Come what may, we'll never falter, Bat we'll strive to do the right, Ever cherishing these friendships Of our days in Carthage High. Commencement time, Commencement time Hear, it rings out loud and glad. For our hearts are gay, yet they are sad, As we part for every clime. Commencement time, Commencement time How it thrills our hearts anew, May we do great things and come back to you, Our dear old Carthage High.

Thcy 1' 'U' ' ,Emi , have been happy, well-spent yearsg and we shall cherish the memories of them forever. Our class entered the mysterious halls of the Carthage High School in September, 1922, as dazed Freshmeng but soon our cloak of timidity was thrown off, and We began to show our true value. We met early in the year to organize and showed excellent judgment in electing James Blankinship president of the class. Yellow and white were selected as our class colors and the daisy as our class flower. As Sophomores 'our energy and ability increased. Again James Blankinship was chosen as class president and again he proved that he was capable of fulfilling the position. Our Junior year was marked and brilliant. Under the fine leadership of John Schlecht, as president, we were able to accomplish much. As means of financing the Junior-Senior Reception we presented the Kan-Ida Duo which was a very clever entertainmentg we also found it necessary to help finance by other means, and so we had a fish po11d, which was quite a novel attraction. Our reception was given in the spring in the form of a banquet and was a great success. As Seniors, our illustrious class excels all others. We have given our best to our school and in return have received as bountifully. We have been active in all phases of school life. We are represented on the debating team, the football and basketball teams, in literary societies, in musical organizations and in all other fonms of school activity. This year we chose Charles Rohde as president, and he i.s indeed worthy to head this distinguished class. We have a good reputationg and under our motto, Let us be known by our deeds, we hope to attain greater fame. Our class play promises to be the best ever given, and our graduation exercises in the democratic caps and gowns will be very impressive. As we look into the future, beyond the life in our beloved school, we feel assured that our class will go on striving and achieving and will be known by its deeds.

Early in the year we assembled, electing officers and choos- ing purple and white as our colors and the White rose as our flower. Again 9353 rv in the fall of 1925 we met and chose our president, Frank Jones, who has proven himself very successful. This class of 1928 is well represented in all the school activities: societies, debating clubs, musical organizations and athletics.

The .stage was beautiful in its Dgivd Christmas decorations-a most appropriate setting for the assembling of those coming home, whether from school, the home, the farm, or wherever it might be. Around the tree gathered alumni from the classes dating back from 1925 to more than twenty-five years ago. ' Homecoming is the time of pleasant confusion and bustle.

The society has twenty-eight members, maximum number being thirty. Under the guidance of Miss McCoy, the adviser, and with Marguerite Knight presiding, the year 1925-'26 has been most successful. The first semester's programs were devoted to the study of etiquette, and during the second semester, colleges were studied. The Altrurians gave a play, Behind the Scenes, on December 11, 1925. About one hundred dollars was netted, this amount being used for charity purposes at Christmas time. - The new members were entertained last fall with a tacky party at the home of Kathleen Wilson.

Some type of social event will be given at the end of the year as a farewell to the graduating members. The programs this year have been both instructive and entertaining. Miscel- laneous programs were presented the first quarter. The rest of the year was devoted to the study of etiquette and dramatics. The society wishes to express its gratitude to Miss McMurtry for her advice and efficient services as faculty adviser.

The purpose of this society is the mutual improvement of its members in literature and art. Twenty-nine members, drawn together with the strong hands of friendship and co- operation, have accomplished much during the year 1925-1926. The programs have consisted of studies of the different countries of the world with their races and characteristics, recent good books and their authors, with miscellaneous programs interspersed. By amending its constitution, Aristonian invited and welcomed into its midst five charter honary members, all teachers in Carthage schools, with its able sponser, Miss Alice Marseilles included. As a welcome for the new members, a lovely luncheon was given early in the fall at the home of Frances Trowbridge. Some of the other activities have been: Mother's Day party, Convocation program, alumnae party and a senior farewell party at the close of the year.

It is the aim of all its members to make the Athenian Society help in keeping high standards in our high school. The programs this year have been on various subjects, all of which proved interesting and profitable. This year the Athenians gave a convocation program in observance of St. Patrick's day. Much of the club's success is due to the efficient supervision of Miss Halli- burton, faculty adviser for the society.

The purpose of the club is to promote a thorough knowledge of the principles and practice of parliamentary law, to develop public-speaking ability by debate and other club activities, and to promote the education and civic welfare of its members. The club looks forward ambitiously each year toward participation in several events. Perhaps the most coveted prize of the year is for a member to qualify for the inter-high school debating team. Edwin A. Hough won this distinction by secur- ing a place on this year's team. Six of ten Roach Medals have gone to Forum members. The Forum has furnished eight of sixteen members on the debating teams: and out of fourteen Carthaginian editors nine have come from the Forum. For this year's success, as well as that of previous years, the club is much indebted to the untiring efforts and valuable critisms of its adviser, Mr. Richards. Page 68 'eil IQ26 IQ?

The club, true to the purpose for which it was organized, has done much toward familiarizing its members with parliamentary law and order of debate. Living up to the example of previous Clay members, this year's members have taken a very active part in all school activities. The club has a member this year, for the last term, one of the most brilliant orators that has ever made his acquaintance in Carthage High School-none other than John Schlecht. The Clay Club claims the four class presidents of 1926 and various outstanding members of the Carthaginian Staff, and also the president of the Hi-Y. This year's Roach Medal was won by a Clay member. Much of the club's success is due to the unbiased advisery counsel of Mr. Brown, our faculty adviser.

The club took an instant hold and has been steadily progressing ever since. In the second year We furnished one member of the alternate team, in the third year both alternates were Websterians, in the fourth year we furnished one member of the debating team and one member of th alternate team, and this year We are represented by Raymond Tomlinson and Robert Harris on the alternate team. Several of our members are planning to try out for the Roach Medal Contest. The club has had a very successful year. It is well represented in the activities of the school. Our membership is limited to twenty-four member.s. The club has been very fortunate in obtaining the efficient and helpful advice of Mr. Wilson, our faculty adviser.

The programs are so planned as to give each member a chance to take part in every meetingg and much benefit is derived from them. The annual convocation program was presented March 5. The club assisted by other members of the French classes, gave in music and pageantry a representa- tion of the French Republic, paying tribute to her illustrious citizens. A playlet, L'Enfant Volee, was also presented. Misses Lois Hench and Austa Kidder were accompanists. The French Club party was given March 25, and the annual picnic was held May 5.

Instead of lectures as in previous years, we have had some very interesting discussions led by different nieinbers of the club and by competent nien of Carthage. In addition, at one nieeting Mr. Isaacs, a native of India, gave the club a very interesting talk on life in India. Mr. F. M. Liddle, State Y. M. C.

Liferofy 1' 1 AN H0f'tz'c'ulture in the Ozarks CHARLES ROHDE ORTICITLTURE, although still in its infancy as far as future development ol' this industry is concerned, is now one of the main dependences of the 5, people of this region. Business men and fruit growers, alike, watch with ' '3' 5 much expectancy the harvesting of the truly great crops of this branch of agriculture, for it furnishes a source of wealth that has now become a fixed factor in the determination of business prosperity. Any of the fruits grown in the temperate zone may well be grown here, but, of course, as is the case with all sections of the country, there are certain kinds which thrive best and in which this region excels. Even here, however, one may find an extra large field for choice, since the quick maturing and more permanent and less rapid maturing species may be grown with equal and surprising results. Tree fruits and small fruits are now being produced on the flat land, to cross the wild Ozark grape with tame- varieties, and his yearly. Yet, only a small percent of the fruit land suitable is now in use. Perhaps one of the best known Ozark fruits is the grape. lt was early evident that the wild grapes found in this region were of unusual hardiness and quality. It was this fact that caused Herman Jaeger, an early .settler and a native of Switzer- lands and in the hilly sections, to the amount of millions of dollars success was so surprising that it even surpassed his expectations: with the result that he planted fifty acre.s. It was about this time that the grape louse was causing much trouble in France, where it seemed that checking the insect was impossible. Through the suggestion of Jaeger, a shipment of seeds' and cuttings from the wild Ozark grapes was sent to the French Government, where it was found it would produce a stronger vine and one that would not be destroyed by the grape louse. This is a very striking example of the hardiness of this fruit, and it has, since that date, gained an ever increasing popularity, which is evidenced' by the increased plantings each year. The soil and climate are unusually well suited to grape culturevthe climate is ideal, the hills provide proper drainage, and the soil is l'ertile, although rocky. Moore's Early and Concord are the leading varieties grown and are shipped in carload lots, which in itself is an incentive for further production, and the Ozark crop iipens and reaches market two or three weeks earlier than the product of other sections. The plants are very free from disease, and the fruit ripens evenly and ships extremely well. The Ozarks is called the home of the apple, and well it is known that the Missouri apple surpasses all otheis in flavor. As proof of this, let me offer the record-fthat shown in the world fairs in both America and the Continent from 1893 to the present day- apples from this region have received meritorious recogni- tion in medals, cups, ribbons and cash awards. This industry has reached its highest development in Lawrence, Greene and Newton counties, and the acreage is increas- lng rapidly in litany other parts of the region. In fact, the increasing acreage gives promise of surpassing similar areas in apple production in the states, New York, Washington, and Virginia. The leading commercial varities grown in the Ozarks are Ben Davis, Gano, Jonathan, Ingram, York Imperial and Winesap. Page 83 wi 1926 vw I, . ,, ? M V f wwf fn 5 f 4 ,N my 1 616 amy! ,., xwuw In some sections, community plans for increasing apple acreage have been started, whereby land owners agree to plant a certain number of acres to apples- thus helping greatly to develop further the cooperative marketing system. Peaches, plums and cherries are also grown in abundanceg this section being exceptionally well suited by the nature of its topography, geographical position- near the great central markets of the middle west-and the fruit here ripens just after the main southern crop and before the commercial crops of northern regions. In addition to the tree fruits and grapes, much attention has been given to the production of the smaller fruits. Like the grape, wild blackberries are abundant throughout the Ozark hills, but, at present, have not been developed as much as other small fruits. Strawberries have been especially developed, however, and it is claimed by many that for quick, sure returns, no crop is equal. Berries are now shipped in car lots to all sections of the country and, due to the wonderful quality, have been received with enthusiasm everywhere. This rare quality is due partly to the natural productiveness of the soil and partly to the culling and efficient business basi.s upon which they are produced. As much as one thousand dollars worth of berries have been picked from one acre in one season. In fact, the chances for success are unlimited, depending only on one's own desire to succeed. The Aroma i's'the leading commercial variety grown, while Klondike and Dunlap also are grown, particularly for h-ome use. In order to take care of the fruit crops of this truly great region, cold storage plants have sprung up and railroads have been built to all points of production so the crops are shipped with speed and profit. The railroads have been very helpful in building up this industry and now maintain bureaus to help the grower out of ' difficulties and further the industry whenever possible. In discussing the subject of transportation, the numerous concrete and hard-surface roads hold an important place. They are well located and enable rapid travel, both for the distribution of products and pleasure through the beautiful scenic country. It is advised by all eminent horticulturists to grow varieties that are adapted to the region, and nowhere will be found better opportunities to secure well adapted stock, for excellent nurseries are located within easy reach of all growers. It is but natural in the consideration of a permanent industry, such as this great fruit industry really is, that thought should be given to the future. According to a recent survey, the soil in many areas is a product of original formation of lime- stone and coarse sand with a cementing material of ferric oxide. There is a red clay subsoil which retains fertilizers and responds wonderfully to cultivation. So, when it is known that as yet only a .small percent of the suitable land has been put under cultivation, one can but wonder at the possibilities of this region. As is the case in any form of agriculture, it is best not to gamble on one crop, so is it true in the case of fruit raising. Considering thi.s fact, We, in this section have been ably provided for by Nature, in that in addition to great variety in fruits, we are equally well situated for poultry and dairy production-either one or both of which fits in well with a system of horticulture. In conclusion, let it be said that, by organized common interest and with good market facilities, this section has a very bright future in the line of horticulture and other agriculture products.

Watch Hz's Qymoie HERBERT VAN FLEET by gag T was 5:30 on an evening in winter, and was beginning to grow dark. ,J .. Q, . Through the dusk hurried a boy. He was a handsome boy, ot' a wiry, ffirlfgfj, strong build, looking every inch the athlete he was. This was James Hale, 1749.35 a prominent student in the Hillcrest Hight School. A good student, foot- ball player, captain of the basketball team, and a fair runner, he had one weakness, his apparently unconquerable desire for cigarettes. He saw no use in training rules, and according to himself, he could play just as well as if he gave up smoking. The only persons from whom he hid his smoking were the coach, Dorothy Whitehead, his best girl, and his parents. The rest of the team knew that he smoked, and thought, that since their cap- tain didn't keep the rules, they need not either. Consequently the team was weaker than in former years. They had lost three games, and won l'our, so far this season. .lim must hurry, it was getting late and this was the night of the big game with Pleasantvale, Hillcrest's strongest rival. Just as he was turning in at the gate of his home, he met a girl. She was of medium height. and had dark wavy hair and big brown eyes. She was quite pretty, and had a wonderful personality. This was Dorothy VVhltehead, whom Jim cared for in his boyish way, and she secretly admired him. Hi, Dot, said Jim. Why hello, Jim. she answered. May I take you to the game? Surely. All right. I'll he around about 7:15. I must hurry now. So long! Goodbye, see you later, she answered. That night the gymnasium was packed to the fullest capacity, and the crowd was very much exited. One could feel the tension in the air. When the yell leader called for a yell, a great response was given. The girls were already on the floor, and soon the first game started. It was a hard fought game from start to finish. Yells for both teams were given with much vim and volume. At the end of the half, Hillcrest was behind, but the game ended with a score of 26 to IS in favor of Hillcrest. Then the boys came onto the floor, and the real yelling began. After the game had progressed about five minutes, the score was 2 to 2. When either team made a basket, the crowd became yelling maniacs. The half ended with Hillcrest leading by two Jim had played him. He was a ended with the After the points. When the second half started, the tension was even greater. a good game the first half, but his wind seemed to be telling on little more nervous and didn't seem so sure of his shots. The game score four points in favor of Pleasantvale. game, .lim ami Dot were walking home, Dot said, Jim, I hear smoking. you have been Why yes, a little. It doesn't hurt me. I know it does, because you aren't playing as well this year as you did last. lt's all on account of your smoking. You were winded this evening by the end of the first quarter. You can't play and smoke. You can't smoke and go with me. Well, it' all you think of me, is to throw me over for a little thing like that, answered Jim, all right. No girl is going to run me. Jim, I don'l want to run you, but you know right from wrong as well as I do, and you needn't call on me again until you have seen yourself as I see you. You are not only ruining your own playing, but through your influence, the whole team is weakened. You think it over, and .see what you decide. That night .lim slept but little. He wanted to have Dot'.s friendship, he wanted to play his best basketball, and he wanted cigarettes. He reasoned and argued with himself and finally he decided that he was too much of a man to let a little Page 85 vw 1926 IGN ',f piece of paper about two inches long rule him. He would at least give abstinence a trial. The next day he did a lot of calling over the phone. His mother heard him say several times, 'fBe here at 2:30. About 2:30 there were ten boys in .Iim's room. They we1'e all talking and wondering what was up. They knew it must be something about basketball, since they were all on the squad. A few minutes later Jim came in and faced them. Fellows, he said, I have called you here to talk over an important matter. We haven't been keeping the training rules as we should. I have been the chief offender, but I have done a lot of thinking since last night and have decided to quit smoking and staying out late. I'm also ready to admit that it took a girl to wake lne up. What do you say, let's all stop smoking. A buzz of conversation followed, and finally one fellow, the center on the team, said, We are willing. Let's make a resolution right here to keep training rules. We have another chance at Pleasantvale next week. Let's show 'em what we can do. Then they all shook hands and the deal was closed. When Jim told Dot, she was very happy and was frank to tell him so. Jim felt repaid for his struggle, after being commended by Dot. The boys were true to their word and the team began to show up better. After four nights of hard practice, the boys were ready for Pleasantvale. Friday night rolled around. This time the game was to be at Pleasantvale. The school had a special assembly, and gave the team a royal send-off. Everyone who could was going with the team. Finally 7:30 came, and the girls' game was called. Not much attention was paid to it, as they were all waiting for the boys' game. Then came the game of games. Although the air had seemed tense before, the tension now increased by the minute. The ball went into the air, the whistle blew and the game was on. The Hillcrest center got the tip-off and the ball was carried down the floor, Jim got it and dropped it in the basket. The Hillcrest rooters went wild. Again the ball went up, this time a Pleasantvale man got it, and a basket was made by a Pleasantvale forward. And so it went, one team getting a basket now, and the other one in the next few minutes. At the end of the half the score was 13 to 13. One team must have bad luck, with a score like that. ' The second half began, the baskets became fewer and the game tighter. The third quarter ended with a 15 to 15 score. During the last quarter the pace began to show on the Hillcrest boys. A week's training hadn't been enough to overcome the effect of the long non-observance of the rules. Pleasantvale got a lead of four points, then a Hillcrest forward made a basket. There were only a few minutes to play, and the Pleasantvale captain called for time. When his team came back in, they played what seemed to be an air-tight defensive game. Four minutes elapsed with only one point made, and that by Jim on a foul. The last minute of the game, and Jim had the ball in the center of the court. Here was his big chance. He real- ized that he probably couldn't get through the defense, he must try a shot from center. He aimed slowly, the ball left his hand. It arched beautifully, hit the back- board, rolled around the rim and dropped-out. A Pleasantvale man caught it, and started up the floor just as the final whistle blew. The game was over. Hillcrest had lost, 19 to 18. Jim went into the shower room with a heavy heart. He had lost, not only for himself, but for his school. When he came out of the dressing room he met Dot. How was the game? he asked. lt was fine, and Jim, it did me good to see you fighting like you did. That's some satisfaction, he said, I've had enough dissatisfying things for one night. I've lost all my ambition. Jim, she answered, you have two things that you didn't have when you went into that game tonight. You have won your fight over cigarettes, and you have learned that to do your best at any game, you must observe all the rules. Yes, and I have learned to let a girl run me when it is for my own good. It's due to you that I saw my mistake, and I want to thank you. I will be back on the team next year and redeem myself to you, my teammates, myself, and my schoo1.

Rufus, called a voice at the door and not waiting for a reply a fair haired giant entered the room. It was Inez Lewis, Greenwood's .star guard. Don't you dread facing the coach after last night? No, I don't., the girl addressed replied with spirit. I think we played a good game. Oh, I guess it's the custom for captains to say such things, remarked Margery from her position before the mirror. Rufus, just between us, I don't think it'll pay to waste any more of our few chances to win with Barbara Allen guarding, Inez stated. I had to try to to guard my forward and hers, too. She just let them run over her. Well, I must say I was disappointed in her last night, admitted Captain Stevens. 'Ilut she practices so regularly and wants so much to play. We can't afford to let her anyway. She acts like she's afraid of getting hurt, Margery complained. I'm hoping she'll develop into a good player like her brother. I know that isn't the reason for her not playing so l1ard. She's far too fine for that. She never hesitates to attempt anything difficult. Oh, let's change the subject awhile, said the restless Margery. Yes, let's do, laughed Ruth. Everything I've tried to talk about today you've changed to basketball. But let's talk about assembly this morning. What did they have? asked Inez. I didn't, have time to go. I'll tell you, 'Margery volunteered. Miss Russell announced about the inter- school council. it's the same idea as the students' council in some schools, only on a larger scale. There are two representatives from each school in the district. The council is to decide cases against students accused of violating school spirit. They fix standards t'or students to reach in order to take part, in athletics. It is also their duty to uphold the ideals of their schools. The committee of school officials is now choosing the representatives for this year, but from now on, the student body will choose them. I wonder what girl will be chosen. It'll be quite an honor as well as responsibility, won't it? The conversation was interrupted by the striking of a distant clock. Winer-, it's time to go! Inez exclaimed, suiting the action to the word. The girls hurried down the hall. They looked questioningly at Ruth when they arrived at the door of Barbara A1len's room. Ruth did not hesitate a moment. She knocked on the door and called, Barbara, 'bout ready to go? Not quite, replied a muffled voice from within. We'll go on, then, Ruth answered cheerfully. I'll bet she feels pretty bad, she added, as the girls went on toward the gym. Page 8 T W' 1926 'W ' Z .,,,.,, ,. . ,.,. Y , . ,.,, ... , M , , ,WWW ff, -f V, . V 'ff Q Q- I VV '. J. f 53 'W Q..

Inside the room a girl was struggling with herself. Although attired in gym clothes, she made no move to follow the other players, but sat with her head lying dejectedly on her desk, evidently studying. Her thoughts were anything but cheerful. Why couldn't she play better? She realized the recent defeat was largely her fault. This realization was very bitter to the girl who had always longed to do something for her school and to follow up the brilliant record of her older brother. She felt that she had failed both her family and her school. She knew also that Ruth was blamed because she had put her in the game. 'Tll go to practice, anyway, decided the girl suddenly. They can't do more than put me off the squad. After Ruth was so nice, I must go. They shan't call me a quitterf' As if afraid her resolution would weaken, Barbara snatched her sweater and ran from the room. When she arrived at the gym, most of the squad was there. The coach soon arrived and began calling attention to points of weakness and strength in the team's work. Turning to Barbara, he said, half jestingly, Barbara was afraid she'd hurt somebody. Well, I didn't want to hurt her, the girl protested, almost defiantly. Ha, ha, laughed the coach, I thought so. You're too conscientious for bas- ketball. But here the coach was wrong, for nothing worth while is accomplished by foul means. Barbara, who had carefully avoided her team mates, had not seen a strange woman enter the building, and now, turning quickly away to hide the tears, she did not see the eyes of the strange woman narrow suddenly as she regarded the girl thoughtfully. The rest of that practice was misery to Barbara. In spite of herself, she could not bear to scramble about over her friends. The stranger watched care- fully every play. The only sign of her interest was an occasional nod of her head. The next morning in assembly, Miss Russell announced that a girl had been chosen to represent Greenwood in the council. The room immediately became silent. Every eye was tu1'ned toward the stranger, whom only Margery Smith recognized as the woman who had visited the gym. She rose to her feet and spoke, Miss Barbara Allen has been chosen, not only a member of the council, but also chairman. The walls rang with the applause of the student body. As happy Barbara slipped from the room after assembly, she overheard the stranger say: I watched her, then, to distinguish whether she was really thinking of the other fellow or just afraid for herself. But I'm completely satisfied with what I saw. I selected Miss Allen, not to discredit athletics, because I think basketball a wonderful sport, but in recognition of a sometimes disregarded fact. Everyone has an opportunity to win, and the laurels are not always to the most gifted. Her action yesterday was a deciding factor between her and some others. The words Barbara treasured most were those of Ruth Stevens. The captain said that evening, as she clasped Barbara's hand, I knew you would come out win-- ner, because you weren't a quitter. We're mighty proud of you. Mark Twain once listened to a speech made in the Senate by a distinguished statesman. The hun1ori.st niet the politician later in the lobby, and thought he would have a little fun with him. Do you know, sir, I have a book at home faud a very old booky that contains every word of that speech you just delivered? said Mark. The Senator waxed wroth, and in an indignant tone replied: 'fl insist that the speech was entirely original. I would not stoop to such a contemptible practice as plagiarism. I defy you to produce the book you n1ention. A few days later the Senator received the copy of the book. Mark Twain had mailed him an old copy of Webster's Dictionary. -George A. Posner.

Jessie Ralston impatiently banged her locker door shut. Oh, Elsie, she called to a girl who had just left the locker next to hers, come here a minute! ' A s -an 1 gf' l.. Elsie came. Listen, kid, said Jessie in a low, urgent tone, have you got your algebra? Yes, reluctantly admitted Elsie. She knew what was coming. Will you let. me have it, please? I simply cau't get it. I went to a party last night and didn't have time to get it then, and I'm so sleepy this morning I can't think. Elsie handed her a neatly folded paper. Here it is. She turned away with :1 disgusted look on her face. Jessie Ralston is a cheat, she said to a friend as they walked down the hall, and I haven't backbone enough to refuse to let her have my paper. Oh well, it's her own business, I guess. She dismissed the matter with a shrug. A few days later Elsie and Jessie again met at their lockers. Gee-! exclaimed Jessie. I know I'll flunk in that algebra test. I studied hours last night, but I can't get that stuff into my head. The worst of it is I've copied your problems so much that Miss Allen expects wonders of me! The algebra test came. At the close of the period, as Elsie ' passed out of the room just behind Jessie, she heard Miss Allen say, I'd like to see you after school, Jessie. That evening after school Elsie saw Jessie slowly approach Miss Allen's room. She looked worried. Two hours later the girls niet on the street. Jessie, evidently absorbed in thought, did not look up and made no response to Elsie's g1'eeting. The next day, ,much to Elsie's surprise, Jessie did not ask to copy her algebra. Moreover, she had some of the problemsg and when Miss Allen asked her to explain one of them, she gave a clear explanation instead of the hazy one that brands a mathematics student who copies. Elsie was puzzled, Her wonder was increased when, later in the day, she overheard a conversation between Jessie and a friend. What are you going to wear to the party to-night? asked the other girl. I'm not going. Not going! Why? I have to study. I have to get my English and algebra. '4I've got my English. You can copy it, and Elsie will let you have her algebra. No, l'u1 not going to copy. Well! When did you reform? scoffed her friend. Conte on and go any way. What's a little copying between friends Jessie flushed. Don't say any more about it, please. I'n1 not going to copy qu from you or any one else.

Jessie turned to Elsie. Elsie, she said, I have something to say to you. I might as well say it now as any time. You heard what I told Mabel? Yes Well, I mean it. 1,111 through with cheating. I'm sorry I ever copied any- thing. I want you to help me, please. If you ever see that I'm tempted to cheat, will you remind me of my resolve? Please do, Elsie! It's going to be hard for me, I know, and you can help me a lot. All El.sie's former contempt for Jessie vanished. She saw in the girl a strength and fineness she had not realized were there, Of course I'll help you, she said warmly. That isf' she amended, if I can. l'm so glad you feel the way you do about it. As the days swiftly passed, Elsie and Jessie became close friends. Jessie's struggle against the habit that had so firm a hold on her was not easy. It was made harder by the attitude of many of her former friends. Gradually, however, they drifted away, leaving Jessie to pursue her difficult way neither hindered nor aided by them. Elsie still wondered what had brought about the change in Jessie's outlook. As she noted a growing friendship between Jessie and Miss Allen, the thought came to her, that perhaps that beloved algebra teacher was in some way responsible. But she said nothing to Jessie about it, wisely waiting for Jessie to broach the subject herself. It was on the last day of school that she finally found out. Together the girls went to Miss Allen's room to tell her goodbye. As they walked home afterwards, Jessie broke a long silence by saying, Elsie, I think Miss Allen is the most wondeful teacher I have ever known. She is wonderful, agreed Elsie. Last fall, when-when I-you know-when I decided not to copy any more, it was because of her. You know I'd been copying a lot and I didn't know any- thing about algebra, so when the test came, I couldn't do anything. I didn't want to let her know that, of course, so I-I copied some more. She saw me. Most teachers would have called me down before the whole class or even reported it to the superintendent, but not Miss Allen. She didn't say a word till we were leaving the room. Then she asked me to come back after school. Gee, I was scared! I went, and she talked to me a long time. She told me how sorry' she was I had copied. Then she begged me to stop cheating. She told me about a girl she knew who had cheated all through high school and had been expelled from college for doing it. Then she told me so much about-oh, I can't tell even you all she said. She made me feel sorry I'd ever done anything the least bit dishonest. I'd promise her any thing she thought I ought to, I believe! I promised her then that after that I'd be honest--and I have, haven't I? Yes, said Elsie, you've kept your promisef' Y it kg? i1,:f5 -5 K t ,ff J' 1751.1 ajft. ' ,sz'y'l,. .N . , 4 Ita?

For that reason, it for no other w have, in the world, people who can love and create thing of beauty. It is not, as we might be led to I think, an imposing machine of scales, arpeggios, and chords. Neither is real music a mathematical calculation in harmony and rhythm. It is true that theory has its place in music, but music was never intended to be an intricate puzzle. Music is a beautiful, living thing, and no composer or music lover can he a true musician until he can fathom the soul of the most intricate compositions. V I 4 1 fc .. . . . , -yr-wff music. usic is a its fi . . . . ' 3 e All of our poor little tunes are not music, and many things which we rarely associate with music are closely related to it. Poetry with its rhythm, its harmony, and its beauty is very, very closely related to music. In fact, they are nearly iden- tical. Both are modes of expressing emotion and thought, both are products of imagination. and both are things of beauty. Painting also is closely related to music. Each piece of music is lovely as a picture-a picture, perhaps of home lit'e, of foreign lands, or of simple peasant life. But it it is not a selfish picture-existing, only, for people to admire its beauty and perfection. It is a picture that we can treasure. .something that we can feel is ours. And yet, while we have fin the world this sort of music, we give that name to some of , our pitiful little tunes! Those little tunes which give us noth- ing-selfish, self-centered little tunes. Truly as some one has said, Bad music is more pernicious than evil. But we cannot call this real music. The purpose of music is service, and if it does not fill this requirement, a production is only a poor, weak imitation. For each piece of real music brings into our lives something bigger and finer than we have felt before. lt awakens new thoughts, new ideals, new purposes. Or it brings joy into our lives. The Glad music which is not ordinarily considered good music is far more valuable than some of our cold, soulless, classically beautiful music. It has done a great work for every one, if it has made but one person a bit happier. It has helped to make someone's life successful, for, after all, isn't the success that we really struggle and fight and die for, real happiness? And is not this glad little melody really great? For, to be great, music has to be big enough to be loved and understood. And this thing that can add so much to our lives will be preserved. Music can never die. Since primitive man gave vent to his emotions in numberless .strange sounds, music has lived. It can never die, for it is a pa1't of us. With 'music we worship God. It is one of the finest things we have to offer Him. Our music is a part, of our education. In homes where music exists there is more peace, more harmony, more rest. And music has meant even more to us. It has given to us standards and ideals which have been factors in the development of our civilization and which have set us apart from other beings that inhabit the earth.

It can mean more to us. Music is the embodiment of dreams and ideals. It can never be a practical thing. It has very little in common with the substantial things of life. But all of us at some time or other, rebel against these things and seek, for a time, the clouds. And it is good for us to seek the clouds! It is these things which make us grow and help us to find the finer things. How could we live without our ideals? How could we be happy without our dreams? Every great man has had dreams, and because he had dreams, and the courage and enthusiasm to make them realities, he has become great. And music furnishes us inspiration for fulfilling the dreams which it brings to us. For the man who sings his way through life, is a person of whom we are all proud. So let us be music lover.s. Let us learn to speak in the language which expresses those emotions for which there are no words. Let us tune the ears of our soul so that they can receive the things not meant for ordinary ears. Every musician has something to give to us-something of which we can be proud. For with every production, the true artist gives to us a part of himself. It is his pearl of great price. If we realized how much it has meant to the composer, and how much it might mean to us, we should, perhaps, decide that it should not be cast before swine. ll U Buz'la'z'11g Me Bmkfge An old man, going a lone highway, Came, at the evening, cold and gray, To a chasm, vast, and deep, and wide, Through which was flowing a sullen tide.

HOUGH The Oration That Won the Gold Medal at the University of Missouri, Columbia, in 1925. ,a TM LTHOUGH a nation is a government, a nation is not created by the adoption of constitutions nor by obedience to lawg its existence is not manifested by conventions nor by congresses. A nation exists only in Ei,f'i'Z the spiritual consciousness of a great people and consists literally of the ideals, aspirations, hopes and fears which they have in common. Remembering this, it must be accepted that the rise of the American people is, in itself, a beautiful relation. The history of the 'United States has been a growth, unspoiled and lovely, the natural, normal growth of the child, protected from luxury in its adolesence and furnished with every necessity as manhood approached: lacking experience, not knowing how or when to utilize his resources, but sane, strong, courageous, unrelenting. Viewing it as a whole, we find that the essence of American history is the achieving of nationality by a great people. It is the only instance in all human history where ' we can watch the consciousness of nationality dawning in the indi- vidual mind. But, while this history alone is the subject of the greatest fascination in itself, there is an infinitely greater American accomplishment, something to be admired and respected by every succeeding generation--I refer to the p1'actical establishment and the patient and profitable ,preservation and development of the greatest democracy on earth. The three greatest achievements of the American people have been these: they have transformed this continent from a low condition of barbarism to a high state of civilization: they have developed a commercial and industrial system of vast proportions: and they have evolved the greatest democracy the world has yet seen. While following the general course of political theory of all modern governments, the American government has taken on a character different from all others. In no other country have the same conditions been obtained. Here was a virgin soil, uncontaminated by old world ideas of society, religion, govern- ment. To occupy this soil, there came a people peculiarly adapted to plant such a system as was planted-the American Democracy, a republic, a representative democracy. Through the entire history of American Democracy the American people have played an exceedingly important role. Our leaders have been more than politicians, vieing for political honors: they have been even more than establishers of represen- tative government-they have been the patrons of true democracy in its broadest sense. Patronage directly implies fatherly defense and protection, and development and improvement resultant in advantages to its own cause. This patronage is the substance of our progress. We bless the memory of our first and greatest hero, because he had no desire for a crown and, so by his personal influence helped to make the choice of ruling classes in the United States, not autocratic, but democratic. As leaders in the patronage of democracy, we have brought many benefits to ourselves. We are promoting democracy by forgetting ourselves in the thought of others, We are learning that real democracy means not that I am as good as you, but that you are as good as I. The conscience of the people knows no class. This movement for democracy in our national life is not a craze. This democratic Page 93 em IQ26 nw G ffi movement is a deep tendency of our lives, it is our mysterious link with the infinite body of humanity-that body in which the good of one is the good of all. But, whatever this conscience of democracy is, it is binding us into a closer national union than we have ever known before, making us one blood in our common aspiration. At the bottom, all this desire to spread democracy is but the spur of national consciousness. Down through the successive years and up to the present time, through that tranquil progress of Democracy, we have come to see that the truly national ideal is the good of the whole people, and that only by the fullest protection of the rights of the minority and of the greater entity, the State itself can a great and free people attain in the highest degree Liberty and Union, now and forever, one and inseparable. Besides these innumerable benefits to Americans, our patronage of democracy has rendered invaluable services to the world. If our first experiment in democracy had failed, the idea of popular, democratic governments in the world must have been pronounced impossible. The immediate return to autocracy might have been the dirge to that noble attempt. But the accomplishment to be praised is, that the American people succeed in preserving and adding to their experiments that they might stand as lasting arguments for the feasibility of democratic government. Through societies, associations, conferences and conventions, which develop in Ameri- cans self-sacrifice and self-control-wboth necessary to a permanent democracy, they have made democracy an essential factor in the history of every modern nation. Thus, indeed, is it easy to see that the American people have been the patrons of democracy. But what course are we to follow? Are we just to glory in the achievements of our predecessors? Are we to be content, allowing their work to fall to ruin? We are not! Our duty lies in the continuation of that noble patronage. Nevertheless, our duty and our life-work is extremely difficult, because it is my firm conviction that the only way in which we continue to serve democracy is to make the world safe for democracy -to lead the world in abolishing war and in establishing international peace, for it is only in a realm of world peace that true democracy can survive. - ' From the beginning of history, War has greedily telnpted nations to the glories of conquest and gain. The result has always been disastrous. Germany listened to the tempter and chose the kingdoms of the world. And Germany in 1921-a chaotic turmoil. That grim tempter, war, never allows a nation to complete the chapterg never shows the whole picture. Behind the gorgeous visions he paints, floating in rosy mist, lurk death-starvation-poverty-despair-a civilization becomes waste and ashes. War does not show these, and as long as men continue to endure the tempter, the true patronage of democracy must cease. We must see to it that men shall no longer spill the blood of men for their ambition and the sweat of men for their greed. In dealings with our neighbors, the principle of right, not might, should be our motto, and we should resolutely pursue the paths of peace. War is the greatest of all social wastes. It is not only wicked and cruel, bringing bitter suffering to the weak and entailing heavy burdens on generations unborn, but it distracts attention from needed reforms and impedes the progress of civilization and democracy. The late World War has shown to what a catastrophe national arming has led, and would probably again lead, the most civilized nations of the world. It would, indeed, be a moral defeat for the White race to despair of escaping from this calamity. We see that humanity needs supremely a code of respect for inter- national law and even more supremely, international cooperation in promoting the arts of peace. ' Our directing world peace i.s not a mere idealistic fancy. It is the natural position of this great democracy among the nations of the earth. In its noblest vocation, it will indeed be a glorius day for the United States when the good sense and the self-respect of the American people see in this their manifest duty. And should we repeatedly fail, the world will remain in the .same retarded position as Page 94 wi- 1926 sw '+L 5.0 TT in 1914. But, it is our life-long duty, as Americans, to see that we do not fail and to see that international peace is established. In this way, and in this way only, do I believe that present-day Americans can further be the-PATRONS OF DEMOCRACY. Peace-and no longer from its brazen portals The blast of war's great organ shakes the skies, But, beautiful as songs of the immortals, The holy melodies of peace arise. ....1f- ll1 -4-...

GOOD citizen recognizes, as one of his responsibilities, the importance I of informing himself in regard to the big problems of our country. That fhjk- If we as citizens of the United States may familiarize ourselves with some 'if-AV ' of the facts of one big problem, I shall attempt to relate correctly some of the facts concerning the recent anthracite coal miner's strike. On September 1, 1925, 158,000 workers in the Pennsylvania anthracite coal mines struck. Since then Cuntil about the middle of Februaryl practically no coal has been mined in the one thousand mines located in the ten anthracite producing counties of Penn- sylvania, except that which has been mined by the miners for their own use. This coal is really stolen, but the operators, to avoid further hard feelings, make no objections. Due to the 81,150,000 loss in wages daily, business in the communities is either at a standstill or going backward. Now, all the money is going out of the district and none is coming in, as there was when 266,000 tons were produced each day. The strike is the result of this situation: a two-year contract between the operators and miners, expired August 31, 19253 wherupon the miners demanded a ten percent increase in tonnage rates, a dollar a day additional wage for day men, and a new two-year contract along with other features. The operators refused to consider the demands which would increase the cost of mining, but suggested arbitration. The union labor leaders ordered a strike. On December 29, after Governor Plnchot had tried and failed to bring about a settlement, representatives of the miners and operators began a series of conferences at the Union League Club in New York. After important concession.s by both sides had seemed to promise an agreement, the conference came to a deadlock over the question of arbitration, and unceremoniously adjourned Uanuary 121 to meet again at the call of the Chair, at the request of either party. Since then both parties have determined to break the other. The operators figure that their coal is in the ground and that it will remain in a perfect state of preservation for an indefinite period. Their losses constitute mainly the loss in profits on their investments. They are not making money, yet they are living comfortably. With the miners it is different. Few miners ever practice the policy of saving for a rainy day. Their predicament is well expressed by a newspaper of the stricken area. It says, with soup kitchens for the starving in every big town, with bankruptcy sales a daily commonplace, with finance companies taking back thousands of used cars, with mortgages placed on homes won through years of indus- try, with hunger and privation in a hundred thousand homes, the effects of five months of illness are apparent. Even though the miners seem to have the heaviest end of the deal, they remain loyal to their organization and place tit seemsb too much trust in the high officials of the union, who, I dare say, do not share the hardships and privations with the average, common union man. Meanwhile, the consuming public which usually suffer.s the brunt of such a disturbance, is getting along splendidly. Strike suspensions, and high prices have exhausted the patience of the public until great numbers of people have ceased using anthracite altogether. When one source cf heat is uncertain, people will use oil, coke, gas, soft coal, or electricity which are more certain. Since tbecause of such disturbances! the public has become more independent than it was a few years ago, the situation is dwindling until it vitally concerns only the operator, the miner, and the hard coal country. Page 97 va 1926 ow Q, ,ia 2 Je. , . Lf ' L we 1926 Q1 r We QAQT HAG1 N IAN It is our duty as good citizens to study the question and figure out a solution, many of which are being advocated now. Many people think that the whole ques- tion should be submitted to a commission appointed by the president, to be com- posed of the wisest and best qualified men in the nation. These people think that a decision rendered by such a commission would necessarily be free from private interests. Another faction argues that a standing court of arbitration such as the Kansas Industrial Court would have prevented this great calamity, and point out that this strike should convince everyone that such a court should be established, while yet another group insist that the only feasible method is for the president to take the situation into his own hands and wield the Big Stick as Teddy Roosevelt did. Although many people firmly believe that congress should take action on the subject, it would take months for the proposed legislation to run through the course of committee deliberation, debate on the floor of congress, and possibly a test in the courts on the ground of constitutionality. Exactly the same situation is confronted when state legislation is looked to. There seems to be objections to every possible plan. Although the miners have returned to work, the settlement is only temporary. The great question still remains before us. I appeal to you as good Americans to familiarize yourselves with this, and similar problems, that you may be able, if the necessity presents itself, to deal with them, intelligently. ARMOR HILL nsfwwau What a man really learns, really knows, is never lostg the things he has learned are like a quiverful of bright sharp arrows, to which he can reach back, when he wants to send a missile straight to its mark, some noble day. He who knows how is the hero, the great man, the successful leader to-dayg he who knows how. Knowledge comes mainly from education, the schoolhouse on the hill is there to equip the young men and women coming down the pike-the old American pike. There he comes, the youth who some day shall be governor of Illinois, possibly only 20 or 10 or 2 years old now--but he's coming, coming sure, and he will surely be our governor some day-10 or 20 or 40 years from nowg take off your hat. And there comes the youth who 20 or 40 or 60 years from now will be our President, and there comes the lad who one of these days will walk into your house and up to your hearth and take away the dearest thing you have on earth, your darling daughter. Oh, wouldn't you like to meet him half way, out there in the distance and the dusk and the dark and tell him of some of the things he must meet and some of the things he can do to meet them right? Wouldn't you like to go up to him and say, Oh, my son, let me help you3 but you can't do ity you can't do that, you are help- lessg all you can do is to stand and wait and watch and pray. But is there no way to help? Thank God there is, and that is to give this youth educationg to tell him the things he ought to knowg to make him the man who knows howg by giving all men education, and all women toog and in this way-that is, by educating and informing and training all-you help your own.

T is and ever will be of invaluable importance to man, l care not what his race or breed, that he be under the jurisdictiction of a sound and just ruling power. Such a power has come to be known by the name of govern- ment. Without government a nation cannot survive. True, we can derive New Testament a moral code under no restraint or check, save that of conscience. Yet man is not mentally or morally strong enough to restrain his unquenchable passion for pleasure and gain, without the fear of a stronger earthly power than his own conscience. Since the long forgotten day when our first ancestors established in the dark, primeval forests the first faint beginnings of civilization, there have been innum- erable governments-some strong, some weak, some just, some oppressive-all had their faults and many had their virtues. It has been the general observation that those governments which are regulated by or directly dependent upon a fixed constitution are the most successt'ul, and by a constitution, I mean the fundamental, organic law and principle of the government of a people, set forth either in docu- mentary form or implied in institutions and customs. Of the nations governed constitutionally, the one which has contributed most to the perfection of this kind of government is the United States of America. ln a survey of the American constitution, three basic fundamental principles are disclosed: first, that all men are naturally equal before the law, second, that a people cannot be taxed or governed without their own consent, third, that they may delegate their power of self government to representatives chosen by themselves. The remote origin of these principles is difficult to trace. Some trace their beginnings in natural, others in revealed law, but, whatever their origin, it will be admitted, 1 think, that America's contribution to constitutional government lies in those principles. The Declaration of Independence declares that all men are created equal. This has always been accepted as good rhetoric, but for years its truth was belted by the practice of slavery. Year.s after the memorable document had aroused a. people to the sense of their own independence, the American government withstood a titanic, internal uprising and spent millions of dollars and sacrificed countless lives to maintain the indissoluble union of the states and the civil equality of its 2:31, egg ' If f, :yjjall ZQNQ from the citizens. That war free in a civil sense pronouncement was under the American sion, it means that but served to prove that the African slave was as sublimely as his white master, and the eternal truth of the Declaration's vindicated on a hundred battle fields. This equality of men constitution means more than freedom from economic oppres- all men, without regard to their persons or their possessions, Wi stand before the law upon a common footing of equality. While there are always exceptions in human institutions, generally speaking, all men are actually equal in their answerability to the law, all equally punishable for their offenses. Under other governments the barons and the overlords have been exempted from the opera- tions of the laws, but under ours, governors and even presidents have been made to bow before the expressed will of the people. As to the value of the second principle, namely, that a people cannot be taxed or governed without their own consent, it is priceless. The American people owe their independence and freedom to the fact that their sturdy ancestors would not submit to taxation without representation. The center of resistance was Bos- ton, where in 1765 the people were incited to enthusiastic and decisive action by the fiery eloquence of James Otis and Samuel Adams in reference to the Stamp Page 99 1926 IW ,111-....,..,,,,.,,..,...,.v.,-.,.- ,, .,.. .,,. . .,,,, , .,..M.V-...ri-.W--v-fn-'.,:-.gp.1.f .,.. ..W,..,.......W. , ,.,, .. , W sip ,N 1 ' ,,,. ight .. Act, and other obnoxious and unjust tax measures adopted by the British crown. The colonists had been governed and taxed from abroad, so long as the yoke did not gall too much they yielded in submission, rather than rebel. But when the arrogance of the North ministry became unbearable, our ancestors awakened to the consciousness that a people ought not to be taxed without their consent and that all just governments derive their powers from the consent of the governed. In vindication of those principles a great war was fought, and out of its carnage and its horror, there emerged a new nation whose mission it was to contribute to the science of government the fundamental truth that a people may not rightly be governed without their consent. Thus did our patient but unconquerable ancestors pave the way for the American constitution and for the realization of the American Idea, Liberty regulated by law. ' Important as these first principles may be, the third is of no less importance. Direct self small and of modern established administer selected by power in a government might have been practicable to a degree when we were a rural people, but it would have fallen down under the sheer weight numbers and the complexities of rural and urban life. It had to be as a living principle that this people in governing themselves, might that government through the medium of agents and representatives themselves for the purpose. As a nation we have vested our legislative senate of ninety six members and a house of four hundred thirty five Page 100 'QI members, our executive power, in the president and a number of lesser officials, and our judicial power, in a supreme court composed of nine justices and in other courts of inferior jurisdiction. Thus the government of over one hundred millions of people, while actually in the hands of all the people, has been committed by the populace into the hands of a few efficient administrators. This system provides for the voice in government which is so dear to every lover of freedom and is the final touch to the frame of successful constitutional government. It gives to every citizen the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Of all governments, that of the United States, despite its imperfections, is nearest to perfection. Its principles are basically sound, its foundations rest upon the granite of eternal truth. We are playing the role of an example to the nations of the earth, all eyes are fixed upon us, all governments look to us for guidance. As pioneer.s of success- ful constitutional government, we must lead the Way, the interest of th. narth's populace is centered on the American government, its success or failure. The prin- ciples I have outlined constitute the great gift of American genius to the .science of human government, it should be our earnest care that in our hands these priu- ciples shall not suffer through misapplication and that to our children we may hand down, bright and untarnished as a knightly shield, the fundamental basis of our government. In 1776 our forefathers fought to create a nation, in 1865 their grandsons fought to maintain that nation at the cost of priceless lives and precious blood. Today we are the greatest nation on the earth. Our honored past is secure in the pages of history, our future is fraught with dangers and responsibilities. We are the captains of our own destiny, the masters of our mighty fate. If in the dim ages yet to dawn some bold explorer, rediscovering this great continent, shall stand in awe and wonder at the evidences of splendor lying at his feet, how much greater must his admiration be, if he discover that our people gave to civilization its best assurances of perpetuity in the form of these principles of human government. Truth never dies. Our nation may perish, its cities may be covered with the dust and mold of ages, as are the forgotten cities of the Asiatic plains, but these truths, eternal in their verity, will survive as long as human government itself. O Thou, Creator and Destroyer of mighty nations, make us secure in the hope that our nation shall not die, that on the foundations so securely laid we may build ever higher, ever nobler, until at last there shall be realized the universal brotherhood of man under the beneficent fatherhood of Almighty God! 1926 ' a IQ' ff Deke, also, strength is born, Ufna' efuerjy game cz manfy 'birfue .yz'e!a'.s'. uifgiviiies uf c71'fvifzku' QF?

This is the four- teenth year the business population of Carthage has materially aided in financing the yearbook of C. H. S. Each of these years has witnessed ence selling advertisingg each year the response to this effort has been gratifying to the Carthaginian Staff. At the present time the Staff depends on the sale of advertising for approximately one-fourth of the total cost of the annual. Not that publishing the annual would be impossible were it not for the adver- tising fundg the students of Carthage High School furnish the remaining three- fourths of the cost and, if necessary, could assume the entire financial burden. But, we fully realize that the support of the advertisers makes financing the Carthaginian much less burdensome to the school. K u E3 1 ll f . . . . V ., 3 the annual campaign of successive advertising managers getting experi- fl .J I It is, therefore, in a spirit of appreciation that the 1926 Carthaginian is dedicated to the men and women in business, industry, and profession, who con- tribute to its support. We appreciate also that no mere spirit of loyalty to the school prompts this response. We know that our adverti.sers recognize in C. H. S. a community asset-an institution whose output is more valuable than that of any other-its product being the well trained, well equipped graduate who will predominate in the citizenship of tomorrow. We know also that they realize that the Carthagian, the yearbook of Carthage High School, which contains this adver- tising of Carthage business and industry is, in itself, a very effective advertisement of Carthage as a community-the community which possesses such a splendid high school as the shining crown of a splendid school system. Since the first Carthagian was published in 1913, high school publications have attained a permanent place in journalism and the Carthaginian has achieved high rank among school annuals. This is the fourteenth volume of the Carthagiian. The staff, larger and more competent than ever, has introduced new and progressive features in this edition. The foremost purpose of the 1926 Staff is to build an annual picturing in the most distinctive and comprehensive manner possible, one year of student lifte in C. H, S., the high school of whose achievements and spirit we are proud-a high school which owes its superiority to the community which stands by it so loyally. X The Carthaginian is 1925 became a member of the M. I. P. A. and the C. I. P. A., two inter-scholastic press associations whose in- ' ' signia appear on this page. The Carthaginian of that year, Victor mxfmwhwm Wallace, editor, ranked high in the contest sponsered by these as- sociations. In the M. I. P. A. contest which is under the auspices of the School of Journalism at the University of Missouri, the Carthaginian was awarded the fol- lowing honors: Best Annual in Class B thigh schools with 500-900 studentslfg Best Annual selling for not more than a dollar 1500-900 copiesjg and Honorable Mention for the best advertising section in an annual. It was also given First Class rating in the fifth All-American yearbook contest of the C. I. P. A. in which 418 annuals were entered from schools over the entire country. The Carthaginian had a score of 947 out of a possible 1,000 points.

ACH year greater interest is being taken in debating and other forms of Sjhvkf? public speaking. Our own High School is rapidly coming to the front in this line of work. From the six contestants for the debating team, John ' Schlecht and Edwin A. Hough were chosen to represent the high school in the State Debating League. John Schlecht is a member of the Clay Club and has been on the team for three years. Edwin Hough is a member of the Forum Debating Club, and while this is his first year on the team, he has always been very active in both oratory and debate. Raymond Tomlinson and Robert Harris, both of the Webstei' Club, were chosen as alternates. The question for debate this year is: Resolved, That the Amendment to the United States Constitution Enabling Congress to Regulate Child Labor Should be Ratified by the Several States. The first debate was held in our auditorium the afternoon of January 8, with Aurora. The decision was two-to-one in favor of Carthage. Our team upheld the negative side of the question. On January 22, our team again upheld the negative side and won a unanimous decision over the Monett team. This made C. H. S, the winner in the Carthage-Aurora-Monett group. The next debate was held in our auditorium on the afternoon of February 15, with Joplin, the winner of the Joplin-Neosho-Seneca group. This time Carthage upheld the affimative side of the question and again received the unanimous decision of the judges. On the afternoon of February 26, our team, still upholding the affirmative side of the question, won a unanimous decision over two young men from Nevada. x March 15, was the day our team met the Clinton team at Clintong C. H. S. Won by a two-to-one decision. The next opponent of C. H. S. was the Lebanon team. This being the debate for the championship of the Southwest Missouri District, great interest was shown throughout the district. Following the custom of the past few years, this debate was held in the auditorium of the Southwest Teachers College, at Springfield, on March 27. This debate was generally conceded by those present to be the best high school debate ever held in the college. The decision was very close, while Lebanon won the Championship of the district, our team Won much praise from those present by their excellent delivery and the able manner in which they handled the affirmative side of the question, and did great honor to themselves and the local high school. The efficient coaching of Miss Peiffer, history teacher and debating coach for the last two years was a decided factor in Carthage's success in debate this year.

H. S. nas one of the most successful in years gone by, and years to come. The ulpllgfllrnsl season passed by without a defeat and with no tie games. The credit for this wonderful year goes to Coach Byers and the boys of the team 'A who started the year with the grim determination to win the championship. And fighting hard and clean and with wonderful spirit, our team not only finished with the championship but with a clean record. - Practice started the last week in August with a training camp at Camp Cool- brook. Thirty boys spent the week in fundamental drill and conditioning for Our first game was with Lamar. The game was hard fought from start to the regular season. This was not only the first football training camp for C. H. S., but the first in this district. The week spent at camp meant much to the team, and the boys came back with a bigger outlook on life. Thanks to the inspirational and wonderful leadership of Mr. Frank Liddle, Coach Byers, Jimmie Gibbons and Mr. Zoll. The season was to have opened September 25, playing Baxter Springs there, but the accidental death of one of their students cau.sed the game to be cancelled. however, sent our deepest regret and sorrow because of the death of their We, fellow student. finish, with both teams playing in mid-season form at times. Carthage, however, proved to be the superior in both defense and offense, and with a hard driving team, playing with the fighting spirit, which they showed throughout the year, came out of the fray with a 12-0 victory. The following week, Springfield furnished the opposition at Cochran field. The Bulldogs were the only team to defeat us the previous year, and our boys were determined to avenge the defeat. The blue and white, lead by Captain Kirby, unleashed an attack that would not and could not be deniedg and regardless of the fact that the Bulldogs fought every inch of the way, C. H. S. Won by a 35-13 score. Monett was our next hurdle, and on October 16, we went to the railroad town with a. record of two victories and no defeats. The game was played in a torrent of rain and a sea of mud, with neither team able to play their best. Carthage emerged from the murk with a 2-0 Victory, the two points being secured when Harbour tackled a Monett man behind his goal line for a safety. - October 23, will go d-own in the annals of C. H. S. as the day of days for it was the day We took our old enemy, Joplin, into camp to the tune of 37-0, the worst defeat ever administered to Joplin by a Carthage team. At the very beginning of the contest, the Carthage eleven opened up a terrific attack, battering and ripping their Joplin rivals into thin shreds, and scored a total of 23 points during the first quarter. To every man goes the lion's share of the victoryg our line held like a stone wall against our opponents thrusts, and the backfield men performed like college stars, both in forming the interference and carrying the ball. Captain Kirby and his educated toe had a perfect day, averaging 36 yards on his punts and making every try for the extra point. The week following, the 'Blue and White turned in their fifth consecutive victory with a win over Greenfield in one of the hardest fought games of the year. The victory was a sweet one for the C. H. S. team, as Greenfield held us to a scoreless tie at Greenfield last year. Both teams fought hard, but the Greenfield defense cracked at crucial times, while the Blue and White held like a stone wall, and their offense gained when necessary. November 6: Webb City, rain and mud. Our boys played good football but the mud held them from doing their best. The score at the end of the first half was 0-0. The last half was much different because Carthage played more like the team they were, both defenseively and offensively: and the Blue and White piled up a score of 18-0. Our sixth straight victory. On Armistice day, the Blue and White journeyed to Neosho to do battle with the Newton county lads. Carthage with a clean slate and Neosho with one defeat, a victory for C. H. S. practically meant the championship, while a victory for Neosho meant first place for them. The game was replete with thrills. Hardly had the opening whistle sounded before Neosho started a march which was not stopped until the Wildcat had dug his claws deep into Carthage territory, and here the Blue and White showed its real mettle and forced a drop kick which went wide. Taking the ball on our own 20 yard line, C. H. S. started one of the prettiest drives of the year, straight for the Wildcat goal, and was not headed until Captain Page 120 Q4Jl 1926 new 1' 1 AN fbotball Games-Continuea' Kirby had scored a touchdown. 'Again in the second quarter, the Blue and White put across another touchdown: and in the fourth, a safety concluded our scoring for the day. The Newton county lads scored in the third quarter for their only counter, and this ended a. hard driving game that was close enough to be interesting all the way. Carthage won the championship when they defeated Nevada at Nevada by a score of 12-0. The game was hard fought from start to finish, and Carthage had a. difficult time in scoring against the Nevada Huskies On Thanksgiving day we played our last game of the season against Webb City. We beat the Red and White by a score of 39-3. Captain Kirby, Hedge, Terry, Harbour, Bridges, Richardson, Reid, Baker, Powell, Elting and King played their last game for C. H. S. and finished in fine style. So ended another championship year with nine games won and none lost. To pick the star or stars of this C. H. S. team, one must include every Blue and White player, from Captain Kirby down to Little Mase our smallest sub, for every man played with his head up and his heart in the game, not as one man, but eleven, each with a part to do.

After ?'w+ . -Q two weeks drill on fundamentals, fifteen men were picked to represent 'J C. H. S. for the season of 1925-26. Of this number only four were lettermcn and Captain Kirby the only regular. Around these men was built a team which won third place in the Southwest Missouri Inter-High School The season opened December 18, at Carterville, with both teams playing good early season ball. Carthage won the tilt 16-10, but lost the return game at Carthage after an extra period was allowed to play off a tie. Following this game came Cockerill, Kansas. The game was hard fought but Carthage showed their superior training and defeated them ea.sily 43-28. The Houn' Dog from Aurora next claimed our attention, and C. H, S. had no trouble in sending the Houn' Dogs home well-whipped. The return game was played at Aurora just one month later with the Blue and White again winning although having to overcome an eight point lead. On January 15, the Blue and White journeyed to Webb City to meet the Red and White. Although our opponents fought hard and gave their best efforts to win, Carthage had no trouble in winning. The Red and White paid a visit to C. H. S.: we again repeated, and Webb City dropped another hard fought game to Carthage. The thrill of the year was given our fans on January 29, when our old rival Joplin faced us on the YU court. The game was a battle from start to finish, with the ,score tied 6 all at the end of the first quarter and 12-10 at the end of the half in favor of Carthage. The lead was short lived as Joplin soon pulled away for a six point lead, which C. H. S. overcame to win the game in an extra period 21-22. The return game was played the following week at Joplin--a game hard fought from beginning to end. Joplin had the lead 17-10 when the final whistle blew. Two of the hardest games came with Jasper, and C. H. S. was forced to play its best to win. The Jasper boys seemed never to give upg and although we won both games, we felt like we had earned them. On January 22, we played at Springfield against the chmpions of Southwest Missouri, without the services of two of our regulars. Although we scored more points against them than any team in the league, the Bull Dogs won. The return game was played here February 13 with Springfield winning 21-19, but they were forced to their limit to do so. The score was tied five times during the game with C. H. S. holding a one point lead at the end of the half. From the spectators standpoint this was one of the best games ever played on the Y court. The last home game was played with the Wildcats from Neosho. Carthage had no difficulty in winning 34-18. The Neosho boys seemed to lack punch and were unable to score until the last of the game. On February 26-27 the Blue and White took part in the Class A High School Tournament held at Joplin. Carthage won third place, defeating Aurora, Webb City, and Monett and losing to Joplin and Springfield. mf HC Men and Hou' they Scored IQ?

Team - 7- HE girls opened practice for their long campaign about November 1, with sixty girls reporting. The first three weeks were given over to fundamental QQ' drill, every member of the squad being given ample chance to make good. Following the preliminary drill, Coach Margaret Putman picked a squad ' of twenty girls from which to pick the team which was to represent C. H. S. for the year. The squad was made up of some very promising new material along with Captain Earl, McBain, McVey, Harris and Craig, letter girls from last year's team. December 18. The basketball season was officially opened with Carterville, at Carterville. The game was hard fought on both sidesg but we proved too strong for our opponents, winning 29-16. The night of December 23, found us playing the Aurora Houn' Dogs on the Y. M. C. A. court. The much-touted Hound Dogs proved to be one of the easiest teams of the season. The Blue and White showed much improvement over the week before and showed that they would be a good scoring combination, winning by a score of 36-3. January 8. On our home court we played Cockerill, Kansas, Champions of the Tri-State District. The first half of the game we held our opponents to a close score but weakened the last half. The Cockerill team was the fastest girls' team ever seen on the local court. On January 15, we journeyed to Webb City to do battle with the Red and White and played one of our good games of the season. Getting away to a poor start and trailing at the end of the half with a 17-11 count, we returned in the third quarter and staged a comeback which tied the score 22 all and again at the end of the quarter at 27 all only to lose the advantage gained by this rally in the final minute of the play. The following Tuesday the Blue and White of Carterville played the Blue and White of C. H. S., the return game which we won by a .score of 37-19. The Carterville lassies made only 3 points during the first half while we scored almost at will. January 23 we invaded Aurora and played the Aurora girls in the gym of their high school. After the long tiresome trip, we pepped up and came through to win. Aurora put up a good fightg but our guards were too strong for their forwards and another victory was added for C. H. S. January 29. A week of hard practice following the Aurora game put our girls into fine condition to meet the Red and Green. In the first quarter the Blue and White scored heavily, holding a good lead at the end of the first stanza. During the second quarter Joplin began to raise her score until at the end of the half it stood 15 to 18 in favor of Carthage. From the begining of the last half until the finish of the game was a see-saw affair with the score being tied twice and both teams fighting for the advantage, but when the whistle blew the score stood 32-30 in favor of C. H. S., and thus ended the biggest game of the year. February 2. Our next game was a return game with Joplin at Joplin. In the first half our girls played their best, the score at the end of the half being 18 to 12 in favor of Joplin. In the last half Joplin took the lead and won 18-24, and so ended another great game. ,February 5. Webb City girls played a return game with us on our home court. The first half of the game was fast and exciting. The count at the end of the half stood 15-14 in favor of C. H. S., with Blue and White leading all the way. The opening of the second half found the Red and White at their best and they scored 20 points to our 13, giving them a well earned victory. February 9. We journeyed to .Jasper and won a well deserved victory. We took the lead from the start and held it all the way, winning bya point margin. Another victory for C. H. S. February 13. A team of women faculty members of Carthage High played the Blue and White Girls' team. The game was well worth seeing, with Misses Margaret Putman, coach of the high school girls' team, Murto, Bailey, McCracken, Love and Slelghts playing. The faculty put up a great game, but were defeated by their proteges. The following week we entertained Jasper on the Y court, Winning the re- turn game in an easy manner. Coach Putman used all of her second team in this game, and they made a creditable showing. February 26-27 the Class A Tournament was held at Joplin. Playing hard for first place, we were defeated and were awarded third place. 1 March 5. On this date was played the last game of the season with Neosho, the champions of Southwest Missouri. The opposing team proved too strong for our girls: we lost a hard fought game to a fast, hard-fighting team.

This year the Aristonian Literary Society was given the privilege of arranging the Thanksgiving program. The Aristonian, with the cooperation of all other clubs and societies in the school presented a very good program. A prologue by Dorothy Trowbridge and Pauline Thompson came first. Aris- tonian gave thanks for the Spirit of C. H. S., with Frances Trowbridge as the spirit, Gladys Beck as C , Merle Peck as HH , and Thelma Stahl as S , Altrurian gave thanks for the faculty, and each member of the faculty was presented a rose by Marguerite Knight. Miss Pratt responded for the faculty with a very clever orignal poem. The Webster Club gave thanks for our unusually bright Freshmen, intro- ducing a new scientific machine that turns out perfect Seniors. The Forum gave thanks for our many and varied activities. This part was in the form of a trial in which Activities was victorious. The Booster Club gave thanks for our Athletic victories. Miss Ernestine Lukens, representing Victory, sang a solo and then crowned the mascot, Guffy with the laurel. The French Club gave thanks for the industries of Carthage and the loyal support given the school by outsiders. A one act play given by the Olympians showed how thankful we should be for our homes. Clay Club displayed our thankfulness for the school board. The Spanish Club gave thanks for the Church, and the program ended with thanks for the prosperity of our wonderful Ozarks by the Athenian Literary Society. The Aristonian Literary Society is very grateful to all the other organizations for the splendid cooperation accorded it by them in presenting a successful Thanks- giving program. Altrurzdn Gfzarzbf Tidy On December 11, 1925, the Altrurian Literary Society gave a two act play, Behind the Scenes for the purpose of raising funds to be used for charity work at Christmas time. The proceeds amounted to about one hundred dollars. The play was directed by Miss Susan McCoy, adviser of the society, and the success of the presentation was largely due to her efforts. The cast was as follows: Beryl Kennison.. Nancy Harraden.. Phyllis Moore ...... Virginia Calhoun Lucille Vernon .... Miranda Simpson ...... Aileen Aldrich .......... Daisy Kennison ........ .......

Our team made an average score of 93.7 out of a possible 100. The three students constituting the C. H. S. team were Lee LeMasters, Carrol Corder and Ula Heisten. A11 of these reside northeast and east of Carthage, but attend the High School. .This is the second year in succession. that the Carthage team has won the Guinn silver cup which is the goal in these team contests. If they should win it next year, it would become the permanent property of the Carthage school. Also, Lee LeMasters made the highest individual score of any student entering the corn judging contest. This entitled him to the silver medal offered for the highest individual score among high school students. Page 136 wi i IQ26 vw 2143!

Xrmor Hill The large Chorus:-s, consisting of some fifty members of the Choral and Glee Clubs, gave their best efforts toward the success ot' the production. College Days, a romance of American college life, features Dave Carson as the hero of Brinkdale College. As the play opens, he is receiving the applause and congratulations ot' the Brinkdale men and the coeds for having won for them the baseball game against Fairview. When the enthusiasm has died away Davy seeks out Dot, I'rexy's daughter, with whom he is in love. They come to an under- standing. The villian of the play, who loves Dot too, plots with a local pool room proprietor to have Davy accused of framing to throw a local game, which is yet to be played with Fairview. In Act II the villainous DeForest succeeds in driving Davy from college in disgrace. Act Ill takes place two years later, allowing for the World War, in which Davy engages, and DeForest, the villain, just before he goes west, tells a Brink- dale man of the plot that disgraced Davy. Tubby, who receives this dying confession, writes it to his sweetheart, Dot's chum. A telegram is sent, stating that he and Davy, a hero once more, will arrive in Brinkdale the next day. Prexy proclaims a holiday in their honor, and Dot begs Davy's forgivness for her lack of faith.

A few of the members are grade school boys and two are men The youngest member, Carl Payne, is only nine years of age. The band was organized in September of 1925 under the leadership of Glenn Jeffries, its present director. During the first few months of the band's existence it. was known as the Carthage Boys' Band, but later til6 name was changed to Jeffries' Concert Band. Several public appearances have been made. The band has played for several different organizations on special occassions, and three concerts were given at the Crane Theater during the month of January. Although the band has only about twenty members at present, several addi- tions are expected in the near future. With two rehearsals each week, the band is making steady progress and it is expected that it will become one of the best juvenile bands in this district. Royle Hansford.. Earle Kent ..........

Debate, oration, and the extemporaneous speech were featured in the con- tests. A committee composed of representatives from the several clubs governed the rules of the contest series and formulated a system of grading whereby the Winning club might be determined. February 24. In the Forum-Webster debate Carl Jenkins and Franklin Furby, of the Forum, upheld the affirmative, and George Rohm and Frank Nickell, of the Webster, upheld the negative side of the World Court question. The Webster Won by a two-to-one decision. March 10. The entries in the oratorical contest were limited to two members from each club.. The judges gave the following ranking: Armor Hill, Clay, first, Raymond Tomlinson, Webster, secondg John Flanigan, Clay, third. March 24. Flames Logan and Harold Cordonnier representing the Forum, debated the question of the adoption of Colonel Mitchell's Air Proposal against Charles Rohde and Allen McReyno1d.s, representing the Clay. Clay Club won a two-to-one decision over the Forum. March 31. Extemporaneous speaking contest was perhaps the most interesting of all. The two entries of each club drew for subjects shortly before the time for speaking. The winners in this contest were: Herbert Van Fleet, Forum, first: Mar- vin Hill, Forum, secondg Edward Gerkey, Webster, third. April 7. The Clay-Webster contest was the concluding contest. The Webster team consisting of Walter Lee Colley and Robert Harris, won a unanimous decision over the Clay team of J. T. Wallace and James Blankinship. The Webster Debating Club won the series. Judges for the several contests were selected for the most part, from the faculty. It is planned to continue this series of contests each year.

Become gf tfze S6z'e,Qs and qlappers? fWith apologies to Scott Fitzgerald and Wifel We writers who write for the love of writing rather than the returns from such, often find ourselves discussing topics that the more discreet fear even to think. But you all know the old adage about fools rushing in Where angels fear to tread. On every hand we see our Sheiks or Jelly-beans . From the top of their slick, sticky, shiny heads to the toes of their broged feet they spell conceit. Their pants are distinctly the swagger type. Some of them are as dumb as they look, others are dumber. They started stepping on the gas at six-and they're still stepping. They got thru the elementary school-somehow. The major- ity get thru High School or maybe they persuade Dad to send them to a military academy or prep school. In time they manage to get to college. After two or three or possibly four years at Wale or Garvard they're home. College men-the adoration of every poor silly little flapper. Their summers have been spent in riding around, possibly golfing some-or maybe one or two worked just for the novelty of it. Any- way we'll look into the magic mirror of the future for the answer to the question. Twenty years hence in high places and offices. Yes, despite the knowledge the profs. tried to cram into them, somehow they were able to take Dad's place down at the office-they're councilmen, they're mayor-they're the chamber of commerce-Yes, the same little sheiks of the Oxford bags -and they are the this generation Who are looking with disapprovel on the antics of their kid brothers who can still remember when Dad thought their oldest brother was going to disgrace the family name. And the flappers? Those little girls who painted and actually used lipstick and rolled their socks. They played around with the sheiks from the eighth grade up. They flirted their way thru High School and sailed off to college or finishing school in an airplane. Some of them stayed till they were finished others came home just as they were- Well, the professors had done they're duty-they tried to teach them. And now shall we forget them for a year or two, also. And why, look here? Sally Jones is working on the staff of the New York Sun-she actually did learn something at that school of journalism. And there's Mary Smith, goodness, she's private secretary to the president of the United Steel Corporation. Any number are teaching school. And the rest-why they're just married-yes, they married those dreadful boys that were called Sheiks so long ago. And together they're wondering what the coming generation is coming to?

Carthage is but the reflections of the minds and souls of the individuals composing it, and of necessity has the personality of the different types and temper- aments of these people. This being true, Carthage must be controlled by that immutable law of nature which says that for any living thing to endure it must grow, multiply and ex- pand, or the species perishes. Our struggle for an increase in population is not for the mere pride of seeing how many people can be assembled in a given spot, nor how great an amount of wealth can be amassed in one place. It is your city, a living, breathing thing, simply responding to this law of nature, it must either forge to the front or die of sragnation and become ' 'The Deserted Village Surely, then, the one organization in your com- munity which devotes its entire time and energy to this end and purpose has justified its existence to a point where it is no longer a debatable question.

Cathran: Yes, and there's also a lot of old stuff pulled off under the moon Pioneers oftheCQuarrying Industry:u:Carthage 42 Years ol' Continuous g X. From 1884 until Service 1926 In 1884 a group of men with faith and vision risked their money and put in their time and energy to start the development of the Marble industry of Carthage. The chances they took and the trials they had are not generally appreciated nor real- ized. Some years things went well and dividends were paid, and other years assessment.: were made and paid by these men who had faith in a good product, the vision to see aheam., and the courage to risk their money in developing it. The aim they always had in mind was to furnish good stock and prompt service, at a reasonable price-and this is still their aim. Forty-two years of continuous operation, without change of name, is a record we are justly proud of, and this record and these purposes are being maintained by The Company at the present time. If the product we produce did not have merit, and if' services rendered were not satis- factory, all of the money, time and energy put into the development of our quarrying, saw- ing and finishing facilities, for both exterior and interior work, would have been futile. Our present facilities for production and finishing are better than ever in the history of the Company. Carthage Marble 81 White Lime Company l GEORGE S.

Phone 4613 lfrom the llliterate Digest The thoughts ol' youth are long, long thoughts. Yes: they are not only long, but they are colored too. When I was a small, small child and wanted to have very, very happy thoughts, I always imagined they were orange. Glowing, glorious orange thoughts with a splash of red through them just to make me smile e Oh, it was wonderful to have orange and red thoughts. Maybe you wonder what they were about? Sometimes they were just a little girl with flying hair and roses in her hand: some times they were music that made me want to singg but always, a.lways they were orange with some red spilled in. But, now I never have orange thoughtsg they are always gray-just gray, quiet, and never noisy. And gray thoughts are so much nicer than orange thoughts: they rome slipping in on tiptoe just when l think it is quite impossible to remember the answer to that third question and when I can't think what to say next. These lovely gray thoughts are warm and they snuggle down so cozily in one side of the hrain and never, never run away. Then, sometimes they come again at night and help me to go asleep by singing little lullabies to my brain. They are really the nicest thoughts of all. Ah, itfs nice to have gay, orange thoughts, but it's so much more pleasant to have matter-of-fact gray ones. ,- onsoliclatecl marble ancl A -I' Stone Companq Blocks, Cut Stone, sawed Sl0Ck, Producers gf Polished lDork, Planed war, Tile Seneca mdrb es this Il101'Hi1'lg?H Allene: Oh, just one of the F1'esh111en falling as 5 Jmnmwrnaalalaa 5' 6601516 F906 crm? 21 MEHHEQHW ' Cc-smftrall fa d Gra il' Plhlcm ce 239 STANLEYDTIFFHQMAS LUM ER CQMPANY ILTUTMJBSJESR QQQQMLFJANY gif: E The est inn Illllflufd-liifllg Maikerfizzll E Ccwmcer SMH ind!
