It is to be said in our honor that we successfully discovered the gym but when we left its protecting walls and the fr i e n d l y warnings of Mr. Winner we green Freshies were subject to the pranks of those heartless Sophs. Con- sider the time and energy wasted in look- ing for the lunch-room on the fourth floor. How we frantically scanned those precious schedules for rooms, which could not be found for looking! But I guess we didn't appear to be green enough, so at the Freshie Reception we were presented with Hbright green ribbon bows. What's happening? It is 3:05 P. M. but the Freshies are rushing through the halls indifferently, dragging a coat with one hand and the other hand joyously waving something in the air. The SESAME is out! FRESHMAN A. Old Father Time rapidly proceeds along his beaten path until we are raised to the next level of 9A. We at last have ab-A sorbed enough knowledge to desire re- venge. April Fool Day offered an excel- lent opportunity. June is here but where are those stu- dents ? Sh-h-h! Don't tell Mrs. Seneff CMr. Timlin's predecessorj. We had a free ride on the merry-go-round. Having had our little frolic, we settle down to hard work as final report cards were soon is- sued. Hurrah! Vacation at last! No more pencils, no more books, no more-mm- jooks. SOPHOMORE B. We have been raised to a still higher level. We are now the know-it-all Soph- omores. We gave the Freshies to under- stand their place in the realm of ............. How they envied us when we nonchalantly discarded our schedules. But we were brought down a peg when we received our reports, so we kept our noses to the grindstone until all was safe and we were triumphantly recognized as Sophomore A's. i SOPHOMORE A. Having reached this advanced standing. we asserted our just rights and clamored for the best seats in the Schenley Auditor- ium to see the class play. Our pulses were all a'quiverg promotion is approaching! Ah! We breathe again, for we are now haughty Juniors. JUNIOR B. The summer vacation sped by, taking us with it and launching us in our Junior year, in the Fall. Everyone dreams of Juniorhood -it is beyond the little sister attitude of the Sophomore class, and near enough Senior- hood to feel a slight ray from the blazing glory of being a Senior! A Junior B found joy in sauntering through the halls and raising eyebrows at a Sophomore who chanced to look at his schedule card. And then one day the full benefits of be- ing a Junior B fell on our class and with prickly fears that ran all over us, we met in the lunch-room to-Organize! And after much talking and much noise we managed to elect our class officers. Miss Edith Griffiths, whom we feared as Sophomores, turned out to be very humane and likeable, and then lovable. We chose Miss Griffiths as our Guardian. Our other officers were Mr. Calvin Heil, President, Mr. Marcus Davies, Vice-Presi- dent, Lillie Hudepohl, Secretary, and Hel- en Bishop, Treasurer. Then came murmurings of class rings, mingled with strangeness of the new stud- ies. English V swung us from an English of written work to that of oral. The first few weeks, Miss Heenan thought she had a dumb class and then, under training and emphatic demands for talks, we discovered we had tongues and redeemed ourselves before reports, which were given before Hallowe'en, thus shading an otherwise good holiday night. Affairs for the Junior B's moved with the system of Robot till Thanksgiving, when we journeyed home for too much turkey and sauce, with the SESAME tucked under our arms. 28 SESAME Having recovered from Thanksgiving we went directly into the holidays and almost had the Sophomores believing there was a Santa Claus. The ring question Was finally settled by measurements and selections and then we settled down for a long wait. Reports the second time brought shud- ders, and smiles. Then began hard work that lost its start at the first of the semes- ter. February brought a few days of rest and the last report that told the story. Book One of the Junior year closed and Book Two opened, with a tale just as keen as the other. JUNIOR A. Returning in February, we felt quite heavily the responsibility of being Junior A's, and glanced once, and hastily, at our schedules, folded them neatly and won- dered why the School Board wasted paper! An epidemic of Presidents' Birthdays arrived, bringing dry speeches, dull essays, and a thankfulness when the bell rang. Joy was in the hearts of all, one could turn the leaves of one's book and see the new class ring in stately splendour, or scratch one's hand and notice the neat carving, and let a lower-class man behold it in awe! Too grown up to mind April 1, we let it pass, the Sophomores furnishing all the humor. Spring vacation came in time. Dear teachers were not only afHicted with their own Spring fever, but the pupils as well. Everybody longed for everybody else to keep away from them. However, the vacation and reports roused us all, and we were in the right state to at- tend a party one dreams of! Gertrude Hahn threw open the doors of her father's house and bade us come to a party that had no regrets! Spring SESAME came out, bringing chagrin to us! No pictures! No notices! No nuthin'! Having read the posters in the hall at every turn, we deemed it wise to attend the Senior play-very nice-a Senior play! Commencement filled us with a queer feeling-one experiences it when riding down an elevator! We were the next June class-we-but vacation was near and wor- ries far off. SENIOR B. Whatever we thought the feelings of a Senior B were, turned out to be very, very strange. No exalted feeling-indeed, a little shaky, a little uncertainty filled our class. Dignified Seniors on the outside-but Freshmen at heart. Early in September we held a class meet- ing, voted for a Corn Roast, which was held at our president's. Sandwiches, corn, p i c k l e s , marshmallows, bonfire smoke, laughing and heaps of fun, assorted them- selves in a hilarious way. And then we opened history books and learned a thing or two about our country for test day. We left Browning and his ocean-deep essays to become farmers of cheap novel type. Hallowe'en found the gym in black and yellow, with students dressed as hicks. Miss Griflith and Miss White, as two dear grandmas with their grand- daughter CRuth Eichleayl won a prize. Fancy-work stalls spread their wares like ye old time fair-all we missed was the music of the merry-go-round. Reports brought us back to class and we studied diligently until Thanksgiving, with a class meeting to break the monotony. Our colors, grey and green. Our motto, We build the ladder by which we rise - and flower, American Beauty, were chosen. And when we returned we found that our friend, Mr. Brogan, had assigned the last lesson, closed the book, and locked the case. A friend whose worth was sterling, whose memory is paramount, whose teach- ing will never be lost-our lost Gram- mariah. Quick, vivacious Mrs. Boyles took the class until February and we grew goose flesh over Macbeth Christmas came and went, leaving an empty place in the good ship, South Hills. A mate, Miss Holcombe, deserted the ship, threw down the mop and went ashore. Miss Bess Hankey, new in the school rolled up her sleeves, picked up the mop and finished the class play-and very suc- cessfully, too! Reports caused many New Year's reso- lutions to be made-and they lasted no longer than it took to voice them. At last came the Prom -the dream of every dreamer-its gay colorings and gay- er hearts. Our tribute to the Senior A's! And once again we finished the volume. ! ! SENIOR A. Quite willing to admit we were pillars of knowledge, we made our entrance into the Senior A class. It has been suggested that Senior A's didn't workg our new Eng- lish teacher, Miss Heenan, who still retain- SESAME 29 ed the power to terrify a Senior A, soon made this out to be a mistake. Class Play began early and flowed rapid- ly until the play was chosen. Jean Web- ster's Daddy Longlegs was selected. At once began try-outs, heartaches, and final selections. Our SESAME began its struggle and thrived by the meagerest food, till we roused the Class. Spring issue in gray was received with fervor and read with zest. Cn May 2, 1923, the Civics Class had a definitely assigned lesson. Our books saw daylight the first time. A certain Freshman Assembly enjoyed the orphanage scene from the Class Play. The trustees and orphans won the audi- ence. Following this came a candy sale. The originators were Jean Diskin and Margue- rite V. Bahmer. The class co-operated beautifully, bringing in picturesque-look- ing candy and nuts. The sale was for the SESAME and Class Play Fund, and was a huge success. Our Class attempted to have a different graduation to do away with the usual white dresses, and after a heated discus- sion, two-thirds of the class voting in favor of the grey cap and gown, the idea was dismissed, and we returned to the usual white dress. The days that came hurrying on were crowded with picture-taking, class play works, class book works, and our theses. Graduation looms before us-it is our turn to find our places on the platform of life, and to receive our diplomas, rich in promises. It is our duty to make the promises real, to exercise the things learn-- ed in the four years of high school, and to build a character on the foundation of right living, justice in all dealings with mankind. Qin the guns We are done. After four years, we can look back upon a work that has been done, if well, by our own efforti if poorly, by our own lack. Through this period of time we have seen changes, we have been brought nearer the world that we must force to give us a living. Throughout our school term, our watchword has been Co-opera- tion. How could it be but that when we rely upon the friendships we have made? How could we suppose else were the case when we see the work that our class has done. How could it differ when we see that, relying one upon another, trusting one another, knowing one another, feeling the helping hand, we have together done what separately was the impossible. But now we separate into almost as many paths as there are persons among 7 ivy' U Q 0 QLIM5 of 1923 A us. Shall we not remember the watchword all through life, believing our friends, trusting them, knowing them? And must we lose the friendship now formed? God forbid! Such loss would be too great An organization of alumni and alumnae cannot foster a spirit that is dormant in the hearts of its members. One with the spirit of co-operation will use any means to keep alive these old friendships and to render them more useful to himself, his friend, and his country. Shall We not then try to remember each other and prolong the advantages gained in the past four years into the next forty and more years by relying, believing. knowing and trusting? -Willard Arthur Laning,, Jr. 0 KC?

Follow this example and you are sure to have a thesis of the highest order. MY VOCATION. As I look upon my future and think with some anxiety about the line of endeavor to which I should devote mv life, I can find only one profession which appeals to me. This is an honorable profession, one in which those who succeed even moderately are well rewarded. It is a profession in which a high type of intelligence is re- quired, but education is not so valuable as experience. It is the great profession of HOD-CARRYING ! Buildings must constantly be built in the world, and it is the hod-carrier that builds them. Without the hod-carrier, hu- manity would be still living in huts and wigwams. This is one of the great advan- tages of this profession-it renders a great and irreplaceable service to humanity. An- other advantage is that there are remark- able chances to learn the profession. It is possible to engage in hod-carrying without previous experience, and learn from that greatest of all teachers-Experience. As there are always buildings to be built, the expert hod-carrier can always obtain em- ployment. The work is very steadyg in fact, if the hod-carrier stops to rest, his boss immediately orders him to go to work. Then there is the question of interesting work, and of this I may say that there is no more interesting .iob than that of car- rying a hod. There is always the liability that some of the contents of the hod may drop out from the tenth story of the building, and the expert hod-carrier can hit his boss nine times out of ten, even among a crowd. Promotions are always waiting for the hod-carrier. As the work on a building progresses, he is promoted from the first floor to the second, then to the third, fourth, and so on, until he reaches the top. A hod-carrier has many friends and as- sociates. Every man whom he misses when he drops a brick from the twelfth floor is his friend, and around election time he is fairly burdened with associates from among the city's greatest men-the poli- ticians. His hours of labor are long, but think of the advantage of the exercise he gets, and the ability he develops of holding his 'own in any company, however rough. The hod-carrier gets a vacation every time there is no use for his services, and he can take one at any other time he pleases. His work is very healthy, being out in the open at all times, and in case of a fight, the con- tents of his hod are unexcelled as ammuni- tion, for if he is carrying cement he can overwhelm his adversaries with it, and if bricks he has the same material that Cae- sar used in his famous catapults. So it would seem that the profession of hod- carrying has many and varied advantages. Among its disadvantages are these: The hod-carrier cannot very well wear his Sun- day clothes to work so as to be able to call on his sweetheart afterwards, without having to go home to change, and he may sometimes have a fight with another hod-- carrier who is armed with ammunition similar to his own, thus destroying at a blow the advantage before mentioned about the usefulness of his load in case of fights. As before mentioned, excessive prepara- tion is unnecessary for entrance to this profession, but ,it may be well to have practiced tight-rope walking before apply- ing for a job, and to be able to throw a brick one hundred feet left-handed and not miss your target, as some bosses are very agile and expert dodgers. A graduate of Harvard may consider himself fairly well fitted for this profession, and after five years practical experience will be able to call himself a master of hod-carrying- M.H.-C. In conclusion, I may state that if these few requirements are met, the hod-carrier may well rest assured that he will succeed in his profession.-D. O. Crofford, M.H.-C.

I rl There is no real perfection in the vast world about us, but the aim of each indi- vidual is, and should be, to attain the near- est proximity to this goal, though he may have to struggle through treacherous path- ways and up rugged hills. And so, in the following criticism of the Senior A Class Play, Daddy Longlegsf' an effort has been made to be just and not too severe. The male lead, Jervis Pendleton, played by Mr. Wrigley, is the most diflicult part in the play. Mr. Wrigley handles this part very well with his Hantipathy for girls and his curious love aiair with that grimy little orphan out of an asylum. The female lead, Judy Abbot, played by Miss Shaw, is also a diflicult character to portray. One advantage of this part is the identical age of the character and player. In her rise from the John Grier Home, Judy shows a natural reaction such as might be expected in real life. Miss Pritchard, as played by Miss Kirk- el, is a sweet old maid-jolly, and yet far- sighted and sincere. It is only through her pleading for her little Judy, who de- serves a chance for her own sake, that the course of the play leads to the happy ending involving Jervis and Judy. Miss Emph, as Mrs. Pendleton, is the aristocratic sister-in-law of Jervis Pendle- ton, and her inquiries as to Judy's ances- tors cause much amusement. Miss Emph portrays her part exceedingly well. Sallie McBride and Julia Pendleton, two young college girls and room-mates of Judy, are quite amusing in trying to rid up their room before the return of Mrs. Pendleton and Miss Pritchard. Salliels part is played by Miss Tiegel and Julia's by Miss Burke. The part of Jimmy McBride is taken by Mr. Wakefield. He, as Sallie's brother, shows that spirit too common between brother and sister-he is a constant tease. Mrs. Semple is a kind old lady, who looks after Judy while she spends her vacation at the Locke Willows farm. She is that old-fashioned, motherly type of person that wins everyone's love and admiration. The character is well presented by Miss Hudepohl. Walters, the butler, played by Mr. Hel- mig, and Griggs, Jervis' secretary, played by Mr. Bernstein, are both very interest- ing parts. Mr. Helmig and Mr. Bernstein deserve special mention for the way in which they develop these characters. Miss Leitch, as Mrs. Lippett, portrays an unenviable type of character in her dealings with the poor, unfortunate little orphans-Sadie-Kate, Gladiola, Loretta, Mamie, Number Four, and last but not least, Freddie Perkins-played respective- ly by Miss Kramer, Miss Milligan, Miss McAleer, Miss Diskin, Miss Bahmer and Mr. DePierre. These characters, with the Board of Trustees, including Mr. White- house as Abner Parsons, Mr. Slayton as Cyrus Wykoff, and Mr. Crofford as another director, play a very interesting and amus- ing first act. WykoiT's anger is easily aroused when he finds the picture drawn by Judy, which is supposed to be the por- trait of a trustee, but which looks like a J une-bug. The peculiar characteristics of each trustee are enjoyed by all. The French maid, played by Miss En- Dean, and the country maid at the Locke Willows farm, played by Miss Barnes, are deserving of mention. This play, Daddy Longlegs, given on June 8 by the '23 Senior Class of South Hills High School, was directed by Miss Bess A. Hankey, to whom it owes the major portion of its success. The splendid success of the play was due not only to the never-failing work of the members of the cast, but also to the other individuals and committees which helped to make Daddy Longlegs one of the best plays that South Hills has yet given in its history.

Probably it is the realization of their ambitions in whatever form they takeg or, perhaps some may not even have any de- sire to succeed at all. In fact, many stu- dents lack this desire and they d'in't know it because they have not the qualifications necessary to success. A real desire must actuate them and must spur them on to higher things through hard work, patience and a consideration for fellow men. These are the obstacles to be conquered by am- bition, these are the steps which lead to success. If you wish to rise above the common herd, if you desire to elevate yourself and to stand out before all, you must work- and work hard. Consider to what heights work has ele- vated men: It placed Napoleon Bonaparte on the throne of France, it gave us our greatest dramatic poet, William Shakespeareg and even in our present day it produces our greatest national leaders, the leaders in science, in politics, in education, and in lit- erature. How wonderful is that feeling of satis- faction which pervades you when you see something, for which you have worked, accomplished-that feeling of ability and of self-reliance that you have after a com- pleted task. These alone are ample re- wards for the work which you have done: you are fully compensated for all that you have suffered. All students have work to do if they wish to succeed. This means you. You must work here to make good, for you will be the leaders of our nation some day, prepare now and make a suc- cess of it. Do not wait for fortune to come to you in the shape of heredity or luck- go to work and earn it. Success is not suc- cess if it hasn't been worked for and earned. You must have patience if you will suc- ceed. You must have endurance to over- come all discouragements with a patience that never fails. Would Bruce have been king of Scot- land if he had not learned this important lesson of patience from a spider? Would the Great Pyramids have been built with- out patience? Like these, you, too, must apply patience and endurance in your work both in school and out. You must not be discouraged by small obstacles but surmount them. You can't succeed if you skip or half-do small things, because they are the foundation of bigger ones. And, as a well-known poet says: True worth is in being, not seemingg In doing' each day that goes by Some litile good, not in dreaming Of great lhings to do by and by. These four lines condense a world of truth and carry in them excellent advice for everyone. In following the road to success you must not trample on other people. In other words, you must not advance your interest at their expense. How many men have tried this and failed? The ex-monarch of Germany is a notable example. Rather help everyone and encourage them, and in doing this you will form friendships which will be of great help to you in your struggle. Remember that friendship is a basic principle of success, for a man can only be truly a success when he has true friends. If you want to have a friend, be one. -D. B., '24. FOCUSING THOUGHT. When pupils can so control their mind that, despite distractions that are pleasing or exasperating, they can keep their at- tention directed upon any given subject until they have mastered the problem that it contains for them, they have reached the high road to prosperity. A diierence between a pupil who can master any subject and a pupil who can master none is that the pupil before whom all obstacles fall or melt away is able to hold his or her mind to any chosen task until he has found the solution, while the other pupil cannot so control his thoughts. There are no problems that cannot be solved. Everything yields to thought. Continents which used to be months apart by travel are less than weeks apart now. A master mind declares that everything will give way to thought and the history of the world proves this to be true. Keep your mind on a problem until you have worked it out. Those who do, grow in strength. There is a way out of all dif- ficulty if you will turn the searchlight of your mind on it and look for it. The sun's rays under a glass will not burn until focused on one point. What kind of blows do you strike? How do you salute your friends in the morning and in the afternoon? Do you have the concentrated essence of vitality at all times, called Pep? If not, why not? Con- SESAME 4 51 centrate your mind on getting Power and you will obtain it. Are you tapping feebly, or are you strik- ing sledge-hammer blows? Pugilists hit with all their might. A tiger springs with all his stored-up strength. A strong stroke in everything works wonders. Put the master stroke in everything you do, pupils. You will find all honor pupils are adept in focusing their thoughts. C o u r a g e - unwavering courage, plus faith and serenity-are not exclusive gifts of an inscrutable Providence to Mr. A, that he may be superior to Mr. B. All can have them. Blame yourself when you fail. Blame someone else, and you'll find that you will remain a failure. The pupil who has no faith in his or her ability to master studies is like the man who rowed all night with his boat tied to a stake. The source of courage is like air, beyond the control of any one person. Our minds and bodies are gardens and the Almighty Will is the gardener. Fer- tilize and irrigate your garden, don't trans- plant the vegetables every time the soil gets dry. Practice concentrating your mind on something useful each day and you will de- velop suflicient brainpower to be a success in this world. Also remember that purpose is the big amperage current in the motor of achievement. -R. J. Watson. CONFIDENCE OR CONCEIT? Some think that confidence and conceit are two words meaning the same thing, but thought will show a wide difference. We laugh at a conceited person, but re- spect one who has well grounded confi- dence in himself. The person who says, I can do that with one hand, usually finds out before he is through that he is not equal to the task and that his brag- ging did not help himg but the man who says to himself, I can do it, and who sets out to do it, not for the glory that he may gain, nor for the reward he may get, but to fulfill his resolution and show the world that when he resolves to do a certain thing he does it, and does not brag about it. Two boys were asked to weed the gar- den before noon-four rows apiece. Hoi said one, I can do that with one hand! I The other didn't brag, but started to work briskly. Noon came, and the first boy hadn't finished his third row, the second was walking back to the house when the dinner-bell rang. Knew I could do it, was all he said. This illustration puts great emphasis on the preceding points. There are many who brag about what they are going to do, but they never do those things. Then there are those who resolve to make good and they are the ones whom the world honors and respects. It is the duty of every boy and every girl in this great country to re- solve that he or she will make good and then to fulfill that resolve, for we get nothing in this world for which we do not work. If we keep in mind the fact that Selfishness defeats itself, but he who thinks least of his own merit is most es- teemed by mankindj' we shall succeed and we shall be happy. -V. H., '24. The following is one of a number of essays entered by South Hills High School students in the Good Roads Essay Contest. The winner of this contest will receive a four-year scholarship in any college or university, offered by Mr. H. S. Firestone, of Akron, Ohio.-Editor. THE INFLUENCE OF HIGHWAY TRANSPORT UPON THE RELIGIOUS LIFE OF MY COMMUNITY. Highway transport has a potent inHu- ence upon the religious life of my commun- ity. In the pioneer days in the United States, men walked miles through the fields and over muddy roads to go to church. Many stayed at home because of the diffi- cult ways of reaching their place of wor- ship. Later, carts and crude vehicles of all descriptions came into use and obviously none could be used without roads, how- ever crude. As the years have passed, good roads have become a popular demand and taxes are now collected to build them. Better vehicles have come and especially motor cars. Thus, church attendance has been increased, and in many connected ways this easier highway transport has affected religious service. One way is that more persons can reach the church. People can use their auto- mobiles and distance counts for little. Therefore, many who would not otherwise attend, welcome the chance to join in the service. The greater the attendance the lafger the amount of funds for the many 5 2 g gg SESQME. g vp -MW u kinds of church work. More effective preachers can be procured and thus the wider will be church influence upon the community. This better highway transport also helps the pastor in reaching the homes of members of his congregation. In the time of sickness or death he can give much com- fort to families and bring them closer to God. tHe can induce people to come to church and join in the church activities. In every district, because of poor roads, mothers keep their children away from Sunday school and church, whenever the weather is too bad for open air travel. Good roads and better vehicles, such as automobiles, also encourage the use of churches as social or intellectual centers in the community. Lectures, entertainments, and institutes of various kinds may be held in them, and to enable the people to get full benefit of these sacred edifices, plainly they must be accessible at every season. There are now more than 20,000,000 auto- mobiles in the United States. Extensive as is their use in all other ways, one need re- flect for only a moment to feel sure that their relation to the religious life of any community must have become very great. Community houses can be maintained under the care of churches and thus alien peoples can be taught American ideas and the Christian faith, which together tend to make the good citizen. The religious spirit is spread in the community house, where it is an important factor. It is to these places that mothers send their chil- dren for an evening's enjoyment, with the certainty that no harm will come to them. Such places are also the pleasant resort of the older members of the family. It is not alone in the large cities that com- munity houses are located and accomplish much for better living with happier times, but in small towns and rural localities they are also found. Thus once more the high- way transport enters, and one must be- lieve that the automobile is no longer re- garded as the luxury of the rich. It does not require much thinking to see that besides the church attendance itself all activities require such transport serv- ice. Churches maintain hospitals, orphan asylums, and homes for old people. All these need food supplies and other com- modities and equipments. The motor truck becomes part of the highway transport subject to be noted. Also, the automobiles and good roads will enable relatives and friends to visit the inmates of these insti- tutions more easily. Who has not noticed in this city the long lines of automobiles near some hospital while these parked friends are giving cheer to patients with- in. Is it not all part of the true religious life of a community and the influence of highway transport evident? Some persons of cynical bent of mind may enjoy their idea that good roads and automobiles may tempt more persons to stay away from church that neglected at- tendance before the coming of these new features. Church statistics show this is not true. However, one might look at it in another way. It is said, The groves were God's first temples. Thus, one on a Sun- day afternoon can drive his car miles oiit- side the city and spend leisure hours in the woods. He will study the beautiful trees, the flowers, the birds, and the streams Howing through the forest aisles. He will learn the lesson of love from the birds, that of protection from the trees, and the course of life from the stream. He will soon begin to wonder who made the world and all these beautiful things. He will de- sire to learn more of God and will there- fore be more apt to attend church to hear His Word. Good roads thus aid the dweller on earth to see more of the beauties and wonders scattered around. His trips away from church are sure to lead him, in the end, back to it. -Dorothy MacPherson, 11-A.

So, after all the tested, thought-out and care- fully drawn plans, I was caught! Martin pointed his lean, yellow finger at meg the rest all fell back, stunned and silent. Ibroke down. Hysteria seized my wretch- ed person. Tottering and overcome by failure I sat down. Now, and Martinls voice was all gen- tleness, tell us all about it. I choked, and endeavored to begin. First, I gasped, how did you discover it ? The first day I found a scarlet thread caught in the carving of the table in Mr. Carlye's room. It did not match any- thing I could see-'til to-day. When you tennis I saw you all went down to play wore a scarlet sweater, and you yourself the sleeve, which called my attention to was beginning to ravel-and so I knew. I grew sick and faint. Confession came easy after nights of torture. Yes, I killed him-accidentally. I-, confusion spread over me. Begin at the beginningf' Martin sug- gested. The beginning? The beginning came in my childhood. Bare of all love, my life was spent with an aunt, who died on the town, when I was seventeen. I moved about in the lowest society-with a desire to go to school. My elder brother, who worked in Mr. Carlyle's Birmingham mills, endeavored to send me to school. From the time I en- tered it was the sharpest torture. My clothes were unsuitable. I tried pitifully to dress smart, and in my cheap georgette waists and dirty skirts and cheaper jewel- ry I made a ready target for the school children. When I was sixteen I was a veneered piece of girlhood with my matted hair and ear rings. My brother died that year and left Westley and I alone-with my aunt. She was even cheaper than I. Then it meant work. As a wrapper in a depart- ment store-I lost my voice. Those years rose like a dark cloud and hid my vision of right. Day in and day out I wrapped packages and ran errands. At night I was too tired to sleep, and so got my fun walking the streets-with 'fellahsf At my aunt's death we were destitute. Westley was 1.5, incorrigible, and .started on the road to ruin. My five dollars a week was almost nothing. One night-it was raining and cold: March winds tore through the streets and screamed as the corners cut off their pace. I walked the streets hungry and with no coat or hat. On a bridge I paused-the electric lights of the bridge sparkled on the water like blinking eyes. Westley could take care of himself. I had lost my job. One j ump-all I remembered was my foot catching on the rail. The next morning I awakened in a large room, strong of macaroni and garlic, mixed with cheese. The walls were hung with pictures of men being tortured. The furniture was crude and heavy affairs, such as we find in peasants' homes. At my side sat a man nearing his thir- ties,bearded, and dressed in a Russian suit. He held a large mug in his hand, the con- tents of which he gave me. That began my life with Paul Parvitch, one of the strongest Red leaders in America. Martin paled-that name would pale the strongest. He soon discovered I could write good English and I was given the job of speech and pamphlet writing for the organiza- tion. Westley joined us some months later. All the time this one idea was engraved in my soul-'the laborer has no chance.' I believed it till I met Mrs. Carlyle. I was in the public library, Qwe had come to New Yorkl, reading an American history. The chapter on Lincoln aroused me-he was poor and so was I. Before I knew or thought what I was doing I began talking to the lady at my side-Mrs. Car- lyle. She was Miss Saunders then. Be- coming interested in me she offered me the position of social secretary. I accept- ed. Life became a different game with me as winner, except that always behind me was Parvitch demanding that I use position for his gain. At last he lost his patience with me and my excuses. CI kept telling him I found no opportunity to rob the Carlylesj He arranged with Westley to disguise as an old gardener and the woman with whom he lived was to become the housekeeper. And so Westley Lee became Old Tim and Rene Bancroft, 'Millyf I lived in constant fear-waiting for them to strike. They laid their plans for June 4th. 'Milly' was in Toronto. 'Old Tim' was to go to Mr. Carlyle's room and my SESAME 55 demand money in the name of the Bolshe- vist organization. Between fifteen and twenty after three he appeared in Mr. Carlyle's room. At first I was going to say nothing- but Maxine's kindness and friendship came before me. They had planned to leave clues directing suspicion towards her. So I went to Mr. Carlyle's room. 'Old Tim' was there, covering him with a gun. However, I had a gun, toog it was Anna's and Maxine had asked me to have it cleaned. Parvitch aimed straight at me -but I was quicker-so I fired. To my hor- ror it was Mr. Carlyle that received the bullet. Here I ended. My throat was dry and weak. Some one gave me a drink. I decided not to tell, but when sus- picion was pointed to the Carlyle's, who had been my friends, I was tempted to confess. Parvitch kept hounding me, de- manding money, and when he saw we were weakening he killed Westly, because West had threatened to tell. Now you know. I ended. Yes, we know, but we want some ex- planations. Do you know about this? Martin referred to the dirty paper with Ten twenty. No slips. Left for Pitts- burgh about Saturday, expect return. I nodded dully. Westly got that from Parvitch-he was always the noise behind the scene. Martin turned away-to Maxine. Now, Mrs. Carlyle, tell us of your vis- it. Maxine, now cleared and free, spoke with no restraint. I went to Andy's room at a quarter to three-to ask him to free me. I told him I loved Joseph. I pointed out that our marriage was a farce-I tried to reason with him. He stormed with anger, sug- gested that all I wanted was the Carlyle millions. I told him if he would give me my freedom we would leave 'The Brooksf As I turned to leave him, he caught my dress and tore a piece of the train. Too nervous to say anything I left him. What of this? The young detective handed her the paper: Go as far as possible. Kill if it cannot be accomplished otherwise. He'd be out of misery. Maxine laughed. Those were directions to 'Old Tim' con- cerning my old dog, Rover. And this?', giving her the diary. 'fMerely the expression of my thoughts. I couldn't kill a Hy. Joseph came next. He told the same story. His visit to his father-his father's silent response to questions. Anna came after him. After the dance Nat and I went to the Justice of the Peace. We were married and came directly homef' Nat Carson was pale as he began his story. Several nights after the murder, I passed the road outside the gates, looking for some clue. Near dawn I came in. I found I had lost my handkerchief, that you found in 'Old Tim's' mouth. Next night I discovered the Russian person, pointing to him who stood at Ted's side, creeping over the fence. I attacked him, but he got away. It preyed on my mind. That's the reason for my caged animal walk last night and the 'why-why.' I wanted to leave but the gateman had his orders. He sat down with signs of relief. And now, Ted. Martin was almost smiling. Ted began. Miss Carney and I were on our way to be married. We came up to Tarrytown. I stopped the car at the station for the walk was short and I didn't want the fam- ily to hear the car. As I entered the drive I saw the figure of someone silhouetted against the shade in the rooms of my father. The figure held a revolver. I climbed up by the vine-but he escaped. Not waiting to alarm the house I hurried after him. However, as you know, I was unsuccessful. Sibyle took me to a farm house and I stayed there till this morning, when I made my escape to New York. I came to my father's house once to see him. In New York I went at once to the Green- wich Village district, but they are a poor lot of pikers. Over in the heart of the East Side I found him at 4 o'clock, before a mission. Under a threat of shooting him, I finaily succeeded in bringing him here. Now, who and what is he ? Martin lit his pipe. He is one of our best detectives. Bar- ton was in with that nest of Reds. He was here the night of the 4th to halt the rob- bing. When he saw you he recognized you and led you on a chase. He wanted to learn more. Last night he was here with his ventriloquist powers, hoping that the guilty one would be frightened to a con- fessiong but-she wasn't. Milly was brought up-sullen and with the snarl familiar to her companions at Paul Parvitch's. She refused to 'an- swer any questions. 56 SESAME When the 'fRussian, contrary to Mar- tin's wishes, had slipped the bracelets over our arms, Milly spoke. What about him? Pointing to Nat Carson! The Carlyle's and the others opened their mouths. Martin, the faithful, spoke. Him? Yes, him! He's so smart to get us in this stew. He can cook with us. That ain't the real Nat Carsong that's Parvitchl Mr. Carson was kidnapped the night he was lookin' for clues. Anna fainted. We were stunned. This was news to me. I always thought they resembledg each other-but Parvitch wears a beard. or did. With his smooth face and easy manners he was another Nat Carson. And another bracelet was slipped on. Martin blinked. After much confusion we were driven to New York. I faced the judgment of the courts, which I had been taught to dread, but somehow I trusted the judge and the people of New York. I believed when they knew that I killed Mr. Carlyle en- tirely by accident in trying to save him they would forgive. 1 224 Pl: :lf ' So ends my tale. It is the last day of my three-year term.

THE PSYCHOLOGICAL MOMENT. Well, it may not sound very romantic but it's true that Jim proposed to mein our coal bin, declared Sally.iCorvin to her din- ner guests. Vera, Sally's youngest sister who was only 19, opened her blue eyes in horror, and Ken Bart, her sweetheart, sensing her disapproval, looked shocked al- so. I think it's perfectly awful, Vera at last burst out, for people to make fun of a proposal. There's nothing funny about it, Vera, Jim, Sally's husband, answeredg both Sal- ly and I were deadly in earnest. That just happened to be the psychological moment and-why, I just proposed, that's all. Well, resumed Vera emphatically, even though I am a flapper I stillbelieve that for a proposal there should be a nice conservatory, soft music, low lights and-- A hearty chuckle broke out and Vera's irrepressible little brother yelled, You've been readin' books again, Vera. Better cut it outg you're gettin' sentimental. It's them old movies, too- His advice was cut short by a pillow which Vera had deftly thrown at him. This interruption broke up the conversa- tion on that subject for the evening but all had cause to remember it later on. The next day proved to be such a fine one that they all decided on a trip to the beach. After lunch, Vera and Ken went canoeing. All went well until Vera be- came excited on seeing one of Sally's twins venturing too near the water's edge and jumped up to warn her sister. Before either of them knew what had happened the canoe had capsized and they found themselves in the middle of the lake. Vera could not swim but luckily Ken was able to make up for this deficiency. Before he could shove aside the canoe Vera had gone down, without an attempt to save herself. It was only the work of a moment for Ken to swim to the shore and drag the drench- ed, half-fainting girl upon it. ,A , SESAME 57 She was indeed a sorry sight. Her face was pale and her lips blue. Her once jaunty sporting outfit lay damp and bedraggled about her while her bobbed locks lay straight and limp. Finally, with a sigh, she opened her big blue eyes, and then without conservatory, music or low lights, Ken whispered passionately, Darling, will you marry me?,' Of course, was the ready answer. It was the psychological moment. -Gertrude Bainbridge, 12-A. lL. VIRGINIA LEE. Lee Brooks, a wealthy young fellow, had been tramping since early morning. Well, I guess I will have to keep mov- ing. It will soon be over, said Lee to him- self. Dusk was gathering, and with it a storm. Lee was approaching a wealthy suburb, when suddenly the rain began to fall in torrents. Gosh, he said, I am tired and this rain is awful. I believe I'll go in there. The place to which he referred was a beautiful residence, as yet unoccupied. With a little fear in his heart he went noiselessly to the back. Fortunately, giass had not been placed in one of the windows so, after pushing aside the canvas caver- ing, he crawled into the kitchen. Finding a nail keg, he sat down and be- gan to eat the contents of his knapsack. After he finished eating he walked softly to the window, pushed aside the canvas and looked out. With a sense of awe and misery, he saw the rain whirling here and there. Well, I'll have to bunk here for the night-a guilty trespasser in the eyes of the law, he thought. So he again sat down on the keg and viewed his dirty shoes and dusty clothes. It then occurred to Lee that it would be a diversion to explore the house, but he did not, for just as he had stealthily enter- ed the hall he heard the sound of voices. He looked around and saw a door, under the stairs, aj ar. The sound did not come from this direction but from the living room, so he quickly entered the room un- der the stairs. Here he spied a cat and a few pieces of furniture. Noiselessly, he placed the cot nearer the open door. He then lay down and listened. Finally the voices grew louder. They are in the hall now-thank good- ness, Lee again murmured. When the sound of the voices died out he knew they had gone, so he remained lying there, seri- ously thinking and planning. Now he had his first big job! But, alas! sleep came fast and in a few minutes he was beyond all hearing. II. Virginia lVlcFarr arose very early, dress- cd, ate her breakfast and rapped on her fatlier's door, saying, I am ready. She then went down the hall and knocked on another door calling Mother, the motor is waiting. Then she hurriedly ran out to the waiting car and informed Thomas, the driver, that her parents would soon be there. She entered the car and waited im- patiently. In a short time her mother and father appeared and on seating themselves in the car gave Virginia the usual cheery morn- ing greetings. Oh! I can hardly wait till we get there, said Virginia. After a a 20-minute drive from their city home the McFarrs left their car and went into their new home, the very one Lee Brooks had entered the night before. Mr. and Mrs. McFarr went upstairs to in- spect the floors above, while Virginia was eagerly looking over the kitchen where fudge parties could be held. All was quiet--yet, what was that ? she thought. Oh! gracious, some one is in here. I'm sure I heard a groan. Yes, the sound came from under the stairs! she cried. The door, being open, she peeped in and what she saw made her scream, 'fMother! Dad! At this sound young Lee awoke. What is wrong? he muttered, bewil- doredly. Then on seeing Virginia he said, Oh, I beg your pardon, but I didn't think anyone lived here. By that time Mr. McFarr reached the scene of commotion. He saw a tall, sturdy, good-looking young man, but when he saw his clothes he exclaimed, Get out of here, you tramp I Lee, being still sleepy, did not feel like explaining and so left, and an hour later he arrived at the college. III. As soon as he was assigned to his room, and had his school matters settled, he told his chum, Jim Harley, that he would be away for about a day and a half. Please tell the principal not to worry. If I told him I was going he might stop me and I must go I 58 SESAME When he had collected some of his be- longings, Lee went to the station and boarded a train. On arriving at his destination, he went to the main hotel, where he registered, With one glance at the register he saw the names: HR. Lane, R, Gates and J. Brown. Ahl he said to himself, those three are going to do it. Lee, by chance, was able to get a room adjoining the one taken by the three men, As soon as he was alone he listened at- tentively for the sound of voices, but in vain. That evening, while in his room, Lee heard the longed-for sound, then listened to the planning and plotting of the men Shortly after midnight the talking ceased, followed by a restless night for Lee. He arose the next morning at 7 o'clock. hurriedly dressed in sport clothes and called a taxi. Drive slowly to the Green Road Housef, he ordered the cabman. On nearing the road house, Lee had the driver stop a short distance from it. He then said: As soon as I enter, drive up to the sec- ond door on the leftf' Yes, sir, replied the driver. Lee then leisurely entered the building as if he had been hiking, and ordered breakfast. While eating he occasionally looked toward the second private dining room on the left of the main one. Just as Lee finished eating, three men entered and, after a few words with the head waiter, went into the second room on the left. Lee slowly arose, as he did so a man carrying a bag, came in and walked straight to the room which the three men occupied. On seeing the man, Lee ex- claimed: Great guns! Is that the man who found me in his house yesterday-the Mr. McFarr these men are awaiting?'i After a moment's deliberation he said al- most out loud, Well, I guess I had better interfere now. By this time the three men had bound and gagged their victim against whom they conspired, and were about to leave by means of a side door of the room, when Lee suddenly opened the door, fired up- wards with his revolver, snatched the vic- tim's bag from one of the men and, with a leap across the room, sped out another door to the waiting taxi and was oi. As soon as the gun was fired all the peo- ple in the house came to the scene of ex- citement. The three men were held and Mr. McFarr was brought back to con- sciousness. A detective was called and shortly afterwards the explaining began. The three conspirators, knowing that Mr. McFarr, a New York jeweler, while on his way to Chicago was carrying some pre- cious jewels amounting to S50,000, had planned to take them from him at the road house where he generally stopped on such missions. The men were arrested, while Mr. Mc- Farr, whom they had treated severely, was taken to a hospital, but without his jewels. The next day a box, by special delivery, was presented to Miss Mclfarr. She open- ed the box, saw the contents and cried, Mother V' When Mrs. McFarrQme.to.Vhfginia she showed her the box and also a card upon which was written: Mss McFarr: Uncle Sam can protect these well enough. I hope your father will soon re- cover. Also, I am glad the thieves are caught, and I am able to restore these jewels to you. Your servant, The Restorerf' After the jewels were again in Mr. Mc- Farr's possession he rapidly recovered, and life went on as before. IV. A year had passed. It was near Lee's last college dance-the Senior Ball. Gee, he said, one dayg I wonder whom I could take as my partner. That evening he attended a lawn fete, near the college, with some of his friends. It was here that he saw Jim Harley speak- ing to a pretty girl. As she turned her face, Lee exclaimed, f'Heavens, the girl who found me under the stairs-Miss Mc- Farr! When Jim came over to speak to Lee shortly afterwards, Lee asked for an in- troduction to Miss McFarr. While the two were being introduced Virginia flushed a rosy red. This sure is the tramp, his face and all, but still this man is a college student. Lee gained permission to escort Virginii home-to the very house he had slept in one night, just a year before. Before leaving he met and won favor with VirgInia's parents, and when they learned that it was he who had saved the jewels they rejoiced in granting Lee the privilege of escorting Virginia to the ball. It was at the ball while sitting out a dance that Virginia asked Lee why he did U sEsA1v1E 59 not tell all he knew the morning she found him under the stairs. Well, he explained, I always loved to hike. When I left college last June for home, I decided to hike back in the Fall. I knew I would enjoy Nature as well as the happenings along the road. Itcrained the night I came past your home and it looked so inviting that I went in. After I heard all the three fellows had to say I was so tired I fell asleep. After a pause he add- ed, It's no wonder your father thought me a tramp for I certainly was dirty. At that time I didn't even know that it was your father who was to be robbed, and I did not let you know my name when I return- ed the jewels for I was afraid it would adorn the paper in that news article written about the attempted robbery. I hate noto- rietyf' In the months which followed a great friendship was formed between the two, which finally ended with Leels saying, Virginia, I want your promise to wait for two years, for a certain tramp and detect- ive, who, during that time, can roam about and collect a fortune, so that he may be able to build a home where his daughter may also find her love under the stairs. Will you, dear? Yes, answered Virginia, softly. And did it ever occur to you, dear read- er, that Virginia isn't a nice name at all unless connected with Lee? So Virginia found Lee. Hail, Virginia Lee! -Velma Weis, 10-A. THE TWO CREMONAS. At last, my Cremonas are completed! Nowhere in the world can they be com- pared in sound and tone quality. But, ah, although the best two years of my life have been spent in perfecting these pre- cious instruments, they will pass into hands that are unworthy. I will not be her to care any -. Maria, come quick. Maria! I am dying! But Maria came too late. The master violin-maker had passed on to the enfold- ing arms of his Heavenly Maker. Angelo Vivalli had left his financial af- fairs in such a poor state that Maria was compelled to offer for sale the two precious Cremonas. There came one day to the little shop, Leonardo de Capelli, a struggling violin- ist, and his friend, Count Marcello Pipetto. Many and many a time had the Count of- fered money to Capelli to engage a studio, but it was always refused on the ground that some day, perhaps, Capelli would have more need of this money. For a long time, Capelli and Pipetto had been visiting the little shop. To-day when they arrived, they were heartbroken to hear of the death of their dear friend. Maria told them about the Cremonas. Ah, the Cremonas-what will become of them now ? sighed Capelli. Have you seen them, Senor Capelli? Do you want them, and will you care for them ? asked Maria. f'Seen them? Ah, Senora, how I would cherish them as my dearest friends! But, a'as, I have not the money. Capelli, if I should oiiier to pay for the instruments, would you accept my aid? I am sure you could repay with interest in a short timef' said the Count. Caro amico, I long for those Cremonas, as I long for nothing else.. I accept your aid, and will repay the money as soon as I am able. The Cremonas were purchased for a low price, as the master said they would be, but Maria had the money she needed, and a musician had his long-desired posses- sion. If only the master knew that the violins had passed into hands that were destined to make the Cremonas immortal! Five years have passed. What changes time has brought! People from every country in the world are crowding the music halls of Italy to hear the great Leo- nardo di Capelli play. He is what he longed to be-the great master violinist. Never in the ages of man has there been heard such sweetness, such volume of tone, such technique! And his Cremona! It is be- yond ccmparel It is a heavenly instru- ment! f'Bravo! Bravo! Bis! Bis! Encore! En- core! shouts the audience. Never had the Milan Opera House witnessed such storms of applause, such shouting, such waving of handkerchiefs, such throwing of flowers! Leonaro di Capelli had again achieved success. As he bowed, one blood red rose fell on the strings of his Cremona. Quickly he picked it up and hid it in his pocket. Later in the evening, Count Pipetto brought into the artist's room and pre- sented to Capelli, Mr. John Richardson, a wealthy American, and his daughter, Lor- rame. Mr. Capelli, I have brought my daugh- ter to Italy for the purpose of studying with you. I have heard it is difficult to ar- range for lessons and, I pray you, do not 60 g SESAME , p be too hasty in denying me my request. Ah, M'sieur Richardson, it is with hardship, to explain the reason why I have rejected so many students. I do not work for the money, I work for art. If my student is an artist, I do everythingg if he is cold, like a statue, I send him away. It is quite true, you send some students away, Capelli, interrupted the Count, but I have heard Mlle. Richardson play in the United States and I am sure you will find her an artist. During this speech, Capelli had been glancing at Lorraine and he noticed with somewhat of a start that she wore a cor- sage of blood red roses. Wake up, Capelli--too much glamour, said the Count. No, nog caro amico-too many red roses, was the answer. The result of the meeting was that Lor- raine was to come for a lesson the follow- ing day. Bravo, Mlle., grazia! What style. What technique! But in America there is no what we call esprit de coeur. That, Mile.. no one can teach you, for it comes only from the heart. Thus Lorraine had her first lesson from a great Maestro. More followed. Strange as it may seem, the first lesson was the be- ginning of a great love between Lorraine and Capelli. Soon Lorraine possessed more enthusiasm, and more of that something which crowds the music hall. Capelli, very timid and bashful when it came to women, finally confessed his love to Lorraine. It was a true, pure and sin- cere love and it did not come with wild Hatteries and silly sayings, which usually accompany the love proposals of Italian gentlemen, as we think. On the evening that their engagement was announced, Capelli presented Lorraine with the mate of his Cremona. Guard it well, cara mia, for it is price- less. No other Cremona will ever com- pare with this one and mine. Never will another Cremona be made like it, for the secret of its production died with the old maker. This evening was also important and sacred to Lorraine for another reason. She was to make her first debut in a Milan opera house. Such excitement! Such sus- pense until she was to appear before the crowded hall, for the people had learned Lorraine Richardson was a pupil of the great Leonardo di Capelli, who was seated in the gallery so that he might hear clear- ly and distinctly every note of the violin. Lorraine was on the platform. She was playing an encore-Kreisler's Caprice Vi- ennoi.se -a terrific crash. Shouts, wailings and meanings intermingled with falling plaster and debris-then oblivion. When Capelli regained consciousness in a hospital, he called for Lorraine. Due to his precarious condition, Capelli could not be told that Lorraine Richardson was re- ported on the death list. After six weeks in the hospital, Capelli learned the truth. This was his breaking point. After bid- ding farewell to his dear friend, Count Pi- petto, he immediately set sail for America, thinking that here among new scenes he could ind rest. But the memory of Lorr- raine haunted him. He lost the pupils he had. He became despondent, lost all desire to play, and sank to the lowest depths of poverty. The scene is in a dingy attic, with a chair, a table and a pile of straw for fur- niture. The room, if it might be called such, was lighted by a piece of candle. A man can be seen sitting on the chair with a violin in his hands. We look again and, much to our surprise, we recognize this and man, with the haggard expression shabby clothes, to be the once great Leo- nardo di Capelli. But, hark, he speaks! Ah, you have been a faithful friend to me all these years, old fellow. In my sor- row and trouble you have remained near me. Now I am starving. I could sell you, and get food to satisfy my hunger. All I need to do is to run down the steps into the little shop, hand you over the counter and I will have-six hundred dollars. I will sell you. You are but a piece of wood and four strings. You cannot see, you cannot feel, you cannot be hungry. Suddenly he snatched up the violin, and and a soft, low, murmuring tone was heard. I believe you can feel, old fellow, you do know that I am starving. Do you re- member the time when we had everything, when we had Italy at our feet? Do you re- member that blood red rose, which fell on your strings, long ago? Do you remem- ber the person who threw it? This, will not bring me bread! I must sell you, for I cannot die, yet. Wildly he snatched up the violin again and the same murmuring tone was heard, but now it is accompanied by a deep, low tone. The expression on the man's face changed. He seized the bow, placed the Cremona under his chin and commenced to n SESAME 6 I play. At first the music was Andante Pastoralef' Soft and low strains were emitted from the priceless instrument. Gradually the music became louder and more animated, the artist seemed to have awakened from a beautiful dream until, at last, wild, unrestrained melodies issued forth from the violin. The musician was beyond control-then he fell, face down- ward, the Cremona crashing into tiny bits under his weight. For two hours the man lay there, then a knocking at the door. No response. The knocking became louder, and the door opened to reveal Count Marcello Pipetto. Surprise, dismay, horror! You, my dear Leonardo, come, speak to to me I whispered the Count. Calling his valet, they tenderly carried Capelli to an automobile which was stand- ing before the house. Capelli remained in this state of coma for five weeks, but un- der the nursing and attendance, supplied by the Count, he regained his health. The Count, realizing that travel would divert Capelli's mind from his terrible ex-- perience, went with him to London. Returning one night from the opera, Capelli and Pipetto were horrified to see their hotel on fire. The people had all been taken from the building and were stand- ing on the opposite side of the street, view- ing the cruel tongues of fire doing their destructive work. My Cremona, it will be lost! Save my Cremonall' Capelli became ashen pale. He caught the sleeve of his friend in a painful grip. Dio mio, am I dreaming? The Cre- mona-my Lorraine ? Count Pipetto, who had also heard the voice, turned about to face Mr. Richard- son. But Capelli was quicker. Senor Richardson-the room! Four hundred, Capelli, but for God's sake, man, don't venture! His Words were of no avail, for Capelli had already dashed into the cruel iiames. Some few moments elapsed. In front of the building stood Lorraine, Pipetto and Mr. Richardson-breathless. In a little time, Capelli, hugging the dear Cremona to his breast, staggered from the build- ing and fell at their feet in utter exhaus- tion. A few days later, when Capelli had re- covered, he and Pipetto went to the Rich- ardson's. Here, much to their despair. they learned that the nervous shack and the fright of the fire had robbed Lorraine of her memory. It was a terrible trial to Capelli when he learned that his Lorraine did not know him. How fickle are the ways of life! He was on the summit of happiness, in a moment he was in the depths of despair. The medical profession failed in their attempts to restore Lorraine's memory. Various remedies were prescribed, but of no avail. As Capelli, despondent and heartbroken, sat beside Lorraine's couch, he noticed her Cremona. He picked up the dear instru- ment, and then stroked it fondly, saying: You can see, you can speak, you can feel. Talk to her of my love, bring back my Lorraine, give her back her precious memory. He played. The Cremona spoke to Lor- rainel -Miriam Kirkel, 12-A. CIVILIZATION. What is Civilization? For many ages and in many countries, this word has been in constant use and people have attached to it ideas more or less clear. Let us take an example of a people whose life is easy and full of physical comfortg justice is well administered for their pri- vate needs-in a word, life for them is happy and well regulated. But, on the other hand, the intellectual and moral ex- istence of this people is kept in a state of inactivity. They are treated as a flock of sheep, well-kept and happy, but without moral and intellectual activity. Does this picture represent civilization? Immediately we say, UNO. Why? Be- cause the first idea which presents itself when civilization is thought of is prog- ress-a people marching forward to better their condition. What is this progress? This, to explain, is the greatest difficulty of all. The derivation of the word might an- swer this in a satisfactory manner: Civili- zation is the perfecting of civil life, the development of society or of the relations of men among themselves. Civilization contains two facts: the de- velopment of social activity and that of individual activity. On one side the prog- ress of society, on the other that of hu- manity. Let us attempt to follow up this process of civilization. Man before he approached civilization passed through the stages of savagery and barbarism. The records, 62 SESAME L which we have of man, date back 7,000 years, when men were naked, tireless, houseless, lacked tools and weapons, could not write, and had nothing but their own hands and brains to secure food and pro- tect themselves from animals. Little by little man learned to secure food from plants and animals, to make weapons and tools from stone, bone and wood, he lived in a cave or rock shelter and although he wore little or no clothing still the savage showed a marked advance in the culture of man. To trace the progress of man it is nec- essary to go back five or six thousand years, when the Egyptians began cultivat- ing the soil, building roads, developing mines and keeping records, which is one of the most wonderful things the human race has to show for its thousands of years of struggle. By means of these written able to records, called histories, we are know everything that men have done in past times. In the ancient Orient many people help- ed to develop civilizations-the Egyptians, Babylonians, Hebrews, Phoenicians, As-- syrians and Persians. The social conditions in the Orient were not well developed. The ipeople knew only monarchial rule, the nobles took part in government and en- joyed life, while the artisans and peasants could scarcely keep their families from starvation. To-day these conditions are different. The people of Greece also made impor- tant contributions to civilization, espec- ially in government and art. Although Athens, the chief city of Greece, was a democracy, class rule still dominated, citi- zenship was given to a limited number of people and the states belonging to the Delian League were badly mistreated, be- cause of the absence of a representative system. Later, however, when the Achean League was formed, the government took on more of a democratic look, for a repre- sentative system was provided for, and an assembly met, chose a general, levied tax- es and conducted foreign affairs and raised armies, the cities were independent in regard to local matters. This organiza- tion was not merely an alliance of states but the first genuine federation and its example was cited by the American states- men who helped frame our constitution. The next civilizing people to make them- selves known were the Romans. The Roman world was a mixture of Greek, Oriental, and Roman civilization. Citizen- ship was grantedg wonderful highways were built, bridges and aqueducts were erected and fortifications were built to keep the peace. Large cities grew in all parts of the empire, among which com- merce iiourished. The two most important contributions of the Romans to civilization are Law and Language. From the twelve tables the Roman Law developed into The Body of the Civil Law, to which the laws of France, Germany and the United States owe some of their principles. The Latin language developed into what are called the romance languages-French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese and Rumanian. During the first 500 years of the Middle Ages, the civilization of the world tended to decline, but during the latter part and the Renaissance period, changes took place for the better in society, law and govern- ment, science, philosophy, literature and art. The latter part of the middle ages saw the rise of strong national states, the replacing of Feudalism as a system of gov- ernment, the growth of cities, the decline and gradual extinction of serfdom, and the commercial progress which followed the Crusades. One of the most important things ac- coplished during the Renaissance Period was the invention of printing. The inven- tion of printing destroyed the monopoly of learning. Printed books could be multi- plied more rapidly than written manu- scripts. It was printing that made possi- ble popular public education, public li- braries and cheap newspapers. The print- ing press was the force that did away with ignorance and aided greatly in the prog- ress of our civilization. With the Renais- sance arose music, painting, sculpture and architecture. The discovery of America and a sea route to the Indies, which also took place during this period of revival, resulted in the shifting of commercial ac- tivity from the Mediterranean and Baltic Seas to the Atlantic Ocean. - From then on the march of civilization has been varied, profitable and rapid. Rail- marine cable and the wireless keep the countries in constant communication. The oceans which many years ago served as barriers, now serve us as highways and unite East and West, Orient and Occident. Commerce and finance are internationalg capital can be invested not only at home but in foreign countries as well, trade unionism, labor legislation and socialism are now common to all the world. National isolation has disappeared as new ideas and ideas tour the globe. SESAME 63 Nations read one another's books and profit by their discoveries and inventions. The people of modern times have devel- oped an international conscience, which emphasizes the duties of thestrong toward the weak and protests against the oppres- sion of any.. This feeling of human brother- hood, once limited in prehistoric times to the members of one's clan, and in medieval times to one's city or state, has now ex- panded to include all mankind. Invention has been the chief agent in man's advance from savagery to civiliza- tion. In prehistoric times, man slowly learned to preserve his hands, feet and teeth by using tools. From the tool it was only one short step to the machine. The most modern types of machines are those which are driven by natural forces-steam, gas, electricity and water. By means of invention man has advanced from Nat- ure's slave to Nature's conqueror. The tools, which prehistoric man used included levers and rollers, sails and ruddersg the plow and the wheeled cart, the needle and the potteris wheel, for spinning, the dis- taff and spindle, and the loom for weaving. In ancient and medieval times little addi- tions were added to this list and it was only in the Fifteenth Century that the compass, paper and movable type were in- vented. The Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries produced the te'esc'ipe, ther- mometer, barometer and he clock, while the last few centuries have seen the arrival of the cotton gin, steam engine, gas engine, automobile, electric cars, steamboats, air- planes, submarines, electric light, etc. Methods of communication have also improved-from the messenger in ancient times to the telegraph, telephone, postal service and newspapers of to-day. Commerce has greatly expanded as a result of improvements in transportation and communication. Good roads, inland and ship canals, ocean steamships and railroads, have greatly reduced the freight rates, while the telegraph, telephone. cheap postage and newspapers has resulted in the rapid spread of information regarding crops and markets. Let us now take a few marked compari- sons to show what civilization has accom- plished. From the naked diver of years ago we have progressed to the submarine. From the message carrier, who might cover two miles in an hour and twenty minutes we have progressed to the wire- less telegraph, which goes around the earth seven times in one second. From a cold cave on a hillside, we have progressed to skyscrapers with steam heat, electric lights and electric elevators. Now, if we were asked the question, Does THIS picture represent Civiliza- tion ? our answer would surely be Yes.', And yes it is, because we HAVE pro- gressed, but--there is still room for improvement. We are still very imper- fect, so let us not be content with our pres- ent civilization but strive on for perfec- tion-A PERFECT CIVILIZATION. -Albert Leven, 10-B. AT THE CROSSROADSF' It was surely an impressive occasion- that commencement of the June gradu- ating class. To James McConnell it seemed that his glee club and he himself had never sung so superblyg that the crowd, which filled the hall to overflowing was appreci- ative to a degree, that he had been at his best when, in splendid language and with fine voice, he spoke the valedictory. It was thought that the President of the college had closed his speech when he paused and looked impressively around the audience. He was merely gathering breath and rivet- ing attention for a climax with which he clinched his splendid baccalaureate. Young men, he said, this one thing know! This one thing remember! No mat- ter how deep you dive, how high you rise, how far you shine-you are dismal fail- ures unless you have a heart full of faith and trust in God, your Creator, and use your God-given powers and opportunities to scatter blessings among sin-lost men. Then he closed his address. It was at this moment when, amid deep silence, Jim heard himself being called to preach the Gospel. and to him it seemed as if the hall with all its flags, pennants and massive audience below was soaked up by a purple mist. He thought he saw, in that purple mist floating about him, a vision of a white form with one hand lifted up in a gesture of command, and from that white form came a voice, saying: Come, and follow me ! The diploma in his grasp, the vision be- fore him, he, at that moment, reached a decision as to his future. It was the min- istry, the apostolate of the soul-saving Gospel! When the commencement exercises were over the crowd was pouring from the audi- torium upon the campus. Well, my boy, someone said to Jim on the campus, you have made up you mind, 64 SESAME of course, as to what to do with yourself now that you are through with college and books. It was Jim's uncle that was speaking. He was a childless man, with whom busi- ness had taken the place of sons and daugh- ters-and church and God. The electric apparatus produced in his factories found sale at home and abroad. Now the time had come when the successful old uncle needed the staff of a younger life to lean upon. When he saw the self-possessed per- son of his nephew on the platform, with power passing from him to his audience through word and gesture, his mind was made up as to who his successor would be. Why, yes, Uncle Harry, was Jim's sudden reply, I have reached a definite decision just since this morning. I am go- ing to take up the ministry. The ministry, echoed his uncle, I thought you had given up that fool idea long ago. But, you see, Uncle Harry, it is mv parents' long cherished hope and, still more, my personal desire, Jim endeavored to explain. , Pshaw, Jim, that's ridiculous. A pow- erful young chap like you go into the min- istry? It is a great industrial magnate that you are meant for, in other words, my factory is the place for you. General manager of the H. J. McConnell Electrical Manufacturing Plant-that's it, Jim, my boy, he added, tapping- him on the shoul- der encouragingly. Jim forced a smile of gratification and was about to add further emphasis to his previous decision when his uncle broke in ahead of him. Here's my offer, Jim, think of it. Say -well, say a full course in electrical en- gineering at the University of Michigan, a fine automobile of your own choice, right now as a gift for graduation and then, when you are fully prepared, I want you to step in and be my general manager. Now, how's that, Jim, for a starter? What do you say ?', Without a moment's pause and with in- creasing fervor, he added, Become a min- ister and you will be the chuckle-head and slave of your unappreciative congregation. Accept my offer and you will have wealth and power at your command. Jim saw the gleam of gold and the lure of power as his uncle spoke, and the vision that had come to him in the hour gone by became dim. Before his uncle had turned his touring car toward his Eastern home, he had received his nephew's consent to his proposition. His uncle's offer had crowded aside the heavenly vision. Scarcely had his uncle disappeared in his glittering machine when Rena, his childhood comrade and former classmate at high school, came running up to him, smiling with perfect pride and joy. It was unnecessary for her to tell him how proud she was of him. Splendidl was all she whispered, yet that expressed everything. Jim thanked her and greeted her cor- dially, asking a few hurried questions about his old home town and his old friends. As they walked across the camp- us together they chatted cheerfully about the old school days, especially of their high school career. He was gayly address- ing her as Buddy , her nickname since their earliest associations. Finally their conversation led up to the present hour. He remembered the commencement program, the hearty applause of his eager audience and finally about his uncle and that glit- tering proposition. His brow darkened but yet he chatted on, stopping now and then to exchange a word of greeting with his fellow-graduates and friends. By the way, Jim, you haven't told me yet in which theological seminary you are going to matriculatef' eagerly inquired Rena. Too bad your father and mother couldn't be here, poor souls, but they will be so proudg especially so after you be- come an ordained minister. Jim's brow darkened again. This sub- ject seemed to annoy him deeply-in fact, it was just the thing he tried to escape from telling her. He didn't just know why, either. Well, you see now, Rena, it's just this way, he muttered, haltingly. You see, I've changed my mind. I am going into business on a splendid offer from my Uncle Harry. He just proposed this offer to me this morning before I met you here. He then proceeded to repeat his uncle's words. Again the vision of power and wealth rose beaconingly before him. He felt his imagination carry him off into the future. He saw himself being greeted and lauded as a great industrial magnate, liv- ing in luxury and power. Unconsciously he was murmuring his thoughts of this vision aloud, but to Rena, who was silently walking by his side, his words meant nothing-they fell upon deaf ears. Her sense of appreciation and pride in him were now wavering. All through the years of their past experiences and as- sociations she had found pride and joy in A SESAME p 65 sharing his happy dreams while they, to- gether, built their air castles in Spain. He always spoke so enthusiastically of his future as an ordained minister of the Gos- pel and of his ambitions to sew the seed of righteousness among his sin-cursed fellow creatures. Now, to Rena's amazement, he was dreaming of wealth and worldly power -shunning the glorious ambition of his childhood dreams-forgetting, almost en- tirely, the pride of his parents as they looked forward to the fulfillment of their cherished hopes for which they labored and sacrificed, all for Jimmie's sake. Jim, she was saying pleadingly, have you really decided this matter fairly. Have you considered your dear, sacrificing par- ents in reaching this fatal decision ? Her thoughts came too fast for utter- ance. All she could say was, Jim, I am sorry that I cannot share this joy with you. It seems so unfair. You are robbing the world of the happiness you were meant to bring it and instead you are thinking only of your personal desires, which are really evils in disguise. You are at the crossroads of your life's journey, Jim dear, and your decision means every- thing to you and those who love you. Here her voice broke and she could say no more. I am sorry, Rena, that my sudden change of mind makes you so unhappy. But, I am afraid you do not understand just how much this will mean to me. At first, when Uncle Harry mentioned it, I thought he was mad to speak so after he knew that I meant to become a minister. Strange that I should become convinced so suddenly by him as to the many advan- tages of a business career such as his. Here, James felt his conscience leading him back to the thought of his parents and their possible disappointment or dis- approval of the matter. But he hastened to overcome this pressing thought by add- ing, I will write father this evening and tell him about my new ambition, so he and mother can think it over before I arrive home. I feel sure they will agree with Uncle Harry that I can make a great suc- cess in this business and especially with Uncle Harry's help and-why, just think, Rena, my success will mean the end of their toil and daily cares out on the little farm and they can spend their remaining days in luxurious comfort and happiness. By this time Jim had erased all opposi- tion and discomfort from his mind and could see now only the distant hopes and realizations of his success. His sudden happiness was so overwhelming that he could not stop to consider others' happi- ness. In a few years, seemingly brief, we find Jim prepared for his position in his uncle's business. After a few years, when Jim was ascending the path to success as man- ager, his uncle died and bequeathed all his worldly wealth to his nephew. With this sudden blaze of fortune he soon became a distinguished millionaire, who boasted of senators and foreign nobility as his per- sonal friends. By this time, however, his parents had died and laid at rest near the old home- stead where they chose to remain in pref- erence to Jim's magnificent home. Rena was now teaching school in the little town where the children honored and reverenced the name of James McConnell, the multi- millionaire, who had given their little town so much publicity through his vast fortune. However, to Rena's aching heart this honor and reverence only added to her sorrow for Jim and his dead parents, both of whom she loved and comforted until their death. Mr. James lVIcConnell Hourished amid his friends and luxurious surroundings. He had, in his crowning success, forgotten about his childhood sweetheart and had married a charming young woman reared in luxury and wealth. He was happy- yes, happy as the world terms it but only Jim knew, as he grew to a ripe old age and felt his worldly power fastly fading, that his soul was uneasy. As he sat dreaming in his large, luxurious study-room, he would hear a distant voice saying, Come, and follow me. A few years previous to this time his wife had died, after a trip abroad, and now Jim was alone, uneasy, and in the same position as his Uncle Harry was when Jim was just at the crossroads of his life. The thought of this brought forth the memory of his childhood sweetheart, Rena Brandt- ly, and now, only now, did he realize how loyal she had been and what a joy she would have proven to be to his life if only he had not been so intensely blinded to the greater deeds of life by the lure of wealth and position. It maddened him to realize his utterly depressed moral condition and his grief increased daily. Finally, after much mental agony and distress he was conquered by his better self and made to see new hopes by which to paint a golden sunset on the remainder of his life. The following day he set out for Conleyville, his home town and made preparations for 66 SESAME the repairing and slight remodeling of his old homestead, the last tangible thing of his childhood days. His new surroundings brought him back to the joys of Christian fellowship and peace, and soon made the retired business magnate the attraction of the town--but in a very different way than formerly. He was reinstated in the little church which afterwards he replaced at his entire expense, with a brick edifice, where he encouraged the youth of the town to labor in the Vineyards of their Master and thus spared them from the lure of wealth and power by which he was enticed away. Thus did James McConnell beautify the Christian lives of his fellowmen by the un- fortunate experience of his own life, and thus, too, did he close his life with the sweet splendour of a golden sunset. -Erna W. Tretschok, 12-A. THOUGHTS OF A PASSING SENIOR. Though I have to get up early, and I have to be on time, But there's nothing like it, brother, nothing-not in any line. I sit in class and wonder where I'll be this time next year, And I end up every time by thinking, that I'll wish that I were here. You know when you're a Freshie, you don't think much a'tall, And by the time that you're a Sophomore you think you know it ALL, And when you get to be a Junior at the dances you appear, You stand up straight and scintillate: I have a right to be here! 1 4 5 u L , . I an 1 . Then when you're a Senior, if you last that long, You'll look back and wonder if you ever did wrong And sure as you're a-living you could rectify A lot of things you Ccasuallyj let slip by. I'm not handing you a sermon, don't like them much myself, Just a brief suggestion, brother-put this on the shelf, And when you're feeling kinda' careless, haphaz- ard, fmaybe bluej, Read this over, DO YOUR WORK, and remem- ber-THIS WAS WRITTEN JUST FOR YOU! -Alice Shaw, '23.

Gerwig, secretary of the Board of Public Education, was with us at the concert given by the Music Clubs for the patrons of the school. Dr. Gerwig ad- dressed the audience and in definite words announced that bids for the work of com- pleting South Hills High School building would soon be open to contractors and that actual work on the building would begin next Fall. This announcement was received with much enthusiasm and the lower classmen of our present enrollment are looking for- ward to the pleasure of using the complet- ed building in the Fall of 1924. STUDENTS FROM THE W. P. I. B. . ENTERTAIN US. Much interest in the work of the West- ern Pennsylvania School for the Blind re- sulted from the visit of Mr. Joyce, super- intendent of the school, and four of the students. Mr. Joyce told us something of the work of the school and its alumni. Two years ago one of the graduates of this school finished at Pitt with honor. She now has charge of the literary department at the Westinghouse Broadcasting Station, KDKA, In this position she selects much of the material for broadcasting and instructs the broadcasters in enunciation. She has created the position and has be- come most efficient in it. The object of the school is to turn out self-supporting citizens. A group of girls from the school organ- ized a club called The Saturday Evening Club, which gives short plays. The money thus earned helps to support six children in China. Three members of that club entertained the assembly by presenting Suppressed Desires, a short play in two scenes. The characters of the play were- Stephen Brewster ..........................,.,.,, Clara Cabness Henrietta, Steve's wife .............. Stella Mathews Mable, Henriettafs sister ...... Katherine Blackmore Henrietta Brewster, a young wife easily iniiuenced by new fads, becomes interested in psycho-analysis. It is a science which proves that everybody has a suppressed desire for something, although the per- son does not know exactly what. This de- sire shows itself in his actions, conversa- tions and dreams. Henrietta tries to convince her husband and also her young married sister that each of them has a suppressed desire and that it is a duty to find out what it is. Although Henrietta was a faithful be- liever in this new science, she was willing to give up all thought of it when it struck home. This play was a complete success. Each of the participants was just as certain of every move and action as a person with the best of sight. The stage being un- familiar was no drawback to them. Many students in the audience could not think that Clara Cabness, who played the role of Henrietta's husband, was blind. The nat- ural way in which she held the newspaper and pretended to read, was amazing. When the imaginary curtain went down at the end of the first scene, Annabelle Carter, another accomplished member of the school, played three selections on the piano. The fact that two of these were encores shows how much her work was appreciated. The girls taking part in this unusual en- tertainment should be highly compliment- ed upon their success. The three Yeas for the W. P. I. B. were most hearty and enthusiastic. JUNIOR Ais Vs. JUNIOR B's DEBATE IN ASSEMBLY. A debate between the Junior Classes was held Monday, March 26, 1923. The question for discussion was- Resolved: That the Pittsburgh Coun- cil should repeal the daylight-saving ordi- nance. Since this debate was directed by the Literary Club, Miss Baehmer acted as chairman. The debaters were- JUNIOR A-AFFIRMATIVE - Daniel Dailey, Ruth Greenberg, John McNair. JUNIOR B-N E G A T I V E-Fannie Long, John Nichols, Lawrence Dietrick. The judges were Mr. Laning, Miss Wen- zell and Mr. Zehfuss. The aiiirmative debaters in summing up their side brought out that daylight sav- ing is harmful to the majority, that it causes confusion and financial loss and that it is harmful to us individually. They also said that it is desired by the capital- istic minority and not by the laborers, who need the hour for sleep. The negative side claimed that daylight saving is for the general welfare of the people, that the laborer needs the extra hour for healthful exercise and that ad- SESAME 69 hering to standard time would seriously inconvenience the bankers. The debaters also reasoned that daylight saving means a conservation of natural resources and a reduction of eye strain. The rebuttal was very interesting. The vote of the judges was unanimously in favor of the affirmative. ,1 SENIOR DEBATE. At the Junior-Senior Assembly, April 16, 1923, the Senior B's debated with the Senior A's. The question was: Resolved: That, without considering expense, a small college is preferable to a large college. It was felt that the discussion of this question would prove beneficial, since all the students needed more information in regard to the relative advantages of small and large colleges. The Senior B members who upheld the aflirmative were Miss Martha Motycka, Mr. Lewis Evans and Mr. Eugene Davis. The Senior A members debating the negative side were Mr. John Slayton, Miss Lillie Hudepohl, Mr. Willard Laning. Miss Wenzell, Mrs. Hayes and Mr. Zeh- fuss were appointed judges. The returns of the votes were two to one in favor of the atiirmative. This success for the Senior B's means another debate- in the near future with the Junior A's, who proved successful in their debate against the Junior B's. FINAL DEBATE. On Monday, May 14, 1923, at Senior As- sembly, the final debate of a series of three debates was presented by the Junior A's and the Senior B's. All others had been eliminated frcm the contest. Much en- thusiasm was aroused over this debate be- cause it was the one which would deter- mine the championship for inter-class de- bates in our school. The question for discussion that morning was- , Resolved: That the City of Pittsburgh should be empowered to annex the con- tiguous boroughs. Mr. Willard Laning, Jr., president of the Literary Club, presided. The Senior B's supported the affirmative of the question, while the Junior A's supported the nega- tive. The speakers for the aflirmative were Martha Motycka, David Bowers and Louis Evans. K The speakers for the negative were Daniel Dailey, Ruth Greenberg and John McNair. Harold Cooley served as alternate for the affirmative, and Howard Stewart was the alternate for the negative. The judges for the debate were Miss Effie MacMillan, Mr. E. R. Carson and Mr. W. P. Allen. At the close of the debate, all were eager to hear the decision of the judges. Mr. Allen relieved the anxiety by announ- cing a 2-to-1 vote in favor of the negative. It was very evident throughout the en- tire debate that both the affirmative and the negative were well informed on the subject. The speakers were interesting because they all had their material well at hand. Good sportsmanship was dis- played throughout the entire debate and hearty congratulations were extended to the Junior A's, who now hold the cham- pionship in our school. SALESMANSHIP COURSE. The Salesmanship Course, so far as South Hills High School is concerned, is yet in its infancy. Each semester we note marked improvement in enrollment, as well as in type and course of study. The enrollment increases as large numbers of our student body come to the realization that they must prepare themselves for the industrial phase of life after their high school course has been completed. Not only do we use the best available type of text-book in trying to broaden our concep- tion of human nature, but we also procure the practical benent obtained by working in the various large department stores of our own city. Besides affording the op- portunity of getting practical experience in the line of selling, the Salesmanship Course teaches us to deal with problems presented in every-day life. In order to give those to whom the Salesmanship Course is unfamiliar a clear conception of the work involved in the course we present the following interest- ing schedule for the week. Monday--Experience Day. All students who are employed on Saturdays in any store, whether in a selling or non-selling pcsition. give to the class what they have gained as to practical work and campare the situations presented on that day with that theoretical knowledge which we have previously gained in class. Tuesday-Text-Book Assignment. On this day we study and discuss subjects set forth by Dr. W. W. Charters from his 70 SESAME C book, How to Sell at Retail, and Norton's book on Retail Selling. Wednesday --Magazine Day. The day that we have notes dictated which are aft- erwards placed in individual notebooks. Thursday-This is the DAY! Topics from newspapers, magazines and adver- tisements and demonstration sales are pre- sented by each individual member of the class. Critics are chosen, and constructive as well as destructive criticism is offered. Friday-Free Day. Used as study period. We wish to convey the idea that any person desiring to become more familiar with different phases of human nature should, by all means, have at least one year of Salesmanship, for if you never have any occasion to be a salesman the knowledge gained will be greatly bene- ficial. Salesmanship is selling goods that will not come back, to customers that will. Now, since we have given you a rather definite idea of what makes up the sales- manship course, we believe you would be interested in hearing about some of the very good Demonstration Sales which were given in the two Salesmanship Classes on May 31. One sale, which required quite a great deal of preparation, was performed much to the satisfaction of all who were privi- leged to see it, by three members of the Salesmanship I Class-Miss Helene Adams acting as salesperson, Miss Norma Milli- gan, the customer, and Mr. David Van Dyke, the customer's naughty little boy. The sale took place in a jewelry depart- ment and the particular thing being dis- played was ear-rings. The sale was many times interrupted because of the child making comments on the various displays of ear-rings, his wanting some candy and his desire to leave the store and go home, but the sale finally closed with the pur- chasing of a pair of ear-rings for the sum of 36.50. The woman left the store a satis,- iied customer, the salesperson was pleased with having made the sale, and the child was delighted to know that he could now go home and get some candy. All in all, the sale was an excellent one, and anyone who is not able to visit the theater once in a while should just make it a point to see some of the Demonstration Sales put on by the Salesmanship Classes, for they afford entertainment as well as the gaining of experience and knowledge. Mr. Lynn Morrow and Mr. Oliver Wyant completed a very successful sale in a hat department. Mr. Morrow, as salesman, had every good quality that one in that po- sition should have. His approach was good, his selling points were well planned, and his closing of the sale was excellently carried out. On the other hand Mr. Wy- ant, as customer, gave us the actions of the typical expert purchaser-one who knows what he wants and is not satisfied until he finds that thing. Mr. Cooley has already succeeded in se- curing his maps showing location, etc., and he has become fully acquainted with the situation. His selling points were well planned and in answering objections Mr. Cooley proved that he is some day to be a successful agent of the United States Realty or the Freehold Realty Company. At this time of the year when parties are a common occurence, we find the no- tion departments very busy selling favors. Miss Saperstein brought with her to class a selection of favors and successfully acted as saleslady of this department. Mr. Mac- Featers, an acquaintance of Miss Saper- stein's, by chance happens into the depart- ment to purchase favors for a party to be held in honor of his sister, Marie, with whom Miss Saperstein is acquainted. The best feature of this sale was the iine dis- play of suggestive selling-first, the sug- gestion that Mr. MacFeaters buy candy in another department of the storeg second- ly, that he should purchase napkins and crepe paper in the notion department in which she was to be working. So far we have given you the events of four sales, each occurring in a different type of department, and now we have one more in still a different line of work. Mr. Bradshaw, our accomplished musician, took the part of a salesman in the musical instrument department, while Mr. Zahn- iser, the son of a rich gentleman, who de- sired to take up the art of playing some wind instrument, was the customer. Being young and inexperienced, the customer was willing to take advice, and so Mr. Bradshaw, knowing his selling points so well that he could have said them back- wards as well as up-side-down, finally suc- ceeded in convincing Mr. Zahniser that a clarinet was just the thing for him. The sale was successfully brought to a close, satisfactory terms were agreed upon, sug- gestions were made by salesman as to where the boy could receive instructions, and the customer left the department with the feeling that his money had been well invested, and that he would readily learn to play the clarinet.

The Virgil Club has had a considerable increase in numbers since last semester- from five to eleven. We expect to have still more next year. We feel that we would like the students, especially the Latin students, to know more about the Virgil Club. lt is com- posed of those who are reading Virgil, or fourth-year Latin. The Aeneid tells of the fall of Troy, the wanderings of Aeneas, the hero, and his founding a kingdom in Italy. Also, we read selections from Ovid's NMa!- amorphosesf' which tell many of the old myths in an interesting way. Once a month we have a club meeting. We have programs, with games, and once a little Latin play. At the last meeting, the program, planned entirely by the com- mittee, was given wholly in Latin. Our president, Edward Miller, delivered a short address in Latin g the roll-call was answer- ed by an English proverb, then translated into Latin instead of vice versa, as usual' the minutes were read in Latin, there were a number of piano selections, a adeclama- Ho, and a game, following which was an impromptu talk in Latin by Miss Schmitz. As are all of our meetings, this one was enjoyed to the utmost. THE SPANISH CLUB. The Spanish Club has had three inter- esting programs since the Easter vacation. A Cervantes Day program was given bv the Senior Group on April 23, the anni- versary of the death of Spain's most fa- mous literary man. May 21 the finals in the play contest were held. The winning cast was composed of Helen Kinderman, Ruth McCall and Albert Curts, presenting The Double,Robbery. Miss Hankey and Mr. Ross, of the South Hills faculty. and Miss Hoopp, of the University of Pitts- burgh, acted as judges. Between plays there was music by the club. June 4 the Spanish ll's presented an original dramatization of Los Cuatro Her- manos, with two complete casts, under the management of Howard Stewart and William Stricker. The Spanish IV's acted as judges. A semi-chorus of girls fur- nished the music. LEADERS CLUB. The Leaders Club has a very enthusi- astic enrollment this season, composed of the highest type of students in South Hills High School. These girls proudly wear the pin that was recently selected as the insignia of the club, even though some have facetiously styled it a police badge. Our club had a swimming party one day after school at the Natatorium but because of cold Weather and conflicting dates the attendance was small. However, those who did go had one glorious time! The Leaders exhibited some of their pep when they hiked out to the summer home of the Eichleays' at Mt. Lebanon on Saturday, May 19. After a most instruct- ive walk out West Liberty Avenue, we were welcomed upon the Eichleay estate by Jerry, the dog. The shade of an old apple tree furnished a natural place in which to eat luncheon. Then, being in need of something to quench our thirst, a couple of girls Went in search of a spring which turned out to be several miles dis- tant. As they didn't return after a certain length of time had elapsed, several more girls went in search of them and finally, as they didn't return either, Miss Stevens and our president set out to look for all of them. To their relief, they found them all happily returning, having completely had their fill of good spring water, but, judg- ing from the appearance of one of the girls, she must have been so eager for a sip of water that she fell in the spring. Meanwhile, the rest of the girls were pick- ing violets, playing imitation baseball and taking pictures. Regretfully we took our departure from these spacious grounds to return home laden with Howers, sun- burn, freckles and pleasant thoughts of a perfect day. At the time of this write-up plans are completed for a council of all the Leaders Clubs of Pittsburgh on May 31 at Schenley High School. At this time Dr. Davidson will present three medals to the three best Leaders in each club. The Leaders elected from our club to receive this honor are llfgss Motycka, Miss Bishop and Miss Down- a . As the Leaders Club expands both in size and in influence you will hear more about this comparatively new organiza- tion. --H.

The Literary Club reorganized in Feb- ruary, electing the following officers: Wil- lard Laning, president: Marguerite V. Bahmer, vice-president, Helen Bishop, secretary. Interest was added to the club through the special program presented by teachers of our school, and Mr. Boudreau, Art di- rector of our schools. On May 5, Mrs. Hays gave us a talk on Crafts, bringing samples of the work done by Craft students. Our travelers, Miss Griffith and Miss White, spoke to us on May 12. Miss Grif- fith told us about her trip abroad, leaving The Passion Play for Miss White. On May 19, Mr. Boudreau, Art director of our schools, discussed the art exhibition at Carnegie Museum, under the title of A Trip Through Europe in an Hour. The 'following week, Miss White gave us a vivid picture of The Passion Play. The Literary Club gave a series of inter- class debates in Assembly. The first debate was between the Junior B's and Junior A's. The question was: Resolved: That City Council should re- peal the daylight-saving ordinance. The Junior B's upheld the negative, the affirm- ative was upheld by the Junior A's. The Junior A's won unanimously. The second debate was between the Senior B's and Senior A's. The question was: Resolved: That the small college offers greater advantages than the large, all financial considerations excluded. The negative was upheld by Senior B's, and the Senior Afs upheld the affirmative. The Senior B's won by a majority. The final debate which decided the champion team of debaters in South Hills was between the Junior A's and Senior B's. Question was: Resolved: That Pitts- burgh should be empowered to annex thc contiguous boroughs. The Senior B's upheld the affirmative, while the Junior A's upheld the negative. The Junior A's won by a majority. Though there were no inter-scholastic debates, interest in debate was renewed by these inter-class discussions. JUNIOR A NOTES. On April 24, 1923, all the Junior A girls interested in athletics were called together to elect a committee to take care of all class athletics for girls. Miss Olivia Steele, Miss Dorothy Brodeur, Miss lVlarion Voigt and Miss Madeline Ward were chosen. They immeditely began to work with Miss Stevens and they will no doubt keep things on the jump. Ask the Junior A's what happened on April 27, 1923. That was their Red Let- ter Dayf' They held their first big get- together affair, a class party, at the home of Elsie Davison, ninety of the class as- sembling at that time. All the guests were given a hearty re- ception and after everyone arrived the dancing began. Later, a recitation was given by Dan Dailey and one by Velma Weis. Then came solo dances by Helen Eichleay and Madeline Ward. Bill Mutsch- ler and Eddie McAllister imitated the fa- mous Mr. Gallagher and Mr. Shean. The orchestra was composed of talent from the class, with a few additions. After the program the dancing con- tinued until it was time for the eats, They were enjoyed by all and everyone was looking for a second helping. After the refreshments there was more dancing until it was time to go home. Just before leaving the class gave a yell to ex- press their appreciation of the kindness shown by the Davisons, Then everyone started happily homeward. The party- was considered a success and will be long re- membered by those who were there. Guess what happened on May 2, 1923? The Junior B's got revenge on the Junior A's by walloping them, 23 to 9, in the first baseball game between the two classes at Olympia Park. But, just wait, there are two more games coming. The Junior A's and Junior B's held the first inter-class picnic in the history of South Hills High School on May 29, 1923, at Eichleay's Country Home in Mt. Leb- anon. A fine program was presented by talent from both classes, after which those who wished to dance did so, while the oth- ers played ball. Then came the weiners, sandwiches, fruit and ice cream. More play and dancing, and as darkness ap- proached the guests began to leave, carry- ing with them happy memories of this first inter-class picnic.

The tree, a silver maple, was supplied by the Civic Club of Allegheny County, and was planted with a unique ceremony in which each member present was privileged to pass and throw a bit of earth into the hollow bed onto the roots. Each per- son thus participating was awarded a cer- tificate of membership in the American Tree Association, Washington, D. C. An interesting program, apropros the occasion, was rendered in connection with the planting. Miss Ruth Dierker presided. THE PROGRAM.

Another school year nears a close. To date fJune 13 it has been an unusually successful one, but not without effort for the Junior Board of Trade. The officers have been agressive and, with the mem- bers, alert. Our aims have been high, ihere has been no shrinking from duty, our deeds speak for themselves. On Friday, March 30, more than 75 Junior Boarders, chaperoned by our fac- ulty adviser, Mr. S. A. Ringer, made an educational visit to the plant of the H. J. Heinz Company. The sights seen and the observations made were very valuable and instructive, and a royal time was ours every minute. We have had repeated in- vitations to return for another inspection at a subsequent date which will, no doubt, be accepted next year. It is worth while. Monday, April 2-One hundred and twenty-five members made an all-day visit to the County Courts to witness court pro- cedure in action. Most of the time was spent in the court room of Judge Sylvester J. Snee, who greeted the boys and girls of South Hills High School. with a warm address of welcome before proceeding with the trial of a civil case. At noon, Jury Commissioner Moore explained and dem-I onstrated how to draw a jury from the wheel. We are greatly indebted to Judges Snee and Kennedy, to Captain Barkley, to Mr. Moore and to Chief Clerk Shenkel. Thursday, April 26-At the close of school a delegation of real live wiresv journeyed afoot to the Diamond National Bank upon invitation of Mr. L. E. Huse- man, assistant cashier, to inspect the giant safety deposit vault fthe second largest in the countryb of that institution. The gen- ial Mr. Abers, in charge, carefully explain- ed the details of many banking features and gave an astonishing surprise when he stated that the door, alone, to the vault weighs 70,000 pounds. The system of mir- rors arranged to prevent burglary or tun- neling under is a marvelous arrangement that all should see. A cordial invitation was extended by both Mr. Huseman and Mr. Abers to return any time. Tuesday, May 1-Mr. Ringer, by re- quest, addressed us on The Unfinished Task, which was supplemental to a pre- vious discussion, entitled Chopsticks. Many illustrations were given which were gleaned from his visit to New York during Easter vacation. Monday, May 7-More than seven dozen elegantly designed gold and silver club pins arrived. Alumni as well as present- day students proudly display the Junior Board pins. T u e s d a y , May 15-Mr. Warren W. Hampe, of the Travelers Insurance Com- pany of Hartford, masterfully addressed us on the subject, Modern Insurance. He was tendered a unanimous rising vote of thanks on motion of Miss Ruth Greenberg, and urgently invited to return when he might have time to do justice in a greater measure to his subject. Tuesday, June 5-Miss Clara Wolff, alumna and former active member of the Junior Board, will speak on My One Year in Germany Since the War. Before sail- ing a year ago she spoke on How to Se- cure a Passport. Her addresses never fail to be instructive, entertaining and inter- esting. Friday, June 15.-The Second Annual Picnic is scheduled to be held in Olympia Park from 3 to 9 o'clock, P. M. The Com- missioner of City Parks has already issued a permit to Miss Dierker. and the Social Committee-Fanny Long,Howard Stewart, Mary Wortman-and the ofiicers are plan- ning a program that will eclipse similar events of the past. Many alumni report that they will attend. Tuesday, June 19-The last meeting of the year will be devoted to the election of officers, committee reports, a carefully' itemized financial report, and a report on What We Have Done This Year, by the secretary. This will be an eye-opener when summarized. THE SENIOR B'S PICNIC. Fate seemed to befall the class at 3 o'clock, for the sky was dark and cloudy, but Luck slowly rolled away these dark clouds, ridding the beautiful azure sky of the mysterious veil. Couples, smiling happily, strolled to Eichleays' summer home, where happiness and good cheer are always abundant. After the feast, which proved as favor- able fespecially the sandwichesj, popular melodies could be heard flowing from the dance hall, which was already filled with the gay participants. Each guest was adorned with a small cap, which he will keep as a reminder of the wonderful Senior B picnic. The mysterious prize was won by Ed- ward McAllister. The home waltz was played at 11 o'clock, but Time had Hed too quickly. All departed with happy thoughts and with a closer friendship for all those who were there. .Q 3 U .2 Ill :S E l 80 SESAME MUSIC IN SOUTH HILLS. Since the organization of the Music Club early in the semester, musical activ- ities in South Hills have multiplied. The Choral Club, long familiar in the life of the school, now includes within its or- ganization a girls' glee club, as well as a selected group of mixed voices. These two divisions of the club, includ- ing about fifty voices, ably represented S. H. H. S. in the City High Schools Music Festival held in Syria Mosque on the aft- ernoon of May 17. Six of our orchestra members took part in the festival. Carl Rosenberg, of South Hills, was vio- lin soloist and received very favorable comment from noted music critics of the city. John Spears, another of our players. was among those singled out for special mention for his excellent work on the tympani. The following program was given by the Music Club in the gymnasium, Thurs- day evening, May 10. Patrons and friends of the school, who were the invited guests of the club, made up a large and apprecia- tive audience. 1. Selection from Tannhauser ,,.,,. ,,,,,,, W agner Orchestra 2.

Very iine material reported for the track team this year, and a good team is the re- sult. Quite a bit of interest has been shown by the runners, and stiff competi- tion will be encountered by our opponents. There are several fast men on the team, and the High Jump Department is very slr ng, with Werle and Gollings as main- stays. Davies, Bryant and Schmidt, aided by Johnnie Horton, Dick Foster, Werle, Means, Serman, Perry, Lehman and Hunt are taking care of the sprints in excellent fashion, while McNair and Winston are running the mile. Kelly and Gollings are taking care of the field events, with Werle and Schmidt doing the broad jumping. Werle, Horton, Foster, Perry and Hunt, with a few more capable men, will be back next year, and much will be expected of them. We c o n q u e r e d Fifth Avenue High School's cinder men by the overwhelming score of 86-30 at Soho Park. Horton, Fos- ter and Werle starred in their respective events, while Gollings and Kelly upheld their end of the duel. Schenley copped the mile relay in her duel with us and just nosed our team out by the close score of 60-48. All members of the team worked hard and are to be complimented for such a line showing. Allegheny made us bow in defeat once more, by the close score of 52-46. Due to the absence of several stellar performers. South Hills was handicapped and allowed Allegheny to romp away with victory. Our ancient rival, South, was pounced upon and beaten by the overwhelming score of 78-28 at Sportsmerfs Park. Hor- ton, Werle and Schmidt performed best for South Hills. Peck ran a good mile race. Due to inclement weather meets were postponed, but a prominent showing is an- ticipated in the final meet at Schenley Oval on June 7. C The following up to date: South Hills South Hills South Hills South Hills BASEBALL. At the close of the basketball season a call was issued for candidates. Around some of last year's veterans-Peterson, Kestner, Davies, Flinn. Bantly and White- house-was formed the nucleus for this year's team.. Some of the new men-Irr, is a record of meets held 86-Fifth Avenue 30 48-Schenley 60 46-Allegheny 52 78-South 28 Hunter, Davis, Paolini, Daley, Cappel, Pat- ton, Mutschler and MacDonald - show much promise. ' SOUTH HILLS 6-PEABODY 4. South Hills opened their season with a win over Peabody's nine, on their field. A large crowd of enthusiastic rooters wit- nessed the game and cheered for their fav- orites, and South Hills emerged victorious. Captain Peterson and Kestner played best for South Hills, while Closkey was Pea- body's best. SOUTH HILLS 7-WESTINGHOUSE 6. Our team turned the tables on Westing- house and sent them home conquered by a one-run loss. The outcome of the game was in doubt until our turn at bat in the ninth inning, with two men out, Bantly poking a double to middle field and send- ing the winning run across the platter. Flinn pitched a good ball and was given good support. Al Paolini also starred at bat and in the field. Bantly and Irr's work was outstanding. SOUTH HILLS 6-ASPINWAL 4. Our boys traveled to Aspinwall and de- feated the High School team of that place in a game marred by many arguments. Irr, Kestner and Captain Peterson star- red, as did Campbell for the losers. ALLEGHENY 24-SOUTH HILLS 14. In a slugging match, Allegheny outslug- ged South Hills, thereby winning the gruelling contest. The track men should have played, for much practice would have been attained. SOHENLEY 13-SOUTH HILLS 4. Due to unforseen circumstances, our team suddenly disbanded, and practically a new team played under South Hills' colors. Much credit goes to them for their faith- fulness and interest, and success is hoped for. As a result, Schenley had easy meat and went home victorious. Davis, Bantly and Irr are deserving of credit, while Zivic was best for Schenley. Many of the games were postponed until late in June and victories will be looked for when they are played off.
