How doubly im- portant these four years at Thayer seem, as we look back on them now. They have been happy and profitable, too. As American youth, facing the unpleasant, but not impossible, task of fighting to keep Democracy alive, we can now see the value of these preparatory years. The very aspects of Democracy, which we are striving so diligently to preserve, have been instilled in us during our stay at Thayer. To our minds it seems that Thayer in itself is a nucleus of Democracy. To do things not because we are commanded to, but because we want to do them of our own free will -- this is the feeling with which our headmaster and faculty have inspired us. Under their able direction we have undertaken and accomplished such pleasant tasks as our concert, our play, and our special assemblies. ln our classrooms we have acquired not only knowledge but also such attributes as co-operation, concentration, and initiative. For this aid and inspiration we are deeply grateful. Betsey Moreton 1942 . .

Since she first entered 'l'hayer with us as a Freshman in IQJQ, she was loved by all who knew her. For her sweet patienee under the ever-present burden of ill health she earned our admira- tion as well as our affection. Although she was always busy with her lessons or some handiworli, she never failed to contribute enthusiastic cooperation to all our Class projects. We sincerely hope that the type of loyalty and interest which she always displayed will be re- membered as the keynote of our class. L. E. Page 52 . . The BLACK and ORANGE 1947 SOPHOMORE CLASS .

This is a national honor society, including in its membership the leading second- ary schools of the country, and corresponding in aims and purposes to the Phi Beta Kappa Society in the colleges. lllembership in this society, therefore, is a distinct honor. Ar the first election held soon after mid-years the Chapter elected and initiated lllarilyn llulloclc and Evelyn hIacNeill of the Senior Class. These two girls have made a consistently high scholastic record since they have been at Thayer. At the time of their initiation they received their certificates of membership and gold keys.

VVhile the linal results did not in any sense reflect the true merit of 'lihayer Acade- niy's tennis team, the fact remains that the school was very well represented on the courts hy: Harvey Scranton, Bus Chandler, Paul Keefe, Les Claridge, Harry Brown, Ken Foster, jerry Geisler, and manager John 'l'inch. ln these men, we saw deter- mination, stamina, and speed. The coordination of hrain and hody was the direct result of the splendid coaching of Chet Young. 'lihese players proved themselves com- pletely yvorthy of wearing the 'lihayer colors. 'liheir manifestion of school spirit de- served the admiration of the entire student hody. Thayer Academy is iustly proud of such representation. . . . SENIOR 50 FOOTBALL . . . . 'lihis year's Senior 50 foothall squad consisted of a great deal of natural talent. Along with the team's talent and the clever coaching of -loe Crehan, the squad rapidly fell into coordinating with one another like veterans. The experience that the mem- bers received playing with the squad will he of great value to both themselves and the later teams of the school when the call for varsity material is heard. Klemhers of the squad were: Bob Heald, Dick Clapp, Eddie Young, Roh VVade, Tom Kferedith, Joe Gordon, Harry llitchett, John Harford, Don Uinneen, Bill Keefc, Huh Kemp, Pere Pillshury, Arnie Warshauer, Francis Hyland, Russ Christopher, Bill Stewart, and Dick Uoh rein.

The BLACK and ORANGE . . 1942 . . DRAMATICS . . . flilll' afternoon of March I3 and the evening of March I-lm The Senior Middle Class presented Milestones by Arnold Bennett and lfdward Knoblock. This three act drama had a double theme, the conflict between the old and the new in industrial progress and between the older and younger generations of two lfnglish families. 'lihe Rlieads and Sibleys, iron manufacturers, were bound by personal ties as well as business connections. But when the firm was broken up by Rhead's farsighted insistence on the in'portance of iron ships, individual affections were subordinated to the disagreement between Samuel Sibley and John Rhead. ln the following generation the beautiful lfmily was obliged to follow her parents' choice of a husband and stifle the love she felt for a progressive young engineer in her father's works, It was not until the third generation that Gertrude Rhead, victim of Sam Sibley's distrust of new things, saw one of her young relatives enter a life of assured happiness by following the prompt- ings of her heart rather than a family preference. As the two families went from one milestone in their lives to another, one generation of characters succeeded another, adding richness and interest to the play. ln parts demanding special skill in make-up and characterization, john, Rose, and Gertrude lived before the eyes of the audience, passing from fresh youth to the dignity of age, their golden wedding anniversary representing' in the youngest members of the fa'nily the day of triumph of modern ideas and relationships over the traditional family pattern.

SCRIBBLERS' CLUB . . . . The Scribblers' Club has had several meetings this year, which have been both pleasant and profitable. Playing with words and listening for melody and rhythm, picking out and discussing picturesque phrases showed the value of using the right word in the right place. The effect of vivid imagery and value of concrete subjects were stressed in relation to original work and heightened appreciation of mood and expression in the work of established authors. Friendly criticism aided in clarifying, developing. and revising the contributions submitted at each meeting so that through constructive thinking some definite principles of composition could be established. The Club is anticipating with interest the continuance of work during the spring and with revised membership next year. The Scribblers have included lilarilyn Bullock, Russell Christopher, Amoret Cowan, William Delia, lXIarjorie Fearing, Jerome Geisler, Hope Hansen, Enid Hollidge, Jean Presbrey, Ada Runyon, Phyllis Slater, Charna Stone, Edith Storm, VValter Sears. Carl Tisch, Eben Townes, William Barrows. Ruthe Driver. Lois Ellgner, Archie hlelville, Jeanne lXIoffatt, lXIary Rivers, Ronald Smyth, and Klarshall Wilkins. . . . THE CHEMISTRY CLUB . . . lf you happened to have seen a cloud of smoke coming from the laboratory on Friday afternoons, it was probably George Scheele's mixture exploding, and most likely John Kendall had prepared it. The chemistry club always seems to be working in a dense fog amid the roar of the 9:20 Club. ln spite of these amusements, the club has accomplished a great deal with the help of Mr. Johnson. lklarilyn Bullock, Florence Gardner, John NIC!-Xuliffe, Alan Jaspon, Robert Libertine, and Walter Sorgi spent most of their time on qualitative analysis, al- though they scattered a few other experiments in also. John Kendall and Donald Thomas concentrated on making their favorite explosives and leaving them over in the lab for someone to step on. They also made a few neon tubes which were quite a success. Under the guidance of Mr. Johnson, the members of the club learned much about chemistry that is not taught in the classroom.

The BLACK and ORANGE . . 1942 PRIZE SHORT STORY THE WEB OF FATE He turned around. With a graceful movement she came to him, and smiling, took the fan from his hand, her laughter tinkling like silver bells as she said, My clear lvlarquis, surely a mere fan will not remind you of me! Here, take this and wear it in my memoryf' Slipping from her finger, a ring with a sapphire like the color of her eyes, surrounded by diamonds like the jewels scattered in her laughter, she pressed it into his hand. With a sparkle in her eye, she left him and made her way across the crowded floor. The llflarquis Charles du Cicatrice went from the room in a daze, his mind filled with visions of beauty. From that vibrant, vivacious creature, he went to the wasted, wan figure of Beatrice, his wife. He spent his evening staring at the ring and dream- ing 3-dreaming of youth, sapphire eyes, and graceful movements, but always coming back to the realization of his shackle lying in the huge bed where he had carried her eight years before. They had been riding together when her horse, frightened by a snake, had shied and thrown her. The doctor had pronounced her permanently crip- pled, and thus she had lain in that room for almost a decade. While in Paris a few weeks later on financial matters, the Rlarquis saw several times the ravishing Jeannette Embrouille, the donor of the ring and the object of his dreams. lntending at first only to make him appear ridiculous, she soon became im- pressed by his fervor for her and then, against her better judg nent, began to return the feeling. The lVIarquis prolonged his stay on the pretense of unforeseen obstacles and the two rode, walked, and attended balls together growing closer each passing day. Pro- fessing his love, he returned to his chateau and to Beatrice, only to go back to Paris a few days later. This continued for several months. Cicatrice stayed with his wife only long enough to allay any suspicions she or anyone else might have. The remainder of the time he spent in Paris or wherever Jeannette happened to be, in order that he might be near her. Slowly the weed of hatred for his helpless wife grew in his heart, and he prayed for the day when she would cease to prevent him from having the woman he now loved. lf only Beatrice were not there! This thought preyed on his mind day after day. night after night. Growing desperate, he sent for one of the leading specialists of the country to examine his wife. Through this examination he would learn at least approximately how long he would have to Wait for that which he desired. When the bedroom door opened, the llflarquis, anxiously awaiting outside, was astounded to see the doctor's jubilant expression and was stunned by his report. Why, it's a miracle, my boy! praised the doctor. A miracle! She ought to be walking in at least three weeks! After a month or two she will be her normal self again! l repeat, it's a miracle! The gods have surely been kind to you. Kind to him! Oh yes! It would have been better not to have had the examina- tion. Without it he would still have had the hope of her death unlocking the gates of earthly Paradise to him. - Her death opening the gates of - but of course! lt was so simple! The country physician could be bribed to claim natural causes! But it must be tonight! Yes, tonight! It was later that evening. Outside the door through which the doctor had come earlier in the day, a figure crouched, listening. When the breathing within the room seemed to settle down to an even regularity the door opened, and the figure was there no more. Inside the room a shadow slipped to the edge of the bed. The moonlight 1942 . . The BLACK and ORANGE . . Page 63 filtering through the blinds caught the sparkle of a jewel on a hand and the gleam of metal. As the gleam descended, an arm rose from the bed and in a super-human effort derived from terror, grasped the threatening hand and twisted it from the bed. The silver gleam was blotted out by blood. Silence settled on the room. The hostess broke away from a small group near the entrance and went up to the newly-arrived couple. lily dear Klarquisel It is so wonderful to see youl l do hope you enjoy this party! l've arranged it in honor of your recovery. And you, my dear Nlarquis. l-.H Her words caught in her throat and an expression of horror froze on her face as the Klarquis turned toward her with a pleading, despairing look. Curving from the corner of his eye to the edge of his mouth a livid scar distorted the right half of his face. lt dragged down the lower lid of the eye, exposing the veins, and pulled up his lips into a sneering, snarling expression. The fllarquise gracefully took the situation in hand. Yes, my dear Jeannette. Ir is good to be out again and especially to meet youl Charles has spoken so often of you. And of course he is so happy over my recovery. Do look at this love'y sapphire he gave me to commemorate itl lr is such a shame, but a wild cat he thought helpless, slashed at him and left her mark. Rmmlzl Sn:-rflz, '43 THE NEW SUPER-HEROES The great heroes of America are being replaced by fictitious characters called super-men. These characters grin at us from comic magazines, and haunt the radios of our homes where we expect peace and quiet in some degree. Beginning with the Solitary Ridernf' the modern heroes have grown wiser and stronger till they become such mental and physical giants as Superbeing , and the Bat Person . First l find no fault with the characters of such creations as Superbeing'l and his contemporaries. They are unselfish, honest people, devoting their lives to combat- ing the forces of evil, and helping those in trouble. They are wonderful physical specimens with alert minds and excellent morals. The fault of these fictitious characters is that their exciting exploits prove too fascinating and alluring to many youngsters. These children read comics by the hour instead of devouring good literature: and listen to the adventures of super-heroes on the radio rather than tuning in on good music or other worthwhile programs. Children form the habit of spending too much time on these useless things. It is not that reading about the comic book characters will 11f'4'e.r.vr11'ily hurt a person. lt is taking them too seriously and giving them precedence over better literature which is a bad thing for the reader. Super-being , Bat-person , and all the rest are certainly far below famous literary characters whose adventures are described by worthwhile authors. Their lives are too much on a set pattern to be interesting after one has read one or two of their adventures. Their stories become monotonous, similar, and uninteresting. The good people are angels, the villains devilsg the plots are all alike, and the heroes do all the work. No one is needed to help Super-being out of a tight placeg he never is injured or ill: his suspicions are always right. ln short he is the whole shown. There are some people who honestly prefer to live in a maze of super-heroes. VVe cannot criticize them because it is all a matter of taste. Neither side may call the other wrong, for it is also a matter of opinion. Lois Leggett, '45 9 Fictitious names are used for obvious reasons. Page 64 . The BLACK and ORANGE 1942 SAYING HELLO TO COMPANY The worst experience, to my mind, that anyone can go through is saying hello to company. At first this seems a simple thing to do, but anyone who has under- gone this experience knows that it involves a long, tedious struggle with both oneself and the company. The secret of the successful technique is to attack when the enemy are on the move, before they have a chance to settle in the living-room. ln other words, get them as they come in the doorg better still, open the door for them. ln this way your conversation is limited to a few I-lello's, l'm fines and How are you's? When the family comes, all you have to do is stand there making non-committal grunts, and take the first opportunity to escape in the confusion. But anyone who knows visitors knows that they seldom have the sportsmanlike instinct to come to your door when you are near it. and face it out man to man. No, they must sneak in while you are otherwise engaged in another part of the house, and entrench themselves in the living room. Then it is necessary for you to seek them out. Goodness knows, they have no desire to see you, they have not come to see you, their whole evening would be much more pleasant without seeing you, but social usage and the confines of civilization make you force yourself on them. The hest thing to do, l have found, is to make as much noise as possible upon coming downstairs or in entering the door. This centers the attention on you. Nothing is more embarrassing than to enter a room and find everyone else so busily engaged in conversation that they have not even noticed you. But your troubles really begin when you have finally called attention to your- self. After the preliminary greetings, the guests shut up like so many clams and stand gazing at you, evidently expecting some brilliant gem of conversation on your part. By the time you have forced yourself to think of something even passably witty, the conservation has shifted, leaving you standing there with nothing to do but retreat to your room as inconspicuously as possible, leaving the guests with the thought, Now there's an unpleasant boy, no social manners at all. Jrrhie flfelwifle, '43 DAWN The grey :lawn slunk in. It sat on the dim horizon With a sullen frown. Its drabness hid The harsh lines of all The buildings, and then Reached out chilly fingers Of tarry mist to wrap Itself about the riggings And hulls of swaying harbour boats. The dripping sea mist muflied Their fog horns moaning out A morbid warning. Then suddenly some magic hand - Some Power above - Turned the grey to gloryg And the dawn flew out. Ada Runyon, '42 1942 . . The BLACK and ORANGE . . Page 65 IN MEMORIAM Complacently I smoothed my hands down the crisp lavender folds of my dress. Then I sighed, they were still talking. Vaguely I inspected the shiny blackness of my Sunday Shoes. They were better than anybody's, better than anybody's, I hummed to myself, after a reassuring glance at the feet below. There were three pair of shoes. The black pumps were Mother's, the round-toed grey ties were visiting, and the long, dull-brown oxfords were Bin's. Bin's shoes were never shiny because she wore overshoes almost every day. Always I remember her bent over a lisle-clad leg, pulling her galoshes with thin, impatient hands. . . . I was responsible for her name. Her last name was too long, so I shortened it to Bin. Some of her friends also preferred that in place of the more maidenly Rosalie Bin taught in public school, and every Valentine's Day, especially, she would come home with a happy smile on her long faceg and with her stiff sailor's hat slightly askew, would exhibit the many lacy tributes she carried in her arms. She received more than anyone else. She lived with my grandmother, and so did we. Although both my mother and grandmother protested that she would overtax my young brain, she taught me every poem and nursery rhyme she knew. Right after breakfast, I would run through the connecting hallway into my grandmother's side of the house, to see Bin before she left for school, and to help her with her meal. Before I was allowed to come to the table, she would make me- recite the latest poem to her. With my eyes on the vanishing food I would rattle glibly: Little drops of water, Little grains of sand, Make the 'mighty ocean, And the pleasant land. and then dash for the last muffin. One afternoon, coming home from school, she found me stretched out on the floor trying very earnestly to read my Peter Rabbit upside down. Sitting down be- side me, she slowly unrolled the wonders of going to school. I would learn how to read and write, and how to sing and play games with the other children. I would be able to read my Peter Rabbit. Every morning we would leave together for this magic place. Pretty soon I'd grow up, and like Bin, I'd teach others to read Peter Rabbit. School was a wonderful place. Everything was as Bin had said, and I joyously read my Peter Rabbit to everyone who would listen. But it wasn't quite so much fun. Bin wasn't there. She had moved to another house, and I didn't see her very often after that. Once I noticed her several years later on a Valentine's Day, struggling home against the sharp wind. It molded her old blue coat with the grey fur collar tightly to her thin body, and I realized suddenly how old and alone she looked. But in her arms I saw the great stack of white squares, and was glad. She still had her valentines. One night she ate at my grandmother's, and when we were all seated around the table, she told us she was going to retire. Something like a sigh went around thc table. She had been the last of the old group of teachers. A new order was coming in, changes would be made, now that Bin wasn't there any longer. As she left to go home I noticed with unusual clarity ther thin hands pulling for the last time the worn galoshes over the dull-brown oxfords. Then she seized the blue coat and wrapped it slowly around her body. For a moment she stood there ad- Page 66 .... The BLACK and ORANGE ..... 1942 justing her hat over the thick-knob of hair. Then peering at us through her glasses, she cried with a laugh, Goodnight, everybody, and l, to my surprise, found myself whispering, Goodbye, Bin, goodbye! I never saw her again. No one was informed of her death in a far-off town until weeks later, and many of her friends felt very sad because they had been unable to send hen a last tribute of flowers. But when I heard of it, l knew Bin wouldn't have minded. She had had her valentines in life. Jeanne Moffatt, '43 NOVEMBER WIND November's bitter wind blew cold And scurried at fluttering Helplew sparrows vainly Hopping in the gutter. It raced up the cobbled streets And down the cluttered alleys. It hooted and pounced at Corners and crevices. lt tore and shattered Complaining, bemoaning, Wailing, and sobbing. lt sereeched at the easements And shook the shutters. It slipped through the cracks And raced down the chimneys - Scattering ashes on the hearth rug. lt buffeted a lonely man Bending down a lonely street - Flapping his tattered coat, And teasing his battered hat. It screamed in his ears And taunted him from The tops of lamp posts Where it whistled at him. The wind blew all the Stars to bed for warmth And brought the snow. Ada Runyon, '42 TWILIGHT Behind the hills the sun, Like a newly-minted penny, Slips through the clutching hands of time.

Jeanne Moffatt, '43 1942 . . . The BLACK and ORANGE . . . Page 67 THE SHORT TALE OF A LONG SNAKE I read once about the cowboys out in the West putting a horsehair around their blankets when they slept on the ground so that rattlesnakes would not disturb their slumbers. Well, this may be all that the cowboys think they need, but let me tell you the story of my pet rattlesnake, Alfred, whom I taught to crawl over a horsehair rope. I found Alfred one day when I was taking a walk in the Blue Hills of Braintree, Massachusetts. He was only six inches long and I thought for a minute he was a garter snake: but I soon perceived the rattles. Seeing he was lost, I walked home, with Alfred in my pocket.T After I had had Alfred for two weeks I found that he had an unnatural talent for music and would act as my metronome while I practised on the piano. His rattles beat out a crescendo of perfect time as his tail waved back. and forth. I fed Alfred a diet of grasshoppers and honey on which he seemed to thrive. He soon grew so big that he could start his rattles going, twine around the house, and see them wiggle. Alfred was an unusually brilliant snake, and I taught him to tell time and to wake me in the morning by rattling at seven o'clock. I also taught Alfred to roll himself into a hoop and roll to reach his destination. I soon learned that Alfred's favorite pastime was to be tickled. He would grasp a feather in his tail? and bend over and tickle his tummy, and laugh and laugh and laugh. I taught Alfred that a horsehair rope would tickle. Then Alfred and I started to Montana. INIontana laughed at the thought that a snake would cross a horsehair rope, and the odds were high against him. I staged a demonstration for the following day to prove that Alfred could do it. I had bet high on Alfred. Came the day of the contest. Alfred was in high spirits and started across the rope. but he started laughing, and, sad to relate, just as he crossed the rope he died laughing. I mourn him still, and can never bear the sight of a rattlesnake any more. ' If you are a highly skeptical person, stop here. T If you are even slightly skeptical, stop here. Katharine PVeiherbee, '45 THE HOOD'S LAST FIGHT The mighty Hood was steaming on, Tremendous with her might, Her blacked-out decks and Captain's bridge, All blending with the night. Came through the mists a lookout's shout, A ship off our port stern. Immediately great guns roaredg The Hood began to turn. A mighty battle was begun Against the hostile craft, And all the while the Hood's great guns Had raked her fore and aft. And then there was a mighty blast Resounding through the night. The Hood began to sink right then And disappeared from sight. A thousand men were on that ship When it put out to sea, And a thousand men lay still that night Beneath the deep, dark sea. Roberl Iflfade, '45 Page 68 . . The BLACK and ORANGE . . 1942 MAGIC I perch and gaze at the piano keys - Implacable black and white. Remembering how the touch of my master Turned them at his will to rich liquid gold or cool shining moon-beams. I touch them. But to me they give only Thin janglings, Loud, shocking discords. I snatch away my hand As if I'd burnt it! And stand back to survey Ivory and ebony demons Whom I have not learned to charm. Lois Ellgner, '43 MUSTS FOR MY MATE He's got to be tall, dark, and handsome. You have undoubtedly, at some time or other, heard an adolescent speak these words, reverently. Believe me - these words are inadequate, for each girl knows that there are many other attributes which her ideal fndream-man if you willl must have. She could go on forever enlarging upon these words, telling in just what way her he must conform to her standards. When I discovered, one momentous day, that he must be named either Michael or lX'Iarc, I didn't realize that Michael means, who is like God, and llarc means, sprung from Mars. So you see, I aimed high, even in my ignorance. About his appearance I can be very explicit, for my information has been gather- ing for many years. So as not to tire of the expression he fit is so inadequatej let us use lVIike or Marc interchangeably, to mean the ideal. When I look up, literally that is, I crave the tall type. When I look up into Marc's face I want to see deep-set, soulful brown eyes with black, thick, heavy eyelashes framing them. lNIike's skin will be smoothly tanned in a manly, out-door sort of way. If I am unfortunate enough for blind enoughj not to find Mike until the dangerous age of twenty-five, I shall expect him to have prematurely gray hair at the temples - I reiterate - at the temples only. His clothes will be immaculate at all times, of course, for he is fastidious fellow, and they will never venture out of the blue, black, and brown color schemes. You may well ask how' I shall know him when I meet him. This phase is also crystal-clear in my mind. There' is only one way. I shall go to a party against my better judgment, thinking it will be very dull. When I arrive my eyes will im- mediately meet Marc's across the room. Our eyes betray us to each other, we Huster, are introduced, begin to talk, and from then on are inseparable. You see how really simple it is! We meet regularly after this. Now I am free to speak of his personality, for presumably, during these times we have met, I have been studying him with un- biased eyes. He is thoughtful and considerate beyond belief. I-Ie is continually send- ing flowers, and he never fails to pay tribute to a new outfit. He invariably will recognize my mood and suit his accordingly. When I am morbid, he sympathizes and is equally morose, or when I am exuberant he suggests a long walk in the country. Often when we meet we dine with candle-light at our own special restaurant, which has to be called Tony's. After a cozy candle-light supper, we stroll to a theatre 5.5 k. 1-V-1.-xr.-nf -av ----- - 1942 . . . The BLACK and ORANGE . . Page 69 to see the newest show. This goes on and on for months, until, quite naturally, we are engaged. My ideas are not at all radical concerning the wedding. It shall be in a small church and l shall wear my mother's wedding gown. One thing, however, is necessary. lklarc, for the first and only time in his life, must be uneasy and faltering all through the ceremony. Uust to prove he is human.J To continue, after marriage, Michael will prove even more lovable and con- siderate. Of course he will never, never bring anyone home to supper without phoning, and concerning anniversaries and birthdays - he will be a perfect elephant. On and on all through life l shall be constantly finding new and hidden talents in him. Never does he become dull, restless, or inconsiderate. There is only one hindrance to my perfect scheme: up until now I have neither seen nor heard of anyone who even faintly resembles My Mike.

Will it never cease, I long to see This dreadful rain The flowers in bloom. That thunders still Oh, when can I leave On roof and pane? ' This lonely room? Hope Hansen, '42 CHRISTMAS Still, dark night crept into Donny's small bedroom, until the little fellow was enveloped in a soft, feathery, black blanket of sleep. The darkness drifted also through the doorway into his mother's room, and slumber soon comforted her fearful thoughts into pleasant dreams of better times. The winter moon floated lazily be- hind swift-scudding clouds - it was a very beautiful Christmas eve. Suddenly, piercing its way through the heavy darkness, came the shrill sound of the siren, warning of an air attack. Directly, the low drone of airplanes was heard - then, more sirens, more planes. Donny, sitting up, saw the darkness in his room crowded into the corners by blinding flashes of light. Mummy! Mummy! he screamed, climbing from his bed. As he toddled toward the doorway, - a sharp flash, - a deafening roar, - a bomb! The house rocked under the shock. Donny fell, his cries lost amid the dreadful sound of shat- tering glass and falling plaster. The terrified child crawled to the door, only to find his way blocked by a jumbled mass of debris. Rising, he stumbled his way back to his bed, drew the blankets over his head, and began to cry. As the awful noise con- tinued, the child's terror increased. Gradually, however, the noise lessened and finally all was quiet save the sound of a few people in the street. During the whole, lonely night, Donny remained in bed, the covers still pulled up over his head. And it was there the frightened, now motherless, child was found - on Christmas morning.

And that word evidently, as here used, has no small meaning. In fact probably no aspect of business in this country is more apparent than this. One sees and hears advertising everywhere. Hours are devoted to it over the radio. Newspapers and magazines are full of it. Roadside scenery for miles is obscured by bill-boards, and -- just in case you do not watch the scenery while traveling - you will find miniature bill-boards inside the train. Advertisers use many different methods of attack. First there's the What! Don't tell me you don't know about -- method. Advertising of this sort should at once make the person found guilty of ignorance of the product feel very stupid and ashamed, and ready, in humble gratitude, to pay close attention to the explanation. Secondly we have the Everybody's doing it enticement. An ad like this is to arouse you to the realization that the whole world is, for example, smoking Chester- rneadow cigarettes just as fast as it can. just knowing about them isn't enough. You must act! Change your brand today! Try a Chestermeadow! Equally effective is the Everybody isn't doing it type of ad, which points out that people of class and distinction reach for a Lucky Spare. On learning this, of course, everyone desiring social advancement buys a package of Lucky Spares right away. Next come the various endorsed ads. You buy the complexion cream endorsed by your favorite Hollywood actress, the beer recommended by that much admired man of society, the baby' food that the doctor of the sextetlets gives to those famous little ones, and the tobacco which soothes the nerves of that wonderful test pilot. Statistics can't lie, so when you hear that two out of three people drive News- mobile cars, and that three out of four prefer the Studabutcher, you know that these automobiles must be good. And, for goodness sake, don't add up the fractions and ask how l-lllfgqf of the population happen to drive cars. lt's people like you who take the joy out of advertising. Last, but not least, come those products Whose only outstanding attribute is the fact that they save labor. Advertisers seem to consider this attribute a rather weak one which they must ,spice up with the aid of hyperbole. Then we hear of the shorten- ing which will make any badly mixed cake come out perfect. Twenty minutes after putting it in the oven it is done, beautifully browned and raised, and sure to win the good will of your husband's boss who, of course, is always there for dinner. If you are one of those people who do not care for advertising, the least you can do is tolerate it in peaceg for, without it, three major disasters would occur: lj you 1942 . . The BLACK and ORANGE . . Page 71 would never know whether the hero of your radio serial were really hanged by the cattle-thieves or not, if he didn't come on at the end of the program to tell you what breakfast cereal to eat: 23 you would go for rides in the country with nothing to look at except scenery, and 32 without ads there would be nothing left of our magazines at all. Jllarilyn Bullock, '42 A MEMORY A goodly teacher taught me years ago Of water, earth, and elements below. But from his lessons l remember best, Not dusty facts or fleeting Knowledge quest, But how his work with eager joy was blessed, His avid mind, which never stopped to rest. ln stature short, his thoughts would touch the skies And put keen sparkle in his bright blue eyes. Died he these many, many years ago, Yet I'll recall him when all Knowledge goes! Lois Ellgner, '43 STRANGE - ISN'T IT? The hall was large and spacious, but somehow it gave the impression of darkness and evil. Perhaps it was the heavy damask drapes which concealed all the sunlight that shone brightly outside in the summer g'ow. Perhaps it was the huge oriental rug that lay on the floor, whose design made one think of leering gargoyles and dragons, who threatened vaguely to do some foul, miserable deed. But, most likely, it was the huge picture, which completely filled one end of the hall. It was supported by an old, musty, gold cord which, in itself, seemed a hideous thing. The picture was a huge, sinister portrait of a woman in death. Her hair was golden and it made an incongruous note in the picture, spread over the rug. She wore a flowing robe of black, which somehow seemed to typify the whole scene, so dark and evil was it. But the queerest thing about the picture was her hands, which were white, and strangely outstretched - Yes, no doubt, the picture showed great talent and the artist must have been famous. But the portrait held some quality that was bad. Cecile stood at the doorway of the hall, her golden hair shining in one ray of sunshine that had braved the hidden drapes, reflecting on her strange fear of the picture. Ever since she could remember she had been terrified when she gazed at it. She recalled that when she was a little girl she cried every time she saw the black lady as she called it. She crossed the floor and stood beneath the picture, trying to puzzle out why she was so afraid. Then suddenly, as she stared, hypnotized, the woman seemed to smile - - - Then there was a resounding crash, the picture fell to the floor, and the girl lay dead beneath it - and strangely enough. in her black evening dress, the strangest things about her were her golden locks, falling over the evil rug, and her white hands so stiff and outstretched. Phyllis Allen, '44 Page 72 . . The BLACK and ORANGE . . 1942 MOON, JUNE, TUNE - BINGO! The time has come, the walrus said, To talk of many things: Of shoes and ships and sealing-wax Of cabbages and kings And why the sea is boiling hot And whether pigs have wings. And they certainly do! I can safely say that there are few subjects that haven't been the theme of a song. But I shall never be able to Write songs. The title of this little essay was my Chef-hors-d'oeuvre as far as lyrics go. I will dismiss the music part by saying that I am practically tone-deaf. As a weak compensation, and QI'll admit it J a few sour grapes, I have listened carefully to our popular songs, and placed them in about six different categories. The first and simplest type is written by the Tin Pan Alleys boys. They are proud to be known by this name. It means they started writing in a curdling little street known as Tin Pan Alley. I don't know where this is, and I don't care. Their songs fall roughly into the love-dove school. They are sweet little ditties, and do not indicate budding genius, but people like them, and the writers make a tremendous amount of money. Irving Berlin heads this group. The second and most popular kind is the Weeping Willow set. Bly man has left me, but I don't care - much! This reminds everyone of someone, and makes a great hit. We all know some people who never send us pretty flowers. Now we come to the Real Blues. This means leaving off final g's, and using vile English. For instance - lim crazy about a song that begins: lVIy llama done tole me .... The Worse the English is, the more realistic the song seems. I don't understand the plan. The Sophisticates cannot be omitted. You know - everything bores me. Orchids are dull. Champagne is flat. All the things that money can buy are passe, but you're o'kay. Cole Porter is the leading exponent of these little sentiments. What a life he must lead. I hate to admit that this next type exists, but it does. I am secure in saying that they will all end in padded cells. They write rhythmic double-talk. Hut-Sut blah blah! There must be something about these songs, because they always end first on the Hit Parade. The war has brought in the patriotic writer again. It's too bad that the only thing that ryhmes with Japs is saps. Oh yesl I mustn't forget to say that if you hear anyone sing a song that has mamma in it, that means it's a rumba. I hope that this small list hasn't spoiled your enjoyment of popular music. I'm just going to ignore it, myself. Charna Stone, '42 TRANSFORMATION The ground was greyg the trees were grey.

Page 73 THE SINGING REEL He studied the small button, studied it closely, thinking of all it meant to him now and of all it would mean to him in the future. He read the inscription proudly, half aloud, half to himself. Stuart Sailfish Club. Before this time he hadn't given it much thought, the real significance of that button, but now, as he thought over the exciting events leading up to receiving it, the membership button meant a great deal more to him. His mind wandered back to the preceding day .... John has always wanted to catch a sailfish, he had heard his father say to the captain before they started, and l figure there's no time like the present. A few reassuring words from the captain and they were bound for the Gulf Stream. It was only half an hour before they reached the stream, but is seemed an hour to young John, resting comfortably back in his chair, watching the captain bait the lines. He studied the man's every motion as he put a line on each of the two out- rigger clips and swiftly pulled them out to the ends of the outriggers. The captain handed John's father a line, and said, Shall l run a line out for your son now? John soon tired of holding his line in the swift current, and rested his arms by placing his pole in one of the stationary outriggers. His father's face suddenly brightened up as half-a-dozen large, black, glistening fins rippled the water toward the bait and hovered about it. John's father told him to watch his line, and John removed the pole from the outrigger, getting a firm grip on it. john had seen others catch sails, und he had read about the art of sailfishing, so he knew just what to do. So it was, that when he felt a violent tap on his line, he knew it was a sailfish trying to stun the supposedly live bait with his long bill. And he also knew enough to let the current take his line for ten seconds. He managed all this without the slightest outward traces of excitement, but everything inside him was all a-jumble. Then came the decisive moment. After his line had run slack for ten seconds, he suddenly tightened it. Sure enough, the sail had thought the bait stunned and had taken it, including the hook. The other five sails, seeing the plight of this one, soon fled. Now the fight was on in earnest. The sail performed the miraculous dance for which he is famous. This acrobat of the sea will jump clean out of the water and slide gracefully along the surface on his tail for amazingly long periods. But John had not time to admire the agility of the spindlebill. He realized that the dance was his cue to reel in and reel in fast. lf any slack line is left, the fish has a good chance of winning. John realized that he had what he had waited for so long, the thrill of the singing reel, the joy of the powerful surges of the mighty captured monster. The sail fish rushed suddenly toward the boat, and John, not daring to give him any slack, reeled in for all he was worth. When he finally got the fish within ten yards of the boat, the creature gave a sudden spurt for freedom, pulling out at least four hundred yards of line, while John, helpless, watched all his work undone. When the sail was finally landed after a forty-five minute battle, there was not much fight left in him, nor in John. As slick ai spindlebill as l'd ever care to see, drawled the captain's typically Floridian assistant. Reckon she weighs about fifty- five pounds. The captain shouted, Seven feet four inches, as he finished measuring it. Seven feet four inches from bill to tail! That button symbolized all that to John. He had landed his fish in a sports- manlike mannen and had returned it to the sea again, thus earning his membership button and certificate. Yes, sir, he thought, that was a perfect day. Chester Clalf, '45 Page 74 . . The BLACK and ORANGE . . 1942 CONCERNING A BEACH lf one feels he must escape, get away from the world, and enjoy the beauties of nature, there is no better place to go than a deserted beach. Late autumn is the best season for a short ramble along a windswept beach. The sounds and sights in store for one about to embark on such an expedition! Upon first arriving on the beach, if I may be so bold as to offer a few sugges- tions, by far the best procedure, in orden to obtain all the benefits of such surround- ings, is to find a place where no human habitat or person is visible. Now, look toward the ocean. You see a seething bubbling mass pounding over the jagged rocks and surging up onto the sand. lt seems like a ferocious enemy charging persistently on the stern yet unrelenting walls of a fortress. The roar of its pounding resounds in your ears like the beating of drums. If you turn toward the wind, you feel the smart- ing force lash your cheeks like a reprimanding hand. lt smells tangy and salty like the sea itself. As you walk on farther, you catch sight of a dune rising like a camel's hump from the sand. lts green sea grasses blow fiercely in the wind and seem like tittering young girls bending toward each other to exchange love secrets. If you look down near the water's edge you may see such articles as a broken clam shell, part of a star fish, or a piece of sea weed. I like to think of these things as the discarded playthings of the mermaids' children. I can almost picture them writing on the slippery backs of a rock with a broken clam shell or playing some game involving the legs of a starfish. Perchance you many come across something pertaining to a human being: the remains of a fire or a torn bathing cap. If so - if' such a reminder of the every day world appears - do not try to recapture the moodg it is over. Return to your neglected duties - grateful for even a short respite. Betsey Moreton, '42 THE FLAG The red stands for courage, Which we have always shown: The White stands for purity, Which through the years has grown: And blue stands for loyalty, Which our boys have gladly sown. Stripes represent the suffering, Our colonists went through, Each star, a tale of progress, Of the country as it grew. The flag stands for past struggles And the glories yet to come, The symbol of all we are And what we may become. It is the emblem of our freedom, And the hope of men depressed, lt's a fine Hag, a pure flag, It's our Hag, and the best. Barbara Record, '43 1942 . . The BLACK and ORANGE . . Page 75 THE AUTUMN FIRE One of the most delightful customs which we associate with autumn is the gather- ing of the family around the fireplace on those first cool evenings. Do you remember the night you returned home after a brisk tramp in the frosty air to find, the family grouped about a cheerful fire? They were so engrossed by their merry chatter and laughter that. for a brief moment, your entrance passed unnoticed. You stood in the doorway drinking in the scene, endeavoringi to imprint it in your mind's eye forever. The room was entirely dark except for the glowing oasis of the fire, and you eagerly sniffed the pungent smell of burning logs. However, the warm fire beckoned invitingly and you could not long resist. Drawing near, you gazed at the flickering Hames, fascinated, as they danced higher and higher amid bursting showers of sparks to the accompaniment of the crackling logs. Quickly you shed the cool aura of the outdoors and assumed instead a ruddy glow from the heat and gave way to a cozy, contented sensation deep down inside you. You became part of the family group and laughed and talked merrily. Perhaps the story-teller of the family spun an exciting yarn, and you listened with the others, becoming so interested that you forgot to replenish the fire. When the tale was done you noticed that only a few glowing embers remained where that blazing inferno had been. The party broke up and you prepared for bed, wondering why this simple family gathering had moved you so.

Donald Soule, '42 Page 76 . . The BLACK and ORANGE . 1942 MOUNTAIN SCENE The presence of the lonely house towering atop the solitary mountain could be felt even when impenetrable mists obscured it from sight. Even those who strained their eyes upward to peer at it for the first time seemed to perceive at once the almost indescribable pall of evil and foreboding which overhung it. Standing tall on the mountain crest, in soil where no shrubs, but only the grim rocks and the black-visaged house ever throve, it was vulnerable to blasts from every direction. What a contrast between this dark, mysterious height and the peaceful valley below! The ascent from this valley was arduous and long. To the weary climber it al- ways seemed as if the smooth expanses of unyielding rock, the thick patches of briars, and all the other obstacles which confronted him had been liberally scattered over the mount by some diabolical hand which wanted very much to discourage the most in- trepid soul from the hope of ever gaining the top. The stout-hearted who managed to conquer the tortuous climb, beheld, on reach- ing the height, a scene of cold desolation, which was ominously enshrouded in a black veil of foreboding. Aside from the actual feeling which enveloped the place, one sinister detail in particular served to intensify its dismal aspect. This was the way in which the sagging front of the house, with two lone deep-set windows, and the hollow entrance, long without a door, strikingly resembled the toothless, leering face of an evil old man.

The BLACK and ORANGE . . 1942 GLUE At Christmas time the average person consumes quantities of glue, the exact amount depending on how many cards we send and presents we wrap. To send one card we lick approximately four square inches of glued paper - two on the envelope, one on the stamp, and one on the seal In the Post Ollice there are usually small glass dishes which contain dripping sponges to wet your stamp and to save your stomach. But during the Christmas rush the dish is either being used by a woman who has an orgy of cards when we must catch the 8:50 train and it is now 8:4-Og or the sponge is dry, s-o-o we begin to lick. By the time we have finished we decide perhaps we had better go home to bed and postpone our last-minute shopping. When we wrap packages, we digest more glue. In order to prevent the paper from flying back to its orginal horizontal position while trying to put the ribbon on, we plaster it with seals. However, this Christmas, tons of Scotch Tape - a non- lick sealer - have been sold for this purpose. Glue is made by a reaction of a dilute acid on starch, the same process used in making glucose sometimes known as corn syrup, an ingredient in candy. Lately glucose has been glamorized by calling it dextrose, and we read two-page, colored ad- vertisements of its assets. Now we begin to realize why that piece of penny candy tasted like glue. -Cynthia Ann Terry, '42 EYE PATCH I wanted to buy a new spring hat Something to hug my head, All I could find to match my coat Was a veil with a posy red. lt slid over my brow and into one eye Quite the smartest and right, they said, But how could I travel and play and toil When half my light had fled?

The BLACK and ORANGE . . 1942 I-IEPSTER'S CNot Webster'sj DICTIONARY The modern jive language of musicians and jitterbugs fpersons addicted to swingj was started by Cab Calloway as a means to express himself better. However, if one is not right up to the minute with his jive vocabulary, he will find himself un- able to understand lVIr. Calloway, his contemporaries, and followers. I have nothing against hepcats' fpersons understanding jivej speech, as long as it is kept within reasonable bounds and not fed to me every time I turn on the radio or read a magazine. lt was all right at first when a few coined words were used here and there to add variety to the conversation. However, now it is not uncommon to be confronted by someone saying to you, Stop beatin' up the chops, canary, an' cut out with me to yon clambake. - Translation! - Stop talking and come with me to a jam session fa night of listening to or playing improvised swing musicl. We might well wonder what will be next? CFor the most part the jive language consists of a group of, to a large percent of the population, meaningless words combined to be used in place of nouns, verbs, and adjectivesj If you were to listen to a name band rehearsing, you would hear almost noth- ing but mouthings of expressions which would puzzle and alarm lilr. Webster. Example -- an orchestra leader's greeting to his hot ffast rhythm in swing tempoj trumpeter - Come on with the armstrongs, don't take it off the cob, get your boots laced an' start friskin' with the whiskers - all this to imply Play the high notes: donit be outmoded, and practice for a swing session. The musician's answer to this might be, l'm muggin' lightly and politely with trickerationf, which someone might conceive to mean, 'Tm playing light staccato swing and am showing off. This type of talk cannot be escaped even when you leave the inner sanctum of a rehearsal room. On the bus or train going home you inevitably overhear the con- versation of a gate fabbreviation for gate-mouth, meaning male swing fanj and his barbecue fgirlfriendl discussing the music they have just been dancing to - Jackson, that kid beater was hip and grooveyf' Cthat drummer was very good, never deviating from the best rhythmj. Or you might hear, That Boogie Woogie was a mezz at the clambake and the doghouse was dirty. CThe harmony with an accented beat was supreme and the base was smartj Finally you reach home, expecting to listen to your favorite program, but to your disappointment you hear an eight-bar riff fhot musical phrasej followed by, Bust your konks canaries and gates, do you collar me, come again and break it up which is sufficient to warn you that you are in for from fifteen minutes to an hour crammed with enough swing music and jive ejaculations to satisfy you for all time. Undoubtedly a student of English doesn't appreciate these expressions and is not in sympathy with those who dog but to understand many of the people you come in con- tact with, it is necessary to be familiar with some of the following words and ex- pressions: beat - adj. - Ctiredl lcky - N. - fperson not hip to the jivej joints' jumpin' - fthe place is leapin'j licks - N. - fmusical Phrasej kill me - V -- fsend mel slip your hip - V - frumbaj Note: The above definitions are not mine.

Page 81 A TALL TAIL The good ship Timbuctu out of Kalamazoo, California, was becalmed in the lndian Ocean from July l, 1890, to July 9, 1890. The Timbuctu', was bound for Yokohama, carrying a perishable cargo which might spoil at sea if the ship did not reach port by July tenth. Thus the captain, Phineas Potter, was put in a very diffi- cult situation, one which irritated him beyond words, that is, almost beyond words. He was still able to express his annoyance in typical nautical language. The captain, being in such a state, did nothing all day but pace up and down the quarter deck muttering and grumbling to the world at large. He paid no attention to the crew, a fact which pleased them exceedingly, and they took advantage by loafing. They prayed that the wind would not spring up again for several days at least. Thank goodness we're on this sailing ship instead of a steamer, they said. On the night of July seventh, they noticed a large comet which was apparently moving in their direction. The following night they saw that the comet was coming closer, seeming to grow larger every minute. On the evening of July the ninth, the cook shouted a warning to all on board that the comet was approaching rapidly and that if it kept on its course, it would soon strike the ship. The members of the crew, like sensible seamen, immediately busied themselves in fashioning megaphones out of cardboard. They had hardly completed this task when the comet was within one hundred yards of the vessel. Crowding together in the stern. they drew deep breaths and lifted their megaphones. At a signal from the captain. the men blew into their megaphones with all their might. The concentrated force of twenty men blowing all together caused the comet to deviate from its path enough to miss the ship. The men breathed sighs of relief when they saw that their device had worked. However, they exulted too soon. The tail of the comet did not turn in time, and the ship was caught squarely in the tail. lt was carried along with terrific force by the comet. The crew of the 'lTimbuctu were all Hat on their faces, petrified with fear, so that they did not notice that they were being carried in the direction of Yokohama, Japan. Scarcely ten minutes elapsed before they were off the coast of Nippon. About this time the comet- was forced upward by a storm and started to rise, still carrying the Timbuctuf' However the comet had lost most of its power and was so weak that it dropped the ship. Fortunately the drop was short, and the ship landed right side up. From here it was only two miles to Yokohama where the Timbuctu landed and deposited its cargo. By some strange coincidence, none of this crew ever shipped on a sailing vessel again. Lois Leggetl, '45 IN THE LAB The place from whence is issuing that odor strong and vile? Why, that's our Lab. I'll take you in to look around awhile. Crash! See that dropped glass splintering on the spot? Someone, after bending tubing, found it too hot. Bang! That was some explosion! But don't become wan - 'Twas just a playful gesture by our pyrotechnic fan. Now peer into the thick haze of the side room. Behold the qualitative analysis fiends working in the gloom.

Page 83 THE NEW YORK HOCKEY TRIP The Greyhound bus had been on the road only about fifteen minutes when Bill Field produced a pack of cards from his suitcase. Using said suitcase as a table, a select few were taught a few lessons in the' finer points of the game of poker. The game lasted with few breaks from this time until our return to Thayer. George Snapper llloore pulled the prize boner of the game when he tried to take a hand with only a jack, queen, king run. When the bus neared New York City, the boys began to take notice of their surroundings, and their mouths opened by degrees as they started to see the sights of the city. By the time the bus reached Times Square the members of the team were craning their necks in an effort to see everything. Your authors, like the others, were crouched on the floor of the bus in order to see the top of the Empire State Building. Everyone called back and forth, pointing out the wonders to each other. Sam Long tucked the team into bed about ten-thirty on Thursday night and then with managers Charles Hartford and Everett Grossman, Dick Dobrein having fallen asleep, went out and saw some of the sights of the city while the team was trustingly asleep. When the team learned of this the next morning, hir. Long and his two partners in crime were severely reprimanded. It was also reported that Dick Super- man Dobrein, awaking from his sleep at approximately four o'clock in the morning, went to the window and shouted at the top of his voice, So this is New York! On the way back from the last game Sam Long led the team in his inimitable way in the boisterous rendition of some of the older tunes. Charles Hartford and Al Jones, taking home two pre-arranged dates on the subway, ended up in Flatbush and Flushing respectively. Your two reporters and George llloore successfully completed a trip to Brooklyn with only minor mishaps. The only difficulty was that we ended up six miles from our destination in Brooklyn and had to be rescued by the father of one of the girls we were supposed to meet two hours earlier. The return trip was unusually quiet because most of the members of the team were asleep after a strenuous night in New York.
