The picture, in four reels, stars our class and is directed by our long-suffering teachers. Let's go! We were in that class. True to form, the first reel, MA Rhapsody in Green or H0ur Freshie Days, is a comedy. What experiences we seem to have gotten into! The opening scenes seem very confused for the ac- tors in fthe picture at least. How embarrassed they are trying to get to the fif-th floor by ele- vator and carrying their lunch trays up the steps from the lunchroom .after attempting to eat at the teachers, tables. Rooms seem to change plac- es each time they are hunted. Soon the poor freshies settle down to routine and refuse to bite on -the tricks of the upperclassmen. The picture is short but then three more are to follow. As the scenes of the sophomore year begin to flicker upon the screen, the figures of aspiring young journalists and dramatists are shown sign- ing up for clubs. This is a new opportunity for the ex-freshmen who want to join some extra- curricular activities. However, some of the sophs are still hunting elusive classrooms, for they are the newcomers from junior high schools who are still unacquainted with their new alma mater. As the celluloid film unwinds, tthere are glimpses of earnest young biologists hilariously engaged in feeding Mr. Overcashierls fishes erasers. And as the last scene plays upon the screen, it displays the grimaces and distasteful glances of the erring sophomores disdainfully examining the interior dec- orations of frogs and worms. The third picture, a news reel, opens in the gymnasium of S. H. H. S., showing the now dig- nified juniors lightly dancing to the popular ditties of the season Their day has begun and they are making the most of it. When a junior-senior par- ty is announced, the sophs and freshies, who long to go, are told gently, but firmly, that they must wait until they have grown up. The prominent leaders in the class rooms are duly singled out and upon nomination are initiated into the exclu- sive membership of the National Honor Society. The next scenes fiashed upon the screen show the juniors vigorously nominating and electing their class guardian, Mr. Hayward, and the officers, Em- mett Simpson, Thomas Cullison, jean Burson, and Dolly Paige. Their selection of president is then viewed in football attire helping the team to win 'the game for South Hills fame. Only a few minutes remain but they promise to be very in- teresting. The main reel, 'fOur Seniority, is last on the program. The first scene is a class meeting, bet- ter attended than usual. What's this? Hooray! our worthy class officers are re-elected. How quick- ly the film unreels. It is june and time for the picnic. After much discussion on all possible questions, june the 7th and South Park are chos- en as the time and place. The picnic day is cold and rainy, but it takes more 'than the ele- ments to dampen the spirits of a class of our type. There is a break in -the film and an inter- mission of two months as the actors gather strength for the last dash 'to our goal. Senior A's! Not many of us realize how close we are to the end or rather the beginning of our lives. This semester is a whirl of work, athletics, and socials. In classes we learn more than semi-colons, dates, and f'X's7' as Mr. Hayward demonstrates his points and as Miss Price endeavors to teach her aspiring young actors and actresses who cannot die ,and faint gracefully on the school's hard wood- en fioors. Our football activities take the scene of the picture away from school territory. There is a glorious array of smashing victories which lead to the championship game at Pitt Stadium. In a 'ttrue 'to filml' style, the game is won in the last three minutes of play by the heroes of our film. The scene moves on to Senior Day. Decked in red and white, many seniors pass to and fro in their last stand as leaders of the school. Then a ballroom scene flashes before our eyes. It is the Senior Prom at Chartiers Heights Coun- try Club. The roll of film is almost finished. Graduation comes, solemn ,and impressive. When the last Amen is said, there is a glorious fade- out-both happy and sad as our class passes into the ranks of alumni of dear South Hills High. A Forward Look Washington, D. C., January 28, 1950, 9:oo A. M. OMING .from press conference at the White- house where President Robert Diethorn an- nounced his secretarial staff with Clara Peckett heading it as his Hprivatefi Other sten- ogs right up in there are Betty McCullough, Ruth Kramer, Florence Neuner, and Edith Shoup. rotoo Breakfast: Having my calories super- vised by Marion Broughton, America's gif-t 'to 18- day dieters. Cut in on coffee by three hard work- ing sturgeons, Carolyn Logan, Ann Miller, and Slobodan Pekich, who were fresh from the ether room. 11:00. A turn around the park which turn- ed into a run around the park with the two pep- Sters of the day, joseph Mullen and Ruth Mac- Donald, both physical education instructors. We were joined on the last lap by Fred Doerzbacher and Peter Palermo, two lawyers who are always dashing about. Izzoo. just as I was about to envy the peo- ple of the soil, I bumped into farmer, William Thomas and forester, joseph Aul who immedi- ately bewailed Mother Earth's condition until I was happy I still lived in fthe city. 1:00. Waiting for the bus at Pennsylvania Avenue I found jean Brown, an old school chum, Page Twenty -One Page Twenty-Two --SESAME who is now in the capital city as part of her piano concert tour. This afforded me opportunity for a good chat about former playmates. Another touring musician, I learned, was Hilda Phillips, organist. I was told that back in my old home town of Pittsburgh, Alba Scatton held down a buyerls position at Kaufmann's and Ruth Korb has the same position at Rosenbaum's. Any num- ber of the girls in the old class of '36 turned to nursing. Cecelia Scorzafave, Margaret Fridy and Josephine Bucko are all members of the fWhi'le Parade. Arthur Trimble seems to have follow- ed up his hobby of taking pictures, for he now has a iirst rate studio and ranks high among the city's photographers. Another camera man is Wil- liam Davin, who is operating at the Penn Thea- ter. William Schmotzer seems to have come out tops, too, and is heading an engineering pro- ject out West. 2:00. Preparing for the big evening before me, I hie away to the Beauty Shoppe of Dorothy Reese and Dorothea Long where Ruth Luffey gives me a manicure. Besides being beautified, I am edified by their chatting about other classmates who are making their ways in the world. The call of pedagogy was answered by Arnold Hull, Dolly Page, Geneva Harding, and Bernice Wat- son. Working 'tsocially are Mabel Hepp, Eliza- beth Ward and Greta Larson. Theodore Lau is pulling right along in his dental office, while Wil- liam McGeary has made the ministry his work. 3:00. Lunch among the clouds or, at least, with men of the clouds for Regis Margey is now a commercial pilot, and Norman Sippel is flying for 'the U. S. Army. They are down to earth for only a short time as they are due to take off again tonight. Leaving the restaurant we meet three engineers, Robert Mickelson, Russell Fer- guson, and Lee Miller. 4:00. Speeding down the highway to the li- brary I am stopped by patrolman Karl Lauder- baugh, who threatens to turn me over to G-man, Joseph Dunn, unless I take more care in driving. He also tells me that my carelessness may end in a trip to Karl H. Tritsch, a mortician. Once at the library I look for librarian Grace Larson, Who recommends a new volume of short stories by Louise Cisko. 5:00. Next to the library I visit a commer- cial art exhibit Where I see among 'the prize winners, drawings by Harold Fox, Campbell Mc- Connell, ,and Jerome Dorn. There I find George Metzger who has shore leave, for now he is a U. S. Seaman. Also interested in the display is Hilary Imhoff, a prominent architect. 6:00. Browsing through the newspaper I see where Elso Valle has signed up with the Pitts- burgh Pirates for next season. Turning on the radio I caltch the enlightening address of the eco- nomist, jack Gray, speaking of the encouraging come-back that business has made in the last year. 7:00. Dinner at the hotel where the music was furnished by Clark Wilson and his orchestra. Frank Raddi is a featured player and Anna Bar- toli is the soloist. They revived an old number called HA Little Bit Independent and methought how styles in music have changed since its day of popularity! 8:00. Wind the day up seeing Irene Over- cashiers latest play. The usual number of news- paper reporters in the audience. Eleanor McCabe and Edna Baldwin, two front page journalists, among them. 12:00. just a bite after the theater where Margaret Ertzman is attracting crowds with her captivating tapping at the Mayflower floor show. At an opposite table sit singer Lieselottte Siefen and salesman james Miller. And so to bed, bid- ding a cheery good night to jane Marks who has drawn her way to the top of the artists' ladder. We laugh as I remind her of the cupids she used to draw for me years and years ago when I went to a high school that was really high, high, on a hilltop. Yours To llave and To I-lold HE time has come when we, the February class of '36, are faced with the painful task of bidding adieu to these portals of learn- ing and to the pupils and teachers therein.

This, in some small mea- sure, will ,alleviate your feeling of utter loss at our leaving, and will help you to bear up under the staggering blow. First, to the various classes, we leave the bulk of our estate. To those poor benighted souls who arestrug- gling through their first year at South Hills High School we leave the ignominious title of Hfreshiew to be borne with what patience and forbearance they can muster. To 'them is also left South Hills' mythical and faraway fifth floor with its marble dance floors and tropical penthouse gardens,--to say nothing of the chewing machines that every true freshie believes to be lurking somewhere. To the sophomores, we will only this gem of wisdom-donlt be, They who know not and know not that they Know notfl You have been accused of being that type, you know? The juniors are fortunate indeed in being the recipients of a few of our most valuable pos- sessions. First, the title of Uupperclassmen' is theirs to fiaunt in the faces of the less fortunate people who are merely Hpoopelsfl With this title goes the overinflated ego that characterizes the newly titled upperclassman and permits him to attend the terpischorean rallies held intermittent- ly in the girls' gymnasium. There is little else we can leave the juniors that would be of any help to them, they being of the egotistical turn of mind that deludes them into believing that they are ffThe Top. To the incoming senior Als who are soon to fill our shoes fthose bought through the efforts of our football teamj we bequeath to you our swelled heads, senior vacation, the headaches ac-- companying the senior vocational themes, and last but not least, approximately 150 copies of physic- ally but not spiritually mutilated ffl-Ienry Es- mondsf' Not only the class as a whole remembers the school in this, their last will and testament, but there are a few big-hearted individuals who have personal treasures that they wish to bequeath. First in this category is an individual, we wonlt divulge his name, who claims that he wills and bequeaths his youth and innocence to him who needs it most. Sallie Gumbert, although it pains her to do it, leaves the superannuated chewing gum that reposes dain'tily on the bottom of her chair in the English class. Said chewing gum is no long- er dangerous as it has passed the stage where it could imprison the unwary stocking. Nor is it useful any longer, but for sentimental reasons she desires it to have comfortable lodging in its old age. This responsibility then she passes on to him who will be so fortunate as to sit in the second seat of the second row of room 253. Slobadan Pekich wills his cereal dog, Shred- ded Wit, to the school. The motives behind his move are not clear, but, nevertheless, we feel sure the canine will be properly appreciated. SESAME--f Elinor Rubenstein really reaches the peak of magnanimity, though, by her unselfish attitude toward her Alma Mater. She is bequeathing her silver platedgtbarbed wire bathmat -to the swim- ming pool. There are several possible interpre- tations of this move, but We will give her the benefit of the doubt and say nary a word about any ulterior motives she may have. Perhaps she just wants it to serve as a memorial of her abil- ity to play basket-ball??? Norval johnson claims that he knows all the answers. In an effort to prove this he is will- ing to the school a forty-page pamphlet contain- ing the answers to all of Mr. Mitchell's riddles. And that, dear people, is ffsomethingll' A leather bound volume of Little Aubrey Jokes, which are generally considered the acme of asininity, is the contribution of Ella Bencze to the library. Bob Clancy's bequest to the school is 'a col- lection of his original poems. These poems close- ly resemble the off-spring of a Chinese puzzle and a Gertrude Stein sonnet. In the list of bequests to some of the var- ious clubs there are many worthy thoughts. To the Math Club goes the fourth, fifth and sixth dimensions for the amusement of the stu- dents. The other dimensions are to be used as sources of worry to those who are pupils. The Chemistry Club receives as its reward for long and faithful service in 'the interest of more and worse smells, the formula for odorless hydrogen sulfide. The US Club draws a gross of Wheaties and Wheatena to build supermen. The ability to faint convincingly is the best thing we can think of to leave the Little Theater. The Honor Society may have any UA pupils that are left ,after we are gone. To the Red Cross Club goes a brand new baby doll for Uexperimentsf' The Journalist Club will receive our pencil stubs, and the Hobbies Club our thanks for theme material. The I-lil Parade E have endeavored to combine character- istics, reputations, and identifying inci- dents in choosing popular song titles to indicate a chosen few of the members of this grad- uating class.

Page Twenty Fzve Page Twenty-Six TIHIILETIICSS Boys' Athletics Football AIL South Hills-City Football Cham- pions of 1935. In the space of one short season they have leaped from the deepest depths to the highest heights-from last place in the standing to the City Championship. In 1934 our faltering team won but a single game out of their five league contests, but this year they made a clean sweep of their league schedule, an even break in two non-league contests, and reached their peak in beating Westinghouse, 6-o, for the City High School Championship in the Pitt Stadium on Nov. 23. Even though the 1934 season seemed unsuccessful upon the surface, it did much toward developing the 193 5 team, because no fewer than nineteen players remained from last yearls squad, seven of whom were regulars. However, Coach Mazeski had no soft job ahead of him, because he had to develop two backfield men and two tackles, which are the keystone of ,any strong de- fensive line. As the record shows, Mr. Mazeski and Coach Grunnagle, his assistant, were fully capable of the task, as they have been in past years. To the coaching staff, especially Coach Mazeski, should go the lionels share of the credit for what was accomplished during the past sea- son. Besides being our head coach, trainer, and doctor, he was like a big brother to every boy on the squad. -He was always looking after the wel- fare of the boys, and was more than concerned when anyone was injured. He is worthy of every bit of credit given him. South Hills played through a grueling sched- ule, starting out with none other than Carrick, probably our most bitter athletic rival. Neither team was functioning at its best, having had only two weeks' practice before this opening game. The only score came in the first quarter when Whiskers', Lauderbaugh recovered a blocked kick over the goal line, and the game eventually ended 6-o in our favor. Perry, in the second game, of- fered our boys much opposition with a heavy team which was very powerful. However, our of- fense was clicking rooffb better than in our first game and we pounded out a 13-o win. The scores were made by Eltringham, who turned right end for a touchdown from a few yards out, and by Nedetsky, who recovered a blocked punt over the enemy goal. Lloyd Hopfer place-kicked one ex- tra point. Taylor Allderdice was then beaten 6-o, when Lauderbaugh scored the only touch- down on a forward pass. This game was domin- ated by fierce line olay. The Tunnelites then journeyed down to Martins Ferry, Ohio, where they were the victims of toughbreaks and three perfectly executed forward passes. The outcome was 20-6 in favor of the home town boys, with Ain Ott carrying the only South Hills score across after taking a pass from Gus Garnham. Our boys then took their spite out on Allegheny, defeatiny the North Siders IQ-O. Eltringham scor- ed all three touchdowns, one on a run of about 60 yards after intercepting an enemy pass. Hop- fer annexed the extra point. The following week we were forced to face the fast-stepping Oliver team in the game which would virtually decide the Sec- tion 2 champions, since both teams were undefeat- ed at the time. At the end of the first half we were in the lead 12-o, due to touchdowns by Ott, after receiving a pass, and by Tommy Culli- son in returning a punt about 70 yards through the entire Oliver team. In the fourth quarter the lead was sliced to 12-7, but Garnham assured South Hills of victory by plunging over the goal for the final touchdown, making the score 18-7. After a two weeks' rest, we met Langley on a muddy gridiron and clinched the Section 2 cham- pionship by winning, 13-6. Messer and Lauder- baugh took accurate passes from Garnham to chalk up the sixth victory of the season. Lauder- baugh scored the point-after-touchdown on a pass. This concluded the regular schedule, and the team began preparing for the championship tussle wi-th Westinghouse, Section 1 champions. This game was given more publicity than any high school game in the history of football in the city of Pittsburgh. It was sponsored by the f'Pittsburgh Sun-Telegraph, and the proceeds were turned over to the Shoe Fund for Needy School Children. There was a crowd of 20,000 presentmthe largest ever to attend a high school game in Pennsylvania. Our team Went into the game minus the services of Howard Nedetsky, suf- fering from a side injury, and Lloyd Hopfer, who had a broken nose. Eltringham was suffering from a painful shoulder injury, but started the game, only to be removed in the first quarter. Nedetsky saw no action at all in this, his final game. For three quarters Westinghouse pounded the South Hills line, using very little but straight power plays. However, when they threatened our goal our line braced and staved off their futile efforts to score. The whole game was played after this manner, and our team was never in scoring posi- tion until a Westinghouse fumble was recovered near mid-field. Unnoticed, Ott separated himself from his teammates and quietly hid on the side- lines. The ball was passed immediately, and Garnham tossed him a perfect pass, and South Hills had won the championship by means of the ancient 'fsleeper playf' The road to the championship was anything but smooth for Coach Mazeski and his team. Many difficulties were encountered besides the injuries and handicaps that pursue every team. The main one was the lack of an athletic field on which to practice. Because of its unfit playing surface and lack of size, the campus was not suitable for very intensive practice. For this kind of Work, such as scrimmaging, the team was forced to go to Over- brook once each week, where they had their only honest-to-goodness drill. Despite this hinderance South Hills has won the championship of Section 2 nine times out of the twelve years that the Page Twenty-Nzne Page Thirty league has existed. How- ever, this is only the sec- ond time that our schoolf has annexed the City Championship. Back in the spring of 1935, Mr. Mazeski predicted that his team would win the City Champ- ionship and then proved his statement by molding together what is proclaimed as the best all-around team that has ever represented South Hills High School. The players that com- posed the starting lineup in most of the games were t'Bob7' Sughrue and Karl Lauderbaugh at the ends, joseph Aul and Howard Nedetsky at the tackles, Captain Emmett Simpson and Louis Letbetter at the guards, and Edward HMoon'l Mullen at the center position CHEER LEADERS The backfield consisted of Garnham at quarter, teams victory march were Harold Greene, Frank- Hennie7l Eltringham and 'tTom Messer at the lin Speicher, John Cianco, Pat Mullen, and Bazil halves, and Lloyd f'Hooks Hopfer at fullback. in the line, and Albert Ott, 'tTom Treloar, and Other boys Who played prominent parts in the 4'Tommyl7 Cullison in the backfield. Out of the BASKET BALL TEAM Page Thirty-Ona CROSS COUNTRY TEAM above mentioned players only Letbetter, the cap- tain-elect, and 'Ott remain for next year. There- fore, Mr. Mazeski has to do a great deal of re- building, but he will receive great help from this year's second team, which deserves a great deal of credit for the successful season just closed. Basketball HE first call for basketball practice several weeks ago brought forth no fewer than sev- enty candidates. However, this number was immediately cut down to the size of the average squad. The current team is composed .almost en- tirely of new players, the mainstays being Bazil, Hanlon, Cullison, and Garnham. Bazil is the only one in,this quartet not graduating in mid-year, and seems to be the logical dhoice for the center position because of his aggressive playing. Coach Cuddeback apparently has not made up his mind as to a definite starting lineup, since the most dependable players will be available for only half the season. However, the lineup that toppled Perry, 24-21, after losing to Dormont and Con- nelley Trade in non-league contests, seemed to click and may finish the first half season as the start- ing aggregation. It was composed of Fowle and Cullison ,at the forwards, Bazil at center, and Hanlonhand Garnham at the guards. Page Thirty-Two In the opening game, the Tunnelites were soundly trounced, 33-19, by a fine Dormont quin- tet, and then were set back by the Tradesmen at Connelley, 32-20, in a fiercely contested game. In their opening league game, our boys showed a complete reversal of form and eked out a close victory over Perry, 24-21. The feature of this game was the accurate sharpshooting of Tommy Cullison, who came away with seventeen points for the victors. Everything points to a fine first half season, and from then on, the new members of the team will have to uphold the prestige gained in the early pgart of the season. Other boys on the squad are: Harvey, Griffiths, Phillips, Davis, Mock, Frew, Preffer, and Russell. Cross Country OLLOWING a very successful season, the South Hills harriers entered the city cham- pionship meet, at Schenley Park on Thursday, Nov. 7, as one of the favorites to take the title. However, the best that they could do was to finish third, Taylor Allderdice and Lang- ley finishing ahead of them. Even though the team failed to bring home the crown, a South Hills representative, Leonard Morgan, had the honor of leading home the entire -SESAME J GYM. TEAM SWIMMING TEAM Page Thirty! Three pack. Not only was it a victory for Morgan, but in winning he set a new record for the Schenley Park course. He covered the distance in exactly eleven minutes and eighteen seconds. Henry God- leski, the second South Hills boy to finish, came to the finish line in the fourth notch. Gymnastics HE South Hills gymnastic team did not par- ticipate in any inter-scholastic competition this year, except the Senior City Cham- pionship at Connelley Trade School on Dec. 16. However, the team worked every available eve- ning in the gymnasium, in preparing for this meet. The squad, managed by William Woodworth, a third year man, was composed of: James Alm, joseph Arrigo, Albert Bertaccini, Donald Boose james Bush, George Dedis, William Flavell, Ralph Mickey, Wallace Peterson, Raymond Robinson, and Crawford. In the championship meet, South Hills was represented by Wallace Peterson, James Bush, and William Woodworth. They were entered in three events out of a possible five: 'the mats, horizontal bar, and the parallel bar. l TOP-GIRLS, PYRAMID ON PARENTS' NIGHT BOTTOM-FREE ARM DRILL, 11-B Girls' Athletics Volleyball OLLEY ball is one game which never lacks in contestants and this year is no excep- tion. The games were hard played by all from the least experienced to the near-profession- als. But finally Reese and MacDonald were left ailone on the field. Both teams showed good sportsmanship though Reese's team played a care- less game ,and showed none of the fine coopera- tive spirit exhibited by MacDonald's team. Now MacDonald holds the volleyball championship for three straight years. The team that helped her gain this distinction are: MacDonald, Neff, Page Thirty-Four Zeiler, Scorzafave, Siefen, Marshall, Neeb, Hard- ing, Murphy, Rosen, Aiken, Schoener. The whole tournament was ably managed by Adelaide Clark. Tennis OY HARTMAN certainly believes in doing things well. Not satisfied with vanquishing all aspirants to the tennis throne for the third successive time, she went on to conquer new worlds. She defeated 'the Allderdice player in the spring finals, then swept triumphantly through the city finals which she won at Olympia Park. But she lost at Frick Park, lost her chance of going to Oregon or to New Orleans. Better luck next time, Joy.

Everyone looked grotesque and ridiculous but we soon Holt used to the idea of Q ' 7 U DIHIIIBHCS seeing sallow and robust old agefl Traces of HE lirst assembly of this semester proved that the Dramatic department could do its share of work. The very popular song, In a Little Gypsy Tea Roomfl provided 'the idea for the first assembly. The musical selections were dramatized by members of the Dramatic classes, they were t'Tea for Two,'l g'Song of Love, and '4Play to Me Gypsy. In class, ,after a few explanations, our scenes began. From the beginning there was a great deal of talent shown. Serious scenes were given from The Doll's House, HHouse of Rimmon, and Berkley Squarev-humorous ones from 4'The Impontance of Being Earnest, 'tShe Stoops to Conquer, and t'The Rivals. Although stools served as tables, chairs served as divans, and wastepaper baskets for open tires, still the spirit of the scenes was retained. Of course, the most amusing day of all was when we practiced the art of make-up on our the rouge remained for days under our linger nails, but nobody minded-it had been such an interesting experience. Our monologues came next. Much practice and skill is necessary in order to show the dif- ferent characters. They were quite successful, ,and even more talent seemed to appear with 'the ex- cellent training of Miss Price. A good many laughs were provided by the one-act plays. By this time, the stage crew, un- der the direction of Mr. Everett, had made four collapsible screens. Now We could create as many doors as we wished. The miniature 'telephones whose receivers were apt 'to stick in your ear and which rang at the Wrong time supplied many a laugh. The characters themselves were the most amusing-when they picked up the wrong cues, or when they had to eat candy and talk at the same time, or when the divan wasn't long enough to lie on. Fortunately for the starving actors Page Thirty-Seven - CLASS PLAY CAST and actressesf' of the class, when a cake was re- quired, it was brought and we ate it the eighth period with extreme relish. We were lucky in that there were several plays requiring cake. We, too, were expected to write a one-act play. Those which were considered very good were per- formed in class. Of course, the highest point of interest in our whole dramatic Hcareerv was the class play. When the name of the class play was announced as UBig- Hearted Herbertji we hoped and prayed to be chosen one of the characters. The day the cast was announced, a horde of drama students stam- peded the halls to the bulletin board to hnd out who was who. Disappointment and supreme hap- piness were prevelant. Rehearsals began. Prac- tices were had every spare moment, At last on the night of January 17, the play was presented. Under the skillful direction of Miss Price the play was a great success. Being a comedy, it appeal- ed to everyone. Herbert Kalness disapproved of men who went to college--especially Harvard men, and when his eldest son, junior, announces his i,n- tention of going to college, he tells him he will not go to college but will en-ter his father's fac- tory. That afternoon his daughter, Alice, returns from a vacation resort and announces to her moth- er her engagement to Andrew Goodrich. Eliza- beth Kalness decides to have a dinner party in order to announce her daughter's engagement. Unfortunately Herbert has had trouble with the Income Tax man, and when he comes home, he gives his wife no opportunity to explain. He acts quite disagreeably to the guests, emphasizing the fact that they are 'fplain folks. Finally, when he discovers his cuspidor and the crayon por- trait of his father have been hidden, he explodes. When the guests let the real reason of the dinner party slip out, he insults Andrew who in turn calls him a Upig-headed old fool. Mrs. Kal- ness decides her husband has gone far enough. When he tells her to expect a business associate of his for dinner, she strips the furniture of their covers, puts the cuspidor in plain view, covers the table with a red and white checked cloth, ,and dresses the children and herself to look like 'tplain folks. When the guests come, all their former culture is hidden by the mannerism of Uplain folksfl After the guests leave, Elizabeth tells him quite firmly that she will leave him in his 'fplainl' home if he continues acting so atrociously and continues to object to Aliceys marriage and jun- ior's going to college. Herbert begins to weak- en. She continues and shows him that Robert would rather go into the factory than go to school. Herbert gives in, and the play ends with Robertis remark to his father, You sure can take it, dad! The Cast Herbert Kalness ................................

UR class had its picnic at Spreading Oak in South Park today. It was cold and rainy but we all had a good time anyway. As none of us had fur-lined or heated bathing suits and as the rain prevented the scheduled treasure hunt and baseball game, we sang songs and danced in the afternoon while the commit- tee hunted the missing ice-cream and prepared the supper. When the committee called t'Soup's on, we armed ourselves with utensils ,and quick-- ly 'tdid justicei' to our food. Some of us even ate twice as We acted Senior A's when they con- descended to seek shelter in our humble ibut dry5 barn. During the evening the seniors joined us for dancing as Chuck Dale's Orchestra furnish- ed us -with music. After most of the picnickers had taken the truck for home, I was one of the lucky ones who got a banana from Mr. Hayward -and were they good!! October 25-HdZl0'ZU-6,671 Dance S. H. H. S. has had a good many socials but the Hallow-elen Dance tonight climaxed them all. I saw the gym yesterday as I helped to decorate, but evening lent spookiness to the atmosphere. Ghosts, skeletons, and witches with their black cats were suspended from every nook and corner. The surprising costumes surpassed all expecta- tions. Our football captain, Emmett Simpson, as Haile Selassie and Sarah Beggs as the Spirit of the Bath, both won prizes and they sure deserv- ed them. The orchestra was good, too. December 18--Football Banquet This banquet and dance ,almost surpassed the Hallow-e'en social. The turkey was wonderful and the head waiter, who was really Lew Barnett, a famous comedian, had us all ,almost too scared to eat until we learned the truth. Mr. Glaser was toastmaster and he had some job introducing that Wonderful list of celebrated speakers. The S. H. H. S. Alumni String Ensemble furnished delight- ful music. During the later part of the evening We danced to the tune of Jack Masonis Orches- tra. Each dance was dedicated to a member of the football team. I'm going to keep the cute megaphone program in my scrap-book. January 4 just imagine-itis almost time for the prom and graduation. The Prom is at Chartiers Heights Country Club on january 24. We're going to have Ches Walters and His Orchestra. From the news I've heard whispered around it's going to be pretty nice. ' Graduation is to be the 28th. The speak- ers haven't been announced yet but I'm sure we are going to have one of the nicest graduations ever put on in South Hills. RUTH KNOWLES. Football Banque! Our championship football team was honored at ,a banquet held on Wednesday, Dec. 18, in the banquet hall of McCann's store in East Liberty, and was probably the most successful banquet ever tendered by the school. Mr. Glaser was the toastmaster, and intro- duced the, main speakers, Mr. Julius Levin, sports writer of the 'fSun-Telegraph and Coach Mazeski. Twenty letter-men were presented with chen- ille letters by Dr. Winner. These letter-men were: Bazil, Treloar, Cianco, Ott, Aul, Simpson, Eltring- ham, Hopfer, Messer, Garnham, Sughrue, Lauder- baugh, Nedetsky, E. Mullen, Letbetter, Cullison, Greene, Speicher, and the managers, Ragano and Starzinski. The guests at the banquet were Dr. Gra- ham, Superintendent of Schools, Mr. Walsh, -Di- rector of Athletics, James Fillingham and James McDonald, Duquesne stars of the past season, Mr. Grunnagle, and Mr. Rinehart, some of these whom gave short speeches. HStebe Terebus and 'tSteve,' Trbovich, co-captains of the Carnegie Tech team, were unable to be present. The feature of the evening was the acting of Luke Barnett, famous Pittsburgh comedian, in serv- ing as the head waiter. He had the whole place in an uproar by his ribbing of the diners, who were unaware of -the fact that the whole thing was a farce, until it was announced by Mr. Glaser. The balance of the evening was spent in dancing, each dance being dedicated to a member of the team. The dance programs were very clever, being in the shape of a megaphoneg and containing a picture of the team, with the season's record printed on the back. These programs were fully appreciated by those wishing a souvenir from this fine banquet for a fine team. Chamber of Commerce Luncheon The South Hills football team, City High School champions of 193 5, was honoerd at a luncheon on Monday, Dec. 16, in the auditorium of the Pittsburgh Chamber of Commerce. This fete was held in the honor of Duquesne Univer- sity, city college champion and our championship -team. E. T. Whiter, chairman of the Chamber re- creation committee, presided at the gathering, where both teams were guests of honor. Figur- ettes of football players, emblematic of the cham- pionships won by their respective teams, were pre- sented to Dr. Winner, our principal, and Rev. I. I. Callahan, president of Duquesne, by William Haddock, president of the Amateur Athletic Union. The first school to win the high school trophy three times will have the honor of retaining it per- manently, and South Hills is the only school hav- ing two victories engraved upon it, having been victorious in IQSI, the first year that the award was given. Page Thirty-Nine m ! .EJ TOP-KERRY DANCE ON PARENTS' NIGHT BOTTOM-FRESHMAN STUNTSTERS judge John P. Egan of common pleas court, a prominent football oflicial, was the main speaker. He praised the two guest teams and assailed the critics of football, emphasizing its importance in modern life. Two members of the South Hills football team, t'Gus Garnham and HBob' Sughrue were placed on the official all-city team. This team selected by the t'Pittsburgh Pressl' is considered ofncial, and Garnham and Sughrue were placed on the first team at their respective positions of quarterback and end. The t'Pittsburgh Sun-Telegraph chose Ed 'tMoon Mullen at center, Emmett Simpson at guard, Garnham at quarter, and Sughrue at end.

On Vacation at Grandpa's OME people require a variety of locations for their summer vacations, but Grandpa's farm furnishes me enjoyment every year. His farm is not much different from other peoples, but it is on a lake and completely over-shadows the nearby cottages. The summer people laugh at such a big house, but I like it with its com- fortable beds and easy chairs for after a hard winterls work, I have no use for camp stools and lumpy cots. I want hot water in the spigot, not in a kettle on the stove. Some may not mind keeping their clothes in a trunk but I want my dresses to hang in .a closet so that they will not be all wrinkled when I want to wear them. Much of the charm of the farm lies not in the structure of the buildings, but in the big, old- fashioned garden at the side of the house. Here Grandma has all the pretty flowers that were pop- ular when she was a girl. Mignonette, sweet peas, baby's breath, asters, and sweet william grow to immense size and put to shame the ones I try Forty-Two to grow in flower boxes. Grandma has a partial- ity for blue and yellow, and so rows of golden- glow stand against great clumps of monkshood with calendulas and bachelor's buttons in front in sort of a foot-light array. There are so many oth- er things that fit into the picture to make the farm a real place, that it is hard to note them all at once. Of course, there are the little chicken coops behind the house, and in one of the yards Grandpa keeps Ginella. Ginella is the goat, ,and I discovered by trial and error tactics with her that goats do not care much for tin cans and old rubber boots as some people would have you be- lieve. The little creek that runs through the sugar grove is full of cold sparkling water even on the hottest day of summer. On still nights I can hear the murmur the water makes as it pelts down the hill to the lake. All these things I find on Grandpals farm, and it suits my idea of perfec- tion as a delightful spot for a summer vacation. Meals at Grandmals are not sketchy affairs like so many at home are. There is always plen- ty of food for everyone and just what everyone likes best. There are no diet foods on the table at Grandmais as there are at home. Grandma says, 'fFolks should have what they want, be- cause it keeps their disposition sweet. Accord- ing to Grandpals ideas: A man cannot work with what little energy he gets out of them new fangled thingsf' Therefore, Grandma crowds the table with big blue bowls filled with steaming food. I like to watch the fluffy biscuits bob up and down in the gravy, and everyone's eyes gleam when they see the steamed graham pudding heap- ed with glistening red cherries. Matched with the food is the conversation at the table. At home silence is the rule enforced at the table, but at the farm -three or four conversations go on at once. The table' is the clearing place for all gossip because the family is seldom .all togeth- er at any other time. Each one talks about what interests him most. While Dad is trying to get in his opinion about the deperession, Grandma tells him how many eggs she averaged the year be- fore. I try to listen to Dean telling about his pet turtle, while Aunt Susie is describing the new crochet stitch she made up. All this talk at the table usually winds up with the question, Who is going out in the canoe after the dishes are done? The canoe is mine, but the whole family and a good many of the neighbors think they have a part-ownership in it. Usually after the dishes are done, four of us go for a canoe ride, but one day, on the Fourth of July to be exact, Mary and I managed to slip away for a moonlight canoe ride. After launching the Butterfly, we had some difficulty ,at first in steering her, but as we pro- gressed further down the stream, the steering be- canie much easier. The stream is far more in- teresting by night than it is by day. As we glide along it is fun to watch the queer little frogs pop up and down in the water. Their skin is as bright as the noon-day sun, yet it can be as dull as the darkest night, it can be as smooth as the skin of a small child, or as rough as the weather-beat- en face of a sailor. Around the bend our ears catch -the rumbling of distant fireworks. The trees cast weird shadows on the Water, and look like large hands reaching out to grab us. Set back among the trees we can see little cottages send- ing out a warm glow of light into the dark night. With the splashing of the dam growing louder, we turn the canoe around and head back up stream. By this time the rumbling of the fire- works has stopped and the night has grown darker as we guide our canoe into the landing. Even though this trip was very picturesque, I was glad to get home and crawl into my warm bed for a quiet' nightls sleep. When I awake in the morning, Grandpals pic- turesque old barn is the first thing that attracts my attention. Built almost one hundred years ago, the barn is as plumb as the day it was fm- ished. It is the oldest building for miles around. and there are immense foot-square rafters which were sawed from native oak in it. The walls are full of knot-holes where the light streams in, and the ceiling is covered with the soft brown of swallows' nests. The roof slants so steeply that I often wonder how the baby birds manage to stay in their nests, but somehow or other they do. Through the large cracks I can see large stacks of golden yellow hay, which remind me of the stacks of gold in Rumplestiltskin. Besides the swal- lows I can see several families of skunks running in and out of their holes for food. I will never forget what happened when I tried :to play with the nice black and white kitty I found asleep on the floor of the barn, while I was exploring it one day. For over two days no one would come near me. Grandpa's old barn is an ideal place in which to play in rainy weather. One rainy afternoon, in the middle of july, as the rain was dripping soft- ly on the roof and a cool breeze was blowing through the open door, we decided to present everyone's favorite play, The Mortgage. This is a play, or perhaps I should say melodrama, writ- ten and produced for Grandma's seventy--fifth birthday. For costumes we use all Grandma's old clothes. I am the heroine, so I wear the blue mus- lin dress with a big bustle and carry a blue crin- oline parasol. The boys parade around in Civil War uniforms several sizes too big, and Dad, dressed in a blue and gold colonel's uniform from the Revolutionary War, plays the part of the aged father. When the curtain goes up, or rather when the actors? go on stage, the hisses .of the villain, the sobs of the distracted heroine, the sighs of the aged parents and the blows and vows of the hero are all mingled in true melodramatic style. With us, as Shakespeare, The play's 'the thing for rainy days. I am going back in june. The trees will be in full bloom andthe garden a mass of color. The big four-poster bed will be ready for me, and the Page F arty-Three 4 1 l 4 4.4 l I cooky jar will be bulging with ginger squares. It is only December, but can hardly wait until the bus goes round the corner and stops with a jerk as the driver calls, ,Martin's Placefl LOUISE GERST. Winter In Nelike A much anticipated winter in the little town of Nerike in Sweden had come true at last. The voyage- across the ocean was ra prologue that cre- ated a keen and happy anticipation of the winter joys to follow. After a heart-warming reunion with old friends at Gothenburg, we boarded the train and arrived at last in Nerike. We were met thereby Greta, motherls former schoolmate who swept us all into her arms, greeting us with: UA hearty welcome to Nerikeiv Chattering in joy- ous excitement, we all piled into a huge, low- swung sleigh on wooden runners, and snuggling between reindeer robes, sped along over crunch- ing snow, the sleigh bells jingling. I whispered to mother: ftIs this all real? Has it actually come true? Will I suddenly awake and say, fiMother, I just had the most glorious dream that we were sleighing in Nerike '. We soon came in sight of Gretals house. At her festively decorated home, we were made comfortable in a cozy room with its hand-woven curt-ains and rugs in gay colors. The lighted candles which gleamed in burnished copper hold- ers did not especially attract me, though they were something I had never seen before. Nor did the painted wall cupboard situated between them, dat- ed I674, or its companion-piece, an old family chest with ancient hinges and giant key, allure me. The warmth radiating from a huge porcelain stove in a corner, its lustrous tiles reflecting the candle- light, was languorous, of course, but the hing which impressed me most was that I was to sleep in a typical old Swedish bed with a canopy which looked like one of Martha Washingtonls, and which was set far back into the wall. The little room in uhich I slept seemed to enfold me, and I fell into a sleep cradled in a strange, sweet secur- ity full of dreams of the coming day and sooth- ed by the simple beauty of the room. The next day, we gathered at grandmoth- erls house for the customary beloved Christmas festival. The rooms were gay with red lacquered Candelabra, for there must be only candlelight. A bowl of evergreen and red berries was the huh of a bountifully spread table in the kitchen: for it is traditional in all homes, that on Christmas Eve the family and servants join in observing the old customs. The kitchen in rural Nerike to me did not suggest dish-washing. It was rath- er a fascinating place with polished copper ket- tles of all shapes and sizes, each hung on its oifvn peg within reach of the cook. Trailing vines framed the windows, and a bright tablecloth wov- en by my grandmother, gave an atmosphere of wholesome family life, like that prevailing in the early New England kitchen. We gathered ,about SES.llME-- the stove on which was a huge copper kettle to get ready for the tradition of all dipping bread together, using forks, however, instead of fingers as in former times. Finally, we moved to the dining-room for the meal proper. At a signal from grandmother, after finish- ing our meal, we rose from the table and follow- ed her into the living-room. Here the candlelit Christmas tree greeted us, gifts in gay wrappings beneath. Lilly, being her youngest grandchild, brought her the family bible, and she read the Christmas story. She finished by asking a Christ- mas blessing. Erick distributed the gifts as my father read the name on each package. There were etchings, a small handwoven copy of an al- tar cloth, a church and houses carved in wfood, toys, and other pleasing gifts. The evening end- ed with Christmas hymns, and we parted early because we anticipated going to church at five oiclock the next morning. The next morning, church bells began chim- ing at four. The household was already astir and our fire crackled merrily. Here, in America, we would not be getting up before nine olclock on Christmas Day. Can you imagine my surprise when I saw what was laid out for me to wear- a gay red bodice, a bright green apron, a hand- woven black shirt, a finely embroidered white bib and a kerchief. I had never seen anything like that before. At home we wore plain clothes, and we would have thought of this sort of dress as suitable for a masquerade party. The sleigh was waiting and we joined the pilgrimage to the old village church. I had always gone to church in an automobile, and it was something thrilling to be riding in a sleigh. Church bells and sleigh bells jingled and mingled. When the service be- gan, every seat was occupied, and from my place in the pew the church was a pageant of color. Everyone would have been dressed in their new Christmas finery if I were back home, but here the peasants had come in provincial dress, men Wearing short sheep-skin jackets over 'their gay bright vests, and combed sheep's wool edged the ooats of their womenfolk. The two ministers wore scarlet chasubles which were a bright con- trast to the somber dress of our ministers and priests. Everything was really quite different from America. All and even more than I had anticipated had come true. GRACE LARSON. SHORT distance from my home is a quaint little house that is most delightful to vis- it. On gloomy as well as sunny days I enjoy nothing better than to saunter over to grandmothers, where I know something pleasant is awaiting me. Often as I open the front door, which leads to a bright orderly household, I am welcomed by the spicy aroma of ginger cookies recently removed from the oven. These cookies Page Forty-Four '-SESAME are the most luscious ever baked, and I know that I am free to eat as many as I choose. Again there may be no tempting odors from the kitchen, but every grandchild knows as well as I where may be found the Hbee-hivei' candy jar that dis- closes so many surprises. The jar is the most popular object in the house for the simple reason thait' it is never found empty. However, it is not only candy and cookies that draw me to my favorite resort, for both of my grandparents are keen and alert and in either one may be found a ready opponent for any table game. In the winter, it is one of my most pleasant pastimes to draw up a high-backed chair before the old-fashioned fireplace and combat with my gray-haired grand- father in a game of checkers. The old felllow is hard to beat, but he is a good loser, when by rare chance I am victor. On bright summer days we often carry our chairs to the garden behind the house where majestic hollyhocks, graceful lark- spur, diminutive pinks, and smiling pansies bloom in all their glory. Here we either play one of our favorite games, or engage in conversation. Grandfather is one of the most interesting con- versationalists I know, for he is able to discuss at great length many world affairs as well as to narrate no end of boyhood stories. These tales often. last from early affternoon up to the time mother nature puts the sun to bed and reminds me that I have a home of my own. It is only then that I reluctantly go, but as I leave I am already making plans to return soon again to the little white house with the green shutters, that holds so many joys for me. PHYLLIS LEVVIS. Third Dimension HERE is a large oblong of tough paper hanging on the far wall. In its center there is an irregular, pied splotch which covers nearly the whole sheet. The rest of the space is taken up with .a sort of field of pale blue spotted here and there with various colors. The whole thing has been shellacked, and it gleams in the light from the window. It is a map. I have a very definite reason for liking maps whether they are large or small, physical or po- litical, black-and-white or vari-colored. I can ap- preciate the lovely hues and the superb craftsman- ship on some maps, but these things do not thrill me as they might a person of a more artistic temperament. Neither am I student enough to be made happy by the long avenues of knowl- edge and learning which are opened to the lucky few when they merely gaze at a map. Perhaps the tremendous history behind each little boundary line and each little block of color has something to do with their captivation of me, but I can even become sleepy over history. But I do want to travel, and with a map in my hands I can soar from one end of the earth to the other with such utter .abandon that sometimes I startle even my- self. One moment I am contemplating turning Mohammedan, having fallen under the influence of a brilliant, polished Turkg and the next I am clinging desperately to a sled which is careen- ing over the wastes of Alaska through a blinding blizzard. But even in the midst of my wildest dreams, I am sobered when I remember that it is a gala occasion indeed for me to leave Penn- sylvania. Then I turn back to my map and soon all earthly shackles have fallen away again and I wander over the steppes or cautiously weave my way through a treacherous swamp. You must agree that this is certainly a cheap way to trav- el, if nothing else. , Now that you know that I like maps be- cause I want to travel, you might ask why I want to travel. Since many people are perfectly con- tent to remain in tftheir own home townw all their lives, I should think that your question would be quite natural. I have read a great.de,al about various places and have discovered that many writers preach that ,after you have traveled a greart deal, you are convinced that the world isa rather small place after all. It may sound child- ish, but I can not rid myself of the illusion that this earth is really rather spacious, and I feel rather unsophisticated when I read such an opin- ion. If extensive travel will make me agree with these distinguished authors, I shall feel that I have accomplished something. I have attended a few lectures about some regions and have found that a lecturer is always enthusiastic even if he does affect omnipotent knowledge of his subject. Invariably, I find the lecturer's ardor contagious, and I yearn to experience a few things so that I, too, can be enthusiastic. Finally, I have a few friends who have traveled extensively, and their anecdotes always fire me to long to see places and meet people. It seems that no matter who the traveler is or where he is traveling, something queer happens to him: and I know that I would enjoy queer things if they would only happen to me. But perhaps you don't feel this way about maps at allg I know my sister doesnlt. Her views are entirely different from mine. One evening my small brother and I were sprawled out on the living-room Hoof eagerly scanning a map of Asia which had just come with the National Geogra- phic magazine. Dick, with typical small-boy in- quisitiveness, kept asking me questions about the things he saw. His never ceasing interrogation was just the stimulus I needed, and soon I was drama- tizing life in a lamasery in Tibet for him. My enthusiasm increased, mounted until before long I was on the threshold of a real dramatic achieve- ment when I caught a glimpse of Helens super- ior sneer as she sat back and witnessed the per- formance. Feeling very discomfitted, I asked her in 'my most superior tone what her views on the subject were. I must admit that I was consider- ably abashed when her cutting reply came back, f'My dear Thomas, to me, maps have always been mere scrawlings on a not-too-black blackboard which a tired teacher half-heartedly explains toia Page Forty Fwe W l A 9 , i r I P L : bored classf' Of course, Dick did not know what she meant, but he must have gathered from her tone that something was wrong, for he picked up his map and went mournfully to ,another room. Now, when I explain anything to him, I keep a wary eye peeled for Helen. I think that people Wfho cannot derive some pleasure from studying a map are missing a great enjoyment. Why maps should be considered by anybody mere scrawlings, I fail to understand. Surely there is something in any map which should appeal to everybody. Scientifically exact and meticulously drawn, they satisfy the realistg colorful and suggestive of adventure, they please the romanticist. There are so many basic quali- ties present in them, that the idea of their be- ing uscrawlings' appears slightly ridiculous. Of course, a more stolid person than myself might see nothing romantic or realistic either, in themg but this person would be blinded by his own stolidity. There is romanticism and realism, too, in every one of a mapls lines, because someday I shall travel along some of those lines. I can picture myself now, trudging along through some deep valley in a vast, unmapped re- gion of Tibet. The mountains are immense, and their presence serves as a spiritual guard for me. Each time I round a little knoll, new magnificence soars into view. I am walking on grass which is green and lush, and the air is remarkably clear and fresh, but warm: my eyes, however, are fastened on the snow-capped ancients which inun- date the horizon with their rounded crests. I turn a last great corner, and another enormous valley rolls open before me. At the far end, a lamasery of ethereal beauty squats, quietly and unobtrusively harmonizing with its setting of simple beauty and dignity. For a moment I am enthralled with it all, but soon I hurry forward toward the building where I know a hot meal and gracious hospitality is mine for the asking. But now the janitor has entered the room and is lowering the window shades. There is a last shimmer of red from the enchantress on the wall, and I walk out of the room once more just an ordinary person who has never even seen the ocean. THOMAS HODGES. Odoriferous Odors HE odors of a Thanksgiving dinner in the making are most tempting. Of the num- erous odors pervading a kitchen just around dinner time there are three very special ones which would delight anyone. A turkey that has been roasting in the oven emits the most delicious odors, and when removed from the oven it ,appears a study in brown still sizzling from the heat. As it is pricked with a fork, grease spurts out in miniature geysers denoting that the turkey has been roasted sufficiently. Pumpkin pie, another characteristic dish of a Thanksgiv- ing dinner, is a delicacy greatly enjoyed in al- most every home on this day. Pumpkin as gold- en as summer sunshine, mixed with fragrant spices is next to be popped into the oven and to add its fragrance to the numerous odors of the kitch- en. On removing it from the oven it is sur- prising to find that our pie has turned from a golden yellow to a firmly-set, mellow, brown cus- tard. Meanwhile tiny cranberries have been set to popping and cooking, and as they cook they add their own odor to those already filling the kitchen and one which is distinctly different from that of either the pumpkin pie or the turkey. Be- ing very tart these tiny cranberries give off an odor which is extremely tempting and which also causes mouths to water, the usual result of cook- ing anything tart or sour. The tartness of the cranberries relieves the usual greasiness of the turkey while its blazing, scarlet color brightens and completes the meal. These delicious odors may have delighted the sense of smell, but oh, how the sense of taste is rewarded after the dinner has been served. ' V CAROLYN LOGANQ. ll Doesn'l I-lave To l'loal--- Carve ll OAP carving I have found develops abilities which otherwise would remain latent. A hobby such as stamp collecting serves only as a pastime, and improves one's abilities not a whit, but the time spent at soap carving is by no means wasted. When I get a pen knife in my hand and an inviting cake of soap before me, my creative instinct is aroused. I long to seize the soap and cut in with slashing lines the gen- eral outline of what I have conceived, but should I do that, no doubt some part of the figure would be badly proportioned. So first I sketch the idea on paper in several different views. In this pre- liminary planning and in the actual sculpturing, skill with the hands is developed, n the paring down and smoothing of the figure I develop my patience for detail to a high degree. When the statue is finished, I hold it up to the light. White as pure alabaster, the sculpture is made as vivid as a sunset by the imagination, fragile as china, with proper care it can remain as enduring as bronze. What a feeling of pride such an achieve- ment engenders in the breast of the craftsman! Watching a small figure take shape from an or- dinary cake of soap, knowing that it is a product of my own labor, awakens feelings Within me w'hich I had not dreamed I possessed. JACK COLHOUER.
