Editorials Another year ha pa ed, another clas is about to grad uate, and another ORACLE has been publi hed . The editorial board hone tly feel that this ORACLE represents its be t efforts, and is the be t O RACLE that has ever been published. The board has tried to profit by the mi takes of previous boards, and next year we hope that the board will profit by our mistakes and turn out a book superior to this one. The finest thing about the pa t year ha been the awakening of the Student Body. The Student Council ha functioned in the past year a it has never functioned before. It created rule to control the Fre hman Banquet, which had in the past been governed by unwritten and mo t unsatisfactory rules ; rule that were so uncertain as to re ult in unsati factory banquets for the past t hree years, and claim of victory by both sides. The present rules worked exceedingly well, and re ulted in having a definite and sati sfactory dec i ion this year. It al o took over the man agement of the I nterfraternity Basketball League, paid all the old debts of the league, and closed the season with all bill paid, and a small surplus. This was a noteworthy accomplishment when compared with the results of other years. Another determined, but un ucce sful attempt was made to reform the present evi l of fraternity rushing. Although the rule were not passed, five of the fraternities have sign i fied their intention to postpone pledging next fall until the third W edne day in October. The courage of the fraternities is to be commended and deserve ucce s. I f success does at tend their efforts the i nevitable result will be the abolition of the present cut-throat system, and it will be looked back upon as the most sign i ficant event of the past college year. Another reform the writer would l ike to ee would be the abolition of Freshman R ules, other than, perhaps, the wearing of the Freshman Cap. During one's freshman year friends are made regardless of fraternity, and the spirit i n the cla i s of the best. B ut after a squabble or two in sopho more class meetings, over real or i magined di crimination_ on the part of the members of one fraternity agai nst the freshman of a nother, we find this friendly spirit becoming a bitterly antagonist ic one. The bad spirit is not confined to the sophomore class, but spreads, and before college is hard ly under way we find one fraternity group suspiciously ho tile of another, and all over a few petty, foolish, childish rules. We can keep freshmen i n their places without resorting to foolish rules t hat the fresh men can hardly be blamed for breaking. The college as a whole ought to be able to impress upon freshmen their standing and place h ere. M ust we continue to have t hese rules because other c lasses had them before us ? If we feel the need of preserving triooition then let us keep Bloody Monday Night, but let us do away with those trouble b reeders, Freshman Rules and Sophomore Razoos. The pa t year ha not been overly successful i n athletics. In football a team with championshi p possibilities failed to get going until the final game agai nst Bates. Some stars will be lost to the team, but better breaks should re ult in a State Championshi p next year. Hockey was more suc ce sful than ever before, although vve finished at the bottom . Once again Six
we can find comfort in thinking of the fine prospect for the next year . Ba eball, t rack, and t e n n i are et to c o m e , but the prospects in a l l t h ree are bright, e pecially i n tennis with the entire team back. We hope that the u nfortunate fire at Coburn has not put the proc uring of a gymna i u m a few more ear di tant. It i a nece ity. If we a re to com pete w ith the other faine college , an adequate gymna ium i needed, and needed soon. The gymnasium, o cramped and inadequate, has been utilized as a laboratory ince the fire, and this ha served t o emphasize the g reat need of an u p-to-date and adequate gymnasiu m . There ha been rumor o f a Dean. It eem as if some of the d uties hould be lifted from the w i ll ing, b ut o erburdened shoulders of P resident Roberts. The college i large enough and really need a Dean. We hope t hat next year will ee thi rumor a fact. We a re glad that d u ring the pa t ear the Pre i dent aw fit to d o awa w it h the practice of St udent As i tant correcting papers in ome courses. It has re ulted in u nfai rnes and favoriti m in a few i n tances, a lthough the hone ty of mo t of t hese a i tant could not be que tioned. It has eemed a n unfair a r rangement for all t udent concerned, and the ORACLE wa glad t o ee Pre ident R obert take action i n thi matter. The pa t ear ha seen a decided tiffening of the chola tic standards of the college. We hope that the fac ulty will ee fit to continue the good work, and that i n the future w i ll make the entrance requirements more t rict, and thu elim inate at the er) beginning the m aj ority of the u nfit . We could not fini h without aying a few word about the g reat l oss Colby uff ered when Doctor Marquardt died. More t u dent , probably took c o u r e under him than under an other profe sor. He wa beloved by all, and his death wa a h ock to all of u . He wa faithful to the last , teaching almost t o t h e d a of h i death. Realizing that mention i n the editorial column i quite inadequate, another page ha been re er ed for a tribute by Doctor White, his c l o e t friend among the member of the fac ulty. In the final analy i w e are glad to find that the Student Body ha taken on a new lea e of life i n the pa t two ear . It m u st inevitably resu lt in a bette r and finer Colb . We h ope that the Student Body cont inue i n the p a t h it has taken the la t two ear . A we l ook forward i n t o the year to come it i not hard to i ualize Colb a a g reater l ittle college than e\ er.

Senior C lass History Another act i n the h i story of Colby near its close. With o ur grad u ation the c u rtain d rops forever u pon the fourth scene i n the u ndergraduate l i fe of the c las of 1927. The story of our share in the pageant of the B lu e and Gray i w e l l known tQI everyone, and yet, l et us r e a d the synopsis t hrough once again i n order to refresh our memories before we ·c um, in the n ext few page , t o the detai l 0£ the action of the pla . F i r t, there wa that Freshman scene when we were i nitiated as Colby men, the la rgest entering c lass up to that time. Then, also, the football champion hip wa won, and we held our succes ful, t hough poorly t i med, banq uet . Then came the Sophomore scene when we, ourselves, as urned the role of priest of P i C h i . That wa the year of the Sophomore Declama tion, the U p ilon Beta Initiation, the Sophomore Shuffle, and the first trial of the one year athletic rule. But it was i n the J u n io r scene that our talent really began t o develop w it h the organization of Powder and Wig and Pi Gamma Mu, the J u n ior P rom, the Junior Exhibition, and the Junior Cla Day exercise . In the fourt h , or Senior Scene, we t ook over the acti e cont rol of the campus orga n izations-e pecially of the St udent Council a n d the variou college publicat ions. Then came Commencement, ·ch e fi rst under the new week-end plan, with its conti nual rush of activitie from the Senior Hop t o the Graduation exercises. Thus, briefly can we think of it a l l aga i n . O u r a c t i n the d rama o f Colby is completed. Our member ha e h ad lead i ng roles i n t h e scholastic, athletic, religiou , forensic, d ramatic, a n d m u s ical part o f i t s production. N ow there remains only the work of the critics-a n d that will be found c h ronicled, i n t h e years to c ome, on the page 0 £ o u r n e� spapers and magazines. Our cast d isbands. Remembering Mother Colby's training, we now go t o the g reater play. W e h ave strutted our l ittle h o u r here upon the tage of Colby's campus. As you read the e pages which record the story of 1 927,. decide for yourself, as we take t h e curtain call of o u r graduation, whether Macbeth would have called u s poor players.

Here is one of those rare specimens o[ what is commonly k nown an "athlete-scholar-good-fellow." The bu y days of this man. the second of the famous "Colby Cowing ," remind one of the ver satile actor who plays all of the role , from light to heavy. The only difference is that "Cleal's'' work is the real article. A football player of proven ability, a talented musician, an efficient manager, a capable student and tutor, an able executive and a general all-around good fellow. Truly this man stands out as a leader among his mates. a-

Freshman Class History It's a farce--everyone knows a fre hman class has no H i story-but j ust give us a chance. We were given o u r fi rst taste o f college on the never t o b e forgotten B l oody M o nday N ight. I t was at this occasion that we were shown the Sixf7tj-seve-n
dangerousness of 1 929. However, again t all these odds, we were soon doing things to our credit. We were the first t o hold our banquet on the Colby campu under the very eyes of " Phi Chi . " So great wa our succe that the ophomore abol ished all rules. We were not, however, a succes ful in our next en deavor, the pushball conte t. I n football, in hockey, i n everyth ing the class of '30 is well represented . We are a mixed lot of fellow , but we're united in one or two things which we have already learned, and one of the e is loyalty to our college.

Senior Class History Many's the long year I have ticked away the hours in this Foss Hall, many a re the insults which my tell ing face has endured, many are the con versations to which I have Ii tened, but never before have I seen fit ·�o speak. "What," you ask me, "has m oved you to this burst of eloquence ?" It is to bid farewell to the women of the class of '27. Day in and day out, yea, "nights in" and "nights out" for some, I have watched them file past to meals, to c lasse , to church, to movies, to dances. and to gym, and never in my clpck existence have I seen a more j ovial, en thusiastic, and "co-ord"-inate group. Yes, they are conscientious too, but not painfully so, for I'll confess they haven't worn themselves out with study. They have preferred to take part i n all activities. In hockey, ten nis, and volleyball, they have taken great i nterest, although times seem to be few when they have acquired championships, yet, they did get the big Health League cup in 1 926. Delightful tales of their corking good times at hops, shuffles, parties, games and even doleful tales of quizzes and exams have amused me, as they eagerly waited for me to tick the hour for the last call for meals. A great class of experimenters these girls of '27 ! Last year, as J uniors, they surprised and am used most everyone with their pre sentation of "Twelfth Night" in modern costume. Of course, some disap proved of the lack of Shakespearean dignity of the comedy, but, my word ! Those girls j ust couldn't be dignified. It is most amusing to see their vain attempts to assume becoming dignity this year. To these young women whom I have watched unfold from green fresh men buds t o cultured senior flowers, I now bid farewell with con fidence, that, wherever they may go, of them Colby will be proud.

Sop homore Class History " May she e'er be proud to guide us Dear Colby, the Blue and Gray, To the goal she has set before us, A beacon along l ife's way." For the best "all-round" class, we of 1 929 far excel. In athletics, i n stu d ies, i n social activities, i n loyalt y t o o u r beloved Alma Mater, i n c l ass spirit, and in talent we outstrip the others. We are exceedingly proud of our class, nor a re we le::.s proud of our Hoc key Championship, a nd loyal " rooters . " T h e "greenness" a n d "dumbness" of last year h a s d isappeared. Al though o u r class spirit was excellent last year it has i ncreased ten-fold this year . Our n umber i s not q u ite as large as formerly, but the quality i s j ust as fine and strong. Our t asks and responsibilities have increased. Among them i s that of helping to "bring up" the ignorant ones of 1 930. N o more do we open doors and serve all u pperclassmen, no more do we dance attendance at a superior's command-we, i nstead, are served, and give commands. We are confident that each year will increase our abilities, our use f ulness, and our fame. For the next two years we w i l l all strive for higher i deals, so that we may g raduate as the " prize class" of our own Colby.

The Colby Debating Society enj oyed a very successful season last year. The squad was made up of many old men and several new ones. I n all there were about thirty on t h e entire squad. While t h e teams f o r Colby lost the first th ree debates, all of the rest of the Colby teams were victori ous. This year there are many of these veterans left t o aid in the season. Several of the m ore formidable opponents that were encountered last year were : University of Maine, University of Verm01;t, University of New H am pshire, Massachusetts Agricultural College, Amherst College, and M iddlebury College. O n the whole, the season was very successful and there was quite a bit of material to work with this year.

TENNIS SEASON,
1 9 26
Beginning the year with the poorest of p rospects, the Colby Co1lege tennis team ca me from behind a n d built u p a squad of p l a ye rs which made a n u n us ual l y fine show ing for the season. Hea d e d b y Captain William M acomber, '27, the only veteran a n d letter man to retu r n , the squad worked d il igently and built a strong team from the l a rge group of a s p irants. " D u d i e " K n ox, '28, who had seen some experience in the p revious season, l a n ded one of the positions, while " Re d " Tatter s a l l , '29, and " Dent" N ickerson , '27, won the other positions on the team. With these men a s s i ngle players, and with M acomber and Tatte r s a l l , and K n ox and N i ckerson p a i r i n g u p in the doubles, Colby was well r e p resented i n a l l of the m atches. I n the State Seri es contest s , the Colby qua rtet defeated the Uni versity of M a i ne, 5-1 , lost to B ates Col lege, 4-2, a n d were defeated by the strong Bowdoin team, 6-0. A closely contested m a tch with New H a mp s h i re resulted in a 4-2 l_oss. The team j o u rn eyed to M a ssachusetts and held Worcester Tech team to a 3-3 tie, but l ost to the powerful S p ri n gfield U n iversity C l ub, 6-0. The State T ou rn ament, which was held i n W atervil l e, found C a pta i n M a comber a n d Tatter s a l l fighting for doubles honors, but they were forced to t a ke the position of r u n ners-up after playing the victorious B owdoin pair a n d putt i n g u p the stiffest type of competit i o n . T he m atch went the l i m it i n sets, and the Colby team deserves m u c h c re d i t for its a chievement. C a pt a i n M a c omber went to the semi - finals i n the s ingles tourna ment, while T a t ters a l l made a good showing for h i s first ye ar in collegiate tennis. The p rospects for the next season's team a r e very fine, with al l four of the letter men a v a i l a b l e , C a p t a i n M a c omber, K nox, T atter s a l l and N ickerson .

C l a rence Gould C a rl A n derson E dwa rd Roundy T h e outlook at the begi nning of the Hockey season was exceptional l y b r ight. The candidates for the positions left em pty by the grad uati ng c l ass of '26, were al l men who h a d been tried a n d were known to be capable of fi l ling those positions. An exhibition game with Bowd oin at W aterville resulted in a 7 to 2 victory for the Blue and G ray. The Colby team had the a dvantage t h roughout the game. T he high score was the result of one of the best exhibitions of team play ever seen at Colby. T he following games, with the R a mblers at Portl and, t he Un iversity of New H am p  s h i re a t D urham , Cabots at Watervil le, a n d the University of New H am pshire at Waterville were cancelled because of the weather. Colby then pl ayed an exhibition game with Bates at Lewiston which was very close, Bates winni ng, 3 to 2, i n the second over-time period. Two d ays l ater the B l u e a n d Gray made u p this defeat i n a 2 to 0 win ov e r Mass. Aggies a t Waterville.

The fi rst of the State Series games was with Bowdoi n at B ru n swick. This one bore n o resembla nce to that above. Both teams were i n the best of con d ition, and it was not until the end of the second over-time period th at the Polar Bears were able to break the tie for a 2 to 1 victory. The next game , with Bowdoin a t Waterville, resulted i n a 1 to 0 win for the visitors. Neither team h a d the adva ntage a n d neither of them seemed to be able to keep the puck. It was not until the second over-time period that Bowdoin succeeded in slipping a goal by West. T he following game with Bates was pl ayed i n a snow storm and was of necessity slower than it would h a ve been under ordinary conditions, b u t no l ess interesting to w a tc h . The Roundymen p l ayed their h a rdest, but the Bob-cats were not to be defeated, a n d c arried a 2 to 1 victory back to Lewiston. Colby then journeyed to Lewiston bent on a venging their defeats. This proved to be n o easy task. I t was not until t h e fourth over-time period that the M u l esters were able t o m a ke the goa l that gave them a 3 to 2 victory.

Women�s C olby Day "With hearts beating strong And with j oyous song-" did the members of the Women 's Division celebrate their Colby Day this year on Friday evening, October the twenty-second. The program was a complete success from start to finish with loyalty and college spirit running high. The open ing speech by Dean Reynolds, '14, was a cordial welcome to all alumnae and friends of the college. Following this were the class songs and speakers. E lizabeth Beckett, '30, spoke for the Freshmen, B eatrice Palmer, '29 for the Sophomores, H ilda Desmond, '28 for the J un iors, and Leonora Hall, '27 for the Seniors. After a vocal <:olo by Vivian Russell, '30, accompanied by Helen Paul, ' 29, Miss Minnie B unker, ex-'89, rose to speak for the Alumnae. And �hat a delightful, interesting, informal little talk it was, filled with reminis censes of the days when Colby was smaller in n u mbers, but j ust as large in the spirit of loyalty and ervire as it is today. How we enjoyed hearing of those days, of the fine old professors, the college life, the i deals and hopes of those earnest, young people! Yet we caught a glimpse i nto the realm of pleasure and fun, too, as she told of their l ittle parties and of the necessary "duty" calls a few days later by the embarrassed young men who had been so fortunate as to be invited. Indeed, we enj oyed · her talk, and were p leased to find that her transfer to the University of California had i n no way detracted from her fi rst love-that for Colby. The last n u mber on our program was an entertaining two-act farce, "An Open Secret,'' presented by the Dramatic Club. The characters were as follows : Madge Apthorp, a college girl Jean, her confidante Mrs. Apthorp, her mother Grace Apthorp, her sister, aged ten E dith l Elinor I Carrie � Classmates M ay I Kate J Agatha Meade, a girl not in the secret

Men�s C olby Night " The most enthusiastic and successful Colby N ight ever," was the unanimous opinion of all those present at President Roberts' ann ual rally, which occ u r red October 22, the eveni ng before the Bowdoin game. P resident Roberts evening.
presided and introd uced the speakers of the
H ersey Keene, a member of Colby's victorious 1 9 0 5 team, spoke first. H e was followed by Dr. Stewart of the same team. The principal speaker was D r. Herbert C. Libby, Mayor of Waterville. He declared that the team was backed by : a living and growing Colby ; an i nterested and loyal faculty ; the finest board of t ru stees i n the country ; an intensely loyal graduate and u ndergraduate body ; loyal friend s ; and the "greatest college president i n the country." Senator Wadsworth, ' 9 2 , chairman of the board of t rustees, next en couraged the tea m . Carroll N . P e rkins, ' 0 4 , the representative o f t h e board of trustees, reminded the team that all former Colby teams were watching them. D r. M a rq uardt, of the faculty, then rendered h i s usual i nteresting s peech. The two final s peeches were delivered by Coach E dward C. Roundy, and Captain Thomas F . O ' Donnell, '27. Coach Roundy asserted his con fidence i n the team and i n the fact that they were physically fit and wo u l d fight a good fight t h e next day. Captain O'Don nell expressed faith i n both team and coach, and a firm purpose to do the best that was h umanly possible. Perhaps the m ost encouraging event of this memorable Colby N ight was the P resident's prophecy that with i n two years Colby would possess a new gymnasi u m . T h i s w a s heartily seconded by Senator Wadsworth. The o ratory of the eveni ng was well suppl emented by the Colby and Hebron bands, and by the refreshments supplied by President Roberts which were served by " Chef" Weymouth.

Theodore Prescott E mery CLASS ODE Hail to thee, blest alma mater, Guardian of a fuller life, Lead us on to nobler efforts, Teach us mastery in the strife, N ot the mastery of our fellows, Not the gain of selfish praise, But the strong, eternal triumph Of each self through endless days. Short the years h ave been and fleeting, Spent within thy sacred halls, Learning how to heed thy message Sounded out when d uty calls. Guided by thy l ight inspiring, Truth has held before our gaze, Thou hast fostered, led us, nourished Praise to thee, our mother, praise. I n the year that lies before us May thy counsels give us m ight, Gird us for the life triumphant, Arm us for l ife's noble fight. Hail to thee, our alma mater ; May the scroll of fut u re days Show us ever true and loyal, P raise to thee, our mother, praise.

Dr. Mar quardt In Dr. Marquardt were combined the virtues of h is n a tive and of his adopt ive country. H e was typically German i n his painstaking thoroughnes , his scorn of superficiality, his pat ient endu rance of a grinding routine, i n the tenacity with which h e held to what he believed to be r ight and the fide 1 ity with which he discharged every known d uty. B ut, though born and bred i n the north of Germany, he had l ittle sympathy with the m il itaristic and imperiali tic ideals of P russia ; and with his bride h e early sought the privileges that America offered. And more keenly than the average native American he a ppreciated and enj oyed the freedom of life and breadth of opportunity w hich this count ry af fords. H e was proud to be an American citizen ; and when "America" was cal led for h e could sing i t l u stily straight through to the end and quite put to shame some of us na tives who are apt to falter and fall out on the later stanzas. To him ours was the " Sweet land of liberty ; " and he was one of its "noble free." I n politics, religion, a n d a l l o f life h e was an i ndependent, i m patient o f all c ramping d ogmas ; yet q uick to respond to sentiment. Who of us that knew him can forget the l i gh t i n his eyes and the m u ic in h is voice as he recited from his favorite German poet ? N ot only was D r . M a rquardt master of his own native language and literatu re, b ut he had also a quite remarkable command of the E nglish language, and was quick to detect and prone to criticise any sli pshod use of i t by us to whom it i s our m other-tongue. It a fforded h i m distinct satisfac tion t o be able to correct his student 's bl unders i n E nglish expression. D r . M a rquardt was a born teacher. He made the c lassroom exercise so a ll-absorbing that the problem of discipline, in the narrow sense of the word, rarely a rose. His happy tempering of sternness and strictness w ith flashes of p ungent wit and h umor saved him from the unhappy experiences that so many foreigners have when they undertake to teach our young barbarians. That same whimsical play of wit made a speech from " Dutchy" an in dispensable featu re of Colby N ight . Perhaps few of us realized the sleep l ess nights those speeches cost him before and after : before i n pondering what he would say, and after i n mourning over those "best points" that he forgot to bring out. What will Colby N ight be without him ? A n d what will Heaven be to h i m without his bel oved Colby c lassroom and campus-a n d California ? H e loved Colby and wa devotedly loyal to all her i nterests. H e loved his students and was intensely interested in t heir interests and enterprises. H e held i n memory and i n his affection a l l the s o n s and d a u ghters o f C o l b y w h o m h e h a d known i n his thi rty-five years of service, and watched ever with pleasure and with pride their suc cesses. And who can estimate his contribution to those successes, or count u p t h ose extra h o u rs that he so freely added to a n all-too-heavy schedule in his eager desire that all, even the slowest and d ullest, hould "make the grade." ·

Washington S quare" Ne""W" York City By BETTY MORSE Those of you who have been to Washington Square, South, may have caught u p a fragment of its temperament, but only a fragment. To know Washington Square, South, to know its temperament, you must live there among those tall, overcrowded tenements, that line the narrow, dirty streets ; among the cries and laughter, the songs and th reats of an Italian people that steadfastly refuses to become Americanized. . Then, having noted all this sordidness and squalor, if you l ooked across the park to Washington Square, North, you were agreeably surprised, and also a bit perplexed. These two streets, Washington Square, South and Washington Square, N orth, that face each other with only a park between them, are extremely opposite in appearance and temperament. Wa"sh i ng ton Square, North is an aristocratic street, and its i nhabitants boast of position, wealth and distinguished ancestry. The i rony of it ! These two streets, as unlike as can be, face each other almost defiantly, and only a small park, two or three blocks square, to keep them properly sectioned off. The park i tself is a place where a stu dent of human nature may go i n quest of material. There you may find occasional art ists from the neighboring Greenwich Village i n the conven tional garb of unconvent ionality, trying to put on canvas a replica of New York University, or the J udson Memorial, or perhaps Washington Square Arch. There you may also find students from the University, lolling about i n the sun, and watching the painted shop-girls who go by not at all u ncon scious of this appraisal. There, t oo, you may see nurse-maids perambulat ing their charges, or keeping a watchful eye on them as they play on the lawn. Occasionally these children of fortune, who are much t oo young to be aware of social differences, make advances to the dirty, ragged Italian children who romp about noisily. They attract each other for some u nknown reason ; perhaps the poor marvel at the handsome clothes of the rich, and the rich, i n turn , marvel at the slovenly rags of the poor. It is said that opposites attract. *

Four girls of possibly seventeen years of age were grouped together near the north side of the park. They looked like flowers, as sweet and expensively exquisite as a Fifth Avenue Shop could make them. And right in the middle of that pageant of flowers, like a splash of color, a single purple dahlia, was Toinette Givan n i o, very evidently from the Italian dis trict to the south of the park. She was dark and exotic, and of a rich, lus cious beauty. She was like a dahlia, only she lacked its fine, delicate finish. The girls who had encircled her, were imploring her to do something, but she was abashed at their loveliness. Their grace and poise made her feel self-conscious and awkward. She seemed c onfused. "But I can't go, " she was saying i n l iquid tones. "For one thing, I haven't the clothes. I live down that way. " She pointed south. "What of that ?" replied a slim girl in blue. "I will lend you one of my d resses. Oh, perfect ! My pale gold chiffon with your j et black hair ! Grit, wouldn't she be the belle of the ball ! My dear Toinette, you m ust go ! We shall all meet at three tomorrow and make more arrangements. Bye ! " T w o hundred eight
Three girl waved a farewell, and made their way n orthward arm i n a rm . They were Margaret A lcott, E leanor Peck, and Joan Sumner. ( You have heard of these prominent fam i l ies, no doubt. Their names are known not only i n New York, but i n Paris, Vienna, and London. I n the old days of the Metropolitan Opera H ouse, when only the distingue could afford to attend, a l l eyes were promptly centered o n these elite as soon as they en tered their boxes. A low buzz would lift on the air and hover there until the rise of the c u rtain . ) And now the daughters of such families were making a peculiar move. They were asking a person from "below" t o one of their parties. Had social distinctions been erased, then ? Had classes of society moved u p o r down, according t o their positions, and merged into one ? No, that had n ot yet come to pass. These girls, children of the rich, had no altruistic purpose in m i n d . I n fact, they had always made it a point to snub all those whose stations in l ife were below their own ; but these girls had played together in the park as children. Grit had had an Italian n u rse who used to bid Toinette's mother the time of d ay, while the children overcame their fi rst shyness and became q uite friendly. As a youngster of five, Toinette was fascinated by these fortu nate children, who in t urn were attracted by her. B ut as they grew older, they realized that the park was not a m e lting pot ; it was a barrier between two classes. They realized that snubbing was n ecessary t o show their superiority. On the part of Grit and her friends, snubbing was requ ired t o put persons i n their proper places ; on the part of Toinette, snubbing was required to maintain some dignity. Living in adj acent neighborhoods, they met freq uently, and Toinette often received the condescension of a pert nod of the head in recognition ; she a lways returned the recogn ition as condescendingly as possible. N ow, they had actually stopped her on her way from high school and i nvited her to a party. It was almost unbelievable. Why, Toinette pon dered. Why ? While she washed the supper dishes, and attended to the fire i n the stove, while she prepared her studies for the n ext day, she asked herself this question. And then, woman-like, she knew. It came on her all at once, and she felt that its truth was unquestionable. How d o women know '? They j ust know,-that is all the answer one can give. I t was-it m ust be-Margaret A'lcot t 's brother, William. When Toinette was quite small, William, who was then called " B oy," had force fully tried to take from her a n old stick that served, with the help of a faded pink ribbon, as a doll. She had immediately raised the stick, to which only a moment before she had been crooning a l ullaby, and bro ught i t d ow n heavily on Boy's head. At once there were screams, tears, a m other apologizing profusely to an outraged n u rse-maid, and a public beat ing for T'o inette by her parent. S ince then Boy had held 'her somewhat i n awe ; fear was m ixed with admiration. E ven when, during the process of growing up, a n unwritten law pulled them in opposite directions, this incident was not forgotten. Toinette sensed William's glances of a pproval as she passed him, although she did n ot venture to look his way. That was it ! William wanted to see her ; to see of what stu ff she was made. Well, she would l et h i m see. The only difference b etween them, after all, was that their parents were rich while hers were poor. Their fine manners came from the private t utoring they got. The tutoring was a result of wealth. It a l l came from m oney-. She stormed and raged about wealth, and how poorly a pportioned wealth was. Two hundred n ine
When the day of the party arrived, Toi nette wa in Grit' room, admir ing her elf in the long gla . Her borrowed gown of gold ch iffon made her look l ike a young god de . She wa lovely, and knew it. She wa formally introduced to William ; he acknowledged the intro d uct ion as formally. Could he be Toinette Givannio ( she thought ) brought up in squalor and uglines ? With what magn i ficent bravado she took her place beside him, on a divan i n the win dow, piled high with beau tifu l cu hion , and at there between horror and fascination. She thought of unl ight laugh i ng in and out of pri on bars, and the i nner glow that pose sed her, pread o u t and made her eye cint illate. This, then, wa the capt ivating world which alway eemed to stretch ju t beyond the reach of her finger tip ! Thi mu ic, thi dancing, the e pretty gi rl , this lovely room ! She had quite forgotten William. What had he been aying all this time ? Oh, yes-that tick with the pink ribbon. She managed t o an swer yes or no occasionally, although she barely heard what h e said. When she had danced everal time -alway · with William, and a lways returning to the d ivan i n the window she began t o sense a n uncomfortable ituation . She realized that everyone at the pa rty held h imself or h erself a l i ttle aloof ; that William too, wa merely satisfyi ng a peculiar whim. They had found a cheap toy in a ten-cent tore and were going to play with it a while, then to s it away in scorn , and return to their more expensive playthi ngs ! Toinette looked about her. Until now, she had been blinded by the sumpt uousness of the place ; but all at once he saw t hrough it. Here were these gi rls, i rresponsible, vain snobs. What did .all this amount to-all this sparkli ng, i nce sant talk, almost gush ing as if bidding for favor or popularity ? Is this what the n orth side stood for ? Mere mechanical l ife, false relationsh i p , and perpetual convention. It was not for Toinette. At least there was purpo e in life at the south side. She liked t hat word "pu rpose." She was only seventeen, and could not conquer the world, but she wa going back to her south side with a pu rpose. She would t each , preach, and practice t here, and lift their living to a h igher plane. "Care to dance this one ?" William looked h opeful. "Well, j ust this one, and please, I should l ike to be taken home." "What ! So soon ! L ife has n ot begun yet ! " "No, i t hasn 't ; b u t it starts with a purpose n ow. Just one dance and I must go. " She went . The next morning she remarked to her work-worn mother, "Did you ever know t he difference between there ( pointing a finge r ) and here ? We have wooden sticks about which we tie a pink ribbon, and we build u p d reams about them . The stick becomes a doll . The doll becomes real ; it talks, etc. They have real things, lovely dolls, and fail to see their value. We have purpose ; they drift . That's the d ifference between Wash i ngton Square, North and Washington Square, South. Give me this side ! "

L ORRE : I couldn't go through Santa Barbara without seeing you. Do you m i n d ? ( Mae smiles in reply.

MAE ( crossing, and seatin g herself on t he diva n ) : We l ike it here. Won't you smoke ? LORRE (1a.s he takes a worn package of cigwrettes from his pocket ) : My, but you m ust be h appy here. ( M1a e 1mdioates that he is to sit in the easy chair b y the fire-place. L orre accepts the pro/erred cfuair and sit-s, his legs nonchalantly crrossed, the fingers of one hand oaressing the textwie of t he chair arm while the other hand holds his cigarette. He m uses, g.azimg thought fullty at the ciga rette. In the silen ce th·at follows, Mia e covertly studies L orre. ) M A E : When did you come out, Lorre ? LORRE ( s-till m usimg ) : Last week. ( Lorre fum b les mth the package, and ofjers ,a cig,arette to Mae. She accepts it and s mooithes it o ut . They both light up. L CYrre simks ba,ck into the ch;air. ) LORRE : I 've quit the store. I bummed my way out from New York to San Francisco, and got a l ift down here yesterday i n a car. I 'm going to paint stage scenery i n Los Angeles. That wiff make enough money to keep me alive while I ' m doing my own painting. But I will be here i n Sant a Barbara two or three weeks before I go. MAE (�m p ulsiv ely, as she thinks of the vacation the.{, ha,s b een planned) : B ut- ( oalm er) That's j ust wonderful, Lorre. I'm so glad you l eft. You hated that j ob so. LORRE (,animate d ) : Mae, do you remember the day you said I'd never have the courage t o leave the store ? That was the day we had a long argu ment about your solo dance with the O ukranski Company. ( Mae nods Well, a month later, about t h e time y o u married Max pensiv e lty . ) Dahlgren, I got a raise. Then a nother followed, and father congratu lated me o n settling down. About two weeks ago h e made me head of the furniture department-that's a pretty b ig j ob, you know. He told m e that he was glad I had given u p trying t o be temperamental . H e l ooked s o damned solid and comfortable that I laughed i n h i s face, went back to o u r-wel l ( with an QIJ>Ologetic s mile ) my rooms, a n d n e v e r saw the office a g a i n .

LORRE ( leaning back, a n d blowing s m o ke thoughtfully tow ards the ceil ing ) : I like the way you are wearing your hair, now, Mae ; so black a n d wavy, a n d careless. MAE : Thank you, Lorre. Max made m e change it. LORRE ( Starts t o smile. He rises and strolls around the room . He g oes t o the table and disinterestedly turns a few leaves o f a b ook lyimg there . ) : You should be happy here, Mae. MAE ( curtlty ) : We like it here. Two hundred thirteen
LORRE ( still a ppa re n tly interes t ed in t h e book ) : Max till with the same company ? MAE : Ye , Max is still with Rathburn, Starr and Boyd. He is manager of the Santa Barbara office. LORRE : See m uch of the Man field crowd ? They are here, I understand. MAE : No, we haven 't een any of them. Max doe n't like them very well. ( L o rre closes the book, s t ubs his ciga rette in a t ra y o n t he ta ble, looks at Ma e, t·h en st rolls to the bookcase ( righ t ) , where he beco m es in ter est ecl in looking o v e r the shel es.

LORRE : You've given up dancing ? MAE : Yes, I gave up dancing. Max thought-Oh, Lorre, have you another cigarette ? ( 1L orre fis h es o u t a nother ciga rette a n cl offers it to Ma e. He lights it for h e 1· 1across tok e t a b l e . He looks a g a in a t Mae who i s sta ring into the fire-pLace ; re-a 1'?·a nges the t rinket o n the table, then goes t o th£ French window and looks o ut . )
LORRE ( t u 1'n ing s u dcle n l y ) : For God's sake, Mae, where are you going ? What are you doing ? I can't bear to ee you rot a way here you with so much. · ( Ma e s h rugs her sho ulde rs indifferen tly. Lorrre com es up to the cha ir he has vacatecl a nd cl ra ws it close to the diva n . ) Have you forgotten that wonderful night when Olive Sterns played for you, and you danced and we all sat around on the floor, or on the l ow bed spri ngs in the corner of Peggy's big living-room on Perry Street ? You danced wonderful1y, Mae. I guess you are laughing at me because I came here after vowing that I'd never see you again if you left me and married Max. The vow was stupid, I guess. Stupi d ? Maybe i t was stupid o f me to come. ·

HOW GREAT What constitutes a great football team ? Ideals of greatnes¡s vary. Mohammed woul!d 1have differed with Christ, Na poleon with Lincoln, and so on. Each of us has h is conception of what greatne i . The writer of this a rticle happened to be trailing a big bus once, i n w h i c h w a s a college football team going o u t o f state to play another college where a kid was selling sand team. The bus stopped at a crossroads . . wiches. A member of the team asked the boy to hand the basket in through the door so each might have a little lunch. With an eager grin -Che kid passed the basket of sandwiche to the player. Here was business. Here was more money than he'd made in a long time. But wait a minute. Suddenly the basket came flying through the door and l anded at his feet . "Here, kid, here's yer baskit. " A number o f wise cracks came from within t h e bus ; then they were gone. Not a cent had been paid for the sandwiches. Not even a thank you. The kid began to c ry. But it wasn't to patch a broken heart that I passed him a two-dollar bill. I hate to see a kid lose faith in h u man nature, especially through a football team, where he's su pposed to find it. There must h ave been some man on that team who wanted to pay the boy, but maybe he'd have been the butt of a few wise cracks. A football player isn't supposed to show emotion. Anyway it was a pparent that no one in the car knew that one on the side of fai r play is a maj ority. Was that a great football team ? ANON. A BRICK AND A MAN T ry as I will, Do what I can, I like a brick More than a man. Take u p a brick And throw it down ; B reak it in two, Toss it aroun d . L a y u p a brick, And there 'twill stay, But you can't t reat a man I n j ust that way. I like a man Less than a brick, For one will run, While the other will stick. R. M . G. Two htundred s ixteen
FAMILIAR A n a rtifex w h o m I h a v e never known, There dwells within the c unning case of bone, That d omici les the part of me that thinks. Sequestered, there h e l ives and works alone. At times by strain i ng of the inward eye, I have been able secretly to spy U po n this craftsman hid, but could not tell If he t o me were foeman, o r ally. When he desires, on the anvil of my mind, To some formation strange by h i m designed ; He eats a m orsel of my thought, wherefore I know its e sence only, not its kind. H imself the same a lway, his o utward guise Is m u ltiform. New shapes he occ upies ; But still there is in a l l of them some m a rk By which the hidden dj i n n I recognize. A hairy carcass, with a matted skin Caught round its ribs and h a u nches thin, That m arked o n stone with charred and c rumbling wood, Thus once I saw him ; grisly was h is grin . A rugged form, in smoky l eather d ressed, With frost scarred cheeks and eyes wind stressed, Whose gnarly hands were sore perplexed to carve O n ivory tales his prowess to attest. A roaring sort of man with lovelocked hair, H.is table littered, ale pots, rapiers yare, H e writes, a n d j ests, and blows a n errant kiss. I ' ve watched him laugh, I 've heard him swear. Half hid within a d i rty hood, his face D eep l ined and scowling, eyes that ever race About the parchment sere before him spread, A monkish man, a n ugly, grim grimace. Two hundired seventeen
And once, nay, more than once, hi month adrool, His wry rib. wrapped in motle , on a stool Odd carved, before an em pty th rone he wept His ob made ring hi belled cap-a fool. I ee him mo t a cholar old and sage, A cou rteou , gentle man, and glad to wage Profound discou re, with stately, graceful peech ; The apience of his lip denies their age. If only once I could break through and seize Him fast, and make him train the sodden lees Of t ime, put on and doff h i everal per ons, The things he'd tell ere he regained hi ea e ! CYNICUS.
SONNET CONCEIVE D IN A MOVIE I fear that love i but a deep m orass Of doubt, a fleeting phantom of despair, A draught with bitter d reg , and doomed to pass With swiftness of a falling comet-ft.are.

But like the warrior who, sword-pierced lies Inside a tent and with h is fa iling breath Deludes h imself ancl m ockingly denies With song and j est the imminence of death.

THE FOOL AND THE K I N G A k i n g h a d once seated himself down to eat, When a fool perchance entered and knelt at his feet, And he said, "O, good master, please give me a crumb, I 'm sick and I'm hungry, for m iles I have come." The king tu rned and scowled as he said t o the fool, "Get hence, lazy knave, for I 've made it a rule That none shall come here and receive e ' re a thing 'Till first they give something that's good for the king." Then u p rose the fool and the king sadly eyed : "O Master, remember the Savior who died O n the cross years ago by old Galilee, How He once bathed the feet of one lower than he." Then mild grew the king as he said to the fool, "Eat, my good man, for you've paid me i n full. Drink from my glass and taste each fine thing, For you 've surely brought something that's good for the king." R. M. G.
CON SOLATION Under the stars at n ight there comes to me A vision of the destiny of man. Touching witb soothing hands a restless brain, Healing an aching heart made sick by strife. And needless pain-j ust retribution for My own shortcomings i n my daily tasks. Consoled by this there v isits me a peace Which by its potent charm enables me To view all men and things with calmer sight To measure and to balance without fear And give to every man the j ustice due ; A courage too, that rushes through my veins, A river crystal clear bestowing l ife On parched and burning sands. The mind of man, Made over cautious by rebuffs of day, Needs such a restoration, else his fears Turn all his gai n to loss-and b lessed hope That, though we know not whence our lives m ay come, Nor whither bound that thing we call our soul, To die i s but to live ; that l i fe goes on B eyond the grave i n brighter, better, ways.

Before Taking After Taking TESTIMONIAL I was an instructor i n a small college in the E ast and to recover from the effects I began taking V I V O -VI N O and the re ults were aston ishing. I began to think I was somebody and knew something. For yea rs I suffered with insom n i a which manifested itself everywhere, but in the cla ss-room, where I often ;vent sound asleep. Occasion a l l y I w o u l d w a k e , but this w a s n o t often. I g r a d u a l l y g r e w thin until m y friends no longer recognized me. O ne morning I went to put on my tie before the mi rror and to :my chagrin I found that I h a d tied it to the broomstick which stood d i rectly behind me. I could stand it no longer-time and again I fell t h rough my collar-at l a s t I heard of a remarkable discovery- V I V O - V I N O-and knowing it could make me no worse I decided t o t ry a bottle. The resu l ts were quick and positive. I began to get to class on time a n d actually began to have something to say when I got there.

Two huriulred twenty-se1Jen
At the Last Golden Da"Wn When the artist of ages has painted the east i n a last golden dawn, And my soul w ith the souls of the millions shall rise at the sound of His horn, And shall gaze on the work of the artist and follow the colors that blend, Shall I read i n His canvas the secret of life and the "why" of the first at the end ? Shall I stand and recall the despair of my youth, and its doubts and its hopes, And recalling, be cast once again i nto doubt by the soul that still gropes '! Shall I dare 'gainst rebuffs of the past to anticipate Sesame then, 0 ye artist of ages ; ye architect ancient, etern al, and m aker of men ?
I shall dare !
I shall h ope !
¡ I shall l ive b ut to l earn, b u t to read as you
paint. I shall follow your work ; I shall glean what you mean, be the tracery faint, I shall learn to d iscern by your work of the past, by your pastels of youth, That at last, when the picture time's infin ite dawn, I may know and be known by the truth. R . M . G.
