PARKE, M. A. Grove City College. SUPERINTENDENT or THE SCuoo1,s. From the first of his tive years connection with the Sewickley Schools, Mr. Parke has held the respect of both the faculty and the student body. Through his participation in their dis-- eussions the Hi-Y boys have found in him a valued friend and leader. His geniality and understanding sense of humor have endeared M-r. Parke to all. Among' the many traits which we so admire in him, the most outstanding is his earnest and unfailing interest in the welfare of the school in general, in the favorable outcome of our games, a.nd in the success of all we undertake. LESTER II. CONWAY, B. S. Vtfestminster. PRINCIPAL or HIGH SCHOOL. As we have our all-around student so do we have our all-around teacher-one who is a friend and comrade to the students and yet maintains a dignity and austerity worthy of his position. Mr. Conway is very popular, especially among our Junior High School pupils because of his coaching their successful basketball team this season. This year, he has concentrated a lot of his time and energy in establishing a Student Council, and we appreciate the trust in us, which he thus implies. Vile feel sure that all the Alumni regard and will continue to look back upon Mr. Conway as the best and truest friend Q' ,, of their student days. ff .4 1 Y- .1 ' '. lp 1 A v' inns. Rnom ii.

In spite of the worry and trouble they cause her, we do not believe she could get along' without 'ther boys. Although her efforts to guide us arifzht may not now be fully appreciated, we have proof that they soon will be. For do not a large crowd of her former t'ehildren eoinc back every vaca- tion to see her? Her devotion wins the loyal regard and friendship of all. Niue i:-li: JE ...E E EL E N. G. Parke L. H.

A small boy, yes -but oh, can he run? and jump? John always shines at the track meets. Ile won the wrestling championship in the one hundred eight pound class in New Castle this spring. Perhaps he excels in this pastime because of his practice in wrestling with Chemistry. PAUL BARBER. Here is a budding young Barrymore. Anyone who has seen Paul act knows where his talent lies. Baseball, basket- ball. and tennis teams will all lose a val- uable member with his graduation. Vile will not be surprised if Paul becomes the President of the United States, since he now already has been president of the Senior Class, of the Hi-Y, and the Stu- dent Council. The girls all admire him. but Paul seems to like one in particular! GEORGE BASSETT. Our George Bassett is a very different sort of lad from the Georgie Bassett in Tarkingtonys Penrod. In the first place our George comes from Fair Oaksg that should be enough to convince anyoncf His reputation as a hunter is wide- spread, and it is said that he seldom misses his mark. Here we know him as a lusty singer, a red head, and a base- ball player. ROSEMARY P. BISHOP. Another of our Marathon racers is 'ARosie. Every morning she competes with the tardy bell-ask her who often wins. 'tRosiel' is an active member of the group of perpetual gigglers. Vllhen she gets started, the rest of us usually follow. LOIS E. BRADLEY. Behold our prima donna! Any time singing is in demand, we call on Lois. She takes part in many activities, one of which is the Senior Class basketball team. Her tongue is the nearest thing to perpetual motion that we know. She is also one of the red heads of the Senior Class. EI J OHN D. l3llTlllflR. John was a faithful woiker on the gridiron this year. and di his share towards making the seasoi a success. He is a prominent member f the Vom- munity HY, and is noted f r his co-op- eration. ANN-B LA lR CAMP SELL Behold our worthy art editor! NVe are indeed fortunate to have on our staff anyone as accomplished as is Abic.', With her bright-colored smocks,she lends a, very artistic air to the school. Allie' always turns out to the foot-ball games all dressed up in red and blue, and cheers as loudly as anyone. She has chosen art as her vocation, and we certainly wish her all success. ll ELEN LOUISE CHA MISERS. Helen Louise is quite a musical lass. In fact she has chosen music as her voca- tion in life. Another way in which Helen shines is in arguing. It takes sound reasoning and a lot of oiliort to persuade her to change her mind. That 's a good trait, and if she sticks to every- thing the way she docs to her opinions she will make a success of all she under- takes. ROBl'lR'l' CONNELLY. The t'IIero of the Senior Class is Bob. There seems to bc some mystery concerning his nickname Hero.'l but it certainly applies to him. Hob has lots of pep and certainly can keep things going. VVhen he gets started, watch out. In short he's the life of the party. CHARLES RIUIIMOND DAY, JR. Daisy naturally is the Senior Class flower. True to his name he is to be seen everywhere and is in everything. As Sports writer for the Oracle, manager of the track team, villain in 'tThe Man in the Bowler Hatf' chairman of Usher squad, he has shown that he can lay aside his languid ways once in a while. In the spring this young ma.n's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of-baseball! Fifteen ,Jul . f 'E. Sixteen CYNTHIA DEAN . Here is one of the reasons why ':Gen- tlemen prefer Blondes. She has the most contagious laugh, and it is always in evidence. Cy is quite an actress. as is evidenced by her work in Clara ence, but she comes down out of the clouds once in a while to manage the Girls' Basketball team. School work has never given her any particular trouble. Last year she Won the second prize in the Junior Essay contest. Short but sweet tits 'fCy perfectly. NVILLIAM deB. DUNCAN. Pretzel is noted for so many things it is hard to find a starting place -an athletic hero, an actor, a noted author of short poems, and last but not least, Editor of this superior publication. Hljretzell' greatly endangered his life about the middle of the year, when he personally insulted a noted member of the Sophomore class. Only the mag' nanimity of the offended one saved him. He will be remembered in S. H. S. as the t'Dear Departed. GEORGENA H. ECKARD. t'George is one of our Haysville las- sies, and possesses an enviable eharm and poise. There is a rumor about George having lost her heart, and, when she gazes out of the window with that well- known dreamy expression, we are led to believe it. NVe saw some of her winning ways last year in Adam and l'lva..', She is a 'Faithful attendant at the Girl Reserves' meetings. ANNA MARIE EGLER. Anna is one of our curly heads. She is quite musicalg it is rumored that her chief diversion is playing the vietrola. Yes, and that queer little throaty chuckle you hear so often belongs to Anna. They say she is a book-worm, but that doesn't seem to take all her spare time. MARY BEATRICE EGLER. Yes, that girl with the little bobbing curls is Beatrix. Her hair is the envy of every one who is struggling to grow some. Bee likes a good time and seems to manage to find one anywhere and everywhere. Her sunny disposition Wins her many friends. It is rumored Bee lost her heart when a certain dark haired Senior left us. L. . I +5 , :EE FRANK E. FICKINGER, JR. Fickie', is one of the helpful type, willing to do what is needed. His busi- ness ability has twice been shown in his work as baseball manager. Deliberate in speech and action, friendly with everybody. is Frank. He also is a vio- linist. A true friend to all, it is rumored. Fra.uk's heart has gone down the usual lane. HOMER FISHER. Homer is an efficient member of Stu- dent Council and also a member of the High School Orchestra. All know him as a quiet, reserved student. Homer has many friends. Did you ever hear his hearty laugh? He is training for sue- cess in the business world. HOXVARD FOHT. Fohtie is renowned for his activi- ties--with track and football as his specialties. Yes, he is our football hero. You ought to see him run for a touch down! Not the least of his attractions is his jolly smile. Is it any wonder that he is so popular and has so many friends? ALICE NEDA HALLAM. Hero is one of our bright students from Fair Oaks. Although Alice has many friends, We believe her best friends are books. However, she does not neglect her activities since she is present at nearly all school affairs and is a well liked member of the Girl Reserves. SUSAN E. HA MILTON. Dear, Hfun-lovin' 'Suel' Just how many hearts has she captured with her brown eyes? 'tSuel' is an actress of no mean ability as she proved in last year 's play, 'KAdam and Eva. She has many friends due to her good natured dispo- sition and willingness to do a thing. Seveute Y w F- J' Y ATT:-' 7 W Y E V 7 t Ei ghteeu LL MARCEL L. IIEGERT. See that young gentleman tix his hair, straighten his tie, and glance at the girls? Girls are Marcel's specialty. llis most serious interest is music. XVhat would the orchestra do without Marcel to strum the banjo, or play the viola? He is well liked -because he is such a cheerful soul, always wearing a happy grin. ELSIE M. KEXNING. One of our jolly girls is Elsie. She is seldom seen without a smile on her face. NVhen we hear some one laughing in the hall, we can be reasonably sure it is Elsie. To hear her when she has the giggles is worth the price of admission. XVe have known her to keep it up for a whole afternoon. She will soon be think- ing about housework. To Elsie goes the Lhonor of being the greatest seller of Benefit tickets in our class. AUDREY G. JABHSON. Did you ever see her roll those eyes? Wie simply couldn't have had our French class this year without Audrey's remarks and translations. If you find a tablet with a perfectly marvelous hero drawn on the back, you may feel sure that it belongs to Audrey. ALBERT JANOSIK. Al was on the football squad, which means he can use his head and likes hard Work. These qualities he displays in his school work, too. It is quite usual to see Albert surrounded by a crowd, clamoring for help in Latin or Physics. If he has any special interest in the opposite sex he keeps it hidden, and his friends are loyal and won't tell on him. So we can only surmise. LOUIS L. HUNT. Louis is one of our bright boys-Mr. Stewart's right hand man. When any thing out of the ordinary is going on, our Bus is right in the midst of it, often the cause of it. He is a football and a baseball star. and an active mem- ber of the Alert Club. Everyone likes f'Bus. Ask Nancy about his dominat- ing interest. E-'rt L e ,L :PE JACOB 'l'. LAUF. One of our most efficient tratiic regu- lators is Jacob. He is always on the job and keeps things moving. Jacob has not been with us very long, but those who study Virgil with him know that his translations are unique, to say the least. He is a good sport, though, and doesn't mind a little kidding. LLOYD RUSSELL LUCAS Paddy is the curly headed Adonis of the Senior Class. Do the girls admire his golden locks? Ask them! He is so full of life and school spirit, o11e could not wish for a better fellow. Russell is always found with a gang of boys and is a member of the illustrious Alert Club. DORIS MATHER. 'tD0rrie is alwa.ys ready to laugh and have a good time. She takes part in many activities, although she has her serious moments as shown in her work as Vice President of the Girl Reserves. Doris has a fine personality, so it is no wonder she has many friends. SARA L. Al CCULLOUGH'. Pretty, peppy, and popular, Sally has captured many a heart. She is the belle of our Senior class. And can she play basketball! NVe'll all vouch for her. when it comes to playing side center on the varsity. She is our social chairman this year and deserves credit for the way she puts the social events across. JOHN A RTIIUR McDONALD. When Mr. Conway says, Arthur lilc- Donald has an announcement to make, we all sit up and take notice for 'tArt is famous for his clever extemporaneous speeches. As football captain this year he has shown what can be accomplished by clean playing and good sportsman- ship. Vtfhen it comes to being a fat lady in a circus, no one can surpass Art Oh, his talents are many and varied! i Nineteen Twenty M-ARY ELEANOR McPHERSON. The Senior class is noted for its red heads and Eleanor is among them. Shc carries it further by matching her hair with her eyes. M-any a point was added to the score of the Senior basketball team by her unerring shot. They say Eleanor likes out of town boys with cars. Evi- dently she doesn't care for walking. MARY ELIZABETH McPHERSON Mary Elizabeth is a member of the chapel squad, which is a section of stu- dent council. She is also a member of the Senior class basketball team. Dancing and giggling are her favorite attractions and distractions. EDNA MAERRIMAN. Edna is another commercial pupil. One of the first accidents in the new building was her helping to spill ink on the corridor floor. Luckily, the janitor could remove it. Her pastimes arc comb- ing hor hair and riding the train between Haysville and Sewickley. HILDA AMY MILLER. Those who sit near her in chapel know Hilda has a good voice, but she never gave the Glee Club a chance to find it out. Never hide your light under a bushel, Hilda. Hilda came to us from Cory last year, and she seems to keep in close touch still with everything that goes on over there. Perhaps she has a special interest over therc. Vife wouldn't bc surprised. EDITH MOULD. Although 4'Mouldy has red hair, it doesn't affect her temper in the least. She was president of the Girl Reserves and captain of the basketball team and showed her ability to work and play. Edith was also a member of Student Council. 1311 :FE ROBERT H. NAUM-AN. Bob certainly was kept busy dur- ing football season because he was mau- ager of the team. He is a popular mem' ber of the renowned Alert Club. He must be good in math, for Professor Conway nicknamed him Trigonometry Naumanf' UBob', is known among the girls for his wise cracks in ehemistry and good dancing. MARGARET R. NE ALE. These Neale twins! No one can ever tell them apart. They can trade places when it suits them and we would never suspect it. Margaret is a first rate sten- ographer and helped type this book. She likes pets. She and her sister played guard on the 'Senior class basketball team. Margaret types Miss Hubbell's lesson plans. MARJORIE R. NEALE. Here's the other twin! Marjorie shared with her sister the task of typing the Sewihi. Her fingers are as nimble on the piano as on the typewriter as several chapel performances have shown. Marjorie types all Mrs. Peterson's lesson plans, but she Will never tell any plead- ing Latin student when the next test will be. She hasn't been absent nor tardy for seven consecutive years. Fine record, Marjorie. NELLIE M. O 'CONNOR. Nellie is our typical Irish lass-as pretty as they make them. She is the perfect lady-never loud and boisterous, always behaving in a manner befitting' her station as Senior. But don't let that deceive you. Our Nellie is not all dignityg her Irish wit will out. VVhen you see a merry twinkle in her eyes. and a dimple come and go in her oheeek you may know that somethings astir. CHARLES NV. RITCHEY. All the way from Glenfield comes our Charles. These out-of-town boys usually keep their escapades out of sehool, but every once in a while we hear things. He has been a valuable addition to our stage guild. 17 2 X fx ,fifffl T tr , l l Q: 125' L E 'ent yt wo l MALCOLM DeVV. ROE. What would we do without '4BIaeky to make us laugh in Latin? Mrs. Peter-- son thinks he looks more like the golden- haired Aeneas than anyone else in our class. Maeky is taking a course in memory training which we hope will help him save the shoe-leather he uses run- ning to the offices for lost books. Happy-- go-lueky, ever busy with his pictures, is Malcolm. VERNER ROXVLEY. 'fVVant to argue? That is Bub- bles's motto. Anytime you feel like having a, heated argument over anything at all, page Bubbles In athletics, although he has been here but one year, he has already distinguished himself. He lately expressed a desire to be a post graduate next year. BETTY SANDS. If you want to read something excep- tionally good, ask Betty for one of her short stories or poems. You will surely find her an authoress of note. As though this accomplishment were not enough, Betty is also on the girls' basketball squad. JOHN LIVINGSTON STEXVART. Another Senior musician is YVho' Dat. Famous for his performances on the mouth organ, he displayed further talent as a member of the Senior quintet. It 's a good thing John has a sturdy sense of humor, because many a joke has been pulled on him by his friends. Curly', has a crowning glory that is a source of envy for all the girls. JOSEPH TAYLOR. '4Joe distinguished himself this year as an actor in the Dear Departed. It is fortunate for him that he sits near the door, as he is another one of those Seniors who come racing in at the last minute, Joe is an artist when it comes to using paints. JACK A. NVARNER. Jack is one of the popular Alerts Some people think Jack is quiet, but they haven't been near him when he starts teasing and joking. Unfortunately we cannot get even with him as he doesn't seem to like many girls. We don 't know whether that is true or not, but he keeps us guessing. ELEANORE O. WATSON '4Sonny is sunny, as one looks at her twinkling blue eyes and mischievous smile will tell. This quality makes her a champion social leader. When MSonny gets into her swing on the bas- ketball floor or on the tennis court, there isn't anyone in the valley who can handle her. She always has a keen desire to beat Ben Avon. VICTORIA deQ. WEHRUM. 'tTorrie is our high school musician. This distinguished artist has an orches- tra of her own and say, did you ever try to stand still While they play? A'Pep is Torrie's middle name, and fairly radiates from her wherever she goes. Every day, Torrie walks to school by the light of the Moon. HARRY S. NVEISS. A chemist of astounding originality is Hllloonf' His experiments are of great interest to himself, at least. If there's any mischief brewing, HM-oon is sure to be in the midst of it. As cheer-leader this year, hc made the roof shake many times with cheers. Moon likes music too- the Torrie -ador song seems to he his favorite. MARGARET YOUNG. Some tired business man of the future is going to have Margaret for a good stenographer. All school games and activities find her an ardent rooter. She spends most of her time riding the train between Haysville and Sewickley. L l EL: IT' h Cl8.SS Poem A spry young fellow is Charles Day Who always aets as on a stage. He's 'happy both at work or play And keeps up with the sporting page. And new the story ls to be told Of one who won athletie fame. Here's our true hearted Ediith Mould Who always is the same.

R. li. PETERSON L. H. CONYVAY Thirty 1, i it I' rr. .L Senior Class History At Commencement time we find ourselves looking backwards over four years of high school life which bring a host of memories, a recollection of days spent in goodly fellowship with incidents of happiness or vexation, days that were filled with effort and pleasure. NVe remember our tirst year in the high school, how we came in so timidlyg half dejected because we felt overburdened by the dignity of high school fresh- meng half elated because we knew we were entering a. 11cw life. We looked a.nd acted just as all t'freshies should, but determinedly we undertook to make our- selves a definite part of the school. YVQ elected otiieers, steady and sureg had our athletes, sturdy and strong, enjoyed our social functions, lively and loudg sold tickets so enthusiastically that the upper classmen had to recognize us as able and devoted. XVe supported the baseball team by securing season tickets and attending all the games. It is with pleasure that we remember the pep and school spirit which was prevalent in that iirst year of high school life. Since that time, four years ago, our interests have been varied and wide. As Sophomores it was realized that our class was a distinctive part of the school, envied and admired by all the other classes. It can be said we never failed to put anything across. It was no wonder our Junior year was tilled with enthusiasm and whole- hcarted happiness for the members of the class were in one reporting room for the first time since we had entered high school. lndividuality. the chief char- acteristic of our class since our freshman days, was further stressed in our third year. In each sport, in dramaties, in social affairs, in scholastic work we have had leaders. Many participated in all the activities, but due to the pronounced individuality of our class members there was always some outstanding member. In baseball. for instance, we have had XVilliam 'Duncan as our able and excellent pitcher. However, our success would not have been assured had it 11ot been for Paul Barber, Louis Hunt, Stanley Challis, and George Bassett. Ytle well remember how our fellows helped to win the championship of the North Boroughs League and what success was theirs this year. ln basketball, Paul Barber, Donald Nibert, and NVilliam Duncan starred for the boys, Barber had the honor of being captain of the team his Junior and Senior years. Our football letter men were Howard Foht, NVilliam Duncan, Louis Hunt, Donald Nibert. John Lee and Arthur McDonald who was captain of the 1926-27 team, VVitl1 due respect and admiration to the others, Foht was the outstanding member of the squad. NVe even had track team representatives This line of sport was quite new in High School but we had four worthy participants in J ohn Alexander. Albert Janosik, Arthur McDonald and Howard Foht. each a star in a different way. 'l'hose receiving letters in Girls' Basketball were Flleanore NVatson, Edith Mould, captain of the team of '26 and '27, Sara McCullough, and Frances Mcllvain. Our class never had many social affairs, but when we gave our Junior Prom we certainly made up for the lack of social functions. Juniors and Seniors agreed that it was a perfect success. Anxiously we have waited for Commencement time, and it is with pride that we look back over our High School days. XVith the experience gained in our four high school years to build upon, we, the Class of 1927, look eagerly toward the future and what it holds for us. G. H. Pl.

The following officers were duly elected: President, Robert Crutchfield, Vice President, XVilliam Fader, Secretary, Martha Lowery, Treasurer, Percy Jones. life took an aetive interest in school affairs. Three of our classmates received letters: Stanley Cook for football and basket ball, Joseph Flora for football and Jean Mould for basket ball. In many other ways we gained the reputation of a valuable Freshman Class. XVith newly acquired dignity we began our Sophomore year September, 1925. Having lost several members, our class was somewhat smaller, but this did not hinder those remaining from making our 's an outstanding class. XVe continued to provide valuable athletic material, several members were on the varsity team. The following officers were elected: President, Wtilliam Fader 5 Vice Presi- dent, Jean Mould, Secretary, Susan Hamilton, Treasurer, George Garrett. Vkiithin the grandeur of our new lligh School, we began our Junior year, September, 1926. Now don it blame us if we acted like freshmen the first few days, as our Lords fthe Seniorsj acted as much so. Our officers were elected, and added to these class representatives, were those who act on the Student Council. New members have joined us. one of whom is our football Captain-elect, Kenneth Johns. Another, who has made honor for our group is James Carson, our 'tOrator, the answer to the silver t'Loving Cup placed in the hall. VVith the old varsity men and those who made the teams this year. we may indeed feel elated for many owners of the coveted S are claimed by our class. Our ability as social leaders was also shown by the various socials we held for our class and the most outstanding, our Junior Prom, which our guests, the Seniors, declared to be the best ever. Having gone so successfully through the past three years we have but one year remaining in which we have resolved to make our class one of the most notable Senior classes S. H. S. has ever graduated.

NVe started at once to do our duty to our school. We ranked high in our studies and received many awards. Highest of these was the winning of third place in the General Science Section of the Pitt Scholastic Contest by Charlotte Herz. Other prize winners were Margaret Hennessy, Ethel Vinall. Letters for sports were won by James Porter, Stanley Cook, and James Lee in football and by James Porter and Stanley Cook for basket ball. Vile are now hardworking Sophomores. striving to do our very best- some- times suceeeding, often failing, but always trying. Our officers are: President, Anthony Henrieig Vice President, John Mclillwaing Secretary, Al. Czillingerg Treasurer, Stanley Cook. This year in the Pitt Scholastic Contest, Char- lotte Herz received honorable mention in Latin. Anthony Hcnrici, our class president, received first prize in the Scholastic Contest for his essay on Stephane Mallarme. VVe have, we are proud to say, a most wonderful selection of athletes: James Porter, Stanley Cook, and James McCracken as football starsg in basket ball we have Stanley Cook, a champion player, and James Porter, one ot' the best. James Porter is also manager of the tennis team, and William Boyd is on the baseball team for this year.

Mr. Conway, as Master of Ceremonies, directed us to our respective rooms. After the commotion had subsided, we were much elated over instructions to report to Assembly Hall. As we congregated there with the sagacious Seniors, the jubilant Juniors, and the sophisticated Sophomores, we felt very important indeed-until Mr. Conway had finished reading four and one-half pages of Rules of Conduct. Overcome by his dire threats against one so bold as to violate any one of these rules, we tiled out, a very subdued group of Freshmen. Our year is nearing a close, and we still number one hundred and forty-two strong. Under the able leadership of James lVilhelmy, President, Herman Beck. Vice President, and Frank Cook, Secretary, we look forward to a glorious finish. In scholarship, none can dispute the fact that we are the most brilliant Freshmen that have been in this building, and, with the cooperation of our splendid faculty, we expect to maintain this record throughout our high school career. In athletics we have brought honor to our coaches, Miss Copeland, M-r. Hood, and Mr. Gray. Our girls' and boys' basket-ball teams have never been defeated. In football three of our classmates, Bertil Neely, James Lee, and Robert Ham- ilton, reeeived their letters, and James Wilhelmy, his numeral. In the arts Freshmen are represented by a mixed Glee Club and an orches- tra under the inspiring and enthusiastic leadership of Miss Emily Stewart and and Mr. McLuckie. In domestic science several of our classmates have won sew- ing prizes much to the pleasure of our excellent supervisor, Miss Rhea Stewart. Through the perseverance of Miss Kiskaddon, Mr. Gray, and Mr. Hood, we can now speak fluently in terms of ac-y-2, and through the patient cajoling of Mrs. Peterson we are able to translate: Gallia est omnis divisa in partes tres. Our Freshmen fears were without foundation, We have found, and this year will be recalled as one of good comradeship and pleasant memories. B. M. '30.

To stand upon your sandy beach and hear the breakers roar Makes the very truest thoughts I have, like silver swallows soar. The vast expanse of water with its mysteries way down deep, Leaves a lasting, fadeless picture, that my mind is fain to keep. And then, when, on your quiet days, of festive sports I tire, The ripples murmuring o'er your calm. sound like Apollo's lyre. XVhere have you been? Where do you go? XVhat wonderful things have you seen? Have you looked on hills that are white with snow Have your waves lapped a valley green? Each little wave has a story to tell, A tale that is full of romance, A tale that it eagerly tries to repeat, 'While the sun makes it sparkle and dance. Oh, life on your shore can never be dull, Your moods never fail to bring peace, And God's love seems to eome very elose to the earth, And the world 's fretful problems all cease. XVhen the twilight's bells sound, and the sun is going down, To the horizon's vast rim far away Streams a path of pure gold, o'er which we are told Go our dreams of this fair summer day. Then the waves grow quite still. and the wind on the hill Has died down to worship the night, NVhile the stars stud the sky, and the moon circling high Floods the earth with her magical light.

'27, Forty-eight Et - :Ei B' 'IE ACTIVITIES E1 FE TQ Student Council About the third week in September, both the Senior and Junior High Schools elected representatives from their groups for the Student Council. In the Senior High Student Council, Paul Barber was the president, Weston Clay, vice-president, and Susan Hamilton, secretary. Other members of the council were Edith Mould, Arthur McDonald, Jean Mould, Howard Clay, Anthony Henrici and George Kuipers. Robert Hamilton, the president of the Junior High Council, was also a mem- ber of the Senior Council. Other members of the Junior Council were vice- president, Leo Kindsvatter, secretary, Frederick lllclllillen, James VVilhelmy, Frank Cook, VVilliam VVharton, Francis Challis, Al Gray, Mary Thornc NVhite, and Gretchen Little. The Senior Council did not hold regular meetings, in fact, did not really get on the job until the middle of the year. Then, regular meetings were held every other VVednesday and things were livelier. Traffic, sanitation, lunch-room, usher, and assembly squads were created and they worked hard. As for the Junior Council, o11e can say more. Their members got busy from the very first, squads were appointed, cases were brought before them, and things went along smoothly from the beginning. As a whole, the Student Council plan in Sewiekley High School has succeeded fairly well. Such a plan is hard to introduce in any high school and it will probably be another year before the whole student body realizes its good qualities. However, the members of both Councils have worked hard and have done their best to put the idea across in Sewickley High and they deserve credit for doing so well. Forty-nine .F ,EL E The Latin Circle This year the Latin Circle. with a larger membership than ever before, was able to give some very interesting and worthwhile programs. At the first meet- ing the following officers were elected: Consuls-to preside alternately-Vililliam Fader and NN'illiam Duncang Seriba, Lois Bradley. The chief aim of the Latin Circle is to promote an understanding of Roman life which will make Latin less a dead language. This was accomplished by talks on Roman customs, holidays. and literature. The Sophomores proved that Mother Goose lived in Rome long ago by reciting some of her rhymes in Latin. Another unusual feature was a dance, in costume, describing a scene at a spring. lt was very well given and enthusiastically encored. One of the most interesting programs of the year was a series of pictures of scenes from Virgil and concerning the Rome of today. The explanations were given by Elsie Rapp. As a climax to a successful year, the Circle gave a farewell party to the Seniors in the gym. Refreshments were served and danc- ing and games made the hour pass quickly. As a whole. the Latin Circle has never been so enjoyable or profitable before, and a great deal of credit is due Mrs. Peterson for her unfailing efforts to plan meetings of general interest. L. E. B.

Meetings took place the third Monday of every month, in Room 104, during the activities period. At the first meeting thc election of officers took place. The results were: President, Ralph MeClesterg Vice President, Betty Bishop, Secretary, John Stewart. As funds were not necessary, no treasurer was appointed. A committee was elected to draw up a constitution. which at the following meeting was read and accepted by the members of the club. The meetings were brought to order by the president. The secretary then read the minutes. lf any business was to be brought up before the members it was attended to next. The meeting was then turned over to the program com- mittee, of which Cynthia Dean was chairman. French songs were sung and no one could want for better music. French games were often played and were always enjoyed by all. Sometimes a story was read. We did our best to enter into the spirit and life of the French people. The whole meeting was carried on in thc French language, which gave the pupils a chance to express themselves in French and see their mistakes. The meetings were always peppy and thoroughly interesting. J. L. S. '27.

At the first meeting held October ll, 1925, the ottieers for the year were elected with the president, Elsie Rappg seeretary, Susan Hamiltong treasurer. Sarah McCullough. Also as a committee for the preparation of programs Georgena llekard and Edwin XVisner were elected. The eirele has been a great success. Each month some new surprise was awaiting when the members assembled. Sometimes there were games, sometimes plays, and onee slides of Spain were presented. At Christmas time in Spain one of the customs is the breaking of a large grab-bag and the presentation of the gifts it contains. This year the elub had a Christmas party and this old Spanish custom was imitated. Another feature was presented in the May session when a, little Spanish play, Nuo de Ellos Debe Casarsef' was acted. The east included Jean Ham- mer, Elsie Rapp, Herbert Marks and George Clay. The play being quite a sue- eess was later presented in chapel. The purpose of the elub, to aequaint the students with Spanish customs and habits, and the language of Spain has certainly been fulfilled with the great help of our leader, Miss Hubbell. E. E. R. '28, Fitty-two Ea fri E E4-E 5 -I The Orchestra Under the leadership of lllrs. Egolf, the orchestra has again been quite suc- ccssful. Since they distinguished themselves so Well at the High School plays and Sewihi Benefit movie last year, a number of requests were received to play at various places. Among these. which they willingly accepted, were the Kiwanis Club Dinner at the Park Place Hotel. three Sunday talks for the boys at the Y. M. C. A., the Dedication Program, and the Oratorieal Contest held in our High School. Many times during the year we were favored with special musical programs and we greatly appreciate the splendid work of both the leader and orchestra. The different instruments were represented thus: violin: Frank Fickinger, Homer Fisher, George Garrett, Marcel Hegert, Glenn Hoffman. David Klicker, George Kuipers, Ross Mechlin, Helen Minick. and Carl Musgraveg cello: Max Feltwell and Percy Littlecottg saxophone: Charles Riehardsong cornet: Glenn Kautz, XVillian1 Boyd, James McCracken, and Robert Blaekwellg clarinet: Anthony Henricig drums: Charles Boyd. George Cook. and George Clayg piano: Catherine Clark and Llda J ones. Next year there will be a student leader in the orchcstrag Max Feltwell has been learning to lead this year. Under the instruction of Mrs. Egolf the orches- tra next year promises to be a good one. L. J. '28 I-'ittyel hrei- lf 4? av'avf -w The Glee Club The solos, duets, and even quintets furnished by the Glec Club this year have greatly increased the interest and variety of the Chapel programs. Many good voices were discovered, and singing, always enjoyed by the school, was on the program nearly every week. Special numbers were given at Thanksgiving and at Christmas time. The big undertaking ot' the year was the production of the musical comedy, The Gipsy Rover, with the following cast: Rob, the Gipsy Rover. James Car- song Meg, Elizabeth Cannong Marto, Arthur lllellonaldg Sinfo. Marcel Hegertg Zara, Cynthia Deang Lady Constance, Lois Bradleyg Lord Craven. Paul Bar- berg Nina, Martha Loweryg Capt. Jerome, John Stewartg McCorkle, Edwin Vllisnerg Sir Foby Lyon. John Mcllwain. The choruses and dances were composed of the entire glee club. Altliough the operetta was given too late for publication, it gave every indication of being a great success. The efforts of Mrs. Egolf in the work of directing the pro- dnetion were very commendable, and she is to he congratulated on her success. L. E. B. I-'im--fu r E+ :E 1 l The Oracle As every school has its school paper, so has Sewickley High School its Oracle. The Oracle has been a regular weekly event for several years, its pur- pose being to recount the important happenings of our school life. The paper was limited to two or three columns in the Herald this year, but the matter printed was well worth while. The publishing of the Oracle is dependent upon two staffs, each issuing alternate numbers, and responsible to the editor-in-chief. The editor-in-chief was Jean Mould. The editors of the staffs this year were Lois Bradley and Arthur McDonald. On each of the staffs are an activities and four class report- ers, the boys' and girls' athletic reporters being members of both groups. Those on Staff 1 were Herbert Marks. activities, Georgena Eckard, Elsie Rapp, John McIlwain and John McCann, class reporters. Staff ll was composed of Betty Sands, activities, and John Alexander, George Clay, Helen Stotfel, and Barbara Merrill as class reporters. The athletic reporters were Charles Day and Cynthia Dean. Thus, about fifteen students tried their hand at journalism, and, consider- ing their experience. we say they have done well. J. M. '28 Fiftyfflve E5 CC i':l-ill Oratorical Contest In order to decide who eould best represent the school in the first Inter- school meet, at contest was held in our high school. Doris Mather, Aliec Hallam, W'illiam Duncan, Fred Brand, and James Carson spoke at this time, The judges finally decided that James t'arson's speech on t l'he Constitution best dealt with the desired subject matter. How well their judgment was justified was shown at the first Sectional Contest. Bellevue, Avalon, Aspinwall, and Sewiekley representatives met at the Sewickley Auditorium, and. when the heat of debate was over, Sewickley had secured the right to enter the Allegheny County Contest at Carnegie Hall, Pittsburgh. A silver loving cup is the sehoolis memento of this victory. On the night of the meet Sewiekley turned out to cheer on their champion. However, the ehoiee of the judges Fell elsewhere. as we failed to he placed among the first three. Vie are proud of the honor for our school obtained in this second year of our participation. With the knowledge and experience gained in this year's effort, and the spirit aroused by this high point of success, eomliined with Miss Kerr's ability as a coach, we look only to the heights of sueeess in the next year 's orations.

A., every Thursday, a group of earnest fellows meet together to discuss among themselves the problems which belong either to their life of to-day, or may arise later in their life. This organization of High School boys, the Hi-Y Club, was formed for the purpose of: creating, maintain- ing and establishing throughout the school and community higher standards of Christian living. Preliminary to the discussion groups, an appetizing dinner is served. After the social half hour round the table Mr. Parke takes the Seniors, the Rev. Mr. Cole, the Juniors. and Mr. Cope, the Sophomores, and discussion groups are held. A very interesting meeting was held in December when the boys who were at the Conference gave their reports. The theme of the Conference was t'The Obligations of Youth. Probably the two most outstanding meetings of the year were held on the two Sunday afternoons before Easter, The first Sunday, Andy Kerr, the hea.d coach at 'W. 31 J., spoke on t'Playing the Gamew and tl1e next week 4' Herb McCracken of Lafayette, spoke on The Making of an Athlete. A general invitation was sent to the men and boys of Sewiekley, Ambridge. and Coraopolis to attend these meetings. These talks were a new feature of the Hi-Yi' Club program and were intended to impress upon the minds of the fellows to play the game of life always fairly and squarely. The social side of the Hi-Y was also a sueeessg the outstanding event was when the boys entertained the girls. At this dinner, the boys served the girls and proved themselves very skillful waiters, they were rather slow, but they served the purpose. After dinner a danee was held at which time both the guests and waiters met in equal standing. M. F. '28, Fiftyeseve I1 '- El-1: jab LTI.. .E The Girl Reserve Club President EDITH MOULD Vice President DORIS IIATHER Secretary LLDA JONES Treasurer JEAN Moum The Girl Reserve Club, organized from the Girls' Hi-Y, has just closed its fourth successful year. Under the leadership of Edith Mould, and our new advisor, Miss Millen, who has a large place in all our hearts, we, as builders, have been adding to the construction of our lives. The additions that we have built this year may not have been our best work, but We have earnestly striven to make houses where God may dwell-beautiful, entire, and clean. This year, in carrying out our program at the meetings each Thursday evening, the symbols of the Girl Reserve ring--health, knowledge, and spirit, have been of service. Because of the wide variation in each meeting, the girls do not lose interest, but are always eager in attendance. The special features of the year were: a Mother and Daughter banquet, two joint dinners with the Boys' Hi-Y, one given by each clubg a Ilallowe'en partyg our pageant, L'Thc Quest ol' the Princess, given before the Womanls Ulubg and the entertainment. at the Watson Home. At our meeting' on April 20, the following officers were elected for next year: President, Jean Mould, Vice President, Winifred White, Secretary, Ruth Doig, Treasurer, Peggy White. L. L, J. QS. Fitty-t-ig1'ht E-1: .FE The Stage Guild This year under the able direction of Lowell Nicols a program of stage set- ting on a large scale was undertaken. During each month several rehearsals were held so that all might know the fundamental duties of a back stage worker. During the year the etfect of these practice periods was noticeable, as speed and neatness were combined. At the end of the course the Guild was indeed the most skilled group ever in charge of our scenery. In Harry S. Weiss, as chief ot' the crew, we are fortunate to have one who has been for several years active in this line and who knows exactly what to do. George Bassett, as operator of the spot light and chief of the rope crew, deserves special mention for his excellent work. As operator of the scenic light- ing, Robert Connelly is unexeelled. Other members of the crew are Glenn Abercrombie, John Alexander, Charles Ritchey, Eugene Harrison, Jehu Hamilton, ,Paul Myers, and Weston Clay. Vie feel that the first year of the Stage Guild has been one wherein we have learned many things useful in everyday life, the time spent has been well repaid by the success of our undertakings. Next year we hope our successors will raise to new heights the accomplishments of the Stage Guild. NV. D. '27. Fifty-nine E.-L ati ELF IT' E41: The Junior High School Orchestra This is the first year in which the school could boast of a Junior High School Orchestra and it is worthy of evcryone's appreciation. Under the careful and efficient direction of their instructor, Miss Stewart, the orchestra. has made wonderful progress. They were also very fortunate in having Mr. Mcliuekie for a leader in the chapel periods. They played on numer- ous enjoyable oceasionsg for the chapel programs, for the Home and School Association, and for a grade school program. The orchestra is very large as you will notice from the list: Violins- William Hallam. Donald Slem, Henry Luntz, Joseph McDonough. Leroy llulands, James Fullman, Ronald Scott, Dorothy James. Pianists-Jane Kunkle, Nancy Myers. Mandolins-David McConnell, Charles McConnell. Cornetsf- John Curtis, Robert Barton, Joseph Sehallaek. Clarinets-Vlilliam Mauro, George MacDonald, Albert Flora. Uanjo-John Carson. Drums-James iVil- helmy. Xve feel that the time spent has been well worth while and look forward to a bigger and better orchestra next year. N. J. M. '30. Nxty EJ' The Freshman Glee Club The Glee Club began its work early in September, u11der the direction of M-iss Emily Stewart, who also has charge of the music in the grades. This year's Glee Club comprises forty members. The first few meetings were taken up in obtaining some idea of the voeal ability of the members indi- vidually. By the third month of sehool, more difficult and interesting work began. Many new songs were learned and later audiences, and received applause for their efforts. The members receive excellent training as w through the Glee Club activity period. The work of the Glee Club this year has been to the enthusiasm shown by the members, and to Emily Stewart. Vile hope that next year's work may be even given to very appreciative ell as wholesome pleasure, very successful, clue partly the excellent work of Miss more successful. D. A. lil. '30. Sixty-one E-I I I The Seventh and Eighth Grade Glee Club You may wonder at the good singing we have had in our Chapel programs. It is largely due to the Seventh and Eighth Grade Glee Club composed of forty- nine very good singers. The clubs were elective and selective. This barred students who were not interested in niusic. The boys met on Tuesday afternoons and the girls on Thursday afternoons for an hour under the instruction ot' Miss Stewart. The boys division studied songs with four parts and the girls those having' two parts, Many new and beautiful songs were learned. With the help of the Junior High Orchestra and the Ninth Grade Mixed Chorus. a very good program, which every one enjoyed, was given in Chapel. In May another program was given for the public. ' Our Junior High School has every reason to bc proud of its Glee Club. Sixty-two Ea ra Chapels and Literaries This yea1' the chapel and literary programs were run on a different plan than that of previous years. Formerly, the Tuesday programs were presented by groups chosen from any class or report room. On Thursdays the Seniors produced their special program as they did this year. It was hoped that by allowing report rooms to compete in literary channels each week, as a group, and with their ,own class chairman, more pride and ctfort would be aroused in the program. The idea has proved true, for we all realize the great difference in the per- formances when compared with last year 's. The programs as a whole have been entertaining, well-planned, and instructive. The Seniors this year have done splendidly on almost every occasion. VVe must give special credit and great praise, however, to Mr. Stewart and his report room for their unusual and unique programs. A number of plays added interest to chapel mornings. Mrs. Egolf coached the Junior debates this year and they certainly made a fine showing. The first debate was held in November. The question at issue was: Resolved, that jazz has an elevating influence upon music and civiliza- tion, the affirmative being upheld by Elsie Rapp and Llda Jones, the negative by Peggy White and Anna McPherson. The affirmative won, but we all agree that it was a close contest. The second debate of the year was in February, the issue being, Resolvcd-- that intercollegiate and interscholastic athletics as now carried on are unde- sirable, and that present tendencies in high school athletics are harmful. Those on the affirmative side were George Clay and George Garrett, the negative, Fred Brand and Howard Clay, the negative team won. The last debate subject: Resolved-that the newspaper is a greater agent in the promotion of crime than the movie. The results of this debate were too late for this book, but it promised to be very interesting, Those discussing the question are: affirmative, William Fader and Paul Myers, negative, VVilliam Cook and Max Feltwell. Musical mornings were not lacking. The Juniors showed what splendid t.alent is theirs in a morning program. The Music Club of Sewickley continued their last year 's plan of sharing programs with us. Their numbers are always attractive. The Glee Club of Slippery Rock Normal School was with us one morning. Sixty-three The Sewihi Campaigns The Sewihi Campaigns offer an opportunity to all students to participate in making money that the year-book may be a success. Campaigns are carried on during the school year in connection with the Sewihi Benefit plays, the Sewihi subscription campaign, and the Sewihi Benefit movie. The Sewihi benefit plays were the tirst plays given to the public by the students in the new High School Auditorium. The staff decided to give a social for all those who sold two tickets or more, on one condition: if the house was tilled. The students got together, sold tickets and Hlled the house to over- flowing. The tickets were not sold by a small few, for a large crowd turned out to the social-at least seventy-five per cent of the student body, The campaign was a success as well as the plays. The Sewihi subscription campaign next in order was a contest between classes. The art editors made a picture of one of these eontrapt ions to try one's strength. A man, representing the classes, was swinging a sledge-hammer which when it hits a plank sends a, piece of iron up a rod to ring a bell. XVhen the bell was reached it marked one hundred per cent. Cards with the names of the classes were placed up tl1e scale according to the percentage the class had. The contest lasted one week. The Seniors finished in first place with one hundred eleven per cent, the Juniors next, and then the Sophomores. Freshman, eighth grade and seventh grade came next respectively. The order for books this year was greater than in previous years, on account of having the seventh and eighth grades in the high school. ' The Sewihi Benefit Movie was the last campaign. Harold Lloyd in The Freshman was shown. The movie was shown in the lligh School auditorium with the school cameras. lt was a success, but not quite so successful as usual, owing to the fact that the movie had been shown in town once before. Tickets were given to the students, no prize was offered, but they had the honor of selling the tickets. As a whole, the campaigns were very successful, due to the loyal support of the student body and the faculty. J, L. 27. Sixtyvtour I I E gi' Bi 'E DRAMA EL FE '4 The Youngest The annual play, given for the benefit of the Activities Association, was presented on Thursday and Friday evenings, M-ay 19 and 20, in the High School auditorium, under the direction of Mr. E. J. McLuekie. After the unusual suc- cess of the mid-year plays, we rather expected this performance to be a credit to the school. Nor were we disappointed-the house was filled both nights with a well satisfied crowd. In our dramatic production it has always been our aim to select plays that really have an underlying thought, aside from the entertainment they afford. The Youngest is a story of a boy who wishes to write, but whose family is def termined that he shall take a position in their pin factory. Since he is the youngest in the family, he finds it impossible to assert himself, and his life becomes a continual round of nagging, and imposition. Then one of his sister 's friends comes to spend a vacation with them, and becomes interested in The Youngest. She undertakes and accomplishes a complete change in his position in the family. Probably more success in the reform was produced by a flaw in the family will, which made The Youngest possessor of both estate and factory. The leading roles of Richard and Nancy were exceptionally well taken by Paul Meyer and Peggy White. All the more praise is due the cast considering none of them had had much experience and few of them had had any. This was perhaps the most inexperienced cast we have ever featured in a three-act play. The stage guild, too, must come in for their share of glory. At the beginning of the year the small size of our stage was the cause of much criticism and skepticism, but the splendid work of this group has negatived all objections. The setting was good and the changing of scenery smooth and swift.

These were the a11nual mid-year plays, given for the benctit of the Sewihii Never have the plays been more successful or better attended. The cast included twenty-three students, most of whom were making their first appearance on the stage. All praise is due to Mr. Mcliuckie, the new director, whose choice of plays was so commendable, and whose hard work made this success possible. The Choir Rehearsal takes place when mother was a girl. The audience found the contemporary costumes, stage-setting, and manner of speech very attractive. Something quite out of the ordinary was presented in the singing, and in the playing of the old-fashioned organ. The Tuckertown choir comes to practice at the home of Esmeralda, the soprano, whom the elders have suspended because she new parson, it in such a standing an sang a love song in church. On the same evening, Mr. Vvlylie, the comes to call, and Esmeralda sings her song for him. He interprets way that it becomes a hymn, and she is forgiven. From this under- attachment springs up between the two. Elizabeth Cannon and Max Fcltwell seemed ideal for these two parts. John Stewart, as VVi1liam the organist, kept everyone laughing. Yilinifred 'White as Abigail the alto, Vileston Clay as Amos the bass, and Marcel Hegert as Enoch the tenor, were all well suited to their parts. The Golden Doom. is a symbolic play, probably the first of the kind that we have ever attempted to give. A Babylonian dance was a splendid intro- duction, setting the time of the play and the right atmosphere. A king has gained such strength and happiness for his people that they look up to him almost as a god. The children of a guard pray at his palace door for a hoop. Before leaving, they write on the door a poem which they have composed. Believing the stars to be angered by the power ot' the king, the prophets interpret it as the foretelling of doom. To save his people from destruction, the good king leaves his crown at the door as a sacrifice to the stars. The children take it away, thinking it an answer to their prayers for a hoop. Seeing that his crown has disappeared, the king thinks the stars have accepted his sacrifice. The leading role of king was taken by Fred Brand, who deserves special commendationg his chief councillor was VVilliam Fader, the sentries, Ralph and Kenneth McClesterg the children. Jane Connelly and Anthony Henricig the prophets, Jack Warner, Frank Fickingcr, and Albert Janosikg and the spies, Edwin Vtlisner and John Alexander. The Dear Departed is a comedy of the time before prohibition. The dear departed is an old man who becomes so intoxicated that he falls into a death-like stupor. Thinking him dead, his daughter Amelia with whom he lives, notifies her sister Elizabeth, who comes immediately with her husband Ben. Before their arrival. however, Amelia and Henry, her husband, anticipating a wrangle over thc property, move some of the furniture from the old man 's room, intend- ing to say it belongs to them. Soon after Elizabeth and Ben have come, the dear departed wakens and appears on the scene. He discovers what Amelia and Henry have done, and Amelia in her anger tells how Elizabeth and Ben have always refused to have the old man live with them. He then caps the climax by stating that since no one seems to want him, he is going to be married, and invites them all to his wedding. Williani Duncan portrayed the character of the dear departed to perfection. Eleanore Xilatson, Joseph Taylor and Jean Hammer took the parts of Amelia, Henry and their daughter, Katherine Nicholas and Arthur McDonald were Elizabeth and Ben. D. M.

Did you ever hear of a team which played four games to a tie score, in the same season, each of which was a decided moral victory? Sewiekley claims such an eleven. Even with these tied games, this record is better than the one made in 1925. Perhaps the new building created a fiery pep in the hearts and voices of the rooters. Perhaps it was the very nearness of victory which drew the crowds to add their voices to the cries of advice hurled at the deaf ears of the players. Certainly there was a great increase in the spirit of the school. Through thick and thin the school and the team stuck to- gether, the team knew that the student body was behind them, and played harder because of it. A great deal of credit for the success of the High School eleven can be attributed to our coach, Mr. Gray. Having coached a championship team in New Brighton in 1925, Mr. Gray continued his gridiron tactics in Sewickley. In the first mass-meeting of the year, he took charge of the assembly. He stated his ideas of the school spirit in strong terms, which were not complimentary, to say the least. From this time on, the improvement in spirit and loyalty has been very marked. Sewickley is extremely fortunate in having an athletic field so near the school. This is doubtless one of the reasons why so many candidates continued to come out forthe squad. Being level, well drained, and of a sandy nature, it is beyond comparison with the fields of other high schools in this valley. The season opened with Ambridge as our opponent. Our team lacked con- fidence and was nervous, as is generally the ease in the first game, due to the fact that Ambridgc was in mid-season form. One player, however, had decided to start the season with a bang. Howard Foht, our speedy little half-back, scooped up an Ambridge fumble in the second half, and sped seventy-Hve yards for a touchdown. Other members of the team showed their ability, and although the score was 6-6 fthe first tie of the seasonb, prospects were high for a winning team. To settle the argument, as to the better team, a return game was arranged for Armistice Day. The following Friday Ben Avon came to Sewicklcy with high hopes. As the game progressed their hopes fell. Their fast backs failed time and again to pierce the defense of the Red and Blue. In the second quarter Sewickley marched to their one-yard line. A costly fumble kept the boys in scarlet from crossing the goal line. The game from then until the final whistle was mostly of a defensive character. It was a hard-fought contest from beginning to end, and showed to good advantage the real ability of our boys. After these two tie games the school hoped for a change. They received it in the form of the hardest fought game of the season. Bellevue came down the river in full force, undefeated for the season and boasting a. victory over Shady- side. The Red and Blue, however, were primed for the fight. Sewickley, greatly outweighed, played real football, and led at the end of the first half 7-0. Duncan, our stellar full-back, snatching the fumbled ball from the midst of play, tucked it under his arm on our own four yard line and raced the length of the field for a touchdown. This was a beautiful run, the longest of the season in Sewickley Valley, and it called forth just praise from all sources. But in the second half the lighter Sewickley line slowly broke before the heavy rushes of the Bellevue backs. A touchdown was scored. but, still leading, Sewickley held again and the lines swayed back and forth in the center of the field. Finally in the last Sixty-nine E.-L LI1 'E J' .fl-ff it-le few minutes of play, the Bellevue full-ba.ck crashed through our weakened defense to snatch a hard-won victory. The game ended 12-7. In every season there are disappointments. Ours was no exception. Bea- ver, who greatly outweighed the local eleven, defeated the bearers of the Red and Blue to the tune of 18-0. Needless to say, the game was a hard fought con- flict, but the tield being a sea of mud and water, gave extra advantage to the heavier eleven. After this set-back, Sewickley expected a triumph, but in the following game with Avalon our expectations were again denied, as the contest ended a heartbreaking O-0 tie. This game merely whetted the appetites of the Sewickley gridders for their first victory of the year. They had thus far had a fairly hard schedule, but we1'e determined to carry their banner through to victory over the Garnet and Gray of Ambridge. Our dreams were realized in the game. on Armistice Day. The game was played before a crowd of 6,000, among whom was Governor Fisher of Pennsyl- vania. Icy mud covered the fieldg but what can stop Sewickley's pep when at its best? Ambridge eouldn't. Duncan's powerful toe punted the ball to the Ambridge two yard line. The return punt was blocked, and the resulting safety gave Sewickley the winning two points. This was a worthy Victory, and the more welcome because it was the only one in two years. This game gave the team and the school the spirit needed to combat Cory, who this year boasted the best team that ever wore her colors. The day of the Cory game dawned with perfect football weather. The field was in fine condition. Sewickley started in an impressive manner. After the kickoff, Duncan hit the line for the first play. He gained about four yards. In this manner Sewickley marched to the Cory thirty yard line, but here they met a stone wall. A drop kick was tried, but failed, and Cory received the ball on her own ten yard line. By a wide spread formation which baffled the Sewickley line, who failed to counter-shift, Cory pushed the ball over for a touchdown. However the try- for-point was blocked and the half ended 6-O. The second half told a different story. With an undefeated record of over thirteen years to uphold, the Sewiekley eleven took on new life, and made a great effort to win the game. Defeat! 5 Impossible This spirit, aided by Dame Fortune, enabled the Red and Blue to block a punt on Cory 's forty yard line. It was Foht who picked up the pigskin and carried it over the goal-line for a touchdown. The try-for-point failed by inches and the score remained 6-6. Late in the game Lee tried a drop-kick from the thirty yard line, but it failed. The final score of this game is identical with last year's, 6-6. The teams are evenly matched and they always play their hardest and best. VVatch next year 's game. XVith the wealth of material left from this year's team, the Red and Blue can't be stopped. Our final game of the year was with Dormont, one of the strongest teams in NVQ-stern Pennsylvania. As this game came after our big game of the season, a relapse was not unexpected. The former spirit was gone. The players no longer displayed their old-time pep and ginger. This is how it happened that our season ended with 25-0 defeat. The majority of the squad got into the tussle, and several gained experience that will prove useful next year. The worthy bearers of the Sewiekley High Football Season of 1926 are: C.xP'rA1N ARTHUR MCDONALD-Left Tackle. Art led the team through thick and thin. Always in the thickest of the fight, he was one of the best tackles Sewiekley ever had. VVho will fill his shoes next year? A Seventy-one EL: if E Lortls HUNT-Left End. t'Bus played beside Art He has been on the team two years and during this time his opponents have learned to respect his all around ability. How often have you seen Number 17 on a red jersey rise from the bottom of a heap, and then shouted, Hooray, Hunt got him! EDNVARD DEVIN F:-Left Guard. 'fPat filled the other position on the left of the line. He always showed the Irish fighting spirit and then eaine back for more. Pat', has another big year ahead of him but he'll have to go some to beat the f'Pat of 1926. KENNPIq'lI JOHNS'-C6Dl6P. f'Ken is one of the best centers Sewiekley ever had. Ile didn 't make a poor pass during the entire season. Ken starred in breaking up punts and in backing up the line. lle has been elected captain for 1927. GEORGE K UIPERS--Right Guard. George is only a Sophomore but he certainly can play football. He is not especially quiet but still his aetions speak louder than words as far as football is concerned. -l.xMns LEE-Right Tackle. I-Ilia was Edgeworth's representative 011 the team. Libby blocked the punt i11 the Cory game which gave us our touchdown. When you think of our side of that G-6 score, think of 'tJim'l Lee. NVe hope that he breaks up lots more punts during his remaining years at S, H. S. Bnwrn. Nanny-Riglit End. Bertil is a six footer, and a hard opponent to deal with either on offense or defense.

Jimmie or Herb is noted for his line-plunging ability. Only those who have played against him know what it is to stop him when he hits the line. VVe are glad that he has two more years of High School football. llowuzn Four-llalfbaek. Fohtie is the fastest man on the team, as well as the smallest. He played end on defense. A S, H. S. rooter once said about him to a. Dormont bench-warmer, he's never down until there are at least three men on him. Seventy-two -I fra ,E VVILLIAM DUNCAN-Fullback. Pretzel always plays his hardest. He doesnft know how to loaf on the job. Because he is alert, he always takes advantage of the breaks in the game. Consequently he made the longest run in the Ohio Valley this year. t'Pretzel is an all-round player, he both punted, passsed, and ran with the ball. His will be the largest shoes on the team to Hll next year. JAMES PORTER-QUi1I't61'lJHCli. Jimmie gained consistently each time lie carried the ball. He is noted for his forward passing ability. After seeing Jim play football, you think that the Greeks were not the only great athletes in the world. At thc end of the season a banquet was held for the squad. It was unani- mously voted the best one in years. Mr. Christy. Mr. Nevin, Mr. Cope, Mr. Parke, Mr. Mclllasters. and Mir. Conway spoke. Mr. Gray, the coach, acted as toast master. One of the speakers mentioned the substitutes. They certainly deserve much credit this year. Some stayed out the whole season, without a single chance in a game. The school, coach, and varsity players thank the fol- lowing for their unselfish and faithful work for the Red and Blue: Alexander, Butler, Connelly, Diggs, Fader. J. Hamilton, Janosik, Martin, G. Myers, P. Meyer, R. McClester, Moir, Nevin. Roe, Hawley, Stewart, NVilhelmy, Vilisncr, and our managers Nauman and Czillinger. 'Fl IE SCI!

A squad of over fifty aspirants turned out, but these were quickly cut down to a first and second team. Jimmy Porter, 'iJickles Cook, Pretzel Duncan, VVes Clay, and Fred Brand were in the early line-ups. Captain Paul Barber was kept out of the early contests because of illness, but he rejoined the team in the fourth game. On the other hand Porter played only the first few games and then was forced out because of poor health. Two preliminary games, one with Cory, and the other against the Alumni, promised a victorious floor season for Sewicklcy, However the Red and Blue came out of the first two scheduled contiicts on the short end of the score. Then backed by the old school spirit, the team succeeded in walloping Ambridge and Freedom by double the opponents' score. A defeat at the hands of Ben Avon finished the first half of the schedule, S. II. S. winning two and losing three. The second half was a better story. The only team that really threatened the Red and Blue was Bellevue. The up-river quintet had seventeen successive victories to their credit when they met Sewiekley, and each team realized that it was scheduled for the hardest game of the season. Brand. Cook, Duncan, Johns, and Clay represented the locals. and the rooters felt that a better team could not be placed on the floor, although Barbers leadership was missed. Sewickley scored first, and, from then on, it was pass and shoot until the end of the game. As the end of playing time approached the excitement increased, play became harder a.nd faster, and every effort was made to score. When the final whistle blew, the score board read 21-21. and an extra period was needed. In the rush of those three minutes Sewickley blew up, missing every shot, while Bellevue racked up tive points. Those who won their letters by their excellent work in basketeball are: I,AUL BARBER-Captain. Pablo is a forward who is in the game every minute of playing time. never resting, never slacking his swift pace. One of the coolest players that ever represented the Red and Blue on the floor, he made an excellent captain. Surely, calmly, but with bursts of amazing speed, he dribbles through the oppos- ing team. Perhaps it is his coolness, or maybe his perpetual smile, that makes him a natural leader, but at any rate every one on the team did their best for Paul and the school. S'r.xNi.EY Coox. t'Jickles is without doubt the cleverest forward who ever wore the Red and Blue. He won the honor of high scorer in this section of the NV. P. I. A. L., which speaks for itself. To a spectator seeing Cook play for the tirst time. lie doubtless seems to be loating occasionally, but those who have seen him often know that he is the most alert player on the floor. His eyes never leave the ball. and when his chance comes it never goes by unnoticed, and almost always means two points for the Sewickley team. The players showed faith in his ability by electing him captain of next year's quintet. Cook was named by the Press and the Post as All-Section forward and he surely deserves the honor. Seventy h e E-11 JE EE' E FRED BRAND Fred is the best center in the Section, if the Post has anything to say about it. Sewickley thinks so, too. His mighty leaps won the ball for the S. H. S. forwards time and again. He starred equally on offence and defence, and usually came out of a game with four or tive field goals to his credit. NVe are glad that Fred has another big year before him, and we feel certain that he will keep up his good record. ' YVESTON CLAY. For cool, clean, hard, playing look up VVes Clay. He has held down the guard position in a manner that brought commendation from the stands at every game. Yet he is not a grandstand player. Between the whistles his mind is on the game, and his action shows it. It is an unknown thing for a hostile dribbler to pass him, he is very effective in breaking up opposing team work, and his pep and cool playing have sent the Red and Blue ahead in the home stretch, time and again during the season. XVILLIAM DUNCAN. Glen Osborne contributed 'tPretzel H to the team. Coming from the Alerts, Pretzell' made the high school team and was named by the Press as All Sec- tion Guard. It was a relief to the Red and Blue rooters to see his lanky form in the line-up. His team work is his best feature. Himself an excellent player, he ha.s the alertness to see when another player has a better chance than himself, and his own glory never enters into the question. Ile brought the stand to their feet time and again with a. brilliant play ending in a field goal. ICENNETII Jon t'Kenny is a guard, mainly, but he is an all-round player. He is fast, an excellent passer, a hard fighter, and superb i11 all defensive plays. He is an equally good offensive player. For getting the ball to the right end of the floor he couldn't be better. Ken has another big year before him, and his playing should prove a pleasure to watch. II.xRR1soN lllvnlzs. Harry is another six-footer, sometimes playing center, sometimes guard. Ile moves over the floor, turning up at just the right moment to break up a long pass or to complete a brillia.nt play. He is a sure shot and a good man to rely on in a pinch. Harry will be back next year. XTERNER Rowifsv. Bubb1es,' substitutes as guard and. occasionally, forward. He plays his hardest and best at all times. His timely shots and passes, or his clever smashing of an enemy play have brought cheers from the stands repeatedly. THE SECOND TEAM Sewiekley has every reason to be proud of the record of the second team this year. After a. delay of three games. they met and conquered all opponents, winning seven and losing three games during the season. Much excellent material will be found next year for the first string quintet in Neely, Hamilton, XVilhelmy, Feltwell and Dods. NVe thank these players for their excellent service during the season, and wish them much luck in winning their S next year. Seventy-six Et-. JE 45 The I927 Girfs Basket Ball Season This year S. ll. S. has had better sueeess than in previous years. The team of '26-'27 is a team worth bei11g proud of. lt has shown its sportsmanship in the way it has taken both victory and defeat. The fastest and most interesting games of the year were the Coraopolis game at home and the Ben Avo11 game at Ben Avon. The former was nip and tuck until the very last minute, the home team losing by only one point. The latter game was lost by three points. Although both these games were defeats for Sewickley we feel that our best playing was shown in them. Our captain deserves credit for the spirit she put into the team, and their determination to win. Edith Mould played guard for Sewickley and has proved her ability by being picked as a guard on the Section team. This is Edith 's fourth year as a regular. Our other guard and a good one was Helen Minick. Helen has come out regularly for the team and has helped greatly. Reliable and always at the place most needed, her opponents know it is not any easy job to lose our Helen. This is only her Junior year, so look for another great year for Helen. Jean Mould is one of our forwards who played so well in the first three games that she F311 up a total of 45 baskets, a notable achievement. Jean has 1'eceived a letter each year in basketball and is a member of the class of l28. Another good forward is Rosalia Hammer-another name for lightning. This is Rosalia's first year on the varsity, but already she is known for her long shots. When you get Rosalia and Jean together you witness excellent, fast pass work and still more wonderful scoring. Eleanore YVatson played center this year instead of forward as she did in her first three years. Although Sonny'7 was a good forward l'm sure we all agree she is a better center. And, by the way, Sonny was picked for the first team of the Section. This is her fourth year as a regular and we will surely miss her pep next year. Another player whom we are sorry to lose is our side center, Sara McCul- lough. Our regret is that she is the last McCullough to come up and show Sewickley what Lcetsdale can do. USally plays a lightning game and the side centers on opposing teams should be given a hint not to get her angry unless they want to lose the game. This is Sally's third year on the varsity and she can well possess her gold basketball. In addition to these stars, our squad consists of loyal helpers upon whose cooperation the success of the team rests. Two of these are Seniors--Betty Sands, an efficient subreenter, and Cynthia Dean, our little manager, whme capable work fully deserves the rceognition of merit-her letter. Ethel Vinall and Virginia Richardson are very promising material for next yea.r's team. Their work this year was noteworthy. A banquet marked by good fellowship and school spirit was enjoyed at the home of Edith lllould. No, we are not forgetting our eoaeh, Miss Copeland, to whose interest and untiring effort we owe our success. She gives her best and in so doing, brings out our determination to do our best for her. She was certainly missed during her absence of a month, although her place was taken by a most capable sub-coach, Miss Koehler, to whom we and the school give most sincere thanks. Good luck to the coming champions of next year. VVe will be satisfied with nothing less than the section leadership.

Mr. Gray has the ability, experience, and pep belonging to a real coach. This year Sewickley has not been handicapped by the laek of proper coaching, good equipment and near-by athletic field. The scores show the result, especially in base ball. I As soon as the days were warm, the aspirants of the diamond began warni- ing up their stiif muscles. The positions of catcher, seco11d base and the out-- field were open, but at least half a dozen young hopefuls turned out for each position. Porter, Bassett, and Neely quickly showed their ability at catching, while Bobby Hamilton surpassed Bill Boyd only by his superior speed in their race for the keystone bag. HJickles Cook, Weston Clay, and Henry Karp demonstrated the art of capturing outfield tlies to the coach 's satisfaction. The first sack was covered by the lanky golfer Fred Brand, shortstop by Paul Barber, and third base by Bus Hunt, all regulars from the l926 team. After two weeks of practice these players met the Langley nine, last year 's city champions, for a practice game which they lost 4-1. This was not at all discouraging. for Duncan, last two years' hurler, worked his curves to excellent advantage over the city champs. Finally the first game was played and the 9-2 victory over Avalon sent the Red and Blue hopes for the section championship still higher. However the locals had hard luck the next Friday and fell before Ben Avon 's hurler, who pitched a two hit game. Bellevue has always been Sewickley's pet rival. and this year the rivalry was keener than ever. The up-river school defeated the Red and Blue in football and basketball by close scores, but the locals came back in base-ball. By Prete- zel's fine pitching and the excellent support ot' the other eight they scored a shut-out over their rivals with a 5-0 score. From this time on the victories piled up fast. Avalon fell before the red sox to the tune of 5-3. Ben Avon forfeited, and then came another game for the league lead. Bellevue again threatened to down the local nine, but after the first few innings the score piled up rapidly and the game ended with Sewickley on the good end of a 13-4 score. Sewickley wins Section 3! There was great rejoicing that night, and when the first play-off game with lNleKees Rocks was scheduled, Sewickley turned out loyally, confident of a victory. Duncan never pitched better ball, it seemed to the rooters. The whole team was on, Nothing but a win was possible, and win they did. Starting with a jump, Hunt, the first man up, got on first. Ile stole sec- ond, and a single brought him home. So it ran through the whole game. Not an error against the local nine! Indeed Mcliees Rocks rallied, but Duncan 's arm and his excellent support stopped thcm after two runs had been scored. The team returned home, proud of their 4-2 victory. Next came the semi-finals of the VV. P. I. A. L. Edgewood proved too good for the team in the first few innings, scoring five runs against our zero. In the sixth Martin relieved Duncan and started well but the whole team broke up allowing I3 runs. Nearly every Sewiekley player made an error. The game ended 19-1, which ended the Red and Blue path to the championship. In spite of the disastrous ending, it can be truly said that Sewickley enjoyed the best baseball season for many years in 1927, winning seven games and losing only three. Duncan was the star of the Sewickley High nine in the '27 season. VVith- out the slightest doubt, he is the best pitcher in the league. Vtlhen he is on,', Seventy-nine r' 'E Lg,11y fri ,.-.-...T nv - w--rn --,.T.-,. I 'l and he is seldom otherwise, there is absolutely no hope for the opponents. His favorite trick seems to be getting himself in a hole by walking a couple of players and loading the bases, and then pitching himself out of it by striking out the next trio of bat-swingers. It is breath-taking sport for the rooters but i'Pretzel's confidence in himself and in his support never weakens and his smile will take the confidence out of any but the best batters. Paul Barber was the shortstop. whose hitting and fielding abilities are the joy of Red and Blue supporters. Paul is an old man on the team and is noted especially for his cool tactics on the field. Covering as much ground as a big league shortstop, Paul is the keystone of our infield. VVe'll miss him next year. Bus is our star third baseman. Every player has a slump at some part of the year, some seriously, others only slightly. Bus's came in the early part of the season, and then for the remainder of the year he played baseball as only he can play it. This is Hunt 's senior year and Sewickley enthusiasts are quite forlorn when they think of that third base without Bus next year. Not only his fielding but his hitting makes him valuable to the Red and Blue. He was lead-off man all year, and continually proved himself worthy of the position. Our tall first baseman came through in several pinches during the season. In the first play-off contest Freddy made the hit which brought in the two win- ning runs. His timely hits have brought cheers for him time and time again. However, his ability as a first baseman is greater than his ability as a batter. It was very seldom that Fred made an error and then it was usually because of a bad peg. His size allows him to reach balls and make outs that a smaller man would have missed. We are all glad that Fred will be back next year to fill his place on first. Hamilton's speed is his greatest asset. Combined with natural ability it carried him through football, Junior High basketball and baseball, while the spectators thought, What a wonder he 'll be in his senior year. Although he seldom comes out of a game without an error, many of these were made on chances which an ordinary second-baseman would not have tried for. Fielding is an art which practice makes perfect, while speed is a thing which can only be improved slightly after the first dozen years of one's life. This freshman has attained the knack of reaching first base by hook or crook. His good judgment gave him four walks in a seven-inning game with Bellevue. Jimmy Porter 's catching is a pleasure to watch. VVithout doubt he is the best catcher in the Section. When one of Duncan 's curves cuts the corner. the way Jimmy pulls up the glove and jumps across the plate is enough to rattle even the most calm batter. His nerve deserves mention here. In the last game of the season Jimmy was struck on the hand by a foul-tip. Although he could scarcely hold or throw the ball he caught the remaining haE of the game as though he had three hands. Jimmy is another player we will welcome back next year, and if he continues his record of this year everyone will be satisfied. Bassett is an outfielder of two years' experience. He made several spectac- ular catches during the season, the best of which was on the Bellevue field, when he caught a high, spinning fiy against the fence with his feet hopelessly tangled in a net lying on the ground. His hitting and base running abilities equal his fielding powers. In a pinch Bassett is a catcher, and he substituted well in one of the early games. Clay is an experienced ball player. His first year in S. H. S. baseball was on the first sack. Sickness kept him out lastyear, but his return this season showed that he has not lost the art of baseball. Although Freddy's greater length beat VVes for the first base job, his hitting ability and speed won him the place of center field. His batting has been well above the 300 mark all sea- Eighty-one if -la --l- gf - 1 --' :I--33-A-ff ' 'f 'H' son, and he hit an even 500 at the end of the first four scheduled games. His rec- Erd is one to be proud of :-not an error dimmed his final season of High School ase all. Neely is the 'ftriple king of the ninef' He was the biggest player on the team and for heavy hitting none could match him. Although he started the season as a catcher, he played' the remainder of the season in right field. He is a little slow in starting but he can reach any fly ball possible, and he never drops them. He is an all-round player, catcher, right fielder, and in the last game a relief pitcher. Bertil is a freshman and has three big years left to star for the Red and Blue. In every outfield there is one who stands out from the others in all around ability. This year the find of the season was Jickles Cook. Always in the thickest of the fight, the fastest ground covering outfielder on the team, Jickles well deserves the name of the Flash His greatest catch of the year came in the Ambridge game, when by diving head first he caught a short fly over third ba.se. Cook is at his best when there are runners on the bases. Three other players deserving honorable mention are Clarence Martin, who showed great promise as pitcher in the Ambridge game, XVilliam Boyd, an aggressive pla.yer who has perhaps one of the finest fighting spirits on thc squadg and Henry Karp, who showed good baseball training 'both at bat and in the field. There is also our manager for the past two years, Frank Fiekinger. XVell liked by all, Fickie has guided two successive championship teams for Sewick- ley High thereby setting a record heretofore unequalled and one at which future guardians of the bats and gloves may well aim. Red McElwain has shown as assistant manager qualities that make him foremost for the duty next season. It might be well to remark here that, during the past two years in which Sewickley has twice ascended the Sectional throne, there has been no captain on the team. Before each game a man would be selected to settle all disputes and to captain the Red and Blue for that game. Under this system the fellows all felt as one and petty jealousies were evaded. It was a great example of the whole squad working as one for the good of the school. XVe hope that next year Sewickley High will carry on to greater heights than ever before and may Q.. she always feel that the great team of 1927 is leading her to victory.

The dinner was prepared by Miss Stewart, M-iss Hubbell, and Miss Kerr, with a staff of girls. The food couldn't have been better, turkey and everything that goes with it, and the day's preparation was certainly appreciated by the boys. The guests and speakers of the evening included Mr. Parke, Mr. Conway, Mr. Christy, Mr, Nevin, Mr. Mellaster, and the football coach, Mr. Gray. First High School Social The first social of the year, and oh, what a success l A good peppy orches- tra and a good peppy crowd were both present It was rumored to be the best social in years. There was a very large crowd and everybody entered right into the fun. A larger gym floor will be needed if this keeps up. The program was varied with Paul Jones and Tag Dances. There were no cliques seen that day. The big number on the program, which seemed to be greatly appreciated, was the refreshments. St. Patrick's Day Social All the Irish out, and a large number of others to help them celebrate! At first the crowd was pepless and the social didn't seem such a success, but soon they livened up. This was probably due to our peppy and select orchestra consisting of Catherine Clark, Robert Blackwell, Percy Littleeot, Max Feltwell, and Marcel Hegert. The refreshments were next in order. Ice cream and cakes were served. Taking all in all our St. Patrick's Day social was a big success. High School Alumni Dance As everybody had the giving spirit due to the date, December 22, we decided to ask the Alumni to join us and give them a real treat. The dance was held in the High School Gymnasium, which was beautifully decorated. Large holly wreaths with beautiful red bows were hung on the windows, and mistletoe was placed here and there, just in the right place, of course. The music was produced by the famous Torrie's Orchestra, which surely added pep to the crowd. The chaperons and guests of the evening were Mr. Parke, Mr. and Mrs. Conway, Mr. and Mrs. Mcliuckie, Mr. and Mrs. Gray, Mrs. Peterson, Miss Kerr, and Miss Hubbell, All in all, this dance was a big success due to the work of the Social Com- mittee and our ever-ready-to-help Miss llubbell and Miss Kerr. Eighty-tivo 1 4 Sleigh Rides No one seemed to be able to resist the beautiful deep snow upon the ground. The Juniors and Sophomores were first to make use of it, but not on the same night. After long enjoyable rides they went to the High School and finished up the evening with dancing and refreshments. The Seniors were next to follow in t'Winter's Sport. Although there were more boys than girls, it seemed to be a huge success. At any rate, each one had some thrilling story to tell. Sewihi Social The mid-year plays were about to be given. The ticket sale was on. Every- body was trying his best to sell at least two tickets, because that was the required number to receive the reward. The Sewihi Staff had planned a big social for all those participating in the ticket sale, The Social was held in the Gym Torrie's Orchestra played. The pro- gram was varied by something unusual. First, there was a Scooter race for the girls. A member from each report room was chosen. Margaret Greenhouse won the race, Next was a Kiddy-Kar race for the boys. The winner was Johnny Mcllllwain. The Sewihi Social certainly did go over big and it was considered one of the biggest successes of the year. unlor Prom VVho are you going with? HWhat are you going to wear? Every- body bustling hither and thither, all excited. Canlt you guess the cause? The Junior Prom. of course. The Prom. was held in the Dorian Club, April 22, 1927. The place was beautifully decorated in green and white, in honor of the dignified Seniors. Balloons were hung from the ceiling in a beautiful array of colors. The music was furnished by the noted Ralph Harrison 's Orchestra, which certainly added pep to thc crowd. Another interesting feature on the program was a solo dance, Tatiana,'l given by VVinifred Wihite, in Russian costume. Next came the prize waltz. of which Miss Lila Copeland and some other guests were judges. The last couple to remain on the floor were Doris Mather and Frank Fickinger. Among those present were Mr. and Mrs. Conway, Mrs. Peterson, Mrs. Egolf, Miss Kerr, Miss Hubbell, Miss Kiskaddon, Mr. Stewart, and a number of parents. liiglity-six CHRONOLOGY September September September September Chronology 7-A thrill in coming to the new high school. 8-Bring a dollar, get a lockerg try to work the combination. 9- Books and lessons, 10-Some Freshies', get lost.

W IE LITERATURE 72l Caldwell Boulevard What's her name, Chick? I forget. ftWhose name? growled Chick suspiciously. Why, that girl you 're going to take to the Prom, his room-mate, Bryan MeNealy, answered laughing. Aw, don't get funny! and Chick left the room, slamming the door behind him. It was a favorite pastime of Bryan's-teasing Chick about his girls. Every- one at Brewster knew how girl-shy Chick was. Having spent most of his time away at boys' schools, the thought of a girl filled him with terror. In his con- fusion in speaking to the creatures, he usually stammered! Nothing is more embarrassing to a seventeen year old boy than to stammer before a crowd of girls and boys. So all his life, Chick had avoided them and meant to do so always. Lately though, he had grown weary of Bryan 's endless teasing, for deep in his heart he envied Bryan's assurance--Bryan, who, with his nineteen years of experience, 'tknew all about women. Serve him right if I brought the best looking girl in the county next Friday, he muttered as he strode along, fists dug down deep in his pockets. Somehow, the idea seemed to interest him and he began to visualize his entrance on the gym floor Friday night with his beautiful brunette-or should she be blonde? Oh, well, he could settle all that later. He would be the envy of all the fellows. They would crowd around him, begging for dances. He would condescendingly allow them a few, People would nudge each other and say, That's Charles E. Mann. Jr., over there with the gorgeous girl in blue. Aren 't they a fine looking couple?,' And then he would- Hello, Chiekln called a gay voice, bringing him back to earth with a start. He looked up to see Anne Powell passing him. Why,-er-er-h-h-hello! he stammered, making such a frantic grab for his ha.t that he shoved it off the back of his head. A peal of laughter from across the street revealed that his shame was not unwitnessed. Yeh, he told himself violently as he turned the corner, that's the way I'd shine at the Prom. The next day he was looking up a number in the telephone book when Bryan again mentioned the Prom. Goaded beyond the limit, Chick roared at him, I have a girl for the Prom, and I'll tell you she's a regular stunner,too. Now, maybe, you'll lay otif me for a while, and he turned back to the book, his thoughts racing- What had he said? Oh, what had he said? Whew V' whistled Bryan in amazement, whew ! Then a sudden thought struck him. t'And where does this knock-out live? he asked in an answer-me that tone, which served only to infuriate poor Chick further. Well, you don't believe me, eh? VVell, she lives-she-she lives- his eyes dropped to the book in his hand. Triumphantly he smiled up at Bryan, why, she lives at 721 Caldwell Boulevard. H721 Caldwell Boulevard?', asked Bryan in a puzzled tone. Yes, repeated Chick, N721 C-a-l-d-w-e-l-l Boulevard. Anything else you 'd like to know about her? Bryan stared at him for a few minutes, and then a glimmer of amusement came into his eyes. Yes, he chuckled, rocking back and forth on his heels in his superior way which drove Chick mad. VVhat may her ladyship's name be? Chick glared at him helplessly, but he was in up to his neck, he might as well keep going, anything to shut that thing up. t'Her name is Mary, he fiared, Mary XValton. Ninety-or lf'-F n- Forgetting all about his telephoning, he rushed blindly out of the room. Heavens, he thought, when he was able to think at all, Heavens, what have I done now? He wanted to run away--he just couldn't face Bryan again -and of course he couldn't ever find a girl to take to the Prom. If he did screw his courage up to the point of asking anyone, she would without a doubt refuse, for they all considered him impossible 'Well, he would just have to wait till he found some way out. No danger of Bryan 's forgetting. He'd probably have no peace till long after the Prom was over. And Chick was right. Bryan was in great spirits all week, told all the fellows about Chick 's girl,made him tell where he had met her,and asked a million other details. Chick was tempted many times during that wretched week to tell the truth-but no! That quiet, knowing smile that was stamped on Bryan's face lately was too much for any boy to stand. Give him and all the school such a chance to torment him? Never! Better let them guess the truth than know it. Friday night came. He dressed with great care, playing for time until Bryan should leave. Bryan, it appeared, was in no hurry. He'd wait, he said. Fred Houghton was going to let him have his ear, they 'd go together. Chick 's heart sank. He struggled bravely for excuses, but Bryan overruled them all. At last there seemed nothing else for him to do but to go. Sl? it it it 2? HNow for 721 Caldwell Boulevard, chuckled Bryan, as they drove away from the home of Helen Farley, the girl he was taking. t'Funny, how you remember it, growled Chick from the back seat. Oh, I have a good memory for such things. Used to memorize the telephone book, answered Bryan cheerfully. The girl beside him laughed gleefully, as though it were a huge joke. The ride across the city was a nightmare for Chick. One mad plan of escape after another flashed into his mind, only to be dismissed as futile. Finally the ear drew up before a brilliantly lighted house, set back from the road sev- eral hundred feet and approached by a walk half hidden by shrubbery. VVell, here We are, hop out and make it snappy, and Bryan seemed possessed of some secret laughter in which the girl shared. Oh, really now, Bryan---I say now, began Chick, hoping Bryan would relent at the last minute. Speed along, and don't stop to talk. Mary's probably waiting. It seemed to Chick that he took a diabolical delight in emphasizing the word t'Mary. Chick got out and walked heavily up the walk. HThank goodness the place isn't right on the street, he thought. 'illlaybe I'll get out of it yet. By jinksl why can't she break her leg? The idea came to him half way up the walk, and so astounded him that he stopped to consider. Shake a leg! came from the ear. But Chick was too absorbed in this new thought to make reply. Elatcd with what, in his frantic state of mind, seemed to him quite an excellent way out, he walked jauntily up to the door. Suddenly he stopped short- How in the dickens will I explain my being here? he asked himself in dismay. His jaunty air vanished, and, as this new bugbear presented itself, he gave up hope. Can't bluti' it through now, he told himself despairingly. Might as well take the consequences. Bryan will see them turn me out and that will make the joke better. 'I'll just -the door blew open suddenly, and the light streamed out from the hall, catching Chick as he was on the verge of flight. Not much chance of escape now, for a merry voice hailed him. Oh, there you are, Chick. Come on in-I'll only be a minute. Mechanieally Chick started up the steps, too dazed to realize what he was Ninety-two doing. At the door he stopped and raised his wretched eyes to one of the merriest, loveliest faces he had ever seen. IIis first impression was of two dark eyes that viewed him searchingly for a second, then crinkled up in the jclliest sort of smiles. Come o11 in, and she drew him in and shut the door, shutting out the sound of laughter which came from the end of the walk. Chick blinked stupidly in the glare of the hall light and tried to speak. 'tReally-really-why- his throat was dry and his tongue seemed to fill his 111outh. I'm sorry-very sorry, he faltered again, but-but you see- Oh, never mind. It 's all right, I haven 't been waiting a minute, cut i11 a voice which sounded vague and unreal i11 his ears. HI never like to bc early anyway. She disappeared into another room and left him standing there alone. His first thought was of flight, but a fleeting vision of that merry face checked the impulse. She certainly was a stunner. whoever she was, and she was expecting some one, surely. He couldn't figure out why he seemed to be expected here, but if he had an unheard-of twin why shouldn't he take that twin 's place? It was a shame to leave a girl like this one in the lureh, and maybe the other fellow had had some accident anyway. His relief at 11ot hav- ing to go back to that car alone with a lame excuse, made him bold enough to face the idea of an evening with a girl. Anything was better than going back to endure the jeers he knew would follow. This girl seemed ditlerent. too, somea how, the kind a fellow wouldn't find it hard to talk to. lVith the aid of these thoughts, Chick had raised his courage considerably by the time his lady fair reappeared. VVhen almost to the car a new difficulty confronted him. He didn't know her real name, and if he introduced her as Mary Mlalton, she would know some- thing was wrong. He might run the risk of being thought crazy and ask her as a joke what her name was, but it would be just like Bryan to blurt out, Thought you said her name was Mary VValton, and spoil everything any- way. Poor Chick! This was worse than all the rest put together. To be so humiliated before the only girl who had ever aroused his interest was unbearable. But his luck was with him again, for just then Mary was calling greetings to Bryan and Helen as though she had always known them. And, wonder of won- ders! they called her Mary. Chick didn 't seem to think it funny that Bryan had never mentioned know- ing Mary, while here they were chatting with the frank ease of old friends. He was too much relieved to find this new dragon overcome, unbelievable as it seemed. No one seemed to notice his silence on the way down town, and he was grateful for the chalice to collect his wits. Later, on the dance floor. Chick thanked his lucky stars for the dancing lessons his mother had driven him to. several years befo1'e. He couldn't do all the new steps, but he could keep time to the music at least. After a few minutes he timidly improvised a few steps of his OW11, and much to his surprise, they W01'kBd. He threw back his shoulders and drew himself up a trifle. He could dance, too, why should he worry? I like to just dance and not bother talking, Mary was confiding to him. So do I, he responded eagerly. If all girls felt this way, dancing would be simple. The situation began to seem less vague to him and strange to say. he found himself actually enjoying himself. That he. Charles Mann, should find dancing with a girl a pleasure was unbelieveable. f'Funny I should have been so scared before, he said to himself. Girls aren't so bad-some of 'em he amended, glancing down at Mary. That night as he let himself into his room, humming the tune of the last waltz, he saw with relief, Bryan was not in yet. He didn 't feel like talking it Ninety-three over with anyone, especially Bryan, who would be sure to start teasing him by telling him he had been the Hbelle of the ball. WVell, he had danced well, and the girls seemed to like to do all thc talking and didn't mind his silence, so he hadn't made such a mess of it after all. To the accompaniment of these very agreeable thoughts, Chick got ready for bed. As he put up the window a sudden gust of wind scattered thc fragments of a torn letter, which lay on Bryan 's desk. Chick stooped to pick them up and was about to toss them into the basket when his own name caught his eye. Ilis curiosity got the better of him, and, feeling very guilty, he pieced together part of a letter to Bryan. Suddenly the whole truth dawned on him, for what he read was: funny Chick should hit upon my address. It would be a good joke and lid love to do it. If you can get him to the house, I'll do the rest. VVell, she sure didf' Chick murmured sheepishly, as he climbed into bed. Hum, wish there was another Prom soon.', L. E. B. '27. Vacation The six o'clock train pulled into the station at Lake Holden at seven-thirty one cold stormy evening in January. Two raccoon coats, each containing a weary, hungry, Princeton freshman, got off the train. Following came a porter overloaded with two ukcleles, two pairs of skiis, two of snowshoes, two suit cases, four boxes of candy, and a copy of College Humorf, Well, Jerry, we're here. Yeah, dispiritcdly. I'm hungry, too, old thing. Let 's see if we can dig up a taxi. I'll stay here with the junk while you find one. This noisy reception is very promising for a hilarious vacation. Maybe! Aw, cheer up! I'll be back in a jiffyf' The jilfy lengthened into fifteen minutes, and the raecoon coat pacing up and down the station platform was becoming rather irate. But what was that deafening noise? Lo! our hero was approaching in a cutter drawn by an old horse almost completely covered with sleigh bells. The driver was violently and energetically blowing a fish horn. 'tSorry, old chap, sang out the Ever Cheerful, but this is the best the place affords. The trains are late, you know, and a bunch of people, who just arrived a few minutes ago, hooked all the taxis. Pile in here, and we'll make our entrance into society a howling success. You're crazy, Neil, but since you're my room-mate, I have to like you. Honest, though, you can't be as starved as I am. The Hotel Francis, situated on Lake Holden in New Hampshire, and pop- ular on account of the winter sports which were so prevalent there, was about three 111iles from the station. On this same evening, the guests were leaving the dining room, when there arose outside such a terrible din that many of them crowded to the porch and windows. ,- 'tIt's a cutter coming, and I hear sleigh bells, a terrible horn, a uke, and someone singing, but I can 't make out how many there are. Nor could anyone else, for, when the boys stopped in front of thehotel, they were so submerged in their luggage that little could be seen of them. To the friendly amusement of all, Jerry and Neil climbed out, seized their baggage, Ninety-four lil: 4E rand marched into the great lobby, singing a college pep song. There they ga.ve their names, Gerald Pomeroy and Neil Davis, and found the number of the room which they had reserved for their two-weeks mid-semester vacation. In their room later, as they dressed to join the other guests in dancing, the boys talked of the people they had noticed. I saw a girl, believe me! I simply have to meet her. Do you mean the little golden girl? Gee! She is all sort of goldy, isnlt she-her hair and even her eyes. Neil was fortunate that evening. He met and danced with the girl, Gaye Wilson. Such perfect bliss had never been his before, and he had known many girls. The way she looked at him made him feel big and powerful. NVhy she must like him! Gee, he'd have to see her often. Some vacation! In the mantime poor Jerry was hanging around the edge of the crowd, boiling with envy. Why couldn't the big stiff introduce him? He'd fix him! But all his explosive questions and dire threats disturbed the hard-hit Neil not in the least. For once his bubbling mirth had given place to an unusual silence. For some unknown reason, Jerry awoke early the next morning and decided to get in a little practice on his skiis before breakfast. If Miss Wilson should see how awkward he was, he wouldn't have half a chance, considering the head start Neil already had. Accordingly, a few minutes later, he was anxiously sur- veying the length of the ski track, and wondering if it were humanly possible to reach the end safely. VVell, he 'd try. A deep breath now-one-two-three. It would be glorious if only his legs didn 't wobble so. Up and down-up and down-at last the end and safety in sight. But don 't be too sure! A shrill scream from behind-a tangled mass of arms, legs, and skiis. Quickly Jerry disengaged himself, wiped the snow from his face, and saw-his golden girl. She was laughing adorably. I must have bumped into you. It was so early that I didn 't look for any one, and when I did see you it was too late. Jerry could only stare. Gaye laughed again. I'm Gaye, she said, and you're Jerry. How did you know? Oh, Mr. Davis spoke of you last night. As she spoke she started to get up, but sank back with a little cry of pain. 'tl guess I've turned my ankle. 'tThen I'll carry you, said Jerry eagerly, and forthwith raised her slight figure in his strong young arms, and started back up the long hill. The other guests were coming out from breakfast when he proudly carried his precious burden into the hotel. Neil stood and gaped while his friend passed him tri- umphantly. Jerry took Gaye to her private living room and called the hotel doctor. May I come around after he goes, to see how you are? Aren't you going out again? After I've hurt you? I wouldn't! Silly boy! Perhaps you would like to have breakfast with me here. Jerry very emphatically said that he would, and thus spent the most joy- ful morning of his life. Such bliss had never been his before, and he had known many girls. The way she looked at him made him feel big and powerful. XVhy she must like him! Gee, he'd have to see her often. Some vacation! Gaye Wilson hali a good time the following two weeks. Not that she didn't always, but two good looking men with raccoon coats are not found everywhere. Neil took her to the skating carnival, she was with Jerry when he won the ice boat race. Neil was her escort on the all-day snow-shoe hike, Jerry took her on the moonlight sleigh ride, and had his arm around her all the way. They teased Ninety-Eve GIF :I l l i l1er and played with her all day long, and they danced with her and even sere- naded her at night. Something had to happen! Neil and Jerry were becoming sadly estranged. The race ran neck and I16Ck with no visible difference until the last night of vacation. This was to be a big formal affair, and each of the boys was determined to take Gaye, for each intended to ask her the all-important question. In des- peration she was finally forced to accept a third invitation to prevent the boys from coming to blows. Disappointed but not despairing, Jerry and Neil, unknown to each other, sat i11 opposite corners of a shadowy and rather secluded living room, waiting their turns to dance with Gaye. Each, being lost in his dreams of a happy future, failed to notice a couple who entered the room, until he heard a dear, familiar voice murmuring, HI never knew any one quite like you before-you're so big and powerful. The remainder of that conversation was perfect agony for the two in the corners. There they had to sit and watch Gaye, their little golden girl, flirt with the callow blonde who was her escort, and who, therefore, took the liberty to put his arms around her. NVhat a disillusionment it was to hear her say the same things to him that she had said to them, and to see her look at him with the same adoring gaze which each had thought to be peculiarly his own! But young hearts are not so easily broken. Our friends were surprised to find themselves even a little relieved to be able to return to college as fancy free as they had left it. They had had a wonderful vacation and they had been in love. But now it was all over and both were ready to leave in the same hilarious manner in which they had arrived. Their farewell was not in the least romantic and touching. Only this: Bye-bye, Gaye. Bye, boys. D. M. '27. Fur Thirst The little fox moaned softly now and then as she strove to extract her tiny silver foot from the cruel jaws of the trap. She had struggled unceasingly for hours. At last, she lay quite still, panting heavily and looking with feverish eyes at the sky, from which a light snow was falling. She remained thus until dawn. Then, waking half-frozen from her stupor, she once more began to struggle frantically. It was almost daylight, and, somehow, instinct told her that greater danger would come with the light. It was useless to try to open those cruel steel jaws. Her leg was numb with pain and cold. Although it is said that animals do not have that human power of reasoning, little Silver Lady must have reasoned. In the end, she made her decision,-to take life at a disadvantage rather than certain death. Half an hour later, she lay gasping on the warm, blood-covered snow. NVhen she finally rose, one leg hung limply with a gnawed-off stump where should have been a foot, Ten minutes after she had limped unsteadily away in the snow, the trapper arrived. An eager look came into his hardened face as he saw the bit of grey fur. A silver fox! After looking at the now rather faint, bloody track, which led over the slope, he returned home for his dog. Ninety-six fi-is J Slowly, the little Silver Lady made her way down the slope. The leg, which had been numb before, now caused her excruciating pain. She stumbled between the friendly roots of an aged oak and lay there exhausted. In a frame house on the other side of the ravine, a slender woman in blue and white checked gingham opened the door. Her cheeks were hollow and unnaturally red, and she coughed slightly as she called, 't Here, Robin, boy ll' At the sound of her voice, a huge brown, shaggy dog bounded out and stood at joyous attention. She patted the head of the pet, whom she fondly called a collie. The tail wagged appreciatively. When Mrs. Edwards had come to the northern climate for her health, her husband had given her Robin for company during his absence. Ever since the day he had arrived in the much too small, traveling crate, she and the great dog had been the best of chums. Robin dashed forth eagerly. His prick-ears were cocked forward. VVith gay barks he challenged the wintry day. In a surprisingly short time, he had reached the other side of the ravine. His rough, thick coat, which no amount of loving brushing could make soft and fine, rendered him immune to the stinging cold. As he leaped easily along the frosty ground suddenly he stopped and sniffed the air questioningly. Several rods from him lay Silver Lady. At the strange scent, she half-rose fearfully. It was useless to try to escape on three legs. This new danger could not be any worse than those she had just experienced. She sank down again. Her eyes glittered as she watched this new monster approaching her haven of refuge. Robin advanced slowly until he reached the oak tree under which the fox cowered where he stopped, wagging his tail. Instinct warned the Silver Lady to be careful, but, for some reason, she seemed to know that this big friendly stranger would not harm her. She whimpered softly. Robin was delighted. Clumsily, he tried to show his joy that she did not repulse his friendliness. He coaxed her to play with him: but she did not move. The only sign that she gave was a slight iiickering of her ears. At last Robin understood that, for some reason, she could not come. Going over to her he gently lifted her in his mouth by the nape of her neck. Proudly, he started off across the snow, holding her in his strong jaws. Thus it happened that the trapper, returning a few hours later with his lap-cared, spindle-legged hound, received an unpleasant surprise. The track was now covered with newy-fallen snow, but the hound easily followed it to the tree. There the hunter stopped perplexed. His honest, homely face looked puzzled as he turned to his master. The trail had mysteriously come to an end. That night, the dog and the fox slept eogether in a weather-beaten shed behind a deserted cabin. The next day, Robin left her. But, each afternoon, he returned with a rabbit or some other delicate morsel to tempt the invalid 's appetite. Sk 5? if A trapper walked, whistling, along the icy ground. He had had a good day. Not many of his traps had been empty. Ile reached the end of his traplinc. Suddenly, he stood still and stared. Noiselessly. scarcely moving a twig, a fox was creeping along in the bushes. It was a silver fox! And it was walking on three legs! Scarcely two monthsbefore, he had found the empty trap. Now the fox stood poised motionless, listening. I got the clever little devil, now, he muttered under his breath. There was no escape for the fox. She was pitifully trapped between the rock and the man. Not wishing to mar the beautiful fur by shooting, he used Ninety-seven a club. Soon the body lay i11 a pitiful, little, silver heap. But the man felt no pity. He was thinking of the price the fur would bring. A huge brown body hurtled through thc air straight at the 1nan's throat. His heavy overcoat kept the dog's fangs from ending his life then and there. But the impact knocked him down. He fell on his back. The dog was on him at once. Robin had been out for his customary morning ramble in the woods. He had chased squirrels fruitlessly, but had caught a deliciously plump, white snowshoe rabbit. It was on his way home that he had heard sounds as of strife on the other side of a clump of bushes some distance away. His keen nostrils brought him the scent of fox and man. He started off at a brisk, determined trot. It took him but a short time to round the clump of bushes. At the edge of the clearing he halted. The bloody, beaten body was mute evidence of the scene that had occurred. A feeling of indomitable rage seized him. A man would have stopped to decide whether it would be worth endanger- ing his life. Robin did not think of himself. Which is just the difference between a dog and a man. Men do the reasoning: dogs, the acting. In their language, the word why? is missing. Robin sprang. The dog lunged ravenously with his white fangs. With l1is free hand the trapper drew a revolver from his pocket. Thrusting it far into the matted, brown fur, he pulled the trigger. The dog swayed and fell. The trapper staggered to his feet. ruefully regarding his tattered sleeves. His glance brightened as it fell upon the fox pelt. A few minutes later, he swung, whistling, past Robins house. Seeing slight Mrs. Edwards in the yard he called. I just shot that big brute of a collie of yours. He went mad and bit me Then he strode on toward the village with his spoil. J. H. '28 Race Horse Charlie Charlie was just one of those old southern negroes who loved horse racing and the horses the111selves. Yes, indeed, nothing pleased Charlie more than to take a fast horse out and give it a good work out, just before time for its evening meal. After the horse had broken into a good sweat he would rub it down, put a blanket on it, and then give it its evening meal, talking all the time. Yas, sum, yo shore am one lil baby, Um hum. Doggoned if yo' ain't. Them fence posts just looked persactly like one great big long board fence. Yas, indeed. Thus he would ramble on. And then again, Move yo self ovah, hoss! VVhat's dc mattah from yo? Huh? If yo steps on Charlie 's feet yo most certainly won 't dine tonight. No siree. There, that ls a nice baby. Now, go ahead and eat. Don 't wait fo me to get out, cause I ain't goin' to. No suh. l's going to stay right heah and see that yo eats with manners. Yes, sir. Ebry hoss what 's bred as fine as yo is should have the most best manners, an if yo' don 't, why lls here to see that yo learn dem real soonfi And then later in the evening :- Goo night, honey. Sleep tight, an if yo gits cold just call me, an I shore will come runnin'. Ninety-cight it-it an One 11ight about twelve o'clock, Charlie was thumping on his old banjo and humming some of his old darky songs in his old darky way, when suddenly he heard a whinnying down in the stables. Say. I jus bet my lil honey is cold tonight. Shutiie yoself down an see, Charlie. Never mind, honey, here I come. Charlie will be wif you' in a minute. N ow honey, what is-Well fo de land is sakes. Look what is here wif us. H He ran up to Mr. Thorne 's house, the, by the way, was the owner of the plantationj and began banging on the door with all of his might, yelling all the time. Hlllistah Thorne, Mistah Thorne, come down quick and look what I see. Mr. Thorne, yelled from the window, 'tVVhy, what 's the mattah, Charlie? Why all the fuss? Come and look, Mistah Thorne. The old NVingfoot done have a new baby! Yes, indeed! All right, Charlie, Iill get dressed and be down iniiiiediatelyf' A 'tYas, Sah, Mistah Thorne, and I's right down and keep the lil rascal warm. Come on, Charlie, git on yo hoss. NVhen he reached again he found that the little colt could hardly move. It seemed very weak. Then Charlie saw its legs. Lawdy, child! Yo shore is the funniest built lil thing I ever did see. Yas, indeed. Them legs ani like bean poles and long enough to be yo manimy's. Is yo cold. honey? Vlicll, well, well. Now you just be quiet while Charlie gets yo a nice big hoss blanket. Ulu, hum. A nice big hoss blanket for a lil child colt. Then Mr. Thorne arrived. He was very much displeased with the new arrival and said to Charlie, NVell, there's one thing, Charlie, you won 't have to bother training that horse to run. You just work with the other two colts, Charlie. Theyill make real race horses, but not this one. You don 't have to look twice to see that. I shou1dn't have bred the mare in the first place. I wouldn't have if it hadn't been for you. XVell, you can see now you don 't know much about horses, can 't you? VVell, he does look kind o' sad, but then they 's always a chance. No, not this one, Charlie. That 's too plainly to be seen. I'll say good night, Charlie. NVe'll talk more in the morning. Goo night, lllistah Thorne. And then-- Yo poor lil rascal. Not much good, huh? W'ell, maybe we'll fool 'em all. Can't never tell. Still yo do look mighty funny, lil hoss. Yas, indeed. Them legs aint right a-tall. Two years had passed. The three colts had grown to be almost horses. The fake had been named Fake by Charlie and Mr. Thorne. Almost every day Mr. Thorne had to have Charlie out for paying too much attention to Fake. and not enough to the other two. Charlie had rubbed Fake 's legs every day and had sweated and worked with hiin tirelessly. Another year passed. Every body was in excitement because of the coming Derby race The fastest horses that had ever participated in a. race were scheduled to run. Two days before the race Mr. Thorne brought a short lightly built man to the stables and announced that he was going to ride his favorite Blue Nose in Charlie's place. Now of course any other person would have been very much hurt. But not Charlie! No, sah! He was very much pleased and said 'tThat's all right wif me, Mistah Thorne. Now, I can ride Fake. Charlie, you 'll do nothing of the kind. You 'll ride Swift for me. But, Mistah Thorne, that Fake hoss can shore run. But Mr. Thorne, who had not even watched the horse run or even seen him for two years merely rejected the thought. It sure was a tough break for Ninety-nine 51 C. E 4 Charlie. For thc last two years Charlie had kept Fake out of Mr. Thorne's sight because that was his wish. He had said he never wanted to see him again. At last the big day arrived. Crowds upon crowds flocked the grand stands. The betting was runnning high. The final announcement was taking place. Entries by Mr. Thorne, Blue Nose and Fakefi Mr. Thorne was in a rage. He knew exactly what had happened. Charlie had changed horses on him. lt was too late now to stop him. The horses were already lined up. Mr. Thorne looked through his powerful glasses at the horses. There was that Balky entered by Mr. Thomas. Indeed he was a great horse. He seemed almost perfect. Could his Blue Nose beat him? lf not, he was sunk. Yes, even bankrupt. All he possessed was bet on this race. lt meant either winning a fortune or losing one. Then he saw Charlie. But! VVhat a horse he was riding! And then HThey're off! A great boom issued forth. coming from thousands of throats. Look at those horses go! There was Blue Nose and Balky out in front fighting for the inside rail. Ah! Blue Nose gets it! The half mark is reached! Blue Nose seems to be lacking something. Yes! he was! No! he wasnlt lacking anything except that Balky was too fast for him. He was beating him out. The two thirds mark is reached. Balky is a whole length ahead of Blue Nose. Mr. Thorne was almost in hysterics. And then-look at that horse come! lVho was it? He seemed to be passing. The one eighth mark is reached. The unknown horse had pulled up to Blue Nose 's side. Then past. Now only a length behind Balky Then through the dust, Mr. Thorne could see that it was Fake! Only a hundred yards to go now. Fake and Balky were neck and neck. Only fifty yards to go. Then a final spurt and the race was over-Fake winning by a whole length. He ran away beyond the finishing point before he could stop. Then he turned and came prancing back. VVhat wonderful action! VVhat perfect motion! What a wonderful horse! Mr. Thorne pushed his way through the crowd to the place where Fake came prancing up. Charlie was grinning from ear to ear. Get down off that hoss, you old black devil. Charlie jumped off. 'tFrom now on you're 'Race Horse' Charlie and I say before the crowd that Race Horse Charlie knows more about horses than any person in the south. As for me. I'm an old fool. That night Charlie took care of Fake as usual, talking all of the time. He was just the same as ever. Then later, when he had tixed him for the night, you could hear him plunking very softly on his old banjo and his old darky voice singing those old darky songs in his old darky way. P. B. '27, One Hundrer! Who N Carwell, a mining town, lay at the foot of a long range of rugged moun- tains. The town had been founded, or rather the first coal mine had been dug in the mountain-side, about thirty years before. So Carwell now numbered about five thousand people, mostly miners, who operated the seven shafts which were sunk in the mountain-side. Miners were seen everywhere, either going to 01' coming from work, at all times of the day. Two things would make an impression on the mind of a stranger: the atti- tude of the miners that the mine was their God, that the great breaker which overshadowed the town was his symbol and that they must Work, work, work to get all they could out of it, for was not the mine their master? and secondly, the ugliness of the town with its dirty, unkept. unpaved streets, and long rows of dirty, little red-painted company houses, a general store, saloons and gambling houses, one little wee church, and last, but not least, a ragged weed- grown cemetery on the out-skirts of the town. At the time of this story there had been a cave-in in Number Four Shaft, and fifty-four men had been imprisoned in it. On the day of the cave-in an old man was seen walking down the middle of the main street. He was dressed in black and had an immense black slouch hat. He walked, steadily the full length of the street and back again. He walked for nine consecutive days, and on the ninth day the rescue squads succeeded in freeing the imprisoned men, but there were only forty-five who came out of the shaft alive. Nine men had died, one dying each dayg the rest recovered from their harrowing experience. To the townspeople this was just another event in an otherwise commonplace existence and nobody connected it with the daily appearance of the old man dur- ing the time that the men were entombed, for you may understand happenings of this sort were not infrequent. The town resumed its regular routine all through the long hot months of July and August. Everything was parched in the terrific heat, but still the men kept coming and going, going and coming through the heavy clouds of dust which were blown down the dirty street by the hot breeze. The mine was pros- pering. During the last few days of August the heat increased and the old man was seen, dressed in black, head bowed and black slouch hat pulled down over his eyes. You would see something like this. if you could watch him without having him disappear-a man who would have been extraordinary tall if he had stood straight, with broad square shoulders on which his coat hung as though on a rack, and as if there was nothing between them and his long dangling legs which ended in immense feet. His face was long-extremely long- and leang skeleton in its leanness. His nose, if it could be called a nose, was a half seen bony projection which left a large shadow in the middle of his face. His eyes looked like red hot coals which had burned their way deep in that immense skull. Ile walked those streets for four days and a person died each day. Then it rained. VVith a refreshing rain came a change. The rain cooled it offg these daily deaths ceased, and the Old Man disappeared. The only one that seemed to have noticed him during those four terrifically hot days, was Frank Ross, the Postiiiaster, and he noticed that the Old Man was seen only on those four days of death. This puzzled him and aroused his curiosity so much that he decided to follow him the next time he saw him. His chance came a few weeks later when he saw the Old Man with black slouch hat pulled down over his eyes, head down. Ross noticing him through one of the windows in the postoffice, put on his hat and coat, left his clerk in charge and went out with the intention of One llunnlred One I following the Old Man. As he stepped out into the deserted street no one was to be seeng the Old Man had entirely disappeared. Ross returned to the post- 052106, muttering to himself and puzzling over this sudden disappearance. A few minutes later a man burst into the postotiice with the news that the body of a man had just been fished out of one of the big oil tanks which were located at the edge of the coal company property. That gave Ross a curious idea. He had noticed something of the strange character of the Old Man's face as he went by the window. He decided to see what happened the next time he was seen. In the meantime, he tried to find some solution other than the one he had already formulated, for the baffling for so it seemed to himj appearance of the man who would be extraordinarily tall C if he stood straightj 9 the man with the black slouch hat, broad square shouldersg the man with the long lean face and shadowy nose. Nothing happened for two weeksg the mine continued its routine, its activity and its prosperity. NVhen one warm Sunday afternoon in early September, the Superintendent of the mine decided to take a walk-a very common-place and natural decision on such an afternoon, but nevertheless a very unusual thing for a man of the Superintendent 's type. Ile walked out toward the edge of the town and incidentally toward the cemetery. As he reached the edge of the cemetery he saw a bent old man, dressed in black with a black sloueh hat pulled down over his eyesg a man who would be extraordinarily tall tif he stood straightj, and if he could have seen it, a man with a long lean face and shadowy nose, coming toward him. As the queer figure passed him he felt a strange diz- ziness and pitched forward on his face. The Old Man kept on going. A few minutes later, he was seen in the town. Ross saw him and wondered. The next morning the Superintendenifs body was found outside the cemetery. At the inquest which was held on Tuesday the coroner pronounced the cause of death as heart failure. That night in one of the saloons, Ross announced to all present that the town was haunted. He was greeted with loud laughter by everyone except a few to whom he had been talking privately a few minutes before. A few days later he was found dead' in bed and the Old Man walked the streets again. Then some one ventured to say that he thought what Ross had said was true, and he was going to get out of town as soon as he could. He too, was greeted with a loud laugh, but it wasn't so seofiing a laugh as that which had greeted Ross. After that the people became surcr that the town was haunted. The mine ceased to be prosperous. The men in the saloons talked in hushed tense tones as though they were waiting for some calamity to fall upon them. People moved out every day, and those the company brought in to carry on the mining work left after the first week or two of listening to the stories, which the frightened imaginations of the people who were leaving the town had concocted. Slowly the people left the town, looking back as though something were following them. The mine began to fail, for the fame of the haunted town, as it was now called, had spread far and wide, and workers could not be hired for any amount of money. The people kept pouring out. The Old Man was seen again. This time he appeared a little more bent, more skeleton like and he seemed to be shaking with silent mirth. Also, another man was found dead. Carwell. bereft. of most of its population, was like a child without a mother- lost. There were only a few hundred inhabitants left and these were leaving. Just two months after Frank Ross' startling announcement in the saloon, every inhab' itant had left the towng every place was emptyg no one was to be seen in the streets of what a few months before had been a prosperous mining town. After that announcement the rumor had taken root and spread like a eontlagration in a dry forest. A few weeks after the last inhabitant had left Carwell, one cold November Une ll undred Two E1 - - E Q' .C afternoon, a stranger who had heard of the Old Man visited the town and walked the empty streets. He thought of what the town had been and what it was now and wondered who or what it was that had caused such a complete evacuation. The question K'Who'? seemed to form on his lips, but the only answer that he got was the bleak moaning of the wind in the bare tree tops, which seemed to echo his unanswered question Who? P. M. ,28. Charmine My beautiful, my beautiful That stands so meekly by WVith proudly sleek and arched neck And dark and fiery eye.- Arabian Nights. A bay in color, five years in age, with a velvet wine-glass muzzle, and alert, slim ears. Her body and legs are of the Artist Model type and her movements of the Poetry of Motionu. Isn't she smart on her feet? She wings slightly, but of course that can be remedied. Her sire, Montgomery Boy and her dam, Indian Summer, had that same fault at the beginning of their career as the greatest pair in the saddle class for twelve years. She has a light mouth and a curb bit would be too severe for her. My prospective buyer and I retired to the Club House and had a bitc of lunch and a 'tcup o' cheer that goes with a transfer in horseflesh. HI want to tell you an interesting story, said I over our glasses. Last summer while out in Nineva County, a thousand miles from nowhere, I saw this horse running in a field of about one-hundred acres. The people about those parts called her an outlaw. She, at a very early age, had been taken hold of by the army for the officers to ride. After having thrown off' three officers and seriously injured one of no little note she was sent back into pasture and classed as an outlaw. Her owner was anxious to be rid of her but warned me of her tricks and told me precisely that everyone had branded her as a colt never to be tamed. I took her and shall never forget the trouble of catching and shipping her-she was like a musician-so temperamental. But I schooled and schooled her, slowly but surely, and now she stands before you a gentle, smart thoroughbred with a knowledge of hunting and a little steeplechasing. ' ' HI just must have her right away. Now I can't do without her-she's a wonder, said the buyer at the end of my discourse. A settlement was made and Charmine was shipped to Long Island for steeplechasing and placed under the master hand of McFinty. His name bespeaks volumes in the horseworld. He has been heralded in England on the steeplechasing iield. which is an honor only in keeping with a mighty man with a cool, steady mind and hand and makes him the ruler of any outlaw, brazy or nervouse-high strung horse-the horseman of the field. The season started and, although not making a record of perfect, this young horse, practically green to steeplechasing, stood well on the ladder of ascendency. That's what makes the horse. The one who never goes back- wards and although slow she gradually takes the bit more and more conti- rlently in her mouth and goes straight ahead. One Hundred Three Els 5 1 There is one time on the field when competition reaches its height, when all the famous, wellknown hunters compete not to step aside to the younger, unfamed, unheralded f'greeny and give him that ever coveted prize of winning the steeplechase with a performance of not a tick, and first out. Such a day came when all were assembled at the paddock for the run. Horse sense is attributed as being more feasible than humans so it is needless to say that each horse felt that it depended on him and his sagaeity. After the announcement of the day 's feature and its prize, the horses, with their riders up, impatiently stamped and fretted their way to the line-up. The five minutes sounded-and then before one knew it they were off down the course. Across great meadows and fieldsg over wide, deep ditches, over jumps that after you were over you wondered how you did it, now galloping as you never went before, yet holding her just a little for the last lap, still keeping your own up frontg in and out of the pig-pen , over the f'brush , jumps with ditches about ten feet wide, over the Liverpool and away again. Here a glimpse of a horse rounding a bend, there one jumping, and through the trees could be seen good sports Who had come 'fcroppers . Accidents, falls, runaways, but now all the fortunates came head and head with another competitor and a third horse at their heels, down the hill to the brook at a terrific pace. They seemed almost to falter at its brink. With a mighty effort, but still within herself, my ideal cleared it. Her competitor landed with her front feet on the bank and her hind feet in the water. The third horse swerved in taking the jump, peeked on landing and lost his rider. This gave the wonder Fharmine three lengths of a lead on the other onrushing horses. Some of the credit for this wonderful performance must be given to Mclfinty who training with hands of steel yet of satin placed her in an almost winning lead. Out of the infield, onto the main course, and now for the home run they came. Oh horrors of all the horrors! she swerved wi.de on the turn which puts her to the outside of the course on soft footing with the others close to the rail with each and every one making his mightiest efforts to keep his hard won place. From my position on the lawn it looked as if all were lost, as you know when standing in a direct line with the oncom- ing rush it cannot be determined who has the lead. The thoughts that ran through my mind were many, that uppermost I would give kingdoms upon kingdoms to have her back in the lead again. In another instant she had swung in close to the others and was now on even terms with the appar- ently leading horse and within thirty yards of the finish. At less than half that distance, with a supreme effort and bound, beautiful Charmine was under the wire by a nose, in response to those Wonderful hands of steel but yet of satin . She had responded to their asking. E, C. ,28 Rising Sun H Jerry Perkins was just a little country boy of Kentucky. Ile was only twelve years old and had an ugly little freckled face, but Jerry had hopes of some day becoming a famous jockey This day in April he trudged home from school with his little terrier HRex at his side. Jerry hated school. He hated everything in life but his mother, horses, his dog, and the dream of being a jockey. One llu lulred Four E .E , h Jerry's mother kept a boarding house for jockies during the spring, summer, and fall months. Nearby was the famous Mr. YVilson's horse ranch, and Jerry spent all his spare hours with the jockies a11d horses. Mrs. Vlfilson was well paid for taking care of Mr. Wilson's jockies and she treated them all as her sons, but little Jerry was her idol. Hello, Ma ! Jerry called from the walk to his mother. Hilome up to the house, Jerry, I have a surprise for you,'l called his mother. Jerry's steps quickened--he came up, kissed his mother as she hurried him into the kitchen of the huge, old white house. There, in the kitchen sat Jackie VVills, one of the most famous of Mr. VVilson's jockies, and always the first to arrive at the boarding house. Jcrry,s face brightened, as Jackie came and patted him on the shoulder. How7s our Jerry boyg still hoping to be a jockey? Gee! Yes! Jack, can I go over with you to train this year? VVait until you,re older and have linished school, Jerryf' Aw! I hate school! Your horse HBeauty is great, Jack. I go over to the stables every day that ma'll let me, and I'm going to have a horse like that some day. That week the rest of the jockies arrived for their opening training season, and little Jerry sat enraptured as Ma Perkins, the jockies, and he gathered on the porch in the evenings and each fellow told of his own adven- tures of the past winter. Mrs. Perkins loved all these children. Yes! She called them all her dear children and she loved horses, but she did not want her boy to be a jockey. His father had been a jockey and had been killed on the race track. Jerry went to the training quarters daily, and sometimes he was allowed to go around the track with one of the old horses, which none of the jockies would ride. Old Rising Sun had been a. handsome horse in his day on the track and the best of his time, but now he had grown sluggish and had been take11 out of training. Thus, Jerry was permitted to ride him to his great delight and much to the amusement of the jockies. Each day training for the horses and jockies became harder, and each day Jerry became more in lovc with old 'fRising Sun. With his knees pressed against the saddle and his thin body crouched on the horse. Jerry would go around the track time and gain, whispering kind words into the horse 's ear, patting his side, and each day 'tRising Sunn gained speed and became more handsome. All the stable men were surprised at the change this freckled face boy had brought about in the old discarded horse. It was now the first of July-just another month to train before the big race. Say! Kid! Come here! called .Ioe Rodgers Cone of Mr. VVilson's big menj as Jerry was taking Rising Sunw to the stable one day. .Ierry went over to the crowd of jockies around the stable. Say! IIow'd you like to ride in the big race next month? questioned Joe. You-you mean I can ride? asked Jerry. VVell! I was thinking if you 'd like it, answered Joe. 'LGee! Jerry muttered and just looked at the crowd for a minute and then grabbed .Ioe's hand and shook it hard. '!Gee! Joe! I can just see me making Rising Sun!! go around that track. Then he turned and went away. L'Joe, he thinks you mean it, ventured one of the boys. One Hundred Five E1 JE FF-F n- f'Let him think it,', answered Joe, who was a little frightened at Jerry's ignorance. f'VVe'll make a real joke of it now. That night Jerry broke the news to his mother, who couldn't quite believe it, but didn 't want to discourage her boy. She knew the jokes those fellows played sometimes--but surely not on her boy. Jerry trained faithfully and each evening he tried on the little blue and white striped suit his mother was making For him-those were Mr. Wilson 's colors. Just another week until the race! The boys all worked hard, but a few of them seemed worried as they saw the little boy train faithfully, and they hated to disappoint him in his one dream. Mr. NVilson arrived to-morrow, then all would be fixed. The odds were now 5 to 1 for '4Yellowstone , the horse Tim Corgal was to ride in the race. Mr. VVilson was delayed and didn't arrive until the day before the race. Jerry eagerly told his story of how Joe Rogers had promised him to ride in the race. The sport king's face clouded, and he though hard for a minute. He hated to take away this little boy 's only dream, but it meant a loss of money to him, perhaps, to have Jerry ride one of his horses, and besides the boy hadnlt a license to ride. But he'd show those jockies and Joe a thing and let them know who owned the Wilson stables. Yes! Jerry would ride, no matter what the consequences. Then he smiled kindly at Jerry. Yesl You 're going to ride and ride to win for me, Jerryf' Those words gave Jerry new life and a determination to win. That evening he went to the justieels ottice to get his rider's license with Mr. Wilson. This procured, he went home, thc happiest boy on earth, and eagerly showed it to the jockies on the porch. Joe Rogers held it in his trembling hand for a minute, then he looked at Jerry and said, That was all a joke-me telling you that you could ride, kid, but I guess you ride anyway. That night while Jerry lay awake in his little room he heard the voices of Tim Corgal and Joe Rogers conspiring in the next room of the boarding house. You get all you can out of 'Yellowstone' the first lap of the race, Joe said, then let her down easy and let Granger's 'Boone' get ahead. VVe'll win for sure that way, Tim. All your money and my money is in it now, and Granger knows the scheme. You let him get the inside of the track, and you and I'll be rich and get away before VVilson gets on to the scheme. He 's sunk because that kid is hopeless with that old nag, 4' Rising Sun . I've got all the dope, now, Joe, Tim answered, and we 'll win.'l Jerry didn't sleep that night. He wanted to tell the scheme to Mr. Wilson but was afraid. But when Mr. VVilson showed him that he had bet a large sum on URising Sun it made Jerry more determined than ever. The little boy went to the stable and talked affectionately to his horse, but he was excited and as he saw the crowds gathering at the track, he became still more nervous and excited. UMa Perkins kissed Jerry as he came into the kitchen'in his blue and white suit and riding boots. Now, son, watch the inside of the track, and I know youlll win. I wish your Pa could see you now. I hope you have his good luck. I've bet on your horse. VVhen Jerry reached the track the other jockies were already there, One Hundred Six ' l l l l l 1 1 l I , l I 'Q fi'-L are and as he mounted Rising Sun he saw Tim and Joe shake hands, and then he felt sick but rode onto the track with the rest. The crowd of sport loving people laughed as they saw the little thin figure on his horse, but in an instant the betting was turned to his favor. Something in his appearance aroused their sporting blood. The horses lined up. Jerry whispered kindly to his horseg adjusted his small boots in the stirrups, got a firm hold of the bridle, and crouched low on the back of his horse. Then-the bell rang out and they were off! Yellowstone,' easily kept the lead the first lap, with Rising Sun fourth. Then in the second lap 'tBoone got to the inside and gained the lead. Jerry watched UBooney' and then he gained the inside and on-on up past Yellowstone . Boone still ahead in the third lap! Then Jerry crouched,-whispered to 'tRising Sun , and gained steadily until he was neck in neck with Boone with f'Rising Sun on the inside. Granger tried to squeeze the small figure out but eouldn't. Then-as Jerry rode close to the fence on the inside, he felt something snap in his ankle and groaned, but on ahead was a clear track and he came to the realization that he was in the lead of the race-but his foot had caught on the fence. Then he forgot his pain and urged 'tRising Sun on. Suddenly as in a daze he saw the grandstand and the crowd cheering madly. He had won the race-Jerry Perkins had won for Mr. Wilson and for himself. He had beaten Tim and Joe. As the crowd surrounded t'Rising Sun Mr. Wilson came through the crowd and shook the hoy's hand hard. Then the judges placed the laurel around the winning horse's neck. Then poor little Jerry gave a groan of pain and fell from the horse. The next he knew he was at home in his little bed with UMa Perkins, the doctor, and Mr. Wilson at his side. Just a broken ankle, he heard the doctor say, he'll be better soon, no need to worry. Then Jerry looked at his mother and Mr. Wilson and smiled. Gee! Mr. NVilson, I'm glad I won for you, he just whispered. 'ISO am I, Jerry, and here 's something for you. I'm giving you f'Rising Sun as a gift for your courage, and you're a real, true jockey. We caught Joe and Tim at their scheme and have them in jail. You're a real sport, Jerry. And with that he left the room. Gosh! Mal I knew I'd have a horse of my own some day and be a real jockey. And with that he closed his eyes and went to sleep dreaming of f'Rising Sun. S. E. H. '27 Pat Gets His Man In the snow covered region of North VVest Canada lay the little trading post of Yacha Bunsa. The post was composed of four or five log cabins and served as the outpost of the Royal North VVest Mounted Police. It was to this body that Pat O'Brien belonged. Pat was a powerful, broad sliouldered Irishman. ln age he appeared to be about twenty-five and, despite his reddish colored hair, was lacking in One Hundred Fc-vein wigs l 'T' that noted characteristic of redheads, a fiery temper. During his stay of five years at Yaeha Bunsa he had worked faithfully in the service and had several times distinguished himself in getting his man . Thus it happened that Pat now stood before the desk of his commanding officer, Sergeant Sweeney. '4Pat, said Sweeney, after a moment 's hesitation, Hlast night the post of Jacques Hornsby was entered, his house plundered, and Jacques, himself, was left cold and dead on the cabin floor. The murderer has made good his escape. There is no clue, except thisf' The sergeant held up a dust covered board. On it was the imprint of a four toed foot. After examining the evidence closely Pat lowered the board and spoke the single word, l'Angus . That was my opinion also, replied Sweeney. t'Can we prove it? HI will try to solve it and will get the guilty man, if it is at all possible, stated O'Brien with grim determination. At these words Sweeney arose from his chair, grasped Pat's hand, I knew you would take the job, my boy, and I feel that you will succeed. Hold ever foremost in your mind the first unwritten law of the Mounted. iGet your man' l Pat left the room with tears in his eyes. Slowly he made his way through thc snow to his own cabin. Here, seated before the large open fireplace, he had a chance to arrange his plans, to start tracing the life of the murdered 111311. Jacques Hornsby, the dead trader, was a half-breed. An Angus on his mother's side he inherited from her all the fierce impulsive habits of her people. His father was a Frenchman, skilled in the arts and life of the northland. He had been a fur trader before his marriage and had continued in his trade after his marriage to Jacques' mother. It was rumored that he loved a, maiden of the Angus race. During his trips to her home, Jacques incurred the wrath of the Angus braves. This arose from the fact that a full blooded Angus looked upon any white man as his inferior. Jacques was only a half-breed. His mother had brought disgrace to her people. The next thought that entered Pat's head was the marked peculiarity of the Angus tribe, that there were only four toes on their foot. The footprint on the board was four toed. The murder must have been committed by an Angus. The next day saw O'Brien arise with the dawn, cat a hearty breakfast, pack provisions on his dog sled, and set out from the trading post. At noon, he had covered twenty-five miles, which was exceptionally good speed for that time of the year. At three o'clock in the afternoon he had reached a little log cabin, called by the whites, The Angus Outpost . Soon after, the snow began to fall and, in half an hour had turned into a snowstorm. The velocity of the wind swept everything from its pa.th. Indeed, had not the cabin been sheltered by a protecting wall of rock, it, too, would have followed iu the path of trees and underbrush. Pat was forced to remain in the cabin for two days, after which time the storm abated. On the fourth day he arrived at the Angus settlement. Marching boldly down the street, ignoring the dangerous glances of the natives, Pat arrived at the chief's home. He was admitted at once. which showed that the news of his coming had preceded him. As his eyes became accustomed to the darkness, 0'Brien discovered a fine H undred. Eight Eh: ai group of me11 gathered at the opposite end of the room. These formed tjwo lines. He passed betwee11 them to reach the chief, who sat on a high ench. Pat observed with a feeling of satisfaction that this chief had always obeyed the law a11d had ever been a friend to the Mounted. He was regarded as absolutely impartial in his judgment. What brings you here, began the chief. Pat replied without hesitation, telling his story from the beginning and stated that he was here to take back the murderer. Do you know him? Is there any clue? questioned the chief, watching every move that was made. None, except that he is one of your tribe. Will you help me find him? VVait, I will find him if he is here. You know that you can trust me. An Angus never breaks his word. Thus ended the inquisitiong Pat was then dismissed. Six days later Pat was again standing before the desk of his commanding oflicer. In a room below, the confessed murderer of Jacques Hornsby was confined. Once again Sweeney began the conversation. Pat stood at attention but the chief motioned him to a chair beside the desk. f'Before we hear your report of the capture, I would like to read a letter from our office in Edmonton, said Sweeney. 'fHeadquarters R. N. VV. M. P. Edmonton, Canada December 21, 1920 Sergeant Sweeney Yacha Bunsa Post Dear Sir: I was very much interested i11 your former reports concerning the exploits of Private Patrick O'Brien, so that it seems appropriate at this time to reward him, not only for his past services, but especially for his daring feat in the Jacques Hornsby case. We hereby confer on Patrick O'Brien the rank of Lieutenant-Sergeant and order him to take charge of the Yaeha-Bunsa post. Yours truly, Horatio Lucas Commanding Officer R. N. W. M. P. But, but, where will you go? demanded Pat. I don't want your job. Never fear for me, Pat. I have just received the appointment of assist- ant to Mr. Lucas at Edmonton. I have also accepted it. Now, tell me how you caught that redskinf' Well, began O'Bricn, it was this way. When the chief dismissed me, he called a meeting of the tribe At one end of the room he placed a large boxlike affair and covered it with skins, so that no light could enter. On one side was a door. Next the chief called his people around him. Before their eyes he mixed a thick grease, which he melted on a fire. He then placed the cauldron full of grease in the boxlike affair. Turning to his people the chief spoke of the murder at Yacha Bunsa. NWho is the guilty man?'y he asked. No one replied, One Hundred Xinc W I l The chief then said that he had called the Great Spirit to aid him, that o11e by one the Angus people must pass into the box, and dip their hands in the grease. The gods would kill the guilty personf' But, how would that determine the culprit? demanded Sweeney. Easy enough, was the reply. VVhen the guilty one entered the box he feared the punishment of the gods. He did not put his hand in the grease. His hand contained 110 grease. His superstition had betrayed him. The chief saw his clean hand and forced a confession. That is how the Angus chief trapped the slayer. If by chance any of my readers venture into North 'West Canada, they might stop oif at Yacha Bunsa to hear the story as Pat alone can tell it. Pat, by the way, is now a full Hedged lieutenant in the Royal North NVest Mounted. You can 't keep those red heads down. W. D. '27 ane Proves a Piece Maker Jack sat there, staring discontentedly into the tire. NVhat could have hap- pened to Jill? Why this sudden unfaithfulness? Jack could find no explanation. Surely this was not in keeping with Jill-ever faithful Jill. Always they had been the best of friends, XN'hen, as children, they had played together, he had taken the role of Prince Charming, she had acted as the Princess Fair. Many times, dashing to her rescue on a beautiful white charger, he had killed the fiery dragon and saved the lovely maiden from certain death. Now, when they had reached high school, he had continued to act as Prince Charming, and escort his Princess to all the socials and plays. The time for the annual Senior dance had arrived-and Jill was not going with him! That afternoon, while going to the locker room after basket ball practice, Bob had come up to him. Say, what's this I hear about Jill's going to the dance with Bill? he had said. VVith Bill! Jack could 11ot understand. The idea that Jill would go to the dance with any one but him had never entered his mind. In fact, he had been soconfident that he had neglected asking her. That very morning he had determined to put aside this formal detail no longer, but to ask her that night. And now, to find she was going with Bill! Yes. I bet she likes that big car Bill has. Bob had continued his teasing. No, that isn't like Jill. She would be just as well satisfied in my old Ford as in Bill 's big ear. Jack had been quick to defend his Princess. Deciding to discover if what he had heard was true, he had called up Jill. 'iJill, will you go to the Senior dance with me? No, Jack, I have promised to go with Bill. Her voice was so cold that it seemed 11ot to belong to gay and warm-hearted Jill. Then she had hung up. She had offered no explanation, no reason. Surely it wasn't because he had not asked her. for always he had taken her to the school dances, and this would be no exception. No, that was not the reason. Yet, what could have happened? It seemed a hopeless question. Still puzzling over the question, Jack got up and went to bed. Perhaps tomorrow something would occur which would clear up the mystery. The next morning Jack failed to meet Jill and walk to school with her, as was his custom. He discovered later that she had left earlier than usual. How- ever he did meet Bill. After greetings were exchanged, Jack asked: Bill, when did you ask Jill to go to the dance? Me? Let 's see. I asked her on Monday. VVhy? One Hundred Ten the +5 Oh, I was just curious. I asked Jill last night, and she said she was going with you. I thought it rather odd, because she usually goes to the dances with me.', J ack wished greatly to discover why Bill had asked' J ill. HI was rather surprised myself, Bill said frankly. You were-What? Jaekls amazement was ill concealed. Surprised when Jill said 'Yesf You see, it was this way. Jill is a nice girl, and we fellows got tired of your monopolizing her attentions continually. I thought I would ask her to go to the dance. At least she could do no more than refuse. I asked her Monday, and she promised that she would go. Let me tell you I was glad. f'lVell, here is my locker. So long, Bill. Opening his locker, Jack took out his books and went to his room. Almost instinctively he glanced over to where Jill sat, surrounded by her girl friends. She did not look his way. yet he felt that she had seen him enter, Her face, he thought, seemed more flushed than usual, but perhaps that was due to the cold wintry wind she had encountered on her way to school. He reached his seat and opened his book to give one last glance over his lesson. Nothing unusual happened. Jill spoke to him. but the frank and under- standing friendship that had formerly existed was at an end. As the days passed by with no explanation, Jack became more and more accustomed to the new circumstances. Finally he determined to take Virginia, Jillis best friend, to the dance. At last the day of the dance arrived. The committee had completed all preparations and everything was in readiness. The night was wonderful to behold. A light snow had fallen in the after- noon, and the flakes sparkled like diamonds under the bright moon which hung in the sky like a large yellow ball. The air was clear, and a tang of frost filled it. Jack came ratting down the street with Virginia, driving the Ford about which Bob had spoken so teasingly. Once, when new. it. was a car that one would have been proud to owng now, rusted and broken, it seemed ready for the wrecking yard. But it took Jack where he wished to go, and that was all that was necessary. Soon all were assembled in the hall, ready for the grand march. As they entered, two by two, a beautiful scene greeted their eyes-one that well, reflected the efforts of the committee. From the ceiling hung many brilliantly colored balloons. Streamers of crepe paper draped about added a touch of beauty. In a corner on a platform was the orchestra, playing a gay tune. Baskets of flowers placed about thc room seemed to transform the scene into a fairy land. The next day was one of horror-for the teachers. But for the Seniors it was one of good cheer. No one had his lessons prepared, but what did that matter, for it was the day after the dance-and what a dance it had been! Then all seemed to resume its former gait. Students who, a week before, were very much excited, settled down, and school life went back to the same routine. In the same way the friendship of Jack and Jill was renewed. Jill offered no explanations and Jack asked for none. He was perfectly content to resume their former relationship. One day, soon after, he received an invitation to a skating party to be given Saturday on the small Atmore creek, which ran through the outskirts of the town. He was to take Jill and meet the group at the Ainsworth home before the short walk to the creek. By two o'clock the group had gathered at the meeting place, and they set out, laughing and shouting merrily. Soon they reached the creek. Here they put on skates and began to skim over the ice as swiftly as birds. The day was perfect for skating. The air was cold, but a large fire had One Hundred Eleven been built near the ice, where cold hands or feet could be warmed. A few of the :Eaters fvere grouped around the fire, but most of them were skating about on r e eree 4. Toward the close of the afternoon, as Jack was skating with Jill, they heard a noise behind them. Turning, they saw -lane lying Hat 011 the ice. Jack rushed to her and helped her to her feet. Jill came over. t'Are you hurt, Jane? she asked. UNO, I think not, Jane answered, laughing at her mishap. 'fHow did you fall? Jill continued her questioning. There was a small stick embedded in the ice back there, and I must have fallen when my skate caught on that. Jane, here is a note that fell out of your pocket when you fellf' Jack handed her a notc which he had picked up from the ice. Jane took the note and looked at it in surprise. Then she opened it. Hav- ing read it, she laughed and handed it to Jill. Jill read it, flushed and handed it to Jack who stood, surprised at this silent drama. He took the note and read it. This is what he saw: Dear Marie Z-Iilll going to the Senior dance with Harold. I guess almost everyone is paired ot? now. Jack is taking Jill, I suppose. Indeed, can you imagine-. At this point the note ended. A jagged tear explained what had happened to the remainder. VVhy show this to me? he asked. XYhy, Jack! Canit you see that part of it is torn of'f?i' Jill said. Yes, Yes, I see thatf' Jack 's voice sounded impatient. NVell, I found the bottom part of that note in the hall before the dance and picked it up, intending to put it in the waste paper basket. I was just throwing it away when your name caught my eyef' My name! The surprised tone in his voice could easily be detected. t'Why, yes. '-And what did the note say--I mean the piece you found. Jack's curiosity and surprise was increasing. I can tell you exactly what it said. The words were: 'Jaek's taking Vir- ginia to the Senior dance' AKBIIP77 Don't interrupt me. Ytlhen I saw that I guess I was angry. Then, VVll6l1 Bob asked me to go that same day, I said yes. I was even too proud to ask Virginia if it were true. May I see that note again, Jane? Jane handed him the paper. Jack seized it eagerly. Let me see. You said you read, 'Jack's taking Virginia to the Senior dance., Oh, I have it. Jane said, tCan you imagine Jack's taking Virginiaf and you thought I was taking Virginia instead of you. Yes, tl1at'S it. But how did the piece get torn otf, Jane? Jack was intent on receiving all details. VVell, I finished that note just as the buzzer rang. and somehow or other the end tore off when I was gathering up my books. I took what was left and folded it and thrust it into my pocket. The torn portion must have caught in the folds of my dress and fallen to the floor in the hall. Yes, but you still have the note. Didn't you send it?,' No. I saw Mary at her locker, so I told her. Then I must have taken it from my dress pocket to my sweater pocket. aI1d left it there. Just like careless Jane. She even forgot the question mark. VVith a laugh Jill started off, with Jane in close pursuit. A. H. '27. One Hundred Twelve l +5 A Retreat I found myself a quiet nook Halfway on a wooded hill, Beneath me was a. lazy brook, Above, a road ran to a mill, long deserted and idle. The laurel bushes in full bloom Hid it from any outer viewg The sun above kept out the gloom, And inside ferns and mosses grew around a single trunk. So often to this mossy bed, I came to read and be alone. Nearby a dainty redbird fed, IVhile the other sang in sweetest tone, a-telling of his love. This place in Autumn months was bare, And winter found it like a tomb: In summer :twas not half so fair, For it 's in the Spring that laurels bloom and blossom White and pink. J. C.

Into my room she came At early dawn this day. With many nods and smiles She beckons me to play, And as she is my queen I willingly obey. So over hill and dale With Springtime and her I gaily dance with joy, And sing the hours away. train A. B. C. '27 One Hundred Thirteen E4 fa-1.1 One Hundred Four Nip and Tuck Once I had two little dogs, Their names were Nip and Tuck. No matter where I went with them, They always brought me luck. Nip was colored white and brown, And Tuck was brown and white, The size of each was just the same, Their difference was in sight. Because you see Nip 's eyes were blue And Tuck's were green as green. Such specimens of canine eyes Have never since been seen. One day as I was walking, I heard a little cry. Nip barked and growled, Tuck growle And straight on both did fly. d and I followed swiftly after them, And soon I found my dogs, Trying to pull a little child From 'neath two fallen logs. The child had climbed upon a pile, And down it slipped beneath her. My lovely dogs, my Nip and Tuck Were trying now to save her. Ah! never were there two such dogs, I loved them as none other. Until Nip died, and then Tuck died A-mourning for his brother. C. D.

But there comes to me a sadness, A longing I cannot define. There seems to be something missing, Something that should be mine. But l've only a vague idea Of what that something should be, NVhen from somewhere out of the distance A song comes floating up to me.

The goat owner took the tax assessor to task in vigorous Irish fashion. VVhat do you mean by taxing my family pet at four dollars, or any other sum for that matter? That is strictly according to the statutes of Florida in such eases made and provided, responded the assessor. Show me, demanded the indignant owner. The assessor thereupon took the statute pertaining to taxes alld read to his bewildered countryman, All property abutting and abounding on the pub- lic street shall be taxed at the rate of two dollars per front foot.
