The gratitude that We owe to the many persons who have helped in the making of this book is indeed difiicult to express. It is only by the earnest co-operation of all connected with the Annual that We have been able to get the book before the school. There are those among the faculty who by their untiring effort have made the Shortridge Annual a book worthy of the place it holds among publications of its kind. Among these is Miss Rhoda Selleck, the art censor, who in her many years of Work on the Annual has given to the book a world-wide reputation for splendid art Work. Then we have Miss Zella O'Hair, literary censor, who has maintained for the book the highest standards along literary lines. To Mr. William N. Otto We owe thanks for his efficient general managementg to Mr. Weinberger for his direction of the business end of the bookg to Mr. McKee for his patient and faith- ful service in the printing of the Annual, and to the Rough Notes Co. for its help in the printing. Our sincere thanks are extended also to a willing, earnest staff, Whose work has made the book. a joy in the making. It has been a great regret to all connected with the Annual that it was impossible to get the book out before the close of school. This was due to the unusual conditions which are prevalent in the world today, and which have delayed a good many undertakings. High School Graduates Wanted Business wants you.

Americanization is the keynote U that We have chosen for our Annual, desiring to make our book, in so far as possible, in keeping with the new spirit of the day. To be sure, We have not sought to fashion Q every article on this subject, and there are in these pages numerous articles of an entirely different nature. We have selected these. as Well as the ones on Americanization, QD A because of literary merit, general interest or good subject matter. At least that is what We have tried to do. Our book is entirely a student publication. The cover design and most of the illustrations have been printed from Wood blocks made by the art department, and the folding and tying of the book have been done by Shortridge pupils. The hours We have spent in the formation and production of the Annual, have been very pleasant ones to us. We can only hope, as We, half-proudly, half-fearfully present this book to you, that you Will receive it kindly, and experience some enjoyment from it. Certainly, it has its faults. What publication of its kind has not? We only ask you not to expect too much, and if, by chance, you should find anything in the book a little out of the ordinary, We ask you to give it the praise you believe it deserves. We believe in our Annual, and We Want your support. Two years ago, in the 1918 Annual, War symbols were used in illustrating the book. This year again, symbols have been made use of, and a great many of the tail-pieces, wood-cuts and other Work are symbolic of Amer- icanization. The cover design symbolizes produce, the fruit of the World, as it is embodied in America and American ideals. It is the soul of' civilization which burns in the heart of America and which must reach out and embrace the World. It has been said that art is soul: and it is the soul effort that has been made in all literary and art Work. The untiring effort and earliest co-operation of the art and literary staffs, have contributed a great share toward the success of the book. -THE EDITOR. 6833373 'N 39 ' ffff A ,,.

Q: Nr 16' 1 6 mcricanizalfion Ill:- 'IlI DUCATION in American ideals is the keynote of American- , - ization, which is controlled by mental attitude and knowl- ' gun edge of public affairs rather than by birthplace or race. i Q 1 To be a citizen of the United States, it is only necessary k ' 44 to be born in this country, or to fulfill certain concrete 5.5 requirements for naturalization, but to be a true Amer- - 'mpg ican, one must be in perfect harmony with the high prin- ll Sl ciples of liberty and independence. An ideal American is Mull ll i lr L1 -Zu ..- Q familiar with the past history of his country, its present needs, and its future aspirations. He is law-abiding, con- scientious as a voter, and active in public affairs. He appreciates American literature and art. The written and spoken thoughts. of great men, and the influence of the public schools, are, perhaps, the greatest agencies of American- ization. In the school room the citizens of the future are taught to love the flag and the principles for which it stands. They are here given instruction in the past history of their country. Newspapers, magazines, and books instill Americanism in both old and young, foreign and Amer- ican born. The creed of liberty and justice for all is advocated from the pulpit, from the stump of the oiiice seeker, and from the White House steps. The importance of constructive patriotism is reflected in the teach- ings of the three great exponents of Americanism: George Washington. Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt. Washington, in his immortal Farewell Address, said: Citizens by birth or choice, of a common country, that country has a right to concentrate your affections. The name of America, which belongs to you in your national capacity . must always exalt the just pride of patriotism. Of the many magnificent statements of that great American, Theo- dore Roosevelt, these words seen to best express his opinion of Americanization: To bear the name American is to bear the most honor- able of titles. Americanism is a question of spirit, conviction and purpose, not of creed or birthplace. ' We Americans, above all, must stand shoulder to shoulder, not asking as to the ancestry or creed of our Com- rades, but only demanding that they be in very truth Amer- icans, and that we all work together, heart, hand and head, for the honor and greatness of our common country. Through education and enlightenment in the principles of American- ism, it is reasonable to believe that not only will radicalism, such as We are now experiencing, be eliminated, but sound national progress will be still further developed through the eagerness of the American citizens to work shoulder to shoulder for the honor and greatness of our common country. -EDWIN C.

Religious strife had become bitter in Scotland, and 111211157 Presbyterian ministers had been forced to seek refuge among the bleak hills and cold valleys of the High- - la11d district. One was in hiding a few miles fron1 Sandy's home. In a secluded portion of the l1ill country, stood Camp- bell McLean's small cottage. Bonny tho' weef' he called it, and, indeed, it was a snug little nest.

In spite of the danger, however, many of the stalwart, Highland fam- ilies would dodge the troops and carry food and clothing to the fugitives. Business had take11 Sandy's father to Edinburg tounf' As he left, he had said, Sandy, me bairn, while I'm naer hame, 'tis you must take care o' Preacher McDougal. Sandy promised, and had made one trip i11 his father's absence. Now the time had come for a second journey, and Sandy's mother was much afraid for the lad's safety. Reassuring her, Sandy bundled himself i11 his coat and shawl of Scottish plaid, and, taking l1is bundle for Preacher McDougal, set on singing a merry song. Sandy knew the Higl1lands. All of his twelve years had been spent in the rocky hills of northern Scotland. As Sandy walked, he noticed the gatl1ering of leaden a11d ominous storm clouds on tl1e western horizon, where tl1e sun had passed fron1 sight a few moments before. A blizzard 'tis sure. Mayhap if I haste me, I'll be done my jaerney 'ere it's begun, thought Sandy and he quickened l1is pace. Darker tl1e 5ancl:f g me Lea. sky became, and rougher the pathway, but Sandy's only thought was that Preacher McDougal could ill stand the effects of a storm, without the aid he was to receive from the package. Sandy had nearly arrived at his destination when he felt snowflakes against his ruddy cheeks. The snow-fall, as yet, was only light, but Sandy well knew that he must hurry swiftly homeward. Suddenly he stopped, and, looking stealthily about him, he cautiously made his way through a crevice in the mountain side and was soon in a warm cave lighted by a huge fire. Hoot mon, 'tis Sandy, me bairn. No more was I lookin' for ye this avening, said good Preacher McDougal. Ahl Sor, ye kin alway be countin' on us. An' ye'll need wat's in the basket to keep ye warm, for 'tis gettin' turrible cold outside, replied Sandy. Right glad I am to see ye, Sandy, for my wood for my fire, 'tis a-getting very low. Sandy ventured out from the cave to get more wood for the fire. He found that the blizzard had arrived in full force. The wind was blow- ing a gale, and the snow swirled thick and fast. It was much colder, and Sandy thought of his long journey home in the darkness. When he returned to the cave, he found Preacher McDougal standing in the entrance, contemplating the storm. Ye can naer gay hame this nicht. List to that howlin' wind. Ye'd lose yer way sure, me boy. Just ye stay wi' me tonicht, said the preacher, and the boy wasright glad to stay except for the worry that he knew would trouble his mother. The evening was spent in a very pleasant manner. The old preacher told the lad stories of thrilling adventures. At length the pair, after a prayer for the many, unfortunate, hunted preachers, slept. The morning showed the effects of the storm. The 1'ocky paths had been swept clean of snow by the winds which contrived to roar through the hills. The day was fair, and the patches of snow glistened in the morning sunlight. Sandy prepared to hasten homeward at once, before the roadways were more closely guarded. Take care, me lad. Leave no foot marks in th' snow. Watch, too. for the soldiers. 'Twould be a bad thing fer ye to be caught, said McDougal as the lad departed. Sandy set out. Carefully he walked, avoiding the patches of snow. The day being so clear, Sandy thought, with alarm, how conspicuous he might be to the troopers. Once he caught a fieeting glimpse of moving red specks which he guessed, rightly, to be soldiers, watching for traces of the outlaws or their aiders. He wondered if he had been secng he quickened his step as he thought of the possible result. He thought of his parents and of the Warm little kitchen. The thought of warmth and home and loved ones acted like a stimulant upon Sandy, who quickened his pace. His path led him through a narrow ravine, and, farther on, to a higher level along a narrow ledge of rock on the hillside. In the rock 5am dy mf L ea at one side was a deep cut. This was the most dangerous part of his journey, the path was narrow, and on one side was a sheer precipice with a straight drop of from two to three hundred feet, down into a swift, rocky mountain stream, which tore through the canyon below. Carrying his basket, Sandy ran gayly around a turn in the path, only to come face to face with eight of his majesty's troopers. It was too late to retreat-they saw him and they were but a half-dozen paces away. Sandy had the presence of mind to fling his basket away, over the edge of the cliff. This, too, had been seen. Weel, Sonny, ye bin a feedin' of them heathin' outlaws, and ye kin lead. us richt back wi' ye to the miserable scoundrelsj' said a tall, rough man. Sandy quickly considered what discovery would mean to Preacher McDougal. What would his father, Campbell McLean, do in this case? Sandy knew. He would never betray his good old friend. Sor, ye are wrongg I've been to no heathin, said Sandy. Lead us, ye fool. We've watched ye fore this, growled the leader. I canna, sorg I know not th' way, replied Sandy. Fiercely the soldier grasped Sandy by the arm and held him out over the edge of the cliff. Look ye, I'll be a droppin' of ye there now, ye wretch, ye Vagabond. Tell us while I count three now or ye'll go, roared the huge bully in anger. One. Sandy thought of home and decided to tell-but-what would his father think? KlTWO.l! i What would Preacher McDougal think '? Tell us, ye brat, or ye die. Never, never, thought Sandy, would a true Scotsman betray a friend. Three. As the word three reached his ears, Sandy thought that his time had come. This, he had every reason to believe. The stern appearance of his captors removed any lingering hope of their relenting. He closed his eyes, expecting a dizzy fall onto therocks below. After what seemed eternity, he opened his eyes, surprised to find that he was yet alive. The soldier had lifted him, from over the chasm, back to the cliff's firm ledge. What had transpired in the tI'00D91',S mind is diflicult to explain. While there was yet time, he had realized that he, too, was Scotch-of the same blood and race as the little fellow he was about to destroy. Their churches differed in some details of form. What were they? Should he kill the lad merely because of his duty to the king ? Finally he had answered the question to his satisfaction. Sandy McLean was saved. Go. lad, along to yer hame. Fergit this day, an' we'll bother ye na more. Yer a true Scotchman, ye are, said the trooper. An' it's proud I am to be Scotch, replied little Sandy, and he walked slowly down the rocky pathway toward his mother and home. DOUGLAS V.

The sky was a light blue with only a few iieecy ' clouds on the horizon. There was very little breeze, and the deep water, smooth as oil, matched the delicate blue e overhead. Early in the afternoon we noticed that the breeze had freshened and that the water was rufHing and rippling, and that the few fleecy clouds had become low-lying banks of grey. The captain of our power boat decided to start back, so we drew up anchor and started. The storm came with a rush. The waves had steadily grown, and the water became a dark green, while above, the sky was rapidly covered with dark grey clouds of ever-changing shapes. The wind had risen to a low ominous hum, while here and there the crest of a wave broke, and the foaming white caps streaked the dark waters with lines of white. Here we were obliged to put up the big canvas spray hood, and place every thing under cover. The white caps formed oftener as we pushed through the waves, and the boat began to roll and plunge. First We climbed a peak of dark water and then sank into the trough of the Waves. To hear each other's voices was impossible. The wind and Waves drowned every sound but the throb of the engine that pulsed under the spray hood. We were all obliged to wear slickers to protect us from the spray which momentarily drenched us. Then came the rain, with only a few warning drops, followed by the down pour. It fell in driving sheets, forcing its way through the hood and beating with all the force of the gale upon our faces. It hissed as it beat patterns of concentric circles on the heaving waters. Dick, the young fisher boy, who seemed to have amphibian instincts while on the water, was sleeping under the bow with Howard, a budding The Gulf' 5 term young naturalist. As both were of a rather lengthy construction, they were cramped tightly in the narrow bow. It must be added that both showed themselves to be sound sleepers, for the jolts received in that bow were terrific. Then, too, the engine sent many a rare whiff of hot gasoline and oil forward, making the air delightful t?J. Mr. Hanmer, the botanist, was sitting huddled near the stern, chatting with our host, Mr. Holmes, who also furnished the amusement. The captain was peering around the side of the hood while he gripped the wheel. His eyes were mere slits as he looked through the rain and mist, and a iirm expression was on his face, though it now and then broke into a grin as he turned to shake the brine from his eyes. I sat opposite him, looking seaward at the high flying gulls, and ducking as the bow threw the waves aft. Finally we sighted land, a grey wraith-like bank of tossing pine and mangrove. Then I took my trick at the wheel, steering our way by tossing buoys and channel markers. It was my turn now to endure the force of the waves and cold stinging spray as the boat plunged from some giant wave, and, rearing again, hurled the waves mountain high. My hat was gone, and my hair was pasted in strings to my forehead and in my eyes. After each big wave, I brushed the water from my eyes and looked to see that we had not been thrown from our course. Captain G-oodie was wearing a broad grin as if the storm delighted his rough nature. The ten miles back to the harbor seemed to take ages, but at last we plowed along on the great racing swells into the mouth of the harbor, and passed the great, concrete breakwaters, long piers, old pilings, rakish fishing boats, and on into our slip, where only the lift and fall of the swells told of the fury outside. From the Yacht Club veranda where we waited for the rain to stop, we could see the tall slender palms, tossing and pushing back and forth while along the sands, farther up the beach, the surf still boomed and plowed in long rolling white furrows, only to slide quietly up the sands and trickle back into the undertow. -SAM O.

We have learned to love and appreciate art for its true value and for the beautiful and sublime that live in the world for those that know this secret of art appreciation. We have learned to meet the master-minds of the ages and wander with them through the mystic, romance-land of literature. We have learned to love and reverence our country and flag, and we have come to a more perfect understanding of the glorious foundations upon which this government of ours is builded. These are some of the things that we have learned at Shortridge. ury The oullh fPrize Humorous Articleb GENE: A park bench, a man is seated at one end of the 5 S im WWE, bench, with a face like Mercury's in reposeg at the other end, a boy, with a face showing much grief.

The man sits silent for a while at this revelation of tragedy, then turns to the boy: I have heard of a time when men were not so interested in someone as they were in a sparkling liquid. Let us not dwell upon unlawful things, however, but upon a blithesome play, which shall make us forget the present. Some years ago, in a park even more beautiful than this, a very wise man walked and conversed with certain of his students. One of the students, named Lysais, sadly told of his doubt of the love of Balce, the most beautiful girl of Athens. The master, none other than Socrates, began to question Lysais, and also others of the group, concerning girls in general, Such was his skill, that in a short while all had established the conviction that, for the good of Athens, women should be driven out. Lysais was won over to Socrates' side, and he renounced Balce forever. At this juncture the wife of Socrates, Xantippe, appeared, andwith few words, led Socrates away. . Glaucon, another of the group, said, ' 'Tis noon: my wife will also call me to account if I am not at home quicklyf Then spoke Lysais, 'A kingdom wider than that of Persia would not tempt me, if I could say those same words, comradesg I'm gon'ta try to find Balcef Thus endeth the story of the philosopher. The boy rose, yawned, and said, No comedy in that, I've gotta have something snappy, I'll go downtown to a showg maybe it'll have something good, so long. Mercury looked after him and smiled, Guess I'll go toog that story made me a little sleepyg wonder what made me tell it to him ? -LISLE C.

Q: Nr MVMDP DRRMB N a room in Independence Hall she sat, day after day, mak- ing and selling llags. She was a small woman with snow- white hair and a sweet, pleasant face, on which. time and his twin brother, care, had left their marks. In her brown eyes, shaded by glasses, there was a look of sadness. Her nose was delicate, and her mouth, though firm and brave, often trembled as she bent over her work., She was dressed in a black skirt and neat shirt waist. From her appear- ance, one would judge that she was a woman who had .. e had many experiences, and perhaps had even had a touch oi' romance. As she sat there, surrounded by flags, one could not help comparing her with one's conception of her famous ancestor. I have always thought of Betsy Ross as a plump, comely young woman, ol' average height, with golden hair, big blue eyes, a rather large, smiling mouth with pearly teeth. People went in and out of the room in Independence Hall, not so much to buy flags, as to see Betsy Ross's great granddaughter. Often when I open my treasure box and look at the little flag that she gave me, I wonder whether she is still there, going about her daily tasks, and l sometimes doubt the use ol' famous ancestors when one has to struggle against poverty.

F12 Big 5C00P fQ QPrize Storyj M HORTRIDGE had had a wonderful basket ball team that year. It was truly a marvel. Every man on the squad was a A. m star, and a more perfect aggregation would be hard to YE -ff imagine. The team went through the sectional with ease, I :Q defeating the local runner-up by a large score. A week ' f 3. later, at the state meet, a similar story was enactedg Bloom- 1 ' U3 ington, Franklin, and all of the other state champs of old i' I5 ' I were met and overthrown. Shortridge High of Indianapolis, 55 without question, had the best team in Indiana, and she -- 2 was privileged to represent the Hoosier state in the newly instituted Central States tournament to be run off at the University of Illinois, in the early part of March. Dope on this meet was rather scarce, but, judging from the scores of the few of the interstate games which had been played, Shortridge had as good a chance as any to bring home the honors. In fact, the betting was even on the Indiana and Ohio champions. As the days for the tournament drew near, the excitement in the halls of Shortridge became tense. The team was put through hard practice for a week, and then, several days before the tournament, it entrained for the twin cities of Urbana and Champaign. A few special cars were engaged to convey the Shortridge rooters, and not a few automobiles made the trip. Still, by far the greater part of the student body remained at home. Shortridgers were not alone in being interested in the outcome of the title series. All of Indianapolis and even all of Indiana were watching' with proud eyes the team which would represent their city and state. The local papers ran first page articles on the prospects of the tournament, and each sent special correspondents to the college towns. On the second and last day of the tournament, very little work was done at Shortridge. Students gathered in excited little groups about the school and discussed the outcome of each game as the results were tele- graphed in. Shortridge Survives Semi-finals in Great Style was thc e8l95o headline over an enthusiastic article in the evening paper. Few noticed the weather forecast at the bottom of the column, which predicted a severe blizzard during the night. It was a terrible storm that swept the middle west, while the finals of the Central States Basket Ball Tournament were being played off in the substantial and well-heated new armory of the University of Illinois. Telegraph and telephone lines were leveled to the ground, and great im- passable drifts of snow were heaped over the railroad tracks. In other words, all forms of communication were cut off. At midnight, after it had performed its miserable task, the storm subsided. Several editions of the morning paper went to press without news f1'om the tournament. At last, only the city edition remained. After holding the edition for thirty minutes and trying to get a wire by every route from Duluth to New Orleans, the sport editor heaved a sigh and ordered the forms locked. A minute later the presses were whirling rythmically. The first paper to reach the streets was bought by the worried editor of the Shortridge Daily Echo, which would appear on the following day. Frantically he searched l'or the Urbana dispatch. Imagine his disappointment when he found it missing. Jumping into his fast little car, he scorched the trail to the telegraph office. All western wires are clown, was the answer which met his ears when he presented a message. That explained the situation. At the other telegraph and telephone ollices he met with no better success. It was :1 miserable night that the poor fellow put in. If he could only get the news ot' the meet before nine o'clock the next morning! What a scoop it would be for the Echo! On the next day he was at school at 8:30 to read the proof. How dry and uninteresting it was compared to what it might have been. Then an idea struck him. Up the stairs, past Miss Donnan he dashed, two steps at a time. He made straight for the Wireless Room. What luck! One of his friends who understood the set was listening in. Can you talk with Urbana or Champaign '? he cried. Please hurry ! Consulting his call book, the operator discovered that a large 1000- watt relay station was located in Urbana. Call them quick, shouted the editor. 9 G E, 9 G E, 9 G E?-9 C Q, 9 C Q, 9 C Q, was radiated forth from the slender strands of wire fifty feet overhead. They threw the switch and waited a breathless moment. 9 C Q. 9 C Q. 9 C Q---9 G E, 9 G E. 9 G E, came back the clear synchronous spark oi' the Urbana station. eBls25 o Ask him who won the tournament. Sh0rtridge, of Indianapolis, was spelled out a minute later. Fine! Get the details of the game, cried the editor as he scribbled down the head, Shortridge, Central States Champ. Take this down to Mr. McKee, and tell him that the article will follow immediately, he said, drafting into service one of the Echo staff members who was on hand. The next few minutes were busy ones for the editor and radio operator. The information was put into form as fast as it came in and the copy sent to the linotypes, a sheet at a time. The article was completed at 8 1551 at 9:00 o'clock the forms were locked and the Echo went to press. Several thousand extra copies of the edition were printed and they were sold by newsboys on the streets. On the dateline of the tournament article were the words, Urbana, Illinois, and above these, Special by Wireless to the Echo. The Shortridge Daily Echo had beat the town. -EDWIN C. HURD.

I had not been to Paris since last month when the League of Nations was finally X it settledg and they had made several recent additions to the museum which interested' me very much. ' One of these was a white substance, much like grains 'WEN 'mm' of pulverized marble. The scientific name for it is 5601111-Ll. '.'.'l llrllkl l l , o 'ffl -W ', X 5 B' S UG.-XR. One ol' the museum guards, who is friend of mine, explained it to me. At one time, Sugar was very plentiful, and was even to be found up to the year 1920, when it became extinct, this being due to the fact that the demand was greater than the supply. People used to eat it, he said. I asked him what eat meant, and was very much amused when I learned that our ancestors were so primitive as to keep themselves alive in this crude manner. I would much rather get my nourishment from a hypodermic. -lust as I was ready to leave, the guard took me into the safety- vault, and showed me another relic which Dr. Abbot, the noted explorer, unearthed on his last trip to America. It was a hard, black mineral called coal. The piece was about three inches in diameter, and is said to be the largest known specimen. The guard, who was a very learned man, told me something about the history of coal. Until aliout seventy-five years ago, the whole world depended upon coal for all its heat and power, and in 1919 it nearly caused Civil War in this country. People burned it in large receptacles, made for the purpose, and out of them great clouds of smoke would spread all over the country, making everything so dusky that people could go about in the day time without wearing dark-glasses. Very ignoiant people, I would call them, for using this method of heating with all the Sun's rays going to waste. - Ilow glad I am that I live in this modern age. -'RICHARD C. LENNOX, 'lE'l. A Prophegf N future days when we halt in one of the many and diverse paths which We have selected for life's journey, when we K is stand gazing forward into the dim future, and backward its V into the past, the joyous carefree days of our high school 55, years will rise before us, bringing happy memories and tender recollections. Visions of the dear old school, with the halls and corridors and classrooms filled with friends and classmates, will rise before our mind's eye. Faces of chums A 5 and teachers will pass before us. In a long panorama we 1 . .R will see basket ball games with all the attendant joys-the A yell leaders, the school colors, the excited crowds, the tense moments, and the hard won fruits of victory. The proms, with the weeks of anticipation, the auditorium exercises with the home talent programs to which all looked forward, all the funny incidents and good times con- nected with high school days, will occur to us as we stand there in the path with a little reminiscent smile, and with a tiny sigh for the days which we let slip away so carelessly and for which now, we would give anything to live over again. That will be a time when we fully appreciate our school and the things for which it has always stood. Out of days of lessons and fun, and thought- less pleasure, our ideals will rise-ideals subconsciously formed in those all-too-short four years. Teachers that we thought were unreasonable, or cross, or overly particular, we will have long since found were among the best. Under them we formed-perhaps protestingly-careful habits of study, consciencious work and concentration, all counting for so much in after life, to them, in great part will we owe our success. In the clubs and organizations, we learned to assume responsibility, to feel self posses- sion and self confidence. Among the many classmates we knew, we learned the art of picking friends, the art of selecting the chaff from the wheat: and through years we shall have still our little circle of Shortridgers of the old class of '20, friends who have lasted through the years. But of all the things unconsciously imbibed, the most precious is the true Short- ridge spirit of loyalty, faithfulness, truthfulness, and the power of clinging steadfastly to our ideals. As we stand in the path, the rosy vision will fade, the school days will grow dim, and instead. our immediate problems and trials will stand forth. Strengthened by the thoughts of bygone days, we will bravely advance, thankful in our hearts for what has been given, and ready to meet the problems and trials and responsibilities of the future with a smile and a will. -ELIZABETH GORE THOMSON, '20. li gg Ima. aler Almi Mater I lynew hei Inst and best is Sholtiidge a guaidian vi ho exhoited me iepioached me inspired me by tuin and nex 61 failed to believe in me Oul bonds were so enyiablx personal' To hei expectation the highest powei in me had no choice but to iespond Then came the day when Time severed ties and sent rg :A me far aiield to an Alma Mater, new and changed, 16Stil1g' rf in the lap of a great city that never sleeps.

R 4 Q NJ Several days before Christmas, 1918, my sister Irene and I were called upon by the War Camp Community Serv- ice to devote our Christmas to the merry-making of the convalescent soldiers stationed at West Baden, Indiana, K. 'A United States General Hospital. My sister and 1 held council with each other and decided to give up our cher- ished day at home and make immediate preparations for the trip. On the most wonderful Christmas Eve since the first mass nineteen hundred and eighteen years before, we and our party arrived at one of the most fashionable hotels in the United States-the famous West Baden Springs Hotel. The hotel is now run by Lieutenant Colonel R. W. Bliss, and it caters to a class largely made up of private gentlemen-tourists who have recently returned from France. They are resting he1'e after a strenuous season. These are the men who gazed upon blood when it was red, who smelled the mustard gas when it was hot and noxious, and who listened to the famous Krupp Symphony. Many a note in that opera fell flat, leaving an impress never to be forgotten by those who were in the neighborhood. All day long the celebrated atrium, one of the largest rooms in the world, rang and sang with laughter and greeting, from early in the morn- ing when we were romantically awakened by the sound of the reveille until we closed our eyelids that evening. Festoons were hung across the giant court. No trench was ever dug with more care and energy. The great Christmas tree was wheeled to the center of the atrium, and it was deco- rated, with great enthusiasm, by sweating soldiers, who lugged hundreds upon hundreds of gift boxes to be distributed later. As il' by magic there sprang up in the east end of the court a large platform and circus ring with real tan bark. Here four huge elephants performed their tricks, and five snarling, fang-dripping lions, roaring their savage hate at the trainer, who goaded them to perform their tricks, tore at the iron bars which held them from leaping at the throats of the breath- less watchers. Two dogs put on the boxing gloves and fought a three- round bout. Sanger, the clown, and a kangaroo put on the gloves and fought. A beauteous dame did lightsome and frilly equestrian business on a big white horse, with a cute little black horse for comedy. Christmas 'Ali' West' Baden There were present veterans of Chateau Thierry, of Toul, of the Argonne Forest, of Bois de Belleau and of all the spots which were marked with blood, and which will be graven in imperishable granite on the tombs of history. These crippled American boys were grinning to forget their pain, cheering the clown, and giving the kangaroo an ovation. After the evening meal, when the noise of the day had died down and the lights were beautifully dimmed in the atrium, the boys who were able to be in their chairs, gathered around the large tree, and I took my banjo and, accompanied by sis, sang to them by request some of the old south- ern melodies of their choice. Then just before taps, little Raymond Bliss, thirty-six inches high and every inch a soldier, spoke in a clear accent, 'tGod Bless Us, Every One.

MARIAN MILLER, '20, 0 W diff w Q A -Jungle spun o the year so the bobby little meadowlark called fiom the grasses and the Wondeiful Florida forest was blooming at its touch As 1 look back ovei that day and see the p itect pictuie fiom which time has eiased the ' . little blemishes, I sigh for the gift of the poet or artist that I might have some outlet for the gorgeous emotion surg- I ing up within me.

B l That was a never-to-be-forgotten day as I lay on the smooth floor ol' the forest, and, running my fingers through its clean carpet of tiny, little, glossy live oak leaves. took in the wonders about me. Writhing up from the smooth blanket of the leaves, groped the trunks of struggling trees which seemed to have had no aim of growth, but feeling in all directions like the poor blind things that they Were, sought the life-giving sunshine. Like slender columns to support the roof, shot up straight stems of palms which mingled their feathery heads with the living thatch above. Air plants, like hideous monsters of dismal thickets, dangled with snakey arms from every rafter, but soft, restful pendents of Spanish moss trailed from arch and ceiling. Constrictor-like, myriad creepers twisted many a Gordian knot about the helpless trees, ever climbing, tearing, choking, so relentless was the struggle. Twittering in the trees, and feeding on the limbs and bushes, many little birds, some red, some yellow, some blue, cast their delicate reflections in the dark amber waters of the lake. Black in the shadows, and placid, lay the pool from which rose creamy racemes of lizards' tails, making heavy the air with their cloying sweetness. Gaudy little green and brown chameleons frisked about on the branches, bathed in little pools of liquid sunshine which trickled through the leaves. Ever and anon, a brilliant burst of song came floating from a hidden source, only to die out as sud- denly as it arose. Indistinctly through the trees, the lake could be seen so very very blue, and just a trifle ruflled by a sluggish wind. Acres of lavendar-pink water hyacinths, and yellow water lillies lent their indescribable color to the deep ultramarine water. The blue sky, a bit paler perhaps than the water, was dotted and splotched with floating steam clouds, while lazy buzzards sailed high aloft on sable wings. Mysterious screeches and grunts arose from the dense cat-tails which defied penetration, and occasionally a large, white heron went flopping past. lt seemed that all the beauty, all the mystery, all the subtle appeal of nature were embodied in this surpassing scene. The mountains may he majestic, the sea, awe-inspiring, but the jungle delights the eye, charms the ear, and convinces one of his utter inability to understand it. With perfumed breath and flowery embrace it greets one, only perhaps to slip a scorpion into his bosom. But that is the way of the jungle. --HOWARD A. HOWE, '19. The Beacon LLQB ' 1'Qillli:i rr---IBM ROM my early childhood I had always I I n thought' of the old North Church as a M , ,xl XVIII. tall building with a towering- steeple vlt ulu i from which that beacon light of history I I f ' ,ly A6692 had shone forth so many years ago to ,N L i' PQSFIIU signal the impatient Paul Revere. And I I . ' yi i ',Il had thought of it in a neighborhood of ,, I 1 If prosperous mint-masters and church eld- lg ers. Imagine, then, my surprise at see- , I V Ill' i ing this historical place in its present en- I 1 vironment. My illusions were shattered. Qu Here it stood, still, serene, dignified, and respected, in the heart of a closely settled foreign quarter of Boston. Bleak V t' J and ugly tenement houses towered above it and stretched I - away in almost every direction. Dirty, but plump and 'P happy little black-eyed children tumbled out of open door- -1 'L ways into the warm sunshine. Their playground was the ' street and curbstone. Their mothers, Jugo-Slavs, Czeco- , y Slavs, Armenians, or Roumanians, jabbered in their native ' ' tongue the latest gossip from their back doors. Foreigners! Foreigners! Everywhere! We, good, American-history loving citizens, were somewhat shocked to find these conditions surrounding a site so dear to our American hearts. Walking on up the little street, we came to the quaint old colonial burying ground known as Copp's Hall. Think of our disappointment when we found that, at that hour, no more visitors could go inside the gate. We paused a while, and looked through the iron fence. We were both astonished and shocked to see more little foreigners using this his- toric spot for a playground-sitting astride the tombstone of Cotton Mather and his like, just as if these tombstones were the best of hobby horses. I almost expected these stern old reformers to rise up out of their graves-and I almost believe they would have done so if they had had the power, in horror at this indignity and insult. To think that we, true Americans, were denied the right to enter this place and gaze upon the graves of those brave old colonists, to view with stirring hearts the well-known Charleston River, to appreciate the solem- nity of this spot, while little foreigners entirely irreverent, were making themselves daily at home in this intensely interesting old spot. Turning away with a mixed feeling of reverence and amusement, we started to go on, but had proceeded only a short distance when we were interrupted by a twelve-year-old boy of foreign birth. The Beacon ' Li. B Wanta see the sights, ladies? he asked us brightly, let me show you around. Here you can see the Charleston River. Over there is where Paul Revere Hrst started on his midnight ride. Over there by that tall building- We followed him, becoming more and more interested and curious at this little foreigner's surprising familiarity with the numerous historical places and the stories connected with each of them. Finally my mother voiced her curiosity by saying, Boy! Where did you learn so much about all these places '? Were you born in Boston ? N o, lady, he answered, turning his bright, black eyes toward mother, but we came here when I was very little, and I learned to speak English at school. It was my teacher who told us all about these places and where to find them in the city. And he went on pointing out and describing the places of interest. - ' At last we had found the key to the Americanization of our many foreigners: unknowingly this little waif was paying a high tribute to that loyal American, the public school teacher, who more than any other one individual should have the credit for training the foreigners to be true Americans. And so, though the light of the little North Church may be dimmed by time and the tall tenements, the gleam of its beacon shines more radi- antly with the years. MARY E. SUTHERLAND, '20. 4 v Q A he ny na i ri ,- UT in the sweet-scented, old-fashioned garden sat the Boy, a huddled little figure ol' misery. The day had brought one misfortune after another, childish troubles, true, but still very real and great to him. But the crowning misery had come, when, at some mischievous act, his father, whom the .4 Boy adored. had let displeasure draw a dark frown on his Elia , if e 'lt QQ Linq. ef face and had abruptly dismissed the Boy from the supper e table. And so he sat, feeling that all the world was against him. Suddenly, in the soft dusk, a graceful figure in white came towards him and lifted him in tender, understanding arms. She seated herself and rocked him, crooning softly and letting his curly head drop to a comfortable resting place on her shoul- der. Then the Boy realized in a dim way the was too young to understand fullyl that though the whole world were turned against him, his own beautiful mother would remain to comfort and to understand him. And so, with a contented little sigh, he fell asleep. ELIZABETH GORE THOMSON, '20. if 'Y Q - 1 HNIERICHN LEGION A A A Y A l ' 1. .nun 4:1 asm is Little over a year ago the question :- What is the Ameri- can Legion ? -had not been framed. The American Legion X 1 existed only in the day dreams, the wonderings, and the Q 1 4 hopes of the doughboy in France and his brother-in-arms L at home, waiting for over-seas orders that never came. A great organization of American Veterans ot' the World War with a million members organized into posts through- . - out the U. S., recognized, respected, feared and fearless, 51 'VH 3.1-.3 potentially the most powerful influence in American life, -.::-z-1-2 had not been conceived. It is now an accomplished fact and is all that its name impliesyalso it is the only Ofgall- ization of its kind in the history of the U. S., to be honored by Congress with a national charter. It has been recognized and indorsed by the doughboy and by his brother-in-arms. The membership of the American Legion is open to all men who served their country in the Army, Navy, or Marine Corps during the World War, and to all the women who served as nurses, Red Cross work- ers or entertainers for the boys in the camps. The chief aim of the American Legion is to uphold one hundred per cent. Americanism and to do everything in its power to sustain the Govern- ment of the United States. It also looks after and keeps together the men who did their bit in the upholding of America's greatest principle, Lib- erty. The Sweet Bill recently passed by Congress, which raised the pay for compensation from thirty dollars to eighty dollars a month was one of the great things the Legion has successfully accomplished. This act not only shows their influential standing, but also shows that they are backing the wounded and disabled men discharged from the service. The growing strength of the Legion in numbers and power has been reflected more and more in its reception by the country at large and in editorial comments. Editors of influential newspapers throughout the country hail it as the most potent factor for the betterment of our national life. An organization based upon such principles can not do otherwise than survive, and lead the American people into true blue Americanism. ROBERT E. HALL. ki. Q? I WL ' L Q59 , I ..

C5 as .g I - E-jkigg sjip, NE would scarcely know without actual experience, the dilliculties one encounters when called upon to interview 5 certain men of prominence. I have had the pleasure of N' gee interviewing sundry personages-but when Ye Ed in- 5- 5925? formed me that I was to interview Harold Snow V orhes, I ' ' was so nervous at the prospect that I felt it would be bet- I ter for me to make my living blowing up toy balloons. Finally, my courage clutched in both hands, I took the big A gl step-into his study. Here I found the walls lined with 5 books, showing the tell-tale marks of long usage-books on science, philosophy and psychology. One wall was filled with volumes of sermons and essays-among them M r. Vorhes' own Junior essay, The Brotherhood of Boys. Occupying another wall was a life-size painting of a stern-looking military man. And when Mr. Vorhes entered, and the usual formalities were passed, I remarked, I presume you are descended from a line of long ancestors. May I ask, 'Is this a portrait of one of them '?' 1 No! he said proudly, that was painted back in the eighties when I was a member of Boy Scout Troop No. 20. I found by this time, to my great relief, that this gentleman was very kind and obligiug, but it was diflicult for me to understand what he was saying, due to the fact that he persisted in craning' his neck out the win- dow. I afterward learned that certain ol' the fair sex were passing by al the time. I asked him, Where were you born '? In Athens. Oh-you're Greek! I suppose you'll be out for the Olympic games? Well, er-I don't know-you see it's Athens, Ohio. And, by the way, at what time in your life did you make the decision to let your hair grow out '? At eight-fifteen, at IGaton's, -withdrawing his head from the win- fl0W-A'OII-91'-3.-XN'I1?tt did you say '? I was Just remarking that it was time for me to leave. Goodbye. Next, I encountered W. Harold Caldwell in the park, with Dr. Gray- ston, his physician and personal adviser. I asked the latter if I might not have an interview with the athlete, and he acquiesced very graciously. Mr. Caldwell looked well, considering the time he had been shut in. The roublcs QP A Cub What was the cause of his illness? The gout? I asked. I know my cheeks flamed when the doctor explained that he had a couple of ribs 'frac- tured in a game. Of course, I murmured. To think that I had forgotten! Mr. Caldwell would be noticed anywhere for his pleasing manners, and he soon put me at my ease. Miss Brown, I believe, said he, removing his hat and gloves as he spoke. CI recognized them as the ones he had worn in the game at Argos.J I have been expecting your call, as Mr. Vorhes told me only last night that I might look for almost anything. During the short time that we conversed I learned much of this gentle- man's school life and travels. He was born in our own fair city. Later his family removed to Castleton. There the boy, Will Harold, won fame and friends, but Providence brought him back to his native city, the home of his childhood days. Here he is content. Surely, I thought ,as I went my way, fame means nothing to this man, but the satisfaction of having defeated a strong opponent means much. As I mused, I looked back, and he and the doctor were laughing loudly. I already had the pleasure of Malcolm Everton Thomson's acquaint- ance. Why, yes, you see we used to be old Frenchmen together in Room 15. He'd say, Comprenez-vous cela'? and I'd say, Oo-la, la! Oui, Oni. M1'. Thomson is not one to talk of himself. He would far rather talk of the other fellow. He has told me many surprising-yes, more than surprising-I might even say astonishing things about the team. But on only one occasion was I able to draw him out a little. At that time he told me that he had come from Logansport. Logansport! Where had I heard of the place before? Then I remembered having read of a girl who walked all the distance from Kokomo to Logansport, only to D6 sent back to Kokomo again. And they tell me as how it was the happiest day ol' her life-when she landed again in Kokomo. Here I realized that I was getting sadly away from the subject, so I brought myself back with a jerk. Mr. Thomson, I said, you believe in athletics, n'est-ce pas? Now tell me, what would happen if the mayor would take the sport out of Logansport'? From that day to this, though he has always been pleasant, yet there is a difference. What caused it I do not know. The next person I was called up to have a talk with was our own baby Riley'f,of Christmas Echo fameg and such a time as I had to meet him. In true.snoophound fashion, I had followed him all over this part of Indiana only to have him disappear in the most mysterious manner just as I got within reach of him. TI:eTroul:les UP A Cub When I finally did get an introduction to him it came in a most amus- ing way. I had been talking to Mr. Thomson as I did whenever the occasion presented itself or whenever he would talk to me. Have you ever met Louise '? said he. No, but I should like to meet her, I said, thinking, Ah ha! this must be the girl of the golden hair. To my great surprise Louise proved to be Louis F. Riley. Ah, the Mr. Riley, they speak of so highly, I said. And Miss Brown, said he, of newspaper renown. Wasn't he clever? You are Scandalioovian, I presume. No, indeed, I am Irish, was his reply. So I write it down though I doubt it very much. How could a man by that name be Irish? Mr, Irish, I said, what is your second name? Mix Riley, he corrected smilingly, but I would rather not give my second name. The initial is F. Perhaps I shouldn't jump at conclusions, but I'm convinced that his name is Louis Fourteenth Riley. I looked about for Malcolm Everton Thomson, but he had gone his way when I went to Converse with Louis XIV. What an error! I con- versed with him, that's true, and in the course of our conversation I found that he had come from Converse, Ind. I was about to ask him if that was the reason he talked so much, but I didn't,think it was a very good joke, so I didn't say it. I next called upon Frank Edgar Stevens. I had thought that I was accustomed to this sort of experience and would no longer become panic-stricken at the prospect, but not so with the mighty Stevens, individual star and big noise of the team. You see I had watched him from every angle of the floor. I had seen him slay his ad- versary, coolly step across the dead body and put a ball into the basket with the indifference of that old Indian chief Powhatan. Furthermore I had heard that a certain Him company was trying to get his signature to a ninety-nine year contract at woman hater parts, and from all appearances it wasn't going to be much of a task. How could I, a mere cub, hope to gain even five minutes of his time? I had my own secret reasons for wanting to meet him. I admired him for his achievements and something else. It was this. Once I had seen him walking down the street just like an ordinary person, and had discovered that he knew how to wear his hat, something that most men haven't learned. Yes he knew this, but he didn't know how to conceal the' fact that he had a new watch, as he took it out on every occasion. This isn't mere hearsay. I know it to be absolutely true. The roublcs UP A Qub As I've said, I wanted to meet Frank Stevens. Finally the day I had planned for and dreaded, came. I never knew just how, but I've often guessed that it was through the efforts of Snow Vorhes. Now I remember that I took some nerve medicine and powdered my nose. Of all the agreeably disappointing persons this man takes the fudge sundae, absolutely, whipped cream and all. If he is a lion, he never roared once and the interview was so pleasant that I had a notion to do it over. He told me that he was nineteen in March, that he has always lived in Indianapolis, and that he is brother of Clair Stevens, widely known as Tubby. From someone who knows, I learned that he is a lover of music, his favorite song being, On the Banks of the Wabash. Happily I went my way to find Ye Ed, Miss Lucile Sullivan. Now I wouldn't want Lucile to know I said this about her, but she is all the time wrong about something that I'm right about. So when she said, without even looking at my valuable manuscript, let alone compli- menting me, that I must go to Africa, I just looked at herg then I looked at the map, then at her again. I said, No, I refuse to go to Africa. I've done a good many things for you, but I do not care to lose myself in a jungle where a cute little leopard in a playful mood would find me under a cocoanut tree. All right, you're discharged, said she, for not knowing that Africa is a person, not a place. Q Editors know everything, but they shouldn't expect everybody else to. How could I know as I afterward found, that Elmer Africa was-a per- fectly likable person with a perfectly good Packard. I now realized that I would have no excuse for interviewing Vallorous McLeay, the one I had heard called The Gladiator. Then there was Harry or Mickey Escol. He is different, so they say, and I always did like a person who is unlike the average, common-place, everyday person. I had saved the handsome Michenor 'till the last. Of all people, I didn't want to miss meeting this center. I gave Lucile a side glance, but her mouth was set in an uncompromis- ing line. Then I looked about for my erstwhile girl friends. I wanted somebody's shoulder to cry on, but they all turned coldly away. Here I realized that I had sacrificed all through my various meetings with various men. . All for the Annual, I thought, and felt much like the martyr of ye olden times. At that I could not blame myself. How, I ask you, could I help it, because those girls weren't wise enough to hide behind Annual copy as a means of meeting our team. Team, who '? Team, team, team!

The educational wg wreckage existing in Indianapolis in 1863, demanded a 3 - man with sympathy enough to feel the educational needs of , the community, with intelligence enough to formulate an Jim educational system that would endure, and with courage .Sl 'v,, enough to put that system into motion and keep it in mo- : mt tion. Such a man was found in Abram C. Shortridge, who '1 A ' was elected superintendent of the Indianapolis Public Q Schools in the summer of 1863. g Mr. Shortridge's first step was to provide the schools with well trained teachers. Accordingly, he dismissed those who were keeping school instead of teaching school and employed graduates of the Oswego Normal School. Later he estab- lished the Indianapolis Normal School, which, for more than fifty years, has trained the majority of the teachers now and for many years employed in our public schools. To encourage boys and girls to continue in school, he established the Indianapolis High School, now Shortridge, as a goal to be reached by passing through the graded school and as a direct path from the graded school to the state university. Through his efforts and influ- ence, what is now known as the Indianapolis Library became ,affiliated with the schools and was made open to the general public. To the enjoyment and benefit of any and all of these institutions, there was but one requirement-mental ability, for Mr. Shortridge did not believe in an aristocracy of intellect, and he recognized no religion, race, sex, or social position in education. His was the common school-the school for all-not one kind of education for the masses and another kind for the classes. Such was the character of his work and such energy and impetus did he impart to it, that, after more than half a century, every institution that he founded still endures. And the present high reputation of the Indianapolis Public Schools is due in the largest degree to the wis- dom and untiring energy of their founder, Abram C. Shortridge. LAURA A. DONNAN. Miss Edith Hughes oo I. gi :iffy S the year goes on, we realize, more and more, how great aug.. gtg. a vacancy has been left in the life of Shortridge and in 3? 34: 5923 our hearts, by the death of Miss Edith Hughes. Again 2,055 and again there comes to us, evidence of a part she took, Q 7 silently, in many of the activities of our institution, We XX If are now only finding out how completely her life centered 4 in Shortridge, how faithfully she supported its traditions, and how large a part she contributed to its spirit. Her g niieniory will contg1n?elfo be cherished in the hearts of many X Q E o ier pupi s an e ow- eaciers. She was a fine example of devotion and loyalty, both to her work and to her family and to her friends. As a teacher, she expected the best that her students could give, and in return was untiring in the help and encouragement offered to all who would accept it. As a student she was able, enthusiastic, and per- miss Edith Hughes sistent. In the home she was depended upon for advice and assistance. Away from home, she never failed in those thoughtful remembrances that are always cherished. During all her stay in Indianapolis, Miss Hughes never failed to send some message home each day. We now know that her last year in Shortridge, was spent under the cloud of very bad health, but her most intimate friends among us were entirely unaware of its seriousness. She bore her illness with wonderful fortitude, never admitting that she saw death as a possible conclusion. Miss Hughes was a graduate of Alexandria High School and Indiana University, and had done graduate work in the University of Chicago. She had been teaching in the Indianapolis schools since 1910, having come to Shortridge in 1913. She was alert, deeply interested in the affairs of life, and had clear cut and well formed opinions upon them. All who knew hcr well admire her deeply, and each relationship fur- nishes further evidence of her fineness of character and genuineness of heart. WALTER S. GINGERY.

The garden was in its gloryg veranda and walk were lined with a sweeping waterfall of snowy bridal wreath, and at one corner a rambler rose climbed in budding beauty about a pillar. Arbor vitae, tree of life, stretched forth new fan-like leaves of brightest green, and the little Holland spruces, in defiance, bristled out in an hundred blue bottle-brushes. Never was the old earth so beautiful. Man was indeed blest to live in such a domicile. As I stood there watching the birds flit to and fro, drinking in the fullness of the beauty about me, I heard the monotonous tap, tap, tap of his cane. Just what we need-a broom! I'm so glad you came today! A smile-the queer, quizzical smile of the blind-crept over his fea- tures. I The birds-they're busy this morning. Must be nesting. Yes, the birds are nesting-all just as busy as can be! And oh, the world is wonderfully beautiful this morning. You are standing in the midst of a shower of bloom! The bridal wreath falls all about you in long, white, airy fronds, and the Japanese crab is one mass of pink, rose- like blossoms. The evergreens are alive with new growthg the hedge is a.TF1e Gift Cl Liqhlli one long ribbon of palest green, the ramblers are a profusion of pink- tipped buds, and the Shasta daisies have thrust their pretty faces through the bars of the trellis at your feet! See! Impulsively I grasped his hand. The awe-stricken blind man knelt and stroked the upturned petals, pearl-white in the morning dew, with trembling affection. A queer look, most pathetic in its lines, portraying gladness and a yearning for some- thing that was not, crept over his face. The silence that followed was unbearable. - And the sky is blue, clear blue, I rushed on, and the birds are singing, and the air is sweet with the fragrance of flowers! Still that silence. Slowly, unwillingly, he arose, and sighed deeply. Then in measured tone he began: ' ' It's been twenty-six years since I lost my sight-twenty-six years. A chip of stone from my chisel splintered my eye. They didn't know much about eye surgery in those days, and 'twasn't long beforeythe other one was gone. I remember when they first paved our streets-I used to wonder what they were like. They told me that they were like long white ribbons, I actually got down and touched them. I used to think the streets of heaven were like that-long, white ribbons. He sighed, relieved at having finished his little say, and his face fell once more into that riask-that stony, sunken, lifeless mask of the sight- less. I made my purchase hastily, and ere long I again heard the monoto- nous tap, tap, tap of his cane. Twenty-six years! Twenty-six long hard years of darkness, impene- trable, enshroudiig darkness! I shut my eyes and try to imagine the feeling-the fear, the horror, the endurance, the blank finality of it all- ancl the sensation becomes so vivid, so horrifying that I open my eyes quickly in terror lest it be really so. I used to think the streets of heaven were like that-long, white ribbons. Are they? Are the streets of heaven like the foot-paths of earth '? Are the walks of the eternal life like the walks of the life here below '? Are they '? Man holds so much in his hand that he does not appreci-- ate, so much that he does not love, so much that he does not see. We are granted friends, and we turn against themg we are granted homely bless- ings, and we spurn them, we are granted the beauties of the earth, moun- tains and brooks, forests and fields. and the animal life that throbs about us, and we shun them for the artificial baubles of our own creation. Oh! that we had the eyes of the blind that we might see! DOROTHY E. MCCULLOUGH, '21. n ' , 7, 2 Pl f 1' I P'- :W,C6-Lf' 1 m43f. 'f:E?wi7-' 691'-E' 3?

The western sun slanted a mellow ray through the blue dusk of the room, tipping with gold the thin, angled nose of a skull. The practicing baseball team in the schoolyard had thinned to two or three noisy voices. Still the boy worked half-heartedly over the unfinished drawing of the skull. Aimlessly he lengthened the jaws, heightened the cheek bones, deepened the eye pits. Funny, he thought, how eyes once looked out from those empty spaces, and red lips laughed over those yellow teeth. He wished he were dead. His thoughts wandered over the day's grievances. Up in the morning at live, passing papers, firing furnaces, running errands, and so on. No time with the fellows, no time for baseball-just work. What was the use of going to school-of living? Was it imagination, or were eyes gazing at him from those empty sockets? Just a shadow. Queer, anyway, how -it made him think of that boy across the fence. He'd often wondered about that boy who had had everything, and yet had died. Didn't seem quite right. Why once he'd loaned him his pup to hold for an hour in exchange for a dime. Queer kid, cooped up in a garden of flowers, always peeping through a broken slat into the alley. Had a governess, too, hanging after him. They'd envied him his pony and cart, though. Then he had come no more, and his mother had walked in the garden and cried. Why, yes, those eyes were brown and sad, too. The lips had parted in a queer little twisted smile. Was it the boy behind the fence? Respon- sively, he smiled back. The boy was speaking. He-llo! you do remember me, don't you? I've tried to speak, but I can't make folks hear-only when they're in a listening mood. A fellow gets lonesome hovering about the door, waiting to be noticed and remem- bered. So you wish you were dead? You have the one great prize-Life! Everything is before you, I had scarcely begun to live when the door was shut in my face. Why, the world's in the hollow of your hand. Work, boy, so that when the door xn Ulf 3... of life is shut on you, you'll have something to show! Live boyg plunge deep into life! Look at God's sun and be glad. Drench your face in the dewy grass, and be thankful you can feel it. Go out into the world bravely. Fear-doubt-worry-suffer! That is life. Not to fear and suffer is oblivion. Smile! Things will clear up after a while. Put your best into life, and the best will come back to you. Let me tell you a secret. Lean close-closer- The lad leaned forward eagerly, straining until his eardrums seemed to burst in an effort to catch the last low word. He must hear the secret. Nothing else mattered. The faint whisper reached him disconnectedly. Love all things-work- The voice trailed off into silence. But the boy, as he groped his way to the door, through the 'dark room seemed to know that the last, unheard words were Be glad. PAUL lN'lCMIlI.LEN, '20.

JOSEPHINE BALZ, '20, 3223 Thro The Dusk ' S we ascended the last few creaking old steps, and turned into what seemed, in the faint, flickering light which our candles afforded, to be a long hall, we experienced a sen- sation which I do not hesitate to define as fear, though my bold companion would term it excitement. had happened, and we were coming there in a darkness only scarcely lessened by our feeble candle flames. With slow steps we made our way down the shadow-haunted hall, and our footsteps resounded throughout the old structure with an effect most terrifying to me and--I am sure--in a not much lesser degree to my friend. ' ' We were approaching the room-the room where it - I I if ,I I gnu Dust lay deep upon the floor, and musty cobwebs covered the low- raftered ceiling of the hall-way. At length my companion. who was just ahead of me, half-halted, and, after taking one or two more fearsome steps, stopped. As I joined him, I could see the door, and, in that pale, yellow, sickening light, my memory recalled all the unfortunate circumstances connected with the last time that door was allowed to swing on those massive, rusty hinges, supporting it. Over a score of years had elapsed, and now, as I once more stood be- fore the entrance to that room, with the same companion as on the last occasion, it seemed to me that I was enduring all the horrid torture which my soul suffered when last I had occupied that terrible position. Neither of us said a word. Reaching into my pocket, 1 drew forth, with trembling hand, a huge key. As I held it out toward my friend, it slipped from my lingers and fell with a crash upon the marble-paved floor. The echoing and re-echoing of its sound continued for several awful moments. It lay hidden in the dust. Groping with cold fingers in the dirt, I regained that hated key, and, putting it, none too steadily, into the great key-hole, I turned the ancient lock. What a screeching and creaking and groaning! I shook in fear. The lock turned, and the door stood ready to open. Then would I have turned Q We 1,13 '11 0. '. '-'asf a. - '+P'-' .

But no-my partner would go on. He grasped the corroded, mildewed knob, and pulled. In our curi- osity to peep once more, a curiosity which I own we both felt in spite of terrible fear, we held our candles near the edge of the door where the opening must come. A cry of the hinges, a gust of musty wind, and the candles were extinguished. We stood in petrified horror before the open doorway. Moonbeanis cast a faint, ghostly glimmer over the floor. My associ- ate stepped into the room, and both of us groped for matches in our pock- ets. He found one, and reaching for the wall, he lighted it. It flared. A table stood in the center of the room-a massive, oaken table cov- cred with papers now nearly hidden under the dust of two decades. The ceiling was very low, and from it hung a huge, old-fashioned chandelier. My eyes next fell upon the wide, old fireplace. As I viewed each por- tion of the room, my recollections grewlin distinctness. I was, as was also my partner, held by the fascination of seeing once more the old, familiar scenes. We both were prevented, for a moment. from recalling the fearfulness of our last visit there. And then-our eyes, at the same instant, fell upon a dreadful, all- too-familiar object, gray and ghastly, lying on the floor-in the deep shad- ows behind the great table.

While she is trying to collect her scattered parcels, an aristocratic American lady enters, brushes past her, kicks one parcel out of her way, and exits! Alien: See! There your American. You all like-a dat. Customer: But look again. CYoung American woman enters, smiles a cheery good morning at 'the old foreigner, helps her to pick up her packages, and starts her on her way again.

They accepted America, and America has accepted them. They are today in very comfortable circumstances as the owners of a chain of grocery stores. And they, too, started with a :fruit stand.

To be sure, there is some unkindness, but surely you have seen today that it is far outweighed by kindness and a desire to help the other fellow rather than to run him down.

ART ln MVSIQ General lihlelics HORTRIDGE athletics prospered more during the season of 1919-1920 than for several years previous. Although no important championships were won, all forms of ath- letics received excellent support. The enthusiasm for basketball was demonstrated when all attendance records were broken by a crowd of over twelve hundred at the Franklin game, and when three special cars were required to transport the legions of Shortridge rooters to the never-to-be-forgotten Martins- ville contest. A Basket Ball Extra which was issued by the Echo just before the final game of the sectional tourna- ment was another departure from the usual rule. Five minor sport tournaments were run off during the year. Mr. Rice, in charge of the fall golf tournament broke the ice. G. Griffith and W. Mitchell won the series, but lost out in the city high school meet. J. Sagalowsky carried off nrst honors in the fall tennis singles and com- bining with Dixon, also copped the doubles. C. Coen walked away with the spring golf tourney. At the present writing the spring net king has not yet been decided. Among other victories, the Blue and White twice defeated Tech in the pin sports. Early in the fall semester, Coach Tatlock called a b3SK6t ball mass meeting in the study hall. The attendance was very large. At this time, the intra-mural color league was organized. W. Moll, H. Metcalf, H. Taylor, H. Escol, F. Stevens, H. Vorhes, E. Fillion and L. Michenor were chosen captains by Tatlock, and these men, in turn chose their teams. Fillion's squad brought home the bacon with a per cent of .750. Tech won the City High School basket ball league which followed after Shortridge led the field for several weeks. Four teams represented Shortridge in this race: Blues under Mr. Rouchg Whites, Mr. Crockett: Meteors, Mr. Clem- entsg and the Comets under Mr. Watson. The athletic board met on alternate Tuesday mornings at 7:30 throughout the year. Mr. Reuter, Mrs. Steichmann, Mr. Roache, and Miss Donnan were elected by the student body as the faculty members. The student members were: Elizabeth Wales, Leunice Horn, Jack Koster, Harold Cash and Edward Fillion. Mr. Tatlock was presidentg Edward Fillion, vice-president: Leunice Horn, secretary: and Miss Donnan, treasurer. ,Z I Ii.. . . . Q f ff- ': , Ilbt. ' .

Although it has been in exist- ence for less than a year, it ranks among the best in the Central West. Sergt. Frazer, a regular army man, has been in charge throughout the year and he has pushed it on through all the junior tactics very successfully. The outfit now consists of two bat- talions and commanded by three majors, Kelly, Bas- tain, and Hunter. On a recent inspection by the Division Commander the Shortridge Battalions were highly commended. HE Junior Class is no exception to the preceding classes: it is just as good as ever and perhaps a little better. The class elections started the class ' off with a grand push. Horace Prunk was elected president, Claudia Weyant, vice-president, Eleanor Mueller, secretary and Thomas Evans, treasurer. The yell leader was Bailey Fessler. As a class motto, Aim high and achieve the impossible was selected, the flower, Killarney rose and the colors, orchid and white. The Junior prom was a financial success, and a social success as well. The Junior- Senior reception was one of the best ever given. Shortridge State Club was organized this year to promote school spirit among the pupils, and to bring thc Freshmen together for jolly times. Mrs. Thomp- son and Miss Smith are the censors. The present oflicers include Governor, Margaret Waters, Lieuten- ant-Governor, Frances Westcott, and Secretary, Clif- ford Heidenreich. The work of the Freshman State Club has been divided into eight departments, Rec- reation, Patriotism and School Spirit, Ethics, Voca- tion, Education, Fine Arts, Health and Hygiene, and N910 5-.Eff I3 gs 'J Social. HE Stor3 Tellers Club started off successfully last September with Miss O'Hair as its censor and Arthur Loag as president. The club carried on its usual inter- esting course, the study of classic Greek and Roman myths with suitable music on the Victrola. The party, held in the gymnasium was well attended and greatly enjoyed. The largest undertaking of the club was two plays, Orpheus and Euridicef' and Icarus and Daedalusf' The plays were written by club mem- bers and the cast was composed entirely of Story Tellers. .

The year was wound up without a single victory to our credit. It seems that the wonderful basket ball season sapped all of the school's enthusiasm for athletics, and thus track re- ceived but meagre support. Lotick was the only Shortridge man to place in the sectional tournament. Tech won and Manual came in second, but a week later Manual won the state meet. Kilgore was high point man for the season. In the interclass meet at Willard Park on May 24, the juniors won with 58 points against 21 for the underclass men and 19 for the S9lll01'S. VERY Shortridger knows of the great success of this year's baseball season. Of the six games' played at the present writing, four have been won, and of this number Manual has been defeated twice, Newcastle, once, and the Paulist choir of New York City once. Myron W. Tatlock was manager of the nine and Cald- well, Adkins, Vorhes, Escol, T. Smith, K. Smith, Michenor, Riley, Richards, Ferris, and Dixon formed the team. SPLENDID basket ball -season was closed when the Shortridge squad went to the finals of the sectional tournament, only to be defeated there by Tech. Dur- ing the year, Shortridge won 21 of her 36 games. Among those who fell before the Blue and White was Bloomington, then state champs. Three out of four scraps were put on ice on the Christmas vacation barnstorming tour. In the sectional at Tomlinson Hall, we downed Southport, 29-23 Oaklandon, 35-223 Broad- Ripple, 13-10, but were put out by Tech in the finals, 27-16. The score of this game was tied three minutes before the final gun. Color League players, Coach Tatlock combed out a state squad consisting of F. Stevens, H. Escol, L. Micheno1', H. Caldwell, L.

Class Poem ,auf H, Shortridge, as we leave thy halls today, wks NI 4 o sw!-' l W ils'.'3'S, is : If eval Our hearts are sad and filled with love of thee. Dear Alma Mater, thou hast given us To drink thy cup of knowledge, and the draught Hath breathed into our spirits all the hope And faith and courage to pursue our ways Along the mighty road that's known as Life. Today we stand before a radiant gate That opens into something strange and new, We know not what, except that there beyond Those portals lies that shining promise land That men call Future. So it is for that Thou hast prepared us, Shortridge, in the years We've spent with thee. Well didst thou know the trials, The sorrows and the joys that lie in wait For each and all, and from thine own great heart Thou gav'st to each a message all his own. As one day fades beyond the western hills, Wrapped in the robes of Night, ne'er to return, And gives its place unto another day, So doth our high school life thus fade away. But on our hearts, our souls, there is engraved A burning, loving memory of thee. And though our paths may lead us far away, We, children of thy love, will wander back In memory to thee, and from our hearts, Dear Shortridge, there will come a prayer for thee. -LUCILE SULLIVAN - W .ai Ulu Honor Dorothy Arndt .......

The Class Play Q6 --5 HE presentation of the 1920 Senior Class Play, Nothing Q5 iQ But the Truth, proved to be, financially, the most success- if fa ful one ever given. The cast was one of unusual dramatic ability and experience, which lent the professional air that seldom marks amateur performances.
