THE APPROACHING graduation of the Class of 1929 is to us an important event. Until now we have had no other thoughts than of school, and graduation has been our aim. Now comes a pause-we have finished our first mile, we must make our first important decision-what are we going to do; what is to be our aim in life? Many of us have attended Claremont schools since our kindergarten days and as we have advanced class by class we have been given the best instruction, and have had the friendship of our teachers. We owe them much gratitude for their consideration for us. We have enjoyed taking part in the school activities. It has been with a spirit of loyalty that we have endeavored to make Claremont first in scholarship, in music, in dramatics, and on the athletic field, and many Senior names are on the honor roll. As ,ve finish this period of our training we do so with a spirit of good will and friendship toward our instructors and our fellow students. We enter upon our second mile with joy and enthusiasm and we will ever re• member our associations in Claremont High School.

THE EVENT wl1ich first brought the attention of the school to the Junior Class this year was the springing of their blue and white sweaters. Through the cooperation of the administration all the school was called out of doors by the ringing of the fire bell and when the rooms had been emp tied the class, having secretly donned their sweaters, serpentined around the building to the front steps where they gave several yells. We were well represented in athletics, having several letter men on each team. The climax of the first semester activities was the annual snow party. This was held at Big Pines, the Juniors and Seniors going together at the invitation of the Seniors. Everyone returned from the snow cold and hungry but enthusiastic. The Junior rings appeared late in the spring, after much discussion on the part of the class members. The final event of the year was the class picnic held every year at one of the beaches. The class advisors, Mr. Ewington and Mrs. Williams, have been un failing in their cooperation and sympathy and t'he Junior Class appreciates this fully. We have lost a few old members and have gained new ones. Our students have taken a larger part in school activities than ever before and we feel that the year has been most satisfactory.

NEVER HAS a clasii' entered high school with more zest an<I enjoyment than did the Tenth Grade in the fall of 1928. It was at o�/�4Pt that they were ready to take their full part in high school life. Members of the class have shown varied interests· and talents, and have been well repre sented in the numerous phases of school activities, participating in the dramatic productions, "'rhe Romantic Age," "Seven to On.e," and "The Confessional," and providing a large_ group of the chorus of the "Mikado." The musical talent of the class has been more conspicuous, perhaps, in the orchestra, to which we have contributed quite generously. While taking a less important part there, we have nevertheless showed our e,thletic prowess in all the major sports. We have had our she.re of fun also- a snow-day in the mountains in January and a beach party in the spring but we are perhaps most proud that our representation in the Honor So ciety is second to that of no other class in the_ school.

THE JUNIOR HIGH Sc11OOL has had a lively time this year with the annual Junior High party in the fall and a class party each semester. The Junior l ligh Student Bod,v party in November was an especially gay affair. each student costuming as a character of Guy Fawkes' Day. After the usual games and fun an e�igy of Guy Fawkes was burned ac cording lo the old custom in England. The lighl\\'eight football learn included four members of the Ninth Grade, all or whom rccch·ed their letters. Ninth Grade boys also partici pated in basketball. The Se,·enth and Eighth Grades sent a basketball team to Baldwin Park lo compete for the Junior Championship. Al though the,· were defeated reports ,rnuld indicate that they played a good game. The Junior High School has supported all athletics with a fair de gree of loyall,r and has endca,·orcd to contribute its share to the success or all the school projects.

THE HONOR SOCIETY, which is chapter 81 of the California Scholarship
.Federation, under the supervision of Mr. Saunders and Miss Peterson,
has had an active year. The enrollment of twenty-four _is the largest in its history. Each month one of the eight schools in the district---which includes Bonita, Chaffey, Citrus, El Monte, MonroYia, Pomona, and Puente -held a meeting to which a delegate and an adviser from each of the other schools were invited. At all of these meetings \ve were represented. On Friday, February 15th, Claremont was host to the district at a Valentine party which was given in the girls' gymnasium.
Novitiate pins and the
California Scholarship Federation life pins were awarded at a special as sembly held April 5th. The society took over the candy sale at noon and the proceeds constitute the funds of the treasury. On the whole the year
has been very successfu1.

THIS YEAR has been an extremely busy one for the League. Jn the fall the Big Sister plan was introduced, the Junior and Senior girls adopting SeYenth Grade sisters. Two parties were given for them.
The Confederation of Girls' Leagues of Southern California held the spring convention in Claremont and the successful undertaking of so important an enterprise is a thing of which we may be justly proud. The pansy motif was used throughout, the girls growing their own flowers.
In March the mothers gave a dance for which the use of the Woman's Club House was donated and to which Bob Morris generously contributed the services of his orchestra.
The proceeds from this were contributed
to the convention fund. The P.-T. A. sponsored two performances of the Galpin �farionettes for the benefit o[ the com·ention also. During part of the year the girls held penny dances in their gymnasium at noon.
The regular sum of money was set aside for the annual contribution to
the Orthopedic Hospital. With pleasure we look back on the past year, regretting to see it
close. We wish to express our appreciation of the cheerful cooperation of the teachers and all others in making the convention a success. / loge Thirt1J-/011r

SPECIAL PROGRAMS THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION ON FRIDAY morning, February 22, the Ninth Grade presented a very in teresting reproduction of the Convention which was held in 17'87 for the purpose of making our Constitution. The stage was set to resemble the assembly hall of the Convention and every state was represented by the pupils dressed in the costumes of the time. Each scene was opened as Florence Hinchcliff, in the character of History, told of the struggles and conflicts of wills and ideas which ensued during the Convention and then, turning back the pages of history, the scene was enacted before our eyes. This pageant was written and directed by Miss Peterson. Outstanding impersonations were Claude Wolfe as George Washington, Dorothea Hil ton as Benjamin Franklin, and Harry Colby as Randolph of Virginia. THE FASHION SHOW UNDER '!'HE direction of Mrs. Williams of the Domestic Science Depart ment The Fashion Show was presented on May 17th in a new and original way. Assisted by the Music and Art Departments, a very interesting program was given, all of the members of the sewing classes taking part. The girls of the Seventh and Eighth Grades constituted the choruses, the Seventh exhibiting dresses which they had made, and the Eighth, a pa jama chorus, singing ffl\'fy Stairway of Dreams." There was also a take-off on the Gilbert and Sullivan opera, "The Mikado," given earlier in the year, entitled "Three Little MADES from School." "Scenes on Hollywood Boulevard" and "Two Court Costumes" were other interesting features. After the program a reception was held for the parents and friends of the students participating.

ATHLETICS: LIFE TRAINJNG
FEW INDIVIDUALS stop to realize that competitive athletics provide a benefit, the value of which is l'ar higher than the commonly regarded benefits-physi
cal development and recreation. There exist in com
petitive athletics more elements similar to those of success in life than in any other phase of secondary education. Prominent among these are sportsman ship, self-reliance, co-operation, clean living, the
ability to "fight" under adverse as well as under
favorable circumstances, the ability to come up smil ing from defeat and start over with increased spirit and determination, as well as many others which are evident when one pauses to study the situation.
COACH HENDRICK
We are the smallest school in our league. Our material is somewhat more immature, due to the fact that our students are more advanced in school for their age. than those in most schools. Despite this we seldom finish last. But win or lose-finish at the top or in the cellar-our athletics are of supreme value if' our athletes are achiev ing the standards mentioned. We believe they are.

The afternoon of October 26 found a hopeful Claremont High School
eleven clad in newly issued gray jerseys and uncomfortably new. helmets.
We were up against the best team in the league and were heavily out weighed in both line and backfield. The first half ended with 19 points against us. In the second half some of the Bearcat drives were stemmed and we advanced the ball against them for a few downs. However, Bonita pushed over two touchdowns, failing to convert. JARVIS

CLAREMONT 0-COLTON 37
On Nov. 2 an obviously lean and hungry Wolf-pack slunk out upon the College turf in hope of wresting a game from Colton. However, the Yel lowjackets swarmed over our bewildered Wolves in the first half. The second half the Pack went back onto the field with bared fangs. Soon after the kickoff they took the ball. The old fighting spirit was up
now, and the team, led by Captain F. Hunter, made some pretty gains,
but the opponents invariably held. The first half was undoubtedly un fortunate but the last half deserves to be remembered. RINGE

CLAREMONT 6-CHINO 2
The following Friday we journeyed to Chino to decide which school would hold third place in the league standings. Our men kicked off and held the opponents for downs. We took the ball and carried it for first downs, but Chino, regaining the pigskin, opened a smothering passing offensive and kept Claremont with her heels on the goal line and straining evei'y muscle during most of the first period. In the second quarter we were forced to kick from behind our goal line. The line failed to hold and the Cowboys broke througl, to pounce on Morris, our kicker, giving Chino 2 points. The Wolf Pack resorted desperately lo passes in the last period. Mor足 ris tossed a pass to Carroll and the latter made twenty yards into Chino territory. In the next play Morris again located "Brick" and hurled a long high one. The "Flaming Wolf" had to leap high but he got the ball, broke loose and raced for a touchdown. We failed to convert but the game was won, 6 to 2. The victory came only after a great fight bet_;,een two evenly matched elevens. CLAREMONT 14-CORONA 6
Our last gridiron battle of the season was at Corona. It was Clare足 mont's game throughout but the fumbles kept us from scoring during the first half. Coach Hendrick started a lineup of boys who will all be back next year. This experimental team, contrary to expectations, held the Corona boys and played almost as fine a game as the older fellows who were dutifully warming the bench. The varsity took the field in the second half and their greater experi足 ence was soon obvious. The first score came when Ringe passed to Watkins who took the ball on the 25-yard line and ran for a touchdown. The con足 version was made by a pass, Ringe to Watkins again. Claremont again scored when Ringe intercepted a pass in midfield and dashed across the line. Watkins hit off tackle for the conversion. Claremont threatened the opposition's goal line many more times than she crossed it. In the fourth quarter Corona's aerial attack materialized into a touchdown. A place kick conversion failed. Browning and Sjobeck in our line and Thompson at center were again mainstays, while Captain F. Hunter in the backfield carried the ball. This game ended a fairly successful season with Claremont High School resting in third place of the Tri-County League.

CLAREMONT O-BONITA 32 CLAREMONT O-COLTON 31 CLAREMONT 6-Cl·IINO 6
FOR THE first time in the annals of Claremont High School there has ex
isted a lightweight football team. Coach Arrington, v.--,h his assistant John Martin, gathered around him all the tinymites anu organized them into battalions, line and back field captained by Leonard Towne. After great exertion enough were found to make one football eleven which on October 25 wended its way westward to tackle the Bonita infants. Our inexperience and lack of weight compelled us to drop the encounter 32-0. The next week they were trampled under foot by Colton's youths. The final sco,·e was 31-0. The last game and the best, was played with Chino on our sandlot. The Clare mont rooting section seemed to put a lot of scrap into the little fellows for the game turned out to be a thriller and well worth while. Chino scored first on a pass and a line play. Claremont made her six points when Hud dleston brought the ball around end sixty yards to a touchdown. We failed to convert and the score rested 6-6. Huddleston and Towne were outstanding in the backfield but Rankin and Wendt played great games. Trenery, Tompkins, McDonald, Pitzer, and Manning played consistently in the line, with Garner acquitting him self well at center. Babson and Robinson also deserve high praise. Page Forty-fi:ve

TIIE RECORD of the hea,·y\\'eight basketeers \\'aS rather discouraging this ,vear for although they fought hard and developed their floorwork to a high degree, it seemed that the;• were unable to get the ball through the ring. Coach Hendrick, with Captain Ringe, Sjobeck, Thompson, Dowell, Morris, McCull;•, and Leezer reporting regular];-, worked hard to fo1·m a well or ganized team. Later Jar\"is and Har\\'Ood \\'ere advanced to Class A rank. CLAREMONT 8-BONITA 30
In the firsl Tri-County contest of the season our team suffered a maul ing at the hands of the Bonita Bearcats in lhe Bonita gymnasium. New red and gra;- checkerboard suits, designed to aid our players in
locating each other and to dazzle the opponents into submission, were is
sued to the team. The bright togs, however, seemed to produce an opposite effect for fewer baskets were made by our boys and a larger score was piled up against them than in any other game.
Bonita began scoring earl ,v and 1 although our guards fought well, the
flash;• attack of the Bearcats enabled lhem to score regularly throughout the game. Our offensiYe was usually smothered before it was under way. /'oyc /•'orty-si.,

CLAREMONT 15-COLTON 11
The Varsity played their next game on the extremely large Berdoo Jaysee court but this did not seem to hinder them. Two lightweights, Jarvis and Harwood, were in the starting lineup. These fellows helped to win, for besides scoring two points each they played great games in the defensive zone. The team scored consistently during the first half. As a result of its irresistible attack Claremont had amassed a 12-3 lead, but Colton came back strong in the second half and this, in addition to the long court, began to tell on our shooters. The rock crusher boys scored eight points while they held us to three. Fine defensive work kept the oppo nents from overcoming our lead and the game ended 15-11. Although e,·ery man played well, Dowell and S.iobeck were outstanding, Dowell being high point man with seven to his credit. CLAREMONT 10-Cl·IINO 29
The following week Class A tangled with the championship Chino quintet in the Bonita gymnasium. After defeating Colton our hopes had risen, but here we met a team of greater ability. The first quarter proved that the Cowboys were quite apt at making baskets, for they netted eight points while the Wolves failed completely to find the hoop. At half-time a glance at the board showed us that we wt::re on the smaller en<l nf H 16-2 score. We added six points during the next period but Chino's tally rose to 23. Captain Ringe and Jarvis tied for Claremont high-point honors, each making four points. CLAREMONT I3-CORONA 22
The last game was played on our own slippery dirt" court. We should have won, but the team seemed to be listless; our fellows could not stand up on a dirt court and the opponents took advantage of the breaks. The conflict began with plenty of action. At the·end of the first quarter the score was 7-6 in Corona's favor. Gradually our five became more languid as the Circle City boys grew more vigorous, with the result that Claremont was relegated to the low position in Tri-County standings. Two men showed most of the fight and made all of the points for the home team, Morris dropping in seven and Dowell following closely with six. Po[Jc Forf!J•liCt'L'lt

CLAREMONT 9-CHINO 30 CLAREMONT 10-CORONA 18
The Lightweight casaba shooters passed an even less successful season than the Varsity, for they failed utterly in their endeavors to bring home a victory.
The team was composed almost entirely of green material, Jar
vis being the only letterman returning from last year's squad, and he was called to join the Heavyweights early in the season. Nevertheless, the players under the direction of Coach Hendrick strove to organize a smooth working five and at times succeeded in showing commendable floorwork. In their first league game the lights were defeated by Bonita 23-7. The principal force was Carroll who made five of our seven points. The Colton game the next week was a veritable scoring festival. Defeat was also encountered at the hands of the Chino quintet. , Their clever offense was too much for our guards and the final score stood 30-9 in their favor. The Corona game, which was the last, should have been won but the ball seemed to go everywhere but through the hoop. Claremont ended on the short end of a 10-18 score, Lewis making six of the ten points.

CLAREMONT 8-CIIINO 9 CLAREMONT 15-CORONA 8
Class C basketball rose in the esteem of the school by finishing the season with a higher percentage than did either of the heavier divisions. It is difficult to determine the value of Class C material until after the games are played, but with Fitts, Towne, Wendt, Huddleston, Rankin, Garner, McDonald, Colby, Manning and half a dozen others reporting reg ularly, Coach Johnny Martin undertook to form a league threat. With Captain Fitts disabled, our midgets played Bonita, but fell be fore them, 27-5. Not greatly disheartened the C weight tossers next tangled with Colton on the Berdoo Jaysee court in their best game of the season. The fast scrap wore out the opponents and enabled Claremont to capture an 8-5 victory. The next week witnessed a hard fight which re sulted in an 8-9 defeat. Claremont held the lead until the last few min utes when Chino eked out the winning points. The last game, played with Corona on the home court, was won 15-8. Huddleston, Rankin, Gar ner, and Fitts were the chief scorers while Towne and Wendt played con sistent games.

TRACK CONSIDERING THE number of men who turned out for track and the strength or the teams with which we had to compete this year, the local cinderpath men did fairly well. On March 8th Coach Hendrick took a group of ambitious performel's over to Bonita where Webb, Bonita, and Claremont held a track meet. No one �xpe�ted that we would make any points, but the team hoped to gain some experience. However, quite a fe,v of our men placed, bringing us a score of 13\/2 against 67½ for Bonita and 56 for Webb. Williams captured third place in the 880- and 220-yard dashes and tied for fourth place in the 100-yard dash. Third places were taken in the mile by Fischer, in the high-jump by Sjobeck, and in the shot put by Thompson. Morris took fourth place in the shot-put and in the 220yard low hurdles and Jarvis was fourth in the 220-yard dash. ln Class C division Claremont was valuably represented by a one-man track team consisting of Colby, who took second place in the broad jump, and fourth in the 50- and 100-yard clashes. l\luch encouraged by the scoring in the triangular meet at Bonita, our team looked forward to the Tri-County track and field meet which was held at Colton Tuesday, March 26th. Claremont placed fourth in the meet, Colton winning. Williams won second place in the 880- and fourth in the 220-yarcl clash. F. Hunter high-jumped into a quadruple tie for fourth place. Jn the final event of the day our relay team, consisting of Jarvis, F. Hunter, Williams, and Sjobeck, placed fourth. Page Fifty

BASEBALL With only four lettermen returning from last year's squad prospects of a 1929 baseball championship were rather dim. Coach Hendrick, with characteristic vigor, endeavored to overcome this and with Dowell, Ringe, Sjobeck, Jarvis, Morris, Thompson, Carrol, F. Hunter, Lewis, Wolfe and others formed a nine that at times showed team-work and power. Though we lacked experienced pitchers Ringe, Morris and Captain Dowell per formed very creditably on the mound. CLAREMONT 3-BONITA 22
The first League Baseball game for Claremont High was played on the home field, Friday, April 26. The Wolves seemed to have luck against them for they were led to a slaughter (22-3) amid a hitting barrage and an exhibition of loose fielding. A total of fourteen bingles was accounted for by our players. Our three runs all came in the third inning when, with Dowell and Sjobeck on bases, M6rris clouted out a three-bagger, bringing in the two and later crossed the plate himself. Two other hits were made, one by Jarvis and one by Dowell, who had a successful day at pilfering bases. Morris and Dowell took turns on the mound, striking out 5 and 2 respec tively.

The next Friday afternoon we entertained the Yellowjackets from Colton. Ringe, a new pitcher, was tried and found very valuable. He struck out fourteen during his seven innings on the mound. The remain ing two innings were pitched by Morris. Claremont failed to score in the first three innings while Colton made one run. The fourth game gave Claremont the lead. Lewis rapped out a three-base hit bringing in. Carrol and Sjobeck, and came in himself soon after. Ringe followed suit by knocking out a two-bagger which brought Doweli and Jarvis across home plate. Sjobeck and Lewis each made a run in the fifth. Thus we entered the sixth frame with a seven to two advan tage but for some unknown reason the local team blew up. Each team made thirteen hits but Claremont bingled six times when runs counted. CLAREMONT 4-CHINO 12
May 10 our baseball artists journeyed to "the place where everything grows." The game began auspiciously for Claremont, one run being tal lied in the first inning, but four runs were scored against us in the second. In the third, taking advantage of errors, the opponents brought in six runs. Morris then took the mound and the team braced up to hold the Cowboys scoreless for two innings, and a rally in the sixth brought in three runs, making our total 4. The end of the ninth found Claremont on the lighter side of a 12-4 score. The game was not as one-sided as this would indicate, for the Cowboys made most of their runs in the second and third innings, while the rest of the game was fought evenly. CLAREMONT 11-CORONA 17
The nine that went to Corona was crippled by the loss of two valuable men, Sjobeck and Ringe. Nevertheless, the team took a lead of 3-2 in the first inning, making it 7-6 in the fourth, and 9-6 in the sixth. Disaster overtook us when Corona piled up eleven runs in the seventh and eighth while we made but one in the eighth and one in the ninth. Morris, our pitcher, had a lucky day at the bat, with a home run and a two-base hit to his credit. Jarvis also knocked a double, while F. Hunter made the last hit of the season with a home run in the final inning.

TENNIS THE TENNIS SEASON this year was somewhat more successful than the pre
ceding ones. At the beginning of practice it was found that most of the candidates were experienced players.
After .several weeks of practice Coach Hendrick named the members of the team who were to represent Claremont High School. F. Hunter was chosen for first singles; Getzman, second singles; Clapp and Harwood, first doubles; Jarvis and Huddleston, second doubles. The girls' team was composed of Beatrice Blanchard, first singles; Mildred Ewart, second sin gles; Margaret White and Katharine Work, first doubles; Katherine Tay lor and Frances Popenoe, second doubles. On March 18 we competed with Bonita in the opening meet of the season. The boys won two matches and lost two. Unfortunately, the next week, only one match was won from Chino. The following weeks three out of four matches were taken from Corona and Colton respectively. This placed the Claremont boys third in Tri-County League standings. Getz. man was the most brilliant player, winning every one of his matches, while F. Hunter followed closely, losing only one. The girls did not end as near the top of the scale as did the boys but they all proved to be consistent players. Beatrice Blanchard was outstanding, while the doubles team of White and Work played very smoothly and effectively. Eight of the twelve composing this year's team will return next year.

THE DESERT GENII WE WERE carried along, at a dizzy pace, by a willing slave of steel over a broad ribbon of stone which we please to call the highwaY: On we went, following the great path, and so it was that we came out into the vast des ert-that terrible wilderness of sand and cactus, the forsaken land of nature.
On we sped and we rejoiced in our superiority; we reveled in our
sense of overwhelming power. "The might of man has conquered every thing," we said,_ "Here are the railroad, the telegraph, and the highway. The terrors of ·the desert are no more-the proud lords of nature are humbled." . . . But there is a change.- A shadow engulfs our spirits, the desert becomes menacing; the cacti twist into the frightful shapes of bogies in a child's nightmare, the joshua trees become alive-the genii of the desert warn us of impending calamity. At first we see them only in that terrible apparition, the whirlwind, known to the Arabs as the "dance of death." Then our eyes ·are opened . . . we see the great sand mountain in the background become alive with their forms as they patiently carry up loads of silt to build it higher. We see them whirling dizzily over the heated rocks in the dry river bot tom; we see them playing hide and seek among the great boulders at the base of the rocky bluffs. We escape from the spirits temporarily and visit a town in the desert -an outpost of the kingdom of man. Soon we hear grave news; we learn that a great battle for the supremacy of the desert is being fought between man and the war legions of nature. Unwilling to be participants, we take our leave but must pass again thru the playground of the desert sprites. We find the genii in a sullen and resentful mood which quickly turris to anger. They charge against us and we are caught in the battle. They toss sand in our path and the unhappy slave which bears us falters and stumbles. After blinding us with a screen of fine silt, the sprites attempt to trick us by misleading the feet of our guide. They darken our path with storm-clouds and while the lightning snaps and the thunder roars over our heads they buffet us from side to side in their wrath. Finally we es cape, but others, more unlucky than we, do not. They are hurled back by the angry genii, torn to pieces and scattered over the forsaken earth. Back in the sheltered valley and safe in a bower of blooms, we look back at the black, threatening mass of cloud. The battle is being furiously waged there. We have made the acquaintance of the desert genii and we acknowledge their power. -ROBERT TEARE.

A FOOTBALL THE TIRED business man was cleaning out his attic when he came across an old football. To a casual observer it would seem only an old piece of leather-rough, scarred, dirty brown in color, with seams split and old cracked rubber sticking out. The man did not see the ball itself, however, he saw only what it stood for, and lived again in the memories it brought up. The barely discernible '98 on its side represented a year of glory for him, the year when he had captained his championship college team. That tattered piece of leather brought back so many things. It meant struggle, the tenseness of bodies, the sodden shock of flesh on flesh, the muffled thump of a kicked ball, sharp cries, the joyful surge of triumph at the conquering of opposition, the agony of defeat, the elation of victory. In fact, all the hopes, joys and sorrows of the great American game of football were• conjured up in the workaday mind of a tired business man by one small piece of old leather. -CHARLES FITTS.

FROZEN
As THE MORNING sun slowly climbed the eastern slope of the highest mountain in Southern California, a lone figure slowly arose to his feet, shaking off as much of the snow as he could, and rubbing his hands to gether in an effort to procure some form of heat and circulation. How ever, he soon gave this up as useless, picked up his one blanket, brushed off all the snow which had not become ice and tied up the bundle with some frozen, rawhide string. On second thought he dropped the little roll of blanket, discarding it as he had done his pack not ten hours before. Standing in ·snow up to his hips, he looked over the eastern slope to the timber line now covered with snow. The huge pines were sheeted in white, and sparkling as if they were covered with diamonds. The early morning sun was reflected on the vast stretch of snow fields on every side -snow as far as he could see, with a blue sky above, and a great whiteness below. He looked back to the west. There was a long winding trail, the only sign of any life, breaking the white surface. He wondered how long ago it was that he had made those tracks. He felt hungry; he had not eaten for so long a time that he was beginning to feel that he would never eat again. So, trying to drive this thought from his mind, and with new de termination, he struggled forward, down the eastern slope. For hours, it seemed to him, he had fought forward, with a little halt now and then to try to ease his frozen feet and numb hands. The snow was again falling little flakes soft and hot, falling faster, melting quickly, but he went on · fighting the coming storm. Hope came at last. There was a footprint almost hidden from sight by the fast-falling snow. Soon it would be gone. He pressed on quickly lest he should find he was dreaming. A few steps farther and he fell face forward, for there, already half buried in the snow, was his own blanket roll. The snow was gentle now, even warm. He had never expected to find such a warm covering as it now made over him. Could he sleep"? He closed his eyes on a world of white, never again to see the deep blue sky, the trees heavily laden with their weight of snow, or the miles of smooth whiteness broken only by rolling drifts. Faster and faster the snow fell. It had covered all signs of life. The trees still held their heavy burdens till they could hold no more, and the clouds still drifted across a gray sky. -CHARLES WATKINS.

THE FORTU 1E TELLER IT WAS noon and she was standing against the wall in a crowded tea room, a slim figure, full of grace, and with olive skin, black, fluffy hair, and dark
observant eyes.
Her face was of a foreign cast, wan and pointed. Her
dress represented a motley array of bright colors-the skirt a combination of reds, yellows, and greens, hung long and full. She wore a black velvet jacket over a white waist. With a variety of colored beads, rings, and bracelets to complete her costume, she presented an altogether colorful and
bizarre picture. A woman sitting at a table across the room motioned to her and the
noonday task of fortune telling began. She read palms quickly, speaking with a foreign accent and using her long slender hands to emphasize her words. She rarely looked into the face of the one whose palm was being read, instead allowing her eyes to wander about the room as though in search of new patrons, and the patrons were many. The lure of hearing of -the past, the present, and the future attracts old and young. Middle-aged and elderly ladies were her especial clients. Their faces beamed with pleasure as she told of their "fates." Undoubtedly other people's fortunes held very little interest for her, but then fortune telling was a means of livelihood, and so day after day, week in, week out, during lunch hour, she made her way among the crowded tables. As the courthouse clock struck five, on almost any afternoon, for she was generally on time, one might see a figure leave the tea room by a side entrance and hurry away in the crowd. The figure was attired in an ordi nary street dress, a well-worn black suit, dusty shoes, and a small black hat pulled over fluffy hair. Tired lines played about her mouth and eyes, and with her small purse clasped tightly in her hands, she scarcely resembled the gaily dressed figure of a little while before. The vivacious fortune tel ler of the tearoom had stepped back into every day life. -TEMPERANCE SMITH.

BRINGING IN THE LAST LOAD It was getting cool in the evening and he had been working with a pitch fork on top of a load of hay all day. His muscles ached and his hands were sore but they had decided to bring in one more load. Out in the field, shock after shock came over the railing on the hay rack. He caught each, one on the end of his fork and put it in place, then tramp, tramp, tramp over the load to pack it. His legs were paralyzed with fatigue yet he kept driving them to do the work. It required a supreme effort on his part to arrange the hay with his fork now, and all the time he was tramping the load. At each step his feet would sink down till the hay was up to his knees. The rack did not seem to fill up half as fast as usual, and the evening breeze blew the smaller pieces of grass against his face and down his neck, constantly irritating him and making him wish that the day were done. Slowly the hay piled up and each minute seemed to be twice as long as the last one. There was not a muscle in his body that did not cry for rest. At last the load was big enough. With a sigh of relief he sat down in the soft hay and drove to the barn. To unharness the tired horses took but a minute and he went up to the house to a late meal, then to bed to get the rest necessary for the next day's work. What wonder is it that the sleep of the farm hand is sound? -ROBERT McCULLEY.

THE AIR MAIL The stars, unsually bright and large, sparkled against the jet black dome of the sky, seeming to be suspended above me like little lanterns in some dim palace hall. The rough, irregular cape of snow thrown over the slumbering mountains shone a faint silver. A warm breeze rustled through laden orange trees, bringing with it a faint dr(llle as of a bumble bee. The sound grew, and far off to the east appeared three little stars that moved. Faintly a dim shape took form in the sky as the drone in creased to a roar. The air mail! The flying lights on wings and tail outlined the graceful ship which now winged swiftly overhead, sparks shooting from it as it passed. Straight as an arrow it flew to the west, and the journey's end. The roar became a drone, then the drone only a hum. Three little stars twinkled and vanished. The breeze rustled the orange trees. The stars, unusually bright and large, sparkled against the jet black dome of the sky. -ROBERT FISCHER.

GEOMETRY I breathe a sigh and add a prayer. J see a book a-lying there. And as 1 turn the title page I curse that book in silent rage. Construction lines to "beat the band," Curves, angles, arcs on either hand. My head goes round in circles loo When I see the work I have to do. Yet when you think of all the things That in its wake Geom'try brings, Small wonder we must learn to tell Upon which line that one point fell. The splendid buildings in each land, And other things some "math" demand. And so it's not so hard to see Why we must learn Geometry. -L. L.

The London Observer relates a story concerning a small boy who came home and told his father he was now second in his class, the top being occu pied by a girl. "But, surely, John," said the father, "you're not going to be beaten by a mere girl." "Well, you see, father," replied John, "girls are not nearly so mere as they used to be."
Isn't it terrible all the money the men make, the women put on their backs. From appearances then lots of men must be out of work.

And then the group with sigh and moan, Took up the task with many a groan. Next day the class came slowly in With sunken eye and lowered chin, They received a just reward For reading what was on the board. -I.W.
