THE PROPHECY JVIuffled in furs, I vvas seated on the hotel veranda thinking ho,v 111uch I liked St. TVIoritz and ho,v I vvishecl that instead of being fifty years old I ,;verc a joyous tv,1 enty like the youngsters gan1boling in the snovv before 111e.

"J\1y 1nail, Pierre!" she said in French and upon receiving it distnissecl the 111an.
Idly I glanced at the topn1ost letter in her hand. Countess de lviirando-no one I knevv. rl'hen 111y eyes ,verc riveted on the post 111ark. State College, Pennsylvania! I leaned over and touche(l her arn1. As she turned to\varcl tne I noticed that she ,vas not 111uch older than T but had been suffering fron1 ill health. "Pardon 111e, but do you have ~cquaintances in State College?" I asked breathlessly.
"Oh! yes," she replied ,vith a shrug: "I vvent to high school there." 1~he11 abruptly the conversation s,vitched into English.
"Sis Egolf !" "Louise!"
"But ,,vhere did you get the name Countess de 1\1irando ?" I asked.
"I 1narriecl the Count, of course," ,vas the son1ev. hat injured 1
reply. "But--but wasn't there son1ething about a-a-Bony-Bony Gravatt?"

1928 JUNIOR PLAY In accordance ,vith the traditions an<l cnston1s of the high school, the class of 1928 spent the early part of the second se111ester in developing an interest in the clra111a (ten1peran1ent), and on l\!Iarch 4 and 5, 1927, presented the annual Junior l)lay in the high school anclitorinn1. }~ach cast gave one perfor1nance.
In selecting its play, the class departed fron1 the usual custo1n of choosing a farce or a light con1edy, and chose "lVfrs. Partridge fJresents," by l'viary I(ennecly and Ruth Ha,,vthorne. This is a ,vell-,vritten con1edy dran1a, vvhich develops a then1e of keen interest to 1noclcrn parents and their children in a not too serious ,vay. 'l'he intelligent coaching of J\!Ir. Alton IVIiller of last year's faculty, the thorough 1vork of the 111anagerial staff heade(l by J---!arolcl Stoddart and 'J(enneth Sauers, and the earnest efforts of the actors, united to n1ake the play a clran1atic and a financial success. lVIaisie Partridge, a vvell-kno1vn N'evv York 111odiste, is very an1bitious that her children should fulfill the drea111s of her ovvn youth. She vvishes her daughter, Delight, to vvin success as an actress, and. her son, Phillip, as an artist. She does not realize that Delight -.,;,,rotllcl prefer to live a "norn1al, protected life," nor that Phillip has secretly dedicated his life to the "great out doors." Maisie finds herself in a preclican1ent brought about by the leasing of part of her business building to JVIaclan1e T_,a Fleur, the French n1illiner. She has clone this vvithout consulting Stephen, her lavvyer. Delight and Sydney -.,;vish to get 1narriecl, but J\1aisie vvill not hear of it. Phillip plans to go to Europe ,vith Charlie, hut again l\lf aisie is opposed. All this adds to her distress, and hovv she "pulls the strings" to accon1plish all her desires is port1~.:ryed in the play.

Serving a rather colorless apprenticeship, the class of '29 has stepped into the spotlight of recognition in its Junior year.
Entering the field of clra111atics for the first tin1e, ,ve proved ourselveS able follo,vers of the J\1ask and Dagger in the production of "A Pair of Sixes.-"' In the scope of belles lettr,es vve ,vere pioneers in that we secured an official representative on the present l\tlaroon and Gray staff and in that an issue of The Piper was edited by a: staff con1posed solely of Juniors. Athletics afforded us opportunity to rise to heights. Above the strife and s111oke of the inter-class basketball tournatnent -rose the Black and Orange banner of the Junior class, triun1phant. On the day of the annual faculty-school cha1npions gan1e, the Terrible Tutors fell hefore the onslaught of the Jaunty Juniors. Upon the chests of the Juniors rest seven S's av,rarded for service on the undefeated 1927 football tea111. \'v e now gaze for,vard to the acn1e of our school careerour Senior year.

FOOTBALL SUMJVIARY 1'he 1927 football tea1n has been an indication of the grovvth of a better school spirit at State High.

Zerbe through a very successful season. Coach Zerbe vvas able to rely on t,vo ful1 tcatns both of v路vhich sho,ved ev:iclence of real ,vork. Our boys played a season of nine gan1es, vvinning each one. The outstanding gan1es ,vere those played ,vith Tyrone, l\!Iechanicsburg_. and l,evvistovvn.

BASI(ETBALL SUMMARY At the close of the football season, Coach Zerbe isSued a call for basketball candidates. 1\bout forty n1en responded. The squafl vvas divided into different groups and in this ,,vay Coach Zerbe 路v,ras better able to see ,vhat each 111an could do. The squad ,vas finally cut clovvn to fifteen n1en, and then real practice began. The basketball tean1 ,vas crippled by the Joss of all but one of the n1en on last- year's ch::nnpionship tea1n, vvho vvere graduated in 1927. Consequently the boys ,von a fevver nun1ber of gan1es than ,vere won last year, but their spirit ran high and they put up a gan1e fight. 'rhroughout the season no tnan ,vas sure of his position and thus each one 111acle a 111ore detern1ined effort to secure a place on the tean1.

Extracts fro111 "The Viper", Sister Paper to "The Piper" and "Breezy Stories" "SPAGH ETTISBURG ADD RESS" Son1e 111ore and seven years ago, Tony lVIussoliny transported into this country a nev.r ration, conceived in Sicily and brought hither ,vith the Italian proviso that all spaghetti tnust be three feet long. VVe are still struggling vvith its odd proportions, \Vondering ,vhy any spaghetti or 111acaroni so constructed can so long endure. \i\>'ho has not at some feast or other 1net this elongated, totnato sauced, cheese sprinkled doughboy fro1n Italy? 'Vi/e have thro,vn etiquette to the vvinds and rocked the foundations of society that this delicacy might live. Is it altogcther fitting and proper that ,ve should eat this? Correct deport1nent vvill never allo,v us to n1asticate, to transport properly .fron1 the rlish to its final resting place, this destroyer of all the better grades of the perfect feast. The vvorld ,:vill little note nor long ren1e1nber vvhat v,re ate here, but it can never路 forget hovv ,ve ate here. It is for us novv living to so n1odify the linear proportions of the ne,,r cross-cut, single hore, do1nesticated, non-skidding spaghetti. By accon1plishing this vve can rest assured that ,ve have not lived in vain, that this nation under Coolidg-e, shall have a short '"'ave length spagh.etti, thereby abolishing dining a la solitare so that the table 111anners of the people shall not perish, and confirtning the adage that spaghetti of any other length ,vould sn1ell as s,vect.
