Only a few days after entering high school we summoned enough courage to have a class meeting. VVe elected Kenneth Doonan, presi- dent, Leona Thompson, Vice president, and VVilliam Govern, secretary and treasurer. Soon after we had been welcomed to the school by the seniors we held a hot dog roast at Utsayantha Lake with Miss Howe as chaperone. During our Freshman year we published a t'Reveille. This was a great success and we received much praise for it. At the close of school the sophomores invited us to accom- pany them on their picnic at Cooperstown Lake chaperoned by the Misses Helen and Elizabeth Bruce. The next year was uneventful. At the beginning of school, Harry Morrow was elected president, Leona Thompson, vice president, and Caroline Hickok, secretary and treasurer. For some reason we had no hot dog roast at first but at the end of the year we enjoyed a picnic at the Devilts Kitchen. Miss Cowles and Miss Mahoney were our chaperones. As Juniors we elected Leona Thompson, presidentg James Moore, vice president, and Gladys Brown, secretary and treas- urer. In January seven of our members joined the Senior class. Among them was Leona. VVe elected Kenneth Doonan president for the rest of the year. When the Seniors came back from Washington we decided it was time to start to raise money for our trip. We bought stationery with the school emblem and held a dance in the Gymnasium. Our Junior Prom was held on May twenty-ninth at the Gymnasium. This was an invitation dance and was a great success. At the close of our Junior year we had around eighty dol- lars to start our NVashington fund. The annual picnic was again held at the llevil's Kitchen Yvltll Miss Mahoney and Miss Cowles as chaperones. A l 'il At last we reached. the stage of the important and dignified senior. Kenneth Doonan was again chosen to guide us, as president in our last year. May Willis was chosen vice pres-V ident and Natalie Robbe, secretary and treasurer. At the beginning of school we welcomed the new members and then settled down. lVe had to raise a great deal of money before We could go to Wasliingtoii. Our first money earning event was a Hallowe'en social. This was a great success and from it we realized about a hmm- flred dollars. Soon after, we bought candy to sell and profit by, llie also sold subscriptions for the Curtis Publishing Company, receiving the commission which heretofore had gone to the ath- letic association. VVe held several basketball games and dances, also three bake sales which added to our fund. The first of March Miss Mahoney with other members of the faculty and some townspeople offered to give a play for our benefit. It was called The Suicide Specialist. The play was held at the Gymnasium and was a great success. VVe great- ly appreciated their help since it really made our trip possible. Since we still lacked funds, May VVillis and Miss Mallory held a musical. Shortly after, we gave a movie, thus complet- ing our Wasliiiigtori fund. Cn the second of April the class left Stamford for WVash- ington in Miss Utsayanfl1a chaperoned by Miss Laura Becker. The trip was greatly enjoyed by all the class who were able to go. I am sure that we all felt our labor had not been in vain. Since Easter vacation we have been busy With the Camera. Gladys Brown was elected Editor-in-Chief, Harriet Buck, sistant editor-in-chief and the rest of the class associate editors. Having failed to choose our motto and class colors before, we chose them in our Senior year as follows: Class colors-Red and white. Class flower-Red rose. Class Motto-Apres le Combat la Couronne. fAfter the Uonibat the Crownj. ARTHUR TARBOX BUSH IKART77 Stamford, New York By studious means he wins his way. Art has been with us each year except his Freshman year. Of course there was something wrong with the examina- tions then for t'Art knew his subject matter to a HQ. We regret that Art', has never taken part in athletics for we know he would have had a successful career. To pass the time away he has written a prize essay. Art', likes the opposite sex well enough but somehow he hasn't the nerve to prove it. ADA BELLE MABEY 'iMABEY,, South Gilboa, New York Out of all the S. S. girls Ada has the prettiest curls. Ada has spent her four years of high school in Stamford although her interest for a long time was divided between Stam- ford and Roxbury. Now, however, it is centered wholly in Stamford. We all know Ada by her curls and prophesy a brilliant future for her at Hollywood with Mary Pickfard as her understudy. AURILLA HASTINGS R1LLY South J eiferson, New York Aurilla's days with us have been few. She joined us last fall as a Senior. In January she went on into the Training Class room, but she has been with tus in outside activities. When we needed help in raising money for the Washington trip sl1e lent a helping hand. A.urilla's chief hobby is driving a Ford. On sunny days we may laugh at Fords but on rainy days we've often been very thankful to ride to gym class in Aurilla's Lizzie. CLETA OARRINGTON BAIRD I I 7 7 Stamford, New York A friendly smile for everyone. Assistant Editor-in-Chief of Reveille 1923. Athletic Association 1923, Basket Ball '25, '26, Assistant Advertising Manager Camera 1926. Here's our star center who helped to raise the purple and the white above the rest in the girls' basketball season. One of the best backers of the class, Olete has always put her hand to tl1e wheel, in fact both hands! and helped us on our way rejoicing. She plans to go to Oneonta Normal next year to continue her education. DOROTHEA BARTIIOLOMEW DOROTHEA,, Grand Gorge, New York Wl1er1 she smiles Oh! what dimples! Dorothea came to us in her Senior year from Roxbury High School. She has not taken any part in athletics, but she has helped our class in many ways. Last January she decided to e11ter training class and try her luck. ,She is still with us, though, in class activities. She is especially noted for her wit. She is always interested in new styles of haircuts. Some times a far away dreamy look comes over her face and We Wou- der if sl1e's thinking of a boy Bob. ELIZABETH EDNA EFFNER BETTY Stamford, New York That she takes things easy we'll all agree, But just before exams she's as studious as can be, Marks, not men are now her aim. Although Betty has not taken part in athletics she has been very active in other activities. Betty is usually very quiet but furnished much amusement on the Vilashington trip especially the day we visited the avia- tion fields. ' She has not yet decided where she will go next year but her mind at present is wandering toward Albany. VVe are sure she'll make a speedy stenographer! FAITH FRAZEE ' ' FAITHIE Stamford, New York Faith joined our class this year. She has not taken part in the athletics nor in many of the school activities as she is a home lover and has spent many hours traveling between Stam- ford Seminary and her home at South Jefferson. However, she has worked loyally for our class this year and we have been the happier for her ready smile and cheery disposition. FLOYD RICHTMEYER CUYLE HCUYLEH Gilboa, New 'York The rule of his life is to make business a pleasure and pleasure his business. Basket Ball '25, '26, Captain Basket Ball '26, Baseball '25, '26, Athletic Council '26, Track team '23. T, VV. O. S, '22, '23, Exchange Editor Reveille '23, Sporting Editor Camera '26, Although Floyd has taken an active part in athletics, his attitude toward the rest of the Seniors is almost patronizing. They probably do seem rather young to one who has associated so much with former graduates. Cuyle is seen most near or in the drug store. He is much interested in pharmacy and possibly will begin studying along that line next year. GEORGE LEWIS GIDGE ' ' Stamford, New York It is the mind that makes the body rich. Baseball '24, '25, '26, Basket Ball '24, '25, Student Ooun- cil '25, '26, Gidge joined our class in his Senior year. He is one of our all around heroes. He is a baseball star, in fact, captain of the baseball team this year and a basket ball star, but most of all he is a star of wonder. Next year he will continue his studies in some college where we know he will make a success. GEORGE HARLAN LEWIS HARLAN South Gilboa, New York The more the wonder grew That one small head could hold all l1e knew. Harlan came here from Roxbury just last Easter. We have all ready found out that he is not so dumb, in the sense of muteness. In fact he can talk very well as the teachers will assure you. He certainly is generous in offering bits from his store of knowledge during the recitations of some body else. But at that he knows his lessons Zllld is a pretty decent pest to have around, so we have welcomed him as a new member of our Senior Class. GLADYS BROWN HBROWNIEU Stamford, New York Secretary and treasurer '25 , Basket Ball '24, '25, Editor- in-Chief Camera '26, Brownie joined us the last half of our Ereshman year. She promptly cut herself a piece of cake and made herself at home. We consider Gladys one of our basket ball stars and she's a veritable shooting star when she starts shooting the ball into the basket. She has always taken an active part in class activities and has been game for anything. HELEN ELIZABETH DENT HHELENH Stamford, New York Her ready speech poured forth continually. ll'e are all sure of the fact that Helen has been with us-- very much so-all four years. Although Helen has talked and fooled away part of her time, she has always kept up with the class. Helen has tried to aid the Seniors with the best of her abil- ity this year. While on the Washington trip, the class discov-A ered her intense liking for uniformed men. Next year Helen dons the blue chambray and white cap of a nurse to administer to the wants of suffering humanity. HARRIET MARIETTA BUCK HARRY Stamford, New York Harriet is one of our most studious classmates. She seems to have plunged into the sea of work, making straight for the shore, success. Silently but steadily we think she means to at- tain it. As a. result of her industry she has earned the honor of being one of our speakers this year. VVe regret that Harriet was not able to enjoy with us our Vllashington trip during Easter vacation. Especially would she have been interested in viewing the remarkable lions which were to be seen in the zoo. JAMES EDVVARD MOORE ll JIM!! Grand Gorge, New York Baseball '25, '26, Basket ball '25, '26, Athletic Council '26. J im is such a good sport that he has always been a fav- orite not only in his own class but with all the student body and the faculty. As a classic dancer 'fJim cannot be beaten. Jim is always full of fun and was the life of the party on the trip to VVashington. KATHLEEN JENNIE BEGGS ' ' KATE,, South Gilboa, New York t'Kate always loved to play-now it's work all day. Kathleen was a member of our freshman class of '23. She hails from the wilds of South Gilboa. She has never taken part in the activities of the school very much because of having to go back and forth from home. So at first we thought her rather quiet but now we know better. She is full of enthusiasm about school but oh, you should hear l1er rave about a Ho1iday! MAY ELIZABETH VVILLIS 6 I 7 7 Stamford, New York She is always willing to sing or play Thus to help us along our way. Mae is our class song bird and never warbles so sweetly as when singing Bonnie Dooneinl. She came to us in our Senior year and although she took no part in athletics she was always there to give Ken a rousing cheer. However, sl1e took an ac- tive part in the entertainments of class and school. At first May was undecided about going to Washington with us but was finally persuaded to go by one whose influence is very great. Her presence added greatly to our enjoyment. NATALIE SCHERMERHORN ROBBE I I 7 7 Stamford, New York Hang sorrow, let's be merry. Sec. and treas. Senior Class. Joke editor Camera '26, Nat needs no introduction, she speaks for herself and Very decidedly at that, when it is a matter of politics, the deter- mined little democrat! VVe expect her to argue gaily on her Way until she winds up as our first woman president, when she Will charm all Wzisliingtoii with her Winning smile and cheery disposition. Pretty small to carry the affairs of state upon her shoulders? Yes, but she has brains, for isn't she finishing high school in three years?

Altho Ray has been in High School only three years, by hard study he has risen to the ranks of a Senior this year. Ray has not only been a credit to the school as a stu- dent but has contributed a great deal to all activities. He has been a stellar player on the baseball team all three years. Dur- ing his Sophomore year Ray won the first prize in the speaking contest. Ray expects to continue his education next year at St. Josephs College near Montreal, Canada. We trust Ray will succeed there. . RUTH MARION BUCK iiRUTHIE,, Stamford, New York Learning's no labor, call it what you will. Business Manager Camera '26, Salutatorian. Ruth is the youngest of our Seniors and is one of the best students in the class. She put up quite a race to be valedietor- ian but lost by less than one per cent. She is one of the few in the class who has spent her entire four years here. Ruth is very sensitive to shades of red. She likes auburn hair very niuch but has an intense dislike for Scarlet Fever. She expects to devote, not her life but, the next few years to tl1e instruction of the young. ROBERT KENNETH DOONAN IKKENJI Kortright, New York President '23, '25, '26, basket ball '25, '26, First prize school contest '26, second prize interscholastic contest '26g member I. O. R. A. Ken came from the small town of Kortright, and was ininiediately chosen our class President. He not only piloted us safely through our Freshman year, but also safely through our Junior and Senior years. Ken is especially fond of feminine society and seems to have no trouble in getting lots of it. He has taken part in our prize speaking contests for four years. This year he proved his ability by winning first prize here and second prize at Delhi. Ken is also a good basket ball player. Sonie of this credit must go to a certain fair fan. We understand that Ken is going to college. We know that he will prove an l1o11or to S. S. SAUL HARRIS ' ' SILL ' ' Stamford, New York Time is too short to be spent in useless talking. Baseball '24, '25, '26. Basket Ball '24, '25, '26, Saul shuffled in with us in 1923, and quietly took his seat among the rest in the front of the chapel. He isn't ambit- ious but always manages to pull thru in the finals. Saul has a very strong personality which makes him liked by every one. He is shy and exceedingly quiet, but on the ath- letic field his quietness is in the background. He is always out for blood in these games, and for this reason many games have fallen to S. S. Saul, next year, will take up his studies at Columbia where we all know he will continue in his good scholastic and athletic standings. WILLIAM MELROSE HARPER I K ! West Harpersfield, New York Basket ball '26, member T. O. R. A. Melrose started his high school career at Stamford Semin- ary as a Freshman. He remained quite bashful and petit throughout his first year. His second and third years of high school were spent at Davenport. At the beginning of this year we had Harp with us again. When the call for basket ball men was given Harp was among the first to respond. He played a good game the entire season by exhibiting his skill on making baskets. Harp was with us on our Washington trip and did his part to make the trip a happy event in our years of high school. He was singing Bye Bye My Caroline when we left for Washington and as we were nearing home he started. singing, I'll Be With You. 1 .

PROPHECY OF1926 The clock down-stairs struck twelve slow strokes. The next moment I heard a tapping on my window. I pulled the blankets over my head and tried to drown the sound, but it con- tinued with increased noise and force until the window flew open. I pulled myself together enough to unearth my head and Iook around. An old witch stepped stiffly into the room. She was dressed all in grey and ca1'ried a frothing kettle, 'tThe Present was blazed. in brilliant letters across the top of the kettle. After pausing a. moment near tl1e window she clattered stiffly toward my bed. My limbs seemed frozen in place for I could neither crawl from my bed or raise my arms to cover my head with blankets. There I sat grasping blankets in both hands while she halted before my bed and began speaking. She spoke slowly in a dry lifeless Voice the following words: I am the Past. At Present in this kettle I hold the froth of the Future. As she finished talking she gave the froth in the kettle a vigorous stir with the handle of my hair brush. As I stared fixedly at it a picture was formed in the midst of the froth. I seemed to be looking from tl1e back of a large class room, before me at the front of the room a professor was giv- ing a lecture on History. Despite the addition of a pair of scholarly looking glasses I readily recognized our class presi- dent, Kenneth Doonan. Tl1e scene shifted and I beheld a large white house which I recognized as the Governor's Mansion at Albany. Natalie 1 Robbe?J walked down the steps with a very conventional look- ing man. They entered a large car waiting at the curb and slowly drove away. At this point the froth darkened and I seemed to be e11ter- ing a dark cave. Suddenly it began to grow lighter again and at last I saw a large room. - At one side was a dazzling throne. A Lyon wearing a jeweled crown was sitting 011 the throne. Harriet fBuck?j was seated beside him pouring tea for the King of the Beasts. The witch gave another stir to the froth and it all turned a mellow gold. The picture formed showed a music room done in gold. A gold shaded lamp was lighted near the grand piano where May Willistl sat practicing an Opera for the following evening. In an adjoining room her husband sat at his desk busily preparing a History Lecture. The next scene was from Switzerland. High up in the Alps two women were hiking. Dorothea Bartholomew and her illlllil seemed to be enjoying the mountain air immensely. Dorothea looked much stronger than when I last saw her. They rounded a large rock and suddenly came out on the most beautiful pla- teau. Before and above them were the snow capped mountains and all around them the beautiful rivers, rocks and valleys. over them the clear, blue sky. The froth turned a deep green, I saw mile after mile of ocean waves and cutting through them an ocean liner bound for Europe. My attention was immediately attracted to a tall, young man standing near the rail. Dark, good looking and well dressed he was giving his entire attention to the person at his side. As they turned to glance out over the water I looked in- 1 to the smiling eyes of Cleta CBaird?J She had changed very little and looked exceedingly happy. As tl1e ship slid by many people were strolling on the deck. Raymond Govern and his brother walked. slowly, stopping of- ten to watch tl1e fast disappearing shore or the miles of ocean ahead. The scene sl1ifted, the sun poured down on an open theatre where thousands of people were watching a. bull tight. Among tl1e spectators were Harlan Lewis and Ada fMabey?J Their attentions seemed somewhat divided. The bull was victorious and Arthur Bush was quite seriously injured. An announcer proclaimed tl1e fact that this was tl1e great fighter's first down- fall. A large school building arose in tl1e froth. Children were sliding down the walk when two troopers drove up and stopped. As they bowed at the door of the empty class room one's hair was notably red while the other was black. Ruth Buck and her assistant were arranging books for tl1e night. The black haired fellow iinmediately hurried the assistant to tl1e waiting car. The taller trooper waited patiently for Ruth to finish up then they too entered the car and drove away. They drove off into the dimness of tl1e horizon and disappeared in the froth. At this point tl1e witch emptied the contents of a paper envelope into the kettle. A Packard roadster slowly d1'ove up before a. large oflice building and stopped. Elizabeth fEffner?l took a basket of lunch from the back and entered an elevator. She entered a lawyer's olfice on the third floor and passed through the door marked private. A young man was sitting at the desk and as Betty entered he arose his black eyes snap- ping and a very boyish grin lit up his handsome face and show-- ed two rows of pearly teeth. Betty cleared his desk and spread the lunch upon it. They sat down companionably and began eating. Until the very last two heads showed very close to- gether, one blonde haired, the other black and wavy. The froth next held a picture from the South. A large truck drove up to a storehouse and loaded with tobacco and bales of cotto11. The owner came in from the fields where he had been examining the cotton and watching the pickers. Al- though he had grown quite stout I soon recognized Melrose Harper. Are you surprised to see him growing cotton down South? No, for you know he always loved the South, that he was always dreaming of Carolini Next I saw Aurilla Hastings teaching school at VVashing- ton, D. C. After school she went to the race track and with a group of women drivers received racing instructions. The next day there was a, race. Only Ford touring cars over five years old were eligible to run in this race. The first prize Was a new Ford and was won by-Aurilla! I saw a drug store and over the d.oor the sign 'tlaewis and Cuyle Pharmacists. Drug and toilet articles, soft drinks and ice cream were advertised on the windows. Floyd was Hirting over the counter with a. blonde customer while in a ba.ck room George puzzled his head over Income Tax Exemptions. Next another sign attracted my attention. Charleston in Six Lessons. Kathleen Beggs and an assistant were teacliing some stunning fellows tl1e art of dancing. They did not seem to be progressing very much but all the same to be enjoying themselves immensely. I began to wonder what was going to happen to James Moore when I saw a large farm. The good looking buildings were newly painted and on the barn was Meadow Brook Farm, James Moore, 1930. , A doctor's office appeared. The Doc himself was in- terviewing a patient. Tall and muscular, he was a type of man not usually interested in medical Work. He seemed very re- lieved when the patient left and removed his white coat showing a dress suit. He drew from his desk aiine photograph of Gladys Brown, examined it moment then replaced it. He ar- ranged the carnation in his buttonhole, smoothed his wavy, light hair and left hurriedly.-The office changed to a church. Here again the doctor appeared, walking down the aisle to the strains of Lohengrin's VVedding March and on his arm the lovely Gladys Brown, radiant, blushing, a coronet of lace and orange blossoms veiling her dusky hair. I next saw graduating exercises at Columbia University. A prominent man delivered an address, honorary degrees were conferred and diplomas were given to nine hundred graduates. Among those attired in caps and gowns was Saul Harris. He looked quite frightened and a little surprised as if he wondered how he had completed his course in four short years. The froth died down but revived as the witch stirred it again. Many small children were playing in front of the Or- phan Asylum at South J efferson. A straight maiden lady dressed in rustling black taffeta with stiff white collar and cuffs moved among them, kissing a cut hand or wiping away some little one's tears caused by a skinned knee or banged elbow. Faith Frazee seemed quite content with her work. I also saw a pleasant picture of myself among the gradu- ates at Syracuse University. The froth died down and the old witch placed a cover over the kettle and slowly left as she had COII10. COMMENCEMENT PROGRAM Sunday, June 20-Baccalaureate Sermon.

As the various classes flocked into the chapel and tool: their seats, there appeared in the front of the room, a tinge of greenness which was an indication of Spring, although it was early fall. After a close observation we found this phenomena not due to a lingering Spring, but rather to the reflection of tl1e students in the front rows. These, we decided, were the Freshmen of Stamford Seminary. After along intermission a meeting was called and the presidency was bestowed upon Carl Dayton with George Har- ris as Vice President. During the winter Carl moved away and the presidential honor fell to George Harris. The Freshies reeeived a bitter disappointment when the Sophomores took the gold from them in a School Song Cam- paign. They thought they would fill their treasury with money made by singing. However, they did not know that the Soph omores possessed talent. We must, however, give the Freshmen the credit due them for they l1ave tried to Work and so far as we Seniors are con cerned they have been greatly appreciated for they h ive freely contributed their jokes to our Camera.

A GAME IN LIFE Morris Fisher was selling peanuts in the large stadium where there was to be a race that afternoon. IN'ith monoton- ous regularity he called his wares, peanuts, live a bag. He never permitted excitement to interfere with business. As he passed along someone tossed a half-dollar from one of the lower boxes. He threw back a bag of hot roasted pea- nuts and started sorting out the change from a iistful of coin which he took from his pocket. His customer checked him with a gesture, and beckoned. him to come nearer. Morris entered the box. Never mind tl1e changef' said his patron. Will you show me the way to the Howard locker-room? I want to see Ralph Anthony. Morris paused a minute to size up the man who made the request. He wore stylish sport clothes, with a diamond on his finger and another in his tie. The hair which showed beneath his cap was gray. His face had a. a. dissipated look. The deep wrinkles and dark circles around the eyes indicated that he was not altogether a good man. I'1l take you to the club-house,,' said. Morris, but I don't know whether I can get you in or not. The hundred-yard dash is due to start in twenty minutes. The gentleman rose and Morris led him out of the stadium and in the direction of the club-house. 'Do you know this fellow Anthony? asked the man. Yes, replied Morris, we come from the same town. The stranger seemed busy with his thoughts for a few moments as they picked their way through the hurrying groups of people, but as they approached the club-house, he said what was 011 his mind, Perhaps, as you know Mr. Anthony you would be willing to introduce me. He handed the peanut seller a card. The bold engraving showed the name Harry Dart. Witll the card was a five dol- lar bill. Morris looked up inquiringly. It's all right my boy, said Mr. Dart. I appreciate your guiding me over here. It's awkward getting about in a strange place, especially in such a crowd. Morris preceded Mr. Dart boldly up the steps of the club- house. A man to see Anthony, he said to the doorman, who passed tl1e two with a nod. Anthony was just pulling on his spiked shoe when the two came into the room. HHello, Morris, he said, sticking out his llillld in a friend- ly way, haven't seen you in a long time. How have you been?'l Oh so-so responded Morris, glancing back, for his com- panion. Mr. Dart was looking about, so Morris seized tl1e op- portunity for a moment's chat. You've got to win today, Ralph. I'm having a wretclied time with a lame muscle in my leg. Sometimes it catches and nearly throws me, so don 't ex- pect too much of me, replied Anthony. Before they could say more the stranger approached them. Meet Mr. Dart said Morris to Anthony. Perhaps this is a rather peculiar time to talk about busi- ness 1natters, said Dart, but I have a proposition to put be- fore you. I have learned that you are trained to some extent in engineering. VVe are now in need of men and if yo11 would like to have a position we could offer you five thousand the first year, an unusual figure. Anthony drew on l1is other shoe and began lacing it thoughtfully. You don 't seem very enthusiastic about the proposi- tion, said Dart, watching him closely. It's a bit sudden-and I guess my mind is too much on the race to take it in responded Anthony. My mind is on the race, too, said Dart and perhaps af- ter the race I can make you even a better proposition. I have a nephew in the hundred and if he wins this race I'll be feeling niighty generous. Do you understand what I mean? I believe I do, sir,', replied AQnthony. Then may I see you after the race? You may,', said Anthony. Dart left, apparently well. satisfied. Morris said, 't'l'hat's what I call an easy way to get a five-thousand-a.-year income. I do not know what to do about it, said Anthony, I think I will go and ask Dad. He went up into the Howard side of the stadium and as soon as his schoolmates saw him making his way in from the rear they gave him a grand applause and cheer. 'VVhat if he should fail them,' he thought, and yet failure might mean rich success for him. He was likely to fall anyhowg his leg was so uncertain. He smiled at his father, a handsome, strong featured man and sat down on tl1e arm of his chair. Mr. Anthony looked up at l1in1 with an expression of pride and confidence. lVell, old man, this is the grand finale, he said. I guess it 's going to be worth all we've put into it. Ralph suddenly looked away. He disliked to trouble his father but after a moment he told him all that had passed be- tween Dart and himself. His father then told him that he was in the same trouble when he was in school. A fellow Who thought he wanted the race more than I did, offered me an important poistion and big money if I would let him win. I asked Dad about it and he calmly sized up the situation and cleared it all up for me. Here are these rich people, hc said, Mable to buy' and sell you a thousand times over if money is all there is to consider. But- do they offer you their money? Oh, no, they offer you a posi- tion and a salary which will be paid by stockholders' money If anything goes Wrong in the corporation you will be the loser. If you can afford to sell out your school, your conliding friends, and yourself on a proposition like that, it's up to you. 'tAnd about the race ? asked Ralph. I had to run the hundred yards in ten seconds to beat Dart to it, replied his father. Dart, did you say, asked Ralph. Yes, he's president of the Consolidated now. You may have to buck him and his tribe yourself some day. Ralph started to say something, but the clerk of the course called the hundred, so he went on down to the track and warmed up until the starterls whistle summoned him to the line. He recognized Cummings, who stood beside him, to be the fellow whom Dart wanted to win. Get ready on your mark, called the starter. Anthony placed his feet for the start and dropped to one knee. 1 Get set! The starter pointed his gun skyward. Like a steel spring Anthony vibrated O11 his bent legs waiting for his release. He did not wait for tl1e report. The starter's trig- ger-iinger told him when to go. As he straightened from the crouch, he felt a. pain like a dagger-stab in his weak leg. It almost threw him off his bal- ance. But controlling his nerves with all the strength his will could summon, he gathered speed. Instant by instant the pain increased. Before he had cov- ered twenty yards it became an intense agony. His jaws closed like a vise and for an instant his eyes saw nothing but a blur- red, confused background. Cummings was two yards ahead. Evidently he had no fear of Anthony, but was concentrating on the man on his left, who was about on even terms. They were near the fifty yard mark. The pain seemed aba.ting. Anthony called on his muscles for more speed, and they responded. Inch by inch he gained on the fore-runners. Cummings turnd his head slightly side-- ward, as though listening to the grating of the spikes in the cinders. The stands were in an uproar. He heard his own name roared from the Howard side, and from the crowd opposite rang that of Curmnings. Twenty yards from the tape he was shoulder to shoulder with Cummings. His antagonist seemed to have something in reserve. An instant before Cummings uncorked his last ounce of energy Anthony made a spurt. The spectators stood on the very rails. They were still shoulder to shoulder. Anthony's stride which cut in two the live yards that separa.ted him from the tape, was longer than Cumming's best. As he threw up his hands and advanced his foot for the final lunge, his injured leg gave way, he dove headlong on the ground. The rest of the runners shot by, he picked himself up and limped over toward the green turf. The timers were comparing watches, and the announcer stood with his megaphone waiting for the record. 6t0118-l111HdI'9d-Y3,1'd-dilSll won in ten seconds -a loud applause burst from the crowd,- won by Ralph Anthony. He scrambled to his feet. Tl1e rooters from his school surged past the oliicers, and swept down upon him. A moment later Cummings came up to him wearing an as- tonished: expression. 'tlVell, you won after all, he said. Anthony replied meaningly, That's what I Went in for. IRWIN DENT '27. SCHOOL NOTES SEN1oR RECEPTION The Seniors gave the Freshmen a reception shortly after school began. This welcome to the new students was held in the gymnasium, where the Freshmen became a little better ac- quaintd with their teachers and the other students of Stam- ford Seminary. Several of the privileged ones were not pres- ent, a part of these because they were unable to attend, others because they did not realize until after that they had been iu- vited. A plan was made by which each Freshman might be identified and thus be assured of a Welcome. As their names were called they came forward and received green ribbons, which were immediately donned. Mr. Wilson had charge of the games which were well patronized. After all had had a jolly good time, ice cream and cake were served. The remain- der of the evening was spent in dancing. Many of the Fresh- men left early, content with short hours on their first public appearance. MUs1CAL RECIT.-xLs This year we were highly elated to hear that it was no longer compulsory for each student to take part in chapel ex- ercises. According to Miss Mallory's plan tl1e individual may offer his services but is not compelled to make an appearance. Many interesting Musical Recitals have dominated our VVed- nesday morning gatherings. These have been in the form of vocal, piano and instrumental solos, duets and trios. The girls chorus and student bod.y have taken an active part in the sing- ing. The grade children have given fantasies and plays and helped a great deal to make these half hours interesting. CHRISTMAS ENTERTAINMENT The Christmas entertainment was held in the Gymnasium December twenty-third. Under Miss Mal1ory's direction an interesting program of songs and plays was presented. The student body sang several carols and the girls chorus rendered a group of songs. Four original numbers were given by mem- bers of the second and third year music classes. The grades gave an interesting Christmas play and also a Mother Goose act. This is the first Christmas entertainment held in the even- ing in several years by the school and certainly proved most satisfactory.

Miss Helen Hubbard had efficiently trained the contestants. Miss Mal- lory, Mae Willis and Caroline Hickok rendered the musical se- lections. The judges awarded hrst prizes to Viola Eklund and Kenneth Doonan, second prizes to Anna Canfield and Cornelius Brown. The two who won first prizes represented our school at the interscholastic contest. Kenneth Doonan won a second prize there. SONG CONTEST An intersting contest was held among the four classes dur- ing March. The object of the contest was to get an original school song. The Sophomores were most deserving and wo11 the prize, a five dollar gold piece. The words of the winning song were made by the combined efforts of the Sophomores at class meeting. John Gray composed the music. Mrs. Harloff, Miss Hubbard and Mr. Hamilton acted as judges. Each class sang the present school song and the song they had composed. All classes sang very well and much credit is due to the four pupils who directed the singing. GRADE ENTERTAINMENT May 7th the annual grade entertainment was given. Un- der the supervision of Miss Mallory the three plays, Puss in Boots, The Three Bears and Cinderella, were a great success. About one hundred and thirty-five dollars was realized from the entertainment. CLASS BENEFITS In order to make money for their VVashington trip the Seniors held several bake sales during the year. The athletic association gave them the receipts of two Basket Gall Games and the townspeople aided: greatly by patronizing their affairs. Despite all these benefits they would have been unable to have made the trip had not members of the faculty and outside in- dividuals put on a play for their benefit. The Suicide Specia- list proved at great success and made the trip possible. Much credit is due to the Hlhlllilt-6ll1',SH for their kindness in giving the play and for the fine acting shown at the time. The Juniors have held one Bake Sale during the year and have tried to make their Work easier next year by earning some money now. They gave a play in the form of a Vande-- ville the twenty-first of May. Miss Cowles coached the play which certainly proved a great success. The fourth of June they held the annual Junior Prom. The old custom of a grand promenade was revived and proved very interesting. A large crowd was present and the dancing was greatly enjoyed. EDITORIALS '- 'x .P 'iz Q N! xf SCHOUL-SPIRIT School-spirit is a feeling of goodwill that the students have for the school which tl1ey attend. To portray this emo- tion as experienced by the students is almost impossible bc- cause of its complexity. School-spirit is many things. It is the love and pride a student has for his schoolg it is his obed- ience of all the rules of the teachersg and it is the boosting of all school activities by every student of the school. The spirit exists not only in the students and instructors of the school but in the parents of the young people as well. Every school should enjoy school-spirit because its prosperity depends greatly upon the demeanors and success of those concerned with the institution. A school which lacks school-spirit is like a person who has no ambitions in life-neither it nor he ever anything a particular importance for itself, or himself, or any- body else. The love of a student for his school may be the greatest factor in true school-spirit. Une who loves his school upholds it in every way above all others and admires it for more than its educational qualities. W'hen the time comes for him to leave, he carries away many pleasant memories of the school- roorn, his fellow-students and the many little incidents which have added spice to his school life. NVhen a student loves his school, he has a friendly relae tionship with all his schoolmates. If he has any private grudg- es he keeps them to himself while in school and settles them outside without interferring with school work. Boys and girls work together amicably for their own advancement and for the prosperity of their school. As a result of such an atmos- phere of peace and comradeship, both school and students do prosper surprisingly well and quickly. Pride for the outward appearance of the entire school is also a part of the school-spirit a student feels. He is proud of the looks of the schoolrooms, the grounds, and the building and always does his part toward keeping them ill order and clean. He realizes that an orderly school building is more attractive than an untidy one, also, that trim school grounds give visitors a good impression a.nd help raise it in public opinion. Along with a student's love and pride for his school, is his obedience to the rules of his school. He realizes that a well- trained school is more praised than one which lacks discipline. For this reason he is very careful to obey all the rules of the school and of his instructors. Wlien each student obeys the rules strictly, only a few laws are needed to keep good order in the school. This helps the student as well as the school. Another desirable feature of school-spirit is the coopera- tion among the students and teachers of the institution. This kind of cooperation makes school-life pleasant and successful. Teachers like to teach a student who works with them quietly and attentively. This student gains knowledge quickly, takes much interest in his studies and advances rapidly. At the same time as he is gaining an education, he is slowly acquiring many useful habits which will aid him in a successful life later. That is because the cooperation teaches him to work with other people and think of others as well as himself. The last, but perhaps the greatest, part of school-spirit is the students a.ttendance at as many school functions as pos- sible. Of course he boosts all athletic games because he likes them but he gives his attention to other school functions as well. Students join the athletic team because they like to play. However, they fight for victory because of their own school spirit. Then, nothing makes victory easier for the fighters tl1an strong yells for their side from the throats of the school- spirited boosters. The cry Fight! Fight! yelled by voices that mean what they say, wins the game every time. It is a students love and pride for his school which gives him school-spirit, and it is the existence of true school-spirit which makes a school worthy of the esteem and praise of its students. School-spirit has done much for every school in which it exists. Many small schools have become prominent because of some feat accomplished by its school-spirited stu- dents. They may be known and famed because of their stu- dent societies, their entertainments given by hardworking stu- dents, because they have won athletic championships, and for many other reasons, chief of which may be because they enjoy school-spirit. To admit that not all schools have school-spirit is a hard task. It is the sad truth, however, that they have not the spirit which has proven so necessary for a prosperous institution. Still sadder is the fact that these schools are not so successful as those blessed with that really indescribable something felt by the students for their school. The something which is usually termed school-spirit. y ' H. BUCK '26. UNRECOGNIZED SERVICE VVhy should the members of athletic teams be the only pupils to receive honorary letters? This is a question which perhaps few people have ever considered, but it is a question worthy of consideration. Un- questionably the honor of the school is upheld by other means besides athletics, yet the people who take part in these various other activities do not receive the honor they rightly deserve. Take for instance, those who enter the oratorical contests. Now, speakers must have certain qualifications just as athletes do. They, too, must give of their time and strength to make a success, and with less pleasure and thrill along the way, for a speaker's rehearsal is not so exciting as a team's practise game. Yet the speaker who is chosen as representative in the interscholastic oratorical contest for the championship of the county receives no recognition by the school, whereas all the members of the athletic teams who play a sutlicient amount of time receive honorary letters. lWhy should not the speaker, too, be honored thus? Nor must we so far forget the real purpose of a high school as not to consider the case of those Who bend their ener- gies to their studies. Good recitations and good marks are not spectacular. They are not greeted by bursts of applause But aren't they What the high school needs if it is to be one of high standing or in fact, if it is to be a high school at all? All the pupils of a school can not be athletes, nor can they all be brilliant students. A splendid forward might be com- pletely at a loss if forced to face an audience and deliver a speech. But all can if they will serve the school in one Way or another. Surely these various important ways of serving one's school deserve equal recognition. CORNELIUS BROWN. TO BE BACK AT Tl-IE AGE OF THREE To be back at the age of three -- Running, jumping, climbing, prying, With never a care beyond bruises and bumps, Nor a thought for the time that is flying, To see as it seems and not as it is, To have faith in the goodness of all, To enjoy small favors,-asking no more Of life than to play with a doll, To be blind to customs, unconscious of self, And seldom troubled to see The faults of others in word or deed- To be back at the age of three! M. NVILLIS '26, THE BEAUTIFUL STREAM By Cleta Baird Therels a beautiful stream in tl1e valley That babbles the livelong day, And it does one 's heart good just to listen and look, It's so frolicsome, blithesome and gay. It is day on tl1e stream in the valley, The bright sun in the clear azure sky Turns the wavelets to gold, of a splendor untold, While a breeze in the trees ripples by. It is night on the stream in the Valley. The soft breeze in the trees now is still, And the mellow mo0n's beam on the murinuring stream Turns it silver against the dark hill. L'ENvo1 O, beautiful stream in the valley You'll be dear to my heart everrnore, For without you I couldn't have written This assignment for English Four. NIGHTS Night Drifting shadows Darkness. Drowsy lights Silence Sentinel like trees And in nests among their branches Tired birds at rest Protected by the cloud of darkness Drawn like at veil in ancient orient. Night in the country Moon shining on hillsides Making ghosts of birches, And showing cattle resting. Frogs croaking in deep swamps And iireliies lighting dark fields VVhere the ripe wheat courts the wild roseg All safe in the cool arms of night. Or clear cold nights, Ice covered trees Flowers under a white blanket ' Snow sparkling silver in the moonlight- Cattle resting on beds of straw Youngsters skating on frozen swamps, Or coasting in the moonlit fields Wliere of late stood the ripe wheat. Night in tl1e city Tired figures hurrying- Millions of lights everywhere Merry couples dancing and singing A fast awakening as of a new day: Joy and laughter, No quiet yet at midnight Noise and hurry. Or wet foggy nights Veils of mist hiding tl1e maang Slippery mud covered streets Lights dimmed and hazy- Mournful sound of dripping rain Long black shadows ' Night. H. DENT '26 THE SONG OF A IVOULD-BE OOVVBOY Oh, would that I were a cowboy Out on the grassy plain, I'd lift my voice up to the sky, And give my horse free rein. Oh, would that I were a cowboy With never a sorrow to mend, Witli only joyous thoughts to think And all the days to spend. Oh, would that I were a cowboy Thoughtless of power a11d pelf, Living and riding alone with God And finding the man in myself. Oh, would that I were a cowboy Driving my herd o'er the plain Across the green of the rolling hills- Wzltcliing the daylight wane. Oh, would that I were a cowboy The fruits of the day to reap, Under the roof of a, starry sky VVrapped in the wings of sleep. K. DOONAN, '26 A X.

There were about twenty-two mon who reported for the first practice but ineligibility for various reasons reduced the number to about fourteen nien. The Week preceediiig our iirst game il nloeting of lust year's letter men wus culled for the purpose of elof-ting il vup tain. Floyd Cuyle was ununiniously eleoted oaptuin. - Our prospects were not very bright for a winning team as there was only one letter man, Cuyle, left from last year. How- ever, by coach Wilson's efforts and the loyalty of the men, one of the most dangerous teams of the league was developed. Con- sidering the green material we had to work with we fe-el well repaied for our efforts on tl1e accomplishments of the team. Stamford Seminary should be in line for a championship basketball team next year. With the exception of Harris, Doonan and Cuyle, we will have the same team next year. MacLaury is the captain-elect for next year. He was elected unanimously at a meeting of the letter-men of this year. The following men received their letters for basketball this year: Cuyle Qcapt.j, Macliaury QCapt.-electj, Mackey, Doonan, Govern, Harris and Harper. The line-up of the team was as follows: F. Cuyle, fCaptai11j Rt. guard-left forward. H. MacLa.ury, fCaptain-electj Left forward. C. Mackey, center. M. Harper, Right forward. S. Harris, Left guard. F. Governfright guard. K.

BASEBALL Tl1e first call for candidates for baseball was issued by Coach Wilson immediately after our Easter Vacation. The call was promptly answered by about sixteen men. The mem- bers was rather small to work with but nevertheless our pros- pects for a championship team were bright. Six of the veterans of last year's team reported which brightened the outlook for the team. Those men were G. Lewis, R. Govern, Harris, Cuyle, Mackey, F. Govern. Vilith these vet- erans as a nucleus, Coach XVilson seemed confident of building a good team. George Lewis was elected Captain. VVe opened our season with a victory. Oneonta High school was defeated by a score of two-three, Mackey, our Southpaw pitcher, starring by chalking up eighteen strikeouts and allowing only three hits. This game was a non-league game. Our league season opened by losing to Margaretville by a score of nine-four. The fielding was very loose on the part of Stamford. Thus far this is the only league defeat we have suf- fered and we are tied with Margaretville for first place in the league. The line-up for Stamford is as follows: R.

THE SENIORS IN VERSE Thrice Kenneth has been chosen To guide us on our way. This time we have chosen To aid litte Mae. To us, Mae was a stranger. But quickly by her face In all our hearts, especially one, She won a prominent place. Everybody likes Natalie Better known as Nat Her High School years are three Not often do We see A girl as bright as that. Cleta works at everything She plays basket ball with a will Yet when it's time to enjoy ourselves Cleta is with us still. That Faith has a romantic heart But a few of us know Because she comes from far away Ffaithfully through rain or snow. That Helen has ideas We have to understand Because she lets us know them As fast as ever she can. Dorothea brought her big brown eyes From Roxbury to us She often rolls them round To save her from a fuss. To us from Delhi Brownie came 'Twas in our freshman year Sl1e plays a basket ball game Really worth a cheer. Harper is with us again We are glad to see him here. He has helped our basket ball men Very much this year. Aiurilla used to find it hard. To keep up in the race. But since she got her little Ford She really sets the pace. To Whom it may concern, Art Bush is brighter than We think Because there is so much to learn Of knowledge he loves to drink. Although We feared we'd lost her, Betty is with us once more. Much trouble school problems have cost her Now she's safe on Senior shore. George is very well known. He is everybody's pest. His one redeeming feature is He seldom t'Hu11ks a test. There's something that appeals to Floyd Much more than fairy lore. We all have to admit that it's Keeping basket ball score. Ruth is a studious girl In lessons she soars on and on The only time she loses Is when she's out with Don. Harriet is a quiet girl In school she's always tryin' But when she's out of school Sl1e acts more like a Lyon. Bay, a quiet fellow student, Knows that to graduate In three High School years He has to study hard. and late. That Jim Moore has a car We surely ought to know Because we've often used it NVhen picnicking we would go. We all agree That Saul's a dear But when there's work to do He is never near. Because we don't k11ow Harlan NVe can't write much about him. He comes from a garage in South Gilboa Beyond that our knowledge is dim. Ada comes from South Gilboa WVith her dark long curls. She would not part with them For half a million worlds. 'fKate liked to talk and walk Out, either day or night. So she, to be a Senior, Has to work with all her might.
