This morning we went to Aud. and re- ceived the welcome news--' 'a Senior meet- ing is to be held this afternoon in Room 212, for the purpose of completing the Senior organization. The class showed its enthusiasm with a good representation at the meeting. Af- ter some discussion and considerable bal- oting, we closed a peppy meeting ready to announce the following people as our lead- ers for the rest of the term: President -lCyri1 McBryde Vice - President---Eleanor Stephens Secretary iilliatheren Emerson Treasurer 1---Oscar Schliebe Esther Aschemeyer Alfred Kratz I Dorothy Wilson Executive Committee-' Edna Shores lAlbert Rubinstein These officers with the aid of Miss Alma Brown who worked with us last term, stand ready to serve the class. March 14, 1922. We had quite a surprise this morning. When we reached school, we learned that we were invited to attend the officers' spread, which was given in the little dining room this afternoon. We waited for the happy hour with keen anticipation throughout the day, little realizing at the time that after fun comes work. When the hour rolled around we were ' 'Johnnies on the spot' ', and after beholding the table our hearts began to sing, Now wasn't that a dainty dish to set before the king?' ' As soon as the dainty dish disap- peared, we set about clearing the table and were ready for work. The first thing we did was to imagine ourselves a Con- gressional Rules Committee framing a calendar of the terms' activities in the or- der in which they are to take place. Then committees had to be appointed to take charge of the affairs. But these were not the only committees to be created, for 'Life' Correspondents Page Thing'-Eighz M-.H-A-4 f-f. -.-.f-M--W--.---f...-......,..., .-....- ...f.... .....f.. -W. .,,., -ff-v--f-----f'- - -ff'- M ff-f----v f f--a.,.,.,J DIARY there were others, such as a Photograph Committee, Pin and Ring, and 1'Life Committees. In all there were some six- teen or eighteen. We were progressing very nicely in our work when the clock struck six and we agreed to adjourn for today. Tomorrow we will continue our work. March 31, 1922. Well, Diary, we've got a big day to write about tonight and now that it's all over we're sorry it isn't still coming. However, the memory of it will linger with us for many days. We celebrated our Color Day today, by displaying our chosen colors, green and white, before the school and by our first party. Early this morning, most of the Seniors could be found in the first floor corri- dor adorning themselves with green and white ribbons and awaiting the arrival of the happy moment when they would start on their journey down the center aisle of the Auditorium. The time was rapidly approaching eight-thirty, but we couldn't begin our exercises as one of our members had not yet arrived with our mascot. In the meantime we took a peep into the Auditorium, which bore the fruit of many hours of hard labor, by our advisor, some of the other members of the faculty and members of the class. Spring reigned in the room, with dogwood trees and ferns arranged across the front, and wicker bas- kets of flowers hung under the windows on both sides. Outdoors the snow was fall- ing rapidly. What a sigh of relief we gave when we beheld our missing member enter the build- ing with the mascot! In a short time they were with us and all was well. Then the orchestra silenced the buzzes in the Audi- torium with a lively march and our mascot led the procession down the center aisle. The moment was an intense one for us for all eyes were upon us. We looked neither to the right nor to the left. The stage f .,,,,,,,,, Q ,.,, ,,i, . . .,.,.W, 4 ,' ' Q f ,f f fx ' f . X A X' f X seemed far off in the distance and we thought we would never reach it But we did get there and safely at that, giving thanks as we did so. The school was silent as Mr. Butler briefly sketched the history of the class and explained the meaning of Color Day. Then our President, Cyril McBryde, arose to explain the significance of our colors and our motto, Every tomorrow a vision of hope. Of our colors he said, White stands for purity and sincerityg green for freshness, youthfulness and growth. Now, what colors could be mo e appro- priate for a Spring class? Alt was with a vision of hope,'y continued Cyril, 'fthat Columbus sailed on before he discovered America. Edison was hopeful before suc- cessfully completing his invention of the phonograph So we are to be hopefulfl It was an excellent speech and we felt proud of our President as we marched out after singing the loyal song. The remainder of the day seemed end- less. But that is the way Time always treats us when we are waiting for some oc- casion, such as we were waiting for today. At last three-thirty arrived and by three- forty-five the class was assembled in the big Gym. to pass away an hour and a quar- ter in fun. We danced two or three num- bers and we were invited to stop. and go to the lunch room, where a surprise was a- waiting us. We hastened there and be- held a pleasing sight ln the center of a circle of tables, stood a dogwood tree and upon each table was placed a vase of dog- wood flowers. The spirit of Spring cer- tainly followed us around today. Then came a scurrying around to find places. After knocking over a few chairs, we lo- cated our seats and sat down to enjoy a generous portion of green and white ice- cream, cakes and candy. What a tempt- ing table to set before our poor athletes who are in training! Although our coach- es were kind enough not to appear and watch over each of them, we know that some of them acted very bravely and de- prived themselves of at least a portion of the tempting food. A half hour passed and we returned to the Gym. Music was again furnished by a lively orchestra so that it was hard for one to keep his feet still. Word soon went a- round that the party was to end at five, so you may be sure that no one that can dance lost any time in stepping out on the floor. Before we realized it, the clock struck five and those on the floor found themselves dancing to the strains of Home Sweet Home. Then the music stopped. Couples stood around waiting for more, but they soon learned that no more was to be given today. Color Day and our first party was over and we left the Gym. won- dering how soon we would again gather for a similar purpose. We ' r 'filivif V 'N f knead , ' i 'T X' f -Fi -.

It was a day in late March, be- ginning with a cold, blustery wind, turn- ing, around noon, into a veritable balmy spring day and ending with a damp, ugly, misty drizzle. Such a day would infiuence even the most calm and unperturbable per- son. So it affected me, who am not usua- ly one of the said calm and unperturbable. On the day previously described, my mother, my aunt and the laundress were in the throes of a violent orgy of spring house-cleaning. My aunt had been get- ting out and sorting old jewelry and trink- kets and deciding just what to sell to the antique jewelry dealers, but finally keep- ing everything instead. This was done yearly. The three unanimously told me, politely but firmly, that I should betake myself elsewhere, as my well meaning but awkward aid was decidedly not needed or wanted. Just then it commenced to driz- zle in an apathetic, doleful sort of way and prevented my seeking the solace of the companionship of my best pal There was no place to go on the whole lower floor. One had to mince along for fear of sitting on a cake of soap, stepping into a bucket of sudsy water or getting hopeless- ly tangled in the cord of the vacuum sweep er. I drifted upstairs feeling abused, neg- l e c t e d a n d altogether melancholy. There was only one room not cluttered with curtain rods, rolled up rugs and dust cloths and that was the one which be- longed to my grandmother. This was the largest in the house and a nice enough room on sunshiny days. On a dull, misty, gloomy day, however, it was a different matter This room was almost too full of furniture and this overcrowded condition, usually relieved by the sunlight coming from the three large windows, only seemed more oppressive because of the gloom out- side. The room was amply filled with two tall wardrobes, a huge wooden bedstead, Page Forly two very old-fashioned bureaus and the usual number of chairs. The walls were hung with perfectly enormous crayon en- largements, one each of my grandfather, my grandmother, my great aunt and my great uncle. The last one I must take the time to describe to you. It was hung over what should have been a fireplace, but it was closed up by the presence of a long radiator. The fireplace part, in fact, the whole side wall, projected about a foot out into the room, giving a particular promi- nence to the picture. The portrait itself was a full length one of my great uncle in his Civil War uniform. I have quite a clear recollection of this old gentleman, even though he died when I was only about seven. He used to come to see my grand- mother every Saturday and spend the day with us. The greater part of the after- noon he spent puttering around the yard, clipping the mulberry trees, nailing any loose boards on the fences, and, in fact, doing a thousand perfectly useless things, but enjoying himself, nevertheless. He was a very silent man, and never said a word about his experiences in the war. As I sat down and looked at his picture, half veiled in a smoky gloom, the half ri- diculous side of it came to me. My great uncle had been a very small man, scarcely five feet three nches in height and the or- nate captain's dress uniform looked just a little out of place on him. His face, too, had an indescribably Irish look, consider- ing the fact that he was certainly not Irish When he was younger, my grandmother said, he looked and walked very much like Napoleon. How that could be, I must leave to the imaginations of my readers. Our house had been built before the Civil War by a man who occupied a very prominent position in the affairs of St. Louis County, as at that time the city was apart of the county. This man was known as having decided sympathies with the f 5 ......-...,..z, ,.,,,,V..,h,,,, ,,,,. , ., ,,., .,. ...., . ,,-. ,,.,. ,. .,..,,, ,, - ,,,,,,,..,. T.. ..,, I WJ ........

My great uncle, who was stationed for a while at Fort Benton, the present site of Fair Grounds Park, re- ceived orders a number of times to search the house for Confedertae soldiers or spies. When my grandparents moved in and won- dered at his surprising familiarity about the house, he told them that he had been through the place several times in search of a young man who was wanted by the Union Army Headquarters as a very dan- gerous spy. That is all we knew about his adventures in the army. I sat there staring at the portrait, the room getting darker and mistier. The spick and span blue of my great uncle's uni- form got darker and grayer and grayer, until it was almost black. In fact, the whole room seemed to be turning into a grayish black haze and for a while I seemed in a stupor. Then the haze seemed to lift and the furniture was outlined in a pearl gray light, like that of dawn just before the sun goes up over the horizon. I looked up and saw that the uniform in the picture had turned to a slate gray. All the gold braid trimming had disappeared and the whole figure seemed to be more slender and taller. My eyes traveled up to the head and there penetrated my mind the very startling fact that from under a slouched gray hat a new face looked out at me. Considering the strangeness of it all, I was not very much surprised, but merely sat there staring as though unable to move. A slight tremor shook the picture and then the figure stepped out of the frame, onto the radiator, and lightly down to the Hoor. It was the form of a Confederate soldier, a very young and slender man. He swept off his slouch hat and made a low bow, his sword touching the fioor with a very faint tinkle. I will never forget his voice as he said, How do you do, Miss? May I have the pleasure of a momentls conversation with you? My name is Sergeant Nelson. I answered rather faintly, f'Certainly. Where did you come from? I am not permitted to say, he an- swered almost sharply, but resumed his af- fable manner at once. Curiosity is in- deed a female trait still. Your esteemed great uncle had a considerable part in my death. For the first time I became surprised. My face must have showed it, as my Sir Confederate became very anxious. I pray don't be startled, he said. Are you subject to the vapors? My heaven! No! I answered. Your uncle merely did his duty as a soldier. He found me in this room and took me then to a court martial and I was hanged as a spy. This is my first return here. He said all this in such a matter of fact, amiable tone that it seemed rather foolish to be horriied. The soldier, seeming to think he had explained his presence suf- ficiently, sat down in front of me and ex- amined me from head to foot in rather a pitying manner. I see, he said gently, that there has been another terrible typhoid epidemic. They used to be dreaded in the camps. t'No, I answered. There has been no typhoid here for some timefl 'Well, well. Perhaps there has been small-pox. Still, your face is not pockedf' Murder! I explained. f'Do I look ready for the grave? What makes you think there has been an epidemic? Well, he said, fyour hair is cropped. ' I explained to him that bobbed tresses were distinctly the mode. Then it was his turn to be surprised. His boyish mouth widened into the semblance of a capital O and he seemed unable to find words to ex- press his amazement. After a moment he grew calmed and looked at me closely from head to foot. Then he said, I beg your pardon, Miss, but is it also the fashion to be so--ah--so wide, and to have the gar- ments cut so very skimpily?' I felt a little huffed at this because, though I may not exactly be called a sylph, I am not considered unusually wide Certainly, Sergeant Nelson, I replied tartly, wishing to shock him a little.

And I might also add, my dear Miss, he shot back at me, that Well bred young ladies do not talk about such things and if the distasteful subject must be mentioned, they say 'limb' instead. Oh, fiddlesticksln I retorted. 'Such nonsense disappeared long before women got to vote. Please do not be so vexed he said courteously, his momentary anger gone, 'I did not come here to quarrel with you. Indeed, -I didn't think anyone wou'd be here, as you are, in the day time. I must accomplish my purpose. ' Is your purpose a secret? Oh, no, he answered I may as well tell you the story. You see, before my death I was about to marry a very charm- ing Georgia girl. It was the custom then for the soldiers to carry some trinket or piece of jewelry which belonged to their sweethearts. Elizabeth gave me a pair of coral ear-rings to carry as a luck charm. I kept them both until the very end, when I was captured by your uncle. In the struggle one fell into the Hreplace and I have come back forit, merely to see if it is was still there and--and well--perhaps be- cause I used to be very sentimental about such affairs. See, here is one of them. He Page F orgy- Two 42 f Z we f f QW f 1 f f M ff 2 .'.., :.'.::.:,. ,::' ,.5':,.:s,.:::,g:::.::.::',.:',.1Lj1f,: ..,, ,c,....,, drew a leather case from his breast pocket and took out the ear-ring. It was very small and dainty, just large enough to cover the lobe of a small ear. It was of gold with a piece of rose coral fas- tened to the top of it in a peculiar fashion, as though held there by two tiny bands. When I had expressed my admiration, Sergeant Nelson hastily took back the trin- ket and turned about. I heard him utter a cry of dismay and he looked anxiously at the concealed fireplace and then at me. Why, what has happened? he ex- claimed. It is replaced by an iron grat- ing and-oh! You are waking up and I won't be able to get it It will stay there now forever. Just then a sort of golden light filled the room. My eyes became dim and I heard a faint Good-bye as I saw the Confeder- ate turning to misty haze. For a moment everything remained in perfect darkness. Then I felt a heavy jar and I became broad awake, half of me on the floor, the other half on the chair. I rubbed my eyes sleepily and wondered if the lemon pie we had had for dinner had affected me so seriously. The room was filled by a momentary ray of sunshine and I cast down my eyes to avoid the glare. I saw something which startled me exceed- ingly. Of course, it was only a coincidence but at my feet lay a tiny coral ear-ring. 2 5 1 l -4 f I f ,V !1, , .I 1 123 ' ' 16' ' 1 ,Z 42 CAL, f f X 4 f Z THE DIARY OF A POTATO By GENEVIEVE VVIPPO APRIL 10.-A Red Letter day. I have emerged from the dark obscurity of the pantry. My resting place now is the ground. After we had all been given place in the earth, we were left undisturbed. My colleagues and I consider ourselves so much above the common every-day pota- to, since we live in the back yard of a pro- fessor's home, that we have formed a po- tatoes' union. Naturally, our scope of ed- ucation is widened tenfold. Only those who are enough sophisticated and live in our acre can become members. I am re- garded as a leading member, because my ancestors were among the largest in the town. APRIL 25.-The ants, board of religious organizations in our lot called a mass meet- ing to discuss the moral and educational deficiencies of the modern ant. A motion was passed to limit the skirts of the flapper ants to a certain length. This motion caused dissatisfaction among the afflicted group. APRIL 26.f One of our bolder members decided to sprout once and start out in life for himself. Unfortunately, as he sprouted he struck an ant-hole. He was nearly tickled to death with all the ants running over him. As a result of his boldness, I fear that he will never mature and grow up into a large, healthy potato, because he has his roots in a foundation of sand. You well know the Bible verse, the house built upon a foundation of sand shall perish. APRIL 28.-We have sprouted. Before breaking ground we held a religious meeting in which we prayed for success in the future, a dense foliage growth, and for complete freedom from potato bugs, who inhabit our leaves whether we wish to rent them or not. The parson assured us that all our pleas would be granted. Person- ally, I have my doubts. You know, I felt so proud and happy in sending up that little sprout, that I ac- tually winked at the sun. He merely rolled his eyes in answer. MAY 5.f-My neighbor eight inches away and I are engaged in a deadly feud. It started like this. Just yesterday, both our advance agents, the roots, stretched out in search of food. They collided with each other during the search. An insult- ing remark as to my size caused me to re- ciprocate with one just as biting, hence the feud. INTAY 10.-Well, dear me, the professor was investigating the progress of our growth. He is a wonderful farmer! An innocent neighbor of mine who had ac- quired a denser growth of leaves cruelly deceived the poor man. He thought she was full grown and jerked her out. She was no larger than a small radish. We held a funeral to pay our last sad homage to her, and we gave full vent to our grief, plus anger with the ignorant agriculturist. MAY 15.--Mother used to say that the life of a potato is grand and glorious if you don't weaken. That is my chief trouble-- the weakening clause. To see others of my friends in the same acre of ground having bushy green dresses, and not troubled with those bitter enemies, the dress ruiners, alias the potato bug, is very discouraging. Now, although my dress is green, after a fashion I have been honored with the company of so many of these pests that my once beautiful apparel resembles a sieve Though I am not bothered with a clean- er's bill, thanks to Mr. Rain, it is quite dif- ficult for me to attain the to height of cleanliness that my neighbors do, for the rain simply falls thru the worm-eaten holes and misses me altogether. MAY 20.-My health has not been of the best for the past week, but it is now im- proving. I have adopted exercise as a health-restorer. I have joined the Calis- thenics Club. Every day from nine to ten we take a drill provided the wind is blow- Page Furry- Thrre -,-v .--. . -,-,1 ,,v-, W , ,,, ,. , S fa L75 ff' f 7 7' f 'ff 1 ' ' 9 7' ff f if fi ..f fl f 'V-Vv- ,... ff:71f:g:1i?fiTiii::1::L::L:f::1L:fi?fif i W ing. My! how we do shake and twist and turn ourselves! The modern dancer would fade into obscurity matched against us. MAY 22.-Oliver Wendell Holmes is a wonderful man. He once compared us to a man boasting of his famous ancestry. He said that the best, in such a case, is under- ground. To celebrate his memory we held a meeting of the potatoes' union. One of the speakers, Mr. Red-river, said we re- sembled Marshal Foch. This worthy gen- eral directed all the allied armies from his headquarters. In a like manner we direct our entire foliage growth from under- ground. MAY 27.-Speaking of blessings in dis- guise, we certainly had them today. The prof held a unique party today-a pota- to bug party. The guests were the chil- dren of the neighborhood. Each child tried to pick off more bugs than the rest. The one that was assigned to me kept busy all afternoon and consequently won the first prize-a perfect potato leaf. I must say that the recipient didn't seem very en- thusiastic and muttered something about the stingy old guy. MAY 29.-The prof has decided that the party wasn't a complete success. He still finds bugs on us. Now he is sitting on the porch with his feet propped upon the railing and is deep in a book on how to ex- terminate garden pests. Some of the dope sounds terrible. N o matter what it is, the prof will follow the directions to the let- ter, for, as he tells his patient wife, You must farm scientifically. AUGUST 1.-Well, my dear diary, I cer- tainly have neglected you, but I've been so busy growing. Besides, the only im- portant occurence of the summer hap- pened on the 4th of July. Then some en- terprising young Edison was experiment- ing in our lot with some mixed explosives in a can. He set it off and ran. We got the results. There were twelve killed, in- cluding the president of our union. Four- teen were seriously injured and twenty, Page Fnrly-Four badly shaken. We have drawn up resolu- tions upholding the idea of a safe and sane Fourth of July. Our children must never suffer such a tragedy. SEPTEMBER 15.-Distinction! Who said that a potato is incapable of distinction? I have been selected as one of the best po- tatoes to be saved for seed next year. Blood will tell! Tomorrow we are to be placed in the bin in the cellar, there to stay all the long winter. Of course, we shall miss the out of doors and our associations will not be of the highest, perhaps, for we will be obliged to content ourselves with cellar beings. SEPTEMBER 25.-We have tried to or- ganize a cellar club. Mrs. Pickled Beet was very sour in her manner when we ask- ed her to join us. She simply gave a gur- gle in her jar. Perhaps the cook put in too much vinegar. JANUARY 24.-It's been a long winter. We did liven up a bit at a party the other day. We were honored by the presence of Mr. Sweet Potato. Spending the win- ter in a sand box has made him so gritty that he asked Miss Peach, the belle of the ball, for several dances. The Bartletts came in pairs, so there was no unevenness of couples. When Mr. Blackberry ap- peared he was given a Raspberry. We did not invite the empty jars. We have grown used to stupidity but not to complete emp- tiness. Mr. Home Brew we considered too dangerous a guest because of his volatile nature. Nor could we think of asking Miss Jam for fear of having a crowd. At one time in a conversation the pickles be- came so sharp that they made the pota- toes' eyes water, but on the whole a good time was had by all. FEBRUARY 28.-This is the last of our winter. Tomorrow we begin our dormant period, which we'll extend through March. I wonder if I'll sprout at the end of that time. A woman could hardly ask for long- er time to make up her mind. Well, here's for a good nap. Perhaps I'll have a dream that will decide the matter. T3 X ff 1 x 5 SZ fi r T i 4 ' ' .. ,..,. .,..,... . ,.,. . L'u::..n... W4 ,,,,. . .. V. f ,l .. W 4 U Xl l3Rllll,l,AS AT ONE ANGLE DOROTHY JEFFREY MBRELLAS: They have always been queer things, haven't they? L? But long ago they were queerer than they are now. Then people carried a family umbrella, and father, mother and the chil- dren trooped along under it. These um- brellas went single file down the street, for there wasn't room for two of those things. In fact, we can't see how the other umbrel- las got wet when one was out. There sim- ply couldn't be enough rain to wet two of them! And they weren't objects of art. They were great, round shapes usually of black and always of cotton. Any conven- ient broom stick apparently made an ideal handle for one of them. Imagine one of those immense umbrellas turning inside out? Father held the umbrella and mother clung to his arm with one hand, while, with the other she saved her skirts from the mud. Behind, trouped four or five chil- dren all safe, interested in the welfare of the giant rain-stick. A fresh gust of wind whirled around the corner. Father wildly clutched the umbrella, but it was doomed. When one saw the wreck, one wondered why they hadn't used it for a tent. To me, a person in trouble with an um- brella is the most pathetic creature in the world. Any one who has experienced it knows what a woe-begone, dismal feeling it gives. For instance, take our daily rainy day program. It rains hard. We go to the umbrella stand, but our family has beaten us there. We pick up the sad re- maining specimen. Still, we think, At least it is silk. We go out. The umbrella looks all right when it is shut, but, when after a struggle it reluctantly opens, we are shocked. Ribs go every way but the right way and the silk slips up them. But patiently we fix it. We know how, because we've done it before. Then we start out with it held low over our head, hoping that the man next door won't recognize it. We hold it forward and a stream runs down our back, we hold it far back and the wind threatens to be its next borrower. We cross the street. In the middle, our um- brella gives up the struggle and collapses. We eye it sadly-W we couldn't be much wet- ter than we are. A friend hails us and we leave the umbrella lying forlornly in the gutter, all its heroic struggles and brave deeds forgotten. When we return, it is still there. No one wants it. We deter- mine to buy a new umbrella. The new ones have ivory handles and flowers paint- ed on them. We buy one, wondering if the flowers will help keep out the rain, It rains and we wonder no longer. We wring out our best hat Next time it rains, we rise early, and lovingly clutch our grand- father's black cotton umbrella. Far be it from me to scorn those staunch and tried friends. They come to our aid in many ways. For instance, we are broke and the brute to whom we owe a dollar ap- proaches. Who is a better friend than the umbrella which we lower over our faces? And who is a better friend to the hobbed- hair lass than the umbrella which shields her permanent curl? And we, whose um- brella turns inside out just as a handsome person at whom we have ineffectually cast glances for months, approaches under an umbrella, aren't we sure at that moment that umbrellas are lovely? Oh, truly I say, though at times we may scorn them haughtily, yet when the sky weeps, we forget our aversion and sally forth under our friend of the ivory handle and the shaky ribs. Pfzgr l m'rv I :'.'s Z M Z Z Z2 ? ,v,,:, ..f.,. W Z ,,.. ,,,, I ,4A U M B R E L L A S AT ANOTHER ANGLE ADLAI TOENNIES g ' Q N UMBRELLA is just an ordinary QAN . . M3526 thing. People have never written books about it, but there are some very important things concerning it that every one ought to know. Why is it car- ried? If it is a gayly colored parasol car- ried by some similarly clad young lady, one realizes at once that it will do her as much good as a pair of ear-rings, for she would not think of getting it wet for any- thing in the world. A young man of about eighteen years of age, walking down the street on a fairly cloudy day and carrying a neatly rolled umbrella, is not thinking of catching cold from getting wet. He is thinking, rather, of that fine crease in his trousers or of that stiff collar he is wearing. If, on the other hand, an umbrella is car- ried by an elderly man or woman, one can judge in a minute that they are carrying it to be prepared. If a small boy is dragging it along on the sidewalk, one can be sure that, down in his heart, he is ashamed to carry it. Still, umbrellas were made to be used, so let every one carry his according to the way he likes. Now, let us turn to the history of the umbrella. In Eastern countries from the earliest times, the umbrella was the insig- nia of royalty and power. Kings and some times lesser noble men going in processions would be shaded by an umbrella of a crude and clumsy nature carried by a servant. The Mahretta princes of India had among their titles, lord of the umbrella, and the King of Burmah, in 1855, when addressing the Governor-General of India, referred to himself as the monarch who reigns over the great umbrella wearing chiefs of the Eastern countries. Imagine President Harding saying such a thing as that, to- Pzzge Forgf-Six day. The umbrella, in that part of the world, was and is still regarded as a luxury belonging to those of the upper class. The Roman and Greek ladies used as a sunshade a fancier type than that of the East, but the using of an umbrella of any shape by the men was considered a sign of effeminacy. From this, I think that the eleven-year-old boy of today gets his idea that a boy who carries an umbrella is a sissy. Along in the Eighteenth Century, the umbrella was kept in the coffee houses of England to lend to any one caught in the rain. Right here began the big mistake. It is no wonder that the managers of the coffee houses went broke and the manufac- turers of umbrellas became rich. Besides, it started a bad precedent. Today, it is no uncommon thing for a person to go out in rainy weather, meet some of his friends and recognize several familiar umbrellas. So through all the years, the umbrella has flourished and we still use it for practically the same purposes. Its construction, too, has remained the same throughout all these years, except, that at first the umbrella was made to be held open by the hand. The fellow who invented bumbershoot variety, was the man with brains, for he supplied thousands of children with thrills and thousands of repair men with jobs putting in new spring Still, the child must have some pleasure, and besides, bumbersh0ot springs don't cost a fortune. There are times when the umbrella comes in handy, but there are also times when it does not. For instance, a person enters a church late on a rainy morning. The prayer is halfway through when the person takes a seat in the last row without a bit of noise. Then the tricky, gold-han- dled umbrella falls clattering to the floor. ,.,., . f LZ, ,,.. ,,,. ,, , . Humiliation cannot describe the feelings of the person who came late. An umbrella accompanied by many small bundles in the arms of a passenger is as dangerous as a long hat pin in a street car. An umbrella, a hat, an armful of books and are enough to trip any school boy when ascending the stairs. So you see that, although an um- brella is a friend, sometimes it is a treach- erous enemy. As for the handles of umbrellas, they va- ry in shape from an ordinary knotty piece of wood to an elaborate gold or ivory horse head. They were originally solid, but since Prohibition there has been some talk that they would be made hollow and with a screw top. One good sized handle ought H1 to hold a pint. An umbrella like this would be exceedingly Wet. An lmbrella han- dle is a very important thing because if you have a good mental picture of it, you can always identify your umbrella if lost or borrowedg therefore get acquainted with your umbrella handle. Many other things could be said about the umbrella, for instance, the tilt at which it should be held, ibut then that de- pends upon the angle at which the rain is fallingl, or which hand it should be car- ried in or what it is made of, orfOh, any number of things concerning it, but as these of which I have spoken are the most important, I will leave you to consider them gravely and earnestly.

Uncle Jim, is there anything more beautiful than this sunset? I asked, turn- ing to the fine, old gentleman at my side. Well, my dear, every evening when the sun goes down, it seems as if no other sun- set has ever been so beautiful. I'm al- ways reminded of the story of my grand- mother's sunset. ' Your grandmotherfs sunset? What' do you mean? I asked. It's a pretty long story, but I never tire of telling it, if you want to listenf, So the dear, old gentleman lighted his pipe, settled himself in his rocking chair, and began: My mother told me when I was just a boy. 'Twas August, 1800 that my grand- mother made her trip. She and grand- father had come to Indiana from New York in a covered wagon with two teams of oxen. Their earthly goods consisted of some scant house furnishings, some provisions, their oxen and wagon, a horse, and a few dollars in cash. They came to Indiana and set- tled in the Ohio valley on a government grant. There they built a tiny log cabin, and worked hard to cultivate the farm and make a living. On the fertile Indiana soil it wasn't hard for an enthusiastic, steady fellow like grandfather John to get ahead. They developed a good farm and soon be- came trusted people in the country a- round. One day the mail carrier who delivered mail about once a month, brought a letter from New York to grandmother Ruth. Amid great excitement, she opened the letter and read it. It was from a lawyer telling her that an uncle of hers had died and left her a thousand dollars. The mon- ey would be given to her if she would come and sign some important papers that could not be intrusted to the uncertain mails of that day. After the excitement caused by this let- ter had subsided a little, the question arose as to how grandmother was to get to New York. The only means of traveling in those days were by the stage coach or by horse-back. There was no stage-coach line near their home. so that way was im- possible for her. The only way left was to go on the back of Dobbin, the strong, trusty horse. To a modern woman this seems impossible, but to grandma Ruth, a strong, capable,pioneer woman, it didn't seem such an overwhelming task. It was absolutely necessary to go, because in those times a thousand dollars seemed a fortune to Indiana farmers, and the folks could use it well. There was nothing to fear from the In- dians at that time. There were only friendly ones along the trail because the hostile tribes had been driven far north in a recent raid. It was not without pangs of uneasiness and self-reproach, however, that grandpa consented to let her start on this six hundred mile journey. To make it even harder for grandma, baby Sarah was only a few months old, so she had to be taken along. Monday morning, the tenth of August was set for her departure. Early in the morning, just as the sun was rising, grandfather put the side saddle on Dobbin and strapped grandmothers bun- dle to the saddle. After bidding good-bye to the neighbors who had come to see her off, she kissed her husband good-bye, and let him lift her on- to the saddle. After one of the neighbor women had handed baby Sarah to her, she started on her long trip. She traveled in the daytime and stopped at farmhouses at night. In good weather she sometimes rode twenty-five miles a day. On rainy days and on Sundays she stopped at farm- Pngi' l m'.1-x--.Yfbzf .,,y.

Her journey across Ohio, past the vineyards of Pennsylvania, across the Appalachians, and clear to New York was comparatively uneventful. She arrived in New York the second week in October. She stayed about two weeks and then started for home the first of November with her money. The days were beginning to be short and dreary. Grandmother' hurried Dobbin as much as she could. The first three weeks passed without hap- penings. One day about three o'clock in the af- ternoon it began to snow. Grandmother was just passing through some thick woods, and the wind howled fiercely through the trees. She hurried Dobbin forward. Soon the bits of sleet and snow were sting- ing her face as she drew her cloak closer a- round her baby. She heard the wolves howling through the storm as she urged the horse on. Finally the snow became so thick that she could see nothing. She slackened the reins and let Dobbin take his own way. After what seemed hours to the tired, cold woman, Dobbin turned into a gateway and stopped in front of a huge barn. In answer to the Hulloo which grandmother managed to call, a tall, kind-faced farmer came from the house with a lantern in his hand. He helped her, half-frozen, from her horse, and led her in- to the warm kitchen, where his smiling, bright-eyed Wife helped her remove her wraps and warm herself and the baby. The storm raged all night and grandmother stayed at the farmhouse for almost a week before the roads were fit to travel again. Three weeks later, on a bright December afternoon, Grandmother Ruth turned into the lane that led to her home. She was not alone, because some of the kindly neighbors whose houses she had passed had come with her to help her and to wel- come her. When they came within sight of the house, they saw grandfather rush out to meet them. He lifted grandmother Ruth and baby Sarah from the horse and welcomed them joyously. As they turned to go into the house, the slanting rays of the setting sun fell across the little house that they called home Turning her face toward the rosy west, grandmother Ruth said, John, I don't think a sunset ever Was, or ever will be, as gorgeous as this one is.' ' There, child, I hope I haven't tired you with my tale, but when I get started on that story which shows so well, the wonderful courage, and indomitable spirit of the pioneer women of America, I just can't seem to stop. Come now, the light in the west has faded, and we must go do up the chores. Brought back to the present from the wonderful past in this manner, I sighed and rose to follow him. eq ssafl' Q rg, 591 ' ,J 5, 1 ra Q-,fa C an if. f x ..e ..

Why? His wife refused to look after his food or his house. She refused, in fact, to admire him. In other words, she was too busy attending the Ladies Home Auxiliary of the D. A. F. T.--Martin Greggschnapperls Enlightening Views on Sociology, Madame Justine's Better Homes Class, etc. etc. It was one club after another. And, to hear Peter tell it, he was the joker. But joker no more! and he slapped his knee so hard that he winced from the pain. Frank Goodwyll and Louis-Louie-Jen main sat in the soft upholstered chairs at the club and listened, at first sympathet- ically, then, as his story unfolded, almost eagerly. Peter was older than the two Hboys , as he was wont to call them, but he just had to tell someone about his troubles. And, as he thought for awhile afterwards, to whom could he have told them better, for Frank immediately found a plan to put an end to all this gosh darned nonsense! What was that plan? Bust up the clubs? Lock wifie in the house? Divorce? Oh, none of these rash acts! In fact, it was something very good, er--novel. And,', rather triumphantly, I'll bet it works! from Frank. Louie was somewhat dubious. Peter was very dubious. Frank, however, like the king in The Lady or the Tiger, grew more enthusiastic in the face of oppo- sition, and he waxed eloquent in praises of his plan. In the end he convinced the two doubters. It's rather a case of extremes, don't you think?', asked Peter. Well! Don't she need extremes? asked Frank. ' tOh, I--I--well--I suppose you are right-- only it would really scare me to death. Tish! Scare to death! Why, man, it'll only wake her. Now, honestly, wonyt it?' ' Well--er--I guess so--Yes, it wouldfl So the plan was completed, a date was set for its execution and the conference was over. A few days later, after he had locked his desk, Peter washed up a bit and left the of- fice. If it had been any other night, he would have hurried to the station in order to catch the five-eighteen. Now, how- ever, he sauntered through the hurrying crowds, for on this night he would take the six-four. It wasn it his exact choice but--. Having reached the station, he looked about him. 'tH'm, fully an hourfs wait. Well,-- just then spying a chair, I might as well sit down. Long time to wait. Funny they run two trains to Halsbury every night--and just for commuters--like my- self! Well, I'm not the only man from the suburbs. Let 's see the paper. H'm, cloudy tonight--State income for the year-- what! Why--'Two practical jokers se-, verely fined,'--gosh! Can't read! Might take a walkf' He rose and sauntered out onto the re- sounding pavement. A cabman noting his approach opened the cab door inviting- ly, a newsboy nearby volubly shrieked bits of headlines, people brushed passed him, but he walked on seemingly oblivious to these things. UCrowds! Crowds everywhere. Men, women, girls, all--all going home to hot suppers and--I wonder--are they? That fat man in the Bessecks Eight--is he--Y Ridiculous--this ravingfl He walked to the next corner, turned, and went on. At five minutes to six, he again came to the station, boarded the car for Halsbury and again invited thought. I 'rzgr lfrflrv-O21 u ,,,.: ' ' ,f 4.

Above everything else, holler--loud'--that's what he said, I'm sure. 'And don't appear self -consciousl' Gosh, it is an extreme thing to do but have to go on with it now! Will we never get there? Six-thirty! Ought to be almost there--yes,--- as he looked out into the darkness--- that was Herman's Junction-- not much fartherf ' But it was seven twenty-eight when Pe- ter finally stepped into the night at Hals- bury. Accomodations trains don't hurry for anybody. As he walked through the darkness, many things came into his thoughts. Al- ways there was a feeling of dread, of anx- iety, fear! But--- I may as well see it through now! Goodness, I hope they'll be there--What if they aren't? --Unconsciously he wiped his brow with the back of his hand. Why, it's wet, clammy! It was cold, and he pulled his coat closer about him and walked on. Two more blocks-- He reached the front gate, opened it, and walked in. Such a feeling of utter helplessness never before came to him. The shadows all about him, caught him in their pointed talons and like a lamb, he felt his utter helplessness. He made the turn past the parlor, noted how badly the trellis needed fixing---walked on. There in front of him loomed the rose bushes. He passed under the dining room win- dows. Softly, silently, accurately, two shadowy forms--shadow talons--pounced on him and bore him down to the walk. He screamed in unfeigned terror. Annie! Annie! For God's sake, helpl' ' A light suddenly shone through the win- dow into the black night. Another scream rent the air, then silence smoothed the jagged tears. At this point another shadow talon out on the sidewalk stopped, stepped into the darkness and protection of the bushes. Then the two black forms emerged from the yard with a third. Ratherlimp it seemed. Pug: Fwy- Two Pete! Pete! Come on! What's the matter? You 're not hurt! Oh! Boys? I--well--I don't think that was such a bad yell. Golly, you certainly frightened me. Then anxiously, but was it very nice?' ' They went on. The shadow in the bushes, just another six-four supporter, laughed softly and went on. A joke eh! Pretty good, tho'! A ripping good one, ha, ha, haw, haw--Must try it some time, haw, haw! Pk ak Pk PK lk The next morning as the sun rose, a weary man lay in a certain boarding house in the city. That man was Peter. We know why he was weary. According to the plan, he was to remain at this place which Frank had previously seen the own- er about, for several days. At the end of a few days, his wife would surely be ready to give up all the clubs and meetings in the world for him! But Peter's conscience hurt--badly. The boys, Frank especially, considered the whole thing so far---good fun. ' 'Why Pete! it 's for four or five days only. Nothing to worry aboutl' ' persisted Frank. Those four or five days went by. In the meantime, as soon as Peter's wife was able, she had to explain as best she could, to a group of courts and city officials, just what she had seen. After her story was told, every officer, detective and sleuth in the city had Peter's picture, his- tory and name at his tongue 's end. News- papers came out with headlines concerning the Halsbury mystery. Everybody was appalled. Somewhat swelled up over the com- motion they had stirred up, the last day of Peter's intern, Frank and Louie were bound for his temporary abiding place. As men do, they talked about their case. They laughed even. After overhearing their talk, a burly plain clothes man quiet- ly walked them to jail. Even While they were cooling their heels in the hoosgow, a very mutinous man was chafing at no great distance from them. WW fq,.f7,f,, V., ww wwf ffyiwi' g ,,,, , , n 1 if ,,,,. - :.:ii'iL i' .,. Now what would they do? What could they do? Tell why the joke was played? Disgrace Pete and his wife? All they would say was that, if no noise were made, they--the boys--would take them to Peter. But, owing to the fact that the public demanded better service than the force was used to give, the chief pished and tished their pleading and announced a near date for a trial. Guilty or not, public de- mand had to be fulfilled. The trial day came. Talk about crowds! Say! There were more people in that room which normally held fifteen hundred, than there were sar- dines in a can made for four. CAnd you never saw a can and only four sardines.J In the seats and out of them were people! In the aisles, at the back, men even tried to serve as jurymen! It was an exciting scene! Over there were the boys . In the chair aloft and aloof from the crowd was the Judge. Here was the broken hearted wife. It was a sad scene. Surely these words show that there are always two sides to a court room. The trial began. Lawyers argued and used mighty good debating mannerisms. fSixes ought to have been therej. Poor wifie cried and explained and cried 2 ' nl , G , , ., ,, Q 5 ff 1 the thousandth time they had told all they possibly could--that it was a joke. Now that they were scorned, they would keep still. So the law had them. If they wouldn't tell, why, naturally, they were guilty. One lawyer tried to give a pic- turesque scene wherein the two in cold blood were hacking poor Peter to bits. It was a gruesome bit of work but very effec- tive. Then the jury filed out, and after a short time, returned. Just as the leader was about to speak, a noise was heard in the back of the room. The Judge rapped for quiet. The noise became louder--louder. Then a voice shrieked, t'Let me in! Let me in, I sayll' A gaunt, be-whiskered man rushed down the aisle. HBoys! Judge! Annie! I ain't dead, I'm alive! Alive! It was only ---- t'Peter! 'fAnnie!'l Well, there couldn't be any sentence pronounced, could there? After the crowd had left, two rather middle-aged people walked slowly down the aisle, arm in arm. Oh Annie, how could I even have--- It's all right, Peter--I--I deserved it. ' 'Oh, but I 'm so--so happy--- Peter ----- it ended in a sweet, calm again. The boysf' remained dumb.

Two twins, Altuna and Zada are stran- gling each other as the ship rocks back and forth on the rocks. They are struggling over the man they love. He is on the op- posite deck imploring them to stop, be- cause he has a wife and twenty two chil- dren. He tells them he cannot marry them both, so they decide to swim to shore to decide their fates. With pink bathing suits and umbrellas Cin case it should rainy and with a sigh in their hearts, they leap into the foaming whirlwind below. Scene 2 Altuna and Zada swim in opposite di- rections, but end up on the coast of Liver- pool. They embrace one another with fond shrieks and go to the Buckingham boarding house to recuperate. Act II Scene 1 Curtain rises at sunset. Duke Wing Wing fthe herob rides rapid- ly in pursuit of the twins, on his Kiddy- Kart. He arrives by express--9:15 CYeat- man timej. He is beside himself with anx- iety and almost throws himself into the Behring Strait.

She reads the telegram. It tells her to come to Liverpool at once or words to that effect. After hammering her cedar chest frantically, she finishes her hot dog sandwich Kwith mustardJ and sets out for Liverpool with her carpet sack and Russian bull hound. Scene 2 This scene moves quickly. Minerva is crossing the Atlantic on the B. 8: O. Act V Scene 1 Siberian Desert While on the Siberian desert, Piagelio is just returning from a game of golf with Bim Gump, his friend from Australia, who is recovering from the loss of his wife 1fWi- dow Zanderj, who died from the exertion of untangling Ridernets. He had been pad- dling his warship all morning so he thought he would lie down and write some letters. Piagelio receives a cablegraph from Mi- nerva. Scene 2 Minerva tells him of the approaching wedding of Zada and King Bozo and tells him to come to Liverpool for the truth will out and their secret can no longer be kept. He laces his rubber boots and with his Xelephone and a box of crackers he sad- dles his Ford and sets out for the Occident. Scene 3 The thick plottens. Act VI Scene 1 Liverpool After many moonshines, Minerva lands on English soil. She tells Altuna and Zada that as soon as Piagelio arrives the truth will be revealed and dirty work will begin to commence. They are excited and put on their green and white cheese cloth smok- ing jackets to receive him. Scene 2 He arrives late but sure, as he had to feed his elephants before he left. He ac- quired this habit of punctuality at Yeat- man. After much necking the action i S? J begins. Clf in doubt see Conroy's Piano Company., 11th and Olive.J Scene 3 He rids himself of his bullet proof vest and cast-steel undercoat and asks the twins where their worser-halfs are. Zada says that King Bozo has gone to a bull fight at the Stock Yards and will arrive lately. Altuna says that Duke Wing Wing is at an important meeting of the Cabinet Makers Guild and that he had just radioed for them to ship down his wooden leg as he could not enter the portals without it. Afterwards Zada asks Piagelio to tell them the secret, but he tells them that they will be surprised. Scene 4 Ain't this intricate? Sit tight--all we ask for is a trial. Scene 5 The gentlemen arrive, --Duke Wing Wling on pony back and King Bozo in his hand painted chariot. Duke Wing Wing rides pony back because of his vertebrae trouble and his disbelief in chiropractors. A reason for his tardiness was that the e- mergency brake refused to work. They assemble in the saluna, where King Bozo in his early childhood had learned to recite the Face on the Bar Room Floor' '. To their ultimate surprise and indignation they find Duke Wing Wing pacing the floor like a chagrined leopard in a bird cage. He had crept in through the drawing room window on his ankles. Poor boy. He had not closed his curly eyes or combed his pearly locks since Altuna had revealed to him that Piagelio would disclose the secret. Minerva is overcome and falling on her knuckles implores them to have mercy on her for the worst is yet to come. Scene 6 A couple of shhhhhhhh ffffff The veil of mystery is about to be drawn aside. Piagelio clears his throat and tells them to hang on his words. With bated breath they stand before him while they shiver in unison and their teeth play Yan- kee Doodle. Slowly the solemn words issue forth from his vocal cords. He be- gins thusly, t'Girls, Sister, and Noblemenl, Page Fifty-I 1't'e ,,., , , The time has come where the terrible, awe inspiring truth must be looked in the face. You girls are now o'f age and about to plunge into the sea of matrimony. It is my unwelcome duty to tell you that Zada is not 43 but ---44! And, Altuna, you are not her sin twister, but her 23rd cousin on your grandfather's side because your Un- cle's aunt married my brother's sister's husband. The moment was tense. No one moved. When suddenly, the obnoxious Russian bull hound entered unannounced and em- braced Piagelio with his teeth below the knee. Note: Due notice of funeral later. Al- ton papers please copy. After the death of her brother, Minerva departs for the Canary Islands to indulge ,, ,, ,,.,,,, ,, , , uf in her favorite outdoor sport, picking butterflies. Now we have nothing left but the two loving couples. Zada and King Bozo are finally married, but luck is against him. He was canned from his throne and is now head of the oiliest sardine business. Duke Wing Wing receives word that his wife and twenty two children have quietly entered into rest from eating lemonade and spaghetti and he is free to marry Altuna. Fate is with them, for he is putting mech- anical cheese in mouse traps. However, his fortune was made on the side. He was the chief stockholder in the company selling prune-seeders and egg-whippers to the Indians of Indiana. The Audience is requested to join in the Chorus. WHAT IS WATER? Milton Carpenter.

Unless you know the latest 1922 model of studying literature, you will have quite a time trying to solve the puz- zle. However, to a student of the ultra- modern school it means that you study the famous men and works of literature in a laundry. It is a place where you can re- cite poetry in time with the anvil chorus from the forgeshop, which is continually reminding you of its nearness. lt is a place, too, where the punctuation marks are furnished frequently and vigorously when somebody drops a ten-foot plank or other light object on the fioor of the wood- working shop above. The room develops the voice wonder- fully, not in quality but in intensity, be- cause, when the competition is in full swing, it takes volume to make your voice carry across the room. This also helps to develop a sensitive hearing as you must listen very carefully in order to know what is being said. The laundry part of the matter is not as bad as it sounds as most of the troubles come from location. A laundry isn't so bad when it isn't operating and this par- ticular one seems about as dead as they come. The ironing-board-desks will 'tpass in a pinchn and you don't have to worry about marring the genuine natural Hnish. Since a person does not need a black- board to learn how to wash and iron, the English class has to use a two-by-four portable affair, which proves very satis- factory for those in front of it. After considering all advantages and disadvantages of a laundry class-room, I feel that St. Louis could use a continued high tax to lift the literature out of the laundry. INTERSCHU LASTIC ORATORICAI, CON'l'HST By EDWIN Mucuow The Inter-High School Oratorical Con- test sponsored by Washington University, will be held in the Graham Memorial Chap- el on Friday, May 19th. Each Senior High School in the city may send two contestants, a boy and a girl. The boy will ,compete with the boys and the girl, with the girls. Three places are pro- vided for the boys and the same number for the girls. The student winning first place secures three points for his school, the student winning second place, two points, and the student finishing in third place, one point. The Debating Society of Washington University will provide a cup. The number of points won each year by the various schools is to be engraved on the cup and the cup circulated among all of the schools, remaining about two months in each school. At the end of five years, the school having the highest number of points becomes the permanent possessor of the trophy. The oration must cover about six minutes or contain about eight hundred and fifty words. After the announcement of the contest in the Auditorium, eighteen students re- sponded to the call. At a meeting of the contestants, it was decided that no one was to receive any help on his oration in the preliminary. However, the two speakers finally chosen to represent Yeatman will receive help on the construction and de- livery of their orations, the two points on which the contestants will be judged. The elimination contest for Yeatman will be held in the Auditorium on April 24th, be- fore a committee of judges. Since there are some very good speakers among the eighteen contestants, Yeatman's chances for winning the contest are good. This is the first contest of its kind in the city. It should create a good deal of inter- est and enlist the enthusiasm of our school in this yearly event. Page Ffflj-.Vine '. 31 ...J .1 ,,,.: ,igiggs V.A. fz3QL1:3:g,gs:.1:g .

K N I C K E R S By ALICE DAVIS One pleasant Sunday afternoon, I drove Sir Roger de Coverly out into one of our St. Louis parks. He was visiting in St. Louis and I was showing him our city. Sir Roger loved the natural beauties, and I de- cided that the parks were the best place in which he could see them in a crowded, modern, big city. But, what Sir Roger saw there was not wholly natural beau- ties, for there were other things to attract his attention. As we rode down Kingshighway, the fashion promenade of St. Louis, Sir Roger sat back utterly stunned. The whiz' of passing automobiles, the noise of street cars and the fashion parade on the side walk simply amazed the old gentleman. But when we entered Forest Park at Lin- dell and Kingshighway boulevardes, Sir Roger was astonished beyond words, for he had seen two young girls attired in the latest mode, knickers. What masquerade ball are those girls going to attend? he asked, horrified. Why, Sir Roger, I replied, holding back a strong desire to laugh, they're on- ly dressed in the latest fad. Fad, he uttered puzzled. Fashion-style, I corrected. Oh, you mean that they wear those breeches instead of real feminine clothes, said Sir Roger, still more puzzled. Why, certainly, I answered, as we passed several other flappers thus at- tired. Sir Roger's astonishment grew. To see members of the feminine sex clothed in masculine attire was more than this old- fashioned Englishman could understand. They don't call them breeches, I con- tinued. Knickers is the 'smart' name, derived from knickerbockers. T h e s e knicker suits usually consist, beside the bi- furcated garment, of a tailored coat and skirt of the Wrap-around style or with but- tons from belt to hem. The skirt thus eas- ily removed, may be thrown on as a cape. Buttoned on to the coat beneath the la- pel, the complete appearance of a cloak is assumed. Positively ridic'u'ous, Sir Roger scof- fed. What would their grandmothers think? Why they would actually turn in their graves if they could see these foolish females. Oh, but Sir Roger, I protested. Those girls aren't foolish. Knickers are so much more comfortable than skirts. They are more modest than the extremely short skirt, and more efficient for sport wear. A woman's place is in her skirts, the old gentleman replied indignantly. It takes a good deal of assurance or in- difference, said I, to be among the first to make this radical change of fashion, but it won't be long before we'll laugh at the fe- male in skirts. Oh, if we could only return to the good old days of my youth, exclaimed Sir Roger. Those days are gone forever, I said to myself as I suppressed a faint smile.

Yeh, You know, have everybody talking about you! Say, Hal, said Bob in his usual se- rious way, ' 'if everyone was talking about me, it wouldnlt be fame, it'd be scandal V' Oh, get out. You 're always joking! Did you see here in the paper how a young college boy became nationally famous in forty-eight hours? Well, well, awful slow chap, wasn't he? ' 'Slow! Sure. Bet I could cut his time in half, said Bob more seriously than ever. He had a habit of betting upon any ques- tion upon which there was any possible doubt, and of taking impossible dares, which, to the astonishment of everyone, he invariably carried out. So Hal, not in the least daunted by Bob's bravado, came back immediately with,-A ' 'How much did you say you'd bet? Well, said Bob, considering, I'll bet you that I'll have my name on three first pages in headlines within two days. The loser pays for seats at any show the winner wishes to go to, and provides a swell feed after the show. How's that? Fine! howled Hal, enthusiastically. Here's where I call your bluff, old boy. You've got about as much chance to get your name in a headline without commit- ting murder, as I have to scale the side of the Woolworth buildingl' ' Bob grabbed his hat and said, 'fCome on, you old tortoise. Welll be late to the lecturelngand he ran out the door and down the steps. f'Coming! called the more careful Hal, as he closed the door behind him. So that's how it all started. I know, be- cause Bob told me all about it later. Both Bob and Hal have left school now, as they graduated two years ago. I was only a freshie at the time these things happen- ed, but I remember it all vividly and will try to put things down just as they hap- pened. After the boys had come home that night and gone to bed, Bob lay awake listening to Hal 's gentle snoring. He was revolving in his mind various plans by which he could acquire fame. He could set the school on fire, or rob a bank, but these would incur prison sentences. He might steal the school skeleton, but this would also involve him in difficulties. He wondered if Hal would let him back out. No, probably not, because with Hal, a bet was a pledge of honor. Besides, the news of it would have circulated all through the student body by afew hours after sunrise. Hal had spread the news that evening. Suddenly Bob ceased his restless tossing and lay still. He had a plan. After working it out care- fully in his mind, he rose quietly and dressed. He made sure that Hal was asleep and wouldn't follow, and let himself out of the door silently. Through the thick, murky blackness of the Egyptian Room of the Ancient History Museum cut a thin shaft of yellow light. A slim figure glided to the side of a large glass case in which reposed two mummies. In the light of the flashlight, one was seen to be small and wrapped in casings which still retained some of their elaborate hues. A card proclaimed, 'fThe Embalmed Body of the small Prince Elhaz di Khirgiz, who died at the age of seven years. One of the oldest mummies in existence. Found by our Prof. Kilgary and said to be worth over S40,000. The slim figure lifted the lid from the case and then took out the mummy. Carefully placing the mummy under its arm, it closed the case and glided from the Pays .S'i.x't-1-fllw W' ' 'M ' , , , W, ,,,, Xxx I ,,f, 6, 7 f, W ,jay ,1... ,.,....,,, Q X ldv..

Hurry up, he shouted. We've got a class at 8:45.' ' While Bob dressed, Hal sat on the bed and teased him about the bet. ' 'Say Bob,' ' he said,' 'I 've found you are perfect, absolutely perfect in one respect. ' 'Yeh? said Bob, sleepily. Yes. In foolishness you have no peer. Just imagine a fellow crazy enough to bet seats to a show and a swell feed such as I 'm going to order, on the belief he could be- come famous in 48 hours! You 're a per- fect fooll' ' Just then came a knock at the door, her- alding the landlady with a newspaper. Did you boys see this? she said. The first headline stated, ' 'Famous Mummy Stolen from School Museum, and underneath was the statement, ' 'Stu- dent wakes Prof. Kilgary at 4 o'clock to tell of seeing robbery and guarantees capture of burglar within 24 hours. Student's name not disclosed. Large reward of- fered. Ho-hum! yawned Bob. Same old stuff. Probably 'll find it in the basement somewhere. Let's go. The day passed amid much controversy over the robbery and wonder as to who the detective student might be. Professor Kilgary taught no classes, and was almost frantic with anxiety over the loss of this precious treasure. That evening Bob left Hal alone, saying that he had to see a teacher about making up an exam. He walked for quite a while before turning in at the Kilgary home. ' 'Well, said the professor: ' 'Any news? ' 'Yes, said Bob. I have suspicions of a very prominent student, who probably stole the mummy to sell to pay his tuition. If you like, we'll go over to his rooms now and find out whether he has it or not.' ' After Bob had ransacked closets about an hour and pulled out drawers until they were ready to give up the hunt, suddenly Page S i xty Tivo the professor, jumping up from before an opened trunk, shouted, ' 'My little Elhaz! Here he is! Come, come,' ' he said tenderly, and picked up the tiny mummy as if it were a child. Then turning upon Hal Chase he said in a low, angry tone, Mr, Chase, you will hear from me very shortly. I am very sorry to learn that a student of your standing and seeming integrity would stoop to such a deed! With these words, he stalked out of the room, followed by Bob. Before closing the door, Bob took a long look at Hal, who stood dumfounded, and rooted to the floor. He was so surprised he could neither speak nor make any motion to fol- low them. The next morning all four of the city pa- pers had in large headlines a statement similar to the following: Bob Dana, Student, Finds Kilgary Mummy. A detailed account of the search and re- covery of the mummy followed, with a pic- ture and brief life history of the now fa- mous student detective. An interview with Bob explained the detective's method of ascertaining the person responsible for the disappearance of Prof. Kilgary's Elhaz- which read as follows: ' 'Upon being questioned, the young stu- dent modestly condescended to give ex- clusively for the Cname of particular paperj the means by which he tracked dowln the perpetrator of this unusual crime. Notic- ing near the museum, foot-tracks in the soft earth, he examined them closely with the handy glass he always carries with him, a la Sherlock Holmes. The depressions were unmistakably made by rubbers. Mr. Dana said that from the fact that the foot- steps were deeper at the toe, he immediate- ly deduced the fact that the villain walked backward. From these small bits of evi- dence, the detective's remarkable mind im- mediately jumped to a conclusion which an ordinary person would have never thought of. ' 'I decided, said Mr. Dana, ' 'that, since the man wore gum-shoes, or rubbers and walked backward, that he undoubted- ff 2 1f,, A,V, , A.,A, , ly had receding gums. Upon inquiry I found that the person with the pronounced case of receding gums was none other than my room-mate, Harold Chase. Although it pained me to convict him, I could not let affection interfere with my manifest duty. The guilt of Mr. Chase was established without doubt when I asked him if he liked house-work. 'Can't say that I do, he said, but I prefer it infinitely to the work-housel' 'I We prophesy a great future in the sleuth- ing business for this brilliant young begin- ner. He is now a nationally famous figure, having risen to fame in thirty-six hours. You can imagine what happened when Hal saw the paper. Of course, he wanted to commit murder upon the spot, but Bob gently reminded him that 'fAll 's fair in love and warf' and in making bets. ' 'How about staging your little blowout tonight at the Ritz? Oh, boy, won't I or- der some food! I have to meet several re- Igorkters at the Ritz tonight, anyhow, said o . ,...,...,,,..a.,5 l ,, ,zz Q ,..,....,J Yes, just wait till the reporters get my story, Bob Dana! And wait till Professor Kilgary gets his hands on you! I'll prob- ably get the reward for the recovery of the mummy and you'll get ten years for steal- ing little Prince Elhaz. He who laughs last chuckles the loudest, my boy. 'fSayl said Bob, his face going white. You don 't really suppose they could arrest me, do you? Don't know about that, said Hal. 'tForty thousand is a lot of change to con- ceal in onels own roomfl Bob went to see Professor Kilgary that morning. The professor was not easily won over to the idea that the pilfering of Elhaz di Ghurgiz was a harmless, practical joke. However, after the interview, Bob came out smiling. He carried the message of the learned man's forgiveness. A cer- tain remark of the professor's, however, rung in his ears. t'Dana, he had said, You are a fine chap and I like you personally, but that does not in the least keep me from the de- cision that you are a perfect fool!'l 'txt NSW f 0 V' 6 -, Se-4 f1.f7Q'.5b g Page Sixfv- Three I' ', ZI3'LZZlL 2p?

IN TI-IE OZARKS By WILSON YECK In the winter of 1921 and 1922, my bud- dy and I spent nine weeks in the Ozarks mountains of Missouri, in the heart of the Big Piney River district. We had com- pany down there, two real, honest to good- ness dogs. They were Airedales and Hght- ing fools. One's name was Ruby and the other's, Kaiser. He was a small, yellow dog with powerful fore legs and chest. He had a mouth large enough to hold a cocoa- nut. This dog could tree anything from a mouse to a mountain lion. Now, for Ruby. She was only two years old, while Kaiser was going on his seventh year. She was built like him, but was smaller. She could run like a streak of lightning. Could she fight? She could! There wasn't a coon or Varmint that roams the Ozarks that could whip that dog I am going to tell about the encounter Ruby had with a twenty-pound coon one night. It was, for a fact, the greatest Varmint fight I have ever seen. To begin with, it was on the night of the tenth of January that my buddy and I were planning for a real hunt. We had kept the dogs quiet all day to have them ready for an all-night run. We cooked our- selves alittle bit so that we could stand the long grind over the mountains. We roast- ed the dogs a rabbit to give them pep to stand the hard work, too. By this time, my other buddy had come down to go with us. He was a young farmer boy named Charley. After supper, we sat around and waited till it was time to start, for var- mints do not come out until it has become pretty dank. With plenty to talk about and a good fire to look into, time passes quickly, and soon it was eight o'clock. The dogs were getting restless and wanted to go. They knew that we were going hunting. Eight o'clock is a fine time to get out. The varmints stir only from then Page Sixry-Four until midnight. At that hour, they start back to their dens in bluffs or hollow trees. When the dogs tree them in their dens, there is no use to try to get those var- mints, because their dens run away back into the bluff. So, you see, it is better to get them coming from their dens than go- ing back to them. We filled the lantern with oil to be sure that we had enough to last us for the night. We put on our hunt- ing outfits and were ready to go. I had the pistol and the ax, Curley had the shotgun, and Charley had the lantern. We all took a chew of horseshoe for luck. Every time we took a chew, we had good luck. I said to the fellows, Boys, we're going to get something before we get to Wild Cat Hol- low. I hope so, said Curley. Sure enough, if we didn't kill an owl about fifty feet away from camp. We fol- lowed the river down for about two miles, long ones too. By this time, we were in the shadow of Wild Cat Bluff, the Hollow being just around the corner. We were kid- ding each other about getting something before we hit Wild Cat Hollow. The night was still and dark. The stars were shin- ing bright and high. All we could hear was the bark of a farmer's dog on a far-off farm, the hoot of an owl on the top of a large bluff , or the river as it roared over the huge rocks. Now and then we could hear the howl of a wolf on a far-off hillside. We crossed a fence which bordered a corn field. Here there was alarge coon using, as the hunters say. We had seen his tracks in the sand several times before while down that way The dogs were working like a clock, when all of a sudden old Kaiser let out, Ruby right behind him. Charley stopped with the lantern, Curley dropped the gun, and I stood like a statue. 7' f ' f ::::mz'ffzi.,M-. -.,,,- 1.,': ,.', ' L'3:f.:, .,., '., Come on, boys. Itls that coon,', said Charley, as he started to run with the light. We followed close behind him. By this time, there were a growl, a whistle, and a few more growls and whistles. This time it was the old Coon We were after. We finally got to where the fight was, and sure enough there was the big coon and the two dogs were having it out with him. Kaiser rushed in and got his hold around the coon's neck. They rolled and fought a- round on the ground until Kaiser was tired. Then we took Kaiser off and turned in Ru- by. She made one dive and had the old coon by the neck. Over and over they went,, first one on top and then the other. Down the hill they tumbled. Still Ruby held ony she wouldn't let go. They fought - V 'iffy ,Z .. ..,.. . , .,,.. ...... ,,,.,.,. ,.-,,, ,..,.. ,.....,,..-M.. ..,., ...,...., ..... ,,......,.... , ,,,,,,,. .. ....,.,,....,,,,,,,J around at the bottom of the hill for a while until the old coon got loose. Up the hill he went Ruby right behind him. When he reached the top, he turned. He rose on his hind legs and made one dive for the dog. He got Ruby by the ear, and of all the howling and whining you ever heard, Ruby did it. He had Ruby going for a while, and down the hill they went a- gain. When they hit the bottom, Ruby was on top. She had her hold for good this time. The old coon was clawing and biting as hard as he could, but still Ruby wouldn't give up. She had him pinned to the ground. She was bearing her strong white teeth into his neck. He began to weaken, and soon he was stretched out on the ground, a dead Coon. iifiig MILADY'S COIFFEURS By ADDIE BEIMES Can't help criticizing them 'em.

If you have,you will agree with me that some of the said companies should be prosecuted as base deceivers of the innocent public. If you haven't ventured in this Held of finance, read and take warning. The motto of these concerns seems to be that originated by the late P. T. Barnum, There's a suck- er born every minute. Let us first consider those firms which are supposed to aid the poor housewife wha can't, like the baby in the book, make both ends meet. The first supposed money- maker that comes to hand is the adver- tisement of a knitting company. The heading is: Mrs. Green with one of our ,knitters makes one thousand dollars in one year. Then follows a long biography, telling all about how she and her husband were unable to make both ends meet and were going from bad to worse until she read the advertisement in the paper and sent for a knitter. Now, she owns her home, a car, etc. Some woman sends the attached cou- pon to the company and receives a few days later a bulky package. Opening this, she finds first a bunch of testimonials tell- ing how Mrs. Worth knits with a child on one arm. Several others knit while doing their household work. One peculiar fea- ture is that no one in your own town ever works for the aforesaid company. Last of all, comes a slip of paper on which is print- ed Knitter No. 1-565.003 Knitter No. 2-3380.009 Knitter No. 3-39100.00 Be- fore this, nothing was said about buying the knitter. It is also to be noted that the companies require cash in advance. Then observe the price they pay for socks-one dollar and a half per dozen pairs. The Mrs. Green mentioned must have knitted Pug: Sixty-Six fifteen thousand nine hundred and eighty- four pairs of socks in one year or eighty- eight socks a day including Sundays. Im- possible! Enough of that. Now let us turn to the publishing companies which offer a com- mission to those getting subscriptions for their magazines. Forty cents is the high- est offer for a two-dollar-yearly subscrip- tion. I was sucker enough to bite for that. They sent me literature describing how several people made one hundred dollars per week, among them a college student. This filled me with enthusiasm, but I did not figure that at least the college student must have gotten two hundr'd and fi ty subscriptions per week or thirty-three a day. Well, I went out one day with a sample of the magazines, a receiptbook andasmile. I asked seventy-five people and received seventy-five-not subscriptions, but re- fusals, and that was not counting the many people who would not even answer the bell. I came home footsore and weary. Every sorrow, however, has its balm, so they say. I had heard the police band play at a funeral. This was an amusement and I met the cousin of one whom I ado-- admire a great deal. The next day I tried again and each time received that which was easy to get, a refusal. Then I quit. These companies do not leave even us authors alone. I have seen Hadsnoffering to let you make twenty-five dollars a week. You get that much, perhaps, if you take their course in short story writing, price, in advance, ten dollars. For a last example of financial disap- pointment come the puzzle pictures. Find all the words beginning with Ag one thou- sand dollars offered in prizes. If you buy three three-dollar pencils, or whatever else they're selling, and have the biggest list of , ,,,, i i f 15 f V, if , , ., My ,WM 411 ,gf fy f My w:z1ffff,, Cs f . . ff ,,, words, you get five hundred dollars. As a matter of fact, nobody I ever knew got a prize. After this criticism I suppose there will be no more of these advertisements in the magazines. If, however, they still desire to advertise, let me tender them a bit of advice: Tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth and mention in the ad that the knitter is eighty dol- lars or the course ten dollars. 1 TRIALS ot' the New junior By GLADYS BRYAN I was in the Hrst stage of my high school life-I was a New Junior, For a long time I had wanted to go to the Library, but I al- ways felt a very peculiar shyness among older, intelligent looking students. One day a library slip came into my possession and I decided to make use of it. I had been told that my study hall teacher would sign one part of the slip, which should then be put on file in the Library, but nothing was said of the other part. Accidentally I gave the study-hall teacher the right part 1 in- stinct probably prompting me to get rid of the larger part firstj. This she signed, and I proceeded to the Library. A girl sitting next to me had a book called, The Black Arrow, so I went to the alcove where I saw a boy get her book, and got a copy for myself. Presently, a boy, who seemed to have some authority, tapped me on the shoulder, telling me to make out a receipt for the book and also saying that I should let him get me my book next time. I thought he should have been glad I saved him the trouble. I still had the smaller part of the library slip. I thought it must be useful in some way, but what that way could be I hadn't the slightest idea. I finally decided that something would have to be done with it at once, for I noticed no- body else had one, so I asked the girl with HThe Black Arrowl' what to do with it. She said I should have left it with the study- hall teacher! Now I was in for it. I was afraid to leave the Library and wondered what a Senior would have done in my place. I waited in misery for the end of the hour, my fate seeming to grow blacker and blacker all the time. When the period was over, I rushed to my study hall, and gave the teacher the cause of my trouble. She threw it away!

'tThe secretary will please read the minutes. Roger Humphrey rose and read from his notebook: The 'We Fours' held their regular meeting last week at the home of Austin Reppington. George Birmingham presented to the club, a letter which he had found on the way to the meeting. It was addressed to our absent vice-president, Bert Brian, and was from his sister Kitty, who is in the country. Here Roger stop- ped to wink at Austin and to sing, Dear Kitty, my love for you will never fail as long as kitty has a tail. Austin reddened. Deliver me, O mer- ciful justice, from the day I, a poor inno- cent of nine, wrote that in her class book. If you could remember your Ancient His- tory as well as you remember my life his- tory, you wouldn't be having tears in your eyes on report card day. Order! Order! commanded George. Continue, Secretary. Bert joined his family in the country last week and must have lost the letter on the way to the station. Any way, after much quibbling as to the etiquette, honor, et cetera, we decided to read the already- opened letter. Our main reason for doing this was because we suspected that there was some other attraction for Bert in the country besides Nature and the cows. We were right. The letter reads as follows: 'Dear Bert: I expect to see you here next week, just in time for the apple picking. Every- thing is the same as last year. I was over to the Palmers' yesterday and saw your friend Polly, who is just as red-headed as before. She was disappointed at your not being there and said, Where's Bert? I told her you would be down next week and Page Sixgv-Eight she seemed more satisHed. Gee, it's hard to write letters to one's brother, so all I'm going to say is, Hurry up, 'cause the wa- ter's Hue. Mother says not to forget to put her scarf in your suit case. Lovingly, Sis. As Bert is our confirmed woman-hater, it was agreed that this female must be some female to attract boneheaded Bert. C'I'll need divine assistance if he ever gets a hold of thisfj So we decided that at the next meeting each member should bring in a written description of Polly as we think she must be to attract our Achilles. Then we will write to Bert for a description of the lady of his heart and see how near we come to being ri ght.' ' That's all, said Roger. ' 'I'll now ask you to read your concep- tion of Pollyf' Roger drew an envelope from his pocket and interpreted from fthe scowls: Polly could be one of several entirely different kinds of people because, as you know, the Palmers keep the hotel in Adamsville, but to me she is a simple country maid, who has attracted Bert because she is not like his sophisticated sister--Ouch! Let go of my ear! Take it back! you half baked clam! You mushy oyster, take it back! Oh, all right, but we all know you're soft about her. ' 'Nay, nay, wrong me not, villain. It's merely against my principles to talk ill of any lady, Austin grandly declared. ' 'Have it your way, Sir Walter Raleigh. As I was reading, ' 'Polly has blue eyes and thick, red curls. She is sweet sixteen, dainty and demure, fair and red cheeked put ,not buxom like the usual country ass. ' 'Next,' ' ordered George. Austin got up, made a stiff bow, and be- gan, Probably called Consuela Van Some- fa v V' Zz , Lgiijjy'iifffffitfjifgi '. 1i1 ji,3::,f,i,.,g..iffL'1f,,1j15,.1fi3 .'W.

A great mop of henna hair full of stuffings tops her proud head and her face is swamped in the wares of the great god, Cosmetics. Speaking of talking about people be- hind their backs, I think someone has for- gotten his little remark about chivalry, taunted Roger. Oh, keep still and let me read mine, retorted George. Polly--a girl of eighteen who in some way has awakened Bert is pro- tective instinct. We all know that Bert is one of those animals who has to save you before he becomes interested in you. Probably he saved her from drowning or from being lost in the woods. I think she has straight, bobbed hair, hazel eyes, a freckled, pug nose and flat feet. Some assortment, remarked Roger. Say, said Austin, 'tdon't you think it would be better to write to Kitty than to Bert? He might get sore and not answer lolr perhaps his own affections might blind im. Good idea, Romeo 5 also an excuse to write to Juliet! ' f'Lay off, cried the Romeo in despair. I make a motion that Mr. Austin Reppington be commissioned to write to Miss Katherine Brian for full description of Polly, mocked Roger.

You'd better call a special meeting before Satan gets the better of me. l Roger was hailed and all three sped to George's house. After some talk it was decided to draw lots for the honor of reading the letter. Austin, lucky dog, drew the winning num- ber. The envelope was opened, the letter taken out and unfolded. Austin read, Dear Austinfi HAh, ha, the plot thickens. She calls him fdearf' t'Do you want to hear this or donft you? inquired the irritated Austin. By all meansf, f'Dear Austin, I got your letter which I read to Bert 'cause I like to see him laugh hard. You know, it brings the tears to his eyes. Now you're wondering why he should laugh.

ORREN KNAUER Every Tomorrow a Vision of Hope! Every tomorrow a vision of hope! What a magnificent and buoyant sound this has. It seems to carry with it the spirit of courage, of forging ahead, of ac- complishment! It expresses the feeling that yesterday doesn't matterg that only today and tomorrow are vital. They are ours, to do with as we choose, to make of them what we will. In spite of the trou- bles of yesterday and today, tomorrow is there waiting for us, unsullied and shining. As we grow older, we realize that life be- comes more complex as the years go by. Small disappointments are suffered and sordid little troubles are gone through ev- ery day. But the wonderful phrase, Ev- ery tomorrow a vision of hope , is a flam- ing watchword to remind us that these lit- tle troubles and disappointments belong to today. Tomorrow will soon be ours and there are so many shining tomorrows waiting for us. Page Seventy The class of June '22 has chosen this as their motto. May it stay with them as they leave Yeatman, and may it prove a guide to the many tomorrows, where the memories of the yesterday of Yeatman may live with them, guide them, and help them as they go onward with the glorious vision of hope. May June '22 be worthy of its motto. May the class carry it on- ward to success and achievement, bearing the Yeatman ideals of honor and truth and may they deserve, always, a corner in the hearts of the faculty and student body of Yeatman.-K. E. ali Bk Pk :lf Bk CAHOKIA MOUNDS Archeologists have been discovering of late that the Middle West is an excellent source for Earth history. There are a series of Indian mounds extending from Keokuk, Ia. to East St. Louis, which, be- cause of the dimensions of the territory, are known as the New York Village. The prehistoric inhabitants of Cahokia were of the type who flattened their babies' heads by binding wooden boards about their foreheads. Fossilized organisms are being discovered, in size from one ten- thousandth to a thousandth of an inch. Some of the forms are protozoa,while others are bacteria. It is supposed that these fossils gradually became a race with which we are familiar. Of course, this is a good illustration of the theory of Evolution, and while we do not care to enter into a dis- cussion of Evolution, yet we wish to say in passing, that it behooves people to suspend judgment on a proposition as widely ac- cepted as the Darwinian theory. So don't say, Well, my great-grandfather wasn't a monkey, and then stop. Scientists are unearthing, at Cahokia, altars, pottery, and many other things. They are being enabled to put skeletons together and we may watch with great in- terest further development which are put- ting the Middle West on the archeological map.-K.

They thought it was marvelous. They stood and watched the man float around awhile. When he wanted to come down fprovided the balloon didn't burstj, he threw out the sand bags, one by one, and descended. Some trick! Consider the strides in the past twenty years. The Wright Brothers perfected the airplane and from the crude balloon of the late eighteen hundreds, we have progressed to the marvelous pieces of mechanism which were such an import- ant factor in the Great War. Up to the present time, we have thought of aircraft as almost exclusively a wartime feature, but in these days of Disarmament and Genoa Conferences, our thoughts are turning away from war and we are begin- ning to think of to what use these wonder- ful mechanical birds are going to be put. When We think of what strides inventive genius along the aircraft line has made in the last few years, we can safely say that nothing is impossible. We can let our imaginations run wild and still be pretty safe. In fact, we think, that by the year nineteen-thirty, or thereabouts, domestic life will be just about revolutionized. Just think of architecture. An ad in the Morning Skylarkl' will probably read: For rent, one strictly modern efficiency apartment, ten bathrooms, one living- room, caloric expert in building, adequate hangars for family planes . Then a modern family will rent the apartment. The living room will have as many beds as are needed to accomodate the family, all concealed in the walls, ceiling, and floor, and modestly sheathed in cur- tains. When the family rises in the morn- ing, the beds amble back to their hiding- places, the family attire themselves within the curtains, which automatically disappear the atmosphere. Oh, the apartment has everything, even automatic orange seeders fprovided the calorie expert approvesy. Father will probably start out first.

Spring could transform even a city into shimmering loveliness, but it's in the coun- try that one really appreciates that season. ln the matter of surrounding country, St. Louis is indeed fortunate. After only a forty minute ride, one finds himself in real, honest-to-goodness country. For instance just outside of Jennings one can go for three miles without seeing a single house. At the present time, automobiles are used so generally that almost everyone takes a Sunday joy-ride, as it were. Of course, riding about is wonderful for the tired business man' ' and his equally tired wife, but an auto cannot go through woods and cannot give more than a general idea of spring time in the country. To hikers alone is given the joy of tramping through Woods and discovering new kinds of ferns and flowers. Around the end of April, all of the fruit trees either have blossomed or are in flow- er, except a few late varieties. The pret- tiest blossom, which cannot fail to attract the hikers or riders through the country, is that of the wild crab apple. This rather disagreeable fruit certainly makes up for its faults in blossoming. Some of the roads are lined on either side by these trees. On going down one of these roads, one gets the impression of stepping into a bridal bower, decked with fluffy blossoms of a luscious strawberry and cream pink. Before opening, these blossoms are a deep rose color and have an unusually sweet fragrance. If the hiker isn't wearing his patent- leather oxfords or her cream colored sport sandals, perhaps a creek through the woods will be explored. A creek bottom, the ground still marshy from the spring over- flow, is one of the most interesting and beautiful spots. Wild violets are so num- erous that one must step carefully, and sweet williams, which are much easier to Page Swenly- Two said to bring down a bit of the blue sky to scatter it lavishly over the earth. At the end of April, wild larkspur and trillium al- so are about ready to bloom. Any one who frequents the woods cannot help no- ticing may-apples, looking just like little, bright green umbrellas standing about a foot from the ground. If one lifts up the large leaves, a small, cup shaped gold and White flower is disclosed. If the explorer is very lucky, he may find a Jack-in-the- pulpit, which resembles a calla lily turned into jade. lt's one of the grandest and most glor- ious of feelings to come healthily tired with one's arms laden with really wild flowers. If all the city-Weary people would only realize that a veritable garden awaits to be explored at the end of a grinding week, there wouldn't be so many Monday grouches or pale and listless workers. Dk bk Dk gk PF YEATMAN DAY. ln the year nineteen-four, a High School was completed and named the James E. Yeatman High School. No greater honor could have been conferred upon it, for in James E. Yeatman, we find that noblest thing--a man. In his life We find the con- summation of an ideal, of a soul, noble in its ability to sacrifice. Mr Yeatman Was, for many years, a leading citizen of St., Louis. In the panels over the stage, in the Auditorium, three phases of his life are de- picted, his love and sympathy for children, his Work in the Western Sanitary Com- mission, the Red Cross of that day, and his aid of the Union Soldiers. This noble man possessed an understanding soul. He was never too busy for the smallest troubles of a little child, or for the sorrows of some heartbroken mother. He was a man for both God and men. It has long been a custom, peculiar to us, at the national Decoration Day, to have a Yeatman Day. Every student brings a flower to lay on the grave of Mr. Yeatman. Chopin 's wonderful Hark to the Tread is sung and there is not a person - , ,,,,., , 5 ,Q 54 -'f M ,V ' , igigjlfjf.,f?f'f'f'f51i1i,fi'f3Qf.Q..ifi. ., X , who participates in that impressive cere- mony who can go away from it entirely un- touched. Minds and souls receive a last- ing impression. For surely, we who believe in immortal- ity must believe that great souls Ngo marching on . May we hope that soul had taken up its abode in the halls of Yeat- man and that its influence may last in the hearts of Yeatmanites? Surely we may believe that this is not an idle wish, for his ideals still live for us. They are ours to live by. In Mr. Butler's office, we find a picture of James E. Yeatman. Under it are in- scribed these lines, E'en as he trod that day to God, So walked he from his birth, ln gentleness and simpleness, And honor and clean mirth. Here was a man of gentleness and sim- plicity, imbued with that shining thing, honor, and last, that human quality, the ability to enjoy and participate in Mclean mirth . Can we not see him with his own children on his knee? Can we not visual- ize this man in the hearty enjoyment of some childish prank? Why surely, for in his humanity lies his power. And we stu- dents of Yeatman High School who hear his name, have received the heritage of his ideals, for surely his spirit, in the God to whom he went, dwells all about us.fK. E. ak :if PLAYING THE GAME. Recently, in looking over some old books, we came across the phrase, HNot to win, but to play the game. Very often abstract thoughts sound well, and may be conjured up into a lot of flashy rhetoric, but this thought really carries with it just good common sense, and also the touch of spirituality which lifts things up out of the -commonplace. ,gtg i 1 z L If everybody would really play the game , wouldn't it be a pretty good, little, old world, after all? Of course, we are all in school, and naturally our outlook is bounded pretty much by the four walls of Yeatman. We wonder if there aren't a good many of us who are not really playing the game for just the sheer sport of it. There are so many ways of being good sports. We wonder if keeping up to a cer- tain standard of scholarship isn't a pretty essential part of Hplaying the game . So it goes. Of course, our athletics have the idea of winning when they're playing, but you know welve all heard Mr. Hill stand up and say that the boys will put up a good fight. He seldom emphasizes either the winning or losing, but he does emphasize the game! We can learn another thing from ath- letics. The athletes, in whatever branch of sport it may be, seem to support their leaders, the coach and the captain. This being able and willing to follow is absolute- ly an essential part of playing and winning too. After one gets out into the business world, one finds that one must be able to comply with directions and follow the rules of the game. Then for the touch of spirituality of which we spoke. W e're all looking for happiness in one way or another. It is not going to be found in a search for just one thing or in a particular achievement. With our eyes all the time on a distant goal we're going to miss the fun on the way. Our eyes will be dazzled with the sun of what we hope to achieve, and all the pleas- ant little things along the way we will over- look entirely. But just suppose we look at life as sport, not quite as Pollyanna did in her sickeningly sweet glad game , putting little troubles in their relative places, for- getting them and going on with the game. Why don't we? lt's a heap of fun and we'll never be bored for welll be too busy playing the game.-K. Fl.

N EW S E NIO RS GLADYS EPPS RAYMOND MUETHER Howdy! Yes, the New Seniors have come to claim their modest space, and to immortalize themselves on the pages of the ' 'Lifef' We were handicapped at the start because of our late organization, but we are working hard to make the remain- der of the term a successful one. At our first meeting we elected the officers of the class. Fred Hagemann, a hard working 'E' ' earning member is the president. E's aren't his only specialty, however, for he is prominent in Track and Basket- ball and is a member of both teams. Har- din Smith, another aspiring youth, was elected treasurer. He, too, possesses un- usual intellectual ability, and he is not afraid to use it. That we trust him, is shown by the fact that we allow him to care for the enormous sum of money coming as dues from our class. But don't think that the boys Walked away with all the honors, for it was only by the tender mercies of the girls that the boys were elected, since the girls hold the majority. They chose well, however, for the young lady is not only clever and witty, but not bad to look upon. By this time you must have guessed who she is, for it could be none other than Elizabeth Davis, who was chosen as Secretary. Of course, we, as Life Correspondents cannot proclaim our own merits, but, just the same, we have our own opinions and so will leave the matter to you. Don't think that we elected officers and then retired, for we didn't. The Seniors called upon us to carry out their color scheme of Green and White on Color Day-- we mean the white effect, of course, not the green. We haven't any parties to tell about in this issue of the Life, but maybe it's a good thing. If the boys knew how many girls there are, they might not come. However, our first party is to be ultra- exclusive, and the social event of the sea- son, and is to be for New Seniors only. Our second is to be a Joint Party. This is always looked forward to expectantly, as it draws the two classes together and pro- motes a closer bond of fellowship. This is our last party before We become full fledged Seniors, SO WATCH US COME. 41,3 M KSREEEQU ,qfgf ',,5m'.p f ' as E ., ' :Bragg E 5T?i gf x!x'lJ G'GCZ9 4 Page Scventy-Four W f V..,, ., . .AA ' 'ff4f' 1 f f W f 1, .0 7. we my fffffzffxf W ' 1.

BASEBALL By LEOPOLD HARDING The middle of March found some thirty- five candidates for the team hard at work under the eagle eye of Coach Hill. Be- cause of the cold weather, practice sessions were held in the gymnasiums. This includ- ed bunting practice, fielding, and pitching. As the weather became warmer, suits were issued and practice was removed to the campus because no grounds was available at the Fairgrounds. Shortly after, how- ever, the use of Grounds Five was obtained and practice started in real earnest. Six letter men: Schurr, Cianciola, Yeck, Engler, Stremmel and Albrecht, are back to form the nucleus of this yearys team. Stremmel and Albrecht, last year's battery, are sure to perform much better than they did last year. Schurr will undoubtedly hold down second, while Yeck will cavort around first. Cianciola will be seen in right field and Engler will under-stu dy Stremmel or patrol one of the outer gardens Valuable material is found in some of last year's subs. Among the new candi- dates, Harding, Blankenmeister, Leach and Mason stand out among the subs. Haeus- er, Lochmoeller, Farrell, Winkleman and Hannibal are the best of the newcomers. Williams is a fairly good fielder, and if he improves his stickwork, he may show some- thing. On Tuesday, March 28, Yeatman met Eden Seminary in her first practice con- test. It ended with a knotted count, 6-6, when the game was called. Engler's fine pitching was the outstanding feature. He struck out seven Edenites in three innings. The Yeatman fellows were right there with their trusty bludgeons, hitting the Eden pitchers freely, but not bunching their hits. In her next practice game, Yeatman de- feated Ranken 14-0 in an abbreviated' con- test. The Ranken pitchers were batted freely and the scorer suffered writer's cramp from marking down the hits and runs. Harding, Yeck and Albrecht were the leading hitters. With the bases filled, Harding caught hold of a straight one and cleared the bags with a triple over the right fielderis head. Stremmel and Engler held the Ranken stickers in check. Loyola Hall was the next victim to fall before the powerful attack of the team. The score was 12-5 with Yeatman on the long end In the first inning we hopped off with a three-run lead. This seemed sufiicent the way Stremmel was pitching. When Eng- ler, who was off color that day, went in, Loyola scored five runs. However, this did not affect the stouthearted Yeatmanites. In the sixth inning, which proved to be the last, runs were pushed across the plate. Eight of these came after two men were out. As the opening day of the regular season approaches, it seems that these men will compose the line-up: At first base Fat Yeck will be seen. 'fFat ' is a heavy hitter and covers more ground than one would think he could for a fellow his size. He can take a turn on the mound if the necessity comes. He can also catch and play the outfield. Shorty Schurr will play second. Shorty is a good fielder and his hitting has greatly improved over that of last year. He is a good lead off man, for he is small and coaxes walks from the pitchers. HMickey Farrell will play short. Far- rell is a good fielder and is fairly good with the stick. He is being closely pressed by Schacht for the infield berth. 'Duke' Lochmoeller will hold down third. Duke is a heavy hitter and a good Page Sttwzfy-Fi:'e Page Sevenly-Six TEAM BALL 1922 BASE Q, Z V .fl , ,,,, A 1 .?.,,:.:.,:.t iitii. az.. fielder, and his one fault, that of throwing past first, can be overcome by practice. Leo Harding will cavort in left field. An infielder, competing with Lochmoeller, Harding was transferred to left field by Coach Hill because Meinert, regular field- er, was declared ineligible. He once played the outfield, is a good judge of a fly ball and can handle ground balls in the field. He was a weak hitter last year, but he has greatly improved his swatting. Engler will play center when he doesn't pitch. He is a good fielder and has a good aim. He can judge Hy balls with the best of them and can be expected to do his share on the attack, for he is a good hitter. Cianciola will patrol right field. Joe is a good fielder, although a trifie slow. Joe's value does not come from his fielding. He shines with the stick. He is one of the heaviest hitters in t h e High School League. Patty Albrecht will don the mask and pads for Yeatman again. Patty was elected captain and he is a wise choice for the place he is a natural leader and a great fighter. He is in the fighting from start to finish. With Pat nothing but the championship can be seen by the team. Patty is a good hitter and has a great throwing arm. His snappy throws turn back many would-be base stealers. He is all over the field, backing third and first on throws from the outfield. Stremmel will do the hurling. He is a coolheaded chap and an able pitcher. He is also a good hitter and in the Eden games he cracked a homer over the left fielderfs head. He has a nice curve and a fast one which will fool the opposition. The substitutes, Leach, Mason, Schact, Hannibal, Blankenmeister and Haueser, will step in to fill any gap. Others who may break into the game at any time are, Moslank, Webb, Williams and Trost. In her first league game, Yeatman was defeated by Cleveland by a score of 6f3. Yeatmanis defeat lay in her defensive weakness. A Mickeyu Farrell at shortstop was the only Yeatman infielder to display his regular form. He handled every chance clearly, and crashed out a single in four tries. Yeck and Harding were the leading hitters. Yeck poled out two doub- les in five attempts and Harding hit two singles out of three tries. Yeatman start- ed off well taking the lead in the third in- ning, when a run was pushed across. Stremmel singled, and after Harding's walk, ' Paddy, Albrecht crashed one through short to score Stremmel. ln the fifth, Yeatman tallied again on two errors on Stremmel and Schurr's grounder and Harding's single to center. The last run was scored in the seventh, when Schurr scored on Harding's single to right Yeck's two mighty doubles went for nought, as the first time he was left stranded, and caught at the plate on an unsuccessful squeeze-play on the other Stremmel pitched a good game, but the ragged support and a slight weakening near the finish cost the game. He fanned six and passed but one. f'Paddy Albrecht caught his usual dependable game. McKinley was the next foe and again Yeatman tasted bitter defeat, this time by a 9--3 score. While the McKinley pitch- er was nothing extra, the batters did not have on their batting clothes. Yeatman took the lead again in the first, when Al- brecht walked, stole second and completed the circuit on a wild throw. Thereafter ciphers were passed out by the McKinley- ites until the ninth, when Yeck tripled with two on and two out. Stremmel did not appear to be himself and was knocked in the sixth, when Engler relieved him. McKinley upset the Yeatmanites in the first inning with a bunting attack, pushing across four runs. Thereafter Yeatman played listless ball.

The response at the meeting held that evening was gratifying in that some one hundred and five aspirants to fame on the cinder-path showed up. The coach gave a brief talk in which he outlined what was expected of the boys. Mr. Lehr- mann also gave the boys some valuable pointers. The coach, with his usual habit of get- ting the boys into shape as soon as possible, started the gang to work at once. He as- signed the various classes to certain boys who have had more or less track exper- ience. The midgets were given to Wilson, the juniors, to Constanz and the seniors to Holland. Mr. Merrill has arranged a number of small meets to get the fellows accustomed to competition. Since the boys have not met in regular try-outs, as yet, I cannot say, positively who the best men are. However, a few naturally have shone out above the rest, and I shall say a little about them. The midgets, as the other two classes, are greatly in need of men. Of those who are out, Seegar is the only letter man. Naturally we look with assurance upon him. He can do almost anything in midget track. In the fifty yard dash, Earl Haginsiecker is doing quite well, while in the seventy-five, Matthew McCauley reigns supreme. In the Juniors, Simpson seems to have the fifty well in hand. Hartman is work- ing at the hundred, and Hatz is the star at two hundred and twenty yards. Hatz can also run a good quarter. McBryde, a let- ter man, is still a junior and with Fred Hageman forms the mainstay of our junior team. Mac is working on the hurdles and sprints. Winkler has been working on Page Sevenfy-Eighl the sticks also. Palmer and Buney have been furnishing competition for Mc- Bryde in practice dashes. Hageman is the outstanding star among the highjumpers. He taps the bar at the same height as our seniors. In the distance runs, 440 and 880, we have Beccard, Coyle, Walsh, Hol- land CJim's brotherj and a host of others. Beccard and Walsh seem to prefer the 440, while the other two cling to the 880. Bec- card has been doing quite well at both the 440 and 880. He is a glutton for work and any runner with that quality is sure to make good. In the 880 young Holland has shown pleasing results by trimming all the junior half-mile aspirants in a match race. Hatz is the brightest bro-ad-jump prospect. Phil Walton seems to be the on- ly one profoundly interested in the shot- put. In the pole-vault, there are entered Constanz, Lenz, Roberts, and Brooks. Constanz at present is showing up very well and if pre-season vaults mean any- thing, he ought to vault his way into a place at the big meet. The seniors present a very complex prob- lem to the coach. He has only about fif- teen of them when he should have over fif- ty. However, I will attempt to say some- thing of those who are out. In the sprints, 100 and 220, we have Lingner, Halloran, Rubinstein, Voss, and Ploeger. Lingner and Halloran favor the furlong, while Voss, Ploeger and Rubinstein are working at the century. Of these five mentioned, it is hard to pick stars as all are in need of train- ing. However, Voss, Lingner, and Ploeger are letter men, and consequently a bit more is expected of them. John Selejan and Roy Stebbins are the high-jump stars. Muchow and Bisbee Cof football famej are working at the hurdles. Muchow and Schliebe are trying for the broad-jump and if long legs mean anything to a jumper, these two ought, as Shakespeare C73 would Page Seven!-v .Yi 11 c gi ,, f, ..4.A. eff ff.'fff.211l.fff:f1If'If'fflffllC,f'fffff.L ', ',',' fluffflilf'i'f.'ff'.ff'fLf.'.ff ffl,.'.'f:f'.,fl'ZffIfff:fffffff..fff.f11fff,'A.f.i.f'1ffffff ..If f.fffLf.f'f:ff1llff,:lffLif..i:ji2 .',.... ,,.fff,,..,, say, knock-em-dead . Joe Cinciola and Wilson Yeck are our shot-putters. Both have the heft to heave the lead ball a mile Cslight exaggerationj. Lingner is the main-stay in the pole-vault. He is a hard worker and sure of a place in the inter- scholastic meet. At present, he is the best vaulter at Yeatman Kruese and Meyer are our 440 men. Both have been hard hit, but are still in need of better condition- ing. In the 880, James CJimmyj Holland has shown the most consistent running. He is out to add the senior 880 record to the two junior records he already holds. ln the mile, John Selejan has shown Well. He injured his ankle last year and it is the sincere hope of both the coach and the team that this will not impair his running this year. Roy Stebbins, who quit school for a few terms, has returned and is trying for the mile. lf the coach can induce Roy to train properly, he will surely have a win- ner. This Roy Stebbins' reputation is un- disputed among the distance runners of the city. He won the junior marathon of 1919, setting a record for the distance C25 milesj. Beyond those I have mentioned, a few more complete the track-team. Every evening the boys with the coach are out working with the greatest zeal. By means of the strenuous training, the coach will soon have the boys in excellent shape to win their meets. However, the con- T Q E Q gag E dition is not all that is necessary 5 - there is something else. .Wai To win a raize, an Hthieteh must Wi? --H , possess not ony exce en p yslca W 7' aff condition, but also a strong power of - X will and mental assurance.

Page Eighty , ...,.. 1 ,V,, TH H DEBAT1 NG TEA M ORREN KNAUER-FURLOW GALE A new line of activity has been brought forth at Yeatman during the past term. Public debating on a small scale has been inaugurated. Under the able direction of the English Six and Public Speaking teach- ers, a first team, consisting of Leianna Devlin, Fred Hagemann, Alfred Kratz, George Lowenguth, Russell Richardson, and Adam Rosenthal was organized. George Lowenguth was recruited from the ranks of the Sixth termers, while the remainder of the team is composed of au- gust Seniors and New Seniors. A second team, composed of lesser lights such as Leslie Drews, Ernest Fox, Furlow Gale, and Clyde Moore, was also organ- ized. There are other Sixes who have shown much promise and will make the grade in another term. All ten of our debaters are fighters from start to Hnish and can be expected to give the opposition plenty to worry about. Some of them have real talent, not only in organizing material, but in delivering it to the best advantage. The subject of the past term was, Re- solved: The Closed Shop Should Prevail in All Industries. Our first debate upon this subject came upon February 4th, The opposition was furnished by Clayton, who chose the affirmative, thereby having a strong emotional appeal on their side of the question. Our negatives, Hagemann and Kratz, went down with colors flying, after a stubborn and determined attack up- on the arguments advanced by Clayton's more experienced team. They lost, but were in no way disgraced. The general knowledge of facts possessed by Yeatman's boys was perhaps superior to that of the Clayton team. This condition was brought about, no doubt, through perfect har- mony prevailing in the ranks of Yeatman's affirmative and negative teams, who sev- eral times got together and threshed out the question thoroughly. The boys, though out to win, were hon- est enough with themselves to admit the truths brought out by their opponents. One of the judges, Mr. Faris Flint, gave the team a critical talk about 'tpunchw and polish, which they took very much to heart and expect to put into practice. The Clayton team had a very good style but our team hopes to develop in a term or two just as much fluency and ease of de- livery as Clayton now has. In December, Central forwarded us a challenge to a dual meet which we ac- cepted. We, however, wanted to make it a triangular meet and accordingly chal- lenged Cleveland. Soon after Cleveland had accepted, Central withdrew, to allow their public speakers to devote more of their time to speaking in the tax campaign. No date could be arranged with Cleveland for the same reasons and the dual debate was, therefore, indefinitely postponed, tho we may still send one of our teams to Cleveland. As the difficulties arose in the other schools this year, making it impos- sible for them to debate, we expect to be challenged by them next year. Debating has been a much neglected ac- tivity in interscholastic circles in the past few years, but we have no hesitation in predicting a banner season for it next year. Yeatman has always won more than her share of victories in all competition and no less is expected in debating. Let the younger students come out for the debating team and nothing can stop us. Here's a chance for the youngsters who cannot take part in athletic competi- tion. Make the most of it. lbzge E1 ghlj' - Our , 2 1 l. ..,.... .. .. .. ,.

Vivian Story Vice President ....... Frederick Scherman Secretary ..,.....,.........., Ida Dean Treasurer .,............... Clyde Moore At this meeting we decided to give the new members a party. Among the vari- ous means of entertainment, the most en- joyed was a mock trial given by the club. The story of the trial is as follows: Miss Prissy Prim, a teacher of Civics, had a wonderful class. She trusted them as only a teacher can trust students. She put them on their honor in examinations and was sure that they would do the right thing at all times. One evening following a five week's examination, she took out the pa- pers and, to her pained surprise, she found a pony stuck to E. Z. Mark's examination paper by a wad of gum. This boy was one of her best pupils and trusted above all others. Of course, she was hurt but felt that justice must be meted out, so imme- diately she secured a lawyer, the famous Clyde Moore. When E. Z. Mark was informed by the lawyer to appear in court on the charge that he had cheated, he also secured a law- yer, the noted woman lawyer, Vivian Sto- ry. The case came up and the evidence on both sides was strong. The counsel for the Plaintiff's witnesses were: Wood B. Swift, a suspicious character and the real cul- prit, Billy Bum, a loaferg Chilly Chaplin, and Miss Prim, the teacher. The witnesses for the Defendant were: Beda Tharn, the school vamp, Dinah Mite, Isa Darling- E. Z. Mark's sweetheart, and Sherlock Holmes, the star witness. The Counsel for the Plaintiff proved through his wit- Page Eighly- Two CLYDE MooRE nesses that E. Z. Mark had purchased a package of gum the day before the exam- ination, and that the defendant had been seen writing a pony. The Counsel for the Defendant proved that E. Z. Mark had never chewed gum in all his life and further proved through the testimony of Sherlock Holmes that he was not guilty. The great scientist proved that the piece of gum which stuck the pony to the examination paper could not possibly have been chewed by E. Z. Mark, because the teeth marks on the gum did not corre- spond with E. Z. Mark's teeth. The case was summed up and given over to the jury. After several tense moments, the jury returned and to the dismay of all present, gave the verdict that E. Z. Mark was guilty. The judge pronounced the ter- rible sentence of writing an examination every evening after school for the rest of his school life. Then, to the surprise of all, Billy Bum and Wood B. Swift, overcome with re- morse, confessed having committed this crime. Then followed ' the triumphant march of E. Z. Mark and his lawyer out of the courtroom. This was the first attempt of the club to do anything of this kind, and we are happy to say that our efforts met with suc- cess. After some delightful music and re- freshments of homemade cake and punch, we adjourned. Among the things the club has done per- taining to civics this term are attendance on a very good lecture on better homes, given under the auspices of the Retail Fur- niture Dealers' Association at the Odeon, from April 3rd to April 6th, and trips to public institutions. So you see we are a live organization. , .. . v.,.A A .

'lil-l lf HCI-I lthl ii CLUB E1-:WIN ANDERSON .1 Under the guidance of our mentor, Mr. Bell, we are nearing the close of our second successful term. Many of our charter members were lost through graduation but in place of these ge have obtained the following new mem- ers: Elroy Arndt, Charles Bisbee, Amy Claus, Rosemary D'Arcy, Leslie Drews, Robert Dunlap, Ruth Groppe, Jack Haem- merle, Alice Hagemeier, John Kappel, E- dyth Kleykamp, Loretta Kraft, George Lowenguth, Ethel Martin, Georgia Mc- Coy, Lee Mulvihill, Charles Scheitlin, Fay Daine, and George Voss. Of the original charter members the following are still members of the Club: E. Anderson H. Kruse M. Benson W. Niederlueke M. Carpenter A. Niemoeller O. Goehler H. Smith H. Klein Other members who did not have the honor of being charter members, but who joined the Club during the first term of its existance are: Margaret Allshouse, Olive Hayes, Louise Menke, Evelyn Niebruegge, Gerald Paul- ey, Louise Rapenus, Adam Rosenthal, Karl Schambacker, Adele Schwiete, and Dorothy Wilson. At the last meeting of the past term the Club selected the following officers for the current term: Hardin Smith-1President Louise Menke-Vice President Walter Niederlueke-Secretary Maurice Benson--Treasurer Erwin Anderson--'Lifei Correspondent Harry Kleinf-Sergeant-at-Arms Adam Rosenthal-Librarian Continuing our plan of last term, that of having members give lectures to the Club, we have enjoyed some very inter- esting and instructive talks. The first one on ' 'Foods was given by our mentor. It will be remembered by all the Hplump' ' ones because in it he outlined a method for reducing. The next talk was delivered by our President, Hardin Smith, on ' 'Iron and Steel' '. Unfortunately he was taken sick and could not complete his talk. Never- theless the part he did give was so inter- esting that we forgave our Hon. President. Mr. Bell completed the lecture. Miss Ol- ive Hayes gave the next talk. Her sub- ject was the Manufacture of Soap' '. She explained to her audience the physical and chemical processes. After a lapse of one week the Club heard a talk on Soda by Miss Louise Rapenus. She gave a com- plete description of the two common pro- cesses used in manufacturing soda. Besides hearing these lectures, the Club has made several trips to various manu- facturing houses. On March 15th the Club went to see the waterworks at Chain of Rocks. Here the members saw how the City 's water is pumped and purified. The next trip was made on March 29th to the United Drug Cols. plant. Every member agreed that the candy department was the best in the whole plant. On April 26th the Club took an automobile trip to the Na- tional Stamping and Enameling Co., Gran- nite City, lll. This excursion also proved very interesting. Now, as to what the A tChem Club real- ly does for the student. The purpose of the organization is to enlarge and supple- ment the knowledge of Chemistry gained in the classes. In addition, it gives the student experience in parliamentary drill and public speaking. Perhaps you have noticed that some of the students are wet ring a pin consisting of a gold retort with a blue enameled HY' ' on the bulb. Th s emblem signines that the wearer is a member of the Chem Club. If you are desirous to know more about the Club and its work, just ask the owner of one of these pins to tell you. Since the June graduation will deprive the club of many of its members, the re- maining ones extend to the students who have a knowledge of Chemistry or who in- tend to take it, a most hearty welcome to become members of the best organization at Yeatman.

Here we are again in the midst of another successful season in which we feel that we have been useful to the school. At our first meeting the following offi- cers were elected to guide our bark on an- other happy voyage. They are: President -Melbourne Stremmel Vice President Evelyn Niebrugge Treasurer -George Graham Secretary and Life Correspondent - - -f - - -Margaret Allshouse Thus with Miss Dussuchal, our direct- ress, and Lela Bunte, our pianist, we set forth on our tour with a song on our lips. On February ninth the faithful attend- ants of the club received their letters. They were: Marcella Oechsner, Grace Schonhorst, Ruth Willis, Clara Fick, Alice Crusius, Margaret Allshouse, Meta Vol- kening, Lela Bunte, Gladys Rowray, Hor- tense Nichols, Katherine Lawler, Violet Weiser, Louise Magoon, Roma Schaefer, Hildegarde Kemmler, Estelle Schmidt, Charles Weil, Donald Dowling, Cecil Richardson. For those who had done solo work, a star was added to their letter. They were: Marcella Oechsner, Meta Volkening, Lela Bunte, Gladys Rowray, Violet Weiser. On February fifteenth, Adam Rosenthal spoke in the auditorium and invited all students with a love for music, to come and help us carry on. Many have responded, and in consequence we have been forced to start Waiting lists. Early in March, the Choral Club started its service program by singing for Miss Randall's play for the benefit of the school library. Among the selections rendered were MacD0well's song, The Hymn of the Pilgrims , and several other old hymns. On the evening of March twenty-first, we helped boost the school tax by singing, The Sextette CLuciaD-, Donizetti, Pil- grim's Chorus CTannhauserD--, Wagner, and two tax songs. The audience was very generous in its applause of our efforts. We are especially fortunate in having a number of members whose artistic talents engaged them in many outside interests, such as choir work, orchestral practice, and elecution performances. Among them are: Lela Bunte, Clara Fick, Evelyn Nie- brugge, Katherine Lawler, Virgil Bowers, Melbourne Stremmel, Louise Magoon, and John Grunik. During the latter part of April the Club, represented by twenty of its members, will take part in the annual concert given at the City Club. We always look for- ward to this engagement for the good time we have and the good time the City Club members say we give them. Our early offering, this season, will be the performance of a Comic Opera given on the evening of June second, Swords and Scissors or f'Napoleon Caught Nap- ping . It is a Comic Military Millinery Opera which we know will please our many friends. Page Eighfy-Four af-I..

You needn't look for our pic- tures this time, for We were politely told by readers that when we appeared before we ooked like theological graduates. We are willing to admit that We look like graduates but before we appear again, we intend to wait until our study of science makes us look more scientific and less pious. Our club is not large, not because we are selfish, for we really would like to share our benefits and pleasures and fun with others, but we can't lasso people and make them sign the roll if they don't care for what we enjoy. We take this opportunity to announce that our policy has changed and that we are now convinced that girls are as scien- tific as boys and we would be glad to have their help in our researches. Come on, girls get in on the fun! We study he various sciences, photo- gaphy, Zoology, bacteriololgy, first aid and botany. On Saturdays, if the weather per- mits, we take a hike. To let you know what fun we have on these hikes, here is an account of a hike to Meremac Highlands: We started about half past seven and af- tera period of misery on the Manchester car, we arrived. We were quite adven- turous and descended a quarry wall with results disastrous to our clothes. One of the members heard a whistle and thought he had discovered a new kind of bird, but Miss McGinnis said it was a train whistle! Then we discovered a cave and started in, but broken bottles and snake holes halted us. However, since we have be- come somewhat more familiar with the out- doors and snakes, we feel more friendly toward them. We crossed a brookg several of the members falling in, and began ex- plorations. After collecting specimens of leaves and watching birds, we ate lunch. It was pretty good except for a few ashes which had adhered to the food. Now then, everyone come out and join and get in on this fun. 3 Page Eighly-Six ff .- QW 4 ' . fir! +J',, ., ' ., ,,,.,.,, ...X YEATM AN GYM C LU B FRED JANSSEN The Yeatman Gym Club is an organiza- tion composed of Yeatman boys whose ob- ject is to build strong bodies and good char- acters, to train the boys to be able to help in the gym classes, and to give opportun- ity for advanced work. These objects may be realized through persistent effort and companionship with the instructor and fel- low members. New members were taken this term if they had had previous experience in gym- nastic work in addition to the qualifica- tions mentioned. In the first week of February an election was held and the following officers were elected: President ............,.,. Oscar Schlebe Vice President ............ John Kraeger Secretary and Treasurer ......,............OrvilleHamelman Custodian ......,.,..... Donald Dowling Life Correspondent, ...., Fred Janssen During the term the following exhibi- tions were given: CHRISTMAS EXHIBITION: Parallel Bars by Picked Team. Wrestling by Reitz and Holland. Fencing by Bruns and Remaklus. Boxing by Norton and Scheitland. Weight-lifting by Owens and Egleston. Tumbling by Edwards and Bruns. FinalefPyramid by all. EXHIBITION FoR PATRoN's ASSOCIATION in behalf of the school tax: Exercises and vaulting over horse. Exercises on horizontal bar. Tableau. The exhibitions were enjoyed by all. The beautiful tableau was especially praised. Dr. Wolfner of the school board, and other well known speakers were present. In our instructor, Hans G. Lehrman, we have a man whose spirit of success has so fired the members of the club that his name will not be forgotten in Yeatman history. He is a bundle of nerves and pep. As Mr. Rathman, the Assistant Superintendent of Schools once said, People like Mr. Lehr- man and myself walk off below what we put on, on top. I take the opportnuty here to thank Dr. Gaueb in behalf of the club for his time, service, and helpful suggestions when we most needed them. Boys, come into the Gym Club! We feel that we are rendering you a human service by inducing you to join our club. The cost is extremely low, 351.60 per term cf twenty weeks. Five cents a week. Where else, if you please, can you receive such a big re- turn on your money? Join today! The law of compensation is ever active and you may influence some other boy in return for your benefit and achievements derived from our club. Page Eigbly-Suren X ag a gf :f'.fTf'f'l4l:'l,,1: ,' N '.

The club holds its meetings in the physics laboratory on Tuesday af- ternoons at 3:15. Our work consists of adiscussion of reg- ular business, followed by a report from the program committee. Then for the re- maining part of the time we have code practice. The report from the program committee is usually a lecture on some piece of ap- paratus which is used in radio telegraphy or telephony. The lecture on this instru- ment is generally divided into two parts: first, the construction, and second, its use and how it works. In order to obtain a license from the government to operate a sending set, one must be able to receive at least ten words a minute. This is an objective for which most amateurs strive. This speed can be attained only by steady practice and for this reason we include code practice in our activities. One of our members, Mr. Charles Schwarz, has already qualified for a government license by passing the exam- ination given by the radio inspector and he has received the official call signal 9 BUI. Several other members have nearly quali- fied and will take the government examin- ination soon. This includes tests of the applicants' knowledge of radio theory and practice. A set is being constructed by the club members which will enable us to hear con- certs, market reports, time signals, and other messages. The set is a regenerative type receiver with a detector and two stage Page Eighty-Eighl amplifier. A magnavox loud speaker has been purchased. When coupled to the set, it will make the signals audible throughout the Auditorium. As yet the club has not appeared in pub- lic, but we hope to give demonstrations in the near future. Part of our work for this term has been the instruction of several beginners as to the construction of simple sets, the part each instrument plays in the set, and where the materials can be obtained. Although the club has been in existence only two terms, we feel that we have accom- plished a great deal and expect to do even more next term. It is fitting that my last paragraph should be devoted to appreciation. Our officers deserve the highest praise for their interest and competency. To Mr. Mitch- ell We wish to express our gratitude for his co-operation and assistance. OFFICERS. President Charles J.

A. A. EVENTS. VIVIAN KIRKPATRICK. Oh, Alice, why didn't you come to the G. A. A. meeting? We made plans for the spiffiest party! A Gymnasium Party, if you please, and no dull moments allowed. There's going to be something doing clear down to the ' 'Home, Sweet, Home. My dear, don't tell me you don't belong! Do you really mean to say that you've finished two terms in Yeatman without finding out what fun and good friends you can find in the G. A. A? The afternoon walks alone are worth the dues, and if youive never had the pleasure of hiking along the road with your best friends, a ravenous appetite, and a cherished sand- wich, you can't begin to understand what you've missed. The Saturday morning hikes are the best of all, of course. Can't you imagine yourself away out in the country with a jolly crowd of girls, a crack- ling wood fire you've made yourself, and an unlimited supply of wieners and toasted marshmallows? This takes Wednesdays and a few Saturdays. If you are a real lover of sports, you will come down to the gym for some apparatus work on Tues- days. Do you know, I think the appara- tus squad work is the most interesting thing on this year's varied program. You see, there are so many of us, and we are all so determined to have a good time, that we are coming to consider it our weekly party. With Miss Krumiech for an in- structor, there is no danger of any tire- some, dragging lessons. We are all there for pleasure and work at the thing we like to do, and we get both. By the way, have you noticed the num- ber of girls out on the school field practic- ing for the Field Meet? I used to think that running, jumping, and hurdling were hard work, but since I've seen how disap- pointed the girls are if they lose a chance to practice, I've changed my mind. In fact, I'm getting so curious that I'm going to Pagf Ninety try it myself, and I hope that you and your friends will try it too. Since the weather has been so hot, haven't you, in the midst of a hard, dull lesson, dreamed of some cool swimming pool, with yourself in the center, floating lazily around, and an occasional exhilar- ating dive? Miss Lucy has charge of the swimming division this term, and they're always glad to welcome any new members. If you are not an expert swimmer, this is a good place to learn, and if you are expert, you will enjoy the swimming and diving contest at the end of the term. Hockey? Yes, we are going to play it next term again. No wonder you want to join, and get on one of the teams, for most of your friends are enthusiastic players. I want to give you a friendly warning. Get your name on the list early, for all the for- mer Reds and Blues want to play again, and many others, like you, want to get into the game. After it becomes too cold to play hockey, basketball teams will be or- ganized. Oh, excuse me, Alice. Of course, you want to know who the officers are, but it is like me to leave the most important thing till the last. Yes, your guess is right, for Geraldine Veness is the president. Roma Schaefer is vice-president, Bernice Ross- feld is the secretary, and Alice Davis takes our money. Did you know that the ad- visor for your own term, the third, is Em- ma Mulvihill? The first term advisor is Margaret Jordan, the second is Mary Con- don, and the Seniors have Frances Boyle. If the officers are good representatives of the club members, the club is one of the best, isn't it? Miss McQuiston has had charge of the club activities for some time, but she has been obliged, on account of an unfortunate illness, to give up the over- seeing of affairs, but we have been very fortunate in securing Miss Kelly's services. We are most grateful to her.

The Or- chestra got off to a good start by holding its first meeting on February 7, and elect- mg the following officers for the current term:- President. .,,,......,... Maurice Benson Vice President .... , ..... Andrew Clasquin Secretary ......,... Geraldine Williamson Treasurer. . ....,..... Walter Boeger Librarian, ,.........4 ....... E lmer Wolf Ass't Librarian ...... . .... Arthur Guntley Life Correspondent ,... James Shuhardt A person, casually glancing at the fore- going list, would receive the erroneous im- pression that the Orchestra is composed of boys. A more careful examination, how- ever, with a pause at the third name, will correct this delusion. Nevertheless, the orchestra is composed largely of boys this term. I cannot account for this, ex cept by supposing that there is not an abundance of musical talent among the girls of Yeat- man. Girls, do you accept this challenge? Nine boys and eight girls received letters for satisfactory attendence and work dur- Their names are:- Maurice Benson Andrew Clasquin ing the preceding term. Margaret Brewster Vinlta Buscher Dorothy Diestelhorst Adolph Friemel Edythe Jones Vernon Moore Antoinette Lester Pence Moczydlowska Albert Polunsky Willard Scott Martin Steitz Phil VValton The orchestra contributed to the success of Miss Randall's play given on March 2. From numerous ciomments that l heard, I am sure the students who were present that memorable afternoon went away feel- ing. that they had received full value for their money, not taking into consideration Dorthea Schneider Helen Walsh Geraldine Williamson the fact that the proceeds were to buy books for the Library. Our next public appearance occured on March 21, when we contributed our bit toward the success of the tax campaignw. Our part of the program was by no means the least applauded. Our most importance appearance Ito the Seniors! occured on March 31, when we played a march to make their Color Day a success in spite of the miserable, rainy day provided by Nature. The Seniors ex- pressed their appreciation by requesting us to come to their aid on their Flag Day, May 5. We acquiesced to their wishes and played for them on that date, with results just as pleasing as those on Color Day. The Hbig dayw, however, took place Friday evening, May 12. This was our annual concert. This was given under the auspices of the Patrons, association, and was coupled with the moving picture, tllulius Caesarw all of which helped to make the occasion the biggest hit of the season. As this annal is attaining a considerable length, I shall have to bring it to a close. Suffice to say, however, we are to play at the presentation of the Senior Play, UTwelfth Nightw, and we intend to make it an achievement worthy of the occasion. We can always use new members with talent, therefore, if you are laboring under the idea that you possess some of this usable talent, donyt let the idea get away from you, but go up to Mr. Birrls room, 208, and communicate with him. Quite recently the Board of Education decided to allow Mr. Birr to award credit to the mem- bers similar to that received by the Senior Music Class and under the same conditions. This should quicken the desire to be- come a member of the Yeatman High School Orchestra conducted by Mr. Birr.

Reenforced Two contractors, of a type unfortunate- ly too familiar, were talking of some build- ings which had collapsed before they were finished. ' 'Well, Billerton, said one, ' 'you al- ways have better luck than I do. Better luck? How's that? , Why, my row of new houses blew down in last week's wind, you know, while yours weren't harmed.

Begorra,f' said his neighbor, sympa- thetically, lt can't be very pleasant for either of you! -EX. The Trodden Path A Massachusetts man famed for his dry humor, never having taken a sea trip, con- ceived the idea one day of making a real voyage. Accordingly, he sailed from Bos- ton in a small schooner. The first day out a storm was encoun- tered and the old gentleman became vio- lently sick, but after several hours he mus- tered up courage and strenghth to look out upon the troubled waters. As he gazed from the side of the little vessel up the trough of the sea, it seemed very smooth to him. The captain's cutting of the waves was senseless, he felt sure. But as the mad steering continued, the unhappy passenger finally crawled out, on hands and knees, to where the captain stood at the wheel, and raising his voice above the din of waves and wind, shouted: Man, keep in the ruts, keep in the ruts.' --EX. An Eye to Business A little daughter of a Congresman was sitting one evening on her fatheris knee. She had a new little brother whom she re- garded with wonder, as children do regard the latest usurper before they have learned to love him. Today, said her father, a man offered to give me a whole roomful of gold for little brother. Shall I sell him'?' The child shook her head. But, said the father, think how many nice things a roomful of gold would buy! Don't you think I better let the man have him? No, answered the girl, thoughtfully, let,s keep him till he's older, he'll be worth more then. w Ex.

No Charge for Use of Our Chapel Near Enough One rainy afternoon, as a train from the East pulled up at a little station of a most depressing town in the fever-and-ague dis- trict of a Southwestern state, a passenger, thrusting his head out of a car window, asked of a dejected-looking man who was leaning against the station door Say, what do you call this measly, dreary, onery, low-down place?

LOUIS Local Pride - A Theatrical company which carried its own orchestra was playing in a small town of the Middle West, and as the theater in that town had an orchestra of its own, the two orchestras doubled up . At one point in the first performance a terrible discord was heard and the man- ager noticed that the local musicians were playing at least half a tone lower than the key maintained by the company's orches- tra. What's the matter? , whispered the manager to the local orchestra's leader. Your men are playing half a tone lower than the others! ' ' 'They are,' ' said the leader, ' :and let me tell you that's the only way we can let the audience know that we have two orches- tras.'

He was much put out and continued on his way, grumbling audi- bly. Early the next day a friend discovered the Irishman in the act of deliberately dropping a dollar down the same crack. The friend was, of course, much aston- ished, and inquired his reason for throw- ing away good money. Yisterday I was passin' this way, the Celt replied, Han' I lost a nickel down that hole. Now, I reasoned that it wasn't worth the trouble to pull up that sidewalk for a nickel, so I am dropping down the dollar to make it worth me while. fEx. F.

The men were fil- ing past and he watched them. They were tired out, but full of ginger. The day was just beginning to dawn, when we heard someone coming down the road talking at the top of his voice. He talked and laughed and laughed and talked, and the men were chattering and joking. Here come the negro soldiers, said Webb, and sure enough the Twenty-fifth Infantry came along. The man who was doing the talking was a six-foot corporal. He carried two guns and two cartridge belts loaded full, and the man to whom the extra gun belonged was limping along be- side him. The tall corporal was weighted down with his blanket and haversack, but in his arms he carried a dog, the mascot of his company. Here, corporal, said Webb, Hdidnlt you march all last night?' ' Yes, sir, said the corporal, trying to salute. And didn't you fight all day? ' 'Yes, Sir. And haven't you been marching ever since ten o'clock to-night? Yes, sir. Well, then, shouted Webb, what in thunder are you carrying that dog for?' ' Why, boss, the dog's tired, was the reply. Webb just rolled over in the dirt and laughed and cried like a boy.-EX.
