XX- N5 i Ellnrvmnril We, The class of nineteen hundred fifty-six, Have grown throughout our every passing year, And carefully have laid foundation bricks Of memories and dreams that we hold, The friends we made in party, sports, and class, In Glee Club, Lambda, Jinx, we were a corps. The teachers' aid that learning helped amass, And to the house of knowledge ope'd the door. So as the steps of future now we tread And on the paths of past deeds linger not, Unto the coming years we look ahead While thinking what the bygone years have wrought Thus with this book our days of youth we cherish, And pray that all our future hopes will flourish. . . .

The trustees of Saint Nicholas School for the year 1955-1956 authorized funds for the im- provement of the grounds. This work has commenced under the supervision of Mrs. Louis Edmunds, Chairman of the Garden Committee. The trustees also adopted a resolution pro- viding for the President of the Alumnae Association to be an ex-officio member of the Board. The officers of the Board for the year 1955-195 6 were: MR.

WATT, Treasurer Mathers' 0111111 The Mothers' Club has been very busy carrying out the projects planned for this year. In September they held a sale of uniforms and party dresses which girls had outgrown. The new Glee Club surplices, donated to the school at this time by the Mothers' Club, have been greatly appreciated. On April thirteenth, the Club sponsored a mixer in the gym. This was a new experience for the school and was enjoyed a great deal. The oHicers for the Mothers' Club this year were: MRS. HORACE A. WI-IITE, Prefidenr MRS. LESLIE M. LARSON, Secretary MRS.

Their enthusiasm in turning out for sports all through the school year showed much class spirit. They held their class tea in the fall, decorating the library with a Thanks- giving theme and honoring Miss McBain, their last year's sponsor. They organized a clever skit for the Senior Mixer, based on the television pro- gram This is Your I.ife. Their two class spon- sors, Mrs. Hvattum for the first semester and Mrs. Reifler for the second semester, guided the class through a very successful first year of high school.

Their first money-making project was the sale of decals, followed by addressing envelopes for the alumnae. On March fifteenth, their tea, with the Saint Patrick's Day theme, honored Mrs. Postle- waite. Their biggest project was the Saint Nicholas literary magazine, the Quill. Published in the spring under the able guidance of the faculty, it contained the best literary efforts of the school year. The sophomore class is still on its way to the top. 20 NANCY BAIN BETSY BLEDSOE LINDA CLARK GAYLE CUNNINGHAM JENNIFER PAUL JOAN PALMER JOAN STECKEL KATHERINE TODD JUDY BLEDSOE MARGOT BRICE GRETCHEN EVENSON MIKIE GRIFFITH JUDITH ROGERS SHARON SMITH MARCIA WATT MARILYN WEBER SANDRA WILLIAMS LEANNE WILSON ELLEN WORTHINGTON RUTH HEILMAN Sponsor Zluninr Gllaaa The alfable juniors, conducted by Mrs. Heilman, their sponsor, began their busy year with an assembly of choral reading.

The juniors helped to raise the level of school sports onto a keen competitive basis, when they vied for the championship in both volleyball and basketball. Their energies never ceasing, they put on a won- derful prom, sent participants to the religious con- ference at Annie Wright Seminary and put out a terrific IINX. T 1 .

We shall not forget those who guided us onward And friends that we hold in our hearts, all aboveg So now, 'though we leave you, the class of 'fifty-six Will think of you ever, our Saint Nicholas! SALLY LOKEN DENNIS 26 Ellen Agen Alice Anne Arnold Unique antics and spontaneity characterize Alice Anne, who never fails to bolster our spirits with her droll wit. She has held many school offices, including Lambda Theta Upsilon president and Ski Club presi- dent. Reminiscing about our play, we shall always recall Alice's unsurpassable portrayal of Meg, and her line Philerson, phollerson, licorice John. Sincerity, sophistication, and sweetness are among Ellen's endearing qualities. During her four years at Saint Nicholas, she has been Senior Class president A. A. vice-president and A. A secretary Ellen s end less class spirit, excellent suggestions and her flustered announcements are proof of her vivacious personality We will always remember Ellens impromptu skits and poised interpretation of Amy in the senior play Valerie Dempsey Her red convertible, long, dark tresses, flashing eyes, and sophistication are all determining factors to Val's vivacity. As Student Government secretary and class captain, Val proved her efficiency. She demonstrated her fine showmanship as narrator of the winter Fash- ion Show, and her artful talent for make-up in the senior play was appreciated by all. Her irresistible personality and terrific sense of humor make Val an outstanding member of our class. 27 p Judi Donnan I have a question, is Dee-Dee's favorite saying. We can always count on her to act as a chauffeur, since she is rarely without a car. Although her part in the play was small, her performance as Hannah made a lasting impression. In both golf and basketball, Judi. has demonstrated great skill, proved by our frequent choice of her for gym captain. Judy Hatch Louise Edmunds Our brainy Weezie, president of Student Government, combines capable and enthusiastic leadership with inexhaustible energy. With her skill in sports she has helped to win many victories in volleyball and basket- ball. Her hilarious comments are well known through- out the school. As secretary and vice-president of Stu- dent Government, and as class captain, Weezie has directed herself toward promoting school and class spirit at Saint Nicholas. An intimate friend of all, and an invaluable conveyor of joy, is an apt description of our Hatch. Her remark- able wit proved especially handy in our work on The Iinxg her catchy personality made her portrayal of Aunt March in the senior play a true caricature. Class captain, narrator of the Christmas Pageant, and a priceless officer of the Glee Club are a few of her activities that have made Judy a cherished member of our class. ' 28 Mary Hornby Calm and composed is our Mary, an amiable member of our class since the second grade. As editor of the Cantoria, Mary proved her competence in creative writing and leadership. Directing occasional music for the senior play, serving as biology lab assistant, and singing in Glee Club are a few of her activities. During her junior year, Mary portrayed the Dumb Wife in -the Lakeside play. Her remarkably sweet voice and unique sense of ,humor are the qualities which we shall always remember about Mary. m Anne Miokelwait Dimples and cherry cheeks is an aptdescription of Anne, who is much like the Marmee she portrayed in the senior play, always gentle and sweet. She also acted as the young, wealthy orphan girl in the Lakeside play. Anne has been a capable class captain. As editor of The Jinx, and activities editor of the Cantoria, she has proved her journalistic abilities. Handmaid in the Christmas Pageant, she proved her ability to sit mo- tionless for minutes at a time. Nancy Niokum A soft voice saying, Girls, please pay your dues, be- longs to Nick, senior class treasurer. Nancy, a past class captain and A.A. treasurer, has kept the books well balanced. As Beth in the senior play she gave a performance guaranteed to produce tears from the audience. She was excellent as literary editor of the Cantoria. Her excited shriek, Here it is! thrilled the class when she discovered the senior key in the cloak- 1' OOITI. ' 29 Reidun Nielsen Red-headed Rei has been an eager participant in all of our class projects. Under her capable direction food sales were a tremendous success. Her portrayal of Father in the senior play was thoughtfully done. As sports editor of the Cantofia and as gym captain, she encouraged seniors to become more sports-minded. We shall remember Rei for her lively humor and her feeling for rhythm. Susan Palmer A walking encyclopedia with a delightfully dry wit, that's our Suelee, who has been an integral part of the class for twelve years. Several times gym captain and volleyball general manager in her senior year, she has worked hard to create' enthusiasm, for sports partici- pation. As photography editor of the Cantoria she spent many hours trimming and pasting snaps. We will remember her for her passion for jazz and her ability to dress like a Mississippi gambler. Joyce Pan kratz Joyce is a clever girl with a gentle smile. As an actress she proved her versatility by portraying Alison, the foolish maid, in the Lakeside play, and John Brooke in the senior' play. As Mary in the Christmas Pageant she was lovely. Editor of the Jinx, assistant editor of the Cantoria, as well as class captain-these are some of the many duties that fill this busy senior's time. In her spare moments she plays the piano and studies just enough to get on the honor roll. 30 Nancy Parsons During Nancy's three years at Saint Nicholas she has been class captain twice, vice-president of Student Government, and secretary of the Ski Club. As alum- nae editor of the Cantoria she spent a great deal of time compiling names and statistics. Nancy was chemistry lab assistant during her senior year. We will remember her for her sophisticated performance of Laurie in the senior play and her year-around sun tall. Noreen Raymond Noreen, with her knack of breaking bones and making us chuckle, has inspired many class teams to victory. She has demonstrated her efficiency as president, vice- president and secretary of the Athletic Association. As an invisible worker, an inventor of new escapades, and a participant of all class activities, Noreen has endeared herself to us. Nancy Rudy Nan entered Saint Nicholas as a junior, bringing an admirable quality of capability. As prompter for the senior play, narrator for the Christmas Pageant, and assistant business manager of the Cmzioria, she has accepted responsibility willingly and eiliciently. The class will always remember her bubbling laughter and unsellish devotion to class projects. 31 Judy Stusser Stuss' hilarious sense of humor has provided our class with many a riotous moment, endearing this redhead to all. Her exceptional portrayal of Professor Bhaers in the senior play was evidence of her histrionic ability. She showed her artistic talent as aff director of both The Jinx and the Camoria. Her continual narratives of Reed College and San Francisco we shall always remember, as well as her great sense of fairness and generosity. Josie Troxell Our Trox, with her lovable nature and hysterical laugh, is a hard-working member of our class. As business editor of Cantoria, class captain, and general manager for basketball, she demonstrated her capa- bility and school spirit. Her sympathetic portrayal of Jo in the senior play proved her acting ability. We shall always remember Josie's friendly smile, consid- erate attitude toward all who know her, and her un- selfish devotion to class projects. Sharon Washburn Shorty, our home economist Cshe has won the home economics cup for two yearsb, has held many class offices efficiently. Sharon's willingness to participate in class functions, and her happy-go-lucky attitude are characteristics which will be remembered by all. 32 l m rr or LOUISE EDMUNDS ANNE MICKELWAIT JOYCE Glam 'illttnhv The Cum Laude Society, an organization on the secondary school level modeled on Phi Beta Kappa, was founded at the Tome School in 1906 by Dr. Abram W. Harris, who was determined that scholastic achievement should receive as much recognition as was given to all other activities. The original name of the society was Alpha Delta Tau Fraternity, but, because of the hos- tility to Greek letter fraternities of a different character, the name was changed to The Cum Laude Society in 1916, and the society was incorporated under the laws of the State of Maryland. Thanks to the service of Dr. Harris and Mr. Cecil A. Ewing, present director of the jacob Tome Institute, the society has enlarged itself from the original charters granted seven secondary schools to a membership of one hundred fifty-three of the leading schools in the country. On january 9, 195 6, Miss Smith announced to the Saint Nicholas Board of Trustees, the faculty and the students that the school had been granted a charter by the Board of Regents of The Cum Laude Society. Charter members from the faculty, including all who hold membership in Phi Beta Kappa or' Sigma Xi, include Rondeau Evans, Ruth Heilman, Ann Neil, Laure Nichols, Henrietta Reifler, Virginia Smith and Belle Stevens. At an election held March 20, Rondeau Evans became president and Ruth Heilman, secretary. At a special ceremony April 26 Saint Nicholas Chapter was officially installed and the first initiation conferred membership upon Louise Edmunds, Anne Mickelwait and Joyce Pankratz. A plaque, which will carry the names of these initiates and all those of future years, was presented to the school by the senior class and immediately hung in a place of honor in the front hall. 33 0112155 In 1943 our present class began with the arrival of Nancy Nickum and Nancy Parsons in the kinder- garten class. Parsons, however, thought the compe- tition was too great, and left after that year. Weezie entered pre-first in 1944. The only new member of the class in 1945 was Sue Palmer, our 12-year girl- to-be. In 1946 Josie Troxell and Mary Hornby, long hair and all, joined what was then the second grade. At the end of the school year in 1947, Nick and Weezie departed to attend . . . coed institutions! In 1948 Josie left our class when her family moved to Portland. The bulk had diminished to two, and the fifth grade presented no other prospects. The sixth grade, however, was enlivened by the arrival of Val Dempsey, who was a king through and through. 34' N 5 A ' i llliatnrg New members deluged the future senior class in the seventh grade. Weezie returned to our hallowed halls, bringing with her Noreen Bonebreaker Raymond, Alice, Hatch, Pankratz, and Judi Donnan, our one and only Deedee. In 1951 Rei made her debut to our class but left after one year, for some odd reason. Hornby also left for a year's stretch in boarding school. Egg joined the freshman class in 1953, along with Sharon Washburn, who made a perfect Jeff for Joyce's Mutt. The sophomore class returned four students-Nick, Hornabee, Jose', and Parsons, who was bigger now and felt more able to cope with things-and added two new redheads, Annabelle and Stuss, to increase the membership to 16 girls. The return of Rei Nielsen in the junior year, plus the addition of Nan Rudy, completed the roster of the class of 1956. l ' as :QQ i xi?

Artiuitira eg as A A 9 ,QV . .51 ity .El Svvninr Flag A dramatization of the well-loved Little Women, by Louisa May Alcott, was presented by the senior class on November 10. This year an added attraction was appropriate music sung by the whole class between acts. Under the capable direction of Mrs. Reifler and the combined efforts of the cast and the indis- pensable stage hands, the play produced a genuinely successful effect. . + 38 C6122 Qllnh - ,xxx C ..x.. Q The Glee Club, under the direction of Miss Lid gate, began one of its most successful years by singing at the Stanford Mothers' Club and the Magnolia Pre-school Parents Association. Be- sides the Christmas Pageant and graduation, they presented two assemblies. Josie Troxell was presidentg Judy Hatch, roll officer, and Judy Donnan, librarian. Nancy Bain was a very capable accompanist. Glhriatmrta 1521923113 39 The title of this year's Christmas Pageant, honoring the birthday of Saint Nicholas, on December 17, was The Handmaiden's Search. Anne Mickelwait portrayed the Handmaid- en and Joyce Pankratz was Mary, while Joan Steckel gave the tradi- tional welcoming address. This year, for the first time, modern dancing to the accompaniment of Christmas mu- sic preceded the tableaux. Nan Rudy and Judy Hatch narrated the pageant while the Glee Club, in the back- ground, sang accompaniment. The traditional presentation of the birth- day cakes, followed by the singing of the Alma Mater, ended the annual pageant. luninr lgrnm On January 28, the juniors and seniors arrived at the junior Prom at the Benjamin Franklin Hotel, after having attended a coketail party given by Diana Gardner and Georgia Stokes at Georgia's home. The juniors had decorated the ballroom with balloons, crepe paper balls, and streamers to carry out their theme of A Night in Venice, with an added touch of two live doves and a singing gondolier. After a delicious dinner and dancing to the music of the Esquires, the party continued at the homes of Judi Donnan and Penny Perkins. 40 Qixrhange illunrhvnn On February 14, Valentine's Day, the Saint Nicholas seniors enjoyed an exchange luncheon with mem- bers of the senior class at Lakeside. Meanwhile, out juniors remained here entertaining other Lakeside guests. This was the second such annual luncheon to be held, and we sincerely hope that the hospi- tality and friendliness shown on these occasions will continue for many years. liltminr :Mime The hard-working juniors, guided by Mrs. Heilman, did an outstand- ing job on The Jinx this year. Jackie Fox was editor during the first semester, then Lucy Cantril assumed the responsibility. The entire school eagerly awaits the arrival of each new issue of The jifzx, and the class of 1957 de- serves commendation for its excel- lent work in upholding this im- portant Saint Nicholas tradition. Glhampinnahip Hnllvghttll The volleyball season, with Sue Palmer as general manager, proved highly suc- cessful. The seniors won the cup in close games against the junior teams with scores of 18 to 15 and 54 to 32.

The downtown lights from neon signs and store windows flicker on and offg but few people are awake to see them. There are no taxis with their incessant horn blow- ing, dodging in and out of the streets. No pedestrians scurry down the sidewalksg no buses swerve dangerously into a steady stream of traffic. Peering out of a tall building one smells the fresh air, the salt smell from the bay seems to cleanse the town from the un- pleasant odors of exhaust pipes, garbage, and the open-air markets. A filmy white cloud hangs over the city, temporarily en- gulfing it in fog. To the east the bridge 'appears to lead through the mist into a land of make-believe. The lake is calm. A cat meanders slowly down the street in search of a morning meal. A seagull's cry pierces the still air. These are the first signs of activity from the drowsy city. House lights dot the darkened landscape, the sun begins its long journey across the sky. A milk truck clatters slowly up the pavement, a garbage truck rumbles down an alley. People go about their daily tasks. The buses start their busy trips. The street lights no longer shine brightlyg the neon signs continue to blink on and off, on and off. A few automobiles drive down the street, and by 7:30 more and more cars jamgthe streets. Taxis and pedestrians be- come numerous, children scamper gaily to school. Headed for work, men and women bustle, crowd, jab, push, shove and tram- ple on one another to get on a bus, sub- way, train, or boat. The peaceful hour of dawn has given way to the busy day. The city-no longer still-teems and sways with people and machines. JUDY HATCH, Grade 12 The Raging Sea It was a windy night, A frost-biting night The night I saw the sea. The clouds were roaming, The moon was bright It presented an 'air of mystery. The waves were dancing, The seas were swirling, A rumble sounded From Neptune's voice, He was Angry As could be. He suddenly appeared Above the sea, His famous trident in his hand, He gave a sigh A heavy moan. O'er all the world The seas turned black With rage. The lightning cracked, The winds they howled, The heavens too Were tiled, The tempest storm Went On And on Till dawn was growing near. A whistle sounded, It was high, And still -I looked up quickly To see A boat Being eaten, Eaten By the sea. It was morning now The skies had Cleared The raging sea had calmed: The only proof That the storm had been Is the disappearance Of the boat, That boat That now is gone. JEAN ANN WATSON-Grade 9 43 A Dog's Life When people speak of a dog's life, they usually mean a miserable form of living. This expression certainly would not describe the life our dog leads. The schedule of our dachshund is a continued series of eating, sleeping, sun bathing, and being loved. She waddles through life having all the comforts and being spared the discomforts. Her attitude toward us and the house is one of complete ownership. If anyone gets in her chair, she pushes them out, and anything she wishes to do, she does. Her one and only job is that of four-legged doorbell and protector of the house, but most of the time she sleeps on the job. I envy her few self -appointed duties. She completely ignores the work, grief, and trials of human life. Her only concern is her stomach and how to keep it filled and warm. She is a picture of deep contentment. She takes a relaxed viewpoint toward everything except dinner time. Most of the time she sleeps on her down puff, hardly batting an eye at people going in and out of the room. But let a stranger ring the doorbell, and she's off, bark- ing and growling maliciously to protect her house. All this may add to the attraction of becom- ing a dog, but the one thing I would gladly change places with her for is the work she doesn't do. She loafs around in the day, sleep- ing late and doing what she pleases, not having to get up early and go to school. In the evening she accepts tidbits after dinner while I'm up- stairs studying. She never has to worry about getting work done or grades or report cards. When warm weather comes, our family works around the yard while she capers and plays, digging holes in the flower beds and chasing robins.. To conclude, I wouldn't mind becoming a dog at all and living in luxury with no worries or cares. Whoever thought up the phrase a dog's life didn't know our dachshund. Living the life of Riley would describe her life better. LAURIEN WILCOX - Grade 9 'k Antelope Bounding gracefulness is there to see, Blending in distant harmony.

NANCY DARE- Grade 9 Lnterttrg The Persons I'd Like Most to Meet ,X I X Observe Brotherhood Week! My name is Jasper, I'm a bee. As all of you students of C pardon the blasphemyj biology know, there are three classes of bees, the queen, the drone and the worker. I'm one of those lazy drones who does nothing but eat the honey laboriously made by the workers. I also stand I would just love to step through a magic looking glass into Wonderland. My name is Alice, so I really deserve a journey through the land of the unbelievable. How funny to see Mr. Rabbit scurrying from his home, look- ing at his watch and mumbling I'm late, I'm late, for a very important date. And what a laugh the Mad Hatter would give me, the arrogant, old slob. In my travels I might come upon that funny old tiger of Mr. Blake's that got passed around from writer to writer. You know the one I mean- Tiger, tiger, hurning bright In the forest of the night, What immortal hand or eye Could frame thy fearful symmetry? ' If he should jump out in front of me from some dense bushes, I'm sure I would not be afraid. After all, any tiger who was able to get along with mixed-up writers, could certainly get along with me CI may be disorganized, but I most certainly am NOT mixed up. There is a great difference, you knowj. As a matter of fact, maybe he fthe tiger, I meanl would in- spire me to write something really great, like uh- Tiger, tiger in the tree, Wheu you jump, don't land on me! Say, do you know who I would really like to meet in Wonderland? One of those terrible Brobdingnagians who tried to drown poor Gul- liver in the cream pitcher. Really, I should just tell those awful creatures exactly what I think of them. Oh, how I would make their ears burn! It just makes me get all hufled up to think about it! There would be so many lovely things to do and see if only I could step through the magic looking glass., How wonderful to see a beauti- ful queen, riding on the back of a huge, light- green elephant flight green is my favorite color and that's the color my nightgown is going to be on my wedding nightj. One person I would run from if I saw him, would be the Kubla Khan. Everybody who sees him cries, II Beware! Beware! Hir flarhing eyer, hir floating hair! Weave a circle 'round him thrice, Ana' close your eyer with Holy dread, For he on honey flew hath fed, And drunk the milk of Paradi.re. Doesn't he sound simply scary? Oh well, I'll probably never even grow up, let alone go to Wonderland. I'll just stay ten years old and wear braces and pigtails all my life. Actually, though.. if I grow up, I'll have to be interested in men, and I simply can't abide them! Aucs ARNOLD-Grade 12 hill 5 X All X ,fl . Xxx Running free on the cool white sand I feel no longer the torturing band. Shipwrecked vessels in my way stood Now dwindling down to smooth driftwood. The warm night wind, the sultry air Pacify my soul, yet I cannot bear The cry from within that seems to call. Am I running, running only to fall? My dreams sear my heart, the very core Salt water poured on an open sore. I run, I run-only to fall I rise, then crumple on coral wall. But soon the wearying fog will lift I'll rescue dreams long cast adrift. The sun will glow and spread its rays Searching my trifling, my childish ways. LUCY CANTRIL-Grade .s I' me X Z s . hx N - K- t. i X 1 44 l in the queque to the queen's boudoir with ten thousand other drones in order that the popu- lation of our hive may be kept stable. This may sound like a very dull life to some of you fly-by-nights, but a few days ago I was the victim of an experience that would satisfy any thrill seeker. One of my closest relatives lives a few hives away from my place. I had decided to pay it a visit. CI say its because my relative is a worker and they are not classified.J After a cup of honey and an hour of idle buzzing, I left for home. Flying leisurely along, minding my own business, I was suddenly engulfed in a swirl of flre and smoke. After fighting my way out into- the open air and crying the smoke from my eyes, I looked back to see the cause of the oddity. In front of me was this crazy, fire- breathing snapdragon. This dragon was just asking for a quarrel. I'm usually quite a peace- ful bee, but when this flower started snapping at me and blowing fire and smoke in my direc- tion, I became disturbed. In fact, I was furious! Gad, I thought, why wasn't I born a worker so that I would have a stinger? I'd mutilate this smart flower. I buzzed a circle around the dragon's head and asked him what his problem was. I'm a bee hater, he snapped. Listen, dragon, said I, this happens to be national brotherhood week. So what? he snapped back. You ain't no brother of mine. We don't even belong in the same phylum. ' That is beside the point, I replied. Dur- ing brotherhood week, one is supposed to love his neighbor just as much as he loves himself. That's impossible, said the dragon. I ain't possessed of that much love. Realizing that I was not accomplishing any- thing by arguing with this smart aleck, I formed a plan of action. Quickly I flew to my hive. I related my experience to a group of workers. They became so enraged at this un- brotherly, fire-breathing snapdragon, that they decided to eliminate him. Warming up their stingers, they prepared for attack. Form your ranks, its, I shouted, and I led the way. It was a sad sight. The dragon didn't have a chance. So, my friends, take care and observe brotherhood week. This could be you!

I like people with ambition. They seem to get more from life than those of us who are more easily satisfied. In fact, one of the best examples I can think of to illustrate my point is the louse of Robert Burns' immortal poem To a I.ouse. Unlike the common ordinary run-of-the-mill louse, he is not content with living in some beggar's hut among, as Burns so put it, his kindred jumping cattle. Although he was born there, he has seen the world and has decided that life has better things to offer. Progressed far beyond his comrades, this louse has even gone to church. It could be he stayed there quite some time before he saw a person fit for his aristocratic tastes. As soon as he saw ber he knew he had found his ideal. Oh, the soft sheen to the fabric of her dress and bonnet. What heaven to crawl in after the hard wood of the pews and the dirt and rags of his first home. Here again an only slightly extraor- dinary louse might have been satisfied by a parson or a shopkeeper, but our louse only wanted the best. Y Let us imagine what might have happened if he had lived to spread the word of the luxury he had found. It could have resulted in a world- wide revolt of lice. The lice of Scotland would quickly spread the word to England, Ireland and Wales. Soon only the best people would be seen wearing lice. A man's wealth or fame might be measured by the number of them one could see inhabiting his clothing. The move- ment would spread to all the other countries, and soon the louse might have become a world- wide badge of distinction. Among the lice them- selves, classes might have developed. Of course the lice of the royal families would rank the highest, and among the royal lice themselves, those of more important countries would be honored above those of lesser countries. In fact, their social order would probably follow along much the same lines as that of men. Naturally those poor deluded few that were satisfied by their lot before and after the Revolution would be socially untouchable. Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, this great Revolution never came about, for this potential leader of lice didn't live to carry out his plan. As he revelled in rolling on the rib- bon of her bonnet, she suddenly started up, and before he knew what was happening he had fallen to the floor. He scurried to catch up with her. He reached the door, and the wheel of his coach. just then fate dealt a crushing blow to the future of all lice. As he concen- trated on leaping to the wheel, the crude boot of the very beggar whose hut had been his birthplace smashed the only hope for the revolt o lice. Though a louse is not generally considered a person, this louse's exceptional ambition and character enable one to consider himg and, as I said before, I like a person, even a louse that has ambition.
