In CMemoriam

ANNIE E. BAILEY

We, the Junior Class of Pennell, wish to pay our last respects to Miss Annie E. Bailey.

In 1919-1920 Miss Bailey taught at Pennell and, under her supervision, the first edition of the WHIRLPOOL came out in 1919.

Miss Bailey had a distinctive teaching career and in 1926 was given the award as the outstand- ing teacher in the State of Maine.

She spent many years of her life in Gray and will remain in the hearts of the townspeople as one of its outstanding citizens.

She passed away April 11, 1937,

Stick-to-it-iveness

Jim Fisher had como to Smith University a year before, Although his parents were not very wealthy and would have to enduro many hardships, he was sont to his father's Alma Mater. Everything had goné well, until about two months from the end of his first year, Then in one of his father's letters he read this: "Our financial situation is desperate. I am afraid you will have to come home." Jim wrote right back and this is what his father read: "I wouldn't come home now if I were paid to. I will make out somehow."

His father wondered at this, but when Jim came home at the end of the year he told his father a very queer story, which made his father very proud. This was Jim's story:

"Immediately upon my arrival at college Jack Johnson, the millionaire's son and his crowd began to taunt mee I was not as good as they because I roomed at the 'poorhouse! and ate at Mrs. Murphy's dining room. They called me a Ysissy' and many other names. It made me angry and now I've decided to go back next fall and beat them at their own game, football."

"But son, I have no money to send you to college," replied the father sor- rowfully,

"I don't care, father, I heve a job at college. I wait on the training table at meals and every day I tend furnaces about the college."

"Well, son, it's up to yous If you think you can manage it, I'l] help you all I can."

When September came, Jim again started for Smith University. When he are rived, the first thing he did was to add his name to the list of football vole unteers, posted on the bulletin board. Next day was the first practise, at two-thirty in the afternoon, Jim got there early but at the appointed time he found many other boys there and ho began to wonder how he could ever make good, but he stayed. The boys were told to report to the difforent coaches and as- sistantse Jim went to the backfield coach and told him that he would like to try out for the right halfback position, for that was the position that Jack Johnson hzldon the varsity.

Jim knew nothing about football but he had a fine mind and paid attention every minute. Jim had a wonderful body, broad shoulders, slim hips, and well muscled legs. Although Jim had such a body as this ho had always been a stu- dent not an athicto, but he wes destined to change his ways.

He developod very quickly into a good football player, all he needed was experience, In his sophomore year Jim playcd in only o few games. He played two full games, while Jack Johnson was recovering from a sprained ankle he had received in a football gamee Ho went in for a few minutes in nearly overy games Jack Johnson did not think much about it but in Jim's junior year Jack became alarmed at finding himself on the bench more and moro, He plottcd against Jim and the coach but he was found out and expelled from college.

Jim then played all the gamos, He was the best all round player that had

been known in the last twenty years of football. In his junior and senior ycars he was named as "All-American ployer" for both ycars, a feat never before accomplished at Smith University

The Convict Ship

One day, sevcral yoars ago, a convict ship docked at the State Pier in Portland, Maince This ship was of tho old Norwegian windjammer type ond had taken sixty days to cross tho Atlantic Ocean. The officers who sailed the ship, slept on the main deck because of the gruesomeness of the lower deckg,

Es d ', This old ship was built during the 18 hundreds in lielbourne, Australia and is still sailing,

The masts were built of teak, the hardest wood known, The hulk is of planks several inches in thickness and from bow to stern on both sides there were large, crude arrow heads, These arrows vere also printed on the sails,

It was the ship's mark and every prisoner was branded with it on the palm of his hend,

About midships of the mein deck is the captain's quarters, In here are several cocuments, rules and orders, guns and swords on display. All over the dock are capatans for raising and lowering the sails and anchors and the only windlass in existence, Around the bulwarks ore many instruments of torture; most of them designed by the one-time captain, Captain Price. The helmsman's post is in the stern and is protected by a large steel casing from stormse

Down on the first deck is the first sot of cells. These are very small, being only about 6 to 8 feet square. Ir many of the cclls are wax figures of the most notorious criminals of the day. These figures are claimed to be the most life-like in the world, In the bow of the deck is the women's cell, This is a large room heavily barred. There was little light in the cells and what there was came through a small grating in the top of the door, from a few lampSe For ventilation there are about four gratings cut in cach dock, Some of the cells, in times when there were many lewbrenkers, were filled with 8 or 9 people.

The second deck is much the same except for two things. In the bow of this deck is kept the drinking water. Also the first two colls were dreaded by all prisoners. These were called "The Black Holcs", In these the bow of the ship curved. In the side of the cell was a large ring. To this the convict was handcuffed by one arm so that he was half-standing and half lying. It was in these two cells that many mon went insane.

The third deck is below the waterline. In those cells the prisoners were put in solitary confinement, “They werc dark, cold and damp, and many also wont insane here,

Now back to the main deck, -The convicts each day were given an hour's exercise, Each had a ball ond chain and were forced to keep walking. If any~ one did not obey orders he was flogged severely. The person was tied to a y-shaped object and all the other prisoners gave him one lash with oach hand» Afterwards they were placed in a salt bathe In tho bath several men drowned themselves, Once a guard had just been married. One evening he brought his

ce c AERE gr ee ee ee eee ee ee ee

wife on board and left her in his cabine <A prisoner who had a grudge against him oscaped somchowe When the guard went off duty he returned to find his wife on tho bed with her throat slashed. Thc murderer was found and was hung,

In those days a person was arrested and sent on a convict ship for just

some small thinge Once a woman was sent on one just for stealing a smell handkerchicfe

There was once a whole fleet of these convict ships which sailed all the seas, but now the Melbourne is the only one in existence.

Showing The Way E

After Columbus had reached what he believed was the Orient by ‘soiling westward, some cf his critics declared that it was a vory easy thing to dos Taking on egg, he asked how many could make it stand on its ende No one could; " so; he broke the shell a little on one end and easily made it balance, Then they said that anyone could do that. "Yes," he said, "it is easy after you are shown how," Columbus did not become rich or popular for his discovery and even died in jaile After it was discovered that the new world was a sep- arate continent it was named for another man, Columbus had shown the way; it was up to others to explore it. ;

Until 1927 it was thought impossible to make a solo airplane flight across the Atlantic, After Col, Lindbergh did the supposedly impossible,. many others have done it. After Lindbergh had shown the way it was easy for others to follow,

Almost anyone can follow someone else's exemple. Too often people think, "I could have done thot," about some great accomplishment. Maybe others besides Columbus could have reached America first but it took him to actually do ita Perhaps othors besides Lindbergh could have made solo flights across the Atlan- tic but it remained for him to show the ways We should try to show the way in

our lives and not wait for others to go first. We should lead, not follow. Only in this way can we become true leaders.

EE a de xc Untidiness

) Untidiness is a very disagreeable word that covers a broad range of sub- jects. Ono might apply it to clothes, work, writing, city conditions and per- sonal appearance, °

It is usually the lazy, careless person that has this dreadful habit, the person that gets up at one minute to eight and expects to be at work by eight, while on the other hand it may be a person that lacks education in good-groom- inge No matter how poor a person may be, ragged clothes may be clean and the person respected as much, if not more than the wealthy mane R

There is not one single good reason for a person being so slack as to pin his clothes together with safety or common pins. Getting scratched is not pleasant, and I'm sure every one could secure necdle and thread at any timce Other common habits of peoplo are: failing to shine dusty shoes, failing to replace shoe strings that have been broken and tied in a million places. Be- sides wasting timc, o person is only meking himself more untidy» Hair that is combed, fingcernnils cleanod, skirts ond pants that have boen pressed, sweaters that have been mended even though thoy cover up dirty elbows, that also applying to stockings that cover up unsightly heels, have a great effect on other people.

One»of the first things on employer asks ond looks for in an applicant is his personal habits and officiency.

If a person isn't tho kind that can take criticism in good sport, somo advice to him is to keop well groomed, ; -

It is said by some toachers that to look into a pupil's desk will reveal the habits and nature of o pupil, For example, if a dirty, clutterod desk 15 found chances are a pupil's room-at home would be untidy.

Whilo speaking of school, books that have been scribbled on, possibly due

—————— EE DEESBSEEBIDIGÁGv|/iatd—dMAMMII

to nervousness 211 show a person's habits, No one wants to read a book or paper thet is blotted, with two or three colors of ink on it and dirty fingerprints on the paper. That person will have to master a great deal in this subject of un- tidiness if he wants to succeed and be able to earn a livinge

Untidiness in the homes and streets make excellent places for brecding disease germs, Filth is germ's boarding house until tho germ finds a place on the body or in food, Cities ond health departments have helped in lessening :. these unsanitary conditions by health crusades and organizations.

One of the most helpful hints, I think, that have made people self-con- scious is the advortisemont of "B.O." Even if a person is not guilty of this offence he takes it to heart.

We should 211 have "tidiness" for our pass word.

Peace

Every country, state, and person begs for peace, yet our great governments are having a race for war» Many societies have been formed to prevent war. dust before the World War there were over one hundred of these societies,

Their solgan was: "We will stop this war by keeping out of it," but after we were forced to enter, the societies thon changed their slogan to: "We will stop the war by winning it."

Not so long ago a peace conference was hold in one of tho Centra] American states, tho object of this gathering was that every country could express its ideas on the reduction of tho army nnd navy and the slowing up of building new Ships. After each speaker hed voiced his idea, a small, tanned man arose, ade dressed the officers, then mado the move that each country should disarm come pletely. The other members were overwholmed! How should he dare to even sug- gest this at a peace conference?

People say that we are directly hcaded for war and if it over docs come we will be much worse off, than after the Great War, If that is truc I don't see how these conditions and countries would have the least idea of causing trouble. Everyone suffered, and still we are suffering, from the resultse

I om a girl, but if I wore a boy I om sure I would hate to think that when I was a bit older I would have to join the army and suffer all the war tortures instead of making somcthing of a career to help bring peace and

happiness e -- Marie Pousland.

High Schools

The present school system as it is today had its beginning three hundred years ago with the establishment of the Boston Latin School. This gave to the Amcrican people the principle of free public education; an opportunity for each individual to receive training in the subjects that are so necessary for every- duy living. We have found it feasible to meet the expenditures of the school system by taxation, that is, by taxing the people and they are being educated more end more, As time goes on, they are being educeted in the achievements, and possibilitios that can be accomplished through the proper management and workings of a well balancod system,

Why did children hate to go to school in the "Good Old Days"? Toke a look back and see what they wont through while trying to secure an educations They

had to walk to school, which might be anywhere, from one to five miles awaye When they got thoro they sat on benches with no backs. They studiod Mathomat- ics, English, Geography, Latin, and Greok, many of which held no interest for the normal boy or girl, This was not all, they generally had to suffor from the cold during the winter. I do not mention the summer becouse very few pupils went to school in the summer. They stayed at home and worked. was the only school session for theme You may ask: "Well, don't they hate to go to school now?" I don't think so as a rule, There is too much to interest them in school nowe For instance, thore are sports. Every school has athletic teams of somo sort, and is there any bey or girl who is not intercsted in sports? The subjects taught in the High Schools of today are somewhat different ^ from those taught in the paste We still have English, Arithmetic, History ond . ““oography, but we have added to the curricula, such subjects as Home Economics and iignunl Training. There was little money spent on education when our grand- parents went to school. The schoolhouse was a small and cheaply constructed building. It was built sometimes for as little as six hundred dollarse Tha only expenses of running it were for fuel and for a teachere The wood was often supplied by some farmer who sent his children there and the teacher generally taught for his board ot some of the pupils! homes; so, the running expenses were small, To-day, tho cost of running a school is very high. There hes to be heat, light, pencils, paper, books, teachers, janitors, and many other things which help to incur exponsce Large schools, which teach such subjects as biol- ogy, chemistry and physics have to have special laboratories for these classes. This may give you some idea of the cost of running a modern high school. Of course the expense is tremendous, but isn't it worth it? As timc goes on it is hoped thnt the public High Schools throughout the United States will

continue to improve and give to the future generations all they could hope to have along the line of training for education and culture.

Safety First

"Safety First" driver,

Whon walking, always walk on the left m nd side of the road, When a car comes toward you, step off the rond enough if necessary so that they will not hit you,

A driver should obscrve all traffic rules, He does not have to drive as

or maim them for life, thereby brcaking up homes and causing much suffering and sadnosse

Much is being done by traffic officors ond "safety drive" directors to eliminate these terrible accidents that nro happoning all around use

The fault does not alymys lie with the driver. Many times children and sometimes older peoplo do not pay attention when they aro crossing tho strocte Children are being taught in school to be careful when crossing the street.

arents who allow children to play in the street are not only endangering the life of the child but also the lives of the driver and occupants of the cay, that tries to avoid hitting him,

Some of the faults of the pedestrians aro: dodging out between parked

Base sue ee Transportation and Communication

Since time immemorial, man has used some method of signaling: through spaces Cyrus the Great is knovn to have used a mysterious system of signals by which he could send a message ecross the Persian Empire in one day, e dis- tance which could not be covercd by a horseman in less than thirty dayse Roman soldiers sent signals by moving their shields into a definite position or by flashing them in the sunlight.

The Amcrican Indian built a smoke tire on a hilltop to send signals. .

Biblical history contains many references to smoke signals and it is belicved that signals were sent in this manner from the Tower of Babel. ,

The Semaphore System of communication, called the tclegraph, was later used,

Hone of these methods could bo emplcyed at night or even in the dey time with low visibility,

Communication at night, by flashing lights has been in use for many cene turiose It is believed that the Chinese first started this mothod,

Paul Revere in 1775 aroused the Minute Men between Boston and Concord by signal lamps in the belfry of the old North Church,

Later, guns, cannons and bells were used as signals,

The fact thnt clectricity could be sent through a wire of considerable length was first demonstrated by Stephen Gray in 1729, but it did not occur to him that he had mado a great discovery e '

The discovery of electro-magnetism by Oerstod in 1820 may be said to have been the culminating episode in the development cf the clectric telegraphe

The electric telegraph was realized at last as the result of a chence conversation between Samuel F. B. Morse and Dr, Charles T. Jackson,

At first it was a crude method but it became more and more modern as time went one Finally from tho men's chance conversation, the ocoon telegraph sprung up, the fire alarm telegraph, the telephone which was introduced by Alexander Graham Bell and Albert Marconi nn Italian Scicntiste

All these methods have boon improved immensely as time went one. One thing more is being developed quickly, that is television which enables us to see the performers of the radio as well as hear them,

In years to como there will be many more improvements which will make us look upon the inventions of our time as very crude rather than very modern, as we suppose todaye

Forseverance

Perseverance is ability to continue in a given course in the face of dis- courasement. This ability is a common trait of all great mene When all seems to go wrong they kept on by force of will, sometimes obstinately, against op- position and remonstrance. Not giving way to opposition, nor to seemingly immovable difficulties which block the path to success, they strove on only seeing their goale

Such was the life of many a successful man; Napoleon, Hannibal, and Wash- ington as conmanders; Washington, Lincoln, Cacsar, and Jefferson as politicians and statesmen; Pasteur as o scientist; and, Franklin as a business mane To all these in the past and to many others belongs one of the most necessary human attributes,

Nor were only people of the past blessed with this great traite No, not at all; for many men of high station at the present time only gained thoir position through struggle and the hard climb to reach the tope

Sut not all are famous by any means, although, by perseveráng,, fame is helped. If one perseveres he can do many othor things which others, more impatient, givc up as useless, in disgust and other helplessness e is a close friend of patience, and forcofullness, j

Perseverance bears great reward, if not in material gains, in the satis- fying kmowledge that as much as possible has been done to complete the desig-

nated work, So, when éver possible, let perseverance help you in succeedinge Adhere to the possibilities perseverance offers, -- and succecd 1

Perseverance

Work

The majority of people find that work is very todious and monotonous e Some of us seem to think that life becomes humdrum with working day after daye Perhaps we never stop to think what we might do if we had no work to performs there are some who like to shun work and shift it onto the next fellow's shoulders. What would hoppen if everyone maintained that attitude? Many people who have had no work and nothing to occupy their minds have strayed along the wrong paths and cortainly have not proyed themselves worthy of lifee To illustrate the evils of idleness we may take the childwof a wealthy man. If he is not properly taught ond trained the right habits and taught to do for himsolf he seldom docs onything truly great. We wore nll put hore to accomplish some-

thing in life but if we don t know how to go about to accomplish anything we are lost, -

Usually & person, when ho gets along in years, likes to think back and think of the worthwhile things ho has done and if ho has done many, he has 4 feeling of contentment ond satisfaction, On tho other hand, if ho has led a hectic worthless lifo he has a rather dismal and unpleasant retrospective. Ho realizos then that he could have derived as much pleasure from work as play e

So, if we attain and keep the spirit that work is something more than toil wo will never have that to rcgrot in later years.

SPORTS

A meeting was held on Feb. 4, 1937, for tho purpose of organizing the Athletic Association, The students decided to organize in two groups, girls and boys,

The boys elected the following officers: Ronald Colley, President; Linwood Clark, Vicc-President; and James Hall, Secretary-Trcasurer, It was docided to assess each. boy fifty cents regardless of whether or not he par- ticipated in any sporte

The girls decided to assess each girl thirty-five cents. They elected the following officers: Marie Pousland, President and Evelyn Morrill, Secretary-lreasurcre

The association hes carncd money by selling magazines and sccdse Basketball

Although Mr. Wardwell tricd very hard to sccurc the use of the Transient Camp gym to practise basketball in, it was impossible to do so because there wes no way of heating it and of course it could not be used without hcate Much dis- appointment was felt among the boys, but they had to console themselves with the thought that the school right have a gym of its own next fall.

Baseball

In the spring of 1936, with an unusually large squad of boys reporting for practise Mr. Wardwell picked the following tcam to represent the school in the various games:

Catchers: R. Thibodeau

Pitcher: R. Wallace and L. Sawyer

Snake: Confound your wagging tongues, I can't cven think to spelle How much had we ought to make it?

John: About, $2,500 is plenty for this little two legged sky-rockete

Jimny: I don't like the names that you call mo, But gee, will you tell me what makes the grass green? s

Snako: Can you beat that kid! I nover saw a little half pint that could ask so many questionse Next he will ask how many it takes to make

Snake: Take good care of camp while I'm gone and have the grub ready ae T come back. Be sure to keep the kid entertained or there won't be any dough for you.

(Snake exits)

Jimmy: Let's play Indians, huh? If you don't I'll run awnye

Sco? This is going to be lots of fun.

John:

For some reason or rather I don't seem to like this idea about tortur- ing us but come on Tom we have to stand over here. (The two men go over to one side and stand back to the kid, he tiptoes lightly behind them then shouts: Whoopeel Victory! YIPPEEEE! M i (Jimmy hurls ‘sticks at them and they fall, then he rushes over to them and jumps on them) Stop, kid that wasn't in the bargaine

LITERARY DEPARTMENT The Happy Valley

One Gay many yeers ago in a small Italian town two old people wore sitting outside thcir cottage door admiring the beautiful sunset, garden and flowers. Their scant supper had been eaten and the day's labor cver when the scunds cf children shouting and dogs barking were heard far dovm in the villages,

Not oíton did travelers pass through this town and when they did the neighbors weu'd trort thom with little kindness, dogs would rush ct them and children chros svencs at thems

Betsy and Danicl were quite poor having to work hard for a living. Daniel toiled har? in his gercen end curving furniture while Betsy made butter or was doing one thing cr ancther about the house. Their food was seldom anythiug but breac, butter, milk, vegetables or honey, but any weary traveler that passed by their docr was always welcome,

Their cottage stocd on a small hill a short distance from the vil- lage- Tall besutiful suks grew great and high making the country very beautiful, ‘ears ase pecrle believed there was a lerge rcaring river there but now cniy a crnll brock meandered through the town to supply the inhabi-

While shoking their heads and talking to one another about how these ungrateful peopls taught their children to be no better than thomsolves, an old feeble mnan approached on foot. He was very humbly dressed, his clothes muddy and torn by the fierce dogs. He carried ar old staff with carvings of two snakes on ite. ‘Throwing himself carelessly on the bench wher. ho reached thc cottage ho asked Betsy if they could spare a slice of trea for an old man that was hungry and tired. Betsy preparcd some supper for him but began to make apologies for the poor meal she was forced to sct befcre her gueste

"Do not trouble yourself, my good dame," rcplied thc stronger,

Eating his bread and milk the stranger requested to be shown to his place to sloepe Betsy and Daniel would have gladly talked a little longer but the stranger refused to answer their questions telling them he wished to

After being shown to a small, dark rcom in the rcar of tho cottage the stranger lies down on tho bed and is asleep in five minutes, His dreams take him back to his childhood when his father was a sca captain, who sailod around tho world and traweled into distant lands, This particular dream was his living again his journey into the Sahara the overstretching desert from the Atlantic to the Nile,

The Lost Atlantis

Captain William Jacobs was how a grown man of about the age of thirty-

cight. The story of his working up to be o Captain bogins with his carly boy- hood vacations e

It was about thirty years ago when "Bill" first became intercstcd in the sca. It was during a summer vacation that Bill's parents spent two months on the sea in their small yacht. During the first week of the vacation, Bill became very sca sick and staycd in his cabin a great deal of the times As time went on he became more accustomed to the sca-life ond sea-sickness did not bother him any more,

lt was one warm, calm day in June that Bill and his father were on the deck of the ship watching the birds as they hovered over the sea and glanced intc the distance to see if they could see another ship coming tovard them, At this time their own ship was travelling quite fast and it would be disastrous to hit another ship at this rate of speed. As they looked through their glasses they could see a small ship coming tcwarês thems As the ship ncarod them, they noticed that the name on the ship was the "Atlantis I", When the Atlantis passed their own ship, Bill noticed that it was a very modern vessel and that the people on board were all dressed in naval uniform,

"What kind of a ship is that, Dad?" asked Bill. "It is one of 'Uncle Sam's'Coast Guard Cutters," replied his fathers

Bill stoppcd and gazed in amazement and again asked, “Who is 'Uncle Sam! ?" E

"Well, son, it is a nicknamc that is given to the United States," ro- plied his father.

"What is a cutter, Ded?" asked Bill,

"It is a ship that protects the coast of the United States from enemies and also answers S.0.S. calls from ships that are in trouble on the seo."

Bill thought for a few moments and then said, "You know; Dad, I'm going to be a Captain on one of those ships when I get older,"

"Good for you," replied his father with a broad smile on his facce

It was a few days after this that they returned home ond the vacation was. overe It was a familiar job to be back at their daily tasks. - For the next few days, all that Bill could telk &bcut was that he was going to be a Captain of a shipe-.

It was only a few eave after this that Bill was stationed as Captain of the new Cutter "Jonesville". He took his new post immediately and again went to do- his dutics,

He wrote to his parents about his new appointment and was praised very highly by them in a return letter.

Since this time Bill has made much progress in thé Navy and by the time he was forty-five ho was made an Admiral. He has done his duty and has served his country to the best of his ability and has accomplished his boyhood ambition with "flying colors".

The Episode on Grey Strect

It vas late afternoon and the sinking sun was beginning to make the small dingy buildings along Grey Ste cast long shadows which conveyed an un- pleasant feeling to one who might chance to glance down that strect. The very atmosphere was ominous. Two boys of about twelve were strolling lazily dovm the strcet, One lollinz'along with his hands in his pockets scuffed through the dust and occasionally kicked a stene thet came in the way of his tread.

» The other was attempting to WINES 5 short stick with a rusty knife he had picked up in the strect. They were both dressed in the habitual cloth- ing of those who have the misfortune to dwell in tho slumse

"I tell you what," Jackie suddenly replied as though an inspiration had come to him. "“Everythin's a lot more scary, at night and there'S.a moon, too, now, Ya know what people been sayin' for the last two days -- that there's been noises down round that old Riley heusc.

The Mansion On The Cliff

Old Vir. "erriwoather was dead. It had been his last wish that he should be allowed to remain alone in his mansion on the cliff on tno night bee fore the burial. Considering the trcasures that were in the house this seemed foclhardy. But -= since he left no relatives -- when the corcner and the un- - dertaker departed they left the gloomy old place descrtcd and locked up,

There it stood -- tall and grim and foreboding -- a stark figure against the greying sky -- its severcness somewhat relieved by the majestic old clms that were at its sides,

lir, Merriweather had had a lcnely life and as far as anyone know, had not had any friends. He was eccentric, and commonly called quecrs Sinco he had become ill, hcwevor, some of the neighbors had comc to extend sympathy and offer aid. * All of which was a prctensc. Their sole thought wes that perhaps they would be rewarded. He was reputed to have fabulous wealth. He had never spent much of it because after the death of his benutiful young bride he had gone into voluntary exile,

His only servant had bcen an odd little urchin that he had picked up,

-onc Petey Bartlctt, ,

Petey used to go down to the store and buy the supplics but he never spoke to anyone. He merely perrormed his duties and spent his spare time in the magnificent library, Altogether he led a strange existence for one so young; but doubtless infinitely better than if he had boen left to his fate on the streetse

When the old fellow died, Petey had disappeared.............

In ono of the choap' dives" in the heart of London a group of surly- looking men sat conversing excitedly, yet, kceping their voices pitched low,

"Dis sure will be a soft lay-out if we play the cards right," said

one, obvicusly a subordinate.

"Shut yer trap," was the gruff reply from the one who sccmod to domi-

"Now dere ain't likely to be no 'bobbies! aroun' Gis dump, so

we'll have a clear coast, he talked on outlining the plans.

"Goc, I don't like 'stiffs'! It gives me the 'creeps' to think of prowling aroun! in the dark with dat old geezer stretched out 'cold' no more'n ten fect away from mo,"

"Yoller," snecred tho big fellow, who, behind his air of bravado also had a kind of quecrish fcoling abcut being around a corpse. (He'd always sorta figurod thero was something abcut a guy after he'd died that -- well, he just couldn't figuro it out.) But nono of his secret fears did he rclay to his com-

panionse He only jecred at theme They got up and wont out into the street... eren

Across the doscrted house end tho cliff, night was casting her first shadows, Thero scumcd to be an almost ominous silence, In one spurt of glory the sun sank down below the horizon and darkness came to the English country -

side. A swift and cutting wind camo up and swept across the cliff, causing the elms, even, to bow their statcly heads,

It was twelve, midnight. Alcng thc winding path to the house, were seen flickering lantcrns ascending laboriouslye

They reached thc tcp. They spoke in muffled whispers -- not because they thought they nocced to exercise caution but because, although none would admit it, all were a littlo fearful at what they were about to doe

They casily unlccked a window and entcrede It had become musty smell- ing even in this short time, Some of the men darted glances here and there as if they expected something to jump at them from the shadows,

They weren't exactly sure where the body was but expected it to be in the parlor. Accordingly, they shicd away trom that room,

The leader bravely ventured forth into the great study, favorite room of the old man. All was very quict and he mace all the noise he could to still the fecling of dread that the very silence arouscd in hime His band followed him, Ah! There wes the trophy case which alone contained a small fortune,

There were heavy velvet drapes at the south end of the studye Ho went

toward them and rather gingerly parted them. He vas violently surprised.

There vos the coffin! He only said, "Well, here's the old feller." Then as he viewed the casket with scmething cf owe his eyes suddenly dilated with horror. The clcth that covered the head and shoulders of the body moved --1 He screamed and, terrified, cried out to his companions, They dropped the loot they had been gethcring ond fled. "A ghost?" someone shouted inanely All courage had departed from them and they only stopped to breathe when they

had stumbled and run half way down the path,......,

Nonchalantly, Peter Yartlett stepped frcm behind the big morris

chair in a remote corner of the study -= welkcd cver to the casket and said,

"Well, sir, I couldn't let them do that to you." And with a tear on Fide cheek which proclaimed that beneath his venocr of indifference there woro some tenderer cmotions, Petey lifted the cloth and from beneath it picked Esmerclda, the day old kitten that he had found in the barn the night before and walked out.

The Red Banshee

A parallel case to that of "The Hound of Baskerville" is the strange case of Sir Roderick Fenton, The following is my account cf tho singular circunstanccse

One evening while I was sented comfortably in my study, my man knocked and entered.

"Who might be calling this late hour?" I inquired, on observing the card in his hande

“Here is his card, sire Shell I show him in?" he answered, at the same time handing tho card to mee

"Certainly," I replied, noting tho name, Sir Rederick Fenton, onc of tho most moneyed country squires in England and knowing that if I were retained by him in my profession as e private detective surcly I should be rewarded a handsome fcce

"Ant Good evening, sire Are you not the renowned pupil of the il- lustrious Sherlock Holmcs, Lester Cartwright," exclaimed a pompous, and some= what nobleman as he wos ushered through the study docr, interrupting my study of the card. He stood, thon, for a minute puffing and blowing, and then sank down in a nearby chaire

"T am Cartwright," I replicd, “but not a pupil of Holmes certainly, but rather a contemporary." I smiled as I said this for in my heart I am ono. of the most ardent and admiring pupils of that great mastcr, but I could not allow my rugged ego to suffer such a billinge

“Although I deduce the facts that ycu are greatly worried, ond have come on the night train from Dover where your summer home is, and that you wish ny aid, I know nothing of your plight," I continucd after a short pause,

"How do you know this," ho exclaimed in surprise, looking around him with frightened glancese

"You will say it is absurdly casy, when I explain," I said, “Your boots, I observe, are covered with a powdery white substance which I take + be chalk, and all certainly know of the famous chelk cliffs at Dever which 3 a well known country cstate resort. From that you can form your own a. sion. As to your nervousness, your actions speak for themselves, as

your boots aren't polished I surmisod that you had traveled recently, which

of course would be tonight." "Why, how simple it appears now," he said, "Now, plcaso lct mo know what 1 can do," I said impatientiy.

"I shall start from the beginning," he announced, “As you probably know, the Fenton family is one of the most noblo families in tho annals of English history, In the year 1663 a black-sheep, a most villainous man came into possession of the estate, without doubt by foul meense He hated his relatives who hated him as vehemently. He, on his death bed, vowed that a crimson wraith should haunt his successors to the estate, This legend has

prevailed throughout the years up to this time.

"Now, Mr. Cartwright, I pride mysclf on being a sensible man, and I

do not believe in the supernatural, but recently I nave had a great fright. "Two years ago my older brother died in a mysterious manner. The

coroner owed his death to a heart attack, but I havo reason to believe that

his death was not natural, but connectod with this srim and fantastic tradi- He apparently fell dead while strolling about his grounds near tho

tion. chalk cliffs. shapes seen near the spot where he fell.

"But last night I, myself, learned the cause of his death, or at least part of it. It was a terribly dark night, the sky being overcast and shutting out the moon and stars, Not a breath of air was stirring except close to the sons s surface, I heard a noise near the cliff, and, fearing burglars, I went outside the house to see what was happeninge Suddenly my hair stood on end for, rising slowly and hideously, a scarlet ghost appeared above the edge of the cliff. Rooted to the spot I stood and staredat the wreathing mist, Then suddenly I reached for a stone and threw it at the apparition. The stone went through it and splashed in the seas Slowly then the wraith became larger and larger, leering, twisting, and twining. It seemed to approach. It uttered a hollow groan and floated above the ground. At the second groan, I turned and fled, and glancing over my shoulder I saw a second wraith join the first. They both stood in bright relief, clad in their blood red robes, against the night All around them a solid blackness gathered, but directly behind them a grayish haze mingled with their vague everchenging shapes. That, Mr. Cartwright, is my horrible experience." With this story finishcd, he lay back exhausted.

I sat for a while and thought in silence. Then I all at once had solved tho whole incident and the preceding events.

"You may set esido your fears," I said, "for there is no such thin as the supernatural." 8

: tt : j But I heard it peaky he cried, "and sew the stone go right through it myself, Surely you can --

"Let me explain," I broke in, "and describe the thing exactly as it happened."

"Go on, please," he encouraged,

"Well, my doar sir, I make a guess that you only have two servants

who have been in the family a long time, also that recently you have written your will."

"Quite so,"

"I happen to know that you are the last of the Fenton family. There-

fore it is reasonable to suppose that you left everything to your two house- kvwpers,"

"That's right."

"And it is true, too, that these servants are married or possibly about to be."

"They're married," he corrected.

"They are the only ones who have access to the kitchen, aren't they?"

He nodded his head.

"Now," I continued, "I shall describe last night's episode, When you approached the cliff you saw nothing, Then, suddenly, the head of what you assumed to be a supernatural being came into sight, rather jumped into sight. You probably smclled a sulphurous odor, or smoke at least, Then the appari- ' tion rose, not steadily, but with a hesitating motion.

"In the first place, I should charge the servants with the murder of your father, This is how it was done, K owing that they, at the death of you and your father, would receive a considerable estatc, they conspired to remove you both, This method which they took is based upon an ancient method of con- juring.

"Last night at supper ycu refused the desert, probably your favorite one, because a headache had been provcked by your fear at the tales of the natives, didn't you?"

"Exactly, but how --"

"Mere guess work, aided by experience," I broke in. "After leaving the house you saw the appariticn when investigating a queer noise. It greatly frightened you."

"Why, yes, rather," he ejaculated.

"Now if ycu had been in the habit of taking dope, or even not in it, what might happen if you had happened to take an overdose that night."

"With my heart weakened in that way, I probably would have dropped dead,"

"Precisely. Then a picture projected by an electrified camera upon a wall of smoke caused by a fire cover Wd ot or rotten wcod, would have becn the cause of your deuth aided, very probably by cocaine, or marilwana. I should advise you to telegraph the constabulary to arrest your servants ond investi- gate theéverhanging cliff for such a machine which is moved by a windlass at

the bottom of the cliff. I should hasten to punish the ungrateful culprits,

m—— áÉÉ ——— Mee and now, sir, if ycu have no mere business, bc on your way and leave mc to my " reste

"Good evening, sir; and thank ycu," said the miserable lord as he marched out.

The next day I reecived this communication frem Scotland Yard.

"Dear Cartwright,

Congratulate mc, Through the help cf Sir Roderick, and, of ccurse, my own Scotland Yard havo sclvod the Fenton crimes. By the way hcw cid you know the solution before we sclved it?

Perhaps I had better cxplain here that Bob had formerly called himself a "self-made" bachelor and in his cwa words he "was gcing to bring his children up the same way".

"Oh, she's Mildred Wentwerth, heiress tc the Wentwcrth millions," an-

swored his partner gaily. "She's a regular fellow, tco. She likes the cut- deers and is nct a bit stuck-up."

The sun, in all its fiery splendor, sent the full blast of its scorch- ing rays down upon George's wocly head, as he trudged slowly along the dusty, winding road that led tc his favcrite haunt.

Suddenly Georze heard a flutter in the bushes just ahead of him and a little brown rabbit with the brightest, roundest cyes ycu ever cid sec scurried out from bushes that lined the rond. When Gecrge caught sight of the

rabbit he gave a sharp, picrcing whistle.

Instantly the rabbit stcpped, sat back on his haunches and regarded the boy with an innocent round-eyed staroe When he moved toward the animal it scurried off into the wecds.

It wasn't long before Gcorge had trained the rabbit to come hopping out of his briar patch home when he heard the boy whistling, "Maryland, My

Earylond,"

As a reward for a prompt appearance George would pull from his pocket a crisp, orange carrot fer his small wocdland friend.

One fine summer afternocn as George was strolling along the familiar road to kecp his appointment with his friend, he saw a hunter, rifle in hand, disappear into the denser thicket just «head. Even after the man became in- visible George could hear the strains of the tuno ho was whistling, it was

"Moryland, My Maryland".

Gecrge started running in the direction fron which the whistling camo, His only thcught was to keep that man from calling out his pet.

All at once George stcpped dead still. Thc whistling had ceased. In ancther second the sharp report of a rifle shot struck the stillness.

Everything in the woods became quiet. the birds stoppec their insist- ent chotteringe The frogs in tho noarby marshes ceased their throaty singing end sat blinking on their lily-pad islands. A grayish cloud slid lazily aadd silently across tho fece of the sun, mercifully tempering its blistering rays.

Once more George started for thc thick pine grove. Even before ho reached the spot he saw the bright rod spots on the fresh green lcaves. He knew that the lcucost, shrillest whistle in the world could not bring his

little brown fricnd,

Gradually the birds resumed their happy chirping; the frogs resumed

their peculiar throaty creaking, Thc cloud had pessed and tho sun was once moro boamin:; dcwn on mother earth.

l In fact, the only unhappy thing about the scene, was a little cclered boy sitting on a log, one elbow resting on his knoe and his chin propped on his hand, gazing sadly off into space, From the other hand dangled a big yellow carrot, it slid to the ground and lay among the soft damp moss end cocl brownish leevese

Prize Speaking 4 For two wholc years I had my fun, hearing the orators one by one. But now my pleasure is swiftly gone, My turn hos come -- prize speaking is on.

I have no idca what piece I'll choose,

I know I'll gct up there and shake in my shoes. I bet I'll stumblo and then forgot,

Extra Hours

I'm sure we all have looked at the clock When the hands pointed exactly to three But no, we couldn t yet go home

We hed been told to stay after school, you sec, Perhaps wo had bocn giggling

Or whispering or chewing gum

And maybe we had bccn talking back

In short, we'd teen having fun.

When life is so short it seems a shame That we can't refrain from being bad

But when we have sat until 4:30 o'clock I think we wish, to ourselves, we had. When the end of six wecks rolls around Three's in conduct secms quite the fad And once more we start all over again

Resolving nevcr again to be bad. -- Grayce Thompson,

That all your days you will be of good cheer;

And you will have the golden rule as a guide; And, most of nll, a conscience clear you'll keep. If these are true, you'll got rcward, -my friend; For, having done no deed that you would hidc,

The Flood The silent river in the spring, Flows gently olong the grassy shore We hear the birds as they sing A song welll love forevor morce

But now as the silent stream begins

Its yearly rise for troublesome fame, We must forgive our daily sins,

When the river was calm and tame.

The woter rises foot by foot, And along the shore we sec

The soiled land we onco set foot, And hoped it would always be.

But now the water has risen above the land, That which we all love so well, And people weep as they leave the land On which their home and they had hoped to dwell. --Gerald M. Kimball.

Springtime, glorious springtime t Has come to us again

We are always glad to greet you As you come to us each year

The Call of Spring

The snow has gone from tho hillside,

And the sap from the maples we bring.

The first robin porched on the grape arbor, Tells us it soon will be spring.

The winding brook on the meadow, Has opcned and started to sing. Tho pussy willows in the swamps, Whisper it soon will be spring.

Winter has given us pleasures, Many days we have had our fling. Skating, sliding and skiing,

But oh1 How we welcome spring.

Soon we wi ll turn out the cattle, And hear the cow bells ring. I'd gladly exchange the winter, For the gracicus welcome of springe -- June Hell.

Tho Vacant Homestead

The house stsnds lonely; stark Against the clouded sky;

And in the sordid, darkening gloom, It echoes with a sigh.

"Once I saw hnppy faces; A family callcd me homo, But now I lumber vacantly, And livo my life alone,

‘My panes are dirty and broken, My paint not in its youth, The rooms are bare, untenanted; Forsaken, I hold aloof,

'Far from the crowded life, I stand, For from the city's crowd, Beaten by weather and civil stress, My prido lost, my head bowed,

'I can't complain of my full life; I seek no great reward; I've gladly sheltered human kind, And done the work of God." -- Anthony Eaton

Patient Climbing

4 picture often comes before me, One of which I'm very fond --

A boy standing on a winding road Looking wistfully beyond.

The road leads up to the horizon, Clear up to the shining blue sky,

But he never appears in that glory Because he's not willing to trye

Now as on Life's road we are journeying, And while overhead soars the dove,

Do we choose to remain in the valley, And just gaze at the heights above?

Or have we the ambition to climb

And win through the uttermost strife, Where wo will be as ones looked un to,

That have fulfilled their tasks in life.

Nov I think that this little incident, Might to us a lesson teach; For it's only by patient climbing That the greatest heights we reache -- James Hall.

The Land of Sunshine

In the land of good old sunshine, Yero the tourists love to go; There's a stream of silvery water, That is free from ice and snow,

It is here that birds are singing, And the music is sweet and low; And the merry couples arc dancing, In the land of little snow.

From the hill we see the river, With it's lovely, even flow;

And the small boats arc floating, In the water with no ice or snow,

The sun is shining brightly,

As the morry couples roam;

Through thc strects and lovely orchards, And along the river Nome.

Somctimes we can hear the water, As it flows along its course; We love the land of sunshine, And the water with its forcee --Ronald H., Colley.

Read It And Weep

I live at the foot of one little hill And the bottom is the top of another, I ride to school with my papa And ride back home with my mother.

I live halfway between two large schools You couldn t cell either a college, To one they go for nothing at all The other for seeking of knowledge.

I go to school to lcarn what I can I learn what I can when I go,

I go to school when the weather is fair And I go when there's rain or snow,

The first thing I see, when I get there to school And open the door to the hall,

Is the part of the bird that you might call the "Will", And the other you might call the "Small"

Li I don t see why folks run around Anã wasto oll their time in the parks, While I go to school so I won't be a fool And listen to St. Matthew by "Marks".

I really believe that I'd go to school No matter how much it might cost,

I'd go if the snow camo clean to my knees I'd go in spite of tho "Frost."

I don't sce a thing that should keep one at home Not either a boy or a girl,

If you can't go to school with a Queen or a Duke You can go to school to an "Earle."

I aim to be there in the morning on timo Never to be late or tardy,

For I know when I've got there and parked my wrap, I'm quite apt to turn around and sec "Wardy."

I take my lunch in the place 'cross the way I eat my soup in a bowl, I believe the supplies comc up from the store And are all put together by "Low'11." --Arvilla Humphrey.

Skating

Ovor the ice we go gliding,

On our skates we're swiftly sliding, Up and down the glass lake; While its cold, -- Its time to skate.

All the girls and all tho boys, Take their fill of winter joys,

The best of fun is swiftly gliding,

On our skntos so swiftly sliding.

Wo build a fire near the lake,

To light and cheer us while we skate; Then there are the weenies roasting, And tho sticky marshmallows»

Oh! Its jolly IM The iirclight, Oh! It's pleasant in the moonlight, The joys of skating,-- swiftly sliding, While on the ice wo go smoothly gliding. -- David Kupelian

It Takes Courage

They advance toward the foe, ten thousand strong, They advance very slowly, to avenge their wrongs; They capture the enemy and turn about, They call to their comrades with joyous shout,

It takes couragee

They buck the linc, ten yards to go,

They all listen for the word "go";

They hear it, and all plunge forward,

They block their opponents, the ball moves onwarde It takes courage.

On battlofield, football field, or just ot home, There are always those things left to be dono, That take courage. --Linwood Clark.

BOOK REVIEWS

‘ke "The Tudor Wench" -- An historical novel by Elswyth Thane of whose biography there is no account. However, the author has written several novels of this typc, among them "Mary Stuart" and "Prince Charlie".

A sceno I liked especially was tho one in the royal garden late at nights Elizabeth, only thirtcon ycars old, had slipped out of her chamber and gone to mect Ferdinand, the sixteen ycar old page boy whom sho loved. ke had promised to be her protector and guardian. She shyly kissed him and then she ran back to her room, fearful lest he be caught in a tryst with her and be severely punished;

My favorite character was Elizabeth Tudor. Why? Because she was warmly human, and such a really lovable child. She had o charming personality and was very democratici She hed a strong vill, and determination which marked her as a true child of Henry VIII.

The character I liked least was Thomas Seymour. He was selfish and vaine His fancy for Elizabcth seomed to me, ludicrous. He married Catherine only to gain his ends and treated her abominably.

Tho theme of the story is hov a regal, lovable little girl grew up to become quccn of the grcatcst empire in the land.

Synopsis.

Elizabeth Tudor was the daughter of Henry the VIIIth by his second wife Anno Boleyn, There was a question cs to her legitimacy since he had divorced Catherine of Aragon only through a law mado by himself, Mary was his daughter by Catherine, By gentle Jane Seymour, his third wife, he had Edymrd Prince of Wales, These, then, were the threc children who grew up together, Hary, who was older, wes sour und bitter because of her mother's mistre.tment.

She was |:.ughty and dominating and very much like her father, toc.

Little Edvard, who was frail, was hcr especial pet. The odd child loved his Elizabctn very deeply.

Seymour found out atout Ji, somehow, and, in a jealous rage, had one of his henchmen push the bey into the river, Elizabeth grieved over his death and it is believed when he died, there died the only love of the virgin queen.

Jano Seymour, Edward's mother, had died soon after his birth. Then

There was great furore in the kingdom. Everyone realized that Edward, who had automatically ascended the throne, was young and very frail. Death scemed imminent, Indced, after less than a ycar or so thc young king did dic. He had never wantcd to be king, anywoy. All he had been was a figure-hcade The only thing he cared about was Elizabeth,

Elizabeth, now sixtcen, was possessed of charm and became popular with tho peoplc. Mary realizing this, foresaw that her path to the throne would not be clear. Aftcr several revolts and much strife because shc was à Catholic, however, she became quecne Sho bad Elizabeth exilcde Having been "old" all her life, shc had never becn popular.

Finis. The most emphasis in the "Tudor Wench" is charactere The chief part of the story is character sketches of the various ccurticrs and royalty of the

time. Plot, however, is important.

Elizabeth Tudor -- the Tudor wench.

leary Tudor -- sour and bitter daughter of Catherine of : Aragon

Edward Tudor -- froil little son of Jane Seymour,

Thomas Scymour -- husband of Catherine Howard,

Ferdinand -- & page boy.

Honry VIII -- imperious old father of Elizabcth.

Catherine lioward-- 5th wife of Henry Lady Jane Grey -- nino days a queen. Earl of Leicester -- a courticr.

"Uncle Nicholas", by Hugh Walpole. Doubleday Doran $2.50.

The author has woven the plot dexterously and after the climax gives an impression of a modern ending, It really is just the good, old-fashioned ending Cresscd up.

The characters are so alive and so reprcsentative of bewildered people of this day that the greatest charm of the story is in them not in the story itself.

It is interesting reading and from it one may derive moral benefit as well as pleasure.

The story is written in the familiar Walpole style and will win great favor among Walpole readers, -- Se Wilson

"An American Doctor's Odyssey", by Victor Heiser, MeD.

Doctor Victor Heiser, the author, is one of the most prominent doctors in the annals of modern medical histery. When a boy, Heiser lost his parents in the Johnstown flood, but saved himself by good fortune. Partly influcneed by this experience he dccidcd to become a doctor. Tho "Odyssey", however, tells of his struggles and successe

"An American Doctor's Odyssey"! is a remorkable personal story of a distinguished American doctcr who has traveled all around the world for moro than thirty ycarse Hc dedicates his lifc to the prevention of discasce His friends are many, from headhunters to millionaires. His work has carried him throughout most of the tropical world, Sululand, Polynesia, Hawaii, North Borneo, Labuan, Mclbournc, Singaporc, the South Seas, urunei, Sarawak, Kandy, Java, Sumatra, Fiji, Ccylon, India, Palestine, Egypt, end Ethiopia are a fow of the numerous places which have benciitted from his works

Supported by the Rockcfellcr Founcation he has probably helped in sav- ing more human lives then any other living person, His own account is ono of the recent non-fiction best sellorse His work is reviewed favorably by all the leading critics.

The following are exccrpts from feature reviows.

Chicago Tribune:

"Intenscly interesting, plummy with ancedotc and dry wit, a truly human document and truly fascinating."

Saturday Review -f Literature: "For all the world might bc Dr. Eciser talking . e a book anyone would enjoy” x

Boston Transcript: "Has all the qualities of a best scller è a dcols witha fascineting sub-

ject expertly handled."

Special mention should be made of the style. It is an autobiography simply written, and interestingly presented. It is not merely an account, but a fascinating story written in a manner and a career so recorded that it even excels fiction in its plot; a battle against sickness and deathe His trials and successes are set forth unaffectedly, faithfully and honestly, The book is not written for its literary merit although it is excellent in this respect, but to bring to the layman a true account and an understanding of the work of the medical profession and the advancement of medical science,

The book describes the ignorance of man where disease is concerned and of his unnccessary fear or horror, Dr. Heiser tells in a vivid picture of the treatment for tropical diseascs, of medical diplomacy, and of noces- sary actions to be carried out by medicine to make the world disease proof.

This book is suited for all high school students and for all others, older, By no means miss reading this vivid portrayal of the work of medicine
