Although good laws do well, good men do better; for good laws want good men and may be abolished or evaded by ill men. ♦ • * That, therefore, which makes a good constitution must keep it, namely, men of wisdom and virtue, qualities that, because they descend not, with worldly inheritance can &<!» only be profligated by virtuous education of youth.—William Penn.

COLOPHON TO THE READER An y creation inspired by the soul and wrought by the hand of man, be it a fleeting shadow on canvas, a bit i of dancing melody, or the sweet rythm of a poem, has sprung from some vital impulse or ideal of life. The more noble the I sentiment driving the creator’s hand; the more noble his work. Yet no work can be ever noble save it snatch living truths and bare them to the eye of man. * * jJj 5-: :I: * Our country presents to the world two distinct criterions of its people—the \"faces” of democracy. Were you to ask the average European what is most unusual about us, he would probably reply, our government and our capitalism. These are the keystones of America and American democ- racy. Both are representative of each other; neither could exist without the other. Believing that progress lies in the cog-wheeled unification of these two, believing too that in them lies all roads of ad- vancement for the individual as well as the nation, we have endeavored, in this the physical representation of our efforts here, to clear the parellel pathways leading toward them, so that they may slip onward in your mind as one great highway of democracy.

The Builders LL are architects of Fate, Working in these walls of Time; Some with massive deeds and great, Some with ornaments of rhyme. Nothing useless is, or low; Each thing in its place is best; And what seems but idle show • Strengthens and supports the rest. For the structure that we raise, K, Time is with materials filled; Our todays and yesterdays K! Are the blocks with which we build. Truly shape and fashion these; Leaving no yawning gap between; Think not, because no man sees, Such things will remain unseen. —Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.

COLOPHON AT THE CROSSROADS OU to the left and I to the right, For the ways of men must sever— And it well may be for a day and a night, zind it well may be forever. But whether we meet or whether we part (For our ways are past our knowing), A pledge from the heart to its fellow heart On the ways we all are going, Here’s luck, For we know not where we are going. **** TTTITH a steady swing and an open brow ’ ’ We have tramped the ways together, But we’re clasping hands at the crossroads now In the Fiend’s own night for weather; And whether we bleed or whether we smile In the leagues that lie before us The ways of life are many a mile And the dark of Fate is o’er us. Here’s luck, And a cheer for the dark before us. —Richard Hovey. Page Fifteen

COLOPHON ELLEN C. ANDERSON \"Ellen” \"Her's is a spirit deep and crystal-clear Calmly beneath her earnest face it lies, Free without boldness, meek without a fear, Quicker to look than speak its sympathies.\" El LEN is everybody’s friend. She enjoys giving •what is her’s and the graciousness with which she lavishes it, makes even the smallest gift a great pleasure. She seems to have room in her heart for everyone. Rarely does Ellen frown, for she has learned the virtue of patience and of trust. Ellen appreciates the value of good books and reads them with en- joyment and understanding. Her dark brown eyes look out on the world as if she understood its intricacies and yearned to solve its problems. With these fine qualities, who doubts that Ellen will attain her goal ?

COLOPHON ROBERT S. BADER \"Bob” _L HE two corners of Bob’s mouth sort of tremble just before he bursts into a hearty laugh and his brown eyes sparkle with some prank or story that’s packed away inside of him. Bob’s record in his school career has been the finest that could be attained, he has won the deepest respect of his class- mates and teachers and with it all he has a sense of humor. He is ambitious, and what he undertakes he does well and thoroughly. But what to us all proves his real worth is his election into the National Honor Society, for here many have the opportunity but few are chosen. Princeton awaits a leader.

COLOPHON CHARLES E. BROOME L \\ '•Chas” I) C/HARLES’ winning personality and sunny smile have been among our treasures for four years. He has won our hearts with his frank, straight-forward ideas. Charles looks forward to entering Annapolis after he leaves us. If he con- tinues his earnest work there as he has here, we have every assurance of his success. He seems to bubble over with fun and good-fellowship and his humor is contagious. He has represented us faithfully in class athletics ana his fine sports- manship sets an example for us all. Your spirit will pull you over the top; Charles, do your best and good wishes. Hi-Y Club, 3-4; Class Baseball, 1-2-3-4; Class Basketball, 1-2-3-4; Class Soccer, 1-2. Page Eighteen

She has achieved much in the line of athletics, particularly basketball, and held the title of captain. Margaret’s charm lies in her enticing smile and magnetic personality. She has gained a host of friends both in school and out. She has shown splendid attitude by a sincere and constant effort to reach her best. JHer unbounded, ambition, and straight- forwardness are her f'a--v-o--r-a-b--l-e-- -a-s-s-e-t-s-, As she has won her friends at school, so may she charm those native souls as a missionary.

COLOPHON K. LOUISE EACHES \"Louise” In EVERY group there are those who care for the finer, worthwhile achievements in life, Louise throughout her high school career seemed to always accept only the best, the polished, if not the engraved product. In all activities Louise has been a willing and efficient worker eager to see each enter- prise, honestly originated, accomplished with outstanding suc- cess. Her dark brown curly hair and sparkling brown eyes coupled with a pleasing personality have won the hearts of her classmates and teachers. Louise anticipates a college career and judging from her record here with us it will be a brilliant one. We needed Louise’s suggestions in our social activities so the world may need her suggestions in theirs.

COLOPHON <)X$ A/ ' DOROTHY M. EVANS \"Dot” Do T'S hair is not more sunny than her heart and her blue eyes give back the sunshine with an added glow. She is reserved and quiet, seeming to give many her thoughts but few her words. Dot is trustworthy and eager to do her share. She must have been fashioned from the metal that produces \"doers”; it's sterling silver, is the kind the people of the world couldn’t do without. Dot is a student of the high- est type, she enjoys finding new and interesting material on old subjects. A deserving crown for her efforts through high school was her election into the National Honor Society, a real honor. Best wishes for your assured success.

COLOPHON / al\\ I RUTH V. EVANS \"Ruth” De EP in those dark brown eyes perhaps there lies a secret that Ruth guards as her very own, for she tells us little of her plans for the future and we try in vain to nibble from her conversation a clue to her ambitions. Ruth has been with us for three years, and we have learned a profound respect for this prim demure girl. Perhaps Ruth could tell us all the value of good sportsmanship, for she accepts a good joke on herself in the same spirited manner as if it were on someone else. Ruth is a studious, rather serious girl, yet we know that she will be rewarded amply for her splendid record here. Here’s luck. Glee Club, 4. I Page Twenty-two

GATES \"Norman” 1N[ OT from common clay was this classmate of ours fashioned, but the artist molded the tried clay of the Road with a handful from the mountain side, rich and pliant. Into this heap he breathed the strength of the virgin forests and the hush of the spacious prairies. Then he mixed laughter with the serious grain, and a flame to light the tender eyes. Holding the image upright in his hands he laid on it a sense of the Mystic beyond. The good will of tne friendly breeze was in him and the secrecy of the tall mountain. His words smacked of the mighty oak and his thoughts were its roots. Greater tribute to your worth is not within our power, Nor- man. We have every assurance of your success.

Arthur is more studious than the majority, and his spare moments he spends pouring over a text book instead of grouped with the idlers. He has at his command ready knowledge to aid his class mates— especially physics. Besides his interest in scholastic achieve- ments he has participated in athletics. Whatever he attempts he does with whole-hearted interest and does it well. If he has lurking behind those brown eyes a desire for success he is sure to achieve it.

If there is a load on your shoulder that is too heavy, Charlie will give you a hand. For his dependability and service, we are proud of him. He is quite a singer, too, you know, and though we realize that he does not intend to strive for Grand Opera, still we are pleased with his accomplishments. Charlie man- ages and manages well. We are confident that some day, with the aid of his Austin, he will climb to great heights.

COLOPHON I I nA MARY E. GUENTHER \"Mary\" Mary’s very solemn, You may think she’s quite sedate, But when you know her better, What might you not relate? ARY seems to prove that old adage \"Still water runs deep.” Few of her classmates have ever really dis- covered her true mettle, but beneath the quiet exterior lies a warmth of spirit and friendship. Two blue eyes, and the twinkle that slyly appears as she smiles, prove that Mary has a sense of humor. When Mary leaves us, she plans to enter Lasalle and follow a dietetic course. Somehow with her win- ning smile and perserverance Mary will find all that success that Good Luck wrapped up for her.

She does her best to help us all see things in a golden hue, per- haps that is why her golden hair and sparkling blue eyes radiate her love of living. Grace has proven her talents in the activities that she has taken part in through these four years. Her love of good music has made her indispensable in the music department and her optimism has won the hearts of her teachers and classmates. Keep on smiling, Grace, as you have here with us and the world will smile with you. Glee Club, 2-3-4; Orchestra, 3-4; Girl Re- serves, 4; Class Soccer, 3. Page Twenty-seven

ELWOOD HOLLENBAGH \"Haley” Ha LEY,” shouted the grandstands at our basketball games, pleading our wiry, brown forward to put into a losing game the \"pep” of which he has the coveted receipt. Always there are boys who are splendid athletes, always those who are ingenious in scholastics, but rarely do we find the one who has mastered both. President of the Hi-Y Club and co-captain of the basketball team, and a good student. Thus deftly he has woven together the threads of school life, forgetting not one thing for another. \"Haley” is one of our boys we will never forget;—can never forget. We hope that you will pass out of our lives, if we are indeed at the crossroads, just as you came into them—with a broad smile lighting your face and helping you on to your goal.

He has won great laurels in athletics, es- pecially in basketball, but more than that—-for always he ex- hibited a high standard of sportsmanship, which means more, and shows the real \"stuff” of which he is made, than all the victories he has made possible. Not only in athletics has Eddie made himself popular, but also in scholastic achieve- ments and social achievements as well. He has been a leader in the Hi-Y Club and the class.

But most of all, Kempie enjoys exploring in the field of science and he understands phases in that line which the rest of us cannot understand. He looks forward to a college career yearning to develop his unusual ability in this line. He is an untiring worker, ready to help anyone if they ask for his assistance; always finding new causes and working out the results to problems that seem beyond our comprehension.

In every group there are those whose natural gifts are to make others feel at ease, and to spread happiness because they are there. Mary possesses these admirable qualities and conse- quently has many loyal friends. Mary excels in the scholastic as well as the social world combining both with a deftness that constitutes her charm.

We do not speak idly when we say that deep within him he has the qualities of which we have had only glimpses. Perhaps he is saving them for later—who knows? Quietly has he come through his school life maintaining himself well in all his achievements. \"Miney” has won the friendship and admiration of all of us by his cheerful congeniality. He is not a student; he is a scholar and wherever he goes from here, with that trait he will climb ahead, pushing his way forward, not overtly, r not in the limelight, but by quiet determined application of himself to the work before him. He will at last be crowned with all the success that we could wish for him. Varsity Baseball, 2-3; Hi-Y Club, 1-2-3-4; Class Basketball, 1-2-3-4. .Jj Page Thirty-two

Despite all of Mil- dred’s valuable work among us, we will always remember her most for these traits. However, be not mistaken, for even as the calm sea is troubled by the storm so Mildred has her variations. Mildred is a true friend to many of us and to all of us a jolly companion. She is the sort of girl who when she leaves our midst, we will only begin to realize her worth. To Mildred who is leaving, we wish all the success and good fortune that has attended the Mildred with us. Glee Club, -1. Page Thirty-three

COLOPHON i JOHN S. MYERS \"Johnnie\" i E HAVE docked just long enough in this great harbor, the school, to draw up the charts which shall guide our little crafts on that great voyage for which we have waited so eagerly during our stay here. Together we have hoisted and adjusted the rigging of our good ship in preparation for our voyage. Now we must fare forth alone on a dangerous sea; alone, yet not unaided, for we have learned much of the ways of winds and waves. John has been a steadfast com- panion on our preparatory voyage together and a willing worker. Though, perhaps, he has not received medals for I outstanding deeds, he has done the fundamental tasks that will mean so much when he guides his own ship, for then he can aspire to the achievements he has not accomplished here, having a firm self-made foundation.

Marjorie is just as much at home in the drawing room as on the beach, adding spirit to any enter- prise whatsoever. Wherever she goes, this dashing young miss who has laurels for her spirited play on our basketball court, will be surrounded with friends. She slips through life so easily that, were it not for some indispensable part in her makeup that softens her character, we might even call her worldly. At all events, \"Marjie,\" we are sure that whatever your path or situation in life, your sparkling spirit will lift you to the top, just as the dancing foam leaps to the crest of the waves.

Sara expects, after she leaves us, to enter college and if she carefully guards this secret as her own she will achieve the greatest rewards there as she has here. With the message of nature tucked back in her mind, she worked confidently and sincerely, and reaped as a deserving reward, membership into the National Honor Society. The best of luck, Sara.

Dorothy’s abilities take root in the field of music. She can discuss any phase and play any tune you ask of her. She is one of the smaller girls that comprise our number, but in spite of it she has made herself a big factor in our school activities. She is a congenial chum with a generous and warm heart.

He is one of those rare chaps who are not in the center of the orb of notoriety, but who rather add to its brilliance by moving steadfastly about its edges. A better chum, a more congenial and good-natured classmate we cannot boast of. Allen has not played the leading role on the stage of our High School career, but somewhere behind the backdrops, he has func- tioned to a good purpose. He has worked, oblivious of self, toiling steadily towards the attainment of success and laying the foundation for the monument of our aims. To Allen, our best of friends, we wish only that he may continue, as he has thus far, feeling sure that this alone will place him on the top.

When he tucks his violin under his chin he makes it sing of the beauty of the world—the sun, the wide fields of clover, and the Summer rain. His blue eyes see not all that is reality and material, but see beyond, where we are not allowed to enter. He has found time in his high school career to participate in many of the school functions, he has done his part well and as we clasp hands now we will always re- member him, finding in life something beautiful, something different.

Ha, ha, is Margaretta’s chief note of happiness, but what’s more, she takes us all with her on her frequent trips to the realm of fun with round tickets for each one. But she wasn’t just made of all spice and fun, for more serious in- gredients were added to make her a genial and sympathetic companion. Big books and little girls make an unusual com- bination, but Margaretta is different, and that is why we all respect her. Margaretta is interested in a librarian’s course, and judging from her record here with us she will find suc- cess, perhaps by just ha, ha, who knows?

Force resisting force and so producing equilibrium. Thus, those creatures more finely balanced are more easily disturbed by outside forces and yet regain their poise far before their unweildy neighbors. You, \"Ody,” are of those above.

COWPHON h •i As the Seer Sees 11 AHE last rays of the late autumn sun filtered through the 1 half open casement windows and touched the gray hair of the man seated in a high-back chair, turning the ends into a delicate gold. A book lay open on his lap, his long fingers played fitfully with its corners while he gazed out on the lawn, browned from the blistering sun of the past summer. A knock summoned him from his reveries and with a curt \"Come in” the door opened admitting a prim butler bearing a silver tray. The door closed again, the man in the chair quickly straightened his tie and drew his long fingers through his hair and the door reopened and a cheery voice rather cracked with age uttered: \"Cheerio, we meet again, Steffy. How tired you look, is the brokerage business wearing you out?” Allen rises from the chair and extends his hand in hearty greeting, \"Certainly is good to see you again, Kurtz. When did you leave London, this morning? Please sit down.” They pull up chairs facing each other and a little Scotch terrier stretches in a farther corner, walks over and noses fJ Myron, then deciding all is safe, curls up at the feet of his master with one final grunt. \"Whatsay, Steffy, who do you think I sat behind on the way over in the Redwing flier this morning? One of our H old classmates in high school, Kemp. He was in England yesterday negotiating for the International Radio Company. There is some talk of his becoming head of the corporation at the end of this year after the present executive resigns.” \"You know, Kemp always got what he want after though. Do you mind if I smoke?” \"Not at all, I will too.” They light cigars and settle comfortably in their chairs. \"How’s political relations in England? You’ve been our minister over there for fourteen years, haven’t you ? The world seems much closer together now under this United States of Europe, doesn’t it?” \"England seems very peaceful now, but if United States gets her nose in the World Court there is liable to be hard feelings. Bob Bader had a case in court last spring concern- ing the consolidation of the International Airway Company. Page Forty-four

COLOPHON AS THE SEER SEES—Continued The court decided in his favor and now he has the largest corporation of this kind in the world. This year is my last as minister over there I plan to settle down then, somewhere in the west.” \"Settle down? Aren’t you too old to be thinking of marriage ?” \"Marriage, no thanks, but during my last trip over here I happened to meet Emma Vollmer at a concert in Philadelphia; we both happened to be there for the same reason. Donald Stitzer was playing. The hall was crowded and there were many standing. He certainly has taken the world by storm, good old Don. But returning to Emma, she consented to have lunch with me and then she told me that she and Mildred Moyer and Mary Guenther were in the same hospital, Mary was the head Dietitian, Mildred was superintendent of the operating room, and she was superintendent of the infant ward. She is as pretty as ever and just as peppy. By the way, have you heard anything of Mary Kitzmiller?\" In the meantime Allan had rung for the butler and ordered some drinks to be brought. Resuming the conversation, he answered, \"Yes, Mary comes to see me ever so often, she is society editor of the big paper in the city and on her women’s page she often includes short snappy advice on cats and dogs. I read them every day and Rags and I feel better for them, don’t we old boy?” The butler enters, bringing two tall glasses and two bottles on a tray. He draws up a small table between the two and then leaves. Allan picks up the envelope lying on the edge of the table and opens it. Passing it to Myron, he muses, \"Margaret ought to make the lecture interesting after being out of the world on that lonesome island in the southern Pacific for ten years, studying customs of the inhabitants, and instructing them. The tele- phone rings and as the butler answers, the picture of an elder- ly lady with a pleasant smiling face appeared on the screen. \"Hello, that’s Ellen, isn’t it, Stef?” The butler interrupts and speaks in monosyllables to Allan. \"What is she doing now?” he went on. \"She’s the companion of a maiden aunt of mine who has an estate not far from here. I run over about twice a week (Continued on page 103) Page Forty-five
