Usually,not in the attainment of the stupendous works that capture the imagination of the multitude are we and our friends concerned, but ratherin the everyday humdrum of life. Per- haps you wonder how we have an opportunity to make life really worth living under such ordinary circumstances as we usually find ourselves in. Kindness, courtesy, helpfulness, the will to give our friends the best we have in us, are the little things that go to make our life a perfect life, one that we should be proud to live. Edison was a great man. Ah yes, he invented the electric light bulb: he made marvelous improvements on the telegraph: and he contributed count- less other aids to our daily lives. But could he have done so without the patience and persistence of the unknown men who went before him, those who worked and lived so that others might work and live in a better world? We know little of these people, as the world will know little of many of our graduating class. However, we know our classmatesg we know their unselfish devotion to the welfare of their friends. They will make this world a better place to live in by the multitude of little things they do. Let your own actions be the same---let them be a guiding light and a beacon ta those who have not entirely awakened to their social responsi- bilities. Let yourself sow the seeds of good deeds, actions, and words so that a bountiful harvest of a knowledge of deeds well done will be your reward. 4 l O 0 4 O 0 t - o Qi O 'O oo ff f 09 ,, OO 0 .

AN WHITE 1933 HISTORY OF THE SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS President ..,.. .A......... . . , Dwight Rist Vice President . . . , , James Kane Secretary - - A . . . Viola Korns Treasurer .i,.....i...,.....,.., Elaine Steiner -As if brought on by the Great Depression the Senior Class entered High School. Quietly and timidly, they took up their unfamiliar duties and though surrounded by distracting in- fluences, they soon gained courage and confidence so that by the end of their Freshman Year they showed that they were going to be a strong force in the activities of the school. 1934-Having gotten off to a fine start, they now tended to keep up 1935 the good work by instituting a Freshman-Sophomore Field Meet. Though it was their debut in schc-ol athletics, they took the honors with little effort. --Next, as Juniors, they were truly bound for the top as the most successful class in the school. Their athletic prowess was established under Zearley and Connors, and their acting ability undoubted after the amazing production of their class play, Top O' the World, under the direction of Miss Oma Stoner. The supreme event was their memorable Junior-Senior Prom at the Country Club. 1936-It's September, that gala parade of events, the Senior year in High School has just begun. October and November pass with work, just work, especially for the Senior members of the Mendelssohn Choral Club namely, Nina Rider, President and Accompanistg Martha Pimlott, Mary Minette Hirst and Sara Ehrenwerth. December comes, and vacation. Who said Seniors don't appreciate a rest? January, February and what are these little white pieces of cardboard seen in abundance all over the school? Oh! We know-Senior name cards. March comes, and with its biting winds, the class begins to really awaken-to realize their mighty importance. There is talk about the Annual and pictures, and representatives from various colleges put in their appearances. Senior athletes, Zearley, Connors, Barkell, Napoleon, Ross, Nowaskey, Moore and Marvin receive their letters. April comes. Amidst April snows KYes, Snowsl the Senior Hop is held. They finally give the photographer a break by ruining his camera. In May the high spots are the class play, New Fires , and examinations fOr should our beloved tests be called sore spots?J. At last June is here. The Senior Class now in prime. However, in an in- stant, Class Day, Commencement, the Prom-all is over, the High School career is ended for the Class of 197, leaving them with emotions of mingled joy and remorse. THE ELI .J THE CLASS PROPHECY It's the year of 1955--the scene, in any of the class rooms of Scottdale High School. Teacher Callie Doorley, rushes in, And now my dear, dear children I want all to enter into this discussion-you know it's Current Events, don't you? Of course you do. Well, we'll begin . She calls on a pupil who comes to the front of the room. Fm going to tell of my trip to New York City last week end. We flew in the new continental plane, designed and piloted by Pilot Don O'Conner and his sweetheart hostess Jennie Davis. There were some celebrities on the plane with us-Professor D. W. Rist and Ruth Shaw, who discussed perpetual motion by experimenting with Helen Elias chewing gumg Emery Keefer, the noted lyric writer and his wife, Effie Nez were on their honeymoong and Zona Zona and Merrie Merrie-formerly Zona Sutor and Mary Smolen, the famous new discoveries found by Darl Eicher, the talent-scout for Frank Goshorn. president of M. G. M. We arrived in New York City and went to the Hazel Kromer apartments where Paul Barkell, the clerk, welcomed us. That night we went to Mrs. Wally Hill's-formerly Thelma Arnette- Harlem Hot Spot which was featuring the blues singer . Lorraine Boone and her chorus of Lucille Edmonds and Nora Haith. Crow Jones, the master of ceremonies, married the ban d. leader, Jean Ferguson, last week. We left the Hot Spot and walked along Broadway where we saw Marie Kerr's and Tom Val1ance's names in lights advertising Daisy McGreeg's Last Moments . The next day we left for home on the Scottdale Flyer , en- gineered by C. L. Brown and Earl Ansell. He goes to his seat and the teacher calls on another pupil. My report will be on the sporting world. Last night Irvin Baughman, the heavy weight champion, was defeated by Howard King in a fierce battle of two rounds. Bill Zear- ley was appointed coach of Vassar and married Leona Richey, who was teaching Hints for Dates there. Jr. Cook was chosen the All- American fullback from Minnesota and Marious Badini, water boy. Betty Durstine by eating the Sulkowski, Szeyekocki, Szczygiel Dinner of Champions , developed into the world's fastest 500 Yard dasher. Dolores McCusker swam the Atlantic Ocean, and Viola Korns won the laurels for the women's figure-during the last Olympics. As he finishes, Joe Bambrey, the Superintendent of Schools, and Pasquel Petrarca, principal of high school enter in time to hear Mary Minette Morehead's report on the fashion world. Art Stahoviak has just returned from Paris where he has spent ten years studying French models. Marian Bluhm designed hats and had Bernard Davis and Bill McFadden collecting evacuated bird fr N. WHITE THE CLASS PROPI-IECY nests for ornaments. Eleanor Helenski, a model for Martha Pimlott's Ladies Ready to Wear , married dashing play boy George Malik. Messrs. Brownfield, Byrwa, and Turk just established an exclusive Men's Tailor Shop on Pittsburgh Street and had Francis Rozycki as their traveling salesman. Oh! I amost forgot to mention c-n his return Art Stahqviak was accompanied by Betty Jane Marth, Betty Weaver, Dot Petko, and Sophie Polkosky, who startled the fashion world. if Superintendent and principal leave the room and Loper, the janitc-r, rushes in, slamming the door, picks up waste paper basket and rushes out again. I shall report on my broadcasting station W. 8. Q. D. V., owned and operated by Harry Kern and Merle Hay. George Goshorn croons with L. Kepner's Sing Band every Monday night on the Knight- Kulczak Program. Every day at 6:30 Eileen Moore tells her bed- time story and Josephine Nowaskey sings the kiddies to sleep. Sports commentator, Jack Wardlow, may be heard every Tuesday over the Livengood and Tressler Program advertising the Lloyd and Mingle remedy for reducing. Bob Reese gives his weekly lesson in Under- taking g on Saturday Evelyn Stoner recites her famo-us poems. This 'report is followed by another on the local newspaper. The 'Scottdale International' of the World Wide News is celebrating its 15th anniversary as a successful newspaper with Anna Mary Adams as editor-in-chief. Dick Keedy is doing marvelous work as foreign correspondent, and Jim Marvin keeps the elite of the town on good behavior by proving to be a Wally Winchel1 worthy of the name. Mary Minette Hirst covers the social functions of the city, while Margaret Marhefka does very well as Emily Post II . Helen Grzywinski and Dorothy Kuhns are two of the newspaper's typists, while Ella Hough, Antionetta Spisso and Eleanor Younkin handle the telephones. The important positions of type Setters are held by Bernard Lewandosky and Arthur Dillon. Ted Finnerty, a chemist of great genius, provides much material for the 'International' with his experiments on invisible hats for those fellows who would wear hats if they didn't look so sissifiedf' He takes his seat and the next one continues on foreign affairs. Charlotte Diven was appointed ambassador to Paris, but being unable to keep her mind on her business was replaced by Dot Reynolds. Diven then married gigolo Marion Miller. Nancy Perry, THE BLI E 5 -4 THE. CLASS PROPHECY the missionary to the Hotentets, was rescued by Eddie Kelly, the famous explorer after being captured by a band of savages. Charles Nowaskey, chosen king of the Zulu Islands, was ousted by a revolu- tion instigated by Charles Connors, who wished to be dictator with Charles Rc-ss as assistant, and have football the aim of the kingdom. Mildred Connors, Lucille Connors, and Frances Czaja went to teach music to the Eskimos but have never been heard of since. - She finishes and the next one recites. I shall report on Scottdale's biggest wedding last night. Jim Kane, bridegroom and Betty Tallentire, bride were to be married by the Reverand J. Claude Murphy, but Betty Tallentire ran away with her old childhood sweetheart, Jim Forsythe. However, Kane retaliated by marrying Irene Colbern. The bride's maids were Mary Phillips, Elsie Berkey, and Patricia Mears. Lois Tray was flower girl, and J. R. East was the ring-bearerg Nina Rider played the organ and Florence Cable sang the solo. They finish and the teacher asks if there are any more stories before the bell rings. Hands were waved and different pupils enum- erate the following: Charles Napoleon :-best dressed man in Borneo. Bob Miller :-great sculptor of Connellsville beauties. Edna and Dot Hostetler:-chief cooks at New Central Hotel. Sari Ehrenwerth:-the typical gum chewing stenographer. Elaine Steiner:-married Baron Herbie Talkalittle of Jamaica and then became the toast of Broadway. Mary Louise Grisafe:-chewed gum as an advertisement for Phil Fail's Gum Company. Dot Bluhm:-tinally found and married the one of her dreams. Hazel Brown :-operated a sanitarium at Bird's Island for the penguins.

AN WHITE HISTORY OF JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS President ....... .... J ack Vallance Vice President . . . . , Charles Reixroad Secretary .... . . , Grace Murray Treasurer ..,..................... - Jane Browning The Junior Class, everyone said, composed just another class wending its weary way through' High School. However, the past three years have shown us just how wrong we were. As Freshmen they organized themselves into an efficient and cooperative group un- der the leadership of Eddie Byers, their President. When they be- came sophomores, they blossomed out into athletes, musicians, etc. With President Adam Mickey to guide them, they enjoyed several successful social events, namely a Sophomore Dance and a Skating Party. Now, as Juniors, we find their representatives being tops in everything they've tried to do. Alberta Forsythe established a high place for herself as Assistant Accompanist of those thriving organiza- tions, the Mendelssohn Choral Club and the High School Volunteer Band and Orchestra. Others who distinguished themselves by mem- bership in these organizations include Peggy Steele, Alice Skiles, Delrosa Snyder, Anna Ruth Percy, Elizabeth Rush, and Genevieve Schildkamp. Those lettermen in athletics to whom we extend con- gratulations are :-Skemp, MeGivern,. Graft, White, Hill, Byers,,Day- oob, Kerr, DeSantis, and Killiany. Aside from the success they gained in the above activities, they found time to make -z the presentation of their class play, Happy Go Lucky , underfthevf capable direction of Miss Oma Stoner. To crown the accomplishments' of their High School career thus far, they held a most enjoyable Prom at the Country Club to which We might add- a good time was had by all. -p THE BLK Fl HISTORY OF SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS President ....... 4......A... . . William Jones Vice President .. ..,,, Ben Aiken Secretary .,,,, . . . Nyla McCrory Treasurer 4.......,,..,.............. Janet Porter The Sophomore Class, notorious in grade school, did to the best of their ability, uphold such reputation during their treking back and forth to school for the three hundred and sixty days they have been members of our High School group--or so speak the tell- tale report cards, which so greatly underestimated their true abilities and undeveloped talents. However, due credit must be extended them for their Assem- bly Room organizations, which provided numerous and varied enter- tainment to utilize their leisure time. Such groups were under the supervision of the Home Room teachers and each had its own set of capable officers. They have been truly a class gifted with accomplishments in every direction. .

Lena Mae Pletcher Treasurer ..,......,........,..... Nelle Pletcher The Freshman Class, although not as active as the Upperclass- men would have liked it to be, had a purpose in life after all--that of adjusting itself to a new course of study. Having entered as a group of awe-stricken puplis, the technique of the old-timers was soon ac- quired. Now as visions of becoming Sophomores loom on a not too distant horison, they do solemnly resolve to outdo their Illustrious Predecessors in any or all of their virtues and none of their numerous defects. Their only sorrow has been the death of a well-known and well-loved classmate, Marie Coontz, in January. AN HITE I . X rf X' ,, K 2 if f V572 Q ,,Wf zf' fffffff fp M c iff.

The Scotties have had a fairly good team the last couple of years but this year's squad was one that was marked with great disaster and misfortune throughout the entire season. The Locals played a grand total of eight games and the records at the end of the season had the Scotties accredited with no victories as compared with eight defeats. Though unsuccessful in winning games. the Locals were able to cross their opponents' goal line twice and at times exhibited a very strong offense which was aided chietiy by passes. The Lettermen in football were Kerr, Dayoob, Zearley, gNapoleon, Siecinski, Hill, Ross, De Santis, Skemp, Graft, Killiany, C. Nowaskey, Moore, and Marvin iMgr.D Q 1 TRACK Although the Scotties have had a track team for the last two or three years, this sport is still in a rather primitive form as far as the locals are con- cerned. There have been some good track men on the few teams that they have had, and it is certain that this year's production of track and field men will not be outdone by that of former years. A HITE BASKETBALL-1937 THE BLIIE I A BASKETBALL ff v ,r. The Scotties' basketball season was marked with a 'great deal more lsuc- cess than was their football season. The Locals drew a berth, in. gtfgvereyelfast Section IX of the-W. P. I. A. L. comprizing such teams as Greensbuikwgbe. Norwin, Blairsville, Jeannette, and Mt. Pleasant and were quite Qhssfuldin winning five out of their twelve league scheduled games. Amor? of tive victories and seven defeats may not seem a good average to some peQlQ. but l am sure that the ardent sport followers of the Scotties will agree th 'I-tthe Locals were certainly a dark horse and a good ball club in coming th ugh and ending up in a tie for third place in Section 9 as they did. U ' The lettermen in basketball were Zearley, Connors, McGivern, Slgemlp Graft, White, Byers, Barkell, and Dayoob fMgr.l AN. WHITE at STUDENT COUNCIL Under the capable leadership of its officers, Betty Tallentire, President: Dick Lewellyn, Vice President, Jean Sturgis, Secretary-Treasurer, and Miss Ann Dick, Faculty Advisor, Student Council made the 1936-1937 term one of the most successful since its organization. Among the activities which it sponsored during the year are the concession stand, a dance at the Armory, various assemblies at the Strand, a Christmas tree in the lower hall, the usual Tardy and Clean-Up Weeks, an interclass basketball tournament, and the publication of the school newspaper The Scotties Review. THE BLI v, Q -.qfff 6 .-N1 C MEINDELSSOHN CHGRAL CLUB In the fall, the Mendelssohn Choral Club elected the following officers: Nina Rider, President, Nyla McCrory, Vice Presidentg Jean Byars, Secretaryg Peggy Steele, Property Manager, Phyllis Overholt, Assistant Property Mana- ger, Mary Minette Hirst, Librarian and J. Mendel Hirst, Director. A quoto of twenty-four was maintained until spring when six new members were taken into the club. The club participated in many activities during the year. In 1936, it sang at the Fall Concert of the Male Chorus and presented a Cantata The Babe of Bethlehem at the United Brethren Church during the Christmas season. In 1937, the club was the guest of the North Union High School at an assembly: won recognition in a concert sponsored by the Forsenic and Music League of Pennsylvania, rendered several numbers at the April meeting of the Monday Music Club, gave its annual broadcast over WCAEQ and closed a successful year by taking part in the Commencement Program at the Strand. As only a few members are to be lost by graduation, the Choral Club ex- pects to be equally successful next year, WHITE SENIOR CLASS PLAY One of the exceptionally brillant stars in the crown of the il- lustrious Seniors of '37 is their capably presented class play New Fires.

NADpWHITE High School Volunteer Band and Orchestra Another successful year is now closing for the High School Band, which under the direction of J. Mendel Hirst, played for all the football and basketball games--both at home and away. During the football and basketball seasons, Mr. Hirst was assisted by Richard Riggan, a graduate of the class of 1936. A The orchestra got an early start this year when it played for the Junior Class Play, given November 17. It assisted the Choral Club in presenting a program for the Monday Music Club on April 19. The orchestra next furnished excellent music for the Senior Class Play on May 10 and 11. After its annual broadcast from station WCAE in Pittsburgh, the year's Work was successfully concluded by the presentation of special music for Commencement services. A great deal of new material, added this year, gives the volunteer Band and Orchestra great promise for the coming school year.

He went to school in the Pennsville school for eight years and is now in his Senior year at the Scottdale High School. In his school work, he has ranked as average up until his Senior year, when he had to drop Trigonomentry and Solid as it didn't have the punch that he has found in the straight shooting Wild West novels, which he now reads in his study period in Miss Sherrick's room. Bill, who is inclined to be rather lazy, usually perks up when spring gardening cc-mes along. His two main ambitions are to gradu- ate from high school and then get a job so that he may save money and buy a farm, the only kind of work that he likes. Bill has usually been a rather bashful boy when around the girls, althc-ugh he has had his heart throbs. He usually picks girls who are younger than he, as he believes in raising them to suit him- self. His main heart thump at the present time is Olive Thomas, a freshman at Mt. Pleasant High, who lives on a farm not far from Snoopville. M ARIAN BLUH M Marian Bluhm was born in 1921, in the little two by four village of Kingsview on Dexter road in Zephrs Glen. Of course, being the baby of the family, the other kids took a back seat. She was rather spoiled too. As she grew up she developed into a rather nice looking girl. And you know, having been born a good-looking girl, well, you- 'll nearly always find a boy. There was her freshman year at Mt. Pleasant High and we know she had a good time up there. Why she quit and came to Scottdale, I don't think anybody knows. Mt. Pleasant wasn't so bad even though they did have a dance or something social once in a while. Nothing really important happened during her so- phomore year. Her third year was the most interesting. This was the year dear, little Edward Jr. came into her life. There were shows with Eddieg swimingg etc. Once in a while her sister even chisled in on them. I dc-n't think the Bluhm's were ever crowded with young, handsome romeo's because Marion has a very vicious bull dog who seems to take pretty good care of her. It was Eddie, part of her fourth year too. We hope he's the last since she's going away to school and is going to be an old maid. THE BLT, E SARI ELIZABETH EHRENWERTH Sari Elizabeth Ehrenwerth was born June 2, 1919 at 219 Fifth Avenue, Sco-ttdale, Pennsylvania. She is five feet-six inches tall, weighs 128 pounds, and has brown hair and gray eyes, and is a con- stant user of lip-stick. Sari is c-ne of our most in.telligent and dignified seniors. She is a member of the Mendelssohn Choral Club, Miss Dick's secretary for two years, was one of our cheer leaders for two years and is also advertising manager of the annual this year. Her ambition when she graduates from High School is to be- come a private secretary, in a large city, such as Cleveland. Her life outside. of school is somewhat different from her school life. She likes to date, although this doesn't interfere with her school work and then come to school and tell us girls about what she did. She also likes to dance, roller skate, and sing. She drives a car, and what she likes most about this, is when she can drive over 70 miles an hour. Sari has lived in Scottdale all her life, including her seven- teenth year. She attended the Scottdale schools for twelve years. After she has completed high schoc-1 she-is determined ,to go to Cleve- land to work. We all wish her luck, wealth, happiness, a man and a small family of 14 or 15 kiddies.

HITE 1' 3 HELEN ELIAS Helen Elias was born in 1920, in a little gray house on the main street in Everson. Helen is a petite, brown haired, brown eyed girl, who just loves to chew chewing gum. fShe can crack gum, make bubbles, and annoy the teachers with it like an expert chewing gum chewerj When Helen was a little tot, she was as heartless little flirt and broke many hearts. When she was all of 4 years, she fell in love with the butcher's son down the street but he had eyes for no one but the little girl next door. Helen resolved never, never to look at another boy again. But when she was 14 years of age, a young man by the name of Peter Peepoch completely changed her mind. Oh! how she fell for him Ceven now you can see the crack in the sidewalk on the main streetj. This love making went on for two years until Pete went away. Helen busied herself by acting as barmaid in her father's beer garden. Lawrence Tressler, a young man from Everson, tried to win her love but was not successful. That old proverb, absence makes the heart grow fonder certainly was true in Helen's case, but it was fonder of someone else, and this time it was a young C. C. C. boy by the name of John Stempniah. Now it certainly looks as if Helen means business and before long wedding bells are expected to ring. MARY SMOLEN Born on the sixteenth day of May-teen years ago, the oldest of five children. As a small child, she didn't like to play with dolls but didn't have to be coaxed to eat her spinach and milk. At that time one of her pet pastimes was crawling down a stairways on hands and knees, head first. One day she went down so fast that she fell to the foot and hit her head on the steps. You can bet that was the last time she tried that stunt. Most of her pre-school days were spent out-of-doors, riding bikes. This was forgotten when at the age of six, she began her education in the usual manner, which con- sisted of her elementary grades where she carried the highest honors for eight years. In the fall of 1933 she came to Scottdale High School, a sweet, shy, green eyed girl ready to make friends with anyone she met. Now she is the same unspoiled girl. Mary's ambition is to be a nurse and she never refuses a chocolate sundae. Her favorite colors are blue and pink and she admits that she is a bit superstitious. P. S. For some strange reason she won't admit that she once took piano lessons. THE BLUE l DOLORES McCUSKER As the old grandfather clock in the hall finished striking twelve, the night was split by a long drawn out wail, which announc- ed the arrival of the new famous Dolores McCusker. The midnight of September 20, 1922 marks a very important date in the history, for whoever dreamed that this child, born in Youngwood, a backwoods community in the western part of Penn- sylvania, was to raise to such great heights. For one whom we all know and honor, naturally we are in-- terested in an account of her illustrious life. Even in her childhood days it was noticed and remarked upon about her intellect and mark- ed superiority over her playmates. She was especially known for her clever and witty remarks. Her predominant characteristic was and still is her love of adventure, and this trait was noticed very early in life for often she would steal away from home in the morning and not return until evening. Of the four children, she was the problem child, so you can readily understand what a relief it was for her mc-ther when she started to school. Her intelligence enabled -her to attend school at the very early age of four and graduate at the age of fifteen. Upon graduating from school she starred in the play New Fires. She was employed at various jobs but this life did not satisfy her, so she decided to break the world hitch-hiking record by going from coast to coast in a week. Since the space is to limited I cannot tell you of her many exciting adventures while on this trip. She is at present employed as private secretary for Henry Fc-rd, President of the Ford Motor Company. Because of her pleasant personality we know that she will be able to retain this job until her restless spirit urges her to travel again. ROBERTA ELAINE STEINER Miss Roberta Elaine Steiner, residing at 306 Chestnut Street, Scottdale, Pennsylvania, United States of America was borng she's seventeen now so I guess it was 1920. At the tender age of five in Grade I she liked a boy, and has been liking them ever since. At present, it's --g oh, but I can't tell. If it means anything to any- one, her theme sc-ng is You don't love right and maybe he doesn't. Her ambition is to become a nurse at the Children's Hospital. Timid as Elaine is, we know she will make good out in the cold, wide world and we wish her all the success possible in her future career. HITE l ini 'w 'I IRVIN BAUGHMAN Irvin Baughman was born December 24, 1916, in Morell, Dun- bar Township. He started to school when he was six years old. In 1929, the family moved to Scottdale. At this time Irvin started to sixth grade in the Pittsburgh Street School. Later, he was promoted to the Chestnut Street School, and from there to the Scottdale High School of which he is to be a graduate. Irvin is 5 ft., 7 inches tall. He has brown hair and brown eyes. His ambition, so he says, is to be a dairyman. He's often dreamed of the Baughman Brothers' Dairy in Owensdale. He has had quite a few love affairs. When he was in seventh grade, he took a liking to Dorothy Mingle, a Scottdale girl. The fol- lowing year, he fell in love with another Scottdale girl, Betty Jane Marth. fHe's still dating her and, by the way, she's one of our gradu- ates of the class of '37.J Irvin also went with an Eleanor Santmyer, 'from Owensdale. Irvin enjoyed himself in Miss Stoner's English class, for there he got to hold hands with Lois Tray. He has always said that he never did anything he was ashamed of, so we guess he is all right. He loves sports. He also likes to read, drive a car, go to mov- ies, skate, etc. Irvin should have graduated with the class of '36 but due to the fondness of the teachers and class mates, he came back for an- other year. fxgiqie f 1 ,V 2,51 THE BLUE 5 . MODERN SLEEPING BEAUTY Not so long ago, in the far off country of Patovia, was born the little crown princess, Patrica. From birth, Patrica was blessed with beauty, riches, a fair amount of brains. and good bree-ding. Despite all these advantages, the princess was cursed, without a doubt. She had been born in the very, very, drab, uninteresting twentieth century. Maria. Patricia's mother had often said to the worthy ladies of the court, If only Patty dear might have lived while knighthood was flowering! She would have found life such a lark, but as it is, she has only her car, the country club, and the theatre to amuse her. Patrica herself thought that fate might at least have allowed her to begin life while Caesar and Mark Anthony were alive. She felt posi' tive that after she had had a facial and wave at Pierre's, that hussy, Cleopatra would have looked like so much small change besides the crown princess Patrica of the principality of Patovia. g One hot July afternoon, Queen Maria was busy entertaining the ladies of the court circle at a not too intelligent game of bridge on the west portico of the palace. It was somewhat of a celebration, as the royal family was going to leave for southern France the following day. Since the players were of the weaker sex, conversation flowed freely. Have you seen Countess Carmen since she has returned from the Rivera? ask one of the group. ' u But definitely, replied Archduchess Clara. Isn't she a sight? The smiling southern skies certainly did bring out her freckles. . --. Well, I, for one, said Queen Maria, am going to guard against the same thing. I'm going to make lavish use of Madame Angelica's sun cream. And didn't Alice of Larrimore look frightful at the ball last evening? commented another of the group. Oh, quite so, answered the Archduchess. She should have realized that those large flowers in her gown merely helped to accentuate her- her bulk. Then, from another table came a husband's knowing voice, Have you heard about the Duchess Arlene's behavior at the Casino the other night? The question was answered by a chorus of excited no's. Well, this is strictly confidential, you understand ' but at that instant a servant rushed breathlessly upon the scene. Helen! curtly demanded Queen Maria. What do you mean by inter- rupting our game in this manner? ANd HITE MODERN SLEEPING BEAUTY But, your highness, she answered, it is only a matter of extreme im- portance that brings me here. I assure you. And what is this very urgent business? The cooks, your highness. They have all set down in the kitchen. They refuse to work until you buy them aqua colored dishholders to replace the old royal purple ones. How absurd, exclaimed the queen, but Isuppose we shall have to give in to them eventually! It's probably the result of the work of that dastardly Committee for Interior Ostentation. I understand that quite a furore was created in the summer palace of ,Barconica last week, said the Duchess Arlene. It was necessary to make use of the royal guard to scatter the striking householders who had armed themselves with brooms and butcher knives. Oh, sighed Queen Maria, What a pity that we won't be able to have our delightful little lunch now. Then, brightening, she added, Let us rejoice,how- ever. for we shall have avoided just so many more pounds of extra weight. Meantime, Princess Patricia, hopelessly bored with her day's activities,--- swimming, golfing, riding, and two hours in the beauty salon, had become involved in the performance of a tremendous task. In a halfhearted fash- inn, she was instructing her personal maid in the packing of her trunks for the trip the following day. Iust as the lid of the last trunk had been snapped shut, and Lucette, the maid, had left the room, Patricia's gay little handerchief fluttered mischievously to the floor. As Patty stooped to re- capture the errant, zip'-and a runner showed its vivicious self in her lovely chiffon hose. Frantically, she called for Lucette, but no answer came. What could she do? She hadn't another pair of stockings that would look half decent with her dubonnet sports frock. Nail polish might help, but where was it? Wildly, she tried to locate it, but to no avail. Then, when she saw lying upon her dressing table some thread and a needle that Lucette had been using, she was seized with a sudden inspiration. Why not sew the runner? But sew! She, the crown princess of Patovia! Still, she had to do something, for Count Geoffrey was clue in ten minutes to take her to the country club. Gingerly she picked up the needle, she broke a thread and attempted to poke it through the eye. Why, she wondered, didn't they make these im- possible needle eyes at least the size of thread? After manv unsuccessful endeavors, she finally had the needle threaded. Then, to sew with it! Awk- wardly she began. She had taken scarcely more than two stitches when, Ouch, she pricked her dainty little finger. A great drop of red blood appeared. At the sight of that, she threw herself upon her bed, moaning, O-oo-oo, I've killed myself. As she lay there, she began to wander how long it would be before anyone should discover her plight. Perhaps she THE BLT MODERN SLEEPING BEAUTY might even bleed to death! However, such was not to be the case, for as she made no attempt to arouse herself, she grew quite drowsy and eventually fell off to sleep. Her so-called boring activities had apparently proved too much for her. Time marched on. Everyone about the palace was too excited about the trip next day and the strike of the cooks to even give poor Pat a thought. Count Geoffrey intentionally forgot to call for her after he had found a very fascinating blonde on the beach. Day passed into night, and night into morn- ing. Still no person bothered himself about Patricia. Finally, about nine o'clock in the morning, the express truck drove onto the palace grounds. Lucette directed the driver to Pataicia's room so that he might remove her trunks to the station. Seeing that the princess was sleeping, she sternly ordered him to be quiet about it. However, as he carried a trunk through the door, the awkward fellow tripped. The resulting crash of trunk and falling human body was effective enough to awaken even Morpheus himself. Patricia sat upright, rubbed her eyes, and seeing the chap twho was not at all hard to look atl sprawled very ungracefully just inside her room door, gasped Why -why, you're the man I'm going to marry. I've just been dream- ing about you, But, your highness, he interrupted. Silence, she commanded. You're the ideal I have been searching for all my life. You'll marry me if I have to persuade father to take away the rights of the common people. I want what I want, and I'll have it. Just as you say, your highness, he complied smiling. Alter all, why shouldn't he do as she wished? A huge fortune was involved, the princess was easy on the eyes, and there were always the divorce courts.
