When we entered High School, our class was quite large, and we experienced various troubles. We have had our taste of civil war. But if there were any factions, they have united, and for one year, at least, the last, our class has pulled together, and we are really very congenial. This last year we have actually accomplished much, for our activities were such that not only the Seniors themselves, but all the school, has good cause to be proud of 1913. During the year, a Student Council was organized, largely through the efforts of Mr. Anibal, for the purpose of giving a part of the administration of the student body and its affairs to the elected representatives of the students. As it was rather late in the season, when the first meeting was held, one cannot yet give a fair estimate of its worth. Other schools have started Student Councils with varying results, but the most of them have turned out well. We believe that ours has the best parts of all those in the vicinity. When the constitution was being adopted, one section in particular was opposed by the Seniors. The proposed Council was to be composed of three Seniors, three Juniors, two Sophomores, and two Freshmen; the President, to be a Senior, only to vote in case of a tie. This gave the Seniors a voting strength of two, while the Juniors had three. Of course the Seniors' objection was sustained by the students and "four Seniors" were substituted for "three Seniors." The Seniors-insisted on this change, not for their own good, but for the general welfare of the school. Next year 1914 will be the Senior class. It is with greatest regret that we announce the departure of Miss Lane from Glen Ridge High School. She is to marry, in June, Mr. Ellison Hildreth, whom the Baptist Missionary Board is going to send to China. They will start for China in September, and will probably be located at Santow. Miss Lane has been a great help to the school, and it will be very hard to fill her place. The girls have appreciated her, especially, for she has been so eager to help them in basketball. They will certainly miss her help next year. However, in spite of the loss that we shall feel, we wish her the very best happiness! femora (Class of 1913

UMBERS and ability go hand-in-hand. This year's Senior Class has been no exception to the rule, N for 1913 is the largest class graduated so far, and—as zve noble ones think—the best. The Senior boys have done well in Athletics, and we also have THE football player. It is not necessary to mention his name, for his renown has spread and you all know him! And as for the girls, we have in our class the best athletes in the school, and, with one or two exceptions, all of them. Remember that last

Odd-Even game, vand the Inter-Class Girls' game! Those show exactly what our girls can do. 1913 also abounds in "nerve"—of the right kind. It certainly was not numbers, nor weight, that made six Seniors take nine hats away from ten Juniors. Two to one odds is what puts the Seniors on their mettle. They just "sailed in" and took away the hats. We are all glad (for the sake of the Juniors) that there was no Junior-Senior Girls' Hat Rush. Our girls know a thing or two. JJniitiriiutal IB^rorbs

N its Freshman year, the Class of 1913 had a notable addition, hailing from Q, Crawfordsville. Indiana. The first year he had little to say, and was HUB somewhat diffident and bashful, but as a Sophomore, he blossomed forth as a silver-tongued orator, and has continued to remain as such. That year there was a great debate between the Coney Islanders and the Anti-Coney Islanders, sometimes known as the "Light Fantasticers."- "Tug" threw his weight with the former ; of course they won. It would have done Daniel Webster good to have heard that boy talk! There are but few in the High School who dare match their wits against Norman's. One of these lately ended a discussion, one must not say quarrel, with him. It lasted just three weeks. Such bursts of sublime eloquence have rarely been heard in Glen Ridge ! We are very glad to say that the matter was nicely settled, for it would have been a shame to have seen such orators come to blows. As many will testify, "Tug" is singularly adept at that peculiar art, also. WIEEIAMS "Durn it" ISABEL HOLMES RAYNER "IZZY' "Soul of the age! the applause! delight! the ivonder of our stage!"—Ben Jonson. Play (2); Class Editor of "Comet" 13); Basketball (3, 4); Basketball captain (41; Vice-President (4).

[ELL, here's Isabel, the basketball captain, who took it upon herself at the ^^^ busiest time in the season to develop whooping-cough ! But our sympa- thies were with her, and she soon rejoined us. And now, as we reflect— as we are graduating—and look back over the four years in High School, what would we have done without Isabel's jolly and melodious laugh, which often lightened the monotony of the study hall. Isabel and "Dot" Teall, our two literary geniuses, have been writing a story, and we hope to see it published soon. We certainly believe that we'll be proud to say "They belonged to 1913 !" But, anyway, it is a foregone conclusion that the most of the noted people of the next decade or two will spring from 1913. "Izzy" was the prompter at "St. Patrick's Day," but of course she was not worked at all. "Me for the river." MARJORIE BLYTHE "MARJIB" "As merry as the day is long."—Shakespeare. Basketball (3); Secretary (4); Student Council (4).

ARJORIE'S fame in basketball is great indeed, and well she deserves it, but it is only a tinkling sound to her prowess in the noble game of Five Hundred. At the card party some of us were quite proud of our scores, but when we saw Marjorie's we changed our minds. We have the idea somehow that she is just the right sort for a good poker player. How about it, "Marjie"? In the inter-class basketball game she did some fine work and with her help we won the game by a good score. We expect to hear much of Marjorie at the Normal School, and afterwards. Perhaps some day we will read with pride some such treatise of hers as "The Effects of Solitaire on the Growing Mind of a Child."

MONTCLAIR NORMAL SCHOOL "For Heaven's sake!" WILLIAM PENN FISHER, JR. "BILL' "His very foot has music in it As he comes tip the stairs."—Mickle. Play (2, 4); Business Manager "Annual" (4); Student Council (4); Baseball (4); Treasurer (4).

ILLIAM came to us from the wilds of Pennsylvania. As he was at first w neither quarrelsome nor eloquent, he did not figure much in the few class mm differences, but this last year, in spite of his protests, he was elected treasurer, and he became a celebrity. (We don't say that all class treasurers become celebrities, because we know of one who didn't.) He is our only football player of any note. But as football is not recognized here, as it should be, much of his deserved glory has been denied him. Just the same he showed what he could do at the last school game. At the first game his modesty hindered his playing. You remember that jersey? "Bill's" future vocation is easily determined, if the present state of his mind has anything to do with it. He will be a negro minstrel singer! Otherwise why those thunderous songs on the stairs ? We must confess that we never considered him in the light of a vocalist. He thinks differently, and perhaps we were mistaken. Anyway, continued practice and incessant striving ought to give a successful result. Good luck, Bill!

POST GRADUATE "Heilige Katsen" RALPH BUFFUM BRISTOL "BRIS" "Get money, still get money."—Jonson. Vice-President Class (II; President (3); Play (2, 4): Business Committee Play (2): Business Committee "Comet" (3J Business Manager "Comet" (4); Captain Second Basketball Team (4); Student Council Committee (4 1; Debating Team (4); Presenter of Class Gift.

Q ALPIi is the peer of the High School business men. We hear, with truth, that he is the best one going for sighting, chasing, catching and taming the elusive "ad." So, if you want to do something well financially, don't do it yourself, but ask "Bris." This is well known in the High School, and so Ralph is always at the money end of any affair. We consider that a very good place to be, and that's why we like him. Altho it was the staff of the Comet which awarded the prize for the best story, it must be remembered that it was Ralph and his able colleagues on the Business Committee who earned the cash, and paid the bill. They are, and Ralph particularly, entitled to some praise. A good business man is exactly what every class needs and Ralph occupies this position in ours.

AMPIEEST "Oh Gad!" PERCIVAL UNDERWOOD BIRDSEYE "PUP" "A li on among ladies."—Shakespeare.

Football (1) Exchange Editor "Comet" < 4 j; Debating Team (4); Business Manager Play (4); Play (4); Athletic Editor "Annual" (4); Class Prophet. NE day there was a knocking at the gates of 1913. A little stranger desired VJ admittance. SgjwJ "Who are you," we asked, "and why should you presume to join our class ?" "I," quoth he, "I am the American Kipling." With such a recommendation, even from himself, we dared not leave the gates closed against his entrance. In this manner Percival joined us. His professions are many and varied. Essayist, orator, critic, poet, athlete, expert dancer and poker player; he is each and all with equal success and ability. Altho, perhaps, most of us disbelieve in his political ideas, we have all of us been benefited by his opinions on Burke and Carlyle. This is really true. "Pup's" dearest wish, we think, is to have a "grand opera" performance by the Seniors. His pleadings would have won over most of them had not their minds been set on a vulgar vaudeville. Our aesthetic friend could not and would not favor such a plan, so the class and he remained for some time at loggerheads. It is a shame that not more of us are true lovers of the "sublime and beautiful."

BUSINESS 'Thais' a lie" EDWIN LEVI BEST "BESTIE" "Then he would talk, good gods, hozv he would talk:"—Lee. Class Treasurer (3); Business Committee Play (2); Debating Team (4>; Student Council (4); President Student Council 14); Editor-in- Chief "Annual" (4).

R. EDWIN BEST has always been much in the public eye. His personality is sure to excite remark, and to gain attention, and his often and clearly expressed remarks always produce thunders of applause. His peculiarities lend themselves readily to the brush of the artist, and to the pen of the writer. His liking for and his knowledge of poultry are made known to all with monotonous regularity. Also, his chance remarks, considered very brilliant by the vulgar multitudes, are eagerly snatched up by the school paper. Of late he has hired a manager to hoard up his ideas carefully. The public must pay well for them hereafter. Incidentally a football player, "Bestie" is first, last and always a business man. Many are his plans to do the public. Lucky indeed is anyone who has escaped the snares arranged for unwary feet by this calculating schemer ! We have good news ! The school is to be greatly blessed by another vear of this paragon's company. No, he did not flunk. Only a "P. G."

POST GRADUATE COURSE ..ROLY CATS„ MARIAN LOUISE JONES "JONBSY" "Is she not passing fair?"—Shakespeare. Basketball (1, 2, 3, 4); Captain Basketball (3); Play (1. 4); Vice-President Athletic Association (4); Athletic Editor "Comet" (4); Associate Editor Annual" (4).

ARIAN is one of the twin shooting stars; both are of the first magnitude. __ We may certainly be proud of her, for she is correctly considered one of SiSjjJ the best forwards that Glen Ridge High School has had in years. Remem- ber that Odd-Even game! She certainly showed how she could shoot then; also in the outside games. Not only do we have in Marian a star basketball player, but also one in the dramatic field. We are, of course, referring to that Senior play. Could anyone have played the part of Lauretta better than Marian? No indeed! Perhaps if there had been a part for her that was a little more talkative she would have made even a greater success of it. Of course, we do not suggest that Marian should make the stage her profession; we could not do that. But we would just like to remark that zve are sure that she would make a success of it.

WEELESLEY - "Glory Peter" DOROTHY WILLIS LONG "DOT" "Her voice was ez>er soft, gentle, and low:"—Shakespeare. Play (2).

TT\ ERHAPS some of us consider Dorothy or her name as an ambiguity. Almost with reason, we should think. Altho Dot is hardly "under six rtWwl inches," she is not exactly synonymous in regard to her elevation with her last name. But then, after all. "What's in a name?" Such is the thought of her many friends and admirers. We have just one fault to find with Dorothy—if it is a fault. That is, she is entirely too retiring. She doesn't talk "enuf." In our class most of us are great talkers, and are famed thruout the school for it. But perhaps this seeming fault is really a virtue—who knows ? "Dot's" little speech in English on "If you are good you'll be lonesome" was very good, and the little poem, "Never flirt, and you'll be lonesome, etc.!" at the close was very clever and appropriately given. "Dot" has good ideas occasionally.

"Pu-tah," "Good-night"

V ESTHER ELIZABETH OAKES "Es," "OAKESY' "Alack! there lies more peril in thine eye than in twenty—swords."—Shakespeare. Basketball (2, 3, 4); Manager Basketball (41; Play (4).

A"-- SIDE from her record in basketball, Esther's chief claim to fame is that ___ mouse, and that shriek which she gave when she saw it! But that was long ago. Now the admiring applause is for her ability in basketball, or for her giving the right date at the right time. Of course, the time when she said that Christianity was introduced into Great Britain in 55 B. C., or when she said that the Restoration occurred in 1066 were only slips of the tongue. She didn't mean to say that, but she did, because she was thinking of something else. And then her opinions in psychology, metaphysics and the like are really wonderful. The rest of the class take positions in the back row when Esther begins to propound her views on these subjects. All the same, don't think that all her time is spent on these interesting subjects. Oh, no!

WHEATON "Good Grief" MARGARET JOSEPHINE PRICE 'PEC" "For softness she, and sweet attractive grace."—Milton. Exchange Editor "Comet" (3); Art Editor "Comet" (4).

ARGARET PRICE, a young lady of great charms, is, we believe, a M linguist of the most extraordinary talents; 1913 can boast of no better. Her sight translations are simpiy transcendent; no word has been too much for her. For a while she circulated the report that a page of "T's" was missing from her Virgil vocabulary, but no one was troubled, as we all knew that imagination would amply make up for such insignificant deficiencies. Don't think her remarkable from a scholarly standpoint alone, for Miss Peggy is a belle of undeniable beauty, and those that sing her praises are innumerable. Besides her talent for coining words, she has a very fascinating way of drawing. Also, tho her prose compositions are excellent, the few poems that drop from her pen are, in comparison, like oases in a desert. But the aforesaid talents are m precisely what one would naturally expect of one of 1913. SMITH "Oh, you know what I mean" MIRIAM ROCKWELL "MLRL" "The •rattling tongue of saucy and audacious eloquence."—Shakespeare. Play (4); Athletic Editor "Annual" (4).

IRIAM, feeling the seductive and widespread influence of 1913, fled from ' the busy turmoil of Newark to seek refuge with us last year when we were SBSil Juniors, and has benefited greatly by us. Altho (unfortunately for her and for us) she missed the first two years of 1913 life in the High School, she has been most loyal to the class, for she felt that she must make up for lost time. She has been a great help in the basketball of the school, especially to the Senior girls. Also, Miriam's part in the play as a devoted wife and mother is to be highly commended. Congratulations! Miriam, we believe, is some kind of an artist, or something. Anyway, she continually has some sort of metal construction work about. Whatever it is., of course, it is the best ever.

BUSINESS "For the love of siveet hope" DOROTHY JUDD TEALL "DOT" " Your name is cjreat In mouths of wisest censure."—Shakespeare. High School Orchestra (3. 4); Class Editor "Comet" (4); Salutatorian.

f~rv OROTHY is our infant prodigy, and has long been recognized as such. I ^ She is the youngest member of our class, and has marked literary ability. wS^ She also seems to have a system, known only to herself, for getting the best marks for the least possible amount of studying. 1913 can rightly be called musical, because Dorothy belongs to the orchestra. Thus, in the future, we will probably hear of her both in literature and in music. "Dot" is also quite a debatress. The last time she was in a debate she didn't have the right subject, altho she won. We expect to see her making her mark as the champion of woman suffrage. The words she now uses are continually increasing in size. Soon they will be such that they would surprise Noah Webster himself.

WEEEESLEY "Oh dear!"

if'^" WILLIAM KENNETH WILSON "PEWEE" "I am the very pink of courtesy."—Shakespeare.

Business Committee "Annual" (4) "Annual" Photographer (4); Historian, Play (4)

O one ever accused "Ken" of setting Toney's brook on fire. That is a very good sign. Kenneth is one of those very scarce dependable fellows. Our school is full of oratorical wonders and so-called prodigies, but we have few of "Ken's" kind—the workers. Also, he ne.ver interrupted a class meeting by shouting out some nonsense in a raucous voice. Few there are who can have that said of them. "Ken" is also an athlete of the first class. We can honestly say that he saved the game for the "Romans" last fall. For if he hadn't tackled Fisher that time ! And count the goals he has made against the Varsity in basketball. We expect much from Kenneth at the track meet this year.

LEHIGH "Yaivcob Straus" Kmtinrs (Slasa of 1914

President LEONARD KNOX Vice-President ICATHRYN HINRICHS SeiStary-Treasurer.—IZhlZAB'ETIi JACKSON

TiT E were very glad to get back to school last fall and become "upper classmen," so that we could look " ' down upon the little Freshmen and Sophomores'as we have been looked down upon in former years. Besides the Junior-Senior dance we have had only one real sociable so far, but we really enjoyed ourselves so much then that it made up for the rest of the time. At this party, which was held at Leonard Knox's on Washington Street, we initiated Alan Beggs, Marion Roubaud and Mary Scheffey into our distinguished class organization. Perhaps we were: very cruel to these poor people, but anyway they managed to come out cheerful, and with only a few bruises. During the winter, when Macbeth was being played in Newark, a large delegation from 1914, with Mr. and Mrs. Anibal as chaperons, went down to see it. We enjoyed it immensely, especially as we had just been studying it in class. But let us say that the affair which caused us the most trouble and anxiety was the play, "The Cricket on the Hearth," which we presented on Saturday evening, the third of May, and which was voted a great success by all. "KNOXIE" Leonard is our original Bowery tough, imported direct from the Bowery. You don't believe it ? Look at him the next time he wears his derby on the back of his head. Yet, strangely, perhaps, he has the respect of his class. When he is nominated for any office, most of his class go so far as to vote for him. 1914 is improving, apparently, altho they are still a queer lot. eJS

"BETTY" We are told that as yet "Betty" is undecided as to her future career. She does not know for sure whether she will be an authoress or an actress. We think the former, because "Bettee" does so dislike society. Still, she would make a fine actress, for she really wasn't crying every one of those many times she put her head on her desk and sobbed.

"REYNOLDS" Some have said that 1914 is'just an ordinary class. This is entirely untrue, for it possesses Reynolds, the wonder of the community! Without doubt he is the greatest man in Glen Ridge—in his own peculiar way, and in his own estima- tion. His voice, soul stirring; his use of expletive, simply elegant; his singing, too wonderful, too beautiful for this mortal world. We hope 1914 is proud of him. "BEGGSY" Alan is perhaps best known for his car, but lie does other things besides driving the car. He plays golf! This makes him peculiar in the eyes of many. They do not understand why anyone should hit a little ball with a stick, and then walk around until he finds it, and finally hit it again—all under a blazing hot sun. But if they would ask "Beggsy" he'd tell them why.

MARY This young lady is a great opponent of the so-called modern aesthetic dancing. If one should even mention one of the many disgusting names of these dances, Mary becomes infuriated. We would like to hear her express her opinions on this subject in her own style of expletive. This distinguished Junior is so bright that to miss a day of school is of no consequence whatever. If Mary manages to come one day out of a week, we feel highly honored.

MILDRED AND ELSIE Mildred Davenport and Elsie Sherer are the sharks of 1914. They swallow knowledge as the whale did Jonah. (Come to think of it, may be they are whales instead of sharks.) But unlike Jonah's habitation, they do not lose their knowledge again. Indeed, these two are very much like fishes. They swim thru school life swiftly, smoothly and silently. If these girls ever have to stay in, the whole school would collapse. "ROWBOAT"

Say, Marion, where did you find that "rag" you played this morning in Assembly? No wonder the faculty gasped and Mr. Danielson frowned. We must say we think you learned it from a cat which walked on the piano the other night. More likely it was a cow. Do you have a cow, Marion?

"JANE" Who is this tall damsel who is now before us? What is her name? Can you not guess? It must be Jane. Her carriage is so prim and precise—her manner so calm. She never runs, plays lively games, nor becomes excited. She cannot! But she has that smile for you!

"JIMMY" Cast your eye over him ! Did you ever see anything like it ? No, and you never shall. For he is the only one on "the Island." They don't make any more like him. Luckily, too, for our school is a peaceful one, and if there were two of these "Jimmies" they would always be fighting. And you had better believe they would raise the dust! But we will admit that he can play basketball. "SPEN" We do not know in what class to put "Speii." That is, we have not decided whether he is a regular "Soci," or just a "sporting fellow." But time will tell, and when he becomes a man—that is, a Senior—he will blossom forth undoubtedly into his true shape.

"MOORY" Dean is the school criminal. The deeds that boy has done are terrifying! It does not seem possible, but 'tis so. That child with such soulful eyes! But stop—smell of his breath. Oh, damning evidence! Cubebs!!

"ISAAC"

"Fat" Mishell is the only artist left in the school. Therefore, some advice to the editors and the like. Treat him carefully and kindly, flatter him, and above all don't curse him. Pie works best when you leave him alone. Therefore, the best thing to do is to tie him in an empty room and wait outside until he finishes. "EDDIE" This lad is a great and much honored fellow. But not on his own account. He is the famous fellow that he is purely and simply for his name. His Christian name is Edwin. There is another Edwin in the High School. This one has enough renown that he can share with "Eddie."

"BABE" LANG This youth, so young and tender, has no right to be in with such a rough and riotous gang as the Juniors. They might hurt him. Still they guarded him (or his hat—which was it?) well this fall. Eight Juniors and three Seniors! Even then he'd have been scalped if he hadn't scuttled home as fast as he could go.

"BABE" TAYLOR The memory of your big brother makes you greater than you should be. But alas! you have not his laugh, which we have not forgotten. Also, you know too much to be the real Arthur the Second. Try to cultivate a hearty guffaw, and don't study, for the sake of your honor, Babe! 1914 is highly honored to have two such remarkable "Babes" in their class. MARGARET Ikej Every class is blind to have a flirt among its numbers, and in 1914 little Miss Sanford has this role. Her downcast eyes and pouting lips make a great impression on the susceptible young gentlemen in Glen Ridge! And when she raises those eyes they all come up and feed out of her hand !

HARRY We are sorry to say that 1914 has little to be proud of. and most of this is contained in Edwards. He is the Juniors' strong-arm man. He did not have his hat taken with ease by the Seniors, for they had to fight to get it. Think of it! Two of our smaller members actually had to go up and pull his hat away from him! 1913 was quite overcome when they thus discovered tenacity of purpose in one of 1914.

"KAT" Kathryn is by no means a weakling. Yet she is the only Junior who did not make the class basketball team, altho she was the one who worked so diligently to organize the class team. Poor girl! Such is the ingratitude of one's classmates. But never mind that, for perhaps she 1pill make the team next year.

President .... GEORGE MINASIAN Vice-President FRANCES WATTS Secretary ...... LIONEL REID Treasurer SIGRID EDGE

\AT HEN we were Freshmen, how the upper classmen used to criticize us ! How they used to laugh at " ^ everything we did! But they did not know then what a distinguished Sophomore Class we were jaSire going to be. And they are soon to find out what a wonderful Junior Class we will make. Flunk? Of course not. Who ever heard of a 1915 student flunking? We are proud to mention the names of Margaret McLean, Eleanor Seymour and Daniel Mishell, who were inspired to study hard by the hope that some day they might be in 1915 class. Their desire was granted, for they were initiated into our class at the Progressive Dinner on February fifteenth. That dinner was very sporty ! Seven courses! We won't give the menu, though, for it would make your mouths water too much. This dinner, however, was not the opening festivity of the season. The dance held on November 28th, 1912, was the first great Sophomore event. It was given to the class by the officers. They surely did give us a good time, and we want to thank them again, altho it is about the hundredth time we have done so. The Sophomores have also distinguished themselves in basketball several times. Did they not help their sister class, 1913, to win the "Odd and Even" game? Of course we don't mean to give the credit of the hard work of a few to the whole class, but we just want all to know that we are proud of them. Much could be written about each individual, but we know now that members of the other classes, after leaving school, will be proud to say "such and such a person sat just across the aisle from me," et cetera.

President ...... WILLIAM HOPKINS Vice-President DOROTHY BLYTHE Secretary EMMONS ROBERTS Treasurer PRISCILLA GADSDEN

UR class is very large this year, and we enjoy ourselves very much. Our honored president at last H collected enough money to enable us to have a dance. This was held at Adele Jones' on Maolis Avenue, and we had a fine time and lovely refreshments. The cake was especially nice—it was angel cake. Our class colors are dark green and white, and so our girls felt especially patriotic on St. Patrick's Day, as nearly all put up their hair with a bright green ribbon around it. It was rather uncomfortable, but we felt dignified—and the effect in most cases was charming!?!?! Oh! On Friday, May second, there was a debate between the Sophomores and the Freshmen. Even if those everlasting Sophomores did win, the debate was very close, and our representatives, Miss Sayre, John Regan and Stewart Doolittle, did fine work! We are very promising in basketball, and are proud of our team. They have played some fine games, and they know how to work together. Our class is also well represented in the Prize Speaking Contest, for three of our members have screwed up courage enough to get up and "spout."

Alumni

HE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION, altho a babe of three years, is beginning to sit up and take notice. We have sixty-eight graduates of our High School, and a large number of them are members of the association. We also have among us as associate members quite a few who have attended High School for two years or more, and have then left, not having entered any other preparatory or high school. Last year, with about a sixty-hour notice, the Alumni gave a circus and dance, but this year, having plenty of time, we are going to entertain the Seniors with a play and dance. This is to take place on Friday evening, June thirteenth (don't mind the hoodoo), when the footlight stars of former years will endeavor to charm the crowds as before. One of our regrets is that two of our best artists, Miss Alice Bartholomew and Mr. Raymond Dorland, will not be able to take part, as just about that time "Ray" and "Al" will be getting married. We certainly do wish them the greatest happiness in the world, for they certainly deserve it—both of them. "Ray" is the first of our men to take the long, slow walk, and we congratulate him on his initiative. Some of us, perhaps, wouldn't mind doing the same thing, but we're hoping that Mr. Wilson reduces the tariff on diamond rings pretty soon. As for the girls of the Alumni, engagements and marriages are quite common. Why, it keeps the secretary working overtime to keep their names straight, for so many are changing theirs. At the annual meeting of the Alumni Association last December the following officers were elected

President GERTRUDE HINRICHS, '09 Vice-President. JAMES MOSELY, '11 Secretary.. ...HELEN FREEMAN, '09 Treasurer. FRANCIS SMITH, '08 A resolution was passed that any alumnus or associate alumnus, upon payment of one dollar, payable after January first, 1913, would be enrolled as a life member of the association. This -spring the executive committee, appreciating the help that Mr. Firman has always given us, elected him an honorary member for life. The High School now has six grandchildren. They are Herbert Alton Owen, Jr., Clare Glander, Jr., Charles Richardson, Jr., Stewart Selick Richardson, Katharine Clay and George Edward Nichols. Lieutenant Robert Calder, U. S. A., is now located in Honolulu, Hawaii. I-Ias anyone ever heard from George Vanatta, 1906? If anyone knows where he is, just let us know. "Chickie" Upton is out in Akron, Ohio, working for the Goodrich Tire and Rubber Company. We don't know whether "Chickie" goes up in balloons any more or not. After Wellman's accident, which he missed by one day, we'd think he stick to terra firma. Bernard Dailey, '11. is now residing in New York. Arthur Taylor, along with a few more Glen Ridgeites, has entered the insurance world. Gertrude Witte is doing settlement work in the Dobbs Neighborhood House in New York. Dwight March is on the lacrosse squad at Swarthmore and recently had the pleasure of a trip to Lehigh, where William Mayer is on the team. Some Glen Ridge people were down, and there was a great reunion. Alexander Calder, '05, who was recently residing in Chicago, is now back to New York.

TP ARLY in the second term. Mr. Anibal called the High School together, and asked them to elect Jsgi representatives, one from each class, to draft a constitution for a student council. This was JHHJ done and the Seniors chose Ralph Bristol, the Juniors George Reynolds, the Sophomores Frances Watts, and the Freshmen Mary Oakes. When the constitution was draughted it was on section by section by the student body. Only a few minor changes were made in the original constitution. The committee, with the help of Mr. Anibal, have drawn up a model constitution. The classes then elected their members to make the council a reality. The Seniors chose four representatives, Margaret Price, Marjorie Blythe, William Fisher, and Edwin Best. The Juniors, who had three to choose, elected George Reynolds, Margaret Sanford. and Elizabeth Jackson. The Sophomores elected two, Frances Watts and George Minasian, and the Freshmen two, Mary Oakes and William Hopkins. The Council has not endeavored to do much this year, for most of its actions were in building it up. Ground, House, and Inter-Class Athletic Committees were created in the first meeting, and others will follow soon. Also, necessary by-laws will be added. To make it a success, the Council needs the support and co-operation of the whole High School. All suggestions are and will be welcome. The Council is of the student body, and exists by its wish ; therefore, its regulations should be respected and obeyed.

Atltlrtir Association

F the first meeting of the Athletic Association in the early fall, George Minasian was elected president, Marian Jones vice-president, and Mr. Blend secretary and treasurer. Hopkins and Bristol were elected captain and manager of the football team, and Valentine and Minasian captain and manager of the basketball team, respectively. At another meeting at the close of the basketball season Reynolds was elected managei of the baseball team, and Knox captain and manager of the tennis team. A meeting followed of the 1912 baseball team, and Norman Wilson was elected as the 1913 captain. The total receipts of the Athletic Association for the school year have been thus far two hundred and seven dollars and twenty-three cents. Of this amount fifty-nine dollars were raised by membership dues and thirty-eight dollars and fifty-five cents from cake and candy sales. The class of 1915 generously contributed ten dollars. The remaining amount was derived from the proceeds of the various games. The affairs of the association have been so managed that, besides paying a debt of forty-six dollars at the beginning of the year, and meeting all the expenses thus far, there is left a balance of fifty-four dollars and seventy-two cents. The indications are that at the close of the year there will be no deficit.

A cup was offered by Mrs. Hinricks, and two teams were organized to compete for it. They called themselves the "Greeks" and the "Romans." Because of the weather only two games were played. In the first game Hazeltine, of the "Greeks," scored a touch- down, but no goal was kicked. Soon, however, Avery, of the "Romans," duplicated Hazeltine's performance, and the game ended a tie—six to six. Hazeltine sprained his ankle in the second game, and so he could not do much. Then, in the first play, Reid injured his knee, and so most of the rushing devolved on Fisher and Best. They were able to get the ball up the field, and at the end of the first half the scorc stood six to nothing, in favor of the "Greeks." But in the second half Avery scored again, and the goal was kicked, the final score being "Greeks" six and "Romans" seven. Inga' lasketball

Glen Ridge has every reason to be proud of this year's basketball record. Both the first and second teams had successful seasons. The Varsity won seven out of ten games played, while the second won six out of eight. Taking it as a whole, the season has been most satisfactory to all concerned. Next year, however. Glen Ridge should make even a better showing. The first team will remain intact for the 1913-1914 season, and the second team practically -the same. With their added weight and experience they ought to win even a greater percentage of the games played. Perhaps they will even equal the record of our champion 1910-1911 team. 1312-1313 larsitg laakrthall (Spam 3Ftrst S^ant iCttmty

T the beginning of the season, the girls decided to play a few outside games. But as it was inconvenient to play any I games away from home, only such games as could be played at Glen Ridge were scheduled. The first game, with the Alumni, was a victory, but Nutley defeated them. However, the next game with Nutley was won by our girls. Altho the rest of the season was not a success in the number of games won, they were close enough to show that the girls had made up a strong team. Perhaps if they had started in earlier they would have done better. 1312-1313 laraitg Steam tathrr ©akts, Managw* Jsabfl Saynrr, (Captain (girls laskptball (Jteam Forwards Centers Guards MARIAN JONES.

In the second game the field work was much better and.our boys batted just as well as in the first game. Our team has shown its ability to hit at the right time, which ought to make them a good scoring team. As yet they have not had a really hard game.

Our team and RB! the Woodbridge team are playing for a cup, which has been put up by the two schools. The results of the first tournament were: Doubles—Knox and Reid, Glen Ridge, against Throckmorton and Brown, Woodbridge; won by Woobridge, 6—1, 6—1.

HE third annual series of Boys' Interclass Basketball Games were played this winter. The series as a whole aroused more interest than in any previous year, but the individual games were not so HIH exciting, because there was one team which succeeded in winning all of its games, and this naturally dampened, somewhat, the enthusiasm of the other contestants. This team, the Sophomores, composed of George Minasian, Lionel Reid, Scovell Martin, Lucien Birdseye and Rickliff Reid, entirely outclassed the others. And well it might, for four of the team were varsity players. The Sophomores totaled 141 points to their opponents' 29, thus winning the championship and the cup.

Then, too, there was a good deal USUI of new material, and it looked as if the year was to be a good one for basketball. The inter-class games were started as soon as the few outside games had been played. At first the girls were interested, but towards the end of the season, when it began to get warm, they lost interest and the practices were not good. Often there were not enough players to make even two teams. We started with four teams, but as only one Junior played basketball, this team soon dropped out. Both the Sophomores and the Seniors defeated the Freshmen, and so the game between these two teams was the exciting and decisive one. The date for this game was changed many times, but finally it was played with five girls on each team. The Seniors won with a score of 20-7, and thus won the cup. Since there were so many good new players in the younger classes this year, it is hoped that next year we will have a team strong enough to defeat all the teams of the neighboring schools. The champion team of the Senior girls is as follows: Forwards MARION JONES (captain).

HE "Evens" wore green bloomers and ribbons. Some even say that they wore green . But we are bashful; we'll let that go. The "Odds" were clothed in purple and red. Both teams banished the usual "Psyches" and wore their hair in a new and startling style. When both teams appeared on the court, each surrounding its own animal, one would have thought that a battle between the French Anarchists and the Loyal Daughters of Erin was in progress. For most of the game the "Evens" led. The score at the end of the first, half stood 14-7 in their favor. Then the "Odds" took a brace and gained steadily. When the whistle blew the score was 18-18. This necessitated more playing, and the side which won the first two points would win. After much passing, without either getting an opening to score, a foul was called on the "Evens." The "Odd" forward shot the basket. One more.point was needed to win the game. Soon another foul was called on the "Evens" again the goal was shot, and the game was won! Pandemonium broke loose. With a howl, the Seniors and Sophomores jumped into the court. After that they treated the spectators to some very nice impromptu dancing. But what did they care? They, the "Odds," had won.

Those who attended the meet were greatly surprised in one particular. William Fisher, who failed to distinguish himself in last year's meet, won every race in the meet this time. But all the races were close enough to make them interesting. James Valentine easily won the shot put and the standing and running broad jumps. Therefore. Fisher and he were tied for first place in individual honors, each having fifteen points. ®rark itot j^rlipitolr

Around the -Seniors there was an ominous silence, foreboding a coming storm. The Juniors rajaffiy were plainly frightened. Some of the smaller ones strove in vain to quiet their chattering teeth. For a large bundle had arrived, and its contents had been distributed among the Juniors. Then the final bell rang, and the Seniors marched out—^six strong. Later came the Juniors—shall I say eleven weak? The Seniors collected at the wooden bridge, where they knew the Juniors must come. On they came— a long line marching in lock-step, and on each head a blue and white hat. On they came—the Juniors— nearer and nearer. Then they reached the Seniors, who fell upon them, as a great cloud of dust arose, hiding the scene. When it settled half the heads were minus their hats. The Juniors broke and fled, to be despoiled of their headgear at the leisure of the Seniors ! All but one, and this one had such diabolical ways of concealment that, though he was ransacked from top to toe several times the hat was not forthcoming. Thus was 1914 vanquished!

g>imtflr CEarb ilarty IN the evening of October 4, 1912, the Seniors came together at the home of Miss Margaret Price, to relax their minds (then so confused by the studies of Carlyle) with a few games of cards. They played Five .Hundred, a most fascinating game when properly played. One of their number who pretends to be a "hard guy" proposed poker, but his words were silenced by the jeers of the girls. Being in the majority, the Senior girls can and often do drown out the voices of the boys in jeers. But we digress. Some of the girls wished to play bridge or seme other uncouth feminine game, but the boys would have none of this. Of course Marjorie Blythe won; she always does. But still the others had scores close enough to hers to make the game an exciting one. With a pretty little card to score on, and ice cream to cool their excitement, they had an evening which the boys called "swell" and the girls "delightful." £rmnr progrpsatup Stutter

|N the evening of Thursday, May 29, the Seniors had their annual progressive dinner. Only Seniors were present at the dinner, and so it made it all the more select and enjoyable. We assembled at Esther Oakes' for fruit first, and from there we walked up to Percival Birdseye's for soup. Norman's house, where we went for our meat course, was but.a few yards away. The short distance many of us regretted, but it could not be helped. From there we went up to Marjorie Blythe's. This time we did not walk so fast, for we had already had three good-sized courses. Flowever, after partaking of salad there, we meandered along for about two miles and reached Marian Jones', where we had desert. After eating as much as possible we played all sorts of games and performed some really clever little stunts. Finally the little party broke up, but not until after voting that it was the best progressive dinner we had had during our High School course, and that we had had the best time!

HE Junior-Senior dance was held Friday evening, December 27. 1912, in the Assembly Hall. For X several days preceding this event everyone was called after to bring their lemons and oranges, and !M so that Friday morning we had a srood-sized waste basket full to squeeze—and squeeze we did with all our might. That morning also ( which was pouring) a few of us went around in some good friend's auto and collected easy chairs, rugs and sofa cushions to make our guests comfortable that night. The lights on one side of the I13II we're covered with purple paper, the Seniors' color, and the light on the other side with blue paper, the Juniors' color. The hall was decorated with other class ban- ners, and palms filled the stage, where there were some easy chairs. The lights were only lighted around the sides of the hall, so that it gave a more subdued appearance, in general, instead of the glare which so many lights would cause. We had about fourteen patronesses, and later in the evening their husbands strolled in to see if they were conducting themselves properly. Our music consisted of three pieces, which rendered us some fine dances. We had a pretty nice reunion, as most of the Alumni were there, and after dancing until the early hours of the morning we dispersed, having had a most delightful evening. She Mas Kington ®rip

N Thursday, April 17, over forty Glen Ridge High School students went on a shqrt trip to o Washington, accompanied by Miss Vera Thompson and Mr. Firman. They arrived in Washington about 6 p. m. that day. After dinner they paid a visit to the Congressional Library, where they were shown all over the building". The next morning they went first to the Botanical Gardens, then to the Bureau of Printing and Engraving. Here they were shown the manufacture of the United States bills. After that the party went up the Washington Monument, some walking up. .-.while others preferred to take life easy and ride up in the elevator. About 12 o'clock they arrived at the Capitol. After going all thru the building (and even after climbing all those stairs to the dome), they went into the Supreme Court room, where the Supreme Court was in session. They intended to see Congress in session, but when they got there they found that it had adjourned until Monday, which is a frequent habit of theirs. After lunch the little party visited the White House, where they had an appointment to meet the President and Mrs. Wilson. The remainder of that afternoon was spent at the National Museum, where there was much to be seen. Mr. Firman obtained a permit for the party to see the Roosevelt collection, which was not yet finished. In the evening most of the party went on a tour thru the city in a sightseeing car. On Saturday morning, after seeing the Treasury, they took a steamboat ride up the Potomac to Mount Vernon, where they went all over the grounds.and thru the house that Washington once lived in. In the afternoon they took the train for home, arriving in Glen Ridge about ten in the evening. We were kept "on the go" all the time, and did not have a minute's rest—not even at night. With the little side amusements, such as going down on the train together and the nights down there, we had a most interesting and delightful time, thanks to Mr. Firman's careful management. A similar trip will probably be taken again next year, and we hope it will be as successful as this trip was.

HE Seniors will attempt to m?ke the Class Day exercises for this year better than any of the preceding ones. This year's class has the best speakers, by far, that the school has heard in a long BlU while. Therefore, all the speeches should be very interesting. The Class History will be well worth hearing, for all the exciting happenings of our active class will be brought back to mind. Also Mr. Birdseye's killing humor should make the Prophesy a great success. That night will be the last time the class meets together as Seniors before they become Alumni.

SIjp Center play

N the evening of April 5. 1913, the Seniors distinguished themselves by giving their much-heralded play, "St. Patrick's Day," or sometimes known as "The Scheming Lieutenant," by Sheridan. The Seniors are not a sad class, and as they do not delight in tears and sobs, they gave a play which they thought would make anyone laugh. And it did! As the play progressed it was seen that Lieutenant O'Conner was hopelessly in love with the daughter of an irrascible English Justice. Thru the help of his friend. Doctor Rosy (a friend of the Justice's also), the Lieutenant, in disguise, gets a position as the guard of the daughter, Lauretta. But the Judge finds out the deception and drives him away. Next day, however, the Justice receives a letter from the Lieu- tenant saying that he has poisoned him. Of course this is only a pretense, but the Justice believes it is so. Doctor Rosy happens in and exclaims at the Justice's appearance, and the Justice, believing himself dying, gives vent to heart-rending groans. (We believe that all who were present remembered those.) Then the doctor says that he is unable to cure him, but that he will find someone who can. Accordingly he brings in the Lieutenant disguised as a German quack. This German oilers to cure him if he will give his daughter to him. The Justice agrees, and O'Connor cures him by disclosing to him that there will be blood shed, but the Doctor calms the Justice. anc: the trouble is settled. Several amusing little scenes are mixed in with the play, which added io the enjoyment of the audience. We extend our heartiest thanks to Mr. Crosskill, who helped to make the play such a success. 01?e (Cast Lieutenant O'Conner Norman H. Wilson Justice Credulous ...William P. Fisher, Jr. Doctor Rosy.

N the evening of May 3, 1913, the Juniors held the play, "The Cricket on the Hearth," adapted from S Dickens' celebrated story. The Juniors worked very hard on the play, and it was a great success in all ways—even financially. In Act I John Perrybingle, on his return home from work, brings in a deaf old man, who has asked for shelter over night, and his wife, Dot, seemed very anxious that he remain. Then Mr. Tackleton, the rich toy maker, comes in to invite John and Dot to his marriage with May Fielding. May, on the supposition that her former fiance, Edward Plummer, is dead, has been persuaded to marry Tackleton. Act II shows Caleb Plummer and his blind daughter in their home. Tackleton visits them, and asks them to come to a tea party which the Plummers and Perrybingles are to have. At the party the deaf stranger is also present. Dot withdraws with him, and Tackleton, suspecting a scandal, draws Perrybingle to a window, where he sees Dot removing the wig from the deaf man's head, disclosing a youth who has his arm around Dot's waist. Act III shows John sitting in his home, where he has sat all night. Having conquered his anger, he is going to allow Dot to return to her parents. Suddenly footsteps are heard, and the stranger entefs, proving to be Caleb Plummer's son, Edward. I-Ie explains that he disclosed himself to Dot, his old friend, who aided him in his disguise. Finding May still faithful to him, he marries her, teaching Tackleton a lesson. StjE (last John Perrybingle ..

N the afternoon of March 20, 1913, occurred the debate between the Juniors and the Seniors. The subject was: Resolved, That it would be more satisfactory and conducive to greater efficiency to have examinations come every six weeks and to have no final or midyear examinations. As the Seniors chose the subject, the Juniors chose the side, and they took the negative. The speakers for the affirmative were Percival Birdseye, Ralph Bristol and Edwin Best. The negative speakers were Leonard Knox, Mildred Davenport and George Reynolds. The two sides were evenly matched and the judges seemed to have a hard time to come to a decision. However, their verdict was for the Juniors. Friday, May 2, 1913, was the day for the Sophomore-Freshman debate. The subject was: Resolved. That the poor young man of today has a better chance to make his life a success financially than his fore- fathers had. The Freshmen had the affirmative in this case. The Sophomore speakers were George Minasian, Eugene Beggs and Rickliff Reid. The speakers for the Freshmen were John Regan. Elizabeth Sayre and Stewart Doolittle. This, also, was a close debate, but the Sophomores won. Stye Prize speaking. (Eonteat

N October S, some glass blowers gave a lecture at the Assembly Hall illustrating the process of glass o blowing. Prizes, such as a glass boat and a glass bird, were given to those selling the most tickets. We also saw how those plume-like effects worn on women's hats were made of threads of glass. It was very interesting, and then to add to the pleasure of the people the Senior girls gave a sale of cake, candy and punch before and after the lecture. Their net proceeds were a little over twenty dollars. We were all sorry that they didn't have more to sell, for what they had went too rapidly. On the second of November the High School met together for the first time since the summer vacation and held an informal dance at the Assembly. Punch was on hand, but it only lasted them the first three dances. Next time the girls won't make it so good, and then perhaps it will last a little longer. We had complimentary tickets, and invited some of our choicest friends. The evening slipped away rapidly, and all had a most delightful time. The fifth of November there was a great deal of excitement about the country and that evening the returns of the election were given in the school, where everyone could go and learn the results. At the same time coffee, delicious sandwiches of all kinds, cake and candy were on sale, and between times the people were allowed to buy whatever appealed to them. The proceeds were for the Athletic Association, and quite a good deal was cleared. The Boy Scouts of Glen Ridge gave an exhibition and entertainment on January twenty-fourth, showing the work that they do, and also what is taught them. It was very interesting, and afterwards the people enjoyed dancing. Thru the winter, and especially during the Christmas and Easter vacations, several evening basketball games were held with dancing afterwards in the Assembly. Most of the games were with the Alumni, Suburbanites and Wanderers. On March fourteenth Mr. Masson gave an illustrated lecture on "Humor" and before and after it the Sophomore girls (another energetic class like the Seniors) gave a sale of cake, candy, chocolate and punch. They managed to clear a nice little sum, too. Another High School dance was held in the Easter vacation on March twenty-sixth. Altho there was not a very large crowd there, we all had a fine time, and danced until we were put out, or at least until the lights were turned off. The classes during the winter held their progressive dinners, their parties, and their sleigh-rides, altho there was not much snow, and thoroughly enjoyed all. On April twenty-fifth Mr. Abbott gave an illustrated lecture on "Birds." It was too bad that more could not have been there, for the lecture was very instructive as well as interesting. This year Mr. Masson continued giving a short lecture to the High School students every month. The little talks have proved very interesting, and we extend our heartiest appreciation to Mr. Masson. In October he discussed items of interest, including mostly the birthdays of prominent men in history. In November he talked 011 the personality of Roosevelt, Taft, Wilson, and others. On December fifteenth a very interesting and detailed account of the Rosenthal murder. Then, on January twentieth, he outlined the most important events of the past twelve months, and on February twenty-seventh he spoke on current events, including the Balkan War. Since then we have not heard from him, but we hope that he will talk to us next year, for what he has said to us has proved very interesting. Between 10:35 and 11 a. m. on January seventeenth, Mr. Anibal conducted a very interesting class in physiology, much to the horror of the class's sole female member, Miss Marion Roubaud. On January sixteenth six Juniors and Seniors were fired from Assembly for singing too loud. We understand that some kind of a club has been formed during the winter of a fezv Freshmen and Sophomores. As far as can be found out, the purpose of this club seems to be to meet at each other's homes to eat and play "Wink." This year the teachers held two dances, the first on the evening of February fourteenth and the second on May seventeenth. At the last dance, which was, by the way, an informal dance, refreshments in the form of sherbert were served. All the escorts of the teachers were out-of-town gentlemen. What is the matter with our Glen Ridge fellows ? Mrs. Brown, the president of the Woman's Club of Glen Ridge, formed, the latter part of the school year, a girls' Department, which meets the first Monday afternoon of every month. The first meeting was held on March third in the Assembly, and after having a few musical selections by members of the school, Mr. Frank Arnold, of Suburban Life, gave a very interesting lecture on "The Making of a Maga- zine." A violin solo was then rendered. After this Marion Roubaud was elected secretary. Tea and sandwiches were served then, and finally the floor was cleared for dancing. The next meeting was held April seventh. Mrs. Fearons presided, and after some musical selections Mrs. C. H. Israels gave a talk on "Recreation—Its Uses and Abuses." She showed us how the girl in less fortunate circumstances is affected by our example, and impressed us with our responsibility in this respect. Illustrations of correct dance positions were given by Andrew Colson and Helen Whitely. Refreshments were then served, and dancing followed. The third meeting was held May fifth. Mr. Masson gave an interesting talk on the Balkan War, and afterwards refreshments were served and a pleasant little dance was enjoyed. This club is composed of all the eighth grade and High School girls who wish to belong. Every girl should join, for much can be learned from these little lectures. On May twenty-second the Annual Physical Training Exhibition was held in the Assembly Hall. Altho the evening was very rainy the hall was filled, even the balcony. Mrs. Brown awarded the prizes for the Essay Contest, and then Mr. Pullman awarded a cup to the Sophomore boys for winning the interclass championship in basketball, and one to the Senior girls. These cups were put up by Mrs. Hinrichs, and will be competed for each year. After that Mr. Pullman gave the school letters to the boys' basketball team, and explained that 110 one else had the privilege to wear such letters until properly awarded. Then the exhibition itself proceeded, and gymnastics were performed by the boys on the apparatus. This showed skill and remarkably good training. Several grades gave pretty little folk dances, and the High School girls ended the program by dancing a minuet.

THE PRIZE STORY

'T* HIS is a story about a bulldog, a woman and a grocer. I heard it from Mrs. Brown, and as Mrs. Brown always tells the truth, of course ii must be true. The woman's name was Mrs. Gordon. She MUl was young and not so wise as she might have been, but then, she really shouldn't be blamed for having let the grocer into her confidence, for the grocer was an old friend of her husband's, and supposedly the soul of honesty. Her husband's name was George. At the time this happened, they were living in a small New England city. It began on Tuesday, when Mrs. Gordon went down to Thompson's dingy little store—Thompson was the grocer—to countermand the order she had given in the morning. Thompson, being very hard up for cash—in fact, on the verge of bankruptcy—did not lock very happy when she did that, and Kate Gordon, being a young thing and loath to make anyone unhappy, hastened to explain. "You see," she said, "George just telegraphed to let me know that he'll be detained on business, and so I thought I'd better wait until he got back before giving that little dinner." "Huh!—yes," said Thompson, still looking decidedly glum. "By the way, did that Boston chap buy your North End house?1 George told me he seemed to be a pretty likely customer." "Yes," said Kate, dropping her voice to a confidential undertone, "and he has paid six thousand for it— and I'll have to have all that money in the house over night! Of course, if George had known that he wouldn't be home tonight, he would have had it sent straight to his bankers. I'm going to take it down to them in New York the first thing tomorrow, but I'm terribly nervous about being along in the house with it." While Kate was speaking, Thompson had been gazing abstractedly at Nero, the bulldog, a monstrous animal with a squat, ugly face, and a growl that sounded like thunder. When she finished, Thompson shifted his position, cleared his throat, and looked up. "It does seem rather risky," he said, "Mrs. Collins—you know her?—why she had a hundred and fifty dollars stolen the other day. And Mrs. Smythe " "Oh, please!" cried Kate, "don't tell me about any more, or I shall die of fright!" Thompson laughed. "How would you like to have Nero over night?" he asked. Kate clapped her hands. "Oh!" she cried. "How perfectly lovely of you! I'd be ever so much obliged to you if I might have him." "I've had that dog twelve years now," said Thompson, "and he's done for three burglars for me in that time. That dog is worth his weight in gold any day. You couldn't be safer with an army." Kate raised her eyebrows, but did not venture to contradict him. "Well," said Thompson, "I'll bring him up at seven tonight." "All right," said Kate, "and now, good-bye." When she had gone Thompson stood leaning on the counter, ruminating, until his wife entered the store. She was a worried-looking little person, whose appearance gave one the impression that she had gown old while still young. "What's the matter now, Mr. T. ?" was this amiable lady's greeting. "Oh, nothing," said Thompson, suddenly busying himself over a shelf of canned goods, "only young Gordon has sold his house for six thousand." "Six thousand! Dear, dear!" sighed Mrs. Thompson, shaking her head mournfully. "That does beat all how some folks get hold of money. Just think, now, Mr. T., that would pay all our debts, and set us on our feet again, real comfortable." "Yes," said Thompson, "but it's his and it ain't ours, and that's a fact, Bessie."

Thompson appeared with the bulldog promptly at seven, and they proceeded to tie it inside by the kitchen window. "You're real safe now," said Thompson. "If anyone tried to get in that window, Nero'd have 'em by the throat before they could put their head in—that is, anyone but me," and the grocer laughed. Kate laughed, too. "I'm not a bit nervous now," she declared. "And see—I don't think anyone could ever find that money. What do you suppose I've done with it? Guess!" Thompson said he wasn't good at guessing. "I put it in the gas oven." Perhaps you have never lain in bed, wide awake, during the cold gray hour just before dawn, when everything looks ghastly and unnatural. It is a bad enough occupation under any circumstances, but add to that the knowledge that, except for a single savage animal, you and your six thousand dollars have been practically defenceless all night, and the result is hardly soul-satisfying. At any rate, Kate Gordon did not find it so. She had also had very bad dreams, which certainly did not increase her peace of mind. However, as George had always made fun of her timidity, she had resolved to be very brave on this particular occasion, in order to give him conclusive evidence that she was no coward. In pursuance of this resolution, she rose, threw on a light dressing-gown, and started on a grand tour of inspection. Although everything seemed to be just as she had left it, a fear, which she told herself was ridiculous, seized her as she neared the kitchen. Somehow, she thought, she would be much braver if it weren't for that dog's growl. She paused at one of the dining-room windows to steady herself. It was much lighter now. Kate felt sure she was very brave—even brave enough to go into the kitchen, where that terrible dog was. She went to the kitchen door—and stood there petrified. She thought she saw something—lying on the floor by that dog. Presently the sunlight shone through the window—the OPEN window—which she had left closed. She looked again at that thing on the floor. Her heart was beating very fast; she could not think—she seemed to hear, over and over and over again, what Thompson had said to her last night— "anyone but me," "anyone but me." Suddenly she shrieked—the sunlight was full on that thing now— that thing with the fixed eyes, and the uncovered teeth, and the torn throat—the thing that had been— Thompson. DOROTHY TEAIA, '13.

HE sun was bright; there was a purple haze over the hills, and the nearer woods were yellow * in the morning sunlight. Billy whistled cheerfully as he trudged along, swinging his books by

SMM a strap in one hand, and rattling his little tin lunch-pail in the other. He had not a care in the world; but then, why should he have? Wasn't there a big piece of gingerbread in his lunch-pail, and hadn't his father promised to take him to the circus over Lancaster way, next week ? Why, ivhat more could a fellow—that is, a fellow like Billy—have wanted? Iii the field by the roadside—the field where the wild strawberries grew—some white butterflies fluttered lazily to and fro in the sunshine, pausing to rest once in a while, on the slender stem of a wild flower or a tall grass blade. Billy watched one carelessly for a moment, then, smiling, he pounced on it, and caught it in his cap. He let it go again, though, 'cause you know when you're at peace with all the world, you just can't be mean to anything in it, no matter how hard you try! The stretch of dusty road and green field was passed, and, still whistling, Billy entered the cool woods filled with deep, dark ravines and fresh, young ferns, and a thousand other things that make a boy feel glad he's alive when he looks at them. He heard the gentle murmur of a brook somewhere in the distance, which grew louder as he walked along, and a bird's clear note reached him at intervals along the way. Shafts of yellow sunlight penetrated through the dark green foliage of the tall trees, and the little brook which ran under the white bridge, glistened and sparkled as it went singing on its way. It sang, "God's in His heaven! All's right with the world !" And indeed it was, so far as Billy was concerned. He left the woods behind, and over the summit of the hill appeared the red roof of the school-house. As he drew nearer, the drowsy hum of study came to him, and he stopped short for a moment—as if he were surprised. There was hardly any need for that, however, for hadn't he walked rather slowly, and then hadn't he stopped to catch that butterfly? Why, he might have known he would be late, and of course he would have to be punished; tardy scholars always WERE. When Billy entered the school-room, he was bieathless — partly from running, but mostly from anticipation of what was coming to him. The hum of study suddenly ceased; the master looked up from his book. i "William!" The voice was stern, and if Billy hadn't been BILLY, he might have quaked uncom- fortably inside; but BEING Billy, he stood his ground with a "never-say-die" expression on his freckled face—and just waited. "You are LATE 1" "YES, sir!" Billy's clear, boyish voice met the accusation squarely, and clinched with it. "Go and sit with the girls!" The blow had fallen. The sentence had been given. The girls tittered nervously; the boys nudged each other, and winked at Billy. As for the latter, with the expression of a man dying for his country, he strode over to the girls' side of the room and dropped indifferently into an empty seat. In the same indifferent manner he unstrapped his books, and began to study arithmetic. The excitement he had caused, naturally began to wane, and in a few moments everybody seemed to have forgotten him entirely. From behind the shelter of his book, Billy stealthily began to take note of his surroundings. There were "girls to left of him, girls to right of him, girls behind him" (with the volley and thunder left out.) There were girls with white aprons, girls with gingham aprons, girls with pig-tails, and girls with curls—but they were all girls, just the same, and Billy detested them. With something very much like a frown on his usually serene brow, he attacked the arithmetic book once more. "Find the value of a lot SS feet long and 491/, feet wide at $700 per acre." Billy made a few miserable attempts on his slate with a squeaky pencil, and then gave it up. Perhaps the next one would be easier. "What number is that, to which, if you add of itself, the sum will be ." Billy paused suddenly. He had an uneasy feeling somewhere—he didn't know •where, and he couldn't define it. It seemed as if—yes, THAT was it! He was being watched! Slowly he turned his head, and encountered the laughing gaze of a pair of dancing black eyes. He caught his breath and just looked. The eyes belonged to a little girl of about his age, with curly hair as black as a crow's wing, and eyes to match. Her cheeks were round and pink, and as Billy stared, the red lips parted, and dazzled him with a smile such as he had never seen before. Billy smiled back. He hated himself for it, but he just couldn't help it. Sud- denly, the girl bent over her slate, and began to write. Billy turned back to his book, but there was no print on the pages; only a pair of laughing, black eyes, and two red, red lips. The scratching of the girl's slate-pencil ceased abruptly; there was a little cough, and Billy looked over at her. She was holding up her slate for him to see. In a queer, wobbly hand was written: "My name is Lucy Ann Thurston and I like you." Billy's reply was very nice, even though it did stray slightly from the subject. He held up his slate, and smiled at Lucy Ann over the top of it. The words on the slate smiled at her, too; they said, "Yore awful pritty." The spelling didn't matter to Lucy Ann; it was the sentiment that counted. Billy was impatient to see what she would write next, and he watched her expectantly. She held up her slate. "I gess I am but do you like me." Billy hesitated quite a while before he answered. He had never before told a girl he liked her. He had never liked one, so it wasn't his fault. An inspiration seized him. He wrote hurriedly: "If you wawk home with me after skool I will like you." Lucy Ann nodded joyously, and her eyes danced more than ever. The second reader class was called just then, and she had to leave her seat by Billy, and go to the front of the room. The master called on her to read first. Billy thought she did it beautifully, and she certainly was original in her expression. When Lucy Ann came out of school that afternoon, she found Billy waiting for her. She gave a little skip over the doorstep and ran toward him. He smiled at her and held out his hand to take her books. "Oh, look-ee! look-ee! Lucy an' Billy's sweet 011 each other!" The post-mistress's son hopped gleefully down the path, while shouting thus, and in a moment a dozen others had taken up the cry. Billy's face was flushed with anger as he turned and faced them, and there is no telling what he might have done had not Lucy Ann's gentle voice pleaded with him to "come away, and not mind what those sillies said." "It isn't as if we cared " she told him, "so come on, Billy! Let's go home the long way through the Hollow—shall we?" Billy looked at her curiously. "Then you ain't afraid of the old witch, Lucy Ann?" he asked. "Oh. no!" Lucy Ann's eyes were full of trust and confidence as she looked up at him. "Not when I'm with YOU, Billy." Billy was suddenly seized with an impulse to run. "Come on, Lucy Ann!" he called back over his shoulder, "I'll beat you to the bridge!" It was a little after four o'clock, but already the shadows had begun to lengthen, and it was dusk in the woods. Billy arrived at the bridge first. "BEAT-che!" he cried gleefully, as Lucy Ann reached him, breathless. Her blue sunbonnet, which had slipped from her head, was hanging half-way down her back, held only by the strings tied loosely under her dimpled chin. Her cheeks were rosy with excitement, and her lips were parted, as she breathed quickly after the race. Billy thought he could have kissed her—if he WOULD, but he knew he ivouldn't. "You had a nazvful big start o' me!" panted Lucy Ann, "or else maybe you wouldn't have beat so easily." "Aw, I know that wasn't fair, but next time we'll start EVEN !" promised Billy. "My, ain't it gettin' dark! Hurry up, Lucy Ann! Mebbe we shouldn't ha' come this way through the Hollow." Twilight Hollow lay in the heart of the woods between Baker's farm and the old Turnpike road. Sunlight rarely entered it; it was always in shadow. Many people believed that it was haunted, and hinted at weird cries and groans which had been heard in the woods at night. They knew for a fact that an old woman lived there in a tiny hut, all by herself. She had been there for several years, and no one had ever paid any attention to her, further than saying she was a witch, and that it might not be safe to meet her alone after dark. Billy was thinking of all these things, as he hurried Lucy Ann along through the woods. He knew he would be helpless if—there was a sudden shrill cry from the girl beside him! As if in a dream, he saw a long arm dart out from the thicket in front of them; he saw it clutch Lucy Ann; it was pulling her away—away Mr. Meredith, on his way from the barn with the milk-pails, about five o'clock, paused on the lowest step of the back porch and looked off in the direction of the woods. Was that his Billy whom he saw—that small overalled object that came stumbling down the road? The boy staggered into the yard and in a moment dropped in a limp, shaking heap at his father's feet. "They've GOT her!" he moaned, "oh, they've got her!" Without a word, Mr. Meredith set his pails down on the ground, and, picking the frightened, white-faced boy up in his arms, carried him into the kitchen where his wife was preparing the evening meal. When Billy had told his story, in fast, jerky words, that tumbled all over each other, his father, only waiting to snatch his hat from the peg behind the door, rushed out of the house. Mrs. Meredith gathered her boy into her arms, and at last succeeded in quieting those cruel, heavy sobs that shook him from head to foot. "Listen, Billy," she said tenderly, "Daddy will do all in his power to get little Lucy back again, but while he is gone I am going to tell you a story. Come over here by the window and sit on my lap." Billy silently obeyed. "David Thurston was a farmer's boy. His mother was a Quaker, and she had brought her boy up to know what was right and what was wrong. One day, however, while he was driving the plough in the field, a band of gypsies passed by out on the road. One of them, a girl in a bright red skirt and a green jacket, came to the fence and began to talk to him. She had flashing dark eyes, and coal-black hair, and her cheeks and lips were very pink. She stayed there by the fence, talking, for a long time after the other gypsies had gone by, and David fell in love with her. She lured him away to the gypsy camp, and there they were married. Then David brought her home to his family. You can well imagine the scene that followed. But they had to keep her, because she was David's wife. After the little girl was born, the gypsy, longing for her old, free life, ran away to the fields and woods she loved. The little girl she left behind was named Lucy Ann, Billy. The Witch of Twilight Hollow is her mother."

i. IV. When the storm of clouds meet above us. So whene'er they chance to see him And the rain drops patter down, On a gloomy, cloudy day, Everything looks dark and dreary; You can hear them shouting loudlv. There's but one bright spot in town— Though they're quite a bit away— Norman's rain coat. " 'Can' that rain coat!"

II. V. If one walks along the Avenue, But Norman doesn't seem to care, On the darkest, darkest day, Nor does he mind it a bit; One is likely to meet Norman But still goes on, and wears the thing Looking cheery, bright, and gay; As if he were proud of it. No wonder—with that rain coat. Norman of that rain coat.

III. VI. But there are some in our borough And thus the years may roll, roll on, Who do not apprec'ate art, And the sun give up his light. And there's one thing about Norman Then we'll pour out thanks to Norman; Which quite cuts them to the heart: He'll keep the whole world bright— It's that rain coat. With that rain coat. T. A. K.

HEN Edna Moorland visited the St. Royal's Polish Mission—out of courtesy for her great-aunt, Mrs. Van Smythe—she had no idea of the agony and heart-break that she would cause. If she

had foreseen it, it is needless to sav she would not havp armP j — — — —. „ *********** Ivan Kurvitch the First built himself a hut in the village of Moshla, and there raised himself a family. This was in the days when New York was New Amsterdam, and the Bowery was literally the "flower-walk." Ivan Kurvitch the First bequeathed to his son, Ivan Kurvitch the Second, his hut, which had the dimensions of a large packing box; and the son—dutifully following in the steps of the father—in turn brought up an Ivan Kurvitch the Third. Thus Ivan followed Ivan, and the hut became more and more like an Irish sty, and the Ivan was smaller of stature and less active of mind. Now Ivan the Fifth was a weakling, and was greatly troubled by the itching of his skin, which became white and scaled off. But before he died he begat a son—who, doubtless because of the charms made for him at his birth, was strong and sturdy. He, too, had a sturdy son. But lo!—when Ivan the Eighth appeared, he was just such a one as his forebear, Ivan the Fifth—sickly, and with flesh that rotted on him, but able, nevertheless, to carry on the family. Now in the time of Ivan the Tenth there came a rumor—sifting and sliding through the desolate country—of a new land. A land long hoped and prayed for. A land where man was equal. A land of Soul's Desire. Then did Ivan Kurvitch—being young, of a rude strength, though small in frame, and having not yet taken to wife, dreamed a dream. And seeing a figure. Liberty—whereof he knew not the true mean- ing—standing in this new land and beckoning to him—he sold the sty and with that money and a little more which he stole, he set out for the goal of his dream. So, in the fullness of time, did Ivan come into the Promised Land. But it was not according to his vision. It was a strange land, full of men with cold, harsh words, and heavy, ready hands, from whom there was but one refuge, and it was there—at the Mission—that Edna Moorland, stooping over a crying baby amid a group of men and women, felt his fetid breath. A chill passed over her, and, drawing her furs closer, she moved toward the waiting automobile.

Roger Seldon, having learned at the Van Smythe home whither Edna had gone, and not liking the thought of her being in such a place, took his newest car, and ran down to the Mission, intending to take Edna for a ride—to get the atmosphere of the place from her lungs. But he arrived too late, and, finding his fiance gone, turned back himself rather vexed. He was not so out of humor, however, that his love of justice deserted him, so when he saw the Poles fighting on a side street, as a matter of course he jumped to the assistance of the smaller—who was being beaten to death—and helped to drive off his assailant. Then, feeling a little more cheerful in spirit, he went home.

A year passed, and in a few weeks the merry bells were to usher into life-long happiness Mr. Roger Seldon and Miss Edna Moorland—niece of Mrs. Van Smythe. But, strange to say, at this time Seldon was not happy. His mind was not at ease. He was troubled by dire forebodings and thoughts which he could not analyze. His body, also, was not well. He seemed to have lost the youthful vigor which was his by rights. Indeed, such was his condition that at last he visited his physician, and underwent a thorough examination. But what happened in the physician's office? Where there had gone in a bright-looking, apparently healthy, young man, there came out—leaning on the arm of the doctor—an old man, decrepit and bent, babbling of a street fight—who went immediately to the steamship dock, where he took passage for an island in the far Pacific. Roger Seldon was a leper. Fearing—through the supreme vanity of man, or the supreme faith of man in woman—that Edna would insist on becoming his wife as she had promised, he thought this the easiest way to break all connections. Fate willed it that the doctor should be killed in an automobile accident that afternoon. When Edna Moorland heard of Seldon's disappearance, she immediately fainted, and the doctor being called, made a sad and startling discovery. A few days later Mrs. Van Smythe bought a large estate up in Connecticut, and Edna was taken there in an automobile. In some way the news leaked ont, and the place is now called "The Leper's Farm," although there is no one there but Edna, the servants, and, of course, a doctor and nurse. ***** Thus Edna lives in Connecticut and believes Roger dead; and Roger lives on an island in the Pacific and, perhaps believes Edna married. And Ivan Kurvitch has stolen money, gone back to the sty in Moshla and there is now an Ivan the Eleventh—a leper.

PERCIVAL BIRDSEYE, '13. Stye Watrtjman

" T was the Day Before, and the Bigbys were eating dinner. The room was desolate. The furniture Q, not in actual use was shrouded. The floors bare and the walls were void of ornamentation. The »WE1 dishes and silver were from the kitchen. Mr. Bigby spoke. "Maria, we forget to get a watchman. I have so much to do, could you ' "John!" "Then Helen will have " "Papa!" Why, I am so busy with the dressmaker I couldn't." The subject was dropped and the next day the Bigbys were whirled away to the country, to forget their cares. *********** It was a sultry August morning, about 2 A. M. Tim O'Connel swung down the street, and viewed the Bigby's mansion. Suddenly he saw something that made him start. A man bent over the lock of the door, unconscious of Tim's nearness, slipped a key into the keyhole. , It was only a few seconds before Tim had the key from his hand. "Vat for is dis? Holdt on! Holdt on! I de vatchman am! Vih I de house vatch no purgulars to rop it get! Ploldt on, I say!" "Watcher givin' us? Oi'm the watchman here. Oi: was hoired boi the owld gintlemin hisself. You got bats in your belfry?" "I by the missis was hired. Ach mein Gott, I speak the truth!" "Well, Dutchy, Oi'm inclined to—Wat the hell!" "Hi sye, now. Hi sye!" cried a rough voice behind them, and a husky groom ascended the steps. "Get out o' 'ere, or Hi'll blow yer bloomin' brains hout!" For a moment Tim was dumfounded. He and Dutchy stood open-mouthed. Finally he regained his cerebral appreciation, and answered the Englishman. "T'ell wid yez, ye John Bull; I say, t'ell wid yez. We're the watchmen o' this istablishmint. Git out yerself, er Oi'll call a perliceman. There's a cop right around the corner. Savee?" It was the Englishman's turn to be surprised, and indeed he was. "This 'ere's a nawsty mess," he exclaimed. "Hi'm the watchman, 'ired by her young ladyship herself, I was." The conversation continued for several minutes, each man asserting that he was the real watchman. Suddenly: "Gott in Himmel," and "Wat t'ell!" simultaneously. Before them stood a slim, genteel figure, clothed in the latest fashion and carrying a grip. "Good morning, gentlemen. I don't know who you are, but " Oi'll tell yez, thin," cried Tim. "Oi'm Tim O'Connel, watchman of the house, hoired boi John W. Bigby. This is John Bull, watchman, hoired by Miss Bigby. That is Dutchy, watchman, hoired by Mrs. Bigby. Who are you?" "I am H. Ellis Bigby. When Mr. Bigby heard that I was coming to town he sent his son down to my country place with the key and asked that I look through the house tonight. Unfortunately, I lost the key. Would one of you gentlemen kindly lend me his ?" Too dumfounded at the morning's happenings to doubt his veracity, the three preferred him their key. Smiling blandly, he took them. "We'll wait fer yez." remarked Tim. "I may be quite a while," said H. Ellis, doubtfully, as he disappeared. The three sat clown on the steps to wait. Once they heard a window squeak, followed bva dull thud; but they were deep in thought. As they watched the glow of dawn in the sky Tim spoke. "Let's go look for H. Ellis," he suggested. "Lend me your key. He took moine, Dutchy." "Mine, too," said Dutchy. "Mine, too," said John Bull. Sad-eyed, they viewed the rising sun. Again it was Tim who spoke. He thought of H. Ellis, of the satchel, of the squeaking window, and the dull thud. "Begorra!" he said wearily, "begorra, wave been fooled. John Bigby has no son." And the sun burst forth in glory on three forlorn watchmen, while II. Ellis, far away, smiled to himself at his night's work. MIRIAM ROCKWELL.

You stand on the threshold, schoolmates, When you were but Freshmen, schoolmates, Of a life that is strange and new, You quarreled to have your way; And the four long years of your journey But you realize now at the parting, Are buried in dust—and through. That the anger was all in play. And the books that you hated, schoolmates, And you feel that the kind words, schoolmates, Are laid on the shelf away; That came when the day was past, And with beating heart, for you hate to part, Are the only things that a memory brings You are facing Commencement Day. To the book of the thoughts that last.

You say good-bye to each other, With smiles that are almost tears; And you turn from the old scene, schoolmates, With a mixture of hopes and fears. God grant in the years before you That the tasks be o'erthrown and won, And that heads may raise to a world-wide praise, In the glow of the dying sun. MARGARET E.
