'Twas written in italics consequently it was French. Poor Johnny was excited, seated on his little bench. When it came his turn to read it, he was in a fearful grouch, You really cannot blame him, when he called it Sa main gauchef' The teacher wisely shook her head,-then John said, From the coach, Heknew he wasn't wrong this time, She held out sa main gauc-he. Poor teacher tried to tell him, when-a light shone like a torch, And Johnny spoke up bravely, and pro- nounced it sa main gauchef' Again the teacher looked distressed and John was nearly banned, Then just in time his buddy hissed, She held out her left hand. -Dorothy Fitch Page Twenty-eipht

FACULTY NOTES Scraps would never be complete with- out a word or two about our faithful teach- ers. Strange to say none are going abroad. Perhaps it is not the fashion this year and maybe those who have not been across want to be more patriotic and wish to see America first. At any rate most of them intend to spend their vacations at home. Mr. Bellows, however, is going to pass his summer among the hills of the Adirondacks where he lived during a part of his earlier life. The faculty this year, is going to lose three of its beloved members. Miss Hutchinson, who during the past six years has endeared herself to all, will leave a great gap which only she can fill. She has obtained a position in the High School at Yonkers which, incidentally is her home town. Miss McPhee of the Peekskill High School will become the new member of the faculty and will continue the work that Miss Hutchinson has so successful carried on. Another teacher who bids us adieu is Miss Dunn. Although she has been with us but a short time, she has made many friends among the faculty and pupils. Mr. Darling has coached his last team for Rye Neck because he intends to study for the medical profession. We regret that he is leaving us and we wish him success in his vocation. -Charles Silleck SCHOOL NOTES An interesting and original May-day pro- gram was presented before the assembly, on Tuesday, May 1, by members of the first year English class. The chairman of the performance, Henry Houpert, introduced the speakers in order. Nancy Reinke spoke first, on the origin of the name May. Then Selma Erickson and Alex Cambpell told of two great men who made history during this month-Lief Erickson and Col. Lindbergh. Helen Hance told of important birthday celebrations to take place in May. Lucille Tocknell gave an original composition, and Helen Curtain an original poem. Next, James Reed talked on the subject Birds and flowers of May. The last number on the program, a poem of James Whitcomb Riley's, rendered by Evelyn Rozofsky, was especially charming. --May Coakley PARENT-TEACHER NOTES At the last meeting of the parent-Teacher Association, an interesting musical program was presented, in charge of Mrs. Hanna. There were songs by groups of children from the grades, a piano solo by Nancy Reinke, a violin solo by Harold Harriott and several selections by the orchestra. A pleasing feature was a talk given by Mr. Colwell Conklin, the supervisor of music of the Mamaroneck school, about a musical conference which he had attended a few weeks previously at Chicago. --Andrew Kauppi W enzel Moor E A uleta Car R roll Clark E R Obinson Me Y er Houp E rt N amczy Coakl E y Fit C h Sillec K Steven S L eppert G1 A tzl Montgome R y G unn W E ndel Land S iedel T ifiin True S dell Ben E dum Goldman N Kaupp I Co O per Bo R el C urtin Coak L ey M A rtin Hain S Malinow S ki -Robert Montgomery Page Twenty-seven

Charlie: John. He went to Jersey. THE ARTIST The artist sat and racked his brain For inspiration clear and new, And he had almost gone insane When came a vision to his view. He saw in mist a beauteous form, T'was clad in raiment fair and white, And then his vision seemed to swarm, It slowly faded from his sight. But in his mind the figure stayed In all its beauty and its grace. He quickly called to him a maid With perfect form and lovely face. She was his model, and he bade Her to assume this certain pose With speed, quick, lest the vision fade! You'll stay that way, please, lest it goes So with obedience and respect The maiden did as she was told. Nor could he any flaw detect In any drapery or fold. He took his brush, started to paint, With feverish skill attacked the work. The model felt a. little faint, But did not wish her task to shirk. An hour passed, one, two, three, four, She begged him for a moment's rest. Please hold that pose five minutes more, This work, when done, will be my best. Till he was thru she held the pose, Aye, held it for five minutes more. But when joyfully he arose And cried, It's done ! fell to the floor. He quickly ran to where she lay, Where she lay white and still and cold, He spokeg no answer yea or nay, For her whole story had been told. Yes she was lifeless, she was dead. The blood lay cold in her still heart. The artist shook his dazed head, Her life was given for his art. But art is to interpret life, To help the world along its way, To strengthen hearts, to lessen strife, To brighten up the dreary day. It is to brighten not to blightg For art is not the night, but dawn. This thing is evil in my sight For which a maiden's life is gone Y He looked at his great work once more, And knew that it was of the best: But with his hands the canvas tore To strips, and set his mind at rest. -May Coakley Page Twenty-nine
