LOUIS HE painting on the drop curtain in the Roosevelt auditorium portrays Laclede, Chouteau, and the Indians beginning the settlement of St. Kflbl Louis. The painter, Paul Cornoyer, a native St. Louisan, was an artist of merit. He painted the picture, The Birth of St. Louis , for the staircase of the Planter's Hotel, receiving SL000 commission for the work. After a very eventful career, Mr. Cornoyer died in Massachusetts in 1923. When the hotel was closed in l9Z2, the picture was given to the Board of Education. Temporarily placed at Central High School, it was later given to Roosevelt High School for its auditorium. Recently this painting was valued at 55,000 All Rooseveltians should be proud of this splendid and valuable work of art. PROPERTY COMMITTEE Twelve --1. '03 'we 5 K 'p vi' 'id F 1:- x W 9. lf N.

Traffic and travel from every corner of the United 4 -1 States pass through our city by railroad, highway, river, and air. Nineteen trunk-line railroads make St. Louis the second largest railroad terminal in the country. It is said that freight and passenger trains cross the bridges over the Mississippi River into St. Louis at the average of one every five minutes. Six mighty bridges span the Mississippi at St. Louis. The oldest of these is the Eads Bridge. The most traveled is the Municipal Bridge, over which an almost constant stream of trucks and automobiles flows. Other bridges are the Lewis and Clark Bridge, the McKinley Bridge, and the Chain of Rocks Bridge. Broad highways, over which passenger busses and numerous freight trucks pass, enter the city from all directions. Within the city is the recently completed Express Highway, built to expedite the movement of traffic between western and downtown St. Louis. Although the river traffic is not nearly so great as it formerly was, St. Louis still remains the main port of the great inland waterways system. Cargoes of freight pass through the city for direct barge shipment or combined barge and rail shipment. St. Louis is a major link in transcontinental air transportation. The St. Louis Municipal Airport at Lambert Field is one of the largest and finest in the nation. It has received from the United States Department of Commerce the ATA rating, the highest awarded to any airport. The airport was built at the expenditure of two million dollars of public funds plus a private invest- ment of about two million dollars. At Lambert Field one sees every kind of aircraft from mail planes to huge passenger planes which operate on day and night schedules. St. Louis is truly The Crossroads of the Nation.

LOUIS is the natural center of the vast fertile territory of the j Southwest, and with her natural advantages must inevitably become one of the most important cities of this country. -Honorable James Bryce, British Ambassador, l907. Within five years after Laclede marked the trees for the location of the settlement, St. Louis had a population of about l,000. When, forty years after the founding, Stoddard raised the United States Hag, there were not many more inhabitants. But far more important, every year the radius of the St. Louis influence grew. St. Louis was to become the gateway for the stream of migration, the starting point for expeditions: military, to establish forts, scientific, to explore and exploit: others, to establish communities and to open commercial avenues. ln the early days the supremacy of the settlement depended upon dis- tributive commerce. St. Louis was a distributing center. The city became important through the bringing of all kinds of manufactured products to growing sections of the country. St. Louis was a great market for furs, mined ores, tobacco, grain, and many other products. St. Louis was the sugar manufacturing and distributing point for the interior of the country. It was the center of river traffic. Long before railroads came, lead, grain, and other products were shipped on barges down the Mississippi. St. Louis had l0,000 inhabitants in l836, when the first railroad in Mis- souri, or anywhere west of the Mississippi, was built from St. Louis. Within the city itself, transportation was a chief development. Before IS43, the majority of people in St. Louis traveled on foot. By 1844, St. Louisans began to ride on the omnibus, the first public transit. ln l859, came the first horse-car, 'ia beautiful vehicle, light, elegant, and commodiousf' ln ISS6, people began to ride on the grip and the trailer of the cable. St. Louis was jerked downtown and uptown by cable for a little longer than a decade. The trolley era dates from l894. Today, people who travel much credit St. Louis with the most comprehensive, the best-managed street rail- way system in the United States. ln all ways St. Louis has been progressive in her transportation develop- ment. Her Union Station, once the ranking station of the United States, is still classed with the important terminals. SHIRLEY MATTICK Twenl y I' I . nl. Courtesy of W H sto ca! Sor My RIVER TRANSPORTATION OF ST. LOUIS I N THE early fall of l787, a youth rode down to the river bank, opposite St. Louis. As was the custom at crossings when the stream could not be forded, he shouted the long-drawn out, O-o-o-ver! He aited for some sign of activity at the foot of the rocky bluff on the other side. Five minutes passed and again came the lusty halloo, O-o-o- ver! An hour or more passed before a flat-bottomed boat rowed by two men put out. By this haphazard means the traveler from the east side reached St. Louis in that year. By l797, a ferry had been started by Captain James Piggott, prompted by the increasing travel to St. Louis. By 1817, the town had attained the degree of importance which demanded two ferry landings. The service, under competition, became regular, it continued to be primitive. Two kinds of boats were used: the slow-moving, flat-bottomed craft, without covering, was employed to convey horses and wagons, a keel boat with four oars made quicker passage for people. Ferry transportation at St. Louis became pro- gressive when John Day built a boat with a wheel which was turned by a horse in a treadmill. ln those days, when rivalry did not lead to cut rates, the tolls were twenty-five cents for human beings, fifty cents for cattle or horses: twelve and one-half cents a hundred for lumber or other heavy freight. With l8l8 came a new era in ferrying. Samuel Wiggins connected himself with the ferry business, and gradually he consolidated and improved the service. The Wiggins Ferry became an institution of the city, for it met public needs. ln ISI 7, the first steamboat, a very primitive affair, reached St. Louis. Yet when Missouri entered the Union there was not a steamboat owned in the state, although this improvement in transportation was in use on the Ohio and the lower Mississippi. Above St. Louis the navigation was by barges. Steamboats came up to St. Louis, unloaded, loaded, and left. The business men of the city were slow to go into steamboating as a business, and actually as late as IS33, not more than two or three boats were owned in St. Louis. ln I83l, the repairing of steamboats became an important industry at St. Louis. Ten years later a great deal was said about building St. Louis Twenty-one ? F ' 5 boats for St. Louis trade, and in the same year Calvin Case opened a boat- yard. By IS47 there were seventy-six steamboats, and a great deal of river business was done by individual owners of boats or by single firms. Shortly after, iron gunboats were built here, and their successful navigation was seen on the Mississippi. These iron barges and steamboats were highly recom- mended, for they lessened the cost of freight and insurance, and increased the volume of transportation. There were few improvements after the iron boats, and in the following years until the present time these boats and barges traveled up and down the Mississippi. Recently there has been much discussion in regard to widen- ing the Mississippi so that the ocean steamers may come up to St. Louis. Then, indeed, St. Louis would be a Center of Transportation.

N fQuick, ulvlississippi Steamboatin' D A Q' ROBABLY many a tiny Uncle Henry has grown up to realize his usteamboatin' U dream. What could be more fascinating than to pilot one of those floating palaces down the broad Mississippi! ln his book, Life on the 1Wz'ssissz'pp1', Mark Twain tells how proud he was when he became a cub pilot. With his usual humor, he relates what trials and tribulations were his when he attempted to master the course of the ever- changing Mississippi. The life of a steamboatman was not all play--far from it. But every boy was willing to work hard for the honor of being one. The steamboat captain usually designed and directed the building of his boat. The typical river boat had three decks with a small, gaudily-deco- rated pilot house on top. lntricate, gingerbread woodwork between the decks transformed a rather commonplace vessel into a floating, fairy palace. The cabins were decorated with great luxury. Oil paintings were on the walls, and the carpets were usually an inch thick. Gilt was used to add to the magnificence. The river captain spared no expense in decorating his boat, for competition was strong. If one boat came out with a chandelier with one hundred lights, the other boats had to have chandeliers with more than one hundred lights. The passengers appreciated this competition. As more and more boats were launched, their decorations became increasingly elaborate. Steamboats were used to transport cotton, wood, and general merchan- dise up and down the river. But most people think of steamboats as passen- ger boats. Where every boat had a nigger on the safety valve, a gambler on the hurricane deck, and romance in the cabin. And it was for this trade that most of the finest boats were built . The negroes were musical and care-free. Usually one of them felt happy and would start a song. As the others gradually joined in, rhythmic music would swell over the muddy water. Many long evenings were spent in this manner by negroes and whites. Steamboatin' was not all fung many dangers were connected with it. Boilers would explode: boats would catch fire, or would run into snags and sink. The results would be tragic if no other boat happened to be near. Still people would brave these dangers for the fun of traveling up and down the Mississippi. Steamboatin' days on the Mississippi have come and gone. Those rough- and-ready days of steamboat traffic are only exciting tales. The railroad has practically replaced the steamboat. Oh, yes, we still have river traflicg the latest type boat, docked at the foot of Vine Street, is beautiful. But can it compare with the old-time steamers, with cotton piled high on the hurricane deck, the negro roustabouts singing their mysterious rhythms? No, those days will never return. But Ol' Man Riber, he still keeps goin' along. DORIS MARNER Twenty-three mf.. Q Twentyffcur lf. . a 'sm Ia -.Q 4, A . A . V .L .

Early in the l830's, an om us line was established. It met with so little success, however, that its services had to be discontinued. ln I845, Erastus- Wells and Calvin Case went into the omnibus business with more enterprise than their predecessor had done. Wells and Case put several lines into service which did a flourish- ing and profitable business. The next year the omnibuses were recognized by the city authorities and a regulating ordinance was passed. ln the parts of St. Louis which were not reached by omnibuses, however, there remained but one method of transportation, walking. Of course, some few people owned carriages and horses. ln very early days St. Louis extended from the Mississippi River to Fourth Street and from Chouteau Avenue to Franklin Avenue. ln 1822, the limits were extended west to Rutger Street and north to Biddle Street. ln l84l, Eighteenth Street was reached: in I855, just beyond Grand Avenueg and in I876, the present city limits were established. Thus the city expanded and its population, though greatly increased, was distributed over a far wider area. This spreading out of the population farther from the downtown business districts and commercial and industrial areas in the older sections of the city increased the need for faster transportation facilities for the general public. Twenty-Eve It was not until i859 that active steps were taken to secure street railroads. ln January of that year a public meeting was held at which the chairman delivered an eloquent speech urging the people to support plans for a street railroad system. In the course of the meeting a series of resolutions to establish horse railways in St. Louis was adopted. On July 4, l859, the Missouri Railroad Company inaugurated the first street railway line in St. Louis. Erastus Wells, president of the company, drove the first car from end to end of the track on Olive Street from Fourth to Twelfth Streets, a distance of one-half mile. The horse-drawn car was much lighter than the present-day street-car and only about one-third to one-half its size, but larger than the omnibus. There were no springs, no cushioned seats in the horse-car. The small rocks, which the horses often kicked on the rails, retarded the progress of the cars and sometimes threw them off the tracks. ln i859 three other horse-drawn systems went into service, two of which ceased operation some time during the Civil War period, but within the twenty years from I862-1882, eleven more began to operate. The maximum mileage of horse railroads operating in St. Louis in I887-8 was l47.36 miles. However, this does not represent the total amount of horse railroad construction that was later changed to cable or electric operation. The total amount on lines now forming the United Railways system was about l54.73 miles in the city and 6.57 miles in St. Louis County, making a total of l 6 l .3 miles. The horse-cars proved to be a great convenience to St. Louisans living in the distant parts of the city. These people were enabled to reach the commercial sections of the city more quickly and in comparative comfort. The advent of the horse-car also removed a barrier to settlement in the parts of the city not reached before by the omnibuses. While the city limits of St. Louis remained unchanged, the city itself grew. New business districts far from the river front sprang up, and though these were not so important as the great commercial district along the river, they carried on business with the entire city. Then, too, the people whose places of employment were in the old commercial district began to move to the outlying parts of the city. All these factors pointed beyond the horse- car to the rapid transit system so well known today. It was when electricity was found to supply motive power especially adapted to the street-car that the beginnings of the street railway system of today were realized. The proximity of the Illinois coal fields assured St. Louis an unlimited supply of cheap electric power. The days of the horse- car were numbered. Even after the system had been motorized, the horse- cars were used on owl trips-from midnight to five o'clock in the morning. These last cars were a picturesque sight for a few years, but at last they, too, disappeared. The cable car enjoyed a period of service to the people of St. Louis, but the advantages of the electric railway made the rapid transit system take its place within a few years. Ttcenzy-six The entire duration of the operation of horse-cars was from l850 to l895, a period of some thirty-six years. The first horse railroad put in operation had its motive power changed in 188 7, after a period of twenty-six years. The last horse-railroad, the North Central lines, having operated as a horse-railway for ten or eleven years, was changed for electric operation in i893 and IS94. Thus the horse-car-the most modern method of intra- urban transportation in l859-was left behind in the forward march of progress.

LOUIS STREET-CARS .pf HE history of St. Louis street cars dates back to September, l843, when Erastus Wells came to St. Louis. For S75 each, Wells bought two horses and began the first omnibus line. The omnibus of that clay was an open one whosesides were protected by curtains to be removed or rolled up when thei weather was fair. Two rather high steps in the rear enabled people to get in or out. The driver was obliged to alight and walk to the rear and collect fares from those passengers who had not tendered their bit before entering. About a month after the line had started, the horses were frightened and ran away. The damage to the omnibus was so great that the line had to be suspended for about three weeks. This suspension was perhaps the best thing that could have happened: for, while people did not take enthusiasti- cally to the omnibus line, they missed the convenience while repairs were in progress. On July 4, IS59, the first car-driven by two horses-left Fourth and Olive Streets for its initial trip. There was another style of car, the body of which was on a pivot in the center. At the end of the line the pivot was raised and the car-body swung around, the trucks remaining on the tracks. Then came the adoption of the bobtail car drawn by one horse. This car was ten to twelve feet long with a platform in the front and a step in the back. ln I874 a two-story car was put on. A spiral staircase on the rear platform gave access to the second story. This was a fair weather car which clidn't last long. Steam dummies were tried, but, since they frightened the horses so much, they were prohibited. ln i885-i886 St. Louisans began to ride on the grip and trailer of the cable car which was, for a while, well liked. Within five years it had fallen into such uncertain ways that advantage was taken of a permit to turn the line into an electric road. ln l89l the cable tacks were torn up, the conduits were filledg and trolley wires were strung. The trolley car was then put on probation for twelve months. The average citizen looked with distrust and foreboding on that naked overhead wire carrying certain death if the circuit was made through a human link. It was even contended by some theorists that the wire would kill the trees. Some St. Louis people predicted that so much electricity in the air would cause much sickness, especially nervous ailments. The first electric cars, sixteen feet long, had seats on either side. Later a car twenty- eight feet long with cross seats arranged upon a center aisle was used. At the present time we have street cars which are run by a motorman and a conductor, or by one man who has charge of both jobs. ln the newest cars some seats are on the side: others, upon a center aisle. The universal transfer came into use by lS98. One passenger out of every four, on lines granting this privilege, made use of the transfer to continue his journey. Twenty-nine The consolidation of various independent lines was followed by the recon- struction of track according to the highest standards, by the establishment of the universal transfer, by an arrangement of schedules and routes, which is as efficient as can be obtained from surface operation, The railway system is managed by men who have received their training in St. Louis and who are looked upon by railway men of other cities as possessing superior qualifications. The street railway system of St. Louis was founded by local capital and is in a large part now owned by St. Louisans.

The early history of aeronautics in St. Louis is closely identified with the early history of aeronautics throughout the world. St. Louis has been con- spicuous in such activity since 1859, at which time Captain John Wise made a balloon flight from St. Louis to Henderson, New York, l l50 miles-a record which stood for over fifty years. It was, however, over sixty-four years later before the first real prize money of any consequence was offered in the interest of aeronautics. The Louisiana Purchase Exposition Company, through the personal efforts of Governor Francis, offered SI 50,000 in prizes for aerial flights and exhibitions. The airplane was then practically unknown. ln l907, the first International Balloon Race to be held in this country took place in Forest Park with entrants from Germany, France, and Belgium. ln that same year Major Albert Bond Lambert, the dean of aviation in this part of the country, and his friend, Captain H. E. Honeywell, took a balloon trip. After losing their bearings, they landed near Tiger, Georgia, four hundred and fifty miles from St. Louis. Flying in heavier-than-air machines did not take place in St. Louis until Glenn Curtiss made the first airplane flight in I909, over a circular course in Forest Park. ln the next year, St. Louis again led the country in the advance- ment of aviation. It had the first aviation meet in the United States. This meet took place at Kinloch Field, where the famous French aviator, Le Blanc, had come with his Bleriot monoplane. There were prizes amounting to the incredible sum of 545,000 During this meet, a world's endurance record of one hour and ten minutes was established, a long distance record of seventy- five miles, and a speed record of sixty miles an hour. The first air mail route was established between Kinloch Field and the Fairgrounds Park in l9l l. Five thousand pieces of mail bearing the official cancellation stamp of the United States Post Office, marked Aeroplane Station, No. l, October 4, l9l l, St. Louis, lVlo., were carried. The Kinloch Field was finally abandoned, and a new field was secured on North Broadway. During the World War, St. Louis developed another flying field in Forest Park near the Mounted Police Station: its purpose was, primarily, to serve the air mail. The Chamber of Commerce raised Sl2,500, and the city appropriated the same amount for a steel hangar. When the air mail was discontinued at Forest Park, another field was bought, situated at Bridgeport, Missouri, and called at first Lambert's Field. Cn this great, level field the greatest aeronautic events of the world were held. On the day of the Pulitzer Race, l40,000 people attended, and over 24,000 automobiles were parked. Ninety-two planes and the airship Shemln- doah were on the flying field. One day during all this excitement, a small ship landed, and the pilot made himself known. He bashfully introduced himself as Lindbergh. A few years later this great pilot instructed students Thirly-Iwo while waiting for the inauguration of the St. Louis-to-Chicago air mail line, of which he was to be chief pilot. While Lindy was flying the mail he interested several St. Louisans, especially Harry K. Knight, sufficiently to finance a trip across the Atlantic Ocean to Paris. After his spectacular flight, Lindy was welcomed by every city through which he passed. ln St. Louis over 500,000 people cheered and shouted welcome along the line of march: the Chamber of Commerce gave an elaborate reception in his honor. From this time St. Louis rapidly advanced in aviation. in l928, Mayor Miller signed a bill appropriating enough money for the temporary acquisition of the Lambert-St. Louis Flying Field, which covers 693 acres, as the Municipal Airport, but the tract still had to be prepared for the great airliners of the future. Runways with clear, unimpaired ap- proaches and exits, meeting the requirements of the largest modern planes, were built. Four were made 200 feet wide and a mile long to allow flyers to come into them from any of the eight points of the compass, depending on the direction of the wind. This modern airdrome was made possible by the two million-dollar munici- pal airport bond issue, passed by the far-seeing St. Louisans. The development of this field was based on first-hand study of the finest European airdromesg it is now one of the few airports in this country with an ATA rating, the highest rating given by the Department of Commerce. It is equipped with modern hangars, flood-lights, radio compass, traffic control towers, meteor- logical station, radio-range, and two-way radio-telephone. The air transport lines, which have their headquarters in St. Louis, spend a large part of their revenue developing improved aircraft and aids to flying, such as the directive radio beam for keeping the plane on the course when the pilot cannot see the beacons on the surface, the radio airport localizer for bringing in the airplane directly over the airport, and the radio landing beam. St. Louis is really an airline city, because of its strategic position and the interest of its citizens in early aviation. Free from nearby dangerous mountain ranges or treacherous air currents, the great central plain of the Mississippi Valley is ideal for aviation. As both Lindy and Floyd Bennett predicted, St. Louis has become not only a great central airport, but one of America's foremost centers of aviation. Because of the resourcefulness, courage, and vision of the men engaged in the aviation industry, our city has benefited over the past ten years and more. Air transportation has accelerated our business, contributed to the prosperity of our city, and given us increased transportation convenience. Air transportation is a very young industry. Prior to I9 l 8, it was entirely a military experiment. From I9 I 8 to l929 it was still an experiment, partly governmental and partly civil, in that the air mail service was being developed. Since l929, when nation-wide passenger and express services were added to that of the air mail, the airlines have made considerable progress in equip- ment and methods of handling traffic. As evidence of their intent to provide the best air transport system in the world, our airlines have invested large sums in new planes, airport facilities, and communication services. It is conceivable that, in the same way, but to a less extent, the growth Thirty -three of air transportation and travel may tend to change the location of certain industries and the habits of many people. It is easy, as air traffic improves and widens its scope, to think of people living on farms or in country towns and commuting by suburban airlines from a hundred miles or more away with less loss of time than the use of motorcars or suburban trains now involves. Unquestionably, in the eyes of the nation, St. Louis has taken a great step forward in community development, as well as in aeronautical importance. Colonel Lindbergh led the way with his spectacular flight. St. Louis has sur- mounted the chief obstacles, while soaring ahead as the nation's- center of aviation. The real significance of air transportation lies in what it promises to be in the near future, for, undoubtedly, St. Louis will continue to advance as air transportation advances. LEONARD WIEDERSHINE INFLUENCE OF TRANSPORTATION n- HE great changes in transportation facilities have brought about greater 'Zsf l . . . . . . . changes in living condit1ons.than in -any other one thing. l shall gig! not say improvement in living conditions, because that is a very debatable point. Methods of transportation govern even the sort of clothing one wears. Years ago, when everyone went about in open carriages pulled by horses, heavy clothing, and a great deal of it, was necessary in winter to keep the adventurous rider from being frost-bitten. Now, we wear the same kind of clothes for a trip that we wear every day. So we can say that modern methods of transportation have certainly influenced our wearing apparel. Recent inventions in transportation appliances have also changed our food habits. We can have mutton and lamb from Australia, and all kinds of tropical fruit shipped to us in refrigerator steamers. Even flowers are transported from one part of our country to another in refrigerator cars. Certain methods of transportation have added new words to our vocabu- lary. When the aeroplane came into use a dozen or more new words had to be coined: the process of adding to our stock of words is still going on. For instance there is uaeroviewf' a view from an aeroplane, and Hair- mindedf' thinking in terms of aviation. Those words cannot be very old. The word 'ientrainu means transporting troops by train. Doesn't it follow that to send troops by plane would be Uenplanen? Transportation shows its influence even on the songs we sing. l believe there must be a song to fit all methods of transportation from years ago up to our day. A few transportation songs are: On a Bicycle Built for Two, Casey jones, Floating Down the River, Waiting for the Robert E.. Lee, Wreck of the Old Ninety-Seven, Louisiana I-layridef' The Donkey Serenade, and Us on a Bus. What l am trying to point out is that transportation is not only a going from one place to another, but it is something that has crept into the very fabric of our lives, and has wrought in us many changes and will probably continue to bring in more as the years roll on. EVELYN LUECKING Thirty-four MODERN TYPES OF TRANSPORTATION Thing-Hue OUR UNION STATION INUS the stores, tall buildings, and traffic, we might easily imagine the structure to be a mediaeval castle. Or did mediaevel castles have tall towers with impressive clocks? At least we can be sure that they were massive stone structures, just as this is. On the broad stone steps that lead up from the street there are bristling stone flowers. Over the main entrance hangs a huge metal canopy, Haunting as decoration two wrought iron spheres, and prevented from crashing on our inquisitive heads by two heavy iron chains. A closer inspection of the rather dingy stone blocks reveals something which shatters our illusions of mediaeval castles. If we stoop down, we can see, cut very plainly into the stone: UNION STATION TERMINAL RAILROAD ASSOCIATION THEODORE C.

It's very fascinating-we've tried, so we can guarantee it'II work! There is nothing inside the station to carry out the castle idea. The place is filled with hurrying red caps, and bored travelers, patiently waiting for their particular train to remove them. Large sign boards proclaim a great many unintelligible things, numbers with such headings as Track No.- , On Time , and Made Up . Undoubtedly, one must be initiated into the art of understanding such things. A certain obliging person has placed shops, restaurants, and candy stores in our station. The things he sells are very fascinating, too--try tearing your- self away from the book shop, or from the toy shop where there is a most delightful Teddy Bear which has the astounding ability of eating crackers. I-Iave you noticed the oil painting over the east drinking fountain upstairs? Probably not, since most of the second floor is devoted to such prosaic things as- Pullman reservations. I-Iowever, for your information, it's a rather vague picture of a duck hunt, in case you're ever looking for one. Thirty-six Besides all these wonders which we ferreted out all by ourselves, we succeeded in coaxing from the station-master the fact that Union Station covers more ground than any other station in the United States. This includes the tracks and umbrella lines. fwe dicln't want to display our ignorance by asking what they were-just use your imaginationll North, South, East, West+all do their bit in contributing to the hurry and bustle.

Jean Tholc Thirty-seven STEAMBOAT RACING TODAY RINGING once again almost-forgotten glamor to the mighty Father of Waters, the proposed steamboat race scheduled for next spring will focus the interest of the entire nation on the Mississippi. 1 A local steamer, The City of St. Louis, will race a Pacific coast boat from the Sacramento River for a purse of i pl0,000 and the glory of breaking the time-honored record of the Robert E. Lee, which was established in l870. Conceived by the owner of a local packet company, this revival of the sport which was so much in vogue during the pre-Civil War period will pit a modern coal-burning steamer, The City of St. Louis, and an oil-burner against the Lee's record. The start, as in the old days, will be at New Orleans and the finish at the foot of Washington Avenue, here in St. Louis-. The boats, both of the stern-wheel type, will be stripped of all unnecessary equip- ment in order to give speed. Only the skeleton crew will be carried, together with a few newspaper men as passengers. Even stops to refuel will be unnecessary as the boats will take on fuel while on the run by tying barges to their sides and transferring the fuel while they steam onward. Plans have been made to recondition The City of St. Louis with new boilers and to remove all parts which might add weight, and replace them with new metal alloy parts. Reminiscent of the old days is the preparation through which the boats will pass before the racing date. Large sums were spent and larger amounts were bet on these races formerlyg and from all indications, this race will be no exception although it is over three-quarters of a century removed from that period. The record of the Robert E, Lee established in the memorable race with the Natchez may be shattered by the modern boats. According to army engineers, the changes in the river's course since l870 has appreciably shortened the distance. The Lee left New Orleans on Thursday, June 30, l870, and arrived in St. Louis on July 4, three days, eighteen hours and fourteen minutes out of New Orleans and six hours and thirty-six minutes ahead of the Natchez. Local interest, of course, will run high, as the almost forgotten sport of steamboat racing is once more revived in all its glory. The river's course will be lined with people to see the boats pass, and the climax will probably be reached here in St. Louis, for the boats are equally matched, and the race may be undecided until the last minute. So some time next spring the long-dead shout of Steamboat 'round the bend! may once again echo along the river banks and the thrilling spectacle of two giant white swans gliding gracefully up the river will arouse in many the excitement felt by our grandparents as they, too, watched boats striving for the glory of the river.

LOUIS 1' t LITTLE over four years have passed since the railroad industry pro- K, kai. . . . . . duced its current pride and Joy, the stream-lined tram. When men L X set to work designing the modern rail giant, they had a dual purpose in mi d: the saving of unnecessary operating expenses for the railroads, and, even more important, giving passengers a distinctive change in travel. Many had grown tired of the uninviting railroad coaches with their lack of color and cheeriness. To meet their demands for better equipment, the railroad industry produced a smooth-running, smooth-working, smooth-looking train, aptly named the stream-liner. Although the pioneer models were trains smaller in length and size of equipment than their old-fashioned brothers, many stream-liners of today are being built of standard size. Two principal types of motive power are used: one, the steam-locomotive dressed up in a new suit of clothes, and the other, a stream-lined Diesel engine. The stream-lined train of today has filled its chief purpose to a remark- able degree. The many passengers of America hail it as the railroad's great- est achievement. ln designing the stream-liner railroad men did wisely in changing the outside appearance of the train. For many years passengers had ridden in coaches that, while appearing comfortable enough in the interior, had not been very attractive from the outside. Since the travelers first viewed the iron horse from the exterior, designers decided that they would take a big stride toward modernism and change the old style colors. The new coaches range from the color of glistening stainless steel, to bright blue, red, and gold. Removal of all unnecessarily exposed parts of the locomotive and coaches was next. Probably the easiest and first way to identify a true stream-liner is by the absence of the observation platform: in its place is a boat-tailed rear coach, that is, a coach with a rounded end. This serves two purposes: it greatly reduces the air drag and is more pleasing to the eye of the traveler. Realizing that most passengers travel second-class, the railroads gave the second-class traveler on the new train more for his ticket: for great care was taken to make the interior of the cars pleasing. At the same time, cars to be occupied by first-class travelers were carefully planned and constructed. Attractive sleeping cars and dining cars were built, and all cars on the new trains are supplied with one of the greatest assets to railroad travel-air conditioning. Many lines in the country, besides having the customary porter service on the stream-liners, added one more feature, borrowed from the airplane, stewardess-nurse service. The only thing to be considered next was speed: and today every stream- lined train is capable of traveling over one hundred miles per hour. Since St. Louis is the second American city of importance as a railroad terminal, surpassed only by Chicago, it could not be long before at least one stream-liner came to the Mound City. lndeed, in the early part of I935, a F orty-one standard size, stream-lined train began operating on a daily round trip schedule between St. Louis and Chicago, requiring five and one-half hours each way: this time was soon reduced to four hours and fifty-five minutes. The new style iron horse so pleased traveling St. Louisans, that today there are seven stream-lined trains using this city as a terminal. Two of them operate between St. Louis and Kansas City, Missouri, three between St. Louis and Chicago, one between St. Louis and Burlington, iowa. The stream-liner has, for a time at least, made new jobs for scores of designers, builders, and decorators. And last, but most important, it has broken the monotony for the traveler, especially for those compelled to travel frequently because of business interests, and has made traveling more enjoyable.

Doris XVard Forty-Iwo HIGHWAYS THROUGH ST. LOUIS HERE are five U S Highways four Missouri State Highways, and six County Highways passing through St. Louis. xiii! - ' . 'N U S Highway 67 comes from the south It is a four-lane highway from the junction of Missouri State Highway 25, about ,twenty-nine miles south of St. Louis, to the City Limits. Route 67 enters the city on Virginia Avenue, goes east on Davis Street to Broadway, north on Broadway to Seventh Street, and across the Municipal Bridge north through Alton. By-pass 67 branches off Route 67 about three miles south of the City Limits and follows U. S. 61 west of the city on Lindbergh Drive to St. Charles Rock Road, where By-pass 67 leaves U. S. 61 and proceeds alone along Lindbergh Drive across the Lewis and Clark Bridges to Alton and rejoins Route 67. Route 67 carries to and from the city sixty-two hundred passenger cars per day and eleven hundred per day in commercial trafhc. lts maximum trafiic is sixteen thousand, six hundred cars per day. The passenger and commercial traffic counts are based on a yearly twenty-four hour per day average. The maximum is the total twenty-four hour per day average on Sundays in the summer. U. S. Highway 61 joins U. S. 67 about eighty-three miles south of St. Louis. It leaves U. S. 67 about three miles south of the City Limits and proceds on Lindbergh Drive west of St. Louis to the present U. S. 40 at St. Charles Rock Road. Then it goes northwest through St. Charles. U. S. Highway 50 and 66 join in Franklin County near Union, Missouri, and continue together in a three-lane highway to Gray's Summit, where Route 66 leaves the old right of way and comes through Pacific and Eureka to U. S. 61 over three lanes of concrete. U. S. 66 follows U. S. 6l north to St. Charles Rock Road and then east across the Chain of Rocks Bridge. From U. S. 61, City Route 66, sometimes called Optional 66, continues to the City Limits over four lanes of concrete. It enters the city on Watson Road and continues to Chippewa Street, thence to Gravois Avenue, and across the Municipal Bridge. It carries five thousand, eight hundred ninety- two cars per day in passenger trafhc, nine hundred thirty-six cars per day in commercial traffic, and fourteen thousand, three hundred cars per day as a maximum. U. S. 50 follows Old Manchester Road from Gray's Summit over a two- lane road to U. S. 66 and 61, and then over a four-lane road to the City Limitsg it enters the city on Manchester Avenue, continues down Chouteau Avenue, and across the Municipal Bridge. City Route 50 branches from Route 50 north along North and South Road to Clayton Road, east on Clayton Road to the Express Highway, thence to Market Street and joins Route 50 before crossing the Municipal Bridge. U. S. 50 carries to and from the city eighty-four hundred cars per day in passenger trafhc, one thousand fifty in commercial trafiic, and a maximum of fifteen thousand, three hundred fifty cars per day. U. S. 40 now operates from the City Limits at Page to a point a short distance past Ferguson and over a connection to St. Charles Rock Road to Forty-three St. Charles. This road is forty feet wide to a point about four miles from the St. Charles Bridgeg but when the present work on the St. Charles Bridge is completed, the forty foot pavement will probably be extended to the bridge. U. S. 40 in the city follows Page Boulevard to Sheridan, thence to Cass, thence to Twelfth and across the Municipal Bridge. By-pass 40 follows U. S. 66 east across the Chain of Rocks Bridge and rejoins U. S. 40 in Troy, Illinois. U. S. 40 carries to and from the city eleven thousand, four hundred sixty-six cars per day of passenger traffic, one thousand, eight hundred twenty-six in commercial traffic, and twenty-six thousand, four hundred cars per day as a maximum. From Wentzville, a trafhc relief route for U. S. 40 has been constructed southeastwardly over a new bridge across the Missouri River near Weldon Springs. From there it continues by a four-lane road to a point near Bellefontaine in St. Louis County and is routed over Olive Street Road to the City Limits. This route is marked Missouri State High- way 340. There is under construction a four-lane road from Bellefontaine to the City Limits on Clayton Road which will eventually feed U. S. 40 traffic to the Express Highway. This will be the highest type road constructed in the State of Missouri. The Municipal Bridge carries to and from St. Louis eighteen thousand, six hundred seventy-two cars per day of passenger traffic, six thousand, nine hundred ninety-nine cars per day in commercial traffic, and twenty-eight thousand, seven hundred eighty as a maximum. St. Louis County has received its share of money from the State Highway Department for what are known as supplementary roads. A good system of connecting highways has been set up and, as funds are available from time to time, there will develop a system of intermediate roads for traffic generally. BIBLIOGRAPHY AND SOURCE OF DATA Traffic counts were obtained from Traffic Map of Missouri prepared by the Missouri State Highway Department in cooperation with the U. S. Depart- ment of Agriculture Bureau of Public Roads, data for which was obtained from State-Wide Highway Planning Survey, I936. See also Road Map, Missouri State Highway Commission dated January l, l938. Data as to lanes, proposed routes, etc., was obtained through the courtesy of Mr. Charles H. Diel, Progress Council, 2130 Railway Exchange Building. PAUL S. NEUHOFF 'O A 'tp,3 Acrlfjj, fi Y. 5 213' T1 Forty-four Courtesy c1fS!. l.viu.x ffhun1bi'rofComm0rcu THE EXPRESS HIGHWAY ml JULY, l934, construction of a 33,000,000 Express Highway, I planned to be one of the safest roads in the United States, was begun in St. Louis. This highway is especially designed for speeclg it has no intersections, no parked cars, and no pedestrians. Motorists may drive through the heart of the city on an east-west line without delay. Further- more, the highway gives a good cross-section of the surrounding territory to the trans-St. Louis tourist traffic. Let us imagine that we are part of this tourist trafhc just entering St. Louis from Highway 50 by way of the new Express Highway. We shall soon see that the big and beautiful are displayed in profusion, while the unlovely is in most cases obscured. Approaching from the west, we see large domes before we cross Skinker Boulevard on our way through Forest Park. On the left, as we enter, is a hne wooded area. Our route carries us past the Arena, Forest Park Highlands, the old aviation field, Walsh Stadium, and the beautiful artificial lake in which are mirrored large West End hotels and hospitals, and beneath a series of modernistically designed grade separations. The view changes when we cross underneath Kingshighway and enter the newest stretch of the road between Kingshighway and Vandeventer. Here the road level is well below that of the adjacent semi-industrial area, with high retaining walls on each side along much of the snake-like route. Leaving the permanent super-highway and getting on to Vandeventer, we are given a brief view of the city's meat-packing industry. We see the teeming Mill Creek Valley with its smoke-plumed chimneys reaching skyward, and the railroad yards from Market Street. We also pass Union Station, the Plaza area with its new city and government buildings, and finally we enter the downtown area. Now that we have a bird's-eye view of the Express Highway, some interesting facts may make the picture clearer. The construction funds, a Forty-Hue sum of fl5l,000,000, were contributed by the State Highway Department from the Federal appropriations for road building. The city gave the right of way through Forest Park and spent about s750,000 acquiring ground for the Vandeventer-Kingshighway section. The highway is fifty feet wide in most places and has five lanes. The edges of the center ten-foot lane are marked with broad strips of concrete, much whiter than the rest of the surface, to keep east and west vehicular movements in their respective twenty-foot sections with the center lane free for passing. Sloping curbs at the edges of the surface are made of the same lighter concrete as the center lane strips. There are forty-three sodium vapor lamps, one hundred and sixty-five feet apart, along the three-mile route. These lamps are specially designed to give intense illumination without glare. Previously, motorists could drive at a higher speed than the city speed limit for only small sections on Routes 77 and 99. Now motorists are able to reach a speed of forty-five on the one mile stretch between Kingshighway and Vandeventer. Today a machine can traverse from Vandeventer to Skinker in six minutes and forty-eight seconds at thirty miles per hour. Aside from these advantages, the highway includes many notable features. There are six crossings. There is the pedestrian bridge opposite the Arena with two sets of covered steps on the Oakland Avenue side. Opposite Forest Park is a pedestrian underpass, eighteen feet below ground and lined with white tile. Between Walsh Stadium and the Police Station is another pedes- trian underpass, and at Macklind Avenue, near the riding stables, is an asphalt paved equestrian tunnel. The most elaborate crossing is the Hampton Boulevard cloverleaf grade separation, designed to permit traffic to go on or off in any direction without any left turns. It connects Hampton, the Express Highway, Clayton Avenue, and Wells Drive near the Zoo. The most complicated and beautiful bridge was built for Kingshighway and has a Hfty-five foot span. A very pretentious structure is the Chouteau Avenue viaduct, which, including approaches, is forty-five feet high, one thousand and forty-flve feet long, and has a forty-two foot roadway. At first, construction of the highway was retarded by labor troubles and winter weather, but it progressed rapidly during the summer. All the tunnels were successfully built low enough to pass under a five foot water-main from Howard's Bend Water Works, but when cuts were made for the sunken roadbed, the water table was tapped in several places. Water trickled from the sloping sides on to the roadbed, forming ice several inches thick where there were no drains. The difficulty has been removed by draining the spring. ln spite of all difficulties, today the Oakland Avenue Express Highway, ranging from fifty feet to seventy feet wide, stands a magnificent structure of which all St. Louis may be justly proud.

Jeannette Hoelscher One Hundred Five OLD BLACK CROW A g A WHAT S Old Man Woods takin' Molly-? 1333 I didn t say mumbled Jim. as ' ' Shut up! was the angry retort. 2:35 .. . , .- You have your mouth open so much you're liable to freeze your tongue! interrupted Pa the second time. What was the matter with Pa? Jim only wanted to know where the neighbor was taking his old horse. He called it his, because he always drove the old mare, plowing, delivering milk, going after the mail, riding to school fwhen he wentl, he was always with her. She and Rover were the only real friends he had on the farm. Oh, yes, the Old Black Crow that cawed at him every morning, but he didn't understand Jim as the dog and Molly did. His mother would have been his chief friend, but she had died four years ago, when he was nine. just before she died, she made him promise to be a man, to do what Pa said, and not to fight with Billy Stone--oh, how he despised that boy! He had kept most of the promise so far. But he had hit Billy in the nose once, and now he just didn't see how he could continue keeping his promise to his mother, since Pa was acting queer again. The boy sulked reluctantly toward the chicken-house. He had a lot of work to do before dusk, but his feet lingered at the pecan tree. It was a beautiful, well-shaped tree with branches spreading out in all directions, the highest of which was seventy or eighty feet above the ground, Several large nuts had fallen to the ground, and Jim stooped to pick one up. He looked at it admiringly, placed it on a flat stone, and prepared to put a heel lightly down on it. just as his heel started to crack the thin shell, there was a loud cawing from the branches above. The lad looked up, and there was perched the sleek black crow, fat as the old drake on Will Raines' farm, gazing at him with an inquisitive eye. Boy stared at crow, crow stared with a merry eye at boy. Jim was the first to look away. He jumped up, slipped the nut into the pocket of his overalls, and ran to the chicken-house. The chickens flocked around him as he entered. Jim got a bucket of corn, and threw it all around, calling the stray hens with a loud Chick, chick! He gathered the eggs, but the, small basket was scarcely filled, there were only twenty-three eggs. Those hens had better get busy, or else--! But what did he care, he wouldn't be there long to check up on them. What was he saying? Wouldn't be there long? Say, that was an idea: he LUOuIdn't be there long! He planned it all out in his mind: Jim Harver would run away. He would take Two-Tone, his father's handsome, young, spirited saddle-horse, ride as far as he could in the dark, and rest during the day. October shone royally on the day of ,Iim's departure. The brown beech- woods and golden birches glowed. Banks of clouds hung low in the west. ln a few minutes the sun would touch them. Jim spurred Two-Tone into a gallop and whistled to Rover. The poor dog followed as best he could, some- times lagging far behind, but usually running hard to keep up with the swift steed. Gradually the horse, urged no longer, slowed to an easy trot. The One Hundred Six boy rode in a leisurely manner, thinking of where he would stop. There was a beautiful place, deep in the Big Red Woods, where boy and beasts would be sheltered if it should rain. It was rapidly growing dark, so Jim urged Two- Tone into a canter. The trio reached the desired spot just as darkness fell. The saddle was slipped off and hung on a low branch. The boy quickly kindled a fire, and the horse wandered off to crop what grass he could find. Rover explored the territory until the boy called him. He came running back and fairly swallowed the piece of cornbread which Jim had taken from his pocket and begged for more, but the lad retained for himself one small piece. He munched alternately on the cornbread and a beautiful, large apple, eating slowly, not in gulps as the dog did, for he realized that it would ease his hunger to make the food last. Glowing embers only were left of the fire when Jim decided to get some sleep. He intended to wait until the next evening to travel on. He would see what birds and small animals he could bag the next day with his little twenty-two. Leaning against a gigantic oak, he watched the red embers slowly die. Jim Harver awoke early the next morning, and searched for food. He managed to shoot two small squirrels, which in spite of his crude methods of cooking, were delicious. Jim ate until he was full, giving the remaining bits to Rover. He then went to a nearby brook to wash his face and hands. This wild life wasn't so bad after all! He looked up from his image in the water and saw a young rabbit across the brook. Jim rose silently, and slipped gently back to his camping place to get his gun. He returned by a circuitous route in order not to frighten the little creature. He now had a perfect side view of it and leveled his little rifle as the animal bowed to drink. The lad stepped gently on a small twig, the rabbit's head came up, jim took perfect aim, and shot. He rushed forward but was halted by a robust, Hey, there! He turned to see a huge man striding toward him. He had been unconscious of the fact that he was poaching on the notorious Farmer Ryan's demesne. He had not seen much of the farmer before, but he had heard plenty about him. Havin' good sport, me lad? Ryan asked. Why, yes, l just shot a rabbit. 'iOh! Farmer Ryan gave an admonitory slap of the strap he held in his hand. That rabbit's mine! Now you jest hand it over. Jim lifted his head and retorted defiantly, I will not! The man bent up his brows, Why, you young scoundrel! l know you! And he became exceedingly opprobrious and contemptuous in regard to the name of Harver. The farmer took a wide swing with his thick, leather strap at the boy. Jim tried to get near the rogue, but Ryan kept his distance and lashed without mercy and flung abusive epithets at the lad. He then hit the boy in the face with his palm, knocking him down. The man threw up his chin, and grinned grimly. Jim shook his gun, You big brute! I'd have shot you, if it'd been loaded. The brute marched briskly away. Jim picked himself slowly up. He thought of the names he had been calumniously called. He reloaded his rifle. One Hundred Seven Luckily, very luckily, he delayed an instant, the farmer was out of sight. jim slowly turned and limped away to his fire. The saddle was gone! He whistled and called loudly for Two-Tone, then searched, but even after fifteen minutes of hunting, he found no trace of the horse. Poor Jim sat down and began to cry-he couldn't help itg he cried himself to sleep. A little fellow, a queer sort of creature, walked briskly up to him. He was quite clark, this ten-inch creature, in fact, his hair was as black as the old crow's wing. His harsh voice sounded very much like cawing: Hi, there, boy! Gi, me that cracked pee-can in yore pocket, there! Jim felt bewildered, but slid his hand into his pocket. How did the midget know the nut was there? The boy handed the pecan to the elf-like man. 'iOkayg now tell me what you are doin' here. The lad proceeded to tell the little creature all his troubles: his father's cruelty to him, his running away, Farmer Ryan's whipping, and the disappear- ance of the saddle and of Two-Tone. ,!im's eyes were glistening with tears when he had finished. Oh, take it easy, little boy, l got troubles, too. There's a boy just like you, at the farm where I hang out, who thinks I don't like him. But, l do, an' l try everythin' to make him understand me, but he won't. He just throws at me and chases me away. How can l make him understand me and like me? ul don't know. Maybe you just think he c!oesn't like you. Maybe when he throws rocks at you, he's just playing. He really likes you, l bet. The little fellow perked up. Yore pa's the same way, too, I reckon. He ain't mean like Farmer Ryan. He was prob'ly just nervous 'cause sumpin' was goin' to happen. You'll find out when you get home. An', by the way, l saw yore horse trottin' off that way, he added, pointing. That's toward home, exclaimed the boy. You'll go back, won't you? Please-for me. Y-yes, answered the boy slowly. Rover barked, and Jim woke to see a crow fly from the tree over his head out of sight. jim Harver walked into the house in the late afternoon. He slipped quietly into the kitchen to see what he could get to eat. His father was standing in the doorway. My boy, my son! Gosh, Pa, you mean you aren't-mad at me? How could l be? Your new mother wouldn't let me? New mother? A pretty lady of about thirty stepped into the room. Gee, so that's what that little guy meant! I like you! came from Jim's lips. The boy ran to the stable, and sure enough, there were Molly and Two- Tone. He strutted happily toward the chicken-house. He heard a loud cawing above him, and a large, cracked pecan fell at his feet. It was the Old Black Crow again. He had five real friends now, instead of two. THOMAS PURDOIV! One Hundred Eight SHIRLEY if-7 q, XCEPT for the fact that the horse was smaller he was very much like iii? . ' . the other four. All had smooth, silky coats, and big eyes, and noses gg-24 as soft as velvet But to Shirley he was the most beautiful thing in the world, and all the others were completely overshadowed by him. Timidly she reached out a tentative hand and touched the silky back. All Camp Nenaka crowded around the big trucks that had brought the horses and read the big letters on the side of each one. The name Berkley was already familiar to the eager-faced little girls, for they had talked of nothing else since the day the exciting news had reached them. Horses- real horses!-to be ridden in trembling pride down the one sufficiently wide path Camp Nenaka boasted. So many lovely things had been given to the thirty-five little campers since there had been that story about them in the biggest newspaper in New York. After reading the account of the three dozen tenement children who were sent each summer to Camp Nenaka for a whole month, a great many generous people had sent money and gifts to the girls, but the loan of five riding-horses for the entire summer was, in their opinion, the best gift of all. The only horses with which these children had been acquainted were those sad beasts which drew the rattling milk wagons. Now finally the great day had arrived. With two grooms and a stable boy, the five exalted beasts had made their entrance, and were, at last, part of the beloved camp life. Shirley was eleven years old. Having spent all that time in a crowded New York tenement, she was small for her age, and thin. Her red hair hung ungracefully around her face, framing Shirley's only beauty, her eyes. This was her first summer at Nenaka, and she had spent the first days in whole- hearted adoration of the camp, the counselors, and the girls. Timidly she loved everything and everyone, but her bashfulness prevented her showing it. But here, at last, was something on which her affection could be lavished without shyness, and from which she could expect love in return. From the moment he had been led from the truck, Buttons was hers, and she never doubted that simple fact. She made allowances for the fact that since there were only five horses for the thirty-five girls, Buttons would have to suffer himself to be ridden by other campers, too, but it would be Shirley for whom he would behave best. Although this monopoly was merely a product of Shirley's energetic imagination, most of it, surprisingly enough, became a fact. She devoted herself to him from the first, and soon Buttons came to welcome her daily visits and occasional gifts of sugar, or an apple saved from dinner. He was quick to recognize and obey the faltering signals that she learned to give, and very patiently permitted her to struggle in mounting him, and hold the reins incorrectly or too tightly, although his intolerance with the rest of beginners was much greater than that of the other horses. Shirley's assertion of her proprietorship was accepted as a definite fact by the girls-even those who scoffed at first were soon convinced by her undeniable control over the horse. And with this growing respect came a loss of shyness for Shirley-and a feeling of importance. One Hundred Nine One day, in accordance with a long-cherished plan, Shirley approached the aloof, young stable boy. How-how much does a horse cost? One like these?,' she queried. Scornfully the boy looked down on Shirley, her brow puckered in con- centration, her round face hopeful and anxious. How was she to know that some unkind Fate had just submitted the stable boy to a long lecture on carelessness, and that now he regarded the world as unfair? No instinct told the trusting little girl that his answer was not entirely sincere. Oh, about ten dollars, he answered, thinking of the thoroughbreds in his charge, and visualizing the many ribbons and awards they were destined to win in the future. But Shirley paid no more attention to the grinning boy. She had found out what she would need to have to acquire what she Wanted more than anything else in the world. But to her, even the ten dollars was an enormous sum. The long hours spent in minding extraordinarily disagreeable babies seemed only a means to an end as she thought of them, but when camp was over and they became a reality, she regd that picking up toys and amlising a spoiled child was hard work. But it was not the difficulty of the task so much as it was the fact that jobs of this kind-the only kind a little girl could get -were very few and far between. Mothers seemed reluctant to entrust their babies to a child of eleven, and those who did would pay only twenty-five or thirty cents for a long evening. But with Buttons as her goal, and memories of his sleek brownness and soft eyes, Shirley kept determinedly at her self-appointed task all winter. Only the assurance that with ten dollars in the carefully concealed cheese-box which served as a bank could Buttons be hers kept Shirley patient and willing to plead for the scant quarters so reluctantly bestowed. Shirley was old enough to realize that keeping a horse in the tiny, dingy apartment in which she lived was an impossibility. But with characteristic determination, she classed this as merely another obstacle to be surmounted, and after a long search and a great deal of persuading, she succeeded in obtaining the promise of an unused garage room, to be occupied by Buttons on the last day of July, when, she assured herself, she would bring him proudly home. This year Shirley counted each moment until camp would start for the summer, and she would see Buttons again. It was not until the last week that she earned the final fifty cents to complete the sum which seemed to her so huge. But when she clambered on the bus bound for Nenaka, she clutched the money fstill in quarters and dimes and nickelsj carefully wrapped in a handkerchief and packed tightly into a small box. She kept feeling the package to assure herself that soon Buttons would be her very own, and, as the miles were left behind, she was hardly able to control her excitement. As soon as she could slip away from friends and counselors, Shirley hurried to the shed where the horses were kept. Bursting through the door, she thrust the packet of money toward the first man she saw, crying shrilly, For Buttons-for Buttons! I-le's mine now! One Hundred Ten The bewildered man was unable to understand the exclamations and the box. With Shirley happily following him, he went in search of the groom who had been with the horses the previous summer. Slightly more calm by this time, Shirley was able to explain that in the box was ten dollars, for which she was to receive Buttons. 'Tm buying him, you see, she explained confidently. With a short laugh the man handed the package to Shirley. Buttons? Why, little girl, Buttons isn't here at all. Mr. Berkley is using him for his own kids at their summer home now. Besides, with a mile-long pedigree like that there animal-why, fifty times that money wouldn't buy him. Run on now. And the man turned away. Shirley looked at the money in her hand. Slowly she left the stable without stopping to pat the other horses, oblivious of the hired man, who sensed, in small measure, her disappointment. He watched the little figure as head held high, Shirley rounded the bend in the path. Shaking his head, the man closed the stable door.

Concealed within each heart a hope has grown, Long smothered by despondency and fear: Till autumn makes each proud ambition known, Renewing life and loves and hope and cheer. Behold!

For kindred hearts beat high with friendly zeal, And God helps man to say that life is real. Betty Courtwright THE CALL Happiness stands on the hilltops, Beckoning to me.

Robert Austin Bergs THE WINGS IN THE NIGHT ' qs li N i897 the rush for the precious yellow metal had brought thou- Qifg sands of fortune seekers, adventurers, and capitalists to Alaska, chiefly to the Yukon Valley. Small towns sprang up immediately, some near and some miles apart. As the fields were developed, many of the smaller towns disappeared, their inhabitants either moving to other towns or returning home. The small town of Pine Ridge was one of those which had remained, its one hundred inhabi- tants working in a nearby gold mine. It was one of the coldest nights of the winter. This evening the small cabin was in the grip of the first snowstorm of the season. The entire moun- tain lay in the thick white blanket of Mother Nature's own design. Night was closing down. Old Doctor lVlcVey and his two nephews, Fred and Al lVlcVey, were just finishing supper when the telephone rang. The doctor left the table and went into an outer room, while the two boys began their regular evening game of checkers. Scarcely had they started their game when the doctor returned, removed his coat from a small closet in one corner of the room, and began to lace up his very large boots. What's up, Uncle? spoke up Fred. Another case of diphtheria, replied the doctor. Boys, he said, 'ithere are forty cases in Pine Ridge at the present time. Can we help in any way? asked Al. No, l'm afraid that even I can do very little about it unless we get the anti-toxin from the States. It was to be sent seven days ago. It should have reached here before now, but l'm afraid there is little hope in weather like this. The old doctor put on his coat and hat and left the cabin. The boys knew well that very little hope for the diphtheria-stricken people of the small town was left: and also that there was nothing they could do even if the serum should arrive in time. For the doctor had cautioned them to stay away from the stricken district. The boys finished their checker game and drank hot coffee which Fred prepared. They had come to visit their uncle, not only for the vacation, but also for the tidy sum which they made each year from the furs of wild animals which were very abundant in the neighborhood. They visited their traps about this time every night, Fred suggested they make their rounds immedi- ately so that they could sleep late the next morning. After a little deliberation, the two boys, bundled in warm clothing, left the cabin. Toby, a police dog, followed after them. The distance to their first trap was about a half mile. As the boys trudged on, they saw the light of the cabin grow dim in the distance behind them, and then become entirely obscured by the tall trees about it. The boys entered the patch of timber, and each one went about his duty of inspection. They had inspected and rebaited only a few traps, when Toby began to act strangely. l-le cocked his head, listened, and made little whimpering sounds. nl thought I heard something, said Al. For a moment both boys stood and listened. One Hundred Fifteen UlVlust have been the wind, said Fred. UNO! It is some one, Al. l heard a peculiar sound. It came again-faint, far, almost drowned by the wind. At that instant Toby left with the wind. Hello-o-oh there! Fred cupped his hands and shouted. Silence. Only the howling of the wind. Slipping and stumbling, often waist-deep in drifts, the boys made their way to the other side of the timber, calling as they went. We have lost the soundg may as well go back, decided Al. Then Toby came back panting and eager. Wait for us, boy, Al called as he grabbed him by the collar. Lead us on, Toby. The boys went on, crossed a little ravine, and came upon an open field. There they saw on the snow a giant, dark shadow. An airplane! Surprised, the boys darted toward the snow-covered ship. They had trouble extricating the pilot, who was semiconscious and half-frozen, but a little coffee from Fredis thermos flask revived him. I-I have serum for diphtheria for Pine Ridge, the man told them with difficulty. Then he lapsed into unconsciousness. mlqhe anti-toxin! Fred and Al exchanged glances. This was the serum needed by Doctor lVlcVey. The pilot had attempted to land in what he had supposed to be a clearing large enough for a Held, and, in doing so, he had severed a wing from the plane. He had become lost and was forced to remain in his plane. Now he was almost frozen. The boys wasted no time in reviving the almost-frozen pilot. Tom offered more coffee from his thermos bottle and soon the pilot was able to speak again. He explained the situation to the boys. and then the boys began to work, and to work fast. When the boys offered to help the pilot to their cabin, he opened a small compartment in the rear of the plane and brought out the serum. This, he said, His far more important. Nevertheless, the boys helped the pilot to their home. Fred put a few coals on the fire while Al got their sled, and then both boys returned to the plane. As soon as the boys had lifted the heavy case from the plane and onto the sled, they hurried to Pine Ridge, three miles away. The doctor had just finished arranging his young patient in a comfortable position. He turned to the boy's mother who stood on the other side of the room, tears streaming down her face. For an instant neither said a word. Then the doctor spoke, lf only we could do something. This constant waiting is unbearable. Scarcely had the doctor finished speaking when he heard a noise outside. He opened the door to see Fred and Al coming towards the house, carrying the case of precious serum. The only words they heard him say were, Thank heaven, it came in time! LAWRENCE DEMPSEY w One Hundred Sixteen THE LIPS HAVE IT .5 GRACE MCTOVISH was a comical little runt, short, stout, and near- sighted, with no humor at all, which is comical, too, considering the Scotch that was in him. Horace was the bookkeeper, and general secretary of the Acme Detective Bureau. l was just pounding the pavements here in town with a high-sounding, but meaningless title of investigator tagged to me. l couldn't take a job like Horace's. Why, no, l was a dyed-in-the-wool sleuth, tracking down jewel thieves and arson mobsters-or trying to. Right then it was jewel thieves-endeavoring to pin the goods on Spot Giginoli and his hoodlums, and send them hiking up the river for a twenty-year stretch. If we didn't do it soon, we'd be hiking also, looking for a new job. Spots was a slick article-as cagey as a fox. He ruled the rackets with an iron hand and was suspected of about every crime in the book. But he had yet to squint in the glare of the lights at police line-up or be finger- printed and photographed. He was one of those ugly beings who had been born in the slums and had fought his way along the crime trail to a pent- house on the Avenue. But it was from a lofty building, which he owned in the midtown section, that he pulled the racket strings and made the underworld characters dance. We tried several ways to get evidence to convict him, but they failed. We couldn't put a dictaphone in his place, or do any eavesdropping, since his office was soundproof, and there were always some of his henchmen parading the corridors. Tapping his telephone wires wouldn't work, as he never used the telephone to discuss ubusiness matters. We were all in the boss's ofiice-every investigator of the Bureau, when Horace lVlcTovish knocked timidly on the door. Come in, barked the boss, chewing his cigar and scowling. He wasn't in the mood for interruption. Horace stepped into the big, smoke-filled office, blinked and squinted through his heavy-lenses. Well, well, what is it, Mr. Mc-McTosh? Mr. Kent wanted to know, scowling more darkly than before. Horace said his name was lVlcTovish, not lVlcTosh, but he drew himself up to his full height, which wasn't much at best, and began in his usual manner, ul believe l can get you the evidence necessary to convict Spots Giginoli. l'd like your authorization to try. l nearly swallowed the cigarette l was smoking. It was so very, very comical-the very thought of the thing! Horace trapping Spots-getting the evidence on him when every crack investigator of the Acme, and even the G-men, had failed. It was incredible. Go ahead, Mr. lVlcTosh, exclaimed the boss. Go ahead by all means. Initiative is what l like to see, and you have demonstrated you possess it. Thank you, sir, said Horace, and made a hurried exit. The next day l bumped into Horace in front of the building from which Spots conducted his trade. He was holding tight to the arm of a big, towering lady with a pince-nez. One Hundred Seuenreen Schultz, he said, I'd like to have you meet Miss Witchwood,', and then, Hepzibah, this is Mr. Schultz, one of our investigators. Miss Witchwood teaches at St. lVlark's, Horace informed me, hurriedly. We are reconnoitering, Mr. Schultz, she declared in a voice of supreme authority. And when our recoinnaissance has been completed, we shall proceed to beard Mr. Giginoli. Now, she went on, addressing Horace and ignoring me altogether, this Spots has his office on the thirtieth floor, does he not, at the southwest corner? That's correct, Hepzibahf' Horace told her. Well, then, she continued, we must ascend the building which abuts this one at the rear if we are to accomplish our purpose speedily. Good bye, Mr. Schultz. Then and there l determined to let the business of the Bureau slide for the time and satisfy my curiosity. l wanted to discover what the pedagogic Hepzibah was up to. l shadowed them for several days. Once l found them seated on two soap boxes in an empty ofhce. Hepzibah had a pair of binoculars leveled on Spot's ofhce, fifty feet away and one Floor down in the opposite building. A few days later all the investigators and Horace were gathered together in the boss's office. Men , said Mr. Kent, we are going to get Giginoli and his mob tonight. Mr. Mcilqosh has given us the lead we needed. The police have been notified. They'll be on hand to help you out. l didn't believe a word of it. It was too fantastic. How could short, stout, near-sighted Horace lVlcTovish have secured the evidence on Spots when all the rest of us had failed, even the G-men? But he had just the same. For we arrested Spots and four of his henchmen that night. But still l didn't understand it. It didn't seem possible that it could be true. So l sought out Horace. Give me the low-down, I said. How in the blazes could you have possibly known what Spots was planning? There wasn't a dictaphone in the place. His offices are soundproof, and he never discussed business over the telephone. Horace shook his head sadly, and said, You'll remember, Schultz, that l told you Miss Witchwood teaches at St. Marks What's that got to do with it? I demanded. What's school teaching got to do with it? Hilust this, Schultz: St. lVlark's is a school for the deaf. Hepzibah teaches lip-reading. He didn't have to say any more. l had all the answers then. l knew then why Hepzibah's pedagogic sleuthing had called for the use of a pair of binoculars.

LEONARD WIEDERSHINE One Hundred Eighteen LITTLE SPINSTRESS Little spinster maiden, By the fireside you sit And spin all day long, By the cottage door a hound is bellowing To the tune of your song. Your busy feet beat time with the wheel: Whz'le your skillful, dexterous Hngers Spin the flax to thread. Your blue eyes so like two little stars Dance to the rhythm of your song. Through the window of that cottage Plays a jeweled sunbeam Upon your golden, gleaming hair. Little spinstress! little spinstress! How well you spin! Gertrude XVendling MISCONCEPTION I saw a humming bird one day Poised o'er a petalg And as I watched him Hit away Then hurry back and settle Upon his favorite flower, said I, This is a beauteous creature. KVith wings and breast and seeing eye, So trim and smart of feature. But then I quickly moved away. He, at my move, grew frightened And vanished as a brilliant ray Of sun his body brightenedg And this last glimpse that I received, Sufficed me to discover That though I thought him red and green, He was one solid color. Billa Jones K. 1 WMV x QQ-N Q, x d i ? L u, T One Hundred Nineteen THE DUST STORM i- 1 HERE was something in the air! Since early morning, the air had been dry and sultry, not the slightest breeze had stirred all day, and every- ligfim one had felt very uncomfortable and uneasy. ln the western part of Kansas, this atmospheric condition usually foretold danger. Not sensing exactly what was in store for them, Vera and Joe Cheney ventured over to the Coopland. There they dug prickly pears for the cattle, because the severe drought had caused a shortage of feed. To make them edible, Joe burnt the stickers off and tossed the fruit into the back of the truck. When he called, the dogs, Rex and Ducky, came up to him, dripping wet from swimming, and, at his command, jumped into the truck. Since it was only five o'clock, they decided there was plenty of time to feed the cattle. After driving through the gate to the pasture, Vera ran back to close the gate, when, glancing towards the west, she was startled to see a huge, black cloud, blacker than any night, rolling up like smoke. Troubled about the impending danger, they headed directly for home. The threatening storm approached so rapidly that before they had crossed half of the wheat field, it had completely encircled them. The swirling, murky fog was so thick that it was practically impossible to see their hands before their faces. Then the howling Wind swept violently over the earth's surface, seizing an enormous amount of top soil and hurling it wildly about. Just as a child rummages through a drawer tossing everything recklessly about, so did the wind toss and tumble restlessly through the valley and over the hills. Driving through such a dust cloud, denser than any smoke screen, was worse than driving through the blackest night. Occasionally, while peering into the blackness, they were certain they saw the headlights of their truck, but they were deceived by an optical illusion. Since they were driving blindly, they feared they were wandering from the road: so Vera decided to walk in front, by the headlights of the truck, hoping that Joe would be able to see her. It was hard to resist the mighty wind that blew in her face when she opened the door, but, putting forth a great effort, she climbed down and felt her way to the front of the truck. But it was no useg Joe could not see her. Presently the dust choked the engineg it went dead and would not start again. They could not stay there, as the dust got into their nostrils, mouths, and lungs, and if they did not get home, dust pneumonia would take hold in no time, or else the destructive force of the storm would eventually get the better of them. Resolving to start for home on foot, they stepped from the truck into the whirling, gloomy fog, and were momentarily overcome by the terrific force of the wind. The poor dogs, which were huddled together, quivered and shook as they, too, stepped out into the utter darkness. Joe and Vera, who protected their faces with their hands against the swiftly moving dust particles, groped blindly through the flying dust, feeling, with their feet, the ruts worn in the road by the cars. As they struggled slowly along the road, the velocity of the wind was so great that their skin felt as if it were being pelted with tiny iciclesg but despite the unruly gust of wind that blasted and howled in their ears and clogged their throats, they staggered feebly along until they finally reached the fence. One Hundred Twmty With sudden violence the wind sent electrical charges into the air and caused sparks to fly from the barbed wire fence. On the steel fence posts, which were placed every now and then to protect any cattle that might be near by grounding the electricity, were huge glowing balls of fire. That same furious blast caused sparks to jump from Rex and Ducky, who clung, tremb- ling, close beside them. Then, grasping the fence and stumbling along hand over hand, they tried to avoid the penetrating particles of dust that stung their arms and faces by wrapping their clothing tightly around them. Another gust of wind nearly succeeded in taking them along, but they clung des- perately to the fence, braced themselves against each other, and doubled up for protection against that powerful force. With ever raging fury, the storm continued. It seemed as though they were making no progress whatsoever, but at that instant the electricity that lighted the sky, revealed, only a few steps ahead, the gate of the other end of the wheat field. Oh, if that were only the yard gate at home! The dust caused them to cough and spit, and forced them to crawl along in the ruts. Breathing became so difficult that Vera used Joe's handkerchief to tie around her mouth, and moistened it with saliva to enable her to breathe more easily. Presently they were aware of crawling over a bump. This familiar landmark was indeed welcome, for it seemed not only to encourage them, but to restore a little of their strength. It was not long before tedious creeping along on all fours made their knees raw and very sore, and the entire earth beneath them felt as though it were covered with deep grooves. How distressing it was when they were no longer able to distinguish the ruts of the road! Once more Joe and Vera stood up and came to the conclusion that, if they faced the storm, they would eventually reach home. They faced the northwest, the direction of the storm, but gradu- ally the powerful wind turned them around, and they felt the pressure on their backs. Minutes seemed like hours as they roamed around wearily on the Hat. Almost completely exhausted, they bumped into the feed bins. Vera called Rhoni, Blacky, Susy, and several other of the milk cows, but the noise of the storm drowned her voice. Again she inhaled deeply and called. Faintly she and joe heard the cattle lowing. Guided by these familiar sounds, they reached the corral and then-home! Fatigued, they stumbled in after feeling their way into the house. joe barred the door against the terrible storm, while Vera glanced towards the stove, vainly seeking the clock. f Before her, everything was gray. The thick layer of dust that overspread their entire home, made it barely recog- nizable. Were her sore eyes deceiving her, or was it possible that this was not their home? Eagerly but wearily, she dragged herself across the room. On the shelf of the stove, which was concealed under a layer of dust, was something that resembled a huge ant-hill. Removal of the dust from it revealed their own clock. It was past eleven! It had taken over six hours to reach home, from which they had been less than a mile away at the time the storm broke. Assured of their safety, they thanked Cod for directing them safely to their home.

As I realize I haven't the slightest idea of what to write about, I begin to fidget. I draw curious pictures and letters- on a piece of paper. But then I notice something on a Rough Rider which I haven't read. Soon I become deeply absorbed in the paper. Suddenly, I realize that I have a pencil in my hand and have been marking on the Rough Rider. Equally suddenly, I realize I shouldn't be reading, but doing my home-work. I finally begin writing my description seriously. I think of several ideas, write a bit on a few, and decide on one. This is the one. DAVID LIIVIEBROOK. THAT COMPOSITION!

CHARLES BOWMAN A RIVER SCENE 5 , , I-IE river flows slowly and softly, making one forget his earthly troubles and dream of yesterdays and tomorrows. A line of low-hanging trees adorns the river banks, their branches occasionally dipping into the water. Up the river, one sees an old bridge, a bridge that threatens to break each time it is crossed, but somehow, some way, always remains there. Downstream, one sees an old hand-made waterfall originally intended to furnish power to a mill, a large, rambling building which once did a Hourishing business but now is closed and falling to decay. The hills about are quiet and the atmosphere is peaceful. There the birds sing sweetly and the flowers bloom on the bank in rare brilliance. I-low I wish I were back again!

Books on the right, books on the left, books i in front of us, and books behind us-this is the situation in the book room. There were 30,000 books at Roosevelt according to the last i v n toryg according to the inventory taken in June, l93l, there were 50,383 books at Roosevelt. lVlr. Moehle has charge of the book room. Even if Rooseveltians are fortunate enough to have the use of free books, they should be familiar with their cost. The prices range from thirty-six cents to three dollarsg the average price is one dollar. Books are purchased by the city with tax money. It is only just that a pupil be responsible for the care of the books he uses and be fined for any damages or rough handling. If the pupil loses a book, he must pay for it. This money is refunded if the book is found later. The text books are used so much that they last only four or five years. A book may be rebound for fifty per cent of its original cost and have its life extended another two years. About 1200 are rebound yearlyg this number does not include the very large number repaired by Mr. lVloehle and his helpers. During the summer vacation all the texts are stored in the book room.

It contains about 7,500 volumes which are indexed in the card catalogue under author, title, or subject. The library subscribes to twenty-five important ma ines and the i'Reader's Guide to Periodical Literature . The library collection is largely non-fiction, however, there are approxi- mately one hundred titles of standard fiction. Included in this selection are a few books by the more recent writers. Aside from this, there are separate sections devoted to science, history, ancient as well as modern, biography, and other departments. There is a special division for the magazines. The library is also well equipped with encyclopedias, there are seven sets, and with dictionaries, atlases, and reference texts for supplementary reading. Since the seating capacity and book collection are limited, the oppor- tunity for much leisure-time reading, on the part of all students, does not present itself, but, you know, that there is a delivery system for the purpose of sending and receiving books from the Public Library. Here are a few points: I. Get a library slip from the teacher of the subject on which you wish to get information. 2. Ask your study room teacher to sign it fyou can go to the library only during your study period, or before and after schoolj. 3. C-ive the stub to your study room teacher. 4. Write the name of the book that you would like to have on the back of the slip. 5. Give the slip to one of the helpers standing at the door of the library. He will get your book for you. 6. Go to a table and sit down. 7. When Miss Bowman, the librarian, calls your name, get your book and return to your seat. VIRGINIA IVIQINTOSH VIRGINIA THORMAN Om' Huridrmz' Thirty - ficc SENIOR PLAY, MAY, 1938 The salty tang of the sea wove a spell about the romance of the sea captain's daughter and the handsome first mate. Yes, and not confining itself merely to romance, it formed a perfect background for the humor, pathos, and lively quarrels that made up the pattern of the June, l938, Senior Play, Cappy Ricks. Cappy Ricks flzired Kiesell, an eccentric, blustering retired sea captain, runs a shipping business, called the Blue Star, and a household consisting of his daughter Florrie Ueanne Massiej, and his sister Lucy fl-lildegarde Koebbel. l-le takes great pleasure in telling people exactly what to do, as is shown by his confusing instructions to a bewildered young lawyer CScott Cherryj, his meek secretary fl-lenry Jurgingf, who wishes to learn some- thing of the sea and who is immediately sent off on a fertilizer boat! But he becomes reconciled to this occupation when he learns that the chorus girl whom he loves, beautiful Goldy Glake, has become Cappy's private secretary under the name of Ellen Murray. Florrie, anxious to be of some use in the world, joins a shipping company, the Red Diamond, as the partner of Matt Peasley fBob Capral, who is Cappy's greatest rival. Because of this, Florrie conceals the fact that she is Florrie Ricks, and gives the name of Goldy Glake. Together Florrie and Matt outwit Cappy in their business dealings, and manage to fall in love while doing it. Bashful Matt has almost made up his mind to tell Florrie of his love when he happens to meet Cecil. During their conversation, Cecil tells Matt of his Goldy and how much she loves him. Thinking he means Florrie, and not knowing there are two Goldys, Matt turns away from Florrie. Florrie is unable to understand his sudden coldness, and, in her distress, turns to her Aunt Lucy for comfort. Lucy, with the best inten- tions in the world, tells Cappy all about it, and together they try to discover why lVlatt's affections have changed. By questioning the chauffeur fjohn Schmidt, and employing detective methods, they solve the mystery, and Cappy, who is secretly proud that his daughter has forged ahead of him in business, reunites the lovers. Due to the very efficient and patient coaching done by Miss Manheimer, and the hard work of the entire cast, a capacity audience unanimously declared Cappy Ricks one of Roosevelt's successful Senior Plays.

A hush fell upon the audience. Everyone settled himself for a pleasurable evening. Dulcy, the dramatic effort of the Seniors, began. Dulcy is the story of the blunders made by a young wife who was trying to manage her husband's business matters. Dulcy, played realistically by Marjorie Heede, was the flighty but well- meaning wife of Gordie Smith CBob Gastl. Gordon Smith was trying to make a deal with a IVIr. Forbes, giving Gordon a sixteen and two-thirds per cent interest in a jewelry merger. Lewis Neeb as the kid brother completed this happy, blundering family. To further the business relations of Gordon, Dulcy arranged for a week- end party with IVIr. Forbes and his family as guests. Jean Malugen enacted the role of the young, socially-minded wife of lVIr. Forbes. Complications arose when Mr. Van Dyck, a supposedly prominent millionaire, was attracted to lVIrs. Forbes, while IVIr. Forbes seethed with jealousy. To complicate matters, Vincent Leach fWiIIiam Schleiffarthj, a scenario writer, was another of the guests. And Vincent was more than a little interested in Angela Forbes Ueanne Starkj. It was indeed sad that Angela seemed to enjoy the atten- tions of Vincent, because her father despised motion pictures and anything connected with the motion picture industry. Of course, lVIr. Forbes did approve of Tom Sterrett Uack Babbittj, who managed his business deals. Love's young dream was fulfilled when Vincent and Angela eloped, accompanied by the kid brother to help them find a Juctice of the Peace. Dulcy, naturally, had to be the chief instigator of this match, much to the provocation of Mr. Forbes. All evening Dulcy had done nothing but increase IVIr. Forbes' disgust, although she thought she was helping her husband much. When IVIr. Van Dyke told Dulcy that he would finance a merger to be headed by Gordon, she was delighted. Gordon, on finding this out, proceeded to inform IVIr. Forbes that he would take IVIr. Van Dykes offer and fight him. Mr. Forbes had already learned of the elopement of Vincent and Angela, and this last turn was too much for his temper. He made it known to the Smiths that AngeIa's pearl necklace was missing. Immediately everyone looked for Henry QC-eorge Schenkj, a paroled convict, whom Dulcy was reforming. The audience had seen Henry find the pearls and put them in his pocket, surely he must be the villain. The next morning the guests were awaiting the return of the bridal party. Mr. Forbes, liking AngeIa's choice, decided to give Cordon a twenty-five per cent interest in the merger. Henry entered the room to explain that he had found the pearls and now had them in safe keeping. Thus, to the delight of all, the play ended happily. The acting and directing were unusually fine. The cast and lVIiss Duffett should be highly complimented on the presentation of a play that was definitely a success. OLIVER HAHN VIRGINIA MCCLINTIC One Humlrtfd Thirty-eight x ,.,, .

They are the following: First: To promote the welfare of children and youth in home, school, church, and community, to raise the standards of home life, to secure more adequate laws for the care and protection of children. Second: To bring into closer relations the home and the school that parents and teachers may co-operate intelligently in the training of the child, and to develop between educators and the general public such united efforts as will secure for every child the highest advantages in physical, mental, social, and spiritual education. The Parent-Teacher Association is: A volunteer organization, free from individual or group control. Democratic in object, membership, form of government. Non-political, non-sectarian, non-commercial. Co-operative always, but does not join other organizations. Organized constructive co-operation of parents and teachers. A national and an international movement. fFrom the National By-Laws, Article ll., The members of the Mothers' Circle have done much for the pupils of Roosevelt High School. They have given financial assistance to needy pupils, they have sponsored school dancesg and they are now helping the girls in the A'Cappella Choir to obtain new uniforms. Roosevelt High School pupils are indeed grateful to the Mothers' Circle for their continued support. One Hundred Ferry-four OTQWWHS N Om' Humirud I'ur!u-fin' ROY MOSKOP MARJORIE.

These musical organizations, the band, the orchestra, the Carol Club, the Glee Club, and the A Cappella Choir are under the capable direction of Mr. Cleland and Miss I-lilb. Yearly, these organizations entertain Rooseveltians and St. Louisans with their fine music. The band plays at school athletic events and in pep auditorium sessions. The orchestra functions at various school activities, such as the senior play, graduation, and occasional concerts. Mr. Cleland instructs the band and orchestra during the sixth and seventh periods daily. The Carol Club meets in Room 301 daily during the first period, and the members of this club have gained recognition for their outstanding performances at the annual music contests at Washington University and at the pageant Musica Americana held at the Municipal Auditorium last spring. The members receive one-half of a credit per year. The C-lee Club's purpose is to develop skill in ensemble singing among the boys at Roosevelt. This club is one of the oldest organizations at Roose- velt, and it has played an important part in school life. Miss Hilb, besides directing the Carol Club and A'Cappella Choir, directs the Glee Club. The A'Cappella Choir is composed of selected voices of the Glee and Carol Clubs. The choir meets daily before school in 301. In addition to making numerous radio and church appearances throughout the city, the choir has sung at the National Music Convention, 'iMusica Americanaf' and at a St. Louis Symphony Orchestra i'Pop concert. The Clee Club, the Carol Club, and the A'Cappella Choir combine to form the Symphony Chorus. This chorus sang on the same program with the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra, November 30 and December l8, l938, together with choruses from other high schools. .

One Hundred Seventy-eight Z7 PD One Hundred Swwvl gf- nina ROOSEVELT COACHES This year, the Roosevelt coaching staff has again upheld the school tradition of turning out top-notch teams. The Rough Rider teams, under the direction of these capable instructors, have won more than their share of victories, always playing the game well and fairly. Once more Mr. Granger gains top honors by producing a championship track team, running the number to eleven consecutive championships. Mr. Kuntz ably coached the midget tracksters and assisted in football. Coach Lorenzen produced a good team in basketball and a championship runner-up in tennis. Mr. Carlson again turned out first-rate baseball and football teams, Mr. Granger assisted him in football. Mr. Neumann also coached a cham- pionship runner-up in swimming. Mr. Hochmeister is to be congratulated on his work with the golf team. Praise and thanks should be given to Mr. Neeb for his efficient management of the business and finances of the entire sports program. With these capable men to guide our Rough Riders, We may be sure to have many more victories brought home to Roosevelt.

Ono Hundred Eighty-one BASEBALL-1938 The Roosevelt Baseball team concluded the 1938 season by placing fourth in the High School League. Roosevelt High won two games and lost four in league competition. The team made a much better record in practice games, winning live and losing two. Since only three lettermen returned and our campus could not be used for practice, the Rough Riders were handi- capped from the start. Although the Rooseveltians ended the season with seven victories and six defeats, the team showed power in that four of the strongest teams in the district were held to a few runs. Much praise is due Mr. Carlson for his able direction of the team. The scores for the practice games are as follows: Roosevelt . ., , ...,.,.... 4 Kirkwood .,,. . 2 Roosevelt .... 6 Ritenour .... 2 Roosevelt , ., I0 McBride ., ,... ., 9 Roosevelt ,. .I I Webster ..,.,.,, , . . .. 7 Roosevelt ..,. 2 St. I...

He introduced to Roosevelt a basketball tournament for all boys who were interested in this game. As a result of this tournament, Coach Lorenzen was able to choose his basketball team for this season. The winning teams were presented with valuable pins to wear on their sweaters. Even after the tournament, Roosevelt's team was handi- capped by lack of experienced cagers, and despite the long, hard practice sessions, the team was able to win but two games out of six league games. The call for basketball material revealed but three lettermen, Bob White, Ray Crocker, and Frank Brown. Other good material, however, was soon developed. When the team was finally put into shape, it engaged in non- league games to condition the players and to give them needed experience. To start the ball rolling, the Rough Riders engaged McBride High School in their first non-league game. Roosevelt lost this game to lVlcBride by the score of 32 to 25. John O'Connor was Roosevelt's high scorer and sensa- tional goal shooter. He sank three goals and one free throw. The first league game was played against Beaumont at the St. Louis University Gym, Roosevelt losing 24-l3. The Rough Riders were rather slow in getting started, but soon were close behind last year's champions. Next Roosevelt engaged Cleveland in a league game, beating them 26-25. This game was truly unusual in the fact that the lead was nearly snatched away from the Rough Riders, but they gained spirit and stoutly resisted Cleveland's thrust. Kenneth Gieck was Roosevelt's highs point man making four goals and eight free throws. Central defeated Roosevelt by the score of 33 to IZ. The Rough Riders started scoring when the game was nearly over, and could not overcome Central's big lead. Soldan also won a close game, I8 to l5. This game was fairly a heart- breaker. Soldan took the lead in the last quarter, when it seemed that Roosevelt would win. Disheartened by the last defeat, the Crimson and White dropped a hard fought game to McKinley, 27-7. The last and final game of the l938 season was won by Roosevelt, when the team scored fourteen field goals and eight free throws in the game with Blewett and won by the score of 32 to 24. The following boys were awarded the coveted athletic RH: Erwin Schultz and Lewis Neeb, who served as managers: Frank Brown, who was captaing Kenneth Gieck, Tom Kirwan, James Lawler, Ed Maus, John O'Connor, and John Reiner, who were members of the team. Although this season was not so successful as it might have been, Roose- velt can look forward to a more successful one next year when experienced cagers will return for action. LEONARD WIEDERSHINE.

FOOTBALL NOTES , HE Roosevelt football team of the 1938 season was a very good one, despite the injuries which lowered the Rough Riders' chances of a championship. The team played a difficult schedule, but gained a five hundred per cent average for the entire season, although it lost to Soldan, Beaumont, and Cleveland. Pre-season predictions expected Roosevelt to repeat their outstanding record of l937, but several injuries, early in the season, forced the Crimson and White to be content with fourth place in the lnterscholastic League. Too much praise cannot be given to Coach Carlson and Assistant Coach Granger, to Co-Captains Brown and Crocker, to the other boys who composed the team and played good, sportsmanlike football. ROOSEVELT 7-MCBRIDE 6 The Rough Riders opened the season with a victory in a night game at Walsh Stadium over McBride. A record-breaking crowd of spectators watched this closely fought game. The Crimson and White's only, but decisive score, came on a forward pass from Brown to Osterholt in the first quarter. lVlcBride's score came in the last quarter, after the ball had been brought near the scoring territory, with a pass and a center plunge. lVlcBricle's failure to make the extra point cost the prep school the victory. ln this game Roosevelt lost a valuable player, as Schaefer was injured and was unable to play in another contest the remainder of the season. The ROOSEVELT O-lVIcKINLEY 0 Roosevelt opened the 1938 lnterscholastic football season with a scoreless tie against McKinley. The Crimson passing worked with distinction, but failed to score. The defense was unerring and blanlceted all of lVlcKinley's offensive threats. Both teams had several opportunities to score, only to lose them by the penalty route. To Brown is due much credit, as he seldom failed to pass the ball straight and true into the arms of waiting receivers, especially Osterholt. The offensive and defensive work of Glover, Seith, Schlemmer, and Hughes was praiseworthy. ROOSEVELT I3-ST. LOUIS U. HIGH 7 The Rooseveltians had a close call, for they barely defeated St. Louis U. High. By scoring in the last few minutes of play, an inspired Rough Rider team upset a powerful Junior Billiken team. The attendance record of this game plus the record made at the McBride game broke all records of nocturnal tilts in Roosevelt history. The Crimson's first score came in the second stanza, when Tom Hughes intercepted a forward pass and ran seventy yards for a touchdown. The prep school made its only score in the last quarter with a right-end run. Then the team made the extra point. It seemed as though the game was at an end as far as Roosevelt was concerned. But the passing combination of Brown and Osterholt again worked to perfection. After the ball had been brought to the one-yard by passes and a right-end run by Seith, Jim Glover took the One Hundred Eighty-six ROOSEVELT FOOTBALL SQUAD OF 1938 Row lfCoach Granger, Schaefer, Kallmeyer, Maus, Crocker, Twesten.

However, the game was saved for the Rough Riders, when Weaver recovered in scoring territory. Roosevelt's line proved its versatility by stopping many of the Prepsters' scoring threats and opening numerous holes for the backfield. ROOSEVELT 20-CENTRAL 6 A crippled Roosevelt team crushed Central 20 to 6. Four star regulars, Brown, Hughes, Schaefer, and Osterholt, were missing from the starting line-up because of injuries. The Rough Riders' fast clicking attack and air- tight defense, however, was brilliant throughout the game. Bob Osterholt, star quarterback, started the scoring by catching Seith's fumble and crossing the double marker for the first score of the game. The second Crimson score occurred after Glover caught a pass from Brown and raced twenty yards to bring the point total for the Cowboys to I3. The coveted extra point was garnered by a pass from Glover to Schamburg. Central made its lone score on a blocked punt in the second quarter. Following a strong defensive by Central in the third quarter, the Rough Riders hit their stride and proved that they were the better team by their display of excellent playing. The final score came via a pass from Brown to Moore. ROOSEVELT O-SOLDAN 8 Coach Carlson's boys, minus several of their star players, lost to Soldan, who eventually won the league title, by the score of 0 to 8. Luck was with Soldan, because the first score came on a safety, when Brown stepped over the end zone on an attempted punt. This score eventually led to Soldan's next touchdown. Many times Roosevelt was in scoring territory, but the strong defense of Soldan held fast and kept Roosevelt from scoring. The final score came in the last quarter on an intercepted pass. Roosevelt's superb playing would have clearly stamped it as a championship team, but their attack was handi- capped by the- absence of Crocker and Schaefer. The backfield performed marvelouslyg and the line composed of Weaver, Schlemmer, Maus, Moore, Hughes, Kallmeyer, and Patton played a fine game, recovering fumbles, blocking players, and knocking down passes. ROOSEVELT 0--CLEVELAND 6 At the beginning it seemed as if the outcome would be in Roosevelt's favor, for the Rough Riders had been consistently breaking up Cleveland's plays. Co-Captains Brown and Crocker were missed, but the playing of the backfield of Osterholt, Seith, Altmayer, and Glover was outstanding. The line performed admirably under fire. Most of the playing centered in midfield and in Cleveland's territory. An intercepted pass started Cleveland on its way to victory. The touch- down came in the second quarter after the ball had been brought to the seven- yard line by a run around tackle and a short right-end run. The team failed to convert the extra point. One Hundred Eighty-eight ROOSEVELT 6-BEAUIVIONT I4 The Crimson and White, playing in the last game of the season, went down in defeat to Beaumont. The game was played before a large crowd of spectators on Armistice Day morning. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the display of hard-fought, well-played football. The Cowboys received the opening kick-off and returned the ball to mid- field. A few line plunges, and a lateral from Glover to Osterholt, brought the ball. to the Northsiders' sixteen-yard line as the quarter ended. Then Seith went over for the lone Roosevelt score on a spinner play. ln spite of Roosevelt's sturdy defense, the Blue Jackets crossed the goal- line once in the second quarter, and again in the third quarter. Both touch- downs were made through line plunges. jim Glover made several long runs and did all the signal calling, while Brown, Osterholt, and Hughes, in their last game, played a good all-around game. The following players com- posed the first team for the season: Left end: Moore Left tackle: Hughes Left guard: Schlemmer Center: Patton Right guard: Joern and Weaver Right tackle: Kallmeyer and Boyle Right end: Crocker, Maus, and Langley Quarterback: Osterholt, Kelly, and Altmayer Left halfback: Seith Right halfback: Glover and Schaefer Fullback: Brown To the boys mentioned above and to Managers Warman, Born, and Zacher letters were awarded. Two of our players were awarded places on the lnterscholastic All-Star Team, two were placed on the second team, and five were given honorable mention. George Seith was selected as All-Star left halfback by reason of his great offensive work in running interference and by his running attacks. John Moore was selected for the left end position of the mythical eleven. He starred at receiving passes, blocking, and being an impassable barrier at defense. Crocker and Hughes gained positions on the second team for their excellent work. Roy Schlemmer, Herbert Weaver, Frank Brown, Bob Oster- holt, and Dick Patton were given honorable mention. On the district All-Star team, Seith was placed at left halfback. Moore, Hughes, and Osterholt were awarded honorable mention. LEONARD WIEDERSHINE One Hundred Eighty-nine TENNIS-1938 Roosevelt tennis team of l938 completed an eventful season by gaining second place in the interscholastic standings. The Rough Riders played excellent tennis in winning twenty matches and losing but eight. The team swept through the first four matches with Cleveland and then split even with Soldan. Again the Rough Riders won four straight and then split even, this time playing Blewett and McKinley respectively. The team then whipped Central and Southwest in short order. Beaumont, the league champions, handed the Rooseveltians four defeats to complete the season. The individual records are as follows: Won Lost Bill Snow, first man . . .......,.. 5 2 Eugene Paplanus, second man . . , . 6 l Jack Allen, third man ......,.................. ,,.............,.... 4 3 Harry Fischer and Jack Fleischli, doubles team .,.,, 3 l Bob Smith and Bill Bennett, doubles team .. , , 2 0 Jack Fleischli and Bob Smith, doubles team 0 I This is a record of which every Rooseveltian may be proud.

HARRY FISCHER. f 1 1 GOLF The Roosevelt golfers opened their season with a practice match with Southwest High. The contest was match play and was won by Southwest. A second practice match was played with Webster and Blewett. This was a match in which the four highest individual scores were used to determine the winner. Webster had a four-man score of l62 for the nine-hole course, Blewett was second with I66, and Roosevelt trailed with 204. ln the City High School Tournament, played on the Forest Park eighteen- hole course, Roosevelt met the best golfers in the city high schools. The tournament was won by the school having lowest score for a four-man team. Cleveland took the championship with a score of 648 for the thirty-six holes. Roosevelt golfers were the under dogs , trailing with a score of 855. Our team did not fare well this seasong but Mr. Hochmeister, our new coach, expects a much better team next year. Our boys gained much valuable experience which will help make a better team next year. The coveted R was awarded to the boys who comprised this year's squad: Wiele, Murphy, Stoll, and Ruemeli.

TRACK-SPRIN G, 1938 Head high, eyes on the tape, arms driving in rhythm with flying legs that barely seemed to touch the track, the sprinter, victory assured by yards, shot ahead to triumph-this picture is symbolic of Roosevelt's dynamic spike-knights and their eleventh consecutive lnterscholastic Track Champion- ship. Cheered on and inspired by the sight of the red-and-white-clad Rough Riders, the rousing track aud, the smile of the beautiful Track Queen, and a wonderful day Cwho got wet?J, our track team performed superbly as they led all competitors by thirty-one and one-half points. The Seniors were victorious in their division, with a seven and one-half point lead over their nearest rival. Calvin Gray led the attack, easily captur- ing the 440-yard dash, in which Bigham, who had to fight the most interest- ing duel of the meet to defeat the pressing Beaumont challenger as they twice jaunted around the track in the 880-yard run, placed fourth. Schaefer broke the tape in the 220-yard dash, followed by Glass who placed second, and Glass was again on the heels of Schaefer as they took second and third in the I00-yard sprint. Glass further distinguished himself by jumping to third place in the running broad jump. Dreessen, with one shoe spiked off at the start of the mile, courageously ran four circuits of the cinder track to win. ln his heat in the preliminaries in the meet, he took second place. Cast placed fourth in the mile. Surprising all, including himself, Kuenneke leaped the high hurdles for I20 yards to second place, while Bettlach did One Hundrcci Nim-tg-Iwo TRACK SQUAD, I9 38 f ,ix f N ff wif ,4 3, . 'JJ One Hundrvd Ninety-lhree likewise in the 220-yard low hurdle race. Gur relay team was second to no olher as it spurted to victory with Schaefer, Akans, Phillips, and Glass carrying the baton over the 880-yard course. Langley high-jumped to second place and pole-vaulted to fourth place in his respective events, while Crocker hurled twelve pounds of iron in graceful form to place fourth in the shot put. The juniors reduced all comers a notch or two, as they led the field with a l53M, point lead. Top man was Kimmel, taking first honors in the IZO-yard low hurdles in which l-lelstern placed fourth. He was the only Rough Rider to place in the broad jump, taking first, and skirting the bamboo to second place in the high jump. Seith let no grass sprout under his flying spikes as he sprinted to victory in the l00-yard dash with Teich posting a third. Seith's high-geared speed put him second 'in 'the 50-yard dash, pressed by Kimmel, who ranked third. Having warmed up a bit by this time, Seith tossed the eight-pound shot for a good second. Teich breezed to third place in the 220-yard dash, while Burns ran twice that distance to place third in the 440-yard dash. Parks maintained his perfect record by winning the 880-yard run with Simokaitis taking second. ln the 880-yard relay the baton passers placed second with Seith, Helstern, Burns, and Teich putting up an exceptionally good fight. The Midgets saved themselves from a Uwhitewashin' by placing their 440-yard relay team fourth with Kohl, Linzeman, Paust, and Vogelsang, gathering in the lone point. Due credit, however, must be given to Coach Kuntz, who, needless to say, did his best and then some, but--well, wait till next year, for'Coa'd1 Kunti' hopes tlTatfWe'll1TaVe-ailfouriroplrjfcups-tom store away. At Roosevelt High the lnterscholastic Track Championship has become more of a tradition than an event. We are justly proud of our record, and we should endeavor to maintain the tradition. ln true Crimson and White style, our track team of this year did the 'iusual thing, and the members have earned for themselves a niche next to that of ten previous track teams in the glorious history of Roosevelt sports. However, the real driving force and the power that is continually putting our track team out in front is Coach Granger. Too much praise cannot be given to him for so convincingly familiarizing the team with the elements of good sportsmanship and the secrets of track success.

Neumann, assisted by Mr. H. Marx, had a comparatively successful season with but two defeats in their dual meets. The title which our team secured was that of City Relay Champions. On December 2, at the Washington University Water Carnival, the relay team, composed of Flanagan Gray, Elmer Haase, Rene Chouteau, and Herbert Rothenberg, showed its power by placing first with a time of l :5 l.3. The captain, Rene Chouteau, was presented with a cup which is to occupy a place in the Roosevelt trophy case. Later in the season, the team competed in five dual meets, the results of which are as follows: Roosevelt . , . .42 Beaumont . 24 Roosevelt , . .36 McKinley . . 30 Soldan .,., ,,., . 40 Roosevelt .. . ,. . Z6 Roosevelt .,., .,,, 4 4 McKinley ..,. , Z2 Soldan ,.,. ,... . 38 Roosevelt . , ..,. . 28 The only defeats were suffered at the hands of the team's strongest rival, Soldan High. ln these dual meets, Calvin Gray and Rene Chouteau took high honors, each being high-point man in two meets and tying for point honors in the third. The team, aided by five lettermen from last year's squad, also did well in the City Meet by placing second after Soldan. ln the State Meet, however, the Rough Riders suffered a setback by securing only fourth place. Letters were awarded to Captain Rene Chouteau, Calvin Gray, Elmer Haase, Ray Becker, John Wachter, Fred Kaiser, George Schaffer, Jerry Kenney, Roger Will, Oris Poupeney, Flanagan Gray, Bill Glenn, Bob Hans- sen, Herbert Rothenberg, and George Turner, manager. With nine lettermen returning next year, Coach Neumann's l938-39 team shows promise of even improving on the record of the I937-38 team. SCOTT CHERRY. One Humlrcd Ninety- lit? tty. :db- y.
