KATE  F.   ANDREWS. 

AY  the  eighteenth  will  stand  in  the  calendar  of  Shields 
High  School  as  one  of  her  "red  letter"  days,  for  on 
that  date  a  decision  was  made  that  will  affect  her 
future  growth  and  usefulness. 

Within  the  last  few  ye^r-^,  aitJiough  there  has  uceu 
very  little  increase  in  the  entire  school  enumeration, 
the  number  of  students  in  both  Junior  and  Senior  High 
'  Schools  has  increased  about  75  per  cent  in  the  one 
and  over  100  per  cent  in  the  other;  and  today  we  have  in  both  departments 
an  enrollment  of  about  five  hundred  and  fifty. 

Under  these  conditions  of  growth,  it  inevitably  happened  that  our  build- 
ing, erected  when  we  numbered  little  over  one  hundred  and  fifty  in  the  Senior 
High  School,  became  too  small  for  the  increasing  numbers,  and  it  was  felt 
by  all  of  those  closely  associated  with  the  school  and  knowning  well  all  condi- 
tions that  there  must  be  built  an  addition  that  would  enable  us  to  have  more 
adequate  housing  facilities. 


The  Board  of  Education,  alive  to  the  needs  of  the  Schools  of  Seymour, 
decided  to  put  up  two  buildings.  One  to  take  the  place  of  the  present  Laurel 
School;  the  other  an  addition  to  the  Shields,  which  should  furnish  not  only 
delightful  rooms  for  the  six  lower  grades  now  housed  with  the  high  schools  in 
the  Shields  building,  but  an  auditorium  and  gymnasium  now  greatly  needed. 

After  the  Board  had  made  its  decision  to  eiilarge  the  Shields  school  and 
had  gone  through  all  necessary  preliminaries,  as  to  contracts  and  so  forth, 
the  bond  issue  was  ■appi'oved  by  the  council  and  all  seemed  to  be  moving 
smoothly  when  a  bomb  was  thrown  in  the  form  of  a  protest.  As  this  neces- 
sitated a  hearing  before  the  State  Tax  Board,  there  was  a  slight  delay  in  pro- 
ceedings. However,  a  speedy  hearing  was  given,  the  bonds  were  sold  at  an 
unusually  high  premium  subject  to  the  approval  of  the  Tax  Board  and  on 
May  the  eighteenth  the  bond  issue  was  legalized. 

Now  all  is  ready  and  before  many  days  have  passed,  the  first  shovelful 
of  dirt  will  have  been  dug  and  our  much  needed  addition  will  have  been  com- 
menced. Our  dream  is  that  by  next  year  instead  of  holding  classes  in  the  hall, 
office,  and  gymnasium,  all  of  the  teachers  may  have  well-lighted,  adequately 
equipped  recitation  rooms. 

This  new  building  will  join  by  a  connecting  corridor  the  present  High 
School  at  the  southwest  corner;  with  a  frontage  of  178  feet  it  will  extend 
west  71  feet.  On  the  first  floor  will  be  a  standard  gymnasium,  70  by  40  feet, 
at  the  west  end  of  which  is  a  stage  and  on  the  other  three  sides  seats  above 
which  is  a  balcony.  This  room  can  be  used  not  only  for  work  in  physical 
culture,  but  for  basketball  and  all  in-door  athletics.  In  the  front  part  of  this  floor 
will  be  office  rooms ;  and  by  the  stage  will  be  dressing  rooms  and  lavatories. 

Built  of  brick  like  that  of  the  present  structure  and  of  the  same  style 
the  two  buildings  will  have  a  unity  of  effect  and  appeal  strongly  from  the 
standpoint  of  architectural  beauty.  It  is  estimated  that  the  cost  for  the  com- 
pleted building  will  be  $71,553. 

We  understand  that  a  building  does  not  make  a  school ;  the  fine  teacher, 
the  eager  student,  and  a  splendid  spirit  of  co-operation  are  the  first  essentials. 
These  we  do  have  and  the  high  place  that  Shields  High  School  holds  in  the 
educational  world  is  testimony  to  this.  But  a  larger  building  adapted  to  our 
increased  numbers;  needed  equipment  for  more  effective  instruction;  additional 
room  that  will  enable  us  to  put  into  our  school  courses  of  study  and  even  of 
play  that  could  not  be  introduced  before,  because  of  lack  of  space ;  all  of  these 
factors  will  add  to  the  effectiveness  of  the  High  School  of  Seymour  as  an 
influence  in  upbuilding  the  citizenship  of  Seymour.  None  realize  this  more 
than  the  teachers  and  students  and  all  appreciate  the  active  interest  and  wise 
effort  of  the  superintendent  and  Board,  and  the  enlightened  and  altruistic 
attitude  on  the  part  of  the  council  and  citizens  that  have  made  possible  these 
greater  educational  opportunities  for  the  children  of  Seymour.

MARY   VIRGINIA  BROWN. 

AD  it  not  been  for  little  Denny  Gorgan,  Zandra  Ma- 
liorney,  who  lived  next  door  to  him,  might  have  con- 
sidered her  lot  a  hard  one.  Zandra  was,  as  she  her- 
self explained,  "A  perfect  orphan,  with  not  even  so 
much  as  a  grandmother, ' '  while  Denny  had  a  drunken 
father,  a  step-mother,  a  step-brother,  and  "oceans  and 
oceans  of  other  steps  in  his  family. ' ' 

She  was  sorry  for  him  and  would  often  tell  him  stories  to  take  his  mind 
away  from  conditions  around  him.  She  would  tell  him  how  little  boj-s  who  had 
been  good  all  the  year  would  write  a  letter  to  Santa  Claus,  telling  him  what 
they  wanted  most,  and  how  he  would  usually  bring  it. 

As  that  was  last  Fourth  of  July,  Zandra  (she  was  called  that  because  her 
mistress  thought  that  Alexandria  was  not  a  fitting  name  for  a  kitchen  maid) 
thought  that  surely  by  Christmas  poor  little  lame  Denny  would  forget  all  about 
it ;  but  he  did  not.  He  had  asked  for  a  horse  and  when  Zandra  asked  him  if  two 
handkerchiefs  would  not  do,  he  drew  his  sleeve  across  his  upturned  nose  and 
replied,  "I  don't  nade  'em  and  I  want  a  harse. " 

Poor  Zandra !  What  could  she  do !  She  had  only  fifty  cents  to  her  name, 
and  that  she  had  seen  Mr.  Gorgan  drop  from  his  dirty  handkerchief,  when  he 
had  told  Father  Cassidy  how  sick  he  had  been.  He  had  been  so  sick,  he  said, 
that  he  had  been  "seein'  things." 

"First  it  was  fleas,  then  it  was  bumble  bees,  and  last  it  was  cats,"  ad- 
mitted Mr.  Gorgan. 

"You  see,  'things'  get  larger  and  larger  and  more  dangerous,"  said  Father 
Cassidy,  "If  you  don't  stop  drinking  pretty  soon,  your  days  are  numbered." 

Then  the  two  men  had  walked  on,  leaving  the  fifty  cent  piece  in  the  grass. 
Right  then  and  there  Zandra  decided  that  Denny  should  have  a  Christmas  gift 
purchased  with  his  o\yi\  father's  money.  But  how  could  a  "harse,"  a  rocking 
"harse"  big  enough  for  Denn^-,  be  purchased  for  fifty  cents! 

She  might  go  to  a  second-hand  store  and  perchance  find  something  there 
that  would  answer  the  purpose  of  a  hoi^se,  or  she  might  purchase  one  on  the 
installment  plan,  but  when  would  she,  a  mere  kitchen  maid  ever  pay  the 
remainder ! 

Then  one  morning,  as  she  was  hanging  up  clothes,  she  happened  to  think 
that  hobby  horses  were  things  not  easily  broken,  but  more  easily  outgrown. 
Around  in  the  neighborhood  there  might  be  a  hobby  horse  that  had  been  out- 


grown  by  its  master,  who  would  be  only  too  glad  to  give  it  as  a  Christmas  gift 
to  a  little  lame  boy. 

Oh !  Happy  thought !  She  had  found  a  plan.  She  decided  to  use  that  fifty 
cents  to  pay  for  an  advertisement  in  the  paper  for  a  hobby  horse.  She  remem- 
bered that  Mr.  O'Donnel  had  once  said,  "It  pays  to  advertise." 

That  night  after  much  deliberation,  Zandra  put  her  advertisement  together. 
After  it  was  finished,  it  looked  something  like  this: 

' '  Poor  little  lame  boy  would  like  a  second-hand  hobby  horse. 
If  you  have  any  to  give,  please  leave  it  at  1420  Small  Street 
in  the  alley,  back  of  the  house." 

She  hoped  Mr.  and  Mrs.  0  'Donnel  would  not  read  the  ad  in  the  paper  and 
that  they  would  have  company  Christmas  Eve,  "so  the  coast  would  be  clear." 

Her  wish  came  true,  for  company  carried  the  O'Donnels  to  the  movies 
and  Zandra  was  left  to  herself. 

Presently  she  heard  the  whirr  of  a  ear,  and  looking  out  of  the  pantry 
window,  she  saw  the  glaring  headlights  of  the  car  piercing  the  darkness.  The 
auto  stopped,  a  man  got  out  and  set  a  hobby  horse  under  the  specified  maple  tree. 
Zandra  leaped  with  joy,  and  ran  down  the  alley  to  see  the  horse  safely  placed  in 
the  Gorgan's  back  yard. 

As  she  tripped  gayly  back  to  her  home,  she  saw  beneath  the  maple  tree 
another  horse.  She  listened  as  she  heard  the  merry  voices  of  carol  singers, 
coming  down  the  alley. 

"Don't  they  sound  happy,"  she  said  to  herself,  "and  won't  Denny  be  the 
very  picture  of  happiness  when  he  sees  two  'harses'  instead  of  one. 

"Here's  the  horsey  you  wanted,"  one  of  them  cried,  coming  nearer. 

"Thank  you,"  said  Zandra,  "but  you  must  have  wanted  it  awful  bad 
yourself."     Her  heart  moved  with  kindness  at  their  liberality. 

"Not  like  we  wanted  the  little  lame  boy  to  have  it,"  he  answered  moving  on. 

Altogether  there  were  eight  donations.  Some  were  certainly  objects  for 
the  tender  ministrations  of  the  "Society  for  the  Prevention  of  Cruelty  to 
Animals,"  but  would  have  appealed  to  the  heart  of  any  boy. 

In  spite  of  the  fact  that  it  was  a  holiday  and  the  O'Donnels  had  a  late 
breakfast,  Zandra  was  delighted  to  find  that  the  Gorgans,  too,  had  arisen  late. 
To  be  able  to  behold  the  joy  on  Denny's  face  when  he  first  beheld  the  chargers 
was  itself  Christmas  present  enough  for  Zandra. 

When  she  saw  Mrs.  Gorgan,  she  was  just  turning  unbelievingly  from  the 
window. 

"Holy  Mither  of  Moses!"  she  ejaculated. 

"Harses,"  gasped  Denny.  "I  wished  for  one  and  I  prayed  for  one,  and 
now  I  got  more." 


"You  prayed  too  hard,"  replied  Mrs.  Gorgan. 

Mr.  Gorgan,  who  had  spent  the  evening  before  in  town,  came  slowly  into 
the  room.  He  gave  one  look  at  the  window,  fell  back,  and  made  a  dash  for 
the  door. 

"Where  on  earth  are  you  going,  now?"  asked  his  wife. 

"To  Father  Cassidy,  to  make  a  pledge,"  he  answered.  "Things  keep 
a'  gitten'  bigger  and  bigger  and  now  I'm  seein'  unicorns."

T 


HE  sun  to  rest  sinks  in  the  west, 

The  end  of  a  day  is  near ; 
A  lonely  thrush  sings  in  a  bush 

Whose  leaves  are  brown  and  sear. 


The  sky  o'erhead  is  gold  and  red, 

A  wedge  of  geese  goes  o'er; 
The  autum  leaves  fall  off  the  trees 

And  cover  the  forest  floor. 

There  is  a  nook  beside  the  brook, 

A  bit  of  beauty  rare, 
That  thrills  the  heart  and  makes  one  start, 

When  one  comes  on  it  there. 

The  slender  trees,  the  autumn  leaves, 

The  ferns  beside  the  stream. 
The  marvelous  sky  stained  with  God's  dye 

Appear  as  in  a  dream. 

The  days  go  on;  the  beauty's  gone 

From  the  trees  and  the  woods  and  the  hill. 
Soft  falls  the  snow  and  the  cold  winds  blow ; 

The  voice  of  the  thrush  is  still. 


But  God  is  not  gone ;  his  work  is  not  done, 
On  the  trees  or  the  hill  or  the  wood. 

He  only  doth  rest,  He  knoweth  best 

That  the  world  will  go  on  as  it  should. 


EMALYN    COLUNS,    '22. 

IICHARD  Barnstone  rose  as  usual  on  this  October  morning, 
had  breakfast  with  his  wife  and  little  son,  Dick,  and  left 
for  the  office  with  his  customary  cheerfulness. 

In  the  morning  mail,  he  received  an  invitation  to  lunch 
from  Mr.  David  Grenvil,  who  stated  that  he  wanted  to 
see  Mr.  Barnstone  on  business.  Richard  was  pei'plexed 
and  at  the  same  time  a  little  flattered  to  think  that  the 
senior  partner  of  the  great  company  of  Grenvil-Parker  would  ask  him  to  lunch. 
The  more  he  thought  of  it,  the  more  perplexed  his  mind  became  and  when  he 
left  the  office  at  noon  on  hisi  way  to  lunch  with  the  noted  Mr.  Grenvil,  he  was 
in  a  state  of  great  anxiety. 

Now,  Richard  was  merely  an  under-secretary  in  the  head  office  of  the  firm 
which  was  a  bitter  rival  of  the  Grenvil-Parker  establishment. 

Nevertheless,  when  a  meeting  of  importance  was  called,  Barnstone  was 
generally  included  among  those  present,  and  his  opinion  in  serious  matters  was 
by  no  means  disi'egarded.  He  was  recognized  as  a  man  of  sane  judgment  and 
high  ambitions,  mingled  with  the  courage  and  confidence  of  youth.  It  was  in 
vain  that  Richard  wondered  what  Grenvil  could  want  with  him  and  what  the 
"important  business"  was  that  he  wished  to  discuss. 

On  arriving  at  the  club,  he  was  met  by  Mr.  David  Grenvil,  a  small  nervous 
man,  who,  after  few  preliminaries  stated  his  business.  He  began  by  tactfully 
ridiculing  Richard's  present  salary,  which  Richard  had  to  admit  was  only 
moderate,  even  though  it  had  been  large  enough  to  support  himself,  his  wife 
and  son,  Dickie,  and  to  a  afford  a  small  bank  account  which  he  hoped  some 
day  would  be  large  enough  to  give  Dickie  a  fine  education.  His  highest  ambition 
and  goal  was  to  educate  his  son  and  to  give  him  every  advantage  that  was  in 
his  power. 

As  these  thoughts  were  going  through  his  mind,  Mr.  Grenvil  continued. 

"It's  preposterous,"  thumping  the  floor  with  his  cane,  "to  think  that  a 
fine  young  man  of  your  experience  and  knowledge  should  stay  in  that  office, 
receiving  a  meager  sum  of  one  hundred  and  fifty  dollars  a  month!  A  man  of 
your  ambition  and  high  ideals  ought  to  be  getting  five  hundred  a  month  and 
I  am  here  to  offer  it  to  you ! ' ' 

Richard  listened,  attentive  yet  doubtful,  expectant  but  hesitating.  Five 
hundred  dollars  per  month  would  increase  that  little  bank  account  much  beyond 
Richard's  expectations. 


In  brief,  Grenvil's  proposition  was  this:  Barnstone  was  to  remain  in  the 
employ  of  the  American  Company  for  several  weeks — at  least  long  enough  to 
find  out  what  the  firm  was  going  to  bid  at  the  next  stockholder's  meeting. 
Richard  shook  his  head,  for  he  knew  that  to  give  Grenvil  this  bit  of  knowledge 
would  mean  a  great  financial  loss  to  his  present  employers.  It  would  be  play- 
ing false  to  the  company  with  which  he  had  been  so  long  connected  to  quietly 
resign  from  the  American  Company  and  transfer  to  the  Grenvil-Parker  Estab- 
lishment as  Junior  partner  with  five  hundred  dollars  a  month  and  promised 
advancement. 

Richard  begged  leave  to  consider  the  matter  until  the  next  morning  when 
he  would  let  him  know  his  decision.  Grenvil  agreed  and  impressed  upon  him 
the  facts  that  no  one  would  ever  know  about  this  little  business,  that  he  would 
be  perfectly  safe,  and  that  he  had  a  perfect  right  to  change  positions  if  another 
offered  better  opportunities. 

Barnstone  returned  to  the  office  with  a  heavy  heart  and  a  cloudy  mind.  He 
could  not  work.  He  had  to  think  this  thing  out — get  it  off  his  mind.  He  left 
the  office  and  started  home,  although  it  was  only  mid-afternoon.  As  he  walked 
his  mind  became  clearer  and  he  was  able  to  think.  Why  shouldn't  he  accept 
Grenvil's  offer?  He  was  under  no  obligations  to  his  company  and  there  was 
no  reason  why  he  should  stay  with  them  if  someone  else  offered  a  better  salary. 

But  his  inner-self  answered,  "Would  you  enjoy  the  results  of  this  better 
offer  if  it  is  obtained  by  deceit  and  underhanded  schemes?"  Richard  knew  that 
it  was  not  an  honorable  plan  and  that  his  transference  would  not  be  a  loyal 
thing.  To  disclose  the  knowledge  that  Grenvil  was  desirous  of  having  was  any- 
thing but  the  deed  of  a  gentleman. 

But  the  money!  That  salary  which  would  increase  the  bank  account  that 
some  day  was  to  put  Dickie  through  college.  Richard's  heart  beat  rapidly  as 
he  thought  of  the  increased  advantages  of  a  boy  who  has  money  behind  him. 
No  one  would  know  of  it.  Hadn't  Grenvil  said  that  he  would  keep  it  quiet? 
And  then — what  was  there  really  to  be  ashamed  of?  He  would  merely  transfer 
from  one  company  to  the  other,  an  act  which  was  being  done  everj'  day. 

Arguing  and  arguing,  he  finally  determined  to  accept  the  offer. 

It  was  late  afternoon  when  he  turned  his  steps  toward  home.  The  little 
place  looked  like  a  fairy's  castle.  The  tiny  white  cottage  enshrined  in  trees; 
the  rows  of  white  and  yellow  chrysanthemums ;  it  was  truly  a  scene  that  would 
grace  fairyland. 

Richard  entered  the  house  very  quietly  for  it  seemed  as  if  there  was  a 
charm  on  the  little  home.  He  seemed  afraid  of  breaking  the  quiet  and  peace 
that  reigned. 

He  opened  the  door  and  before  him  was  as  pretty  a  picture  of  home,  com- 
fort and  happiness  as  any  man  could  wish.  His  wife,  Beatrice,  was  sitting 
before  the  fire,  telling  little  Dick,  who  sat  at  her  feet,  a  fairy  story    The  flame 


in  the  fireplace  sent  a  soft  glow  over  the  room,  the  only  light.  Richard,  weary 
with  the  day's  problems,  sank  in  a  nearby  chair  and  listened.  Beatrice,  un- 
aware of  his  entrance,  was  saying: 

"Vallalila  and  Granmer  were  brother  and  sister  and  lived  with  their  old 
grandmother  in  a  beautiful  valley,  where  there  were  lots  of  flowers  and  trees, 
and  where  the  sun  shed  its  warm  rays  upon  their  little  home  and  where  the 
raindrops  played  upon  the  cottage  roof.  Vallalila  was  a  golden-haired  girl  as 
bright  and  cheerful  as  the  beams  that  come  from  the  sun.  But  Granmer  was 
dark-haired  and  had  black  eyes.  Sometimes  he  was  dark  and  ugly  like  the 
sky  in  a  storm  and  the  flashes  from  his  eyes  were  as  bright  and  keen  as  those 
of  the  lightning.  Most  of  the  time,  however,  he  was  like  his  sister  and  they 
spent  many  happy  hours  together  in  the  woods. 

One  beautiful  day  in  October,  when  many,  many  leaves  had  fallen  on  the 
ground,  Vallalila  and  Granmer  were  playing.  Suddenly,  the  little  girl  gave  a 
cry  and  when  Granmar  ran  to  her,  he  found  her  bending  over  a  large  beautiful, 
white  flower.  At  it's  side  grew  a  large  yellow  one.  Granmer,  attracted  by  the 
bright  gleams  of  the  yellow,  seized  it  and  cried,  "Oh!  Oh!  Oh!  Aren't  they 
beautiful?  Mine  is  the  prettiest!  You  can  have  the  pale  white  ones,  but  I 
like  yellow!" 

But  Vallalila  was  very  pleased  with  hers  and  broke  it  from  the  stem  and 
ran  to  her  grandmother.  When  Granmer  plucked  his  from  the  stem,  he  felt  it 
grow  hard  in  his  hands  and  turn  to  solid  gold.  But  he  was  overjoyed!  He  ran 
to  his  grandmother  and  she  told  them  that  the  flowers  were  called  chrysan- 
themums, and  had  probably  been  planted  there  by  the  "Fairy  of  Fate." 

"The  golden  chrysanthemum  will  bring  you  boundless  wealth,"  she  told 
Granmer. 

"But  dear  Vallalila,"  she  said  as  tears  fell  from  her  eyes,  "Fate  has  de- 
creed that  you  will  have  to  suffer  for  the  joys  of  another." 

' '  Oh,  no ! "  cried  Granmer,  ' '  She  will  never  suffer,  for  I  won 't  let  her ! 
I'm  going  to  take  care  of  her  forever  and  ever." 

Poor  Granmer !    He  little  knew  that  he  was  to  be  the  cause  of  all  her  sorrow. 

For  several  years  the  two  children  were  happy  and  played  together  in  their 
valley.  But  one  day,  Granmer  grew  tired  of  his  life  there,  so  taking  his  golden 
chrysanthemum,  he  kissed  his  sister  good-bye  and  left  for  the  larger  world 
beyond.    Vallalila  was  very  sad  for  she  loved  Granmer  dearly. 

One  day  in  October  Granmer  had  left  his  mansion  and  was  walking  down 
the  long  walk  to  the  waiting  carriage.  It  was  a  beautiful  day  and  the  storm 
on  his  face  appeared  to  have  somewhat  abated.  He  was  inspecting  the  lawn  as 
he  walked  and  an  attractive  bunch  of  flowers  growing  near  the  well  caught  his 


eye.  He  went  over  to  examine  them  and  recognized  them  as  chrysanthemums, 
as  beautiful  as  those  that  he  and  Vallalila  had  found  so  many  years  ago.  Memo- 
ries of  his  little  sister  and  of  the  beautiful  valley  flooded  his  mind  and  he  was 
very  sad. 

"Oh,  Vallalila,"  he  cried.  "How  could  I  have  ever  forgotten  you  so  longi 
Will  you  forgive  me?    I  need  you  so — oh — so  much!" 

He  broke  the  flower  from  its  stem  and  much  to  his  dismay  he  saw  it  wither 
and  fade  in  his  hand.  He  realized  the  significance  of  the  act  at  once  and  when 
he  remembered  the  little  girl  in  the  valley  and  his  neglect  and  disregard  of 
her,  he  was  overcome  with  sorrow. 

Graiuner's  grief  was  so  deep  that  he  sent  messengers  to  all  parts  of  the 
kingdom  to  hunt  for  his  sister  but  they  could  not  find  her.  When  all  of  the 
messengers  returned  and  reported  their  failure,  Granmer  decided  to  set  out 
himself  in  search  of  Vallalila. 

He  searched  for  many  many  days  and  finally,  weary  and  footsore,  he 
reached  his  native  home.  He  hardly  recognized  it.  The  place  where  every- 
thing once  had  been  so  happy  and  peaceful  now  was  gloomy  and  dreary. 

He  was  so  sad  and  weary  that  he  sank  down  on  a  nearby  log  and  wept. 
He  had  found  the  cottage,  old  and  desolate,  but  he  could  not  find  his  sister. 
He  looked  again  at  the  scene  before  him  and  he  saw  this  time  growing  beside 
the  cottage  door,  a  single  chrysanthemum  on  a  tall  slender  stem,  graced  with 
beautiful  leaves. 

He  went  to  it  and  when  he  touched  it  he  saw  the  beautiful  flower  change 
its  form  and  take  on  the  appearance  of  his  much  sought  sister,  Vallalila. 

"Oh,  Granmer,  Im  so  glad  you've  come  back  to  me,"  she  cried,  "You 
don 't  know  how  sad  I  have  been.  I  couldn  't  stand  it  any  longer  so  the  ' '  Fairy 
of  Fate"  changed  me  into  my  white  chrysanthemum.  I've  waited  so  long  and 
I  thought  you  never  would  come  back." 

Granmer  felt  very  sad  when  he  thought  of  the  suffering  and  sorrow  he  had 
cuased  her  but  now  that  he  had  her  back,  he  was  happy.  They  returned  to 
Granmer 's  home  and  lived  happily  ever  after,  never  forgetting  the  white  and 
golden  chrysanthemums. ' ' 

When  Beatrice  finished  her  story,  Richard  rose  from  his  chair  and  joined 
the  two  before  the  fire. 

' '  Beatrice, ' '  he  said,  ' '  The  time  has  come  when  I  am  to  choose  between  the 
white  and  golden  chrysanthemums.  I  almost  chose  the  golden,  but  due  to  your 
beautiful  little  story,  my  honor  is  saved  and  tomorrow — I  will  refuse  the  golden 
and — accept  the  white  chrysanthemum."

1  OME  write  poems  for  recreation 

kSome  write  them  as  their  vocation. 
There  are  others  who  write  by  inspiration 
When  filled  with  hate  or  perhaps  adoration. 
There  have  been  poets  who  sang  for  fashion, 
Who  have  had  a  song  for  every  occasion; 
But  when  we  were  required  to  write  an  oration 
That  was  to  be  in  verse  and  without  limitation, 
You  certainly  could  have  heard  the  palpitation 
Of  my  heart — without  exaggeration ! 
She  said,  "There  must  be  no  imitation, 
There  ought  not  be  any  repetition; 
You  may  write  about  any  law  or  nation. 
But  it  must  express  some  high  elation!" 
And  so,  if  this  poem  causes  any  sensation 
And  there  should  be  heard  such  cries  as  "Cessation' 
And  you  feel  you  are  very  near  suffocation 
But  still  would  desire  some  illumination. 
As  to  why  I've  attempted  such  an  oration 
Just  know  it's  because  of  an  adjuration 
And  the  wish  to  escape  that  flagellation.

RAYMOND  FEASTER,    '24. 

I  IT  up,  thai"!,  John  Evans  Lee!"  shouted  the  buxom  old  negro 
woman  as  she  dexterously  flopped  the  pancakes  she  was  frying. 
The  covers  of  the   bed   on   the   other  side   of   the   room 
shook  slightly. 

"Git  out,  j-ou  all,  if  you'se  gwine  t'  th'  centinnial." 
A  black  curly  head  of  hair  followed  by  a  shining  black 
face  emerged  into  the  beam  of  sunshine  that  fell  through  the  open  door. 

"Hurry  up,  now!  yo'  breakfus'  am  jes'  about  ready,"  she  continued,  still 
busy  flopping  the  pancakes. 

"Cain't  ah  try  to  ride  that  goat  jes'  once?"  eagerly  came  from  John 
Evans  Lee. 

"Ain't  ah  done  said  no!"  emphatically. 

"Why  for?" 

"I  can't  have  no  broke  bones  fer  t'  fool  with  roun'  this  jint, "  she  answered 
firmly,  with  a  flourish  of  her  broad  right  hand  that  boded  much  ill  if  he  should 
dare  disobey. 

This  was  the  day  that  the  little  town  of  Denleyville  down  in  Tennessee 
was  going  to  celebrate  it's  himdredth  birthday  with  a  great  ceremony.  Among 
other  features  of  the  occasion  was  to  be  one  that  had  attracted  wide-spread 
interest  among  the  younger  members  of  the  village. 

An  enterprising  merchant  of  the  town  was  offering  a  ten  dollar  bill  to 
the  youth  who  could  ride  Widow  Johnson's  goat,  whose  services  had  been 
ofifered  with  the  remark,  "Maybe  that'll  take  him  down  a  notch!" 

And  here  let  it  be  said  that  certain  people  (who  had  been  so  conceited  as 
to  think  they  could  make  up  with  him)  had  found  that  he  had  great  "hitting 
strength"  and  a  quick  and  furious  temper.  The  Widow  herself  had  had  an 
encounter  with  him,  to  her  own  discomfort. 

One  morning  as  she  was  taking  some  corn  through  his  lot  to  her  chickens, 
the  goat,  who  was  accustomed  to  receiving  a  share,  became  angry  when  his 
mistress  refused  to  give  him  a  portion  and  promptly  tui'ned  into  a  battering 
ram.  The  result  was  that  he  got  all  the  corn  and  the  Widow  spent  the  next 
four  days  in  bed  with  fresh  applications  of  hot  cloths  applied  every  five  minutes 
and  a  strong  denunciation  of  the  goat  pronounced  between  each  groan. 

Goaded  on  by  the  thought  of  winning  the  ten  dollar  bill  and  the  popularity 
it  would  bring  with  it,  John   Evans  had  built  manj'  air  castles  that  came 


tumbling  about  him,  when  his  mother  had  flatly  refused  to  give  her  permission 
for  any  such  exploit. 

Although  his  spirits  were  lowered  greatly  by  his  mother's  obstinate  refusal, 
he  was  determined  to  make  up  for  his  disappointment  with  taffy,  ice  cream  and 
various  amusements. 

Ten  o'clock  found  him  in  the  huge,  sweating  circle  of  humanity,  with  all 
the  taffy  he  could  chew  stuffed  into  his  mouth. 

The  goat  amid  many  cheers  was  led  in,  and,  when  loosed,  stood  rolling  his 
eyes  from  side  to  side,  as  if  he  were  coolly  sizing  up  his  opponents. 

There  was  a  great  hush,  as  the  crowd  waited  to  see  who  should  be  the  first 
to  try  his  luck  and  a  shout  of  applause  arose  as  a  short  stocky  negro  boy  ran 
at  the  goat.  There  was  a  cloud  of  dust  and  when  the  air  was  clear  the  boy  was 
seen  picking  himself  up  and  limping  off  as  he  shook  his  head  dubiously. 

During  the  next  half  hour  more  than  a  score  of  boys  were  stretched  in 
the  dust  by  the  force  of  the  goat's  powerful  head-on  rushes  and  then  walked 
off  (if  they  were  able)  with  the  jeers  of  the  crowd  ringing  in  their  ears.  With 
the  defeat  of  each  of  his  companions,  John  Evans  grew  more  restless  and 
temptation  grew  stronger ;  but  the  thought  of  his  mother 's  broad  palm  quieted 
all  his  vain  longings. 

The  goat's  temper  had  been  rising  too.  It  was  quite  perplexing  to  the  goat 
who  was  seldom  out  of  his  quiet  lot,  to  be  surrounded  by  this  yelling  throng. 
Suddenly  he  made  a  rush  at  the  circle.  The  ci'owd  scattered  and  he  headed 
for  John  Evans. 

John  Evans  jumped,  but  too  late,  and  the  goat  hit  him  squarely.  He  was 
tossed  high  enough,  however,  for  the  goat  to  run  between  his  legs.  He  landed 
squarely  upon  the  enraged  animal's  back  and  automatically  clamped  his  legs 
around  its  body. 

There  was  a  shout  of  surprise  as  the  goat  started  on  a  bee-line  for  home 
with  the  scared  and  aching  John  Evans  on  his  back. 

A  few  minutes  later  the  crowd  found  the  boy  perched  on  a  post  in  front  of 
the  widow's  house  with  the  goat  keeping  close  guard. 

John  Evans  spent  the  rest  of  the  day  lying  face  down  in  bed  but  the  next 
morning  he  was  up  limping  around  outside  and  telling  about  his  ride  to  his 
less  fortunate  friends  and  adversaries. 

"Come  set  down  an'  eat  yo'  breakfus'  honey,"  called  the  proud  mother 
from  the  fi'ont  door  of  the  little  cabin. 

"Ah  cain't  set  down!"  exclaimed  the  boy  in  disgust. 

"Why  John  Evans  Lee,  I'd  eat  a  standin'  up  for  a  whole  month  for  that 
ten  dollar  bill!" 

"Well,  I'se  not  mindin'  havin'  t'  eat  standin'  up.  What's  a  botherin'  me 
is  the  why-fer  ah  cain't  set  down."

MARIAN    SIMON,    '23. 

UM,  turn,  turn,  turn,  and  many  turn  tvuns, 
From  a  million  of  thousands  of  African  tongues ! 
Wouldn't  it  make  you  turn  pale  with  fear 
If  you  heard  it  coming  ever  nearer  and  near? 

Now  they  gather  together  around  a  great  fire, 
And  the  smoke  flies  higher  and  higher  and  higher. 
Hark!    They're  chanting  some  terrible  hymn, 
Until  the  fire  burns  out  or  is  dim. 

Soon  the  lovely  black  maidens  appear 
And  dance  at  the  feet  of  the  king  over  there. 
The  children  play  merrily  in  a  ring, 
Under  the  sway  of  a  cannibal  king. 

Suddenly  a  noise  breaks  on  the  air. 
We'd  like  to  see  what  it  is,  but  don't  dare. 
With  joy  the  cannibals  raise  a  hideous  din, 
As  a  wonderful  feast  is  now  brought  in. 

Later  the  feast  is  all  cleared  away, 
The  cannibals  welcome  the  coming  of  day. 
A  procession  now  files  over  the  land. 
Led  noisily  on  by  a  cannibal  band!

DOROTHY   STEINKAMP,    '25. 


O 


NCE  there  was  a  little  girl, 

Who  tried  to  write  a  rhyme, 

She  tried  to  write  it  more  than  once 
And  missed  it  every  time. 

She  finally  grew  discouraged 
And  gave  up  in  despair 

And  turned  around  and  lo,  behold ! 
A  picture  hanging  there! 

The  picture  was  a  cabin 

In  Sunny  Tennessee; 
It  was  a  lovely  picture 

Now  you  just  wait  and  see. 

The  sun  was  slowly  sinking 
Before  the  cabin  door; 

And  a  little  pickaninny 

Lay  sleeping  on  the  floor. 

The  picture  is  her  poem, 

The  sun-beams  slanting  light 
Into  the  dusky  cabin 

And    filling   it   with   light. 

And  so  it  told  her  what  to  say 
And  now  you  see  she's  said  it 

And  now  I  hope  her  teacher  dear 
Will  give  her  a  full  credit.

MATHILDE   KESSLER,    '22. 

OME  right  in,  Marthy,  an'  lay  off  your  wraps.  Sure  am  glad 
to  hev'  the  girls  here  today!  Guess  they'll  all  brave  the 
cold  weather  for  an  old-times  meetin'.  Why  j^ou've  got  a 
new  hat — real  pretty.    Here,  right  here,  in  the  hall." 

Sally  Blake  bustled  about  to  make  her  guest  comfortable. 
' '  Come  in  to  the  fire.    Yes,  — it  does  feel  good  an '  warm. 
Henry  made  the  fire  for  me  jus'  before  he  went  back  to  the  shop." 

Martha  Sanders,  her  guest,  came  puffing  in  and  sat  down  with  a  flourish 
on  one  of  the  large  easy  chairs,  relaxing  comfortably.  She  was  indeed  stout, 
a  rather  domestic  looking  creature  with  smooth  capable  hands.  Her  hair  was 
combed  straight  back  and  she  wore  a  pair  of  thick  glasses. 

' '  We — 11, ' '  she  began,  pulling  open  a  large  roomy  bag  so  typical  of  herself 

and  disclosing  a  sock,  half-finished.    "Well,  Sal,  how's  how's — Patrick  Henry?" 

Sally  Blake  threaded  her  needle  thoughtfully  and  then  answered  "Well, 

the  dear  thing's  better,  I  think.     He's  not  been  a  bit  friskj'  lately,  you  know, 

at  all.    But  I  think  he  looks  a  little  better ! ' ' 

Patrick  Henry  was  the  Blakes'  eat,  and  all  the  neighborhood  had  been 
duly  worried  about  its  recent  illness.  One  exception  to  this  general  solicitude 
was  a  rather  cross  gentleman  next  door  who  was  heard  to  declare  that  "he 
hated  that  thing  over  at  Blake's  and  really  felt  sorry  that  so  eminent  a  man 
had  to  be  burdened  with  such  a  namesake."  However  he  was  considered  a 
bit  queer  anyway. 

Then  Mis'  Sanders  smiled  as  with  relief.  "So  glad  to  hear  it,"  she  said, 
"Henry  is  so  devoted  to  him,  isn't  he?" 

"Yes,  he —  oh,  I  hear  steps.  Must  be  the  others  coming,"  and  with  this 
she  hastened  to  the  door  and  found  her  supposition  true.  Two  minutes  later 
the  newcomers  entered  the  room;  namely.  Miss  Jane  Tripp  and  Mis'  Jen 
Jennisou,  the  town  constable 's  wife,  with  Mis '  Blake  hovering  in  the  background. 

They  exchanged  greetings  and  drew  up  their  chairs  before  the  fire. 

"Git  out  your  work,  whatever  you  brought,"  said  Sally  Blake.  "I^I'm 
making  a  centerpiece,  course  it's  nothing  what  j'ou'd  call  elaborate  but," — here 
she  held  it  up  none  the  less  proudly,  "but  I  guess  it'll  do  maybe." 

The  other  three  exclaimed  and  made  the  necessary  compliments. 

"My — cert'n'ly  is  pretty,"  and  lovely,  Mis'  Blake . 


Suddenly  Mis'  Blake  got  up  hastily  and  closed  the  door,  saying  something 
about  a  "draft."  Then  she  resumed  her  seat  and  Mis'  Jen  Jennison  spoke. 
She  was  a  nervous,  slender  little  body.  Her  eyes  were  small  and  snapping, 
and  her  hair  was  arranged  in  an  elaborate  pompadour,  with  curls  shaking 
energetically  in  the  back. 

"Cert'n'ly  is  aw-ful,"  she  said  looking  primly  down  over  her  nose-glasses 
and  drawing  her  mouth  into  a  wrinkly  ball,  "why  I  never  heard-tell  a'  such 
doin's  on!" 

"Who'd  you  say — Mary  Ann  Hutchison,"  said  Sally  dropping  her  work 
for  the  moment  and  looking  up  inquiringly. 

"Yes — Mary  Ann  Hutchison  has  bobbed  her  hair.  Just  the  other  day 
I  was  over  to  Mis'  Hutchison's  telling  her  about  the  Mish'nary  meeting  you 
know," — they  all  nodded,"  an'  hei'e  comes  Mai'y  Ann  a  flouncin'  in  an'  that 
hair  o'  hers  bobbing  up  and  down.  E — magine  it.  And —  her  mother  smilin' 
all  the  time.  Oh,  my !  When  I  think — such  beautiful  hair — to  have  it  slashed 
off" — here  Mrs.  Constable  shook  ner  head,  "An'  the  neat  way  they  used  to  fix 
their  hair,  oh  deai' — " 

Then  Martha  Sanders  broke  in,  in  a  low  whisper,  "An'  you  say  it  was 
cut-clean  even  with   'er  ears?     Goodness!  Goodness." 

Several  shakings  of  the  head  went  the  rounds,  then  Jane  Tripp  the  only 
old  maid  of  the  crowd,  spoke  for  the  first  time,  ' '  Well  now  I  guess  here 's  about 
where  I  disagree  with  you.  Mis'  Jennison.  That  Hutchison  girl's  hair,  's'long 
as  I  could  remember,  was  about  as  stringy  as  it  could  possibly  be,  and  I  think 
cutting  it  was  a  good  thing."  Here  a  gasp  was  emitted  from  the  listening 
audience,  but  Miss  Jane  went  bravely  on,  "0  course,  I  don't  say  as  how  I 
believe  in  all  the  new  fangled  notions  girls  get  in  their  heads  nowaday.  But 
when  I  think  the  way  they  used  to  put  thein  hair — with  a  big  blouse  over  their 
forehead — it's  a  wonder  they  could  even  think!" 

When  she  finished  her  three  friends  from  childhood  looked  at  this  Modern 
Day  Agitator  with  a  distinct  air  of  surprise,  but  it  was  but  a  momentary  sur- 
prise, for  June  had  always  been  independent,  mischievous,  too,  along  with  it — 
the  time  she  fooled  the  prim  schoolmarm,  and — but  that,  however  is  another 
story. 

Then  Mis'  Sanders  said  with  a  sniff,  "Well  if  they  do  bob  their  hair  it 
will  be  'equinomecal'  anyway  for  they  won't  have  to  buy  hair  pins." 

Depend  on  Martha  Sanders  to  look  after  the  financial  side  of  it. 

"Nor  puffs  either,"  put  in  Sally  with  a  low  chuckle,  "fer  I  see  you  can 
buy  them  in  New  York." 

Then  Mis'  Jennison  said  in  a  loud  voice,  "Well,  I  think  it's  ridiculous, 
an'  Jane,  I'm  surprised,  absolutely!  Might  know  though  ever  since  we  were 
girls — "  here  she  broke  off — then,  "Why  my  niece  said  just  the  other  day — " 


And  here  the  others  involuntarily  gave  a  sigh  or  two  and  let  Mis' 
Jennison  tell  her  inevitable  tale  about  her  dear  niece.  By  this  time  Mis'  Blake 
and  the  rest  thought  they  knew  everything  there  possibly  was  to  know  about! 
that  dear  relative,  but  somehow  there  was  something  new  to  add  to  the  long 
list  at  every  meeting. 

Just  in  the  middle  of  her  story  there  was  a  crash!  a  bang!  and  Sally 
jumped  up  frightened  and  hurried  to  the  kitchen.  She  returned  three  minutes 
later  with  the  announcement  that  the  cat  had  only  upset  two  chairs  and 
a  milk  bottle. 

"That  cat's  not  sick,"  murmured  Miss  Jane  hiding  a  smile. 

There  was  a  minute  or  two  of  silence  after  this  shock.  When  they  were 
all  settled  again,  Martha  began: 

"Say,  wasn't  that  fine  salad  at  the  supper  the  other  night?  I  tho't  Bi'other 
Johnson  was  goin'  to  eat  all  there  was.  Mis'  'Tee  made  it,  didn't  she?  An' 
those  cheesed-pametto  sandwiches!    Certainly,  tasted  good." 

"Well  to  tell  the  truth,  I  wasn't  much  struck  with  those  new-fangled 
sandwiches  nor  the  salad  either,"  said  Miss  Jane,  hesitatingly,  "I  didn't  care 
for  it  at  all.     Old  fashioned  eatin'  's  good  'nuff  fer  me." 

As  they  continued  in  this  strain  they  did  not  notice  that  Mis'  Blake  sud- 
denly grew  red  and  coughed  two  or  three  times.  Finally,  she  excused  herself 
and  left  the  room.  Her  friends,  thinking  it  about  refi'eshment  time,  did  not 
notice  anything  wrong.  But  out  in  the  kitchen  a  heart-rendering  sight  met 
Sally's  eyes.  There  on  the  table  were  four  plates  heaped  with  salad  and  two 
delicious  looking  "new-fangled"  pimento-cheesed  sandwiches  on  each  plate. 
A  pot  of  hot  chocolate  stood  ready  to  heat.  What  would  she  do?  Here  Martha 
was  the  only  one. 

An  idea  came.  Ten  minutes  later  instead  of  the  sandwiches  were  two  large 
freshly-fried  doughnuts.  She  also  had  put  some  good  preserves  next  to  the 
doughnuts  "to  make  up  for  the  salad."    Then  she  took  her  tray  into  the  guests. 

"Oh — oh  aren't  these  doughnuts  de-licious,"  exclaimed  Mis'  Jennison, 
they're  about  as  good  as  Elizabeth  makes."  (Elizabeth  was  her  niece.) 

"They're  lovely,  Sally,"  said  Jane  with  appreciation,  "and  made  just 
for  this  little  party!" 

The  picture  of  a  hungry  Henry  coming  home  that  evening  to  an  empty 
doughnut  jar,  rose  in  his  wife's  mind. 

"Ah — yes,  I  guess  they'll  do,"  she  answered,  "have  some  more,  Marthy 
dear. ' ' 

Then  suddenly  another  crash  sounded  in  the  kitchen,  and  this  time  all 
the  ladies,  remembering  that  they  had  neglected  to  aid  Mis'  Blake  in  the  other 
accident  hurried  after  their  hostess.     There  Patrick  Henry  was  perched  on  the 


table  politely  partaking  of  the  salad  that  was  in  a  crock  and  climbing  over  the 
neatly-cut  sandwiches.    A  broken  plate  lay  on  the  floor. 

' '  Pati'ick,  Patrick !  I  'm  ashaaned — oh — get  out ! ' '  And  the  poor  cat  was 
pushed  out  the  back  door.  If  any  suspicion  had  come  into  their  minds,  the 
guests,  to  the  relief  of  their  nervous  hostess,  said  nothing,  but  filed  back  into 
the  sitting-room. 

When  they  reached  the  room  something  very  funny  met  their  eyes.  On  the 
floor  lay  a  perfectly  good  set  of  false  curls.  They  all  looked  bewildered  except 
Mis'  Jennison.  She  looked  at  the  curls  on  the  floor,  in  astonishment,  then  felt 
the  back  of  her  head  with  a  dazed  air.  Then  she  realized  in  the  suddeness  of 
her  jump  when  she  had  heard  the  noise  in  the  kitchen,  that  her  curls  had  fallen 
in  the  strife.  She  grabbed  them  hastily  and  looked  up  with  a  crimson  face. 
The  silence  that  followed  was  impressive  and  spoke  more  than  words.  The  few 
with  the  sense  of  humor  controlled  their  faces  pretty  well  in  the  predicament. 

"We  had  such  a  lovely  time,  Sally,"  said  Marthy,  later  as  the  guests  rose 
to  go,  "and  those  refreshments  were  just  fine!" 

Miss  Jane   echoed  this   heartily. 

"And  remember  you  come  to  my  house  soon,"  murmured  Mis'  Jennison, 
who  had  quite  recovered  from  the  disgrace,  "you  know  my  niece  always  says — " 

"Come  Mis'  Jennison,  goodbye  Mis'  Blake.     We  had  a  love-ly  time." 

"Well,  I'm  always  glad  for  us  girls  to  get  together  this  way.  Goodbye. 
Don't  hurt  yourself  on  those  steps,  Marthy."  And  the  guests  hurried  home- 
ward from  their  eventful  afternoon.

JEANETTE   CLARK,    '25. 

HE  pale  blue  sky  looks  down  on  the  dreary  earth, 
The  dew  drops  spai'kle  on  the  ground 
And  everything  awakens  as  from  a  swound. 

The  morning 's  rainbows  sparkle  everywhere ; 

A  tinge  of  spring  is  in  the  air 

And  flowei's  unfold  their  colors  fresh  and  rare. 

The  sweet  note  of  the  meadow  lark  is  heard. 

The  twitter  of  the  robin  near 

And  all  awakening  life  says,  "Spring  is  here!"

VER  the  hilltop  rises  the  sun. 
The  stars  disappear,  the  day  has  begun. 
The  day  bathes  her  face  in  the  shing  dew. 
Then  goes  her  way,  her  tasks  to  pursue. 

The  birds  in  the  tree  tops  she  wakes  from  their  sleep, 
The  flowers  and  bees  from  their  slumber  so  deep. 
She  wakens  and  calls  to  his  duty  each  one, 
As  up  in  the  sky  slowly  creeps  the  warm  sun. 

The  children  she  calls  to  their  school  or  their  play. 
The  grown  people  rise  at  the  summons  of  day. 
Then  all  to  their  work  or  their  studies  or  play 
Go  to  return  at  the  close  of  the  day.

March  15,  1922 


There  is  no  death!  The  leaves  may  fall, 
The  flowers  may  fade  and  pass  away — 

They  only  wait  through  wintry  hours, 
The  coming  of  the  May.

STELLA   HALLOWELL,    '22. 

NE,  two,  three,  four! 

Sometimes  I  wish  there  were  more." 

Freshman,  Sophomore,  Junior,  Senior,  just  four  short  years, 
yet  how  much  they  hold!  They  contain  not  only  the  joys 
and  sorrows  of  "high  school  days"  but  they  inspire  many 
of  the  ideals  that  are  to  shape  the  future  of  those  who  have 
lived  within  their  influence. 
The  student  never  fully  realizes  the  effect  of  these  four  years  upon  his  life 
in  the  past  nor  feels  how  great  may  be  their  influence  in  the  unknown  future, 
until  he  stands  on  that  summit  of  youthful  knowledge,  his  senior  year,  and 
looks  back  over  the  past,  and  then  forward  into  the  mysterious  days  that  are 
yet  to  come.  Then  it  seems  that  all  the  faith,  affection  and  stimulating  ambi- 
tions, which  may  have  lain  dormant,  suddenly  rush  forth  and  almost  overwhelm 
him  with  joy.  Not  until  then  does  it  dawn  upon  him  how  much  his  school  life 
has  meant. 

The  school  is  made  sacred  in  the  memories  of  those  who  go  out  from  its 
walls  into  the  various  walks  of  life;  for  in  their  hearts  it  will  always  mean  the 
dreams  and  aspirations  so  dear  to  youth. 

Prom  the  mountain  peak  of  the  Senior  year,  the  students,  look  down  upon 
the  winding,  toilsome  way  of  their  ascent,  and,  for  the  first  time,  perhaps,  per- 
ceive with  feelings  of  exultation,  the  "Sloughs  of  Depend"  and  the  "Valleys 
of  Humiliation"  through  which  they  have  passed.  On  and  on  the  winding  way 
climbs  ever  upward,  sometimes  passing  through  the  pleasant  meadows  of 
English,  and  crossing  the  refreshing  streams  of  History,  but  often  rambling 
through  the  stony  valleys  of  Algebra  and  Geometry.  But  there  was  always  the 
guardian  spirit  of  Wisdom  to  encourage,  and  her  colleague.  Ambition,  to  spur 
on  the  laggards. 

But  how  pleasant  is  the  summit,  how  cool  and  calm  is  the  spirit,  how  excit- 
ing the  anticipations  of  that  "One  Night"!  What  gratification  and  pride  fill 
the  heart !  What  love  and  companionship  exist  for  those  that  have  gone  through 
the  struggle  together.  How  ready  and  eager  one  feels  to  enter  the  morning  of 
life's  combats  and  how  confident  that  he  will  emerge  victorious!  A  dream  of 
youth  perhaps,  but  one  that  spreads  a  halo  about  the  school  that  has  made  the 
dreams  possible,  and  the  dreamer  feel  that  he  can  make  them  come  true!

T 


WAS  the  war-cry  of  the  nations 

As  they  fought  for  liberty; 
For  the  freedom  of  those  peoples 

Crushed  by  harsh  autocracy. 
When  the  world  was  dark  and  dreary, 

Came  the  ringing  clarion ; 
Like  a  silver  sword  in  darkness 

Came  the  cry  of  "Carry  On." 

And  they  carried  on  and  conquered, 

Though  the  very  earth  breathed  hell ; 
Yet  they  carried  on  and  conquered 

Through  the  heavy  shot  and  shell. 
As  they  carried  on  and  conquered, 

So  have  we  for  four  years  long 
Sung  the  war-song  of  all  knowledge 

To  the  cry  of  "Carry-On." 

As  we  carried  on  and  conquered 

In  life's  first  great  battles  here, 
Let  us  ever  press  on  further 

When  the  struggles  reappear 
When  we  go  away  to  college. 

Or  stray  elsewliei'e  far  from  home. 
Let  this  motto  always  guide  us, 

Carry  On!    0,  Carry  On!

GRACE  DUNN,    '22. 

HEN  oft  we  sit  at  eventide, 

When  shadows  'round  us  creep, 

And  every  star  a  friend  recalls 

From  some  deep  hidden  sleep. 

Some  wreaths  of  honor  now  my  wear, 

Some  boast  of  mighty  things; 

They  are  the  chums  who  helped  to  form 

The  best  of  friendship's  rings. 

When  the  shades  of  evening  fall, 

And  the  darkness  spreads  o'er  all, 

When  we're  feeling  rather  sad  and  lonely,  too. 

When  visions  old  arise. 

Tears  of  laughter  dim  our  eyes. 

As  we  think  of  all  the  pranks  we  used  to  do. 

Memory  keeps  them  safe  we  find. 

Memory  brings  them  all  to  mind, 

As  we  hum  this  chorus  through. 

We're  Red  and  White,  We  fight  and  fight, 

Never  daunted,  never  taunted; 

We're  the  grand  old  class  of  twenty- two.

"I 


am  a  senior, 

He  proudly  said; 
And  with  the  word 

He  raised  his  head. 


For  who  was  there 
On  this  great  earth 

Of  high  estate 
And  noble  birth. 

Could  quite  compare 
His  honor  and  fame 

With  the  smug  complacence 
Of  such  a  name! 

None  could  gainsay 
His  haughty  demands 

T'was  needful  only 
To  lift  a  hand. 

And  firmly  say 

With  calm  demeanor, 
' '  Out  of  my  way,  please, 

I  am  a  senior!"

CHE  D5ai53QN  LEAGUE 

ITHIN  the  last  ten  years  there  has  been  a  growing  realization 
on  the  part  of  educators  in  both  high  schools  and  colleges  that 
the  ability  to  discuss  intelligently  and  effectively  problems  of 
.importance  is  worth  cultivating.  In  even  the  ordinarj'  con- 
duct of  life,  much  is  gained  through  the  power  of  presenting 
not  only  in  correct  but  persuasive  English,  the  many  subjects 
that  continually  enlist  one's  attention.  So  in  order  to  make  the  young  people 
in  the  high  schools  more  alive  to  important  issues,  to  develop  in  them  the  habit 
of  investigation,  to  cultivate  the  willingness  to  consider  issues  from  many  view- 
points, to  stimulate  to  thought  and  to  enable  the  students  of  the  schools  to  ex- 
press their  opinions  in  an  effective  way,  some  very  interesting  means  have  been 
adopted,  a  number  of  which  make  use  of  that  spirit  of  contest  which  is  so  strong 
in  the  young  and  which,  rightly  giiided  and  stimulated  by  worthy  motives,  is 
a  power  for  good  and  for  greater  effectiveness. 

Desiring  to  do  what  it  could  to  encourage  greater  facility  in  discussion,  the 
Extension  division  of  Indiana  University  organized  a  few  years  ago  the  "State 
High  School  Discussion  League"  under  the  auspices  of  which  there  have  been 
held  many  interesting  discussions  on  subjects  of  vital  interest.  The  plan  adopted 
provides  for  the  study  of  the  given  subject  class  contests  in  which  represen- 
tatives are  chosen  for  a  final  local  contest,  a  county  discussion,  where  a  repre- 
sentative is  elected  for  the  district  meet,  and  finally  a  state  contest  at  Blooming- 
ton  where  a  committee  decides  on  the  winner  for  the  high  schools  of  Indiana. 

A  growing  interest  has  been  aroused  and  this  year  an  unusually  large  num- 
ber of  schools  were  represented  in  all  of  the  contests. 

The  subject  for  the  spring  of  1922  was  "A  Comprehensive  Program  for 
Immigration"  and  in  the  Shields  High  School  this  question  was  attacked  by 
many  students,  and  after  spirited  discussion  a  contest  was  held  in  which  Alice 
Foster  of  the  class  of  1922  was  chosen  to  represent  us  in  the  county  and  later 
in  the  district  contest  held  in  Seymour,  April  14. 

We  are  now  awaiting  the  announcement  of  the  subject  for  next  year. 

Another  interesting  oratorical  contest  was  held  at  the  high  school  on  the 
evening  of  April  22,  as  the  final  feature  of  the  day  on  which  was  held  the 
"County  Track  and  Field  Meet."  Eloise  Lee  brought  credit  to  us  by  the  de- 
lightful way  in  which  she  read. 

Friendly  rivalry,  an  unbiased  recognition  of  the  best,  a  sympathy  with  the 
triumph  of  others,  a  sportsmanship  that  will  make  us  abide  by  the  decision  of 
judges  even  when  adverse  to  us,  inculcate  a  spirit  that  is  most  worth  while,  and 
so  we  are  looking  forward  to  other  contests  of  a  similar  kind  for  nest  year.

Mr.  Mitchell 


The  Athletic  Association  was  reorgan- 
ized early  in  the  fall  of  1921  with  Lloyd 
Schafer  President ;  Grace  Dunn,  Secretary ; 
H.  C.  Henderson,  Faculty  Treasurer;  Ray 
Julian,  Student  Treasurer;  Oscar  Fenton, 
Student  Manager  and  J.  R.  Mitchell,  Fac- 
ulty Manager.  The  Board  of  Control  that 
was  chosen  was  composed  of  Miss  Andrews, 
Chairman;  Lloyd  Schafer,  H.  C.  Hender- 
son, and  J.  R.  Mitchell. 

Interclass  games  in  basketball  were  held 
earl}'  in  the  season  and  the  championship 
was  awarded  the  Seniors  by  their  victories 
over  the  Sophomores  and  Juniors. 

The  call  for  varsity  candidates  made  early,  was  answered  by  fifty-two 
boys.  Prospects  were  bright  for  a  successful  year  as  only  three  members 
were  lost  by  graduation  last  year.  With 
Deal,  Captain  Fenton  and  Banta  as  a 
nucleus  and  with  Barbour,  Misamore  and 
Miller,  reserves  from  last  year,  the  team 
got  off  to  a  good  start.  Sickness  and  in- 
eligibility on  the  part  of  some  of  the  regu- 
lars caused  a  slump  in  mid-season.  The  sea- 
son closed  with  17  games  won  and  10  lost. 

Five  men  are  lost  this  year,  but  with 
Hyatt,  Honan,  Keach,  Adams,  Misamore, 
Eckstein  and  McCord  left  from  this  year's 
squad  with  a  lot  of  good  material  to  be 
developed,  Seymour  should  be  represented 
by  a  strong  team  next  year.  Lloyd  Schafer

The  season  opened  with  a  boom  this  year.  Coach  Welch's  call  for  candidates 
was  answered  by  the  largest  number  in  history  and  a  strong  club  was  organized. 
Only  one  member  of  last  year's  squad  was  lost  by  graduation,  but  a  few  were 
lost  by  withdrawal  from  school.  However  with  Wilson,  star  southpaw  hurler 
of  last  season,  and  Capt.  Baldwin,  the  peppery  backstop,  the  outlook  seems 
bright.      Deal  and  Kaufman  are  the  only  members  lost  by  graduation  this  year. 

The  club  line-up  is  as  follows: 

Kaufman    L.  F. 

Baldwin,  Capt C. 

McClintock    3  B. 

Hyatt   2  B. 

Misamore   S.  S. 

Deal IB. 

Adams R.  F. 

Nicholson   C.  F.

Utilities:     Russell,  Johnson,  Cochran,  Becker,  Keach,  Malick  and  Welfer.

Oscar  Fenton 

Captain  Jim  was  our  fighting 
floor  guard  through  whose  efforts 
our  team  was  kept  fighting.  He 
was  the  main  factor  in  our  offen- 
sive and  defensive.  He  scored  230. 


Charles  Banta 

This  is  Shy's  last  year.  His 
willingness  to  work  hard  for  the 
team  and  his  good  floor  work 
made  him  a  big  factor  in  the 
team's    progress. 


Donald  Miller 

Miller  was  small  but  speedy,  yet 
he  would  not  allow  his  opponent 
to  get  rough  with  him.  He  made 
118  points. 


James  Honan 

Cut  was  sub  floor  guard  but 
when  ever  he  played  he  fought 
hard.  He  will  be  back  again  next 
year. 


Harold  Misamore 

Missy — although  his  name  does 
not  suggest  it,  had  a  mean  eye  for 
the  basket.  He  will  be  back  next 
year.    Total   points   scored    118. 


Charles  Keach 

Keachie  was  sub-center  and  on 
the  varsity  for  the  first  time.  His 
experience  will  make  him  a  valua- 
able  asset  for  the  team  next  year. 


Robert  Barbour 

Bob  was  our  stone  wall.  Any 
man  that  got  by  him  without  fall- 
ing over  his  stray  foot  was  a  real 
player. 


John  Deal 

Johnnie  was  handicapped  on  ac- 
count of  sickness  but  in  the  games 
he  scored  heavily,  making  in  all, 
120  points. 


rCNND 


Tennis  was  introduced  into  the  program  of 
Athletics  this  year  for  the  first  time.  Much 
interest  was  manifested  by  the  student  body. 
While  no  inter-school  meets  were  held,  we  hope 
to  meet  other  schools  next  year.  The  inter- 
class  contests  proved  interesting.  Donald  Miller 
and  Robert  McCord  won  the  championship  in 
doubles.  The  Sixth  Street  court  was  used. 
It  is  expected  that  tennis  will  be  one  of  the 
popular  forms  of  Athletics  next  fall. 


rmch 


Track  and  Field  work  was  introduced  for  the  first  time  in  several  years. 
Inexperience  and  lack  of  practice  and  interest  held  back  the  team.  The 
team  was  weak  in  field  events,  but  sprinters  and  runners  were  plentiful.  Next 
year  with  Ahlbrand,  Buhner,  Wilson  and  a  wealth  of  other  material,  Seymour 
will  resume  her  place  in  this  branch  of  sport.

VEVA  M.  PAUL. 

THERE  is  much  being  said  these  days  concerning  the  importance  of  voca- 
tional courses  in  the  high  school,  the  value  of  creating  early  in  each 
student  the  desire  for  contact  with  the  profession  he  wishes  to  follow. 

Drawing,  correctly  taught,  in  the  public  schools,  offers  the  highest  oppor- 
tunity for  self-expression  and  is  one  of  the  greatest  factors  in  the  building  up 
of  the  commercial  and  industrial  success  of  our  country. 

How  different  is  our  conception  of  the  drawing  course  today,  compared  with 
that  of  a  few  years  ago !  The  student  has  gradually  changed  his  idea  of  the  art 
course  from  the  hopeless  task  of  painting  so-called  "pictures"  to  the  instruction 
that  influences  his  choice  of  dress,  the  kind  of  home  he  will  build,  its  interior 
decoration,  its  gardening,  the  best  and  surest  advertising  plan  for  his  business. 
Drawing,  directed  in  such  lines  as  these,  creates  a  stimulating  interest  among 
the  students  and  answers  their  many  queries  as  to  the  reason  for  this  subject 
being  offered  and  the  value  of  the  same. 

Those  studying  art  might  be  classified  in  four  groups.  First ;  those  who 
are  truly  interested  and  expect  to  adopt  some  sort  of  art  v.'ork  for  their  career ; 
these  are  the  most  serious  and  valuable  students.  Second;  those  who  have  en- 
joyed it  in  the  grades  and  wish  to  continue  it  further  in  high  school  in  order  to 
apply  the  knowledge  gained  in  every  day  life  and  to  develop  a  high  appreciation 
of  the  beautiful.  Some  of  these  develop  ability  and  decide  to  choose  it  for  their 
career.  Third;  those  who  think  it  an  easy  way  to  obtain  credits  because  they 
think  no  brain  is  required  for  the  work,  and  Fourth;  the  dabblers  in  china 
painting,  magazine  covers  and  the  like.  This  division  is  most  difficult  to  handle 
because  they  feel  that  they  are  already  expert  in  their  line  and  refuse  to  believe 
that  it  is  necessary  to  know  the  fundamental  principles  of  art  before  there  can 
be  success  in  specialization.  The  true  mission  of  an  art  course  is  to  instruct,  not 
to  amuse.  Unless  the  department  is  considered  as  important  as  any  other  in  a 
school,  it  should  be  dropped  from  the  curriculum  entirely. 

This  year  unusual  interest  has  been  shown  in  poster  making,  this  particular 
phase  being  offered  several  times  in  the  form  of  contests.  Prizes  were  awarded 
by  the  Seymour  Library  for  the  best  posters  advertising  State  Library  Week. 
The  South  Bend  Library  has  awarded  prizes  and  received  the  entire  collection  of 
posters  for  two  successive  years.  Many  local  plays,  minstrels,  sales  and  exhibits 
received  help  in  advertising  and  decorating  from  our  drawing  department. 

A  pleasant  spirit  of  helpfulness  and  co-operation  exists  among  the  students 
of  the  drawing  department,  a  deeper  interest  than  ever  before  is  being  mani- 
fested in  the  art  course  and  it  is  with  pleasure  and  eagerness  that  future  classes 
look  forward  to  a  better  located  and  completely  equipped  department.

THE  HERO    (Nit) 


Aeneas   came   from   Ancient   Troy, 

A  warrior  bold  was  he, 
An  altho'   I  never  saw  him, 

There's  a  feud  twixt  him  and  me. 


"Oh  Aeneas !    How  you  wrong  us. 
Why  did  you  roam  the  sea? 

Can't  you  see  it  means  an  ocean  more. 
Of   homework   left   for  me?" 


'21 — Mr.  Ackerman,  can  you  punish  anyone  for  something  he  has  not  done? 

L.  A. — No,  why?

LAMENT    IN    GEE   MAJOR 


Don't  tell  me  school  is  all  a  snap, 
To  think  it  makes  me  blue , 

For  thirty  credits  have  I  got. 
Instead   of   thirty-two. 


Don't   tell  me  life  is  Rosy  Pink, 
Or  any  other  joyous  hue; 

For  next  year  will   I  graduate. 
Instead   of    in    Twenty-two.

MY  FIRST  HUNT 
The  first  bird  I  shot  was  a   squirrel.     The  first  time  I   shot  him  I  missed  him.     The 
second  time  I  hit  him  in  the  same  place.     Then  I  got  sore  and  threw  a  rock  at  him  and 
killed  him.     Then  he  fell  in  the  river  and  drowned.     That  was  the  first  bird  I  ever  shot.

EVEN  AS  YOU  AND  I 


A  Freshie  there  was  and  he  went  to  school, 

(Even   as  you   and   I) 
He  started  wrong  and  he  found  a  lass. 
Ever>-  afternoon  they  cut  a  class. 
Then  finals  came  and  they  didn't  pass. 

(Even   as  you  and  I) 

A  Sophie  there  was  and  he  smoked  cigarettes. 

(Even   as  you  and   I) 
He  tried  to  study,  but  to  be  frank, 
He  soon  found  that  his  mind  was  a  blank, 
And  lower  and  lower,  his  grades  all  sank. 

(Even   as  you  and  I) 


A  Junior  there  was  who  played  basketball. 

(Even   as  j'ou  and   I) 
As  a  back  guard  he  was  much  intent, 
But  never  much  on  his   studies  bent 
And  so  to  the  tourney  he  was  not  sent. 

(Even   as  you  and  I) 

A  Senior  there  was  and  he  studied  hard, 

(Even   as  you  and  I) 
He  studied  early,  he  studied  long. 
He  knew  to  skip  for  a  show  was  wrong, 
Soon  he'll  sing  his  commencement  song, 

(Even  as  you  and  I) 

Lloyd  Schafer,  '22. 


Miss  McHenry— We  will  now  have  oral  reading. 

H.  D.  H.— What  kind  is  there  but  oral?

Owen— Yes,  sir. 

AY,  THERE'S  THE  RUB! 
It  isn't  the  can  that  annoys  the  dog. 

It's  the  fact  that  its  tied  to  its  tail. 
It  isn't  your  subjects  that  make  life  hard, 

Its  the  number  of  them  that  you  fail. 


Mr.    Mitchell    (in   manual   training   test) — "Can   any   of 
you  boys  name  some  laying  out  tools?" 
Geo.  Burrell — "Yeh,  a  billy-club." 


In  days  of  old. 

Knights   were  bold 

And  many  adventures  sought. 

In  days  of  now 

We  wonder  how. 

To  skip  and  not  get  caught. 


Miss  Paul — "Gorden,  rulers  have  two  uses.    Shall  I  give 
an  example  of  the  other  one?" 


Miss  Geile — Grace,  if  you'll  take  that  gum  out  of  your  mouth,  I'll  enjoy  it. 


Honan — What  will  you  give  me  for  this  tie? 
McCord — Anything  to  keep  you  from  wearing  it. 


I  am  a  social  butterfly

I  sing  most  everything. 

And  oft  in  select  circles 
You  can  hear  my  praises  ring. 


THE  BUTTERFLY 

My  face  I  give  the  best  of  care. 

Massage  it  every  mom, 
My  hair  I  perfume  every  hour 

With  fragrant  Eau  de  Jome. 

The  world  approves  my  graceful  style 
On  street  or  dancing  floor. 

You  must  know   I'm  a  wonder 
'Cause  I  couldn't  be  any  more.

So  I  make  up  my  sleep

A  high  school  boy  came  in  one  day  Then  when  he  thought  he'd  like  a  drink.

He  thought  he'd  surely  starve  until  And  smacked  his  pencil  on  the  desk 

He   had   a  happy  hunch.  And  drank  some  of  the  pop. 


For  when  the  teacher  called  the  roll, 
He  snatched  a  piece  to  eat, 

And  made  a  sandwich  out  of  it, 
With   a  piece   of  our   track   meet. 


The    noise    he    made    broke    up    the    meal, 

For  the  teacher  now  alert 
Came  down  and  yanked  him  from  his  seat, 

And  gave  him  his  dessert. 

Neal  Hennessy,  8-A. 


Teacher — What !  Did  you  come  to  class  without 
your  pencil?  What  would  you  think  of  a  soldier 
without  a  gun? 

Charles  K. — I'd  think  he  was  an  officer. 


Mule  in  the  back  yard,  lazy  and  slick. 
Boy  with  a  pin  on  the  end  of  a  stick, 
Creeps  up  behind  him  quiet  as  a  mouse.

E.  C. — May  I  change  my  seat? 
Mr.  Due — You  can  move,  but  you  better  leave  the 
seat  there. 


Mr.  Mitchell  is  a  basketball  fan, 
Mr.  Due   is  a  baseball   fan. 

We    deduce,    therefrom,    that   Mr.    Phillips   is    an 
electric  fan. 


THE    IDEA    »3    TO     KNOCK 
5OMCB00Y    DOWN 


A  FRESHMAN'S  DESCRIPTION  OF  HIS  FIRST  BASKETBALL  GAME 

Well,  pretty  soon  a  bunch  of  fellers  came  runnin'  out  in  swimmin'  suits.     They  went 

down  at  one  end  of  the  room  where  there  was  a  hoop  hangin'  from  the  wall  and  began  to 

go  round  and  round  each  in  turn  trj'in'  to  throw  a  big  rubber  ball  in  the  hoop.     Once  in  a 

while  one  of  the  boys  was  lucky  and  would  axidently  get  the  ball  in  the  hoop,  then  all  the 

people  lookin'  on  would  yell  his  name  a  lot  and  some 
stuff  after  it  j'ou  couldn't  understand,  and  the  guy 
what  did  the  deed  would  prance  around  with  his 
chest  out,  looking  as  though  he  owned  the  Masonic 
Temple. 

While  all  this  was  going  on,  another  crew  of  fellers 
had  been  doin'  the  same  thing  at  the  other  end  of 
the  room. 

After  these  guys  had  run  until  they  were  worn 
out,  some  fella  came  runnin'  out  from  the  grand- 
stand blowin'  a  mail-carrier's  whistle,  he  was  dressed 
in  a  band-man's  pause,  and  was  in  his  shirt  sleeves. 
There's  only  suppoed  to  be  five  fellas  on  each 
team  but  this  guy  with  the  whistle  counted  them  to 
be  sure,  then  he  blew  his  whistle  and  the  fight  begun. 
The  object  of  the  game,  is  to  throw  somebody 
down,  take  the  ball  away  from  him  and  throw  it 
through    the   hoop. 

Sometimes  the  whistler  don't  like  the  way  you  do 
it  so  he  takes  the  ball  away  from  you  and  gives  the 
other   fellers  a  chance  to   get   it  by  throwing  it  up 
and  letting  you  scramble  for  it  all  over  again. 
If  you   throw   the   ball   into   the   hoop   before  the   whistler 
catches  you,  you  get  2  points  but  this  don't  do  much  good  for 
if  he  sees  one  side's  gettin'  too  far   ahead,  he  whistles  and  gives 
the  ball  to  the  under  side  who  get  a  free  chance  to  throw  it 
through  the  hoop. 

Once  in  a  while  a  gladiator  gets  knocked  out  for  the  count, 
this  don't  stop  the  game  long,  the  whistle  just  gets  another 
guy  to  take  his  place,  announces  the  date  of  the  funeral  and 
goes  on  plaj'in.' 

The  side  having  the  biggest  fellers  always  wins  because  they 
can  stay  in  the  battle  longer  without  losin'  so  many  teeth  and 
also  they've  got  the  reach  on  the  little  guys. 

No  side  can  win  a  game  by  the  eliminate  process  because  no 
difference  how  many  guys  gets  mortally  wounded,  there  is  al- 
ways more  to  jump  in  and  take  their  places. 

Generally  after  a  game,  all  the  fellers  are  so  weak  that 

they  have  to  be  carried  off  the  field  on  a  piece  of  bristle  board. 

There's  a  difference  between  a  close  game  and  a  good  game. 

Scores  of  good  games  are  like  90-2   or  88-21   providin'   the 

home  team  has  the  heavy  end  of  this  score. 

Close  games  are  games  where  each  man  knocks  an  equal 
number  of  opponents  out,  and  the  score  is  like  the  score  of 
an  extra  inning  baseball  game  called  on  account  of  darkness. 

After  close  games  the  two  teams  generally  have  to  order    AFTER  fl  CL05[    SflMf  THEY

A  Dip  Into  the  Future 

"Well,  look  who's  here!     Owen  Carter!" 

"Bob  Barbour — 'pon  my  word,  of  all  people !  Who'd  a'  thot  we'd  a'  met  here !  Sit 
down,  man !  Haven't  seen  you  since — say  do  you  realize,  Barbour,  since  the  year  we  gradu- 
ated !     You  haven't  changed  a  bit." 

"Nor  you   either,  except   for  those   red   whiskers !     What   are   you   doing   these   days, 

Carter?     I  guess   I   can   sit  down  a  while — have  a  concert  on  at  eight   at  the   town   hall. 

Celloist,  you  know,  in   "Metropolitan   Stringed  Quartette."     Account   for  yourself.  Carter." 

"We — 11,    I'm   Justice   of   the   Peace,    Sheriff   here   in   Clearspring,   a   real   good   doctor 

and  oh  yes,   married!     You  know   Frances?" 

"Not    Frances    Gill?" 

"Yes,  but  you  mean  Frances  Carter.  We're  happy  as  larks !  Say  Barbour,  whatever 
has  become  of  some  of  the  old  class  of  '22?  We  might  as  well  have  a  little  class  meeting 
right   here   and  now." 

"Well,  I'll  tell  all  I  know,  and  you  might  put  in  once  in  a  while !" 
"All   right,   spiel!     Who'll   we  begin   with?" 

"Might  as  well  take  up  Brunow   Ahlbrand,  because  I   bumped  into  him  the  other  day 
in  Detroit.    Private  assistant  to  Henry  Ford.     I  always  knew  Brunow  had  a  head  on  him." 
"Henry   Ford  !     Well  that's   fine  !" 

"Oh,  I  see  'em  scattered  here  and  there  from  time  to  time.  You  remember  Francis 
Fettig?  Traveling  man  for  Campbell's  Soups,  and  he  sure  gets  the  money.  There's 
Francis  Geile — saw  his  name  in  a  New  York  paper  the  other  day.  He's  joined  the  Brown 
Brothers'  Sextette  and  is  blowing  his  way  to  fame.  Our  own  little  quartette  travels  around 
a  good  deal,  and  that's  why  I   happen  to  meet  all  of  them." 

"It  sure  sounds  good.  Bob,  to  hear  what  some  of  the  Red  and  White's  are  doing. 
I  happened  to  go  to  Seymour  the  other  day  and  found  Shy  Banta  and  Robert  Mann 
running  a  department   store   together.     They  bought   out   Gladstein's." 

"Well  say.  Carter,  didn't  you  know  that  Lawrence  Hatfield  lives  just  up  here  at 
Columbus?  He  opened  a  law  office  recently.  He's  in  with  John  Hunter.  The  shingle 
reads  "Hunter  and  Hatfield."  If  you've  been  reading  some  of  the  city  newspapers  you've 
probably  noticed  Alice  Foster's  name  a  lot.  She  rivals 
Susan  B.  Anthony  and  is  a  deep,  dyed-in-the-wool  speaker 
for  women's  rights.  I  guess  she's  responsible  for  Stella 
Hallowell's  and  Marie  Kysar's  being  in  the  cabinet.  It 
wouldn't  be  at  all  surprising  to  see  one  of  them  the  first 
woman  president  some  of  these  days.  Then  maybe  all  of 
us  '22'ers  would  get  government  positions. 

"Why  Barbour,  you're  full  of  news !     Go  on,  tell  me 
some  more." 

"Well,  let's  see !  Speaking  of  notoriety,  I  heard 
Louise  Werning  sing  in  a  big  concert  in  Chicago  last 
month.  Fern  Rhodes  is  her  accompanist.  They  told  me 
they  had  joined  a  party  of  musicians  that  Grace  Dunn  is 
going  to  conduct  on  a  round-the-world  tour.  And  say 
Carter,  Chester  Fill  is  the  head  of  a  boys  boarding 
rifiST  WOriRn  preside HT  school  in  the  East.  Doesn't  that  beat  you."  They  tell  me 
he  has  written  a  treatise  on  "Boys  and  Their  Discipline." 
"Gee,  I  can't  get  over  that !  Well  here's  one  that  may  surprise  you.  My  wife  came 
back  from  a  visit  in  Indianapolis  the  other  day,  and  she  said  she  heard  Dorothy  Smith  give 
a  lecture  to  the  Chamber  of  Commerce.  She's  a  prominent  club-women  and  is  making 
speeches  all  over  the  state." 

"Dot  Smith!     Well,  I'll  be  hanged!     What's  her  name  now?" 

"Don't  know !  I've  forgotten.  I  remember  it  was  hard  to  pronounce  and  sort-a'  aristo- 
cratic-sounding. I  suppose  you've  lost  track  of  'Coffee'  but  I've  but  I've  kept  pretty  close 
tab  on  him.  You  know  he  went  to  Yale — well,  he's  teaching  there  now.  He's  the  greatest 
living  'Master  of  Dead  Languages'  and  has  written  volumes  on  'How  to  Read  and  Enjoy 
Virgil.' " 


BfRnuofl   or^ioti  cumvflrOR 


"Really,  Carter?     Well  what  about  'Hamburg'  Wesner  and  Kysar?" 
"They're  both  in  vaudeville.     You  remember  they  got  their  start  in  this  line  in  the  '22 
history  class !     They  acting  now  in  the  St.  Louis  Winter  Gardens." 

"Well  if  that's  so,  maybe  I'll  run  on  to  them  sometime. 
Did  you  know  that  Jim  Fenton — (prepare  for  the  shock), 
has  gone  to  Bermuda  to  take  up  onion  growing?     He  left 
not  long  ago !    Yes,  you  and  I  both  thought  of  Pete  Julian 
at  the  same  time.     He's  married  isn't  he?" 
"Yep,  you  remember  Mary  Brown!" 
"Really?     Where  are  they  now?" 
"Why  they're   running  a   farm-journal   called   Prairie 
Farmer   or    somethin'    or   other   in    the   northern   part    of 
Illinois,  I  believe." 

"Don't  say  so!     Anybody  else  before  the  public?" 
"Sure !    Agnes   Riordan   is   in   the   movies   and   is   an 
inhabitant   of   Hollywood,   and    Emalyn    Collins   has   been 
rivaling    Sarah   Bernhardt.     You    remember  her   as   Aunt 
Mary?    John  Deal  and  Constance  Adams  have  good  roles 
in  this  year's   Follies !     So  we  are  sure   well   represented 
over  the  footlights !" 
"Any  more  dope?" 
"Yes,  let  me  think !     Kathryn  Kirsch  and  Mathilde  Kessler  are  trying  to  preserve  peace 
on  New  York  Streets,  for  have  you  heard  !    They  are  police-women ! 

"Police  women !  Gee,  Bob,  how  do  you  get  all  this  news !  They  tell  me  Carl  Malick  is 
teaching   science  in   some  high   school." 

"Speaking  of  police-women  reminds  me  to  inform  you  that  Florence  Becker  is  the 
present  mayoress  of  Peoria,  Illinois." 

"Well  it  doesn't  seem  possible  we're  all  so  famous  I     Take  me,  for  instance." 
"Now,  old  boy,  don't  try  to  work  on  my  sympathies.     By  the  way,  where's  Eloise?" 
"Why,  Eloise  and  Margaret  Riehl  have  a  beauty  parlor  in  Cortland.    Their  main  adver- 
tisement is  'look  what  it  did  for  me.'     Edith  Beukman  has  an  e'lite  hat  shop  in  Cincinnati 
that  is  quite  select,  my  wife  tells  me." 
"Where's  Paula?" 
"Teaching  dancing   in  Hawaii." 
"And  Gladys  Lee?     Isn't   she  teaching?" 
"Yes — at    Peter's    Switch — English    history.      They 
say  she's  perfectly  devoted  to  her  subject.   Gladys  Breit- 
field   did    study   dramatic   art   but   now   she's  practicing 
domestic  art.     She's  married  and  lives  at  Hayden." 

"Ruth  Robertson  is  near  here  too,  at  Hangman's 
Crossing.     She  raises  Angora  cats   for  market." 

"Cats!  Cats,  history,  vaudeville!  Some  versatility! 
Have  I  told  you  I  met  Helen  Blevins  Carter  in  a  town 
in  Illinois,  where  we  were  giving  a  concert  ?  She  lives 
on  a  big  farm  and  is  an  authority  on  truck-gardening 
for  miles  around.  We  had  a  talk  and  she  told  me  some 
news  about  Donald  Miller  and  Lloyd  Schafer,  'Dado,' 
you  remember." 
"Quick,  tell  it!" 

"Donald  is  fast  becoming  a  celebrated  evangelist. 
Yes,  evangelist,  I  said  !  LIo3'd  is  his  song  leader.  They 
stopped  in  Helen's  town  some  time  ago  for  revival  ser- 
vices. She  said  she  heard  Hershall  Ruddick  give  a 
political  speech  from  the  rear  of  a  train.  He's  cam- 
paigning for  senator  there  in  Illinois.  Paul  Kamman 
is   running  against  him." 

"Well  its  getting  late.     I'll  have  to  run  along  to  the  concert. 
Its  been  great  to  see  you  !" 

"Yes,  you  bet.  I'll  be  there!  I  have  tickets  for  the  front  seat.  Do  your  best  for  '22! 
What's  that  old  motto  of  ours,  'Come  on'— 'go  on',  no!  'Carry  on.'  That's  the  stufiF! 
S'long,   Bob."
