She is a very industrious, willing worker and P’n Is much of her time in Room 22 where her records are s oted for their neatness and accuracy. Mageedee also has a keen sense of humor and vou are liable to hear a giggle fioin this Cheerful. Little Earful at the most unexpected times. As Mageedee is quick, alert and hard-working, we expect to see her employed as a competent secretary in the near future. Senior Play Committee (4). Business Club (4).

As treasurer of the Business Club. Wir Dienen. her efficiency and accuracy have b-en shown in managing the financial affairs of th’ C ub and in handling athletic dues. Bunny excels in all Ivr subjects and has made a particularly brilliant record in typewriting. As a Junior did she not compete with the Seniors and carry off their trophies? Since then she has broken the record for speed bv attaining a net rate of 90 words per minute. Bryant Stratton will claim Bunny” next fall. QUIVER Board (4), Senior Play Committee (4).

H- is also vety moderate, nothing seeming to bother him. and. probably, even if the world threatened to turn over, it wouldn't disturb him a great deal. Manning is a member ol the baseball team and indeed an asset to it. Can he deliver a speech! Well, you just bet he can and with considerable ta'ent and intelligence! His ease on the stage has been the envy of many of his classmates. Sometime when you have nothing in particular to do. ask Manning if he likes red hair. Immediately he will describe at length the charms of a certain young lady in whose company Manning is very, very often seen. We do not know what fate has in store for him. hut we are sure that, in whatever he undertakes, he will be a success. Junior Prom Committee (3). Baseball. Track ?4), Glee Club (2).

Her bubbling lauch and the affection which her friends hold for her are an atte.t that these aims have been more than realized Gladys inrmds to be a nurse, and what better choice could she make?

Do you see that girl with the rr-ttv blue eyes and light hair, standing just across the way? That's Inez, one of the many attractive girls in our class. Inez came to us from Slatersville. We wonder if it is reallv the bus that brings her to school so early everv morning If anyone asked her what color ol hair she liked best, she might ov, Oh either black or red. Most likelv il would be Red. The commercial department and the Wir Dienen C'ub have another va'uable asset in Inez. What will claim Inez, after her high school days are ovet. no one is sure. We are all certain, however, that, whether college or work she will be a great success. Wir Dienen Club (4). Junior Play Committee (3). Who is EMMETT BAXTER Better late than never.” w iiu la that tunning for his room at 8 :2 3-4? 't es, that is Emmett always racing for his room at the last pos sible moment. I think Emmett has the record among the Seniors for being late. Emmett and another certain Senior are our star wranglers. These two bovs like to argue, there is no doubt about it. and the figurative language they use would give joy to their English teachers if they should chance to hear th-m. Emmett served as manager of our successful football team, and the profit we realized may be because of Emmett's fine managing, who knows? Wc hope you will be as successful a manager in life.

You hear her remark quite often. Oh that wind's go:ng to blow mv wig off. Lor a wbi'e Billie seemed to lose interest in Providence, but it has turned towards that citv again.

THE QUIVER 7 IRENE BI.ANKSTEIN Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.” Irene is one of our amiable girls. Those who are not well acquainted with Irene think that she is very quiet, but those who know her find her quite the opposite. Whenever a friend is needed. Irene is at hand. Irene has maintained a good record in all commercial subjects. Perhaps it accounts for her running up to Room 22 each morning, to get a pink s'io to make the best of her time studying. Whatever you will choose as vour career, Irene, be confident that success from the class of '31 will follow you. Dramatic Club (2), Senior Play Committee (4), Junior Play Committee (3).

Baffled is a word which describes the school's office force when they try to locate Stan during one of his unofficial inspection tours of the school corridors. Stan's hobby se� ms to be to wander about the school when he should be in a definite class. Stanley has put his wanderlust to advantage as a crack pilot on the Western Union Pony Express. Did you ever see him dash through the ozone? Stan seems to have a liking for studies dealing with commerce, especially foreign commerce. A liking for travel and commerce seems to predict this young man's future as a famous importer. Business Club (4). WALTER BOOTH “At history he's really clever And as for wit—you'll beat him never.” Booth has always been a name synonymous with the American stage and Walt is living up to this tradition, for his pleasing personality and excellent speaking voice have graced many of our school programs. Do you remember how Walt.” as the dashing aviation officer. Major Grover, wooed and won Mrs. Armstrong away from poor “Shavings” in our Senior Play? Page David Belasco.

That girl is Anna Speed well lives up to her nickname. Quiet and reserved as Anna appears to acquaintances, to her friends she is great fun Anna is one of the Three Musketeers.

We are not surprised to learn it is none other than Art Brown.

Jack is almost a ways seen in company with Ham. another member of our c'ass. When you see one. vou always know that the oth� r is not far behind.

WALTER COREY The pen is mightier than the sword If it's a walking dictionary or a verbal book report of the latest mystery story, just hail Walt. He s bound to give you satisfaction n that line. Walt has aroused the envy of many by his ability to write novels of such an adventurous and rapid fire type that they have caused one critic to term them as being able to raise the hair of a bald headed man What we can't remember is when Walt didn t wear a smile or didn’t have an encouraging Word about th? day s algebra.

Whatever room Leo is in you may be sure that you will never miss him. lor his favorite seat is the one directly in front of the teacher. But I will hasten to sav that he does not sit there of his own accord. On the contrary, he sits there because h is too noisy. Leo is one of our wittiest and iolliest boys, lie has attractive brown eves, black hair, a bronl smi'e and a h Ho for everyone. He is an expert typist, and he and his inseparable companion. Henry, may be seen every night after school in Room 21. Considered a good-looking boy. neat dresser and having a pleasing personality, Leo has made a host of friends throughout his sojourn at Woonsocket High School. We understand that there is a so-cia! attraction in Room 11. but. Shi we mustn't make Leo blush. Whatever he may undertake, we. the class of 1931. know that he will be a success. Good luck. Leo.

When a teacher reads a paper containing words ponderous enough to grace the President’s message to Congress or the Wickersham Report, she may safely surmise that it r. Walt’s. Cleveland's baker boy grew up to be a promi nent heavyweight fighter, but we arc certain that Woonsocket's will be a lexicographer or a linguist, or at least a college professor. Although Walt is usually the quiet est boy in the class, his occasional dry remarks at unexpected moments often send the class into an uproar. We have all enjoyed your witticisms. Walt. and join in wishing you a happy and prosperous future. QUIVER Board (4). Editor-in-Chief. Debate (4). RUTH DONALDSON O. thou are fairer than the evening air.

Whether it is a long shot, a timely hit or a slashing tackle that is needed. Pat” always comes through in a pinch. His long toms at opportune moments thrilled hundreds of basketball fans, while his sterling defensive work on the gridiron had much to do with the success of the football team. And that was Pat playing second base last season and not Rogers Hornsby. as many opposing teams claimed. We do not know Pat's ambition, but we are certain that after his toilsome career as dues collector of Room 19. he will never become a bill collector! Best of luck. Pat”! Baseball (3) (4).

Johnny's a very, very quiet lad. one of the quietest in the class, but willing to help anyone. His sunny disposition is a sure cure for the blues.

Aurore spends much of her time in Room 21, and as she has proved herself very efficient in stenography we expect to see her enter the business world and bcome very successful.

Frankie.” as an actor in our Junior play, took the audience by storm and carried off the juvenile honors. Fie can ask more why's and wherefore's in class during two minutes than the entire class can ask in half an hour. Frankie's favorite study seems to be public speaking because that is one place where he may argue without restraint, and there is nothing he likes more than a good argument. Frankie intends to go into the grocery business, so we may predict a successful future as a big butter and egg man in store for this alumnus. Junior Play (3). Glee Club (4). RICHMOND WILLIAM EARNES Gentleman of the American guard, fire first. Richmond is a man of question, although he certainly can act. You should have seen him create amazement in Icebound when he was about to fire the shot. His part in Shavings, our Senior Play, must also be mentioned, for it was at this time that we discovered what a fine banker he would make. Richie, no doubt, will be an accomplished musician some day. due to the fact that he has always been a high light in our band. We also note that he is fond of the song Cecilia. A motto well entrusted to this young man is Mind your own business and you will not get into any trouble. and he lives up to this saying all the time, much to his advantage. Given the combined circumstances of a remarkably honest character and a pleasant personality, he has undoubtedly won a large number of friends at W. H. S. No doubt Richie will be successful in life as he has been in school. Junior Play (3). Senior Play (4), Business Club (4), Band (4), Student Council (4).

Peg. however, is not only popular, but also one of the best athletes among the girls of our class and the envy of many. Fairmount sent Peg to us. and she is one of its staunch supporters. We all know that besides being a resident of that section of our city, there is another attrac tion too. At a basketball game Peg always stands Pat. that Woonsocket will win Chemistry is Peg's” favorite subject. Many times she has been heard to exclaim. Oh dear! Wasn't that chemistry test terrible? 1 know I didn t pass because 1 just didn t know what it was all about. Things aren’t so bad as they look, Peg.' Don t worry, you passed.

You all know her as the tall attractive girl who can always be seen strolling aim in aim with her best pal. Bebe. A cheerful disposition, a sunny smile, and a charming personality are the outstanding characteristics of Mary. Mary and her mirror are inseparable, for a shiny note is an unpardonable disgrace in her estimation. Mary doesn t talk too much, but we wonder what these frequent trips to Pawtucket mean Is it strictly for business reasons that you go? Mary is a loyal rooter at all our games for she is known for her good sportsmanship She plans to be “Somebody's Stcnog when she leaves us. We are certain you will succeed, Mary. Library Club (2) (3).

It has been reported that our Arlene possesses hypnotic powers, but we think that the power vested in tho.e alluiing blue eyes is of much more importance to her. There is a certain Page in one of her favorite numbers that she loves to Turn over and over again. Arlene enjoys dancing very much, and oh my! you should see those little size 3's glide over the floor. Ask Arlene her favorite type of a car and she will answer. Why a Ford coupe, of course. Arlene's unusual ability in all her subjects will undoubtedly go a long way in making life a success for her. Cheerio. Arlene. Junior Play Committee (3).

Vivian certainly knows a trick or two about attracting attention, especially with that little giggle of hers Nevertheless, we must admit that she is one of the snappiest and wittiest members of our Senior Class. And can she dance? At every dance we are sure to find Vivian a big asset to the opposite sex. Vivian takes frequent trips to New York, and we shall not at all be surprised to find her taking dictation on the forty second story of some large firm. Let s hope her employer is tall, dark and handsome, so as to meet with Vivian's requirements. We know that she will make a fine secretary for some one. Student Council (2).

Behold Gilroy entering the class room with his cheery greetings. Got a pencil? Gilroy plans to become an actor. He revealed this by his dramatic ability in the Senior Play. ' ohavings. He was then a bachelor, but will he really remain so? We are doubtful, because Gilroy's occasional dreamy moods are due to Lydian airs. Now wait a minute.

Joe.’’ the wonder in chcmistiy. is a terrible expense to the school, as more than one instrument has been broken by him. However, some far sighted lad has taken revenge by burning his suit and shoes. Joe's most inter esting subject is selling shoes. Attired in a flashy green shirt. Joe can be seen in one of our local shoe stores every after noon and Saturday acquiring experience in the business field. This care free lad has been a great help to the school with his car. If you haven't mastered arithmetic progression, the theory of Pythagoras or Boyles' Law. consult Joe ; he'll probably throw a little light on the subjects. In the days to come, we hope to see Joe as the competent manager of a successful shoe store. Glee Club (4), Inter class Basketball (2) (}). NATHANIEL ROBERT GOLDMAN I have a heart with room for every joy. Nat is the boy with the curly blond hair and cheerful countenance who goes around borrowing homework and chewing gum. He is a great help to his chemistry class, for whenever Mr. Murphy asks a question. Nat quickly shouts his answer—then the rest of us chorus out the opposite of what he says, and usually have the right answer. And when he gets loose in the Lab. every man for himself! It is no fault of Nat's that we have survived his experiments to discover whether the class could distinguish between chlorine and carbon monoxide by the odor! Nat plans to enter R. 1.

In the classroom he was a diligent worker, ever anxious to grasp and analyze the fundamentals of a new system. Beyond a doubt.

Her hearty laugh always amuses the class during the typewriting period. Ev's” dramatic ability is known to all. especially to those who saw her act in Icebound. Her wit and humour in this play will not soon be forgotten. Providence certainly seems to hold some great attraction for this young lady, who spends many of her week-ends there, yet we do not seem to understand it. because there is a certain dark-haired youth in the Senior Class who attracts Evelyn to a great extent. She likes swimming and dancing and also enjoys serious reading. We must admit that our Evelyn is always among the first to blossom out in new fads.

She brings memories of Clara Bow with her red hair. is one of the remarks heard. But Ruth remains undisturbed by them all. Ruth is a girl who does one good deed a day. Perhaps more. Who knows! Ruth's ambition is to become a beauty specialist. We are sure Ruth will find success in this field, for no one can resist her pleasing personality.

We wonder why? Perhaps a dark-haired youth makes the sport so much more interesting. In any ca;e. however, he is fortunate for Rita has pretty brown wavy hair, flashing dark brown eyes and a most winsome character. Rita's motto is Never trouble trouble, until trouble troub'es you. We are not in doubt about this saying for we seldom find a frown on her face due to overstudy. Despite the fact that Rita claims she dislikes the fourth period. Tuesdays and J'hursdays she seems to find it a very opportune time to discuss the topics of the day.

Will the result of their landing be good or bad? Will they have anv effect upon our class or are these arrows aimless? Through the hours of our high school days many of us have been looking merely for the pleasure we got out of them. Many of us have studied and studied hard. Some have excelled: others have not been so fortunate. Which of these two classes we. as individuals, are in does not matter. We have attained the goal of our four years. Graduation. We are all here together. Graduation, however, means separation, but we must not think of it sadlv. All of us are going out into the world to be successes. We are going to send arrows forth that will aid many along dark pathways. Oh. No! People will never forget the class of 1931. Perhaps the ones who are least apt to forget are the teachers, who have aided us in many ways and who will be exceedingly proud of what success or fame our class will attain in the outside world. We have finished our high school days and have come to an end. One end. yes. the end of our high school days: but a beginning also, the beginning of our life in the outside world. Preparation to be future citizens of one of the greatest countries in the world, the United States of American, now begins. The molding of our lives and rhe choosing of our work, ideals, and goals arc now begun. So I sincerely trust that, as we go forth into the world, our arrows will spell Joy, Happiness, and Success in golden letters. Pearl Miller. ’31. 38 THE QUIVER Tardiness IN recent years the ever increasing percentage of tardiness in the high schools of the country has awakened the school authorities to the realization of the fact that the modern American youth is forming a most dilatory habit. Such a statement seems to give little reason for concern until one remembers that a habit formed in school usually remains a habit throughout life. To remedy this situation many educators have made strict rulings such as after-school detention classes, requirements of written excuses from parents explaining reason for tardiness, and so forth. All these restrictions and punishments seem to have been for naught, as the habit persists in spite of all efforts used thus far to curb it. Since force has failed, the only alternate remaining is to educate the youth in such a way that it may come to the conclusion that precision, accuracy and exactness are vital requisites for success in the modern world of today. We are living in a mechanical age where time is valuable and must therefore be used to greatest advantage. As an example, let us inspect our modern railroad systems and their dependency upon time and precision. Trains must arrive and depart on schedule, for the practicability, efficiency and safety of each depends upon the synchron ous co-operation of the other. We can well imagine the chaotic state of affairs resulting from the lack of adherence to schedule and time tables. Not only would the railroad systems be at a stand still, but also the industries and individuals depending upon these systems for transportation, would be hindered in their progress. All branches of business, industry and commerce are dependent upon one another. Each unit must work with exactness and supply the next one with efficiency or soon many others are affected by the failure of one to function properly. If the student, who gets up just a little later than is wise, walks a little more slowly than the time permits, and arrives at school behind schedule, will but logically consider the necessity of exactness in the world, which at some future date he will attempt to conquer, he will easily see the mistake he is mak ing in forming habits of procrastination and will soon turn for the better. Walter .1. Danko. 'll. Tis Come and Cone—The Class of ’31 Listen: what is it . Everybody s looking up. I is an airplane circling around up in the sky. But what do all these movements mean Watching closely you can see that the aviator is sky-writing in smoke against a blue background “Class of 1911.” As it disappears into the air we are reminded that the time has come for us to leave the ranks of W. H. S. and be initiated into the folds of the Alumni. But, first, before we leave, let us consider what we have done and accomplished during our sojourn within the portals of our Alma Mater. We lud the honor of being the first class to graduate from Junior High School. But the idea of being reduced from Seniors in Junior High to Freshmen in High School was not so pleasing. We began our noted career in September. 1928. We were confined to the addition which at first was nothing more nor less to us than a maze. Of course we had to tolerate the hardships of freshmen, but the year passed so quickly that it did not seem possible we were ever freshmen. Evidently we were the first freshman class to elect officers which certainly is an honor. And those officers certainly were worthy representatives of our class. In 1929 we returned, elevated to the title of Juniors. In this year we were allowed to choose our class colors. Blue and Gold were selected by the majority. Our class was the third to stage a Junior play. We choose for presentation the three-act comedy-drama. “Icebound,” by Owen Davis. This play, which won the Pulitzer Prize in 1923. was run two nights and from all reports was a big success. We also held our Junior Prom in May. 1930. in the Junior High “Gym.” This dance far surpassed all others of its kind. The “ gym-' was beautifully decorated in the class colors. The affair was most successful, due to our very efficient, untiring committee. On Class Night, our class was well awarded with titles, to be enjoyed during our Senior year. Alas! September. 1930. ushered in our third and final year. We returned as “Dignified Seniors ” to complete a most famous career in high school. One of the first things to be done was the election of class officers. The officers for our last year were well chosen as the best representatives of our great class. We selected Walter Highcovc. Margaret (“ Peg”) Egan. Barbara Soulcr. and “Russ Campbell. Our class was the first to accomplish a feat that has never been done before, that is we came through the football season without being in debt. The commercial department of our class formed the fourteenth business club of the school. They have charge of the business end of our plays. The Senior play. “ Shavings.” was a great success according to the financial report of the treasurer of the business club. We were one of the few classes that had the privilege of putting on a play in the Junior High Auditorium. The Senior Dance was as great if not a greater success than any previous school dance or play. Ours was the first Junior Class to compete with the Seniors in typewriting and beat them, and at the same time excel the record. Ours is the first class to complete the three full years of high school under the six three-three system Although our class is not the largest that ever grad uated. remember it is quality, not quantity, that counts. When the photographer came to school to take our pictures it reminded us that there were only eleven more weeks before graduation. Also the appointment of the QUIVER Board showed us that we would soon be leaving W. H. S Now the class of “31 extends its best wishes to the classes of 32 and 33. and also to the unfailing teachers who guided us so successfully through our high school journey. In the vast ocean of time the tide is about to go out and take us to an unknown land. As we look back, we have many pleasant memories during our happy voyage through Woonsocket High School. Certainly the esteem we hold for our Alma Mater can never be erased from our minds and hearts. Richard M. Colwell.

Air Castles LAST summer I had the pleasure of spending a few quiet weeks in the country. and as everyone knows, it is extremely difficult for a city person to get accustomed to the still monotony of that life. It was late one afternoon and light was waning. The shadows of the trees were lengthening, twilight was upon us. Somewhere in the distance cows were lowing, a little bell was tinkling. Now and then a farm wagon tilted by causing clouds of dust to fly. Some laborers with shovels over their shoulders plodded wearily homeward. There seemed to be a gentle stir arising over everything for the mere sake of subsidence, a very premonition of hush and rest before night. A soft diurnal calmness was upon me also. I had been peacefully reading all afternoon, about mi gi'fvr-R 43 ancient and beautiful Rome and now as I took up my sewing near the living room window. 1 imagined myself in that glorious metropolis with jxr P -of friends, touring the city of the noble patricians. I thought that we were descending the steps leading from Capitolinc Hill to lower Rome. Here we turned into a narrow passage. The path ascended a little and ran along under the walls of a palace, but soon passed through a gateway and ended in a small paved courtyard which was bordered by a low parapet or wall. I his particular spot impressed me as being very lonely. On each side was the great height of the palace with the moonbeams falling over it. showing us that all the windows were barred and shuttered. (jazing from the brow of I arpeian Rock, where we were standing, our party could see a number of roofs spreading over the whole space between us and the line of hills that lay beyond the Father” Tiber. A long misty wreath, iust long enough to catch a light of the moonshine, floated above the houses, midway toward the hilly line and showed the course of the mighty river. Far away on the right the moon gleamed on the majestic and magnificent dome of St. Peter's. I he splendor of Rome was deeply imprinted upon my mind and as 1 was about to speak my thoughts. I was abruptly stopped when a loud bell rang announcing the first call to dinner. I looked down at the dress on which I was supposedly working, but to my dismay it was still in the same stage of the making as when I had picked it up two hours previously. I consoled myself in thinking that these airy castles might be the inspiration of a journey to Rome in the future when I may have the pleasure of seeking that antiquated city in all its glory beneath the silvery light of the moon. Ruth A. Coffey. 'll. From the Roadside ONF. bright summer morning as I walked aimlessly through a quiet country road, where everything was so charmingly peaceful and attractive. I soon came upon an old forsaken structure which seemed, in spite of its drab and list less appearance, to portrav some of its former homey atmosphere because of its ideal location and simplicity of architecture. With its pitiful and shaky frame, it impressed me more than any sight I can remember, so while the birds twittered in the earlv morn. I gazed at this both picturesque and sorrowful scene, until I soon realized I was transforming it. as if bv magic, into something of its probable former self. While in the land of imagination I saw it alive with nature, youthfully strong, important because of its happy occupants and proud with its beauty. It stood there so peacefully contented with a colorful garden of beautiful flowers around it and a lawn that draped its surrounding like a soft velvet carpet. Why how changed the landscape became—with its green and woody path leading 44 THE QUIVER to the smooth crystal-like beauty of a silent lake which completed the exquisite charm of the cozy and friendly atmosphere of the cheerful homestead, with the everlasting warmth of the bright shining sun and the sweet smelling air filled with the soft music of contented winged creatures, forever flying and hopping about. But all too soon, and everywhere suddenly my illusions of the misleading images of the enchanting scene were quickly swept away to my utter dissatisfaction and with its repulsive realism staring at me. I slowly walked away. The memory of its worthless and shabby frame haunted me as 1 recalled all its long faithful years of service and friendship. Josephine Starzak, T1 My First Day at School HOW I looked forward to going to the big red school-house: I could scarcely wait to experience this great event, for I loved to imitate the older ones, as all children do. My birthdav came in December, and I was sent to school the next February to spend my first term in the kindergarten. How I got there matters little. Let it suffice that I did. Mother introduced me to a teacher who patted me on the head, and was delighted to see me. (I still wonder how long she felt that way.) When they had finished talking. I was led away to the play-room. What a big hall. I thought! How pretty all the little chairs and tables seemed! What a galaxy of toys in the sand-box —but what were all these other children doing here? Wasn’t I to have this whole dream world to enjoy myself? In the midst of my reverie, I was interrupted. and persuaded to sit down while the teacher gave her sermon on discipline. I promptly engaged in a friendly struggle with the red headed boy next to me. Of course. I got my hands slapped for this. When she had finished with me. I walked over to the toys, seized a ‘ nice red automobile, and proceeded to ride around the sand-box. blowing mv horn and making all the other noises associated with light machines of a popular type. The teacher asked for the toy in a stern voice. In terror. I turned and ran around the room, unwilling to surrender my prize. At this. ‘ Red'’ decided he could run faster than the teacher, and joined in the pursuit. He caught me. seized the toy automobile, and we both went down in a heap. By this time the teacher arrived to try to unravel two little boys who were firmlv attached to each other. Just then the dismissal bell sounded (to the great relief of the teacher), and the victrola in the hall burst forth in a popular march-tune. Two by two (?) the children went out. and my first school-day was over. Adam Zajas. ’3 1. THE QUIVER 4 5 The Unknown Soldier AN anonymous letter with an inclosed manuscript was sent to Coningsby Dawson. He set forth the story just as he received it in the manuscript. A pacifist named Jake Cohen, because he brought about strife among the D' pie in New 'i ork. was drafted into the war. With a soul of a musician he did not fit into the rough army life. Out of pity they made him an army tailor. 'A hen they moved to the Front. Cohen, with more time on his hands than the ethers, fed the CFrman prisoners and spoke to them in their own language. Being suspected as a spy. he was sent to the officer. Here he explained that he had acted out of pity. He was made an active soldier to keep him out of trouble. Still at this time, he made an enemy of Corporal Triumph by name, who became jealous of him. because of a French cabaret girl. Marie, without any real cause. After their first taste of war. Cohen s company was sent to the relief of the wounded Among them was Cohen. He was caught helping the wounded Germans. With only a short time for trial he was convicted and court-martialed as a spy. Soon after the army moved from that place. At the time of the Armistice, Corporal Triumph contracted pneumonia. Just before he died he confessed to the officer that he was a German spy who had placed his papers on Cohen for revenge. Cohen had just been helping the wounded. Before the officer could get a sworn statement. Triumph died. The Government never saw fit to mention it. When officer Dawson was at Washington as guard of honor to the Unknown Soldier he stumbled on the first clue to his identity. In talking with a guest he learned that they had searched the battlefields for a soldier. In one village they found a grave with a wooden cross bearing the legend. “Soldat Americain. Inconnu. As they were digging up this body, a French girl tried to prevent them, claiming the body as hers. There were initials on the soldier s tunic which the guest disclosed as J. C. Not daring to believe that it was Jake Cohen, this officer visited the tomb next day. Here he met the French girl. Marie, who proved beyond a doubt that the unknown soldier was Jake Cohen.

North Dakota, there stands a rude log cabin which attracts every tourist who happens to be in the vicinity. About this cabin, according to Mysterious Bill” Jackson, present occupant and owner, is based one of the most thrilling legends of the Northwest. When the expectant tourists enter the cabin, their eyes fall upon a sight so unique and out of place in this lonely mountain shack that it causes them to gasp in amazement. There in one corner of the room stands a jolly red-faced Santa Claus about six feet tall. Fie is so real and life-like that it requires a second glance to discover that he is made of rubber and inflated with air. But to Bill Jackson, the grizzled, gray-haired old prospector, this incredulous astonishment is a common occurrence, and. after allowing the excitement to abate, he begins 1'is story, to which the tourists listen with rapt attention. THE QUIVER It was back in forty-nine that Eddie Smith and Pete Mason, two old partners, built this cabin and started prospecting along the Little Missouri. he begins slowly. Well, they tried both banks of the river without much success. and were getting discouraged, when one day Pete, while out seeking a new location, stumbled upon a rich vein about seventy-five miles north of here. He quickly returned with the news, and as they were short of supplies. Eddie was sent to Bismarck to obtain some. As soon as he returned, they intended to start for the new lode. Eddie arrived in Bismarck, and after visiting a few saloons he stole Santa, here, from in front of a store, and he and Santa made the rounds of aTf tfie safoons, together. Before the evening was over he had confided the secret of the rich vein his partner, Pete Mason, had discovered to two unscrupulous gamblers. After trying vainly to obtain the location of the strike they decided he did not know it himself, so they determined to follow him home and get the desired information from Pete Mason. When Eddie and Santa arrived here a few days later, the two plotters were right behind them, and when Eddie had deposited Santa by the doorstep and entered the cabin to find Pete, they swooped down to overpower the partners. But. as luck would have it. Pete was not at home and, after vainly questioning Eddie again, one of the gamblers, in a fit of anger, finally shot him. As the murderers hastened from the cabin, they saw a figure far up the valley, moving rapidly northward. Pete hurrying to protect his mine!' The thought struck them simultaneously, and with one accord they set out in pursuit. The day and night passed, but on the morning of the second day they saw the figure still far ahead of them. Tired and hungry, the lust for gold drove them onward. The second day and night flew by with the mad chase still continuing. As the fugitive did not appear to be tiring, they decided that he must have food with him, and they determined to trail him until he reached the mine, where they could overpower him and take possession of his food and supplies. Because of the hard crust ol snow the fleeing man left no tracks, making it necessary for them always to keep him in sight in the daytime and within hearing distance at night. However. on the morning of the fourth day they saw the distant figure halt beside a piie of rocks. Exhausted, and unable to continue any longer without food, they crept up on their intended victim. When they thought they were near enough, they jumped up and rushed upon him. Suddenly a look of amazement came to their faces and they fell forward in the snow, overcome by exhaustion and disappointment. Beside the rock pile, with one rubber foot caught between two stones, Santa Claus gazed stoically down at the two dead bodies. Eddie Smith had been avenged! The wind veered to the south, freeing Santa and blowing him back to this cabin, where he was found beside the body of Eddie, Put ccuuned a few days later from a hunting trip. Who can say but that some Unseen Power guided Santa and caused the two gamblers to pay with their lives for their crime? concludes Mysterious Bill Jackson dramatically. And the awe-stricken tourists, with sidelong glances at the jolly, red-faced Santa Claus in the corner, pass out. after generously contributing to the hat Bill passed around. What if the “Old Timers” claim that they have never heard ol Pete Mason or Eddie Smith, that Santa bears the trademark of a Chicago mail-order house, recently established, and that they personally believe Bill Jackson to be an escaped inmate of some insane asylum? Gold is where you find it reads an old proverb, and Bill Jackson finds his in the purses of the thrill-seeking tourists that come to hear him spin his weird yarn. WALTbR CORBY. '31. THE QUIVER IT A Quaker Takes Up Arms (Imaginary) ONE day. in the summer of 1775, as Nathanael Greene strolled through the woods near his home, he came face to face with a man who appeared to b a British drillmaster. After Nathanael Greene had spoken with this man he found out that the Britisher had deserted the British Army because he believed in the same principles as the American colonists of that time. Nathanael told the Britisher that he wanted to organize a regiment from his town but he did not know how to train them. The Britisher agreed to train the boys if Nathanael would assemble them and meet the next day in a field. The next morning Nathanael went to work at his father’s forge. But this particular morning his mind was not on his work. He returned from the forge and put a horse shoe on his anvil. He had shaped his horse shoe but it was not shaped well, so Nathanael went back to the forge and then returned with the shoe again. As he was shaping the shoe, his father appeared in the doorway. Mr. Greene noticed that his son's mind was not on his work and he asked. 'What thinkest thou. Nathanael?” Nathanael looked up from his anvil and answered. ”1 think of the danger of my country, father.” Thou thinkest evil thoughts, my son.” Father. I would like to organize a regiment and help save my country.” Nay, my son. your work is at this forge.” But, father. I must fight for my country.” ’Thou thinkest evil. son. go about thy work.” Mr. Greene then left Nathanael alone. Nathanael made up his mind that he was going to fight for his country, even though he had to disobey his father. That day. Nathanael had assembled all the boys of the town and they went to the field, where the Britisher awaited them. In a few days they were finely drilled and were ready to leave for Narragansett Bay. The next morning Nathanael told his father of the regiment he had organ i .ed and of which he was commander, and that they were to leave that day for Narragansett Bay. After he had bade farewell to the rest of his family, Nathanael said to his father. Forgive me. father, that 1 have disobeyed thee, but my love for my country is as great as my love for thee. Fare thee well, father.” Mr Greene then recognized the bravery and courage of his son and simply answered, Fare thee well, son, and God bless thee. So the youth. Nathanael, renowned hero of the Revolution, left for Nar ragansett Bay. Mary E. Cupido. ’33. The Mystery in the Parlor ISA T up with a start, certain that I had been awakened by seme unusual noise which seemed to come from downstairs. 1 strained my ears but it did not come again. I glanced uneasily out of the window. The sky was overcast, a strong wind was blowing, and occasional flashes of lightning and the distant growl of thunder announced the approach of a storm. A perfect night for a crime, a burglary, or perhaps a murder! And I was alone in the house! I lis- 4S______________THE QUIVER toned once more for that strange noise, but all was as silent as a tomb. Believing it only to be a product of my imagination, I was about to return to dreamland. when it came again. Faintly, yet clearly, it drifted up from below, sounding like the disagreeable scratching of steel meeting steel! Burglars at the wall safe in the parlor! 1 wiped the beads of perspiration from my forehead and tumbled out of bed. not certain whether to jump out of the window or attempt to frighten the intruders away. Finally realizing that a jump meant falling three stories to the street and that I could fare no worse than that with the burglars. 1 started slowly down the stairs. Each step downward my feet seemed to grow heavier, my heart beat more loudly, and my teeth chattered faster. When I at last reached the bottom. 1 was certain that the intruders must have been warned of my approach by all these sounds. I paused a moment and listened. The noise which had stopped during my descent continued once more. Either they had not heard me or were not to be frightened away so easily. I crossed the hall cautiously and approached the parlor door. One more st p and 1 would be across the threshold, face to face with desperate criminals. With my hand outstretched for the light switch.

After what seemed to be an eternity I felt myself falling. 1 hit the floor with a thud and myriads of tiny lights danced in tront of my eyes before blissful unconsciousness enveloped me. I realized later that the strange noise was caused by the family cat sharpening her claws on the table, but what I want to know now is. Who left that banana peel on the parlor floor?'' Walter Corey. ’31. An Incident from the History of My Family TRUTH is stranger than fiction and sometimes more interesting. Let us take a trip away from the prosaic present and for a short time live in the past. The background for this story is laid in Tuem, County Galway. Ireland. On a beautiful hill overlooking the little town of Tuem was the home of the master of Kerwin estate. His name was Andrew Kerwin and he was known locally as Master Andrew. He ruled his estate with characteristic Irish strength that verged at times almost upon cruelty. His wife and family and even his pretty young daughter felt the rule of his iron hand. One day, however, the peace and quiet of the estate was shattered. Maria, his only daughter, had eloped with a young farmer whom Andrew considered far beneath him in social status. The inevitable happened and Miss Kerwin was disinherited, and Master Andrew spent his remaining days along with much of his fortune in an attempt to forget. On his palatial estate he erected a church and school that were used by the people of the vicinity. . - On the outskirts of the esate was a little peasant's cottage wherein lived the disowned daughter of Andrew Kerwin. If this were a story based on fiction rather than fact, I could say that the estranged pair, father and daughter, were reunited, but this is based on fact, and Master Andrew died without forgiving his daughter. The beautiful Kerwin home still stands and is occupied by the local clergy. In a church nearby is a pew dedicated to the memory of Andrew Kerwin. who generously built the church and nearby school. These and the town records all stand as mute testimony to the truth of this story. James Dalton. '31. Nathanael Greene and the British Deserter SAY. friend, do you know where I can get my horse shod?” I asked of a stranger. I have been walking beside him for the last couple of days for fear of wearing down his hoofs and I am getting tired of it.” Yes, I do. In the next village there is a young fellow named Nathanael Greene who is a blacksmith and does exceedingly good work,” the stranger answered. Thank you for telling me, good friend.” I said. I walked for about five miles, leading my horse behind me. until I came upon a small village, where I found a good-sized red shack which I believed was the blacksmith shop. I stopped my horse in front of the open door and saw a large man with brawny arms, covered with perspiration. I called in and asked him if he could shoe a horse right away. He called back and said he thought he could. I led the horse into the shop and tied him to one of the many hitching posts. Are you keeping busy?” I asked him. I surely am. I ve got more work now than I can do, he answered. Well that is better than none at all.” I said. He asked me if I wanted all four shoes replaced with new ones and I told him yes. These shoes are pretty well worn.” he said to me. Yes, they ought to be. I’ve come all the way from the British frontier, I answered. He went to work pulling off the old shoes and did not have much of a job for there was not much left of them, and also the horse was so tired that he gave no resistance. Nathanael set about shaping the new shoes, first putting them in the forge and then hammering them on the anvil. To me he seemed to take a very long time in s taping them, because he had to do them over and over again. At last I got tir d and told him that he was taking altogether too long to shape out those sh es. He .aid, Well. I'm sorry, but today I can't seem to do a thing with horse shoes. 1 suppose it is because I know that the enemy are right now coming up Narragansett Bay to plunder us. We who are large and strong and willing to fight if we had someone to teach us. Whom do you mean when you say we?” I asked. Why there are a hundred men around here who are willing to fight if they knew how, he answered. 50 THE QUIVER “Well. 1 am glad you have told me of this because I may be able to help you. I am a deserter of the British army and will be able to help you if you wish.” I told him. “That would be very fine of you, but I will have quite a time persuading my father to let me go because we are Quakers and Quakers don t believe in fighting. But 1 will try and let you know in the morning.“ he said. He worked faster than ever and had my horse shod in no time. Nathanael went home that night and talked to his father about the hap penings of the day. His father protested and said no. the minute Nathanael mentioned going to war. The next worning Nathanael told me that he would get the men together that afternoon and they would drill in a field three miles away. I drilled them three days steady and soon they were one of the finest companies known. They were known as the Kentish Guards. The day they left for the battlefield. Nathanael's father said. “Maybe it is right after all. my son! Nathanael Greene went out and fought many hard battles. He went from the lowest rank of soldier to general. He won the great friendship and love of George Washington, and Cornwallis claimed that Greene was as dangerous as Washington. Joseph North.

Good alibi though, isn't it?” (Jack thinks, “Oh Lord, now she'll ditch me for fair.”) “But I'm glad, Jack, you didn’t go. Not that I wouldn’t have a good time, but see the honor you got for getting all your work on time and doing it right. Highest honors!” Jack: “Oh! I wasn't doing it for that.

The Masquerade NED BROWN was a college student who was going abroad all alone. He had a first class stateroom on the “He de France and had more money than he could spend. The huge boat left New York harbor and Ned was already one day nearer to his destination. The next morning he got up early and decided to take a stroll on deck before breakfast. While he was walking toward the eating room a big sign caught his eyes. It read as follows: “Big Masquerade Tonight Clothes for event sold at number 7 stateroom The early buyer gets the best choice” And below this in large bold letters it said, “Get yours now.'' Ned thought. “Well that isn't a bad idea. I'm going to read a book this afternoon, and tonight I’m not going to hold my chin in my hands while somebody is having a good time. After breakfast I'll pay a visit to that stateroom all right.” Ht ate his breakfast very slowly and at twenty minutes to nine he entered the room. There was a black man talking with a pretty blonde girl. Ned didn’t want to pry into someone else's affairs so he went on choosing his clothes. But he was particularly attracted to one which he said. Was a good imitation of a suit worn by Charles I. He tried this on and he remarked to the black man known as Joe. “Gosh. I never knew that Charles 1 was so fat as this. In the books I thought he looked so thin. Oh! Well, maybe, that was after he took reducing exercises. He finally managed to get a Spanish bull fighter's suit. After Ned had left, a young man entered. He was dark with black hair and eyes and not so tall. He tried many suits on and at last he went through some women's clothing and he picked for lvmself a beautiful dress of a Spanish Sen-orita in bright colors: with this costume was supplied curly hair. He tried it on and said. “Joe. how do I seem to stand as a woman? Do you think I'll attract attention tonight?” S4 THE QUIVER : —----------------------------------------------—--------—---------------- Joe answered. Yasuh! Yasuh. y'o sure look like .1 woman.’’ Tom paid for his clothes and left the room. All afternoon he read on deck. At six he went to dinner. While he was being seated he looked at the far end of the room and exclaimed. “Why if it isn't Ned Brown I wonder if he is going to the masquerade. If he is I'm going to flirt with him and see if he recognizes me.” He had his supper, and it was now time to dress for the dance. When 1 om entered the room a group ol men said. “A very nice little girl. Senorita.” Then Tom heard them say. She would be a nice match for Ned Brown over at that corner dressed as a bull fighter. Tom said to himself. So that's him is it: well I'll fool him yet. When the music started l orn was standing near a balcony waiting for a partner when he saw that Ned was coming towards him. Tom stood there-using the big orange fan the best way he could, until he heard Ned say. May I have this dance. Senorita?” They danced together many times and once Ned said. Senorita. I love you. You are beautiful. I can't wait to see your eyes.” Tom said to himself. If time doesn’t hurry my eyes will be a sight. I can already feel the Mascara running down my face, if I'm not mistaken. After a few more dances it was time to unmask. At the end of the dance Ned said. May I see you to your room. Senorita? On the way to his room Tom said. I hope he doesn't want to kiss me now.” When they reached the room Ned merely said. Good night. Senorita.” and he added. May I see you to-morrow?” Tom replied the best he could in a sweet voice. Senorita would be glad to see you.” Ned went to his room and sat on his bed thinking. She was very nice. What beautiful hair and eyes! I love her that's all. I love her! Then he said. Well. I will see her in the morning anyway. and he fell asleep. Tom was thinking altogether differently. He said. Ned must have been dumb, or I was a very good actor. Oh! What a surprise he's in for. And he needs it. too. Morning came and Ned was knocking at the Senorita's door. A sweet voice answered. Wait a minute. Senorita will ooen.” When Ned stepped into the room and saw Tom sitting on his bed. he said. What are you doing here’ I suppose you are after my girl, eh?” Tom answered. I wouldn t do such a thing. And maybe you would like to know that I was the dashing young Senorita to whom you made love.” Ned was spellbound Finally he managed to say. Tom. words fail me. but you were some actor.” Adfu.ini-: Moni. T2. Lover from Out of the Clouds THE dock struck eight. It was time for Louise to go to school. Louise. a very little miss with pretty black hair and blue eyes, was the teacher in the little schoolhouse in the town of Lincoln. This morning she felt unusually gay, but she did not know why. She put on her hat and coat and started to walk to school. As she was going along THE QUIVER ■ 55 the road, she heard the hum ol an airplane motor. She looked up and saw that the pilot was waving to her. but being a very modest little miss, she did not wave hack to him. She continued to school, but try as hard as she could, she could not get that incident out of her mind. Next morning, at the same time, as Louise was walking along the road the hum of the motor was again heard. This time she saw a small parachute drifting down toward her. When it reached the ground, she picked it up. A bouquet of roses with a little verse written on a card and signed “.I. D. was attached to it. She began eagerly to look forward to these morning incidents. The pilot s-nt down something different every morning. One morning, however, he did not appear, which caused her to be very anxious. That night she read in the paper that a U. S. Air Mail Pilot had been seriously injured in a crash. His name was Joseph Dalton. She was more than sure now that it was her lover. Wasn't this man's name Joseoh Dalton and weren't her lover's initials “J. D ? Did that not prove why he had not appeared that morning.'’ She decided to go to the City Hospital. On reaching there, she was told to go to the waiting room until she was called. In the room with her was a voung man. He said that he was a pilot in the Air Mail Service and that he had come to see his friend. Joseph. He asked her who she was and she told him her storv He laughed inwardly, but he did nor sav anything. The nurse came in and said. No one can see Joseph Dalton except his wife and his mother. Louise looked at the young man and began to cry. She said, I didn't know he was married.” He answered. Yes. and he has a little boy who is four vears old. She was about to rush out of the room when he stopped her. He told her he loved her and that he had been the one who had sent everything down in the morning. His name was Jack Drake and he had been unable to go to work that morning because he had to help look for Joseph. She understood and said. “I love you. too. Jack.” Edna M. Renaud. U. The Tramps or the Good Fairy THIS story was told to me by an old lady who was born in Ireland eighty-nine years ago. It was told to her by her grandmother as you would tell the little children of today Red Riding Hood. Once upon a time there was a man who bought a farm fifty miles Irom Dublin. He brought his wife and two daughters there to live. The women found the stone house very dirty indeed, so out came pails of hot soapy water and brushes. They scrubbed the floors and walls till they were almost white. About three weeks later when everything was settled and Dorothy, who was the youngest daughter, was sitting in front of the stone fireplace shining the steel cutlery, the pastor of their parish came in to see his new parishioners. He went out to see the cattle and horses with the father and on his way back he told the father he could not go back to Dublin that night. The 56 THE QUIVER father was very proud indeed to have the pastor stay over night in his poor unworthy home. When they were all sitting in front of the fireplace and the girls had started their knitting the pastor revealed the tale of the very house they were living in. There was a very poor family who was living there and was barely receiving a living out of the grounds. One night at nine o'clock a voice came down the chimney saying that the good fairy was to pass by about one hour later and if they would leave something good to eat and drink on the table and the door opened, she would bestow some of her good fortune upon them. Each night they would do this and would find in the morning that everything on the table was gone, and still they were getting poorer and poorer. One night the father lay awake to see the fairy. When he heard someone enter, he crept down the ladder and found two tramps gorging themselves and laughing. The people in fright left their house and evetything they owned. The pastor finished his story and everyone felt happy that he didn't believe in fairies. The next morning the pastor went away promising that he would come to tell them more stories concerning the house. Yvonne Daigneault. '32. The Left-Over Nickel BILLY, do stand still, said Billy’s mother as she slipped his blue sweater over his head. But Billy just could not stand still. Who could stand still with such a morning ahead’ A ride to town in Farmer Brown's wagon behind the old black horse was an adventure in itself. But with five whole nickels safe in his pocket, with which he was to choose valentines all by himself. Billy just had to hop from one foot to another. That set all the nickels to jingling a merry tune. There! Now you are all ready,” said his mother. ‘‘Farmer Brown will let you off at the Valentine store and will return in an hour to bring you home. You must not go anywhere else.” Billy promised, as he kissed his mother good-bye. Who would want to go anywhere else when there was a whole store full of valentines? He ran out to the gate to watch for Farmer Brown, so that he would not keep him waiting. I rot-trot, trot-trot. 7 hey were coming. Old black Betsey appeared around the corner and then the wagon, with its milk cans in the back and Farmer Brown in front. I here was just enough room on the seat for a little boy. Billy felt again to see if the five nickels were safe. He blew a kiss to his mother and climbed up into the wagon. They were off. 7 rot. trot.” sang Betsey's hoofs. 'Rattle, rattle.” sang the milk cans. ‘Mingle, jingle,” sang the five nickels. We are going to town to buy valentines,” sang Billy. THE QUIVER 57 Soon old Betsey stopped beside the valentine store and Farmer Brown lifted Billy over the wheel. Be sure to wait for me right here.” he said, as he drove on down the street. Oh. oh:'' cried Billy when he saw the Valentine window, “what a lot of valentines' I shall choose the ones I want before 1 go inside. The lacy one for mother: the one with pink roses for Aunt Rose: the automobile one for Daddy I hat is three.” he counted on his fingers. The big red heart for F armer Brown. That is four. I have one more nickel left.” 1 hen he saw that someone else was looking in the window, too. It was a little boy about his own size. But such a ragged little boy. Are you buying valentines. too?” Billy asked The little boy shook his head. “I have no money.” he said Oh.” said Billy. Then a happy thought came to him. Why I have a nickel left.” he said. “You take it and buy a valentine, too.” The little boy's eves grew big with wonder. Do you mean it’” h cried. Of course I do ' said Billy. ”1 have bought four. That is all I need. Here is the nickel. Which one do you want to buy?” I hat one down in the corner with blue flowers and little white birds is nice. My mother is sick, and I think she would like that one best,” he said, his eyes all shiny with happiness. So the two boys went into the store and bought the valentines. The shopkeeper smiled as she wrapped two flat packages and handed them over the counter to the two boys. Billy gave her the five nickels. He heard them iingle into the cash register as they went outside the shop. Soon after the other little bov bad thanked him and had run home wuh the nrecous valentine. B’llv saw Farmer Brown coming down the street. The milk cans rattled more than ever now. for they were emptv. Farmer Brown had sold the milk. All the way home Billv kept thinking that after all the last valentine was the verv best of all. because it had made three people happy, the little boy. and the little boy's mother, and himself.

Just as he strums the last note of Lover Come Back to Me” a messenger enters and tells him that he is wanted in his father's office. Upon entering the office he is told by Mr. Gont that he wishes to talk business with him. This surprises Walter for his father had always thought of him as a silly know-nothing. ‘ I'm glad that you have woke up to the fact that I can use my head for something besides a hat rack. the boy said. “Sit down, you silly nit-wit. 1 am consulting you simply because there is no one else 58 THE QUIVER to talk to. Sit down and see if you can think any clearer in that position. The bov obeyed, and the following conversation ensued. r You understand, that is. if you have an understanding, that business is on the rocks. 1 have been losing money for several years. I believe 1 will be forced to sell soon. .-•• The boy. thinking he was about to hear the same old story of business conditions over again, interrupted. Say. Dad. save your breath: you'll need it. :I've heard that story before; it’s stale: forget about it, and let s go to the show. :r- You have no sense whatsoever. It's a shame you didn't take after youi father's side of the family rather than your mother's. This is important. 1 have a chance to sell this business and get $100,000 for it.' The boy jumped from his scat. $100,000 for this joint. Say. Dad. have you got a fever? Let me hold your head. You had better accept the offer '.before your fairy godmother wakes you up.' I'm serious, son. this offer was made today. Well you're not thinking it over, are you? Sell before the prospective buyer regain his senses. By the way who is the fool? That's it. son. I'd sell in a minute if it weren't for who he is. It's Mr. Fletcher, my most hated enemy. Yes. he has money, and he dreads competition: monopoly is his idea. What’s more he dreads seeing my name above this shop.” Well it’s no honor to have your name above it. Personally. 1 think it s a disgrace. Go ahead and sell and we ll buy a home up with the mucky-mucks. and I can have a car. Come on. let's call him up. The deal was transacted that very afternoon, and Mr. Gont went hottr the proud possessor of a bank-book. His wife was pleased, and they immediately made arrangements to move. A week passed and they found themselves .in a new home on Riverside Drive. Walter was the proud possessor of a car .and a ukelele. Mr. Fletcher awoke one morning to find that he had ridded himself of a business competitor, but what seemed to his wife to be worse still they had the hated Gonts as neighbors. That same afternoon as Fletcher passed the garden of the Gont's estate he heard a ukelele and then a giggle. That fool of a son of his is entertaining some fool of a girl. he thought. He returned home that evening and was told by his daughter that she was expecting company. He’s wonderful. Daddy, you’ll like him. and the father whose love for his daughter grew every day did not ask her his name. And that evening Mr. Fletcher was faced with another surprise. In due course. Walter Gont. Jr., presented himself at the door. The father realized that the girl was verv fond of Walter, and he became interested in the lad. Two quarreling families were therefore united, and both Fletcher and Gont found that business rivals are not always enemies. Dp.i.ia D'Amico. TI. THE QUIVER 59 ----------------------------------—--------------!---------•---m--|----=-- A Tale of Richard-the-Lion-Hearted THE Dalton home was aglow with lights from cellar to attic. The long anticipated masquerade was well underway and the fun was going along full swing when Carleton Chase stepped into the brilliantly colored ballroom ' At once his eyes were attracted to a laughing group in the corner by the conservatory. Hi. Carlie. a pal hailed him from nearby. Hello, bred, responded Carleton. crossing the room to his side. What's going on here? Didn't you hear about it? volunteered a young girl bitterly. That's Maheba. the Princess from the mysterious alluring Orient, who is the center of attraction. Say. I must look into this, said Carleton. and. adjusting his mask, strode over to the group. He made a striking picture in his Richard-the-Lion-Hearted costume. When he reached the animated circle, he boldly pushed his way to the center. Under a sea-green headdress and above a tantalizing green veil gazed two soulful brown eyes. Lender their spell Carleton was only vaguelv aware of a sea-green robe. With a proprietary air. he saluted the princess with mo;k ceremony. Greetings, princess. Wilt thou tread around with me?” As he spoke, he gently raised her to her feet in position to falling into line with the other dancers. Oh. no. no. sir. nervously responded the princess. Let’s sit here and talk. Surely such an interesting man as Richard-the-Lion-Hearted must have lived richly. How did you become so brave and strong? Tell me about yourself. Under the blandishments of such a flattering listener. Carleton expanded. Minutes turned into hours only to speed by unheeded by the two so absorbed in each other. I he strains of Good Night Ladies brought no response. Only the arrival of the host and hostess caused the lovers to realize that time does not stand stfll for anyone—not even Cupid. Hastily making their apologies, the two stood up to go. May I see you home? asked Carleton eagerly. Er—I’m afraid not. replied the princess hesitantly. Someone is coming for me.” Well, let me escort you to the door then. insisted Carleton. as he Helped her on with her wrap. In her excitement, she made a frantic dash for a handkerchief in the place where a hip pocket would be. Failing here, she lifted up her robe and pulled out a man's handkerchief with which she proceeded to mor. her forehead. I he look of disgust and amazement that spread over Carleton s features brought the princess to herself. A little Oriental habit—it must seem peculiar to you. ventured the royal personage. But a sudden movement on the part of Carleton made the princess take to her heels in a hurried exit.

Staunton had won that day. because of those three touchdowns. It was her lone victory in nine years over her bitter rival. The experts predicted great things from Shorty' but. when the team took the field, a year later. Shorty” was on the bench. Everyone knew that it was because of his knee, so when the team appeared for practice, cheer after cheer rose from the crowd, as tribute to the plucky little chap. Staunton won again by virtue of a dropkick. These two victories tended to raise Staunton High in the estimation of football prospects from high school, so. when the call for candidates was made, voung giants” filled the field, and the coach had visions of an invincible team. It worked like a machine, and ran through its schedule in great shape. It beat Norwich. Army. Carnegie Tech. Boston College, and New York University by large scores and had visions of another victory over Rockledge. But. the Rockledgians would not admit defeat and at the end of the first half the score was nothing to nothing. Both teams went into the second half with the spirit to do or die. Staunton was plaving excellent football and it looked as if Shorty, who was still on the bench, would not get the chance he wanted: that of playing in the championship game in his last year. But. upsets take place auickly. and Sheldon. left end for Rockledge. speared a forward pass out of the air and ran twenty yards for a touchdown. I he point was not made, however, for Mullen, halfback for Staunton, blocked the kick The kicker's foot hd Mullen on the head and he had to leave the game. The future looked bla-k now: the best man had been hurt and there was only Shorty to put in. But. someone had to go in. so in went Shorty.” Rockledge kicked and the ball was run back thirty yards by Sullivan, left-end for Staunton. An end-run gained twenty yards, a pass netted thirty yards, and then Shorty” fumbled! He could have kicked himself around the field. He looked towards the sidelines to see if he would be taken out. but the coach didn’t say anything so he remained in the game. 1 he Rockledge quarterback, seeing the ball was so near his goal, elected to kick. I he teams lined up. There were only forty seconds to play! The ball was snapped back, the kicker's foot rose the kick was blocked: the ball rolled to one side: a flash scooped it up and was down the field in ten seconds. Dashing, leaping, squirming, the carrier crossed the line to tie up the game. It was the old. daring Shorty Simpson revived again. The winning point was made by a pass. Simpson to Sullivan. The final score was Staunton, seven: Rockledge. six. With this game Staunton captured the Intercollegiate Football Championship! Robf.rt Rynn. ’33. DREAMING Sometimes I like to run away. From all these tasks of every day. 1 love to leave dull cares behind. And seek new countries in my mind— I hrough foreign fields my fancies roam. While I tidy up my home. My work goes with surprising ease. Because I sail on magic seas. No hour is ever dull nor dead. While I can dream and look ahead. Josephine Pykosz. '31. THANKSGIVING DAY Bells are ringing loud and gay. I elling of Thanksgiving Day. We today our thanks should give, That we may always happily live. Grateful always we should be. For the things that we may see. If wealth is all we wish to gain. Then nothing for us shall remain. Sophie Balicka. ’33. WHY? I have a little sister who is always asking why. Why do the birds fly. and why can t I ? Why do the flowers grow in the damp ground? And why does a mole's house look like a mound? Why are the robins a sure sign of spring? And why when people marry do they need a wedding ring? _ Why is summer hot and winter cold? Why do people become grey when they grow old? She asks questions about everything in sight, And never stops asking till bed-time at night. It never matters whether it is Mother, Dad. or I. But I don't believe she 11 ever stop asking why. Helen D. Turner. ’31. THE QUIVER AS I LISTEN TO THE MUSIC I listened to the music with Its many different notes: It made me think of spring and warmth. And. strange to say. of boats. I'm sailing on a ship at sea That's very cool and green. While in the sea are fishes, such As eyes have never seen. And now I ride upon my horse Through woods of deepest green, Where brightest pines and palest ferns Are dimly to be seen. So all the places I have seen Come back like pictures clear. Because the music paints them all For me. as I sit here. Marie Allard. ’31. THANKSGIVING POEM We need not wait for a special day To be thankful in some special way. For every day that we shall live There'll be plenty for which thanks to give. Be thankful for the common things. The pretty flowers, and birds that sing. The sunset with its red-gold hue. Some friends, good health and work to do. Edith Armstrong. ’33. EASTER The day was bright, sunny, and gay. As the people passed on their way. Dressed in fashions new and old. On their way to the abbey old. The altar edged with lilies bright. Shone by the abbey's yellow lights. The people were grateful and did pray. Giving thanks to Him on Easter Day. Ruth Heffernan, '33.

In October many examples of the work done at Woonsocket High School were exhibited at the Woonsocket Progress Exhibition held in the Social mill. Although it was at the beginning of the school year and little material was available, the school managed to present a very creditable exhibition. Most of our departments were represented, and to climax the event the Senior High School, including the faculty, marched in a colorful procession bearing banners and flags to the Exposition where they viewed the representative exhibitions of the different industries and business enterprises of Woonsocket. On the eve of the all-important football game with Cranston for the interscholastic championship, a mass meeting was conducted at which “Tim Crane, former Woonsocket High School Athlete, and “Pete Smith, former Holy Cross grid-star, incited the students with enthusiasm by their inspiring accounts of the trad tional rivalry between the “Green Thunderbolt” and the “Maroon and Black.” To conclude the rally. Mr. Crane sang two popular songs which were received with great favor by the appreciative audience. ti6 THE QUIVER This “pep meeting resulted in the keenest demonstration of team-support in the High School’s history. The Senior Class held its annual dance on the evening of January 9. The Junior High gym was transformed into a veritable fairyland by a vigorous and energetic committee. 1'he music was furnished by Bob MacDonald and his orchestra. The result was a social and financial success. On January 26. Mr. Frank Jackson presented to the School Library a set of twelve books written by Dr. Beebe and dealing with the adventures and discoveries of this noted explorer and naturalist. These books were given in memory of Mr. Jackson s grandson. Patten Jackson, who passed away suddenly while on an expedition with Dr. Beebe among the Bermuda Islands. On February 9, an assembly held in the Junior High School auditorium was honored by the presence of representatives of the many military peacetime organizations among whom was Dr. Neal D. Williams, national vice-commander of the American Legion. Dr. Williams spoke briefly to the gathering, stressing the fact that the American Legion was a purely peace-time organization and its object was to develop a spirit of patriotism and honor in the youths of America. During “Woonsocket Health Week Dr. Israel gave a most instructive and interesting talk on the care of the human body. The Junior Prom was held May 8, and proved a great success. T EACHHRS Miss Serena Jones succeeded Miss Grace Holton as teacher of English. Mr. Lucien Bazinet was appointed to succeed Miss Laura Lafond as teacher of French. Miss Madeline Gillen and Miss Mae Owens were also added to the faculty this year. Wir Dienen Club, W. H. S. ’31 On Monday. September 15, 1930, an assembly of all pupils taking commercial subjects was held in Room 22 for the purpose of forming a Senior Business Club, which was to work for the best interests of the school. Wir Dienen, signifying “We serve,” was the name chosen by the club members. Members of the faculty, as advisers, gave brief talks to the students. Committees were appointed for nominations, name, constitution and by-laws. The following officers were elected: President. Delia Karczmarczyk; Vice-President, Richmond Earnes: Treasurer, Marie Allard: Recording Secretary. Arlene Foley: Corresponding Secretary. Lydia Cerbaro: Chairman of Entertainment Committee, Esda Marcoux: Chairman of Welfare Committee, Constance Gosselin: Committee on By-laws included Martha Mulligan.

Meetings arc held on the first Tuesday of every month at 2:45 in the lecture room. Special meetings are called to transact business matters. Sample pins were submitted to the Club for approval by the chairman, Dorothy Gilbert. A gold pin. with red enameled center, with the initials W. D. C., was selected by the Club, and is now worn by the members. Attached to the pin is a guard containing the numerals ’31. Mottoes were submitted to the Club and Vinco,” I conquer, was chosen by a unanimous vote. All business arrangements for the Senior Play, Shavings,” were in the hands of the business club. Marie Allard, Treasurer, read a very credible report in the Assembly Hall. The Club also took charge of athletic dues, and colored cards were distributed to all the students paid up in dues. Irene Blankstein, Josephine Pykosz, Dorothy Gilbert. William Keenan, and Richmond Earnes assisted the treasurer in club dues. The day before Christmas the Club held a party in Room 22. Presents were distributed by Vivian Gendron. who acted the part of Santa Claus, a short poem was attached to each gift. Refreshments were served and speeches given. A very pleasant time was enjoyed by the Club members and directors. The Club has been greatly interested in the annual Athletic Dance, and plans were made to substitute in its place a costume dance. As costume dances are rarely conducted, the Club anticipates great success. The members plan to carry on the Club after high school graduation, and in this way, to promote active Alumni spirit.

Mary Segalla, George Sood. Herbert Royce, Barbara Ross. Phyllis Moran. Muriel Owens, Olive Jacobs. Edith Browne, Betty Carson. Harriet North. Esda Marcoux, Catherine Strypek. Josephine Starzak. Banking is done with the Industrial Trust Company Bank. Iola Saillant has made out the bank reports for the entire year. Florence Wade assisted her. 63 THE QUIVER The bank messenger this year has been Richmond Earnes. The rooms having 100% for the entire year were 12, 18, 19. The rooms having 100% for all but 2 or 3 times were 2 and 16. Up to the present date, May 1. 1931. the largest deposit was $223.48, on January 6. The smallest amount was $90.34. on April 21. The greatest number of pupils depositing was 516 on October 1, and the smallest number was 306 on December 23. The average percent for the school in banking is 75.7%. Drawing Notes Pupils of the drawing classes have worked in conjunction with two organizations of the city—for public health and civic improvement. Two graphs were worked out to a large scale for the Public Health Nursing Association. One was by Richard Goddard. '32—a diagram of the number of deaths per year from different causes compared to the number due to tuberculosis. It showed a decrease of this disease, doubtless because of the widespread activities of the various health associations throughout the country. Another chart, by Ariel Thomas, ’32, was a graph of the number of free and paid visits by months from the nurses of the above association. The Early Case-Finding Campaign was helped considerably by posters made in Miss Crawford's commercial art classes. Awards were given by the association mentioned, as follows: First prize to Catherine Strypek. ’31. Second prize to James D. Tuverson, ’33. Honorable mention was given to Dorothy Perry, '32, and Kenneth Hodgkins, ’31. James D. Tuverson won first prize in the contest for the best posters advertising Better Homes Week, April 26-May 2, sponsored by the Home Making Center, Y. W. C. A., for this national movement. THE QUIVER 6‘ Physical Education Notes In athletics, 1930-31 has proved a very successful year for the Senior girls’ class team. They won without any very serious contest the championships in both volleyball and basketball. This year's Freshman class proved much better opponents to the upper classmen than the Freshman classes of previous years. T he Junior teams were as usual very good and provided some difficulty for the opposing teams. The following scores were obtained in basketball: Junior-Freshman Game Juniors 18, Freshmen 2 Senior-Freshman Game Seniors 24, Freshmen 6 Senior-Junior Game Seniors 18. Juniors 14 The latter game was played in the evening as a preliminary to the annual boys’ game between the Seniors and underclassmen.

The gymnasium activities for the girls are capably taught and supervised by Miss Doris Riggs. The Home Economics Department This year the work of the freshman cooking class was to serve formal dinners to the members of the School Board and to th■ • Senior High School Facult' All members of the different classes were given an opportunity to visit the H. P. Hood and Sons and the Turner Centre milk plants at Providence. Here the classes learned about raw milk, grade “A” and pasteurized milk. Ice cream manufacturing was also very interesting to the different classes. In May, two trips were made to Lincoln woods, where everyone enjoyed a flat stone roast. In the Junior and Senior Sewing Classes articles of underwear, suits, ensembles, cotton, woolen, and silk dresses were made. THE QUIVER______________71 History Notes Miss Connor has had the Junior classes vary their study of United States History by reading any three boks about or pertaining to our history, and having reports on the material in a manner similar to that of the English book reports.

D. One of the surest ways for gaining favor with other peoples is to join with them in public recognition of the achievements of their men and women of genius and in commemorating their outstanding anniversaries. By so doing we widen the scope of our own intelligent sympathies and increase the balance in favor of universal friendship. Among the notable celebrations that have occurred in the present century is the bimillenium of Virgil. October fifteenth, of the year 1930. provided an occasion for civilized peoples everywhere to pay homage to one of the greatest poets of all times a leading advocate of peace, and a true lover of mankind.

Consequently in this year of 1950, people all over the world are doing much to honor such a famous man. In Naples, the tomb of Virgil is being restored, and the excavation of the Cave of the Sibyl at Cumae will be completed by October 15. In Mant� a a special edition of the works of Virgil will be published, and the Italian Forestry Association, whose president is Arnaldo Mussolini, will found a Virgilian Park with plants in it beloved by the poet. Celebrations in schools, colleges and clubs in these United States are taking the forms of lectures pageants, plays, and even lantern slides. Prizes are b ing offered for literature in all forms in honor of Virgil. Many plays on Virgilian themes have been written and successfully produced. Already the output of new editions of the text and translations o Virgil and of poems and essays, stories, novels and maps, calendars, music and other reminders of the poet is very large. There is a vcrv interesting article in the July issue of the Atlantic Monthly entitled Anima Candida, by Mrs. Anne Allinson. on Virgil. Other noteworthy bits of work in honor of the great poet are: ‘Master Virgil, an Anthology of English Poems.” collected by Elizabeth Nitchie of Goucher College: The Kalendaria Virgiliana.” or “Virgil Calendars.” illustrated from ancient manuscripts: Dido, Queen of Hearts.” a novel by Gertrude Atherton: the picture map, Charta Aeneidas Geographica, painted by William Longvear: a bronze commemorative plaque with a smaller medal designed by Tom H. Jones, sculptor of the I omb of the Unknown Soldier. Probably the most interesting bit done in memory of Virgil is the pilgrimage made to places rendered famous by Virgil. These include Mantua. Virgil’s birthplace: Naples, where he was buried: Rome, where he spent most of his life and which was the scene of his activities. T hen. besides visit'ng these places, the trip follows as nearly as possible the route of Aeneas about the Mediterranean. And so. much has been done to honor the famous Virgil this year, and much more will be done before 1951 arrives. We have in our class: The Pictorial Map of Aeneas Wanderings. The Poems in Master Virgil.” Two Virgilian Calendars.” Mrs. Anne AHinson’s article in the July Atlantic Monthly. Virgil and His Meaning to the World of Today. Many pamphlets on the Virgil 1950 celebration, including “T he Tribute of Mussolini to Virgil.” Dorothy F. Taylor. '51 THE QUIVER SONNET ON VIRGIL AND HIS AENEID O!

'31 THE QUIVER______________75 Senior Play After much consideration the play. “Shavings.” by Joseph C. Lincoln, was chosen to be presented as the Senior play. Under the careful direction of Miss Metcalf, the production proved to be a brilliant success.

Orchestra FOOTBALL TEAM THE QUIVER THE QUIVER Slowly, but surely. Woonsocket High is coming back to athletic prominence. Not since 1924 has Woonsocket had such fine teams. Our two early season sports, cross country and football, were very successful. The cross country team again won the Interscholastic Championship, and won second place in the State meet. Our football team was considered the second best in the State, a worthy position for the fighting eleven that represented Woonsocket High School. In basketball. Woonsocket narrowly missed holding the championship for two years in succession, when they were nosed out by Pawtucket. Our baseball team has shown it is capable of giving any team in the State a battle, and much is expected of them this year. Although our track team has not as yet had any meets, if capable weight men for the field events are developed. Woonsocket should have a good season, for they are strong in the track events, having many good runners on the team. Football 1 he past football season was the most successful we have had in a long time athlet.cally. while financially it was the most successful we have ever had. For the first time since football was started as a high school sport, we realized a profit. Although only a little over forty-five dollars, nevertheless it v . s a beginning for future profits. Out of a total of nine games played, our aggressive eleven won seven and K but two. These two defeats were at the hands of New Bedford and Crans-t'.n. the former being the first game of the year. After this defeat the team pro-c. ded to defeat six of the league teams in a row. In the championship battle at Cranston, witnessed by over six thousand enthusiastic fans, many of whom were from Woonsocket, our boys displayed a sterling offensive game during the first half but weakened in the last half, and could r.ot stop the rushes of the heavier Cranston eleven. Nevertheless. Woonsocket gave Cranston the stillest battle that the State Champions had had all year. 82______________THE QUIVER BASKETBALL TEAM THE QUIVER 88 The success of our team can be attributed to the following three facts: 1. Fine coaching by Mr. Savaria. 2. A dominating and capable captain. Walter Highcove. 3. A team that had spirit and wanted to play football. A brilliant season was concluded by Woonsocket when the team decisively defeated Mt. St. Charles in the first football game played between the two institutions. Let us hope Captain-elect Jimmy Demers will lead as fine a team next year as Captain Highcove led last season. Football Scores At Woon. Opp. New Bedford vs. Woonsocket 6 25 West Warwick vs. Woonsocket 18 6 Woonsocket vs. East Providence 6 0 Woonsocket vs. Hope 20 0 Woonsocket vs. Commercial 19 7 Woonsocket vs. Pawtucket 14 6 Woonsocket vs. Classical 19 0 Cranston vs. Woonsocket 6 20 Woonsocket vs Mt. St. Charles 20 0 Basketball Without a single member of last year's regular five, Coach Murphy molded a team together of last year's substitutes and presented a quintet that secured second place in the Interscholastic League. Although the boys played through a very hard schedule they achieved the ambition of every Woonsocket High School quintet, that of beating Fitchburg High School, in a thrilling contest in the local gymnasium. An early season defeat by Commercial proved fatal in the league race, for although Woonsocket defeated Pawtucket here, the boys could not cope with the latter team's fierce attack in the return battle, which assured Pawtucket almost without a doubt the league championship. A defeat by Cranston in the last league encounter was caused through Mr. Murphy using his substitutes during most of the game to season them for next year. The opening of the basketball rivalry between Woonsocket High and Mount Saint Charles, found Woonsocket soundly trouncing the Mount, but in a return battle the academy boys turned the tables and defeated the high school. Incidentally each team scored a victory on its opponent's floor. Woonsocket's reversal of form can be attributed to the fact that they played without the services of Captain Russ'' Campbell, whose brilliant playing up to the time he was declared ineligible was an inspiration to the high school quintet. Continuing the series with Franklin High, which was started by the 1928-29 quintets. Woonsocket was forced to bow to the boys from the nearby Massachusetts town. This gives Franklin the edge, with two victories to Woonsocket's one. CROSS COUNTRY TEAM The attendance this year was rather small, the “gym'' being filled to capacity but twice.

These boys. Adam Zajas. Kenneth Smith. John Tonderys and Stanley Chapman also participated in the State meet and on a strange course secured second place. Two other meets were held and were easy victories for Woonsocket, the four boys finishing hand in hand in both the Burrillville and Cranston meets. The new start cross country has obtained at Woonsocket High through the efforts of these boys should make it a very popular sport in years to come. Credit must be given to these boys for their untiring efforts to place Woonsocket at the head of all the State harriers. William Keenan. ’31. 86 THE QUIVER BASEBALL TEAM THE QUIVER 87 Baseball Last year Woonsocket High had a very dismal season. This year prospects are much brighter, and it is evident that Woonsocket does not intend to be in last place another season. The fight the team has shown this year, under Captain Art” Goulet, the only athlete ever to lead the same sport in successive years, will corroborate this statement. After an eleven to ten set-back at the hands of Cranston in the opening league encounter, Woonsocket, the very next day handed the strong Providence Tech nine a non-league contestant, a six-to-five defeat in a fine game at Barry Memorial Field. The following Friday Woonsocket was the host of the 1930 champions. Commercial. After a fine pitcher's battle staged in a driving rain storm, a number of hard breaks” went against the local nine and Woonsocket lost bv the score of five to two, when Commercial put over a three run rally in the ninth inniner. The game with Classical showed Woonsocket’s stamina. After Classical had scored five runs in the first inninp. Woonsocket staged a spectacular seventh inning rally and scored eight runs easily enough to win the game. Scores of the games played thus far: At Woon. Opp 1 1 5 5 6 6 5 8 5 Cranston vs. Woonsocket Woonsocket vs. Providence Tech Woonsocket vs. Commercial Classical vs. Woonsocket Woonsocket vs. Hope Woonsocket vs. West Warwick Pawtucket vs. Woonsocket 10 6 2 10 14 13 19 East Providence vs. Woonsocket THE QUIVER IULEJX _ T rtiifi n i| i WHY' There are some weighty questions We’re trying hard to know— But just as has been usual. Our brains work very slow. In this fine Class of ’31 There are things which do occur, And if we only knew the answers Our minds would not be a blur.

Only prompt action on the part of Walter Highcove. presi dent of the Senior class at Woonsocket High School, prevented the Bus-drivers Union from going on strike at three o'clock this morning. Mr. High cove entered the hall about mid night, when the motion to strike had been passed, but by the interposition of his extraordinary command of language he molded the vast assemblage to his will and obtained a vote to reconsider. His speech, which lasted four hours and thirty-six minutes, was delivered in the rousing, if violent manner, of which he is master, and resulted in the complete overpowering of his audience. Aside from the upheaval of all time schedules for today, caused by the length of Mr. Highcove’s speech, no immediate trouble is anticipated. Mr. Highcove spoke in blank verse, but a resume follows: Gentlemen: I come here tonight with the full consent and approval of both Mr. Donlon and Mayor Toupin to urge you to consider the vaunted glory of our great metropolis whose citizens you are. and to reconsidet the step which you have just now taken. Gentlemen. Woonsocket has been called the City of Homes and rightly. I believe, but we must not forget that some of these are in Slatersville. some even in North Smithfield. INTERNATIONAL CRISIS Lina Zocca Falls Over Vienna RolL—Washington Deeply Stirred But Action Will Deliberate. While passing along Main Street yesterday about three p. m.. Miss Lina Zocca fell over a Vienna roll which lay concealed in its wrapping paper (sidewalk). and was precipitated to the ground. Mr. Harry Carlson, who was hovering near, carried her in his car to the hospital, where it was learned that she had sustained severe injury. All Washington was deeply stirred at this unexpected movement of the Austrian government. and state officials were thrown into a panic. President Highcove alone was calm, but secluded himself in his study, where he remained till a late hour last night, reading bulletins of Miss Zocca's condition as they came in. Secretary Campbell tele- graphed the famous local detective, Mr. S. Boczar, and asked him to represent the government in investigating the case. Mr. boczar will be remembered a9 the sleuth who first discovered that the hands on McCarthy's clock had stopped. Mr. Boczar reported to Washington at midnight that he could find no injury to the sidewalk and President Highcove appealed greatly cheered. The report. he said, “indicated that Miss Zocca's injury can not be serious, and it is possible that the matter may pass 'by without international rupture. At any rate.” he added. our position will be firm. The sidewalks of the American people must be protected. Gentlemen, we must not forget Adelbert Thayer. Shall we be the cause of an innocent death? 1 pause for a reply. Ah! I see by your downcast eyes that you had not thought of Thayer.” Here with true orator's in- I stinct. Mr. Highcove sized up the situation and saw his chance to work upon the sympathies of the strikers. He continued: Del is a friend of mine, faithful and just.—the elements so mixed in him, that nature might rise up and say to all the world—This was some boy!' Gentlemen. I approach my finish (interrupted by applause) but in concluding I wish to leave with you this charge: Shall Thayer walk?” SOCIETY NOTES The Old Maids Sewing Circle was entertained at tea recently by Mary O'Grady and Dorothy Gilbert.

Inc. 1 he work is rendered really valuable by the addition of forty pages of revisions and corrections by Walter Danko. English As She Is Spoke. reveals a depth of thought, unsurpassed by Miss Irene Blank-stein's previous work, English As She Is Wrote.” How 1 Became President of U. S. A.. by Mr. R. J. Mitchell. The title is a trifle misleading. for on perusal of the book it will be found that the author is past president of the United Stage-hands Association It seems that Mr. Mitchell years ago had aspirations toward the White House and in the expectation of writing a book on his success in getting there, had kept daily notes, also had a cover designed by Catherine Strypek. When he decided a few months ago to publish this work he found Miss Strypek unwilling to spend more labor on its cover and hence printed it with the title unchanged. The Model Typist.” Ruth Coffey’s latest, is a valuable addition to our new business library. Pearl Miller's latest contribution to nature's literary field is Local Horticulture.” Incident-ly the D.
