UP on lap.
We were 26 in all, but the claps
lust before us had only eight, astd
the class after us 13. We didn't
wear caps and gowns, because
in those unpretentious times we
associated, baccalaureate garb
with the baccalaureate, for some
curious reason, and hadn't- devel-
oped many notions. We wore
handsome blue suits (mine cost
$13-08, with extra pants and a.
pair of suspenders) and pretty
white dresses which rustled. I
had one of the "parts," and did
rather well.
So, I asn against' any pretense
of erudition that is based on
quantity alone. An even hundred
pupils might march down an
aisle with more average know-
ledge than we had, but I'd want
to see it proved. The heights to
which we had ascended were
etudendous, and there never was
a. better-educated crowd than
our unacceptable e6. There was
not a thing we didn't know, and
we all admitted it.
But stupendousness of intellect
is not all I'm thinking about.
There were other, less • brainy,
aspects of high school we shared
joyously, and all the more be-
cause we, were fewer. For one
thing, if anybody had a party,
we all' went. You could never
shine up your sixteenth birthday
and have •all 100 classmates in
for • winkum and spin the-bottle,
but you could have 26.
The sports teams, alone, con-
found 'the theory of hundreds.
Our squads were limited, and we
never did play, football because
only seven boys ever thought
they'd like to try. Baseball was
better, and I went- through three
seasons in left field with a sub-
Ratite on the bench. It made me
'flay better, for If I Coated he
knight: get to play. Our pitcher
and catcher never worried about
that, because it anything hap-
pened to them the game was
called, off. We had only two tubs
anyway;'; both outfielders.
I believe it is much better to
have sports where the number
on a team uses about everybody.
I remember our girls' basketball
teameeomposed of six, played' a
whole season and never lost a
game, and never used a substi-
tute. They didn't have a substi-
tute. One of the girls got her
picture in the papers because she
scored more points in a season
than anybody else anywhere, She
had found out how to carom a
backhand off the steampipes. Our
eymnasium had been laid out bee
fore basketball was invented, and
plumbers had never recessed the
textures. The pipes bothered vis-
iting teams but not us.
It seems too bad to get your
squad up into two figures so a
thing like basketball cells for•
expensive gyms, and you lose
such values as steatripipe prow-
ess. I wouldn't go across the e
etreet to see the Celtice beet the
.hawks, but I'd go a thousand
miles if I could once again see
etosabelle boincing baskets Off a
steampipe. She was. good, And. I
know if we'd had a hundred girls
put for basketball, we'd have had
the pipes changed over, and there
would be no such happy Merl.,
orer for me,
It makes me think again of my
;satin class, We were three,' Ellen,
Berta, and myself. There. was a
rapport there which would be
lost in numbers. When we got
our leeegli. books, Ellen took hers
home, read it that night, and at
school the next morning told us
how the story came out, This was
a great help, fee it eliminated the
need for daily assignments. We
had an instructor who was will-
ing to keep up with us, and we
sailed through Vergil much fast-
er than Aeneas ever did,
Afterward, to fill out the year,
we read some Horace and a, little
Plautus, and got in a couple of
books of Livy, after which we
masted. If we'd had a class of
ZOO, we'd probably have stopped
just short of Vercingetorix some,
where, as they do now, and we'd
have worn caps and gowns with
a difference.
I've always thought 26 made
a fine English class, too. We had
the same English teacher all four
years, and those of us who took
French had her again. I have an
idea she was the best individual
teacher nve had, all along the
line, and she took us through so
many pleasant experiences that
I realize now how poverty-stric-
ken my own children are in those
respects.
They have had their "English"
from excerpts and digests and
comprehensive eeaders, and their
exams have questions like "Name
four books by Mark Twain."
They haven't read anything by
Mark Twain, you understand —
at least as school work, unless
you count a few paragraphs in
the accredited anthology. Some-
how things, are easier by the
hundreds.

House Full Of
Smuggled Brandy
A father and son in the wild
Scottish Highlands around Lair-
loch had kept an illicit whisky
still hidden undetected in a cave
for many years, but it had be.
come worn out and useless, They
couldn't afford a new one, so it
looked as if they'd have to go
without their daily dram,
One day the son came to his
father in great excitement,
"gxciseman is offering a reward
of £25 to anyone who will give
information leading to the discov-
ery and seizure of a still in this
areal"
"Oh, the man will never find
ours!" said the father, ':You
would-never give away anyone's
still to Exciseman,- I hope,"
"I was thinking of that," the
son replied, "I'm sure it is the
best thing to do, PI the still is
done, he may as well take it,
Twenty-five younds is a lot of
money,' and will do us more good
than it will do him,"
So, to keep their own cave
eecret, they moved the old still
to a cranny in another hillside,
then went to the Exciseman and
told him they'd stumbled on a
still while going after straying
sheep. With the £25 reward
they went into Inverness and
bought parts to make a new, still
for £20, celebrating on the five
left over!

ing 'his' position as a Highland
gentleman of the Clanranald.
Once she was chased into
Gairloch, hut by the time the
