To westport High: On the trail where once high-hearted Strong men hastened toward the sunset, Lured by gold and youth and courage, Now stands Westport, silent, massive, Monument to those whose daring g Led them smiling past grim danger. Yearly still at this grave threshold Pilgrims gird them for a journey, l Yearly here they see the vision, And they follow, scorning danger, Qver desert, over mountain, Speed stout-hearted toward the sunset.

Should you ask me whence these itoises, XfVl1C1lCC these moanings and these groanings, Vlfhence the sighs of all the teachers, The despairing looks of Stephen, And the sorrow and the sadness Cf the Freshmen, Sophs, and Juniors, l would answer, l would show you. ,Tis because the Senior pupils Cf the Class of Nineteen-nine, They are leaving, they are passing From without the halls of VVestport, And the light and life of Westport VVill go out when they are gone. Out of childhood into manhood Now have grown our Senior students, Skilled in all the craft of scholars, Learned in all the lore of ages, ln all chemistry and physics, ln mechanics and in letters. Far and wide throughout the city Spreads the fame of Nineteen-nine. No class dared to strive with Nought-nine, No class could compete with Nought-nine, But the envious little Freshmen And the Sophomores and the junio-rs Plotted and conspired against them. All the air was full of freshness, All the earth was bright and joyous Vlfith the sunshine of the presence Uf this brilliant Senior Class. Oh the lo-ng and dreary future, Ch the cold and cruel future, Ever closer, closer, closer, Draws upon our Westpiort High School! Coming nearer, nearer, nearer, ls the day of their departure, Wlieii throughout the lonely school-house Will re-echo far and near, O farewell, our Senior Class, Nineteen-nine, our well beloved!

'SHI' H71 Er terruptions and calamities' but when we be- came Sophs we began to realize that these -in- terruptions were only blessings in disguise for they simply fitted us all the better to be a smart set of Sophs. Proof of this was fur- nished when we displayed such adequate abili- ty in directing our Freshmen successors who were not so fortunate as we how and what to do' but as juniors we have made a better showing than ever. Did not a member of the junior Class win the Annapolis appointment an appointment that has pushed the juniors far ahead of any other Class? Yet this Class, not satisfied with first place in the great literary meet, took third Class History. 90 The many important events on record for the Class of IQIO would be enough to fill a three hundred-page volume, but, in order to give a condensed account, it will be necessary to leave out a number of things that we would otherwise like to mention. As most of us probably remember, we passed a very thrilling time during our Fresh- man year, broken up, as it was, by so many in- also, leaving second for a member of another High School in this city. Such victories alone show the unapproachable position of the Class of IQIO. The Juniors are not only successful in a literary way, but also in an athletic way' Our athletes won both honor and glory, not only for the juniors, but for the whole School. It is natural then that, with all these ac- complishments, it is with no little feeling of re- gret that we leave our position to the oncoming Sophs. But when the opportunity comes to us of representing the greatest Senior Class that ever was known in the history of Westport High School, we proudly resign our present name to the Class of next year, to take up the new and more honorable position of Seniors. I1'01z5-Twichell, ,IO. Rules for Writing an English Theme. There are many fixed rules for writing English themes. Each rhetorician will ad- vance his theories and methods of procedure, and, of course, each is the best. But the rules used by the majority are as follows: First: Note well the subject as given out by the teacher. Une need not necessarily knfow what he meansg in fact, one seldom does. All that is necessary is to have a faint idea of what he is saying. NVhe-n the subject is given out several days before, it might be a go-od plan to put in a few spare moments worrying about it. Then, when one is asked to- do some small service about the house, one should imme- diately protest, '6CDh, I can't, now! I have to write a theme for English? But ten minutes later, when the boys whistle, or the girls call. FW e be- se in- guise, be a fur- abili- who at to letter s win ment f any with third other alone Class essful way' ', not zhool. se ac- of re- 'ming to us that ,tport 'esent p the Jrs.

Treaswezf. as the case may be, answer without hesitation, HAH right! l'm coimingfl and proceed to for- get that there ever was such a thing as Eng- lish-unltil nine-thirty or ten of the evening before the paper must be turned in. Wliien the remembrance finally comes, get out paper, pencils, pen, and ink. Scratch the head and try to come to some sort of a con- clusion as to what it is all about, anyway. It is always a good plan to scratch the head, es- pecially in class. lt gives the appearance of deep thought, and appearances count for a great deal with the teacher. Then, too, great thinkers have been known to scratch their heads. VVhen it is found impossible to reach any conclusion Cand it generally is impossi- blel, think of something else-anything else. When the clock strikes eleven, begin to settle down to businessfj As a rule, the properthoughts will not come. Do not force them. Let them come naturally. They will, finally, at about a quarter of twelve. When they do come, they are generally found to be the same ideas that were implanted there when the teacher gave out the subject. After the thoughts are secured, all is smooth sailingf? just write it up. Try to use ordinarily good English, as it is supposed to be an English paper. Try not to misspell more than a dozen words, for that is gener- ally considered :fthe limitf, Do not have too many scratches and erasures, as it deteriorates from the neatness of the paper and, incident- ally, from the grade. Be sure to sign the nam-e to the paper. lt is considered better form. Try to get through by two olclock. After all this effort on the part of the pupil, a paper written by this method ought to produce the desired effect upon the teacher. And although these rules are not recommend- ed by most rhetoricians, they are the ones niosticonnnonly used. Vehzm Hale, '10. SCF-'H Class History. 4 6 The first Sophomore Class in the line new sch-ool has, as was confidently expected, done great honor to it and to themselves. It is unanimously conceded that they were last year the most remarkable Freshman Class that Westport ever had, and the great prom- ise then shown as Freshmen has been amply fulfilled in this, their Sophomore year. For were there not two Sophomores on one of Westport's two winning debating teams in the Second Annual Triangular League Debate? Une of these Sophomore debaters won the fitting title of The Infant Prodigy, and the class takes just pride in him too. Also certain off the Sophomores are vfery active in the high school societies, not to mentilon CO11tCSlS, plays, etc. Some of the members of this great and numerous class are gifted with artistic talent, an-d it is evident also that it has som-e really deep and logical thinkers amo-ng ever, as always, there have to quicken their th-ey wish to keep up with the others-some whose heels are quicker than their heads. Not o-nly in intellectual affairs, but also in athletics, does the superiority of the Soph- omores assert itself. They are amply and creditably represented in all the athletic teams -track, basket-ball and base-ball, and did not-but the glories of the Class of IQII need no rehearsing, as their fame beams too bright- ly, their deeds are too w-ell known! It is not long befor-e we are Juniors, then Seniors, and then-who knows what this Class of 191 1, so promising as Freshmen, so great as Sophomores, will accomplish? Edward W. Moses, '11. its numbers.

Our class is the first Freshman Class to enter the new Vllestport High School. The first f-ew days of school were not fraught with terror for us, as is the lot of most Fresh- men, for we knew as much about the new building as did the students of the higher classes. The Class of IQI2 has a larger enrollment than any Freshman class which has preceded it. And not only have we quantity, but we have quality. We have done things in our Freshman year, and hav-e established a reputation as Hbooistersfl Cur efforts in the class-room and our interest and excellence in athletics have aided us in establishing this reputation. We won the lnter-class Track Meet and the Inter-class 'Cross-country Run and are well represented on the Basket-ball and Track Teams. The Freshman girls won the school basket-ball championship. Those unsympathetic Sophomores have often insulted us by making divers remarks not entirely complimentary to us, but we must smile, for our term as Freshmen has almost expired. Arthur Neal, a member of the Track Team, has been elected our President. Our Class will bring honor to the school as long as we remain in it, and when we graduate, we trust that Westport will have reason to be proud of the Class of TQI2.

There is an appeal in martyrdom, the sacrifice of a life for a great ideal, which never fails to grip the hearts of men. There is a name, ho-wever, not known and loved by all the world, which des-erv'es as prominent a place in histo-ry as any of the more famous. Seldom has the character of a martyr so combined high vision and strength and gentleness as did that of Fra Domenico Buonvicini. By very nature he was fitted for his life-work. Born at the foot of the Appenines, he possessed the characteristics of both the mountaineer and the lowlander. If the great rugged mountains, towering above his tiny cottage home, had don-etheir part in molding his charact-er, no less surely had the warm Italian sunshine carri-ed its message to his heart. The result was a nature of strange- ly mingled traits. Strong and passionate, loyal and loving, he was at the same time a dreamer and a man of action. Even in his boyhood, vague longings and vaguer dreams had stirred his heart. In his early manhood, he found the answer to his longings in follow- ing the cause of religion and patriotism that was being led bv Girolamio Savonrarola, the prior of St. Mark's, who in a few y-ears, time had led Florence to freedom in Church and State. This great prophet had preached against the corruptions of the Church in spite of the thundering wrath of Pope Alexander, and had, by the hand of this same corrupt Pope, been lately excommunicated from the Church of Rome. This was the man whom Domenico had fo-llowed s-o faithfully, and when Savonarola had refused the challenge to the ordeal by fire, made by a contemptible Franciscan monk, the loyal prior had eagerly declared himself ready to attempt the trial in his master's behalf. Domenico never once swerved in his conviction that when the time came, he would be able to pass through the fire unscathed, thus proving the truth of his leaderis doctrines. In spite of the protests of Savonarola, who, ruled by the calmer dictates of reason, o-ften doubted the outcome of the ordeal, the day was finally set. VVhen the morning of the trial arrived, the plaza of Florence was filled with th-e surg- ing masses of the excited Italian populace. The balconies and even the tops of the houses were bright with the gayly colored garments of the people, all eager to witness th-e terrible spectacle. The throngs surged toward the center of the plaza, where the dread trial by fire was to be made. 'Here a grim lane of faggots divided the hostile bands of friars. Suddenly the throng sway-ed with a low, ex- , .q9 ...g.. - ' . .u. ug. - uggngg-. .,-, ,fra-:,.v-,,:,,..,..,,..:-14,Q.-.3 Lux-l':1A: ..'1B!',cms1:314.L':'7,. www -ti d .hed pite der, rupt the iom and :nge tible 'erly tl in ance time th-e ' his Qs of tates the lved, urg- lace. ruses 1-ents rible the il by .e of riars. , ex- T1113 WESTPORT HIGH SCHOOL HERALD. 45 cited murmur, for an official had stepped for- ward with a fiaming torch in his hand, ready to start the avenue of fire, and the magistrate rose to summon the champions. From one of the black-ro-bed groups stepped Domenico, tall, straight, and handsome, a splendid sacri- fice for the altar of the cause he loved. But the challenger, Francesco de Puglia, daunted by the noble courage and faith of his opp-o- nent, did not appear. To conceal this cow- ardice, the Franciscans then began to make all manner of absured objections: that Domeni- co's robe was bewitched, and that th-e cross he wore might contain some charm. Eager to enter the fiam-es, he threw these impatiently aside. The people grew more and more rest- less. Still the Franciscans delayed, until Dom-enico, exasperated by the long delay, made an impervious gesture toward th-e torch- b-earer. But just then the clouds overhead w-ere rent asunfder by a vivid fiash of light, followed by the m-enacing roar of thunder. The heavens seemed to be prot-esting, and, in spite of Dom'enico's eager protests, the mag- istrate ro-s-e to disperse the crowd. Savonarola then lifted his crucifix and started to lead his monks back to St. Marks The people, maddened by the long delay and final postponement of the cruel spectacle, now broke forth in fury against the ma.n who had led them to religious and political freedom. It was with difficulty that the Dominicans reachefd St. Markis, where they barred and barricad-ed the do-ors against the raging throng outside. The next morning, when it was known throughout the city that the authorities had at last decided on Savonarola's arrest, the mob rushed to the attack of St. Mark's. A small store of fire-arms had been previously pro- cured, and, in spite of their leader's protests, the Dominicans now armed themselves and fought desperately until the end. Domenico was with his master through the entire siege, and in that last confused scene in the chapel it Wag he Whom Sgvonarola found at his Side. When the door finally yielded and the mob rushed into the church, the flickering light of the candles revealed a strange picture. The little chapel was filled with smoke, many of the richly colored windows were shattered, and the unsteady light shone on the little band of faithful monks standing about the altar. It showed faintly their tired, haffgard faces, blackened by the smoke, their dark robes torn and bloodstained, and the unfamiliar weapons o-f warfare in their hands. As the smoke rolled back from the pulpit it revealed in the center of the group Savonarola kneeling in prayer at the altar, while before him, his dark eyes flashing, his handsome face alight with a great love, stood Domenico, with o-ne of the huge a.tar candtesticks in his str-one' hands, defending his master from the fury of the mobs. All his efforts were in vain, however, for Savonarola determined to give himself up in order to save his disciples. .When the so.- diers at last forced their way through the mob, the great priest surr-endered without the least resistance, and Domenico, ever ready to follow his master to death if need be, dropped his weapon and accompanied Savon- arola to prison. The following morning, the terrible trial of the prisoners began. Though Saironaro-la's faith never once swerved, his weak, oversen- sitive frame was utterly incapable of with- standing torture, and in his agony his mind often wandered. Fra Silvestro, who had been arrested also, gave way utterly and co-nfessed to every false charge brought against his mas- ter and himself. In striking contrast to the weakness of Silvestro and ev-en o-f the great prophet, is Domenico's strength uneder torture. No agony to which he was subjected could draw from him a single word which might injure Savonarola and his doctrines. Even when he was shown the false confession of the prophet, his loyalty and faith in his mas- ter remained unchanged. As the last boon, granted to a doomed man, Savonarola had re- quested that he might see his disciples once more. 'When Fra Domenico saw the belov'ed face again, and heard the deep voice, still wonderful in spite of the profphet's weakness, he rejoioed that he was permitted to die with this great disciple of God. The morning of the execution found him unflinching, ready, glad to follow Savonarola wherever he might lead. He had never feared death. and now his great heart exulted in the thought .that he was soon to die for Savona- rola and his God. He met death as courageous- ly as he had always faced life, and started out upon the long, long journey as fearlessly as he had set forth from his little mountain home to face the dangers of the world. Rowena Campbell, 709. 46 THE Wiasrrorzr 1-1161-I SCHOOL HERALD. A Nature Fake. Johnnie lived on a farm near the little backwo-ods village of Glenarm. The summer had been wetter than usual, and the crops on the McDonald farm had failed to bring enough money to complete the payment of a mortgage which matured the following spring. Johnnie had worked overtime to keep down the expense for hired help, and in addition had don-e chores for the neighbors. How could he get the money before spring? That was the problem which con- fronted Johnniels father, Mr. McDonald. He could not borrow from the neighbors, for they were as badly off as he. He would have to wait until another seasonis crops were gathered- to get money, but he knew the hold- er of the mortgage would not wait. lt meant, therefore, that he would have to sell his farm 'and home and move into the wilderness to start over again. Johnnie was fourteen that fall, and he was anticipating the joy of a trapping trip with Trapper Jim. That worthy had pro-m- ised to take him along when he had reached that age, to tend shanty. So in October, before the river highways had frozen over, Trapper Jim and his protege embarked in their canoe. Then began the hard voyage of nearly two hundred miles by river and lake, through rapids and over portages, to the trap- ping-ground, where man rarely went. Jim Richie had had unusual luck the year before, and had bought a lot of new steel traps. 'KA steel trap, he said, is worth more than twenty dead-falls and snaresf' Johnnie had a few traps with which he had practiced on his father's farm, but with- ou.t much success. However, Jim said that in addfition to these the boy might have a few of his larger traps. This fired Johnnie's am- bition, for a mink's hide is worth five dollars, a fox's four, a 'coon's three, and a fisherls six. Could he not earn a lot of money in this wray to help llift the mortgage? Trapper Jim had malde three hundred and fifty dol- lars last year-nearly enough to pay the mortgage. Anyway, Johnnie determined to trv. At the end of the ninth day after starting, they came to a small lake, just a widened part of the stream they werelfollowing. From here they entered a small tributary and pad- dled up it a few hundred yards to a rude landing, made of lo-gs laid flat on the marsh and fastened with a few stakes. Here was their destination at last. VVith weary limbs they unloaded the canoe and carried the traps and provisions over a swainpy trail through the woods, until they came to higher ground. There, nestling among a few tall cedars, was the windowless shack, with its double walls, sod ro-of, and stone chimney. From here one co-uld look over the lake, see the dark tam- aracks beyond, and, away in the distance, the evergreen-covered .slopes of the Laurentian Highlands. Yes, here was a hunter's and trapper's paradise. The next week or two Jim spent stocking the larder with moose and deer meat, for when he was -trappping he would not have much time to hunt. At last it came, the iron frost, freezing everything freezab-le, not to be unfrozen again until spring. A week after came the snow. Ah, at last! Trapper Jimw shouldered a bunch of hfty traps and with his rifle went out to make his first line of ten miles or so. Johnnie, who had to 'ftend shanty, ' help skin the fur-bearers, and cook the meals, could not make a very big line, but he did made a few sets near the shack. Once a skunk and ano-ther time a musk- rat rewarded his efforts. This did not look like much. So Trapper Jim took the risk one day of leaving the shack unguarded, took hlim the rounds, and showed him how to make the sets, the different ones for skunk, fox, mink, and fisher. That next week' John- nie had two minks and a weasel Ccalled er- mine in its winter coatj to his credit. This cheered him somewhat. February was almost gone, and Johnnie had but thirty dollars' worth of skins, while Jim had two hundred. This doesnit look as if it would be much help to fatherfi thought Johnnie. One day he went out to look at the near- by traps. Only a couple of muskrats had been caught in his water sets.

They were set at one side of a little -open snow-covered space. But only a paltry skunk rewarded him here, when he had fondly hoped fo-r a fox. Still a skunk like this one was worth a dollar and a half, not to be Usneezed at. He clubbed it over the back with a long pole and then cracked it on the head, the only way to kill this curious animal without disastrous results. He had picked it up and turned to go back when-what was that at the other end of the open? A fox surely, yet such a fox! Jet black with its If fur tipped with silver. A silver fox like some jim had told about, but had never caught. The rarest and most val- uable animal in all of Canada. The skunk dropp-ed from his fingers and the visio-n dis- appeared in the snow-hung branch-es of the hemlocks. fl-ioxes are known to follow men and watch them as though from curiosity.j That night he t-old Trapper jimv of it. This n-ews made Jim very excited. He prepared his traps, cleaned them, oiled them, and then smoked them to drown the iron and man odor. He then went out and, after some trouble, shot a rabbit in the moonlight. He rummaged in his kit and brought forth some especially prepared musk, a drop of which was irresistible to foxes. Johnnie watched this preparation. Then a thought came to him. VVhat if he could catch the prize him- self! Such a fox was worth from two hun- dred to a thousand dollars. If h-e only could! He fell asleep and dreamed of silv'er foxes. That morning when Jim was gone he went and got his biggest traps, three fox and two others. He imitated jim's prepara- tions, only he had no musk. He had an idea, however, which was better. He to-ok a fox's foot to make tracks with and a discarded rab- bit's head. All these he handled with smoked gloves, to leave no smell. Then he went to the little clearing where he had seen the fox. He walked in his sn-ow-shoes with the utmost care to make no unnecessary tracks. He scraped the snow out about three inch-es i11 depth in a four-foot circle. He then put a couple of sprung mink traps in the middle with the rabbit's head between them. Over these he lightly sprinkled snow so that parts of them still showed. Then he carefully set his five traps along the outside, putting cot- ton under each pan in the most approved fashion, to keep them from being sprung by smaller animals. He covered them up, and carefully made fox tracks with the foxis foot, leading to a near-by thicket. Then he to-ok a hemlock branch and brushed away all sgispicious marks, and he had carried out his 1 ea. :sf :r :K af -if A week later than this the silver fox came- home to his den with a stray rabbit he had managed to catch, for while other animals starved because of the scarcitygof game, the cunning of this fox carried him through. He would not be caught in jim's well-set traps, for he had long ago learned, through sad eX- perience, to despise the musk of trappers, and spurned such settings. He had noticed that his mate was having less and less to do with him of late. Soon there would be a litter of little blind foxes down there in the comfortable den, and he must keep his mate in provisions in the meanwhile. To-night, when he tried to enter the b-urrow, she growled, showed her teeth, and blocked the entrance. She would not let him enter. Then he knew, dropped the rab- bit witho-ut parley, and went out to hunt som-ething for himself. Ah, a rabbit! He ran swiftly after it, for he had not tasted food for two days now, and hunger lent to his speed. He had gained on it-yes, only one more leap and he would have it-a streak of gray, a thud, a snarl, and the fox dug his feet into the crust to check his speed. A spitting lynx had his rab-- bit. But might is right in the wilderness, so the crestfallen, angry fox slunk off through. the underbrush after a few futile snarls and growls. All the rest of the night and far into the morning he hunted in vain. A cruel, remorseless fate was driving him on. Qnce a great snowy owl came near swooping down at him, for it too was hungry, but thought better of it. A bitter hatred of this marauder from the north filled the breast of the fox, for these owls, driven from the far north by the cold are largely responsib-le for the lack of game in this part of the winter. At last he sought a sheltered nook and slept. At dusk he awoke, a great hunger in his stomach. He hunted again well into the night. The stars cracked in the heavens, the- cold was getting intense. But what was this ?' The fox sniffed the air. Yes, it was a rab-- bity smell. He followed it up, and came to the little open space in the hardwood ridge- 43 ,PHE WEsTPoRT PIIGH SCHOOL HERALD. He saw a fox's track, smelt a smoky odor mingling with that of the rabbit. He ap- proached cautiously. The smoky smell warned him, but his sense told him that another fox had been th-ere and exposed the traps, as foxes always do when they can. But why this other fox had not taken the rabbit head did not seem to enter his mind. There were the sprung traps and the head, whi-ch would satisfy his hunger to an extent. The traps were harml-ess. Yes, everything was safe. He stepped forward in the tracks of that other fox, his quivering nose reached out eagerly to seize the prize. Snap! He was a prisoner. In vain he tugged to get rid of that remorseless piece of iron. He dragged it around, he gnawed it. He buried it under the snow and started triumphantly away. No! The trap was still there. The drag would not let him go far, and finally, worn out, he lay down to- X I That morning the boy fOuHd 21 C16-Hd fOX in his trap. I-Iow it died. he could not tell, for it appeared to be uninjured. Trappers sometimes find their catches dead in this manner. Some say they freeze to death, but this fox was not frozen yet. Some say of starvation, but a mere fast of three days would not kill a fox. A few say that the high-strung wild creature cannot endure to be caught and deprived of freedom. This last must be accepted, therefore, as an answer to the question, unless a better be devised. i That spring the mortgage was paid, with something to spare, and Johnnie was the hero of the village, for he alone of all its people had caught a silver fox. George D. Hull, '10. A Good Samaritan. 9 9 Dick was escorting Miss Dorothy King to a party on the South Side. In Dick's opin- ion, Dorothy with her brown hair, blue eyes, and rippling laugh was the sweetest and brightest girl in all the territory west of the Mississippi. Fares, please. The conductor was collecting the fares in the front end of the crowded Country Club car, and Dick carelessly reached his hand in- to his vest pocket for his change. He found there the stub of a lead pencil, a penknife, two theater checks, and a laundry ticket, but no money. Without hesitation, his hand passed qui- etly to another pocket, with no better result, and an anxious look appeared on his face. The conductor was gradually approaching. In his right hip pocket his search was re- warded by the discovery of a coin, and his brow cleared for an instant, but closer in- spection found it to be a stray penny, and Dick, whose father was a wealthy banker, and who consequently had a larger allowance than a young man of his age ought to spend, realized for the first time in his life the real value of money. In short, Dick was broke In desperation he tried to think of some way by which he could extricate himself from his predicament, for he could not possibly explain his conxdition to the unconscious Dorothy. 'fFares please, fares please, sounded the harsh voice of the conductor as he drew nearer. It was the winter of IQO8, and it occurred to Dick that he might assume an air of hau- teur and offer the conductor a check, with the cool announcement that he desired to as- sist the banks through the financial stringen- cy by using checks instead of currency, but, unfortunately for this plan, Dick had no check-book with him. Miss Dorothy was chatting about the last club dance and appeared to be unconscious of Dick's trouble. 'fThis is worse than a bad dream, thought Dick, and he felt the cold perspiration on his brow, 'but 'fOft what seems A trifie, a mere nothing by itself, In some nice situation. turns the scale Cf Fate, and rule-s the most important actionsf' As Dick looked rapidly about him, he saw something shining on the floor.

To the eyes of the almost crazed Dick the sight of that little piece of silver was more attractive than the most beautiful landscape. Across the aisle was a tired-looking lit- tle woman. She was about seventy-five years old, neatly but plainly dress-ed, and bore evi- dences of straitened circumstances. From the position in which the coin lay, it seemed quite probable that it had been dropped by the old lady, but Dick was in no conditio-n to consider qu-estions of ownership. The pos- session of that dime was the solutio-n of his difficulty. He cautiously moved his foot over until it rested upon the dime. Carelessly dropping a glove beside his foo-t, he stooped to pick it up and rose triumphantly, just as the con- ductor reach-ed him. The conductor dropped the dime into his coin-box, rang up two fares, and Dick was once more in a condition to listen to the music of Dorothy's voice. But, alas for poor Dick! His troubles were not yet over. As he listened to Miss Dorothy his attention was called to a dispute between the old lady and the conductor. I tell you, said the old lady, I had ten cents tied up in my handkerchief when I got on the car and I know it was here a few min- utes ago. It has dropped down on the floor, or else someone has taken it. And the old lady looked accusingly at a colored woman, who sat just behind her. 'fDon't you cast no insinuations on mef' said the colored woman. I hain't seen no money nowheresg 'fore de Lord, I hain't. Everybody in that end of the car be-came interested, while the conductor and the old lady searched for the lost dime and the negro continued her protestations of innocence in a loud voice. Dorothy, too, was looking in the direction of the disturbance, evidently interested in the old lady's troubles, much to Dick's discom- fort. He wondered if she expected him to pay the poor woman's car-fare. It was the only decent thing to do. VVhat an unfeeling brute she must think him to be! l He tried to create a diversion.by point- ing to the advertisements framed in the top of the car. One bore the legend: Are the athletes strong? Well I should stutter, They daily feast on VKfestDOff QP!- ter. Multum zu Parco. He called Dorothyis attention to another which read as follows: Young men and women, don't be rash, Cut down expense and save your cash, Though panics come and banks may smash, We still may live on Gristle's Hash. Sold everywhere? Though she smiled faintly, she evidently had no heart to appreciate the subtle humor of a street-car advertisement at this time. She again looked at the woman's distressed face and cast an appealing glance at Dick. But Dick pretended not to see, and a hard look of indignation appeared on her face. She almost turned her back on him, saying: Poor woman! I wond-er why someone doesn't help her. Alas for Dick! His cup of despair was full to the brim. He squared his shoulders and was about to confess the truth. It were better that Dorothy should know that he was embarrassed by lack of money than that she sho-uld think fhim mean and selfish. just at this moment the car rattled across Thirty-first Street and a small, red-faced newsboy dug his elbow into Dick's ribs and whispered to Dick: What 's the matter, boss? Busted ? Dick looked down and saw Tom lfVilson, the boy who sold him newspapers on the street, looking up into his face. Dick nodded gravely, and, to his surprise, a grimy hand was thrust into his pocket and a second later Dick found a half-dollar resting securely at the bottom thereof. One grateful wink. at the small boy and Richard was himself again. He stepped gallantly forward and paid the old lady's fare just as the condiuctor was about to stop the car for the purpose of ejecting her. The thanks of the old lady, the resp-ectful look on the old darky's face were hardly no- ticed to Dick, but the look of adm-iration and pride on Dorothy's countenance lifted him back to the skies, and he was once more in the realms of delight again. A moment later he leaned down and whis- pered to Tom, You're a brick, old man. Come to my house to-morrow. That party was an important event in the lives of both Dick and Dorothy, for from Q 50 ,PHE Wrgsiiroiar I'IIGH SCHOOL HERALD. that time on, it was plain that Dorothy had more than a sisterly feeling for Dick. The next morning Tom went to Dick's house, and after the debt had been paid with I,ooo per cent interest, Dick said to Tom, My boy, I shall never forget youg but tell me, how did you know. that I was strapped Pl' Sure thingf' said Tom, I knew that you was one of the guys that says, 'Keep the changef when you buys a paper, and that you would never have gone back on the lydy with yo-ur girl a-lookin' on so long as you had a penny in your pocket.

He pointed out on the map a little place by the name of Mayswood. His plan was to go- up by rail, their launch our canoe, and drift down the winding Missouri past the city to the mouth of the Blue River and up it to Fifteenth Street. Hank was all enthusiasm for his aquatic expedition and painted its joys in glowing colo-rs. He ended by saying: You 'd better com-e along. I've asked Mac, and he is goingf' Mac is a dressy friend of ours, and would shine at Electric Park, or some place like that, but I never suspected him of being a prize-taker in a canoe. I knew Hank to be a veteran on the river and a bully good fel- low, but I never had any visions of seeing Mac in a canoe wearing blisters on his lily white hands with a paddle. If he could stand the strain of a cruise on the Missouri, I could. By thunder! I'm on, I roared, whereat we all shook hands on it to seal our agreement. Friday morning rolled around, and seven oiclock found us with all of our traps aboard the train. On our way up we heard of a certain resort called Horseshoe Lake, fa- mous partly on account of the number of game fish it contains, and partly on account of the meals that are served at the farmhouse situated there. A visit to this lake m-eant only a four-mile pull up stream, and we de- cided to take a shot at it at all hazards. We tumbled off at Mayswood, found our canoe, with sails, paddles, and cushions, all correct, and added our few belongings, SWCEUSCFS, heavy flannel shirts, and grub, As just two can paddle a canoe conven- iently at once, I suppose the question that arose in Mads mind was, VVho are the two to be P He looked at me with a questioning look, thrust his hands deep down in his pock- ets, and said: Do you want to row Pi' Well, I got peevish at once and said: 0h! I'm not fussy abo-ut it, and besides, I want you to know you don't row a canoe, you pad- dle it. f'Can you paddle, Mac ?H Hank asked. Sure,', he replied, and stumbling into the canoe, he sat down in the bow anxious to show us his ability. Finally we got started and headed the prow of the boat up stream, bound for Horseshoe Lake against a good strong wind. Mac handles a paddle like a hoe, he digs wiay down deep in the water and paddlles with the edge of it. At every stroke of his o-ar w-e rocked like a sloop in a gale. After he had taken a few strokes on one side, he shifted his paddle, and Hank and I were as busy as jugglers trying to keep the canoe from swamping. 'fHow did you learn to paddle ? I asked Mac, by correspondence ?,' No, by watching other people, he re- plied. How do you like my stroke P Oh, fine! I answered, but doesn't it make yo-u tired PM Chl it makes my wrists ache, he ad- mitted. Well, it makes my heart ache, I replied, so you swap places with me and rest your sweet and tender sides by watching me do the heavyf' We finally got around the bend. There the current was so strong we could make no headway, so we pulled for the shore and b-eached the canoe. This was something new to Mac, so he asked us what our intentio-ns were. Why, we ire going to play a little game called canal-boating, drawled Hank. Do-n't you want to be the tower? Now Mack didn't know what that was, ... -2, D 52 THE VVESTPORT IIIGH SCHOOL l1ERALD. but rather than sa that he didnt he an- y Rf 1 swered, t'Yes, if the stakes aren't too highf' Hank assured him that the stakes were few and far between, so we put him to .work on the bank, pulling us with a rope, while Hank and I kept the boat away from the bank. IfVe continued this on upstream for about a mile, and we could see that Mac was getting peevish by the way he would say, Oh, shucks V, and other things ev-ery time his foot slipped. He was puffing and grunting like an old engine, and I was agraid he was go- ing to quit on us, so I said, braggingly: Mac, I have seen a few fellows tow a canoe, but, by my buttons! I never saw a fellow that could pull like you. Wfhy, you are a regular mule l At this Mac puffed up as proud as a peacock, and said that he wasn't a bit tired, but was good for the whole way. Hank gave me the wink and we smiled up our sleeves. I 'll wager if his mother could have seen him work then, she 'd have pinned a ro-se on him. W'hen we arrived at the lake, after toiling for almost three hours against the Missouri River current, we were tiredg but when we cast our peepers on that mudhole of a pond, the things we said would not be fit for our sisters to read. NVe were so disgusted that we felt like a trio of whipped puppies, and I was afraid to look at either Mac or Hank, for fear they would take my head off for enticing them to come here, so I didn't say a word. But Hank and I reversed the pad- dles and started back down stream. Well, the wind was blowing steadily down stream, so we raised our sail. Now, if you had had your pick between a duck and the VVono- shavvi' as to which was the faster, your money would have been safe with us, for we certainly had it on anything that ever fol- lowed the course of the Hold INIissou.3' Wie were a happy three all right.

VVe were so lost with pleasure that Hank let the Wono-shaw', strike a sand-bar. VVe pushed and pulled and shoved, but she only stuck to the sand like grim death to a bro-om-handle. As our ship was stopped, we drew straws to see who would walk. I drew the shortest, so had to depart via the hoof route to the bank. Now, I always did hate to wade, es- pecially if the temperature was fairly low, so I decided to stand on the prow, jump as far as I could, and tramp the remaining distance. I got poised and was just ready to jump, when a gust of wind struck me, I lost my balance and slipped, landing head first in the water. Hank sure has a sense of humor, espe- cially if the joke 's on someone else, and he laughed and guffawed and haw-hawed till I thought he was going to burst his diaphragm. Then, when I thought Hank was almost wind- ed, Mac commenced Hel he ln No-w, I will admit that I was pretty scared when I fell in, but when I came to and saw tho-se two galoots haw-hawing and tee-heefing, I was rather riled up and said: 'fLaugh, darn you, laugh! At this they almost croaked, and I guess that if I had a reproduction of myself at that moment, it would be worth a premium. That water fe-lt like the drippings off the North Pole, and with the temp-erature at 32 degrees I felt as if some demonstrator were pouring a can of liquid air down my back. After a fresh start, we went on our way rejoicing, with Mac and Hank at the paddles. I thought that it was about time we were seeing some duck, so I got my gun ready. Mac opened the Hgrubf' We had beans, cookies, and canned pineapple. VVhen Hank saw our repast, he sneered, Delicacies ll' with contempt, but Mac and I noticed that he ate more canned pineapple than we did. VVhile we were stowing away some up- holstering under our belts, a flock of ducks wheeled over the water. Hank remarked that he wished he had a duck-call. Mac said that he could call ducks as well as anyone, so we decided to give him a chance at the next flock. Pretty soon we gave him the word, and there rose a volume of shrill: Duckie, duckie, nice duckie, come to Mickief' Now when I heard this I wanted to lasso him and revive him with a kick, but I rem-embe-red I once belonged to the Band of Mercy, so I let him suffer. Wlieii we passed the bend in the river, we could not use our sail, so we drifted quietly with the current. I wrapped my heavy over- coat around me and watched for some form of animal life to blaze at. Wfe came upon a lone duck floating calmly along. I quieted Mac-and Hank with a HI-Iush, hush! and was just drawing a good bead on 'IM11 Tealv when Mac turned around and said: 'fjiggerl Bill, once whei sh-e ! with we ' S aboi told Blue wort Cox ing nevf ting witl' Bric few to 1 and in tl war Har he mor sayi to c whc Riv low, so as far istance. jump, ost my in the , espe- and he l till I hra.gm. t wind- I will I f-ell se two I was 'n you, and I myself emium. iff the 1 at 32 r were ack. ir way addles. 2 were ready. beans, Hank V' with he ate ne up- ducks ed that id that so we e next wo-rd, Duckie, Now im and tered I ', so I fer, we quietly f over- 2 form ipon a iuieted ! and Teal Tigger!

If I had shot without paying any attention to the simp, we would have been a duck to the good. We arrived at the foot of Main Street about 6:30, and some old hero of the river told us we could reach the mouth of the Blue by sundown if we worked. Hank set to work like a trooper, but any old follower of Coxey's Army chopping wood for his morn- ing meal had Mac looking like a piker.'i I never said a word, but I noticed it was get- ting dark awful fast and getting cold along with it. W'hen we passed the Milwaukee Bridge we could just distinguish objects a few fe-et ahead of us, so I told Hank to stick to the right bank, but he only looked wise and kept straight ahead. It was soon as dark as pitch, and we were in the middle of the Missouri River. I didn't want to say, I told you so, but I did tell Hank to keep to the jackson County side, and he didn't do it. The more I thought, the more I was reminded of Elbert Hubbard's saying: 'God bless a fellow wh-o can see what to do without being told, God help a fellow who has to be told once, but- Anyone who has been on the Missouri River knows how cold it gets after the sun goes down, and there we were. My clothes were so wet they clung to my sides like skin to a potato-, and my chattering teeth sounded like the pop-popv of a motor boat across the river. I was dead tired, but Mac said that he was as fresh as a daisy, so I kept my mouth shut, although I knew somebody had -falsified. NVell, we kept on going down stream for another hour or so, and still we saw no signs of the Blue, so we stopped and built a fire on an island. At about IO o'clock we left there with our motto, 'fBlue or bust! Point- ing our prow toward the right bank, we started down stream. You can bet your last collar button we weren't singing then. Hank and Mac had laughed when I brought my overcoat along, but now the laugh was on them, and way down deep in their hearts I knew they wished for more than an overcoat. Just as we were wondering whether Lex- ington, Boonville, or St. Louis was to be our next stop, we glided into dead water. NVhen we realized it was the Blue, we were relieved, and paddled like demons for the boat-house. VVe were also relieved when we caught a good warm car, but when we saw the hall light burning and soon afterwards hit a downy bed, we were more than reliev'ed-we were happy.

Youfwere .to blame in a way, of course, but we 're not holding .it against you. I don't suppose one fellow in fifty in the grand-stand, or on the diamond for that matter, would ever have thought of that rule if Merkle hadn't lost the pennant for the New York Giants that way last year. Every second baseman in the country is on the look- out for that very play, now. It isn 't strange someone should get caught on it. Come o-n now, old boy, cheer up! We ill win next week and get the championship just the samef' Harry Long thrust his hands deep into his pockets and turned disconsolately to the win- dow. I wish you were as sure of winning next Saturday as you sound, but with Whit- n-ey too sick to pitch and Thomas laid up so that you 'll have to play me at first, I can't see much chance for old Winton. Kirksville is the best team we 've come against this sea- son, too. Oh, come off, Harry! You can play first as good as anyone if you 'll just keep your head about you. Saturday is your great chance to redeem yourself, and Iim depending on you. Come on out of the depths, and l-et's go to practice. Harry sighed wearily and picked up his hat. All right, Wilson. You 're mighty nice abo-ut it, but I know what losing that game meant, and I.can't forget that I 'm to blame. The captain of the Winton team slapped his friend heartily on the shoulder and togeth- er th-ey left the room. The preceding Saturday an important game had been played between Winton and Albany, another team in the high school league. The game had been close and excit- ing and in the last of the ninth inning the score was tied. VVilson, captain for Winton, was on third 3 Harry Long, the substitute first baseman, on first g two men were out, and Clark, the best pinch hitter on the team, was at bat. He met the first ball pitched for a smashing drive to short. The visiting short- stop fumbled the ball an instant before throw- ing for the plate, and VVilson, who had a good lead, slid home a second ahead of the ball, while Clark arrived in plenty of time at first. But Long, seeing his captain score, turned just before touching seco-nd and ran toward the bench and the rejoicing team. The visiting second-baseman called the catcher's attention to Long's omission, the catcher threw the ball down, and the umpire called Long out. A dispute ensued. The umpire insisted that Long was forced out at second, and backed his decision with reference to a similar one ren- dered at New York the fall before. There was nothing for it. The teams were called back on the field and play was re- sumed. The visitors scored twice in the first of the tenth, and IW'inton failed to do any- thing, thus losing an important game. Long was popular both with the team and his school-fellows, and his bit of dbonehead- ednessw was forgiven by everyone but him- self and his few enemies. ' His friends tried to soothe him. His had been an excusable mistake, they insisted, but Harry took the affair to heart and remained glum and unhappy up to the day of the last and deciding game of the season. Nor was his the only gloomy face to be seen upon that brilliant Saturday morning. Captain Wilson, wore a look of anxiety, almost despair. The coach tried to- be cheerful -and encouraging, but failed miserably in the attempt. just be- fore the game he broke out to Wilson with: It's almost hopeless since Graham hurt his hand. That knocks out our two best pitchers, and a first-baseman. Goodwin sends word that he is toio lame to play. That means our heaviest hitter. It's pretty black, Wilson, but you 'll have to go- in and do the best you can. It'1l be hard with a discouraged team, too. Try to spruce Long up a little bit if you can, heis lost his nerve. And then tell the boys to do the best they can and trust to luck. If it hadn't been for o-ne bonehead in that last game, we wouldn't be worrying to-day,', he muttered. Long happened to overhear this last re- mark as he passed toward his locker, and it did not tend to increase his cheerfulness.

As it is, I suppose I'll be a mut, I usually am, for that matter? This last game together with the glorious weather had brought out a big crowd. The grand-stands and bleachers were packed with the townspeople and the rooters for both teams, who made their presence known through megaphones, cowbells, and gaudy pennants. 'Winton's brief practice was remarkably brisk and snappy. Long, the sub infielder, made some brilliant catches off first while the others acquited themselves with credit. As they trotted in to make room for their rivals on the diamond, the Winton rooters were ju- bilant and voiced their confidence in a monot- onous but enthusiastic series of 'fWhat 's the matter P Wilson began to look more cheerful. Thomas, the substitute pitcher, was warming up confidently, and Franklin, the dependable little catcher, looked more and more pleased as each separate curve, shoot or slant plumped into h.is big mit. Thomas is right, Franklin muttered as Wilson passed him on his way to the bench. Wilson smiled and nodded. Good! He 'll need steadying, though, if he gets in a tight place, and we're depending on you, Frank? I The little veteran nodded and neturned another ball to his pitcher, while Wilson pass- ed on to the bench, and dropped down beside Long, who sat there glum and dispirited. Clear off, Harry! We 're going to win this, but we 've got to fight for it. You 're going to more than make up for that little mistake of yours by helping us to victory to- day, if you 'll just put your heart in it.', Yes, Harry muttered bitterly. If I was a fellow in one of these ten-cent magazine stories, I'd stage a wonderful double play or knock a home-run with the bases full, but you know such things don't really happen. Or if someone should knock that home-run, it wouldn't be mef' The noise inthe stands suddenly subsided and the umpireis brazen voice was heard an- nouncingg The batteries for to-day. for Winton, Thomas and Franklin, for Kirks- ville. Smith and Harrison. Batter up. The first biatter for Kirksville stepped con- fidently to the plate and the game was on. The first five innings were unfruitful for both teams. Both pitchers were pitching mas- terly ball. No man had yet crossed the plate, and only one man on each team had reached second. The spectators were becoming rest- less and the players nervous and impatient. In the first of the sixth, however, Harrison, of Kirksville, opened with a clean single to right, was sacrificed to second and stole third. As Wilson had feared, his inexperienced pitch-er went into the air. Disaster resulted, and when the atmosphere cleared, four runs had crossed the plate and the Kirksville ro-ot- ers were going wild. With the soore four to no-thing, Wilson stepped to the plate. Now's your time, Wils, old kidf' shouted an enthusiast through a megaphone. Show 'em why you ,re here. VVilson promptly showed the le-ft-fielder where he should have been, and reached sec- ond before the ball was rounded up. Long, determination in his heart, met one squarely for a screaming single to center, and Wilson came home. Long soored when the big third- baseman hit for two bases, but the next men went out in order and Whinton was still two to the bad. I The following innings were brilliantly played. Thomas came to earth again and. had the opposing batsmen swinging at theuair or putting the ball into the hands of the infield- ers.

Let is have another out there in left. Come on I The Winton sympathizers were going wild with excitement now, while the Kirksvillians were holding their breath. Long stood beside th-e bench, intent and anxious. Unless Wilson made a home-run, it was up to him to score those two men just like a magazine story base-ball hero. Could he do it, or would he stand there like the immortal Casey and strike out. He jump- ed as a sharp crack broke the silence attend- ing the delivery of the ball. Wild cheers broke from the Vifintonites. Their captain was safe at first on a scratch single, while Longly was brushing the dust off himself at third. Now, Long, you ,ve got to score those two men,', shouted the coach in his ear. C'And don't fail to touch your bases. Everything in sight. Go now and redeem yourself. The noise was deafening as Long walked to the plate. The Kirksville supporters had found their voices again and were telling Long of his inperfections. He faced the pitcher and waited. The first ball looked un- certain, so he let it pass. Strike one,,' snapped the umpire. The two little words sounded unusually venomous. The visitors cheered lustily, while the man with the megaphone offered: Qnly one, old kid, never mind. You 'll get him yet. Wait for a good one and- Foul-strike two, sang the umpire. A sudden silence fell on the anxious spec- tators. He's easy-easy! from a small Kirksville urchin alone broke the tense silence. The pitcher was gathering himself for a final effort. Long felt his heart sink. Could he hit it? He must! He pulled his cap firm- ly onto his head. He saw Thomas poised tensely off third ready to score and Wilson at first. Th-e pitcher began his wind-up and Long gripped his bat. The ball sailed through the air. Long put all his strength into his swing--a hit or not a hit? That is the question. M. L. C., '10.

Une teacher, who insisted .upon clearing the halls, stepped up to Dick and asked him to please step into the study hallf, No mother, coming to help a freshman enroll, would ask Professor Dav'is for information, because they thought he was trying to decide for himself whether to take astronomy or psychology.

I-Ie might have admired some of the girls if he had not been a teacher, but as it was, no co-quetry could pull him od his seat of dignity. One day, about a month after school had begun, he was summoned to the telephone. As he went down to answer the call, he passed a line of pupils waiting to speak to the prin- cipal. His face burned, for he knew all eyes were on him. Hello! he said, in a matter-of-fact way. Is this Professor Davis ?', A gruff voice said. Yes,,' said Davis. Sir, my daughter is in your class, and I should like to speak to you concerning her. Wl1at is the name, please ?', asked Davis. Mr. Smithf' A Oh, yes, sir: your daughter is doing very well, I am glad to say, said Davis, trying to make this round very decided. But it is not her school work of which I wish to speakf, was the crisp reply. Surprise made Davis silent. After a pause the pugnacious voice resumed. By way of beginning, sir, I may say we are an English family, and consequently approve of parental supervision of affairs which Americans very unwisely, I think, leave entirely in the hands of young girls. You understand me, Profes- sor Davis ?U XV-why, no, n-not ex-eXactly,U Dick stam- mered into the mouthpiece, softly, though, for not even in this m-oment did he forget to pre- serve his dignity before that line of waiting students. :'Frankly, Professor Davis, my wife and I agree that our little daughter is still too young to receive any attention from a gentleman. I-Ie-r inexperience would regard as important that which to you is a mere trifle, such as the gift of flowers.

The reply to this timid and polite question was a ringing laugh, that sounded all too familiar to Davis. Dickie, just call for your old adviser, he who warned you of the perils threatening the young and beautiful. And, Dickie, this would be a wonderfully gcod joke to tell the fellows -far be it from me to suggest a bribe, but donit you think it would be wise for you to come prepared to pay this evening?

There were old Indian arrow-heads of the crudest types, stone mallets and pottery dug from the mounds and graves of a vanished race, curiously carved and pict- ured fragments of vol- canic rock , ivory pagodas and ebony vessels in min- and japan, dating back to the Middle Ages, besides numberless other relics. Stowe listened attentively as T om explained about those objects which happened to attract his notice -especially. Finally his eye fell upon a curious greenish-blue object in a separate case. He looked closer, and saw made of stone, carved to represent am Wu iatu re, from China that it was a beetle. VVhat is it? he asked. It is a genuine Egyptian scarabeusf, Tom replied. As you see, it is minutely inlaid with gold, grandfather found it himself and gave it to me with the rest of this collection. Did I ever tell you the story of it ?',. No,', Stowe replied, but you might just as well now. I have nothing special to do. All right, then. My grandfather used to tell the sto-ry to me when I was a boy, and I begged for it so often that now I know it al- most by heart as he used to tell it. It was about the middle of the last cent- ury. My grandfather, now dead, but then a young man, fascinated by the study of Egyptian ruins and remains, was journeying slowly up the Nile, deciphering the inscrip- tions in tombs and on walls. pillars, sar- cophagi, and what-not that he found. At last, far up the Nile, he came upon a little village of nomadic Bedouins, and, as there was no other settlement near, and the region was full of old Egyptian relics, he de- cided to stop here among this crafty and rapacious people, the better to explore and investigate the surrounding countr Accord and is inscribed in Egyptian. My ' ., b e . . b 57, A - mgly, knowing their language, he struck ur an acquaintance with their chief or sheik, and endeavored to establish himself in the good graces of the communityf' Tom settled himself more comfortably in his chair and then resumed: 0ne day as my grandfather was tramping alone, but armed, through the desert, at a distance from.the village, he came upon a small range of lime- stone hills or cliffs, and proceeded toward the foot of one of them. VV hen near it, he noticed that the sand beneath his feet was intermixed with great quantities of bits of broken pot- tery, marble, and alabaster, Hakes of green and blue glaze, bleached bones, shreds. of yellow linen, and lumps of som-e odd-looking, dark brown substance, like dried-up sponge. I-Ie knew that all these things meant violated graves underfoot,-despoiled, probably, by the Arabs, that the strips of linen were shreds of cerement cloth, and that the curious brown lumps were lumps of dried-up human flesh. He immediately searched for som-e trace of a tomb nearby, and while thus looking about he perceived a crack in the base of the cliff. He hastened to it, and found a group of painted figures carved in bass-relief on the rock on either side of the crack. They were those usually placed above a doorway, and the dinginess of their coloring assured him that they had just recently been uncovered by the shifting sands. f'Scraping away the sand, he was soon able to look through the ever-widening crack, but all was dark within, and nothing could be seen. Then, inserting the long staff he carried, he moved it ab-out, but it met no ob- struction. He decided to return to the vil- lage and get men and shovels, torches, ropes, and various other things, for he knew not what he might find within the tomb, and such he felt certain it was. Once in the village, my grandfather ap- plied to the sheik for supplies and a gang of men, promising to pay him well. The sheik replied that they would be ready in the morning. 'fDuring the evening. as my grandfather was roaming about the village. he noticed that in the sheik's tent-a large affair-were a number cf nren, conversing earnestly. I-Ie Y . . . . nf.. , W..

He THE Wizsrpoivr HIGH SCHOOL HERALD. 59 thought nothing of it, but when morning came, he set out with his band over the desert to the tomb in the limestone cliffs. Tom once more stopped and settled him- self in his chair. Then he continued: VVhen he arrived at the tomb, he set the Bedouins to work digging away the drifted sand from before the doorway. This was soon finished, and a passage was revealed by the faint light, leading back into the heart of the hill. Torches were lighted for the exploration, since the only light within came from the doorway just uncovered. Whei1 all had been made ready, my grandfather entered, holding high his torch to pierce the gloom, the men following close behind, all in a body. They proceeded thus through long winding passages, bare of every- thing but the sculptured hieroglyphics on the walls. Finally, when just below the summit of the hill--as my grandfather calculated- they turned a sharp corn-er and suddenly en- tered a most wonderful chamber, cut from the living rock. It evidently had never been found before. Strange inscriptions, painted in glowing col- ors, covered the walls. Numerous statues of noblemen-more Greek than Egyptian-in the same vivid colors, stood about the room. A small table, curiously ornamented with gold and silver, stood in one corner, and on it was 'a scarabeus, inlaid with gold and inscribed with the Sixth Chapter of the 'Book of the Deadf My grandfather hastily picked it up and put it in his po-cket. Then, leaving this chamber, intending to come back later and secure the treasures it contain-ed, he led the way past a pair Of isphinxes which guarded the door, and on through a short hall, inscribed in the sam-e manner with hieroglyphics and ornamented with statues, till he came to a door formed of a single solid slab of dressed and inscribed -granite which blocked the path. Finding, however, that this was poised delicately on hinges or pivots which allowed it to be swung to a side, with the help of a couple of the men he pushed it open, the rest of the Bedouins standing closely about, the torch-light playing strangely on their wild and covetous faces. For one moment, and for one moment only, did my grandfather gaze in wonder, ex- perienced as he was, on the sight within. The tomb-chamber of an ancient Egyntian mon- arch it was. Qnly for a moment did my grandfather see by th-e torchlight the glitter of proifuse gold, the glare and gleam of daz- zling white marbleg the rich glow of velvety tapestries hanging about the painted mummies in the enormous black sarcophagi, and the dazzling Hash of brilliant precious gems-then, as by one signal, ev'ery torch was suddenly extinguished, his own by anothe-r's hand-and the brilliant scene was plunged in gloom. A serpentine movement on his right-the grip of hngers at his throat-a swish of something in the air-a crash-and all was blank. When he awoke, my grandfather was ly- ing on the sand at the foot of the cliff, alone, deserte-d, dizzy, and sick. The passageway of the tomb yawned b-efore him, but there was no sign of torch or rope. Arising, leaning on his staff, which had been left him, he slowly and painfully proceeded toward the village on the Nile. Vlfhen he arrived at its site, he found no village there, but only the signs of a hastily abandoned encampment. Despairing, he felt in his pocket. Yes, the scarabeus was ftill there-overlooked, doubtless, though how he knew not. A few hours later he hailed a passing boat., and was taken to a town where he could obtain medical care. My grandfather never revisited the tomb -he knew it to be futile. And so that scar- abeus you see is the sole souvenir and me- mento of the tomb in the limestone hills.

Her mother never knew when she would choose to tell all the family affairs, and her older sister, Alice, stood in mortal terror of her. Her hair was tangled, her nose was freckled, her eyes sparkled, and she lisped. On this particular summer afternoon, Polly, swinging h-er sunbonnet bv the strings, hippity'hopped'l down the dusty road until she came to the spring. Standing upon a big, Hat rock, she looked all around to make sure she was not observed. Then she felt underneath a ledge of rock close to the ground. At first a disappointed expression came into her face, then she chuckled, and drew out a white envelope. Yeth, he 'th written another 'n, she whispened to herself, and then added, VVouldn't Alith be mad if she thought I knew! Gee! I'm glad he never thealth hith letterth, or elth I'd have to tear ,em open, she thought as she threw herself down on the grass and spr-ead out the paper before her. 'Deczvfetlzt A Z1iZLl'l'.'

Johnnie pricks up his ears and listens. It's an egg-beater. Hurrah ! shouts Johnnie with an Indian war-whoo-p which he immediately quiets. Then, after cautiously banging the side-door as a ruse intended for mother, he tiptoes as quietly as possible to the dining-room table and squeezes his small body between the two middle legs. A savory odor from the kitchen raised his expectations to the highest degree. He knew well what was going on. He could shut his eyes and see a big kitchen Hlled with steam and smells and a neat old colored woman with her head tied up in a red bandana, beating mounds of frosty whiteness. All at once the Uchink, chinkl' ceased. ,Iohnnie could see in his mindls eye that honored personage of the A--- -- ---- - --A - -- 'W ,-1.-ve. .-J. -H1 - .

A round ginger cake was drawn out and put on a greased paper, after being satisfactorily tested with a broom-straw. Thereupon it was conveyed to the pantry-window. But Johnnie's chance had not yet come, for he waited until the icing was on before he swiped any cake. Again he heard that utensil, designed to change the commonest sea of liquid to a mass of white-caps and foam, begin its rhythniical beat. To Johnnie it said Cake, cake, cake, cake, until he got wiggly and twisty. He was about to emerge from the lower regions of the table and give up his project, when again the heating ceased. After waiting a reasonable length of time for the cake to be iced CJohnnie knew all the intricacies of the cake businessj, the youth- ful plotter crept to the side-door, and this time did not bang it. He knew his ground well now, and was not afraid of discovery. Ambushed behind the lilac-bush, he bided his time. When the time and chance came, John- nie hesitated. It was easier to think about acting than to act, in the face of the anger of the individual of the knotted bandana and of his mother. And besides-this sudden thought made Johnnie sit down hard on the grass from which he had risen for action- he might be too bad a criminal to be president when he grew up. Maybe presidents didnlt like cakes as well as Johnnie did. Just then that cake was very much in danger of sitting on the pantry-window until dinner, when Johnniels wandering gaze sud- denly spied his affinity playing in the back- yard of the adjoining house. No doubt re- mained in Johnnie's mind. He had rather have love in a cottage than no love in the VVhite House. Slowly the cake slipped from its place, tipped and almost fell, ,so far did Johnnie have to reach. His heart leaping with love, and his mouth watering with expectation, Johnnie carefully slipped the cake under the fence, then climbed over, and carried it to where his beloved one was climbing an apple- tree, to the detriment of her white dress. XVant some cake? inquired Johnnie in an unconcerned way, as though he had whole cakes to Npieoe ony' every day. I should say so l replied his loved one with no assumed airs, as she rapidly de- scended the apple-tree. Thereupon they fell to, seated with backs to the tree, carefully concealed from the hous-es. What a peaceful scene they inad-e, sitting on the green grass under the flowering tree! Th-e scene at John- niejs home a few hours later was not so peace- ful. Oh! if that personage of the red ban- dana had only muffled her egg-beater! Hazel Shavfafard, ,1Z. .1 .16 .,.1515.5f .

S The members of THE HERALD Staff feel sure that the slight increase in the cost of this yearis Animal will make' no difference to THE HERALD'S subscribers. The change in price from twenty-live to thirty-five cents was imperative, as the paper is much larger than ever before and proportionately more ex- pensive. The present price is not necessarily a permanent one, as this matter will be left to the discretion of next year's Staff. A num- ber of those who have had a hand in this year's TTERALD will not be here for another term of service. Those to graduate are: Mar- garet N. Jackson and Gertrude Schauflier, editors-in-chief, Rowena Campbell, one of the literary editors, and Elizabeth Iewett, an ex- change editor. Witli the growth of the great new school, with its doubled enrollment, there has been developing a new 'Westport spirit. The South Side pupils have always been loyal to their school, but this year even m-ore so than usual. This may be due partly to the fact that the Wiestportites now have a school o-f which they can well boast and which they feel proud to support. But there are other reasons in addition to that. One large factor in the growth of our school spir- --:A it has been the Rooters' Club, formed for the first time this year by the b3ys of the school. Early in the second term the club had a number of meetings, to which all the boys who could make a noise tand the ex- ceptions are fewj were urged to come. Va- rious VVestport songs and yells were prac- ticed, with the result that at the succeeding inter-scholastic events of the year the 'Blue and the Gold have been royally supported, both by the original Rooters' Club and by the other pupils, whom they inspired. The or- ganizing of this band of Rooters has been a great thing for the school and is a splendid beginning in the line of increasing school pa- triotism. May the pupils of Wfestport ever fight with all their mightw for their Alma Mater and stand ready in victory or defeat, athletic or literary, to support Wfestport! The saying, Ulf you don't succeed at Hrst, try, try againf' is a very old one and a very tiresome one to have drilled into you when you feel that your elforts along some line have been useless. Yet it is the best quota- tion that THE l'TERALlJ Staff knowg t0 Qffer to the contributors whose articles do not ap- pear on the pages of this HER.'XT,D.

So don't be discour- aged if your particular effort seems to have been wasted. lt may have been because of a surplus of that particular kind of material. More stories and sketches have been handed in than anything else. There is really a need of some poetic genius at VVestport as well as of other pupils who can corral funny locals and exchanges.

Cn-e of the most difficult problems which school authorities have to cope with is the question of government in the high school. Many plans have been suggested and exper- imented with. but as yet no-ne has proved more satisfactory generally than that of self- government. Four years ago this plan was put into operation in th-e Polytechnic High School of Los Angeles, Cal. A committee compos-ed of one boy and one girl from each class- room was appointed, whose duty it was to try and jrdge all pupils sent to them by teachers or fellow committee members for misdemeanor. In self-government, as in any new radical movement, the development had to be grad- ual. As occasions arose, new rules had to be made, new committees formed, and addi- tions made to the system, all of which took time and experience. VVith careful supervision, this plan has prospered and grown until to-day it is no longer an experiment, but an established policy. The system, as used to-day, consists of two branches Cboys and girlsj, which are chosen by election semi-annually. The rep- resentation allowed is as follows: Each Freshman roll hour class, I repre- sentative. Each Sophomore roll hour class 2 repre- sentatives. Each junior roll hour class 3 representatives. Each Senior ro-ll hour class 4 representatives. P. G.s are allowed two representatives at large. The two branches are entirely separate, but are conducted on the same general plan. At the hrst meeting of the elected representa- tives a chairman is chosen and various com- mitteees appointed. The more important of these are: the desk commmittee,,' one memb-er of which must sit at a desk provided every hour in the day, to file and register -excuses for absence and tardinessg the executive committeef, whose duty it is to try and sen- tence all offenders, the f'scholarship commit- teef' consisting of members whose standing warrants them in the helping o-f failures, and the information committee,,' whose duty it is to give out information to the students and arrange for the care of visitors. This com- mittee also has charge of assemblies. The Associated Student Body Qrganiza- tion is the supreme court of the school, so to speak. Its members are the chairmen of the various committees and two faculty mem- bers. Its duty is to try appealed cases, at- tend to the financial business of the school, pass on constitutional amendments, supervise athletics and award emblems. Such training in self-government during the four years of high school life will go far toward producing self-governing citizens. And what is a school if not a place for such development. This plan has proved most satisfactory wherever given a fair trial. Are we to be outdone by the schools of Philadel- phia. Pittsburg, St. Louis, Los Angeles and El Paso. Smfnzzm' N. Blossom, '10.

The Senior Class of 1909 has distinguished itself by inaugurating a new feature in the school. Cn the 16th of April the first Senior play was presented, a comedy in three acts, entitled A Scrap of Paper. The cast was as follows: Prosper C0zn'a1n0nZ. .

Louis Owen acted the debonnaire man of the world to perfection Cmaybe it is naturalj. William Hamner, in the part of the bash- ful suitor, seemed quite in his element. The eccentric characters were excellently portrayed by Reid Hillyard and Paul Childs, who showed their ability in the respective parts of a jealous husband and an effeminate Englishman. Dorothy jones, in the difficult part of Sneanne, surpassed the expectations of even her mo-st intimate friends. She made an ideal leading lady, while Marguerite Guy, as the wife, rose above excellence. The audience was greatly entertained by Hazel Murphy's acting in the character of the exacting old maid. i- 741- v - - 41 1 f Jain 5146 ff-F Margaret jackson, as the demure little horsewoman, was admirably suited to her part. The parts of the aristocratic servants were skillfully done by Eliza Kimball and Clinton Armstrong, while lvVilbur McKee was a very proper valet. Riva Carr made an excellent matron, showing her motheriy dignity, and her de- spair over the attitude of the modern servant. The play was a success from the financial as well as the dramatic standpoint, 996 tick- -ets being sold. .T.T.Mi.-. The Junior Prom. Un Friday night, June the Iith, the juniors enertained the Seniors with a delight- ful reception and dance. The juniors were fortunate in securing the permission of the Board to use the Gymnasium for the dancing. The guests were limited to the members of the junior and Senior classes, and the affair was chaperoned by members of the Faculty. A short and entertaining programme was given in the Auditorium, after which the guests adjourned to the Gymnasium and danced. For those who are not blessed with the art of tripping the light fantastic toe en- tertainment was provided upstairsj At one end of the first floor hall was placed a fine Victor T alking Machine, which furnished ex- cellent music for many delightful promenades. Delicious refreshments were served in the lunch-room about IO o'clock. Cn the whole, this fir-st junior in the new school was a decided success.

Although the public have been admitted several times to the new VVestport High, they were not given a chance to inspect it thor- o-ughly until the night of April 23d. All rooms were open and the teachers received in their respective rooms. The laboratories had all apparatus on ex- hibition. In the Physics laboratory the visit- ors had a chance to see their bones through an X-ray. In the Zoology rooms the guests were not only entertained by looking at some different animals, but in the class-room they saw many interesting slides through the mag- ic lantern. The Physiology laboratory dis- played many interesting physical models. The Baragraph was also an object of great inter- est. The apparatus of the Chemistry room was especially interesting. In the Gymnasium the apparatus was all on exhibition, and a good class of boys gave illustrations of its use. Many tempting dishes prepared by the Cooking pupils were to be seen in the Cook- ing room. A model dinner-table was set, all ready for the guests to take their seats. The Sewing room looked very much like a bargain-day sale, the work of the pupils being displayed on tables and walls. After the visitors had inspected the build-- ing, the bells called them to the Auditorium, where they gained more information about the duilcling froin the interesting speakers on the following programme: Orchestra-Largo. . . . . . . . . . .Hcmdaif Chorus- Nightingale and Rosen. . .Lelme1 t. ulia McCoy, Georgie Southwell, Frank Henderson, Luther B.

Miss Bunce gave a powerful por- trayal oi the famous scene from The Span- ish Gypsy? Her voice-control and gestures were admirable.

Helen Degen, who passed the highest exam- ination in American history. Professor Un- derwood presented the prizes fo-r the best HERALD covers to joseph Guthrie for the Mid-year number, and to Lyle Wells for the Annual. The address of Dr. james Naismith was of great interest. Dr. Naismith has been a leader in this country for clean athletics, and his sane ideas on physical culture have done much to keep the athletics of the VV est on a high plane. He would not eliminate compe- tition, but would free contests -of all bitter- ness and unsportsmanlike tactics. Manual Training as a School Study. p Of what value to .the high schoo-1 stu- dent is manual training PM is la question often asked by the people at large. Possibly the most serious criticism of the work of the high school is that it does not prepare the graduate to meet the demands made by the business world. The pupil has a store of knowledge which he does not know how to apply 5 he has ideas, but they have n-o connection with actual practice. It is the office of manual train-ing to fill in this gap, and thus follow the thought by a complete piece of work. During the construction of any piece of work, conditions and demands are constantllt changing, and the student is called upon, of necessity, to create new means to meet them. The logical pro-cess followed in creating skill along this line makes manual training rise to the level of scientific or mathemat- ical studies as a means of intellectual de- velopment. The new VVestport High School is fitted for industrial training with the best of equip- ment. ln the wood-turning room are twenty-eight live-foot motor head lathes of one-half ho-rse-power, each with eight differ- ent speedsg one thirty-six-inch band saw, with a direct connected motor: and a grindstone and emery wheel, also electrically driven. There are twenty-six pattern-maker's benches, with a full set of too-ls for each bench and lathe, a steam-heated glue-pot, and a Fox wood-trimmer. The wires for all the moto-rs are brought to the machines through conduits under the cement floor. The wood-turning course consists of work between centers, face-plate work, chucking, in which cylinders, cones, rosettes, picture frames, trays, gobl-ets, boxes, napkin rings, etc., are made. A course in pattern-making follows, in which common patterns, split-patterns, and core-box work is don-e. The subject of draft, lilleting, shrinkage of iron, and finishing of the casting are em- phasized in this connection. The Planaria. The planaria is one of the flatvvorms, and, as its name implies, is of a fiat leaf-like form, usually less than one inch in length. They are found in the day time in fresh water, usually on the under side of stone's and leaves. In the dull twilight they are the most active, coming out in search of food. Although they are harmless and easily found, few people realize what a wonderful power they have-i. e., the pow-er of regeneration. Regeneration is the power to replace parts of the body lost through injury. Une in- stance is recorded where a planaria was cut into -thirty pieces, and each piece liv-ed to form a co-mplet-e worm. The above figures were taken from an experiment performed in the zoology class. The planaria were cut and placed in separate jars. where the development was carefully watched. The dotted lines in the first row of figures show the direction of the cut. The second row of figures show the wo-rms two days later. The cut sides are drawing to- gether. The third column shows the new material, represented bv dotted lines, Hlling in the spaces and commencing to form the regular shape o-f the worm. The last three columns show the later development. The original shape is now complete, and the :esophagus and ev-e spots have appeared. The last things to be com- pleted are the nervous system and the food tube. Scientists have formed many theories as to the explanations of regeneration.

The excellent start which VVestport got in debating by receiving defeat last year at the hands of both Omaha and Des Moines teams, resulted in a great victory this year. This year VVestport won bo-th debates. The plan of debate is that the affirmative team of each city remains at home and the negative team go-es away. On March Ioth of this year an affirmative Westjbo-rt team de- bated Des Moines at Westpiort, and on the same evening a negative team debated at Omaha. The question Was: Rc's0IfzJed.' That laws should be enacted providing that, in cases of personal injury to a workman arising out of and in the course of empl-oyment, his em- ployer shall be liable for adequate coinpen- sation, and shall not set up contributory neg- ligence or negligence of a fellow-servant as a defense. Saturday, February 6, the preliminary de- bate was held, and the following persons were chosen: affirmative, Boland Crawford, Leon Harkin: and George Meyer, negative, Sidney Altschuler, Arthur Hayuin and Elmo Robinson, alternates, Clifford Hollebaugh and Benjamin McBride. On the morning of the day of the debate, Professor Underwood called the pupils to assembly, and the visiting and home teams were presented to the school. Des Monvrs .vr Wiisrroiar. The small but appreciative audience which attended the debate here was entertained, be- fore the argument began, by a piano solo from Jerome Twichell. and was assured by a few songs from the Rooters, Club that we would Fight, fight, fight with all our might For old 'Westport High V' Boland Crawford, opening the debate, outlined the plan that his colleagues would follow in presenting their arguments: first, for the abolition of the two defenses, second, for placing on the individual employer the responsibility for compensation. He main- tained that the present system is unsatisfac- tory, unjust to labor, and corrupting to society. Arthur Kirk, in presenting his arguments, granted the abolition of the two defenses, and centered the negative debate on the question of making the individual employer respo-nsible. Although many points of Leon Harkins' speech had been granted by the negative, he presented his arguments, maintaining by analysis that our industrial' development had rendered both these common law defenses unjust. Following him came Miss Luella Clark. She emphasized the disadvantages which this law would cause to the small manufacturer. George Meyer held that the employer could prevent bankruptcy by adding the cost of compensation to his selling price, compell- ing the community at large to indirectly pay the cost of compensating injured workmen. He further showed, with the aid of a large placard on which statistics were printed, that the large sums now expended by the manu- facturer reach, not the injured workman, but the lawyers or employers' liability insurance companies. who defend the damage suiits. The expense incurred by the employer does not compensate the employee. Frank Thone, the last sneaker of the neg- ative, advanced, as a substitute for responsi- bility of the individual employer, compulsory insurance. as a plan that has been tried suc- cessfully in Germany. Miss Luella Clark made the negative re- buttal speech. Boland Crawford then closed the debate with a summarv of what had been proved by the aftirmative. and gave the rebuttal speech for that side. The decisio-n rendered by the judges was two to one in favor of Westport. VVESTPORT AT OMAHA. The first day following the arriv'al of the debaters in Omaha was spent in pleasure, and the time for the battle was soon at hand. Hayum, Altschuler. and Robinson, the chosen team from Vlfestport, were about to match their strength against McConnell, Larmon, and Carlson, of the Omaha High School. The former team had the negative, and the latter the affirmative of the question of em- plovers' liabilitv. It was Hayum's plan to show that the proposed law was in theory against the em- plc sei shi en nic ter ne' ing tui ha cfoi cas sy- 'CO'l an tui the thi for eas fire ne: the bo-j car pla of of thi cor Sei sor volt ant VOIJE 'riej gai ris, goi VV211 - , ,I-ml I ' ' -4 . . - -- - -V v ..

Robinson was to sustain Hayum's argu- ment and point out that the employer in at- tempting to protect himself would cast the new -encumbrance from his shoulders by rais- ing prices or lowering wages. It was designed that Altschuler in his turn should present a new system that he had fo-rinulated, and, using it as a basis of comparison, should point out that in everv case where the existing and the proposed systems were at fault, his scheme would correct those faults. McConnell, Hayum, Robinson, Larmon, and Altschuler all spoke forcefully in their turn. Then came the speeches in rebuttal, the speech for Westport being made by Ar- thur Hayum. One of the judges then came forward, and the contestants tried to look at ease as he prepared to give the decision. The first judge had voted for the negative. Still- ness reigned. The s-econd had also voted for the negative and the third likewise. Our boys were indeed joyful. The l-ong-planned campaign was successful. Counting all the debates that have taken place so far, Westpioit has received the votes of more judges than has any other school of the triangle. English Readings. One of the new features of interest added this year to the English work was the class contests. In each term of work except the Senior the t-eacher selected and read in class some of the best essays. Thezn the class voted on the essay that they considered best, and the one getting the highest number of votes was read in the contest. May 3, the fourth English classes were 'represented by the following pupils: Mar- garet Coad, Leland Hazzard, Ada May Mor- ris, Hazel Sharrard, Hildegarde Walls, Mont- gomery Wriglit, Edward Moses. The work of the second English claSSCS was presented May IO by Elizabeth Constack, Bessie Conner, Florence Cook, Eleanor Hal- ley, Sara Hocker, Mildred jones, Harold Lehman, john Roberts, Dorothy Taylor, Vir- ginia Berand. The papers selected from second Rhetoric classes were read by the following juniors: Margaret Coburn, Velma Hale, Virginia Simpson, Alice Taylor, and Erma Wialtner. . The junior chivalry which elected only girls almost laps-ed in one class where the vote resulted in a tie between jessie Aber- crombie and Granville Serrette. May 24th the programme was all given by boys. Andrew Bennett and Norton Thay- er represented the third English and jack Malcolmsion and Stuart Updegraff the fifth English classes. Campus Clippings. Mabel Eggleston, 'o5, was one of the first members of the Class of 1909 elected to the honorary fraternity, CDBK , at Kansas State University. Lucas Campbell, 'o6, won the prize in oratory at VVarrensburg Normal. Anna K. Sash, FOI, has returned to her old haunts, and is now teaching Latin here. Herbert Underwood, 'o3, now at the United States Naval Academy, Annapolis, Md., is making a fine record for himself at that institution. ' A number of boys from VVestport High School are in attendance at Harvard Univer- sity, two of whom give ian especially good account of themselves for the current year: David B. Childs, '05, and George A.'Under- wood, 'org each being awarded a S300 cash scholarship for the coming year. The talents which Leslie Ho-hman, ,o8, showed in the Round Table Club soon as- serted themselves at Missouri State Univer- sity. As the result of the successful out-dloor presentation of A Mid-Summer Nightls Dream, which he managed, he has been asked to organize a dramatic club. He has also been appointed assistant laboratory in- structor at the University Summer School, an unusual honor for a Freshman.

Huppert, supervisor of drawing, and Mr. Harry Wood, chief artist on the Kansas City Star, acted as judges in choosing the cover for the Commencement number of THE TTERALD, for which an an- nual prize of S10 in gold is given. Dver thirty designs, in color, by pupils in the Draw- ing and Design Classes, were submitted. Among these were found an unusually large number of 'excellent designs. After careful fconsidieration, .the judges selected the very unique and original cover, by Miss Lyle Weills, which consists of the word HER- ALD', and the monogram HW. H. Sf' woven together into a large, solid, and simple unit, that is striking and effective. The very in- teresting and well-executed designs by the following pupils received honorable mention: Leila Anthony, Clara Brook, Hazel Best, Flora Melton, Celeste Horton, Rodney Irwin, Della York, Gera'dine German, B. Shelton VVilhite, Helen Spotts. - mf ' F if E llfldwokobffzf Freehand Drawing. In Freehand Drawing is in-cluded charcoal, pen and ink, and wash drawing, and water- color painting. We have had excellent mod- els for study this year, and as the pupils have been earnest and the teacher has been patient and very helpful, much. good work has been done. Two charcoal drawings are chosen each year, to be framed and hung in our perma- nent collection of the best work of the pupils in drawing. The highest hono-r for the year 1909 was awarded to Miss May Chace, for the well-proportioned and delicately mo-deled drawing, the size of the original cast, of the fine head of Giiiliaiio de Medici, by Michael Angelo. The second honor was given to Miss Madeline Archer, for her strong and well- understood charcoal thawing of the head of a man, in profile, life size. Honorable mention was award-ed the ex- cellent studies from models and life, in char- coal and pencil, and water color paintings from nature Cflowers, fruit, etc.j, by the fol- lowing pupils: Helen Sea, Francis Maxwell, Christine Spencer, Isabel Hull, Thomas B. Root, Helen Comstock, VVilliam Young.

The Dutch people from ear-iest times have combined, with a noble spirit of independence, a strong inclina- tion to wise self-restraint and happiness in the calm life of domestic comfort and plenty. This character trait of the race goes also as a keynote through the whole literature and poetry of the people and gives to the art of the Netherlands as well its fundamental character. As in their literature Reineke Fuchsf' the great animal epos, is the outcome of their in- delible bent for Nature's pleasures and still- life, so in their art it is the painting of genre which is the result of these traits.

The picture that seems a general favorite among the pupils is the f'Reading from Ho- mer, by Alma -Tadema, the famous Dutch- man, who has called to life amid the London fog Qfor England is his homej the spirit-life of Pompeii and Herculaneum. As Bulwer Lyt- ton, in the field of literature, created a picture of ancient civilization so successfully that it has not been surpassed by his followers, Alma- Tadema has solved the problem of antique manners in the most authentic fashion in the province of painting. He has peopled the past, rebuilt it towns, refurnished its houses, and rekindled the flame upon the sacrificial altar. Alma-Tadema takes us in his company and, like the best-informed guide, leads us through the streets of ancient Egypt, Athens, and Rome. This power Alma-Tadema owes, in the first place, to his great archaeological learning. Standing before this picture, we can im- agine the days when Greece had reached the very pinnacle of greatness and culture g a V 1 l group of the ellie of Athens meet in a recess of one of those magnificent temples overlooking the harbor Zea to listen to a reading from Ho- rner by a laureled elocutionist. The day is fair, the bay is as calm as a mir- ror's face, and the solid blocks of polished marble suggest coolness and repose. VVhat could be more attractive to an appreciative, 34 THE VVESTPORT HIGH SCHOOL HERALD. educated, intelligent audience than just such a treat! Two of the hearers are lovers, all pa- trician, with but one solitary attendant, the reader, a model of inspiration, recites from their great epic poem. Alma -Tadema is renowned for his marble, and in this painting especially his marble Academy, is said to have reached the pinnacle of his fame in this picture, Which was com- pleted in 1888. It is the quintessence of what he aimed at in his art: dignity of style, noble composition, and purity of lines. i The background is the court of an ancient palace, Where female slaves are gathered, fetch- 1 l shines, his bronze gleams, and everything is harmonized with the green of cypresses and delicate rose color of the oleander blossoms. The pictures pertaining to literature are Beatrice and Dante and K' Elaine. Of great interest especially to all the stu- dents of ancient history has been Leighton's The Captive Andromachef' Frederick Leighton, President of the Royal ing Water. In the center of the stage, as the leading figure, stands Andromache, who has placed her pitcher on the ground before her, and Waits with dignity until the slaves have finished their Work. The business of Water- drawing has given Leighton an opportunity for combining an assemblage of beautiful poses. The Widow of Hector expresses a queenly sor- row with decorum. .- . lu-, ,ze ' .. wc, . . , 1 z:az,a:mmw:u4:sx1-lY:'J1'.?:3F51'.:'7f,'t':fi-'r-H'J- .- ,M acle om- 'hat Jble ient tch- s the r l'19.S her, have 'ater- inity lOSCS. 7 SOI'- K THE WEsi'Por:'r I-iron SCHOQL HERALD. 85 Among the collection are three beautiful sea pictures, Fishermen's Returnf' Break- ers, and Caught Out-Gale Coming. Perhaps no single picture of Gainsbor- ough's has been the subject of so great a di- versity of criticism as the so-called Blue Boy,', the portrait of Master jonathan Buttall. The date of the picture has been much dis- cussed, but it seems probable that it was paint- ed in 1779, although some critics place it as early as I77O. From the first Gainsborough had shown a marked predilection for the use of blue in his portraits. jonathan Buttall, the original of the celebrated Blue Boy, is paint- ed clad in a blue satin coat and knee breeches and standing bareheaded in the open air. He holds his plumed beaver hat in his right hand. The background is rich in color, representing a dark landscape with a stormy sky. It has been said that this picture was painted in ref- utation of T Sir Joshua Reynolds, statement: The masses of light in the picture ought to be always of a warm, mellow color, yellow, red, or a yellowish white 5 and the blue, the gray, or green colors should be kept almost entirely out Copyright, 1904, by Photogruphische Gesell.-chaft. of these masses, and be used only to support and set off these warm colors, and for this pur- pose a small proportion of cold colors will be sufficient. The critics agree that the '4Blue Boy is, of all Gainsborough's pictures, that in which genius, labor, and developed skill meet in most balanced harmony. The face is full of life and sweet attractiveness, and is, at the same time, thoroughly modeled. The color is rich and mellow. There are three versions of this picture, but the one belonging to the Duke of Westmin- ster is held by the most competent critics to be the original Blue Boy. Space must be left to mention the four bas-reliefs-perhaps the only copies in this city -of originals found in the Singing Gallery of Florence, Italy, the work of Luca della Robbia. The feature which has made these renowned is the life and motion portrayed in them. 1 1 Cuts Reproduced from photogravures by tl e Berlin Photographic Company. New York. Q + I r .

WVestport High School is indeed very proud of its orchestra. Never before has the orchestra made such a great success of its work as it has this winter. It is needless to say that a great deal of its success is due to the wonderful and inspiring training it has received from its leader, Francois Boucher. The orchestra played at the Christmas, Sen- ior, Clionian and Round Table Plays, Fac- ulty's Reception, Declamation Contest and Co-mmencement. VVith much regret did the orchestra lose three of its very best perform- ers, VVilliam Kintz, Vxfalter Metcalf, and Harry Frank. Chorus. The pupils of VVestport, as well as their parents and many visitors, have enjoyed the f- 'X NVQZJ SB' - 7 1 1. I tL maaclihe 221:31 CT - musical treats offered to them at various times during the Winter by the Girls' Carol Club and the Boys' Glee Club, both organ- izations together forming a chorus of fifty voices. Vffestport has had for many years a chorus conducied by Mrs. Hedges, but never before Haas such splendid Work been achieved. Much of the success is due to the fact that there are an unusually large num- ber of fine tenor voices, also a number of good basses. This, together with the great advantage that they are all good readers of music, has made the Work a great success and has enabled them to attempt many am- bitious numbers. Besides having sung in the assembly several times, the chorus sang at the Christmas Play. the State Teachers' As- sociati'n and the Schoolls Recepticn. All the guests were chsrmed with the programme rendered on the evening of the reception, es- peciallv the solo, The Two Grenadiersf' by Reid Hillyard, and the trio, Smile, Sing, Slumber. sung by three Seniors: Agnes Strube. Julia McCoy, Helen Hayden. Both of these members were enthusiastically ap- plauded. The chorus also sang at the Teach- ers, Institute, and at the Methodist Episcopal Church Cwhere Mrs. Hedges is the organ- istj. Several vfrv fine selections will be sung by the chorus at the Commencement exercises. f v 1 .391 . 213 12 i 1 iqqrzf' ...fi i.i23,.z 7' 3 E. 41 1 152 , . , i gr W ,We ffm W , 'ify ii frtt u 1 I-an -4 -: -5-...u ,.,4lq-r-Q W w c7l'GJQYgQpJ WSJ-'VK P-40 ' ffm? 2? ?E52ZQw ff Q Eff SW?

Eighty years or more ago our grandmoth- ers considered that the highest compliment that could be paid them was to say that they were good housekeepers. Their greatest de- light was in fine needle-work and iii being able to- set delicious meals before the many guests which the old-time hospitality brought. Since their time, nowcyer, the art and science of being good housekeepers has sadly declined until, some years ago, it was considered low- ering to work in one's own kitchen, or, in fact, to work with one's own hands at ali. That such a state ol affairs, in a country so highly civilized as ours, was deplo-rab'e, was recognized not many years ago bv a small number cf broad-minded people. These few championed the cause of domestic art and science and brought before the eyes of the ignorant public the need of -educating the girls of the country in the simple duties o-f the home. These pioneers in the elevation of the homelv househo'd tasks caused the in- troduction. first into the high schools, and later into the grammar schools, of the depart- ments known as domestic art and science. The novelty of the introduction of Cook- ing and Sewing into the regular school cur- riculum caused not a little excitement at first, but gradually parents are beginning to real- ize that if they' wish their daughters to have good, rounded educations, they cannot afford to have them miss the advantages offered in the domestic courses. Some argue that such simple things as cooking and sewing can be learned well enough at hotne. They can be learned. but not in nearly so interesting and - 5 beneficial a way as under teachers who have 1'-ad? Special studies of their work, and with all the latest and best equipment and conven- iences wi,h which ta work. The courses in three branches in Westport High School have been carefully studied so as to make of them the best offered in any school. It may be in- teresting to outsiders to know what is being two rooms so beautifully equip- done in the ped for this work in the new school. Both the Cooking and the Sewing Depart- ment have their homcs on the third floor, far above the noise and confusion of the other classes. The Sewing-room is furnished with large mission cutting-tables and comfortable chairs. These tables are provided with drawers, one of which is assigned to each pupil for her own belongings, and which she is expected to keep in good order. Along the entire west side of the room, and directly in front of the six large windows, are ranged ten fine new sew- ing machines, which during class hours are kept busily humming. In front of the stu- dents' tables is a larger and higher one, be- hind which the energetic teachers preside, and on which is usually a display of the best work done in the various classes. just to the side, and opening out of this room, are two small- er, one a store-room for the big hand loom and various other things, and the other the fitting-room, furnirhed not only with revolv- ing fitting table, electric irons, pressing board, ard display cases for the best work Sand for samples of the various materials under studv at the time, but also with a pier-glass which is supposed to bc used only upon fitting occasions.

But besides this, a rather exhaustive study of cotton and fiax has been taken up. The cult- ure of the plants, their manufacture into cloths, the markets for these cloths, and the various kinds, their prices, durability, laun- dering properties, and the removal of stains frotn them, have been among the topics es- pecially noted. Such study was very benefi- cial, and was aided materially by a visit which the classes took to the cotton mill in Kansas City, Kas. There the girls saw for them- selves the cotton develop from the plant into the rough material. Next year it is the hope and intention of this department to enlarge its course, having another room. and taking up Millfinery and Dressmaking. The Doniestic Science Departnent has its hgme sicond door from that of the Domestic Art, and is as well equipped for its work. Around the room, in the form of a quad- rangle, with a passage-way in each end, are arranged the individual desks with their two- burner stoves and sets of necessary utensils. These utensils were bought with the idea that they were to be used for individual servings only, so that each desk, with its two large drawers, a cupboard, and a stool, can contain almost all the dishes and utensils needed in the preparation of ordinary dishes. In the center of the quadrangle are the recitation chairs and the teachers desk. At one side of the rcom is a fine large gas range, while at one erd is a large cabinet for materials and extra dishes. This cabinet also contains the beginning of a small library of books on Household Science. Similar to the Domestic Art roo'n, this one has two side rooms, or SCHooL HERALD, lj 1 small individual ovens, the other for the fine pantriesg one for storing sugar, fiour, and the refrigerator. The equipment for their course was somewhat late in being installed, and so retarded the actual .work to some degree, but the time was well spent in the study of the science of the diliierent foods and the princi- ples of their preparation. The fuels, their prices and qualities, as well as the classifica- tion, principles and chemistry of the various foods, was taken up during this delay, and proved a great benefit in the later work. Dur- ing the second term this lecture and recitation course has gone hand in hand with the prac- tical work and included at the last the lan- . 1 P ning of healthful and appetizing menus and the study of proper diets. The practical work throughout the year has been the preparation of the simple, everyday dishes, together with a few fancier ones, and serving of these in dainty, attractive forms. The entire year has been one of pleasure and benefit to all the pupils. Most of the girls are very enthusi- astic over the course planned for next year, which will include personal marketing, a study of the various cuts of meat, the serving of entire meals in easy and attractive ways, and trips to the neighboring mills, packing- houses and factories. The plan in 'Westport High School has bien to combine the manual training and the academic courses, and it has succeeded very well. Girls who come to this school and fail to enroll in the Sewing and Cooking classes mizs a great deal of pleasure and benefit. Domestic Science: .Margaret N.

The shop is a large, well-lighted ro-om, equipped with- thirty work-benches, an elec- trically operated circular saw, grindstone, and scroll-saw, two zinc-covered benches for staining and glueing, a steam glue-heater and a bench equipped with an iron-worker's vise to be used for repairing tools. Th-e work-benches and tools are of the latest and best patterns. In each bench are one large drawer for bench tools and six smaller drawers for indi- vidual tools. Three classes of tools are used: individual tools, or those used only by the pupil to whom they are assignedg bench tools, or those used by all the pupils who work at the bench where the tools are placed, and the general to-ols, which are kept in the tool-room or at the instructor's bench and issued to the boys by the check system. The individual tools consist of chisels, plane bits, gimlet bits, agouge and three brass checks to be exchanged for general tools when needed. Besides these, which are furnished by the school board, each pupil is required to buy and keep in his individual drawer an apron, a carpenter's rule, a pocket- knife, a lead pencil, and a ho-lder for mechan- ical drawings. The cost of these articles need not exceed eighty-live cents. Saws, planes, squares, and many other smaller tools are included in a set of bench tools. A large assortment of various ine wood- working tools is known as the general as- sortment. The office is furnished with chairs, a case for the display of models, and a desk for the instructor. In the tool-room, racks and shelves ar- ranged alo-ng the walls hold the general as- sortment of tools. In the stock-room are shelves for unfin- ished articles and lumber which has been pre- pared for the pupilis use. The lumber-room is large and is used for the storage of lumber as it comes from the lumber yards. The wash-room is equipped with ten por- celain lavatories, a large mirror, and forty- four lockers.

The first part of the year is spent in mak- ing a series of the joints most co-mmonly used. Later in the year each boy is allowed to choose some article which he desires to make, and, after making a working drawing of the article in the mechanical drawing- room, he is given an opportunity to make it. Among the articles made by the boys this year are taborets, tables, book and maga- zire racks, and many other useful pieces of furniture. Lewis Rex Miller.

Basket-ball among the girls of Westport has been in full swing now for about two months, during which time ther-e' have been some v'ery interesting inter-class games. But the game that really awakened our utmost interest and caus-ed the greatest ex- citement was that which decided the cham- pionship. This game took place in the Gym April 29th. The Sophomo-res played against the Seniors, making a score of 21-11. Our interest centered nrore, however, on the junior-Freshman gam.e. These tw-o t-eeams were very evenly matched and played a very fast game. In the second half it was only a matter of time which should win. First, juni-ors were one point in advance, then Freshmen. But timie seemed to be in favor of the Freshmen, who won by a score of 16-1 5. Marjorie Dickson, 712, did so-me very bril- liant playing, and was well supported by Louise Connell and Mae Thompson. Hor- tlense Hert and Erma Waltiier Ccaptainj con- tributed largely to the success of the Iuniors. and, had the game been longer, might have overcome the stubborn young Freshmen. The outcome was a surprise to all, but a very pleasurabl-e one for the Freshmen, for this gave them the championship as well as a handsome silver cup. presented by Mr. Schinelzer, of th: Schmelzier Arms Company. 'l his cup will remain in the custody of the school, as the champions of each year will present it to tho-se of the succeeding one. The teams and their captains are: FRESHMEN.

N 96 THE VVESTPQRT HIC On Thursday, May the 20th, invitations were issued by Miss Enyart and the girls o-f her physical training classes for Open Day Exercises? The running track, which wa.s used for seating purposes, was filled, and all standing room was in use. The different ex- errcises consisted of artistic drills and pretty fancy steps. The programme was opened with a grand march, in which all of the girls of the differ- ent classes participated. The next was the fancy steps givlen by the junio-rs and Seniors. Those dances giv- en were the darkey schottische, a graceful step, and the unique, a stately dance in some parts, and light and airy in others. The girls then marched out in open order and gave the mazurka, a pretty, dainty step. The free-hand drill, given by the Fresh- men and S-ophomores, was the next feature of the programme. The girls certainly show- ed their training and ability in this, for the lines were kept so straight and arms and feet moved in such perfect unison that one could hardly believe that there were more than one hundred and forty girls on the floor. This was succ-eeded by the beautiful wand- drill, presented by the Juniors and Seniors. The intricate exercises of this drill were gone through with, to the music of lust hflv Style, from the Fantana selection, the girls singing the chorus. This is a beautiful drill, and the girls executed it well. The last thing was some games played by the Freshmen. They marched out in open order, and formed into four long lines. Pass- ball was played first, and then came the relay races. The participants were hardlv more-+ excited than the sdectators as to the outcome. H SCHOOL HERALD. The sixth hour class had the pleasure of winning twice, while the fourth hour class came out ahead once. Those persons who witnessed the exer- cises claimed they had spent a very pleasant and interesting afternoon, and expressed themselves as desirous of attending another such entertainment next year. ?-..-.l.i- Basket-B all Team. A start has been made in basket-ball, and the quality of the playing for the season was such that, if it had been the culmination of our basket-ball successes instead of the beginning, we could hardly hold it with less favor and pride. Credit is due the boys who worked and made the team, and Coach Root, who devel- oped this material. All of the boys, with the exception of Grover Carl, will be with us next year, and most of them have other years yet to play. Carl will be missed in the other branches of athletics as greatly as in basket-ball. The work of the team this year merely foreshadows what is to follow in the succeed- ing years of our glory as a school. Out of a schedule of fourteen games, only seven were played, six of which we won. The team as a whole played a good, steady game all year, and individually the work was excellent. Cap- tain Downs played a high-class, fast game all season, was in every game for all he was worth from start to finish. He was very accurate in making baskets, as he hnished with an average of five field-goals to the game.

Carl, at center, had little trouble in out- jumping his opponents, thus aiding greatly in putting the ball in play advantageous to his team. He improved, as the season progressed, in shooting goals, making twelve in the last two games. Ragan, at guard, played a good defensive game. Although he made but five fouls in the five games he played, he held his men to an average of two goals per game. Dig- gle, at guard, was awake and after his man all the time, holding them to an average of 25 goals. He held two of his men to no goals, but let a K. U. Freshman spoil his average by getting eight. McConnell, the erratic player of the team, played a fast snappy game at guard, when he played. He made a good rec- ord in throwing goals, getting seven in three games. On the defensive he held his men to an average of 25 goals. The line-up for the season follows: L. Downs CCaptainj ............. Right Field B. Sweeney. . . .................. Left Field G. Carl ....... ...... C enter G. Ragan ..... .... G uard H. Diggle ,.... ..................... G uard C. McConnell ........................ Guard Substitutes: E. Fife and E. Robinson. The first two games, with K. C., K., and Liberty, were easy victories for us, as the scores 39 to I3 and 37 to 23 would indicate. At Lawrence, at the hands of the K. U. Freshmen, we suffered our only defeat. The team work and accuracy of the team was lack- ing and, although the boys played hard, they were defeated. Carl played a good game for us, while Watson and Larson did good work for the Freshmen. A well-trained team on their own court beat us, and our revenge later was a better-trained team on a better court. VICTORY OVER THE NORTHERN CHAMPs. 'A February 12th, the St. joseph High School, claiming the championship of that part of the State, was defeated by Westport, before a crowd of twelve hundred persons, the score be- ing 33 to 28. The game was fast from start to finish, both teams showing good team work. For Westport, Downs and Sweeney played a fine game at forward, Carl was there with the jump all the time, while Ragan and Diggle held their men to four goals. For St. Ice, McGinnis and Dolan did the best work. Tlie advantage in the score changed with almost every play. The game kept up this way until near the end of the second half the score stood tied, when Sweeney dramatically threw a goal from the center of the court. After this there was no stopping the boys of the Gold and Blue. The Score. WESTPORT, 33. G. F. T. F. L. Downs ...... .... 4 O 4 B. Sweeney .... . . 4 II 2 G. Carl ....... . . 3 O 6 G.

All the Westport boys were out for revenge. Carl got his with six fine baskets, and Downs and Sweeney gathered three baskets each. Ragan and1McConnell came in for their share by hold- ing their men to a few baskets. Watson and Van der Vries fought the hardest for K. U. The team work of the two teams was almost perfect. The score was so close and the teams so evenly matched that at no time was interest lost for a moment. The Track Team. While we did not capture great honors in track work this year, still we are grateful for our coach, our gym, and an abundance of good material, which will take only time and good coaching to develop. Captain Carl will be sorely missed next year. He has been our mainstay this season in track work, scoring in all 38 points. Neal, with 1 55, and Robinson, with 1 5, were the next best performers for us, and it will be a pretty race next year to see which one will fill Carl's place. The rest of the boys on the track team did good work for us and will all be back next year, with the exception of Hull and Ham. Here 's hoping for and prophesying a great year in track ath etics for us next year. . THE K. C. A. C. INDOOR MEET. A track team was entered in the Annual K. C. A. C. Handicap Indoor Meet, Friday, April 2d, consisting of Ragan, Owens, Stock- ton, Robinson in the 5o-yard dash, handicap and interscholastic, Carl, Guillet in the 5o-yard low hurdles, Neal, Sunderland in the pole- vault, Carl, Sunderland, Robinson in the high jump, Owens, Neal in the 440-yard dash , Hull, Hodges in the 5-mile, Ham, Beebee, Wyngert in the 2-mile. Out of the thirteen who entered, six suc- ceeded in winning places-certainly a good rec- ord for a high school participating against uni- versities and athletic clubs. Those who won places follow: Ragan Won second in the inter- scholastic invitation 5o-yard, all runners start- ing from scratch, Neal Chandicap, I3 nchesl won second in the pole vault with II reel 3 inches, Sunderland C15 inchesp got third with II feet I inch, Carl f4l1'1Cl1CSj captured second in the high jump with 5 feet II inches, and Robinson C5 inchesb got third with 5 feet IO inches, Hull C40 yardsj won second in the 5-mile. Besides bringing I4 points to West- port and silver and bronze medals to the boys Who placed, it gave an idea of what the boys are capable of doing and whom to pick for the track meets outdoors this spring. THE FIRST INDOOR MEET. In the annual dual track meet between Missouri and Kansas, on the 26th of March, we were invited to participate against the K. C., K., High School in a 5o-yard dash and a mile relay, both of which were won easily by Westport. We took both places in the 5o-yard dash, Ragan winning first in the remarkable time of 5 3-5 seconds. Owens, after being put back a yard for jumping the gun, ran a good race and finished a close second. In the relay the boys won by half a lap and were never pushed. Owens started for us and beat his man by almost a quarter of a lap, Hodges, running next, made up in quality what he lacked in quantity, and finished leading his man by a larger distance than when he started, F'ne tnec took up the running and, while tak- ing it easy, increased the lead, Neil, Without exerting himself, trotted across the line a win- ner, by half a lap. The time for the mile, 3:52 4-5, was con- siderably slower than the other mile relays, but our boys were not forced to their limit, having a comfortable lead all the way. Smith, Reed, Root, and Phillips ran for K. C., K. THE SECOND ANNUAL DUAL MEET. Westport was much in evidence in the meet, while K. C., K., could only be seen in spots, the final score being Westport, 86, K. C., K., 13. We won all the places except one first, one second, and four thirds. Rain prevented the running off of three events-the low hur- dles, discus and relay-and was the only thing that could stop our boys from piling up the score. Grover Carl, this year's captain, was the star performer of the meet, winning I9 points first in the high hurdles, pole vault and broad VM. , 3.

He broke one State record, the broad jump, with a jump of 21 feet 7 inches, and the dual and school records in the pole vault and the broad jump, and tied the high jump record, 5 feet 6 inches. Owens finished second in points, winning I3 , first in the 100-yard and 220-yard and second in the 440-yard. His time for these distances is creditable, considering the bad wind that had to be run against. Robinson got third in points with 1 1, a tie for first in the high jump, second in the high hurdles and broad jump, and third in the shot-put. He broke the dual and school record in the broad jump with IQ feet IO inches and tied the school rec- ord of 5 feet 6 inches in the high jump. Neill, with 8 points first in the 440-yard and second in the pole vault, came next, and broke the dual and school records in these two events. Fife, with a first in the shot-put, 39 feet 4 inches, the dual and school record, and third in the hammer, tied with Ragan for points, the latter winning second in the 100-yard and 220-yard. Hull won the 5-mile, Ham the mile, -Spencer third in the broad jump, breaking the school record, also, and the 440-yard. Small got second in the shot, Peckenpaugh second in the hammer, Bollman third in the 100-yard, Westfall third in the high jump, and Wengert third in the mile. The above compose the track team of the 'school and are expected to show their mettle in the three following track meets. S0 far the record of the team is fine, considering this the first year in real athletics. The meet was run off as smoothly and easily by Coach Root, the clerk of thecourse, as the events were run 'off with by his well-trained under-studies, the athletes under his care.

For the first time, Westport entered a full team in the State Interscholastic Meet, May Ist Cin the past we have only sent relay teams and three or four entriesj, and, while we did not capture as many points as we desired and thought we were able to take, still we are sat- isfied, the I5 points this year being a great improvement over the 4 of last year. The team consisted of Bollman, Carl, Fife, Ham, Hull, Neill, Ragan, Robinson, Small, Spencer, and Sunderland. Of the I5 points, Carl scored 6: a second in the high hurdles, a tie for second in the high jump, and a third in the broad jump. He was not up to his regular standard, as his form was not equal to what he has done in former meets this year. Ham, after a pretty race, won secondin the mile, Neill tied Hamilton, of Manual, for second in the pole vault, Robinson tied Carl for second in the high jump, this being the second time this year that these two have tied in the high . ,mv , gm-4.-.,....-.,,-,..:..,. ienmm 1- -. 102 THE NVESTPORT HIGH ScHofJL HERALD. jump. Fife got third in the low hurdles, and our relay team, Sunderland, Ragan, Bollman, and Owen, beat Manual out for third place, Central finishing first and Wentworth second. Manual won the meet with 46 points, Central second, 41 points, Wentworth third, 18, West- port fourth, 15, St. joe, fifth. THE M. V. I. A. A. MEET. The regular track team participated in the Missouri Valley Interscholastic Athletic Asso- ciation Track Meet at Elm Ridge, May 8th, and out of this very classy meet we were able only to win 8 points. Carl again leads, with 4 points, a second in the high hurdles and a tie for third in the pole vault. In the pole vault he sustained a bad sprain of the left arm, which put him out of the running for the rest of the day. Here we lost a few points, for Carl had a good chance to place in several following events. Fife won third in the low hurdles, 2 points, and Neill and Robinson each got one point, the former tying for third in the pole vault and the latter for third in the high jump. THE K. U. FRESHMAN INVITATION MEET. In the last. meet of the season, held at Lawrence, May 22d, we were only able to score 8-5 points. Six of these were earned by Carl: a second in the high jump, 5 feet 65 inches, a third in the broad jump, and a fourth in the high hurdles. Neill tied for third in the pole vault, getting 15 points, and Bollman captured fourth in the 22o-yard dash, I point. The high jump brought about a peculiar compilation of affairs. In this meet last year Carl got second, French, of Pittsburg, outjump- ing him by one inch. The distance 5 feet 6 inches was a new school record, breaking the previous record, held jointly by Carl and Rob- inson. This year was an exact reproduction. French won by one inch: Carl broke the school record, previously held by Carl and Robinson, at 5 feet 6 inches. DEFEATED BY K. C., K. In the first league game of the season, April 3, we were defeated by K. C., K., in a lively game, 5 to 2. Doubles by Foertsch, Lyle, and Sweeney scored Foertsch and Lyle, in the fifth inning, for our only scores. Two bases on balls, followed by hits, gave K. C., K., three in the fourth, and three hits and an error gave them two more in the eighth. Marsh held Westport to five hits, while K. C., K., touched Schultz for ten. The Score. R. H. E.

Park, April 14th, the boys, showing up in better form than they did at any other time this season, defeated Manual in a good fast game, 4 to 3. In the fifth, Sweeney's hit and an error by Manual gave us one run. Burton's hit in the sixth, follow- ing three Crimson errors, added three more runs and gave us the game. Manual scored two in the third, by a base on balls and hits by Miller and Goldburg, and one in the ninth, by a base on balls, an error, and a hit. The Score. R. H. E. Westport ....

Leavenworth was our next victim, April 17th, and went down to defeat, 4 to 3. Hits by Sherry and Gottlieb and Leavenworth's er- ror gave us one in the fourth. Again, in the fifth, errors and Schultz's hit scored Carl and Schultz. A base on balls, an error, and Lyle's hit scored our final run in the sixth. Leaven- worth scored one in the first by an error and Kirmeyer's double, and two in the eighth by an error and doubles by Radford and Kir- meyer. Leavenworth got one more hit than we did, but lost out on errors. The Score. R. H. E. Westport....ooo121ooo 4 5 3 Leavenw'th..1 o o o o o o 2 o 3 6 6 A TRAGEDY OF ERRORS. April 2oth, the memorable day when West- port and Central fought to determine which would go to Columbia to play for the cham- pionship of the State. We had a good chance to go, starting out in the first inning by making three runs, a base on balls, singles by Gott- libe and Donaldson, and Foertsch's beautiful double doing the work. But the boys acted as if they didn't want to go, and threw the ball everywhere but to the man they shou'd.

The boys kept right on making errors, but by some pretty pitching Schultz pulled himself and his team-mates out of some bad holes and kept Central from scoring again. Eleven er- rors! just think of it! What 's the matter, boys? Were you afraid of the ball, or did you do it so Central could go to Columbia? The Score. R. H.

We had this game practically won until the ninth inning, when K. C., K., made four runs, making the score 6 to 4. Carl scored in the first, by a base on balls, followed by two errors. Foertsch got on first, by way of an error, in the fourth, and scored on Sweeney's hit. In the eighth, Donaldson singled and scored on Schultz's double. Lyle then brought Schultz home with a single. ' K. C., K., scored one in the sixth by a base on balls and McMillan's hit, and one in the seventh by a hit and an error. Still the game seemed ours, but in the ninth a single, a double, an error, and McMillan's second hit, a pretty one for three bases, won the game for K. C., K. We outplayed them and outbatted them, but- they won. The Score. R. H. E. Westport....IooIooo2o 4 II 6 K.C.,K.,...oooOoIIo4 6 7 4 Batteries: Schultz and Donaldson, Gilmer and Marsh. lVlANUAL,S REVENGE. Manual defeated us 6 to I, in a game full of errors, principally on our part. Our only run was earned. Until the seventh Miller had held us without a hit, but Foertsch-demon hitter-knocked a double, then Lyle hit the ball to a safe spot and Foertsch scored. Four hits and three errors in the first gave Manual four runs, and some more hits and er- rors in the sixth gave them two more. Our boys tried hard to break their record of eleven errors, but could only equal it. The Score. R. H. E. Westport....ooooooIoo I 5 II Manual. ..... 4000O2OOX 6 7 5 Batteries: Schultz, Lucksinger, and Don- aldson, Miller and Carroll. DEFEATED BY THE HCHAMPS. Central and Westport again crossed bats and a fine fast game resulted. The outcome was uncertain until the last man was out in the ninth. The score, 3 to 2, WQS Certainly a close one. A base on balls, an error, and Gott- lieb's double gave us one in the hrst, and a base on balls and Schultz's hit scored our last run, in the seventh. All of Central's runs came in the fourth, a base on balls, Welsh's double, and two errors three hits, but although they scoring the runs. Each got ral's were bunched, and made more errors, these were, fortunately for Central, scattered. The Score. R. H. E. Westport....oo.ooo1Ioo 2 3 2 Central ...... ooo3oooox 3 3 4 Base-B all. Judging from games won, our base-ball season was hardly a success, but we devel- oped a wealth of new material that, under the able coaching of Mr. Shaw, should prove a winner next season. VVe believe in strict eligibility rules cover- ing attendance and scholarship, but this year we had to pay the price. In game after game good material, sorely needed, was barred from competition. Gut of the eight l-eague games, we lost five, won two in play and one by default. Throughout the season, Russell Donald- son, Carl, Gottlieb, and Fred Foertsch did the best work in the field and at bat. William Schultz and Lucksinger pitched well, consid- ering their experience, and should develop in- to splendid players. Catcher-R. Donaldson QCaptainD. Pitchers-P. NV. Schultz, C. Lucksinger.

Donovan Malcomson, During the past semester The Debaters rightly feel that their officers have done work consistent with the standing of the club. Mr. Harkins, as President, has graced the chair with admirable dignity, in which position he was, when occasion demanded, ably replaced by the Vice-President, Mr. Irons. Mr. Hay- um, as Secretary, has done faultless work in this department, while Mr. Meyer has kept the treasury in a truly wonderful condition. Mr. Burton, as Sergeant-at-Arms, has, we are happy to say, been able to preserve order by his commanding presence alone. P-erhaps the most unfortunate incident of the semester was the defeat of our peerless representatives by the Pundit Club. But de- feat is often good for those who have known nothing but victory, and we heartily congrat- ulate our opponents. Perhaps the question debated, VV'oman Suffragef' explains our humiliation. In the course of programmes presented, we have enjoyed, in addition to our regular discussions, exceptionally good piano solos by Mr. Coburn and Mr. Twichell. The Debaters have been well represented in all school and class affairs, and a state- ment of the long list of honors held by mem- bers would be practically impossible.

In the Interstate Triangular Debate five out of the six who made the teams were De- baters, who, true to their name, not only made the teams, but won the debates. On the af- firmative were Boland Crawford, Leon Har- kins and George Meyer, while Arthur Hay- um and Elmo Robinson were on the nega- tive. This victory was a great honor for the school, and we cannot help feeling proud that five out of the six were Debaters. The programmes of The Debaters' regular meetings have been exceedingly good, and all debates have been first class. The Debaters entertained the Qsiron So- ciety Friday evening, May 2oth. This event was looked forward to by every Debater, and everyone felt amply repaid by the large attendance and appreciation shown by our guests. The programme of the evening was made up wholly from the Debater members! 'EUC jokes, songs by the quartet, solos, and all features being received with an applause that made the auditorium echo and re-echo. After the programme, the guests w-ere escorted to the lunch-room, where refresh- ments were served. Mr. Leon Harkins, Pres- ident of the Debaters, acting as toast-master, greeted and welcomed the Osirons. We were then very delightfully honored by toasts from the Qsiron officers. Mr. Harkins then called for a round of toasts from the Debaters, af- ter which we drank a toast to the happiness and success of the Osirons. The Farewell to our guests was a song, Good-night, La- dies, sung by the Debaters' chorus. Owing to the amount of business carried on by the club this year, our Adviser, Mr. Humphrey, has advised us to do away with our annual banquet. This has met with the approval of the club, but they hope to have one next year. Again the club wishes to extend to our excellent Adviser, Mr. Humphrey, the most heartfelt thanks for his generous guidance and advice since he has been with us. ... - .J ,'A- - Y FA.-,...,,,f,. iq . ..,.., ,. - -- 1 -----L--- e r- W.- A ..-. .

A good part of the time this year has been spent in debates over the Constitution and By-laws, and this in itself was a valuable lesson, as it taught the members debating and parliamentary law. But we have also debated with success the questions of Negro suffrage, Government ownership of railroads, municipal ownership in Kansas Citv, the Union Depot, universal prohibitio-n, and other problems of the day. The club is indebted for all the success it has attained this year to Mr. Hull, who has given us much valuable instruction. A motto for the club has not yet been pro- cured from the speeches of Henry Clay, and, as this is our desire, the Clay Club has as yet no motto. The club has been wise in the selection of its officers, who have devoted much time to its work. As we admitted before, we cannot pass on the qualities of Mr. Rodgers, unless it be by saying that his maiestic presence awed the members into silence. Great success has attended the selection of our members, so-me of the best undergrad- uates in the school being now enrolled among our ranks. The majority of the clubis mem- bers have been drawn from the lower classes of the school, so the work of next year will be carried on by the same people as that of this year. The club is well represented on THE HER- ALD Staff, and with officers on the various other clubs, but it is proud that as a debating so-ciety it was represented both in the Tri- Sitate debate and in the Declamation contest. As this is its iirst year in the school, the Clay Club deemed it necessary to gain inter- nal strength before striving to wrest the de- bating championship of the school from The Debaters, who are still in possession of this title, owing to the fact that the Pundit Club is not a chartered society. Fo-r this reason The Debaters have received no challenge from us for a debating combat, though they have for a game of base-ball. But we hop-e to enter the arena early next season and to wrest the debating honors from their present claimants What Happened to Jones.

James Field HELMA.Geo1'gle Southwell u The night of May 7th the Round Table and Cli- cnian Societies joined in giving a very delightful and amusing' farce, Wl1at Happened to Jones. The play was exceptionally Well worked out for an ama-- teur production, and all the characters made the most of their roles. Jones, Philip B a rn e s, was excellent, and the Way in which he combined his bishopls clothes and foizesl character was exceeding- ly funny, Edith Hawes played Cissy with all the 7ZlCl'l'ZlC'ld and abandon which is the American college girl's privilege. S i dn e y Altschuler played the part of the Habusedl' Professor very well indeed. Miss Fuqua, with her false curls, was enough to frighten poor Jones, and james Field was a most pious Blslioyb and a most comical Indian. Space does not permit mention of all the other members of the cast, but it is sufficient to say that every o n e dfd extremely Well.

'The club has given two plays, been enter- tained once, and has given a picnic-all in the short space of three months. The way in which the members have worked and the abil- ity they have displayed in the various pro- grammes show that the club has chosen its members wisely. At the Hrst meeting after the election of -officers we were entertained by Mr. Humph- rey. To those who have heard him, no com- 'ment is necessary. We one and all wish to 'thank Mr. Humphrey most heartily for his 'inimitable rendering of Mr. Pickwick and -dramatic reading of Hamlet It has been a tim-e-honored custom in the -club to entertain the Clioniansg this year we gave the following programme: Piano Solo. . . . . . . . . .Jerome Twichell, jr.

Comedy, A Box of Monkeysf' That Box of Monkeysvl No one but iMiss Spencer and the cast knows what they 'underwent before the play co-uld be given be- fore the Clionians. They nehearsed in Room 77, in Room 83, in the corridors, and iinally in the Auditorium. But the Clionians said the play was a success, and the cast felt re- paid for all the work they had put into it. The cast included Helen Hayden, Marguerite Guy, Florence Fuqua, Clifford Hollebaugh, and Kenneth Irons. All the members of the cast did excellently. The Clionians in turn entertained us most enjoyably by an exhibition of their best tal- ent, and all the visitors expressed their hearty appreciation of the whole programme. The programme committee meant to make debates a feature of this term's work, but the term was so short that we had time for only one. The question was: Resolved, That final examinations should be abolished from Westpolrt High School. George Meyer and Arthur Hayum too-k the affirmative, and Don- ald Black and Paul Childs the negative. The speakers for the affirmative made a great plea for the health of both teacher and pupil and completely won the audience. The whole club acted as judges, and the affirmative won al- most unanimously. There has always been some rivalry be- tween the Round Table and Clionian socie- ties. Before this year neither club appreci- ated the other: but this year a better feeling I A , ,- V- -- - If 'w-mumm - -L -s ...ht . ,.,.,..: 1' 5?

To show that they are friends, and, incidentally, to make one play take the place of two, the societies gave together the comedy What Happened to jones in the school auditorium the night of May 7. The house was almost full, and the audience was an appreciative one. The clubs are much in- debted to May Chace and john Roberts for the interesting and artistic posters which helped greatly to insure a good audience by arousing the schoolis curiosity. The final programme of the year was rather unusual. It was an evening picnic and hayride at the farm of Florence Fuqua, one of our members. This departure from the custom was a success, however, and every one seemed to enjoy the outing extremely. . . ., , --- M .-.5-.1s-Ssx:1:a:lllnamny-y,,--9...-L..-L.2:i:.:.Z-- E.---. .. .

The Clionians were very fortunate, as us- ual, this year, in securing an excellent Pres- ident. Vlfhen Sidney Altschuler was elected President for the Hrst term, we little dreamed that, contrary to custom, we would re-elect him, but he filled the ofhce so well and so beneficially to the society that we could not think of allowing another to take his place for the se-cond term. We Clionians are proud of our large rep- resentation in the graduating class of this ye-ar. lille will miss them next year, although we shall feel that their good wishes are with us. Among those who wil be most missed is Mr. James Field, who has organized and directed an excellent orcheitra for us this year. The Clionians wish to thank the Round Table Club for the delightful afterno-on they affordid us. Vile appreciated their neighborly kindness in wishing us to enjoy a programme composed of their excellent talent.

Our membership has increased this year from twenty-seven to thirty-one, and we have cause to be deeply thankful for so many valuable new members, who have taken up the work with so much interest and enthusi- asm. The society has been studying Egypt this year, and the regular meetings in Room So have been both pleasant and instructive. Beginning with the earliest legends concern- ing Egypt. the programmes have carried us on up through the history of the country and touched upon Egyptian literature. All the papers of the year have been good, and the society feels that it has learned much of the country of Osiris, its patron god.

The Qsirons wish to thank The Debaters for their delightful entertainment given on the evening of Friday, May 2ISt. A great hole will be found in the Osirons' ranks when the roll is called next fall, and Gertrude Schaufller, Irene Curtis, Florence Fuqua, Elizabeth jewett, Dorothy Jones 1611- nie Whitney, Lucy Norton, and TCSSIC UNCH fail to respond.

The annual dance of the Osiron Society was given at the Lyndhurst on the evening of Friday, February 16th. The guests were confined to the Osirons' escorts and chaper- ons. The dance was a success and the even- ing a very pleasant one. Several -outside meetings have added greatly to the pleasure of the year's work. The first was at the home of Irene Curtis on November 2oth. On January 22Cl the sec- ond delightful social meeting was held at the home of Gertrude Schaufller. The programme c-ommittee had prepared an unusually enter- taining programme for the occasion, and ev- eryone enjoyed the social hour which fol- low-ed. Un April 23d the last outside meet- ing of the year was held at the home of Al- ma Hagenbuch. The programme committee distinguished themselves in their selection for the day: an Egyptian story by Isabel Hull being particularly enjoyable.

The Pundit Club, a debating society for girls, was organized last Decemb-er. The school had never thought it necessary to have such a club before, but a few girls became interest-ed, and when a person o-f influence, a member of the Faculty, also took an interest, the club was started. It was with some misgiving that permis- sion was given for the trial of such a society, but it soon became evident that it was to be a success. The object of the club is, f'To pro- mote in the girls, as well as boys, an intel- ligent and thoroughly interested understand- ing of all matters of current interest. Some very good and interesting debates have been given. Sofne of the subjects were: The japanese School Question. The Problem of Unemploymentf' Public Play-Grounds. 'fPracticability of Pay-as-you-enter Cars. The only debate held with another club was one held April 23d with The Debaters. The subject was 4'VVoman Suffrage. Pundits, affirmative, Debaters, negative. The judges decided unanimously in favor of the Pundits. The number has been kept limited, as is almost necessary in a new club of this kind, but next year we hope to enlarge our mem- bership, and trust that our work has justi- fied the granting of a charter the first of next year.

The programme committee deserves much praise for having provided so many Hne pro- grammes. Two of our most interesting meet- ings were as follows: Gn April 2d, after the programme had been rendered, refreshments, consisting of lemonade, lemon stick candy, and lemon cakes, were serv-ed in honor of our new members. Qn May zo, IQOQ, the club held its Hrst open meeting. A very interesting and in- structive programme was rendered. Much interest was aroused by the elegant poster drawn by George Bollman for that occasion. At one of our meetings, the theme fOi1' that day being George Eliot, Mr. Foster gave us an instructive talk on George El1OtS Romola. J For the posters that from time to tim-e have anno-unced our piogrammes, the club is much indebted to Messrs. Bollman and Root. Throughout the term the members were instructed in parliamentary law by our ad- viser, Mr. Foster, who presented it in a most pleasing manner. All that the club has at- tained this last term is due largely to the tireless energy of Mr. Foster, who has been, during the club's existence, a most faithful guide and helper. Some of the members hold positio-ns in the other affairs of school, Carl Hodges is a track man, and Treasurer of the Clay Club, Edward Moses is Secretary for the So-pho- more Class of IQIIQ Tom Root is a member of THE HERALD Staffg Frederick Schaffer is the President of the Clay Club. Gut aim for next year is that the Irving Club shall be added to the ranks of VVest- port's school clubs. - - ........n.....:.m:'.- In-.qamffi-enum-7-1--f-s..Q.9.:.5.-u'A--- . nm, 1.- .'Hf1'ff5I:1TfL? r .1 I J '1m'cvsuunwsum . ,w,:.,,,,m.., 5, . . . .

The newsiest little high school paper to appear this year is the VVestport High School HERALD, which is just out. The Stal? has discarded most of the usual story and essay contributions and has filled the pages of the paper with items of interest to the school. It tells what the students have done and ought to do. It urges them to enter contests and form new societies. lt gives an intro- duction to the new corps of teachers, and the work they have done prior to their teaching at VVestport. In addition to the news items there are several columns devoted to jokes upon students and teachers.
