XI-'hen jim and Tom heard this they asked the man which way they had gone and the man pointed to the 63.53. JIITI went to get their guns while Tom got their ehutes. When they were in the air they saw a west. Then a plane and mail plane doiningg from the Tom looked down and saw some men locking at them. Tom went bv and made sure that they were Affer look- the ones he was looking for. ing the place .wer they made a landing by a farinliouse, when the farmer saw them he became angry, but as soon as he heard their :tory he found that he had run into the iight men to go after the Black Ace. The night before the Ace had stolen 35,000 worth mf bonds from him. I-Ie said. he woultl ,give them a reward if they could get them back. Tom was good on wing walking, but jim was a sure shot on the gun. They made their plans :md calleal up the polieedepartment in a nearby town and asked them to come over when it was dark so that they could get the whole gang. About 7:30 they heard the sound of a horn and they knew that it was the police department. Both were very anxious to go to their job. On their way they saw a fire and some men. The police surrounded the camp. The signal was given and all the men ran for the plane h'it the Black Ace got there first and pot the girl in the rear cockpit and just had time to get away from the police. Tom caught one of the wing wires. He climbed to the Ace and started to light. Tom was knocked down. He was half dead but he managed to open his rarachute. As soon as he touched the ground jim asked him if he was hurt. Tom smiled. That was enough for jim for he knew that he was all right. Torn and jim went for the plane. They knew that they could beat the Ace because their plane was larger. ,lim took after the gun while Tom was on the wing, Jim swooped down and Tom jumped on the other plane. The Ace pointed a pistol at him re'tdv to shoot. jim saw this. He pulled the trigger. and the Black Ace was motionless. jim rid- dled him with bullets. Then Tom took the bonds from the Ace's coat and sent him for a ri'le. The last that lim saw of Tom and the girl was behind the clmvls. LIFE'S MYSTERY Once a lonely child there wandered, Fair and sinless was his face: Ile had seen no earthly sorrows, Forth he walked with childish grace liflnre his eager foosteps led him, There he turned his head so fair, In the studio of an artist He gazed at paintings rare. Then the artist was before him, Vlfondering, gazing. angel face. Rapture on its eager features That no sorrow could erase. Swiftly then he sketched the features Sketched the hairtof softest gold, Slcetched the parted lips of wonder And the round eyes, blue and bold. lindless years the painting hung there, Still the wondering artist kept it, Still he looked upon the fair child, IX-'ondered what was pure except it 'tN'here. he wondered. is a being XVho, as the child is as pure, l.: as bad, a face so hateful. Captured by cruel Satan's lure? I ong the artist searched and wondered Gray he was. yet could not find .X face with features cruel and livid, A heart and soul, unjust. unkind. t7ne night the artist, sleeping soundly Awakened by a Hash of light, llehind he saw a face. a grim face, He gasped in wonder at the sight. .Ycross the forehead two red scars, Two burning eyes, two cruel. hard lips .X mocking smile of hatred deep. A gun between his finger tips. llehold, the artist said to him. Naught but portraits do I own. tome, I'll lead thee through my rooms Take thy light, I am alone. g The artist led him through his lodging. Sholwed him portraits on thc wall: The light Hashed on to one. a painting The robber gasped. the light let fall For on the wall there hung a portrait .-X smiling child with golden hair. The artist saw the robber stumble And kneel before the portrait fair. 'Twas I. Once long ago I came here 'Tis past, my soul no more is clean. Tl-e artist stared at him in wonder. 'Tis he. this robber bold and mean.' F -rth the robber went in sorrow. The artist stayed in misery. Oh. life! he sighed, is full of sorrow A puzzling. tragic mystery.

A backwoods girl without education, manners or knowledge of the'general wcrld outside her own little hemisphere falls in love with an university grad- nate from a wtll-to-do family of social standing.

stuanatq imp 14 egg, HNQU t IQ I 4 gm Question: Are you in favor of a Senior Literary Club?fB. F. ,' Tillie Kaufman, Pt. 6, 9A. Yes, I think a literary club would be oneyof the most valuable assets to any institution of learning. Literature, one of the finest subjects in the world, broadens one's thoughts, improves one's culture, and is one of the surest of studies for the advancement of civiliza- tion. Harry Sclxrogin, Pt. 6, 9A. I believe it would be a wonderful undertaking. None of the ninth grad- ers are too brilliant in this field, It would be a great help in their English work, as well as many other ways. Morris Vinitxky, Pt. 6, SA. I am not in favor of a senior literary club because the students get literature necessary in English, would cause confusion in the Hour. all the and it Social Portable 5 Leads in Charity Records Portable Five, Miss McCormick's room. has made Charity and Courtesy the home room slogan. There'has never been an appeal for the needy that they have disregarded since first Each Christmas they have made up a entering the school in February, 1928. basket of everything necessary for a really lovely dinner for a large family. not forgetting a thing, even candies. nuts. etc. When the Children's Aid Society sent out their call in l9Z8, Pt. 5 was the first to challenge any room to race them to a twenty-five dollar goal. As a matter of fact, they raised more than 525110. In 1929 they sent a ch'ck for S2000 without waiting to see what any other room was going to give.

BASKET BAWL STOCKTON-SABIN GAME Sabin was defeated again, when our team played Stockton, in the second practice game of the season, at Sabin. The game began at 3:25, after a few minutes of preliminary practice. Dur- ing the first quarter, the ragged play- ing on both sides was bad, however, Stockton succeeded in getting four points while Sabin got none. The Stockton team got the edge on ours with its quick thinking and because the players passed the ball and did not hold it. At the end of the first half, the score was, Sabin 1, Stockton 7. During the third quarter the same sort of fumbling was repeated, which weakened our defense, and probably was the cause of our defeat. The Sabin defense was so poor substitution was necessary. and in spite of all our efforts the final score was 5 to 13 in Stockton's favor. Dier and Berger played the best game in their short Sabin career. In my opinion, if more Sabinites would turn out to see these games, we would have more victories. ' B. F. FARRAGUT-SABIN GAME s The second .practice game, between Farragut junior High and Sabin, which was played at Farragut, ended in de- feat for Sabin, the score being 13-12. During the preliminary practice, both teams appeared to be well matched. The whistle starting the game blew at about 3:30. During the first quarter, --1?--1, No. 7 on Sabin's team did some very admirable playing. Harry Swee and Harry Hahn pre- vented a great many baskets from be- ing madc, and showed what Sabincan do in her defensive game. At the end rf the half the score was, Sabin 4. Ffrragut l. During the third quarter Edward Dier :' nd Sam Klugman did good work. and the score rose to 10 to 3, in our favor: then something surprising happened- Farragnt seemed to gain the speed and detrmination that was not evident at th- beginning. and soon the score was ti d. At this stave the game became iiwnsf-ly interesting. l2-12. and an ex- tra quarter was added, while the air was tense with excitement. Time out was called and the game was won on Farragut's free throw when Sabin's player fouled. The defense on Farra- gut's part was exceptionally good, al- though Sabin was not far behind, This was the second practice game we lost to Farragut. , B. F. Yeah! Sabin Wins First Tournament Game, Sabin started out victoriously, by'de- feating Cregier Junior High in one of the most exciting, nerve wrecking games of the year. At the end of the first quarter.the score was, Sabin 7, Cregier 3. Herman Spector made Sabin's first basket, which was made possible by the good playing of Sabin's entire team. In the second quarter, Klugman substituted for Hahn, making Spector captain, who in turn had sub- stituted for Swee, taking his place as captain. The reason for this being merely to rest the players. The Cregier team bunched too much, thereby allow- ing Sabin to score. The cheer leaders were very active during the rest pe- riods, and they, too. showed commend- able team work. During the third quarter more baskets were made. A great deal of strategy was used by the different cap- tains. At the end of the third quar- ter. the score was 12-9, Sabin's favor. The game was intensely exciting, Our victory was doubtless due to the expert management of the team by Mr. Mishkin. The winning score was 15-13. B. Freeman. SHUCKS! WE LOST! On February 9, Sabin went down in glorious defeat to Hibbard junior High in the junior High Basketball Tourna- ment. although fighting hard to the finish. - The quarters seemed to fly so swiftly, I can give but a brief account of them. The game began at 3:55, coincidental with the arrival of I-Iibbard's cheer leaders, who were falthough it was hard to tellj girls! During the first quarter Harry Hahn and Herman Spector did good work. and the score was tied-3 to 3. Swec was up on his toes this game. and acted accordingly. in the second quarter, but the score rose to Hibbard 5, Sabin 3. During the rest periods, the cheer leaders were active as usual. and amusing to watch. During the first half, the teams seemed equally well matched. The swift passing, accurate. quick thinking, and good sportsmanship was admirable on both teams. Uncrring determina- tion wz-s shown by each team. At the end of the third quarter the score was.

The scholarship was not to be awarded unless the judges felt that there was real talent prestnt in the contest. The scholarship could also have been di- vided between two persons. Rosa Raisa, Giacome Rimino, of the Chicago Civic Opera Co., Herman Devries and Glenn Dillard Gunn of the Herald aml Examiner were the judges and awarded tlte entire scholarship to Helen Byrne, Miss Byrne sang Stride la Vampa from thc opera Il Trova- tore by Verdi. She is a contralto. Madam Rafsa said that her voice had decided operatic qualities. B. Freeman. Orchestra Has Large Repertoire b The orchestra has done very success- ful work tltis semester.
