To this end we have taken the underlines for the senior section and the suggestions for most of the art work, especially the title pages, from the novels and sketches of Charles Dickens. The seniors, having used this same theme for their Stunt Day, will, we trust, find the pages of this book the more interesting, and we hope that you who are not seniors will enjoy and approve what we have done.

DUNN THE Monthly Report of the Superintendent of Septem- ber 13, 1927, records the resignation of Mrs. Julia D. Dunn, Second Assistant, Soldan High School. In appre- ciation of many years of service devoted to the schools of this city, it is recommended that Resolutions on the resignation of Mrs. Dunn, drawn up by a Committee of the Soldan faculty and submitted below, be printed in the records of the Printed Proceedings of the Board. Resignation of Mrs. julia D. Dunn HE Soldan High School thinks it Fitting at this time to take cognizance of the Fifty years of faithful service that Mrs. Julia D. Dunn has given to the city of St. Louis-a record broken by practically no period of absence during that long time. Throughout these years of service, Mrs. Dunn has had an opportunity to help in molding the characters of many men and women prominent in this community. Her influence has been felt strongly, not only in the school, but also in the fireside duties of home, and the religious duties of church. Her co-operation, earnestness, and rigid adherence to principle were coupled with a kindly and friendly interest in all. She counts among her friends her many associates in the elementary and high schools where she has been a member of the respective faculties, and hosts of former pupils-men and women, boys and girls. Mrs. Dunn began her career as teacher in the Eliot School, and successively taught in that and the following schools: Eliot, Peabody, Stoddard, the Branch High, the Normal High, Central High. She was transferred to the Soldan High School in September, 1909, and taught continuously there until June, 1927. The faculty of the Soldan High School go on record in this expression of appreciation for the long and faithful service, with best wishes for many years of happiness and satisfaction to Mrs. Dunn in the future.

When asked by his father why he did not also say something of what he knew, the youth replied: I fear lest they should question me about something of which I am ignorant whereby I should suffer shame. This wise young man understood that he who restrains his tongue gains possession of his mind and that the fool, who babbles and argues, exulting in his own folly, wastes his energies in unprofitable channels. In his philosophy of living, George Clemenceau, wartime Premier of France, says: Where you find the most words you find the least action. He states that ACTIONS, NOT WORDS-FACTA NON VERBA, our motto-enlarge the soul and make for harmony and con- tentment and that the question at the gates of Heaven will surely be: What have you done? and not: What did you promise to do ? Mr. Clemenceau maintains that he should like to be remembered as the one man who had the opportunity to do things and afterwards kept his mouth shut about it. Thomas Carlyle, in his writings, likewise brings out the importance of DEEDS NOT WORDS thus: Looking around on the noisy inanity of the world, works with little meaning, actions with little worth, one loves to reflect on the great Empire of 'Si1ence'g the noble, silent men, scattered here and there, each in his departrnentg silently thinking, silently workingg whom no Morning Newspaper makes mention of! They are the salt of the earth. A country that has none or few of these is in a bad way, like a forest which had no rootsg which had all turned into leaves and boughsg-which must soon wither and be no forest. Woe for us if we had nothing but what We can show or speak. The Book of Proverbs states: He that hath knowledge spareth his words: and a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit. Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding. With these thoughts in mind, the class of january '28 chose FACTA NON VERBA --deeds not words-for its motto--a worthy motto for a worthy class. -Mildred V.

Soldan's Agora is also the scene of much activity, and of lively dis- r cussions. It is composed of the chairmen of the sixty-Five -1 A advisory groups of the school, and meets every day at the eighth period under the sponsorship of Miss Brown. In the advisory groups, the chairmen help their advisors in many ways. Through instructions given at the Agora meetings, they take the attendance, handle all Scrip and Scrippage subscriptions, boost the sale of Scrip advertisements, sell tickets to various entertainments given by school organizations, and serve in innumerable other capacities. One important duty of each chairman is to compute the citizenship quotient of his group after the issuance of the report cards each quarter. The chairmen hand in their C. Q. sheets to a special committee in the Agora, where the mathematical calculations are checked and the results recorded for publication in Scrippage. The Agora has itself taken steps in the development of the C, Q. formula. Occasionally during the eighth period its members serve as mes- sengers for the ofiice. The Agora also checks the program cards written by the pupils of the school. The organization is still young. What greater responsibilities will be put upon it remains to be seen. Last term, Mr. Powell told the chairmen that he had once considered making them a jury to try a boy who had committed some offense. The Agora is willing and anxious to serve in this capacity, and it sincerely hopes that it may become, as the terms go by, a more and more useful organization in Soldan.

Like today Scrippage,' at Soldan is the paper most read most enjoyed by Soldan students. Poor Richard's Almanac, which was a publication full of sayings and apt proverbs, became immensely popular soon after it been started in 1732. It replaced trash with sound, good litera much of it original. Its epigrams beginning Poor Richard says became famous. In his almanac Franklin wrote of things in which colonial comm ties were interested. In like manner the Scrippage Staff, aided by three classes in English composition, endeavors to publish a p which contains articles of interest to Soldan students. Has it ceeded? rather than Does it deserve to succeed? is the impor question, the answer to which must be found in the support given paper by the student body. That Scrippage is invaluable for reference is attested by the that the volumes, carefully bound, have gained a place in the archiv the school. ,, Today Poor Richard's Almanac is placed among the treas things of history. So may Scrippage, years-perhaps centuries-h be esteemed a treasure by those who are interested in the promotio journalistic art. 4 x f :KN ' X , f ' 'ww .4 X I' 50 the en- only general reading matter of the country folk, who nter- wise and Wise had ture, soon uni- the aper suc- tant the fact es of ured ence nof E77 611 How toiSta1't the Day Wrong x fi--fl was wholly unaware that this fateful morning in january would mean what it did to him He was 1n the best of ,Liar spirits when he awoke that morning. He even sang as he arose to get the morning papers and sat in bed to read them, a privilege only allowed him on Sunday. After hav- ing unjustly overworked this privilege, he still retained enough good humor to do a few exercises. Then he put on bed room slippers and bath-robe and proceeded to the kitchen to take in the milk and butter. This was the wife's job, but Mr. Carter Duncan was happy this morn- ing, so he would take in milk and butter. He then made ready the coffee pot and put it on the stove to percolate. While waiting he made ready a tray of dishes and whistled about the kitchen. The wife was not up yetg what a surprise this would be for her! ,S ARTER DUNCAN, a very respectable citizen of New York, T f' , ra' . , -, Now Mr. Duncan was a very good husband, and he had other quali- ties too. In fact, it was a shame to pick on him as fate was about to do. The coffee was ready, and so was Mr. Duncan. He took the tray and pot over to his wife's bedroom and knocked. A sleepy Come in, Carter was returned for his knock. His wife received the shock of her life, but he was able to control her. They had their coffee together and talked over the past and present days. They both read the papers over again, and then Mr. Duncan announced that he would take his bath first if Mrs. Duncan did not mind. The happy little wife evidently did not mind, for a few minutes later Mr. Duncan was trotting merrily for the fateful bathroom. His progress was halted by suddenly stepping on Bobbie's little garden rake. At first a few profane words escaped Mr. Duncan's lips, but then he was reconciled by peeping over the door of his little son's room, and, seeing the dear little face snuggled down in the pillows, Mr. Duncan went on down the hall, this time blessing his dear little boy, his dear little wife, and so-forth. By this time he had reached the bath room. He whistled happily as he drew the hot water and mixed in the cold water to suit his taste. He opened the window to peep out into the snow-covered world. He opened the window farther and stuck his head out to look around. A big drift of snow was right beneath his window. The slanted roof was the cause of that. It was quite deep, and he reflected that he and Bobbie would have quite a time in that snow that afternoon. Mr. Duncan let the cold breeze blow right on his manly chest. He wasn't so bad after all. Quite a figure too! He was ready for the tub. He turned to shut the window, but fate acted now. One small cake of 52 soap lay on the Hoor. One cake of soap, ninety-nine and forty-four hun- dred per cent pure. It was all Wet and slippery. Mr. Duncanfs left foot landed on the soap. His right foot landed, not, but his whole manly figure Went through the window as clean as a whistle. Five seconds later a frozen and embarrassed man of about forty was seen banging on the doors of his house. Mr. Duncan, garbed as Adam, was shivering and banging away at the front door, While a dis- tracted wife was banging at the bathroom door to ask her husband to answer the front door. He had landed in the snow bank, which he had expected to play in that afternoon. Mr. Duncan's manly figure was Finally let in, amid the chorus of neighboring children and shocked but amused glances of early morning church goers. -George Lowe, 5. A Cremonese Tale N THE dim dingy shop of Nicolo Amati in the little town fa? of Cremona, Antonio Stradivari has been working for many years trying to make a violin-a violin with a glorious ' M golden tone and a form as lovely as the morning coming fi -f A over the mountains--and most of all a violin with a soul. The master, Amati, praised by critics and fairly wor- shipped by his pupils, has become an unsympathetic, conceited, old know-it-all. Still Antonio has learned everything he knows of violin making in the domain of Amati and, hearing the clear, sweet tone of his master's instruments and seeing the improvement in them over the medieval sloping shouldered viols, he ever hesitates to suggest the improvements which are, even in his own mind, but faintly outlined. From day to day he works repairing and copying Amati models, but thinking more and more often of his violin and the improvements he will make some day. Often he sits gazing from his window with the light of genius in his eyes to be awakened harshly by some rebuke from the master. Long ago Amati dreamed the last of his dreams and, more- over, he has lost all sense of the infinite value of such dreams. Every day he sets more tasks before 'Tonio to keep him from idling. The genius in Antonio's soul cries out at the suppression, but the heart of Antonio always sings. When evening comes Antonio climbs a narrow path to a little cot- tage, tucked in among the mountains, where the vine-covered door frames a smiling wife and a brown-eyed little boy. At the sight of Antonio the little boy runs to him and is caught up gaily and carried shouting joyfully into the tiny house. 53 The supper of pungent Italian food is finished, and the erstwhile violin maker becomes a huge elephant, stepping proudly, caparisoned in splendor, and bearing a large houdah fitted in scarlet and gold, in which sits a young rajah with high held head surveying with indifference the world about him. The young monarch tires quickly and, sliding down from his royal mount, he artfully remarks, My father, if thou couldst be a tiger, I would hunt thee. A mighty chase ensues, but the prey is not caught, for a word from Mother Nina sends hunter and hunted into a tiny room where the hunter is tucked in his little bed, his prayers having been said within the encircling arms of a prowling tiger. But there comes an evening when the step of Antonio is not so light or his smile so bright. The scornful words of the master ring in his ears. Fool, dreamers have no place here, you make not even a poor fiddle! Take your tools. There are many young men waiting to take your place. And so the release of Antonio has come. Soon next the cottage on the mountain side there arises a little shop with a fiddle over the door and an inscription, Antonio Stradivari, Violinmakerf' Within a man works, and then looks mystified at what he has accomplished. The embryonic violin looks not like the dream in his mind but like all the old Amati models. Has the old routine killed his dream? He glances at the child on the Hoor busily working on his own dream violin. The boy's face is fiushed and his eyes bright as he is lifted in his father's arms. He exhibits the crude Work with childish enthusiasm. The rough scroll is large and the f holes incline at a crazy angle. Suddenly Antonio places the child on his feet and grasps the fiddle. His mind is in a whirl-Where has he seen such a fiddle before? Then his mind clears, and he knows the vision of his ideal has been brought back. Come, he says, we will show the mother thy little fiddle. And so in the weeks and months that follow 'Tonio works on his dream violin. It evolves into a lovely fragile thing with a massive scroll and graceful f holes inclining toward each other. To improve the acoustic properties 'Tonio strengthens the sides and equalizes the ten- sion. He perfects the bridge and coats it at last with rich varnish. When it is finished, Antonio finds that, although it is verily a thing of beauty, it still lacks that elusive something which has vivified his ideal, a soul. He lays it aside and, closing the little shop, crosses over to his home, disappointed, but with his faith in his vision still alive. When Antonio enters the door of the cottage, he feels that some- thing is wrong. In the baby's room, he finds his wife bending over the little crib trying to quiet the child. A sudden fever has seized him, and he lies moaning in delirium. All the evening the violin maker and his 54 a, - 4-c - 7 A - 4. -:Y --ff 11-.f -Y Y A A 4- wife watch at the bedside of the sick child, administering the remedies known to folk far from medical aid. Now while 'Tonio has been making his urnisshapen fiddle, the mountain folk have talked, and the news has traveled till it has reached Cremona and the workshop of Nicolo Amati. At length the news has come to the master's ear, piquing his curiosity and vanity, so that this very evening he is climbing the mountain on his Way to visit his ex- pupil to see this strange new fiddle. The moon is hidden in clouds, and as Amati stumbles on, he curses himself for a curious old idiot. As he approaches the cottage, he sees but one dim light. He knocks, and after a long while is admitted by 'Tonio himself. Abruptly Amati states the cause of his coming, and 'Tonio as abruptly refuses to leave the house While the child is so ill. At this moment Nina Stradivari enters and, courtesying to the master, says in the tone which Antonio always obeys, Please, 'Tonio, go with Signor Amati and show him the violin. The baby seems better, and I will watch. Silently master and pupil Walk to the shop. 'Tonio opens the door, takes the violin from its case, and places it in Amati's hand. The clouds have passed novv and the moon Hoods the shop with silver light. Amati tests and examines the violin closely, but 'Tonio takes little note for his heart is in the cottage. At length the master speaks scornfully, 'Tonio, 'tis but a box of wood. Then abruptly, Without another word, the master goes into the night and down the mountain, but Antonio has scarcely heard him speakg mechanically he takes the violin and walks home in the darkness, for the moon is again overcast with clouds. ' Beside the little crib Antonio kneels with his wifeg neither moves nor speaks, and all is silent. The moon breaks through the clouds, and the moonlight streams in at the window. Then, as the candle Hickers in a slight breeze, the child stirs and smiles! 'Tonio grasps his dream violin, lifts it and plays, as a star like a meteor shoots through the sky. The violin has found a soul! -Sophie Evers, 7. Trouthe-Honour-Fredom-Cutteisye YWXW , HUSH fell upon the court of Soldan With proud majesty 6, A21 ,.,., . -,fe ' - .

Full many a noble Soldanite has undertaken to master it, but has failed in the attempt. This fearsome monster is Latin. Groans of horror went up from the assembled court. Not one of them but had friends who were victims of the dread creatureg not one of them but had, at some time or other, done battle with it. I am ready to undertake the adventure, quietly spoke the knight. If the gods are willing I shall return, if not, then let my bones whiten on the desolated plains of Latium. With an enthusiasm never before attained, Prince Marlowe Martin led the court in sending up cheers for its heroic champion. Trouthe, Honour, Fredom, and Curteisye are the pure words of chivalry which grace your shield, declared the king. Obey the law of each, and you will surely triumph. Now, Sir New jay, hence! May the holy spirit of Saint Louis be ever at your side. The heralds blew a deafening blast! Sir New jay saluted with his lance, then, wheeling his charger about, dashed from the castle out into the open world beyond. Many uplifting thoughts and lofty desires filled his mind, but chief among the latter was an ambition to distinguish himself in his services to Soldan. Others have brought glory to the Gold and Brown banner! he criedg why should not I? For hours he rode without pause, his good steed apparently being tireless. Suddenly, there came to his ears a blood-curdling shriek, fol- lowed by a moaning that would have wrung the heart of an immortal. 56 74 - A- -- --Y Va. -T. - -ff a-5-.- Y 3-gi 2fY5iff!:f Turning his horse from the main road, he plunged into the woods which skirted the highway, and rode in the direction whence the sounds pro- ceeded. Soon he came to a broad stream, over which extended a narrow bridge. On the nearer side lay a knight in Beaumont's colors, gasping out his last. On the farther shore was a knight of huge proportions, clad in black armor, astride a monstrous charger. On his shield, in blazing red letters, appeared the motto: Central Fights. What fool is this who would contest the bridge with me? grimly demanded the Centralite. A golden glow streamed from the word Honour as Sir New Jay proudly answered, I am a soldier of Soldan, here to win your bridge or die in the attempt. The Centralite laughed heartily. Go hence, go hence, fair youth, he jeered, for I am a senior in my art, and likenot to waste my time upon a junior knight. Stung to the quick, Sir New jay answered hotly, Conceited clown, defend yourself! The Soldanite closed his helmet, levelled his lance, and dug his spurs into his horse's sides. The Centralite did the same. Crash! In the very center of the bridge the two champions did meet. A thousand sparks blinded Sir New Jay's Vision. His brain whirled, his arms tingled, and a violent trembling seized his every limb. For a full ten minutes he was in a complete daze, then gradually his senses were restored to him. Intense was his surprise upon discovering himself on the farther shore. On the opposite bank was the Centralite's steed quietly cropping the grass. At the bottom of the stream lay a silent figure clad in blackest mail. Sir New Jay shuddered, Hung his shivered lance away, and urged his weary mount deeper into the forest. He had not travelled far when he came upon an old, toothless hag, bent down beneath a heavy burden, and uttering maledictions and curses with every step she took. At her side swaggered a burly fellow, who constantly prodded her with a great club and bade her in no gentle speech to go faster. Sorry knave! cried Sir New jay, reining in his horse. Can you not relieve this poor old woman of her load? The rascal maintained a sullen silence. Celestial fire did sweep from the word Curteisye upon the good knight's shield. Saucy groom! roared Sir New jay, answer quickly, lest I slit your tongue! I am Discourtesy, himself ! retorted the addressed, surlilyg and this old crone is none other than Deceit, who must carry upon her shoul- ders the lies of all the world. On your way now, simpleton, and concern yourself not with the affairs of others.

Thus, on a balmy autumn afternoon, I found myself before the Castle Zell. It was, however, against the sincere warnings of the villagers. No sooner had I voiced my intention than the old innkeeper admonished me to remain in the village and not to venture upon the Craig of Castle Zell. But, my good man, I replied , no possible human harm can come to me! The old fellow blew a smoke-ring from his pipe, and then spoke: Right you are, sir! No human harm, but- So Castle Zell has a ghost, too? A wagging of heads and a strenuous puffing of pipes throughout the room was my answer. Piffle! Ghosts are but to frighten children! Not so with the Ghost of Castle Zell. Then you have not heard the legend ? The legend is worth repeating here: The second, and last, Margrave of Zell was a ruthless, murdering tyrant, styled by his contemporaries Otto the Crueln. Determined that he should possess the neighboring March of Bernkastle, he invited its ruler, a weak, trusting old man, to a festival held at the Castle Zell. The opportunity for which Otto had been Waiting cameg he had the old man murdered by hirelings and usurped the realm of his victim. Later -some say it was the curse of God-he became insane, and, in a moment of frenzy, killed himself. Since then his ghost has wandered about the castleg deeds, beyond the power of the common category of ghosts, have been attributed to him. Men who visit the castle have never been known to return. His latest victim, so they say, was a Berlin professor, Paul Teften. I bk Pk ak Not without some apprehension and feeling of insecurity, did I pass under the rusty portcullis into the court of' the castle. Try as I might, I could not dismiss the thoughtg the castle itself forboded mis- fortune. Those grim, granite walls, those dark, foul smelling passages, -what had they in store for me? A rattling of iron and the clanking of heavy chains broke the tomb- like stillness of the place- ss centuries against Time, but still dehant in its challenge- -.- I 1 -1-f - -greg gf- -wif Q--V .- V fx A, ,52.-374-f The portcullis had fallen! Prisoner in Castle Zell! And night fast approaching! Of course I would be missed in the morningg until then,-what? Men have never been knorwn to return . . . would I be his latest victim? A storm had been brewingg now the rain began its monotonous beating against the flag-stone court. Seeking out shelter, I crossed the court and entered a dark passage, or hall. By the aid of a short length of candle I ventured further into the recessg I had not gone far until my candle was snuffed by a draft that came from nowhere. Efforts to relight it proved futile, I threw it away in disgust. I then endeavored to retrace my steps, but encountered a blind passage. Perhaps I should have gone to the left, I comforted myself. But no! I soon found myself in the mist of a labyrinth worthy of Daedalus. I was lost! . . . Outside, the dull monotone of the rain . . . the tympanic accom- paniment of the thunder rising in crescendo. And I . . . lost! It was then that I noticed an object propped up against a corner of the passage. I walked over and touched it with my handy it crumpled beneath the weight. Over in another corner was another, this did not crumple .... My God! Had that been Paul Teften! Had they, too, been victims of this hellish pile? I prayed to God for a kinder fate. :xc :xc vs That Thing in the corner! Its presence destroyed my reasong Fear made its death-stroke.

By superhuman effort I pulled myself over the edge of the battle- ment. Surely the Thing would not follow here! My hopes fell as I saw the figure scrambling up the walls beneath me. Always closer . . . never faltering. I could go no furtherg before me lay sure death-a thousand or more feet it was to the valley below-behind me-the ever approaching Thing. 1 59 R..-, 5 ? 14:-5 ff-'bg'-11, -f -1:1 9-f v Q-3-.4-'R - .J-ffxf - Only twenty paces more . . . now fifteen . . . ten . . . and then five. . .

My body crumpled and sank to the stone, while above me loomed the menacing bulk of the Thing. My head went into a swirl, then all was black. The darkness was broken by blazing bodies of red, blue and green fire. Comets blazed' across the space before my eyesg an enormous sphere of vivid white fire burst into atoms-the darkness was gone. I looked up into the face of a smiling old man. One moment more, my friend, and I might have been too late. But here, take a drink of this water, you are still weak. As he said this he handed me a fiask, of which I partook heartily. After I had finished, he said, Really my friend, you should be more careful with that gun of yours--you nearly hit me ! But who are you? I exclaimed, still mystified. Promise that you will never repeat what I tell you, commanded the old man. I promise. He drew himself up magnificently. I am Paul Teften! Who disappeared a half century ago ? I queried. Surely, this was a maniacg his claim was preposterous! The same, sir! He took a wallet from his pocket. These papers prove it beyond all manner of doubt. Listen to my story: Some, in fact many, years ago I shot a man-it matters not why-and, to protect my life, I had to Hee. I took this means of defeating what you call Society, with its Law and Order. God forbid! Here, alone, bereft of the companionship of my fellows, I have forced a meagre existence for a period of nearly fifty years. The narrator paused in his taleg he looked at me, and then con- tinued: Sir, you are the only living man who knows of my existence. You are, I repeat, sir, the only person with whom I have talked since my exile, think of it, sir !-nearly sixty years!'l' The villagers think I am the Ghostg I do not wish them to know different. Do not fail me! ak 214 Ulf With a new joy in life I left the solitary figureg what a sorry fate was his! I waved a fond farewell, the rusty old portcullis clanged behind meg Castle Zell had kept its secret. -Herbert Judson Young, 7. 'Since my experience with the Ghost of Castle Zell several parties have explored the old structure. However, none of these has ever discovered that confounding labyrinth which nearly proved my undoing. TThis was in 1873g he hadbeen there since 1821.

I asked myself as I wearily leaned my aching head against a forlorn, battered old wooden post f,,M.- E1 which stood on the weather-beaten and deserted dock. I I had been Working hard that day just as I had been doing I-if for the past two years. But how far could hard work get a boy of seventeen who was the sole support of a poverty- stricken mother and two younger sisters? I had never really had a chance in the world, I told myself. It was dusk. I regarded the scenes about me with disdain. The old warehouses appeared as sulking, huddled masses of brick and wood. The dock was rubbish-strewn. The whole world seemed sullen and dull. My weary gaze shifted lazily sea-ward. I Watched a few sailing vessels as they made their way toward the harbor. Slowly, under my dreamy stare, their forms seemed to change. Now they were gorgeous Spanish galleons bringing home rich treasure from far-off places. My ship was coming in. No more would I be forced to slave in a dingy office in order to make possible' a bare existence for myself and for my family. How wonderful it would be! Suddenly my dream of good fortune was interrupted by a slight pressure on my shoulder. Upon turning around I found myself facing a well-dressed, prosperous looking gentleman of middle age. The stranger smiled at me amiably and said in a most agreeable tone, Don't remem- ber me, do you, Sonny? I murmured something to the effect that I didn't and he continued, I do not wonder at that for it has been a long time since we last met. I am your father's cousin Edward. For several years I have traveled in foreign countries and finally I have returned home, a successful, prosperous man. Now I feel it my duty to share with those who have been good to me. No longer will you be forced to work. You shall have a new home and all of the comforts for which you have always longed. I gasped in astonishment as he ended his amazing recital. What good fortune! It really was true. My ship had come in. I looked up trying to think of some manner in which to express my gratitude. What was it that gave me that feeling of insecurity? The expression on my companion's face had changed. He became very impersonal and, I thought, rather uninterested. He was going to leave. Thanks for helping me rehearse my part for this evening's per- formance at the theatre, he said congenially, as he strolled away into the fast deepening twilight. -Marjorie Day, 7. 5 ... 4. -1- - if 1.1. -' 5' W- -1 A-,-If 5-- - Y , .-- .7 f -?551' 4 'A When Understanding Dawned ,fmt ANE WEIR possessed a sufhciently large income. Now that she was the only surviving member of her family, she felt that she was entitled to live as she pleased. She had ,... .4 always fitted her tastes to those of her family, and it was not until recently that she had been able to express her personality in her home. Although her apartment was not large, it was furnished just as she wanted it to be. She was appreciative of the arts, painting, sculpture, and music, but her one love was for books. On this particular day she was sitting in a big chintz-covered chair beside a log fire in her library. All around her were shelves containing her favorite books. A small volume lay open on her lap. Her eyes had rested on a line which read, Poetry must be lived before it can be either written or properly understood. One thought after another passed through her mind, as she sat in the solitude of her apartment. jane's eyes took on a glow that made her look lovely. So-that is why I have begun to appreciate poetry lately. That is why I am secretly trying to express myself in verse, she admitted. She was struck by a sudden wave of homesickness. Trying to overcome this she turned the radio on, deciding she wanted to hear music rather than read literature. An orchestra was playing a program for the patrons of a fashionable hotel. Barcarolle, from Tales of Hoffman, jane murmured. Oh, why is every thing possessed to make me suffer this afternoon? That is one bit of music that hurts me. Yet she did not stir, but sat with her head in her arm on the big chair. After the last strains of music had died away the clear voice of the announcer brought jane back to earth. She arose and walked toward the telephone. For a long moment she sat with her hand on the receiver, as if summoning courage to lift it. At last she called a number that she seemed to know well. Her hand was coldg her lips trembled close to the mouthpiece. She waited, but there was no answer, and finally she hung up the receiver. Oh well, just my hard luck that he is out, she said. A sound startled her. The knocker on her door was being gently tapped. She opened the door. There stood Dan Mitchell, with a folder of manuscripts. Howdy jane, exclaimed Dan, grasping her hand. What'cha doing, anything special? Have you got company? No, I'm here alone. Come on in by the fire. You look cold. 'Tm nearly frozen.

Dan, who was sitting sailor fashion before the fire, looked up sud- denly at Jane and then started undoing his papers. No, I'll show you. I have been writing poetry. Can you imagine it? Poetry! you too? exclaimed jane. Why, have you been writing poetry? asked Dan. Trying to. Let me see yours? They exchanged papers and all was quiet for a period. Then Dan Went over to jane and sat on the arm of her chair. Jane, haven't we waited long enough? asked Dan in a low voice as his strong arms embraced her shoulders. Jane looked into Dan's eyes and sighed. 'Tis true, that 'Poetry must be lived before it can be either written or properly understood'. -Louise Thomas, 5. An Expensive Plot L UTANKHAMEN was deadg yes, very dead, if one could QQ. pf' judge by the period of years which had elapsed since his death. Yet, jim swore that there could be nothing more dead than the atmosphere in which he was working. It seemed that nothing was happening-that nothing had ever happened about which to write a theme, and yet that theme must be written by tomorrow. Jim had thought of Various plots about the farmer boy coming to the city and steadily rising in rank until he marries his employer's daughter, and others of similar originality. Was nothing new happening in this worldg nothing about which to write a story? And then, as if in answer to his mental question, the sound of a stealthy opening and closing of a door came to him from downstairs. Immediately the thought of something to Write about left him. He thought he had heard that door opened and closed, yet was he sure? Many times before jim had been tricked by his imagination. But this might be the one time when his ears did not deceive him. He could not rest until he reassured himself. He decided to take off his shoes to be as quiet as possible. But being too hurried to stop to perform this operation in the proper Way, he attempted it by balancing on one foot. This produced the obvious effect-a heavy thud that jim thought would frighten any intruder, however bold. He listened tensely, but no sound of a retreating burglar reached his ears. Feeling more at ease, Jim stealthily and cautiously began his descent. Darn these creaky steps. If he doesn't hear me he's deaf or he's 1. is ,.

I'd hate to be grabbed in the dark. These thoughts flashed through our hero's mind in a moment. For here he was in the kitchen. What to do next? What weapon to use? The ice-pick! What a bright idea-sort of convertible dagger and billy. This weapon procured, he peeped into the living room. To say that he was frightened would be mildly describing the situation. There, in the dim light of the street lamp with his back towards Jim, stood a man indistinctly revealedg only his old slouch hat, slightly tilted, was clearly visible. He looked a formidable opponent, standing there, at least six feet tall. jim almost left the scene of action then and there. But mustering courage, he crept stealthily nearer the man. Desperately he dealt the burglar such a blow on the head that the ice-pick handle was splintered. The burglar stood unmoved. Thoroughly enraged, jim gave the gentleman such a kick that the latter fell over on an antique vase and the table lamp. The pain in his foot told jim the storyg he knew the burglar now. He recognized the old hat-rack. Then the thought of the door occurred to him. Had he after all mistaken the sound of the opening of the door again? He turned around, switched on the lights, and saw his brother watching him in silence, with a broad grin on his face. Do you know what I ought to do to you? jim bellowed threaten- ingly, grasping the culprit's shoulder. Then suddenly, as a thought occurred to him, No, by gosh, why, you've given me something to write about! -William Bryan, 7.

He was al- most broke, and with the additional expense of a ring the 4, ' happy couple would probably be unable to take their honey- moon. Then he looked at his heart's desire-big, black, and bothersome. A sweet smile lay on her broad lips. Her supreme moment had arrived although it had taken thirty-eight years. She was delighted. Steve Warren Wasn't. He didn't feel in the matrimonial humor at all. Still he had paid three dollars for the marriage license-and three dollars were three dollars. Look heah, honey, he pleaded, couldn't we use that ring yo' mammy inherited yo'? Ah hasn't much money at presence so, if ah blowed it on yo' ring we couldn't go no place fo' ouh honeymoon. 64 ., - Y-I -1-T -- ef. - -if v--.-,-V .- 1- .Y A 11,1 Salipatica's mouth dropped.

Mr. Warren saw three one dollar bills take wing and Hy beyond his grasp. Oh please, Sugar baby, cried he, ah sho' will bring you one when we gits married and ah stahts wuking. Right now, wif getting us located ah ain't got de funds. Miss Foreman arrested her course but kept her back turned to the speaker. Either ah gits a ring or ah doesn't marry, she stated em- phatically. Enraged, the gentleman replied. Ah ain't craving to marry yo' much mahself. Now ah won't and right befor yo' eyes ah'll tear up the license if yo' gib it to me. Salipatica Foreman did not yield up the document, not she. Here she was well on to getting married, the fulfillment of her life's ambition. To be thrown aside for a ring-she reconsidered. Shucks, Steve honey, this in quite a changed tone, what ah care for a ring? We sho' can use mah inherited ring and be jest as married. But we ain't, interrupted Mr. Warren, us all parts ouh ways heah. An' ah suah hopes that it takes yo 'another thirty-eight years to git yo' another sucker. With that he turned away. Salipatica's high strung nerves gave way and she sank into a heap on the porch. Steve walked along the street with a very light heart. He felt as one who had just escaped the gallows. He ate a hasty supper at Gal- veston's one and only colored sandwich shop and proceeded to his club. He was the first one there, but he sat down and told his escape to the dog. l Ah sho' is fortunate ain't ah, son? he inquired. jack Dempsey bow-wowed his answer, and Steve chuckled to himself and fell asleep. A few hours later several more of the Benevolent Baptist Brethren came in. At the first rattle of the dice Steve awoke and a crap game started. Twos and threes haunted him on all his first shots. Sevens always fell to take the dice and money away. The honeymoon money de- creased rapidly. Jes' one little fo', he prayed to his goddess, but Lady Luck failed him. Dere's dat seben, said one of the opponents. Steve gave up the dice and bet his last quarter. A merry laugh was heard by the door. A dark slip of a girl entered.

So deeply absorbed in his problem was Steve that he didn't notice when he cut his best patron and was not given the usual ten cent tip. Two of the barbers were unusually quiet. Still no idea came to either of them by closing time. They parted for the night. Let me know if anything comes upf' said Steve. Ah'll tryf' his companion assured him doubtfully. About live-thirty the next morning Washington Mately arose, dressed, and left his living quarters. He arrived at Steve's at five forty- five, and unfolded his plan. Dis fella Lawyer Robert Lee am suah hard up, an' fo' five dollars he would do dis fo' yo'. Uh huh, answered Mr. Warren sleepily for he had slept soundly in spite of his great worry, but where is ah to git the five dollahs? What dat yo' mumbles? cried Washington, where am yo' to git it? Colored man, if ah had one hundred and sixty-five dollahs, ah Wouldn'-t be worrin'. Steve sighed. Dat one sixty-five am ancient history. Ah done lost it last noght at the club, he said. Washington stared at him in amazement. T Yo' see, Steve continued, ah thought an idea would jest come to me maybe and ah could win mo dough. 'Stead of that ah lost all ah had-and say, could you loan me dat five? The Eve dollars were loaned and the lawyer was secured. That night the three met in a private room at the club. The door was made secure and the securing of the license was discussed. Mr. Mately was talking, Now yo' see, he said, we, Mr. Lee and me, we goes to Salipatica and asks fo' de license. We tell her dat Mr. Lee am taking a course in matrimonial affairs. He wants to study de license and de circumstances ob de case. We offers to gib her one dollah fo' de license. Dat will make six dollahs, Mr. Warren. Is yo' on?', Steve pondered over the situation. Visions of sweet Mamie rose before him. At length he rose and shook hands with Lawyer Lee, and Washington. Ah'm on, said he, go to it. Washington and Lawyer Lee set out. That night Steve slept on the coveted license which his faithful friend Mately had gotten for him. Next morning he brought it to the marriage license bureau. Trembling he awaited his turn.

Steve thought a moment. The six dollars were just borrowed. This three would have to be spot cash. Nope, he said presently, ther ain't three dollahs wuth of differ- ence between them two gals, and left the office. -jacquelyn Forcheimer, 8. No Dogs Allowed T T IS an alley, not the filthy sort, but the kind that is found Wigs- I' to the rear of the homes of the rich. The fences are even, and garbage cans have lids. All the usual odors are miss- h ingg even the flies are absent. Addresses are neatly painted on the gates, for in that neighborhood only visitors come to the front entrance. It is here that a small boy and a great St. Bernard dog are seen to pass every evening at sunset. The boy pauses at a gate and listens, then silently goes through the yard to the front, diagonally across the street to the right, and disappears. This happens regularly every evening. On this certain sultry day in August he listens a little longer than usual. While he listens, let one study him. One sees a small dirty boy, about nine years old, but in reality he is thirteen. His hair is a brilliant red and inclined to curl. He holds a dog by a leash with one hand and pats him with the other. His character-but who knows the character of a strange lad- There is someone in the yard, for the boy can hear faint sounds, but he opens the gate as usual and walks in. Ah-someone is standing in his path, a voice speaks. You little brat! you-you beggar! Don't you know that this is private ground and not for waifs and loafers to use? Can't you see the sign on the gate? Can't you understand when a sign says 'No Dogs Allowed' it means it? Look up here, I say! A rough hand is thrust under his chin and his head forced back. Look up! D'you hear? You-you- the words stuck. The eyes that are raised to his are sightless! Oh, the horror and the pity of it. A sin unforgivable. Then it comes-the thing the big doctor of the Free Hospital said would come. A spell of coughing that racks the frail body. Blood-a hemorrhage. The boy would have fallen but for the strong arm of the man. It is over. The body lies still, limp, and inert. Q at 45-6 i 68 The big doctor from the Free Hospital comes and demands an ex- planation. In the quietude of the dusk the stillness is broken by the low sobs of a woman and the harsh voice of a man telling of his sin: of how he met his wife when he was poorg their carefree lifeg their child. Ah- now his voice falters. He loved him then. But oh, how he hated him when it was discovered that the boy would never see. How he cursed him. The dull voice continues, a voice that can never be free from sin and pain. I did the deed. I stole away from work at noon and left the child on the steps of an orphanage. I told my wife the baby was kidnapped. She always mourned for him. We were poor then, but some land left me by my father was discovered to be rich in oil, and here I am, rich in money, but my son-the voice falters, and his eyes travel to the couch Where the boy lies dead. Every Sunday a man and woman are seen laying flowers on a small grave. A great St. Bernard dog is seen also. The dog is sad and mourns for the boy-the boy whom the faithful dog had led everywhere, the boy with weary body, lagging steps, and sightless eyes. His story-but who knows the story of a strange lad- -Minnie Romansky, 6. A Chip OH' the Old Block LFRED PETERSEN, where, in heaven's name, did you get 'S that sweater? inquired that young man's mother. She had p almost accustomed herself to weird costumes, but this was too much. ' Aw mom, it's all right. I think it's pretty. The pattern of the sweater in question was alternating hexagons of flagrant purple and gold. Young man, the Salvation Army is coming tomorrow and I shall certainly give that thing to them. Alfie, as his friends called him, knew that tone of finality. Well, can't I wear it today? he asked plaintively. You may, but remember tomorrow! Alfie was not going to give that beautiful new sweater to the Salvation Army. He had a plan. Therefore, that night, about twelve o'clock, he crept down the front stairs with the sweater under his arm. He would hide it! Squeak, squeak! Those stairs! Alfie was sure he would be heard. He was right. Oh, Oh! Papa! yelled his sister. What's the matter? growled the gentleman addressed. A burglar's trying to 'burgle' us, I know! l 69 ... f' Yes, I heard something, too, said Mrs. Petersen calmly, though sleepily. She was always very calm. You'd better go down. At this, Alfie decided it was time to move. He was sure he would lose his beautiful sweater if he were caught. A bright thought struck him. He would go up the back stairs. Grasping the precious garment carefully, he took two or three steps. The Hoor creaked dreadfully. Ominous foot-falls sounded on the stairs. Alfie lost all caution and made a wild dash for the back steps. He stumbled, fell! At last, the stairs! Alfie had meant to go to his own bedroom, but his father was too close, so he careened down the front steps again. At the bottom his legs became entangled in the sweater, and he tripped. Rising, he turned just in time to catch Mr. Petersen, who had also fallen. There was a short impressive silence. Then, March into the living room and don't say a word! At the same time, Alfie felt a revolver poked into his ribs. Once there, the father turned on the lights and confronted-his son. Alfred! Yes sir! very meekly. Have I been chasing you? Yes sirf' still more meekly. Explain yourself! So Alfie did, expecting to be shown the door at least. To his intense astonishment, at the end of his story, his father simply roared with laughter. At last he choked out, I did the same thing myself when I was young. You certainly deserve to keep that sweater after all the trouble you've gone through for it, and I shall tell your mother so. -Betty Reel, 5. N ot S o Big W, SHOOT, he mumbled disgustedly. What on earth could a fellow do when his mother came to school and kissed him in front of all his pals? . ffif Jimmy was walking home from school, kicking furiously I at every stick, stone, or can that came within reach of his little stubby-toed boot. He was pondering deeply, and his face was serious. He was a lovable little fellow, not yet eight years old, with a shock of curly yellow hair and a dimple in one cheek that just would play hide and seek with you when he smiled. When he had started to school his First care had been to have his unruly mop of hair cropped close. The dimple, which was ridiculed by the boys and envied by the girls, was a constant source of annoyance to him, and he took 0 pains to conceal it. This, however, he was never wholly successful in doing. He had been obliged to lick a boy after school because the boy persisted in calling jimmy a mama's boy. jimmy had been taught not to fight, but as the honor of a gentleman must be upheld he had to whip that boy to prove that he was not a mama's boy. His dimple was ironed out flat when he reached home. He was highly indignant, and though he greeted his mother courteously, he did not kiss her. Some oatmeal cookies and a glass of milk were waiting for him on the kitchen table. jimmy was very fond of both, and his dimple began to come into existence again, as he ate the cookies. That evening jimmy tackled his father while his mother was wash- ing dishes. Dad, he began, I've just got to talk to you, man to man. Yes, agreed his father, stifling a smile. Well, here goes. Mother came to school today, and when the teacher called me up to her, mother put her arm around me. That was bad enough, but she kissed me, honest she did, in front of everyone, and all the fellows laughed, and after school they called me 'mama's boy,' and tried to kiss me, and I was so ashamed, and-and-that's all,', he ended with a gasp. And you want me to talk to your mother and explain your difh- culty? said his father. Yes, sir, was the answer. Well, all right, I shall. Let's shake on it, cried Jimmy. Having shaken hands, he went to bed happy. Jimmy was very fond of baseball and often played with boys of a higher grade during his lunch hour. The next day Jimmy played ball and, being an active little fellow, he was everywhere and anywhere, trying to field the ball. Here was a high one! Heck, he cried as the ball fell some three feet in front of him and rolled out into the street. Swift as a Hash he darted after it. Time was precious. There were only a few more minutes before the bell, and he wanted another turn at bat. As he stooped to pick up the ball he heard a warning yell and a honkg he felt a sickening pain and then oblivion! When he awakened, he Was aware of a knife-like pain in his head. He looked around, and everything he saw was white. His mother's face, bending over him, was scarcely less white than the white sheet of his narrow white bed. Aw, gee, mom, he groaned. It was so nice to see her bending over him, tears in her eyes, and to feel her hand holding his own. You sure are a good sport, he said. and fell asleep with his head pillowed on his mother's hand and his dimple peeping out at her. -Glaneuse Kraleman, 5. TI if-xc ,id . - F. aa-: at . ,fa A if-fafgl e ff A Y 7 ' 77 The Black Ballot T WAS the descending hour of a day in autumn, one of fly' those days that is a bleak, tomb-like expanse, created seem- ingly to accentuate the dying beauty of the year. . The T ' - young Bolivian, whose years of confinement had dece1v1ngly .- ,. ' W altered his appearance from that of a youth to that of a man far more advanced in years and in the ways of life, paced forward and back in the cell, where, for ten long years, he had done precisely the same thing. He was now alone, separated from his brother and companions in crime, awaiting either the hour of pardon, or the hour of death, grim death at the hands of the firing squad. Yet, why should he die? Were not the others more guilty than he? The events of the day came rushing back to him. The four were in the Palace of justice, hearing the oft-repeated facts of the case, and the sharp accusations which had been brought against them. Anarchy, why did it exist? Alfredo's head was in a turmoil. Ten years ago, Nestos Villegas, Simon Chaque, juan and Alfredo Juaregui had been arrested and convicted of the murder of their presi- dent. The first three men were all over forty. Alfredo alone was young, yet he had spent ten of his twenty-six years in the prison at La Paz, after becoming implicated in the murder of jose Manuel Pando. But how were the people to know of the innocence of Alfredo if he should not betray Juan and his friends, who had, in a frenzied state of mind, in order to obtain a distorted sense of liberty, assassinated Pando? The four had been convicted, but Bolivian law requires and allows only a life for a life, however brutal the crime may have been and regardless of the number implicated. Therefore, one of these alone was to die. The prisoners were in the courtroom, breathlessly awaiting the ver- dict. Which one should die? During their repeated statements of inno- cence their pallid faces remained staunch. The courtroom and even the corridors were crowded with morbidly curious and eager people, thronging to see the prisoners and hear the verdict. Outside, the populace had become unruly, and only with diiii- culty had the police retained order. juan, having studied law in the prison, that he might act as counsel for the defense, rose and addressed the impetuous crowd and the magistrate, declaring that he and his fellow prisoners were innocent of the crime. The seething populace was im- pressed, eyes and ears were strained to catch every look or word of importance. Then everything was hushed as the magistrate cleared his throat as a preparationg demanded silence, and rose to speak. Alfredo and his com- 72 anions seemed stoically indifferent to their fate in contrast to the ten- P sity and excitement of the spectators. Because, he said, each of you four seems to be equally implicated in this crime, it is necessary that We resort to lottery to determine which of you shall pay the supreme penalty. A new appeal to a higher court, he pointed out, will be highly improper. It is my suggestion that we proceed quickly with the drawing. All was silent as the magistrate announced the order in which the four men should draw their lots from the urn, which contained three blank ballots and the deadly black one. Juan Jauregui's hand shook as he drew the first ballot. A sob of relief fell from his lips as the white slip fluttered to the floor. Bravely then did Villegas draw the second, also blank. The crowd became im- patientg someone hooted at the anarchists from the rear of the room, and all eyes were upon Chaque as he drew the third. Again, it was a blank! There in the urn remained the one which condemned its holder to death! If Alfredo's hand trembled as he reached into the urn and pulled out the fatal black ballot, no one knew. He bravely laughed and begged permis- sion to speak. Eventhe angry mob was touched by the courage of this boy. Though innocent as you, tomorrow morning I shall face the firing squad. I do not ask to be pardoned. Kill me! Let my blood stain the justice of this public which has protested the murder of Gen. Pando. I beg of you, make haste. So saying, the condemned took his seat beside his brother, his pale face, now more than ever, covered with a ghastly pallor. Before the brothers had separated, juan had endeavored to cheer the ill-fated youth. But why is it my luck, my fate? mused Alfredo. I am innocent, yet I shall die. You three are guilty, yet you have your lives. But it is great to die for libertyg is it not? asked juan. Yes, ironically, yes, for a crime I had nothing to do With. How glorious! Alfredo! don't, my boy! There may be a pardon. A pardon-impossible. Did I not say I should refrain from seeking that, at your command ? For appearance's sake, you did that, boy. Everything possible is being done to absolve you from this crime. Then I should have hope ? Yes, be brave. Alfredo had then been taken into the death cell, Wondering and Wait- ing,-Waiting and wondering. Would the pardon be granted? Darkness soon covered the city of La Paz. Peering through his small iron-barred window, Alfredo saw the occasional lights dotting the H 73 4.42.5-s,5 otherwise impenetrable blackness. Faintly could he discern the lights of the Presidential Palace, and he wondered what was going on inside its walls. . Late that night Alfredo was waiting still, a faint gleam of half-smoth- ered hope yet glowing in his heart. The drowsy jailer called into his cell, A visitor for you. The spark of hope within his soul, ignited, grew, burst into joyful flame! Perhaps the pardon was granted! Perhaps he was free! In walked a priest to administer the last rites. The Hame cf hope was quickly and cruelly extinguished, and the boy sank to a lifeless heap on the barren floor. It was dawn, the same dawn which poets have, since the world began, endeavored to portray in their flowery language. But to Alfredo, brave but wan, it meant only death, his fate. All was readyg tlze soldiers were waiting. A hasty good-bye was bidden the brother and companions of the boy-quite formal even a casual observer would have remarked, and the innocent boy went smiling to his doom. -Edna May Finley, 5. A Hot Day in School T VVAS a hot and dusty day in june. The sun shone from Qi a cloudless blue sky, the flowers droopedg and the little stream, which was usually so noisy, seemed to have lost its f Q V voice. Out in the Fields the hay-making was going on, and .5 ' the steady clack, clack, of the mower was the only sound that disturbed the stillness of the air. The boys of Pepperie I-Iall did not seem to like a hct day. Some were bending over their books with a look of hopeless despair in their facesg others were staring at the windows in a vacant way, and all were engaged in the enjoyable pastime of making their eyes water by the simple act of opening their mouths very wide, while a curious sound, halfway between a groan and a sigh, seemed to proceed from the region of their stomachs. But there was a certain young gentleman, named Tommy Tortiur, who kept aloof from the above spirit-stirring game, which was by far too innocent for him. This young gentleman was the happy owner of a curious piece of furniture, dubbed a desk, carved all over with remarkable figures, and the envy of the entire school. On the first day he came he showed his respect for the fine arts by producing a whole circus, with all modern appointments to boot. For this example of the ingenuity of the human mind he received the warmest praise a master could give him, and was actually invited into his study to receive a very quiet blessing-a bless- 74 ing so extremely touching that he came out at the end of fifteen minutes sobbing violently. He was afterwards heard to explain that his feelings were too much for him, as most likely they were. But all the thrashings in the world had no effect on this extraordi- nary youth, for the next day, a little before dinner time, another strange object with an unknown name generally made its appearance, greatly to the delight of the youngsters sitting next to him, who regarded it as a marvel of nature. Tommy was intently regarding the thousand and one creatures his busy brain and still more busy hands had produced, when an idea struck him with such force as to cause him to fairly jerk his ponderous knife from his pocket. Then, with a cautious look on his face, he began to arrange a pile of books before him-partly to give him a busy air, and partly to screen his future actions from view. Everything in order, he opened his knife and was soon engaged on a dreadful likeness of the master. He evidently knew his risk, for from time to time he would make stupendous efforts to look over his eyebrows to make himself acquainted with what was going on in front, and often made hideous grimaces in his zeal of looking out of the corners of his eyesg and all this torture was undergone for the mere purpose of finding out the master's whereabouts without moving about. But while he was engaged in the ghastly operation of engraving the eyes of a human being in an extreme state of distortion, he forgot these safeguards, and so did not become aware that the terrible Mr. Firery, the master, was watching the progress of his carving, till he was sud- denly raised out of his seat by the nape of his neck, and confronted by his injured preceptor. Mr. Firery kept a sweet little thing hanging on the wall behind his desk, and it was generally known among those who made its acquaint- ance by the short but expressive name of Fee1er. The power that Feeler had of ferreting out the weakest parts of a boy's anatomy was truly marvelous, as Tommy knew to his cost. Accordingly Feeler was brought and eminently distinguished itself by the very sensitive way in which it performed the ferreting partg but we will not harrow the reader's heart with a description of the performance. All we will say is, that Tommy's feelings had so severe a Fight with him that he was again overcome, and forced to hide them in his handkerchief. But Fee1er's sensibility had not much effect on him, for he soon wiped up all his feelings, and put them in his pocket. Finding all quiet, the hardened young rascal caught up an ink-bottle, and, to show his utmost contempt for all that Feeler or Firery could do or say, he bal- anced it on the tip of his nose. At that instant a slate fell with a crash, and the ink-bottle also fell, without a crash, it is true, but with a start- ling effect on Tommy's Visage. It was hard telling which bore the 77' darker countenance, Tommy orethe master. When Tommy came back from the lavatory, his face still bore a suspiciously blue appearance that strongly inclined one to think that he had been recently shaved. This fresh scrape kept Tommy quiet for a whileg but after dinner, the unlucky boy got into another. In taking his handkerchief from his pocket, he drew out a small package of gunpowder. This fell to the floor, and five seconds later a catastrophe occurred. The room was veiled in smoke. Mr. Firery was standing at the far end of the room at the timeg but when he heard the noise, he jumped over two desks and tripped over a third, in his zeal to fathom the mystery. He was stopped by a fallen bench suddenly arising and knocking out the sounder of the only two real teeth he had, to- gether with a set he certainly had acquired in no other way than by buying. Meanwhile Tommy, curled up amid the wreckage, was Won- dering whether life was really as beautiful and full of joy as- some people would have you think. After the master had bewailed his injuries and staunched the flow of blood from his missing ivory, he began a strict investigation into the cause of his misfortune. But as yet he could gain but little from Tommy. When he had sufficiently recovered to answer in rather a jerky style, the following conversation took place: What did you rnean by this row, eh ? queried Mr. Firery. Pleaz I didnit mea n it really but Here he was stopped by the master taking him by the collar, and creating a pleasant sound, truly, on each ear. Taking him by the ear, the master led him to his seat, where he found unmistakable traces of the primeval cause of the mishap. The remorseless Feeler', again came on the scene, and it was laid on with hearty good will. This fresh misfortune quite subdued the unhappy Tommy. Resting his chin in his hands, he gazed absently out the window for a long period of time, at the end of which he began to mutter dire and sundry threats against Feeler and Mr. Firery. Two days later Feeler was not to be found, but a closer search revealed its charred remains in the bottom of the ash pan. Three days after this the master came to school wearing a new swallow-tail coat. A few hours later he departed, a deeply humiliated man-Without the least vestige of a swallow-tail or any other tail about him. While examining the drawing class, some mischievous urchin, whose clothing reeked of gunpowder, fastened each of the master's coat tails to the seat Without being discovered. Soon after, while attempting to rise, the ill starred tails refused to follow the master's impulse and remained seated. Thus ends the saga of sweet revenge. -Bert Beal, 6. 73 HZAJQQ Qavid C79z7Pezj7eZd'Wa12d 075 f7V6Dz'f56z? 4.

And when from eyes of man the god has fled To those untrodden spheres beyond the world Where their great lord lives on eternally, The virgins pass the day in silent dread, But When again the flag of night's unfurled, Await their god in quivering ecstasy. -Marian Zonnis, 7 78 2'-S YYWT LAIT i 'T' 'T 5 -'-lg,-fx ' The Bowl Ss,g ED with the tint of clay Tinctured with gold, Gold with the glint of day- Loveliest mold- 5.0 -Af, - Squat as an Indian squaw In blankets dressed, Calm as a patient ox Nerveless and blessed, Bright as a May day morn Studied with joy, Fragrance is wafted from it Free from alloy.

Soldan has the best high school ama- . teur orchestra of its kind in the city and one of the best in ' -- l the state. The orchestra has played on many distinguished occa- sions. Besides playingswhenever asked to at school, last year the orches- tra played in the public high school concert held at the City Club. Inci- dentally, it was the only orchestra asked to play. It was an important part in the consolidated high school orchestra which performed at Beau- mont High School in the big public concert. The Imperial Violin Quartette also played at this concert and scored much applause. At the Missouri Teachers' Convention held at Hotel Statler, the orchestra was chosen from all the other school orchestras to play for the teachers. Miss Finn, the very capable sponsor, has worked untiringly for the Welfare of the orchestra, and it is through her efforts that the orchestra has attained so high a position in its field. The Imperial Violin Quartette, which in 1926 won the champion- ship of Missouri, are all members of the orchestra. They are the first violinists: Joseph Caraiiol, Joseph Gidansky, David Maslanikov, and David Kaplun. The quartette is accompanied by Herman Landau, and the orches- tra by Clare Engel.

This fact has been proved by its steady increase in membership from term to term. At all football games and track meets the band has been present to put iight into the team and pep into the students. ' Besides serving the school in this way, the band affords an opportunity for students who possess undeveloped talent to learn to play a band instrument. Many boys who are now very talented players owe their success to Mr. Olson and the band. Under the able leadership of Merle Shepard and Marvin Fehlings the organization looks forward to steady improvement and to greater service to the school.

When the terrible tornado visited our city a short time ago, we gave from our treasury to the Red Cross instead of spending it on our annual party. We also assisted in the benefit entertainment given by our school. Recording Angel: Very good, my child, anything in the civic line? Chaminade: , We have done all possible to promote the love of the Symphony and to show, by our subscription and our presence, our appreciation of the highest and best in music. We sang at the Christian Church on November 18 at the State Sunday School Convention. Some of our members contributed their services in the State of Missouri Public School Convention. Under the patient and enthusiastic supervision of Miss Finn, our club of more than fiifty girls Qwith a waiting list of fortyj is working on some beautiful songs and is looking forward to assisting the 'Crippled Children' and 'Children's Aid Society' by our Christmas caroling, an annual and joyous event.

John Hall. . E During the past term the club has been prominently 'fii featured in a number of school entertainments and outside activities. Its impromptu performance at the Red Cross Benefit Concert showed the artistic result of hard work. Later in the season the club led the entire school in singing at the presentation of the Cornell Cup. At the Missouri State Teachers' Convention the club gave its most notable performance and received much praise from visiting as well as local teachers. Critics praised the fine style and expression which the club displayed at the concert. The Glee Club was further honored by being asked to sing in the difficult eight-part chorus For He Shall Give His Angels Charge Over Thee from the oratorio Elijah given on November 29 and 30 at the Coliseum. Besides concert work, the club sponsored a successful social event It held, as in previous years, an enjoyable picnic at Mr. Hall's home, Terrace Lodge, Riverview Gardens, near Chain of Rocks. Although the graduation last summer of some of the club's most prominent members set the club back, competent new members have come in this term, and the club now has the largest membership as well as one of the Finest choruses of its history.

They're just plain girls who want more than an ordinary knowledge of literature. Vel, as I said afore, they might be worser, but no sitch girls'11 ever hold my hart like Mary.

We members of the Reading ll ig' Club have found oral reading to be a great pleasure. At our meetings we have had many interesting programs, as well as a short period each Week for helpful suggestions. This term our chairman, Anna Holtz, planned a program of plays and narrative poems for the club to read. Several of the members very cleverly interpreted some of the characters in the plays. Bertha Tobias, especially, made a very interesting Eppi in a dramatized scene from Eliot's Silas Marnerf' The club as a whole read and enjoyed Oliver Goldsmith's merry comedy, She Stoops to Con- quer. In this play the best interpretation was done by Lillian Levin, Who took the part of Tony Lumpkin. The club did not devote all its time to reading poems and plays, however. Two parties were given. One at Thanksgiving time, and the other at the end of the term.

Miss Adams, our sponsor, has resigned the sponsorship, because of her many other duties. She was an excellent sponsor, and the success of the guild under her leadership cannot be questioned. The members mourn the loss of Miss Adams. But now the curtain is rising on a brighter scene once more. There is a splendid new sponsor, in the person of Miss Lucas, and a group of capable officers.

The 'league holds a business meeting one Thurs- day and a trip to some place of civic or historical interest sf L ...W 3 the next Thursday. Contrary to the popular opinion that the Civic League is composed of and interesting to only the students who are now taking civics, the club's work is both helpful and profitable to students of geog- raphy and history. For instance, during the current term the league has taken two trips to the Art Museum and has had two illustrated lectures, one on Assyrian Art, and the other on the Home Life of the Greeks, both of which would have been very beneficial to a student of either geography or history. Equally interesting programs have been planned for the rest of the term.

Shewell Fitzroy Plans were at once made for extensive study on chemistry topics which were to be presented by members of the club, and plans were also made for interesting trips. The social committee planned a Hal1owe'en party, for which Mr. Weisert offered the use of his farm and a supply of apples. On Satur- day morning, October 29, the club met at school, there were thirty-two members and five cars. Trailing Mr. Weisert, the cars arrived at the farm at ten-thirty. After roaming around a bit to discover the beauties of the country, a treasure hunt was announced. Divided into three groups, the girls and boys went off through the woods, following the signs stuck on trees, shrubs and rocks. After a long pursuit, they were much exasperated to find themselves back at the house again, still hunt- ing. Then cries of joy told of hidden treasures found, and by the time all were found, the wienies were ready to roast. Then followed a feast of wienies and rolls, apples, cakes, roasted marshmallows, and spring water. Another enjoyable but more difficult and very successful event was the holding of a mammoth exposition on the afternoon of November 29. Every member of the club participated in some part of the numerous and varied exhibitions which drew great crowds of inquisitive and eager students of the school to the chemistry rooms. 5, NX .

The new members have not been initi- ated as yet, because of the illness of Miss Parks, the sponsor. The club has instituted competition by dividingthe membership into two teams. The president is captain of one and the vice-president is captain of the other. Mr. Olson has been invaluable to the club.

A .ef gif-xvle.-,ig - 3327-if The Gym Club HE Gym Club, which was organized in 1913 by our present sponsor, Doctor Koenig, is an organization of boys who if wish to secure a more perfect development of the muscular control of their bodies. ff' To accomplish this aim the members are divided into two groups: the first is the exhibition group, and the second group is composed of those who have just entered the club and have not yet learned the rudiments of the work. The exhibition group takes up the more advanced work on the apparatus and acts in an advisory capac- ity toward the second group. The exhibition group shows its work to the school once or twice each term. The Gym Club started this term by participating in the benefit per- formance given by several of the clubs of the school to aid the victims of the tornado. Oliver Birge and .stuart Davis, who have been president and vice- president respectively for the past three terms, were re-elected for a fourth term by a unanimous vote. Barney Cosneck was elected secre- tary-treasurer for the term. C' G. A. A. 'Wg IRLS, if you don't belong to the G. A. A., the peppiest club j at Soldan, you are missing the time of your life. The girls ' K have lots of fun-just lots-while underneath all the fun ' is that sense of keen competition and real sportsmanship that can only be awakened by the freedom that athletics allow. Have you ever been just chucked full of energy and had no way to let it out? If you have, then the one hundred thirty-eight girls of the G. A. A. invite you to join them. If you are in or above the third term, you are eligible for membership. Surely you will want to earn a Soldan S. If you belong to the G. A. A., you receive points for hiking, passing a posture test, volley ball, basketball, tennis, track events, held events, and a perfect gym record. A11 these add up to help make your seven hundred Fifty points for the letter. But there is more fun in store for you! You will enjoy our party, which is given each term in the big gym.

For the Hrst time in the history of the school the members of the team were awarded the Athletic S.

The winner of the school tournament was Harold Meyers, who received a handsome loving cup.

When the club reorganized for the fall there was an influx of new members. For the first time in several years a large number of girls turned out. They organized a tournament, but because of inclement weather the tournament was postponed until next spring. In the major tournament, in which more than thirty boys entered, Harry Baker was the winner and jack Hutson the runner-up. Much of the success of the club is due to Mr. MacQueary, the able sponsor.

Sol- dan won both indoor meets, one of which was held in the Coliseum and the other in the Washington University field house. It won all its dual meets, often by a large majority, except the meet between Soldan's juniors and Webster's juniors, where Soldan lost by about ten points. In the Mississippi Valley meet Soldan was nosed out by the three-point advantage of Webster Groves, which has won this meet for three con- secutive years. The Interscholastic meet, which was held at Francis Field, was Won by Soldan, with Roosevelt coming in second. The re- sults of the midget, junior, and senior divisions of the meet were as follows: First Second Third Midget .......... Soldan, 29 ...... Roosevelt, 20M ....... Central 152, Junior ...... Roosevelt, 44 ...... Soldan, 36 ...,.. Cleveland, 21 ' Senior ............ Soldan, 472 ...... Roosevelt, 34M ...... Central, soy, In the midget division Soldan scored a decisive victory. There were two records broken and one more tied. Hicks broke the midget 75-yard low hurdles recordg the relay team ran the 440 in 52:3 seconds to better the record in that eventg and Merrims tied the 75-yard dash record. Hicks, besides breaking the hurdles record, took two more first places and a third place, getting a total of 17 points. In the junior division Roosevelt had an exceptionally strong track team and piled up a large enough score there to carry off the junior honors, although Soldan took four of the Held events. 121 CHAMPIONSHIP TENNIS TEAM 24. n - 7-if A ,W , . 521,111-1-B -,.,-.5 - 'N' In the senior division the team scored a larger margin of victory than in the midget division, getting 472 points, while Roosevelt, who came in second got 341m points. In this division Soldan placed in every event except one, getting four firsts, five seconds, and many other places, besides breaking the senior 440-dash when johanningmeier ran it in 52:5 seconds. The captains of these divisions were Hicks, midgetg Cook, juniorg and Whiting, senior. With the exception of 1922 Mr. Plag has coached the track team every year since the cup was put in competition. Tennis 4 pf? H. OR the second consecutive year Coach Plag's tennis team has won the tennis championship of the High School League. The results of the interscholastic tennis tournament were as follows: School Won Lost Percentage Soldan 14 2 .895 Beaumont 13 3 .813 Roosevelt 7 9 .437 Cleveland 4 12 .250 Central 2 14 .125 Both of the games in which Soldan's representatives were defeated were lost to Beaumont, who was our very close second. One of these games at least might have been accounted for differently had Joyce Portnoy, our first man and captain, not played with a hand injured a few days previous. Adolph Rovin, the second man, likewise, was defeated only once and that when he played against Kruckenkamp of Beaumont. Gidlowitz, however, by winning all of his four matches became champion third man of the league. Our doubles team, composed of Sigoloff and Sachs, was also league champion in the doubles division. Next year Soldan's team will have to be composed almost entirely of new men, since Portnoy, Rovin, Gidlowitz, and Sigoloff will be lost by graduation, leaving Sachs, alone, as the nucleus of next year's team. oi xr 0 O N ,fx Afff .0 Biff'-elli?if7VQ'm 123 1937 FOOTBALL .', . 1' f Q-7 -Lyii .:.. -L:-5-.QMLQ-k 4-,X .W 3,925-gxr f Football OACH CQOK'S football team, although it did not lose a is i single league game, dropped into second place with Roose- W velt at the head because it won only two games and tied - two while Roosevelt won three and tied only one. The standing of the teams was as follows: Won Lost Tied Percentage Roosevelt 3 0 1 1.000 Soldan 2 0 2 1.000 Central 1 2 1 .333 Beaumont 0 1 3 .000 Cleveland 0 3 1 .000 It will be noted from the above that Cleveland, who secured the championship last year, brought up the rear with Beaumont this year. In the league games Soldan tied the first two, 0-0 and 6-6 with Beaumont and Roosevelt, and won the last two by defeating Central 6-O and Cleveland 19-O. The Saturday preceding the game between Soldan and Beaumont, Soldan defeated University City 25-0, while Beaumont suffered a severe defeat at the hands of Roosevelt. Consequently in the game with Beau- mont Soldan probably had a trace of over-confidence and Beaumont a trace of desperation which resulted in a O-0 score. It was largely a kicking game and not very interesting. The second game, which was with Roosevelt and which resulted in a 6-6 tie, was a complete surprise. In the First quarter, aided by some fumbles on Rocsevelt's part, Soldan succeeded in completing a pass to score its cnly touchdown of the game. Time and again in this game Roosevelt advanced to within Soldan's five-yard line only to be repulsed each time, except in the last quarter a few minutes before the end when Roosevelt after several long gains scored its first and only touchdown. Immediately afterward, Roosevelt began its march again, but was stopped a little over a minute later by the final gun. Since the game had to stop at 3:00 o'clock, the game lacked two or three minutes of the regulation length, and it is quite possible Soldan would have been scored on again in this time. On the other hand if there had been another time out in the game, Soldan would have won 6-0. In the game with Central the close 6-0 score does not show the greater football ability of Soldan, for Soldan was by far the greater ground gainer and had a much longer average kick. Since Central was considered a pretty strong team, Soldan again began to feel satished with itself. Probably as a result of this Soldan in the last game, which was with Cleveland, was held on even terms during the Eirst half. During the second half, however, Soldan found itself again and scored nineteen points. 125 XRS ,J 7' 54927 wg 'rs CX M 0 K I ---,C Q -KK fs,-,..,a-I-. -sytalxw-Ax A ff:-1-IM In the pre-season games Soldan won three games and lost one, defeating McBride 6-0, Western Military Academy 10-0, and University City 25-0, and being defeated by Principia 9-0. In the game with Western Military Academy Dave Cook, the regu- lar quarterback, was injured. Both Joyce and Hardin were used as quarterbacks, but finally after the Beaumont game Schumitsky, last year's all-star end, was switched to quarter and remained in that posi- tion for the rest of the season. Basketball OLDAN'S chances in the coming basketball campaign de- pend largely upon a team composed of new material, since 1 both the inevitable graduation and the age limit of twenty years have eliminated all of last year's letter-men except Edmiston and McIntosh. Around these two players, both of whom made good records last year, the new team must be built. Last year an excellent plan of having an inter-gym class tournament was followed by Mr. White in order to get a good line on all the material the school could produce. In this way he was able to select a team that, although handicapped by lack of a proper basketball Hoor, showed up excellently and tied with Cleveland for second place. Roosevelt took first place. This year the same plan was followed, and several promising players were discovered in the games.

Every season there are some boys at school who might be stars, but who, due to a little lack of studying on their part, are ineligible to compete in any of the interscholastic sports. If these same fans would but raise their grades by a little studying and thereby become eligible, it is possible that they might be the players needed for a successful team. Then, too, Mr. White is always in need of fresh material out of which to form his future teams. Why not have those younger boys who have some baseball sense come out for practice and coaching so that they will be ready to take the places vacated by the senior players? Soldan also suffers from the lack of an adequate practice field. Last spring much time for practice was lost in travelling back and forth from Forest Park. It was necessary to start for the park late and return early because all the dressing had to be done at the school. For next spring the use of the High School Stadium is being sought for a practice field for Soldan. Let's hope it can be secured. Probably the star of last year's team was its pitcher, Edmund Rich- ards, who was also the strikeout king of the league. Richards, however, has passed the age limit of twenty years and will be lost for next sea- son's team. Last year's team was composed of Gordon, catcher, Bennet, first baseg Horwitz, second base: Cosmidys, shortstopg MacIntosh, third base, Oakley, left field, Sacks, center field, and Shacklin, left fieldli The substitutes were Cornbleit, pitcher, Shaperkotter, O'Brien and Spencer, inijieldg ,Wilson and Adelstein, outfield.

He writhed in agony, but this action only served to have him held tighter. The eyes of the cruel Visage beamed down upon this sorry plight and lighted up now and then with a fanatical glare of delight, as this tormentor slowly sharpened his steel weapon.

A room: Miss Smith is seated at a desk, on top of which are Latin books, a dic- tionary, a green-shaded lamp, file, etc. A pile of examination papers is before her. From time to time she frowns and puts a cross on the paper before her. When she has Finished she puts a large red twenty- six on the front of the paper. She picks up a second paper. After correcting it, she grades it thirty-one. She goes through about ten papers, none of which are above forty-seven. She is beginning to nod. She takes up another paper, but before it is finished her head sinks forward and she falls asleep. Scene II. A street in Rome in 66 B. C. Cicero is mounted on the rostra delivering an oration in fluent Latin. A crowd is gathered around him. Cicero: 4'But, moreover, the most illus- trious man, most patriotic, decorated by your most gracious gifts of office, Quintus Catulus, and likewise Quintus Hortensius disagree. CSuddenly the crowd turns. Cicero ceases and turns to look at a middle-aged, tall, stern woman dressed in a dark silk dress, small felt hat, etc. She hurries up to the crowd.D Miss Smith: Quid Accidit? Quid Accidit?

The good-hearted old knight looked with amazement at the towering buildings, and asked a passing hobo when the great change had taken place in the fair city of London. The uncouth fellow laughed roughly and said, I wonder why they shot Lincoln? He was about to leave the bewildered and indignant Sir Roger when he noticed the old gent's old-fashioned, but costly, clothes. Say, those plus fours fit too soon, remarked the tramp. As Sir Roger was about to ask the ruffian what he meant, the latter walked away and, upon meeting a policeman said, Listen, Law, there's a goof down the street what's got an assine layout and I tink he's got pigeons in de crow's nest. Thanks, said the cop, I'll look him upo: Two minutes later Sir Roger was ac- costed by a big fellow who Wore a military uniform with large brass buttons down the front. Thinking he was a soldier, our friend asked about the huge yellow mon- sters which had printing on the side and which growled and grumbled as they went along. 'fWhy, said the Englishman, they must have hypnotic power for I see the victims calmly walk up to it, step into the jaws, and allow themselves to be swallowed. After which I could see the victims through his transparent sides, but they seemed calm and in no agonyf' The old gent did not like the expression on the soldier's face and hastened to inform him that he, Sir Roger De Coverley, was not to be trifled with. Listen, hooey, you just keep quiet, and I'll take you to the Prince of Walesg he's expectin' you. just then the police patrol with a loud squeaking of brakes pulled up to the curb beside Sir Roger. He, thoroughly fright- ened, jumped and started to run, but the cop caught him and held him firmly. After recovering from his first fright, Sir Roger, as human beings will, began to ask questions about the auto. The kind but dumb policeman pushed Sir Roger into the patrol and began to explain how it worked, thinking that the old gent was crazy and that he would have some fun. When they arrived at the asylum Sir Roger was put in a cell. He immediately began to rave, demanding to be released or at least to be told of whom he was the prisoner. Aw! Go sit down and bounce a snow- ball, was all he could get out of the guard. Sir Roger then turned to the man who 137 was sharing his cell and asked, Where am I? 'KYou're in the boobey hatchg where do you suppose? Who are you anyway? I, said the knight, nam Sir Roger De Coverley. The fellow then patted him on the back, laughed loud and long, and then said, That's OK MNXQ theylll take that out of you. I was Paul Revere when I started: later I was President Harding, and now I'm only Harry Sinclair. Very luckily for Sir Roger the superin- tendent ofthe asylum, Mr. M. T. Hed, had read all about him in the Sir R. D. C. Papers. The superintendent then turned Sir Roger over to M. Beau Leggat, who ex- plained to Sir Roger that the times had changed, that many wonderful devices had been invented, and that the style of dress was different. The Queen of Roumania is in St. Louis today, said Mr.Hed, andI am sure she would be glad to have you accompany her on her tour through the city. UCome, put on a suit of my clothes. You can't meet the Queen dressed like that, said Mr. Leggat. I shall have you know, Sir, that this coat has gone in and out twelve times. But you must look nice to meet the Queen as she is very beautiful. Is she a widow? No, she is not. CHAPTER TWO Your Majesty, this is the famous Sir Roger De Coverley and, Sir Roger, this is Princess Ileana, and that is Prince Nicholas. Sir Roger patted each on his head and said that they were line children and that he hoped they minded their books. For, said he, ye shall win a Bible for yourselves and a Hitch of English bacon for your mother. The queen choked. The mob was cheering and yelling for the queen, and Sir Roger stood up in the car and looked about him with that pleasure which a mind seasoned with humanity naturally feels in itself at the sight of a multitude of people who seemed pleased with one another and are gathered to partake of the same common entertainment. He was immediately hooted and bombarded and forced to retreat to a sitting posture. You know, Marie, a passage in Baker's Chronicle states that- Just then a Soldan student threw a Ufresh roll, previously obtained in the lunch room, which hit the good old knight on the head silencing him forever. -Al Hay, Eng. 4. ma? 9 J-:X I THMIECT 1L1ESsuinm1Sn1N1 mum M nw Jacia alea e-si IG 1 A u '13 L TMHMWwIQi Q7 Il. i W fx vii 44' -49? carpe diemf, Q rmca mxca ., parva siella t' V A 9 43 ? l ce pluribus ununmjg 468-Jgxfff fig: P!?9jf?fFEjEFqE3?

Before the knight could pre- vent, Discourtesy had brought his blud- geon down upon the l'xorse's head and crushed the skull. With berserker fury did the two battle for the space of six hours, and sorely did they hurt each other. Finally, as must ever be the case, Dis- courtesy fell before the superior tactics of the adherent of Curteisye. Sir New Jay heaved a sigh of anguish. Now woe is me, he weptg 'tMy good steed is dead, and night is fast approach- ing. g j'Be of good cheer, my fair Lord, encouraged the old woman. I am grateful to you for coming to my aid and I will supply you with the noblest mount that ever man'did see. Behold! In flashes of greenish fire there sprang from the ground a mighty war horse. This splendid animal is the favorite mount of Lucifer, Prince of Hell, and is called Pony, added the ancient creature with a leer.

Trouthe and Honour were burning fiercely in unison. Realization came to the Soldanite. Avast, fell minion of perdition! You are Deceit! I trust you not! The withered hag went screeching from his presence, while the horse changed into a writhing serpent which slid hissing into the surrounding underbrush. Sir New Jay shouted aloud for joy. What should I do without those magic words to lead me aright? he suddenly asked himself. King John was surely right when he said, 'Obey the law of each, and you will surely triumphl' With a song upon his lips, and fresh courage in his heart, he pushed on through the forest, and did not pause until he had come to its end. There he saw a marvelous palace, composed of bluish pearls and glistening dew drops. A misty veil of Woven star beams enveloped it entirely. From the highest turret floated a solitary silken banner, which bore upon it the one word, Latium. But his admiration at the pretty sight was quickly changed to a loathing at the surroundings. For miles about were the Whitened bones and skulls of daring warriors, who sought to master Latin and failed in the attempt. Night had fallen, and in the rays of the rising moon the scene was one of awful grandeur and terrifying beauty. CContinued on Page 144D 1 43 5972 EASTON AVE.

Cheering and shouting he ran across the clearing up to the castle and beat with furious passion upon the gate. Coward! Villain! Vandal! he thunder- ed. Come out and face one of Soldan's bravest. Why tarry, sluggard? The great door swung silently open upon its hinges. For a moment Sir New Jay repented his bold words, and felt an almost overwhelming desire to run. Then, there came to his delighted ears the sweetest, the loveliest, the softest voice to which he had ever listened. I am Lady Chaminadef' sighed the voice divine. Gallant countryman, slay monster Latin, liberate me, and carry me back to Soldan's halls. If Sir New Jay was bewitched by the melodious tones, even more so was he enchanted by the beauteous maiden which now made her appearance. HO' gentle lady, he fervently ex- claimed, you appeal not to me in vain. I swear, by the word 'Fredom', which appears upon my shield, that either I bear you safely hence, or I perish in my en- deavours! Lady Chaminade smiled gently. Enter, fair knight, and quietly, for Latin sleeps in the feasting hall, which is hard by, and is ever easily awakened. fContinued on Page 145D SOLDANITES, WE ARE YOUR NEIGHBORS AND BOOSTERS Society vm-f PRINTING we-i Commercial Announcements, Programs, Cards, Printed, Engraved or the Plateless Engraving, Graduation Gifts Pens, Loose f Leaf Books, Ofhce Books, Fillers, Inks, Stationery, Rubber Stamps, Pen Service West End Headquarters for Fountain Pens, Artists' Supplies and Typewriters The Modern Press 86 Stationery Co., Inc., 4918 DELMAR BLVD.

In one corner sat a hideous monstrosity, half devil, half man, with enormous horns for ears, and elephant tusks for teeth. A feeling of revulsion and disgust swept over the warrior. For a second he was half tempted to turn back, but the maiden whispered in his ear, 'tFor the honor of Soldan, Hee not, but master the creature. Suddenly, without any apparent cause whatever, the beast opened its bloodshot eyes, gave a terrifying roar, and sprang to its feet. When it saw the knight, it shrieked with unholy mirth. Then, with a peculiar swinging motion, it started down the hall towards Sir New Jay. Lady Chaminade began to sing in a voice clear and brave, March, march on down the Field, fighting for Soldan. The thought of the Alma Mater and the young beauty behind him sent the fighting blood coursing through the warrior's veins. Shouting with the joy of battle Sir New J ay rushed eagerly forward to meet the fiend. Latin halted abruptly, a puzzled look appearing on his face. The Soldanite was almost upon it. Then moaning piteously, it fell upon its knees, and lifted its hands in humble supplica- tion. Sir New Jay stopped in bewilderment.

I am terrible only to those who fear me. To them I am unrelenting, cruelg a beast without mercy. But to those who fear me not, and seek me out with the determination to master me, I am only a slave. You are not afraid of meg you are anxious to try to master meg hence, I am powerless before you.

HO' true and worthy Soldan- ite,', she said, nobly have you upheld your motto, and heroically have you obeyed the commands of your king. May your brave conduct be an example to every loyal soldier of the Gold and Brown. Good sir knight, I am the Soldan Spiritg keep me ever in your heart, and through- out eternity I shall inspire you to do all that is noblest and best. With that the wondrous vision vanished, leaving the knight rejoicing that he could be counted a true son of Soldan. -William Edwards Wooten, 7- SAI T L eKE'S HOSPIT L Delmar Boulevard and Belt Ave., Saint Louis, Mo.

How happy we were in the days when after dinner meant the clash of dishes from the kitchen, the smell of burning hair from sister's room, and fatherls snores from the couch. Now that my mother has become an addict all is changed. Little did we realize what was taking place when she first began to leave the house every afternoon and come home peevish and nervous. Little by little she became a stranger to us, babbling about useless things the little time she was at home. At that time, however, we didn't realize that this stimulant gets more and more of a grip on one, giving no warning that he who becomes a slave to it is a ruined creature for life. And now, my mother is one of these people. The truth must be told. She has become a bridge addict. -Karma Rincleff, 8. Two Stories A sad, sad story, But I suppose it's true- An F always keeps one From getting thru. But a happy, happy story, And I know it's truee- Is an E or a G That carries you thru. -Margaret Kirten, 7. W gllifng QMMIZIIIAL PHOTUGRAPHER 806 CHESTNUT STREET JOE CANDY co.
