'l'hat is why she is sueh a. popular member of the elass, and why she is so beloved hy those who know her. Louise exeels in dana-ing' and never lacks at partner. ln faet, her mastery of the art is exceptional. We hope she will dance her way 1llI'0llQ,'ll life as happily as she has throufrh sehool. liouise is clilligent in her studies, too. l3l+1T'l'Y BISHOP Iietty is easily identified in any erowd hy her horerl expression. Never- theless she takes an aetive interest in all the soeial affairs of school life, where she is niueh sought after hy those wishing a really ra.vis'hing:,f dancer, as well as a, good-looking partner. Her heart seems to have been lost outside of school. We expeet to see Hetty's name and picture all over the society columns before long. R0lSl'lR'l' IELAUKW lflllll Robert is noted not only for his curly loeks tlike a. Greek Gomllsj but for his ability as well. Whether taking the part of the father in The Goose' Hangs High, playing a trumpet in the oreliestra, or editing the Sewihi, his aehieve- ments have heen remarkalmle. llis heart is apparently still his own, but there is a wa rm plaee in it for the new Ford. NVell, Bob, sueeess' to you in the aviation field, and may your days above this earth be long. WILLIAM BOGGS William is very tall, dark, and serious-looking. That is, he is serious- looking when his spontaneous smile is not being brought into play. He is really quite a silent fellow. One of that strong, manly, taeiturn type whieh the girls adore. Perhaps they admire his strikingly dark eyes and hair, too. Vtlilliam is usually smiling or studying, both of' which eommendable traits add to his ability to make a worthy member of the Senior Class. Sixteen l F I I i i William Boyd Marie Brush Phoebe ifainpfbelil Jane Connelly WILLIAM BOYD Another Williani- hut the fellows call him l4ill.'l He is one of our very hantlsomest Seniors, You know. .Xnd of course he has lost his heart to a pretty -lunior. Hill makes a good liatin student when he isn't smiling across the aisle. Among his other pleasures are football and tennis. sports in which he makes a. valuable player. Bill also blows a trumpet! He is one of our happy-gro-lucky members. who. for some reason or other, causes Mrs. Peterson a great deal of anxiety, hut his cheerfulness makes for his personality. MARIE I-ERITSIT Marie is a very. very quiet little lass-even when she laughs she really doesn't create any disturlranee. She is quite petite and pretty, with light hair and lilne eyes. Marie is also very dependable. always ready with her lessons. She is truly a shining?-ligrht in her Latin class. Her quiet ways do not detract from the pleasingness of her personality. l'HOl+Il5ld CAM l'l1l+ILL l'hoehe's activities have ln-en mostly outside of school. lnit you may he sure she has kept very husy. She is a model student and has been a great help to the slow ones in all her classes hy reason of her helpful criticism. The latest rumors are that a certain Junior is making Phoebe's heart do tricks, but it is not at all surprising: Well. l'hoel1e. continue your pleasant ways and we arc sure you will find a place in the hearts of others just as i11 ours. JANE CONN li LLY The little spare in this hook is11 't half enough rooin to write about Jane. She is Social Uliairinan. President of Girl Reserves, a memlwer of the tennis team, and a million other things heside being our most popular girl as she was voted in her Junior year. Jane has participated in many of our school plays, taking the part of the leading lady in The Goose Hangs Highfl Seventeen 4 lu I L Ernest Cook Stanley Cook Al Czillinger Frank Czillinger ERNEST COOK Ernie is a little fellow with a sunny disposition. One of his chief faults is a tendency to talk in study-hall, but at least he has the commendable ability of obtaining: listeners. Ernest is earliest when it comes to studies. lle seems to enjoy performing experiments in f,lllCIlllSfI',V. Perhaps it is a good thing to have sueh a name to live up to. ls it, Ernest? At any rate, the bearer of this name makes at pleasing member of the elass. STANLEY COOK Jiekles is our athletic star. In football. basketball, and baseball he is most. prominent. Ile was captain of the 1927-1928 team when it was the ehampion ot' Sem-tion 2 of the XV. P. l. A. ll. -lic-kles is one of the most popular fellows because he is always so happy-go-lucky. You can always find him at any social, for he is quite a good dancer, too. AL CZILLINGER Al always seems to have time for the ladies-a new face, a new fancy-it seems. If not on a date he is surely to be found at the HY. Al has been quite an active member in footballg if not aetually playing, he was managing. He has certainly been a help to our teams. FRA NK CZILLINGER Frank is known throughout the lligh for his wit. What would we do without him in Law elass? Frank was helpful to our team this year as an End. Though small, he certainly was a drawback to our opponents. He was one of the stars on the well-known Aemy team, i Eighteen - 1 1 1 - - 'YH Jane Doughty Helen Einrnert Dorothy Famous William Gray JANE DOUGIITY Jane is a. most attractive person. one of her ehief characteristics being a generous friendliness. She is a very comfortable sort of person to have around, because her smiles are frequent and impartial. Her tongue is exceedingly active in a pleasant, jolly way. Jane's reading ability, as demonstrated in chapel on several occasions, is very praise-worthy. HELEN EMMERT Helen likes the boys. and the boys seein to like her, so all goes famously. Helen has a charming personality. which adds greatly to the attractiveness of the Senior personnel. One of her charms is her low well-modulated voice. Helen hasn't yielded to the popular fad of letting the hair grow. but she probably knows how her pretty, short hair becomes her. DOROTHY FAMOUS Doti' is the smallest member of the Senior Class and one of the most active. She is a live reason why the Senior girls' 'basketball team won so many games. She has taken a big part in the Comet Club. and is Society Editor for the Sewihi. lVe don't know what her man would do without her. NVTLLIAM G RAY Another NVilliam,-another taciturn Senior! If it is true that the silent people are the wise ones, our class is truly blessed with wisdom. Bill Gray rarely talks Cat least in sehooll, but nevertheless he has shown that when he does con- deseend to give an opinion it is quite worth-while. lt seems that his rather handsome profile has won some admirers among the girls of the class, and no doubt his deep bass voice adds to his attractions.

Twcnty Anthony Henrici Arthur Hitc Franklin Hiteshuw Dorothy Jetter ANTHONY HENRICI Anthony, the Sonny Roy of the Senior class, is distinguished by unruly hair, 'tbook larnin and a poetic temperament. The ease with which he masters his lessons makes him a constant joy to teachers, and his friendliness and good nature have endeared him to the student body. His activities are numerous, and his affairs of the heart more numerous still. ARTHUR HITE If you have ever wondered as to the identity of that handsome blonde on the gym team whose specialty is to juggle small boys. you will know 'it's Art,' Hite. Arthur seems not to take much o an interest in girls, but you never can tell about these women-haters. Pirtle Drums It Inn was his first starring vehicle. Arthur has also been a great help on the football team. FRANKLIN HITESHE W Frank is known for so many things that it would tax the capacity of Dr. Eliot's Five Foot Shelves to include them. Perhaps he will be best remembered for his wit, and genial hmnor. One must not forget, however, his talent as an artist. Indeed, so excellent is his ability in that line, that it has won him notiee in newspapers of this locality. We won 'r soon forget his ability in acting as displayed i11 Crabbed Youth and Old Age and in K'The Goose Hangs High, DOROTHY JETTER Dorothy is a quiet girl who. nevertheless takes an active interest in school life. Dorothy made her bid for fame this year when she represented Sewickley in the oratorical contest. She studies a lot and never causes the teachers any annoyance by not knowing her lessons. She is generally seen In the company of Ella. Twenty-one Olive Johnson Gle11n Kautz George Kuilpers John Lutz OLIVE JOHNSON Olive is one of these rather quiet kindg at least she tries to aet digniiied as a .senior ought to be. Latin is one of her hobbies, and the other is to run an race with the tardy buzzer. She is a member of our most successful Glee Club. Then, too, we must not forget to mention her Lab teehnic. GLENN KAUTZ Have you ever seen one of Glenn 's drawings ? lf you haven't, you have missed something. All these mechanical devices, aeroplanes, and so forth, are quite complicated. The girls were all running after llllll. when they found out he could make the cutest dogs out of pipe cleaners. GEORGE K UI PERS Everybody knows when Georg'e is around because there is always a lot of fung he's so entertaining you know. He was the successful captain of our foot- ball team, and an active basketball player. But you ought to hear hint play the fiddle, just like a regular Nero. JOHN LUTZ Have you ever gone to John to find out how to do a ehemistry problem 'Z If you haven't. you 're the only one who never has. Lately he has been wearing a strange ring on his finger. We wonder whose it is? One can never keep track of the boys any more, They are always trying to be like lVillia1n Haines. Twemyftwo Mzirgzuet Magee Marie Maze Mildred Maze James McCracken MARGARET MAGEE Now Margaret also appears to be a quiet type, but they tell me when she is out of school there isn 't a peppier girl. Oh these girls do fool us sometimes. She is an active member of the famous S. H. S. Comets, and she was also a senior basketball girl. MARIE MAZE lVe will always remember Marie as the twin that isn't Mildred. VVho can keep tl1e1n straight and who ever saw Marie that she wasn 't all dressed up head to foot? Marie was always a little bit shy, but perhaps it pays to be like that for she always got good marks in all her work. MILDRED MAZE Meet the other half of the Maze twins. In ease you ean't tell one from the other, the wisest plan would be to get a teacher to help you. Teachers seem to be the only ones who can distinguish between them. Mildred is a happy sort of person who studies avidly and is usually able to answer those questions that everyone else misses. JA ME S MCCRACKEN Jim is our elass's Beau Brummel. Look at his picture! Is there any wonder the girls fall for him? He is President ot the Hi-Y. where the famous potato episode took place. Jim is one of our trumpeters in the orchestra where he often drowns out the others with his musical notes.

Her Versatility is shown by her aetive interest in all phases of school life. LOUISE NEELY Louise was the initiative and capable Chairman of the Graduation Pom- mittee, Viee President of the Girl Reserves, and a former member of the Student Council. And we l1ll1Sll11l forget her hobby, cooking a11d sewing. Oh those cakes and dresses that she makes! She drives a ear and makes whoopee with a good looking Senior. Don 't B like that. Ql'll say he does.D ALEXANDER NEVIN B is noted for his raven locks, untamed by comb or brush, and l1is laugh, which can be compared to nothing human. I-le is a welcome addition to any group because of 11is piano-playing and good-uatured wit. lle is usually seen in the company of a fair Senior who apparently reeiproeates his affection. MTLDRED OHLMAN lllildred is one of those girls who find it hard to get to schooi on time. Not that she is ever late-she always manages to make a. dignified entrance just a few seconds before the tardy bell. Mildred is a happy sort who islalways ready to see fun in soinethinfl. She is very fond of dancing and is much sought after as a partner at the Socials. Twenty-live 1 1 W 1 i 1' I 1-Q I Betty Pollinger James R. Reno Virginia Riehardison John Rosenfeld BETTY POLLINGER Betty is another one who finds attraction amongst the Juniors. She is always cheerful and has shown herself an excellent Program Chairman for the Comet Club. Busy Betty found time to play on the Senior basketball team this year and did right by the Senior elass. Betty likes Packards too, at least it looked that way, for she arrived at school de luxe many times. JAMES R. RENO James is one of those few who ean be relied upon to carry out instructions. lle has been right hand man to the Student Couneil in maintaining order in the halls, and most of ns have Jinnny to thank for that last minute jogging-'lp that makes the difference between tardiness and being on time. The football team will lose a valuable linesman in James. VIRGINIA RICHARDSON Virginia is a tall, statuesque blonde with a happy disposition and a eontinual giggle. She won quite a bit of renown for her excellent basketball playing a11d for her fine characterization of the eldest son 's fiancee in The Goose Hangs Highf, Virginia is full of the old Niek. JOHN ROSENFELD John is better known as Izzy around the sehool. It took four years to prove to John that he who speaks last in the elass room is sometimes out ot' luck. John has proven himself quite the athlete having been interested in both the football and the gym teams. Kuipers used to like to go riding with John, but he doesn't any more. Twenty-six H - - , l Anna Siekeler Mildred Smith Marie Steup Ella Stewart ANNA SICKELER Anna is our musician. YVe could scarcely do without her piano accompani- ments, especially as she performs them for the Senior orchestra. She is also the .stand-by of the Girl Reserve meetings when it comes to music. No doubt she will make a great success in a musical career. Anna also shows exceptional ability in a scholastic way, receiving high marks in all her subjects. Her will- ingness to cooperate in all things makes her quite popular. MTLDRED SMITH S1nittie, or Big Smittief' as her friends call her to distinguish her from her younger sister, is usually present when a good time is pending. She is well-received, particularly because her excellent dancing is not the least of her attractions. lt is rumored that Smittie'l is interested more or less in Fair Oaks. MARIE STEUP You will always find Marie near by if you happen to sec Ethel. NVho has said that all truly great friendships are between men? Yes. her initials are M. S. VVha.t else do those letters stand for, Marie? Marie is studious, but also gay. a11d she makes an enjoyable companion as many of her classmates know. Marie played forward and guard on the basketball team, exhibiting splendid ability. ELLA STEYVART Ella is one of our petite misses. A little lass from Canada. They do say. you know, that Canada is noted for its beauties! Besides her prettiness, Ella possesses an indescribable, elusive quality, which attracts all with whom she comes in contact, and which makes for a rare personality. Twenty-seven I 1 i r t I- i l l 1 I l S Hthel Vinall Naney Walters Martlla Watson Nant-y Watson E'l'Ill'1L VINALL lflthel is one ol' our jolliest' girls. ller laughing is strangely eontagious, and it aeeounts. in part. for her ability to attract friends. Ethel exeels in her eom- mereial studies, being one ot' the really excellent students of the class. She by no means ignores sports. the faet being that the Senior girls' basketball team relied ebiefiy on Ethel for several erueial weeks. And another of her interests is aeting, in whieh art she has proved herself most adept. NANCY KVA L'l'ERS Nant-y's speeialties are attracting the boys and driving a Cill'. llowever, we tear she is not as proficient in the latter as the former-witness her parking. Sho endeared herself well taking the part of the mother in Just Neigliborly' and the snappy eollege girl in The Goose llangs llighf' MARTH .X 'WA 'FSON Although Martha is older than Naney, the two really do look enough alike to be mistaken for twins. Martha has the sunny disposition so eharaeteristic of the Watson family, whieh, along with her other eharming traits have won her a great many friends among her classmates. Martha has never done anything spectaeular. but it is the consistently good workers that suceeed. so we expect a great deal of you, Martha. NA NC Y NVA TSON Naney apparently likes Sewielcley very well for she eomes quite a, flistanee to go to sehool here. She is very quiet but can always be depended upon to take an enthnsiastie part in any undertaking. Naney is a source of joy to the tear-hers, for she never eanses any disturbanees and always knows her lessons well. We hear that Naney does not laek male companions either-how about it Nancy 1' Twenty-eight. 4 l i 1 I I i 1 L 1 I History of the Class of '29 DErENsE z If your honor please, Gentlemen of the Jury, this case is brought against the Senior Flass of S. II. S. for the purpose of compelling them to sever their connection with the High School by graduation. I will endeavor on behalf of the Senior Class to tell why this should not take place. For four long years this Class of 1929 has been leaders of all activities of S. H. S. In 1925 they entered as Freshmen and immediately their spirit was notice- able. It first made itself heard through eight of its number joining the orehestra. During the four years this number has been increased to ten. who now constitute the volume of the Senior orchestra. These ten have been its life savers. Next we hear of them through the weekly Oracle, our class having produced in '28 an editor-in-chief who has brought the Oracle to heights hitherto unknown. This wonderful class has not only excelled in music and literature as above stated but has a.lso furnished the artistic features of the Sewihi for the past four years. The Class of '29 has not only not. been surpassed in music, literature, and art but has supplied good sound business managers for the Sewihi and other school activities under their supervision which is without parallel in the annals of S. H. S. The Class of '29, however. has not confined activities entirely to more serious phases of sehool life. They have also become renowned in the field of athletics. The manager for football in '28 was a member. and under leadership of a captain of this class produced a football team that excelled all teams of recent years. It furnished three members of the basketball championship team of '28. But time does not permit me to enumerate in detail the varied accomplish- ments of the several members of this class in drama., debates. social. activities. such as our well known sleigh rides nor to relate the story of their most marvelous Junior Prom, nor to present for your admiration all their sage advice and extraordinary ability in the decisions on the weighty problems confronting Student Council such as proper punishment for chewing-gum addicts, and establishing the marathons around the football field for other more serious offenses. I, therefore submit to you. Gentlemen of the Jury. that you should weigh carefully the matter of allowing such a distinguished class to pass from the walls of the S. ll. S. Many years have gone' by since the establishment ol' S. H. S. and in all those years S. II. S. has only p1'oduccd one class of 1929 and I submit to you, Gentlemen of the Jury, that when this class passes beyond the walls of S. II. S. there will be no other 1929 class to take its place. It may even endanger the morals of the teaching staff of the S. II. S. by taking from them so much pep in every line of activity at one time. I. therefore ask you to weigh carefully the question submitted to you before making your decision. Plaintitfs Speech 011 Page 94.

The Senior Council, presided over by the President of the Senior Class, John Mt-Elwain. discussed and settled many of the important questions which came up during the school year. Vice President Blackwell was in charge of the meetings several times, and Nancy Walters, secretary-treasurer, kept the regular record of the meetings. The Junior Council oliicials were George Purdy, President, Eugene Fels, Vice President, and secretary-treasurer. Bradley McC'or1niclc. Mr. NVinne acted as advisor for the Senior Council and Miss Ruth Simpson for the Junior Council. Meetings were held every Monday by the Senior Council and every Tuesday by the Junior Council. During the first semester interesting lectures were given under the man- agement of the Student Council. An admission fee of ten cents was charged and with the proceeds left after paying expenses, socials were sponsored in the gym, the Alumni Social being' the biggest and most enjoyed one. The Junior Council held a very pleasant mid-semester social. The annual Clean-Up Campaign was again carried on by the Councils in an attempt to encourage Sewickley High School to win the cup offered by the local Kiwanis Club. The Council members sincerely hope that the next year's Councils will carry on their work and feel that the results will be worth their effort. l-'orty-three I l 1 1 The Oracle 1 , -M '1'111s yvnr 01' 15128-151251. il1l011lt'1' stuff I'9llli11Ill'll 001151819111 10 the 1111511 s1:111c1:11'11 s1-1 111 1'01'111e1' yvars. 11911 by Allflllllly 111'lll'11'1, who 11115 svrvecl ably as 1-11i101'-111-01111-1' 1'01' 111'0 yP2ll'S, 1110 stuffs 11'01'k011 1'z111'11ful1y nt 11111 task 01 filling 1 . , 1 11011 1IlU1'1' 1112111 1110 211111 il 111111 1101- 11-ss than 01111 111111 il 112111 00111111115 111 '1111 111-1-11111. 1'Iv1-1-y W1-1111vs11ay 21f11'l'l1001l, 21 lmzzingr 01 voicvs I1l1gl11 llilVk' 11111-11 1I4'i11'1l -1851111111 13111111 1100111 204. 1901- 21 111110 at 1111- 110g1nn111g 0f The y11a11', ihings 111-111 illthllgf il 11'i1'11- ,ja-1'k11y, as 0111- l'11g'111t' was 1101 yot lJl'0li01l 111.

I A i' X The Sewihi Comets The Sewihi Comet Club, a commercial institution, initiated into our high school last year. was reorganized this year. The election oi' ollicers resulted with Ethel Vinall as president. Thelma llacker, vice president. Marie Steup. secretary. and Esther Nardo, treasurer. To assist these officers several committees were appointed. The Chairmen of these committees were: Social Committee. ltldna Clayg Progrrain Committee. Betty Pollingerg Publicity Committee, Dorothy Famousg and Flower lfommittee. Catherine Dempsey. At our meetings, held every second Friday. talks, discussions, demonstrations of ottice appliances, and plays were given. All our meetings tended to prepare us for the business world. One interesting feature this year was the Comet a paper issued monthly by the club members. The Comet staff consisted ot' Mildred Smith. ltlditorg Margaret. Magee, Assistant Editorg Genevieve Hrawley and Nancy H1-ttig, reporters. This paper contained articles on business routine and commercial subjects. class news, drawings. and jokes. Besides our business meetings. we have also had our social hours. We enjoyed a wiener roast, parties, a Mother's special day. and a farewell banquet for the Senior Comets. The work of this year has been very successful. and we, the Comets. wish to thank Miss Thomas, our well liked Commercial teacher, for her gruidance and leadership which has so greatly helped to launch this activity on its way.

This year the oreliestra is quite large and is p1'0,Q'l'l'SSlll,f.I heautifully under The direetion of Mrs. Egolf, whose devotion, interest, and untiring work make possible an orelu-stra.

The season 's work, however, was handicapped by the absence of our director, Miss Stewart. ln spite of this, practice went on regularly, Miss Layerzopf acting as leader during Miss Stewart 's illness. NVe missed our trumpets, for this year's volunteers included no trumpet- ersg some members couldn't stand the paeeg others exhibited an inclination to be lazy about bringing their instruments to practice: but Mr. Conway succeeded in reviving the bunch before it was too late. Consequently the Junior High Orchestra, was giving excellent performances before the end of the year. The complete orchestra. boasts seventeen members. They and their instru- ments are: Violins, James Doughty, Stanley Fowler, Jamles Fullman, Elmer Lauf, Timothy Merrill, Elizabeth Mauro, Virginia Payne, Ronald Scott, David Vllalkingshaw, Edward XVilloughbyg mandolin, David McConnell, alto horns, Joe Gariti. Clement Molinarog clarinets, Santa Porto. Samuel Lanzarottag trombone, Richard Morrow, pianists, Alan Morrow, Gordon Ponting. The following members will leave next year: James Doughty, David McConnell, David NValkingshaw, Richard Morrow, James Fullman, Timothy Merrill. Samuel Lanzarotta. Santa Porto, and Elmer Tiauf. This year the orchestra benefited from special violin lessons. Perhaps that was the cause of our success, but it was probably due to the fine work of our directors. Forty-seven i 1 i Girl Reserves and Hi-Y Althou,-:sh they are institutions of the Hewickley Y. M. F. A.. the Girl Reserves and the Ili-Y are a, detinite part of the school life of many ol the students. 'l'hey are both clubs where the intimacy of a small group permits the formation ot' many friendships, the participation in many activities. and the possibility ol' a beneficial study of ideals. 'l'he Girl Reserves were under the supervision and leadership of Miss Millen. Miss Kerr, and Miss McPherson, while the boys were directed by Mr. Pope and Mr. Mace. Both clubs met once a week for discussion and a general get-iogetlier. and twice during the year they enjoyed ,joint meetings in the way of dinners, the clubs alternating the duty of host. 'l'he Girl Reserve Club was active throughout the year. indulgringr in dis- cussions and social events. The most interesting activities included a cabaret. dance, a. Mother and llaughter dinner, a. bazaar, and several enjoyable parties such as the swimming meet and the Kid party. Discussions and talks dealt with the varied problems of the modern girl. and included the question ot' personality. religion, and ideals. 'l'lie lli-Y Club was l'ortunate in the speakers whom they entertained. Among these were lice Frank, former Pitt football captain, Dr. Vlfelday. who directed discussions concerning character study, Dr. Odell, and Mr. Diehl. who ftave an interesting outline ot' his trip through the l'ana.ma Canal to California. The club sent a clelesation to the l'i'e-College Conference in Oil City, and were well represented at the Coraopolis conference. Fort y-eight Stage Guild Our very efficient Stage Guild is composed of Donald Slem. -lohn McCann, Bernard Meyers. lieu Meyers. Parker Berg. Roy Clark, Joe McDonough. -lack Haley, -lack Heffron, Paul Balles, Dick Morris, and Herman Beck, Manager. For the benefit of the new members. classes were held in which tho lmoys learned the fundamentals of stage 1-raft. In addition to these instructions, the guild visited the Stanley and Pitt theatres te learn the funetions of a theatre and to see a guild in action. Our guild is inclitspensahle for chapel progranis and plays. The boys are quite aecoinplished along these lines, and we certainly appreciate their elforts to make our produrtions a success.

As he is an expert gymnast himself he is very well Qualified to instruct pupils in this branch of recreation. To fully aid the boys in their earnest endeavor, gym equipment was purchased, and every time one looked a boy could be seen swishing' througrh the air on the trapeze rings or landing' on his head in an attempted back-flip, Programs which were presented in chapel and after school included: a clown dance, tumbling. a sword dance, a square drill, and some pyramids. The athletes composing this team were: Robert Hamilton Ceaptainb. Edwin John- son, VVilliam Janosik. Jack Humphreys, James Reno. Arthur Sheats, Ross Mech- lin.

N a+....................., - The Goose Hangs High BV Lewis Beach Scwickley High School has again run true to form in producing a play of high class both in regard to the type of play produced and the successful dramat- ization, For the Public Speaking Department chose Iiewis Beach's The Goose Hangs Highf, and presented it in due season-April ll and 12, This was the most important of the year 's presentations and one of the greatest of the scnool's achievements. The plot is concerned with the problem of a modern mother and father, endeavoring to cope with the new ideas of their children of college age. Mr, and Mrs. Ingals are the type of parents who sacrifice their own desires and even comforts in order that they may give their children the very best that college can offer. From all indications the younger members of the Ingals family are typically gay, flippant and disrespectful. While Lois and Bradley are home for the Christmas vacation, their father is forced into such a position that he must either give up his political career or keep it under the rule of a. tyrannical boss. Hence the financial condition of the family is so impoverished as to prevent the twins from going back to college. Mr. Ingals, thinking always of his children, regrets his action, and tries to withdraw his resignation, while his wife is deeply disturbed at the situation. Here is the crisis of the play,-the triumph of modern youtiii The children rally nobly. They belie Grannie's sharp sarcasm,- The Goose Hangs High in this family. Yes, the youngsters meet the situation with their heads np. They get positions for themselves and help to reinstate their father, and the lngals family is happy in understanding love. The cast was admirably competent, Robert Blackwell, as a middle-aged business man, was quite dignified and impressive. Jane Connelly made a most sweet mother and wife. NVhile the Tngals children, as portrayed by Nancy Mfalters, John McElwain and Frank Hiteshew, embodied all the characteristics of the younger generation. As for Granny, Margaret Hennessy adapted herself perfectly to the character. The twins and Granny atforded much amusement in their respective outlooks on lifeg the family as a whole something of pathos as they struggle with their problems: and the entire play a great deal of human interest roused in connection with a realistic test of characters. Most sincere recognition is due Miss Rush who directed the play. The High School orchestra under the splendid leadership of Mrs. Egolf, ably assisted in the presentation.

These were the annual mid-year plays, given for the benefit of the Sewihi. The acting was splendid, and to name any one in particular as having done exceptional work, would be impossible. All praise is due Miss Rush, the director, whose hard work made the success possible. The orchestra, ably directed by Mrs. Egolf, also deserves much e1'edit for the quality of the music produced. The singing of the group of girls was a pleasant addition to the program. After a selection by the orchestra the curtain rose on Pirtle Drums lt Inf' a comedy depicting the efforts of lllr. J. F. Pirtle, the big drum magnate of Pirtle City, to obtain harmony among his employees, and at the same time to prevent his nephew from falling in love. Most quarrels arise because people do not understand each other ! says Mr. Pirtle, and when any friction arises between members of the force, Mr. Pirtle gives them the afternoon off to talk matters over. Oh what a surprise he had, after having sent his nephew and his stenogra- pher to the beach for the afternoon so that they may have less friction between them, to learn at the end of the afternoon that they had taken advantage of the opportunity to get married. George McDonald played the title role, John Carson, the nephew, and Nancy Jean Myers, his bride, while various employees were represented by Wilma llunter, Dorothy Famous, Betty Pollinger, Margaret Hennessy and Arthur llitc. There was quite a contrast in the next play, 'tJust Neighboriyf' which took us into the home of Ezra and Adna Carr. This aged couple lived a life of drudgcry, brightened only by the hope that some day their son Vyron, whose father drove him out of the house in a fit of anger, would return to them. Just as the village gossip has told them that there had been a daring bank robbery in the neighboring town of St. Johnsburg, one of the robfbers having left the town in an automobile on the come-back road leading past the Carr's house, there comes a letter, apparently from Vyron, telling them that he is coming home. All is happiness until the village gossip notices that the letter is from St. Johnsburg. She begins to implant her suggestions in the hearts of the old couple, and when the expected man arrives he finds, instead of love. an atmos- phere of distrust and suspicion. Because of this distrust the young man leaves the home, and at the close of the play the audience is in doubt as to his actual identity. Charles McConnell and Nancy Walters took the parts of the tjarrs, Kathryn Gregg was the village gossip, and John Melillwain the young man. Again the tone of the plays changed. The third, 'tffrabbed Youth and Age, was a comedy giving not a definite plot but a situation. We find three attractive young girls, played by Garnet Douglas, Rachel Merrill and Charlotte Merz, telling their lnother Edna Clay, that it is scandalous that she should be so much more popular with young men than they are. The mother tries all evening to prevent the young men from pursuing her. But they, as played by Herxnan Heck, VVilliam Hallam and Frank Hiteshew, continue to make love. All seems in vain, and the girls are in despair as the curtain falls. Fifty-tive I 1 l 1 i I 1 Wi EL- ..- FE Glee Club The Glee Club was organized and all ready for business early in the school year. On Monday afternoons in September if one happened to pass by the anditorium during activity period, he heard shaky little snatehes of song and slow, quivering seales-only the poor, young SOPEOIIIOYTS having their voiees tested! On several oeeasions during the year solos, duets, quartets and choruses eomposed of Glee Club me nbers entertained us in Chapel. These numbers were mneh enjoyed, and proved exeellent' examples of the splendid work being done in the music departnient. The eantata Rip Van NVinkle was ehosen to be presented in publie, and everyone set earnestly to work in the endeavor to make this production a sneeess. And for the danees we are indebted to Miss Copeland, who so willingly gave inueh ot' her time in teaehing those trieky little steps.

With on.y three letter-men from last year team,-Captain Kuipers, Hamilton and AlUl,il'iU'k9ll, with no letter-men i11 our line, we produced one of the linest teams our lligli School has ever cheered on to victory. ln only one game were we decisively beateii,-that with Bellevue. In all others, public opinion declared us superior to our opponents. The season started with a bang out at Crafton. This was our first victoiy in two years and was the first time Crafton had ever been beaten by our squad. Hopes were high for the Union Township game, but stiff opposition 'brought a tie score. Then followed the hardest game of the season-the Beaver game. Sewick- ley put forth a Hue tight down there. Only- the lack of a goal kicked beat our team. Then came our one bad defeat--Bellevue beat us 12-U. Many things led to this defeat. All our men had been nervous and on edge, for reports came out on the morning of the game and a number of the fellows feared F's. This may have been the cause. However that may be, Sewickley was outplayed, outclasscd and absolutely beaten. lVait till next year! Then we came back to life with a bang. Ambridgc, Cory, Avalon, Doi-mont and Ben Avon all came, saw, and were conquered by monotonously one-sided scores. ' Thus ended this season. Next year we 're counting on an equally good team, for we have four letter-men as a nucleus to build on. After the season the Elks Club entertained the Coraopolis and Sewickley letter-men at their annual banquet which many of the Pitt and Tech stars attended. To Mr. XVinne, our head coach, to Mr. Thome. who coached the line, and to Stanley Cook and Allan Czillinger, our managers, we owe thanks for their ability at coaching, conditioning and caring for our team. At least thirty per cent of the credit for our success goes to them. 1 The substitutes deserve great credit for producing spirit and ability to win in our regular team. Thanks are due to Critchlow, Chubb, Janosik, Johnson. McConnell, Mechlin, Nevin, Slem and Shannon for their excellent work on the second team. All but Mechlin will be on the field next year to make another record for Sewickley.

Under Mr. Winne they practiced faith- fully, however, and fought for the scl10ol's glory as loyal supporters should. After losing every contest it would seem that the spirit of the players would be broken at the close of the schedule, but they nearly defeated a very capable team near the end, and would have but for an untimely decision of the officials. Nevertheless, the season was not a failure as the squad was composed of Juniors and Sophomores-with the exception of one Senior who have received much needed experience for succeeding activities. The squad was: George Mat-Donald, Managerg Captain, Robert llainiitong Edward Brennan, Paul Critehlow and Parker Berg. forwardsg John Alellanri and Herman Beck. eentersg Walter Nevin, George Kuipers and Edwin Johnson, guards, all of whom except Kuipers will return to assemble a winning combination for next year 's aspirations.

They have been made mueh mole a part of the students' aetivities and have been an expression ot' tl1e personalities of the student body. This has been aeeomplished by letting the student ehoose his own subjeet for literary production. In addition to student presentations we have enjoyed erlueational movies and oeeasional sp:-et-lies. One of the outstanding: features was an exhibition presented by our gym team under the eareful direction of Mr. Winnef' Another most entertaining: feature was a display of John Xlallaet-'s ability in the art of magic-. This program was quite as mystieal as that of a professional magician who entertained us at one ot' our ehapels. One week the Junior Iligrh arranged an enjoyable program for the Senior ehapel. This included a dramatization of Longfellow 's Childrens Hour and a group danee. These are only a few ofthe year 's produetions. but they represent the interest and enjoyment whieh eharaeterized our weekly ehapel periods. This full and varied program was led throughout the year by students ol' the Senior elass, and was assisted splendidly by our orchestra under the hue leadership of Mrs. Egolf. Socials Our soeials this year were Very peppy. With Mr. Winne's help our Soeial Committee presented several novel afternoons. For those who daneed we had our own orchestra. for those who di-I not danee there were eharades and games, and for everyone there was fun-need more be said? Hi-Y and Girl Reserve Sleigh Ride The winter weather this year certainly did not go unheeded. On -lanuary ninth, a crisp, eold, white night. the Girl Reserves and lli-Y fellows took a long sleigh ride over the Heights. There is nothing so invigorating: as a. ride in the snow, and we felt the full benefits of it. We returned to the Y. M. tl. A. after snow-balling and tumbling about in the snow for an hour. there to find delicious sandwiches, cookies and bot eotfee to warm us up. There, with the musie of a radio, we daneed and sang for the rest. ol' the evening. This ride eertainly made up for those we we1'e unable to have last year. Sixty-four 1 I The Junior Prom The Junior Proni this year was one of the finest ever held. True to the Junior spirit. everything was carried out in the inost modern fashion. The Dorian Hall was decorated with black and white. the Junior colors. in an ultra-modern design. Against this background of triangles and streamers the girls' lovely dresses contrasted beautifully. The Town Tattlersu furnished the lively music which set us to dancing. An interesting feature was the naming of dances in honor of the teachers. The program included: 1. Grand Rush 6. Koehler Caper 2. Hubble Hobble 7. Egolf Glide 3. Clelland Clog 8. Irons Toddle 4. Peterson Pranee 9. Thomas Tango 5. Copeland Canter 10. Conway Special Extras: 1. Hood Hula 3. McKee Klop 2. Thonie Toin 4. McGinnis Marathon The Egolf Glide or prize waltz was a draw between two couples, Robert Blackwell and Betty Bishop, and Frank Cook and Betty Pollinger. ln the draw, however. Frank Cook and Betty Pollinger were proclaimed the winners. As prizes Betty received a string of lovely black and white beads, and Frank a knife. lt was hard to break away from such a lovely dance, but everything must end: so at twelve o'clock the dancers left, all exelaiining what a wonderful evening it had been. The Alumni Dance Vile are always glad to welcome back our Alumni, so every Christmas a dance is held in their honor. This year, we are sure they received a warm home-coming. NVlth the Gyni decorated in High School colors. a peppy orchestra, The Scampsf' and delicious punch, the Alumni and High School Students enjoyed themselves to the fullest. It was a big success, and we hope to see all the graduates back again next year for another lovely evening.

L., l30 I 4 The Butterfly Lady Her cottage stood on the crest of the hill from which the old town sloped down. There was only one building that was higher than hers, that was the red sandstone church, beneath whose shadow her garden nestled. Because it grew so near the clouds it was the first resting place in spring for home-coming birds. She knew them all and when to expect them-the swallow, thrush, lark, cardinal. She watched almost hourly for their return. When she saw them beating up beneath the sun from the south, she would hasten to scatter feed as a welcome, and they in return, hopping through the lilacs or perched on the thatch roof, for a day would twitter and sing to her of foreign lands. She loved these little creatures, longing for their life, free and joyful, full of love-for in their one year of life they tasted more ecstasy than she had in her twenty-she being loverless. So, during the months of spring, her face was ever turned toward the horizon to the south, through the rest of the year she gazed across the plain which girded the hill 's foundations and traced with her eyes the broad, white roads, noting how they narrowed in the distance as though exhausted with old age, till they dwindled into nothingness. No one in the town knew much about her, though she had lived there as long as her memory would serve. There was none who could recall the manner of her coming. The children named her the Butterfly-Lady because she was shy and tim- orous and would hide behind shrubs and draw back from the windows lest any- one observe her. By day they would make so bold as to push open her gate and steal her flowers, crying, Oh, Butterfly-Lady! Come outll' When night had fallen they ran past her darkened cottage in terror, without a sound. The first Hight of swallows had come back. All night long' she had lain awake and listened to their chatter of love, strange seas, and tropicsg but this spring morning when she rose they had vanished. She went to the edge of her garden and looked down the sunlit street, which rushed steeply down the hill. between gray houses, till it poured into the plain and lost itself in the remote greenness of the fields and fallows. Somehow she felt brave today-a sensation new to her. When the children passed by to school and taunted her, crying, Ho, But- tertiy-Lady ! she turned away her face but stood her ground. Now she was thinking, yes, thinking and waiting-yet she did not know for whom she waited. She was in love with love and with those ghost-children, whom she feared till he should come and take her. As she was musing, daring thoughts entered her mind. NVhy couldn't she follow the plain and white road which was beckoning to her? Who knew? he might be tramping across the sky-line to rescue her. NVithout stopping to prepare herself, she slipped out from the garden and escaped through the town. No one saw her though the sun splashed the street to gold, leaving scarce a shadow. The children were at schoolg the women busy and singing to themselves, the men, risen early, out in the fields at work. She cared not whither she went. Far out in the country a thrush was calling. She thought, He is guiding me. She followed. Her eyes were twin forget-me-uots twhich grew in a face of ivory. Her body clad in white glistened as she slipped along. Her hair was a soft brown, folding around her face and hanging at her sides.j Her hands were held before her, half in dread and half in eagerness. Through dusty lanes she wandered, over meadows and clover patches, but always she followed the thrush's call. Sometimes it drew near to herg some- Seventy-seven - Q T times it seemed very distant so that she hastened her steps fearing it was lost. I11 the late afternoon the sky grew overcast and haggardg she felt it to be hor OXVII mood retieeted. lleavy drops of 1'ain began to patter. She kept lltll' eyes fixed before her and still went on.

They tried to wateh its flightg but it turned toward the west. and their eyes were batlied hy tl1e sunset. Vile can hear the bird, he said, hut we eannot see it because of a greater glory. lt's like that with happiness: we hear our own gladness, and we want to see it: it' we see it, we want to hold it,-but alas! sometimes we mistake it for sorrow. She did not answer. She was wondering whether it was more joyous to yearn for a thing than to have it-to hear a lark singing or to hold it silent i11 her hand. From where do you come? he asked. She pointed aeross the green distance to where 111ists drove around the turrets of the sandstone church. Ah, from the town! No wonder you're sad: too many people live there. l live in the ope11. l wateh the sun rise and wateh him set. l see the moon sail high. and the drifts o11t. l liste11 to tl1e winds and the growing ot' the grass. l know that everything has its season-gladness and sorrow. summer and winter. yo11tl1 and old age, life and death: and this l've learned- that nothing has an end. She listened. drawing in her hreathg he was answering her unspoken questions and seemed to know her heart. VVhen he had .ended there was a silenee. Then, forgetting that she was the Butterfly-liadv. sl1e dared to whisper. Oh, that I might live like that-in the open, beneath the stars. llis eyes sparkled strangely as he asked, VVell, who ean prevent you? Clasping her hands with a sob she eried. Oh, it' l only dared l You, yourself have only to dare, he said, speaking almost to himself. 77 Seventy-eiglnt 1 1 After a silence the man continued, bending very near her in his earnest- ness, But-I ought to warn you that, even for a man, the country is at times lonesome-for a woman it would be worse. It's all right when the sun shines, but it's when night has fallen, that one looks to see another face across the camp fire-the face one has dreamed and the face one could love.'l He stared so hard that at last, because she knew she would have to answer. she cried, I don 't think I should mind the night, if only 'there were two of us. He seized her by the hands. Fearless for once, she gazed deep into his eyes. Before she knew what had happened, he held her in his arms. The fire burned low, and neither of them cared. The sun went away, and the moon wandered forth. In the starlight every bud, branch, blade of grass was pearl-covered. At last. What is your name? They call me the Butterfly-Lady. Oh, Butterfly-Lady,'l he whispered, for one of your name, you 're very daring. Then he set her on his horse and led her back to the hill-town through the open country. All the way she watched the starsg and it seemed to her that those small ghost-children gazed down on her, streching out their arms. At the edge of the plain he left her. She climbed the ascent through the sleeping houses back to her lonely cottage. Yet though the hour neared mid- night and all was silent, the singing of the birds continued in her heart. Later footsteps halted in her garden, and they went together to the priest who resided in the sandstone church. Then she passed out from the town, forever, and the two journeying through the open country, returned hand-in-hand to the campfire, the hardship and the browsing horse. JANE CoNNEi,1.i'. True Parade Partners R-r-r-ring. Answer that, Babs, dear. Was there ever anything to be done in the apartment that Babs, dear, or darling, or 'tbelovedw wasn't asked to do. It's doubtful. And as usual Babs answered the phone. Hello-o, her low mellow voice drawled. Yes . . . yes . . . one minute please, Laney! A shell pink negligee wrapped around her slim form, with dainty, pink mules clapping along the tioor, lovely Elaine Patterson, whom Babs thought but a few surpassed in looks, glided across the hall to the telephone. He has a darling voice, Babs whispered. And with that she went back to finish setting the table. The three girls.had an apartment. Elaine Patterson, Laney for short. was twenty, fair, and good looking. Patricia Murdock, Patty or Pat, was of the opposite type, black hair, black eyes, and olive sking two years older than Elaine. She was very reserved, but very attractive. And Babs, Barbara Summersgill, was the youngest, and by far the most attractive, although she was not aware of it. She was a light blonde, with pitch black eye brows and Seventy-nine in I - ly, I pin: 1 1, I lashes, framing her light green eyes. Babs was seventeen, and just finishing her last year at high. She was adorable no less. When Laney and Pat had decided to have an apartment, they wanted a third party. Of course, in a few years, Babs would join them, but just now she was still in school and young, even though she was clever seventen. But if they did get someone else, they 'd get so used to them in three years-it would be hard to part. NVell, a fourth party? No. Too many. Do without Babs? Never! And she was so thrilled with the idea. No-she'd be with them from the beginning. Besides--she wasn't so very young. So that is how Pat, Laney and Babs happened to live together. They had had the idea. for years, and now they were carrying out. Such a, cozy little apartment as it was! There were two bedrooms-Iianey and Pat had one together-and Babs'. but one would think there was Ollly one for they were always in Babs',--a bathroom, a kitchen, a dining room and a living room. Every room was furnished attractively in modern fashion- Babs' ideas were always attractive. XVhat a pleasant atmosphere in the apartment! Could anyone ever have the blues with Babs near? She had just finished setting the table when Laney burst into the room. flinging her arms about her. Oh, howld you like to go on a date with me tonight? I promise you he 'll be cute. VVhy-why, Laney! Poor Babs was taken by surprise. She had her own dates, but never with them. They thought she was a little young. Laney 's eyes were searching Babs' face for the answer. I know exactly what you 're thinking-. Forget it. Is that your only reason for hesitating!? Y-yes, but- 0key, then. you 're on! He 's waiting for an answer. And she dashed out again. lt wasu't long before she was back and telling Babs all about it. She had wanted the date with Bill so badly-Bill Darlington it was-and he had this friend staying with him-wanted another girl-Pat outa towngmost of the kids busy on Saturday night-thought of Babs-. She neither began nor ended her sentencesg but just said enough to let llabs grasp the idea, and then burst out with- Don't you think he's wonderful. From what l've heard-yes. Oh, that 's right--lt's funny you 've never met him-or seen him either for that matter. VVell, don't expect a lot for looks. lle's not ugly, l don't mean that, but-he's nice looking and-l can't describe him, Oh. yon'll see him tonight. And she did- Three years later. riding on a Homeward Bound train from school. 'Rabs sat dreaming of that night-the first night she met him. Laney had said he wasn't good looking. VVcll, he wasnlt but-attractive? Yes. Very! He was tall, not exceptionally so, but just tall enough to be nice as Bahs put it. His eyes-so blue-she thought. But. then naturally the blue suit made them more sog and then his light hair, rather sandy colored. A pale touch of orange tinted cheeks. Such a voice as he had-deep as a bass drum, and then his laughf. Bahs could hear it ringing in her ears like a melody, a beautiful melody-she loved it. Then she thought of how she liked him from the first-more for Laney than for herself, for Laney surely loved him--of how she caught herself unconsciously comparing other boys she met, with himg he was different some- Eighty - l l Q how-of how she missed seeing him when she went away to school, him and Laney-of how she realized when looking at him drawing, a charcoal portrait she made of him from a little snapshot. Laney had 'sent her of herself with Bill, that she had drawn it for her own love for him-not for Laney 's love.. Here Babs stopped. It had taken her a long time to draw this, and of course she couldnlt do much from a snapshot, but she thought it looked quite like him-at least from remembrance. She was anxious to get home for a number of reasons, but for one in particular-just this. Laney had been raving in all her letters about the large picture of Bill which he had taken recently and given to her. I have it sitting right on top of Grandy Cthe pianoj so 1 can look at it all the timef, she had written. So Babs was anxious to compare the two-to see how well she remembered him. Laney's letters were alawys full of what she and Bill were doing. She told Babs that Bill and she read her letters together. He sometimes said to her to tell Babs he sent his love or not to wait so long in writing or I miss her. But Babs understood the 'feeling behind-just a friendly little liking for her as if she were a little sister or the like. She often wished it were different. This vacation would be so hard. During the other two she had been able to hide her feelings toward him, but this time she rather feared it. But the train was nearing the station and Babs had not time for such thoughts. They 'd all be' waiting for her-Laney, Pat. Bill, Tom. Babe, Fritz- all of them ready to greet her. The train was stopping, but Babs saw none of these faces as it neared the crowd-but they were there somewhere. She stepped off the train, looked around-. They usually were in the front of the crowd, but not this time-and then she realized they weren't there. Per- haps they hadn't gotten her letter stating she was coming a week earlier than usual, but it should have arrived two days ago. She hired a taxi and planned on the way home how she'd walk in non- chalant like. She did-and into every room only to find it empty. She walked into the kitchen, but Nora wasn't there either. Probably over at Darlingtons, she thought, and rang up their home. But Mrs. Darlington informed her that they had been gone three days and were expected home any time now. They had gone to Babe Culbertson 's for the week-end. Babs thanked her and hung up. Everything was solved, but it was not a pleasant solution. She collapsed into a. chair in the living room. lt all looked the same. and-her eyes rested on Bills photo. She walked over to it. No wonder Laney ravedg it was worth it. She ran over to the bag she had brought with her, no one could understand why, since all the rest oF her baggage was being sent, and took from it Bill's picture. lt did look like him without a doubt. She placed it beside the other on i Grandy. and sat down to play. She struck the chords of Sweethearts on Parade. She sang softly and sweetly as she played. NVhen she came to the words- l 'd love to join their fun, But they bar meg For it takes more than one To join their army' her voice broke, she stopped playing, and a st1'ay tear found its way down her cheek. She reached for his picture. One who hated her would have sympathized with her then, but one who loved her and it was his picture she held,-in plain words, if Bill Darlington Eighty-one were there? No need of the if, he was there, had been there ever since she had set her painting beside the picture. He had overheard the telephone conversation and rushed over to see her. When he stole into the room to surprise her, and found this, he hesitated. But he felt like a cheat, watching her unawares, so he walked toward the piano. Babs turned around, tlushed and embarrassed, but Bill gently took the picture, reached for his pen, and wrote something on the bottom of it. It read like this:-To Babs, my own dear Parade Partner. When happened then is an affair belonging to Babs and Bill alone. Let's not intrude. Babs' picture was seen in the paper a. year later, under which this was printed :-Miss Barbara Stoner Summersgill before her marriage last Thursday, August 10th. E. C. '30. Something To Do Joey Davis limped across the library of the Johns Orphan Asylum, clumped down in his favorite chair with his favorite book of fairy tales in his hand, and began to read, Once upon a time-. A bell sounded in the corridor. Recess already?' he asked himself, and went out to play. To himself, Joey was ten, almost eleven years old, but to the Lady at the Home, he was eleven, almost. twelve. and had only one more year to stay at the Home, He was sure his mother was dead, but not so sure about the death of his father, for his father and mother had separated when he was two years old. He had gone with his mother, who had died when he was four. He had been in the Asylum ever since. .loey walked slowly around to the window-less side of the building. Every day for the past week he had crawled through a hole in the fence and gotten to the outside world. Once out he played with the Kids in the street. Today. when he was almost out, he heard a quiet voice from alone, Joey Davis is going' to get it. Joey Davis is going to get it. I'm going to tell Miss Downy. Ah, get outa here, Gadsen Arlington. I got permission to go out. You have not. IVIH going to tell Miss Downy, replied Gadsen triumph- antly. And Joey, being a man of means the had eight cents in his pocketl, immediately proceeded to bribe him. lt might be remarked that Gadsen was the sissy of the Orphanage. that his relations came to see him, their dear little Gadsen, every Sunday afternoon. and that Gadsen must have his glasses or he would have a terrible time reading The Five Little Peppers, and How They Grew. a book which Joey heartily disliked. Joey moved to a more comfortable position beneath the fence. l'll getcha some candy, he promised. Will, you get me a piece of chocolate? asked Gadsen brightly. Sure, just so it don 't cost over a cent. lVell. don 't get it dirty. And Joey. thinking he had wasted enough time, made a hurried exit through the hole. He played ''Follow-the-leader,', Kick-the-canf' and several other such games for about a half hour, with the kids outside and having made his lilghty-two - - 1 - purchase he returned in time to line up and march into the building. Gadsen met him that evening in the corner of the library near his favorite chair to receive his pay. It was handed to him with reluctance and he heard, at least he thought he heard, the muttered words, If you tell Miss Downy, I 'll take your specs off. The next day during the play period Joey again stole out through the hole in the fence, but he unknowingly had a spectator. He soon found the gang and they began to play tag, Joey being it most of the time on account of his crippled leg. VVait a minute, you guys, the oldest of the boys said, I've got an idea. They all stopped running and listened. After a minute or two passed in silence Joey asked, ttWell, how about that idea Oh, yeh, a pause. You birds know the guy that lives in that big house across from the home, don'tcha? NVe don 't know him, we know of him, said Joey thoughtfully. Come on, Davis, cut out the wisecracks or we won't leteha in on this. Now imitate a couple a clams. Joey registers deep silence. My idea is this-. What? from Joey. Shut up! Now, as I was gonna say, we 're gonna have some fun. VVe'll take all the furniture off the porch over there, tie a rope across the top of the steps, knock on the door, and run. VVhen the old geser comes out he'll see his furniture out on the lawn and start to run after us. Then he'll trip over the rope, and we can stand down on the corner and laugh at him. Come on! No noise! After several trips between the porch and the lawn, and the tying of a rope, the scene was set. By drawing straws Joey was selected to do the knocking. How was he going to jump that rope? His boyish courage did not fail. He climbed over the rope with that same look in his eyes that a boxer has when he steps into the ring-fearless and observing. He went silently to the door. gave the bell a push, and instead of jumping the rope hid in a corner of the porch. The butler came to the door. and seeing the furniture on the lawn and the boys running down the street. he took one jump, tripped over the rope. described a. beautiful loop in the air. and landed with a heavy thud on his back in the middle of the walk. The door opened again. and out strode a tall. thin man with graying hair. He was seemingly amused at the sight which met his eyes, and a smile broadened on his sorrowful-looking face. Jonson. the butler, gathered up his bones and looked around while the crowd on the corner laughed, and the tall man smiled more broadly than before. Suddenly the butler's eyes widened. and he pointed as he exclaimed. Hi see one of 'em-the brats. Don't move! Come out a there now. and quietly. See one of what? VVhere?i' asked the tall man as Joey stepped from the corner. Cetch a hold on 'im, sir. Ilve got him, and with a move of his hand he dismissed Jonson. Deal justice to 'im, sir, said the butler as he disappeared into the house. VVhy did you boys do this'?,' asked the tall man. ' ' T-oh-er-we-ah- Come, now, why? VVe-er-wanted something to do. replied Joey after deliberation. VVell, you came to the right place. Bring all that furniture up on the porch, and when you 're finished you may come in, ended his host. Eighty-three 1 l 1 l 1: l 1 l l I ' l ,I 1 The bell rang in the yard of the t'Home,l' but Joey did not dare leave his task. Ile worked fast, and finished so soon that the butler was astonished to hear a kuoek on the door about three minutes after he had entered the house. Ah, so it's you is it? Ye should have yer bloomiu' neek broken. t'ome in 'erel lfye expee' to stand out there hall day?'l Er-yes-I mean no. said Joey as he hurried past the angered butler. Ile was directed to the parlor, where he pieked out the most uncomfortable chair in the room and sat down. The longer he sat there, the straighter the baek of the ehair got, until it seemed that it slanted a bit forward. Ile, of eourse, notieed everything in the room. espeeially the rugfthe looked at the ttoor most of the timel. VVhen he at last looked up he was surprised to find the tall man standing very near him. Tell me about yourself, where you live. your parents-everything. He eontinueil. What is the matter with your leg? T hurt. my leg when I was five. My mother's dead. Don't know about my father. The operation on my leg eosts too mueh. lloetor said it eould be done. though. Ile thought awhile, and then added. l'm from the Home. t'Htay right here. XVe'll see to everything tomorrow. Joey was then left in the silenee of the library. All afternoon he looked at pietures in the books of the big library, and asked himself over and over, VVho is this man F. VVhy is he helping me here? At. six oleloek dinner was served, At the table Joey notieed that the only persons who entered the dining room were people who said Yes, sir, or Very good, sir. There mustn't be anyone in the house exeept' the man and his servantsfl thought Joey. The Lady from the Home, and a number of polieenien, having been told of the eseape by tiladsen. set out to look for Joev. Ha crippled boy with a brown suit and grey eap, but never went near the big house. Dinner was soon over, though Joey thought he had never before seen so many different things to eat' on a table at the same time. An hour later. the door-bell rang and a middle-aged man was introdueed as Doetor F. A. Mef'ormieh of New York. Joey had never met the lloetor. and therel'ore had to go through the formalities of introduetion. This is the boy l spoke to you about this afternoon. Doctor, said the tall man. 'Alle is a very gentlemanly fellow, the lloetor remarked. Let me see your leg. he eontinued to Joey, who innnediately took down his stoeking. revealing a. very thin and weak-looking little limb. lt will take about six weeks to make that right. lt's pretty bad. he finished. After a few moments in thought he added, l have only a minor operation to perform tomorrow morning. Vould you have him at the hospital at nine o'eloek '? l' 'fl-er-ah-yes, was the startled answer. The tall man seemed to be returning from a. reverie. The next morning, promptly at nine, a large. blue sedan eame up to the hospital. The door opened and out. stepped a man and a boy. Joey was altogether changed. He was well-dressed but instead of a smile on his faee, it was unmoved. In an hour he would be on the operating table. Three hours later Doctor lxICfl0l'll1lCll emerged from the operating room. Ile is all right. he said, wiping the perspiration from his forehead. The tall man heaved a deep sigh, as if a great weight were lifted from his shoulders. Joey was soon out of the operating room. 'Ile awakened with a deep breath. moved a bit, and opened his eyes. After a long silenee Joey spoke. VVhat's your name? he asked weakly. I-Zighty-four Q is Joseph P. Davisf' replied the tall man. YVl1y, thats my name. My son I shouted Mr. Davis. Daddy, Joey whispered. A silence of three minutes with Mr. Davis hugging his son. Daddy. ' ' What, son Is my leg-going to get better? Yes, sonf' B. M. '30, KA an KA As 14 What Price Speed Young man, come into the library with me. I want to speak to you alone, bellowed Mr. James Dumont, Sr., to Mr. Jalnes Dumont, Jr, Y-ycs, sir, stammered Jimmy, Jr., as if he knew what was to come. Sit downll' Yes, sir.', NVithin the last three weeks l have received several reports from police headquarters concerning you and your speeding. James, Jr., sat motionless. Now l am going to give you one more chanee,'y continued his father, but it' you are caught speeding again, l, will take your car from you and discontinue your allowance. lt is a disgrace to the Dumont. name to have an eighteen year old speed-crazed kid like you with the reputation ot' breaking every speed record in San l rancisco--in tact. west ot' the Rockies. lt's funny you don 't go east and try to break some there. Do you think you can behave after this M3 Y-yes, sir, answered James, Jr., in an undertone. XVe'll see, replied James, Sr.. sharply. 'tYou may go. For several weeks James, Jr.. behaved, as tar as speeding was concerned, much to the surprise ol' his l'athcr, but one morning after James, Jr., had been out all night, James, Sr., received a call from police llPElClK1lIElI'tOl'S and was told that his son was being held for speeding and was without sufiicient funds with which to cover the fine. At this James, Sr., hurried to the police station. VVhere is that infernal brat? he asked as he stepped inside the door. 'tI've got something to say to that. Right this way, Mr. Dumont. and he was led into a cell at the end of a long hall. There was James, Jr.. silently sitting on a cot with his head in his hands. 'tW'ell, what's your excuse this time 1 ' snarled James, Sr. 'tNone. sir. You know what I told you about your speeding, don 't you. Yes, sir. Dont thing I was kidding you when T made that proposition. I'm going through with it--understand ? Yes, sirf' And so James Dumont, Jr., had no ear to speed in and no money to spend. ln the meantime Mr. James Dumont, Sr., had other head-aches with whieh to oecupy himself. He had been drawn into a business deal which ze Ss 777 liighty-five involved his fortune, and in the excitement over the speeding of his son, he had temporarily forgotten the most important part of the agreement. Ile iuust have his personal check of 315,000 in New York City within tive days or lose his l'ortune. i',lllll'l'y and call Oakland Airport and charter a plane to take this cheek to New York immediately, said Mr. Dumont, Sr., to his secretary. lu tive minutes the secretary returned with the message that there was not a plane in the vicinity that was capable of making the trip to New York in less than a week. All other planes were at the international air races at San Antonio and could not return in time to deliver the check. Good lleavens, what am I going to do? I have five days to get the check into New York and no way of getting it there.', l have it, said the secretary. Your son could make it. Ile is the fastest driver in forty-eight statesfl t'What 'I l wouldn't trust that fool with anything. He would be in jail before he got there, anyhow, answered James, Sr. lint it's your only chance, Mr. Dumont! He's sure to make it. A' Well. uh-quick! Get Jim in here right away. For Pete's sake hurry! Listen, Jim, his father said, how long do you think it would take you to get to New York in your car? l don't know, he replied. Why do you ask? l 'll tell you what it is, replied James, Sr., and the details were placed before James, Jr. l'nder the circumstances I think I can make it, but there is no time to be lost. You get the check and other details ready while I go and look over my earf' So that night James, Jr., started for New York, a trip of approximately twenty-six hundred miles, with a check for 515,000 and four and one half days to go. liefore the departure it was agreed Jim, Jr., would send no telegrams until his time was up and make as few stops as possible in order to save time. Jim made good time the first night and by noon the next day was nearing the eastern edge of the deserts of Nevada where he picked up a hobo, an ex-eliautteur on his way to New York. This made it easier for Jim, and after the tramp had learned what Jim's mission was, he acted as if he were the boy 's brother. They drove o11 for two days more, each taking his turn at the wheel for tive hours while the other slept. By this time they were half way across the continent with two days and a half to get into New York. 'l'he ear sped like a rocket across the plainsg but the sensation of speeding was soon broken by the voice of a speed cop, ordering them to move over. NVhat d 'ya call it-huh? YVhere d'ya think yer at?,' llut when the olticer saw the hobo he almost fainted. Why, it' it ain't old Gabby! he exclaimed. YVhere yo' been L? Ya ain't been 'round these parts for a long time. Hliisten, Kelly, said Gabby, this fellow's got to get to New York in two days. Ilere is the situation-. Well, bein' that you 're in with this here guy I'll let ya go, but I can't help what another cop'll do to ya. And so they were allowed to proceed unmolested, and after driving con- tinuously for a day and a half they arrived in Pittsburgh. Just like any other person would do they became lost. in the entanglement of streets. After several hours ot' blind driving they finally found their way out of the Smoky City and once more sped on their way with open road ahead of them. After about ten hours they neared Philadelphia. l'.ILI'lllAY'SlX Say, Jim, just what time do you have to have the check in that otTice? asked Gabby. What time is it now? asked Jim. Let's see. lt's eight thirty A. M. answered Gabby. And this is Thursday, isnlt it? asked Jim. Why-no, this is Friday. NVhat's the difference? What? This is Friday? asked Jim in surprise. And you say it 's eight thirty. Good Heavens! VVe haven't hit Philly yet, and we have to have that check in by twelve o'clock sharp! Listen, Gabby, l'm going to open this baby up now. We've got three and one half hours to get to New York and deliver this check. Then Jim put his foot to the floor, and in less than a hour they had passed through Philadelphia and were speeding on to New York. Gabby, we 've got two and a half hours to go. Think we'll make it?', At the rate we're going now we ought to make it, but there won 't be a minute to spare. But whatever time we get there-I'll stick with you, Jim. Thanks, Gabby. There was nothing that could stop Jim now. The car sped over the road like a bullet and reached the outskirts of New York in two hours. Gabby, we've still got half an hour to go, but I don lt know heads from tails in this burg. What's the name of the street you want, Jim? I might know where it is, I've been here enough. ' ' Broadway, answered Jim. Hit 'er up, boy. I'll point out the way. I can get there with my eyes closed So Jim hit 'er up,', but heavy traltic prevented them from make as fast time as they desired. How far, Gabby? Pretty soon, Jim. Gosh, but I'm getting nervous. Just a little bit yet, Jim. VVe'll make it. Take it easy, you turn here. Hey, Gabby, what time is it? I'll see. Good -! Five minutes to go, and I don't know how far it is yet. Watch that stop light! I haven 't got time for stop lights, said Jim and he drove through it. That made it worse. A policeman was too quick for them and came running. t'Hold up heref' said the officer, and he filled out a card which he handed to Jim. Say, officer, where is Broadway? asked Jim. You're on it, farmer! snarled the cop. Where is the Clarke Building? asked Jim with an anxious expression. Gosh! I didn't know anyone could be so dumb. Right in t'ront of you, farmer! Before Gabby, or the policeman, or anyone else could further express themselves, Jim leaped from the car and was on an elevator bound for the tenth tloor. Gabby and the policeman followed. With a minute and a half remaining, Jim rushed from the elevator and scanned the doors along the hall for number 1012. There it was-the last door down the hall! Jim hurried down the corridor, opened the door, and rushed past the office boy into the private office where several men were anxiously watching a clock which registered one minute to twelve. Eighty-sew n Here I am! exclaimed Jim excitedly. Who are you? asked o11e of the surprised men. Jim was unbuttoning l1is heavy overalls while the minute llkllld was crawl- ing its way to twelve, and reached into his watch pocket from which he produced the check. Here is who I am, he said as he handed the check to the man nearest him, and then he dropped from lack of rest into the arms of the police otiicer who had just entered the door. VVhat's this all about? asked the officer. Gabby explained the circumstances, but it did not turn the wrath of the officer to pity, 211111 Jim was ordered under arrest. As he was being placed on the cot in his cell he regained consciousness, and after scanning his surroundings, asked what was wrong, and why he was in jail. Don't t1'y to get out of it! You're under arrest for passing a stop light, parking in the middle of the street, and resisting an otticer of the law! said the policeman who had arrested Jim. But when Jim saw the soft mattress under him and the large pillow beneath his head he said, Now I know why they call it 'arrestf and forget- ting everything that had happened he placed himself in a comfortable position and fell asleep. Take My Advice I Give me the simple life, said Dan dreamaily, a little vine-covered house on some quiet village street, an orchard, a garden, a cozy library where one might sit and smoke one's pipe while one's wife is in the little kitchen baking a delicious-looking golden-brown cake which would be- -so hard that one couldn't cut it with an axe, finished lllarilynn laugh- ing. Take heed, infant, 'qhat's not living-that's only existing! And what an existence! Give me a huge estate, servants, piles of gorgeous clothes, and cars, a very, very bountiful income per year, a handsome husband who holds membership cards for the most exclusive clubs-f' Dan stiffened. I d0n't want the Bank of England, or the Mint, or the Wliite House. I just want to be happy-really happy. Really happy! mocked the girl. 'tWhy l would die in such a hum- drum life. You certainly don't aspire very highly, Dan. Wealth isnit my goal. Money isn't everything. lf you had all that. you still wouldn't be contented! You 'd be wanting more-more-morel Ulf I had all that, I would have nothing more to wish for! l would have everything, ' ' she returned. Yes-but think of it! Nothing to wish for, to think of, to dream of! There lies happiness--in dreams! Dearest, take my advice and marry some- one in your own life-me, for example. Marilynn jeered. Dan, I do believe you should be a salesman instead of a farmer, or a landscape gardener! 'l'm fond. of you, of course, but if I should marry you, I would die of hard work and loneliness. I know that I'm not cut out for a farmer 's wife. Eighty-eight At this point their conversation, or rather, their argument was interrupted by the long blast of an automobile horn. At the vine-covered entrance of Horton,s Gardens and Nursery stood a huge limousine. Oh, what a dream of a car, breathed Marilynn with much fervor. Isn,t it ducky? Hideous color, commented Dan drily, glowcring at the long, purple body. Then he grinned. Great guns, it's only Eggy Van Dusenll' Hilti he waved to the lone occupant of that beautiful plum-colored vehicle. No, wait, Marilynn, he said as she turned to go. Wait! Let me introduce you. lt's Egbert Van Dusen, the old toothpick king 's son! NVait! It has been said that everyone makes Cat leasti one great mistake in his life and Dan Horton tl10ll0'i1t afterwards that he had made the mistake when he introduced Marilynn Caildwell to Egbert Van Dusen. 77 II Egbert Pinkerton Van Dusen IV was truly a gentleman of leisure. He had acquired several million dollars from the Eli,jak Van Dusen Toothpick, Match, and Paper Novelty lilanufacturing Company and was therefore con- sidered a very eligible young n1a11 by anxious Forest Heights mammas with debutante daughters. To Dan he was a veritable boob, for many reasons. First, he owned an Elmington, which Dan declared was no more than a lump of tin mixed up with a useless amount. of decorative ash-trays, tiower vases. little awnings, cigarette lighters, etc. Second, he wore fawn-colored spats and monogram gloves of the same shade. Third, he smoked violet and lavender scented cigarettes. Fourth, he owned and continually carried about with him a curly-liaired, beribboned, little poodle, which he atfectionately called Lovums, Elllll to which he fed expensive chocolates. Fifth, he had developed a disgusting habit of imitating all the Royalty he had ever met, or seen or read about. Dan once said, Give Eggy a monocle, and anyone might take him for the great Duke So-and-so. or the Earl of What-have-you! And lastly, he was a terrible ttirt! In the opinion of simple, true-hearted Dan this was an unforgivable sin. If he married the girls he made love to, he'd have more wives than Brighamf Young, said Dan. Egbert and Dan had been schoolmates fthis being before the days of the Toothpick, Match and Paper Novelty Company 's tremendous popularityi, and so now the young million- aire kindly paid the young farmer a visit, once a year, for Uauld lang sync. To Marilynn Eggy was a miracle! He embodied all her dreams and desires. Blinded by NVealth and Position she could not see his selfishness, his cgotism, his imitative gestures and ways. She could neither hear his bragging speeches or the big I am i11 his voice. And Egbert perceived her admiration and, true to his nature, was Hat- tered and extremely pleased. He blossomed forth under her fascinated gaze and strutted gracefully about with a very satisfied air. At the end of his painful Cto Dani visit he turned to Marilynn, Miss Caldwell, may I take you home? So they went away, chatting and laughing gaily, leaving poor Dan alone in the garden, staring dunibly after them. III Dan did not see Marilynn until many weeks later. Each time he called. Mamma. Caldwell delightedly informed him that Lynn is out with dear Mr. Egbert, and Dan muttered wrathfully to himself, Lord, these dumb women ! ' ' Eightyenine r 1 1 1 1 At last one evening she was at home, so Dan went over. The great change in the girl surprised and deeply disappointed him. He had evidently credited her with too much common-sense. Now, she seemed interested in none ol' the usual topics of conversation-in nothing he had to say. She talked only ol' Egbert, Egbert, Egbert-dinners-theatres-dances ---niglit.-clubs--and thc marvelous presents he brought her. Dan said nothing. ln fact, there seemed to be nothing to say, and if there had been Dan was too downcast to say it. His head fairly whirled in the ceaseless chatter. So he sadly wended his way homeward, all the while ineditating on poor deluded Marilynn. Eager Egbert the Flirt. had employed his wiles to the utmost, and Marilynn had succumbed. Well if she intended to be that. foolish-. He was, therefore, much surprised to find her in the garden a few days later looking rather forlorn and downcast.. Taking advantage of her unusual quietudc he delivered the speech that he had previously prepared. Marilynn, why-in-the-world are you wasting your precious time on that halt'-witted nuinbskull, Van Dusen? I'm ashamed to think that a girl like you would so much as look at that big so-and-so! Don't, for heaven's sake, think that you're the One and Only for him, m'dearl As soon as he meets some other pretty lady. he'll drop you like a hot potato and go chasing hither and thither after the new flame! He 's just plain flirt through and through. I only want to give you some good advice. I want you to wise up before that Smart-Alec lets you down with a dizzy jolt. Now, take my advice-.H Dan Horton, you're jealous--a real trouble-maker! I can't let you talk that way about my friends, and she marched away defiantly. But some- how Dan felt that she was not as indignant as she might have been. Strange to say, she telephoned him that evening to ask if he would come over. Iler cousin, Eve L,Adore, the actress, had come down from New York. They could all go to the Purple Pelican to dance. Dan accepted reluc- tantly visualizing Eggy dancing indefinitely with Marilynn, while Dan stood patiently by, looking on. But his vision was truly a vision, for Eggy the Flirt, having once niet Sophisticated Eve the Actress, monopolized her the entire evening and left Marilynn for Dan. 'l'hey danced for a time in silence and suddenly Marilynn spoke, Dan, let's sit down. I want to talk to you. So they went to a table in a far corner and sat down. Dan lighted a cigarette and sat watching the dancers, waiting for the girl to begin. After a little while she turned to hiln. Dan, I've been thinking seriously for a long time, and finally l've come to a definite conclusion, Dan with grim emphasis, Dan, l just hate fawn-colored spatsl Yes, he said, I know how it is.', And he gave an understanding nod. Again they were silent, but at last, the boy arose. Let's dance, Lynn. 'l'hey glided out o11 the floor swaying to the lilting music, and suddenly Dan raised her hand to his lips and held it there. Marilynn smiled up at him. Dan, lim going to take your advice for once-all the advice you 've ever given me. And, Dan, a little shyly, you're not a trouble-maker-you're a match-maker! 7 D 77 J. K. '30, Ninety I l - I l - Book Review Department '23 John Brown's Body CHARLES VINCENT BENET Small wonder that Stephen Vincent Benet was awarded a fellowship from the Guggenheim Foundation. John Br0wn's Body is the most essentially American work that l have ever been fortunate enough to read. It is really the first long poem which gives no reference whatsoever to the classic ages and their gods. Jupiter, Mars, and the rest receive no mention at all. It is as entirely American as the Aeneid is Roman. His great work is written in blank verse, but often he bursts from its band into lyric song. But, when the story becomes too intense for rhyme, he rushes back to his original verse, and the stream of the tale sweeps on, holding the reader fast in its grip. It is an epic of the Civil War, telling of the people of the time as much as of the battles and campaigns. He uses full two-thirds of the book to tell of the way the war affected the Southern aristocrat, the New England Yankee, the Kentucky mountaineer, and the stolid Pennsylvania Dutchman. It is wonderful that a man should so enter the thoughts of both Northerner and Southerner. There are many, many ways of looking at this great work, all equally important. Perhaps it should first be considered as one of the greatest bits ot' peace propaganda ever written. It sets forth war in such true colors, telling of the horror, the disillusionlnent, the filth, the wounds, the sickness, and the death, death in its most terrible forms. Indeed, purposely so written or not this book tells of war in such a way that it is impossible to believe that any possible good is worth the awful sacrifice of life. Perhaps the second view should look at Mr. Benetis universality of vision. XVhile dealing with the th1'eat of war, he never forgets that things as important are being done elsewhere in the world. VVe see the wagon trains trailing west, we see steel being bor11 in the cradle of Pittsburgh. A crazy mechanic fiddles with a contraption for lifting man through the air. A scientist looks through his microscope at a germ culture-and wonders. He even shows us the reaction to our war in Europe. VVhile reading, we look down on the fartlung stage of the United States as from another planet. I have never 1'ead anything which so gave the impres- sion of omniscience. But, then, everything in the poem is unusual. It is so gigantically magnificent a masterpiece that one cannot treat of it justly in so short an essay as this. I could have easily taken all the space for drama alone, or the marvelous change of meter to suit mood and character. For example when he talks of barrel-chested Deifer, the Pennsylvania Dutch- man. the meter plods along ox-like just as Jake docs. It is difficult to do justice to John Brown 's Body, for the book is out of the realm of ordinary speech. I find it necessary to use the superlative throughout this report. And even the superlative can 't do Mr. Benet justice. This magnificence is one of the epic's appeals to the ordinary reader. The great test of a book is to meet the approval of the average man on the street. John Brown 's Body meets this test. C. M., '30, Ninety-one Nickolas Nickleby CHARLES Dickens I have read quite a few of Dickens' works and have formed a definite opinion of each. Oliver Twist, David Copperfield, and The Old Curios- ity Shop are much too sad and gloomy to be enjoyable. The Cricket on the llearthn and The Chimes are light, quaint, little tales, interesting enough, but The Christmas Carol is so overdrawn and impossible! 1 cannot imagine such an evil old sinner as Scrooge suddenly reforming and becoming perfectly angelic because of a dream, nightmare or otherwise. Perhaps l am too critical and practical and should use my imagination, but 1 don't want to-I want realism. Most people do. Nickolas Nickleby, though, is different. I think that this book is Dickens' masterpiece. The plot is splendid, for, though common, it is so well built-up and interlaced with interesting episodes and startling incidents that it does not appear the least bit old or shabby. The characters are human, true to life, save for a few Csuch strange persons as Smike or Newman Noggs, for instaneeb. For an example of reality we find poor Smike, unfortunate crea- ture, bearing such a comical name. It is the representation of these queer beiugs that lends the touches of real humor to this story. It is not that Dickens had a passion for odd characters and names, but that he possessed a great sense of humor. Then, too, Vlfackford Squeers and Sir Mulberry provide just the right amount ot' villainy to color a plot, and are, of course, defeated and overwhelmed as all had villains should be. And I still continue and shall always continue to say that l like real true-to-life stories, in which one doesn't. have to rely on his imagination. JANE KUNKI,E, '30. The Haunted Bookshop CHRISTOPHER BTORLEY ln choosing a book to read I more or less judge the book Cwhether I should like to read itj by the title. However, one is often fooled, and l was this time. Une opens the book to-the Haunted Bookshop and Roger Mifflin! Remem- ber Hl'arnassus on NVheels? The same Roger Mifflin with his chucklings and subtle remarks upon one thing and another! Ile even tells how he got i11to l'arnassus on Wheels, which certainly makes you feel that sometime, per- haps, there was a short, fat Roger Mifflin. lt seems to me that if a book character is realistic, one can get a lot more enjoyment out of it. In this book each character is lifelike:-Titania, the wealthy heroine so eager to learn the art of selling books, Helen Mifflin, careful and always on the lookout about the welfare of her absentminded husband, Aubrey Gilbert, the young advertising fiend, then Roger Mifflin, whimsical and bookloving with a charm all his own. Can't you just see them? l believe I learned more about other books by reading this one book than l could have learned had I read each book mentioned, which would have been impossible. Then there is a love story, and a German plot, which suggests bombs,-in fact, a little bit of everything under the title The Haunted Bookshop. A. M., '3O. Ninety-two I l. at .. --.....-.- ,E Class History PLAINTIFF 2 If the court please, Gentlemen of the Jury, this case is brought against the Senior Class of Sewickley High School for the purpose of causing them to leave this institution. I will endeavor on behalf of the plaintiff to show why this should take place. My learned adversary has advanced a multitude of reasons why the Class of 1929 should not graduate from this worthy institution of learning. Ile has stated that because of the great brilliance of the class the school would be unable to progress and also unable to sustain the high standard which it has attained during the term of their attendance. Has he considered that it is practically impossible for the lower classes to achieve any noteworthy honor or distinction long as these exceptionally brilliant students remain here? Surely the class of 1929 is more generous than to jeopardize the success of all other classes merely by remaining in Sewickley High School and occupying space. Such selfishness would be unthinkable. Can any right-minded person contemplate such a prospect without loathing? I repeat, opportunities must he given to these under-classmen! But, and this, my friends, is the saddest part, there is another aspect to the case of this glorious classg would that I might veil it in silence! But no! I shall be frank! There is a group, I regret to say, who, unmindful of their high position as leaders of thought. have succumbed to their baser instincts to such an extent that hitherto uninmaginable abominations as dorines and chewing gum have been discovered in our up-to-now untainted High School. Lest such defiling influences corrupt the morality of the pure and innocent minds of classes to come, I feel that this class should hide its shame and silently steal away. -' My adversary has brought forth many of the glorious accomplislnnents of the Class of '29 and presented them as reasons why the class should remain in the High School. This is all very well, but permit me, my friends. to present that side of the class wl1icl1 he has, doubtless for reasons of his own. left in obscurity. Gentlemen of the Jury! It is your duty to base judgment on the whole truth, gentlemen, not a quarter, nor a. half, but the whole truth. and disregarding the sneers and catcalls of those whose selfish interests would best be served by concealing it. I, my friends. will disclose that truth. Is it fitting. gentlemen, is it proper that a class so forgetful of its dignity as to dash madly through the school on a vehicle, which I am informed is termed a kiddie-kar. should be permitted to remain in the High School? And yet, not only was this done in the class's sophomore year but it was veritably glorified in to the extent that even today those who are' interested in knowing the truth may read in the 1927 Sewihi that 'tJohnny McElwain won the kiddie-kar race. A class which thus brazenly emblazons' its shame in the annals of the school is unworthy of the school. Again. we read in the Sewihi for 1926 an anecdote so revolting in the gross vulgarity of the acts it relates that I hesitate to withdraw it. from obscurity. I refer to the time when the Vlass of 1929 in an orgy of disgusting gnzzling drank so much water that the School Board was obliged to turn it off. But enough of these repulsive tales. Sufficient has been told, I feel, to justify the plea that the Class of 1929 should no longer remain in Sewickley High School. Ninetyefour Class Prophecy Justice Triumphs in High School Case!
