Delusions' of Grandeur Open River LD MISS EVEN-,climbed -slowly up the cracking steps of her tenement house. She, the once famous Lillian Even, had been the toast of New York and Paris and in her days a wonderful actress. Up the stairs she trudged to dream of the tatters of her career. Settling down in a shabby old morris chair she let her mind wander.-Tonight was the preview of her latest show. People were lingering in the lobby, the women in orchids and magnificent furs, the men trim in their dress clothes. The music during intermission finished and the curtain went up on the third act. The actors went through their parts, but none stood out as well as she. The curtain fell and with it a thunder of applause. 4 , 6 H Friends went back stage and with urgent con- gratulations practically carried her out to a wait' ing carriage and on to the latest club. The play was in an uproar. Was not Lillian Even there? She was dancing faster and faster and faster. With this Miss, Even got up and whirled madly around the room with her image ined gown around her. Faster, faster, faster. The pain! That old familiar pain tugging at her breast. Her trembling old hands clutched at it holding it back. Swifter and swifter she whirled. Slowly she sank dead. A picture of forgotten grandeur. LEoNA WRIGHT Achievement If we had power to renew, When boyhood fades, the morning dew Which keeps the bud of youth so fresh. Cleansing the spirit and the flesh, If smiles prevailed and never tears Dimmed the procession of the years, We could not reach, unchecked by strife. , The smallest mountain peak of' life. NICKEY NICHOLS Grade 9 wi OATS! Boats going up the river and boats going down the river. From childhood days Larry Tailor had seen these tramp steamers come and go in the open river. Most of his spare time was spent along the waterfront securf ing nautical knowledge. You would often see Larry rowing a boat or swimming, but most of his spare time was spent watching the steam' ers pass by his town. The figure of this young lad could be seen many times at night in the moonlight as though he 'were a part of the open river. The large steamship would come down the river past Larry's quiet town, around the bend in the channel, fading into infinity as they con' tinued the next hundred miles of river before venturing into the perils of the deep. Larry the open great ad' often dreamed of the ports beyond river and wanted to experience this venture. Could it be Singapore or Shanghai that the very vessel he was looking at might make its next port? The sea often holds its secrets thus that would never be disclosed. Dreams sometimes appear to youth and Larry was no exception to this rule. His dream and ambition was to follow the paths of the sea into foreign lands, working to an officer's position on a vessel, and returning home in his old age to tell of it. The Tailor family moved to a little town in western Pennsylvania in the Morgabella Valley while Larry was still a sophomore in high school. His father worked at a steel mill next to the Morgabella river. This stream was only fifty yards wide and navigated by flat coal barges. These barges had peculiar paddle wheels in the back and sometimes on the sides. They received a cargo of steel or coal and transported it to nearby- towns along the river. Larry's intercst was not subjected to these crafts and this place was hundreds of miles away back in the open river where the tramp steamers navigated into the freedom of the seas past his beautiful hometown. As Larry Tailor graduated from high school anything but gloom presented itself. He had tried ever so hard but work on a tramp steam- ers could not be obtained by an inexperienced worker. Then, with his father's influence, fContinued on next pagej
