A iRcrnrJi SSrrakrr Sandwich High School or rather, one of its Alumni members has a record that “can’t be beat.” Miss Blanche Lincoln, ’12, has this remarkable record. She has attended the Sandwich schools for twelve consecutive years without an absence and without a tardiness against her. No absence or tardiness was her slogan and she lived up to it, but not without difficulty. For instance, we remember that once she came to school on crutches, because of a sprained ankle. We have heard of other cases, where a pupil had this record for four or even six years, but this, we believe is a record breaker, not only for Sandwich, Illinois, but for the entire United States. 15 - tO 17 MISS FRANCES BUNNEL Mathematics Languages Shurtliff College MISS MAUI) WEBSTER Principal English Ohio Wesleyan University University of Chicago MR.

It seems impossible that S. H. S. could go on without us! Think of the galaxy of stars that has brightened the sky of learning. When will you find another class that can furnish a student to equal Miss Mildred Rasmusen’s record for four years, scholarship, 97 plus; good looks, E plus; and popularity, E plus. What “character artists” we have in Coy, Tucker, and Latham. What a record our dramatic club has,—“the best amateur play ever given in Sandwich.” Our three B’s, Barrows, Bossong and Berry brought us credit for “continued application” in the study hall. And for Musical ability! How flat and tuneless would life be without our musicians, Gretchen Sibley, Russel Wright, Alta Parks, Mabel Halsey, Mabel Klotz, “Polly,” and Dickinson. How the teachers have loved us! Many a day we have been seen relating to the Principal our clever little acts, which have stirred their deep affection. As a class we have to our credit: Seven honor students: Mildred Rasmusen, Mabel Halsey, Leona Ogilvie, Paul Coy, Jack Tucker, Gladys Thompson, and Lois Barrows. One of the best class plays ever given in years. The 1915 Reflector, out on time and paid for. An amusing Bazaar, a clever vaudeville, a successful supper and a highly enjoyable Senior-Junior Banquet. We’ve spent four happy years in S. H. S. As the 1915 Seniors go and the 1916 Seniors come, here’s a toast to the dear old school. Our High School, may her fame and her usefulness never cease! 21 r 1 -E-J- }|t Daniel Dickinson, Jr., “Dick” Class President (3) (4) S. H. S. Vodvil Co.

There was a time when this name would not have been appropriate, that was in the balmy days of our early Sophomore year, when the men of the class worked with us steadily and seriously during the week and joined us strenuously and joyfully in our frolics on Friday nights. The first intimation that our boys were not the true Chesterfields we had thot them, was when w'e were forced to raise ten cents, with which to purchase a P. 0. order, with which to reimburse our beloved chaperon, for whom our unchivalrous boys had neglected to purchase admission to the Grand in Plano. Other and more serious errors on their part brot us, at last, to the conclusion that the “men” of our class should be excluded from any part of our class history until they shall be ready to become reinstated in our favor. Finally, we agreed that peace can be secured only on the following condition : That the following questions be answered : 1. Who had the nerve to send M. B. a postcard? 2. Will it be possible for D. B. to secure the services of 0. G. in running his aeroplane from here to Evanston? 3. Oh, where and oh, where is Alma’s wandering Jew? 4. Is there an available place to store E. H.’s views of California? 5. E. H. What comfort there is for the broken hearted, in peroxide blondes? 6. Since Dorothy is so brilliant in school, why is it she can’t remember she has one date, before she engages another ? 7. What has become of all the good looking girls in our class? Dorothy Hinman, ’16. 31 [}£ ©Ift (Elork I sat at my desk in the Schoolroom, Till the clock should strike the hour, And I gazed on its face above me And pondered it o’er and o’er. And I thot how many hundreds Of restless girls and boys Had watched that clock and listened To its solemn ticking noise. And 1 wondered what would happen, If the old clock could but tell, Of the foolish fears and fancies And the mischief done as well. But my dreaming was rudely broken, By the clang of the bell to pass, And I thot with grave misgivings Of the solid geometry class. But the clock with its steady ticking, Will remain, as the years go by, Loyal forever and ever To our good old Sandwich High. Dorothy Hinman, ’16 HIS FIRST PERFECTO 33 SOPHOMORES HR—e—g- -Q—RH uphmnorra President—Dessie Miller. Vice President—Demian Hough. Secretary—Vera Kegel. On August 31, 1914, we the class of ’17, returned to S. H. S. as Sophomores. We immediately made our presence known to the Freshmen, of whom only the bravest dared to venture out, after dark, during the first week of school. For further details concerning the doings of that week, ask Francis Spickerman or Howell Hinman, two of the victims Weir, fullback; Clark, guard; and Johnson and Lewis, ends, represented the Sophomores on the Eleven. Details of the Sophomore bob-party,—very cold night, great ride, and good time. Gladys Neal would like to know the best road to Newark. It may be a “long, long way to Tipperary,” but it isn’t very far to Harrod’s. Ask Frank McQuoun. For sale—A good line of talk. H. Latham. Wanted—Some one to polish my shoes. Glendon Weir. Lewis Kern’s interest is in Somonauk these days. Would Hurdman “Bark” if Dessie Miller shold move away. Miss Bunnel says, “You can always tell a Sophomore but you can’t tell him much.” We wonder why Clarence Clark likes to look to animal books so much? Perhaps he loves “Cows and Chickens.” The Sophomores have, as a class, a scholarship record to be proud of, and we hope as Juniors to live up to our old record. Karl Ekblad, ’17. 35 38 FRESHMEN hR—e—b e-ar-RH iFrrslimpit We entered this year with the largest class in High. Several members have dropped out; among them, Arthur Berg-strand. Two new members joined our class about the first of December. We like our work and our teachers and hope everything progresses in the years to come, as this one has. Miss Bunnel thinks the Algebra class all very bright and studious. A motion—That corporal punishment be abolished in Mr. Wade’s classes. (Signed) Joseph Francis We have quite a bit of class spirit and have had some jolly times this winter. We enjoyed a bob ride to Plano; a party at Frances Skinner’s, and at Bessie Burdick’s. One of the noticeable features of the latter’s party was the rapidity with which salad disappeared; especially among the boys. At Christmas time many of our class were remembered by the Seniors, which was very kind of them. Clarence Brimhall seemed rather cordial to the Senior girls for a while; and Howell Hinman to a dainty Junior. Wanted to know—Where Janet Stockham and Frances Schrader wandered to last Hallowe’en? Crawford King found an attraction at the skating rink, if—Fern was there. We, all, kindly remembered Howard on his birthday. Frank loves to entertain “Sonny” while waiting for his Sophomore friend. We have decided Crawford needs a special box at the postoffice in which to receive his super-abundance of letters from his fair friends. The first of December Miss Jenkins came and filled Miss Shields’ place. This caused a change in our classes having Miss Jenkins for English and Miss Webster for Latin. This suited the Latin pupils more than the English. Then here’s to the future, bright and prosperous; may we make the best of what it offers us.

It was very successfully played to a packed house. We must give the audience great credit for the ready and spontaneous recognition of the marked talent of the cast. All agreed it was the best class play ever given in Sandwich, in a word, it was a “scream from start to finish.” Without reflecting anything whatever upon the dramatic ability of the others, we must agree that Jack Tucker, as the rube miner, was the star member of the cast. He showed such surprising ability as a comedian, that should he take up acting as a life work, the electric lights would be his ultimate destiny. He was ably supported by the remainder of the cast, each playing his part exceedingly well and each receiving his share of the liberal applause. STAFF Dramatic Coach—Miss Maud Webster. Orchestra Director—Mr. Ivan Hough. Scene executed by Mr. Russel Wright in co-operation with Mrs. Gertrude Gage, of the Royal Theatre. 40 rar g--g-jE A §tmtuou0 mu On the evening of March 16th, 1915, the members of the Strenuous Life Company responded joyfully to Mrs. Justin Latham’s invitation to surprise “James Wobberts, 'Freshman.” The occasion was Wendell’s eighteenth birthday anniversary. Covers were laid for thirteen, the ten members, Miss Webster and Latham Castle and Hollis Latham. The table looked beautiful, with its dainty green and white decorations and the bountiful dinner tasted so good that the guests were reluctant to leave in time for rehearsal. The place-cards bore the stage name of the guests and an appropriate quotation. The evening will be remembered as an unusually happy one. fflotiufl Company The company, at present consists of: Russel Wright, Manager. Paul Coy. Daniel Dickinson, Baritone, blackface. Roland Brady, Rube Comedian. Jack Tucker, Rube Comedian. William Polakowsky, German Comedian. The S. H. S. Vodvil Company was organized in the winter of 1912-13. Dickinson and Brady were in the original cast. During their first season they appeared twice at both the Royal Theatre, Sandwich, and the Grand Opera House, Plano. The company presented at each performance, two high class, clever vodvil acts, one a comedy musical act and the other a sketch. “The Awkward Squad,” and “The Medica,” were the two successful sketches. This season the company was reorganized for the benefit of the Annual, and is preparing some very clever and original vaudeville. 41 HQ—e—g fJJuBtr—Chorus This organization is open to all High School students, regardless of musical ability. It has eighty members, the number of girls and of boys being nearly equal. The chorus meets each Friday afternoon for half an hour. Classical songs and choruses are studied. However, songs of the school type, with a good deal of pep in them are the most popular with the students, if not with Miss McKindley, under whose instruction our musical studies are conducted. (Efjoral nrirtij This society was organized for the first time this year. It consists of about fifteen male voices and as many female voices. It is, perhaps, the best of our best musical society, as its members are picked from the other two groups, only the better voices being selected. Three times, it has been called upon to furnish music for some special occasion. First, we furnished music between the acts at a Christmas production of “Birds’ Christmas Carol.” Sunday evening, March 28, 1915, we furnished the music at the Methodist church and again at the Presbyterian church on Easter. Miss Gretchen Sibley is accompanist for this, as well as for the other two musical societies. (Btrls ( lee (Club “The Glee Club is a tuneful band Of maids who love to sing, With strains of music soft and loud We make the echoes ring. When standiny in a row, we’re like A keyboard black and white From which our leader strikes a chord Of music sad or bright. Tho new keys take the old one’s place With each swift passing year, We’ll trust that no discordant note Will mar our music clear.” 42 43 Atltlctirs Sandwich High School does not “go in” for athletics as much as does the average High School. This is due, in the main, to two things: the lack of interest on the part of the students and to the fact that, a first class coach is not always available. This season the football team, as far as winning was concerned, was a failure. It has to its credit, but one game won. But remember, glory does not consist in the winning, but rather in the effort to win. Their opponents, for the most part, were heavier, more experienced men. They played against such odds, that they could hardly hope to win. People of Sandwich: If you would like to see athletics have a prominent place in our High School, patronize the home football games and the home baseball games. If, when the boys go out on to the field, they can see the side lines packed with a cheering crowd, they will put all their life into the game and they will play to win. I hen too, it will help them financially. Finances have always been embarrassing probem to the Athletic Association of S. H. S. and it is simply because you won’t attend the home games. 44 45 Eurnts August 31—School opens with three new teachers, Misses Shields, Conway and Mr. Wade, and a new floor.

Only—the chuckle was evidently not destined for Alicia’s ears, for as she reached the house, she found her uncle not in the best of humor. One of the girl’s themes—an essay on nature,—lay on the table. Apparently, it looks innocent enough, but Alicia’s far-seeing gaze was directed wonderingly towards the rather forced expression on Uncle Obed’s face. “Llicia, I saw Mr. Woods today, and he spoke of your plans for college. Now 1 want you to get that idea out of your head right now. All college is good for, is to get a lot of fool notions into one’s head.” Alicia wisely remained silent. Something in her uncle’s voice drew her attention. He did not seem quite as vehement in the pursuit of his beliefs as usual. Could he—? But Alicia knew when to hold her tongue,—she would let matters take their course. She had long set her heart on going to college, but on being left an orphan in her Senior year in High School, had gone to live with Uncle Obed, whose views on education, rather, differed from those of her indulgent father. The girl looked out on the lawn. A maze of holly-hock entangling themselves with one another, were striving to exist against great odds. A clump of rose bushes, which had never borne roses since Alicia could remember, straggled over the front gate. The girl’s heart often ached for these poor forsaken objects of nature. A lover of nature, and an enthusiastic student of Botany, she had longed to treat her uncle’s plants in a scientific way, but his prejudices prevented. Saturday afternoon, while busy in the kitchen, Alicia’s glance was directed towards the side door, out of which Uncle Obed was stealthily making his exit. Something bright and shiny flashed in his hands, as it encountered the sunlight. Alicia wondered, but returned to her work. Half an hour later, the girl encountered her uncle returning to the house. The sheepish, half-defiant look on the old man’s face aroused her suspicions. But silence was her motto and she said nothing. Numerous incidents during the following week caused Alicia to wonder. Several packages tinted with bright colors, which had been carelessly left on the window sill, were hurriedly concealed by Uncle 48 I o rx pT i FI r r 1 I X. vi J=5 Obed, when his niece’s back was turned. For a week “Caldwell’s Principles of Botany,” had been missing from Alicia’s library. Little white particles scattered in the freshly hoed earth in one corner of the lawn caused Alicia to silently rejoice. Still she said nothing, but quietly pursued her studies, not mentioning college to her uncle. Late in the spring, Uncle Obed’s pile of dirt seemed to have taken on life. The little plot was fairly sprouted with activity. With shiny eyes Alicia rushed in to the house. Her uncle, in tones, less gruff than usual, and with averted gaze, put the questions to her: “Alicia, what was it you got the medal for the other day?” “O, a theme in Botany, why?” “Well, now I was just thinking—do they give any special course in that line in college, I don’t believe in colleges but if you could work up anything in the study of botany, it might be worth while.” Alicia’s grateful face well repaid Uncle Obed for the effort the words had cost him. He took great pride in his flowers that summer, but the joy that Alicia brought to him four years later, as honor student of her class, was greater than any he had ever, before, experienced.

Porch of the Andrews Home, morning in mid-summer, hammock, two wicker chairs and a small table. Characters. Jane Andrews, girl of twenty, distinguished in appearance, just returned from wintering in the “city.” Nancy Grey, medium height, excitable and nineteen. Richard Lawrence, fiance of Jane, light, good looking. Ted Holmes slender, well-built, well tailored, red hair and gray eyes. Jane—Oh yes, Aunt May approved. She was quite taken with Richard’s lovely manners. So was I. Nancy—Well, it’s sure a peach of a diamond he gave you anyway. Jane—Isn’t it; but Dick, when you see him! But now I’ve talked enough of my own affairs. What was it you were so excited over when you came? Nancy—How did you know-? But to tell you, it’s the Phrenologist. Jane—Phrenologist! A new book? Nancy—Oh no! A Phrenologist! A man. He was here last month, told everyone’s—what would you say? Forte. I’ve never told a soul what mine is, but I've noticed and it’s honestly so. Jane—What’s so? Don’t keep a person in suspense, it is destructive to poise. Nancy—“The curvature of that especial area of the cranium devoted to embryo of the mystical power of divination is developed to—” Jane—Stop, tell me in English what you are talking about, if you know. Nancy—It’s just what he said,—that I have an over-developed bump of intuition. It’s so too, why just the other day— Jane—I suppose your intuitive bump told you that Dick is coming out Saturday on the late train and you are coming over to meet him. Cousin Ted, you know I’ve spoken of him, teases me dreadfully, 50 he said Dick would be here in two weeks or he’d miss his guess. You should know Ted. Nancy—I’d like to. But how does Dick look? Jane—Like Dick, that’s all. He does not look or act like anyone I ever saw. Perhaps people wouldn’t call him handsome, but he has the loveliest manners. Nancy—So you said. Rave on. Is he light, dark or indifferent? Short, tall, or skinny, or fat? Jane—Of course he isn’t fat. He is light and a little above the average height. You wait till Sunday. Nancy—I’m going to the city and get a new, long-needed dress for the occasion. I’m almost consumed with curiosity. Jane—I’m so anxious for you to meet Ted. He’s coming out this summer on his vacation, so you’ll have a chance. Don’t forget Sunday at—, well, just as soon as you san get there. Nancy—Forget! Would I forget to breathe? But I must go home and tell mother. ’Bye. Jane—Goodbye, Nancy. Scene II. Day coach on passenger train, two days later. Nancy is seated in the partly filled coach, packages piled up on the seat beside her. Nancy—Well, that’s over, what a nasty, hot day to spend in the city. I know I look terrible and I’m sure my nose is shiny. But my dress is a dream, it’s almost worth it. (Enter Ted Holmes, carrying a grip. He sits down opposite Nancy, on the sunny side of the car. They exchange glances.) Ted (aside)—Some looker! Well, I’m glad I’m out of that hot hole. I wonder if Jane got my card? Nancy (aside)—I wonder if he noticed how shiny my nose is? O dear me, just as tho it made difference what he thot. Isn’t he good looking. How nice that red hair looks in the sun. (Their eyes meet again.) Nancy (confused)—Now he’ll surely think I’m trying to flirt. Oh dear! (Drops purse absently.) (Both reach for it, resulting in a collision which unsettles Nancy’s hat.) Ted—I beg pardon, allow me—(returning purse) Nancy (aside)—Now I’m blushing, he’ll think I’m trying to attract his attention. I might as well take my hat off I suppose. 51 Ted—Say, she looks better with it off. Gee, but it is warm over here in the sun and every seat is filled. Nancy (struggling with the window)—If I were a man I would swear. 1 won’t ask him to open it if I stifle. Ted (watching her)—Now for the kind old gentleman act. Perhaps it will win me a steady seat, too. “Can I help you to open the window?” Nancy—Oh, if you could please. There is a slight breeze. Ted—It is hot as an oven in the sun today. Whew! Nancy—Oh! I’ll move my things over and make room for you. Ted—-Say now, that is kind of you. Thanks (seats himself). Nancy picks up magazine and pretends to read. Ted—You’re reading it up side down. But why do we need to be unsociable. We fellow-travelers— Nancy—You must think I am a silly little fool, trying to pick up a flirtation with a strange man, merely because I like his looks— Ted—Do you really? Thanks. I didn’t tho, when you were kind enough— Nancy—To give you a seat and all the time you were thinking— Ted—What a jolly sort of a girl you were, not so stiff and formal that you couldn’t offer a kindness. Now you insult me by inferring that I had such a thot. Nancy—Why! Why! Ted—You may think I am fresh, but honestly, I think you’re a jolly good sort, or I did until you drew behind a wall of conventionality. Nancy—(contritely)—Well, I won’t do it again, I’ll prove that your first guess was right. Ted—Well, it’s settled, we’ll neither of us think of being formal this trip. Conventionality, I bury you, haste and depart (both laugh). Ted—May I see that magazine for a minute (she passes it over). Thanks. There. Here is a picture of the car I’ve ordered. It will be there when I get back to the city. Nancy—Isn’t it a beauty. Ted—Well I guess. Wish I had it now and we would be spinning along the road instead of here in this stuffy coach. Nancy (demurely smiling)—We? Ted—I should say so. Well, we may have another chance. Nancy—That would be great. I love motoring. But goodness me, I don’t even know your name. We haven’t been introduced. Ted—Well, that’s not our fault, is it. After today—well, where’s there a will, there’s a way. Oh, I’m some poet. Nancy—But how far are you going? Ted—Just as far as Blue Point, a little village down the line. Ever hear of it? Nancy (aside)—Well, I guess I have! I wonder whom he is going to see (thinking hard). I know it! Good looking, fair—well his 52 hair is red. He is Jane Andrews’ fiance! My intuition doesn’t fail me this time. Faithless creature! Wretch! (turns back and looks out of window.) Ted—Yes. I’m spending Sunday at Jane Andrews’. Nancy (turns round again)—Oh, is that true. Well, you needn’t have told me. I knew it. Ted—Oh, do you live there? Do you know Jane? Nancy—Most assuredly. Jane— Ted—Oh, she told you? Nancy—Yes, and if you please— Ted—But why this sudden change of temperature. You’re very cool. Shall I put down the window? Nancy—Sir, your jests are entirely lost on me (picks up magazine). Ted—Well, that’s queer. What have I done? If girls aren’t the strangest creatures. Maybe she’s kidding me. But she don’t look it. Now I wonder how Jane told her. She couldn’t have gotten my card until today. They must be thick. Maybe Jane will introduce me (to Nancy). Say— (Jane turns farther away.) Ted—Well, of all--- (Silence for two minutes.) Ted—There’s Blue Point. Now she will certainly have some time getting out of here. I’ll hang around and maybe I can help. Nancy—I’d like to get out, if you please. Ted—Oh, you’re welcome! Here’s your bag—Oh, I say—(exit Nancy) Well, there she goes. Dinged if I care (exit). Scene III. Jane—Yes, Dick’s coming tonight on the late train. I’m glad you came. Nancy’s coming over tomorrow and I know you will like her. Oh, here she is now (enter Nancy, very dignified). Jane—0—o—oh ! Nancy! Nancy—Well, I suppose we’ll have to meet sometime, but I’ll not go over there tomorrow. I guess not. Oh, Jane, I can’t come over tomorrow. Jane—What! Why! Cousin Ted has just come, the one I wanted you to meet. Oh, you must. Ted; Miss Grey. My cousin; Mr. Holmes. Ted—Very glad to meet you, Miss Grey. Where's a will there’s a way, you know. Nancy—Now you must think I am a little fool. I’m sorry I was disagreeable, but it was all the fault of the phrenologist. I’ll apply ice packs to that bump of intuition tonight. Ted—I had almost despaired of that motor ride, but is it a go? Nancy—You said, where’s a will, there’s a way. Curtain. 53 g—jk- Abe J. ®ol?en—Mbnleaale (Clunks anb utts “Can you imagine it? Five minutes to eight already and that Sam Liedman ain’t down yet. Ain’t I told him it t’at he should be here by half past seven or twenty-five minutes to eight by t’e clock?” Relieve me w’en I say it, if t’at man don’t watch his business now days—” he paused. The proprietor, head salesman and owner of the house,—“Abe J. Cohen, Wholesale Cloaks and Suits,” stood in the center of the office and salesroom of said concern, with feet set wide apart, derby on back of head and morning paper waving madly in the air. His face was livid with anger and it took on a crafty look as he resumed, nodding his head as his stubby little mustache twitched convulsively. “Um-huh-h, so-o, Liedman t’inks he beats me down by five minutes and how should I know it, Cat’s t’e nigger in the ash heap.” Another explosion, “T’e bum, t’e loafer—” Here he paused for hurried steps echoed down the hallway leading to the office door. Abe listened, hestitated and made a dive into the sample suit rack, concealing his chunky figure in the samples. The door opened and in rushed two worried looking, slender youths. They rushed out again, this time in their shirt sleeves, and to their respective desks. P'or a few minutes there was a busy shuffling of paper then,— “Well, Leon, I guess we beat the old man down again, ain’t it? Himmel, I was scart. But listen, Leon, how should he expect you should be here by half past seven, when wasn’t I out to Rosie Green-baum’s till after midnight? I been beatin’ t’at old geezer a week yet,” he laughed but the sample garments were thrown into a convulsive shudder, but not one sound. “Oh, t’at Rosie,” he continued, “Believe me, Leon, she is one queen. Not only is she a prince for style, Leon, but ain’t old man Greenbaum the best designer w’ich Fleichman Finkle ever got,—” He paused and turned pale, for out of the sample rack came Abe. His face distorted into a honeyed smile which was somewhat neutralized by a wicked glint in his eyes. He rubbed his hands together and took dainty steps towards the two terrified youths. “So glad you called ladie-es. Wouldn’t you lay off your cloaks? Directly, Hortense, will bring up t’e tea.” 54 But his control was gone. “Honestly, Liedman, a person would t’ink you t’ot you was a millionaire, when nobody knows it better t’an yourself, Liedman, you ain’t even a hundredaire. Listen, w’en I was a young feller, was I out chasing around wit’ t’e daughters of the head designers for competitors in t’e trade?” Abe’s head dropped until his chin nearly touched his chest. He shook his head slowly, his whole being reeking with despair. He continued in funereal tones, “To t’ink t’at Samuel Liedman, my head bookkeeper and office man and credit man and sub-salesman, Chicago, Illinois, t’is state, should be chasing out wit’ t’e daughter of Sol Green-baum—Greenbaum—ain’t you know it was Greenbaum w’ich is head designer over by Fleichman Finkle?” “Ain’t it Greenbaum w’ich designed t’at Hunter Green Basque, Liedman, w’ich caused us so much cancelations,—why even we must feed the cat condensed milk, the rats quit us?” As he spoke, the door opened and a prosperous individual entered. For a second Abe paused and for a second only, then rushed forward with outstretched hand, his face beaming, “Why, if it ain’t Mr. Zudrowsky! Why, how do you do, Mr. Zudrowsky, just set right down. Sam!” He shot a scorching glance at Liedman as he said, “Take the gentleman’s hat.” With a brotherly hand on Zudrowsky’s shoulder Abe took from his pocket two cigars and held them out to the stranger as he exclaimed in happy tones, “Eit’er one, Zudrowsky, eit’er one, take your choice, it’s all right.” As the gentleman made his selection, Abe turned aside and smelled the cigar left in his possession. A look of disgust came over his face as he jammed it into his pocket. “Now, I was just saying to Liedman, as you came in, believe me, Mr. Zudrowsky, I should like you to see t’em nifty Tango shade coats w’ich we just got out. Honestly, on Michigan Avenue, you see nothing else. Such a sale as we got for t’em.” So Abe and his customer passed a good share of the morning among the sample garments. By skillful maneuvering Abe saw that the business was finished before he should have to take his customer to lunch. And as Zudrowsky was leaving a fat order, Abe forced the last cigar on him. After lunch there was another customer, that bought to such an extent, that Abe’s good humor had not entirely spent itself when he SS entered the office the next morning, this time finding Sam deep in his work. “Morning, Liedman, beautiful morning, ain’t it?” “Morning, Mr. Cohen, it is a great morning.” As Abe hung up his hat and overcoat and came out of the cloak room smoothing his thin black hair over his somewhat bald cranium, Sam looked at him in a speculative way. Observing the look, Abe’s suspicions immediately arose, smiling he advanced to Sam’s desk. “Would you wish to speak wit’ me, Liedman?” “Ye-es, now Mr. Cohen, I was to Greenbaum’s last night,—” “What!” Abe’s brow darkened, the smile vanished and the mustache twitched ominously, throwing out his hands, he exclaimed, “Greenbaum’s—Greenbaum’s, ain’t it only yesterday 1 told you, you should never,—say Liedman, don’t I pay you enough salary?” Sam looked nervously from right to left and answered weakly, Yes, Mr. Cohen, certainly, only I was going to say,—” “Shut up!” interposed Abe. “I was goin’ to say t’at last night, old man Greenbaum got sociable wit’ me. And well, he ain’t as foxy as he used to was and he sort o’ let the dog out of the manger on one of t'em models w’ich ain’t made up and he’s got only in his head.” Abe’s smile was all absorbing, not a feature escaped it. He slapped Sam’s shoulder and exclaimed: “To t’ink t’at you, my head bookkeeper and officeman and credit man and sub-salesman, Samuel Liedman, Chicago, Illinois, t’is state, should do it. Honestly, Liedman, you make me proud. Have a cigar, Liedman? Now about t’e idea.” Sam outlined the model of the new garment and then said, “Before I left, Rosie and me decided maybe we might as well—maybe—” “Liedman, is Greenbaum very wealt’y?” “Why, Mr. Cohen, I should say he was wort’ at least—” “Well, anyhow perhaps he won’t feel so generous when he sees us out with t’at new new model, so just for a wedding present, free gratis, you understand, Liedman, supposin’ we call this firm, ‘Cohen Liedman,’ eh, Liedman.” Jacob B.

This is a very interesting and practical course, covering everything that the stenographer is ever called upon to do. Last fall a Senior class of nine took the 0. G. A. test, of whom, five are wearing little bronze triangles, the emblem of the clan. The left side of the triangle stands for “theory,” the right side for “accuracy,” and the base for “beauty,” the three qualities that go to make up artistic shorthand. The honored ones are: Rose Conway, Hildred Stahl, Frances Lake, Mable Glaser, Dorothy Lynds. SERVICE: Getting what you want when you want it. This one thing is one of our big features.

KING Phone N. I. T. 362 SANDWICH, ILLINOIS 66 Here are a few of the many reasons why you should have a telephone: A TELEPHONE PAYS— EVERY HOUR It pays in MONEY. It pays in PLEASURE. It pays in TIME SAVED. Put in a telephone, and you can talk to your friends' h mes in the evening for a social chat, or get the doctor quick, or call for help. You will never feel lonely or “away ofT’ if you have a telephone. In the daytime you can call up the town and find out latest prices for crops, order supplies, ask the railroad about shipments, or talk over matters with neighbors. Why be isolated, cut off from everybody, when The Northern Illinois Telephone will put you “next door” to everybody, and save long drives through cold and wet. A FEW DOLLARS buys all this convenience. A FEW MINUTES’ TIME taken to write us on how to secure good telephone service will put you in possession of full information.
