THE CENTRAL FLASH run away back to Palestine, perhaps, to dance -on the streets. He came to the small mountain inn and engaged a night's lodging. After he had his horse cared for, he went to his room. There, he kept thinking of Tailouanna. At about midnight he heard a knock on his door. It was a young boy who said, Senor, queek! The old woman, she must- see you! Her heart go bad, but she must see you before she die. Roland hurried to the cottage of the old woman. 'fWhat is it you wish to tell me? he asked her. Ah, seior, ..... I must tell you ..... the girl ..... she no runaway .... the Arabs, .... they come at night, and take her . . . , gasped the woman. V Why didn't you tell me t-hat before? he demanded. 'fBecause, seiior .... Ah, Mon Dios! . . ,. . . I have fraid . . you tell me to watch her .... and they take her .... the Arabs . . I . . I have fraid .... The old woman sighed and said no more. Roland's thoughts were confused, but he knew one thing. He must find her. But where? Palestine? No, that was too far. Which way should he go? He hadn't the slightest idea. However, he mounted his horse and rode down the mountain path the way he had come the previous day. He rode for the re- mainder of the night. At dawn he had almost reached the valley. By the first rays of the sun, he was astounded to see a horse and rider coming toward him. He saw it was an Arab, and he prepared himself for battle. With his shield held in front- of him, and his lance ready, he galloped toward his foe. A shriek from the rider made him sto-p a moment, and he saw with joy that the rider was Tailouanna, disguised as an Arab. He took her in his arms and held her close. ' It's all right now, he told her. You're coming home with me, and you'll never go back to Palestine. And the two rode away, facing the sunrise and happiness. A I Ruth H ynd.

Tl-IE CENTRAL FLASI-I Wg XT - . 4 ' . ' fx 9 ,Agni 6 i E as-HW! L..-.fw 0O0QoQ0 CLA RI ONE TTE LA FLEUR DE LYS , The new club of this year is La, Fleur de Lys , as you probably know. You know too, that it was founded to promote our conversational French. It certainly has. More than that, because it is such a pleasure to belong to this ex- clusive circle our marks have remained above the required grade an entire year- which goes to show that altho the meetings are a good time from start to finish, there is an undercurrent of seriousness. In order to be understood it is neces- sary that we conjugate our verbs correctly and that we remember where to put the adjectives Cetcl Gur motto, Parle ou Pars , means - speak or get out! On May 8th occurred the initiation for new members, of which I am sure you have heard. Our French initiation was very different from the general run of such affairs. Each new member was guillotined. While in the upper regions for lowerl, he was forced to eat the ears, eyes, t-eeth, and intestines of those unfortunates who had preceded him. As a fitting close for the program for this year, the members went to- New York to dine in a typical French restaurant and attend' a popular musical comedy, Fifty Million Frenchmenf' The officers of the club are Pat Giamerese, president 5 Larry Lobdell, vice- president-3 Helen Dowdeswell, secretary, and Bill Berghofer, treasurer. E Betty Natwlg. DRAIVIATIC CLUB Well, here's our last chance this year to say something. more about the .dear old Dramatic Club. A fine old -club it's been, with nothing too big for it to handle.
