Football One week after school started, the coach called f ' f tb ll A forty students responded, and practice started immecliatgly. oclltfiih thgnsix 13133 men as a nucleus, a good team was soon formed. After several weeks of strenuous practice, we met our old Jay-Hawk enemy, Ix. C. K. Chrisman won by a score of 14-6. This was the first time in three years that K. C. K. had lost a game on her own field. U G Our nent big game and also our first conference game was with Hig- g'lI1SV1ll8. This game was very interesting as Chrisman and Higginsville had been picked as the two strongest teams in the conference. The result of this gamedwas a tie. Hfigginsville won the conference with W. C. H. S. a close secon . The strongest and hardest fought game of the season was at Marshall on November 10. About three hundred and twenty-five students and members of the-faculty, with several business men from the town, went to Marshall in a special train. Many more went in cars. Neither team succeeded in making a score. W. C. H. S. had a very successful season, winning nine out of thirteen games played and tying two. Basket Ball p Basket ball practice started just as soon as the football season ended. An inter-class basket ball tournament was held about December first. Before the tournament, the juniors were picked as the most likely winners. But the seniors came in as a 'tdark horse and won the cup. The best players from the class teams were asked by the coach to come out for the regular squad. Practice progressed rapidly until just before Christ- mas, when Chrisman played two minor games, winning both. On January 12 was our next game. Wentworth attacked us on our home court. Wentworth was defeated by a score of 43-23. Later Wentworth won the conference championship in her own conference. , One week later we played Sedalia on our own court. Chrisman won by a score of 34-25. On February 9, we played Sedalia at Sedalia, losing by a score of 32-17. This tied Sedalia and W. C. H. S. as the two strongest teams in the conference. In the M. V. C. tournament at Marshall on March 2 and 3, W. C. H. S. won the cup by several easy victories. It was at this tournament that the Chrisman squad was first called Blue Racers. The name was generally adopted by the school. l Because of some unknown reason the Chrisman squad lost their second game in the Warrensburg tournament. 'Warrensburg High Kfichool, whong Chrisman had defeated twice before, succeeded in defeating the Blue Racers, thereby eliminating them from the tournament. A ' The basket ball season was very successful. Besides winning one cup, the attendance at the games held in the W. C. H. S. gym was the largest in years.

'Many of the boys Of fl he classes of the school have been taken into the society from year to Ye?1'- T 9 ideals of the society are high, and it has ever tried to serve the best interests of the school. Nautilus Literary Society The Nautilus Society has been trying this year by service to others and self-improvement to live up to its motto: Build thee more stately mansions, O my soul, As the swift seasons roll! Leave thy low-vaulted past! Let each new temple, nobler than the last, Shut thee from heaven with a dome more vast, Till thou at length are free, Leaving thine outgrown shell by life's unresting sea! Chambered Nautilus -Holmes.. . ' Aristonian Literary Society Although in the past year the Aristonians have appeared but once be- fore the general assembly, this does not indicate lack of interest and work, for with quiet persistence and diligence, much constructive work has been carried on in this society. Even if they have not been thrown into the limelight, the old maxim, Still waters run deep, holds good. At an assembly during activity hour, a very original and interesting program was presented, the chief feature being bird calls by Coach Miller. Many good forms of entertainment were given before the society, such as read- ings, music, stunts, jokes and impersonations. Being one of the oldest societies in school, the Aristonians have tried to stick together and live up to their motto, Let us be eminent in all things. Athenian Literary Society The Athenian Literary Society was organized in September, 1921, by Mr. Elliott and-a group of ambitious boys. The membership was soon enlarged and the Athenians were giving the other societies some decided competition. For 'that year and the two successive years the Athenians have held the cham- pionship in debating. , This year they have given a number of programs in assembly, although they have given no parties. E The As-You-Like-It Dramatic Club . I In the As-You-Like-It, the two phases of club life, the social and work- ing sides, are most happilylcombined. Our study of dramatics has been greatly augmented by the production of group plays,'in which every girl is given an opportunity for development.

The work was presented by different members at each meeting. In October, We had a Weiner roast at Fruit Crest. Another enjoyable event was a party held- at the home of Helen Montgomery in January. The eats were especially enJoyed. Asimost of the girls in our society are seniors, there will be a great decrease in our membership. Shakespearian Literary Society The Shakespearian Society was organized early in the school year 1921- 22. They have given several entertaining and unique programs during the two years of its organization. The crowning event of the year was the Holland Bell Ringers. The program was quite different from anything given here before and was a suc- cess. About seventy dollars were cleared from this performance. The society has for its aim the improvement in all literary activitiesg to uphold William Chrisman ideals, and help create school pep. Chrisman Radio Club The Radio Club of the W. C. +H. S. started to exist November 15, 1922, as one of the live organizations of the W. C. H. S. It started with sixteen lively members who are Working hard to promote an interest in radio and to reach the theory and operation of radio telegraph and telephone. ' Clionian Literary Society The Clionian Literary Society put on the Saint Patrick's Day program in assembly March 16. This is the first time this society has ever appeared in public, but they hope to do more and better work in the future. ' Girl Reserves The Girl Reserve Club organized last fall, is a branch of the Y. W. C. A. for girls. Q , . , A The purpose of the National Young Women's Christian Association is, To associate young women in personal loyalty to Jesus Chr1st as Savior-and Lordg to promote growth in Christian character and service through physical, social, mental and spiritual training, and to become a social force for the ex- tension of the Kingdom of God. Physical Culture Club ' The Physical Culture Club, organized the early part of the. last school year, is becoming quite a factor in the athletic life of William Chrisman High School. ' During the first semester, basket ball and volley ,ball teams were organ- ized and several very interesting games were played.

Though our music department has not reached the place we hope for it in the future, yet this year has marked successful achievements, which we expect to build upon for a greater musical life of William Chrisman.D On Sunday afternoon, January 31, the chorus classes, assisted by soloists from the Boys' Glee Club and the Girls' Quartet, were presented in sacred concert. The first part of the program consisted of miscellaneous sacred num- bers, the last part Was given over to the rendition of the sacred cantata, Zion. This concert was complimentary to the friends of the school and a 'large and appreciative audience attended. , The climax of our efforts this year came in the presentation of the comic operetta Bulbul, given on Friday evening, May 4. The music is bright and tuneful, the story is fanciful and the situations amusing. Iamit, a fussy little monarch, has betrothed his beautiful daughter, Bulbul, to the mighty Prince Caspian, whom she has never seen. On his way to the palace to claim his bride, the prince and his friends disguise themselves as peddlers, because of his desire to Woo and Win the maiden, not as a prince but as a man. Several com- plex situations arise as the story develops, but are overcome, 'when-three happy couples decide to be married the same day, Tuesday at noon. The solo singing as well as the ensemble Work was much above the average and throughout the performance ,called forth vigorous applause from the audience. The dances, especially the stately minuet, added a charm to the evening. The orchestra was a Valuable contributing factor in making the operetta a success.

Debating There is probably not a more interesting and more educational subject sponsored by the school authorities than is debating. In the Lees Summit debate, the school was represented by Filson and Bracken- bury, having the negative of the question, Resolved, That the Federal Government should own and control the coal mines of the United States. 'The home team won by a two to one decision of the judges. The next debate was with Carrollton, in February. The school was represented by Brackenbury and Mitchell, who this time debated on the aflirmative side of the same question and were defeated. - Q ' The defeat by Carrollton eliminated us from further debate in the league, but though the boys were defeated, they felt well repaid for their time put on the debate. Other debaters in the school are Bruce Gold, Virgil Julian, Elbert Luif and Roger Slaughter. There is probably not a person in school, besides Miss Phelps, who worked harder and more sincerely than did Bruce Gold, and he certainly deserves credit for his effort. Miss Phelps spent many hours working with the boys on their debates and we may say that the boys express their most sincere thanks and gratitude to her.

ELBERT P. LIJFF. Q, K p .R A A , i The Death Rate of W.,C.i H. S. In this age of science, statistics are much in demand. Birth and death rates areukept of all social organizations. W. C. H. S. has a highvdeath rate. By this death rate is meant the number of people who drop out of school. It may be of interest to readers of this Gleam to know how the enrollment' at the first of the year varies with the attendance in May. In the school year of 1915, the enrollment was three hundred ninety- one. At the end of the year, the attendance was three hundred forty-six, a loss of forty-five pupils. This is comparatively small, but in 1918 and 1919 the rate was about one hundred each year. Both of these yearshtwenty per cent of the school dropped out. This year there 'was about a five per cent greater drop than in 1918. A A I We have no statistics to show why these people have dropped out and what they are doing at the present. Who is to be blamed for thiscondition? It is indeed a grave one. We have so many opportunities thrust upon us that we do not know how toappreciate them. The faculty tries in every way to help us realize this. If we could hearmany of the private conferences which are held by students and members of our faculty, we could easily see that the principal fault does not lie there. In the talks which are given in assemblies, the constant endeavor is to make us realize the opportunities which we have and to take advantage of them. Many of these boys and girls could have gone on with their high school education at least. For various reasons they have dropped. There may be outside reasons, most of their time is spent in endeavors to keep up with the desire for education. The value of such -an education cannot be fully realized by all young P90910 of high school age, so they must make many of the early decisions. We are not capable of standing 'alone yet. As one of our speakers said, The deeper we send the root, the higher the structure that can be erected. If we are to be something in life, we must send the tap root of education far into the ground and try to build durable structures of ourselves.

PIISB that the President, burdened Wlth ill? C3165 Of a warring nation, should find time to spare in assisting a bug. Well,. said Lincoln, with that homely sincerity that has touched the hearts of millions of his countrymen and placed him foremost in our affections, lldo you know if I had left that bug struggling there on his back, I wouldn't ave felt- Just right. I wanted to put hun on his feet and give him an equal chance with all the other bugs of his class. Sometime soon, the people of Independence are to have an excellent opportunity to aid a desperately struggling bug. It is a very large one, but it is often said that the larger the thing the harder the fall. This said bug is the school system of Independence. Of course the pupils of high school are particularly interested in the progress of W. C. H. IS. Our enrollment is in- creasing and that very rapidly. The school is crowded to overflowing and we need room for expansion. . When our present high school was built, it was estimated that it could accommodate six hundred and fifty students nicely and possibly seven hundred. The present enrollment is seven hundred and eighty-seven. This is one hun- dred and thirty-seven pupils more than our school was built to contain. At the first of the year, a scale of subjects was made out. 'This showed that if each student would take the subjects allotted him and remain with that class, that we could have sufficient quarters. The classes would contain -about twenty-five pupils each, and none would have as many as thirty. However, we students change our minds and decide to take other subjects, and we don't want certain subjects. That often causes a landslide because of the inclination to stick together. We don't realize, as one of our teachers said, that school is a privilege and not a compulsion, that we should be thankful for what we can get, and not feel that we have the authority to demand certain things and ex- pect them to be furnished immediately. ' In many schools, the freshmen have gone with the Junior High Schoolg but in our case, the Junior High is in the same condition which we are. Ex- pansion is inevitable. We must have more room, or school will have to be run in morning and afternoon sessions. The only possibilities are annexes. We have room for one building as far as land is concerned. But where the financial aid is to spring from remains to be seen. A bond issue may be pro- posed. If so, it is up to us all to try to educate our townsmen up to needs of our school system so the issue will be passed and we will have adequate room. Soon the bug will be flat on its back, and it is up to us all to help it on its feet again.

C 0 Nlillllllw J .lllllun fat Progress of the Athletic Field Fund The William Chrisman High School has for a long time Wanted an ath- letic field of its own rather than renting one each year. Last October the junior class decided to sponsor the purchasing of this fieldp Immediately the project was put before the student body where it was accepted unanimously. A committee of five was elected from that class and one member from each of the other. classes. The committee was John McDonald, J ack Gardner, Herbert Records, Sybil Burrus and Agnes Adams from the junior class, Frederick Evans from the senior, Kenneth Harrington from the sophomore, and Robert Sullivan from the freshman. - A plan of the proposed field was drawn and that was divided into fifty squares, each, representing one hundred dollars. A large thermometer was made to register the temperature of the school spirit and bank book. The first square painted 'October 18 was by the junior class and the George S. Bryant Literary Society. The Norfleet Trio concert, sponsored by the juniors, cleared eighty-two dollars. 'The George S. Bryant finished paint- ing the square with money made by the sale of confectionsat football games. This plan was not of interest to the school only, but had drawn much attention from the outside. ' ' November 4, the Parent-Teacher Association painted a square with money made at a cafeteria. November 21 to 28 was known in Independence as Work Week. Every one was making a dollar to help paint a square. 'We made two hundred and sixty dollars. On February 17, the Parent-Teachers cleared a second one hundred dollars with a cafeteria. Q K By this 'time the men of the town were vitally interested. They showed their appreciation of the effort made by the school by exerting all of their energy for a home talent play, Cheer Up. It w-as sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce and' given February 22-23. They cleared two hundred and nine- teen dollars and thirty-five cents, to which was added thirty dollars-rental for Junior High School for those two nights-given by the school board. On February 16 the Shakespearian Literary Society made sixty dollars on a concert given by the Holland Bell Ringersf' March 9 and 10 the junior class gave their annual class play and cleared three hundred dollars which was added to this fund. , April '13, the Radio Club gave ten dollars made from selling confections at basket ball games.

Professor Sdfdlriioh Spiga io ,la CQUF111 Of BT18h'C0H Early, the groom, arrives. The professor presents t arby Wltl 9. Very fare Egyptianscarab which he said was taken from the om .of one of the Ptolemies. With the professor comes his son, Hemachus, Zvho is a source of much laughter. .The insect presented to Early is said to -11ng the owner good fortune, prov1ded that upon receiving it he shall bury rtlefog twenty-four hours. Early neglects to do this and thus the action com- n es. . , - First of all, Early receives word that a bank in which he is interested has failedg but upon investigation finds that it is another bank, the one in which his best friend, Billy Jackson, is interested. Jackson is a, regular heart breaker and all through the play he is in trouble withtwo girls and a widow, each of whom claims that he is engaged to her. When he Hnds that he has lost his money, he decides to propose to Mrs. Ima Clinger, a rich widow. Mrs. Clinger is the proud mother of a little angel of eight, Angelina, who causes trouble all through the story by her eavesdropping. About this time Dodo DeGraft, a melodramic actress, arrives upon the scene and demands that the groom pay her thirty thousand dollars to escape a breach of promise suit. She produces some letters that show that he had, when younger, proposed to her. While she is making her demands, the hostess arrives upon the scene. Early is puzzled as to how he can best explain the presence of Dodo. But the hostess mistakes her for Mrs. Spiggot, the pro- fessor's wife, who had stayed at home on account of the illness of one of the children. All of the guests seem surprised to see that the rustic professor has suchnan ultraumodern and lively wife. By this time presents and articles of value are disappearing around the house. Watches are missing, money is gone, and when Aunt Paradise, the colored maid, is out of the room for a moment, her supper disappears. She attributes these losses to a hoodoo, who turns out to be a burglar. Billy Jackson's troubles commence about this point in the play, He has proposed to Gwendolyn Perrington Shine, Doris Rufiles, and Mrs. Clmger. He proposed to the first in fun, to the second through love, and to the third through necessity. All three accept and he is at a loss to know what to do. While, the burglar is making his final round-up, he meets Dodo who proves to be his wife. In their discussion it develops that they .have been mar- .- . ' ' h E 'l writin ' his letters 11ed for several years, in fact all' the time t at ai y was g or proposal the actress was marr1ed. When the burglar leaves, he drops a diamond necklace that he has stolen f' M .

Of course the guilt is fastened upon him and .for time things look pretty dark.

Ra1ston's brokerage firIn,is -given S10,000.by Gwen Ralston. 5He promises to invest the money in such va way that it will double itself in a few days. He does not know, that themoney is part of afcharity fund the church is raising. That afternoon as Bob, E. M. Dick and Van Duser are talking, Bob makes a 310,000 bet with the men that he can tellthe truth for twenty-four hours. V The four men go to E. M.'s home to spend the week end, 'and then the fun really begins. In his efforts to tell the truth, Bob setseverything in a turmoil. When he 'is asked for his -opinion, he truthfully states his mind, and often offendslthe other guests. Before he has time to win his wager, he nearly breaks up the Ralston home, because he answers truthfully questions asked him by Mrs. Ralston. E V-Finally as the audience is sitting in suspense, and poor Bob is in a very tight -place-the clock strikes four and the bet iswon. Then by some clever lying on'Bob's part everything is righted, :and the play closed with the hero and the heroine-well, you should have seen it. Q V Special credit is ,due the sponsors, because no one worked harder than they, in producing suchia 'show of real talent, ability and training.

W e were afraid of the taunts of the egotistic sophomores, cast admiring glances at the juniors and looked with envy upon the dignified seniors. At the ringing of the bell we would creep into our class rooms and remain awe-stricken while in the presence of our sympathetic teachers, but were afraid to express our opinions very freely before them for fear they would detect the blankness of our young minds Near the middle of the year the seniors entertained us with an a t h' h ' cl Y , p r y w ic game for them our everlasting gratitude. We were grateful to them for discarding their di .H d t I . . . . . gm e cos umes and diessing like us freshie boys and girls, in aprons and overalls. Our names were even pinned upon our clothing lest We would forget them during the excitement, of the evening. The refreshments were lollypops and ice cream cones. The only public entertainment we were allowed to take part in was the Fantastic Fancies, in which some of our girls represented cherries and peaches fthis, of course, required no practicel. Another red letter day was our picnic at Swope Park.

We pitied our class- matesg our teachers pitied us. 'Social engagements were not pressing during this year. This threw no damper on our feelings as we thought our classmates were jealous of us. The senior class sought our friendship and gave a rook party in honor of us. Prizes were not given but we were eager to show our skill as card players. We were taught true sportsmanship 'by taking defeat or victory with a smile. To show the seniors we approved of their advances, we entertained them later in -the year and proved ourselves capable hosts and hostesses. ' Near the middle of the year a petition was seen circulating around school. It advocated the opening of school at eight o'clock and the continuing of classes until two o'clock without any intermission. The boys wished to have a longer time to work and the girls to have more time to visit the beauty parlors. The sophomore girls of course made no such calls but voted with the majority. On the appointed day we were all there at eight o'clock, but school didn't open until eight-thirty and we remained until three-thirty, which we continued to do throughout the school year. ted in the Carnival. Elizabeth Whaley was chosen our class queen. Jack Hefter was Prince Charming, and crowned the carnival queen. The We were well represen crowning event of the sophomore year was our picnic held at Horseshoe Lake the ' 1 - ' 't d e'e re ared to become last day of school. We had now discaided ou1 frivoli y an w 1 p p quite studious juniors. Eighty-Th1'1'l' wtllllllfg V- Lest We Forget ACT III LIFE WAS A MERRY CHIME , 1 Nineteen hundred twenty-one found us mild but peppy juniors. Mr. Finley WaS 'our new principal and he found his coworkers among the members of our class. The year was started 0E with -a boom! First came the barn party that we gave the sophs in the gymnasium. The decorations consisted of bales of hay and .shocks of corn. We wanted to decorate with something appropriateg some suggested grass, but remember- ing that.one year hadn't wrought many changes, we decided on milder decorations. , Mr. Finley asked each class in school to put on a pep assembly. When the juniors' time came, the boys gallantly ofered to take' all the responsibility off the girls' -shoulders by giving the program without our assistance. We girls, fearing that people would think us unenthusiastic, decided to put on a program even better than that the boys gave. The entertainment consisted of musical numbers. Each song was represented by several junior girls. At the close, all the junior girls came in and sang, A junior girl is just like a pretty song. ' Our class also excelled in athletics, as was shown in the interclass basket ball contest, in which we came out with dying colors. Then came the junior play. One of the eight, it was called. Elizabeth Swan was the obedient wife, and really we can't understand yet how she ever played such a submissive part. And Pe-ter, Pe-ter, the Irish attendant of Lord Chillingworth, was the hit of the evening. Student government was organized thatyear and we did our part by furnishing the secretary of the republic. Last, but indeed not least, came the junior reception. Here we. bade the seniors farewell. We were now ready to assume their duties. Our countenances were even beginning to radiate knowledge.

No lollger dld We wander aimlessly about the rooms, and through the halls. We were now earnestly striving to make our last year the best, and leave behind us a record of which we would' be proud, and one which would be hard to surl pass. Our class roll was slightly different than when we entered high school. Some of our members had married and some left us to enter the business world. Nevertheless our numbers remained approximately the same, as we had' the good fortune to gain -almost as many as we lost. Not many parties were given this year as our school had become so large that one.class could not entertain another satisfactorily. Nevertheless,- we seniors had a party for our own class members. We hated to think that in a few months we wouldebe' young men and women, so we 'arranged for a kid party. This was one of the most inter- esting entertainments we ever had, although we disliked the idea of 'not shar- ing our fun with other classes. ' As had been the custom of the school for several years, the senior class furnished the Christmas program. We made it better than usual this year by giving a play. It will not be easy to forget Mary Brown as the little child, or Hershel Grinter as the grandfather. The proceeds of this entertainment were given to the Welfare League. In February, the Gleam staff put on a play to wind up their campaign sale of Gleams. Here we represented our class twenty years after graduation. We have a funny appear-ance as little old men and Women. - V Senior week was our happiest week in high school. We laid aside, for the first time our books to enjoy our last week together. During this week pleasure reigned supreme. We reveled in breakfasts, picnics, and various forms of pleasure. The senior play was given during this week and it far . ' - - - h surpassed anything our class had previously given. Then we experienced e lon ed-for event-graduation. At last we had reached the goal toward which 8' we had been striving for twelve years. We were aware of the fact that we had not reached the place where we could cast aside our books and drift with r of the class realized he had only reached the foothills the tide.

The coming contest in the election was very interesting to me, inasmuch as had been acquainted with the two candidates since they were in my classlin high school. I remember Marybelle Eubank as a vigorous, energetic editor-in-chief, and Roger Slaughter's arguments were never to be forgotten. The race for presidency was getting close. There was little news concerning it, however, and I was about to put the paper down again, when a small item caught my eye. Independence, Mo., Athletes Win Honors on Same Day. John Giha, an Independence prodigy, yesterday defeated Joie Ray in the national meet at Los Angeles. At practically the same time Kid CLeonJ Harris knocked Jack Dempsey out in a 3-round bout. Y At my exclamation, the man next me looked over his paper and smiled. ' Reading about the Independence men, eh? he laughed. I guess my old town's doing pretty well. Your old town? I asked, and then exclaimed, Why, Raymond Berg! What on earth! You're the last person I expected to see. How are things going? Making good? Pretty well, yes, I've made enough to retire from the undertaking busi- ness. Going to meet my wife in Paris and we're going to tour Europe. Paris, eh? I'm going there, too. At what hotel are you stopping? At the Evanston, for old times' sake. Did you know Fred Evans runs it? He has one of the most flourishing hotel businesses in New York. Same jolly old fellow. ' Q The rest of the trip was occupied in reminiscences and talk of old schoolmates. I found that Nora Witthar had been offered the chair of histo-ry at Bryn Mawr, and that Rollette Pruyn and Kenneth McNees were quite successful, running an American restaurant in Mexico City.. Ramona Grant, a Salvation Army lassie, was leading all her contemporaries in amount of contributions solicited. When we came to the aviation field at Manhattan, another surprise was in store for us. We discovered as the pilot discarded his helmet and goggles, that Joe Fitzmorris had driven us from G-San Francisco to New York! After greeting him hilariously we lost no time in proceeding on our way. I looked about with interest as we drove along the street.. Great naming lights above the Century proclaimed, J ack Hefter in 'The Loving Lady ! a William De Mille production with an all-star cast including Frances Hamilton, Jacqueline Logan, Theodore Roberts. I At the next corner we were delayed by a funeral procession. The blue- clad back of the trim uniformed traffic officer was a forbidding omen. As the procession passed, and he swung to give the signal, I caught a glimpse of his face. I grabbed Berg's arm. IllllllllllllllIlllllllllllllIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll' Eighty-Nine , grlunlffg J --- -- I-Ebbftfvsf ----'-- L Look, isn't that G. L. Compton? I exclaimed, pointing. 'tBy jove, it is! he gasped. t'Wave at him-yell! But the trafiic stream swept on, and we lost sight of our classmate. We looked at each other amazingly. The world is a small place, I said. When we came to the hotel, we obtained rooms, and then went down into the lobby. There were several people in an 'adjoining room and Berg said, There's to be a radio concert in a moment from London. Want to hear it? I assented, and accordingly we were soon ensconced in comfortable chairs. A The announcer began: Station W C O speaking. London, England, Conservatory of Music. The first number on the program this afternoon will be a duet by Misses Selma Ohmann and Alice Jacobs. They will sing selections from Faust. Our two old friends gave 'a delightful number, which was fol- lowed by a talk by Frieda Sturm on The natives in Madagascar. She told us of her work as missionary there, and we learned that her chief assistant was Mamie Etzenhouser whose medical and surgical work were invaluable. ' Elsie Evans then gave a dialogue. This was a real treat, as ,Elsie had won international recognition as an impersonator. Miss Pauline McGraw sang, Frances Prewitt accompanying her on the piano. After these surprises we were prepared for anything, and when one of the audience' came over and introduced himself as Arthur Brown, -we were only mildly surprised. I suggested a theater. We purchased tickets from the girl at the desk and went about eight-thirty. The first number was a sketch by Ammon Fry. I was truly astonished then, for, although I had heard that Ammon had caused the retirement of Mr. Shean, I did not believe that he had left the concert stage for the vaudeville permanently. The sketch was clever, and Ammon showed himself an expert comedian. But that he still possessed greatmusical talent was displayed when he accompanied two novelty dancers, upon the violin. The program informed us that these were Elizabeth Cave and Florence Eads. ' - After the show we went to the Ritz. The dinner was excellent and as we were finishing the second course, 'Berg leaned over and said, There's Cud- worth, the criminal lawyer, over there. He was made by Carnes in the New York Herald, which exploited his defense in the famous Gibson case. Robert Wing was judge in that case. He's associate justice in the'Supreme Court now. You remember him, don't you? I-certainly did, for Wing's judicial talent was first displayed in the mock trial at Chrisman, over which he presided. Sure enough, there was Cudworth across the room, a distinguished- looking gentleman with white hair. He was talking earnestly to a tall, slender, dark man whose back was toward us. ' ' Berg touched me on the arm and led the way across to Cudworth's table. He greeted us with a smile and a laugh that was like the old Brick. He rose and said, Mr. Berg, Mr. Smith, Mr. Elliott, Secretary of State. You know each other don't you? t Why, sure, exclaimed Elliott. We went to school together. Sit down with us! . . So we finished our evening with them, Elliott and Cudworth keeping the crowd lively with their jokes and puns. - This was surely a Class Dayifor Chrisman, Berg remarked, as we parted in the corridor.

'---'--- L The Four Bars Once upon a time I became enamored of a very beautiful young lady. .I thought of her constantly and was much at her side. Now, unfortunately, 111 her presence, instead of being able fluently to express my feelings, I was nervous and halting of speech, indeed, to such an alarming extent, that soon she began to think me dumb. You may imagine my horror and chagrin when I discovered this deplor- able condition. I sought out a place of solitude and spent many hours in the agony of thought. Finally I had a wonderful idea which restored all my wonted cheerfulness immediately. I thought, I will write and have pub- lished a song, of which the beautiful lady shall behthe theme. Thus will I kill three birds with one stone, I will make myself famous, I will receive a large sum of money, and I will force her to realize that I am not dumb. So with great speed I repaired to my piano and began to search for a melody which would be suitable to accompany an expression of her charms. , For a time I searched in vain. I was greatly handicapped because I realized that my song, to be published, must be of that delightful soul-satis- fying variety sometimes vulgarly termed jazz, and in this direction I seemed unable to progress. At length I suddenly discovered that I had unconsciously been playing something far different. I played it again and marveled at its beauty. Why, I cried, what have I here! It seemed almost so ideal as to be abstract 5 it would have been a sacrilege to have written it. I decided, however, that if I were to be so irreverent as to do so, I would then have four bars of music. There was something irresistible about them. They were only the simplest of four-part harmony, yet they seemed complete. They left nothing to be desired, they made me feel th-at they could not be altered nor improved, neither could they be expanded to greater length 5 they of them- selves seemed to express all fof joy or sorrow I had ever known. Until far in the night I played them and even in my dreams I heard them. When I awoke the next day they were still resounding throughout the caverns of my ears. Right valiantly did I strive to cast them from me and carry out the purpose I had in view, but with ill success. It was with a great deal of relief that I observed the approach of the time for the morning sym- phony rehearsal. I slipped into my chair with more of alacrity than I had shown for some time. I noted with pleasure the Brahms symphony, the Liszt symphonic poem, and other numbers on the stand. It was with a feeling akin to elation that I observed the conductor raise his baton for the start, for I believed that I would then be :relieved from the four bars. But alas! I could not escape. Everything we played bore a marked though intangible resemblance to them! I examined each page closely, and could see no similarity, yet the fact re- mained. And indeed, I did suffer greatly, and I did play rottenly, and I did receive personally many bawlings-out from the conductor. At the earliest pos- 'lllllllllllllllIllllIllllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIF Nzncty-Two ' ' glllllfp 'mmm SQL IIIIIIIIIL sible moment I deliberately snubbed all my friends and acquaintances and rushed home, only to pace madly about the room. I fully realized that I was in a fair way to become bereft of my senses. As I did not particularly desire this, I searched the recesses of my brain for a remedy. Now, it occurred to me that if I were to practice assiduously at scales, all thoughts of the four bars would of necessity be crowded out, so that thing I proceeded to do. Horror of horrors! Even the scales reminded me of the our bars. And I did tear my hair in agony. It was not exactly that they were unpleasant, rather, they were far too pleasant, I could not escape from their subtle charm, I was held more securely than if the bars had been of iron. Then did I bury my weary head in my hands and reason thusly: Why do these four bars so haunt me? Why does everthing I hear or play seem to resemble them? Do they contain the magic key to all other musical productions? Or is there something else? And are these four bars to drive me to Saint Joseph? But I could find no answer. Now it further happened that I was not the only one to view the young lady with amorous eyes. In fact, I had a rival. The speech of this rival iiowed like water over Niagara Falls before any turbines were installed 5 he was as bold as a traffic cop, and, as I often thought, he had more nerve than sense. Moreover, he traveled in a conveyance, which in truth made an im- pressive sound as it rolled down the street, while I was compelled to move a little more slowly on foot, or make use of a yellow cab. On accountof all these things I considered him a formidable antagonist, and viewed him with annoy- ance. r At about this time I conceived a desire to see 'a picture at the elegant Lewis Theater, and also to listen to the world-renowned Professor Van Dyke's Royal Orchestra. As is customary among the young sheiks of the populace, I desired the company of a peppy and interesting companion. Therefore, I called the beautiful young lady on the phone and extended to her my generous invi- tation. What was my surprise to hear her say that she had a date! At this, I was not only chagrined, but was also left in a very grave situation. I had already secured tickets at great trouble and expense and could not see them wasted, also, to hear the world-renowned Professor Van Dyke's Royal Orchestra was an opportunity not likely to occur again in a single lifetime, as the house was always sold out for many months to come. To solve this dilemma, I mag- nanimously extended the same generous invitation to a Happer. We arrived early, as we did not wish to miss anything, but, even as we entered, I saw the beautiful young lady, and with her, the rival! I stole glances at her out of the corner of my eye as the professor started to tune his violin. Then the orchestra began the overture. It could not be! I was losing my senses! The orchestra was playing the four bars! And it continued to play them throughout the evening, fast for the riot scenes, slow for the love scenes, but always the four bars. I am afraid the flapper thought me very rude. On the following day I was again returning from the symphony re- hearsal, at which my performance had been such as to bring upon me a fresh shower of abuses, and had just stepped from the yellow cab, when 'my violin was knocked from my hands and I was nearly run down by something which llllllllllllll' IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllllllllllllllllllllll 'llIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII Nin U t H- TI To C QXXIHZIXMQ J Q' r SQL in a singular way I was enabled to recognize as the conveyance, manned by the rival. The singular way referred to was that it crashed into a Ford lnnousine a short distance farther on. I first looked to my violin and found that it had miraculously escaped injury. Then did I hasten forward and berate the rival most soundly for his carelessness, as did also the chauffeur of the limousine. So in truth the air was greatly disturbed for a time, and when the smoke of battle cleared away, the rival was quite defeated, it having been proved con- clusively against him that he had been driving at the enormous rate of speed of nearly five miles per hour, which said speed was inevitably dangerous for one of his age, intelligence, and experience. So it was with a feeling of good- will towards all mankind that I watched him silently crank his conveyance and start to drive off, not without damages. But as it got welliunder way and the stately sounds of its locomotion grew more and more pronounced, I sud- denly turned pale. The conveyance was producing the four bars! For many days I suffered, until my cheeks were hollow, and my eyes burned with a strange luster. I had lost all my friends, I had constantly disgraced myself in the symphony, and I had not dared to think of again approaching the beautiful young lady, such was my condition. I knew that whatever had been her attitude towards me before, this would be construed as neglect, the rival would be constantly on handy and my chance would be lost. In a frenzy I summarily broke my symphony contract Qwhich could not add little to my disreputej and started totravel, hoping to find relief. And if I traveled by train, the wheels tapped out the four bars upon the rails, if I traveled by water, the swish of the waves constantly reminded me of my captivity to the four bars. Far and wide I roamed, but of relief I found none. At last, in utter despair, I decided to return once more to the beautiful young lady, admit that I was dumb, and if she remained unmoved, to prepare to die. Immediately upon my making this decision, a very strange thing hap- pened. It seemed that my eyes were opened for the first time, and I saw how foolish I had been. I had started to write a melody concerning the young lady. This I had done perfectly, and I hadlnever realized it until this moment! I wanted to kick myself 5 to call myself an idiot, to bang my head against the side of the slow-moving car. I wanted to get out and run to get there faster, I wanted to shout for joy. True, I could still hear the four bars, but how different they seemed! I no longer wished togforget them, I longed only to pour them into her ears. - The moment the train arrived, I rushed with long strides through a light, chilly rain-towards her home. But when I reached it I hesitated. After all, I did not know how she would receive me. I started to advance to the door, but I found I could not. Neither could I leave, but must stand as though rooted to the ground and curse myself for a coward. Evening had fallen. The streetswere dark and deserted. Even the street light on the corner seemed lonely through the mist. And as I shivered in my wretchedness, there was gradually borne to my ears a faint sound. What? Was this too but fantasy? I crept closer and listened. No, there was no mistake. For the first time I felt I could trust to my senses. I turned a glowing face heaven- ward in pure joy. It was the four bcws.
