TANDX'--january, 1909 Oh, thou unseen, yet ever-seeming near, Spirit of noblest worth, constraining all, Now are we passing, ever to recall Glad hours and hopes, and lofty purpose clear, These our heritage, a treasure-store. These halls, thy chambers, we must leaveg but thou VVhich art, and yet art not apart from them, Shalt still be with us, ever to condemn All but the highest, ever to endow The hand with strength, the heart with kindliness. W'e bow our heads and pass. lYhat fate designs. VVe know not, but never can time bereave The mind of metnory, nor e'er deceive The faith that turns to worship at its shrines. Now sleep the years, gray artisans of gold. Since first the crucible received the ore, The fires have burned, and grown, and 1nore and more, The plastic substance, shaping to the mould, Has found itself-the cast will prove the die. 4 1 ,H 4 .-sr, YESEE LJE JAMES E. , YEATMAN FRANCIS TXIAURER-111116, 1926 AMES ERVVIN YEATMAN was born in Bedford County, Tennessee, August 27, 1818, of well-to-do par- t ents, who gave him an excellent education. He began life as a young man of fine attainments and superior business capacity. His earliest work was in an iron foundry in Cumberland, Tenn. In 1842 he came to St. Louis and opened a branch for a Nashville iron house. The remainder of his life he spent in St. Louis and during that period of almost sixty years here, he saw its growth from a frontier town of fewer than 20,000 inhabitants to a metro- politan city of nearly 600,000. ' ' is-sell Engaging in business as a commission merchant, he soon became prominent among his fellow citizens, not only for his energy and success as a business man, but for his active public spirit. His refined and gener- ous hospitality, his amiable and unselfish temper and his unvarying courtesy endeared him to all with whom he was brought in contact. He became identified with almost every public movement by which the public was affected and in the organizing and main- taining of nearly every one of its leading institutions. He was-one of the founders and the first president of the St. Louis Mer- cantile Library, organized in 1846, and to his humane spirit, untiring and self-denying efforts were largely due the establishment of some of the most important charities of the city, most notable of which are the Blind Girls' Home and Home for the Friendless for Aged VVomen. He was one of the in- corporators of the Bellefontaine Cemetery Association and was its president until his death. He was a director of VVashington University and a member of the board of trustees of the Henry Shaw bequest. Six The outbreak of the Civil XVar afforded Mr. Y eatman the most conspicuous oppor- tunity for the exercise of his noble and philanthropic qualities. A Southern man by birth, and the most indulgent of masters while slavery existed, he was outspoken in his devotionito the Union. He was one of the five men who organized the VV'estern Sanitary Commission, whose immense serv- ices to the Union cause and the comfort and relief which their labors afforded to thou- sands of sick and wounded Union soldiers are a part of the history of the war. He became president of this commission and during the war l1is devotion was an example of moral strength to the sanitary corps which he supervised. It was characteristic of him to insist upon extending the same care and treatment to the wounded Con- federate soldiers as toward Union men. Mr. Yeatman did not lose interest in the soldiers after the Civil NVarg he now be- came active in the establishment of institu- tions for their benefit. Because of this marked public spirit he was made the per- sonal confidant and advisor of many of the leading men of the country. The business career to which Mr. Yeat- man adapted himself, and his abilities and opportunities in this city might have easily made him one of the leading merchants and one of the richest residents. However, his interest in the city and its people was far too deep to permit him merely to make money. In fact, the income which came to his hands was scarcely there before the occasion for the gift to worthy objects made him poor again. Upon his death on the 7th day of July, 1901, he left no property except his library and a few hundred dollars in the bank. . ......,-.........-M.....N.......-..-.-..............,-..........-..4....................,....,-............ ..... ,...-. .,.,.....,.-.-...--..-.,...nw--..-m......,,-...-.-.....a..-............................... ....... ..,,Z Za,3,,f,, ,ff 5 .ms 1, -:.-:::'::-.':s::ri:':ra!.-:f:.r..:::.::.-:::-::.':x.:::::::.z-:.'::.-r::::::::m1:.-:t:r::::.1L':z '1 ,Ma ic, , 1, ,,. ,,,, .-5 I ,L .. ,,, a.. at L. ,,, ..,,-4.y.,a4f,. .fi it E -- x...

His long and stainless life has been illuminated by an active benevolence that is almost unmatched in the history of St. Louis, and his chari- ties throw a golden luster on the city of his adoption. In the light of such facts, the character of James E. Yeatman shines as an inspira- tion for right thought and true ideals? MR. YE.ATlVlAN'S DESK P. G. FIX--JLIHC, 1911 N V E ALL are interested in that which closely relates to the life of Mr. Yeatman. One of the interesting places closely associated with it is the libra1'y of Bellegarde, made famous by VVinston Churchill in the Crisis, Mr. Y eatman himself had this room built when he changed his residence from Belmont to Bellegarde. In it he practically lived, and it was from this room that he was buried. It was also here in quiet seclusion, that Mr. Yeatman passed many an hour busy with his most treasured things, his books and his desk. The room is practically the same today as in Mr. Yeatmans day, the chief difference is that the bookcases now stand empty, for their contents were, as we all know. willed by Mr. Yeatman at his death to VVashington University. The desk, too, is gone, for it fell into the pos- session of Mrs. Sturgeon, a relative of Mr. Yeatman, who shortly before her death gave the desk to Mr. Charles Hall, who had been closely connected with the family for a period exceeding thirty years. He still pos- sesses it, and as he well may, values it almost above everything. This desk gives some idea of the class of furniture the library contained, and also the wealth of Mr. Yeat- man, that wealth which later dwindled to comparatively nothing through its noble and generous distribution. W . .LSA '. '. -+1 As a whole, it is odd and antique in every respect. The first impression is that it is nothing more or less than a case of drawers one on top of another. Its arrangement may be better understood by comparing it to an ordinary roller top office desk. VV here the top of the office desk is are three spacious drawers the full length of the desk. Directly under these where the desk proper, or, table portion of the modern desk would be is what first appears to be one huge drawer. In this, however, one is mistaken, for upon touching a secret spring, the front of the supposed drawer falls to a level with the green moth-eaten felt covered bottom, re- vealing the desk proper. Behind this, taking the place of the pigeon holes, are small drawers, two on each side, faced with maple, and having brass knobs. Immediately under the table portion are three more drawers the full length of the desk, and yet more spa- cious than the upper three. The lower portion is much the same as the desk of today with a space for the feet in the middle. On each side of this are cabinets, the one on the right being arranged for journals, ledgers, etc., while the one on the left contains several d1'awers. Behind this foot space and somewhat inconveniently placed is an extra. double doored cabinet for magazines, periodicals, etc. The whole is locked and unlocked by the action of the secret spring mentioned above. Before leaving the desk, there is a strong temptation to sit where The Grand Old Man often sat.

These, however, contain nothing. Yes, there are some papers hidden away in one of the four small, maple-faced drawers. The first is a receipted bill rendered by Wood, Maude Sz Co., of St. Louis. to james E. Yeatman to the amount of S7 .61 for feed and burlap and dated April lst, 1870. The second is a letter, browned with age and somewhat torn, presumably from Manches- ter, England, and signed J. L. Dix. The contents cannot be here stated as the writer and several others have endeavored in vain to decipher them. This failure is due partly to the Hourishing and illegible hand in which it is written, and partly to the condition of the paper. Two articles only remain, but both tend to reveal another phase in Mr. Yeatman's character. The first clearly demonstrates the position Mr. Yeatman held as a public speaker. It is in the form of a letter and runs as follows: St. Louis International Industrial Exposition, Office S. VV. Corner Fourth X XV ash- ington Ave. St. Louis, Feby. 28th, 1873. james E. Yeatman, Dear Sir: The Directors of the Industrial Exposition have appointed a public meeting Eight to be held on Saturday evening lst. prox. in the Philharmonic I-Iall. We need your as- sistance in order to decide vascillating minds among our merchants who neither appreciate the object in view as a great public educator nor as a source of profit. It is almost im- possible to induce business men to set aside the current affairs for the advancement of this enteprise. VVill you not come up and hold us by your voice? Very respectfully, WI A. ICENDALL, Secy. The last article, a pamphlet, is a copy of the Plymouth Pulpit of Saturday, February 19, 1870, a weekly publication of sermons preached by Henry VVard Beecher, wherein the subject t'The Substance of Christianity is fully and ably discussed. Having -replaced these precious relics, one may rise with a feeling of gratitude and honor at having sat where so great a man has satg one who had filled the require- ment of Van Dyke in life's compass, one who had made his record true, one who has thought without confusion, clearlyg one who acted from honest motives purelyg and, as shown in the pamphlet, one who had trusted in God in heaven securely, for such a man was James E. Yeatman. g 1- .- 1. E -as -ta s, - .-',,, -1-'r'5'.i'.- -g.j.,.i :iii T, tif 52:1-2.2zzi.Ez1,?'i:.fc1i:fi, if as as - 1 . .4 , ,.. s . ., . .. ... - ..

Yeat1nan's life are pretty generally known, most people realize that he is best associated with our own city. St. Louis, although he was born in the South. Much has been written about his philanthropies and his good deeds, but when and where he has lived in St. Louis make just as interesting a story. Many of his houses. which he built after his own plans, are still standing with little or no alteration except the changes wrought by time. Mr. Yeatnian arrived in St. Louis from Nashville, Tennessee, in 1842, with a very large fortune in his possession. The first house where he took .up his residence was on Broadway, then.known as Fifth street, between Olive and Piiie. At that time, this was considered the most fashionable resi- dence section of town, and many of the old- est and most aristocratic families were living in that same block. However, Mr. Yeatman soon tired of liv- ing on Fifth street, and thought that he could build himself a better home. It was at this time that he undertook the building of three handsome stone houses, adjoining each other on Olive street between Eleventh and Twelfth. This affords a good illustration of how a city like St. Louis will grow in a few years, for then this situation was thought to be out in the country. These houses were known as Yeatrnan's Row, but they have long since been destroyed. To the center house of the Row, Mr. Yeatman moved his family from the house on Fifth street. This house was larger and better built than the other two, and had a fine parlor on the second floor with a large Hight of stairs leading up to it. There was also a peculiar thing about the yard of this house. He liked a large lawn and as living in Yeatman's Row would necessarily limit the yard, he annexed half of the back yard on each side of his own, thus making his lawn twice as large. VVith his large fortune he now proceeded to build and lit up one of the grandest resi- dences in St. Louis, his noted home, Bel- mont. When there were any distinguished visitors in St. Louis, they always wished to see Belmont. Since it was so widely noted, it merits considerable attention. It stands at 4111 North Eleventh street, then the old Bellefontaine Road, and is now occupied by Mrs. Eddy, who, although she is not related to the Yeatman family is on intimate terms with its members. It goes without saying that the house it- self was as beautiful as money and genius could make it. for Mr. Yeatman was famous for his open-handed use of money in build- ing his houses. But the way the surround- ings were arranged is interesting. The house is situated on a hill with a crescent-shaped driveway leading up to the front and out to the road again. VV hen visitors came to see Mr. Yeatman, they entered the first gate, pressing a bell which rang at the house. Wlieii they arrived at the house they were hospitably served with refreshments, and after their visit had been concluded, they d1'ove out by the other gate. The space bounded by the driveway and the road was a fine lawn shaded by a number of large old trees. Mr. Yeatman placed at intervals on the lawn pieces of Statuary which he had collected. Indeed, it is said that whenever he saw a fine piece of statu- ary, he could not resist buying it. The climax to this. beauty was the Hang- ing Gardens, an invention which Mr. Yeat- man worked out himself, and made possible by a natural depression in the land on one side of the property. This at first was ,Nine - --H .. 1 . n..i....g-.s.......: ....-w-F-L.: T -.....,.......-..........-.......-'-.,,.........-........ pu-.L ..JQ-6-vii-7-.-:Z.':-'S-Tf:3 3 f f fS.'23-'3ICL -:I:JQ:- ... 13 nothing more than a common sink-hole, but Mr. Y eatman drained it, and made a series of terraces with walks lying between. On these terraces he planted different species of flowers, and watered them by another of his inventions. In the meantime, Mr. Yeatman had been married twice. When Mrs. Yeatman this second wifej died, although she herself was a stepmother, she hated the thought of hav- ing a stepmother for her son. Therefore, Yeatman intrusted this son to Mrs. Mrs. Allen, a sister-in-law of Mr. Yeatman. Mrs. Allen earnestly entreated Mr. Yeatman to move with his family from Belmont to the Allen house. homestead, then only a small brick Mr. Yeatman, accustomed as he was to luxury and beautiful surroundings reluctantly complied with Mrs. Allen's re- quest, and moved to the brick house on the hill, known later in VV inston Churchill's Crisis as Bellegarde. The Allen homestead, standing at 1410 East Grand avenue, is now occupied by Mr. Sturgeon, whose wife was Mr. 'Yeatman's niece. It has few decorations on the ex- terior, the only noticeable one being an or- namental iron veranda on .the front. Al- though from a glance at the outside, one might think that this venerable house is ap- proaching the end of its usefulness, yet on the inside the spacious halls, stairs and rooms, still richly comfortable, recall vividly the artistic grandeur of fifty years ago. Here again Mr. Yeatman comes in for a share of the praise. W'hen he moved into the Allen house, he installed many improve- ments, among them the ornamental iron veranda mentioned before and also minor things, such as gas. But by far the most important of these improvements was the famous library, which he added to one side of the house, and in which he placed book- cases, extending from the floor to the ceil- ing. This old room has been changed to a certain extent, and the bookcases contain no books, for Mr. Yeatman at his death gave these to XN'ashington University, but Ten the large open fireplace, and even the carpet, remain unaltered. This library has in turn been the scene of joy and sorrow. It has seen evenings, when it was beautifully decorated for some ball given by Mr. Yeatman. It has seen many a happy young couple wedded. And it has also beheld many a sorrowful cere- mony at the funeral of some friend the family held dear. The series of weddings held here began with the marriage of Mr. Sturgeon to Miss Allen, which took place soon after the library had been completed by Mr. Yeatman, and the latest wedding was the marriage of Mr. Sturgeon's daughter to Mr. Green. VVinston Churchill was married here to Mabel Hallu. a niece of Mrs. Stur- geon. Then Mr. Yeatman himself was buried from this room, which had been so closely associated with so much that was happy and so much that was sad in his life. Mr. Yeatman practically lived at the Allen homestead after the death of his wife for the remainder of his life. It is true that he did live for a short time in Vandeventer Place, and then on Nifashington avenue, but he still continued his visits to the house on Grand avenue. He did not build houses for an investment, but for business purposes. Mr. Y eatman did build warehouses along the levee, for it will be remembered he was a commission merchant. When the Civil War broke out, he cast his lot with the North, for, although a Southerner by birth, he felt that the South was cutting its own throatu in such a war. And so to prove his loyalty he turned these warehouses over to the Union to be used for whatever was thought best. During a survey of the ground a short distance south of St. Louis by the Missouri Pacific Railroad Co., Mr. Yeatman noticed a tract of land which reminded him of the European Glencoe, and so he bought the land and named it after that beautiful valley in Scotland. It is erroneously thought by some that he built the house at Glencoe, ...f-H...---...,... ..,.. ,...,.....................,..-...vu-... .....,.,.,....-...,..-..,..,...,. .,... ........-....... .... 4 ......-....,........,...........,..,. .... ..-.........-.-.....,.....-,......-,.,,,, -- .5345 j,t5v .,.i-s-.V,,,:M y7az::'g:: :m::rr:l'::r3::a:L4.1.::1-m:z::4:::::T:'.'2.

This was not the case, although he did build a house for her brother, Mr. James A. Yeatman, on a part of this land. This house is of peculiar interest, for just at this time, Mr. Yeatman originated a scheme for the erecting of a house by using cement as the principal building ma- terial, which, of course, was then practically unheard of. To do this, Mr. Yeatman went to enormous expense in building a lime-kiln of his own, and in using the timber from his own land for the interior woodwork of the house. But Mr. Yeatman persevered, and the result was a handsome cement man- sion. . Wfhen, for business reasons, Mr. James A. Yeat1nan's property was sold, and the rest of Glencoe divided among Mr. Yeatmans children, Mrs. Carr decided to build on the share which fell to her. This was then al- most a wilderness, but she cleared the land and built the present existing Glencoe, which Mr. Yeatman often visited. Thus a study of Mr. Y eatman's homes re- veals another slde of his character. We see him a man who delighted in building and beautifying houses, a man who took keen pleasure in making his lawn and garden as beautiful as possible. But this was not for his own comfort alone. Best of all he was a man who was famous for his hospitality. just before he left Nashville, he entertained the whole legislature and their wives, and while he was in St. Louis, there was no one else so noted as a peerless host. Moreover on such occasions, he showed that he heartily appreciated a joke. -Once when he saw a young man sitting over a pan of powder, which in some way had been left under his chair, he could not resist the temptation to accidentally drop a lighted match in the pan. Mullanphy Hospital was the last edifice associated with Mr. Yeatman's life. Here he was taken to have a severe operation per- formed and here on july 7, 1901, he died. This ended the life of a man who was always ready to do good when occasion gave oppor- tunity, and who yet obtained all the pleasure from life that was possible. It was ever his wish that others should do likewise. : s ,w .00 ,m T lll Ill fl? :rar ' I Fr' ' Eleven - .,..........-.. ..N.. ......-,-..-......- 9, .fi xx 7 .......,...-.-...,1.....s....,......,,..,, ..,,.... m,....-...........-......,....,,...........,,.,.....,....,... ..,.. .. .... .,... ..

It seems almost a crime against educa- tion that such. an institution as the Yeatman High School' should ever be discontinued. Perhaps it is the price that must sometimes be paid in the educational history of a great and rapidly growing American city. - Twelve The Yeatman has now been in existence somewhat more than a fifth of a century. I can never forget the picture so deeply im- pressed upon my memory of the opening morning in September, 1904. The weeds were still high in the front yard, the build- ing was incompleteg workmen were ham- mering merrily and sawing in every part of the building, and the auditorium was filled with scadolding as the students and faculty came together for the first morning assembly, Everything was new. The building was new, the faculty new and strangers to each other. There were twenty-eight of them and they had been selected from all parts of the United States. They were new. not only to the Yeatman, but also to St. Louis. Only -l ' 'TS' ,,,,, s i'L ll 1', 1 , , ili ,ZL M -v two or three of them had ever taught in the city before. They were, however, the very salt of the earth, chosen with the utmost care and discrimination by Mr. Blewett and Mr. Soldan. The students who came that morn- ing were also for the most part without high school experience, new jay's, as the other students called them. A few came up from the second and third years of the course from Central High School, every one of whom seemed to be sorry that it was neces- sary for him to leave the Central and come to the Yeatman. Wforst of all, the Principal was himself the newest and rawest member of the whole organization, for it was not only my first experience in St. Louis, but also my very first experience of any sort in a public high school either as a teacher or as a student. It was my privilege to spend only one year at Yeatman, but as I look back upon that year through the experiences that have since come, I am convinced that no high school principal was ever called to serve under more favorable circumstances or in a hap- pier and more stimulating environment. W'hat has come to be so well and favor- ably known as the spirit of Yeatman was started on that first morning and before the year had passed was well under way. Taken all in all, it was one of the richest years of my professional experience and one of the happiest of my whole life. It was a joy to work with the boys and girls who came -to Yeatman from the splendid home life of North St. Louis, It seemed to me then and it seems to me now that no Hner body of young men and young women ever came together in any high school, public or pri- vate. No wonder that ideals worthy of St. Louis and of James E. Yeatman could be developed with such a body of students, with such a faculty as we had at Yeatman, and in such a school system as that of St. Louis, under the great leadership of Soldan, Blewett, and others who were associated with them in the work of administration and supervision. The success of Yeatman was also greatly promoted by the beautiful spirit and intelli- gent co-operation of, the principals and teachers of the elementary schools of North St. Louis, who sent their graduates to the Yeatman and also by the goodwill and cor- dial support of the principals and teachers of the Central and McKinley schools. It is too bad that Yeatman as a Senior High School must be discontinued, but I have faith to believe that the spirit of Yeatman and the influences set in motion there will never die.

'1 message to the Yeatman family of 1925 sets 111 rnotion a train of happy memories. The writer was a fortunate member of the small group who, in that far-away time of 1904, called themselves charter members. VVe regarded it as a rare privilege to be a Yeatmanite in those early years, and I be- lieve that the feeling came to be traditional. Something seemed to take hold of us, the intangible, invisible, but very real spirit of james E. Yeatman, whose influence was potent in the moulding of the new school. The privilege of working in such an atmos- phere gave us a new conception of our duties and our opportunities. Dear Yeatmanites: p gi: Q . Y. xjxi Q I It was the writer's privilege to know intimately and to work closely, shoulder to shoulder, with each Principal which the rapid changes brought to the school in the progress of its growth and expansion. It is a constant source of pride and satisfaction to me as a Yeatmanite to enroll among my list of warm personal friends the names of John VV. lVitl1ers, George Platt Knox, VVilliam M. Butler, and VVilbur N. Fuller. The honor of being chosen Principal of Y eatman in 1907-an honor too briefly enjoyed--gave me the right to confer upon myself the title of perpetual Yeatrnanitef' a title which the transferto another school could not take away. In the years that have intervened since 1909, early memories have not been effaced, nor the loyalties and in- spirations which still are mine. Fifteen Y...

E Dear Yeatmanites 2 ' For years I have been looking forward to a celebration of Y eatman's twenty-fifth an- niversary. I have pictured myself sitting on the Auditorium stage with other members of the pioneer faculty, looking venerable but not feeling so, recognizing the sons and daughters of my old friends and students through family resemblances, and beaming on every one out of the sheer happiness of being once more at Yeatman. Sixteen Now comes the news that no such cele- bration will ever be held. The news brings a real pang of regret to all of us who as students or teachers have shared in the happy life that was the glory of Y eatman. I have been fortunate in meeting Yeatman- ites in many places-Florida, Louisiana, Texas, California, and on the trains between -and the impression that remains after each meeting is that Yeatman is a vital tie that binds. Y eatman as a Senior High School may cease to exist, but we of the Yeatman family, wherever we go and whatever we do, will continue in our old loyalty to Yeatman ideals and will treasure happy Yeatman memories.

Mr. Butler spoke frequently of the com- radeship and loyalty of all its teachers who during the years had met each incoming group of students with unswerving devo- tion and had held them to high standards of scholarship. But even more often and if possible more affectionately did he speak of that great group of large sons and daughters who left the Yeatman each year to take part in the xvorldis affairs. During the war Mr. Butler was much touched by the devotion of all the pupils to their Junior Red Cross work, and with deep pathos and pride he spoke of the Yeatman men who there. In peace times Mr of the achievements and spoke of their standards. Nothing lost their lives over Butler was ever proud of his boys and girls, fine loyalty and high gave him more pleas- ure than to have one of these old boys or girls return for a visit to their Alma Mater. ' XVere he here now, he would urge each boy and girl who has been privileged to cross the threshold of the Yeatman High School to remember the fine traditions of the school, traditions created by generations of pupils, and to keep this spirit burning brightly long after the school itself has ceased to function.

FULLER Assistant Principal 1919-1923 Principal 1923-1926 Er-Y1'MAN HIGH SCHOOL! VVhat a beacon those words have been during the past twenty-one and one- ' ' half years for the youth of North Saint Louis! Thousands have realized their hopes by entering the school and hundreds accomplished their ambitions by graduation. The ideals and standards established un- der the wise direction of Y eatman's hrst principal and original faculty have been maintained unto the very end. and not only the school community but the entire City of Saint Louis has profited by attempting to live up to them. The members of the faculty who have served all or most of the years Eighteen that Yeatman has existed fully realize the great privilege and opportunity which has been theirs to create and maintain in the minds of those who have passed under their supervision the highest ideals of scholarship, leadership, character and service. It is with deep regret that we see the name of Yeatman High School fade from view. As the name of Yeatman fades into the after-glow of a well spent career. let us pledge once more our love to Yeatman High School and those unmeasurable things for which the name of Y eatman stands.

For the future my wish is that, although we may be lost as faculty and students in the larger school of which we expect soon to become a part, all the avenues leading to character building may be kept as wide open before our student body as they have ever been in the smaller school. :XLBERT H.

The question calls up many memories. not a few smiles, quite a few thrills, and perhaps some regrets. In spite of the fact that no student fwith ordinary luckj saw more than one-fifth of the twenty years' service that Yeatman High gave to St. Louis, and might have known from one-third to one-half of the faculty which staffed the school while he was there, the Yeatmanite feels that he knows the spirit and genius of his school and what it stood for as a whole. . But each student is not like a piece of furniture turned out by a factory, which goes through life unchanging except for wear. He is like a tree going out from a landscape gardener's nursery. He grows, and as he gets taller he sees farther, and he can look quite over roofs which formerly hemmed him in, and his new perspective is not like his old point of view. To see the Y eatman faculty, then, is to go back in spirit to oneself as a New Jay, coming up the steps from Palm street with a fear tugging at one's heart that the stern, blue-coated janitor has already locked up, and that alibis must be presented at the front door. Wihat was the faculty then? It was the Great Unknown. At grade school, each proud member of the graduat- ing class had had a little talk given him about how when he got to H'igh School he'd have to study hard instead of enjoying the rela- tive ease that had marked his course through the grades. Therefore these new taskmasters that were going to cram learn- ing down him so ,much faster and more furiouslyfwere the objects of rather anxious scrutiny at first. 'Time dispelled the fears for the average student, and the second period began. Twenty-two During the four years the faculty were individuals. VVe liked Miss So-and-So, Mr. So-and-So was easy, but Mr. So-and-So was a flunker and believe me you had to work. Our criticism of the teacher's mental equipment and ability to teach us was almost lacking. VV e accepted the ma- chine as we found it. If a teacher was a Mathematics teacher, we took it for granted that all was as it should be and if we failed to pass it was our own fault. The stu- dent's attention was on himself as regards passing in his work. The teacher's trial by fire was one of character. And then came graduation. Throughout the senior year the discipline of the faculty had been dissolving its iron chains and all of a sudden the student realized with a catch in his throat that these individuals whom he had been appraising so imper- sonally for four years had come to mean something to him as friends. No longer were they simply the rollers through which he as a plastic piece of raw material passed in the process of getting a machine-made education. They were People who had helped him, and he left the school with a distinct feeling that that help was now with- drawn. Some of the graduates passed on into col- lege. The high school life now lay far be- hind. A new machine with bigger gears and bearing received and humbled the haughty High School Senior. This was the lowest rung of the final ladder. And now began a new evaluation of the faculty of Yeatman. As before their hearts and characters were on trial, so now their men- tal ability came under the searching criti- cism of college methods. Had they pre- pared the Yeatmanite to cope with the prod- ucts of other High Schools in the same city? How did he stack up'in training :1r:.'..5:::.-:::::.a1:z-.: IF beside the boy from Iowa, the drawling down-easter with his dark blue blood and his Boston accent? How did he compare with the mask-faced honor student from China who stood next him in the college chemical lab? The testimony of a student with whom we talked is in point. I went from Yeat- man to a first class University known all over the world, said he. 1 took live courses the first year for a total of six- teen credits. The subject matter of three courses was entirely new to me. I'd never had anything like them before. In the other two, Yeatman stood my friend. I simply went to class and recited. My preparation had been so thorough that a short review in these two subjects brought me through and saved my time for the harder work. On the mental test the Yeatman faculty made good through the four years that fol- lowed. And some went into life from Yeatman -all finally arrived there. It was the pe- culiar experience of the classes in the neigh- borhood of 1913 and 1914 to be drawn into the Great llfar. Here, too, Yeatman played a strong hand. Two men met in a French town. One was bumping over a street torn up by ar- tillery in the side care of a motorcycle: the other was on the thirty-inch sidewalk. They greeted each other with a good deal of noise. One wore on his sleeve the insignia of a regimental bandg the other had on his collar the little castle of the engineers. Fol- low these boys back to Yeatman. The en- gineer took a Manual Training Course and the musician played in the orchestra. Qther forces went to make these men, but Yeat- man contributed directly to the abilities with which they served their country. And lastly, just life itself. Someone has said that the college yell of the School of Experience is silence, and its colors are black and blue. Many of the Yeatmanites are now old enough to know something at least about this fourth and greatest school. If the actual years at Yeatman brought an appreciation of the human quali- ties of certain iine spirits among the faculty that touched each student's life, and col- lege brought an appreciation of the high intellectual standard that Yeatman held up before its students, life has brought an ap- preciation of the true worth and character of the teachers job. This last is perhaps the last thing the faculty thought we'd un- derstand-and it was. Some of us have taught since then Sunday school classes of children to whom we explained the life of Christ, classes of enlisted men to whom we explained the Lewis gun, classes of sales- men to whom we explained salesmanship. And now we know. We know the energy that one voice must put forth to reach sixty ears. VVe know the disappointment of lay- ing iine things before pupils, things we believe in, whose beauty or usefulness we have enjoyed many times, and have those pupils question their utility, doubt their truth, or, worst of all, just stare like a fish -unconscious. We know that the machine that looked so well-oiled had its jars and its bitter personalities, and that the fire of bubbling kid spirits from the class was often not the only thing the teacher had to bear. And so as Yeatman goes out of existence and those who built it go elsewhere we, the student body, do not only say Thank you !', 'W e say, 'fCarry on! VVe understand! ,.

W'ell, that's us., Y ou're supposed generally to live up to a motto, arent you? That's why we took one that we just naturally obeyed without m11ch effort-at least on the part of some of us. First thing we had was the election of officers, a quick, and we hope, a satisfac- tory one. The wind howled with glee out- side while the class howled with determina- tion within. The choosing of the executive committee was a long and bloody battle out of which the three members staggered with relief. ' But Charley and Alby, our unanimously chosen P. and V. P., guided the campaign by extraordinary generalship, through a sea of troubles and naturally, by opposing ended them. VVe're now a fully officered senior class. Such relief! There now remained but work-such a small trifie that the officers celebrated its shallowness by a spread at the first meeting. There were no more spreads. The officers needed but one to awaken a childish idea of what work is really like. AYEE you havent guessed, and so L .1 ' Far up on a hill of tasks, Sat the ten workmen. They had but to dig away dirt In order to lessen them. Etc. Forty We aren't poets but this as an honest opinion of what we felt and being students we made use of our wide readings. The committees were settled first, then- the parties. The first one was a success, if we do say so ourselves. After about half an hour's ruler backnessf' the air was cleared by the entrance of a couple of Yeat- man's best and the dancing began. That wasn't half of it. VV e had ice-cream too, and those people who were especially hungry were given two portions. , A VVe forgot to tell you that we chose some colors and a motto and, after dispairingly hard work actually realized a song. It is pretty good. though, and ,course we're proud of it. We chose for our motto, Purpose, Energy, Perseverance which, you will notice spells, Pep and the colors are jade and Gold. Pretty? You bet! Caine the trying ordeal of color day with its white dress competition and neckftie race. The com- mittee for And. decoration couldn't agree, and so they disagreed and the Aud. wasn't much decorated. VV hat was there, was strik- ing. C It must be here noted that about this time the five weekers were looming before us and no Senior is responsible for his ac- tions at that time.j Everyone in school will agree to that. Isn't it funnyg they always do agree with a Senior? Color day came weeping in with a sore foot, finally, and it took all the combined, undampened efforts of our peppy bunch to make it feel as if the sun was bursting into radiance outside: you know. XV here there's a will-there's some money. So the party was gr-r-rand, and needless to say we parted more 'funited' than ever. Now, all these parties and unions aren't very interesting except to us. and so it has here been decided that too much is plenty and we will tell something worth while. m?wW . -. .-.s..-.-:,,...,,.....

Next semester teachers and pupils may be installed in Beaumont, and henceforth there may be no graduating class of Senior High School students going out from the old school. Beaumont is keen and all that, but still, though Y eatman's very small, it's the stu- dents all in all, and we love it. W'e, there- fore, the graduating class of Ian. l26 are the last seniors Yeatman will ever entertain. Isn't that, though, terrible in a way, a great honor? VVe feel it so and intend, having been students of Y eatman to continue in her morals and teachings throughout courses of our natural lives. . tSounds like a will, doesn't it?j Hurrah for YEATMAN ! ! ! !

SITE. OF OUR SCHOOL SUCILLE BRYAN-june, 1907 going hurriedly to and fro through .agar ou1 new school from one iecitation l to another, what the large area of land surrounding the school, which is now being so rapidly built up with new resi- dences, was in those days long ago when St. Louis was passing through the stages from a little French trading post, through the stirring times of the Civil VVar to its present condition? , The early history of St. Louis abounds in instances of sentiment and chivalry, and many an old family even to this day cher- ishes these bits of romance as a precious legacy. Among the great estates which made up St. Louis in about the year 1840, or rather the surrounding country, for? at that time St. Louis proper comprised only about ten square blocks down on the river front, was the Jesse Lindell estate, including almost one square mile south of what is now Natural Bridge Road and east of Grand Boulevard. The neighboring country, with a few ex- ceptions, was a thickly wooded wilderness and few people dreamed that the little town. which was known as SL Louis, near Kas- kaskiaf' would ever extend far enough west- ward to include this tract, which contained the site of our school. ID you ever stop to consider while Lo' ' ' i . , . . ' ' It was here that Jesse Lindell, one of St. Louis' most prominent men, built his home. Hecame of old Maryland stock, and when quite a young man traveled west to Stl Louis to join his elder brother, Peter, who had preceded him here in the year 1811 and who was engaged in mercantile transactions. Mr. Lindell was a benevolent, public-spirited gentleman with strong domestic tastes, and, because of his retiring disposition, he gave up his active business life and passed the rest of his days at his beautiful home. ' Forty-four The house itself stood at about what is now Greer and Glasgow avenues, and was surrounded by a large private park con- taining many small hills and undulations. The old mansion was a rambling, double, gray brick structure of the old colonial type with a high pillared porch in front facing what is now St. Louis avenue. lt had two wings, around which wide verandas ex- tended. A long, winding driveway led from the large gate to the entrance of the house, where it branched off and formed a grass plot on which a fountain played. This, casting its delicious coolness all about on warm summer days, together with the de- lightful shade of fine, old trees, made an inviting retreat. Around the house were the necessary out-houses, among which was a large ice-house, quite a luxury then, and the large and pretentious stables. Mr. Lin- dell was theiowner of many fine horses and carriages, and the whole establishment was fitted out as became a gentleman of leisure, taste and relinement with plentiful means. To the southwest of the house and not far from it was a natural well. On the left of the mansion was a grave, the head-stone of which bore an old French name and the date 1821. The woods to the northwest of the house contained, it is said, a natural cave of con- siderable size and a number of small ponds. Mr. Lindell was of a genial disposition and his doors were always hospitably open, not only to his large circle of friends, but also to the homeless. He was an especial friend of young people, who considered it a rare treat to be asked to the gay gatherings within the fine old home. He died during the cholera epidemic of 1858. L . During the Civil Vlfar the Lindell estate became a favorite camping ground for the Union soldiers. There was naturally an an- tagonistic feeling between the inmates of 5A3f,5f':' ' 4 tr N. -..v 6. jf- f L,F',I., 0 t ' : : .

This feeling was too often openly shown to make the old mansion an entirely safe and pleasant habitation during those days. Years passed, Mr. Lindell's hopes for St. Louis were not left unrealized. The en- croaching city, ever spreading westward, be- gan to disturb the quiet of the now deserted old mansion with the approaching rumble of its factories and work-shops. Gradually the old house fell into decay and, other houses springing up not far away, it shrank into itself, growing always older and grayer as though weariedof its new surroundings. It soon gained the reputation of being haunted, as all old unused houses will sooner or later, and nurses frightened their little charges with mysterious tales of the strange noises and lights seen by the few who dared to pass there after nightfall. A horse-car line was cut through the northern part of the tract and a small, cheap summer garden was built on the southeast corner, seeming almost to 'Ciesecrate the sacred memories and grandeur of the spot in bygone days. L --.-Q-........-.-- .--1-...A ' JL... N.. ' - , if--, -,,.........?1,, ,,-......,.:1-1 ,, W Y , Y Y , W, , Then the advancing city demanded that a street be made through the eastern end, and accordingly Glasgow 'avenue was cut through, leaving the old mansion, which had been built on a hill, standing on the edge of a steep embankment twenty-tive feet above the street. There it stood isolated and insecure until leveled when the grading of the street began. The large, open tract then became a favorite places for circuses and BuiTalo Billh shows to give their exhibitions. Upon the death of? its mistress, nowtfar advanced in years, the tract was divided among heirs, improved and sold into building lots as we see it today. . if Mr, Lindell's name must always stand in the front rank of the public-spirited men of early St. Louis, who, firmly believing in its future, did much to promote its growth and prosperity. ' The site of our school could scarcely be more happily ,.chosen, standing as it does on the spot where a man, who took such delight in all St. Louis' progress and such an in- terest in the young people about him, spent so large a part of his life.

From the large number of pupils who have entered Yeatman High School, it would seem reasonable to expect a goodly showing of successful men and women and a few dis- tinguished ones. It is true that only the earliest graduates have had time to achieve real careers, but it is gratifying to see how many former Yeatmanites have started them. VVe wish that we hack space to set down all the names of the men and women who are doing credit to old Yeatman. That, however, is out of the question, and so we are choosing only a few to show how many different fields our former students are en- livening. In journalism we have five of whom we at once think-four of them of local fame. Theodore Drewes, tennis champion in both school and municipal events, writes sport news -for the Stan Dent McSkimming as a High School boy began his work, on the Post-Dispatch sports staff and hacFen- viable trips with the baseball teams. His clear. well written articles are always good reading. Neil Brown's work has been com- mented in the Contributors' Column. Mildred Glutz Davidson has been conduct- ing the page of School and Boy Scouts news for the Globe-Democrat. Elizabeth Brewer, known to Yeatmans early students as Bessie Friedman, is a well-known contributor to the best magazines. In a recent article in Harper's she discusses ably the present stage' of the feminist movement in America. Wie have our representatives in the field of the arts. Morris Carnovsky has made a place for himself among the actors of the Theater Guild in New York. Gisella Loef- Her is well known to us all for her Post- Dispafrh Magazine covers. To, the fre- quenters of the Art Museum and the Artists' Guild, she is well known for her water colors. She has two small daughters, but she still finds time to turn out a quantity of Forty-six .I lsrrluzr work. Helen Beccard is teaching art at Mary Institute and illustrating stories. She has just finished many sketches to be used in a French grammar written by one of her colleagues. VVarren Ludwig is an instructor at the St. Louis School of Fine Arts. He is represented at the fall exhibition at the Artists' Guild by a capable portrait for which he has received a prize. In the allied field of architecture. Ray Leimlcuehler and George Magualo have both made good. The former is connected with the St. Louis firm of Mauran, Russell and Crowellg the latter, with a New York firm, Cross and Cross. In his hours outside strict b-usiness, he still makes his charming pencil sketches. VVith all the musical organizations at Yeatman, we could, of course, expect 'to hear of some successful musicians, and we do. Dolorosa Aich is making good sin her musical numbers on the professional vaude- ville stage. Raymond Koch of the big voice we all remember with such pleasure is well known to the country as a successful con- cert soloist. VVesley Becker, another en- thusiastic member of .the Choral Club, is highly thought of in local church choir cir- cles and is a prominent member of the Apollo Club. V Of doctors we have many. You C2111 in- dulge in almost any malady and be cured by a former Yeatmanite. Moreover. you may choose among chiropractors, osteopaths, regular physicians, and surgeons. Perhaps the one who has contributed most to re- search is Dr. .Alfred Goldman. His latest interesting contribution has been made in connection with Dr. Evart Graham's dis- coveries about the gall bladder. Among the bankers of the city, the name of Clarence Stewart is well known. for he is Assistant Federal Reserve Agent at the ,,.,. X f V 712 4?

A Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. Irving Lonergan is at the head of the Foreign Ex- change Department of the First National Bank. He is the President of the American Institute of Banking. Boris Stern has a field almost to himself, so far as we know. After taking his degree at Harvard, he pursued graduate work at Columbia University. From that institution he received a traveling fellowship, which he used in investigating labor conditions in Germany. In this work, he represented, not only Columbia University, but the United States Department of Labor, which pub- lished his findings in one of its bulletins. Among engineers, August Nolte has gone farthest afield. He is in government service in the Panama Canal Zone. August Koehler as safety engineer is trying to make at least Milwaukee safe foiz humanity. Ben Fisher took his degree in Engineering at the Uni- versity of Missouri. He is now with the General Electric Co. at Schenectady, New York. Law has many Yeatman representatives. Besides Cloyd La Porte. already mentioned in the Contributors' Column, there is Ewing La Porte, younger brother of Cloydls. He has a most successful practice in Pittsburgh, where he established himself after his short but important political career, Under the NVilson Administration. he was Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, the youngest the United States has ever had. August Brink- man, too. follows the law, and like Mr. La Porte, has also had his political experience. He has been a member of the state legisla- ture. Dan Bartlett is now a successful lawyer with the firm of Caulfield and Bart- lett. He has, in addition, made a name for himself as an actor of no little talent. He served overseas, and his dramatic talent came into good play when he was stationed with the army of occupation at -Coblenz. VV'e have among our women lawyers, Claris- sa Brockstedt Summers. After taking her Bachelor's and iXIaster's degrees at Bryn Mawr, she graduated from the XVashington University Law School. Business has given Charles Vlfelek a chance to become president of his concern, The Chas. VVelek Mercantile Co. Qliver Peters is the employment manager of the Peters Shoe Co. VV'esley Kleinschmidt is connected with the National Enameling and Stamping Co. In the closely allied field of finance, Carl Stifel and W'arren Brown are making them- selves felt. The latter is regional manager of a successful bpnd house. .ws - 4 In spite of our being land lubbers, the Navy is more efficient for three of our boys. Ralph Davison has won commendation in aeronautics. Stuart Bray and Ross Hillen- koetter pace the decks of ocean-going ships. In a class of five hundred, Ross stood sec- ond and further so distinguished himself in Spanish that on one important occasion he was chosen over natives as interpreter. The Army has at least one Yeatmanite- Richard VVightman. Until recently he has been ani instructor at VVest Point. and now is at Ft. Sill for special work. In the university and college world, we a number of capable representatives have with impressive degrees. Dr. Jessica Young is professor of astronomical mathematics at VVashington University. Dr. Allan Stearn is in the chemistry department of the Uni- versity of Missouri. Last year he spent in research at the famous Milliken Institute in Pasadena, where the latest news of the elec- tion is manufactured. Ruth Franklin, June 1919, is in the psy- chology department at the University of Illinois. Martha Parks was last year on the faculty of the Iowa State Agricultural Col- lege. but this year is teaching in an Alaskan Normal School. Hymen Ettlinger took his Ph.

YEATIVIAN CUSTOMS g HELEN M. E. BLf'rL1aR-vlamiary, 1926 EATMAN has many factors, 'both Egg, if large and small, that endear it to the hearts of its students and 1 ' 1 graduates. In the first place, there are the school colors and song. The colors, contrary to general belief, were chosen by the faculty members in 1904. So we have our faculty to thank for the blue and gold which we have eagerly waited until our seventh term to wear, and which our boys have honored in athletics. The Yeatman Loyal Song was written by Mr. George Platt Knox, the first assistant principal, in 1905. Being a graduate of Cornell, he wrote the words to the tune of one of the old songs of that school. He was especially fitted to write our song by virtue of his position as the leader of the Boys' Glee Club. The song which is always sung at -Commencement, the one which be- gins Our strong bands shall ne'er be brokenf, was Written by Elizabeth Stell- wagen's dad when he was connected with Yeatman. Then, there is a group of senior customs which differentiate the school. Color Day, on which the senior class presents its colors and its motto to the school, and Farewell Day, on which the seniors appear for the last time before the school as students, are Yeatmanls very own days. Flag Day, on which the seniors raise their banner on the school flag pole, was inaugu- rated by the faculty for the first class that ever was graduated from Yleatman. The faculty' realized that if the spirit of rivalry which usually exists between the younger students and the senior class were allowed to take root in Yeatman, it might result in the defacement of property around the school. Therefore, when Miss Margaret Glenn suggested that the seniors and the rest of the school should co-operate in the festival of the senior liag raising, the idea was immediately adopted. Yeatman is the only school which has this custom. In 1906 Mr. Knox inaugurated Memorial Day. On the twenty-ninth of May ever since, it has been customery for each student at Y eatman to bring a rose for the purpose of decorating the grave of Mr. Y eatman. Then, after appropriate services in the audi- torium, the officers of the senior class used to take all the fiowers out to Mr. Y eatman's resting place in Bellefontaine Cemetery. After the world war, the Yeatman boys who had paid the greatest possible price for world freedom were also honored on Memo- rial Day. Later, when Mr. Butler died, he too was included in these services. This is one of the Yeatman customs which im- presses itself indelibly on the memories of those who share in it. Yeatman High School never had a more impressive cere- mony than that which was held on its last Memorial Day. Another thing which is distinctly Yeat- man's own is the school ring, the first in the city. It was designed by Mr. Robert Kis- sack, then the head of our Manual Training Department. The class of June '07 was the one which had the die made, and they, on their graduation, presented the die to the school. Other things which have been given to the school by the graduating classes at various times are the trophy case in the first fioor corridor, a very good pic- ture of Longfellow, and several gifts of money to be used for any purpose that the principal saw fit. One class gave as a part- ing gift a sum of money for the purpose of starting a fund to put a better lighting system on the stage. -However, a sufficient amount was never raised to accomplish this worthy purpose.

They gave the first class play, and instead of any ordinary play they chose to have a version of Silas Marnern which they dramatized themselves. So the first Y eatman senior play was not only acted by the members of the class, but it was written and costumed by them. This was a very commendable undertaking and set a standard for a long succession of class plays. A unique Yeatman feature which was of very vital interest to the girls is Paradise Alley. Long ago when the school began, the powers that be decided to set off one part of the locker room where one might .move freely without counting time for every breath. This part, termed Paradise by the girls, was given over to' the Seniors, and it has been judged a great Senior privilege to have a locker in Paradise , Another feature which has made Yeat- man different is the Commencement Luncheon, always held right after the Com- mencement exercises. At this function the Seniors gathered with the faculty for the last time as a class. Perhaps they might not meet some of their classmates ever againg even so, they were able to keep the memory of their last class gathering for their entire lives. After the luncheon the class prophecy was given, and then, in a short while the Seniors went out of Yeat- man High School to travel separate roads and prove the truth or falsity of the proph- ecy. It was their loving leave-taking of the place which had been home to them, and in which they had been a part of a great family. I Above all these specific instances of Yeatmanls individuality stands one char- acteristic which accounts for all the rest. That is the spirit of co-operation among the Fifty students, among the members of the fac- ulty, and between the student body and the faculty, VVe may safely say that Yeatman has been one large family throughout its long career. The students have felt that they have loyal and true friends in the fac- ulty, and they have tried to show them that they appreciate all efforts that have been made to aid them. Perhaps we may account for this condition by the smallness of the school. No matter what the cause of the interest of the student body and the faculty in each other, we who have benefited by this close relationship are deeply grateful for it. Older students have not belittled the newcomers as they might have done. Teased them sometimes? Yes, but the fun never was malicious. It cannot be denied that the sight of an older student stopping his work in order to help a younger one has not been at all uncommon in Yeatman. We have worked together here, and work- ing has been a pleasure because 'iMany hands make light labor. lVhen We go to the new school, will it be possible to retain our spirit of co-operation and interest in the other fellow? You who are going to Beaumont in a short time, must, for your own good, make an effort to keep the atti- tude toward your fellow students and your teachers which you have unconsciously acquired. Let us continue to work for the common good, whether we move the place of our work or not. Let us carry on the ideals of loyalty and friendship and true helpfulness that we have learned in Yeatman, and let us make our lives as praiseworthy as that of the man for whom the school was named. Let us continue in the greatest character- istic which marks the students of Yeatman High School.

Yes, lights always go out at the first sound of taps, You've never heard taps,'i have you? It is a beautiful call. Once you've heard it you'll never forget it. The notes are long. mellow, and soul-stirring, especially to the soldier in camp. During the evening, the men have had their good times, some in camp, some out of camp, but before taps all must be back within the bounds. Many of those not already asleep are lying in their bunks thinking of home. Others are grouped here and there holding quiet little confabs dealing with past experiences, either true or fictitious, which soldiers so much enjoy. Still others are absorbed in extracting har- mony out of some ucroony melody. The whole camp presents an appearance of per- fect contentment and peace. Quiet, broken at intervals by a distant sentry's challenge, reigns over the whole camp. The groups of soldiers instinctively pitch their voices even lower. Suddenly, from headquarters, taps', sound. Do they break the silence? Not at all. The gradually ascending tones of the bugle till the night with a mellow sound and seem to be fused with the silence itself. Voices are hushed still more. The men in their hunks raise their heads the better to hear, while the sentries languidly watch the lights begin to go out one after another. The notes of the 'bugle rise and rise until the night is filled with their resonance. Then slowly they die away into the silence from which they came. Groups break up with bantering farewellsg heads drop back to hard pillowsg and silence is over all. Dear old taps'!-the good-night call when sweethearts' letters and photographs are put away and every soldier is oif for the Land of Nod.

A ' ON THE SUBJECT OF SUBJECTS Rona Sc1-Iixizrigu-jainiary, 192-l Q- 4 Xeatman know extctly uhit ther ,it 'ue going to be after graduation. sr' m Some think they do and, accord- ingly, proceed to narrow down their stud- ies, excluding all subjects which they think are not of immediate value to their chosen vocations. The attitude which so many stu- dents take, voiced in the sentiment, Oh, well, F11 leave out all the high-brow stuff like French and Latin and physiography. Fm going to be a contractor, anyway, is wrong, How does the average boy or girl of high school age know just what his best talents are? He may have some idea of things he likes, but very often he later dis- covers hidden ability which is brought out and developed only by this very study of 'i'high-brow. Too narrow specialization has a tendency to make one's mind equally nar- row, whereas a broad. general education gives one's mental development a wider scope. Some successful self-made business men argue against this kind of study, and the fact that they are able to make an exceedingly good living without the study of algebra or Latin seems to influence a great many students. Mr. Kresge may be able to sell hairpins cheaper than anyone else, but he could not do this if scientifically trained brains had not spent hours of research devising methods of cheap manu- facture. After all, the person who enjoys life to its fullest extent is the person who is interested in many things, because a man's mental horizon determines his view of life. If a l1'lZl1'l'S mind is trained in narrow chan- nels, his soul will naturally be bigoted and narrow, too. To revert to student methods of selecting studies, other students less sure of their vocations choose them merely because vari- ous subjects are easy. If only easy things are studied, how can the mind gain strength? To pamper one's mind is just as bad, if not XVONDER how many students at , e -L worse, than to pamper one's body. An ath- lete does not develop his muscles by lifting a feather several times a day, and neither can any brain matter be developed by taking subjects which require little or no concen- tration and work. Another reason which careless students give for their selection is that some friend is going to be in the same class. How can two minds have exactly the same needs? Each person is primarily an individual and must conduct himself accord- ingly in preparing for his life's work. An- other reason one hears very frequently is: Oh, if I take that, I'll get Miss X, and shejs terribly hardf' All this information is obtained by here say alone. This certain teacher may be just the one to awaken the latent ability in the student who avoids her because of the opinion of an entirely dif- ferent type of student. Neither the narrow nor the haphazard method is good. Every student should select his studies so that his course is a well rounded one that will lay a foundation for any vocation and begin fitting him for the society of worthwhile and cultured people. A well rounded course should contain, besides English, the study of some language, some science, some history, and mathematics. There is a very good reason for this. The human mind has three powers: imagination, reason, and observation. A student may have such unusual reasoning powers that mathematics or economics require little study. An active imagination may make the study of English a joy forever. Type- writing may develop the power of observa- tion, but it is hardly beneficial to the imag- ination. Students should consider that all three sides of the mind should be trained through all sorts of studies. A comparison may easily be made between mental and physical well being. All but the most igno- rant agree that the best diet for the human body is a mixed one, one that will supply Fifty -three .-.-...-,....... ,.,, . .. .,.. ,.... ....,.,.-.- .... ....-.-...... .... ....- ....,, .. ...-........W....,.....--................s...........4H....-.,.,......-. .....-....,...............,. .-1,1 -az: . 2-my fare- ' -sm. vw---it .

If high school stu- dents would only realize this and select their various studies with discrimination, thinking of the demands of the future. rather than those of the present moment! Perhaps, a few examples of Y eatman graduates will bring home the fact that one never knows what latent possibilities one may havef VVhen Ralph Davison started to Yeatman, I don't suppose he ever dreamed that he would one day be sent by the Navy as their airman to the North Pole. Nor did Ewing Laporte ever imagine that he would one clay be Assistant Secretary of the Treasury. The fields which Yeatman grad- uates have entered and succeeded in are. in- deed, varied. Gisella Loeffler and George Magualo have pictures in this year's Artists' Guild Exhibit. In the literary world, Eliza- beth Brewer, better known here as Bessie Friedman, has revolutionized the women,s page of a New York paper and now con- tributes to I-Iarper's and other good maga- zines. Some of these people may have had an idea of the vocations they were to follow, but I doubt if they could have said positively, I am going to do this or that by the time I am thirty. All these Yeatman graduates. it is interesting to note, took courses that gave them the broad, general education which helped them attain the mental poise and cultivation which only a broad training can give. These few exam- ples of Yeatman success in widely different fields illustrate my point. If only every student would remember and follow, Let knowledge grow from more to more, there would be fewer dissatisfied or disgruntled workers. .SONG OF Tl-IE. BANNER IRENE KRUMMEL-january, 1915 1.

COMMAS! COIVIMAS! , HERBERT RAUCH-June, l9l7 is ONG have I been wishing to meet Kg the man who invented commas! It is through hi1'h'that I have suffered A much during all of 1ny school days, but on one in particular. For our lesson that day, the teacher had 'assigned the rules for the comma. The previous afternoon and early evening, I had gone out to play ball, partly because I would rather play than study, and partly because I did not want to learn the first few rules. If I did, then I would have to learn them all. There were so many of them that I did not have the heart to tackle them. I had said to myself that I would get up early and study. I guess every boy knows how it goes. That morning, as usual, I had been too sleepy to get up early, but I hurried off to study at school. NVhen I got there, I found a lot of my friends playing foot-and-a-half and marbles. They invited me to play, too. My, but that yard looked fine, but I knew I had to learn those rules, so I started to go down to the basement. I sat down on a bench there, and opened my grammar. After I had been there a little while, I caught sight of Eve heads peeping around a corner. lYhen they noticed that I had seen them, there was a grand rush toward me, a short skirmish, and then when everything was quiet again. I was lying on the bench with three kids sitting on me and two of them taking my grammar away from me. Of course, I couldn't study from then on till the bell rang. any more W'hen it did ring, I went up to my room as scared as I could be, for that teacher was inex- orable. I-Iappily, that day it was my turn, with another boy, to clean the erasers, so we went down into the yard with them, I with my grammar under my coat. VV hen we got down into the yard, I sat down on a bench and began to look over my rules. I'd told my friend not to work too fast. Un- luckily, we had left one eraser in the room. The teacher took it and went to the window with the intention of throwing it down to us. When she did so, she saw me studying my grammar, but I did not know it. VV'hen we got back to the room and had sat down, she called on me to recite. I rose very slowly, looking at my feet. Then she began to ask me rules. She wanted to know how many commas one should put at the beginning of a sentence. I told her two. She asked how many to put at the end. I told her that the question mark took up so much space that one was enough. She asked me why we did not use commas in our speech. I was at a loss how to answer this. so I did not say a word. Then she told me to sit down, and wrote a big round oval in her book for all my exertion. After school, I looked all through the grammar, but I couldn't End any such rules. Now, I know. Wiell, here's to the man who invented the comma!

Then there floated over all this in a boyish voice, Hey, you! VVake up! I hurriedly dressed and ran downstairs, for it was the last day of my visit, and I was going fishing at the un- earthly hour of six with Leo, a farmer boy of about my own age. I had met him sev- eral weeks before, and we had become great friends. I rushed through a breakfast, which was noted for its abundance, rather than its quality. Then, snatching up my poles and outfit, I hurried out to the road. There was Leo in his fishing garb, a pair of water-soaked brogans, and a checked jumper. At one side, held by a strap around his shoulder, was a blood-stained knap-sack, which he used for carrying his corks and lines, and, on hunting expeditions, rabbits. Over his tangled brown hair was a broad, dilapidated, straw hat. His face was broad, frank, and much befreckled. He had intelli- gent features and a square chin. His eyes were blue, and on his face was a perpetual grin. 2-ji li Leo welcomed me in his frank manner, and we set off down the main street, passing the little bank 65,000 capitall, and Dr. Mosely's office, arriving then at the main corner. At the intersections of the two streets were the two saloons. Each had its own select group, who sat around the doors nearly all day long and talked politics, war and the various markets in which they were interested. They were all traders of one thing or other, cattle, lumber, railroad ties, gravel, or horses, and each one owned his own horse, than which he thought there was no superior. Perhaps the most select group was that to which old Doctor Mosely be- longed. He had a county wide fame, not F ifty-six U so much as a physician as a hunter. I-Ie had killed several bears, of which very few remained in the county. He annually col- lected a large bounty for wolf heads. In- deed, he was not only expert, but daring enough to go a little beyond the law in some cases. He had killed a turkey in closed season and would have gotten away with it, too, if one of the gossippy women had not seen him carrying it home in a bag. He was altogether the most important person in the town. He settled all disputes on politics, dog-tights, war, law, hunting, fishing and baseball, and was almost everybody's friend except that of a few old women, who wanted a city-doctor. However, they didn't count. VVe passed these groups and entered the one store the town boasted. It was the post office,-grocery, hardware and dry goods store, restaurant and ice cream parlor all in one. All this stock was in a rambling, old frame structure overlooking the railroad tracks. There I bought a few extra hooks at a price double that of the city. The road we now took led by Leo's home, a comfortable little place set back against a large rock, and completely shadowed by four large, overhanging oaks. As we passed, a large, grizzled dog silently joined us, ran ahead, and disappeared in the forest, which now lined each side of the road. The road, which was made of loose, dry gravel that slid from under foot, and jarred every bone of the body, twisted about, now almost at an angle of 45 degrees, now under several feet of cold creek water. Most frequently of all, it divided into several roads that like- wise twisted off, and sent the unwary trav- eler several miles out of his way before he met anybody to direct him. On our entire walk of live miles, we met no one. Finally, after that five miles of torture to me, but not to Leo, we arrived at the summit of the hill. -......-.,..,....,.,.-,.--..........-............W...-...f-........ ...-............,......,.. ...............,................,.......-.-...........----v:-.......................-.....M........-....,..... ..., ..,...,.-. ,A-,:, , , ,.x t ls: 1 . .2 1 as fx 2 l,Q . . . :g,, ,... ,Q trlv gif s:9:issv:.. za.

At that moment, I wished that I could live forever in this wonderful land of rocks and trees. W'e sat here for a while, eating our lunch- eon, as it was about nine o'clock, and in this brisk air an appetite springs up regu- larly about every four hours or so. Leo continually questioned me about the city, about the buildings, the people, the auto- mobiles, the roads, politics, baseball, a de- tailed account of the war. He listened with an open mouth to my account of the guns and material in the War. He could not believe that buildings could be built twenty stories in the air. The number of people in the city was too great for him even to imagine. He could not even fancy what a great mass of people would look like. He sat thinking for several moments and then said, I wish I had your chance and could live in the city, and a cloud settled on his face. But, then like magic it cleared and he said, But how could I get along without my hills, my squirrels and rabbits and, most of all, my home and my mother ? As if so to dismiss the idea, he got up and spun a rock through the air out of sight, and we heard it fall with a faint splash in the rippling river below. I Then I, too, got up, and we climbed down to the stream and fell to fishing. NN e waded out to the middle and cast with minnows. lVe caught several fine fellows in not more than five minutes, a large drum, a long, fighting blue cat, and an unusually large bass. As we were slowly wading up stream, I suddenly stepped into a hole and sank over my head in the water. As I struggled to the surface, I felt three fish, which were tied to a line at my belt, give a sudden jerk, then they were gone. I swam to shallow water and stood up. Leo was laughing heartily at me, but I didn't see the joke. Neither did he when he saw the loose string at my waist. He was utterly crestfallen, and he idly cast his minows about for sev- eral minutes, while I endeavored to recover 1ny pole and line. Then suddenly, his line snapped, and a beautiful bass jumped into the air securely fastened to his hook. Leos eyes shone and the end of his tongue was thrust out the corner of his mouth. He played with the fish until it was tired, and then, with hands skilled by years of con- stant fishing, he drew it to shallow water, and deftly landed it. It was a beautiful specimen. Its scales were of all the colors of the rainbow, and narrow, black stripes reached from its gills to the beginning of its broad, spreading tail. It was some thir- teen inches long, and almost a hand's breadth in thickness. As it l-ay flapping on the green moss, it looked as if it had sprung from one of those pictures of game fish in which the artist had painted the most beau- tiful fish he could imagine. VVhen it came time to stringing it by pushing a whittled stick through its gills, Leo seemed to feel the pain as if he were being hurt, instead of the fish. After this, we caught a good mess, and would have carried home a larger number, if it hadn't been for Leo. He was a true Sportsman, and threw back every fish he caught that was under four or five inches. As we were leaving, the dog, Bruce, who had so mysteriously joined us on the way out, now appeared again in the same un- expected fashion. He ran ahead. and sud- denly dashed into the forest. 'We walked on, carrying the fish in a basket, which Leo had fashioned from oak-leaves and twigs of the same tree. Bruce again reappeared. suddenly, in front of us, with a large, young rabbit in his mouth. This he undoubtedly had run down and killed. Leo patted him, and after promising the dog to give him his third portion, skinned and divided the rabbit. He roasted the pieces on an improvised sp-it and braces over a fire of dry drift wood, which kindled readily. I had never tasted such rabbit, but of all of us, Bruce was the most pleased. After eating his share, he Fifty-seven . .--...-.,............................... ...-....,.............. ,..-.......,.......-.....-..,,..,.....,..... ...... .,,.,.....,.......-..,,,,,,.,,.,.-..,. ,,, ,, , fl2w2.2.Tf.11' 2:f :rf-Fl?-ET113124114.H-r'rran::::,z:.::m11.-:-.':..::f:u1:x:::m.-m::::.v-.-:::.:.t' 1 'i ..., 1 -.-.....,-.-,.....,....................,.-...-..z-..,.,' came around and ate our rabbit bones, and was further satisfied by scraps of meat which Leo had carried for that purpose in his knapsack. We were sitting on a ledge which cropped out of the hill side. Leo was carefully-arranging his lines, and occa- sionally stroking Bruce's grizzled old head. It seemed that he and the dog were almost brothers. They were together every day. shared their meals, divided their spoils of game, and showed great affection for each other. After a while, we wandered on home, and after I had packed my grip and made preparations to depart, I strolled down to Leo's. I found him angrily correcting his younger brother, who had come home with a wild bird that he had captured when it was caught in a bush. Leo allowed the bird to escape, but reconciled his brother to his loss by offering his gun, a thing he valued next to Bruce, to go hunting with. He was very sorry to see me go, and Y--..,...- . - - . H 4 asked me to write to him some time. I wanted to give him something to remember me by, but I was afraid of hurting his feel- ing by giving him money, so I had -bought two boxes of the best grade shotgun shells for him, and intrusted them to his younger brother to give him on the following morn- ing. lVhen my train arrived, Leo was there. and. as usual, Bruce: I sat on the obser- vation platform and waved good-bye to my good friend. VVhen I saw him last, he was sitting on a truck with Bruce beside him. The train then dashed around a long curve. and I lay back in my chair and prepared for a tiresome tive-hour ride. I often wonder now, if ever, when Leo becomes older, he will leave his quiet home among the forests and rocks, and come to the big, ugly houses of the city, surrounded by other ugly houses and these all by still others-where there are no forests, no rivers or blue water, no rabbits, no squirrels.

They thought it was marvelous. They stood and watched the 1nan float around awhile. Wlien he wanted to come down, all he had to do was to let out the gas. Some trick! Consider the strides in the past twenty years. The Vlfright 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 important factor in the Great XV ar. 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 wonderful mechanical birds are going to be put. NV hen 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. W'e can let our imaginations run wild and still be pretty safe. ln 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 Skylark will prob- ably read: For rent, one strictly modern efficiency apartment, ten bathrooms. one living-room, carloric expert in building, ade- quate hangars for family planes. Then a modern family will rent the apart- ment. The living room will have as many beds as are needed to accommodate the family, all concealed in the walls, ceiling. and Hoor, and modestly sheathed in curtains, W'hen the family rises in the morning, the beds amble back to their hiding places, the family attire themselves within the curtains, which automatically disappear when not in use, and a table rises up out of tl1e atmos- phere. Oh, the apartment has everything, even automatic orange seeders Cprovided the caloric expert approvesj. Father will probably start out first. He will got out to the hangar, take out his utili- tarian, sable black plane Qequipped with wire wingsj and go down to the office, just two hundred miles away. Probably, the debutante daughter has an appointment with her modiste in Paris at ten o'clock, so at eight, she takes out her henna demon speed- ster fvanity case at steering wheelj to give herself time to take in the styles in New York as she goes through. Around four in the afternoon, the gro- cery man makes his rounds delivering the calories, guaranteed germless, for the eve- ning repastf' He never moves out of his plane, but with an automatic a1'm attach- ment hands out the supplies and he majes- tically moves on when this is done. The modern bungalow will be equipped with a hangar on the roof so when Mother wants to take the trusty family bus out for airing, she will just get into the elevator Qwarranted to go up most of the timej and ascend to the roof. A mornings shopping will be consummated with neatness and dispatch , for all stores will have airplane accommodations. It will be absolutely necessary to have traffic cops in the heavens. Nets will be suspended all over the terra firmaf' for, you know, accidents might happen, especially if mademoiselle becomes too much en- grossed adjusting her complexion, or an eloping couple become too much interested in-ah, watching the scenery. So it goes: out of the water, onto the earth, olf of the earth into the air. Inventive genius, long may it live and flourish!

NOEL STEARN-June, 1914 PROLOGUE Alas! the glorious dream of power and praise, For the all-powerful seniors, soon decays. However life is sweet to them those first few claysg For them the lotus taste of grand omnipotence delays The dark, clespairing thought of all the escorts they must raise In so few days! But when the seniors, wakened from their trance, Of real life begin to catch a glance, Behold, with fatal slogan in a body they advance, Each comely under-classman falls beneath their piercing glance, And is challenged thus, Ya goin' to th' dance F INVITATION One comely under-classman was waylaicl. The senior list was brought forth and displayed. Oh, yes. You'll take Miss So-and-so. F-he's very pleasant, don't you knowf' lifithout a word the trembling youth obeyed. I-Ie was dismayed. ACCEPTATION Just after school he met the pleasant maid. The color from his cheeks began to fade. Ah-e r-ahem-er-aw-you knowl I wonder if ah you'd er go l'd simply be be dee-lighted, sirf, she said. He turned and fled. PREPARATION T hat night he overhauled his Sunday clothes. The pitiful results increased his woes. llfis only collar was too smallg l-le couldn't button it at alll And what he said, no one will ever know. 'Tis better so. TREPIDATION An hour'too soon, before her house he paced, He simply coulcln't get his courage braced. Thrice he retreated, thrice returned, While in his heart blank terror burned. Again his weary footsteps he retraced. She must be faced!

Sixty-four EMBARKATION The terrible ordeal of meeting o'er, He simply had to wait an hour or more. When finally they reached the car The weather talk was played out, far, And he was sweating blood from every pore To be no bore. DES PERATION-LAMENTATION At last, when, much relieved, he reached the school, Another ordeal waited, far more cruel. Of programs he knew naught at all! Experience is bitter gall. He cursed himself for being such a mule- Infernal fool. HUMILIATION The first dance only augmented his woes. He just could not keep off his partner's toes. No matter where he put his feet, They always managed hers to 1neet! He weighed one hundred forty in his clothes. As she well knows. SEPARATIGN At last the gay festivities were o'er. VVith great relief he got her to her door. It took but half an hour to tell How she'd enjoyed herself so well - Rut then-then it threatened to begin to pour. She said no more. EXASPERATION The drenching torrent fell with steady roar. Down to the car-line, desperately he tore! The last owl car had just passed by! fiTis always so. I wonder why?j He wilted up against a post and swore. For he was sore. DILAPIDATION Two hours after, drenched clear to the skin, VVearily through the window he climbed in. His Sunday clothes were quite done forg And he, alas, could get no more! So he concluded dancing was a sini Always had been! CULMINATION Next morning he possessed an awful cold, VVhen out of bed at half-past nine he rolled. He got to school terribly late: But such is every poor chapis fate, NN ho tries thepractices of seniors old: So I've been told. ,,.,,,.,.NW,M,,-,N Illll, ,N ..,.............. ...,. ....-.....................,.........................................-..-............----..---.....-..........-.......................,.........-....,....

I'1l bet you a quarter interest J in an Eagle Stamp that you cant hi name all your aunts, uncles, first c cousins, second cousins-once re- moved, and your other relations to the fourth degree. If you can't, you'd better hurry up and learn their names or you may get into a bad pickle. Mum, Dad and I were coming from Port- land fthe lVestern onej on our way to Europe, where we were to take a good long trip. Vlfhen we passed through Chi- cago, we were to have dinner with Mum's Aunt Mary. VN' e were to leave Aunt Mary's for the station at about seven, for the New York train left at eight. As the train drew near Evanston, I sud- denly remembered that Grubby IfVhite fso called because, when he hit the line, he went so low that his nose almost rooted up the groundj, my college chum, lived there, and that Grubby had asked me -last june, as we were packing up, to visit him this sum- mer. f'Gee willikensf' thought I, here's my chance to give Grubb-y a little surprise party. I had just time to say to the folks, Say, I'm going to say 'hello' to Grubby. I'll meet you at Aunt Mary's. Then I grabbed my hat and sprinted for the vesti- bule. VVhen I got on the station platform, I looked for- a cab, to ride to the house. I-Iowever, I changed my mind very quickly, for I found that my wallet had either been lost or stolen, and that I had only a little loose change, seventy-nine cents, I believe. I then made inquiries how to reach my friend's house, found that it was not far from the station, and so took the shoe-line to it. I-Iowever, when I arrived there, it was only to turn around and hike for the Northwestern, for the family had gone away for the summer. I was just in time to miss the three o'clock train. After a wait of about an hour CI know it was that long, although the com- pany's clock made it only fifteen minutesj, the next train came along, and I piled on. We pulled into the Chicago station at four o'clock. ' As I stepped from the train, it suddenly dawned on me that I no more knew Aunt Mary's address than I knew who had been the first wife of the governor of Patagonia. I wasn't alarmed, though, for I had been led to believe that there are telephones, even in Chicago. Indeed, I knew there were two companies. I supposed that they had the habit of getting out directories. Accord- ingly, I strolled leisurely to the drug store in the station, and picked up the only tele- phone book there, the Bell, I think, or per- haps it was the Automatic. Anyway, when I was just about to open it, I remembered that I had no last name for Aunt Mary. So far as I knew, I never had seen Aunt Mary. I had heard of her a great deal, but one does not call his aunt by her last name, so I probably had hardly ever heard her final moniker. After racking my brains for several min- utes, I finally decided that it was either Aunt Mary Bandon and Aunt Cary Lander, or Aunt Mary Lander and Cary Bandon. To settle the question, I looked up both Mrs. Mary Bandon and Mrs, Mary Lander. Not finding either, I walked out, and Started up the street, looking for a store which possessed an Automatic, or, anyway, it was the other telephone book. I found one, all right, but that was as far as my success went. Then I remembered that Mum had said she was terribly deaf. Maybe she couldn't enjoy a telephone. I then recollected having seen a city directory in the first store, so, nothing daunted, I walked briskly back to it. I opened it, and looked for my names again. Great Scott! They were not there! Then it came to me that I heard Mum say a Sixty-five xx! ,-....,,,.,,,, A,,,,, ,4,,,....,. .,... ...-.-.....,..........,.., .... --. ...T V ,,--.,...........-.H,..-......

Yes, it couldn't have been .quite a year ago. for' Mum had received the letter the day I left home for college. Confound it! Evi- dently she hadn't been there long enough to have her name in any directory. I blew a jitney out of my hoard of fifty-four cents fthe other quarter had gone for train farej and called up the chief operator. The curious clerk probably heard something like this: Give me chief operator, please. Yes, I said chief operator. UI-Iello, is this the chief operat-Oh! I beg your pardon, I have the wrong number. Hello, chief operator? Hello, is there a person named Mrs. Mary Bandon or Lander who has a phone, but whose name is not in the book? You'll see ? No, I am not through. HI-Iello! There is not? Thank you. Good- bve. I then asked the clerk the way to the City I-Iall, for I thought that there I would be able to find some way of locating Aunt Mary. By this time, I decided that I had better get a move on, so I left the store and trotted over to the car line. After I had waited a long time, a car took a notion to come along. and I leaped on, without taking the formality of waiting for it to stop. VVhile the car seemed to have many troubles, I also had troubles, which eclipsed those of the car. I began to wonder what on earth I Should do if I could not locate Aunt Mary. Con- found it! If we missed that train, we would also miss the boat. Blamed careless of Dad, making such close connections, anyway. Wfhy on earth had I left all the arrange- ments about the trip to him? Ch, damn it, anyhow! VVhy'had I left myself iii such ignorance about the arrangements? I might have known that something unforeseen would occur! 'Why not give up going to Aunt Marys and meet the folks at the sta- tion? But even that was out of the question. lVere there not several stations in Chicago? Sixty-six Surely there were. I remembered that Grubby had told me so. Oh! why had I thought of visiting him at all! Confound Grubby! Blame him! Dod gast him! Dad swiz- Sitty I-Iawl, bellowed the conductor. I jumped off, and went up the steps of the building, cursing the whole blamed mud- dle, and praying that I'd get some track of Aunt Mary. From the first person I met, I inquired my way to the census office, thinking that it was the most likely place for information of the sort that I wanted. Bursting in, I asked the clerk, who seemed, to my fevered brain at least, to be covered with ink, Say! can I have a look at the census ? 'fVVell, you don't look like you'd throw vitriol on 'em, laughed he, but I guess you'll have to put up a deposit. I fished out my forty-four cents. It was not enoiih. However. when I pulled out my watch and added it to the pile, he de- cided, That will more than pay for any damage a poor harmless nut like you could do. Then I realizedthat the inky one had been joshing me. - Too much relieved at being able to get at the books to feel angry, I hurried into the rack room where the books were kept, so fast that Inky had not time to open the door for me. But my 'hopes were doomed to disappointment. There were no Landers in the book at all, and only one Bandon. Since his name was Algernon, and our fam- ily has always held to plain names, I was sure he was in no way connected with Aunt Mary. As I came out the clerk asked: What's the matter, old boy? I-Ie was one of those jokey. but at the same time sympa- thetic, people that one meets once in a while. lVho wants to know ? replied I crossly, for my disappointment had put my temper on edge. Ulf you couldn't find some namef' said he, unabashed, you ought to try the tax- soaker's office and the water department hang-out. Has the party moved into the city lately ? Yes, said I, hoping again. 1 ff!

But if he has property, you can trust the assessor to find him out. Say, if you'1l give me the party's name, I'll phone down and ask the assessor and the water department. I gave him the name, Mrs. Mary Bandon or Lander. I-Ie first tried to phone the water department. However, their line was busy. He then called up the assessor, and carried on a monologue like this: 'tHello, assessor's office? Have you the name, Mrs. Mary Lander or Bandon on your lists? No, I did not say Harry Sandy wanted to pay his taxes. I said, Is the name Mrs. Mary Lander or Bandon on your lists ? just a minute, I'll send the 1113.11 down. Good-bye. I departed when I heard him say he was going to send me down. I was in too much of a hurry to get the thing settled, to be polite. Assessor in room 306: water office. 3l6, he yelled after me good-naturedly. . After looking almost all through the third floor, I arrived at the assessor's office. The clerk in charge of the place was very old. I vaguely remember wondering how he ate anything except mush, for he had but one tooth. I asked him if I could see the tax lists. This brought down a homily from him about the sacred secrecy of the records. When he had gotten himself too much out of breath to talk any more, I said, XVill you please see if there is a Mrs. Mary Lander or Bandon on the lists ? Heh ? said he, putting his hand to his ear. Mrs Mary Bandon or Lander, I re- peated, much louder. Oh, Mrs. Mary Bander or Landon, said he. sort of satisfied with himself. f'No,,' shouted I, Mrs Mary Bandon or Landerf, Yes, I-Ie then turned to the records, and started to look up the name. Either there was something wrong with the records or with him, I don't know which, for he spent about half an hour looking up those two names, while I kept up a sort of undertone Greek chorus of Confound the luck, 'fHurry up, you grey-haired reprobatew Che was npt supposed to hear this , and many other such gentle expressions. And, blame it, all my waiting was in vain, for at last he turned to nie, smiled feebly, and said, Your lady with the many aliases has not her name down. Now, my boy- But I did not hear the rest of his spiel. I made a line-buck through the door, a long end-run down the corridor, a cut-in round the corner, and finally made a touch- down in the water department oiiice. A brisk, business-like young clerk came to- wards me. I What can I do for you P smiled he. VVill you please see if there is a lady named Mrs. rMary Bandon or Lander or your lists P Surely, After consulting the list a min- ute or two, I am sorry to say there is not. Good-day. And I was gone. p I dived into the marriage license office, which was next. Perhaps Aunt Mary had been married in Chicago. W'ithout think- ing that it would not help me to find her present address, I asked, Is there a license for a couple named Bandon or Lander P Whei1 were they married ? inquired the clerk. I dimly remembered having been down- town with Mum one day, when she got some sort of gold pin for Aunt Marys golden wedding, so I answered, Over fifty years. Then you can't find any records here. All the old books were destroyed by the Chicago Ere. Great Scott! I was desperate now. All ways of finding Aunt Mary seemed to have been tried. and it was now five-thirty. 1 got out of the office some way, I never knew how. The next office was marked Dog Licenses. I burst in, shouting as I came -towards the counter, Have you a license for a dog named Mrs. Mary Bandon or Lander? ' Sixty-seven ,..-............,.. ,... ..-...... ,,,.

I said, I guess so, abstractedly, and, when he had found no such license, rushed out of the office at full speed. The rest of my time at the City Hall was like the nightmare I had after we had the Welsh rarebit party, and piled pickles and ice cream on top of the main dish. I remember that I then howled so loud that ,Grubby threw his shoe at me, and spoiled our finest chromo. But to return to the City Hall. I ran from office to office with one question always at the tip of my tongue: Pardon me, have you any records that could help me find Mrs. Mary Bandon or Lander ? Each negative answer got me wilder. At the weight inspectors office, I was looked at so queerly by the clerks that I knew they thought there was nobody home, and I rushed out of the building without stopping at several of the offices. Once outside, the fresh air restored my senses somewhat, and I had the brilliant thought that perhaps the police might help me. l1Vhy hadn't I thought of that before? I jumped into a taxi standing at the curb, yelled, Central Police Station, and slammed the door. The driver cranked up and off we went. On the way, I happened to put my hand into my pocket, felt my money, and suddenly remembered that I had only forty-four cents. I gloomily thought how I would have to spend it all on taxi fares fthe meter already read thirty-six centsj, probably without finding Aunt Mary, and have to spend the night, and goodness only knew how many more nights, on a park bench. Or, perhapsf, thought I. thanks to my 'adjective' carelessness, since I shall spend more coin than I possess, I may be sued, put in the coop, or what not. Good Lord! I must find Aunt Mary. Once at the station, I sprang 'from the car, shouted Wait, raced through the door, and panted to the desk-sergeant, Offi- Sixty-eight cer, where is Mrs. Mary Bandon or Lander?'l VVhat's she in for? queried he. Oh, she's not under arrest, said I, but I can't find her. When did you see her last ? asked the sergeant in a very official manner, prepar- ing to note down my answer in his book. Never, I replied, but I don't see what good this'll do. Then what're you reporting it for ? said he. See here, -officer, protested I, realizing that he thought my venerable great-aunt was a criminal or deserter, I've come to town to see this lady. I canit find her address, and I've come to see if you can't help me. Fm afraid I can't, sir, but have you tried the City Hall ? Yes, said I, and, racing out, threw back, Sorry to have bothered you. IV hen I reached the pavement, I stopped, and began to mutter over the places I had visited, to see if I had omitted any. Then the chauffeur spoke: 'iIf yez is makin' a visit to de city buildings, sorr, Oi'll make yez a speshul rate, and show yez thim all- the sanitarium, the librey, the morg, and the whole kaboosh-all fer two bucks. I declined this offer, but his list set me to thinking. I thought them all over, to see if they would have any records to help me in my search. The morgue-that was where they took the unclaimed dead. Wouldn't they keep some sort of a list of the dead there? Had anyone near to Aunt Mary died lately. Had not Mum said that we were going to see Aunt Maiy, and yet had not both Aunt Mary and her husband moved to Chicago? Great Czesar's ghost! Last Christmas the family had been talking over how hard the loss of Uncle-Uncle- Uncle Zach, yes, surely Uncle Zach-would be on Aunt Mary. But Uncle Zach's name surely coulcln't be at the morgue! Where would the records be? At the City Hall, of course. That office, curse the luck, must have been one of those I skipped.

But, when we got there, the fool joint had closed sixteen minutes before, at six o'clock, and the death rec- ords were barred to me. 'fDriver, where can I find the death rec- ords ? said I, coming back from my trial of the doors. Sure, sorr, at the City Hall, answered he in a superior manner. Anywhere else ? yelled I, frenzied at the poor boob's stupidity. Well, sorr, you might find some iv thim at the morgf' Nowhere else ? The undertoikers kape a list fur their biznessf' Then drive to one of them, I ordered. . Pat CI guess that was his namej drove as blidden, though I'm sure he didn't drive to t e nearest. The man in charge was quite courteous. After I had requested him to let me see the death notices for the last December, he took me into his back room, and gave me a coffin-case to sit on, dusting oif the top with what looked like a soiled shroud. I-Ie then brought out a large book. I opened it and read: December lst: Abbott, Julius-Beloved husband of Kate Abbott Cnee Murphyji. and our dear father, uncle, and cousin, at the age ofi judas Priest, said I to myself, this'll never do. It'll take me to Kingdom Come to read all the obituaries. I must read just the headlines. I then went on down the list: Arlington, Kateg Banter, Frankg Berry, Charles, and so on. I finally struck Decem- ber 17th. Here I read: Atford, Caroline: Bent, Mary, and then Billton, Zachariasf' Then, in a Hash, I suddenly remembered that it was Aunt Mary Billton, Aunt Cary Bandon, and Aunt Sarah Lander. After taking down the address, I slammed the book shut, thanked the undertaker hastily, and sprinted for my taxi, I hurriedly gave the chauiteur the address, told him he would get double pay if he got there in iifteen minutes, and made a sort of fancy dive into the tonneau. It was some ride. Pat swung round the corners so that the floor of the car sloped like the short ends of an indoor running track. Policemen hollered after us in vain. One even used his gun, but all he did was to shoot out a street lamp. Finally, at seven-twenty, we stopped in front of Aunt Mary's home. The folks must have been waiting for me at the door, for they came out at once. Mum and Aunt Mary looked very much relieved. Dad looked relieved, too, at first, but then he began to get angry. Have you ever noticed how, after people have worried about you, and you havenit come to grief, after all, they begin to get furious at you? . You graceless young reprobate ! stormed he, what do you mean, making your mother worry herself almost sick, spoiling most of our visit, and perhaps making us miss the train? VVhat have you been doing all this time? Examining some of the city buildings, said I, meekly. Dad, can you give me S7 .99 to pay the man off? I've lost my wallet. Pay him olf, nothing, snorted my father, we'll need the machine to get to the station on time, thanks to you! To finish briefly, we made the train, and also the boat. We had a very pleasant trip, but my father never quite forgave me my, as he thought, gadaboutings in Chicago. I had to take it all, for both Mum and Dad would have been terribly hurt at my not knowing all about the relatives. Upon further thought, I would suggest that in addition to learning the names and addresses of all your relatives, you had bet- ter keep an alphabetical list of them in your coat pocket, even if it does produce an un- sightly hump.

TRAIL CLOYD L.xr'oR'rE-june, 1912 A IDDEN in the deep recesses of one of our western mountain ranges rlows a river of melting snows, whose waters dash wild and turbid from rock to rock at the bottom of a deep canyon. The stream becomes a torrent in the height of the summer, when the sultry sun liberates the water from its milk-white prison of a winter's accumulationg but at this particular point, where it cuts its way through a mountain of stone, it pursues its course unseen and unappreciated, save as far as the sound of its flow is echoed by the neighboring hollows and carried to in- frequent travelers on the road a thousand feet above. -5 fl: .., -ga: 'k . pi '-E ,g h- Years ago, before the railroad came, be- fore the Eastern capitalist laid hold of its beauties and dispelled its fairy enchantment with the smoke of a locomotive, the grind of turning wheels and the prose of a trail of iron, it was a picturesque spot indeed. Half way up the side of the canyon a narrow and rough road clung, hugging the wall of rocks and earth above, as if afraid that a too reckless attempt to see to the bottom of the corroding stream below would lead to a sudden and disastrous end. It looked across the gorge to a range of peaks and raviues rising into the azure above or sink- ing far below it to form a nest of echoes eager to catch any unusual sound and trans- mit it in endless reverberations and dying sighs. The Indians used to pray to the mys- terious sounds and old settlers revered them. It is said that when the conditions are right one can hear a peculiar weird sigh, which the winds carry from no apparent source to the echoes in the hills. Dusk is said to be the best time on a fine summer evening, and you must listen well or you may be disap- pointed. l The trail which wound along its edge and slipped down into gulches and surmountecl vexatious buttes in its path was so narrow that but one wagon and that with difficulty could follow it. It was not long, and not a common place of travel for it was used in those days only by Indians and an occasional prospector seeking a more fruitful location in which to pursue his labors. The road was partly natural and partly made by the blasting of pioneers who saw in it the only available way to cross the range. So spar- ing had they been of their time and gun- powder that in one spot only had they pro- vided a place Wide enough to admit two travelers passing. What would be the re- sult if two wagons met on the narrow path? Backing along that rolling cliff was an im- possibility. we shall not try to conjecture the outcome. It is not necessaryg the trail is gone and in its place a broad and smooth roadbed. But it was different then, oh. so different l A score of years ago-but still within the memory of the present generation-a bent old man halted a decrepit. nondescript team at the entrance of the path at the foot of the ascent. and led them to the edge of the rushing river to slake their thirst. XVhile their noses were plunged deeply in the cold water and they greedily drank their fill, the old man, a few yards farther up, moistened his parched lips also. Rising slowly and a trifle stiffly he led the team back to a rickety wagon and again made them fast. Did ye drink' well, old fellows? he mur- mured, patting the old mule and burying his head in the mane of the blind outside horse. It's a good thing 'cause it's hot and no water till morning. You and me won't be travelin' this road again, Buck. XV hen we strike that gold on the other side of the Needles, what we've been hearin' about, we won't need to work no more.

You an' me's been together long enough. You and Jack's all I got now, I've lost it all, except you two. Let's start up the trail and get through with it. C011- He ran ahead a short distance and lay flat on the ground with his ear to the rocky surface, listening with all the intent of which his failing senses were capable. Then he returned to the wagon, after a thoughtful look and gave the starting command. The crazy vehicle, carrying a simple camp outfit and a kit of prospector's tools, moved slowly up the mountain through the length of the sultry afternoon. The load was light, but the team pulled hard and toiled pain- fully, urged by a sympathetic voice from the seat. That voice was not strong, for its hermit owner, known as The Old Man of the Mountains, had long passed the period of vocal vigor. He was old enough to cross a greater divide than the one he was then upon, to undertake a different trail and a longer journey. At the single wide place, designed for meetings with travelers, he again halted, listened and finally pushed on. He had gone some distance before he noticed the pricking up of the horse's ears which, since he was deprived of sight, were especially keen. The old man's partial deaf- ness had precluded any faint sounds which might have been caught by the animal. At first he gave the horse's actions no par- ticular attention, ,attributing them to the strange echoes he believed the spot to be infected with, but the horse persisted in showing so much interest in the distance ahead that he stopped and listened. A minute-no sound 5-two minutes-no soundg the third minute-and the man's heart stood still. He gave a nervous, sup- pressed cry and crawled along the tongue Seventy-two between the horse and mule and leaped wildly to the ground. He placed his ear against the earth and listened, hoping to disprove the verdict of senses. This time he heard a faint, yet certain rumbling as- oh, horrible thought-of a wagon. For a moment he stood still and looked with wild eyes in every direction as if seek- ing an escape he knew was not in existence. Then he buried his head once more in the blind horse's mane and let fall a tear, a dry, poverty-stricken tear from wrinkled and moistureless eyes. Climbing back into the wagon he again started the team, and ad- vanced to meet the terror ahead. Down small knobs and vales of rough road they toiled with the steep mountain towering over their left and the infathom- able depth of the river channel at their immediate right. As they advanced the sound grew louder and soon became recog- nized as that of pounding hoof-beats and turning wheels. The team picked its way down a rocky hill, bearing back on the breeching and running at the bottom to start up a short but -steep ascent. They tugged and strained and tore out small stones which rolled over the side and fell into the water far below with a faintly audible splash. Up the hill, they came out on a short level stretch and revealed to the man's eyes a heavy team of handsome blacks, drawing a heavier load faster and easier. The two teams stopped. ' Hello, ther l came a rough voice behind the blacks. From what scrap heap did ye get that pile o' junk? Did you just come back from the bone-yard ? There was no reply and the two men climbed out along the wagon tongues and met for a consultation. There could have been no greater contrast all around. The one team large, handsome and spiritedg the other decrepit and weak, one wagon and harness new and bright, the other dilapi- dated, worn and eked out with baling wire. The difference between the two men, one lf? -g.....--- ........................-....,.f..s, f I.aa...........-.a.a-....xaa. is -. , H-M--3: ..a.......,a.........-...... ,,.:?:3?3.fiii t:i2vMiZ'3jj'.'.Q f- f1 '1:.g.i?.::z- f :1.':zrr.1.:a4:.:-:::r?-::':'-1:?-::.v:--, .--..,..- :A-:.'.:.'::::'-1' 4... .. , .'

VVhy, it's old Rocky Mountain Joe! exclaimed the owner of the blacks. Put her ther, old skate. Going over to look for gold? No use. Nothin' doin'. I just been over there. You'd better come back with me. ' Come back with you? Tl1e old man's voice shook. NVhat of them-them old hosses o' mine, what I been with so long! Oh, Bill, if you're a man, give me a square deal! I know you got all the advantage. You can do as you please with me. But you wouldn't! You wouldn't! The old man flung himself against the other and clutched him by the throat, screaming: You wouldn't! in a nervous voice between a command and an entreaty. The younger pushed him easily aside. Haul in on the bit there, Joe! Hold your infernal temper. Do you mean to compare your outfit with mine, for a minute? Why my two blacks could buy a thousand of those old stiifsf' I know, I know, said the old man, clutching Bill eagerly by the hand. But I love 'em, I raised them old fellows from when they was little colts, and as fine a pair as any o' their weight. Many a cold and stormy night I've took 'em into my cabin, to keep them out 0, the blizzard, and often they've pulled me out of a bad hole. VVhen I had money I fed 'em good, too, and when I didn't they rustled for themselves. And to see 'em go now! I can't stand it, Bill. You've got to give me a chance! You're a square man. Often I've hearn tell o' you, and thaey say you're all right. You wouldn't do a mean thing just because ther ain't nobody here and you can get away with it. The old man's trembling voice was elo- quent with persuasion. The-younger looked about thoughtfully. His glance rested on ., .V .. V W -.. ,, .--. Y.. -- -.-- .. the broken down mule and blind horseg turned and looked proudlyvon his own hand- some team and finally took in the pleading figure of the bent, old prospector. He saw no adversary in himg and it would be but the work of a moment to start him and his whole outfit head long to destruction over the yawning precipice. It was growing dark and there was no time to lose. Well, Joej, he drawled slowly at last. Of course, I'll treat you white. You know the rule around here when two men meet in a place like this. We'1l leave it to the cards. He drew from his pocket a greasy pack, while the other's eyes sparkled dimly with the light of hope. Come, you draw first. Age before beauty, Joe. H'e attempted to laugh. The ace is high and the low man goes over. D'ye understand ? No, you first, Bill, said the older, agi- tated but shrewd. I want to know what I got to beat. Oh, all right. The choice is yours? The two men sat down in the rocky rut and prepared coolly and grimly for this lottery of life and death. Each carefully shuffled the deck in turn and they agreed upon the rules. Less than four cards or closer than four from the bottom is no cut. said Bill. The other assented. At last they were ready and the former lifted a few of the cards from the pack and placed them face downward on the ground. Wl1at did you get, Bill? Let's see. The old man reached forward eagerly, but was quickly repelled. Go ahead and draw. This is no game of stud. The hermit lifted the deck and made two or three moves to cut, but each time hesi- I Seventy-three ---...+.................-,.......,..., ..,... .........-4........,.....-....-........,.............., ...... --w-.. ..... ............,.-.. .,.. . ..... ....-......,-............,..............-...................-..,.........,... ........,.... 4 'ffiiqfr 'EW Q W 4,f4+. .9 LTXIIJ' ....

Wihen he finally selected and a card low down in the pack, it was the knave of diamonds. Clutching Billis hand excitedly, stopping his breath and almost arresting the motion of his heart, he found himself confronted by an ace. The old man's lips turned white. but he said no word and uttered no cry. Clasping his head between his hands he collapsed in a heap and sat in a dazed sort of stupor, while the realization of his misfortune was slowly burning its way into his brain. The successful one stood motionless for a min- deep sorrow, then ute, as in respect for glanced at the sky. - Come, now, I know it's hard, but there's no time for foolishness. business over with. Let's get this awful I-Ie received no reply from the dazed form which sat inert save for a slight swaying back and forth. Turning on his heel he slowly made his way to the rear of the old wagon. It was not a difficult feat to lift the hind wheels out of the ruts until one hung over the edge. The weight of the hrst pulled after it the second and in a moment the suspended load had torn the horses from their footing. Vehicle and team went hurling down into the chasm beneath, tearing loose rocks and soil in their last mad clutch at safety. A mighty equine cry, a terror-laden wail came from the throats of the frightened animals -that cry which a horse makes only under the pressure of the greatest excitement and fearg which carries all the suppressed emo- tion of wrongs in time' past, added to the deathly horror of the crisis of the moment. Two of these poignant sounds, blended into one, piercing shrieks rent the air as the doomed animals felt the earth flying from Seventy-four beneath them, while they rushed down to the gathering darkness to meet an unknown death. 'From far below came the sound of a splash mixed with a last great groan. just then one of those inexplicable whirls of wind peculiar to that region, which have neither beginning nor end, tore up the canyon and caught the vibrating noise, and swished it into the hollows and gulches of rock on the other side. The echoes threw back the soundg the canyonis strong sides received it and hurled it back in new waves. Again it was caught and repeated and again re-echoed until it grew in volume. The caves reverberated with it, while the trees locked their branches in the wind and moaned in answer. Finally the sound died down to a murmur and left the one man standing awe-stricken at his work, and the other aroused from his stupor, leaning over the edge and trying to see to the bottom with staring eyes. joe, said the former gently, Let's go. But his voice was unheeded. The weak- ened old man was rocking to and fro on the edge with surprising vigor. Gone! Gone! he cried, running his hands through his hair. Buck! jack! Wihere are you? You were all I had in the world. I can't live without you! I'm com- ing ! There was a wild leap and another form, this time a human one, went flying into space. Another cry burst out, sent forth with all the force every vestige of strength could muster-a weird cry of despair, mixed with a strong note of joy. Again the wind! Again the echoes! And now there is a railroad there. -...-.......-.,........-......................-............,....,-...........,...,..,...:g,,,,,,.,T?.-,Y l.- V VW..,..

But where have people ever wore Any such noisy styles before? Slickers red and slickers yellow, Something new on every fellow VV'ith all their noisy, giddy hue, And drawings on them not a few. Hats are scarce on the modern boy, VVearing one seems to spoil his joy! Now something new will soon come out Since Prince of WVales has gone enroute. Here comes a fellow down the street, Look him over from head to feet. His slicker's slicker than slick sleet, Looking at him gives you a treat. And on the back, made with black paint, Are characters that are and ain't.', The most are good, but some are bad, Slicker designing is a fad. Blanket designed lumberjack shirt, - Corduroy pantsg fgirlie, don't Hirtlj Trousers wide as a modern skirt- Now don't you think our friend is peart. just consider the clothes we wear And those that Grandpa had to bear. Stovepipe hats or a derby black Compared to the wild lumberjack. Now we must in conclusion say VVe're glad these styles have gone their way. VVe're satisfied, but no one knows Wfhat we would do without new clothes. THE MORNING' AFTER THE NIGHT BEFORE VV hen this morningf I did arise I found that I Couldn't open my eyes. I hurried through breakfast In a great rush I poured cream on the butter Instead of the mush. To school then hurried And scurried and rushed And I remembered my hair VVas neglected, not brushed. I sped through the north door Full ten minutes late I dodged Mr. Brown God bless my fate! I rushed to 1ny classroomg It was empty, but say I remembered then It was Color Day. Then followed six hours Of lessons and such Of which I remember Not very much. My story is ended, V The moral is plain It's certainly a great life If you don't feel the strain. I thank you.

She niounted her gander and rode to the city, Where she patted the gander on the back and sent him back honie. She first niade ,Q her way to tl1e Ford Conipany and bought a snappy Ford Coupe. You :nay ask nie where she got the rnoney. If you were as good and wise as lN'Iother Goose, you would be in league with fairies and have only to wish for what you want. So lfother Goose gaily junaped into her Coupe and went to a Departiiiexit store, and when she enierged you wouldn't have known her. She had on HL1111ming Bird silk stockings C they never wear outj, slippers froni Brown Shoe Co. fthe stylish. lasting shoej, and coat and hat the latest from Paris. Al- together, we would not have known our Bliother Goose. I-Ier arins were full of bun- dles and she looked very deternlined. VV hen she got back to her honie, she set out to revolutionize the village. She started at lXIist1-ess INIary's, who lived next to her. 3.Iistress lX'Iary, Quite Contrary. And who are you ? said 'lNIistress Diary. I-Ia, I-Ia, laughed lNIother Goose, and you do not know nie? Pm fixing over tl1e village. I have a wonderful surprise for you: I have brought you seeds from Ferry and Cornpany C seeds that growj. You see they are the last word in seeds, and I think you will like theni better than the old-fash- ioned ones your neighbors have been giving von. , f Oh! thank you, lNIother Goose. I'll try tl1ClTl,,' said lN'Iistress lXfIary. lXIother Goose next turned her attention to Little lX'Iiss IX-Iuffet. Little Bliss lluf- fet, she said, aren't you getting tired of Seventy-eight eating Curds and VV hey, when there are such good substitutes? Eat Post Toasties for a change Cdouble thick, don't get soggy in creanij. Little Bliss lN'IuiTet, not wishing to offend lXfIother Goose, niade a quaint bow and said, Thank you, Ivlother Goose. Liother Goose rode a little farther in her black devil till she caxne to the Old VVoman VVho Lived in a Shoe. She knocked on the door and the Old VV'on1an answered the knock, for of course she was at home with so niany children to niind. Dviother Goose opened the conversation by saying, I have just been to the big, b-ig, up-to-date city, and I have brought you a very good thing to use instead of raw cow's niilk. Here it isg Eagle Brand Condensed lNIilk fdirect froin the company to youjf' The Old VVornan looked at the can dubi- ously. You see, she had raised so niany children that she thought she knew sonme- thing, too. However, she thanked lfother Goose and bade her a hurried farewell, as she had all the children' to spank and put to bed. The next visit Mothex' Goose made was to Lity Coat-Laty Coat. .As she stopped her Ford in front of Lity Coat's house she started to tie it to the hitching post just as she used to tie the gander. I-Iow very absent-niinded I ani and how very, very nice it is to have this auto that won't fly away. fXs she walked in the door she saw Lity-Coat trixrmiing candles. Isn't that a bother ? she asked.

This she made to Old Mother Hubbard, who was, according to the rhyme, looking in her cupboard for a bone for her dog. Quite gushingly, Mother Goose said, Mother Hubbard, you are behind the times. People have stopped giving their dogs bones. I know it is an old custom, and I suppose Adam gave his dog one in the Gar- den of Eden, but we live in the twentieth century, and as everything comes in a can, I have brought you some potted meat, Libby's, with the bone ground up in the meat. . Mother Hubbard slowly put on her glasses, and taking the can gingerly in her hand, said, It has a very pretty picture on the outside, and that was all! Ch, dear, said Mother Goose, I'm in such a hurry. You know, to be up to date you must always be in a hurry, and she jumped into her fiivver and drove to the house of the Cross Old VVoman, who was as usual hitting her husband over the head with a rolling-pin. Cease, ceaseln said Mother Goose, and look what I have brought you-a porcelain rolling-pin! Cguaranteed not to breakj. Trish, tush, said the Cross Old VVoman, I don't Want any o' them new-fangled things. and went on hitting her husband, and Mother Goose had to lay the rolling-pin on the table as she made a hasty exit. Dearie me. said Mother Goose, what a dreadful woman, and yet I have to put up with her because she is one of 1ny vil- lagers. However, my next stop will be a pleasant one, King Arthur's Courtf, Now, King Arthur lived away out on the very edge of Mother Gooseis domain, so Mother Goose sped along rapidly and noisily C for whoever heard of a Ford not making noise?l so noisily, in fact, that she woke up Little Boy Blue, who came to the fence. W'hy, Little Boy Blue, she cried, as she stopped, you are just the one I want to see. I have a nice whistle from Swartz's in New York for you instead of your old horn. Uh, but it is so shiny and it makes such a loud noise, said Boy Blue. You'll get used to that,', said Mother Goose as she bade him good-by. As she sped along she passed many of her villagers trudging along the roadway. There was the Crooked Man, the Old W'oman with Her Pig, and the Man in the Moon, who tumbled down and asked the way to Norwich. Jump in, cried Mother Goose, I'm going by the South, so the Man in the Moon jumped in. It was not long before they arrived and as he climbed out he said, Well, that is service. 'For once I am not late for my cold peas porridgef' and being the Man in the M oon, he said, Good night. Good day, called Mother Goose, and drove on to court, where she found King Arthur at his table, with his favorite bag- pudding on the table and his favorite dogs under the table. VVhat news P he cried. Great news, cried Mother Goose. Good King Arthur, here is the latest in canned-puddings, all ready to serve. It's Heinz's fthe bestl, no cooking, no steam- ing. .Iust warm the can, dump it out and. presto! you have a pudding fit for such as you. I thank thee, fair Mother Goose, said King Arthur, and I pray thee to be 'pres- ent when I serve it. e Now Mother Goose had one more stop to make, Poor Old Robinson Crusoe, who lived away, away out in a cave by himself. I thank my stars I have this Ford, she said. 'ffor ordinarily it is a whole day's trip on the gander, and, see, I am here in twenty minutes.', Out she jumped and, not look- ing, bumped into Robinson himself.

See what a surprise I have for you, a whole nifty suit of clothes from Marx, Shalfner and Company. Isn't it keen? for, if you must know, Mother Goose now used flapper language. However, she lapsed into Mother Goose lingo as she said, 'Poor Qld Robinson Crusoe, Poor Old Robinson Crusoe! I-Ie made him a coat Of an old Nanny Goat. I wonder why he should do so.' And here's a cane to go with the outfit, in- stead of that horrid umbrella. But what can I do with a cane? It won't keep the su11 off, said Robinson Crusoe. Well, just-er-um-just for appear- ances, said Mother Goose. Appearances! groaned Robinson, but Mother Goose was gone. It was almost tea-time, and even if Mother Goose was up to date she must have her tive o'clock tea, and as there were no traffic cops, she made the old 'bus, or rather the new 'bus, rattle. VVhen she was almost home she saw a crowd in front of her house, and in her hurry to stop the car she almost ran over the- gander, who, resenting the rival- honk, honk, was quite angry. Mother Goose paid no attention to him. however, and as she dragged herself from the Ford she thought: Q How tired I am, and my subjects here to thank me so soon. like seeing themf, I certainly don't feel The whole of Drury Lane seemed to be there except Robinson Crusoe and King Arthur. As Mother Goose drew near, a silence fell. Mistress Mary stepped for- ward. Before she could speak, Mother Goose said: ' Eighty I am glad to see you here. Come again tomorrow and we'll have a party to cele- brate, for Mother Goose did not want them to see how tired she was. They were not to be put off thus, and Mistress Mary again stepped forward. Please, Mother Goose, I don't like these seeds. I think I like the old ones best. Little Miss Muffet came next and said: I like curds and whey better by far than Post Toastiesf' 1 The Old Woman in the Shoe said: My children are cross and crabby and they actually refused to be spanked today. I don't want this canned foodf' Nor I, either, said Old Mother Hub- bard. I'll have to take my dog to the den- tist, a place where he has never been be- fore. Lity Coat-Laty Coat said: These lamps are too glaring. Give me back my soft- toned candles. Then the Cross Old 'Woman stepped up: Here's your porcelain rolling-pin. I al- most cracked my husband's head, and if I did, I'd have no one to hit. Take it back ! One by one all the villagers stepped for- ward and returned Mother Goose's presents. Wheri they had hnished, Mother Goose said: XVell, my children, I'm not so sure I like this change myself, and now that I think of it, we won't be able to have the old rhymes if we keep it so. So Mother Goose took back the presents, discarded her Happer clothes for the good old full skirt and shoes with buckles, and once again rode her gander, and in spite of ads we still have our Mother Goose and her rhymes as good as ever. .... ...................--.....-...........-........-.....-....... ,... .....................-Q...

Be that as it may, he would never have been expected to show it just when he did. It was raining torrents and, as he walked across the spotless rag carpet, his awkward feet left ample evidence of the state of the weather. In his arms he carried a bedraggled specimen of dogkind, which he carefully placed in the center of a snowy counterpane as swift tap-taps sounded in the adjoining room. He straightened up hastily, almost guiltily, so that a broken sus- pender slapped against the bed as he turned to speak. Before he could say a word. however, his sharer in this world's sorrows began- VVell. Jolm Henry, wl1at're you doin'? Trackin' in more mud fer me to clean up, I siposel An' you've gone an' broke them bran' new suspendersg leastways they wuz new no time ago, an' me never bin the same sence Elmiry's baby had the measles, an' thet new doctor from down to the city wouldn't listen to me, as had raised six chil- dren, 'ceptin' the two as died, an' this house so scattered an' muddled up that if Sary Jane was to get a peek at it fer a minit, it'd be the talk of the neighborhood, and them a' botherin' me account 0' the .E . t Q' hir, twinges weather, an' John Henry Jones! if you ain't got thet good-fer-nothin' yeller dog on my spankin' clean spread! I'm a goin' to-if She dived with angry hand toward what had long been a thorn that rankled in her Hesh simply because of general principles. John had come home late one Sunday after- noon with a little yellow pup in his arms. He said he had found it a piece down the road with his leg broke, and it had looked at him so pleadin' like, that he just had Thereupon, there had to bring him home. ensued a heated monologue interrupted by a few words from John, which finally re- sulted in the dog's gaining permission to stay until his leg had healed. But the grate- ful pup had gained such a hold on the affec- tions of his new found friend that John con- trived to keep him longer. However, he was constantly doing something to anger Miran- dy, and this last act seemed to cap the climax. As I have said, she made a dive. but was stopped by the brawny, outstretched arm of her husband. . John I-Ienry, don't you dare to stop me! T het there dog's chased my chickens and tore up my dish towels an' lost my slippers an' made tracks on my kitchen floor long enough, an' Iim going' to take him right out, rain or no rain, an' throw 'im in the river, so's I'll know-U Mirandy! the tone was quiet, but his eyes flashed. Mirandy! Don't yew go a-Mirandyin' meg I'm a-goin' to do as I- Mirandy Jane Sawyer. Sawyer! why that was her maiden name. and he never called her that except in mo- ments of greatest anger. lrVhy he was re- fusing to-but he was talkingg she must listen. I reckon you've said about enough about this pore, little thing. He ain't chased yore chickensg he ain't lost yore slippers, an' if he did tear up an old dish towel 'r sumthin, it was yore own fault fer leavin' it where he cud get it, an' it's a pity if a man can't hev one thing that belongs to him in his own house. I'm a goin' to keep this yere pup, an' if there ain't room enough in here, him an' me c'n find a place in the hayloft, an' if not, tl1C1'C,S other places. He stooped, gently raised the innocent cause of the strife, walked to the door, through the door, off the porch and disappeared in the mist. E ighty-one M, M-,,,,,,,W,,, ,,,,,,...,,.. .... ..- ....

Such actions were unprecedented. But finally, amaze- ment gaye way to anger and a cloud settled on her brow and in her eyes. lVell, it ain't a goin' to stay. Her mouth shut with a snap, and she turned and walked firmly into the kitchen to her waiting dishes. The morning dragged on. There was no intermission in the steady downpour and no sign of dog or man. Occasionally a dish would be slammed on the table Cshe broke three cups that morningj, or the broom would receive an angry whisk. The usually placid cat took to her heels in alarm, and from her refuge under the stove, heard disjointed phrases which sounded like- 'iafter thirty years o' married life-needn't think I'm a goin' to give in-idea 0' his actin' up like that-c'n jest stay out there if he wants to. However. from time to time, she made a visit to the window that overlooked the barnyard, being careful to stand so that she would be invisible f1'om without and then there usually followed a fresh explosion. Most of the morning passed and the phrases changed slightly in character. Now the cat heard, Wonde1' if he cud a meant it-Wfonder what he meant by 'other places,' and ended with, I ain't a goin' to do it. Two hours more, and all the while she moved nervously from place to place and could rest nowhere. Finally she could stand the strain no longer, but had to give vent to the fear struggling in her bosom. Oh. she cried, clasping her hands ner- vously, they ain't no use me pretinin' I don't knowwhat he meant by them words. He's went right over to his ma's. An' she'll persuade him as I'm terrible mean Cshe allays was that way, saying myapple pies ain't as good as her Sally's. just as if I hadn't copied the receipt outer her cook book when the spiteful thing wasn't a look- in'j and he'll believe her an' won't never cum back! At this terrifying thought she snatched her clock from its peg and darted out through the rain to the ba1'n. It was Eighty-two empty as she had expected. VVith quickly beating heart she flew out of the gate and up the road. Finally, mud-splashed and drenched to the skin, she reached the goal and knocked excitedly on the door of her mother-in-law.

Vlfringing her hands as she ran, she sobbed, Not there, not thereg then where can he be ?l' Her question was not answered, and she slipped on the muddy road, but that only served to make her run the faster when she regained l1er balance. She reached the gate, the porch, the door and her over- wrought fancy admitting of no explanation but the worst, she cried finally, conclusively, hopelessly : He's tooken thet dog an' gone to the w-wicked c--city! An' I'll n-never see him again, 'cause folks as goes into its gaping jaws Cugaping jaws was quoted Ju from a passing evangelistj never cum backf' How he was to get there or how subsist without a cent in his pocket, never entered her mind, and rushing into the silent house, she threw herself on the soiled spread, her shoulders shaking.

She could hardly believe her ears, but her eyes too proclaiming him not a spectre, she rushed upon him, hid her head on his shoulder and sobbed. Y-you can have all the dogs you w-want, I-I-john, an' I ain't a g-goin' to say a W-word.

My dear Catherine de Medici : I AM writing to tell you that that im- fgtfh l poster, the Duchess' de Arguello, has insinuated today that you are I the wickedest woman in the world. I should say, Off with her head at once, for I know that you are the best friend I have, having executed only about five hundred bourgeoise. But what are they? Trash! Today just before lunch I ordered Turgot and Necker to be executed-stupid things- and you can't imagine how my appetite was improved at lunch, knowing they were out of the way. IN e have been having quite a time with the mobs this season. They woke me at one o'clock one afternoon for some silly reason. I had ten of them executed and then went back to bed. My dressmaker had the nerve to .tell me the other day that I was getting fat. I had her tongue cut out to teach her a lesson. Wfell, such is life: one darn thing after another. You don't mind if I have a few words mispelled. My mother, Maria Theresa, was always a matchmaker and she wouldn't let me hnish school. I had to marry Louis, and I didn't like him either. I-Ie is so fat he steps all over my feet when we dance, and he is forever monkey- ing with -old locks. I threatened to divorce him last week. I-Ie is rather moody today, for the Assembly just telephoned that he is to be executed in the electric chair next week. VVell, Noblesse Oblige. y I guess you hea1'd about the March of the XVild Wfomen. They wanted us to go to Paris so bad that they wouldn't even let my maid take the paper curlers out of my hair, so I had to go in a boudoir cap. Our chauf- feur, james. drove so fast that we skidded and were all thrown out. Then the mob started shouting something about tl1e baker E ighty-six and his little boy. Then Lafayette and his National Guards drove up in their tanks and fired on the mob with French 7 5's. I guess I have written enough. I want you to be severe in the case of that Duchess, to teach her a lesson. The guillotine has been oiled lately and it doesn't squeak any more. It used to be frightful, so I ordered the head gazaboo to oil it. The knife has been sharpened and it is very efficient now. It was a shame the way they wasted time before. IVell, I guess I will have to con- sole Louis awhile. I-Ie is very inconsolable. Can you beat it? W' ith love, LTARIE ANTOINETTE, The Tnilleries. fQueen of Francej . V Rome, January 2, 62 B. C. My dear Antony: I take my pen in hand to write you a few lines. fThis pen and ink are rotten, so I don't see how I can wade through even a few linesj p As you know, last Tuesday was Christ- mas. To keep the spirit of the day, Cal- phurnia has been spending money right and left these last few days, buying presents, and she is nearly worn out from bargain hunting. She gave me a red and green toga f'Christmas colors, I supposej. I do wish she would think of the color scheme, for, though I am a handsome man, a red toga is not -becoming to red hair! Of course, I said it was beautiful, but I intend to wear it when I have to crawl under the flivver the next time. Little Julius got a pair of ice skates and he insisted upon my showing him how to skate. I am not as graceful as I used to be, but I did pretty well. Once I fell on top of little Julius, but the resulting black eye is better now. ff yr...

There is a new serial running, called the Terrible Triumphs of Tempestuous Tessief' and believe me, I have to escort Calphurnia to see it every Tuesday night. I am dropping you a gentle hint for your sake and that of your pocketbookg don't take your wife to see the beginning of a serial picture. I hear there is a movement on foot to offer me the crown. Believe me, I am gomg to be sly! I am going to pretend I won't take it, but after a while, when Calphurnia' and the rest of the mob come, weeping salty, crocodile tears on my manly shoulder, I will take it, very reluctantly of course.

Y W - My dear Bottom: I have just read presently of your affair in the woods with Titania. She showed an inexorable amount of nerve in trying to suf- fice you from your companions. Of course one couldn't blame her for her ententions to you in the woods, for I have seen your picture and all the words in my intensive vocabulary couldn't repress the throbs of my organ of love on seeing the a1'tist's insufficient betrayal of your beauti- ful countenance. The protuberance of joy eliminating your wonderful violet eyes ren- dered me speechless. The verdure of your tenacious hair invigorates me. The general dainty air about you and your perfifious per- sonality cause me to show antipathy toward you. I have heard, too, of your masterless efforts in acting. That produce you put on in Theseus' castle was worthy of you. Your troupe of lesser lights were comparable in their rolls, excluding Wall, Moon and Lion. Their technique in their betrayal of the parts were unique. - Another thing, my dear Bottom, is your wonderful vocabulary. It is almost as ap- prehensive as 1Tly own. lfVhen I saw you saying, There is not a more fearful wild fowl than your line living, the malice and inebriation of your words infected 1ne, for them's my sentiments, as ficticous as ever a man tasted. My dear Bottom, I think that a letter from you would be most enervating, so won't you please reply to this? Yours very lovingly, MRS. NIALAPROP. Eighty-seven 5'-'V -:- .

You sell automobiles ? 5 roared the iritate William Bircher at his only son, Why you couldn't sell baby buggies from door to door! You're nothing but a kid fresh from college and haven't had your first nibble of business life yet. It takes a man with ex- perience and ability to sell articles of value, especially those which are mere luxuries. Do you think your little B. A. degree is go- ing to help you cajole a couple of thousand dollars out of some tight-listed miser? Do you think you could do that? Why, a baby buggy is a necessity, but a pretty show you would find selling even that little item. At this point Jim darkened the door and left. I-Ie was mad. Held waited four years at college so he could be his dad's foreign sales- man, and now when he had waited such an eternity, his dad told him, his own only son, that he couldn't even sell baby buggies! Business experience, bah! Why he had a B. A. degree and that certainly entitled him to almost anything he could possibly want, at least a thing as a job. Once in his den, jim gave his heart over to bitterness. The words, You couldn't even sell baby buggies! rang in his ears. Suddenly he roared, By heck, I'll sell baby buggies in this town and make a success of it, if I have to throw the buggies in the houses and extract the gold filling from the women's teeth to pay for them. He knew he could. Pshaw, a college man always has it over everyone else, and, besides, Mabel Cshe was his fianceel would help out if he needed assistance. It was then one o'clock in the afternoon, so he hurried off toward the largest infants' supply house in the city of Elwood. Ar- rived before it, he cast doubtful glances at the many white-bedecked vehicles conspicu- ously displayed in their spacious show win- dows. It was indeed a wonderful display which lay before him. Baby buggies for Eighty-eight the poor, baby buggies for the rich! White, black, green, beautiful, comfortable or ugly! Any kind youthful public might possi-bly wish for. Baby buggies, however, will not as a rule, hold a manas attention for a very great space of time, even though the said individual is planning on redeeming his own filial stand- ing by disposing of them for slippery cash. The young son of the auto magnate was not an exception to this rule, for, after a brief survey, with a snappy turn of the heel, and a squared jaw, he entered the For Em- ployes Only office. A multitude of desks confronted him-a veritable labyrinth for a job-seeking person, but, to his immediate relief, he perceived one large desk labeled Mr, Johnson, Manager, and he wasted no time in hurrying past the inquisitive girls to the monarch of the establishment. After briefly introducing himself to the manager, Jim began, To be brief and frank with you, sir, I want a position as city sales- man or solicitor for baby buggies, that is, to sell them from door to door. You under- stand, don't you? You see+ Say, interrupted the manager, do you think this is a five and ten cent store, or a department store? I can't give you a job like that. VVhy, our sales are all made wholesale. I'm very sorry but I can't do anything for you. Hang it all! I've got to have that job whether I take it second-hand or have to create it. My life, my honor depends on it ! Your life, your honor? questioned Mr. Johnson, the manager. I don't understand what you meanf' Well, began Jim, I'll explain to you. My dad is president of the Bircher Auto- mobile Company and ever since I can re- member, I've wanted to be a foreign sales- man and expected to be one as soon as I graduated from college. Now I've finished ....-........--.....a..........-..,.,...........,..-......... .....-.q ,.'r-Sri:-::-r.':.r........... 'M'-2':::r:::':1' ' e 'I .- - college and dad laughed at me when I asked him for the salesmanship, and told me I couldn't even sell baby buggies from door to door. Now, won't you help me out ? A sly twinkle in the manager's eyes told Jim of his success. Yes, son, I'll help you. At one time I worked for your father, but I never could show him anything. If you think you can, I'd like to be on hand to see you do it, he chuckled, I'1l have one of my office girls Hx you up with samples, and here's my hand for your success ? Mr. Johnson called to one of the many girls in the establishment and, to his surprise Jim saw Mabel's best friend coming toward him. She recognized him immediately and after a short talk with the manager led jim into the stockroom of the establishment. VVhat can I do for you ? she said. Mr. Johnson told me that what you wanted was to be done and that I was to 'fix' you up. So Jirn explained again what he wanted to do and how he intended to do and how he intended to do it, while she listened with a. generous smile on her face. How perfectly lovely ! she said when he had sketched his plan. Now, you choose two samples while I get some other things. Jim had been uneasy before, but now he was petrified, and well might he be, for picking out two samples from a two hundred thousand dollar stock of baby carriages was not an easy task. There were piles upon piles before him. It was indeed a mighty spectacle, and a famine of baby carriages looked improbable in the face of such a col- lection. It was many times more than the astonished james had ever imagined could exist, let alone exist in a city where the mar- riage license clerk made only about twenty dollars a week, and fourteen dollars of that came from direct taxes. Jim scratched his head in perplexity as he tried to select two stylish buggies as would satisfy any prospective buyer. Now, every- one will have to admit that that wasn't an easy or pleasant task for a young man fresh from college, with no knowledge whatever of the taste of youthful parents. Trigonom- etry or history wouldn't help out here. He knew that just plain common sense was all that was necessaryg so he tried to summon to remembrance what sort of a wheeled vehicle he had ridden in so many years be- fore, but twenty years was a long time to think back to. Then he tried reasoning what kind of babies there were. There are twins and triplets and, of course, single bab-ies! Most common of these three classes are the twins and single ba-bies, and this made his selection as easy as choosing his own wear- ing apparel. Now, young men of this world are not supposed to be up to the ideal in taste as to baby vehicles, but picked judges would have certainly agreed that james Richard did his sex justice in his selection of two polished carriages. Jim himself was very well satisfied. But Fate balances every joy with an equal sorrow. If the Bircher boy could only re- peat, at will, the yell of horror that came to his lips upon beholding Mabel's returning friend, he would make a fortune in the theatrical world. She had three babies on her arms! Besides these, she clapsed a great bundle of infant paraphernalia. Well, here you are, Mr. Bircher, thanks to the manager and myself for details. I don't want any praise, but I do think I did my duty toward my best friend's husband- to-be, she said as she tucked the babies in their beds of downy white. When your customers see how darling they look, they can't help ibut buy. Oh, but they do look so awfully cute l jib was dazed. He touched one of the kids to make sure he wasn't seeing things, but- great thundering Jehoshaphat! They were bisque babies! A remonstrance was not then long coming, I really can't go on the street with those things ! 'ljust like a man, she said at once. Don't you realize the value of those babies? They make the buggies look real with those life- like faces of theirs. It's a novelty and is bound to take with your customers. You can't succeed without them! Aw, no one's going to pay any attention to those things, said Jim.

W'ell, she' said, if no one will notice them, then yvhy are you kicking? You know people will look at them because of their curiosity. VV hy, Mr, Bircher, you absolutely can't fail with them! Think of your success, with all your glory. You're fixed, sure. I get you, now, said Jim. The idea is sure good. Iill just attract people by means of the beauty and novelty. Isn't that the way P HY es, that's it, and I'm glad you at last understand. VV ell, I sure appreciate- No, no, I will not be thanked. Here's a side door, and now's your chance. All jim could picture was success, and so he let her shove him out onto the avenue, baby .buggies and all. Now, in the strictest sense of the word, Elwood was not a small place. It boasted of two finely equipped fire companies, one park, a large river trade and a police force of thirty-five. There were but three main thoroughfares in the city. One of them was the Avenue of Bridges, so named because of the many bridges, necessitated by the numer- ous small streams flowing to the riverg an- other was a residential street, and the third was a purely commercial one. It was the last of these three that jim now found himself upon. As in all down- town thoroughfares, many people infested the sidewalk, and many vehicles, the street proper. Poor jim didn't believe he had ever seen so many people as were out upon that street. However, he went on down the street wheeling his wares. VVhat he wanted was sales! Sales for his own salvation. The motto of the world is Service to Mankind and Sustenance of Self. James Richard lflircher was endeavoring to follow this maxim. Some people get sympathy because they pay for it, some acquire it, and some have it forced upon them. james was of the latter class. As a group of young lads passed one of those overflowing with sympathy re- marked, Poor fellow! Three kids and he looks to be about only twenty. Gee! No Ninety married life for mine. Another wanted to know where his wife stayed while he wheeled their offspring. Still another wanted to know if they were all girls. A fourth inquired how many more he had at home. He didn't wait to hear the rest, he fled- only to find himself entangled in a bevy of pretty girls, whose shrieks of laughter sent him in an entirely different angle of direc- tion, out into the busy thoroughfare. An awful shriek from a benevolent old lady just in front caused him to look aside, only to see coming down the street at a furious rate of speed, a racing maniac in his hellish machine. He leaped forward Cand it was a good thing he had taken broad jumping as a leader in athleticsj out of what he thought was the danger zone. He didn't wait to see to the baby buggies. He just dropped them by instinct. Another shriek from the same source froze his blood rin anticipation of death by some other means. His fears were groundless, however, for a burly officer, rolling two carriages toward him, explained the cause of the last warning. The baby buggies were not harmed in the least. Muttering a passing word to the offi- cer, he continued on down the street. Poor jim wondered why in the name of udgment people couldn't distinguish a bisque doll from a flesh and blood infant. Some people surely lacked schooling. Nevertheless, he had expected success to come hard, so he didn't quite give up. But with derision heaped upon hardship, success looked very distant indeed. However, he had mastered four languages, so he concluded he wouldn't allow two baby buggies to ruin his life. It was now three o'clock and he hadn't sold a milk bottle, much less anything larger, so he determined really to begin his sales. A cozy, home-like looking cottage loomed up before him, and thinking and hoping it might house some rollicking youngsters, he entered the yard. Then he walked up to the door and rang the bell. He tried to think what to say, but to save his life, he couldn't think of one word to utter. He was in a panic, but as he started to Hee, the door opened! -.........,...........-.......... .,,, .........,-...-.... ... ..... . .......,..,, ....,. ..,,. ...-,. .,....... .,. . ...,. . .........,,.....-.........,....,,...4-........,.-.-.,..,....-......-f,.,......,..,..,1-....................,........-..--...... wssiifiifsi:---,a.2i2f' - ' . . .Ein rf '1' X . 6' - , 5 if? , .s.5f:::LCI.lfii:fii' ll.:1.116-1:11:L1::7:::::::::::r:L:::::::::.,....

Well, inquired the curt, paper-headed person who opened the door, What do you want ? Please, madame, he began, could I sell you a buggy for babies? They're very nice, and only twenty-nine fifty each, on time- You insulting wretch! Who are you to come insulting a poor., lone, respectable lady who has lived forty years in single blessed- ness? How dare you stand there- But he wasn't standing there. He was three blocks away, pacing as hard as his already winded lungs would permit, drag- ging along behind those buggies at as rapid a gait as they were ever intended to make. Drops of perspiration fell from his be- wildered brow as he thanked his lucky stars for his fortunate escape from that spinster with the murderous tongue. Nevertheless, with a fool's grit he attacked another home- like institution, resolved to sell at least one part of his wares or die in the attempt! He reached the steps, halted, and rang the bell, but he couldn't stay. He fled, leaving bug- gies, dolls and all to their fate. He had just reached the corner, when an awful voice shouted from where he had just fled, Auch! mein Gott, three babies, help ! At the same instant he felt a tight grip on his arm, and as he turned to see who his tormentor was, he recognized the officer who had been such a hero in saving his babies but a few minutes before. Back to the house they marched, arm in arm, up to the excited mistress of the house who was wailing out dire curses upon the cold-hearted father. Say, began the officer, I just got through rescuing those kids from an auto- mobile and now you're trying to leave them at this poor widow's door. I've got a notion to pull you in. You'd get two years for this. Poor Jim tried to explain, but the angry policeman wouldrft give him time. Instead 'he gave him a shove and said, Go on, get away from here and don't let me see you again this blessed day. Get ! He got. It was a mighty sad and dejected lad who plodded down that street pullingstwo infant carriages. Fate, thou ever deciding god, thy burden is indeed hard upon some! Had not Bircher's son tried? Had he not been encompassed with difficulties and discour- agement? His dad, it seemed was against him, the law was against him! Maybe though, a fellow's wife-to-be might stand up for him-but horrors upon horrors, Mabel was coming down the street! He wondered what she would think of his ap- pearance, but he knew in his heart she was too hasty to wait for an explanation, and she couldnlt imagine him wheeling dolls. He had to do something before she saw him. Kind Providence came to the rescue. Be- fore him loomed one of the many bridges! He hailed it as a divine blessing sent es- pecially for him, and as a grateful receiver, rushed up to it and threw the two buggies, contents and all, down into the swiftly How- ing current. Instantly he felt heavy grip upon his arm. Y ou ! he exclaimed as he recognized the same burly officer. Yes, me, the patrolman answered after a shrill blast on his whistle to summon an- other officer, and for God's sake think of what you've done! 'We've got to save those kids! So saying, without even stripping off his coat, he leaped over the bridge down into the water, and after a short struggle, emerged upon the bank with the two buggies -but there were no babies in them. Down again he went. He dived and again he dived. He took off his coat and dived again. During all this time, -lim gazed as one entranced. hynotized. Mabel now ap- proached but she had eyes only for him and asked, What luck brought you here to meet me ? L0ve's dream did not last long, however, for a whole squad of blue-coated enforcers of the law suddenly appeared. They looked at Jim and then at Mabel, and then down into the water. The ser- geant immediately drew his own conclusion, with a loud and strong voice he shouted, N inety-one XE is S M 3, --.......... .... a-...-... .,..H ....---.......-a..-.--...,,.,,.t,,,,,,, .-,,,,,,, 3. . ,W i,,,w--M-,-,W .Z....,. ,,,, , f .,li. 59' A.v1 3 1 La:::'.z'::m4:::::r::'.:::r:::':.':.'....'---....-'-'-...-,-1---5-::r,g,,-gg-ref---f-if 1 l . .. My God, who would have conceived of such beasts? Here you two, you'll both get a. rope around your neck for child murder. Bill, Mike, grab these murderers! They're nothing but kids, but they've got blood on their hands. - Immediately two officers laid hold of Mabel and jim. Mabel fainted. Jim was distracted. I-Ie caught Mabel and called her name in agony, but the men of the law were not to be fooled. Come offf' said the sergeant, this faint- ing's an old 'stall.' The station's only two blocks off. If your wife there wants to be drug along, why all right. I'm not agoin' to carry her, and she's goin' with you. Jim was almost crazy. He looked about him for help,,and-to his joy, he espied his father coming towards him in a brand new 1917 model. Loudly he shouted, Oh Pop! Pop ! Pop knew his name anywhere and so came to him, W'ell, well, he began. Then, seeing the girl, he exclaimed, Why, this is Mabel- why- Mabel nothingf' interrupted one of the officers. You come along with the rest of them to the lock-up. It looks like an infant killing trust to me. The sergeant now suddenly appeared from under the bridge where he had gone to help the first officer. He was followed by the burly hero, who was soaking wet, dishev- eled, and who carried in his arms one of the bisque babies. He looked mad and he was mad. VVhere's that damned fellow, Ninety-two he yelled, I'll teach him to play jokes on the Elwood police force. What the-! ! l Shut up, ordered the sergeant. Then turning toward the recently acquired pris- oner, he said, Well, I'll be blessed if it ain't old Bill Bircher. Well, who'd ever have thought I'd see you here. Shake, old man. They shook hands and then Bill Bircher asked the sergeant what it was all about. Darned if I know, said the sergeant. W'e'd better listen to the kid. Then the kid, still supporting Mabel, who, by this time had come to, yet needed help, related his plans and adventures from be- ginning to end, to the nine officers, his father and his sweetheart. Then everybody roared! Even the wet policeman smiled. When Mr. Bircher, senior, at length man- aged to speak coherently, he slapped Jim on the back and said, Well, son, how do you like selling baby carriages? I was going to offer you the state territory this morning, but I never supposed you'd make such a local salesman. I'm sorry you can't accept it. I suppose, though, that you've become so attached to baby -buggies you wouldn't consider automobiles. Accept, roared Jim.. I'll certainly ac- cept the state territory all right. No more baby buggies for mine. Well, then you and Mabel hop in with me and see what you think of the new model you,re going to sell. In the meantime our friends can-C slipping a bill into the hands of the sergeantj you fellows, you do what- ever you like with this. EXCUSED NORBETH DUBY--january, 1927 Sleep, my dolly, I-'Vlzilc I hold you iight Sleep in drcamland Safe til morning Iightf' I N the large music room, a small group consisting of Chub, her mother, Mrs. Irvene, Bud, her brother, and her cousin Beth, was gathered around the piano. The girls and Mrs. Irvene were rehearsing a song which was to be sung at an entertainment the next week. Bud was very much absorbed in watching the little girls put their dolls to sleep with this childish lullaby. Another occupant of the room was not taking any part in the rehearsal, nor was she watching the girls, as she was too busy with her own affairs. This was Marguerite, Bethis ba-by sister. Bye and bye she left the room to go in search of her mother, who was in another part of the big, old house. She was seen to crawl through the long hall that led into the piano room and was soon lost to sight as she turned a corner. Just after she left, the lights flickered and went out. Mamma, where are the lights ? queried Chub. Stand still, children, and Iill have the lamp lighted in a moment, so we can go on with this song. You know you must learn it perfectly before next week, answered Chub's mother. Your uncle john has been busy with that light power-tank for the past half hour. The regulator has not been used because Uncle John thought the electric lights would be installed any day. It must be watched carefully. The tank referred to was one of acety- lene used to furnish light in the house. It was a very dangerous method, as many ter- rible things might happen if the pressure became too great for the small tank. This one had become particularly troublesome and often the lights could not be used unless Mr. Nlfrifrht worked on them for a long while. Thelgemergency lamp being lighted, Mrs. Irvene played a few more chords of the song and the children began to sing again. Sleep, my dolly, lVhile I holdin Boom-m-in!! The house rocked on its foundation. A piercing scream was heard that sent a chill down the spines of all in the room. Everything was again thrown into darkness. lvindows were shattered and bricks from the outer wall fell around the room. No one there was hit by the danger- ous missiles, but their nostrils were filled with dust and powdered mortar. Mother, mother, screamed Chub. Are you here? VVhat happened? VVher's Bud and Beth? Fm so f-f-frightened. I-Iere's me, mamma and I'm 'fraid, too. This was from Bud, who had been quiet up to this time. I-lush! ls 'any one of you hurt? No? Thank goodness! Someone will come in a few minutes to help us get outside. VVe must stand still and not take any steps at all, advised Mrs. Irvene. In a far corner of the room she noticed a dull, red glow. The children, too, saw it and began to talk excitedly among them- selves. Mrs. Irvene was busy thinking of the others. XY here were the rest? VVas any of them injured? VVhere had Marguerite crawled to when she left the room? All these thoughts were circulating through her brain as she sat on the piano bench with the children huddled close around her. She was peering about the room to see if there was any opening through which they could es- b b Ninety-three ..,.,,...,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,.M.,,,,,r,,,t. ...., ..,...,...:.,.............-......,....,.........-..,.. ...... -.. ,,.... ....... .... ......,.............-,.,.................................-..........-.,.....,.-.......,-.-...............,.....,......,..... .. .gel sseagsa 2 . a is s is M K- s s . , 4 , A A , ,,. ,,, .y - i 2 , . -X 512,51 ,L 4 3-Z. .diff 5 .r Q -i .Wien Zfgg , 41 '5' 4 -7' 2 if gs'-H11 t'Qf'K x f fl ec s ,. cfm 2--1 f-- 4 .-'sf 1 Sw s-.-sfxifafhf' sa -' ' Li' 1 .

This, she knew, would make it doubly hard to help the children get outside. NV hen she again looked at the corner where she had seen the flame, she was thank- ful to see that it had gone out and there was no more danger of being trapped by fire. Bang-bang! Then the four heard a loud noise at the side door and knew that Uncle John had come at last. Tot, Tot, I'll have you out in a minute. Any one hurt? I'll have to bust this glass, for this door is rusted shut. lfVe haven't use it for many months. Uncle John broke the glass panel of the door and Mrs. Iryene helped the children one by one across the dangerous places and out the small opening to Mrs, W' right. After the Children were out, Mrs. Irvene sta1'ted through the hole. i'vWh6l'C,S the baby ? shouted Uncle John at this point. VVasn't she with you F A short deadly silence followed. Then they told about the baby's leaving the room. My God, Tot! Marguerite must have been in the pantry, then. Sarah said she heard something in there a while ago, but she thought it was the dog. I noticed Tad was tied in his kennel when I was in the yard a while ago. It was the baby she heard. Mrs. Irvene was stunned for a moment, for she knew that the pantry which Mr. VVright thought Marguerite had been in, was on the. direct route of the hall through which the baby crawled and that the pantry was just above the exploded tank. By this time, the small group had reached the front gate, where people from all over town had gathered. They were not allowed to go near the house because they were afraid of its collapsing at any moment. The whole-house was one complete wreck. Ninety-four VV'indows were broken, doors hung on one hinge or were completely off, and the whole of one side of the house had caved in. The bedroom where Mrs. Irvene and the chil- dren slept was no longer in existence. Everything except the bed, which hung sus- pended by one leg, had been blown into the yard, and Mrs. Irvene shuddered to think of the fate she and her children would have suffered had they gone to bed at an early hour. Mrs. XV right had fared worst of all. She had heard the pump working so hard and had tried to get into the kitchen to warn her sister that something was wrong. W' he11 she reached the back door, the tank ex- ploded and the glass in the door shattered. The pieces flew in all directions and cut her very badly. Uncle John was working on the tank when it exploded and he had been blown clear out of the cellar into the back yard, but he was not injured. The people heard about the baby, and six of the 1nen volunteered to search for her. They started into the house, while another man was sent to get a doctor for Mrs. VV right. About live minutes later, a sudden shout was heard from the house. Mn l.Vright, we've found her and she's not hurt a mite. Mrs. Vlfright breathed a prayer of thank- fulness to Heaven and anxiously waited to have her baby in her arms once more. Soon they appeared from inside the house and the baby was being carried by one of them. Where did you lind her ? queried one. VVas she in the pantry? asked another. Tell us all about it, said Uncle John. Many yards of bandages mattered little as Mrs. VVright hugged the child while the speaker of the group told his story about fmding Marguerite. 'Wllall-l-l, Mr. W'right, he said, we went right into the kitchen and over to the pantry to see if she had crawled in there and sure enough. She was hanging there on a rafter. Nothing but her flannel petti- coat saved her, 'cause she was hanging by her petticoat that had caught on one of those big spikes. If she would have fallen, she shore wouldn't be able to cry like she's doin' now, 'cause that floor in the cellar is solid concrete. You know, I believe, now, that verse is true that says, 'God moves in a mysterious way, His wonders to performf Don't you F Of course, everyone did, as more than one thing had happened that night that was similar to miracles. Chub and the others in her family were to spend the night at the home of a cousin who was her school teacher at that time. As they walked along, the conversation drifted to school subjects and Chub suddenly ex- pressed a bright idea to Mae. Say, Mae, my books are all blown up and I won't be able to find them tomorrow. Don't you think tl1at's a good excuse-for not having my homework?

THE GOLDFINCH JAMES KAMP-June, 1924 Aflash of golden sunlight' 3 A sparkling note at dawng A glimpse of vivid colorg A goldfinch on the lawn. N inety-six TI-IE PURLOINED PIE I jess ROBERTS-June, 1915 ORTUNATELY for others, I have long since discovered that I cannot write stories, short or long, so, to 'I begin with, this is not a short story but rather a short bit of history from my own uneventful life. Since it is true, it is un- assailable and it is with no little pleasure that I herein write without regard for all the things that the English teachers lecture about. For instance, I am the hero of this story. The hero would Hght unto death for a piece of pie. Now, the English teachers will say that such a glutton should be a fat epicure. Let the teachers rave. I am not fat, and on the grounds of standing by the truth, I refuse to let any fat guy take my place as hero of this great adventure. There are other things which are not according to the rules, but I can't help it, as that is the way they actually happened as nearly as my pen can relate. Unlike most high school students, I have had a great deal of experience in boarding- houses, but I have never been able to attain the honor of being a 'fstar boarder. I-Ie is the one who never gets called downv for burning too much gas and who always gets the biggest piece of pie. He is almost with- out exception a rather breezy, unmarried fellow, who makes enough money for two. Nevertheless, I aspired to become the favor- ite, but it seems that I lost from the begin- ning. Jack, the fellow whose place I would usurp, was a college boy with a future. VVhat chances were there for a high school chap? The landlady's daughter passed me up just like that. Do you know that type of landladys daughter? She is a girl who, from her daily contact with fresh guysf, has developed a cutting speech which generally quelches any remarks whatsoever. Any one of this type can simultaneously serve soup with one hand, pass the sugar with the other, kick the cat, and, at the same time, effectively silence some daring individual who has the consummate nerve to mention the coffee and, without changing the subject, refer to the muddy weather. As I said before, in her estimation, I wasn't even small potatoes compared to that college man. However, the landlady herself, who presided over the kitchen, found in me, as the youngest boarder, something which appealed to that vacancy in her heart left by her two sons out in the world. Now this was greatly to the enlargements of my personal comforts. Nevertheless, though the'Mrs. Prunes might cut my portion of the pie at quite a large angle, still Miss Prunes in the capacity of waitress had the power to veto, as it were, and could give the pie to Jack, or in pure spite, to any of the others. This aroused in my heart a silent resentment. VV e were doomed to meet. One morning, at table, jack and I got into an argument about who wrote a certain book and it ended in a bet. The winner was to get the losei-'s piece of pie at dinner next Sunday. The Mrs. caught the spirit and on Sunday morning was to bake a whole pie for the winner. So much she told me when I stuck my head into the kitchen Sunday morning, but Miss Prunes was peevish that day and dropped some very broad hints to the effect that Jack was bound to get the pie. Now jack was out of town that day and the bet could not be settled the follow- ing morning. As I had already secured the data which would prove me the winner, I considered the pie as mine. This gi1'l's despotism was getting beyond human pa- tience. VV ith my inside information I saw a grand opportunity to check it and to win a decisive victory over her presumption. So I became bolder in my remarks and opposed her outright. This brought from her in tones of finality the plain statement that she would eat the pie herself, give it to the dog, or throw it in the alley, before she Ninety-seven would allow it to fall into the hands of such an insignificant scrap of brainless humanity as I happen to be. I retired. At dinner time the pie had been bal-:ed and the news had spread among the boarders that war had been declared. Miss Prunes made remarks of such a nature that it soon became apparent that this was a battle of Man versus VVoman. She was to show the superiority of her sex by winning the fight for the pie. She had seen a movie called The Master Key, in which a girl opposes a villain in a light for a gold mine. The girl wins in the movies and Miss Prunes thought the comparison quite applicable. I sincerely wished I were not the noble representative of men in this great issue, but being in, I determined to win at' all hazards. All my detective instincts were brought into play and my every thought was on how to get the pie into my possession till I could convince Jack on his return that I deserved it. If I could do this, then would I be lauded to the skies in my triumph. The Mrs., trusting neither Miss Prunes nor my- self, had hid the pie in the kitchen till the morrow. Now to get the pie. At an oppor- tune moment, near the end of dinner, when the Mrs. and Miss Prunes had come in to eat with us, I drained my cup. I started to ask for another and the Mrs. made a move to serve me, but I acted as though it hurt my conscience to disturb her and I begged the pleasure of getting it myself. I con- gratulated myself on the successful man- oeuver and once in the kitchen, I looked quickly in the refrigerator and pantry. I couldn't find the pie, and I was taking too long to refill my cup, so with rare presence of mind, I announced to the Mrs. that the coffee was cold and that I would heat it. Thus I gained more time and felt around a high shelf. No pie! I was stalled. The Mrs. became suspicious and stepped into the kitchen. I then tried to think where I would hide it if I had a woman's intellect. and I soon arrived at a conclusion. I sud- denly exclaimed, Oh, look at the shedf, and as she turned to look, I sought under the coal bucket. Foiled again! I was getting Ninety-eight desperate now. Writh no preliminary strate- gism at all, I opened the oven-the pie! It was almost in my hands, when in sailed Miss Prunes, and, angered at my nerve, she took one healthy swing at my nose and landed me in a heap on the iioor. I was impressed with the fact that she had been scrubbing floors these past months while I had been merely pushing a pencil. In chagrin and defeat I withdrew to my room. After some time my nose felt well enough to allow me to think of other methods of campaign and I divined by hearing the player-piano that the coast was clear for the kitchen again. I sought permission to wash a glass in the kitchen, but that was too crude, for Miss Prunes suddenly remembered to feed the cat in the same vicinity. I went upstairs, took off my shoes and softly stole down through the back hall. I searched and searched and Hnally found the precious pie in a box of ribbons behind a trunk in the back hall. A few seconds later I had it in my room, where I could keepit safely. But I was going out that afternoon, and I knew that no means would be spared to rescue the kidnapped pie. Wfhere could I hide it? I remembered one of Poe's short stories called The Purloined Letter, and, acting somewhat on that principle, I wrapped it up and hid it in a waste -basket which stood in plain sight at the top of the stairs. I put a note on the bureau advising the searcher to look into the dictionary. Then I went downstairs and made such boasting over the affair that the Mrs. suspected me and soon discovered the worst. She gave forth a shriek which was followed by a shriller one from the throat of Miss Prunes. Being mindful of my nose, I fled. NVhen I re- turned I found, as I had expected, that my room had been searched. But when I peered into the basket I saw the paper parcel intact and it gave me no little pride. There it was still the next morning, but I managed, however, to assume a very matter-of-fact air as I sat down at the breakfast table. I waited for the subject to be broaclied one way or another, but I was served in a silence which puzzled. In a few minutes jack joined our group, but was careful to retain the weather as the conversational topic. Something was in the air. That was plain. I felt that expectancy which pervades the atmosphere just before the wedding march. And oddly enough, bustling Mr. Smith, the business man who was always in a rush, was this morning sipping his coffee as leisurely as if he were the Count d'0live. I had just managed to switch the conversa- tion to baseball, when the impending hap- pened. Our queenly heronie swept grace- fully into the room and dramatically drew aside a cloth which covered the dish she carried. The pie-there was the pie! I sprang to my feet as if to say something but was so unstrung that I clutched at my chair for support, and words failed me. The ceremonies went on without interruption. Jack, my hero, said the lady, today is the crowning hours of my life. Today! For I was given a task to complete for your dear sake, and today I have the pleasure of set- ting before you, for your approval, the fruits of my endeavors. I have had to fight for this token I now bestow, for Beelzebub himself dared to cross my path. VV hat had happened? Ah !. it dawned upon me! So simple, only a fool could not have seen through it sooner. Miss Prunes had simply found the pie and left the paper arranged as if untampered. She had out- Poed me. I was conscious that jack had risen to acknowledge the gift. They must have rehearsed that presentation. I heard him say, Queen of queens, most beautiful of the beautiful, the honor thou bestowest upon such a humble one as I-how can I express my appreciation. Think not that I had no understanding of the trials that have beset thy path. I have been acquainted of thy vow to deliver this golden pie unto thy humble knight. Posterity shall e'er re- member--. At this juncture the masque yielded to the mirth of the spectators amid prolonged laughter, I sank weakly into my chair. Beaten! Purloined pie-rats! -Oh, why was I such an educated fool? The laughter finally subsided. I pushed back my plate and slowly turned away. As I reached the door I heard a purring feminine voice, Little boy, little boyf' It stabbed like a knife. Ye gods, had the woman no mercy? I had suffered enough soul agonies to satisfy the most revengeful demon-yet she wanted more blood. f'Oh, little boy. I faced her with an effort, for tears of disgrace and defeat were pressing hard. That's mammais nice little boy. Now won't you speak a piece to let us know that you lost ? I guess-I guess you-w-win. My voice broke and I stumbled up the stairs. At the top I paused. Before me, in mock- ery lay the basket which had once contained that cursed pastry. Traitor! In blind wrath I gave it a vengeful kick that sent it rolling. Then-mira-bile dictu-out flapped the pic! I stood dumbfounded, then sat down dazed, to collect my giddy senses. The idea of delirium tremens occurred first, but soon there came light and I perceived how I had been hoaxed. Seizing the pie, I bounded down the steps to prove my victory. Smith was just leav- ing. I dragged him back and shouted for all to come and behold. They Hocked into the room but stood around in such cold apathy in View of my shouts of victory that I stopped my prancing. I grasped Smith entreatingly by the coat sleeve and I held the pie before him. Smith, you're a friend of mine. Honest now, don't I win? Ain't that the pie? Look at it, man! I-Ie finished lighting his cigar and then gazed critically at the object. I-Im, it looks like one, son. lVhat did you pay for it? VVhere were my friends? I sought in vain for a single sign of sympathy. All my faith in men ebbed in a moment. ,Here were examples-the cowards! Their stomachs swayed their intellects, aye, their very mor- als. They would desert the standard of truth, the ties of truest friendship-all for 37 Ninety-nine a few paltry degrees extra in the arcs of their pieces of pie. That men could sink so low! The thought embittered me to the core. Over there, with dishcloth on arm stood the Amazon mistress of the situation. Her triumph -broke out in a leering smile as she- saw me baffled in my attempts to assail her ironbound forces. Leer! VVhat care I? I tossed back my head, threw out my chest, tightened my belt, cut her with a side glance-all just as I had seen it done in the movies-then I stalked out of the room. Let them laugh, aye, and laugh some more. I may slowly starve, I may fade away like a pretty flower on a summers day, but yield to that woman-never! I told my tale to a lawyer friend and ended, Of course, teclmically, it was a great victory for me. He laughed more vigorously than I had expected. Yes, my boy, but you know technically you are a minor. And when it comes to signing contracts, et cetera-now mind, I am speaking in terms of pure technicalities -you are inthe same class with lunatics! Hang it anyway.

One Hundred THE IMPORTANCE OF COLLEGE TO THE GIRL RUTH FRANKLIN-june, 1919 OLLEGE meanslittle to most of us. We realize .that it is a place of learning- an institution for higher education, the dictionary has it- but our knowledge seldom carries us further. As far as its importance to ourselves, and the real spirit and usefullness of its life are concerned, we are ignorant. Our impres- sion wavers between visions of the daring pranks of the story-book college girl and of the eternal grind of study. Of course. we are willing to admit that there we can learn things-formidable ologies and Hogra- phies which, in our vast experience, we declare can have no bearing on our every- day lives. We realize, too, that the college graduate can secure an excellent position immediately after commencement. But, says the business girl, that signifies noth- thingj' and she proceeds to cite numerous instances of the rise of women who have not received degrees. Why waste four years ? she asks. The ambitious girl can advance without such an education and be earning money at the same time. This is true, but the college woman's ad- vantage lies, as James Russel Lowell has said, not in getting something by which she can earn her bread, but in making every mouthful sweeter to her taste. Alice Free- man Palmer, first woman president of a college, has explained very fully the benefits, aside from the commercial ones, to be ob- tained by the girl who throws herself whole- heartedly into the activities of the college life. Some of us find it hard to realize that fun can enter years so crowded with work The realization that happiness lies, not in idleness, but in congenial occupation, is one of the greatest lessons of the college. Strengthened by the companionship of many others whose purpose, occupations and ideals are substantially the same as ours, in a beau- tiful environment, we shall learn the place of work and play in our daily lives and to combine the two so that they become indis- tinguishable from each other. Another great advantage, says Mrs. Palmer, His health. In the college, there is no time for sickness. Life is much too full and interesting. There we shall learn that ill-health is carelessness and discover, under the regular hours that we shall be forced to keep, wholesome food, and the regular exercise, that we are constantly gaining in mental and physical vitality. New and lasting friends are a third boon of college. Because we are thrown among people of all stations of society, political ideas, and creeds, these things will become negligible in our selection of friends. Tn- stcad, we shall he attracted to each other by similar tastes, ideals and ambitions. Then, too, through this association with all kinds of people, we shall form the ability to under- stand another person's point of view and so discover a new interest in humanity. VVC shall learn to appreciate and to form the ideals of personal character, another great gift of college life. Through association with the best scholars we shall gradually form new of life, culture and character. of the age, conceptions The power to see great things large, and little things small is said to be the supreme test of education and it is this that we shall be enabled to gain by observing the char- acters and attitudes of our instructors. The lasting advantages of upright character will be made apparent and this will become a thing for which we are encouraged to strive. The last of these benefits, and the one which Mrs. Palmer considers most im- portant, is that of life interests! Because of these we will become entertaining to our- selves and -interesting and 'attractive to others. We will emerge 'from college with knowledge on a great many subjects which will make the world a much more interesting V One Hundred One place in which to live. Because we will have studied the fiowers and birds, Nature will have a new meaning, and hence, a new enjoyment, for us. Through our studies of History and Economics, we will be able to understand the importance and origin of most of the social and political institutions of the world-we will have gained interest in the affairs of our country and its people. The world of literature, with which we shall have become acquainted, will cause our imaginations to quicken at the suggestion of some familiar phrase and will provide enter- tainment .for idle hoursi The most sordid task will be surrounded by the glamour of the inner beauty which we will acquire. To sum it up, the college provides the lasting things of life to those who are will- ing to work for them. These three great boons await us: H'ealth, wealth, happiness. and, in addition, the equally important ones of friendships and interests. Then for the sake of these advantages, which will make us of use to any community, an inspiration to our friends, and an aid to future genera- tions, let us turn to the college, Hthe foun- tain of perpetual youth-the youth of the spirit. WISHES ESTHER M. 101-INSON-111116, 1917 I wish I'd been a Cave Boy in the Prehistoric Age, Although the dinosaur roamed 'round and wasn't in a cage. W'hen the Cave Boy in the morning took his usual road to school, If he felt hot and weary, he would plunge into a pool. fAnd while he's there, I'll tell you why I envy his lot soy It's a very serious matter, and I think you ought to know. He didn't have to hurry if the hour was getting late: For there wasn't a Miss Carney to make him mend his gait. He didn't have to think about that nickel library fine, And nearly rush himself to death to get upstairs by nine. He had no frightful troubles to disturb his nightly rest, fI'm referring to our custom of observing ten week's testsl. He didn't have to study hard for hours the night before, He didn't have to cogitate on HQSO4. He didn't have to struggle through great Burke's Conciliation , He didnit have to ruminate on problems of a nation. - Translations from the Latin never bothered him at all, He never heard of Caesar and his mighty wars in Gaul. He didn't have to rave about the Babylonian homes, Or fall into a rhapsody on the grandeur that was Rome's. He didn't have to ponder over shirts and socks and ties, And choose a pleasing color scheme to charm his teacher's eyes. No, when the Cave Boy with reluctance left his cool, refreshing pool, He donned his little tiger skin and strolled along to school. More likely when he got there, he'd find upon thedoor, f'The dinosaur has been here and dear teacher is no more. So when I think of all the things he didn't have to do, You don't know how I envy him, by the way, d0n't you? One Hundred Two OF THE SALT OF THE EARTH GERTRUDE LYNN XVALTHISR-june, 1917 H HAT new office boy of yours said you were too busy to seeleven 'a client, but, as Im not in that tr' class, I just blew in. It was not necessary for me to look up to know that my visitor was none other than Sophronia Stubbs. As she herself had said, my old friend Phronie could hardly be called a client. ,She has too much of the milk of human kindness in her nature ever herself to become in- volved in a lawsuit. But in all my years of legal practice I have not had a more loyal supporter than Phronie. Whenever one of her friends-and they are legion, ranging from the poorest on the East Side to the richest in the W'est End-is in need of a lawyer, she never rests until she has landed him at my shop. Phronie is not sensitive about her age and will cheerfully admit to being about fifty years-young. Her own troubles, and more particularly the misfortunes of her friends, have not failed to leave tell-tale lines upon her face. but lines which are softened by the kindly gleam of blue eyes and are almost lost in her genial smile. She is a magnificent figure, tall, commanding, rather masculine. Her suits are always plain and mannish and never by any chance does she wear a hat that is in style. Such trivial things as clothes she affects to scorn, yet I have known her to waste a whole evening helping a young girl friend doll up for a party. For all her matter-of-factness and masculinity, Phronie is really a sentimentalist at heart. 'When I first met her, she was playing the piano in the old Orpheum Opera House. It was while I was working my way through law school, and I used to usher at the Or- pheum in the evenings. In her youth-that is, whenishe was about seventeen-Phronie had taken music lessons for as much as six months and had learned to play the Sack NValtz, The Maiden's Prayer, and The Battle of Praguef' This completed her musical education, and thus equipped, she had undertaken to teach the unsuspecting innocents of the poor district' in which she lived, at twenty-live cents a lesson, also to play the Sack Waltz. Phronie never labored under the delusion that she was a musician, but to her devoted disciples she was ever a genius. After hav- ing, by teaching, created a demand for pianos, Phronie now took to selling them to supply that demand, and, in time, became head-saleswoman of a piano iirm, but that was later. At the time I first met her, she was helping to eke out an existence for her- self and her old father by adding to her pedagogic and .salesmanship activities the thumping of the tin-piano instrument which passed for a piano in the Orpheum orches- tra. She and I often laugh at the thrilling melerdramers we used to see there. The thought of matrimony had never en- tered Phronie's mind-that is, so far as it concerned herself. In respect to other peo- ple, however. she had all the old match- making dowagers and chaperons beaten a mile. lVell, to get back to my story. Phronie breezed in, and after having in- quired minutely into the well-being of each and every member of my family, broached the real object of her visit. She had just had paid to her four hundred dollars, and came to consult me about the investment of it. Funny thing about this money, she in- terrupted in the midst of my explanation of how we ought to invest it-Phronie is feminine in one quality, she will get off the track of the subject in hand- Funny thing. I had kissed this money good-bye a long One Hundred Three time ago. Never thought to see it again. Did you know jim Allen? He was ushering down at the Orpheum the year before you came. I settled back in my chair. VVhen Phronie begins this way, it means a story, and thereis no use trying to stop her. It can't be done. I always did like jimj' resumed Phronie, reminiscently, even thought he wasn't much account. Yet he was honest as daylight and the funniest kid to talk to. If he only hadn't been so darn lazyg He and indolence were twin brothers. The kid was bright enough, but he hated work and life seemed to have cast him for the title role of 'A Fool and His Money Are Soon Partedf Yet, he didn't blow all his money in on himself, mind you. That was the redeeming feature of his weakness. It was only that he and the little penny-in-the-slot savings bank hadn't even a bowing acquaintance. VVell, Jim went along this way for some time, and then-he met the Girl. 'KShe was a sweet little thing, one of my former pupils, and she and Jim fell head over heels in love with each other after their first meeting. For the next few weeks jim nearly drove me crazy with talking about that girl. Every time he'd come near, I knew I'd have to adore the name and listen to the praisesi of Maidie. If it had kept up much longer, I'm afraid I should have EIC- tually come to dislike the child. Of course, after all this, I was able to take it very calmly when Jim came to me, about a month later, and announced that he and lllaidie werelgoing to marry. 'I haven't got a cent to my namef he said, cheerfully, 'but I know that if I had Maidie to encourage me and a little money to get started on, I'd get along all right in no time. You know I never can save a blamed nickel-' One Hundred Four 'No, you can't Iim,' I encouraged. 'But if I once got started-Listen, Phronie, if you'll just lend me four hundred so we can get married and settle down, I'll pay it back within a year's time with in- terest. I swear I will, Phronie. You see, Maidie's father doesn't like me, so if we're going to be married at all, we've got to skip tonight while he's out of town.' Oh, well, what's the use? How could I dash cold water on all that enthusiasm? I knew very well Jim couldn't save a cent and they'd probably be unhappy, but I knew, too, they'd be ten times unhappier if they weren't married, so I took my four hundred from my stocking and told the youngsters to run along and elope with the cash. i'That was twenty years ago. I never heard from the kids after that night. It didn't surprise me, for I knew jim's failing too well, yet-I couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. I Yesterday I received this cheque. It was from Jim Allen, and with it a long letter. He and Maidie had never written because, what with sickness. babies--there were four of them-and misfortunes generally, they had been kept poor, and were ashamed to write unless they could return the money. They have just begun to grow prosperous. The babies are growing up and -here Phronie chuckled delightedly- what do you suppose those two silly youngsters did? Named their first baby, a girl, after me! Imagine the poor child going through life with a name like that tacked to her. Shes eighteen now and looks like her mother, so she must 'be pretty. Say, come to think of it. you needn't bother about that investment. just make out -a bond for her with the money. It might sort of compensate her for having to he a 'Sophroniaf Phronie added, apologetic and a little ashamed. LIFE IN THE. PORTABLES ROBERT FISHER-June, 1919 -,ii HEY were more intimately known ix! L as is 53,5 as' The Dog Houses, an appro- iyg' priate appellation bestowed upon them by an admiring public. VVhen viewed from a distance, they could easily have been mistaken for the residences of some pampered Canaries. On closer observa- tion, however, they appeared more like hideous monsters fattening upon a diet of small children, a ludicrous aspect produced by the arrangement of the doors and win- dows, together with a pronounced bulging of the sides. This effect was further height- ened by the bird yellow and grass green tints applied to the door and window frames by the master hand of the janitor. The chimney of one room slanted crazily to one side, giv- ing the structure a waggish look. In the yard at the rear of the buildings was a long trough, upon which stood a half dozen wooden buckets. Out of these, children. dogs, and other animals quenched their thirsts. These receptacles had a clumsy way of tumbling off the trough and drenching children who handled them too carelessly. The buildings and equipments were grow- ing old, and, as is often the case with the aged, had many eccentricities, some of which I vividly remember, especially one little trick of the furnace in No. 12. The pupils are sitting quietly at their desks, when suddenly there comes a loud creaking and rumbling. The teacher, quite used to the symptoms, rises quietly, and says, Stand! Get your wraps. The manoeuvre is carried out with the quickness and precision which is the result of long training. The pupils are soon standing near the door with an air of great expectancy. XfVith a loud roar, the furnace belches forth an enormous cloud of black smoke, which quickly fills the room. The janitor is sent for and the windows opened. A-fter a time, the smoke all passes away, the children file in, and all is quiet again. Who knew how soon the experience would be repeated? The janitor of the institution was a man of superior abilities, for, aside from pushing a broom, he had followed the professions of minister and physician. His practice of the latter had come to a sudden and untimely end by some neighborhood jokesmith's fast- ening his trade sign upon the cemetery fence. His name was something like Griller. He was usually attended by a mob of small boys hooting, Griller, the Duck Killer! Griller, the Duck Killer. They were always rewarded by a look of supreme contempt from this dignified official. ' At last came news of the building of a new school and vague rumors of a spanking machine worked by steam. Then, after a long period of waiting, we saw the portables taken apart piece by piece, and hauled away to grace some other growing community. One Hundred Five WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY SCI-IGLARSI-IIP AWARDS OR many years Washington Univer- sity has been a powerful .force m the life of St. Louis. VVh1le many ' may have been unconscious of its influence, they have, none the less, been touched by it, for its effect has been the gradual raising of our intellectual life. VV e all should feel indebted to it though we our- selves may never have entered its doors. Gertain former Yeatman High School pupils have particular reason to feel warmly grateful to it, for they have been the re- cipients of four-year scholarship given them by the University. These fortunate stu- dents, it is true, in a measure earned the honor by offering the University at the time of their graduation from High School the highest scholarship records in their re- spective classes, but they would be the first to acknowledge their deep indebtedness to a generous University. In the closing days of Yeatman, when we are reviewing its achievements, we like to think of the thirty-nine students who have been so honored and who have in almost every case carri-ed on in the University their records of high scholarship. The following are the names of those people: June 1906 Lloyd Faidley jan. 1907 August Nolte june 1907 Jan. 1908 June 1908 One Hundred Six Hyman Ettlinger Edna Sauerbrunn Louise VV enzel Jan. 1909 June 1909 Jan. 1910 June 1910 Jan. 1911 June 1911 Jan. 1912 June 1912 jan. 1913 june 1913 jan. 1914 June 1914 Jan. 1915 june 1915 Jan. 1916 June 1916 Jan. 1917 June 1917 Jan. 1918 june 1918 jan. 1919 .Tune 1919 jan. 1920 .Tune 1920 Jan. 1921 June 1921 Jan. 1922 june 1922 jan. 1923 June 1923 jan. 1924 June 1924 Jan. 1925 June 1925 Clarissa Brockstedt Adele Seifert Fred Griffith Elmer Niemoeller Florence Sisler Ben Goldstein Florence Wuensch Marguerite Raeder Alf red Goldman Lucille Bishop Helene Buss Herman Dacus Carla Gewe Clara Hopmann Adele Shea Theodore Braun VValter Goldman Raymond Schuermann Edna Rasmussen Velora Buscher Henry Stauss - Major Neely V era Oberschelp Grace Oberschelp Virginia Horn Lucille Ryan Leanora Reilly Cyril McBryde Frederick Hageman Adrienne Stoeppelman Roma Schaefer Alice Birr Mildred Helmholt Matthew B I cCauley YEATIVIAN LIFE STAFF fHelen Butler L- , . , S jBeatrice Glutz ltelmb tag l Bernice Glutz IM ary I .

BUTLER OR a year after Yeatman High School started its long, useful career, it had no school journal of any sort. Then in 1905 the students began to publish a tiny paper of their own. They chose Yeatman Life forlits name. Their purpose was to mirror the life of the school in its magazine. How well the name applies, and how true the mirror has been! The clubs had the privilegeof presenting their interests to the student body: the field of athletics was always given a prominent place: senior and new senior affairs were admitted recognitiong even the Locals were Yeatman's own. The magazine has been the students' very own even from the first issue ever printed. In fact, Ernest Reeves, the first editor, produced the magazine with- out the aid of a faculty sponsor. At that time Life was published nine times a year, once every month.during the school term except September. The cost was Eve cents a copy or forty cents a term subscription. This price plus the advertise- ment income was not sufficient to meet the needs of the paper, and before long it was in debt. At the beginning of 1907 Mr. Goddard was made the first sponsor of Life. He held this position for a time and then Miss Jeff- rey became sponsor and has continued so. After trying for two more years to pub- lish nine issues a vear, it was decided that Tit would be wise to! reduce the publication to five issues a year. Finally in 1914, Life was published as it now is, once a term. Yeatmanites, both past and present. do you realize the effort that has been expended unstintingly for your enjoyment ever since 1905? Do you know of the hours that the Staff and first Mr. Goddard and then Miss jeffrey have spent searching out something new and different for you? Do you know of the long hours of tiresome proofreading and messy paging so that Life might be more perfect for you? Oh, if Life is dear to the average Yeat- manite because it is the story of his High School days, it is doubly dear to the mem- bers of the Staff, because they could give the school a good history! Members of the Staff have always been able to be proud of their production, and they have always been devoted to its best interests. If the Staff has always given its best for Life. they have also received the best which Life C that word is used in a double ca- pacityl can give them. Those who have been away from the school long enough have proved the truth of the old song which tells us Give to the world the best that you have, and the best will come back to you. They gave their best to their high school world when they gave it Yeatman Life. In return, they have received valuable lessons One Hundred Seven in patience, perseverance, self-expression, initiative, carefulness of minute details, busi- ness management, co-operation. and loyalty. With these qualities, they have gone out into a la1'ger world, and by their training, they have, without exception, forced it to yield them success. In this success of the older folks, we may foretell the success of the younger graduates who must, by virtue of their training, make a success of their lives in the world outside. After all, Life was not primarily for the Staff, but for the entire school. It has been for each one of you. Some day, years from now, when you come across old copies of Life, look them over, and see if they don't bring back to you as few other things can, a complete picture of the happiest days of your life. Then, perhapsyyou will shed a tear for old comrades who have goneg then, perhaps, you will smile tenderly at some once familiar scene: then, you may understand some seemingly crabbed teacher. If Life does this for you, dear Y eatmanites, we will feel that it has been truly yours. At such a time as this when Yeatman and Yeatman Life must so soon go out of ex- istence, may we plead with you for an occa- sional hour of reminiscence? May we ask only that you remember the glory that was Yeatman and the grandeur that was Life. And when like her, O Saki, you shall pass Among the guests, star-scattered on the grass, And in your joyous errand reach the spot VV here I made one-turn clown an empty Glass Tamam. -Rubaiyaf.. YEATMAN HIGH SCHOOL VVILHUR N. FULLER cornerstone of the James E. 531 Yeatman High School was laid in IQOZ, but -because of labor condi- c tions during the VVorld,s Fair period, it was not ready for occupancy until One Hundred Eight The site consists of September, 1904. 147,771 square feet, and occupies the block bounded by Garrison, Glasgow, Palm and Natural Bridge. It was a part of the old Lindell Amusement Park, and when com- pleted the School was the only structure in the neighborhood. The building is four stories high, and contains thirty-six class rooms and six shops and laboratories. It is constructed to hold approximately eight hundred and Hfty students. The school was named after James E. Yeatman, a' Saint Louisan, who was loved by his associates for his fine character and great interest in his community. The original faculty consisted of twenty- eight teachers under the supervision of Doc- tor John W. Witliers. During the first year the building housed the Teachers College as well as the high school. At the end of the first year the Teachers College was transferred to the Harris Teachers College, which was completed at that time, and Doctor VVithers became the head of the new college. George Platt Knox, who was Assistant Principal. took Doctor VVithers' place. The school gradually increased in size and was under Mr. Knox's supervision for five years. He was succeeded by John Rush Powell. the present principal of Soldan High School. In 1912 Williani M. Butler became head of the school and held the position for eleven years. Mr. Butler was succeeded by the present principal, 'Wilbur N. Fuller, who has been a member of the school faculty since the school was opened. The student body has increased in num- ber until it now numbers approximately hfteen lulndred. , T wenty-four thousand and one hundred students have been registered in the school, and twenty-four hundred and seventy have graduated. ' In spite of its twenty-one years of constant use by both day and night school classes, the building is in excellent condition and will serve for many years to CO1116. .

To think that when we were New juniors we thought that we would never reach our seventh term. Uh. we knew we would get there some time, but we also. knew that it would take three years. Three long years ahead of us! Wlhy, it seemed more like ten years. Now when we look back, our New Junior days seem to have been only yes- terday. So far, our term has been a very happy one. The class selected good officersg we have a peppy advisor, and a class that is second to none. Could one expect our term to be anything but successful? There's one thing more which is of great importance and which we would like to have you knowg we may be the first class to graduate from Beaumont, and we may form the first alumni of it. We therefore, con- sider ourselves individually honored, for we may help establish new ideals and new cus- toms in Beaumont. s-4+-4 ' ' - One Hundred Ten THE STUDENT COUNCIL FOOTBALL PETER BRAROE OOTBALL! Capitalize, italicize 'its letters. Do anything to emphasize its importance to the scholastic life ' I of a nation. Minimize them in so far as that degree of consequence has ex- tended to Yeatman. Factors that made this state of affairs inevitable are as follows: To be a born football player is, in the main, a fallacious phrase. But that a community-or the youth of a community-can possess-a bred-in-the- bone spirit for the sport is undeniable. Is North St. Louis, of which Yeatman High School is the center, of course pervaded with thatintensity of thought? The an- swer, tersely and emphatically, No, em- bodies the chief reason why Yeatman has never won a gridiron championship. Not that the small groups that in the past have turned out have not held that attitude indi- vidually. They have been fighting, ener- getic teanis. But more is necessary-the entire school must support them, and think and talk football. The North Side boys have always turned with avidity to baseball and soccer, meeting with no little success in those games. Until very recent years football was almost un- known as a practical means of recreation in this section. Then, too, of the St. Louis high schools, Yeatman has always had the smallest student body from which to recruit players. and the average age at graduation has been the lowest by one or two years. Indeed, for its own protection it became necessary several years ago that it should urge a suitable age limit for athletics. Following is a general chronology of the teams that have fought under the Blue and Gold. In the fall of 1904, the infant Yeat- man first contested its elder rivals in foot- ball, under the direction of Peter Pease. It entered the Inter-scholastic League, which, One Hundred Twelve -January, 1928 besides Central, McKinley, Smith Academy, and other teams in St. Louis, included the VV'estern Military School at Alton, Illinois. Mr. Pease coached the team for another year. Then, for three seasons it was under the supervision of Mr. 'Wilbur N. Fuller. From the history of that period, it ap- pears that either the games were excessively brutal or that the Board of Education was particularly careful, for in 1908 a ban was placed on a high school league. Games were thereby rendered impossible, because the team could not be financed under that con- dition. In 1911 Wfestern left the league be- cause of its remote location, and the organi- zation was thereon called the St. Louis Inter-scholastic League . In 1912 Soldan kindly granted a game fthe first in three yearsj to a group of Yeatman boys who had been practicing without a coach. The act of courtesy proved disastrous-for Sol- dan. Score 35-O! The present High School League was formed in 1913, and in that 'year the Blue and Gold put forth an excellent team taught by John Mosley, who at the same time played quarterback for VVashington. 123-0! That tremendous score Cleveland piled up against us in 1914 while a teacher ,who knew little or nothing of football was coach. The effects of the bad football the team learned that year required the next season to wear off. The following year marked the inaugura- tion of Mr. Stanley Hill's long coachship. VV ith his advent the game received a really definite place in the school. Our best sea- sons under him were in 1917 and 1920. when we were runners-up. At his retirement in 1923, Mr. R. C. Lewis, who had been assist- ant coach in that year, took his place, and the fact that it has been ably filled needs no comment. ' FOOTBALL SQUAD 1925 The 1925 football season entered like the proverbial exit of March from the calendar, and departed thricefold in the manner of its entrance. An early start was given the sport by Coach Lewis, fondly termed by the newspapers, The VVater Tower Mentor , and Captain Charles Ens. The squad went through a vigorous practice that culminated in the engagement with McBride. Therein we drew first blood, albeit the last also, and the victory gave us visions of success.. The touchdown in the 7-O score was made by Andy Gump, and Smith dropkicked the goal. The game was hardily fought, but served to display a number of faults which needed urgent attention. In passing we might mention that McBride finished second in the St. Louis Preparatory League. On October 13th we played the Principia Cadets. Not so good! The score of 13-0 can be attributed in part to our alarming lack of condition that was made evident in the second half, after a brilliant first half in which our chances looked bright. XV e met Roosevelt in the first league game on October 24th. Result 0-O. The out- standing Haw in this meeting was an uncer- tain line. The backtield showed fairly well. Wie lost to Cleveland by 14-0 in a game very closely contested. The enemy scored in the first and third quarters. Several times we approached the goal, once to the one- yard line, and were held there for four downs! Likewise, the team proved a stone- wall to Cleveland when it came exceedingly closeg with four tries from the six-inch line they failed to score! The following Saturday's encounter was postponed because of wet grounds so that our next game was with Central. Again we lost a hard-fought game at 16-O. The kick- ing and receiving of Cameron, the star end, played a large part in our defeat. Although our offense threatened at times, Central, on the whole, outplayed Yeatman. The game with Soldan will be long re- membered as the classic of the season. VVith tremendous odds against us. the newspapers One Hundred Fourteen predicted slaughter. How the team C0nt1'a- dicted the tale is history. The headlines of the morning paper aptly tells the tale: Re- juvenated Y eatman Team Holds Powerful Soldan to 13-84Score. The team that took the field on that day was not a team tuned for defeat. Possessed of a grim determina- tion, it shook the foundations of Soldan's prestige. It earned one touchdown, a break of the game gave it the other. In the last quarter, Korkoian so tackled a Soldan back that he dropped the ballg Spuering got it. outdistanced his pursuers and made our touchdown. VV'ith the game rapidly drawing to a close, and the pigskin near the enemy's goal, Soldan committed a play of excellent strategy, though disastrous to our chances. Their quarterback touched the ball over his own line thus making a safety, and so kept the ball on the twenty-yard line until the game ended. The boys who made letters are Charles Ens, Red Smith, Andy,' Gump, Bill Mueller, Russel Steffans, Ronald Horr, Dick Spuering, Irish Neil. Otto Rost, Leland Beider, Ray Noller, Herman Puls. Ray Cooper and Vince' Fehringer. In the back- field, Ens, as Captain, piloted the team skill- fully, and was an exceptionally accurate passer. Smith excelled in, all phases of the game. His worth last year was recognized in the choice of the St. Louis High School All-star team. This season he has been selected for the same position fhalfbackl, and it is a certainty that he deserves the honor. He played every minute of all the games. This has been the second year of football for Gump and Horr. They, with Mueller and Steffans, for whom it was an initial season, have shown great ability at ball carrying and excellent team work. As each has two more years here, they with experience will doubtless become phenom- enal. The ends, Spuering and Neil, have played an excellent game, particularly in de- fensive work. Neil has another year. On the line, in which the improvement game by game has been most marked. the men have shown commendable light. Binder and Cooper have earned letters for the second VE' Pxl 6 15 6 QQ A , A A ' ... .

Give due credit to our baseball teams that have so faithfully worked. From the be- ginning Y eatman has been well represented in baseball, so well represented that at no time did any individual find it necessary to be ashamed of his team. VVe have been champions three times and other times we have finished close to the top. At no time was the name Yeatman at the bottom of a final baseball standing. Is this not some- thing to praise? Though the school may die, we as true Yeatmanites should make our Baseball History live. EATMANITES! Take your hats In 1905 Yeatman put forth its best efforts for the purpose of getting a real baseball team. As this was the Hrst attempt for the new school, Yeatman, many difficult prob- lems lay before them. A coach, Peter Pease, was obtained. The hardest problem to solve was a place of practice. After much con- sideration, a field at Florissant and Queens Avenues was obtained. The Coach put forth his best efforts as did the team and, through hard work, they won most of their games, but they did not win the pennant. The In- terscholastic games at this time were played at Kulage's Park on Newstead Avenue. The following year Coach Pease was not at Y eatman, so Mr. Frank Crippen, a teacher now at Central, took up the task. He worked very hard with the team for several years, and he succeeded in 1912 in winning a championship. Yeatman also played for the state championship at Colum- bia, Mo., but lost to a team from Kansas City. lVhen Coach Crippen left us, after several years of faithful service, Mr. Har- vey McCloskey became coach. His untiring efforts were greatly appreciated, though they clidn't win the championship. In 1916 our present coach, Mr. Hill, took over the role. In his nine years of coaching he has piloted teams to the top twice, a fact which shows that he won for us our share of pennants. In 1918 a team captained by Leo Shanley was victorious. In 1923 a team whose captain was Mal Stremmel won the pennant. VV e should, therefore, take off our hats to these coaches for the success that they have made of Yeatman baseball and we should especially credit Coach Crip- pen and Coach Hill for piloting teams to the top. Through these many years of baseball, these various coaches have seen results of their efforts not only in the High School League. but in all other branches of base- ball. They have seen that their knowledge of the game was taught to their players and that they were able to advance far beyond the uncoached lad. Especially in college, Yeatman fellows have become baseball stars. I will try to bring back to you some of Yeat- man's stellar players in this brief account. The first catcher, Armond Droste, will be remembered by those who saw him play, for his untiring efforts and his fighting spirit. Much credit is due him for the success of the first team. One of the early captains was Harry Pfeiffer, who played outfield in the big leagues for some time. Herbert Leo pitched for Yeatman. Later he went to Illinois University, where he pitched for that team. He was one of the two that won letters in five different branches of athletics. Kamp was the other. Wfalter Pierce was a catcher who played when the well-known Muddy Ruel caught for Soldan. It may be well to note that we beat them. Pierce, after service in the war, pitched for Washington University and he was also captain there. Two brothers who became popular be- One Hundred Seventeen - .T 'if' 3, 3: 5 ! . p Ji.. cause of the baseball abilitypwere Connor and Leo Shanley. Connor wasa pitcher of wonderful ability. Leo was a first-sacker who was captain in 1918, when Yeatman won the pennant. After starring in the High School circles, he went-to W'ashing4 ton University and there he became a stellar first-baseman. He captained W'ashington to many victories. 'I Louis Magualo soon followed the foot- steps of Leo Shanley. 'He played a wonder- ful game in the outfield for Vtfashington, as he did for Yeatman. Captain -Magualo was an outstanding player of the Missouri Valley circle. 1 ' Elmer Shewe was a fellow player of Magualo on both teams. He played quite a spectacular game at second-base. Eagle Klausner and Bohn Hannegan, catcher and first-baseman, respectively, played together at St. Louis, University, where they won quite a name as ball players. Mal Stremmel and Harvey Albrecht, bat- tery mates of a few years ago, were players of first-class ability. Mal was our Captain in 1923, when he won the championship. Pat was forcedpto quit school in the mid- dle of his High School ca1'eer, but .soon after quitting he became a member of the Boston American League, where he stayed for some time. A ' ' Last but not least comes Wallie Roett- ger. Nearly everyone has either- seen or heard of 'Wklallief' About five years ago he was the High School sensational pitcher. One Hundred Eighteen In one game he fanned twenty-two batters. H'is strike out record was exceptional. After his High School career ended in great fashion, he went to Illinois University, where he became Captain, but owing to some accident off the diamond, he was un- able to pitch. He then played second-base and outheld, where he played in first-class style. He became very popular with local fans in North St. Louis when he played Muny League ball. He is now playing in a professional league. An incident in the winning of the 1918 championship worth mention is the hitting of one red-headed sub. In the last game, which was to decide the pennant, Yeatman was trailing 4-2 in the last half of the ninth inning. There were two out and men on second and third bases. Coach Hill called together the cells of his brain that make up his board of strategy and after serious con- sideration called on Red VVellman, a slow, little red-head to pinch-hit. He stood up to the plate and swung. W'ell, after the dust was cleared from the home plate. the score was 5-4 in favor of Yeatman. Good judgment, Coach! Good work, Red ! W'hen we look back over the pages of our baseball history, we should give due credit to those that helped to make it such a success. Not only should the coaches and stars receive credit, but also the substitutes. lt was the untiring eiforts and interest of the game that kept our teams together, so that they were able to establish as good a record as they did.

Josties has long been a factor in city tournaments, and the com- bination of Drewes and Josties in doubles has achieved marked success. In the twelve years that the Inter- scholastic League has been in existence, Yeatman has won six championships and lost only five. ln 1925 the r tournament was not bv 4 hnished on account of C-if K K the reign of Jupiter f Pluvius.

Si In na short time the winter will li,-S' arrive. It has served its purpose. Indeed, out in the world are those who have profited by its logic and with the weapon it has given them are able to iight the battle of life. March 16, 1905, has been set down in the track annals of Yeatman as the beginning of a brilliant career on the cinder path and in the sand pits for the teams representing this school. On this date, a relay team of four men under Coach Fuller, our present prin- cipal, paved the way to fame for others by a victory over McKinley's and St. Louis University H'igh's teams. The trophy for this race was Yeatman's first. There is more, however, to the tale than this. Mc- Kinley High School had been opened in january, 1904, and Yeatrnan in September of the same year. This condition caused the Mcliinleyites to state that they did not wish to run against babies. McKinley called her team a team of men. The victory .was so easy for Yeatman that McKinley decided never again to be beaten by babies. This race caused the spirit of keen rivalry against each other and it continued to the last foot- ball game between Yeatman and Roosevelt, which ended in a scoreless tie. The other victory netted Yeatman her second cup and was won by the same relay team: H. Nelson, Stocke, Curran, and Droste. In 1907 another relay team gained an envied reputation by its victories. These four men were A. Nelson, a great broad jumper and sprinterg Haydock, who later gained honors in the 4405 Crawford, a burly weight man, and Culberson, a miler who smashed all city records for the indoor mile in the short time of 4 minutes and 50 sec- onds in 1909. ln 1909, VVarren Brown established the hitherto unheard-of mark of 123 inches in the pole-vault. Later at Missouri University Brown set a new Missouri V alley mark in this event. He is new president of the St. Louis Mizzou Alumni Club. Oliver Reller, a crack dash man. was turned out at Yeat- man the same year. He displayed unusual ability in the sprints, and, after leaving our halls, he became track captain at Cornell, where he tied the world's record for the hundred-yard dash and furlong. In 1910, another super pole-vaulter made the coaches of St. Louis High Schools sit up and take notice. This human airplane. named Sosna, attained the record shattering height of 132 inches, a mark which has never been approached in St. Louis prep circles before or since. The years 1911 and 1912 seemed to be consumed in the making of champions and in .1913 two records were set which still remain intact. At this time the league was reorganized and all records were abolished. Teas set a mark for his followers to attempt to break when he hurled the discus 109 feet and 11 inches. The record was never threat- ened and stood until the event was abolished in 1916. Brazil chalked up a victory inthe pole-vault with a vault of 123 inches.QThis record stood for ten years. 5' 'ijg' The year 1914 is set down as a stellar one in Y eatman's review of seasons. The team that year brought the sedond point junior cup to the trophy case.

This record was not broken until 1921. Bert also set the present junior high jump record of 65 inches. Liston, who had acquired two second' places the year before, tied the furlong record of 24.3 sec- onds. Nesbit tied the junior 50 record of 5.8 seconds. Asikainen, a wonder at speed and endurance, proved himself a real distance man when he set a new mile record of four One Hundred Twenty-three rs 1 if ,e- , 'S ? 4 'A ff , A. ' '.

In 1915, Yeatman experienced another record-breaking season. Booles tied the cen- tury record of 10.4 seconds. Bert Cox lost a special 220 to Loren Murchison by a nose, besides establishing a new broad jump mark in the senior division of 21 feet, ZZ- inches. The Seniors brought home the third point cup, while the juniors brought a first point one. In 1916, Bailey tied Asikainen's broad jump record and jumped 22 feet, IM inches, to fame. Crawford. a mighty weight man, heaved the 12-pound shot 48 feet 9 inches, the present record. Ninteen-seventeen was an uneventful year. In 1918, Herbert Leo, a gigantic field man, tossed the 12-pound shot to a victory, coming within a -few inches of Crawford's mark. The year 1921 marked the close of Yeat- man's record breaking. At this time, jim- mie Holland, one of the best walkers this city has ever seen, established a junior mark of two minutes. eight seconds, in the 880 that will probably stand a long time. Dutch Mueller also set a record that will be hard to break when he ran the 220 in 22.4 seconds. In 1922, Yeatman failed to show. In 1923, however. a ponderous shot putter named VValter Ficht forgot himself and threw the twelve-pound shot so far that it was lost. They removed a few bushes and a pile of lumber in the finals, lest he should forget himself again. XfVesley Nail ran the midget hurdles within a fraction of the record. In 1925, Yeatman's midgets surprised everybody by losing to Soldan's midgets on a third of a point. In this meet, Howard Zulauf nosed Eddie Heilman out of first place and took the dust off the record. Dan Hochstadt also stood out well when he broke the junior pole vault record. It did not stand, however, as the judges decided it unofficial. johnny Frederickson in the sen- ior division and Umbeck in the juniors, proved themselves past masters in the art ,, ,A-,...................-.... , , .V Q Y ,H- of high jumping by tying for first honors in their class. This, however, is history. a :a: ek Let us now turn a page in life and look into the future to Y eatman's share in teams which will henceforth go under the name of Beaumont. Of course, the first thing to be found in this narrative of what is to be will be the captain. Red Smith he is calledg also Bud fthe latter by feminine admirersj. Red is noted for four thingsg first, his bashfulnessg second, his nerveg third, his speed g and last, but not least. his shock of auburn hair. He is one of the best broad jumpers in the interscholastic league. His mainstay, how- ever, is the double furlong. In this he stands alone. The same indomitable spirit which twice distinguished him as an all-star inter- scholastic halfback enables him to put every ounce of his energy into this hardest of races. His ability as leader should make him one of our best captains. There are more Reds on our team. Probably the best of these and one of the most valuable men on the team is john Thompson. This lad is a running fool and has less sense in the broad jump, He is probably the equal of the immortal Bert Cox in the jumps and may assert his ability as another Mueller in the furlong, where he has a field to himself, inherited from Charles Eames. the Greek god, on last year's team. It would not be a surprise for john to collect two records in Beaumont's inaug- ural season. He has proved his ability in the jumps when he set a city record for prep schools in the indoor standing broad jump. This was by a phenomenal leap of t--e-n feet. H'e is known in his neighbor- hood as the flying redhead. Andy Gump will be seen again on the cinder path next year. He was deprived of a junior century record last year because of ineligibilityf He is a wonderful pole vaulter 'NOTE: Ineligibility is tried only once in Yeat- man. A long. thin. tough board in the hands of a half-dozen letter-men turns even the most consistent flunker against that pastime. One Hundred Twenty-five F3 , ge j ff'-ri ue' fy X , Af?

' A third CZl.l'1'0l'-l10p is Gilbert VV'agner. It seems that a red-headed boy must make his feet move fast on the cinders. VVagner ran in the 220 last year and made a good show- ing in spite of his size. It is hoped and expected that Wlagner will make some of the big boys look sick and show them that the bigger they come the harder they fall. Peter Braroe is a necessary element on the track field. He is still a Junior and has been practicing diligently at the weights for some time. lVe hope to see him turn the tide of his bad luck to that of good luck. Now we are confronted by another obsta- cle-to other schools! This one is one of those speedy red-headsg Red Fischer by name, He is a furlong threat of unlimited ability and we hope that as he climbs to a Senior berth he will settle down to real, hard work in the keener competition encountered here, so that his speed will be brought out to its best. One of the brightest things we have to look forward to in the coming season is the running and pole vaulting of Hochstadt. artist, swimmer, fancy diver, gymnast, pian- ist and what not. Dan can do practically anything and has an assortment of medals to prove it. VVe expect that-since he is still a junior-he will break the records Andy Gump should have set. Dan shows preference to the century and is better than best in this race. Red-heads inherit speed and elasticity. So it is with Red Baumer. This man, under the tutelage of Brodage. collected a few points for Yeatman and a letter for himself in the finals, when he forced the teacher to his best eHorts to displace the pupil in the Junior 50. Among all these speed kings is Brodage. This lad, recently aged to the Senior'shelf, is promising fame to himself and to Beau- mont by his past work in the pits and on the cinders, Brodage, last year's Junior cap- tain. is a tow-headed youth who has broken the Junior 50-yard dash record three times in practice meets. He was Yeatman's high point in the finals with two second places. One in the fifty and one in the broad jump, where he threatens all the seasoned Senior jumpers. If the school could turn out more Smiths and Brodages. who could foretell what the future might hold? A sixth red-head on our team is an excep- tion. Unlike the others, he chooses the weights and the middle-distance. He runs the 880 equally as well as the 440 and is a comer in the 12-pound shot. This is Harold Rosenthal, Rosie, a good all-round man. As successor to johnny Frederickson we find john Umbeck, a quiet, bashful boy without a threatening exterior, but when one sees his long limbs get into action he sees something like a miracle. John soars into the air and clears the flimsy bamboo by a good margin, leaving the spectator gaping. Then. to prove that it wasn't an accident, he does it again with the stick a little bit higher. VV e have high hopes in this humanized air- plane. ' A seventh red-head is little Red Thomp- son, an untried dark-horse. Judging from his'brother's performance, however, it would seem that he has the makings of a cham- pion: judging from looks-he is a miniature of his brother. Davison, an overgrown sheik, will always be too young to be a Senior: he is a hard worker and a sticker. No one ever knows what he will enter, and coach uses him as a sort of decathlon expert. George has per- fect form in running and is one of those who is out every night of the season to return to the shower with 'lthat tired feel- ing which comes from doing one's best. Now we return to Eddie Heilmann, the midget captain. He ran the hurdles last year and made the coveted HY over the difficult obstacles. He is a real performer on the cinder road to fame which he has traveled with great speed. He was a good choice for captain as he handled this department very well. He is also a coming star in the shot put and pole-vault. Heilmann is not alone on the hurdles. He has an associate. Howard Zulauf, who took first place in this event last year at the Fran- One Hundred Twenty-seven . ....,-...... ,..................................,...H................. ...........................-.-.........,.........,... gum.: . gl, , g:v:,.- Yi .

This lad is a good hurdler who developed in one season. He is also a note- worthy high jumper, besides being good for other jobs in track and Held. Ed Schnieder, like Red Smith, is a fighter. He will try anything once. He tried track and became a letterman in the gruelling 880. He knew less about the 880 than he did about track when he mme out! In the big meet he went in with the odds against him and came out with a HY on his sweater and a ticket to the lettermen's din- ner. Schnieder is a good, in fact, an excep- tional. furlong runner. He is a real all- round man and has proven himself better than good in every track event. Haunschild is a sticker and his chosen distance is the SSO, where he shows promise of following in the footsteps of that per- fect athlete. joe Holland, Red Smith's pre- decessor as captain. He is well fitted for a distance runner and may be induced to try his ability in the mile, a field that is not overcrowded. The team has another sticker in the person of Korkoian. VVhen this husky youth fin- ishes a race. everyone knows that he has given all he has to his team and his school. His preference is the 440, the hardest of races. He also makes a c1'editable showing in tossing the 12-pound shot. Harold Mayor is another double-furlong runner. Although he has never tried any Held events before, it is rumored that he may surprise us in the broad or high jump. Mayor is also a good furlong runner and may take this event instead of the 440. Gehring, who has become a Senior. is an old letter-man. He has the enviable power of unleashing a powerful sprint at the end of a 220 which very often wins the race for him. Lloyd Kung is a double threat man. Kelly will have a run for his money to keep this big runner behind him on the sticks. The chinless WOI1ClC1'i, will have his hands full to vault higher than this man, who is an excellent support to the team at any time. Steffan and jones are as inseparable as the Siamese Twins. These two boys, as One Hundred Twenty-eight unlike as any two human beings can be, are always found entered in the same event. jones is always dividing first place honors with Stetfan in the races and they run any- thing up to the 880. jones excells his side kick in the broad jump, however, while Stetfan proves that a powerful frame in conjunction with a skilled set of muscles may put a shot out to a great distance. Herbie Schmidt is still a Junior and we see no reason why he shouldn't cop a first in the junior 50 next year. He was displaced by Brodage and Beumer last season, who had every advantage over him, but he should now lead his field to the tape. Streck is another boy who deserves credit for his work last season. He distinguished himself in the broad jump and sprints with a worthy competitor in Senne. These fel- lows should come through with excellent performances next year. Shultz took second place in the midget broad jump last year and will, no doubt, better his performances in the junior divi- sion this year. He is no piker when it comes to sprinting and we expect him to offer competition to the best that the other schools can offer. Eslinger is an all-round midget. He has shown up well in both the high jump and 50 and will alone will tell whether he can keep up his good work with the juniors. Now for the students-the future students at Beaumont. In all of this history of a brilliant existence enjoyed by Y eatman, there were only two times that a really enthusi- astic student-body turned out to see its team perform. The few men mentioned in this description that will return next year form a winning team by themselves, but we will have many, many more men to choose from at Beaumont. Could not the new student- body at the new school support its team in a new way? Think it over and let the teams of Yeat- man, alias Beaumont. be proud of their student-body for the first time. Now I will endeavor to say something about our sterling coach, Mr. R. C. Lewis. . -..,.,..,,.,.,,...,,...,......., ......,,.... .... ...,..,........,.. .... ....-.....................,....-,........... ... ,...............,.........-.-...,.. ...........--......-.,-....,......-..........................,......,,,..... ---'sw ,a v:1y:za- :.- s . .ag Aa:::f,r::,:.'.::::x::e:1:':. ::::,.xru.L:.::.:::rr::rs:mar.:-L':-::-::.:r:::r.':-:i':::::::.1-nm-.-..:n-r::::.:z.:::::2L:'5 ta- , ' 2 id --'- . , f ,. . ,. .., ...f -,fs .-. , as -s . , . -. f gs, 1 53 i ,2 :ze asa: .43 f-5: ..:g. fa '1?ZJ5,1v?

He has undreamed of pep and enthusiasm, which he puts to a good use in coaching. It is through him that the fellows get their fight and spirit to win. He sets laws at the begin- ning of a season and they are respected and obeyed. These simple words cannot tell a mere fraction of the appreciation we have for him, but I am sure he will know what we mean. We would like to see him with P. S. Last, but not least fjust politej, there is a fellow on the team named Burton Kelly. Besides being the school's best gymnast, he is a wonderful track and all-round man. He can do anything, but he specializes in the high hurdles and broad jump. He stretches his Apollo-like limbs over the high sticks in a manner which indicates that he is the next champion. He is speed personified and has perfect form. He is also used to coming down out of the air in the farthest end of the new school for the rest of his life. He's a real coach and a real fellow. As we look back over this record of track we see that hand in hand with brain develop- ment came the chance for that of brawn. Sport in the school furnished for partici- pant and rooter the other necessary quali- ties for all-around manhood. Initiative, brain and brawn have been built and the Yeatman annals may now be closed devoid of any discrepancy. the sandpit. VVhen he smacks his trusty right foot on the take-off board, he goes sailing through the air and a few minutes later something is seen to come down at the other end of the pit. It is he, and as he picks himself up and dusts the sand oif his suit, he listens for the distance, which is always close to the other end of the measur- ing tape. EVERETT BRODAGE, Ianuaiy, 1927.

' YEATIVIAN HIGH SCHOOL PATRONS' ASSOCIATION FRANK EIAAG LONG with the approaching end of this school terms comes the time when this Association passes out as a High School Association. It is with regret that we leave this school named for one of the greatest men of his time, James Erwin Yeatman, who, during his life was known and loved by thousands for the great gentleness which his every act expressed. His glad greetings warmed the hearts alike of little children, of seamy sol- diers, wounded on the field of battle or of great men who shared with the lowly the sunshine of his character. It was in memory of this man that many of the business men of North St. Louis solicited by James Clausen and Edwin F. Conrades gave freely for the wonderful paintings above the stage. Mr. Otto Stifel, deceased, donated quite a large sum for this purpose. Our records only go back as far as 1914, but from older members we learn that this organization was first organized about 1910 or 1911. Mr. Edwin F. Conrades was elected President, and Mr. WI H. Krenning, Secretary. These gentlemen held office until September, 1914, when Mr. J. F. O. Reller was elected Presidentg Mr. james Clausen, Vice-Presidentg J. H. Somerlich, Secretary, and XV. G. Schwartzel, Treasurer. These gentlemen held office until September, 1917, when Mr. James Clausen was made President, Julius F. Farling, Vice-President, and J. H. Somerlich, Secretary, and S. Spar- row, Treasurer. They were succeeded in 1918 by Dr. F. C. E. Kuhlman as Presidentg I. F. O. W'ilson, Vice-President, S. Spar- row, Secretary, and VV. G. Schwartzel, Treasurer. ' In September, 1919, Mr. Frank Haag was elected President, J. .F. O. lVilson. Vice-President, S. Sparrow, Secretary, and XV. G. Schwartzel, Treasurer. These gentle- men have held their offices until the present time with exception of Mr. Simon Sparrow, who passed to the Great Beyond during 1920. Mr. Charles Richter was elected to fill the vacancy. According to the records, many social events took place during the early years of this Association, and were only stopped by the 'great World VVar. During 1917 and 1918, the Faculty and boys and girls of the school didla great deal of Wlar work, mak- ing bandages and other necessary articles for the soldiers. Mr. Clausen, the President of the Association at that time, aided them very materially by collecting between three and five hundred dollars to help purchase the supplies. At the October meeting of 1919 it was decided to give some kind of entertainment at which a nominal fee would be charged, in order-to start what is known as the school fund from which purchases were to be made for the benefit of the school. The first article purchased was a large moving picture machine for the Auditorium at a cost of S544-5.00. This not alone helped the school, but was used by this Association for entertainment purposes at various times. From our records we find that from 1919 until the present time, we have spent about 552,200.00 for the benefit of the school. Among the principal items are the follow- ing: Donation to Senior Class, 1919, for Class Play ........................................ 35 75.00 New Curtain for Stage and Audi- torium .............................................. 300.00 Radio Club ............................................ 50.00 Spotlight ............. 87.50 Encyclopedia ............. 75.00 Orchestra ............................................ 75.00 Musical Instruments ............................ 125.00 Educational Victor Talking Machine 115.00 Trophy Case ........................................ 100.00 Portable Picture Machine for Class Rooms .............................................. 225.00 One Hundred Thirty-one .. es f ., ..........,...,.........,-..... ..... ....,f.....: 1 ...-.-.... . .. ee ......,..............:-q,.,........,,..-r-- 455 lg i ' r ' :I:::::::::5L21'-T-'fy V... gi ia ff gs sl il il 21 it ag ,- li li ii li i ii ti if fi li. W GI' L rj iQ ' 5 , The balance of the money was spent for repair work on various articles used in the school, class pins, etc. On March 28, 1923, we were shocked to hear of the death of Mr. William M. Butler, Principalg a man loved by every member of this Organization, and to his memory the Butler High-School scholarship fund was started with a donation of 3120.00. To this was added a check of 3100.00 given by Miss Claire Butler, a daughter of Mr. Butler, 350.00 from the Mothers' Club, and the sums given by several organizations of the school, and a donation by Mr. Wilbiir N. Fuller, now amounts to 3624.00, and is hoped some day to be large enough so that the interest will take care of a scholarship each year. This idea of a scholarship fund was given to us by the Faculty and was a wonderful thought, as we know nothing would have pleased this wonderful man more, as he gave freely of his spare time to educate himself more each year for the benefit of our children. Mr. lNilbur N. Fuller was appointed to succeed Mr. Butler, and as Mr. Fuller has been a member of the faculty since the opening of the school, he, like Mr. Butler, was always ready to do anything to make our organization a success. At the beginning of the 1924 term, the thought of starting a Mothers' Club for the school was taken up at our first meeting, One Hundred Thirty-two . . . . ... . . ooc ., , , .,, .., , .. a -......,W ,--...........-........,..............--..-.-..,...,.-..,,... .......

Fuller, the Principal, and after several meetings were held with a committee of ladies representing various schools in North St. Louis, the Mothers' Club was formed, and today is one of the largest of its kind in the City of St. Louis. This organization is an independent one, and is not in any way affiliated with the Patrons' Association. ' XVe cannot 1nention by name each man that gave us assistance in making the Pa- trons' Association a success, but we want to mention some who gave a great deal of their time, as for instance, our Delegates to the Alliance, Mr. Thos. P. Liston and C. I. Hoyer, also Mr. H. L. Schaefer, Robt. Ball- man and Julius Meyer. These gentlemen were always willing to do any and all kinds of work for our success. To the faculty and boys and girls, we want to extend our thanks for their hearty co-operation, and hope they will give the new Beaumont H'igh School Patrons' Asso- ciation, which is now being formed, the same assistance they gave us. To those who graduated during these years we extend our best wishes, wishing them health, happiness and contentment. three of the greatest assets to make this life a success. . r 'r' ll ii A HISTORY OF THE G.

A., I call upon you to help me in this stu- pendous task of writing of the glories of G. A. A.! I sit and listen and softly but clearly as if from the far shores of Time, I hear the whisper of girlish voices: On November 11, 1904, a group of girls, numbering forty-four, met for the purpose of forming an athletic club, sponsored by Miss Becker for the girls of Yeatman High. XVe were the nucleus of your present Girls' Athletic Association. At our next meeting, we chose for our name: The Yeatman High School Girls' Athletic Association. Our dues were 51.00 a year, payable quarterly and our initiation fees 50.25. NVe did not have a point system then, but merely gave medals or prizes to our winning teams. 4VVe began basketball as soon as possible. The girls practiced twice a week and con- sidering the short time they had, although not being winners, they came off' so well in their competitive games that they received the praise and good will of the school. NVE also organized Skating and W'alking Clubs. lVe grew steadily in membership as well as in athletics. On February 15, 1905, we had our first party. VVe invited the faculty and we all had a good time. In the sp1'ing, we organized a Tennis Club, practicing at -O'Fallon Park. It is fitting to add, that the girls who be- longed to the Y. H. S. G. A. A. were G or above in their studies. WVe were not allowed to join unless we presented a slip of paper, signed by our teachers which at- tested this fact. During the next year, in order to raise money for the association, we made banners and ribbons, to be sold at fifty cents and ten cents, respectively. The girls also designed a pin. VVe decided upon one that had a black background with the letters HY. A. A. in gold. These were not given to the girls of the association, but had to be bought by the members themselves. VVe challenged the basketball teams of other schools,.varying between success and failure. VVe decided to buy pins for the Basketball girls with the proceeds of the games. In the spring we had a tennis tournament between our own girls. Our activities in skating and hiking also con- tinued. Our picture was in the May-June issue of the Yeatman Life. The year of 1906 was important for only one thing. You must remember, that we had been growing steadily. With more mem- bers, more money was coming in. we final- ly had almost more than was good for us, so we decided to reduce the dues to twenty- tive cents a term. VV e understand that you are still asking as much. The next year, we had a write-up in Life, lN7e also arranged to have sta- tionery with our pin on it. W'e voted to have a record chart similar to the B. A. A.'s put in the trophy case. Ah, the glories of Yeatmanl Miss Valle Post won an inter- scholastic tennis tournament, bringing home to Y eatman new honors and a silver cup. Outside of our usual activities, we could not call 1908 an important year. Perhaps it might be called the beginning of the end for in 1909-Wfell, wait just a few mo- ments. Here the voices stopped a short while, started, stopped anclthen faltered on again: It's rather hard to tell you of 1909. For then the Y. H. S. G. A. A. came to an end. After January 5, we had no more meet- ings. Perhaps our end resulted in lack of enthusiasm, we don't know. For a time, I hear no sound, except the ticking of the clock.

They are little closer and somewhat clearer as if quite a few years have been spanned. They are glad, they are eager, listen! Miss 1916 speaks: I Hurrah! The Girls' Athletic iIAssocia- tion of Yeatman High School lives again. NVe had our first meeting on March 7. Our various lines of work were Tennis, Basket- ball, Hiking, Gilbert, Apparatus and First Aid. VVe did not yet have the point system. but gave Y's for general excellence in each club. We had about 126 members during this year. It was not till the next term, however, that we really got into full swing. Miss McQuiston assumed sponsor- ship for our Association. The new G. A. A. had its first party, a masquerade, ,April of 1917. fNe also de- cided to wear the school colorsto the held meet. The G. A. A. was to go in a body. XV e again had our much loved Tennis Tour- naments. A move was made for new mem- bersg each girl pledged herself to bring at least one new member. During all this time. the Wiorld Mfar had been going on. You already know we had a First Aid Squad. Now the girls began to make Christ- mas Cheer Bags for the boys over theref, Besides this work, we started a Yeatman Unit of Red Cross VVork. At, this time, we also instituted a Swimming Squad. Appara- tus work was suspended for a time. NVe had our usual annual party. In 1918, we started our track team under the leadership of Miss Krumeich. Miss McQuiston took charge of Basketball. while Miss Grace had Swimming and Tennis. Miss Brown had charge 'of First Aid. ,On account of the flu ban, we didn't accomplish as much as we had hoped during the term September 1918-January 1919. During the years 1919 and 1920. our work progressed on the same level. Wie had a membership drive in 1920 with the result of having our memlzership list topping the 215 mark. Wie selected felt tams to wear at the iield meet. XV e started a soccer team. A year of importance was 1921. In the Hrst place, we had another membership cam- paign. This met with success. A Hockey Team was organized. The Seniors won the championship game over the other three years in Basketball. Last, but most im- portant of all, we adopted the i'point sys- tem in giving letters to the girls. The total number of points required for a'Y was 800. Gym gave 50 a term, tennis, 20 a season, swimming. 20 a term, hiking, 90 a term, hockey, 80 a season, basketball, 20 a season and tield work 10. .Winner in field events received-lst 50, 2nd 40, 3rd 30 points. Tennis singles gave 50 and doubles 25. Swimming the same as track. Basketball and Hockey winners 25 each. The Misses Kelly, Grace, Lucy and the officers of the G. A. A. signed their approval. Mr. Butler also approved of this plan. Now the voices stopped. They knew I needed them no longer. I could draw from the stores of my own memories. In 1923, the G. A. A. started taking care of its members through the card system. This work was so complicated that Miss McQuiston took charge of the point system, assuming only the work of the director. A Life correspondent was-to be chosen by Miss Jeffrey and Miss McQuiston each term to explain the work and pleasures of the G. A. A. to the students through Life Numerals were to be given to members who had received.-l00 points and pins to those who had achieved 1,200 points. The muner- als consisted of the year in which the girl won her points. These were to be of gold felt on a background of blue. The pins were replicas of the Y's. In 1924. most of us remember seeing the G. A. A.'s go to the held meet forming a Y with their blue and gold balloons and tams. Wie entertained -the Mothers' Club-. This was to acquaint the mothers of the girls with the work which is being done in Yeat- man. By 1925, dropping some clubs, taking on others, we had acquired eight branches of work. They are the following: hiking, danc- ing, apparatus, track, swimming, tennis, One Hundred Thirty-five THE HOCKEY SQUAD Mg a . ,f ..,......-.,,. .,.,.. ...W ....,,,....,, ...,.,.... . ....4 . ... .,.. ..-,,. ..,,. ..... . .... . ,.., .. .......-....,,...s..-...... .... .... .

W izcxizxuausisn-june, 1926 NY history of our Debating Club that we might write would be in- complete without a contribution from its organizer and sponsor, Miss julia D. Randall. Until the present year she was the soul and inspiration of debating in Yeatman. She is on a year's leave of absence at her home in Mystic, Conn. NV hen we wrote her concerning the origin of the club, she answered at once by sending the following summary, including an account of the first three years: First year : 1922-23. After two years of unorganized debating within and between the various high schools, there was an insistant demand here at Yeat- man for an organization. Miss Grace's Public Speaking Students, and Miss Col- well's and my Sixes had debated each other and Clayton, and they formed a good nucleus for a club, and the offering of the Princeton Cup hurried up the organization. George Lowenguth was our first president, and carried the group through exciting meet- ings from the first: for the VVitanagemot, whose name we adopted, was always a group of people with strong opinions. The first year we had so large a membership that it was not possible to have all speak in the assembly room. Wre had seven inter-school events, and gave nineteen letters. all Y's. These included six given to girls for the spring triangle. Yeatman and Soldan opened the Prince- ton Series. in November. The two teams had less than three weeks to prepare. but neither suggested a delay, which would have inconvenienced the schools to come on later, and Soldan showed excellent sportsmanship when we won the decision. Wfe argued that the use of the injunction is likely to favor Capital in labor disputes. One of our team- meu. Russell Richardson, was under great strain on thenight of the debate. His father was at the point of death, but conscious, in- terested in the question, and desirous that Russell should go through with it. The decision in our favor was a gratification to him, one of the last of his life. This un- usual situation helped to weld together this first league team of Olll'SI George Lowen- guth, Russell Richardson and Adam Rosen- thal. Our persuasive last speaker won the X'V3.Sl'lil1gtO11 University Boys' cup the fol- lowing spring, the first year of its series. George Lowenguth has made a fine record at the School of Pharmacy, though more than one debating judge urged him to go to Law School. Russell has remained a very persuasive speaker. Adam Rosenthal has been in several Chamber of Commerce de- bates, and I believe, always on the winning side. T V VVe lost our second debate I negative of the Philippine questionj against Cleveland, despite the good work of our whole team and the particularly brilliant rebuttal of our smallest and youngest speaker, Raymond Schmidt. Then we spent the rest of the year drilling new speakers. sending teams against Soldan and Cleveland evening schools, and against Soldan Debating Club. The first two discussed the League Court. and the last, government ownership of coal mines. Wie broke even on the Court de- bate, and lost the one on Coal. Soldan was beginning flike ourselvesj to get into shape the excellent team which they used, the next vear. The girls had their first inter-school event that spring. McKinley had two strong teams, and won both decisions: Cleveland broke even, and we lost both, despite good work. Our girls took the result like good soldiers, and one of them, Dorothy Spell- man, was last spring on a winning VV ash- ington team with one of her honorable op- ponents from McKinley. i One Hundred Thirty-nine za U , 5 ga 0 T.: ...,..,,,,..,,...,.,..-...... ......--- -........-----......-......-...-. ..,.. -..-.....s...................................-....................u...............-...-.-. -.- ,g,,.,f15,:gf, ,:,.:5,g:,.3E:5, r -:iz-1.-:::m'.:l:'n:f::.1:::.4e:::::ar:a::.:.-sc.-f.f-11 .....-.':::::::m:::::..1:::.'::':.: '-1 X h 1'111zz-:z:as2s,'a.!zE'1M:a:aaIf',2fz912.5 Na-2:.2ts: ., , . .. . 4 f Q 57 .5 5'-i:2.g:..a' 2-if t' 1- S 'ft . ,, - X f c 1 1 w.Q I.:EfZ7ff.' l..,-f-.f---1-------:e---f- --....

That was the year when we were a session of the Missouri Legisla- ture, discussing the County' Unit Bill, with Bob Hannigan as a stern chairman. Second year: 1923-24. The girls' debating was regularly organ- ized this year, and the VVellesley Cup offered. McKinley won the cup, while Yeat- man was among the number of high school teams to win in the affirmative. The sub- ject was membership in the League of Nations. This live-cornered system is so far, I think, peculiar to St. Louis, and I have been asked for accounts of it by dif- ferent people, and have written it up for the English f0'urnal Uune, '23l and the lfVcllcs- Icy lllagazi-rio, one of the last winter num- bers KI should say Februaryj. The boys' season was longer the second year, but it was still possible for the school drawing the by to drop out after one de- bate, and that was our fate. VVe spent the rest of the year on debates with Clayton and Kirkwood and with our ow11 alumni. The organizer of the alumni debate was August Bueltman, a member of a former winning, non-league team. He is now preparing for the ministery, where his keen and also sym- pathetic style will tind a great field. we gained a majority of decisions in this sea- son's work, and in the spring oratorical contest, Ruth Cornelius brought us the VVashington cup. This was also a banner year for auditorium drills and we had a good many reserve letters. Third Year: 1924-25. Auditorium debates were given by mixed teams on questions suggested by the fact that 1924 was an election year. The girls' Wellesley Cup debates resulted in a victory for our Negative. In the third and fourth Princeton events the boys' team, made up of George Thomas, Matthew McCauley and Theodore Krause. with VVilliam Renkel as alternate, under Mr. Malott, won the Princeton Cup, and Ruth Cornelius again brought home the W'ashington Cup. One Hundred Forty H, , ,t.Y,...-- . Fourth Year: 1925-26. This year the Club work has gone on under entirely new officers. There has been a fine spirit of co-operation, for everyone felt he wanted to help and try to keep up our high standard.

Es Espana misma. Es Iberia levan- tandose brillante todavia con juventud de la tumba en la cual hace veinte siglos que ha estado sepultada. En virtud de este caracter simbolico, el Club Espanol ha preferido su nombre. La habilidad de fescribir el espanol tan perfectamente como lo hicieron estas sefioritas justilica la razon de ser del Club Espanol. A El Club de este curso ha escogido el nombre de Las Pena Flores, gracias a las ideas de las senoritas de la Clase de Es- panol 5. Creemos que es un nombre muy hermoso. qSabe Ud. traducirlo? Las Rock Flowers. Es muy castellano. Hay en el, el espiritu de los escritores modernos de Espana, el espiritu del querido Galdos. de Antonio Machado, de Concha Espina.

En su conferencia sobre el monton, dijo: La costumbre de llevar el monton es muy an- tigua en Espanas :Los mantones se bordan 1 por mano, son de pura seda, y son muy preciosos. Las iilas largas de seda estan atadas en companillas para forinar la franja o el fleco. Algunas veces es de mas de ocho pulgados de largo. Los montones se adornan de muchos colores brillantes, de Hores vivas y de pajaros Verdes. La costumbre de llevar el monton es popular ahora con las mujeres de Nueva York, San Luis y nuestras otras cuidades grandesi Se lleva casi siempre de noche al teatro o a la opera. .

In November of that year Dr. 1N'ithers, principal of the school, called a meeting of the faculty, in order that they might take up the matter of school organiza- tions. It was at this time that our club was organized. Under the directorship of Mr. Knox, the assistant-principal, the club started on its march toward success. In 1905 Mr. Knox was appointed principal. Because of this appointment he found it necessary to give up the directorship of the club. as he felt he could not devote sufficient time to club work with his added duties. XVhile under his leadership, 1904-1905, the club grew to be one of the foremost organi- zations. Since Mr. Knox was no longer the sponsor of the club, Mr. Stellwagon, a member of the faculty, took the club under his leader- ship. Wlith the new leader the club cou- tinued to develop. Some time later Mr. Stellwagon left Yeatman, leaving the club with Mr. Kelbaugh as sponsor for a short period of time. Then, for a time the1'e was no boys, glee club. In 1922 interest was revived. Wlith this revival, the club was reorganized under our esteemed director, Mr. Saeger. The club owes a great deal to Mr. Saeger for its One Hundred Forly-six progress because he contributed much to- ward the success it has had. Those who attended the last operetta given by the Boys' and Girls' Glee Clubs heard some very good voices -because of the hard work of Mr. Saeger and the co-operation given to him by the boys. Through this operetta we have inspired other boys, and created in them a desire to be one of us, and the club now has a membership of about forty boys. The following corps of officers co-operating with Mr. Saeger have also helped make the club successful. President ................................ Wlesley Jackson Student Council Rep ,..............

It is with great regret that we leave our old school that has served us so well. Yet as we leave Yeat- man, we go to the larger school where we will receive more opportunities to carry on our work. VVe must now say good-bye to dear old Yeatman High: long will she be remembered because of her greatness and her contribution to the welfare to our com- munity. GLEE CLUB BOYS' E T H -'1 3 lr EE Nfl LFRHIQ if - --- f VIRGINIA FoRsvTH-january, 1927 E Cercle Francais is one of the oldest organizations in Yeatman. It was organized in 1908 under the supervision and guiding influence of Miss Fuhlhage. and its history though inter- mittent. is most interesting. In the early days, when it was quite the customary thing to take five subjects instead of the four now required, the day seemed too full for many extra curricular activities. The desirability of belonging to a French club was recog- nized. but how to crowd more into an already full day? That was the question. lt was solved by meeting during the summer vacations at the homes of the various mem- bers and later at the Divoll Branch Lib-rary. It was during this period that the club gave its first play, L'ete de la Saint Martin. Room 115 was crowded to its entire seating capacity and even more standing room was in demand. One term those students taking higher French decided to give a play. No club was formed, however, the daily class periods being used for rehearsals. The students spent many hours on this play, conscien- tiously striving to make it a success. Any- one who has tried a part in a French play knows what it means to make it live. At last the evening came for the performance. Invitations had been sent out and the ques- tion that is foremost in every amateur play- er's mind was, VVill it be a success P They had nothing to fear. The success of Le Monde Ou L'on S'ennui was' all and more than they had hoped for. Finally. in February, 1924, the club with Tom jeffrey as president was organized in gvgv One Hundred Forty-eight its present form. The members of that club could not really be called charter members. The club' really wasn't reorganizedg it was simply a continuation of the earlier one. But we of the present are mighty glad that we have a French club and we are going to see to it that we have a strong, peppy or- ganization at Beaumont. The present offi- cers of the club are: Student Council Representative ...... ......... X Virginia Smith President ................ ........... D orothy Knapp Secretary ........................ Gerarcline Richmond Treasurer .................................. Gladys Stamm Life Correspondent .............. Virginia Forsyth Wie have some very interesting times at our meetings. We play games and tell short stories and anecdotes. This is arranged by a program committee. It is surprising how general conversation with someone broadens one's vocabulary. Miss Fuhlhage has been to France several times and sometimes she tells about the peculiarities and customs of the French people. Sometimes we have open meetings to which our friends are in- vited. VVe serve hot chocolate and cakes. No need to sayuthat these meetings are well attended and quite successful. Once or twice during theterm one or two of the members sings a song. But it only occurs once or twice. 'It takes the rest of the term for us to recover from the strain. Wie, of course, have some sort of big entertainment each semester. Two terms ago we worked up a little play called La Surprise d'1si- doref' and invited all those students study- ing French to witness it. After the play we l l THE FRENCH CLUB served refreshments and dancing followed. Last term we gave a hike. This term we are giving one, too. VVe say Ugivingf' VVe haven't gone yet. VVe had planned to go November 7 th. VV'ell. it rained Friday night and all day Saturday, so, of course, we couldn't go. Too bad that hip boots aren't the rage now as well as slickers. W'e might have gone anyway if they were. The club has some particular thing to accomplish during the term, usually the pro- duction of a short play. Y's are dis- tributed to those who have been regular in attendance and have earned credits for defi- nite work. This makes work interesting. We wonder why so few students take French? They surely don't know what they are missing and losing. Our French Club is helping us and stimulating us to so many new interests that we wish we could make you see it as we do and select French as one of your most valuable studies.

In September of that year, our present club was or- ganized by our sponsor and teacher, Mr. Bell. The first president of the club was Adam Rosenthal. During this semester, the club took trips to various plants. 'These were very valuable to the club because they were both educational and interesting. The main social function this term was a Hal- lowe'en party given in the gym. For the term of Jan. 1923 to June 1923, Hardin Smith held office as president. Twenty-seven new members were taken in. The club took two trips, one to the Post- Dispatch and the other to Pevely Dairy Co. Both of these were very instructive. The club had both an outing and a party this term. Adam Rosenthal again received the place of honor Cthat of presidentj in Sept. 1923. In this semester the ceremonies for new members were inaugurated. These have added much to our club. Any member will tell you the fun we get out of them. and how they show the new member what our club really stands for. In January ,24, Niles Patterson was elected president. A large number of new members were admitted this term. The programs for this semester were very interesting. Five instructive talks were given to the club by certain of its members. These talks were as follows: ' Removal of Stains from Clothing-by Frances Luem. L .Corrosion, Cause, Effect,' Remedy-by Herman Lueking. Harmfulness of Headache Mixtures-by Ethel Martin. Lead Poisoning-by Lloyd Becker. Manufactured Gas-by Edwin Muchow. One Hundred Fifty Carlyle Powell was elected our next presi- dent in jan. 1924. An outing was given by the club at the Voss' Club House at Jed- burg. 011 the Meramec., The club also took a trip to a glass manufacturing plant. Carlyle Powell again became president the following term. The number of new members almost exceeded that of any other term, being thirty-seven. Several interest- ing talks were given by members of the club. A party and an outing were given, both of which were very successful. In January 1925 Richard VValsh was elected president. The main social activity this semester was an outing at Fern Glen. Dancing, canoeing, and swimming were among the chief enjoyments of the day. Richard VValsh was re-elected in June 1925. This term two interesting talks were given by Alma Koerper and Joseph Hum- phrey. 9 Now, we have arrived at the peppiest and most wide-awake term of the club. It held its first meeting on September 25, 1925, and the following officers were elected: President ..........................,, Earl Hagenseicker Student Council. ....... ............... X Vernon Life Vice-President ........ ........ F lorence Marty Secretary .................... ......... E lnora Shumate Treasurer ............................ George Holbrook Life Correspondent ................ Erma Rudolph On October 9, 1925, we took into the club twenty-seven new members. 1'm sure it can be said that everyone enjoyed himself, as the ceremonies were both interesting and quite spooky, to say the least. VV e are plan- ning to have an outing at Fern Glen on November 28. Our program for the term is to be very educational. Eight of our mem- bers are to give talks to the club. Later on, we plan to give the new club members enter- tainment by teaching them our club yell.

VVILLIAM GEITZ--111116, 1927 I- HE Radio Club was first organized at Yeatman in the fall of 1921, lfipll S: 'Viral four and one-half years ago. At ft:-Q-V l . . . that time. the radio craze was just beginning. There were no large broadcast- in stations as we know them toda Y. Ama- g I l 3 teurs had local stations from which phono- graph music was sent out for the enjoyment of other amateurs who were listeners-in. A group of boys, interested in the growth of interest along radio lines at Yeatman, went to Mr. Butler and asked permission to form a radio club. This request was granted. Mr. Mitchell was selected to act as the club sponsor, a position which he has held ever since. The first officers were Paul Heaney, presidentg Merel Grilicin, vice-president and librarian 3 Charles J. Schwarz, secretaryg and Gerald Pauley, treasurer. The purpose of the club, as explained by James Mc- Mahon, first Life Correspondent, was to teach the fellows how to install wireless outfits, to receive instruction in 'hook-upsf and to enable the members to receive wire- less telephone concerts for their own pleas- ure and that of the school. Since that time, the Radio Club has had a steady growth. Among the members who contributed in a special way to its success were Charles J. Schwarz, who served two terms as president and who built the original radio set belonging to the club, Milton Wel- hoelter, Robert Oswald, Joseph Steinlage, and Gerald Pauley-all enthusiastic boost- ers 5 and Beardsley Wolf, Arthur Guntly, Harry Fuller, and Edward Goedeke, who One Hundred Fifty-two kept the club in the public eye original and entertaining reports by their in Yeat- man Life. Much credit is due to others as well. At the first meeting of the present term, about twenty attended. They elected the following officers: Kenneth Gerdel, presi- dentg Walter VVulfkuehler, vice-presidentg Albert Schwieder, secretary-treasurerg W'il- liam Pelster, librariang and VV'illiam Geitz, Life Correspondent. Lawrence Gowdy was chosen for the responsible position of Stu- dent Council representative. It was thought appropriate also to elect a Program and Code Practice Committee. Several interesting programs have been given, consisting of talks on various types of receiving sets, aerial construction, and the various kinds of programs broadcast by different stations. Each week the club pur- chases a copy of a radio magazine for the use of its members. The old point system for earning the club monogram, a neat blue and gold pennant, has been changed some- what to allow members who entered the club this term to win the required points before the Yeatman Radio Club changes its name to Beaumont. Nearly all of the old mem- bers have earned their letter. The Radio Club always broadcasts the results of the World's Baseball Series, play by play, as fast as the results are received. The broadcasting bulletins are placed on the boardsiin the corridors of each of the three iioors,'by club members who have free periods at the time the returns come in.

This class consisted ' ' of the leaders of various classes who met at this time to determine the routine of the week's work. Since 1910, the Yeatman High School in St. Louis, Missouri, has had for one of its foremost school organizations, a Boys' Gym- nastic Club. The purpose of this club was: lst: To develop the boys interested in gym- nastics outside of school hours and beyond the limited opportunities afforded in the regular time and classes. Znd: To give train- ing in leadership to assist the instructor in squad work and the regular classes, occa- sionally taking full charge of an entire class. Srd: To give exhibitions of all varieties. This club has gained a national reputation through its numerous and very successful demonstrations- given before the American Association of Physical Education, Teach- ers, Conventions, Artists' Conventions, Park and Playground Associations, Teachers' An- nuity Benefit Baseball Games, Municipal Athletic Carnivals and Child Vllelfare exhi- bitions, Theaters, other High Schools, and own School Auditorium. Engaging in com- petition, the club won the championship in gymnastics in St. Louis several years ago, with a large margin of points. In a meet with the Olympic Turnverein, St. Louis also, the club piled up a large number of points to win the meet. As many as one hundred and twenty-six boys have been in action at one time in the various exhibitions held by the club. VVith a former record such as this, Hans G. Lehrmann started in September the work of the last semester of Gym Club at Yeat- man High, determined to make it a grand success. The students responded nolmly, and Doc had no trouble selling two hundred and nine membership cards to the boys of the student body. This means two hundred and nine active members, the largest num- ber ever in the history of the club. Docl' declares he has seen more development in this last term of the club than ever in the preceding terms.

On October 29th we met in s' me Room 103 for the purpose of or- ganizing a club in order that we might gain further knowledge of the lives of the Greeks and Romans. We had forty-nine charter members. Pause a moment and think what a start like that means to a new club! .

D orothy Knapp Life Correspondent ........ Marjorie Sodemann If anyone thinks that our meetings are One Hundred Fifty-six uninteresting, he is very much mistaken. At our two program meetings we have had interesting papers on the life and education of the Roman child and Roman religion. These were illustrated by lantern slides. VV e have had poems read on Caesar as a Road Builder and The Temple of Castor and Pol- lux. VVe have had one playlet and expect to have more in the future. Our programs for this term will include Roman Games, Inquiry into the less known parts of 'Caesar's biography, the Satumalia, Expeditions to the Municipal Art Museum, and to the Ruins of Pompeii. Last, but not least, is our chief social ac- tivity of the term. VVe are all enthused as the time approaches for our hike on Decem- ber 12th. Each one of us is determined to make it a success. At the end of this term, our club with all others of the school may automatically dissolve, and resume activities at the Beau- mont. Now those of you who have not joined this term make your appearance next term, and become personally acquainted with the heroes of the Greek and Roman World. THE CLASSICAL CLUB I. if Lv- wg Y 5 TIIELEN M. E. lll:'rL1zR-January, 1926 The advance and 'the perfection of mathematics are closely joined to the pros- perity of a nation. -Napoleofzv. Q ID you ever pause to think of the truth of the above statement? nu Mathematics plays a very important part in our lives in the division of time, measurement of distances, latitude and longitude reckoning of costs, calculation of interest and bank deposits and loans-we might continue this list indefinitely. Since mathematics play such an impor- tant part in our lives, it is natural that Yeat- man High School should have a Mathematics Club. Miss Eitzen, the sponsor of the Yeat- man Math. Club, had been in the habit of giving over every Friday of her Math. 8 class for the study of the history of mathe- matics. In the spring term of 1924, instead of the usual single Math. 8 class, there were two classes. Miss Eitzen believed that much could be accomplished if the two classes could combine as a club and study mathe- matics outside of school hours. Permission was readily granted for the formation of such a club. The first set of officers were elected on February 8, 1924. The list was as follows: .

D udley England Treasurer ................................ William Xifilson Student Councillor .................... Rov XVinkler Life Correspondent ........ Katherine Harberg In addition to studying the history of mathematics, the club at once extended the scope of its work to include the study of the slide rule and the solving of trick prob- lems. One of the favorite diversions of the members was solving problems by the use One Hundred Fifty-eight of the magic square. Here is such a prob- lem: There were three brothers of Cologne having nine vessels of wine. The first ves- sel contained one quart, the second. two quarts, the third, three, and so on, until the ninth one contained nine quarts. How should they divide the wine equally among the three brothers without mixing the con- tents of the vessels? The answer is given in the following magic square, any row or column of which adds up to 15, the proper total number for each brother: I8 1I6 III IHIFI SKJIXI II I I I I I 4 I 9 I 2 I Another favorite question within the circle of the Mathematics Club was this: A fish has a bead eight inches long, a body equal to the head plus E6 the tail, and a tail equal to the head plus the body. How long is the fish? It is just another one of those fish stories, but if your answer is not the same as some one else's, it does not prove that either of you is telling a fish story. Wie can easily show that the fish was 64 inches long. The second term of the club's existence was marked by two changes. The first was a decision to allow sixth and seventh term students to join the club. The second was a decision to award a Math. Club letter. It was further decided to award the letter on a point system, the schedule of which fol- lows: I ..... i ' .. ,f M, Z ' 1:Qf,33QQiQ,M,,,, ,.,4 ff:-35.512-jffjffffkygig:-1:11:53 :gg-3313553353755531231::::::::g:::':r:.g:2:::zz:::.:.g1:::::g::.rg:::z:::::.::.::.:x:'::::::::::::1gI7f.f 2i'J3'Qf,'.f.2'::g:::,1..-..fLs.,,.. ,.,.

T1-IE C1-IORAL CLUB NTIRGINIA BALAIIQR-January. 1926 .Ji HE Choral Club is one of the oldest musical organizations in Yeatnian. viii ln 1911, Miss Dussuchal found It necessary to form a Semi-Chorus from the Auditorium Classes in order to have a group of singers ready at short notice to take part in the many concerts that Mr. Coburn Cdeceasedl gave in the Coliseum, Qdeon, Municipal Theatre, and in other large auditoriums. The members of this Semi-Chorus en- rr 91 j oyed the extra work to the extent that they asked permission of Mr. Butler to organize with oificers. The members were required to pay dues, from which the current ex- penses were paid. The purpose of the or- ganization has always been to encourage choral practice and to take part on all occa- sions when a 'chorus is required. Another step in advancement was to add acting and dancing to its work. The result of this was that since 1913, when Pinafo1'e was pro- Officers 1914-1915 Left to Right-George Xkiettle, Life Correspondentg Salem Bartlett, Treasurer: Louis 'Het1age, Presidentg llaco Brinkmann, Sergeant-at-Armsg Vera Putmann, Vice-Presidentg Elfrieda Sprmgmeier, Secretary.

In the audience of these yearly entertain- ments may be seen many of the former Club members, who make it their bound duty to attend and to offer words of encourage- ment and endearment to their old beloved Club. The Choral Club has been very fortunate in having many of its members continue the study of vocal music, so that now the Club-'s influence may be-found on the professional stage. in our church choirs, on the concert platform, in singing societies, clubs, vocal studios, and, in fact, in all the vocal activities of our city. And what are we, Choral Club l925, doing to keep up the reputation of our older sisters and brothers? VVell, after you finish reading our history, I'm sure you will see for yourselves that we're keeping up the good name of our Club.

Virginia Balmer At our next few meetings we made ar- rangements for our outing, which was given at Ferguson Club on September 26th. It was a great success, although it may seem strange to say so when you recall what a rainy Saturday it was. But everyone came and then, what does a little rain mean when there's a crowd of jolly Choralites, a num- ber of keen pianists, and a favorable dance Hoor? The picnic lasted until five-thirty and then we took the bus to home, sweet home. The greatest event for us this term was our singing for the Teachers, Convention at the Coliseum. Before we received this re- quest from Mr. Hahnel, we had started to work on our Thanksgiving play, but the Club decided that the two programs would be too hard to prepare and so we gave up the play and turned our undivided attention to the practicing of the three songs we sang which were' Italia, 'KPraise God, and The Hiring Fair. . On November 17th, we sang for the Mothers' Club. The program was a gratify- ing success.

It has always been the pleasure of our Club to sing at these exercises, and we are work- ing very hard on them because this will be the last time the Choral Club will be called upon to sing for the Yeatman graduating class. The Club members are anticipating our party which will take place on December 23rd. It's going to be a real Christmas party. just imagine the fun! Don't you wish you were one of us? The Yeatman Choral Club is the only one of its kind in the city, and we owe its or- ganization and success to our instructress, Miss Dussuchal, whose efforts and patience have made the Club what it is today. This concludes the history, both past and present of the Yeatman Choral Club, whose organization started in the earliest days of the school, and whose endeavor it has al- ways been to serve and entertain the school, and to promote the education of its members in a musical way.

LUc1LL1z F1sLER-january, 1926 i. HE first club to organize at Yeatinan Was the Girls Lilee Club, but it was not under that name then-it was called The Orioles. It came about this way: during the first week of October 1904, some fourteen girls who were inter- ested in starting a girls' singing club, met in one of the rooms to organize. Quite a dis- cussion ensued before it was decided to call the club The Orioles as the name Lyric Club was also favored. Mr. Powell prom- ised his services as director, and the club soon gained favor in the school world. The membership increased so rapidly that it be- came necessary to make restrictions. As a result, it was limited to thirty-six members and a waiting list. The club soon reached the membership limit and had quite a large waiting list, so the necessity arose of draw- ing up rules and by-laws regarding fines and attendance to keep the members from becoming lax. The club soon became firmly established and through the years, as it became more experienced, its character was seen to be of a high standard. W'hen the charter members' places became vacant, the club was such a strong organization that it already had a history marked by glorious achievement. W'ork did not occupy all of the girls' time by any means. They had enjoyable dances in partnership with the Boys' Glee Club and other organizations of the school. They went on outings in O'Fallon Park and al- ways had a good ti1ne. The girls were occa- sionally entertained by Mr. and Mrs. Powell. The club sang at various concerts at the Odeon and at churches, and it was every- where agreed that the organization was worthy of commendation. Then, too, to crown its success, the club gave concerts and entertainments of its own which were great- ly enjoyed by the school at large. iVhen Mr. Powell became principal at Soldan, the club found another sponsor in Mr. Andrews. Under his supervision the club flourished. XVhen he left Yeatman for a grade school principalship, Mr. Garber directed the club successfully for several years until his health failed and he had to leave St. Louis. After Mr. Garber left, the club languished and soon passed out of ex- istence. Thus ended the Orioles VVhen Yeatman opened in September 1923, both Mr. Fuller and Miss Dussuchal felt that a singing club for girls should be organized. Accordingly, an announcement was made that a meeting would be held and a prompt response was made. Many girls joined and in Miss McLaughlin was found an able and willing sponsor. .The club be- came very popular and sang at various en- tertainments at the school. XV hen Yeatman had an entertainment at the Grand-Floris- sant Theatre, March 18, 1924. the Girls' Glee Club presented an Italian carnival scene and the girls sang two choruses, one One Hundred Sixty-five THE GIRLS' GLEE CLUB ,...... -.r- -gg 1 xx Q3 u .-...............-...-..-,....... .,.,.. ....--.,............,-...,...-............-...,.......-,........-.,, ,,.,,..-. ,,. .il :gg f 'r:.:4mz:.f::f::- ...rr-.mazeg.::.::':-nmnmzrgm.-::s:-. -:T:.-::.m-:e1r..,.,.- ------ 12:21 3' -. .t .... , . i . 7' s' 5 ji ,,,. .

The gym was always a scene of joyous gayety and laughter when a Girls' Glvv Club party was sin progress. These parties came just before Halloween and the refreshments were those appropriate to the season.

This last, Der Freischutzj' has been a popular drawing card of the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra for many sea- sons. Many well known musicians have been members of the Yeatman orchestra. Harry Gold, first violinist in the St. Louis Sym- phony Orchestra, and assistant concert- master of the Loew's State orchestra, was a former Yeatman Orchestra member. Then there was Noah Henley, who played the violin and 'cello. With the earnings which he received as a musician, he was able to work his way through college. The same thing was true of Elliot Scherr, also a former Yeatmanite. He was a liutist in a theater orchestra, and thanks to his musical ability, he was also able to go to college. Even our present drummer is a member of the American Federation of Musicians. Our former first clarinetist, Chester Heifner, who so thrilled the school with his clarinet solo last term, is also a union musician. But these are not the only ones. Many other former members are now union musicians. Once every year the Orchestra gives a public concert. These concerts have become very popular as the large audience testified. Go to the next one and see and hear for yourself. There is always an enjoyable pro- gram, which consists of orchestral numbers, interspersed with solos. Cleverly enacted plays have also been given at some of these concerts. One Hundred Seventy The Seniors greatly depend upon the Or- chestra. -On Color-Day they march into the auditorium to the accompaniment of the Orchestra. It also supplies music for them on Flag-Day and Farewell-Day. At the Senior play, the Orchestra is one of the out- standing features. Mr. Birr has been com- plimented over and over again for the Or- cl1estra's splendid work at the Senior plays. On Commencement-Day, the Orchestra is again an important feature, supplying music before and after the graduation ceremonies. The Orchestra of course has its good times. About the first social function which the -Orchestra gave, was a picnic at Creve Coeur Lake. The members were chaperoned by Mr. and Mrs. Birr. A wonderful time was reported by all. But picnics and hikes are not the only social affairs we have en- joyed. Every term the Orchestra has given a party which rivals those of Louis XIV, as far as fun is concerned. Games are played, and there is dancing and music. Last term Robert Rife entertained with magical tricks, which Thurston couldn't equal. The Yeatman Orchestra is the oldest of all the high school orchestras in the city of St. Louis. It is also the oldest organization of any now existing in Yeatman. If some of you desire excellent musical experience, why not join the oldest organization in the school? Valuable experience is to be had for the asking.

Our meetings were held each Saturday afternoon in the school gmynasium, and all the lessons from the first one were character- ized by rare enthusiasm which distinguished our work of the four years of my member- ship in the club. Miss Krumeich generously donated much of her time to us and dis- played unlimited patience in her efforts to help us. The early part of each lesson was devoted to the cultivation of grace through the Gilbert movements and the learning of new dance steps. The remainder of the time was spent in a purely recreational manner, usually a game. Captain Ball proved to be very popular for a while, the girls forming teams which played as earnestly as any pro- fessional team could. An annual exhibition of our work was planned and prepared for each year and given in the auditorium in great state with printed tickets, programs, ushers, etc. The girls worked hard for these entertainments and Miss Krumeich was indefatigable in her efforts to help us make them a success. The program of the First exhibition included among its numbers a Spanish dance and a Dutch dance, both of which still remain in the memories of our friends and members. Besides the exhibitions, the club indulged in picnics, spreads and dances each year.

I remember how loath we were to leave the gymnasium after our meetings, and 1 am sure that other former members will agree with me that many of the best hours of our lives were spent at the Gilbert Club, where we received so much invaluable training and enjoyed so much genuinely wholesome fun. That the training was both beneficial and thorough was proved by the fact that when many of the same girls who were members of the Gilbert Club later attended the Harris Teachers' College, it was remarked by the physical director of that school that the work- of each former Gilbert Club member was noticeably better than that of the other girls. Now our club is only a memory to its first members, but it is indeed a very fond one, and in our hearts we carry the deepest gratitude to Miss Krumeich, who made it all possible through her skill and loving patience. VV e named our organization for Professor M. B. Gilbert of Boston, who at that time was one of the best and most widely known instructors of the type of dancing we were learning. Many of the dances we showed in our exhibitions in the first few years were Professor Gilbertls compositions. Our club today has forty-five members, which is the limit of our membership, due to lack of space for the accommodation of more. VVe believe we enjoy our work just as our charter member did. but we are not able to play games after our lessons as they did because we now meet after school and so do not have the time. We feel we are fortunate in being able to have a meeting day during the school days rather than come on Saturday, when there are so many de- mands on our time for other things. The Gilbert Club has given several num- bers on programs for Parents' Nights and several other school occasions, but we have not been able to give a large exhibition of our own because the music we use 'for our dances is very much limited on account of the piano we have to use. That instrument has seen such long and hard service at par- ties in the gymnasium that it has lost a great many of the most important keys on its keyboard. So we are making the best of it by using what it will still play for us. VVe extend a hearty welcome to all former members to come and visit us any Friday afternoon from two forty-five to four fif- teen. VV'e have our lessons in the small gymnasium. VV hen the new Beaumont High School is opened, we hope we may be ab-le to continue our work as a new organization and with the joys of a real gym. to work in as well as a real piano to use for our accompaniment. One Hundred Seventy-three 41. 0 i OLD YEATMAN CLUBS HELEN M. E. BUTLER-january, 1926 . Il .this, the last issue of Yeatman I Life, it is entirely fitting that all the clubs that have flourished during i i the twenty-one years of the school's existence should be presented to the readers of Life. Those which now exist will be dis- cussed by their respective Life Correspond- ents. It is the duty of the writer to present the organizations which once flourished at Yeatman but have ceased to be a part of the school's extracurricular life. GIRLS' DRILL CORPS The Girls' Drill Corps, under the direc- tion of Miss Mary Smith, was one of the first clubs of the school. It was a gymnastic organization which specialized in fancy drill exercises. The membership was limited to twenty-four girls, who wore navy or royal blue Peter Thompson uniforms trimmed in gold braid for their drills. To the writer's knowledge, the organization was formed early in 1906, and was disbanded late in 1907 or early in 1908. THE CADETS The Cadets was a boys' military organiza- tion. They wore a uniform similar to the West Point every-day suit. Boys were not admitted unless they were at least five feet in height. During the summer, members of the club used to go to Camp Establishment, where they lived a true military life. The organization was undoubtedly one of -real value to the boys of the school. EXCELLA Excella, taken from the words, Eccle- sia, and Capella, signifying respectively the intellectual attainments of the Athenians and the grim determination of the Spartans, was the name applied to a boys' literary society. This club lasted for only a com- paratively short time, being organized in 1914. One Hundred Seventy-four THE GIRLS' LITERARY SOCIETY The Girls' Literary Society, which existed in Yeatman High School for a number of years, was an organization of girls who wished to study literature outside of school. Several of the girls would co-operate in reviewing a book, and would then present a synopsis to the other girls at their meet- ing. Debates, original poems, stories, and extempore speeches made interesting and vanied programs. Its great Eachievement was a Woman's Edition of Life. THE BOYS' LITERARY SOCIETY The Boys' Literary Society was conducted somewhat differently from that of the girls. Their chief interest was in public speaking, and all types of oratory. It was this or- ganization which furnished the debates of the school until the Debating Club' came into existence. COMMONS CLUB The Commons Club was an organization of boys conducted along the lines of the Literary Societies. Their programs usually consisted of debates, monologues, and short sketches. The membership was usually be- tween twenty-live and thirty. THE VIOLIN CLUB The Violin'Club in 1907 was divided into two rival sections, the boys' club and the girls' club. The members of both sections took part inthe Senior affairs much as the Orchestra does at the present time. THE CHESS CLUB The Chess Club was a very short-lived society. However, the enthusiasts who joined found the club extremely interesting. THE COLLEGE CLUB In 1906 there was organized in Yeatman High School a club for girls called the College Club. Naturally the girls were very Bs -be-Q..-....M-4-.----------v--------' ------- 7----A .-e -. -rf Y .: -Y:-.Y-Q--W Y , , A- 'A ' ' .

At their meetings the mem- bers discussed the relative merits of differ- ent schools. By this, the girls were enabled to make a wiser choice of the school in which to continue their education. THE SCIENCE CLUB The Science Club was originally organ- ized for boys, but after a while some of the girls asked permission to join. The club was unique in that it held only one regular busi- ness meeting a term. The rest of them were devoted to individual study of any branch of science that the various members chose to pursue. When Miss McGinnis left last june, the club was disbanded for the lack of a sponsor. THE LIVE VVIRES The Live XVires existed in Yeatman dur- ing 1916-17. Their -principal aim was to ?. boost Y eatmanf' They tried to extend their efforts in every direction. At one time they were very active in securing adds for Life. An organization of this kind would be very helpful now. We suggest that one be formed at Beaumont. THE CECELIA CLUB The Cecelia Club was an instrumental music club that throve in the early days oi the school. . - THE CAR-OL CLUB The Carol Club was organized by Miss Dussuchal for boys with unchanged voices. They added much to the pleasure of the school on more than one occasion. S. P. Q. R. Another literary club that flourished for a time interested itself in great nations of diiferent countries. It went by the impres- sive name of Senatus Populusque Romanus. .

Inspired by Eddy Wlalcher, a small group of congenial students from the several German classes of Yeatman conceived the idea of founding a German club, and in the summer of 1913 that idea becamea reality. .The meetings during that summer was held in the basement of the Divoll Branch Library, where Eddy XValcher was elected president of the club, and Miss Louise Fuhlhage kindly consented to act as its sponsor. Picture ten young people gathered around a table with Eddy at the head of it, Miss Fuhlhage at the foot, a large pitcher of ice water in the center. a few German books distributed 'among the members, a sign on one wall, Hier wird Deutsch gesproclienf' and you see the Deutscher Verein ready for action. After the opening of school in September. the meetings were held at Yeatman in rather a similar setting, minus the ice water. The chief purpose of the club was to make for free, spontaneous intercourse in German among the German students. as well as to promote sociability. German folk songs, anecdotes, stories and games made up the usual programme. Imagine how one might improve his German vocabulary by playing I packed my grandfather's trunk, and in it I put a snuff-box, ear-muffs, skull-cap, and so on, each player adding one more article but repeating all those that had gone before. Sometimes the programmes took a more serious turn. and deep and vital subjects were brought up for debate. One of the most notable of these was the one on Woman Sultrage, in which all tongues were loosed. One Hundred Seventy-six These programmes, of course, only mem- bers could enjoy, but before many months rehearsals were begun for their first play, Rosen im Schnee,'l which was presented to the school on December 27, 1913. Encour- aged by the success of their first attempt at dramatics in German, the Deutscher Verein later presented f'Eigensinn and Ein Amerikanisches Duellf' Neither must the Easter party with its exciting egg hunt, nor the hikes, especially the memorable one to Cliff Cave, be passed by without mention. Those twrv the happy days! To Miss Fuhlhage, whose genial spirit and untiring efforts gave inspiration to all who associated with her, the club owed a great deal, and former members take this opportunity to express their appreciation of her work. To its founder and first pres- ident. let- us say, Lebe Hoch, Eddy! It is to him that this issue of Y eatman Life owes the illustrated history of the Deutscher Yerein on the page opposite. From a mere handful of students in 1913, the membership of the organization had grown to more than fifty. However, in 1917, with the entrance of the United States into the World 1fVar, the teaching of German was discontinued in the public schools, and so the Deutscher V erein suf- fered a premature and lamented death. Members regretted this sudden end, just as present and former students of old Yeatman regret the passing of their dear Alma Mater as a Senior High School. Both were inevi- tab-le! Can we not look forward, perhaps, to a resurrection of the Deutscher Verein under more auspicious circumstances in beautiful new Beaumont?

First the ultra-collegiate hat worn by Mr. Fuller at the Yeatman-Roosevelt game at Maplewood. The cock of this cranium pro- tector worn by our honorable principal was enough to give any team a lighting spirit. XVe wonder whether the cock of this hat was really intended as a means of showing spirit or whether he was introducing a new style. Maybe it was an accident. W'e wish to ask Mr. Huntington if he bought tickets for all of the feathers which were in l1is hat at the Senior Color Raising Ceremony. If he did, he had enough to dis- place at least ten tickets. Maybe he took them when the Student Council wasn't look- ing. Who knows? We at least are sure that Mr. Kelly did not punch tickets for all of them. W'e at least must commend Mr. H. for his wonderful school spirit. One Hundred Eighty-two ' LOOK VVHAT AGE DID TO HIM!

It will surely add to the reader's pleasure to follow the careers of these makers of earlier isiuesl of the magazine, and to find that many have continued to develop the talent that they displiayed while in SC 100 . George Tandy, January 1909, attended Vifashington University brieliy and then en- tered business. He is now assistant sales manager for the Union Electric Light Co. Fred F ix, June 1911, better known in his High School days as Peter, was for two years the financial biulwark of Life . He has carried his business ability into com- mercial life, and is now a substantial citizen in North St. Louis, Secretary of the North St. Louis Planing Mill Co., and prominent in Masonic circles. Wiillard Farnham, june 1908, graduated brilliantly from the University of VVisconsin and took his Ph. D. degree at Harvard. He was an instructor in the Department of English at Xlfashington and Lee University for a time and for the last three years has been Associate Professor of English in the University of California at Berkeley. His record of the places in which Mr. Yveatman lived will fix in our minds landmarks which the steady march of the city has completely obliterated. Neil Brown, june 1914, graduated from Wfisconsin University, attended the first of- ficers' training camp at Fort Sheridan and served a year overseas as liaison officer. He is now assistant editor of the Execu- tive's Magazine , formerly The Wfest at VVork. Fred Doyle, June 1910, a capable Editor of Life -sometimes its chief contributor -is now studying at St. Louis University to become a Jesuit. Sucille Bryant, June 1907, remembered in the early days of Yeatman as the all round student, has had busy years since leaving Yeatman. After graduating from the Uni- versity of Missouri, she taught at Cleveland High School, in Hawaii, and did overseas war work. She is continuing her career as Mrs. C. A. Carlysle, manager of a husband and small daughter. Her home is in Bir- mingham, Alabama. ' Helen Landwehr, June 1917, attended Harris Teachers College and the University of Missouri and is now teaching in St. Louis at the Clark School. Wialter VV ood, the President of June 1918, speaks to us most appropriately in Taps, written while he was in camp. He is one of the gallant Yeatman boys who died as a result of the Wiorld NVar. Is the Beaumont the result of the Scho- lastic Sardine Can ? If so, the community should express its appreciation to Dorothy Davison, now Mrs. Eno 1Ninius, and Dent McSkimming, sport writer for the Post- Dispatch. Roma Schaefer, June 1924, is continuing her studies at VV'ashington University. Irene Krummel. January 1915, has been graduated from the City College of Law and is now ready to get us out of trouble. Herbert Rauch, June 1917, was last heard of on the way to Florida, where we hope he has already made his million. Valesca Satterlield, January 1918, is a physician. If he prescribes a rest cure for his patients, he will surely stipulate that it be spent in the Ozarks. Mildred Schleuter, June 1925, is busy making designs for her father's Wood- carving. Katherine Emerson, June 1922, another Life Editor, has made an enviable name for herself at the Purina Mills, where she has been the assistant in the personnel depart- ment. jane Gifford has continued her author- ship in Red Feather, a series of Indian stories for use in the grade schools. She is now teaching in the Horace Mann School, the model institution connected with 'Colum- bia University, New York City. Francis Kaiman, January 1914, is writing advertising for the National Bank of Com- merce.

Noel Stearn, June 1914, graduated from Leland Stanford University, where he be- came a gymnasium instructor for a time. Later, he took his Ph. D. degree in Geology at VVisconsin University. At present is an instructor there and is, besides, making him- self recognized as an authority on road materials. He still enjoys playing with rhymes and rhythms. The social anguish that he immortalizes in this issue of 'iLife should reconcile the present day Seniors and New Seniors to afternoon parties to which the girls do not need escorts. Theodore Vickroy, june 1917, one time Editor of f'Life, is now a very efficient efficiency man for the Bell Telephone Com- pany. Addie Beimes, june 1924, is in her Sopho- more year at Vlfashington University, where her Freshman scholarship record ea1'ned her a scholarship. Cloyd La Porte, June 1912, won the St. Louis Harvard Scholarship, graduated with highest honors, and was awarded a Euro- pean Travel Fellowship. He has recently been admitted to the New York law firm of which Mr. Elihu Root is a prominent member. Vera Putnam, january 1916, is now Mrs. Arthur Riechers. To her friends and a small public she continues to give pleasure with her charming voice. Frank Inteman, June 1920, is bookkeeper and accountant for the Evans and Howard Brick Company. Margaret Carrol, june 1919, is still writ- ing letters-not for royalty, but for a St. Louis business firm, whose capable secre- tary she is. Dewey Wfayne, January 1917. has been with the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad ever One Hundred Eighty-four since his graduation. He is now Secretary of the St. Louis District of the Central Freight Association. Marguerite Grace, June, 1914, is devoting her energies to encouraging the musical tastes of the rising generation. This she does in her classes in the public schools and in her own studio. James Kamp is a Sophomore at iVashing- ton University. Jesse Roberts, june 1915, after leaving Y eatman, graduated from Harvard, had ranching experience in New Mexico, was in the Harvard officers' training camp, became a 2nd lieutenant, studied at the University of California, took a degree in Commerce and Finance at Harvard, and is now con- nected with the maintenance and cost de- partment of a large manufacturing company in Los Angeles. Esther Johnson, June 1917, an enthusi- astic worker for Life,', indeed for all good things of the School, has recently returned from a visit to her relatives in England, a pleasure she indulged in with enviable fre- quency. During one of these trips she had a year's interesting connection with an Eng- lish school for girls. Gertrude W'alther, june 1917, attended Smith College and W'ashington University. She is well known among St. Louis lovers of The Little Theatre for her intelligence and charm as an amateur actress. Robert Fisher, June 1920, took his degree at the University of Missouri in 1925. His early interest in school affairs as recorded in HLife in the Portables is still with him evidently, for he is teaching History at Principia. Nanine Girard.

LOUIS A HORSE A BOY'S COMPOSITION Cas read by a boyj A hawse is a noble animal. I-Ie has four legs, one at each corner. The hawse has a head at one end and a tail at the other, which is diiferent from the elephant, for he has a tail at -both ends. There are a grate many kinds of hawses. There is the black hawse, the white hawse, the grey hawse, the brown hawse, the chestnut hawse and the hawse-chestnut, the reddish hawse and the hawsereddish. I don't like hawsereddish be- cause it gets in my eyes and makes them cry. TIICTGJS the saw hawse, the clothes hawse, the hawse voice, the hawsepital and the hawse-pistol. Besides this there is a Colt revolver, night-mare, mare-ily and Mary had a little lamb. The hawse is the only animal that wears shoes but he does not take 'em oii' when he goes to bed. Hawses have to work-If I was a hawse I'd wish I was a kow, cause kows don't have to work, only loaf around and eat all day and eat. You can always find a hawse in the street and you can tell him because he has big eyes and a head. The hawse has a How- ing coal-scuttle-Clooks intently at paperl- nof-the hawse has a flowing coal-black mane. Some boys like goats but as fer me, give me a hawse or give me deth.-Bison.
