EDITDRIAL QQP' A 'IIQQ UR CLASS has had four objectives in the years 5' ,QQKQ W6 we have spent together in Shortridge. Initiative, g' 'Q scholarship, co-operation, and service have been ' 5225236 ' the basis of our endeavor in high school, and in each of the fields we have succeeded. Beginning in our junior year as an organized class, we pre- Q1 sented the junior vaudeville which demonstrated the ability of the class members to accomplish Qs U 6539 V f-Q any work laid before them. gms' Wagga In scholarship, the class has ranked among the leaders. Two class members have attained the goal of all scholarship, the perfect average. The large honor roll reflects the ability of the class in that field. In the paths of endeavor, our class has shown itself to be a leader. The boys and girls who were on the various athletic and debating teams lead in their respective fields. And now that we are to be graduated, the success of our class appears to be without a peer: but happily we have not reached our goal. Our record in school will, no doubt, be betteredg and in the fields that we are entering the objectives for which We have striven will apply equally well. Through initiative, scholarship, co-operation and service we shall be able to attain higher ideals in the years to come. -THE EDITOR. LANDMARKS-Crawford's Corner f , L Q,' .1 I , x- J , J.

Must I forget my dreams and fancies Conceived within these halls? Dear haunts and faces I have loved, Are they truly past? I turn and face the portals-they are closed- And face the world at last. I stood alone on the top of the world, watching the glory of the sun- set and lost in reverie. Every bit of nature about me was of awmg beauty and I felt more intangibly alone than ever before in my life. The sun was setting not only on a beautiful world but on a beautiful chapter of my life. And as the sun was loath to go and lingered with a lalst gouging glance, so was I loath to leave the last page of my treasured c ap er. It was June but the month was banished before the thought of the occasion and the consequent feeling that this was the eve of a new year. I felt most poignantly a poet's words Old year, you must not go, So long as you have been with us Such joy as you have seen with us Old year, you shall not go. An emotion akin to despair yet, somehow, happiness was mine, and the pictures of golden days, school days, stalked before my eyes in panorama. Carefree hours among friends in the shelter of time-worn walls. How comforting that sensation of security. To grasp every golden opportunity, every road to knowledge so generously proffered was my duty: to love, and with service repay the service rendered me was my privilege: to call all this my high school days and those sheltering friendly walls my alma mater seemed impossible. Now the last flaming ray of the sun had slipped to rest behind the hills, and myriad stars, gleaming and inscrutable, littered the sky. They seemed to nod bright heads knowingly, and imply you think you are wise, but we have the secret of the infinite. Wise little stars-with the wisdom of immortality. They hinted tantalizingly of a waiting future. A sage has said One is never again quite so wise as upon leaving high school. Already this truth was creeping upon me and all my past fruitful days seemed but pleasant by-ways to the eternal road stretching before me--to the land of Promise. A dream rested lightly as a cloak upon my shoulders and I was peering back, not forward. There is sunlight on ivy-clad bricks, birds perched T O M O R R O W --. J. 4. wg. 4.

Then stairs, to climb, weary, Worn, echoing stairs, salutations to call cheerily, rooms to enter and to tarry in. Sitting before me, my teacher with a friendly, encouraging smile. Questions asked and many pauses, then the peal of a bell and out I go, swept along in the throng. I must linger at the auditorium door. Gleaming rows of seats, silent sunbeams filtering through the curved dome and the flag suspended, swaying gently--dust and shadows. But ah-the legion of lights flash ong youthful groups file merrily into their places, auditorium today! Laughter, chatter, and then a firm, friendly hand asks silence. What follows? Music, a powerful voice, the lowered lights of a play, wild cheers and a waving of blue and white? How the spirit fills you, how good it is to-but wait-the dream has faded with the night, and I find myself again by the wayside, alone with the lost wind that wanders weeping, wailing through the trees. , Some one has awakened me-I am not alone, Youth stands beside me and in his outstretched hand he is offering the gift of Hope. How happily I recognize him and eagerly accept his gift. All the shadows are gone, and hand in hand with Youth, I step into the open road that leads to the land of Promise, with Yesterday a twilight memory and my face toward the glorious dawn of Tomorrow.

ALYS HINDMAN GRACE OR DISGRACE MARY MARGARET TUTEWILER i KINNY HOPS was thinking very deeply as he trudged to Sunday school on bright Sabbath morning. What i was he thinking about? It must be very serious, ow- ing to the solemnity of his face and the thoughtful pucker of his brow. Was it his Sunday school lesson? Oh, no! His mind never ran along that channel will- ingly. He was thinking what an abused, unfortunate boy he was. There was not a day in the week that was entirely pleasant. The first five he must go to school. School-a non-essential bore, made to aggravate boys like himself no doubt. Ah, if he could get the inventor of schools in his power! He would show him no mercy! If he had the inventors of wood-sheds, soap, spelling-books, castor-oil, and the man that first brought oat-meal and soft boiled eggs into use! He would wreck vengeance upon them! He glared fiercely at his imaginary victims. The man who brought soft- boiled eggs into vogue would be buried in oat-meal and .soft-boiled eggs. No, he would be buried and have to eat his way out. Skinny beamed with delight. Soap, spelling-books, and castor-oil, would be thrown into the sea with their inventors. The man who founded schools would be burned to death in every single school ever built. Skinny did not realize that this mode of torture was impossible, but it tickled his fancy nevertheless, and he proceeded to plan how all the former wood-sheds would be turned into free candy shops. Skinny was very pleased. He had arranged for five days of the week, now he must improve upon Saturday, the day the detested soap was used. Now he had only Sunday to be improved! Of course he mustn't improve too much because that would be wicked. He supposed it wouldn't do to abolish Sunday school entirely, but the lessons would be shorter, and they would serve refreshments at the beginning, the middle, and at the end, and in between times during the services. The children would be compelled to wear their oldest clothes, and any one who dared wear squeaky new shoes and stiff white collars, would be expelled. At last he reached the school door. Alas! his plans were but a dream. Not a comfortably dressed youth met his eye. Stiff white collars and new shoes were quite the style. Neither were there refreshments. This was quite a mistake for wasn't one of the favorite hymns, How Gentle are God's Commands? and didn't it speak of hastening to your Heavenly Father's Throne and Sweet Refreshment find? This was quite an over- sight. He must speak of it! But upon entering the crowded room, and realizing that every pair of eyes were fixed upon him, Skinny came stumbling in, as confused and bashful as pqssible. Mr. Emery, a lean, limp man, was out in front droning the lesson, GRACE OR DISGRACE and he drawled: When Daniel was lifted from the lion's den he spake- Stuart, you are late. Mr. Emery rather confused his sentences for the latter part was meant for Skinny. But Skinny did not understand this, however, and thought it part of the lesson. He was proud of the fact also that he should be con- nected with such an honored person as Daniel, whom he greatly admired, although he deeply regretted that Daniel hadn't killed the lions, choked them with his bare hands, that would have been more thrilling. Skinny stalked to his seat which was in a far corner behind a terribly fat girl who was large enough to conceal three or four boys, Skinny's size. Gften Skinny had gotten out of its lessons by ducking behind Grace's ample shoulders. But not so this morning, for with Skinny's name fresh in mind although he could see him, Mr. Emery asked this question: Stuart, do you have Grace for dinner at your house ? Skinny, thinking that Mr. Emery meant the plump specimen of girl- hood in front of him, turned crimson and stuttered out that they never had. Mr. Emery turned a long, scandalized countenance in the classes' direc- tion: Children! he exclaimed, To think that a boy in our midst whose parents are members of our church and are supposed to be good, loyal Christians, who tread in the path of righteousness, who scorn the slothful, who turn from the ways of iniquity-to think that such people would be so wicked, so sinful, so like the pagan as to admit that they do not have Grace at their table. . Skinny by this time was thoroughly frightened. He had not known GRACE OR DISGRACE -g-i.:- 14- 1+ iq- 1+ 14- Y-:. -1- Y-1-4+ ,+V -:- 4- -:Q -t- -?- -2- -1- before how wicked he Was. Must he have this repulsive, obese creature at his house at dinner? None of the other boys had. Why must he? But he must save the family. It would be terrible not to go to Heaven when he died. He would ask after the lesson and iind out if there wasn't some other way out of it. After the lesson Skinny asked if he must have Grace for dinner, and he was heartily assured that it was the only means of saving his family's soul. He gulped once or twice and then stalked out of the room. That afternoon he came into the parlor where his mother was writing some letters. Mother! he exclaimed, trying to wear an air of indiffer- ence, but failing entirely, I want to know if I can have Grace Milton for dinner tomorrow. Why-er stammered his mother for the request quite surprised her. Now, mother, do say yes. You see I have just gotto have her! Skinny cried excitedly. All right, agreed his mother, I always said that it would bc good for you to go with nice, ladylike little girls. Now what would you like for supper? she inquired beaming wih satisfaction. Oh, anything, returned Skinny with such indifference that she couldn't help laughing. When Skinny left, his mother returned to her letter writing with an odd smile, thinking that Skinny was a very queer boy. The next day the guest arrived two hours too early. Her clock was wrong, she said. Grace was dressed in a dirty, rose plush dress covered with cheap lace and ribbons. Her hair was frizzled and her fat fingers were loaded with penny rings. It took all Mrs. Hops' will-power to control her countenance when the dear, sweet, little Grace came lumbering in, knocking the furniture askew with her ample hips. After introductions were made, the family fied to the kitchen leaving Skinny to entertain Grace. They stood and blinked at one another for a few moments. Then Skinny broke the silence by saying in a sepulchral voice: It's a pretty day, isn't it? Grace began to snicker for it was pouring outside. Skinny was greatly confused for when he had finished the weather report his funds for conversation were exhausted. Let's go into the parlor, he murmured. So they adjourned to the parlor, much to Skinny's relief. The shades were all pulled down, and the room was in total darkness. In that friendly gloom Skinny hid his confusion. They sat there about fifteen minutes, Grace in the far northwest corner, Skinny in the southeast corner. At length Skinny, thinking that the parlor's charm was wearing off, decided that they had better leave. Suddenly he had an inspiration! He would get her interested in a book and then make his escape. At the mention of books she immediately asked him Whether he liked N apoleon's or Shakespeare's poetry best, and Skinny, who knew almost as much about it as she did, remarked that Daniel Webster wrote some pretty good ghost stories once in a while. I like Romeo and J uliet, pursued Grace, who, knowing nothing about GRACE OR DISGRACE Daniel Webster's ghost stories, adroitly changed the subject. Don't you just love Romeo and Juliet ? Um-they were pirates weren't they? No! pouted Grace. Oh, yes, I remember them now! Oh, do recite some of it ! begged Grace. Skinny thought for a few minutes and then began: Well, Rome owed and owed and owed because Julie et and et and et. Oh, you horrid boy. I am going right smack home! cried Grace, jumping to her feet, then remembered that they hadn't had dinner yet she concluded to stay. Here the agony ended, for Mrs. Hops appeared in the doorway, remark- ing that dinner was ready. Take her arm, Stuart. Don't forget your manners, she said with a mischievous twinkle in her eye. Skinny, with an expression of one going to his execution, gripped Grace by the arm and escorted her in. Skinny found that his task of supplying her wants was not an easy one. With her fat forefinger she would point to what she wanted and at the same time mumble some inaudible word, owing to the fact that her mouth was always full. The afternoon wore on and at last Grace declared she must go, and since no one begged her to stay, she made her departure, much to Skinny's relief. My, what Skinny endured in the days that followed! He was teased from morning till night. It did not take long for the children at school to find out, and they drew cartoons, made up jokes and riddles, and tor- mented him continually. His life both at home and at school was in a state of turmoil. Mother was the only one that felt that there was something behind the whole performance. She thought perhaps he had invited Grace because he felt sorry for her. The school children didn't think much about it except that it was extremely funny, and unusual, and decidedly entertaining. The more Mrs. Hops thought about it the less she thought that Skinny had done it for his own enjoyment. At last she decided to broach the subject. One night she said: Stuart, I think it was so kind of you to invite Grace that day to lunch. I guess the poor child isn't invited out very often. I did'n't invite her because I felt sorry for her, replied Skinny, and in answer to his mother's glance Skinny poured forth the whole story. His mother laughed and cried: You poor boy! she exclaimed, and to think you suffered so much because of one little mistake! His sisters gave a gasp and then looked at him with pride. George, his older brother, who had taken a large part in the teasing, looked very much ashamed, and his father exclaimed with a chuckle: Well, Sktirtnjiilso it was a choice between Grace or Disgrace, and I think you so 0 .n THE CARDINAL Before the trees are fringed with green, Before the first brave flower is seen, Before the sun smiles down on all As it gladly hears the thrushes call, I heard a note so sweet and clear It banished away all grief and fear. For a moment there on nature's breast A crimson cardinal paused to rest: Its joy dispelled surrounding gloom Like a brilliant flower burst into bloom, Straightway from God's own throne above It bore its message of hope and love. MARY MARGARET TUTEWILER THIS WGRD FORMAL EDWARD COHN Mr. and Mrs. 1 +- Request the Pleasure of Mr. Edward Cohn's presence At a Formal Dinner-Dance November Eighth, at 7 o'clock R.S.V.P. -+---1 Washington Boulevard Alas! The third word in the fourth line spelled d-o-o-m for me. What would I do, what would I say, and what, what would I wear at the formal dinner-dance ? All these questions popped in front of me while I nervously and repeatedly read over the words, Request the pleasure of - 1-- at a formal dinner-dance. I stayed awake for two nights, walked the floor for two days, lost five pounds and my schoolboy com- plexion in deciding whether to accept or send regrets. My parents worried about me, my boy friends thought I was love-sick and my girl friends felt sorry for me. Caesar had his Brutus, Napoleon had his Waterloo, and I had my formal invitation. After much debating, pro and con, I decided to accept. That's what started things rolling. I had five days to prepare for the unforgetable affair. So, on Tuesday, I started my first window shopping tour. Having never worn a Tuxedo before, I didn't know the correct dress and this was the cause of my shopping trip. Store after store was passed and a dummy in Strauss' window attracted my attention to the utmost. He was attired in a black suit, and had a stiff-front shirt opening in the front, a black tie, a wing collar and patent leather shoes. Also a handkerchief in his front coat pocket. Hm-m, so that's what the socially well-dressed man will wear this year, I said to myself. That evening at the supper table, I told my family of my observations and my intentions of buying a complete outfit. After discussing the sub- ject my fond family decided I had too many intentions. Then I spread the news to my boy friend. After many comments my know-it-all friend informed me that the dummy was dressed wrongly and that he would help me select my formal clothes. Wednesday came because Tuesday had passed, and once more I resumed my tour of inspection in order to see what was being worn. Each shop had its idea of the correct style, and I was more bewildered than ever. As such always happens, Thursday and Friday passed and on Saturday I decided to end it all. I went to Strauss' and asked for my favorite clerk in rather a hesitating and embarrassing manner. After a few necessary greetings, I told him of my desires. He jokingly remarked that I was get- ting old enough to step out into society and I was greatly put out by his true but hurtful comment. After twenty suits and three tailors, I had finished the first part of my painful task. As I soon found out, my shopping had just begun. Next on the pro- gram, was a dress shirt. I debated for an hour with two beautiful sales- THIS WORD FORMAL ladies as to whether a shirt, buttoning in the front or one buttoning in the back was in vogue. It might have been their questionable statements that finally induced me to take a shirt buttoning in the back, but I doubt it. I had heard of women mara- i'l'I ' thon shoppers, but by this time il II 1 I I felt I had surpassed all records l ever established by a being of the so-called weaker sex. My next purchase took place in the p collar and tie department. This It is where I purchased my wings, l L I mean I obtained my wing col- fl l 1 I I lar in this section. I endeavored 1 I 1 il ' I for quite a while, muchj to the disgust of the impatient clerks waiting on me, to find a collar suitable for my swan-like neck. I soon learned this was nigh im- possible and finally took the first one shown to me. Next, but far from last, was my tie. The fe- male clerk who was struggling with me finally gave up hope and did nothing but stand at the E:-nn. counter and glare at me. Fright- ened at her black looks, I took the next tie offered me. While waiting for the dog ornament and its em- bellishment to be wrapped up, I selected two studs in record-breaking time. By the time I left the store, I felt every one had watched me and there- fore quickly made my way to a nearby shoe store. Feeling exhausted and foolish I accepted the first pair of shoes offered me. It seemed as if the salesman was delighted at this, and feeling rather disgruntled, I changed my mind regarding the shoes. I didn't want any one to be happy while I was in this nervous mood and the salesman soon became aware of it. Everything has an ending, so I finally purchased the shoes and a pair of black socks. The method of boarding my street car with a half-dozen packages was quite a problem. Wobbling back and forth, with one hand on a seemingly elastic strap, I stepped on more than one foot. Fourteen hours later, I awoke and prepared for my morning meal. The word formal had made me a nervous wreck. I was in a stupor! I Washed my face, but not my neckg put on my tie without a collar under it and ate my eggs at breakfast with a spoon, much to the amazement of my folks. I had nothing to do, so I went to church and prayed for myself to be delivered from future formals. When church was over, there was a feeling in me that said, your prayers did no good. How true this was! I slept most of the afternoon, TIIIS YVCDRIJ uFCDRDdA.U' -1- 7+ Yi- 'V+ V-1' V+ YJ- 7+ -1- Y'Z'4-1- 4-I-H+ 11'-4-I-4 441-4-f-4-1-5-Z' and about 5 o'clock I started for the jinx clothes. I kept repeating like a brave boy, minute by minute in every way you will have less to worry about when it is over. At six bells my studs were bothering me, and so per usual they fell in some dark corner, where my father found them. The next incident to create a gray hair in my scalp was the putting on of my wing collar. First one side opened, then another side flopped widely into the air. Since patience is always rewarded, I finally succeeded in getting the collor on my neck. With surprisingly little difficult, I got my tie on. My parents bade me to call the taxi driver, which I did. As miracles will happen, the taxi came before I had even put on my coat. I rushed out and finished dressing in the cab. When I reached the appointed place I was just in time for a scrumptous dinner. After that dinner I was myself once more, and I enjoyed the evening dance as well as any one. I now wish to contradict my first prayer that I made in this story, by the following lines: Please, dear Lord forget my first prayer, About my asking for no more invitations for formal affairsg As I have no longer any fear Of any invitations that the postman may bear. p TO THE CLASS OF 77 For the many years that follow Here are wishes good and trueg May the best that this world offers Be none too good for you!

NELLIE SIELKEN I iii? , aspen ...v if fe . 4... 1 r.eo A if 'I THE LURE OF BIRDS FREDERICK BAUMGARTNER T THE PRESENT TIME we hear a great deal about avocations. Boys turn to athletics as a means of recreation, while men recuperate from the wear and tear of business by playing golf. Although much may be said in favor of the vari- ous athlettic sports, the question has often arisen in my mind why could not a part of this time be more profitably spent in some field of nature study? For the one who has a few leisure hours at night astronomy may prove an interesting and worth-while diversion. For the nature-lover there is geology with its fascinating study of the earth's formation. For others the study of plants, flowers, and trees may make a stronger appeal. My special plea is for bird-study from which many benefits both physical and mental may be derived. 0 How many of you have risen from your comfortable beds on a spring or summer morning and have sallied forth at the first peep of dawn in search of the winged denizens of the woods and fields? If you have never had this experience, you have missed a rare opportunity to become inti- mately acquainted with the beauties and secrets of nature. There is a freshness and charm in the early morning hours which fade with the progress of the day. Every gentle breeze sends a shower of moisture pattering down through the leaves, every spider web, heavily laden with dew, sparkles like a string of costly jewels. Perchance a cottontail, just returning from his feed of sweet clover, scurries across your path and disappears in a friendly patch of underbrush. A frisky red squirrel, carry- ing an ear of corn stolen from a nearby field, postpones his early break- fast long enough to chatter at the disturber of his peace. Then the stillness is broken by the clear, fife-like song of a meadowlark as he wings his way over the grass-covered meadows. This seems to arouse the other carolers of the tree tops and soon a flaming cardinal sends forth that lively and familiar whistle which is answered by his mate. A redheaded wood- pecker on the dead limb of a gnarled and weather-beaten oak begins his loud drumming-a call to arms in the morning stillness. If luck favors you and you have chosen a spot with water near at hand, you may even see the majestic flight of a great blue heron, as he slowly and rhythmically flaps his way down stream, seeking an ideal spot for his early morning fishing. Suddenly a kingfisher, perched upon a snag overlooking a dark pool, closes his wings and with an arrow-like swiftness dives headlong to the water beneath. This effort is successful and he returns to his perch with a shining minnow hanging from his beak. By this time you are filled with pity for the drowsy sleepers at home and are fully convinced that this is just the right day and the right spot for a successful bird hunt. To prove to you that this enthusiasm for bird-hunting is not merely W THE LURE OF BIRDS visionary, but results from what I have seen with my own eyes, let me tell you of the many thrills which I experienced one day last spring while studying birds on White River below the city. I reached my favorite hunting ground at sunrise. The river, swollen by incessant spring rains, had flooded the adjoining nelds and the damp breeze, unwarmed by the slanting rays of the morning sun, chilled me to the bone. However, all personal discomfort was soon forgotten when I swept the scene with my field glasses. It was a sight which would have caused any amateur natur- alist to lose a heart beat, and trembling in my excitement I could scarcely hold the glasses to my straining eyes. The field was literally dotted with hundreds of beach-feeding birds of all varieties. Yellow-legs with bills proportioned to their long, thin legs waded knee deep in the Water, care- fully examining the submerged grasses for small Crustacea. In the shal- lower water many solitary sandpipers twinkled here and there in quest of food. Others stood teetering in one spot, uttering their clear whistle at frequent intervals. At a signal from their leader, these sandpipers arose from the feeding grounds in a compact mass. Twisting and wheeling as one individual bird, now displaying their white underparts which flashed like silver in the early morning sun and then showing their uniformly gray backs, they finally disappeared into a near-by marsh. Here they would rest until night when the long flight to their nesting-grounds in Canada would be resumed. Suddenly a marsh hawk, gray as the morning mist, sailed over the field. The feeding sandpipers and yellow-legs, fright- ened by this threatening terror above, scattered and skimmed over the fields, just as a group of bank swallows darting after insects sweep over a river. A silent wader towering above the greater yellow-legs around him caught my attention. I was unable to identify him at such a distance until he suddenly uttered his shrill plaintive cry, Pill, Will Willet. Elated, I instantly realized that the maker of this, unusual and to me unfamiliar note was a willet, a bird rarely seen in this region. I then moved off to a different part of the field and concealed myself behind a convenient tree in order not to alarm the feeding birds. This cautious move proved to be a wise one as two pair of semipalmated sand- pipers, one of the smallest species of their family, skimmed over the field and alighted a short distance from my feet. I still retain a Vivid picture of those sparrow-sized sandpipers which scurried about on frail legs in the shallow water, daintily picking minute animal forms from the mud with their delicate black bills. :W ggx i Y A i---- - - A X i tr..

When alarmed they arose with a twittering whistle and pursued a low zigzag course over the ground for a short distance. Alighting they froze, that is effaced themselves by crouching low on the dull ground. Best of all was the sight of the black-bellied plovers. It seemed that they came from the pale sun in the east and flying in perfect unison a flock of more than Hfty sped over my head, revealing a swift yet well remembered vision of their coal-black throats and breasts sharply con- trasting with the white belly and tail barred with black. As they rapidly drew away from me they arose and in their ascension the rays of the sun caught them squarely and cast a dazzling light on their white backs. From whence they had come or whither they were going I knew not. Quickly they passed out of sight, and the thought came to me as I trudged my way homeward that the element of chance which had brought such an unusual array of birds to me in one day was perhaps the foremost reason why bird-lovers each year answer the call of the feathered folk and untiringly follow the rivers and the paths through the woods.

G D .J . ' . . . S . f ' and tearing open the bag revealed to Mrs. Brooks, a small kitten, rather dirty to be sure, but possessing a large amount of long, yellow fur, and an alarmingly shrill voice for a kitten of its size. Jimmie, said Mrs. Brooks, quite scandalized, where did that thing come from? Aw, Ma, I paid Bill Robinson eight cents and my best agate for her. Can't I keep it? Mercy, no. The dirty little thing. Take it away. Don't- but the kitten was gone. Jimmie ran after it to the kitchen, where, becoming quite terrified, the kitten ran under the refrigerator, only to fall into a pan of ice cold water. With a cry it jumped to the table, and landed in the middle of a pie, set to cool. Scrambling after the kitten, Jimmie rescued it from any more difiiculties. Seizing a towel he tried to rub the shivering creature dry. He placed it under the cook-stove and was walking away when the cook walked in and upset his plans again. Sure, Mr. Jimmie, she said, ye can't leave that ceature in my kitchen. Be gone with you this minute. Aw, shoot, said Jim as he picked up the kitten and left the room. He put poor puss on a chair in the library, and as he heard his mother say, Hurry up and put your coat on or you'll be late for church, he went to the hall-tree, and slowly donned his wraps. For some reason, perhaps he thought the kitten might be mistreated, J immie went back into the library, and as the kitten was small and his coat pocket was large, he slipped kitty in. She didn't seem to mind it, so he hurried out, and went serenely on his way to church with his parents. Arriving at church: the Brooks family went promptly to their pew at the front of the church, and taking off their wraps sat down to enjoy the service. Everything went well until the organist began to play. Suddenly a muflied cry was heard in-the direction of J immie's overcoat. It moved! Jim, said his father, What-, a small head peeped out of Jim's pocket, and a loud meow informed the organist of the disapproval of at least one listener in the congregation. Jimmie sat up very straight, though HOW JIMMY SPENT THE SABBATH his ears turned as red as the altar cloth. Every one looked at the Brooks family. Finally, as the cries of protest increased in volume and number, Jimmie could stand it no longer. Siezing his coat and cap he arose, and swiftly made his way out of the church. At luncheon no one spoke about the morning occurrence, though Mrs. Brooks was near to tears, Mr. Brooks very angry, and Jimmie quite nervous. James, said J im's father, I'l1 meet you in the barn in ten minutes. Yes, sir, replied Jimmie. He knew what was going to take place, but as it happened frequently, he was not unduly alarmed. Ten minutes later Jimmie was in the barn. His father was walking nervously across the floor, not casting a look at the culprit. Suddenly he blurted out, Look here, young man, what under the sun induced you to carry that cat to church ? I don't know. You never know anything, and I'm getting tired of hearing people talk about the pranks that Brooks kid pulls off. Do you realize you're ten years old? I suppose you think you'1l get off with a tanning because of this. I've decided that's a pretty small punishment for such a large boy as you. So look here. You will hereafter be given only five cents a week to spend and you shall go to bed immediately after dinner till you know how to behave. With that Mr. Brooks walked off. A light punishment you say? Not much, at least to Jimmie's way of thinking. ' ' 'K ' .Sister Rose had a caller every Sunday evening. This caller, Richard Baines, decidedly disapproved of Jimmie, and Jim had a great dislike for Mr. Baines, who teased Jimmie so much, pulling his hair, twisting his arms, and eating candy before his very face without offering him any. Jimmie could not tolerate such insults to his childish dignity. On that direful Sunday evening Jimmie was on his way to bed, as I HCW JIMMY SPENT THE SABBATH his father had commanded, but seeing a hat and coat in the hall, he decided to avenge his wrongs, slipping into the library he took a bottle of glue, and poured half of its contents into the hat. He next got kitty, from under a box on the back porch, and wrapped her in the coat. With that he went to his room. What his feelings were, when he saw Mr. Baines come up the front walk ten minutes later, no one knows. His head must have been in a whirl. Of course he did not know that the hat and coat in the hall belonged to an elderly uncle, who had come to the house while Jimmie was out in the backyard playing with the cat. Hurrying downstairs, he bumped into Mr. Baines. Hello, there, Jim. How-de-do, sir. Where's that cat you took to church this morning ? Uh-uh, what did you say ? I said wher's that kitten you took to church. I want to see it. Why, it's-I-uh-stuck it in that coat, Jimmie had to say, as Mr. Baines was holding him by the arm. Oh-ho, up to mischief. Richard took the crying kitten out, and looking at it closely said, I thought it looked like her. Say, Jimmie, if you'll let Rose and me alone after this, I'll tell you how to get twenty-five dollars. Do you want it? Jimmie's eyes opened wide. Yep, lead me to it, he said breathlessly. I don't know where you got this cat, but I suppose you didn't steal it. Oh, no, sir. Well, this puss happens to be quite valuable. Jimmie stared all the harder. You see it took first prize at a cat show here awhile back, with its mother and three brothers. It belongs to an aunt of mine, and she has been frantic over its loss. You see she raises cats, and this kitten is one that she especially prizes. She offered a reward, but I suppose as you don't read the papers you didn't see it. Now if you promise what I asked, I'll give you her address. Do you promise? Uh-huh. Well, this is her address, now beat it. Mr. Baines slipped a paper into Jim1nie's hand and vanished into the parlor. Jimmie stood still for a moment, then with a whoop he caught up his wraps, and with the kitten ran out of the house. About 7:30 a small boy slipped through the hedge around the Brooks' home and making his way stealthily to the back of the house dashed through the door, up the back stairs to his room. There he took a kitten out from under his coat, and tucking it under the bed covers, prepared to follow it. Jimmie was on his way, earlier in the evening, to take the kitten home, he had changed his mind. Kitty was so Warm and cuddley. He was sure she loved him better than any one else. She was more fun than a dozen snakes. When she patted his cheek softly with her paw, his heart melted entirely, and he turned around and started for the park. HOW JIMMY SPENT THE SABBATH .g.

Aw, what good was money any- how, he reasoned, not half as nice as kitty. As Jimmie lay in bed that night he murmured sleepily to kitty cuddled against his cheek, I don't care, kitty, if I do get a spanking for pouring glue in that ole hat, an' I don't care if I do have to go to bed mejately after supper, I don't care about nothin', so long's I got you.

My eyelashes were somewhat thin- I rubbed a greasy lotion in, And smoothed away a double chin Too, too abundant. III.

What bits of wisdom are unwittingly recorded at times! I laugh as I read these verses znow, but then it was a very solemn matter, not to be treated lightly. Mr. Burton has dashed off a few lines, but we won't embarrass him by publishing them. The thought of Mr. Burton leads to thoughts of Shortridge athletics. What significance can this little scrap of blue and white crepe paper have? Ah, here is a bit of writing on it, S. H. S. beats Manual, winning Sectional, 19253' After years of defeat at the hands of Manual, such a victory was to be remembered. All this recalls the snake dance down- town after the game. Do you all remember the dark horse and the iight it caused down at the Circle that night? That was the only real snake dance in which I have taken part, but it was all-sufficient. Oh, the end of that game, with the yelling of the spectators, the crash of breaking com- pacts, the final gun, and the shouts of the victors mingled with the wails of the conquered! After celebrating on the Circle, a long line of Short- ridge rooters marched around town, yelling and singing as they went. In the Severin we happened to see some Manual boosters-isn't it too bad I13hat.I've forgotten what happened after that? My, but that was a cele- ra ion. The regional last year fills up a lot of space with its memoirs, that bring back vividly that happy, adventurous day in a strange city. I be- lieve that that trip was one of the happiest in my high school years. Turning over a page, I see the boula that was given each plebe at the Roman State Banquet. Ever since that gold affair, I have yearned in vain for another one, while the Latin department has given us Satur- nalias and Liberalias in its place. I can still see the religious rites, the Gallic slaves, the strange foods, and the officers reclining on their couches. As I recall the latter I am struck with jealousy, for when I was an oflicer, we received no such honor or dignity. Here also is a tiny piece of the red border of my praetor's toga. The next few pages are filled with M E M O R I E S I Llll llllllllll i m' 'l fi N I F T -, j A b if 3 K 'V' memoirs of Glee Club in Mr. Palmer's day, Drama League, and French Club. How this part of the book bulges! The pages on which my Junior year is recorded are even more crowded with interesting things. Of course there are the officers and our colors, cream and crimson-not red and white as someone said-but most important, the Junior Vaudeville. I shall never forget that performance, with DeLand skating about the stage like a country rube, Rusty doing her famous work in At Charleston, and the jibes at famous Shortridg- ers in all the acts. The Wishing Well seems to have done some good, as work has finally been started on our new school. The Junior year was certainly la great success! Ah, but the Senior year, the most important, most pleasant, busiest year in all the high school course! Here is the program of the Honor Society meeting which apparently gave one of its members the chicken- poxg here memoirs of Senior Play, So This Is London. Wasn't the Senior Party great? And the presents! Mr. Burton's little red fan, Norris' croquet mallet, and someone else's rolling pin! Of course we all remember the little stockings for the candy, but how many of us knew that Mr. Hadley helped to sew them up? With Commencement We shall close the book, but not abruptly, for there will be so many things to remember about this time.

By this time, we were high enough to look down on tiny mountain lakes that lay in green valleys far below us. Little crystal mirrors, re- flecting the beauty that Nature had spread all about them: green grass, tall trees and sturdy little daisies. And still we travelled up! The pine trees thinned out, became scrubby. Then, suddenly, we had reached the timber line. It seemed one of the eight wonders of the world, this abrupt ending of growth on the mountainside. To obtain a better idea of this phenomenon, we looked across at a neigh- boring mountain. It was as though God had pointed a commanding finger and said, So far shalt thou go and no farther! The atmosphere had been growing steadily thinner and colder. We had left summer behind us, Winter lay just ahead. Far off on either side of us were snow-capped mountains, many so high that man had never climbed to their summits. In my memory forever is painted that scene: peak after peak capped with snow, silhouetted against a pale gray sky. Still we wound upward, with only rocks close about us now. As We neared the top, it grew still cooler and breathing required more of an effortg and then in a moment the train had run onto level ground and stopped, depositing its passengers on the very top of Pike's Peak. As I stepped, bundled in coats, from the coach, I felt the thrill of exploration. The grandeur of the ancient, rugged old mountain on which I stood filled me with wonder and reverence and, most of all, the joy of living and being a part of this great universe. OVER THE ROUTE OF PAUL REVERE LUCILLE WADE. x v HREE HOURS to spend in Boston, that scion city of Revolutionary days, I thought, as the long Pull- man puffed into South Station. A thousand pil- v grimages beckoned, of which, time permitted only M x one. But luck was kind. Opposite the station a ,QUMQQXX X I sight-seeing bus waited, which the driver informed ll me would soon depart for a tour of the route trav- bE,E,5,:'Q elled by Paul .Revere and his two companions on I their famous nlght r1de.' When the vehicle rumbled ' A off, I was comfortably installed on the back seat. The bus resembled a Packard of the 1915 model. An Italian, with a megaphone, informed us concerning the historic points along the road. We are now passing the Boston Public Gardens. In a moment, on your right, you can see the Adam's House, and so on. Looking back for the old North Church, I saw that a modern skyscraper blocked the view. I was disappointed, but as I gazed, strain- ing my eyes-was I beguiled by a mirage or a cloud sailing too low? Did the skyscraper grow misty, losing its identity, and finally emerge in the dim outline of the old North Church? Fascinated, I watched. Was that bright spot a lantern winking forth from the ancient belfry, and then- a second? No! I must have dreamed it. Determinedly, I faced about. The bus had entered the suburbs and I endeavored to take interest in the sights of modern Boston. But I could not remain oblivious to a strange commotion, an eerie force, which followed, always gaining, on the road behind us. Soundless, present only in the pulsing of the wind, it could not be mistaken. I would not look back, of course not. I turned and was not surprised to see three shadowy horsemen mounted on steeds whose hoofs sound- lessly beat the road. At the charred ruin of a farmhouse, they halted. The air vibrated with a silent alarm. At once, life stirred and the misty figure of a min- ute man sprang through the ancient portal. Then there was the silent thunder of hoofs as the horsemen swept onward. Drawing up before the house, where John Hancock and Samuel Adams were sleeping on the eventful night of April 18, 1775, the bus load alighted en masse. While wandering dreamily through the low-ceiled rooms with rough board walls, sturdy doors, and make-shift latches, I sensed a sudden change in the musty atmosphere, quick throbbing steps outside, a hollow knock. At once, the sleeping echoes of the old house awoke. I felt a fluttering, a soundless, startled bustle as of a ghostly household rudely awakened. A draft on the stair, an opened door, and I OVER THE ROUTE OF PAUL REVERE .g.'1.g. 1.3. 14. v.g. 1.3. 1+ 1-3. .g. 1.9 4.3. 4-3.4.5 A.f. ,L A g- saw handsome, reckless John Hancock followed by Samuel Adams hasten to safe . Thetyvillage green echoed with foosteps. Leaning from one of the narrow shuttered windows I saw the August sunlight change to the gray dawn of an April morning. Phantom dwellers from the old mansions poured onto the green, breathless farmers loaded muskets as the rude, ghost-regiment formed. The red-coated troops scattered with jackets red- der yet. A wounded patriot stumbled to the door of his home and died on the threshold. All aboard, shouted the bus driver. I drove past the scene of carn- age, by homes breathing of vanished heroes and out onto the open road where ahead, low in their saddles, three horsemen galloped for Concord. The dark cloud which had engulfed them was pierced as by a rising sun. Perturbation showed on their anxious faces, as they scanned the distance. Evidently they feared a foe. After pressing on for a half-mile, a bend in thilroad revealed it, a band of British cavalry hidden by the old stone wa . There the ride ended. One horseman wheeled rapidly, making his escape, Paul Revere attempted to spur forward and was captured, the third leaped the stone wall, with a soundless flurry of hoofs, and dis- appeared. In the flash of a second, it was all over and nothing remained but a huge, granite boulder bearing an inscription, before which the bus had stopped. K VX '55 ' -U -v- 2:1-QEEQN 2- Q C3-30.

ID IT EVER occur to you, that along with the countless inven- tions and novelties of this brain age, that to a certain extent you and I have been the artless victims of numerous historic humbugs? Perhaps the bird, who uncorked the poetic idea that distance lends enchant- ment to the view, had never been more than four miles from home. By the beginning of the twentieth century, people began to have their doubts about the superiority of certain pompous individuals, and began to investigate. Once innoculated with the debunking disease, the in- vestigators began to expose the innermost personal shortcomings of all people of any prominence. Everybody from Adam to Charlie Chaplin has been subjected to their inquiries, in order that the morbid curiosity of a prying generation might be satisfied. However, these investigators have at last given us the low down on a lot of old time celebrities who were supposed to have been but a very little lower than the angels. Just think how many generations have been bamboozled into believing that Christopher Columbus was foolish enough to waste perfectly good and expensive eggs trying to make one stand on end. Then there is no telling how many dumb souls have been shamefully deceived by the story of that silly and absurd hatchet and cherry tree stunt, supposed to have been pulled by the Father of our Country. Now 957913 this choice bit of imagery has been added to the list of punctured 1 ea s. Also there came that racey bit of information that the much-quoted patriot, John Hancock, was one of the chief smugglers of tea in that hectic day. It is said also, that John Adams was the crafty lawyer em- ployed to advise him how he could legally! ?J gyp the grasping John Bull out of a snug fortune in taxes, and get by with it. Possibly it was this confidential relationship that inspired the idea of hanging together or hanging separately. Then there was the daring and wonderful exploit of the long-cherished BROKENIDOLS Paul Revere, who for a century and a half has been the theme of poets and the subject of artistsg but when put to the cruel searchlight of modern investigators, proves to us that we have been hooked again on a big line. After this, our faith in the sacred traditions of the past van- ished as completely as did our childhood conceptions of Santa Claus. Now we are told that this Revere person was only a bold Yankee oppor- tunist, who talked himself into a niche in the Hall of Fame, while his less resourceful, but more belligerent compatriots were showing George III the gate and preparing the blue prints for this glorious land of free air and shingle bobs. Our last presidential campaign brought to light the amazing, unwel- come fact that the real hero was the modest grandpa of a certain erratic individual who established the popularity of the underslung pipe and wormed his way into the vice-presidency. Moreover, he has placed his name on the scroll of the immortals by the lavish indulgence of perfectly respectful cuss words. Future muckrakers will doubtless expose many of the secret deals and shady transactions pulled off by some of our most exalted contem- poraries. Just what their verdict will be when they have given the deeds of those famous persons the once over, is beyond one's imagination. May we hope, however, that in the future, people will be more interested in what's what than in who's who. H-,AIJM H T: M A 1 Hi. P '41 W Wi . ,f'tff Q x - x qvl, ,IAXAQ -Av - -0- . .M-N j..

A MOUNTAIN POOL On the peak of a mountain far away, In the midst of a sparkling glen, A tiny pool of turquoise Lies, apart from the haunts of men. Its surface is ever quiet, For one who is wont to pass Would think it was more than water- A shining sheet of glass. And when the sun is hanging low, Then molten in the West, The pool's a burning mass of gold, 'Till the monarch goes to rest. Then comes the shadowy twilight, The stars are dimly seen As if a veil had fallen To hide the golden gleam. Still lies the pool and quiet, All through the long night's calm, But gleams again more golden When breaks the celestial dawn. HELEN EISER TOMMY SAVES THE DAY MARY JANE wo0LsEY. , vm, . PEN-MOUTHED and staring, a crowd of , ' , 6 small-town citizens was excitedly gathered ,QL , around a suddenly popular bill-poster. f , o o 'Q Yeh, folks, he's a-coming here. J est pipe ' o these here posters. Ain't them the handsome - Q a birds? ' ' ' A spontaneous gasp arose from the awe- 4 P stricken group as the fellow, brush in hand, E ' ' I ' caressingly unrolled a flaming, Russian- l W I colored poster. gun . There y'are. See? His pasty forefinger ' pointed out the animating information. From a crimson background, foot-high let- ters shrieked: STROVINSKI! World Famous Violinist! Will Honor Oakdale Two Performances, May 28. Join the Crowd at the Town Hall! LAUGH with Strovinski! WEEP with Strovinski! Wonderful! Wonderful! softly exclaimed Reverend Jacobs. Oak- dale is indeed progressing. A world famous celebrity to visit us. What a honor! Mr. Wayne, here is worthwhile news for your paper. Ah-quite, replied the town journalist. Uh, Reverend, now-uh, confidentially, he continued, as he drew that worthy gentleman aside, I don't profess to be up to! the minute on music, or anything of the nature. I wonder if you could assist me a trifle. I hesitate to reveal my lack of knowledge but, under the circumstances, it seems necessary. Now, uh-just who is this Strovinski? I don't recollect much about him. Ahem! I-I hardly believe that I can give you as much information as you will need for your articles, Mr. Wayne. The fact is, I, too, am not as versed on such subjects as befits a leading citizen of Oakdale. Well, Reverend, said the eminent journalist, We must not reveal our ignorance to the other citizens. Oakdale must not be behind the times. I'll get the information. I haven't edited thirty years for nothing. The Oakdale Gazette will flaunt all the facts of the celebrated Strovinski's life in tomorrow's edition. We'll prepare Oakdale to receive so distinguished a guest. From just what source this information was to be derived, Mr. Wayne was not sure. Perhaps if no other material had been available his invent- ive genius would have supplied it. This, however, proved unnecessary. TOMMY SAVES THE DAY Quite to Mr. Wayne's infinite surprise and delight, the next day's mail brought unexpected assistance. A lengthy and. elegantly- composed letter came to him from Strovinski's manager, in which a detailed and thrilling account of the great Russian's life was sketched. After one reading, Mr. Wayne was thoroughly convinced that Strovinski was honoring Oakdale even more than he had formerly imagined, furthermore, the pricenof admission which he had at first thought exhorbitant seemed, considering the fame of the entertainer, disgracefully cheap. Oakdale was not such a poor town, after all, the editor mused. Why not raise the price and pre- sent the extra sum to the celebrity as a meagre gift from Oakdale? Mr. Wayne proceeded at once to carry out this inspiration. When the Gazette came forth with an extra edition revealing the exciting news, the town buzzed. Never had the citizens conceived of such an event. The news had reached every home within a quarter of an hour. Plans were being launched at once. A line of citizens anxious to purchase tickets was already forming at the Mayor's oiiice. The Smiths had cherished fond hopes and aspirations of a musical career for their boy for five years. One decisive day in his infancy Tommy suddenly sat up in his little white bed just as an organ grinder happened past. The unfortunate remark of Da-a escaped his baby lips and the family interpreted it to mean that the young Thomas was fond of music. In the succeeding five years, the fallacy had caused Tommy more than one agony. And now, as his sixth birthday was drawing near, the abnormal impression that the incident had made upon his parents, re- mained to threaten the happiness of that day. What could be a more wonderful gift for Thomas? his mother was saying. We'll let Sister take him to the afternoon performance. The little dear will be enraptured with the music. He is so talented! And so it was settled. Tommy and Sister received tickets to hear the great Strovinski. The whole affair was more or less hazy in Tommy's mind. His mixture of jumbled ideas gathered from bits of conversation he had heard and the impressive posters he had seen, took the form of a fantastic picture. His conception of Strovinski was that of a marvelous red and black Arabian Nights' genius, with penetrating black eyes, and a continual stream of music gushing about him. Strovinski's arrival, the parade and reception in his honor, and the long string of preliminaries was over. The actual hour of the first per- formance was at hand. A steady buzz issued from the packed Town Hall -but not the usual kind. This was a blended murmur of awed, hushed voices. It seemed to express the confined animation that filled each mem- ber of the audience. The hum lulled--then suddenly ceased altogether. One breathless moment of waiitng. Then-Strovinski! The celebrated! The famed! . His white teeth iiashed in a captivating smile. He bowed, and his long hair swept across his face, veiling the dagger-like penetration of his gaze. The shining blackness of his eyes was accentuated by his flowing red tie. Strovinski was a striking figure. But to Tommy, sitting in a conspicuously-placed seat, his appearance TOMMY SAVES THE DAY was disappointing. He did not compare with the mental picture that had formed in the chi1d's mind. He was of normal size and figure, and wore clothes that differed only slightly in style from those Tommy saw daily. One glance at the celebrity and Tommy's curiosity was satisfied. All interest vanished. The boy was visibly disappointedg but he prepared himself for a long interval of quiet Waiting till the happy time would come when his freedom would be regained. The performance was nearly half over. Strovinski's violin had uttered husky, droning airs, wild shrieking tones, and foolish flitting melodies. But, strain as they would, not a person in the audience had as yet been able to squeeze a tear into the folds of a ready handkerchief. A few were becoming angry. Who was this person who claimed powers which he did not possess? They had paid to be made to weep over music-not to hear an ordinary violinist. But only a few took this attitude. The majority were squirming under the .realization that the citizens of Oakdale could not appreciate good music. The mayor was feeling uncomfortably warmg he thought of the speech he had painstakingly composed and memorized which he must deliver at the close of the program, accompanying the presentation of a choice bouquet. The words kept running through his mind- It has TOMMY SAVES THE DAY given me great satisfaction to witness your appreciation this afternoon. We came expecting much, but our expectations have even been sur- passed .... Indeed, I have never experienced a more thrilling scene--a large audience all weeping in unison with a touching melody, and, in another moment, happily laughing together with a buoyant one .... The feelings you have shown. . . . What could he say, now? The audience had not weptg neither had it laughed. Were his hours of laborious composing in vain? Then-a sniffle! A sob! All eyes traversed the hall, and then rested upon a small boy in the front row. He was crying, softly, quietly. Tommy Smith, the boisterous little rowdy, was actually moved to tears by the music. Simultaneously, a lump arose in the throat of each and every Oakdale citizen present. Tears followed lumps, and soon a dry handker- chief was not to be found in the place. All eyes remained fixed on Tommy. Presently he moved slightly, his sobbing ceased. Slowly his tear-veiled face cleared. A smile came that changed into a grin. The whole sea of faces reiiected the boy's changing expressions. Tommy had saved the day! That evening at home, Tommy received royal attention. After a gen- erous helping of pickles, two immense pieces of pie, and anything else he requested at the dinner table, he was happily seated on the floor with a bag of peanuts and without the usual admonishment not to scatter shells on the rug. Tommy, his mother cooed sweetly, as she stroked his yellow curls, Mamma is so pleased to think that her little man was inspired at the concert-was really moved at the performance. But, Mamma, I didn't mean to move. I tried to sit real still just like you told me. Yes, yes, darling. You don't understand Mamma. I mean that you were so touched by the music this afternoon that you cried. Tommy hung his head. I know it, Mom. I'm s-sorry. B-but I jus couldn't help it. You see-- Why, honey, Mamma thinks you're a great big fine man to cry! 0h! Tommy gazed up at his mother in pleased astonishment. Don't you really care? Then, I'll tell you how it was. You see, I was sittin' there and all ova sudden I happened to think about Spot and how I'd forgot tu untie 'im so he cud sneak in after ever'thing was dark and sit with me. An' I jus' kept thinkin' 'bout pore 'ol Spot a-tied up here at home an' I couldn't help crying. An' then I heard a little patter in the aisle an' felt somethin' under my seat, an' I put my hand down an' good ol' Spot's tongue shot out an' licked it. Oh, boy! I sure was glad. And the innocent Tommy, gazing into the surprised face of his mother, added, But, Mom, I thought you didn't want me to take Spot along. Why didn't you care if I cried?

CRGCKETT HE MONTH of patriots, February, is just ended, and we have commemorated our greatest men, Washington and Lincoln. But today we are come together to celebrate a man who, in a smaller way is just as greatly patriotic as they. I speak of William Perry Crockett. Not renowned in militray affairs, nor known in statecraft, for which he had no opportunity and no seeming desire, his life nevertheless exhibits a type of patriotism quite as valuable to our country. This value lies in the power and the will for WORK. That great test of citizenship, the building of a home, the rearing and maintenance of a family, is as truly a patriot's ' duty as is the winning of a war or the execution of law. This is the sort of patriotism exhibited XVILLIAM P. CROCKETT by those daring pioneers, who, braving the toil . . and danger of the difficult voyage westward, set- tled in Indiana, established their homes, and became your ancestors. This is the kind of patriotism for which most of you young men and women must strive, for the glory of your country and of your state. To have planned a home, to have established and maintained it-this sort of patriotism meant sacrifice. It became a sacrifice through hard work- through professional hours at school, through leisure hours at home. It meant constant work, constant sacrifice. This is what Mr. Crockett stands for. This is' what many, many of your fathers and mothers are doing every day, year after year, in order that you, boys and girls, may come to school, and may return to a pleasant and comfortable home. This toil and sacrifice, so necessary, never ceasing, is your parents' contribution to patriotism. This constituted Mr. Crockett's patriotism, and it is our justi- fication for classing him, a humble citizen, among great men. MARY PRATT. Before I came to Shortridge as a teacher, I had a high conception of the ideals of scholarship, loyalty, and friendliness of its teachers and students. When I first became a member of the faculty, these ideals became personified in the students and teachers with whom I worked. In Mr. Crockett, I found personification of many of the finest ideals that char- acterize the school. I soon marked him as a man whom I wished to know better. I found him a man diligent in his business, devoted to his school, spending himself without limit to make his work more effective. But it is not by words that we rightly do honor to such a friend as you and I had in Mr. Crockett. Words can only point the way in which our lives should reflect all that was honorable in him. Let us with our diligence pay tribute to him, with our loyalty honor his loyalty, and by spending ourselves in the service of the school do honor to him, the fruit of whose labors we are left to enjoy. I believe this is the tribute he would most appreciate. W. H. CARNAHAN. We have met together this morning as students and teachers to honor the memory of our friend and teacher, Mr. Crockett. Mr. Crockett mate- rially has passed away and we shall see him no more, yet the memory of the high moral standard that he set before us, and the inspiring way in which he taught his subject to us, We shall never forget. As a student in Mr. Crockett's class, these two traits were firmly impressed on my mind. Mr. Crockett will long live in our hearts as one who guided us to see life in only the better way. As to Mr. Crockett's character, there could have been no finer example set before us boys and girls, as students, to follow. The first day in his class stands out in my memory. Various matters such as organization and registration were taken care of and then Mr. Crockett gave a brief talk by way of explaining the subject, the problems of the course, and the laboratory that he loved so well. And then, by way of introducing him- self, he said, I am sure that if you people, as students, will meet me half way, I will do everything in my power to meet you the other half. Mr. Crockett did live up to his word, but more than that he inspired?5his students to do also. On such occasions as this, many fine traits are recalled in the lives of a friend, but before Mr. Crockett's death many fine words came from the lips of the boys in his classes. Such appreciation stands out as an everlasting tribute to his memory. And now to me as a student Mr. Crockett stands out as a great man. The individual, the school, the community, and the city at large were benefited by the high ideals and teachings of this great man. As we now think back, Mr. Crockett stands out as a helping guide in the journey of life, and memory of him can not and will not die. .TUHN WALTZ. These past few days we have been saddened by the loss of our true friend and teacher, Mr. Crockett. As we think of him through personal association, it is good to pause to realize how widely extended were his services and good will. To teaching-his life work-Mr. Crockett gave the fullest measure of his devotion, not only because he loved the great science he knew so well, but because he loved the pupils he taught. He wanted to be your friend-he wanted his science to be your friend. But, most of all, he wished you to be his friend and the friend of his work. In teaching, Mr. Crockett saw a mission of hope and service, and gave his best effort to this cause, with sincerity and fidelity. Ever was he seeking more of truth, more of light, and the highest goal of his great work. To everyone and everything he gave his best, and gave that best with a cheery smile that endeared him to the hearts of us all. His was a short life, measured by years, but a long life, measured by accomplishments. To youth, Mr. Crockett was a true friend. In youth he placed a stead- fast faith and hope, and his greatest pleasure was to make us happy with words. of encouragement. May we honor him as he honored us, by reverencing and keeping ever before us the example of his brave and splendid life. LILLIAN PIERSON. VI I KVI XV! 'S V 'UI FYI XVI XVI R I XVI lvl WY! YY! BVI XV!

'l.11p Miller THE SENIOR PLAJY MRS. JAMES B. STEEP Senior Play Coach So This Is London RAWTHER ripping production, baw jove, and Some show, eh, Dad ? was the general ver- dict of the pleased theater fans who witnessed So This Is London, presented by the class of 1927 in the Murat Theater on April 23. The large audi- ence which practically filled the house was keyed up during the entire play by the mirth-provoking scenes of the three act comedy. So This Is Lon- don was written by Arthur Goodrich, and was produced under the direction of Mrs. J ame B. Steep. Elizabeth Rankin, as Eleanor Beauchamp, and George Lehman, as Hiram Draper, Jr., played the leading roles admirably, and proved that they were not as typical of their respective countries, Eng- land and the United States, as the father of each would picture the other. The action in the play was woven around the love affair of an English girl and an American boy whose respective families were opposed to the match merely because of their patriotism and dislike for the other's country, although neither family had met the other personally. In two comical flashbacks, the head of each house illus- trated his conception of the opposite family. The English family was depicted as slow in action, drawling of speech and disinterested in viewg the Americans were conceived as slang-slinging, coarse, presumptuous persons. Eleanor Beauchamp, daughter of Sir Percy Beauchamp, taken by Roy Rogers, fell in love with Hiram Draper, Jr., called Junior, on a boat when the latter was coming to England with Draper, Sr., taken by Paul Payne, to complete a business deal. The first act took place in the Drapers' suite at the Ritz, and the situation was disclosed. Lady Ducksworth, taken by Jeanette White, promised to arrange affairs so that they would turn out favorably. Junior displayed his business ability by giving a conclu- sive ovation to a rival business agent, concerning the impossibility of com- peting with Hiram, Sr., in the big deal. The latter also gave his amusing conception of the English family. Although further complications arose in the next two acts, Lady. Dueksworth succeded in bringing the two suspicious families together at a dinner, where all the wrinkles were ' 'oned out and the love affair was brought to a successful conclusion. 'lthers in the ctst were Mrs. Hiram Draper, Virginia Hill: A Flunky at the Ritz, Stal Reddickg Lady Beauchamp, Eula Heard 3 Alfred Honey- cutt, Th. .dger Thomas, Sir Percy's butler, Gauden Bohmeg Jen- nings, Lady cv o1:th's butler, Roger Miller.

The gymnasium was bedecked in its bib and tucker to greet the swarming guests to the Christmas party. In order to get better acquainted, each person was presented at the door with colored crescent, shield or similar object, by means of which they formed themselves in groups, to perform a stunt. A snappy program of entertainment was presented by class talent: singing and dancing acts and a playlet were staged. The impromptu stunts were joined in a cheerful spirit and were cleverly done. At the approach of Santa Claus, otherwise Mr. Roache, a hush fell on the delighted seniors. Santa's gifts caused many blushes and much merriment. Refreshments, consisting of red punch and cream colored cookies were served. Dancing concluded the party, and a happy crowd poured out of Shortridge, each person carrying a little red stocking filled with candy. THE JUNIOR VAUDEVILLE A series of clever acts full of wit, music, sing- ing and dancing held a packed house enthralled, when the junior class pro- duced its annual money mak- ing project in the auditorium on Wednesday evening, March 2. The class of 1928 produced the second vaude- ville in the history of Short- ridge before an audience of nineteen hundred persons, four hundred others were MR. HADLEY and MRS. THOMAS turned away' Elght acts Junior Class Censors. Were pI'0V1ded, In each of which about ten juniors participated. These acts played in competition, the audience selecting the favorite by voting at the close of the affair. Short- ridge Blues, directed by Malcolm Snoddy, won first prize, Audrey Pugh's act, Fishook was second: Gum Chewing IIc, Iris Hollins' act, was third. Humor and art predominated in all the acts. Lewis' Royal Enter- tainers gave popular selections during the performance. The features of the first act were dance and musical selections of interest to young and old. The Evolution of the Proposal, consisted of love scenes from cave-man times to modern methods. The Juniors' Nightmare act dis- played a school room scene, with music and dancing. Roger Dunn baffled the audience for ten minutes with strange tricks and escapes. Old school life was portrayed in The Annual Act of 1902, in Which, pictures came to life. Gum Cheming IIc was next, displaying a rather ficticious course , USIIOIITRIDGE IILUIISH WINNING STUNT AT .IUNIOII VAUDEYILLE in the modern art. The prize winning act, Shortridge Blues, consisted of a scene in a cafe which became a center of songs and dances. The last act was of vocal and instrumental music by Robert Todd and John White. The vaudeville was Well organized, with Charles Bouslog as General Chairmang William Patrick, Stage Manager, and Paul Henley, Electri- cian. Each act had a chairman and a faculty advisor. The aid of Mrsj Thomas and Mr. Hadley, class censors, was also appreciated. BASKET BALL HE BASKET BALL team started off the 1926-27 campaign with a group of mediocre players. These boys who played off'I and on during the season won 10 games and lost 11. They started off by losing to Hart- BAT'l LlNG BURTONlANS, 1926-1927. ford City, 22-18, and then came back to win from Danville, 31-24, and Elwood, 49-21. They followed these victories by 'three straight loses to Pendleton, Tech and Muncie. In a thrilling game the Blue lost to Tech, their HI'St city opponent, 29-28, but came back once more to win from Broad Ripple, 39-29, in the second city series fray. From here on they played only fair ball and in the last city contest were downed by Manual, 35-31. A rejuvenated team won the next three games and then once more lest, this time to Greencastle, holder of the victory brick. About this time Pop Burton began to train and drill his men for the coming Sectional. The Blue, rated as low as fourth, drew a tough schedule, having to meet New Augusta in the first round, and Warren Central Marion County champs, in the second round. The school somewhat encouraged by the team's gradual improvement, felt rather confident about the outcome of the elimination tournament. The Burtonians in a thrilling, overtime game won from New Augusta, 32-28. Then the Burtonians met the Warren Owls in the second battle and lost after a hard fought game to the county champs, 20-14. Thus ended the fair season for the warriors. Don Wood, Sutton, Worthington, Tom Woods, Beaman and Fox were the mainstays of the team. They had good reserve material in Orr, Kauffman, Hill and Miller.

Lafayette, There FOOTBALL 'Q ' HE FOOTBALL team of 1926 started training for a strenuous campaign of ball previous to the opening of school and practiced intensively until their opening game. Of the eleven reliables who played through most -of the games, nine of them started together and worked themselves up from the freshman to the varsity squad. Coach Alonzo Goldsberry started his proteges against the Lebanon eleven on September 24, and after a struggle they emerged victorious by a 15-0 score. As a result of the first game there loomed on the horizon a vision of a great team and as the season progressed the gridiron fans saw their visions materialize. Then, slowly but surely, the opposing elevens were all humbled by Shortridge. Seven teams in the state, Kirklin, Lebanon, Richmond, Elwood, Bloomington, Crawfordsville, and Boys' Prep, were de eated. After capturing these scalps, Coach Goldsberry drilled his men for the first game of the city series with Manual. On November 12, for the first time in many seasons, Shortridge trampled over Manual for an 18-0 victory. Hopeful of a city title, the men again settled down to work for their last hurdle, Technical. It was on the 19th of November when the team clad in Blue and White won from Tech by a score of 12-0, after a hard tussle which netted the city title for Shortridge. The Shortridge eleven scored 145 points to their opponents' 2 and played and won nine games without having their goal line crossed during the entire season. Those who received letters and sweaters were Captain Gordon Still- well, Kenneth Jeffries, Tom Woods, Joseph Kelsey, John Coshow, Kenneth Brugman. Willard Ennis, Fred Hill, Warrant Peacock, John Miller and Lewis Skinner. b 1 ,fr . FOOTBALL TEAM-CITY CHAMPS 1926. RECORD OF THE 1926 FOOTBALL TEAM Shortridge, 153 Lebanon, 0.

Shortridge won all of her scheduled track meets by defeating Greenfield, Greenwood, Warren Central, Carmel, Westfield, Southport, and Bloomington, scoring a total of 213 points. The team was a well balanced one for dual competi- tion and placed high in the large invitational meets at Greencastle and Technical. For the Hrst time in many seasons a relay team was sent to the Illinois Indoor Carnival where it placed fourth in a record-breaking mile won by the Hyde Park School of Chicago. Among the large four winners were Stillwell in the hurdles and high jumpg Wade in the 880 and broad jumpg Compton and Hayes in the dashes: W. Fox in the jumps and pole vaultg R. Fox in the shot putg Pattison in the mile: Wright and Butz in the 4403 and Brugman in the pole vault. Only a few seniors were on the track team, and 32 of the regular 40 men are left for the team nucleus next season. I COACH KUEBLER AND HIS 1927 RACQUET WIELDERS T E N N I S ECAUSE this tennis team had a bad break in the weather, it got away to a later start than usual. Another handicap was the lack of second-year men, of which there was only one, Don Wood. But even with these hindrances the boys started off with a rush by trimming the Franklin College freshmen, 5-1. Other teams were met in quick succession, among which were Boys' Prep and Technical High School, who were 4-0, and 3-3, respectively.

BATTALION N FRIDAY, May 20, the Shortridge R. O. T. C. Battalion was inspected by Lieutenant-Colonel Emmet R. Harris in front of the Library. The drill parade which preceded the inspection was viewed by the student body, which was dismissed for the occasion. The cadets participated in several parades. They took part in a parade for the dedication of the new Armory Building, and in one for the advertisement of the Citizens Military Training Camp. After the latter OFFICERS' CLUB-COMMISSIONED OFFICERS OF THE R. O. T. C. parade, a mass meeting was held at Tomlinson Hall, where Brigadier- General D. E. Aultman presented a service medal to Cadet Captain George V. Miller, those who received other medals were Beeson, Brown, Clifton, Honderich, Johns, Kauffman, Paradise, Pease, Price and Scott. There were two hundred seventy-five cadets in the local battalion during the past year, which is a little increase over last year's enrollment. Of this number, twenty-three were officers, and comprised the Officers' Club. The club brought the cadet oflicers together every two weeks for instruction in military tactics, administration, history and law. A mock court-martial was held for practical instruction and experience. Much of the great success of the battalion during the year is due to the never ending and enterprising Work of Sergeant S. E. McAdams and Cadet Major Hugh J. Socks. 'I GIRLS, ATHLETICS GIRLS' HOCKEY TEAM HESE GIRLS were on the All Star hockey team and each received the Shortridge US . They were chosen by the ability they showed during the intramural series in which four teams competed. Panoria Apostal captained the winning team. GIRLS' HOCKEY TEAM. JL' GIRLS' BASKET BALL TEAM. GIRLS' BASKET BALL TEAM HESE GIRLS won the Shortridge S by their splendid work on the All Star basket ball team. They were chosen from the league team players. Jeannette Le Saulnier's team won the series in the intramural league and Luella Schilley's team was runner-up. This year's All Star team was a top-notcher, winning 10 out of 13 games. Among the high school teams Shortridge defeated are those of Manual, Technical, Beech Grove. The All Stars also defeated the N. A. G. U., the Y. W. C. A. and the Silent Hoosiers. A volley ball series was played by the girls. The teams in this sport were organized by classes.

From this tournament four girls were chosen to represent Shortridge in a match with Technical High School. The members of the team were Muriel Adams, '28, Lillian Goldberg, '26, Margaret Bourne, ex-'27, and Mary Jane Krull, and they won 5-0. In the fall of 1926, Mary Jane Krull was winner of the tournament, with Inez Mercer, runner-up. No outside matches could be played at that time, but girls who had shown ability aside from the winners were Mar- jorie Brownlee, Carol Mayborn, Elma Ferguson and Jeannette Le Saulnier. Muriel Adams, holder of the women's city title, has met the winner of each tournament, and successfully defended her title as school champion. She undoubtedly will have a very successful tennis career. The 1927 spring tournament is now in progress, and from all indica- tions, prospects for a winning team are very bright. GIRLS' DEBATING LEAGUE The Girls' Debating League, organized about four years ago, has grown rapidly during the last year in membership and importance. Its enrollment, popularity, enthusiasm and success is now attracting not a little notice among the other school activities. For the Hrst time in the history of the organization, the league scheduled a debate with another school, Bedford High School. To make a GIRLS' DEBATING LEAGUE. BOYS' Dl+Il3A'l'lNG LEAGU IG. good preccdent for coming teams, this year's team, composed of Valentia Meng, Mary Alice Sheffel, Ruth Marie Price and Thelma Porter, alternate, defeated the Bedford team by a 2-1 judges' decision, on the question of a national department of education. The oflicers for the fall and spring semesters, respectively, were: Valentia Meng, Ruth King, Mary Alice Sheffelg Ruth Marie Price, Iris Hollins and Edna Schardt. BOYS' DEBATING LEAGUE HE BOYS' DEBATING LEAGUE enjoyed a most successful year under the able guidance of Mr. Otto. The membership during the first semester surpassed thirty, the highest enrollment in the history of the organization. Due to this unusually large number, Mr. Otto introduced a new plan of tournament. Wilde and Wright won on the questions of capital punishment and federal department of education. The question for the second term was on the independence of the Philippines. The membership exceeded twenty, many of whom were under- classmen, making prospects bright for a live-wire league and good team next year. The officers for the fall term were Norris Houghton, Charles Boswell, and James Otto. Those for the spring term were Russell Townsend, Abraham Letiff and Edward Wright. as . TRI-STATE DEBATE HE ANNUAL Tri-State Debate was held in Caleb Mills Hall, on Friday evening, April 15. The Shortridge negative team, composed of Harold Lewis, Norris Houghton, captain, Albert Levi and Charles Bouslog, alternate, was host to the Cincinnati aiiirmative team. The question was, Resolved, That a Federal Department of Education as Proposed in the Curtiss-Reed Bill, with a Secretary in the President's Cabinet, Should be Established. The decision of the interesting and spirited discussion favored Shortridge by the vote of two to one. On the same day the affirmative team representing Shortridge traveled to Louisville and lost a close contest to the Male High by a vote of one to two. The boys composing this team were John Forney, Maurice Feuerlicht, captain 3 Harold E. Wright and James Otto, alternate. Louisville won both debates this year and thus evened the number of victories and defeats for the three contesting schools. Consequently, Shortridge, with five members of the year's teams available for next year and with much promising material in the Debating Club, has an excellent opportunity to win the five year cup. The boys are coached by Mr. William N. Otto, sponsor of the Debating Club and Head of the English Department. The clear logic and polished delivery which they exhibited in the contests revealed the superior ability of their coach and the excellent preparation of the contestants. TRI-STATE DEBATE TEAIXIS.

THE MATHEMATICS CLUB HE MATH CLUB is composed of those persons who are interested in a further study of mathematics than that which is offered in the class room. The club has enjoyed a most profitable year by including the study and history of math and the story and science of astronomy. The program of the 1926 semester embraced the subject of astronomy. This semester a discussion of various problems, such as the value of Pi, the origin and principle of logarithms has been carried on. A special project was executed by the club to find the dimensions for MATHEMATICS CLUB. a perfectly cut diamond, a problem which never before had been solved. Original formulae were worked out and the measurements for the cutting of diamonds from one one-hundreth karat to two karats obtained.

The oflicers of the club are Harold Warren, president, Claribel Hacker, vice-presidentg Dorothy Tucker, secretary, Enos Troyer, treasurer, Hen- rietta Murray, chairman of program committee. TRUE BLUE CLUB ERVICE has been the keynote of the projects that the True Blue Club has undertaken during the past year. This was first shown last September when the freshmen and out of town girls were shown around Shortridge, by the big sisters, and were helped to get acquainted. A get-together party was held for them. Another party for the newcomers was held in February. Two important features of the year were the recognizent banquetsg one for the football team in November, and another for the basket ball and debating teams in May. Felix cats, designed by Tom Long, were printed, and sold by the club members. The proceeds were given to the Crockett Memorial Fund. The Girls' Forum, a friendship organization to look after the out-of- towners, is one of the latest departments to be organized. Mrs. Thompson is sponsor of the True Blue Clubg officers and committee heads are, Agnes Ball, Claribel Hacker, Mary Whitmyre, Jane Wells, Marian Fisher, Iris Hollins and Myrtle Moten. , ECHO EDITORS.

NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY LECTION to the Shortridge chapter of the National Honor Society is one of the greatest honors which may be conferred upon a student of our school, as elections are based upon character, scholarship, leadership, and service. The society is composed of about seventy members of the senior class, of Whom fourteen were chosen in their junior year. During the fall semester, the small group attended Ben Hur, and later enjoyed a bridge party at the home of Lucille Wade. During spring, the completed group held several social gatherings. The result of the election in April was: Wendell Shullenberger, presi- dent, Nellie Sielken, vice-president, Ava Louise Reddick, secretary, Wil- lard Smith, treasurer. The local society holds the twenty-third national charter issued, show- ing that Shortridge was one of the first schools to adopt this means of conferring honor upon those who uphold her traditions and bring honor to her name.

One of the features of the year was the talk by Kate Milner Rabb, noted author, on the finding and developing of plots.

In this body, bills and resolutions are spoken and voted on. Elections and special features are also a part of the organization's program.

THE SATURNALIA HE SATURNALIA, a gay pagan festival observed by the Romans, was celebrated by the Roman State in December. Hundreds of Roman citizens arrayed in bright carnival costumes formed a magnincent parade, that was led by trumpeters and drummers, through the halls to the Corso Qauditoriuml. On the platform draped in rich hangings, the king and queen, sur- rounded by attendants, were seated on a dais. The pagan part oi' the program consisted of skillful fencing, dancing, bareback riding and magic tricks. A thrilling chariot race around the auditorium made a fitting climax for this exciting celebration. During an intermission refreshnients were served and the king and queen presented worthy awards to the winners oi' the various events. A beautiful Christian observance oi' Christmas completed the program. After the Christmas story was read, a representation of Corregio's Holy Night was shown while an unseen choir sang Silent Night. ROMAN STATE OFFICERS, 11' ' LE CERCLE FRANCAIS. LE CERCLE FRANCAIS HE SHORTRIDGE FRENCH CLUB, in spite of the fact that it is a comparatively new organization, has proved to be very successful and is rapidly growing. The club was started a year and a half ago by Mrs. Gertrude M. Weath- crs, for the benefit of French students interested in phases of the subject not generally given in the regular course of study. Since that time it has gained a reputation as being both exclusive and active. Eligibility into the club requires a high average in the subject, and no new members are received after the first three meetings of the year. During the past year, the French Club has sponsored an exhibit of articles of French interest on the landing of the old building and parti- cipated in the exhibits given at the Indiana Teachers' Convention. Several meetings were open to visitors, featuring illustrated lectures and other matters of French interest. Officers are elected every semester, and those who have held the posi- tions this last semester are, Mary Jane Woolsey, president: Maxine Gard- ner, vice-presidentg Rosemary Bretzman, secretary, and Marion Jenckes, treasurer. is PHYSIOGRAPHY CLUB. PHYSIOGRAPI-IY CLUB HE AIM of the Physiography Club is to interest members in the study of the physiographical side of nature by means of interesting hikes and additional talks that the classroom is not able to provide.

At one meet- ing a physiography cross-word puzzle was solved. The officers for the first semester were Ruth Marie Price, Dvera Cohen and Jean Underwood.
