But if good wishes and prayers can open the gates Of this big world you are about to face, No single messenger, Mercury though he be, Could carry the burden, toil as he might, by day and by night. What world could resist you, though it be at strife! O war-fiend, crouch before this band of strong, young lives! Who, trained by duty and sacrifice, are to their brothers' cause consecrate And to the cause of world liberty dedicate. -VIRGINIA EMILY CLAYBAUGH. :tt EDICOKIFIL. sv :cox AR and news of the American boys in France hold the interest of us all these days.

With our knowledge of life still so limited it is hard in a book so small to do justice to Shortridge and to the Class of 1918. Each year since its founding our school has grown, its Senior classes have grown, and with the added numbers the interests of the various classes and school have broadened. The Class of 1918 is proud to be the fiftieth class to graduate from Shortridge High School. It is still more proud to be what -it is-a truly cosmopolitan group. Our hope and wish is that you find this little book just as democratic, just as pleasing and entertaining, just as representative as our class and our school. wel give, we send our Annual forth with a feeling of anxiety not I v' 's I X Do not be too critical.

In one of the tail-pieces the Assyrian Lion, the oldest known symbol of power, is lead with a wreath of roses by an orphan child. This thought is very beautiful in itself and it expresses a splendid appreciation and honor for Democracy. The motto of the class consists of a charming composition of lettering, at the side of which is a large S enfolded and draped with an American flag. The initial letters and headings have also for their motif flags, emblems, insignia and other symbols of the Allied nations of the globe. The symbols of the Arts, of the Industries, of Agriculture, and of A Gardening are portrayed as emblems of helpfulness in conservation. - -MARGARET OTT. thought, however, is a classical figure, who inspiringly watches 6 NJ Because of an extended illness Elizabeth Wineinger was not able to serve as an associate art editor of the Annual.

HNIFICEZIR REP RCER HERE was usually something doing when Sylvester Leighton was around, so it is not surprising that things began to happen when he appeared at Hartford College. To his intense disappoint- ment, however, his affairs had progressed with ominous smooth- L- J ness during his first few days at that institution. It had been gif? in vain that he had sported his green hose with cerise clocking, designs. He had begun to despair of making an impression and attaining the notoriety he craved, when he suddenly got an idea. He would become a newspaper man and thrill the populace with his tales in the Hartford Daily. Being a man of action, he straightway bought a copy of the paper and read it earnestly. V 5 his six plaid hat-bands, and his twenty-five neckties in fioral u - Aha!', he exclaimed, pouncing upon the account of the Delta Pi House robbery, It says here,,'A solution of the mystery of the robbery is anxiously awaited? There's my chance! I'll write a solution. With the best of intentions, therefore, Sylvester fell to work. The result of two hours' labor was a solution of the mystery ,exceeding in suspense and plot development the most exciting ten-cent thriller it had ever been Sylves- ter's pleasure to read. He had thought and thought in an effort to find a suitable name for the robber, and at last one occurred to him that perfectly suggested the nefarious character of the villain. In fact, the name, Lorenzo Reynolds, fitted so well that Sylvester could hardly believe that he himself had invented itg he was haunted by a vague feeling that he had heard or read it somewhere. Tucking his masterpiece under his arm, he hurried to the Daily oflice. He was met at the door by an apparently frenzied youth, who was tempera- mentally ruffling his hair and muttering, Oh, for a head! If I only had a head l' What's the matter with your head ? asked Sylvester sympathetically. It's my head-line I'm worrying about, you poor fish! cried this fellow, who was the news editor, giving Sylvester a look that was intended to wither him. Being a good sport, however, Sylvester brazenly returned the Gery glance and presented his manuscript., ' The news editor seized the story appeared to devour it in gulps, and, with- out looking up, exclaimed, You're the detective on the case, aren't you? Some nifty little job! You got this stuff to us just in time. Before Sylvester could speak, the news editor rushed to the editor-in-chief and ecstatically embraced that personage, roughly knocking the editorial pencil from the editorial ear. . Qcnnnmaceun sc once it My head! my head! he yelled. I have found it! ' Acts like he'd ,lost it, observed Sylvester, and departed to dream of the glory that would be his when the tale was published and the author became known. A The next morning Sylvester read in the paper with great eagerness his solution of the mystery. Another person also read the account with evident interest. 'That person was Lorenzo Reynolds, Doctor of Philosophy and Pro- fessor of Psychology at Hartford. As soon as he had finished reading the report he arose with such vigor as to upset his chair, and hurried to the oHfice of the president of the college. Consequently the edition of the Hartford Daily containing the objec- tionable article was suppressed and a meeting of its reportorial staff was called for that afternoon. Sylvester, seeing the notice of the meeting on the bulletin board, and believing that the publication of his story had. made him a member of the staff, attended. Alas, how was Sylvester to know that Fate had only been' flirting with him! He returned to his boarding house that evening with a blackened eye, a sprained wrist, a summons to appear before the student government council on the following Monday, and, what weighed heaviest upon his erstwhile buoyant spirits, without his most stylish collar and loveliest necktie. ,Sylvester's trial' was short. It soon became clear that the crime had been the result of an amazing state of ignorance, which excused him, according to the student. government rules. In the course of' the trial it also came out that Sylvester had seen the name that had so impressed him in the catalogue of the college. . ' Sylvester's energy and initiative finally gained for him the editorship of the Daily, and recently he secured a captaincy in the army. Being still as game as in the old days, he doesn't mind telling this humiliating experi- ence of- his occasionally. He always ends the tale by saying, Of course, those editors were all but beheaded, and they've kept a strict censorship on the 'Daily' ever since-but anyway, that story got me what I was after-plenty of notoriety!

The river turns black, the trees lose their individual shapes and become a blurry mass. Somewhere in the forgest a bird is singing the last notes of his vesper song. But he, too, soon ceases. Gradually the mountains in the distance lose their sharper outlines. Dark- ness hides all. The moon climbs over the tops of the trees, cold in her silver- pale beauty, and the river moves solemnly on toward the ocean. The vesper hour by the river, with all its witchery and appeal, is past. -KATHLEEN M'KEE.

Midnight had hushed the city, and the silent houses lay black splotches in the soft moonlight. The throbbing life of day had faded into the somnolent pulsation of a resting world. If sinister figures lurked amid the shadows, they created vo, Constance, asleep in her white bed, dreamed on oblivious of .. the. rays of moonlight filtering through the closed window-shut- I T ters, making grotesque shapes of the furnishings of the room. A N book lay beside her pillow-a volume of poemswhich she had been reading before she turned out her light. She had been trying to memorize some lines for future reference, but she went to sleep in the midst of it. Dreams are fantasies of the sleeping mind, and Constance's, unaccount- ably, seemed to be merely a retrospection of happy times spent on her grand- mother's farm. In her sleep she was a little girl again-her brown hair swing- ing in two lank 'pigtails,' her gingham dress fluttering above bare legs. Bird, docile in his senility, was waiting to take her for a ride on his broad back. Up she climbed, aided by a boost from her'uncleg up until she sat astride Bird's slippery back. She clung to his mane with both hands, half-delighted with the elevation, partly frightened at her own audacity. Away they went, step by step, up the graveled road that led past the house to the highway. She could see the mailman come driving his odd little wagon briskly along. He stopped at her grandmother's box, that sat high on the post, lowered the tiny tin flag, which signified that there was mail for him to carry back to town, and dropped in some letters. ' Bird simply wouldn't hurry. Constance urged him vociferously but it was in his own good time that he arrived at the mailbox, where she could lean down to take out the letters and papers. On the way back past the house,she threw the mail to her brother, who was waiting. Then they amblcd towards the barnyard. Constance drank in the fresh, dewy air, and viewed with delight the landscape which spread out panoramically before her, Unfortunately, she did not heed Bird's direction until too late. She gasptd in dismay. The horse was headed for the wind- pump and a cool drink from the partially filled tank. Constance felt herself slipping, and clutched wildly at Bird's mane. But down, down, down she went into the tank! The pellucid water was not deep, but very cold as she fell in with a splash! As she shivered, Constance awoke from her dream, which had such an icy ending. She was trembling at the suddenness of her arousing, and stared Si f X ftsx only deeper gloom, analogous to their own tumultous thoughts. fill' astra amsc nlne c1unRml n.ar with wide-open eyes at the shadows, shot through with points of light, dan- cing on the opposite wall. . ' f ' Everything seemed quiet, and yet Constance felt that all was .not Well. .Was that a slight noise at her shutters? It might have been her dream of the cold plunge that had aroused her, but she was so alertly awake, and the silence was imbued with such eeriness! Ah! A slight noise at her shutters made her turn. hastily in that direc- tion. Surely she was not mistaken, although things appeared wraith-like, 'de- spite the rasping noise at the window. She fancied she could discern a leering face outside. To save herself from a panic she tightly closed her eyes. Half unconsciously she repeated the lines she had been committing to memory when she fell asleep. They were the Lady's Words in Comus. if ' 'F That He, the Supreme God, to whom all things ill- Are but as slavish oflicers of vengeance, Would send a glistering guardian, if' need were, To keep my life and honor unassailed. . if ' it Constance stirred restlessly as shesilently repeated the wordsQ and she Hung one arm out across the pillow. . p . - Something crashed to the floor! Constance caught her breath, then relaxed as she realized that she had' knocked the volume of Comus from the bed. But, however inadvertently it was done, the act had served. The rasping sound ceased abruptly, and the shadows wavered strangely. Silence once more. By and by the girl's eyelids closed and she slept from sheer weariness and relief. . Outside the darkness remained mute until the moon faded and daylight came. Houses have no voices, nor the brown earth, yet they related the story the next morning, which Constance understood as well as if it had been articulated. On the ground underneath her window were impressions of heavy shoes-deep prints, as though the heels had been forced into the earth to insure a firm foundation. The window sill, just below the catch of the shutters, bore the marks of a jimmy which had started but not completed its flagrant work. .

The one seated in the deep arm-chair, in the firelight, was a young man of not more than eighteen, an invalid. Oh, yes, he would have told you, he was a dragon the family. He never did anything for themg they were always helping him. His brother, the man in khaki standing at the left ofthe mantel-piece -his brother Art didn't chum with him. And what was the use of anybody's chumming with an old invalid! Yes! and he was a grouch, too. Oh, he didn't blame Art for letting him alone! He -in fact, he wouldn't want Art hanging around babying him. Ugh! He hated being babied! Except by Sis. But Sis was different. Somehow, he always felt in another way when he thought about Sis. She always understood. When a fellow's back had felt like sixty all day, and he got to thinking about what a bore he was-nothing to do, nothing to say, wondering why he'd ever been born--then it was that Sis showed her metal. She didn't say, 'Now, you're just tired out-that's .all that's the matter with you, and you'd better come on to bed, just as if he were some little kid. No, Sis wouldn't act that way, even though she was the lonly mother he had any more. Sis would come and sit on the arm, of his chair and tell him in a thousand ways that she understood, and that she was there to help him. And Sis was there this evening. She hadn't left him in the lurch on the night of Art's departure. Somehow he felt sure she knew, although he'd never said anything about it, how he hated the sight of that khaki on Art. It re- minded him so of what he might have been. But this evening he wasn't going to hate it. He wouldn't be a cad like that. If things did seem all one-sided, he would just forget it. Even if Art didn't care anything about this-this-cripple, he'd try to make it up to Art this last evening. ' To clinch his good resolution he had brought something he knew would please Art. He'd heard Art asking Sis for her picture to take away with him, but because she had no recent one she fancied his having, she didn't give it to him. To be sure, she would send one later, but transportation overseas was risky. So he-he the good-for-nothing Koh, yes, that's just what he was, no matter what you said about it!-he'd brought a little locket Sis had given him several years before, with her picture in it, and had resolved to give it to Art just before he left. He would keep that locket in his right hand, and then when he and Art shook hands at the last-then that hateful thing that came inside him and made him do those little things-that thing couldn't stop him. He would give that locket in spite of himself. He would get the best, for once, of his over-sensitive, strained nature. j -A--cn'-z mwK2l..lc',z:-A- The minutes dragged on. He could hear Sis's fingers tapping nervously on the table behind him. He glanced at -Art, who was bending down, poking the fire in a nervous fashion. How the fiery red of his hair was illumined by the firelight! I - Heavens! Couldn't he put the poker down without slamming it? Now he was striding to the table. Oh, hang it all! he was bringing the cigarette case. Won't you have one, kid '? , - What right had Art to call him kid? -How much older did he think he was! . And when would Art learn that this kid couldn't smoke? He wasn't good for anything but candy, or chewing gum, or some of your soft stuff. No, thanksg I-I believe not. U-ugh! He felt as though he were chok- ing, and he reached up to give a nervous tug at his collar. Just then he heard Sis's foot give an impatient kick, and then she came to perch herself on the arm-of his chair, to check the enemy's fire. A fold of her dress fell across his knee. He touched it reverently. What a warm, soft brown it was. How ex- quisitely it blended with the subdued shades of the room, like the soft brown of her 'hair and the cool grey of her eyes.. But come! come! He must make conversation at any cost. Er, when is it your boat leaves ? Now he knew it was useless to ask that question. Hadn't he heard them not half an hour ago saying they wished they knew how long 'it would be after Art reached the coast before the transport would sail for France? - Just then the clock out on the stairs struck. The time was up. Sis arose hastily and went to the door. - i The moment had come! He looked up at Art and saw, with the keen annoy- ance of his sensitive nature, so regardful of the minor details of dress, so pain- fully conscious of any carelessness in another's attire-one button missing from his brother's khaki coat. That empty button-hole and the idea that Sis had clipped that button because Art was going away, set his every nerve on edge: It made him suddenly furious. - So, somehow, when his brother strode over and grabbed his hand to boom Goodbye I that locket was in the other hand.. He managed to stammer, I- I-goodbye, I mean, and good luck. . Thenhe pressed the big, clumsy hand ever so lightly and swallowed hard. His brother was gone. The parting was over, and the invalid, vaguely aware of the sound of the footsteps passing down the hall to the outer door, bent forward in the firelight and laid his left hand stifiiy upon his knee. Then he opened it slowly, as though afraid and yet determined to look within. There, in the shadowed light, he saw the ugly white marks the locket had made in his clenched hand. ' 'U'-CHE IDYKYMIGC--lr' He felt, in a troubled way, his lips moving. They were faintly forming a tune. It was My Soldier Boy, the tune he had so often heard his brother whistle. Someone coming down the hall was humming it, he thought. Sis, of course-and, oh, yes, Art would be whistling it, too, out there, somewhere. An ache clutched his throat. His head fell back against the soft leather of the chair. His clenched hands relaxed. The locket fell to the floor and its crystal shattered. A shudder passed over his body and his eyes closed in pain. The barriers were down, the flood-gates were open. His cup of bitterness had overflowed. . A cool hand was laid across the Derelict's forehead. Sis was there. Sis understood. , ' I A ..... ppak - HELEN ATEN. R.

From the large garden on the left, arose millions upon millions of fire-flies, like perpen- dicular waves, which receded and then began again. Night was falling upon the wide and solemn country-side. The last without malice, yet reluctantly. The moon was just ascending K---N behind a cluster of trees, which stood whispering and sagely nodding, as if to announce their radiant visitor. Lavishly did she repay them, showering 'lher silver beams unrestrainedly. She reached the top, and the fields shown in tinsel glory. The corn shocks rose like so many wigwams. Fields and fields, until the, eye reached the horizon, where the first stars were visible. Ah, the stars! Shining, twinkling myriads of them! We could say, think, feel no more. Our souls were wraptg our hear blood, pulsing red, throbbed with purest ecstasy. A far-away cry of a near owl broke through the stillness. A cricket chirped his song. The winds gently tossed our hair. Were we inspired? As each star rayed its brightness ungrudgingly, lovingly, so we resolved to give the best in us. The brightness of each individual star makes the heavens a world of diamonds: the virtue of every man will bring peace on earth, good will to men. - - -HELEN WHITMAN. w w w, gray vestige of dusk surrendered as one great general to another, qi ,, I. buunu Q U 9 A' y 1.

With great presence of mind, Jimmie sat quite still to figure his way out of this labyrinth. l I i His unwonted silence roused the ever-readysusnicions of the teacher. ,She exposed him by calling on him to recite. His brow knit histrionically, his mouth screwed mechanically, but Jimmy gave-ngmgsign of having heard. His ambushed brain even failed to respond to a sig '-ptitious punch from his rear. A truculent movement on the of Missilmg 4 ie spurred his vanguard to move into effective action. Rasrny seizing?-,, . -ruding end of one of the knit- ting needles, he jerked it loose from its bindings. With the hoarse, despairing cry of the knitter who has dropped a. stitch, .the would-be patriot sprang from his seat. He emitted a yaow of rage as he broke his fetters and sent balls of wool rolling up and down the aisle. The stealthy giggles changed to unrestrained laughter as the painstakingly prepared square was exposed to the public gaze. A nearby Wag, gleefully making a waving banner of it, turned' his yell of derision to one of pain as his most aristocratic facial member came into force- ful contact with the fist of the artist. A t He quickly converted his pennant into a weapon of defense. Not in the least daunted, -the infuriated knitter, clutching the needle, succeeded in obtaining a broken part of it, with the remnant of the square. ',fThe few' attempted intermediators soon retired in disorder as they got their share of wildly aimed blows from both parties. And so the two combat- ants shed their :blood alone. The loops and ends of wool left on Ji,nlmy's? er- son' began toentangle themselves in the clothing of his opponent,,and eir deadlock became effectively strengthened by the causus belli. Finding them- selvesin such propinquity they had to be contented with short-range but con- centrated attacks on the shins. a V At last a troop of janitors, armed with scissors, was ,called to cut the gor- dian knot, and Jimmy's militarism received its initial stern oensoring as he watched his first offering for his country rudely snipped topieces. U -MIRA BOWLES. H tmsucs co mrx.huFF KlD ANY SHORTRIDGE teachers have attained fame abroad, else- where in the United States, but few have been appreciated at home. Mr. Ilufford, however, was always loved by those who 4,5 knew him. This is a tribute from a colleague: vi-1 George W. Hufford was a man teaching. With him teaching work both by his attainments and his character. Beginning his f education before the days of specialties, the foundation of his scholarship was broad. By the best use of spare minutes he , 1 , made this broad foundation the basis of many scholarly attain- ments. The Greek, Latin, French, German and English languages 2 1d literature were at his command 5 to him higher mathematics was by no means a strangerg the facts of science were his acquaintances and history was his friend. Democratic by nature and imbued with the love of learning, he was ever on the alert to discover and help any person seeking an opportunity to train his faculties and increase his knowledge. With Mr. Hufford there was no aris- tocracy of intellect. He rece-Qnized no barriers to education except the lack of a desire to learn and the failvf e to make the necessary application. 1 Modesty being one of h. -.st 1'o1 est mar icteristics, the positions of honor and trust which Mr. Hufford Ktldciii the educational world were due to his pro- found scholarship and his high ty-pe of manhood. Indiana is better off for the work of this educator within her borders, for he imparted to many of her citi- zens an inspiration for learning and furnished them with a model for a noble life.

For years Miss Hamlin acted as secretary' to Principal George W. Benton. In the Shortridge ofiice she served the public, the teachers and the pupils in such a way that respect and aiection for Shortridge meant respect and affection for Miss Hamlin. Her unlimited energy, gay Wit and interest in individuals did much to preserve the social union of the school. Even after leaving Shortridge to take a position with the Indianapolis News, and up to the time of her death, she continued to be a Welcome guest at all Shortridge affairs. She was and is Our Nellie -a name by which she was known among teachers and pupils, and a name which will truly represent her upon the pages of Shortridge history. -ANGELINE CAREY.

As the last vibrant stroke of the clock died away, I rose and stepped out upon the porch. The old year was gone forever! The new lingered timidly on the threshold. Like the sudden blare of trumpets that announces heralds of good news through the crisp, spicy air, and, at intervals, cathedral chimes ventured a sweet, modest tone. Gradually, weary whistles here 4 and there grew fainter, a lull was settling when out of the west sprang a champion of the bells. In a deep-toned peal of defiance he sounded the war-cry, a potent challenge to whistle-foes.

Of this number thirteen were adopted by mem- bers of the faculty and students as individuals. The money that went toward keeping the other fourteen orphans was made up by collections from clubs and other groups, the Penny-a Day campaign, and the Lafayette Day collection. During the first pf 'L,October, 1918, seven hundred and fifteen Christ- mas packages were sei, b ,lf1?IlSh01'ff2I: jge. to France.

The result was the leasing of the Alhambra for three days. A rally in the form of a patriotic pageant, under the direction of Miss Mary E. Lynch, was held in the auditorium to arouse enthusiasm in the project among the students. The results far exceeded, jthe hopes of the Association-the proceeds netting them a sum of nearly a thanx and dollars. ' L A Perhaps the biggest factor to make us realize that Shortridge is having her part in the 'War is our service flag. The fiag was hung in the auditorium with due ceremony at special exercises in January. There are four hundred and one stars in the iiag. That means there are that number of Shortridge stu- dents and alumni who are serving their country either over there or some- where in the United States. We are repr' , in every department of the service, army, navy, marines and civil sci vvork Our boys, whatever their official raid' ,rivate fr captain, are leaders in everything they are doing. Many reports have come back and everyone has made Shortridge prouder still of herpboys who are fighting for the cause of humanity. ' Many of them have writtf iletters to their friends and teachers in Short- ridge. Excerpts, at least, . .these letters have .always been printed in the Echo.

And now the world is covered with a pall of darkness and there are stars, too, that are steadfast and true, faithful and brave. that have come out to shine for us, to watch over us and to give us their service until that dawn comes when civilization in the world is saved. They are giving their services not for individuals, nor communities, nor country alone, but for humanity.

FELT. MSIWRCRIDGE souma nssa An extract from a letter of Sergt. Ben'-imin D. Hitz, Li Base Hospital No. 32, says: - 1 I have always thought and I believe it, more firmly than ever now that America will never really feel the war for a long, long time. Thousands of individuals-wives and mothers-have felt the pangs of parting and separa- tion, of course, but the Na .ion as a whole has not felt it and will not feel it until the big casualty list: start coming in. Looking back from. here, I am im- pressed with the fact that America has been playing at war. The novelty of our wheatless days and meatless days has not yet worn off-we are still rich as a nation, with infinite resources which have hardly been touched by the burden of war. Wf ' 'ill have dozens of substitutes, equally or more attractive than the things of 'i '1 .we have deprived ourselves. Americafs most wheatless day would be a 'v time in France. France has war bread every day. Except in the Ann A there is no white bread in France-there is no corn- bread, nor g ior whole-wheat nor ryeg no soda-crackers or biscuits, and fron 'i on, 'V of any kind.

The different things which composed the generous gifts have been shown to the little boy, who is delighted with them. Thanks! A thousand times thanks for the good and touching remembrancesg thanks also for the twenty-five francs received I at- the same time thatnthe package was received. The poor little boy is two, 0' ne-half years old: he is' not yet at the age to comprehend the use of the ' ing gift, nor the names of the generous givers. You may well believe tlra..,,,.. the future his mother will not forget to make him understand and love his generous friends in America. In his name, Tipermit myself to offer my most sincere thanks. Per- mit me to take advantage of this occasion to offer you our best wishes, and those of my relatives, for the new year which is beginning. May you be able, and your generous compatriots who show so much sympathy for France, to long enjoy all the happiness possible. This will be the thing which we will constantly ask in our prayers. 0 SB Qu Dr E VICCQR R Q Ekg qi? sPolLg-Q: Zi 'L 'J fx gg ... RIFIC. 1 .

Two inter-school debates and a local discussion contest with Emmerich Manual Training High School constituted Q the head-liners on this year's program. On April 5, John Ruck- elshaus, Mitchell Benson, and Norm' Borroughs, representing Shortridge, were defeated in a disc .on contest for the cham- pionship of the Seventh Indiana I ,trict by George Cryder of E. M. T. H. S., at that school. Thr contest was hotly contested. 5 A The winner, Cryder, made a good showing in the state discus- sion contest at Bloomington. A splendid showing was made by Shortridge in the debates with the Louisville Boys' High School here on May 10, and with Steele High School at Dayton. on May 31. The home team which competed with the Colonels from Louisville was composed of Frederick Brewer Ccaptainj, Lyman Hoover, and HenryBruner. It gained a unani nous three-to- one decision. The team that debated Steele High School at Dayton consisted of Joseph McGowan, captaing Telford Orbison and Norman Borfoughs. Both teams debated on the question, Resolved, That the arbitration of . idustrial disputes between capital and labor should be compulsory in the United States. Shortridge took the affrmative in the debate with Louisville andthe negative in the debate with Dayton. All six boys who were on the two big 1918 teams were members of the class of 1918. Five of them were on last year's tri-state ebating teams, and Brewer made one of the big teams when a sophomore. 'he two captains this year were captains last year, both winning their debates then. The Boys' Debating Club of 1917-18 was composed of twenty-five mem- bers, all of whom are live wires and were prominent in class and school activi- ties. Arthur Shea,9as treasurer of the club, did his part to make the debates of the year a financial success. The other oflicers of the club for the second semester were Frederick Brewer, Lyman Hoover, John Byram and Herbert Hill. Club members were active duringthe year in other than debating lines, boost- ing many patriotic and school projects by speaking in session rooms and else- where. The club completed its year's program with the annual luncheon and the debate of junior club members on May 24, at whichtime the next year's work was surveyed and plans for the future were laid. Six members remain as a nucleus for the 1918-1919 club work. William N. Otto, who has been the splendid coach and instructor of the Shortridge debaters in the past, continued his work in the same capacity this last season and will be on hand to help and direct the club in September. The club season this year has been one of the most successful in the school's history, and the Senior 1918 class takes away by graduation many able and first-rate debaters. . egos rgw. K In EMB ERS of the Shortridge Echo Press Association, which is com- posed of the five Echo staffs, published the sixth annual copy of - the Christmas Echo in December, 1917, despite the fact that the Q7-Q difficulties were almost overwhelming. The publication was -l-,.,g,,.,5!-- unusually successful-in every way. Arthur Shea, conducting the subscription campaign, brought in twice as many subscribers as -- in times before the war, and many good conservative advertise- r V ments were secured by a committee including Herbert Hill, chair- X g I man 9 Fr wderick Brewer and Morris Edwards. The Christmas ' ' Echo oi 517 was exceptional from the creative, literary and . mechanic, tandpoints. Although prices of ink and paper were very high, and the maga- contained an unusual amount of ,fine illustrations, the price remained at five cr fits a copy. Three thousand copies were sold. Miss Gertrude Shieldgcand Mr. Jennings were among the speakers who gave, inspiring, helpful addresses before the club during its fall semester ses- sions. In the early springs the regular club sessions gave way to a journalism class, organized by Mr. Otto, which class has been very successful in improving the quality and text of the Daily Echo. At the May meeting the club was given a fine, address on college journalism by Mary O'Haver, '15, a former Echo and Annual editor. The final meeting of the year was held on May 31. The ofiicers for the year were: Albert Mueller, president, Mary Henderson, vice-president, Mary Wrightf secretary. Editors of the various editions were: Monday, Albert Mueller Tuesday, Robert Gates, Wednesday, Mary Henderson, Arthur Shea: Thursday, Gaylord Woody Friday, Margaret Duthie. The club membership for the year was fifty-two. vu Q- ' LTHOUGH the membership of the Fiction Club was small durin: ,Q the last year, the club accomplished much. During the year the members made a study of some of the more prominent present- day short-story writers and of current magazines. Several 'ws -- speeches on short story writing were given before the organiza- Q tion by authors and literary critics. Helen Aten, Margaret fm Duthie, Vivian Ross, Frederick Brewer, Alexander Cassanges and Herbert Hill submitted some very high grade stories, which, V - 1 ,Q according to W. S. Jennings, the club censor, promise better lux 1, things for the young writers. Herbert Hill and Margaret Duthie, , - ' the two members who entered the Christmas Echo prize story contest,.received first and second places, and four of the members are on the Annual staff. All have contributed to the Annualff The Fiction Club offers much training and experience for the person who likes to write, and hopes to better his writing by constant study and practice. The club will continue its work next year. ' J X ' ' RESHMEN, were given their first taste of club life at Shortridge Q 'k . . this last year as always by the Story, Tellers' Club. There was I X no English I Club this year. The Story.,Tellers' Club did much in KX Q war work and yet kept up its former literary activities. Girls of QB e H the club knitted several hundred articles for soldiers, and the Q f H boys assisted in the work of preparingthe yarn. These pieces f X' X included scarfs, sweaters, wristlets, soc. , helmets and kneelets. The oflicers for the first semester were: Elf for King, presidentg MM Wyant Laycock, vice-presidentg Barbara E' lwn, enrolling secre- . taryg Mildred Stilz, recording secretaryg Catherine Cavins, treas- urer. For the second semester, Malcolm J illson, president 3 Theo- dore Medias, vice-president, Eleanor Mueller, secretary, Dorothy Goepper, treasurer. Miss Zella O'Hair and Miss Ruth O'Hair were censor' of the organ- ization. ' . 'NE OF the most successful clubs of the year was the Chemistry . to have many enjoyable and instructive meetings. .These included e trips to plants applying practical chemistry and demonstrations on that subject. Some of the most interesting lectures were upon Thermit, Liquification of Gases, Inks, Phosphorous and Matches. Great fun was afforded by a unique April Fool Day ' program that was really a fooler. The latter part of the year was kg V given over to the advanced study of explosives, from which very good results were obtained. The club, as usual, was open to all ' Shortridgers who had had one semester of chemistry, and was of special interest to those who intended to take up advanced and college science. Oflicers for the year were: N. B. Tichenor, president, Paul Hancock, vice-p identg Mary Henderson, secretary. il 5 l-kwin Club.

The club has just . completed a most successful season. The organization has sung lk . many times at auditorium exercises, and club members have also . IIII ' I Z E I 1 given solos at such times. Mr. Osbon, who is conductor of the -' club, has been building up a strong chorus of girls' voices, well trai' ge and developed. The officers of the Girls' Glee Club for - thc Year were: Catherine Howard, presidentg Louise Kerr, A libr. Jian. i 'f It 'is planned to revive the old Boys' Glee Club next year. The , organization was not conducted during the last year because all boys were busy with other things. Some slight progress was made toward school comm' 'rity singing in the auditorium exercises when songs of a patriotic nature were mg. This is another plan which Mr. Osbon is working on-a mixed chorus of six hundred or more voices. - HYSIOGRAPHY stars conducted the work of the Physiography V Club very successfully during the past two semesters. Numer- ous trips were taken, at which time club members made valuable ' additions to their rock collections. Indoor meetings were held D1 every other week and the club programs included everything from Weather forecasting to illustrated lectures on Mars. Mr. Joel Hadley was the popular censor of the club, and the officers were Edwin Hurd, president, Alice Young, vice-president, Nelson Hunter, secretary, Allen Sells, treasurer, and Harold Metcalf, I1 .I P lf! ll E , , , publicity director. i F THE many organizations in Shortridge, the Senate is the oldest. ' ' It was founded by Miss Laura Donnan in 1887, and, owing to the untiring efforts of Miss Donnan, has proved a decided success. ,h ' It affords opportunities for obtaining a knowledge of the funda- r ', mental principles of public speaking and of parliamentary pro- x cedure. This last year has been a particularly successful one. A Some of the bills introduced and voted upon were S? daylight sav- V ing, work1nen's compensation, woman suffrage? amepdments to 1 im abolish jury trials, eight-hour law, metric si '1i1em,- drafting of X ' friendly aliens, single tax, compulsory votif Lrminimum wage scales, prohibition of lynching, legislating se 'ng of intdxicants, establishing a United States College of Liberal Arts, espionage, foreign lan- guage regulation, and labor registration. The trial, pin, and 1. extemporaneous contests were of high quality. Presidents of the Senate during the year were Samuel Brown, Mitchell Benson, Henry Bruner and Joseph McGowan. tn'5+ 3-4 I X794-Z'R I 'hd-q -5: X'J2'S'l, l O1 .V Wig cornet, and B. HORTRIDGE mathematicians continued the work of the Mathe- matics Club this year. The club was given many talks by Short- ridge mathematics teachers and club members. At these meetings interesting programs were given every two weeks. Walter B. Gingery, head of the Shortridge mathematics department, was club censor. The officers were Ruth Gilmore, presidentg Selma Goldberger, vice-president, Emelie Steeb, secretary, and Joseph Mathews, treasurer, 'I 'P . Q NDER the slnfful leadership of B. P. Osbon, Shortridge musical director, the school orchestra has been made one of the livest organizations in the school and one of the best orchestras in any American public institution. The Orchestra has been a promi- nent figure at all home talent auditorium exercises, and whenever a school entertainment was to be given the Orchestra furnished the music. This group of musicians has been provided a training which is surpassed in few schools, and the value to individuals of the Work done during the last year can not be estimated now. The popular Shortridge Instrumental Quartet, ' including William Schumacher, clarinet, Delbert Allen, violin, John Schumacher, P. Osbon, piano, is a product of the Orchestra. The Orchestra includes over thirty pieces, all Shortridge trained. ' Musical activities at Shortridge included the establishing of a course in ele- mentary violin for any beginners in the school who wished to take up the study it the instrument. The classes proved' very successful, and it is planned to .tend the plan to other instruments. Pupils now receive credit for outside musical study. F5 g. . is ,sf staged a game, IRLS participated in athletics this year in larger numbe1's-Xian ever before. Basketball, volley ball and hiking hav? Kbeen enthusiastically supported by the girls under the leadership of Mrs. Steichman and Miss Gally. Miss Haynie hadtcharge of the successful girls' tennis tournaments. Eight basketball teams were chosen at the mass meeting which was held in November. An all-star team, composed of Ethelwynne Nally, Mabel Wil- liams, Martha Carr, Martha Barth, Evelyn Cornell, Ruth Bemis, and J ulietta Gally, captain. On the night when the Butler team forfeited the game with the all-stars, the juniors and seniors the seniors Winning. Forty girls turned out for volley ball, making four teams of ten girls each. The captains were Ruth Hawn, Martha Barth, Evelyn Cornell and Alice Crozier. The team of Martha Barth won the series. Hiking has been revived by the girls this year. A series of hikes has been managed by the teachers, and they have been well attended. Another notable athletic event this year was the May Festival. The girls showed their skill in different kinds of apparatus work, and a letter was awarded the best pole-climber. After a series of exciting games in fall tennis, Lavina Fisher won the championship over Bernice Bailey. P QHCHLYCICSG , 0 N SPITE of many difficulties which have been present during the ' I I year, our track aspirants have made a' fair showing. On Septem- iq ber 28, soon after school started, Coach Thoma issued a call for l cross-country runners. About fifteen boys responded and worked H faithfully until the end of the season in early December. Mark ' S Hanna was elected captain of the Marathonerii, and Justin Harvey was made assistant. In the Shortridge steeple-chase on Novem- f ber 19, Sherwood won first honors, Tian a came second, and Har- M vey finished third. Another meet was held over the four-mile k course from Riverside to Fairview via the towpath, on November . 26, in which Sherwood also took first, Pierson and Dangerfield placing second and third. Owing to sickness and conflicting outside activities, many fine track men could not come ou Edwin Sullivan, '19, was elected tracli and field captain, but later on in the season he was forced to withdraw from active work because of physical conditions. and Eugene Evans, '19, took his place as acting captain. Hancock, Evans, Pattison, and Sullivan were the more experienced men on the squad. On March 29 the Juniors defeated the Seniors by a score of 42 to 39. Paul Hancock, of the Seniors, was individual high point maker, with Hendrickson, of the Juniors, ranking second. Again on April 24, the White team, composed of Juniors and Sophomores, defeated the Blue team of Seniors and Freshmen by a score of 60 to 37. Shortridge entered, a track team in the sectional t ncy held at the Fair Grounds on Saturday, May 18, in which Technical, Ma.. ual, and four other schools competed. No meets with outside schools were sched- un., before the sectional high school tourney. Tennis at Shortridge was a Very live sport in both autumn and spring. In the fa.l, both singles and doubles tourneys had the biggest turn-out in the his- tory of Indianapolis high school tennis. John Hennessey won from Pierson Wilson in the semi-finals, 6-0, 6-2, 6-0, and Milton Petrovitsky gained the right to play Hennessey for the championship by defeating Robert Kellum, 7-5, 6-3, 6-4. Hennessey won the finals on October 3 by defeating Petrovitsky, 7-5, 11-9, 6-4. In the doubles, which started with 21 teams, Petrovitsky-Kohn defeated Melville-Henessey in the semi-finals, 6-4, 4-6, 8-6, 6-3, as Stevens-Scott were climbing to fame by putting it over Scidensticker-Lauter in a fast, long match, 7-5, 6-3, 3-6, 8-10, 6-2. In the finals, Petrovitsky-Kohn defeated Stevens-Scott in straight sets, 6-3, 6-2, 6-4. In the spring singles and doubles, tournaments were planned, and were held at the Fairview Park courts late in May and early in June. The tennis season was the most succsssful one Shortridge has ever en- joyed. The play was in charge of E. Carl Waston, president of the Shortridge athletic board. .BEXYZGHCHLYCICSG G HE RETURN of interscholastics in basketball and the games with outside schools which resulted, made the 1917-1918 basket- if ball season one which far surpassed, in interest and enthusiasm created, those of the last few years. As a basis for a good school liearn, the playing in the league games was of high standard. ,Fong teams-the Whites, captained by Vernon Shallcrossg the L Red? ed by Ralph Wheeler, the Blues, with Truman Short as captain, and Ralph Gauss's Purples, struggled for the pennant in L a series of hard-fought games. The final result of the league schedule was a tie for first place between the Whites and Blues, the Reds coming third and the Purples fourth. In a challenge post-season game, the Blues won- the league title by defeating the Whites, 31 to 23. Truman Short led the league in individual points, Johnny Hennessey was second, and Frank Shackleford third. The first interscholastic game was played with Rushville on November 18. Practice games were also played with Plain- field and Southport. The results of the interscholastic season were: ff, games played away from home, x, .games played in the sectional tourneyJ- 'Short- ridge 37, Danville 155 fShortridge 18, Franklin 313 Shortridge 37, Danville 115 Shortridge 24, Richmond 273 Shortridge 27, Rushville 17: Shortridge 20, Plain- field 16g 'iShortridge 16, Southport 115 fShortridge 28, Lizton 225 'tShortridge 25, Brownsburg 32: Shortridge 41, Evansville 165 X Shortridge 27, New Bethel 9g xShortridge 15, Morgantown 20. Total points for season: Shortridge, 3153 opponents, 237. This summary shows that the season was a very successful one, especially considering the fact that Shortridge had no 1917 state squad from which to draw players. All other teams were held to low scores and no team defeated Shortridge twice. Clean, fast playing characterized all the Shortridge work. Andrew Thoma -coached the team successfully throughout the season. ' ' NDIANAPOLIS high schools. took a sudden liking to baseball gk this spring, and Shortridge was a leader in the rush to the Qi - national game. A very successful league season was held, the White Sox, unde ' Truman Short, finishing first, with five games A 'I-5 won and one losf the Pirates, first under Robert Hall and, later, I after Hall enlisted, captainwd bw' Mark Hanna, second, the Giants 64 under Charles Atkinson, third ne Cubs, under Vernon Shall- I 5 iq cross, fourth. Some games v .ic , iyed in a minor league of two , teams, the Indians and Colone . cal. .ained and managed by Frank B. Wade and C. E. Sharp of 1 e faculty. The major league was managed by S. C. Morrill and A'fld1'9W Thoma, Shortridge athletic director. Several games with outside teams were played by the Shortridge varsity, which included Charles Atkinson, pitcher: Truman Short, catcher, Mil- ton Petrovitsky, 15 Jack Falk, 23 John Martin, 35 Harry Millspaugh, ss.: Charles Campbell, r. f., Mark Hanna, c. f.g William Schumacher, I. f., Leonard Ruckelshaus, utility. ,S encn izcl c e w 'I' NDER the direction of E. Carl Watson the first' golf tourney that Shortridge has ever held was played at the Sojith Grove course A last September. Ernest Burch proved to be'the-:best of the fi K followers of Col. Bogey, defeating Jack Falk .3 u1i,,:andf2 in the QI finals, after a strenuous fight. The prospects for a lsficcessful the continuation of golf in the spring and ,fall hargqf ' A in very bright, as many of the veterans of last year have beetl in 5-fzhtjol for the 1918 spring meet and many will re-enter Shortridgb-'in Septem- nu. ber. Among the present golf stars are Earnest Burch, Jack Falk, ' Edward Pointer, Telford Orbison, Ray Flickinger, Edward Raub and Eugene Pavey. Shortridge is displaying a brand of golf which is very high class, and in all cases very interesting. In the spring a four-round tourney was held. Play in June showed great improvement over the play in the fall. Golff may some day be put on an inter- school basis as more schools are taking the sport every year. NOTHER innovation in the line of boys' athletics this last year was that of bowling. A bowling league, composed of six five-man teams, one of which was made up entirely of teachers, was formed shortly after the Christmas holidays. Albert Mueller captained the Blue-Devils, Myron Kohn, the Tommiesgf Truman Short, the the Tanks, and E. Carl Watson, the teachers' corps of U-B02 5. The games were rolled at the Democratic Club alleys. The Shrg .pw nels were on top at the finish of the league schedule, having won l twelve games and lost three. The Sammies came second, and the U-Boats, Tommies, Tanks and Blue-Devils finished in the order named. After the close of fthe' league ei two-man team tourney was held, in which Telford Orbison and Parker Likely 'were the victors. IIN ! Q Sammies, Telford Orbison, the Shrapnelsg Milton Petrovitsky, I I I HORTRIDGE did very littlgdin swimming during the year, p- Y although Shortridgsrs, swimrifirng under other local colors, were very busyfi. Of all the Shortridge swimmers Thelma Darby is perhaps thi! most famous. She hoids several national records N9 X class of 1920, she is declared nationally a wonder, and her career has just begun. Other Shortridge paddlers are Norman Darby, William Roache, Owen Conrad, Phillips Conner, Herman Lauter, -3 Henry Churchman, Henry Dithmer and Lawrence Bass, all of whom are considered among the best in the city.

Mr. Doe had been search- ing for some time for a means of improving his newspaper, but he had always failed, so now, with this enobling motive in mind,' he started out once more, in hopes that he would find a publication which would realize his ideal of a first-class journal. rl, V X Ll Two years had elapsed since John Doe left New York on his last world-wide search.

Downcast, he took a taxi to the Claypool Hotel, where he obtained a room and spent the afternoon in a discontented review of three trunks of various newspapers he had collected in the course of his long, wide travel. After returning from dinner in the evening he noticed how stifling hot his room was, so he opened the windows quite wide in order to let in some fresh air. As he was about to resume his research reading, a gentle breeze fmirabile dictulj bore a bit of paper into the room. It flew about for a moment, then dropped to the floor. Mr. Doe, picking it up, was on the point of throwing it out the window, when he saw that it was a little newspaper. It was a four-page publication, each page containing four columns. The front page was devoted to important news itemsg the second, to editorialsg the third to a humorous section, and the fourth page to general news. Yes, it was none other than the Shortridge Daily Echo ! John Doe straightened out the paper and began reading. It was a copy of the Friday edition. The first thing that caught his eye was a long first page sport story, written by that veteran scarred correspondent, Herb Hill. The whole fron. page, with its snappy headlines and news items, drew a grunt of al from the critic. Never had the experienced editor read anything that n i compare with it. Best I've run across yet, he mumbled. I From the front page he follovf T up some articles to the fourth. It was likewise very interestinf From the' he turned to the second pape, and the editorials 'ere just tl. iked. There he found information regarding the papei s system. He lea.-mid that there was a different staff for each day. Quite an original system, he said. I must watch this paper for a week and see how it works. Last, but not least, he read the third page. H. R.-G. F. and Ima Clove kept him entertained for quite a while. By the time he had finished reading, he was feeling as jolly and good-natured as one Mr. Roache himself. All next week John Doe carefully watched the Shortridge Daily Echo. In the Monday edition, Albert G. Mueller's Slippery Slants did not slip by cntesuccts Sienna SYHKCH unnoticed. Articles written by Taie Howe and Justine Pritchard were greatly admired by the great New Yorker, and M, T. Dome's mighty third page was read with very favorable comment. Show me that ,boy Gates, he declared. He is a make-up man after my own heart. The ,Wednesday edition was full of interesting news. It also contained a remarkable editorial written by Mary Henderson. The Shortridge Calendar made a V, able impression on Mr. Doe. In fact, the paper was so good that day th. une' insisted on being introduced to Art Shea, that he might congratulate himl Mr. Doe learned on Thursday how Cicero used to read the Echo. It was a startling piece of news, but as it was written by Gaylord Wood he dared not doubt a word of it. He wondered if Herbert C. knew that Lyman Hoover was conserving frowns in In- dianapolis with his funny copy. He discovered an Ocean of humor on the third page. A . John Doe realized that his long search had not been spent in vain after the first week in Hoosier-land. ,At last his efforts had been rewarded. He decided, for his own paper, to have a different staff for every day in the week, in 'order to make each publication a little different from the others.

All of them, in the old happy days, were students at Shortridge. Now they are putting in their time on a farm, getting a couple of school credits and a few green-backs, and incidentally doing some good, The farmer enters to waken the boys, and a shaking arouses two of them, but Owen Conrad is still fast asleep. At last he rolls over and drowsily murmurs, Checks, please. This is too much for Dick James. Listen, Ocean, you're not at the Circle now. Wake up! It's time for you i l' hard work. K and Red to get up and milk the cows. But Morris Edwards IS ready to defend his rights. l Oh, that doesn't go! We did that yesterday, and the day before, and now it's'about up to you to get busy. Besides, I'm sick today. I think I have the measles. K u NowOcean is awake and ready to register his protest. e - Say, Red, you've had the measles four times in the last two weeks esides a couple of times last winter. It's about time for you to get somethii ilse if you ,want to get out of work today. Well, boys, says the farmer, who has been hanging around at a safe dis- tance at thegedge of the room, we have to get that wheat all shocked today. We will all do the milking and then go up to the house again for breakfast. Dick James readily accedes to this by saying, I guess it would be diplo- matic to get some food. Let's show a little speed. - Ocean adds, If I only had all the Circle ushers I would certainly get those cows milked in a hurry. ' Don't worry about that, replies Morris. If we were only safely back in Room Seven, then we would be happy. This sunrise awakening is really getting monotonous, and my back is about broken from yesterday's work. Me for the Palms! Gee, but I do hate that Kaiser! - Our work is going to help beat the Kaiser, says the farmer. catching his cue, so if you yet a good day's work done you are helping just that much. Morris grows enthusiastic. Come on, boys! Hoover says that food will win the war: I'm in for con- serving food. Let's go to breakfast. -DONALD WALKER.

This, then, was the Shortridge of '75, and as I gazed upon it I reflected upon the time when a three-story building had stood in exactly the same spot, and had been such a wonderful place to me. I did not wonder that the class of '75 was proud of the school it was to claim as its source of knowledge for four years. And yet I remembered I was just as proud of my Shortridge away back in '18. . But here I was, ready to see, after fifty years of living in a distant land, just how the high school boy of this day actually spent his four years in this great institution. And so I steptpc inside the large doorway and started my trip through a very different sc 'els from the one I used to know. Qi s FK. 5 0, The first thing that happened to me was very unusual and novel. From .4 small ante-room to the left a dignified gentleman came forward, and shakirffome gravely by the hand, asked me if I was not an old student, and if I woul care to have a guide take me through the huge structure. As these wel exact ' 'ishes, I readily consented, and, in answer to a-'summons by the dig.. fied g tleman, a uniformed boy came from the ante-room, and,in a manner 01 one ve y' much accustomed to this work, inquired where I shoulfl' qi, to go first. As'I had always been proud of a very fine 1' asket-ball floor arg' ' -f'gym in my days at S. H. S., I suggested we start with the bottom and vi . Leading me down a wide hall to the elevators, we soongot one ga' and, to my amazement, were taken to the elevators, we soon took one going, found the pools, which extended for many rods under the street and conn with the building in the next block. Here the young men -were given the . rudimcnts of submarine training, and the instructor in chareinformed that several officers were expected out of the class in session. After spendin: several minutes gazing with open' mouth at these strange sights, I moved to th :- first basement. Here the change was equally remarkable. A Whole regiment of very business-like soldiers-in-training were going through morning drill, and the perfect movements formed a wonderful sight. .

I was just upon the point of asking how this was brought about, when I found the answer by watching each movement of the students. They were all moving about very swiftly, and with a peculiar motion. ,ginquired of my guide, but he only pointed to the feet of a boy near at hand, and the answer came to me. He had on very small roller skates, and ,aMbh.e.floor was made of very fine rubber, not a sound was made by movements through the halls. Talking, I found was never carried on, as five minutes were allowed for conversation after getting to c ass. , This floor I noticed was the Math floor and the next four were limited to languages only. Upon the seventh were the chemistry laboratories. The head professor informed methat fifteen hundred formulas for iiourless bread and many for fuel-less stoves had been handed in during the month. This, how- ever, was poor work, as the month before, he informed me, had brought in several speciments of odorless air. , ' ' The school of astronomy on the floor above proved to have the very choicest specimen of the moon in the country, it being knocked off While the man in the moon was star-gazing. They also had several genuine stars in captivity, but I was not permitted to see these. The Floor of Fame was next on the program, and it proved to be directly above the school of the sky-gazers. It was filled with many interesting relics of former days, among them the pony upon which McGowan galloped through irgil, and the black cap that Mr. Elzea wore to fool the freshmen into thinking Jas Mr. Buck in the Shortridge days of those illustrious men. I was interrupted by a blood-curdling yell from above. I insisted upon iurrying to the twelfth immediately, and found a battery of nurses reading Shea's Mystery Stories to a group of freshmen, while their hair turned white befc we my eyes at the remarkable adventures of the famous Shea's imaginary her Wilful Willy. I Iy guide called my attention to the fact that these were second semester freshmen and that the first semester class was asleep in the automatic sleep- produring machine invented by Ruckelshaus. I f tr' 3 roof to see the greatest achievement of all. Here my am: , dless. On the one side was the knitting class engaged in a com ntement.

A On the other side was the aviation school in full swing. It was a great right to see the hundred machines in the air and a hundred more getting ready. litany familiar names appeared on the list of expert flyers, and it was with 1.1 ch pleasure and manv fond recollections that I passed out of the doors of Shortridge after my visit, with those names going over in my mind. Let me say that if you often get the chance, visit your old school and see the changes gradually. Live up to the changes and do not let them get the lead of you, whether you get back in '75 or in another year. -JOHN HEINEY. n ! k Em.. cnt GIRLS 'fnicunf if , HE GIRL sat perched upon the broad gate-post, her dimpled chin supported by her pretty, rounded arm, her short brown curls, liv- ened to a shining bronze by the lingering rays of the setting sun. Quiet reigned supreme about her, except for the faint tinkle of the M sheep-bells, and the rythmic cropping by the stock of the sweet, dew-sprinkled blue-grass. From out a tanned oval face the Girl's here and there with the shrubbery of the lucious black haw, at the L - slowly sinking ball of Ere. Only now and then the bleating of a lonesome lamb broke the peaceful stillness. Slowly the shadow of twilight nestled close to the sleepy Mother Earth, as tlfe' fell below the farthest line of trees. From the group of distant farm-hom tiny lights flickered, reminding her of the beacon lights along the misty shdoa The Girl was alone with her thoughts, and such thoughts, so deep, so grand, so lofty! Her mind, her body, her soul, she had most humbly dedicated to 'fir god- cless,,Nature. She loved it. Because of its simplicity, its beauty, its st, I, its song, its truth-she worshipped it.
