And what is more deserving of praise than a school which has trained for twenty years the youth of a city? Nothing influences the course of a school more than its leader. A man bringing to a new school old ideals but fresh courage, a man grow- ing with his school as the years go by, a man building always for the future of his school-such a leader was Mr. Powell. With the strong and willing support of a great faculty, he massed the diversified strength of Soldan and Welded it into a unified thought. When Soldan was organized, Mr. Powell, at that time the principal of Yeatman High School, was made the principal of Soldan. The first few years were difficult, for students, loyal to their old schools, resented being transferred to a new one that had no personality. However, col- ors were soon chosen, a motto was selected, and clubs were formed. Students grew loyal as the slow years of formation passed-Soldan became Soldan! And then, in 1916, Soldan bent all its energies to the giving of a pageant, the Shakespeare Tercentenary. This enterprise, participated in by all the students, knit the school together and made Soldan proud of its spirit of successful cooperation. A year later came the War, and many Soldan boys laid down their lives for their country. It was a sad and yet a thrilling time, girls and boys, faculty and pupils, all Worked together, all sacrificed together. Although it was tragedy, this period will forever remain a significant epoch in Soldan's history. Then grew the Soldan of today with its traditions, its ideals, its enthusiasms: with its many activities in classrooms, in clubs, and in athletics. An orchestra, boys' and girls' glee clubs, a dramatic guild, a band, dancing classes, and gymnastic clubs-these are a few of the varied groups in Soldan. Each of these periods of So1dan's existence and each of these organi- zations was represented in the great pageant of 1929, Memories of Twenty Years. Not only did Soldan strive to show what had been accomplished in these years, but also why it was done, how it was done, and by whom it was done. And, as one looks back almost a year later, the harmony of the whole and its perfect fitness to portray the twenty years of Soldan's activity become more and more apparent.

And you Whose eager hearts have led you here To share the honor of her bounteous praise, To stir the embers of undying fires And warm your lives with tender, glowing zeal, Pour forth the treasures of your memory To swell the volume and intensity Of this, our Alma Mater's history! On waves of ether through the willing air, In silent wave-lengths of uncharted thought, Come crowding messages from far away, Voiceless but eloquent of unseen presences Whose lives bear evidence in worth or force Of thoughts and deeds and silent influence That time has mingled with the panoply Of this, our Alma Mater's history. O Muses, lend your clearest, purest tones To sing great Soldan's praise! And give the sky For sounding-board, the sun for glowing Fire, The stars to crown our Alma Mater's brow! Unroll Time's hallowed scroll, O Fates, and spread To view the glorious past that Soldan owns! The mists of twenty years are cleared away, And lo! the Flaming letters of our Motto show: Trouthe and Honour, Fredom and Curteisye . 14 the Drama UNROLI.

The glow of Health And Wisdom's sweetest charms from Plenty's horn Are poured. And then behold a vaster throng That kneels at Alma Mater's feet, exults In her, and pours out gifts of richest store. O Skies, send back her praise ten-thousand-fold,- And still 'tis not enough! O strain, ye steeds That guide the sun! Out pace your course! Leap o'er The gates of Night, and strive for yonder farthest Star to lay at Soldan's feet! The heart Of brightest blaze beams not more bright than this Rich record of unselfish service given! 15 SYMBOLIC EPISODE The Persons: Saint Louis, the Crusader King, Knights, Squires, Pages, Lords and Ladies, Herald, Education, Central High, McKinley High, Yeatman High, Soldania. SAINT LOUIS: All lands and climes pay tribute now to this My City of the Western World, St. Louis. And I have traveled far from distant lands, From Holy Wars and sojourn in the East, From war-torn Europe of the Middle Age, Across the misty tide of centuries, To Find at last the city of my dreams, In festal celebration, world renowned. Rich plenty reigns, and everywhere abound Material wealth and great prosperity. But these are not the evidence I seek Of this, my city's claim of truest worth. Wealth is not culture, nor is progress aught Except it be in knowledge. Wherefore now I seek to know her progress in the Arts. Is Education now her chief concern? All else I lay aside,--her wealth, her homes: Bring me tidings of my City's schools. EDUCATION: QEnter Educationj ! I am the spirit of the Public School. It is my task to guide and train the young: To give them that which money cannot buy: They learn to love and serve their fellowmen: To hunger and to thirst for higher things: To draw the line between the false and true. Because of me, it is my fondest hope, The children of this City of thy name Shall grow in knowledge, wisdom, virtue, power, So that in them, as men and women strong, Up-standing for the common good of all, You shall have citizens, O King, who mean To make their city clean in government, A better place in which to work and live, With parks and fair broad streets, and all that Art With thoughtful plan can do, will they employ To make this city fair the nation's pride. These things shall come to pass to honor you. 1 QEntet Central Highj s nsmnmgmm ss.'z.e-f,-4 ummm., 43: 1 lE! MOTHER SCHOOL AND ELDISR SISTER SCHOOLS 1.V SUIVTII ANI?

Westward the tide of empire takes its way And ere the span of live short years is run, A wondrous building fair to look upon, Is reared, by lovely homes environed And westward Mother Central sends again The march of learning's youthful pioneers To build anew another school whose fame Is soon to equal that of Mother School H And elder Sister Schools in South and North. The name of one whose fame throughout the land Is linked with Education's progress wide Is now bestowed upon this glorious school To uphold the standards of the old and new, SOLDAN! School of Opportunity! QEnter SAINT LOUIS: I bid you joyous welcome, Soldania, Thou Beacon Light of inspiration fair! In gentle dignity benign and poised, Thou'rt like a goddess, yet a woman fair. ED UCA TION: The fairest of all is she, O mighty King, Soldaniaj A woman young in years, but learned in truth With all Athene ever knew of old. She shall well teach the children at her side With knowledge shall she fill their hungry minds. With gentle, sweet persuasion shall she seek 18 . 5 6 11715.-ILS SH.-ILL liOI'l5R.X' .f1CTU:lL DEIEDS. To reason with the youth whose eager minds As gardens beauteous are consecrate To nurture in the radiant light of Truth. And she will lead,-they follow up the road,- The toilsome road of high endeavor to The heights, for they shall strive to leave The world enriched in beauty and in light. SOLDANIA: As Education says, so may it be, For all who enter Soldan High shall learn A truth majestic in simplicity- 'Tis only things of Spirit that endure. So shall my sons and daughters all be taught This lesson from the Past-they who seek self Alone in Life's superb adventure, must Lose life and sink in deep oblivion whelmedg Who freely lose that self, in deeds of love, Find life, and have it more abundantly. Who enter in my house of learning shall Sweet quietude of thought enjoy, and they Shall come away with priceless knowledge got. Mine shall forever be an institution Ageing not thro' countless years of toil In building minds and souls. Mine shall a school Eternal in its influence be, where high Ideals shall govern actual deeds: and here Thro' everchanging years the Makers of Tomorrow shall be taught their lives to lead In usefulness, that they shall make the earth 19 , 4: 'kv UPON THY BROW I PLACE THIS CORONIYT FOR IT IS IVHOLLY MINI?

SAINT LOUIS: Fair daughter to your gentle hands do I Commit right willingly the future of Ten thousand times ten thousand of my sons And daughters yet to be. Hearts great, faith true, Minds eager, hands ready shall be theirs. And you Shall have for champions strong and true, my Knights, Not only these attending me, but all The sturdy youth of now, the men and Women Of tomorrow, sons and daughters, all, Shall guard thy honor and uphold thy name 'Gainst calumny of evil thought and tongue.

For it is wholly mine to give. And now I lead thee forth in honor of thy throne. CLeads Soldania to a dais at right, My valiant Knights, Behold this lady, fair as fairest Spring. She would the humble folk from ignorant depths High on the mighty Mount of Learning set, That glorious mount whose towering peak, bold in The light of Knowledge all revealing gleams. With her, upon the long and hard won way Must go staunch champions of dauntless strength Unto her cause avowed. They'll ward her from All harm and foes and evils on the way, And those who follow in her steps, shall reach The shining goal. Now if ye know your strength Can hold, respond my Knights, and here acclaim This lady for your liege. Who'11 bear a shield For her? THE KNIGHTS Un one voicel: A boon, Sir King, I crave the quest for mine! SAINT LOUIS: With one accord ye make acclaim: and ye Shall serve her all. But four pre-eminent Among you all, shall aye your leaders be. Ye Knights, on whom my sceptered choice shall fall, Stand forth, accoutered each with sword and shield. 21 BE EVER STRAIGHT AND FAIR TO ALL YOU MEET NOR LET THE SHADOW OF A LIE INTRUDE. From foregone deeds, I know your proven worth, And so, to Soldan's Alma Mater's needs I consecrate your loyal service true. As Knights of old in search of Holy Grail Did ever keep in mind their plighted vows, So shall ye constant be, and falter not, Your only aim-observance of the right. In gentle Alma Mater here abound All beauty, love, and peace, and power. To these Her graces, shall ye match chivalrous strength: Truth, Honor, Freedom, Courtesy.

SOLDANIA: Right gallant Knights are yours, good King Would I of my regard some token give Unto these warrior gentlemen, that they In joust or tourney whereso'er they ride May bear the favor of their lady liege. 20 Now fain KING: What ho! My herald. Has come the time, when our Soldania fair Has need of colors bright and gay for each, And ev'ry Knight her favor proudly wears. Gog have the dancers brought, and say that they Shall come in colorful array for they must show As from an artist's palette gay of hue Colors in wondrous shade and tint and toneg Bright reds, pale golds, jade green, and royals too, Poured forth with freshest shades of early Sprin Shall be the golden warmth of Autumn days, Each lending grace and soft confusion gay Unto the dance. S, fThe dance of the Colors is presented by members of the girls dancmg classes m four groups. Soldania rejects the colors proffered by the dancers in the first three groups, but greets the Gold and Brown with enthusiasm. J SOLDANIA: Here falls my choice upon these Colors warm. I'1l wear them proudlyg and on you, brave Knights Bestow them as a token and a sign. When in the rich fullness of the harvest year Sweet Autumn comes enwrapped in colors warm As if to guard against the cold to come Upon the breath of winter white, Loved Mother Nature sheds her garb of green While in its stead she dons her joyous cloak Of colors bright, and rich and full of joy. The many fairy folk with magic wand Do Hit and dance among the forest glades Assisting Nature in her yearly change: They touch the countless, faded, weathered leaves, Rejuvenating them in fresh warm hues. So shall the mantle round my shoulders be Graced with the colors of the ripened year- Brown of the oak, and gold of maple tree, These shall a mystic symbol be of hopes And high ideals. Earth's lowly mould is brown, And golden bright the stars. Our modest tasks Of every day, the web-like threads of brown Shall be. They're nothing strange: just homely acts And kind, yet these are sweet when hearts beat high And this, not less, is pictured by the gold.

Consummate in his art, without a peer He fills the lives of men with joyous jest In Comedy which like a cooling draught Refreshes and delights the Spirit tired. He points a moral thro' their tragic tale Who sipped life's nectar from a poisoned cup. He took the loves and hates of men, and with His magic power made he such moving scenes They sway all who behold, as does the wind Upon a Summer's day, ripple the Held Of tassled stalks, heavy with golden corn. Who has not laughed with him, or wept? Who has Not loved the fertile garden of his mind? Who has not joyed in his melodious verse? CAI: excerpt from A Midsummer NigIzt's Dream is here presented by the Soldan Dramatic GuiId.j WAR-TIME MEMORIES Another page of history we turn, Then pause, those words of bravery to read While memories proud before our minds are brought Of bygone days and So1dan's warrior boys. But as we gaze the words grow dim and fade And from the mist before our eyes there comes The vision of the sons of Gold and Brown. A brightly burning fire they circle round, And sing the strains of music soft and sweet That seem at first quite far away, but then The past is freshened in our memories, The songs grow clearer, stronger, ere they cease. Before us now again the page we see And find that as the campfire burned and died, For some the flame of life has burnt and died. In Flanders Fields their hallowed dust, at Peace Their Shining Souls. On honor's roll their names. And though upon the shelf the book is placed Within our hearts remain the thoughts of them, The World's Great War and Soldan's Warrior Boys. Peace donned War's ugly gear to strive with War: She set her tramping feet against War's march, Her armored columns 'gainst his thundering guns. 30 The khaki hid her white and spotless robesg The bayonet replaced the olive branch. O, Mystic Peace! How dear are those that stained Thy Altars red with blood that Peace might come! They have not died in vain! Their life-stream feeds, Like holy oil, the high-held Lamp of Peace! CGrouped in tableau around a campfire, boys and girls of the music clubs, in khaki and in the Red Cross Nurses' uniforms, render the MARCHING SONG war songs. J BOYS We are the boys of Soldan In khaki, blue and white, We're going over yonder For Uncle Sam to iight. The Army and the Navy And other branches, too, Are calling for enlistments 'Neath the Red, White, and Blue. We leave our books and studies And friends and games and sports: We're training for the trenches And the cannon's loud reportsg We leave our homes, our mothers, And sweethearts, true and fair, And we won't be returning Till it's over, over there. GIRLS We are the girls of Soldan, Our fame goes near and farg We join the Red Cross unit For the winning of the warg We sacrifice our dainties, We work the long day through So we can serve our country 'Neath the Red, White, and Blue We'l1 miss the boys in khaki: For them we'11 sew and knit: And every girl in Soldan Will do her little bit. We'll send the boys our goodies , Across the briny foam: We'11 Hooverize our sugar Till the boys come marching home. CHORUS We're boys and girls of Soldan, We'11 serve at home and elsewhere In khaki, blue and white: We're here to do our duty To labor or to fight. With Soldan spirit true: Our Brown and Gold we'll mingle With the Red, White, and Blue. TO SOLDAN'S SONS CWritten in Memoriam, 1918.j Youth! a keen edged sword, a gage, A sounding bugle blown at morn, A striking note of harmony, A soaring, mounting hope just born. 'Tis youth that cares to live and love, And youth that dares to Fight and dieg 'Tis youth that dares to tread the earth With eyes that ever search the sky. Truth! Honor! Freedom! Courtesy! Our rnotto's Hung! It gleams on high! Its seeds are sown throughout the world By those who, living well, so die. Ah, lads, your lips were curved to sound The note that blew the battle's call, And shouts of sports have shaped those lips And joy, and laughter over all. You played and Worked in school's short day, Gained strength to face a broader world. All Soldan joins in praise to thee, To thee with banners half up-furled. We sing to thee on valor's Held, We sing to memory hallowed halls, We sing to standards raised aloft That live, though earth's foundation falls. Ye youths who sleep 'neath foreign skies, The spring has come to us againg Poppies in gracious beauty rise, As hope within the souls of men. Your spirit lives forever on, Winds whisper softly o'er your mounds, Your fame is writ in golden stars And through eternity resounds. SENIOR STUNTS AND REVELS flllustrated by members of the Senior Class in Stunt Day costumes.J Time immemorial has glorified The grace and beauty, joys and hopes of youth. Paeans have sounded forth in loud acclaim Of rarest pleasures found alone in youth. 32 E g J. Q ,fx But those who have thus tried to honor youth, Through finished art of sculpture, music, verse, Seem not to know that youth to youth does turn To understand and glorify itself. There is one day of gleeful play which comes To Seniors only. When for a time these halls Are thronged with Stunt Day apparitions Come from another world before our time. This is a day when pirates bold stroll through Our corridors with ancient Celtic bards. White chaste madonnas pause to speak to tall, Fierce warriors of ancient Rome. Fair maids Of Erin's Emerald Isle go tripping on The light fantastic toe. King Arthur and His favorite knight, the peerless Lancelot, Fair Helen for her beauty famed is seen With Galahad the pureg and Robin Hood, The poor man's friend with haughty Guinevere. Look sharply at the passing throng, and you Will surely see your favorite of book Or song enrolled in pleasant pageantry. FEATS OF GRACE AND SKILL Far off we hear the clamoring shouts of men, Proclaiming loud achievements of their sons In strength and skill, as, in Olympian Games The Greeks would cheer their heroes on to fame. So, Soldan boys, in modern games of strength, Outstrip their rivals often in the race, And then receive the honors with acclaim Of fellow students' joyous cheers and shouts. fExhibition work by the boys' gymnastic c1ubs.j THE MUSIC CLUBS IN OPERA All hail to the Mikado! Thrice hath he, With dainty toddling maidens sweetly shy, Who sugared o'er their saucy impudence To Yum-Yum and her lover, Nanki-Poo, With sweetest melody that softly sank Into our eager hearts, been welcomed here. In gaudy robes, with fluttering fans, they came In proud display, these youths of old japan. fExcerpt from the Mikado, presented by the music clubs.

Why sing They thus melodious chants of praise and joy? They are the noble progeny, the sons And daughters of a mighty queen of schools, Our Soldan. Forth to life's embattled charge Of hapless fate, or triumph, have they gone. Life beckoned to them with a gilded hand And pointed to the untried paths ahead With promise of great opportunity. Though eager, with reluctance, wavered they 'Twixt backward glance to fleeting joys, to catch The glimpse of things to be. Life's current now Has borne them on to new achievements, hopes, And aims. The joy of life, the urge is theirs, But still the chords of memory vibrate And draw them back to old familiar halls To honor Alma Mater with their praise. DANCE OF THE GOLD ANI?

There will be music, song, poetry, and page- antry among the Mantuans. If you should stop any man, woman, or little child in the streets of that ancient Italian city on the fifteenth day of October and ask, Why this joy? Why this revelry? you would be greeted with a smile of pity and pride, for not to know that this is the celebration of the two thousandth anni- versary of the birth of the greatest Mantuan, Publius Vergilius Maro, is like not knowing who chopped down a certain cherry tree, or who was born in a certain house in Stratford-on-Avon. Not only will there be a celebration in Mantua, but the whole lit- erary world will proclaim the birth of that illustrious and outstanding Roman. Classical teachers and lovers of the classics, too, will take a Vergilian pilgrimage and an IEneid cruise. It will be a great oppor- tunity for those who study and know the Aeneid to take this voyage which will follow as closely as possible the route of IEneas through the Mediterranean. Vergil lived at the time when the Republic had fallen and the Roman Empire was founded-the Augustan Age. It was then that the literary productions of the Latin race were at their height. Vergil was the chief figure of that group. Vergil looked into the past and also into the future. He gave expression to the past of his nation: he anticipated and even helped to create the future. He was the prophet of the Roman Empire and later he was accepted as the herald of spiritual Rome. When he had finished his great work, and not until then, according to the belief of the early Christian church, the time had come for the birth of Christ. Let us now consider the poems of Vergil that have made his name everlasting. These are the two pastoral poems: the Eclogues and the Georgics, and his masterpiece, the Aeneid. With the Eclogues, Vergil instilled a new humanism in the decadent Latin poetry. His Georgics did much to inspire the people to better the condition of agriculture. In the Georgics his descriptions of nature, the fields, the streams, the birds and the bees, have a stateliness which one finds in Milton and a magic interest found in Keats, Coleridge, Wordsworth, and other Eng- lish poets. The Aeneid had many purposes and it may be studied from many avenues of approach. It was to be a national epic, embodying the pag- eant of Roman history and at the same time connecting Rome with Italy and linking Rome with Greek civilization. Vergil died before he had fulfilled his purpose. The poem as it comes to us is not complete, ' rm.. rg - 'ji' xgiiljif jg . . 41 --s .-4 f fm' J-Sig -ff r gf f-f -f .11--R W, f yf. ., - ,5 yet it is an epic of all civilization and humanity. Vergil becomes not only the voice of Rome, but the poet and prophet of mankind. Vergil is not merely a prince of poetsg he is one of the makers and founders of the English language. Practically every great work of Eng- lish literature is indebted in some way to Vergil. Many of the English poets have worked laboriously in translating Vergil's poems. Why? So that they might the more be influenced by Vergil and Vergilianism, which is an element in their own poetry. There is one thing which to Vergil was of supreme importance, the necessity of which he saw in the eighteen years preceding the battle of Actium, which resembled in a great degree the tragic experience of the World War. This is the love of human beings for all nature and for their own human kindg the human kind which was to him throbbing with life and affection and full of love for his fellow men. Through the ages it is this which has endeared Vergil to thousands of readers who have felt the central inner glow of that human affection and the pulse of that great soul. Vergil can come to us in an even richer way, if we go out to him. He can mingle in our lives and become a part of what we feel and what we are. He can be someone to call on when we need an example of courage to sustain us against sorrow. He can help us when we are threatened, when we are defeated. He can give us an example of the love and comradeship that can be between father and son. He can be an example to men who follow their leader through desperate seas and in hostile lands. He can tell us how a man can obey, as Eneas did, a great divine will that calls him away from worldly pleasurers. Mankind is above all human and it needs humanism and the sense of truth, beauty, and joy to fulfill its mission in life. Art is the gift of joy: Vergil is one of the greatest artists because through his poems Vergil is the embodiment of simple piety, reverence, patriotism, the purity of the home, the joy of children's love, and above all the spiritual note as heard in the fourth Eclogue: Tu modo nascenti puero, Ac toto surget geas aurea mundo fave. Only do thou smile on the birth of the child and a golden race will spring up throughout the world. Or in modern English, A little child shall lead the world into righteousness and peace. Dorothy Zadow, january, '30. fThis speech was given at the graduation exercises of the class of January 1930 to commemorate the two thousandth anniversary of the birth of Vergil from whose poem, the Aeneid, the motto was selected.j 42 None but himself can be his finrallvl :Q 'sos -'sro C I C, i QP Sponsors and Officers of the Class of june, 1930 JIIC. ll'ILLIAlll GERBER MISS lllil.li.Y KOCH Kli,Y.YlfTH l?lZNNI57'l' Sponsor .5iI'UIl.Y0l' Prr.virlf.'n!

Oh, many castles have been built in Spain And many have fallen: they'1l be built again. For dreams are stuff by which the ways are laid Bright spots of pleasure. May they never fade! And so Spain calls us: haste we to that land, Softly, slumbering fires of romance fanned, Swarthy Spaniards, bold to do or die, Maids at a grated window, sweet and shy, Soft notes of a guitar, a lover's sigh, 98 Huge towers built by long o'erpowered Moors, Gay crowds acclaim successful Toreadors High convent walls-a street with people teems- A dream-world visited by a ship of dreams. My journey over, homeward I return. The dreams are gone, the common homely things Of life crowd back, for though we all may yearn At times, we would not wish to change with kings The state we have. We dream of all the rest, And turn at last to home, for home is best. May Holmes, january Metropolis l'k?5'i ACHINES, winding in and out, Q' Sliding, gliding, snake-like, ,CE 'ff A perfect net-work.

In the shop's one window murky, I spied a gleam of light- A silver sheen which seemed to say, I am a shaft of might. I entered the single darkened door And faced a low hung room Festooned with swords and dark with soot, Lit only by the moon. I met the ancient keeper hoary, Veteran of twenty wars His body was weighed and bent with years, His face was seamed with scars. I asked to see the beckoning blade, The silver symbol of Mars. The veteran took it from its hook- A notched brand of many wars. Oh matchless blade! It seemed to be, A thing of flesh and blood, A dancing Flame, a leaping steed, A true friend, tried and good. I bought it then and carried it long. It proved itself to me, Until one stormy night and drear, A foe it came to be. As I lay on my bed and thought, A footstep on the floor Aroused me from my lethargy- I drew my sword once more. I saw a figure draped in black- Out flashed a silver streak. I parried with my wondrous sword. It seemed his life to seek. 100 f A f- -Y - -A -f -1:-f f-' - f'- . A 5 The swords clashed free, the sparks fell fast- It seemed to heat my brain. I lunged and saw it all through red, My point his heart did gain. 'Tho I had killed before, I wept. I gasped, Who can it be? I held a candle near his face- Oh God! My brother! It was he.

The impish monkeys chatter on high At the lion's menacing roar. The tall grass breathes a solemn sigh, The sea gulls upward soar. Again we hear the harmony, Like an organ's chord, prolong- As if in ancient symphony- , The jungle's ancient song.

Oh, vague Uncertainty, must you conceal The praise or scorn to be my destiny, And must I sit and Wait 'till years reveal What Fate and Love have given dignity. Then give me faith and strength and courage all To labor on until success's call. Nancy jane Miller, 6.

O'er land and sea I feel that I must roam. And when the sunny summer days begin, I seek the many places of my dreams I leave the city-and the city's din, And live an outdoor life-how good it seems!

He wished, one night, that some one would help him decide, and scarcely had he formed this wish when a majestic figure appeared at his bedside and said, I am the Cumaean Sibylg follow me, and perhaps we may be able to settle your di1'Hculty. He did so, and the adventure has been recorded for us in the following lines: Swift as light they sped away To lands afar, and whither no Man knows, and whither none can say. But now their Hight was o'er, and lo, Before a forest vast they stood. The Sibyl spoke, Nor can we trust Ourselves to this enchanted wood Without the golden boughg we must, Then, wrest from yonder towering tree Its precious burden. No sooner said Than done. But wait, and thou shalt see The wisdom of this deed. Though dread The beasts and foul the monsters who Infest these verdant groves, this bough A passage safe assures theeg do Thou guard it well. But tell me how- No questions now, the Sibyl said, Ere bright Aurora from her couch, When dewy shades from earth have fled, Lights heaven with her rosy touch, Dread Latin's secrets thou shalt know. And with thy knowledge aiding thee, No difficulty, then, I trow, Thy course presents. Why, thou shalt see. They entered then the gloomy woods. Ere long appeared three figures, dismal, Their serpent locks encased in hoods Whence gleamed, malignant, Herce, abysmal, Their searching eyes. Now, have no fear, These Furies need not so affright thee: The golden bough protects thee here. They hurried on. But, horrible to see, A raging monster stalked about. 104 Ziff 'T is Syntax, the mighty, stern and grim. He often causes men to doubt Their senses, and his cruel whim It is to drive them madg but he Who holds the golden bough no fears Need have. He'1l prove to be But a ghost whose harmless form appears. Pursuing still their gloomy course, Many the dreadful sights they Saw. There was the steaming horse Whose nostrils darted fire: they say He does the work of ten: and Dame Sibyl said, The fiery steed CAblative Absolute is his namej Knows no master. But proceed Here's the swamp where swarm the brood Of snakes they call Subjunctives. All Are vipers. Gazing, rapt they stood - And watched the slimy creatures crawl. Observe that hideous demon whose Three heads and venomous fangs Strike terror to the hearts of those Who, trembling, seek him-grievous pangs He causes. Yes, it is the dread Condition. And a thousand other Serpents creep in this dire bed Of grief. But now we near another Noisome haunt of sorrow. Lo, See this valley dank with weeds o'ergrown Clogged with Rules-the Vale of Woe. They were the seeds by Syntax sown. Scarce one but owns to clutching thorns Or poisonous vapor exudes. But never this accurs'd vale scorns The golden bough, nor deludes Its owner. But even the fortunate Who pluck the golden bough must walk Softly here, else, importunate, Grasping, these parasites will balk Their progress. There a mass we see, A tangled mass, of thorny vines Whose clinging tendrils ne'er will free The struggling souls whom it entwines So hopelessly.

Then cried The Sibyl Cas Sibyls often doj, Behold this grassy plain, this wide Plateaug and there, drawn up in rows Of glittering steel, great Caesar's legions Still, as of yore, repel their foes, While Cicero dwells in regions Veiled in smoke from his fiery words-clouded Ever his immortal speeches. Marois lofty strain is shrouded In delicate mist. And he who reaches These demigodsf' the Sibyl said, Is he who from the tree has plucked The aureous branch. Their journey's end was drawing near When thus the Sibyl spoke: But one The version we have seen, while here, Of Latin's secrets deep. And none Would care long to endure it. But not ever Thus it is. Your fears be laid To rest. Such views as those thou never Needst to share.

Nevertheless, it was V ri I' Q waved his hand in a negative gesture to the guide, who was mg 4' ,V if ' Q . ., A water. John drank. Young man, would you kindly give me a little water from your canteen? I am very thirsty, and my bottle was accidentally dropped and broken an hour ago. John jumped and nearly lost his balance. An English voice! Glory be! A blessed English voice addressing a homesick traveler! He looked around. The guide sat down and gloomily crossed his legs in disgust. Mr. Jones saw no one near. He looked below to the very base of the great structure, thereby endangering his life by leaning over too far. No one was there. Had he heard aright? Sir, would you kindly let me have just a little wee bit of water? piped up the plaintive voice anew. I am up here, sir, on the next ledge. If you could reach up, I could reach down, and . . . John looked up. The next ledge towered over his head, but a quaint bewhiskered face was thrust forth over the end, giving the appearance of a decapitated victim of the guillotine, as the body was not in evidence. Oh, I'll come up, if you don't mind. Abdallah, give us a boost ! In a twinkling, Mr. jones found himself six feet nearer heaven. He stared at his surroundings. The broad ledge was littered with numerous papers, and the scraps of a lunch of sandwiches. Compasses, pencils, and blueprints, besides a drawing-board, composed a pleasing conglomeration of inappropriate objects for a tomb. A huge sunshade cast a grateful shadow in the sweltering heat. A plump little man in a white duck suit, wearing immense spectacles and possessing a non- descript nose, was beaming at him from under the umbrella. Welcome to my office, sir! No, there's plenty of room. just be careful of the papers. Now, if you would just- john handed him the canteen, removed his hat, and mopped his heated brow, whilst the other gurgled cheerfully as he drank the water. Thank you very much, sir, said the little man at last, returning the canteen. Now, if you would like to rest here a while, you are perfectly welcome. It is so very hot. You were not contemplating entering the tomb? Oh, no-no- said john hastily. A mummy gives me creeps. The little man looked bewildered, and replied mildly, The ruins are very interesting, though, of course, the valuable pieces have been 108 dx, '11, -A --T i-f-1!- --T -fi f Y fl' -' '3' ':J 7. 9 removed. However, you are quite welcome to stay here a while. My- my name is Patrick Murphy. What! Murphy-Mr. Patrick Murphy? The great engineer? Are you Mr. Murphy the engineer? demanded Mr. jones. Mr. Murphy blushed vividly. Well, yes. And you really will let me stay here? Of course. Well, I'l1 be a fox-terrier. Wait till I tell Mom that I accepted an invitation from Mr. Pat- I said you might stay here a while-out of the sun, you know, said Mr. Murphy, uneasily. Jones turned to the waiting guide. You just trot along, Abdallah. Here are some shekels or ducats or whatever you call 'em. So long. The two men sat down under the umbrella, Turkish fashion. Mr. Murphy picked up a drawing-board. What are you doing, sir? Mapping the Sphinx? Murphy's eyes kindled. No, a more important work even than that. Much more important. I have been chosen to plan one of the greatest pieces of philanthropic engineering projects ever attempted, on the same high plane with the Panama Canal and the Saint Lawrence River system. I have been chosen, sir, to install drinking-fountains in every recess of this lofty pyramid! Oh, said Mr. jones. Think! The thirsty tourist will no longer endure agony. The toil- ing workmen can refresh themselves. The suffering of every class can receive relief and reviviiication. I shall never again bother you by asking for water. The Arab wanderer may stop at the Pyramid for water instead of struggling to the next oasis. Eventually, drinking fountains will be installed in every pyramid and temple, and even at the very Sphinx, as mankind realizes the need for such improvements. The Nile, that Mother of civilization, will serve another purpose besides moistening this fertile valley. Say, that'll be keen, said Mr. Jones. Yes. I have never been prouder nor more gratified in my life than when I was called from my task of designing a bridge in the Malay Peninsula to perform this mammoth task. My young daughter, Pome- rania, is to contrive some artful ornamentation for the adornment of the fountains. She studied drawing at the Sorbonne. I believe in educating my children to the very highest degree possible. Why, dear me, there she is now. A young voice called out, Papa, are you up there? Give me a lift, 100 1' Q s ef- e if -e -s V 'X e,..f-N S-,ff-Q--.,ffg,.,X - -' fp' please. Sargon made me come alone, the brute. john Jones sprang to his feet. With all the ardor of his twenty-six years and seven months, he was a great hand with the ladies. He leaned over the ledge and stretched out his brown fist. A white hand was reached to him, but was suddenly withdrawn. Oh-oh, sir-pardon me. I thought- That's all right, Miss Murphy. just give us your hand and up you'll come. Your pa is up here. A flushed fair countenance was turned up to him, and a smile twin- kled in two brown eyes. All right, then. Careful, I have some crayons here. One strenuous moment, and Miss Pomerania Murphy stood beside him, smiling. Her father got to his pudgy feet. My dear, may I present Mr.- John Jones, inserted that individual. -a very Fine young man. My daughter, Pomerania, sir. Only, you may call me Pom, she remarked. But john, as he observed the girl's beauty and simple grace in her khaki uniform, decided that he would call her something else before many months had ambled by. You see, said Murphy, sitting down again, my wife and I have made it our practice to name our children in an original manner, out of the commonplace. Pom, now, was born in the duchy of Pomerania, so naturally we named her after it. Her older brother, Sargon, was named after the great Assyrian hero. Mesopotamia, the second boy, was born there while I was doing some excavations in that vicinity. Leipzig, another boy was born in that beautiful city. Australia, Pom's sister, was introduced to the world while I was performing some construction work in Queenstown. Malay, the baby girl, was born in Malay eight months ago. Whereas, my name is Patrick, and my wife's is Mary Ann. So you see how in some respects the younger generation is an improve- ment on the elder, and also what a benefit travel is in providing zest in family life. John coughed violently. He stole a glance at Pom. She was scar- let, evidently on the verge of tears. He restrained all comment. Mr. Murphy calmly continued his work. Pom dropped her box of crayons and nervously lingered a ring. Mr. jones, would you like to go over the Pyramid with Pom? asked the engineer presently. She knows it like a book. john sprang up with alacrity. Pomerania also arose, wreathed in smiles. And, Mr. jones, continued the little man, if you like, you may come and have supper with us some night. See those tents way off there by a well? Those are our headquarters, where we re living tem- 110 --'rf-f - ,f A ufwg- :T -117 fs--S-' -' ,Y-fx . f5-' porarily. Come tomorrow, if you will, and I'll tell Mary Ann to arrange a bountiful repastf' Thank you, sir! replied John, involuntarily glancing at Pom. She looked happy. John promptly determined to stay in the region of the Great Pyramid until the Murphys also left it. wk vk wk Pom sat on a camp-stool in the sand by the well. A great palm towered over her, and many stars, crystal and sparkling, lent a silver radiance to the flat plain and distant hulking Pyramid. They were reflected in the broad Nile, as they had been reflected there in the days of the Pharaohs. Mr. jones was beside the girl. Also, they were alone. Pom, honey, whispered John tenderly, is something troubling you? You seem so sad sometimes. Can't you tell me? Pom sighed and bowed her head. john, ever since I met-I mean, for quite a while now, I've been longing for something. When I was a little girl I felt the same desire, but couldn't name it. Now, I can name it, for I've just realized- Yes, dear? quavered Mr. Jones. I've just realized that what I want is a home! Oh, gasped john eagerly, I-I'll give- A home, continued Pom hastily, where I can learn to know the rooms, and love each chair and table and have my own pictures and my piano, and make friends and-John, can you realize how we've lived ever since I can remember? Traveling from place to placeg from city to cityg staying in hotels, camps, tents. I've seen America only once, and my parents were both born there. But Dad became an engineer, and all we've done is globe-trot forever. Oh, I've just begun to under- stand-oh-h- She burst into tears. She trembled and swayed back and forth on her stool. john comprehended perfectly that the only place she could find consolation was-well, a shoulder is always convenient, you know. Five minutes later Pom was signed up ffiguratively speakingj for a home. But, john dearest, she whispered to his coat-collar, remember, we must live in one place. Oh, please, let's never set foot in a railroad station when we once have our little home. All right, honey. I'm awful sick of traveling, myself. vs wk me There is a very neat little house in a suburb of Chicago. It has a peculiar roof, and huge windows, and a microscopic lawn, and two Chi- nese pots by the front door, and stuccoed walls. Altogether, a remark- ably original little house. Mr. and Mrs. jones were seated one morning at the breakfast table, still a blissful and tender couple after six months of wedded life. lll More sugar, john? queried Mrs. Jones. She looked quite as pretty in a ruffled house-dress as in her boyish khaki uniform. Yes, love-three lumps! replied John, gazing at her in his most soulful manner. Oh-oh, how could you, john? You know you eat too much sweet stuff. One lumpf' Three, insisted the lord of the house. One,,' repeated Pom, firmly. And john took one. Stirring his coffee energetically, john said in a low voice, Honey, I've been feeling kind of queerish lately. Haven't you? With much artificial indignation she rctorted. What makes you think so? How can you draw such outlandish conclusions? John sighed lugubriously and said nothing, drinking his coffee glumly. Presently, Pom remarked, with effort, Maybe it's spring fever, john. It gets into your system some way, when everything is green- Like green apples, I suppose, said john brightly. Pom continued with supreme dignity, I shall brew some sassafras tea, as our grandmothers used to. That should thin your blood. Ye gods, no, Pom! cried john in alarm. It can't be right to try to thin a person's blood. It can't-anyway, that's not the trouble. Pom wrinkled her brow. Well, she said, suddenly, let's try a different brand of coffee. Maybe we'd better cut it out entirely and use Postum. It isn't healthy to have so much caffeine in us. john leaned forward and seized her wrist firmly. Pom, he said with slow emphasis, you know that's not the trouble. She evaded his gaze. Pomerania jones, he continued with deadly earnestness, you know what the trouble is. She cast a swift glance at him, then lowered her eyes again. Pres- ently she jumped up and cried vehemently, But we can't! After all we said to the folks, and-I tell you, we can't! All right, said Mr. jones airily. If you want to be miserable yourself, if you want to see your husband pining away-all right, I say ! She sank back weakly. And you know who- continued Mr. Jones. Oh, don't say it was my fault! Oh, don't be so mean! All right, honey, said he, soothingly. But shall we? Very well, said Pom shortly. john sprang up with thc playful bound of a happy lamb. He flung on his hat, seized a checkbook, and was nearly out of the house, when he turned and shouted to Pom, Does it matter where? No, You know it doesn't matter where! 112 Q Mr. jones bumped into an acquaintance on the street and almost knocked him down. jones-holy cats, man, murder gleams in your eye. Where's the Fire? No place, hissed john through clenched teeth, striding away. The victim clutched his coat-tail and demanded, See here, where are you going? Somebody sick? No! shouted Mr. jones. And we're going first to New York and then to Finland and then on a tour of Siam and Patagonia. Now will you shut up and let me by? Frances England, 5. Death From the Skies HE ordinarily peaceful and sleepy mining town of La Paz, Bolivia, was in an uproar of terror and unrest when Bob Sloan, young Yankee Investigator Extraordinary for the U Bolivian Government, arrived at the Hotel Bolivar. In the F H' lobby, a group of excited business men and mining engi- neers, both native and foreign, were discussing the startling and horrible events of the last week with much heat. I tell you, shouted a small, red-faced, and angry-looking indi- vidual, this thing has gone far enough. Why don't the Federal people take a hand in this? They make a big fuss over trivial details like that Lode B fracas and the Alvarez case, but when something big like this comes along-why, they just curl up and quit, that's all! Take it from me-if I had my wife and baby down here-and thank God they are safe home in the States-I'd keep 'em indoors day and night, and you can lay your bottom dollar on that! Save for a wry smile, Sloan gave no indication that he had heard the explosive words of the red-faced one, and, after ascending to his room and handing the native bellhop live pesos with directions to ask Senor Rojas to see him at once, sank into the only chair of which the hot, dusty room boasted and sought solace in his battle-scarred briar until the Commandant of Native Police should arrive, for such was the official position of the young Senor Rojas. The local arm of Law and Order proved to be an intelligent fellow who spoke good English: and, after seating himself as comfortably as possible on the springless bed, gave the American detective the facts in the case, which were, somewhat condensed, as follows: At dusk on the Monday past, Pedro Gonzales, the son of a herds- man living somewhat on the outskirts of the community, started out to lead home his father's small herd of cattle, which was grazing on a small plateau some two miles or so distant from the family habitation. As 113 -c W -. - - the evening wore on, and the boy did not return, the elder Gonzales set out in search of him. Arriving on the plateau where the cattle had been feeding, he found no trace of themg but discovered the lad's torn and bloody cap, as well as other portions of his clothing. The ground within a radius of several yards from the spot where the cap was found was torn up and marked as if a struggle had taken place. The police made their usual investigations but were unable to un- earth a single clue as to Pedro's whereabouts or that of his murderer, if a homicide had been committed. The cattle were found within a mile of their usual pasture, lathered with foam and showing evidences of having been badly frightened. While Rojas himself was working on the First case, live additional murders Qfor there now seemed no doubt as to the nature of the crimej were committed in and around La Paz, one on each of the Eve evenings immediately following that of the first. Each case concerned a young boy or girly each occurred after nightfallg and in each case the victim was alone at the time of the crime, and no trace was found of his body. After a great deal of hard work, Rojas had finally given up in despair and had sent for outside aid to solve the baffling mysteries. After sleeping on the information of Rojas that night, Sloan arose next morning with the firm conviction that the crimes were the work of a demented native, probably a hillsman, who hid amid the winding canyons and craggy glens of the neighboring Andes by day and slunk out to strike down his innocent victims after night had fallen. With this theory in mind, Sloan spent the next week scouring the locality in search of such an individual-sending a posse deep into the hills and combing all of the town's underworld dives and opium dens. He also inquired of the various government sanitariums and penal insti- tutions located near La Paz as to whether or not such a person had recently escaped. All of these projects returned negative results. After two weeks' time had passed, and he was no nearer to a solu- tion of the mysteries than he had been upon his arrival in La Paz, the young American received a sharp telegram from his chief, pointing out that, while no more crimes had been committed fdue to the fact that Sloan had given strict orders for all young children to remain indoors after nightfallj, the American had made no headway in solving the crimes. The message ended with a curt command to visit the chief at Sucre, about two hundred miles south of La Paz, in the heart of the Andes. Sloan dejectedly packed his handbag, paid his hotel bill, and drove out to the new Bolivian airport, located on the edge of the city, and boarded one of the new junkers planes recently purchased from the German Firm of that name by the Government for use on the two weekly trips made between the Bolivian metropolis and Santiago, Chile. 114 Although the plane was of German make, the pilot was cast in a Yankee mold, and Sloan, his only passenger, struck up a lively conver- sation with him during the Hrst part of the journey. Soon, however, the baffled sleuth dropped into a moody silence, only to be suddenly aroused by an abrupt exclamation from the pilot. What's the fuss? asked Sloan. Another of those pesky condors, sir. Almost hit us, too. See, it has some farmer's calf in its claws. Tough on some poor guy. Sloan looked out of the cabin window with interest. He saw a huge, dull-black bird with a wingspread of probably ten feet flying slowly past, bearing in its talons a young calf, whose child-like bleats sounded strangely human as they rose above the drone of the muffled motor. A thrill, as if of discovery, passed through the angular frame of the young American. Pilot ! he shouted. Pilot-turn back to La Paz at once! Eureka! I've got it at last ! O. K., sir, said the frozen-faced birdman. Well folks, said Sloan, enthroned in the best chair in the lobby of the Hotel Bolivar, as he addressed a group of American residents some days after his dramatic return to La Paz, when I saw that bird winging off with that unfortunate calf, I knew I had hit upon the solution of the whole ghastly business. When I got back here, I looked up all I could End on the condor, and found that, while it prefers carrion to fresh meat, it will, when pressed by hunger, carry off living animals weighing up to one hundred pounds. Usually cattle and sheep are thus carried off, but in this instance, that big fellow over there fhe jerked his thumb in the direction of a mighty condor, with a wingspread of over twelve feet, which was suspended from the hotel's wall by means of stout cords, somehow got a liking for human flesh, and-well, that's just about all there was to it. He swooped down on the children after dark, when no one could see him, and carried them off before they were able to utter a single cry for help. Finding his lair and killing him was an easy job for your native hillsmen, as a condor is very slug- gish after feeding. As you know, the remains of the unfortunate chil- dren were found in the nest, high on the side of an Andes peak. William Mason, 6. l 115 1- .. T W - A-L we-A at 2- Injustice V, CONSIDER' it most unfair of Aunt Elizabeth to blame me. gif' It was not my fault. My position was practically that of an innocent bystander, and as for saying that I corrupted E 5 her son's ideals, caused the upheaval of their normal home- - I ff' life Cfurniture, I should sayj and all those other ridiculous charges which she made-that is downright slander! As a matter of fact, it was Mother who began it. I was serenely eating chocolates and dutifully trying to remember that the square of the hypothenuse is equal to the sum of something or other, when she entered the room. Angela, CMother is one of the many mistaken persons of this world who believe that a girl of fifteen has no mind nor will of her ownj Angela, I think it would do you a great deal of good to get out of the city for a While. I've written Elizabeth. She says it will be all right for you to stay with her for a while. Tomorrow is the last day of examinations, isn't it? Now, I didn't want to go. If my wishes had been consulted, Aunt Elizabeth would probably never have seen me. So you see it was through no volition of mine that the Napoleonic statue was broken. My going was caused by the coming of the Robertsons, who have never liked me since I accidentally broke their family heirloom, while fishing for goldfish in their sunparlor. I arrived at Curtin, the dullest town in America, three days later. Aunt Elizabeth was waiting at the station. It had been some years since I had seen Aunt Elizabeth, but I vaguely remembered her as the type of person who is capable of sitting through a three-hour sermon without blinking an eyelash, who insists that the family enter the house by the side door so the front steps may stay clean, and who has abso-I lutely no sense of humor. She hadn't changed. She came towards me as I scrambled off the train. How do you do, Angela? she said. I'm glad you've arrived. The train was late. She spoke precisely as though it were my weight which had held it back. We Walked to her house. The conversation along the Way was not very enlivening. She asked about Mother's health. Then she hoped that I had had a pleasant journey-not very enthusiastically, however. I assured her that I had, and added that it was a beautiful day. She agreed and the conversation lapsed. Altogether I was exceedingly glad when we reached the house. Aunt Elizabeth's house is a horribly perfect affair. The hedges are trimmed correctly, there is never anything on the lawn save what should be there, the steps are like snow before it's covered with soot, and if anyone has an idea of sitting on the porch it is promptly crushed by dear Aunt Elizabeth. We entered by the side door. 116 I U47 i f lg Yi 7 Q 43 47 , Inside the house it is exactly as it is outside. A house of that sort has absolutely no individuality. But I had been expecting it. As we entered I asked how my cousin, Billy, was feeling and was promptly and properly withered by my aunt for my flippant use of the nickname. My question however was answered without her assistance. We had entered the large long room and right in the center I saw a boy seated by a table, his head bent over a book. William is quite well, announced Aunt Elizabeth with emphasis on the name. William, come here and meet your cousin, Angela. I didn't think much of that as an -introduction and probably Billy for Williamj didn't either, but he got up and came forward. Billy Fairfax is a thin boy, a little taller than I am, with horn-rimmed glasses. I took one glance at him and decided we had nothing in common. He evidently decided the same. How do you do, Angela. He spoke in the exact tone in which Aunt Elizabeth had spoken. Fine, thanks. How are you? I returned. Quite well, thank you, was his brilliant reply. I began to wonder if this was going to go on all night. It did not. Aunt Elizabeth helpfully spoke. You'1l want to wash before supper, Angela. Really, I don't see how you managed to get your face so dirty, even on the train. That is my idea of frankness personified. I didn't care for the remark particularly and would probably have said something I shouldn't, if Emma fAunt Elizabeth's servantj hadn't entered in a fury. Mis' Fairfax, she raged, them tramps have been here again. Both my pies what I left on the window sill to cool are gone and not even the plates left, the thievin' brutes. I declare, Mis' Fairfax, if something ain't done about this I- Don't lose control of yourself that way, Emma, ordered my aunt. It won't bring back the pies. But this stealing must stop. I can't spare the money to buy pies for thieving tramps. She went into the kitchen and Emma followed. The wailing protest came back to us. But my pies-and the third time in a week. The best pies- The tramps have been stealing everything for the past week and no one has been able to do anything about it, observed Billy, feeling that an explanation was due. I had gathered that much, having ordi- nary intelligence. Stupid of them, I remarked. I , There's really nothing so tiresome as the type of boy who is displeased when interrupted at his studies. I believe he felt rather discouraged, and I don't blame him. For the sake of saying something, I inanely remarked that it wasn't particularly interested was a beautiful 117 fi .. 1: ,L 1-N.,-1-utvnk 4-Jikfn If -V r - day fthe second time I had said that in ten minutesj. Naturally he agreed and I flopped into a chair, bored and disgusted. We were sitting there silent when Aunt Elizabeth returned. I was there for a week, becoming more bored each day. The chief excitement of the first seven days was wondering whether or not the tramps would steal something. In that dead little town there was noth- ing else to think of. Is it any wonder that my thoughts ran to thieves? Aunt Elizabeth was rather dreadful at times. She was horrified when I joined into a game of baseball with the boys. William would never think of such a thing! and words can't express her feelings on discov- ering my reading Elinor Glynn's novels. Toward the end of the week my greatest enjoyment came in seeing how many ways I could shock her. You can imagine her opinion of me. It was my last evening there that she went to the evangelist's meeting. She didn't consider taking me-for which I was thankful. She doesn't believe that I have any hope of getting into Heaven, any- way. Billy had a headache. I wonder. After she had gone I curled up in a big chair QAunt Elizabeth says that all ladies keep their feet on the Hoorj with the latest Photoplay. I don't know what Billy was reading- History of the United States, probably. Shortly after Emma went to bed he looked stealthily at me over the top of the book. Angela, he whispered in the tone the vil- lain of the melodrama uses to his confederates, I'm hungry. Do you think-? Billy, I'm thinking the same thing. Here we sit starving, with a huge chicken and heaven knows what else, in the next room. You're thinking that dear Aunt Elizabeth considers eating between meals a penitentiary crime. Well, who cares? Buck up, laddie, come on. Let's get food. Whether or not he was thinking that, we went into the kitchen. We ate everything in sight and were enjoying ourselves fin spite of Billy's tendencies towards glancing at the doorj when we heard the noise- the grating of a key in the lock. I looked at Billy and Billy looked at me. Aunt Elizabeth, I murmured wondering what she would say to this layout, but defiantly telling myself that I didn't care. Mother! stuttered Billy. He seemed to be more impressed. He's known Aunt Elizabeth longer. Billy, said I, rather worriedly, as we heard the door being opened, what is the proper thing to do? Billy was looking pathetically like my dog when he's expecting a whipping-though of course, Rex doesn't wear horn-rimmed glasses. Finding no help there I tiptoed to the door and opened it a crack. It's always best to get the lay of the land before deciding on action. 11S wg: ---- e- - -JQVH - A man was leaning over Aunt Elizabeth's desk hurriedly going through the drawers. I don't know what Billy's thoughts were at the moment but speak- ing for myself, I could have embraced the intruder-both because he was not Aunt Elizabeth and because he would bring some excitement into a dull house. As he continued leaning over the desk with his back turned and didn't look very formidable, I looked around for a weapon. Having nothing better, I picked up the bread knife and turned to my cousin. Billy, I whispered, it's a thief and we've got to catch him. For the love of Mike, try to imagine that you're a hero. But Angela- he murmured vaguely. There was a look of dazed horror on his face as he watched me tiptoe forward to the table in the center of the room. Naturally I enjoyed that. Everyone has ambition at some time in his life to be looked upon as a hero. This was appar- ently my big moment and, for that reason, I gathered courage to con- tinue. I was quaking in my shoes but I had to show Billy that I wasn't a trembling baby like him. I picked up a big fountain pen from the table and, handing the bread knife to Billy, crept up behind the man who was still impatiently turning over papers. I prayed that his gun might not be handy. Still praying, I jammed the handle of the pen against his back and commanded, Put 'em up, the way it's done in novels. It sounded rather weak. The man jerked erect. Good Lord! he exclaimed. He made no move to obey and I repeated my command. He complied slowly and I began to get bolder. What are you doing here ? I demanded unnecessarily. 'Tm look- ing for Mrs. Fairfax' money, he returned. Who on earth are you? He seemed surprised but unafraid. I haughtily replied, I am Mrs. Fairfax' niece and he- nodding towards Billy- is Mrs. Fairfax' son. Indeed? drawled the intruder. Glad to meet you, of course. My name is Gene Wilson. And if the cross-eyed gentleman on my left would kindly lower his weapon, I would be much more pleased to make his acquaintance. 'Tm not cross-eyed, denied Billy hotly, like a child of five. So sorry, apologized the cheerful idiot, merely the effect of look- ing over my shoulder. If you really don't mind, I'd like to turn around. Since I most feared that, I sternly ordered him to stay as he was. He amiably complied, but remarked complainingly, Don't you think it would be possible not to jab that thing into my ribs so hard? I'm rather ticklish. Incidentally, what is it? Billy, I commanded, startled by the question and not daring to make the creature a direct reply, as I never was a good liar, telephone the police. I'll keep him covered. 110 My cousin laid down the bread knife, but hesitated. Are you sure you can hold him, Angela? Certainly, said I impatiently. Hurry! He turned away, still hesitantly and in that instant the man-he was really a boy-whirled and caught my wrist. He had the pen in less time than it takes to tell it and then stepped back, looked at it, and laughed. just as I thought, said he and looked up from it to me. My dear child, he began, you really aren't old enough to be trying things of this sort, particularly when your weapon- And then Billy did the thing from which I haven't yet recovered. He made a headlong dash at Gene Wilson, clutched him in a wild bear- hug and yelped, Call the police, Angela! I'll hold him. Truthfully I wou1dn't have been more surprised if my pet mouse, Nebuchadnezzer, had attempted the thing. I stood where I was, stunned and staring. It was the crash of Aunt Elizabeth's desk as it went over that brought me back to a knowledge of what was happening. I watched the combatants as they swayed across the room, hugging each other in affectionate embrace, falling over two chairs and a footstool, and landing in a heap between the sofa and the piano. When they were up and knocking each other in amateur fashion about the room, I de- cided that it was time for me to take a hand. I admit it was unfor- tunate that that awful bust of Napoleon was so handy, but I was telling the truth when I later claimed that the remembrance of how Aunt Eliza- beth adores the thing did not even enter my head at the time. Unluckily -or luckily-the thing was so large as to be unwieldy and I missed. I did not aim at the bookcase and shall never forgive Aunt Elizabeth for accusing me of doing so. As for the sofa and the rest of the furniture-they were all knocked over during that ridiculous struggle. The telephone went into the cor- ner early in the game: and it was Billy's head that knocked down the picture of Aunt Elizabeth's great-aunt, jennifer. Nor was it I who knocked Billy unconscious. It was Emma who brought down the flower pot. She heard the noise and came lumbering out of her room. She stopped with a jolt at the top of the staircase and glared down at us. One glance suffxced for her to comprehend the situation. She gave one wild yelp and fainted. When a woman of Emma's size faints, it means something. As she went down, she carried with her the big Hower pot, which knocked off the smaller one. The latter struck the banister, slid down, bounced fdon't ask me how it did it. I don't knowj, and struck Billy. Gene Wilson disentangled himself from Billy's recumbent form and arose. He looked around the wrecked room and then at me. What he said probably wouldn't have pleased Aunt Elizabeth's evangelistic 120 A. . e ve. g- . A .3 -f bf- g-f 1- .5251-fe preacher, but it expressed the precise feelings of both himself and me. Well, I don't know what it's all about, he panted, but you can bet this is the last time I ever do anyone a favor. The door opened and Aunt Elizabeth walked in. Aunt Elizabeth is a stern Spartan-like woman. Of course, it is probably true that such a thing never happened till I came, but it was not fair of her to blame it all on me. I ask you, how could I have drawn different conclusions? How was I to predict that a sudden Cand unusualj seizure of generosity would prompt my aunt to want more money to give to that evangelistic preacher, and that she would send that creature, Gene Wilson? Anyone but he would have explained matters at once. The thing that bothers me most is-what got into Billy? The poor boy doesn't seem sure of himself and has lapsed into his old manner. But I suppose everyone has outbursts of heroism. Billy is repenting this at his leisure. As for sending me home like a naughty child-that was atrocious. But, of course, Mother agreed and I am not to get the new wrist watch and other trifles that I was promised if I would go to my aunt's home without further argument. I shall certainly never go to Aunt Eliza- beth's again, though Billy was sensible enough to see that my coming had nothing to do with the happenings. Now, be fair. Was it my fault? Certainly not! Winifred Hosch, 5. The Refugee V pm' YOUNG woman stood at the door of a low-roofed house near Sify W the sea-shore. There was no other dwelling-place in sight, ,xg and the rambling old mansion seemed monarch of that part 'X' , of the Scottish coast. Q 4: It was a dreary day, late in the year. If there were clouds in the sky then, there were gloomier clouds obscuring the future of Scotland. For Prince Charlie, the reckless Pretender, had been defeated, and with him all hopes of the Stuarts were ruined. His partisans were fieeing for their lives, many finding refuge in France. Jean Campbell leaned against the door-frame, gazing with eyes that were burning with tears at the gray troubled sea and the lonely shore. This slight girl was mistress of the house, the only Campbell left under its roof. Her father and brother had both died under English swords, and she was alone, an orphan. As the clock in the hallway wheezingly hailed four of the afternoon, Jean heard the galloping of frantic hoofs down the bare winding road. Filled with nameless foreboding, she crouched against the door, like a drooping flower in her full skirts. 121 '-L:.-- -Y mia. -A 4- I if -ff 5-fm Y Y mf,- The horseman resolved himself into a clear shape silhouetted on the sky as he approached the house. He brought up at the cobble-stoned courtyard, dismounted, and hastened toward the door. Jean shrank back into the shadows, until she saw his face. Then she gave an joyous cry and ran into his arms. David, David, have you really come back? Am I really seeing you? I had no hope, I thought you were-dead. For reply, David McCulloch pressed her tighter to his muddy rid- ing-coat. Then he pushed her away, cut his horse with the whip, and sent the startled animal galloping across the beach to lose itself in mists. Then, in a tense anxious voice: Have you any place to hide me? The Southrons are following meg I haven't an hour's start on them. Jean gasped and stared at him, unbelieving. Then she seized his arm, led him into the house, saying hoarsely, Good Lord, how can You let a man be hunted like a dog? There is a place in the cellar, David- Together they went through empty rooms to the kitchen. Luckily, the servants were in another part. jean opened a narrow door near the brick oven. Gathering her skirts up in her hand, she stepped cau- tiously down the ladder, David following. They entered the cellar, which was small and dark, gloomy as the catacombs. The girl ran across the mouldy floor to a corner filled with cobwebs. Her delicate lips curling in distaste, she burned the webs away with her candle. Come here, David. Push that stone back-I'm not strong enough. She pointed to one of the large blocks that formed the wall. David set his shoulder to it and pushed manfully. At last it yielded, swinging on hinges back into a dark opening hollowed out in the ground. David, there is a secret passage here, that has existed for centuries. None but I now know of it-not even the servants. It leads clear down to the beach--but you won't go there, will you? If you stay right here behind the stone, you will never be found. The young man kissed her trembling lips. And why would I want to go farther from you than I must? So long as this is safe- But David, didn't you know that a French ship is cruising the coast to take on refugees? But oh, you won't go, will you? For a moment, the man's eyes narrowed, as if he were considering accepting this form of escape. Then he laughed in the brave gallant spirit that had won jean's heart. No, my dearest. As long as you are in Scotland, and as long as there are still a few bold swords to fight for Prince Charlie, I too will be here. 122 avr. ' - f ' -- -W' 4, .ff A -2 -c-- . - 'l , , Y ab. L A.. c A 459-- Jean's eyes filled with happy tears. She pushed him gently toward the opening, and he turned and climbed into the tunnel. On his knees, he reached out and pulled the stone to, shutting himself up in the cramp- ing musty passages that led off into chilly earth. jean blew out the candle, and, with an overflowing of love, fear, and hope in her heart, ran up to the main floor. She returned to her former post by the door. In perhaps half an hour, the pounding of many hoofs shook the road. The slender girl on the doorstep groaned, and bit her lip to stop its trembling. Soon she saw a company of twenty men approaching the house. By their crimson uniforms, she knew them for Southrons. She withdrew into the parlor, and sat by the cold fireplace. She was quiv- ering in every limb. I must stop this silliness. I must be brave. Dear God, help me to be brave! She heard the hoof beats grow louder, and scrape to a halt at the gate. She heard the heavy trampling of military boots upon the paving. She heard the door being opened by a servant, and her name mentioned. An oH'icer entered the room and bowed to her. Disdaining to arise to an enemy of the Pretender, she remained in her seat, just bending her head to his salutations. I have a warrant for the arrest of David McCulloch, captain in the army of the Pretender. Is he in this house? jean's whole character revolted against the lie, yet she managed to say calmly, No. And why do you break so rudely into a Scottish lady's home? We expected to find him here-of course, one always likes to be near one's sweetheart, especially when one is in danger everywhere else. jean flushed with anger. He isn't here, she repeated. And if he were, do you think I would betray him to you? Her dauntlessness irritated the Englishman. He turned and shouted the order to his men to bring all the servants to the parlor, so he could question them. Accordingly, the room was soon packed with the terri- fied Scottish retainers. One by one, the officer questioned those humble folk whom their mistress regarded almost as kinsmen. Somehow, Jean managed to sig- nal to each one that he should keep silent as far as possible. Knowing nothing of the secret tunnel, still less of the concealment of David McCulloch in it, they said nothing that could possibly endanger him. At last, the inquisition was given up, and the thing that jean feared most was begun. The soldiers commenced to search the house. With feelings that can easily be imagined, Jean found herself alone 123 ,L L V Q-E 73? A W T-, -... Y Y - Q,-T in the room again, and heard the tramping and scuffling of feet in the house-in the attic first, then in the first and second floors, then in the cellar. The girl fell to her knees by a chair, and buried her head in the cushion, with her hands convulsively pressed against her ears, to shut out those ominous sounds. She was half-distracted, as though in delirium, and murmured again and again, in a dreary monotone, My God, save David-save him, God-David, David, they mustn't find you! A cold horror struck her, as she remembered that possibly her lover had heard the entrance of the soldiers, and had fled faint-heartedly down the tunnel to the French ship. That would place him beyond all conceivable danger, yet it would wreck her life to have him gone from it. She condemned herself for desiring him to stay with her at such risk, but the selfish frailty of human nature made her cry in the depths of her soul. David, for the sake of heaven, do not leave me! And then she consoled herself with the memory that he had prom- ised to stay. And surely a promise made by David McCulloch would never be broken-he had never been known to break a promise. Be- sides, if he fled, it would be an act of cowardice-cowardice from the man who had faced unffinchingly a battery of armed death! Impossible. Reassured by that thought, she rose and went to the window. She gazed away to the strip of ocean beyond the beach. All day, she had seen the tip of a sail at the horizon, and a black speck like the end of a rowboat behind a clump of trees, near the edge of the water. These she saw no longer, and was alarmed, but again she calmed herself, this time by the observation that she could barely see the trees themselves so thick was the creeping fog. She was standing quietly in the middle of the room, when the sol- diers returned. They had not found McCulloch. The leader came close to jean, and said, gazing keenly at her face I have found no trace of McCulloch. Yet you have hidden him' of that I am certain. Where is he, Miss Campbell? I have not hidden him. If he is here, I know nothing of it. The lie surprised herg it came so glibly. It might perjure her soul, yet if it were to save a life- Again the officer asked with deadly quietness, Where have you hidden him? I tell you, I don't know where he is. I swear it. If I did know, of course I wouldn't tell you. So whether I know or not, you will get no information from me. The moment she said that, Jean realized what she had done-a dangerous thing. She had Hung down her gauntlet. v 9 1 124 The white heat of an exasperated temper flared out against her. The man picked up a burning candle, and held the flame to her palm. Now will you open your mouth, you obstinate fool? Writhing in pain, jean sobbed and shook her head, then broke away from him, and fell gasping into a chair. In a daze, she saw the soldiers file out of the room, and heard the receding hoof beats as they rode away. She lay still for a moment, unable to move, then the racking hurt of her blistered hand forced her to rise and pour water over it. The pain was horrible. Being a girl, she gave vent to a girl's tears, but all the time her heart was singing with joy that David was safe. When at last she knew that all the Englishmen were sufficiently distant from the estate, Jean took up the same candle she had been burned with, and descended to the cellar. It seemed that she could not go with half the speed her rejoicing spirit demanded. How David would thank and praise her! How they would exult together! In an ecstasy of excitement, she ran across the Hoor to the entrance of the passage. Forgetting her injured hand, she pushed frantically at the stone, calling her lover, meanwhile, by name. She heard no answer- ing voice, but of course no voice could penetrate the thick wall. With superhuman effort, she moved the heavy block, and looked into the tunnel-empty ! jean called again. David, they are gone. You can come out now. David, it is jean! David! No answer. She reached about in the dark with her hand: there was nothing there. Had they indeed found him, and taken him away secretly? Had they killed him, and left his body on the floor? She held her candle high and looked around, in cellar and tunnel. Nothing-nothing there. She realized what had happened. She sank down upon the ground, wailing, He is gone! He is a coward! I could never love him again! She lay there for a long hopeless hour, alone .... David McCulloch Hed first to France, then to America. He dared not return to Scotland, with a price on his head. And for many years there dwelt, in the old house on the Scottish coast, a frail woman- alone, always alone-with a scar on her hand and sorrow in her heart, until she died-alone.

' . al attendance, reporting public performances, turning in money for SCRIP and Scnppage, and helping advisors with making out report cards are a few of their duties. Each member of the Agora must put over the SCRIP and Scrip- page campaign in his group. He must obtain the subscriptions, take care of the subscription cards until it is time to turn them in, collect the money, and turn it in to the treasury in 130 during the eighth hour. In addition, the chairman has to see that each subscriber receives his copy of the paper every Friday morning. Every chairman whose group has subscribed over SOM, for Scrippage receives a free subscription. Agora members often have basketball, football, baseball, and movie tickets to sell. Announcements of various sorts are made in advisory groups by the chairmen. Such things as the circulars of the Patrons' Association are distributed by the members of the Agora. Re- cently the Agora members helped in the tax campaign. Most of the Agora members take the attendance in their groups. In taking the attendance they have to be especially careful because, if a person is not reported absent who should have been, ten points are taken from the Citizenship Quotient . Making out the C. Q. is one of the most important duties of the Agora. The C. Q. is rather complicated and consequently requires great care in figuring it out. The Agora always has a higher C. Q. than any other group, but this is to be expected since the Agora is made up of representative students of the school. The Agora is always willing to help in any school activity it can, and can always be relied upon to do its best. First Term Harold Welch ......

The Service Club A '1 HE Soldan Service Club, organized in 1924, functions under Q53 V,. the direction of Miss Rasmusson. It is almost impossible V' to realize fully the work these boys and girls undertake. They have charge of the lines in the lunch room, and it is their duty to see that no one enters a line out of turn. They aid in the distribution of books in the library. Some of them are in the oPF1ce every period to carry messages, to deliver and collect attendance lists, and to act as file clerks. Others give valuable assistance in the rest room and on the stairways. Every member of the club has some definite assigned duty but may often be called on for various extra things that help to make school life run a little more smoothly. Whenever a faculty member wants a task performed or an errand run, he asks for a Service Club member, know- ing it will be done well. The members consist of seniors and sevens who volunteer to give up a regular period of time for service work each day and who have a scholastic record that proves them able to use the time without a sacri- f-ice to their studies. To be eligible for appointment they must never have failed a subject: or they must have been exempt from all finals the preceding term: or they must have an average of eighty per cent in Soldan. The club has for its identification symbol an orange button with a brown S. S. C. Present OH-icers President .............,. ...,...............,.............. ............

It was organized in the first years of the school under various directors, but it disbanded each year until Miss Finn took her place as director in 1913. Since then it has flourished. Last term, the club gave an hour's program over radio station WIL and its program was enjoyed by everyone who heard it. They also played at the Coliseum for the Teachers' Convention and have played for school programs. At graduation the Orchestra is the outstanding organization, as it renders some very fine music at the commencement exercises. The Soldan Orchestra is known all over Saint Louis as the best high school orchestra. The club plays some very difiicult music such as William Tell Overture, by Rassinig Unfinished Symphony, by Schu- bertg The Prophet, by Meyerbeerg and Orpheus inder Unterwelt, by Offenbach. One of the important features of the Soldan Orchestra and one that accounts for much of its success is the well balanced instrumentation: violins, celli, viola, clarinets, flute, trombones, trumpets, saxophones, bass, piano, and drums. The orchestra has a total enrollment of sixty- four members. Each spring the Orchestra has a picnic where games and wieners are quite prominent. Alvin Dinkin, one of the best workers in the orchestra and an excel- lent violinist and viola player, won first place in a city wide audition at the Musicians' Club, Thursday, March twentieth. Alvin was in compe- tition with about thirty-live young musicians. The judges were Fred- erick Fisher and Mr. Goossens. By winning the contest, Alvin received a scholarship to a camp in Michigan where musical instruction is given in addition to physical education. The Orchestra congratulates its tal- ented member, Alvin Dinkin, on his success in the audition and on his solo appearance at our school concert, May ninth. We also hope to feature some of our senior members, namely Abe Rovak, Morris Madden, Lucile Hay, Archie McDaniel, and Harold Welch in ensemble. This, with the Honor Society program and Graduation exercises, com- pletes a year's work replete with interest. dll' ' f -1 VT A C2157 First Term Ofiicers Second Term Waldo Smith .......... ......

If you are interested in music and auf! are willing to learn to play, just see Mr. Olson, the sponsor. joe looked around bewildered. Where was the voice? Suddenly he discerned a queer Creature in the shape of a baton, a slender little fellow with no features except a mouth. If you'll listen, I'll tell you what the Band has done during last term and this term. Joe agreed and the creature began: Last term, the Band played at all the football games. The team won the championship and went to Little Rock, Arkansas, for the Thanksgiving Day game. The Patrons' Association sent fifty members of the Band to Little Rock. The boys enjoyed the trip and appreciated it so greatly that, to show their appre- ciation, they gave a concert for the Patrons' Association. The boys had a very successful season in amount of work done. The student leaders are a great help to Mr. Olson because they often take charge at public performances. This season the Band has played at basketball games, pep sessions , and in the lunch auds . The club has a new band room in the northwest corner of the basement. According to the boys, Mr. Harley E. Olson, the sponsor, is the best sponsor in school. He takes just as much interest in the Band as the boys. Mr. Olson or Boss , as the boys know him, plays in the Alhambra Grotto Band. He plays the saxophone, flute, and piccolo. joe looked up and watched the baton as it faded away. He thought he had been dreaming, but he had not, for the Band was still playing. Need it be stated that joe joined the Band? E . , , h e play some instrument so that I could join the Band. Na - H i i 1 h J First Term Officers Second Term Harold Welch ........ .... .........

IT-PAT, pit-pat -may be heard interrupting soft strains of music every Wednesday after school. The pit-pat is ' the noise of the boys who are practicing for track in the Q third floor corridor, and the soft strains of music come ' fi from room 300 where the Chaminade girls, even with such after-school distractions, manage to practice their songs well enough to enable them to win prizes and medals. Yes, we have been extremely busy this last year. We entertained a large group of teachers at the State Teachers' Convention. We sang at a program given at Baldwin Music Hall one dark and stormy night last December. In spite of the wind and the rain, about twenty girls gave a delightful program. Several girls took the part of Christmas carolers in a Christmas play. Members of the Chaminade sang at the Statler Hotel, netting a nice sum for the Children's Aid Society in the Christmas Carol Association. Then, too, the Chaminade and Glee Club, on the last day of school before Christmas vacation, caroled in the Sol- dan halls singing the old Christmas songs. But this is just a small part of the work we do. Don't pity us and talk about how hard the Chaminade girls are worked. just remember that as we work we enjoy ourselves, for our able and efficient sponsor, Miss Finn, mixes business and pleasure successfully. Last term we had a get-together for new members. Cecile Fuld and Muriel jones entertained us with vocal and piano solos. A sister of one of our members gave us several delightful vocal selections also. Then we adjourned to the lunch room to enjoy the eats . The club has, as its special song, a piece called My Creed . Doubt- less many of you have heard it. It has not only a beautiful and simple tune but inspiring words as well. With the study of a number of attractive new songs this term, we are looking forward to a successful concert which we will give in May. This term the club resumed activity with renewed enthusiasm and many plans. Among them was a Chaminade dance which was given on March 20. It was one of the most successful dances in several years. We admitted to the club thirty-two new members and now our mem- bership totals eighty-eight-all hard working and cheerful girls. First Term Officers Second Term Anna Ray Fitch ....... .........

The club is under the sponsorship of Miss McGrew. Flor- T ence Schechter, our accompanist, has done much for the betterment of the club, and we are exceedingly grateful to her for giving up one afternoon a week to play for us. In the four try-outs held at the opening of the term, thirty-seven new members were admitted into the club, bringing the total enrollment to fifty-six. Last term we had forty-eight. A pleasant surprise was in store for us this term in the reduction of the dues from fifty cents a term to twenty-five cents, with an initiation fee of twenty-five cents. The club meets every Tuesday afternoon in room 130. The purpose of the junior Chaminade is to train the voices of the girls, especially those of the altos and second sopranos, in singing three part songs. When they become fifth termers, the girls are tried out for admittance into the Chaminade. Fourteen graduated into the Chami- nade in September and twenty in January. We are sorry to lose these earnest workers, but we rejoice in their promotion and wish them all luck. The club has had one public performance to its credit, having enter- tained the Mothers' Club with Christmas Carols just before Christmas. Many of the members were also among the chorus which sang for the Teachers' Convention at the Coliseum in November. A very delightful dance was given on December twentieth.

Here, on CB 4 Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings at eight o'clock, 'xg W V one hears music representing refinement of tone, enthusiasm, Q ' and correct interpretation of musical settings with relation Q' .2 to texts. Seventy-f-ive boys meet regularly and study the best musical literature under the most capable leadership of Mr. Wil- liam john Hall, and the Glee Club masters the art of artistic shading from the daintiest pianissimo to the big deep tone of an organ. The Glee Club has for several years stood at the top of all similar organizations, and is a great favorite with the musical public. The en- thusiasm of their singing is contagious, lifting up their hearers to a spirit of joy and pleasure. The a capella work of this organization has also been most heartily commended. The balance of tone work throughout the entire club has been worked out scientifically by Mr. Hall. The club is always invited to participate in athletic meetings, Par- ent-Teachers' meetings, and State Teachers' Association Conventions, and also in concerts with the Symphony Orchestra. There is a selected group called the Troubadours, representing the most experienced singers. They receive many invitations to sing at special concerts. The club has sung this season at the Yale Bowl presentation: the Senior Stunt Day programg with the Symphony Orchestra at the Arena: and is planning several appearances later in the season. The Glee Club also gave a very successful dance, one of its semi-annual affairs. First Term Olilicers Second Term William Bray ................... ....... P resident .............. .........

The club is composed of twenty-two ' boys who have good but for the most part, untrained voices. , -l V The club offers an opportunity to train voices for the Soldan Glee Club. Many of the boys have been in the Blewett Glee Club and T108 ! two of the boys did solo work there. Shortly after organizing, the boys entertained the Patrons' Asso- ciation at their meeting March 20. Although the club membership is comparatively small, the voices have good volume. The boys are will- ing and ready to participate in any program where they are needed. The club is most grateful to jean Eden, the accompanist, for her willing help. The ofiicers for this term are: Burton Kemp, presidentg Hyman Faire, vice-presidentg Robert Kennedy, secretaryg Edward j. Keller, treasurerg Harold Biggs, librariang and Dick Eastham, assistant librarian. The Music Appreciation Club A HE Music Appreciation Club was organized this term under f '- 4 the leadership of Miss Cameron with the following officers: George Harrison, president: Margaret Allan, vice-president, james Chartrand, secretaryg Eunice Koeppe, treasurerg Rus- s sell Strand, program chairman. The purpose of this club is to give the members an opportunity to develop assurance and apprecia- tion through participationj in musical programs. The inability of a student to render adequately the compositions of the great masters need not prevent his appreciation of such music. At the bi-monthly meetings the life and work of a composer will be briefly reviewed and several of his compositions rendered. The mastering of the technique of this or that musical instrument is not the sum total of musical education-if musicians were to be measured only by the compositions they can play, very few would have a clear title to the name-it is above and beyond that, the acquired faculty to understand and appreciate music played by others. As the companionship of good works of visible art cultivates the appreciation and refines the tasteg as the companionship of good books elevates and refines the mindg so the rendition of good music awakens the soul to its beauties and broadens and deepens the sympathetic under- standing of its meaning. .1 ' V K 5' fr:-' ES' ,A,mg,jj 150 JUNIOR BOYS' 61.1515 CLUB MUSIC ,4PPKlfC1.47'ION CLUB GUILD DRAM,-I TIC The Dramatic Guild MWA?

An added fea- ture was The Ambitious Guest which was presented for the School Exhibit, and at special request for a short entertainment for a meeting of the Mother's Club. Many interesting and new plans have been made by the Guild and Miss Lucas, the sponsor. Miss Lucas was a former student in The School of the Chicago Art Theater, under the direction of Mr. Ivan Lazareff Cof the Moscow Art Theatrej. Among these new plans is one in particular, the giving of a night performance of a full length play. After long consideration, Nancy Ann , a comedy in three acts by Dorothy Heyward was chosen for this performance. Nancy Ann was the Harvard Prize Play in 1924 and was produced in New York, starring the clever young actress, Francine Larrimore. This play as far as we know has never before been given B in St. Louis by either professionals or amateurs.

If our opponents feel that installment buying is so i destructive to society, let them submit a better plan. , 1 Applause followed, which was only natural. But we must admit that it is encouraging to receive applause after so much effort has been expended. The majority of the programs presented at the Rostrum meetings consists of debates, but very often talks are given or extemporaneous debates are held. The purpose of these programs and the purpose of the Rostrum is to teach the members to speak fluently and forcefully, and to express their thoughts clearly. Under the sponsorship of Mr. Mathie, this has been a most success- ful year for the Rostrum. All the members of this year's debating team are also members of the Rostrum, a fact which shows that their training in the club has aided them in securing places on the team representing Soldan. This has also been a successful year for the Rostrum in the matter of membership. A Fine growth in interest in forensic activities at Soldan has resulted in a record enrollment of thirty-five boys in the club, and many more are anxious to join. A number of very fine debates were held this year, notably, the ones with the Athenaeum and with the teams from Webster High School. Almost every member of the Rostrum participated in at least one of the verbal encounters and all have profited from them.

The teams immediately began to read on the question that had been chosen for debate, Resolved: That present conditions justify the recognition of Soviet Russia by the United States. After studying every angle of the question, the boys began work on their constructive speeches and, with the help of Coach Mathie, Mr. Butcher, and Mr. Gummersheimer, drilled on rebuttal and speaking technique. On March 28, the affirmative team met Cleveland at Soldan: and the negative team met Central at Yeatman. The affirmative team won a 2-1 decision and the negative a unanimous decision. At the same time Roosevelt won both of their debates unanimously. This gave Roosevelt the Princeton Cup, the score being 6-5 although Soldan had won two debates the same as Roosevelt. ful l S ' land, but lost the Princeton Cup by one point. Tryouts for In 4 u 15 . ' . t l Y S - me The Athenaeum HE Athenaeum is a girls' debating club, organized for the purpose of developing initiative and the power of quick ig ' aj thinking. All girls who are in or beyond their third school by term and who have a G average in English are eligible a 3- for membership. The meetings are held every Wednesday after school. After a subject has been debated, a general discussion follows, ex- tending to all the members an equal opportunity for expressing their opinions. On April 23, the Athenaeum held an inter-club debate with the Ros- trum on the subject, Resolved, that the Jury System Should Be Abol- ished in the United States. The boys upheld the alhrmative While the girls upheld the negative. The success of the club is due to the work of Miss Mott, the sponsor.

At the present time the subject of the regular programs is the his- tory of the drama from the festivals in ancient Greece through the out- standing plays of modern times. These programs have included reviews of some of the American, English, and Continental dramas. Without forgetting the serious aim of the club, the members man- age to have several social functions during each term. Of these, the Mothers' Tea and the New jay Party are usually the most enjoyable. The influence of the Round Table is felt in all Soldan and has even reached England through the correspondence of the members with girls of that country. A successful applicant for membership must be in terms from three to seven, must have had a G average in English for the preceding term, and must have attended three meetings and a social. Much of the success of the Round Table may be attributed to Miss George, the sponsor, and to the several officers. First Term Officers Second Term Gertrude Landesman ..................

A committee of students desiring a club of this sort peti- tioned Miss Waney to sponsor the organization and were very much delighted with her kind acceptance. Since then, the club has grown both in size and activity. These programs deal with the prominent writers of Rome such as Virgil, Cicero, and Cato. The public buildings, roads, games, and wor- ship of the Romans are also subjects of very interesting talks. The pin excites quite a bit of curiosity because it is so different from the usual club emblem. It is a gold fasces, which was a symbol of power to the ancient Romans.

The club is now in its second term and, under the direction 5 of Miss Harris, has flourished. get Many of the members subscribed to Le Petit Journal , a French bi-weekly, and have established correspondence with boys and girls of France who are students of English. During the past term, the Fleur de Lis held several joint meetings with the French Club of Beaumont High School. At one of these ses- sions, Professor Donay, instructor of French at Washington University, spoke in French to the combined clubs on the French people and French customs. The members of the Fleur de Lis take this opportunity to express their gratitude to the oflicers for their splendid work in organizing and launching the club.

The glider was given a test Flight by Mr. Mitch- 'kg of the Detroit Aviation Company. Later the members of if the club started taking hops . Here is where much diffi- culty and many crack-ups were experienced. The ship was repaired again and again. Each of the members is trying to qualify for a third class glider pilots' license. The club has been taking an active part in the forming of the St. Louis Glider and Model Association. This is a city-wide organization in which students and members of high school aero clubs are members. The association meets every second Thursday at the Curtiss-Wright Hying service ollices. They are to have a club room at the newly com- pleted Curtiss-Steinberg airport. Mr. Hussey is the new sponsor of the club. The ollicers of the club are: Darwin Siegel, president: Elliot Couden, secretary: Gardner Dodd, treasurer, '29g Cedric Evans, treasurer, '303 and Ralph Allen, sergeant-at-arms. 167 Chemistry Club , HIS year the Soldan Chemical Society is celebrating its fif- 'frgi g teenth anniversary. The club was formed on May 1, 1915, when a petition signed by Mr. Buchanon, Mr. Kruh, Mr. Teeters, and sixty students, was sent to Mr. Powell, request- it . --.s ing a charter for the organization of the Soldan Chemistry Club. Under the leadership of these men the club advanced rapidly. In 1925 Miss Voit accepted the sponsorship. She was succeeded by Mr. Weisert in September, 1928. However, Miss Voit again became sponsor when Mr. Weisert left Soldan last September. The highest aim of the club is to promote interest in chemistry and allied sciences, and to show the importance of science in our everyday life. To further this idea, the club has talks and demonstrations by both members and outsiders. We have the use of the moving picture machine and show many interesting and instructive pictures, such as Liquid Air , Bituminous Coal , and Pillars of Salt . We also visit several manufacturing plants and factories, such as the St. Louis Ice Cream Co., Pevely Dairy, and Scullin Steel Works. Each year many of the Chemistry Club members turn in essays for the National Chemical Essay Contest. Usually, we have been very fortunate in having at least one state Winner. Last year was our banner year. Douglas Martin succeeded in winning the national prize, which entitled him to a complete college course free of charge. He selected the Rolla School of Mines and is now attending that institution. Samuel Schultz and Alexander Langsdorf won the state contests, which entitled them to twenty dollars in gold. The returns for this year's contests have not been released, but we hope to be even more successful than last year. However, we do not spend all of our time with chemistry, but enjoy many dances, picnics, and feeds , First Term Officers Second Term William Livingston ........ ........

In their study of photogra- phy and its allied subjects, they study chemistry, physics, art, mechanics, and many of the leading sciences of the world. Each month a photo contest is held of which Mr. Lyon is the judge. At the following meeting Mr. Lyon shows the pictures on the screen and discusses each, pointing out the good and bad points and making suggestions as to ways of improving them. Members have made photo- graphs and lantern slides for SCRIP and Scrippage. Although most of the members own equipment of their own, the club also has the use of the well equipped dark-room of the Physics Department.

HE Pickering Club, Soldan's well-known astronomical or- ganization, under the sponsorship of Mr. Alfred Davis, is .' x y 'Y enjoying one of the best terms of its existence. The club, A at present, is chiefly interested in two subjects of prime astronomical importance, namely the Einstein Theory of Relativity and the discovery of a ninth major planet beyond the orbit of Neptune. This planet is reported to be of the fifteenth magnitude and is too faint to be observed with the club's four and one-half inch refracting telescope. The members of the Pickering Club use their telescope to advan- tage. At frequent intervals the club gives what are called star trips . On these trips, the members scan the skies and become familiar with the various stars and constellations. The Pickering Club is a member of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific and a life member of the American Association of Variable Star Observers , and receives all of the latest literature put out by these important world organizations. The club owns a reference library in which information in regard to astronomical subjects may be found. v Y , . lsr We Ebfin 717 A 4 First Term Officers Second Term Kenneth Bennett ....... ..........

These laws I will strive to follow. Their watchword is Wohelo, a word made from the first two letters of the words, work, health and love. They furnish a program for living. There are three ranks of the Camp Fire Girls. They are Wood- gatherer, Fire Maker, and Torch Bearer. When a girl has won these ranks, she is considered an ideal. Three years ago the Camp Fire group of Soldan was organized. During these years many Soldan girls have enjoyed camping trips, hikes, and other projects of the group. This year the members have been making beautiful scarfs of batik and tie and dye. Leather tooling and painting have been a part of the program. The success of the club is largely due to Miss Raebel, the sponsor.

No, you don't have to be an artist. my We members of the Art Club are learning how to appre- ,. .. ciate art by attending the special lectures given at the City Q Art Museum by Miss Powell, and by asking our sponsor, Miss Hazeltine, many and varied questions. Our club meets on Thursdayg alternate weeks we leave room 323 to take trips to the Art Museum. Last term we visited the Art Bazaar at Washington University. The work of many of the art students was exhibited on the first Hoor, and by special permission we were allowed to visit the second Hoor where many of the students were at work. Washington University has an art course for young students on Satur- day mornings. Some of our members decided to take advantage of this art study. Any person missing four meetings in succession is dropped from the club list. Either boys or girls may join and it is not necessary to study-art or to know how to draw. The only club requirements are to pay the dues ffifty cents per termj and to be an active and interested member. We certainly are proud of our pins. You've seen them, I am sure: a little gold palette inscribed with the letters A. A. C. and attached by a chain to a tiny golden S . To receive a pin, new members must come ten meetings in succession and old members Five meetings. We have about twenty-nine members at present and also a small waiting list. At the end of the term we are planning to have a grand picnic. Now, after reading this, I am sure you are eager to join, but since we have a full membership, you will have to wait until next term to appreciate art with the Art Appreciation Club.

It has been suggested that we have a program based on club activi- ties, such as a talk by a member of a science club or a musical selection by a member of one of the glee clubs. Are there any suggestions? Sammy Meyers jumped up and firmly declared, I think that idea is punk! Well, if that idea is so terrible, why don't you think of some plan for a program? a Susie asked saucily. Since no other plans were suggested, the executive committee de- cided that the programs at the regular meetings during the spring term would be based on club activities. During the fall term, the Triple S's gave a reception in the gym for all new students from schools outside of St. Louis. The O com- mittee, under the leadership of May Holmes, welcomed many new stu- dents during the entire term. This term the club meets on Monday, alternating with the Classical Club, and there are dues of fifty cents per term. The Triple S's spon- sored a reception in the lunchrooms for all new students at the begin- ning of the term. Eleven Sammies and Susies assisted in the eighty-five cents tax campaign.

He wanted to join the Philatelic Society, but he d1dn't know what it was. He went ' to ask Sam Myers, president of the club. Say, Sam, how A do you pronounce the name of that club Miss Levy spon- sors? What does it mean? Sam, with all his friendly beneficence, put his arm over the new jay's shoulder. My lad, he said, the word philatelic is an adjective coming from the word philately, which is derived from the Greek philos and ateleia meaning, oh, exempt from tax. Philately traces its begin- ning back quite a few yearsg in fact, from the first postage stamp. The persons interested in philately are called philatelists. Quite simple. Do you understand? The new jay was too overwhelmed to say no, and, in despair', he answered, Yes, certainly. A few days later this same new jay again summoned up his courage, this time approaching Arvel Franz, vice-president of the club, with the same question. Arvel, realizing his opportunity to demonstrate his knowledge of philately, commenced, The word philatelic is derived from the Greek w-- The new jay dashed away. A queer bird, that, thought Arvel as he walked on. A week later the same new jay accosted the worthy secretary, who answered, Why of course I'll tell you. QWhen did George Brightman ever refuse to answer a poor, homeless, little new jay?j The new jay was very suspicious: rightfully so after his two previous attempts to garner information from other officers of the club. He lost his courage and fled. A most peculiar specimen, reflected George. One month and three days later in a final desperate attempt, the new jay accosted Margaret Watkins, treasurer of the club, and de- manded, What is the Philatelic Society ? Oh, you mean the Stamp Club, said Margaret. Why, why, it's the Stamp Club, of course. Thanks, said the new jay. No longer a new jay but a two and a member of the Philatelic Society, our hero was confronted by a new jay who demanded to know, What is the Philatelic Society? The two saw his opportunity. Revenge!

However, in a post- season game at Little Rock, Arkansas, Soldan tasted defeat at the hands of the champions of that city by a score of 26-6. This year's championship gave Soldan its fourth leg on the Yale Bowl, and now, the Gold and Brown, ahead of her rivals, needs but one leg to acquire permanent possession of the trophy. Our previous pennants were won in 1919, 1921, and 1925. No award of the Yale Bowl is made in the case of a tie for the championship. In addition to capturing the Yale Bowl, Soldan clinched the Hellmich trophy, em- blematic of all-round athletic supremacy. In its four pre-league games, the Gold and Brown not only dis- played a powerful ground and aerial attack, but showed a stone wall defense in keeping its goal line uncrossed, to humble McBride, Granite City, St. Louis U. High, and Principia. Although held to a score of 9-6 for three quarters by an unexpect- edly strong Central eleven in the first league game, Soldan hit its stride in the last period to score nineteen points and swamp the Red and Black, 28-6. The Gold and Brown avenged the defeat of the year before by downing Roosevelt, 6-0, in a very hard-fought game. The lone score came in the second quarter when Vance Wright blocked a punt and Vainiko, recovering it, raced across the Rough Riders' goal line. Spurred on by this important victory, Soldan continued its march to the championship by crushing Beaumont, 13-0. Our next victim was C. B. C., which was overwhelmed, 33-0, in a non-league game. Rounding out its schedule in a blaze of glory, Soldan staged an inspired and thrilling rally to nose out a Fighting Cleveland eleven, 14-12, for the championship. The Gold and Brown, held scoreless in the Hrst half, was swept off its feet by a brilliant aerial attack which netted two touchdowns in the first few minutes of play. Fortunately, the attempts for extra points were unsuccessful. A rejuvenated Soldan eleven came back on the field in the second half to score fourteen points and victory. This championship team, Coach Cook's latest achievement, serves as a reminder of the gratitude and praise Mr. Cook deserves for what he has done in developing clean, hard-fighting Soldan athletes. The boys on the team, putting more of their ability into the game than per- haps any previous Soldan team, merit commendation for doing their lr MNA. . . 1 25 tory by capturing its second straight championship.

Co-Cap- tain Dave Cook, quarterback, by his spectacular end-running and fine generalship, climaxed his career as one of the greatest players Soldan has ever had and one of the outstanding Stars of the High School League. Jones, playing a fast, heady game at half, proved capable in handling punts, while Fullback Robinowitz was very valuable for his ability as a blocker and his steady defensive work. Hartnett and Coe also showed up well. In the line, Minkey, Butts, and Hall were the ends, starring in stopping the safety man and breaking up trick plays. Minkey, for his outstanding play, was awarded a position on the All- Star team. Hall, with Vainiko, is the co-captain for 1930. Co-Captain Becker and Vainiko, two All-Star tackles all season, furnished the backs valuable interference, while Bray, Schneider, and Hoffman, the guards, were towers of strength on defense. Vance Wright was rewarded for his fighting spirit and his ability to diagnose the enemy's attack with a place at center on the All-Star team. Handley, Beeler, Siesennop, and Hicks, backs: and Link and Cooper, linemen, gave a splendid ac- count of themselves when they were in the game, and successfully took up, where the regulars left off, the task of capturing the fourth Gold and Brown football championship. The Soldan Gym Club HE Gym Club was begun in 1913 by Doctor Koenig. In 'Qggg 1917, when Doc went over to Blewett to organize their gym classes, the club was taken over by Mr. Fager. On his return to Soldan in 1924, Doc again became the sponsor and has remained so up to the present time, with the excep- tion of the fall term of 1925, when he was in Europe studying medicine. Through his efforts and coaching, the club has grown into an organi- zation of forty members whose activities include weekly practice periods in the big gym, lunch aud programs, and many programs given at the request of the Patrons' Association, Mothers' Club, and other outside groups. It can truthfully be said that the Gym Club's lunch aud programs receive more interest and are more appreciated than most other Maud programs. The membership has recently become so large that, in order to keep down the size, entrance elimination contests have been instituted. Thus the club is enabled to pick the best of material. The applicant is put through a series of work-outs on the horse, parallel bars, and the hori- zontal bar. If he successfully passes these tests, he is placed in one of three groups, according to his ability.

Franklin Copanas Tennis Mwmng HE competition among the high schools in other sports is rather close, but in tennis Soldan unquestionably reigns ,ly I su reme, as roved b its brilliant record. In thirteen years ,Q P P Y ' h of competition, Coach Plag's teams have won nine cham- pionships and finished in second place the other four years, an extraordinary achievement and a real tribute to the line coaching of Mr. Plag. Soldan championships cover the years '14, '18, '19, '21, '22, '24, '25, '27, '29. One reason for this success is the yearly spring tour- nament at Soldan, from which Coach Plag gets his material for the team in the fall. In 1929, Soldan's net team surpassed all previous achievements and Won the greatest victory ever recorded in St. Louis interscholastic high school tennis by taking sixteen straight matches without a single defeat. This truly remarkable record was due to the superb playing of Ben Brouster, first mang Elliot Levin, second man: Fred Sacks, third man and captain: and Gidlowitz and Zonnis, the doubles team. They were each interscholastic champions by virtue of their clean sweep of the matches played. However, because I-larry Mendelson's eligibility was questioned, the match he had won against Central was forfeited. The standings of the high school teams at the end of the season were as follows: Won Lost Pct. Won Lost Pct.

When the season opened, things looked pretty dark for Coach White's cage squad. Captain Dave Cook was the only regular left over from the previous season. Ben Reese, big guard, found it nec- essary to stay at Soldan for extra credits, and Coach White was faced with the task of building a team around these two men. The members of the squad were Barney Passer, Keith Walker, Bob Mautz, and Harry Mendelson, forwardsg Dave Cook, Tom Cass, and Howard Butts, cen- ters: and Red Jones, Ben Reese, Bob Lahey, and Frank Swann, guards. The team played their first practice game, and showed little prom- ise. As the season progressed, however, the team followed winning ways, and managed to keep out in front of the other teams in the race for the championship of the Public High School League. Emerging from the first round of the championship race with a clean slate, the Gold and Brown cagers confidently started the second round. Meeting their first league defeat at the hands of Cleveland by two points, the Soldan quintet came back the next week to defeat Beaumont and win the championship. The record of the 1930 championship team of Soldan in the Public High School League was seven victories and one defeat. In the district tournament, the White men won everything decis- ively, until they came against their old rivals in the final round of the tournament. Hardly playing up to form, the Gold and Brown cagers were again beaten by Cleveland, and were forced to be content with the runner-up position in the tournament. Sent to the state tournament at Columbia, Missouri, to bring honor back to St. Louis, the Soldan quintet hurled themselves into the fray whole-heartedly. In the first game they defeated the very powerful Easton team. Winning the second game by a safe margin, they ad- vanced to the semi-finals to play East High of Kansas City. Leading until the final fifteen seconds, the Gold and Brown cagers tasted defeat when the opposing center tipped one in from far out on the foul line. Coming back in the final game, Soldan routed Windsor with the largest score piled up in the tourney, and won third place in the state tourna- ment. The wonderful record established by the 1930 cage team was twenty victories and four defeats, including the tournaments. Out of four games lost, three were lost by either one or two points. Soldan scored 538 points against her opponents' 340. 199 I L Q - 'VI LJ CJ , V1 . N! , : FU Pi r I i T A ' af Q4 Baseball Q.,-' F ,, AST season Soldan finished a close second in the baseball l!'l-ff! race, and the team's showing so far this season points to 2 another successful year. 'V K When Coach White issued the call for baseball candidates . at the beginning of the season, over a hundred aspirants turned out. Although Captain Siesennop, shortstop, Lahey, pitcher, and Walker, catcher, were the only letter men back, several of the boys had had experience as members of the Goldman juniors team, which won the American Legion junior Championship of Missouri last year. Among these were Handley, Passer, Butts, and Mass. The others who made a good showing were jones, who played on last year's team, Machens, Gardiner, Patton, McGreevy, Williams, H. Richter, and R. Richter. In the first game of the season, Soldan tied University City High, 1-1, in a seven inning practice game. Our lone score came in the fourth inning when Machens singled and was forced by jones, who tallied on Butts' triple. The next day the Gold and Brown's second team batted out a 4-1 verdict over Beaumont's second team. In the next practice game, the Gold and Brown defeated East St. Louis High in a ten inning battle, 5-4. Soldan rallied in the late innings to tie the score, and took the victory in the extra inning when McGreevy doubled and scored on Williams' single. Soldan won its first league game by defeating Central, 7-3. Lahey and Patton allowed only four hits, while their team-mates garnered seven off the Central hurler. Soldan scored one run in the First inning, three in the second on two singles, a walk, and three errors: and two in the third frame on three singles. The final tally came in the eighth on a home run by McGreevy. However, the Gold and Brown bowed in defeat to its old enemy, Roosevelt, in its second league game by a score of 12-8. Both teams were very poor in the field, committing fourteen errors, Soldan contrib- uting nine. After trailing, 7-1, Soldan rallied in the fourth and fifth innings to tie the score, but Roosevelt again forged ahead and kept its lead. Nevertheless, even after this defeat, Soldan is still very much in the race for the championship, being tied for third place, and we are pulling for the Gold and Brown to come back and battle either Roosevelt, Beau- mont, or Cleveland for the championship in the final elimination game on May 31. 191 .ft --O6 TRACK SQUAD ..', , - - ' jg , 27 fi:-f-13112 -149+ ? JX - if Y. Track 'Z U EAST year Soldan had a highly successful track season. Sol- Ni! fi'i'uii dan captured first place in the Mississippi Valley and St. Z A Louis District Meets, and placed second in the Interscholas- Y L tic Track and Field Meet. In the latter, Soldan captured the 5 senior division, but Roosevelt was exceptionally strong in the other two divisions, thereby winning the meet with a total of 1112 points. Soldan was next with 712 points, Beaumont third with 542 pointsg and Cleveland fourth with 47 points. In the Mississippi Valley Meet, Soldan was forced to light hard all the way, finally emerging victorious by defeating the Webster relay team. In the District Meet, the juniors won first place in their division. The seniors, though not as successful, earned second place, enough to give Soldan victory. In the Interscholastic Meet, Soldan broke two records, both in the senior division. Cook broke the shot put record, held by Lacey, also of Soldan, with a put of 47 feet: Sommers broke the pole vault record with a leap of 11 feet 4 inches. With these two new records the Gold and Brown track team has ten standing interscholastic records to its credit, while its nearest rivals, Central, Cleveland, and Roosevelt, each have four. Hellmich proved himself the best sprinter in the city by winning the 100 and 220-yard dashes. Captain Lewis, who had distinguished himself in the other meets, won second in the mile and 880-yard run. Other seniors who distinguished themselves were Bray, Strand, Librach, and Herskowitz. This year Coach Plag, building around Captain Cook, Herskowitz, and Librach, the three senior letter men, has built a squad which is surpassing the fine achievements of last year's team. Soldan started the 1930 season off on the right leg by winning second in the first Annual State Indoor Meet held at Columbia, Missouri. In this meet Cook again came to the fore by winning the shot put and high jump. Herskowitz, veteran letter man, distinguished himself by winning the broad jump and taking second in the 60-yard dash. These two, along with Librach and Moore, earned second in the relay. This meet indicates the power of the Soldan senior team, which is sure to improve under the expert coaching of Mr. Plag. On April 12, Soldan had its First outdoor 1930 track meet, against East St. Louis at East St. Louis. The Soldan team was victorious by a huge margin. Those that showed up well in the junior division were Barry, White, and Wilson. The senior relay team -- Herskowitz, Librach, Cook, and Moore-won easily. Although at the present writing there has been no midget meet, the 193 Q .S r f' 'ii'-: V ' ' -..-A- my-pl - - ,-,TR ' prospects are bright. Among these are Hill, Dykter, and Stern. In general the Soldan prospects look bright for victory in the Inter- scholastic Meet. the girls in the G. A. A. is perhaps a little harder to attain 1' than the S , because, to apply for it, a girl rnust excel not ' only in athletics but also in scholarship and sportsmanship. . The awarding of this letter, like that of the Soldan S , is based upon the accumulation of points. The points a girl must obtain for the letter are 1000 in number, given for the following activities. The First requirement is an eighty per cent average for two years. Also a girl must be considered a good sport, must have excelled in gym work, and must have passed a rigid physical examination. For the above, 400 points are given. These are absolutely necessary before application. The other 600 points may be obtained in several ways, the choice being left to the applicant. A total of 100 points is given for each of the following: for hiking 100 miles in 10 mile stretches, for swimming 100 yards, for being a junior or senior life saver, for learning four folk dances, for having attained rings or other honors in the Girl Reserves or in the Girl Scouts, for being a leading member in school activities such as the Glee Club, Orchestra, or Band, and for coaching athletic teams without pay. When a girl has made her 1000 points in the above manner, she has really earned her letter. Estelle Demeke, Laura M.

Before Christmas, a party was held where the girls played games in the gym, and later had refreshments in the lunch room. At this time Mr. Stellwagen awarded S's and M's to the girls who had earned the required number of points. In January, girls chosen from the sevens' and eights' volley ball teams played an exhibition game at Washington University. This was at a regular meeting of the Womenis Physical Education Club of St. Louis, when several other city and county high schools showed differ- ent types of school work. At the close of the volley ball season, members of the third and fourth term teams were guests of the Christ Church Cathedral Girls' Club. After having dinner with the members of the Girls' Club, the teams played a volley ball game for the girls. It is through the G. A. A. that all Soldan girls' athletics are car- ried on.

Back to school again today after the long holiday. Not too long though. It was funny to see the ratty looking ties the fellows are wearing, but I know how it is. I guess we all have these old-fashioned grandmothers who insist on descending on the family at Christmas with a little something wrapped up for each of us. Just my luck to get one of those knitted ties! I wonder if every kid hates them as much as I do? Gee! All the girls must have gotten perfume. Why do they insist on using it at school? It wouldn't be so bad if they would get some system in the matter. All the Lily of the Valley be used on Monday, violet on Tuesday, rose on Wed- nesday, etcg but they don't try to be sensible. All together they make an impossible mixture, and my poor nose! Such is life! .fl TTT Jig We x y LC cf' lx ww 'MAL Q gc W rm- N January 17, 1930 Friday Hello Diary! Yes- I got my program card today and what teachers! just my luck to get all the hard ones. I hate to think what my report card will be like this term. But there's one consolation. It can't be any worse than it was last time! Golly-you should see the dumb bunch of New Jays we've got. They seem to be playing some kind of game trying to see which one can ask the most foolish ques- tions in a day. One of them came up to me and asked where the third floor was. I told him to go straight down the last stairway until he found it. Hope he was late to class! School all day Monday-no more fifteen minute periods, so I suppose this is the last week-end without homework for a while. Oh well- 200 ff?-'N THE 'mm Q FLOOAI, ,, My ,.?P7'lfffS, ,. mllIl W!'!!!' j lu A li il!!! 5 . ,, - as A january 29. 1930 Wednesday Diary- There's somethin' on my mind tonight and it's bothering me a lot. In fact it's been on my mind all day long. It's this- How can these fellows treat girls the way they do? You'd think a girl was the best thing on earth the way they act. They walk the halls from morning till night carrying their books for them. You'd think all the girls in this place had broken arms or something, And what gets me is to see a great big husky stoop down to pick up a lace handkerchief, about an inch square, for one of them. Of course, our motto is Truth, Honor, Freedom, Courtesy, but I haven't seen a girl yet that I'd bother my head about to be so very courteous top at least enough to pick up one of those dinky things. And another thing. They insist on spilling those silly compacts everytime a guy turns around. Gee-I'm glad I haven't got a silly girl! February 3, 1930 Monday Hi-there Diary! Well, here we are in the month of great men. My Dad was born in February too. What do you suppose happened today? I joined the Sammies and Susies. It's a peachy club. There's a swell girl who belongs too. She's got red hair and the swellest eyes but she's a Senior, so I guess she won't be able to look at a guy like me. I've been whistling I'd Like To Be a Senior all afternoon. It's a good song only I never thought much of it until now! Had to give a speech today. It was on the Habits of Mankind. It was pretty good, at least I thought so until they laughed when I started to talk about chewing gum. I thought it would make a hit with the teacher but I guess it didn't because when I got through she told me to take the chewing gum out of my mouth!

I sent the red- head a box of candy. Afterwards I saw her in the hall. She was walking with the captain of the football team and what do you think she did? She left him Hat and came over to me and thanked me for the candy. Boy, did I see double? I guess I blushed like nobody's business, but I just couldn't help it. Then I walked to her next class with her. She let me carry her books and I dropped them like a sap but I got them all picked up before she got mad. I was late to my class but it was worth it. I guess there's a little hope for me. School isn't such a bad place after all --is it? February 21, 1930 Friday Howdy Diary: I just thought of the rottenest thing in the world. George Washington has to go and have his birthday come on Saturday this year so we don't get any holiday from school. And I always thought he was a good guy. If that doesn't make me hop- ping mad! And I suppose it'll have to land on Sunday next year. If he wasn't dead I'd give him a piece of my mind. Scrippage came out today as usual. Somebody wrote a story about George Washington and they printed it on the second page. I don't see how it got by the editor. I wish I was good enough to be on the Scrippage staff. Golly! I think I'll be a reporter when I grow up. February 25,1930 Tuesday Well, old Pal- I put my foot in it that time. It's a good thing nobody had a chance to read what I wrote on February twenty-first, I'd be wiped off the map, and, who do you suppose would do it? That gal I sent the candy to! She wrote that story about George Washington that was in last week's Scrippage. She of all people. This is the way I found out. I was just about to get myself a drink at the fountain when along she came. Of course I offered her one but she didn't want it. Nevertheless I took one myself and I thought I heard her say. How did you like my story? What? I asked. The one about George Washington in last week's paper, she answered. Oh! was all I could say and I nearly drowned myself getting another drink! What do you think of that? ,ax store. S alll! - W Swim?- ZW ,vigil I ease: ga., March 6, 1930 Thursday Hello- Got report cards today and somehow I don't think I'll get any sleep tonight. It's a shame. I was so happy. In fact I was really enjoying life. Soldan wouldn't be such a bad place if it wasn't for report cards. Dad took one look and refused to sign it. Oh well-I guess Mom will sign it for me in the morning. I saw the Author- ess, Cyou know who I meanj after school. She got four E's. Gee,I didn't think she was that kind of a girl. They had a program in the aud today. The Gym Club. Man! It was real. I think the Gym Club is about the best program we ever get after lunch. I thought one of the kids would break his neck. Another guy was hanging on it about a minute but when he let go it was all there. Seems to me I have heard about rubber necks before! p f- g A -2: -i,:21-.- -f- page f--f T ..-, . dire! March 10, 1930 Monday Mr. Diary, Had lots of fun today. The Sammies and Susies had their picture taken for Scrip. The photographer had a terrible time getting us hxed. The best part was that all the time he was fussing at us I was missing my German class. Of course I cared. What do you think? Soldan won the city basket ball championship. Rah! rah! for the champs They lost only one game. That was the one I didn't go to. I guess they missed my support. I'm rather sleepy tonight. I ate thirty- hve cents worth for lunch. I was still hungry when I got home so I ate until din- ner. Then I helped myself twice to every- thing at the supper table. So I've had a big day, and I'm pretty tired. Goodnight.

I've been playing April Fool jokes on everybody. The girl next to me in study hall, this moming, was using Webster's Inter- national, the great big dictionary. Some how or other the thing slipped, and crashed to the floor. It made one heck of a noise. Well, I leaned over and very po- litely inquired, Did you drop your hand- kerchief? She was so dazed that she looked down to see if I meant it and didn't even realize that aton of hand- kerchiefs wouldn't make so much racket. But then-some people are dumb. Oh, I forgot to tell you. This morning I fooled Mother's goldfish the first thing. I gave them some newspaper instead of fishfood. Well they bit all right. The dizzy fish ate it all up and now Mom's on my trail with murder in her eye! They up and died. 202 f?-K3 APRIL GQ, Foot! 4 3 A Qin ef N 1 l '3 1 'ii 3 gf ill ' X! u -f Q-I. - - 0 cn W April 25, 1930 H d ' Friday ow y. I'm in the dumps tonight and just about as mad as hops! And I can blame it all on that red head. This is the way it started. The Sammies and Susies had a party in the big gym. It was lots of fun till they started to dance. I never could dance and I don't think I'll every try again! She came up to me and asked me if I wouldn't like to dance. Of course I couldn't stand there like an egg and tell her I didn't know how. Somehow we got way out in the middle. I was getting the knack of it pretty good when I stepped on her foot. I begged her pardon but I got all off the track from then on. I couldn't even hop. It wasn't long before I stepped on her toe again only harder this time. Well, what do you think she did? She slapped my face! Yes sir! Right in front of everybody and then she left me stan- ding there like a nut! I felt like two cents. Just for that I swore off of all girls and I really mean it.

The reason is that they have girls who are reporters and I won't be bothered with girls anymore. No sir! Not me. Gee, you'd have laughed if you could have seen the Seniors today. It was Stunt Day and they were all rigged up tit to kill. Our geometry class roared like everything when Napoleon Bonaparte got up to conquer a proposition and met his Waterloo! I was wishing like everything that I was a Senior when I found out that the good-looking football captain was sup- posed to be a darky and the red-head wouldn't have anything to do with him. The proud beauty staged a regular scene in the hall when she saw the black all over his face. She stuck up her nose at him and as I was handy, she tucked her hand under my arm and we marched off as big as life. Now what do you think of a girl like that-? June 12, 1930 Thursday Diary- I guess it's all over now. The Senior class graduated this morning at ten- thirty. The girls were all dressed in white and they sure looked swell. Some of them had to say speeches and she said a poem that she wrote herself. It was good. Wish I could wiite the way she does. Well I saw them all get a diploma and I clapped so hard for her that my hands are still red. Afterwards I wanted to shake hands and say Good-by but what do you sup- pose? just as I got near enough to speak, that football captain walked up and handed her a great big bouquet of roses. She couldn't even see me. I just walked away and didn't say anything. For the last time I'm swearing off of girls and this time I really mean it! Forever and ever! National High School Band Contest?

Culmny 5016 Cnlnuny 6590 GIVE l'l-llil SCHIP ADVERTISERS A CHANCE TO SERVE YOU EXICO Let's open our eyes to our oppor- tunities next cioor. MEXICO is one of the greatest storehouses of undeveloped natural resources on the face of the earth. ln addition to that it is a land of charm for the tourist. The people not only are as hospitable and courteous as any-their hospitality and courtesy is developed against a background of 400 years of Caucasian civilization and culture. Basic soundness oi' Mexican institutions has been demonstrated in the remark- able way our Sister Republic has survived turmoil and trouble since 1910. There is no visible evidence today in any quarter of the years of strife. Ori the other hand, wherever one goes, there will be found happy, prosperous, contented, aggres- sive, patriotic, home-loving' and God-fearing men and women who welcome the stranger within their gates. Mexicans realize their need and must have outside assistance in their develop- ment. They are prepared to welcome and reward such assistance in every legiti- mate way, and the citizens of our country visiting Mexico will be repaid in many ways. Few realize how easily and comfortably, quickly and economically a visit to Mexico can be accomplished. Excellent train service, that compares favorably with that throughout the United States, enables anyone now to visit Mexico City, for instance on through trains trom St. Louis In less time than it takes to go from St. Louis to Los Angeles. Mexican railroads are marvels of engineering efficiency and their equipment and service compare favorably with any in the llnited States. ' Recognizing- all these things, the Missouri Pacific Lines. in addition to endeav- orlng to help develop the territory directly served by these properties, also acknowl- edges a responsibility to assist in every possible way in the proper development of our great Sister Republic ol' the South. Any Missouri llacitie Man will gladly provide anyone interested with any and as much additional inforiuatioii as may be desired, I solicit your co-opt-rxttion and assistance. Slbouis , ,I 0-4. .
