For many ot' ns this will bel the graduation or parting from school life. Others will pursue their courses further, thus gaining for themselves a higher place in the world. In graduating, we leave behind us the memories of our school days, and, although at this time we may 11ot think it, we are parting from our friends and classmates. VVe may drift far and wide but al ways we will look hack to the good times had in Wilitlirop High. Graduating, however, does not necessarily mean the leaving of our learning. Although some of us may never again attend school, we will, unto the end ot our lives, always be learning. June, the month of graduation, is in my mind, a very appropriate month. The spring with all its beauty has just departed and the sum- mer with all that it holds is just ahead. So it is with graduation. We have just left high school with all its good times and its teachings. and are ready to step into a new phase of life. In this life we will have one true teacher. Wherever we go, Whatever we do, this teacher always fol- lows us, dealing out the bitter with the sweet, giving us hard knocks and even breaks. This great teacher of man, as many have found out, is called Experience. The school of experience is one of the greatest of all schools and the most widely attended. It is one that no person will ev- er graduate from, but one which many have found to he the school of man 's greatest learnings. --E. B. Winthrop High School 9 Knowledge received from books is not the only thing for which a person goes to school, although when he enters school it is for that ex- press purpose. The average student is unconscious of the other phases of school life that he is assimilating and of the examples he is to emulate. He just is I10f aware of what he is really doing. He may think or he may declare that he is getting absolutely nothing out of school but the book- learning. He is wrong, for who can spend five hours and a half every day for five days a week for thirty-six weeks out of the year in company with seventy-five other students, every one of which has a different per- sonality fllld nature, without learning something from them, unless he is an extremist? It may be possible, but not probable. lt is in school that a normal person first learns to recognize and grasp opportunities. At first it is the minor opportunities that he learns to take advantage of, but as he advances he realizes the most ini- pc,-rtant chance of all, the fact that it is possible for him to attend school. Two other important accomplishments are closely related, namely the ability to think and talk clearly. When a person has learned how to formulate and, get his ideas across to the other fellow, forcefully and clearly then he has got more out of his school life than just hook- learning. -TI. H. School Spirit! What do we mean by this uncertain term? It means the many good things that one can do to better the conditions of school life. If a person goes to school and does not join in any of its activities, he does not have the quality of school spirit. Many people have commented 011 the school spirit of XVinthrop High. The pupils seem to take hold of affairs and help each other as much as possible. The teachers try to cheer the pupils on, v. hen they are in trouble, which has a tendency to arouse school spirit. School spirit is a quality which a pupil must have if he wants to make friends with the other pupils of the school. It is up to the pupil himself if he wants to have a. good school spirit or if he wants to get away with everything he can and not help anyone else. I think it is safe to say that before the activities of the school may be successful, the quality of school spirit must be present. And as one of our great men said, Hitch your Wagon to a star and strive to reach it. This also ap- plies to school spirit. One should set a high standard for himself and constantly work to measure up to it. -L. F. 10 Winthrop XVinner To my mind a high school education cannot be valued in dollars and cents. It is tru-e that a student could go to work directly, after graduating from grammar school and earn a good sum of money, while another going to high school would earn very little money. But the person going to work as soon as he leaves the grammar grades is earning something that he cannot keep forever while the person pursuing an education through high school is obtaining that priceless thing that he cannot lose or have taken away from him-knowledge. A few hundred dollars amount to hardly anything in a whole life- time, while if one gets a few hundred dollars' worth of education he has obtained something that will get many dollars for him later on and help him to be a better citizen in this great land of opportunities. The business man of today is looking for the educated man. They are no longer satisiield with the good, they want the best. Competition in the line of getting good jobs is becoming fiercer and fiercer. There- fore, the educated person is going to have a great advantage over a per- son that is not educated. So I say to all boys and girls, at least, get a high school education and if possible, pursue your education still farther. The man that empties his purse into his head cannot have it taken away from him. -R. F. We owe it to ourselves, to our neighbors, and in fact to the whole world, to be honest. One thing that we must do is to live with one an- other. I think that it is safe to say, that the lives of others cross our ovvn more than a hundred times a day and there is no permanent happi- ness unless we treat 0119 another fairly. W'e should especially consider this quality, in reference to our school work. Suppose, for example, that during an examination in algebra, or al- most any study, that I find it easy to look on my neighbor's paper to see what he has w1'titen. Soon I have written the same answers 011 my pa- per that there are in his. VVhen 1 receive 1ny paper back I find that I have an A marked on the corner. I think, XVell, I got by that time, I can do it again. So I try it again and again all through the year and pass with high honors, but at the same time I have a queer feeling. What is it? It is because I have not earned those marks honestly. I say to myself that that honor does not belong to me, it belongs to somebody else. What good is it to me? Winthrop High School 11 Again daily work may be passed in on time, but still that is no sign that it is done honestlyg I mean by that, done by yourself and not by someone else. In the long run, I think you will agree that honesty is the best poli- cy. Let everyone, I speak especially of those who are going to school, scorn copying and do the work themselves, then they can know their marks, whatever they may be, are earned honestly. 1 -B. L. A school consists of all kinds of pupils. Some are always ready and willing to take part in all school activities and of course there are al- ways those who think of themselves first, having 110 interest in school affairs. Strive to keep yourself from the latter group! If there is go- ing to be a food sale and somebody asks you to be a salesman or to solicit, say yes immediately. Don 't be o11e of those who are continually re- fusing to collaborate. Be in tl1e school and of it, not in the school and not of it. The Sallie thing applies when you have to give a current event, don 't be one of those who are chronic fault-finders! You know it has to be done, so do it willingly and in the most pleasing manner possible. Then you will get the attention of your audience, which is very essential. Work for your school in all its undertakings and try to make your school have the very best standard it can. If you form the habit of cooperation in your younger days, it will be with you all the rest of your life. It will help you in business to get along successfully with your employer and at the same time it will help you, yourself, as well as your fellow-workers. Hitch your wagon to a star and try to reach that star-success. Co- operation will help. -H. B. This is written chi-efly for those who do not believe a high school ed- ucation is beneficial to every boy and girl. The foremost point emphasized by these people in favor of one term- inating his education with the grammar school is that they personally know a number of boys and girls who never attended high school but have good positions. These cases are few, however. Many high school graduates have to work a year or two in some fac- tory, or out of doors before they can either go to some business college or obtain a better job. This is what causes the above mentioned people to take the attitude that a high school education is just a waste of time. 12 Winthrop Winner Nevertheless, students are none the worse off if they have to do some hard work for a time, for when they do get a good position, they can better appreciate it. Many a hard working man today understands the real value of a high school education and knowing what he has missed, is willing to make sacrifices and deprive himself of luxuries so that his children may profit thereby and lead an easier life. Knowledge is the one thing a person cannot have taken from him and the more he has of it, the better fitted he is to meet the hardships of life. The habits that a person forms between the ages of fourteen and eighteen remain with him the rest of his life. As these are the average ages of high school students, one can, by attending a secondary school, form good habits as well as obtain knowledge. In school one learns bet- ter how to associate with other people and understands more clearly the things he has to face in life. More and more students every year are attending the secondary schools, which goes to show that people are beginning to realize the val- ue of a high school education. -A. F. lt is often discovered that the members of a class who most severely criticize its proceedings and activities are the ones who seldom attend class meetings. They have been satisfied to ride on continuously and let others make the sacrifices necessary to promote the welfare of their class. Another failing is that they many times accept praise for the fine work accomplished when they should say a good word for those who have always stood by so loyally and who are making such a fine record. The work of the class is being taken care of without their help. This work cannot- be done without the sacrifice of time and energy by the of- ficers and members who belong to the class. Those who do not give themselves up to helping are benefiting by these sacrihces. A careful observation usually shows that such students will do their share if called up and encouraged, and if a specific work is laid out for them. No person Wants to be known as a shirker of responsibility. These members of the class should be counted upon to help in the accomplish- ment of some affair. Let each member of a class encourage the ones who may be inclined to be drifting away from their class. If each one is wil- ling to work the hardest possible and with great zeal in any situation, then the fright spirit has been formed and the class is well on the road to becoming successful. -C. S. Winthrop High School 13 For the majority of high school students, what they are going to do after graduating is a problem. Some know what they want to do, others do not, but it is my opinion that every graduate from high school should pursue some further course of education. Although a person may not go into a business where a college education would be needed, he will profit by his education. Dean Lord of Boston University, College of Business Administration, places the cash value of a college education at SB7 2,000 and the cash value of a high school education at 2B33,000. The average maximum income of an untrained man has been placed at 351,200 a year, that of a high school graduate at 32,200 a year and that of a college graduate at 316,000 It has been estimated that the college graduate will earn nearly twice as much as that of the high school graduate, up to sixty years of age. By this we plainly see the value of a further education, after leav- ing high school. In the time of our forefathers little education was absolutely neces- sary to the average man. But, today, in our age of science, invention and big business, one of the most essential things in life is a thorough education. One does not necessarily have to attend college. There are any num- ber of trade schools of all different types. One can specialize in any- thing from farming to the most skillful surgery. For a boy or girl to say that he or she does not have the chance to go farther than high school, in their education, now, is almost out of style. Anyone who really wishes to better his education may in several ways earn his way through school. We must hunt for the best things in life, for they will not come to us. -E. B. Did you ever realize that the book habit is the most fascinating one in the world? This can be either a good or a bad habit and of course rests with the individual. The old saying, A man is known by the com- pany he keeps, may be applied to books as well, for A person is known by the books he reads. To make it a good habit does not mean that you must always buy books with morals firmly attached to every chapter, but it does mean that you should read the books after the reading of whichgyou honestly feel happier or braver or better able to do your work and meet life 's problems. With this condition the book habit is a good habit for us all. Has it ever occurred to you that all of our greatest men were so- called book worms? Even Abraham Lincoln was so affected, 14 Winthrop Winner reading all that he could get. Benjamin Franklin had the advantage of knowing books all through, that is, he knew how to read them, write them and print them. Most of us think that we know how to read books, but very few of us do. To obtain the most from a book one must know how to pick out the best parts and use them in one's own life. Here is what Franklin said, I would advise you to read with a pen in your hand and enter in a little book, a thought that you might find curious or useful, for this will be the best method to imprint such thoughts on your memory, where they will be ready for some future occasion. Y We all like books with pictures in them, whether we will say so or not, as they make us understand what we read about and are therefore very worthwhile to us. There is one thing that is finer than owning books and that is shar- ing them. I think there are four ways of doing this. The first is acting in our daily lives the way a good book tells us to actg secondly, lending our books freely to others who are not so fortunate as to have them, as a third, recommending good books to others wishing to buy them, and lastly, giving books to other people who would like to learn to read good books. -M.

Pieked up hy the throngr, it was multiplied two thousand fold and sud- denly the whole theatre was as though pandemonium had hroken loose. For fifty years the Old Palace 'l'heatre had stood on NYest Forty- seeond Street, between Lexington and Columbus, ottering, nightly, eheap amusement to thousands. On the evening of which this story is written, thirty memhers of a young men's organization occupied as many seats down front. Une ot' their numher, a new member, was being hazed. Ile was an old-fash- ioned hoy from an old fashioned home in the Middle VVest : in New York, to make his fortune. Let the reader he assured that it was not Stanley Ilarvey's ehoiee of shows that brought him to the Old Palace. for his ehoiee would have been Shakespeare or some other similar performance. Ile was being initiated when the hoys suddenly diseovered that he re- fused to swear. Through all kinds of trials and unfair treatment he had refused to pass an oath, no matter how small. Just one little cuss, Stanley, and we'll take you home. jeered one of the boys. But Harvey folded arms, his grimly set chin showed his refusal very plainly. Wi11t.hrop High School 23 Everyone was giggling and laughing at Stanley 's expense whe11 sud- denly, as though some great hand had snatched them away, the smiles disappeared and expressions of horror took their places. Fireln The hoarse cry rang out from two thousand throats, and then panic seized the entire throng. Men and boys-and the stronger women-crowded toward the exits. Many were trampled under foot. As Stanley Harvey came up the aisle he noticed something which s.1-.lck l1in1 as very strange: the gallery was empty! Jumping to the back of a seat, he made a spring for the balcony rail. He caught hold and having dra n himself to safety, turned to look back upon the seething hundreds below him. Cupping his hands, he shouted, Climb to the back of the seats illlll l'll pull you up! The gallery is empty! Hurryll' A woman heard l1is cry first. Unable to climb to tl1e back of the seat, she grasped a child by tl1e arm, dragged her from the aisle and held her up until Harvey could grab her by the wrists, drew her up to safety and headed her toward the exit. The woman's action had at- tracted others. Women 11ow came in crowds to be saved. One at a time Stanley Harvey drew tl1en1 up, noticing that the flames had crossed the orchestra pit and were coming nearer. A tiny bit of a child came up, and next l1er mother. Heading them toward the exit, Stanley bent over to catch the next one. Where shall I go? screamed the woman, elasping her child to her bosom. The smoke was becoming too dense to even see the exit. All at once a man loomed up at the gallery door. Pointing to him, Stanley tried to speak. Ile could not! His throat was too dry, too full of smoke. He merely pointed and tl1e11 stooped over the rail again. Nearly everyone was out now. Great God, give u1e five minutes, b1'eathed the man. Five min- utes will elear tl1e hall. Ile noticed now that a man. not a woman was handing the people up to him. They 're all getting out tl1e exit now ! shouted his helper hoarsely. A sudden rumble a11d terrific crash told that the great organ had fallen. Run for your life! They 're all out l roared tl1e man in the aisle. and even as l1e spoke he dashed for the door. Harvey looked around. He could see nothing but a thick, gray, impenetrable wall of smoke, he could hear nothing but the roar of flames. Starting out blindly, he head-ed ill the direction in which he 24 IVinthrop XVinner knew the exit to be. Now he could see more clearly, the smoke no lon- ger strangled him. God 's outdors! Stanley Harvey stepped onto the fire escape. . There's a man I came a hoarse voice from below. A rending of timbers, a crash and a roar from within told that the gallery so recently vacated had gone down. Starting almost blindly down the fire escape, Harvey was more than half way to the ground. A terrific crash! A frightful roar! The wall was gone! A thousand newspapers carried these headings next morning. The Old Palace is gone! Owner declares his loss is nil for the world lost a man I -Winthrop Clement, '30. TRIALS OF A FRESHMAN Not all schools have the freshman initiation that VVinthrop High School has and the pupils that attend those schools can little realize what suttering they miss. 'Yet they need not think that they are entirely lucky, for, since my terrible day is over, I can quickly say it is one of the most exciting events of the freshman year. All schools do not have the same form of punishing the green pupils, so the only way I can correctly describe some of the freshman trials is to tell of those that a freshman class had to endure last year. The first week of school passed quickly because we had so many things to learn. Before the second week of school was over, the boys had come in very close contact with pennies, sidewalks, boards Hlld other similar objects. The girls received their share also, because one morning we were told to assemble downstairs. The girls of the three upper classes had hair-ribbons and also some queer ideas on how we should wear our clothes. These ideas they quickly put into practice. Many of the girls were uncomfortable that morning because their right shoes had changed places with their left ones and their sweaters or coats had become turned inside out and back side to , before they were put on. The worst part of these trials I thought, was walking into the main room, trying to look unconcerned, yet. seeing the others staring and laughing. The Freshman Reception was one that many will always remember. NVe were lin-ed up downstairs in the Town Hall and then marched up- stairs to stand in the receiving line. Some of the young people did not believe in half way measures as they shook hands and several boys and girls remarked that their right hands were nearly crushed. Winthrop High School 25 We were lined up again and then had to walk up on the stage while a verse was read about each of us. Some of these verses very humorous- ly showed how green we were. The dance for Freshmen only was enjoyed by the spectators, but not by those taking part. This class is not unusual, so we certainly enjoyed the refreshments, -at least, those who were there at the time they were being served, did. But a rumor went about the hall that the boys had gone to sample one of Nature 's ' ' wash-basins. ' l During the whole evening, if the games seemed to lag, some of the stronger and older boys would say, Freshman boy wanted downstairs. ' ' Of course we knew what that meant and the boys had the girls' sympathy to help them through the discomforts. -Helga Lindholm, '31. JUST A LITTLE GIRL Early to bed and early to rise, Quickly dressed with many bright ties, Eager for books and was always seated As soon as the schoolhouse was thoroughly heated. But then I was just a little girl. Welcomed dear teacher with a sweet smile, And gaily tripped down to my seat near the aisle, Always received on my rank card A plus, And answered all questions without any fuss. But then I was just a little girl. Loved to Wash black-boards and clean out my desk And tried in all things to do it the best. Liked to lend pencils or give paper awayg Thought that good children should always obey. But then I was just IL little girl. Straight home from school, for I never dared go To visit or linger when mother said no. Ready for bed when the clock struck eight, So in the morning I wouldn't rise late. But then I was just a little girl. -KATHERINE WEBB, '30. A HEROIC DEED Robert Southerland, the seventeen year old son of Mr. Alfred Sou- therland of Midland, Georgia, had been a cripple since childhood. At the age of thirteen months he had fallen downstairs, injuring his spine. He had been taken to every noted specialist whom Alfred Southerland, the great railroad magnate, had ever heard of. The doctors had helped Rob- ert so that he could sit up in a wheel chair, but they had given up hope, saying that the boy would never walk again. Robert, however, had nev- er given up hope. He prayed that some day, some way, God would give 26 Winthrop Winner him the power to walk again. He could not bring himself to believe that he would never be able to walk, run, play basket ball and baseball like the other boys. I One sunny afternoon in June, Robert was seated in his chair o11 the wide veranda of his beautiful summer home, gazing out over tl1e little valley. Not more than eight hundred feet from the hedge that encircled the house and lawn, ran two glistening, steel rails. The trains that rum- bled over those rails every two hours were a source of joy and delight to Robert. He always imagined himself as one of them running a race with time. As he was feeling rather blue this particular day, he hardly no- ticed his iron friend when it rumbled past at two twenty. Also he did not see Ruby a11d Topsy, the little darkey twins of his mother's colored cock, go down toward the track. He tried to read, but the book did not interest him as usual, so he closed his eyes and was soon sound asleep. The sun slowly wheeled his broad disc toward the western hills. The clock rhythmically ticked off the minutes until the hands said ten min- utes after four. Bu-z-z-z-z-z went the alarm. Robert awoke with a start, rubbed his eyes, glanced at the annoying timepiece and to the corn- er around which. the four twenty limited would be roaring i11 ten min- utes. Well, mused Robert, I am glad I awoke for my friend is 011 the way.', Then, as if by instinct, he looked down: the track. To his hor- rified amazement, Ruby and Topsy sat between the rails playing with a piece of coal, unmindful of danger. Mother! Bertha! yelled Robert as loud as he could. He held his breath waiting for an answer, but none came. He called again and again. but no one answered his agonized calls. Determinedly he gritted his teeth and started to roll his chair down from the veranda, onto the graveled walk, out of the gate and toward the children. He was only fifty feet from them when he heard the train whistle in the distance. Faster and faster the chair wheels went around, but fifteen feet away he stopped despairingly, realizing he would never be able to reach the children before the train did. O, God! came from his lips, give me the power to-.H The train whistled around the corner, desperately Robert threw from him the blanket,which w1'apped his legs and leaped from his chair, he fell, got up again and gave another jump. He gripped the curley pigtails of the girls and rolled down the bank with them. The engineer seeing the children had janibed on the brakes, but too late. The engine came to a screeching stop a few hundred feet away. The Winthrop High School 27 hrakeman rushed to where the crumpled body of the boy lay, and lifted his head tenderly. NVater was brought and after a few minutes Rob- ertls eyelids iiuttered, and his eyes opened. Thank God, I did itf' he murmur-ed, and lost consciousness again. Many weeks later, after returning from the hospital, Robert was seen making his way toward the city ball ground and he was using both legs. A joyful smile crossed his face as he approached the captain of the Junior Red Sox exclaiming, May I play, too?', The boys greeted him as they would a hero. promising that he could be umpire. Gee, I was never so happy in all my life, he cried, the age of miracles isnyt past yet. And the boys agreed with him. -Helen Harris, '30. HOW I STUDY My first attempt at poetry Is something like a scratch, I cannot think of what to say, The lilies don 't even match. My mind keeps wandering to and fro It seems to roam and roam, But all this rambling goes to show, I'm doing this at home. At home I cannot concentrate Upon a single thing, YVhile I ,Ill reading history I'm bound to try to sing. And while I'm singing merrily, I think of all the things That take my mind from history And put it in a swing. And it keeps swinging back and forth vVOl1tlEl'lIJg when to stop, It almost thinks that it is time And then it starts to hop. But then, it comes to a dead stop, My history is all read, I don 't know what my lesson is, But it 's time to go to bed. -EARLE BEATTY, '29. CINDERELLA AND THE TRAMP lNight was falling. dark, stormy and growing colder with every mo- ment. It was snowing heavily, and tl1e wind was increasing steadily. Two tramps entered the town just as the clock struck six. They were dirty and ragged. Their coats were patched, and their shoes, a size too large, showed signs of much wear. Y 28 Winthrop XVinner Well, my lad, said the older of the two tramps, What can We do for excitement tonight 'V' I guess we can find something, Pardf' replied his companion. I'd like a good square meal. They stopped talking, for two very attractive young girls were com- ing their way. The girls stopped on the corner. What are you going to wear to the Poverty Ball this evening, Nan? one asked. I think I'll go as a gypsy, what are you going as 'V' asked her com- panion. Cinderella, I think, answered her friend, whose name was Mary. I'll see you later, then. With these few words the girls parted. Sounds pretty good to me ! exclaimed one of the tramps. I say, let's go to this ball as trampsf' This reply was accompanied by a hearty laugh. It did not take our tramps very long to learn all about the Poverty Ball, which was being given by one of the wealthiest families in the city. At eight o'clock the guests were all very mystified as to the identity of the latest arrivals-a couple of tramps. The hostess shook hands with them cordially, laughed, and said, Well, boys, you surely did well, I've no idea ii ho you are, but I'll find out before the evening is over. The tramps mingled among the guests. The older tramp was about forty years of age, and had been a tramprfor many years. His compan- ion, however, was a young fellow who had run away from home two years before because he didn 't want to go into business with his father. His name was Martin Webster, but he introduced himself to everyone by his nickname-' ' Marty. The evening passed happily. Marty-the tramp seemed to be enjoying himself very much indeed. He made one mistake, however, and that was that he paid altogether too much attention to Cinderella, much to the disgust and anger of the Prince. The two tramps escaped just before twelve, which was the hour when everyone was expected to reveal his identity. Outside they paused a mo- ment to listen to the music. Where do we go from' here, Lad?', asked the older tramp. UI don 't know where you ,re going, Pard, but I'm going home,,' de- clared his companion. Oh come now, Marty. Not really Z', Yes, really. I've decided I'll make something of myself. Several weeks later Martin Webster, Jr., was gladly welcomed back Winthrop High School 29 into his family, who no longer insisted that he enter his father 's business. Given his own choice in the matter of a career, he became a salesman, and a good one at that. The trip that he always enjoyed the most, l1ow- ever, was the one to that pleasant little city where he had attended the Poverty Ball. His Cinderella proved to be Mary Smith, and she was every bit as attractive as he had thought her to be. But it was not until after she had become Mary Webster' that she learned that Martin, her husband, the successful salesman, and Marty-the tramp, were the same person. -FRANCES EDWARDS, '29, WHITE WINGS White wings, sailing into the night, Motors humming, telling of might, Rain pouring downg one scarce could see.

For hours we waited, but knew no more, Till watchers on that distant shore - Heard, first a hum, then saw a speck Coming onward and ever on, Coming to greet them, weary and wan From waiting and watching, from doubting and fear. That speck drew nearer and yet more near, Till, 'Tis a plane, someone broke out, And all the world took up the shout. The Lonely Eagle, tlying alone, Had done what formerly ne 'er was known. Uneharted spaces traveled he, As he winged his way across the sea, But he placed his hand in the hand of God And had no fear of the path he trod. Knowing, that if it were His way, God would bring him to La Bourget. He bore a message of good will and cheer That shall gleam in history for many a year. And Lindy, forever, shall be known As The first to span the Atlantic alone. And yet, not a moment alone was he, God went with Lindbergh, across the sea. -W. WINTHROP CLEMENT, '30. 30 Winthrop Winner TEN YEARS AGO Armistice Day brings back to our minds the thought of the soldiers who sacrificed, suffered, fought and died for us and our great country. Do we remember the waving fiags, sounding trumpets and the monoto- nous tread of marching feet? How line after line of khaki would pass before shouting crowds cheering them on to answer the call of duty! From that field of brown let us pick out one soldier as an example of an unsung hero. , The hands of time make quick changes. The scene is now laid in a dark and gloomy inferno. .Amid the deafening thunders of heavy ar- tillery, fiendish humans deal destruction. The wounded, mangled, dead and dying are all lying together on the devastated battlefield. Satan must certainly have influenced these countries to rise up against each other and send men to destroy lives and ravage property. Perhaps we are all prisoners of destiny, merely puppets controlled by threads of fate. The litters are carrying from the front the injured, and as we gaze we recognize the soldier chosen by us to represent the heroism of H OUR BOYS. The white stretcher at last comes to this certain martyr. He begs that his fellow comrade, who is in extreme pain be taken to the back first. VVhen the little white stretcher retu1'ns, it finds a soldier saint with glazed eyes. -KATHRYN XVEBB, '30. THE STORM The surf poured in rollers upon the rocks, The ships tossed to and fro beside the docks, Great Waves of foam shot down the strand, The gurgling, splashing and roaring were terrifieally grand. Women and children had gathered upon the sand, And were gazing fearfully away from the land, As they gazed a boat was seen to dash, Upon a sand ridge with a crash. They screamed and ran wildly away from the foam, Ran to the shelter and warmth of home, But still the storm raged on and on, And did 110t stop 'til the coming of dawn. The dawn was greeted by a sight, Which showed all the sailors in their plight, The sunrise blazed forth in all its glo1'y, But the sea had devoured the sailors, brave and hoa1'y. -DOROTHY HAMMOND, '31. Winthrop High School 31 BASKET BALL The hall was hot, and crowded, too, The players were having a restg The referee was firm, yet not too hard, And both teams were trying their best. The score was tied, just fourteen all, A minute more to play, As down the hall I swiftly ran, Feeling very joyous and gay. For before me now the goal I saw, To fail would seal our fate, A pair of arms reached out too soon, And then again too late. They could not stop me, though they tried, I held myself from all, And so before the time was up, I had thrown in the ball. The time was up: the game was Wong Ours the victorious team, But oh, Alasl when I awoke, I found it only a dream. -MARY KUS, '29, THE VENGEANCE OF PILAR A bluish vapor covered the earth. A few small clouds floated slow- ly across the heavens. The ringing of church bells could be heard faint- ly through the fog. The herd of oxen stopped near the river. NVhile the herdsmen, dressed in patched capes, chatted in a circle, the great beasts went into the clear water. Sometimes a few would leave the watering place and gaze into the distance where the peaceful village slept. Suddenly the Angelus was heard vibrating in the calm air. Night fell luminous and serene. A dark form appeared at the farther end of the landscape. The herd then started toward an opening at the side of a building. The deep voice ot' a man arose as he counted the animals. VVith th-e creaking of a rusty iron lock, the farmer barrieaded the heavy gate. He then ap- proached a still form sitting in the corner of the yard and said: Come, supper is ready. The two set off for a half-open door through which could be heard the elatter of moving dishes, laughs and loud voices. Upon entering the large kitchen, the farmer's companion took off a cape of coarse cloth. She was a woman or rather a child. She was small, deformed and un- attractive. God had, however, given to this poor creature wonderful eyes. Their dark, velvet-like pupils, almost too large, beautified the suf- fering figure. 32 XVinthrop Winner The household of the farm was seated around a large oak table. The farmer 's wife pointed out a Vacant place to the lame girl. t'Sit down there, Pilar. lt seems to me you could have come in sooner. Do not let this happen again. However, she added. that is your own business., If you had delayed a little longer, you would not have had any supper. Now hurry and eat your share. The girl set her crutch in the corner and sat down at tl1e tabl.e She first traced a small cross on her forehead, lips and bosom, and remained motionless a few moments with bowed head. When she was ready to begin her meal, the poor child noticed that her portion had disappeared. Antonio, the farmer 's youngest son, looked at her sneeringly. Two large tears came to Pilar 'S eyes. She was not crying because her supper had disappeared, but the boy 's hatefulness made her very sad. The farm- er's wife noticed this scene and cried in a shrill voice: Ah, here is my beautiful senorita who amuses herself in the pas- ture, comes in an hour later than usual and keeps us waiting. We had the goodness to save her share and she shows her gratitude by her cheerful- ness. Good! The princess is very religious. Go to your room and do not dare to leave it this evening. Hurry! The lame girl grew very pale and tried to get up but her weary legs could not support the weight of her body. The poor child fell back o11 the bench. VVell,l' cried Ramon, did you hear? Are you going to fall from weakness now 'Z By a supreme effort Pilar got up. Slowly she started toward the corner to get her crutch. Antonio jumped up, pushed the girl, got the crutch and fled. Pilar stopped and murmured sadly: You know that I can 't go up the stairs without my crutch, Antonio. Please give it to me. Give it to her and let her go! shouted Ramon. The boy gave a savage cry and with ai strong arm threw the stick, which whistled through the air and landed on Pilar's forehead. The girl fell in a heap. While the farmhand raised the still form, Ramon approached his son and son: Very good, Antonio, very good ! The farmer's wife added, 4' You will be a great lad in a few years. Stretched out on her straw bed, in a little room where air and light penetrated with. difficulty, Pilar dreamed. She saw again her sad in- fancy as a poor orphan scorned everywhere because of her lameness, then her entrance at Ramon 's house as a shepherdess and the continual Winthrop High School 33 tortures she had undergone in this dwelling. Antonio pursued her ev- erywhere with his sarcasm. The young girl closed her eyes and let her head fall on the hard pil- low. The cut on her temple hurt cruelly. Her face burned, thirst tor- mented her and her ears ached horribly. She tried to reach the jug of water near her bed, but she was too weak. A sharp pain passed through her head and woeful moans escaped her lips, dry with fear. Suddenly Pilar straightened up, and listened. Tearing cries came from the kitchen. By a supreme effort th-e girl got up, put on her coarse wrap, seized her crutch and leaned her trembling body against the wall. After suffering numberless agonies, she finally reached the kitchen. Heavens, what was she seeing? A mass of fire was bounding over the floor. Through the flames she saw a face overcome with pain, the face, tl1e eyes of Antonio. A terrible temptation came to her. She would go back to her room and say she had heard nothing. Tomorrow evening, that evening her tormenter would be dead. What a dream! She would be avenged. Then suddenly, with a great cry, she rushed forward, crossed the kitchen, threw her cloak over the flames and finally extinguished them. Antonio was saved. His clothes no longer burned. The boy fell, faint- ing, to the floor. Pilar in her turn felt the iiames devouring her. She finally succeed- ed in putting them out by rolling on the floor. She then regained her room, horribly burned. Her strength was exhausted. Atrocious pains crossed her body. The child fell on her bed. For an hour she endured unspeakable tortures, for an hour sh-e groaned, cried and begged for death as a deliverance. Soon her sufferings subsided. A cooling fresh- ness passed through her body. She seemed to be enjoying a calm sleep. Suddenly her body stiffened, her features relaxed. She did not hear the cries in tl1e kitchen, hurried steps on tl1e stairs, sobbing voices which moaned, Forgive, forgve I She did not feel trembling lips kiss her hands which were growing colder. Ramon, Antonio, you can laugh. She is in a place where mockeries no longer follow her. The sun places the halo of a martyr on her fore- head. Pilar is avenged. -AURARE M.

JET, OUR caow Somewhere in the Great VVoods flies a shining black crow, wearing a silver chain around his leg. That is our crow, Jet. It has been seventeen years since he came hopping up the walk and into the house to pause at the door with a polite little greeting, but even yet, when the door stands open on warm spring days, we think we see in the bar of sunshine that strikes across the threshold a sudden flicker of a black shadow, but it is always gone when we look closely. He was rained down to us when I was a little girl. I did not believe at first that he had been rained down, but father finally succeeded in convincing me. It was a terrible rain, I remember, one that brought the NVinthrop High School 35 Republican River roaring through our valley fields. When father came in from the valley, where he had been watching the flood, he brought with him an ugly little thing that opened its mouth so wide sometimes that you could not see it at all. 'tlt rained down last night, father ex- plained. We found him under tl1e tree. So you can see from the beginning Jet was not an ordinary crow. lVe used an oatmeal box for his nest. We dug up nearly every angleworm on the farm that summer. There were 110t enough left to raise one can of fishing worms for tl1e next season. VVe estimated that it took eight hundred feet of angle worms to satisfy Jet. Jet always hated our hired man, Lee, possibly because Lee teased him so much. Everything Jet didn't eat he would store away. Father would put a bare foot into a rubber boot he had left on the back steps, but suddenly withdraw it, and reaching into the toe would pull out a chicken bone, a crust of cake and several grains of corn. We soon learned never to put on anything without first looking into its inner- most depths. The real way to win Jet was to give llllll some money for his bank. He had a little iron sheep about three inches long, with a slit in the top of his head for receiving small change. Every once in a while he took stock of his finances. He would lift the heavy little sheep by the hind leg and shake the money out. If at last a coin was stubborn about com- ing out, he would set the sheep on its legs again and lay an eye to the slot and look in. Then he would resume his shaking until the last pen- ny was out of the box, if it took him all day. He was afraid to go to bed by himself. He slept in the henhouse, and it was dark in there. So mother would stoop low, hold out a finger for l1i1n to hop upon, and carry him tenderly to his roost. He would peck every hen within the radius of a foot until she moved over. He wanted no hens huddling up to him. One day mother did not come to put Jet to bed. He could 11ot find her anywhere. He waited on the back steps for her until late in the night, then fell asleep where he sat. The next morning when he went into the living room, he saw a 11ew clothes basket covered with a little pink blanket. Beneath the coverlet slept a tiny new pet. Well, from that time on the l1u1na11 baby did get the most attention, 1 suppose, but just the same, in our big black family Bible, where deaths, births and marriages are recorded, where old rose leaves and clippings are treasured, we keep one shining black feather. -Viola Brawn, '31.

John Paul Jones will take the affirmative and Daniel Webster the negative alld I'1l be the judge, he continued, as he gazed upon his best friend, Tom, who was lying at the doorway sunning himself. Tom, stop your purring. Do you think we can debate with all that noise? Well, I guess not. You 're a good cat and all that but you don 't know how to debate. It takes education to know how to do that. Mr, Daniel Webster, you may speak first. Animals don it think because they haven 't got anything to think about. They have got- They ain't. They have because--. There 's Tom, out there in the sun. If he didn 't think he wouldn't know that the sun was warm like it is. Oh, shut up. Anybody'd know that. Even my baby sister. But that don 't prove that animals don 't think, replied the sup- posed Mr. Jones. We ain't debatin' whether they think or not. We 're debatin' if they reason. ' 'What is reason then 'Z ' ' Reason is to call to account, answered Henry from the diction- ary. Oh, that ain't right. You'll never make a debater if you can't even read straight. Let me see it. Here it is. 'Reason is that guiding or directing f-f-faculty of the mind by virtue of which men are distin- guished from the lower animals. ' There, animals don't reason,', said the imaginary Mr. VVebster. Well, people don 't neither, then, was the reply. They do, pointing to the dictionary, it says they do. They don't 'cause when the horses ran away from Pop and har- rowed the oatpiece, Pop didn it reason out that the oats would grow fast- er like they did. The horses did though, 'cause that 's why they did it. The horses didn 't reason out l1ow much air there is on the earth like the man that writes our school books. What does horses want to know how much air there is for? They want the oats to grow big, though, so there 'll be more of 'e1n. Horses are dumbells.

We 'll shed o'er you full many a tear. The first activity of the student body of Winthrop High School, this year, was the Annual Freshman Reception. Tendered by all the upper classes, this welcome to our group of new students was most im- pressing. Of course the boys had to undergo certain trials, but-they got revenge when they brought measles into the school. CMeas1es are so prevalent among childrenlb. But to get back to the reception,- speeches were made by the Froshg poems dedicated to different members of the incoming class were read and enjoyed, the freshmen displayed an unusual amount of Terpsichorean ability, to the great delight of the on- lookersg and then, we always did believe in saving the best till the last, Mildred Brawn drew some very interesting sketches of our green friends. Refreshments were served and an enjoyable evening was re- ported by all Cexcept the Freshmanj. On November 8, 1928, the Athletic Association of VV. H. S. held a social at the Town Hall. A program was presented which included songs, instrumental presentations, readings and Fifteen Minutes of 42 Winthrop Winner Magic. A social dance followed the program. Music was furnished by members of the student body assisted by Mr. Dan Godfrey. The pro- ceeds, which were rather good, went toward the new basket ball equip- ment. The twenty-first Annual Older Boy 's and Young Men 's Conference under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A., demands a place in our paper, because of the number of NV. H. S. students, who attended. The Con- ference was held in Portland, in the early part of December. It was, as usual, extremely interesting and inspiring. Worthy of mention is the fact that Dr. Henry H. Crane came from Scranton, Pennsylvania, for the expness purpose of addressing the Conference. Those attending from Winthrop High were: Paul Holmes, Mayland Cram, Dwight Ing- ham, Philo Hewett, Maurice Woodward, Charles Thomas, Irving House, Allen Pratt and Winthrop Clement. This winter has been so green , that the HW. H. S. Outing Club has not carried on many activities. The spirit of the club, however, has not died out, and as soon as we had snow enough, we went on a hike. All roads led to Holmes, and at noon hot clogs, rolls and hot coffee were served to about twenty-tive members of VV. H. S. students and alumni. A carnival was held, out on the Narrows Pond, in which ski and Snowshoe races were participated in. No medals were awarded, but everyone received a compensation in the fun he had. A hastily c011- structed ski chute and a well built ski jump furnished entertainment for many. The party broke up in the late afternoon and a weary but happy group threaded its way through the Woods, thenceback to town. During the fall term the Crowell Publishing Company sponsored a salesmanship contest in the school. The school was divided into two teams, the Red and the Blue and a contest ensued. Prizes of VVahl pens and Eversharp pencils were awarded to those students who sold the greatest number of magazine or- ders. A large number of magazines was sold and the percentage profit was turned over to the athletic association to help defray the expenses of the new equipment for the basket ball teams. Winthrop High School 43 During the school year of 1928 and ,29 tl1e students of VV. H. S. have enjoyed several addresses by men from outside the school, among v hieh are the following: Rev. C. F. Sargent, The Boy Who Made Good-James Garfield. Mr. Milton Schlagenhauf, The Rational Choice of a Vocation. Rev. Arthur Jones, How to be Popular. Supt. W. F. Packard, National Education Week. Mr. Francis Bate, Democracy Rev. H. F. Aldrich, Observation , Elimination , and Concen- tration. ' ' Mr. H. Clair Miller, The R-ed Cross. Rev. F. W. Smith, Wziterville, Maine, Prohibition, Among other special assembly programs were included, piano solo, Bertha Cram, Musical Program, school orchestra, a11d a program of nov- elty music by the Sophomore Songsters. Friday evening, March 22, the seniors presented their play, The College Chap, directed by Mrs. Lottie York. The play was given very well before an appreciative audience that nearly filled the hall. The re- sults were quite satisfying and repaid the seniors for the efforts they mad-e in order to give a play that would meet with tl1e approval of the public. The cast was as follows: Elijah Gooding, a village product ...... ...... J ohn Davis Seth Hinds, just as tired ................. . . .Forrest Leavitt Art Wimpcl, chief of Occidental Hotel ............ ..... M orris Towle Samuel Crane, proprietor of the Occidental .......... ...... R obert Fleury Stan Clay, promoter of the Jay I. C. Trolly Line .... ........

G wendolyn Brown Mrs. Heziah Jenks, of the Chester Culture Club ....... ............. I louise Hewett Miss M. E-eyinour, secretary of the Chester Culture Club .......... Frances Edwards Two specialties coached by Mr. Huckins added much to the even- ing's entertainment. The Sophomore Songsters consisting of Fleury, House, Nedza, Thomas, and accompanied by Clement, appeared between the first and second act. Safety Razors First was a very amusing Negro dialogue acted by Davis and Leavitt, both boys taking their parts 44 Winthrop Winner very cleverly. Leavitt attracted much attention by his droll speech and comical antics. A dance followed the play. A good evening was re- ported by all in attendance, and last, but not least, the gate receipts were pleasing. The honor parts of tl1e class of 1929 were announced by Principal Leroy Huckins at chapel exercises Friday morning, March 22. Aurarc Fontaine having the highest rank for four years, was awarded the vale- dictory 5 Helen Beatty with the second highest, the salutatory 5 the honor essay was awarded Everett Harrington, and the class history to Mary Kus. The remaining class parts will be assigned by vote of the class. At the district, finals held in Augusta, Monday evening, March 25, Winthrop Clement, '30, brought honor to Winthrop High School by winning the first prize in the oratorical contest sponsored by the Port- land Press Herald. Other high schools represented were Waterville High, Cony High, Oakland High, Gardiner High and Skowhegan High. The prize consists of twenty-five dollars in gold and a gold medal. It also entitles the winner to speak at the state contest held in Portland in April, to compete for the state prize. ln October and again in November, Winthrop High School received two new typewriters. The first pair was accompanied by a Rotospeed duplicator. At last our commercial department is gaining. Many stu- dents are availing themselves of this new opportunity, and, although we have no regular typewriting teacher, through the books, sent with the machines, and with Mr. Huckins' help, we have saved quite a consider- able amount of money on the school paper. Several who are taking it as a regular subject have acquired quite a degree of proticiency. f KIRIN LXNRI l BXII llXNl1'l'H P X 5 11511 'E r- ',.L','m'- wr. ' . I 1' ' 'Q ,.

School and its regular work comes first and for that reason alone we have never played more than one game a week. Some will re-call that three years ago the High School Athletic As- sociation was i11 debt to the extent of about twenty-tive dollars. Since that time athletics have been put upon a paying basis. This year it was advisable to equip both the boys and the girls with new suits. This was done at an expense of about one hundred and seventy-five dollars. The bill was promptly paid, and at the present writing we have about seven- ty dollars in our treasury. Vlle did not make any special appeal to the people, but the splendid way in which they have patronized our games deserves only the highest words of eommendation. CAbout three hun- dred and fifty attended tl1e Hallowell gamej. We are very grateful for sueh whole-hearted cooperation. BOYS' BASKET BALL The season from the standpoint of games won and lost could not be considered very successful. However, that is not the only basis for suc- cess. The boys labored under difficulty all the season and in spite of it made a fair showing. With vaccinations, sickness, and injuries, many of the squad were kept from the regular practice sessions. At the beginning of the season Captain Abelli, Laughlin and Fleury were the only letter men available. New material was broken in and the boys played hard, fast basket ball all the season. 48 Winthrop Winner The following will give a brief summary of the year 's work: Following are the scores of the games played by the boys: Dec. 14 Winthrop 15 New Gloucester 22 Dee. 21 Winthrop 6 New Gloucester 31 Jan. 4 Winthrop Sabattus 15 Jan. 11 Winthrop Oakland 54 Jan. 18 Winthrop Richmond 9 Jan. 25 Winthrop Richmond 23 Feb. 1 Winthrop Alumni 12 Feb. 8 Winthrop Hallowell 17 Feb. 15 Winthrop Hallowell 20 Total, Winthrop 174 Opponents 20:1 INDIVIDUAL SCORES Floor Foul Total Goals Goals Points Charles Gordon, right forward .. .... 22 5 49 Irving House. center .......... .... 1 6 6 38 .Tohn Nedza, left forward . ...... .... 1 6 6 38 Richard Laughlin, right guard .... ..

Morris Towle, Capt.-Elect Thomas Kus, Irving House, John Nedza, Charles Go1'don, Richard Laughlin. GIRLS' BASKET BALL VVith a record such as the girls have established, there is very little need for an explanation. In the past three years it will be recalled that the girls have lost only four games. All of these four were away from home and three on the three division fioor. This bespeaks the good work of the team. This year was no exception to this splendid showing, with a total of ten victories and one loss. Victories over such teams as Hallowell, Oak- land, and Bliss College evidence the type of opposition encountered. The girls lost all three regular guards of last year's team. Thus it became necessary to develop a new set of backs, Captain-elect NVQ-bb, Avery, Gray and Hammond, all turned in a fine season is work. The forward line composed of Captain Beatty, Kus, and Fontaine worked into a high-scoring combination with 482 points to their credit. Mary Kus with 114 floor goals, 13 fouls and a total, of 241 points, has the highest girl 's score in the state. The summary: Winthrop High School 49 Dec. Winthrop 44 New Gloucester 21 Dee.

We, who are seniors this year, can hardly realize wl1a.t those three words will mean to us in future years. Soon we will be numbered among the alumni and I am sure that every year will make our old school more dear to us. This is indeed a proven fact. When the Alumni Association was formed in August, 1926, only one member of the class of ,26 was present, but two classes which had graduated more than twenty years ago, had every living member present. As we are so soon to become members of the Alumni of W. H. S,. our thoughts naturally turn to a consideration of the achievements of those who have already graduated. We are pleasantly surprised when we realize the places i11 the world which many of our Alumni hold. W. H. S. has at least one representative in nearly all of the profes- sions. Many have been successful, but let us consider briefly a few of those who have brought honor to Winthrop High and. whom we list as outstanding Alumni of the school. 50 Winthrop Winner Carol S. Towle, W. H. S. 1918, graduated from Bowdoin with an A. B. degree in 1922, and received an A. M. degree from Yale in 1923. He taught for three years in the English department at the University of Texas and is now a member of the faculty at Yale College, where he teaches in the English department and is also studying for a Pl1. D. de- gree. Another successful teacher, who is a graduate of W. H. S., is Ezra K. Maxfield, who graduated in 1899. In 1901 he graduated from Co- burn Classical lnstitute, and in 1905 from Colby College. He also took post-graduate courses at Harvard. Dr. Maxfield has taught in Colby, Harvard, and is now head of the English. department at NVashington alltl Jefferson College, Pennsylvania. Many of our alumni have traveled far in the world and could tell us much about the far away lands. Mrs. George Antrim, who graduated at the age of fifteen in 1901, has traveled extensively in the Phillipines and the East. She spent a number of years in China and Japan, a11d in Honolulu, which she says is the beauty spot of the world. Willis K. Bachelder, W. H. S., 1896, taught for a number of years in the Phillipines during the early years of the American rule there and found his experiences in this field of educational work most interesting. There is also Mildred Brown, W. H. S., '21. She graduated from the U. of M. in 1925, and for several years has been Assistant State Club Leader. She is very successful with the boys and girls and is the only W. II. S. student who has ever taken up this line of work. Another outstanding member of our alumni is Dr. Wm. E. Preble W. Il. S. 1892, Kents Hill 1893, Bowdoin, 1898, and Harvard Medical College, 1909. Dr. Preble, after spending sixteen months as interne at Boston City Hospital, opened an office for the practice of medicine in Boston in 1911. For nine years he taught Clinical Medicine at Tufts Medical School and for six years was Physician-in-Chief at the Boston Dispensary, resigning both of these positions in 1925. He is now an im- portant figure in his profession, being consulting physician at Boston Dispensary, Somerville- Hospital, Boston State Hospital, Forsythe In, firmary, Boston, Woonsocket, R. I. Hospital, Ayer, Mass. Hospital and Special Lecturer in Department of Hygiene, Wellesley College. Bow- doin College conferred the honorary degree of Dr. of Science upon Dr. Preble in 1926 for research work. Perhaps the most famous of our alumni and certainly the one whose rise in the world of science is the greatest inspiration to all to persevere is Dr. Daniel Russell Hodgedon, Sc. P., J. D., LL. D. He graduated from W. H. S. just twenty-five years ago this June. There were only Winthrop High School 51 five members in the class of 1904, and as they bent perplexed faces over their books of science, none of them realized that one day students of Winthrop High would prepare their science lessons from a text book written by Dr. Hodgedon. After graduation in 1904, Dr. Hodgedon continued his studies at Bates College. He also went to tl1e U. of M. and did post graduate work at Columbia and New York Universities. For twenty years or more he has done research work on foods and is es- tablished as an authority on all questions of diet. In 1916 he conducted a series of experiments on penny candy at Newark, New Jersey. He started the College of Engineering at Newark and later became presi- dent of Hahnemenn Medical College and Hospital of Chicago. He lec- tured extensively on Chautauqua and has been identified with the Pure Food movement for many years. He' broadcasts daily from station W. A. B. C. from 5 to 5:30. One other notable fact which a careful reading of our alumni brings to our attention is the increasing number of graduates from our families of foreign extraction. For many years the children from these fami- lies seldom attended school beyond the grammar grades. In 1912, Nellie Drapeau was the first to receive a diploma from Winthrop High, and she was also valedictorian of her -class. In 1914, Helena M. Bissonette graduated as valedictorian of her class and two years later William Dos- tie was the Hrst French boy to graduate, he being also valedictorian. In 1923, Carl Lindholm had the distinction of being the first child of Swed- ish parents to graduate. Mary Skomro, W. H. S., '25, was the first Polish graduate. Our class has the best record, however. We are not only the largest class ever to graduate from Winthrop High, but we have the honor of having the first Italian graduate, one Polish and four French boys and girls. This is indeed a record to which we shall point with pride until some class betters it. In view of these facts, I cannot help but wonder as I look about me, who, among the students of Winthrop High. today, will in the future years be numbered among the outstanding members of this school. 52 Winthrop Winner THE ALUMNI AND THEIR WORKS We have made an effort to go back twenty-ive years.

ABE AND ANNA Abe Wells, a close relative of Ink Wells, was walking down Fifth Avenue in New York when he saw a young lady in the midst of the traf- fic, who seemed to have stalled her car. He immediately sprang to her aid and drove her car safely through the city. Thus began the destruc- tion of one man. He learned that her name was Anna Flye, a descendant of Horace Flye. Then began Abe's first and last love affair. He began to court Anna. People applied the name Abe and Anna, which became known as A banana, by the younger set. They were crazy over each other. -lust to show how crazy they were, they got married. After being married several months, Abe de- cided to go to work. He secured a job at nine dollars a week, but was fired after the first day. His wife by this time was disgusted and left him. She obtained a position in a telephone company. A week later Abe met her on the street and spoke to her. She did not answer. CJust like other telephone operatorsj Finally he got a job in a candy factory and he arrived there in time to find the job taken. As he left the- firm, he slipped on a piece of candy and hit his head on the sink. Then followed a sinking spell. He was taken to the hospital and his wife returned to him. After Abe got well, he had an oifer of a job at 2512 per week and an- other at 318 per week. After careful deliberation, he decided to take the one for 3512, because he would not lose so much money if he were fired or was sick. By this time another battle was raging. They began it on Fifth Avenue and walked along, talking as they went. So absorbed in battle were they that they walked across Brooklyn bridge, going to- ward Brooklyn! In the middle of the bridge they stopped and finished the quarrel. Abe went toward Brooklyn 3 Anna toward New York. Thus originated our now famous sundae called, A Banana Split, from thc words, Abe and Anna split. SONG HITS M. Brawn-- All for the Love of Mike. G.
