It life ha been four hart year , but every day of those fou r years ·vvill always linger in the heart of each and every one of us. It was 011 September 2, 1919, that this brilliant group entered est Chi- cago High. Every one of our noble clas that had been graduated from grammar school the June previous entered high school and it i said that never before had such an intellectual group appeared in the clas room and study hall. THE BLUE AND WHITE 21 The first event of the year which arrested our attention was the annual weenie roa t. Then, as the leaves began to turn color, we ·were invited to a ma querade at whi°ch we Freshmen threw pumpkins and pie in great glee_. and brought the wrath of the faculty down upon our heads. Examinations came and went, and ,ve came back in the fall as Sophomore . Of cour e. as Sophomore ,, e gave the Freshmen a party. Altogether, thi , wa~ a rather uneventful year for even the active cla s of '23, for you will remember that in thi year we had a daily battle with Cae ar and geometry problem . After co nquering the e, we came back a the mighty, sophi ti cated Junior . f , t f our Junior year was spent on practicing our fir t class play, en titled 'The Lie. This play was a huge succe , due largely to the efforL of our principal. Ii Reed. and the author of the play. With the money de rived from thi play we a-ave the Seniors their farewell banquet. In thi year w 0 ain d fame in athletic , many of our mem hers making the basket ball, ba eball, and track teams. The ba ket ball team, ably coached by Mr. .\lthau . wa a great ~ ucce . . coming in second in the tournaments at both Elmhur t and Elo-in. gain we enter cl the portal of our beloved hio-h chool, and this time came hack as very . uperi or Senior . Thi year the ~chool had a football t am for the fir t time since 1912. The Seniors were well repre entecl by ix of iL memb r . Early in the year we turned our attention to our la play. whi h wa to I e giv en n December and 9. The play wa "David urry," written by Mi Jean Karr especially for the clas of 1923. It ,vas 0 aid to be the best play ever pre ented hy any cla, s of the We t Chicago Hio-h cho I. fter thi we decided to put ut an nnual. The taff was lected and w rk tarted immediately. Side were chosen called Blues and hite, for the purpose of sell1110- as many nnual as po ible. The lo er had to o-i e the winners a banquet. The Whites won the conte t by about j ~ty p int . The next e ent was a ma queracle given by the Seniors to their u ce r , the Juni rs. Prize were , on by. Homer Fowler, dressed as a ballet dancer. and R y arey, a a "nio-ger.' Last of all com ommence m nt, wh 11 we _hall receive our liploma. and clo e our High chool career. May it b our lot to be a ucc . ful in our later endeavor as we have been in our High chool cour e. L WRE CE RE r. CLASS PROPHECY By a slight twist in the management of our tourist party, further travel was made impossible for the evening. It was an African night-wild, eerie, inexpres ibly fantastic. Beyond ~ur camp a full moon wa rising, mocking in its odd brilliance the dead wastes of the great Saharan de ert. jackal howled; in the distance could be heard the steady beat of the native drum proclaiming the pas age of a strange safari. 22 THE BLUE AND WHITE I rose to my feet. The drums were louder, clo er, more weird. Iy comrades had nearly all fallen asleep or drawn off to orne remot corner to discuss preparations for the coming march. I passed between the two cam1 - fire . walked to the farthe t edge. and li tened. n odd lingerino- ilenc ! Then oftly, a though carrying some n1.essage on the wings of the night, the old steady beat came again. It reminded one of half-forgotten day , 1 t friendships, hours of youthful tudy. Ten years had pa ed ince I had la t left the old circle. I wondered in what paths the live of th e cla mate had fallen. But wait-the drum ! There \\·a. an dd t ry conn cted with them. Fate! Destiny!

"Yes, and look," continued Bobby. picking up a stick and beginning to stir the paints, "how nice it stirs." "Lemme do it," said his brother. "Aw, this is my pail.

THE BLUE AND WHITE 39 For ome time they worked vigorou ly daubing paint upon the shingles, until a great red spot shone brio-htly upon the roof of the barn. "Gee, don't thi look well?" said v ill.

Oscar Farren, Esq., was a self-made man, and knew it. When a boy he had decided on the career of a politician. His father was a poor man and a chronic pessimist, one of the kind who was always kicking on the rotten government. He and his neighbors used to have long, hot arguments over the graft and money getting of the politicians and the ease with which they secured their "dough." ow Jimmie, as he "as known, wa often a listener and, therefore, he decided on the life of a politician. It looked to him as the quickest and easie t way to immense wealth. Later he attended court proceedings and was fired with the ambition to become a lawyer. Accordingly, when he attained the age of 18 he studied la, with great zeal, and, possessing unusual talent was admitted to the bar when bu't little over 21. Ten years later he became judge of the county. He was now well started on his career, but was not growing wealthy as fast as he wished. However, he was living well, was a county favorite, and was quite prominent in his district. Therefore, when next election came, he became a candidate for representative in the state legislature. In this same city lived another young man. He v as al o a elf-made man, but John South had not risen very high as yet. He had just attained the position as reporter on a large daily paper. His first day on the job had not been very successful. It wa 4 o'clo k and he had been able to find nothing he thought would make good "copy." s he trolled down the street he saw a poster which read: "Vote for Judge J. 0 car Farren, Esq., for State Representative." Suddenly he had an idea. Why not call on this man, inform him that he was a representati e of the "Globe" and reque t an interview. He , ould probably get it because the man would want advertising. He, therefore, hurried to the home of J. Oscar. Farren, Esq. Now J. Oscar had a valet who was very fond of finery. In the after noon a Watson was tidying the judge's , ardrobe, he came across an especially fine dress suit. He held it up before his admiring eye and thought that this was his chance to dress up for once. Wat on knew that the Judge was at the Country Club, where a dinner wa being gi en in his honor and would not return until late in the evening. o he put on the uit, carefully brushed his hair, and securing one of hi ma ter's expensive cigars, settled luxuriously in a big easy chair in the den. About this time the door bell rang. At first he was very much agitated and decided not to an wer it, but as the ringing kept on insistently, he went to the door. South stood on the threshold. Surveying the elegantly dressed individual before him, and wondering why so great a man should answer the door in person, South said, "Have I the pleasure of speaking to J. Oscar Farren, Esq.?'' Now Watson was very greatly flattered by the mistake in his identity and accordingly declared himself to be no less than J. Oscar Esq. ' "I am a reporter from the "Globe,' " said South, "and would like very much to have an interview with you." THE BLUE AND W HITE 41 Watson escorted him to the den and South began to question him on his views in politics. Wat son was a radical Socialist and very well read. He launched off into a long discu sion of the rottenness of the government and a general a buse of all its officials and of the moneyed class. J. Oscar was generally supposed to favor the upper class; therefore, such statements from his lips were startling to South. They were also startling to the public and to J. Oscar him elf the next morning when they appeared in black-faced type on the front page of the "Globe." South had secured something big and hi salar w a immediately increased twenty-five per cent, and his tancling in the eye of hi employer one hundred per cent. bout noon a very indignant gentleman bur t into the office of the editor-in-chief of the "Globe," and in a rage demanded the officers who were with him to arrest the editor and all hi taff for libel. The editor who demanded the rea on for all this had the headlines of his paper pointed out to him with a haking fi nger. " ... 1y reputati n i ruined and it's all lie !" Farren cried angrily. 'l\1y dear ir, calm our elf," oothecl the editor. J. 0 car controllin o- hi rage a he t he could, told the editor that he wa-: at the Country Club the preceding afternoon and had had no interview with any reporter. ou th , a called and declared that this was not the man he ha l een. T he three , ent to Farren' home and Watson was pointed out. "But how oul I you mi take him for me when he \\ a dre sed in those cl the ?' ' a ked F arren. "He wa dre ed in th fine t WANTED- --A HAIR STRAIGHTENER nc upon a time there w a a certain young man w ho had very curly hair. He did n t like t hi because he thought that only gfrls and women should have that kind of hair. ccordingly he went to an unreliable drug store. Said he to the druggist who pretended to know all drugs and how to use them, "Y-Y-you see, I ha e very curly hair, and, seeing I don't like it, I ·wonder if you could sell me a preparation to straighten it out." "Oh, yes, I certainly can," said the druggi t quickly centing a sale, for he did not get many, "I certainly can. I have here a compound that I guar antee to work in a week's time. Just put a tablespoonful in a basin of water and wa h your head. It can't fail." 42 THE BLUE AND WHITE "All rio-ht, I'll take it,' the boy replied. He used it faithfully f r a \Yeek. Soon he noted with alarm that the hair ,va beginning to drop out oYer the crown of his head. He went to the druggist and said angrily "I thought you said this preparation would straighten my hair. Look," he cried, as he pulled off his cap, "my hair i all coming out." "Oh/' aid the druggist, "I did not say that it would lea e rn the hair. I said it would take out the curls." -ARVILLE HO RD.

There were Tommy and Jimmy, the twinsJ aged eight, Mary, aged thirteen and Mr. and Mrs. Smith. They were all very happy and talked and laughed together, but a keen observer would have noted that Mary's laughter seemed a trifle forced.

THE BLUE AND WHITE 45 THE MEAN FELLOW A new famil had moved to town. With them came a boy of 15, a big jolly fellow, ery good hearted, but one who loved to annoy the younger boys. Dr. Gray's twin , aged 11, he e pecially took delight in teasing. One fall evening the twins et their traps on the banks of a small pond, now very low, around which o-rew hundred of cat-tails. Among these cat-tails the rabbit played on moonlight nights. The boys had often seen them and now decided to catch ome for pet , if po ible. !though their father had told them that they c uld never tame these wild creatures and had promi ed to buy them me tame rabbit . they were determined to catch their own. ccordingly, they ecured a large wooden box and by means of two cro ed tick propped up one end of it and et their trap. The next morning they returned to the pond to see what luck they had had. They found their trap prung and track in the now beneath it, but their prey , a gone. 'Some one mu t have tolen the rabbit!" aid one of the boys. "There ·wa certain! · omething in our trap, replied the other, "for, see, ther are track all around and under the box!" "Who d ou upp e did it?" 11 there i only ne other b y I know of who has traps here, or ever com here.' "Who?" "John . tone, that bio- bully who w n't let u alone."

THE BLUE AND WHITE 47 ''THE LIE'' The entrance of the class of 1922 into the dramatic world was of course a memorable one. E, erything "" as new, everything important, from the selection of back drop scener) to the proper shade of makery. l\.fiss Karr, the author of "The Lie" was also our director. Had it not been for the combined efforts which she and Miss Reed so unreservedly made, our first attempt before the footlights would have gone clown to ig nominiou defeat. The plot centers about the disappearance of a sum of money in a black bag from the home of a prominent business man. It had belonged to a wealthy maiden lady, an excitable person who immediately lays the blame on an innocent young man. The bu ine man's daughter, by telling a lie make the evidence still stronger again t the accused. The last scene 1s shifted to a court where matters are cleared up. the real thief arriving m time to ave hi friend from conviction and the daughter confessing her part. The character were well cho en, Donald Buchanan as Mr. Edwards, Thelma Fisher a Mr . Edward , and Edna Hopkins in the part of the pet ted daughter. Her friends a so iated in the plot were Chester Wirsching as Teel Harrison, Lawrence arey a Phil, the renegade thief. and Dorothy Car, " ell as Catherine. Grim, fu y, Aunt Sophia was well portrayed by Helen Kee Dinny, the Iri h gardner a played by LeRoy Carey, and Delia, the housekeeper, portrayed by Evel n Haffron kept the auaience in gale of laughter. In the court scene "ere a tern judge "ith a pro ecuting atton{ey and a lawyer for the defense. Harold Lazier a the judge, Kenneth Lunak as prosecut r, and Richard Rudd a the defending counsel were excellent. El sie Carl ·on a the mother of innocent Marty, William Shatwell, was very effecti e. "THAT'S THAT" The Junior made their fir t appearance in the dramatic world on Fri- day e enino- pril 13th, and . howecl the citizens of West Ch:cago that the cla, s of '23 , ere not the only actor . The plot is briefly this: Mary Carter, the mainstay of a careless f~m ily consisting of Mr. and Mrs. Carter Juliette, a butterfly, Sonny, an indus trious older on, and Ted, a mischievious kid brother, is in love with Jim Smith, the ice man. One morning Jim tells Mary that his uncle's family is quarantined ,vith the small-pox and he is going to take care of them. Mary insists on going with him. The Smythe family, consisting of Mr. and Mrs. Smythe and their dudish son Victor, fall in love with Mary and determine to keep her, but when, three days later, the doctors decide that it isn't small pox and lift the quarantine Mary returns home to find it considerably upset. 48 TH E BLUE AND W H Jq'E With the help of Ted, she soon straightens things out and gives "Julie" to understand that thereafter she must share all the work with her. Meanwhile Mr. Smythe decides that he must find Mary, and, as she is known to them only as Mary, he offers a hundred dollars for her return. Victor discovers her ·when he calls on J ulie and summons his father and mother. T hus t he two families are brought together and Mr. Smythe, who is the employer of Mr. Carter and John, gives each a promotion and sanc tions the engagements of Mary and Jim and Julie and Victor.

Edna zer "DAVID CURRY'' In David Curry, the class of 1923 made their bow before a most discrm inating public. This production far surpas ed anything ever given in the high school and its author, Miss Karr. must be given clue credit for a ma - ter piece so cleverly written. For the title role LeRoy Carey wa selected in which he s ored a great success. The audience forgot LeRoy and remembered only the man of the plains, clean hearted and splendid. Thelma Fisher a Cynthia Dunlap, ably starred opposite LeRoy. The first scene portray the Dunlap family in the city thoughtlessly pursuing their own pleasures; and end in heart breaking remorse when they realize their mother has died while they £rol licked. The second scene shifts to Texas where the D unlaps are v1s1tmg David Curry and his sister Margaret. Cynthia is wooed by a rich man from ew York, owner of a large oil well, and is u rged to accept this suitor by her sister Polly and her husband, Tom W ell ington.

Here the crowd became more rabid Clamored loudly for a goal, And he let the third one pa him And lost at the sixteenth hole.

At the same time it furnishes one of the easiest ways by which certain communicable diseases are spread. A generous supply of safe cow's milk is a rich blessing to infants and children. Infected milk may bring young lives to an un timely end or it may so affect the health of infants or children that they will be seriously handicapped throughout life. The importance of milk as a food product, especially for infants and children. and the very grave dangers to health that often accompany the use of raw or unpasteurized milk, have led the State Department of Public Health to inaugurate a cam paign in favor of the pasteurization of all milk offered for sale in the municipalities of Illinois. The State Director of Public Health recommends that all cities in Illinois adopt and rigidly enforce an effective ordinance requiring the pasteurization of milk. MARX BROS.
