Then let each one of us appoint himself as a committee of one to take individual care of our share of the hooks which are intended to help ns in our High school careers. YOUTH AND PHYSICAL EFFICIENCY XYlil.l. hody is one of the most im- portant essentials for a well mind. Last fall when National lidueation Week was ohserved throughout the United States the lirst day was set aside as l'hysical lfdu- cation Day. lly physical education we not only mean the training of the hody. hut also the training of the youth's nlind as to the proper care of the hody. l.et us look hack for a moment at the his- tory of tireece. Those ancients worshiped physical heautyg heautiful women were as famous as their greatest men. They like- wise worshiped physical strength: their great athletic events testify to that. All Greek sculpture represents strength and heauty. Vrohahly most of you rememher from your study of ancient history some- thing ahout the .Xthenians and Spartans. The pride of a youth of either of those famous peoples was to develop his hody to the utmost. ln those days there were no swift methods of communication as we have to-day. and so messages had to he carried hy messengers. lt was not uncommon for an Athenian youth to run twenty-tive miles without stopping. and as one Greek legend tells us that after the hattle of Marathon the news was carried to Athens, many miles distant, and the messenger upon delivering the message fell dead. The Marathon runs of to-day are a redevelopment of the olfl Grecian sports. The greatest cost of industry is man power. The future of our nation depends upon our youths. Children are naturally huhhling over with energy and a hoy with- out a place to play is like a man without a joh. Play is a child's serious husiuess and the right sort of play should he afforded children, as character is moulded to a con- siderahle degree in childhood. It is our duty to look after the welfare of children. We should make it easy for them to do right and difficult to do wrong.

Glen is another comedian of our class. if you ask why he is a favorite. we ask you to take another look at his picture. Although he never tlirts with the girls, they all fall for him. His greatest talent is in writing stories and looking innocent. We are sure he will have a great future and we wish him success. Colon L. Dyer - Collie Baseball Manager Q-lj, Basketball UU, As you look at this picture you will think that Colon is a sleepy young' fellow and you will be right. He is not crazy for a car because he drives one every morning. We will say that he does not like the girls. but he is very fond of ta girl! and we may also add that he likes lVVelch's Grape Juicej.

Let George do it. has become a favorite phrase with us. George has been a member of our class two and one-half years, and we have surely enjoyed his company. He is a very studious lad, and always has his lessons. Although we are sure he has no intentions of teaching, he shows much interest in the suli-primary grades. Vance Elbridge Hammond - C Cephus Secretery A. A, Qlj, Basketball lij, Rev. Mr. Flick, in -lunior play, The Village School Ma'am QID, Base- hall QZSJ, Collector of A. A. dues till Q-lj, Oration. Vance hails from South Strong, where his faxorite occupation is raising chickens. lN'e are wondering if his class ring is lost among the Freshman girls? It is hoped that some day Vance will be an Orator. Bernard Orin Heald - Bernard Class Ode HJ. This is Bernard who hails from lower Tough End. He is very quiet, but when the crowd starts for excitement he is always there. He drives an Oldsmobile, but we wonder if he wouldn't like to invest in a Mitchell, His motto is, Ride and the girls ride with you, walk and you walk alone. lVhen he has to walk home with janet he sings, There-'s a Long, Long Trail. Bernard is a good student and we wish him future success. THE MUSSUL UNSQL ll Winnifred Myrtle Hubbard - Winnie Class Prophet, Kitty Clover in U Professor Pepp 1.25.

Very stuclious and full of fun. She is very well liked by all. Richard Edmond Lambert - Dickie Class XVill t-lj. Dick certainly delights in teasing the girls. but of course it 's just his luck to have them get peeved. He has a great ability for answering riddles. and some day we ex- pect he will find an easier method of doing algebra. For a long time his class ring has been missing and we fear it has been lost between the drug store and tough end. Harold Charles Lawton - Jappy NVe know jappy just loves to plague the teachers. and probably that 's why he is always getting the blame for ev- erything. His greatest ambition is to become a sailor. VVhat a charming sailor boy he 'd make. but somehow we think he has the natural ability of an orator. Of course we know jappy will do as he pleases, and we wish him future success. MUSSUL UNSQUIT Elmo Morse - Elbow Scientific Course. Track 143. lilmo is one of those stuclious boys. He is our champion hot dog eater. He is fond of radios, banjo's, and girls One day Elbow thought he would like to be a bicycle racer, but when he tried to run over a Ford, and failed, he suddenly changed his mind. Dana Edwin Peary - Just Dana Address to L'ndergraduates t-lj, Baseball Q31 LU, james Graham in Village School lXla'am glib, Orchestra UU 145- VVhat can that noise be? Oh. that 's just Dana with his cornet! Dana is rather shy and never bothers the girls, but to his disgust they just won't let him alone. This nice looking young man is very fond of fishing and we are sure that some clay he will win the prize. Orris Burchard Richards - Orris Baseball till HJ, Preliminary Speaking till HJ. Here is about the tallest boy in our class. His favorite expression is, XVhat do you think you know about it? XYe have never known Orris to miss attending church regu- larly. His favorite occupation is whistling, and playing in his father's garage.

Behold! Harold he lives on Lambert Hill where he can look down on the rest of us. During his junior year we often heard him whistling Who 'll take the place of Mary CD Harold spends part of his vacation hauling corn to the factory. He went to Boothbay last year, there must be an attraction because he's going back this year. 10 A 9 XXV 'lf eggs cw J L, , ,. .

Orra has been with us all through our High School course. She is very stndious and helpful, nothing has ever been asked of her that she has not willingly done. As for a class Secretary she is one of the best. For the past year she has been seen in the company of Colon a great deal.

The door flew open and in staggered what had heen a nian. .Xeross his face was a knife eut and hlood dripped from his hody to the floor. The policeman stared. llere hefore him was his nearest neighhor who lived ten miles helow and who never quarreled with others. llut farewe stopped staring and began to ask questions. The neighhor. Klordaunt hy naine, hlurted out a story of horror. In the early evening a man had asked him for shelter and Mor- daunt had let him in. .Xfter supper the visitor had suddenly drawn a knife and killed Klordaunt's wife. llefore he could he stopped, their daughter had also lieen killed. ltlordaunt had grapple-d with the strangeia and had heen thrown off hacked and bleed- ing. llaving heen left for dead he had saddled his horse and rode to the nearest poliee post which was -limniy's. at re When the man had nnished his terrihle story he fell from the Chair in which he w as sitting and hefore Aliinniy eould reach hun he died. tarewe laid limi on a hunk and started to get a hlanket w'he'i a sparkle Caught his eye. lle looked again. ilihert caught in the hack of Klordaunt's lieaxy shirt was a hlood stained knife. .linnny seized it and compared it with .inotlier that hung on the eahin wall.

Strange tales had -linuny heard of inen who had gone on this sanie duty and never eonle haek. .Xniong the Indians horrihle tales were told of people lured to the Long Knife eahin. lint duty was duty and ,linuny strode on with thoughts on the foul deed of the night hefore. On the fifth day of his travels he sighted a cliff that he knew as the end of the trail. llere was where all the people of the North Country changed trails, kept away from the terrihle death awaiting them in the eahin on the cliff. 'lirayeliug faster, .Iinuny de- toured the cliff and eaine within four lnin- dred yards of his quarry's eahin. Nearer and 'nearer he Caine.

THE MUSSUL UNSQUIT the door and gently tested the latch. .Xs he did so the door opened and a man leaped upon jimmy with upraised knife. The two men went down in a writhing heap. jimmy had discarded his pack back of the cabin and was free for action. The murderer was quick as a weasel. He drove his knife at .limmy's throat. and the latter promptly jammed his clenched fist into the horrible face above him. The confiict went faster and faster. lloth were big men and in the prime of life. They fought in the snow and rose leaving bloody stains. All civilized methods of lighting were cast aside and the two fought with hands, teeth and feet. jimmy had been wounded in the beginning and began to grow weaker. As they rolled near the cliffs edge he gave his opponent a push and they hung balanced on the prec- ipice. jimmy tried to free himself but Long Knife fastened his hands in an un- breakable hold and they both crashed on the rocks below. Carewe lay dazed a moment and then staggered to his feet. He glanced at Long Knife and turned away. Mor- daunt was avenged. G. R. H., ':4. THE DYNAMITE RAFT H HICY 'I.I. meet, said Kern Rodman. VVhich means trouble. answered Dan Farley. the river boss. .Ns Farley had been working for the Rod- mans for so many years it made him seem old to count them, he ought to know. and the boy, Kern, who was only eighteen. considered that he did know. Almost the last words of his father before he died were. Trust Farley. Kern found that he needed someone to trust. and was glad to find the trust he put in Farley well placed. For about fifty miles on both sides of the river on which they were standing, the lumber belonged to the Branch Lumber fompany, a corporation whose motto was. Multiply and profit. For many years there had been a feud between the Rodmans, and the PJI'3.l1Clll Lumber Company. This trouble had cost Kern's father his life. At various points along the river dams had been constructed. These were usually just below certain bad spots where run- ning logs were inclined to stick. W'hen there was any danger the gates of the dam could be closed. and the water setting back would deepen the rapids so the big logs would ride them. The dams were the cause of the trouble between the companies be- fore Mr. Rodman's death and were in- tending to do so now. The Rodmans that year had cut on tract No. Six. They were not forest hogs that like to get rich quick by cutting everything in their path, but were the kind of men who pick out the right trees. Near No. Six were two dams. It was at the upper one that Kern and his river boss were now looking. The gates were closed, and the drive coming in be- hind it. To keep the logs from bucking the dam, a string of booms cabled together had been run across just above it. This caught the logs and enabled the men to check and Corral them. Three miles abou-, the drive of the Branch Company was com- ing down. If it should come in on top of the smaller Rodman drive it would all but swamp it. The big drive had the power to put things over the smaller one and did it. That was why the Rodmans did not like it, but they did like fair play. and did not stop it. VVell son. said Farley, what are you going to do about it? Let 'em out. answered Kern. A' They have shown us what it will cost us if we don 't. And strand their logs? If I have to. yes. The old man's eyes glistened their ap- proval. He was an old graduate of the river men. and liked to see a fighting man. If you strand them. they 'll bring suit. he said. VVe 're in the right. They have no busi- ness on this stretch until we get our logs out. True, but a good lawyer can make black appear white. and they 've got money for good lawyers. They 'll make it appear that we gave them a raw deal even if we are within our own rights. We can 't afford lawsuits. The court will say we ought to have stretched a point and let them in. THE MUSSUL UNSQUIT 13 Stretched a point! After what we've been through with them before? They 'll smooth that over. But we're big enough to fight and by thunder Farley, we will fight! Eh? blinked the old man. I say we 'll fight. Open the sluiceway, Dan. just then a shout made Kern turn his head up the river. An exclamation escaped his lips. Down through the foam came a plunging raft. There came a crash in the bushes behind him, and another man, hatless, coatless and breathless came running to them. Dynamite! lie gasped, Dynamite! In the name of life, save him! It's dyna- mite! At a glance one could see that the man was no riverman. Stop it, he shrieked, Stop it! He 'll be killed! It's dynamite! He stopped and the river boss shook him, saying, Speak up, man! What is it? ' The raft! Dynamite! He 'll be killed! That was enough. Kern was speeding for the shore. Farley swung on the men be- low. Off the logs, boys! he shouted. Off the logs! just before the dam the water was quieter than up above, and it was in this stretch that the raft was moving. Toward it. to stop it, Kern was now swimming. The details of the affair the boy did not know, but enough and too much he guessed at. They had intended to blow up his logs. They had sent down a dynamite raft such as was sometimes used for blasting out boulders when the current was too swift to get at them any other way. They were usually guided by ropes. but this one was free. and the person on it was fated to go up with the explosion. The men had reached the shore and were watching the boy. Sometimes it seemed that he would reach it in time, and at other times they thought that he would 11ot. Kern, now very near the raft, feared that he could not overtake the raft in time to save the logs, but with one more spurt he reached the raft and threw himself flat across it. He wrenched the wire clear from the dynamite. The day was saved by the disconnecting of that little wire. The man from the woods, now surrounded by the men from the river, broke down and confessed openly. He had seen the dyna- mite raft constructed, and afloat. He had seen the electric current adjusted to await the impact of the standing logs below. Only one man had been instructed to do this work. He had been setting the charge when the swift water had caught him, and bore him away. In making his desperate leap to reach the shore his foot caught in the logs, and he was unable to free it on his downstream flight. VVell, said Kern, VVhat do you think? This thing has been going on for a long time, You have seen it now with your own eyes, not as it looks from a city desk. I think, Rodman, answered the man, that it ought to be stopped. And stopped it was. R. i'l1UCD. S.. '27. DECEITFULNESS U DEAR, thought pretty Mary Dun- stan, as she pushed back her red- dish, bobbed hair, it 's to-morrow that we have to pass in the themes, and I haven't mine written. What shall I do? I can 't think of a thing to write. Now Mary usually had good themes and naturally got good rank, but now her imagination seemed to have gone back on her. Neither could she think of a true story to write up. She was a junior, very ambitious, a good scholar and disliked deceitfulness, but as she sat thinking about her to-morrow's English lesson, a thought came to her about a story in an old newspaper that her aunt had sent from California. Surely, she said to herself, no one has ever seen a paper like that. The blood surging to her ashamed look- ing face, she hunted for the- paper. Still more self-consciously she copied it, changed the characters' names and to a certain ex- tent, the plot. There, after it was finished, I 'm sure no one will know that story. And, trying to excuse herself, 'II couldn't think of a thing to write about. I4 THE MUSSUL UNSQUIT Next morning her chum, Helen, called on her way to school. mediately began to in a natural voice. XK'hy, exclaimed Mary, He always screeches at me so, but you seem to have made friends with him. livery time you come in. he 'll talk nice to you. l've just tried to make him talk to me, but he only makes horrihle noises. You get angry with him, Mary, said llelen. 'l'hat's why. maybe. Have you your theme written yet? l have. l.et's swap to read them. To her surprise Mary began to cry. XYhy, Xlary, what's the matter? To her Mary told the whole story, hut without trying to excuse herself. lnstead she said. I woke up early this morning and lay thinking. There are lots of things to write up now, but l left my Latin for the tirst two periods. lf it wasn't for that l could wi'ite one then. l'nt so sorry, Mary, Helen tried to l'oll, the parrot, im- say Good morning soothe her. l 'ni su1'e you 'll never do it again. Come. dry your tears: it 's time for school. .Ns they left the house they could hear the parrot sputtering. ,Xt noon Rlary came rushing up to Helen. U Helen. she cried. you know we don't have lfnglish until afternoon so l left lily theme honle, on the table. .Xnd what do you think? That dear parrot that I talked so innch about this morning, got out of his cage and tore my theme all to pieces. l told Bliss Henderson and she said l could have until to-morrow. lsn't that line?

Nobody could get along with him! chorused the three Kliss llridges, in uni- son. lfncle john, the personage of whom they spoke. was a crabbed, ill-tempered. little old man, who lived in an old fash- ioned town in the Rockies. He had money to leave, hut his nieces believed it would he easier to go to Cali- fornia and dig a fortune. than to remain and earn one hy making themselves accept- able' to an old man who was just an old grouch.

I expect you to take charge of every- thing, said he, the servants are miser- able - Servants are mere frauds nowadays! interrupted Ruth. Nothing goes right about the place. Nothing ever goes right. she ventured. Uncle jolm eyed her keenly. This niece's attitude was altogether different from that of the other three sisters. At breakfast the next morning L'ncle john began to scold as usual. Ifggs again, said he. This makes four times this week. I detest eggs. said Ruth. as she pushed aside her plate and rang the bell sharply. Nancy, the cook, a stout good-humored Irish woman made her appearance. Nancy. said Miss llridges. If you send up any more eggs for a month you 'll be discharged. do you hear? But, my dear. I am rather fond of eggs. put in the little old man. One can't eat eggs all the time, said Ruth. Here, Nancy, this coffee- isn't tit to drink! and the toast is burned! and you have forgotten the butter. Let these errors be corrected at once. Nancy departed hurriedly for the kitchen. My Dear. said Uncle jolm. Nancy is a very old servant and- I don't care if she is a hundred. sai-'I Ruth: she must do better in the future. Uncle jolm began to be frightened. He had kept Nancy, Alice and jacob for ten years. XYas it possible that he had scolded them for ten years, only to have this young girl outscold him now? They are mortal, pleaded Uncle john, Let them do their duty then. snapped Ruth. Uncle john atc the rest of his breakfast in silence. Alice, the house maid, was finishing dusting the library when he enter- ed it. Not through yet? growled Uncle john. the frown returning to his brow.

Do you call this gardening? she asked. Uncle jolm, I am astonished that you employ such a careless man. The showers of taunts and reproaches which she- tlung at the poor old man was enough as he observed. to make one's llesh creep, My niece is a young lady of spirit and energy, apologized Uncle jolm, when Ruth had gone back to the house. A lot like you, sir, a lot like yon! said jacob. scratching his head. Like me! said Uncle john. And he stood for nearly ten minutes, staring at the ground. At the end of the ten minutes he spoke two words, and only two: Like - me! There s no knowin' how the master changed, said Nancy in the kitchen. a week or two later. He 's as meek as a lamb and as peaceful as a kitten. Sure, it's just as the young lady told ns. said Alice, when she came down into the kitchen that first morning after the fire was lighted, and told us she was going to try an experiment. VVe wasn't to mind a word she said, 'cause it was just opposite from what she wanted us to do. Her plan has worked like a charm. It had, in truth. Uncle jolm was a differ- ent man. Ruth had relapsed into the original sunny side of her temper, and all the domestic works of the old house seemed to run as smooth as velvet. But Uncle john took all the credit. He never knew that Ruth had taugh him a lesson. 16 THE MUSSUL UNSQUIT kYe can get along very nicely, said he, Now that Ruth has subdued her temper. So Ruth was his heiress and favorite after all, for he always will believe that it was he who formed her character. J. l'. '24, THE PRICELESS DOG OF THE NORTH litllwl' three o'clock one afternoon, in late November, Bruce Halloway, stopped to get a few minutes' rest, before he tackled the last four miles of his trap line. lt looked like snow, and he was un- decided whether to stop at all of his traps, or go straight home. He thought that per- haps he could stop at a few of them and shouldered his gun and pack. As he did this his powerful figure is plainly seen. liroad shouldered, well developed arms and legs, he is a wonderful specimen of the northern trappcr. Although his beard has a week's growth, the curve of his lips, and sparkle of his eyes, denotes a handsome face. Bruce was rather anxious to get home, as lietty, his pretty young wife, would be worried about him if he did not get home by five o'clock at least. He had been gone a week on the line, and lietty knew that be would be home that afternoon or evening if he had had no bad luck or drawbacks. llruce did not worry about his wife because he knew she would be safe with flip zhere to protect her. They had raised Qiip from '1 puppy. lfe was half liskimo dog and half wolf. Gip was very gentle and faithful to Betty and ltruce-. but to strangers who did' not look just right to him, he was as fierce as his father. They had been offered unheard of prices for liip, but would not part with him. He was the only dog they would allow in the house. The others of the dog-team stayed in the doghouse. lt has been espe- cially hard for Bruce this winter, as there had been no snow, and he could not use- the dog-team. liruce found two sable in his traps, and this delayed him somewhat. Then it started to snow, and he decided to visit one more trap. This was one that he had set for a bear. It was about half a mile from the home camp. lf he did not have Bruin this time, he would spring the trap, as it was so late in the season that it would be im- possible to catch him. The wind began to blow fiercely from the northeast. Bruce could hardly see objects a short distance away. He lost the trail but his uncanny woods instinct told him the general direc- tion. He knew he must be getting near home when all of a sudden he stumbled headlong. He stuck out his hands to save himself, but he did not stop when his hands touched the bottom of the snow. He heard the crackling of twigs and gave a cry of horror as he realized where he was going. Snap, went the trap. A sharp pain shot up his left arm. Bruce tried to turn over, but the weight of the trap and his heavy pack, together with the pain, would not allow him to move. He cried for help until he was hoarse, but nobody heard him in that vast wilderness. 'Meanwhile Betty had grown uneasy and had opened the door to look out, but the wind and snow blew with such fury that she had hard work to shut it again. At last she called tiip. He seemed to under- stand what was troubling her and giving a low whine started for the door. Gip put his front paws on the door and scratched vigorously. At last Betty opened the door, and with one bound he was lost from view. Down the trail he bounded. The snow was quiet deep now, there being nearly a foot. This did not seem to bother Gip much. Qn he went. and when he got almost opposite the place where Bruce had been caught in the trap, which was about ten rods from the trail, he stuck his head up high and sniffed. The wind was blowing straight from the direction of the trap. Gip had not lived three years and not know the scent of his master. He made a few bounds and was at the edge of the hole. Bruce's feet just stuck out of the hole. Gip took hold of Bruce's cowhides and pulled as hard as he could. It seemed at first that the tremen- dous weight of Bruce. his pack and the trap would be too much for the dog, but Gip would not give up. He knew that his master was suffering. At last Bruce felt himself going up. Gip had dug down so that his feet did not slip. W'hen he got out THE Ml'SSUl. LTNSQLTIT IT of the hole liruce got the pack free but the trap was there to stay until he could get help. How liruce reached the camp he never knew, lietty heard them coming and opened the door. Bruce fell exhausted in the middle of the floor. After his wife had given him a swallow of whiskey it seemed to clear his mind. Then came a struggle to get the trap free. This was accomplished. but the jaws of the trap had left ugly wounds on his arm. The impact of the trap when it was sprung also broke his arm. lfletty was used to such things, however. and set it as well as any doctor could. After his arm had be-en cared for and Bruce was lying in the bunk, with Betty bathing his head, he called Gip. Gip, who had been lying near the fireplace. with his eyes on Bruce. quickly trotted over to the bunk and put his head up close to l3ruce's. Good old Klip. said Bruce, you are the priceless dog of the uorthf, C. If. Ii., '24. NO TRESPASSING' H O Trespassingf' These were the words that niet Peggy Taylor's eyes as she gazed at the sign. Well, I dou't care whether Herbert Arnold likes it or not. He 's gone fishing, and so he'll never know I've been sitting in his old apple tree. l used to when Uncle john lived here. But since that young Arnold, as dad calls him, has been here he never allows anyone to step on to his land. After saying this she walked swiftly down the path and climbed up into a large apple tree. She seated herself comfortably on a limb and being shut off from all the outside world by a screen of green leaves, began reading her book the name of which was I-ove's Conquest. Peggy had come to a very interesting place when she heard some one whistling. She pulled the branches apart and looked. The whistler was Herbert Arnold, and he was carrying a fish rod and basket. Peggy tried to think of some means of escape, but as there was none she drew her- self all up in the tree and hardly dared to breathe. Arnold sauntered down to the apple tree and sat down beneath it, He took off his hat, stretched out upon the ground and closed his eyes. Peggy looked at him through the leaves and seeing that his eyes were closed :he said to herself. Here is my chance to escape. lf I can only do it without his hearing me. She stepped down upon a strong branch. As she did so several green apples fell down and lauded on Arnold. Ile sat up very erect and muttered, Darn the squirrels. Peggy stepped hack and sat down. Arnold dropped back on the ground when he found that no more apples were coming. Peggy tried again but with no success for that time a shower of apples fell and were fol- lowed by the book. Arnold picked up the book. l-ove's Conquest he read. Then he began to laugh and said. l wonder how long squirrels have been reading books. At that he parted the branches and looked up into the tree. How do you do? Peggy greeted hun, lir-er Good afternoon. he said, lJidn't you notice the- ? VVell Mister. you see, Peggy inter- rupted. l have always been allowed to sit in this tree as much as I liked until you bought this farm and then when you put up that sign I never dared to step onto your land. But I saw you go by today and so I took the opportunity to come here. l'm very sorry if l've destroyed any grass or property of any kind. Arnold looked embarrassed and said, Miss Taylor. you may sit in this tree as much as you care to. Thank you, murniured the astonished Peggy. Cf If. I'., '27. TOO LATE FOR THE TRAIN HIZN Mr, Mann and his wife reach- ed the depot, they gazed in un- speakable disappointment at the receding train, which was just pulling away from the bridge switch at the rate of a mile a minute. Their first impulse was to run after it, but IN THE IXIUSSUI. UNSQUIT as the train was out of sight and whistling for Sagerton hefore they could act upon the thought, they remained in the carriage and sorrowfully turned their horses' heads homeward. Nlr.

She stepped into the street car and was seen no more. XYhen Mr. Mann left the house. all the doors. windows and front gate were left open. The loungers around the depot saw a flushed, excited man with his vest unhut- toned and necktie Hying, running along the platform shaking his list at the train. He had missed it for the seconrl time. lf. lf. II'.. '36. THE SAVING OF BLACK NUGGET'S PAY-ROLL IRI IIROXYN was fifteen years old. and in his Sophomore year of High school.
