We were not at all bashful but we earnestly hope that we did not give our teachers quite so inuch trouble as some freshmen since. About the first thing we did was to hold a class meeting. show- ing our good judgment by electing Edward Decker for presi- dent, Marjorie Fink for vice-president, Charlotte Corbin for secretary and Hildred McIlwain for treasurer. Soon after our arrival we were tendered a reception by the class of '21 Wife enjoyed an evening made pleasant by num- bers rendered by different nieinbers of high school. tWe shall always reineinber and marvel at Mr. Kelsey 's inagicl. Shortly after this we held our iirst hot dog roast at Mt, lltsayantha Lake with Miss U'Hara and Mr. Van llfie as chap- erones. Nothing out of the ordinary happened during that year. VVe took a little something out of everything going and had a good tiine in general. Just before school closed for the sunnner vacation, we had our picnic at Sherman Lake with Mrs. Corbin for chaperon. Thus the events of our lirst year came to a close and we went on to our second year, glad that We were no longer to be called babies lVe began our sophoinore year early in the year by call- ing a class ineeting. This year we chose Charlotte Corbin for president, Glenn Hayner for vice-president and Ruth Hall for secretary and treasurer. The first event of our sophomore year was the annual hot d-og , roast. Accompanied by Mr. Van Wie as chaperon, we Went one evening to Odell Lake. Like most dog roasts, this Was a huge success. i . That year started us upon our career as editors. VVe were to be the tirstthat year to publish the Reveille. Nile elected William Atchinson as editor and Glenn Hayner as assistant editor with the rest of us as associate editors. This, the one and only Reveille which we published, was quite a success. The next thing of importance was to determine our class motto, flower and colors. After a little argument we decided upon the following: Class motto-Accipere quam facere iniuriam praestat. tlt is better to suffer wrong than to do it.l Class flower-Lily of the valley. Class colors-Blue and gold. Our annual picnic was held at Cooperstown Lake on Sat- urday, June sixteenth, with Misses Helen and Elizabeth Bruce as chzlpcrons. Cn the first of September, the class held a meeting to de- cide on the officers. Hildred McIlwain as president, Charlotte Corbin as vice-president, Herbert Hedges as secretary, and Ruth Hall as treasurer were the oliicers selected. However, due to the new count system, in October, it was necessary to select new ollicers. From the five Juniors that were left Marjorie Fink was chosen as president, Charlotte Corbin as vice-presi- dent and Ruth Hall as secretary and treasurer. Cn becoming Juniors we had the privilege of' selecting class pins. The big event of our Junior year was held on May six- teenth. This was our Junior Prom given at the Country Club. It was an invitation dance. We had a good orchestra a11d held the dance from eight until two. NVe realized about eighty-eight dollars. This was very good for Juniors. In the first part of June we held our picnic at Coopers- town Lake with Miss Cowles and Miss McPhee as chaperons. Our Senior year has been, by far, the most fun, and the one in which We have worked the hardest. Vlle organized at once, choosing for president Harry Mor- row, for vice-president Charlotte Corbin, and Ruth Hall for secretary and treasurer. VVe at once welcomed the new members to high school with a reception. Several numbers were rendered, after which re- freshments were served. Everyone seemed to have a good time. The next money-earning plan was a card party. Marjorie Fink was appointed chairman. Under her management the af- fair was very successful and we realized about twenty dollars. lt was about this time that we bought ninety-six dollars worth of candy. lYe raised forty-eight dollars from that. VVe have also sold neckties in the school colors. In January our class was made much larger by the addition of about twelve students, some of them planning to make the four years in three. These students till out our number by six. Soon after this we held two bake sales, realizing from the two of them about fifty dollars. All these sums helped our bank account considerably, but still we did not have enough to take us to Washington. We decided to have a play. So we gathered together the talent of our class and on March twenty-seventh, we presented The Elopement of Ellen in the new Memorial Gymnasium. Miss Helen Hubbard was the coach and director. The play in itself was a huge success, but due to bad weather, not many people were out. This added about one hundred dollars to our bank account. A week from the following Wed- nesday, We presented the play at Windham. The following Saturday, chaperoned by Miss Helen Hub- bard, thirteen of us started at six a. m. for VVashington. I do not think it is possible for anyone to have a more wonderful time than we had at Washington. Meanwhile, we had all been taking part in the production of the Camera Ruth Hall was elected editor-in-chief and Harry Morrow for assistant editor-in-chief, the rest of the class acting as associate editors. And now, as the four years draw to a close, and We look back over them and think of the joys and sorrows We have shared, the hard work and carefree play we have had together, we think of the many things dear old Stamford Seminary has given us and hope that we may prove worthy of the care and love she has bestowed on us in trying to mold us into wise, in- telligent men and women and honest citizens.

Archie is an ideal student. lVe seldom see him with- out some massive volume tucked under his arm. He has ex- hausted the school .and town libraries completely. Very soon for lack of reading material he may write to supply his needs. Archie is a fine chap and is liked by everyone. He never is too busy to help someone else. His chief hobby is Latin, and in this particular subject he is at his best. He is full of fun and was the life of the party on the trip to Washington. Some of his numbers were tongue-twisting Latin selections in both song and prose. Archie has high ambitions, and we all wish him the best of luck in whatever he undertakes. BERNICE EVELYN CLARK H CLARKIE ' ' South Gilboa, New York She's the winningest ways with the beaux But there isnlt a man of them knows The mind of the fickle Coquette! Bernice joined the class in her freshman year, after Wast- ing several years of her innocent young life in far-away South Gilboa. Bernice soon made many friends a11d a great deal of the mischief in the school-but we musn't tell that! Since Milly went away Bernice has never been 'quite the same until this winter, but this year her spirits are high and her most oft-heard greeting is, t'Oh, I just heard the fun- niest thing l CHARLOTTE MARGARET CORBIN 4'DoT ' ' Stamford, New York Gay and laughing, small, petite, Light of heart and light of feet, Always cheery, merry and bright, She's one of our Seniors who's all right. Track Teaml-'22. Secretary-'22. President-'23, Vice President-'24. Vice President-'25. You have heard the saying- Small but mighty -that is Dot She is one of the pusl1ers behind the class. In fact, she has been all through her high school course. And you should see her play basket ball. Dot is really likeable, and home town folks are not -the only ones that are captivated by her charms. A tall, young man from the sunny island south of the U. S. A. seems to be infatuated with her. W'ith such a strong personality Dot l1as a bright future. EDNVARD SHIELDS DECKER DECK x Stamford, New York Eddie's a chap with lots of pep, He's a 'tgo-getter , just watch his step! President of Freshman Class '22, Reveille Staff '23, Base- ball Team '22, '23, '25, Basket Ball Team '24, '25. Eddie came up with the rest of us from the eighth grade. Edd?ie's general popularity was proved at once by the fact that he was immediately selected to pilot the freshman craft through its first stormy year. Eddie's hobbies are athletics and music. Ever since Deck entered high school he has played on the baseball team except his sophomore year during which he took a vacation from athletics. When he again entered the field of athletics he amazed us by his variety of curves, in- shoots and drops which would dishearten the ordinary batter. However, this year Deck has preferred the outfield. Like t'Babe Ruth, Deck,' has a lusty swing. Most of the play- ers cannot lift t'Deck's mighty war club, which he swings as if it were a tooth-pick. Deck's ability is not limited to baseball, for when he gets the basket ball his opponents might just as well give up. Of course, one must add to this his well-known liking for the weaker sex. Just at present, he seems to be interested in a little girl he calls Loney,,' but as he seems to have several rivals, we wonder how his athletic prowress will help him in his affairs of the heart. EDNA DOBSON Domain Gilboa, New York Lessons may come and lessons may go, But f'Dobbie keeps on smiling. There are some people in this wlorld who, to all outward appearances, are absolutely carefree. Dobbie is one of this sort. Her smile seems to be invincible, and she always appears as if things might be a whole lot worse. She started in as a Freshman making life merry for the teachers and so has con- tinued right through. Lessons and exams are nothing to Dobbie-and it doesn't matter in the least if she Hunks -at least so we believe. But beware H Dobbie , there is a judgment day at hand. MA RJORIE ELIZA BETH FINK 4'MARJ.,, Stamford, New York HBut still her tongue ran on. Reveille staff 23, president class '24, Junior Prom coni- mittee 24. Junior Prom committee third year. Marjorie has always l1ad good ideas and plans. Of course to get these ideas and plans across she had to talk. Her talking, tl1ougl1, was a sore trial to many of l1er fellow studlents who sometimes, though not often, wished to study. VVhen Marjorie first entered high school we understand that she intended to go to college after she had finished. Then for some unknown reason she decided not to go so far away from home, but to stop at Oneonta Normal School instead. Later we learned that her plans were again changed. In spite of that fact, we trust that the one who has made her change her mind about higher education will t'feed her well. JAMES JOSEPH GOVERN 'LJIMMIEH Stamford, New York Jimmie is a whiz, of that we have no doubt, But when it comes to Virgil scansion-he's left out. ' Reveille staff '23, Camera staff '25. Jimmie came to us fresh from the little town of South Gilboa. Since that first day of entrance he has been one of our brightest and most faithful members. Jimmie's worst habit is his desire to chat, especially in Virgil class. Although we all like Jimmie very much, we wish he wouldn't talk so much as it sometimes gets us into trouble, also. -lt., VVILLIAM HENRY GOVERN BILL Stamford, New York Wl1en he smiles-he wins. Treasurer '23, Baseball '23, '24, Prize Speaking '24, '25, Orchestra '23, '24, '25, Athletic Editor of Reveille '23, Bill joined our class in January. He is finishing his high school course in three years, which is no small feat. Bill has received l1is education tl1us far in Stamford, and if he continues in college as he has here we may reason- ably expect great things of l1in1 in the future. t'Bill is a wonderful musician and has done a great deal in developing our school orchestra. For two years he was a star on the baseball team and his heavy hitting, in many instances, has turned the score in our favor. This year he became very popular as Hcheer leader at the basket ball games. Bill has a wonderful personality that has made him well liked by everyone, and we sincerely hope that he will be successful ,in his future life. RUTH HALL RUFUs Stamford, New York Ruth Hall is very sedate VVe wonder if she ever had a date, But nevertheless we must confess, That of our class she is the best. 7 Reveille staff '22, Editor-in-Chief Camera '25, Secretary and Treasurer of Class '22, '23, '24 and '25, Perhaps one of our most studlious girls is Ruth Hall. Ruthis valedictorian this year, and is surely worthy of the honor. Very little can be said about Ruth because she is al- ways quiet. However, her Bostonian accent is very noticeable and Ruth's temper is shown most when one jokes her about it. Next year, so I hear, she is to be one of the college Freshies . We wonder if she will lose any of her dignity then. IDA MAE HAMILTON HHAMH South Kortright, New York , Down the floor, down tl1e floor, There goes Ida to raise the score. Baseball '22, Basketball '22, '23 and '24. Ida came to Stamford Seminary from South Kortright. She has taken part in school activities, especially basketball in which she was a great help. Ida, like most of us, is not any too fond of studying, but she manages to get there some way or other. She likes all out door sports and at present seems to be in- terested in trapping beavers Ida has seemed to like the Freshmen pretty Well-that is to say, some of them. CAROLINE MARG UERITE HICKOK 4 ' Corirr' ' Stamford, New York A smile will go a long, long way. Orchestra '23, '24, '25, first prize, prize speaking contest '24, inter-scholastic prize speaking '24, secretary and treas- urer '23g exchange editor of Reveille '23, vice president '24. Caroline walked in like all the rest of us and became a ,l3'reshman. Now she is waiting to be graduated. In the mean- time she is having a good time. She entered high school a year later than We did, but she has made up for lost time and is ex- pecting to be graduated with us. For the past year Caroline has developed a desire to en- ter Training Class a11d become a teacher. VVe wonder if as- sociation has influenced her in this regard. HILDRED DURINE McILWAIN HBUNNYH Davenport, New York HA little nonsense now and then Is relished by the best of men. 'l'rack team '22, adv. editor Camera '25, class treasurer '21, basket ball '22-'23, speaking contest '22-'23-'24, Reveille staff '22. A few years ago there were assembled in the chapel of Stamford Seminary F1'QSllII1811H from all the surrounding towns. Among those present was Bunny, Some one drop- ped a book and Bunny giggled. ln fact I believe that she decided then and there to laugh her way through high school and on to the stage on graduation day. Anyway, it is a well known fact that t'Bunny does not believe that books are all one needs to enjoy life. Twice 'tBunny has given her talent to make prize speak- ing a success. She has also taken an active part i11 basket ball and baseball. Now that she is a Senior, Bunny is doing her bit to make her last year all that it should be. ELSIE MILDRED MORE HRIIOREH Grand Gorge, New York A quiet little girl is Elsie, So she appears to beg But when you get to know her, You'll think differently. lVho is that very quiet girl over by the window? VVhy that is Elsie More. Don 't you know her? She came to us at the beginning of l1er third year from Roxbury High School. Did you say she was quiet ? Maybe she is in school but some of her friends who know l161' more intimately out of school seem to think differently. Although Elsie has not taken much part in the activities of the Senior Class heretofore she has certainly made up for it in aiding the Seniors in putting out the Camera. HARRY ROBERTS MORROVV BROTHER Stamford, New York And still we gazed, and still the wonder grew, That one small head could carry all he knew. Freshman Reveille staff, vice president of Freshman class, president Sophomore class, president, Senior class, Camera. staff, basket ball '23-'24-'25, baseball '23-'24-'25, One of the best all-around fellows in Stamford Seminary is the subject of this writing. HB1'0tl16'1'H is what one could? term a good kid. His cheery disposition and good sportsmansliip have won him great popularity-nor is it only masculine admiration that he re- ceives. He is an outstanding person and holds the most im- portant position in' the class-that of president. He has proved himself a capable leader. But Brotl1er has not been among the foremost only in classwork, he is a splendid athlete and has always participated in both baseball and basketball games. Brother is rather unsettled as yet about his choice of college-but since we know what a whiz he has always been, we feel certain that he will be a success in any field of work. KENNETH LUNGWORTH PECK PEcKx ' Jefferson, New York Six feet tall, no wonder they fall, For Big Boy, that's Big Boy. Baseball '22, '23, '24, '25, basketball '23, '24, '25, speak- ing contest '24, '25, Pecky comes from that well known section of Stamford called Peck street. He isn't too ambitious but he always man- ages to get thru. During his high school course he has won fame as center of the basket ball team and as first baseman in baseball. Next year Pecky enters the field of that nerve racking profession, teaching. Can you imagine him teaching some stubborn child his A, B, C's? Pecky is a. good sport and is always ready for a good time. Rest assu1'ed he will yet add fame to the name of Peck. DONALD 'WRIGHT RICHTER ' ' DON ' ' Stamford, New York We treated and Don ate with us, Don treated, but he ate alone. Baseball '23, '24, captain '2-1, basket ball '23, 24. Dont' has been with us all four years of our high school life. Don , although quite a tease, has always been popular with the girls as well as with the boys. However, he has never paid much attention to the girls in high school because of the fact that his thoughts have been centered on one of the grade teachers. During the iirst part of his course t'Don,' was a star on the horizon of the athletic field, but during the last year Don has been too busy with other things to rise. Nile would suggest that if Don intends to go farther with his education, he attend a Scotch University, because it is said that they have savings banks there instead of fratere nities. ETHEL LOUISE STICKLES H STICKLI-is i ' Stamford, New York Ethel is our poet, And an aid in every way, ' What the Camera would be without her, Wle hardly venture to say. Reveille '23, Camera '25. Ethel, one of our prominent three year students, has worked hard for the goal. Ethel has taken part in many out- side activities as Well as in school. We often wonder how Ethel iinds time for school work and We believe that it must be her indefatigable purpose to win that urges her on to vic- tory. Ethel has a strong inclination toward the opposite sex, but from all appearances, this year, we believe that she thinks Hvariety is the spice of life. A LEONA ELIZABETH THOMPSON LoNEY Stamford, New York What would we do without Loney? It's certainly hard to say, Her laughter and jolly good spirits- Havci helped us along the way. News editor Reveille '23 vice president Sophomore class 7 '24, president Junior class '25, track team '23, basket ball team- '24. 'tlionevu formed mart of that vast green area which deco- . l . ra rated the front rows of chapel in nineteen hundred and twenty- two to twentv-three. However unlike most freshmen. . 7 ' honey did not waste her valuable tune, but used it in con- quering jaw-breaking Latin phrases and solving unearthly algebraic equations. During her sophomore year, Loney took more interest in outside activities. Since tl1e beginning of her senior year HLoney has changed her idea of a good time. Now all she needs or wants to make her happy is a slippery dance floor a11d a jazzy or' chestra. Still, however, Loney,s card lacks a touch of the scarlet, and she continues to translate her jaw-breaking Latin phrases. She has added to her scholastic ability, this year. the art of writing chemical formulae which cover the en- tire blackboard. MICHAEL JOHN JOSEPH VAMOSY MIKE Stamford, New York A boy that knows his lessons, A boy that we all like, He'd never skip a session- That's our studious Mike, Mike is another of our three yearn graduates Zllld he certainly l1as worked to obtain this goal. No task is too great for him. Added to his heavy school work he helps at home, four miles away-and walks to and from school every day. He has never taken part in athletics because he has been too busy. Mike has a great future as a classic dancer. It seems almost im iossible for him to kee J l1is feet still. l He is a very cynical young man. The farther away from the opposite sex he is, the better he is suited. He was o11e of the best sports on the trip to lVashington! Well, to be frank-he's a good sport every day in tl1e week! If he keeps 011 working in tl1e next four years as he has in the past three, Mike will certainly be a success. LETHA JULIA VOORHEES ' ' VooRHEEs ' ' Stamford, New York Une of our class is Letha dear, But that 's not the fact that I must make clear, Her name is Voorhees now you see, But it is not always so to be. Letha Voorhees, one of the quiet members of our class, has not taken much part in school activities. Perhaps this is because l1er greatest attraction is not in school. Letha nevertheless has changed our geographical idea of things. lVe understand that she has a 'fCleveland in Massa- chusetts, and that this is her favorite place. However, we hope that Letha will stay with us a while yet. P R O P H E C Y l stretched lazily and comfortably as I gazed into tl1e fire. I was drowsy and I must have fallen asleep. In a flame of memory I seemed to see a face, a familiar face. Archibald Canfield of course! I went to school with him at Stamford Seminary. As I continued to watch the fire '4Archie lived a life of varied experiences. He worked a short time on his father's farm before attending Thanatopsis Theological Seminary. Archie preached for a number of year. He was a very suc- cessful but l1is continued investigation and reading led him to enter a. monastery. He appeared to be writing his auto- biography when the scene changed and I saw Bernice Clark. Bernice was graduated from a well known business col- lege and became at most successful business woman. While visiting in New Jersey she renewed her acquaintance with an old friend and later she n1arriedwhimTwHe1'.romanczezlzhanged l1er so that when I last saw her, she was making a speech urg- ing tl1e teaching of do111estic science in all schools. Charlotte Corbin remained at home a few years. After a while she became tired of Stamford and went away. Soon it was heard that H Dot was advancing rapidly in her career as an actress. She was hailed as a second Bernhardt and played before large audiences. She was the favorite actress of the Spanish king, but she decided that recognition by the public was not tl1e sweetest thing in life, so she returned to Stamford and her old friends. Next, I saw Edward Decker. He continued his study of tl1e saxophone u11der a noted professor of music. Later, he in- vented a method by which the saxophone could be used for classical music. Edward was disappointed in a love affair with an old school mate of his. His sorrow inspired him to write beautiful music, and tl1e most famous of his compositions was entitled LoneCljy . Edna Dobson took a business course and became the pri- vate secretary of tl1e se11ior pa1'tner of a large manufacturing company. Edna continued to work here and was so well liked that her employer left her his share of the business when he died. The business was very successful but after several years Edna left illld became one of the stars in a. happy romance. Marjorie Fink attended college and graduated with high honors. Her editorials on 'tRiding as a Sport and a Health- giving Exercise won her fame. She became tl1e owner of a stable of racing, saddle horses that broke 11ot only American but also European records. Marjorie was a bachelor girl. James Govern was very much impressed with the plays he saw while he was in Washington, so after commencement he went to New York and attended many plays. At last, he saw one play, Seven Chances , which showed merit but which was poorly attended, so he became a regular member of the audience, he seldom missed a matinee and 11ever an evening performance. Eventually Jimmie married the lead'ing lady. Then, since it was necessary to support his wife, Jimmie joined the police force. He may he seen now, directing traliic at the corner of Ffth Avenue and Forty-second Street. William Govern was tl1e director of the college orchestra during his four years at college. When he graduated, VVillian1 and his two brothers formed an orchestra called The Tune- ful Trio. The orchestra was very successful and Was in great demand at all the popular hotels. William was the com- poser of the most popular hits of the time. Ruth Hall attended Radcliffe College. She taught dietet- ics in a girl's boarding school. Many of her diets and menus were published and used extensively. Ruth did not think the school Was managed correctly, so she founded the Hall Select School for Girls. The school was very popular with the practical girls of the age. Ida Hamilton, who was always interested in sports while she was in high school, became a professional basket hall player on the Chicago VVoman's Team. Ida was the star play- er and became the owner and manager of the team. The team won almost every possible championship in Am-erica and then toured several European countries. While abroad, Ida was presented to the kings of England a.nd Denmark and the Pres- idents of France and Germany. Cf all the countries she vis- ited Ida preferred England, and she married the third son of the English king. Hildred Mcllwain married soo11 after she graduated and settled down on a little farm. She became interested in sheep raising and her stock was considered the best in the country. Hildred's talents were many, and she also promoted many wel- fare movements. Her name will be remembered by many who did not know her personally because she wrote several well- known declamatory essays. Elsie More was one of tl1e lirst young ladies to be allowed to attend Harvard College. She specialized in physiography. She became a member of the United States Geological Survey and traveled widely. 'When a trip Was made to the peak of Mt. Everest, Elsie discovered a platinum mine. After this, Elsie was, of course, highly honored. A few years after her discovery of platinum, Elsie found that radium could be got- ten from the Fiji Islands. She became queen of the Islands. N ext, l saw Harry Morrow, who l remembered had been president of his class. Harry took an engineering course at Stevens Tech. and was one of the most popular and most bril- liant members of l1is class. Apparently, Harry was good in everything. Among the many engineering feats to his credit are the canal from Lake Superior to the Pacific Ocean, the ir- rigation of the Sahara, tl1e bridges across the English Chan- nell and the Strait of Gibralter, the harnessing of the power generated by volcanoes, and the prevention of erosion of the canyon of the Colorado river. Kenneth Peek taught school in his home district for three years. After that experience, he attended college. VVhile at college he was an important member of the varsity baseball team. Peckie realised that the American people loved sport and were able to support many more professional teams, so he opened a school for boys where only athletics were taught. He became world famous, not only because of the originality of the idea but also because of the ability of his pupils. Several athletic teams were named for him, and surely he will never be forgotten by sport enthusiasts. Donald Richter studied art in New York City for several years before he Went abroad. He studied in Paris, Rome and London under well-known professors. Several of his pictures were hung in the Royal Academy. Don's most famous pie- tures were landscapes in the vicinity of his old home, done from memory, for he did not return to Stamford for many years. When he did visit his old home, his friends were great- ly surprised when he presented them to a pretty French girl much younger than himself, who was his Wife. Ethel Stiekles attended college and was the class poet. Ethel had many affairs but finally was happily married to a Spanish duke, whom she met at a reception at the lVhite House. VVhile she lived in the United States, her poetry was very practical, but after she we11t to her new home in Spain her poetry became more romantic. She was very famous. Leona Thompson graduated from Simmons College. She taught elocution for a few years and then became a profess- ional entertainer. Her songs and recitations were enjoyed in all the larger cities of the l'nited States. Her most popular number was Impersonations of Famous People. While at- tending college,gLeona met a young man who was destined to become the most famous actor of his time, and after several yearsgwllen their individual successes were accomplished, they married. They owned their own theatre in New York and suc- ceeded in combining their work. Michael Vamosy visited NVasl1ington Hlld became asso- ciated with certain political circles. VVhen his influence grew stronger, he reorganized many parts of the government, so that senior classes which 1nigl1t visit tl1e city in the future, un- like him, would find nothing to criticize. Letha,Voorhees became interested in politics and was a representative from her district while very young. She was very popular in political circles and was younger than any of her predecessors when she was elected governor of New York State. VVhen an altercation arose over the clearing of Mt. ,Utsayantha that it might be used as an airplane landing sta- tion, Letha was brought before the public eye, and praised for her diplomacy in handling the situation. Two years later she was elected first woman president of the United States. Just then something disturbed me-ding, ding, ding, ding --I sat up with a jerk. The little clock on the mantle piece above' the iireplace was striking. Surely dreams may come and dreams may go, but time runs on forever. ' U. M. H. '25. Addfendo- Uaroline attended Mount Holyoke College. After her graduation she taught high school English for several years and wrote a few short stories during that time. When she stopped teaching she wrote several novels. The purpose of her books was to educate the public mind and raise the stan- dard of literature. ?,,l..1l- COMMENCEMENT PROGRAM Sunday, June 21 - - Baccalaureate Sermon Monday, June 22 ---- Senior Ball Tuesday, June 23 - - - Class Day lllednesday, June 24 - - Commencement JUNIOR PICTURE BACK ROW, left to right: James Moore, Kenneth Doonan, Arthur Bush.

SIXTY MILES AN HOUR The Pattersons lived in a large beautiful white colonial house situated on the top of a large green terrace. In front of this mansion, stretched on either side of the white walk which led to the house, was a large velvet green lawn. On one side of the walk there was a white marble fountain. From the mouth of a serpent spurted a fine spray of water which showed irri- descent colors when the sun sl1o11e on it. On tl1e other side of the walk fish jumped and played in the warm water in a pond of white marble. There were benches around this pond and the two Patterson children loved to watch the fish as they played on warm sunny days. , VVhen Ellen and Allen, the Patterson twins, were three years old their n1other and father both met with a sad and shocking accident. The mother was killed instantly and' the father lived only a few hours. These two infant children were left alone except for the few distant relatives wl1o came to look after them and take tl1e1n i11to their homes. They were taken from Vernon, their home town, to distant places because their relatives lived far from Vernon. Ellen went to live with Mrs. Patterson's college ehum, Mrs. Bellamy, who lived in Richville. Since Mr. and Mrs. Bellamy had no children of their own, they were glad to take Ellen a11d give her the chances that her own parents would, had they lived. A Allen was taken by a wealthy illlllt wl1o lived in the West. This aunt was rather queer and not so young as she was once, but in spite of these drawbacks she was only too glad to be a mother to little Allen. The years flew by and Ellen became a young girl. VVith her blue eyes and light curly hair she was an exceedingly bea.u- tiful girl. She was not the least bit vain but one of the sweet, demure type who always had a sweet. cheerful word for every- one. Having finished her four years at an expensive college she was sent to a finishing school. At tl1is school she was very popular with the other girls especially Josephine Walker, her roomate, who was her best friend. Jo was in every way different from Ellen. Her hair was a shiny black,, which sl1e wore straight and bobbed. Her black eyes had a mischievous twinkle. She gave a certain tilt to her black head which suggested that she might be a modern Happer. One day while scl1ool was in session 'tJo decided that studies were a bother and that a roam around the town was more to her taste. She persuaded Ellen, after a long contro- versey, that she had better accompany her on the hike which she was going to take. Guess we better tur11 our steps toward l1o1ne. It's nearly dinner time and we're far from home, came from Jo who was always ready to eat. I would awfully hate to go to bed on the empty stomach that I have after this long walk, so I think we will have to hurry home, Ellen replied wearily turning towards home for she really was tired and a little peevish. HOD! I wish some swell looking chap with a nice car would roll up and' take us home. 1,111 nearly starved. This brought no answer from Ellen who was 11ot quite so eager for the men to show up as Jo , They walked on to- wards home without any conversation. I Honk! Honk! screachedl tl1e horn of a car as it came to a stop beside the two weary girls. Want a ride to town, girls? asked a masculine voice from behind the steering wheel. t'VVell! if it isn't little Ellen Patterson, exclaimed Doctor Cathaway as the girls jumped into the roadster. 1 Doctor Cathaway!--Meet my churn, Miss Josephine Walker. Joe just said she wished some good looking man would rescue us from starvation. That's my occupation-to starve people a.nd keep them from starving. Then I fill tl1e qualification of being a good looking fellow, eh? They rode on in silence 'till they were rapidly nearing thc town when the Doctor suddenly broke the silence. Just been to fix up .a young cl1ap's broken leg. He thought he had broken his neck, but its nothing serious. I think he 's very eligible for one of you girls, especially Miss VValker. VVhat's his name and where does he live? t'Jo asked jokingly. t'Allen Patterson and he lives in Richmond. A college mate of mine. This broken leg will be a pest to him all rightf' By this time he had deposited the occupants at their des- tination. Ellen walked up the steps. She remembered that her aunt had told her a long time ago about her twin brother who lived in the VVest. t'Can this boy be my brother? I thought he lived in the VVest? VVhat can he be doing in Richmond? thought Ellen as she went in the house. Thanks for the lift, Doctor, Jo called back over her shoulder as she also went into the house. Tell l1i1n I'm sorry that he has a broken leg. Afllen had come East to go to college. His old aunt, feeling lonely during his absence, decided to move East to be near Allen. Vtlhen Allen finished his college work with high honors he wanted to remain East and work for a noted lawyer, Mr. Long, who lived in Richmond, and who had offered him a good position in his otiice. His aunt was willing to do anything to help Allen in his business. After working for Mr. Long for two years Allen decided he would rather be independent and work for himself. VVith the help of Mr. Long he had established himself in an office of his own and was doing Well. Allen, who was very much like Ellen in her ways, had blue eyes and brown hair that was just curly enough to be noticed. He was a modern, athletic boy, and was at captain of a foot ball team in college and his manners showed his careful bringing up. The old aunt had insisted that he remain with her because she had cared for him and had a motherly feeling for him. Aunt Lucy, Allen's aunt, had bought him a new grey high powered roadster when he started in business for himself. He and a friend of his, while at college, were starting out on a fine, warm day for a joy ride. The day was warm and sultry with no wind. They thought it was too hot to sit still so de- cided to take a spin. Ted Humphrey, a. tanned faced, bright eyed young chap, seated beside Allen, said to him, H Say t'A1 I bet tl1is old boat can 't do sixty Without tearin' the motor clean out of the frame. 'tOh, is that so, came from Allen. Just Watch my dustli... v g . The roadster shot along the smooth road. Thirty-forty -fifty, it hummed sixty-it roared with the cutout wide open. . How's that, Allen said between tightly shut teeth and eyes straight on the road. He didn't dare to look at Ted to see how he was taking the ride. Ted sat tense With clenched lists and chattering teeth. PheW! This old boat sure's got the Wallop. This is more than I can stand with my Weak heart. 1. . Allen with his-bright blue eyes sparkling with excitement said, I bet I could leave any old car, even some of those foreign makes, in the lurch to smell my smoke. VVhat's the matter Ted, scared A? Come on buck up that's no sport. They rode quite a distance in silence neither wanting to break the silence first. Ted looked at the sky and turned to Allen, t'We better be sailing for home. There's going to be an awful thunder storm. Look at those clouds over there. I've got a date for seven o'clock and We'll never make it now. Sure Mike! I don 't Want to get caught in a thunder storm. VVe'd never get the top up before it would begin to rain cats and dogs. VVe may have to do sixty to keep the date. lllhat do you say old top? I guess I can ride sixty if you can. Just then at deafening rumble of thunder cut the Words out of'Ted's mouth and Allen stepped on the accelerator-they sailed over the road. ' A bolt of lightning played across the sky in front of them. Crash! a big elm tree fell across the road in the path of the speeding car. The car was goin ' sixty miles an hour. VVhen Allen applied the brakes they icked, the roadster stopped, turned half way around and slid into the ditch with such force that both the occupants were thrown over the Windshield, Allen striking on the tree. i Ted jumped up and shook himself to see if he had any broken bones. Assuring himself that he had none he went in search of Allen. - I I 'tW'here are you, All Then he heard moans from the ditch on the other sidle of the tree. Allen wlas trying to get up but the pain was so intense that he fell back exhausted. HI guess I've got a broken neck, Ted. Say, if the ,old boat will run, you better take me to the Doctor's, and be quick about it. I Well, you sure are all banged up, but I guess your neck isn't broken or twisted. I can't take you to the Doctortstill 'I fix these two tires-so be patient old boy, Ted told Allen, busily getting out the tools. The tires fixed, Ted started for the city with Allen un- conscious in tl1e seat. After taking Allen to his room and making him as comfortable as he could, Ted telephoned for Doctor Cathoway. Is my neck broken, .Doc? inquired Allen. Hal Ha! No such good luck, Allen. Yon'll be good for another fifteen years when your leg heals up. I guess those balloon tires were the only things that kept you both from be- ing killed. Try and keep hi1n gay, Tedl. VVith this he left, promising to return the next day. The last day of school arrived and Ellen asked Jon to spend her vacation with her in Richville. Jo accepted and the next- day they were busy preparing for the trip. The next morning the two eager girls sent their trunks by the expressman and went down to the stores to do some shop- ping. There were two trains going to Richville, one in the morn- ing and one about noon. Because the girls wanted to shop and say good bye to some of the friends they had made While at school, they decided to take the afternoon train. At noon time they looked for an inviting restaurant and went in to eat their mid-da.y1Heal. VVhen they finished, they made their Way tothe station to wait for the train which soon came. ., At six-thirty the train pulled into the Richvillestation. Both girls alighted and began searching for some of the family. I'hope Aunt'Grace has sent some onefor us, Ellen said as her eyes took in the crowd around the train. I ' Hello! Mr. Bellamy. Here, Ellen! here's your uncle Tom with the big car, Jo called. How are my girls, tired and cross ? Uncle Tom inquired, placing himself at the wheel. They soon reached the Bellamy home which was only a short distance from the station. There's aunt Grace at tl1e door Jo , I'll help Uncle Tom put the car in the garage and then we will be in immed- i.ately. Jo had been a visitor at the Bellamys before and they were always pleased when Ellen brought her home. Jo was also more than pleased to come because she liked both Mr. and Mrs. Bellamy. I think it is just too dear for Ellen to ask me to spend my vacation here. No one knows how I like to come here. VVe are glad to have you come any time you like, and we enjoy your visits immensely, for we like your jolly ways, Mrs. Bellamy told Jo as they walked into tl1e house, arm in arm. VVhen the car was put up for the night Ellen and her uncle Tom came i11to tl1e house. It was all ready very late and the girls were tired. Aunt Grace, may Jo and I have a light lunch before we retire for the night? VVe are too tired to sit up very late, Ellen asked sinking into a big morris chair. . I have ordered a lunch and it is waiting for you two hungry girls, Aunt Grace replied. They seated themselves at the table and were eating when suddenly Ellen said to Jo, Joi don 't eat any more of that whipped' cream cake. You must know by this time that whipped cream cake is your one weakness ! Very well honey, I won't eat any more of it tonight. I don 't want to keep the whole housel1old awake. After all goodnights were said the two sleepy girls made their way to bed. In the morning Ellen was the first 0119 up. She allowed t'Jo to sleep late because she had 11ot slept very well. While Ellen was putting away her dresses she made a noise which awakened Jo. What was that? Have I been dreaming or was that you Ellen? t'Jo asked rubbing her eyes sleepily and sitting up in bed. Oh I just dropped a dlress hanger. How do you feel, Jo? You must have had terrible dreams. The way you took on last night was al scream. Did I keep you awake? I'm awfully sorry. Guess I did eat too much cake. I'm all right now, she exclaimed jump- ing out of bed. That morning a letter arrived for Ellen inviting her and Jo to a Week-end party at Carol Manchester's home i11 Rich- mond. Both girls were eager to go and by noon they were ready for the trip to Richmond and the jolly party awaiting them. Ellen, before they started for the train, mentioned to l1er aunt Grace the meeting of Doctor Cathaway on the road. You don't suppose he's my brother do you, aunt Grace? Ellen inquired. I don't know dear. You will have to hurry for the train now. I hope you find that he is your brother. The train brought the girls to Carol's home town rather tired and hungry. They were hurried home and refreshed themselves to en- joy the first evening of the party. On Friday night there was to be a grand dance. All the guests looked forward to this night with eager expectation. May I have this dance, Miss Patterson? asked a very fine looking young man who had been introduced to Ellen as Mr. Patterson. They sailed across the shiny Hoor in perfect time with the music. Let's go out by the fountain, it's so warm dancing and I'm a little tired, Ellen pleaded. t'Doesn't it seem queer that your name is so much like mine. Ellen began when they had seated themselves o11 a bench near the fountain. 't Yes, it is strange but things often happen like this which are only coincidents you know, Allen returned absently. Do you know Doctor t'athaway? Ellen quiried again. I certainly do! He was 1ny roommate at college. VVl1y, do you- -know him I? Allen was g'etting rather excited by this question. Yes very well. My friend and! I were walking one day and he gave us a ride back to town. He sopke of having fixed a broken leg for a. young chap, Allen Patterson, by name, I think. Well by jove! Can you beat that. I happen to be that Allen Patterson and it was my leg that was broken. Are you sure that you're not my brother? Ellen asked full of excitement. Your brother? I didn 't know that I l1ad a sister. VVhy do you ask? Ellen told her story and how she had happened to ask about her childhood. I am going to send a telegram to Aunt Lucy and ask her if I have a sister. If you prove to be my sister, Ellen, all the better. Let's have another dance, what do you say? They started for the hall but Ellen was claimed by Doctor Cathaway who was also a guest. USO this is your game is it, H Doc? So long, Jo and I will hop this 0116. Eh Jo?l' Seems as if we would, came from t'Jo as tl1ey danced away. It makes me so happy to think that Ailen is my brother wl1ich I think he surely must be, Ellen told the Doctor. IVhat! Allen your brother? Are you crazy? No just happy. Seems as though he does look enough like you to be your twin brother since you say that he is. The party came to an end, and tl1e guests departed. Jo happier than when she arrived and Ellen thrilled' over her brother, for such he proved to be. The next week after the party and after Ellen told her aunt Grace about Allen she invited him and Doctor Cathaway for the week end. VVith Allen came news of a large sum of money which had been left to each of the Patterson children, unknown till Allen had looked up past histories. N ow 'tDoc, l1ere's your chance to marry some money as I have always said you Would, Allen reported to-'Doctor Cathaway one eveni11g as they were walking about the grounds, Jo , Allen, Doctor Catliaway and Ellen. A N ever you mind what I marry whether it's your sister or money, Doc replied. Come on Jon, I see tl1e 1I10011,S coming up. Shall we watch it I? Allen said taking 'fJo around to Where they could watch the moon as it slowly ascended flooding the ground with its mellow light. s G. BROIVN '26. EDITORIALS S is f'X.l': ,,, N i! Eli ' x , fp.

The majority of people consider athletic com- petition as something to pass away time or as something to make a person strong: The main object of athletics is the C0- ordination of mind and body. The second object is to teach people the idea cf courage, sportsmanship and fair play. Football is perhaps the greatest athletic game in the pres ent day schools and colleges. Vlie cannot consider Big League baseball as upholding the purposes of athletics as their main purpose is to give the audience excitement and re- ceive money in 1'eturn. Imagine an athletic game in which the players did not use their brains but depended entirely upon their physical being. Un the other hand imagine the players o11ly using their brains and not their bodies. The eltect of bodily coordination is not seen only in athletics but in every phase of life. The quick thinking developed by athletic participation is also of great use in cyery day life. Athletics also afford recreation at the same time with mental and physical benelit. Perhaps people will say that athletics divert the players mind from his studies. However this is false. Candidates for most athletic teams must have tl1eir class marks at a passing average. This tends to make the players work harder in order that they might try for the teams. It has been proved by comparison that athletes are usually the best students. This must be true or schools and colleges would not foster athletics. A good student is a quick thinker, and the quickest thinkers are usually the best players. Athletics should tend to make a person a good loser as well as a fair winner. Players should not crab when they receive an unfair decision. Athletics should neither take the players mind off his work nor occupy all of his time, but should balance the mental strain of his school work. The spirit of athletic participation should not be despised but cultivated. The best colleges in the United States foster athletics of all kinds. NYhy? Because they realize the benefit derived from athletic participation and the spirit of persever- ence Which is cultivated. G YMNASIUM Our high school course has seen the completion of a new gymnasium and library called the Dr, S. E. Churchill Memor- ial Library. Dr. Churchill, a life-long resident of Stamford, died in 1917. By his will 525,000 was left for the building of a library. The school district appropriated an additional 320,000 so that a gymnasium could be included in the building. Although uncompleted the gymnasium was first used on the night of February 5. The residents and pupils are very proud of the new building and outside teams which have played here before, must appreciate the improved accommo- dations. Since We have such a fine building let us keep it in such good condition that we can always be proud of it. SOHOOL NOTES SENIOR RECEPTION In the first part of the year, the Seniors welcomed the Freshmen to school with a reception. Several numbers Were rendered by members of high school. The Freshmen were then all decorated with green ribbon, not for purposes of ridicule, but that they might better be recognized by other guests. Af- ter this, ice cream and cake were served. Dancing was en- joyd for a short while after. The reception ended at a season- able hour because, as it was the Freshmen's iirst affair, We wished to make a good impression by sending them home at an early hour. SCHOOL ORCHESTRA Shortly after the opening of school Miss Koon held a try- out- for the school orchestra. Although the orchestra is small- er than in former years and two of its members are not yet in high school, it is a great success. During the year its Inem- bers have been very active and have played not only after basket ball games but in chapel and for the senior play, The Elopement of Ellen. The members of the orchestra are: Miss Koon, pianist and directress, Raymond Govern, violin and banjo, Oarl Dayton, violin, Robert Decker, banjo, llfilliam Govern, saxophone. PRIZE SPEAKING Six students from the high school department of Stain- ford' Seminary met before the faculty in a Prize Speaking Con- test on the afternoon of April third. These people were trained by Miss Helen Hubbard. The Alternative''-Patrick Henry ,,..,.,..............,,..,.... Kenneth Peck 'fThe Silent Captain -W. H. Curtis ....,.............

Carolyn Hickok The faculty acted as judges and voted that Hildred Mc- Ilwain and Raymond Govern should go to Delhi to represent Stamford Seminary at the Interscholastic Speaking Contest. These two students met at Delhi on April seventh. Both of these people won second prize there. THE SENIOR PLAY The Seniors, realizing that they did not have enough money in the class treasury to take them to NVashington, de-- cided to put on a play. After much controversy they decided on a play called, The Elopement of Ellen. They then en- gaged Miss Hubbard to direct the play. The following people were chosen for the cast: Mrs. Richard Ford' ,,...... ......... L eona Thompson Mr. Richard Ford ,.o..,o...., ..,..,... W 'illiam Govern Dorothy March ...........,.,. ........ E thel Stickles Max Ten Eyck .....,.,.... .,..,......,..,. D onald Richter J une Haverhill ....oo..... oo...,..... L lharlotte Corbin Robert Shepard ..,..,..,,... ,.....,.... H arry Morrow John Hume, Rector ....,,i....,,,,,.,................,. Kenneth Peck Bernice Clark and Ruth Hall did a lantern drill and Caro line Hickok a solo dance between the acts. lt seemed that they were fated for ill luck. lVhile prac tising for the play three of the players were taken sick, not at the same time however. Then, the night of the play, March 27, 1925, it rained and snowed so that they feared there would be only a small audience. However, much to their great surprise quite a large crowd braved the weather and came to the play. The play went off splendidly, aided by tl1e High School Or- chestra, and seemed to be very much enjoyed by the audience. The Seniors realized about one hundred dollars from the play and were so delighted that they decided to give tl1e play in lVindham. The date set to give the play at VVindham was April 8. There another disappointment awaited them. This time though, it was a dance that was being held in a town just a short distance away. They had a fairly good crowd, however, and realized about twenty-live dollars after all the expenses were paid. ToM THUMB XTEDDING Under the supervision of Miss Koon a Tom Thumb Wed- ding was given May 1, 1925, at the S. E. Churchill Memorial Gymnasium. The children from the first four grades took part in it. They were very tastefully dressed in adult style. The bride, Jean Pruden, was dressed in the customery white with orange blossoms. The groom, Albert Sitzer, Jr. was dressed in a dress suit. The guests, all relatives of the bride and groom, were named after some of the citizens of this town. Many of the old songs, such as t'VVhen You and I VVere Young Maggie, were sung by the guests, accompanied by Miss Koen, before the bride 'and groom arrived. All in all this unique replica of a. society wedding was a great success. A' 'PC . 4 . ,P ,:,, fav R 4 O -gill? 2 1 H f , I -2 X 1 ! A Age! , Pee'-' ,Er ,.

Practice started with about twenty candi- dates. Coach Duncan picked out the best of these and formed two teams, the regulars and the 'tscrubs or second team. The team made a good showing considering the short practice, and at one time Stamford Seminary had a good chance for the cup. However, the Roxbury quintet defeated us twice and thus placed us in second place. The following are the scores: S.S.

HER VVEDDING DAY What a darling pair, mused Mrs. Allen gently pulling back a heavy curtain from one of the side windows in the May- ham home. Yes, they are darling, answered Mrs. Mayham happily. A black haired chubby little girl and a brown haired little boy were playing together in the lawn swing. Carefree child- ish voices floated through the open windows to where the two mothers were talking'. Marjorie, said the little boy, I wish mother would let us play together always, don 't you, Marjorie? Yes and I wish when we get big that we can go down to the beach like my mamma and daddy do. Just listen to the darlings! I am sure they are a match our Virginian grandfathers would have loved to see. For nie, I am sure I consider no one else in Poughkeepsie fine enough for Marjorie. It is true, agreed Mrs. Mayham, although there are many line people f culture here who have charming children. I feel that Jack iould marry only his equal financially and socially. Marjorie and Jack are both from old Virginia families. I'll call Sarah to bring our tea. Jack Mayham grew tall and handsome. His one weakness was his fondness for blonde haired girls. Perhaps this was because he had always been urged to go with black haired Mar- jorie. When asked why he didn 't care for Marjorie, he would say it was because her hair was black. Because he was continually urged to go with Marjorie he was not sorry to say goodby to Poughkeepsie, Mother and Marjorie when he started for Yale College. Marjorie attended Vassar College. Wliile there she met Peggy Ray. Peggy lived in Rhinebeck and came from a. wealthy Puritan family. Peggy stayed with Marjorie much of the time during college days. In summer Marjorie went to Rhinebeck and a very strong friendship grew between them. After he was graduated from Yale, Jack returned to Poughkeepsie accompanied by l1is friend Bill. VVilliam VVet- more and J ack were fellow graduates. VVGt1I1OI'6 came from a small town in Vermont and had worked his way through col- lege. He received a line position in Poughkeepsie. Jack and Marjorie found that separation during their col- lege days did much to renew their childhood friendship. In the early part of the summer Mr. Allen bought a sum- mer home at Ffairland in the Catskills. Marjorie gave a week end party and Jack thought that at last he would have an op- portunity to meet Peggy Ray. Marjorie often talked of her little blonde friend, but Jack had not yet been given the pleas- ure of seeing her. Peggy had a serious operation for the re- moval of her tonsils and because of loss of blood was unable to leave the hospital for two weeks. Jack said that he might have known something would detain her. After the party Jack persuaded his mother to give a party at Pallac. He found Marjorie to be a much better sport than he had supposed, and so by parties, dances and auto tours the summer fled happily. Mrs. Allen and Mrs. Mayham saw the advancement of their cause and gave every opportunity to advancement. They planned to spend the winter in Florida and later a month in Havana.. . Under a smiling southern moon one evening Jack placed that fatal little platinum ring 011 Marjorie's linger and be- lieved himself the happiest man in the world. Marjorie was happy too, but their happiness could hardly exceed that of two fond mothers next day when Marjorie proudly flaunted her diamond for their inspection. J ack admitted that blonde hair had lost all its attractiveness to him. I Not long after they returned to Poughkeepsie. Mrs. Allen gave a large party announcing the engagement of her daugh- ter, Marjorie Ellen, to John Mayham, Jr. Marjorie's marriage was to take place at Fairland. Her wedding day was to be the seventh of June. Peggy was to come on tl1e fourth and Bill, who had met her at Marjorie's, was to meet the train. She was coming on the seven thirty. Marjorie glanced at her wateh tl1e11 said, Jack, it's seven o'eloek now and Bill hasn't returned. What made hi1n go hunting just when we wanted him to go after Peggy? 4 Now don't fret little girl, you k11ow Bill is bound to get a deer for our feast tomorrow. If he doesn't come in fifteen minutes I'll go after Peggy myself. 'Wife had better start, for there is no ehanee of Bill 's com- ing in time. If Peggy only didn't insist that I meet her 111yself or send a friend, I might, as she says, send a mere servant. Now Marjorie dear, you know you are tired and need all your pep for tomorrow. The roads are beastly rough and I've heard enough about Peg to lind her on Fifth Avenue. As Jack drove past the veranda Marjorie waved a small hand and called merrily, Remember she's a blonde. How that one little word buzzed in .Iaek's ear. At last he was to see Peg. Just as he arrived at the station the train pulled in. Among the few passengers who alighted it was easy to distinguish the charming Peggy Her blonde eurls were neatly pinned under a small blue turban. Her eyes when J aek iirst saw her were shaded with long blaek lashes. Dressed in a light blue suit her smart tan oxfords added to her dainti- ness. Jaek's heart beat faster. All his former weakness for blonde haired girls broke forth in 2ld01'iltl0l1 of this wonderful creature. You are Miss Ray? Jack asked smilingly. VVith her big blue eyes, blue as the sky, smiling up at him she replied, Yes, I am Peggy Ray and you? I am Jack Mayham, he answered. Promising to send a man for her baggage he led the way to tl1e ear. I As they walked down tl1e platform Jack noticed how tiny she was, she hardly came to his shoulder. Starting tl1e ear he said I have always desired to meet you but chance has always plucked you away just in time. At last tl1e pleasure is mine. J ack laughed turning the ear towards Vllhitehall. I know very well this is not the way to Marjorie's home, interposed Peggy, 'fIs there a detour? Yes, lied Jaek, A detour. Marie, l1ave you seen anything of Mr. VVetmore? I can't see why Jack does11't come back. Oh if I had only gone along. Marjorie was nervous and rambled on without waiting for Marie to reply. When she stopped for breath Marie said, N ow Miss Mar- jorie, don't you worry. I heard Mr. Mayham say the roads were awful. Something might easily happen to the car. I believe I hear Mr. XVetmore now. Oh Bill you're a nice 0118, why didn't you come and go to the station for Peggy. Jack had? to go and hasn't returned yet. I don't know what can be the matter. You could have saved me all this suspense. Bill expecting great praise for bringing home at fat buck was not a little daunted by Marjorie's reproof. I declare, groaned innocent Bill I never thought a last thing about meeting that train. I beg your forgiveness and if I am not mistaken this is Jack's runabout coming now. Marjorie all affection for her chum Peggy forgot the re- proof she was planning to give and only said kissing 11er, HI am so glad you have 001119 at last. I never dreamed your Jack was such a dear,'l Peggy cooed, He didn 't seem to mind a bit when the same tire blew out twice. Stirling the pain in her heart, Marjorie said, 'AI wondered what kept you so longf' IVithout more words she led the way to the dining room. IVhen Marjorie awoke on her wedding day she slipped into dressing gown and slippers and hurried to Peggy's room. She opened the door and discovered that Peggy was not there. Just as she closed the door she noticed? a note partly hidden on the dressing table. The picture of that note remained in her mind as she hurriedly dressed and went down stairs. As she entered the den Bill sprang up and said, Good morning! did you send Jack to the village for something?,' No Bill, I didn't, why do you ask? t'His car is gone from the garage. Then startled at the look on her white face he added, How is Miss Peggy this morning. 'fBill, I haven't seen Peggy, gasped Marjorie, She isn't in 11er room. VVait! Hurrying up stairs she snatched the note from Peggy's dressing table and read: - 11 P. M. Dear Ma rgy : I know this is wicked. NVicked that you should wake up on your wedding day and find-only a note begging forgive- ness. Peggy. Ten years later Miss Marjorie Allen sat in the reading room of her stately home reading the lists of the killed and wounded in the battle of the Marne. Among the Wounded she found, Colonel John Mayham taken to St. James, Paris. The world knows Marjorie Allen as a proud, wealthy maiden lady. She is known for l1er good works and the aid she gives to the needy. Again she is sitting by the tire. Ten more years have passed. Marjorie Allen is the same. It is twilight and a. bright fire is burning in the fireplace of the den. Save for the glow of the iire there is no light. James announces that a gentleman who refuses to give his name is in the reception hall. Mar- jorie is curious. She asks that he be brought to the room. He halted in the doorway, a tall bent figure, his dark hair mixed with gray. One sleeve hangs limp and empty at his side. A Wan smile lit his features showing the marks of time. Many years had passed since these two had met. His face was creased and wrinkled. Time and war had aged a.nd bent him. He limped into the room. She rose to meet him, tall proud, her dark hair shining in the lireliglit. She was as beautiful as the day he left, her wedding day. Marjorie, he whispered Can you welcome and forgive an old cripple like me I? Oh Jack, she replied, I forgave you long ago and-oh tell me Where is my darling Peggy? Shall we sit down, he said and assisting l1er to the divan continued, 4'VVe Went to France and lived happily al- though Peg often pined for you. Three months ago she died and I left her over there to Come back to the only-the only friend I have left on earth-to you. Often a tall, proud, straight maiden lady may be seen with an old man grey and bent Walking slowly through the park or strolling through his garden. One feels that the far away look in their eyes betray their thoughts of a green mound in France. H.
