ALGOL Algol is a star. An eclipse variable, the astronomers call it, and talk of a dark body that comes between it and the earth cutting off its light. The sailors and shepherds, the night riders over the ranges and all those who do their work at night under the open sky, if they have dreams for company, make a book of the heavens. Each group of stars is a page — a song maybe — each twinkling point a line or jewel word. These watchers by night know that one lonely group ( it is Perseus, but they do not know, nor care ) has a star that sometimes glit- ters and gleams, shaming its dimmer neighbors with its radiance, and sometimes grows so dull that only the strongest eyes can see it at all. So our Algol. Sometimes it will seem tlul may be twinkling moments. we know.

The closing words of a story which he wrote for the 1918 Ariel, about a young soldier who had given his life for his country, are these: Abe was shot as a spy, and he was satisfied because he had ' got in (into the army) and because he had done his ' bit ' for his country. Paul, too, ' got in ' — into the affections of his associates, teachers and students alike. His ' bit ' was whatever was the dut) al hand, were it a hard lesson or a hard tackle. We felt that he was going out into a life of usefulness and achievement. Then before we even knew of his illness, he was gone, and we who had known him are the poorer because we know him no more.

Robert Gerwing Page Twelve HISTORY OF J. C. Santa Ana Junior College began its career in 1916, with a student body number- ing twenty-four. Officers were elected and under the efficient leadership of Isabel Anderson, the year proved very successful. Although the college was too small to enter many college activities, debating and athletics were indulged in to the extent that managers were elected for those two branches. Close sympathy between students and faculty, and loyalty to the school marked the main objectives gained in the first year of the organization. The following year saw an increase in the number attending the college as well as in activities. The public saw the results of the new institution for the first time when the students, under the direction of Miss Birdenia Henry, produced The Princess, an elaborate outdoor pageant. June 15, 1917, the first class — composed of six girls — was graduated. A huge jump was taken in 1918, when the faculty was increased to fifteen and the student body grew so large that clubs were formd and football and debating teams fought several successful battles. The Junior College Girls ' Club and Cercle Francais were organized. French Orphan Benefit, consisting of a musicale and a play, Joint Owners In Spain, was produced with results quite satisfactory for the adop- tion of French War Orphans. Receptions and teas were the most important social functions of the year. In 1919 flu vacations and higher requirements by the University of California forced the Junior College to enter a long period of work,as well as extra school hours. Some social events, especially a party at Mr. Nealley ' s and picnics at Balboa were enjoyed by the students. A J. C. pin — featuring the now proverbial owl — was adopted and created quite a sensation among the High School students. Separate commencement exercises were held for the first time and a class of sixteeen girls had the distinction of being the first to have such an honor. Last year the college took the aspect of a regular institution. The Terpsichorean art was no longer banished from the doors of learning and a new era of social pleasure dawned. The Cercle Francais spent many delightful evenings, the Girls ' Athletic Club also had several successful picnics and hikes. In athletics, too, J. C. developed real pep. Basbetball teams of boys and girls showed good material . but were defeated because of lack of practice. Tennis had good representation from Santa Ana, which showed real ability at Riverside. Debating, too, was strongly sup- ported and the teams made consequent good showings. The past two years, J. C. has surpassed previous records. The enrollment has taken astonishing leaps; activities — social, forensics, athletic and dramatic — have flourished; and real school spirit has developed. The standard of scholastic work has been raised in accordance with the state requirements. By an election held this spring, the Junior College becomes an organized Junior College district. This means that the College will have additional appropriations from the State with a high allotment for each pupil. In this way, a larger and better faculty, and improved equipment will be made possible. With the present provisions for coming years, the prospect for the future institution is indeed rosy paling gray into the past years. Page Thirteen • Jfacult? i E. M.

Elizabeth Parslow It is through the various organizations that students discover their abilities, their natural bent, themselves, indeed. In these organizations , too, our friendships are formed. We are developed, polished, and broadened by our friends, and in the same degree are they developd through our contact. Among the organizations in the Junior College are the Y. M. C. A., Y. W. C. A., the Men ' s Organization, the Cercle Francais, and the Glee Glub. Such clubs serve social purposes aside from their more important aims. At the head of our Organizations stands the Student Body. It ' s purpose is to create harmony among our students and faculty, and in all ways to promote the wel- fare of the institution. Although the student body has been handicapped because of it ' s close connec- tion with the High School, the year 1921-22 has brought us a bigger and better Junior College. At the present time the enrollment numbers one hundred and fifty- five. Instructive and interesting assemblies have been held regularly throughout the school term. As a means of inciting enthusiasm in these meetings the Freshmen, Sophomores, and Faculty have co-operated in planning assembly programs. Un- der the auspices of the Junior College, the Whittier Men ' s Chorus gave a splendid program. Other entertainments, such as the Orpheo Troupe , Glee Club Concert, and several plays, have been staged in the Auditorium. We appreciate the generosity of the High School in sharing their crowded buildings with us. But it is the hope of the present Junior College student Body that the Junior College may soon have quarters apart from the High School, as we realize that only then will the true College atmosphere he possible.

Edith Plavan Page Twenty The organization which has done more to create a college spirit in Junior College than any other is the Y. W. C. A. The reason for it ' s success is due to the high ideals which are so beautifully expresed in it ' s constitution. 1. — To lead students to faith in God through Jesus Christ. 2. — To lead them in membership and service in the Christian Church. 3. — To promote their growth in Christian faith and character, especially through the study of the Bible. 4. — To influence them to devote themselves in united effort with all Christians to making the will of Christ effective in human society and to extending the kingdom of God through the world. The Y. W. C. A. was organized the latter part of last year and we were able to send a ' Stuck-up to Asilomar. Dorothy Carothers was our representative there, and she has done a great deal to help us this year. We felt very proud that our organization was recognized and that we were able to send a representative although our organization was so young. Ruth Klahn will be our Stuckup next summer, and we know she, too, will bring us inspiration. Our activities have been centered on social service this year. We have helped dress a little nine yar old girl and tried to bring cheer to another little shut-in also nine years old. At Christinas time we sent out baskets and i oxes. There were many other interesting and helpful things done during the year. I used the word helpful advisedly for I believe we who worked for these others less fortu- nate than ourselves benefitted more than they because we were able to see other sides of life and become broader and better thereby. Our girls have been able to enjoy a great deal of college life by going to the various conferences, thus being associated with typical college girls by being in conference and by being entertained by them. To promote college life on our campus we had three house parties, one at the beach and the others in the mountains. Several luncheons, picinc . lunches and dinners have been very successful. The swimming club is a great success and has created a fine fellowship among the women. We feel that our Y. W. C. A. has given us a taste of what college life really is. and we believe that as we pass on to other colleges we shall not be strangers wherever we go, as all Y. W. C. A. girls everywhere have so much in common, that we are friends. Marion Gerrard, Secretary. Page Twenty-one Y. M. C. A. President . . . . . . Joe Peterson Secretary-Treasurer ..... Steele Metzgar The Santa Ana Junior College Y. M. C. A. was organized to create, maintain. and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian charac- ter. The association meets every week and holds a discussion on some present da) question in which religious students are involved. It has social affairs such as house parties and hikes to the mountains or beaches. The Association is now under the leadership of Mr. R. R. Miller. This insures to the Y. M. C.A. the direction which will make it a power in the Junior College.

Its purpose is to promote school spirit, to uphold the good name of the school and to take any action that necessity may demand. A get-together outing was held Friday, March 31, at Rocky Point. This was a marked success and led to the planning of other similar excursions. DELTA OMEGO TAU Members: Dot Carothers, Dot Smith, Dot Conkle, Dot Gerrard, Dot Bruner. Purpose: Sh-h-h!

Conversational games played in French were the main diversions for the French social. In March the Foreign Language Department staged a fine program in the Auditorium, known as the Foreign Frolics . Several members of the French club participated in a Erench play at this entertainment. Page Twenty-three THE JUNIOR COLLEGE GLEE CLUB Director Lena Catherine Shepard Accompaniste ....

Page Twenty-eight When a team is reviewed the first person who is always thought of is the coach. Coach Hummel proved himself to be a competent handler of men and a good all-round sport. His advice was keenly appreciated and his sportsmanlike attitude toward opponents as well as his own men established him deeply in the hearts of all who followed the J. C. team. FOOTBALL Under the managership of George and Coach Hummel the football team had good prospects of winning the championship again. But thru illness and injuries re- ceived to the team all prospects of a championship year disappeared. Page Twenty-nine Him IllUtfllfm i ::::,;;;; rC;:: n ,M «iiiiiiiii ■T-ic-a ' -n ZOSSmmm Captain Clark at fullback plowed thru every team he ran up against. He was in every play and rarried the ball when ever yards were most needed. His punting was notable in every game. Peterson at halfback was one of the fastest and hardest hitting men on the team. This boy didn ' t know what it was to loaf. He was backing up the line at all times and smeared many end runs. He will make any college team a valuable man. Lnlz at the other half showed his pluck when he received a broken jaw in the game with Fullerton and took it like a sport. Although this was his first year at football he played like a veteran. At quarter was the midget of die team. Selway by name. Selway shovvd crafty headwork and ran the team well, out guessing the opponents at every turn and often making good runs himself. Dresser at left end was in his initial football year and his playing was always creditable and showed high sportmanship. He was continually messinu the opponents up, throwing them for losses and in other ways making life miserable for tliem. Wulff playing at the left tackle with his old football rage tore opponents into shreds. This man hits like a ton of brick going a mile a minute. It can be said of Wulff that he was the hardest player on the squad. John Thompson, one of those famous J. C. twins, played alongside Wulff and further strengthened the left side of the line. This was also the first year for Thomp- son but he showed grit and fight enough to stamp him as a good man on any team. On die pivot position was Bigelow and he covered himself with glory, as he broke up many plays which were outside of his territory. This fellow was a fighter thru out and although handicapped for weight at center showed many larger men how to play the game. Richard Nelson at the right guard position opened wagon roads in the oppo- nents line and much praise that goes to backfield men is due to men like Nelson who get in and tank into the old line with a trip hammer force. Old Battling Griffidi smeared plays just as he swims and grows moustaches. He played like a demon in every game and liked it. On tackle plays he made many yards. This was his first year at the game also. Then Stafford at the right end position was a pillar of stren th. His tackling was accurately executed with deadly effct. Bill has played before and his experience came in handy. A good player and a good fellow. Kellogg was hurt in a practice game and didn ' t get to show lr wares as much as the others but he was a fast, hard hitting man and his loss was felt by the team. Much praise has been given the regular line up, but there were others who greatly helped and did all they could to make the old team a success. These men deserve honorable mention. They are: George Thompson, Palmer, Metzgar, Nelson, Straw and Conklin. Practice games were held with the High School team, Whittier colleges and Ful- lerton J. C. The league games were played widi San Diego, Fullerton and Chaffee. Page Thirty BASKETBALL The showing made in Basket Ball this year was a very creditable one altho we did not win die championship. Coach Hummel with what men he had to draw from was able to put a team into the running. The men who plaved on the team and helped to make basket ball a success were: Captain Bigelow, forward, the fellow who made the impossible shots that gen- erally brought home die bacon. We are sorry to lose this man next year. Andy Thompson, forward, a new man at the game, but one who could always be counted on to do his share of the playing. He will be a great help to the team next year. Itchy Carl, center, the fellow who towered above them all. With the excess height he was able to get the best of the tip-off. Joe Peterson, guard, forward and center. Joe could be counted on to do his share and was in every play. Altho he was handicapped in playing center by the lack of sufficient height he out jumped his opponent, often scoring thereby. Wulff at guard, was a hard man to beat when it came to covering the opposing forward. He was an aggressive player in every game . Any college would be proud of such a man on their team. Dresser, guard, and forward, was a fast man on the court. He was an aggresive player and a fighter always. The following practice and league games were played.

It meant much work as it was necessary to build the team from the ground up. The first league game was played at Riverside and the second at Fullerton and although the score both times was in favor of the opponents the plaving spoke well for next year ' s team. When first organized Ruth Klahn, the Captain and Hazel Royce were forwards on the team but when Hazel Royce left school her place was taken by Alice Strong who did splendid work. When shortly before the Fullerton game she sprained her ankle and took to crutches the team was in despair until Mary Hemstreet with a little intensive training saved the day. Jean as jumping center proved to be a high jumper Sophie Yorba, the quick running center, could always be part and to help make the game lively. Our guards, Caroline Johnson and Gail McFarren were the wonders of the team and when thoroughly aroused it was difficult for the other side to make a basket. With the competent subs, Gladys Garner and Helen Strain we had a team with good spirit and plentv of vim, although thev did not bring home the victory.

The following players were selected for the team. MEN ' S TEAM Robert Greene Charles Miller, Harold Dresser, Joseph Peterson, Schuyler Bigelow Harold Armstrong, Herschel Settle As yet no games have been played as the Annual Tennis Tournament is not to be held until May 15, at Chaffee. But with J. C. ' s well balanced teams all prospects show that a good showing will be made. 1st Singles 2nd Singles Doubles. Mixed Doubles. 2nd Doubles. WOMEN ' S TEAM Rose Kellogg, Mignonne Swales, Elizabeth Parslow, Mary Hemstreet, Gladys Garner Page Thirty-three Track Thru lack of interest on the part of the men of the Junior College or because some were ineligible to compete in any contest very little was made of track. Only one meet was held this year, the Southern California Junior College Con- ference at Fullerton on April 29. Thru the lack of entries Santa Ana did not make a very good showing. Those placing in the meet were Bigelow, who took 2nd in both hurdles, Dresser 3rd in the 440 and 4th in the 220. Our relay team composed of the following men: Straw, Byram, Bigelow and Dresser won 4th place. One man deserves the praise of the J. C, that is Clare Chaffee, who although he did not win a place, did his best for the glorv of old J. C. Page Thirty-four 5CH03L NDTE5 i b . cmsEcj •- The College Year September 12. — Hail, all!

Page Forty-one Drama The Dramatic- Class under the instruction of Mr. E. C. Phillips, began this year with a large enrollment but with few experienced people. However, with lofty aspirations, the class set to work with a will to try to maintain the precedent that the class of ' 21 had set. After a long period of work on technique, Mr. Phillips began casting one act plays. Later these plays were presented before the Monday Club at the High School Auditorium. Near the end of the year a program of one acts was planned to be given for the Parent-Teachers Association. The work of costuming, management and other stage work, was entirely handled by the class. Toward the end of the year Mr. Phillips assigned some of the members, plays to direct. Through this work we hope that the efforts of the class will not cease to exist. The plavs presented were as follows: THE SLUMP The Slump is a bit of modern day realism, dealing with an unsuccessful mar- riage; a very difficult thing for the beginner. However, the cast did admirably considering their handicap. Not Inning experienced any of the trials of the char- acters they were portraying, they felt that they were not able to grasp the vital essence of the situation. CAST Jim Geo. Gerwing Florie Margaret Donovan Ed Joseph Peterson THE POT BOILER The Pot Boiler was the favorite production of the season. It is a rollicking satire on Play Production with a lot of fun and suspense — — ! Peterson as the raving author, and Wheelock. as the villian, will long be remembered. CAST Mr. Thomas Pinkies Slid Joseph Peterson Mr. Wauldby Geo. Gerwing Mr. Inkwell Stanley Wheelock Miss Ivory Audrey Isbell Mrs. Pencil Annette Lewis Mr. Ruler R. Richards Mr. Ivory Wayne Clark THE MEDICINE SHOW The Medicine Show is a bit of clever character work. The part of Lu ' ter, the worthless hero of the piece, furnished a fine vehicle for the work of Mr. Richards. CAST Giz Stanley Wheelock Lu ' ter Rudolph Richards Dr. Ste ' ven Van Dexter .Geo.

It has a simplicity that is very commendable. Gerwing portraying the part of Cole, the man of ideals, was well in character and had the sympathy of his auditors. CAST Cole Geo. Gerwing Mac Ready R.

The course in Dramatics has been benificial. We feel that we have grown with our study and our responsibilities. We hope that we have been able to interpret these plays with sufficient success to give pleasure to others. We know that our work has been a pleasure to ourselves. Tage Forty-three September 25, 1922. Dear Sis, You don ' t know how sorry I am that you had to leave Junior College — just as they were beginning to have some fun. I don ' t know whether you read about it in the Generator or not, but last Friday Mr. and Mrs. Nealley entertained out at their home for the J. C. Everyone must have had a wonderful time from what they sav. There were lots of new students and everyone got acquainted. After introductions a lovely program was given. Mrs. Hummel, wife of your J. C. coach, sang several songs. They say she has a beautiful voice. There was one song especially that was a favorite, No, John, No. Then Miss Phillips, sister of Ernest C. Phillips, from Cumnock, gave a number of Italian dialect readings. They were surely well liked. Following the program, came dancing. They put the chairs back against the wall and everyone danced to the music played by Bee Parslow and Emma Hardy. In between times punch and wafers were served. The J. C ' s all say that Mr. and Mrs. Nealley are charming hosts and I know you think so. Love, Josephine. Sunday, October 30. Dear Sis, The J. Cites had the most interesting and exciting time last Friday night. It was the initiation of the Freshmen and also a masquerade affair. ou should have seen Joe Peterson. He was dressed like a Norwegian Peasant girl in a real costume that has been worn in Norway. He was a scream the kids say. He got first prize for the boys and Tessie Ghilders got first for girls. She wore a red and black Follies costume with bells all over it. Nancy Marshall was dressed in a Pierrette costume. George Gerwing had the funniest-looking carbuncles growing on his legs, but maybe someone sent you the flashlight picture that was taken. I couldn ' t get one. When the Freshmen first arrived, they were so busy finding out who everyone was that they didn ' t realize that they were being kept out in the hall on purpose. Both the doors to the gym were locked. Then one by one they were blind-folded and brought into the room and sent through the works ' . It surely was ingenious to say the least. The shocking machine with Bob Gerwing as administrator was the best of all, only the place where they were made to walk over eggs sounded prettv clever to me too. I wish I had been there myself after the initiation. Everyone danced all the excess electricity they had been shocked with out of their systems. Extracts of a letter of December 5. The girls all say to tell you about the party the college students had in the gym last Friday the 30th. I guess it was something different from the usual. Instead Page Forty-four of dancing, thev had progressive games to play. Some of the games were anagrams, parchisi, and flinch. I can ' t remember more. Mignon Oldfield (Barney) got die highest score of all and of course the first prize. They served doughnuts and cider. Everyone went to have a good time and I guess they all had it. January 28. Dear Sis, I ' m just snatching you Uiis letter today because I know I won ' t get to see you when you get home. It is almost the end of the semester and I will be through with High School and vou will be coming back to J. C. You will get this tomorrow morning though. I start for San Francisco tomorrow night to stay with Mrs. Blake you know. Did you hear about the formal dance the Junior College had? It was about the greatest success they have ever had. All the girls had new dresses and I guess they felt pretty swell. There were several outside fellows there. Gertrude Beckman danced so much that she spoiled a pair of shoes. The programs were the cleverest things you ever saw. Onita Cain, Frances Egge and Dorothy Carothers made them. I ' ll tell you some of the names of the dances. The Psychological Slide, Tessie ' s Toddle, Stellar Satellitting, Lobster Piroetting. Letters from the J. C. Student to her Sister who has just finished High School -::- a Dear Jo, The first day of the new semester and at last I ' m back again. Now it ' s my turn to write to you about die doings at J. C. and I know I feel as happy as Mr. Nealley about getting back. You know he is back at school again, and a bunch of students went out to the house tonight to welcome him home. We all met at the High School at seven o ' clock and there were machines diere to take us out. It was awfully in- formal and everyone enjoyed it very much. It surely seemed good to me as we sat around and talked — and incidentally ate candy. Mrs. Worthy read and Emma Hardy played for us. Bee played for us to dance but we came home early since we didn ' t want to tire our hosts at the beginning. Besides tonight is a school night. Everybody seemed so happy to have Mr. and Mrs. Nealley back again. J. C. wasn ' t itself without our dear Mr. Nealley. Extract from a letter of March 18. I had the best time yesterday that I ' ve had in ages. It was Saturday you know, and all the Junior College took die whole day and went to Orange County Park. It was glorious. Bob Greene did considerable kicking about going to the park be- cause he wanted to go to Laguna but we went to the park — nevertheless. We met at the High School at nine o ' clock and properly chaperoned embarked for the park. After arriving the bunch started to have one happy time. Some immediately took to boats and the boys tried their skill at fast rowing. Others made for the hills and wild flowers. A game of base ball was started by some and Page Forty-five Schuyler Bigelow made a wonderful home run. Meanwhile Clare Chaffee acting as chief chef started the steaks sizzling. Miss Harris and her assistants prepared°the rest of the lunch on the long tables. At twelve o ' clock sharp the dinner bell was rung and everyone came prepared to eat, and what with steaks, buns, pickles and beans, ice cream and pie everyone felt content. In the afternoon dancing was started and most everyone enjoyed it. Audrey and Joe arrived to look over the affair and enjoyed a few dances before departing. About three o ' clock the park rested in peace and quietness. Extract from a letter of Saturday, March 31. Did I tell you about the party the Freshmen gave us a week ago Friday? There was the best bunch there and I had a wonderful time. At the beginning of the even- ing we played games, but the Junior College orchestra arrived and everyone started dancing, and that was the end of the games. The gym looked great. It was all decorated with wild flowers that had been gathered down at Laguna. Friday, April 21. Jo, dear, It ' s rather late to be writing letters, but nevertheless, I must tell you about another lovely dance at the Nealley ' s. Of course, we had a short and snappy pro- gram with all the fixin ' s — Bee ' s little brother whistled and it certainly was good. Mr. Hummel sang and then we danced to the music of Ye Dreamland Players More fun ! I hated to come home. Well I guess this is enough. It ' s time we were fast asleep and I ' m surely tired. As ever, your loving Sis. Tuesday, April 25. Dear Sis, Oh! Boy! am I tired and sore? But I ' m happy. Ditch Day — feature it! Well to tell you about it. Yesterday morning at eight we all congregated in front of the Administration Building dressed as rubes, full of pep and thrilled that the much-longed-for day had arrived. I wish you could have seen Gladys Garner. She had her hair wired out away from her head, and she wore a little sailor hat cocked up on die very top of her head. At about a quarter after eight we started for Laguna leaving behind us crepe and bouquets bearing significant messages to our fond and sorrowing faculty. After we arrived came the round of bathing, hiking, baseball playing, eats and even five hundred (played by an illustrious four on the beach I . Harold surely took the tricks. After dinner came dancing in the pavilion, which had been secured especially for us. That night we had a weinie bake, widi pickles, mustard, beans and pie for efferybody. Time went all too fast and we declared ditch day a national holiday. I must close, Sis. Pape Forty-sii FLAPPERS The birdling, eager for the sky Flaps his unfeathered wings. He stands on tiptoe, wild to fly, Sometimes he sings A silly song we laugh to hear. He looks and sounds and is so queer. The young girl, too, would try her wings, Wings that are not: She dreams and yearns-does foolish things Long since forgot By those who criticize the dear Because she looks and acts so queer. AFTER A SHOWER All the face of the earth looks so fresh and green; How the grasses are dripping with rainbow dew! And his glossy black wings see the black bird preen. Johnny Jump Ups blight faces are smiling up, too See the buttercups gold that was spilled here by spring, And the oriole ' s vest that ' s of yellow right new. Now then listen and hear how the meadow larks sing From the fields of the lupin and hyacindi flowers; In the sunny blue sky see the blue birds bright wing. From the grasses so tall a wee little flower Looks up at the sky with its baby blue eyes, And all the buds smile, waking a fter a shower. Lillian Wennstrom WILD FLOWER SONG Poppy, or lupin or shooting star, Brodea, violet, larkspur tall, Lilac or lilly or daisy clan, Which do you love the best of all? Gilia pink, forget-me-not while. Buttercups yellow and iris blue, Paintbrush and primrose and purple sage, Which is the dearest one to you? Page Forty-seveM r« n TC — K-J 88 ! PREPAREDNESS In m brief voyage through life I have observed that people are likely to do the thing the) least expect. Wherefore I feel that it is highly probable that I shall someday find myself studying for a master ' s degree, possibly a doctor ' s, and so I feel that il behooves me to be casting about in my mind for a suitable subject for the thesis I shall be obliged to write. In quest for the said suitable subject I studied a recent comm encement an- nouncement. Stylish subjects for these appeared to be concerned exclusively with very strange words, (weighted heavily with dipthongsl, of which I had never heard. After a session with the dictionary I ascerttained that most of these words had to do with bugs of one kind and another, philosophical speculations and recondite matters pertaining to fish and William Shakespeare. These subjects did not intrigue me. To be sure, there were two aspirants for academic distinction who had been straight forward enough to use simple words in their titles. One of them had written the required number of words (from ten to fifteen thousand I on Calculations con- cerning the Incalculable. The other one had secured a cum laude on his thesis: The Measurement of Imperceptible Shadows. These didn ' t seem to be in my line, either. But what is in my line? I seem able to think of only one subject in which I have consistently specialized — ball. Presumably in early infancy I concentrated on the unmodified article, prefixless, suffixless, stark as a line of free verse. Later on I de- veloped some little proficiency in the great triology — foot, basket and base. By all the laws of composition die subject is too broad. I must narrow it. I must el- liminate extraneous matters, I must concentrate my attention and fix my focus. Baseball! That shall be my thesis subject. All the exultation of the hunter who has captured his quarry thrills by being. I feel the creative impulse. I am about to express myself! A sudden difficulty presents itself. A thesis must say something that has never been said before. My mind turns to the sporting pages of the daily press, to the prog- nostications of baseball coaches and fans and to umpires. Who am I that 1 shall speak a new word on baseball? My thoughts turn desperately to the commencement announcement. One word leaps at me from the page — Shakespeare. I recall that the Bard of Avon is reputed to have discussed all known subjects except Democracy and the Freudian Complexes. No doub t he has spoken of baseball. If only some one has not anticipated me in this subject! I start an investigation. Mr. Jackson knows of no such research work having been attempted. Nor does Mr. Hammond. 1 am jubilant. Miss Lasby says she believes she has i cad such a thesis, but she thinks it was a poor one. I refuse to be cast down. Mr. Nealley, Miss Watson and Miss Harris urge me to begin at once. The Stale University hears of my project and sends me a questionaire. The Gen- erator ridicules the idea. This convinces me that the idea is a good one. I am determined to delay no longer. I procure a fat volume of the collected works ol William Shakespeare and proceed to read. I ' itlfe Forty Eit;ht I was not mistaken. To paraphrase Wordsworth, Shakespeare never did betray the heart that trusted him. 1 am collecting the Bard ' s reference to the great game. and when 1 have the list complete I shall file it away and be ready at the moment oc- casion demands to work on my thesis, beginning as Mr. Cicero used to say, in medias res. mv research work all done. Because fire, flood or tottering memory might intervene to separate me from my official notes I am coins to jot down my references here: SHAKESPEARE THE BASEBALL FAN 1. — Our forefahers had no other books but the score and the tally. 2. — Pitchers have ears.

To use the common vernacular — the world is going to the Dogs! Of course , it has threatened, often and loudly, to travel in that direction be- fore, but now it is really going. It started several days ago, and to judge by its present rate of speed, it should arrive at the Dogs, wherever that may be, before many more moons. Whenever anyone makes the announcement to the general public, as some one occasionally does, that the world, if it does not mend its ways, will soon go to the Dogs, he usually says it in a tone that seems to imply that the world is not yet in the secret and does not know that it is going. But the World, it would appear, is on good terms with the general public and has by some means, fair or foul, learned from its friend the great secret — just as most people who are to be the happy victims of a pleasant surprise on the occasion of their silver wedding anni- versarv. know all about it as soon as anyone else does. At anv rate, the world, now that it is fairlv launched on this long heralded journev with a rather mysterious destination, is going with its eves wide open and is enjoving the experience to the full. To the surprise and chagrin of the entire Grundy connection it is not in the least bit ashamed of making this questionable and entirely unprecedented expedition, but instead it is really proud of the daring and nerve it is displaying under the circum- stances. The World started on this escapade when it began to dance those awful mod- ern dances. It is sad to think that the pure, beautiful, majestic, and tiresome Vir- ginia Reel should actually have started the World on the exploration of that road which leads, according to popular tradition, downward to — the Dogs. The fact, al- though sad, is true, for the vulgar Waltz, the disgusting Fox Trot and One Step, the demoralizing Shimmy, as well as many other appallingly immodest and absolutely unspeakable steps all grew out of that apparently harmless dance. Perhaps if George Washington had never danced the Virginia Reel, the world would not today be roll- ing on its downward way. George Washington, truthful angel, must not be made to bear all the responsi- bility of the sins of today, for Jazz, demon of the modern music, is a new arrival. The critics — may heaven forgive diem — say that Jazz is not music at all. but then, little do they know of the wonderful and varied effects a true Jazz artist can pro- duce. However, diat may be, Jazz is loudlv acclaimed as being largely responsible for the World ' s present wandering away from its rightful place in proper society. And the movies — oh, how awful! They actually show pictures of men and girls kissing, right there on the screen where everyone can see, and thev sometims even have one girl kiss two fellows in the same picture. Of course, such diings never happened in real life but some people believe everything they see at a theatre is true so the films are helping to push the world onward toward those alluring Dogs. Yes, it is a sad predicament the naughty World is in. If one does not believe it, he has only to look at the outlandish way the female part of it dresses. It ' s hair is either foolishly waved, (at $1.00 a curl I and puffed over mysterious knobby things that look like mice, or else it is cut off quite short — bobbed in fact — and left In blow in the breeze. Bobbed hair may be quite sensible and comfortable, but Page Fifty of course it is always the mark of a wicked vampire. Bobbed hair is not the only evidence that the women of this evil generation are vamps, for they use rouge, eyebrow pencil, lip stick, and powder in such great quantities that no doubt is left. In spite of all this, the World might still retain its decency, if only those women — wicked things! — would not persist in wearing such short skirts. No one knows how Dad and Hubbv could ever pay the butcher bill if the skirts had to be longer, but that is no matter: those women should not let the public get even a tiny glimpse of their knees! Oh yes, the public lias heard of the feminine knee in song and story for years — how the women have prayed on it, and scrubbed the floor on it, and chastised the children across it — but when it comes to seeing it — well, that ' s an entirely different matter and one not to be even discussed in polite society! Now that the World, or the feminine part of it, has let the public have an occasional peep at its silk clad knees, it has without doubt almost arrived at the Dogs. Everyone knows where the World is going. Let us hope that the bothersome old thing may soon reach its destination and come back again, inorder that in the future no one will need to be anxious when it starts out in that direction again. Probably, though, by the time it returns from this little excursion, there will be a new place for it to visit, and the experience will have to be repeated. In the mean time, the World is going to the Dogs, and a pleasant trip is anticipated enroute. Frances Donan. IN LILAC TIME Where ' s the road to Arcady, to Arcady, to Arcady? All the roads are luring me, every path seems fair: How can I be finding it, Much as I am minding it. What if I be losing it when Love is waiting there. Who will go to Arcady, to Arcady, to Arcady, Go with me to Arcady, its ecstacy to share? All the world ' s a seeking throng, — I don ' t want the world along! Two and two for Arcady- where is she?

As a proof of Darwin ' s theory of the Survival of the Fittest. about one-half of the original college Biology class managed to survive Mr. Bruff ' s terrific literary assignments of the first semester. Then the class was introduced to the humble earthworm, which had been de- lightfully pickled in formaldehyde years and years ago, and they were invited to investigate its insides and outsides and insidesout. As several of the feminine mem- bers of the class continually grew faint and passed out during this procedure, it was decided that refreshments were necessary to sustain them through three hours of angleworm . The boys ' cooking class and various other members of the class con- tributed to the noble cause with generous boxes of fudge, divinity and similar concoctions. The next victim for dissection was the innocent crawfish, and it was a frequent sight to see Mary, wildly waving a pickled crawfish in one hand and a piece of fudge in the other. She would not commit herself as to which she pre- ferred for an afternoon repast. But to cap the climax, the entire class one day dined upon their specimen, a beautiful crustacean. Mr. Bruff actually postponed an ex and Mr. Lobster was boiled and then partaken of with much gusto and a little salt and salad dressing. A jolly good fellow is our Mr. Bruff, Although he pretends to be awfully gruff, When you have all the phyla straight in your head, Then he ' ll permit a Biological spread. The Fifth Period English Composition Class had so unusual a session recent] that its scribe feels an urge to report it. In the first place. Josephine Bull was present. In the second Harold Wright was not tardy. Either of these occurrences made the day unusual. Coming in conjunction thev set it absolutely apart. Brief talks were the order of the day. Mr. Gockley lead off with a disquisten on the beauties of nature, especially the joys of plucking wild flowers. Mr. Francis Wilson was eloquent (though not quite convincing! on Why Automobiles Upset. Miss Anderson spoke briefly on the Mikados of China, Miss Parslow on The Message of Jazz. Tubby Crawford spoke frivolously and devoted himself to a girl whose initials are not A. J. Lloyd Folger spoke for five minutes and never mentioned snap shots. The Messrs, Metzgar and Quisel interrupted all speakers. The Misses Swales, Selway and Knox neither giggled a giggle nor whispered a whisper. Miss Egge flunked. So did Miss Marshall, also Miss Mateer. Mr. Paul Nelson neither chewed gum nor elevated his feet during the entire hour. At the end of the recitation Mrs. Northcross announced that she had decided to substitute Hearst ' s magazine for the Atlantic, and dismissed the class fifteen min- utes ahead of the bell.

Why a man requires a golf ball, Why a fish swims under water, All of these subjects and others, In psychology we ' re learning. When we finish with the subject We may qualify for any Thing we may have a desire for, So we thank our Mr. Nealley, For a fund of lasting knowledge, Which will be of greater value. In the years to come hereafter Dorothea Smith Page Fifty-live I was the l. ' Uli of March in ' 22, The Chemistry class had nothing to rlo. Surfeited were they with acids and bases, So they thought it was time to play their aces. With every effort to enjoy the day, They set about to find the way, To Baldy ' s snow-blown mountain sides. With coats and furs and eats galore, They started out upon the tour. Time and mile slid quickly past, And soon they reached the mountain vast. Knowing of nothing better to do. They made snowballs and threw them, too, And even enjoyed toboggan rides. They took in other kinds of fun, There wasn ' t a thing that was left undone, But pleasure ends, as good things do. When only they seemed half way through. Pardon me, I made a mistake, Thev had a fire and a weinie bake. On top of other things I ' ve told. Soon after the last hot dog had gone I Where all good puppies are ushered on) They struck the trail which led them bark. And of singing and laughing there was no lack, Of funny stories a plenty, too. I was asked to tell all this to you So you ' ll forgive me, many fold. l ' ape Fifty-six ISY HAIR-DO-DAY To school once came Isy, her hair plain and queer. A part in the middle, a bun on each ear.
