Modern cartoonists with a dormant sense of humor and no originality often illus- Q- trate this racing race of commuters as flat on their faces in humble homage to the god of from-here-to-there. None of us, when leaping from bus, auto, street car or Austin, steamship or aeroplane in our usual perpetually preoccupied slate of mind, realize what a long walk it would be, or what a tiring trip in a row boat. Few people will struggle through snow drifts. and fight their way through primeval forests for mere hook learning, when it is 11ot absolutely essential, and necessary. The government could not compel young people to attend school if it required a super human effort to get there. Even the laziest individual can not call walking a few steps and waiting a. few moments for a ve- hicle to take one to the school's front door an effort in these days. The educational system could sing to transportation: You made we what I am todayg I hope you're satisfied, and be as rele- vant as the original significance. . One of the greatest steps in the advancement of San Mateo High School has been the build- ing and opening of the Bay Shore Highway at the rear of the school, in affording a comfortable and convenient method for transfortation of all kinds to allparts of the community. For ' persons without vehicles, the two y Pierce Arrow busses, made in the Q school shops, have their familiar it routesg though to those viewing f the miscellany of machines A parked at the rear of the building every morning, it would seem that few students are left to partonize this form of hospitality. Indeed, W one student out of every ten, owns or operates la machine of sorts, some of which seem peculiarly lacking in the elements of mech- anism. Those whose fortunes are not up to the maintenance of a gas-devouring vehicle can afford . bikes, considering the low price e of machines and their upkeep. ' In the future, perhaps, auto- f mobile owners will be treated with the disdain the owners of ' bikes suffer today, skates will have passed entirely out of ex- istence, and the smart and ac- . cepted way of arriving for an ed- ucation every morning will be to 9 drop into your classroom via parachute. The opening of air- 5 ports in the vicinity of the school has made flying in general a less obscure and mysterious enter- prise. So to transportation, which has 5 minimized distances, we owe, in ' part, the growth of San Mateo U High School, fro1n a small frame 5 house to the extensive English I-1 Lownn-F1us'r HIGII senoor.

At the close of the term the graduating classes were made to run through a sub- terranean hall, the venerable president being entitled to be the last one. It was added that as the hindmost had the benefit of a post-graduate course, he turned out to be the best magician. But his soul was hopelessly forfeit. Hence the proverb: Every man for himself, and the devil catch the hindmost g or, as we abbreviate it: Every man for himself. Isn't this just the way some of us feel at times when we go down to the Cafe for lunch, or to the Gym for an assembly, or to the Co-op as the bell rings, or after the Hi on Thursday, or out of Study when the bell rings, or through the I halls at noon? This seemed to have 5 been the general attitude of the stu- L dents as it appeared when we first entered this school in August, 1927. I don't know if you have guessed what the so-called Things are. True, it is the attitude of everyone for himself , but it may all be summed up in two words which include the actions and frame of mind of the Student Body as a whole. Those two words are School Spirit. Separated, the words mean nothing, they have no significance whatsoever. It is just as this or- - A ganization was in the time I men- tioned. Together, in their right po- sitions, these words mean everything and are the basis of our now-practically united-institu- tion, the Associated Students. Here again comes a famous quotation: United we stand, di- vided we fall! v Dance Committee Promotes School Spirit A builder is erecting a large building. He realizes the fundamental essentials of construc- tion. Therefore he carefully plans his foundations and the structure of the house with metricul- ous care. He is aware that when the building is completed that the strains and stresses will bear heavily on the foundations and on the skeleton of the building. In this call there is a sort of general unity that enables that house to stand up, to bear the winds, to be as sturdy as the oak. There is a co-operation, a union, a close bond of relationship between the foundation and the frame that forms a perfect harmony of balance, strength, unity and durability which applied to our human buildings is known as School Spirit. ' The early cave man, realizing the dire necessity of keeping himself alive, had to band to- gether with other Il16ll'llJCl'S to kill his prey for food or protection. In his rude way he saw there was unity in strength. If he threw his cares to the winds, and if every one shifted for himself, the race of cavemen would have eventually perished. ' A great general, supreme in military strategy, a diplomat, a leader of 1ne11 swept the Euro- pean continent with the power of his personality ails!-lieer will. He made daring conquests, made the generals of other nations fear him, changed the geopraphical locations of prominent nations on the European continent. Behind his determination, will and personality was a strong army which he sacrificed to achieve his goal. Such a man was Napoleon. He saw a great unity in strength, a monument of permanence, a colossus of power in his men. When that spirit di- minished, he was overpowered and he died in solitude on a desert island. A WVhether it is the builder, or the general, or the president of a corporation, or the captain of the football team, each 1'espective person senses the something that tells him he can not work alone. He has a sixth sense that warns him of an impending obstacle that must be surmounted by the indefatigable energies of more than one person. The energies, the combined etlforts, and the determination of our group of students make School Spirit. School Spirit is that something that binds students in a close bond. It makes them breathe the Sallie atmosphere of f1'iendship, have the same determination that makes possible a school, a team or an organization of any kind. Destroy this so-called School Spirit and you have chaos, tumult, disorder and defeat. To be proficient in studies, to be a brilliant leader, to be a master ot' strategy, you must re- alize the u11i0n that has strength, durability, permanence, and which is free from germs, grit, or destruction to hinder its lusty progress. Our high school has seen the changes of administration when School Spirit has become unbalanced, but at the present, time the old San Mateo High School Spiritv--In Hoc Signo Vincimus. 1 Through the co-operative efforts of our faculty, and our er-board, under the guidance of Thornton Posey, school functions have been promoted and encouraged on a higher scale than ever before. THE ELM our PAGE 5 J cb THE Clubs 'lliallre Active Part in High School lleillle ELM LUBS in San Mateo High School have come to mean more in the past year than ever before. .,,, Various interests have started new clubs, so that San Mateo now boasts of some of the finect groups in any of the high schools of its size in California. During major periods the clubs meet and various days have been arranged so that a student may belong to more than one club. , The BARKERS, CLUB was formed to issue the semi-annual Elm, the staff of which is chosen from its members. There are thirty members of the Club with Anna Ubbe, Editor, Jane Mul- cahy, Secretary-Treasurerg Gordon Stollery, Historian. Miss Mantz is the advisor ot' the Barkers' Club. This term the club sponsored a contest of stories that were printed in the Hi, with prizes offered for the best stories submitted. Membership cards were issued to the members and they were inclosed in a small case that the art students in the Barkers Club designed. The pin is a green-gold Elm. The PRESS CLUB is composed of students who have taken or are taking Journalism. The officers for the semester were: Donald Smith, President, Reina Sutherland, Vice-President, .Ioan Brinkhurst, Secretary-Treasurer. L- ff ,f 'iff X f' ff we Members of Barkers, Club, and Press Club, the two pizlvliccztibibwlizations, have proved their efficiency in recent editions of the Elm and the weekly PAGE editions of the Hi. The popularity of the publication department has been 6 indicated by the large increase in membership.

Mrs. Murphy, who is the advisor of the Press Club, has tried, and has succeeded i11 further- ing the object of the club, which is to build up enthusiasm for Journalism. The HONKJII SOCIETY is one of the clubs that everyone would enjoy belonging to. It consists of students who achieve high scholastic honors. Jane Mulcahy, President, Harold Holenstein, Vice-President, Ravia Owen, Secretary, Frances Young, Ex-Board Representative. Miss Hazel XVolhaupter is the faculty advisor, and has furthered thepinterests of this club extensively. On October 17 the Honor Society celebrated Virgil's birthday and sponsored an assembly for the student body, with Jack Curtis as speaker, and two student speakers: Anna Uhbe, and R. H. Bost, who gave different phases of Virgilis life. The Honor Society has a silver club pin with S. M. inscribed on it. It also awards a gold pin for six semesters of membership. Knights of the Kameraj' otherwise known as the CAMERA CLUB, was formed in the fall of 1930. Officers were: Ruth Mather, Presidentg Jack Keary, Vice-President, Mona Smith, Secre- taryg Bill XVhitaker, Treasurer. Miss Dietrich is faculty advisor and explains that the main object of the club is to learn the elements of successful picture taking and the possibilities of photography. One of the most important clubs is the HI-Y, which was formed for the purpose of promot- ing clean living, clean activities, clean scholarship, clean activities, clean speech and contagious Engineers' Club Has Talccn Successful Stridcs in Pasl Year TY1E ELN1 I-T-l PAGE 7 ooo yi-1 Christian character. The faculty advisor is Mr. Acheson and officers: Thorton Posey, Presidentg THE John Stelter, Vice-Presidentg Andre Rognier, Secretaryg Siki Yama, Treasurer. ' e ELM Members have succeeded in patrolling the gym during basketball games, thus keeping order. In the long list of clubs we must by all means not forget the Glee Club organization which furnished entertainment at assemblies and rallies. Mr. Dunn has charge of this activity and has succeeded admirably in organizing some eighty pupils in a short time. As the Elm goes to press, a new club is organizing: the Debate Club under Miss Hedrick. If it is successful, it will meet league teams in the spring in public debates. Now, as in the past, it is the duty of students to interest themselves i11 these clubs which have been organized solely for their benefit. As this interest has been great in former years, let us hope it will continue in the future. fat? l x PAGE The Hi-Y Places Cl Premium Upon Clmraeter Development. 3 Honor Society Aims to Place Scholarship Highest. Dramatics Add Luster to Social Activities HE large numbers who came to every try-out, and the enthusiastic audiences at each pro- duction seemed to show that the dramatic art is exceedingly popular in San Mateo High School. Any tendency in that direction has been aided hy the reorganization of the Play- makers' Club, a group that has been in existence in San Mateo High for over ten years. It im- mediately proved its popularity when forty students joined. There are no requirements for membership except an interest in dramatics. Playmakers' Nightf a semi-annual event, held on October 22, was the main activity of the club.

Owing to the successful PAGE career of the Associated Girl Students, the A. B. S. was formed on similar 10 ideals and promises to enrich the standards set. A. G. S., Resumes Vigiiilantt Role HE Associated Girl Students is the organization consisting of all the girls in the San Mateo High School. The governing group of the organization is the girls' Cabinet. The oilicers of the A. G. S., together with the chairmen ot' six departments, constitute the Cabinet. The Board of Representatives also plays an active part in the A. G. S. This Board is made up of girls elected at the beginning ot' each semester to represent their major groups. This body of girls sponsors all the drives of the school. The presiding oflicer of the Representatives is the vice-president of the A.'G. S. The work of the Associated Girl Students has been so successful, that the boys of the school, last semester, formed the Associated Boy Students. This organization is prospering ad- mirably, and the boys are enthusiastic. Last year the Cabinet started a tradition,which the girls hope to carry out every year, namely, that of working on a project each semester. During the fall term of 1929 the girls pre- sented the school with the San Mateo banner. In the spring ot' 1930 the A. G. S. room was fur- nished as a project. This term the Cabinet has agreed to help furnish the Little Theater by getting screens for the stage. The officers of the A. G. S. this year are: Betty Bennett, President, Eva Riordan, Vice- President, Jane Mulcahy, Secretary, Vivian Hauge, Treasurer. The departments of the A. G. S. are: Social Service-Eva Riordan, Chairman, Ruth Mather, Vice-Chairmang with Elizabeth Savage, Ethel Robison, Normandene Biss, Ravia Owen and Athena Pantages. School Activities-Beverly McCurdy, Chairman, Lee Doane, Vice-Chairman, with Katherine Burke, Lillie Selig, Bonnie Smith, Ja11e Tomhagen and Margaret Robertson. Home-Dorothy Rones, Chairmang Bunny Archer, Vice-Chairman, with Jeanne McKenzie, Mar- garet Hallinan, Lorraine Anderson, Dorothy Coll and Betty Enquist. Publicity-Colleen Clark, Chairman, Reina Sutherland, Vice-Chairman, with Esther Darby, Sara-Lyne Posey, Hele11 Van- denbos, Lucile Connolley and Mary Bria.

The band has been working hrad to improve its organization and is reap- ing rewards. Football and basketball games are made more interesting and Colorful through the efforts of this group. The orchestra, catering to the more classical tastes of the students, has rendered its services to assemblies and entertainments in the past. SPQRTS Alu' nfs-was A S- w,-N San Mateo High School, through the efforts of enthusiastic students zvho have donated their services to the development and support of inter-class and interscholastic sports, has lived up to its reputation of having attained high rank in all athletic activities in zvhich it has partalcen. Football, basketball, and track have comprised the major opportunities in the athletic field, but with the opening of the swimming tank-one of the largest and finest in the state-this field has been enlarged. U ul, l THE ELM oo 11 PAGE 13 .- :Q-1 V H I1 E LM PAGE 14 San Mateo Team Guards Goal Successfully KIPPIQR GRIFFIN piloted his good ship Bearcat through good and bad straits this fall, and en- countered seas that at times attempted to upset his sturdy craft. Although progressing through choppy waters most of the time, the good ship Bearcat never once weighed anchor. One of the first expected upsets during the voyage was a powerful Viking fleet, numbering eleven, who were boasting of being the best craft on the high seas. Although new in these parts, Skipper Griffin maneuvered his ship so expertly that he scraped through the Viking in good shape. and nosed into the good port of Palo Alto with a tie draped around his neck. On the horizon appeared another vessel, one of dark, crude methods, that was termed in nautical circles a battleship. This seemed a new threat to the Bearcat, as no facts or rumors had leaked about as to what sort of a vessel the San Jose ship was. With fight in their souls, and the P. A. L. not far off, all motors roared in harmony, and the Bearcat hoisted topsail, and towed their victim into port. This decisive victory quartered the Matean vessel among such stellar craft as the bark Burlingame, and even small as she was, the Bearcat featured speed, fight, and battle, she had no water line, and would plunge into the depths rather than stop at a marked object. After pulling in her hauser, which terminated a week's rest in the drydock at San Mateo, Captain Griffin had made all minor repairs, and was off to sink the Burlingame merchant ma- rine. Clear ocean appeared off port, starboard, and bow, but things forward looked gloomy, and a frail canoe piloted by the Cherokee Indians appeared on the scene. The backwash of the Ma- teans was a little too much for the Sequoia charges-and canoe, Indians and all were upset. XVith all hurdles topped but one, Skipper Griffin primed his crew for the battle royal, the good ship Blingum was a lumbering barge, and its defensive work was like a battering ram. Although outclassed by weight, a fast Bearcat boat entered Burlingame waters, and with all steam up, tried to press the Panthers' fur into a unique parlor rug. The uBliI1gl1H1', ship floun- dered, then revived itself, and had a chance to sink the Matean hopes. Bearcat pumps were im- mediately put into action, and a last revival was made to subdue the Blingun ship. The San Mateo craft approached within ten yards of the Panther vessel, then sank with all hands on board. They were defeated, but their port had not been entered. So ended the San Mateo football team's hopes for a win over Burlingame, and for the Pe- ninsula Athletic League title. Though the Panther triumphed, a Bearcat moral victory remains, First Team lVith An Uncrossed Goal Line x . 0 , N ' I'-'1 -raw-V MAUI -O, THE , ELM Q --O-W, 1 4 1 I 41 5 4 'Z 1. 'i 4 4 4 'M npr .

' Coach Griffin tutored the San Mateo squad to perfection, and their league opponents did not cross the Bearcat goal line. He took the material in hand with Coach Gill, and worked a piece ol' disorganized machinery into the sweetest humming machine that could be wished. It had the necessary spark, push, speed, and durability to outfight any opponent that appeared on the San Mateo schedule. Coach Gill assisted Bert Griffin throughout the season, and the assistance rendered by him helped make the San Mateo team a perfect mechanism. In the making of the machine, essential parts had to be secured to make every department click, each part was fitted and refiitted, until it moulded into a finished product. Looking into the various divisions of the team, experienced material is found in nearly every position. Nine of the eleven first string are lost by graduation, and the squad of twenty-nine is cut to the num- ber of nine for next year's varsity. The huge number of twenty graduate, and the rebuilding of the machine will call for a big overhauling next fall. In the backfield booths, Cafferata, B. Matson, R. Vespa, and K. Yama performed mainly, while P. Matson saw some action at a halfback position. The forward wall was well repre- sented by John Gard, VValt Chickazola, Stan Finn, XVag Jorgensen, Jack Keary, Red Thorn and Roger Rogers.

Swimming the length of the pool six times was the first test we had to pass to become eligible. We certainly were a tired bunch after that workout. I TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 23. Today over fifty-five girls turned out for the first speedball practice of the season. There probably will be only three teams, as there are not enough seniors out. The frosh will be coached by Lorraine Loewe, the sophs by Grace O'Neill, and the juniors by Dorothy Botto. Frances Fall is general manager. XNEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 24. Today I learned all about the point system. The G. P. A. L. block is awarded for 100 points, and a block S. M. for 250. The present block S. M. Society con- sists of: June Stumbles, presidentg Edith Hall, Marie Lucas, Dot Moore, and Jennie Matulich. If I'm good, I should get my block in my junior year. INIONDAY, OCTOBER 13. Today we played the juniors, and we scrubs certainly put up a good fight. In fact, it took the upper classmen six quarters to down us. The game was finally ended with a goal by Marie Lucas, making the score 3-0. XVe're looking for better luck next time! TUESDAY, OCTOBER 14. XVhat a pleasant change. XVe triumphed over the sophs by a 6-0 score, but it was a fight from start to finish. Next Thursday we play the winner of the soph- junior game to decide the championship. WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 14. This afternoon I stopped to watch the soph-junior game. That certainly was a close game, for after four hard quarters the juniors won by only a 2-0 score. NVe hope, however, to keep the juniors from repeating their M0nday's victory. THURSDAY, OCToBER 15. Alas! We were forced to bow to the juniors to the tune of a 6-0 defeat. It really is a consolation to realize that we have three years left in which to win a championship. Later: The low seniors became school champions in basketball and get numerals. Frances Fall has certainly proved to be a capable manager. She believes in giving every one a chance to play, and, as a result, sixteen juniors will receive numerals. The lucky girls are: T.

S or, THE ELM L?l Zo PAGE 17 .11-1 1 on lltllgs Give Basketball Pans Treat AN MA'rEo's 110-pound squad, led by Capt. R. H. Bost, opened the P. A. L. schedule with the Sequoia Cherokees at Redwood City. The Bearcats displayed a fair brand of basketball and with a second half drive pulled out a 23 to 10 win. The Palo Alto Vikings next journeyed to San Mateo to receive a 12 to 3 defeat in a slow and listless game featured only by the defense of the Bearcats. The third and final game of the first half of the Bearcat sched- ule found the Bearcats on the Panther court. Remarkable defense was displayed on both teams in the first quarter and at the end it was scoreless. Early in the second quarter Capt. Bost broke the ice with a long shot. However, this ended the scoring for the Bearcats. Burlingame, scoring two baskets and a free shot, forged into a 5 to 2 lead at the half. Try as they might, the Bearcats could not overcome that lead and when the final gun had sounded they were on the short end of a 16 to 13 score. This marked the first of a series of Bearcat defeats which lasted throughout the season. The Cherokees journeyed to San Mateo for their return game. After four quarters of hard, gruelling basketball, the Bearcats were again on the short end of the score-this time 18 to 15. Paly's tens retaliated for the defeat they had received at the h2ll1dS of the Bearcats and administered a 14 to 10 defeat, the week following. The final game of the season found the Bearcats once more tangling with the Burlingame Panthers and once more defeated by a superior Panther team 18 to 8. Capt. R. H. Bost proved a worthy leader and constantly strove for victory for his team. Sike Yama proved to be the best floor man on the team. The find of the season was Jack Crown, who was a great addition to the Bearcats. Another find was Kenchi Adachi, who, with his fine defensive and passing game, proved a great help in many of the Bearcats' games. Herb Goldman and Bob Gould battled throughout the season for the fifth position on the team. Substitutes of great ,value to the team were: Norm Day, Pat Gilbride, and John Malinvarno. In the modern coaching system, it is the preliminary games that can make or break a season, and recognizing this, Coach Acheson lost no opportunity to give his teams continual practice before the opening of the league season. Even at the beginning of the season the team showed good material, however, and the teams were infrequently on the short end of the score. THE ELM i771 3 if I- ? , . .

San Mateo Burlingame Zffligs Play lf-llaird, llfast Season .xP'rAlNI2o first by XVillia Colagiovanni and then by Bus VValker, the 120's finished a very successful season with four victories and two defeats. Their first game with VVillie Colagiovanni as high point man found the Bearcats on the long end of a 20 to 14 score against Sequoia's Cherokees. Against Palo Alto the twenties suffered one of their two de- feats of the season. The final score was 18 to 15. In the following week Burlingame lost to a fighting Bearcat team in one of the most exciting games of the season. The game was never on ice until the closing moments of play when Bus VValker sank a short shot to put the 20's decidedly in front. In the practice of the week following, the Bearcats suffered a severe blow when Capt. Colagiovanni injured his knee and was lost to the team for the rest of the year. Minus his services, the rejuvenated team, with Jack wVlSI'l0lll in that forward berth and Bus VValker as captain, again proved too much for Sequoia. The league leading Palo Alto twenties vainly tried to stem the Bearcats' attack. The Burlingame Panthers wrecked the championship hopes of the Bearcats when they eked out an 18 to 16 win. The 120's were clearly outplayed in the first half. They rallied gamely in the sec- ond half, but fell short in their attempt. The player of most value to the team was Bus Walker, who, with his all-around Work, was easily most outstanding. Willie Colagiovanni once again this year proved to be the best shot on the team. Bill Hoag, the made-over tens' player, was welcomed with open hands by the twenties who were sadly in need of re- serve strength. John Stetter, when he struck his stride, also proved to be an outstanding player. Louis Bombini, co-working with Bus VValker at the guard positions, helped the Bearcats out of many a tight spot. Jack VVisnom was a great aide at Colagio- vanni's vacated forward berth. Other players on the 120-pound roster included Hans Muhlman, Joe Neiderritter, and Doug Leith. To the coach is always due much credit for keeping up the spirit among the boys, and Coach Acheson never flagged in his attempts to promote a successful season and to give all the boys a chance. If the unlimited teams are able to hold their own as the 10's and 20's have during their season, basketball will have been a memorable sport at San Mateo in 1930-1931. The teams came perilously near a P. A. L. victory this season. With the same spirit and material next year, San Mateo should come out on top.

Dodging through two lanes of angry traffic the policeman leaped. hastening to the source of this ery. Upon reaching the sidewalk he paused. Yes, there it was again. Oh, let me alone! Please!,, He opened the door of the building and dashed up the stairs, three at a time. Hastening down the narrow corridor, he stopped before a door Ellltl flung it open. XVith a steel object in his hand, a tall blonde man was standing over a youth in evident agony-filling a tooth. Officer Murphy stood paralyzed. For the love 0' Mike! he exclaimed, and left in disgust, muttering that dentists give anyone a pain. XVell, young man, said Dr. Mason, putting away the buzzer, the worst is over. No! How's Marian. Bill? asked the dentist, in an effort to divert Bill's attention. Bill paused to straighten his purple and red-dotted tie. I guess it's all over with us, he said mourn- fully. As he shook his head the room was filled with an odor like lilacs in the rain. How's that? inquired the dentist, always interested in the problems of love-sick youth. He had been disappointed in love when he was young and had a sort of brotherly feeling for his fellow sufferers. VVell, Bill replied slowly, you know lately I have been doing odd jobs a11d taking care of the Arnolds' kids fthey live next doorl to earn enough money to buy Marian a ring. VVe were going to be married-, Bill's face now assumed the melancholy expression of one who has been done a great injustice. And of course, I had to take her out quite often. She was, he added, rather expensive. By the wayf' put in Dr. Mason, trying to conceal a smile at the thought of married at eighteen on fifteen dollars a month, where did you meet this Marian ? Oh, one day on the way home from Sunday School. I stopped behind the family to clean out the frosting dish at Auntts house. After I left, I started to walk down the sidewalk back- wards. I had my watch in my hand seeing how quickly I could reach the corner without step- ping on the lines. All of a sudden I bumped into something, and turning around I saw the most beautiful girl I had ever seen-and prob- ably ever will see. He paused, raptuously. Marian-she had been walking along powder- ing her nose and her compact and my watch were thrown into the middle of the street. After I got these, she thanked me again and again. She said no other man had ever treated her so ehivalrously. Although her clothes weren'l so bad, I could see she was starving, so 73 noon. VVhen I got there, she suggested going to the Palace. That's awfully expensive. I only had a dollar and a half, and when she finished ordering, I said I'd had my dinner and bought a package of Life Savers. 'Quite an expensive young lady, put in Dr. Mason. Oh, no! She probably hadn't eaten for days -weeks, maybe-but she's so sweet-so won- derful. I, p1'etended I was 1'ich. I didn't want her to know I was almost a pauper. Finally she said she would marry me, and asked me to get her a ring. Yesterday I bought one of Brown's three dollar and ninety-eight diamond rings. XVhen I brought it to her house, she answered the door herself. Honey, I said, live got a surprise for you, and then I started. The price 'il53.98' was marked on the bottom in heavy figures. 'And I've got one for you. Who was that dizzy blond you were out with last night?' I said, 'I was-er' 'XVhere were you, then?' 'I was-er-at the hospital with Jimmy Young' How was I to tell her I had spent the evening feeding the bottle to the Arnolds' baby? In the midst of this painful process, the door was softly opened. Stick 'em up!,' Turning around, Dr. Mason saw two men with black masks over their faces. In the right hand of each was a pistol. Stick 'em up, the taller repeated. Dr. Mason obeyed. How about you in the chair ?', he continued, taking a few steps forward until he was in front of Bill. Bill had sunk back into the chair with a sigh of relief. Now, he thought, I can get rid of this ring. Pete,,' ordered the taller one, you cover these here two. I'll search the place. He advanced to Dr. Mason, and from him took his watch and all his cash. Open your mouth I Dr, Mason did as he was told. Oh, they're only false-no gold in them. You can keep 'em. He took the money from the register and the gold for fillings from the cabinet. After he had removed 9V61'ylLhII1Q of value, transportable in the place, he turned to leave. His companion touched him on the arm. How about this one? he said, pointing to Bill. Bill leaned forward expectantly. Now was the chance! He took out the ring and handed to Pete. ' Take it. You poor fellows need it more than I do. Besides, I don't want it. The leader shrugged his shoulders. W'e don't rob children. Keep it, young fel- low, and surprise the girl friend. 97 STAFF QE THE ELM 1 . ILIlli0I' ....................... ......

B o B SMITH EDITORIAL NLY a dime! XVhat is a dime but two candy ' bars from the co-op at noon? Yet a dime from each 0I'gEiI1lZ2llIl0I1,S member was the dime given with the School Spirit that made this Elm possible. For the first time we have a picture of each active organization in school. VVithout this dime many of these would neces- sarily have been omitted. It is true that a few students who remembered to stand before the camera forgot when collection time arrived, but these were in the minority. The editor appreci- ates the co-operation of the organizations, to- gether with the aid of the Elm staff. Y X f' , 1 , r , f - 'N X .f N .J ,N . f El M6 u , 1, .
