Louis Adams Frothingham Deeply sensible of the loss which the Trustees and this School have sus- tained by the death of Louis Adams Frot-hingham on August 23rd, 1929, I desire to place upon record in this Thayer Academy Year Book, dedicated to his memory, my grateful appreciation of his friendship and comradeship. I first remember Louis Frothingham when he captained the Adams Academy ball nine in the spring of 1889. Small boy that I was, I still recall him as a frank, manly sportsman, who played the game cleanly and well and led l1is team to victory. In June of that year he delivered in the Stone Temple in Quincy his elo- quent prize dcclamation which won for him the Adams Gold Medal. I shall never forget his clear and noble utterance on that day, nor his sincere and manly bearing, there and then I longed to follow in his footsteps. In the fall of 1889 Mr. Frothingham entered Harvard College. In 1892 he played upon his college football team. In the spring of his Freshman year he became a member of the Varsity Baseball Team, playing the position of second base. In his Junior and Senior years he was the captain of the team. He was graduated in 1893. Three years later he finished his cou1'se in the Harvard Law School. Im- mediately and almost- thereafter he entered upon the larger field of public service: first as a member of the State Legislature, then as Speaker of the House, overseer of Harvard College, Lieutenant-Governor of the Commonwealth, and finally as the servant of the Nation in the 67th, the 68th, the 69th, and the 70th Congress. Twelve years ago Mr. Frothingham became a member of the governing board of Thayer Academy. Not only was he an able and devoted Trustee, he was a great hearted and understanding friend, steadfast, staunch, and true. However busy he was in his urgent official duties in ilYashington, somehow he always found time, promptly, cheerfully, and faithfully, to consider the welfare of Thayer Academy. He never failed us. In the service that he rendered, in the benefactions that he made with unobtrusive modesty, he lost all thought of self. He had a passionate love for truth, justice and sincerity. He never lost his faith in youth, he always encou1'aged them, spurred them on to greater ambition, and befriended those who needed help. He believed with deep conviction that the test of our democracy is not Hin its capacity to produce goods but in its capacity to produce leadersn. f'Democ1'acy, he said, 'frests on personality . And he unceasingly advocated the largest possible opportunities and the noblest leaders both in the classroom and on the playing field for the development of the finer qualities of youth. As I think in retrospect of his abundant life, dedicated to the public ser- vice, I cannot believe it stops with earth. XVe cannot view such a life as his, with intelligence and appreciation, and not aspire to make our own lives more useful, more unselfish, more staunchly loyal to the service of the school, the college, the state, and the nation.

XYe have tried this year to make the publication worthy not only of the school for which it stands, but also for the memory of the great statesman and trustee to whom we have dedicated it. lVhatever success we may attain in accomplishing this is duc to the cooperation of the staff, the generosity of the Board of Trustees, the untiring efforts of the faculty advisers, and the support of the student body. XVe have bccn greatly aided in Hnanc-ing our book by the friends of Thayer whose advertisements appear on these pages. We trust that they will be fully rewarded for their generosity. May this book, in years to come, ever serve to bind our hearts together by bringing to our minds the happy years spent at our beloved Thayer Academy.

'Way back in 1923 the six years ahead seemed eternity. But now we're over the threshold of 1929, and there are but a few precious weeks before the day when we walk with stately steps, as seniors should, across the campus to receive our long sought diplomas. In studies and athletics our class rank is a thing to be remembered with pride and pleasure. When we we1'e in class three, the boys won the basketball championship, the girls, the hockey. lVhen in class two, the girls captured the basketball championship after a hard fought game with class three. The same year the boys became most notable in the football and baseball fields. They still bring in the honors. NVe started early, in our dramatic career, by giving Master Shylock in the sixth class. Our talent was so overwhelming that with the returns from the production We traveled in a large and ungainly body to Concord and Lexington. 1Vhen we became third classmen, we had a representative, Brooks Dyer, in the Senior Middle play. Then came our own play, The Youngest , which was deemed not at all bad. And in this, our senior year, Charlotte Kimball, Brooks Dyer, Margaret Taylor, Gilbert 1Vhite, and others in the chorus added to our dramatic glories. On various occasions members of ,529 have graced the chapel programs with themes of their own writing. Among the hard won honors accorded was the Lincoln Medallion awarded to John Gowan. Herbert Cleaves' was the local winning paper in the national essay on Why I Should Vote. And his had the distinction of being considered the second best by the state judges. Social activities have not been lacking. Last year we gave our Senior Middle reception, which, as they say, went over bigu. The joint supper meeting of the Hi-Y and the Theta Alpha Club, at which Mr. Booth spoke, was a great success. And now our Senior dance is coming and we predict a topping good time. , Ah, yes, our talent runs in every direction. VVe have among our fold not only actors, writers, athletes, and humorists, but also an artist and a singer. We are amazingly well equipped. We even make excellent janitors-we weep to think that no more can we scurry around and pick multitudinous papers from the campus. . As we pass out through the campus gate-way for the last time as students, we know that the memory of the abiding helpfulness of our instructors and headmaster will be an enduring heritage.

Teddy has a reputation among her classmates for always being ready to do someone a good turn, in spite of her great af- fection for chemistry make-up problems, which she absolutely will not let get more than twenty-five ahead of her, 'tTeddy has abilities which entitle her to a plaee on the honor roll, but she is at times reluctant to let her studies interfere with her other interests.

Warren can debate, accept a nomi- nation, conduct special exercises in the hall,-in short, he can do anything in the line of public speaking. He can also write. We remember with smiles Warren's prosecution of Macbeth, after the style of Cicero. He has other distinctions also. He has been out for track, faithfully every year, sometimes being the whole team. Warren has surely made his mark here at Thayer, and we wish him good luck and success in years to come.

HERBERT MARTIN CLEAVES CBeeD Harvard A man of great probity, wit, and understanding t'Bee Cleaves is probably the most versatile member of our class. As may be seen below, he is treasurer of the class and of the Hi-Y, and president of the Student Council. But besides his financial and executive proclivities, Herb has many talents in other fields. Our cagey field general in the backfield, our debonair lawyer over the footlights, and our logical prize-winner on the topic Why Should I Vote? are all one and inseparable. Bee has also been instrumental in class dances, baseball, tennis, hockey, class meetings, and the adoption of the rule that all people tardy more than once a month must stay after school. His destiny is Harvard, his chosen profession, law, and as for his much heralded claim to oratory, we can only say that the Cleaves' speech of ac- ceptance will live in our memories as the finest example of modesty ever exhibited by a candidate for public oflice.

Now it came to pass that this Ted learned to play basketball like one possessed, which was a discomfort to her opponents. And it also happened that she would wander into the rooms devoted to linguistic studies and there converse with the wise men-and they would marvel at her understanding.

And it came to pass that because of his great powers and strength and smile he was acclaimed by all his fellows. His fame spread even unto the quiet country-side of such places as Holbrook and Randolph. Now, unfortunately, he took up studying, and because of his strong push and mighty swing, all feared his stick in geometry demonstrations. But it came to pass that one day a beloved teacher stood near, and had not that teacher deviated more than one iota, truly she would have been split in twain. Wherefore this 'Boz' gave up geometry.

JOHN WESLEY ADAMS Williams Slow and steady wins the race Seeking new worlds to conquer, this aspiring youth, fresh from a triumph at Brockton High School, came to Thayer, presumably to gain fresh laurels. It is often wondered now, how Brockton maintains a track team without John's assistance. We can see him four years from now topping the list of the world's high jumpers. When not out on the cinders, John spends a goodly portion of his time writing poetry fi la Virgil. Track, 1. EX '29 Charlotte Butterworth is at the Chandler School.

SONNET Under the portals of that ancient arch, they pass, White and blue, in pairs from out the door Where the unthinking footsteps of their class Shall tread in learning's pathways never more. ' Now, warmed by the resplendent mid-June sun, They plant their my by the cloistered wall, And sober now with graduation done, Stand motionless to hear the bugle call, Then, in the lengthening shadows fade away, For school is o'er, and all the year is done. And in the dying embers of the day, They find an old life finished, a new begun. Methinks I see them standing there again Whose memory brings a sad but sweetened strain.

Gordon Baird HISTORY OF CLASS H We entered the open portals of Thayer Academy in September, 1924, with a bit of trepidation, but with much happiness, when we realized that we had passed the entrance examinations. Our fears have been wholly allayed since then, and we love and admire everyone of our teachers who work so hard for us. Since we were 'tFresl1ies7', our pleasures naye been many. As Class V, we began to be noticed, for our boys played football, and the girls took up hockey. Then, too, we had the pleasure of seeing HA Mid-Summer Night's Dream. . As Class HI, our labors increased, for did not geometry and-yes-Cicero, too, confront us? Our class pins, chosen that year, are still bringing compliments to the owners. Sports, too, were not neglected, the boys starring in football and basketball, the girls, in hockey. And now that we are Senior-Midsll, we are wondering if next year can be any more successful than any one of the previous years. This year the boys have made up a large portion of the first team, and the girls almost won the hockey championship. In November our Senior Middle reception was a most gratifying success. Our Senior Middle play, presented in March, was, we are told, a. real credit to Thayer. The play, Pornander lValk by Louis Parker, portrayed costumes and customs of 1805. Of course we are looking forward to next year, when We shall actually be Seniors, but how sad and far away is the thought of leaving dear old Thayer. It is through the efforts made by our own true faculty that We have reached the present heights, and we know they will guide us, urge us, on to victory in the coming year.

F axon Ogden HISTORY Ulf' CLASS III When our eluss graduated from Tlumyerlzuids, we felt very important, and we were su.e' that we would make un impression on ttthose hig'h-hn.t Thayer students , but when we arrived at Thayer, we were over-awed by the size of the rooms, the seduteness of the teachers, und the business like appearance of the students. After ull, we decided, we were not the most important part of the institution. However, during the three yeurs we have been at Thayer, we have enlarged our eluss, und we hope that we have been of some use to the school. We have uehieyed some seliolustie honors, though we hope to get many more in this year and the next two yeurs. The boys have shown they have good material for future football, baseball, and basketball teams. The girls' hoekey this year was the runner-up in the championship hockey game. In the remaining two years, we hope to be the stars, not only in all our sports, but in scholarship and all-round good fellowship.

F rederick Kimball HISTORY OF CLASS IV As We entered Thayer Academy for our second year last September, it seemed good to see all of our classmates of last year. How much older it made us feel not to be the Freshman Class! At our class meeting in the fall we elected our officers and chose Robert Hopkins to be our representative on the Student Council. .This year we started a new language, French. In the conversation, espe- cially, we had many amusing incidents. Our study of Latin became more interesting as We learned to read the old myths in the Roman language. In English we found out how little grammar we really knew, and Worked out the plots and sub-plots of 'fSilas Marnern, Julius Caesarlt, and Abraham Lincoln . Without Miss Emerson's guidance in algebra we surely would have been lost in the tangles of square roots, functions, radicals, and problems. In history We progressed from the barbarian invasions down through the Middle Ages and on to modern times. Some of the boys won letters in football and tennis, and some of the girls Won stars to go With the numerals they Won last year in hockey. Here we are, linishing our second year at Thayer Academy. May We go on with the spirit and high ideals with which we started.

Bradford Walker HISTORY OF CLASS V After our graduation from Thayerlands, a big red-brick mountain loomed up in our path of education. 'Up the path of this mountain of Thayer were huge IOCkS, large and sharp. They bore the names of five subjects, Latin, English, History, Science, and Algebra, with the names of the teachers who were to instruct us in these studies. The rocks were hard for the first few days, but soon we were learning to climb them. Latin seemed the hardest to surmount, but Miss Sleeper patiently helped us until deelensions and translations were easier. With Miss Hoeh we journeyed through the land of grammar and sailed to Treasure Island. In history and science Mr. Johnson made clear to the class the earliest history of the world, and taught us many things in science. The plus and minus signs in algebra confused us at first, but Miss Emerson pointed out a less treacherous route through the tangle of equations. In the autumn the boys of the class played a few outside football games, the girls played one or two games in hockey, and although not highly successful, won their numerals. And now that t'Mid-yearslt are over, we draw a breath of relief and look forward into the future.

He told us about his exciting experiences in the VVOrld XVar, when he was in the Navy. In November a play directed by the seventh grade was presented. It was given in connection with their study of the Pilgrims. Just before the Christmas vacation a program was given by the pupils for the parents. It consisted of the dramatization of Christmas carolsg and it was enjoyed by all the friends and pupils. On Lincolnls Birthday the eighth grade gave a playlet, and a pupil read HThe Perfect Tributen, a short book about Lincoln. The next assembly Was for the observance of Washington's Birthday when the fifth grade entertained us with a very nice lecture illustrated by slides. VVe have just started on geography, so Miss Sleeper, Miss Gemmel, and Mrs. Eggleton gave us very interesting talks about different countries, two of which Were with stereopticon views. i This year we are going to have only one ttEvergreen'l, so we are working very hard to make it the best ever. Another thing of interest is our new building. It is nearly finished and will probably be completed by May first. It will be dedicated with the operetta named 'tThe Stolen Flower Queenf, Mila Eggleston Peggy Wilder Class of '29 42 ' ' , ... 'Q' .-f ...---..

Man for man the team seemed strong, but it showed real power only at times. The first game at Roxbury Latin school resulted in a scoreless tie. The game was evenly played in a drizzling rain which made the field slippery and the ball elusive. Roxbury Latin had the better of the conliiet in the first half, but Thayer clearly outplayed the opponent during the second, barely failing to score. 50 . . . sv- . - 7 T' . .

During the Hrst half, the two teams seemed evenly matched, but in the second, as a result of a steady offensive, two touchdowns were registered by a rejuvenated Thayer team. The first score was made by Capt. Miller on a line plunge off tackle, the other by McCormack who displayed a fine bit of open field running on a reverse play from the twenty-five yard line. In the third game, Thayer was defeated 6-0 at Tabor Academy. After battling through three periods of the game without score, Tabor, in the few minutes of play which remained, scored a touchdown. Thayer had repeatedly held the Tabor team from the goal line. Thayer's offensive play was not working well on the whole, but did show some brilliance in the forward pass department in its one opportunity to score in the second half. The Saint Mark's game was the most thrilling and most satisfactory contest of the season, despite the 13-12 defeat. Saint Mark's scored two touchdowns in the first half, the first as a result of a fast running attack, the other of a forward pass. Thayer completely outplayed its opponent during the second half, matching the two Saint Mark's touchdowns on forward passes from Miller to Noyes. Because of the failure to kick the point after each touchdown, Thayer was defeated. The Moses Brown game at Providence was the most one-sided scrimmage of the season. They had a fast, heavy team, with a decided advantage over Thayer on their own muddy field. Thayer's line could not withstand the sturdy charge of the heavier opponent. Moses Brown blocked a punt, recovered it and scored a touchdown in the first period. After that, they were constantly on the offensive, scoring four additional touchdowns, making the final score 30-0. In the final game of the somewhat disheartening season, Thayer met the fast Lawrence Academy eleven at home. The Thayer team showed great fighting spirit, but went down to defeat by the score of 25-6. The Lawrence attack was too powerful to be checked, scoring a touchdown in each period, while Thayer's only score resulted from a forward pass from Noyes to Aherne. Aherne displayed a remarkable versatility. Captain Miller, after playing hard, steady football throughout the season, emerged from the rough with a broken collar- bone, thus terminating a noteworthy Thayer athletic career. Coach Hincks, upon being questioned, expressed the opinion that while the season was by no means a successful one from the standpoint of victories, it should not be looked upon as devoid of all benefit. After all, it is playing the game for its own sake that counts. In fact the individual who took part in the 1928 season probably gained as much in preparation for life as he would have gained from a season of straight victories--perhaps more. Herbert Lewis, 29. 51 TUNI OR VARSITY JUNIOR LEAGUE 59' has 1 X The 1928 baseball season, if not over successful, was at least notable in many respects. To begin with, the team was ably captained by Dick Dennison, star third baseman, who, throughout- the season, led the team in sportsmanship and baseball ability. The team, however, sustained a heavy loss when Lloyd Hamilton, star pitcher, left school, since the heavy schedule of 16 games was too much for one, or even two moundsmcn to handle properly. The coaching was as usual in the hands of Mr. Hint-ks, while John Gowan filled the ofiiee of Manager. As the schedule began early, practice was started during the spring vacation with an attendance of about twenty boys. Later this was Cut to 12 which composed the personnel of the squad the remainder of the season. Miller and Erwin alternated in the box, French was behind the plate while lNIcCormack, Hutton, Brown, and Capt. Dennison comprised the infield. Herb. Lewis, captain elect. held down left field, and Jim Hayes, Wayne, and Sears made up the rest of the outfield. r '. ,, A n I .Q . ' J ,ak ., , ,vu 'pw at A .. 1 1 Q A M..

Despite the hoodoo, the game proved a dead walkaway, Thayer emerging victorious by the large score of 21-2. Three Thayer pitchers held the opposition to three scattered hits, while our batters on a rampage in the seventh inning scored 7 runs. The next Tuesday the team journeyed to Belmont Hill school to win a 17-2 verdict in the short space of 7 innings. The weather was extremely cold and windy, and the Thayer batsmen, aided by a short right field which terminated in a swamp, made 38 bases on 16 hits. Hayes drove in 3 home runs, while Capt. Dennison accounted for one other. On the morning of Patriots' day we entertained an Alumni team, so-called, on the home field and handed them a 13-3 defeat after some lively batting by Hayes and McCormack in the 7th and 8th inning had put the game on ice. On Saturday the 21st, due to an unfortunate misunderstanding, the Lawrence team did not appear for the scheduled tilt, thus disappointing a large crowd. Another game, with Huntington on the following Tuesday, was cancelled on account of rain. Thursday the 26th, Tufts Freshmen handed us our first defeat. The game was tight and well played throughout, the final score being three to one. A determined Thayer rally in the 9th inning was responsible for our only score and was halted with two on base on Erwin's fly to centerfield after an exciting piece of play. The game with Country Day School on the 28th was drowned after an all day rain, but the postponed Lawrence game was played to a satisfactory con- clusion of 3 to 2 the next Monday. From the outset, the game was tight and after Thayer had scored two runs in the opening innings, it settled down to a pitchers, battle, from which we emerged victorious after squelching a 9th inning Lawrence rally. Wednesday the team journeyed to Dedham, where they handed the Noble and Greenough aggregation an 8-3 defeat. The Dedham boys had things their own way for 6 innings, but the 7th saw the most determined Thayer rally ever staged on a diamond. Aided by cheers from the bleachers, the Thayer batters now for the first time found the opposing pitcher and promptly sent him to the showers, continuing to hammer the relief man during the remainder of the inning. Eleven men went to bat in the inning making 7 hits and 7 runs. This finished the scoring for the day. On Saturday, the 5th of May, the team motored to Moses Brown School at Providence, beating that team 2 to 0. The first Thayer batter got first on an error and home on a wild pitch. Moses Brown never threatened. The rest of the game was scoreless with the exception of a homer by Dick Dennison in the eighth. The next game, the big game of the year, was with Milton Academy. Thayer did well in the first two innings, piling up three runs on three hits, but a Milton rally in the 3rd evened the score. From that time on, for eleven long innings, the game was a masterpiece of defensive play. Not an inning went by without men on base, but never were they allowed to score. The game was finally called in the 14th inning because of darkness, after dragging on for more than 4 hours. During the game 17 Thayer men died on base, and our hits numbered 10 to Milton's 5. 54 , at . . f Y . . . , . . ,::?,,. t . Q., 1 cg .f4,5,-- ,. Y 2. g,.J..,. .A 5 5. ,,lr,:.,.:l.

A if w-x ia:14'!a-I 'ff-3 I, --flfva . The game with Tabor was as loose as the Milton game was tight. During the tilt Thayer made 12 errors, but by superior hitting managed to gain a 15-10 verdict. A remarkable catch by a Tabor center-fielder, and a homer by George French were the only features. . Our next game with Boston Latin started our downward slump. The Boston pitcher allowed us 12 hits but kept them scattered, while his team mates bunched 7 hits off Erwin to win 7-5. On Saturday the 19th, the team went to Groton where they lost to the Groton school layers 4-1. The Groton pitcher had lots of speed, and succeeded in striking out 17 men, while the Groton batters collected 7 hits for 12 bases and 4 runs. Rain washed out the game on Wednesday with the Wellesley High School, and again on Saturday with Saint Marks Both were cancelled. A practice game played on Tuesday with a Harvard class team was also lost. On Tuesday the 29th, Braintree High defeated us in a very tight game played at Thayer, 2-0. The third inning saw the entire scoring when DlArigo hit a double with the bases loaded. Thayer rallies in the 6th and 7th were cut short by some Hne infield play by the High School. Altho the game with Braintree High was the last scheduled game, it was thought best to play another with the Alumni, many of whom had not been represented in the first contest. Dick Ketchum, Shorty Alden, and many other old stars were back, making up a very strong team, nearly all of whose players had seen action at college. The undergraduates got a head start, but the Alumni kept gradually gaining, eventually winning out by a 9-7 score. The team was well-rounded in every field, and with a less exacting schedule might have made the last part of the season as noteworthy as the first. TRACK Track at Thayer last spring got away to a poor start due to the weather and conflicting baseball games. However, some good material was brought to light and the prospects are bright for a good season in 1929. Warren Claff was elected manager, and Ford Cleaves, captain of last year's team, but later Claff took over the duties of captain. .An inter-class meet held on May 3 was won by Room 3. Hathaway and lVayne starred. .A triangular meet was held on May 21 with Braintree and Wellesley High schools. Thayer won with 27M points, Braintree was second with 195 points, and Wellesley was third with 16 points. Hathaway was the high point winner with 13M points. HT A insignia was awarded to Capt. Claff, Hathaway, Noyes, Skaife, and Wayne. In the fall an inter-class meet was held on November 23. Room 1 placed first with 26M points, 25 points went to Room 33 22 points to Room 4. Adams was the high point winner of the meet, copping four first places for twenty points. Claff and Schulze also starred. Numerals were awarded to Capt. Claff, Adams, Gowan, Schulze, A. Smart, and Sprague. We look forward to the season of 1929 with a great deal of hope. In the dashes Capt. Claff, Schulze, and Smart will do their bit, while Adams is a sure point winner in the high jump. Noyes and Skaife will be back as veteran Weight men and Ackermann, Aherne, Gowan, Healy, Sprague, and Earnshaw will be out to fill the other vacancies left by graduation. 55 - 1. . Y Q, A X Qfl .' ff, A x E 'f .Q AHDW A fairly successful season was enjoyed by the Thayer Academy lee Hockey t-earn. Although, due to had iee, only four games were played, the team came through Successfully in two of them. In the first game with the undefeated Wellesley High team, a total absence of previous praetiee proved the undoing of the Thayer team as the 4 to 1 score indicates. After a week of working together, the team was able to down the finely eoaehed Rivers Sehool team, 1 to 0. A smoothly working Thayer team took the measure of our ancient Quiney High rivals by the tune of 4 to 1. At Marion as guests of Tabor Aeademy, the team suffered defeat- in the last game of the season. The game was fiercely contested throughout, but the Tabor defense proved too strong, while their forward line netted 3 goals to our 1. XVith an improvement! of our Thayer rink, we hope to advance our standing in this sport in the future. 56 1 '-in--4 H.wvtl.il.,ms:.

Three years ago this spring, Thayer inaugurated tennis as a sport on its athletic curriculum, under the direction of the Athletic Association. Owing to the fact that Thayer then had no tennis courts, the team was forced to practice and play its games away from home. Through the kindness of Mr. Cornell of Braintree, and the Quincy Club, the team gained access to the Quincy courts. Out of four matches that the Thayer team played they lost the first, tied the second, and won the last two. With the completion of three new tennis courts on the Thayer property, the 1928 season started with a 'fbang . After helping with the finishing touches of the work and practicing with enthusiasm, the team was ready for opponents by the end of April. The members of the team were Capt. Cutler, who injured his knee at the first match so badly that he was compelled to refrain from further play during the season, Manager Sears, Cochrane, Cleaves, Vye, Hub- bard, 1Viner, Bloom, and Nelson. The courts were christened on the occasion of the Hrst match of the season with Huntington School on May 4. Thayer was victorious, winning with a score of 6-0. On May 5, the team accompanied the baseball team to lX1oses Brown School in Providence. Unlike the nine, however, it was defeated, with a score of 1-4. Another defeat followed on May 8 when Thayer played the Country Day School at home. The score of this unsuccessful match was 1-5. But the return match with the same team at Brookline on May 10 proved a victory. Bloom and Vye won their set by default. The best team encountered during the season was made up of Boston University Freshmen. They won every match out of six that was played. Special attention was given to the B. U. first man, a small Siamese student who won from Sears. Thayer again proved victorious in its last game played on the home courts with 1Vellesley High School. The Wellesley team was defeated by two, with a final score of 4-2. In view of such a successful season Thayer may expect big things of the wielders of the racket. Awards were given to the following: David Cutler, Captain Mirffill Htlbbafil Nelson Cochrane Keith QU1H1bY Richard Nelson TUCk91' VYC Robert 1Viner Thomas Sears, Manager Alan Bloom 58 J I I K I n i :fes- 5? u,.u.l,--.u -' 1.

Through the courtesy of the Wollaston and the Stoney Brae golf Clubs the team was able to play home games. Bobby Hutton captained the team which was composed of Dick 1Vood- sum, fmanagerl, Bunny Emerson, Mervyn Vye, Bobby Hopkins, Dud Braithwaite, and Faxon Ogden. The first match with Wellesley High School proved to bc easier than we had expected, and the unfortunate Wellesley was completely whitcwashed. As Natick and Quincy fared no better in the next two matches, it looked as though the team was headed for a victorious season. However, the caliber of the Newton High golfers was a bit too good for us, and after a hard battle we met defeat. Eager to make up for our recent loss, we headed for the distant Dummer Academy and enjoyed a well earned victory. The next match with Exeter Academy was a thrilling one, but we fell on the short side of the score. In a return match, Newton met with less success than in the previous one, and our fighting spirit netted us a tie with this flashy team. Quincy and Wel- lesley met with defeat in their return matches, ending a most successful season for the Thayer boys. In the future we hope that golf will be recognized officially as a school sport which has brought Thayer into close contact with some of the notable Schools and Academies in New England.

SENIOR MIDDLE DANCE The Class of '30 held its dance November 27 at the Cochato Club, which was attractively decorated in the class colors. Although the floor was quite crowded, the warm dancers seemed to enjoy themselves. One of the novelties of the evening was a cut-in dance, aided by a flapper doll, which the holder handed to his nearest left hand neighbor. HI-Y AND THETA ALPHA CLUB f'How to have a good time was well illustrated by the joint meeting on February 28 of the Hi-Y and Theta Alpha Clubs. First there was a banquet to put all in high spirits. Miss Gemmel spoke, as she always does, to the point. Our old and ever welcome friend, Charles Brandon Booth, gave a talk long to be remembered by those who heard it. All proceeded to the girls' gym to settle the delicious meal by informal dancing. Time flew because all worries of school were forgotten, until someone noticed the hour, and then- 66 ' Y!!

Ethel Douglass The Theta Alpha Club was founded by the class of 1927. It is an organiza- tion of the girls of the Senior Class to bring the girls together in friendliness. The Theta Alpha Club of 1929 was organized in October, 1928. It, started its meetings of the year with a party given to the girls of the Freshman Class. Everyone enjoyed nieeting the new girls, and the ties between the two classes were greatly strengthened. At the meetings in the winter, the Club was entertained by interesting talks given by Miss Allen and Miss Gennnel in which they described their experiences in European travel. In February the Theta Alpha Club held a joint meeting with the Hi-Y Club. They enjoyed a delicious supper, and listened to an inspiring address given by Mr. Charles Brandon Booth. This was followed by informal dancing. The Theta Alpha prograni forthe rest of the year includes a card party in April, and other interesting entertainnients. 295 1 2 1 fix, i f X 6111 w g 1111 X ' 11 15 1 1 2 : 2 .

A., X L- HL .I :Ji W.'.s'..f f.'v'.'i11vn.'lx --f :J W Among the activities carried on by the Hi-Y club may be mentioned Faculty Night, which was observed on January 22. The joint meeting with the Girls' Club was held in the girls' gymnasium February 28, at which Charles Brandon Booth, New England Regional Director of the Big Brother and Big Sister Federation, was the principal speaker. In early March, a Hi-Y delegation of students represented the Academy at the preparatory boys' conference at Yale University. It was the second largest delegation at the conference. Among the various speakers that the club has heard this year are: Roy Coombs, Massachusetts Secretary of the Y. M. C. A. and George XVorkman, New England Secretary of the Christian Associations in Preparatory and Public High Schools. At this time something also should be said about Jim Hardy , our club sponsor, and Mr. Southworth, who have at all times proved two loyal and faithful friends without whose cooperation our activities would be impossible. .The purpose of the Hi-Y club is to extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. The club has in this, its initial year, tried to make good its pledge. The results have not been so out- standing as might have been wished, but the club feels that in a sense it has promoted fellowship, loyalty, and ideals in its members and throughout the school. The Hi-Y club represents a unique experiment in Thayer. Its future existence seems assured, but whether or not it can be of permanent value to the school will depend upon the responsibility, the integrity, and the ability of the succeeding members. CHRONICLES On June 9, Thayer Academy held its annual graduation exercises. Although the morning was foggy, old Sol decided to show his face by the time the school was ready to march to the Town Hall, where the exercises were held. The Invo- cation was given by the Rev. J. Caleb Justice, following which the Rev. Henry H. Crane delivered an address on 'tGraduation . October 11. Today in chapel,.the boys who went to Denmark this summer told us of their experiences. Jack Kelley and George Sherman had many interesting and amusing instances to relate. J ames Healy, the third member of the group, was the cameraman. Later in the year, he is going to show us the pictures which he took. Election of the Student Council-October 19.

Mr. Southworth introduced as the speaker, Henry Beston Sheahan, a World War veteran and a well known author. Mr. Sheahan gave us a very vivid and impressive picture of the War at sea. Music was pro- vided by two alumnae of Thayer, Natalie Cornell, soloist, and Eleanor Fortin, accompanist. At this time also, Mr. Southworth read a tribute to the Hon. Louis A. Frothingham, a trustee of Thayer, who passed away during the summer. The program was closed with the reading of the names of our seven gold star heroes, the Honor Roll of Thayer Academy. December 21. At this morning's chapel, Miss Chellis awarded the letters and numerals for field hockey. Mr. Hincks made the football awards. Our Christmas exercises were held during the last period today.

The Hampton Quartet sang four groups of fascinating old Negro spirituals. Between the groups Mr. James Gregg, president of the Institute, Mr. Ketcham, the field secretary, and a recent graduate of Hampton, spoke briefly. The program was a very enjoyable one. January 25. The 170th anniversary of the birth of Robert Burns was commemorated in chapel this morning. Miss Gernmel told us, in her own interesting way, about the visit she made to Scotland last summer. Then Mr. Muir, Superintendent of Schools in Quincy, read us selections from Burns' poems. It was difficult t-o follow the Scotch pronunciation but Mr. Muir simplified this by explaining the lines to us. January 28. r Exercises were held today in memory of Miss Anna Boynton Thompson. They opened with a selection entitled My Rosary played by the school trio. John Gowan, who remembered Miss Thompson, gave us his impressions of her. The visiting speaker was Mrs. Blanche Hazard Sprague, a graduate of Thayer, who had known Miss Thompson intimately. The assembly closed with two vocal solos by Phyllis Crooker. Febmary 12. Lincoln memorial exercises were observed this morning in chapel. The Lincoln essays were read. Jeanne Morrison, who won first prize, chose as her subject, Lincoln's Years of Doubt . Jeanette Langley, who received second prize, wrote on Lincoln as a Literary Man. The third prize was awarded to Jean Baker who wrote 'KLincoln, the Lawyer . Janet Weil and Julia Knight were given honorable mention. Febmary I4. We had as our guest today, Dr. William Price, of Cincinnati, Ohio. Dr. Price, who is associated with the Nash Clothing Company, gave as his topic, f'The Golden Rule in Business. He pointed out to us in a very forceful manner how important and beneficial this principle is in business. The employee who is treated on this basis loves and respects his employer, and works doubly hard for him. The Golden Rule should be applied not only in business, but also in our daily lives. M arch, 4. The Thayer family today had the privilege of listening to President Hoover's inaugural address. At twelve o'clock the student body gathered in the assembly hall to listen to the program direct from Washington, D. C. We were fortunate in having a fine radio installed in the assembly hall for this occasion. This is the first time that Thayer has had as fine an opportunity as this, and we hope that future classes may be as fortunate as we were. M arch 8. The Hi-Y was in charge of the chapel exercises this morning. David Thayer, John Gowan, Ben Rogers, and William McCoombs, four of the boys who rep- resented Thayer at Yale last week-end, told us of the Hi-Y conference. The boys heard many interesting speeches while they were there. We were glad to know Thayer had the largest delegation at this conference. March 15. We were pleasantly surprised this morning with an informal talk by Mr. Lock from Technology. Mr. Lock gave us some very valuable advice on how to determine and prepare for our life work.

The Senior Middle clraniatics was supported by the orchestra, which played with unusual ability. This was the next to the last appearance of the orchestra in public, the last being at the coming senior graduation exercises. The orchestra Wishes to express special appreciation to Mrs. Kells and to the school for their efforts in maintaining and standardizing this year's orchestra. 74 THE GLEE CLUB The Glee Club of Thayer Acadcniy, because of a delay iII arranging a daily schedule, was not definitely organized lllltll the first of December. However, YVllCI1 once formed, the Club showed excellent programs, and by the Christmas vacation was in fine preparation for presciiting a program before the student body. Under the supervision of the director, Mrs. Kells, the Club added another attraction to the Christmas assembly in a series of French carols of the sixteenth CCI1l,lll'j' period.

Among these was UGO Down Moses , a negro spiritual which became very popular with the group because of the recent visit of the Hampton singers. Among other interesting songs were included HWhen the Banjo Plays by NVilson, and 'The Cossacksn by lVilliams. The banjo accompaniment by Brooks Dyer and Grace Neal served to make the 'tBanjo Song even more melodious. TlIe group has shown much enthusiasm and has II121ClC plans for broadcasting from station VVEEI some time in May, tlIe date being as yet undecided. This coming event promises to be one of great interest. Pauline Davenport, '30, 75 A 65' G.-in Q53 'p fx N.. I U l l 6 It ,N .tx X E-SMEQN f PQMANDER WALK The audie11ce which greeted the Senior Middle players on March twenty- second and twenty-third found themselves dwelling in 'tPomander XValk-out Chiswick wayn-in 1805. The atmosphere created was one of charming quaintness-the five little English brick houses with bits of gardens of sweet peas in front, the Hagpole, the well kept hedge, the swinging gate, the great elm tree with an inviting bench at- its foot-and most important of all, the gazebo. Ah yes, the gazebo'-that quaint little summer seat-had quite an important part in the play. Young Jack Sayle, a lieutenant, in search of the old admiral, Sir Peter, finds Marjolaine sitting under the elm-t-ree. A hit of time passes and several things happen, as one might surmisefthen to the gazebo. Lord Otford comes to Pomander Walk and there finds Lucy Pryor-then to the gazebo. Barbara takes Marjolaine into her confidence-in the gazebo. Ah yes, the gazebo hears a good deal of what is going on in secret in Pomander Walk. The setting seems so natural-the much talked of Eyesore, the Muffin man and the Laniplightcrfafternoon tea under the elm-Semlmronius and the thrush. The circumstances are so humorous and also pathetic-Mrs. Poskett wooing Sir Peter with the help of lVliss Ruth Pennymint, hir. Brooke-Hoskyn, the aristocrat city toastniastcr and his unseen wife, Selina, the Rev. Doctor Jacob Sternroyd and his imposing volumes, Mr. Pringle, the violinist, teacher of Marjolaineg Jim, the old sea sailor right ready to help Nanette, and the Hon. Caroline Thring with her lorgnette, Jane, the obedient and submissive maid of the Hon. Brooke-Hoskyn. Throughout the play, Jack and Marjolaine endeavor to meet and marry secretly-it is a hard job with so many inquisitive neighbors and such watchful parents. But much to their surprise it is easily accomplished in the end. For Marjolaine's mother, Madame Lachesnais, a widow, is the former Lucy Pryor with Whom Lord Otford, Jackys father, a widower, was in love.

My dear Mr. 1Vay: March 4, 1929. You ask for something about myself for your Alumni Notesu. Possibly the most worth-while item is this: Since 1911 I have been principal of the Hayward Union High School, at Hayward, California, the school has an en- rollment of 333 boys and 330 girls, 37 teachers, site of 23 acres admirably located, cost of plant about 3500,000. Using our school radio and announcing system this morning we allowed the entire student body in their several enrollment rooms to listen in on the inaugu- ration exercises at Washington. We found it a most interesting occasion. As Californians we are naturally strong for Hoover. 1Ve believe that his experience and his ideals eminently Ht him for Presidential leadership. Best wishes for the high success of the old Academy. Cordially, F. P. .Iohnson. 1886 Horace T. Fogg graduated from Harvard College, A.B. in 1890, and from Harvard Law School, LLB. in 1893.

April 8, 1929. Gentlemen:- It is rather unusual for one to write of one's aecdniplishments. Yet since you request it, I submit briefly my history since graduating from Thayer in 1909. After a mediocre career lasting seven years with a Boston concern, I became associated with the Firestone Tire dz Rubber Company in 1916, starting as a salesman. Two years later I opened their Providence, Rhode Island branch as manager, and have acted in that capacity ever since, building up a million dollar business in Rhode Island for our company. I have been very active in the Rotary Club of Providence, having been a director several terms and having been a vice president and later president of the Club for two years. I am serving at present as a director of this Club. I am a director in the Automobile Club of Rhode Island, a member of the Provi- dence Chamber of Commerce, a member of the Providence Safety Council, frequently presenting safety talks over the radio for the Safety Council. I am a member of the Metacomet Golf Club and a charter member of the Conanicut Club, an exclusive country club now under construction on Conanicut Island in Narragansett Bay. lt was my privilege a year or two ago to return to Thayer to address the student body. I know of no occasion which has given me a greater thrill than this event. and I hope to repeat the experience on some future occasion. Such has been my history. If it is in keeping with the kind of material you require-fine. If not, no harm has been done. Sincerely yours, Harry J. Aitken. CLASS OF 1924 Harlan Paige graduated from M. I.

Her large hazel eyes, though usually tragic, glowed with an inner light. The spring sun enveloped the peaceful Canadian countryside in its glorious rays, warming the old village below and sparkling in the tranquil river. Suddenly there was a hoarse, commanding cry, 'tMarthe , Marthelf' The young woman started, her arms fell in a gesture of hopelessness to her sides, her head drooped. Though she did not quite realize it, she had been called back from what she blindly longed for, freedom, to what she blindly endured, tyranny. Turning, she listlessly walked toward the small, lonely house behind her. Marthe , Mart-he! The harsh summons broke in on the girl's reverie. She hastened her steps, and soon entered the kitchen. A woman, about seventy, upon whom the passing years had traced their mark, was sitting in the corner. Her face. in a shadow, was lined and cruel, though it could be attractive in a rather terrible way, and the dark, sunken eyes flashed with anger. She was not a small woman, but the flesh hung loosely on her bones. She raised her head as the young woman entered. Her voice was harsh and rasping. Marthe, why are you so late? Oh, it was so beautiful, Grand-mamanf' t'Beautifulll' the old woman sneered. Get about your work, Marthel The beautiful! She laughed. It was a terrible, cruel laugh, a laugh that exposed the bitterness of many years. The young woman turned without a word, and busied herself with the daily drudgery. Jean says the floods are soon due. The girl spoke hesitantly, and shud- dered. t'Oui, the floods! Twenty years ago they took your mother, and left me, a poor, weak old woman, with an infant on my hands. The bon Dieu! As she spoke the woman's voice broke into a falsetto which ended with a bitter laugh. All thoughts of the beautiful spring morning vanished, and tears of despair welled up in Marthe's eyes as she raised a silent prayer that some day things would change. Thus she went through the day, blindly rebelling against her lot. As Marthe's spirits lost their brightness, so did the spring morning lose its beauty. The soft, blue sky became a. vast leaden canopy. The dark trees made grotesque silhouettes with their madly waving branches. The tranquil stream be- came a seething cataract. The little house, alone on the cliff, seemed almost too frail to stand against such a tempest. The rain fell in torrents, slashing the trees, pounding on the cliff, and swelling the black river to twice its size. The floods had come, as Jean had predicted. There was a tempest inside the house as well. Marthe was preparing the evening meal while her grandmother sat muttering, and grumbling. An under- current of seething emotions seemed to fill the room. During the night and the next day the storm did not abate. In the late afternoon Marthe made her way to the shed to feed the cattle. To her dismay she found a young calf missing. She ran back to the house. Why didn't you count them when they came home?f' screeched the old woman. HBut it was so dark,-so windy , the girl protested dazedly. 84 . ev- .

Her eyes flashed and her body trembled. With childlike obedience the girl left the house. Her coarse garments were soon plastered to her slender body, her thin shoes were covered with mud. The lone figure picked its way through the darkness, blindly groping, till at last she reached the bottom of the cliff. She pushed back her streaming hair from her face, and looked about her. The roaring river was tearing its mad way over a new course just beyond. Back in the house, the old grandmother was sitting, staring at the door. Her hands trembled, her lips quivered. As in a vision she saw a figure, dwarfed by the elements, hurled by the wind and the rain, trying to pick its way down the cliff. The girl seemed to be searching for something. She had reached the edge of the river, which was pounding in a relentless current. As she stood there the carcass of a calf floated by, and with a quick move, a sudden lurch, the girl was in the flood. The swirling waters closed over her, and tore madly onward, dragging their two victims. The old woman jumped to her feet, her face distorted with emotion, tears flowing unheeded down her cheeks. 'tMon Dieu! Mon Dieu! Impossible! I have driven her to this! Her whole feeble body shook with sobs. She fell on her knees, supplicating heaven to forgive her gross selfishness, her incredible cruelty. In a sudden flash of illumination she saw all the injuries, all the crass insults she had heaped upon her granddaughter. She should have allowed Marthe to go to the city with her aunt many years ago. But no, she had not listened, and now Marthe was-Non! Bon Dieu! It was impossible! She would go and find her. She arose, her face transfixed, but- suddenly she sank back into her chair, her eyes staring straight ahead, her hands still. The forgiveness she was to seek had been denied. As her grandmother sat thus, Marthe, at the river's edge, heard the faint cry of an animal. Following the sound she came to the tiny calf, which was caught under a fallen limb. She wrapped the trembling creature in her shawl. As she looked down at her burden her heart was suddenly filled with bitterness toward the woman who had forced her to endure such hardships. She realized the years of suffering to which she had so blindly bowed. She vowed that she would no longer humbly submit to a tyrannical old woman. Making her way through the wind and mud, with her head held high and a new purpose in her eyes, she gained the top of the cliff. As she entered the kitchen no word greeted her. She placed her burden by the stove, then turned to face her grandmother. The head was resting against the back of the chair, the body slumped, the sightless eyes staring. Marthe, with an overwhelming shock, realized that the form was lifeless. She began to cry hysterically, not because of grief, but because of bitterness toward the fate that had caused her grandmother to die before she had realized the girl's sufferings. It almost- seemed as if she might strike the motionless figure in her anguish. But stepping nearer, tense and trembling, she suddenly recog- nized a change. The lines of the face were softened, and tears, real tears, glistened on the cold cheeks. The young woman stood tall and still. Gradually she felt her bitterness, her hatred, fall away, leaving her strangely quiet and alone. Kneeling beside the chair, she gently kissed the forehead of the dead Woman. Forgiveness, after all, had not been denied.

Both, however, were brought forth by the action of quarrying rugged stone. At first little thought was given to stone quarrying, but this industry has added great fame to that first little settlement. Syenite, which is the character of the stone quarried in Quincy toriginally Braintreel is composed of quartz, felspar, and hornblende. Syenite received its name from the city of Syene, Upper Egypt, where large quarries of this pinkish granite can be found. Syenite for building and monumental purposes has been used from a very remote period, as can be seen in structures in Thebes, a city famous for its antiquity. ' The first stone quarried in Quincy was for the construction of King's Chapel, Boston in 1752. The material was nothing more or less than rough boulders, split in the most primitive and curious manner. It was accomplished by building a tire upon the stone to heat it and then cracked by letting large, iron balls fall upon it. This was the first attempt to make use of the great wealth stored in these quarries. Shortly after King's Chapel, the old John Hancock house in Quincy was built of the same kind of stone. This was the first private house to be built of granite. By this time the settlers were beginning to realize the value of the many uses of this impenetrable material. In 1774, the old powder house which stood inwhat was then West Boston, was constructed of stone. Its walls were seven feet in thickness. Until the early part of the nineteenth cent-ury, not much attention had been given to stone quarrying for the purpose of carrying on a stone business, for there was no great demand for large quantities of stone, and if there had been, it would have been almost impossible to produce material because of the lack of proper apparatus and machinery for lifting and hoisting large blocks of ranite. g However, in 1822, the question came up in regard to erecting a monument on Bunker Hill, in commemoration of a great victory. After the design of the stone structure had been agreed upon, the next question of importance was the selection of suitable material. Mr. Willard, who had been selected to supervise the construct-ion of the monument, set to work immediately at this task. He declared that this was a most diflicult and laboriousundertaking for the reason that stone in the form of large blocks for building purposes was little or not at all known in this country. i ' After having walked nearly three hundred miles, criticallyexamining quar- ries in various places, Mr. Willard finally decided to use Quincy granite. He declared that Quincy syenite was the best for color, durability, texture, and other qualities desired of stone for the erection of this monument. The quarry approved by Mr. Willard is called the Bunker Hill Quarry. ' The opening of this quarry led to the discovery of other valuable quarries, which had remained untouched since the creation of the world. It was also the cause of the building of the first railroad in America.

This experiment of Mr. VVillard in opening new stone quarries added millions of dollars to the wealth of individuals in Quincy and made the Quincy quarries famous far and wide. In the latter years of the nineteenth century, a great part of the syenite quarried in Quincy was used for cemetery and monumental work, which was then the principal business of the town. So noted had this granite become that it was sent to all parts of the country and even to South America and Europe. Not only has the advancement in quarrying and uses of Quincy granite been great, but the various improvements in the manner of quarrying and finishing have also been remarkable. The first rude, primitive method of heating the stone and dropping large iron balls upon it was followed by that of digging a deep hole in the ground under the large boulders, filling the hole with brush, and setting fire to it. When the stone became sufficiently heated, it was broken into various parts by the use of large, heavy sledge hammers. Great was the excitement when the experiment of splitting stone with wedges proved successful. Up to 1825, granite was rarely used for anything but rough work, as cutting and dressing stone mouldings was practically unknown here. In the construction of buildings at that time, the walls were carried up in regular courses of stone, merely squared, and most generally crowned or finished wit-h a cornice of wood. The first large stones quarried in Quincy were those taken for the Unitarian Church in 1828. They were hammered with a pean hammer. The task must have been very laborious with such a primitive instrument. The old red chalk lines, by which the stone was lined off, can be seen today. ' About 1831, the brush or axe hammer was invented. Although it was improved upon later, it was a great aid to stone cutters at that time. An im- provised method of blasting was a tremendous advantage in splitting stone. In 1877, Henry Barker and Sons constructed at their own stone works, a sawing machine which was the first of its kind in constant use in the United States. By this means stones could be sawed out in the same manner as boards. The process of polishing stone is a revival of an Egyptian system. The polished surface is much more beautiful to look at, than the dull, and absolutely impenetrable. Although there is great competition in the stone industry today, Quincy granite is little surpassed. Its bold, sturdy texture seems to exemplify the spirit of those early settlers, who were among the first leaders of our country. Now, Quincy granite is used mostly for monumental work, and in this a most distinc- tive part is played by the polished Quincy granite. The appreciation of its use has increased from year to year till now some of the quarry holdings are Worth from twoto five million dollars, and as a prominent Quincy man has said, The Quincy Granite Quarries are Acres of Diamonds.

And who was this new man in the White House?- Abraham Lincoln, a backwoods lawyer, a great, gaunt giant of a man, who was a master story teller and could write with an amazing force and power. Polite Washington society stared its disapproval of his uncouth manners and whispered scandal behind raised teacups. Ofiice seekers, thinking him easy prey, besieged the White House in hordes clamoring for attention to their petty wants. As the weeks went by, the problems confronting the nation grew keener and the situation more acute. Faced by an hostile Congress and a cabinet over-con- scious of its own assumed superiority, the guidance of the nation during the horrible years of war and suffering inevitably to come, was an heroic task. Would the new president emerge triumphant or a failure? The chasm between the North and the South was daily widening, but the crisis was yet to come. South Carolina, the belligerent leader of the secessionist states, demanded the possession of Fort Sumter. The government at XVashington was in a quandary, and Lincoln called the Cabinet into conference on the grave situation facing the administration. On this meeting depended the course of the nation-war or peace. Lincoln saw this, and the clouds of impending war, more clearly than any man present. The Cabinet was divided, it feared the results of sending aid to the besieged fortress and it feared to unleash the war spirit of the North, but one thing it could not realize was that there was no time to compromise. The Cabinet voted to abandon the fort-and to compro- mise. Lincoln, the statesman, farsighted and wise in the ways of men, alone saw the folly of this decision. To him, it would be admitting to the South the su- periority of the state to the nation. His decision to override the opinion of his advisers clearly showed the Cabinet that they were dealing with no weakling. Seward, the Secretary of State, and in his own opinion by far the most brilliant statesman in the country, flared up in anger at Lincoln's apparent stupidity. In his blind passion, he wrote Thoughts for the Presidentfs Consideration , a paper full of veiled insults directed at Lincoln and containing a bold plan to avert civil war by introducing a foreign quarrel to hold people's attention until the storm blew over. But Lincoln was too great a man to be harmed by petty injuries like these, and forgiving the insults, he tore up the plan. Not even the hostility of the Cabinet could deter his purpose, and within a few days a relief force was on its way to Sumter. The result of the siege is history. Throughout the North spread the call for Volunteers, and recruits, filled with a magnificent war fervor, poured into Washington expecting a short and glorious campaign. Congressmen blatantly pressed their theories for an all conquering advance on Richmond. Only the man in the White House, a great and lonely figure, realized the enormity of this thing and the responsibility that was his. As the soldiers marched past the window of his study, he saw the long, drawn-out horror and bitterness of a civil war, the disagreements, the nation wide sorrow, and the heavy problem of reconstruction following on the heels of war. The army was an ill-equipped, untrained mass, eager for a chance to show its mettle in a battle, the generals were old men who lacked the zeal and vigor for a new campaign. Then, before the raw recruits had even learned to shoulder their 89 05 vigi, 1 . - 5.1.1 gg ',i,4Ag:, - Y-1. 1:,j.f,-.mf X 2 Ny xzlrn ylzly-1wA, ip-:lt 4, A-72715, - fl '-f,K.',4-rkrrlhfik ' 'Z nah. s..!

Q Q MPP' ,mn f guns, the over-anxious congressmen had rushed them off to battle and defeat at Bull Run. Confusion reigned in lVashington and only the President, calm and strong in the knowledge that a long war was inevitable!for a disease of long standing cannot be cured in a moment-was left to carry along' the panic- stricken government on his broad shoulders. He had prepared himself for this gigantic burden. The first few months of the war ripened into a year fraught with anguish and failure for the North. The government- seemed weak and tottcringg Congress clamored for action, and the state of foreign affairs grew daily more involved and threatening. The Abolitiouists demanded freedom for the slaves, but though Lincoln despised the inhuman brutality of slavery, he knew the time was not yet ripe for such a far-reaching' step. At present the principle must be secession, slavery could not be touched on. The time for slavery to become an issue in the war was, as he clearly saw, yet- to come. At this time Lincoln was undoubtedly the most unpopular man in the United States. The newspapers ridiculed him, Congress openly talked of his failure, yet little did they know what the future held in store. Lincoln at last saw the path clear and straight before him. The country was dissatisfied with the progress of the war, and emancipation was now neces- sary as a war policy. At last, the years of doubt were ended, and ahead through the gloom of War could be seen the final triumph, for Lincoln, the statesman, was not a failure. Jeanne Morrison, '31, BLESSINGS Sing me a song! What joys are bound in this, The sport of tired minds Since time began.

I see him now as he was that spring afternoon, treading majestically the soft turf. He was old, to be sure, and had nearly completed his alloted spang yet his eye was so clear and penetrating, his walk so stately, that one never thought of his age. His large form had lost none of its supplenessg in fact-, maturity favored his majestic walk and manner, as one could easily see when he walked gracefully to and fro with bent head, seeming lost in contemplation of the grass beneath his feet. As I sat in my arbor enjoying the spring sunshine, I was tempted to call him from his musing, yet something in his absorbed gaze as he paced back and forth seemed to forbid. In fact there seemed to be a dignified aloofness in his stately walk. I felt a little disappointed, for he had so often joined me in my afternoon stroll, or kept the whole family company beside the huge open fire in the evening, since he was dearly beloved by all of us. Today, however, he was not the same. I could feel suppressed excitement in the keenness of his glanceg and I thought he listened attentively once or twice as he turned his head toward the thicket beyond my arbor. Suddenly he paused, looking very intently in that direction. Slowly he advanced without a glance toward my retreat, although he passed within a few feet- of me. From where I sat, I could see nothing but sunshine and checkered shade, and the brilliant hues of the spring flowers. All was quiet except for the chirping of the birds in the low bushes. Suddenly a shrill cry rent the stillness. It seemed to hold a note of agony or terror, I could not tell which, and came from the direction in which His Majesty had gone. For a breathless moment or two I waited while everything was again deathly still except for the whisperings of Nature. Urged by a strange misgiving, I waited no longer, but sped out of the arbor to the thicket, just in time to rescue a beautiful oriole caught by the Wing in the huge jaws of His Majesty, my beautiful silken-haired Persian eat. With a thankful heart, I Watched the bird soar into the blue with a warning cry to his mate, and I turned to find that my beauty had disappeared toward the house, to be appeased, no doubt, by the saucer of cream which would surely be waiting for him just inside the door. Phyllis Crooker, '29. THE RIVER AT TWILIGHT The lazy river arnbles along in the twilight, The crimson of parting day still lingering in its dark waters. Tinkling water drips from the paddles As we glide along-quietly, quietly. The warm breath of summer brings to our ears The call of nesting birds And the croaking of herons. We wind our way up river- Softly, softly, without a word spoken, For the presence of God is felt- The silence cannot be broken.

'KHOLTV' says he, His this any IVAY to go JOSLIN' people around?,' GO'WAN, said I, KENT you see I'm riding? 'WVELL MAN, youlre within the city limits, said he, 'tbut come along and I'll show you the town. He led me down a LANE and into a square which was filled with STORRS. f'Just tRY AN' find another place OS GOOD as this! he boasted. He first took me to a DYER who was MARCELing hair and then to a BAKER who ran a BOOTH where he sold WHITE bread and BROWN. He was a good cook, and asked me: UWOODSUM bread be agreeable to you? But he must have made it of pepper ELSA cement since it gave me a PAINE. I asked my guide if there were any more STORRS in town, and he replied: HOh, yes, MANN, a TAYLOR, a MILLER, a WAL DEOKER, and a SMITH. I asked him to visit the latter, but he said that the SMITH was quite temperamental and spent most of the time attending dances so he did not want me to make a FAUX pas. I thanked him, and we went to see the MILLER, but sad to say, that person was away attending a football game. Coming back, my guide proved quite a WALKER but had enough time to show me the MASSEY DAVENPORT factory, the FULLER date refinery, and the Masonic TEMPLE with big BEN on top. Upon asking my friend about the city government, he informed me that as the town was not large a man by the name of OLEAVES served as mayor, chief of police, and dog-catcher. I also gleaned that the local undertaking establishment was in the hands of a party named RUGGLES. While on the sidewalk I suddenly recognized an old acquaintance. MAE LORD! it's LEWIS , I shouted, shaking his hand. HHOWE are you, anyway? He proved to be in fine health, but as he was hurrying home for dinner with the family, our talk was short. After spending the afternoon in this delightful little town whose name I learned was SOUTH WORTH, my guide took me NORTHward out of the square towards some BARNES with a PORTER who was very fLEETE. Along the way the birds were OAROLing and the flowers were BLOOMing. When we reached the BARNES, the PORTER went HAYWARD, but we con- tinued our journey, following some BROOKS until we arrived at a BEACH whose WATERS were rippling gently. UNEAL down and drink , said my guide, but as I did, a voice said: Awake, SLEEPERH. Everything vanished, and I awoke. J. U. G. 92 4-.--. , I ' ' ' . 1, , , A . V.-,.,L,5..C4Ax, .

PROBLEMS UP TO DATE As a timely suggestion to the mathematics department, we move they give the problems more appeal, by supplying an up-to-date interest. Some examples follow below: 1. Work Problem. If A does his homework in 3 hours, B, in 2 hours, and C, in an hour and a half, how long will it take them if they work together? 2. Digit Problem. If a pupil's report card average consists of two numbers, the first 4 less than the second, find out what chance he has of passing. 3. Arithmetic Progression. The many-headed Hydra of mythology is reputed to have grown two heads every time one was cut off. With 100 heads to start with, how many would it have had after Perseus took 47 hacks assuming them to be 7511 effective? 4. Geometric Progression. ' If tl1e baseball team breaks 2 bats the first week, 4 the second, 8 the third, and so on, how much money will be spent for bats in a 7 weeks' season at 31.50 per bat with 1011 discount? 5. Probability. If there are 27 people in a class and 8 deficiency slips to be given out, find the ratio of probability for any one pupil. 6. Time, Rate, and Distance. If a piece of chalk traverses the distance of 22 feet in 1M seconds, how long will it take to diagonally cross the study hall, whose dimensions are 66 by 25 feet? 7. Unclassified. If the average attendance at school is 247M, who is the half-wit? BLACK LIST I think a person most defunctive Must have invented the French subjunctive. Another professor who makes me weary Is the man who dug up the Atomic theory. VVhile as for the one who invented Trig., His place is surely in the brig. It's lucky Anthony felt so When he conseripted Cicero, Or else we'd have to read some more Of his delightful Latin lore. Another of our present pests Is the man who makes out intelligence tests.

There is the humorist who would have posterity know that his joke made them smile as they never smiled before - and never should again. In every group there is also the this-is-my-firsbserious-offence member. For groups are groups - that is their glory - all sorts and conditions of mind. But we calm the provolcateur humorous and make glad the glum. The result is a group photograph that is forever a prize and a joy. All this is an essential part of our profession.
