-14- THE SENIORS

Some three or four years since, wc came Upon this threshold fair, And proved that "ignorance is bliss" By our confident, care-free air. We rollicked through the spacious halls, Tore wildly up the stair; We were the butt of Sophomores' jokes, But little did we care. As soon as we were Sophomores Our manner changed, you know; And now we were so self-possessed— Our walk, sedate and slow. 'Twas at this time that far renown Unto us all did go, A flag, Old Glory, big and true, Still stands our love to show. Our Junior year, it came and went, As years are wont to do. We bent alike to work and play, To honor the gold and blue. The spirit that the class did show Was the famed East spirit true, A work of art in the hallway hangs, A token of this, too. Our Senior year brought forth a plan That we took up with zeal, And through our efforts all the school Put shoulder to the wheel. To place upon the platform that Which in our pride we feel The very finest Steinway Grand, That e'er a note did peal. But now as in our Senior year We scan our past career, There seems but little we have done, Our deeds so small appear. Yet when we pass from out these doors May our Class '14 so dear, With "Noblesse Oblige" as motto still Make record just as clear. NELLA MASTEN, '14.

EAST HIGH SCHOOL

Oh, East High School, to her my thoughts will turn, When I no more may see her building tall, When I no more may walk her well-loved hall, Then Spirit, bid the fires of mem'ry burn! Then give once more her precepts kind while stern, Lest sometime, they should slip beyond recall, And I remember just her outward wall. Oh! Spirit, give and I will gladly learn! Oh, East! the thought of thy dear love so true, Will give me courage for whate'er I do. The strength, invincible, thou hast displayed Will give me strength, when pleasures slip away. But well I know my loyalty must be Expressed in giving all thou gavest me. DOROTHY STANLEY, '15.

TO THE JUNIOR CLASS

Some of us are big, some of us are small Some of us are good, but I'll admit not all' Some of us have a merry time, some of us do not; Some of us wear a happy smile, while some complain a lot. Some of us have no time to spare, others time to burn- Some of us to East High come because we wish to learnt Some of us are cheerful, some of us are sour; Some of us are able to study by the hour.

Some of us like study, some of us like play, Some of us have troubles that will last beyond today 1 Some of us sigh aloud when lessons are assigned' Some of us wish often that we did not have to grind. Some of us attempt to tax our human brain, Some of us find out that it causes us deep pain' All of us are "Juniors," who are ever sharp and keen So lets drmk one glass to that merry Class, the Class of fair '15!

-65- SOPHOMORE HISTORY

Full many moons it seems to us Have passed since we were "flats." When ent'ring we made quite a stir,— For we were sharks, as little "flats." When we became the D—IPs keen, We found it did not pay To tease the little "flatlets" green;— We were as green as they. And now, as learned Sophomores, We delve in Caesar's wars so great. We walk sedately down the halls. And worry not when we are laic. And from the Sophomore's lofty stand We wish success to the Freshman class. But, always know this saying goes: — "The class of '16, none may pass." RUTH LOMNITZ, '16. CII CLASS

TO THE CLASS OF '17 In years to come mayhap, should I these pages spy, Fond memories will awaken of the years spent at East High; The Algebra, the English and the "Dutch" I had to do, To give to me some knowledge and uphold the Gold and Blue. ANNETTE DOLLER, '17.

THE CLASS OF '18

On Monday, yes, 'twas Monday morn, When toward East High we sped. Our rooms to us assigned were, As were our lessons dread. Our blunders? Well, we're human; We made some,—just a few,— But as for showing ignorance, That's what we didn't do. What tho' the Sophomores call us "Flats"? What tho' we're young and green? This Freshman class at East High is The best that's e'er been seen. In future years, if Freshmen shy, Look back, our records see, Will copy us, our manners, too, For a model we will be.

FOOTBALL HE interscholastic football season in Cleveland has as many as­ pects as there are reviews in the several year books of the various T schools. It shall be the purpose of this sketch merely to present a bird's-eye view of the events. Prospects were rather uncertain at the beginning of the season, but confidence was established when about fifty-five candidates reported to Mr. Boles, our new far-famed coach. Though working under tremen­ dous physical disability, yet with the help of Mr. Hogan and Mr. Orr, he managed to bring a well-developed squad together. Under Edward Hanley, whose exceptional influence as a leader was most valuable, a team was quickly rounded into shape. After two weeks the fellows were in fair shape to open the "Senate" season, and the football spirit of old East was running high when Ed Hanley scored our first touchdown of the year in the Lincoln game. There was great consternation when in the third scrimmage Hanley's nose was broken, but despite this catastrophe East finished the game with the record of a point a minute, rolling up a score of 38 to 0. A week later, with Hanley and Gross out of the game, because of injuries, Glenville inarched to her Waterloo to the tune of 13 to 0. The East defense was well-nigh impregnable, and the thirteen points gar­ nered by our team were ail that could be expected, in view of the crip­ pled condition of our back field. The next week a pouring rain dampened our clothes but not our en­ thusiasm and a good crowd again ornamented Luna Park gridiron. In the mud of that field East Tech's "speedy back field" was lost so completely that our splendid line had not the opportunity to show what it really could do. Early in the game, as the result of a misjudged punt and a poor pass by Center Hart, the enemy found themselves in possession of the ball close to the East goal, and favored by a strong wind, scored three points via the air line. In the next quarter Mahon and Hanley took vengeance and Craig slid over the line for the only touchdown of the game, East taking the honors by a score of 6 to 3. The West Tech game was anticipated with some anxiety, as that school boasted of an unbroken string of victories. Great was the en­ thusiasm, and carloads of West Teeners migrated to Shaw field to see us win the game. The second period was characterized by the brilliant playing of Henry and Sinderman on the line, and of Hanley, Mahon and George in the back field. This trio ripped off yard after yard until we stood upon West Tech's five-yard line and every-ready Ollie George scored the precious six points. Despite the old lines— "Oh, the East is the East, And the West is the West, And never the twain shall meet— Fisher of the West Siders was many times downed in his rushes by the stone-wall defense which Mr. Boles bad created, and the game ended 7 to 0. with East the only undefeated Senate team. East entered the Lakewood game minus the services of live regulars and the scoreless tie that resulted detracted not at all from the"prev­ iously won laurels of the team. —83— FOOTBALL

A record attendance turned out to witness the Central game. From an East point of view this was undoubtedly the best played game of the season. From the twenty-eight yard line Hanley plunged through the whole Central team for the first touchdown; Hart recovered a fum­ ble and ran thirty-five yards for the second score; while a forward pass —Hanley to Mahon—for a third touchdown completed the scoring for East. Amid the confusion of approaching darkness and numerous sub­ stitutions in the East line up, Central uncovered a series of well exe­ cuted forward passes, resulting in the only score for our opponents. This victory, which was won by a score of 19 to 6, gave East the undis­ puted championship of the "Senate" for the third successive year. In the games with Shaw and University School, East suffered de­ feat, the scores being 12 to 9, and 14 to 7, respectively. Both games were exceedingly interesting, and in each case the winner was in doubt until the final whistle blew. Thus ended our first season under Coach L. C. Boles, who in those few months endeared himself to all East High students, and laid the foundation for a team which promises much for the future. The 1914 machine will be captained by Oliver George, and man­ aged by Arthur, Knight, who will succeed the capable LeBoy Stewart of this year. On the "All-Scholastic" football team it was most gratifying to learn that East had the largest representation. Charles Henry was chosen as "all-scholastic" tackle for the second time; Craig and Sinder- man also earned positions on the line for this consistently good playing, while Hanley was the unanimous choice for fullback. With a large number of "regulars" in school next year, and with the help of Mr. Boles' splendid coaching, a very successful season is antici­ pated.

SCENE IN THE WEST TECH GAME FOOTBALL

TECHNICAL (With sympathy to Longfellow)

The shades of night were falling fast, When on the football field there passed A crowd, whose leader bore ahead A banner, upon which we read, Technical!

Their brows were glad, their eyes beneath Flashed like a falchion from its sheath, And from the grand-stand, could be heard Loud cheering of that unknown word, Technical!

"Hope not to win!" the Eastites said; "Defeat dark lowers overhead, Beware, lest in an ambulance you ride." But loud their clarion tones replied: Technical!

Soon in the twilight cold and gray, Cheerless, but dauntless still they stay; And from the sky, serene and far, A moan fell, like a falling star, We told you so! GOETTEL.

EDWARD HANLEY In Edward Hanley, East possessed a captain who was easily the best of Cleveland's 1913 crop of football leaders. In each game in which he participated Hanley proved himself a leader in the truest sense of the word. While Sprackling, Roby and others will linger long in the memories of East High partisans as captains of great renown, yet as one imbued with the true East spirit, exemplified in the motto, "In Vic­ tor}' or Defeat, East High," Hanley as captain stands second to none. In the West Tech game his punting and dashes through the line brought the spectators to their feet time and time again; while on an­ other occasion his line plunging and splendid defensive playing at tackle were largely responsible for the score—East 19, Central 6. Taken all in all, Hanley's ability as a football leader and as a player left nothing to be desired. STANLEY D. KOCH, '14.

—91— MR. EISENHAUER Few people realize the great responsibility of the position of faculty manager of athletics in a large school. His duties, ranging from a pen­ nant dealer's services to those of eaptain-of-police at a big football game, are many and burdensome—frequently a thankless task. Because of East's prominence in athletics this fact is true of the duties of faculty-manager at East High School in a very marked degree. How well those duties have been performed by Mr. Eisenhaur is known to all. During the four years he has held the position, he has been indefatigable in his efforts, working with but one purpose in view—the glorification of his school.

The rudder was finally replaced and the vessel went on its T course, plowing through the waves that had threatened its destruc­ tion. In a similar manner our basketball team, hampered by the loss of Mr. Boles' coaching during his illness at the beginning of the season, fought hard at all times and in spite of much buffeting, completed the voyage successfully. We admire the fighting spirit the fellows showed and congratu­ late Coach Boles and Captain Henry and his mates. P. J.

-96- FTER hockey was dropped in 1913, it was a pleasant surprise to see the return of this popular winter sport in 1914. The Inter- A scholastic Hockey League, comprising Shaw, East, U. S. and Cen­ tral, was again organized and a schedule of games was made out. East was once more fortunate in securing the services of James L. Lind, who had coached the team very successfully in 1912. At the first call for candidates more than half a hundred reported and, although there was some rather raw material, the spirit of these candidates ran high, and that is the most important essential. After practicing little more than a month, East met Shaw in the first contest of the year, and was fortunate to get away with an 8 to 0 defeat before Shaw's well organized team—a team made up of players of several years' experience. At the end of the season our record showed four ties and five de­ feats, a record not bad, considering the handicaps of ineligibility, in­ experience, and infrequent practices. There was great satisfaction in the fact that although we did not beat Central, we did not lose to them, as our three games with that school resulted in tie scores. Our team was well captained by Wayne Hunt, who played an ex­ cellent game at rover during the entire season. The defense, composed of Cook, who was picked for one all-scholastic team, Kennedy, the mainstay of the team, and Gross, also showed up -well. With only three first team men graduating this year, with an abundance of second team men. and with the fervent hope that Mr. Lind will again consent to coach the team, the school may certainly look forward to a more successful season next year.

SWIMMING WIMMING has always been acknowledged to be one of the most beneficial of sports, but until recently, proper facilities have been S lacking to make competition possible. The East End and Central Y. M. C. A. buildings have lately been equipped with large natatoriums, but even these are not large enough to accommodate the crowds which come to witness the interscholastic contests in swimming. This winter a meet of all the East End High Schools was held at the East End "Y," in which East and East Tech tied for first place. The intense excite­ ment shown throughout the contest was brought to a climax in the last event—the relay race. This was won by the East team, composed of the captain, Harold Hamilton, and Harold Pratt, Philip Goettel, and Eastland Kelley. The second meet of the season took place at the Central Y. M. C. A., Lakewood, Cleveland, and East Cleveland schools being represented. Again our relay team was victorious, but in total points we were bested by the winner, East Tech, and by University School. The third and last meet of the season will be held at University School in the latter part of April. The school letter will be awarded to those who score five or more points in this branch of athletics.

WING to the good quality of professional baseball exhibited in Cleveland, and the development of the various amateur leagues, O interest in baseball as a scholastic sport is rapidly waning. East will not be represented by a baseball team this Spring, and all efforts will be devoted to the development of a track team. Practice last year was conducted on the Gordon Park grounds. As more than half of the good players of the school were ineligible, it is not surprising that the team as a whole possessed but mediocre ability. However, Mr. Hogan unearthed one player, Erhardt Malz, who gave the team half its strength. In Malz there was that rare combination of strong pitching and good batting ability. Norman Weil proved a good captain and Ernest Hansen a capable manager. No games were played with Senate teams, the schedule containing but five games. Lakewood and Loyola were defeated by East, and, playing without the services of pitcher Malz, an interesting ten-inning game was lost to Medina on the day of the Quadrangular track meet. East was also defeated by Shaw and University School, the Shaw game being remarkable for the small number of hits made. East was held hitless, while Shaw landed safely but once, the only score being the re­ sult of an error.

The first exhibition of their work was the Inter-class Track Meet, in which Malz received the title of "School Athlete" by winning sixteen points. The other winners were as follows: High Jump—Wise, '13; Engelfried, '16. Pole Vault—Gross, '13; Byan, '14; Lynch, '15. Shot Put— Gramm, '15; Malz, '13; Barnes, '14.

The Juniors, Class of 1914, won the meet with 45 points, the Seniors being second with 36. The teams entered by East in the Quadrangular, Princeton, Inter- scholastic and Municipal meets made creditable showings. In the one last named, East was represented by a relay team composed of four boys under eighteen years of age, who won their event; they were WiK liam Gross, Benjamin Hubbell, William Lynch, and Lester Howells. Leslie Carr was manager of the team, and Harold Hamilton, his as­ sistant, was appointed manager for this year. For 1914, prospects are fairly bright, seventy-five candidates being out for the team. The coaching has been placed in the hands of Mr. Boles, who has arranged for the boys to practice three times each week at the East End Y. M. C. A., where they will enjoy the privileges of membership. The letter men in school are Krauss, Gramm, Goulder, Hubbell and Lynch.

S TENNIS has been recognized as a school sport by the Athletic Board, the call for candidates brought out a large number of A both freshmen and upper classmen. A standing student com­ mittee on tennis, consisting of George Ingersoll, chairman; Clarence Weidenthal, secretary; Bobert Burdett, and Albert Buss, was appointed. An elimination contest, begun last fall, sifted the number of as­ pirants down to four boys—Ingersoll, Banney, Friedman, and Atwater. These players will contend for the championship this Spring. The winner will play the freshman champion, Eben Ayers, for the school title. In a series of successive challenges, known as a "perpetual tourna­ ment," which is to be held this Spring, the five players who defeat all comers will compose the Tennis team. Contests with Lakewood and University schools are present proba­ bilities, while other scholastic tennis teams of the city may be placed upon the schedule.

—107- MB. LOTHMAN'S BANQUET.

I T WAS on the night before Thanksgiving that Mr. Lothman honored I the 1913 football team and the gentlemen teachers of the school with a royal feast at the University Club. At this repast were several distinguished visitors, among whom were Mayor Baker, Mr. Albert E. Gowan, Mr. Fred Lothman, brother of the host, and Stanley Cofall. The meal progressed with much merriment so that everyone felt his dinner to be fully digested when the speeches began. Mayor Baker gave an interesting talk on the standards of morality of the different ages and on the menace of the press when prejudiced or corrupted. Coach Boles brought to mind the fact that East and Central must play their hardest from the beginning of the football season while U. S. and Shaw content themselves by playing little and easy teams around the State. This gives them a chance to save their best plays for the other Quadrangular teams. Mr. Hogan stated in his speech that the football team had a record to be proud of. Mr. Gowan told wherein East High was able to do something for him that several "prep schools"—including a neighboring one—were unable to do, namely, to prepare him for Harvard. He also related an incident concerning Mr. Lothman. It seems that Mr. Gowan owned a small automobile while in connection with East High. He took Mr. Lothman and his dog, Buster, for a joy-ride in this same machine. As they were rounding a street corner Mr. Lothman forgot that there is such a thing as inertia and consequently he and the dog gave a pretty exhibition of fancy diving from the machine. According to Mr. Gowan, the whole show was laughable. The teachers amused the assembly from their inexhaustible sup­ ply of anecdotes and humorous stories. Ed Hanley wished the best of success to next year's team under "Ollie" George. The latter replied that he only hopes the fellows will work together as hard next year as they did during the past season. The players from Gram down to Craig told their funniest stories. Many were successful in "copping" red carnations that decorated the table. 41rese will be kept as souvenirs of that memorable banquet. LEROY C. STEWART, '14.

THE JUNIOR SOCIETIES

URING the past year the Laureans and Demostheneans have been strongly linked together by social ties. The Demostheneans D started activities by asking the Laureans to a dance in the Gym­ nasium December 12, 1913. Needless to sav the invitation was accepted without hesitation, but a heartbreaking feature of the dance was that the "hesitation" was missing from the program, as the Faculty had placed the ban on the new dances. The affair went through without a hitch and everybody was well pleased with its success. Mr. Petersilge gave us some rousing East High music for one dance, while the football boys inarched lockstep around the gymnasium, led by "Darby" Gram. The Laureans came back strong in the second round by inviting the Denis to a spread and dance January 16, 1914. After all had gorged themselves with the delicious repast prepared by the girls, the time arrived for speeches. The orators for the day were Margaret Barker, Henry Marcuson, Miss Lynch, Mr. Lothman, Mr. Eisenhauer and Mr. Petersilge, who roused our spirits with all the big words, jokes and wit, that they could command for the occasion. It was decided by both societies that it would be a fine thing if the two could hold joint meetings, on the first Wednesday of each month, for the remainder of the year. After our scramble to the gymnasium we found our old friend, Mrs. Walker, waiting impatiently for our arrival, as we had remained with our bounteous spread longer than had been anticipated. During the entire dance only one accident occured, which, we will add, was not serious. Helen McClure sat down on a certain board in the grand­ stand which contained a large knot and, strange as it may seem, the board very unceremoniously let her through to the floor. Wednesday, March 4th, the first joint meeting of the Laureans and Demostheneans was held in the Athenaeum room. The boys furnished the program, which opened with a piano solo by Bobert Goulder— pardon me—Burdett. Baldwin Ford and Henry Marcuson each recited a short poem, after which six of the boys gave a parliamentary drill. Mr. Petersilge was called on for some music, and he gave us six or seven popular selections. The girls wished to dance, but on account of the smallness of the room were not permitted to do so. ITre Demostheneans held another dance for the Laureans on the 27th of March. On this occasion the brilliant color of the programs was one of the features. The committee evidently borrowed the hue from some of Mr. Reed's illustrative material. Another feature was that we were allowed to dance both the new and the old dances, the Faculty having changed their point of view after the Senior. The joint meeting of the Laureans and Demostheneans was held April 8th. The program was a joint one, being a debate on the sub­ ject, "Resolved, That the United Stales should have free passage through the Panama Canal." The Laurean team, composed of Gertrude Beach, leader. Hazel Brown, Mary Gittin and Gladys White, alternate, won a two to one decision over the Demostheneans, who were represented by Henry Marcuson, leader, Louis Bing and Irving Hexter. The work of the leaders was excellent, and the whole debate was worked up in fine style by both sides. The Demostheneans are now expecting a dance to be given them in the near future, and earnestly hope that these meetings, which have been a source of great pleasure to the members of both societies, will he continued during the senior year, which, as we all hope, will be the best ever.

—118— EAST-SOUTH TEAM

THE SOUTH DEBATE N FBIDAY evening, January 16th, in our auditorium, East's first debate of the nineteen-fourteen season was held. The East O team was composed of Milton Grossman, leader, DcForest Mel­ lon, Boy Sandrowitz, and Wallace Young, alternate. Mr. Charles M. Knight was coach of the team. The question for debate was, "Resolved, that a progressive inheritance tax should be levied by the federal gov­ ernment, constitutionality conceded." This question of taxes on in­ heritances is one of the most interesting and important issues of the day, and it produced a very keen debate. The team representing South High was returned the victor, by a two to one decision of the judges.

EAST-GLENVILLE TEAM

EAST GLENVILLE DEBATE

HE second East High debate of the year under the auspices of the Interscholastic Literary League, was with Glenville High School, T the holders of the debating' cup. The question was, "Resolved, that California's law which prevents Japanese from holding land in that State, is unjustifiable." The affirmative was defended by Glenville, while East High upheld the negative. Mr. Rankin, our new teacher of English, coached the team. The East High School was represented by Clarence M. Weidenthal, leader, Slyvester G. Miller, Arthur J. Rein thai and Irving Hexter, alternate. They were opposed by Leo Corning, leader, Aubrey Johnson, Eric Arnold, and Gordon Allport, alternate. The affirmative was awarded the decision. C. M. W.

OUR TEACHERS

HEN a Freshman enters High School, he generally brings with him the Grammar school idea of a teacher, which is that an W instructor is an unnatural abnormal person who has always been teaching school and has never known any of the temptations or experiences of youth. He often holds this conception until the Junior year when perchance he may attend a school dance and see the teachers there as chaperons. As his third year rolls on he may experience other examples of the human side of the teacher's character,—perhaps in a class meeting or in a literary society. And by the time his Senior year starts his vision is changed and he views the teacher in a better light. But why this mistaken idea, why this erroneous conception? Our teachers are human. They get pleasure from the same things that fur­ nish amusement for the students. They understand the student's point of view and sympathize with it, but it is a teacher's duty to keep a stern countenance, to be strict and at times exacting. The school must have discipline, it must have a high standard of scholarship, or for what purpose is it built? At times the teachers may make mistakes, per­ chance they may do a student an injustice, but that is only natural, we all have our faults and weaknesses. So why not view the teacher in the right light? Our teachers are generous. What emoluments do they receive for the outside work they do? Is the faculty manager of athletics or de­ bates or the Annual paid anything extra for his services? Yet there is a large amount of tedious and difficult work about these positions. Does the coaching of commencement speakers and the advising of lit­ erary societies bring the teachers in anything but a loss of time and perhaps of patience? Has the teacher who has painted numerous signs and placards for the school ever refused a request for her serv­ ices? In fact, the whole faculty are extremely liberal and are willing to do anything that is reasonable and helpful to the students.

EAST HIGH SPIRIT IN THE CLASS-ROOM

ERE it not for the evidences of good will which arc often noted in the class room school life would indeed be dull. During W the past term an opportunity occurred in the chemical labora­ tory for the exercise of generosity by the Senior boys working there. * The A-l classes in Chemistry met in the afternoon and as this was rather unpleasant Miss Bennett brought the matter to the attention of the morning classes, each of which agreed to stay after school one day each week so that the A-l unfortunates might be free after one o'clock. The new schedule distributed the extra work so that no one was over­ burdened. Such an attitude on the part of the pupils together with Miss Bennett's jolly tutelage make the study of Chemistry one of the most enjoyable in our curriculum.

130— Thinking of leaving school? Forget it. You have heard "Educa­ tion is a priceless treasure," and have considered this phrase a flight of eloquence not substantiated by facts. Look around, take note of the successful men and women in your acquaintance and you will find that their success is due to trained knowledge. Ask these people about quitting school to take up a small job, and their advice will be to stay in school. The training which you can secure here will mean the power to do things, to win out in life's race. As a matter of dollars and cents in increased earning capacity, every day in high school represents ten dollars, based upon calculations published in the April "American" in the article, "An Adventure in Education." While it is true that these figures are for the person having a technical high school training, yet there is overwhelming evidence that an academic training has the same value, if not more. You cannot afford to go into the struggle for exist­ ence at this stage, with only half an education. Seize your oppor­ tunity !

30E

L'ENVOI TRACK When the race has been won by the swiftest, And the crowds applaud with a shout, When the slowest of runners has finished, And the medals are given out, We'll break training, and, faith, we'll be glad to Eat pie for an aeon or two, Till the Trainer of afl good runners, Shall set us to train anew. And those that were swift shall be happy, They shall sit in a platform chair. They shall hear their prowess lauded, While the awestruck Freshmen stare. They shall wear blue E's on their sweaters, Have their pictures hung in the hall, They shall run for days without pausing, And never be winded at all. And only the Head Coach shall praise them, And only the Head Coach shall blame, And no one shall run for medals, And no one shall run for fame, But each for the joy of the running, And each in his own sweet way Shall run the race as he pleases And finish, a winner, that day. D. F. MKI.LON, '14. —131— Our Visitors.

URING the past year the school has been visited by several noted speakers, whose talks proved to be intensely interesting. In D this group were Russell H. Conwell, Robert Parker Miles, Wil­ liam Lyon Phelps, Dan Crawford, David Porter, and Bernard Noel Langdon-Davies. Impressions of Dr. Conweli's talk on "Acres of Diamonds" and of Dr. Miles' "Tallow Dips" are given in "The Lecture Course." Dr. Miles also addressed the whole school at the regular period for rhetoricals, reviewing some of his experiences in newspaper work in a very entertaining manner. Probably none in that audience will forget the description of "Opportunity" as conceived by some unknown sculp­ tor in ancient Rome, merely a head with locks of hair hanging over the face but bald at the back. Dr. Phelps, who is a professor of English Literature at Yale Uni­ versity, took as his subject, "Happiness." He stated that too many people depended upon external circumstances for their enjoyment rather than upon their thoughts, and developed this theme in a con­ vincing although humorous fashion. Pie pointed out that happiness and idleness are not synonymous, except in the case of the American cow, and showed in many other illustrations that he practiced what he advocated, that he was happy because his mind was occupied with in­ teresting thoughts. The talk must have lasted about thirty minutes, but it seemed much less than ten. Dr. Dan Crawford, translator of the Bible into the dialects of Africa, gave an account of the life there which was much too short. His speech was vibrant with the determination and fight for principle which carried him through countless difficulties in the dark interior. Dave Porter, a big-boned, brainy fellow, won our attention in the first few minutes of his talk, not because of his reputation as a football player and winner of the Oxford scholarship, but because he seemed to have a message, although he disclaimed the preparation of an ad­ dress. We were not disappointed, for he spoke of "The Training of the Will," and spoke of it well. He considered it the most important part of an education. In closing he told about the gun which carried a ball nine miles, because Hie gunner's "aim was straight, and he kept it clean," and said this was a good motto to follow.

THE PEACE MOVEMENT HERBERT PRENTKE, '14 ROFESSOR BERNARD LANGDON-DAVIES, of Cambridge Uni­ versity, England, gave his one hundredth lecture in the United P States on "Universal Peace," before students of East High School, on December 10, 1913. His tour was conducted under the auspices of the Carnegie Peace Endowment. He spoke of the new pacifism offered as a solution of the problem of war and armament. A magnetic speaker, Langdon-Davies aroused interest and gripped attention. "Society has to soke a good many problems," he said. "The edu­ cated people must do the solving. The most serious is the double prob­ lem of war and armament, because upon its solution depend the solu­ tions of so many other problems. "There have been two solutions offered for this double problem. One is the militarist—if you want peace, prepare for war. It has not succeeded and cannot succeed. "On the other hand is the old-fashioned pacifist solution—disarm­ ament. That doesn't affect policy. An act of attack is an assertion of

432— right to rule by force, while an act of defense is a denial of that right. I believe in defense as long as anyone is going to attack. "Now we come to our movement, which grew out of the book, The Great Illusion, by Normal Angell. "The new pacifists say international policy today is almost in­ variably based on illusions. "All the nations of the world are arming, and assert they are arm­ ing in self-defense. Defense is unnecessary unless someone is going to attack. No one will attack without a motive. The only possible motive for attack is the desire to reap the fruits of conquest. "If it can be demonstrated that between civilized nations today, there can be no fruits of conquest, then the motive for attack, the need for defense, the burden of armaments, the danger of war, will vanish. "This simple fact, that there are no fruits of conquest, Norman Angell has proved beyond dispute in his book. This is the new pacifism, with which intellectual Europe is ringing. "The only way reforms can come todayr is by educating public opinion. That is what we want to do. "The militarists say we must have war to preserve our national honor," he said, "but we can preserve our personal or national honor as they call it, by knocking something into someone's head, instead of knocking his brains out."

LANGDON-DAVIES

133- The Lecture Course. OR many years, East High School has needed, among other things, a new piano for its Auditorium platform. The old piano, never F of very high quality, had become gradually worse, until its familiar discords became a source of both sorrow and amusement to all listeners. Not only was the school debarred from hearing good music at rhetoricals, but it was obliged to go to the trouble of borrowing a piano for every special occasion. A few days after the opening of school in September, Mr. Lothman called the Senior class together and asked for their co-operation in a plan he had conceived for raising money to purchase a new piano, namely, a lecture-course. As the class of 1914 had already done so much for the school, the members were not at first very enthusiastic about the proposition. But being assured of the assistance of the rest of the school, they agreed to co-operate in the undertaking. The Seniors, ably assisted by the Juniors and under-classmcn, went to work with characteristic "East High spirit" and within two weeks, sold enough course tickets to purchase a piano and to pay for all the expenses of the course. The piano purchased, a photograph of which appears above, is a Steinway Concert Grand of the best grade. It has a high ebony finish and presents a very imposing appearance on the platform. The first entertainment of the lecture-course was held Friday even­ ing, October 10, Mr. Edwin Brush, magician, illusionist and entertainer, being the attraction. An audience completely filling the Auditorium was present. Although Mr. Brush may not have been as "great" as the advance advertisements proclaimed and although some of his tricks may have been old to many of the spectators, nevertheless, the sleight-of-hand on the whole was mystifying to the audience and in some cases, humorous. One of the humorous incidents was the dis­ covery of a chain of wicner-wurst in Mr. Lothman's vest.

-134- The second number of the course was a concert given Wednesday, November 5, by White's Boston Octette. This company of skilled ar­ tists rendered popular selections from various operas and oratorios. On Monday, January 19, a good-sized audience heard Miss Margaret Stahl's masterful rendering of the well-known drama, "Strong-heart." Attractive and free from affectation, she won the approval of the audi­ ence no less by her charming personality, than by her excellent elocu­ tion. The fourth entertainment on the lecture-course was, as we might say, our drawing-card. On Wednesday evening, February 9, Dr. Bus- sell H. Conwell delivered his famous' lecture, "Acres of Diamonds." Although past the allotted threescore and ten in years, he is still as agile as a boy in body and as optimistic as one in thought. The audi­ ence was impressed both by his wisdom and his sound advice to the younger hearers. On Thursday, February 26, Dr. Bobert Parker Miles entertained the patrons of the lecture-course with his well-known lecture, "Tal­ low Dips." He first expiained that every individual is a tallow-dip burning out his existence. He then went on to describe his impres­ sions of some of the great tallow dips he had met, and dramatically impersonated them. Among those portrayed were George Francis Train, Gladstone, and Leo XIII. The concluding entertainment of the lecture-course was held Tues­ day, March 10, by the Schumann Quintet. Inis group of trained musi­ cians presented a carefully arranged program of classical music, in such a manner that eveiw listener, whether musically inclined or not, could appreciate the exceilence of it. On the whole, the lecture-course was a success, and, should the plan be tried again, even greater success seems assured. It may not be out of place here to express a few words of appreciation to Mr. Schulte for the time and effort he spent in making the entertainments a success. D. F. MELLON, '14.

TO THE FELLOW WHO DOESN'T SHINE

We sing inspiring songs of well-earned praise To those who shine upon the football field, Or on the track,—to all our stars who raise East's long-established prestige, and who shield Her name in every sport,—their number's few. Too few, we know,—we'll yield them honor due.

But East High's not made up of stars, we know, At football games the stands are filled with those Who never can be stars, but faithful, show Their loyalty, supporting those who rose Above them, so let's give one rousing shout For the quiet chap we seldom hear about.

435 Office of the Superintendent of Schools.

January 12, 1914.

To the Boys and Girls of the Cleveland Public Schools:— This is my first letter to you. While I address all, I trust that each of you will consider my message as personal to yourself, so important do I consider the subject of which I write. It is a homely subject, one with which you are indeed very familiar, the home and its relations. Simple and familiar as it is, here lies the very foundation of our civiliza­ tion. And this is not peculiar to our own civilization; it has been true of all civilizations since the dawn of history. So long as the relations of husband and wife and of parent and child have been wholesome and wise, just so long have civilizations endured. Whenever these relations have become less sacred, civilizations have begun to decay. The strength of the institutions we hoid most sacred, the school, the state and the church, lies largely in the home. In our day many forces, some of them even under the guise of service to mankind, tend to lessen the importance of the home in the minds of our people. Some of you, no doubt, feel it a hardship to stay at home in the evening, since so many of your school fellows are al­ lowed to go out under one pretext or another. If your parents place a restraint upon you in this respect, be assured it is for your real and lasting good and true happiness. As one greatly interested in your welfare, I wish to call your atten­ tion to the Father and Son movement, which is engaging the attention of serious thinkers. Prompted by the splendid and beautiful thought which has given rise to this movement, the Mayor of our city issued a New Year's proclamation, setting forth conditions which render this movement timely and wise. I commend it to your careful thought. So many agencies are tending to lessen the importance of the home rela­ tions in the minds of those that should be its makers and defenders that we must welcome this movement whose immediate purpose is to help the fathers to lend themselves to the confidence of their sons and the sons to open their hearts freefy to their fathers. But my thought would be but half expressed if I did not refer to the no less important relations of mother and daughter. There should exist between these the most intimate confidence. The boy who conceals his life from his father and the girl who fails to confide her thoughts and experiences to her mother, are in grave danger. On the other hand, the son who gives himself in con­ fidence and comradeship to his father, and the daughter who is the confidential companion of her mother, are absolutely safe. My young friends, I know that you wish to be happy and successful in the years that arc ahead, and knowing what your ambition is, permit me to point the way through this frank relation to your parents. Sincerely your friend, J. M. H. FREDERICK, Superintendent of Schools.

PABTED OR POMPED?

("For the fashion of this world passeth away." I. Cor. v. 6)

T puffed out, it waved and it undulated and the marvelous coils on top seemed most exquisitely concocted. But most remarkable I to Janey was the solid projecting cliff of blond pompadour out in front, delicately shading Lucille's eyes, on whose precipice was balanced a "pusher comb." Janey marvelled as she gazed into the yellow mass of it, for Janey's was not blond but a dull, sand brown; it did not puff out, it clung close to her temples and the monotonous regularity of her long white part agonized her. Janey's was straight and it was twisted in a knob in the back. Lucille's never straggled but Janey kenned little of invisible hair pins. Moreover, her hair was really in keeping with the rest of Janey's composition. While the blond Lucille was slender and tall and, oh, so willowy; our Janey was—well, rotund. Moreover, she was stocky and angular with a most immoderate waistline. Now a vital question agitated her contemplation. She had been considering it for some days, but had not quite made up her mind; Lucille did not wear a rat, but—was it ruffed? "Jane Bradley may recite," came the doom call from the front desk. Of course, it did stick out, but— "Jane Bradley, go on with the translation!" Slowly Jane rose and spoke decidedly: "No, I don't think it is." "Jane, from this remark I think we may infer that you aren't pay­ ing any more attention to Latin this morning than you have for the last few days. Report to me at recess. Edward Brown, recite." The tedious periods dragged themselves along and Janey's mental apparatus was in that mild stupor that we all experience when our minds are occupied with great cogitations. At recess, that oasis of relief in the barren desert of class-room monotony, as she meandered from class-room to sitting-room, Janey espied the fair Lucille engaged in giggling discourse with—oh, last dreg in the cup of woe, Jim of the football sweater, the massive shoulders, and the marvelous, lanky, black pompadour. As he lounged with superb nonchalance against the stair railing and gazed with admiring glance at Lucille as she giggled at his sallies, Janey yearned—yearned with all her feminine heart to stand thus and have the wonderful Jim look at her with that look. Just then Lucille pushed down the overhanging precipice with the pusher comb and simultaneously Janey directed her course to the dress­ ing room mirror. She fought her way through the chattering, buzzing, gossiping crowd about it and pulled out her side-comb, barette, and

—139— SHORT STORIES

the back comb with two teeth gone, then the pins, two wiggelv wire ones, five straight wires and three precious bones. Eagerly she worked, but the long white part would show itself and her cowlick bothered awfully, and—well, it just wouldn't pomp! Janey was prepared to shriek in despair when the bell for the next class clanged. Desperately she straightened her part and twisted it all up the old way. She grabbed up her books and joined the surg­ ing mob in the halls. The Fates, or whoever manages these things, had placed Jim's seat right behind Janey's in History that period. For this reason Janey usually looked forward to this as her big period, but now she sank into her seat with that sickening feeling that she couldn't look worse. The hurry of the coiffure arranging had not been propitious and things were not as tight as Janey's energetic hands usually made them. Hence it was small wonder that Jim poked her in the back and said, "You dropped something," handing her the old back comb with the teeth gone. With an embarrassed "Oh, thank you; excuse me," she received her property, savagely jabbing it into the knob. Then those persistent Fates, brought the fact to her sad and burdened mind that she had not reported to that horrible Latin teacher at recess. But it was all too much. Janey's usually active conscience refused to give even one awed gasp. She awaited the inevitable with the stolid indifference of one who knows and expects her doom. One hope consoled her; after it was all over, the sitting room call: "Miss Green to see Jane Bradfey at 1:30 p. m."; the bent head attention to the violent lecture, and the lonely walk home, she would be able to try it at home, with her own mirror, her own comb, and her own brush, with the crack in the back, and she would try "ruffing" it. All things come and all things go, and finally, with her heart full of relief and content, her hope was realized. Again the pins and the rest of the accouterments came out and with the joy born of expectancy and hope she shook and brushed out the straight brown strands. "It might cost five dollars in a switch," thought Janey with morbid humor. She divided, combed, ruffed, then turned and pinned. It didn't quite go right, it puffed out too much over her left ear and it didn't puff at all in back and the pompadour left much to be desired and it didn't look like Lucille's. However, it might improve with time and practice. At last she applied the back comb where it would do the most good to the "pomp" and sat down to her books. Did you ever have an absorbing interest and then try to think about something else. The more one tries the less well one succeeds. Janey bobbed up at three minutes' intervals and adjusted that bothersome lock behind her right ear or gazed upon the poise of the aforementioned toothless pusher. By the time table-setting and suppertime approached, Janey had imbibed very little concerning the causes of the Pelopsonesian war. Brother Bill, being that greatest of human savages, the ten-year-old boy, remarked at the table: "Gee, folks, get onto Janey's pomp! Looks like it had appendicitis in its felt lung." And Father pulled off his reading glasses and peered over the top of his evening paper. "Why, Janey, you don't look natural. Your hair's as mussy as a shop girl, down in your eyes that way. Mother, why don't you make that girl keep neat?"

"I don't care; I want to look like the other girls," burst out all Janey's pent up feelings. "Why, is this my jolly, happy girl!" Mother was settling things. "We'll talk about this after supper. Will, pass your father the sugar for his coffee." Supper over and dishes washed and the game of checkers with Father over, Janey departed to her own room and with the deter­ mination of antagonized seventeen, she brushed and arranged. When all was quite as Lucille-like as possible, she sacrified to the cause her pet white net veil that Aunt Nelly gave her last Christmas, and bound the whole wierd coiffure. She lay for half an hour before she slept, exhausted but sleepless, and afraid to turn on the pillow for fear of disturbing the effect. The next morning Janey possessed what one might call a doubtful "pomp." It started out quite well as a pompadour, but down in front it decided to return to its true nature and to part a bit. Janey ate breakfast with her hat on that morning, but the family thought it was only time. Now at last, Latin period had arrived and Janey was marching into Miss Green's class. Lucille, the blond Lucille, was just about to see Janey's wonderful pomp. But Janey's heart sank, her face was pale and her lips puckered; Lucille's hair was parted, clinging close to her temples, and unruffled and unpuffed,—it was twisted low in the back into a Janey knob.

THE TAPESTRIED ROOM GERTRUDE GOLDBERGER, 44

T WAS Christmas eve. There was a drawing-in of chairs about the big fireplace in the long library. Without, the wind howled piteously I and through the tall windows'the flying snow-flakes were still visible in the dim twilight. Sir James Margatt, our host, with tire firelight playing upon his ruddy face and silver hair, proceeded to respond to our entreaties by dragging the family skeleton from its cupboard. "It happened," he began, "in Christmas-week some eighty years ago. My grandmother, Lady Evangeline Margatt, was living here alone at the time; her husband was dead, and her two boj^s were away from home. Three days before Christmas, she gave shelter to a fugitive of the king's army, to whom, it is believed, she was at one time betrothed. But it happened that the messenger was hot upon his scent, and on the following evening he was captured and put in Preston Jail. "Whether the fugitive believed Lady Evangeline had betrayed him, or whether he acted from other motives, wiil never be known. What happened was that on Christmas eve, the night after his arrest, he broke out of jail, made his way here in the dead of night, scaled to the window of her ladyship's room, forced his way in, and brutally murdered her. For this crime he was hanged, as he deserved. "The traditional story is, that on every anniversary of the crime, the fugitive is to be seen scaling to the window of the tapestried room— as Lady Evangeline's room has come to be called. It is said that he enters, and that the crime is re-enacted by a ghostly murderer upon a ghostfy victim. I have never been tempted to investigate this haunting, because, it is said, that to any member of the family, the sight is of evil omen—a warning of approaching death. But I have been awakened early on Christmas mornings by terrified servants with the announce­ ment of some disturbance in the tapestried room." The feeling of awe which had come over me was broken by Edge- worth's harsh laugh of frank contempt. It occurred to me, however, to investigate the matter, for as tonight was the anniversary, I had an excellent opportunity. Accordingly, I asked if I might spend the night in the tapestried room. "Oh, no, Mr. Dennison!" exclaimed Sir James, "I would not subject a guest of mine to any annoyances." However, after disclaiming my fear of ghosts, our host relented, on condition that Edgeworth accompany me, which he readily consented to do. Therefore, about eleven-thirty, our host escorted us up to the tapes­ tried room, which had quickly been prepared for us. A piled-up fire was burning brightly in the hearth. A round mahogany table and two armchairs stood directly before it. On the table was a silver candela­ brum holding four lighted candles, also a pack of cards should we wish to while away the long hours of the night. Upon another table, a tray with glasses, a decanter, and a couple of bottles had been thoughtfully provided. I must confess, however, that in spite of these attempts at cheer­ fulness, a chill struck me as I entered that low-ceilinged room, and ob­ served the shadows cast by the canopied bed of carved walnut. The chamber was partly paneled in oak, and partly hung with old tapestries which added to the gloom. The tall window through which the mur­ derer had entered was concealed by faded hangings, and from the mo­ ment I entered the room, I could not conquer the feeling that someone or something was lurking behind them.

141 SHORT STORIES

At the head of the bed Sir James showed us a door so artfully con­ trived in the panelling that we might have entirely overlooked it. He opened it and disclosed a small ante-room in startlingly pleasant con­ trast to the gloomy bedchamber. A couch, a couple of armchairs, and a table covered in chintz, completed the little room's furniture. An oval mirror adorned the white mantel, and a fire burned cheerfully in the grate. A lamp standing upon the table lighted the little room. I asked whether this room had any connection with the murder. "It was here," replied Sir James, "that the lady's maid slept, and being awakened by her mistress's cries, attempted to go to her, but found it impossible to open the door. The door has no fastenings now, but might have had then, or perhaps she was prevented from opening it by her mistress's body which lay against it." When we were left alone, Edgeworth took up the pack of cards and we started to play. My attention, however, was anywhere but upon the game. Two or three times I looked around; things seemed to be stir­ ring in shadowy corners, and the tapestried curtains filled me with a sense that they concealed something. I refused to continue the game, and had scarcely replaced the cards when three distinct taps fell ab­ ruptly upon the window beyond the tapestry curtains. We stared at each other, and I felt 1113' blood run cold. Edgeworth stepped to the mantel, snatched up his pistol, and in that moment the treble knock was repeated more loudly than before. He crossed the room, flung aside the curtains, and opened the windows, disclosing shutters beyond them. In that instant the treble knock came quick and impatient. He sent the shutters crashing against the waff where they remained within catches provided for them. There was nothing to be seen. All was blackness outside, and an icy draught which disturbed the entire room, struck me. A feeling, that in opening the window we had admitted some awful, invisible presence, enveloped me. Edgeworth closed the casement without a word. Suddenly some­ thing cold touched my face. I cried out in terror, ft was as if an icy finger had-stroked me from temple to chin. Edgeworth, hearing my cry, peered at me and burst into a laugh when I explained. He then assured me it was only a snowflake that had melted on my hair. Nevertheless it completefy unnerved me, and I suggested going into the ante-room. Edgeworth would not go, so I arose, conscious of my trem­ bling knees, and entered the more cheerful room. I dropped into an armchair and called to Edgeworth to join me. His only answer was a request to shut the door between the ante-chamber and the larger room as there was a draught. A second invitation to shut the door was un­ necessary. As I gazed into the fire I heard Edgeworth approaching, and he entered with a glass of brandy for me. I drained the fiquor and Edgeworth returned to the tapestried room. The genial warmth of the fire combined with the effect of the brandy I had drunk, induced a drowsiness which I tried to resist but could not. From that moment I remember nothing until I was wide awake again. I must have slept some hours, for the fire was low and the room chilly. As I was just beginning to realize my situation, I heard Edgeworth calling my name from the tapestried chamber in a ter­ rified, choking voice. "Dennison! Dennison!" I sprang up at the sound but horror fettered me, for just outside the door came the sound of a falling body, a dragging noise, then a groan. At last, as silence continued, I sprang forward and pushed the door. But it would not give. There was something against it to pre­ vent it's opening. Just then f recalled Sir James' words'about the maid and I felt my hair bristle. SHORT STORIES

I almost cried out in fresh terror, when I spied something creeping under the door, something narrow as a knife-blade and dully gleaming. As it reached an irregularity in the spread. It was fluid, deep red. It was blood! My fears for Edgeworth surged up again and I quit the room by the door leading to the corridor. Outside the tapestried room I hesitated, then called "Edgeworth! Edgeworth!" There was no answer, no sound, and I flung the door open. The room was in disorder; the table had been overturned, the cards and candles scattered on the floor. Against the door I had tried to open lay Edgeworth. That he was dead the first glimpse of his livid face assured me. He lay in a pool of blood that had ceased to flow from whatever wound had been dealt him. I noted all that in one brief glance and then fled shouting toward the servants' quarters. Within five minutes I returned with the butler and a footman. The butter knelt beside Edgeworth and then looked up at me with a grin. I stared at the thing he held. It was a broken wine bottle. The blood on the floor was the blood of grapes! Further explanation is scarcely needed. Edgeworth had tried to bolster up his courage with fiquor, and having drunk too much, stum­ bled against the table. In falling he had broken the bottle, and it was a miracle that he had not hurt himself. The following day when I told about the tapping, the shutters were examined. One of the hinges was found to be loose and had been used as a knocker by the wind.

-147- SHORT STORIES

WHEN I WAS SIX YEARS OLD MUST have been a most annoying and troublesome child, but hap­ pily I did not reafize it, and kept up my tactics, to the dismay of 1 the whole family, until I outgrew them. * We lived with my grand­ father and grandmother, and as several of mother's brothers "and her sister were not yet married, I was surrounded by quite a number of people to whom I was a torture. My aunt was young and pretty and very popular, and every night young gentlemen came to call upon her. Rut I thought they came to see me, and used to feel quite injured when mother forbade me to go into the room and entertain them, and I often showed it by yeiling lustily. Eight o'clock was my bedtime, but I realize now that Mother must have dreaded that time even more than I. Our house was very large, and the upstairs seemed very far away from the first floor/ There were so many stairs and they were so high up that I seemed almost alone in the world, when up there by myself, f used to invent all sorts of schemes by which I might keep Mother upstairs as long as possible, and would beg for stories and chatter a long time each night. But of course, I could not talk all night, and sooner or later Mother would turn down the light and go downstairs. Then my horrors began. I would look around the room, my eyes wide open, and the cfothing hung over the chairs, the shadows, and everything discernible seemed to take on the form of animals. There I would lie, seeing wolves and bears and not daring to close my eyes lest they should spring at me. Then finafly I would become so excited and so scared that I simply had to have someone to talk to. The family was usually downstairs in the library, and my aunt with her admirers in the parlor. As I was so far away from everyone it would seem so quiet that I would be afraid that the family had all gone out and that I was alone in the bouse. Then I would yell, "Mother!" "What?" she would answer. "Are you there?" "Yes; what do you want?" Lacking something to say I would remark, "Are you a good mamma? If you will be a good mamma, I will be a good girl." Then she would become angry and refuse to talk. After several futile attempts to engage Mother in fur­ ther conversation, I would begin on Grandmother and go through the same rigmarole. She usually stood it for a short time, and then she became silent, too. If by that time I had not fallen asleep, I would then tackle my aunt, who was probably ashamed to death of my con­ duct. Her admirers often ground their teeth and threatened awful things, but what could they do? Numerous whippings and scoldings did me no good and thus I made each night a torture to the whole family, until I became older and wiser. My youngest uncle was about sixteen years old, and I was the de­ light of his life. Teasing me seemed to be his sole occupation. When meals were served he and I would of course arrive at the table first, being starved to death as children usually are. We always had Vienna bread and it was my ambition to obtain'the little point of crust which reposed on the bread plate. Although my uncle really didn't want this "nubbin," as I called it, he used to wait until I'd come to the door and then deliberately take the precious crust. Often I would set up a cry, but he would put the bread in his pocket and by the time the rest of' the family came to the table he would be calmly sitting there, look­ ing innocent and calling me a cry-baby because I "cried at everything" he said. During this period of my existence I was also "door daffy," as my uncle delicately expressed it.' In the winter when I started out to play,

-148- SHORT STORIES if the door was closed, I would immediately scream and yell, until Mother opened it. I was afraid that I would never get in again and that I had been locked out purposely. Sometimes, when Mother was not around, my uncle would push me out of the door and then laugh and have a general good time while I stood outside crying. But, when Mother appeared, he alwaj^s became very angelic. Thus I passed this, my sixth year, tormented by strange ideas and childish superstitions, and when I emerged from that stage of my de­ velopment I can imagine that more than one person drew a long, satis­ fied breath of relief.

THE CALL TO THE FIBE

ATHARINE and I had been having the most fun teasing Heb and Margerat. You see we were ail on a trip up the lakes on a won­ C derful frieght boat. The Daniel J. Morrel was a six-hundred- footer, or rather a six-hundred-and-seventeen-footer, and we lived like millionaires up in the forward cabin. "Down below," in our sleeping quarters, were six staterooms and a sitting room. "Above" were the captain's suite of rooms and the observation room. Well, to get back to the story, Mr. and Mrs. Worthington had in­ vited Mother and me, Catharine Worth, my chum; Heberton, Cath­ arine's brother, and his fiancee, Margerat Stone, to go on a trip up the lakes. Mother couldn't go because Daddy was away from home just then, but the rest of us started out, a merry party, Friday, the thirteenth of July, nineteen thirteen. Heberton took Margerat down to the boat in a taxi, even after we tried to persuade him for a week that they could go with us in the ma­ chine all free of charge and that he would have that much more money for flowers and so forth for Margerat. But he had the only-room-for- two-in-a-taxi idea, and you couldn't budge him from it. Such is life with an engaged couple around. And that's just one instance of how Heb adored Margerat, and Catharine and I had amused ourselves a good deal of the time in frus­ trating Heb's little adorations and Margerat's sweet returns. Aunty Worthington—for I had always called her aunt—would say, "Now, girls, don't get into any mischief and don't pester Heberton and Mar­ gerat quite to death!" Then we would run for our kodaks and snap some pictures of them when they were—well, what you might call some­ what absorbed in each other, because they were absolutely the most devoted people you ever had to live with for two weeks on a boat six hundred and seventeen feet by sixty feet. Contrary to most sisters, Catharine didn't spare Heberton for jokes even if he was her own brother. He was engaged and that was enough to start her teasing him. But the real excitement of the whole trip came on our way home, when we were in the middle of Lake Huron, on Sunday morning. None of us had awakened yet, so Marcellus, the chef, was jingling the tele­ phone bell to wake us up. The "phone bell rang three times and in­ stantly following it the fire bell on deck banged out three clangs. Of course it scared every one of us out of bed and out of our senses, too. Then we heard some one above say, "Fire!" and the rest was lost, and Cat and I nearly collapsed. Margerat's room adjoined ours and Mar­ gerat came tearing in, in her night clothes, gasping something about, "Where is Heb? He ought to be here to help us escape," and tore back into her room, still calling to Heb. By this time Aunty Worthington called to us to keep cool and get some clothes on as quick as we could and then come out in the hall. She told us Mr. Worthington and Heber­ ton were dressing as quickly as possible, and they would go on deck to see what the trouble was. Our hall door blew open and Catharine was trying to hold that shut and dress, too. Of course everything went wrong. We couldn't find what we wanted, and to confuse us all the more Margerat wailed and gasped, asking us where all her clothes were, and"tore around those two rooms too frightened to act sanely. This time we heard the captain shouting orders above, the men were running around on the decks, and we expected every minute to see an axe conic crashing through our wall. "Out with the hose and axes, quick! You four go astern and lower the boats! Hurry!" he shouted.

—150— SHORT STORIES

We looked out our deck windows. Already four deckhands tore down those six hundred feet like lightning, four others had lowered the life­ boats. Still we could hear the captain shouting, but never a word of warning or summons for us to hurry to the boats or get out of the cabins. We struggled along as fast as our frantic, excited minds permitted. By this time we heard Mr. Worthington and Heb rush up stairs and on deck—but nothing more, for the hose was being dragged around the deck. Already one was sending out a stream of water and made such a racket that everything was a confused mass of noise overhead. Aunty Worthington was nearly beside herself, half dressed looking for her rings and the few other pieces of jewelry which she had with her, tell­ ing us not to get excited and keep cool, that Mr. Worthington and Heberton would come right back and help us out. Margerat was the worst of all. She was still running around trying to dress, while she clung desperately to Heb's picture and her box of his letters that she always kept with her, crying incessantly why Heberton didn't come and save her—it didn't matter what happened to us. Finally Cat and I succeeded in getting dressed enough. Too frightened and anxious to know what was happening "above," we ran upstairs and were met almost squarely in the face by a heavy stream of water that nearly knocked us over. I yelled: "For heaven's sake, is the boat on fire? And where's Heberton? Margerat is dying down there to know why you don't come down and save her?" Well, just as we rushed down the inside stairs to Margerat, Mr. Worthington burst into Mrs. Worthington's room to tell her. Cat and I fell on Margerat, who was still raving, and said—just as if the boat was going down that minute—"The worst has come—it's only a fire drill!" She was too excited to really comprehend what we said, but the first thing she said was, "It's only a fire drill? Where's Heb; is he all right?" Aunty Worthington came in to comfort Margerat, because Cath­ arine and I were too busy getting dry and laughing over it to see Mar­ gerat's sorrow any more. Heberton was in for it now. It seems he was up on deck watching the fire drill and for once he really had for­ gotten Margerat. Now he came down to her door and begged to see her, but poor hurt and tearfully defiant Margerat didn't come to break­ fast. She didn't really make up to Heb until we were nearly home, and we heard her say to Heb as he helped her into the tug, "Of course, I know if there really was a fire you would have come down to me, wouldn't you?" Heb answered, "Of course I would have, dear," and then looked around at us to see if we had heard them.

Do you know that some day those flowers will fade, Their petals and leaves will be shed; When the gay little brook will be covered with ice, And the Spirit of Summer be dead?

Do you know where the love of a lifetime lies In a heart that is biithe and gay; Which sings and runs like the brooklet did, And blooms as the flowers did one day?

Do you know that a clay will come in that heart, When the strings of the heart will have bled; When the gay little brooklet of mirth will be gone, And the Spirit of Love will be dead?

It was awful mixy. I had a hard time makin' head er tail to the durned thing. It begun where a fella named Orlando was mad at his brother Oliver. Oliver was jealous of Orlando and he was alius a' tryin' to think of some way to git rid o' him. Then there was another fella who tried to wrastle with Orlando. Gee! if I couldn't wrastle better 'n' them fella's I wouldn't try it in public anyway. Wa-al, Orlando came out on top, a' course. They alius do in stories.

When first I did enter East High School, A timid, subdued little flat, I learned of two methods of studying, The wrong and the right, this and that.

Now, this one, the wrong way of working, Was to study all over the house, Learning Latin declensions in one room, And English, curled up on a couch.

But, that one, the right way of studying, Was to have a nice, business-like desk, "And, sitting down squarely before it," Said our principal, "study your best." Then when I became a gay Soph'more, I received from my teacher, Miss Black, The impression that all of such studying Was woefully on the wrong track. She advised us to seek a cold corner And a high chair with nary a curve, And with book held straightly before us, Our thoughts from the subject ne'er swerve. And now I am almost a Senior, I will tell you this truth, freshmen fair, I've learned every one of my lessons, Curled up in a big arm-chair. DOROTHY STANLEY, '15.

A GIRL AT FULL-BACK | |H, GEE, I wish I was a boy and could do something for the I I school." "Yes, I think it's a mean shame," sympathized Mary. "The fellows can play football, basketball, baseball, debate, cheer4ead, and do all kinds of things for the school, and we girls can't do anything." "Well, you don't have to complain," said Dorothy. "You won a first in the skating races and helped bring the cup to the school, but I —I can't do anything. If only I could play football, if I could do some­ thing for the school, I'd be willing to give my neck." "Oh, say, Dorothy, isn't that great about Charles? They've been coaching him all week to take Captain Wick's place for the Academy game. It certainly is fierce to have the captain out for this game, but it's a bit of good luck for Charley." "Well, Charley had to wait a long time for his chance, and now that he's got it, I'll bet he'll make good. To think of it! For two years he's been a sub and now he's going to play fullback against Academy. Isn't it great? Won't he look swell though, out there at fullback be­ tween Southwick and Jack Trent." "He certainly will. I suppose the best thing we can do is to buy a ticket and go out and root for the team." "And every time Charley does something, you can bet we'll make a lot of noise." "And," finished May, "perhaps we'll see Charley win the game for his school" (and with a smile) "and for his little Dorothy." The next day Dorothy and Charley Sumners met on the way home from school, and the first thing she said to him was: "Congratulations, Charles! Gee, I'll bet your glad." "Huh, what have I got to be glad for?" grunted Charley. "Why, you're going to play fullback against Academy, aren't you? That's great!" "Maybe I am." "Maybe? Why, the coach has been playing you at fullback all week and everybody says he intends to play you against Academy, Saturday." "Well, I guess he did intend to, but—" "But what? Do }rou mean that somebody else has got ahead of you? Oh, Charles, go in there and play your head off. Show him that you can do it. This is your big chance, Charley, and don't you let any­ body take it away from you." "Well, it ain't that exactly. The coach is satisfied with me, all- right, but—but the faculty says I'm ineligible, and I've been taken off the team." "Ineligible? But you can be eligible by Saturday." "No; there's no hope." "Why, they'll give you an examination, won't they, and if you pass that"— "Yes, they'll give me an examination all right, but I couldn't pass it. Old Crane would make out the test and he'd give me the stiffest one lie could make. I'm afraid it's all up with me." "I'll bet you can get Prexy to get another teacher to make out your test. He'll (to almost anything right now before the big game." "Well, even if he did, a test's a test, and I couldn't pass the blame thing, anyway. There's only two days left and I, well, I don't care. I'm

456- SHORT STORIES through with football. I never got a square deal at this school, any­ way." "Oh, Charles, don't say that! You're letting your temper get the best of you now. Aren't you ashamed of yourself? A big, healthy fellow like you willing to throw up the sponge because you can't pass a little history exam. What's the matter with you? Can't you make a little sacrifice for your school? You used to be all right in your studies. Have pleasure, success and indolence got the best of you? I wish I had a chance to play on the football team. I'd study till twelve o'clock every night, even if I had to pinch myself to keep awake. And I would glory in working hard. Have you "lost that pride of conquest, that strength to overcome obstacles, that glory of victory, that never-say-die spirit, that secret of the joy of life, which you used to tell me football taught you? Are you going to sit by and let somebody &. t your place? And think of the school. The team needs you. With Captain Wick out you are the only man who can take his piace. Your father, your mother, all your friends will come to see Charley Summers play full­ back and Charley Sumners won't even be on the field, but sitting on the bench in disgrace, his football clothes given to another. But that won't happen, not if I know Charles Sumners. You know enough, you've got grit enough, to make good before Saturday's game. There's plenty of time. Today's only Wednesday. There's tonight, tomorrow and Fri­ day. Why, a little study and you can pass that test on Friday or Satur­ day easily. And then you'll play in that game Saturday." "By gosh, I'll do it. That cloudburst on your part has refreshed me and I feel fine now. I'll pass that test and I'll play fullback against Academy, Saturday. You just rest assured of that." Dorothy began to chuckle, her face brightened, and finally she burst out into a hearty laugh. "Oh, say, Charley, I've got an idea. I'll tutor you. As long as I've started the missionary game, I might as well see it through and make sure of my convert. You come over to my house for lessons and I'll teach you the history necessary to pass that exam." "Surely, with you as teacher, the class ought to be mighty interest­ ing. I'll join." "All right, it's a whizz. Report at 7:00 o'clock with books, paper and pencil." "All right, teacher. Good-bye, teacher." "Good afternoon, sonnj'." Charley went home, happy and cheerful again. He was sure he could pass that exam if he really tried. He realized that he had been making a mistake. He was thankful to Dorothy for having brought him back to his senses and he read fifty pages of that history before supper, in order that he might make a good impression on his new teacher. When Charley arrived at the house, he found the schoolroom in readiness. There was the pretty teacher, a table, two chairs, and a lighted lamp. This was the first school where Charley had ever seen the teacher and pupil sit side by side at the same desk—a very pleasant innovation for Charley. Dorothy in the role of teacher proceeded to instruct and examine her pupil, and they both found that the pupil was not as dense as expected. But "a little learning is a very dan­ gerous thing." As they sat, bending over the table, vivid pictures of the football field and other vivid pictures came to Charley's mind. Sev­ eral times, Charley tried to turn the discussion from ancient Sparta and Cleopatra to something more modern and interesting. But these at­ tempts always found Dorothy the prim and stern teacher. After sev-

eral lessons, Charley became very familiar with history and was able to pass the examinations on Friday. Dorothy and May were sitting side by side in the stands, watching the game. The school team was leading, six to nothing, due to a touch­ down made by Charley Sumners, the sub fullback. "Don't you wish you were playing out there today?" asked May of Dorothy. "You see that fullback position out there where Charley is stand­ ing? Weil, that's where I'm playing today," replied Dorothy, with a very knowing smile. MILTON S. GROSSMAN, 44.

"IF" OTHER, what would you do if you suddenly received a million dollars from some unknown person?" asked little Freddie of Mhi s mother, who was busy doing the family sewing, which was no easy task. "Well, I don't know, my son, what I would do, as there are so many things in which I could use money, but, as long as I am not going to get it, what is the use of talking about it?" "Yes, I know all of that; but what if you should, and wouldn't it be just grand if we had an automobile to go whizzing through the streets in, every day? Then I would show the fellows that we were coming up in the world, if we had an automobiie." "Yes, but what is the use of talking about all of these things so far out of our reach?" replied the mother. "It only tends to make one dissatisfied." Oh, I don't think so," quickly replied the boy. "Now, if we had a machine and had a million dollars besides, why then, if we wanted to we could get an aeroplane. You know they will soon be in style. My! wouldn't that be fine if we could go flying through the air like birds! You know, I always thought it would be lots of fun if I could fly. Say, Mother, if I had a nickel do you know what I would do? Well, if I had a nickel, I would go to the picture show; they have awfully good pic­ tures there today. And, Mother, if I had two nickels I would take May Jones with me." "For goodness' sakes, get a dime and go," quickly replied his mother. JEAN STEWART, 45.

FLASHLIGHTS ON THE A-II. SENIORS

AM a member of the A-I, Senior Class, which received all the cares I and responsibilities of the A-II. Seniors on the first of February, minus their privileges and dignity. "Among them but not of thenV' is a motto extremely appropriate for our class. But being a mere spec­ tator I have had time to observe the demigods and goddesses of their class and now I shall turn a flashlight searchlight upon them. Do you see the graceful bow that youth is making and the anxious way in which he examines his well kept pompadour as we turn the light upon him? Well, that is William Dunbar, the most illustrious president of a most illustrious class. Never has he been known to fail in the finest point of etiquette, and the onfy chance given us for criti­ cism is his innocent air. Somebody grabbed your arm, did you say? Oh! that was Wallace Young. Surely you know that he is a very important factor in the Senior Class. A most important youth, without whose businesslike equalities we could not for a moment exist. Never have I heard him speak a serious word, but I have been told that he actually conducts a Christian Endeavor meeting, so it would seem that appearances are ofttimes deceiving. Permit me to introduce to you Miss Josephine Burke. The quiet, demure Vice-President of the Senior Class. She is wisely non-com­ mittal so that no blame may ever rest on her. She is most demure so that no one may ever connect her with any mischief. She has but one failing which is however a most important one. It is a tendency to hold all the offices possible to hold. But surely one must not expect even a Senior to attain perfection. Yes, that tall youth who is gently hopping from one foot to the other in the limelight yonder, is Charles Henry. He is the most famous orator of his day and class. Note his remarkable self-control and poise as he stands there on the platform. Never will you see Charles twist­ ing his fingers together. Always, always, he keeps his arms quietly at his sides. His words fall clearly and his language is excellent. There is no hesitancy in his speech as he rises to the occasion. No, in all sincerity, Charles has never failed us yet. That boy who is now mounting the platform is Eugene Krauss. Please observe the apologetic way in which he urges us to write for the Annual. The calm air with which he thrusts his hands into his pockets speaks well for Miss O'Gradv's careful training. Oh, yes, he has to speak hurriedly, for he is a hard-worked youth. One of his most de­ lightful characteristics is his charming blush. Do you see that girl arguing with Geoffrey Landesman? Well, that is Helen Davis. I have no doubt but "Woman's Suffrage" is the sub­ ject under discussion, for it is rumored that Helen's purpose in attend­ ing school is to champion her beloved cause. Oh, yes; she is just as cheerful as she looks, for worry does not agree with Helen and there­ for she lets it strictly alone. She is forever busy and may be seen fly­ ing down the hall at almost any time during the day. I have yet to see the dav when Helen does a thing accurately or when she fails to smile her optimistic smile. And now with this resume of some of the leading lights among the A-II. Seniors I am content to close, and if they do not agree with me I can only say, in the words of "Peg o' My Heart," "Sure, and one or the other of us is seein' all wrong." DOROTHY STANLEY, 45.

MY FRIEND THE EDITOR

I had a friend, and a right good friend, Whom I would forever and aye defend; But now my friend has from me soar'd: They put her on the Annual Board.

She rushes 'round with anxious mien, Her brows are bent whene'er she's seen; She has so many things to do, And keeps us all in quite a stew.

I seek her out in early morn, Find her 'mong papers neat or torn; I ask why Homer said this (if she knows), And beg for the use of my borrowed prose. She sighs, she groans, she lamenteth, too, And says, "H'm, fifteen—yes—twenty—er, do!" I retreat in despair; for what can one say To a person who talks in that rambling way.

The lunch hour comes, and I gain her side, I fear she's no longer her teacher's pride; For she favors me with one wild look, Then hastily buries her nose in a book. "I don't know my French, I don't know my Greek; This awful Latin will take me a week; But I must recite it in just one minute, And ought to know ev'ry verb that's in it."

Then off she goes at a reckless pace, Till her hair streams down about her face; I see a blurred object hasten past, And hear, "Oh, I hope this clock is fast!"

I plead and beseech: "Oh, stay, Dottie dear, Or you'll have nervous prostration, I fear." But all my pleading's of little avail; Till the book comes out I must rest my tale. JANET F. AGNEW, 45.

A QUESTION

Were you ever a Junior or Senior Or a Freshman or Sophomore perhaps, With a special aversion to studying, And a fondness for long morning naps? Did you ever go to a party, Or a concert or lecture at school, When all the lessons were shortened (?) By Mr. Lothman's kind rule? But in spite of the fact they were shortened You stiil had so much to do And you didn't feel a bit like studying, And you wanted to take a walk, too? But you made up your mind you would get them, So when you got home that day You immediately got down to business And started to "whittle away"? But somehow your German was tiresome, Your Latin was stupid and dull, And out of your solid geometry Not one bit of sense could you cull? For somehow your thoughts were not on them, But seemed to be straying elsewhere, Now in the maze of high jinks,— Now on the new dress you would wear. So you strapped all your books in a bundle, And went out in the cool, bracing air, And you said to yourself, "I can't get them, I've tried, so why should I care?" The evening came with the party, The flowers and music so gay, And you felt so light and happy As if you could 'most fly away. But, alas, it was very soon over, For all good things must end; And you felt sort of tired and sleepy, As your homeward way you did wend. Then you thought of your unprepared lessons, And fear swept on like a storm, And you saw all those zeros and zeros You were sure to get the next morn. But soon an idea came to you, And you grasped it quick with delight; "I'll get up at four in the morning And study with all my might." So you tiptoed quietly upstairs, And set the alarm clock for four, Then placed it under your pillow, And soon you knew no more. Till "buzz-z-z!" came a noise from the pillow, And you jumped up quick with a start: "Oh, dear, it can't be four o'clock, For outdoors it's still quite dark. And it's awfully cold and dreary, And this room is jus like ice; To sleep just ten more minutes Oh, wouldn't it be nice!"

No sooner said than done, And to sleep once more you go, Unmindful of the ticking clock, And the cold, bleak winter snow. Till, then alas, sad fate, Your mother's voice you hear: "Why, daughter, it is seven o'clock; You must get up, my dear!" Then you gazed in blank amazement, But did as you were bid, W4th all those lessons still unlearned,— Now, didn't you? I did. RUTH PAISLEY, 45. H

A PERFECT DAY

To one who has been long in city pent, 'Tis very sweet to view the dawn of fair And glad vacation,—to breathe a prayer That this last week of tests is safely spent,

Who is more happy when, with heart's content, Fatigued, she sinks into some pleasant chair With nice broad arms, and reads a story fair And munches chocolates with serene intent?

And going to her supper, with an ear Catching the newest ragtime,—with an eye Watching the luscious viands now so near, She mourns that clay so soon has glided by, And that in spite of Nature's stringent rule She must arise next morn—and go to school.

COUNTERFEITERS OR several years it has been the custom of our family to spend the summer at a small camping village. It is a quiet, restful F place, protected from the outside world by encircling hills. The peacefulness of the country seems to have a strong attraction for the people, because those who come once, come year after year. A river flows by the white tents and large trees shelter them from the hot rays of the sun. Along the banks of the river is a row of weeping-willow trees, with branches so long that they touch the lilies growing in the water below. Since the river near the banks is shallow and in the middle only three feet deep, the favorite means of travel is by canoe. When these are not in use they are tied to low docks along the banks. For the most part they are hidden by overhanging branches, but now and then a glimpse is caught of a dark red or green bow or maybe a shining paddle. The most important event of the day is when we boys get the mail. We are obliged to go to the post-office" of the nearest town, which is about five miles away. When we come back we distribute the letters from tent to tent. All the boys in the camp are willing to undertake this mission, for they always hear the news of the town from the post­ master. There were a great many quarrels among us as to which one should be allowed this privilege, so our mothers decided it would be no more than fair to let a different one go each day. Thus it was that about the third day after we had started camping this summer it was my turn. It was a particularly lucky day for me because I heard one choice piece of news to tell my chums. Hardly waiting to distribute the mail to the tents I went down to the river and gave a shrill whistle. This meant news to all that heard it, and the whole bunch came tearing like mad toward the bank. When they were all gathered about me I began my exciting story. "You know I went for the mail today?" They all nodded. "Well, I had hardly closed the door in the post-office when Mr. Woodard wanted to know if I had heard the news. Of course I told him I hadn't. He said that there had been great excitement over at the bank the last two days because some counterfeit money had been passed. The town constable and nearly all the men are trying to find the counterfeiters. They are offering a reward of ten dollars for any news concerning them and one hundred dollars for their capture." Here my chum, Fred, spoke up and said, "I say, boys, what a lark! Let's see if we can find them. I don't know why we couldn't." "Anything for excitement," said I. "Let's lay our plans carefully. Come on, Fred, j^ou and I can talk it over together and the rest can and then compare notes." The river being the quietest place, Fred and I decided to paddle down. We started out in our canoes and paddled slowly until we turned the bend in the river. There we were startled to see a large building set among the trees. This was strange. I looked at Fred and he at me. It couldn't be a camp I knew for the land along the river was private ground. Our park was the only inhabited spot for miles around. As\ve came year after year we had always looked upon this section as belonging to us exclusively. While we were looking at the house an old, white-haired gentle­ man came out, followed by two rough-looking men. The white-haired man seemed to be asking the others very earnestly to do something for him. At first the men refused, but afterwards they yielded and we heard them say distinctly, "All right, at seven, then." After this they disappeared in" the Avoods and the old man returned to the house. "Wonder what's up?" said Fred. "Let's Avait aAvhile and see." -164-- SHORT STORIES

So Ave fastened our canoes to a tree trunk and climbed out on land and cautiously made our Avay to the house. We crept closer in order to look in at the windoAvs. They were so high that we could see almost nothing. I found an old box and stood on that for a moment, but it Avas so rotten that it broke. Yet in the brief view I caught a glimpse of a table with what looked like money lying on it. I Avas greatly excited and told Fred in a loud whisper. We both had the same thought about the matter—that this must be the home of the counterfeiters. We paddled back to camp as fast as Ave could and related our adventures to the boys. They Avere as excited as Ave. "What do you suggest they meant by seven?" "Oh, I suppose, maybe they are—" Fred began. "I knoAA'," I interrupted. "They are probably going to make some more money tonight. Say, let's go down there around seven o'clock and capture them. Then we'll divide the reAvard among us. What do you say, boys?" They all agreed. During the supper hour there was an air of suppressed excitement in every tent. Never before since Ave could remember had such events happened in our quiet little camping A'illage. We decided not to tell our parents until after AAre had captured the men. We Avanted the glory all to ourselves. After supper Ave slipped aAAray in our canoes and paddled SAviftly to the neAV house. We saAV intensely bright lights streaming from the windows and casting weird reflections on the river and trees. By means of a ladder which we had towed with us we climbed within view. I was first up. "There they are, boys. The two rough-looking men and the AAdiite- haired one. And yes, there's the money on the table. They're making it as fast as they can. Hear the noise from the machine." A dull, monotonous sound, like pounding on metal, came to our ears, and then a sharp, grating noise, like a file drawn across steel. "If they have revolvers there'll be some shooting," I said to the boys. "We'll have to lay in for them. Come on. They're moving toward the door." The bushes were thick just in front of the door and we had barely concealed ourselves behind them before the three men appeared in the doorAvay. I clutched my canoe paddle and Fred his, as they were the only weapons we had brought. "NOAV for it," I whispered. "Wait till the old man closes the door. We'll all jump on the two and bind them and then go back for the white- haired one." Just then the Avhite-haired one spoke. "Good evening, gentlemen, and thank you, very much. The next time I need some gamblers for my pictures I'll knoAVAvhere to get some. The films Avill be ready in about a Aveek. By next Saturday, perhaps Ave'll have a trial to see how clear they are on the canvas. You might bring your families along to see you as moving picture actors." "Wouldn't care to have my friends see me looking so tough," said one, as they made their Avay toward the village. Too disgusted to talk, Ave paddled back to the tents. "Moving pictures," I thought. "Why couldn't Ave tell that from the first? Might have known that old man was too nice for a counter­ feiter. One of the men Avas Mr. Davies from the grocery, too. Recog­ nized his voice." "You missed all the excitement," shouted my father, from the bank. "We just captured some counterfeiters that were passing money at the A'illage bank. Looked all over for you boys. Thoughtyou might en­ joy the capture. Where have you been?" "Oh, just taking a moonlight paddle," I answered, sheepishly. ALICE RIC.HTER, '15 -165— SHORT STORIES

A TRIUMPHANT TRAGEDY

Fate was sure against this freshman, True, he'd lingered in the hall, But his foot had caught on something, And, of course, he took a fall. Precious seconds then he wasted, Gathering up his scattered books; Classmates swiftly hurried by him, All with silly, laughing looks. When he had his books collected, Pallid cheeks shoAved 'neath the tan, For he knew he had five seconds; Then fear clutched him, and he ran. Down the hall, now quite deserted, Swifter e'en than Mercury, Faster, faster, and still faster, Like the West Wind he did flee. On the spot his limbs were frozen As the fugitives of Troy, For behind him he heard footsteps, And a thundering voice called "Boys!" Then a spirit loomed above him And he dared not raise his eye, While there were expounded to him Regulations of East High. Soon howe'er the trial Avas over And the flat again was free. Not yet! From dark shadows Came the coach, none else but he. Now the flat is all a-tremble. Why has Fate been so unkind? Just because he ran a little What new trouble must he find? The coach then spoke, "What's your name, sonny?" "Thomas William Robert Mac—" "Well, that's enough," the coach continued; "But, I say, Tom; come out for track." JOSEPH HERBERT, 44.

I The year of our story it Avas more exciting than ever before, for now for the first time the Suffragettes had a candidate in the field. After parading, shouting, and making themselves general nuisances all day, the Suffragettes in full body had come to their headquarters, to await results. Everybody was talking at once, but I doubt very much whether anyone heard AA'hat was said by her neighbor. Suddenly the babble stopped, for an official-looking man appeared, and shouted, "Ninth District, Mrs. Burns, 204; McMillan, 169, and Williams, 138." At this announcement, a general hurrah was given, and some voices began the shout, "Sadie! Sadie! Speech!" which was soon taken up by every voice in the building. Although most people were extremely loud, Mrs. Burns seemed unnaturally quiet. As the roof of the building was in great danger, and as the Suf­ fragettes did not desire an accident, Mrs. Sadie Burns was pushed for­ ward. After she had mounted the platform, she bowed, cleared her throat three times in the most approved, manner, and then began: "Ladies, it gives me great pleasure to speak to you today. As my topic I have selected, 'How I Became a Suffragette.' For years I had wished to join your most honored Order, but I never had had enough initiative to take that step. I had talked about becoming a Suffragette, and eA^en made many vain attempts to do so, but in every attempt I failed. I even Avent so far as to buy a ticket to the lecture of that most respected and persecuted leader, Mrs. Pankhurst, but it was eaten by the baby. On that account I did not attend, but again began only to hope I would become one of you. However, I made no effort to join you, and for some time only talked of what I would do if I were with your body. "At another time, I had even gone to a meeting Avith my husband, but so great was the crowd that a package which I carried was knocked from my hands. It contained my blue charmeuse dress, with the fur trimmings, and the kimono sleeves, and it was really stepped on." Unconsciously, Mrs. Burns had wandered from her subject, and was speaking about the favorite feminine topic-—dress. Her audience became more interested, and such questions as "Draped skirt?" "The one with the cerise sash?" were hurled at her. But Mrs. Burns was launched on her favorite topic, and ignoring all inquiries, she continued, "But one night when my husband abso­ lutely refused to help dry the dishes, or to shovel coal in the furnace, I made up my mind. From that time on I have been a decided and de­ termined Suffragette. I had received a cause for action, which I myself should have supplied. So with my case in your minds as an example, ladies, I wish you would do less preliminary work, and immediately begin the work in which you are interested. There are two old pro­ verbs to illustrate this, which are, 'Do less talking and more acting,' and 'If you stay in the Aralley, you will never get over the hill.' " At this point, a man came, and called out loudly, "Final returns. Mrs. Burns, 4,472; McMillan, 4,204; Williams, 2,793." Immediately Mrs. Burns found herself in the center of an admiring, shouting croAvd, each person of which Avas trying to embrace her. After that a great celebra­ tion was held, at which many Avomen spoke. When Mrs. Sadie Burns, Mayor of Rockport, retired, hours later, she felt many years older in dignity and many months wiser in political knowledge, and as she fell asleep, she found herself murmuring these words: "If you stay in the valley, you Avill never get over the hill."

A BEAR STORY

HEN I was in Canada last winter, I had quite an unusual ex­ perience. My party encamped about forty miles from no­ W where, in northern Canada. There was a heavy crust of snow, and consequently no difficulty in walking. Three of us set out Avith the dog one morning to look for deer. About two miles from camp we came to a fork in the trail. The two paths met about two miles farther on. After a discussion we decided that two men should take one trail and one man and the dog the other. We were to meet at the other end if we found nothing on the way. We drew tots and with my usual bad luck I had to go alone with the dog. I was somewhat disturbed at the thought of going alone with the dog. But keeping the dog in sight, I went along, shooting at every bird or small animal in sight. I stiil pride myself in my shooting, as I had a great deal of practice in that art while there. I Avas just thinking to myself Avhether or not to put salt in my gun to preserve the game till I got to it, Avhen in front of me about twenty yards appeared a large black, shaggy bear. He looked like a mountain. Recovering myself, I started to load my gun as fast as my trembling hand would permit, when I discovered I had no more lead left, for it Avas an old muzzle-loading rifle. I broke out in a cold sweat and my knees knocked together. I could not run for he Avould catch me. The big ugly f'eflow started to come after me. When the dog saAV him he let forth the most terrible howls and started doAvn the trail as fast as his little legs could go. The beads of sAveat ran off my forehead, fell on the snow and froze immediately. An inspiration seized me. I picked up two or three of the frozen beads, rammed them into my gun and shot just as the bear Avas about to spring upon me. He died of water on the brain. RAYMOND D. SMITH, 46.

EAST HIGH SOCIETY COLUMN

HE Senior Formal, which was held at Anderson's Dancing Acad­ emy, Thursday evening, March 5th, was a very pretentious affair. T The halls were decorated with bowls of yellow daffodils tied with ribbons of royal blue, thus carrying out the school colors. The dance opened with a grand march led by Mr. William Dunbar, President, and Miss Josephine Burke, Vice-President of the Class. For twenty minutes three hundred and fifty guests Avound in and out among the gaily deco­ rated glass columns, finally coming together near the platform AA'here Mr. Anderson awaited them. Mr. Anderson announced that the neyv dances would be allowed and then announced the etiquette for the evening, which the guests were asked to observe. The programs, con­ sisting of blue suede card-cases with a raised gold "E" made very dainty souvenirs. Punch was served in the alcoves until the sixth dance when the guests were invited upstairs to a smaller room, where ice cream and cake were served. The room was decorated with flags and pennants, while the easy chairs with their inviting piifows caused many couples to overlook several dances entirely. The official chaperons Avere Miss Black, Miss Peters, Mr. Reed and Mr. Findley. Miss Adams was gowned in black lace OA^er Avhite satin, Miss San­ derson in blue charmeuse, and Miss Budde in brown satin. Miss Peter's dress was of green velvet, Miss Black's was of chiffon over yelloAV, and Miss Regal's of black shadoAv lace over burnt orange. Among the stunning costumes observed as the guests Avhirled along was Miss Winifred Bishop's. The dress was made of Avhite satin, Avith trimmings of brown fur and corsage of Ward roses and lilies of the val­ ley. Miss Marion Manning appeared in a dress of the sheerest AAdiite lace, Miss Eleanor Farnham in pink taffeta and Miss Helen Davis Avas a symphony in yellow with shadoAv lace. Miss Mildred Repp's dress Avas made of pink taffeta, fashioned in minaret tunics Avith a corsage bou­ quet of pink sweet peas and lilies of the valley. Miss Felicia Lippitt wore a dress of blue brocaded sat'n and Miss Hilinda Llewellyn was in accordion pleated chiffon over pink crepe de chine, with trimmings of fur and shadow lace. She carried a corsage of violets and lilies of the valley. It has been rumored that the teachers' views on the new dances have changed favorably since they have seen them danced. The music was furnished by Johnson's Orchestra and the dancing continued with­ out interruption until twelve o'clock, Avhen the "home waltz" announced the close of the evening's festivity.

MAKING A CAMP REFRIGERATOR

AST summer I Avas out camping with a company of ten girls and two chaperons. The first day of our stay it became eA'ident that L Ave needed a refrigerator. The milk soured in a short time and the butter became so soft that Ave had to dip it up Avith spoons. Ice was an impossibility and so another girl and I set about making some sort of contrivance in Avhich to keep things cool. We made it in one day, while the others Avere on a tramp through the Avoods. The first thing Ave did Avas to find a suitable place, cool, and prefer­ ably with running water. A small stream floAved at one side of our camp, and Ave sought a place near the bank to put our box. At last Ave found an ideal spot. There was a small opening in the bank not unlike a cave, and from this there entered the larger stream, a small underground brook of clear, cold water. The bank extended out over the opening, thus shad­ ing it, and the branches of several large Avillows which grew on the bank hung over into the Avater. As an additional advantage, it Avas only a few steps from the camp. Then we gathered up our materials. They were: Four strong stakes about three feet long, two flat sticks two and one-half feet long, one box, two and one-half feet by nine inches and about fifteen inches high, as many nails and tools as Ave could find, and some small brass hooks, such as are used for hanging up cups in a cupboard. All these articles Ave found within the boundary lines of our own camp. The little brass hooks, Avhich we found so useful later in making our ice­ box, had been thrown in by mistake in the confusion of packing. Then I waded out into the AA'ater to the place where the little brook met the larger stream, and there I drove the four stakes into the mud until each was about a foot high, making the distances between them the same as the dimensions of the box. Then I nailed on the cross- pieces. The next thing to do Avas to get the box ready. We made as many holes in the sides of the box as we could, and then constructed a rough door with leather hinges. In this, too, Ave made holes. The idea AA'^as to have the cold water of the brook running through the box. Then we took the little brass hooks and screwed them into the top of the box. As I had done the Avork in the Avater and Avas used to it, I carried the box out and nailed it securely to the cross-pieces, which I had nailed before to the stakes. It was now finished, but had to be sunk into the water. To do this we piled heavy stones on the top of the box. In a short time it had sunk into the AA-atcr and when the surface of the water came almost half way up the side of the box we took off the stones and it was completed. All that remained to be done Avas to fill the box. We put the milk and butter into air-tight buckets which we had brought with us and hung them on the hooks. The next day, Avith the help of three of the other girls, Ave made a sort of platform in front of the box and a ladder stairway up the bank, so that Ave Avould not have to wade out to the box. When Ave had finished the work we were verjr proud of it, and the others praised it highly. It Avas certainly not beautiful, but it was very practical, and that was what the circumstances demanded. Our reward from the others was exemption from dishwashing during the stay and Ave accepted the reward gladly.

THE KETCHUP MAN

A True Story of a Child's Imagination

N IMAGINATIVE child can spin longer yarns than a sailor. If little brother Bob Avants to tell you a story of his imagination, A don't discourage him. If you listen patiently, you may hear something like this: Little Billy said: "What kind of a story shall I tell you? A really truly story or one I make up." "Make up one," said Uncle Jimmy. Thereupon Billy seated himself in a large rocking chair, folded his arms and in a serious manner began. "Once upon a time there was a man who liked ketchup. He just foved ketchup. He put it on everything; it didn't matter Avhat. He ate so much ketchup that one of his arms fell off. He kept on eatin' an' eatin' an' eatin' ketchup just the same. And finally the other arms fell off too. "He felt real bad about it. But he kept on eatin' an' eatin' an' eatin' ketchup till one of his legs fell off. Even then he didn't stop eatin' ketchup and he ate ketchup so much that finally his other leg fell off. "He felt awful bad about his legs fallin' off, but just kept on eatin' an' eatin' an' eatin' ketchup. And one day his head fell off an' then he did get awfuf scared, nearly scared to death. He ran to the doctor's an' cried, '0, doctor, what is the matter Avith me?' An' the doctor looked him right straight in the eye an' said: 'You've been eatin' too much ketchup, Mr. Man!

GOOD MANNERS WHILE SHOPPING JANET F. AGNEW, 45

T IS surprising to note IIOAV many seemingly well-bred people exhibit a shocking lack of good manners while shopping. Let us go on an I imaginary shopping tour and observe the manners of our felloAv- shoppers—and of ourselves. We board our car. Dear me, what a crowd, and what unutterably rude people! Our thoughts grow more and more uncharitable as our hats glide down over our eyes and a heavy woman settles upon our pet corns. Passengers really ought to be more courteous. And what of oursehes? See, your umbrella is poking the person next you, and my feather is tickling that man's nose. Surely it is not good breeding to criticize others for things which Ave, too, are guilty of. In future shopping trips, then, we will Avear feather- less hats, keep our umbrellas and parcels to ourselves, and endure in silence and with what patience Ave may, the tortures of a crowded car. Perhaps hats and umbrellas are not included in "good manners," but they certainly aggravate bad manners in the form of impatient re­ marks and angry glares. The downtown streets are likewise crowded. Everyone is hurrying, and everyone, it seems, is going in a different direction. The confusion would be lessened if pedestrians would ob­ serve the law of the road which traffic must follow, namely, always to keep to the right. Do not rush like a football tackle at the offending mass of shoppers blocking your path. We won't reach our destination any the sooner, but Ave will leave a train of angry maidens and sputter­ ing matrons in our wake. The department stores are no improvement on the car or the side­ walk. We expect to be somewhat mangled in the fray, but let us be philosophical and try, above all things, to keep our temper. One of the most trying persons to meet in a crowded store is the complacent woman who sails serenely doAvn the aisle, not heeding the havoc she causes among small and correspondingly unsteady children. She is not "out of temper." Indeed, she is in a very good humor. She would be truly amazed to hear that she Avas acting impolitely. Ah, there is a bargain sale. The rude behavior of women at these sales is notorious, and although popular ridicule exaggerates conditions, nevertheless be it said to the everlasting shame of womankind that it is by no means groundless. These women are unconsciously disproving any claim to the word "lady." A lady would not snatch an article from another's grasp, or turn things upside down on the general principle that the best goods are at the bottom. It is a peculiar fact that many women who weep at sight of a thin horse and sigh to adopt every homeless dog they see, nevertheless re­ gard the girl behind the counter as a comrenient machine. As we wait for our turn at the silk counter, we are idly interested in the exacting disposition of a customer. She Avants silk for a gown, and views criti­ cally the twenty or more bolts of fabrics brought out for her considera­ tion. She is looking for something light and thin, but not too thin; and she prefers a dainty, youthful shade, not girlish, of course, but some­ thing fresh and bright. Oh, no! not as gaudy as these pieces. Just a little more subdued, you knoAv; but, dear me, all of those last are quite too colorless. The lady is sure they must have a piece of goods to her liking in stock. Won't the girl please look again? The woman's child­ ish fretfulness is almost amusing. But it is afternoon. The sales-girl has lifted heavy bolts of silk and catered to the whims of just such cus­ tomers as this one all day long; she, at least, is not amused. If madam would make use of her drawing-room manners on a shopping trip, how much help she might give to her less fortunate sisters! Meanwhile, six

or seven customers wait Avith groAving impatience, thinking unkind thoughts about the woman, the clerk, and humanity in general. And now, let us in charity go home. It is not right for those Avho can leave early to stay until the shops close. The majority of business men and those employed in stores or factories must go home at about the same hour. They are presumably tired, and should have the chance to get a seat. I am sorry to say that many men who Avould eagerly offer a well-dressed woman a seat would allow a shabby girl, weary from her work in shop or factory, to stand. The Avell-dressed and com­ fortable shoppers should not clog the six o'clock traffic. u

MY LIFE

WAS born in London, England, in the year 1896. Vast as London is, the whole, immense population were thrilled and electrified when I my appearance was announced. Early in life I exhibited my almost painfully keen powers of obserA'ation. I was in Rome at the time, and although only three years old, my keen eyes missed nothing. We had been to see the Pope descend from the Vatican to St. Peter's, and as soon as I saw him, I cried, in a loud voice, "What does that man wear skirts for?" But as I grew older, my observation grew keener, and also I began to exhibit an alarming tendency to speak everything I thought. I Avas about ten years old when the next proof of my powers was given. We were in New York and were giving a dinner party to some friends, Among the guests was a lady Avhom I had known for a long time and whose hair had always been white. But tonight it was a dark golden brown. With my usual sense of the fitness of things, I waited till all were quiet, then, fixing my eyes earnestly upon the lady, I said, in clear, cold tones, "Why, Mrs. Blank, what have you done to your hair?" When I was twelve years old we came to Cleveland, and I Avas sent to Bolton School. Although the first year passed in comparative quiet, the beginning of the second once more found me playing the keen, plain-spoken heroine. I desired, with a fervent heart, to change my room-teacher, and when my present room-teacher asked me why, I looked at her sweetly and answered firmly, "I have never had a teacher I wanted yet." My freshman year at East was uneventful. I saw many, many queer things, but none that I thought should be made public. But in my junior year I was obliged to write a descriptive theme of some per­ son. In sheer despair I told my teacher I did not know whom to de­ scribe. She said very graciously and generously, "You may describe me." I hesitated, trying to think of an excuse, but my habit of truth- fullness cried out and would not be denied, and I said, "Oh, no; I must have a face Avith something in it." At present, I am a senior, and while my eyes are still wondrously keen, I am keeping my many observations to myself, for I find that I have often surprised and even pained the faculty by my frankness. I do not know what the future holds for me. I am a Suffragette now, al­ though I have had Mr. Knight for my history teacher for a year. I think I shall still be a Suffragette, because she at least is privileged to give her opinion. DOROTHY STANLEY, 45

RINK SKATING INCE the cold Aveather is too fickle to afford outdoor skating for more than a day ortwo at a time, Ave perforce hike ourselves to the S artificial ice palace when we Avant to skate. To the novice at rink skating, the experience is decidedly thrilling, unpleasantly so. Instead of the freedom of the open pond, he finds himself in a veritable whirlpool of gliders. If he attempts to cut across to the middle he Avill inevitably be "spilled," and his only recourse is to folloAV the trend of the CTOAVCI. If he doesn't go fast enough he is helped along by a gentle (?) poke in the back, and if he speeds unduly, he Avill be subjected to a lecture from a large, uncompromising instruc­ tor, Ayho Avill unkindly assist him from the" rink if he persists. The center would be a peaceful oasis were it not for the fact that a number of skillful and near skillful fancy skaters flourish sharp steel blades in uncomfortable proximity to the refuge. The one drawback in rink skating is, that there are too many corners to be turned. One is continually kept in the "X" condition, namely, that of the right foot crossed in front of the left. Too add to the hilarity a band of cosmopoli­ tan artists render last year's popular songs. Need I say, Familiarity breeds contempt. EDNA RICHARDS, 45.

TEN YEARS HENCE FTER graduating from college I was obliged to spend a number of years at my father's New York office, and in this way I lost A track of many of my high school friends. HoAvever, I had read Ashley Van Duzer's latest book on "How to Act in Society," and found that it was Van through and through. ^ One day last fall, after my return to the city of Cleveland, I boarded a Euclid Avenue car and much to my surprise met Grace Schuch. Dear Grace, she looked almost the same but just a speck older. After the usual salutation, Ave started to chat. She told me that she was playing the piano in the Opera House Orchestra, and was simply de­ lighted with her work. She also informed me that Bill Dunbar, the president of our class at East High, had graduated from Cornell with honors in the architectural course and was now engaged in draAving the plans for Cleveland's new Union Depot. "And, you know," she went on, "Eugene Krauss is editor-in-chief of 'Krauss' Monthly.' " At this point in our conversation the conductor called out 105th Street and Grace bid me good-bye and hurried out. I rode out cmite a distance farther, then got off the car and started to look for the home of a college chum of mine whom I had promised to visit on my return to the city. I could not find the house, but saAV a school farther down the street and I made up my mind to go in and in­ quire about my friend. I reached the school, went in and knocked at the first door I came to. You couldn't imagine my surprise when Josephine Burke opened the door. When both of us regained our com­ posure, she told me that she had been teaching kindergarten for almost three years. "Have you seen Norma Witt and Gladys Welch lately?" she in­ quired. I told her I had not. "Well, both of them have been married for about five years. They are very happy." I was delighted to hear this and also to learn that Olive Walther Avas head singing teacher in the public schools. I was also told that Earl Barnes was conducting a dancing academy and was doing a splendid business, and that the Senior dance of East High Avas aiways held there. After she promised to come to see me, we parted and I started home. After I boarded the car, a young woman came in and looked at me rather peculiarly. I recognized her as Ethel Hall. She told me that after leaving college, she had taken up social settlement Avork and Avas all bound up in her duties. She asked me if I had heard Avhat hap­ pened to Marion Manning. Upon my answer of "No," she said, "Well, you remember how thin she was? Well, she married the fat man in Ringling Brothers' circus!" Horrors! This was the worst yet. Ethel left the car and I was left to myself to think things over, but before long I Avas interrupted by hearing the number of my street called. I jumped up and, half dreaming, alighted. I bought a paper from the newsboy at the corner of the street and started home. When I arrived there I settled down to read the latest news. On the first page dash­ ing headlines stared back at me. I read: "Noted judge stumps coun­ try in Woman Suffrage Cause." And who do you suppose the judge was? Charley Henry! I then turned to the editorial page and saAV the words, "Edited by Helen Davis." So Helen was Mrs. Maxwell's succes­ sor. On the sporting page I read where Coach Sinderman's huskies from Yale were expected to Avalk all over poor Harvard. You see, Henry was head coach of the blue and white team. There was an arti­ cle oil the financial page about the United States Treasury, and it Avas signed by Milton Grossman, Secretary of the Treasury. On the page about "shows of the week" f read where Wallace Young, the Avorthy

' In the society column I read where Beatrice Albin had announced her engagement to a prominent society man amid great festivities and that Nella Masten had entertained the Federation of Women at a fashion­ able tea. I laid aside the paper, closed my eyes and let my thoughts travel back to that dear old school on S2nd Street, where AVC all greAv up together, and thought of the many happy days Ave spent there, and, half asleep, I Avished they Avere back again." And then, Avith the dear old strains of "Do It for East High" floating through my memory, I fell asleep. NORA WARD, 44.

THE LITTLE TIN GOD, CALLED LUCK LITTLE god, called Luck, sat in the temple of Chance. With him in the temple were the gods of Stealing, BorroAAdng and A Begging, the silver goddess Work, and directly opposite Luck, the golden god of Opportunity. NOAV this temple was a much-fre­ quented place, since the gods in it represented the Avays of progressing in life. It was situated on the bank of that deep and sfow-moving river, Fate. The steps to the main entrance Avere of the finest marble, C0Arered with a carpet of velvet, and were strewn with roses. The guard at this gate was named High-born. The other of the tAvo entrances Avas guarcled by a worn, tired-looking man called Vulgar. This gateway was for the commons and what decoration there Avas, Avas of simply- carved stone. The steps leading up to it were worn smooth bjr the countless number of feet traversing it each day. These doorways opened into a large hall, in the corners of which were the shrines of the gods. The light in the hall Avas dim because of the scarcity of openings. In one corner, near the entrance of the high-born, was the altar of the three gods, Begging, Borrowing and Stealing. Their altar Avas of stone decorated with marble to take away the bareness. Begging was represented as an old man, pretending to be crippled, BorroAving, as a horrible, twisted dragon-like creature with a thousand arms, AAdiile Stealing was a figure of the devil. The multitude worshiping these, AA'as composed of the high-born with here and there a slinking, poverty- stricken creature. From her corner the silver goddess Work looked with scornful eyes upon the three gods just described. But alas! her altar was strangely deserted and her silver robes tarnished from lack of attention. Opportunity smiled on Work from his corner. He sparkled with gold and diamonds and those worshipping wrere indeed of the poorer class. But our little Luck! What attention he received! His shimmer­ ing brass throne was polished each day, his fires blazed at all times and the tin plates before him were heaped up with coin. But—he was made of tin. He was a fat, sly-looking creature with the head of a baboon and a man's body. Cross-legged on his throne and with his long thin hands folded behind his head, he smiled. And oh! his smile Avas eternal. Unlike Work, he was worshipped each day by multitudes. Rich and poor alike, the high and the lowly came in droves to boAV themselves before him. So it was then and so it is now! Great men and small men, rich men and poor men all pay homage to Luck! What do they not at­ tribute to Luck? And if Luck fails to bring them the desired fame and glory, they give not a thought to Work and Opportunity, but die poor, insignificant and unknown. JUNE AGATE, 45.

EAST HIGH

Of all the points the compass shoAvs, I dearly like the East, For there the cherished High School stands, On which my memories feast.

There wild flats grow, and sophomores SIOAV, Juniors and Seniors cool. So, day and night, my fancy's flight Is ever at this school. I see her in the freshman lads, Who study in the car, As in the college athlete, who Was last year our bright star.

0! students of this famous school, Work on,—strive to attain— That present glory may surpass The fame her past could gain. OLIVE REIF, 44.

NOAV learn these simple rules of mine, And you surely can't go wrong; And now run to your German class— There goes the bell—Ding-dong!

PLEASANT RECOLLECTIONS HEN I was about eight years old, I lived across the street from a large vacant field. Running through the center Avas a little W brook, and up in one corner was a spring. The field was not used for anything except as a pasture for one harmless COAV. There were several large trees in the field, and it Avas a very nice place to play. I always liked to read, and even at this age, I had read a good many books. Among the books which we had at home, Avas an old copy of "Barnes's United States History." I often read parts of this, and Avhen I read about the Puritans who came to America and settled, I was filled with a longing to go and settle in a new land. "Well," said my mother, "why don't you and Jutia (my younger sister) go over and get Edna (my best friend) and all of you go over and play at being Puritans, in the field?" We immediately did so, and soon started for America. We had an old tub for our ship, although it did not sail on the water, as it was too big to put into the brook. We could not get into the boat because, when we had put in some old broken dishes and some bottles, our ship Avas filled. As soon as we landed we divided the dishes and bottles, each starting out to find a home. We were to be three young women Avho had come to America to have our own religion. We were not going to live together because each one wanted her own house. When Ave had selected our homes, we got some bricks and tried to make a fireplace. We were not al­ lowed to play with fire, but Ave gathered some sticks, and laid them on the bricks and pretended that Ave had a fire. We mixed up "messes" of weeds and pretended we cooked and ate them. We made mud pies, which Ave thought very pretty, but I hope no Puritan ever had to eat such "stuff." We had our church on the top of the hill. It Avas made of one log on which we sat very still for about five minutes and then church Avas over. We wore caps made of paper sacks, with the fronts turned back for flaps. We always tried to make them look as much as possible like the pictures which we had seen. The old COAV was a tribe of Indians and when she came too near us, we took big sticks for guns and had a war, until we dro\/e her away. I always enjoyed playing this game more than any other.

NOBLESSE OBLIGE **\ A /HAT is it that makes Margaret Danforth so popular?" thought yy Jufia with a sigh. "Everything just seems to come to her without any visible effort on her part. She has held nearly every office in school that it is possible to hold, and some of us poor souls never take part in anything." This did seem to be the truth of the matter. Margaret's family was wealthy and she had never wanted for anything; so it only seemed nat­ ural when she came to high school to have everything fall right into her hands. She received invitations right and left, and favors were show­ ered upon her from all sides. Julia was liked by her own special friends, but not universally as Margaret was. So she determined to ob­ serve Margaret whenever an opportunity presented itself and to dis­ cover, if she could, the secret of her popularity. Both girls attended the Riverside High School. As it Avas the only high school the thriving little town boasted of, it was thronged with stu­ dents. But the farge numbers only made the honors and offices more desirable in Julia's eyes. The next day Julia tried to keep as near Margaret as she could. She did not have to Avait long for an opportunity to present itself. Myr­ tle Snyder came rushing up to Margaret, bewailing that one of the girls Avho was to take part in the concert that evening had taken sick and was unable to appear. Myrtle begged Margaret to save them by play­ ing a piano solo and Julia waited in suspense for Margaret's ansAver. It came without delay. "Why, of course I'll help you out, Myrtle. I'm so sorry Miss Greeneway is sick. I may choose my OAvn composition, may I not?" Myrtle replied in the affirmative, uttering volumes of thanks also and went on her way with a sigh of relief. Later on in the day, Julia overheard Mr. Thompson, the principal explaining to Margaret that they were going to start a fund for one of the poorer students, who had been in an accident. He asked Margaret to take charge of it, and for a second time Julia heard her quick and gracious answer. And so it went on all through that week. Julia's eyes were opened She had discovered the secret of Margaret's popularity, but she had also discovered the responsibilities which went Avith it/ Margaret Avas asked to do many hard tasks because he Avho asked her knew that he would not be refused. It was the ready acceptance of these harder tasks that Avon for her the many invitations for pleasure. MILDRED REPP, 'M. —181— SHORT STORIES

HOW BILLY EARNED HIS FIRST MONEY ILLY lived with his mother, in a crowded tenement in the loAver part of New York city. His father Avas dead, and his mother's B only way of making money was by making shirts for a large store in the city. Billy was only six years old, but he did not like to see his mother do all the work for their support. One day when Billy was passing through the streets, he saAV a boy, not much taller than lie was, selling papers. An idea struck Billy's mind, and he ran all the way home. "Oh, mother!" he cried, when he reached home, "I saAV a boy, Avho was no larger than I am, selling papers, and I Avant to sell papers and make some money, so you Avon't have to work so hard." "My, no, Billy boy," said his mother, Avho Avas busy making a shirt, "I don't want you to go out and Avork. You are too young. Don't worry about my working, because I'm used to it. Now, go and play, and don't think any more about it." But Billy was determined, and finally his mother said, "All right; I will let you sell papers, if you will not go too far from the tenement." Billy agreed, and the next morning he trudged out Avith a resolute air, and fifty cents held tightly in his chubby fist. He Avas determined to succeed, and he asked the first newsboy he saw, to show him where the nearest news-stand was. After he bought a stock of fifty papers, he placed himself on the corner of the street, to sell them. Business was not very good, and he had sold only fifteen papers, when another newsboy, who looked like a bully, strode up to him and said, "Go on, and git off my corner, wiil you. If you won't, it wiil be the worst for you." Billy hesitated, but finally he reluctantly picked up his papers and moved on to the next corner, where there Avas nobody to molest him. Here, it seemed to Billy, was a gold mine, for soon he had disposed of all his papers, and had bought some more. And now Billy was firmly established as a newsboy. Every day for the rest of that week, he sold his papers, and by the end of the Aveek he had made three dollars. It Avas a happy boy who kissed his mother good night on Saturday, and his last Avords before he fell asleep were, "Soon I Avill be a millionaire, won't I, Mother?" CHARLES KELLER, 48

A BICYCLE TRIP

N August 12, 1913, my brother and I began a bicycle trip across the state of Ohio. The route was: From Cleveland to Medina, O to Wellington, to Ashland, to Mansfield, to Columbus, to Chilli- cothe, to Portsmouth and up the river to fronton, the end of our jour­ ney. The distance Avas three hundred sixty-five and one-half miles by my cyclometer. The journey took eight days, of which five and one- half were spent upon the road. We had eight dollars and thirty-tAVO cents in our pockets and spent but two dollars and twenty-two cents on the entire trip. The time of departure Avas 5:30 o'clock Tuesday morning. A light rain fell before Ave started and settled the dust. My brother set the pace at about ten miles per hour. We had ex­ cellent paved roads to Medina. At seven o'clock we passed Kamm's Corners and at nine, the then uncompleted Baldwin-Wallace College at Berea. After a short rest in the Public Square we started towards Medina and arrived in town at twelve-twenty o'clock. We ate our din­ ner in the Public Square and at one-fifteen we headed towards Welling­ ton. The sun was noA\' high in the sky and Ave sweated fike two toilers in Hades. The distance between Medina and Wellington is nineteen and live-tenths miles road measure, of Avhich there are nineteen and five-tenths miies of deep sand. We walked most of the distance. Arriving at Wellington at four-fifteen in the afternoon Ave bought our first meal. (Our dinner was packed by Mother.) This "supper" consisted of a loaf of bread and a jar of jam each. We sat on a bench in the Public Square—every A'illage on the route had a public square- and ate our supper. At five o'clock we left for Ashland. We covered five miles of excellent country pike and when in Huntington township my brother had trouble with his baggage carrier and we were forced to stop. A farmer, Mr. Hull by name, readily gave us permission to sleep in his barn. It was five-fifteen o'clock but Ave were tired and "hit the hay" in reality. I did not sleep much, for a half-wild colt which was in the barn, kicked and whinnied most of the night. Wednesday morn­ ing Ave were given our breakfast by the kind-hearted Mr. Hull and by seven o'clock were again on our way. We arrived in Ashland at eleven-forty-five. We stayed a clay and a half Avith friends there. Then on Friday, August 15, Ave left for Mans­ field, which is in a valley, surrounded by hills. We had our dinner

here. It was composed of more bread and jam. Again we dined in the Public Square. We Avere now ninety-six and four-tenths miles from Cleveland. By night we made Fredericks town and slept in a hotel. Two Aveeks later the town was wiped out by fire. We now began to ar­ rive in the territory swept by the floods of March and were compelled to ford many streams because the bridges had not been rebuilt. Satur­ day evening we arrived in Columbus and Avent out Broad street to a

48 SHORT STORIES down a hill and it was almost dark. The road was very rough and dan­ gerous. On one side were the mountains rising almost perpendicular and on the other side was a precipice. We had our heads bent IOAV SO as to cut the Avind and did not see an auto which was speeding up the hill. The result Avas that I made a sharp turn to avoid a collision and in so doing Avent over the precipice. My fall was broken by some bushes and outside of a sprained wrist and a few scratches I Avas not hurt. My brother passed the auto in safety. We were now soaked to the skin. We stayed at a farmhouse over night and each paid 25 cents for bed and breakfast. During the evening Ave were entertained the same as if in the city by songs and music. The southern Ohio farmers are well-to-do and many of them OAAOI their autos and player-pianos. Tuesday morn the rain had dried up and we left Waverly without a fight. Ironton Avas now fifty-eight miles away. At noon we entered Portsmouth and caught sight of the beautiful Ohio River. We ate our dinner in Riverside Park and saw the first pay-enter cars we had seen since leaving Cleveland. Our dinner this time consisted of breakfast rolls and a glass of Ohio River mud. You who think Cleveland's water is bad had better take a drink of Ohio River bacteria and then kick. By five-thirty o'clock we arrived in Ironton. Now came the greatest surprise of all. We had written postcards back to Cleveland at every stopping place saying that we wished Father and Mother were with us to enjoy the trip or at least could meet us at the end of our journey. To our great surprise and joy Mother was out working with the floAvers when we arrived and did not see us until I rode up beside her and said, "Mother, here we are." With a cry of surprise she looked up and then nearly squeezed us to death. We received a hearty welcome from Grandmother and Uncle and it was several days before the neighbors got over Avondering what was the cause of the demonstration. The trip was now ended but will never be forgotten. It was worth more to us than any other two trips we haA'e taken at thirty times the price. The greatest lesson we learned was to rely upon ourselves. We had to pick our own roads and hunt our own beds, besides taking the risk of accident, sickness and robbery. Also Ave received many lessons in nature, human nature, farm life, village life and many other things. I think a trip of this kind would do any "boy good. It would help him in learning to depend upon himself, to develop his strength, will poAver, manhood, and to broaden his views of the world and its inhabitants. CHAS. F. ST. JOHN, JR., '15.

As I had been conscientiously avoiding that corner of the paper for about tAvo years, I glanced up with idle curiosity at the occupant of the Avagon. A young fellow of about eighteen Avas reclining at ease on the driver's seat. He was smoking a cigar, and with an eye to appearances, adjusting an enor­ mous diamond stickpin in a lavender tie. His derby, which was much the Avorse for wear, Avas perched over one ear. He had on a soiled Avhite sweater coat, and his corduroy trousers were turned up to dis­ close his gaily colored socks. On seeing me, he called and said, " 'Lo, kid; school out? I should worry about hustling up with 'Married Life,' " and, grinning at his own joke, he rode away.

AN UNEXPECTED VACATION

STOOD before the fatal door. In a moment I AVOUICI have to open this door and become the cynosure of all the eyes, including the I stern optics of my teacher. For you must knoAv, I was seven min­ utes late! It Avas like plunging into an abyss, but Avhat must be, must. At last I summoned enough determination to open the door, and walked in Avith a feigned expression of composure, but Avith the inAvard con­ sciousness of a guilty criminal. I was prepared for doom to fall, Avhen what was my astonishment and surprise, at the unexpected scene Avhich now met my gaze. There, instead of the usual silence and order maintained, all was apparent confusion. My classmates Avere assembled in a group, laughing and talking, in what I thought was utter disregard of all the rules and regu­ lations which we are subjected to. I AA'ondered at their audacity and how they had contrived to rid themselves of the presence of the teacher, and had they used violence upon his person, or else what meant this confusion and disorder. Laughing at my apparent astonishment, my classmates proceeded to inform me, that contrary to my fears, anarchy had not broken loose, and that laAV and order still prevailed over this grand and glorious in­ stitution of East High School. They further informed me that, OAA'ing to quite a severe little (?) snoAA'storm, which we had the previous even­ ing, there probably would be no school that day. It was then I realized that all the mental anguish I had experi­ enced on the other side of that door had been for naught. SAMUEL BAND, 45.

CAESAR AND THE SOPH

The Soph'more Avas studying late in his room, For a hard test in Caesar was coming full soon; But though hard did he study, naught entered his head, And thought of the morroAv made his heart feel like lead. Then, succumbing to Aveariness, his eyelids did close, And shortly before him a dread vision rose. "Julius Caesar am I," to the Soph'more it said. "Why, sir," the boy answered, "I thought you were dead." "Nay, son, 'tis not so," the Roman replied, " 'TAvas a rumour that in our great Forum I died." Then from the boy's table a book he picked up, And exclaimed, " 'TAvas B. C. Avhen this thing I mixed up." "I wish you'd not done it," the Soph sadly said, "For try as I do, it my mind hasn't fed." "Well, my boy, give it here, and I'll fix it for you," And he changed it to English with pencil of blue.

But all fond dreams must end, as of course you all know, And then the Soph woke; a bright happy glow Spread over his face; to his desk then he flew, Translation Avas none made by pencil of blue!

RS. ALTDORFER was our washerwoman. She had labored over our wash-tubs for six months, but during all that time she had M never left the house without tefling, in broken phrases, some woeful tale about her man. "If it was not for that old whiskey, I wouldn't have to be here," she used to say. But early one morning her little girl came to tell us that the father Avas dead, and the mother could not wash for us that week. But in due time Mrs. Altdorfer came back to us, arrayed in deep mourning. "Now," she said, "I get along better since my man died. I made quite a bit of money on him. I sold him to a medical college and just look at my new dress once. It's the first new one I've had since I stood up for my sister." But one morning two months later Mrs. Altdorfer came Avith a very broad smile on her face. She sang as she washed and turned the wringer, and every once in a while she smiled quietly and her lips moved convulstyely. As she was about to go she said, in a low tone to my mother: "I am afraid I can't wash for you folks no more. I must give up my places." "How's that?" asked my mother in a startled voice. "Well, I think I'll take another man." "The idea!" my mother ejaculated. "After afl the troubte you've had!" Then she turned her head to one side and smilingly she shrugged her shoulders and whispered: "Ja, aber er kommt dreimal und Avas kann ich machen?" HELEN MINER, 46.

HESE things have I seen from my youth, yea, from my earliest childhood have I pondered upon them. And now being in my T old age, I here set them doAvn for the instruction and direction for the young and inexperienced in their pursuit of learning and high standing. A thinking man is a rare jewel, but a "dig" is like the constant buzzing of a fly. For he that studieth shall be exalted, but he that doeth nought else should be cast out into utter darkness. Say thou not to thy teacher,"Lo, my head did so pain me that I could not study." Neither say thou, "Behold, my clock was late, and I knew it not." For she will heed thee not,—nay, of no account Avill she hold thy words, for verily she hath heard them from childhood. But say thou rather, "I acknowledge my fault. I make no excuses. But I am grieved to have done thus!" Then will she smile (?) upon thee and say to herself, "Behold, here is a rare gem!" If thy report card pleaseth thee not, go not to thy teacher with sullen countenance, demanding: "Why is it not higher?" Rather, go thou clothed in humility and say, "It grieveth me to have fallen so low! HOAV may I improve it?" For she will be quick to catch a note of re­ proof and it will vex her sore; a penitent mein worketh wonders. "Let him who thinketh that he standeth, take heed lest he fall;"— for if she discover thy confidence, she Avill be wroth; she will plot thy destruction, yea, on a seventy-four she will "flunk" thee. And seek not, my children, to aid one another, for thy good inten­ tions will be brought to bear witness against thee, and thy good deeds Avill they fling in thy teeth. To enter the office, alone, requireth valor; but she that walketh through the hall with a boy must be possessed of great courage, for her life is_as a leaf in the AA'ind. Wherefore, my children, heed my words, and folloAV my precepts! For they will lead and direct thee in the right way. But heed thou not tht idle Avords of Juniors and Seniors, for they walk in an evil way which leads to destruction! JOSEPHINE HIDY, 45.

Her hair is soft, and black, and long, Her fingers hold a fan; Her brow is AA'et with tonic, I bet, And she learns whate'er she can. She looks the whole world in the face, For she loA-es most any man. She goes on Sunday to the church, Sits in the congregation; She hears the parson pray and preach, She wears a new creation. While everybody looks at her— She makes a great sensation.

I'll tell you now a little tale, Just between you and me; It's not about a soldier bold, Nor a sailor on the sea.

It's about a boy and a girl friend of his, Who sat near each other in Latin; Whenever the teacher turned around, The boy and the girl began chattin'. Now before I proceed AArith this little ditty, A warning I wish to sound; Even though your neighbor be very pretty, Please, don't turn around. One day the teacher stood at the board Explaining a construction; But the boy and girl were whispering, And that was their destruction. For the teacher was finished before they Avere, And she turned and caught them tafking, And though they begged and pleaded much, They soon to the office Avere walking. Don't talk in class, 0 friends of mine, Take a moral from this ditty; But if you have no pretty girl friends, It's you that I do pity. JOSEPH NEWMAN, 44.

Well, this is the end of our high school course, Near the end of our school days, too; But they leave a picture, clear and strong, In a frame of gold and blue; For memory has painted these high school days In colors that never fade, And we find at the end of four happy years The love of the friends we've made.

m 0 \§\ THE KEM KID

I used to think, long, long ago, That I Avas human, don't you knoAv; But noAv I find, to my dismay, I'm nothing but a piece of clay. The head from whence arose this fuss Is but a solid, amorphous; The pencil, e'en, with which I Avrite, It is not lead but plain graphite.

My thoughts, my words I learn, also, Are nothing but a vaporous gas; I find the brain I thought so wise A liquid leaking froin the eyes.

Sodium chloride on my meat I use; and ev'rything I eat, It seems, is an ide or an ate, Forming below a precipitate. Some day, I knoAv, I'll just explode And form a compound in the road; Then bury me, unlucky boob, Within a new, clean, glass test-tube.

LUCY

Lucy was a little Flat, To whom strange thing's occurred; Although she studied very hard She didn't know a word.

Lucy in her Latin class, Thought the rest Avere slow; But when the teacher called on her, She answered, "I don't know."

In English, too, she was a shark, Her themes were very fong; But when she got her paper back 'Twaszero! What was Avrong?

She studied hard in History, too, She knew it to a dot; But when she came to write it out, The stuff she Avrote was rot.

Algebra was very hard, For her to understand; And when she got one problem right, She seemed to think it grand.

As years passed on, our Lucy grew A girl both tail and stately; But in her marks and in her mind She did not alter greatly.

Lucy didn't graduate, You can bet your boots on that; Because she didn't study hard When she was just a Flat. DONALD L. SCHEIER.

THOSE FUNNY TIKES

Raymond's Latin teacher had been explaining the difference be­ tween Active and Passive Voice. Failing to make him understand, she said: "Try this. 'The man struck the dog.' Tell me Avhat happened to the dog." "He got hit," murmured Raymond." "Big" words are a constant source of trouble to the little ones. Miss Kelly, Avishing someone to give an English derivative of the Latin mutilo, said: "Clarence Marcuson, AA'hat do you do to a desk when you mark it with a knife or pencil?" "You humiliate it," replied little Clarence. "What does interchange mean?" asked Mr. Peck. " Change inside," Avas the prompt reply. One of the class had told Miss Mutch that pedestrian is derived from the Latin word for foot. "And Avhat does pedestrian mean?" she asked. John's hand Avaved wildly. "A man that walks Avith his feet," he cried.

"They call you 'flats,' my little maid, Pray tell me why 'tis thus?" "We sure are flat," the maid replied, " 'Cause teachers sit on us."

SOME RECOLLECTIONS OF THE A-l CLASS

I remember AArhen— 1. Margaret Barker Avas excited. 2. Dorotha Finch was calm. 3. Ilva Gibbs forgot to smile. 4. Dorothy Stanley spoke slowly. 5. Dorothy Millward didn't lisp. 6. Janet Agnew wasn't a suffragette. 7. Josephine Hidy did worry over Dorothy's scrapes. 8. Julia Dangler Avas worried. 9. Anna Klein Avasn't worried. 10. Room 23 was quiet at eight o'clock, one, or any other time. Does Miss Black? 11. Room 23 Avas dismissed on time. 12. Alta Meade came early. 13. Helen Graves wasn't at the Elysium. 14. Grace Cousins was noisy. 15. Helen Ward came with unprepared lessons. 16. Elsie was seen without Hattie. 17. Henrietta was at peace with all her teachers at one time. 18. A few people in 23 didn't take French. 19. Janet Agnew hurried. 20. Wallace Harper made a mistake. 21. Arthur Knight didn't bluff his Latin. 22. William Lynch didn't blush.

IN ROOM 21 Clear and idiomatic English is expected in all examination and test papers, not only in translation, but in every exercise in which English is used. IN ROOM 22 Simplified and idiotic Finnish is to be expected in tall exams, and newspapers non modo in ponies sed etiam in every exercise in which Swedish is used.

IN ROOM 4 Clear idiotic English is to be expected of every pupil in every recita­ tion.

Mr. Eisenhauer: "How do you raise an expression to the xth power?" Pupil: "You x it." Mr. E.: "If you keep on answering that way, you will exit."

Mr. Haber (upon return of long-absent pupil) : "Happy New Year and glorious Fourth of July, William! HOAV'S the weather down in Texas?"

Miss Critchley (to Helen M.) : "Why, you stutter, even on your test-paper."

(A boy whistles in Room 8) Mr. P. "Say, will some one take that canary up to the Auditorium, and let Mr. Davis train its voice."

FOR OUR LITTLE FOLKS OF 1918 Motto—"Watch Us Grow"

A SONG OF INFANTS

Sing a song of infants/ A room full of Flats! Four and forty Freshmen, Hanging up their hats. When the school is opened, The Flats begin to play. Is not that a naughty trick To start the day that wray? JANET F. AGNEW, 45.

THREE SMALL FLATS

Three small Flats! See how they run! They run because of the tardy-bell And the teacher, who may scold them well. Can anyone have the heart to tell? "Three small Flats! JANET F. AGNEAV, 45.

CONTRARY MARY "Mary, Mary, quite contrary, HOAV do your lessons go ?" "Cases queer and themes arrear, And 'Lieder' I do not knoAv." JANET F, AGNEW, 45.

HUSH-A-BY, BABY Hush-a-by, baby, down in Room Nine. When the beil strikes, you must all form in line. When you go out, don't run through the hall, Or down Avill come baby, new books and all. Hush-a-by, hush-a-by, nothing to fear; Hush-a-by, baby, Miss Kelly is near.

MIS-GUIDED NELLIE

Nellie had a "friendly guide," Its name you doubtless know; And everywhere that Nellie went, That "guide" was sure to go. It went to school with her one day, Where honor all did rule:— Though Freshmen still do laugh and play, Poor Nellie's left our school. JANET F. AGNEAV, 45.

Mr. F.: "Charles, where is the test-paper your father was to sign?" Charles: "I gave it to him and he's gone away with it." Mr. F.: "Charles, you can't tell me your father so cherishes that paper of yours as to take it with him on a trip!"

W. H. rises to recite. Miss H.: "Sit down!" W. H.: "How can we recite? You make us sit down, before we stand up." Mr. Beman: "You would guess your way into Heaven, Henrietta." Henrietta: "Maybe I can get in without guessing." Flat, (to Teacher) : "Will you please give me a permit, so I can ride up in the elevator?" Teacher: "Julius, keep quiet. The whole room is laughing at you." J. G. (innocently) : "They don't have to laugh at me." Frau G.: "Why is Gertrude like that? Don't you know? Be­ cause she is the daughter of her father."

Failed to understand. Lack of interest, t/nexpected company. ;Vot prepared, /licked out.

Mr. Lothman: Of course, UOAV, Ave don't wish the team to lose heart (Hart). Miss Seaton (explaining her Christmas vacation trip to the class) : "At 12:30 I left for Cincinnati and from there I Avent down to the right hand corner of this map." In Botany: "What is a cutting?" "The name of an automobile." Dunbar (in Botany) : "Then place it in a box Avith sides."

Mr. Raish: "Louie, I'll send you to the office and tell Mr. Findley that you don't know anything and I haven't any brains to lend you." (In Room 8) : E. M. discovers a circle Avhose centre is outside.

ONE MORNING

One misty, moisty morning, When cloudy was the weather, We forgot our English themes, My friend and I together. She began to ruminate, And I began to grin; "Oh, hoAV did we do it, and Avhy did we do it? This never must happen again!" J. F. A.

Mr. Findley, (reading a sight translation from French): "A young man took—a fot of dashes—to make his portrait." He must have been a cubist.

HOW IT STARTED

She looked around to see if we Had looked around to see if she Had looked around to see if Ave Were looking back at her.

Miss Black (giving her Trig, class a delinquent notice) : "The Seniors will sit in their accustomed places in the auditorium today; those who can sing will please sit behind them!"

Child: "Mother, you used to go to high school, didn't you?" Mother: "Certainly." Child: "Did you go to East High?" Mother: "No; I went to Central High." Child: "Oh, I didn't know Central Avas as old as that."

Heard in Room 12: "And all the people had to leave because the Lord wanted the land!"

Pupil (reading, in Room 7) : "The orphans cried, the 'windows' wailed aloud."

In French Class: "He went to sleep nimbly—" Horrors! I wonder IIOAV he did it or IIOAV he felt the next morning.

F. Lippitt (in Room 19) : "The maids carried away her collapsible limbs."

Mr. Eisenhauer: "Sam, can you Avrite a radical sign?" Sam: "No, sir; but I can draw one."

Mr. Smith (to pupil): "So you think Godfrey Cass was sorry he got married?" (Voice from middle of room): "Most all men are."

In Newman's studio: D. Stanley (vehemently): "Well, I won't." Friend: '"Won't what?" D. S.: "Why, the girls Avant me to go to a ca-cat-er-casfon'a, for lunch. Not much."

Notice from the office: "Beware of slamming doors." (Does this mean to keep away from them so that you won't get hurt?)

LUNCH TIME

'Tis lunch time and in the yard you see Mildred, Helen, May and Bee, With arms around each other's Avaist, Each bidding her neighbor to make haste, And as they hurry along the yard, Talking excitedly and very hard, You wonder Avhat it is they see To make them AA'alk so rapidly. 'Tis Lillian and Dorothy, don't you know, For you find it happens quite often just so, That they are excited at Avhat they see, For D.it has a big bag of chocolate candy. HILINDA LLEWELLYN. 44.

DONTS FOR FLATS

Run through the halls; you'll be laughed at. Talk in the auditorium; it's impolite. Go to class without your lesson; it's dangerous. DON'T.. Skip school; you may be caught. Destroy the ink corks; they're expensive. Accidentally lose papers; you'll have to find them. Write notes about your teachers; they always find them. Talk in the library. "Silence is Golden."

-221- JOKES

Agitated Victim (undergoing oral examination in Oratory) : "And we here highly resolve that this nation shall not haA-e died in vain; that this nation under God shall take a new lease on freedom!" Miss O'Grady (giving assignment from "PickAAdck Papers") : "NOAV, for next week I want you to take this scene of Mr. PickAviek's alieged proposal to Mrs. Bardell. Learn the lines thoroughly, especially you, girls; you must have your arms free." (Heard in 23) : "A quantity equal to the same quantity is equal." Viola (in Physiology) : "The longest fibers of the body reach a distance of seven feet from the backbone to the foot." Lucid means to open up from tightness. "Ford, why don't you take Physiology or Botany?" Ford: "Why, aren't they the same thing?" "Only fools are certain; Avise people hesitate," said one Senior to another. "Are you sure?" "Why, of course, absolutely."

LITTLE MISS FRESHMAN Little Miss Freshman Avent up the wrong aisle, Down in the lunch-room one day, 'Long came Mr. Peck, adjusted his specs, And frightened Miss Freshman aAvay. DOROTHY A. SMITH, 46.
