As soon as we had learned our A, B, C's in respect to the rooms, we called our frol- icsome Freshmen class together in room C and elected our class officers: Hilda Lynch, as President, Raymond Govern, as Vice-President, and Ger- trude Decker, Secretary and Treasurer. The dignified Seniors initiated us into High School by a reception given for us early in September. As students we were dumb but the succeeding classes show no improve- ment, so it's well that we reached High School when we did. At the end of our first year we went to Cooperstown Lake for a picnic with Miss McPhee as chaperon. As Sophomores in '24, we chose as our class officers Raymond Govern as President, Gertrude Decker, Vice-President, and Bessie Canfield, Secre- tary and Treasurer. We elected George Lewis as our council member. We soon planned a roast to be held at Utsayantha Lake. Miss Mahony was our chaperon. This was an eventful trip and lingered in our minds for some time. After this we studied and we did not have another trip until June. Just after Regents we went on a picnic with the Junior class to the Devil's Kitchen and enjoyed ourselves immensely. As Juniors, we were fewer in number but not in spirit. We elected Gertrude Decker as President, George Stevens as Vice-President, and Bessie Canfield as Secretary and Treasurer for class officers, and Raymond Govern and James Moore to represent us in the students' council. ln January Ray and James joined the Senior class, so we elected Bessie Canfield and Hugh MacLaury for the rest of the year. We chose Miss Cowles as our faculty advisor. '- September twenty-second we went on our roast with the Sophomore class at the old club house, Miss Coon and Mr. Wilson acting as chaperons. After the roast we went to the new club house and enjoyed ourselves danc- ing and playing games. In January we picked out our Senior rings. Early in April we began to look forward to raising some money for our Washington trip for our Senior year. April twenty-fourth we had our first bake sale, making about eighteen dollars. May twenty-first we put on a vaudeville sketch, Foiled by Heck, and a comedy, f'Billy's Chorus Girl. These were great successes and we cleared about fifty dollars. On June fourth we held our Junior Prom, and under Miss Cowles' supervision it was made a grand occasion. We took in one hundred and twenty-four dollars, clearing about forty. Thus we closed our Junior year with a neat sum in the treasury for our trip to Washington. After school was closed we enjoyed our annual picnic at Pine Lake. Mrs. Griffin was our chaperon. When school opened again in ,26 we felt somewhat better acquainted with Stamford Seminary than when we were Freshmen. We very soon or- ganized our Senior class, choosing Irwin Dent as President, George Stevens as Vice-President, and Bessie Canfield as Secretary and Treasurer. Sep- tember twenty-first we held our reception for the incoming Freshmen. We ordered ninety-six dollars worth of candy and sold this during the next few weeks. We also had a bake sale to start the year. The last of October we had a Hallowe'en social in the Churchill Memo- rial Building and cleared forty dollars. Harpersfield also put on a play, Down East, about this time and we received one-half the receipts, our share amounting to eighteen dollars. In December we solicited advertisements for a calendar. In this way we raised twenty-five dollars and had two hundred and fifty attractive class calendars to distribute. December twentieth the Senior talent gave a play, uAt the End of the Rainbow, which brought in one hundred and thirty-seven dollars. Janu- ary fourth we took the play to Grand Gorge and made forty-four dollars. January twenty-ninth we held a bake sale at Tooley 8: lVlcAlpine's store. This was the third in the series of five bake sales which we held to raise money for our expected trip. On February fourteenth we held a Valentines Card Party. We still lacked a considerable sum from the amount we desired, so we arranged with the Senior class of Hobart to give their play in the Churchill Memorial Building. In this way we raised fifty dollars more. We sold arm bands and skull caps of the school colors and two hundred and eighty-eight dol- lars worth of candy during the year. On April fifth we gave a movie at the Churchill Gymnasium which closed our money raising campaign with a total of six hundred and forty- five dollars in the treasury. April fifteenth we started on a ten day trip to the national capitol and New York City. We went by way of Harrisburg and Gettysburg and came back through Philadelphia and New York. We all enjoyed a wonderful time and concluded a most educational trip. Since Easter vacation we have worked getting material ready for the Camera. Class colors-Green and white. Class flower-For-get-me-not. Class motto-Non scholae, sed vitae discimus. ,fWe learn not for school, but for lifej. . GEORGE WILLARD STEVENS GEORGE Stamford, New York Peg of my heart--we will never part Vice-President 3-4 George entered Stamford Seminary in his Freshman year, and was chosen as Vice-President of our class both in our Junior and Senior years. He has had a successful four years and we hope it will continue in the future. George had not been particularly popular among the opposite sex untill this year, when cupid Pierced', his heart. KATHERINE BEATRICE HASTINGS c'KArHER1NE South Jefferson, New York Katherine is now in S. T. C. Studying Arithmetic and Geography Katherine joined us four years ago in our Freshman year. In January of the Senior year, she' entered Training Class. She has always helped faithfully in raising money for our Washington trip. We wish her the best of success with the position as teacher of a rural school. BESSIE MAE CANFIELD CCBESSH 4 Stamford, New York He is a fool who thinks by price or skill To turn the current of a woman's will Editor-in-Chief Camera. Basketball '25, '26, '27, Secretary and Treas- urer '25, ,26, ,27. Athletic Association '26. Bess,7 needs no introduction, for she has been with us all of our four years. She has acted as class Secretary and Treasurer for our Sophomore, Junior and Senior years, and has certainly carried out the responsibilities of that office. Her courage and Huency in speaking has proved to us that she has plenty of class spirit and a resource of ideas. She also has played a great part in athletics, especially in basket ball. LESLIE CON IFF WILCOX GSI-IES!! Stamford, New York '4Work! How I abhor it Baseball ,27. Athletic Association ,27. Stamford has always been the home of Les and his career with the class of '27 dates back to primary days. He has always been more or less a mystery to us and we have concluded that he must be a genius. He has been rather forgetful, so much so that we are afraid that he has forgotten to give any time to the weaker sex. Athletics have not played an important part in his life, but in spite of this fact he has earned the much desired Sl, in baseball this year. The reason for this success is, no doubt, due to the unique way in which he holds the bat. As regards the future, Les', is undecided as to whether or not he will join the ranks of the Drug Store Cowboys. GERTRUDE DECKER CERT Stamford, New York Very studious is Gert, But also she can flirt Basketball '25, '26, '27. Secretary and Treasurer class '24. Vice- President '25. President '26, Athletic Association '27, Salutatorian. Bus- iness Manager Camera. Gert,' has been a member of our class through our four years in Stam- ford Seminary, and very advantageously at that, for isn,t she the Saluta- torian of our class this year? Gert,', besides being studious is interested in certain types of trucks, especially the Mack flVIacD. Geri, is undecided about continuing her education further, but we wish her success in whatever she undertakes. HOWARD E. RAYNOR MHAPPIPY' Stamford, New York Though he is the teachers, trials, He is the one who gives us smilesf, Howard has been with us during the four years of high school. Al- though he hasn't been elected to any of the offices, he has done his share in class enterprises. V He is the teachers' trial, and by his humorous disposition we all get our money's worth of laughter. On the Washington trip he kept the whole class in good humor by his witty remarks. He seems to be against the opposite sex, but we sincerely hope he'll sometime meet the right one. IRWIN HOWARD DENT G4DENT75 0 Stamford, New York When the Seniors met to choose a President, They all at once decided on Irwin Dent President of Senior Class '27. Valedictorian. During our four years of high school Irwin has been with us. Al- though he is very quiet, he has managed to make his presence felt by his many valuable suggestions and ideas. During his last two years he has been active in athletics. He took part in the Prize Speaking Contest this year. He did not re- ceive a prize but deserves honorable mention. He will also deliver the Valedictory at commencement exercises. ADA BELLE MABEY GSADA75 South Gilboa, New York Alas, a dear little girl, Never paper wads does she hurl, Treads the straight and narrow way Studies geometry all day. Ada joined us last fall as a Senior. She has not taken part in athletics but has helped us out of class difficulties. We understand uAda will take up Training-Class work next fall. Here's wishing her success in her instruction to the young. BOMIETT STEVENS GAYLORD GGMETZU Harpersfield, New York All our own was Romiett, Until Wilburn she metg Then alas, Wilburn had his way, Soon her name will be Barkley. Romiett has been with us during her last two years of high school. She has worked faithfully during these two years and went to Washington with us. Before she came here she was a well known student at Davenport High School. During her spare time out of school she has created an everlasting love for a certain school teacher, so we know that Romiett will always continue her education. HELEN LAUX HHELENH Stamford, New York The brightest sunshine that most men prize, Is the laughter of Helen's eyes. Baseball '27. Advertising Manager Camera '27. Helen has been with us during our four years at high school. She has taken part in all our class activities and aided greatly in making our Wash- ington trip a success. She especially delights in attracting the opposite sex, and I will say she is quite successful in doing so. She is a member of the Stamford Seminary girl's B. B. team. ASTRID MARGARET EKLUND HASTRIDH Blenheim Hill, New York Astrid now-but not for longg Here comes the bride will be the song. Astrid has been with us all our four years in high, having come to Stamford from the mountainous wilds of Blenheim Hill. She took the leading part in the Senior play, a part which came very easy for her. Al- though there was quite a bit of buzzing about at that time, it is gone and forgotten now, as the diamond shows. Here are the best wishes for your future. JOHN JAMES GRAY, JR. YJOHNNIEY Stamford, New York On with the dance Athletic Association ,26. Assistant Editor of Camera. Johnnie, as he is better known, delights us very much by his talent to make the piano keys dance. He spends a good share of his noon hour playing the latest music he has heard and the other share being teased to play. Johnnie was certainly greatly enjoyed on our Washington trip by his many maneuvers. By the way, he expects to graduate in three years and he certainly will be missed in his general haunt next year. We all wish him the best of luck along his musical line. HUGH PECK MAC LAURY SCMACS, Kortright, New York We never worry about the basket ball score, When we know' that 'gMac,' is on the floor. Basket ball 325, ,26, Captain '27, Athletic Association 726. '4Mac,' started his high school career in Oneonta, but for the last three years he has been with us in our studies fespecially geometryj and class activities. He lent a helping hand this year in earning money for the Wash- ington trip. Mac has always been our star athlete. This year he has been a suc- cessful captain for the basket ball team, and judging from the way he took his part in the Senior play, we are sure he would be equally successful in football if he should ever attempt it. MARY MARION MOORE CCMARYJP Stamford, New York One of our class is Mary dear, Who is always bright and gay, Her cheery smile for everyone, Goes a long, long way. Mary has spent her four years of high school at Stamford. Although she has not taken any part in athletics, she has been a very good student and has always had high marks. She has worked loyally and we have been happier because of her ready smile and cheery disposition. Mary plans to continue her education in Oneonta Normal next year, where we know she will make a great success. . 1 ,Q 's ig' A 0 x Agiilqi I' use IF' l . F I . I i -i'i5 Qf. ll' 1.

THE FUTURE OF THE CLASS OF '27 One night as the wind went howling through the trees, I was sitting, musing before an open fire. This is my last year at Stamford Seminary, I thought. Then as I reviewed my years at school, the faces of my class- mates arose before me. Suddenly the flames glowed more brightly. The sound of distant music greeted my ear. And there before me was a gayly lighted night club such as one finds in the city of New York. A very jazzy orchestra was furnishing the music for the crowds of dancers. At the piano sat John Gray, who was now called the second Vincent Lopez. The dancers paused and one brilliant light was focused upon the figure of a beautifully dressed dancing girl. According to the applause that Gert, for it was she, received, I realized what a success she had made of her chief occupation. . The music died away and I heard the sound of tramping feet. Out of the fire marched a grand parade. Leading this parade was a much paint- ed and bedecked clown, who carried a tiny, pink parasol. His attention was caught by a very pretty girl. He removed his cap and mask and there by the chimney stood Howard Raynor. The flames died down to a grayish hue. Then there appeared in the fire a very cozy room done in rose and gray. Beside a table sat a young woman whom I recognized as Astrid Eklund H71 On the opposite side of the table Ken,' Corbin was reading the evening paper. I at once recog- nized the 4'Little White Housei' of Astrid's dreams. The room slowly faded from view and there appeared in the fire a large white mansion. Down the steps came a fashoinably dressed young lady. I immediately recognized Bess Canfield, now lVIrs. Fred Freed. She stepped into a Rolls Royce and was driven rapidly away to meet her hus- band, who was just returning from Alaska. As the car disappeared, the scene changed to a rough countryside. Bumping over the stony road came a much bespattered Ford car without a top. It soon halted before a little red school house. The driver alighted and entered the school house. The children crowded about her. From their actions I judged that they were very fond of their teacher, who was none other than Katherine Hastings. Again the flames glowed brilliantly and I soon caught sight of a large city. In a huge building a door opened, disclosing to view a large office. At the desk sat a handsome man of about 30. Beside him, writing at his dictation, was a young girl. As she lifted her eyes to smile at him, I recog- nized Helen Laux, the vamp of our class. The office faded from view and there appeared in the fire a large col- lege. Out on the campus I perceived a great number of young men earn- estly playing baseball. The pitcher attracted my attention as his face seemed famililar. Then I recognized Hugh MacLaury, one of our class. He left the pitchbr's box and one of the college men took his place. I realized that Macis desires had been gratified, for now he was coach and physical instructor at Princeton. He swiftly approached a very scholarly looking man and bowed re- spectfully to him. As the man turned to speak, I recognized Irwin Dent, who was now the Dean of the college. I was not surprised that Irwin had reached the heights because he was Valedictorian of our class. Qui'ckly the scene changed and a large house appeared. There seemed to be some kind of celebration, as the house was crowded with people. Then out of the door came a young couple amid a shower of rice and confetti. They entered a Dodge coupe and drove away. The bride proved to be none other than Romiett Gaylord, a member of the class of '27. As the car drove out of sight, there appeared in the fire a large drug store. An attractive sign informed people that Wilcox and Stevens were the owners. I immediately thought of George Stevens and c'Les', Wilcox. My opinion was confirmed, for just then George and Les', came to the door. George and L'Les slowly receded from view. Then many beautiful colors fiashed in the fire. At last, I realized that it was spring time. The sun was shining brightly and the birds were twittering in the trees near a small white school house. Then out of the door came Ada Mabey, fol- lowed by a number of small children. They strolled toward a large meadow. I soon perceived that they were followed by a very attractive man who apparently was much interested in the curly haired teacher. I suddenly awoke to find myself shivering with cold, for the fire had gone out while I slept. Mary, I am afraid, has forgotten her own prophecy, but the other night I had a dream in which I seemed to be in a large city at night. As I made by way down a crowded street, brightly lighted by many, many electric lights and signs, I found myself before a large theatre. I suddenly realized that it was the Metropolitan in New York. I went in and was not greatly surprised to find that Mary Moore was singing the leading role, for wasn,t Mary our song bird back at Stamford?

On May 25th they gave the annual Junior Prom atithe Gymnasium. This proved a success, netting the class about sixty dollars. With this amount they are well started on their career for Seniors.

THE JUSTICE OF JOHN LAKE Is this the way to Canaan?', asked the strange looking man who had halted on the road that led into the heart of the town. The countryman turned an inquiring eye and stared at the questioner. Sure it be, he said. 'Tis a matter of another iive miles. The stranger nodded and resumed his tramp. It is good to be back, murmured the man, as he trudged on. Then he gave a little laugh, a laugh which was out of keeping with what should have been his frame of mind, but his bitterness faded as he neared the village. It was a quaint old place where he had lived before the gold rush. He remembered the old watering trough and the stone house near the out- skirts of the town, both of which brought back memories of his younger days. He had been very lucky in spite of his illness whilch had kept him prisoner for many months. He had been ill, so ill in fact, that the letter that had come for him at the old cabin in the land of snowy north, was hopelessly out of date before he read it. It was the letter John Lake had hoped for. It was from Grace, a letter written many months before. A letter telling him that she was, as ever, his and that she would still be waiting for him. He was rich despite his ragged appearance. He had changed so much that no one would know him now, and he smiled as he wondered if time had also left its mark upon Grace's ap- pearance. ulVIorning,'7 came from a man on his way to market. Lake stared at the speaker. It was Bill Rice, the mailman, and he did not know his former friend. lVIorning,'7 said Lake. He passed on toward the old Inn, where Mrs. Larcon lived, Graceis widowed mother. This was Canaan at last, and what the man had longed for. He had thought it would be of no use to inform them in advance of his home com- ing, and again he smiled as he adjusted his weighty knapsack. Grace would be able to do as she liked when they were married, for he was rich now. He had had friends in the old days before his adventures, but he had been looked down upon as a man who ldid not follow the beaten pathway and rest contented with a regular wagej. But Grace Larcon had stood by him and he still had her promise, a promise which had cheered him during hard times in the cruel North. He had suffered up there, but he had won. Better to have endured exile and win, than to go through life in complacent peace. He moved slowly toward the lnn door. What a place of rest after his strife! John Lake entered the Inn and set down his heavy burden to stretch his arms. Yes, it was good to be there. Then he heard the sound of voices, and Mrs. Larcon, looking somewhat older than when he had seen her before, entered. Good day, Sirfi she said, Hwhat can I get for youfw John Lake stared at the woman who had always been so kind to him. Get me?,' he faltered. He looked illg ill as well as ragged and worn. She did not know him, this thought flashed to his mind. Then his long stay up there in the far North must have changed him more than he realized. It was natural for Bill not to recognize him, but Mrs. Larcon, who had been almost a mother to him in the past, dealt him a severe blow. Lake again tried to speak. nl would like something to eatf' he said. 4'Yes, sirf' said the landlady, and she hurried to prepare the meal. She was inquisitive, but nevertheless a tactful woman, who would not rush questions at a dejected man who wanted time to think. 'LYou are from abroad, sir?,' she said at last. 4'Yes,', he said, 'gl have been away a long time. Have you been here long?'7 Yes, sir,', Mrs. Larcon went on, as though glad to tell her griefs to one who might sympathize with her. I thought of going away a year ago so that my daughter might be able to forget after her illness. Your daughter? Was she ill? The woman did not notice the tense feeling underneath his words. NYfs, the poor girl nearly died, but she is alright now and is happy again. It was best. Her wedding day is tomorrow. We thought she would never forget the death of the man she loved, yet she will be happy with George Calvin. He was good to us. A very rich man, who did all in his power to aid us during our time of sickness. George is a true man and he loves her.', 5'Your daughter thinks her lover is dead?,' he asked huskily. 4'There can be no doubt of it. The news was brought by some one who was wifth him in the North. Poor Jack Lake. He was a good fellow, but she will be happier with the man she has chosen now. She thinks-'l began Lake. Mrs. Larcon checked him. '6See,', she cried, there they aref, She pointed through the window and Lake saw the girl he loved come slowly down the street beside a tall, handsome looking fellow. He arose unsteadily and said, I will have a smoke in the garden. He hurriedly left the room and once in the garden he dropped down on an old bench and pondered until he was nearly distracted. Suddenly his thoughts were interrupted by soft voices. Grace was saying, George, dear, tomorrow I shall be proud to be your wife. Why should he permit another to take advantage of that false mes- sage from the distant North? He went back to the Inn, where he found Grace and Calvin standing in the hall. The girl turned as Lake came through the door and smiled at him. Mother told me about you, sir, said Grace. She said that you would be staying at the Inn for a time. There' was not a shade of recognition in her eyes. Then Lake retired to a corner where he watched the preparations for dilnner, unobserved. So this man, George Calvin, was rich. He was one who could give her more than he, John Lake. What was a little gold after all? He was just a Wayfarer in the world. He was about to tell her that he was John Lake, but he drew back for that might shatter her happiness. He had brought her jewelry and had thought only of her, but she had forgotten him and believed him dead. She 'came over to him and spoke. You are from the North, I sup- pose? Yes, I am from the North. You are going back? Yes, very soon, very soon. Both his hands and voice quivered as he said, I have not paid for your hospitality, and saying this he laid a large piece of gold upon the table. I may be gone in the morning early.', i You speak so sadlyf' said Grace. She was happy, why should he hurt her by letting his identity be known? He had been through self denial in the solitude of the North. In the little room which had been allotted to him, he sat down and wrote a message: Dear Miss Larcon, I think that I should let you know that I knew John Lake. You were always foremost iin his thoughts and his last request was that I bring you this jewel. Before Lake sealed the note he put a beautiful diamond brooch in it and wrote on the outside in bold hand writing, 6'Miss Larconf' She would find this in the morning, and by that time he would be far away. No one heard him leave as he crept stealthily out into the gray dawn. As he was on the road, there came over his face a sad smile, one of defeat. In a few short hours wedding bells would be ringing and there would be great rejoicing in her home, while he, John Lake, trudged on alone through the many years to come. -CORNELIUS BROWN '28 SCHOOL NOTES SENIOR RECEPTION The annual Senior reception was held in the gymnasium a week or two after school was resumed in September. The Freshmen were bedecked with green ribbons so that other members of the school could distinguish them more easily. In order not to make the evenimng too formal, games were directed by '6Prof Wilson. The Freshmen considered the eats the high spot of the evening. By the time the evening was over, the members of Stamford Seminary were better acquainted. CHRISTMAS PLAY A Christmas play, The Crosspatch Fairies, was presented December 23, 1926, in the Churchill Gymnasium. The cast included members of the first seven grades. The play was under the direction of Miss Folger, and by her talent the play was really a good one.

WASHINGTON Washington is the city no patriotic America can visit without a better realization of his citizenship, a city not of manufactures and commerce, yet a hive of industry. There is not the hustle and hurry of industrial activi- ties. Only a calm serenity rests about all as if such quiet were needed for the serious responsibility of great decisions. The location and plans for the nation's capital were decided by the man for whom it was named. These plans were drawn up by Peter Charles L'Erfant and were so elaborate that they called forth ridicule from many of the great men who saw them. It was Washington who looked beyond the immediate present and saw the need for the city portrayed in L,Erfant's plans, thus he ordered these plans executed. L'Erfant took as a piwot Capitol Hill, and from it all of the streets radiate as spokes from the hub of a wheel. These streets are intersected with cross streets and liberally sprinkled with beautiful parks. The streets and avenues are named after the states in the Union. The city grew slowly. When the government was moved there it was far from completion. lt was not until after the Civil War that the country realized the need for a beautiful and pretentious capital. Then trees were planted, parks laild out and new and beautiful buildings were erected. Thus we see Washington as it is today, with all its beauty and splendor. Of the places visited by the sightseers let us take first the National Capitol. This has been called unquestionably one of the most beautiful public structures in the world. There is certainly, in all Washington, no more beautiful sight than the lighted dome of the Capitol at night. When entering the building, one finds himself in the vast circular hall of the rotunda. Many huge columned corridors spread out before him. The walls are decorated with paintings and frescoes. One hundred eighty feet above him is the great canopy of the dome. This is sixty-two feet in di- ameter. A tour ,through the Capitol includes the House of Representatives, the Supreme Court Room, the Senate Chamber, the President's Room tsaid to be the most beautifully decorated room in the worldl, and the Hall of Fame. This Hall was at one time the room of the House of Representa- tives and when it became too small the room was set aside by Congress for statues. ln this room are the famous echoes of the Capitol. A climb to the dome may also be included in the tour iwf it is wished. The Library of Congress on Capitol Hill is just back of the Capitol. This, visited at night, is one of the most beautiful places in all Washington. It is an immense building of whirte granite. On the first floor are the rooms of the library. These were intended primarily for the members of Con- gress, but they are usted by other people. Sight-seers are not allowed iln these rooms. On the second floor are collections of various kinds on ex- hibition. At the top of the central stairway is a piece of beautilful Mosaic work. The entire library is decorated with sculptures, statues, paintings and quotations. The White House, home of the President, is on Pennsylvania Avenue some distance from the Capitol. It covers one whole block and is sur- rounded by Lafayette Park. Visitors are admitted to the East Room only. The Bureau of Printing and Engraving is one of the most interesting places to visit. Here one may see the money and stamps made. The New and Old National Museums and the Smithsonian Institute should be included in a tour through the cilty. ln the Smithsonian are many collections of Various kinds that are very interesting. The New National Museum is sometimes called the Museum of Natural History. Here is seen the Roosevelt collection. The Old National Museum contains an art collection. At Seventeenth Street are a group of buildings well worth seeing. The Corcoran Art Gallery, the Memorial Continental Hall, the American Red Cross Building and the Pan-American Union make up this group. The Washington Monument and Lincoln Memorial must not be for- gotten. The Washington Monument is an Obelisk of white marble. The shaft rises five hundred fifty-live feet five and five-eighths inches in height. In the walls are stones representing various states, cities, orders and organizations. Five hundred four feet up are Windows affording a View from every side. These may be reached by the stairway or elevator. The Lincoln Memorial, made of pure white marble, is on the Potomac side of the Monument. Around this building are thirty-six columns, repre- senting the States of the Union at the time of Lincoln's death. ln the cen- tral hall is a colossal statue of Lincoln. On the south wall is inscribed the Gettysburg Address. On the north wall, the Second Inaugural Address. The Union Station, United States Treasury, the Army and Navy Build- ings are among the many other places of interest that may be visited. Washington visitors always make a side trip to Mount Vernon and Arlington. The home of Washington is the same as when he lived there. Washingtoxfs tomb may be seen also at Mount Vernon. The Arlington National Cemetery is about sixteen miles from Wash- ington. Here lie the nationis dead of the Civil, Spanish American, and World War. The Memorial Amphitheatre and tomb of the Unknown Sol- dier may be seen here. At Alexandria is the old Christ Church where Washington and Lee worshipped. At the Masonilc Lodge Hall there are many relics of Washington. These are the things that high school classes visit on their Washington trip. There is much educational value in this trip. I think some times that this value is overlooked. Perhaps it is thought that these classes go for just a good time. This may be because this good time is discussed more than the educational value. Yet when this good time has been told and perhaps forgotten, the things that were seen, that added to the educa- tion of the person, still remain with him just as the lessons he learns in school. Thus his travel has played a vital part in his education. Lord Bacon says, When a traveler returneth home, let him not leave the places he has visited entirrely behind himf' -K. B. H. ,27 MY TREASURES If I could choose the things life holds dearest, The things that I would always take with meg I'd take some things with which I am surrounded, Some little things that every day I see. The scent of roses on a summer evening, The first arbutus found beneath the snowg The soft, sweet song of wind in dusky pine trees, Like organ music, tender, lovely, low. I would take a day of springtime gladness, A word that's spoke for only me to hearg The love of those whose love is worth the havingg These are the things that life itself holds dear. -D. BARTHOLOMEW ATHLETICS BASKET BALL Coach Wilson issued a call for candidates for basket ball the last week in October. There were about thirty men signed up for the first prac- tice, but due to various reasons the squad was reduced to about fifteen. The first of the season Captain lVlacLaury and Govern were out of the game due to injuries. This made our prospects look somewhat discourag- ing for a winning team. This, together with other difficulties, made our score look small, but nevertheless it did not discourage the team alto- gether. Stamford Seminary should have a dangerous aggregation in the fol- lowing year. With the exception of lVlacl..aury and Harper, we will have the same team. Decker is the Captain-elect for next year. He was unanimously elect- ed at a meeting of the letter men of this year. The following men received letters for basket ball this year: Mac- Laury lCapt.l, Decker 1Capt.-electj, Mackey, Govern, Miller, Harper, Terrell, and Utter. The line-up of the team follows: H.

BASEBALL A call for baseball candidates was issued after our Easter vacation. About twenty men responded to the call and our prospects were bright for a good team. Five players of last year's team registered, which brightened the pros- pects for a better team. C. Mackey, as the hurling ace, seemed to be in perfect form and thus far has sixty-eight strike-outs to his credit. Mackey was chosen captain. We have lost two games and won two, shutting out Delhi eight to noth- ing in the first league game. The line-up: C. Mackey, fcaptainl, pitcher F. Govern, catcher R. Decker, first base L. Stevens, second base M. Baird, short stop R. Miller, third base L. Wilcox, left field K. Utter, center field K. Baldwin, right field G.

C THE ROMANCE or CHARLIE CHARCOAL AND LULA LAMPBLACK Lula was the prettiest girl, ln all the colored section, When you looked at her shining cheek, You could see your own reflection. Her lips were red, the prettiest smile, For a kiss you would want to ask her. Take it from me, kid, donlt you do itg Her mother was from Madagascar. Now Charlie was a handsome boy: They called him Snowball Nickf' He always wore the nicest clothes, His hair was always slick. A case of love, without a doubt, When Lula she was spied, And when Charlie spoke to her, The blushes she couldn't hide. He loved her dearly, and with a sigh, At parting a kiss he gave. He patted her hair with his hand, And spoiled her permanent wave. On nights when the moon was shining, He would hold her in his arms, And tell his little sweetheart Of all her endearing charms. He would tell her that, with such a love, In the world he would succeed, And provide his little darlifng With pretty clothes and feed. In June they were to be married, What a darling little bride. Vlfhen she was away from him, For her he always sighed. Alone over the world he travelsg Over countries both long and wide. The romance has long since ended, For Lula up and died. -WAINWRIGHT POTTER '28 I yn ee A A AAAAAH JOKES William Raynor trying out an experiment to see if carbolie acid mixed with Eskimo pies, dust and ammonia would make Eskimoes.
