The Student Council has been entirely reorganized to conform to the new Willard School Constitution drafted by Irving Short and John Sproul, which has given to us all additional opportunities for participation in school government. The recently organized Willard Senate has been developed this semester and is rapidly becoming one of the most important governing bodies of the school. We, as citizens of Willard, expect to receive much benefit from these changes and are fully aware of the importance of the responsibilities that we are privileged to assume. TJie Student Council now consists of seventeen members and one faculty advisor. Eight of these members are elected by the Student Body at large, three are appointed, and the remaining six are chosen by their respective grades as Half-grade Presidents. The elected members serving on the Council this term were Wayne Hooper, President of the Senate and Vice-President of the school; Richard Dorst, Student Body Secretary; Betty Platt, President of the W. G. A.; John Sproul, President of the W. B. A.; Louis Mertins, Boys’ Athletic Manager; Alma Roth, Girls’ Athletic Manager; and Jack Wolfe, Yell Leader. Irving Short, Chief of Police; Margaret Connick, Commissioner of Special Events; and Martha Crandall, Commissioner of Publicity, were the three appointed members. The six Half-grade Presi- dents were Bill Wright of the High Ninth, Don Waldie of the Low Ninth, Tod Judkins of the High Eighth, Hiroshi Higashi of the Low Eighth, Beverly Ryan of the High Seventh, and Mar) ' Patterson of the Low Seventh. Miss Farwell was our advisor. For the first time in the history of Willard, Student assemblies were planned and executed entirely by the Council. One of the most pleasing of these was the May Queen Rally at which the candidates for May Queen were introduced by means of a clever skit. The Council also conducted the Student Body elections for the ensuing term. These were under the supervision of Miss Chace and the management of the Council. First came the registration of the voters, then the primary and final elections at which practically a one hundred per cent ballot was cast. My term of service as your President has ended. I am proud of my small share con- tributed to the advancement of our school, and I hope the Presidents to follow will be as fortunate as I have been in having the full cooperation of Mr. Hayes, the faculty, and the students. „ „ r. • ; Ernie Schauppner, President. « 6 � TO WILLARD Oh great and noble Willard High, We’ll think of you as years roll by, And, though a dreary day may pass. You in our hearts will always last. This fortress that we build today Will never crumble or decay. To make the finest school out West, Then we must try to do our best. When we are striving for the right. Then we are truly Willardites. Bruce Salomon TO THE CITIZENS OF WILLARD: Some one has said, Cooperation means so working that others may work with you.” Our school organization, with its emphasis on personal responsibility, promotes better citi- zenship as well as a more complete socialization of the individual citizen. These goals of student self-government can only be met as you strive to work so that others may work C. K. Haves, Prmrip., . THE WILLARD SENATE The Senate, the most recent arm of government at Willard and the branch that com- pletes the three-point governmental system of the school, has had a very busy term. Vice- President Wayne Hooper has presided at the Senate and has guided it well. Miss Chace has been the sponsor and through her help and encouragement the Senate has always moved forward even when the going was a little rough. With our new form of Student Council becoming effective the beginning of this term, another chance for the Senate to be felt in school affairs was scored when the head of the Senate was included in the new Council. This tieup was an asset to both bodies. Because of the many changes in our form of student government since the signing of Willard’s first constitution, it became necessary for the school to have a new one. For that purpose President Schauppner early in the term appointed a committee that started at once to draft a new constitution, and in a short time it presented its plan to the Student Council. With a few minor changes the Council approved the constitution as presented by the com- mittee and sent it to the Senate. There it was debated and passed on by the senators to their respective advisories for discussion. It was then referred back to the Senate with the remarks and questions submitted by the different advisories. The remainder of the term was mainly devoted to rewording parts of the document and shaping it for final passage and submission to President Schauppner and Principal Hayes. The Willard Senate may well be proud of its term’s work. Senate: Richard Bartholomew, Wesley Bowen, Winifred Burnham, Nadine Chester- man, David Cole, Irene Cooley, Jean Davies, Nancy Gloor, John Grosh, Nola Hansen, Nancy Haven, Dick Horne, Ray Kruschke, Elizabeth Marshall, George Moller, Eleanor Moore, Marjorie Morrow.

They define every man’s rights, and stand between, and defend the individual liberties of all men.” The great majority of Willard students is of this opinion, and Willard Court aims to impress this fact upon those who appear before it. Some Willardites, however, have not been convinced of the value of the statement, and Willard Court has been kept busy. Chief Clerk Wolfe states that the charges most frequently appearing on the records are discourtesy, speeding, and disobeying signals. Nothing costs less or is more valuable to the individual himself than civility, and traffic laws of school and community are for the safety of all. Keep these facts in mind, fellow students, and lighten the labors of our judges, Mrs. Ivelsky and Mr. Harrison, who have served us so well and faithfully throughout the term. Court Officers: Rafael Ahlgren (Sergt. at Arms), Alvan Altman (Sergt. at Arms), Melvin Bacharach (Clerk), Stanley Behrends (Detention Clerk), Virginia Berg (Sergt. at Arms) , Jane Bickel (Sergt. at Arms) , Richard Dorst (Detention Clerk) , William laconetti (Sergt. at Arms), Cornelia Levis (Sergt. at Arms), Graham Moody (Clerk), John Oshida (Sergt. at Arms), Donald Stewart (Bailiff), Frank White (Bailiff), Jack Wolfe (Chief Clerk) . « 8 � STUDENT COUNCIL WILLARD SENATE WILLARD JUNIOR TRAFFIC POLICE The cooperation of the students with the Junior Traffic Police has meant another perfect safety record for Willard this term. Monday and Friday are drill days for Willard’s traffic force, and they have turned out to be a crack” squad both in drill and service. They have recently taken over the Flag Raising on Monday mornings. For the first time this semester three representatives from each patrol in Berkeley were elected by their fellow officers for official inspection by members of the local and state police departments. The inspection was held in San Francisco. Willard was represented by Sergt. Maj. Richberger, Sergt. Le Quatte, and Sergt. Bowen. At the annual review of the Junior Traffic Police of Berkeley held on Edwards Field, Willard again made an excellent showing. Thanks and praise are due Mr. Christensen, who has spared neither time nor effort as director to prepare Willard’s Junior Traffic Patrol for the efficient service they have rendered the school and community this year. Traffic Squad (A. M.): Elmer Richberger (Major), Andrew Craig, Willis Le Quatte (1st Sergeants) , Pete Annis, Dan Redmond (2nd Sergeants) , Beverly Annis, James Barley, George Bering, Ernest Covington, Duane Deal, Charles Holland, George Moorhead, Walter Senegal (Signalmen), Irving Crabtree, Jack Grange, Ed Smith (Substitutes).

In fact, the complete Control experienced reorganization, and we feel that the change resulted in im- measurable success. Since the Student Control governs the students, it seemed right that it should represent the students so the officers for the first time were elected by the Student Body. Chief Irving Short, aided by Captains Arthur Starke and Bob Woods, did a splendid piece of work this term. Captain Bob Woods commanded the lower corridor, the cottages, and supervised the Gymnasium Squad. He proved himself most capable and dependable. Captain Arthur Starke commanded the upper corridor, the Auditorium Usher Squad, and supervised the emergency lunch-rooms. He merited the highest praise. Through Chief Short’s efforts the Student Control obtained an office, which served as the base of opera- tions. A system of post rotation was introduced. Chief Short felt that the force was extra- ordinarily large and that the students were able to govern themselves without so many officers. He inaugurated a plan that cut the number of officers in half, each half going on duty every two weeks. The posts were numbered, and this, too, was a great advantage. The captains had to have some way of checking attendance on the posts so a roll-book was secured and every officer was required to check-in each morning. In this way vacant posts could be filled by substitute officers. The Student Control has just completed a term of service of which the Student Body is rightly proud. Throughout the semester Mrs. Hardy, the Commissioner of Police, was the Control’s wise counselor and good friend, and through her advice many errors were avoided.

T. A., and the spring semester chapter has been an interesting one. The precious antiques displayed at our Old Fashioned Tea” held early in February will long be remembered by those who braved the stormy weather to attend. Our Founders’ Day Program welcomed a large group of new mothers, and Mr. Clark, first principal of Willard, gave us a most interesting history of the founding and early days of Willard. The Sports’ Dinner in March was not only a financial success but also a wonderful expression of com- munity spirit, and we thank all who cooperated to make it a success. We were pleased to donate additional funds to the Library for books. Spring Day was another gala event and a colorful one this year. Then, to close the chapter, the dinner for the graduating class, at which every mother enjoyed cooperating with the faculty in making a delightful memory for her graduating boy or girl. It has been a privilege and a pleasure to work with such enthusiastic and cooperative parents and faculty and principal, and I wish to express my deep appreciation for all that has been accomplished this term. May I wish for the new president and her board another delightful and successful chapter in the Book of Child Welfare Activities.” Mrs. Marshall Sayles, President. JUNIOR RED CROSS This term Willard had twenty-seven advisories, which composed twenty-seven Junior Red Cross Memberships. Each of these advisories received the Junior Red Cross Journal” once a month. This year for the first time the Annual Red Cross Convention was held west of Chicago. The Junior R.ed Cross Section was attended by nearly 1000 representatives from various parts of the United States, including Alaska and Flawaii. As it was in San Francisco, Willard was able to send four delegates, Wayne Hooper, Betty Platt, Helen Scott, and Irving Short, and the sponsor. Miss Farwell. On May second, third, and fourth were meetings and discussions at the Civic Auditorium. The theme of the convention was Junior Red Cross as a Social Force,” and the main problem discussed was What Can Junior Red Cross Contribute to the Solution of Current Social Problems?” Irving Short was one of the stated speakers at the Junior High School Session and he gave one of the best speeches on the program. The entertainment features were a Dinner Dance at the Palace Hotel on Monday, International Night” on Tuesday, and a Sightseeing Tour on Wednesday. Informative meetings as well as messages of delegates from all over the globe made the convention a very worthwhile occasion to Willard delegates and enabled them to bring back to Willard many interesting as well as valuable echoes of the meetings attended. I’LL TRY! It isn’t the person who says, I can’t,” Or the man who does things with a sigh. But the ones who make the world go round Are the fellows who say, I’ll try!” It’s easy to shirk what we ought to do And let the world go by. But you’ll find the fellow who’s out in front Is the one who says, I’ll try!” Jim Stewart STUDENT CONTROL RANKING OFFICERS H9 AND L9 STUDENT CONTROL BOARD H8 AND L8 STUDENT CONTROL BOARD AUDITORIUM SQUAD The Auditorium Squad is an important branch of the Student Control under the leader- ship of Arthur Starke as Chief Usher. It is the responsibility of these people to preserve order during school assemblies from the time the students enter the Auditorium, when they are guided in orderly lines to their assigned seats, to the conclusion of the program. Willard owes Miss M. Mayne a vote of thanks for the fine work she has done in directing the affairs. Auditorium Squad: Virginia Berg, Jane Bickel, Med Callaway, Elizabeth Campbell, Sergt.

The five former presi- dents were welcomed, and Mrs. Hayes and Mrs. Mahoney, the League’s founder, were guests of honor. The League joined with the Student Control in giving a party to Low and High Seven Girls enjoying their first term at Willar d. On Spring Day, League members were candy sellers, and their winning smiles just meant buy!” Not a piece was left. Girls of all the grades tuned in at the League’s song rally. At a girls’ assembly sponsored by the League, the girls had the pleasure of hearing Mrs. R. O. Moody. Music and dramatic talent from all advisories featured the final gathering of the year. Thus ended a happy season for the Girls’ League with a vote of thanks and appreciation to Miss Vaissade, their guide and sponsor. « 1 3 � GIRLS’ LEAGUE OFFICIAL LIST Officers: Betty Platt (Pres.) , Annabella Elkner (Vice-Pres.) , Jean Grove (Sec-Treas.) .

BOYS’ ASSOCIATION The W. B. A., ever on the alert for the best interests of Willard, saw another oppor- tunity in spite of our extensive athletic schedule and limited sport space to squeeze in some more real fun for Willardites during the noon hour. With the help of Mr. Baxter they organized the Noon Basketball League which proved extremely popular. Competition was keen, and good sportsmanship prevailed. Enthusiastic spectators put finishing touches on their noon repast and added applause. For the final meeting of the term the film Batter Up” was obtained, and you may be certain that practically every Willard boy was there.

The Friday evening meetings were given over to crafts, games, and Merit Badge Tests. Many of the boys were busily engaged in making out menus and checking up on equipment for summer camp. Wolf Patrol and Flaming Arrow attended the 193 8 Council Camporee at Tilden Park in which approximately 1000 Scouts and Scouters of the Berkeley-Contra Costa Area participated. At a Court o f Honor held in Willard Auditorium, Merit Badges were awarded for nature study, handicraft, mechanical drawing, and cycling. This meeting concluded the troop’s indoor events for the term.

All kinds of fun featured their programs. Dinners, weenie roasts, house parties, hikes, and a sport dance meant exciting times for the H9’s, while between times they learned how to make leather belts and purses. Cycling around Lake Merritt, a pot-luck supper, a tea for mothers and new members, a jolly week-end at Orinda, and swimming parties galore were on the program of events for the L9’s. Swimming, hiking, and the crafts meant good times for the H8’s of Lokitru. The L8’s were so enthusiastic about the Reserves this semester that there are now two groups, Kimo Loha and Wahini. The H and L7 Members met together as Las Comaradas. They turned cooks for the dinner they gave their parents, and excellent ones they proved to be. Members of all the clubs are planning to spend a week or two at the Reserves’ summer camp. Gold Hollow. Have a good time, girls! « 1 6 � AEGINIAN CLUB CAMERA CLUB AMICITIA CLUB THE CAMERA CLUB At the request of some camera fans Mr. Gremaux formed the Camera Club, which has just completed a very successful first term. Every period of the day members of the club were in the dark room developing and printing pictures. Now the club has its own printer as the result of Mr. Gremaux’s spare-time efforts. The members certainly appreciated the use of the blue-printing room as it saved them many a dollar. In the club’s photo contest for the Target” John Wiskocil won the first prize, Prentice Wharff the second, and Jim Smith the third.

They made all the stencils for the first Scoop” and some for the other issues. They made the stencils and duplicates of Willard’s new constitution to provide a copy for each senator and teacher in the school as well as copies of all the laws passed by the Senate for each advisory.

Why the Senior Scholar- ship Club, that group of ambitious students who qualified for membership by consistently achieving grades from 9 5 to 100 per cent. It is not the material value of the little gold pin they are privileged to wear that thrills their hearts, but the significance of it. To them it is a reward for their untiring efforts. May the tiny gold pin always stimulate and inspire them in their future efforts to achieve success.

THE WILLARD “SCOOP ” Willard is proud of her school paper the Scoop.” Interest has been high. Scarcely has one issue been distributed before the questions begin humming as to when the next one will be out and how one gets on the staff. Articles and features have been alive and timely. Unified effect was gained through the use of a theme and a motif for each issue. Charming designs and figure work of the headings and elsewhere were products of the talented pens of Carlos Brown and Theresa Clark. These together with the vigorous cartoons of John Richardson have enlivened as well as decorated the pages of our school paper. Martha Crandall has proved that a girl can be an able, enthusiastic, and tireless editor. She, with her assistant Ned Stroud, has led a willing and responsive staff. There is no way in which the staff can thank, individually, the members of the faculty and Student Body for their truly fine cooperation, but we feel deeply grateful to them one and all. Students’ hours from studies and after school may not be counted, but they will have their own rewards in developed skills and techniques.

It was the only 7th Grade to reach its quota goal. Of course you have noticed that the Target’s” jacket is especially attractive, and praise is due Theresa Clark who not only drew the design but cut the linoleum block as well. You have probably noted that pictures have been featured in this issue. There are fifty-two groups besides the three snap pages and photos of the graduates.

Such a membership list meant a peak enrollment for a High Nine Choral. These hundred fifty-five music lovers met as a choral every Monday, ninth period, under the leadership of Mrs. Kel- logg, to sing together and prepare for the big event, the High Nine Graduation. At that time they sang several beautiful numbers which were most favorably received by the appre- ciative audience that filled the auditorium to its limit. WILLARD CONCERT A new feature of Willard life this semester was the appearance of a group of Willard’s musical talent of special ability in the Solo Day Program for the pleasure of the entire Student Body. This was not the result of a contest but the culmination of Solo Day, which was held first in each music class and then in each grade. A representative group was chosen from the whole school for the assembly. It was a very fine program that they gave, and we hope a custom has been inaugurated to continue. The following students were chosen to represent Willard in a final concert of the season at Berkeley High School: James Boyias, Catherine Coffin, David Fulmer, Lorraine Howells, Byron Jones, John Knight, Bruce Salomon, and Bob Woods. The program included numbers from the high school, all the junior high schools, and four elementary schools. Those stu- dents invited to attend that afternoon were glowing in their praise of the program presented. GIRLS’ SENIOR GLEE CLUB BOYS’ GLEE CLUB GIRLS’ GLEE CLUBS Mrs. Allen made the term a most enjoyable one for the girls of the Senior Glee, and they accomplished much. President Margaret Connick proposed that the club have an emblem, and one resembling a lyre was chosen. The members had an opportunity to wear their new emblems for the first time when they appeared before Willard’s P. T. A. The membership of the Junior Glee was composed of Low Nine and High Eight Girls who were eagerly aiming to gain perfection in sight reading in three parts. Though they did not appear before an audience this season, they plan to next semester as members of the Senior Girls’ Glee. BOYS’ GLEE CLUB With Mrs. Kellogg as the able leader, a fine group of officers, and eighty-five of the best singers at Willard, this has been a banner term indeed for the Boys’ Glee Club. Much har- mony was heard coming from Room 203 on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings, ranging from Southern melodies to grand opera. Programs were presented for both students and parents. May the good fellowship of singing together continue to be an inspiration to performers and listeners alike. « 26 � WILLARD BAND WILLARD ORCHESTRA THE BAND The Band’s big affair of the season was the concert given in the Auditorium, and the faculty and Student Body had the pleasure of hearing the program. Of course Willard’s Spring Day would not be complete without the Band, and it predominated as the musical feature of the occasion. A selected group of players including Catherine Coffin, Duncan Courvoisier, David Fulmer, Alvin Hambly, and John Knight, known as the Brass Quintet, has done fine work this term. During some of the recent practices of the Band, Mr. Salisbury has given over the baton to David Fulmer, the trombone soloist of the Quintet, and that budding maestro seems to have thoroughly enjoyed the experience. THE ORCHESTRA The Orchestra has had a busy term. Its members had the pleasure of playing at one of the P. T. A. Meetings. On Spring Day a selected group from the Orchestra accompanied the dancers on the program. A play was given by the Le Conte Mothers on May 6th, at which time Willard Orchestra gladly accepted the invitation to play between acts. At an assembly it entertained the Willard students and faculty, and, according to custom, it fur- nished the music for the final event of the term, the High Nine Graduation. Mr. Salisbury and his players may well feel proud of their season’s accomplishments. « 27 � MUSICAL ORGANIZATIONS High Nine Choral: Barbara Abbott, Shzuye Akiyoshi, Elinor Anderson, Mary Arpin, Mary Jane Atkin, Jeanne Atkinson, Bruce Baker, Billy Barker, Bill Barnard, June Bates, Ross Bean, Paula Beekman, Audrey Beresford, Jean Berry, Rose Marie Bosse, Bernice Bower- smith, Adahmae Braselton, Carlos Brown (Pres.), Donald Carlson, Ruth Carlson, Elsie Carter, Jean Clark, Catherine Colfln, Patsy Compton, Margaret Connick, Duncan Cour- voisier, Jeanne Covey, Martha Crandall, Peggy Crane, Kim Creed, Gilbert Cross, Patti Crumme, Jacklyn Cummings, Ann Cunningham, Elaine Detels, Norma Dunton, Barbara Durkee, Lowell Dygert, William Eggett, Jean Elliott, Kenneth Erway, Allison Fairey, Mac Falconer, Helen Ferguson, Harvey Fielder, Louis Fischl, Barbara Foulds, Keith Gaisford, Jeanne Glover, Stanley Greig, Jayne Grond, John Grosh, Evelyn Haines, Charles Hanger, Evelyn Hanson, Lenore Heald, Sylvia Heath, Guyla Hewitt, Mary Holland, Pauline Holler- son, Jane Hopkins, Leonard Hughes, Don Ingalls, Edward Jee, Marie Jefferd, Jeannette Jones, Kenneth Jones, Doris Kariya, Murel Kelsey, Marilyn Keys, Edward Kruse, Esther Leavitt, Jeanne Le Quatte, Betty Lerch, Paul Lindblom, Madalynne Lindenberg, Betty Lindsey, Beatrice Lipsitch, Bill Long, Bill Love, Betty Lyser, Eunice Manning, Bill March, Elizabeth Marshall, Edward Martin, Roy Marubayashi, Joan Maslin, Joseph Massucco, June McCarty, Evelyn McClure, Alan McGregor, Louis Mertins, Kenneth Mirov, Betty Mount- ford, Barbara Newman, Gyo Obata, Maralee Ogle, Nancy Oliver, Andrew Park, Dorothy Patmont, Clinton Peck, Jewel Pendleton, Lucia Peniston, lone Penoli, Betty Platt, Ted Pollock, Betty Resner, Jean Reynolds, Cecil Rice, John Richardson, Bill Robinson, Alma Roth, David Rutledge, Hal Rutledge, Kaoru Sagimori, Albert Samsom, Mery Sasajima, Dorothy Sayles, Ernie Schauppner, Georgia Schneider, James Scott, Jessolyn Scudder, John Sebastian, Dick Seymour, Lillian Sholin, Irving Short, Ruth Silvers, Harold Smith, Kathryn Sparrowe, John Sproul, Arthur Starke, Ned Stroud (Announcer), R.

They swamped Woodrow Wilson in a one-game series and credited in a default and win over Richmond. They were defeated by Garfield in both their games but won two victories over Claremont. Last, but not least, they defeated San Pablo Boys’ Club 26-23 and Crockett 39-28, winning the Crockett 125 lb. division championship. 105’s Although the 105’s fought hard, they ended the season with no victories, losing two games to Garfield and one to Claremont. They got in some good practice, however, and hope for better results in the future. « 32 � BASKETBALL— UNLIMITEDS BASKETBALL— UPPER DIVISION ADVISORY CHAMPIONS (H9 No. 109) ROTARY BASEBALL TEAM THE UNLIMITEDS The Unlimiteds kept steadily forging ahead in their season’s competitions and emerged in the lead.

Classed as 14 1 ’s, they defeated the San Pablo Boys’ Club 2 5 to 20 and followed up with victory over the Crockett Basketball Team 5 5 to 1 6. This game cinched the champion- ship for Willard and concluded the season’s honors. « 33 � BOYS’ BASKETBALL 95’s In spite of a late start the 9 5’s managed to get in three games. Their first was with Claremont Jr. High and a victory for Willard. The second was against Garfield in the Garfield Gym. Willard put up a fine fight, but the score was 17-14 in Garfield’s favor. The third and final game of the season was again with Garfield, but this time on Willard terri- tory. Willard’s fast offensive was to its advantage, and Garfield was defeated 18-12.

MY PAL A great many people’s pals are men. Others like having a book for a friend. But my faithful pal just happens to be A small brown dog whose name is Dee. He’s as frisky as a new-born colt. He runs as fast as a lightning bolt. He chases sticks, and he chases stones. And he loves to bury old beef bones. On a moonlight night he likes to sing. He expresses himself in modern swing. Though the things he does make the neighbors sad, I know he’s the best pal I ever had. Nancy Taylor « 3 5 � THIRTEEN! Say, Emmy, you know what? I got this straight from Mrs. Peabody so it’s true. Joe Hoots lost his job!” No, how?” Well, you know how superstitious he is. Anyway, it seems Mr. Gilbert, his boss, told him to mail thirteen letters and, since he’s superstitious, he left one to mail tomorrow. The letter turned out to be very important, so he’s fired!” Such was the conversation that went on over all the back fences in town: Joe Hoots fired!” Now Joe himself wasn’t particularly dissatisfied. In fact he kept repeating to his wife, Miranda, that if he had mailed all of them why he might even be dead now or war might be declared or the town might burn up or she might get sick. Yes,” he said, it’s better this way.” There was another cause for excitement in the town, too. Mrs. Rockafelling and her wealthy husband, Wilbert, had come to visit Mr. Gilbert, her brother. A party was being given for them that night by Mrs. Peabody, before they left. Joe and Miranda were invited, and, as they left, Miranda mentioned casually, Joe, there are going to be thirteen people there tonight. One of the guests got sick.” If Mr. Hoots ever looked sick, it was now. Then he had an idea. Why would Mrs. Pea- body mind if he asked Pete, the cop on the corner, to come in? Pete thought the idea swell since he hadn’t had a fancy” dinner for years. As a result, there were fourteen guests instead of thirteen. Joe was satisfied. While everyone was busy cutting steak, two lights suddenly went off and Mrs. Rocka- felling screamed, My jewels, my jewels!” Then a shot was fired, followed by another scream, from a man this time, and the lights went on. Pete hadn’t forgotten his gun, and he had wounded the man who had tried to take Mrs. Rockafelling’s jewels. There were two heroes that night! Pete was one for saving the jewels, but everyone realized that Joe was responsible for Pete’s being there. :r «• Say, Emmy, you know what? I got this straight from Mrs. Peabody so it’s true.

I thought of it suddenly when I was packing Mother’s shawl. Aunty’s picture, and my brother’s Italian flag. Then I thought of the little shop on Via San Vincenzzo. A little old man has fine handiwork there. I had just a half an hour so I ran down there and tried to pull my crazy Italian on him. Finally I got him to understand I wanted something for a little boy. He said he had just the thing, a chair. Well, you can imagine what I thought of taking a chair across the broad Atlantic, but, when I saw how small it was, I consented to buy it. I was going through the customs when the official said, That’s a very fine work of art you have there.” Then he said, Who is it for?” I said it was for my little nephew. Give a priceless thing like that to a little boy? My goodness!” he said. This required no answer, but I could not help thinking that a little toy from the Italian tourist office in New York City wouldn’t change a little boy’s thoughts. Billy Alexander « 37 � THE GOLD EXPRESS OE ’76 The sun was beating down on the road along which the stage was soon to travel. Miss Sarah Glasson, school teacher, was waiting in the shade of the small office of the Malacoff Mine. Soon a great cloud of dust rose over the rise of the hill, and the stage had arrived. George Legg, foreman of the mine, came out of the office to see Miss Glasson off, but, also, to give Sam Mitchell, the stage driver, forty thousand dollars in gold bullion to take to Nevada City. Well, Sam,” he said, you have quite a lot of money there. Don’t let anybody take it away.” Turning to Miss Glasson, he said, And don’t you let anyone take the gold from under your feet, Miss Glasson. There is too much money there for anyone but the bank to have. Good-bye, have a good time with your sister.” As the stage rolled along the dusty road, Sarah was very busy. She was arranging her voluminous skirts around the Box, trying to hide it. If any bandits come now, they won’t even see it,” she said. About midmorning Harry, the guard, ceased his vigilance because they had already passed the most dangerous part of the road and were almost to the foot of Edwards Grade, where, once at the top, they would be safe. Just as they rounded the bend placing them at the foot of the grade, three armed and masked men came out of the bushes. Hands up! and don’t make any trouble.” The man that seemed to be the leader of the little group stepped forward and demanded that Sam give him the gold. We ain’t carrying any gold for any bandits to take,” answered Sam. Angrily the bandit stepped toward the stage, opened the door, and started to pull out all the packages, bundles, and luggage piled opposite Miss Glasson. Don’t you dare take any of my baggage out of this stage!” ordered Miss Glasson indignantly. Since you are a lady,” answered the bandit, nothing belonging to you shall be touched, but I must ask you what belongs to you.” Why those two bags there and that package and those boxes over there,” answered Miss Glasson. And to whom does that box under your feet belong?” inquired the bandit. Oh, I don’t — I mean, it belongs to me.” Miss Glasson flushed considerably at her mis- take, and, when the bandit turned from the stage, she heaved a great sigh of relief. Harry and Sam were relieved, too, but, when Sarah saw the leader turn back and say, I would, out of curiosity, like to see what a woman keeps in such a strong box,” she slammed the door and cried to Sam to start the stage. A gun roared, and Sam’s right arm lay limp at his side. Harry answered the shot and dropped one of the bandits. Another shot roared, and Harry, gasping, fell limp. Four horses, the leader severely wounded, pulled the stage into Nevada City and stopped in front of the National Hotel. The astonished postmaster did not know what to think when he saw the lead horse drop dead and the two wounded men on the seat. Please, Mr. Tobbins,” said Miss Glasson, leaning out of the window, help Sam and Harry. We were held up along the road, but the bandits didn’t get the gold because I told them it was part of my baggage.” All that the astonished Mr. Tobbins could say was, Well, I’ll be a son of a horse thief!” Barbara Durkef. « 3 8 � EARNING HIS SWIMS The hottest twentieth of June in eight years found Roy Prowler very much disgruntled as he sat on the curb. The town swimming pool was his idea of heaven, cool and sparkling on the other side of the fence, but the problem was how to get on the right side of the fence. His allowance was gone, and his ideas were going. He had found a swell hole in the fence on the other side of the pool, but the only trouble was that the life guard had found it also, and at that very moment was nailing it closed. Hearing a startled yell up the road, he looked up just in time to see a large empty limou- sine rolling down the hill toward him. Springing to the running board of the careening car, his heart leaped to his throat as the door handle gave way under his hand, and he swung into the front seat. If he could only stop before getting to that sharp curve half a block down! He just had to! He yanked the brake as hard as he could, and the car screeched to a skidding stop. He had just sunk back and caught his breath when he saw a round little man in gay swimming trunks bouncing down the hill toward him, followed by a crowd of people large and small in dripping bathing suits. Roy recognized the fat little red-faced man as J. Wellington Jones, the town tycoon, and he was the owner of the sleek black car. I say, young man,” puffed Mr. Jones, ' T thank you! What courage!” He held out a dripping hand to Roy, now blushing fearfully and grinning very sheepishly at his admiring public. In a few minutes J. Wellington Jones and Roy pulled up in front of the fence around the pool. This time the gate was open to Roy as a personal guest of Mr. Jones. Roy thought as he fingered the season pass in his pocket, Well, there’s more than one way of getting over that fence.” David Fulmer WHAT’S THE USE! The Indian dormitory was on fire! Heroically Don Doubledare rushed into the burn- ing building. The roof was about to fall in! Frank, Don’s roommate, ran in after him. For three breathless moments the other boys waited, and then out stumbled Don, covered with ashes, carrying with him Chief Heap-Good-Five-Cent-Cigar, the dormitory’s mascot. His classmates cheered and were about to bear him off on their shoulders when they heard a voice above the din. It was Tom’s. ' Hey, you fellows, get Frank! He’s still in the building!’ he shouted. Don and Tom made a rush for the blazing building, but they were too late because crash! Down came the roof! Frank was trapped in the ” Billy, come here this minute. I’ve called you three times!” cried Billy’s irritated mother. Don’t you read another word until you’ve mowed the lawn and helped your dad burn the rubbish. Then ask your sister if you can help her with the dishes.” Aw, gee,” muttered Billy, I bet Don Doubledare, and Frank, and Tom never had to do dishes or mow the lawn. Oh, I guess heroes are made and not born. Shucks! I can be like Don some day, if I want to. Boy, can’t you see me carrying Frank out of the burning building? I’ve rescued him! Don’t you hear the crowd cheering me? Oh boy, oh boy! There goes Ma calling again! Aw, what’s the use! A feller can’t be a hero even if he wants to.” Faith Droitcour « 39 � FORTUNE, NOT FISH One day while deep-sea fishing oflf the coast of Florida, a man named Mr. Byron and his young son, Bud, noticed an old beer bottle softly gliding over the waves. As they drifted towards it, they could make out a white object inside the bottle. Upon closer inspection, the object they noticed within the old bottle proved to be a note. Bud reached over the side of the boat and drew the bottle from the water. He hastily handed it to his excited father, who proceeded to decipher the faded message. The note told of a wealthy man, William E. Sorenson, who owned a large estate in Miami. Mr. Sorenson had been cruising on his palatial yacht, when another faster boat came towards him. A group of men from the speeding craft climbed out and boarded his yacht. Two of the men robbed his guests while two more made Mr. Sorenson climb into their boat at the point of a gun. They started the powerful motors and out over the horizon they sped. The note then told how he had been taken prisoner to a small island about forty miles out at sea where he was being held for a very high ransom. There’s no time to waste if there’s a chance for a rescue,” said the excited Mr. Byron. At that they hastily docked their boat and motored at top speed to police headquarters where they rapidly told of their discovery to the Chief. That night a large group of armed police sped to the mysterious island. They took the bandits completely by surprise and freed the captured Mr. Sorenson. For their timely infor- mation, needless to say, Mr. Byron and Bud received a generous reward. The happy Mr. Byron then exclaimed to Bud, Although we didn’t get any fish, laddie, we did get fifteen- hundred dollars!” Lowell Foster IN TOW Jim’s dog. Spotty, suddenly became a champion life saver and hero in one day. Jim’s baby cousin, Philip, was eyeing the muddy water of the creek running behind the house. He had a light of mischief in his eyes. When Jim left the room, he slipped out of the house and headed for the creek. Spotty was resting on the porch when Philip passed him. He got up and followed down the stairs and over to the creek. Philip was having the time of his life when he suddenly slipped on a wet moss-covered stone and fell head on into the deepest part of the stream. Spotty was chasing a gopher upon the bank at the time. He heard Philip’s screams for help and leaped from the bank into the deep water. He caught hold of Philip’s pants and lit out for shore. It was a queer sight. Spotty towing the screaming, struggling, and frantic Philip behind him. The family heard the noise and ran down to the creek. It was a strange scene that greeted their astonished eyes. The baby w as crying, and kissing Spotty and loving him. The pup, in turn, was standing over Philip licking his face, trying his best to comfort him. Spotty immediately leaped into fame, and the family made much of him. Still he remem- bered deep down in his heart the time Baby Philip had pulled his tail and kicked him, but he shoved it right out of his mind more quickly than it entered. Philip loved him now, and he loved Philip. He was a hero for months to come. William Ellis A SURPRISE A little drop of rain fell down From rainland far away Upon a meadow’s grassy nest And fell asleep that day. And, when he wakened up again. Imagine his surprise. When he found he was a violet With dewdrops in his eyes! Helen Crane « 40 � LUCKY WASHOUT! Look at that car go!” said Ed as he rang up the cash register at Mac and Ed’s general store in Warm River. He must be doin’ eighty if any,” replied Mac. As the car rounded the bend and headed out of town, a police siren could be heard in the distance. A white car drove up to the general store, and a policeman jumped out. Did a 1936 green Buick just pass through here doin’ about eighty?” asked one of the policemen. Yep, just made the bend, and they’re headed out of town,” replied Ed. What did they do? Murder somebody?” asked Mac. It’s not that bad,” said one of the officers, but they robbed the bank in town and got away with $20,000.” They won’t get far with the bridge washed out up ahead,” said Ed. Bridge washed out! Come on, Jerry, after ’em!” Wait!” shouted Ed. We know a short-cut up the road, a way that will save you a lot of time!” All right then, come on!” The car wound through the mountains at dangerous speed, and about one mile out of town turned off the main road into a narrow one and proceeded for about three miles. Look here,” said Ed. There are your men, stopped over there where the bridge is washed out.” Better halt the car here, Jerry, and we’ll surround ’em.” Ed and Mac went to the left while the officers went to the right. They’re sure making enough noise,” said Mac. They must be quarreling over some- thing. Sure thing, it’s the dough!” ' Look out! That one’s drawing a gun,” shouted Ed. Ed jumped out from the bushes and grabbed the hand with the gun just as it pulled the trigger. The policemen, hearing the shot, came running. There in the middle of the road were Ed and Mac struggling with the bandits. Ed seized the gun and staggered to his feet. O. K., boys. It’s all over.” We’ll get even with you guys,” snarled one of the bandits. You fellers did a swell job, and you’ll be well paid for it, too,” said one of the policemen. What do you mean?” said Mac. Well, there’s $1 500 reward out for ’em.” Do you mean we’ll get the reward?” You bet!” Gee!” said Ed, and it sure was fun catching ’em.” Isabelle Armstrong SATISFIED I think this world is a swell place to be Because there’s so much to do and to see. And, if I were asked who I’d like to be, I think my choice would be just to be me. Vivian Sapei « 4 1 � SPRING DAY-SWING DAY Jupiter Pluvius, himself, deems Willard’s Spring Day a momentous occasion and spared us disappointment this year.

Willard’s thanks to you, Mrs. Underhill. IT’S FUN! Happy’s always bright and sunny; He never has a frown. Now Grumpy is an awful grouch; His mouth just turns ’way down. Happy always sings and whistles Whether at work or play. But Grumpy always thinks of thistles. He doesn’t know how to be gay. Don’t you think you’d better strive To always have a smile? It’s lots more fun than being cross. Just try it for awhile! Rachel Wright. « 43 � UmcM} 1. Moments Like This. 2 . Love ' X ' alkcd In. }. ril Get Along Somehow. 4. More chan Ever. 5.
