THEODORE ROOSVELT
“A sturdy oak has fallen.” On the sixth of January, 1919, Am-
erica lost one of her greatest men, Theodore Roosevelt. All the
world is mourning his death and is joining with America in her en-
deavor to pay fitting tribute to one of the finest men the earth has
ever produced.
Theodore Roosevelt was born in New York City on October 27,
1858. His father was a decendant of a prominent Dutch family,
and his mother belonged to that well known southern family, the
Bullocks of Georgia.
Roosevelt, as a boy, was not physically of the vigorous type
which he later became. One time, when ona vacation, he was
taunted by two boys, but, because of his frailness, was unable to
defend himself. Then it was that he resolved to become strong and
manly like other boys. To this end, he took up boxing and wrest-
ling. Although his progress was naturally slow at first, he later be-
came proficient in both pursuits. One of his greatest treasures was
a pewter cup which he had won as a boy in a boxing contest. He

grew up to be a strong and vigorous young man. At first he began
the study of law, but he later gave this up to enter politics. From
that time on, he came more and more into the public view.
Roosevelt was fearless, straight-forward, and extremely frank
in all his political affairs, and, unlike many politicans, he was not
working solely for his personal benefit and that of his party. He
worked his way up to the governorship of New York State by mere
strength of personality. Later, he was nominated for the vice -pres-
idency by the Republican party and was elected. Upon the assassi-
nation of President McKinley in 1901, Roosevelt became president;
and under his able leadership the country grew very prosperous. In
1904, he was elected as the twenty-sixth president of our country.
He typified America in his unfailing energy. In many ways he
is to be compared with Washington and Lincoln, for what he believ-
ed; and he had the force and determination to carry out his pro-
jects. Like Lincoln, he was a great orator, and what he said every
one knew to be true. His whole life showed that his greatest inter-
est was the welfare of his country.
He was not only a statesman but a brave soldier and hunter as
well. Weread of his courageous conduct at the Battle of San Juan
Hill in the Spanish American War. The respect and affection in
which his famous Rough Riders held him is good evidence of his
military ability. Asa hunter, his bravery and coolness were shown
in several narrow escapes from death which he had while on his
African trip in the interest of the Smithsonian Institute.
On the morning of January 7, 1919, he was found dead in his
bed. His death was unexpected and a cruel shock to those who
had known and loved him. Messages of condolence were received
from all parts of the world, that of our own president coming from
Burope.
The funeral was conducted with the utmost simplicity, as was
his wish.
It is believed that his death was hastened by the death of his
son Quentin in France. When he was asked if he wished the body
brought home, he said, “Where he fell, let him lie.” He considered
that his son’s comrades had paid a finer tribute to the boy’s mem-
ory than he could.
Tho’ Theodore Roosevelt did not give his life on the battle
field, nevertheless, he gave his whole life to his country’s service.
In the words of Ex-President Taft, “It is too bad, when the coun-
try needs all its great men, that it should loose him.”

BOB’S CONVERSION
“What? Quarreling as usual?” queried Alys Wyndham as she
entered my office, where my friend Bob Phillips and I were having
another of our political differences.
“Well, Alys, we weren’t exactly quarreling, but Bob here in-
sists on thinking that Belgium should not oppose Germany’s passing
through her territory, and I’ve been trying to convince him that
he’s wrong”, I replied.
“Well, I think the Allies are going to havea pretty hard time to
lick Germany, with her wonderful military forces, guns and supplies.
“For shame, Bob! You, a native-born Englishman to talk like
that! Surely, you have no right to boast of your enemy’s resources,
said Alys”’, indignantly.
“But, Alys, you must remember that Bob has spent nearly all
his life in Germany, and has even gone through the public and higher
schools there. He would have been graduated from the University
of Berlin too, if the war haden’t commenced.”
“Yes, my friends, all the time I’ve been in Germany I’ve had
German patriotism dinned into my ears, and I could not help im-
bibing some of it from my German professors. Why, I firmly be-
lieve, from the way in which some of the officers have been talking,
that Germany began to prepare for this war forty years ago. And,
if a country has forty years of preparedness behind her, how can
countries who have not been prepared at all even think of trying to
win? It’s perfectly absurd’’.
“Well, my dear Bob, you’ll change your tune when England has
been in it a few months, I said’.
I knew that Alys’ words and my own would fail to convince
Bob of his folly in believing that Germany would triumph in the
end. This belief, cultivated and nurtured during his years in that
country, was too deep to be uprooted all at once.
Bob had been left an orphan when but a boy of eight years.
His guardian, an old college chum of his father’s was put in charge
of Bob and his large fortune. Count Frederick, who had some re-
latives in Germany and none at all in England, took the little orphan
to Berlin, where he studied until he was twenty years of age. This
accounts for his bigoted ideas regarding Germany. His travels in
foreign countries did not tend to change his opinion any; and when
he returned to England, he naturally made few friends and many
enemies. Whenever we were in public, I tried to keep the subject
of war as far away from him as I possibly could.
46 THE CRIMSON AND WHITE
A few weeks after our argument about my editorials, Alys came
into the office in a great hurry. “Donald”, she said, “I knew you
were interested in the hospital for orphaned Belgian children, so I
thought I would stop in to see if you had time to pay a visit with
me. I’m due there in forty minutes, and I promised to bring the
children some candy. So if you want to come, you've got to
hurry”.
“Oh, my goodness! You scared me so! Why didn’t you tell
me he was here, Donald?”
Alys had suddenly discovered that the tall figure in the window
seat was Bob. As he came forward, she extended her invitation to
him also, although we both doubted whether he would accept or not.
He surprised us both by saying eagerly, “Of course I’ll come!
You don’t know how I love kiddies. And say, couldn’t we stop some-
where and order some toys? They could send them out to the
hospital couldn’t they? And we'll stop and get some candy to take
with us. Come on, you two, if we’ve only got forty minutes’’.
There followed a busy time for us. However, Bob had his rac-
ing-car outside and we hurriedly made our purchases and raced out
to the hospital, situated about five miles from London.
Alys was evidently a frquent visitor there, for an obliging nurse
at once came forward saying. “This way, Miss Wyndham”. We
were shown into a small dormitory, containing about fifteen children,
between eight and eleven years of age.
As Alys was distributing the goodies from the basket which Bob
carried, I asked her why the children were so quiet. ‘They were so
different from the merry English girls and boys.
“That’s because of the horrible things they have seen,” she
answered. “I've heard that some of them creep into dark corners
and sit and swear at the Germans until they’re black in the face.
It seems to relieve their feelings, poor things. Come, I'll get little
Jean to tell us his story’.
She led us to a bed in the corner where a little dark-haired
cripple lay. He was a boy of about ten years. I say “boy”, but he
had the face of a little old man, with big dark eyes that reminded
one of a frightened animal at bay. Then Jean obligingly told his
story.
“T lived with my grand-parents and my sister Dolce in a little
village near the border”, he began in a toneless sort of voice. “One
morning a man came into the village. He say the Germans come
and for us to quit the village. The others, they quickly pack their
few things and fly’.
¥
THE CRIMSON AND WHITE AT
“Before we can get away, the Germans come and we must stay
to serve them. A German captain came into our house. He see
Dolce and wants to be served only by her. My grand-pere protes’,
and that captain take his pistol and shoot him dead’.
“Then he take Dolce and chain her in his room. Grand-mere
say I must not go near him, and I sit on the steps and think, think.
When the captain come out, he see my kitten play by the road. He
kick her in a manner brutal, and, when I protes’, he call one of his
men and take the bayonet and crucifix my petite kitten to the barn.
My kitten ery and ery, and when I go to take her down, he hit me
with ze flat of his sword. I know no more’.
“Grand-mere is so sad, and she keep me where ze captain can
not find me—in the cupboard in the cellar. Next day, we here the
English are coming. God bless the English! The captain is ina
fury terrible and he give orders to retreat.’’
As he related his gruesome story, the lad’s eyes grew big with
anger and horror; and he clinched his hands convulsively, while Alys
sought to comfort him as best she could.
“His soldats have killed my grand-mere as she stood in ze door.
So I wait for them to find and kill me. But ze glorious English
come; and when I show them what those Boches have done, they
Swear revenge’.
“There was an American commandant. He speak to me and
comfort me. He say, “Just wait ’til I get that butcherer! I'll fix
him, laddie, don’t you worry, I'll bring his helmet and sword back
to you’.
“The Croix Rouge take care of me and send me to England.
‘Two weeks later, I received a package and a letter. It is from my
frien’, the Americain. He got the Boche captain and send to me his
helmet and sword as he promise. But my cher frien’ give up his
life to get them. You wish to see them?”
He pulled the glittering objects from a box beneath the bed; and
soon after we said good-by, leaving him to gloat over his treasures.
‘The story affected us all greatly, but I think Bob felt it the most.
He let the car rip at sixty an hour to relieve his feelings. But
I had to get back to the office, so he turned about and we went back
to town.
The first thing I did was to make out a check for two thousand
pounds, and I made Alys very happy when I gave it to her.
“T can’t thank you enough, dear Donald’, she said. ‘You don’t
know how much good you are doing those poor orphans by giving
so generously to them.
48 THE CRIMSON AND WHITE
“But, my dear Alys, that is the least Icando. I’m too old to
fight at the front, but thank God! I can fight the Huns with my
pen and my pocket-book. Now, I’ll have to say good-by, for I’ve
a lot of work to do. _I’ll see you both tomorrow. Shall we say
dinner at Claridge’s? Very well, at half after seven then, Au
revoir!”
When I called for Alys the next evening, she said that Bob had
telephoned, saying he would meet us at the hotel. You can imagine
our astonishment when we saw him coming toward us, resplendent
in a lieutenants’ uniform.
“Oh, Bob! When did you join? You dear boy, you look per-
fectly stunning!” exclaimed Alys. Although her words sounded
frivolous, I knew and Bob knew that she fully appreciated his sac-
rifice.
After we were seated, Bob said, ‘my regiment leaves within
three days, so I’ve a very important question to ask you Alys.”
and then and there he asked her to marry him. We were a very
joyful dinner-party after she had given her consent.
Two days later I gave away the bride, and after the ceremony
was over, we all motored down to Bob’s country place to spend the
last few hours together, before he left for the front.

THE BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA
Livery one has heard of the Boy Scouts of America and knows
that such an organization exists. But how many, although they
have seen scouts selling Liberty Bonds and Thrift Stamps, know
what a Boy Scout is and how he became a scout. How many know
the principles he stands for, the origin of the movement and its
growth in this country? In this article I have endeavored to show
how a boy may become a scout, what the organization stands for,
and to give a short history of that famous institution.
The Boy Scout movement was originated in England by Sir
Robert Baden-Powell about twelve years ago. About two years
later a similar movement was adopted here.
The aim of the scout movement is to make every boy a good
zen, and to teach him to do things. It is a combination of ob-
servation, deduction and handiness. Scouteraft includes instruction
in First Aid, Life Saving, Tracking, Signaling, Nature study, Sea-
ci
THE CRIMSON AND WHITE 49
manship, Campcraft, Woodcraft, Chivalry, Patriotism, and many
more which will be mentioned further along.
Any boy between twelve and eighteen may become a scout. He
may join a troop that has already been started, or a new troop may
be started with eight or more boys and a man whois willing to give
up some of his time by becoming a scout master. These should
apply to the local council and receive their instructions.
Scouts are organized into councils, troops and patrols. The
National council at New York has jurisdiction over the scouts of
the entire country. Next under this jurisdiction comes the Local
Council headed by the Local Commissioner and in command of the
troops of the locality.
A troup consists of at least one patrol and not more than four
(except with a special permit), commanded by the Scout Master
and his assistant.
A patrol is made up of eight fellows, commanded by the patrol
leader and assistant patrol leader. The senior patrol leader is
in command of all the patrol leaders and assistants. In each troop
a scribe, a bugler, and some times a quartermaster are elected by
the members or appointed by the Scout Master.
Upon becoming a scout a boy pays twenty-five cents for initia-
tion fees, and is then enrolled upon passing his tenderfoot test.
The registration fee is paid from the troop treasury every year there-
after. Each scout is presented with a card showing he is a member
of the Boy Scouts of America and in good standing. These certi-
ficates are signed by the Commissioner and Secoutmaster and are
honored in all parts of the world.
Scouts are divided into three classes: tenderfoot, second-class,
and first-class. Upon passing the test for each rank, a boy is entitled
to wear the badge for that rank. The badge of the first-class scout
consists of the sign of north on the mariners’ compass (the sign of
world brotherhood). Across this is placed a shield, superimposed
by the American eagle. Under this is a scroll, turned up at the ends
to represent a scout’s mouth—with the motto, ‘“‘Be Prepared’, upon
it. A knot hangs at the bottom to remind a scout to doa good turn
daily. The badge of the second-class scout is only the scroll. The
badge of the tenderfoot only the trefoil badge.
Upon becoming a scout a boy is given this oath:
On my honor I will do my best—
1. Todo my duty to God and my country, and to obey
the Scout law.
2. To help other people at all times.
50 THE CRIMSON AND WHITE
3. To keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and
morally straight.
When taking this oath the scout will stand, holding up his right
hand, palm to the front, thumb resting on nail of little finger, and
the other three held upright and together. This is the scout sign.
The scout salute is formed by raising the hand held in the above
manner to the middle of the forehead.
THE SCOUT LAWS.
A scout is trustworthy.
A scout is loyal.
A scout is helpful.
A scout is friendly.
A scout is courteous.
A scout is kind.
A scout is obedient.
A scout is cheerful.
A scout is thrifty.
A scout is brave.
A scout is clean.
A scout is reverent.
To become a scout, a boy must pass a test containing the his-
tory of the flag, the making of certain knots, and a few other sim-
ple requirements. This test is called the tenderfoot test. After
becoming a tenderfoot, a boy may pass second-class and _ first-class
tests. Upon entering as a first-class scout and after qualifying for
a certain number of merit badges he becomes an Eagle Scout. This
is the highest stage of the scout organization, and when this point is
reached, instruction has been received in twenty-four different sub-
jects. Most of these studies teach a boy to take care of himself
anywhere and at any time, by following the motto ‘‘Be Prepared’’.

“STAR LIGHT, STAR BRIGHT”
Mamie sat dangling her feet over the edge of the woodpile, a
frown puckering her forehead and her lips stuck way out.
She was “mad” at Georgie Howe. Had she not seen him, in her
very sight, give Nellie Carpenter a wonderful, big picture card with
red, yellow and pink roses in a basket and two black kittens play-
ing with them? She thought of her own precious picture-card al-
bum lying in the right hand drawer of her desk—almost filled
with cards and ‘‘pasters”, most of which had been given to her by
this same Georgie. There were pictures of girls who didn’t look
any older than Mamie herself, with plumes in their hats and silk
dresses on (Oh, how sheenvied them!),—bouquets of violets and
pansies,—dogs carrying baskets filled with flowers,—and yes, there
was one of a boy that looked as Georgie would, if he were a real
prince. Her thoughts then passed to Nellie—Nellie with the freck-
les and tightly braided red hair; Nellie who was all of twelve, two
years oider than either Georgie or herself, but nevertheless Nellie
the “accomplished”. For she could do almost anything! She
could catch a swift ball without getting a black eye or a “bent”
finger; she could “hook on” a sleigh without getting her toe under
the runner; she could play“ duck on the rock” and remain whole
and sound, (Mamie shuddered at the remembrance of her first and
last experience with that exciting game, and the consequent visit to
the doctor to have a ring filed off her smashed finger), and, say,
couldn’t Nellie ride horseback, though!
Mamie shivered, and suddenly realized that the sun had long
gone down and that the air had grown quite chilly. She slid to
her feet, and saw that over the top of the apple tree there was one,
lone, twinkling star. From force of habit, she repeated softly to
herself,
“Star light,
Star bright,
First star I see to-night,
! wish I may,
I wish I might
Get the wish I wish to-night.”
“T wish’, she said aloud, a savage wave of indignation sweep-
ing over her, “I wish something dreadful would happen to Georgie.”’
She was frightened after she had said it,—but then, she knew that
“a wish spoken can never be broken’’.
At supper that night, Mamie wondered, every time her mother
or father looked at her, if they knew how wicked she was, and, when
52 THE CRIMSON AND WHITE
later she knelt down in the cold to say her prayers, she had to stop
abruptly in the middle. She could not say, “If I should die before
I wake’’—it seemed so very probable that she would.
The next day was Sunday, and Mamie went to Sunday School,
but she paid very little attention. She was thinking about Georgie
and her wish. Monday and Tuesday came, and Georgie was not in
school! Mamie could not study. She wanted so ask someone about
Georgie, but she was afraid to.
Tuesday afternoon, the ‘Ladies’ Aid Society” met at her house.
Georgie’s mother was not there because she was a Baptist, and a
“King’s Daughter” does not go to a meeting of the ‘Ladies’ Aid
Society.’”” Mamie was reading in the kitchen (you had to when the
‘Ladies’ Aid’’ met) and she heard distinctly. ‘Poor Mrs. Howe!
Georgie has inflammation of the lungs.” Mamie’s heart almost stop-
ped beating, but she crept nearer the door to hear better.
“Qld Dr. Kilpatrick”, Mrs. Wonderlick was saying, ‘‘cured
Sophie Holly with black cat skins, when every other doctor from
miles around had given her up. He’s doctorin’ Georgie, and he says
he’s got to try it on him as a last resort,—but it takes so many.
You see, they put ‘em on while they’re still warm, and the elec-
tricity or magnetism, or somethin—it sounds more like witchcraft
to me—draws the inflammation out. He’s used three or four, but he
needs a lot more’’.
Mamie did not wait any longer. Clasping in her arms her own
dear ‘‘Jet’’, who was asleep on his cushion, she hurried out of the
house and down the road to Georgie’s back-door. Yes, it was true!
Georgie’s mother, with red, swollen eyes and drawn face, came to
the door, in answer to Mamie’s timorous knock, and there was old
Doctor Kilpatrick’s buggy and feeble white nag in front of the
house. Georgie’s mother took the cat and, with only a word of
thanks, disappeared within.
8efore night, Widow Simpkins’ “Chloe’, who had been her
companion for eight years, mysteriously disappeared, and, tho’ she
offered a penny to any child who would return the cat safe and
sound, she didn’t have to part with her precious money. And the
big old cat, that was usually to be seen on the counter in the general
store, did not come when called. Even half-witted Amos’ trick cat,
which could toss a piece of meat from its nose into its mouth five
times without missing, could not be found.
The days that followed were full of anxiety for Mamie. On
one of these days, the big bell in the Baptist Church tower, across
the street, began to toll for some departed soul, as was the custom.
THE CRIMSON AND WHITE 53
“One—two—three—four—five—six—seven—eight—nine—ten’’,—a
pause. It must be Georgie! But a moment later, the bell resumed
its mournful tones and did not stop again until seventy strokes had
been told off. ‘“That’s for old Granddad Stinchcomb!” She almost
laughed.
On other days she thought of the many good times she and
Georgie had had together—the “angels” they had made in the snow,
though Georgie’s ‘‘angels’’ somehow weren’t so realistic; she thought
of the times when they had buried each other in autumn leaves—
they were lying in heaps now, dry and fragrant and inviting; and
she thought of the little red wintergreen candies that Georgie always
carried in his pocket, and that seemed as much a part of Georgie as
his coat.
But finally a day came when Georgie returned to school. Mamie
was so glad and thankful that she snubbed him frightfully; and
she would not even look in his direction, though he used all sorts of
devices to attract her attention.
Just before recess, on a pretext of borrowing a knife from another
boy, Georgie walked down the aisle, past Mamie’s desk. As he did
so, he slipped an envelope under her hand—an envelope carefully
cut and pasted together from a large sheet of paper. Mamie looked
up to see if the teacher had noticed and then, in the shelter of her
desk, drew out the contents. It was a beautiful big picture-card,
with red, yellow and pink roses in a basket, and two black kittens
playing with them. “Oh!” she murmured in ecstacy, already see-
ing it oceuping one of the three blank spaces in her album at home.
She was about to return it to the envelope again when she dis-
covered a piece of paper inside. She drew it out and spread it
stealthy in her open reader. The note, soiled by many erasures,
read:
“Dere Mamie: I gave this picture-card that I got in M—, at
DeWitt’s Drug Store, to Nellie, to see if you liked me well enough
to get mad, and I guess you did. I was hiding behind the woodpile
the night you wished on the star that something would happen to
me and it did. I was awfully cold when I got home, from scooching
down there so long, and I ain’t sure whether it was that or your
wish that made me sick.” —G. H.

THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
By the time this issue reaches its readers, a month will have
elapsed since the death of Theodore Roosevelt.
Mayor Watt has requested that on February ninth, the schools,
churches, and various organizations of Albany hold appropriate ex-
ercises in memory of this distinguished man. The Milne High
School gladly complies with this request. This issue of the “Crim-
son and White” we dedicate to Theodore Roosevelt and resolve, as
students, to keep in mind what he achieved and the ideals for which
he stood.
THE CRIMSON AND WHITE 55
Many men have written of Roosevelt as a statesman, an orator,
an author, and an explorer; but few have told of his home life and
his passionate love for children. One of Roosevelt’s greatest delights
was to spend an evening at home with his family. Strangers while
visiting would often comment on the marked affection existing be-
tween the members of the family. Visitors would often find the
President on his hands and knees, playing his favorite game of
“bears’’ with the ‘‘kiddies.’” He thought it great sport to be shot
and dragged over the floor by the little hunters.
Yet, he did not spoil the children. He has been known to ex-
cuse himself from guests to go down to the nursery and spank one
of his sons for being over-boisterous.
It was not only to his own children that he was so attached.
He made friends with every girl and boy he met. There are several
young men and women here in Albany who still have some of the
toys he so freely distributed during his stay at the mansion. Many
were the doll’s tea parties he visited and the boys fights he refereed
in the neighborhood of Eagle and Elm Streets. The Governor was
always appointed judge of the children’s scraps in that vicinity.
An incident from his autobiography is illustrative of the pleasure
he found in the society of children.
“When I was Assistant Secretary of the Navy, Leonard Wood
and I used often to combine forces and take both families of child-
ren out to walk, and occasionally some of their playmates. Leonard
Wood’s son, | found, attributed the paternity of all those not of his
own family to me. Once we were taking the children across Rock
Creek on a fallen tree. 1 was standing on the middle of the log
trying to prevent any of the children from falling off, and while
making a clutch at one peculiarly active and heedless child, I fell off
myself. As I emerged from the water, I heard the little Wood boy
calling frantically to the General: “Oh! Oh! The father of all the
children fell into the creek!’’—which made me feel like an uncom-
monly moist patriarch.”
The contest for the ‘‘Crimson and White’ pennant is progressing
rapidly, and the time for award will soon be here. The Juniors
and Sophomores have already done their part, and have done it
creditably. Freshmen, your opportunity comes next. Show the
upper classmen what an “‘umble freshie”’ can do. Begin now and
plan for your next issue.

EDITORIAL
There has been considerable trouble among the students in find-
ing books for supplementary reading. The best libraries for us to go
to are places where we can get. individual help. Two such place
where we can receive personal attention are the Pine Hills Library
where Miss Cudebee will gladly help us, and the State College Lib-
rary where Miss Cobb is in charge.
Again, we are often puzzled in finding an interesting book to
read. Several books are recommended for the use of Junior High
School students especially, and among them are the following:
“Life of Roosevelt’ by Herman Hagadorn, ‘‘American Hero
Tales” by Lodge and Roosevelt, ‘War Readings” prepared by the
National Board of Historical Service.

THE TRAMP DOG.
Billy MePhale, a freckled Irish boy of ten, lived in the village
of Howell. This little town was just big enough for the honor of
being visited once a year by a real circus.
It was the middleof November. A heavy snow had fallen, and Billy
was busy making a snow-fort when his mother called him for an er-
rand to the grocer’s. Billy took his sled with him, for there was a
long hill, down which he could coast on the way back.
As he left for home, after purchasing his groceries, he became
aware that he was being followed. Billy looked around and saw a
58 THE CRIMSON AND WHITE
little bedraggled Irish terrier with big, brown eyes. ‘“l'ramp dog,”
Billy said to himself. ‘‘I wonder if mother would care.”
He decided to risk taking the dog home, for he had wanted one
so long; and surely enough, his mother not only let him keep the
dog but helped him give the terrier a bath. Billy fixed a bed of
burlap and old coats for him in the woodshed. They soon became
such friends that the dog came racing whenever his master whistled.
Billy soon began to teach Tipperary, or Tip, many tricks; and
when spring came, he was the monarch dog of the village. Billy
would split his kindling wood at night, and Tip would carry the pie-
ces one by one into the house and place them beside the kitchen
stove. While the family was at dinner, Tip would go from one chair
to another, sit upon his hind legs and beg for food. On the cold
winter days, he would come in from out of doors, wet and shivering,
and put his crossed front feet on the hearth of the kitchen stove to
warm them.
But there came a morning when Billy whistled, and the dog did
not come. He whistled himself silent, but still Tip didn’t come.
Billy now became worried, for he had lost one of his best friends.
In the morning he inquired of the neighbors, and village boys, but
no one could tell him anything definite.
As a result, Billy was very lonely during the days that followed
and was glad of every diversion to take his thoughts from his lost
pet.
When the circus came to town in the early summer, he and his
chums went to see it. They bought pink lemonade and popcorn
balls, and, of course, a squawker apiece, for no boy is ever without
a squawker at a circus. They decided to see the animals when
there was more time, so they made their way into the circus proper.
It was a two ring cireus, and the boys were kept busy trying to
watch them both. The bareback Princess, the revolving frog, the
trapeze performers, the clowns, and the performing elephants, all
passed in a bewildering procession. It seemed scarcely fifteen min-
utes before the show was over.
As they went out, Billy said to his chum, “Gee! don’t you think
it would be fun to see the side show?”
“Sure!’’ and in they went.
As they entered, a toop of trick dogs were orming.
“Golly! That little Irish terrier looks just like my Tip’, said
Billy.
At the sound of Billy’s voice, the dog gave a joyful yelp, jumped
from the platform, and ran to his side. The trainer lashed him and
THE CRIMSON AND WHITE 59
ordered him back. Meanwhile Billy silently stepped out of the tent
and ran to the place where the old constable, Tinkham, stood lean-
ing against a pole. He told the constable the story of the dog from
the day he found him to his recognition in the tent. ‘Together they
went over to the side show as fast as the old man’s rheumatic legs
would carry him.
“Mister, whar’d ye git that dog?” he asked the trainer.
“Why, I bought him of course,” was the answer.
“Just as ye say, but this here bye says he belongs to him.”
“Tt’s a lie!’”’ said the circus man, beginning to get angry at the
delay in the performance, ‘‘and what business is it of yours any-
way?”
“Now lookit here, I’m an officer of the law,’’—and here the consta-
ble drew back his coat, displaying a shining star on his vest,—‘‘and
we'll have a test that’ll prove whether the dog’s been bought by you
or whether he belongs to this bye.”
Taking the dog by the leash and leading him out of doors, the
constable beckoned the trainer and Billy to follow him. Placing the
two would-be owners of the ‘dog several feet apart, the old man
stood half way between them with one hand on the dog’s head.
“Now,” he said, ‘“ both o’ ye call him an’ see what happens.”
“Here Tip! Here Tip!” said Billy.
“Come ’ere,” growled the trainer.
The little dog hesitated and whined, looking from one to the
other, and then, apparently fully decided, ran to Billy’s side, wag-
ging his tail furiously and nearly upsetting him in his joy.
“Well that settles it,’ said the constable. ‘He’s yours, kid.”
Tip did not sleep in the woodshed that night, and there were
two heads instead of one on Billy’s pillow.

HANS’ VALENTINE
Hans was a light-hearted, unselfish lad who lived a happy care-
free life in a rural district near Amsterdam. When his father died,
he was ten years old; but he did what he could to help his mother
and brother support the family of five children.
Hans did not like school, and it was only by the stern command
of his mother, that he walked the long, tiresome journey each day.
When spring came, he was happy. He loved the birds and
flowers; and Nature called so loudly to him, that one morning he
60 THE CRIMSON AND WHITE
lingered longer than usual. He did not notice that he was late un-
til he had arrived at school. As a punishment, the teacher bade
him sit on the high stool in the front of theroom. Hans was deeply
embarrassed by this treatment in the presence of his class mates,
and it was some time before he became aware of a new pupil in the
class. She was looking at him with so much sympathy in her face
that Hans knew if she were allowed to speak, she would say, ‘‘I am
so sorry for you.” They did not know each other, but they were
sure they would be friends.
When the children went out to play, the girls made fun of the
newcomer’s clothes, because they were different from those worn in
Holland. This made the poor little stranger cry. Hans went to
her and told her not to mind what the others said, for they were
only jealous of her pretty dress and her leather shoes.
This was the beginning of their acquaintance. She told Hans
that her name was Kathaline, and that she had been born in Am-
erica. When her mother and father died, she was brought across
the ocean to live with her uncle in Holland. Hans in turn told his
life history; and when the bell rang, Kathaline knew that she had
one friend to whom she could always look for sympathy.
When winter came, Hans and his newly-made friend could very
often be seen skating together on the frozen canals. He was known
in his neighborhood as the best skater of his age, and he felt very
proud to show her all his fancy cuts on the ice.
One day Han’s mother asked him to go to the city to get a few
provisions. As Hans was skating down the canal, he passed many
stores, decorated for St. Valentine’s day. In the windows there
were such pretty valentines that Hans longed to buy one for Katha-
line. It did not take him long to reach the city, and as he went up
one of the side streets to the market, he saw a sign upon which was
printed the following statement.
ICE CARNIVAL
SATURDAY FEBRUARY 10
PRIZES AWARDED
Hans went to the market and then hurried home in great excit-
ment to tell his mother that he intended to take part in the race.
His mother replied that it would be impossible for him to win, for
he had only wooden skates, while many of the others had new steel
ones. Hans would not give up but determined to try his best.
When Hans arrived with his wooden skates, the boys laughed
at him and asked him how he expected to win the race with such
SS
THE CRIMSON AND WHITE 61
skates. He was the last to start, but as the race progressed, he gain-
ed gradually first on one boy and then on another until he caught
up to the one in the lead. They were near the goal before the boy
saw Hans. He was afraid that Hans would pass him, and tried to
trip him; but Hans was alert and gave a quick leap, which carried
him well out of the reach of his opponent. When the goal was
reached, Hans was almost a foot ahead of the expected winner.
The other boys were now ashamed that they had been so disa-
greeable to Hans, but it did not bother him in the least, for he had
won the prize.
It was the day before St. Valentines day when Hans again made
a trip to the city. This time however it was not to buy provisions,
but to choose the prettiest valentine he could find. After much
searching, he found one to suit his taste and hurried home as happy
asalark. The next morning on his way to school, he left the val-
entine on the doorstep of Kathaline’s home and hurried on.
When Kathaline came out of the house to go to school, she no-
ticed the envelope on the steps. She picked it up with trembling
fingers, and with a cry of delight, hurried in to show it to her aunt.
It was the kind she had always liked, for it was made of paper
lace. Besides she was sure that the verse on it was the prettiest
that she had ever read.
Hans was already anxiously watching for her at school, and
just before the bell rang, she came hurrying in. He knew by the
expression on her face that she had found the valentine and that she
was very pleased with it.
From this time on, Hans and Kathaline became the best of fri-
ends, and I assure you that Kathaline was never again laughed at
by her rude class mates, at least when her protector Hans was
around.

School closed December twentieth for a Christmas vacation of
two weeks. We all felt the vacation to be extremely long and were,
of course, delighted to return? ? ?
We are all very sorry to hear of the illness of Catherine Phibbs,
’20, and we all hope to see her back in school very soon.
The class of 1921 has started early and has already organized.
The first meeting was held just before Christmas vacation, and the
following officers were elected:
Presidentiia gicccs va siaaversc es etiw aes Donald Booth
Vice-President........... ....Helen Kirtland
Secretary....... ......Helen Wurthman
Virginia Hill
The Juniors have received their rings and pins, and we must
confess that they are very pretty. They have chosen for their col-
ors, blue and black.
The debate which was to have been held between the two fourth
year English classes was postponed on account of the illness of one
of the speakers. Their proposition is: Resolved, that a blanket tax
should be established in the Milne High School.
The following students are in the debate:
Affirmative Negative
Russel Bouton Adrian Johnson
Anna Marin Charlotte Stupplebeen
Janet Goldring Clark Henry
A new bulletin board for the use of the English classes has been
set up on the wall left of the main stairs. Each class has charge
of the board for a week and place on it any material that would be
interesting for the students. So far the Senior and Junior classes
have had charge of it and have decorated it with some very inter-
esting material.
Our much Jonged-for guest, Examination came to visit us on
January twentieth for a two weeks’ stay. Like all good things, his
visit went rapidly; and on January thirty-first he departed, leaving
some of us happy and others in tears.

QUINTILIAN LITERARY SOCIETY.
The meetings of Quin have continued to hold the interest of most
of us, though there is still something to be desired in the matter of
attendance,
Quin gave her annual Freshman rush on December twentieth in
the large study hall. About fifty girls were present, and a good time
was enjoyed by all despite the fact that we were unable to secure
the gymnasium.
The initiation of the Sophomores and Juniors was postponed on
account of the oncoming examinations. We wish to welcome the
new members into our society and hope that they will learn to love
Quin’s aims and ideals.
The following girls are to be initiated;
Alice Daly Margaret Dinkel
Eleanor Arris Fannie Medwin

ATHLETIC NOTES.
It is a great pleasure to note that Milne High School is again
coming into place in athletics. The basket ball team under Henry
Metzger’s direction is practicing nearly every day in the gymnasium
of the Central Y. M. C. A. A schedule is being arranged which
will include many of the best teams in the district.
‘The team deserves your support, and by support, we mean aid
both in spirit and in money. The boys must have uniforms, equip-
ment, and expenses to travel to other schools. hey are giving a
great share of their time in boosting our school athletics, and we
must stand back of them with our financial aid. The Athletic As-
8 tion is selling season tickets. They cost only fifty cents and
entitle the holder to membership to the association and admission
to the ten games in the State College “gym”.
It’s up to our students to show whether we want Milne High
School on the map in athletics or not. Be a booster and buy a ticket.
Go to the games and cheer the boys until you’re hoarse. Attend
the practice games and show the team you’re back of them. Strive
heart and soul for the support of your team.
‘The following boys are on the basket ball team:
Alan Sexton Henry Metzger

CRITICISMS
The Palmerian, LaVerne College, LaVerne, Cal. Your paper
needs more attention. We do not wish to seem too critical, but the
good stories in the literary department are weakened by poor punc-
tuation. We suggest that you publish all your jokes in the joke
department. If you can not arrange your paper so as to utilize all
the space, scatter good quotations through it instead of dissembling
the jokes. You have some clever cuts at the heads of some of your
departments, but why not at all of them? Your students seem to
lack school spirit. Encourage them to contribute cuts, jokes, and
items of interest.

The Item, Amsterdam High School, Amsterdam, N.Y. This

department is good, especially in the last issue. Your editorials and
other department are also good; in fact, the paper is complete. If
you would put cuts at the heads of the departments in future iss'
as you did in November, we could make but few adverse criticisms.
Your exchange department is too brief. Won't you tell us what you
think of our paper?

M. H. <Aerolith, Sheboygan, Wis. You have many advertise-
ments which show that your business manager and advertising agent

amount of German we find in your paper. We see, however, that
you have shown true American spirit by raising a service flag of
forty-eight stars to men in Uncle Sam’s service. Congratulations!

The Ypsi-Sem Weekly, Ypsilanti High School, Ypsilanti, Mich.
We have received several issues of your lively little paper. Surely
you have the right spirit; and your students must be “live wires’.

departments?

The Magpie, St. Margaret’s School, Waterbury, Conn. You have

less, we would suggest more cuts.

The Echo, Oneonta High School, Oneonta, N. Y. This is a new

hustler.
