As dictators enslave weaker nations and threaten the free- dom and security of the stronger ones. our experts plead for closer cooperation between the United States and South America. The staff hopes that the material presented in these essays will help to promote the kind of understanding which alone can make such cooperation possible.

With 7,000,000 square miles, it is the fourth largest conti- nent in the world. The coast-line is peculiarly regular with few good har- 9 bors. Very few rivers flow from the interior, none of them are navigable very far inland, and they all empty into the 'l Atlantic. The Amazon, largest of South America's rivers, T is also the largest in the world. Even it, however, is dili- -V cult to navigate, and most of its tributaries have near their junction rapids or falls that make them of small navigable use. Yet the Amazon is the only means of transportation for an area two- thirds as large as the United States. The Rio de la Plata, the Guayaquil, and the Magdelena Rivers are the most navigable of the remaining rivers, and hence assume great importance commercially. North America and South America have in common the long chain of mountains which extends along the western coast, reaching from the Alaskan peninsula to Cape Horn. This chain is the principal mountain range of South America. It stretches 4500 miles: and while its width is not great, its peaks rise so high that they rank second highest in the world. Across the interior lowlands to the north and east rise three chains of comparatively old and worn mountains. The intervening valleys contain what was once much of the grandeur and rugged beauty of these mountains. Hidden in the Andes are three distinct series of active volcanoes, reaching a surprising total of over thirty. Between these mountain ranges lie the lowlands. West of the Andes lies a 100-mile strip reaching to the Pacific, but it is of relatively small importance. However, with the Andes on the west and the Plateau of Guiana on the east, lies a fertile valley known as the Ilanos, through which the Orinoco River winds its way. The other lowlands of the continent are the Amazon basin and the pampas, or open steppes, of Argentina, and the pasture lands of Brazil. The elevation is generally less than 1000 feet above sea level, although it has been stated that seven per cent of the continent has an elevation of more than 10,000 feet. The pampas is a wide-flung plain with fertile, sedimentary soil yielding a coarse grass upon which horses, cattle, and sheep thrive part of the year. It is drained by only one stream, although numerous pools of water stand about. The great savanas also are covered with a coarse, dry grass and scrub brush dotted only occasionally with a straggly clump of trees. The rainfall here is very irregular. For nine months of the year these plains receive ample precipitation, but for the remaining three months receive less than two inches. During these months the grass, trees, and all vegetation Withers away until the plain looks like a desert. These savanas spread over one-fourth of the continent. Two-thirds of South America, however, is covered by vast tropical forests. Half of this forest percentage is the dense tropical-rain forest in which both the variety of plant life and its rapid growth are so astonishing. Within these forests lie a hidden wealth in valuable timber, ornamental woods, dyewoods, cinchona, india-rubber, vegetable ivory, mahogany, cedar, ebony, wax palm, bamboos, and fig trees, simply because the dense vegetation and dangerous insect pests make traveling overland so hard. The vegetation, although growing on an extensive scale, yields many exquisite flowers and fruits. The orchid Fourteen and Victoria Regia are excellent examples of the former: among the latter are oranges, limes, pineapples, mangoes, bananas, and pomegranates. The greatest expanse of South America has a rainy, tropical climate. Since the heat is often so intense, the mountains have proved a great help to this continent, moderating the climate by offering their cool slopes and sending down refreshing streams of fresh, cold water. The climate is varied also by the fact that South America extends on both sides of the equator in contrast with the position of North America. West coast winds first modify its atmo- sphere: and then as they pass over the Andes eastward, they saturate the Amazon basin with rain. The precipitation has reached two hundred inches here at times. After the winds have crossed the mountains again, they leave the western slopes dry. However, in the South, climatic conditions are reversed. The western winds bring the rain and leave the Southeast dry. Thus their winter months are June, July, and August, and their summer months, December, January, and February, South America is a continent rich in mineral resources. The Andes hold fabulous reserves of gold, silver, copper, and tin: Brazil has large gold and diamond mines: Bolivia, great silver mines: and Chile is rich in copper, silver, coal, guano, niter, borax, and iodine compounds. The country also holds mercury and lead deposits of great value. But the treasures of this country of rugged mountains and rolling plains, fringed in dense tropical forests and reached by only a few navigable rivers, lie locked in unscaled mountains and impenetrable jungles, and we can only guess at their value. galil- if-50 Q14 ,an- Qi QE w hit 11- - 1v,gfr- - jeu V 1 ii,.'f ,: ' - , ' ,I t .. : .' 5 -.I --: 1 ' -: I 1- . .. , ll ,, r az,-2 f O ' 0 ' is A ' A Ruth Bunch Flllwu GREAT CITIEQ3 QF SCDLJTI-I AMERICA y LVINACTON OUTH AMERICA may be likened to an uncut diamond, for ef' .1 .0 although civilization has known of the untold wealth awaiting Jil p development, it is only in recent years that man has made any i ill! fi , real effort to use this wealth. This fact also holds true for the cities, for contrary to the common belief that they are un- ? if healthy remnants of the past, they are extremely modern and f 'W S show an ever increasing tendency toward growth and im- m ,,,,,gL A provement. 2 A I Buenos Aires is the largest and most important city not only 1- I I fe . , of South America, but also the entire southern hemisphere. It , N ' is an outstanding example of rapid growth. From a population ',' ggi, p of 300,000 in 1880, it has risen to its present 2,476,887. It 'I' I M is both the capital and the heart of the Republic of Argentina: for situated at the head of a great ocean route from Europe to South America, it is served by ships of all nationalities, trading with coun- tries from all over the world. Two rivers, the Parana and the Uruguay, and all railways from the interior converge here. Thus Buenos Aires acts as a distributing point to the interior. The city is one of the leading manufacturing and shipping centers in South America, and exports products of the cattle and sheep industry, grains, and manufactured goods to all parts of the world. This city has been practically rebuilt in recent years, and now is a modern city with streets, parks, and plazas laid out in rectangular form. It lies on a plain which gently slopes down to the river. With an up-to-date drainage system, Buenos Aires lost its reputation for unhealthfulness. Its parks are many, and all are beautifully adorned with statues and fountains. Airlines connect Buenos Aires with almost all cities of importance in the western hemi- sphere. Its system of street-cars and subways is one of the best in the world, and all parts of the city are connected by them. The principal buildings are the Opera House, the state museum and library in conjunction with the Uni- versity of Buenos Aires, and a large cathedral. It is truly a busy and beautiful city. The second largest city in South America is Rio de Janeiro, the capital of Brazil. It was first discovered in 1502 by Goncalo Coelho, but did not begin to grow until about half a century ago. Now it has a population of 1,801,784 and covers about sixty square miles. Rio is located on the southern shore of a landlocked harbor Hfteen miles in length, and from two to ten miles in width. The city covers about six miles of this coast, which is a narrow alluvial strip between the sea and the mountains. A white marble promenade has been constructed along its entire length. Palatial buildings and numerous statues and fountains are outstandingly beautiful. Avenid Rio Branco is an interesting street one mile long and 108 feet wide. It has a line of palm trees down the center, passes over picturesque causeways. and is lined with ornate banks, hotels, and public buildings. This street is the chief artery of traffic of the city and is one of the most beautiful in South America. Rio de Janeiro is surrounded by precipitous, granite mountains, two of which, the Par de Assucar fSugar Loaf Mountainl and Corcovado, a jagged peak rising from the city, give individuality and beauty. The temperature ranges between 600 and 900, and along with the beauty attracts thousands of tourists annually. On the alluvial peninsula an airport, Santos Dumont, has been built, and furthers the tourist trade. The city's industrial activities are many, but few are of vital importance. Shipping, favored by the city's mag- niflcent harbor, is the leading industry. In the United States very little is ever heard about Sao Paulo, Brazil, and yet it is the third largest city in South America. It has a population of 1,268,- 894, most of whom are Germans and Italians. It is located 310 miles south Sixteen of Rio de Janeiro on a high plain bounded by hills. One of the best systems of roads and railways in the country connects it with Santos, a coastal town fifty miles away. Although Sao Paulo is lacking in scenic ,beauty, the tempera- ture is ideal for residents. The educational system is comparable to our own, and the English language is taught in a few schools. Many skyscrapers tower from the business district: the most famous of these, the Martinelli building, reaches twenty-five stories. Other famous buildings are the bishop's palace, a law school, a polytechnical school, and a large museum. Outstanding gardens, statues, and fountains line the front of the museum. However, San Paulo pays more heed to manufacturing than to beauty, and so is better known for its products and coffee trade than for architecture. One of the most beautifully situated cities is Santiago, capital of Chile and fourth largest city in this continent. Standing on a wide plain, 1706 feet above sea level, it is set in a ring of the snow capped Andes. It has a population of 85l,850, and covers an area of eight square miles. A nearly perfect climate prevails and, in addition to the scenic beauty, attracts people and business from every part of the globe. Because of the prevalence of earth- quakes, few houses exceed one story. This does not mean, however, that it has no large buildings whatever, for its mint, cathedral, post office, criminal courts, and homes of the presidents are all large and well-known. English is spoken to a certain extent, and the people imitate the English in many ways. It has enough skyscrapers, traffic problems, and bustle to warrant the name of a metropolitan area. The principal exports are gold, silver, and lead. The Mapocho River, crossing the city, has been put in an artincial rock channel, thus aiding its small but very important commerce. Its position in the Andes makes Santiago one of the most picturesque cities of the world, While its exported metals make it one of the richest. ' Montevideo, capital of Uruguay, is almost tied with Recife, Brazil, for fifth place with a population of 518,039. However, Montevideo is actually smaller, but in my estimation more interesting. It is built on a promontory of land jutting between Horseshoe Bay and the Atlantic Ocean, and extends inland around the Cerro, a mountain from which it gets its name. Its best known buildings are also the cathedral, the opera house, the parliament house, and the Palacio Salvo, which is twelve stories high and has a tower fourteen stories high. Commercial development has been retarded greatly by the shallow- ness of the bay: but drydocks have been built, and now it is sharing the trade of a great ocean route from Europe and North America with Buenos Aires. The chief exports are wool, hides, tallow, dried beef, and meat extracts. A marked difference between Montevideo and other South American cities is that its population has decreased steadily, probably due to its lack of attraction to tourists and to its poor industries. The next group of cities diminish rapidly in population. They are as follows: Recife for Pernambucoj, Brazil, 529,863: Lima, Peru, 400,000: Porto Alegre, Brazil, 368352: Bogota, Colombia, 336,707: Para, Brazil, 309.2383 and Valparaiso, Chile, 245,000. These cities represent the enter- prising growth of all cities in South America. Though for some reason, either because of the poor attractions to people or for the lack of commerce, they seem to have little chance of overtaking the top ranking cities. Each, however, is noted for something: Recife, for cane and cotton: Lima, for the contrast of old Spanish houses with the succeeding modern ones: Porto Alegre, for being the most modern in all Brazil: Bogota, for its reputation in intellectual and cultural activities: Para, for its commerce in rubber, cacao, and timber, and its extremely hot temperature: and Valparaiso, for being the commercial center of the West coast, and for its name of Pearl of the South Pacific, because of its agreeable climate and background of snow capped mountains. .Every city, from the first to the last, has shown a marked improvement in conditions during the last decade, and all but one have increased in population. Some are even more modern and beautiful than our own cities, and all are ambitious to be considered among the most important cities in the world. 5e,,,.,,,,,e,, SOUTH AMERICAN PEOPLES By RUTH CERP , HE tango with its strongly accented rhythm: dark handsome F caballeros, strumming their guitars, singing sweet serenades surrounded by vivid flowers in the patios of the white stucco haciendas-all these and many more pictures are called to mind when anyone mentions South America. South America -a truly magical name! The South America that we hear of is beautiful and romantic. We think of colorful street fairs, of rows upon rows of booths where gaily colored cloths and flowers are sold, of pottery, and of trinkets that tourists take back with them as souvenirs, We think of black eyed senoritas in their bright dresses and lace mantillas, and of the senors in their full trousers, boleros, and brilliant sashes. Almost equally famous are the delightful haciendas, surrounded by beautiful gardens of vari-colored flowers. The people of South America love color and flowers so well that they grow them inside the houses as well as outside. Homes-the centers of them with no roof but the blue sky! In the center of these patios are marble fountains often alive with fish and surrounded by vines. Brilliant birds sometimes nest in the vines and rich flowers. The houses have beautiful wrought-iron banisters and rails around the ever present bal- conies. In such a setting, it is not surprising that the faultless manners and grace of the senors make foreign ladies sigh and foreign men envious. There is, however, another side of South America that is not so common in novels and movies as the other: it is more realistic and important, but equally colorful. Like North America, South America was occupied by Indians at the time of discovery. Although the tribes different in appearance, language, and customs, all were true American Indians. Some lived in a comparatively high degree of civilization, while others were fierce savages. In Colombia, Equador, Peru. Bolivia, and Chili, where the more advanced tribes lived, many relics of ancient art and many ruins of old buildings were found. Best known of all the old cultures is that of Peru. The Indians of ancient Peru were industrious and worked hard in their diligently cultivated fields which they irrigated by systems of canals. They wove cotton cloth from which they made good clothing, often decorated with designs in colored beads. They bred the llama, and when it was tame, trained it for a pack animal. Since they could not write, they kept accounts by knotted cords called guipus. Differently colored cords were used for different things, and knots of varying sizes stood for varying numbers. After the discovery of America two nations gained possession of most of South America-Spain and Portugal. Portugal secured what is now Brazil: Spain gained almost all the rest. Most of the Spaniards settled where the native tribes had already been living a quiet and contented life. In those districts the tribes and the Spaniards mingled, so today there is a large 'mestizo', or mixed population whose mode of life has been influenced by the customs of Spain. In Peru, Brazil, Chili, and the Argentine Republic we find people who are making progress, and in whose cities are fine buildings, handsome parks, and beautiful statues. It is a great mistake to think that any of the South American countries are uncivilized. However, even in countries like Peru and Chili, which are centers of modern life, there are many pure-blooded Indians who still keep up their old life and customs. In the dense forests that border the mighty Amazon and its tribu- taries, and in the eastern Andes, are some Indian tribes still savage or in a state of low barbarism. The Jivaros, a tribe in eastern Equador living near ff? Q all - - , I - 'ag' to their sweethearts on vine-covered balconies: fountains f I i .- Ag 'ia N I Eighteen the headwaters of the Amazon, still practice the savage custom of beheading their victims, shrinking the heads, and displaying them as trophies. The people in South America vary in complexion. A deep brown skin is common in the mountains, while yellow predominates among the natives of the warmer regions. The native is slender and straight, his hair dark, his beard scant, and his eyes deep-set. To the native population are added peoples of foreign birth, principally of Spanish, Portugese, and Italian blood. A peculiar characteristic of the native tribes of Brazil is their tendency to despon- dency as a result of malnutrition and improper sanitation. Although many of the native tribes cling to their old tribal religions, some have been converted to Christianity. The predominant religion among the Spaniards and other immi- grants is the Roman Catholic. In the large cities there are beautiful cathedrals and churches in addition to the many public buildings. The educational system is improving, and the citizens are coming more and more into their own rights. The early Spaniards established universities after receiving charters granted by the King or Pope. In general, only the wealthy could afford an education. Private tutors or primary schools con- ducted by the church trained pupils for the universities, while the poor remained almost illiterate. Through Sarmiento of Argentina, interest in elementary education was introduced from abroad, and although elementary schools are not uniform throughout the continent, they seem to be effective since illiteracy has been reduced from ninety to fifty per cent in the last fifty years. Education has been and still is hampered by the sharp class distinction. The upper classes send their children to private schools, from there to secondary schools, and then to the university. The elementary school teachers, recruited generally from the lower classes, are often incompetent. Most of the secondary schools are taught by students of the universities. The language is fast becoming entirely Spanish, since the schools are doing away with the native tongues of the various tribes. Vocational schools ha-Ve been removed to separate buildings. Elementary educa- tion is now compulsory and is in general directed by the government. Normal schools are springing up, but there is yet much to be done. In addition to the three R's there has also been some encouragement of the line arts. A closer bond has been established between the United States and South America by exchange scholarships and fellowships. South American students and teachers come to the United States, study our educational system, and take back new ideas with them. But however modern South America may become, may it never lose the peculiar charm of its former existence-the gay senioritas and handsome senors, singing and dancing to the music that has come to signify the romantic land of color and beauty, and of bright flowers and brilliant birds. SIMON BOLIVAR By RUTH DONADON Rebel Liberator George Washington of South America We salute you! Driven by fires Pursued by enemies You rallied to your banner the men who Wrested from tyranny The precious independence of their countries. Long may you live in the memory of your South American people. Long may you stand a symbol of Iiberty to the oppressed in all lands. Nineteen 1 A 5 , M, 4 'I wenly E35 QU ECUVIQX .e-f'--.KH Boamg SIMON BOLIVAR By FRANCES RUF HE life of the man who is often called the 'George Washington of South America is naturally of deep interest to us. Simon Bolivar was born in Caracas, Venezuela, on July 24, 1783. His parents were members of a prominent Spanish family, but at the age of six he was left an orphan. As heir to a large estate, he came under the guardianship of his uncle, Don Carlos. Even during these early years Bolivar rebelled violently against unfair oppression and showed the tendencies that later led him into the dangerous movements which freed much of South America from Spanish domination. While young Simon was a ward of Don Carlos, a tutor was engaged who was to shape his destiny and consequently that of South America. This tutor, Simon Rodriguez, developed in Bolivar the perseverance and hatred of oppres- sion which were already dominant in him. He had the boy promise to risk not only his money but also his life in an effort to win freedom from the tyranny of Spain. He confided his political beliefs to the boy, who, through boastful talk to playmates, led authorities to discover the part Rodriguez had in a revolt which was about to come to a climax. Thus it came about that Simon Bolivar was left without a teacher. ,At fourteen he was sent to Spain to complete his studies, and during the years there he saw the court life and extravagance for which his people paid high taxes. At nineteen he married the young daughter of a wealthy nobleman and return with her to Venezuela, where she died three years later. Shortly after her death the grief-stricken young man again sailed for Spain, where he lived a short time with his wife's parents. When a decree issued by the king ordered all creoles, foreigners, and colonists to leave, he went to Paris. Here he met his old teacher, Simon Rodriguez, again. Almost immediately they departed on a walking tour of Southern Europe. During the long, pleasant days together the two men talked of many things, but, without doubt, the thing uppermost in each mind was the freeing of their homeland. It seemed that the moment the two were together sparks from the mind of one flew to the other, and without speech each understood the innermost feelings of the other. One day Rodriguez told the younger man of the plans for revolt in which he was involved years before: and as always, when the teacher talked, Bolivar was deeply moved and inspired. Rodriguez, too old to carry out his plans, was trying to arouse in the boy the will to do so. He was succeeding better than he thought! During one of their frequent excursions into notable Roman ruins, Simon Bolivar made his memorable vow. It was on Monte Sacro, as they returned home after a tiring but pleasant day, that he threw out his arms, and in a moment of extreme emotion, said in a low voice: On my honor, and on my life I swear that this arm shall never rest, this soul shall have no peace, until I have broken the shackles which chain us to Spain. In these words was promise of new life to people so long oppressed that they scarcely knew the meaning of liberty. After this unforgettable scene he spent a short time in Paris, and then departed for South America by way of the United States. He was eager to visit this land to the north of his in which so many of his ideals and beliefs were in practice, and he was impressed at once by our prosperous cities, fine schools, and democratic institutions. He was filled with admiration for the men of that time who dared to express their beliefs without fear of imprison- ment. Finally he left, inspired after seeing a place in reality which he had heretofore seen only in dreams. ' 'tiff . ,pkg , g Twenty-one Back in Venezuela, it seemed almost impossible to carry out his vow immediately. Francisco Miranda had appeared only a short time before to stir up the natives, but Spanish authorities had nipped his plan before he had progressed far. Miranda was greatly admired by Bolivar and by many others who feared the power of Spain. For many years there had been stirrings among the people, but as suddenly as a plan would form, its leaders would mysteriously disappear. It was a bad time, indeed, for Bolivar to begin his undertaking, for authorities were in a constant state of Watchfulness. So he slowly made his plans, organizing secret societies composed of the former playmates and neighbors who were now men who hated Spain. In 1808 the European situation was such that the Revolutionists were encouraged, for Napoleon was lighting against Spain and had, for a time at least, broken her power. This presented a splendid opportunity, for a Spain engrossed in her own troubles could not turn much attention to colonies thou- sands of miles away, Patriots of Venezuela declared war on France, and under a pretense of loyalty to Ferdinand, Simon Bolivar and his associates worked hard and fast against him. A civil war was waging in Spain, and Miranda wrote that the colonies were ripe for self-government: but as the plot was suspected, the captain-general sent by Ferdinand ordered many of the leaders arrested, and some sent from the city. Thus it was felt that the fire of revo- lution had again been extinguished. However, this time plans had gone too far. and suddenly the first steps were taken. In April, 1809, the new captain- general was forced to leave the country, and in Caracas a local form of govern- ment was established. This began the long string of revolutions in which Simon Bolivar was to figure prominently. After the success of Caracas, other rebellions sprang up within a month. Soon in every capitol of South America a local government was formed, and the entire continent was enveloped in revolution. The next years were times of hectic disorganization. Bolivar was not loved by the people, for he was just a struggling young man with strong convictions and a will to carry them out. During the years after the first step in Caracas, he was one day an admired hero: the next, a friendless scoundrel who had performed a foolish and impulsive deed. He was instrumental in freeing Argentina, Equador, Colombia, Bolivia, and Venezuela from Spain. He moved from one place to another, stirring up the easily aroused natives and greatly influencing the leaders by his sound, logical talk. He possessed the power to convince, and he used it to the fullest extent, throwing himself utterly into his eloquent speeches. He was a fine orator, never hesitating to speak his thoughts. and often suffering for his fiery words. From 1809 to 1812 New Grenada, or Colombia, was struggling for independence: and in 1819 Bolivar became its President. The name of this country, which included the present Venezuela and Panama, and later Quito, or Equador, was changed to Colombia. At that time practically all of the northern part of South America was free of Spain. The climax to Bolivar's career came about 1828 when he was president of three countries, Colombia, Peru, and Bolivia. Many thought that he was working for personal interests, and, indeed, it seemed true: for he was continu- ally trying to gather new countries under his wing. In truth, he was interested only in the freedom and union of all of South America under one government patterned after that of the United States. He should not be blamed because his plan failed, but should rather be credited with having liberated these countries from the tyranny of Spain. In 1829 he retired, his health broken by the vigorous and demanding life which he led. I-Ie died the next year at the age of 47: and years later, when his true character and goodness were realized, he was fittingly called the George Washington of South America. He had as many enemies as friends, as does every strong-willed man, but his example will live forever in the hearts of those to whom liberty and freedom are dear.

Q'-- of all alert Americans turn toward South America. The bulk gi V-a: 'ff' of our country's trade with South' America-is with the so- called 'AA-B-C countries -Argentina, Brazil, Chile. A late record shows that we had a trade of over 8100,- , 000,000 with Argentina, even though Argentina is the one Q South American country which depends chiefly on non- V American trade connections. From Argentina we receive flax- ' I seed, some wine from the vineyards in the western section, tobacco, hemp, bananas and olives. The various minerals we receive from Argentina include oil, copper, and iron. In return we ship to Argentina steel, timber, textiles, and other manufactured articles. Argentina, however, sends most of her meat to England. From Brazil the United States acquires most of her coffee. As a matter of fact we are Brazil's best customer for coffee. Brazil has some rubber, but not as much as the cultivated rubber plantations in the Far East, even though she has the soil and climate most suitable to this product. Although her rubber trade is minor now, it is gradually increasing. Brazil also exports cotton at an average of 268,719 tons annually. In return for her exports, she receives from the United States machinery and autos, and from many countries iron, steel, and manufactured articles. Our trade with Brazil amounts to over S250,000,000 annually. Chile's greatest export is nitrate of soda. This is required by many countries to stimulate better plant growth. It is not, however, the only enriching element countries need. Until just a few years ago, Germany furnished potash: the United States, phosphates: and Chile, the nitrates. Thus one product reveals the close trade connections among South America, the United States, and Germany. Unless the danger of possible European invasion on South American trade is removed to some extent and our Good Neighbor Policy is furthered, our chances of placing the Western Hemisphere on a self-sufficiency basis will be seriously threatened. Chile's nitrates are playing an important part in this struggle. Meanwhile Chile receives in return manufactured goods. Our trade with Chile is a little over SlO0,000,000 a year. In 1931 Mr. Henry Ford stated that he planned to establish a rubber empire of 5,000,000 acres in the Amazon valley. This idea has materialized. There is a possibility that this region might become a world-wide market for rubber. Such enterprises tend to draw Americans to South America. In order to further our friendly relationship with the Latin Americans, these Americans who travel or go to live in South America must treat the Latins with due respect and not give them the impression that we Americans are undesirable friends. Many opportunities are to be found in South America, but Americans who exploit them must adhere strictly to our principles of fair play. Europe receives from South America practically the same variety of mate- rials as does the United States. England has a shipping route leading through the Panama Canal. Germany has an air lane running up the eastern coast to the tip of South America, then traveling across the ocean to Lisbon, to Marseilles, to Frankfort, and finally to Berlin. The United States has both a shipping lane and an air lane. Some of our ships travel up the west coast, through the Panama Canal to New York, while others continue up the western coast to San Francisco. Twenty-five In comparing foreign investments in South America, we find that the United States has the largest amounts. In 1936 a graph showed that the United States controlled thirty-five per cent of Latin American imports. The United Kingdom had about ten per cent, while Germany had fifteen per cent. The rest was divided among smaller countries. According to a discussion of the Chicago Round Table, however, the trade between the United States and Latin America is more important to South America than to us because it makes up forty per cent of her trade as compared to only eighteen per cent of ours. It is, however, very important to us. Latin America produces but few outstanding products which are in demand. The fact that each Latin American country produces a small amount of raw materials, changes and regulates its type of trade. Latin Americans are always looking for countries who need raw materials, and this tends to discourage the idea of Pan-American self-sufficiency. It has been said that we can produce a greater supply of manufactured goods than Latin America can pay for by reciprocity, as we do not need raw materials in such quantities. In l937 Latin American trade with European countries amounted to about fourteen per cent of their total trade. Along with this foreign trade have come many evils. Barter agreements are made with foreign countries. A bartering country buys or orders a large amount of materials, and when South American countries try to reciprocate, they either can't get what they want or the price is extremely high. In other words the bartering country is not able to pay for what is ordered. Our country does not make barter agreements. There is little trade with Asia, although it is believed that some day Japan might give the U. S. some competition in textiles because of Japan's cheap labor. It is believed that a Pan-American trading agency will be established to regulate the trade between the Americas. The new Vice-President of the United States, when he was Secretary of Agriculture, stated that as far as Hitler was concerned those countries who supported him would get the business: those who refused probably would find their export markets closed. Thus in this way Hitler might easily dominate both North and South America. ,He also stated, If the Americas, for example, could consolidate their sales of raw materials through one great inter-American corporation and sell for export only through that agency, they would be in as strong a bargaining position as Germany. The U. S. has a trade with South America amounting to a billion dollars annually. As a result of this second World War, South American surpluses are piling up, and there is a possibility of England's losing her trade with South America. Mr. Wallace stated that we must educate our people engaged in Agriculture to the fact that for a time our buying agricultural products from South America will lower their market, but we must establish a firm and constant trade with South America. Our greatest problem in obtaining this trade is to keep Germany out, at least to the extent of political upsets and disorders, by using trade agreement weapons. Mr. Spenser, also a member of the Chicago Round Table, says, Of course if worst comes to worst, and as a way of saving the Americas, it would be cheaper for America to buy the surpluses and dump them in the ocean. This idea may appear rather radical, but it seems advisable that we should make many serious sacrifices to save our democracy from the totalitarian tyrants. Twenty-six ART IN SGUTH AMERICA By MARJORIE LUGENBEEL 4 4, SI-IE necessity for closer cooperation between the Americas has stimu- ing between peoples can be achieved, however, on this basis alone. A knowledge of the art and general culture of South American countries is just as important to a full appreciation as is any other phase of civilized life. It is true that the civilizations of the two nations are essentially different: but as modern methods and materials are adopted, the two Americas and their arts are brought closer together. lated the interest of citizens of the United States in the political li ..,' lj and commercial life of South America. No true understand- No one who visits Peru fails to sense the greatness of its past. Though we have no written record of its history, we know that the empire of the Inca Indians was one of the most perfect governments ever established in the world. Their caste system seems strange to us, but it was accepted by them as a natural order. And though this system discouraged among artists the strong individual- ism that is shown in other countries, the culture was enriched by the early inhabitants who drifted into this region from different parts of South America, bringing with them their well-developed arts. The Indians had already generally developed the arts of spinning, weaving, and pottery making. The designs woven into the Peruvian fabrics were con- ventional and largely geometric. Many of the textiles are today rated as the world's best artistically: they are frequently being copied in modern art. Archaeologists have unearthed pottery which shows great skill in work- manship, and beautiful temples which the Indians built to the Sun God. The Inca city of Machu Puchu, rich with palaces, temples, fountains, and terraces, rests upon the crest of a mountain which rises high above a valley. The work shows not only great engineering ability but also astonishing skill in cutting stone. The stones are so closely fitted one can hardly slip a knife blade between them. This architecture is the expression of a people who were governed by a deep feeling for God. Another influence in South American art is that of Spain. This can be found in the street, the old houses, and in the cathedrals. The Spanish con- quest of Peru by Pizarro in 1532 brought about the gradual downfall of the Indian. The Spaniards forced the Indian culture into the background while their own was encouraged. The Indians were enslaved and were very slow to grasp the new culture of the Spanish. Thus two distinct classes were created, one of which was never to arise and throw off the yoke of a conquered people. Today the ancestors of the first Sun Worshippers dress in their brilliant costumes and perform the ancient rituals of their dance. The haunting music that accompanies these dances has a strange quality that is buried in the past. Contemporary South American artists seem to be very busy, vigorous, and eager to learn. This trait is shown especially among the writers, painters, educators, and musicians. The arts are being given an important part of the program in the schools. There are several organizations designed to assist young artists. Amigos del Arte CFriends of Artj has an exhibition gallery open to the young artist who wishes guidance and help along these lines. Alice Blackwell's Some Spanish American Poets shows the direction of their literature. The emperor of Brazil, Don Padro II., did much to encourage the artistic traits of his people. Many promising young men and women as well as the Twenty-seven unskilled laborers are beginning to play a great and important part in the development of the cultural life of their nation. Heitor Villa-Lobos has been called the most significant twentieth century composer of both Americas. If the bigness of South America has prevented her from completely coordi- nating her creative life, the interesting racial mixtures have, to a certain extent, compensated her with a fascinating richness of color. The dominant national trait expressed in the people's contribution to South American art shows a deep concern in the interpretation of their own lands. The element of mystery seems to be a genuine characteristic, and this fact has often impressed the artists of other countries. From Louisiana and stretching across New Mexico and Arizona to Cali- fornia, there is a cultural background founded upon the influence of South America. To some extent the language, social institutions, customs, and archi- tecture in these states reflect this influence. At the same time in South America there is a trend to the modern in architecture, clothing, music, and techniques in painting, which reveals the influence of movements in the United States. Indeed the Americas have something to give each other. Each has some- thing of great value to contribute to developing a great Pan-American Art. . - 'Ei' .f: - ,,f5lfE33EfLQ , Q , .- , 1 Mk 55 ' V . ,. f,gg5 133 ff 1- 5' fc - , ,V if .W 1-Qgssfififtlllf - at x 'w s- , A' fw Wf'f' fe- -- 3 ' Lorcnc lV1lIiams Twenty-eight ARE THE GOVERNMENTS OF SOUTH AMERICA Tl-IREATENED? By DOROTHY CANTONI . X Y, O UNDERSTAND the relationship between the United States 'iam and South America, it is necessary that we understand the ll el' HAZ' organization of the South American governments. Some of l-all ,tk lr i them are formed along lines similar to our own. I 'C' Brazil is governed under the constitution adopted on February 24, 1891. This document is described in the pre- amble as the Constitution for the Republic of the United States of Brazil, and a reading shows obvious influences of the Constitution of the United States. This type of government is called a federal, republican, representative form, and consists in the everlasting and indissoluble union of the former provinces of Brazil as states in the new republic. Like the American Constitution, that of Brazil contains a special section devoted to a declaration of individual rights. Most of the guarantees of indi- vidual liberty and property are familiar features of our state constitutions and the first amendments to our federal Constitution. The legislative power in Brazil is vested in the National Congress, subject to the approval of the Presi- dent of the Republic. The executive power is vested in the President as elective head of the nation. The judicial power is taken over by a Federal Supreme Court and in such inferior courts as the Congress may create. Argentina, commonly called the Argentina Republic, is governed under the constitution which was revised in 1860 when Buenos Aires entered into the Argentine Confederation. This constitution also provides for the federal, republican, representative form of government. The Argentine legislature is a bicameral body organized along lines closely related to those followed in the organization of our Congress. The executive power is vested in the Presi- dent of the Argentine nation. The judicial power is conferred upon the federal government. The written constitution under which Chile is governed was published in 1833 and established the principles of a unified government. The document includes a list of guarantees of individual rights. In the organization of the legislature, which is called the National Congress, the bicameral system has been followed. The supreme chief of the nation is a citizen with the title of president, and the constitution intrusts to the president the administration and government of the state. The constitution says little about the judicial branch of the government besides asserting its 'independence of the executive and legislative branches. Peru, Bolivia, Venezuela, Colombia, and Ecuador are also governed under their own constitutions which distribute the powers of the government among the three traditional departments. The governments of Uruguay and Paraguay follow the same procedure as do the governments in the other countries of South America. Twenty-nine So long as the South American nations cling to ideals similar to our own, the United States need not be concerned about foreign encroachments. With sympathetic governmental organizations, both continents will strive for the same goals and will be mutually helpful in their development. It is, therefore, important to us that South American nations follow the road to democracy. Too often, however, the presidents of the South American republics are that in name only. Strong men , who sometimes secure the highest offices under clouded conditions, manage to succeed themselves by virtue of a sympathetic army rather than by a contented electorate. True democracy has not yet reached all parts of South America. The United States can do much to help its develop- ment by assisting in raising the educational level of the masses of its people. Are the governments of South America threatened by subversive influences today? The fifth column is a military organization of German, Italian, and Spanish individuals, who are organized under the direction of their home governments for the purpose of extending the influence of these governments in Latin America. The activities are directed from Berlin, and the whole staff must answer to a chief of staff in Berlin. The system of the Hfifth columnists is fairly general all over Latin America. The organizer, together with his agents, has a card index of everybody living in South America who has family or business connections under German control. These people are interviewed and told what part of their incomes they must pay to protect the lives and property of their loved ones. Sometimes this payment reaches as high as twenty-five per cent of their incomes. Few of these innocent victims can escape. If they report to the police, there is the danger of this blackmail being carried out in Europe. The leaders of these fifth column movements have a rich field to work. South America has 2,313,000 people of German descent, 6,174,000 of Italian, and many millions of Spanish descent. In Brazil alone there are two million Germans-possible members of the fifth column. These people are not German born, but they are of German ancestry and will be influenced by the agents sent from Germany to carry on the work of the organization. Thus they are powerless to resist the drive to win a monopoly on South American raw mate- rials for Germany, and to provide a market for German manufactured goods. In this way South America would become a German colony. The South American countries are handicapped in their efforts to suppress these activities. The political situation in each country is different because the governments are based on the strength of the army. But if the German fifth column succeeds, it will mean the end of democracy in South America. And because the American business man will have to compete with the German government, it will also mean the end of American business there. If Hitler wins the war against Great Britain, the Americas can find safety only in unity. Thirty PAN-AMERICANISM By BOB MORRIS , OUTH of the Border has recently become a familiar phrase to all of us. It should recall, however, more than a popular ,Q,, song. South of our border lies South America, a continent ' rich in minerals, raw materials, and food products. Today, 'Y c'ar if because it occupies such a strategic position with respect to the United States,and because we have so many things in com- mon, South America assumes a position of vital importance. Pan-Americanism is not just another phrase that has come into existence since the beginning of the Second World War. It is a force which has been growing for a long time. In order to have a clear understanding of it, it is necessary to think of its development, About the time that Simon Bolivar freed New Granada, Venezuela, Ecuador, Chile, Argentina, and Peru from Spanish control, President Monroe formally issued what has come to be known as the Monroe Doctrine. It applied in part to the boundary lines in the Northwest then in dispute between Russia, Great Britain, and the United States. By 1815 the Holy Alliance had been formed in Europe and its leaders were listening to the pleas of the king of Spain for help in recovering his rebellious colonies. At the suggestion of the British foreign minister, our government stepped in to prevent such a move. On December 2, 1823, in his annual message to Congress, President Monroe declared that this Western Hemisphere was no longer open to colonization by European powers, and that any attempt to extend their systems to any portion of the American continent would be viewed as the manifestation of an unfriendly disposition toward the United States. We were not to meddle with European politics, and in return Europe was not to disturb the political status of the republics on this side of the ocean. Thus, from recognizing the independence of our sister republics in 1822, we proceeded to guarantee that independence against European interference. Since 1823 the Monroe Doctrine has been regarded as the cornerstone of our foreign policy. It has been emphasized by every president since Monroe. While forbidding Europe to interfere with the Latin American republics, the Doctrine said nothing about interference with their politics or finances or wars and revolutions by the United States. Such interference has been frequent since the beginning of the twentieth century, and it has been generally resented by Latin America. As Walter Lippmann says, For while it is true that we have acquired territory by force of arms, and that on many occasions in the past we have intervened by force in neighboring countries, the record after more than a hundred years is there to prove that this hemisphere, which was a colony of Europe, is today the home of more than twenty independent states. Our record is far from perfect: we too have been infected here and there, now and then with the virus of imperialism. But we have regarded it as an infection, as something disgraceful to be exposed and combatted when it shows itself. Never have the American people as a whole believed, nor long allowed greedy Thirty-one interests among them to believe, that they were called upon to rule over alien peoples. As in the past, our sister republics to the south want our good will and even our protection against European aggression, if such protectionshould ever be needed: but they do not want to be dictated to and overshadowed by the great colossus of the North. President Roosevelt's good neighbor policy has improved our relations with Latin America considerably. We refrained from forcible intervention in a rebellion in Cuba in 1933, and in 1934 we gave up the Platt Amendment which had been the legal basis for our intervention on live previous occasions. We think of Pan-Americanism as the cooperation politically and economi- cally of the republics in the Western Hemisphere that have common interests. These interests might be listed as the belief in democracy and a republican form of government, the desire for cooperation with one another, the conviction that all difficulties can be settled by arbitration instead of by war, and a feeling that the countries which comprise the Pan-American Union should all be on an equal footing. The problem which we must solve is that of securing the full cooperation of the South American republics in a plan which will preserve a free economic system and free political institutions in the two Americas. In order to improve the trade relations between the United States and South America, and to bring this country into a closer commercial union with those countries, there have been in existence between the United States and Latin America reciprocal trade agreements which were begun under President Garfield. These trade agreements are very important today because we have to import some of our vital war materials from South America. The South American countries, in order to survive, must export their surplus products. The great European market has been lost because of the present war, and con- sequently we must buy their products even though we may not need them, in order to keep their friendship. The South American republics depend upon us for protection because the military power of the individual countries is almost negligible. The recent acquisition of the chain of new naval and air bases stretching from Newfound- land to Guiana in the Atlantic greatly improves our position. The new bases are to be occupied jointly by the United States and the South American coun- tries. This means shutting the last unguarded eastern gate of approach to the Panama Canal: it will extend the United States patrol zone up to one thousand miles, east, south and north: and it will reinforce present United States defense barriers to the vital northeastern industrial areas and the Panama Canal. Mr. Wallace said recently, i'The Citadel of liberty is all America from the Arctic Ocean to the Antarctic , and that this country could not afford to abandon to the common enemy any part of the South American continent that would serve as a base for further aggression. He quoted Hitler as saying, We shall create a new Germany in South America . Mr. Wallace said that this was the reason for our Pan-Americanism policy of defense. In 1940 the Pan-American Conference was held in Havana, Cuba. There Secretary of State Hull pointed out that we must all stick together, no matter how far off any particular danger spot might seem. The republics affirmed Thirry-:wo their intention of defending one another and made arrangements to prevent the transfer to Hitler of American colonies belonging to the Nazis' victims. They also agreed to suppress the subversive activities of totalitarian agents. and to provide for economic cooperation and the formation of a common economic front. There has been a great influx of Germans and Italians into South America during the past few years, which might prove to be a hindrance to our Pan- American Union. Italy's influence is rather questionable and Spain is not liable to get far in its drive to spread the Facist doctrine in South America. The republics, born of bitter revolutions, are indifferent to the mother country, look on it as backward and bankrupt anyway. Meanwhile the Export-Import Bank Bill by which S500,000,000 in loans will be made available to Latin American countries, has been signed by the President. But Mr. McNary doubts if we can buy hemisphere solidarity. Their political liberty of action is one thing that all of the American republics guard jealously. In the past few years Pan-Americanism has become a reality for the simple reason that the one thing which we unquestionably have in common-a desire to retain our independence-now seems so much more important than any or all of the things that divide us. A point has been reached in history where citizens of North and Central and South America can re-echo the words of Benjamin Franklin when the Declaration of Independence was signed: We must indeed all hang together, or most assuredly we shall all hang separately. 2342.

I went on a combined hayride and Wiener roast, and I didn't go with Bob. Bob's the one I date when I can't do any better. He always helps me with the dishes, and the family adores him. Bob is always moving furniture for Mother or fixing my sister's bike-that is, if he's not too busy building model airplanes for Jack. In fact, I think he comes to see the family as much as he does me. I know they like him as much as I do. Jim is just the opposite. He took me on the hayride last night. When I see him, at school usually, words flutter around in my throat like butterfiies, and I find it hard even to say hello. When he called the other night, I'd gone to bed. It was only eight-thirty, but the family had gone to the show, and Bob had been so early in arriving that I'd sent him home early. I had just settled in bed with a good magazine when the phone blurted out its impatient summons. I'm coming, I yelled, as I staggered resentfully down the stairs. Hello! I said in an angry voice to the blank face of the phone. What do you want? I knew it would be one of Bobby's friends wanting to know if he were there. May I please speak to Polly? a polite voice asked. Who is this? I said, determined to get rid of him in a hurry. 'iThis is Jim Ross! If a swarm of pink bats had floated through the air and settled on the phone, I could not have been more surprised. I started to ask if he were sure, but I decided that he should know. Unwilling to let him know it was I who had been so rude to him, I said I'd call Polly. Waiting two or three minutes, I picked up the phone, inwardly praying he hadn't hung up. 'lHello. It was all I could think of to say, but it seemed to fit the purpose. Hello, is this Polly? Stifling a wild desire to say you bet, I assured him it was. Would you like to go on that Wiener roast with me tomorrow night, or do you have a date with Bob? I did, but I certainly wasn't going to let him know it. I told him I'd love to go with him. After a bit more small talk I told him goodby, and he hung up. I realized that I might as well, too. I finally managed to get the receiver back on the hook and went up to hunt for my jodphurs. As I did so, I wondered why he had asked me. For months I had been trying to make him. I had dropped so many books for him to pick up that their con- dition had dropped from good to fair. I'd bought so many things at the store where he works that my budget was ruined, not to speak of my shoes. Nothing worked. Finally, I got so desperate I was nice even to his girl, Lorraine. She is as sad a specimen of girl as I have ever seen. She wears jumpers with turbans and wedgies to classes. I don't know what Jim sees in her, but I can certainly see what she sees in him. Not every girl is in love with him, but every other girl is. I'm one of the every other girls. I finally had given up trying to make him, and now I had a date with him. One gets confidential on hayrides. Maybe he'd tell me why it took him so long to catch on. Last night was the hayride. He said he'd be by at eight, and he was. Mother greeted him as if she had just stepped out of a refrigerator. Of course, she was polite, but I knew she was wondering why I wasn't going with Bob. Thirty-four Jim looked very nice in a purple sweater: but I was wearing an orange one, and they clashed. His hair had curled up into little ringlets because of the dampness. When we got into the car I noticed the sky. It was uncertain with dark clouds and few stars. It was heavenly to be in his dad's car with Jim, but we ran out of gas. Luckily we were near a filling station where the attendant did everything but paint the car. We hurried, but we arrived breathless and a little late. All the girls looked at me enviously, and several asked me where Bob was. I was too happy to care though, and climbed into the wagon all set for a perfect evening. Almost the Erst thing he said was, I suppose you wonder why I asked you? I didn't much care anymore, but he told me. He and Lorraine were mad . He asked my advice. He put in details. He told me of the respect he had for me because I always seemed so mature. I expected him to tell me I was the motherly type any minute. The same dampness that curled his hair brought mine down. The wieners had been forgotten, but the other couples didn't seem to mind. They all sat around and-well, you know how those wiener roasts are. I was miserable. He didn't even'make a courtesy pass at me. When he took me home he told me he was glad I'd had a good time. I could hardly restrain myself. I'm going to the show with Bob tonight. The family awaits him eagerly. Jack has his latest model airplane out. It looks like something out of fantastic comics. Mother looks meditatingly at the furniture: Sis has the patches ready for the bicycle tire. I wait as impatiently as a child for the comics. After last night Bob will be a treat. Good old Bob! RESOLUTION By SHIRLEY SMITH I'll catch up on my sleep tonight, I always do declare, I'll do my homework right away, And then I'Il wash my hair. I'll have to have my books returned, Wh1'ch now are overdue. I have a letter yet to write, Though I know nothing new. I have to press a wrinkled skirt- On that I'm not so keeng I'm sure I'lI get to bed tonight, At least by twelve fifteen. Thirty-five Tl-IE SUA TING VASE By RAYMOND L. GRIFFITH A few blocks down Gladstone Street, where the buzzing industrial section ended and where the smaller stores were located, stood the Bingham China Shop. wedged between a dingy antique shop and a tiny tea room. The proprie- tor of the china shop, a Mr. John C. Bingham, was a very familiar figure about this end of London: Everyoneknew the hard-working little man who was built more nearly spherically than anyone else in London. John Bingham and his pretty bride had bought the shop a little after the turn of the century when he returned from the Boer War. For thirty-five years they worked together in the shop, until the fall of '36 when the lovely Mrs. Bingham passed on. The postman and the newsboy, as they delivered in the early morning, looked sad when they were not greeted at the door of the china shop with a cheery smile from Mrs. Bingham. Mr. Bingham felt lonely in the store and even more lonely at home by himself. But lonely as he was, Mr. Bingham was relieved that she had left the world at the time she did, for he realized how depressed and sad this Second World War would have made her. They had lost their only son in the First, and if there was one thing that Emily Bingham had hated, it was war. At the time her death had seemed so cruel, so unnecessary: but now in 1941 he viewed it in a different light. There had been an air raid last night, so Mr. Bingham decided to go to the store especially early to survey and perhaps to repair the damage. As he walked down the street to the bus stop, he thought of that little poem which Emily had made up for their son many years ago. He tried to remember it. It went: I felt the wind upon my check: I felt my toes turn numb: I Watched the snowflakes whirl about: I knew that winter'd come. The bus service was very poor after the raid. He waited at the corner of Paine and Maple Roads for almost twenty-five minutes before he was informed that the bus had been re-routed because of the damaged cause by an incendiary bomb in the sixty-fourth block of Michael Street. He finally arrived at the store a little before nine o'clock. His expression did DOI alter in the least when he saw that the display window and all the china in it had been shattered. For more than a year he had expected it, and now it had come. It was his duty to grin and bear it and pick up the pieces without complaint. We, too, must bear the burden. He laughed at himself as he fumbled for the key. Here I am looking for the key to open the door, when I could easily enough step through the window. But for almost forty years he had unlocked the door, and he did it now, war or no war. Inside, he set about to clear the wreckage. After sweeping up the broken glass and china, he ordered a new window for the front of the store. Down in the musty basement he found that the pieces stored there were in good condition. He carried the boxes up and arranged them for display. On the last trip up he brought the most prized and valuable article in the shop, the ancient Sua Ting vase, which was almost two thousand years old. The beautiful vase with Chinese ladies in gold and blood red silken robes, strolling in a blossoming garden, was brought by Marco Polo to Italy, where it remained for a few centuries. It found its way to the castle of the Duke of Normandy. William the Conqueror brought it to England with him in 1066. It remained in his castle until his death when it was stolen. In the seventeenth century it had been discovered in the ruins of a feudal castle to the south of London. The Earl of Malstronth bought it, and it remained in the family until nineteen thirty-three, when the last Earl died. His wife was in need of cash, and sold the vase to Mr. Bingham for a fraction of its value. Until this year he had not tried earnestly to sell it. Last week he had come to an agreement with a noted art collector who agreed to pay twenty- Thirty-six eight thousand pounds for it. With this money Mr. Bingham was planning to retire and live in his cottage of memories in Beautiful Grant Park, London. For years he had looked forward to the day of retirement, but now it didn't seem to be such a bad alternative. He opened the door and glanced to the floor background-useless. He resented the vase and its road to easy living. But that's silly , he told himself. I should be glad. But still he dreaded the hour when Lord Biscom would come to buy it. He was shocked at himself for thinking it, but he wished it had been destroyed in the raid. Then I wouldn't be so darned independent. The day was busy except for the usual mid-afternoon lull at teatime. He had sold a large part of his remaining stock and felt satisfied as the crowds thinned and the people went home to prepare for the blackout and, perhaps, a hectic evening of raids. Every day at this time Henry Paterson, who owned the tearoom next door, would come over with a tray of tea cakes and crumpets, which the two would eat over a pot of hot tea in the back room of Mr. Bingham's shop. As he welcomed Henry, Mr. Bingham thought how much he would miss these daily recesses from business. But then, he thought sadly, I won't be in the business world. How has business been today? Henry inquired. Fine I've sold half my remaining stock. In a couple of days it will all be gone. Then my business days are ended. That's great, said Henry. Some day I hope to be able to retire. Then I shall be happy. You'll be surprised when the day comes. It's like revenge-so sweet until it is actually within reach, said Bingham sadly. Don't be so gloomy about it, old man. You should be thrilled, and you're broken-hearted-almost. After all, you don't have to. I know. But if I don't take the opportunity now, I might regret it later. 'Alf you get tired of leisure in a year or two, I'll let you come and work in my shop. Aren't I generous? Indeed you are, laughed John. As Henry picked up an icingless spice cake he muttered, What's the use of having tea if one can't have frosting on the cakes? I had better get back to the shop now. Will you be back tomorrow? John nodded. Well, goodbye till then. Goodbye, said John as Henry left. The evening passed slowly with only a few sales. He would have closed the shop at eight if he had not been waiting for Lord Biscom. At eight-thirty the silence of the evening was broken by the sounding of the air raid warnings. John quickly put the historic vase in a closet and hurried out of the store. Gouldn't they miss one night? he muttered as he locked the door. Many late shoppers were caught in the raid, and the shelter was crowded. The raid was a short one. A large squadron of German raiders appeared, but were halted by the British: and the remainder returned to their bases on the continent. In a short time the all-clear signal was given, and the shelter was emptied. ' John Bingham rushed to the shop as drawn by some magnet. He didn't want to find out, but he couldn't help himself. He wanted to work and still be the backbone of the nation : and yet after one works for years to reach some goal, it doesn't seem logical not to take it. If the vase was unharmed he would get the twenty-eight thousand pounds, but if the vase was destroyed, Mr. Bingham would be forced to remain working in the shop. That didn't seem to be such a bad alternative. He opened the door and glanced to the floor of the closet. There lay the Sua Ting vase in a million tiny pieces. The shock had loosened a brass book end from its place on a shelf above: it had fallen and smashed the treasured vase. I'm not so independent after all. I must work now to earn a living. I'm necessary! He glanced out the window at the shop-keepers and factory workers hurrying homeward. I'm your equal again. Thirty-seven l. WINDCDW SHOPPING By RUTH DoNADoN Are you an inveterate window shopper? I suppose you do not answer because the word inveterate puzzles you. I looked it up in the dictionary, and it says that it means habitual. Do you habitually window shop? Ah, now you understand. You say you do? Well, you are not any different from the rest of us. We all look forward eagerly to the window shopping open seasons: the Fourth of July, Hallowe'en, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter -but especially Christmas. At Christmas time the windows are decorated in red and green with beauti- fully wrapped packages smothered in the vast banks of silver, artificial snow. These packages, so gayly disguised with brightly colored tissue paper or crunchy cellophane, still seem to reveal by their shapes and sizes contents to please some mother, father, sister, or brother on Christmas Day. In one par- ticular window downtown everybody can enjoy the mellow sound of Christmas chimes ringing out through the crystal clear panes of window glass. Here, too, the feminine heart can be completely captured by the delicately decorated windows containing fuzzy, white, angora mittens and a cap to match: in another window the silvery sheen of a lovely formal illuminates with a shining light the rapt faces peering in at it. The men and boys, of course, are attracted by the windows displaying ice-skates with mirror-like chromium and steel reflecting the lights into their eyes, by bobsleds which seem to beg to be bought so they might show their prowess on Art Hill, and by hunting outfits consisting of clothing, guns, and camping equipment. Christmas is only one of the times, however, when window shopping is interesting. There remain Easter with its delicate hues of yellow and purple: the Vermilion splendor of Fourth of July: the orange and black of Halloween with all the mysterious cats and witches leering out: and, too, there are Thanks- giving displays of yellow and brown with pumpkins and turkeys. Of course, between the main holidays are the sales. There are fire sales, dollar day sales, and end-of-month sales. The lure of the sale tags marked down from 2.98 to 1.98 is sometimes too strong to be overcome, and thus our window shopping becomes the real thing. Naturally there are not enough holidays or sales to stretch over three hundred sixty-live days a year, although the stores do try, so there are days when just mediocre windows meet the eye. Even these are pleasurable for their simplicity in design is a welcome change from the gaudy holiday colors. There is an old proverb that states, Variety is the spice of life. This certainly holds true about window shopping. Since you are a window shopper yourself, you know what I mean.

Thirty-eight PETS By EVELINE CORICH Sometimes I doubt if pets are worth the trouble we go through for them. I have three tropical goldfish, Speck, Spot, and Silver Cmy little brother had the privilege of naming themb in an old glass cookie jar of my grandmothers I admit they make me cheerful on my grouchiest mornings, if I watch them swim about in the water catching the sun's rays on their gold backs. But I have to feed them and keep the bowl clean, Or I can't see them through all the green moss that collects on the rocks and the sides of the bowl. My canary, Happy, always used to sing: but since the last time he moulted. he doesn't utter a chirp despite all the time and allowance money I've spent to buy tonics and special food. He used to wash himself in a little birdbath that hangs on the door of the cage, but now he takes a bath in his drinking water and gets the curtains and wallpaper wet, which doesn't make my mother like him any better. NO matter how much I coax him with lettuce and pieces of apples, he still refuses to wash himself in the birdbath. My one consolation is my dog, Dootsy, who is no special breed, but very well trained. He was a lot of trouble at first and is sometimes even now, for I have to get up in the middle of the night and chase cats Out of the yard because he barks madly until they leave. I have taught him to speak, sit up, stand up, play dead, catch a ball, and walk beside me without a leash. He is a good watch dog besides. When he does his tricks well, I feel repaid a hundred times for any trouble he has caused me, especially when he wags his tail and barks in friendly greeting as I come home from school. CONSOLATION By DOROTHY BONE Every day to him I go And listen to his tales of woe. Behind those bars so menacing My loved one sits remembering. I think of him both night and day And how to get him out some way. But though a way sometimes l see. lt somehow fails to set him free. lf he escaped by trick of fate, l know he'd leave me at the gate: Yet happiness would come to me If my canary could be free. Thirty-nine Forty WINTER NIGHTS By CHARLES MALTAGLIATI Children gather at the fireplace, Happy, loving, laughing children, Cheered by the warmth of the crackling hearth. Children stare out of the window, Held by the silence of the falling snow, The stars, and the clear winter night. Children scramble up the stairs To bed, to unbroken sleep. Children huddled, shivering- Pale, weak, frightened children. Listening to the winter winds whistling overhead Trembling at the wail of a siren, Children turning away with tearful eyes hidden Into a fitful night. WIND By ELOISE MAYLE I am wind- Once man's mightiest servant. I brought ivory to Rome And books to Cathay I drove tall spice-laden ships Over the waves. I breathed life into the wings of giant windmills, Proud to grind the wheat And feed the people of great nations. I played Happy to fly the kites, and sail the toy ships Of children. And laughing with the dancing brown leaves I roared down the chimney On cold winter nights Drawing family members closer to the fireplace And to each other. Who needs me now? Men push ugly buttons Turn black, greasy handles, And amid the smoke and grit and stench The work is done. What matter that I uproot giant trees In one breath, Or level entire cities in one angry cry? Man is a slave To his machine. Listen, man, I am the wind- Listen, man, Have you forgotten me?

It is really a sin, How my ankles turn in, And I trip on a crack in the ice. Then I slide quite a way, Thinking now in dismay, That a fireside chat would be nice. SWING By CHARLES MALTAGLIATI The world sleeps on in silence, But I lie here and weep, The night to me is agony- I cannot get to sleep. Though freights that rumble all the night Don't bother me a bit, This gruesome, weird, and rasping noise Throws me into a fit. I pull the covers o'er my head I twist and turn and groan, When will that mad musician, put Down his saxophone! OUESTION By FRED LUNDBERG Once, on a summer night While looking at the sky, I saw a star take Eight Into infinity. ' Then thought I, Why? Once, on the battlefield I saw a comrade die.

Nor was the quality of the schedule such as to permit dismissal of the seasons record of six wins, three losses, and one tie as less than a laudable accomplishment. ln addition to the powerful league opponents, four non-league teams faced the Green and Gold. South Side and Maplewood were Southwests first opponents and also the l-onghorn's first victims, the Green Wave succumbing I9 to 7, the Blue Devils lZ to 6. C. B. C. and Crystal City furnished the remaining non-league com- petition, the Cadets earning a 7 to 7 draw and the Hornets bowing 6 to 0. The South Side contest produced more than casual interest. The Longhorns completely outplayed their rivals in the second half, after the game had been very even prior to the intermission. ln the Maplewood affair, however, the score was the only indecisive factor of the Southwest domination from the opening kickoff to the final whistle. Southwest dropped its inaugural league game to Cleveland 7 to 6, with the Carondeleters very much indebted to a Longhorn fumble for the victory. Southwest had opened scoring in the first period with a march from midfield. Downing counting from four yards out. Cleveland returned the compliment in the second stanza and had sufficient forethought to add the extra point, a trifling scruple that meant the ball game. Nine! u - t me 6 N invt Ll - I wo The Longhorns found Central's gridders a bit more hospitable and took away their first league victory as a momento of the fray, John Galimberti played the hero's role, scoring twice. once on a reverse and again on a pass from Ed Winkler. Galimberti, nothing less than a conversion virtuoso, booted both extra points to make the final story, 14 to O, a bit more decorative. The overhead game was very much in evidence in the McKinley clash as the Goldbugs went 80 yards on a succession of completed passes only to kick the extra point and win 7 to 6. Beaumont was too good for Southwest the follownig Saturday, Lee Tevis and Harry Exler leading the Blue Jackets to a 14 to 0 triumph. However if Roosevelt entertained any hopes of duplicating the Beaumont performance, chagrin was no novelty to Rough Rider followers after Southwest rolled for three touchdowns and a 20 to 0 win. Regulars and replacements alike took part in the carnage. Facing the champion Soldan aggregation, Southwest rallied to tie the score in the final period after having trailed 14 to O, and then see Tom Lombardo 85 Co. push over a decisive marker with only seconds left. It was a jubilant band of Longhorns who came, saw and conquered Crystal City 6 to 0, a week later, to ring down the curtain on a season replete with success and indicative of even greater effort in the future. GULF The Sam Sneads, By Nelsons, and Ben Hogans of tomorrow are the golfing neophytes of today, struggling along the fairways, three putting the greens, but always learning. Yet the scores carded by the various high school squads in their Public High league play scarcely qualifies them as novices. Thirty-six hole totals in the 150 and 160 stroke bracket definitely are not puerile. Southwest took third place in the Public High tourney held at the public links in Forest Park last October. The team finished with an aggregate total of 687: strokes. Soldan winning with a 648 total and Blewett placing second Nzneltf - Ihree with a 668 count. Beaumont, Cleveland and Roosevelt, each totaled more than 700 strokes to trail in fourth, fifth and sixth positions. lVlcKinley'and Central were not entered. Bill Benson was the team's low individual, requiring a mere 165 strokes for the 36 cans. Ray Kessler needed only 166 cuts and slices while Joe Granich and Bill Boehmer went the two rounds in 172 and 180 respectviely. John Plavin, Ed Fesler, Henry Schroeder and Fred Mayer also merit mention as members of the squad. TENNIS Perhaps the tall oaks who graced the Southwest tennis courts weren't championship timber but they were good enough to finish out of the cellar in this year's Public High net competition. To say that the team has done well, all circumstances to be considered, is an understatement. Cleveland, a school that has drunk rather deeply of the championship ale in the past, was strictly no match for the rising Longhorns who ran through the match four games to none. The sweep gave Southwest a sixth place tie with McKinley in the final standings. The Longhorn netsters took one out of three contests from Central and McKinley, split their match with Blewett, but were unable to win a game from the Beaumont, Soldan, and Roosevelt juggernauts who led the circuit. Beaumont waltzed to the title, dropping only one game in 28. The Southwest team consisted of Eugene Moore, Ray Wiegert and George Blaich, who played singles, with John Cwray as alternate, and Kay Koetter and Irwin Holdener, who were Southwest's representatives in doubles with William Wack and O. H. Jones as alternates. Holdener captained the squad. Although the doubles department will be hard hit by graduation, the lads who play singles will be back for league competition next season. With a year of experience under their belts they may be heard from, Perhaps they'll climb another rung or two in the championship ladder. Better watch this team! 1t's a comer! Ninelyafour SWIMMING The old cliche that Hyou can't win 'em all has become axiomatic not only in baseball where it originated but in virtually every sport. Wlietlmer the converse is true again is a matter of opinion. Yet it would be a harsh judge who would subscribe to such an explanation of Southwests lone swimming meet triumph of the l9-10-'-ll season. scored at the expense of Blewett. The matter seems to be tied up with ability long dormant suddenly breaking forth, or some such thing, and not particularly ascribable to the inevitability of occasional victory. Roosevelt and Soldan were twin titans of the Public High l-oop and also of the State, the former retaining its Public High School championship, the latter taking State honors. Southwest occupied the cellar position in league competition but in the state meet finished eighth in a field of eleven, at that only two points behind Central and Beaumont tied for fifth and sixth spots. Fuqua and Golden of Southwest were fourth and fifth respectively in the State l00 yard free style event, Fuqua taking the same position in the Public High swim engagement, Fancy diver Huckins placed fourth in the city meet. fifth in the state. as did the 200 yard free style relay team. .Yinelu fum BASKETBALL An analysis of Southwests 1940-'41 basketball season should in all justice not be limited to a mere citation of games won and lost. Comparison with efforts of past seasons lends to a fairer appraisal, and as the case is, also a more favorable one. The records show that Southwest, winning two games this year while dropping five, finished in a sixth place tie with Blewett and McKin- ley. Those two victories marked the first successes for the Longhorns in three years of league play. Thus the team realized a .285 percentage improvement over the competitive marks of the last two years. Not only that, but only one game separated Southwest from Central, Roosevelt and Cleveland, who tied for third place with three victories and four defeats. And several of the games were decided by relatively few points, Southwest losing to McKinley by four points, and to Roosevelt by five. The two triumphs, recorded against Cleveland and Blewett, were by neces- sity the season's highlights. The Cleveland contest was particularly pleasant. coming as it did when considerable doubts were being evinced, relative to the Southwest basketball team and the Public High win column, the point at issue being the improbability of the former ever breaking into the latter, But enter it they did in a highly spectacular affair, decided by a single point, and followed the conquest with a win over Blewett by a Z4 to 18 count. The Longhorns' showing in their meeting with league champion Soldan was credit- able, more so than against either Central or Beaumont. Marshall, Fales, Treptow and Hill were individual performers of conse- quence, placing among the high point men of the league. The play of Jennings. Marlo, Allen, Dieringer. Loving and Winkler also deserves notation. Nim-IU-six TRACK From the Public High track records of the last three years, two facts are outstanding. The first, of course, is the stranglehold retained by Roosevelt on the first place niche: the second is the steady surge of the Southwest track' men from fifth place in '38, to fourth in '39, to third in '4O. The trend is too marked to arrest less than casual attention. The Public High Meet climaxed a rather successful year for the Southwest squad. Opening their season by bowing to Maplewood, which later won the District Meet, the Longhorns easily swept by Central, Soldan, and McKinley in succeeding engagements. Competing with I6 other schools in the HA division of the district meet, Southwest finished sixth, rolling up 24 points. Juniors Williamson and Stone recorded firsts, Williamson in the mile run, Stone in the pole vault. Then after victories over Cleveland and Blewett, the Longhorns finished second to Roosevelt in a triangular affair. Central taking the third spot. The large number of boys, composing the respective Public High teams, forced preliminary heats to determine qualifiers for the main engagement. Southwest provided a mild surprise by qualifying 33 boys, one more than Beaumont and second only to Roosevelt's 45. The Blue Jackets however threw a real scare into the Riders. who were pressed very much more than usual to win. Central. Cleveland. McKinley. Soldan, and Blewett followed Southwest .Vim lu-.ww I7 Ninety -eight in that order. Although Shot Putter Bischman gave Southwest its only first with a heave of 46 feet 2 inches, Bill Daily was the Longhorn high scorer, racking up 7 points in the junior division. Seniors Dyer and Keaton also performed well, as did juniors Stone and Topping, and midgets Trueblood, Gimblett, and Olfe. In a sport where the emphasis is on individual performance rather than on team play credit should be bestowed upon the particular boys who did good work throughout the season. Fred Fairchild totaled the greatest number of points in the senior group, notching 58. Bischman was second with 49, Dyer third with 47, followed by Downing with 41 and Hunt with 37. Ambrose Perotta showed exceptional speed in the dash events, hanging up 79 points for top honors among the juniors. Stone, Loving and Guth were next in order. High point man among the midgets was Trueblood, whose 70 points gave him claim to more than ordinary distinction. Gimblett, Brauer, and Olfe were other mighty mites. BASEBALL When a major league baseball club travels through a season at a .650 clip, that club, records prove, generally cops the pennant. Nevertheless the South- west baseball squad went through their 1940 campaign at approximately a .650 gait, winning ll of I7 contests, without feeling particularly happy at the season's close. Nine! Ll - nine A study of the game-by-game record easily lends credence to their dis- appointment. The Longhorns swept through their first ll games with only one loss, that to McBride in an 18 to 13 slugfest. In the year's opener with C. B. C., Charley Feeney and Lou Farotto divided the twirling assignment and set the Cadets down with nary a hit, as Southwest won 6 to 2. A 5 to 2 triumph over St. Johns preceded the McBride reversal, after which the Long- horns embarked on an eight game winning streak. Three of the victories were in league encounters, Beaumont, Soldan, and Roosevelt bowing. The outlook for Southwestfs first league championship was bright. The pitching was great with Farotto unbeaten and Feeney a capable second starter. The offense was good and the defense was adequate. But in a return contest with C. B. C., Farotto went out for the season with an injured ankle: Murray Dietz was also crippled and failed to perform up to the standard in succeeding engagements. An automobile accident shelved second sacker Larry Held and Co-captain Ray Danner succumbed to scholastic difficulties. The outcome was inevitable. Down- trodden Central started the team on a five game losing streak and title hopes went glimmering. McKinley and Cleveland tied for the crown with five wins and two losses each, McKinley taking the playoff struggle. Southwest finished in a third place deadlock with Roosevelt, each sporting four victories and three defeats in league play. Beaumont, Soldan, Blewett, and Central formed the second division. Murray Dietz grabbed individual batting laurels with a .379 hitting mark. Dietz also tied Frank Ruma for most hits, 22. Ruma led in the runs scored department, carrying 18 tallies across the dish. Farotto's five victories and no setbacks easily gave him precedence over all other slab men. Feeney finished with a creditable 3-2 winning average. Six swingers clubbed at better than the .300 figure. Besides Dietz and Ruma, Ray Danner, George Kehm, Marion Moehrle, and Larry Held placed in the charmed circle, while John Galimberti, hitting at .295, led the club in two base blows. As a unit the Longhorns Haunted a robust .289 swat mark to a mere .219 for the opposition. Fielding records, however, gave the enemy the edge, .894 to .887.

It also endeavors to establish a more friendly relationship between man and bird, teach the importance of their protection, and increase the appreciation of their beauty and usefulness. Our club is sponsored by Mr. Jones and meets on Thursdays of even weeks. In late March, April, and early May field trips, or bird walks, are made each week. During this time, the mating season, the male is in its brightest colored plumage and can be identified more easily. These trips afford the members an opportunity to study birds in their natural surroundings. The club is afliliated with the Saint Louis Bird Club and thus is able to participate in all its activities. The Southwest Bird Club has a membership of about twenty, and anyone interested in birds is always welcome. Officers: President, Robert Kersten: vicef president, Randall Teeuwen: secretary and treasurer, Bernice Glauser: statistician, Richard Cohen: sponsor, Mr. Jones.

OneH d dT1 h THE ROUNDUP STAFF The ROUNDUP Staff takes great pleasure in presenting the 1941 issue of the ROUNDUP. The South American theme was selected because we firmly believe that the problem of South America should concern us as much as it does our congressmen in Washington. We have tried to do our bit toward fostering the good-neighbor policy of our President. Our success in this venture is largely due to the students and faculty members of the school. Without their splendid cooperation the 1941 ROUNDUP would never have been possible. The staff wishes to extend its thanks to all those who contributed toward the success of this yearbook. It is hoped that this issue of the ROUNDUP will be cherished by all, and that it will bring back pleasant memories of cheerful high school days for many years to come.

High schools from the entire state were represented, but only those having an enrollment of 1000 or more were entered in class UE . The theme of last year's Roundup was The Spirit of American Democ- racy , carried out in essays, poems, and art work. In addition short stories, poetry, cartoons, photographs, candid camera shots, and numerous features enlivened the remainder of the book. Credit must go particularly to Leroy Hart, the editor-in-chief, and to Robert Walker, the art editor. From a letter written by Prof. T. C. Morelock of the University of Missouri, the following quotation is taken: We congratulate you on your excellent annual and hope that future Roundups maintain the high standard set by the 1940 issue. Staff of 1940, the staff of 1941 salutes you! One Hundred Thirty-five CONTEST WINNERS Last September, with the announcement of the annual poetry, short story, and essay contests for the ROUNDUP, the Shakespeares, Poes, and Bacons of Southwest went to work. They started recording their dreams, had an open eye for everything that happened around them, and even if they had a day dream or a great inspiration right in the middle of a solid geometry lesson they just let themselves go. The contest was open to all students in the school who were allowed to submit as much material as they wished. Our young authors worked hard on their literature and we are proud of the enthusiasm with which the students took part in the contest. The judges had no easy time but finally reached a decision. Charles Maltagliati with his excellent poem, NWinter Nights, won first prize in the poetry contest. Josephine I.inzee's short story, Family Man, was judged the winner in the short story contest. The essay contest was won by Ruth Donadon with her essay, Window Shopping. Each winner will receive a complimentary copy of the ROUNDUP autographed by Mr. Sackett. To those who submitted material, much of which is printed in this edition. but who did not win prizes, the staff expresses its appreciation. THE SGUTI-IWEST REVLJE The Southwest Revue , held in our auditorium on May 22, 23, and 24, began with a concert by the Southwest band. Songs such as Victory and Fame March , Liestpiel Overture , A'Ballet Egyptian , Schubert Selections , and Pomp and Circumstance were played. George Mueller brightened the intermission with The Road to Mandalay . Unit one was properly called Sweethearts , delighting the spectators with Sweethearts and Love is All , sung by Gerry Stutz, The Night Is Young sung by the Male Chorus and given added loveliness by the toe group, and Will You Remember? , sung by Alvera Nickels and Dick Watkins, and given pleasant atmosphere by the waltz group. The intermission was relieved by Dick Watkins singing the ever popular One Alone . Unit two was named While Strolling Thru the Park and began with the song of the same name to be followed by Estrellita , sung by Annabelle Garner, a Specialty Act which brought many laughs by Joe Emmerich and John Cyrus, In an Old Dutch Garden , sung by Charlotte Peterson and danced by June Heger, Santa Lucia , sung by Anthony Bassi, Amapola sung by Marion Primrose and group, When Irish Eyes Are Smiling by Robert Stewart, and I Want to Marry a Policeman , written by a Southwest student, Virginia Phillips. The last intermission was an extremely pleasant one with Alvera Nickels rendering her beautiful voice to the strains of 'llndian Lovecall . Unit three was appropriately given the title Southwest Roundup . It began with Wagon Wheels , harmonized by the boys' chorus with Dale Williams giving a solo, Kinkajou , followed by the quartet and group: Leanin' on the Old Top Rail , sung by George Mueller and accompanied by the Accordianists: I'm an Old Cowhand , sung by Dorothy Hutchings and Jean Fitch, and danced to by Mary Xinos and Esther Barclay: Songs of South- west , sung and played by John Decker: Caravan , played by the accordian- ists, Charles Reichold, Betty Whitmire, La Verne Knebal, and Jack Scott: Indian Dances , by Gloria Sicking, George Mueller, and Bob Wolfe: When Day is Done beautifully sung by the entire singing chorus and ending a glorious entertainment. Much credit is due Miss Meyer, Miss Hachtman, and Mr. Monachesi for the presentation of this show.

Nell Funke and Harold Conley did a fine job as the two lovers while the riotous comedy of Dick Watkins and Vw'ayne W.1cl1ter as Con Kidder and Kid Connor, the waggish Americans stranded at the lnn. the gay songs of Anna Belle Garner.

Um' lltuvtlwtl litirltx THE CLEAN-UP PARADE The eighth annual Spring Clean-Up Parade was held Tuesday morning. April 23, 1940. This year, for the first time, a trophy was to be awarded to the best High School Band marching in the parade. This year's high school bands included Central, Blewett, Southwest, Sumner, Roosevelt, and Walbridge Elementary High. The trophy was awarded to Southwest's band, working under the direction of Mr. Monachesi. Locust Street, behind the Public Library was the scene of great activity as the colorfully garbed members of the nine competing units assembled for the march through downtown St. Louis. Chief Marshall R. M. Inbody led the combined aggregation of grammar and high school students east to Broadway. With a full police escort to assist at intersections the uniformed members of the bands vieing for honors could give all their attention to the music. The sixth unit of the parade, led by Mr. Gerber as Marshall, boasted a marching group in true Southwest style. Hard ridin top hands in ten gallon Stetsons and denim jeans were a perfect foil for the glamorous cowgirls outfitted in the picturesque costumes created for them by Miss Hachtman. The band, with their high stepping drum major and majorettes, marching under the direction of Mr. Monachesi and' playing in their own inimitable way, sported the green and white capes furnished by the Parent Teachers Association. Crowds col- lected all along the route as the parade marched south on Broadway to Chestnut Street. Flags and banners waving, posters carried high, and stirring airs played by the different units called the attention of all civic minded citizens to Clean Up, Fix Up, and Paint Up. Proceeding west on Chestnut Street the paarde passed the reviewing stand in front of the Soldiers Memorial. Here to judge the bands were a group of prominent musicians and the committee appointed by the Board of Education of which Mr. J. R. Powell was Chairman. After passing in review the groups paraded south on Fourteenth Street to the awaiting street cars. The judges awarded a beautiful silver placque for first honors to Southwest High School for the best marching band. Blewett High School placed second. Walbridge Elementary High third, while Roosevelt and Sumner tied forifourth place. The band and its director deserve credit for having won the first trophy ever to be awarded to Southwest High School. POSTER CONTEST The annual Christmas Carols Poster Contest sponsored by the St. Louis Christmas Carols Association was held again this year. All elementary and secondary schools in St. Louis and St. Louis County were eligible for the contest. The young Southwest artists started on their posters in the middle of November. They used original ideas and worked out the designs themselves. Miss Lodwick picked out fourteen of the best posters and entered them in the St. Louis Public High Schools division. . ' Certificates of merit in each classification were given those entries judged best. The following students from Southwest won awards: John Collins. first award: Jack Hoss, third award: and Doris Meyer, won honorable men- tion. All three of these are Art 4 pupils, After the final judging of all entries, the posters were put on public display in the St. Louis Public Library. One Hundred forlq -one fri E WHAT A LIFE! On the evenings of April 24 and 25, the class of June, 1941, presented What a Life, a Henry Aldrich narrative which has run successfully on Broad- way since 1938. No Broadway theater could have had a fuller house or a more responsive audience than we did here at Southwest. The play was one entirely suitable to the members of the class, and the cast was a perfect Ht. Wayne Wachter, as Henry, gave an excellent portrayal of a gangling adolescent whose best intentions were, more often than not, misunderstood. Barbara Pearson, Henry's girl, played by Gloria Kensinger, would have been an inspira- tion to any lad, and she proved herself to be just that to Henry. The detective in the story is Mr. Ferguson, alias Ed Kirwan, a very quick thinking chap who is too ready to jump at conclusions, Then, of course, there are the teachers, who are bound to play an important part in the life of any youth. These are Gene Bean as Mr. Nelson, Roland Seifert as Mr. Patterson, Beth Crow was Miss Pike, Eileen Schneider as Miss Eggleston, Betty Kauffmann as Miss Johnson, Ralph Avouris as Mr. Vecchitto. and Gloria Sicking as Eccentric Miss Wheeler. Everett Heselton plays the part of Mr. Bradley, the soft spoken, benevolent. principal, and Miss Shea, Norma Jean Nelson, is his pretty secretary who is very much attracted to Mr. Nelson. The entire play takes place at Central High, where Henry is being scolded and reprimanded by the straight faced teachers, who seem to be out to get him into as much trouble as possible. He is accused by Mr. Ferguson of stealing One Hundred Iforly-Iwo some band instruments, and everything he does seems to get him more deeply involved. He has a strange way of always getting caught at the wrong time, while others, such as the handsome George Bigelow CCarl Heinl, can get away with anything short of murder. Henry's distressed mother is played by Phyllis Deaderich. Mrs. Aldrich would just love to be proud of her son, and she wants him to follow in his studious father's footsteps. However, she finds that the shoes won't fit. Henry's luck is always bad, and suddenly he finds that, along with his other troubles, George Bigelow is trying to attract Barbara. Of course, Henry regains her affections, but it all takes time and worry, which is just what the audience seemed to like. Finally all problems are settled, but we somehow feel that Henry will never be the same person again. At the end, when Henry's troubles are all packed up, we find also that Miss Shea and Mr. Nelson have definitely agreed upon that age-old question without which no story would be complete. Other members of the cast were Doris Gramer as Mary, Gertrude Adrignola as Gertie, Joe Emmerich as Bill, and Gloria Shaeffer, John lacometti, and Jack Mort as students. The response to these presentations was a iitting climax to the many weeks of hard work put in by even the least important characters, and we can put a mark on the wall for the class of June, '41, which has contributed another success to the long list of triumphs of Southwest. To Miss Gould Meenach who coached the play and to the other members of the faculty who assisted in various ways, go unlimited credit and appreciation.

The band opened the program with the Star Spangled Banner, followed by a march. V The first number was a tap duo by Katherine Spanos and Arlene Herweck. then the melodious trio of Dot Hutchings, Barbara Lanctot, and Annabelle Garner sang Three Little Maids, and I'll Never Smile Again . Of course Bob Stewart, our red-headed Irishman was there and he gave us his version of When Irish Eyes are Smiling, followed by a very line classical number played on the piano by Norma Jean Nelson: then there was a tap dance by Esther Barclay and a few more songs. The band played another piece, American Patrol, after which we were glad to hear some soft music and see a soothing and very beautiful toe dance by Katherine Spanos. A song ensemble rendered a lovely version of Drink To Me Only, with Harold Conley, a newcomer in that capacity, as soloist. A tap routine followed, consisting of five very talented girls. A great hit were Virginia Phillip's song You've Got My Heart in a Mist, What Do You Care, and 'AI Knew, played by Virginia and sung very nicely by Gerry Stutz. One of the best acts was Peg Zimmerman's performance which literally stopped the show. This cultured young lady sang, as only she could, in a very heartrending but unsophisticated style, a beautiful hillbilly song, and her nasal tone only helped to bring out the fine quality of her voice. As she stepped onto the stage no one expected to laugh at her, but from the moment she first opened her wide grinning mouth the house was rocked with laughter. Quite in con- trast was the song sung by Annabelle Garner and Dick Watkins, the hero of the 1939 operetta and popular entertainer in many school functions. They sang Sweethearts and a more lovely duet is yet to be heard. Again in con- trast was Gloria Kensinger's little recitation concerning her dear friend Bilious Buttonbuster. Dressed in pigtails and a conglomeration of clashing colors, Gloria represented the typical little girl who has taken a few elocution lessons. Her exaggerated exclamations and knockkneed composure seemed just in keeping with her story of fat Bilious, who is her ideal man, and her sad, sad song My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean. Among the last performers was an accordian group of three: Bernadine Whetmire, Jerry Boihne, and Charles Reichold, the last of whom was called back several times. Bernadine, the only girl of the group, sang and played Blueberry Hill. After a presentation of the football team the program closed with God Bless America, played by the band and sung by the audience. The Harvest Festival was a tremendous success, and everyone is indebted to Mr. Monachesi, Miss Meyer, and Miss Hachtman for preparing this show for us.

One Hundred Forty-eight 1-New Om' Humlrml l7urlu-m'm- Those in the Southwest unit are: SOUTHWEST BRITISI-I RELIEF UNIT To aid war-torn Britain a relief unit has been formed at Southwest. Through the guidance of an Englishwoman residing here, aid is sent directly to a particularly hard pressed area. All materials which were bought are furnished by the faculty. The stu- dents supply the work, and this of their own will. So far they have completed five knitted ambulance robes and four patch work shelter robes. The main unit is divided into two sections. One is centered at Southwest and is open to students of all semesters. Another is located at Kennard for first semester pupils who come for afternoon classes. Genevieve Abbott Margaret Abeln Patricia Bradley Virginia Braun Dorothy Chalmers Kathleen Clark Grace Dick Lois Ezell Shirley Felix Ruth Green Barbara Hill Patricia Holston Corrine Kaufman Those in the Kennard Beverly Barham Janet Beck Virginia Bents Imogene Boyer Virginia Carroll Grace Clendenin Norma Janssen Lavern Kehm Evelyn Kidwell unit are: Virginia Kelley Muriel Krug Ruth Massok Virginia McAuliif Mary Jane Montgomery Virginia Mott Frances Petros Dorothy Reuter Clara Rowan Angeline Russo Lois Severs Mildred Shults Eileen Smith Violette Newby Alice Ogle Emmarose Rush Mildred Soos La Verne Spraul Doris Steele Charles Sternecker Betty Stroupe Virginia Watson Ruth Linton Betty McGahan SPELLING CHAMPIONS The 1940 spelling team of Southwest was the winner in one of the tighest contests seen in this city for many years. Public, parochial, and private high schools from the entire metropolitan area were eligible and twenty in all were entered in the elimination contest. Marion Weyermann Southwest drew a bye in the first round. Then they met St. Alphonsus, and, although the first attempt ended in a tie, they came back in a second match to gain victory. Then after defeating Beaumont in the semifinals, the South- west team was pitted against McBride for the last and decisive game. In a close finish Southwest nosed out the McBride team and brought back one of Southwest's first victories over competing schools. One Hundred Fifty The captain, who, incidentally, never once failed, was Gerry Schorsch. Other members were: Billy Bootin, Gordon Friese, Marian Happel, Bernice Hay, Laurel Klug, Elsie Leaver, Leo Mayer, Marie Morris, and Frances Ruf. Since there are but eight members to a team, two of the above were used as alternates. For the team's well earned victory they received a bronze placque with the members' names engraved on it. Mr. Eschen of Station KSD made the presen- tation during an auditorium session held especially for this purpose. Mr. George, who coached the team, and its members are to be congratulated on their achievement. g FACULTY SOFTBALL GAME Rapidly becoming traditional with the Southwest athletic program is that June extravaganza of the diamond which brings together a star studded aggre- gation of male faculty members and the championship boys' softball team in their annual Comedy of Errors performance. Last year's contest resulted in a complete victory for the faculty. That senile group gave their younger opponents a neat lesson in softball economy, putting together eight runs from only six hits, while the boys could muster only one run from seven blows. Nor is a logical explanation obtainable in the error column, where the faculty was charged with four miscues to a mere trio for their rivals. CFor the solution to such a box score paradox, page Mr. Holmeslj Splurges by the old boys in the first and second innings produced five runs and sewed up the game, while the youngsters were held scoreless after their opening frame tally. The faculty opened with Cannonball Wilson elbowing to Grid Coach Kittlaus, who donned mask and pad. Golf mentor Brew was at first, with the faculty freshmen Polster and Wetmore operating around the keystone sack and baseball coach Young holding down the hot corner. Messrs. Gerber, Clark and Rosenkranz cavorted in the outfield. The lineup of the inter-class champs was nearly as impressive. Captain Gualdoni and Backstop Serratti formed the starting battery. Sallwasser, Ander- son, Wolfslau, and Hanneke took inneld posts while Ernst, Hill, and Ziem roamed the outer pastures. AUD SESSIGNS 1940-'41 The first aud session of the term was for the benefit of the football team. The band in its first appearance of the year played as if there had never been three months intermission in their practicing. Coach Kittlaus introduced the members of the team and voiced a hope that it would accomplish much this year. Each blushed shyly or grinned sheepishly as he was presented, but in all, the team looked as if it meant business. The second aud session of the term was held on Thursday, September 26. The purpose was to promote the sales of season football passes, and if a colorful ' One Hundred Fifty-one 4 program ever had anything to do with heavy sales, we shouldn't have had enough tickets to go around. Our wonderful band demonstrated its school spirit and the football squad was out in full dress to show off their new jeans. The captains of the four ticket selling teams were presented with the girls they had chosen as co-captains, and the sponsors and colors they had selected: Harold Crocker--Joan Edmonson-Mr. Smith-green: Lyle Down- ing-Arlene Francis-Mr. Clark-red: Paul Magoon-Jean Fitch-Miss Hachtman--gold: Colier Loving-Dorothy Chalmers-Mr. Wilson--white. Last, but not least, the cheering squad was on the floor to lead us in some roof raising school yells. Friday, September 27, was a very important day at Southwest-the day of the election of our Student Council President. The four candidates were introduced to the faculty and student body in an auditorium session. Each candidate presented his campaign speech convincingly and modestly revealed his good points and told why he would make a good president. Each promised to do his best to promote the welfare of the students, and to perform his duties as a model president should. The first speech was made by Arlene Weinberg, who was followed in order by John Stradal, Carol Travis, and last, but not least, as we later learned, by Louis Doerr. They were presented by Norris Dolvin and each bravely faced the crowd with a calm exterior. Undoubtedly the quality of the jokes told had a great influence over the vote. Probably the best joke was told by Louis Doerr who said: Politicians are experts at kissing babies, shaking hands, and passing out cigars: I won't pass out any cigars. After the aud session the students returned to their advisories to vote, and for many it was a hard decision to make. Louis Doerr won by just a small number of votes. On October 10th, 1940, we had a program combining education and fun. The Girls' Glee Club, led by Miss Meyer, performed after a long absence from the public eye. They opened with Johann, a Norwegian dance by Grieg. following with Lullaby, arranged by Nobel Cain. After this refreshing bit of entertainment, a member of our St. Louis Fire Department spoke, instructing us in fire prevention and giving a few statistics to point out to us that, although, many causes of fire sound preposterous, many people are killed each year as a result of carelessness. On the same program Mr. Gerber introduced the members of our Southwest tennis team and presented them with letters for hard, con- stant practice and a good competitive record. Such a varied program is accepted gratefully by the students and this one appealed to all because of its combina- tion of interesting factors. The sixth session of the term was on Monday, November 18, 1940. Dr. Livingston, representative from Monsanto Chemical Co. demonstrated the uses of cellulose and showed how it could be substituted for some more expensive products. The demonstration was very interesting and amusing, even though many in the audience could not understand or remember the long names used. The first few minutes of the November 20 aud were used by the band, vociferously exploiting its talents with school songs and marches. then the Student Council President, Louis Doerr, presented Mr. Wetmore, coach of One Hundred Fifty-two vnfiifnf Om' Hundnfd I-'ffl U - lhru the B football team, who in turn presented the team as a whole. Mr. Wet- more pointed out to us that the B team with about twenty-five members, had had up to that time eight victories and only one defeat. For the next few minutes Mr. Chervenka talked and urged everyone to buy a ticket for a big football game to be held on the following Saturday. November 23rd. The purpose of the game was explained by Coach Kittlaus who revealed a plan for an all-star game between the city and county leagues. One boy from Southwest, Harold Crocker, was to have been on the city team. However, this plan was discarded and a North-South game was scheduled, the schools of North St. Louis to play those of South St. Louis in such a manner that it could be decided which districtihad the better teams. The money from the sale of tickets is to make up a fund for payments for injuries suffered by any boy on the teams. The session closed with a short demonstration of the band's program for Saturday. They played School Days and a medley of school songs culmi- nated by We're Fighting For You, Southwest High. On Wednesday, December 4th we had introduced to us in an aud session Mr. Sam Pierce whom we remembered for his talk on Hamlet last year. Mr. Pierce's topic this time was on Wm. Saroyan and his play, My Heart is in the Highlands which was his first on Broadway and was awarded the highest attainable trophy, the Pulitzer Prize. Mr. Pierce showed us that, though Saroyan was thrown out of high school for misbehavior, he did have many good points. In 1934 his first story was accepted by a magazine, this was The Daring Young Man on the Flying Trapeze. Now, at the age of thirty- two, Mr. Saroyan has about four hundred stories published in nine volumes under this same title. A New York critic said, The fundamental good in man is of most interest to him CSaroyanj. His characters are people that he has met in the course of his life. They are common, human people whose reactions to life are the same as ours. Mr. Pierce ended his speech with a very beautiful excerpt from the preface of Saroyan's book which advised his readers to strive for the highest and let nothing hinder success. The last aud session before the Christmas holidays was held on Friday, December 20th. Mr. Sackett opened the program with a brief talk and then John Cyrus gave St. Luke's version of the birth of Christ. The first musical number was O Holy Night sung by the Mixed Chorus with Nell Funke as soloist, Dedication to Mother by the Boys' Glee Club came next and then the Mixed Chorus again. this time with Jean Fitch as soloist, singing Lullaby My Liking . Dick Watkins sang the lovely Latin hymn Panis Angelicus and the Girls' Glee Club gave us a very soothing version of Sleep Baby Sleep after which Dorothy Hutchings sang Jesu Bambino with them, and Anna- belle Cwarner sang Ave Maria . The A Cappella Choir sang two Christmas songs alone, Cradle Song of Shepherds and Angels We Have On High , and with them the entire Student body sang O Little Town of Bethlehem , Oh Come, All Ye Faithful , and 'ASilent Night . John Cyrus closed the very enjoyable and impressive ceremony as the A Cappella, in their own special way said We Wish You a Merry Christmas . One Hundred Fifty-four nf llumirml lwflu lim SECOND SEMESTER The first aud session this semester was Feb. 2, 1941. Dr. Helme, the Pastor of the Fourth Avenue Disciple Church in Columbus, Ohio, gave an interesting and inspiring speech which was enjoyed by all. On Feb. ll, 1941, the girls of William Woods Cwlee Club presented a concert here. There was a Violin solo, vocal solos, vocal duet, accordian duet, besides many numbers by the entire group. Each selection was beautifully pre- sented, but the last two proved most entertaining to the audience. These were: The Arkansas Traveler, chorus and two accordians, and a William Woods school song. The girls closed the program with a cheer for Southwest which came as a surprise to us all. February 18 was an exciting day at Southwest-the day of the election of a Student Council President. Seven senior students were the candidates, four boys and three girls. John Cyrus was master of ceremonies and presented Nancy Gill, Julia Fremon, Ernest Tremayne, Jack Langsdorf, Marian Primrose, Bob Morris, and John Iacometti. The band opened the program with several numbers, then the nervous people on the stage proceeded with their speeches. Each was so good, and so convincing, that it was hard to vote for only one. The voting was so close, in fact, that a second ballot was taken. We had several firsts on March 3, 1941. The first appearance of our new Student Council President, Jack Langsdorf, and the first appearance of the A Cappella Choir in their beautiful new robes. After three numbers by the choir, Mr. John Rush Powell introduced Mr. Charles M. Hay, who spoke about the purpose of an essay contest sponsored by the Civitan Club of St. Louis. After this very inspiring speech Mr. Powell gave the details of the contest and encouraged each pupil to participate. On March 5 a very impressive ceremony Was conducted in an auditorium session. The band opened the program and played while the new Student Council members walked to the stage. Mr. Monachesi conducted a new school song while first the A Cappella Choir sang it, and then the entire audience. John Cyrus turned the program over to Mr. Sackett, who introduced the speaker -Dr. Pflug. Dr. Pflug installed the new Student Council members and officers and also the Special Service members, who occupied the first eight rows of the aud. The program closed with the singing of God Bless America by the audience, accompanied by the band. On March 21 we had an auditorium session commemorating the eighty- fifth birthday of Mr. Walter H. Wilcox. Mr. Wilcox presented Southwest with a fine Hammond electric organ last year. Mr. Wilcox could not be present because of ill health, but Miss Mathilda Ciecks, a close associate of his in educational work for many years, told us of him as she had known him. Mr. Gregory Cohen played four numbers on the organ, and then accompanied the mixed chorus, led by Miss Meyer, in 'iThe Lost Chord. The next four organ numbers were of the popular type and were enjoyed immensely by the students. Mr. Sackett closed the program with a short talk about Mr. Wilcox and all that he had done for Southwest. One Hundred Fifty-six DRIVING COURSE Something new in the line of education burst forth this year at Southwest. We now have an auto driving course. The classes are under the direction of Mr. Ingerson and. considering the restrictions placed on the students taking this course, they were well filled. Those enrolled must have a driver's permit or license, be sixteen years of age or older, and be free from the regular curriculum two periods daily. They spend two periods every week driving a new dual-control car, and one period in a classroom daily. They are chiefly eight semester students with a small percentage of sevens. The course stresses the attitude of the driver toward the safety of pedestrians. other motorists. and himself. Skill in the principles of driving, and a technique of driving itself are developed.
