UNT BETSY was a typical old negro mammy, although in her veins ran the blood of three races; the red, the white and the black. Doubtless this racial mixture accounted for her shrewdness and sense of humor, characteristics usually lacking in the dull, stupid negro of pure African descent. She retained, however, and in great abundance, many traits that infallibly appear in the true southern darkey, fore- most among which was her love of pomp and show. On this particular morning in June, Aunt Betsy was down at the big house doin ' up the clothes. Mrs. Landon, her mistress, (always called Miss Jane by Aunt Betsy) was reading on the front porch. A large black negro seated upon a lean gray horse rode up to the mounting block, dismounted, threw the reins over the drooping head of his steed, and made his way to the back door. Very soon after his disappearance around the corner of the house, Mrs. Landon heard Aunt Betsy break off in the middle of the fifth stanza of Old Time Religion and join in conversation with him. He reappeared in a few minutes and mounting his horse, rode away. Mrs. Landon, watching him as he rounded a curve, was startled by Aunt Betsy exclaiming, from the doorway, Law! Miss Jane, honey, don ' he look han ' some; an ' ain ' t he got on the most elegant clothes? Evidently Aunt Betsy had been impressed by the red flannel shirt and black and white striped trousers of her caller. With great difficulty Miss Jane refrained from laughing as Aunt Betsy continued, Yas, Miss Jane, an ' he ' s rich, too, ' deed he am. He ' s got a boss an ' buggy. Again Mrs. Landon managed to cheek a smile. Is he any relation to you, Aunt Betsy? she inquired, wondering why he had made such an early morning call Oh jio! not yet, honey, not yet, she replied, rolling her eyes upward and grinning broadly. But that ain ' t sayin ' he wouldn ' t like to be; ' cause that ' s perzactly what he ' s aftah. He wants to marry my gal Ploribel an ' he ain ' t the man ah thought she was agoin ' to marry eitha. That doesn ' t make anj ' difference, does it, Aunty? her mistress asked, hoping that she would tell the response she had made to the seeker of her daughter ' s hand. Wal, ah don ' t ' spose it do, the old woman replied thoughtfully after a moment ' s consideration. Ise mostly foun ' that one man ' s jest as good as another, if you know ject perzactly how to handle ' em an ' ah ' spose ah ought to know most as much about it as anybody. Here she stopped and meditated deeply for a moment. Then, looking up with a beaming smile, she added, ' Cause you see Obidiah, he am my fourth. Mrs. Landon laughed delightedly at this reply of Aunt Betsy ' s, for this old servant was a never failing source of amusement to her mistress. Did you make his heart happy, Aunty? she asked after a few moments. Well, ah ' spose ah did, she answered with a doubtful shake of her head. Ah tol ' him dat if he wuz good to her dat wuz all right, but if he wuzn ' t he could jest set her back in the yard whah ' he foun ' her. You alls comin ' to the weddin ' , ain ' t you? she inquired of her mistress before she departed for the kitchen. Certainly, I ' d love to come, but when is it to be? Why, Saturday night o ' ' cose, ' cause George Henry Edward, dats de groom, he say dey ain ' t goin ' to be no full moon in July, so we gotta have it dis month, an ' if George Henry say dey ain ' t no full moon, now dey ain ' t. The old woman then began to relate the wedding plans that her active mind had already made. Dey ' 11 be married at Half past seven an ' we ' ll have flowah girls, and best mans and best ladies and everything. Ne ' n we ' ll have suppah and nen dance till mawnin. We ' ll call you all when it ' s time foh the ceremony. With this Aunt Betsy returned to her work, dreaming at intervals of the Saturday night feast and dance. At seven twenty-five Saturday evening Mrs. Landon seated herself on the porch and patiently awaited the expected summons. Seven thirty came and passed. Eight thirty! Mrs. Landon began to grow impatient. What could have happened? Some great calamity must have occurred for no ordinary disaster would be of sufficient importance to delay a darkey wedding this long. She made many anxious surmises, but none seemed to satisfy her impatience. Nine thirty came and passed; and at ten thirty, just as Mrs. Landon, pre- pared for the worst, was ready to start an investigation, a sleepy little picka- ninny presented himself and announced that it was time for the wedding. Mrs. Landon walked the short distance to the cabin, very much puzzled as to what the delay should be about, but she wisely asked no questions, knowing that she would be informed the following Monday. The ceremony took place on the small porch of the cabin. Everything and everybody was there, including the white gloves and the flower girls. Mrs. Landon could see no apparent cause for the delay unless George Henry had been late, for he turned and twisted and grinned as if he were intoxicated. The ceremony was finished in due time, however, and after wishing the couple much happiness Mrs. Landon returned home. Aunt Betsy appeared early Monday morning and asked Mrs. Landon to tell her how she liked the wedding. It was very nice indeed, Auntie, but what made it so late and why did the groom turn and twist so much? Aunt Betsy drew a deep sigh, then laughed heartily before replying, Why, Miss Jane, didn ' t you see my little boys back there sticMn ' pins in George Henry Edward? At the look of horror on her mistress ' face she added, ' ' Dey really didn ' t mean no harm, dey jest wanted to make him laugh. ' ' Now I ' ll tell you what made the weddin ' so late. Well, you know, Miss Jane, de best man done los ' his white gloves, an ' you know dey can ' t git mar- ried on one pair of white gloves. Well, you see, dat ' s what took up de time. I drove almos ' fifteen miles huntin ' dat boy a pair of gloves. Did you find any? inquired Mrs. Landon. Lawdy, no chile! ah didn ' t fin ' none anywhah ah drove to, but ah ' 11 tell you all what ah did. Ah had de groom to put his right han ' glove on and put his lef ' han ' in his pocket. Den ah had de bes ' man put de lef ' han ' glove on his right han ' an ' put his lef, han ' in his pocket an ' you couldn ' t tell de difference, could you, Miss Jane, now could you? LIFE L STELLA HELLEWELL, ' 22. IFE CAN be one grand sweet song If we keep on smiling; If we fight against the wrong And cease from all reviling. We can make life what we will. Scatter sunshine through it If we mean to climb a hill We can surely do it. Life can be one summer day If we face it squarely. Woe and care will flee away. Met by us most bravely. If we scatter gladness round Life is worth the living, Joy and happiness are found In hoping, loving, giving. A MfIEfrJ)Kf7C ESTHER JONES, ' 21. LOVELY red rose in a garden bloomed, In an old fashioned garden it grew, Where marigold, poppies, asters and pinks Grew alongside the wandering Jew ; But the rose held it ' s head aloof from the rest, Very proud and indignant was she To be placed in a garden with such homely flowers At the side of an ugly old tree. So she turned her face upward toward the blue sky, And lived in a world of her own, While the others grew round at the foot of the bush, And though hurt, left her all alone. But a sudden cloud rose one June afternoon. And the heavy drops beat on her face Till her petals dropped off. Soon forgotten was she And another rose bloomed in her place. EOEOIOO T ESTHER JONES, ' 21. HE SUN is sinking in the west, The birds are chattering in their nest, The day is almost done. A light breeze stirs the tree-tops high, Who answer with a long, soft sigh, And curt ' sy to the sun. The breeze now stirs the garden flowers, Carrying their perfume to the distant bowers, And all is calm and still. The sun ' s red tip sinks out of sight, While a bright star ushers in the night. Twinkling o ' er yonder hiU. The laborer from his work comes now, And the soft breeze cools his heated brow, So sweet and so caressing. He trudges on with home in mind, Where comfort he is sure to find, Along with God ' s own blessing. mm ' BEET mm (Uncle Bill Bottletop ' s reflections on H.C.of L.) FRANCES EUDALY, ' 23.

HE SUN creeping through the window of a small but dainty apartment might have wondered why its sole occupants seemed so gay. Why did they dash around backwards and forwards, their bright eyes gleaming, tails flashing. Perhaps it was because the clock on the mantlepiece had just struck five, which of course, meant that the little lady of the place would return then, the carefully laid fire would begin to crackle and the teacups would rattle and the friendly little teapot would sing its merry song. Well, any one who had studied the mannerisms of goldfish might tell us that they were just naturally happy. Nevertheless the sun was sure something was going to happen, but alas, sad Fate, he would never know. He must help the ' ' dawn come up like thunder in China ' cross the bay. ' ' The door unaccustomed to being dashed open so violently croaked volubly in revolt, but was absolutely unheeded by the young girl who dashed in with eyes as bright as (you know) and cheeks as red as (oh, well). Flinging off her things she then lighted the fire, stood up and glanced about the room, espied Micky and Dicky Goldfish in the same condition as the sun had seen them. Oh, you know it, don ' t you dearies? Never, never another type writer. Mr. Deely will never say dictation to me again. And snatching out a letter from her pocket she read it again for the fifteenth time. Dear Miss Branon: It has been my duty to inform you of the death of your uncle, Ralph Branon, whom, no doubt you have never seen. As you are one of his rightful heirs a good deal will be yours, the amount of which you will be told of later. Sincerely yours, FEANK HIRK. I ' ll tell Mable about it tomorrow, she thought gleefully and busied her- self among the teacups. Mable Harmand was the only friend of Margaret Branon in that large city where Margaret, an orphan, had come to earn her living. Mable was also an older and wiser woman. The next morning at about ten thirty the sun decided to have another glimpse at the little apartment but this time in the bedroom. To his surprise the bed still held its occupant who stretched and yawned in contentment. Guess I ' ll phone Mable now. After that the mail will be here. In a few minutes Mable was listening to the exciting tale of Margaret ' s good fortune and promised to be there soon and hear more. An hour or so later Mable opened the door and to her surprise there in the chair sat Margaret sobbing her heart out. What ' s the matter? Isn ' t it true? cried Mable. Oh the horrid thing, how awful, oh dear, oh dear, came in sobs. Yes, its true, but he only left me a formula for soap. Look at this. Dear Miss Branon: We are glad to inform you of your great fortune in receiving this formula for soap. Your uncle spent so many years in making this recipe. It is guaranteed to take out any spot on any rug or carpet. Sincerely yours, FRANK HIRK. I ' m so sorry but never mind, we will try it and see, said Mable. Try it and see — pooh, there ' s lots of soap in the drug store. Well, you just wait. First we have to have a man. A man? Yes, you know — to buy the ingredients and put it on the market. Well, how are you going to get one, I ' d like to know. We ' ll advertise. Never mind now. You wait.  Mr. Jack Peters glanced casually over the want ads in the paper. One of them fixed his attention or was it his curiosity, most gluedly. Any vay he de- cided to investigate and call on the young lady, with a paying scheme for a young man with a little money. Mable opened the door. Jack wished to fly. Young lady, huh he said to himself. Nevertheless curiosity again led him on where upon he was introduced to the lady in waiting. Mable poured out the tale with agent-like skill. By George, won ' t she shut up. Of course I ' m going to. Look at that girl, gee! He said to himself again. Eventually the tiny apartment became a mad house. Jack swathed in a huge apron and flourishing a large spoon, looked like a pastry cook. Margaret likewise, but she didn ' t flourish a spoon. She merely reproved Jack for the scummy stuff he spread over the walls, chairs and floor. But that soap wouldn ' t harden. Nearly ten days elapsed. Each day different amounts were added, but still it wouldn ' t harden. Margaret began to be discouraged but Jack was very light-hearted. I wonder why. The eleventh day nearly gone. Let ' s put in a teaspoonful of this said Jack holding up a bottle. They both bent down over the seething mass. You are the prettiest thing I ever saw. The bottle was held in mid-air. I ' m crazy about you. The dark fluid poured from the bottle. Won ' t you please? , The bottle was empty. It was suspended several minutes. • • • • Oh, Jack, you ' ve emptied the bottle. So I have, but look it is hardening. Yes, it is, Mable, come quick, the soap hardened and I am going to be married. Mable rushed in. Let ' s see if it works. They tried it. It worked — . Wei see if we can sell it. They did. • • • • • The sun decided to have a peep in another apartment, a large and lovely one, one evening about five o ' clock. Where have I seen these goldfish before thought he. Well, what do you know about that. Mr. and Mrs. Peters sat in their new apartment. The fire was crackling and the little teapot singing. I ' m so happy said Mrs. Peters. ' ' So am I and the factory is just fine ' ' said Mr. Peters. Mr. Peters went over to Mrs. Peters — bent over her. The sun blinked expectantly. But sad Fate, he would never know, he must help the dawn come up like thunder in China ' cross the bay. ■4r. mm M I KATHRYN KIRSCH, ' 22.

There, on those few pages, were the words of her valedictorian speech, on which she had worked so hard for so long. Well, thank goodness, it ' s finished, she said, and just then her brother entered. Well Jinny, have you com-plete-d that won-der- ful speech that you ' re going to give as a what? Let ' s hear it. Valedictory. No Friday night you ' ll hear it, m ' dear. Not till then. Ta, ta. Commencement night came with the stir of excite- ment that it always brings. The auditorium was rapidly being filled, ushers were flitting here and there. A constant hum of whispers and an occasional flutter of fans could be faintly heard over the audience. Behind the curtain the Seniors were all talking in groups, occasionally stealing near the curtain to catch sight of some fond parent or friend. Virginia Geoffreys paced the floor of the stage, nervously folding and unfolding the manuscript, which contained her valedictory. The curtain slowly rose and the exercises then began. Meanwhile as the time for her speech drew near Virginia repeatedly rehearsed her lines. Friends and Patrons of Sanford High School and Fellow Classmates — Friends and Patrons of — Friends — oh! I can ' t give it! And as the time drew nearer she felt that she could not. Here was everybody that she knew and more besides — oh — but her lips formed in a hard, straight line for she realized she had to give it anyway. Just then Virginia heard a familiar voice speak out, I take great pleasure in now introducing Miss Virginia Geoffreys, who will favor lis with a few words. ' ' Virginia bit her lip hard and arose. My ! that sea of faces ! She must smile. There-now-she felt more confident. Then she began in a rather weak voice: Friends and Patrons of Sanford, and FeUow-Classmates — we — we — and Fel- low Class — we-a — Oh! she thought miserably to herself — she had forgotten the very first words. She started again glancing in despair over her listeners. Then, as she began slowly repeating the first words of her speech, she happened to glance at a sign on the door of one of the ' ' exits. ' ' It read : ' ' Take Your Time. As Virginia dimly made out the words of that sign she was braced up with a new hope. She must take her time. Take her time Then, letting her eyes again wander over the audience, she breathed deeply and began slowly with new confidence : ' ' Friends and Patrons of Sanf ord High School and Fellow Classmates. ' ' Her mind gradually cleared and the words of her speech rolled glibly and smoothly from her tongue. At the end of her talk, Virginia returned to her seat, flushed and relieved. She knew she had done especially well — but, if it hadn ' t been for that re- assuring sign on the door .... The next day, in a large gilt edged frame, there was hung in Virginia ' s room the motto, Take Your Time, words she was never to forget. o TH[ OftG m ESTHER JONES, ' 21. NLY a small, ragged child Whose clothes were all dirty and torn, Trudging along through the crowd With his little face haggard and worn. As he carefully edged his way Fearing to trouble someonet The passers-by only glanced, Shuddered and hurried on. He seemed to belong to no one And nobody seemed to care; , But oh! that expressive face Showing beneath his brown hair, On it were traces of pain, With all signs of happiness gone. Most likely a life to be ruined. While the world goes carelessly on. mim I ELIZABETH SMITH, ' 23. WONDER why the trees are green, They might as well be blue; I wonder why the fish don ' t fly. That ' s kinda ' funny, too. I wonder why I ' m not a boy Instead of just a girl; In fact, I wonder quite so much, My brain is in a whirl.

IS half past two by the clock on the wall, And the minutes go by with their weary call, Said the book to the desk, I need a rest, For the last two years I have done my best. But the desk replied, with a cheerful voice, You must do your duty, you have no choice. ' Tis so with us, we are like the book; We would like to rest in some shady nook. But the teacher says with a smile on his face, That we must not stop, but go on with the race; Until at last our reward is won, When we graduate and our school work ' s done. THE ariGERBRE b m ALICE COBB, 7- A. OW, SIR, by the time you ' re cooled it ' ll be dinnertime and I ' ll make a meal of you, said the old woman as she laid the gingerbread boy on the table to cool. But she was mistaken for Johnny, the gingerbread boy, didn ' t in the least enjoy the idea of being eaten ; so when she went out of the room he rolled off the table and stole out. Just as he got outdoors a hurricane came up and blew him far, far away. The spot where he landed was the most beautiful place he had ever seen. Eveiywhere as far as the eye could reach were roses, roses, roses. There were no weeds anywhere and none of the roses had thorns. Suddenly out of the huge embankment of glorious pink flowers there stepped the prettiest little fellow Johnny had ever imagined. Around his waist was a pink sash and he boasted some tiny transparent wings. Over his shoulder was a pink strap which held a quiver full of arrows, all pink. Friend, said Cupid (for that was who he was) I know that you are one so I will give you this warning. At the stroke of midnight the wicked fairies will take possession of Pink Land. Im- mediately the land will turn to burnt pie crust and the beautiful rose water of the rivers to black ink. Escape while you may, my friend. Fare- well. And he vanished among the roses. But Johnny, in the beauties of Pink Land, soon forgot Cupid ' s warning and light-heartedly went his way. At the first stroke of midnight from the fairy clock Cupid again appeared before him. You have taken no heed of my warning, he said sternly, ' ' and therefore must suffer the conse- quences. But out of pity I will give you a gift and further warning which you must take heed of if you care for your life. He took a pink arrow and gave it to Johnny, saying as he did so: Let no one Imow you have it and speak to no one. A single word may take your life; that is till you are far away from Pink Land. ' ' Clang ! It was the eleventh stroke and Cupid was gone. Clang! It was the twelfth. There was a terrible earthquake that made the ground under- neath Johnny tremble and rock terribly. When Johnny looked - ? around again Pink Land was gone; and, as Cupid had said, there was burnt pie crust for miles around. About half past twelve he heard a dreadful racket and lookinjr around saw the whole army of wicked fairies bearing down upon him. They were indeed terrible. Some were ghosts, some giants, some skeletons, and some were wizards. Beside them ran the witches five thousand strong. In a great cage they carried was a pretty girl, evidently a dweller of Pink Land, whom they had caught. She was crying and sobbing pitifuUy. Johnny immediately forgot Cupid ' s second warning and ran forward shout- ing, I vdll help you! At his first word the beautiful features of the girl faded away and in her place stood a horrible witch with gleaming red eyes and a nose a foot long. You have spoken! she screamed. I have you in my power. Come, you must get in this cage. Trembling, Johnny obeyed. After a few more miles of traveling they stopped and put up camp. The witches took the cage to a lonely spot in the woods and hung it in a tree. Then they all went away. Johnny didn ' t know what to do until suddenly he remembered the pink arrow. I wonder what it is for, he said to himself as he took it out of his inner coat pocket. As he touched the point of the arrow there was a jingling of bells and a folded piece of paper fell at his feet. The paper contained a tiny silver eagle and these words : Pull off the eagle ' s right leg and swallow it. This will give you strength to pull open the cage doors. But then the witches will attempt to catch you. When they do, free the eagle. This will cast a spell over them so that they can neither move nor speak. Say aloud the name of the place to which you wish to go. To Gingerbread Land! ex- claimed Johnny joyfully and immediately pulled off the left leg instead of the right one and swallowed it. Then he heard a voice like Cupid ' s say: You have swallowed the wrong leg, so instead of going ' ' ' to Gingerbread Land, as you wished, you must go to Candy Land. Johnny stood aghast. What a mistake he had made! But this seemed the only way to escape so he took it. The cage doors opened easUy enough and he started out. But as you shall see all his traveling was not to be so simple. In fact, before he had gone five steps there com- menced howling and screeching behind him and he saw the witches with their broom-sticks coming nearer at a furious rate. He scarcely had time to let the eagle fly before he hurried on. So he made his escape. Soon he was outside of what had been Pink Land and after that it was not long until he reached Candy Land. The land here was rock candy and the rivers were of melted sugar. The houses, furniture and in fact everything was made of candy. The people spoke in a sticky way and really were very sweet, but as Johnny had practically no taste for that particular delicacy — candy — he did not care to stay here, so he asked the way to Gingerbread Land of the first person he met. He found that he had to go along the road he had been traveling. About the time he reached the school house he found that he was growing dreadfully hungry. Though not caring for candy he had to have something to appease his hunger, so he picked up a little candy school boy (who was only four inches high) and ate him. Then he pulled off the roof of the schoolhouse, which disappeared in a like manner. When the teacher came out to see what all the excitement was about Johnny broke him into a thousand pieces. After a long time he came to a great arched gateway over which was a sign reading: GINGER BREAD LAND (The Ginger bread people always spell bread with a capital). Home at last! Johnny started to run and then stopped in surprise. Every- one was dressed in black and all the buildings were draped in it. But Avhy? What was the reason? He rushed up to the palace and gasped with dismay as he saw that it too was draped in black. As he was well known in Ginger- bread Land he was not molested by any guards as he ran up the steps. The queen met him on the veranda. Little sugary tears were running down her plump doughy countenance and she was plainly very, very sad. What is the matter, Your Majesty? asked Johnny. The King is dead, she answered simply. Now Johnny had always loved the queen, so he did not lose this chance to propose to her and — she accepted. So that afternoon, instead of a funeral there was a wedding. The next day they had the other king ' s funeral, and after that Johnny and his Gingerbread Queen lived happily ever after. mm 1 MARGARET KASTING, 8-B. IS SPRING, again ' tis Spring!

ASTON PIERROT, (born Isaac Bergstein), was a poor struggling poet blest with rich friends and a Puri- tanical sense of moralty. He declared that if he had wished to debase himself by writing popular, foolish, love poems he could have achieved fame and fortune in a minute. As it was, however, he confined himself to the writing of verses praising the beauties of Nature and New York and was the founder and president of the Society for the Supres- sion of Indecent Verse. One day having, it seemed, exhausted all of his old subject matter, he resolved to make a name for himself by writing an epic dealing with the adven- tures of a castaway on a South Sea Island. He would go to some far off archi- pelago, live as a native for a few months, and then come back with a poem that would vin for him the praise of the entire world. So he went to his friend, Reginald Reading, who, on hearing the plan, agreed to leave him on some perfectly respectable desert island. • • • • • Two months later we find Reggie and Gaston chatting on the deck of Reggie ' s yacht, anchored off the shore of a beautiful, but apparently unin- habited island, of the Marquesas group. In a small boat, moored to the side of the yacht was a sea chest which Reggie had packed, and which Gaston was not to open until after his first night on the island. Although it was still early morning, the merciless raj ' s of the southern sun beat down on the deck, causing Reggie to sweat and swear while the more gentle Gaston merely perspired. About nine o ' clock Gaston stepped in his dory and began to row ashore. As the great swells bore him along, the yacht slowly steamed away and when he had landed it was only a speck on the horizon. He pulled his boat high upon the beach and began to set up a camp. When he had finished his work he was almost starving — at least it seemed starvation to Gaston, so he lunched on a cocoanut and some salt water. After his lunch he set out to explore the island; after about an hour ' s search he became greatly worried because he had found no cave. Weren ' t there always caves on desert islands? There had been on all the desert islands which he had read about in Robinson Crusoe, Swiss Family Robinson, and Jules Verne. It would be pure folly to attempt to live on a desert island without a cave. It simply wasn ' t being done. After he had walked along the shore for several miles he came to a large, sluggish stream which flowed into the ocean. He followed the stream inward for about half a mile, until it broadened out into a large, peaceful lagoon. Gaston believed it to be the most beautiful place he had ever seen. He sat on the beach, entranced by the beauty of his surroundings. It was growing late, the sun set, and the stars came out one by one and there he fell asleep under the pale light of the Southern Cross. He awoke about two o ' clock in the morning; the stars were shining brightly and a red glow appeared behind a hill across the lagoon; the chills crept up and down his spine as he heard the rythmical beating of many tom-toms and the chanting of a thousand uncivilized men. The terrified Gaston burrowed down into the sand, his hair stood on end, and he trembled from head to foot. After what seemed an interminable length of time the noise faded into a few unintelligible shouts, and then died away altogether. Tired as he was, sleep would not come and he lay there terrified, until the light of dawn appeared in the eastern sky. On arising he hurried back to his camp, but found that it had been un- molested during the night. Then, remembering that he had passed his first night on the island, he opened the chest which Reggie had packed. To his surprise and disappointment all that it contained was a wireless apparatus and a box of writing materials. On a book of radio instructions was written the injunction: Use this when you get cold feet. Gaston could have wept. Then, in search of adventure, he set out to look for any traces of the savages, who had so terrified him during the night. Not far beyond the stream which flowed from the lagoon, he discovered the smouldering remains of a great campfire; around the fire was a great circle made by hundreds of human feet, like the fairy rings of old England. Near the fire was a mound of large white rocks and sand. However, on going closer, Gaston was nearly petrified vith horror as he realized that the stones were human skulls and the sand the ashes of human bodies. When he regained control of himself, he fled in terror to the banks of the lagoon, where he threw himself on the sand, gasping for breadth. Here he lay for hours, dazed and terrified. When he finally came to his senses he began to carefully observe the scene in order to be able to describe it more accurately in verse, as a setting for his master poem. It seemed to him that he could feel the presence of some human being. Yes, at the top of a high rock on the opposite bank of the lagoon he saw the figure of a woman outlined against the sky. She slowly bent forward and dove into the sparkling water thirty feet beneath her. Gaston held his breath until he saw that she was again safe at the top of the bluff. As she stood there with her arms upraised for another dive the rays of the after- noon sun struck her full in the face. There silhouetted against the sky was the most beautiful woman Gaston had ever seen; her dusky face was lit up with the fire of happiness and the joy of life. Gaston felt a strange emotion sweep over him which he had never felt before; it was a case of love at first sight. As she plunged into the water he cried out in fear, but although she left the water immediately, she disappeared into the woods. When the trees hid her from view, Gaston returned slowly to his camp on the shore. He had eaten nothing during the day, but he was not hungry. He sat there on his chest, gazing out to sea, but he neither heard nor saw the waves breaking over the reef of coral. His mind and heart were back at that inland pool with the Marquesan Venus diving into the clear, blue water. He remained there for hours, motionless as a statute, unconscious of anything around him. When he finally awoke from his reverie it was past midnight. The stars were gleaming down at him from their places in the heavens. He heard again the beating of the distant drums and the wailing song of the cannibals, but they no longer held any terrors for him. In the joy of his new found happiness he felt himself safe from all bodily harm. The barbarous song was sweet music to his ears; he christened his new home the Isle of Perfect Love, and then dozed off into a peaceful slumber, lulled to sleep by the imaginary sound of her voice. On waking in the morning he seized his pen and paper and dashed off his first love poem, To a Marquesan Venus. After finishing this first attempt, he learned that he could write verses of love until the end of time and then he would have touched one phase of the subject. By noon he had written no less than twenty-seven separate poems — enough to fill a book. Then, realizing how foolish he had been in former years, he wirelessed back his resignation as presi- dent of the Society for the Suppression of Indecent Verse. What a sensation it would create in New York literary circles! Then, after eating a light lunch, he set out to find his soul-mate. Near the cannibals ' fire he discovered a well beaten path which led off into the forest. He followed this inland, confident that it would lead him to her home. Soon he came to a group of deserted thatch huts, adorned with human skulls and bones, but hideous as they were, he was not frightened and continued his search. The path made a sharp turn and there, in a small clearing, Avith her back toward him, was the girl of the lagoon. A thick skirt enveloped her from the shoulders to the knees, a coral necklace encircled her throat and she seemed to be removing a garland of flowers from the thick, black, glossy hair which reached below her waist. But to his great horror, instead of removing merely the wreath, she lifted the hair from her head and dropped it to the ground, un- covering a hideous mop of bobbed, peroxided f rizziness. Gaston groaned. The girl turned and he recognized Dottie Darlington, the movie queen. Just then a white man, whom Gaston recognized as a famous moving picture director, rushed into the clearing; and with a cry of, Save me, dearie! Dottie sank into his arms. Disgusted, Gaston fled from the scene, and did not stop until he reached his boat. There he immediately set up his radio apparatus and wirelessed for Reggie to come and take him home. When he was safe on the yacht he began to tell his experiences to Reggie, who listened patiently for a while and then burst into a roar of laughter. Then he told Gaston that he had known all the time that the Sextangle Film Com- pany was taking scenes for their master picture, Marquesan Love, on this island, and that he had purposely left Gaston there, thinking that perhaps it might cure him of some of his foolish ideas about poetry. It had. « • • • Is it all true? Well, we ' re not sure, but it makes a wonderful publicity for Gaston ' s new book of poems, To A Marquesan Venus. mm h tf E5TMER J90D I WftLKEb BEJIbE h mmim 5TROi(n WHEUE B0TTER.daF5 Mii VIOLET?

C. the call of Jehovah came to Abraham, bidding him arise and leave his native Ur of the Chaldees and journey into a strange and unknown land, where it was promised that, with Divine aid, he should gain renown for himself and his line and be the father of a race that would be numbered as the stars of the heavens and the sand of the sea-shore — just as the call came to him then, in that far-off time of antiquity, so it comes to us Seniors now in nineteen twenty-one A. D., as we leave the portals of our school, bidding us go forth into the world where we too may gain renown for ourselves and, more important than all, render some service that will make the world better for our having lived in it. It is the eaU of opportunity that comes, clear as a bugle and ring- ing distinctly in our ears — a call from God Himself arousing us to the possi- bilities that are in our path, if we will but make the most of the burning, present moment. Few ever hearken to this call but, turning a deaf ear upon it, go blindly along the pathway of life, not knowing what is ahead or on either side. For those who do hearken, however, and who make the most of their lives, there is nothing impossible of accomplishment. The whole world must, and always will, give way to the man who knows himself, who has proved himself superior to the environment in which he was born, and who, through his faith in God, is making the most of his life and is climbing upward towards his goal. But it were far better that the man had never lived who neglects his opportunities. The world will pay little heed to him and in no activity of life will he be given a place of prominence. Though his life may be gay and seem of much im- portance as he goes recklessly on, yet in his old age as he begins to acquire for the first time a bit of common sense, he will look back with regret at his wasted years and long for the impossible; that of living his life over. Seniors, the challenge is to us. Will we make the most of our opportunities and live such lives that will be examples to others, or will we spend our time uselessly and aimlessly? Will our lives be characterized at last by the world Success, or Failure ? We are young, and life, with all its opportunity, is before us. Let us begin now to spend our time and our energy profitably and to make the best of ourselves, so that at the end of our journey, when we look back, we may say with conviction, Had I my life to live over I would do likewise.

And attain our goals, then turn awhile To recall our High School days. ESTHER JONES, ' 21. HENRY ABBETT What is that mournful sound?

T here ' s a time in every high school, Be it great or be it small, When the students are so happy. Big and little, one and all; But it isn ' t in the autumn. Nor the winter, cold and stern When the lover ' s joy is dampened By the price of coal they burn; No, the time above all others when We ' re gay, and laugh and shout, Is when Spring has touched the campus, And the cases are all out. Then the teachers give short lessons, Mindful of their high school joys When in their own life ' s fair morning, They were happy girls and boys; And they murmur, ' ' Bless the children ! It can ' t hurt them! Let them go! For they ' ll have it all forgotten By next autumn, don ' t you know. High School cases seldom last long. But they ' re bad while they ' re enroute, Now that spring has touched the campus And the couples are all out. Oh! it ' s great to be a Wilson, And have a world-known name ; It ' s great to be a millionaire, And win newspaper fame; It ' s fun to be a little boy When a circus comes to town, Or it ' s great to be a teacher And to call the classes down. But for joy and real amusement. Better far, without a doubt. Be a student at Shields High School When the eases all are out.

HIGH mtL wc(Dm im: The High School D iscussion League, sponsored by Indiana University, is an organization which fosters and encourages public speaking in the high schools of the state. The subject given out yearly for discussion is always one of timely interest and Shields High School feels that it is greatly benefited by evei ' y contest in which it participates. Frank K. Miller was chosen at the local contest to represent Seymour and Alice M. Seymour was selected as alternate. Frank made a creditable showing for himself in the district contest at Madison, as all three of the judges gave him first place. Considerable enthusiasm was enkindled and great hopes were entertained for his chances in the state contest at Bloomington. Though his oration was very forceful and well given and his reasoning logical, the judges decided against him and our hopes were shattered. At present we are looking forward to see who will win the state contest for us next year. In the earlier part of the year a practice debate was held at assembly with the subject, Resolved, That the Wilson League of Nations be Accepted. The affirmative was supported by Frank Miller and Ralph Mack; the negative, by Harvey Green and Charles Maple. The arguments were given by members of both sides with special enthusiasm, as the national election was then pend- ing; and the school anxiously awaited the decision of the judges. Finally it came, and a peculiar one it was — a tie! yftOTY mm ml The Athletic Association was reorganized in October with Robert Keach, President; Frank Miller, Vice-president; Elsie Reider, Secretary and Joe Andrews, Treasurer. About three hundred members were enrolled. Much enthusiasm was aroused and when Coach Mitchell issued a call for candidates for the basketball team about thirty-five candidates responded of which about twenty remained throughout the season. Although the team lost some hard luck games at the beginning of the season their persistence told and they came through the season with a record of two-thirds won. The necessity of a good gymnasium was greatly felt as many people were turned away at every game and many of the teams that played here stated that it was their last visit to Seymour until a new gymnasium is built. Keach, Brackemeyer and Mack are the only three of the ten men who graduate and Coach Mitchell has great hopes of turning out one of the strongest teams in the state next year. ,...

' -tf fi ' 7 Ifed P ' HHB 1 | PLJ| Ti i a P E M WSL F f - y 4 Contrary to precedent the Juniors won the Inter-Class Bas- ketball Tournament this year by defeating the Seniors in the final game 9 - 5. The tournament this year attracted much attention as the three upper classes all put out strong teams and the outcome was doubtful. That the Juniors de- served what they won was proved by the hard games they had in the toui-nament and they had to fight for the title in every game. Due to the basketball spirit in the school this year we were able to organize two teams with inde- pendent schedules. The second team was very successful during the season of its debut, coming through the season with seven vic- tories and four defeats. The team was composed of the following members: Forwards Centers Guards SHIEL F. MISCH SCHARFENBEROER HONAN 0. KEACH ANDREWS HYATT WILSON Forward BANTA Center DEAL Guards FENTON (Capt.)

Several strong class teams were organized and toward the end of the season these teams were welded into a strong varsity team. The girls practiced long and hard and played several curtain raisers for the High School Varsity which never failed to be a big drawing card for the games. Girls ' basketball is becoming more popular in the school and al- though several games with outside schools were scheduled this year, only one was played but the girls have hopes of a schedule based on the varsity method next year. Spring sports were taken up very enthusiastically this year with emphasis on baseball. The season started with the Inter-Class Tournament which the Sophomores won by defeating the Juniors in the final game 12 - 1. The Big Four League, composed of Edinburg, Columbus, Shelbyville and Seymour was organized an d a schedule was arranged for the season. A new team had to be built up as we lost our entire infield and battery of last year by graduation. Captain Baldwin and Coach Henderson worked hard and turned out a strong team and as we only lose one man by graduation we have hopes of a big season next year. The line-up was as follows : Catcher — Capt. Baldwin Pitchers — Combs and Wilson First Base — Deal Second Base — Keach Third Base — Chenoweth Short-stop — Glasson Right Field — McClintock Center Field — EIasting Left Field — Banta Utility — Milbukn, Kaufman, Misamore Dee.

As I was tired in school one day I fell into a doze, And sad it is, that which I tell, I slept from head to toes. If you should skip, you made an A, For skipping was the rule; Or if you tried to take a rest You were not sent from school. I dreamed of many happy lands, Too numerous to tell ; These dreams did tend to make me think This world was all a cell. There was a basketball game each night, And never did they lose; They beat them all from Franklin down, And gave Columbus blues. Of one such land I now will tell, Of all its many joys; This one will be most pleasing To all the girls and boys. And when they shot they made a goal, And never hit a pipe ; They had a regulation gym, In length and breadth and height. Of course in this land there were schools. But they were not like ours ; For one need not be there on time Or keep the usual hours. Now in this school they had no class On any day but Sunday, And then they had to go to church To be all set for Monday. In this land I would like to live. If only for a week, For then I ' d be content to die And for peace eternal seek. Miss Small — Tell all you can about the Mongolian race, Albert. Albert Myers — I wasn ' t there. Miss Small, I went to the ball-game. Miss Harris — We will take this more in detail tomorrow, I just wanted you to get a taste of Bacon today. THE SADDEST PART OF LIFE. In the spring when signs of summer. Grow more urgent every day. Then man turns his back on woman. Sees her not from day to day. Man ' s chief thought is then of baseball; Sweethearts are a past event. As they wander toward the ball park Women are by men forgot. This breaks up the time-worn theory That in springtime love runs rife- For in truth the spring to woman Is the saddest part of life. G. D. ' 22. Mr. Due— Lucile, what was the date of the War of 1812?

One night I fell into a doze And this is what I dreamed ; I walked into a spacious hall Where smiles and bright lights gleamed; I followed up the strains of jazz. But soon was struck quite dumb. To see our own Professor Mott Seated behind the drum. A noisy applause aroused me. And turning toward the door, I saw the entertainers bow. Then trip lightly down the floor. Two famous dancers straight from France — At least that was the news. But when they neared me I perceived Due and Miss Andrews. In horror I rushed from the hall. And stopped before a store. Where Phillips sold hot hamburgers While Brinklow scrubbed the floor. A rickety cart of rags and iron. Came slowly down the street. While a bony horse did pull the cart With ' Mitchell on the seat. Then strains of music filled the air. And I turned around to see, A large brass band with its leader, Mr. Ackerman, Hearing me. Miss Davison followed shouting Votes for women, loud and clear, Miss Cobb came next, and all the rest Came bringing up the rear.

MERE METRICAL MUSINGS ' Twas Christmas time in summer, Saint Patrick ' s Day was near; Wiiile John made preparations To greet the glad New Year. He made them in the springtime, He made them in the fall; He made them in the winter, He made them not at all. He tried his best to conquer His love for Arabella Her lips were red as sassafras. Her hair was awfully yellow. Her birthday was in August, She was bom the fifth of May, She celebrated her sixteen year. On Saint Valentine ' s day. Her father was a milkman But he delivered mail ; He made all kinds of fancy ink. In an old white-washing pail. She lived in Denver, Oregon, Her address was Memphis, Maine; Her home was New York, Texas, But she hailed from Lake Champlain. She went into the city To hunt her lover John, For he was the best moonshiner That e ' er the sun shone on. He travelled fast from place to place. His features were well known; But never the man that knew his face Behind an ice cream cone. He disguised himself as a shortstop. And went to a big hotel ; The chase was fast and furious — There ' s not much to tell. They crept on him so softly, They rushed him with a shout. His wits were quicker than their eyes He took the water spout. Beneath him Arabella Was running at a walk; He jumped and quickly joined her. There was no time to talk. He said, Now darling Bella, We must make our get-away. We must be far away from here Before the break of day. They were married in the May time On the seventeenth of June, Their wedding-day was in July, It couldn ' t come too soon. And now kind reader hear us. As we our tale have finished. Because we know your interest Has never been diminished. These twain were both fictitious Although they long did reign ; To me this looks suspicious — Like the fruit of an idle brain. Mr. Phillips — Marguerite, when rain falls, does it rise again? M. M. E. — Yes, sir. Mr. Phillips — When? M. M. E. — Oh, in dew time. ' 23 — Have you taken chloroform? ' 24 — No, who teaches it? Helen L. — What makes everyone want to kiss Grace? Margaret — Her lipstick. Miss Harris — George, are you sure this theme is original? George Wilson — Well, I found a few of the words in the dictionary. Paula — Dick said I was an awful flirt. Francis — You must be out of practice. Andrews — What did Phillips say when you asked him to raise your grade to a C? Dobbins — He just made a passing remark. WHAT You MILK C.OT OM YOUR eOTTUeS!.
