PRESIDENT ' S ADDRESS The daj of all days for Seniors is not far off. Soon responsibility will take the place of our care-free life. Along about this time we begin to take on more manly poise, and really start to be men and women. It is also the time when we are placed upon our own resources, that material in the form of knowledge and experience, to help us decide our walks of life. Soon we shall separate and follow the many different roads of life. For some this road will be broad and well travelled; for others it may be a winding ti ' ail, but we hope whichever it is, it will lead to success. It will take some on through college or university, where we can obtain more tools and equipment to fight the battle to success; others will work their way into their places by filling the many openings of this day and age. Whatever we do, let us keep in mind the words of Stevenson: To travel hopefully is better than to arrive, and the true success is to labor. No matter which we take, let ' s hope that when we reach our places in this world, we won ' t forget the old high school, where our journey was begun. It ' s doing your job the best you can And being just to your fellow man; It ' s figuring how and learning why. And looking forward and thinking high, And dreaming a little and doing much; It ' s keeping always in closest touch With what is finest in word and deed. RAYMOND HART.

MARY MAKES A MISTAKE GERALDINE SICKLER Mary had a date, not the kind that comes from the land of palm and olive oils, but a genuine date that one makes over the telephone. However, this story w ouldn ' t have hap- pened if Mary hadn ' t been possessed of a poor memory. Mary had another engagement that she had entirely forgotten when speaking to Bruce Wharton. When the fatal night came, Mary went down the stairs as only acknowledged belles dare. She was confidently sure that she was very beautiful and that the night would be a success. She peeped through the half drawn curtains of the living room and saw Bruce Wharton, who had just returned from college. She sighed. Then something caught her attention at the other side of the room and she beheld Jack Gibbs, the inevitable other man she had forgot- ten in the excitement of seeing Bruce. This time, she groaned. The future looked very doubtful to Mary (as the novelists say). She was afraid to enter that dreaded room. Suddenly these two attractive young men had taken the appearance of greedy orges. She went back to her room, on the foolish pretext of getting her handkerchief. Another surprise awaited her. Celeste, her French maid, was still there, but a very different Celeste than she had left. There she stood guiltily in the middle of the room with Mary ' s new dancing frock on with the satin slippers to match. I didn ' t mean anything, she gasped. I regret, Madamoiselle. Mary stood staring at her stupidly. The girl was absolutely the most beautiful person she had ever seen, the old-rose frock enchanting her dark loveliness. Suddenly, a wild idea entered Mary ' s head, here was her salvation. Instead of listening to angry torrents of words. Celeste was surprised to hear Mary say: Oh, Celeste, don ' t fail me. You ' re simply wonderful. Celeste listened further to Mary. You are my friend just arrived from Paris. Don ' t understand American ways. Love American men. Vamp with your eyes, not your tongue. Don ' t talk much. If you fail me I ' ll have you fired. A little later, Mary entered the living room followed by a small, dark, little creature with sad, young-old eyes. I meant to have it all a surprise. Mary smiled, as she introduced Celeste. She just arrived from Paris and I wanted her all to myself before you romped away with my Parisian belle. Romped was the word, but it was Celeste that romped, not the men, nor even Mary. In five minutes. Celeste was calling the men her great big lonesome boys. And they liked it, much to Mary ' s surprise and disgust. Mary might have been Biddy, the cook, for all the men knew or cared. Let ' s go down to the club, Mary suggested dryly at length. Bruce came down to earth. It was he who was to have taken Mary to a dance at the club. Jack became Celeste ' s escort. Celeste wore Mary ' s ermine wrap. To Mary the evening was never ending, to Jack it was over too quickly. Celeste became the rage at the club. Everybody was big boy or, petite flapper. Mary was admired about as much as a chaperon. The mystery of who she really was only added interest to the already famous foreigner. Jack begged to see her again, but she only smiled wisely and shook her head. Then he asked Mary, and Mary, not smiling so wisely, merely shook her head and said, I ' m going home. Is that definite? How wonderful she was, thought Jack. What girl in all America could equal her. But she did not even turn in the doorway to bid him good-night. You ought to try Zigfield Follies snapped Mary, when they were inside the house. I might, suggested Celeste, only my husband and children might object.
