Everyone was there, for there wasn’t a single person you could think of who wasn’t. Even old Sumantha Stoopintakit, who hadn’t been out for almost a year, and old Breeze Ezry, who had had three strokes of paralysis and always grunting about either the weather, or how short the women were wearing their skirts. “Yes, sir, boys,” old Breeze would say, “things are gittin’ puny bad when ye cin see their j hoeiops.” At about seven-thirty you could begin to hear the fiddles strike up some kind of an airy tunc like, “Turkey in the Straw” or something. The hall was crowded. “Go to the left and cast off four.” “Oh how 11 you swap or how’ll you trade your pretty girl for my old maid,” the caller would chime in every once in awhile. In one corner of the reception hail was a big I an of cracker jack for the youngsters, candy for the women, and cigars for the men. A large five-gallon jar, which served as a punch bowl, was standing on a table in the center of the room, full of fresh cider. An era of good feeling prevailed for this was the night of the Shucksville Blowout. —?dary Elizabeth Gilbert. WHEN A MAN’S A MAN IN AMERICAN LITERATURE CLASS Once there was a fellow who took American Literature. He was very quiet, attentive and honest. When the teacher would explain the next lesson, he would sit very still and listen. If there was any question he silently raised his hand to ask about it. When she passed out the papers, which were graded, he passed them on without looking at the grade on any but his own. If, by chance, he had failed to read his lesson, he listened quietly and got the most he could out of it. This he did at times, because he said that was what he was in school for. When some “Smart Alec” threw a piece of chalk at him, he never flinched, but sat in the same quiet way. One day the teacher sent him out of class for beating time with his foot to the music downstairs, though it wasn’t he who was guilty. Nevertheless he went out without arguing the matter. When asked why he didn’t tell the teacher that it wasn’t he, he said, “Oh, 1 didn't wish to start anything in class.” The fellow who was guilty, said “why not? That’s what I did it for—to cause some fun and get out of a little work.” The perfect man said. “Yes, we all know what you are. The class would be better off without you.” Then the fellow, who loved calamity, began to knock him and before long he was without a friend, except the teacher. Then he was called “Teacher’s Pet.” He stood up under the strain of being called names and playing a lone hand though he became white and thin. When school was out in the spring, he left town to find a job, since he had no friends in his home town, a I! because he did what he thought was expected of him, regardless of what happened. When he was last heard of he was trying to make new friends. —Olin Phipps. TOMORROW—AS I SHOULD LIKE TO SPEND IT I shall arise at seven o’clock. I shall have no cows to milk and no tires to patch before coming to school. I shall have niy chauffeur drive me to school and arrive at five to nine. After the bell has rung, we shall sing in a body for two hours, none of us being hoarse or in ill humor. I shall send my secretary to History while I read the daily paper. Perhaps I shall drop into class for a few minutes and give a talk. During this period my Literature secretary will be writing my written work for the day. I shall have an overstuffed rocker in the hack row, and some small boy to held my book and rock my chair. I may have him pass around some of my candy at interevals of ten minutes, and set a few tacks for the amazement of the people at large. Miss Jordan would probably tolerate anything on this day of “Dreams Come True.” The two periods following I shall devote to reading and sleeping. I would not come the next two periods, hut be lepresented by my Physics cxpeit. At Manual Training time, I will be attended by a full force of liveried secret service men an 1 a few refreshment boys. After seating myself at my automatic drafting table, I shall proceed to set all of the triggers and print my drawing on the paper without a mistake, after which I shall send it to my printer to be carefully lettered in. W'hen Mr. Ready had put his O. K. on it, 1 shall spend the rest of the time in consultation with the faculty on the betterment of working-conditions in W. C. H. S. —Fred Edmonds. 4M 102(3 Twenty
