AST YEAR the Class of 192-l published the first Senior Annual of the Wilmington High School. Because the Class of 1925 has con- sidered the precedent Worthy of maintenance and conducive to the Welfare of the School, it has produced the Blue Chick. It is hoped that succeeding classes will continue this cus- tom, and that subsequent Year Books, avoid- ing the faults of their predecessors, Will attain an enviable degree of perfection. The Class of 1925 extends sincere appreciation to the members of the faculty Who have sponsored the publication of this book 2 2 2 Qs 3 O u X-1 fx A luv ' ' ' lf? - 6 C QC-'Eff ' C- G XG?'C5??9.N o ...

Theilittle .town of 1 ' f Greenwich, New Jersey, was Christmassy in aspect and its mam street, King, lay white and deserted save for two young women who came hurrying along in opposite directions, their heads huddled under um- brellas. They were bound to meet. Nearer and nearer they drew until the inevitable happened. The umbrellas clashed and down went the women. Of all the stupid things, came from one feminine throat. Really it wasn't my fault, in another exasperated tone. 1 -I 6 ix Soon two heads emerged' from the umbrellas and two pairs of eyes stared at each other. Why why er could it bei- pondered one. Lora Bellslaw, as I'm alive! shrieked the other. Lora, surely you haven't forgotten me, Ann, your pal, in the good old days of the Wilmington High School. Don't say you've forgotten NIE! Oh, calamities l l l 1 Ann, Ann Ritzley! is it really you or am I dreaming? the other said in a dazed voice as she passed a hand across her eyes. Yes, it's me fforgetting all about grammarj and you're not dreaming. Come, get up from that wet snow before you catch your death of cold and come home with me where we can have a nice cup of hot tea and incidentally a nice long confabf' Yes, Ann, now I know it's really you. Soon the two women were comfortably ensconced on a sofa in the home of Nliss Ritzley, history teacher in Jefferson High School, Greenwich, New Jersey. After the tea was served the tongues began to wag and as is sure to happen when every other topic of conversation is exhausted, their thoughts turned back to the days of their high school career. Y Say, Ann, began Lora, do you remember the day we first entered High School ? YVill I ever forget it? How it rained and how we were herded in like a flock of sheep, about three hundred children from the various grammar schools ? Yes, and how the AI girls told us about the teachers who flunked everybody and how it was just our luck to get those very ones! i Yes, and when we started to go to classes, all the shouts of 'greenies' and 'where's your nurse P' that followed us. We didn't have any student reserves to look after us, in an aggrieved tone. We soon got over that though when the acting principal called us into the auditorium and made us welcome to the school, said Lora in a soothing tone. YY But didn't they wish the 90 per cent average on us the very next term? There, there, Ann. What's the matter with you this afternoon? Cheer up, you know we had the elective system to make up for it. So we did, and I promise I won't grouch any more. Here the two young women fell into a thoughtful mood and the room was quiet save for the crackling of the wood on the fireplace. At last with a sigh Lora broke it as she said: IIIN - . Jai? 17 ' 5:7-Z ...vgygmrcflryydfdx at G 4 CJ f-x 0 I 6 BLUE CHICK i 'C'C i'l gf-'3.,,... Ann, it's been a good many years since then, but I'1l never forget the thrill I had when I became a sophomore and was moved from the Annex to the lVIain Build- ing. lVIy, weren't we the high and mighty ones? Well, you might have thought you were, but what happened to me? VVhy as soon as I stepped out of the door feeling as swelled as puffed rice, who should pass but some smart aleck, and it's been my private opinion that he was a freshie, point his derisive finger at me and shout 'freshman' at the top of his lungs. I can tell you 1 didn't like that very much, heatedly replied Ann. Now, Ann, in a warning tone from Lora, what about that little promise you just made me. l declare if you don't brighten up, l'm going homef' NVith this she began looking around for her hat and gloves, but Ann swooped upon her and cried, l'll be good, teacher, Illl be good. Q All right, see that you are. True to her word this time, Ann cheered up and her tongue began to wag busily and those who are acquainted with her know just what that means. The air became vibrant with the questions and answers hurtling through it and all that was heard was: Say, Lora, do you remember that time when we were sophomores and scarlet fever broke out and we didn't have school for over a month F I should say I do, but talking about our sophomore year do you remember that time in Caesar class while some poor girl was struggling along and almost letting Caesar get the best of her, suddenly the superintendent walked in ?,' UI guess l'm not likely to forget anything like that and to this day I still wonder how I escaped being called on to recite, for you know my luck. Oh the trials and tribulations of Caesar. Here she cast both hands and eyes heavenward. Just imagine one dead man almost causing the despair and death of so many innocent students. I daresay even today he is doing his best to get rid of some future citizens. This was delivered with an accompaniment of sighs from both the young women. And then we were Juniors! Then's when our class began to take on some im- portance for sure. We weren't merely members of the VVil1nington High School, we were Juniors, Undergraduates! No more snubs or patronizing glances for'us. We, if you please, were the ones to be condescending now. It was our turn to get even. I'11 say it was, said Lora, but WE were beyond such petty and mean tricks. It was our duty to uphold the dignity of the school, in a lofty tone. Huh, you're a nice one to talk about dignity, but I'll say this much for you, you always were more dignified than I was or ever will be, I suppose. Oh, Ann, do be quiet for a few minutes. I want to ask you a question. VVasn't it in our Junior year that the Traffic Squad was organized ? Now that you mention it, I think it was. Didn't the freshies have it Fine then? They didn't have to go chasing around the two buildings like we did before we found the room we wanted. Oh well you know the saying, 'The old order changethf I wouldn't be surprised to hear some one tell me the Seniors were kow-towing to the freshiesf' Now, Ann, you know. You don't suppose any such thing. VVhy it would be too terrible. Let me ask you something else. Don't you remember how a few people of our class began to stand out from the others as leaders, some in athletics, others in dramatics and such things. cCDllfil11lL'd on Page 167, X724 D I A fx 3 gg, U J .,:iNx?QJ 7Uw.D-u .- - LQ 18 5124 --- -vff'fM?3KvSi V gif' G --l BLUE CI-IICIK C-- BEULAH JEANETTE ALLEN A chig of chance weigheth more than a pound of wztf' I 0 , ' Commerce Club, Athletic Association. u s Q2 XJ 'I' .f , EVELYN ANGELETTI L -Y- 'jE .P I slept and dreamed that life was beauty, I woke and found that life was duty.

RESHNIAN YEAR, September 1921-September 1922. At last the great ,gq N' day has come! How we have waited for this eventful day! A wee ii bit awe struck we ventured up the steps and into great silent halls to the auditorium where we were registered. lVIy how proud we were to really . belong to VVilmington High School! 5420? During our first few weeks we were busy getting acquainted with our teachers and the new principal, Mr. Coxe. 'lVIany unnecessary Steps were taken the first week. Lost sheep were never more lost than we. A Our wandering was due to the sorrowful fact that many of the teachers were new and understood no more about the building than we. To add to this calamity we daily had to meet the opposing forces of Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors, who did not miss the opportunity to yell Freshie. Oh! the mortificationl Such troubles cannot always last even for the most stupid persons, and finally we were able to find our classrooms without the aid of our elders. Itiseems that life must have some trials and tribulations in order to be interesting. Just when we thought we were settled some mighty power shattered our peaceful ex- istence by changing the eighty-five percent exemption average to ninety percent, but this burden was lightened by the elective system by which we could at least choose our own road to death. Our first year was well directed by our chosen ofhcers. The class showed their wisdom by electing Wainwright Dawson, Presidentg Frances Samuel, Vice-President, Eleanor Edge, Secretaryg and Samuel Ford, Treasurer, the first term. . I The second term was kept alive by the following officers: Oliver Giles, Virginia Arnold, Virginia Turner, and Hugh Holt. Thus guided, and with the co-operation of each member of the class we were not long in coming into prominence and showing our teachers that some day we would inscribe our names on the annals of High School. , SOPHOMORE YEAR, SEPTEMBER 1922-SEPTEMBER 1923 One year gone, and with it has flown the Freshmen hardships. We now become personages of some notice as we travel through the halls. Indeed our thoughts were centered on our own importance. lt seems that this year we were all busy working, so much so that we've had l-ittle time for social activities. We were somewhat hin- dered by the scarlet fever epidemic, which forced us to lose much time and made it ' N necessary for us to concentrate our thoughts on lessons for the first semester. ' ' 1 However, we did enjoy one memorable day. The Sophomores took charge of the i ' Decoration Day program. Every one agreed that the Auditorium was very picturesque. ' The platform looked a garden of daisies and other flowers. This first participation in school activities proved to be a wonderful success and seemed to bc one point scored 6 for the Sophomore Class. A new feature was introduced this term, the Student Coun- eil. This organization had for its purpose the promotion of the interest of pupils in the welfare and progress of the school. In this, we took a large part. 1 . - :JJ -QL, - - DYE as Eff -- - JA 1 ,xffvfbiwb--ff -X-9 - -- ,E12L1llEL,,,- C..ITI.I.C-Kz,.-.-f ' L 1-' I D Q L ,-X n O 6 JUNIOR YEAR, SEPTEMBER 1923-SEPTEMBER 1924 Oh, Juniors! The year was anticipated with much pleasure. Our social functions began in full array. Thanksgiving Day was the proudest day we had ex- perienced in our High School career. The Seniors rose, while we, wearing white chrysanthemums, marched down the aisle of the Auditorium. The whole program was rendered by the Junior Class. An attractive play, which portrayed The First Thanksgiving Dayf' was presented. This day will certainly be remembered by each member of the class as long as he remembers his high school days. Another very important event was our Junior Prom. The gymnasium was bright with lights and decorations. Everyone seemed to catch the spirit of joyousness and gayety which was breathed out by the dancers. This year an aid to puzzled Freshmen and an honorable way for student govern- ment was organized when the Traldic Squad came into existence. This worthy body has ever since carried out its plans with the utmost sincerity of purpose. The members have co-operated splendidly with all other organizations in endeavoring to systematize the school. Perhaps the most important feature of this year was the introduction of a chap- ter of the National Honor Society. A goodly number of our class was elected to this society. The principles of this society, which were inculcated in every member of our class, if put into practice, would tend to elevate the standards of High School. SENIGR YEAR, SEPTEMBER, 1924-SEPTEMBER, 1925 How time dies! The go-al for which we have been striving is almost reached. Our four years are fast coming to a close, many hearts look sorrowfully toward gradu- tion. Such a busy year! Work, work, work! Working all the time yet hardly completing the necessary lessons! Annuals, Whisps, Senior Essays, Examinations- and forever on! The Christmas Play which was produced by Seniors was a very 'clever represen- tation of a Toy Shopf' Reports traveled around school that the Senior girls, dressed as dolls, surely were not much older than the parts they acted. The play was declared to be the best Christmas play ever produced in High School. An impressive installation of the ofiicers of the Classes and of the ofiicers and members 'of the Honor Society, Traffic Squad, Friendship Club, Hi-Y Club, Girls Advisory Council, and the Quannacut Club was held in llarch. This was an experi- ment which proved extremely successful. So far the Senior Reception for parents has been the chief event of the year. The teachers, parents, and pupils, met together and passed an extremely enjoyableveve- ning. A program in the auditorium was a pleasing way to begin the entertainment, after this there was a general social time 'while refreshments were served in the cafeteria. ' ivluch excitement was created and lasted for many days when the rings and pins finally came, after we had waited impatiently for weeks. Hurrah! We are going to have a Senior Prom',, which we hope will be an in- teresting and jolly event. VVe are all going to do our best to have a good time. There has been great interest shown in our Senior Play, Beau Brummelf' The- final castwas selected after many try-outs. The Grand Finale! After this, all will be over. Commencement is always a happy time, but cannot help but be overshadowed by the sadness of leaving school. We are all sorry to part from our friends and we Wishj all the best opportunities and great- est success possible. - i . LOUISE BOOKER. 3. , M , .4 ltr.

E'en though we stray from thy dear halls, And lose thy influence noble, pure, The riches thou to us hast giv'n Shall ever in our hearts endure. , Ne'er, ne'er shall we forget thy name, Whatever be the lot we see, Asrmany years as life shall last, We still shall love and honor thee. We muse, we dream, our fancies roam, A host of doubting fears distress, Have we in all our past four years Gained every virtue we'd possess? Ah, no, our gift to thee is small!

At this rate, then, he figures that 1200 stepsare negotiated in a week, 24,000 in a term, and during his three CU years at this school, he estimates that he has climbed 144,000 steps. Each step is six inches high, thus he makes a total of 78,000 feet or 14.8 miles in three years. Undoubtedly, there is much promising material among the Juniors, even among the officers.

' i S NT lk.-'fi third and fourth years. we :af It is conceded by men of erudition that no subject lends more to the general culture of a man than Latin. A knowledge of Latin is es- sential to a good education. Latin is far-reaching in its effect. A large percentage of the words in the Iingllish language are derived from the Latin. lt is an important factor in the nomenclature of all sciences. A knowledge of its grammar and inllections provides one a basis for the study of other languages. Finally, Latin stimulates an interest in the customs and history of the people of the most powerful and majestic empire the world has ever known, Rome the Eternal. The third year of Latin consists in the study of Cicero and his orations. With the exception of Demosthenes, Cicero was the greatest orator of all time. Students of Cicero read his orations against Cataline, the Conspirator. These orations are as in- teresting as a novel. There is a definite plot. One is often tempted to translate ahead of assignments, to discover how Cicero deals with the insidious plots of the treacherous Cataline. The period of Cicero was very full of excitement and interest. It ended in the overthrow of the Republic and the establishment of the Empire. After one has studied Cicero's orations against the Catalinarian conspirators, and on behalf of the poet Archias, he feels a personal interest and admiration for the man, and reads with much sorrow about the malicious and cruel pursuit and the beheading of the aged Cicero by the forces of Antony. Vergil is the crowning glory of a four-year Latin course. The Aeneidos, or iiWHHdCfII1gS of Aeneas, is read. Juno, stung by the offense of a Trojan, determines to take revenge on Troy. To do this, she enlists the support of the Olympian dieties, with the exception of Venus, the mother of Aeneas, a Trojan hero. Aeneas awakes one night to find Troy in flames, and at the mercy of the Greeks. He, with a band of companions, sets sail for Italy, upon the advice of the gods. The Trojan fleet is tossed by the wrath of Juno on the shores of Dido's kingdom, in northern Africa. Dido falls in love with Aeneas. When he leaves her, she commits suicide. This episode is undoubtedly the most famous love story of all literature. Finally, after a journey through the underworld, and after many wars, Aeneas achieves his goal, and is trans- lated to the gods. - Vergil's meter, choice of words, and alliterative lines cannot fail to stir up appre- ciation. His knowledge of human nature, of philosophy and of natural history, as revealed in the Aeneid, is astonishing. V The fourth year is completed by a reading of Ovid. Ovid is light-hearted, optimis- tic and may be read almost at sight. His lVIetamorphoses, in themselves afford one a very good knowledge of ancient mythology. Few who have taken four years of Latin have regretted it. Latin is one of the most enjoyable courses one could take, and we sincerely hope that the members of the Class of 1925 will unhesitatingly recommend four years of Latin to any one who might ask their advice on the matter. 3 . fx 2, , J 1:20 - Q - Bi? 88 ---ii?Q - - - 0 C..a'Q JSR' gzffcslqwfw--Q l iI5LQ1lE AQTHLCAK.- 1'--wwf Q mg 9 x I xy fx Q The Last Court Plvlicre is thai court Wihosc jllllylllfllf of lllllllkilld, Can nmttrfr mach? 1 5 the last day of June broke bright and clear over the eastern horizon of through the tiny opening in the cell wall of the county jail. All was deathly quiet within and without save the occasional rumbling in the N distance of some old wajgon which faded off into silence again as Y 5 Q abruptly as it had come from it. Fairfield slept late this morning, a habit l'an'held, a slender ray of its Auroral splendor thrust itself boldly if Q that seems to be chronic with small country towns. There was one man though to whom sleep held out no rest nor any hope. He sat alone, on the hardwood bench of his cell, his head buried in his cold and trembling hands. I-le had looked up slowly and half frightened as the sunlight steadily crept into the gloom and chill of his narrow quarters. It sent a little chill running down his spine-a little ache to his heart-a little touch of horror to his brain. His head throbbed and ached till it seemed he would go mad. But no-there still was hope. This might not be his last sunrise-this might not be his last day of life. Paul sprang to his feet and jumping upon a little three-legged stool in the corner which also served as a table, pressed his face against tl1e narrow window in the wall. Beyond lay the low rolling foot hills. A mantle of deep rich green had settled on all the country-side, studded as it seemed only here and there by some blossoming or- chard of apple or peach, 01' some broad expanse of clover and daisy. A light spring dew lay sparkling on everything giving that touch of freshness and beauty that brings to us each time the world as if new born, though full grown with all the attributes and softness of time. As Paul saw all these things-life seemed dear, dearer it seemed than ever before. A tear rolled down his fevered cheek and a little sigh swelled at his breast. There lay the world of freedom-of happiness, before his very eyes-it was his-why should he be caged here like a captured bird waiting to-to die-to suffer at the hands of his own mankind? Had it not all been his once-but then-the jury had said, 'fGuilty! How he hated that word. He knew he was innocent and then they called him Guilty! He remembered-the judge had said, The circumstances are aceusive- they had said he must die-today, yes, today was the day. Oh -here he burst out fran- tically, I didn't do it-I didn't do it-I tell you-I did not kill him--oh, why doesn't someone believe me-oh, God-God--1 He threw himself on his cot sobbing like a little child and muttering half audibly, VVhere is God-can there be a God, can there be a God-? At promptly nine o'clock as had been the habit for the past several days, the war- den marched methodically down the resounding corridor to Paulis cell, whereupon open- ing the iron door with his ponderous key, he just as methodically and without a word, pushed in a tray lightly laden with the usual black coffee and stale bread. On this particular morning, however, Father Dolan arrived simultaneously with the morning meal. It had been his habit usually to stop in about two in the after- noon-but today at two in the afternoon, it was to be over-that was the hour that Paul was to hang by the neck until deadl'--as the court had decreed, unless-yes, ' fC0l1fiI11lPd on Page 1797 Q1 X' 0 O S.

'4 P Q x.x fx The Total Solar Eclipse of January, 1925 I gaveia sigh of relief as our train pulled out of the Grand Central Ter- 11 , 45 and clear, in spite of adverse predictions. There, hanging low in the east, shone the solar disc, sullen and red through the misty veil of New York's atmosphere. It was intensely cold. To view the partial phases W has I J lhsghgfl . . . . P P 3u5iLQhFT 671- X J' minal, for the morning of the total eclipse of the sun had dawned bright of the eclipse from the warm interior of the car as we sped northward into the area of totality was ideal. We watched eagerly through our smoked glass plates. A slight depression on the northeastern limb of the sun marked the beginning of the celestial drama. Slowly, almost imperceptibly the moon crept over the radiant face of day. By the time we reached our destination, Tarrytown, only a narrow crescent remained of the sun. The light had begun to fail. Quickly I crossed the little bridge that traverses the railroad tracks, near the station, and walked out upon the ice of the river. The picturesque Highlands of the Hudson, clad with evergreens, rose in the west. l Soon a silvery dusk fell upon the earth. Shadows assumed fantastic edgings and unearthly proportions. An atmosphere of mystery and uneasiness pzrvaded everything under the influence of the unusual darkness. The light was not the light of sunset, nor of dawn. It was weird and ghostlike, a twilight that seemed to portend a cataclysmatic evil. ln the midst of day, the sun, source of all the attributes of life was failing, dying! It grew darker and darker. The temperature fell, the biting coldness stung to the bone. Quivering rows of spectral shadows crept everywhere. The distant hills were veiled with hues of violet and gold. A mist of pale colors gathered in the south- west. Three planets-lvlercury, Jupiter and Venus-glowed softly in the heavens. A sudden darkening in the west! With an awe inspiring sweep, the great shadow of the moon had engulfed the earth. The dusk of the gods had come! A Hash as of molten metal leaped from the moon's black rim! Then, sublime and resplendent, Hared the dazzling majesty of the solar coronal It crowned the awful blackness of the lunar orb with a silvery halo. With high-powered binoculars two faint scarlet prominences could be discerned on the lower limb of the sun, swirling tongues of incandescent hy- drogen, calcium and helium vapors, which rose thousands of miles into space. Noth- ing was heard through the still and clear air but the deliberate counting off of seconds, and a clicking of instruments, accompanied by Hashings of magnesium from an adjacent group of astronomers. The corona, pure and serene, gleamed for sixty-four seconds. With a Hash, it vanished. The great shadow swept away. Again, for a few brief moments the ghostly shadow bands crept over the snow. The stars melted into the growing light. The moon began its slow and stately retrogression. At half past tcn the partial phase ended. The eclipse belonged to the past. CHARLES A.

The white-robcd priests bowed low in adoration. The dwarf pines whispered softly as he passed, and the goldhsh hid be- Buddha was walking in the garden. The world was at peace. But as 5:1 'Q If a neath the lily leaves. The very flowers bowed low their brilliant heads. he passed within the temple he heard a soft rustle in the garden just behind. Turning, he saw a most bewildering sight. A golden saisei-rose had dared to open, dared to unfold its lustrous petals in the presence of Buddha! The petals of every flower in that garden shook with suppressed excitement, trembled with fear. And Buddha waxed angry. But seeing the golden beauty try to reclose its heavy petals, he became compassionate and said: O beauteous flower of heaven, thou hast a bravery few men possess. I now give thee life immortal 'until in thy wanderings over the face of the earth thou dost meet one braver than thyself. And Buddha passed on into the temple, followed by his priests, and, as the last priest turned to close the great bronze door, he looked. And lo, the rose was gone! And many later, saw the rose-great generals going forward to do battle, proud mothers dying for their own, and even once a beggar, who died to save another. But none were brave enough. The rose passed on. Beneath a great overhanging crag, with a shining pool of purple iris before it, was a temple. And the name-The House Built in the Sky. Within the temple was a shrine, without, a garden. And the guardian of it all was a pale priest with a worn face, the face of a student and a thinker. All day long he walked or sat in the gardeng prayed or read one of the many volumes that he treasured as his own. As a youth he had heard the legend of the Rose of Gold, had heard and marvelled. The tale lingered in his mind and became his only thought. And one day he conceived the idea of becoming a priest, a follower of Buddha. T While he studied he received a humble pittance from the government, enough to buy the books that he desired, books telling of the wanderings of the Rose. VVhen he had finished his studies he received his flrst duty, that of acolyte, in this little temple. Later he became a priest and was happy. The Great Lord Buddha had lived, and prayed, and held his court, in the very room in which he prayed. And it was commonly believed that the Golden Rose had grown in this very garden in which he walked. At one time he had gladly extended hospitality to guests and par- ties of tourists, for the money that they brought. lt was a poor little temple. But now he had in his library every book ever written upon the wanderings of the Rose, and he avoided guests or strangers. At dawn he would rise and ring the great bronze bell that hung near the gate. 'X He grew all that he needed, even to a few tea bushes. Therefore he had to work ' part of the morning. Before noon, according to the old rule, he ate a little rice, fruit, : or vegetables, never meat, and only once a day. ,Aside from this he had only one other duty, that ofwatching and tending the great golden statue of the Lord Buddha which was in the shrine. Aside from this he spent the day in reading, and praying, reading ' of the Golden Rose. There is a definite feeling associated with every temple of every faith. That of this House Built in the Sky was one of serenity-utter serenity. But beneath this 3 . g 1- , 1 J le. - - - lift?

All summer long he stayed up in the temple among the books and flowersg but, when the flowers and the butterflies, which are in reality flowers that have lost their roots, had fled and dancing white feathers hid the valley, he went down into the great world. Each year he hired a substitute to come up from the valley and remain in the temple for the winter months, during which neither tourist nor visitor dared try to ascend the mountain. The last day he would prepare a great feast and take it before the massive golden statue of Buddha with its mysterious smile, praying and fasting all day long. At sunset he bade his fellow priest good-bye and started on for his search, the search for the Golden Rose! This was his sixteenth journey, and, as he walked down the path of flat stones he turned for a last glimpse of the statue. Only a faint glint of gold could be seen. It reminded him of the Rose. He smiled and hurried on. As he passed the great embossed bronze bell, the wind blew through it, and it gently moaned a cry of peace and con- tentment. He crossed and raised the huge hammer, sending a mighty peal across the valley, perhaps to announce his coming. Then he passed on through the spacious eaved gateway with its corners curved up to send the demons spinning into the air when they attempted to perch. Down, down, down, into the world and to the Rose, he went. He questioned many. Some smiled, but others understood. Once he saw it in a shop, only to have it disappear. Again he heard of it in a nearby town, only again to be deceived. At last the winter was nearly over. He must return to his temple on the mountain! But suddenly news came to him of the Rose, positive news! A mendicant priest had seen it in Tibet! Should he go or return to the temple? He battled all night long under the silent heavens, and at dawn set out for Tibet. He walked many, many miles and reached at last the town of his destination. He was exhausted and could not find a lodging. The town was strange, but at last he found the woman who had the Rose. It had again disappeared! Disconsolate, he set out for the temple. His time was short, and it was neces- sary to hasten. His substitute had been hired for only two days longer, and he yet had many miles to go. He was set upon by bandits in a mountain pass and left as dead. He was delayed a whole month before he finally reached the little village beneath the temple. There he was told that he had been given up as lost by his fellow priest, who had locked the great temple gate and departed two weeks before. In his pocket the weary traveler had only three 'fyen , enough to buy food to place before the golden statue on the mountain top. No offering had been made for two weeks to the Great Lord Buddha. As he climbed the hill, deep in the pine, maple and cryptomeria of early spring he decided never again to go out in search of the Rose. His duty was above, in the temple. Even now he feared the wrath of the God. He hurried on and on, up and up, between tree trunks, like columns in the aisle of a church. It began to snow a little, the fine beautiful snow of a Japanese print. Then it began to snow steadily, a snow that,,penetrated through his thin cloak and reminded him of his great hunger. He had,not eaten for five days, nor did he think to eat of the meagre supply upon his back. places steps were missing, and he had to use his hands, clutching, clawing, blinded by the snow. For the first time he realized the significance of the grave-stones that climbed up with him. The pack of food grew heavy, and he sat down upon the fC071tfll1lL'd on Page 189, S IL - -- iii 94, will JS' fx-Rf MM DRHSDH fi Q R 4 i 4 C 96 Ki: ,,4 Rixljlffngh fy f D -I-A DJ! 13 F I X29 12--v 5 'mn-,.- Af .

The Dramatic Club decided to give one-act plays monthly under student ,direc- Q tion. The purpose of these productions is to aid the students in ways other than acting, that is to develop directors-people whose executive powers would be utilized to the greatest extent. Aside from this committees on production-scenery, costume, property il and lighting, are under no faculty supervision and therefore develop a sense of re- sponsibility in the chairmen. i., Only two one-act plays were given this term because of the abundance of extra- l curricular activities. The first one, 'lThe Ghost Storyu, by Booth Tarkington, was , directed by Frances Samuel. It has been repeated several times. -The second one, 'Op l o' my Thumb, a play in which llaud Adams had starred, was directed by Janet , Brady. , - y The annual play was Peg ol My Heart , by J. Hartly lllanners. The appeal l of the play is universal. the appeal of the whimsical and natural. In the hands of the F fl Dramatic Club cast it did not suiler. , , .

For a long time a club of tlus kind has been ,in-' . . . . . 'Q 4, needed in this school, with the purpose of furthering the study and en- joyment of Shakcspearffs life and works. :fp The club at the second meeting, under the direction of Bliss Helen Mg M7711 I .guy Groves and lXfIiss Ruth E.

So far Shakespeare's early life has been discussed. llleetings are planned in the future to study the manner of Shakespeards dealing with plot, setting and characters, and later to discuss Such of Shakespeareis plays as Ullflidsummer Night's Dream, Otthello, King John. Scenes are to be acted from each play. fx The club intends to dramatize one of Shakespcare's best plays in the A'High School fx Auditorium in the near future. A big social event is also planned by the club for , 1 some time in June. The advisors and members of the club are hoping to get a good 1 Q precedent and to give this club a permanent position in the school.

NIISS LYNAM Two years ago, the VVilmington High School extended to its students the privil- egc of election to membership in the National Honor Society of Secondary Schools, by organizing a local chapter. No honor, conferred by the Faculty upon the students, exceeds that represented by this society, which recognizes the four cardinal principles- Scholarship, Character, Leadership, and Service. During the -two years of the existence of the Honor Society in Wiliiiington High School, the members have endeavored to hold before the whole student body such motives as shall encourage lower classmen to cultivate scholarly habits, noble character, valuable service, and worthy leadership. In its various activities, the society has made creditable progress in advancing the welfare of the Wilmington High School in every possible way.

NE of the oldest clubs in the.Wilmington' School is Le Cercle Fran- cais which has been in existence for about six years. The first club was fs probably the most successful one we have ever had because the group was li small enough to meet at the homes of the membersg each one felt a re- , sponsibility for the work of the society. The unusual ability and person- ., 'Q,1 ality of the president, Hugh Rennie, contributed much to this success. 'N The purpose of the club from the very beginning has been to give f. . the pupil a greater opportunity for conversational French than is possible in the reci- . 1 tation period, to afford some training in parliamentary expressions, to develop fluency 2 by means of plays and dialogues and to give additional information concerning the French people and their customs. Throughout the year, the program committee has arranged many interesting pro- 5 grams including various short plays and sketches presented by the members, a talk on .- the Olympic games by Mr. Gardner and several musical selections, which have added much to the pleasure of the meetings. 3 5 - K J!! leo ' ' - iff? 115 gf -- .

We won four games, lost four, and tied one. In the first game of the season the Cherry and White gladiators, after a hard fight, took the Coates- ville tribe into camp with the score 6-O. The following week we trod roughshod over the Laurelites, and sent them back 'ome, with a score . Q . :Zeit IT, -j'il'f tag of 31-6. Since Coach Donalson was absent from this game his as- sistant, lllr. Hale, took charge. Coach Donalson appeared the follow- ing hlonday to tune us up for the Northeast High of Philadelphia. October eighteenth at eight o'clock, the football squad started out on a one hun- dred and fifty-mile journey to Easton, Pennsylvania. VVe arrived in time for dinner, lost the game, by a score of 74-0, and came back home. The following week we jour- neyed to Glen-Nor. Here the scorekeepers, when the final whistle blew, found the score balancing even, O-O. November first, a daylthat should never be forgotten by any High School student. The Cherry and WVhite defeated the Yellow and Gray at Harlan field by a 2-0 score in one of the most thrilling and exciting games of the season. The following week the boys worked night and day with the thought of taking their age old rival-Chester --into camp. NVhen Saturday evening rolled around they found themselves six points behind the enemy. Saturday, November fifteenth, marked the first snow of the season. The wind, rain, snow and slush did not stop the VV. H. S. gladiators from sending Southern High School of Philadelphia home on the short end of a 20-O score. Thanksgiving-last game for a number of fellows-everybody full of pep and rarin' to go, but not raring quite so hard as Jenkintown. VVe ate roast turkey with a 9-O score staring us in the face. Great credit is due to Coach J. Harmer Donalson, Assistant Coach Ernest Hale, and Doctor Roger Gregory, the team physician. -Manager Edgar Reese, '25.

The Highlets met some of X,-gg If the best high school teams in this section and succeeded in winning thir- iigehji teen games out of eighteen starts. This record is one of which the Cherry and NVhite rootcrs need not be ashamed. The class of the schedule and the class of the team was indicated by the fact that among the opponents of the Cherry and WVhite were: Camden High, Coatesville High, three of the fast Philadelphia combinations, in addition to two games with Chester, Salesianum and Friends School. Two of the really important games were lost and the victory fell in the hands of Salesianum. This is no indication whatever for both games were battles of speed and rivalry. Our two defeats over Chester, our traditional rival, made our season all the more successful. The team from up the river has been falling into our hands for the last few seasons. As a concluding number, our team scored decisive victories over Friends School in both games. The victories over such teams as Chester, Germantown, Friends, Glen-Nor and Coatesville show the strength of our team. Due to the fact that it was not a veteran quintet the success of the season is due to our coach, Fred Brown, who deserves and must come in for a sha1'e of tribute, therefore, let us extend our felicitations to the coach. Prospects looked very promising at the beginning of the season because we had three letter men back from the previous season--Johnny LeCarpentier, VValt Green and Babe Scott. Witll Species LeCarpentier acting as captain. Prospects were stimulated throu.g,h the picking of men from last year's Junior Varsity to H11 the places which were empty. Green took care of the tap off, with Scott and lkflidlam at the forward posts and Roger Holt was made into a stationary guard and LeCarpen- tier into a running guard or forward. Fred Herlihy, Aaron Warner, Allen Barton, Hugh Holt and Kloman Downing completed the reserves of the varsity. Our cage representatives engaged in some close battles, but managed to score 566 points to 369 by their opponents. The highest score that Captain LeCarpentier and his mates scored was the first game of the season against Newark High, 46 to 16. The season's record of the team follows: ' BASKETBALL SCHEDULE YVilmington Opponents 46 Newark ............. 16 33 Wesley' Col. Institute .... I7 24.

Out of a schedule of ten dual meets, they failed to X taste defeat once, and amassed a total of 435 points, as compared to 139, ,MT W' the score of their opponents. Captain Boyer was high scorer with 67 sf2a?w points, and suffered only one defeat in his favorite event, the fancy dive, out of the ten dual meets. Probably the biggest accomplishment of the year was the winning of the Swarth- more lnterscholastic Championships, in which our boys piled up more than twice the number of points needed to win. Individually the results were also gratifying in this meet for Brown won the backstroke in close to record time, while our relay team, composed of Palmer, Taylor, Reese and Nobis, surprised the field by breezing in an easy winner. The greatest dual meet triumph was over the Central High School team, cham- pions of Philadelphia. The Central. High swimmers during the season succeeded in breaking every Philadelphia Public School record but one, consequently it could be said that they had the best team that ever represented a Philadelphia High School. In this meet the Cherry and lfVhite relay team set up a mark of 1.22 for 160 yards which is three seconds better than the Philadelphia record. The team was composed of Nobis, Taylor, Reese and Sheldon. By placing five men in the National Individual Interscholastic Championships held at the University of Columbia, the team tied for second place with Mercersburg Academy. Our team received eleven points, while Andover Academy won with six- teen points. Various explanations are given for the success of VVilmington High School swim- ming team under the handicap of a small pool, but the big answer is to be found in the person of Leroy Sparks, who has coached the team since its beginning in 1921, and by a remarkable personality and keen knowledge of the swimming game, has turned out swimming swimmers.

About sixty boys answered the call. YVith such a large number out for the team, the prospects for a successful sea- son were bright. f The first few days Coach Brown, with the able assistance of Assist- ant Coach Foulk and Coach of Pitchers Gardiner, gave the candidates limbering up exercises, in the Gymn. At the end of the indoor prac- tice the squad assembled on the field whenever the weather permitted. During these in- frequent practices the candidates for each position were tried at their specialty, This trial of candidates took about one of the two weeks remaining before the first game. 'fl t ..,x rkgkhjy The next week was used in letting the boys .who showed the m0St ability in the preliminary practice get used to working together. Everyone knows that a team can- not be organized of boys who have never played together before. So when the time for the first game came around the team was still very immature. The opening game was on April fourteenth with West Philadelphia. Our team was defeated in this game by the score of eight to two. In this game the lack of prac- tice was plainly evident both at the bat and in the field. The pitchers were also in poor condition, due to a continued cold spell. The second game was on April twenty-fourth, with Goldey Business College. In thisvgame we came out with the short end of a score. The team showed signs of im- provement over the first game. This defeat was due to the efficiency of the Goldey's pitcher, who came back strong to redeem himself after last year's defeat. On May I2 the team under the direction of Assistant Coach Foulk travelled to School. In this game the team played like, big leaguersf' and it was evident that it had hit its stride. They defeated the Trade School boys ten to three, for the first win of the season. H The next game of the season was with Beacom's Business College. This game was played without the Coach or the Captain on the field. Thus the team entered the game with the odds against it. For the first Hve innings it looked as though the High School Boys were going to be shutout. But, at the beginning of the sixth, the team be- gan to get at the Beacom pitcher and tied the score in the eighth only to be beaten out in the ninth, by the score of nine to eight. The team next played was Wesley' Collegiate Institute of Dover. This game Showed that the team could hit as the score of twenty to three indicated. This game was a royal feast for our team. ' On lVIay I2 the team under the direction of Assistant Coach Foulk travelled to Camden and defeated the team of that city in a well played game by the score of nine to four. f Thus it can be seen from the above results that the team possesses winningiquali- ties, and it should be one of the best the school has produced, sincellsteady progress has been noticed from the first game until the present time. i Q O 11 3 , J ith - - lf? 131 QC .Iii Km 9 Q '01 2' 'Y Q!

After wif' the year IQI5, the team did little to further its name. The team of 1924, under the coaching of Mr. Wertecnik, won three dual meets and lost one. They did exceptionally well in winning two interscholastic meets for which the team has two cups. Besides this the team placed in more than. one event of the other Interscholastic meets. Although the team of 1925, under the coaching of RI. Cliff Gar- vine, Captain Jones and Manager Fredrick, failed to place at the Penn Relays, their time of 3.40 surpassed all previous records made by any relay team of Wilmington High School. The team has four duals and four interscholastics to prove their mettle this year. With the new material of this year, there is no reason why the team should not come through victorious in many events. 15 a O fx 6 3, , c J -13. - Ji? 133 fiat --- .Zi KfP .. . J Q .'. . O. 20 C 0 .

For two years tennis has been W J li . . . . . climbing up the athletic ladder to the goal, a major sport. Tennis has improved more and more each year. In 1923 High School lost but two games. This was the first year for tennis and showed a great stride for the honors of the school. ln the second year, 1924, the team lost only one out of six played. The only team which beat High School in 1924 was Lancaster High School, who obtained the honor of playing a few Junior Tennis Champions of this district. ln 1925, the Tennis Team has a good start. They defeated Glen-Nor on April 21 by the close score of 3-2.. This match held everybody in suspense, but better teamwork was displayed on High School's side. On April 23, High School invaded Chester and trimmed their rivals with a score of 5-O. This game also showed the efficiency of our fifth and sixth men, who, in the doubles, defeated Chester's first and second men. WVith the start that the tennis team has this year, it points toward a successful year. lVIilo R. Gerow, Tennis llflanager. '5 1 I 5 .f 3.

The first V. l team was captained by Jake VVarner, who proved to be a real leader and piloted l1is team through the entire season without a defeat except -., A S-I at tl1e hands of Salesianum. The Jay Vees defeated some of tl1e most J formidable teams of its class in this vicinity. After such a successful . ' J . . p r 1 N first year, it was decided to organize further the Jay Vee teams. 1 Tl1e second year the Jay Vees started out with the same line-upf' they had l1ad ' tl1e first year. The players had been together and they kept up the team spirit. Fritz Herlihy was elected to captain this second Jay Vee team. Under the guidance i went through their a wonderful record. of lVIr. Brown and the piloting of Captain Herlihy, the team second year of existence without a defeat. This was considered No other basketball team of the school ever made such a record. The team created a sensation in and around the city by making a record of losing but one game in two years. This was considered an enviable record for a team of tl1e Jay Vee type. In the third year of their existence most of the first team players of the Jay Vees were promoted to the Varsity team, thereby making it necessary for Coach Brown to form a new team. He did this and made a team that went through the third season without a defeat. This team was lead by H. Holt. Too much credit cannot be given to Coach Brown for the great interest he took in the teams. The spirit of sports- manship l1e kept in the teams was remarkable.

Alumni Assoczatzon URING the month of lNfIay or June, the Graduating Class of 1875 of lf' ' School Number One, VV1lm1ngton, Delaware, met at 'the school for the 'Rf purpose of forming an alumni association. The purpose of the associa- K 1 tion was to promote interest in the activities of the school and to per- M- petuate the memories of the institution. XM! It is regrettable that this meeting is not on record. For this reason i the proceedings other than those mentioned above are unknown. The officers during the first year of organization were as follows: J. H. Rile, President, J. N. Carswell, Vice-President, and J. R. lVIoore, Secretary. The Executive Commit- tee consisted of H. H. Billany, W. L. Scott, and J. N. Carswell. The life of the organization has been a hard one. Some years, due to the laxity of its officers, it has ceased to function. ln 1912, under the capable leadership of its live-wire president, H. C. Mahaffy, the association made a wonderful upward prog- ress. As a result of the untiring efforts of the officers, at the annual reunion in 1913 every graduating class from 1875 to 1913, inclusive, was represented. Unfortunately the enthusiasm was not permitted to last. As a consequence of the VVorld War the association lay dormant from 1916 to 1922. On December 9, 1922, a meeting of a committee of forty men was held to re- organize the Alumni Association. The work progressed slowly, but finally the re- organization was effected on Uctober 9, 1923, at a meeting held in Room No. I7 of the Wilmington High School. In May, 1924, the annual reunions were resumed and it is hoped that they will continue through eternity. The success or failure of the organization will depend on the present undergraduates, those who in the future will become Alumni. The Alumni Association offers two cash prizes each semester. One is given to the boy having the highest average for his four years in English and the other to the boy with the highest average in lVIanual Training. The association also keeps in close touch with the athletics of the school by being represented on the Athletic Committee by two members. fi 3 - fl. - -- hi? 149 524 - - .Li TBS bi M - - - l.,I3.LU IQ Qlii I C K C - '- was-ff'f25lQ'l I 'i G Alumnae Association agglfijgq- HE pur ose of the Alumnae Association is two-fold: educational and social. 1 . . P f,v,1'-Svagoi , WF' ' To further the former, we have given for several years, the sum of one hundred dollars a year to the girl who, in a competitive examination, has stood the highest in her class. The Winner has been privileged to bi? select her college. This year the W. H. S. will graduate its fiftieth class. In honor of this anniversary the members of the Alumnae decided unanimously to aim to increase its scholarship to five hundred dollars annually. This will enable a High School girl who may be the best in her class, but without funds for college, to secure at least one year of higher education. The social side is emphasized in our regular meetings Cespecially our January supper meetingj, and our reception to each graduating class. We hope to include in our membership next year every .girl of the class of 1925.

I don't suppose anything's the matter only when you mentioned dra- matics it seemed to strike a cord. I immediately thought of Junior Day and the play we gave. Oh! Junior Day, said Lora in an awed tone. Yes, I can see everything as plainly now as on THE DAY. You remember Lora, don't you, we all carried white chrysanthemums, as an emblem of innocence and purity I guess, while the Seniors carried yellow ones? How we did Hit around the halls clutching those treasured Howers! I tell you I hung on tightly to mine for I wanted everybody to know that I was one of the favored few that day. And oh! when the gong sounded for assembly how we did hurry to get in line, everybody trying to be first and I as usual near the tail end. But my cup ran over when the Lordly Seniors had to remain standing while we Juniors marched into the auditorium to thc ,X seats reserved for us in front. And then, too, the play! How delightful it was and ,IX . how dainty the girls looked in their quaint Quaker garb! No wonder the boys kept . : their eyes glued to their faces all the time. ' 1 And, Ann, said Lora with eyes shining, for she too well remembered that won- derful day, how about the Indians? Weren't they fierce looking though and wasn't Miles Standish an overbearing pompous looking fellow? Oh, Ann, I tell you that was a day in a million. , A 'P I agree with you there, Lora. Those were the good old days, said Ann in a slow tone.

How time does fly, Ann sighed at last. It just seems as if it were yesterday that we went to the High and look at us today. Oh dear, dear! VVell, Ann, you know the old saying, 'Time and tide wait for no man ?' But don't be so melancholy. Tell me didn't something peculiar happen at the end of our Junior year ? Peculiar ? NVell, maybe that's hardly the word for it, but you know that I mean so many of the boys and girls got a bee in their bonnet to graduate in June instead of Febru- ary. That certainly did cut a large slice from our class. What with the people who kept flunking and those who doubled up, it's a wonder we had as many graduate as f-X we did! You know there were only ninety-six. r, . Yes, I know that, Ann, but we didn't miss those that left our class or flunked, . , did we now ? O bliss them! I should say not. It's a wonder we didn't miss ourselves with all the lessons and all the activities going on. Why, don't you remember the very first , term we were Seniors we had that home rule business wished on us. Sure enough when the business of entertaining began who was selected to do the entertaining? Yours truly, of course! She, if you please, was put on a debate. When I think of it ,today I still pity the poor girls who had to listen to it. fC071lI1HlL'd on Page 1725 s .

Well, Lora, I admit that I was a bit put out, and I guess that third period class of boys had something to do with it. I verily believe they'd try the patience of an angel. There, there, Ann, I'm sorry I spoke as I did. I know boys for I've two of my own and they do try me sometimes. Try to forget them. There's a dear. Why I believe you're smiling. You certainly are queer. Almost ready to cry in one minute and then laughing in the next. Come let me in on the joke. Oh, Lora, said Ann in a quivery voice, do you remember that French play we were in P No wonder you laughed, replied Lora. You certainly were funny enough to make anyone laugh. Here the two giggled in a manner most unbecoming for a school marm as I've told you llfliss Ritzley was, and for her friend Lora, who, by the way, was a young married matron, the mother of two rollicking boys. Dear me,', said Ann as she wiped her eyes, dear me. Now that you mentioned that play, Ann, do you remember the one that was given at our Senior Reception and the one we gave at Christmas time? You remem- ber the Senior Reception, don't you ? I should say I do.

I recall I had a jolly time and I guess everybody else did too. Do you imagine the Senior Classes of today still give a reception ? I daresay they do. They wouldn't discard a perfectly good idea like that. No, they wouldn't, but didn't you say something about the play given at Christ- mas time ? Now, what was the name of that thing? Lora, do you remember ? I was just trying to think of it, Ann. Oh I have it, Lora. It was The Toy Shop, all about Santa Claus and his toys and the girls were the dolls and the boys clowns and soldiers. 'I'hat's right, so it was. VVeren't the girls too sweet for words, the wax dolls especially? I remember Kitty distinctly with her blond curls and blue eyesg she was a dear. Lora, I hope you haven't forgotten Anna and Betty as the baby dolls and how funny they were. And, Ann, you're not going to omit Butch as the jack-in-the-box. Ha, hal Wasn't he funny' though. I tell you, Lora, that play certainly was a hit. But the Senior Play that we presented just before Commencement was a bigger hit. You know it was called 'Clarence'. 'Oh, Clarence! I can still hear Betty now. VVasn't she a scream ? I'l1 say she was. How time does fly! It doesn't seem possible that all this happened ten years ago.

They had promised to take his case before the pardon board, as a last court-pleading the innocence of the convicted man, his guilt founded only on the evidence of freak cir- cumstance. Father Dolan entered-placed the tray upon the little table-stool and motioned the warden to leave him alone with the prisoner. lt was many minutes after the great door had slammed closed upon the two men that the old priest broke the silence. I-I have news for you, today, Paul, he faltered, half hesitatingly. Paul slowly raised himself to a sitting position. His dark and sunken eyes brightened-they looked into the unwillling gaze of Father Dolan-they questioned. ln them hope had sprung up--last hope-''what -they seemed to say- what news ? The old man faltered--sat down beside the boy and in a clear but unsteady voice said, Bly boy-you must be lJ1'ZlVC-fllCl'C is no hope! Paul sat motionless, staring blankly at the wall. A half smile played about the corners of his mouth as he spoke very softly, But the pardon, Father-they will, then with a little flush, Oh, I know they'll--- No, interrupted the old man, the pardon has been refused. You must go this afternoon. I am sorry for you, but, continued the old man pointing upward, trust Him, my boy, and do not be afraid! A moment of stillness passed. It seemed an hour, then, slowly and boldly came the answer, No--I am not afraid. ' fContium'd on Page 1815 T UNGER STORAGE BATTERYCOMPANY Madison and Twelfth Streets 6 . WILMINGTON, DELAWARE 3.

Washington 8390 fConfiuucd from Page IIQJ THE LAST COURT The voice contained in it a bit of irony-a bit of cynicism perhaps, but it was a different voice, so different that Father Dolan started at the sound of it. The young face seemed stronger than had been-it was marked with an expression of defiance rather than fear-of understanding rather than hatred. I see now, he continued, differently than I did before. I see now what really matters most. Why l am free-free-a free man! Just think of it! I am innocent and the only one in the world who knows or believes it-but who else matters-who else must answer my own conscience ?l' So in the moments that followed, as the old man of God and the young man, to die, knelt side by side on the cold llagstones to pray-with the light of the morning sun, there came to the soul of the doomed man a greater light and a fuller understand- ing than he had ever known. The soul of man would not look for the truth of life until all hope of mortality 'X had passed. The mind that lived in the world could not know the finer truths of f-. . heaven. How wonderful to face one's self clean and satisfied. ls this not the last ' , court to pass sentence that is true. lfVhat is life if we transcend it? e At two o'clock on that afternoon, the scaffold trap dropped-the rope snapped taut--a spirit passed. The papers that night proclaimed the execution of a murderer 6 and a criminal, but life's last court, the tribunal of his own conscience, had vindicated him-and man's court of last resort had only set him free.

Gradually, the snow abated and the sun peeped out, and warmed him. His pack grew lighter, his hunger ceased, and his tired bones stopped aching. He was near the top. At last he saw the gtreat gate with its devil-peaks. His heart was glad. He was home! VVith ease, he broke the rusty lock, and the gate creaked open. He passed up the path of flat stones, past the great bronze bell, and as he passed it gave a little moan of peace and contentment, and he crossed and raised the huge hammer, sending a mighty peal across the valley to announce his arrival. Then he picked up his bundle and went on up the path between clahlia, phlox and marigold bushes. But of all the flowers, only one lived, a single golden saisei-rose, over which fluttered the first butterfly. And from the shadows of the temple came a rich, dull gold gleam. He was happy. lt was his Great Lord Buddha! ' He entered the temple by a small side door, and there, in a small alcove, prepared the food that he had brought up the mountain side. Without touching it himself, he carried it into the shrine, to the great statue of gold. The whole room seemed full of blue-gray smoke. Wheii he lighted the poor little candles upon the altar they seemed to be dim as the ghosts of newly departed spirits. He felt sick! Hungry! Tired! The room whirled. Buddha smiled. He placed the food at Buddha's great feet, then started to kneel in prayer. A sweet odor pervaded the room. 'lt was the perfume of the saisei-rose.

And suddenly the poor priest felt happy. ln Buddha's hand was a brighter glint than he had ever noticed before. He reached up and touched it. It was soft. Had anyone committed a sacrilege and placed something in Buddha's hand? He pulled it away. He reeled! He staggered! He could not believe his senses! Here in his temple was the thing he had searched for miles away, the Rose ' . of Gold . The people in the valley had missed the daily tolling of the bell on the mountain top. VVhat could be the matter? Their curiosity was aroused to such an extent that half the town determined to make a pilgrimage up the mountain. At the top they found the temple deserted.

BALL HISTORY OF THE HI-Y CLUB ISHCIIHJP All-visor HE history of the Hi-Y Club of North America dates back to a club or- ganized at Iola, hlichigan, High School, in 1870. This was known as 'AQ Qi the High School Young ll'Ien's Christian Association. In purpose and plan it was quite similar to the present Hi-Y Clubs The idea grew, and today we find a Hi-Y Club at Chapman, Kansas. which dates its growth from 1889. The present national purpose of the Hi-Y movement was adopted in 1913 at the first General Assembly of the Y. RI. C. A., held at Culver, Indiana. So far as is known, the first use of the name Hi-Y Club in connection with the movement was used by the Cleveland, Ohio, lVest Side Y. NI. C. A. in 1914. The movement has grown until at the present time there are on record 2,064 Hi-Y Clubs in about 1,700 different high schools, with a membership of 59,I6I, throughout the United States and Canada. In the VVilmington High School the Hi-Y Club was first organized in 1917. Since that time it has existed, though at times inactive, and has slowly grown to its present status. The purpose, the slogan, the dynamic and the objectives of the Hi-Y movement are the essential elements that have given unity, vitality and growth to the organ ization. FIQHE PURPOSE- To create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. THE SLOGAN--NClCZll1 living, clean speech, clean athletics, clean scholarship. CIIHE DYNABIIC-KICOIIIHQIOUS Christian character. CIQHE OBJECTIVES- Health betterment, mind acquirement, soul enrichment, so- cial advancement, and service achievement. The local club encourages in the school, health betterment through its interest in athletics, and mind acquirement in its stand for high and clean scholarship. The Bible discussion, which is part of the weekly meeting program, strives toward soul enrichment. In the regular meetings and in the joint meeting with the Girls' Friend- ship Club, the boys advance in the social aspect of lifef The service achievement of the club extends not only in the personal interest of the members in each other, but also to interest in the poor of the community and its homes for boys.

Clubg then it was sanctioned by the faculty of the High School. Miss Fitzwater was elected faculty advisor and from that time up to the present day the Friendship Club has had a dehnite place in the affairs Of W. H. S. The Friendship Club is a branch of the Girl Reserves and in the programs of the club the three sides of the Girl Reserves triangle-health, knowledge, and spirit-are stressed. The code of the Girl Reserves, their slogan TO face life squarely and the motto TO find and give the best form the underlying principles Of the Friendship Club, together with its purpose to be friendly to all girls. Each term, new and interesting programs are planned. These programs include Father-Daughter Banquets, Faculty Teas, Mother-Daughter Suppers, talks on worth- while subjects by well-known speakers, musicals and fire-side meetings.

CCoEnued from Page II7D SENATUS POPULUS QUE ROMANUS' T23-4QE,g' QUITE new and unique club was started at the High School in Sep- f'- 1- ,bk tember, namely the Latin Club. It is recognized by the letters S. P. Q. R. The club was organized with thc hope of strengthening the studcnt's in- terest 1n the Latin language and in the customs of the Roman people Wxkhgfld r v.:.A - I' during the time of Cicero, Caesar and Virgil, and to a great measure it has succeeded. Every meeting has been as near like a true Roman affair as possible. At our Hrst meeting we divided the citizens of the Roman State into tribes and then into centuries according to their wealth Cof knowledgel. After the auspices had been consulted and the election bugles blown, each century was ,allowed one vote. VVe have had various instructive and interesting games. At one meeting we played Latin Games. At another an amusing Latin play and a pie- turesque vestal virgin drill were presented. Our largest affair of the term was a Saturnalia CChristmasl Party given for the members of the club and faculty advisors of the club. Everything was in true Roman style, even the refreshments. Every- one enjoyed these exceedingly. Altogether, the Latin Club .has certainly been and will be a great asset to the Latin department.
