Every great advance in civilization has been the direct result of war. The gain in this war has been the downfall of autocracy. The service star in the flag of civil- ization is the New Democracy. A Autocracy had its birth among savages, where the chiefs had supreme rule. Notwithstanding the progress of the ages, autocracy has never lost its savage fangs. This war has not only bared those fangs, but has buried them under the ruins of fallen thrones. 'ljgi ,L W - ,nys , P13 I- ' 4 .6 M, - .1141 all I Q4--7 America lighted the torch, which after more than a century blazed into the ideal of the New Democracy. Why did the Pilgrims leave England? Because they were oppressed and they hungered for free- dom, their own freedom. Why does this great nation recall with pride its kinship to that little band? Because they based their government not upon might but upon justice and right. In the present war to what country was the appeal made by both friend and foe for deliverance from the monster war? It was not to an autocracy but to a great democracy. Still, with all democracy had accomplished, it failed to prevent this terrible war. But out of its horrors had been wrought the ideals, embodied in a new democracy. So great is the scope of the new democracy that to attempt its definition belittles expression. We may call it freedomg we may call it prayer, we may call it soul growthg we may call it chivalry of man to man. It is all these. It has been truly said, There is nothing quite so wonderful in human history as this spectacle of America taking the high place on the judgment seat of the nations, and taking it not by right of might but by might of right. The love of freedom implanted in every heart finds expression in a desire for a voice in government. This, democracy gives. The New Democracy gives much more. It must give equal rights and privileges to all. And let us sketch the preamble to this new bill of rights. We, the people of all the sovereign and self-determined states of the world, in order to prevent the recurrence of this world catastrophe, to establish justice, promote universal tranquillity, and to secure to ourselves and our posterity the blessings of liberty, do ordain and establish this Consti- tution for the United States of the world. The articles of this consti- tution are being drawn up at Versailles, and President Wilson has given to the body there sitting, the fourteen basic principles. One of this council's first tasks will be to satisfy the labor element. Labor, the basis of democracy, is a seething cauldron of discontent, expressed in strikes and riots. The Bolshevists, its I. W. W.'s, the 7 Spartacans, are all symptoms of a diseased body politic which needs the surgeon's lance. Labor makes unreasonable demands, but it has suffered much. The New Democracy demands that labor shall partic- ipate in the vast profits of capitalg that it shall sit down to the table of tempting things the world offersg that it shall share in all the precious offerings man has from the beginning greatly desired. But it shall share and not sit at the feast alone. Our New Democracy must in a word harmonize mercantile rela- tionship. It must give to brain, to brawn, to capital what each merits. This new ideal opposes secret diplomacy, advocates freedom of the seasg it-aims to make sacred and unbreakable the international rights of nations. It aims the carrying into practice the universal br0t1'1CI'l'l00d of mang its ultimate hope is a League of Nations. The New Democracy, if lived up to, will wield a greater power than the combined autocracies of the ages. America is to develop this ideal for the world. We have more resources at our command than any other nation. Our ever increasing populationg our great wealth: our abundance of material resourcesg our wonderful energy, or our so- called Yankee spirit, these powers have been given us not for our own aggrandizement, but for the betterment of the world. We can't go back to the selfish days e'er ever the war began: Our men have died on the battlefield for the rights of their fellowman. And if some shall whisper of narrow terms or wrangle for sordid gain, New tyrants shall shatter the peace we make and the dead shall have died in vain. We have fought and won a war. We have made a New Democ- racy. Our chosen messenger has carried our slogan across the seas. All the newly awakened peoples are chanting it. We hope that it may sink deeply into their souls and set the world free. -Elizabeth Barrere Dougherty. The Poet ofDemoc1'acy OETRY endures because it is integrally woven with man's real existence. It aspires to sustain the nobler part of QQ man during crises. It mirrors the life of the world. It , -' indirectly suggests the idea of democracy and the su- 'ig-i Jf premacy of the individual. Besides, poetry itself has be- come a democrat, a producer of Democrats. Richard Wagner tells us that the artist, poet and musician of the future is to be-the People. But who is to be the real poet of the S ',.,.-,-,.,,-4.--.-R-W: A .fwgw ir ,ff in, Y H t?-.-.,,.gZ-.,f-J,,..i? people, the ultimate expression of the right dualism of community and individual? Echoing from the uttermost parts of America come the two words: Walt Whitman. Reports show that Whitman was the poet most read by our lettered men in the trenches. Walt Whitman is the passionate idealization of world Democracy. He saw himself in all people and all people in himself. His theme as he defined it is: One's-self I sing-a simple, separate Person, Yet ut- ter the word Democratic, the word En-masse. Each one a different distinct individual and yet as a whole with the rest. Whitman's message is: I speak the password primeval g I give the sign of Democracy, and according to a poet interpreter it is Democ- racy, embracing all that is included in Liberty, Equality and Frater- nity. His liberty is the liberty of the whole individual. For him every Self is separate, eternal, perfect, and the Spirit of the Universe. He insists everything exists for the Individual. He resents all restraint that retards the development and expression of the Individual. In these stir- ring times we understand his vision. The soldier to-day in battle is at one with Whitman as never before. Whitman said there was nothing necessary to happiness but to live naturally and appreciate the joys all around us. He even spoke of death as soothing and delicate. He pictured it as a dark mother gliding with soft footsteps. So deeply has Whitman entered into the American soul that throughout this war a calm resignation marked the reconciliation with death by the mothers and fathers of the lads who died in service. Whitman stood for absolute equality for all men and for both sexes. All are equal and he is their bard. He sang for the divine average -the common people--healthy, honest, open-hearted men and women, and his passion was to level all up to their plane. Has this hope been accomplished in our great army? Let us see: the laborer's son and the heir of millions are rubbing elbows on the march. The servant is the master's superior oflicer. Whitman emphasized the fraternity side of democracy under com- radeship. His democracy made the free relationship between men more secure, so he said, than could lawyer or agreement on paper or force of arms. To Germany how sacred were her treaties? and how holy the body of another man-one of God's own creatures? But turn to our own men exercising that new chivalry of which Whitman writes. The soldier of democracy offered his life, not for his own country, not for his own people, but to protect the brothers, the sisters, the mothers, the fathers in those stricken lands over there. 9 Whitman's tutor in Democracy ultimately was war. His creed forbade his fighting. But as he lived and worked with the soldier in the hospital, or cheered him in the field, and as he wrote of him, there came to him war's deep meaning. As war had tutored him in Democracy, now Democracy tutors him in war. He fully conceived that war was forging the unity of the states. He studied closely the characteristics of his age-Lincoln's age. He knew the souls, passions, ideas and flame-like results. He studied Lincoln closely and caught the deep, subtle and indirect expres- sion reflected in the face of this greatest man of the people. He sang divinely of Lincoln's death. In a vision he saw the coffin of Lincoln carried through the whole country, greeted by the States as crape- veiled women, accompanied by the bareheaded, grief-stricken eloquent throng. He heard dirges, the tolling of bells, the sweet, solemn music of the organs in every church in the land. And surrounding all, a black cloud hanging as a pall over our whole nation. Yet here it did not end. There is another vision: A Phantom arose before me with distrustful aspect, Terrible in beauty, age, and power, The genius of poets of old lands, With finger pointing to many immortal songs, And menacing voice. 'What singest thou?' it saidg 'Know'st thou not there is but one theme for ever- enduring bards? And that is the theme of War, the fortune of battles, The making of perfect soldiers. ' Now we might say the years with Whitman take a great leap. It was the time of the Civil War. He had come to realize the meaning of war, the terrible necessity of the last war against war. Again the veil lifts-and shows a vista of fifty years, and then he says: I see not America only, not only Liberty's nation, but other nations preparing, I see tremendous entrances and exits, new combina- tions, the solidarity of races, I see that force advancing with irresistible power on the world's stage, I see Freedom, completely arm'd and victorious and very haughty, with Law on one side and Peace on the other, A stupendous trio. I see men marching and countermarching by swift mil- lions, 10 n -xg 12 - , liffiixi- . e ea ,-, I see the frontiers and boundaries of the old aristocra- cies broken, I see the landmarks of European kings removed. Are all nations communing? is there going to be but one heart to the globe? Is humanity forming en-masse? for lo, tyrants trem- ble, crowns grow dim, The earth restive, confronts a new era. The perform'd America and Europe grow dim, retir- ing in shadow behind me. The unperform'd, more gigantic than ever, advance. And has this prophecy come to pass? This terrible war of four years is the answer. There is now one heart to the globe. Democracy has almost real- ized the vision of fifty years ago, the prophecy of her bard, Walt Whitman. -Frances Vivian Feldkamp. A War Definition , ,, 5-A S it not true that with experience some commonplace words Q:l 33'1 F7 . . 'Q grow heavy with new mean1ng? Recently, I learned to ,' thrill at the sound of an old-fashioned word. For this rea- ES' ' son, I dare to bring it to your attention, you who have learned the meaning of the word and the value of the habit expressed, and I, whose attention has been arrested in recent months through a new insight given by war. The immediate thought which comes to many, is that thrift is simply a fact of saving money and material substance. But thrift is an attitude of mind toward life. It means the exercising of the rules of reason with regard to things about us. It warns against yielding to our natural whims and impulses. Thrift must not be thought of as a means of accumulating a fortune only. A thrifty man need not accumulate a fortune, large or small. The object of thrift is to make us masters of all material things that we may enjoy, that these things may not master us. True happiness consists, not in satisfying many wants, but in having fewer wants to satisfy. It is said that people go through life discontented, chiefly because of artificially created and stim- ulated wants. The war taught us to be thrifty in the satisfaction of our wants, that we might lavish our souls and our savings on our country. And then, too, it is necessary that a man uphold thrift as the basis of sound living. He will be a better craftsmang he will do more with 11 '. .. T -5 ff: AW- 1--T LY -L -f f .:L-,fa-f ri - :- his materials. He will be a better father, for he will do more for the souls of his children. He will be a better citizen for he will hoard and make usable to all the resources of his state. The doors of pros- perity may be open to such a man, but it will not tempt him to turn this prosperity to selfish ends. It is not what you save, but what you do with your treasure: This is the new light on the word thrift. Did you ever think it your duty to be thrifty? It is one of the strongest calls of duty. It is a duty not only to those that may be dependent upon you, but also to your country and to your higher self. You need hardly be told the methods of thrift. The beasts and the insects lay aside for a period of want. They are taught by instinct. But, with us, it must be a matter of thought and education. It does not mean that we are to be miserly or that we must forego the pleasures of life. As a young American Lieutenant, just returned from overseas service, said: We are learning that many things deemed indispensable before this war can now be readily dispensed with. We are not going back to where we were before the war. We are going to have a new world, a better managed world, a rescued world of beauty, contrib- uted to and shared by all. We are a nation of spendthrifts. Out of every thousand people in this country, so our statistician tells us, only one hundred and eight have grasped the wisdom of thrift. It is said: To save is to know wisdom, to know wisdom is to live well, to live well is to enjoy life. Our great method of thrift is our national conservation. Bills on conservation already passed, show that we are moving in the right direction. But the idea of conserving our human and spiritual forces is yet undeveloped. There are, indeed, obstacles to thrift, the love of luxury, the im- pulse to buy whatever pleases the fancy, and the habit of gambling and intemperance in the precious things of life. But thrift is really com- paratively easy and may soon become a habit. War is the greatest spendthrift. It is then necessary to call for all that thrift implies to offset this great waste. Surely, there can be no greater foundation for democracy than thrift -thrift means to save and to share. It means a square deal from man to man. Self-abnegation is one of the assets of the war and the complement of thrift. There is a new world about us. The rich woman who scrubbed and served at the canteensg the boy who lived gloriously in the trenchg the woman who at grey dawn giving up all comforts, cared for the French re-patriatesg these know the meaning of self-abnegation and of thrift. War, then, has given new dignity to this old Benjamin Franklin word. Never again can it drop' to its old materialistic mean- ing, this new, inspiring, word Thrift -Gertrude Kehl. 12 'wffsjv' -iv A :fig I , 'V fi- - , TQ.: .3 . LJ.,-,-- A League ofNations Y, OUR years of bitter struggle are ended. Human blood has been shed until the fields of battle teem with streams red. All knowledge and science has been bent toward one goal, destruction. Millions of the defenders of liberty have U paid the supreme price. Now the world at last has decided that the foundations of a lasting peace must be laid, that some other means of settling international controversies must be adopted. The greatest question that confronts the members of the peace conference is how to secure an honorable, lasting peace, and yet provide for just settlement of all controversies. They are considering a league of nations to prevent aggression, encroachment, and offense, a league to enforce arbitration, a league to assure justice to all. This league is to consist of a union of all the self-determined and ethnically constituted nations. It is to have a supreme court of arbitration. The weapons of international boycott or military power are to be used against an offending nation. The eyes of the whole world are fixed upon this peace conferenceg the eyes of the weak, the oppressed, the wronged, all look forward to the formation of this league of nations which is to insure freedom, peace, and justice to a stricken world. All the nations are deeply interested. Americans are vitally con- cerned. Heretofore, America has kept herself isolated from European affairs. The formation of such a league may mean death to the Mon- roe Doctrine. Besides, America has never before fought a war outside this continent. Our membership in this league may mean the lives of our youths to enforce decisions of the international court. There 'are leading Americans who are strongly in favor of a league of nations, these are led by our beloved president. There are opponents, however, and among them is a senator from this sovereign state of Missouri. This man offers certain academic objections. He does not want America to take a part in European affairs. He does not want Ameri- can youths to give their lives to settle European disputes. He fears men are not perfect enough to carry into practice their signed cove- nants. These are his objections. Now let us give some of these points the acid test. Let us consider these objections from two points of view, namely, the selfish point of view and the generous or the humani- tarian point of view. From the selfish point of view: Are we concerned by the outcome of the European disputes? I wonder whether it would have mattered to us if Germany had defeated England, Italy, and France? I wonder 13 -'--.-.4--1 -1 T -'fi ee iff 2- f - ,fi how it would have felt, had the then victorious Germany turned her engines of war in our direction ?-So you see, we are concerned. Now let us take the other point of view, the generous or humani- tarian: The opponents of a league of nations say that we are not con- cerned, we are not hurt, we should not be moved by the actions of states of Europe toward one another. Do you remember how your blood boiled when you read of Germany's invasion of Belgium? Do you remember how you ground your teeth when you learned of the German atrocities in invaded France? Do you recall your feelings when you heard of the German destruction of Louvain and Rheims? Do you remember the hot rage aroused when you heard of the sinking of the Lusitania?-Now, after recalling your feelings, it is impossible for any American to say that we should not abandon our old policy of isolation. Our spiritual outposts have already been moved forward uncounted miles. Let us now take up the second objection: American youths should have to give up their lives to settle European disputes. Certainly most of these disputes shall be settled by arbitration. But if there is any offending nation, then the offender shall face a boycott by all the other nations of the league. A boycott failing-then it's war. When it comes to war, our boys are willing to pay the price! We feel that you cannot hurt or wrong an Englishman, you cannot wrong a Frenchman or an Italian without hurting us. We love our country but we love mankind also. We have learned that there exists some supreme power that connects the lives and the destinies of one person or nation with all the rest. This feeling was fundamental to our entrance into the war. It is because of this new humanitarianism, it is because of this great love for our fellowmen that our boys answered the calls of devas- tated Belgium, exhausted France and gallant Britain. But, alas! in spite of our response to these calls, in spite of the fact that our youths are willing to defend justice at any price, we are being misrepre- sented in Congress. We young Americans demand a league of nations. We uphold this league, for even if there be any wars after the formation of this league, these shall not be wars of aggression, but wars to en- force justice and to punish an offender, who, in offending one, offends all. We now have answered the second objection of the senator. The Senator's third objection is specious and impossible to reply to, for it ends just where the arguments of our great representative at Versailles begins. Our worthy Senator says that some of the nations are not perfect enough to carry in practice their signed covenants, hence a league of nations is impossible. Our President says that since the nations are not perfect a league of nations is necessary. Now it is your duty to support this league, that the children of the peaceful generations to come may read- Woodrow Wilson, the twenty- 14 eighth president of these United States and 'Father of a League of Nations. ' -Milton Yawitz. The Returning Soldier iii HEN a nation undertakes war, the people are called upon to endure, as individuals and as nations, an interruption in industry and in daily habits. They are called upon to 1. sacrifice money, food and men. Hard as these sacrifices i ' are, out of them is born a high patriotism. Consolation grows out of the hope that conditions requiring sacrifice are but temporary. But when peace comes, the emotional spur which enables men to bear losses dies down. The bitter part is over. But what of the returning soldier? We must not, now, allow our patriotism to die down, our material and spirit- ual aid to cease. Far greater and more vital than any other duty is the making of this land a fit home for heroes. First of all, we must consider the state of mind of the returning soldiers. They have fought for an ideal entirely new to war-not for their own country, but for the ideals of humanity. They have fought side by side with their English, French and Italian brothers. They are no longer citizens of any clearly bounded country, they are citizens of the world. They will think in world terms, they will live on world heights, and we must think with them and stand beside them. Our business, our politics, our social life must be organized to lit the wider views of our crusaders. The government ideally plans to take care of these problems. But is not the government you? No interest can be placed above the interests of those who fought our battles, those who carried the torch of light and hope to the stricken world. You are suggesting many ways of caring for them, such as opening up swamp lands. What a cheap offer! It costs you nothing! If they want swamp lands, well and good. But we want these men to take up what they are now fitted for. Are you an employer? You released this worker in high chivalry, you sent him over there with Libertyls beacon. Now in spirit of this same chivalry, take him back. If you cannot pay the value of his enhanced power, share with him your bounty-and it will be re- turned to you in spiritual joy. Make good your mighty promises. He will work as he has fought. Now, it is your duty to fight as you have worked. Fight the spirit of greed, of gain, make your democracy demo- cratic, your chivalry chivalrous. Much has been said about re-educating the soldier. It will be necessary in many cases where the soldiers find new industries and new ideas developed. But, take a closer look. It is we, who must s vfii 'H 15 re-educate ourselves, that we may keep pace with these men. They have climbed a mountain we can never climb. They have experienced things we shall never experience. This country must level up to their ideals. These most precious men of ours have a new vision. They will appraise us not in dollars but in terms of souls, in terms of chivalry toward their needs. But we speak of the soldiers who come back whole, what of the disabled ones? It is the high privilege of a grateful country to nurse the stricken soldier back to health, to love him and to teach him. They sorrowfully witness the stalwart going back to life, and they ponder deeply. The war has crippled their bodies. 'Tis we alone who can cripple their souls. We must make them proud and independent. The greatest wrong is to offer him money he does not earn. It would be an insult to the very cause for which he gave his arm, his leg or perhaps his eyes. We owe him a chance for life, for a life of action and usefulness and content. We owe him an honored place in our national life. And we means you and I. If you are an employer, are you going to consider him? Are you going to be patient with him? He fought your light. Now help him Fight his own battles. Teach the new idea of the crippleg the man without legs will walk, the man without arms will reach, the man without eyes will see. Adopt as your slogan, There are no cripplesf' We can remember the deep emotion we felt, they felt, when they joined the colors, when they sailed from their native land. And now, they are coming back, coming home! Behold them! Our heroes! Vic- torious, proud, happy! Are we going to disappoint them? We cannot do that. Let us kindle our patriotism into an undying flame. Let us make good our promise to the returning soldier. -Helen A. Wood. The Man With a Vision ROM the time history began here and there has sprung nfl up through the ages some one man with a great vision. I N Perhaps it has been a great conqueror who has wrapped himself in a dream of glory and sought to build an empire on the clash of arms. Or again it may have been some great philosopher, some colossal intellect, who strove to build his empire through th-e might of mind. And yet again it may have been the gentle dreamer, a follower of the Christ, perhaps without the unearthly purity of Sir Galahad, but one who sought to teach the Great Love and to build the empire of universal brotherhood. And so they have come and so they have gone, each in his own way, the conqueror with his sword, the philosopher with his mind, and the dreamer with his dreams. But through some twist of fate, some unseen 16 J.-,X-y: ' -R ' Y ' -j L -if ,EA 5-:' ' ' f .25-ji law of nature, it has been the conqueror who has filled the pages of history. Made history, yes! but where are their empires now? Where through the ages can you find one great conqueror who lived to enjoy the fruits of his victory, or who upon his deathbed could say, I die in peace, my empire is still mine? There's not one to be found. Yet time has produced man after man, who, in spite of all reason, in spite of the wrecks and ruins of previous empires, has thought, I can conquer, where all others have failed. The mighty Caesar with his Roman legions, with all the pomp and power of Rome behind him, sought to possess the world, to force it to his will. He came close, closer than any conqueror has ever come, yet, after all, he was only mortal, and it's not ordained by God that a mortal is to rule this world. Next of the great conquerors came the beast Attila with his hunnish hordes. Out of the barbaric East he swept through Europe, wiping out all civilization before him and leaving a path of ruin and desolation. He called himself The Scourge of God Q what god he served he only knew. Where is his god now and where is his empire? Then came the great Napoleon. With a master mind, a terrible ambition, the wealth of France at his command, he, too, set his foot on the conqueror's path and all the world trembled, all Europe bowed to his sword. He followed this path to the end, an end of sorrow, lone- liness, and despair. - And now again the world has been swept with blood and strife. Millions have died, whole nations have suffered. Beautiful cities lie in ruins. Once blooming fields now lie burnt, scarred, and blasted. Armies have swept back and forth, great victories have been wong but for every victory won there has appeared a new field of little wooden crosses, for death can't lose when a great conqueror comes. Wreck and ruin, famine and pestilence have come that one mad, ruthless sover- eign might realize his dream of conquest. Down in his callous, scheming mind he conceived this vision, a vision of a throne from which he might look to the four corners of the earth and call it his own. Back of him he had a nation drunk with the victories of previous wars, steeped in the teachings that might was right, and that they were the supermen. With such a people behind him, he built his hopes one by one, waiting, waiting for the dayf' It was he and his kind that combined the savagery and barbarism of the Huns with all the arts of modern science depraved to uses repugnant to civilized people. Attila called himself The Scourge of God 3 Wil- helm said, I am chosen of God, woe to him who denies my mission. But amidst all this chaos there has slowly stood forth a kindly, earnest-hearted man, the real man chosen of God, the man with a mis- sion, the man with the true vision. He is only a schoolmaster, so some 17 ,Arg - f f ,L .?, 1, T, 527 Y V - 14, -.- f,,.,-- people say. Yes, but a schoolmaster of the world, a builder of republics, the foe of autocracy, and let us hope, a father of democracies. He dreamed no dreams of conquest, he craved no blood-bought empire. He had the faith in human nature, in the love of his fellow- men. Patiently he bore their sluts, with a smile he acknowledged his mistakesg and when all else failed, and only until then, did he resort to war. But once in it, he has never faltered, but has led straight through to a swift and victorious conclusion. Through it all, however, he has always looked forward to peace, an unseliish peace, a just peace. Not such a peace as the Kaiser described when he said, God is with us. If the enemy does not want peace, then we must bring peace to the world by battering in with iron fist and shining sword, the doors of those who will not have peace. This was a German peaceg but Wilson dreamed of a true peace, a lasting peace. In his famous fourteen points he said, A general association of na- tions must be formed, under specific covenants, for the purpose of afford- ing mutual guaranties of political independence and territorial integrity to great and small states alike. To-day, with Wilson's far-seeing vision to guide them, the nations are binding up their wounds and looking forward into the dawning of a new day, a day in which reason, truth, freedom, and justice shall rule. -Elwood D. Adams. A Message to Americans With a Foreword VER Sagamore Hill, on january the seventh, appeared a great fleet of air ships. They circled and dipped. Occa- - ' il sionally, they came close to the earth, dropping wreaths f . 1 of laurel. ,Q A- These fearless bird men were announcing to the sky, to the air, to the earth, to the sea, that Theodore Roosevelt had completed the great adventure-Life, and had gone on to the greater adventure--Death. Some three months ago, following the death of a heroic son in battle, he sang his swan song, called by him the Great Adventure. We cull from this prose poem his last great message to Americans. Let us for a moment consider it together: Only those are Ht to live who do not fear to dieg and none are Ht to die who have shrunk from the joy of life and the duty of life. Both life and death are parts of the same Great Adventure. Never yet was worthy adventure worthily carried through by the man who put his personal safety Hrst. Never yet was a country worth living in unless its sons and daughters were of that stern stuff which bade 18 'ff' 'A ' ff -fl'--N 11 '--- -e-if 11- .,,' i 'ff'-f rf,- 51 35:21 libg- them die for it at need, and never yet was a country worth dying for unless its sons and daughters thought of life not as something concerned only with the selfish evanescence of the individual but as a link ,in the great chain of creation. The wife of a fighting soldier at the front recently wrote as fol- lows to the mother of a gallant boy, who at the front had fought in high air like an eagle, and, like an eagle, fighting had died: 'I write these few lines-not of condolence, for who would dare to pity you?- but of deepest sympathy to you and yours as you stand in the shadow which is the earthly side of those clouds of glory in which your son's life has just passed. Many will envy you, that when the call to sacrifice came, you were not found among the paupers to whom no gift of life worth offering had been entrusted. They are the ones to be pitied, not we, whose dearest are jeoparding their lives unto the death in the high places of the field.' With all my heart I believe in the joy of living! but no nation can be great unless its sons and daughters have in them the quality to rise level to the needs of heroic days. In America to-day all our people are summoned to service and sacrifice. Pride is the portion only of those who know bitter sorrow or the foreboding of bitter sorrow. But all of us who give service, and stand ready for sacrifice, are the torch-bearers. We run with the torches until we fall, content if we can then pass them to the hands of other runners. The torches whose flame is brightest are borne by the gallant men at the front, and by the gallant women whose husbands and lovers, whose sons and brothers are at the front. These men are high of soul, as they face their fate on the shell-shattered earth, or in the skies above, or in the waters beneath, and no less high of soul are the women with torn hearts and shining eyes, the girls whose boy lovers have been struck down in their golden morning, and the mothers and wives to whom word has been brought that henceforth they must walk in the shadow. These are the torch-bearers, these are they who have dared the Great Adventure. -Benjamin M. Loeb. ai fig il QE . if l 19 ECNIIQ ES? s Q ' Stand To! A I-IE Seniors' motto is an ideal high- . .,', For throughout life we shall ever try Q5 1 3.1. -, To TO! Why did the boys win our great light? 'Tis because with all their might They Stood To! We, like our noble boys over the sea, We shall let our life's aim be To Stand To! Stand to What? the reader may ask: Why, any great trial, promise or task, We'll Stand To! For in our lives will be many trialsg But we shall give, not frowns, but smiles- We'1l Stand To! And when trouble shall o'er us darkly loom, And our skies be lilled with blackest gloom, We'll Stand TO! Should we End hardship in our cup, We'll do our best and not give up, But Stand To! And when we're helping some very good cause, I tell you, we never, never will pause, But Stand To! And when our life's work we'll begin, I know that we will surely win, If we Stand To! Then, when our earthly tasks are done, We'll find that we've our battles won, If we Stand Toi! -Mae Counts, 8 0 Candidates for Graduation, january, 1919 NIAIKY Jl'llVE'l l' G.

She was big. She was little. She had blue eyes. She had yellow hair. She could dance. 1 ' '1 S She could sing. One day she stayed home from school. She missed the Q, .1 Senior meeting. She couldn't hear the president talk. She 1 K ' couldn't hear the parliamentary boy say: Mr. Chairman, I object! She couldn't hear the small pretty girl say in a high-pitch voice, Oh, no! She couldn't hear the vice-president say: Well, if this isn't the limit! She couldn't hear a boy say: Mr. Chairman, there's a motion on the floor! She couldn't hear the treasurer say: Who hasn't paid up? She couldn't hear a girl talk about the Scripf' She couldn't see the girls get angry. She couldn't hear the boys laugh. She couldn't hear the seniors snore. And that night-guess what? She was the only Senior that slept! 37 36? 1 A L 'f i ' Miss Mary Holman I ,KT T was with intense sorrow that the friends of Miss Mary fit Holman learned of her death on the twelfth of October, 1918. Miss Holman had so recently been a member of the H Soldan faculty, and so many of us, both teachers and pupils, were her friends, that we have felt a share in the grief her death has brought. Miss Holman was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Minard L. Holman of St. Louis. She was educated in the public schools of this city and after graduating from Central High School entered Washington Uni- versity, receiving her degree from that institution in 1905. In 1906 and during the summer of 1918 she was a student in the graduate school of the University of Chicago. At the opening of Soldan High School in September, 1909, Miss Holman became a member of our faculty, in the department of mathematics. When, in 1917, plans were being discussed for the establishment of a Junior High School in Saint Louis, she became interested in this new phase of educational work, and, desiring to have a share in its develop- ment, was sent at her own request to the Blewett junior High School, of the faculty of which she was a member at the time of her death. Greatly as we regretted her leaving Soldan, she had all our best wishes for success in her new work. As a student in college and later in life as a teacher in our school, Miss Holman had endeared herself to many. Her friendliness, her gen- erous willingness to give any service that lay in her power, her high ideals of education, and her own unusual ability had won our respect, our admiration, and our friendship. We feel that in her death our schools have lost a leader and we have lost a friend. To Out Seniors Whatever may come in the trail of the years, Whatever may gladden or pain- Can never destroy the joys that are past Which memory brings back again. We've treasured her records-for who can tell What time may bring or do? The future is dim and a vast unknown, But the world of the past is true! 38 fir . ff ' i n -'LT EDITORIAL S TAFF R.fIl.P11 1fOM 'l,l?lC .......... liditor-in-Ch-ivf BEN STlN.S'O.N '........,.

VOLUME ldiGH'l'El11N NUMBIGR UXIC JANUARY, 15419 The SC,-ip 9 speaking in behalf of the school, wishes to extend to the Senior Class of january, 1919, the heartiest wishes for a most successful future. Baskefbau Pep -4' 9 Did you know Soldan had a crackerjack bas- ketball team last year? Did you know that team came within one game of winning the championship last year? Do you know practically the same team is entering the League a top-heavy favorite this year? Are you going to support it? The time has come when real pep and enthusi- asm on the part of the school is needed and needed badly. An athletic team cannot expect to overcome all odds and win. The school must do its part. That fact was well illustrated in the Soldan-McKinley football game. Without that hundred per cent support of the school, could the team have held McKinley on the eight-yard line? No, not at all !' and the same is true in basketball. We've got a good team and the team has lots of the old-time fight, but it needs school backing. Come on, gang! where's your pep ? Every Week or Every Month? -4' For the past two terms the Scrip has changed form many times. From the original once a month publication it changed to Scrippage, a sort of semi-newspaper magazine. From this form the Scrip Weekly of last term was made. 39 Undoubtedly this was an improvement on its predecessor, but still it did not satisfy the school. This term, just passed, had no Scrip, on account of the several enforced vacations caused by the influenza clos- ing order. What kind of school-paper will we have next term? That question must be settled by the school. We hope to secure the honest opinion of the school, in the near future, as a final vote, whether the Scrip is to be published once a month or whether some form of the Scrip is to be published each week. That opinion must be based on facts from these last three terms and not on any personal prejudices or imaginations. The time has come when the school-paper of Soldan must continue in some standard form. The Scrip cannot exist on the reputation it has made in years gone by. Success to-day depends upon actions and performances and not upon reputations. It is utterly impossible for Soldan to have a newspaper publication. A paper which can be held up for last minute news and then rushed to press in the eleventh hour is out of the question for our school. We must depend on some printer downtown, and counting time for send- ing material to the printer, setting this up and proof-reading it, print- ing, and delivery, three days are consumed, so that by the time the school receives the finished product thc news is practically a week old. Does the school prefer this to the old style monthly with all its charms? It's up to you! Shall the Scrip be published every week or every month? -R. S. F. Do Not Quit 9 9 For more than a year the people of the United States have faithfully practiced food conservation. Now that the war is practically over, there is danger of relaxation in this. But it must not happen. Famine is spreading over all of Europe. Five millions have died of wounds received in battle, while twenty million men, women and children have died of starvation. Now, Southern Russia, parts of Denmark, of Hungary, have only enough food until the next harvest. The American people, aided by the Agrgentinians, the Cana- dians, and the Australians, must keep the remainder of Europe from starving. The United States Government has pledged to send twenty million tons of food overseas by june. Without continued conserva- tion by every American, this promise cannot be kept. Remember our motto, Everyone working, no one shirking, and put this pledge-our pledge-over the top. --Viola Bagby, 8 Lunch-Room Help 9 9 The girls of the school who are sevens or eights will remember that several years ago a petition was put up to Mr. Powell. This contained the names of several hundred girls and asked that girls be allowed to work in the lunch room. Next year the Student Council is going to help with the selecting of lunch room help and has decided to give the girls a chance. 40 ,I .,-,n,,-:53g' -ir: A i ff -9 A ' 57. Y ..a:- R fir,-3 2 ff. There will be application blanks to fill out and from the applicants several will be selected and the rest held in reserve. Age, term in school, weight, height, and a good record will all be considered in mak- ing the selection. We should have the best people in school in the lunch room. Now that the girls have the chance, we will look for them to make good next term. -B. A. S. Soldan and the Flu Epidemic 4' ' As the new term draws near, we look back on the old term with a rather hazy conception of things. The past term has been so broken up that practically every phase of school life has been disrupted or destroyed for the last four or Five months. School work has been broken into and disarranged by the rav- ages of the Spanish Influenza. Clubs and other similar organizations have been disbanded and have accomplished little or nothing. Our athletics have been in doubt, in general, everything has been on the fritz since the Hu epidemic started. For five weeks after the schools opened things moved in the cus- tomary manner and then, like a thunderbolt from a clear sky, school was closed for Five weeks. It was again opened, but only for two weeks, when it was again closed on account of the disastrous increase of deaths and the new cases of the flu. After remaining closed for about a week, the schools were again permitted to re-open. We had school for two more weeks and then the Christmas holidays inter- vened. But now we are back to normal conditions again. School work has resumed, clubs are beginning their activities, and everything is assuming a business-like attitude. Don't grumble and growl if things are not going exactly right, because the faculty and students are all trying to do their best in changing the school from abnormal to normal times. just get behind and push, co-operate, assist, help, or anything else you want to do, but don't knock! -R. S. F. Keep the Slate Clean J -9 9 For every call for help or aid in some way to a war activity, Soldan responded generously. Whether the plea was for money, for knitted garments, for books, or for anything at all, Soldan was first at the front. People commented and praised us for our good work. But let us keep up this enthusiasm. Although the war is over, the reconstruction period has just begun. At the be- ginning of the term in September there came a plea for help in the United War Work Campaign. We came to the front again, but school suddenly closed and we forgot our pledges. Our attention is now called to the fact that these obligations are now overdue. As a true and loyal supporter of Soldan, don't spoil our record. Pay up your pledge and keep the slate clean! -R. S. F. 41 .f----fee-fr-sw' ir- r if -t i -2 1- fa gear 51 '-a zemi., How America Can Help France 3 9 Much sympathy and concern has been aroused in America concerning devastated France and how America can best help her. It is a great problem, but must be solved. One way has already been tried. Some American cities decided to raise money and each take care of a French city. This, however, although the motive was good, proved unsatisfactory. Some of the cities that needed help the most received none, while their neighbors who were not so badly shattered, received the money. Reconstruction is a problem covering vast economic difliculties. The way America can help most in rebuilding is by sending men. France has lost most of her manpower and this is what she needs to help rebuild herself. So wake up, America, and send poor, shattered France what she needs most and what only this great country, with its Fine manhood, can give. -Hennie Semmelmeyer, 8 Recgnstrucfign S 9- Now that peace has come, with it comes the work of reconstruction, which embraces many things. One of the important problems is that of the maimed, home-coming soldiers. Pri- marily this is a medical problem, but at the same time it is equally an educational problem. Many people have feared that the maimed soldier will have to beg, but the wonderful Red Cross has prepared for this and is ready to meet our disabled soldier more than half way and help him to Ht himself for steady employment. First of all he will be cared for in a medical way, and while recov- ering he will be attending classes. If he has been so disabled that it is impossible for him to return to his former occupation, he will be re-educated and fitted for an occupation possible for him in his crippled condition. He will have a choice of occupation he desires, for unless the new occupation appeals to the man, his successful re-education is almost impossible. Economy of time and effort demands that the man's previous experience, training, and skill be utilized in preparation for his new line of work. It is to his interest that his medical and voca- tional oil-icers try to direct a man towards re-education in his former work or in a connected or related occupation rather than an entirely new one. -Mary jewett, 8 The Soldan Service Record 3 9 Soldan has started a history or record of the boys in service who attended or graduated from Soldan. In years to come, we may look back at these records and find the com- plete history of so and so, who graduated from Soldan way back in 1910, who fought at Chateau-Thierry and Argonne, and who was final- ly invalided home with a glorious record of service. Such is the pur- pose of this record which Soldan is establishing. 42 ---fs 1 .2541 , r -2- A f - V ,f-- .:-4-VZ . f -- For each man in the service there is to be a card containing his name, address, age, date of graduation from Soldan, date of entering the service, what branch of service, his rank, his record of service abroad or at home, and his date of discharge. These cards, when complete, will be Bled in the office of the school, where they will be accessible to anyone. If you know of any Soldan pupil who has been in the service, se- cure a card from Mr. Powell and iill it out, or have it filled out, and filed away. The success of this record depends on all of us and we must all help. The boys in the service helped us and here's a chance for us to help them. What is your answer? Track 9 9 To a great many of the students it seems as though Soldan will never get a championship in track. It seems that it is getting to be a habit for us to get second place. Every year we have dandy chances for cleaning up, but it is always the same old story. At the beginning of next term the old team will get together and elect their captain. Then every fellow in school who thinks he can do anything in either track or field events, or who has any school spirit, should get busy. We will have to work for itg but let this be our motto: Nothing but the championship in l919. -B. A. S. Floor-Out-Friday -9 -9 The newly elected Scrip Staff was just ready to publish the iirst Scrip when the school was closed for the First time. Disappointed but not disheartened, we were again pre- paring to give the school a publication when things were again closed by the Hu ban. When school opened this time, only about one fourth of the pupils were allowed to return, which made it a financial impossibility to publish the regular Scrip. The staff regretted its ina- bility to give the regular publication to the school, but felt that the news of the times should be placed before the pupils present, in some way. The result was Floo-Out-Friday. But this, too, proved rather unwise from a financial viewpoint. And, as the holidays caused another closing period at this time, the Scrip Staff for the fall term of 1918 has put all of its time, energy, ability into this graduation issue. We hope that it will meet with the approval of all and that the school will give its fullest co-operation to the Scrip in the following term. -R. S. F. Stand TO! -9 9 To the soldier on duty the call to Stand To means greater vigilance, closer attention to his work. To us, at the threshold of graduation or just entering upon our high school work, Stand To means renewed endeavor, and a greater zeal for our preparation for life's work. The war is over. Life has been destroyed that the world might be made free. But the changes that have taken place, the destruction, 43 the suffering, hinder the forward progress. We must halt, Stand To and carry on the work of reconstructiong we must struggle to equip ourselves in the right manner to cope with the new opportu- nities that are opened up to each one. Woman especially has new re- sponsibilities as well as opportunity. The whole world looks to Amer- ica to help her. America means you and it means me. It behooves the hardest blow when Mr. Grossman left for Missouri every one of us in order to do our part to Stand To. , -Louise Gilmore, 8 Faculty Changes HERE have been many changes in the faculty since the : H closing of school last june. Soldan has lost some of its 'i'i' former teachers through transfers to other schools, war activities, and the like, and these have been replaced by If new instructors. The mathematics department received University to instruct the soldiers, and soon after Mr. Reiman left to do similar work. Their places have been. filled by Miss Casey and Mr. Davis. Both of these members of the faculty have become thoroughly established in the school and are greatly respected by the pupils. Mr. Cook and Mr. Olson have returned to the faculty's roster and are resuming their work in the manual training department after instructing the soldiers along similar lines. They are to be assisted by Mr. McEacron, a new member of the school's instructing force. Mrs. Bristol has returned from her war work and is now teaching Spanish as well as assisting the Student Council. Miss Kissinger, how- ever, has left Soldan to assist in important war work. Our English department has been greatly strengthened by the addition of Miss Chase, who formerly taught at McKinley. Although she hails from a rival school, we welcome her heartily to Soldan. Mr. Hall is our new music teacher to supplant Mr. Weaver, now teaching at McKinley. Mr. Hall is a great addition to the faculty and has shown his spirit of helpfulness through his co-operation with the Glee Club. His several football songs will be long remembered. Miss Shaffer and Miss Rotty complete the changes in the faculty. The former teaches commercial subjects in lieu of Mr. Stavseth, who is doing Red Cross work. Miss Rotty is the girls' new gym', teacher, suc- ceeding Miss Varian, who also entered the Red Cross service. To all these new members of Soldan we extend best wishes and hope that they will find their work at Soldan growing more and more pleasant. -R. S. F. 44 Will You Help Make the Record Complete ? More than six hundred stars on the Soldan Service Flag symbolize the part the boys of Soldan have had in winning the war for the freedom of the world. Twelve of these stars now are gold. The stars are only a symbol of the patriotic service of our boys. We at Soldan want a complete history of their service. We want to put this history into readily accessible form as part of the tradition and heritage of our school. We owe this to ourselves and to the boys whose deeds have been the measure of their loyalty. We wish a complete and accurate record for every boy who at any time has had membership in Soldan High School. We are according- ly asking all parents, relatives, and friends of Soldan soldiers, sailors, and airmen to fill out accurately the details asked for on the inclosed National Service Record and to return the card to us. Besides this information We shall be glad to receive newspaper notices or stories contributing to individual histories or extracts from personal letters. If you cannot spare the original sources, perhaps you can furnish a copy. Will you help make the Soldan Service Record accurate and com- plete? The Soldan Patrons' Alliance is helping us by furnishing the means to carry out this plan. The Patrons' Alliance has also pledged a beau- tiful memorial to preserve imperishably the names of Soldan boys who in this war have given their last full measure of devotion. Address communications to Mr. john Rush Powell, Principal, or to The National Service Record Committee, Soldan High School, St. Louis. Attention V WT UR participation in athletics has so far, this season, been 'Q attended with great success. It is true that we did not win the football championship, but the pep shown at the McKinley game was enough to warm the hearts of all our alumnig and the saying, Soldan has the old-time spirit, was heard everywhere. But, now that the football season is over, do not think that the need of school spirit is lessened. For there are other sports coming, which, although they have not re- ceived much of it in the past, need the school's support. The basketball season is upon us now, and the five stands forth as our champion. Soldan never has supported her basketball teams, and Soldan never has won a basketball championship. But this year we have brighter prospects than ever before for bringing home the 45 buntingf' The team that takes the Hoor for Soldan this season is the best organization that has ever represented us in the High School Basketball League. , Now it is up to us to show this team that the school is behind them: to show them that we are behind them to the last man. No matter how good a team may be, it cannot put forth its best effort unless the players have it shown to them that their school is there with the right spiritf, Often a weak team has made a wonderful show- ing, just because of the pep of its fellow students. Our team will win the championship this year if it is given decent support. So let it be known now, that if Soldan doesn't come out ahead in basketball this season, it will not be the fault of the team, the blame must fall on the school. Surely everyone of you wants to make this a big year for Soldan athletics. Surely you. want to help your school win its first basketball championship, and be at the top of the school spirit list. Get your friends together and go down to Cleveland in a bunch. It is a long ride to the Cleveland gymnasium, but, if you go with a crowd of friends, you should have a good time going and returning. Why not make a fad of going to see the basketball games on Saturday nights? Girls, if you have engagements, help us out by suggesting that you would like to see the game. If you fellows are going out with girls on Saturday nights, bring them down to see the team in action- you should worryv about the long ride. There is certainly more excitement in watching a basketball game than in going to a show. Let's show the other schools what real school spirit is, and make all the old fellowsv glad that they graduated from a school with the pep. Let's all go down to see the basketball games, and, when we get there, put forth such an exhibition of cheering as has never before been heard in the high schools. --J. V. Conran. For the Glory of Soldan High GLDAN indeed secured a treasure when Mr. Hall came e, we . . . . its among us. It secured a man of originality and of ingenu- 9 'lf ity, who could dash off a poem or a piece of music with the best of 'em. He established proof of his originality when he composed For the Glory of Soldan High, a piece of ' music which will become as much a part of Soldan as March, March on Down the Field has become. The story goes that Mrs. Hall, having been inspired by the success of the football team on the Held, wrote a spirited poem, with the team as the chief ingredient in the make-up of it. The next morning Mr. Hall conceived the idea of setting it to music, and with true masculine 46 .,,- ,- - N- 'Q H ' Y 7' - it-2-T iflgvj-2 V?- 'f?,T genius, composed a tune at the breakfast table while the coffee was percolating. He brought it to school with him, played it for all the music classes, and bang !-another piece was added to Soldan's reper- toire. No composition, including Smiles and Hindustan, ever took better. It was sung in music, it was sung in the auditoriumg it was sung at the football games, it was sung at the pep meetings, in short, where was it not sung? Next in popularity among Mr. I-Iall's songs is Shinola, that wild, barbarous, blood-curdling accident that made the football fellows feel like scalping their opponents when they heard it sung in the grandstand. CAttention of Gazzollo is called to this.D The band played this piece to death at the football games, thereby ending its usefulness for this term, but it is sure to be brought to life again next semester. Mr. Hall has also put music to some words written by Rex Brashear, an old Soldan hero, but when this song was ready the season was about over, and so it was not used much. It will probably be taught to the school next term. We are trusting to Mr. Hall to give us some more good songs next term, as there are none that are more enjoyed, more sung, or even more danced than his. -Jerome Simon, 7. In Flanders Last night out of the heavens stole A great golden moon and shone upon all as a human soulg The fields were aglow with its shimmery sheen in Flandersg In this fairy light all was joy and delight, For it was harvest time in Flanders. To-night the welkin above is all white Midst the throbbing starsg through this mystic light The moon looks down and seems to shroud all Flandersg In this orb's pale glare hope is changed to despair- All is not well in Flanders. In future nights as from strange weird dreams The moon will rise, and on clouds will lean, Half hiding her face, half fearing to look on Flanders. Then out in the night with relief she will smile, E'er she sets on peaceful Flanders. -Dorothy Belle Wood, '18 47 For the glory of Soldan High Dedicated to fhe Foofbull Team of Soldnn High Words Music ADDYE YEARGAIN HALL WILLIAM JOHN HALL 15111-1 :Lui flffliilll l l Q 111-031- L , ' D 7 , H J l. - Us U 'l , .

Some schools have not been as disorganized by the Hu as others and it is from these fortunate ones that most of our term's exchanges have come. Each publication has its own distinctive characteristics, ranging in style from the finished monthly periodical to the more or less common newspaper weekly. Each one, whether large or small, is to be congratulated on its line showing. The Scrip is pleased to be on the exchange list of these papers and sends best wishes for their continued success. The News, East Orange High School, New jersey, is a snappy, well-arranged, pleasing little monthly. The contents arrangement is especially striking. The Red and Black, Kansas City, has everything which makes a magazine acceptable to its readers. The work of the Art Department deserves special credit. The Jackson Academy Record is published by the pupils of jack- son Academy, a very near neighbor of Soldan, and shows the kind of pep which spells success for a high-school paper. The news notes of school life at the Academy are particularly interesting. Student Life, Washington University's weekly, continues to up- hold its record for short, snappy, but interesting write-ups of the school's activities. One of the big features of this publication is the large amount of advertising. The University School News, Cleveland, Ohio, deserves credit for its neat, attractive publication. We wonder if that is due to the presence of Mr. Blanchet, a former Soldan teacher, at the University School. The Missouri Mines, Rolla, Missouri, is another snappy, cred- itable paper harboring on the newspaper style. Its neatness and com- pactness are especially commendable. The junior Life, from our neighbor, the Ben Blewett junior High School, has promises of a great future. The Rubicam Record, St. Louis, continues to keep up its fine work. Each issue becomes more interesting. Special credit must be given it for its remarkable work on the service record of Rubicam. National School Service, Washington, D. C., is a school paper for school people. It contains many commendable articles of great value to school pupils. 50 ,V .,-Us, f W if - Ga ' sa- i Y tfzrr-,fi .,3,,',,,-1. gr- f P1 Q, F'.,Ais s .--E351 The Polytechnic, Troy, New York, is a rather cleverly constructed publication. The photography work is especially good. Westport Crier, Kansas City, is a dandy little paper with a great future. The Academy Spectator, Chicago, is built on true newspaper lines and deserves much credit for its snappy news notes. Central High News, St. Louis, is a First class little newspaper, published on purely newspaper lines. Credit must be given for the photographs which appear in almost every issue. The Crimson, McKinley High School, St. Louis, is an equal of the Central High News, with the added quality of a real humor column. The Kirkwood Tigress is welcomed by the Scrip to its list of exchanges. West High Weekly, Chicago, has all the qualities of an up-to- date newspaper. The sporting articles are especially appreciated in this paper. The Scrip acknowledges, with thanks, receipt of the Harvard Alumni Bulletin and the Amherst's Graduate's Quarterly. Both are greatly appreciated. By the time our next Scrip is published we hope to be able to supply our readers with a more complete list of exchanges. The Observer, Decatur, Ill., presents an interesting and excep- tionally well written review of the interests of the school.

Senior Stunt Day 4?-'QQ ENIOR STUNT DAY was ushered in in Soldan life on the morning of Friday, january 10, to the accompaniment of the wild, weird music of tambourines and ukeleles. Bright- Q V ly clad, happy seniors tripped gaily through a day that was - void of lessons. They were dressed in the guise of the carefree, roving gypsy. Teacher after teacher was heard to declare that that stunt day was the most picturesque one in the history of Soldan, enhanced, of course, by the beauty of every individ- ual of the class of january, '19. After school the gypsies wildly raced for the lawn, and, surrounded by scores of gaping grammar school children, they had their pictures taken by no less than a dozen kodaks. The spread followed in the gold and brown decorated lunch-room. While eating, the prophecy was read which caused gales of merriment and excitement. Speeches followed by pupils and by Mr. Powell and Mr. Douglass. When Mr. Teeters burst into the lunch-room, he was wildly cheered, for his advent meant that the long-looked-for rings were coming. After Bennie Loeb, the treasurer, had sorted out the rings, groups of pupils were called and presented with them. Then came the dancing in the Small Gym and all left for home about 6:15, wishing for such another fun-day. ' -Frances Feldkamp, E 53 X As We Expected ES, Nurse! I feel much better now, put another cold cloth F93 on my head and I'll tell you all about it. Thanks! Well, if It was the eve of our tenth anniversary of our graduation- Soldan, january, 1919, Class, and the more I think of it the more I want to revisit my old Alma Mater. I hadn't' seen any of the class for over seven years, and as I knew it would be a waste of time to hunt every one up, I alighted one day from the Union Areo alone, and walked up the front steps of Soldan High. It was the same in appearance, and unconsciously I gained speed at every step. At last I reached the hall. All was quiet, and not a soul in sight. The trophy case was in the same old place, but it looked strange. I looked to see all the football championship cups and the Yale Bowl, but I couldn't find them in conspicuous places, for the place of honor was given to The the Last Flu Germ, caught April 1, 1919, as it was running from the Lunch Room. It was a great satis- faction to know that no other senior class had been disturbed by that germ. My eyes fell on the Soldan Seal-a new model, I supposed. But no! it was a celluloid rattles! Rattles in the trophy case in the place of athletic honors! Sorely perplexed, I walked into the office for explanation. A number of tiny new j's were eagerly talking to Mr. Powell. His dark hair was tinged with gray, but he still was smiling and pleas- ant. No one sawe me. A raised step was put in front of the desks so that the little tots could talk to the clerks. Dazedly I walked down the hall, then fell on a bench. Caesar and Virgil, with the rest of the schoolbooks, were carried in little two-wheeled colored carts. A group of children passed me, and I gasped when I heard one say: Don't forget the senior meeting to-night! She hurriedly wheeled her little cart to the end of the hall, and then slowly I realized that those heavy books which we used to drag around no longer caused the pupils any trouble- which was good, as those seniors couldn't have lasted one term under the weight of those books. Hearing the sound of clattering dishes, I decided to investigate the lunch-room. On reaching it, I eagerly scanned the busy ladies who were waiting on the tables. They were carrying-oh, how my head hurts !-a bowl of bread and milk, and nothing else, to each place. The tables were the same, but instead of our good old stools, a high chair with a bib attached to the side, was at each place. No forks, knives, or anything! Then, at the ringing of the bell, swarms of children pushed through the doors, and well, that's all I know until I regained consciousness here. Ah me! But I expected it all along. -Adelaide Kalkman, 8. 54 Siucieni Activities The Student Council - -gg i HE work of the Student Council, like other similar school organizations, has been greatly hampered by the Flu ban., I 5 . ' The only thing of note which the Council has accomplished is the new absence reporting method. The absence slips were installed soon after the opening of school last Sep- tember. Upon the recommendation of the Council Mr. Powell approved the method and it immediately became a part of the daily school routine. Although there is plenty of room for improve- ment, the scheme, as a whole, seems to have been a success. From office reports, this new method has proved a great time- as well as labor-saver. In general, the class chairmen are very willing to assist and have co-operated wonderfully with the Council in making the system a success. Another thing in which the Council is proving itself a great asset is the management of the crowds in the lunch rooms. That part of the lunch room work is now entirely in the students' hands and a great deal of the congestion has been done away with. In fact, the Student Council is now laying plans for student assistance and management for the entire working system of the lunch rooms. Miss Bouton has expressed her willingness for student co-operation and we hope to comply with her wishes early in the next term. The bronze seal of Soldan, on a pin which is worn in a conspicuous place, has been adopted as the official seal of the Council. All Council members may be recognized by this sign. Much credit must be given to Mrs. Bristol, faculty member of the Student Council, and Mr. Powell, for their efforts to advise, assist and boost the Council and its work. At an early meeting jack Lynn was elected president of the Coun- cil and Virginia Gregory was made secretary. Following is a list of the present membership of the Council by terms: Seniors-Virginia Gregory, Evelyn Miller, Ben Loeb and Alwin Schettlerg Sevens-Harriet Logan, Ermeda Heideman, Ben Stinson and Jerome Simong Sixes-Elizabeth Lord and Ralph Fowlerg Fives- Louise Aloe and jack Lynng Fours-Mary Stewart and Thomas Hen- ningsg Threes-Ida Shaw and Kenneth Schreiner. Next term promises to be one of big happenings for the Council and we hope to be able to fulfill all that is expected of us. --R. S. F. The Dramatic Guild HE DRAMATIC GUILD, despite numerous interruptions, has just completed a very successful term in which plays, lla A' charades and other forms of dramatics were offered. The . Guild has in contemplation a Little Theater similar to those here and in the East. This will facilitate the acting of the players, as the participants have heretofore been un- der difliculty in obtaining proper stage setting. The officers of the Guild who were elected at the first meeting of the last term will continue to hold office during the next term, owing to the closing of school on account of influenza. They are Frances Hays, president g Richard Drewe, vice-presidentg Evelyn Beahan, record- ing secretaryg Rosalind Isaacs, corresponding secretary: Theodore Smith, treasurerg Florence Walters, assistant treasurer, and Irvin Hilb, publicity manager. -Rosalind Isaacs. Architectural Club The Architectural Club is the newest and one of the most practical of the organizations at Soldan. Organized at the beginning of the term, it has, under many difliculties, proved a success. The object of the club is to pursue the study of architecture and its kindred arts. The meetings are held at 2:35 every Wednesday in room 324. Competitions are held between members. One was par- ticularly helpful. It was the designing of a club or fraternity house, to be built opposite Soldan. Davidson Stephens was decided the win- ner. Trips to places of interest to the club take place on alternate meet- ing days when the weather permits. Visitors are welcome. The officers for the present term are honorary president, Mr. R. S. Priceg president, Chester D. Sommerichg vice-president, Edwin Stevens: secretary, Bruce H. Evans: treasurer, Grant Munro. I ,ks F, Y'-5? - RT - -.mff-1-,t,.,,Q-fy--.

It has met regularly every week, has ,h had fairly large audiences, even when the younger members were home on furlough from school, and has Filled a great number of engagements. Among the most important ones was the meeting in our auditorium, when every teacher in town crowded in to hear Dr. Withers' address. It looked like a schoolboy's night- mare, to see all those teachers assembled there, and strange to say- a lot of 'em allowed themselves to laugh and talk to each other after the main teacher fDr. Withersj had called the meeting to order. What would they do to us if we did something like that? But then, that's only another of the world's great paradoxes. Four good engagements, among them the Chamber of Commerce, had to be turned down because they came during the Hu season. However, the number of old-timers was augmented by a new Hutist, and a new cello play-er. These two added a lot to the personnel of instruments. Also, five old members came back to play with the or- chestra. Bob Walsh, Saxophone Bob, came back in his sailor uni- formg Bob Lund came back in a new suit, and Ethel Knobeloch, Grace Wright and Edith Gonzales came back with as much pep as ever. Unusual things are looked for from the Orchestra next term and we are sure it won't disappoint us. -Jerome Simon The Chaminade T the close of last term Chaminade officers were elected for 5 2.-' . . . Qfgft-. 'I' this semester. Five of them were seniors. They were: president, Gertrude Kehlg vice-president, Hennie Semmel- t q , meyerg secretary, Louise Rileyg trasurer, Adelaide Kalk- ' mang Scrip correspondent, Frances Feldkampg librarians, Alice Barnett and Anna Loftus, and sergeant-at-arms, Lu- cile Duggan. -Frances Feldkamp Camera Club Many of the Camera Club's former members have gone into military serviceg a great many of them graduated in june. Conse- quently the club membership for this term has been small. Prep- arations are being made now for an exhibit, to be given in the near future. 57 G I e e C I u b I NDER. our new faculty director, Mr. Hall, the Soldan Crlee ,fs I Club IS-P'I'OgI'CSS1l'lg rapidly and is gradually getting into tg , I the position in which the club of last term left itself. Many ' things have interfered with our proceedings, the greatest of these being the closing of schools on account of the Hu. When school opened in September, about Fifteen boys of last year's club reported. The following officers were elected: Arthur Brigham, president g Henry Grote, vice-presidentg Sterling Harkins, secretaryg Hart Fischer, treasurer, and jack Crandall, Scrip representative. These ofhcers immediately started to listen around the school for some good voices, the result being a snappy and full of pep glee club of twenty-five members. Although school closed twice during the term, the prosperity of the club has been remarkable, and by the beginning of the term starting in january, 1919, we expect to be able to produce the best and most popular glee club of all the high schools. At the close of school for the Christmas holidays we had a. big business meeting. Among those present was Walter Peltason, graduate member of the club, who gave us a very interesting and instructive talk upon the management of a glee club. We are proud to say that Walter, together with about thirty other men, was chosen out of one hundred and fifty candidates for the Missouri University Glee Club. Boys, you'd better start out now on the road for a membership in the Glee Club of that college to which you intend to go, and join the Soldan noisemakers right away. -jack Crandall, 5. C a d e t s Parade, Rest! Like the movement of a single person, every cadet falls into position, and the bugles blare as the Hag comes down. Fellows, this is a mighty inspiring sight, but you have to do it to get the real thrill. After drill you go home with a good appetite- feeling that you have done your bit, and you whistle, Pack Up Your Troubles- oh well, you know the rest. -Charles Hurd, 6. ' The Mandolin Club S is the case with a great many organizations of the school, 'P the Mandolin Club has not been as active this term as 1 it would have been under ordinary circumstances. Of ff , course, such meetings as could be held were used for prac- K-ss tice, but the opportunities for coming together were few . and far between. A large number of new pieces were re- ceived and worked upon, but no chance was given for the performance d .2 X . 58 of them. A medley of popular pieces has also been arranged by Mr. Pitcher and Bruce Evans. A number of the stars on Soldan's service flag represent members of the Club, both members of former years and members of this year's organization. Stewart Jenkins and James Travilla are in last year's list, and Reid Cornwall and Gerard Johnston left at the beginning of the current term. Johnston is a Devil Dog and Cornwall is a bird-man. A lot of new material was secured this term, and the outlook for next term is promising. At the beginning of this semester many en- gagements could have been filled by the Club, but of course had to be turned down. The most important one, however, was the engagement that the Club is always sure of getting, and that was the Graduation Day program. It has always been, and always will be, the custom of the Mandolin Club to play at the graduation exercises. Not one year has yet been missed and no amount of lack of practice can cause one to be missed. And so ends one more Mandolin Club season, a little dull perhaps, but sure to be followed next term with more life than ever before. -Jerome Simon. This Term's War Activities OW that the war is over we ma look back upon our share :fi y Soldan did not participate in the actual sale of the t, Fourth Liberty Loan Bonds last September and October, A A A but we took an active part in the campaign. Four-minute n speeches promoting the sale of Liberty Bonds were made by all pupils in their English classes, and patriotic meetings were held in our auditorium which aroused a deep feeling of patriotism among all present. The sale of Thrift Stamps was successfully carried out in the term meetings until October 7, with a total sale amounting to 82,373.12 Despite the fact that concentrated study was made necessary by the Hu ban, class time and energy was devoted to the United War Work Campaign. Dr. Smith, a Y. M. C. A. worker, gave us such an interesting address in the auditorium that we were inspired to pledge ourselves to make 33,500 our quota toward that worthy fund. As usual, Soldan went over the top and came out with a subscription of about 83,700, and oh! such a display of buttons as we had in the corridors! Our knitters, too, have been steadily at work with the result of a good term's output. The following garments have been completed: 103 sweaters, 148 pair of socks, 23 helmets, 5 pair of wristlets, 4 trench caps and 4 scarfs. That is just splendid, and we congratulate the makers on their faithful work, but suggest that they persuade others to join their happy throng and knit, knit, KNIT! -ggpi in the winning of it. ,.

Instead of being friendly rivals they are now teammates. This organization, like many others, has suffered greatly by the closing orders of the influenza ban. Practically no work at all other than selecting the debating team has been accomplished. However, prospects for this literary organization seem exceptionally good for next term. Speaking of debates, the next interscholastic debate will take place early next term, when Soldan battles Cleveland over the question, Should a civil commission form of government be adopted ? Soldan will be well represented by Dragen, Yawitz, and Schettler, a trio of regular machine-gunners with words. Although the exact date of the debate is as yet unknown, the team and the Forum-Congress seeks the earnest co-operation and support of the school for the occasion. The club ollicers are as follows: Michael Drazen, president, Al- win Schettler, vice-president, and Sidney johnson, secretary. If you can speak or if you think you can speak, join the Forum-Con- gress. g -R. S. F. Commercial Club just to show what a real, live club can do, the Commercial Club has been showing the real pep of the times, and is doing very interesting and valuable work. The aim is to prove the real value of a four-year course in high school, and the advantages of the four- year Commercial course over two years in the same work. The mem- bers have got in touch with Soldan graduates who have positions, and are charting the positions and salaries. The club membership for this year has been large. Botany Club The Botany Club has two Firm beliefs: first, that every boy and girl loves a good timeg and second, that the only place to get it is in the Botany Club of Soldan. Besides the instruction and useful side of it, there is fun-and that fun in the superlative! Of course there are hikes, and parties Qthe last party was on December 313. On the hikes there is a happy combination of work and play, and at the parties-Say! Isn't that enough? Come on and join. 60 L4-..

Once more the interscholastic championship AL A for that sport comes to Soldan. The tennis team, consist- ing of Pasmore, Bassler and Drew in the singles, and Gaddis and Frank in the doubles, swept everything before them, winning fourteen matches out of a possible sixteen. As to individual stars, there were none. Each man on the team played a steady, consistent game throughout the season. Pasmore and Bassler, both veterans of last season, upheld their reputations with well- placed drives and sizzling lawfords to all parts of the courts and had their opponents guessing at all times. Richard Drew, playing his first year of interscholastic tennis, deserves much credit for his good work. Lack of experience and nervousness probably prevented him from play- ing his best game, but next year he should prove a very valuable man. In the doubles, Gaddis and Frank were returned winners in every match they played. Their co-operation and team-work was beyond com- parison and they were easily the best doubles team in the league. Both Bassler and Frank will be lost to the team next fall, as Clyde graduates this january, and Frank leaves in june. However, with Pasmore and Drew as a foundation in the singles and Gaddis as a nu- cleus in the doubles, Soldan's prospects for next year are not in the least Following is a brief review of the sesaon's matches: THE YEATMAN MATCHES The series of matches with Yeatman, which were as important to the tennis team as the Central game was to the football team, resulted in a Soldan victory. Pasmore and Drew exhibited wonderful tennis in their respective matches. Both pulled up from behind and overcame big leads which their opponents possessed. Pasmore defeated Dan Deisel by the score of 3-6g 6-3: 6-23 while Drew was returned win- ner over Bliekamp in a three-set match, the scores of which were 4-63 8-63 6-3. In the other singles match, Bassler was not as fortunate as his teammates, losing to Ferguson, 6-lg 6-4. In the doubles, Gaddis and Frank were easily winners over Stahlig and Miller, the socres being 6-33 6-2. THE CENTRAL MATCHES Against Central, the team made a good showing, winning all four matches. There was nothing flashing or spectacular during any of these matches. Pasmore beat Ryman by scores of 4-63 6-43 6-3. 61 Bassler defeated Hewitt, 9-75 6-45 while Drew won from Schuster, 3-6g 8-65 6-2. Gaddis and Frank romped away with the doubles match, beating Barker and Cooper two love sets. THE MCKINLEY MATCHES Little opposition was encountered by the team against our old rivals. As in the Central matches, a clean sweep was again made. All three of the singles men played in Fine style and all were returned easy winners. Gaddis and Frank, as usual, brought home the bacon, winning from the McKinley combination by love sets. THE CLEVELAND MATCHES These four matches with our Southside rivals proved the most in- teresting set of matches during the live days of playing. The loss of the Cleveland matches would have caused a tie, so the team redoubled its efforts to come out on top. The only bad feature was the defeat of Drew by Groerich. The contest was hard fought, but the Cleveland player was finally returned winner, the scores being 8-63 6-2. The feature match was between George Pasmore and Cliff Placke. The two battled for three sets with George winning out in the last only. Both men played good tennis throughout the match, but the Cleveland star was inclined to be slightly wild. Pasmore, taking advantage of this, and using some nifty strokes in between P1acke's wild ones, forged his way to the top. The scores were 8-6g 4-63 6-2. Another interest- ing match was between Bassler and Moult. Bassler won, 9-73 1-6g 6-45 but it was by no means a runaway. The Cleveland man played a steady, conservative game which Bassler only overcame by terrific driving and smashing when Moult came to the net. Our doubles team again forged to the front by beating the enemy, Selinger and Fox, by scores of 6-45 4-6g 6-2. The match was well played and the winners deserve all the credit given them.

F o o tb a II , GLANCE backward over the football season just past will id' easily convince anyone that Soldan teams never lie down fig on the 'ob. After losin the First frame to Central, the team ,C - J g lv K ii braced up and showed a fighting spirit and a team-work . t which defeated all other rivals in a way that made the whole city sit up and take notice. A brief review of So1dan's record this year, omitting all the unnecessary alibi stuff, certainly ought to convince even the most skeptical that Old Man Jinx was the principal cause of the Gold and Brown's landing in second place. As it did with everything, the Hun interfered greatly with practice at the beginning of the schedule. When Soldan took the field against Central, the week after the quarantine was lifted, the boys had had no real practice games to steady and experience them. With only one let- ter man back from last year, they badly needed this experience. On the other hand, Central had had several practice games, and went into the game with more asssurance than our boys had. So1dan's inexperience was shown from the start and several bad breaks gave Central a safety and a field goal, netting them five points. This seemed to take the heart out of the team until Horlow suddenly came to life and intercepted a forward pass, running sixty yards for a touchdown. Kling kicked goal, and with the score standing seven to five in our favor, our team began its grand march down the field. Our backs tore through the openings made by our linemen for many first downs, and it loked as if we had the game sewed up until Yorger, the Central quarterback, fell into one of our trick plays, and raced through an open Held for a touchdown, making it eleven to seven in Central's favor. But our players had regained the old Soldan spirit, and they fought like true sons of the Gold and Brown until the whistle blew, ending the game with a defeat for Soldan. Many a Soldan man broke down and cried in the dressing room, but none were ashamed, for it was a glorious de- feat for our team, as it showed the true mettle of our players. Fearing a repetition of last year's record, in which Soldan lost the first game and followed that up with two more defeats, the fathers of each player gave a talk to the boys in their dressing room, after prac- tice on the following Monday. This was followed by a meeting at Mr. Bilheimer's, in which Mr. Hick, Mr. Cook and Ed Sprague spoke to the boys and drew from each a pledge to get a touchdown the first ten minutes of play. On Friday evening before the game the team was called into the auditorium where, in the presence of the school and old Soldan players, each player spoke a word or two to show his deter- mination to win. Archie Klein addressed the school, after which the 64 student body pledged its support. It was one of the greatest pep meetings in the history of our school, and as a result the team took the field the next day with that grand old Soldan spirit to win. It was a hard-fought game. Our first offensive was checked, and not until the last minute of the first half did either side score. Then, with one minute to play, on that same trick play that caused our defeat by Central, Billy dropped back and passed the ball over the line to San Souci, who touched it down for six points. Claypool kicked goal. making it seven to nothing in our favor. Thus it stood until the final whistle. McKinley had been defeated for the first time in three years by a Soldan team. The Yeatman game proved to be another victory for the Gold and Brown. With the same snap and team-work that characterized the McKinley game, Soldan easily piled up a forty-one to nothing score against the North Siders. Yeatman put up a good game' but they were outclassed from the start. In the last quarter Soldan made four touchdowns, with Billy and Claypool maneuvering behind a line com- posed almost entirely of eager Soldan substitutes. It was a great disappointment when it was learned that Cleveland preferred to forfeit rather than buck up against our Gold and Brown warriors. Cleveland seems to have fallen into the habit of coming out on the bottom. They need more school support, as this is one of the principal things in helping a team to win, as was shown by the Soldan- McKinley contest. Out of the three strongest teams, Soldan finished second. By the following comparisons of some of the scores, it can easily be seen that the Gold and Brown machine outclassed the Central eleven: Soldan, 7, McKinley, Og Central, 7, McKinley, 3g Soldan, 41, Yeatman, 7g Cen- tral, 30, Yeatman, 0. This Season and Next 'T LL has been said and done. Coach Cook certainly deserves to be congratulated upon turning out such a fine piece of D N football machinery from a lot of inexperienced players. K The school is proud of the way every one of the fellows . 5 went into the thing and showed the old Soldan fighting spirit. If ever there was a team that came back, and came back with a punch, that team is the Gold and Brown of this year. Four Soldan men were chosen for the 1918 All-Interscholastic team. They are Cann, Dunn, Gazzolo and San Souci. Each one of these Gold and Brown huskies has played a great game of football throughout the season, and has well earned his place. Cann, Gazzolo and San Souci 4..- were big factors in So1dan's line, that line which once held McKinley for downs, within the shadow of our goal posts, in the contest with the South Siders. Dunn, whose work was one of the causes for Sol- dan's big gains in the McKinley game, has been said to be one of the greatest open-field runners Soldan has had since the days of Archie Klein. With a good percentage of the 1918 squad back next year, Soldan has the very brightest prospects before it. With the grand old Gold and Brown grit, and lots of pep, we certainly should land the Yale Bowl in 1919. So let's be getting ready now to jump right in at the start next year and clean up. Soldan, 7,' Central, 11 gf g 'iv E o enin ame of the football season was rather a dis- 'ffifi p g g appointment to both our team and ourselves. Rain, last- QL ing for a day and night previous to Saturday, November KI' I' 16, made the Held very soggy so that trick plays or plays 5 , requiring fast work could not be attempted. Soldan, al- though beaten in the end, played a strong, steady, aggres- sive game with right halfback Freddie Dunn starring. Central, too, must be given credit for their Fine team-work. The first scoring came early in the game when Captain Minne- gerode of Central, made a difficult drop-kick from the 35-yard line, which gave his team a three-point lead. To even matters Harlowe in- tercepted a Central pass and raced 65 yards for a touchdown. Clay- pool kicked goal, making the score seven for Soldan against Central's three. The second half resolved itself into a plugging affair with Soldan having the edge through virtue of superior line-plunging by Claypool and Calhoun. As the game drew to a close Soldan once more came within striking distance of the enemy's goal. A forward pass was called, but the ball was intercepted by Yorger, the Central quarter, who outran the Soldan team for 98 yards and made a touchdown. Although Minnegerode missed the goal, Central came into the lead eleven to seven, which eventually proved enough to win the game. Cann, who was substituted for Block, played an excellent game, and was responsible for many Central losses. Central's other two points came in the first quarter when Soldan fumbled and recovered behind their own goal, giving Central a safety.

McKinley was completely outclassed i J from start to iinish. The Gold and Brown team worked like a well- oiled machine, driving everything before them in continual marches down the held. The first quarter ended with neither team having scored. At no time was McKinley in scoring distance of our goal, and for that matter we never reached theirs. This initial period resolved itself in a kicking duel between Gazzolo and Horton, with the McKin1eyite having the advantage. The next quarter brought the points sufficient to win the game. After steady plugging, the ball was brought to McKinley's 12-yard line. Dunn's end runs and Claypool's terrific line smashes were chiefly re- sponsible for bringing the ball to this point. With only a few minutes of the half remaining, Bilheimer called a fake line buck and then dropped back several yards, making a neat pass to San Souci, who was waiting behind the goal line. Claypool kicked goal. The last half proved a zig-zag, up-and-down the field aFfair with Soldan having the edge on plunging and passing. In this part of the game McKinley opened her famous passing game. But much to every- one's surprise the passes failed utterly. The throws were inaccurate and wild, not one pass being completed. During this half Ewing re- placed Calhoun at half and Stover took Souci's place at end. Both played a very creditable game and should show up well next year. 67 :fre 1 fl A ef-be -2 ' if V -'1.f:- J-4 '+Je'e.-- Soldan McKinley Sullivan L. E. Fries Gazzolo L. T. B. Hobson Zellinger L. G.

Soldan, 41,' Yeatman, 7 ,4f,,,?'.-lip TOCKINGS, jerseys and blankets of Gold and Brown an- wwe nounced the coming of the Soldan team, as they filed, one by one, from the dressing room door. Instantly the stands were in a tumult. Girls waved pennants, boys drummed on the seats with their feet, and old grads went wild at the sight of the Soldan team, and those colors so dear to them. Nor were they alone in their welcome. The Red and Black por- tion of the bleachers joined in welcoming a team which, but a few weeks before, had put up such a stiff iight against the more fortunate Central eleven. The team had Won the respect and admiration of every school in the city by their wondrous come-back against McKinley. As a result all eyes were turned upon the Soldan squad. Eleven blankets were tossed aside, as eleven eager youths settled down to a snappy signal drill before the game. Each man, a cog in a well-oiled machine, shifted and charged as one, as they prepared for the coming fray. Yeatman, our opponents, soon took the field, and after warming up, they announced their readiness to fight it out for the second place honors. The two teams lined up against each other and the game was on. The Gold and Brown team showed its supremacy from the start, although Yeatman put up a good Fight in the First half, which ended with Soldan leading, 14-7. During th-e intermission, the boys were repeatedly reminded of the showing Central had made against Yeatman. This hurt, and they took the Held in the second half, with a determination to pile up a larger score than that of our mid-city rivals. During the third quarter Yeatman used their last line of defense in an effort to check the advance of the Soldan machine. In this quarter, Dunn and Calhoun, our dashing halfbacksf' were forced to retire on account of injuries, and the work of advancing the ball fell practically upon Billheimer and ss - 5.--.,-.. e,- .--Na--. .,.-..,?.:,,-2 V-1: ea-- ' -1 , 41 if: 'W . ii: i3' Claypool, as they were the most experienced men in the backlield. Yeatman succeeded in holding our team scoreless during this period, but their strength was spent, and they took the Field in the last quarter with a much weakened team. On the other hand, the Soldan team seemed to have steamed up, and they opened up with an offensive such as never before was witnessed in an interscholastic game. The Blue and Gold line crumbled and gave way before the battering offensive launched by the Gold and Brown machine. Four touchdowns were made within a period of ten minutes. Our boys seemed always to want just one more and with only one minute play, they received the ball and by a number of line plunges and forward passes, advanced it to Yeatman's own 10-yard line before the final whistle blew, ending the game with a 41-7 victory for the Gold and Brown. This was four points more than Central scored against Yeatman. Although the game lacked the usual high school class, it was an interesting game to watch, as brilliant runs featured throughout the game, causing the Gold and Brown cheer leaders to be continually on the go. The outstanding feature of the game was the steadiness of our titanic line. With Dunn and Cal out of it, the chances of winning the game lay only in the success of Claypool's line bucks. This the line realized, and they made such breaches in the Yeatman line that Claypool had little trouble in making large and numerous gains. Clay also kicked Five straight goals, tying the interscholastic record. Much credit needs to be given to Long's kick-offs, Bil1y's rare judgment, and the line in general, for forming a line equal in strength to that of Gibral- tar. The team needs to be congratulated upon its splendid showing, and we offer our hearty congratulations to Coach Cook, upon forming this formidable machine from a lot of green and inexperienced players.

Two hundred pounds of muscle, with Soldan spir- it, has made him a second Gibraltar, invincible and game to the last. San Souci, End. Small, but like Napoleon, mighty. A sure tackler, and a man that certainly deserves the all-star berth given him. Stover, End. A plugging, hard-working substitute who puts his whole heart into the game and made good. Ewing, Halfback. A hard-working man who, with this year's experience, will help greatly in winning the championship next year. Kling, End. Our only letter man, but owing to sickness we had to do without him this season. Better luck next year, George. Fowler, Quarterback. Second team pilot, and out every day for practice. With a little more weight, watch him next year. French, Block, Becket and Harkins were injured early in the season, and were forced to turn in their clothes. They were greatly missed, as they were all first-class players. Dyer, Johnston, MacBurney, Miller, Randall, Homburg and Weil were the outstanding substitutes of this year. Much is expected of them in 1919. -Arthur Brigham, 5. ro Basketball Babble Q Tuesday evening, January 7, Soldan won its first impor- fmt tant basketball game, defeating the strong Kingshighway C' 3 Church team by a score of 31-16. This was really the first big game, and our team showed up well, winning the game . by fast and clever playing. Former interscholastic stars composed the opposing team, of which Ted Schuster, a former Soldan guard, was the outstanding player. Smith, last year's all-star forward, rejoined the Soldan team after being discharged from the S. A. T. C., and with him and Long working at forwards, Soldan has two valuable men. Each of them played a brilliant game, keeping the Kingshighway guards continually on the jump. Calhoun, at cen- ter, showed up well, covering the floor with his long, sweeping strides, and keeping always on the heels of his opponent on the defensive. Gazzola played his usual bang-up game at guard, feeding our for- wards with his long passes, and bucking up-the opponents' plays with clock-like regularity. jack Lynn, although the lightest man on the team, proved himself to be a real gem at guard. With him and Lou as guards, opposing forwards will have their hands full. This is jack's first year out, but he is not a green man at the game, and much is expected of him. The loss of Dutch French, a two-letter man at basketball, who has been confined to the sick-bed for several weeks, will be greatly felt, as he was a clever forward, and an experienced player. On the same evening, the Soldan Reserves met the Kings- highway Reserves in a preliminary game, and won out by a score of 27-18. Stevenson, Reamer, Dobbins, and Thomas starred for the Re- serves. Coach Plag has a valuable bunch of substitutes to pick frorn, in case any of the regulars are injured or go stale. The team as a whole showed real class, and the pennant bug has already begun to buzz around the Soldan gym. The school has never shown any great amount of pep in supporting the basketball teams, but after such a hard-luck football season, they should be all the more eager to see the Soldan team cop the pennant. The team has it in them to win, and with the same school spirit that characterized the Soldan-McKinley football game, they are sure to come out on top. Coach Plag has developed the team, and it is now up to the school to develop the Royal Routers, in order to cheer our boys on to suc- cess. The schedule opens on January 18, when the Gold and Brown team meet our old rivals, McKinley, in the first game. Let's all turn out and show the same spirit we had at the football game against McKinley, and we are sure to have the same results. Come and bring your voice. 1 6523 01,5 K V' f GSW 'L x ff ENTOWOFATHE A - boLsH:vu rx I TATTLER Adzpfx V .,-A-F b 4 1, I nw. WHRT'S-BCCOP1E'OF- Ham ?

Elizabeth Dougherty: In Latin she is very smart, But Virgil and Caesar have worried her heart. Lillian Burgaetz: Lillian Burgaetz is a typist so fine, She'll get a good job in the bread winning line. George Chamberlain: Yes, he has spoken once or twice, And from these words, he's very nice. Irene Clark: So bright a head has Irene Clack, That without a light it's seen i' the dark. Martha Harvey: A little maiden small and sweet, With real small hands, but larger feet. Evelyn Miller: Your name, my dear, is ill we see, But we are glad it isn't thee. Helen Moberly: Helen of Troy, you could never com- pare With Helen of Soldan who knits more than her share. Mae Strader: We Mae Strader print this line, But think that that way's just fine. Eleanor Ro Bards: She speaks in Latin, in Spanish and Greek, And when she laughs she laughs in a squeak. Irving Rosenfeld: From one set of teachers, he ne'er got their wrath, And those were the ones who with joy taught him math. Harold Jungman: . This poor young man with Mr. Moe's axe, Was threatened with death by Miss Lomax Adelaide Kalkman: Fast as a snail, thin as a trunk f??J And loves to compose all this kind of junk. Helen Wood: Her hair of red we'l1 see some day, For Helen Wood and does they say. Vivien Myers: A little vamp they say you are, And we agree: one up to par. George Paasch: A quiet little boy he's been, But then he's only seventeen. Louise Riley: A real buttersball, so neat and so blond, And with a strange walk does she get around. Charles Terney: His head is made of natural curls, None can make him speak to girls. Margaret Thomas: Modest and shy and fair as a dove, She reminds me of angels in the sky up above. David Tucker: Alas, poor Yorick, we knew him well, But can't think of a thing to tell. Ella Vornbrock: May the rock of success at the end of your name, Be a Firm foundation for your hall of fame. Alex. Walther: If in your name the h were z , It would be more befitting thee. Irene Wayne: Irene, I wish you'd tell me: If you prefer the park or smithy? Bessye Williams: Winsome Bessye Willy Often acts quite silly. iliiifl LmlvI'flU1I ' 'W uf' . ., ml I I M X 'li IuI6 J- :,5,,f55lfill.uf in ig - M.

All know your glories as do we, So we must tell where you are funny, Or if you do not funny be, We tried to show your queer hobby. And then if neither could be found We wrote just something quite un- sound. Now take it in the light of joke And us with words and books don't soak. These are heroic couplets-we have struggled with them long enough to know. This we say is A.-G.-K.-ted fun. We certainly thank you one and all To have this duty on us fall, We've tried our best with all our might, And even dreamed of it at night, And worried folks with it at home Until we almost were made to roam: So as Addandad now leave Soldan, They wish the class the best what am. Adelaide Lou Kalkman, 8. Addine Gradwohl, 8. Gertrude Mitchell: It is a fact that she's so thin CPD She sure can't hide behind a pin. Olivette Tacke: That is what the book says, always gets her through: If she had no book, what would this poor girl do? Helen Mackaye: A teacher Mac and a pupil Mackayeg When she didn't Hunk she heaved a sigh. Oliver Lane: When he came back from S. A. T. C., In his old school clothes he was glad to be. Carl Fisher: A very little man we say, And think the same thing every day. Esther Scherer: She plays the piano and never tires, And can dance as if she were on wires. Frederic Von Harten: The news that he was in our class Came to us quite late, alas! Are you ready? cried Helen Wood, In one twenty six one day, O, please all act as you should On the day that we give the play. Let everyone cry, 'Gentlemenl' You, Horatio, be more sedate. Talk slower, Alice Lockwood. Adelaide, you're just great! 77 Walk slower, both you courtiers! Miss Feldkamp, you can't be beat! Sophie, when will you learn your part? Adelia, it's 'Sweets to the sweet! ' After Hamlet wept o'er Yorick's skull, And Ophelia's funeral attended, From the grave Laertes was dragged And the scene from Hamlet was ended. -Hilda Edelman, 8. TATTLER Three times a scroll, a goose quill Pen, A quart of midnight oilg I wrote and scratched, and scratched, and wrote, My head was bowed with toil. My brain was blank and weak and numb, In vain I tried to think, Should England to the States con- cede? -Again a pint of ink. The hour grew late, the morning dawned, Undone I left my workg I wonder which I love the best, Edmund or Billie Burke? -Frances Kessler. Miss Jones: Why did Hamlet speak in Latin to his father's ghost? G. R.: Because it's a dead language. AUNT AD VEIS COLUMN. Dear Aunt Ad: I've often been told all I need to be a Lady Killer is a mustache which I proceeded to cultivate, but I can't get any farther than just above sur- face when the boys grab me and once more I'm where I began... I'd do most anything real desperate, how- ever, I haven't yet, so fear not! All I want to know is how did Hughes do it? -Hair Breath Harry. Dear Harry: Maybe the other fellows are jealous because they haven't had occasion to borrow Paw's razor thus far. Don't let such things daunt you and remem- ber the old motto: If once you fail - oh, you remember the rest. Anyway, the practice may help you in the com- ing profession of raising alfalfa. -Aunt Ad.
