MARJORIE GAYLE WEST Athletic — that’s the word to describe Marjorie. Her ability as an athlete is surpassed only by her ability for making friends. VERNON BROOKS WHITLEY Because Vernon is rather quiet, we don’t know much about him but he is very well liked by those who do know him. He is athletically inclined. HAL GILBERT WILLIAMS To find a pal, go to Hal, and such a pal as Hal exceeds any gal. If Opportunity only knocksonce, Hal will be awake.

DOROTHY MORRIS SPICER Manager Girls’ Senior Basketball Team “Listen to her rave,” is a favorite expression of those who are acquainted with Dot. How she can talk! However, it is not just mere chatter, but is often full of wit and wisdom. RUSSELL WAYLAND “Buck” has for three seasons starred on the cinder path. He possesses an unusually large amount of pluck, which accounts for his being one of the best milers and half-milers in the State. horror 3Roll □ □ dward Bernard I.earv V aledictorian Elsie Graham Clements Salutatorian □ □ Jean Lowe Elwood Rlthven Major Evelyn Young Averitt Henry William McKenzie, J Bertha Evelyn Freedman Anna Barr Hesketh Ann Virginia Askew Kathryn Forrest Willie Hortense Savage Jeannette Lee Duling Eleanor Howland Dashiell Elizabeth Mae Taylor Gertrude Anna Green Helen Dorman Haines Class iPoem Some sav that school day mem’ries are the better part of life, And should be cherished ever in the heart, For they always bring us solace in sorrow or in strife, And cause the saddest shadows to depart. Our Class of ’‘■27 very truly can assert, W e’ve much to make the future glad and gay, For as the years slipt past us we’ve all been most alert, Storing mem’ries with bright pictures of each day. Quite modestly we say it, that our aims have been the best, Over stones we’ve sometimes stumbled in the road, But we’ve bravely tried to pass them and have tried to meet the test, That we might not blot our high school’s honored code. We hear the Future calling now quite clearly, one and all, We must heed that beckoning hand of mystery, Let us steadily and gladly hear the pleading of that call, And be worthy of our school’s fair history. Let our memories ever honor Wilson’s standards, Truth and Right, May our deeds reflect the glory of her fame, May our standards and ambitions lead us in the paths of light, To bring credit and more honour to her name.

The Department of Public Service upholds the dignity and morale of the school, maintains cleanliness, creates and maintains higher ideals among the students. The Department of Traffic regulates traffic in the halls, auditorium, and library. The Lunch Room Department promotes cleanliness and order in the cafeteria and halls. RESULT — A fine school spirit, co-operation and sense of responsibility among the students at large, improvements in the appearance of the school and the grounds and enlightenment of the public opinion are the results of student participation in the school government at Wilson. CONCLUSION — What once was an experiment has at last become a suc- cessful reality. padd STUDENT COUNCIL ®f) e H tutient WOODROW WILSON HIGH SCHOOL PORTSMOUTH, VA., JUNE, 1927 SCHOOL WEEKLY ANNOUNCES POLICY As the weekly organ of the stu- dent body of the Woodrow Wilson High School, “The Student” al- ways endeavors to give a clear, accurate, and impartial account of all the happenings of school life and topics interesting to the school as a whole. Its policy is to print only clean, correct matter, to misrepresent no one and to treat all persons and questions fairly. The purpose in addition to the aforementioned facts is to provide a motive for writing among the students, to advertise the school in the home and community, and to create an understanding of and sympathy for education. With this aim in view the staff which is selected from those of the best scholastic standing and writ- ing ability is able to print a news- paper which is a credit to itself and the school. ADVANTAGES OF A SCHOOL PAPER “Practically every high school ot accredited standing knows that a newspaper serves as a spirited and interesting voice of the school activities,” admitted the editor- in-chief in a recent interview. “It develops a spirit of co-operation among the students, for its suc- cess is due to the spirit shown in the response of the student body in making the paper representa- tive of the school. It develops school spirit. In co-operating with the staff, the spirit of participating in school activities is developed to the extent it arouses interest in all school life. It aids the English usage of each student, for it in- “THE STUDENT” REVALS ITS HISTORY How few pupils know the his- tory of our newspaper, “The Stu- dent.” In 1906 a staff was or- ganized, for the purpose of pub- lishing a magazine, with Mr. J. H. Saunders, who is now superin- tendent of Newport News City Schools, as faculty advisor. This magazine was called “The Stu- dent” and the teachers were its chief contributors. For some un- known reason the publication ceased after a short trial. In 1912 Mr. L. G. White, now member of the City Council, or- ganized a staff and renewed the publication. This was a big re- sponsibility for the student body, for there were only 304 students in the entire school. “The Student” then became a literary magazine attractively bound in the school colors and published monthly. The June issue partook the nature of the year book in that it reflected the work and record of the Senior Class. In 1922 the form was changed from a monthly magazine to a weekly newspaper sponsored by the English Department. Con- sequently in this change “The President” as a separate publica- tion had its origin. In recent years “The Student” has steadily progressed, for it grew from a three column four- page issue to a five column in 1923-24, and in 1926 it became a six-page issue under the direction of Misses Devilbiss and Timber- lake as faculty advisors. creases his vocabulary, improves his spelling and punctuation and causes his style to be more inter- esting and pleasing.” 1926-27 A GREAT YEAR AT WILSON During the school term of 1926- 27 thirty issues of “The Stulen t” were printed. Beginning the schol- astic year with the first issue in September, “The Student” was issued each week until June 2. The paper this year was a four col- umn, six page, publication with special editorial, sport, and liter- ary sections. The feature edition of the term was the special eight page football number which contained one and three-quarter pages of pictures, individual write-ups, and summary of games played by the Champion Presidents. A special Christmas number and 4B Class edition in February were above the average. The latter contained a three- quarter page picture of the mid- year graduates as well as several novel articles by members of the class. The three issues previous to the Senior Mid-Year Produc- tion were also unusually attractive. “THE STUDENT” IN A NUTSHELL A paper just full of school news A paper which you can’t refuse That’s what “The Student” is!

Cast of Characters: Mary, Hazel — Members of the Dramatic Club. (Con- versation before a Dramatic Club meeting during the term of 1927-28). Mary: Oh, Hazel! Don’t you hope the club will be as good this year as it was last? Hazel: Sure do. Wasn’t that a wonderful year for dramatics, though! “Mrs. Bumpstead-Leigh” was one of the best plays ever given at Wilson. Every- body says so. Ma ry: Yes, and the idea of having monthly meetings and putting on a one-act play each time was a real inspiration — Hazel: It gave everybody a chance, and surely brought out some good talent. Mary: You bet. And aren’t you glad we have so many of those actors here this year! Hazel: Surely. But do you know who I think deserves the most credit for last year’s success? Mary: Who? I think I can guess — Hazel: Miss Dashiell! Mary: Of course. I don’t care how much talent there is in a club, it won’t be of much use unless there is someone who knows how to use it — Hazel: Well, she knows, all right, and we were surely lucky to have her as director. Mary: I’ll say so. And with her help we ought to make this year’s club even better than last — Hazel: Sure we can. Mary: Well, here’s hoping! ©istipuli Snticiuorum T O the most illustrious Marcus Tullius Cicero — Greetings: With mine own hand do I write you these few words of the affairs of the Discipuli Anti- quorum in the year when Coolidge was President. A very successful year we have had. Of Mythology, correspondence, and travel in Rome, we have studied, and our minds we have refreshed, at times, with music. In behalf of the club of the last year, the beautiful painting, “Captive Andro- mache,” to the Discipuli Antiquorum has been presented. In order that the students of our school might better acquainted become with the customs, dress, and your fatherland in general, the children of the ancient presented to them “The Last Days of Pompeii.” Even as I watched the scenes in the Senate, I imagined you there, delivering your famous orations. 1 wish it had been so. On this the Kalends of March, Cicero, Late. He Certle Jfrantais T HE FRENCH CLLIB of the Woodrow Wilson High School presented a moving picture called “The Grand Duchess and the Waiter.” The pro- duction was a success, and from the proceeds the club has purchased several pictures by famous French artists for the classroom. The club has had ten regular monthly meetings this year which were all well attended. A great deal of interest has been shown towards the club. At the monthly meetings there have been different types of programs presented, some of which were: Musical program in which French composers were studied, a dramatized scene from “Sans Famille,” a presentation of “L’lllustre Dupinchil,” a study of Jeanne D’Arc. In April the club presented to the entire student body at the thiity minute period a one act play, “Joan the Maid,” which is a true legend of Joan of Arc. Joan’s own words were used in the play. is pam£rt) Clutj Panquet ENOR JOSE RIESI RA, Mexican Consul to Norfolk, was the guest of honor at a banquet given Thursday evening, December 16 , at the Woodrow Wilson High School, by the Spanish Club. The hall was uniquely and effectively decorated with large flags of the American Republics, pine and palms. The table centerpiece consisted of small silk flags of the twenty-one American Republics. Silver candlesticks with red candles com- pleted the table arrangement. The toastmaster of the evening wa s Henry MacKenzie, who served most ably. Between courses the following program was given: Invocation — Mr. F. T. Briggs, President of the School Board. Welcome to guests — William Rountree. Response — Mr. J. Leon C ' odd, Principal of the High School. “Primaveral,” poem, was recited by Elsie Clements, wearing a mantilla and high comb, who was accompanied by Mr. King on the violin and Elizabeth Taylor, piano. “La Paloma” was sung by Virginia Robertson, Mary Robertson, Emily Busby, Catherine Markham, Julia Pendergraph, Elizabeth Harwood and Elsie Clements, accompanied by Herbert Stewart on the piano. These girls were grouped and wore Spanish shawls which lent much color to the occasion. The principal address was given by Senor Riestra, who was introduced by Mr. H. A. Hunt, Superintendent of Schools. Senor Riestra portrayed very vividly Mexico of yesterday and to-day. He spoke of Mexico as being the gateway to the people of Central and South America and as a leader in the New World Republics of Latin America, the curse of the country being recurrent revolutions. Mexico owes her national advancement to the school teacher who has learned from the life and the needs of the people. He said that his countrymen avoided the ugly in pose, gesture, garb or decoration, hence their proverbial picturesque- ness. Alice Stewart, dressed in Spanish costume, rendered a beautiful solo in Spanish, “Preguntale a las Estrellas,” accompanied by Herbert Stewart. The concluding number on the program was a Victrola record in Spanish, “Greetings to the Latin American Republics,” by S. M. King Alfonso XIII, of Spain. Music was furnished by Frank Blow’s Orchestra and a part of the High School Orchestra. Those present besides Senor Riestra, were a number of the High School Faculty, Presidents of both the Latin and French Clubs, and members of the Spanish Club. This banquet, though the first ever given by the club, was one of the most inspiring and educational affairs ever held in Wilson’s halls.

Joseph Bowen William Rountree, Allen Carr Hanier Hiterarp ibotfefp T HE activities of the Lanier Literary Society, one of the oldest organizations of the school, have been varied and interesting throughout the past year. An outstanding activity of the club was the participation of its mem- bers in the inter-scholastic debates, the subject for which as issued by the University of Virginia, was “Resolved, That the Short ballot, as advocated by Governor Byrd, should be adopted.” Much interest was also aroused in the Reading and Public Speaking Contests, and the Society was well represented in these phases of literary efforts. The Woodrow Wilson and Lanier Literary Societies jointly presented a motion picture, entitled “A Connecticut Yankee, at the Court of King Arthur,” in the Auditorium on March 31st. The “grand finale” of the Lanier Calendar was presented in the form of an interesting social program. Shakespearean ismcfetp “Oh, Julia, have you heard?” “No, heard what?” “About the Shakespearean Society.” “Aw, I never did like old clubs and societies — they are all dry.” “Now you are talking nonsense. Listen! The Shakespearean Society is the best for all Sophomores. “We make a study of Shakespeare, and this year we dramatized ‘The Taming of the Shrew.’ The society puts on plays, pictures and debates. Our colors are green and white. Our motto is ‘To Thine Own Self be True,’ and we live up to it, too. The refreshment committee always serves delicious refreshments, which we all enjoy. “Now, Julia, what is your impression of the Shakespeareans?” “Well, I guess it’s all right, but do you really do all these things?” “Sure we do, and more than that.” “Oh! I almost forgot to tell you. If you are a true Shakespearean and live up to the standards of the Society, you will get a letter to wear.” “Say, I believe I will join, I will be a Sophomore in June, can I join?” “Aw, don’t ask me riddles; sure you can join.” “3 Jfool’S JfoUtes” OOL’S FOLLIES,” were you in it? or did you merely sit and watch it? Whichever it was it was wonderful, wasn’t it? I’ll never forget the bored look on Jack’s face and “Jitney” — well she certainly was Foolish! We found out something about pawn shops, too, and the Russian climate must have a bad effect on the nerves or temper. Anyway, the way William did fall for Virginia — and the time they had getting those duelling pistols. Oh gee! and it’s all over. Why it makes my heart break. Oh — and do you remem- ber the “Patent Leather Steppers” — weren’t thev the berries though, and the hours spent getting those steps — whew! The back drop for the snow scene ever more than set off those dancers. Oh gee! Every time I think about the Spanish scene it makes me sad — why I go home and ' play “In a Little Spanish Town” by the hours! and “Take In The Sun” wasn’t so bad, either — and now it’s all over. We did work sorta hard, but then look at the fun we got out of it! The “venders” costumes were cute, awfully — didn’t you think so? And then the Juniors were there in all their glorv. The poor dears stood around for half an hour and then ran their legs off carrying people up the aisle. It was rather long Friday. night, but they cut it for Saturday and it went off with a bang! It’s too bad everybody didn’t come on Saturday. The orchestra kept things humming during the intermission, and oh boy, those Dixies, they sure did taste good to ourselves! Absolutely, Wyatt Mapp in the “Cafe Featherweight” was a scream! He looked like he felt a “drawft” in his little finger. The Restauranters really had the softest job of all! Eating all the pie — much bread and lettuce to take up space and look like a whole lot! And did you notice the wine in the “Boor”? That was honest-go-gosh grape- juice! The genuine article! How would y ou like to be Lady Tootlebawm. Poor dear — she ought to have come down to see that Abe didn’t get cheated out of his health, wealth and hap- piness. But to be serious! The show was a success and it is to Miss Dashiell, Miss Ruth Rodes, Miss Page Fry and Miss Alberta Rodes that credit is due! They worked faithfully, treated our smallnesses largely, and all in all made our play what it was. And so we thank them. FOOL S FOLLIES Club T HE Woodrow ilson Hi-Y Club was one of the first organizations in the school to begin work, holding its first meeting on the opening day of school. Starting with only fifteen members left from last year’s club, the roll was increased to over fifty, which exceeded by approximately fifteen the membership of former clubs. Wekl meetings were held throughout the year, on Monday evenings in the local Y. M. C. A. Under the capable leadership of Allen Carr, club President, and Mr. S. S. Horn, Boys’ Work Secretary, the most diversified anci constructive pro- gram in recent years was carefully planned and carried out. “Life Problems” was selected for the Bible study course. “School Spirit,” “Athletics,” “Gambling,” “Leadership,” “Cheating,” “Decisions for Life,” and “Chivalry to Girl Friends” were representative topics dealt with in the pamphlet. (hi several occasions prominent speakers were secured to address the Hi-Y members at the regular meetings with the slogans of the Hi-Y, “Clean Living,” “Clean Speech,” “Clean Athletics,” and “Clean Scholarship,” as their subject for discussion. Mr. Fred D. Thompson, State Hi-Y Secretary, was the guest of the club at a supper. I he Hi-Y provided a series of monthly talks for the boys of the high school in the school auditorium. The list of speakers included Mr. Fred D. Thompson, Mr. Morse, President of Retail Merchants’ Association, and Mr. C. S. Sherwood, prominent Portsmouth business man. I ' he club had eleven representatives at the Older Boys’ Conference in Lynch- burg, December 3rd, 4th and 5th. This year the meeting being a state conference, members of Hi-Y clubs from all parts of the state were present. Much knowledge that was useful to both the club and the individual was learned. Before the regular session of the conference, the State Hi-Y Club convened. Only those who have received training in a summer Hi-Y camp are eligible for membership. Five of the Portsmouth boys hold membership by virtue of their attendance at Camp Orapax last summer. Under supervision of the Senior club and similar to it in its standards and ideals, a Junior Hi-Y was organized. Members of the new club were selected from Freshman and Sophomore classes. The social program opened with a banquet for the faculty. Other social events included a banquet for the State Championship Football Team, Father and Son Banquet, Hallowe’en party for the Student Club, comic Valentine party given by the Student Club, a hike to Cape Henry on May 13th, Ladies’ Night banquet and the annual final banquet which closed all the activities for the year. t SFuntor emor Panquet CITY AUDITORIUM, MAY 12, 1927 Welcome To the Senior Crew Response Senior Class Song To Skipper Codd . .

A contest was planned and submitted to the registrations by members of the Staff who solicited the subscriptions. The room having the highest per cent of subscribers to the Annual by a certain date was to be rewarded by having a picture in ‘‘The President.” The Senior rooms were excluded from the contest as these subscribe one hundred per cent, thereby placing the lower classes at a disadvantage. The competition was keen between several registrations. Room 213 finally winning by a small margin.

NAVAL HOSPITAL The Presidents kicked off their 1926 football lid with a victory over the Naval Hospital Gobs, 13 to 0. Starting the season with the brightest prospects for a championship team, the Wilsonmen gave Medicos only one first down and played an offensive game throughout, except a few minutes in the third quarter when the Gobs made their only sustained offensive effort. Although playing a great game, the Presidents showed the lack of practice. Phil Spear and Owens showed up best, while Casey, a new man, showed good headwork in running the team and the ball. The line was as good as a stone wall, and the Gobs were unable to pierce it. WILSON VS. HAMPTON Hurrah! The Wilson Presidents started their scholastic season with an easy victory over the Hampton Crabbers, by the score of 26 to 0. When playing on the defensive the Presidents smothered everything the Hampton lads had to offer, and on the offensive the line opened up holes large enough Case: ' 1 ' NEWPORT NEWS $OS£ to drive a horse and buggy through. Phil Spear and Casey gave some brilliant exhibitions of end running, each making big gains around the wings. Owens also made consistent gains through the line. Bob Spear showed up well at halfback. Everett recovered a fumble and ran forty yards for a touchdown in the last quarter. WILSON VS. NEWPORT NEWS In one of the most gruelling battles seen on local lots in a long time, the Presidents and Shipbuilders fought a scoreless tie. Although unable to score, the Presidents displayed a slight edge over their opponents by making seven first downs to the Shipbuilders’ five. After the first few minutes the Wilson line showed itself to be impenetrable, by holding the Newport gridmen for four successive downs, within four yards of the goal line. Casey probably showed up best for the Presidents with the rest of the backline running a close second. The Presidents played on the defensive nearly the whole first half but after that they had things their own way. WILSON VS. SUFFOLK Although playing a ragged game of football, the Presidents displayed enough form to put Suffolk on the short end of the 25 to 0 score. A week of bad weather in which practice was impossible, coupled with the fact that the entire Wilson Varsity was never in the game at any one time, except a few minutes in the third quarter, may account for the bad game the Presidents played. Casey, Rose and Spear showed up best for Wilson in running and passing the ball, while Collier played his best game, so far this season, at center. Griffen and Andrews played best for the Jeffersons. Buddy Owens and Kirshon were the bright lights for the substitutes. WILSON VS. PETERSBURG The Presidents had an easy time with Day’s “Fighting Goobers,” winning 40 to 0. The regulars were only in the game for two quarters and at one time Wilson had an entire backfield of second string men. Petersburg made their best showing in the first quarter, when they held the Presidents scoreless. Phil Spear, Bob Spear and Rose ran the ball around the ends for heavy gains and Owens was good for five or ten yards every time he bucked the line. Carson and Powell were right there whenever the Goobers tried end runs and the rest of the line played a great defensive game. WILSON VS. WILLIAM AND MARY FROSH The next victory chalked up by the Presidents was against the Frosh of William and Mary, the final score being 7 to 0. The Presidents seemed to have an ofF day, taking the ball up to the Frosh’s goal line and then being unable to push it over. Phil Spear, however, came to the rescue, catching a pass heaved by Owens and taking it across the line. Owens, Spear and Everett were the spotlights for Wilson, with the line playing a good game against their opponents’ much heavier one. WILSON VS. U. OF RICHMOND FRESHMEN Not able to score a touchdown in their attempts to rush the ball through the U. of Richmond Freshmen’s line, the Presidents turned to the air, and with Rose hurling the ball with astounding accuracy, defeated the Freshmen 16 to 0. The Presidents crossed their opponents’ goal line twice, each time the man scoring received one ot Rose’s passes. Carson and Bob Spear showed up well on the receiving end of the aerial attack, each scoring a touchdown. The whole Wilson team played a great defensive game. WILSON VS. WESTERN HIGH Uncorking an aerial attack in the second half that completely bewildered the Western gridmen, Champions ot Washington, D. C., the Presidents again scored a victory, by a 33 to 0 score. With Rose hurling the oval, 35 to 45 yards, Casey and Spear on the receiving end, the Presidents have developed a trio of which any team would be proud. The Western gridmen offered little opposition to the Presidents’ line plunges and on the defensive our line smothered everything their adversaries attempted. Rose, Casey, and Phil Spear played stellar football, while the line deserves much credit for the victory. • WILSON VS. MAURY Displaying a powerful offensive and the same effective defensive that had characterized them the whole season, the Presidents chalked up a 12 to 0 victory over the Maury Commodores. Throughout the game the Presidents showed great gaining ability, but they did not score until Owens intercepted a Maury pass and raced 60 yards for a touchdown. A little later Casey nabbed one of Rose’s passes and scored Wilson’s second tally. Owens was, without doubt, the shining light for the Presidents, carrying the ball for big gains, backing up the line, and punting. Casey, Rose, and Spear also showed up well in running the ball and playing on the defensive. The Wilson line, led by Captain Burch, held like a stone wall, throwing the Commodore backs for losses most of the time. WILSON VS. NEWPORT NEWS Again we meet the Shipbuilders, this time in their own back yard, and by staging a superior drive in the second halt the Presidents overwhelmed their opponents. When the smoke had cleared away the Presidents had two touchdowns and the Championship of Eastern Virginia to their credit. Through- out the game the Presidents tried their aerial attack, which was not as effective as usual, but netted them their first touchdown, a Rose to Casey affair. The Wilson second touchdown was the result of line plunges started from midfield. Casey, Owens, Bob and Phil Spear displayed great gaining ability coupled with a fine defense. WILSON VS. ROANOKE Three cheers for the Fighting” Presidents, Champions of Virginia, by virtue of their victory over the Roanoke Magicians, by a one-sided score, 20 to 0. The Magicians were unable to stand the attacks of our tearing backs and powerful line, which worked with telling effect. Phil Spear and Owens played a great game in maneuvering end runs and line plunges, the latter intercepting a pass and running 65 yards for a touchdown. Wilson’s first touchdown came as a result of a pass hurled by Rose with Casey on the receiving end. In the line Starke was outstanding, playing a versatile game. jfoottiaU Jfkn KIRK BURCH, Captain , Guard Kirk’s ability to smear his opponents’ plays, coupled with his excellent offensive and equally good defensive, have made him captain of the team for two successive years. His guarding has been a big factor in Wilson’s great football line. MITT OWENS, Fullback “Jughead” is the surest ground-gainer on the team and never fails to deliver when called upon. His terrible line plunges and defense have done much to uphold the morale of the team. One of his brightest points is punting. PAUL ROSE, Quarterback “Cockey” has shown himself to be a qualified quarterback by the heady manner in which he ran the team. Without doubt the scores in many games would be vastly different, were it not for his great accuracy in passing. PHIL SPEAR, Halfback Phil’s fleetness of foot, ability to tackle and do some very effective clipping have made him a mainstay on the team. Many a time have his opponents tasted the dust off bis heels after he has gotten away, behind a perfect interference. BOB SPEAR, Halfback Bob, although not a regular, was an important part in Wilson’s great machine. He made his greatest bid for glory in the seco nd Newport News game, when his gains started an offensive which brought the first touchdown. A plunger and no mean tackier were his biggest assets. ALFRED CASEY, Halfback Casey, playing his first year on the varsity conducted himself like a veteran. Though be was a good man for end runs, plunges and tackling, the talent at which he excelled was in forward pass receiving. YOCK COLLIER, Center Yock has developed into a center of ex- ceptional ability. His accurate passing and fine defensive work have done much toward making a good team. Knowing how to use his hands has made him an alert tackier. FRANK WILLIAMS, Guard “Weenie’s” splendid playing has resulted in his being a bulwark of strength to the line. Not only was he able to break through the opponents’ line, but he also played a faultless defense. He was characterized by his hard and steady game. HARRY STARKE, Tackle “Starkey” was a linesman of rare ability. His weight and judgment have caused him to be a tower of strength. It is astounding how fast he gets under punts and how aggressive a player he is. CHARLES BROWN, Tackle “Dolly’s” playing this year has been of the highest order. Although he was repeatedly hammered by thrusts, he held his position and gave back many of them with interest. A sure tackier and aggressive player, he contributed much to the team’s success. LOUIS MORLINO, Tackle Louis was another reason why Wilson had such a good team. Always playing the game, good on the offensive and defensive, with the ability to solve his opponents’ tactics, he made himself a necessity to the team. JOHN DILLON, Guard “Nick” made an alternate linesman with ability seldom seen in these parts. A guard right there when it came to give and take, but with him it was mostly give. Fortunately “Nick” will be available next year. TEDDY CARSON, End Teddy has played a faultless brand of football throughout the season. His ability to get under punts, break up plays and get his man is amazing. I.ight, but fast, he was a splendid tackier. PURL POWELL, End Purl, another Cradock man, has completed a season which is highly commendable. A deadly tackier, a good man to smear his opponents’ interference and plays, he had some of the finest football qualities. Purl’s playing was all any one could wish. BOB EVERETT, End “Mugsy” gained his berth on the varsity through his grit and fast thinking. Light on his feet, always playing hard, he was in every play. He had the ability of getting the man who received the punt with astonishing quick- ness. GEORGE MEYERS, Manager George has served as manager this year in an efficient manner. Coming out every afternoon with the squad and spending much time trying to complete a schedule, Wilson owes George many thanks. BASKET MAYO FORWARD DUFFEY rlANAGER KIRSHON GUARD MORLINO FORWARD BASKETBALL TEAM 2 — ■ Wht iPwtf IMP? Basketball WILLIAM AND MARY FROSH The Presidents overwhelmed the William and Mary Frosh in a rapid-moving fracas by the score 40-14. Rose and Morlino proved to be a flashing combine, Rose netting the Presidents 11 points while Morlino rung up 17 points. On the whole the Presidents played in mid-season form, passing and shooting with amazing accuracy. SUFFOLK Going the Suffolk quint one better in all departments of the game, the Presi- dents swamped the Peanutmen under a 41-11 score. After the first team had se- cured a large lead the playing was left to the second string men. Displaying a fine brand of passwork and headwork, the Presidents had everything their own way. The scoring honors were divided between Morlino and Rose. MAURY In a fast game that brimmed over with heady floorwork and accurate shooting, the Presidents fell victims to the Commodores by a 25-20 score. Although they led their opponents at the end of the first half, they were unable to withstand the Commodores’ attack, and finally succumbed, but not until they had put up a hard fight. The guarding of Owens made him the outstanding star for Wilson, while the shooting of Morlino, Rose and Powell netted the Presidents most of their tallies. NEWPORT NEWS The Shipbuilders fell easy victims to the Wilson quint by a 40-19 score. Taking the lead in the early part of the game, the Presidents were never headed. Rose was the best player for Wilson, collecting 19 points and giving a nice demon- stration of floorwork. PETERSBURG Playing their first game on the road trip, the Presidents took the measure of the Petersburg five by the score 33-8. Though the Presidents piled up a com- manding lead on their opponents the game was marred by bad passing on the part of both teams. U. OF RICHMOND FROSH The team’s next opponents were the Lh of Richmond Frosh. After playing a fast game, the Presidents were on the short end of the 42-34 score at the final whistle. JOHN MARSHALL The next night the Presidents bowed down to the John Marshall quint, in an interesting game of basketball. Holding the lead at the end of the first half the Wilsonites could not stop the Justices, who gradually forged ahead. The final score was 40-25. Rose and Morlino showed up best for the Presidents. V. M. I. FROSH I ' he Wilson cagers won their second game on the trip by defeating the V. M. I. Frosh, to the tune of a 49-35 sco”e. The Frosh were not able to withstand the fast attack and superior shooting of the Presidents. WASHINGTON AND LEE FROSH Again the Presidents went down in defeat, this time the Washington and Lee Frosh beat them with a 39-33 score. Playing on courts of all different sizes, rhe Presidents were placed at a decided disadvantage. Nevertheless they made a good showing against the strong Frosh team. V. P. I. FROSH By winning their third game at the expense of the V. P. I. Frosh, the Presi- dents split even on the trip. The game proved to be an easy victory for Wilson, who outclassed the Techmen in everv phase of the game. The final score was 34-12. WILLIAM AND MARY FROSH The William and Mary Dues again bit the dust. The Presidents, led by Captain Morlino, with Mayo and Mathias ringing up the goals, hung up a 29-27 score against them. It was a thrilling game throughout. Wilson, leading most of the time, had a hard time keeping the Frosh down in the last few minutes of play, when seconds seemed months. It was a real tussle from the beginning to the end. JOHN MARSHALL On the short end of the score at the end of the first half, the Presidents starte d the last half with a rejuvenated team. Though they outplayed their opponents in this half, the} were not able to wipe out the lead the Justices had gained. Mor- lino’s seven field goals and heady floorwoork made him the stellar player for Wilson, while Mayo, Powell and Spear made very impressive showings. The final score was 39-31. MAURY The Commodores again whipped the Presidents in a fast and spectacular game by a 37-25 score. Minus the services of two regulars, and plaving the latter part of the game without Powell, the Presidents were unable to make as good a showing as they did in the first game with Maury. However the Commodores did not have a walk-over, as Powell, Morlino and Mayo were right there with the never give up Wilson spirit. Spear and Mathias did some splendid guarding, bottling up the Maury forwards in good style during the first half. Scores of ames The Presidents have played some of the best high school and college freshman quints in the state this year. Though they have not made such an impressive record, they have secured eleven victories against eight defeats.

Though they won the championship, their path was a rough one. The Sophomores, always contenders for the title, were never out of the race at any time during the season, and until the last game was played the championship was undecided. The Juniors and Freshmen also had teams which figured in the race.

The Juniors were the only team that could furnish them opposition and at times this was very weak. Foote, captain of the Seniors, was the high point scorer of the league.

The Shipbuilders outhit the Wilson men for the victory, 8 to 5. The fielding of both teams was marred by errors, each being chalked up with four miscues. ents showed need of practice which had been lacking due t o the con- NAVAL HOSPITAE Although they got more hits than the Gobs, the Presidents were unable to come out on the long end of the 12-2 score. Both teams played ragged baseball, Wilson making ten errors and the Hospital four. If a player was not struck out, he was sure to get a base. In the second inning the Presidents scored a run on a hit, walk, error and a sacrifice. Again in the seventh the bo s scored on a walk, fielder’s choice, and an error. NEWPORT NEWS In the second game played against the Shipbuilders the Presidents reversed the score, by bunching hits at crucial moments to give them a two run lead at the end of the game. Powell led the Wilson batters with three hits, one of which was a home run. The Presidents scored these runs in the second, fourth, seventh and won the game in the te nth inning by scoring two more runs. The Shipbuilders were retired in the tenth with no runs. = WILLIAM AND MARY EROSH The Presidents lost their next game to the William and Mary Erosh in an abbreviated affair that lasted only seven innings. Green led the hitting for the Presidents with two hits out of three times at bat, one of which went for an extra base. Casey and Powell secured a three bagger and home run respectively. The combination — Mapp-to-Morlino-to-Brown — completed the first double play made by the Presidents this year. The Erosh made only one more hit than the Presi- dents, but they collected three of their runs in the third inning. The final score was 5-4 in the Frosh’s favor. SUFFOLK With Kirshon pitching in mid-summer form the Presidents were able to put Suffolk on the lower berth of the 7-2 score. In the first inning Morlino secured a hit and scored when the Peanut nine made several errors. At the close of this inning the Presidents had four runs chalked up. After this the hits were scattered and with the exception of the third inning thev did not score until the seventh. In this inning they secured two more runs. The Peanut men collected only four hits, all of which were scattered. MAURY In one of the best played games seen in local High School circles the Maur Commodores bunched enough hits to give them a two run lead in the thirteenth inning. The Presidents, fighting up to the last minute, scored one run in the thirteenth and with a man on third the next three batters fanned. The Wilsonites played big league baseball up to the ninth inning. With a one run lead, an error let in a Maury player after two men were down. Rose did some wonderful pitching in those thirteen innings, striking out twelve men. The boys batted well but their hits were scattered. The final score was 6-5. MAURY The Presidents lost theii second game to Maury after committing eight errors, by a U2 to 2 score. Rose, who pitched so well in the first thirteen-inning affair, was off form and relieved by Mapp who was later withdrawn to let Kirshon take the helm. With the Commodores playing professional baseball, the Presidents were completely outclassed. Though fighting to the last inning, they were unable to bunch hits enough to get in the run column and make the game interesting.

SUFFOLK HE Wilson Harriers triumphed over the Suffolk Peanutmen in their first meet of the year by a wide margin, taking all except two first places. Although it was raining and the ground was soggy, the pole vault was the only event that was affected by the bad conditions. Mayo, with 14 points to his credit, and Spear with !), shared the high point honors for the Presidents. WILSON VS. WILLIAM AND MARY FROSH The Presidents lost their second meet of the season, to the William and Mary Frosh, by a 70-38 score. The Frosh team was composed of many varsity men, and as a result the Presidents were outclassed in most of the contests except the hurdles and pole valut, and in these events they gathered first places. Mayo and Carson were high point men for the Presidents with 0 points each, while Powell was second with 6 credits. TIDEWATER MEET The Wilson track team won the third annual Tidewater Track High School Meet, sponsored by William and Mary College, by unmassing a total of 50A points. Powell, with Vl l A points, and Mayo, with 12, were the highest scorers of the meet. Carson collected 9 points by winning the 220 low hurdles and taking second place in the 100. Holcomb was defeated by a small margin, in the prettiest race of the day, the mile. Syer took second place in javelin and fourth in discus for 6 points. WILSON VS. MAURY After annexing all the first places except three, the Wilson Spikemen found themselves sitting on the long end of the 63-30 score. The meet was held primarily as a contest between Wilson and Maury, but it turned out to be an inter-team meet, with the Wilson men fighting among themselves for first places. Powell held high point honors with 15 points and Mayo was second with 11. Were it not for the class they showed in hurling the discus the Co mmodores’ score would have been considerablv less. STATE MEET The Wilson track team gathered more glory and silverware when they col- lected 46 points, double that of their nearest competitor, enough to make them victors of the State Meet at Charlottesville. Mayo, taking his first and second as usual in the pole vault, high jump, and broad jump, for a total of 13 points, was high scorer for Wilson, and was tie for high man of the Class A division. Powell was second in the matter of points gained. i i ummarp of ®racfe Jfleets Maury W. M.

FEATURES Ipmps tZTfjc Ea to Befetdbe The following story won first place in “The President” short story-poem contest 1 OOOO-OOT ! TOOTH” The shrill blast of an ocean liner’s whistle rent the air. Slowly the large gang-plank was pulled on board. An ex- cited little man with a black handbag rushed out on the pier. He was evidently a Frenchman. When he saw the gang-plank going on board he dashed up to the edge of the dock. With a supreme effort he hurled his handbag on board and jumped for the gang-plank. He landed on the end of it, and willing hands pulled him on board. With a sigh of relief he sank down on a nearby coil of rope. A kindly passenger picked up the little stranger’s black handbag and held it out to him. With a cry of joy he leaped forward and snatched it from his hand. A look of astonishment passed over the face of the passenger. When the stranger saw this he saici, ‘‘Pardon, Monsieur, my abrupt- ness, but I am what ees called upset. Zee handbag eet contains a very valuable eenvention. Twice it has been stolen from me and I have recovered it, and I am afraid for eet.” With that he picked up his handbag and walked ofF to his state- room. When he arrived he went in and locked the door. “Now,” he said, in perfect English, very unlike the broken English he had used while addressing the passenger, “let them catch me if they can!” Bob Lawkins sat at his desk in the LeMarr Radium Factory, busily engaged in studying a radio diagram. About him lay several sheets of paper covered with formulas and diagrams. Suddenly he was conscious of the presence of someone else. He looked up to meet the stern gaze of his Chief. “Young man,” he said sternly, “how many times have I told you not to fool with that mess during office hours?” “But, sir, it’s — ,” said Bob. The Chief cut him short. “It’s nothing but foolishness — a fad that will soon die out as all fads do.” “Sir,” said Bob, “it is not a fad; it is a revolutionizing invention and it has great commercial possibilities.” “Enough!” exclaimed the Chief. “I don’t see it as you do, so don’t let this happen again.” “Very well, sir,” said Bob gloomily. The Chief retired to his office. “I’ll show him ! ” Bob said grimly. A few minutes later I heard the jingling of the telephone in the Chief’s office, then a low murmur of voices came to me. Suddenly the Chief’s door burst open, and the Chief stood there. His face was blanched. “My God!” he exclaimed. “We’re ruined. The air mail was shot down while flying over the Dismal Swamp, and the ten billion dollar radium shipment was stolen!” “But what happened to the convoy?” I asked. “Three of them descended because of motor trouble, and the other two were wrecked when their landing gear collapsed while they were landing,” Bob said, looking at the radiogram which the Chief had dropped on his desk. “What is to be done?” I asked, dismayed, for I felt the loss as heavily as any- one, because I had some $100,000 invested in the stock of the company and I was at that time chief of the chemical laboratory: “The Chief has gone to see the Shackleton Detective Agency,” said Bob. “If anyone can catch them they can.” a bungled that last job I’m in favor of doing “I don’t know so much about that,” I said. “1 hey they had — the hold-up of the San Francisco Air Express, a little sleuthing myself. How about it?” ‘‘0. K,” said Bob. “When are you leaving for home?” I asked. “Oh, I’ll hop the six o’clock air bus,” said Bob. “How about going home with me in my plane, Bob?” “All right,” he answered, “I’ll meet you at six, then.” At two minutes of six Bob came across the landing field, package under his arm. “All set?” I asked. “Yeah,” he answered, “and here’s some radium the Chief told me to give you to analyze. Give y ' our results to him tomorrow.” “Aw, heck!” I exclaimed. “Another night of hard work.” “Say,” said Bob, “stop at my house. I want to show you my new receiving set.” He had a small This pleased me immensely, for I, too, was a radio bug, so I readily agreed. In a few minutes we had landed in the public landing field at the west end of the residential section of Portsmouth. After putting my plane in its hangar we lumped into mv auto and rode to Bob’s house. We went in and I laid my hat and package on the hall table. Then we proceeded to Bob’s “radio room.” “Lem,” he said, “this is the most efficient circuit in the world. It will tune from one to ten billion kilocycles. Watch and I’ll show you.” He threw in the battery ' switch. Immediatelv a low hum was heard in the loud speaker. He switched in a set of filters and the hum ceased. He moved the tuning dial slightly and “WRNY” came in loud and clear. “Now watch,” he said, and moved the loop slightly. Immediately the music ceased. “See!” he cried exuberantly. “It works fine. Now I’ll tune in ‘WGY’.” He turned the loop to the northeast and there was a loud hum in the loud speaker. Bob switched in another set of filters. The hum persisted, and he switched on some more filters. He switched on his last bank of filters, but it did no good. Then he tried to tune it out. As he increased the frequency of the set the hum grew louder. He continued to turn the dial. Suddenly ' he passed over a loud squeal. He moved the dial back and we heard the squeal again. “That must be the frequency of whatever that is,” said Bob. “And it must be mighty close to be so I can’t tune it out.” “What is the frequency?” I asked. “Four billions,” answered Bob. “Gosh!” I exclaimed. “I don’t know of anything of that frequency.” “Neither do I,” said Bob. “But wait — I’ll try the loop.” He moved the loop slightly. The howl ceased. “Well, one thing is sure,” said Bob. “Whatever it is, it is northeast from here. What can it be?” “It must be some kind of light ray r ,” I said. “It can’t be a ray because the frequency is too high,” said Bob. “The fre- quency of all rays is known, and the highest is that of the ‘Death Ray,’ one million kilocycles.” “What is the frequency of radium rays?” I asked, struck with a sudden idea. “By Jove!” exclaimed Bob, “that’s it.” “But where is any radium around here?” I asked. “There is none except at the factory, and that is southwest from here,” said Bob. •] H “But the loop points northeast,” I said. Then suddenly I remembered the package on the hall table. “Your house points north, doesn’t it?” I asked. “Yes, but what has that to do with — ? Oh! the package in the hall!” he exclaimed, and he dashed out to return a few seconds later with the package of radium. The howl had stopped. Bob walked in front of the loop with the package. As he passed the howl grew loud, and then died out. “Oh, boy!” I cried, “now we can do it.” “Do what?” asked Bob. “I don’t see any particular good this is going to do us.” “Whv, man!” I exclaimed, “we can now catch the radium thief.” The light of comprehension dawned on Bob’s face. “Now,” he said, “I’ll show the Chief that radio is some good.” We got together and be gan to map out a plan of campaign. “I have a list of the cities in which there is radium, so if we find a location that is not listed, we will know that it is the location of the stolen radium,” said Bob. “Let’s try the loop and see how many places we can pick up,” I said. Bob turned the loop slowly towards the north. When at due north we heard a familiar howl. “That’s the cancer hospital in Syracuse, N. Y.,” said Bob. He continued to turn the loop. We heard and identified Chicago, Seattle, Denver, San Francisco, Los Angeles, New Orleans, our factory at Portsmouth, a., Havana, Cuba, and then we heard a howl that we couldn’t identify. The loop was pointing E.50 degrees. “What place is that, Bob?” I asked. Bob was plainly puzzled. “Dogged if I know,” he said. “Is that the stolen stuff?” I asked. “It must be,” replied Bob. “But where is it?” I asked. Bob looked at a map of the world. “It’s somewhere to the northeast of here, between here and Siberia, but I don’t know how we are going to find out where.” “How long will it take you to make another set like this?” I asked. “Oh, about three days,” replied Bob, “but how will two sets be any better than one?” ‘ Why, that’s simple,” I replied. “All we have to do is cross him. I’ll fly to New York with one set and get his direction from there, and you stay here and get his direction from here, and we’ll put them both on a map and where they cross, that’s where he is.” “Fine,” said Bob. “Today is Tuesday. I can let you have the set Friday, and we can cross him up Saturday afternoon after the factory closes.” “O. K.,’ I said, “and we won’t tell the Chief anything about it until we catch the thief and recover the radium.” “Well, so long, Bob; I’ll see you tomorrow.” “So long.” The days rolled bv and finally Saturday arrived. Bob had given me the set Friday and we had worked very late Friday night installing it in my plane. Bob came down to the field to see me off. I left Portsmouth at two p. m. I chose the five thousand foot level, because it was comparatively free of traffic. After I had straightened out, I set the gyroscopic control and began fooling with the set. I set the dial at four billion kilocycles and then slowlv moved the loop. This time I heard the howl when the loop was pointed E.80 degrees. I was now flying over New York City. When I had landed, I climbed out of m plane and started across the field to the radiophone station to call up Bob. A glance at the big clock at the end of the field showed that it was three-thirty p. m. I got Bob on the phone and gave him my report and told him to point his loop and mark the directions down on a map and let me know where they crossed. About five minutes later the operator called me in. It was Bob. “Hello, Lem,” he said. “I find that the radium is on a ship at Lat. N.45 degrees, Long. W.30 degrees. This ship must be on the Hampton Line that runs from New York to Havre.” “Fine,” I said. “I’ll run down to the terminal and find out which ship it is and when it will land. You hop the next air bus to New York and meet me at the terminal.” “O. K.,” he came back. “So long.” “So long.” I hopped an elevated and rode to the Hampton I ine terminal. When I arrived I went into their office and asked what ship on their line was now nearing Europe. After consulting some charts, he informed me that the SS ARCTURUS would arrive at Havre Monday morning. When I learned this, I went to a radio- phone and called up the air bus, and asked for Mr. Robert Lawkins. Bob an- swered a few minutes later. “Hello, Bob,” I said, “meet me at the Transoceanic Air Field instead of the Hampton Terminal.” “O. K.,” said Bob. I went out of the radiophone station and hailed a taxi. “To the Transoceanic Air Field,” I ordered. I jumped in and away we roared down boulevard after boulevard. I began to doze, for I didn’t get much sleep the night before, and I was sleepy. I was awakened by a light touch on my arm. “Here we are, boss,” said the driver. I got out. “How much?” I asked. “Twelve-fifty,” replied the driver. I tossed him a twenty dollar bill. “Keep the change,” I said over my shoulder. He grinned broadly. “Thanks,” he said. I went over to the office and asked if the Portsmouth-New York air bus had arrived. I was informed that it was late. I paced the field impatiently. Finallv the bus arrived, and Bob jumped off. He had a suitcase in one hand. “Wh at’s the idea?” I asked. “Oh, this is my set,” he said. “I installed it in this suitcase so it would be portable.” “I have been inquiring around and I find that there is no plane that leaves for the other side until tomorrow morning,” I said- “But we can hire a plane here and he will put us at Havre Sunda night.” “Good enough,” said Bob. “Let’s go.” We went into the office to emerge a few minutes later with an order to an aviator to take us across. He led us to a slim, gray, speedy-looking monoplane and climbed in. One by one the three big I iberties began to roar. Slowly the plane began bumping along, gaining speed every second. Suddenlv the bumping ceased and we saw the ground dropping away from us. Slowly the barometer dropped. It stopped when it registered two thousand feet and remained steady. The ground slid by under us like a panorama. The coast slid b under us, the breakers flashing gold in the last rays of the dying sun. Night found us flying over the Atlantic. H 92 ■Or l We decided to try to get some sleep, so we retired to our berths and were soon asleep. When I awoke the sun was shinking brightly. Looking through the win- dow in the floor, I saw the rollers sparkling in the bright sunshine. Bob was not in his bunk, so I got up. When I found him he was in the control room talking a to the pilot. We invited the pilot to have breakfast with us, so he set the gyro- scopic control and the three of us retired to the dining compartment. After breakfast the pilot went back to the control room and Bob got out his set. B “Let’s see what we can hear now,” he said. He set the dial at four billion kilocycles and began turning the loop. When the loop was pointed a little to the left of our course we hard a familiar howl. “Go tell the pilot to change his course slightly,” said Bob. I went to the pilot house and soon we were flying directly towards the ARC- TURUS. At two o’clock that afternoon a ship appeared on the horizon. Slowly we approached and passed it. We identified it as the ARCTURUS with the radiophone. Soon it dropped from view behind us. At four o’clock we were flying over the English Channel, and at five we landed on the air field at Havre. We told our pilot to wait for us at the air field to take us back Monday. Then we hopped a taxi and went to the Hampton Terminal. 1 inquired about the ARCTURUS and was informed that it would arrive Monday morning at six o’clock, so we decided to come down about five o’clock to meet it. With this object in view we climbed in our taxi and rode to the hotel. We retired immediately upon finishing our meal, so we could catch up some of our sleep. At five minutes of five we were at the dock waiting. Bob had brought his set along and we now had it tuned in. The loop was point west-southwest. Slowly the howl grew faint. Bob moved the loop slightly and the howl grew loud again. Once more it grew faint and by moving the loop it was brought back. “The ship is now coming up the English Channel,” explained Bob. When the loop was pointed west by north the howl did not fade. “Now the ship has rounded Cape La Hague,” said Bob. “It will remain steady for about fifteen minutes.” But he was wrong. After it had remained steadv about five minutes it began to fade again. “Say!” exclaimed Bob, “something’s wrong — that ship didn’t round the Cape that soon.” I he loop showed that the radium was moving to the south. I glanced at the map and started. I saw that Cherbourg was exactly south of where the ship was. “By George!” I exclaimed. “I’ll bet that crook is going to land at Cherbourg in a launch.” “Come,” said Bob. “There is no time to lose. We must get a plane and intercept him when he lands.” “Can we make it?” I asked. “We might,” he replied. “Come on! Hurry!!!” He dashed towards a line of taxis. I grabbed his set and followed. We piled into a waiting cab. “To the air field,” ordered Bob. “Quick!” Away we roared. We arrived a few minutes later. “Where’s our plane?” asked Bob. “Over here!” I pointed. “Come on!” We found our pilot leaning against the wing of his plane smoking. “A hundred dollars if y r ou get us to Cherbourg in an hour,” I said. “You’re on,” he replied. We jumped in the plane. A few minutes later we were in the air and headed for Cherbourg at a speed of two hundred kilos per hour. We landed exactly one y n kt ; Pn$n tat; s hour later. The air field at Cherbourg was right next to the Hampton Terminal We had the radio going and the howl came in with the loop pointing straight ahead. As the plane came to a stop an auto whizzed by. A little man with a black hand- bag sat in the back seat. Bob followed the auto with the loop. The howl continued. “There he goes!” exclaimed Bob. “Quick, get a taxi and let’s follow him ' ” He jumped out and dashed off towards a line of taxis. I followed. The pilot stuck his head out of the control room window and yelled. “Wait there!” I bawled over my shoulder. Bob was already in a taxi. I piled in on top of him and the driver “stepped on it.” We sped onward, gaining slowly on the car ahead. We swung around a curve to a straight stretch of road. We were now within a block of the retreating car. 1’he man in the back seat turned around and something flashed in his hand. The report of a pistol came to us and a bullet whined overhead too close for comfort. “Two can play at that game,” muttered Bob grimly, pulling out his automatic. I did the same. We emptied them at the auto ahead. A rear tire burst. The car lurched crazily and turned over. We stopped our car anci climbed out. At the same in- stant the little stranger appeared from beneath the overturned auto with a pistol in one hand and his black handbag in the other. We ducked behind a tree. The gun spoke three times, and then the hammer fell on an empty chamber. He hurled the gun at us with an oath. Bob pulled forth another automatic, and the little stranger turned and fled. He took careful aim and fired. The stranger’s hat leapt from his head. He dropped the handbag. “Put ’em up,” ordered Bob. The man complied. I went up and got the handbag and opened it eagerly. There lay the radium in its large lead containers. “Here it is!” I cried joyfully. Bob produced a pair of handcuffs and snapped them on the man’s wrists. Then we jumped into our car and rode back to the air field. When we arrived we climbed out and Bob took the prisoner to our plane while I went into a radiophone station and called up the “R. C. A.’s” large trans-Atlantic station. “Send this message to Mr. Charles Halstead of the Le Marr Radium Plant at Portsmouth, Virginia,” I said. “ ‘Have apprehended bandit and recovered radium. Bring police to meet us at the Transoceanic Air Field at six p. m. Tues- day. Signed — Lem.’ ” I hurried back to the plane and got Bob, and we went to lunch. After lunch we climbed in the plane with our prisoner, and a few minutes later we were in the air headed for New York. We arrived Tuesday at six-thirty p. m. and found the Chief and two officers waiting. The Chief greeted us warmly. We turned the thief over to the police, and the Chief, Bob and I went out to dinner. During the meal we told him the story. When we had finished, he said, “Bovs, that was wonderful, and as you say, radio played a large part.” The next day Bob and I were sitting in the office talking when the Chief came in. He was loaded down with small packages. As he walked across the office a spool of wire fell from one of them. Bob winked at me slyly. “Say, Chief,” he said, “what’s in those packages?” The Chief grinned sheepishly. “Radio parts,” he said. “I thought I would rig up a set, and — er — ah — -say, Bob, will you help me?” “Will I” said Bob. “I’ll say I will.” And they began poring over a diagram.
