RENA WILSON. r ONWARD RADUATION time is almost here, and soon we who are to be graduated will leave Wright High — some to continue their studies, some to enter the business world, and some to enter other paths which perhaps are still indefinite. We shall no longer be united as one class, but shall be separated, each going her way and doing her work. But no matter what course we pursue after graduation, let us choose for our motto ONWARD . All of us can ' t hope to become famous and known throughout the country, but all of us — can strive to go onward. Fame is not the only thing in the world to strive for. No matter what we choose as our work after finishing high school, there will be something to work for; something that will make us want to be up and doing not be slackers. The world has no use for shirkers ; the person who is ready and willing to do her share, to assume her responsibility, is the one who makes her way in the world and wins the respect of her fellow beings. So, don ' t let us have any shirkers in the class of June ' 25. Let each one of us do our share so that Wright High School will be as proud to acknowledge us as graduates, as we are proud to claim the Wright High School as our school. Don ' t forget ' ' ONWARD is to be our slogan always. TO THE STAFF N THIS final issue of the Chronicle, we may appro- priately express our appreciation of what the retiring staff has accomplished. They have devoted their time and efforts toward developing the various de- partments, and toward improving the Chronicle as a whole. Their untiring devotion has resulted in a paper that has more inspiring editorials, more interesting fiction, more live news, and ' funnier jokes; a paper: that is better in every respect. The Paper has been left in splendid conditions so that the mcomnig staff may take up the work where they have left it. Much credit is due the Business Manager and the Advertising Manager who have made much of the success of the Chronicle possible through their splendid work in the Advertising department. The peak of their achievement is represented in the New Orleans Number, m which are found remarks of the old traditions, and bits of romance from the history of our picturesque old city. The new staff will need the co-operation and assistance of every student in Wrgiht Hi to carry on. So it ' s up to us, and here ' s for a bigger and better Chronicle in the future. MARIE LOUISE HUMMEL, MARY DUREN. A WORD OF APPRECIATION T WOULD be improper to allow this last edition of the 1924-25 Chronicle go to press without some word of congratulation to the girls who have for the past year- so well upheld the traditions of our school paper and have in so large a measure added to its glory. The February class of 1925, der the very able leadership of Miss Beatrice Davis, worked against almost overwhelming odds, but succeeded in keeping alive the spirit of the Chronicle, and each issue that they produced was a tribute to the untiring zeal of then- Editor-in-Chief and a small band of co-workers. The gratitude that the next staff felt towards these girls for their good work m behalf of the Chronicle found expression in the very first act of the new management, a surprise luncheon tendered the outgoing staff the Friday before their graduation. The present staff was elected before the expiration of the pre- ceding term, and was thus able to make a better start on their work than is usually the case. It was at once decided to issue four num bers, instead of the usual three,— necessitating increase in advertis- ing rates, subscription rates, etc. An intensive campaign was launched by the business manager, with the enthusiastic cooperation r of each and every member of the staf¥ and ably assisted by the entire Senior A class; result, a greater paid in advance circulation list than ever before. Advertising contracts poured in, in greater number than had ever before been thought possible. More money, it is true, has been collected by the Chronicle this term than has been the case during any former term of its history; and more has been given for that money. ' A Bigger and Better Chronicle , the motto of the staff has been ever the aim, and it has been realized. The secret of this success is found in the magic word,— Cooper- ation. Not alone could the staff have done this work. It was due to the cheerful assistance given at all time by anyone who was called upon to help,— and by many who did not wait to be called upon, but who volunteered, and even hunted up work to do. Every girl who secured an ad, every one who wrote an article, every one who handed in a good joke, helped to make this success possible. The unofficial staff, ' 7immie Gollmer, who was so able an assis- tant to the business manager; Hyacinth Eden, the official chauf- feur , who so cheerully contributed her car, her gas, her services to the good cause at all time ; Lois Johnson, who handled the High School of Commerce end of the work: the Senior A reporters. Dorothea Teunisson ; the other reporters who tried so faithfully to secure the coveted one hundred per cent subscription lists for their classes ; the Dramatic Club ; and literally hundreds of others may look with pride upon this year ' s magazine and say, I helped to make it a ' Bigger and Better Chronicle. ' The Editor-in-Chief, Betty Gash has had, seemingly, an easier road to travel than have some of her predecessors, due to the dis- play of this wonderful spirit of cooperation. But it does not in the least detract from the honor that is due her ; it is probably a tribute to her good generalship. She has worked hard and faithfully, always mspiring her fellow-workers and coordinating their activities into one harmonious whole. The assistant editors, Charlotte Boatner - of the Literary Department, Helen McVey the News Editor, Rena Wilson of the Catty Club, Virginia Tete of the Exchanges, Ethel Jane Westerfeldt of the Athletics, Margaret Campbell (with her jokes so ably censored by Mrs. Reed) -each has given her very best to the cause; working not only in her own department, but each and every one helping out in any other field or in any capacity in which she was needed. The Business Manager -surely we all know what Leola Dalton has done; her untiring efforts to make ours the finest school magazine published. Eight issues each school year from now on, instead of six, and a regular date for the appear- ance of the Chronicle are but two of the items for which the school owes her its gratitude. And the Advertising Managers! Not only have Belle Watson and Norma Gebelin covered them- selves with glory, but they have set a new standard in the mat- ter of the amount of advertising that can be attracted to a schoot paper. The Staff Artist, Mary Louise Ryckman, although last on the list, is by no means the last when it comes to work. Her art speaks for itself in the very clever cover cuts and captions that she has furnished us with. Most of the latter class of cuts that we have used this term have been those of the former staff, the work of their artist, Martha Levy. To both these artists is credit due for their untiring efforts in school work. Posters ! Whenever any- body wants a poster, they hunt up the Chronicle Staff Artist; and presto! the poster is produced. The memory of the staffs of the 1924-25 Chronicle will always be a bright one in the history of the Sophie B. Wright High School. Future classes will find it no easy matter to surpass the records that they made. May these girls succeed as well in all the under- takings of their lives as they have done in making ours a Bigger and Better Chronicle . Could one wish them more? — W. D. D.

TO MRS. LUSHERrour dear Principal, we will and bequest what she has long wished for, a school 10 miles from any drug store. TO OUR FELLOWMEN, who will remain in this world, we bequest the following: TO THE SENIORS, a small Eord truck with driver to be used to round up material for Baby Party, Chronicle, etc. TO THE JUNIORS, the aspiration to become as famous seniors as we are. TO THE SOPHOMORES, a book on weak points of freshmen. TO THE FRESHMEN ,an everlasting store of good humor to withstand the jibes of sopho- m.ore. . TO MISS DALY, and the Chronicle staff, we will a super- galaxy of ads and subscrip- tions. TO THE LUNCH ROOM, we bequest a vacuum cleaner, which may be used to gather up the peanut shells after the next baby party. TO MISS LAMBERTON, we will an empty early dismisal book with a police dog to keep it empty. TO MISS FLANAGAN, we will an automatic device for col- lecting books on the proper days. TO MISS SEIFERTH, we leave a cast that will be letter- perfect in their parts at the first rehearsal. TO MISS LITTLE we leave a lo ' ng waiting list of prospective campers. TO MISS BUCHANAN, we will an annual visitation of but- terflies that will alight on her desk and expire blissfully for art ' s sake. TO MISS PITOT, we leave military equipment to aid the chorus in attacking. TO MISS DUPRE, we will a parrot that will say at the correct moment — ne soufflez pas. TO MISS ECHEZABAL, we will a medal presented to us for her in acknowledgment of the good work she has done in spreading la lenqua Castillana . TO MISS MACHAUER, we leave a skeleton so she will not have to use herself as a model in her physiology class. TO MISS DELACROIX, we leave a money order which she may use to replace her cypress knees by cork ones. TO MISS PERKINS, we will a class that is intelligent but dumb (not the up-to-date mean- ing for the word.) TO MISS HARRISON, we leave seniors that prefer Brown- ing to Harold Bell Wright. TO MISS HUNTER, we leave a life-size picture of Dr. Johnson partaking of his mid-day meal. TO MISS VICKERS, we leave a small court within walking dis- tance of the school where her class may visit monthly. TO MISS RIGGS, we leave pupils who are as ' ' children enter- ing the Kingdom of Heaven . TO MISS VALLAS, we leave an ample stock of tiny dainty shoes that will continue to de- light her pupils. TO MISS KINABREW, we will a time clock so that she may boast of her roll-call being not only perfect, but automatic. TO MRS. COLLINS, we leave a fund for entertaining the tardy girls at tea, thus turning a hard- ship into a PLEASURE. SO THIS WILL is drawn by Lawyers M. Campbell and C. Gonzales, on this twenty-second day of May in the year of Our Lord, nineteen twenty-five, from dictation of the Secretary of the said June Class of 1925, in the presence of Witnesses. I 1 I 1 Class Mntin Ad astra per aspera (To the stars thru difficulties.) September 15, 1922! What a wonderful day that was to us ! For our dreams were beginning ' to form themselves into tangible things. Even the remarks made by scornful and superior seniors could not take away the glamor from that memorable day. Here as Freshmen we began the first lap of the road to success and graduation. The Seniors forbade us to wear earrings and confiscated all the earrings found on Freshmen. After days of new work we were given our baby party. One morning each Freshman was handed her bottle invitation, and that evening we were allowed to see in that wonderful Baby Partly, the handsome and daring rogue (the Shiek). Another fea- ture of the evening was the trip to baby-land, wh ere we saw the fattest baby in three countries being weighed. Soon our baby days passed and we were Sophomores Oh ! how glorious it was to lord it over the Freshmen. Then last September we were made seniors. Oh ! the glamour of that little word. We then gave our very own baby party, a unique circus, which was a great success, and made us famous far and wide. Now with our class p)ay and class feast, we are on the last lap of the road which has led to achievement. As words are a poor form of expression when the heart is in them, we can only say, Dear Wright High ! we shall never forget you . mm Snngs, Mnufes anb looks The Eternal Three. L. Amato — Sunshine. E.

THE OLD ROSE AND SILVER GIRL BY VIRGINIA TETE can ' t you come to of the girls ' high ' Say, Hardie, the graduation school tonight, with me? These words were the first ones which fell upon the ear of Harding Connor, as he picked up the tele- phone after its impatient ringing. ' ' Aw, Bill, what ' s the use? re- plied Connor, rather sadly. ' T don ' t know anyone in this town, least of all any of the girls who are gradu- ating. So why should I go? ' ' That ' s just the reason why you don ' t know anyone, retorted Bill savagely, you won ' t go anywhere, so how can you expect to meet peo- ple? Chuck the old books and come along — I don ' t want to go alone! And say — you know that cute girl I was talking about — Daisy Riley — well, she ' s in the graduating class. And if ever a girl was a peach she ' s one! Come on! I ' ll stop by for you at eight! Well, all right then, repHed Harding slowly. He replaced the receiver upon the hook and turned to remount the college stairs. After all, anything was better than remaining in the dormitory, night after night, when all the other students were out with their dates or having other good times. Life seemed very lonely to Harding Connor, away from home, in a new college, among new peo- ple, and seeing new customs and new sights. Rather a hard boy to understand, he had not made many friends in his college days. With his Northern mien and accent, he appeared to be cold and reserved, and most of the other students kept as well out of his way as they could. That is, everyone except one Wil- liam Woodward, another Tulane student, better known as Bill, left him alone. A warm friendship ensued between these two entirely different boys. The stranger — tall, black-haired, gray-eyed, and tanned — the other — blonde-haired, blue- eyed, and of medium height, were also entirely different in disposition. Bill was fun-loving, gay, and happy- go-lucky, while Harding presented a disposition exactly opposite : seri- ous, steady, and passionate, with a wealth of deep feeling and thought. The hall was rather crowded as Harding and Bill entered, but they were fortunate enough in securing two seats well up towards the front. Quite a crowd here, remarked Bill, gazing back at the sea of faces. And hot, too ! exclaimed Hard- ins, ' . Aw, keep still, you ' ll forget all about the heat when you see the girls ! Jove, it ' s beginning now, the orchestra is going to play ! Oh, boy! I bet Daisy looks swell! Harding stood up as the orches- tra played America and gazed at the stage with its decoration of palms and ferns. Why had he come? Why had he not remained in his room perusing his Latin books or his Trig. ? Even that was better than sitting in a room of hot, stuffy people, preparatory to hear- ing several addresses and essays. Why had he come? As he sat down. Bill nudged him. The grad- uates were entering. Small girls, tall girls, blondes, brunettes, slim girls, fat girls, they interested Harding not a particle, and not until the were seated on the platform did he actually glance at them. ' ' That ' s Daisy — the small blonde one, seated exactly in the middle of the first row, whis- pered Bill. Absently Harding turned his eyes upon her, but they never reached that far, for his gaze halted abruptly upon the face of the girl next to her. Harding ' s heart beat strangely ! He, the Sphinx as the boys had nicknamed him, hadn ' t been the least interested in girls be- fore. But this one, well, she was different ! Dressed in old rose and silver, her dark eyes sparkling, with excitement, a band of silver ribbon wound about her curly hair, long, well-rounded arms, white hands, one of which held a bouquet of pink rosebuds, she presented a picture any artist would have given his very life to paint. What a girl ! breathed Harding softly, old rose and silver ! Fascinated he gazed upon her. Oh, to learn her name, to meet her, to speak to her! Harding would have given all his possessions to do this. Eagerly he awaited the time whence the distribution of the diplomas should take place, so as to learn her name. Miss Daisy Annalee Riley! said the speaker. A ' hereas Miss Daisy Annalee Riley arose smiling, to receive her diploma. Unfortunately Harding was doomed to disappointment, for the burst of applause which greeted Miss Riley ' s presentation was long and loud, and completely drowned out the name which he longed so to hear. An instant later the old rose and silver girl had her diploma I and he had not learned her identity. Just like me! he muttered grimly. This is my hard luck again ! No sooner do I see the girl of my dreams, than she proves to be as distant and unattainable as the stars above ! Once more down the aisle marched the graduates, the old rose and silver girl passed quite close to Harding, and she was gone! Vanished like a beautiful dream forever out of his life, it seemed. Gone but not forgotten. Dimly he heard Bill ' s voice and felt the touch of Bill ' s hand upon his shoulder. Come on, Hardie, what are you waiting for? To be locked up in this place? The girl! Who was she? asked Harding, dreamily. Girl? Which one? There were one hundred and twenty-five grad- uating. The one next to Miss Riley. Huh, I didn ' t notice any of the others. Daisy ' s good enough for me! Two weeks later the college term had drawn to a close, bringing with it the completion of Harding ' s Junior year. Harding was up in his room packing his valise preparatory to leaving college. The plan was for him to spend a month at Bill ' s country home in Hammond before returning to his lonely home up North with his uncle. As he was placing the last of the clothes into the valise, a program fell from one of the pockets. My old rose and silver girl ! he murmured. His eyes were dreamy and pensive as he fingered the only connecting link between him and the girl — a graduation program ! With a sigh he placed it in his left vest pocket and closed the valise. • •  A country road, a fine horse, a wide-awake young American. Thus the scene presented itself the great day that was to make such a vast difference in Harding ' s future life. He had been riding for the great- er part of the afternoon and, as it was nearing dinner timei, he turned the horse ' shead about. Jock, the best horse in the Wood- ward ' s stable, was only too will- ing to turn homewar d to his hay and fodder. Suddenly Jock rear- ed and his ears stood up very straight. Hi, Jock! cried Harding. Steady, old boy! Nothing ' s wrong ! He soon changed his mind though. The clatter of hoofs, a piercing scream, a young girl clasp- ing a horse ' s neck, told of a run- away, and ' ere many moments had passed the pair sped by. Let ' s save her, Jock! cried Harding, giving the horse a re- sounding blow. Jock, unaccus- tomed to blows of any sort, snorted and raced madly after the runaway. Only ten feet away from them, and with a scream the girl released her hold and fell to the ground while the horse sped on. In a mo- ment Harding was down on the ground, the girl ' s face in his arms. As he raised her, her hat fell off and Harding started as he gazed at her. Old rose and silver girl ! he cried. It was she! With trembling hands he lifted her head and leaned it against his shoulder. She was breathing ! But what to do ? They were a goodi five miles from any settlement and he most certainly could not carry her that far if she was badly hurt. As he was con- templating the best step to take, the girl herself settled the question by opening her eyes and looking at him. Why — er — where — she tried to speak. ' ' Don ' t worry, Harding reas- sured her, ' ' you ' re all right now. How do you feel? Oh, I remember — Dixie became frightened and ran away ! I came after you but you tum- bled off before I could reach you, said Harding. For the first time she looked clearly at him. Why he was nice, young, and had such pretty eyes and a hearty laugh. She found her- self laughing too. Are you sure you ' re all right ? asked Harding. Sure, now I have to worry about getting home. I ' m staying at the Rileys ' . My name is Rose Wal- ters, and yours? Harding Connors, answered Harding gravely. So her name was Rose, too! How suitable! I ' ll take you home. Before she knew it she was lifted up in his strong young arms and placed on Jock ' s back. Harding climbed on the horse and off they started. Moonlight walks, picnics, dances, and long days of happiness for both followed that incident. It was two weeks later that Harding received the answer he de- sired so much. They were seated in the summerhouse in the moon- light ; the witchery of the moon and the summer night had cast its spell upon both of them and they were very serious. Rose, said Harding tenderly, I want to tell you something. I saw you first at your graduation and I called you my old rose and silver girl. I have dreamed about you ever since and now that I see you in reality I can hardly believe there is a happier person living. Rose, please say I ' ve made you care for me ! Her answer was in her eyes as she raised them to his. With a glad cry he clasped her to him. My old rose and silver girl ! he murmured huskily as he held her close. LOVER ' S land ' There, is a land quite near our homes. (And yet it is remote.) A land reached not by road or path. Reached not by train or boat. ' Tis covered with grass and shrubs And flowers too, aflame; Its beauty is enhanced by Its sunsets ne ' er the same. ' Tis full of meadows, brooks and dells, Oh ! it ' s a pleasant land ! I ' ve never been there, but I know It ' s called Lover ' s Land. Oh ! Mary, won ' t you go with me And sit upon the sand And watch the moon, the sunset, dawn In glorious Lovers ' Land. C. Sadler. DISSERTATION OF A FRIED WEENIE There once was a bow wow wow, Who always asked how how , how It would feel in a frying pan. He asked ' the cow cow cow, And he asked the meow meow meow. But they ' d never been in a frying pan. He asked the quack quack quack, Who answered back back back It was awful in a frying pan. But still that boW wow wow Had to know how how how It would feel in a frying pan. So he asked the pig pig pig. Who was no prig prig prig How it would feel in a frying pan. (And this is what the pig answ- ered.) ' T ' ve never been there, squealed the pig, But iplease don ' t think me a prig. When I tell you that all my fore- fathers Fried there along with all my fore- mothers. And my race is eons older than Sam. I descend from our ' great ' father Ham And Bacon was great uncle to me. He lived on an isle ' cross the sea. But my world-renowned fame, to- day On the seasoned weenie worsts lay Where you and your brothers shall come And together we ' ll be ground into ; one. (And here ' s the interesting part.) Into the hot, black, greasy. Frying Pan We are dumped right in to feed the great god man ! And that is how how how That little bow woow wow Learned how it felt in a frying pan. Detla Jinks. A PORTRAIT The girl sat quietly and gnawed her pen. Why did not inspiration come? Others received it, some abandoned it ; she has never known it. Sitting there, she felt sure that if once it did come to her, she could write, and it would be really good. But what could she write ? That was the point; the desire to do something, backed by an intelligent conception of where the ability lay must be neglected for lack of sub- ject. She was very sleepy. Her eyes half closed themselves and the paper before her became a blur. She dared not read even now what was already there; she dared not stop making -all those queer little gray lines on the smooth white pa- per (which signified only another way of talking to herself) for fear she would stop thinking. Her fin- gers were cramped. Her head was beginning to feel very heavy and she was vaguely aware that all sounds above stairs had ceased, so the family must have gone to bed and the hour be late. Then the girl fell asleep. This is what she dreamed : Mary Smith! Mary Smith! Hurrah for Mary Smith ! the girls were crying. The clapping of hands gave way to the stamping of feet, and cheers rang through the hall. They were all tremendously proud, these girls, of one in their midst who had so distinguished her- self; they were carried away with hero-worship, they were proud of being her schoolmates, and subtly reminded each other of the times when one or another of them had done so and so together with her, or had been told such and such a thing by her — Then she appeared. Out between the curtains onto the front of the stage, in the center of the stage she stood. Always had she been there, in their midst, up above them where all could see, where all could admire, thrilling before their applause and holding the center of the stage. Very graciously, like a queen, she acknowledged their trib- utes. Then she spoke. It mattered not what she said, they ' d applaud again anyway, and so she thanked them for this and that and said what her teachers had told her to say, and did a great many other trivial things— that were expected of her — but always was she con- scious of her position, and the ad- miration and the applause. It had always been thus. A leader, whose utter disability to be anything but honest with herself prevented the dieveloping of a superior complex which, if pushed too far, might have proven disastrous to her suc- cess. Success? It meant nothing. Brilliance? Leadership? It was all bluff; she had fooled them all, fel- low-students, teachers, outsiders — everyone but herself. Self she could not fool. It made her uncom- fortable — took away some of the momentarily tremendous satisfac- tion, chilled some of her pride. All this without trying. Self persisted, no effort at all ! Just remembering that she must always bluff, bluff, bluff — until it became a habit and she did it instinctively. How much better might she have acquitted her- self if she had tried! How much more might she have accomplished for herself, if she had tried. Sud- denly the girl looked down. She seemed to be standing there before them all, entirely divested of her clothing. This sometimes happens in dreams; but she did not know she was dreaming. Startled and ashamed, she ran to hide herself. The corn crop of 1923 is estimat- ed by the government bureau of ag- ricultural economics at 24,702,000 bushels, on an area of 1,604,000 acares, with an average yield of 15.4 bushels. The total value amounts, to $20,937,000. A STRAWBERRY PATCH Bob Ellenworth was walking slowly along Poplar Avenue one hot summer afternoon when he had a sudden desire for some delicious strawberries. He was just in front of the deserted old Fillemore house where there was a patch of most beautiful berries. The temptation was too strong, so he lifted the latch and went in, but no sooner had he done so than the trouble began. As the gate closed, someone ran out of the strawberry patch into the house. Bob ran after him, maybe it was a tramp or someone on the same mission as himself, thought Bob, but anyway he followed. As he ran in the back door, he heard the other person running in the next room. The chase continued in one door out the other, but never did Bob get near enough to see the face of his victim. ' ' Who is it ? What does he want ? Why doesn ' t he stop ? Must be some titleholder for distance running, panted Bob. Just at this moment the person ran up the broad stair- case. Bob followed a few steps be- low. The runner stumbled and be- gan to fall and as he struck Bob he grabbed for the rail, but in vain, so down they came, landing in a bunch at the bottom of the stairs. Neither moved for a few minutes. Bob was the first to sit up and as he looked at his companion he saw not a boy from the town nor a tramp, but a girl. The girl opened her eyes then and such eyes as she had — they were of the darkest blue. Bob thought he had never seen such, eyes. ' ' Who are you? she asked slowly. Me — er — I — oh ! I am just Bob EUensworth, replied the surprised Bob. What made you frighten me: hke that? What are you doing here, anyway? Why, I came for strawberries, just as you did. And say, Who are you? I am Jamie, the daughter of Professor Fillemore, the last of the wScuthern Fillemores, the girl ans- wered proudly. She continued, I came here to- day to see about getting the house ready for father and me to occupy next week. That ' s why I am dressed this way. I never expected a visitor. I am sorry to have intruded, but , I never expected an occupant. Both of them laughed at this and. then the girl said, Come, let ' s get some of those lovely berries, ' am starved. No ! Let ' s go over to my house right next door. Mother would be delighted to meet the daughter of Professor Fillemore. We can get real food there. Come, I am hun- gry after that race; you can surely run. Why, I can ' t go in these clothes, answered the girl, glanc- ing at her shirt and trousers. ' Teople would talk and I wouldn ' t like to give a bad impression the first day. , ' ' ' Oh, we can go over the back fence. All right, there ' s my suit case. Let ' s run. Across the old grass grown walks they ran to the back fence and disappeared on the other side in the Ellensworth side door. Three weeks later the same girl and boy — at a different time and in a dif¥erent scene: They are walking down the avenue before the Ellensworth house, in the moon- light and both are glad that there was a patch of strawberries in the Fillemore garden. C. Stewart. A ROMANCE In May 1864, the situation in th South w s rapidly becoming desperate General Grant had crossed the Rapidan and was gradually causing Lee to fall back towards Richmond. A se- ries of battles were being fought, and, as these wevQ terminated, messengers were constantly sent back and forth between Grant and those under his command, carrying important dispatches. Among these commanders was General Merideth, a brave but stern soldier. For the most part he had seen but little fighti ' ng and had remained as an oiit-guard of Grant ' s army. He had made a most beautiful and spacious Southern mansion his headquar- ters, and was living there with his only daughter. On the sixth day of May the frightful battle of Cold Harbor was waged; almost at the same moment there w as assembled in that stately old mansion, all the beauty of Gen- eral Merideth ' s army. It was one the season. Gay couples danced gracefully to the stately music. In one corner attentive young of- ficers were grouped about one of the loveliest women there. In- deed she was scarcely more than a girl, seventeen or eighteen, yet there were few whose grace or beauty might be compared v ith that of this lovely girl, Jocelyn, the only daughter of General Merideth. Weary of the gayety and the laughter, around her, tired of her boyish admirers, she rose, and with a queenly grace, crossed the floor of the ballroom. She mounted a broad staircase, leading to galleries that encir- cled the court yard-like ballroom. Opening upon the broad gallery was several rooms the largest of which her father used as his of- fice. A dim light was burning there; and at the end of the gal- lery looking thru an open win- dow stood a sergeant. She crossed to the office intending to enter and rest there a while, but as her foot touched the threshold she was terrified by seeing a man spring before a desk-drawn which he had apparently been ramsack- ing. A startled cry burst from her lips. Then her mind grasped the situation — he was a rebel — he was searching for some important dispatch General Grant had sent to her father. Even as this past thru her mind, she heard the run- ning footsteps of the sergeant, then he appeared in the doorway ; for a moment he appearde con- fused, and glanced from one to the other. Then he spoke. ' T beg your pardon, Mistress Merideth, but I thought I heard you cry out, I ' He paused. Yes, sergeant, you did. She moved toward the man, who gazed at her half-defiantly — half admiringly, and slipped her hand thru his arm, she continued, I don ' t quite understand just what has happened, sergeant; My com- panion and I came up here to look for my fan, and, as we entered the room, someone sprang from before the desk, and rushed thru the door. I— I — can ' t understand just what has happened. You — You don ' t suppose anyone was trying to steal my father ' s papers, do you? Here Jocelyn looked as though she might faint, the she rallied, Quickly sergant, post soldiers in front of all doors that open on the gallery and cut off his escape, I — Oh! My heav- ens, I think I shall faint, quickly, Sir, she turned to the man be- side her, ' ' Come take me to the window, I need air. She turned and, half supported by her companion, passed the amazed sergant, and walked to the well shaded window at the end of the gallery. Here she seated herself on the window seat. — Hurry, she cried in a low voice ' ' You must go before they discover our little farce. Then for the first time, the stranger spoke thrilling the girl as never before, by his slow southern voice. You ! he cried, his voice in- tense with emotion. Will you not be discovered ; your part in this made known? Will you not be involved in scandal, dis- graced?? Oh what does it all matter, go, go before you are discovered, you must, or please hurry please. Her voice, ; usually cold was now passionate and pleading. Seizing her hand he knelt at her feet, I will do as you tell me, he said humbly, Only first may I not know your name? At these words intense suffer- ing passed over the face of this girl. ' Oh Father in Heaven. I had ahiiost forgotten ; what am I doing? Turning she said, You are a Rebel, you are my enemy, yet I, I. the daughter of General Merideth am aiding in treason , she laughed bitterly. Go , she said, before it is too late. Go, or I may repent . ' One moment, he picked her handkerchief from the floor. ' ' This, he said i courteously, May I take it with me? Yes, she answered wearily, and then her manner changed quickly. Fly, fly before it too late; do you not realize it is death to remain? I go , he said, then taking her hand and he kissed it reverently, and, with a last gaze in those wonderful eyes ,he turned and slipped silently down the dark stariway by which he had enter- ed ; turning Jocelyn sank half fainting upon the seat beside her. A, few moments passed and Jocelyn drew herself together. A glance along the gallery was suf ficient to assure her that in the excitement, and under cover of the dark shadows, she had re- mained unnoticed. Turning to the same dark stairs, she ran swiftly down to the ballroom, and joined her former compan- ions. She allowed herself to be claimed for several of the follow- ing dances. Then an officer stod before her, His Excellency, General Meri- deth, wishes ot see you at once. Feigning surprise, Jocelyn arose and once again made her way to her father ' s office. She found him in the center of the room ; beside him was the visit- ing commander and about him a circle of officers. Curtseying low, she stod before him inquir- ingly. Jocelyn, he said sternly, 1 command you to tell all you know concerning this matter. I don ' t quite comprehend, she replied, again feigning sur- prise. Do you mean about the robber I discovered? Yes, he answered shortly, The robber, the Rebel, or the spy, as you wish it, who has es- caped from our hands. Oh — then he was really a Rebel and did — Interrupting coldly, her father said, I want the story. Oh, but there is no story, ' Jocelyn cried, I just came up here to look for my fan, and I saw someone by the desk. I screamed and the sergeant rushed in. I told him what had taken place, and then as I was nearly fainting, I left the room with my companion. • Her father shrugged his shoul- ders. I think General, that you had better take charge of this and question the girl. This con- cerns me too nearly, he bowed. The General smiled acquies- ence. Tell me the story once more, and this time in detail. Again, and more fully Jocelyn repeated her version of the inci- dent. When she had finished the General stood in grave silence for a moment. ' I am sure you have spoken truly ; though perhaps you have the whole incident trifling, and hold that your part in it is of no censequence. He bowed ; Jocelyn curtseyed deeply. She said nothing but the look she gave him was full of gratitude, and he smiled back in sympathy and understanding. Her father, however, was not so easily satisfied. A week later Jocelyn returned to Washington to take up her residence with an elderly aunt. Nearly a year passed; the light hearted Jocelyn was now a woman. Coldly and proudly, yet sadly she moved in the highest circles of Washington Society. But, try as she might, Jocelyn could not for- get that one confederate soldier. Not even his name was known to her, yet his image was stamped upon her mind indelibly. She was torn by her passionate ideals : she admitted to hersilf that at least she admired, if not loved, this southerner; but she was r northerner, she was the daughter of a northern general. Again and again she told herself that she must put such ideas of love from her mind, but she found it impossible. At last came the news of the capture of Richmond, and of the surrender at Appomattox. With it came her father. On the after- noon of the following day, a caller, Stanley Lee, was an- nounced. Turning graciously to receive him, she saw before her, her Southern lover. For a mo- ment everything was blurred be- fore her eyes, she felt his arms about her, she heard passionate words upon his lips, then steady- ing herself, she drew back firmly. Don ' t, she cried, Don ' t, for heaven ' s sake, you make it too hard, I cannot bear it. You must go — you are a Rebel . No , his voice was agonized, No, I cannot. You do love me. - You must marry me. No , she repeated, I cannot. Then, he said gently, Do not make it final. For two years I will remain here, constantly near you. Promise that the moment you find your convictions altered, you will tell me. Promise! I do promise ' she said, if ever I can see my way clear and honorable, I will let you know, by placing, at sunset, a red ribbon upon the garden gate. She paused, then and now — good- bye. Sobbing, she left the room. That same day there came the gratifying message that that eve- ning the President and his wife would dine with them. The guests arrived punctually. After some conservation, the General arose to show his guests over the grounds. Taking Mrs. Lincoln ' s arm, he left Jocelyn to follow with the President. Soon the couples became separated. Then Jocelyn led the President into the conservatory. As they strolled along the aisles, na utral- ly enough the conversation turned into political channels. Then President Lincoln spoke of his cherished plan for helping the Southern States. He mentioned these so kindly and lovingly that Jocelyn looked at him in amaze- ment. But, President Lincoln, I thought it was our duty to sever all relationship with these Rebels — I — I, she paused, then con- tinued slowly, Oh, President Lincoln, am I wrong? Tell me — would I be a traitor, would I be wicked, if I loved a Southern man? The President looked upou her kindly, laying his hand upon her arm, he spoke gently: My daughter, the Southern people are our kinsmen. They fought for an ideal ; it is not for us to judge them. If you love a man, enough to marry him, he must possess but three qualities — he must be a man who is clean, he must be honorable, he must be strong. Remember this, my daughter; and may God bless you. Awe stricken , Jocelyn gazed upon his face. Then she walked slowly to the garden gate, un- pinned a re,d iribbon from the throat of her dress, and tied this upon the post. For a moment she stood gazing at the slowly sinkinof sun. Then a door across the way was thrown open, a fig- ure rushed across the road. It was Stanley. It is sunset! You are by the gate! There is a red ribbon! he said, does it mean, does it mean — She nodded dumbly. With a leap he was over the low wall. Im- petuously he extended his arms, but she shook her head, dropping her eyelids coquettishly. No, sir, she cried. You must court me properly first. Besides, she continued seriously, I do not mean that I accept you, but that my scruples concerning Southern men have been removed, and by no less a personage than the President him- self. Come, you must meet him. Together they approached the place where the President was still standing. With a few simple words, Jocelyn made the situation plain to each. Then she said, Stanley, you must seek permis- sion of Father to visit me, and turning she added : President, won ' t you be so kind as to intimate to father such views as you have expressed to me? Then she led them tO ' a pleasant spot where her father and Mrs. Lincoln were seated. Having in- troduced Stanley, she turned to Mrs. Lincoln. Come, let us leave the men to themselves. Let me show you something of mine. It was late that night when all the company had departed. Then the General calledi his daughter to him and informed her that not only had Stanley asked permission to woo her, but that also the President had himself seconded the match. ' Come, daughter, ' he concluded, ' ' will you not tell me just how you met Stanley Lee? And very care- fully Jocelyn told all concerning Stanley, even the words of the President. Then she added ' , ' ' Father, I love Stanley; but be- fore I marry him, I shall prove him clean, honorable, and strong. The following night there oc- curred that heart-rending tragedy — the assassination of President Lin- coln. Jocelyn, remembering his last conversation with her, regarded these words as a child would regard the dying command of its parent. Conscientiously she remained true to her resolve not to marry Stanley until she knew him to be the pos- sessor of all three virtues. Nearly a year passed before she was sure. Then, one night she stood before him with such shining eyes that he knew immediately that something unusual had taken place. Jocelyn, he cried, Jocelyn, your love, has it come at last? I have waited patiently, are you ready ? With a joyful smile, she ans- wered firmly, I am, Stanley. Without a word he put his arms about her gently, and, for the first time their lips met. A month later, one of the fairest brides ever seen in the capital ad- vanced down a flower-strewn aisle to meet the bravest officer in the Southern army. Kitty Ruth Bacon. ALGEBRA (MY DOOM) ' Twas midnight on the ocean Oh, yes, that lovely song But, ' twas midnight in my bedroom And the light was burning strong.

This has been an annual occurrence in this school for many years, and is al- ways looked forward tO ' with great anticipation. It was held this year on Friday, May 8. The program consisted of two plays, ' ' Pauvre Sylvire and ' ' La Surprise dTsi- dore, prepared by different girls from Miss Roman ' s and Miss Du- pre ' s classes ; recitations by Rowena Duffy, Alice AVest, Cora Sadler, and Comita Streiffer; a dance by Eliska Tobin and Virginia Tete; a violin solo by Dorothy Todd; and French chorus by the French classes. The event proved a big success and was enjoyed by all. Second only to French Day was the feast of the French Club. This took place the Friday following French Day. Through the kind- ness of Mrs. Lusher we were al- lowed to use one of the large base- ment rooms. Delicious sandwiches, salads, ices, cake, etc., were served. Needless to say, this proved a gala event. In closing, the Club has asked me to wish the Chronicle all kinds of success for next year, and hopes it will continue the good work it has begun. Bernice Mansberg. DRAMATIC CLUB NOTES On Tuesday, May 5, the Dra- matic Club held its monthly meet- ing. As it was better music week, some of our girls who are talented in both music and dramatics gave us a scene from Madame Butterfly. The overture was rendered by the special orchestra of milk bottles, pop bottles, a watering can and a piano, the musicians were all fin- ished artists who, by their skill, showed years of sincere practice. The next number on the program was a recitation entitled Casey, which was very well given by Adele Craig. Our most distinguished guest at the meeting, Miss Perkins, was asked to entertain us. This she did by accompaning the Chemistry Cho- rus in their H2SO4. The concluding number to our program was several jazz selections by Winnifred Heath. We did not close with the usual refreshments, much tO ' the sorrow of the girls, but maybe they are preparing for a real treat next time. Well, we ' ll have to wait and see. The February class of 1926 held it meeting March 31. The election of officers was as follows : President, Betty Donaldson. Vice-President, Adele Dufour. Secretary, Esther Bye. Treasurer, Lorena Mansefield. THE BOTANY CLUB The Botany Club is following the old saying of All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. There has been no end of good times. So many parties have been given that we fear that all play and no work is going to make Jack a dull boy. The Botany Club gave a grand initiation, with plenty of spooks and ice-cream. The May Day party was lovely. Besides King Dorothy Hennessy and Queen Myrtle Long, in their flowing robes of green and white, there were four dukes and maids and two pages (who were more like paragraphs), and a court jester. The king was presented with a huge cabbage filled with cigars, and the queen received a bouquet of carrots. The queen pre- sented her maids with beautiful lockets, and her pages with yery pretty rings. The kind presented the id ' ukes with handsome green and white watch fobs. Green and white ice-cream and cake were served, and games were played. We have lately had a flower show. The show was one of the finest we have ever given, and proved a great success. Miss Bu- chanan, Mr. Abale and Mr. Hines were judges. The first prize for the most artistic table w as won by Dorothy Hennessy and Lorelia Wooley ; for the best arranged vase, Ruth Bentley; the best wild nature, efl ect, by Dorothy Hennessy and Lorelia Wooley; the best cut flow- er, by Bessie Pringle ; the most original idea, by Margaret Hymel and Susie Roberts ; and the best potted plant, by Elvira Heitman. The tables were very lovely and the collection of plants large. After the show a house-warming was given to the graduated members. All the members are working hard to make the school proud of the Botany Club garden. Margret C. Hymel, Sect. CHEMISTRY CLUB On Wednesday, April 22, the Chemsitry Club held its regular meeting. The program, which con- sisted of talks, songs and poetry, was most interesting. A demon- stration by Miss Perkins added much to its interest. The new Laboratory baby ' s name was cho- sen. It ' s Chris. How do you like it. It was so late, however, when we finished our program and choosing his name that we had to postpone the christening tO ' the next regular meeting, when all his parents and grandparents will be present. Rena Wilson. CHEMISTRY CLUB As customary, the Chemistry Chib went on Holy Thursday to pay its annual visit to the American Sugar Refinery. (You who; are going to take Chemistry, don ' t miss it.) We had the most wonderful and most interesting time ever. Of course it was a little tiresome (for those not used to walking), but the factory itself made up for our tiredness. The thing that took my eye (I can ' t speak for the others) was the laboratory where the sugar is tested. I ' d love to spend days there. We ate our lunch on the levee, enjoying a delightful river breeze at the same time that we enjoyed our lunch. Our dessert came later when we visited the packing rooms and tasted of the various sugar products. Then we took the car and left behind us a day of good times and instruction. Rena Wilson. LATIN CLUB The Club gave a Latin Card Party on the evening of April 17th and a large number were present. Light refreshments were served. A dorine and two cross-word puzzle books were the prizes awarded to the three winners. Latin may be considered a dead language, but a Latin card game is anything but dead. Dorothy P. Russ, , Secretary. NEXT YEAR ' S CHRONICLE According to the new plan of Chronicle management which ' is to be tried out next term, control of the school paper will be shared by the February and June classes of 1926. Instead of complete reor- ganization of the staf¥ in January, as has for some years past been the custom, there will be changes in only a few of the offices due to February graduation. These va- cancies will be filled as they occur. It is hoped in this way to carry on the work of the paper more smoothly and with less hardship to the newcomers than has hitherto been the case. Contracts for advertising will be secured for the entire school year, instead of for three or four issues. This should result in at least as great a volume of business as we have previously had, with half the effort that has been necessary. The Chronicle staff for 1925- 1926 was selected during April, 1925, at a real election, with a full ticket in the field, typed ballots de- posited in the official Chronicle Box, and tallied by election commis- sioners. The privileges of voting was restricted to the present Senior A, Junior A and B, and Sophomore A classes. In several cases the vote was very close. The following is the list of those elected: Editor in chief, Ruth Brandao. Business manager, Edna Gamble. Advertising manager, Dorothy Russ. Assistant advertising manager, Selma Heitzner. Circulation manager, Hester Kathman. Assistant circulation manager, Mary Cossgrove. Literary editor, Dorothy Pillow. News editor, Adele Foster. Exchange editor, Qorothy Brian. Joke editor, Dorothy Sanford. Athletic editor, Freda Heffron. Catty Club editor, Elinor Ives. Staff artist, Doris Donovan. Assistant staff artist, Ouida Seller. . The Business Manager will be in charge of the business end of the work, and the Advertising Man- agers and the Circulation Managers will all work in conjunction with her. It will be noticed that three new offices have been created, as •the need for them has become ap- parent; these are the Circulation Manager and assistant, and as as- sistant to the Staff Artist. It is to be hoped that the entire school will give to this new staff the same hearty and enthusiastic cooperation that has been bestowed upon the present one, to the end that we shall see next term an even ' ' Bigger and Better Chronicle. In the parish of St. James, 40 odd miles from New Orleans, is a historic and picturesque industry, infinitesimal in comparison with many of the other bountiful agri- cultural crops of the state, but so peculiarly Louisianian as to deserve a separate mention. This is the Pe- rique tobacco industry. There is no other place in the world where this peculiar tobacco is grown and a a consequence it is shipped not only to the Amer- ican markets but to tobacconists in all parts of the globe. The oldest umbrella in the world which is in the same condition as when it was purchased in Dorset, England, is in the possession of a resident of Hobart, Tasmania. It was brought there in 1770 by Wil- liam Levett and has been a cherished possession of his descen- dants. ATMf It ' s all over now. But now matter how much is over and done with there is always something that is just started. Spring has gone down the road and Summer has stepped up with her wares arrayed in their most glori- ous colors. Many youths step for- ward and pick out blushing June brides, over in one corner is a fine array of voile dresses, straw cad- dies, pictures of Niagara Falls and Pikes Peak, and scattered among them are pile on piles of time-tables. But it is not at this counter that the crowd is gathering. There ' s a sale on at the other end and not a one of us want to miss a good bar- gain. Summer is offering tennis rackets, balls, courts, bathing suits, swimming pools, canoes, rowboats, ukelales, moonlight nights, balmy breezes, mossy paths, and hundreds of other knick knacks at the lowest possible costs and with absolute guarantee that you will have a good time ! And you don ' t need any time- tables either to use them. Just walk around Audubon or City Parks the day after school closes and if you are still living and past the golf links, and you resisted the whirring of the tennis balls, and the quiet plash of the canoes didn ' t affect you, you ' re bound to succumb when the little freckled faced kid yells to you : ' ' Come on in, the water ' s fine ! And if you dont . . . well, there ' s no hope for you, you ' re just one of those poor unfortunate un- human humans ! Some of you will go to camp, some will travel, and some will just stick around the old home and watch how high the thermometer can get and how low the ice runs, but each and every one of you are thinking that you ' re going to have the best time you ' ve ever had be- fore and here ' s hoping that you do ! The baseball games are over and everybody had a lot of fun at them, too. Although the Indian Clubs won all the interclass games, the Dumbbells won the Varsity. Dumbbells — Indian Clubs — Golmer, G, Blumenthal, R. Dalton, L. Mitchel, D. Wing, M. Dolan, M. Ruffin, Z. Frederico, A. Hall, A. L. Schluter, K. Kathman, H. Camille, M. Dancy, F. Micas, T. Donlon, F. Heffron, F. Zar, A. Thomas, K. Pitman DeRussy Randal, H. During the month the Wright Varsity played the Commercial Varsity in the most exciting game of the season. Mrs. Lusher allowed the game to take place in the as- sembly period and therefore every- one turned out en masse to cheer for their team. No more was it Indian Club against Dumbbell or vice versa, but it was the Right girls standing up for the Right team. The Commercials put up a good fight but we won.

FIELD DAY Thursday, May 14— THIS IS FIELD DAY ! Although all the races are run, and all the hurdles are over, and all the weiners are gone, and the last drop of icy pop has run down the last red lane, there still is a glory reflected in the sunset of this day. Red and blue was the color scheme. Our school was the setting and We were the actors. Indian Club and Dumbell were the hero and heroine. All the stage now, is a quantity of paper, a few bedrag- gled ice cream cones, some pop bot- tles that burst in their glory, and one poor little forsaken weiner barking like mad for a roll. Every one has gone home tired but happy, I ' ll take the hint and do likewise. Broad ' Jump 61 -inch 1. Montgomery 2. Menny 3. O ' Toole Running Broad Jump 1. O ' Rourke 2.

Todd In salt production Louisiana has always ranked high. During the early days of the settlement the ' ' salt works or salt Hcks in vari- ous parts of the state were known to the Indians, but it was not until the time of the Civil War that the great rock salt deposits of the south- western part of the state were dis- covered. .CATTY CLUB Why is Pat. M. sorry summer is coming ? The thing that kept India back- wards so long was the ' ' Cask sys- tem. (Why didn ' t they try prohibi- tion?) The Freshmen certainly must think that the Egyptians were dumb for they habitually speak of the Egyptian dummies. I wonder why Sylvia B., Annie C, and Hilda D. insist upon play- ing tennis at 6 a. m. Well! At last Issy M. has promised to learn to ' ' shake a leg. Somebody made the remark in Room 102 that snow grew and E. R. wanted to know if it really does. Why doesn ' t Frences P. join the Debating Society? She does argue so well. Why all the sudden sophistica- tion, Isabel W. ? Fire engine houses are useful in more than one way, eh, B. Kahn? Some bright chemist says that ivory soap is made from cream of tartar. Why does I. LaFonta always wear her Oberon pin? Will someone please tell us just who the locust-eaters are? Ruth M. has aroused our curiosity. The coat of arms of Spain has been recently changed, according to a chemistry student. It now has a bar of soap on it. M. Stair says that the reason Poe was expelled from West Point was because he broke 300 of the 500 windows the first two weeks he was there. D. E. says she ' s forgotten every- thing — even how many sides a cir- cle has. The American History class is still waiting to hear about Tralfal- ga Square from Catherine S. What generous person was that that sent Aicla H. all those Ameri- can beauties when she was sick? Some irls are so fond of chem istry that they even talk about it in their sleep, don ' t they, Carmelita G.? Can any of the Sherlock Holmes of this school olTer any clues to the disappearance of Oliver W. ' s ring. M. Campbc ' .il tliinks that granM- lated sugar is due to ' ' microor- ganisms. Bertha C. suys there are a lot of back germs in Mississippi Rivt?f water. Whose frat pin is Alba R. wear- ing? Gertrude S. writes up a big news story all about a dead revolver. Who, we should like to know, is responsible for Shirley Mae W. ' s curly hair? Why do Lelia C. and Alma E. go together, eat alike, and even look alike ? What is the connection between J. R. and a Greek? This is a new one on us. China ' s backwardness is due to the fact that China had all the mountain pas- sages locked and refused to procure the keys to open them. Ask Eloise P. why she always sings Somebody loves me, I won- der who. li you want any information on gardening just ask M. Carey. She seems to know how to get every variety to bloom in spring. A recent Freshmen essay on Hawthorne says Hawthorne mar- ried a woman he did not know. (Is he any different from any other man, Freshie? Why was Charlotte B. so anxious to have her ishoe tried on her left foot? Won ' t someone be kind enough to tell Violet L. how far apart two milestones are? Ask Prop, why she got tired of her P.K. (Not gum). Tree City Breeze — Greensburg, Ind. — The jokes and athletic news are good, but there is no exchange column. • Coyote Journal — Phoenix, Ari- zona. — The editorials are very good, and The Guillotine is as fine as ever. The Maroon — New Orleans, La. —The sports are well brought out, and the news articles are inter- esting. McDonogh Chatter — New Or- l( ans. La. — Your jokes are clever, and your stories interesting. The Forum — Houston, Texas— You have more ads. than any other magazine your size. Congratula- tions on being able to secure them. Tower News — Cincinnati, Ohio ' — The article on the origin of St. Valentine ' s Day was your best work in that issue. M. T. S. News— New York, N. Y. — Your style of printing is odd, but attractive. Local News is your best section. AS OTHERS SEE US The Chronicle — New Orleans, La. — There are some clever poems in this paper. — The Walking Leaf, Montour Falls, N. Y. Chronicle — Your abundance of jokes and personals is especially good. — The Forum, Houston, Tex. The Walking Leaf — Montour Falls, New York. — The Cook Aca- demy seems to have a fine music studio judging from the picture in your magazine. The Red and Black — Tampa, Florida. — You certainly have a large number of exchanges, which are a great credit to your paper. The Chronicle, Wright High chool. New Orleans, La. — This little magazine is the most interest- ing of our exchanges. Your joke column is the longest we have ever seen in any school paper, but as it occupies fully one-third of your reading matter it is entirely out of proportion with what ought to be the main purpose of a school maga- zine, namely, to encourage literary compositions. — The Sigma, Peoria, 111. JOKCS SWEET SYMPATHY Boy Scout (to an old lady) : May I accompany you across the street, Madam? Lady: Certainly, Son ny. How long have you been waiting for somebody to take you across? BRILLIANT CLASS MATE OF OURS Miss P: There is a scientific be- lief that a country formerly known as Atlantis is at the bottom of the sea between Africa and South America. Pupil: Yes, Miss P., but did they dive down to find the country? This apartment is impossible, complained Blue Beard, there isn ' t a single place to hang a wife. Ed: I guess you ' ve been out with worse looking fellows than I am; haven ' t you? (No answer.) Ed: I say, I guess you ' ve been out with worse looking fellows than I? Co-ed: I heard you the first time. I was just trying to think. WISE CRACK Dumb (reading papers) : It says here that the human body contains some sulphur. Bell: I see. That explains why some girls make better matches than others. NOM DE PLUME What ' s that number across the front of your shirt? asked the lady visitor of the convict. Oh that ' s my pen name, he ex- plained. ' — Kansas City Owl. Guide (pointing to statue in Madi- son Square) : You see before you two figures of artistic value. Tourist: I see only one. Guide: Yes, there is Diana and her beau. CROSSED She (coyly) : George, you have such affectionate eyes. He (thrilled) : Dearest, do you really mean it? She (bored) : Yes, they ' re always looking at each other. RECOLLECT Prosecuting Attorney (to opponent) : You ' re the biggest boob in the city. Judge (rapping for order) : Gentle- men, you forget I am here. Enamel, Paints, Glass, Brushes, I adders, CANAL RAMPART STS. Buy From Hardware, Taols, Roofing Fishing- Tackle, Poles SAXTON HARDWARE CO., Inc. Main 2800 A Tragic Riddle, Her eyes were wild, her hair in disorder, her hands were clenched. She was a deeply injured, desperate woman. Oh, cruel one, she cried in an- guished tones, I have borne with you too long! You have injured the very foundation of my being! Day by day you have tortured me, and yet I could not bear to give you up. When we first met, your ease and polish attracted me! When you be- came my own, how many friends envied me! Yet your understanding is too small for my large soul. You are opposed to my advancing myself. You have ruined my standing in so- ciety. If we had never met I might have walked in peace. So, begone, We part forever. There was a moment ' s convulsive breathing, a gritting of teeth, and it was all over. By a supreme effort she removed her shoes. — Farm Journal. Judge — You are charged with shoot- ing squirrels out of season. Prisoner — Your Honor, I shot them, in self-defense. I ' ve had my picture taken. Got the proofs? No, dear, you ' ll have to take my word for it. Student — Give me twenty-five dol- lars worth of scratch paper. Shop-keeper — Good, gosh, why do you want so much scratch paper? Student — I got the seven year itch. — Sour Owl. In the Old Days (Daze). Mrs. Aesop (to her husband) — Where were you until this hour? Now none of your fables. UNFAIR ADVANTAGE In conversation with Muriel, Myrtle confidentially announced that the en- gagement of their mutual friend, Alice, to the young minister, was off. She told me he was awully nice in many ways, went on Myrtle, but was horribly jealous and took undue advan- tage of his position. How was that? Well, every time she had an en- gagement to motor with some other man, he would pray for rain. Usually — a ring on the right hand is worth two on the phone. — The Simpsonian, Doctor — Have you taken every pre- caution to prevent the spread and contagion in your family? Rastus — Absolutely, doctah, we done bought a sanitary cup and we all drunk from it. — The Baptist. How Time Flies. He — Do you realize the war started ten years ago today? She— What war? Hubby (leaving) — I am going out to prune the apple trees. She — But, Frank, you know I don ' t care for prunes. Yes, she didn ' t like his type. And so Mabel turned the printer down? — Yellow Arab. He who laughs last is usually the dumbest. — Yellow Jacket. Just because a man keeps lumber- ing along, it does not necessarily mean that he has a wooden leg. — Lampoon. By All Means. A Scotchman was sitting by the bedside of his dying wife, and on the table at the head of the bed stood a lighted candle. He sat in silence for isome time until at length the doorbell rang. Jennie, he said. I ' ve got to go and answer the door. Do you hear me? The poor wife nodded feebly. I ' ll be gone but a few minutes, he said rising, but in the meantime if you feel yourself slipping, blow out the candle. — Exchange, Boy — And do they have radios on ships, Daddy? Daddy — Yes, of course. Boy (pointing to ventilation fun- nels) — But why do they need so many loud speakers? — Exchange. Cross-Words. Instructor — What ' s the capital of Australia? Studnet (absent-mindedly) — In how many letters? A deaf woman sat in a seat well to the front of the church and adjust- ed her ear trumpet in order to listen to the sermon. The sexton tiptoed up and leaning over her whispered, One toot and out you go. Why don ' t you play your banjo or mandolin? There is no choice. What do you mean, there is no choice? I haven ' t any pick. — Punch Bowl. I dreamed last night that five cockroaches climbed on top of my dictionary and staged a play. What kind of a show was it? Oh, just a play on words. — Octopus. RELATIVELY CORRECT Gwendolyn — What is the rate of ex- change, anyway? Maryn — Well, dear, of course it dif- fers according to circumstances, but I should say the average is about one new husband a year. Office Phone Main 936 Service- Quality Chas. L.

He — No, just down to see a friend off. — Sun Dial. Silently, fixedly he gazed down into her lilac eyes. She was a beautiful thing, pliable, amendable to his every suggestion. She made no move — but waited expectantly, like a frightened faun. Sh9 was a fool he considered. He must force the issue. I love you! he shrieked. Say it! Re- peat it! I love you she said per- ceptibly. He advanced, menacing, terrible. She felt faint. Still she uttered no sound. He was white with fury. He was an awful egg — her French Prof. — and she didn ' t know the verb. — Ski-U-Mah. O. K. She held my hand within her own And pressed it here and there. Her brow was white as marble stone, And, oh! Hsr face was fair. And sweeter far than other loves, I saw her bright smile flash She seized her book, One pair of gloves. Will this be charge or cash? — Texas Ranger. Dumb — I call my girl Spearmint. Moreso — Why, because she ' s Wrig- ley? Dumb — No, because she ' s always after meals. The Test. He — I went to see a memory expert last night. She Was he good? He — Naw; he forgot to show up. It was said of a recent prep-school graduate, that one night he left a note on his door for his room-mate who had gone to the movies. This was the legend: If I ' m studying when you get back, wake me up. — Record. Qheap skates never cut much ice. — Judge.
