Mrs. Griffith coaches our play Teaches us English day after day But she always has time to smile And talk to us a little while. Our principal is Mr. Bradley I think of him ah—sadly For he is stern and very strict And uses slang to be explicit. Mr. Moore is the youngest here Math and Algebra makes most clear And all the girls use all their wiles Just to catch one of his smiles Latin, Caesar and Cicero What difficult things to know But each of these plus basketball You find at Miss Teter’s call. Mr. Kings is a good old scout Always knows if you are out If he grades you very low Think of the History you don’t know.

As guides on this first break into High school, Elizabeth Amick became our president, Kenneth Pettijohn, vice-president, and Helen Newby, secretary and treasurer. All went well this first year, we published a Frosh. copy of The Black and White, something unusual for beginners. Miss Teter was our capable sponsor. This first year passed and we found ourselves Sophomores. Our Freshman class of 55 had diminished greatly, but this did not keep our heads from swelling, we were just like the general run of Sophs, they “see all and know all.” This year we had for president, Kenneth Pettijohn; vice-president, Eva Compton; secretary and treasurer, Helen Griffin; with Miss Teter as our sponsor again. As Juniors the next year, we established a reputation of making nothing go over, we became a sort of black sheep of the high school. We attempted more and failed more than any other class in school. However under the leadership of Edward King, as president; Edith Eytcheson, vice-president; Elizabeth Stephenson, secretary; and Gladys Reddick, treasurer, we spent, if not a prosperous, a happy year. At the last moment, as usual, we put on a banquet for the Seniors, that was very successful. Then came the last year, for the last time lots were drawn and Dale Hinesley, became our president; and Gladys Reddick, vice-president; Elizabeth Stephenson, secretary; and Edith Eytcheson treasurer. Now, we tried to do things suitable to our dignified position. Our play and our annual were both successful. Rather reluctantly we saw the year pass by, in which w'e must leave the school forever as students. With joy and regret about equal at the prospect of graduation we shall yet cherish the memory of these four years. 21 THE SYLLABUS ♦ -� --------------------------------- (Elass J3nrm Conquering now, and still to conquer Obstacles that block our way. To prepare for future battles We must win the ones today. May our eyes turn ever upward To the height of our desire. May we never turn them backward Never quench the inner fire. May we ever fight our battles With the zest we do today. May each year come around to find us Farther on the winning way. Every battle lost, if gamely, Is in truth a battle won; May we say, “We’ve done our noblest,” At each setting of the sun. May we through life stand steadfastly, Battle on, though bruised and sore, Ever strive to live up to the ideals Of our class, and more. 22 THE SYLLABUS K - (Elaas Mill We, the Senior class of Sheridan High School, Sheridan, Indiana in the year of 1927, being of sound mind, memory and understanding, do hereby make our last will and testament in the following form. Rachel Baker wills her ability to sing soprano to Herbert Kuhlman. Doyle Beard wills his foreign language books to Fernald Mills. To Van Miller, Pauline Barker leaves her sophisticated ways and lone Pritsch leaves him her stature. Paul Beard reluctantly wills his extensive knowledge gained in S. H. S. to Hilda Baker. George Osborn and Ruth Bragg are impartially bequeathed Eva Compton’s basketball ability. Martha Cooper wills her resourceful mind and nervous temperament to Doyle McVicker. Edith Eytchescn leaves to Martha Couden, who is greatly in need of it, her poise. Bernice Fisher leaves her clock that doesn’t keep time to Janice Norman.

Elizabeth Stephenson leavqs her giggles to Mary Aldred. Mary Newman wills her elocutional ability to Noble Bell. Dale Hinesley wills his stubbornness to the entire High School, there’s certainly enough for every one. Neva Graham, Helen Griffin, and Bernice Fisher leave their inability to get to school on time to Emily Coddington. Gladys Reddick relinquishes her position as high school sheba to Thelma Eudaly. Duval Wallace wills his ability to make speeches to John Osborn, since John is so very hesitant and backward. Kenneth Pettijohn wills his form to Emily.

Upper assembly, the first fifteen minutes on a very warm afternoon. Mr. Moore at teacher's desk. Seniors in usual places. Spring fever had struck many of them as evidenced by vacant seats. Lenora—May I speak to Dale. Mr. Moore—(Nods his head and smiles.) Lenora (to Dale)—I’ve got my car here today. What do you say we play hookey. We can get out when the bell rings for general assembly. You will won’t you? Dale—You’re on. I’ve stood this about as long as I can. Who else shall we get— Fetty and Eva ? Lenora—You ask them. Dale—Oh write a note to them. Moore will think its funny if I talk to both of them. Lenora—All right. Lenora then inscribes a voluminous note to Petty and also to Eva. Instantly they accept. Then the one o’clock bell rings. They make a hasty exit out the front door instead of going to the assembly. Petty (drawing a long breath)—So far so good. Where do we go from here? Eva—What’s the diff. Anywhere but here suits me. Lenora—Let’s go to Atlanta. Dale—Ah no your fellow lives there. Let’s go up town then we will decide. 2nd Scene. Mr. Bradley’s office. Mr. Kingsolver, very irate, talking to Mr. Bradley. Mr. Kingsolver. Four gone from my assembly. Looks suspicious to me. Mr. Bradley—Who are they. Mr. Kingsolver—Lenora and Dale, Eva and Kenneth. Suppose I go up town and look for them. Mr. Bradley—Pretty good idea. Better go now more chance of finding them. 3rd Scene. On Main street. Mr. Kingsolver has just seen the culprits. Mr. Kingsolver. Well, here you are. What in the world do you mean by this. Don’t you know by this time you can’t put anything over on us. Dale—Oh what’s it to you. We admit it. Don’t preach all day. Mr. Kingsolver. All right, be careful now or I’ll take some off your grade too. Come on let’s be getting back. Then you’ll get taken down some. The four crushed and downtrodden students follow him slowly. Curtain. 24 THE SYLLABI! S JJnijiljprg nf BZZ A London fog had settled over the city and as I made my way down Lincolnshire Avenue, a sign lighted by varied colors, caught my eye, “MADAME ZUNA, SORCERESS.” I wandered in and asked for the lady and told her I should like to see all my old classmates of 1927. She told me to sit down and be quiet, and we would journey into the years. First Madame Zuna showed me, Rachel Baker, an old friend, who was entering a large home on Fifth Avenue, with a small child at her side; I looked more closely— and saw the inscription on the door which read: “Madame Baker’s Music School.” She was teaching little millionaires how to sing and play. The next scene showed Pauline Barker’s name in great electric lights across Broadway. At last she had made good and was a star, having gained her fame as a great dancer. I was then shown a little town in the West, and at the city hall was Paul Beard, who after finally graduating had gone West and been elected Mayor of the little town of Piona. He was in his right sphere at last. The next scene Madame Zuna showed me was in sunny France. I saw Doyle Beard standing in the doorway of the finest hotel there. Many people came by and spoke to Monsieur and he returned the courtesy by passing out his favorite black stogies. The scene then shifted back to Ind’anapolis, where I found Claude Burton calling trains in the Union Station. A little boy and girl came running up and embraced him. He had married his boyhood sweetheart and settled down in Indianapolis. Madame Zuna then told me she would show me the Orient. In this scene a lady appeared dressed in a riding habit. It was Eva Compton our old basketball hero, vacationing in the Orient after founding Compton’s Amusement Park back in her home town. Texas appeared next. Here were Martha Cooper and George Ogle, who were spending a happy honeymoon, after being quietly married at Danville, 111., by our old friend Rev. Porter Myers, who war, preaching in that city. Then—a man, carrying a brief case in a southern city. As he walked closer I recognized Lemmo Dell. He was engaged in selling real estate. He had grown a mustache and was nearly bald. I was then shown the Library in Washington, D. C. and at the desk sat Edith Eytcheson, who after getting her degree from Butler was head librarian for the government. While still in Washington, Madame Zvna pointed out to me a small shop with three balls protruding over the front. A man came out and at once I recognized Ed King. Ed after years of fruitle c adventure had settled down in his favorite business as a pawn shop keeper. Madame Zuna showed me then a lady, in Paris, painting a landscape, when she looked around and behold,—there was Bernice Fisher in a purple smock, painting for the Saturday Evening Post. A little country town appeared next and a hotel on which I could hardly make cut the name at first then I recognized the words “Garver Hotel.” At last Lenora had succeeded in her chosen work and was running a chain of Hotels in small towns. 25 THE SYLLABUS 3H= ----------— ----------------------------------------- The next scene was in a school building, where I recognized Helen Griffin, who after years of study, was teaching Dramatic Art. She was exceptionally talented in that line it seemed. The next scene was in an open field. In the distance I saw something moving; as it came closer I saw that it was our former class president, Dale Hinesley. He was riding a tractor, after refusing the Presidency, he worked on a farm. That scene faded and I saw a tall stately farmhouse, with my old friend Helen Newby singing and baking pies. She had married her boy friend and settled on a farm, north of Sheridan. Then appeared a large flower shop and in it was Mary Newman and her husband, they were busy supplying the natives in Louisiana, with flowers. Out at sea I saw a large vessel sailing swiftly along, only one figure stood out and that was the captain. He was dressed ir. blue with a row of medals across his chest. As the ship grew nearer I saw that it was Kenneth Pettijohn, who after attending Annapolis, had fulfilled his boyhoed ambition and war. a mariner. The next scene looked very familiar to me, I saw again the man on the tractor and this time a woman ringing a dinner bell. The woman was Gladys Reddick of course, our former president’s assistant. Memphis Tenn. next appeared, where I found Elizabeth Stephenson in a newspaper office as society editor, having discovered her talent to lie in that direction. Then was shown a large tent with a monstrous sign in front “Spidel Pritsch.” lone and Joel after graduation had organized a circus and were cleaning up in the northern states. Jce was selling tickets while lone was training elephants. A broadcasting studio in Chicago heralded my next friend. I saw no one but heard a voice say this is WLW Sears Roebuck Station. I recognized the voice of Du- al Wallace. He had won a hog calling contest in Boone county and been selected for radio announcer. The last scene was out on Went Second street. There I saw sitting on the porch Neva Graham. She was reading one of her own literary works. She wrote nature stories for little children. I took my departure then, feeling happier after seeing the successes of my old friends. —W.

(Elaas uf ’2B” I can remember way back in the years, When we each first started our careers, We were happy, playful, and nice kids then; And just couldn't wait until we were ten. Our mothers would watch us with utmost care, They would scrub our ears and brush our hair. And on Saturday nights before daddy came home, He would always buy us an ice cream cone. Down thro’ the years, we have come at last, Till our high school life is almost past. We’ve had calling’s down by the teachers you bet. But to think, only one more year, we sort’a regret. We’re intelligent Juniors now, and full of pep, We get five off at most every step. But even tho’, we hope you and the rest. Consider our class of ’28 among the best. —Thelma Eudaly. Sfuntora There is a class in S. H. S. Which can never be surpassed; It’s noted for its liveliness, And also knowledge vast. The spirit of this class is great, In fact the pep is such That one can’t always be sedate, And stay within it’s clutch. The class contains some orators, Some artists, one or two, Singers, poets, musicians, And actors quite a few. The members never really shirk When some great task appears; They always buckle down and work And list not to folks’ jeers. Of course we know the class shall see The most illustrious fate. And we count ourselves lucky to be In the class of ’twenty-eight. —Elizabeth Bradfield. 29 THE SYLLABUS g opl|mnm PH FIRST ROW—Ruth Bragg, Delight Beard, Kathryn Clark, Rosemary Bradfield, Martha Deakvne, Sarah Baker, Mary DeaKyne, Lois Bannon.

With only three old members of the ’25 squad, S. H S. made a creditable showing, losing only three of their eight games. With the graduation of only Burton and Dell, Sheridan High should have a championship team for the year of 1927. The rest of the squad is made up mostly of Sophomores and Juniors who will all be back for the on-coming year. The Sheridan high school football teams have always ranked among the best in the state, but due to the inexperienced men and a “tough” schedule Coach Kingsolver did his best to keep the Black and White standards flying and succeeded in winning five out of eight games. Prospects are bright for the season of ’27 with all the last year’s team back except Burton and Dell, who graduated. CARMEL VS. SHERIDAN Carmel with an inexperienced eleven came to Sheridan, Sept. 24 for the opening game of the season. Sheridan easily won by a score 41-0. WESTFIELD VS. SHERIDAN Westfield wth their determined squad came to Sheridan Oct. 1. This was one of the best games of the season which ended 8-6 in our favor. MARION VS. SHERIDAN Sheridan went to Marion Oct. 9 and lost a hard fought battle. The locals lost 21-0. HARTFORD CITY VS. SHERIDAN The locals found easy opponents when they went to this city on Oct. 20. Assisted by many rooters they won by a score 40-0. NOBLESVILLE VS. SHERIDAN The second defeat came when we played Noblesville on Oct. 29. Sheridan lost to Noblesville for the first time in many years by a score of 26-0. 38 THE SYLLABUS ♦Jr CARMEL VS. SHERIDAN For the second time in the same season Sheridan defeated Carmel 20-0. Carmel showed improvement which meant hard practice. PERU VS. SHERIDAN Nov. 13, Peru came to Sheridan to get beat 21-7. Few attended the game making it seem dull and uninteresting. KIRKLIN VS. SHERIDAN Sheridan lost to Kirklin 12-7 on Nov. 20. The locals fought hard and seemed determined to win when the tide turned. Dell and Burton, two stays of this year’s team graduate. They will be missed by next year’s squad.

The average of points per game the first year was 16, the second year was 20, and the third year 28. In the eight games, the Netters have aggregated 228 points to their opponents 114. More than 20 girls were out for Basketball and since no hall was available in Sheridan the girls were transported to the Boxley gymn where practises were held twice a week. By defeating the Carmel girls with a 51-10 score the team made a creditable beginning, all regulars and substitutes taking part in this game which was an initial effort for the Carmel girls. Compton and Aldred scored 31 and 20 points respectively. Early in January, a very generous snow, which completely blocked the roadcaused the cancellation cf a home game with New Augusta. The following week the girls journeyed to Prairie Township and in a hard fought game, outplayed their opponents by the score of 19-32. Before the finals of an invitational tourney at Thorntown the local lassies administered defeat to the Thorntown girls, whose team is especially to be commended for its superior brand of Sportsmanship, which was unequaled by any other team this season. The local girls dropped their first game to Noblesville and on the following nite allowed New Augusta to defeat them by a slender margin of two points. Spurred on by these two losses the team succeeded in defeating the Tipton girls by ihe same margin of points which Noblesville had gained over them, a fact which atoned somewhat for their loss to that team. Before a fair sized crowd at Boxley our only home game, with Thorntown, was played all the girls being used in the game. The season closed with our return game with Prairie Township which was without question the hardest fought and roughest played game. By superior team work and some of Compton’s spectacular field goals the game was won 26-19. By graduation the team will lose Helen Newby, forward; Eva Compton, who has been the star player for the past three years, and Neva Graham who has played very ably at guard and jumping center. For next year’s material Norman and Clark, steady guards, and Teter a one season player, should make a showing. Copeland and Couden, at running center, have been very valuable members of the team. Beard as sub-forward and Nichols as jump center have also played well. Aldred also a regular forward has shown much improvement in accuracy and speed this season having scored 62 points. Compton has 160 points to her credit. For three successive seasons the Sheridan girls have entered enthusiastically into Basketball in a spirit of gocd fellowship with a love of fair play which does them credit. 44 THE SYLLABUS ♦Ji— --------------------------------------------K- ahr iCatiu (£Uth The Latin Club is a new organizaton in S.

The instrumental course in the schools is only of recent date, having been introduced about two years ago. By this course, pupils ranging from the fifth grade to the first year in high school are enabled to receive free class lessons that are given mostly on evenings after school and on Saturday mornings. The natural outcome of this work is the development of orchestras. Due to the fact that there are approximately one hundred pupils included in the musical course of Adams Township seventy-five of whom are taking advantage of the free class lessons, Adams Township has quite a large orchestra. This work is being carried on at the music studio above the Farmers National Bank, under the directorship of Chas. M. Carter, with the assistance of Miss Kathryn Walker. 50 THE SYLLABUS ■ S� Sfuntnr (Elass Jllaij On the sixteenth and seventeenth of February, the Junior Class presented the Dramatic comedy “The Youngest.” The hero, Richard Winslow, is a downtrodden son who comes in contact with a charming society girl, Nancy Blake. How the hero learned to assert himself through the influence of the girl whom he learned to love is the theme of the play. A good crowd greeted the play in spite of a heavy downpour of rain on the second night. The band, who to perform their duty, had to play in the rain, was drenched.

The second banquet was given by the Rotary Club, at the “Hotel Thistlethwaite.” The dinner was served in two courses and was greatly appreciated by the boys. Entertainment was furnished by the Junior trio who sang requests of the boys. Mr. F. E. Beauchamp was toastmaster of the evening. Short talks were given by the Coach, Mr. Beauchamp, J. R.

The Public Speaking Class had charge, under the leadership of Mrs. Griffith. A very interesting debate was given on “Student Government,” with the negative side winning. NOVEMBER FOURTH Miss Teter had charge of the program today. A very entertaining and educational talk was given on the “Passion Play.” The talk was illustrated by the lantern. NOVEMBER EIGHTEENTH The Seniors gave the program. They had Rev. Clugston, of the Methcdist church talk to the school. DECEMBER SECOND Mr. Moore started this Thursday off with a ciphering match, but the period ended in a talk on public utilities. The ciphering match is to be concluded some other time. DECEMBER NINTH The Junior class made this thirty minutes pass like ten. Special numbers on the banjo, violin and vocal duets, with old-fashioned tunes thrown in were given by the entertainers. They have some very clever music makers. DECEMBER SIXTEENTH The Sophomores had charge today. Some music was furnished by several members of the class, followed by a burlesque, silent drama “Poky Hunters.” DECEMBER TWENTY-THIRD Today saw the finish of the mathematics contest. JANUARY SIXTH This program was under Miss Palmer’s direction. A group of girls gave a musical stunt, and the remainder of the period was given over to Rev. Corts, who gave a lecture on “can and will.” JANUARY THIRTEENTH The Freshman made believe they were broadcasting, this Thursday. The program was mostly musical, with a little playlet, and a few recitations. While it lasted it was very good. JANUARY TWENTY-SEVENTH The Seniors had charge today. A very interesting little playlet was given by the class. One of the cleverest programs that has been given. FEBRUARY THIRD Again the Juniors have the program. It was interesting but mostly musical, we think a variation would be an improvement. FEBRUARY TENTH Today we celebrated Lincoln’s birthday it being so near. Mr. Kingsolver had charge. Several educational speeches were given by members of his classes. FEBRUARY SEVENTEENTH The Sophomore program was very entertaining. You can usually count upon them. FEBRUARY TWENTY-FOURTH Mr. Bradley had charge today. An unusually good program. 61 THE SYLLABUS ♦ -r Clihat iFurnarr nf (Shirs When Jack Kessler was fifteen years of age, his father assigned the task of taking care of the furnace to him. Mr. Kessler felt that Jack was old enough to attend to it very well, and in this way he would receive a little more rest. Jack wasn’t especially fond of the job, but he knew that the best way to get along with his father war. to do as he requested, and not complain about it. Jack often repeated to himself “Well there is one consolation—thank goodness I won't have to do it when summer comes.” Things went well for a while, but as time rolled on and Jack became a little older, he developed the habit of being out late at night and especially on Sunday nights. This habit seemed to be possessed by all of the boys of his age. In Jack’s case, the reason for staying out late was a girl, and as all boys seemed to be alike it was evident the same reason serves for all. One December evening Jack fixed the furnace and started from home. If we could have followed him, we would find out that he war making his way to a certain Miss Johnson’s home. Now this was the girl that Jack loved or at least he thought he did. However, some doubted whether or not it was just a bad case of “puppy love.” Soon we would see them making preparations to leave and in less than one half hour see them stop in front of a very large beautiful house. Mary Jameston lived here, and she was giving a ball as a farewell social for her brother who was leaving for Europe. Of course an enjoyable evening was spent here as is characteristic of that sort of entertainment. About mid-night we would see Jack and Mbs Johnson leave and about one we see him at home at last. Being very tired and sleepy, Jack forgot to fire the furnace before going to bed. He usually did this before going to bed, so it would hold fire all night. About three, just when he was dreaming the most thrilling part of a dream concerning Miss Johnson and himself, his father awakened him and informed him that the fire had gone out. “Oh gee! that old furnace!” muttered Jack as he crawled out of bed. Sure enough, the fire had gone out. He built it again and sat down on a box by it to wait until it had got started. As he sat down he said to himself—“Well it won’t go out again I’ll bet.” Being very sleepy, he soon dropped to sleep. Just how long he sat there he didn’t know, but soon he was awakened by his father’s voice again. At first he couldn’t understand what he said, but finally aroused himself enough to understand that the furnace was smoking badly. His father came down and they tried every way possible to make it quit smoking, but they could do nothing. At last after they tried everything else, Mr. Kessler said that the fire wouid have to be put out because the house was filled with smoke. Jack remembered what he had said, but he knew this way was the only way. After the furnace was put in order again after an hour’s work, Jack went to bed, but instead of dreaming the dream he wanted to, he dreamed about the furnace. The next morn'ng he awakened with the words—“Aw, that old furnace of ours,—it sure did spoil the night.” 62 —Margaret Teter. THE S Y L L ABUS Prngrants. (Enutuutrft MARCH THIRD Frosh day. You can bet on the Freshmen to be original. We enjoyed the program immensely. MARCH TENTH This w?, the u';ual type of program from Mrs. Griffith, extremely clever and entertaining. The kind of a program that pleases the whole high school. MARCH SEVENTEENTH The Seniors again gave a very good program. But enjoyed more than the last we hope. MARCH TWENTY-FOURTH Today finds the Juniors all there, or perhaps we should say we appreciated the clever Junior class. MARCH THIRTY-FIRST The Sophomores had charge of the assembly period today. They were up to their usual standard. To our notion the Sophs will make as good a Senior bunch as we are, (almost.) APRIL SEVENTH The program by the Freshman today was refreshing and youthful, need we say' any more. APRIL FOURTEENTH Our County Superintendent gave us a talk today, since it is very near the close of the year. And'this ended the Thursday Programs for this year. iftuih 5 rlinnl ICifr A Freshman settled down to read His English lessen o’er. The teacher left the room; Indeed the Freshman read no more. A Sophomore thought it capital fun To start a rumpus there; So up the isle he went on a run And pulled the Freshie’s hair. A Junior glancing from his toil When the fun was at its height, Determined the Sophomore he would join And tease the Freshie right. A Senior then did enter the room; The whispers all stopped humming. Imagine his feeling, when the Freshie said, “I thought someone was coming.” 63 —Lula Nichols. THE SYLLABUS urli 2la ICifr Among the students of the school There’s quite an old tradition They long to be a Senior grave That’s the height of their ambition. Long years ago when I was young And was a Freshie green I wished to rise to those same heights Of various things unseen. Next I was a Sophomore And still I dreamed and dreamed Of rosy tints of loftiness My Senior life I schemed. And then I was a Junior Just one more year to go Alas, I did not calculate To be disappointed so And now I am a Senior, When life should be serene 1 find my wants are bubbles bright, And things not as I dreamed. And odd as this may seem to you, A Senior’s life’s no laugh; And when I die some future date Let this be my epitaph: Oh you whom now I leave behind; Away with grief and tears. Think of the time of long ago And of our high school years. The teachers worked me much too hard; At least I lost my health, And could not gain it back again; By doctors, prayers, or wealth. If you my woeful fate would shun, Follow not my uncertain way; If you wish a successful course to run, For every hour of every day Find a worthwhile task to do; And like a boomerrang hurled by a brave Its worth will come back to you. 64 —Lorene Deer.

But one instance in particular stands out as the meanest. Of course it concerned a girl, most mean things do. I had no use for them even in stories; so I lay the blame on the girl. I was about ten years old when a most impudent eight year old girl swept across my serene horizon. She opened the barn-yard gate before I was aware of her unwelcome presence. As I was walking around the sloppy barn lot on a pair of high stilts, and having a perfectly, lovely time all by myself, I resented this sudden intrusion of a golden haired, blue eyed, dimpled cheek damsel. “Shut that gate quick! Do you want the stock to get out on the road?” I asked sharply. She slid the slat quickly back in place and climbed up and over the big gate. She stood and grinned at me impudently. “What do you want?” I shouted at her. She swung her white bonnet on her arm, and smoothed out her spotless white apron before she smiled, showing a deep dimple in either cheek, and said: “Why! - -. I’ve come to play with you - - I’m Maybelle Calvin - - what’s your name?” Huh ! I don’t like to play with girls; so you’re wastin’ your time!” “Oh, don’t you? Well, you’ve never played with me - - I know the most’est games - -what did you say your name was?” “Yuh d.dn’t hear me say did yuh ? If you can’t walk on stilts and play like a boy, you’d better be going home.” She smiled and came toward me. “I’ll play anything you want to if you won't get me all dirty - - I hate dirty things!” Here was my chance! I raised one stilt up carefully and set it down in the mud with force. Muddy water flew over the spotless white fairy. “You mean, nasty boy!” she cried. “I you don’t want to get muddier than that, you’d better be gettin’ out of this barn lot!” I splashed around triumphantly, sending particles of soft mud in all directions. “You done that on purpose!” she exclaimed backing towards the gate.” You’re the meanest boy I ever saw!” She shook her fist and stuck her tongue out at me. I started towards her and she ran screaming to the gate, and was over it before I could reach her. “Smarty!” she cried, sticking her tongue out at me again. Girls tongues are a nuisance, and I had a nasty temper; besides I hated girls; so I picked up a stick and threw it at her. With a hoWl of pain, she went flying down the muddy road. I drew a breath of relief. Now I could play in peace. What were girls good for any way? Ten years later. At my Junior Prom. My room-mate touched my arm lightly. “Rod, here is a girl who wants to meet you - - Miss Enlow, - - Mr. Barr.” Bill was called away and I found myself gazing at the most “prefered” blonde a gentleman ever met! Yes!” she hissed at me. “I’ve an old score to settle with you, Mr. Barr.” 06 THE SYLLABUS « = “An old score----what for Miss Enlow?” I asked in surprise. “For that!” She pushed her hair behind her ear. I gazed at a pink lobe. “An ear?” I asked blankly. “A scar!” she breathed, pointing beneath her ear. “See that? 1 have that to remember you by, Rodney Barr!” I touched the little, triangle scar in pity. “I did that! - - how?” She put her hair back in place and smiled for the first time. “So you’ve forgotten? How like a man! Well, I’ll refresh your memory. I was Maybelle Calvin until Mr. Enlow adopted me - - ” She paused and waited for me to say something. I looked at her like a dumb fool. “Maybelle Calvin?” I repeated blankly. She snapped her fingers at me quickly. “Come out of it! Don’t you remember of throwing a stick at a little girl once upon a time?” “Did I do that?” I gasped in amasement. She noddded, showing a deep dimple in either cheek. “Well, that was the meanest thing I ever done, Miss Enlow! Come I’ll show you howr to settle that old score - - I’m a pain at dancing.” And so now, I have the right to kiss that little ear when ever I want too, but I’ve concluded that it was the luckiest thing I ever did! —Frances Weaver. 67 THE SYLLABUS ©anting (Uir Unlf New Y’ork City is a large place and also a very lamentable place for a boy of seventeen, whose father and mother are both dead. But in this case the father was not dead but in a worse place. He was at Sing-Sing, New York’s prison. He had held up a bank and had been caught. The boy was known as Wolf after his father was taken. Before Wolf’s mother had died, he had had a good job but when his father wai put in prison his job was taken from him. He became bitter and hated every one. Time went on and people came to dread him because they were afraid. When winter came it was colder than usual and Wolf was hungry. He had one nickel left. He went into an eating-cart nearby and bought a cup of coffee. A few m'nutes later he left and under his tattered coat he had a half of a pie and three doughnuts. He went on down the street and came to a drug store. He went in and fingered through a telephone directory. When he left he had a package of cigarettes under his arm. He had no home so he walked around to keep warm. Later he found an old box and crawled inside an went to sleep. Some time later he was awakened by a policeman who told him he guessed he would put him in jail. But he pitied Wolf and asked him why he did not join the fire fighting force. Wolf merely snarled and jerked away. In his wanderings he passed a fire station. He passed it and then repassed it. Finally he went inside. When they examined him he passed and gave a false age. The next day he was made to drill with the the rest and once made a mistake. The man in charge jerked him out and kicked him. This only increased his sulleness. He licked any man that looked at him and tried to speak. Inwardly he was wanting friends but did not know how to get them. Wolf proved a good hand and one day at practice he was put in charge of an engine, over another man. He never said a word of thanks but only turned and sneered at the man who lost the job. He becrme expert at handling the engine and his men became the fastest in the district. All this time Wolf had made no friends but many enemies. His chief said that he liked Wolf and there was a real man in him if you could only break through the shell. A year passed and one night a big fire broke out in the residential section and Wolf’s engine was called on the second alarm. When he arrived he found the foremen were drawn back because the fire had reached out and caught fire to an old house. In the basement was a barrel of powder. If this blew up it meant the fire would spread everywhere. Before he could be stopped he was in the building. He took a small hose with him. The smoke was blinding but he managed to get to the powder and soaked it till it was harmless. He was so badly burnt then that he fainted, but was taken to safety by his men. He was taken to a hospital and there the doctors said that his sight was gone. He lay in the hospital for two months before the bandages were removed from his eyes. He found he could see but was not happy because he had no friends. When he became able to walk he was taken to the station. When he arrived he found his department there in dress uniform. He was presented with a medal for bravery. After this was over he was taken possession of by his own men who all crowded around him. He was deeply touched and tears came to his eyes as he tried to say he was glad to be back. —Eugene Griffin. 68 THE SYLLABUS “Jt iFlnalfi” Many years ago there lived a sailor on the coast in small crude hut built of logs, v.-ith little equipment for a house or a home either. One day he went away and left his wife at home, but she had a queer feeling that told her he would never reach home again alive. While she lay sleeping one night, just at midnight a sound awakened her and as she was wondering what it was, a voice said these few words, “It floats.” Of course the first thought that came to the woman’s mind was that her husband had been drowned and his body was floating around, being dashed to pieces by huge waves. The next night she heard the voice again but this time it seemed to be much plainer. And again the third night while she lay sleeping she was awakened and heard the voice say “It floats, it floats.” This time the voice sounded so plain and her imagination was so great that she was almost frantic. All the next day it seemed as if she were in a sort of a stupor and her neighbors remarked at her ghastly appearance as she stood on the wharf, watching for her husband to return. Meanwhile her husband while sailing on the sea had several dreams or feelings that all was not well at home. On the third after setting sail, a great storm had swept over the seas and many times he and his crew had barely escaped being drowned. One evening just after sunset, the winds had become more calm and the men or at least part of them had fallen asleep and the boat had gone out of its course. Just as the husband roused himself from his sleep he heard a sound like that of something grating on a rock. He rushed from the room and found that the ship had struck on a reck and was sinking. All of the men were very scared, and all attempted to swim ashore about five miles away or that was the distance it looked to be. The husband after many hours of struggle and pain was washed up on shore in a little cove of place surrounded by high cliffs. He wasn’t able to go for help and so he finally died. His wife after several days of loneliness and deep grief at last announced her intentions of taking a small fishing boat and going to find her husband. The next morning she left just as day was breaking. The weather was foul and the winds terrific, but nothing could keep her from going. In the latter part of the morning the force of the winds increased and her small vessel was tom and dashed to pieces. She could not swim and was finally washed up on shore not far from where her husband lay. The people who lived around the cove said that for many years at night they could see the forms of a man and a woman flitting around in the cove and could hear sounds like some one hammering and putting together some construction which appeared to be a boat as seen in the dusk, but in the daylight nothing could be seen. It was thought that the man and his wife were rebuilding the old ship getting ready to go back to their home on the coast. 69 —Florence Ogle.

Finally he started ad her donum he timebant something had happened. Alas something was happening that vulernabant the boy very much but he was fortissimus et did not show his feelings. Through the window he saw the puellam, sua girl he had thought, laughing et talking cum another puero, his veteranus rivrl. —Edith Eytcheson. Alla Urnr (That Suite Ifonr A long time ago there lived in the urbe of Roma a beautiful puella named Portia. Next to the girls domo habitat a young homo named Claudius to whom she erat soon to be married. One evening veniet to her domo seeming very miser. He dixit that he must go to Brittanian videre his patrem who was very ill. He departed et tres longi weeks passed. Interim she has received an epistulam announcing that he had per-venerat safely, et quod his pater was much better they would navigant on the nave, Titanica, postero week. Tempus passed Celerita. Uno die when Portia ambulabat via she heard a newsboy cry, Extra! Extra! Large Navis Wrecked!” She purchased a paper and timens read the account. She turrebatur quod multi homines had been drowned. Sed no list erat ibi. She expectabat for news in vain. Having answered the S. O. S. call, a rescuing nave; was pervenire Romae quattur diebus. Die pervenito, Portia et pater expectabat anxiously at the port. The navis veniet sailing in. The passengers alighted. Ecce! Duo Homines approached. The unus erat Veteramus et infirmus: The other Portia recognovit to be Claudius. Flens she ran ad eum rejoicing qucd omnis bene erat. Post Scriptum Apologiae ad Shakespeaream. 70 —Gladys Reddick. THE SYLLABUS (i,hr (Chiursf Puzzle anil ts £ nlutimt Among the many attempts to analyze the Chinese situation and the Chinese state of mind, few go so far as to offer any real solution. There are possibly not only one, but two solutions that can be seen at the present time. Also there are with these solutions the reasons for supporting them. The first of these is the most common one; the appearance of a great leader, who, although every great military chief who comes to the fore is hailed as such, has not yet come. The alternative to this is foreign intervention. China is a country rich in territory and man-power without much else. Except for her industrious folk the “vast natural resources” of China are very much a myth. The greatest essential to productivity in China is simply peace, without which the country soon becomes a heavy liability on the rest of the world. The beginning of the governmental disintegration and warfare dates from the declaration of an almost wholly unwanted Republic. The Chinese people have never been trained to think about public affairs, much less participate in them. In fact they have been reminded from generation to generation for three thousand years that government affairs were strictly none of their business. Tne great Imperial Court constituted the only check upon what was already a rapacious officialdom. One has only to read a Chinese book on mortality to learn that the official was properly regarded as the imperially licensed exploiter of his territory under no obligation to give up any more of his loot than could be extracted from him by force. Traditions are hard to break in China, and those beliefs of the government persisted when after the declaration of the democracy in 1812. A comparatively small group of young Chinese enthusiasts made it appear to the west that this was a chance for which the great masses of people had long been hungering. But in reality the masses went about their own affairs with no idea of participating or cooperating to regulate the government. The only ones to appreciate that the state was headless were the military leaders who promptly usurped every position from the Presidency on down. While Yuan Shih-kai lived, things went on about as before the change for he maintained a hold similar to that of the Emperor upon the Provincial military chiefs. After his death in 1916, each chief became sole head of his army and these recognized no central power. Decentralization and demoralization were the only factors in the state that made any progress whatsoever. Interprovincial warfare became more and more common and to keep their ever increasing armies, the military Governors began to intercept revenues made out for Peking. They imposed new taxes and openly looted the people. Treachery is the rule now in China rather than the exception. Ambitious upstarts have found out that the value of revolutions and new declarations of Independence would make better their own positions—if at all temporarily. No commander dares to give power to any other man or helper who is not in sight. The hundreds of decent, honest, self-respecting men who do not at all like the state of affairs in their country, have almost all followed the Chinese traditional avoidance of trouble and have retired from public life and public affairs. Regardless of this state of things Chinese that are abroad and many foreigners are clamoring for the surrender of all foreign rights in China, mostly the doing away with the system of extra-territorial jurisdiction, which is all that in any way protects the foreign resident in China today. China must work out her own salvation is the unthinking watchword of those who 1 THE SYLLABUS do not realize that China’s only hope depends in the first instant on a government that can guarantee the people peace, order and security. China is very badly in need of a heavy handed master who can put the checks back on officialdom that were relaxed when the Empire fell. It must be shown that the people cannot control their masters. The style of government that suits the Anglo-Saxon cannot be cut to fit the Chinese. The supporters of the widely advertised “nationalism” are a few of them sincere, young enthusiasts; some are Russian inspired, the rest are the plundering classes who see in a return to the old order or in foreign intervention the end to free and unbothered exploitation. These provisions which secure the foreigner and his investments, also secure slight rights for the Chinese. Newspapers which the Chinese military leaders cannot suppress, and a hiding in foreign communities, where the whole commercial life of China now centers. It is clearly recognized that nothing but force or a show of determination to use force could ever induce the bandit kings to submit to any kind of discipline. Every time a seemingly forceful figure comes up in the horizon and introduces himself with a few successions, thousands of foreigners and millions of Chinese turn towards him as they would the rising sun and hope fervently that China’s Mussolini has appeared at last. And all the while the task before the prospective savior becomes more difficult and the material at hand becomes poorer quality. The ready and easy alternative to the “Chinese Mussolini” who refuses to appear is, of course, international intervention. One has only to murmur this to hear all of the nationalists fume and the military leaders rage. Chinese resistance to such intervention would, however be trifling. In spite of all the nomense published about China’s “legitimate asperatlons” there is ample evidence to show that the masses of the Chinese people would welcome any change, however rad.cal, which would take part of the weight from their many tribulations. The obstacle to the suggestion is not any force in China that might oppose intervention, but scandalized public opinion in Great Britain and America where our good folks are far from realizing that the sympathy which they might with good cause lavish upon the Chinese people is not extended in support of the China they might want to he.p which is the prostrate victim of the mo; t destructive and cruelist militaristic system of modern times but goes to bolster up the cause of China’s worst enemies, her own native exploiters. The solution lies within herself. Can she succeed? We most certainly hope so. —Charlton Mills. 72 THE SYLLABUS ($. IE.

THE 8YL L ABUS - “SiatUusum” They had been “dating” for almost a year. He was very collegiate—and she worked in a downtown department store. He was young, handsome, and a gentleman. She was young, pretty, and altho not a polished one—a lady. After the theatre they hailed a cab. When they were seated she said, “Let’s take a little ride—the night air is so refreshing after the stuffy old theatre.” He, because he was a gentleman and because he wanted to please her, ordered the man to drive thru the park. Fearfully he fumbled in his pocket, trying to count the change there. It would just do it, he decided, if he dismissed the cab and took the trolley back The cab stopped in front of the dingy boarding house where she and another girl stayed—in two little rooms on the fourth floor. The stairs were long and steep. “Shall I carry you?” he asked with a laugh, but in an undertone so as not to wake the sleeping house. She looked him over with a slow, contemptuous, yet tender glance, which said plainly, “You poor little fellow!” With a fine outburst of energy, characteristic of his youth and southern blood, he seized her and carried her like a child. He was a sturdy, strapping boy even if his skin was fair like a girl’s. He went up the first flight at a breath—loving the weight suspended about his neck by two lovely, dimpled arms. The second flight was longer and not so pleasant. It seemed to him that with every step she hung heavier and heavier. She was wearing heavy bracelets which at first seemed to caress his neck—they now sank slowly and painfully into his flesh. At the third flight he was panting like a piano mover. When it seemed that his bieath was failing him, she tightened her arms slightly and murmured, “Oh, how nice this is! And how comfortable I am!” The last stairs, which he climbed one by one, seemed never end'ng. It was no longer a pretty girl he was carrying but something very heavy—and which nearly smothered him. He was tempted to drop her—to throw her angrily to the ground, but he refrained. When they reached the narrow landing she opened her eyes and sighed, “Already?” What he thot was “At last—and is it possible?” But he could not speak because his lungs seemed to be bursting. He was very pale. He let her drop out of his arms and turned without a word and slowly and painfully descended the stairs. As he was waiting for the trolley he absent-mindedly put his hand into his pocket and pulled out his dime—it was only a nickel! Disgusted, he turned and walked toward the river. The next morning when his body was found it was rumored that he had been despondent over an unhappy love affair! Another college suicide! 79 —Mary E. Aldred.
