consisted of cartooning and a
tumbling exhibition. The Sir Wal

doing many interesting things.
We enjoyed painting beautiful
sunset scenes which we have seen
in Redwood Falls lately. Also we
have discussed our color chart

We painted these colors to place
on our charts. Also we made an
other chart containing the pri-
mary, secondary, warm and cool
colorS.

ing correct usage of words. We
hope now to write better and
more interesting stories.

SENIOR HIGH NEWS
In Chemistry we have been
making soap and good soap too!
Maybe that is gentle hint for
mothers. We have made charts on
organic compounds; compounds
of practical use also. Just the
other day we experimental on
different kinds of materials by
putting acids on them. A couple
of dresses were also demonstrated
on accidentally. We are still, eX-
perimenting and having a great
deal of fun in Chemistry but also
some trying moments.
We have found out that Mr..
Tom doesn't only know chemis-
try but also some German. One
day we saw him translate one of
the girls German for her.

Tcckla switched back to Dorothys connec-
ton. Hello, Winnesaukee!" the New York
operator was trumpeting. "On your call to
London we have located Philip Tudor! He left
the Highmont Hotel this morning for the
country! We're keeping after hm!'
Right" Teckla exclaimed. Hello, Miss
Haverly!" she reported briskly. "On your call
to London we've located Mr.. Tudor!'
Only muted hum greeted her. Miss
Haverly! say we've located Mr.. Tudor!"
Teckla began to jab the plug rapidly in and out
! of the jack. Miss Haverly!' she called
The girl had gone. Was the phone all right?
rreckla tested the other private line Stevens
Earle had been using. The same vacuous still
ness brooded here.
Puzzled, she glanced down the board Her
eyes automatically sought the wire chiefs num-
ber If Jerry ever got here he'd have second
Job on his hands,
A light came in on the local board, the new
number in the Haverly boathouse. The tele-
phone had been installed only yesterday.
Quickly Teckla picked it up. Earle's crisp voice
greeted her. Operator Miss Haverly was called
away suddenly on an errand. She asked me to
cancel her CALL"
"Cancel The caA2"
Eyes. And now how about my call to
Bermuda? BY the way, will you transfer it to
his phone in the boathouse? There's an in
ernal lot of noise going on at the house -
barty you know"
"Just moment, Mr. Earle She shook her
ead in perplexity. This whole things mighty
unny," she concluded. Il wonder -" With
uick inspiration she stepped to the local board
nd rang the Johansens Her flattened thumb
ame down on the button.
Call Tommy Haverly to the phone, please"

Young Chris Johansen's voice said: why,
Tommy and Kathie Willets left here few
minutes ago to cross the lake."
Can you catch him before he puts out?"
Hold the line, Teckla, I'll try"
While she was waiting for Chris report, she
reluctantly broke Dorothys connection and
put Earle on the cord that still connected with
Chicago thence New York. She put in the call
for Bermuda and in minute gave Earle
report "On your call to Bermuda, the channel
is not suitable for traffic shall have to advise
YOU"
There was silence charged with explosives.
Then: you're putting something over on me,
operator! You're deliberately trying to block
that call!'
If there was one thing Teckla priced, it was
her twenty -year-ol reputation for honest and
efficient service. She swallowed her ire. "Mr.
Earle, that is the report the New York operator
gave me-"
whats the matter with the channel?"
"Static. But it may open any minute"
Earle came close to the instrument now,
desperate anxiety in his voice: Listen, oper-
ator. A steamer went down off Bermuda tonight.
Radio hasn't picked up word from her since
she flashed one SOS. almost two hours ago.
There was someone on that steamer very i'm
portant to me. Perhaps the survivors have been
picked up. Taken to port. I've got to get
Bermuda"
Hold the line, Mr. Earle. Ill have Bermuda
for you the instant the channel is open.'
Hello! Hello!'' she called, switching back to
Johansens' number.
"Hello!' Tommy Haverly was hollering.
"Oh! didn't mean to keep you waiting.
Mr.. Haverly, can you tell me where to find your
sister Dorothy? She put in a call for Europe

"Why, Dorothy ought to be home. Isn't she?"
II don't know. can't get the house. The
call was Cancelled. want her verifcation.'
who Cancelled that call, operator?" Tommy
asked coming close to the transmitter.
''Mr. Stevens Earle"
Teckla listened carefully for the reaction to
this announcement. Tense silence. The boys
voice, when he finally answered, sounded COM
pressed: Thanks for calling me- I'll see why
she doesn't answer"
The Chicago incoming signal flashed on
again. Teckla picked it up. Chicago calling
Stevens Earle, Lake four thousand"
Teckla cut in on the boathouse.
Chicago is calling you, Mr. Earle. Will you
take it first?"
Chicago? Put them on"
Teckla made the connection, then she sat
staring at it. In minute or two she saw by the
lights that the conversation was at an end. At
the same instant the signal on the line she was
holding to New York began to flash. She cut in.
Hello, Winnesaukee! On your call to Ber-
muda, the channel is open."
Hello, MIR. Earle" Teckla reported, "on
your call to Bermuda, the channel is open"
Mr.. Earle did not answer. She rang repeat
edly. There was no response.
Then she rang the Haverly house, and there
was still no sound as she sent the currents to-
ward the bell.
There can't be anything wrong with those
lines," she reasoned, "the night is perfect"
Yes, the summer night was perfect. There
was landing field on the other side of the lake,
and now she could hear the gathering hum of a
motor as a plane neared the resort. Undoubtedly
another week end party coming in from Chicago.
Evening star., 1938-04-10

She kept ringing. She rang persistently for
fifteen minutes. But she might as well have
tried to arouse the dead.
'Well," she said to herself. 1--WE still got
that line to New York and I'm going to hang
on to it. And am not going to cancel Dorothy's
CALL"
She rose from the switchboard, removed her
headset to rest her ear. She was nervous. 10
keep her hands busy she filled the little copper
teakettle with water and put it on the small
blaze of the gas plate for coffee later on.
A half hour passed. A sleepy farmer called
in for the time, night watchman rang police
headquarters to make his report. When the
night watchman hung up Captain Harper
flashed back to exchange greetings.
Hello, Teckla, having busy night?
Genial Captain Harper had been saying this
identical thing to the night operator for almost
twenty years.
''Oh, $3.50, Captain" She added c,niously,
"Have you had your radio turned on tonight?"
"Sue. It's been going all evening""
did you hear anything in the news about
steamer in distress off Bermuda?"
Eyes. An Italian boat - Viaoria think it
was. Bermuda bound from Naples"
From Naples? What happened to herr"
'Blew up her boilers hundred miles north
of her destination. Sent out one SOS. saying
she was sinking fast. She probably went down.
WE'LL goodnight, Teclla."
Goodnight, Captain Harper"
Teckla was pacing up and down the narrow
space before the switchboards when the New
York signal began to fash. With dash she
answered it.
Hello Winnesaukee" called the eastern
operator triumphantly "On your call to Lon
don, order your number. We are ready with
Mr.. Tudor!"
"Ach!" Teckla groaned to herself. This is
nice mess. scram around three hours trying to
locate one party and when get him the other
one turns up missing"
Right! she bluffed New York.
She rang the Haverly boathouse furiously.
No one answered. Where was Stevens Earle?
Where was Dorothy?
She rang the Haverly house. Both lines were
utterly dead. She was ringing the wire chiefs
number to check up on the whereabouts of
Jerry when pounding sounded on the door of
the operating room who's there?" she called
''Your field representative, little Kathie
Willets, no less."
Teckla leaned to the door and slipped the
bolt Pretty Kathie Willets swept in. her pink
ruffles futtering excitedly.
what in Winnesaukee's going on tonight.
Teckla? What did you do with Tommy
Haverly?"
What did do with him?"
Exactly. You just busted up the one golden
opportunity of my life time!"
''Me?"
"You. There l was stepping into swell
speedboat to 60 on swanky party with the
classiest kid that ever flew into town, and
the telephone rings. Chris Johansen comes fly
ing down to the dock. Hey, Tommy! The night
operator wants to talk to you! Back Tommy
flies to the phone. When he returns to me he's
a changed man. I'm sitting in the boat, swell

Finally Paddy announced that he
had too much to do to waste any
more time talking, and with a final
warning to Peter he slipped into the
water of his pond and swan away.

he could swim like that. If only hs
