ANUARY of nineteen X hundred twelve brought to Chicago X x one of the heaviest X I X snowstorms she .had drifts were piled high, and Jack Frost was enthroned in all his . glory. But despite his direful threats and disheartening efforts to keep people -in- . doors, fifty-three very happy boys and girls raced over the frozen crust to school. But their eager, carefree attitude changed to one of dignity and self-confidence as the doors of the school house swung open to admit them. A consciousness of their position overwhelmed them. For with the beginning of the New Year, a new S QQ Q I X. 1 x S I N X X seen in years, The ,X ' Q ' W br K3 ', T career had unfolded in tho life of each one, and this Friday was to mark the close of grammar school days and to in- troduce them to the great, unknown, high school world. The great ceremony soon was over, leaving behind it a rib- bon-tied diploma in each hand and a feeling of deep satisfaction in each heart. The situation was somewhat changed, however, when the following 3IOIlilRX morning arrived. Many don ts am misgivings slackcncd thc previously eager step. The enchanted lmll of knowl- edge of their dreams, was converted more and more into a mattcr-of-fact and stern red brick school the nearer they ap- --,S i 1 T 4? LSL -.fl .5 Lass HISTORY proaehed. All the joyful anticipation was turned into dread, and it was with no small degree of suspicion and fear that they entered the great and terrible high school. Once inside, fifty-three strong wills, supported by as many prides, came to the rescue, and fifty-three courageous young people presented them- selves for registration. Once having mastered the initial step, further defeat was impossible and firm resolve took the helm to guide the frail craft through the Hoods and storms of doubt and discour- agement that were sure to come. Ot' these there have been many, but of joy and success, there have been iuorc. When the tirst year of school life came to a close, there was a great star on the horizon of these budding sophomoresg a new haven was to be opened to them. For many molnths eager eyes had been watch- ing thc slow growth of a mammoth struc- ture and at last it was ready. How tlmnkfully the counuand to march was received in the little branch on Clark Street. And the echo, march reached the ears of a number in Lake View and they too, responded. Thus a company of about seven hundred was formed and with earnest and united effort they pro- ceeded innnediately toward the work of organization. That first semester, while disagreeable in some respects, was en- joyed hy all. The very important busi- ness of choosing the sehool colors was so heartily entered into, that it reminded one of campaigns and politicians. On the morning of the final decision, the lmll was draped on the 0110 side with green- and-white and on the other with blue- Four THE FORUM and-gold. Not only were the halls thus decorated with the suggested colors, but their advocates as well. Next in order, was the naming of the school paper, and shortly after the opening of a few third- tloor rooms, the semester was brought to a successful close. The next September, all the doors were thrown wide open, and Seun called her children from far and near. lt was then that those little freshmen who had enrolled on the Sftllle day, but unknown to each other, came together as sopho- moves, and from among those sophomores has been sifted our present class. The following semester saw many ae- complislnnents. The first was the length- ening of the school day, and a change from six to eight periods. The Glee Clubs and Orchestra presented their first great cantata then, The Rose-Maiden. Last semester was distinguished by our very successful Field Day, but two of Senn's greatest achievements have taken place this semester. The first was in the field of athletics. All during the foot- ball season, the boys of our team labored hard and faithfully, and their time and etfort were rewarded when the close of the season came and they had won for Senn the championship of Cook County. The other triumph was effected by the combined efforts of several departments. On December seventeenth, the t'Mikado was presented in Senn Hall. The room was not large enough to accommodate all in the evening, so it was necessary to give an afternoon performance in addition. This production was a splendid example of what Senn is able to accomplish wholly by itself. The 4A class met in the middle of No- vember and proceeded to the work of organization. By Christmas time all the elections and necessary business con- nected with Commencement had been attended to. Now we have reached the eve of an- other eareer. Our high school days have ended. As we look back over the past four years, we all agree that it has been time and effort well invested. Not very much wisdom, perhaps, hut a broader view and a clearer vision are ours. Not a great amount of learning has been added to our store, but some experience. We are only pausing on the threshold of a. wider field. Many more sources of development and greater opportunities will be ours. And in accordance with the strength we have gathered these last four years, will be our ability to meet fixture demands, for with the ropes of the past future bells shall be rung. Zoe Seator. SOME BELATED WORDS TO OUR NEW SONG. Dear old Sena, we're for you! To the green and white we're true! If you lose we will cheer you the same: We're for you all the way, So you can't lose today: Fight for all you're worth for Senn and wln the game. May your flag gally fly, May your records e'er stand highp We will kneel at your shrine once again, And your lovers will pray For your welfare today, And forever and for aye, dear Nicholas Sean.

We sail to-morrow. and here our pat-king is only half done. Paul Corrubia dropped in this afternoon to bid us farewell. Ile is taking advanced work in Freneh at the Sorbonne. and we bave seen him often during our studies here. April 26, l92-I. lt, is the fourth day out, and this is the first time I have opened my diary sinee we sailed. Snell a lot ot' things happen- ing too, that I know I am not going to remember them all. When we first boarded the ship at Cherbourg. what was our surprise to meet our old class- mate, Milton Lumliu, Captain Lundin now, if you please. talking with Zoe Sea- tor, who is on her way back to America after a thrilling zoologieal expedition to Darkest At'riea. for the Joneson- jfehruarp, 1916 ian lnstitule. After we had exchanged greetings and talked over old times n little, the Captain proposed a tour of in- speetion. to whit-h we gladly assented. We went through the u'hole ship. How often I had wished to do this: to see the mysterious boiler-rooms down there below the waterline. the kiteheu. and all the other parts of this ot-ean hotel whieh I knew only from its brighter side, In the kitehen we were watching with in- terest the proeess of bread making. when suddenly Mabel seized my arm aml ealletl my attention to u distinguished looking gentleman in a froek coat sitting before a desk with all kinds of strange instru- ments strewn aronnd him. 0h. l almost forgot. said ftlilton. that's Fred Lteruier. our head chef. Sorry we ean't talk to him now, but we mustn't disturb him. Ile is eomposing a symphonic salad for Mildred Matthews. the Grand Opera Prima Donna. who is a passenger on this trip. ' WVe moved on and presently after we had kept going down. and down, the captain threw open an iron door aml u breath of seething hot air burst upon Ili. The white hot surface of the boiler fires ttashed upon us and almost blinded us. Soon, however, our eyes beeame acous- tomed to the glare and there before us in silhouette we saw a myriad of moving forms feeding eoal with huge spoons into the hungry maw of the gigantic furnaee. Do you recognize that little short fellow over there? asked Milton sud- denly. ' We all looked hard at the individual indicated but eonfessed ourselves battled. 'llhen Milton ealled to him and he came over. VVe all recognized him at the same time. XVhy, Herbert Irish. how thin you have grown! I exelaimed. Everyone laughed and I blushed. at least I think I did, if my face could have beeome any redder than that flaming tire had made it. Herbert after his tirst THE FOIfU.1l Fifteen. surprise, was delighted to see us and explained that he was acting as a Stoker in order to acquire local eolor for his new novel. I'll have to stop, now. Here is Mabel ruining to tell me land is in sight. April 29, 1924. 'l'he exeitement of landing in New York. after a long absenee, left my brain in a whirl. As we left the ship. we met Sid Anderson on the doek presiding over the labors ot' a gang of baggage smashers. He was far too busy to give us more than a smile. and we passed on. As our taxi sped through the streets we gazed with interest upon the sights whieh our long absenee had rendered strange to us. Sud- denly Mabel culled to the elunittenr to stop. Then she pointed excitedly to a hand ot' Salvation Army lassies holding forth before a dull-looking erowd of slum dwellers. We jumped out of the taxi and drew eloser to the erowd. I was surprised to hear the familiar voice of Marie Larson raised in song. and to no- tiee Eileen West systematieally pound- ing a drum. while Gladys Newberry wandered among thc listeners with her tannborine trying to persuade the pen- nies to drop. Soon the musie stopped, and Clara Week climbed on a. soap box and addressed the audience. At the close of her talk. she announeed that Cadet Ruth Garratt would favor ns with a solo on the Jew's harp. We jumped baek into our taxi, and sped away. 'Soon the ehanffeur turned into Broadway. and we were immediately reminded of the approaehing presiden- tial eleetion. as a burly policeman stopped us and announeed that the Suf- fragettes were parading in favor of Ilar- riet Marks as the NVmnan 's Party Candi- date for President. IVe left tlte eab standing. and pushed through the crowd to watch the parade. Soon the proees- sion appeared. At the head u'as Mary Putnam. riding in state in a 1916 Fliver wbieh I recalled had been given her as a Commeneement gift. The Fliverwas ttanked on eaeh side by an impressive body guard of young sutfragettes mounted on spotless white donkeys. Among these enthusiasts we reeognized Evelyn Harvey, Lueile Thayer. Edna Magnuson, Isabel Mt-t'orntaek, Pauline Russell, Cora Prendergast, Myrtle XVar- ner, and Frances IViehe. As we were getting baek into the taxi I got. my tirst good look at our ehautTeu1'. I was much startled to tind that he was George Ilouseholder. l was so startled in fact that I bumped my head on the top of the ear and badly disar- ranged my eoitfure. . Never mind. said George. I'l1 drive you right over to Madame Piper's Beauty Parlor. You reinember Dorothy. don 't you? Violet Severin is her part- ner sinee she gave up her kindergarten work.', We then went to Madame l'iper's. a very pretentious establislnnent just otf Fifth Avenue. IVhile my eoitl'ure was being rearranged Ada Coussens rushed in. Reeognizing nie. she rushed up de- lightedly mid told me that she had just taken the position of head librarian at the New York Publie Library. I asked about Elsie Funk and Ada said in a surprised tone. t'Ob, hadn't you heard? She is John D. Rot-ket'eller's private librarian. As we let't the beauty shop I beard the newsboys ealling extras and having purchased one, I elimbed after the others into the eab. In large headlines aeross the top ot' the sheet I read. Famous Baseball Case on Trial. I am not in- terested in baseball aml was about to pass this by when I uotieed a familiar name in the sub-heading. I then read the ar- tiele and found that Leroy Bishop was being sued by the New York Giants for breaking his baseball eontraet of the year before to take a position as head eoaeh ot' the Yale football team. The ease was to be tried before -Iudge Iianrenee Gilliek. NVhen I lmd finished read- ing the article I glaneed over it again. I had overlooked the name at the head of the eolumn but notieed now that the article had been written by George NVoltf, who had become a famous sport- ing writer. I idly turned tlte pages of the paper. I paused at the editorial page. There I noticed a department, How to Be Happy Though Married. conducted by Ethel Siemon.

She always had heen so speedy ou the typewriter in the days at Senn. that I was not surprised at see- ing her ot-enpying this ltonorable seat. She had so many medals that I did not take the time to ask her where or from whom she had received all of them. l let't Boston the next morning to spend a few days in Brookline. a very beautiful residential snhurh. I took my way first to Beaeonstield Hotel. on Bea- eon and then walked up Fisher Hill. where l saw a very heautifnl home. On the lawn was a group ot' young people, the-hostess heing Mildred Brister. lVe reeognized eaeh other at a moment's glance. and I was invited to join them. lVe took a walk through the beatiful Chestnut llill Reservoir. and went down t'onnnoinvealth Ave.. the most fashion- ahle and one of the finest lioulevards in the world. The following day a group ot' girls and myself went for an exenrsion on the Atlantic to Salem. whieh is not very far from Brookline. lVe went in swimming at Salem Willows Beaeh. and afterwards played tennis at the tennis eonrts near the heaeh. where we met Graee Johnson- and Gladys Goddard. now great athletes, playing tennis. I might say they were ehampions. as we played a few games against them and they won every time. NVe then went to see the old witeh house. the oldest house now standing in Salem, having heen lmilt hefore 1635. After- wards we went haek to Brookline where I stayed over night. The next morning I took the train for XVoreester. as 1 wanted to see their university and other hnild- ings. and I saw the State Mutual Build- ing. etc. l then went to the Clark linivere sity, which eertainly is a lovely sehool. l went to the otiiee to have someone show me through this lmilding. The prin- eipal. who was no one but Mabel Bixler, showed me through the school. As we were passing: through the corridors and watching the elasses at work. it reminded me of the days at Senn, and we were soon met hy a girl who seemed to be in a great hurry. I was told that she. Mil- dred Anderson, was the editor of the Voltage paper. As we went into one of the English rooms, l was introdueed to Evelyn Uomher, now a College English teaeher. On my way haek to Boston I stopped ot? at Cambridge to see Harvard Uni- versity. the oldest Vniversity in the United States. the principal eollege hnildings numbering! twenty-tive. I was shown through these wonderful hnild- ings and met Sidney Drought. now a teacher in the Medical Department. After my visit here. 1 went haek to Boston. l met a hand of sntfragettes, who were on their way to Xvashington, D. FH. the lender being Edna Nordgren. I went into the Jordon Marsh K Com- pany Department Store. eomparing with that of Marshall Field K Company. in t'hieago. Here I met Mildred Goulet, now a forelady for the hnsiness depart- ment. and Elvira Koi-opp. the head stenographer. After spending seven weeks of enjoy- ment in Boston and the surrounding towns, 1 hegan to think ol' Chicago once more. Early in the afternoon ofthe next day. l was seeing Boston for the last time and bidding farewell to iny old t-lassmates. The following day at 11:55 .l. M, I was again baek in Chicago ready for hard work once more. Ruth Engwall.

U M Peaee Palaee, whit-h has lately been lin- ished. The fishing town of Seheveningen is in walking distanee from The Hague and is a. well known summer resort. The fish- ers of this town dress very quaintly. The men wear small ea ps, lplue or black coats, whieh rome to the thigh, and flaring trousers fsuch as sailors wearj. The women wear tight caps of beautiful hand- made laee over a eap of silver or gold plate. a tight fitting waist. and a. small shawl drawn down under an apron, whieh eovers a very wide skirt. lVhen we had been there a few days, a heavy mist typical of the region gath- ered. and the air grew very eold. In the morning we found that this mist had frozen and made the most beautiful seen- ery one could imagine. 'l'lte eanals were frozen over and the skating began. You could even see the farmer-'s wife ton skatesj going to town with her mar- ket hasket on her head or arm. The ire was soon erowded with skaters of all ages and sizes. who were taking advan- tage of the short period olTered for this sport.

As he sat staring at the sleek lines of his speed boat, retleeting on the months of toil and self-denial, even actual hun- ger at times, that it represented, he had reason enough for quitting the game. For the Flying Vee had never won a raee. Jim. a veteran nieelianician, had been imbued with an idea. Ile had changed, radically, the under-body of his boat from the designs then approved, so that the resistance was lowered and the planing surfaee increased. Had his ven- ture succeeded. new records would have been hung up, and fame and fortune would lmve courted him. But it hadn't sueeeeded. not hy eonsiderable, and the worst part of it was the apparent lack of eause for his numerous failures. Jim had faith in his queer, clumsy shaped crate , however. He felt that his ideas were right, and he was sure that the chance to prove it would some day ar- rive. It was heartbreaking to give up all his plans, but his funds, always low. had crackerlunder the strain, for the experi- mental stage of a racing motorhoat is not renmnerative. That morning he had spent very near- ly his last dollar for gasoline. and as he drew up to the starting line of the II. 1', B. Trophy Race, his heart was sore with- in him. He didn't even hope to get into the money. As for winning, the mere thought of the tive thousand dollars prize money sent his head awhirl. Why, if by a lucky ehanee he won, his fortune would he made, for there are always men in sporting eireles ready to buy the patents of a winning boat. But he kncw too well that any boat that planed like the Flying Vee had no chance. As the white ting dropped, he stepped on the accelerator pedal, and oti' shot the Flyer, well up in l'ront. Poor Jim, he al- ways got a good start-and finished an easy last. There was something uncanny about it. They ran true to form. The boat planed nicely, and Jim 's drawing was he- yond reproach, until they hit the rough water in the outside leg of the eourse. But no sooner had the hydro, ripping along at a tremendous clip, struck the first of a tide of waves. than her how soared skyward, her speed slackencd, and she gradually lost place. One. two THE FORUM Twenty-I ive and finally three boats passed them on the disastrous outside leg. As the third boat Went hy, Jim got mad. He knew that his boat could heat any of them in in still water and he fought desperately to hold it in fourth place. Driving like a crazy man, he worked the hoat from side to side of the course. keeping his place by his skillful joekeying. This work was rewarded. No boat passed him again. and as he turned the buoy and straightened out on the third leg of the eourse. the hydro settled down and ran in her proper form. On and on they raced, Jim gradually catching up to the three boats that led him. As they rounded the buoy which marked the end of the course, and started on the second lap, he nosed out one of them, thus get- ting third plaee. Witli the throttle wide open he sped after the two leaders, but apparently eouldu't quite catch them. The handi- cap was too big. llut on they went, and as they neared the buoy that marked the rough water. he realized that he would lose place again. and he forced his mo- tor to the limit in a vain endeavor to get the lead while still in calm water. The boat in first place took the turn at a reduced speed and get around safely. But number two, hard pressed by J immy, attempted it at a high rate of speed. They barely got started when a wave hit the ehine on the port side. and the how skidded sharply to starboard, the boat eareened with a sharp sweep. and over- turned. Now, Jimmy was a true sport. The ae- eident left him in second place and he stood a. fair chance of getting into the money despite the rough water. But it had also left two men Houndering help- lessly several miles from shore, and he knew that unless he helped them they might go down. Accordingly, he threw out his clutch and glided up to the help- less men. It was something that not one man in a hundred would have done, hut Jim was playing a square game, although a losing one. He considered that it was no honor to win a raee hy taking advan- tage of some one else 's hard luck. 'tWell, boys. you had a had spillf, said Jim as he hauled them over the gunwpale. t'But crawl up forward, and we'll he on our way. As he spoke, numher six roared past, and before he got well under way, number eight. The crew of the wrecked boat had climbed over the mo- tor. and were perched up umh-r the areherl deck, hanging on to whatever they could grasp. They had a tough time of it in the rough water. Jim at first was afraid to open the throttle very far, het-anse of the men up forward. But as its speed in- creased, the boat rode inure steadily. and the expression on the drcver's face grew puzzled. Slowly he gave it more gas, and as no had effects resulted. he opened the t-rottle wide. The motor roared, F' :ir 5.

We hope that every Sennite fells that he has reason to he prourl ot' his school pa- per. The statf has trirtl to make it het- ter, larger and more interesting than in previous years and we t'eel thot it has sue- eeeiletl. But the ere-dit sloes not all Ime- long to the stall. The major portion he- longs to those who have given the Forum their literary and tinaucial support. lllany 0E the Foruiu's best friends ansl workers will graduate and lenve us this month, and as all snhseriptions expire with this issue, it becomes as to get husy at once and rally our forces l'or next se- mester, ilf we want the l ornni to maintain its high standard.

What little mother-less in- mate of an asylum could fail to appre- ciate a. letter from a new big sister or brothcr who goes to a moderately busy high school? Indeed it would appear that we are behind the Freslnncn. for in their de- partment this month appear two letters which were written to shut-ins. Even if it's only once in a long while that you find time to do this. itz seems worth while and rather like lending a hand. E. One often hears that history in the making is never recognized. Perhaps we are too close to get a good perspective. The chances are that very few of us realize that a new and more comprehen- sive line of soeial activity was opened up to us on the night ot January fourteenth. Three lnuldrcd and fifty persons COIN- prising the Gloc Club, the Dramatic Ulub, the Forum Staff. and all members of the respective teams were invited. As each person was allowed to bring one guest, the number was swelled to ap- proximately seven hundred. Do you see on what a large scale Scnn can entertain l The reception at which so many en- joyed themselves was given by the fac- ulty in appreciation of the services of those organizations which serve the school at large. One cause for regret is that more could not he invited. There are other organizations and other indi- viduals that have also been very helpful to the school. but as there was really not room for all. it was felt that some limit must he set. Perhaps in the future a dif- ferent arrangement can he made, but so far, Federal Park alone is big enough for ns all. lt is hoped. however. that the en- tertainment: of the various organizations can be made a permanent part of our fes- tivities.

No one knows what happened there save the favored few Avho attended.

VVritten below were the words, If anyone asks you who you are, say Je suis Enezf' He did as he was directed and entered the garden door which had been left open by the girl. Following the plan. he emne to the side entranee of the house. There he knocked and said in a rough voice, Je suis Enez. His pronunciation. to be sure. was not up to the mark, but it snliieed ami he was admitted into a spa- cious living room. He knew he was playing a dangerous game, and he played it with a hold hand. The servant said something to him. hilt he only scowled and walked to the farther end of the room, where he found the key, as he had been directed, behind a mug. Vilalking with a eonfident air, which hc hy no means felt. he stalked out of the room into the lmll. where a flight of steps led him to a second hall. similar to thc iirst. Here he stopped and examined the chartfthird door to the left. He went up to it and, with a qnaking heart. knocked. A voice answered. Iz zat you? .ix-usa, t'Zen open ze door. He did as he was hidden. and there she stood arrayed in a hewitehing entangle- ment of lace and velvet: around her snowy throat a string of pearls. 'tQuiek! put zes on.'l she said. lmnd- ing him a lllephistopheles costume. and leading hiln to an empty room across the hall. Bcwildered. hc followed her like a child, and before he knew what he was doing, he found himself in the traditional tiery garb of the keeper of as fiery a. place. He opened the door. and there she stood waiting for him, What shall I do with thesei he said, pointing at his daily attire. Leave zem here! she commanded. 'tand eome qniek wiz me! ,ry yi He oheyed'and soon found himsell' be- ing led down a hack stairway and into a splendid eoaeh. She said something to the couchman and he drove madly otf. The carriage rocked and swayed as though a thing alive. bumping over the uneven pavements and flinging the two inmates savagely at eaeh other, and then again tearing them apart. The girl laughed. We go a little zu fast Y ' ' No, murmured Jim, after recov- ering himself from an extraordinary leap on the part ofthe vehicle, 'ibut the road is had. lVhere are we going? Suddenly the carriage came to a halt before a brilliantly ,lighted palace. A footman in gorgeous attire helped Jim and his mysterious lady companion out. Jim's bewildered senses became still more bewildered by the magnificent re- splendency which surrounded him. La- dies in shimmering satin and downy vel- vetsg gallants in silken hose and jeweled donblets: lackeys in purple livery em- hroide1'ed with a glistening golden 'LG 1 pages dressed like fairies and carrying golden gohlets filled with rare old vin- tage, all laughing and dancing under a canopy of blinding light. A gently sway- ing pnnkah spread a delicious perfumed breeze among the gay throng. sending a cooling refreshment to the heated dancers. The weird music sent its enticing charms thrilling through Jim 's body, making his very finger tips tingle with irresistible joy. Scizing the girl. he waltzcd into the throng, intoxicated hy the hilarity of it all, His head swam and he drank the cooling beverage provided by eonvenient pages. and again whirled arf in an oblivion of joy: the fairy 0l't ll- ture in his mighty arms. Suddenly throngh the heavily scented air came the whistle of a gigantic steam- erg clear, distinct, calling. It penetrated the joy dcafened ear of Jim. It called him back to this world. It made every- thing he had forgotten swarm back into his heated brain, like awakening from a beautiful dream. He stopped, looked at the beauty nestling lovingly in his arms and for one short moment wavered. Then with a mighty ery he burst through the throng and dashed madly into the eool- ing night air. On he ran. down. down, down to the sea, leaving far behind him the lights. the dancers and the girl. Past the late revelers and past drowsy poliee: past everything. he went on in one mad rush to reach the departing steamer. ln- stinctively he found his WRX among the labyrinth of inky alleys and at last emerged upon the long wharf. THE FORUM TIL irty-Tlwee The drowsy Algerian stevedores were Eriglltened by a tiery apparition who leaped madly among them with a broken tail clapping behind him. and sought Al- lah,s instant protection against the in- carnate fury. So were the sailors, as up the gang plank. which they were lifting, sprang a tottering demon. with Iolliug tongue and blazing eyes, and in their turn im- plored unknown deities for salvation. So were the ladies in the parlor as among them dashed the same Hery figureg and they say some lost consciousness on account of this apparition. The steward in front of Jim 's door sntfered like symp- toms and became a nervous wreck for the rest of the voyage. Banging the door behind him, Jim sat down to reconstruct his mental forces, and sat panting like a spent dog for an hour with his head between his hands. Meanwhile rumor had it that a con- sultation of war was held in the fore sa- loon, and that not only feminine but also masculine passengers participated in its rather timorous characteristics. The cou- elusion of this assembly was that one of those claiming adherence to Adam 's forces should he chosen to investigate and to deny or verify the devilish tale which eaused such great consternation on hoard. The lot befell to one. who, because ot' his brave deeds of valor. heralded by himself. was thought a veritable Ulysses. But he did not seem to appreciate the unanimous compliment. and pleaded in- disposition, but prompted hy certain sar- castic remarks among the ladies buckled himself down to his fate and proceeded to Jim 's cabin. Some authentic wit- .1 nesses have chronicled that down in the hall the chosen llC1'0 's strength complete- ly gave way and that it took the com- bined effort of ten men to resuscitate him, and keep him from enacting a most igno- ble retreat. But he could not withstand their persuasion and finally entered Jim is cabin. Ten minutes passed. Twenty minutes passed and the nervous watchers began to eonjnro up fell diagnoses as to the dire etfects caused by the meeting. At last their painful suspense was quieted by the reappearanee of the timid investi- gator. Now, too, he was trembling, but from quite a different rauseg unrestrain- able mirth seemed to have grasped his physical control and he tottered like .ltlas under his load. HCOIIIE to the smoking room! he roared. And they, like true born sheep, fol- lowed him to that sacred edifice, man's last stronghold against the invading sex. There, surrounded by his cronies . and entrenched behind a cloud of smoke, ' he blurted forth poor Jim 'S story and di- lemma, and one was heard to say, drunk , another. too much , and yet. a third, stewed . But men are such llnsyinpathetic creatures. Then one, who perhaps himself being a bit addicted to liquor, henevolently sug- gested the passing of a collection to again reinstate Jim in the apparel of the twentieth century. The best thing about it is. laughed the hero. that he really believes the story, and went so far as to show me tho key with which he unlocked this mystic beauty. And the rest joined in his laugh.

A red flush mounted the hoy's faee and he awkwardly grasped the little hand held out to him. But he heard another tale when lie reached home. Tllibe Zfaarr In a secluded part of the city of Chi- cago. in a small house set far back on the lot on which it was huilt, there lived an old British ex-corporal of the Green IIus- sars, NVhen he had first come there, no one knew, however. there he came and there he stayed. In his day helmust have heen a powerfully huilt man, to judge from a portrait which was found hang- ing on a wall in the house, hut years of terror and constant worry had reduced him to a weak. hysterical wreck, The old lnan bothered no one and lived alone. never having any visitors and hy his attitude showing that lie wanted none. A constant air ot mystery surrounded this man who, by the way, was named llarris. and so it seemed. when one night in the late fall, scream after scream ot' terror was heard coming from his hum- hle dwelling, the police were called. the door hroken open. and an entrance forced into the house. As soon as the intruders found them- selves inside, they ascended the stair from ahove which the ear-piercing screams had proceeded. hut where now all was silent. At- the top of the stair a closed door hlocked further investiga- tion. This also was forced open and the police found themselves in a small room which was in ahsolute darkness. Flash- lights were produced and what their rays found was enough to cause even the hard- ened otlieers to draw hack in horror. Rob, said his father, if you take any more dare-devil rides like that one on the 'Snowbird' that I have just heard of, you won't have any 'Snow- hird' to ride on. lt l ever hear ot' such an escapade again. the 'Snowbird' will have another owner in another city. You might have killed every one of those girls and yourself toof' But there was another story. My, lint I wish I could have seen the lad! said his futher to one of his friends. From all accounts, he did the only thing possible and didn't hesitate an instant. Florence Button, R. 181. is Jitlpsterp 'l'here on a chair hcforc u small tahle sat old Harris, but so changed as to he un- recognizahle. IIis face was strangely distorted by terror. while fastened to his neck hy the fangs ot' death clung a huge cohra. -On the tahlc hefore him was an open jewel case and several sheets of closely written paper. By this time the horror-stricken spectators had regained their courage and tinding the switch, turned on the lights. while one of the of- ficers snatched up u elmir and with a hlow from this erude weapon killed the. deadly reptile. The police then gathered up the paper strewn on the tahle and proceeded to read what it contained. The following statement is what they read. To whom it may concern: lt was in the year IS-l2, while on a campaign in India against the tribes who would not accept our rule, that I came in possession of it. I was a corporal in the Green Hussars and was loved and re- spected by my regiment. lt was after a hot skirmish with a small tribe of Hinduos that I became separated from my eompanions. In fear of being captured by some of the enemy. I rode on alone to a small pass in the hills where I had noticed on a fornier engagement that there was a small eave.

BOOTS. Boots was the heloyed cat of the Lyneh family, consisting of Mr. and Mrs. Lynch and their son Bob. .lt was the last even- ing of the Christmas vacation and the following day Bob was to return to Yale. Bob, please come here a moment, railed his mother from the next 1'00lll. Entering the sitting-room the obedient. son spied Mr. Deane, the landlord. He was Saying in n tirln tone to Mrs. Lynch, 'You will either sell your cat or move. I always make it a rule never to allow people to occupy n1y tlats if they have rats. I am sorry, but this is final. NVith that the door closed upon the back of lllr. Deane. 'iThat's richf' said Bob, and he re- turned to his room to pack. The next morning in front of the two- story iiat building stood Bob, bidding farewell to his fond parents. Upon entering the house Mrs. Lynch called for the beloved out to console her, but no kitty came. I Boots, onine here. Oh! where are you Y called his iuistrt-ss. V No sound was audible in the llat. Inl- nietliatuly Mrs. Lynch looked: under all the chairs and tables, in the sewing-has ket and behind the doors. Then in the hed-room and under the heds, in the clos- ets. and dresser drawers. a. careful search was inatle. By this time poor Mrs. Lynch was hysterical and the hunt for Boots t-ould not continue, That evening there was another search. Under beds, into closets, into the pantry went lllr. Lynch. But with no better success, Finally he announced his des- perate intention of going down-stairs to inquire it Mr. Deane had seen the cat. Opening the door the master of Boots went out, only to return with a down-vast face, for Mr. Deane had strongly denied having seen Boots, H i K Q O li ii Now, who can that be at one o'ulock in the morning! said Mr. Lynch. He jumped up and opened the front door. There stood a messenger boy with a big hox and a telegram. Mr. Lynch following : read the K'Found Boots in my suitcase and am sending him home. Bob. And there in the box was the long lost meniher of the household. Grace Roe, R. 258. Jan. 16.

Anon came the throned Dawn, the rosy-tingered, and awakened the divine Odysseus. The goddess. grey-eyed Athene, had sent' him, during the past night, a dream of his home. And now he sat. himself upon the shore ot' this distant island, walled Ogygia. and his thoughts wandered haek to Penelope and his son, Telemachus. , Oh, why did I not make sacrifice unto Poseidon? I had rather died a hero at Troy than to he thus held Captive bv this fair goddess, Calypso. If only had ship and oars. so that l might again cross the wine-dark deep and again be amongst my friends and with my wife. Oh. how I long to seo my sweet wife and my son. who was but a babe when I left. Surely he hath by now t!0lllt' into his manhood, and mayhap, my Penelope has wed an- other, thinking of me as dead. H0 g0llflPSS, grey-eyed Atln-nt+tliou hast always had pity 011 me. Why dost thou now forsake me? Have I displeased thee l But l dare not hope to return, he- eanse fair Calypso watches me as an eagle watehes its prey: and besides, to cross this great gulf ot' sea, so dread and ditfih enlt. which not even the gallant ships of Zeus pass over, would law beyond the powers of man, Yea, no mortal, unless helped by the gods, could cross the misty deep without being lost. Oh, why did l not perish as did my men? for almost anything would be better than life on this lovely NP, SlU'l'0llIltlPtl by these nnhar- vested seas. And so, day after day, did the goodly Odysseus lament and weep, while his life was slowly ehbiug away. Ruth Rosengren, R. 232. ODYSSEUS LAMENTS HlS TIVITY. Dawn, the rosy Hngered arosog and Odysseus, so ready at need, got himself up: yea. only to behold fair Calypso, ever holding him prisoner within the isle, Ogygia. bounded by the wet ways. Odysseus. once of the hardy heart. now spent with sorrowingi. sat himself down by the shore : and behold Athene sent him CA P- wingod thoughts of home. even ot' fair lthaea wherein he once dwelt and held strong sway. But alas! His sore heart eried out, and bitter tears shone in his eyes. H0 Zeus, mighty god of heaven and earth, hearken ye unto me. long kept in bitter agony! What hath befallen those of mine heart? Hath Penelope, constant and true. mayhap taken unto her some wooer as her lord 1' Hath 'l'elemachus, whom l left when he was Init a babe. eome to harm? 't 0 Athene, onee guardian of my soul. hast thou also deserted me in my hour of need? Thou. goddess ot' all wisdom. wilt thou not send me thoughts wherewith to make headway, that l may return to Itha- ea and save my substance? For a strange voiee doth prom-laim evil unto me, yea, evil happenings at my hearth. Surely. ye gods. have I not sntfered long and hard? 'iFair Palypso. hast thou no heart wherein to pity me, that thou dost hold me captive far from those of my blood if Thou art a goddess, yea, of surpassing beauty. Wilt thou not beseech the gods to help me? Thy smiles make me not happy, eause me not to forget. Ult were far better had T fallen a hero before the walls of Troy than here to perish in despair. All have forgotten Odysseus, son of Laertes, even Penelope lnayhap. O wretched man. would that death would hold me, yea forever. Thus did the divine Odysseus lament. yea even until Dawn again shone forth. Eleanor B. Stork, R. 232.

'Flu-re are some people who. because they are not interested in domestic St'lt'llI't'. will doubt that there is joy in ht-ating eggs, It is because they have never tried it and tllerefore know noth- ing about it. In the tirst plare. there is a et-I-tain satisfaction in knowing bow to begin. One takes the eggs and breaks them into a deep bowl, being liartitzularly 1-art-t'nl in separating the white from the yolk. Having pertorlned this feat. the next stop is eonlparatively simple. A good beater is chosen. lt must be one that eau bt- relied upon lint to slip and tip tho bowl over. Plat-ing it firmly in the bowl, begin slowly to turn it. At first, little spattt-rings fig' about. whit-h is rather dis- t-outferting. but by being patient. one is soon rewarded with the sight ot' little bubbles forming in the albulnen. Pres- ently the bubbles begin to grow larger and larger and larger. until from excite- lllt'lIi and the desire to see the lluliiness lhrnt. one turns the beater more and more quickly. Around and around it goes. the white in the howl growing higher and higher. .Xt last. with a tinal flourish one gives the beater another twist, knocks it on the edge ot' the bowl and looks upon his work with approval. It surely men- sures up to the desired standard. for it rises stitily and is as white as snow. How proud one feels to know that something lu- has tried to do has turned out snreess- fullyl Lueille Morley. R-. 204. lll'l't71IlNG ON MACHINES.

The name ot' our camp is 0walssa. which in English means Bluebird. I thlnk It is n very appropriate name, because the blueblrtl stands for liapnlness. and our club eer- taluly is happy. ' The first rank a Camp Fire Girl aspires to Is that of a Wood Gatherer. To attain this rank she must have chosen an Indian name which means something to her. alan- ned a symbol from this name, and woven that symbol into a head headband. I chose Wewasta for my Indian name. which means the evening star. I am working my sym- bol. a white star. into a background of blue. The maln object of this organization is to give back to the girl ot' the present day the advantages of using her lma:inatlon-plan- ning thlngs for herself. as the Indian girl had to hundreds of years ago. We have followed this idea out by maklng our own head looms, which could have been pur- chased for a small sum with less trouble than some ot' us had. I believe I had the worst trouble of all. First, my loom was too small: then when I made another the nails were too close together, and, last but not least, when that was remedied the strings broke. By this time I was discour- aged. but our guardian told me to stick to tt, and I did. After atrlnzing it three times, I was well repaid, for I had a strong loom. easy to work un. We have gone on three hikes cover-Ins seventeen miles. The hrst was a Fox and Goose Chase. Four geese started out, walk- lug in and out the streets. turning at al- most every corner, hut marking an arrow on the sidewalk with chalk so that the Foxes. who started twenty minutes later. could follow the trail. The geese were eanght. three miles north on the lake shore. After much pleading with the hungry foxes to spare our lives. we came hack to our club room tuzether. We had such a good tlme on this hike that we're all looking forward to the time when we can start ont early In Forty-T-u'o THE FORUM the morning and cook our luuch over a camp llre. I hope you are not confined to the wheel chair again this winter. If you are, you will have plenty of time to work on your embroidery.

Sho told our whole class about you und Jacob Stclu, and she said that there are not many girls of your age at the home and that sometimes you are lonely. Perhaps if I told you about my experience with a poor family ut Christmas time lt would amuse you. We collected all sorts of food, and also money. The food we were to give to the family for future use, but with the money we bought a basket with the Chrlstmas dinner ln it and a Christmas tree. We started on our trlp right after school. When we reached our destination we climbed out ol' the automobile which we had come in, and round our way up a dark night of stairs and knocked on the door. It was opened by a little barefoot glrl. Her brother and sister were barefoot, too, and us thcre was no tire you can lmaglnc how cold they were. We sent them out ot the room while we trimmed thc tree. Tlicn we called them in and gave them the presents some of the pupils had brought, and they were very happy. In the midst ot' this ex- citement the mother came ln, and when she saw all the food she was very happy ton. Cordially yours. Kathryn Montgomery. L xx. ,iq - ld, S. fri ' A 7?:l5i'f -!

Phe Mikado. marks another triumph for the Musical department of Seun, une der the leadership of Mr. Ira Hamilton. Mr. Hamilton and Miss Smith, the capa- hle supervisors of thc dramatic end of the undertaking, gave their untiring ef- forts for the ten weeks preceding Decem- ber seventeenth toward making this one oi' the higgest things Senn has aceom- plished thus t'ar in its splendid history. The eo-operation of the pupils and teaehers of many of the departments of the school was remarkable and will set a precedent for future entertainments. The art classes under the direction ol' Miss Boom, Miss Hatch and Miss Doniat, l'ui'- nished the artistic posters which so well advertised the opera throughout the sehool. and which were also exhibited in the foyer of the Assembly hall on the af- ternoon and evening of the perl'ormanee. The art department took charge of the scenery and the etfeet aehieverl was heau- tiful. Fuji-Yama. the holy mountain of Japan, was visihle in the distance through a mist of clouds. and formed the main background for the tiowei'-tilled gardens of the Lord High Exeeutioner. lt is interesting to know that all thc set-uery had to he sprayed with a ehenii- cal preparation in order to make it fire- proof. The wood working classes contrihnted the frames for the screens, and the plat- form and stairs at the hack of the stage were made under the direction of Mr. Drucek, Miss Sedgwick had charge of thc buying of material for the costumes ol' the chorus, while the sewing elasses. with the help oi Mrs. Hall. cut out all the kiinonos. In choosing the colors for the ..v kinionos and girdles a very attraetive color scheme was carried out. whit-h went far toward enhancing the beauty ot the seenes. On the linal night every performer was keyed up to the highest pitch. Carl Sr-hutx, as Koko. the Lord High Execu- tioner. played his part pc-rt'eetly and will long he renionihered for his entertaining t'aeial expressions and his clever and ori- ginal rendition of The Flowers That Bloom in the Spring-Tra .lia l NVe liked you, Carl. even though you may have hurt the pride of some of ns in your song. '4They Never Will Be Missed. Ilelen Rinehart as Yum-Yum fultilled all expectations with both her voice and at-ting. She sang her solo well. and the trios with the other two little maids from school . Leone Riley as Peep Bo and Fay Blum as Pitti-Sing were espe- cially good. All three were pretty to look upon although there isa rumor that they olijeeted strenuously to wearing their Japanese wigs. Pooh liah, George Vau- pel. wore a perpetual frown. which l think resulted from having so many titles and so much family pride. hut Koko used this fact to advantage when he wished witnesses to the execution of Nauki-Poo. Ransom Seherman. as Nauki-Poo, and Melville Sweet as Pish Tush lioth took their parts well. The love scene between Ylllll-XVII!!! and Nanki-Poo was especially entertaining. The Mikado.

Un Tuesday. lleeeniher twenty-tirst. a group ol' Sennites went down to the Northwestern settlement to help the ehil- dren of that district have a Merry Christmas. We went down in several divisions. Our division was entertained hy mandolin musie all the way down. When we arrived. the stage was all tixed l'or our little play. with all the randy and dolls and stoekings ready for distribu- tion. When the last ones eame the at-tors got into their eostmnes. and our audieuee was ealled down. The room was i'ull. First three boys gave an aerobatie elown stunt: then we gave a shortened version ai' The Sleeping Beauty in l'nll eos- txnne. and with all the stage property proeurable, even to a spinning wheel. 'l'he ehildren seemed to enjoy it very nnieh. The refreshments were not ready yet. so Erie -lones and Paul t'orrubia gave an impromptu vocal and mandolin duel. When they ran out ol' songs the eurtain was hastily drawn before there was any t'llllltll'l'tlSSlllElli, and all was well. Then we helped serve eaeh person with eoeoa and eookies. XVhen they had all had some. we served ourselves in the kitehen while Mr. and Mrs. Sauty helped distribute the presents to the ehildren. We all went homo on the car together, and again we had our wandering min- strels with us. Harriet Fern, Room 237.

Girls' Qtblettns I might say He who laughs last, laughs best in discussing the Senior- -lunior game, only the Seniors didn'l do nineh laughing bc.foreh:unl. so that is hardly true. There was a large erowd out for the tinals of the interelass basket- ball series, and they eertninly saw a tiue game. Everything was fair and square aml the two teams were so evenly matched that it was a very interesting game to watch. The Juniors are espe- eially to be eomnu-nded when one eon- siders the improvement they have made, t'ompetitors for positions made the .lun- ior team and the laek of it ruined the Senior team, At the Pllti of the tirst half the seore was 7-ti in favor of the Seniors. The tinal score was ll-12. as you all know, in favor of the Juniors. l'lvery one played splendidly, aml on no one player rests either the defeat or the vie- tory. The Seniors have every eause to thank Ruth Rilehie for her faithfulness in coming out to praetire and are very glad she had au opportunity to play in the finals. although they greatly regret- ted that Ruth Gilmore was unable to play heeause o l' her Mikado work. There is one player on the Junior team whose playing was espeeinlly tine. Naney Lo- rentz is undoubtedly the best side eenter Semi has had so far. l mention her playing partieularly because this is her tirst year on the team. and she is the only one with whom you are unfmniliar. Al- though it was a great disappointment to the Seniors, they sincerely congratulate the Juniors on their fine team. and wish them the same sueeess next year. They deserve it.

Later the Fresh- men played np so strongly that it seemed advisable to shift the line a little, putting in a larger girl. Ruth ltitehie-, as guard, and having Mabel May take her place at renter. The l reslunen also made a ehange. putting Virginia Morely in Vir- ginia Coleman's place. The tinal seore was 33-ll in favor of the Seniors. JUN!OR-S01'llOMOR1'I.

They had subs in, and although was a walk-over they all played well. it for the Sophomores. 'ixlll' l reslnnan team had many rooters though. who eneour- aged the players to do their best.
