R5 l COOPERATION VER a period of four years the class of nineteen hundred and thirty-one has been a part of Short- ' X ridge. During this time we have experienced s ,,,.,,,, some of the happiest days of our lives. We will if ever treasure in our memories each lesson mas- ,V 5 f,. Q A M tered, each friend gained, each teacher whom we P' V- have come to know. 1 Our class is unified in spirit. We are bound to ,TA 'i each other by loyalty to the same school, by our Q contacts in the classroom, and by common in- 5 terests and ideals. These relations have fostered .i j 'fa 1 a fine spirit of cooperation. Working together, ,A we have come to know and appreciate each other. Af Paramount among the products of our coop- 'def eration is the Annual, our class record. After months of earnest effort, persevering in spite of many discouragements, We have created this book. It is both a history of our class achievement and a monument to our spirit of cooperation. Valuable assistance in the production of the Annual has been given by the faculty as a whole. Mr. William N. Otto, as guiding genius, has given unsparingly of his time, energy, and knowledge. The Annual staff is deeply indebted to Miss Katharine Allen for her untiring devotion as literary sponsor. With equal diligence Miss Essie Long and the art de- partment have utilized their abilities in making the Annual a thing of beauty. Mr. H. H. Siemers and Mr. Robert C. Grubbs of the physics de- partment have rendered invaluable service in furnishing photographs. The printing of the book has been ably handled by Mr. O. A. Miller and his assistants. Mr. George M. Crossland deserves credit for his able man- agement of finances. The senior class wishes to express its appreciation to these faculty sponsors for their helpful cooperation in the production of this book. Probably most gratifying, however, is the loyal and enthusiastic sup- port accorded the Annual by the student body and friends of the school. Their faith in subscribing for the book before it had progressed beyond the initial stages is indeed gratifying. It is, therefore, with mixed emotions of appreciation and pride that we of the Annual staff present this book as an outstanding example of the cooperation and accomplishment of our class and the school. -James Henry Prescott, Editor NO IMPRINT? MARTHA ROSE SCOTT HE shadows of night slipped slowly between the boughs of the great elms and sycamores. The fast fading light laid a hush over the world and muffled the noises of the day. Only the cadent sounds peculiar to the reign of darkness broke the quiet. As the soft penetrating whoo-oo of the owl, the deep, throaty croaking of the sleepy frogs in the near-by stream, and the monotonous arguments of the katydids ushered in the night- 'fb 1 fall, a dusky moth, that silent, mystic creature of , the dark, brushed past me as I leaned against the garden wall, where the dew hung heavily on the ivy that clambered over it. The quiet mel- ancholy of the lonely hour fitted my dreamy I'I100d. Today had been just another school day, I thought, but oh! how few of those days remained. I was approaching the time of graduation, and I indulged in the delightful but pensive pastime of reminiscing. One by one, I reflected on the pleasant experiences of my high school days. At once I recalled the enthusiastic pep meetings, the spectacular games, the countless thrills of our brilliant victories, and the jubilant cele- brations. The gay school parties, the vaudevilles, the senior plays, and the other entertainments flashed through my mind. Success- ively I reviewed these outstanding events of our high school life, and they were enriched by my own personal memories of them. Four happy years had been spent enjoying the friendships of classmates and teachers, and the delightful environment individual to Shortridge. What great years they had been! Just now, as they were drawing to a close, I felt keenly what pleasure I had found in them and what deep feeling I had for the school in which they had passed so swiftly. I la- mented that these days were so soon to cease. I realized that I was to break cords that linked themselves tightly about the traditions, the cus- toms, and the associations of my high school days. I apppreciated all of its meaning now, when I was about to leave. We should all leave and like meteors should fall into spots widely distant. The old groups of comrades, the gay banter of the lunchroom and the press room gatherings would never be renewed. What would be the fate of each one in his newly chosen surroundings? As I mused on our varied destinies, I gazed thoughtfully into the sky, which was now sparkling with the light of many stars. Stray clouds were drifting over the Milky Way, and the Great Dipper and the large round moon stood out plainly in the inky sky. I stared at the opalescent sphere until the shifting shreds of clouds made it appear to be turning around like a magic crystal. At once, I became a crystal-gazer in the giant silver moon, trying to divine the uncertain future. What did it hold for us? All about me lay the thinking, planning, pulsating world. It did not know that the class of thirty-one was about to graduate. It was not aware that over five hundred students were to be thrust out upon it. Would we impress it? Could we leap ahead and pro- duce material creations more nearly perfect than those before us? Would we create finer influences to advance the wor1d's civilization or would we be mere shadows-mere figures that clicked our heels on its surface, leaving no imprint? Scanning the sky-hung crystals, I dreamed of the modern achieving C M NO IMPRINT? world and tried to forsee our chances among its milling crowds. Suddenly a great monoplane nosed out of the moonlight. For a moment it poised, stamped on the circle of the moon, its broad black wings silhouetted against the clear white background of the bright orb. What a symbol of success! The strangely apparent omen thrilled me, and I stood listening to the steady drone of the plane, as it slid again into the black night as swiftly as it had come. The moon alone looked down upon me. Then suddenly it drew a wispy cloud across its face. Similarly the unknown future of the class of thirty-one was veiled and hidden from me. To An Evening Primrose The King of Light has sunk into the west, The dusk of evening hides my garden wallg There against its cool and mossy breast Grows my evening primrose, slim and tall. She has not bloomed today, ah timid flower, She Waits till Luna flings her silver sailg And now behold, by some deep unseen power Unfolds a soul of fragile beauty pale. O flower, your dress reflects the yellow moon, Your stamens long are stars that twinkle bright, Your beauty is too frail, for all too soon You droop your head, you will but last the night. When I shall rise at morn, at sun's first beam You will be gone, all faded like a dream. -Barbara Baumgartnef SALT MARSHES For miles and miles their level floors extend, A broad expanse of glowing green and gold gl A sea of Waving grass which never tires A nature lover's eyes. He looks upon The marshes' bosom broad, more changeful than the restless sea And takes its radiant beauty to his heart. The marsh is veined with channels serpentine, Reflecting back the brilliant blue of skiesg Above these sedge-grown aisles and pools The stately heron flaps his course, or stalks Sedately in his chosen hauntsg The screaming terns float in o'er distant, glistening dunes: The bittern booms and pumps. The tide comes in- The marsh grass floats and waves where islets stood betoreg The Wand'ring creeks grow large and overflow. Take you your mountains and your sea- Glve me my vast salt marshes, green and gold. -Mark W. Pangborn, Jr NIGHT The long day draws to a closeg Stars, one by one, Appear in the darkening sky: A gray crane iiaps its wings And nies off Over the marsh. From the ocean a soft wind Whispers through the pinesg Maj estically The moon rises over the ocean A silver disk Sailing toward the dawn. Night. It is night in the south land. -Betty Meyers. 1 A MOONLIGHT SAIL JOHN FENSTERMAKER WO hours had passed since the sun, a ruddy orange disc of fire, had cast its last warm rays upon the lake, which was now as smooth as a mirror, ex- cept for ripplings here and there, ripplings caused by a slight breath of wind, which brushed against the surface as a mother touches her sleeping child with a gentle, goodnight kiss. The day had been a hot one, and the water still re- tained about it a blanket of delightfully gentle warmth, which was occasionally broken by a cool, refreshing puff of land breeze. The canvas of the sloop was set, and a mild but steady breeze would soon fill the sails, now flapping futilely in the fitful gusts of Wind. Sud- denly someone shouted, Push off! I cast the painter from the pier hurriedly, for coming to- ward us over the water, which shone blacker than the blackest ink, was a host of small ripples which betokened the approach of a sailing breeze. For a time there Was much commotion on board the sloop-laughter and loud voices intermingled. When We were under way, the frivolity became gradually subdued and then hushed. Nothing could be heard but the gentle lapping of the Waves against the bow. At times the sound became almost a continual ripple, broken by an occasional, momen- tary lull. Here and there a loud splash was heard as a bass leapt far out of the Water and fell back with a resounding smack. The moon, shining in a cloudless heaven, sent forth a pale, silvery illumination which cut a path across the water, but which failed to penetrate those dark depths and seemed only to enhance the impenetrability of that jet- black mirror. I glanced at my companions. All seemed to be preoccupied and in a deep revery. I did not need to seek far for the channel through which thoughts Were guiding them. The scene about us was inspiring and seemed to turn our minds toward retrospection. On the port side, against a faint, dark shoreline a few dim lights ,, , J rv M A MOONLIGHT SAIL showed the position of a small, sleepy town, which had retired long ago, and now lay like an infant on the shore of the protecting lake. As the sloop neared the town, the wind changed its course a bit. Owing to this fact and the lateness of the hour, we came about and started home- ward. The moon was now gone. Water and sky met and seemed to merge, leaving a blurred line as the only sign of intersection. The wind had become cooler but was not so strong as it had been, and our progress was much slower. As we neared the familiar inlet, the wind slowed to a breeze and within the bay the breeze became hardly noticeable. With the dying of the wind, everything about the sloop became drowsy. There were none of the cus- tomary noises which one hears when a sailing vessel is in motion. The creaking of the mast, the rattle and squeaking protests of the pulleys, the hum of the bilgeboards, all were silent and as if this cast its shade upon them, the members of the sailing party were hushed and talked ln subdued voices. The sloop was soon made ready for the night and anchored at its buoy. In groups the party dispersed, the sound of their steps on the board walk ringing clear over the water. I remained, seated on the end of the pier, listening to the resounding echoes of the steps of the departing sailing party. Soon all was silent save the gentle lapping of the water against the sides of the anchored sloop. Possessed with a deep feeling of content, I hoped that life would always be like this. I wondered. Suddenly, into my revery broke the realization that while I lingered, another day was approaching, and I arose to go. However, it seemed as if I took with me some of the solem- nity and inspiration with which the great out-of-doors must inspire those whose joy it is to live and work in the great open spaces. Lava It crept and seethed, Rolled in and out, It was ill at ease, It was all about. Alive, it seemed, This menacing mass, A glowering fiend Grasping all in its clasp. It slowly surged, Boiling and burning, It hissed a dirge While milling, churning. It sang of fate, Laughed at creation, And left in its wake Complete desolation. -Marcella Moore A SERMON IN GREEN BETTY DAVENPORT OVELY, dark blue leaf shadows, tracing a delicate ever-changing pattern on the blackboard and walls, bowls of gaily-tinted flowers, and green ferns in shaggy brown bark boxes on a shelf run- ning along two sides of the long room-that's 218, our botany room. Looking across the room and , through the glass, for one whole side of the room , is made up entirely of windows, you can catch an alluring glimpse of green plants. You walk down the wide aisles between brown and green movable desks, up three steps, and through the high French doors which open into the green- house. Once there, it is hard to decide where next to go, for all along the bench, which extends the entire length of the greenhouse, is an attractive array of leafy plants, each of which arouses your interest. Everywhere you look, you see them: cheerful little yellow ilowers, begonias shading from rose to pale pink, sturdy geraniums, their brilliant red blossoms openly courting your attention, and the more delicate rose-geraniurn, with its dainty fern-like leaves. Half-way down the bench is a glass box, full of interesting little mosses, liverworts, and lichensg and above it, a hanging basket, trailing its long strands of ivy across a cyclamen plant, whose blossom, an ex- quisite deep rose one, is just unfolding. A square at one end is given over to a group of cacti-the untouchables of plant life. Woe be to any inquisitive linger that goes poking around their sharp thorns and bristles. There's another look but not touch plant on that bench, too, for there are two or three pots of sensitive plants which, at your slightest M H 0 il j:, .ig9fgTl'lf.l , -- ' i' ra-V ' A' ' 'fl EX gf rl 'Q0J.'f-F24 ' il I I .1-0' 'F :lv Wi.

And if you like little things, you are sure to be captivated by the dishes of soft baby's tears you will find, almost hid- den by the tradescantia, which scrambles all over the bench, wherever it can get its roots into the warm sand. If you have any appreciation at all for lovely things, then you can't help enjoying-our greenhouse and each of its plants-from the tiniest green seed-leaves to the big coarse rubber plant with its great flat leaves. If you have a class in this room, you are indeed fortunate, for, no matter what the weather outside may be, it's always summer in 218, and forty minutes spent there provides a pleasant and restful break in the even tenor of an ordinary school day. PUSSESSIONS I have always thought of possessions as cherished blessings, which in- clude material as well as spiritual things. The most cherished of my possessions are gifts which cannot be taken from meg such as, a sense of humor, a love of music, the delight of drawing, and the enjoyment of spring and fall. I cannot explain why these things appeal to me so strongly, perhaps it is my innate desire for the beautiful things in life, and yet it may be environment. Nevertheless, they are my blessings, and money cannot buy them. It would take pages to list all of my treasures, things which would mean very little to an outsider, yet they mean a great deal to me. Many of these possessions can be found in my room 5 namely, a picture of my mother when she was sixteen, done in pastels, and several pieces of delicate china, hand-painted by my grandmother. Then there are my two adorable white statues of Venus and Diana, some lovely jewelry which was my grandmothers, my beautifully illustrated English maga- zines, and my own efforts to be an artist. Of course, each of the above could be enlarged upon, but I think I should continue. There are my feather-bed, with its downy pillows, the soft pink lights, and the sway- ing pink curtains. My room on the third floor faces west, and drinks in all the exuberant beauty of the sunsets and catches the sun's exquisite color in the shadowy corners at evening. Fascinating little breezes skip and dance merrily from one object to the next, ruflling the covers of the bed, pushing the curtains back, and whispering gently in my ears till soothing sleep overpowers me. Of all my priceless possessions, the most loved ones are my family and home. Sympathy, understanding, gayety, sorrow, arguments, and connected and disconnected repartee are all melted into one un- fathomable family, not perfect by any means, but, oh, so delightful. Is it any wonder that I care so little about going where the atmosphere bends to sororities, clothes, or rating ? Sometimes I feel that I have too many possessions for my own good, nevertheless, I should not care to give up any of them, and, Heaven knows, I am most thankful for them all. -Barbara Hagen SW3.ll'l BORDERLAND SKETCHES LEON FRISCH MY NATIVE TOWN HOUSANDS of miles from the shores of America, in south-eastern Europe, where Poland, Russia, and Roumania meet, is located a little village, named Zaleszczyki, This peaceful-looking town is enclosed on all sides by mountains, and on three sides by the beautiful meandering Dniester River. Zaleszczyki is inhabited by a very peace- loving people, most of whom have never traveled farther than fifty or sixty miles from the town. It was in this village that I was born and spent the first twelve years of my life. Although I have lived in America almost five years, I can still picture the town and remember the many incidents that took place there. THE MARKET PLACE . In the heart of Zaleszczyki is the market place. In the center of the market place are two rows of stands, and at each side a large open square, where the horses, cattle, and sheep, which are to be sold, are herded. At the stands are sold bread, meat, fish, and all other kinds of food. What a place it is! One can hear a dozen languages spoken on the streets. Here one sees Ukrainian peasants selling merchandise, Ger- mans, Russians, Poles, and a few Roumanians. The peasants are clothed in white trousers and heavy white shirts, hanging to their knees. Mingling with the crowd are dogs and other domestic animals. Many children are playing about the streets, and usually two or three in- sane or intoxicated persons are seen Wandering about. Quite often a horse runs wild, and then the whole market place is in turmoil until the animal is captured. With the singing of the blind women, the yelling of the bakers, and now and then, the howling of a dog which has been caught by the dog-catcher, it would indeed seem a strange place to an American. THE RUSSIAN WAY Although it had only been two or three weeks since Vladimir, a former resident of Zaleszczyki, Poland, had returned to his home town from a visit in America, everyone was talking about his exhibitions in boxing. The people of this town had never seen anyone fight in the American style, so when Vladimir, a tall, skinny man, returned and showed some of the strong boys how to box, he soon frightened them. As some of his friends worked in our bakery, he often used to be there. One day while Vladimir was showing some of the men how to box, one of them asked him, in a joke, to show Ivan, our stoker. Vladi- mir took it seriously, and started to show the husky Ukrainian peas- ant how to box. First, the American hit the Ukrainian with a left to the stomach, then with a right to the jaw, and said, Te po Americanskuf' CThat is the American style.D This angered Ivan. With a full swing, he hit the American on the side of his head, dropping him to the ground with terrific force, and BORDERLAND SKETCHES said, Te po Russkuf' CThat is the Russian sty1e.J Vladimir did not recover from the blow for half an hour. Since then he has never shown anybody how to fight in the American way. I THANK YOU More known that any other person in Russia was Petro, the Horse Thief, of Vyadka, who was known all over Russia for his skill in stealing. Petro, whose last name no one knew, spent about half of his time in Vyadka because it was a great market place for horses. He was often seen down-town in Vyadka riding slowly on his black Arabian horse. He usually wore a fur hat and a short overcoat, with a whip suspended from his belt on the right side. All the rich people who saw him, greeted him-not because they liked him, but because they knew that if they didn't say something to him they would soon find some of their horses gone. Petro was always invited to weddings and parties because people wanted to be on good terms with him. Many villages in Russia paid him money annually so that he would stay out of their properties. Yet, as bad as he was, he was arrested only once in his life. That was when he stole horses from the mayor's manor in Vyadka. Petro was immediately accused of the deed, for the mayor knew that no one else would dare to enter his premises. Twelve men land men they werelj were sent to get Petro. After a long struggle, in which most of the mayor's men were wounded, Petro was finally brought to the mayor, who was granted the right to judge the thief. The mayor, however, liked the courage and boldness of the thief, so he sentenced him to only one year in Siberia, where criminals from all over Russia were sent. The mayor also begged Petro to change his habits, after he should be released. A little over a year had passed when the mayor received a letter from Petro. Hoping that Petro wrote to him regarding his change of morals, the mayor opened the letter. It read: I thank you very much for sending me to Siberia, for I have learned from the other prisoners many new tricks in stealing. AN OCCUPIED TOWN The following incident happened about ten years ago, a short per- iod in history, but to me, a long time. I sometimes wonder whether it really happened or whether I merely dreamed about it. BORDERLAND SKETCHES The town of Zaleszczyki was one of the places involved in the Rus- sian-Polish boundary dispute of 1920. One hot summer night, as our family was sitting on our steps chat- ting to our neighbors, we were suddenly aroused by flames rising high towards the sky in the location of the business section. We childen were at once put to bed, and the older members of the family proceeded to go down-town to flnd out what had happened. They were not able to see much, as soldiers kept them back, but they heard that the Russians had taken the town, having driven out the Polish troops. The next morning the streets were full of innumerable soldiers. Their high fur hats, with beautiful bands hanging down from the back, and their long, black coats with whips extending from the side, proclaimed them Russians. What a sight they began to make out of this peaceful town! All the surrounding mountains and rivers seemed to tremble when the soldiers herded through the streets, laying about them with their naheikas Cwhipsl. These consisted of long narrow strips of leather, tipped with pieces of lead. Woe to anything living that came in contact with these whips! It was as if one were burned or cut when one was struck by these loaded weapons. Everywhere in the business section, smoke was still rising from the burned buildings. In the residential sections, on the smoking ruins of houses, were set up huge kettles, from which the Russians served free tea to the soldiers and also to the public. By this time, the crying of the people had been quieted, and all that could be heard was the clatter of the horses' hoofs and the hilarious singing of the soldiers. This con- tinued all day. At night, the soldiers began to go about to the houses and call for wudka fwhiskyj. Early the next morning, a group came to our bakery and ordered my grandmother to bake bread for them. She did so, but when she asked to be paid, they threatened her life. Next, the soldiers took away the people's clothing, except that which they wore, and burned it in an incinerator. Millionaire and poor man, alike, were forced to sweep the dusty unpaved streets. Anybody who resisted giving his money to the soldiers was whipped, or, as happened in many cases, was killed. The people were helpless. It seemed as if the Russians would con- tinue to hold the town under their control. In about two weeks, how- ever, the Polish troops succeeded in r-ecapturing the town.

There's adventure on the highway Where the traffic hums and roars, But there's romance on the by-way And the best of out of doors. Oh, the white glare of the high road Stretches far from sea to seag But the rose-embowered by-road Grips and holds the heart of me. I love the blessed silence Where the racket is unknown, Where the stillness is unbroken Save for bees' calm, steady drone. And where you least expect it Is a bend, and growing tall The creamy, plumy alder lifts Its lacy parasol. There's adventure on the highway Where the traffic hums and roars, But there's romance on the by-way And the best of out of doors. -Marian Dorthy Laut MEMORIES OF OLD SHORTRIDGE r C . .fi CHARLENE HEARD it 4 g LD Shortridge!-What memories of our freshman days do the old vine-covered buildings recall to us-we who are the last class that remembers being a part of it, and can call to mind the hallways and dilapidated class- rooms that made up the old and new buildings. How strange the crowds of students seemed to us, who first began our high school life there! It was so hard to find our rooms on the first few days! It was more puz- zling than ever to the Harrison group, who were so exclusively alone during the morning, and who were plunged into the be- wildering chaos of the real Short- ridge during the afternoon. How -Q - 1 familiar the rest of the students seemed to be with all its be- loved crannies and nooks, and soon we, too, strode about with more assurance. We grew to know the auditorium, the mammoth old study hall, the bridge, the old stair- case, the lunch room, and even the dingy press room. A few of us can remember the cubby hole and its traditions. Gradually we became conscious of a growing love and loyalty for these new surroundings. Let us go back today into the small old building, into the wide hall from which the lovely stairway rose. To the right was the old book ex- change, with two small windows, where the floor-boards were worn into great curves from the impatient feet that had stood in line there. Nearby was the sloping corridor, which led to the baffling annex, where more great, spacious rooms were located. They looked out on the alley, where screeching, noisy trucks often interrupted a Weary class. Now you can almost hear the stamping feet that dashed out at the sound of the bell. Arm in arm, four and six abreast, they crowded up the picturesque old stairway, at the top of which stood the old grand- father clock, as well as the trophy case. At the head of the next flight was the popular old study hall. Row after row of desks stretched from side to side. Great, wide Windows looked out on all the sur- rounding landmarks and down into the court. Before class, the base- ment window sills were crowded with boys sitting on them, or stand- ing about discussing the coming football game. What a promenade it was between classes! Here, also, were parked the cars of the faculty. It was a different picture on snowy or rainy days-then indeed was the bridge o' sighs a crowded thoroughfare! This narrow passage from the old building to the new one was such a historical place and so novel to us. In the new addition, which had now grown as seasoned and ancient as the old one, was located the gym and the lunch room. Crowds of students dashed down every day to wait in line until they reached the U-shaped steam-tables, and who of you has not been tempted by one of the great, brown rolls, filled with white cream? There was always a MEMORIES OF OLD SHORTRIDGE scramble to find chairs to place around the long, bare tables. Many of us, even freshmen, were allowed to eat elsewhere and what experiences we can recall of those places! Here also was the original Caleb Mills Hall, a place used for study, entertainment, and conversation. Here, first of all, we were wel- comed to Shortridge. This was the starting point of our high school career, which has now drawn to a close. To this place the Harrison freshies marched to auditorium. They were thrilled by the pep meet- ings and stimulated to attend the games and root for the school heroes. On the same stage we saw our first Junior Vaudeville. And who among you has not tried to count the lights in its great dome? Early arrivals always sought the auditorium, where pedagogical guards placed each pupil inconveniently two seats apart. However, more liberty was en- joyed at lunchtime when everyone sought seats nearest his best friends -or friend. Here the football stars have autographed many a ticket. Will we let the memory of those huge lockers which were such a problem during the first days slip from us? Now it hardly seems possible that at one time we could manage to share a locker with so many others. Can't you just see those spacious wooden cavities with the black and white paper labels stating the hour of locking and unlocking? There it was that we met our friends before classes as we gathered to jam our wraps into those dark depths. Our last memory of the old Shortridge might be considered the last auditorium exercise that was held. Then Mr. Buck told us of the new building, its arrangement, and the lovely new furnishings which were to be treated with care and not to be marred. All during the talk a clat- ter of the seat numbers could be heard dropping from the hands of some eager students, who were trying to secure a keep-sake of the old school. As a final ceremony, two boys stood at either side of the stage, one with the American flag, the other with the Shortridge flag, while the student body sang the Shortridge song. This, indeed, was a dramatic close for a dramatic year. Even then Wrecking was going on around us, and gradually the great Wrecker reached across to tear out the bricks of the old build- ing. Now as We ride past, the black, bleak windows of the empty new building look hauntingly at us. We are the last class who, as a whole, have cherished memories of those old buildings, and who understand the traditions and feelings that center about the Old Shortridge. SETH THOMAS Tick, tock, tick, tock, Sings the old Seth Thomas clock, Closed with door of frosted glass Rich in memories of the past. Tick, tock, tick, tock, Sings the old Seth Thomas clock, Burnished pendulum of gold Swings out tales of days of old. -Gerelda Landreth SPRING WOODS IN APRIL SPRING I love to think of spring as something new, A time of gentle rains and tender tunes, Of tall trees, lifting green arms wet with dew, Or swishing skirts of snowy apple blooms In answer to a breeze that softly croons Of moonlight on a bed of daffodils, Of mating birds, and promises of June. And, though I shut my eyes, my whole soul thrills To think of summer waiting, unseen, in the hills. -Esther Hoover Q Wooos IN APRIL I visited the April woods one day, And there I saw such lovely signs of spring, I felt 'twas Nature's sweet assuring way Of showing men that death has lost its sting. From every branch birds' voices sing The glad rejuvenation of the treesg Wild plums, o'er all, their precious perfume fling, Through branches comes a fragrant, playful breeze, The ground lies carpeted with wild anemones. -Mary Vance Trent THE PIECE AND THE PAWN CHARLES HAGEDON l Losiwdots HE clock struck ten. Professor Mastro- van Was still bent over his chess table in the library. He was working indefatigably over a chess problem. It was one that seem- ingly fascinated him, but yet one whose perfect solution had so far eluded him. The one move that stood between his- mas- tery of a perplexing situation of pieces was just beyond his reach, now so near and yet, ever so distant. The room, which was lined with row upon row of shelves towering toward a lofty ceiling, had become slightly close and stuffy. Despite the cool dampness of the atmos- phere outside and the largeness of the room, there would have greeted one, should anyone have come into the room, a strange odor. It was a thick, heavy odor, a min- gling of smouldering fire, which had been laid in the fireplace some hours back, of the smell of stale pipe smoke, and the steam of strong coffee. All of these were mater- ially helping in the solution of the puzzle. It was no ordinary problem. It had involved days of study and careful, patient work. Still the thing was unsolved. The professor would keep this up until he had mastered it and then would start another. His chess was his life. A man of independent position and letters, his game had become his one love, his passion, and his vice. His only friends were his club fel- lows and his servants, other society than this he shunned. Mastrovan was rapidly be- coming a soul apart, a man with one reign- ing ambition, a man whose system of nerves was reaching a precarious position. The last echo of the eleventh chime had died away, and all was still except for the wind moaning and the rain pattering around the gables of the old Tudor house. Without, there was the rhythmic clanking of an old iron gate, forced to and fro by the mys- terious wind. In the great library, the fire had sunk in blackness, and even the electric globe in the lamp by the chess table gave off a lesser radiancyg the room seemed smaller. The shadows had aggressed from the black stillness of their corners, creat- ing an even darker stigma upon the room. Mastrovan sat stooped in his chair. His hand was placed over his eyes, possibly to shade and rest them. Perhaps he had fall- en asleep. There was no sound in the great THE PIECE AND THE PAWN roomg no sound except for the hissing emission of air from the professor's nostrils, and the motonous ticking of the tall hour clock. Outside, the rain pattered on the large panes, the Wind blew, and the gate clankedg rhythmic, endless, clank-clank-clank ..... Chiming three, the clock awoke Professor Mastrovan. He started and looked around him. All was inky blackness but for the huge window which shone smudgy grey through the large regular diamond panes. The lights had been put out, possibly by the storm which had now settled into a steady, hard rain. The professor fumbled for a match and, finding one, rose and lighted a candle. The flame sputtered, then grew tall and full. Instantly there leaped upon the wall a thousand apparltions of unholy form, flitting here and there among the crannies and the corners, as the flame moved toward the door. The chessmen cast ever- lengthening shadows across their board, and from the disordered midst didst seem to rise the king and say, I am the State! The door closed and once more the library was plunged into darkness. Mastrovan walked through the hall and to the foot of the stair- case, where he stopped for a moment. Just as he started to mount the first stair, he stopped dead still. Like a flash it had come to him! He had solved the most difficult problem on which he had ever worked. From it he could develop a plan of playing that would make him master in the world of chess! Turning, he Walked briskly back into the library. He sat down in front of his chess table and made a notation of the move on the board. Simultaneously with this motion, the chessboard with its men was blotted from the view of the professor by a cloud of green smoke, which gradually grew denser! The chessmen seemed to grow taller and taller. Their heads emerged from the top of the dense en- veloping vapor, the awful green cloud. They grew taller-taller-taller! Mastrovan found himself in a gigantic hall. The ceiling towered far-far --far above his head. It was supported by endless columns which, on second glance, proved to be endless, elongated chessmen. The vast- ness of the hall was appalling. It was paved with immense black and white marble blocks in checkerboard style. The atmosphere was heavy. To Mastrovan it grew unbearable, the silence was crushing. The whole huge hall was resting on his shoulders. The pressure made the flow df blood in his veins almost stop. His head was about to split! The whole thing seemed so purposeless. He ran, seemingly for days, but when he stopped, he was strangely at the same spot whence he had started. It was torture! There was nothing silent about the place now. It had become, suddenly, a bedlam. The professor could not determine the source of the din. It was terrifying! From nowhere there appeared before the professor two knights clad in purple armor, each of them topped with an astounding red plume. They chanted in unison, Will you come with us? You shall come with us! You are coming! Now! Away! At that moment, the whole unbelievable hall was crushed. He was in the midst of an infernal chaos, but in this chaos there was no sound, no color-only blackness ..... and pain. When the butler came into the library, next morning, he was not greatly surprised to find Mastrovan sitting in his chair before the chess table with an expression of horror fixed on his countenance. The body was cold, rigid, lifeless. For several weeks after Mastrovan's death, his house was closed. One night three men might have been observed entering the house of the late Professor Mastrovan. From the street, their identity might hardly have been discerned, so closely were they wrapped in defense of the fog which lay heavy and low outside. Once on the inside, they disrobed, the thick fog filtering from the folds of their clothing like THE PIECE AND THE PAWN wisps of smoke. One of the men was the butler who had worked there before the house had been closed. The other two were lawyers who had come with the butler to go into the personal effects of the late professor. The butler laid a fire in the library and left the two lawyers in front of it, going through a chest of papers. One of them came upon a box containing the chessmen of the late master of that game. Now, it so happened that both of the lawyers were more than passively interested in the game of chess, and when at the bottom of the box they found a problem, both of the professional gentlemen were greatly delighted. They drew up the chess table between them and began to set up the problem. Little did they know that this was the one that the professor had solved on his fatal night. After arranging the pieces and the pawns, the lawyers began to analyze the problem. All this time the room was growing darker. Drops of rain, new born of the unhappy fog outside, pattered a dreary dirge against the great grey window. The fire grew dimmer and the air in the room became stifling. Both of the lawyers were increasingly nervous, however, they still kept their minds on the problem. One of them saw, at the bottom of the sheet of notations, the last triumphant move as indicated by the pro- fessor. He started to make the move, but was interrupted by the open- ing of the library door. Both were so startled that they stared straight ahead, each at the other. Of the pair, one was a rather stout gentleman. On his forehead were clustered countless little globules of sweat. Who- ever had opened the door had strode across the room with quick decisive steps. The stout gentleman was the first one to look up. Besides his colleague,'there was no one in the room! He could stand it no longer. In leaping to his feet, he clumsily knocked over the chess table. The chessmen and paper, on which the notations for that queer puzzle had been written, were plunged into the flre. It seemed as if they were con- sumed in a flash. Strangely enough, the fire grew brighter, the room seemed less stifling, and the rain had ceased to patter its weary dirge upon the great, grey window. The stout lawyer opened a window on the other side of the room, closed the library door, and came back to sit down. Both men were obviously relieved. Neither of them spoke a word about the problem. Indeed, had they tried to remember that phe- nomena, they would have found it impossible. The incident was closed. STRANGE FEELINGS As I sit alone in the flreside gloom, All the black outside seems to fill the room, And the wind howls loud and the windows creak, And the shadows all play at hide-and-seek, Why, I never felt so strange before. Could it be a face that appears at the door? Oh, I know why shadows all make me quail, I'm alone, and reading a mystery tale. -Dorothy Lower THE FIELD HOUSE HARRY DANIEL .gf,Eff1-'Egg-i:,-i-,i.'.-1f 5 - - '-A.- 1, S I ride down Forty-third street, perhaps dangling precariously on the outside of some old Ford. 25 every house, every vacant lot, even every dog .,, seems familiar to me, for I have seen them many times. As we cross to the field, I take a good look at the lot across the way. It reminds me of the times we practiced there to save the sod on 'W-f the playing field. How hard and rocky it was! I walk up to the big friendly gate that gives and prevents admittance to the fleld. It protects our possessions and makes us sleep free of every Worry while we are away. I unconsciously lean upon its iron posts. How many times have I YY resisted my weary bones by leaning on that same ga e. 'f I look out over the field-there where I sweated and toiled by faithful companions. We shared together our pains and dlscomforts and our joys and pleasures. That field seemed to say, Come to me, for we are friends. Once again I saw two teams lined up against each other. Once again I saw sweaty, laboring boys running around the cinder track. Then I saw them sitting on the benches removing their shoes before going down into the field house. I could smell their sweaty bodies, the healthy smell of youth. Again I went into the fleld house. Once more I heard shouting, mangled, excited talking all through the rooms. I smelled medicine, sweat-soaked shoulder pads and head gears that smelled like an old saddle. We went into the shower room. Again I heard the yells when the cold water came from the showers. Some found fault with the cross- country men who had used all of the hot water. As the players waited in line to be weighed, they talked about muscles, how to make muscles, well-known athletes, football, and other subjects of interest. Each had his views on the subject suggested. Then they dressed, talking all the while: then they slowly filed out of the fleld house, shouting remarks over their shoulders as they went, rebuking some for slowness, and, in turn, were being asked what the hurry was. Finally the last one left for his home. where a warm supper awaited him. Sud- denly all became quiet and lonely. With the last one gone, the shadows of night settled on the old fleld house. All became dark. TO AN ATHLETE If I could paint you, friend, as you stand there, Guard of the goal, defensive, open-eyed, Watching the tortured pigskin slide and glide Under the nimble feetg legs bare, head bare The breeze atremble through your curly hair, Ruddy in face and ruddier having spied A wily foeman breaking from the side Aware of him, of all else unaware If I could limn as you leap and fling Your weight against his passage like a wall, Clutch him and collar him and cling For one brief moment till he falls, you fall, My sketch would have what art can never give Sinew and breath and body, it would live. -James Funkhouser ' -5.Q2f5.- I-if--5' Q15 141' 19 'P 'ZLL' . 22-fic 'i ..f?fg5:. 2-5:11-Vg. .

We are glad for the For about twelve years, I have uncon- sciously watched Fairview Park change from a fine, beautiful park into a finer and still more beautiful college campus. Many boys and girls who once played hide-and-seek among the trees, flowers, and grass have now grown into the young men and women who swell the Butler college attendance. Years have passed, but many remember the Hiawatha which the Blackfeet In- dians gave down on the canal. On the steep bank across from the Indian en- campment, many seats were built, and here, afternoons and evenings, the inter- ested people of Indianapolis watched and listened to the Indians sing and act In- dian themes and legends. Every Sunday, hundreds of people es- caped the summer heat by strolling under the thick foliage of the trees in the low, cool valleys of its hills. Many are the peo- ple who have enjoyed their afternoon, hiking or bicycling along the towpath. The flower-pickers swarmed that narrow stretch in search of violets and ferns, which they hoped to find on its banks and in the undergrowth near. In the summer, every- thing was so green, and so cool, and re- freshing that Fairview became an Indiana- polis playground. For several years, the Park was closed, then Fairview became the new site of Butler University. Action in building was slow, but once begun, the work progressed rapidly. Before long, a great field house rose majestically on the bluffs overlooking the White River Valley. Below the Held house, a giant bowl was dug, which, when completed, will be the envy of many middle- Western colleges. A light, grey, beautiful stone building soon began to rise from a rolling meadow. From Michigan Road, the tower looks as if it were a castle rising white and mysterious against a background of trees. The thlckets along the high canal banks have been cleared, and rich grass now supplants a once almost impass- able realm of quail and rabbits. Fairview Park is ideal for a college campus. As the years pass, I am sure that Butler University will become an at- tractive place of which Indianapolis will be development of this spot into beautiful col- lege grounds. Still we look back with a little regret upon those memories of our younger days, and feel a little sadness at the inevitable change from wildness to civilization. As we realize what rapid development has taken place in such a FAIRVIEW PARK '. ' ' .' 1 '. I . ' 'Y if , . 2' Q15 fix- .::',.1.:..'-.fp j:,v,L.y - H f ' W V flfffsly b . gl!

A BOY'S ROOM A boy's room might be called an old curiosity shop. It contains everything from fishing rods to dress suits. As we enter it, we are greeted by loud shouts. It is afternoon. The gang has come in, and the fun has begun. Baseballs, skis, footballs, tennis racquets, or anything that happens to be in season, are flourished about in the room. In the Winter, the skis, the ice-skates, and hockey-sticks are taken out with them. After long hours of play, in the stinging air, the typical American youth sits down to study his lessons. In his desk We may flnd everything from souvenirs to books, pictures, stubs of pencils, safety clips, match-box tops, or old school papers. Then comes the week-end, and he is off for a hunting trip in the mountains. His rifle is gone, and his dog is no longer guarding his master's room. Spring arrives, and with it an ambition to play the mechanic. Radio equipment is strewn around the room, and the lathe is turning. Out in the garage is found an old dismantled Ford. Then the boy becomes air- minded, and the old car comes into use as an airplane motor. In his room, models and drawings are scattered about. This idea, however, is soon discarded and a baseball craze takes its place. By summer he is becoming interested in girls. We no longer find his tux hanging up night after night, but following him, we find it at a DeMo1ay dance. His room is growing older in many ways. It is more neat, and girls' pictures adorn the walls. A sax, bright and shin- ing, lies on the bed. We no longer find mechanical contrivan- ces in the old cubby-holes. However, the bathing suit is still pop- ular. The library once stacked with childhood stories, is filled with modern novels. In place of his lathe, we find a new radio-victrola, con- taining all the newest song hits. A Marmon sport roadster has taken the place of the old Ford. In the corner stand a couple of card tables, and golf clubs have taken the place of ball bats. He is off for college, and at this point he seems to break away from the family. The old dog becomes lonesome, and all that consoles him is the boy's room, once the scene of many playful scrambles between them. -Edward Springer.

One of the new- comers was Shortridge of Indianapolis. The smooth-working Blue team, coached by Kenneth Peterman, had upset the dope in carrying off the honors in the Indianapolis Sectional and then had gone on to defeat Danville and Alexandria, conqueror of Anderson, in the Anderson regional, to gain the right to play at the Butler Fieldhouse. Muncie, one of the pre-tourney favorites, had just put on a pow- erful last-half drive to crush Kendallville by a 37-16 score. The sun's early morning rays, slanting down through the windows of the east end of the field house, were here and there piercing the murky grayish-blue haze which hung over the huge hardwood arena. The ice cream and apple salesmen made their initial sallles into the crowd of ready buyers, as the fans turned to jot down the score of the flrst game. There were plenty of Peanut Venders in the crowd, but a casual survey failed to reveal any Ladies Playing Their Mandolins. The State Champions, Washington Hatchets, were the flrst to come on the floor and were given an ovation by the crowd. Led by Dave Dejernet, giant Negro pivot man, the down-staters looked impressive, as they dl- vided into two teams and scrimmaged on the West end of the floor. Shortridge came on the floor soon after, and the Capitol City boys were given a nice hand by the crowd. The Shortridge rooting section was making plenty of noise as the Blue regulars came out on the floor, clad in blue silk trunks and blue jerseys. Everybody was on his feet as the two teams lined up for the opening whistle. Washington-out to win their second consecutive championship. Shortridge--out to show the world that Shortridge can produce a champion in basketball. Dejernet took the opening tip-off, but Washington lost the ball and Heckman was open for a short shot but missed, and the Shortridge section groaned. Shortridge worked the ball down the floor again and this time Heckman shot and hit. The big crowd, always pulling for an upset, roared its approval. Both teams began playing a more cautious brand of ball, and both re- peatedly came down the floor, only to fail to penetrate the defense of the other team. Finally, Dejernet evened things up with a short goal when he grabbed the ball out of a mix-up on the Washington foul line. Dejernet took the tip and Wade immediately hit from center to make the score 4-2 in favor of Washington. Berns fouled Dejernet and the Hatchet center's free throw was good. Rene Bulleit, stellar Blue guard, was fouled by Heavenridge and hit both his free throws. The electric scoreboard read, Washington, 55 Shortridgeg 4. Again Dejernet slipped in and scored a short basket to make the BLUE DEVILS, 931 score 7-4. Berns took the tip, but the gun ended the first quarter before the Blue could score. As the teams sat down to rest for the period between quarters, the crowd settled back in their seats and gave voice to their surprise at seeing the Friddlemen held so closely by the Blue Devils but also ex- pressed the opinion that the Hatchets would win easily. Dejernet tipped the ball to Heavenridge to open the second quarter and the brilliant Washington guard crashed under the basket to give the Hatchets a five point lead. Berns took the tip and Art Gage, Blue forward, shot and hit to make the score 9-6. Ralph Brafford, Shortridge goal guardian, drlbbled down the floor and hit from side-center. Bulleit was fouled and made good the free throw to tie the score at 9-9. Brafford tore loose from his guard and raced down the floor to make the score 11-9 ln favor of Short- ridge as the crowd thundered its appreciation. With the little red light hovering over the two minute mark, Gorsage knotted the count at 11-11. A moment later, Dejernet got loose and shoved in a one-handed shot to make the score 13-11 as the half ended. As the Blue Devils came out on the floor for the last half, they seemed determined to fight to the last ditch, and they were a grim looking group of boys. Dejernet fouled Berns as the third quarter opened and the Shortrldge center hit both free throws to knot the count at 13-13. Bralford con- nected for another free throw to give Shortrldge a one point advantage. Dejernet took the tip and passed to Heavenridge, who scored on a criss-cross play to give Washington a 15-14 lead. Heckman was fouled and he tied the score again at 15-15. By this time pandemonium reigned supreme and the crowd was on its feet yell- ing as Washington took time out. Gross hit for Washington but Gage retaliated for Shortrldge by con- necting from way out on the side. Gage was fouled and hit. Bulleit was fouled and made it 19-17 as the Shortrldge fans went crazy. Gage counted another free throw to make the score 20-17, with one minute to go. BLUE DEVILS, '31 Morgan hit a field goal to cut the Blue advantage to one point. Burl ljviggdge, Washington coach, ran up and down the side lines, gesticulating Gross fouled Bulleit and, while fifteen thousand souls held their breath, Bulleit missed. Brafford got the ball and passed to Gage, who passed to Heckman, and Heckman shot and hit to make it 22-19, and the Shortridge fans hugged each other for joy. With thirty seconds to play, Dejernet tipped the ball to Heavenridge who passed it back to Dejernet and Big Dave crashed under to make it 22-21. Dejernet again took the tip and again Heavenridge passed to Dejernet, who juggled it a minute and then hit as the gun went off to make it Washington, 235 Shortridge, 22. The Shortridge rooters looked on, stunned for a moment, and then stumbled dumbly out of the bleachers. Meanwhile the valiant Blue Devil crew left the floor, with their arms around each other and tears flowing down their cheeks. OLD MAN RIVER Old Man River is certainly a marvelous person, with his ever- changing ways. He never passes without murmuring a few consoling and soothing words to a troubled soul. His voice is low and soft, and often one must listen carefully if he would hear these words. Year after year he has lived his life, full of its joy, its sorrows, its grief, and its pains. No matter how quickly the rest of the world moves, Old Man River merely smiles at their foolish haste as they pass him, and continues on with his peculiar, rolling gait. Sometimes, when he is sad, his gait slows a bit, as he lingers in the little bayous, as if tired by his long journey. However, he does not stay long. He must roll on, and on, down to the sea. At other times, when happy, he runs, and laughs, and leaps gaily over the rocky bed. He splashes along, singing loudly in his deep rumbling voice. Once in a while, he becomes, very angry. Then he rants and raves, and rushing madly along, he throws himself at the restraining banks, and tears huge pieces out of them. He snatches up everything within his reach and drags it down to the sea with him. Sometimes he breaks through his banks and hurls his mighty self across the country side, leaving death and destruction in his seething wake. However, he soon recovers from these fits of passion, and once more becomes a peaceful, slow-moving old river. He is a wonderful char- acter to those who understand him. -William J. Burich MINDIAW BOB HARRY McCLELLAND '1- '-'QHE whole Atlantic seemed to be under the spell of I a universal storm. From New York skyscrapers MW ran the same water that flooded the decks of gigantic Europe-bound liners. The great waves pitched like bucking horses and the heavy black clouds, together with frequent issuings of light- ning and thunder, gave no indication of sub- at a.. 1, siding. . But great ships were not the only travelers of the sea, for in the south Atlantic, a dilapi- dated tramp steamer battled the gale, which was not the first experience in its history. The India was on its way to Brazil for a small cargo of rubber, to be taken back to Spain. This rubber was of a most excellent grade and only a few men knew where it was grown, so to avoid conspicuousness, the India was sent after it. U The crew consisted of twenty-two well-hardened sailors and Bob, a black and white fox terrier. He had been raised by these same men ever since he was a pup, and consequently they were very fond of him. At this particular time he happened to be lying in the cabin of Captain Tom West, listening to the storm and also to Tom giving orders. The storm lasted three days, and, shortly after the skies had cleared, the small vessel came in sight of its destination, a small Brazilian town occupied mainly by fishermen of Spanish descent. The rubber was al- ready packed and waiting to be taken away. The captain called his men together and reminded them of their duty: they were to load the rubber immediately, and then to wait two days for another load which was to be brought up from the forest. When it was all safely aboard the ship, they would return to Spain. But above all, cautioned Captain West, don't forget to keep this a secret. Bob was ashore as soon as anyone, and went about his usual task of finding out everything for himself. He roamed through street after street and saw the small houses, as well as the brown natives going about their tasks. At the end of one street, Bob came upon a man whom his sensitive nose assured him that he would not like. The man was small and dark and very unpleasant looking, but he petted Bob and tried to make friends with him. In spite of his friendliness, Bob shunned him and left for another street. He went back to the shore and watched the sailors load the rubber onto the India, When this work was finished, he proceeded to a shel- tered part of the street and there curled up for a nap. Suddenly he was violently awaked by a suffocating sensation. A sack was tied over his head, and he was picked up and carried to the shore. Finally, he could tell that he was being carried onto a boat Cwhat one it was, he didn't knowj and dumped into a room. The sack was taken off his head, and the door shut, so, since he was no longer concerned with the breathing problem, he proceeded to explore his prison, finding it to be very small and totally dark. Bob soon tired himself out, so he lay down to sleep. Many hours later he was awakened by the entrance of a dark, short man, who gave him some food. He readily recognized the man whom he had encoun- i ff, , xg H l 'Q - ff 1 L-'-1 34.1 ,411 ,fy wa, 2 o.-,mf 'fl WIA jifgffnfily, Q, WW :ZW ' Wi nat ., ,, ,,, J if . ai GGINDIAW BOB tered the day before. There was no alternative, so he ate. He did so many, many times before the ship landed in Florida. Losing no time, he was sent with three men into South Carolina, where, at a little cabin halfway up the mountains, they settled down to wait for the others. Bob now had a chance to reflect, and he began to wonder what all this was about. He knew one thing, and that was that he missed the seamen of the India Also he wondered what he had seen being unloaded from the ship that brought him to Florida. Not much time was given for thinking, though, for soon a large rope was placed around his neck and he was tied fast to a post. The craving for the salt air came upon him, and he longed to be where he could gaze at the sea. On the second night, his longing overcame his will, so, after working quite a while at his rope, he chewed it apart and then started off down the mountain side. All night he alternately ran and walked, and so he began to grow weary, especially since he still had a long piece of rope attached to his neck. He slept for a few hours, and, on arising, possessed a raving hunger. By this time he was on level country, so he stopped at a farm house ln hopes of finding some refuse thrown about. He searched for some time, and having no luck, went on. Late in the afternoon he killed a chicken and was chased out of the neighborhood for his actions. He continued on his way for several more days and flnally, tired and thin, he entered a seaport town. On one of his excursions for food, he passed the waterfront. He roamed the piers where the various cargoes were being unloaded, and all the hustle and bustle was music to his ears. Two men, sitting down eating their lunches, threw Bob a piece of bread as he passed. He eagerly ate and looked hopefully for more. Say, said one of the men, an old sailor, seems to me that I've seen that dog somewhere before. He thought a minute. I know, lt's Tom West's dog, but what he's doing here, I don't know. Tom's in South America. The men came over and patted Bob. Yes, said the old man, I'm sure he's Tom's, but something must have happened, 'cause he always stuck pretty close to Tom. I'll bet someone stole him, 'cause Tom never put a rope around his neck. The men went into the office and satisfied themselves that the India was away, but they also found out that lt had returned to Spain three days before with only half the cargo. Tom said that the rest had been waylaid and stolen by robbers. The sailors verified the story by the disappearance of the dog, and it was decided that a party would be made up to go in search of the rob- bers, since it was known that they were in the hills, and also that Bob would be taken along as a guide. . Right then, however, Bob was not bothered with seaching, for he was well fed and he lay down to regain some of the rest he had lost. He recuperated for two days and then the hunt began. By questioning residents, it was ascertained that Bob had come from the hills, so the party headed in that direction. The posse consisted of Bob, the two sailors who found him, a member of the steamship company, a repre- sentative of the rubber company of Spain, and tlve other sailors who were doing nothing at present. Bob was allowed all the freedom he wllshlsd, and he soon recognized the farm at which he had stolen the c c en. Bob led them farther and farther up into the hills and many times he 46INDIA BOB passed landmarks that he had seen on his way down. After several days of searching, the party stood on a hill that overlooked a small cabin, a cabin which Bob had seen before. The men quietly approached and completely surprised two men sitting on the steps. Who are you? they demanded. We're the men who have come to put a stop to your business, answered the rubber representative. The men claimed to know nothing, but an inspection of the cabin revealed boxes containing the stolen rub- ber, and it also proved that they were alone. They finally confessed that the rest of the gang would be up that night with another load. The party settled back to walt for them. Bob did some inspecting of his own and was kicked by the guardian of the cabin, who recognized him. That didn't bother Bob, because he knew that he was protected this time by friends. That night, when the rest of the band was heard coming down the hill, the posse stood inside and waited for them. The interior was pitch dark and the band filed in carrying their burdens. When the last one had entered, the door was shut and the lamp lighted. The sailors counted four, and all were taken so unaware that resistance was impossible. One did drop his load and make for the door but he was soon dragged back to the rest. The evidence was more than sufficient, so no words were needed: handcuffs were placed on all of them and the homeward journey was begun. Bob was very happy all the way, for he knew that he had helped to catch the gang and also he had hopes of seeing his old master again. The party soon arrived at the coast, and the band of robbers was taken away, while some authorities were sent to the cabin to bring the rubber. The little posse dispersed, but Bob went with his two friends to the clerk of the steamship company, who had good news. Well, he said to the sailors, it looks like the little dog has done his share in capturing these thieves, doesn't lt? It also looks like he will rejoin his crew soon. The company in Spain that employed Tom West ls dissolving and the monopoly is passing into the hands of the gov- ernment. I received a letter from Tom today, and he says his services are no longer needed, so he is coming back here. He will arrive this week. He asked us to take good care of Bob for him. Well, old boy, that's what you wanted, wasn't lt? Bob barked and walked out onto the pier, where he could watch the horizon for the smoke of the Indla. 0, HITCH-HIKING T0 CALIFORNIA ,,,, ni AY, pal, let's go to California. HAH right, just as you say. When do we start? :iii At nine we are on the road west, California ',1 bound! I have thirty-one cents in my pocket. ,gf We flag a truck, and it stops for us. We ride ' A' If ffijf on a pile of lumber that bounces around fiercely. ' At Terre Haute, we get out and circle around the A' , W ' f i town. We argue about who will carry the suit-case and decide that it is my turn. We ride another truck for twenty miles, and then I three men pick us up and take us to St. Louis. - -' ' Thus we make Gray Gables on the first night, and it's freezing cold. Twenty cents left. It is hard getting rides today. However, we travel a hundred miles on another truck. A man playing a banjo feeds us. More short rides. At last we hail a car headed for Tulsa. It breaks a connecting rod. We sleep for three hours on an express truck. Meanwhile it is fixed and we go on to Tulsa. Hard to travel in Oklahoma! We ride on oil trucks most of the time and finally make Oklahoma City. After asking several people for something to eat, we decide to spend the night in a box car. We are just getting to sleep when an engine buckles onto it and we have to leave that. I had noticed several Indians sleeping in the station so We, too, curl up on the benches, but are rudely interrupted by a sound beat- ing on the bottom of the feet. How that hurts! We can hardly walk. We buy a loaf of bread and munch it, we are so hungry. Our last nickle. Another stranger takes us for forty miles that night, because he cannot get to sleep. This helps, but puts us in the country with no place to rest. We flag a man who helps us two hundred miles west. This ride is dangerously thrilling, since he goes to sleep driving about sixty miles an hour. We are now without a penny. After several more rides, we find ourselves in Texas, where We now get our biggest break. A man in a big Hudson picks us up, and after riding a while asks us for some identifications. I have a driving license and Bud has some letters. He then asks us to show him how we can drive. We Wonder what he is going to do and soon we find out. He asks us to drive his car to E1 Paso. Was this good news? The next morning we take the road, driving the biggest car I ever hope to handle. We pick up a fellow from Illinoisg he is going to Leland Stanford. Everything is fine until the tires start to blow out. We make E1 Paso, and spend all the money we have earned across the border, to see Mexico. We hit the road next morning, broke but cheerful. We flag a car going all the way to the coast, but it will only take one of us. We toss a coin and Bud Wins. Well, it feels mighty funny standing in a strange country alone, but I have no time to think about that. I have many rides today and make Globe, Arizona. The following day, however, HITCH-HIKING T0 CALIFORNIA I have the thrill of my life. An Indian picks me up and brings me down the mountains. He lets the car coast as fast as it will roll, then skids into a curve and flies through tunnels. I certainly am glad to get out of the car in Phoenix, and who should I meet here but Bud! We walk about ten miles and separate again, thinking we can do better alone. I am dropped out in some real desert, and, having had nothing to eat for three days, I begin to see spots in front of my eyes. Just as I think I will die, a lady comes along and has a blowout. I help her fix it, and get a ride to Buckeye. Here I meet Bud again. We ask the sheriff for something to eat and he gets us a ride that night to Gila Bend on a truck. We sleep on a lumber pile, which I must admit was good sleeping. We catch a freight train to Yuma. A man tells us the yard police in Yuma are strict, so we drop off two miles this side of it and Walk the rest of the way in. I think We Will drop before we ever reach it, and when we do arrive, we drink ice water until we almost founder. We catch another freight to Colton, California, and ride all night on it. We eat two dozen oranges for our next meal. I go to sleep the following night upon a cistern and turn both my ankles getting down. At last we reach Los Angeles. What a city! We walk ten miles through it, and sleep awhile in the graveyard. We finally get to the ocean after walking what seems like many hours. While looking for a free telephone, we find a job. Just pure luck! I hope any boys thinking of hitch hiking anywhere this summer will be prepared for what is in store for them. I never would expect to be that lucky again in my life. It is well enough to hitch hike if you are not afraid to ask for something to eat. Thank heavens there are some kind-hearted people in the world! HAPPY DAYS It's fun to take a trip in early spring, Upon a speedy motor bike I rideg Among the hills and trees our voices ring, For We have laid our cares all aside. O'er field and stream our sturdy mounts we guide: Deep in a cool and soothing creek we swimg Then in a wind-blown shack awhile abide, And when, in later years, We find life grim, We'll dream of youthful days and speed bikes trim! -Harold Miller A VISIT T0 PUNCTUATION CENTER GERELDA LANDRETH 12 'I ES :Sz-k::f'1 f .-1' ff V ffm f , ' 'F 1 if 13 gl!! ml?

Ml . - URRY! Hustle! Bustle! Here we are in the midst of the brisk activity of Punctuation Center. Everyone is busy here, and so must we be, if we are to meet all of the villagers. Why, there comes Mayor Colon and his wife, Semlcolon. They are very dignified people. The Mayor never condescends to speak unless something of the utmost importance is to fol- low his address. Semicolon is a little more democratic, but you may be sure she never for- gets that she ls one of the arlstocrats of Punc- tuation Center. She is a great thinker, and ls always linking big ideas and bridging great chasms of thought. You are noticing the May- or's top hat and frock coat, aren't you? He is never without lt. He would consider himself disgraced if seen wearing anything else. Yes, semicolon always wears that long train. It is a sign of her superiority and has been worn by her ancestors for generations before her. Look out! Good gracious! Those youngsters are going to kill someone someday. I don't know what this younger generation is coming to. Who are they? The boy is Exclamation Mark, and the girl is Lottie Dash. They are typical of these awful modern youths. They care for nothing but speed, thrills, and jazz. Exclamation Mark never makes sensible statements. They are always short and quick and often slangy. Lottie Dash is always connecting ideas that are only remotely related to each other. Oh, there's Faith Period. She ls one of the busiest persons in the vil- lage. Besides doing her own work-she has one of the biggest jobs here -she is always finishing the work that Abbreviation, one of the sluggards of the village, leaves behind. I don't know what the town would do without her. Oh dear, let's hide. Here come Quotation Marks. They're twin maiden ladies, and they are the worst gossips of the village. They are always going about repeating what someone else has said. The worst part of them is that you can't escape them once they get hold of you. Somehow, they can make you tell things that you never meant to say, then they spread it all over town. One is very seldom seen without the other, when she is, she is always quoting something that the other said. They're really awful. I don't suppose there's a chance for you to actually meet Lawyer Comma, Faith Period's brother, for in all busy Punctuation Center there is no one so busy as he. He has by far the biggest job here. He is the diplomat of the village. He is always clearing things up for other people, and patching up quarrels between them. Whenever a villager comes across something that isn't clear to him, he usually goes to Lawyer Comma. Apostrophe is the aviator of the town. He is never seen on the ground. He is always doing work that has been left undone by other people. Often people impose upon him, as on many of the other villagers, and have him do things which are really unnecessary. Oh, you wish to know who this is wandering aimlessly behind that procession? That is Question Mark. He does not mean to be lazy, but somehow he. is always at the end of any affair, and is never very sure of what he IS going to do. These good people often wonder what to do A VISIT TO PUNCTUATION CENTER .2:31:31-:ff3111,-FJ.-::LIL- Y' -v- .' - .rx-:bf -.-. ' W'.S2111,l: E:5-NIV.21'-:D-5-ifilf-H -'I'ffl ',':' I ' it W f w l .

Since he is perfectly harmless, I guess that the best thing to do is to let him go his Wandering way. Well, my dear, I believe that you have met the most important char- acters of Punctuation Center. I think that it is a remarkable village, because everything is so Well organized, and everything has its place. Outsiders seem to mistrust its perfection of organization, and try to get the villagers in the most impossible situations. If only they would leave them to do what they know is best, I believe Punctuation Center really would be perfect. Come! Hurry! There's Grammar, the best train to and from Punc- tuation Center. We had better catch ltg any other train may take us a very roundabout Way and get us into a lot of trouble. Remember that, if you ever Wish to revisit Punctuation Center. -Gerelda.

In my day that court .4 ' didn't look like that. i Amblf 'fy Paul Jordan was showing. Mr. Trent, an alumnus, around Shortridge High School. The lil elder man had been a member of the class of -il .l.1 nineteen thirty-one. n . Why, Mr. Trent, that's our swimming pool i.g,g, , , 1 ii fpf A'n' and conservatory. Isn't it a peach. You know the Shortridge swimmers hold the record now over the state for high diving and overhand , Ap,, stroke. Well! Well! said Mr. Trent. When I went to school here, that court was just a mess 'ips-?'i?Sgif'iE5 of shale, lime, and sand. We had a campaign mill.TilllTHLL1Ti+'l.+.lMTW to enrich the soil, and GVGFYOHG helped by bring- ing a shoe-box full of dirt. We were supposed to take a civic pride ln the improvement of the court and could usually get out of class if our excuse was to help on the project. You see, said Paul, it's all roofed over now with glass and kept at semi-tropical temperature. See the palms and flowers. We are allowed to promenade out here at different periods. The classes in Costume De- sign give their style show out here. Isn't that pool a beauty? Mr. Grubbs and Mr. Wade worked out a formula by which this water is kept absolutely fresh and has all the beneficial effects of ocean water. We have waiting lists for the swimming classes. You see you can't belong unless you are on the A Honor Roll, and everyone wants to swim. Why, there's Mr. Buck, exclaimed Mr. Trent, and stepped forward to shake hands. 'Tm so glad to see you. You look younger than when I was here. Well, smiled Mr. Buck, you see our chemistry department discovered that marvelous Youth Formula which has made them famous. You'll find most of your teachers here, Mr. Trent, and I'll wager they'll look no older to you. It is a wonderful thing. You had best have some treatments and stay young with us. Glad to have seen you. Now, Paul, show your friend all the improvements. He will scarcely know the old school. Paul and his friend proceeded down the hall. As they passed a group of lockers, Mr. Trent stopped. There is something that hasn't changed, I see. I suppose you still have the same old struggle with the locks and combinations? Oh no, sir. We do not even have locks any more. That's all out. You see, according to applied psychology, having locks would only sug- gest dlshonesty. To invite honesty, you do away with suspicion. We haven't had anything stolen from this school for a long while. 'Pon my word, ejaculated Mr. Trent. By this time they had reached the door of the Echo office. Come in and see a set-up of today's Echo, sir. It, too, has changed. At present we run a full page of funnies, a rotogravure section, and a continued story, in addition to the four pages of personals. 'Tm sure you would like to see the physics department. Here's an elevator now. A group of students crowded in. What! questioned Mr. Trent, are students allowed to use the elevators? Oh yes, sir, explained Paul, we have found in tested cases that the time and energy saved is of amazing value to students. JUST IMAGINE This is our physics department, Mr. Trent. Come in and inspect our photographic studio. Here We can take pictures of any type with any backgroundg palms, riding horses, Alaska, or South Seas. Our art de- partment specializes in backgrounds. Here is one we find very good for freshmen, with the symbolic grass and leaves of greeng here is another of paler green, suitable for sophomores. This-pointing to a beautiful moon-lit garden scene-is for the more romantic juniors, and this for the dignified seniors, futuristic, with the owl as the symbol. Pictures are turned out in one hour. Wonderful! Wonderful! Mr. Trent repeated again and again, as his adjectives began to give out. And this is our radio broadcasting room, said Paul, as they went into a velvet-hung room. Shortridge is on the air six hours a day, broadcasting all games, lectures, and other activities. It has made us known internationally, and our station H-O-O-E-Y is one of the most popular for its musical programs. Mr. Wainwright's band and the Royal Syncopators broadcast regularly. This, indeed, is beyond my wildest ambitions for Shortridgej' said Mr. Trent. I congratulate youll Thank you, said Paul. I want to show you the lunch room, too. They entered an immaculate white-tiled area, where hundreds of pupils were eating their lunch. How quiet they are, remarked Mr. Trent. As I remember the lunch room in '31, the noise was deafening. Sound proof ceilings, floors, and furniture have taken care of all that, explained Paul. Sound vibrations are controlled and counteracted, and the results are practically noiseless. Courses in lip reading and mental telepathy enable us to understand one another. And our menus are more satisfactory than in your time, sir. We now have chicken every day and turkey three times a week. Over there is a soda fountain with the latest soft drink equipment, and service to all the rooms. But, interposed Mr. Trent, what about Taylor's, across the street, and 'The Pantry'? I never heard of them, sir. Let's go to the auditorium, proceeded Paul. Here we have the best of moving picture equipment for sound pictures, and comedies are shown during the lunch hour. A good laugh tones up the students' minds for the rest of the week. Well, well, was all Mr. Trent could utter in his amazement. And when is school out? Three o'clock? Oh no, we have a very intensified course and get over the work with great speed. We are through at twelve-thirty, for the convenience of the show-going teachers. And when do you study? asked the bewildered Mr. Trent. Where are the study halls? Our study halls have been made into study lounges, where we are instructed by prominent educators of the country through television radio. The subject is presented in such a Way that the assimilation is instantaneous, we seem to absorb it. Here is one of the study lounges, and he led the way into a handsomely furnished room. There were comfortable overstuffed chairs and davenports, and Mr. Trent mentally compared this luxury with the wooden seats in which he, as a boy, had tried in vain to be comfortable enough to sleep for forty minutes.

Now, continued Paul, we will walk around the campus. There has been great improvement there also. You see Shortridge has acquired these wooded lots to the north, and they are all a part of the campus. These rustic benches here and there are all for the students of romance languages. The shrubbery and winding walks add to the beauty of the effect. Here, pointing to a gate and a fight of steps, is where we descend to the subway, which takes us to the Athletic Fieldg it simplifies traffic considerably. As they looked back at the building, they could see students playing ping-pong and miniature golf on the roof garden. It's all truly wonderful, sighed Mr. Trent, and I thank you for showing me around. DEFINITION A LA LAMB A perfect recitation is a feather in your hat -a bird on your table-a monument to your powers-a blight to your enemies-an animated discourse-an inteligible display of your ideas- the exposition of your knowledge-a well-versed conversation-a provocation to thought-the mild but firm impulsion of your ideas-the product of your better self-an unintentional compliment to your personality-the revelation of your true being-a compact lecture-a philosophical ut- terance-a divine manifestation of your wisdom -a mixture of your ideals and circumstances blended into an almost unattainable elegance. -Bert Brayton is for All in our own Shortridge High, the Beginning of days now gone by. is our Credits, which We Worked hard to win, How We dread it, to flunk is a sin. the Exchange- Books bought and sold. for our Friends, both new and old. for our Gym, Where good times were spent for the Homes which we all represent.

If you have, you know a different Short- rid e. gfhe building presented to you at ten o'clock is a big, black, cold, empty shell. Your Work lights, probably the only bit of brightness in the building, pierce the dense darkness. As you glance out of the Window into the seemingly bottomless pit forming the court, it appears as if you were looking into infinity. No doubt, even the stoutest heart would feel a queer tenseness, bordering on terror of something unknown. Out of deep silence you may hear the soft padding of feet. Sud- denly you remember it is the night Watchman. Perhaps he looks in to inquire how you are getting along, or perhaps he tells you about going to school to the father of a Shortridge teacher-but he can not tarry long for he must punch many boxes to let the police know that all is well on the Shortridge front. As the sound of his shulTling feet fades, you feel an oppressing silence enveloping you. The clock clicks on and soon your task must be completed. You apply yourself more diligently and soon you prepare to leave. Walking into the locker-lined hall, it seems in the dim light as if you Walk past millions of lockers, uniform to the point of monotony. Reaching the door, you see the lights of the street and the brilliant sign of the drug store, where you will soon quench a great thirst for a coke. The noise made in the opening of the door seems to redouble in volume, and you are suddenly glad to leave the building of empty silence. -Richard Hoover NOCTURNAL HOURS ff., ,77 fic if 514 ,WA -- 'S iii X S Q 5 Q Q S i Now all was dark in Shortridge halls And long would be that way Until the sun should dawn again, And turn the gloom to day. Now at the eerie hour of twelve, The time of ghosts and elves, Our lockers came to life somehow, And talked among themselves. I never put through such a day, Said one-o-forty-four, That little freshman stuffed me so I'm bulging at the door! He tosses papers right and left, And weights me down with books: He pokes in rope and marbles, too, How terrible it looks! You have it hard, I am aware, Said one-o-forty-three, Now I belong to just a soph A girl at that, you see. Her movie idols adorn my walls, I'm sure I don't know who, And all cosmetics line my shelf, Now, what am I to do? NOCTURNAL HOURS Say, listen, pal, the frosh will grow, When he's a junior boy I-Ie'll be ashamed of playthings then, More comfort you'll enjoy. My owner's changed completely now, He's interested in dates, He even owns a Chevy coupe, So with the girls he rates. Remotest in this chatting group Was one of a senior girl. The upperclassmen's locker now Proud Words began to hurl: How dreadful to be so unkempt- I'm never left that Way. And though it spoke sarcastically Stray papers in it lay. Conversing there through all the night The lockers one by one, Were telling of their sad disgrace And what each youth had done. And now let us remember this, Since we know lockers care, To treat them kindly like our friends And save them from despair. -Mary Catherine McLain HONEST, WE DO We're confessln' that we love you, White and blue, We're all for you.

Different clubs of Shortridge were guests of the society on various occasions.

The group attended A Tailor Made Man on April 11, preceding a din- ner and bridge at Marian Laut's home. On April 20, the Junior mem- bers held an informal welcome party for the Senior members. The faculty entertained the society with a dinner at the Propylaieum, May 23, after which a formal initiation was held.

Soon all thoughts were turned on the oncoming election of class officers. The pres- idency was disposed of in short order with George Underwood winning over Walter Myers. James Henry Prescott received the office of Annual editor over Della Lee Dawson. There were seven candidates for vice-pres- ident: Catherine Bowsher, Helen Clever, Bertha Louise Drane, Lois Jordan, Winifred Jean Loudon, Frances Morrison, and James Orr. Helen Clever was successful. Ruth Apostol, Caroline Coffin, Jack Deupree, Charlene Heard, and Ada Mozelle Miller were candidates for secretary. Charlene Heard won this office on the third ballot. Candidates for the office of treasurer were John Black, Ralph George, Frank Fehsenfeld, Horace Kelley, Corliss Maxam, and Bob Sutherlin, who was successful. Installation of the newly-elected officers did not take place until the second senior meeting, which was called to order on November 25, 1930, by Curtis Plopper, president of the class in its Junior year. It was decided that a senior party should be given on Wednesday, December 17. To arrange for such an event Bud Underwood appointed the Senior Party Committee. Robert Sutherlin, class treasurer, chose as his staff to aid in the collec- tion of senior dues Fred Crostreet, John Fenstermaker, Ralph George, Robert Hiatt, James Orr, Helen Robinson, George Stumpf, Dick Thompson, and Winifred Jean Loudon. At the third meeting of the senior class, held on January 20, it was announced and accepted by the class that the Annual would be dedicated to Miss Katharine Allen of the English department and literary sponsor of the Annual. At this same meeting Walter Myers, chairman of the color committee, presented five color combinations for the choice of the class. Maroon and cerise were finally chosen. Later in the year Helen Clever appointed Kathryn Frost and Eleanor Holt as members of the color committee to prepare the color bows for sale to seniors. After a lengthy battle at the third senior meeting the Dexheimer Studio was finally chosen as class photographers. James Funkhouser, chairman of the Senior play committee, announced at a meeting held on March 12, that after careful consideration of several plays, the committee had chosen The Devil in the Cheese. During the following week, try-outs for the play were held which resulted in the selection of the cast by the judges. The following announcement of the invitation committee was made by the president: Robert Chambers, chairman, Louis Darko, Virgina Cunning, John Clemens, Louise Faulkner, Dorothy Wilson, Carroll Brinson, and Martha Rose Scott. Mr. William N. Otto, class sponsor, announced that the offer of Dr. W. W. Wiant had been accepted and the Baccaulaureate service would be held on June 7 at the new North Methodist Church at 38th and Meridian. At separate meetings of the senior boys and girls, the commencement dress was decided. Charles Hagedon received the honor of being chosen class poet from the five other candidates for the position who were Eileen Brown, Helen Clever, Gerelda Landreth, Kenneth Schaffer, and Bob Wise. Election of Class Day officers was the main business of the meeting held in Caleb Mills Hall on April 28. Mary Catherine McLain was elected historian over Mary Gaylord and Sarah Wills. Alice Auerbach was elected to the office of prophet on the second ballot over Kathryn Frost, Winifred Holmes, Mary Alice Norris, and Nan Reasoner. William Daily was chosen as will-maker. Dick Gaus and James Orr became giftorians on a partnership basis. Class day was celebrated by the seniors on Tuesday, June 9. On the next day, Wednesday, June 10, the closing event for all the four glorious high school years was held and the 1931 Senior Class of Shortridge High School was graduated. -Mary Frances Diggs MTHE DEVIL IN THE CHEESE - - The class of '31 presented The Devil in the Cheese, a fantastic com- edy by Tom Cushing, under the personal direction of Miss Eleanor Dee Theek, of the English department, May 15, in Caleb Mills Hall. Walter Hiner, as Jimmie Chard, a steward, and Vernice Michael, as Gol- dina Quigley, a millionaire's daughter, played the leads exceptionally well. Mary Margaret McKeehan, as the sophisti- cated mother of Goldina, kept the au- dience in continuous laughter by her delightful acting and witty speech. Ed- ward Humston portrayed the part of Jo- seph Quigley, a father with old-fash- ioned ideas, who tried his best to keep his daughter, Goldina, from marrying the steward. Philip Mitchell amazed the audience with a marvelous portrayal of the Little God Min. The role of Doc- tor Pointell Jones, papa's choice for Goldina, was taken by John Black. Frank - - Barnett ably portrayed the role of Fath- er Petros, owner of the monastery and ELEANOR DEE THEEK bandit in disguise. The play was witty, brilliant, and diverting, and furnished two hours of unalloyed delight. The comedy was extraordinary, and was much enjoyed by the audience. Two thirds of the production takes place in the mind of a modern American girl and the stage settings of this part are largely responsible for the success of the enterprise. This was perhaps the most modern senior play that has been produced in Shortridge High School in recent years. The action in the play centered around a monastery in Greece, where Mr. Quigley had brought his family, supposedly to assist him in con- ducting archaeological research, but in reality, to separate his daughter, Goldina, from the courtship of the steward, Jimmie. The first act took place in the Grecian monastery. The Quigleys and Doctor Jones reach the monastery, which was on the top of a cliff, by means of a crude derrick-lifted net. Near the end of the act, an air- plane, seen flying above, crashed into the monastery. The passenger was none other than Jimmie, who had come at the request of Goldina, In the remaining part of the first act, many exciting situations were de- veloped between the infuriated father and Jimmie. The first scene of the second act took place aboard a yacht, as pic- tured in Go1dina's mind. This mental telepathy was made possible by the Little God Min, or the Devil in the cheese, who was freed from a twelfth century bottle, when Mr. Quigley ate some cheese which he had found in the monastery. The two remaining scenes of this act were also in Goldina's mind, one on a desert island, Where she and Jimmie were shipwrecked, and the other in the Chard home in 1938. In the third act, the action again shifted to the monastery. Father Petros and his band of monks finally turned out to be dangerous bandits, desiring only to obtain ransom from the Quigleys, who, finding themselves in many difficulties, were finally freed by Jimmie, and all ended well. The production was magnificently presented. The scenery, designed and built especially for the play, was correct in every detail. The mon- astery scene was superb, with a portion of the monastery actually con- structed on the stage. Many publicity stunts about school kept the Senior play constantly in the minds of the students. Two unique displays were in the show cases. Season Passes, given to the students were eagerly CAST OF HTHE DEVIL IN THE CHEESE Left to right: Thomas Cochrane, Mary Margaret McKeehan, John Black, Vernice Michael. Harry Tumbleson, James Highley. John Bradshaw, Edward Humston Jack Scatterday, Frank Barnett, Don Arnold, Philip Mitchell, Walter Hiner, Willianf Klee, John Clemens, Paul Bogigian, Helen Robinson. Miss Theek. accepted by them, but careful investigation of the tickets revealed them to be merely Senior Play advertisements. At a teaser, given in audit- orium, the devil distributed cheese tid-bits to the students, much to their delight. It was nessesary, in the desert island scene, to use a live monkey. After much hard work on the part of the property committee a small, chirping monkey was obtained, which added greatly to the reality of the scene. Other players were John Clemens, James Highley, George Stumpf, Thomas Cochrane, and John Pearson. The extras were John Bradshaw, Harry Tumbleson, Arthur Gage, William Klee, Paul Bogigian, Donald Arnold, Jack Scatterday, John Beeson, Gabe Wagman, Howard Hill, Ralph Clifton, Sarah Jane Southworth, Anne DeCroes, Helen Starost, June Julien, Helen Clever, Marjorie McBride, Lawrence Moore, Robert Sutherlin, Howland Crawford, David Harter, John Nunamaker, Jack Deu- pree, and George Ober.

Property Committee-Verne Haflield, chairman, William Fleming, Paul Shields, Don Roberts, Marvin Stewart, Louis Darko, Charles MacDougall, Herbert Smeltzer, William Forman, and Fred Swain. Wardrobe Committee-Nellie Mae Slate, chairman, Phillipa Schreiber, Jane Kaylor, Marjorie Ake, Mary Frances Diggs, Ada Mozelle Miller, and Betty Ferguson.

Chambers THE SENIOR PARTY After the class of '31 had worked the whole December day through, the gym was a picture which could be looked upon with frankness of admiration. Huge laurel wreaths hung resplendent from every wall. Red, green, and silver crepe paper swung in loosely twisted cords from pillar to pillar, across the balcony, and over the open doors. A small refreshment booth had been set up at each end of the room by enclosing tables with brilliant, fragile walls of slashed crepe paper. There were huge bowls of iced fruit punch, with trays and trays of small sweet cakes. Ask Freddie Crostreet about those cakes. And how Bob Stewart worked on that Christmas tree-a tree tall, fragrant, and full, covered with snow, twisted with painted lights, bestrewn with gifts, popcorn, and icicles, and glowing with big tinted balls. When the day was done, the frolicing class rushed in like the wind, breathless, and sat down in a big semi-circle on the floor to enjoy a most delightful program, prepared by the committee with James Funk- houser and Bud Underwood as chairmen. How could anyone forget how Helen Emily Walls brought the house down with her piano num- bers? She is a piano player who can really play the piano. And Fred Cain entertained with some snappy tap routines. Then there was cute little Betty Jane Wolfe, who can sing popular songs as popular songs should be sung, even to the blushing boy friends. She danced with her usual ability and cleverness, too. Jimmy Orr and Dick Gaus dressed up like brave tramps and decorated a Christmas tree for themselves in their own inimitable style. Some of Mrs. Moag's boys formed a quar- tette and sang a few most enjoyable numbers. Besides the program, there was a roly-poly Santa Claus with toys for some and candy for all. Virginia Lease left the party richer by one butterfly net, although she doesn't exactly seem to need it. And when Santa thought of Bob Stewart, he thought of Tech, of course, so, voila! a new Tech pennant for the bedroom wall. There was a little tin drum for Bob Sutherlin. And who got the monkey on the stick? Larry Fly brought his boys over, so that the class had an orchestra, some peppy dance tunes, and a dance floor crowded with laughing sen- iors and several high-rating but gate-crashing juniors. There was mistletoe over the refreshment booths. Oh-we were just wondering why Bud Underwood rushed for punch and things- and things and punch. The orchestra crooned away the hours deep into the dusk of the last December the senior class would ever spend at Shortridge, but what a day it had been and what a party! The senior class takes this op- portunity to congratulate the committee chairmen and their spon- sor, Miss Rousseau McClellan, The Senior Party committee, appointed by Bud Underwood, was composed of: music, Curtis Plopper, chairmang decor- ation committee, Winifred Jean Loudon and Walter Myers, co-chairmeng publicity, Robert W. Chambers, chairman, refreshment committee, Fran- ces Morrison and Fred Crostreet, chairmeng Mary Frances Diggs and Robert Stewart, chairmen to provide the Christmas tree, gifts, Mary Stewart Haines, chairman, and James Funkhouser, chairman of the en- tertainment committee, and Helen Clever, ex-officio. At five o'clock, Larry and his boys played Home Sweet Home for the revelers, the merriment ceased, the laughing and shouting died away, and the Christmas tree lights grew dim until another year. -Winifred Jean Loudon A G ,. , H.

Bulletin boards were virtually littered with posters, and each day the Echo was filled with the names of persons who were ardently support- ing the different candidates for the usual five offices. On November 24, 1930, the largest gathering of juniors that had ever previously assembled in Shortridge was crowded, two in a seat, into room 209. All the candidates continued to canvass until the last min- ute before elections, and the class sponsors, Mr. Joel W. Hadley and Mrs. Nell Thomas, were somewhat puzzled how to carry on an election in the presence of so eager a crowd. The five nominees for pres- ident were Bill Spicklemire, Bill Burich, Charles Johnson, Joseph Roth- bard, and Frank Snyder. Bill Spicklemire was elected on the second ballot. The list of candidates for vice-president included only one boy, Ber- nard Gill, the girls being Janet Power, Jeanne Helt, Susan Hill, Jean Elizabeth Boling, and Lucille Morrison. On second ballot, Jeanne Helt won by a large majority. Among the nominees for secretary were Agnes Hinkle, Rosalind Rainey, Helen Dauner, Barbara Craig, and Martha Belle Bright. Agnes Hinkle Won the office of secretary on the second ballot. Judging from the number of boys who ran for treasurer, it seemed that most young men were aspiring to lofty money matters. The can- didates were Don Hadley, LeRoy Breunig, Bob Brown, Julien Kennedy, Eunice Speers, and Helen Root. A third ballot resulted in the election of Don Hadley. Homer Cornell, John Leech, and Harry Witmer were nominated for Vaudeville Chairman. One ballot was sufficient to show that Homer Cornell was the choice of the class. From the thirteen candidates for Student Council, Charles Feibleman, Betty Davenport, Warren Shearer, and Charles Trees, were elected. During the junior meeting that followed almost the entire time was taken over for discussions of the Junior Vaudeville business. Many sug- gestions and new ideas were brought up and considered, and after care- ful contemplation and weeks of earnest practice, Homer Cornell and the several act chairmen were ready to present the Vaudeville. The class of '32 staged one of the most entertaining and original eight act shows ever undertaken by a previous third year group. A unique part of the Junior Vaudeville was a prologue given by a group of singers, featuring JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS ,Q ,..

The Class of '32, a song writen by Homer Cornell, Vaudeville Chair- man. Then in the month of May came the delight of all juniors-the Junior par y. There are many projects which the juniors have undertaken that are not obvious to the general onlooker, but all go to make up the attitude of the class as a whole. When the Parent-Teachers Association pur- chased a new curtain for the stage of Caleb Mills Hall, the junior class offered to lend a helping hand by contributing a sum of money. The Shortridge Blu-e Book, a publication which is given to every incoming freshman each year as a guiding hand, is another expenditure to which the class of '32 voted money. On Friday, May 22, Miss Minnie Lloyd, sponsor of the Shortridge chapter of the National Honor Society, announced that the following juniors had been elected to membership in the society: Bert Brayton, LeRoy Breunig, Jean Brown, William Burich, Betty Davenport, Charles Feibleman, Jeanne Helt, Agnes Hinkle, Charles Johnson, Lois LeSau1nier, Rosalind Rainey, Charlotte Schmidt, Warren Shearer, Robert Smith, Jean Southard, Mary Jane Steeg, Mary Vance Trent, and Helen Zitzlaff. The juniors have proved themselves a worthy group and have been constantly contributing to the high standard of the school. -Nelson Kauffman JUST A CABARET The gym doors, thrown open on Wednesday, May 20, at 2:30 o'clock, revealed to the eager eyes of inquisitive, uninvited freshmen, sophomores, seniors, and even the most staid faculty members, a sight unfamiliar to Shortridge. What! A cabaret! Horrified glances, swift whispered re- marks, swifter and less whispered retorts, commented on the gym, resplendent with elaborate class colors. Crepe paper viding a resting place for popular dance floor. The Whose rhythmical music, and suitable decorations of blue and gold, the and balloons were everywhere. Chairs, pro- all those at the party, surrounded the ever- orchestra, Bob Ellsworth's Royal Syncopators, sweet yet peppy, brought many couples to their feet, was on a platform. After the class had assembled, entertainment reigned king. An interesting chorus of boys dressed as girls sent everyone into peals of laughter. Members of the class, giving both song and dance numbers, received much hearty applause. The punch bowls proved very popular, almost too popular, and when the cookies were displayed-! Con- fetti was provided for those watching, and this added much to the color and fun of the occasion. Everyone's feet became hopelessly en- tangled, but no one seemed to mind. Gaiety remained supreme from the time the doors were open until the last strains of the music faded away. As the dancers reluctantly left the floor, the party was declared a success by all. The chairmen and members of the various committees to whom credit is due are Katherine Morris, chairman, Dan O'Brien, Rosalind Pugh, Heath Compton, Pauline Judd, Bob Thompson, Mary Katharine Mangus, Frederick Overman, Jean Boling, Charles Feibleman, Marian Ballinger, and George Home, members of the social committeeg Nelson Kauffman, chairman, Jean Brown, Harry Rominger, Marjorie Krull, Joe Rothbard, Marian Ballinger, Barbara Harrison, Robert Elliott, and Agnes Hinkle, members of the decorations committee. -Agnes Hinkle THE JUNIOR VAUDEVILLE On the afternoon and evening of March 28, Caleb Mills Hall was the scene of the Junior Vaudeville, when the class of '32 added a page or two of glorious history to the records of our Alma Mater. The first rise of the curtain revealed the scenes of Jean Elizabeth Bol- ing's fraternity dance act, The Blind Date. Miss Hope Bedford spon- sored this act. Touching the heartstrings of the crowd, Peggy Jones presented Ro- mance in Spain with Mr. Walter Geisler as sponsor. Bernice Showers' and Thelma Roller's Danse Aristocratic proved to be an excellent presentation of clever dances. This was sponsored by Mrs. Mary Dye Beach. Homer Cornell's Petite Musicalej' sponsored by Mr. Joel Hadley, gave deserved credit to our Vaudeville Chairman. The presentation of Futuristic Follies by Bettie Sue Wooling exacted credit and praise for a Wealth of dance talent. Mrs. Jessamine B. Fitch sponsored this act. Mrs. Jean McCormick sponsored Rosalind Pugh's unusual feature, Dark Moments. It was an excellent dark face production. Hollywood Scandals, the act winning second prize, was well-produced by Jean Spikelmier and Susan Hill with Miss Beatrice Yates spon- sormg. But especial honor, and incidentally the twenty-iive dollar prize, went to Katherine Morris's Winning production, A Wedding Reception in the Gay Ninetiesf' Miss Dorothy Peterson acted as sponsor and Mr. George Lipps coached this act. The title of the act discloses the plot. The clever acting of the leaders, the support of the rest of the cast, and the attractive old-fashioned costumes were favorable factors in its winning. Song and dance constituted most of the act. Members of the winning presentation were Katherine Morris, Charles Darko, George Home, William Spicklemire, Jeanne Helt, Heath Compton, Leone Meyer, George Adams, Marjory Krull, William Dunne, Betty Kalleen, Jack Strickland, THE WINNING ACT ' First row fLeft to rightb Betty Kalleen.

The winning actors repeated their presentation for the City Hospital and celebrated their victory with a dinner-dance at the Meridian Hills Country Club. Much honor was linked with the receiving of the individual act- ing prizes, which were presented to Homer Cornell and to Katherine Morris. Homer was especially worthy, not only for his superior acting, but for the vast part he, as chairman, played in putting over the show. Katherine was deserving because of the unique burlesquing of Oh Promise Me and for her dancing in A Wedding Reception in the Gay Ninetiesf' The assisting staff of the vaudeville, which worked in splendid co- operation with the vaudeville chairmen, was composed of the following members: Bill Gordon, Stage Manager, John Tuck, Property Manager, Warren Atkinson and Frank Fitch, Properties, Erle Robinson, Curtain, Mary Anne Russe, chairman, and Helen Root, assistant, Publicity, Program, William Burich, Business Manager, John S. Matthews, manager, Robert Smith, assistant, Ticket Sales, Dick Maxwell, Stage Orchestra, Mr. Will Wise, Pit Orchestra, Pauline Judd, Captain of Ushers, Francis Sonday, Stage Technician, Richard Hoover, Stage Mechanician, Joe Hesselgrave and Dick Stanley, Stage Committee, and Dan O'Brien, Master of Ceremonies. Helen Root, Rebecca Blackley, Dorothy Young, Jean Brown, Mary Alice Jackson, Jane Rogers, Eunice Speer, Mary Frances Mitchell, Char- lotte Schmidt, Marian Ballinger, Jane Crawford, Mary Jane Steeg, Ruth Louise Curtis, Dorothy Jane Huff, and Virginia Simpson assisted Pauline Judd in ushering. Interest and competition were aroused in selecting a class song and a cover for the program of the Vaudeville. A contest was held, open to all juniors, to submit their ideas. According to the decisions of judges, Homer Cornell's song and Rosalind Pugh's drawing were selected to represent the class of '32. Contrary to the usual custom, the decision of the best act was made by popular vote, and the decision for the individual actors was made by a selected committee. The former was a successful method of obtain- ing the popular opinion of the best act. For the iirst time in Shortridge history, the juniors staged a grand finale as a conclusion for their show. All the members of every act were assembled on the stage, and they danced a chorus step and sang the junior song amid the throwing of confetti. It was a grand finale! A teaser for the Vaudeville was presented in the auditorium several days before the Vaudeville. Bits of a number of acts were given. The ticket sales and the advertisments in the program netted a profit for the class. A summary of the show draws the conclusion that it was a grand suc- cess. The credit goes especially to Homer Cornell, chairman, to Mrs. Nell Merrick Thomas and Mr. Joel Hadley, to the vaudeville staff, and the participants in the acts. To all these-congratulations and Here's a cheer for the Juniors! -Jeanne Helt 4414 I 4444 4' ' 1- ' jg f 4 .--XL444 . 44 4 W- I . , S4 N , 4, -4 44 4i 'f, 4 Q ',444 1' ' 4 4 'WQ444' 4 4444'4'4W4 4 'l444 MIM 4+ 4 44, 4 ' 4 4,1 . .. 4 , . 4 1 F: 444 4 4,4 'I' 45 41, 4 H 44' ' 'n , 4 4 4 'V 1 '4 rn 'MP ' 1 44' !4-.:..-J 4 44 ' 'W qi 4 4 xl 'wr ti , H , ,W 4 4444 gp g V l Q 4.5.

TRIBUTES T0 MISS LAURA DONNAN As a part of the Lincoln's birthday program, given before the school in Caleb Mills Hall on Wednesday, February ll, memor- ial exercises were held for Miss Laura Donnan. The time was especially appropriate, inasmuch as Miss Donnan was an ardent admirer of our greatest American and exemplified in her own life the principles of democracy for which he stood. Tributes to Miss Donnan were given by Mr. Buck, her principal, and by two devoted pupils, Mr. Isidore Feibleman, Indianapolis attorney, and Miss Mary Pratt, teacher of English in Shortridge High School. Mr. Buck's tribute is given in full, the others, in part. Miss Donnan's life was devot- ed to the youth of Indianapolis. MISS LAURA DONNAN She belongs to that great group of teachers of the past that gave the schools of Indianapolis a national reputation. She was in many respects a remarkable woman. She had the vision of a prophet, long before great causes became popular, she espoused them. Her influence on the characters of the youth that came under her instruction was one of the most powerful elements of her success as a teacher. This influence on her pupils was not transitory, it lasted for life. A man who was her student many years ago said recently that he couldn't think of doing anything ignoble without asking himself the question as to what Miss Donnan would think if he did it. The reward that came to her in her life's work came as a great fortune, not in dollars, but in the enriched lives and ennobled char- acters of those whom she taught, and in their gratitude and appre- ciation of her and her unyielding support of the good and true in life. -George Buck And to you, a generation who knew her not, this is the loving tribute of those who knew her. Born in historic times, at Lincoln's feet She sat and learned that love of native land, That marked her days, that made her ever stand Serene and unafraid, so she could meet Her daily duties in the largest way. She loved all men of every race and creed, She studied, taught, inspired, and led, indeed, And in this service, young of heart, grew gray. From her bright torch, she kindled many a light And countless men and Women call her blest, And now this great soul has gone to rest, They carry on her battle for the right. They live their love of country on her plan And strive like her, the true American. -ISldOI'6 Feibleman She thought that all Shortridgers should have their school as their chief interest in life, as it was hers. She loved the old school. She had a tremendous personal following. Men and women through- out this city and nation will testify as to her influence. She insisted on orderly behavior, obdience to authority, and truth. She had little use for cynics, shirkers, and hedgers. She loved vigorous, energetic stu- dents, regardless of their creed, or color, or social connections. Her life from birth to death was a lesson to us all in patriotism, in -democracy, in intellectual honesty, and in the effort to release young people from some of the artiiicialities with which they are handicapped. -Mary Pratt THE SOCIAL COMMITTEE The Shortridge Social Committee was organized in September, 1929, at the suggestion of Mr. Buck for the purpose of arranging occasional informal school parties. The sponsor is Miss Pratt. The executive committee is: John Beeson Dave Harter Robert Ellsworth Bob Jackson George Fuller John Ludlum John Hair Mary Anne Russe General group-Frank Abbott, Warren Atkinson, Marian Ballinger, George Blackwell, Jean Brown, Shiela Brown, Betty Browning, John Black, Virginia Carr, Caroline Coffin, Betty Conder, Fred Crostreet, William Dillon, Bertha Louise Drane, David Duthie, Bill Dunne, Jane Gent, Bill Gordon, Barbara Haines, Bill Hammerstadt, Jack Harrison, Shannon Hughes, Charles Hagedon, Robert Humphreys, Janet J aqua, Virginia Lease, Mary Luten, Bob Moore, Leona Meyer, Devon Nolen, Mary Elizabeth Pell, Harriett Renick, Helen Robinson, Bob Sutherlin, Edna Swetland, Dick Thompson, Alice Tinney, Bud Underwood fannouncerj, Marie Alice Zaring. Members of the orchestra which plays for the parties are Robert Ellsworth, director, Lowell Barnes, Charles Clary, Robert Clark, Bud Meyers, Joel Inman, Edward Meyer, Tom Keller, Lowell Monroe, Robert Wilkins, John Reavis. DATES OF PARTIES 1930-31 October 27, 1930 December 12, 1930 January 30, 1931 March 13, 1931 May 8, 1931 -Mary Ann Russe l l THE COURT, A LIVING TRIBUTE Of all the tributes that are ever paid, there is one that is the most beautiful, the most sacred of all others, the tribute of living things. To plant a tree in honor of a man is the most beautiful tribute you can pay him. Life-life for people to see and enjoy! What is more perfect? The students of Shortridge are now building the court as a lasting tribute to the school. Ever since Shortridge reached its new home, plans and work were begun to make the court, one of beauty. Students have even brought shoe boxes filled with rich dirt to make it possible for plants to grow where formerly there was only gravel. Now the court is no longer a dismal hole into which tired people stare. It has become a place which intrigues the eye and invites the feet to enter, a tribute to our school which will live and last for many years. Much work has been done by the students of the biology depart- ment. The larger boys gave freely of their time hauling dirt in wheel- barrows and spading vigorously to prepare the holes for the Lombardy poplars, while the girls helped with the planting. The beautiful plan for the arrangement of this court was made by Miss Elizabeth Rawls of the botany department, and was approved and completed by Mr. Lawrence Sheridan. The Fine Arts Association made it possible for dreams of a beautiful court to come true. By careful planning and saving, this association changed the pennies and nickels given by the students of Shortridge into a vision of beauty. The court is to be restful and yet colorful. The expanse of grass, the pool With its lilies, the background of shrubs and trees will make a picture to delight the eye. There will be something blooming every season of the year. In Winter, there will be berries for the hungry birds, and it is hoped that many Will find their Way into this quiet spot where food and water as well as shelter will be provided. This tribute of living things will stand as a pleasant remembrance of the love and Work spent in beautifying the Shortridge Court. -Nan Elizabeth Reasoner THE VERGILIAN PAGEANT The Vergilian pageant was presented by the Latin department be- fore the student body October 15, 1930, and on the following Friday for the classical division of the State Teachers' Association. Miss Anna M. Claybaugh, who has sponsored a number of beautiful pageants, planned and directed this celebration in commemoration of Vergil's two thousandth birthday. The scenes of the pageant were The Apple of Discord, The Decision of Paris, Paris at the Court of Menelaus, The Fall of Troy, in which appeared the wooden horse, The Wanderings of Aeneas, Dido and Aeneas, The Athletic Games, and The Journey Through the Under- world. No expense was spared in procuring appropriate scenery and costumes to make the pageant elaborate and beautiful. The cast included approxi- mately one hundred fifty persons, chosen from the Latin department. Students of the Vergil classes who sponsored the various acts were: Julie Baker, Mary Alice Norris, Anne DeCroes, Bob Sutherlin, Walter Myers, Winifred Jean Loudon, Katherine Morris, Don Coffin, Frances Shaw, Martha Jane Bannister, Caroline Coliin, Bud Underwood, Martha Rose Scott, and Mildred Grayson. -Mildred Grayson THE SHORTRIDGE PHOTOGRAPHERS Shortridge has been fortunate again this year in having among the faculty two fine photographers, Mr. Grubbs and Mr. Siemers, both of whom are experts in this line. After much study they began photography in a small way in the school physics laboratory. In the last two years, their services have been in such demand that their hobby has extended until now they supply all photographs of the various school groups with pictures for the Annual. The money charged for these pictures goes into a photographic fund for the expenses of the apparatus. During the past year, the technical knowledge of these two men, and the high grade apparatus which they use have combined to ' form an excellent means by which. the deeds of Shortridge, especially in the line of athletics, may be permanently recorded. Complete equip- ment necessary for enlarging and toning photographs rounds out the department and adds to the sense of pride with which Shortridge views the generous services of Mr. Siemers and Mr. Grubbs. -Eugene Willson H. H. SIEMERS and R. C. GRUBBS THE WASHINGTON TOUR Under the leadership of Mr. Paul Seehausen, of the history depart- ment, approximately one hundred fifty Shortridge students began five glorious days of pleasant associations and sight seeing on Sunday, March 29, on the spring vacation tour to Washington. Parents and friends gathered at the Union Station with good wishes for the tourists. Annapolis was the first main stop. Here the party visited St. Anne's Church, St. John's College, the old State Capitol building, containing the historic room where General Washington resigned his military commis- sion, and the Naval Academy, where the Shortridgers witnessed a drill. While in Washington the Shortridge group stayed at the Arlington and the Lee House. Into the two days there was crowded sight-seeing, which proved to be one thrill after another. The first point of interest visited was the Capitol building, with its beautifully decorated rotunda, Senate Chamber, Hall of the House of Representatives, Gold Room and the Pres- ident's Room. The beautiful Congressional Library, with its great store of historically interesting things, was also visited. One afternoon was made delightful by a bus trip to the Lincoln Me- morial, followed by a boat ride down the Potomac to Mount Vernon. On the return by bus, stops were made at Arlington National Cemetery and Christ Church at Alexandria. Through the influence of State Represen- tative Louis Ludlow, the Shortridge group was permitted to see parts of the White House not ordinarily open to the public. Leaving Washington Wednesday evening, re-living the tour in memory and discussion, the party reached home Thursday noon, tired, but well pleased with the crusade for culture. -Marian Ballinger THE SHORTRIDGE PRINTING CLASS One of the most recent additions to the already extensive curriculum of Shortridge, is the class in printing and industrial arts course under the direction of Mr. O. A. Miller. The prime object of this course is not to make a printer of every pupil, but to sufficiently instruct them in printing and allied arts that they may speak with definite knowledge of them in later life. By the second semester of its existence, the class had gained five times its original size. Printing Class Topics, a paper the size of the Shortridge Daily Echo, is fre- quently written and printed by the class. The printing course has proved of great value to the students, for along with the printing instruction, students are' getting an English, journalism, math, and science course combined. Mr. Miller and his assistants have worked hard also in the production of the Annual and Christmas Echo. The entire printing of these publications is carried on in the Shortridge Print Shop. -Arnold Royer O. A. MILLER MRS. BROWN 'S LECTURES During this school year Shortridge students have been instructed and entertained by the interesting lectures of Mrs. Demarchus Brown on her world-wide travels, taking us to a number of British possessions, which she has portrayed with much vividness. She has told of the silent beauty and mysteries of the Taj Mahal, the weird religious ceremonies of the Hindoos, the growing civilization of Australia, and the fascination of both barbaric and civilized Africa. Her monthly lectures have been made possible through the generosity of an alumnus who modestly withholds his name. To have provided such wonderful treats, he must surely know the student mind and realize that all education does not come through books. -Margaret Schwab .

This was the second time that any Shortridge contestant had ever won the State Oratorical Contest. 1 'Plopper won his way to the state contest by Winning a zone meet on 4,1 Rx., VW .1 Nr . .

This victory advanced him to the State Contest, which Was held at Gary on April 24, where Plopper defeated five other contestants. His subject was, The Power of the People Under the Con- stitution. After a set speech which was six minutes in length, the contestants spoke extemporaneously for four minutes on subjects pertaining to the Constitution. By winning this, Plopper won S250 and the right to enter the Regional meet. On May 15 at Springfield, Plopper took second place in the Regional contest in competition with seven other participants. It was a close second, and under the rulings of last year, Plopper would have won. However, this year the rulings were changed, allowing William J. Don- ahue, of Herkimer, New York, to grab the premier laurels. Charles Feibleman, a junior, won his way to the iinals of the State Discussion Contest on April 10, in a contest at Washington High School of this city, where he defeated two others in a discussion of the chain stores. Feibleman favored the system of chains. In the afternoon of April 24 at Bloomington, thirteen speakers were entered in the state contest and elimination trimmed the field to six for the evening grindf That night Feibleman took second place, with Tom Proctor grabbing the first prize. Second is the highest that any Short- ridger has ever gained in the Discussion Contest, and, with Plopper's record breaking second in the Regional of the Oratorical, 1931 was most suc- cessful in speaking activities. Both Plopper and Feibleman were mem- bers of the Tri-State team which downed Walnut Hills, Plopper being the captain. Much of the credit for these successes is due to our es- teemed debating coach, Mr. Otto. -Warren W.

Second row: Warren Shearer, James Orr, James Funkhouser fcaptainl, Cleo Shullenberger Calternatei. This year, for the second consecutive time, the Shortridge Tri-State debaters Won the home debate and lost the one away from home in the triangular league with Walnut Hills High School, of Cincinnati, and Louis- ville Male High School. The question for debate was, Resolved, That the Several States Should Enact a System of Compulsory Unemployment In- surance. The negative team, staying at home, downed Walnut Hills in a close contest in Caleb Mills Hall Friday evening, April 17, by a vote of two to one. Curtis Plopper was the captain of the winning team, and thus brought to a close his third successful year as a Tri-State debater. Charles Feibleman and Charles Johnson were the other two speakers on the team. Edward Humston was the alternate. Four days after this triumph, the affirmative team, accompanied by William N. Otto, debating coach, journeyed to Louisville, and was sent back on the shorter end of another 2-1 decision after a hot debate. James Funkhouser, captain, James Orr, Warren Shearer, and Cleo Shullenberger, alternate, were the members of the team. As Louisville lost to Walnut Hills at Cincinnati, the year ended with each school winning one debate and losing one, which allowed Walnut Hills to retain a one debate margin over Shortridge. This lead was gained last year in the iirst debate of the third iive-year contract among the three schools. Three more years re- main before the permanent possession of the cup for this term is definite- ly decided. Shortridge won the first two cups. Tryouts for places on the teams Were held immediately after the Christmas holidays, with fifteen boys entering the competition. As Plop- per was the only member of last year's team remaining, there was an un- usually hard fight for positions on the team although the number trying out was not as great as that of the previous year. The question for the tryouts was, Resolved, That the Volstead Act Should Be Modified. The boys were allowed to take either side of the question in their constructive speeches, but were required to refute an affirmative speech delivered by Franklin Seidensticker. Much of the credit for the large turnout at the home debate was due to Franklin Seidensticker, the business manager, and the success of the teams was due to our fine and able debating coach, Mr. Otto. Prospects for next year are good, as Feibleman, Johnson and Shearer are again eligible for positions on the team. Several good finds were also dis- covered in the Boys' Debating League this year. -Warren W.

The 1931 Girls' Debating teams of Shortridge High School have had a most successful season this year, Winning their two scheduled debates with the Bedford team and the team from Wiley High School of Terre Haute. The three schools in the Triangular League are Bedford High School, Wiley of Terre Haute, and Shortridge. The question selected for the league debates this year was Resolved, That the Present System of Installment Buying of Consumption Goods Should be Condemned. After a session of close competition and tryouts, the teams were se- lected by three judges, Mr. William N. Otto, debating coach, Miss Minnie Lloyd, of the history department, and Mr. C. C. Shoemaker, of the English department. The girls of the Shortridge aiiirmative team, Jeanne Helt, Julia Ann Hamill, Mildred Bacon, captain, and Mary Jane Sheerin, alter- nate, met the Bedford team in Caleb Mills Hall on April 9. Very fine rebut- tal, given by all three Shortridge girls, decided the debate in their favor with a 2-1 decision. One of the chief purposes of these debates is to promote friendship between the schools, a feeling which was very evident at the lovely luncheon which the Shortridge home team gave at the Spink-Arms Hotel for the Bedford girls following the contest. Miss Virginia Fout of the English department attended the luncheon with the Shortridge girls. The negative team for Shortridge with the speakers Mary Ellen Voyles, Evelyn Pruitt, captain, Virginia Habig, and Virginia Casmire, alternate, opposed the Terre Haute girls at Wiley High School in Terre Haute on April 13. The Wiley debaters were most gracious hostesses to the Short- ridgers and took them to visit St. Mary-of-the-Wood, as well as enter- taining them at dinner. Miss Reeta Clark, of the English department, ac- companied the team to Terre Haute. The judges each graded all the girls on the three points of delivery, argument, and rebuttal, and then added the averages. The Shortridge team, leading by a few points, won a 3-0 decision. Both teams were encouraged to win by their mighty mottoes, Beat Bedford Badly and Terrify Terre Haute. Two practice debates were held between the Shortridge teams before they met their opponents. The teams regret that Mildred Bacon, Virginia Habig, Evelyn Pruitt, and Virgi- nia Casmire, who are graduating seniors, will not be at Shortridge to debate next year. Mr. Otto has coached three winning teams out of the four and two winners in state contests this year. He is very much pleased with their success and feels that this has been the best debating record in the his- tory of Shortridge High School. -Mary Ellen Voyles L..- A A ,V ef ' f ?,,.Lf'fZ, F-A., - J., X, K 4 THE BOYS' DEBATING L CUE l ' , lm., .

The Shortridge Boys' Debating League, conducted by William N. Otto, debating coach, enjoyed a successful year, with two tournaments held each semester in which valuable material was brought to light for future debating teams. The league, really an organized class, studied the pre- parations and methods used in debating and then put them into practice in actual competition. Extemporaneous debates and practice in delivery and rebuttal were included in the course. . Oflicers of the league during the fall semester Were: Charles Feible- man, president, Homer Cornell, vice-president, and Charles Johnson, sec- retary. Officers for the spring semester Were Frank Fehsenfeld, presi- dentg Henry Marks, vice-presidentg Robert Marks, secretary, and Franklin Seidensticker, business manager. Parliamentary procedure was likewise a matter of course. During the first semester, subjects on which prepared debates were held included Philippine Independence, the Jury System, Volstead Act, Six- year Term for President, and the High Protective Tariff. Extemporaneous debates were given on the Chain Store and Compulsory Automobile Insur- ance questions. Members of the league at this time were Homer Cornell, Frank Fehsenfeld, Charles Feibleman, Dick Gaus, Don Hadley, Fletcher Humphrey, Charles Johnson, Robert Marks, James McClure, Erle Robin- son, Joseph Rothbard, Arthur Sachs, Warren Shearer, and Byron Weil. Seven teams were formed, and in the forthcoming tournament, Shearer and McClure emerged triumphant. Members of the league not participating in the debate of the day served as judges, and close contests featured. The second tourney brought Shearer and Rothbard against Johnson and Gaus in the final round and left them there when time adjourned the hostilities. The second semester's organization was made up of boys of less de- bating experience but an equal amount of vigor, so that snappy, scrappy debates were on deck. Among the topics discussed were the Five- Day Week, the Jury System, America's Entrance into the League of Nations, Recognition of Soviet Russia, and Abandonment of the Monroe Doctrine. The spring semester members were Jerome Blickman, Gordon Cohn, Wil- liam Cooling, John Ewbank, Frank Fehsenfeld, Raymond Goodman, Wil- liam Hendricks, Halston Johnston, James Johnson, Juliam Kiser, William Klinger, William Koehne, Henry Marks, Robert Marks, Arthur Sachs, Franklin Seidensticker, and Byron Weil. By request, Mr. Otto judged the debates. Cooling and Cohn were champions of the league in the first tournament. The subsequent second one was still anybody's game at the time of this writing. Members of the league received valuable competitive experience addi- tionally in tryouts for the debating teams. The Boys' Debating League, a club in a class, and a classical club, flourished during the year 1930-31. -Charles B.

Third Row: Mary Vance Trent, Marian Ballinger, Peggy Cole, Mildred Bacon, Mary Jane Steeg, Jo Ann Buskirk. For the last eight years the Girls' Debating League has nourished in Shortridge under the direction of Mr. William N. Otto, head of the Eng- lish department. During the past year the membership of the league has been increased to approximately twenty girls. The increase was made as the result of recommendations made by English teachers. There has been closer cooperation between the English department and the Girls' Debating League, and the school as a whole has manifested much inter- est in the work of the organization. As is customary, debate tournaments were conducted each semester of the past year for which the girls were divided into teams of two members each. During the year the following subjects were debated: A Department of Education with a Secretary in the President's Cabinetg The Abolishment of the Jury System, Cancellation of the War Debtsg The Adoption of the Five-Day Week, Uniform Marriage and Divorce Laws, The Entrance of the United States into the League of Nations. In addi- tion to these set debates the league members have delivered informal speeches on Installment Buying, Unemployment Insurance, and Women in Industry. Throughout the year the girls have studied manner of delivery, duties of the affirmative and negative speakers, and methods of refutation. As a practice in delivery, poems, current events, and selections from Shake- speare have been given. The speakers and alternates of the varsity teams which debated with Bedford High School and Wiley High School of Terre Haute have been members of the Girls' Debating League during the past year. Both of these debates were won by Shortridge. Other members of the league acted as ushers for the Bedford debate and for the Tri-State debate with Cincinnati held here. The following girls held oflices in the league during the fall semester: Mildred Bacon, president, Virginia Casmire, vice-president, Jeanne Helt, secretary. Officers elected for the spring term were: Jeanne Helt, presi- dentg Agnes Hinkle, vice-president, Margaret Anne Clippenger, secretaryg Betty Kalleen and Mary Vance Trent, business managers. Mr. Otto and the members believe that the prospect of the Girls' De- bating League for the coming year is exceedingly bright. Several of the girls on this year's varsity team will be eligible for similar positions next year. Due to the increased number of members and the growth of inter- est in debating, next year should be one of the most successful in the history of the league. -Mary Vance Trent THE MINSTREL AND SUNDAY CONCERTS On February 28, 1931, at 8:00 p.m., the curtain rose on the first act of Swanee River Nights, Minstrel Show of Shortridge High School. This minstrel revealed unusual talent and vivacity. Down South from UShow Boat opened the programme of Negro Spirituals and dance novelties. A chorus of boys and girls composed the group of dancers and singers. Tap dancing, by Jimmy Willingham, a number by the girls' octette, 'Caprice Viennvois by Kreisler, with words by Maxine Peters, and Dance of the French Dolls followed. Oh, Dem Golden Slippers was sung by Ray Retterer, soloist, with the chorus. A tap dance to There's Religion in Rhythmj' by Milton Heller and Bernice Showers, and chorus, completed the first act successfully. Leone Meyers danced during the intermission. Act II took on a quieter air as 'iNightfall by Liszt was sung by the girls' quartette, followed by De Coppah Moon by Shelley. An inter- esting number Was 'iTow Whit for Who, an owl dance with Lois LeSaulnier and Charlotte Sputh, directed by Miss Ada B. Crozier. Wilton Clary, soloist, introduced a group of spirituals with Hear Dem Bells. The former were sung alternately by the girls' and boys' oc- tettes. Jac Broderick and Marietta Coval continued the program with a charming minuet. On Revival Day, by Razof, with Milton Heller and the entire ensemble furnished the Grand Finale. Throughout the per- formance, end maids and men gave cause for many laughs with jokes and entertaining antics. They were assisted by Francis Sonday, the In- terlocutor, who played his part exceedingly well. Under the able direction of Mrs. Jean McCormick, a minstrel has been produced for the past three years. It has now become a Short- ridge tradition. The Student Council has assumed the sponsorship of the Minstrel, making it more than ever a school project. Funds from the Minstrel go for the organ and the Shortridge music department. Mrs. McCormick's Boys' Choir, Girls' Chorus, and Voice Class cooperated in putting over this show. Another interesting event of the musical year at Shortridge was the Sunday afternoon concerts, given by the Band and Orchestra. On March 1, 1931, at 3:00 p.m. the Band, under the direction of Mr. J. W. Wain- wright, gave several interesting numbers at a concert at Caleb Mills Hall. The collection received went for equipment for the Band. Under the direction of Mr. Wainwright, the Shortridge Band has progressed remark- ably and is recognized as one of the leading high school bands. On March 14, 1931, the Orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Will F. Wise, presented a program. The Sunday concerts were greatly enjoyed and it is hoped that they will be continued. -Jean Soehner 1 THE BOYS' GLEE CLUB THE MIXED CHORUS THE ORCHESTRA THE BOYS' CHOIR THE GIRLS' GLEE CLUB U 'EB '1 ix gy f 's 24 T B 2 A if ..

BASKETBALL The remarkable record of the basketball team of 1930-31 will remain stamped indelibly upon the archives of Shortridge as the outstanding achievement of the year of '31. Coach Kenneth Peterman, in his first year as Blue net mentor, led the Blue Devils through a successful season with a record of twelve victories, five defeats, and one tie. S sweaters were awarded to Arthur Gage, forward, Marvin Heck- man, forward, Herman Berns, center, Ralph Brafford, guard, and Lor- rein Bulleit. Letters were also awarded to Robert Brown, Robert Suth- erlin, Robert De Wees, Spurgeon Johnson, and George Underwood. These are the boys who carried the banners of Shortridge through the sectional, the regional, and into the state finals for the first time. The team opened the season on Friday, November 21, with a 29-14 victory over Greenwood. In the next game, the team defeated Greenfield by a 28-19 score. The team next journeyed to Marion, where they de- defeated the Giants by a 23-18 count. On the next week-end, the Blue Devils tripped Elwood by a 20-9 margin in a rather listless game. Shortridge defeated Tipton 27-12 and then trounced Brownsburg 34-22 on the following evening in the home gym. Bedford led Shortridge at the half by a score of 16-12, but, led by Art Gage, who scored 14 points, the Blue Devils scored in the last few seconds, after breaking up a Bed- ford stall to win by a 22-21 margin before a jammed gym. On the next evening, the team handed Mooresville a 27-13 drubbing, to make it eight consecutive victories for Coach Peterman's proteges. Special busses were chartered to carry fans to the Martinsville- Shortridge game in the Artesian City, where more than 150 Shortridge rooters witnessed the thrilling triple-overtime battle, which ended in a tie score of 22-22. Weary and exhausted after the terrific battle with the Curtismen, the team dropped a 22-12 decision to a rangy and clever pass- ing crew from Seymour. The City Tourney took place in the following week. t'Rene Bulleit, stellar Blue guard, was out of the lineup because of illness. The team, after drawing a first round bye, lost a heart-breaking 17-16 decision to Tech in the second round. Following the tourney, there were two de- feats, one by Cathedral 19-14, and the other by Rushville 17-15, before the Blue Devils gained their winning stride to defeat Manual 22-18. Two more losses, to Peru 22-17 and Shelbyville 24-23, were followed by a win over Garfield of Terre Haute before Shortridge wound up the season's games with a 33-18 victory over the Washington Continentals in the home gym.

SECTIONAL On the first day of the Sectional, Shortridge met and defeated Broad Ripple, after a terrific battle. The Diederichmen presented a stubborn defense which forced the Blue to resort to last minute tactics to win. On Saturday morning, New Bethel provided the opposition. This game was featured by the sensational sniping of Art Gage, Blue forward, who collected six long range buckets to help defeat New Bethel 24-15. In the afternoon, Shortridge defeated Manual by a score of 25-20, after trailing four points at the half. With the brilliant Nate Regenstrief leading the Red and White attack, the battle was nip and tuck all the way. In the final game on Saturday night, the team displayed an offensive strength that swept the Southport Cardinals completely off their feet. The score at the half was 24-10 for Shortridge with a final score of 37-23. REGIONAL On the next Saturday, the team travelled to Anderson to vie for regional honors with Alexandria, Tipton, and Danville. In the afternoon, the Blue Devils displayed a powerful second half attack to win by a com- fortable margin. In the final game on Saturday night, the team, after trailing at the half by one point, staged a last quarter rally to conquer Coach Orner's Alexandria quintet and win the right to compete in the State at the Butler Field House. STATE On the following Friday, Shortridge entered with the select sixteen for the first time in the history of I. H. S. A. A. basketball and played the state champion Washington Hatchets in the second game of the morning. Playing a iiawless brand of basketball, Coach Peterman's boys outplayed and outfought the Friddlemen to build up what seemed sure to be a winning margin only to have Dave Dejernet, incom- parable negro pivot man for Washington, score twice in the final thirty seconds of play to send the fighting Blue Devil crew down to a bitter but glorious defeat. Coach Kenneth Peterman has, in his first year at bas- ketball mentor at Shortridge, enjoyed sensational success. Peterman, with no better material at the start of the seas- on than is the usual case, developed for the first time in the history of Shortridge basketball, an outstanding Blue court team which swept through the Sectional and Regional and on to the State with brilliant success. It was Peterman who bought championship basketball to Shortridge and established the Blue Devil quintet in pow- erful basketball circles. Pete, as he is affectionately known to his boys, will T not only be remembered as the great net coach who took ' Shortridge to the State, but also as the man whose out- PETERMAN standing character and leadership will forever leave their imprint upon the boys under his supervision. FOOTBALL Although Shortridge failed to retain possession of the city football cup, the season of 1930 was a successful one for the Blue Devil gridders. Playing eleven scheduled contests, the Blue pigskin warriors, under the direction of Coach Alonzo Goldsberry, won eight games, lost one, and tied two. In a post-season benefit game, Shortridge lost to Cathedral by a 13-7 margin. . The following fourteen boys received their S sweaters: William Reed, Herbert Hays, William Baldwin, Max Mann, Harry Daniel, Manning Woods, Joe Azbell, Robert Hiatt, Joe Krebsbach, George Underwood, Joe Hesselgrave, Captain Lorrein Bulleit, Robert Stewart, and Captain-elect Phil Thompson. The squad journeyed to Shelbyville to open the gridiron season. While there was an obvious lack of polished playing, Shortridge pre- sented a rugged attack that conquered the Camels by a 32-14 score. On the following Friday, the team traveled to Sheridan and defeated 5 1 X . 5 . Line CLeft to rightbz Herman Berns, Harry Daniel, Max Mann, Herbert Hays.

Shortridge faced Cathedral in a night game at the Butler Bowl on the next Saturday evening and bat- tled to a 6-6 tie with the Irish. The next Friday, Shortridge met Broad Ripple at Shortridge field. The Blue Devils completely swamped the Diederichmen by a score of 58-6. Ripple's lone tally came on a long forward pass. The next week the Blue Devils traveled to Elwood and defeated the Tinplaters in a night game be a score of 13-6 before a large crowd. The next week, Shortridge played Clinton in the Butler Bowl in a night game. The two teams battled through four scoreless periods to a 0-0 tie. Antoninni, bulky Clinton star, led the strong Miner attack. In the next game, Shortridge was defeated 13-7 by Washington in a night game at Butler. A clever Continental backiield was too much for the Blue Devils. This was the first city series game Shortridge had lost in five years. Shortridge played Lebanon at Lebanon and won by a score of 13-6. Shortridge defeated Manual 19-0 in the second city series struggle on the Red and White field. Morton of Richmond invaded the Shortridge field and was completely crushed by a score of 53-0 when a perfectly functioning Blue Devil offensive swept the Red Devils off their feet. The Blue Devils rode roughshod to a triumph over Tech at the Butler Bowl by a score of 27-0. After being held to no score in the first half by an inspired Green and White eleven, the blue clad eleven unleashed a battering second half offensive which scored four times in the last two quarters of the game. Captain Rene Bulleit starred for Shortridge and accounted for' two touchdowns. Phil Thompson, Blue signal barker, also scored twice. East and Jackson were best for Tech. In a post-season charity clash at the Butler Bowl on Thanksgiving Day, Cathedral defeated Shortridge by a score of 13-7. About 10,000 fans braved the bitter cold weather to see the game. Bulleit and Mc- Creary were outstanding for Shortridge and Cathedral, respectively. S MEN'S CLUB The purpose of the Shortridge S Men's Club is to promote a spirit of fellowship and unity among the lettermen and to preserve Short- ridge athletic traditions. Life passes for all home athletic contests are issued to the members. Philip Thompson, captain-elect of the football team, and Bob De Wees, Blue hardwood star, were elected president and vice-president, respectively, to take the place next year of the retiring executives, George Underwood and Bob Stewart. The first annual S Men's dance was held June 6. First row fLeft to rightl: R. Sutherlin, P. Thompson L. Bulieit. Bud Under- wood, R. Stewart, J. Hesselgrave. Second row: R. Brown, B. Davis, J.

The Blue cinder-flingers won three and lost three meets. In the Sec- tional, the Blue Devils placed third, behind Tech and Warren Central, with a total of 23 5-6 points. On April 11, the team placed second in a triangular meet at Washington field, with Washington and Blooming- ton.

The Blue thinly clads defeated Newcastle 56-43 at the Trojan field. In the final meet of the year, Shortridge thumped Jefferson of Lafayette 58-41 in a dual meet at Shortridge field, where Alf Richardson, husky Blue weight man, hurled the twelve pound shot 44 feet 6 inches to break the record of 43 feet 6 inches set by Bill Rehm in 1929. In the sectional, the Blue Devils made a strong showing and scored 23 5-6 points to finish third, behind Tech and Warren Central.

There were various other events throughout the afternoon to en- tertain the crowd of 1500 students, among which were dances by the girls gym classes and pushmobile and wheelbarrow races. Art Gage supplied the motive power for the winning entrant in each of these two events. Tuesday Humphreys easily retained his title as pie-eating champion of the student managers for the third consecutive year. GIRLS' ATHLETICS RUBY HILL Left to right: Doris Koch, Lois LeSaulnier, Virginia Smith, Jeanne Spiegel. Charlotte Sputh. SWEATER GIRLS Five girls have received their Shortridge sweaters this year.

The Council is composed of twelve representatives. Five seniors and four juniors are elected to it by their organized classes. One freshman and two sophomore members are chosen by the Council from a list recom- mended by a faculty committee. Secretaries are appointed by the pres- ident to take charge of various Council projectsg namely, Publicity, Stu- dent Conduct, Student Projects, Finance, and Social Affairs. The faculty sponsors are Lt. Naylor and Mr. Hadley, who meet with the Council. Mr. Buck has kindly granted to the Council the use of his office, and the reg- ular meetings are held there every other Thursday at conference or at the eighth period. Several interesting projects have been undertaken by the Council during this year. It has sponsored parties and dances in the gym, and co- operated with the Parent-Teacher Association in selling the new Short- ridge stationery. The Council, having originated the plan, is responsible for the reservation of tables in the lunch room at the beginning of each semester. An open forum meeting was held in auditorium, at which the assembled student body were invited to voice their criticisms and sug- gestions for the greater welfare of Shortridge. The present officers are Curtis Plopper, president, Mary Frances Diggs, vice-president, and Betty Davenport, secretary. The other members are Mary Stewart Haines, Corliss Maxam, Bob Moore, Charles Feibleman, War- ren Shearer, Charles Trees, Lucy Ann Balch, Henry Nolting, and William Piel. -Betty Davenport.

This organization, which consists of the editors of the var- ious editions of the Daily Echo, meets once a week to discuss means by which the Echo may be improved. At present, the project of a journalism honor roll is under Way. It has been planned that the honor roll should be composed of the best ar- ticle each week, typical of different phases of Echo material. Another matter of interest is the fact that in the future, the Shortridge Echo may become a member of the national journalistic society, The Quill and Scroll.

Activites of the club vary widely in the Held of dramatic study. Along with talks on make-up, stage craft, and playwrights, programs usually include one or more short plays, many of which are dramatizations of famous stories, di- rected and presented by the members of the league themselves. Before Christmas, two members of the club assisted in the annual sale of Christmas seals, by presenting a play before various clubs. In January The Forfeit, a one-act play, was presented before the school with the following cast: Anne DeCroes, Esther Steup, Donald Arnold, Harry Thomas, and Richard Hoover, with Frank Fitch as stage manager.

Although attendance was not as large as in former years, the Short- ridge Senate, under the guidance of Mr. Sigler, enjoyed another suc- cessful year. The turbulent prohibition question provided a great deal of discussion at the weekly sessions of the club, but after all the smoke had cleared, the Senate was found to the a model dry organization and prohibition remained intact. Among the other bills considered by the youthful legislators were those concerning the Supreme Court, old-age pensions, unemployment insurance, and the independence of the Philippines. In addition to these, several less serious measures were introduced, chief among these being the famed resolution for the shav- ing of herbage Cgrassj. One of the high lights of the year was the Senate trial- After a close legal battle, the defendant, Arthur Sachs, was acquitted of a charge of receiving bribes from gangsters.

More than five hundred freshmen were admitted to the Roman State, donning the toga virilis at the annual celebration of the Liberalia in March. On this occasion, scenes from the life of Marcus Tullius Cic- ero Jr., from the time of his christening to the donning of the toga of manhood, were presented.

The purpose of the club is to perform such experiments in practi- cal chemistry as are not offered in the regular course of study. At the first meeting of the club, a constitution committee, consisting of Homer Cornell, chairman, and Bob Moore, assistant, was elected. Election of officers was the first big problem. Bob Moore attained the executive office, assisted by Mary Elizabeth Pell as vice-president, and Ed- ward Humston, secretary-treasurer. Officers for the spring semester are Homer Cornell, president, Mary Alice Norris, vice-president, Nelson Trusler, secretary-treasurerg and Ada Mozelle Miller, program chairman.

THE CHESS CLUB If one were to come up to Room 335 on Tuesday afternoon, one would nnd one of the most congenial and informal of Shortridge activities. Lovers of the great old game of chess meet on Tuesday's and with no formalities, indulge in their favorite pastime. There is no roll-call, no registered membership, and no dues except when necessity forces the club to buy new sets. One may see delight, surprise, and chagrin on the faces of the players, and although the older players are more thought- ful and quiet than the others, they are enjoying the game as much as the less experienced players, who are beginning to comprehend more of the beauty and inexhaustible art of chess. Sometimes during the meetings, Mr. Burton offers sage advice on the games. This interesting club was begun in the year 1926, when Mr. Carnahan introduced the game to the school. Later, the sponsorship fell to Mr. Burton, who is the present sponsor. The good players of the past who excelled in the yearly tournament were Enos Troyer, Harold Hon- derick, Fred Cretors, and Bob Southworth. This year has been a successful one, with several good players in it- James Henry Prescott is generally conceded to be the best, followed closely by Franklin Seiden- sticker. Other players of merit are Walter Myers, Ralph Honderick, Charles Walters, and several others. A weekly chess column is run in Tuesday's Echo by Charles Walters. -Charles Walters THE MYTHOLOGY CLUB .., Fe-. ..
