If size were determined by the way a teacher is loved by her
pupils, Miss Hornbeak would be a giantess, for this dainty
teacher makes her literature classes so interesting, so snappy,
and so plain, that she is a close second to our helpful principal
in popularity. Such a world of knowledge has Miss Horn-
beak that we have been unable to find a literary question that
she can't answer. This is Miss Hornheak's first year with us
and we sincerely hope it is not her last. If one wants to get a
Freshman angry enough to chew raw meat, just tell "It" that
you "know a nicer teacher than Miss Hornbeak."

Miss Piedalue

has been on the Cristobal High School faculty

list for one-half year, which is entirely too short a time for such
a skiUlful teacher of domestic science to be here. We leave it to
the girls to sing her praises as a cooking and sewing teacher.
Why! Mother is learning rapidly from daughter, and father is
actually growing cheerful when the dinner bell tinkles. Miss
Piedalue has not been enjoying good health but her ailment
is always hidden by a pleasant countenance.

Villafranca has been with us for three years and each

year his class and popularity improve.

(in our opinion, but Sefior may have a different story to
u). El Sefior bade us adios during the dispute between

Panama and Costa Rica and has accepted a position with the

Costa Rican Government.

His classes were taken over by

Miss Barnhouse, a very competent and talented teacher of
Spanish, whose path will be less thorny as a result of Sefior
Villafranca's excellent groundwork.

Miss Beeching's good friendship has been shared with all her

pupils.

Her spare time is spent in helping any of us with

work. Seemingly

our

impossible problems are simplified and drilled

into our noble cavities in an enduring, patient manner. Miss
Beeching has not been with us a full school year but it is
unanimously wished that she be here to see the present and

"Suppose we let it prophesy the future of the

Mabel Quinto,

Edna Campbell and Gladys Lowande,scoredmany

the Freshmen at least, that this class has far ex-
ceeded any first-year class of the preceding years.
There have been several interesting exhibits of

classroom

work.

The members of the Ancient

History class took part in an Olympian Council,
which not only displayed their knowledge of the
ancient peoples and their customs, but brought to
light some very good dramatic ability.
This same ability was shown to be even more

Of places I have seen in long past time,

I sit upon the old wall by the sea
And count the tiny wavelets near the shore;

Then farth

Continuously toward me their wealth they pour.
They seem like captives longing to be free,
And beat and tear the rocks with sullen roar;
I wonder, as they all roll in toward me,
Where they will go and where they've been before.
At evening still you'll find me sitting there;
The winds have died and distant waves grown calm,
A luring call they seem to bear to me
From far-off lands; they sing to me a psalm
Of dreams; I feel a longing and desire
To travel with the waves until I tire.

The brighest shines out Venus-evening star,
Which casts a shadow with its yellow light;

a very strange nature.
"Come into my cabin," he said.
I followed him in and took the chair to which he
motioned me. Then I began to relate my experi-
ence with the masked man. I told him that,
although I had promised to be one of this band,
my conscience would not allow me to depart from
the good teachings I had had from my mother and
teachers. I had come to the conclusion that the
best course I could pursue was to inform him of
this attempted piracy. The captain became
interested in the story as I went on, listening with
the greatest attention and anxiety. In a grave
voice, he said, "Emilio, do you mean to say, I
have such rascally cutthroats on board my ship?
I can't believe it; I can't believe it." After
sitting, lost in thought for a few moments,he con-
tinued,"Do you think vou can identify your man?"
"It will be difficult, Captain, for he was
masked, as were the others whom I saw, but I
may venture a guess, as I observed his build and
his hands." That hand had held a revolver to my
face; never would that memory be erased.
"You have nothing to fear. I shall protect you.
We'll soon have these fellows. When I need you,
I shall let you know. Go quietly about your
business in the meantime."
I went back to work with the terrible load lifted
from my conscience, secure in my faith in the
captain. An hour later, as I was leaving the ice
box, whither I had gone on an errand for the chief
steward, I stumbled against the man whom I
believed to be the masked man.
"Look at me," he said. "Do you know me?"
"Yes," I answered.
"Did you get the message?" he whispered.
I nodded my head.
"You are with us?"
Again I nodded.
"Good," he said. "to-morrow at 2.

we met a native who showed us another trail that
led almost directly back the way we had come.
Along with the right trail we acquired, in Chorrera
Spanish (which I soon found to be quite different
from that which I learned in Cristobal HighSchool),
a lot of advice, etc., on how to get there.
Of course there was a fork in this trail too, and
again we took the wrong one but it ended up in an

A day or two before Christmas about six of us

but she gave us the directions and said that it was
only about two miles away.
We set out confidently for el chorro. Pretty

Athletics are indulged in more, perhaps,

on the Canal Zone, than in any other part of the
world. This is accounted for by the fact that the
people here realize the necessity of physical exer-
cise, and take it as part of their daily work, as

well as pleasure.

Owing to the fact that there are

comparatively few pupils in Cristobal High School,
almost all have taken part in some form of ath-
letics, mainly basketball, swimming, and baseball.

Wesley Townsend, who hails from Gatun, is one

of our steadiest

and most dependable

guards.

His position is right guard and he held it royally.
Many a time a shout went up from our opponents
when their best player got away with the ball, but
they were doomed to disappointment when Town-
send sent it sailing back to the other end of the

floor.

Truly, he is a guard to be thankful for.

The newest member of our team is Cloke. His
playing is surprisingly good considering the little
experience he has had as a left guard. He is always
after his man and proves himself a great hindrance
to his-opponents when they attempt to make a
basket. He is full of action and of fighting perse-

verance.

His pass work is accurate and snappy.

until the last event, in which Balboa took the lead
and won by nine points. Our team had practically
no training and did surprisingly well under the
circumstances.
Raymond was the star for the Cristobal boys,
and he won a place in every event that he entered.
The majority of his places were firsts and he has

set a record to be proud of.

The total number of

Raymond's points was 27, more than two-thirds
of the total number scored by the boys.
Edna Campbell was the girls' star and her name
appeared for a place on the score card in everything

in which she took part.

This is Edna's Freshman

to help us win our future track meets.

Raymond pitched a good game and, helped

One of the main features of

the game was a double play made by Cristobal.
One of the Balboa runners was perched on first and
a hot liner was hit to Doyle at third base. He
fielded it in fine style and shot it to Solomon at
second, who completed the play to Henter putting

Esther Witt,

One place at the Cristobal High School carni-
val where you could get your money's worth (in
fact the only place) was the country store.
Here was a counter over which bottles of soda

were sold for IO cents or three for 2g cents.

Behind

it were shelves lined with neatly wrapped parcels
containing everything from buttons to elephants,

for 5, 10, I5, 20, and 25 cents.

Every parcel con-

trained its full marked value, but not always did
it so appear to the person who purchased it.
Just the same, every parcel and bottle of soda
was sold a half-hour before the carnival closed,
and still other treasure seekers came, and, sad to
say, went away with drooping heads-and money
in their pockets!

OUR

ANCESTORS

1921.

NOTES FROM A LECTURE GIVEN IN 2021, BY A PROMINENT HISTORIAN.

Wesley

Townsend,

Eleanor Zimmermann,

It has been my privilege recently to take up
some original research work concerning life in the
public schools of the Canal Zone in 1921.
I have found through my investigation that:
The pupils in the school were forced to sit in
straight-backed seats in plain rooms, in strange
contrast to the luxurious upholstered chairs, in
comfortable rooms with frescoed walls and full
length windows, of our school.
The favorite game of the boys seems to have

basketball,

which,

however,

was far dif-

ferent from the game our boys play under the same

name.

The boys were exceedingly rough in their

game, knocking, shoving,
opponents against the walls,

and holding their
while our boys step

politely aside with an

Excuse me

and let the

other team take the ball.
As for the dress, this was the most astonishing.
The girls arranged their hair in a queer manner,
covering up their dainty ears which nature had

meant to be shown.

To accomplish this, some

even wore on each side contrivances which o16oked
like fuzzy balls glued to their heads.
They had no idea of grace and line and wore

their skirts very short and scant.

They used the

very richest material for their everyday dress.
Although there was not much change in the
boys' dress, some of the boys had come to our
sensible way of wearing loose collars, while others
still adhered to the ancient custom of wearing the
high stiff collar.
