quarter, Bob Harle plunged over the double-marker for a touch- down. Joe Szuch place-kicked the extra point: but Beaumont came right back, and one of their men took the ball on an off tackle sweep for a fifty-yard run and a touchdown. The Rough Riders opened a drive late in the third period, taking the ball to Beaumont's four-yard line. Then on the first play of the fourth quarter, Schoenberg plunged over the line, raising Roosevelt's score to I3 and providing the winning margin. just to make sure, however, Bob l-larle added another touchdown and Szuch kicked the extra point. ROOSEVELT 33-SOLDAN 0 ln a one-sided contest, Roosevelt routed Soldan, 33 to 0. The Rough Riders got off to an early lead, Schoenberg scoring a touchdown in the first few minutes of play. Szuch place-kicked the extra point. Later in the first quarter Koch carried the ball to the one-yard mark on some excellent running. Schoenberg again ran the pig-skin across the double stripe, with Szuch winning the extra point. ln the third quarter, Seidel electrified the stands with beautiful ball-carrying. Twice in this period he received the kick-offs and raced for touchdowns: the first came after a ninety-five yard run, and the second after an eighty-eight-yard sprint. Then, in the fourth quarter, he skirted left end for a thirty-five-yard dash and his third touchdown of the day. Besides the excellent back-field work of Seidel, Koch, and Schoenberg, the game was featured by the excellent playing of Szuch and the defense that the Roosevelt team offered. Two Hundred Twenty-two 935 935 BUJEIHH ROOSEVELT 20-CENTRALIA 24 The Rough Riders went to Centralia for a night practice game which they lost by the close score of 24 to 20. The team played excellent ball, considering the fact that this game was their first experience in playing at night. The line was dotted with substitutes, as Coach Carlson was trying to keep the regulars in condition for the McKinley game. The Centralia battle was a see-saw contest, with first one team ahead, and then the other. Centralia finally emerged as the victors. Roosevelt's points were scored on touchdowns by Al Seidel, Bob Harle, and Captain Schoenberg, with Joe Szuch converting two of the extra points. S ROOSEVELT I 8-MCKINLEY 0 Roosevelt went into a three-way tie for first place with Cleveland and McKinley, when she handed the McKinley Goldbugs their only defeat. The Rough Riders displayed a championship brand of football in defeating this team. The Roosevelt defense was marvelous, stopping the famed McKinley offense. Early in the second quarter, successive plunges by Harle and Schoenberg carried the ball to the Goldbugs' twelve-yard line. From there, A1 Seidel took the ball over the goal line on a beautiful end-run. Szuch's try for the extra point was blocked. Later in the same quarter, McKinley fumbled the ball on their own thirty-yard line, and Roosevelt recovered it. A completed pass from Harle to Szuch advanced the ball twenty-two yards. Then Seidel ran around end, being forced out of bounds on the one-foot line. Schoenberg plunged over, raising Roosevelt's score to twelve. Szuch's kick was again blocked. ln the last quarter, Bogasch broke through and blocked one of McKinley's punts. ' He picked up the ball and ran with it thirty yards for Roosevelt's final touchdown.

RUSSELL SCI-IOENBECK Term 4 Two Hundred Twenty-three wi ll EUJEJHH SWIMMING TEAM SWIMMING TEAM This year the Roosevelt Swimming Team, with six letter men back, had a highly successful season. Under Coach Gerbefs direction the team lost only three dual meets and came in second and third in the interscholastic and District meets. The team started the season by defeating McKinley forty-eight to twenty- seven. The second meet was lost to Cleveland by the narrow margin of one point, thirty-eight to thirty-seven. The third meet was with the Western Military Academy at Alton, Illinois, and was one of the worst defeats that Roosevelt received during the season. During the meet, Winklemeyer, a Western student, broke the one hundred yard backstroke record for the academy. After the final score was compiled. it was found that Western had doubled Roosevelt in points. The final score was fifty to twenty-five. The next meet was with Central and resulted in a Roosevelt victory, thirty-nine and one-half to thirty-one and one-half. The next six meets all resulted in Roosevelt victories up to the next to the last meet with Beaumont. ln this meet Coach Gerber tried to give the boys who needed a few points for letters a last chance. The result was the worst defeat of the season, fifty-two to twenty-three. Two Hundred Twenty-four 935 93 EUJEHH ln the last meet with Cleveland, Roosevelt won over Cleveland forty-nine to twenty-six. ln the lnterscholastic Meet Roosevelt fought determinedly but was dis- qualified in the two-hundred yard relay, and lost several points. At the end Roosevelt, with twenty-eight points, was second to Beaumont with thirty- five points. ln the District Meet, Roosevelt fought resolutely and took one first and several second places but won only enough points to take third place after Beaumont and St. Louis University High School. Altogether, Coach Gerber is to be complimented upon his success with his I933-I934 team. Captain Paul Benson and the team are to be con- gratulated upon their success.

The establishment of this record is a feat of which Roosevelt may Well be proud. The members of the team won all of their twenty-four matches without the loss of a single match. Herbert Markwort, Eugene Weber, and Henry Boecler played singlesg Northcutt Coil and Richard Wilhelm played doubles. Soldan, our deadly rival, went down in defeat just as easily as the other schools. The tennis team played Soldan, Beaumont, Cleveland, Central, Ben Blewett, and McKinley. The tennis championship has come home to Roosevelt this year for the first time since l928. Richard Wilhelm will be the only letter man back next year from this year's team. The other tennis players of our school will have a good chance of making the team if they will come out and play in the spring tournament. Much praise is due Coach Lorenzen-for his efficient handling of the players. NORTHCUTT COIL Two Hundred Twenty-six 93 5 TENNIS TEAM Two Hundred Twenty-seven BUJEHH Two Hundred Twenty-eight BARBARA SCI-IAEFFER Queen of the Track Meet 1935 935 EWZHH TRACK SENIOR AND JUNIOR DIVISIONS Roosevelt seems to have a habit of winning the track championship of the city, for the seven years that she has been competing she has Won seven championships. Although this year the team lost its beloved coach, Mr. Castleman, it received in return another just as good, Mr. Granger. Both have the ability to turn out championship teams. Due to financial trouble, Roosevelt was not able to send a team to the state meets, and for the same reason was not fully represented in the Maple- wood Relays. Several men, however, were entered in these meets and won places. The seas-on proper opened with the meet with East St. Louis. Among the high lights of the meet was the high jumping of Wally Schoenbeck. Wally tied for first by clearing 5 feet SM inches. Although this was not official, it smashed the junior record. ln addition to this performance, Wally won the low hurdles, placed in the pole vault and in the 220 to become high score man. Close behind him was Bill Brooks, who won in the 220 and 440 and secured a place on the relay team, to score I2 points. With the help of others, especially Hoffman, Roosevelt piled up l24M points to East St. l..ouis's 74M. The next meet, the juniors with Soldan, was an easy victory for Roose- velt, 69 to 26. Roosevelt suffered her only defeat at the hands of the state champions, University City. Hoffman came through in fine style to win the l00 and 220-yard dashes in the senior division, but University City was a little too much for the team as a whole. The score was: University City-l35M, Roosevelt-6 3 M . The team was far from downhearted by its defeat, for in its next meet, with Beaumont, the two divisions piled up a total of 200W points to Beau- mont's 68M. The last dual meet was with Central. The team was rounding out in good condition and had no trouble in taking the meet, l39 to 59. Then came the climax of the track season, the lnterscholastic. Roosevelt, lead by George Hancock, the senior captain, and Wally Schoenbeck, the junior captain, and inspired by Barbara Schaefer, the Track Queen, led by far in the number of qualifiers. ln the finals, Coach Granger's work bore fruit as Roosevelt, winning all divisions, amassed a grand total of ll3M points, more than twice as much as the nearest rival, Soldan, with 5 l Kg points. Starting with the l00-yard dash, Hoffman won first in near record time. In the senior 440, Hancock took only a third. Beeman took fourth. Hoffman Two Hundred Twenty-nine Two Hundred Thirty TRACK TEAM 93 EWEHH won the 220. Jacobi won the mile easily, and Toon took third. Graul lost first in the shot put by a few inches and had to be content with second. Heineman took third. Militzer won the 880, and Pearcy took fourth. Heine- man tied for third in the high jump. At this point, with only the relay left to be run, the senior team was tied .with Soldan for first place. The relay team, composed of Ashby, Howlett, Hancock, and Hoffman, had to show its fighting spirit, and the boys did, fighting all the way. The junior division was easier. Seidel won first in the l00 in 10.4, tying the record. Brooke came from behind to take second in the 440. He started slowly, and was not able to take first as he was expected to do. A. Seidel took fourth in the 50. Seidel took firstg Berg, second, and St. Denis, fourth in the 220. The 'Seidel brothers did a lot for Roosevelt. ln the l20 low hurdles WallyiSchoenbeck was an easy winner with a time of I4:6, breaking the old record. McDougall took secondg and St. Denis, fourth. ln the 880, Brooks put up a strong fight but was defeated. ln taking second, he pushed Green of Blewett to a new record. Hilmer took third in the shot. Wally Schoenbeck won the high jump by setting a new record of 5 feet, 8 inches. This was not as good as he had clone against East St. Louis. ln the pole vault, Kincaid took second. In the broad jump, J. Seidel took second and Wally Schoenbeck took fourth. The relay team, composed of Berg, Loftus, St. Denis, and Seidel, won, winding up the junior division with a victory for Roosevelt. MONCRIEFF SMITH POINT WINNERS-TRACK MEET Two Hundred Thirty-one EUJENH MIDGET DIVISION The Midgets under Coach Kuntz again did their share of point-winning at the twenty-fourth annual Field Day Meet and won the championship in their division. Led by their diminutive captain, Russell Schoenbeck, who broke the record for the 75-yardilow hurdles, they secured a total of twenty- eight points, a score which was fifteen points ahead of their closest competitor, Ben Blewett. The Rough Riders had only four dual meets but did exception- ally well in each. They started their brilliant season by trouncing Soldan 43 to I6. Russell Schoenbeck, Herbert Meredith, Edwin Reid, and I-Iouska were the leading scorers. In the following meet which was held with Beau- mont, they walked away from Beaumont, for they won 48M to IOM. Charles Link paced the attack by securing I0 points, including a tie for first in the 75-yard dash, first in the 50-yard dash, and third in the broad jump. The meet with Blewett was rather exciting due to the close score of 31M to 27M, with the Rooseveltians again coming out on top. They then jour- neyed to the Stadium and overwhelmed Central in their Iast dual meet by a score of 405 to ISM. Houska Ied his team-mates with IOM points. In the preliminaries the midgets qualihed fourteen men for the finals to the seven qualifying for Central, which was second in the listing of the seven schools. Schoenbeck broke the only record when he raced over the 75-yard low hurdles in I0:9 seconds to beat Bill Layne of McKinley, another fine hurdler. , In the interscholastic meet the midgets secured twenty-eight points to help Roosevelt win in all three divisions for the third consecutive time. Russell Schoenbeck again proved his record breaking caliber when he set a new interscholastic record of I0:9 seconds for the 75-yard low hurdlers. Other outstanding midgets were Link, Meredith, Allen, Fleming, I-Iellwig, and I-Iouska. May next year's team be as successful and keep up the line record of the previous midget teamsl BOND FLOWER ,t :TT- , -, Ax 4. .
