Many times, we hear these simple words, RIALS but how many of us try to realize what they really mean? I'm afraid several of us never think anything about it at all- just let it slide by. But what about the Boys' Basketball team of Warren High? It is very evident that they have accom- THE HILLTOP 5 plished much toward proving these words by their skillful team work and by win- ning secoml place in the Worcester County League. They got right down to busi- ness, as Mr. Mack says, and showed us what they really could do. We're very proud of Our Boys, and hope that they will be a success in the fu- ture, also. H. B. CONTESTS AND MORE CONTESTS LINCOLN ESSAY CONTEST This February, as for the past two years, the Illinois Watch Company offered a Lincoln medal to the Senior writing the best essay on Lincoln. All the Seniors competed for this prize, which was won by Marion Fenner. On one side of the medal is the head of L-incoln, on the other the name of the winner, with the date. The winning essay contributed much to the program on Lincoln's Birthday. Vera La Plante, and Elizabeth Wilde, had honorable mention for their essays. AMERICAN LEGION ESSAY This year, as last, the American Legion, James A. Wood Post, of Warren, Massa- chusetts, offered a 35 gold piece for the first prize and a 32.50 gold piece to the pu- pil writing the best essay on American Flag Creed. Both Warren and Junior High students participated in this, and the first prize was captured by Malcolm Seeton, the second went to Catherine Dal- ton of Junior High. CHEMISTRY ESSAY Again, as in 1924, the American Chemi- cal Society offered prizes of S20 in gold, to be awarded for the best essay written by high and secondary school students on any of the six designated Subjects, con- cerning the Relation of Chemistry to Health, Life, Forestry, etc. In the national contest scholarships to Yale, Vassar, and other institutions, with fees and 3500 annually for four years was offered to high and secondary school stu- dents. The Chemistry Class of Warren High all participated in this contest, and the essays of Vera La Plante, Elizabeth Wilde, Marion Remmert, and Natalie Terry were forwarded to the State Awards' Commit- tee. TRIP TO THE MOON This year a new contest was held in Warren High to establish more enthusi- asm and school spirit among the classes and to replenish our student body treas- ury. A representative of the Ladies' Home Jfnwrurl visited the high school and ex- plained the proposition in assembly. We were to receive 50 cents profit on every magazine that we sold. Fountain pens and eversharp pencils were also offered as prizes. The school was divided as equally as possible into three Separate teams. The leaders were chosen and each drew the color for his team. Then a chart of the Moon with all his various sky comrades was put up in the Main room. Three dog teams started on their way to the moon, which was quite a distance away. The scheme of the whole thing was to see which team could paint the moon with its color first. There was much anxiety. breathless excitement and worry. The Oranges got a good start and seemed to hold their pace, but the Red and Greens slowly crept up on them, un- til the Greens were about a nose ahead. The contest closed one week from the day it was presented at noon. My, but you should have seen the excitement! Every- one was crowded round the chart and each 6 THE HILLTOP one fervently hoped that his team would win. Just as the clock struck twelve, the Greens reached the goal and painted the moon. A few days after this, the other two teams gave the Greens a tip-top social. Some very notable speeches were de- livered by the leaders which will remain in our memory for some time. Everyone enjoyed this social very much, and many sincerely wished more could be had like that one. SUCCESS There is no time like the present in which to prepare ourselves, educationally, and morally, for a worthy position in life. Our characters are moulded during our high school days and the kind of citizens we shall be in the future depends upon the kind of students we are in school. We all have a Worthy ambition-success, but how are we to attain it? By perseverance. Have an object, or goal in life and work steadily toward it. If we are ever to achieve any kind of success we must be taught the necessity of depriving our- selves of much. We cannot do full justice to our teachers or ourselves if we neglect our studies to attend every social function in the town. We are the losers in the end, even though we do not realize the fact now. A talent may be given, but success never is given it has to be earned. WASTINQG TIME As a rule, high school students are con- sidered as hard-working boys and girls, who are in quest of knowledge, and are endeavoring to make a success of their lives. However, there are exceptions to all rules-this one in particular. For, we still have students in high school who have evidently not out-grown their child- ish habits. An occasional visitor need not be surprised if, by chance he should look up and see a paper airplane soaring grace- fully through space. He might remark that we are very fortunate f?J in having prospective aviators in our midst. The idea is not so appealing, however, to the teachers and the principal, because air- plane-making is evidence of valuable time wasted, and new composition paper is carelessly destroyed. Let's be like honest- to-goodness high school students, try to use our time and talents to better ad- vantage. FRENCH CORRESPONDENCE DEPARTMENT This year there are twelve students in the French department who are corre- sponding with French students in French schools. This idea is encouraged as much as possible as it is considered one of the best devices for American students to be- come acquainted with France and its various customs and ways. Mlle. Durant, who teaches in Cours Secondaires de jeunes Filles, Meaux, France, and who became acquainted with Isabella Marshall, W. H. S., '21, by ex- change of letters, has arranged for her pupils to correspond with pupils in War- ren High School today. This opportunity is highly appreciated by all of us. Post cards, pictures, maga- zines, books and souvenirs are being ex- changed and many friends are being made. Our Commercial department has been very successful this year with regard to the winning of certificates and awards. The following students have received awards of merit.

Her Grandma's bed-room was darkened. By the couch Dr. Smith worked impatiently over his sick and dying patient. From time to time a shrill voice came from the coach, I am dying, I am dying. She seemed to know, to realize, that her end was near. Grandpa slowly made his way from the couch across the broad room to the door. With lagging footsteps he Went down to the den. Sitting at his desk, he paused. He must tell Betty, but how could he. Her young heart would break, for she dearly loved her, who lay dying upstairs. It could not be kept any longer from her, she must be told. He picked up the pen, hesi- tated a moment and then wrote: She is dying. You had better come quickly. Poor - The door opened, Grandpa quickly turned. Doctor! he exclaimed. She is dead, was the slow answer. I tried my best, but it could not be helped. Her last cry was 'Bettyl Betty.' She was ever crying far her pal. I'm sorry, Mr. Brown, that I could not have saved her for you. This is a great loss, I realize. Grandpa turned to the desk, wrote quickly, and putting it into an envelope, sealed it and called the maid. Mail this quickly. Lightly down the stairs came Betty, the mother meeting her at the bottom of the stairs, said, A letter for you, dear. Perching herself on the banister she 'tore the letter open and read: Dear Betty: Poor Polly parrot died this morn- ing. Grandpa. C. R. B., '27. .A STRANGE MISSION Rosalie Leonard, like the rest of the pas- sengers on board the Richard, was very happy to see the most beautiful woman in the world, standing in New York Har- bor, representing Liberty. After the Custom officers were 'through with their examinations, she finally reached Broadway. As she was going to travel at night, she went to a movie and vaudeville to idle away some of the time. The performance was excellent, but Rosalie couldn't help thinking of the strange mission she was about to perform. From Syracuse she was going to a little country town and deliver a box of bon- bons to a specified person at a definite time and place. Just before sailing from Havre, a lady in deep mourning had beseeched her to deliver the box to her son at L-. He 10 THE HILLTOP must get it before the twenty-fifth of the month, which would be two days after her arrival in New York City. Under no con- dition was she to mail it or have it de- livered. As the custom officers paid little attention to a box of chocolates, Rosalie was about to deliver them. A fine mist fell all day and the train seemed darker and dirtier than ever. The ride from New York to L- was unevent- ful. The town had a deserted atmosphere, and on entering one of the few stores to inquire about the direction she should take, she was answered sullenly and sus- piciously. She walked on to a more lonesome part of the town, passing one farm house, and finally came to her destination. A friendly dog greeted her, and then started to growl and ran toward a clump of bushes a little behind her. She wished the bon-bons were at the bottom of a nearby well. She walked up on the rickety door step and knocked rather timidly, watching the hastily re- treating figure of the man who had fol- lowed her. The door opened softly, and she was face to face with the biggest man she had ever seen. In reality the massive creature was about six feet six, with broad shoulders, rugged complexion, and unruly reddish brown hair. His name was Rob- ert Beverly. Good afternoon, he greeted her pleas- antly. Er-good afternoon. Are you Ma- dame Beverly's son? Bob looked puzzled, then a smile of un- derstanding came over his countenance. Yes, indeed-I am. Has mother, here he chuckled, sent me the gift she prom- ised? I guess this must be it. I had all kinds of orders pertaining to it. I guess you must be her favorite son. But someone else in the immediate neighborhood must be interested in your guests. I just dis- covered that I was being followed here. Fm sorry. Pardon me just a moment, will you? Please step in until I open my gift. Your train doesn't leave for 'three hours yet. He left the room, and ten minutes later returned with a look of satisfaction on his face. Would you like to try my candy? he inquired. Rosalie picked one up and bit into it, but to her surprise it had no filling. She was both surprised and pained to think she was the victim of an April fool joke played so late in the season. But Bob took pity on her and explained the situation. One of the United States government officials had discovered some- thing of great benefit to America, and Russia was helping Germany to try and secure it. The person who had given the package to Rosalie came over on the same ship with her, but she had been the vic- tim of attempted robbery several times. Inside some of the chocolates were small plans written in code form and ready to help Beverly and his companion to com- plete the invention they were working on. Bob found some business in New York that needed his immediate attention. Therefore the ride back was much more in- teresting to Rosalie. Because of his fas- cinating companion, Bob cut his imagin- ary business short and took Rosalie to dinner and to the theater. As she had successfully helped him with one proposition it wasn't many weeks be- fore Bob decided 'that he need a perman- ent assistant and Rosalie agreed to take the position. MARGARET E. MORAN, '27. THE DIARY OF A SMALL BOY August 1. Swell day fer swimin', was sposed to go ta church and Sunday school. THE HILLTOP 11 Skipped and went swimin' with the fel- lers.

DOROTHY MCCRILLIS, '27, NUTS AND THE SCHOOL Well, in the beginning we were all born in Austin, Pennsylvania fthat is, we kidsj , and we lived there until three years ago. Then we packed up all our things, put them on a flat boat with us six children and mother and father and we came out here to Indiana to this place that they call Jackson's Landing. It's not called that after us though, even if we are named Jackson, but after Uncle Elias Jackson, who came here a long time ago with Aunt Nancy that I'm named after, and his three boys, Bill and Ed, who are quite old, and James, who is twelve. Uncle Elias wrote so many letters about what a nice place it was that finally we came here, too. I'm glad we did. Well, anyway, we're here. We, which is me, Nancy, aged fourteen, George, aged eleven, Henry, ten, Jane, aged eight and the twins, Susan and Stephen, who are only six years old. J ackson's Landing is about a mile from Rockport, which is quite a big place. It has a store and about six hundred people. We go there to buy things quite often. One day Elsie and Dick Stone had stopped at our place. Elsie is about my age and we have loads of fun together. The Stones are our only neighbors! be- sides Uncle Eliasj , they live about a half a mile away. We were having a picnic down on the bank of the river fthe Ohio River, you knowJ , and Elsie said she hadn't never been to school at all, so I began to tell them about the real school, with long benches, slates, and everything that I'd been to in Pennsylvania. George don't like schools and said he was glad we'd 12 THE HILLTOP moved away from them. We talked about schools a while and everybody wished we could have one fthat is except Georgej. As We were picking up the remains of our lunch Jane said to me, Nancy, you'll get us a school won't you ? Jane seems to think I can do any- thing. But still there ought to be a school for Jane, she's that kind I know she'd learn real fast. I've 'taught her some my- self. She's real pretty, too. Her hair goes in velvety brown curls. But with me it's different. My hair is in straight pig tails and I've got to take care of the younger children anyway. Pa says I don't need to go to school to do that. That evening I talked to Dad about schools again, but that wasn't very en- couraging. He said it cost a lot of money to buy books and hire a school teacher. About two days after that the gang of us went after butternuts. My, but there were loads. After all of us had picked up all we could carry there were literally tons left. It seemed a pity to let them all go to waste, but we had more than we could use as it was. It was the very next day that George and Henry, cousin James and I went down to Rockport for supplies. After every- thing was bought, as we didn't have to go right home we wandered down 'toward the wharves. A flat boat was anchored there and we heard the man say that he was go- ing down to New Orleans in a day or two. We often see flat boats going down the river and sometimes they stop at Rock- port. This man was talking quite loud to the people around him. He drew from his pocket a handful of butternuts. Fm go- ing to take these down and distribute them as souvenirs, they likes 'em down there, he said. All of a sudden I had an idea. I always have 'them suddenly. Mister, I says, if we get you barrels and barrels of those nuts couldn't you take them down and sell them and make some money ? Hold on! Hold on l he interrupted. Take some butternuts down to New Orleans and sell them. Is that it ? I assured him that it was. Well, what if I should take a whole load of them down and 'then couldn't sell them ? But you said the people down there liked 'those nuts. Maybe, but they might not buy them. Well, I tell you what. Mister, you take the nuts we'll get for you, and see if you can sell them. If you do, bring us our share of the money, and if you don't, why we won't charge you anything. Well, that's fair enough, but I've got to have them soon. Weill have them all here in two days, I promised. I went home all enthusiastic. Here was a way to earn money for our school. I got all the kids together and told them my great plan. They thought it was a good idea, too, so we collected all the bags, boxes and barrels we could find and we worked hard all the next day. Cousins Ed and Bill helped us a lot with lifting things, and Elsie and Dick got their team to haul our store of nuts down to Rockport. The nuts were all there, just as many as the man would take, that second day. Tired, but happy, we trooped home. Dad had been gone for the last day or two, but he was home now, and enthusiastically I told him all about it. He didn't pay you anything for the nuts ? father asked. I explained how he didn't know as he could sell them or not. He'll sell them all right, but you'll never see any of the money, father an- swered. He's got the nuts and hasn't had to pay a cent for them. You'll never see him again. By the way, what was his name? THE HILLTOP 13 And I had to admit that I didn't know that. Well, my bubble of enthusiasm burst just like that, but I didn't have the heart to tell the others what Dad had said. Winter came and I'd finally forgotten our affair with the nuts, although I never wanted to see another butternut in my life. Spring came and the others began to ask when would our flat boat man come? One May morning I was churning but- ter out on the back porch when the very same boatman came up. You're the head of those kids that sold me the nuts last fall, aren't you ? Well, I didn't know as I was the head, but I was one of them. Did you sell the nuts, mister? I asked. I sure did, Miss, they sold something great and here's your share, twenty-five dollars, see! I couldn't hardly believe it. That seemed to me enough money to buy a school entire, school teacher thrown in. I just took the money and rushed to show the others. I actually left the man standing there, and when I came back he was gone. I couldn't even thank him. Well, when Dad saw the money he was some surprised, too, but he said that he had another surprise, and that he would tell me right then. You see, he'd been talking with some other men in the vicinity and in Rockport. and he'd told how much we children wanted a school, so they had arranged to build a school in Rockport, hire a teacher and everything. They had needed a school for some time. Well, I was fool enough to be disap- pointed at first. I had dreamed of a school at Jackson's Landing, and I. was afraid they wouldn't need our money now. But father said they would need all the money they could get, and then some, to buy books, etc., and he explained that when there were so many more children at Rock- port we couldn't very well have the school up here for only nine pupils fBill and Ed are too old to go to school they sayl and we could easily walk the mile to school. It was a great day when the school was opened. After the exercises, as Jane and I were walking home, she looked up at me and said, I knew you'd get us a school, Nancy. KING TUT IN 1926 King Tut sat in his easy chair smoking Camel cigarettes and listening to his radio. He soon tired of this and wondered what he would do next. At last he called his wife, whose French maid had just given her a facial massage, a manicure, and a marcel. She entered the room in a tight fitting sport dress about seventeen inches from the floor with a cigarette in her hand. Where shall we go ? said King Tut. Let's go to the country club. Soon they were on the way to the coun- try club in their Rolls Royce. There they met their old friends, President Coolidge and Henry Ford. They enjoyed a lively game of golf and soon they sauntered into the club house where they chatted with Gloria Swanson and Rudolph Valentino. Dinner hour came, and they drove to the Ritz where they dined on oysters on the half shell and turkey. That evening they went to the Copley Theater, where they saw the comedy, The Sport of Kings. They were particularly amused to hear the orchestra play, Thanks for the Buggy Ride, Roll 'Em Girlies, Roll 'Em, and That Certain Party. After the theater, they went to a dance and danced the Charleston until two- thirty in the morning. When they reached home they had a light lunch of steak, and retired at three o'clock in the morning to sleep three thou- sand years longer. MARION HODGSON, '27. 14 THE HILLTOP THE CAVE Ellen Brown was sitting in her garden gazing at a sparkling jewel which she had in her hand. It was at the time when the sun is setting in the west casting beauti- ful colors on earth and sky. The jewel which Ellen held seemed to gain in bright- ness as the setting sun's rays shone upon it. How beautiful it is! sighed Ellen. Tomorrow I shall open it. The jewel which Ellen held was a pretty, quaint locket. In the center of the locket there was a large ruby and surrounding this were many costly diamonds. Five years ago Ellen's father, her only living parent, had died. But before the end came he had drawn Ellen to him and in a shaking voice had said: Ellen, before I die, I want to give you this locket. It was once your mother's. The large red stone in the center will open-but my dear, I beg you not to open it until you are seventeen. There is some- thing in that which- And Ellen, entranced by the brightness of the locket, turned to kiss her daddy, but he had died. Oh, Daddy, Daddy! she had cried, how can you keep me from opening this most beautiful thing? Oh, Daddy, please! For five years Ellen had battled against temptation and now, on the eve of her sev- enteenth birthday, as she sat in the garden she thought of her father. I have done as he wished, Ellen said aloud, and now, tomorrow! Suddenly she heard weird noises coming from the nearby mountain. She immedi- ately jumped to her feet and ran in the house, crying. Oh, Aunt! The haunted cave again. I never realized how late it was getting. Upon Blue Mountain, which was near Ellen's home, there was a cave which was said to be haunted. People dared not ven- ture near the mountain after dark for it was said that once a man had come from the cave and frightened some people passing by. Since then strange noises had been heard emerging from the cave. Oh my dear girl! I'm so glad you got home safe, gasped Ellen's aunt. The next day dawned bright and clear. Ellen arose early and went to the garden. There with only the flowers and birds for companions, she opened the long sealed locket. Beneath the shining ruby Ellen found a yellow slip of paper, folded neatly. With trembling hands Ellen unfolded the paper and read: To my dear Ellen-on her seventeenth birthday. Before midnight tonight you must go to the cave on Blue Mountain. There you will find a white stone, which you will lift up, and find a leather packet. Please do as I bid you.-Daddy. For a few minutes Ellen sat staring at the slip of paper, then coming to her senses, she cried, I cannot! I cannot! Ellen spent the day in a very nervous state. At sunset she crept from the house, through the garden, to the foot of the mountain. Some hidden force seemed to urge her up the mountain to the cave. The sun shone over the top of the moun- tain casting a golden light. Everything about Ellen was a world of beauty. The higher she climbed the more gorgeous was the scenery. At last she reached the cave. It was surrounded by moss and trees, whose branches were laden with the many col- ored leaves of autumn. As she started to enter, there was a rustle inside the cave. Ellen drew back in fear. Suddenly from the cave flew a flock of white doves, which perched on the branches of the trees, mak- ing the most beautiful picture Ellen had ever seen in her life. Oh the darling things! cried Ellen. THE HILLTOP 15 Then she entered the cave. Immediately she lifted the stone, and there she found a leather packet. She opened it and found a paper written in her father's hand- writing. Ellen-A long time ago I had a hobby for collecting beautiful and priceless jew- els. I praised myself on attaining a great number. Then came the fear of having them stolen. One night I took the chest. containing the jewels, to this cave, and hid them. I was just linishing my task when I heard voices outside. In fear that these people would find my jewels I threw a coat over my head and came out screaming. The people terrified, turned and ran down the mountain. Since then the cave has been branded with the word, 'hauntedf The strange noises which are heard every night, are the cooing of the doves which inhabit this cave. Now, my dear, the chest is hidden in about the center of the cave. buried about a foot underground. My dear-there are enough jewels there to make you a very rich woman. My bless- ing on you.-Daddy? As it was getting dark Ellen descended the mountain, determined to come up the next day for her treasure. To think, she sighed, that the cave which I have feared so long contains some- thing which will make me rich and happy, and that the mystery of those noises which so many people fear are but the cooing of beautiful doves. M. R. '26. DISASTER AHEAD! Business for stenographers was dull. Lillie Dubois was looking for work. She had inserted notices in several papers, and before nightfall received an answer. It was at 525 Landis Street, a god- forsaken place, she thought, as she read the reply. The next morning at seven, found her on her way to work. On reaching the house she glanced about disapprovingly. She ascended the steps and rang the door- bell. Silence reigned within. Presently she heard footsteps-steps of a man- coming down the long hall. The door was opened by the butler. Once inside, she began to look for what might be a boss. The butler directed her to a room con- verted into an office, where she espied a desk, a chair, and a table with a type- writer on it. The butler, before he left, told her this was her opportunity to make good. She sat down and looked over the papers which were strewn about on the desk. What he needed was a girl, she thought. She began to frame answers to the letters. Among the things on the desk was a check-book, which she used to make out the checks for the bills she found. These she left unsigned on the desk while went out to lunch. She returned at and as the butler had given her a she one, key, she entered without ringing the bell. checks she found had been signed. The She read and re-read the name-Warren Raymer-what a manly name! She thought about it even more, as she uncov- ered the typewriter. As she found noth- ing to do, she cleaned the typewriter, dusted the desk, and arranged the books and other articles necessary to a stenog- rapher. About two o'clock, the door back of her opened and in walked a dark com- plexioned young man of moderate build. He wore a long brown ofiice-coat over a brown suit. He told her his name and what he ex- pected of her. He dictated a few letters, and she was to compose replies to the rest. From the dictation she gathered that he was a scientist. She went home that night, moved considerably by her young boss. A week passed. One day, in the middle of the forenoon, following a deathly si- lence, a terrific crash was heard. Lillie 16 THE HILLTOP sat petrified. Suddenly, summoning up all her courage, she opened the door. There on the floor lay Warren. A doctor was called, and he and the butler carried Warren to his bed. The doctor said he must not be excited, and must be kept in bed for a while. Imagine Lillie's amaze- ment when she saw him walk into the office the next day! About eleven o'clock, a matronly woman came in. As it was quite wet and slushy outside, she advised Lillie to stay. In half an hour she brought in the most appetiz- ing dinner. At eleven-thirty she returned for the empty tray. In the afternoon she made out a check and timidly opened the door to have War- ren sign it. He curtly told her he was pre-occupied. She retreated, thinking of the idly strewn things in his room. Soon he came from the inner office, signed the check, and seated himself as if prepared to stay. He told her how pleased he was that he had found a girl that would not scream at explosions. She was half pre- pared to tell him she wanted to scream, but then she thought better of it. After he went back in his office, Lillie straightened up her desk and went home, followed by a man, which fact alarmed her greatly. That evening the telephone rang. She was alone with her mother who was an invalid, so she answered. To her surprise it was Warren. She could not think what he wanted. He wanted her to deliver a for- mula to Washington which would bring him money. He described his rival, a man whom she must beware of. She was too excited to connect the description of his rival with the man who had followed her. She was so elated over her new experi- ence that she consented and immediately set about to pack a few necessities. The next day dawned after she had spent a sleepless night. Lillie arrived at the station in a taxi which Warren had sent for her. He was there to bid her good-bye. He also handed her a white envelope containing a letter of introduc- tion, and a cream-colored one containing the formula. While this had been going on, the man who had followed her home nights, was hanging around, and at train time, amidst good-byes, boarded the train unnoticed. He took a seat directly opposite Lillie, and as the train pulled out, she noticed him for the first time. She watched him closely. At New York she alighted from the train to make connections with a 'through train to Washington. The stranger fol- lowed, and Lillie again noticed him in low conversation with a man in a car. Suddenly, before she had time to think, she was being hurled away into an un- known country. Only one of the ticket agents whom Warren had dispatched Word to watch out for her, saw her. He im- mediately sent word to Warren. The car stopped at a house, the only one for miles around. They forced her in. Once on the way they had asked her for the formula, but she pretended to know nothing about it. When they were inside, they began to search her. While they were searching her handbag, she put the yellow envelope inside her stocking. They found the white envelope, and satisfied with that they went to bed. COf course they wouldn't have known the real formula had they seen it, she thoughtj That night when all was still, Lillie climbed out of the window, and once on the ground, started to run for dear life. She ran two miles and there reached a town. She hailed a passing taxi and they drove on their way to Washington. Looking back she saw a car dashing along. They must have discovered her ruse. She knew she was being pursued by her antagonists. THE HILLTOP 17 She urged the driver to go faster. The other car nearly overtook them, but with a sudden jerk, and before Lillie knew it, they bounded up in front of the White House. There she saw Warren, who had come to save her. The formula was safe in the White House, and amid praise, tears and laugh- ter, Warren and Lillie were quietly mar- ried and returned on the next train to her mother. There they built a new home and Lillie's capability as a stenographer has never been forgotten by Warren. OLIVE R. ST. DENIS, '27. A HISTORY OF WARREN HIGH SCHOOL In 1842 a private academy was started in Warren, it was called the Quaboag Seminary. The land for this Seminary was given by Mrs. T. Lombard on Furnace Hill. A joint stock company was formed for the maintenance of this Seminary, and the town gave five hundred dollars to it because of the educational advantages to the town's boys and girls. Quaboag Li- brary was formed in the school for the use of the pupils, but when the Seminary was discontinued the books were turned into a Warren Public Library which was founded in 1876. The Seminary was quite noted, consid- ering the short time it continued. Its first principal was Joshua Pearl, who afterwards went to Nashville, Tennessee, and practically started the system of pub- lic schools in that state. Two of the teachers were Mrs. E. P. Cutter and Dr. Calvin Cutter, who together wrote the first school book on anatomy, Physiology and Hygiene. Students came from a consider- able distanceg one, a Brazilian, whose name was Jose Farrara, came from Rio de Janeiro. Josie Stone, one of the first leaders of the Ladies' Rights Movement, was also a pupil. Mary Moore Richard- son attended the Seminary and she, with her husband, compiled the first construc- tion book on the piano. Francis Under- wood, one of the first editors of the Atlantic Monthly, was a pupil at the Sem- inary. May A. Shar CDutyJ, who gave 8800 for the fine water system in the ceme- tery, was also a pupil. The Seminary, incorporated in 1842, was bought by the town in 1856, to be used for high and common school pur- poses. It was also used as a place to hold town meetings until a town house was built in 1878. The first teacher in Warren High School was Owen B. Stone, and he was the only one at first, but soon he had an assistant, Miss Minerva B. Walker. The first class graduated in 1871, was composed of three girls and one boy. The song sung at grad- uation was Cheer, Boys, Cheer, but be- cause of only one boy in the class, the song was changed to Cheer, Friends, Cheer. Their class color was blue, and the motto, Finns coronat opus. There are now three members of that class living-Mrs. Cutler, Mary C. Burbank and Daniel Hitchcock. At one time Mr. Stone was trying to teach a boy how to pronounce the Latin amabor, amaboritis, amabitnr. He said, You pronounces it 'I'm a boy, I'm a ber- ries, I'm a biter'. One day the wind blew so hard that it stopped the clock in the school. In 1886, the old building was moved to River Street and the new one built, which is also the present one. In 1913, the first edition of the HILLTOP came out and was published twice a year until 1915-1916, when the first annual edition appeared. In one of the old HILLTOPS a rather pecul- iar incident is noticed. In the list of alumni which have graduated from War- ren High School there is a break begin- 18 THE HILLTOP ning in 1879 and continuing for two years. In these two years no list of graduates is mentioned 5 the clases simply skip from 1879 to 1882, but from that year continue unbroken. V. LAPLANTE, '26. THAT COTTAGE OF MY DREAMS There is a little cottage so cozy and so gay, That it naturally attracts the gaze of those who pass that way. lt stands a distance from the road in the shelter of the pines And the clematis around its walls so grace- fully entwines. The apple-blossomed orchard with its deli- cate perfume Makes a most delightful setting for a robin's merry tune. Many were the happy hours I've spent within those walls When Ella Mae came over and she and I played dolls, We used to sew and then play house, and oft we would have tea, We had no worry in the world we were happy as could be. Although those happy days have past their memory stays, it seems And I recall with pleasure That Cottage of My Dreams. OLIVE M. WEIR. KING OF THE MOUNTAIN One lone wild twisted oak, Aged and bent where many a storm Has battered his old and wrinkled form: But there's something majestic withal. Alone, all alone on the bleak gray rock, Other forest giants have toppled and goneg But here on the ledge he fights, Shaking his hoary head at every storm. How many years has he stood there, All ragged, knotted and curled, Standing watch on the edge of the world? He guards the brink of the cliff. I call him the king of the mountain, Where he stands there mighty and strong. Mad winds cannot bow his head for long, Though he's gnarled, aged and bent. N. R. T., '26. A DAY WITH MR. BLOSSOM 1 Did you ever notice, That every once in a while, Mr. Blossom will Watch one closely, Then he'll start to smile? 2 And all of a sudden he'll say, CYes, honestly he thinks it's real funj, An hour or two after school, For talking without permission. 3 It isn't really because we are talking, That he lengthens our day of schoolingg But because he has some work he's s'posed to do, He's very generous and leaves it to you. 4 And every time he makes us stay, He will always greet us, In his own pet way: Don't get facetiousf' 5 Just the same we like the times Spent with our dear teacher. Some day we'll miss the voice that chimes: I'd like to meetcha fat 3:30J ! M. L. H., '28. THE HILLTOP 19 MY GARDEN Just a little sunny corner, Where the brook laughs like a bell, And the apple tree stands guardian And a gray rock sentinel. There I made a little garden, Tore the thicket from the soil, As I sprinkled it with sweat drops, Symbols of my earth born toil. Then I placed the seeds for growing, And the roses by the rock, And the pansies and the lilies, And the wee forget-me-nots. And I tried to bar marauders, Who would check my flowers growing, Who would tear and rend or root up All those babies I'd been sowing. Then I.waited and I tended, And I watched them every day. Looked to see if they were budding, For I couldn't stay away. But at last the rose vine blossoms, Roses leaning o'er the rock, And the pansies lift their faces, And the evening four o'clock. Just a little work and toiling, Just the patient love and care, And you'll make the desert blossom Like a garden anywhere. N. R. T., '26. THOUGHTS Report cards bring to us much pain and sorrow, Deficiency cards bring remorse and re- gretg Mid-year exams bring us thought of the future, Finals bring marks that we n'er can for- get. Monday brings thoughts of our Well-pre- pared lessons, For we've studied over the week-end you see, Tuesday brings thoughts of a short com- position, Wednesday brings thoughts of marks A, B or C, Thursday brings thoughts of a fine music lesson, Friday brings thoughts that there's banking today, Saturday brings thoughts that there's movies this evening, Sunday brings thoughts that at home we shall stay! E. O., '28. BEFORE TYHE GAME I tried to do my Spanish, but translation seemed tame, And Trigonometry proved to be the same. For each example, one answer came Tangent x, y, z ! Warren will surely win the game. I could see far off, the basketball floor, The game seemed more like a battle-but Warren had 'the score! From every side, sounded that pleasing roar, Warren! Warren! Come on! Some more! I tried to think Cicero, but my thinker couldn't do it. I was famished for knowledge, but I couldn't even bite it. For all I could hear was that same refrain, Rah! Rah! for Warren-! Again, and again! ,- . In disgust I tossed my books aside, For at home I could no longer bideg I snatched my hat, and slammed the door, Then made a grand dash for the basketball floor. R. H. TUCKER, '27.

M. B. LANCELOT AND ELAINE Once there lived a maiden fair, With large blue eyes and golden hair, Not far away there lived a lad, Who was neither good-looking or yet very bad. Now, of course, as all stories go, Elaine loved the lad you know. Never my wife she'll be, Lancelot said, Get that idea right out of your head! Miles away there lived a queen, She was quite tall and rather lean, Lancelot's love for her was grand, They'll make the happiest couple in the land. Lancelot gave her many valuable things, He thinks I love him, she sweetly sings. She took them and threw them into the river, Just then along came a little black flivver. In the flivver Elaine's fair body lies, How beautiful she is, come many cries, A lily she held in her right hand, A letter in her left, tied with a band. King Arthur opened it and read, Poor heartbroken Elaine is dead, The queen was very sad, And Launcelot went almost mad. Any way, Lancelot did not marry, Within his house he did tarry, This is the way the story ran, He died a very holy man. EVELYN LAFRENIERE, '27.

'Seventeenj by Booth Tarkington, the first play of the season was given by the Student Body on Dec. 5, 1925. The audience was much amused by Willie's attempt to grow up in spite of his young sister, Jane, who offered him, 'bread and butter and applesauce and sugarf and kept tabs on him to the best of her ability. The cast was as follows : Lola Pratt ..... Genesis ...... Joe Bullitt ..... Mr. Parcher. . . George Cooper. . . Ethel Boke ...... Wallie Banks. . . . . . . . Ruth Tucker . . . . .Bart Sullivan . . . . .Allen Wheeler Arthur Rutherford ... . . .Eugene Roth ..Margaret Hurley . . . . .. .George Kay Mary Brooks .... ..... D oris McIntyre On February 11, 1926, the Seniors pre- sented 'The White Elephantf Those that were there enjoyed the play, although the heavy storm kept many away. The inter- est in this play was found in the attempts of Johnny Allen to get the required 'two thousand dollars, necessary to marry THE HILLTOP 33 Mary Lake, and of Mrs. Waldo's endeavor to purchase a birthplace to satisfy her ro- mantic husband.

As the boys and girls turned out very well. we had two good track teams. Friday, Sept. 25th, we journeyed to Barre without any cheering' section, for unfortunately the Eastern States Fair came the same week and we couldn't have 'two days off. Too bad!!! We received fourth place in the meet, be- ing beaten by Holden by one-fourth of a point. TRACK Shot put Pole vault F. B. Converse 4th place Sheridan 4th place Girls' 75-yd. dash D.

Warren is a member of the Southern Worcester County League and will probably have many candidates for the various events. BASKETBALL The Worcester County League is di- vided into two parts and Warren belongs to the Western division. We had a splen- did boys' basketball team this year. The credit is due to the coach, Mr. Yarter, the captain, Stanley Rice and the fine team- work of its members. Next year the boys will be without their center, Converse, who has been a star in athletics from start to finish, but there are others coming along so no doubt we will have as good a 'team next year.

Your magazine is unusually interesting. The Tattler is about three jumps ahead of anything else of its kind. The Palmer, Palmer.

One can always count on reading many interesting articles in your paper. Although it is a small pa- per couldn't you enlarge your exchange columns? The Pinnacle, Meredith, N. H. Your magazine lives up to its name. The dif- ferent class notes are told in an interesting manner. X N .S.H.A. 17 A' WWA X ill rl ' CJ., I fo do In the past years many musical organ- izations have been formed at the high school. The orchestra is the largest. It was organized many years ago, under the able leadership of Miss French. Each new orchestra is formed and progresses rapidly. It plays at high school plays and social gatherings in school. This year it also played at the Teachers' Convention which was held at the new school. There is a band organized in Warren and some of the boys who go to the high school as members are in it. This helps the school to have a very fine orchestra. A member of the orchestra who is in good standing for the year receives one point credit and also a letter HW. Any member of the band who goes to high school upon recommendation from this band master also receives one point credit. This stimulates much interest and enables every one to try hard to play in the or- chestra or band. Each year the Senior Class also organ- izes an orchestra under Miss French. There are seven members this year. They will play at their graduation exercises. Miss French has also organized fresh- men and sophomores as an orchestra. This will make it possible to select new mem- bers to take the place of those who will graduate next year. The members of the Warren High School orchestra are: Miss French Leader Olive St. Denis Piano Marjorie Gould Piano Vera LaPlante Piano Anna Sadowski Piano Edith Tuttle Violin Gladys Rice Violin Gertrude Finnerty Violin James McWhirter Violin Royal Van Wagner Violin Lillian Pease Violin Dorothy McCrillis Violin Elizabeth Wilde Violin Eugene Roth Tenor Banjo William Riley Cornet Margaret Hurley Cornet Newell Tirrell Cornet Barrington Converse Saxophone Francis Sheridan Saxophone Luther Bridges Piccolo Flute Stanley Rainka Clarinet Alfred Banas Clarinet Gordon Terry Clarinet Stanley Rice Trombone Miss Hebert has organized a double quartet. This is for boys only and they made a great hit when they sang at the THE HILLTOP 39 Teachers' Convention. These boys have also sung at the high school plays and al- ways received much applause. Every member of the double quartet received one point credit. The quartet is as follows: Barrington Converse First Tenor Alfred Banas First Tenor Francis Wolff Second Tenor Eugene Roth Second Tenor Stanley Rice First Buss George Kay First Bass William Riley Second Bass Newell Terrill Second Bass A course in Music Appreciation is also offered in the high school. A member who receives a perfect score receives a pin and also one point. Many pupils took part in the contest this year.

Next comes Newell, Our ladies' man, At the moving pictures He is quite a fan. O is for Olives, Both St. Denis and Weir, If you can't tell the difference, Just look at their hair. P is for Parker, Her job is the attendance, When the boys try to play hookey, They find her a hindrance. Q is for quality, Which our Juniors possess, With a class like ours, We are sure of success. R is for Riley, He's Ei1een's beau, Wherever she's going, He is ready to go. S is for Sullivan, Who is fond of the girls, He likes blue eyes, And also likes curls. T is for Tucker, Whose tongue makes much noise And though she can't help it, She's fond of the boys. THE U is for useless, That Rainka can't beg He's always doing something, If it's only to write to Bee, Vanity fair, That's Pauline I mean, Dot Ross, too, Is also quite a queen. We all like these two people, Piette and Glad Pease, And it's not because We can rhyme them with ease. X is for the 'xamples That Glass loves to dog And in addition, He gets them right, too. Y is for Yarter, The coach of our boysg They have brought us much honor, And make lots of noise. Z is a letter That's hard to write about, So we'll just say farewell, And then get out. H. L., '27. B.
