CAMPBELL Superintendent of Schools Carthage, Missouri The traditions of our republic and its ideals are, in a very large measure, intrusted to those loyal men and women included in the teaching profession. Our public schools are founded on a spirit of democracy which finds expression in universal education. The teacher believes in the educational program of the public school, and is constantly striving to stimulate ambition and train character. The responsibility of teaching is assuming greater pro- portions and the teacher of today must possess a wealth of charac- ter, tact and patience to meet the increased complexities of our na- tional life. The teacher dedicates his life to the training of mind and char- acter, and adopting this program, our public schools move forward developing ideals, imparting new knowledge and training the youth in citizenship.

This group, including Supt. J. M. White, Principal W. C. Barnes and Marian Glenn, librarian, numbers eleven-eight teachers. These, named in the order of service, then, are Loula Van Neman, Esther Pratt, Ora Cupp- The Old Guard -Lotta Putnam, Lida Perry, Louise Brayton, Martha Scott and Charles Arnold. Of the eight teachers, six are still teaching: Miss Van Neman in Kansas City, Miss Cupp and Miss Putnam in California, Miss Brayton in Newark N. J., Miss Scott in Philadelphia. Miss Pratt is still head of the English department in C. H. S., round- ing out, next year, her record of 35 years in C. H. S.

RICE Principal High School Carthage, Mo. In the language of Daniel Webster, If We Work upon marble it will perish: if we work upon brass time will efface itg if we rear temples they will crumble into dusty but if We work upon immortal minds, if We imbue them with principles, with the just fear of God and love of our fellow-men, we engrave on those tablets something which will brighten to all eternity. The facts of science, history, and mathematics are valuable and important. They have intrinsic value. But they are not as valuable and important as right and quality of work done. If the years spent in high to think a little more clearly, to a little more, and to be a happier and more useful individual, they have been worth while. PROF. W.

' Theodate Wyatt CLASS OF 1931 On September 6, 1927, one hundred seventy-nine members of the class of '31 en- tered the corridors of the Carthage High School, and were often misguided and trick- ed by our natural enemy, the sophomores. Only a few weeks had passed until We had adjusted ourselves to the routine of our new home and had organized our class. We showed excellent judgment in electing Carl Jackson, president of our class. Blue and silver were selected as our class colors and the blue iris, as our class flower. The second year of our journey found us rather overconfident of our prowess which is a habit Sophomores have. We now felt very much justified in playing new and old tricks on the green Freshiesf' Collectively, although we worked hard, We still could not equal the upper classmen in honors in some of the class loyalty races. Individually, we managed to gain some honors in all activities. We again had as our leader, Carl Jackson, who proved that he was capable of filling the position. Our Junior year, feeling the responsibility of the upper classmen, we climbed steadily toward our coveted goal-graduation. More and more we felt our unity, and at the same time we were becoming prominent, integral parts of C. H. S. activities and organizations. Our athletes, our musicians, our debaters, stepped into the lime- light as the leaders in their respective fields. At the close of the year we demon- strated our ability to cooperate by giving the class of '30 a rousing reception, a send- off on the various highways which lead from high school. 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, in the publication of the Campus Bugle and all other forms of school activity. This year we again chose Carl Jackson as president for the fourth consecutive year, and he is indeed worthy to head this distinguished class. We have a good reputation, and under our motto, The Door of Success is Labeled 'Push', we hope to attain greater fame. Twenty iN I .fl 52? .. W-iii. 1 ..

Deatherage I give you a name that Woos the heart With the romance that valorous deeds impart- Oflbeautiful girls and strong young men, Who prove its traditions again and again- A high born name of ancient line That shines through the years like a holy shrine Of solemn beauty and spiritual lightg A name like a beacon, resplendently bright- Thc name of Carthage High. I give you a name that charms the mind, Like an old, old story rich in the kind Of primeful things that Youth loves best: Of flowers-and vows-and the passionate quest For high estates beyond the ken Of those without a heart to win. Of Greek and Afric in equal part- 'Tis a name that sprang from the urn of art- The name of Carthage High. I give you a name that holds the eye, Gleaming aloft o'er the shouting throngg A name that rings like a battle-cry- A Or softly croons in the low, sweet song That dreamy, wistful Memory sings. 'Tis a name we love like a sacred scroll, Sealed and bound with our own heart strings 3 To us its theme will never grow old So long as fond recollection brings The name of Carthage High. 0 00 C. H.

For the past two years, members of our class have taken leading parts in all student activities. Gale Earp will lead our boys to victory on the gridiron next year. We are not only represented by lettermen in football but in basketball as Well. Mem- bers of the class of '32, have contributed materially to the excellence of the Car- thaginiann and Campus Bugle. Our scholastic standing as a class has been uni- formly high. Keeping the old tradition, we entertained the seniors in the form of the Junior- Senior reception. Our part in making this and the preceding years a success scholas- tically, athletically, and socially has been an important one.

Mary Isabel Hill Colors: Scarlet and Gold Motto: In Union There Is Strength SOPHOMORE CLASS NOTES September, 1929, was the date of our entrance into Carthage High school. In our Freshman year we learned to do our work competently and finally succeeded in losing our original greenish hue. When we became Sophomores we were safely wrapped in the folds of the school and we felt privileged to initiate the Freshmen into the mysteries of C. H. S. How- ever, we have done our share in boosting all forms of school life, taking part in all athletics, clubs, and literary activities. The standards of scholarship have not suffered in the hands of the class of '33, for a large number of our students were in the very high grade class. We hope that the years to come will hold as many successes and pleasures as this one, and that our achievements may be even more outstanding in the future. wr, A A Q XM xfaf.

CLASS NOTES We, the meek and lowly Freshmen, entered Carthage High School last Septem- ber. At first we were a little timid and dazed, but after the warm reception the upper classmen gave us QU we felt as though we had been in C. H. S. as long as they. The would-be brilliance of the seniors staggered us, but we soon became accustomed to that. When we buckled down to workg we really did things right. Not only did we make a good record in grades, but we also had representatives in athletics and all the social activities of the high school. We are looking forward to the remaining years of our high school career with the greatest anticipation. We have endeavored to do a good year's work, for- Well begun is half done.

' ' L'ENVOl At my desk, at eventide, I sit in this quiet room from which the full tide of youthful life has ebbed for another day. It is, indeed, by contrast, a quiet room, but it is crowded with memories and associations. For twenty-five school years-a quarter of a century -this room has been my domain, where I have been privileged to live- with youth, through the four years when habits are moulded into character, when life is quickened and touched to all the issues of life. Here, daily, this living tide has risen and flooded these rooms, these halls, and stairways, and ebbcd and risen again- fluid, ever-changing, and, annually, bearing out into the sea of life its fleet of youth. ' Many times, in Carthage, had this fleet been launch- ed-the tale of graduation and commencement told-ere the count began from The New High School. Prior to 1398 1906, twenty-seven classes, approximately 755 graduates had sailed from this harbor. During the twenty-five years since then, and including the class of 1931, whose passing will soon be history, twenty-six classes, including some 2,055 youths and maidens, have gone out from this school, elate with youthful ardor, seeing on far horizons their visioned future. And we must add to this number, perhaps, another thousand who sojourned here for a time, or who are yet to join the others. And so, this quiet room for me is thronged with memories, kaleidoscopic-ever- changing in combinations and association. This year is the Silver anniversary of the transition from the old school home to the new, and the memories of the first group to occupy this room, as a section, are vivid across the lapse of years. There were but 26-The Class of 1906 -with their newly elected president, Raymond Leggett, Mills Anderson-Methodist minister now-vice president, secretary, Frank Williams-merchant, and Fay Emery, Deaconess now in Kansas. The colors of the class, rose color and white, were displayed in hat- band and streaming ribbons and in a beautiful banner, made in record time-six hours -by fair hands of the girls of the class, to adorn the wall of this room on dedication night. Mingling in memory with them are the Juniors-in the room across the hall, fifty-two, with Miss Cupp as mentor. Their president, Harry Milton, their colors, purple and gold. Among those present were John Flanigan, their orator, Carroll Faust-now a famous scientist, Merle Stuckey-corporation manager now in South America, Gladys Callaway, who married John, Walter Stickney, a persistent bachelor, and many, many others, most of them far from the scenes of youth. And with these thronging memories, are others associated with the final reali- zation of hope, long deferred, when we actually moved into our new building, in February, 1906. The prelude was the Citizen's Dedication, February 21, the next day the Chil- dren's jubilee-two programs and inspection by the elementary schools. That night, February 22, was the great occasion-The High school students' own program and reception for parents and friends. On the program among others, were John, the orator, Raymond, president, Bessie Platt, fWilliamsJ, Helen Lang fRogersJ. The next day was moving day and then High School life began anew. Some 270 students and a faculty of eight teachers! About half the rooms were occupied. How Sixty one .V...... .,. ' - . , . ,, . ' ,. , -- is, U ll we have expanded! A student body of more than 600, a faculty near thirty, as de- partments have been added, until now there is again the agitation for a New High School. Then, came innovations in student life that became precedents for the future: the Roach medal contest in oratory, convocations, fire drills-without fire escapes, the first class play, Men, Maids and Watchmakersf' and crowning glory, graduation from our own auditorium. And so these thronging memories are a kaleidoscopic procession, through the years from yesterdays of long ago. Hundreds of these whose memories linger here, are honored citizens of Carthage and its environs. Many others are in near or distant places- Our lines are gone out through all the earth. Many of the children of these earlier graduates of twenty-five years-the second generation have graduated here-and their faces mingle in these memories-the Wal- laces, Wrights and Flanigans, the Williams, Logans and Caffees, the Carters, Cupps and Durhams, and many, many others who claim the same Alma Mater. Again, as the long procession passes in review, come the boys in khaki-there were 140 of them who served their country in the hectic days of the Great War-some, alas, to the last full measure of devotion. And five came back to graduate. Sometimes, remembered faces blend with others, older grown, who have returned to the scenes frequented by their feet when they were young and life was fresh and sweet. Often they come, from every part of our own country and from every quar- ter of the globe-Alaska, China, Japan-a few days ago, two of the class of 1914 were here, on vacation, from Sumatra. And always, there is the same wistful re- membrance of the old school-of some of the happiest days of my life. And always, there is an almost pa- thetic joy that they are remembered where so many things are changed. Other pleasant memories are here of home-coming occasions, when groups-usually young men-lingered to talk with each other in the old room in their old seats, with their old teacher at her old desk. And as they talked, I saw reflected in their eyes, the thoughts and feelings too deep for words. But the dusk deepens, and I leave this shadowed room, but not its memories and associations. They are mine, wrought into my life, and they go with me where- ever my path may trend. And always, when achievement or honor is linked with the names of graduates or stu- dents of C. H. S.- The teacher shall assert her claims And proudly whisper, 'These were mine'. 1930 -ESTHER PRATT. f 212: l ,,-ro, :,-l dumu at ...nina .--'-f-M l F - l n...a.nv-sl, y '::K 'unn I ' I ku-n-vv.:II-Q uf:-U.

In the Old Days, in the Old High, once New, literary and debating organi- zations were many and varied in their acitivities, but with no long tenure of existence. The sessions were usually night or Friday afternoon ones and they were largely group enterprises. They did develop initiative and executive ability. But the first permanent organization of this type in C. H. S. was The Altrur- ians, organized under the leadership of Miss Loula Van Neman, Biology instructor, in November, 1905. Membership was limited to twenty-four girls. It was a Shake- speare study club. But the name Altrurian suggested, later, the charity attitude which has since been an objective. It has passed the quarter century mark and is strongly established in the life of C. H. S. In the same year 1905-6 two lively debating clubs were in action-The Forum, boys, under the direction of Miss Cupp, History teacher and The Arena, a girls club, under the direction of Miss Pratt. But in the excitement of occupying new quarters and changing conditions, they disappeared. But during the next years, others came into existence. They were usually mixed-boys and girls mingling in the common pursuit of happiness and publicity. Two of these literary societies -the Castalian and the Lyceum, in 1909, were merged into one-The Olympians, a mixed society of 50 or more, to promote the ideals of C. H. S. and develop ideals of service friendship through literary pursuits. Miss Pratt sors. Miss McMurtry has been for a number of flourished as a mixed club until 1918-two years National Drama Society-then, became a girls' strong. as a drama club affiliated with and and Miss Cupp were the first spon- years their leader. The Olympians the literary society and is still going Meanwhile in 1912, the Young Men's Debating Club was organized, with Abner Jones as adviser. The purpose avowed was to promote skill in debate and parliament- ary practice. In 1914, two clubs took its place, The Forum and The Mathesian, each with a membership limited to sixteen. Bruce Richards was an able leader of the Forum from 1914 to 1929, when it ceased to function in debate. The Mathesians became Clay Club in 1917 and developed some very able debaters and public speak- ers while it followed its avowed purpose but it disbanded, voluntarily, in 1928. Another debate club, The Webster, organized in 1922 to promote debate ani public speaking is the one of the debate clubs functioning at present. Miss Grace Bebb was the first adviser, Mr. Pry is at present the sponsor. When Carthage entered the State Debating League in 1917, the fine results of strenuous training were seen. For ten years, the laurels won by our debaters were prized trophies and the names Birkhead, Kenaston, Bryan, McPherson, Blankinship, Schlecht, Colley equalled the galaxy of stars in athletics. Seven years later than the Olympians, another literary society, The Aristonian, was organized by Miss Esther McCaughtry-'tfor mutual improvement in literature and art. It is still flourishing and Miss Baldridge is the latest adviser. The Athenians organized for Freshmen girls by Mrs. Harriett Rynerson, in 1919, accepted for a guide the Greek Goddess of Wisdom and flourished for a cade but gave up the ghost last year. de- 1930 was also the last year of existence for the Arcadians organized in 1926, Sten-Ty organized in 1927, and the Home Makers, organized in 1927. Two flourishing Circles, inspired by the study of languages, are El Circulo Castellano, organized in 1922 under the direction of Miss Irene Kirke. The other is Le Cercle Francais under the sponsorship of Miss Stella Earnest, organized in 1928. Another language club is the Forum Latinum, adviser, Miss Halliburton. The youngest club is a drama club, Mask and Sandal sponsored by Miss Jessie Cary and Miss Halliburton. Sixty-three . - -.-AQ,-.1 ..., . .

At Christmas the girls gave one hundred dollars to the Red Cross which was used for distributing baskets of food to unfortunate families. The money was earned by a tag day and several candy sales. A one-act play, The Kleptomaniacj' was given very successfully at a convo- cation program. Many of the girls have taken part in school activities such as the operetta and plays. A hay ride and weinie roast was given in honor of the new members. A party was given at the home of Frances Marx in honor of the basket ball boys.

The Aristonian Literary Society has completed a very successful year, under the sponsorship of Miss Musa Baldridge. The first half of the year was spent in the study of South America. In the second half, the programs were miscellaneous, parliamentary law, famous people, and other interesting subjects were studied. The club has been well represented in all activities of the school during the past year. Aristonian girls have had leading roles in all plays of the school. The convo- cation play, Seven to One, was enjoyed very much by the student body and faculty. One of our Aristonian sisters, Evelyn Lowe, was the third honor student. Our Aristonian girls stand at the top of their classes in their scholarship and all are popu- lar on the school campus. A treasure hunt was given for the new members at the beginning of the year at the home of Mary Margaret Bates. Our annual Christmas dinner party was given at the Drake Hotel. A social farewell will be given for the senior members at the end of the year.

Such programs are given at regular intervals throughout the school year. Officers are elected each quarter in order that more members may participate in the formal business procedure. On February 27, a French comedy, Harlequinade, was presented by a cast of ten characters. A chorus selected from the French classes, assisted in the program. Several parties were given during the year. The annual picnic held at Lakeside honoring the mothers of the club, was held May 6.

Mr. Lawhead is the main advisor with Mr. R. J. T. Carter and Harry Anderson as his assistants. The Hi-Y of Carthage was very well represented at the Southwest Missouri Older Boys Conference held at Lebanon, Missouri. Eight boys, with Mr. R. J. T. Carter as sponsor, were there. There was much interest in the Hi-Y training camp at Hollister, Missouri, during the summer of 1930. Only two members from Carthage were able to attend, however, this summer a larger representation is expected. The time of the camp is devoted, mainly, to special teaching to help the members in their next year's Hi-Y work. There is an abundance of entertaining, training and sports in camp.

Its membership numbers twenty-five boys, who have banded together in order to form an institution for the further advancement of oratory and debate in Carthage High School. Mr. Pry has ably executed his duties as sponsor of the club. The club was founded in 1921, this year being its tenth as a successful debating club. Throughout the year many debates were held on various subjects, and parliamentary law was studied and practiced. The club started and sponsored for two semesters, the school paper and at the beginning of the second semester this year, turned it over to the student body for publication. The C. H. S. debating team was composed entirely of members of the Webster Club. The winner of the Oratorical contest was a Websterian. The editors and busi- ness managers of the Carthaginian and the Campus Bugle are numbered on its roll as well as the president of the Senior class and Student Council, and the presidents of the Freshman and Sophomore classes. Webster Club also furnished one of the cheer leaders and the president of the Hi-Y Club. Its members are active in all activities and phases of school life. The club maintains a scholastic standard which is strictly enforced. On March 13, the club presented its annual convocation program in the form of a one-act play, entitled Judge Applesauce Presidesf' Roselyn Milton closed the pro- gram with a group of musical selections at the piano.

Instead of following the cus- tom of having a first team and an alternate team, two teams were chosen from a debate squad. Affirmative team, Walter Goodman and Franklin White, negative, Frederick King and Kenneth Gorsuch. The question for debate, Resolved: That the Chain Stores Are Detrimental to the Best Interests of the American Public. The schools comprising the group of which Carthage was a member were: Webb City, Lamar, Nevada and Carthage. In selecting the winner of the group, Carthage defeated Nevadag Webb City de- feated Carthageg Nevada defeated Webb City. Lamar forfeited to the other schools. Thus the three teams were tied. This tie was decided in a tournament held in Webb City. Webb City won the group title. Carthage entered both teams. The Carthage teams, later, entered a debate tournament sponsored by Southwest Baptist College at Bolivar. The four boys representing C. H. S. were given school letters. This was the first year for all the boys, except Walter Goodman, who was on the team last year. Debate was in charge of a committee from the faculty: Miss Marsh, Miss Peiffer and Mr. Richards. 9 U 0 9 H5 Seventy-four 'Q J i 4 r I if X ff ff, ff! ff ,ff fl f, , , 7 QW f We f A Boolffour Z X gn Actlvltles gag K we- E N Q , 7 I 3 3 3 Fx 3 i 3 5 1 4 Qi 11 gl -E M. 55 .1 A if i .I 1 I Qi T In 5 1 4 A 35 -Q 2: 4 if 3 1?

The society has, dur- ing the five years of its existence, taken an active part in raising standards and in directing the course of high school journalism. Quill and Scroll is now an International organization, including over six hundred chapters. These are located in every state in the union, and in Hawaii, England, China, British Honduras and Alaska. 12,000 young journalists have qualified and wear the badge of this society.

Ray Kent The Student Council was organized early in the year of 1929. The Council con- sists of representatives of each class for the purpose of transacting much of the business of their respective classes. There are two representatives and one alternate from the Senior, Junior and Sophomore classes and one representative and one alter- nate from the Freshman class, all elected by the students in the various sections. This year Carl Jackson, as president of the Senior class, was also the president of the Council. During the year the chief work of the Student Council was the sponsor- ing and editing of a handbook containing information to students of the Carthage High School. Other matters of importance concerning the student body were also acted upon by the Council under the supervision of W. R. Rice.

In Book One, Administration, there is a comparison betwecn thc school board and faculty that presided twenty-five years ago and the school board and faculty that we have with us today. In the Alumni section is a recount of the class of 1900 marking the changes that the twenty-five years have wrought. So, through the ai nual, we see contrasts and comparisons in pi,ture and in print of this school twenty five years ago and as it is today. In this editorial we cndcavor to show the develop ment of publications during the same quartcr of a century. The first deciding step toward a sghocl-sponsored publication was taken in thc fall of 1905 when our recent superintendent, W. C. Barnes, then principal of CA. H S called a meeting of a number of students, and under his direction, a monthly magazine was organized under the name of The Herald. This Herald was published month ly for six years. The next years, 1911 and 1912, it was published quarterly and in 1913 it became an annual and the name was changed to the Carthaginian. The Carthaginian has grown and prospered until now we send out the nineteenth edition of the annual. These nineteen Carthaginians, with the older Heralds, are a treasured record, with priceless associations, of all the years between 1906 and the present, 1931. VENCIL WHITTEN.

NOTES The Campus Bugle has finished its third volume as a high school newspaper. At the beginning of the year it was yet a mimeographed sheet published by the Web- ster Club, but with the beginning of the second semester this year a paper was brought into being that was new in many respects. It was no longer a six-page mimeographed sheet, but a four page paper printed by the Carthage Evening Press. It was no longer published by a Webster staff but by a staff chosen at an all school election, and its name was changed from Fly Paper to Campus Bugle. The number of positions on the staff was also increased along with the other changes. Miss Marsh, the faculty censor has done much toward making the paper a success. Those on the staff feel that bond of friendship which comes from achieving a goal after struggling along together, and they sincerely hope that through the success of this paper, C. H. S. students may be brought to realize the important part that journalism plays in the molding of public opinion and in the course of shaping a great nation's destiny.

It is fiesta time in Barcelona, and the day of the season's first big bull fight. Margarita meets her friends in the plaza where they are singing and dancing and laudlng the great toreador, Emilio. Three years before, while touring the United States with her parents, Margarita met Lieutenant Harold Wright. It was love at first sight, but their courtship was soon interrupted by her unexpected return to Spain. Lieutenant Wright goes to Barcelona as custom inspector, and arrives at the time of the annual fiesta. On the day of Margarita's return from Madrid, as he is Walk- ing in the plaza, he finds a scarf on which is attached a silver pin. He recognizes it as one he had given her in Washington. They meet when Margarita returns looking for her scarf and the old romance is resumed. Lieutenant Wright learns she has become engaged by her parents to a scheming Spanish nobleman, much against her will. He secures the aid of his friends in his efforts to break this engagement, but is opposed by the scheming nobleman and Margarita's ambitious parents. Lieutenant Wright suspects the nobleman, who is chief inspector for the Spanish government, as being responsible for certain alleged conditions existing at the custom house. He begins an investigation that leads to some surprising discoveries. The scenes that follow lead up to a climax in the third act revealing the true character of the nobleman. He pleads for mercy through Margarita's parents, which is granted after a promise to release her from the old engagement. All ends well as wedding bells proclaim Margarita's engagement to Lieutenant Wright.

This season has proved a very successful one under the direction of Miss Ragsdale. The first public appearance was in October, when the organization gave a pro- gram at convocation. Work was then begun on the Christmas cantata which was one of the best pro- grams of its kind that had ever been given here. It was entitled The Babe of Bethle- hem, and was presented at both the High school and Memorial Hall on December 13. Following the Christmas program, We began Work on the operetta, The Belle of Barcelona, in which all of the music organizations took part, presenting it on February 13. On Tuesday, February 17, we sang for the Laymen at their annual banquet. 1 It was decided to have pins and a suitable one has been chosen to represent our c ub. We were represented this year by a quartet and a sextet. The quartet was com- posed of Evelyn Lowe, Bertha Mae Sweet, Kathrine Kehr and Talitha Wallace. Those in the sextet were Helen Wright, Lucile Gividen, Pearl Topper, Theodate Wyatt, Har- riet Jones and Marcella Sweet. Numerous other appearances are scheduled for the near future and our final ap- pearance will be at commencement.

S. are ringing with the melodies of the Boys' Glee Club. They rehearse on those days for many events of the year. This organization is composed of about 31 voices, this being the largest group of its kind in many years for C. H. S. This group of boys gave many commendable pro- grams throughout the year, under the capable direction of Miss Frances Ragsdale. The Boys' Glee Club took its part in the producing for the first time in many years the community Christmas program, t'The Babe of Bethlehem, which was pre- sented first in the high school auditorium for the student body and on that evening at the Memorial Hall at which time members of other musical organizations and grade schools also took part. The club is also represented by its quartet composed of Morgan Hillhouse, Robert Redmond, and Carl Jackson, with Emery Springer and James Galbraith as alternate first tenors. This group of boys have made several appearances this year. The boys did their part in the production of the operetta, The Belle of Barcelona, February 13, 1931, which was considered a great success by those who saw it. The boys also gave the opening number at the district oratorical contest which was held in the school building on Friday, March 13th. They gave a convocation pro- gram in part with the other organizations and are now hard at work preparing ma- te1'ial for a spring musicale to be given before the Carthage Music Club in commem- oration of Music Week, a chapel program at Ozark Wesleyan, and various other pro- grams for the community in general. All in all, it has been a successful and busy year for the boys.

Although we haven't as large a membership as we had last year, due to the infantile paralysis ban which interrupted many things in the school, this has been the best year, financially, for some years. Our membership totaled 244. The Athletic Association always tries to let our athletes know that we appreciate them. We did this, this year, by giving a football banquet for all the members of the football squad and their parents. This banquet was held in the basement of the Christian church, December 12, 1930. The room was decorated in blue and white re- sembling a football field. The letters were presented to the boys by our former coach, Clovis Craig. A token of remembrance was also presented to Mr. Craig from the Athletic Association, who had resigned his position. At the present, all dues and debts are paid and we were able to send some of our athletes out of town to other field meets. We feel this has been a very success- ful year for the Athletic Association. Eighty-eight 1 E e. f l?

We may not look peppy but you don't know the half of it. Our main purpose is pep! We were organized in 1929 as a continuation of a pep squad known as the Booster Club. This organization lost its pep, and some how the meaning of the word pep seemed to be forgotten for a year. Then some students interested in the High School spirit got together and organized the Razzers. Our first sponsor was Hal Freeman. After losing him from our high school, our good all 'round friend, Mr. Rice, sponsored us this last year. When we first organized we managed to secure uniforms which are still being used, and have been greatly admired. We have had three good reasons for keeping up our pep-These are: Carl Jack- son, Talitha Wallace and Bob Redmond, who have been our loyal cheer leaders. There are exactly twenty-three members in our organization. Not many, but enough to have real pep. We hope that this young organization will grow and continue the good work for many years to come.

If one should turn back the pages in the history of the Carthage High school he would find that the football season of 1930 was a great success, both by the record established by the team and by the school spirit that was developed in the student body. The Athletic Association received much support from the students and faculty and at the close of the season it honored the football squad with a banquet at which the lettermen received their C's. Pre-season training began two weeks before school with daily workouts at Kings' Field under the directorship of R. J. T. Carter, physical director of Y. M. C. A., Tom Dunphy, former Carthage grid star, and Coach Craig. The first taste of football for the team was a practice game with the town team which the older team won. The Carthage team started the season with a bang, winning the first three games without much trouble. On October 13 our boys journeyed to Monett and crushed the Cubs 7-0. The following week Carthage tripped Nevada, the conference co-champ- ions, 6-0, inflicting upon them their only defeat of the season. Next came the Neosho hurdle which we jumped with great ease land gracej taking the contest by a score of 21-0. Then the unexpected happened, when the supposedly weak Mount Vernon team forced Carthage into a 0-0 tie. On our next hurdle, after getting off to a 6-0 lead in the first quarter, We stumbled and let Lamar walk off with a 12-6 victory. The following Tuesday Joplin came to Carthage and after a desperate struggle left with a 7-0 victory in the bag. Three days later Carthage romped on the Aurora Houn Dawgs taking the contest by the score of 12-0. In the final game of the season against Webb City, the Carthage team started with a world of pep and snap and completely outplayed the Cardinals during the first half. A snappy offensive drive netted us a touchdown in the first quarter. In the final quarter however our offensive punch was entirely lacking and Webb City pushed across two touchdowns to Win the contest, 12-6.

Practice for the basketball season of 1930-31 began the first of December under the direction of Coach Craig, who continued as coach until the first of January. On January fifth Mr. Lloyd Samuels took charge and coached the team the rest of the season. Approximately thirty boys reported when the first call was made and a majority of them remained on the squad the entire season. With only one regular from the team of 1930, Coach Samuels was fronted with the difficult task of building a team from the ground up. However the boys were willing and worked hard under the new coach, and by the time of the first game of the season a scrappy team had been developed from the inexperienced squad that made their opponents fight hard to come out on top. This year's team was purely a de- fensive team as is shown by the results of the season's games, our team losing the majority of the games by less than four points.

TRACK-1931 Training for the track season of 1931 began under the direction of Coach Lloyd Samuels early in March. About thirty boys reported for practice. Carthage won the first meet of the year, a quadrangular meet with Webb City, Joplin and Baxter, winning seven firsts, eight seconds and one third. In the second meet of the year the Ozark Wesleyan Invitation meet, Carthage placed sixth. Many schools were rep- resented and five records were broken. Bob Redmond, Carthage vault man, sailed over the rod at 10 feet 916 inches, to establish a new pole vault record. On April 25 the track team journeyed to Springfield when approximately four hundred athletes took part. I N inety-two . . , LH- nf.: . .,... . . ,. 5 s Wm.

Bernice Burson, Emma Jean McRae Grumpy, a four act play by Horace Hodges and T. Wigney Percyval, was pre- sented by the Class of 1931, April 10 and 11. Both performances were well received by appreciative audiences. The boys' casts for both nights were the same but dif- ferent casts of girls were used. Emery Springer, as Grumpy, starred by handling the leading role in a very effective manner. The cast, as a unit, played well, each member contributing to the success of the production. The plot revolved around an old man with a crusty exterior, but a wonderfully kindly nature, keen wit and indomitable courage of a Sherlock Holmes. Through the aid of a single clue, Grumpy traced the theft of a large diamond, which had been stolen from his grand-nephew. The play ended happily, with the villain caught and a marriage in sight between Grumpy's grand-daughter and grand-nephew. Miss Jessie Cary and Miss Louise Halliburton directed the play and deserve much credit, as do the other members of the faculty who assisted.

Sev- eral Spanish songs were sung by the club members. Katherine Stanton read Kip- ling's If in Spanish. Talitha Wallace sang Clavelitos. As a concluding number the farce Una Tragedia De Amor was given.

Y. b GIRL RESERVES The convocation program of the Girl Reserves, given March 6, was impressive and entertaining. The first part was a group of songs sung by some thirty girls, garbed in the uniform of the organization. The Code of the Girl Reserves in musi- cal recitative was particularly striking. The second part of the program was a play, Joint Owners in Spain. Each of the players acquitted herself well. The lines were witty and clever and there was a laugh in every speech of Mrs. Blair and Mrs. Dyer. Myra Viener and Betty Ketcham, who interpreted those parts, were very realistic in their quaint costumes and saucy speeches. The other parts, Mrs. Mitchell and Mrs. Fullerton were well por- trayed by Ruth Brooks and Christine Amundsen. Miss Frances Wheeler who directed the play did some excellent work. ....9 m 4j.... SPELLING CONTEST The annual preliminary spelling contest was held April first in Carthage High School. Betty Ketcham, Dorothy Durnell, Lois Matheny, George Mimms, and Wil- liam Jones had the highest scores and represented this school in the district contest on April 11th. George Mimms was victorious in this and Betty Ketcham placed third. George was awarded three dollars, Betty, one dollar. Later they spelled off a tie and Betty was presented a dictionary by Mr. Campbell. .-nb-mmm-41.-..

Oh, it's the quartet practicing. I remember now, they are going to sing at the College Friday. I think I'll walk on down the hall. Gracious! Someone fell up the steps. I wonder who it could be? Why it's Francis Pierce. I hope it didn't hurt the poor boy. I guess it didn't. He's getting up but he looks rather confused. And there's a group of girls standing right in the middle of the hall talking among themselves, I think I'll go see what is the matter. Have you your cards? I Want one, one of them yells. Yes, but you have to give me one of yours, yells another. Now, I thought I was going to get in on a fuss but instead they were just ex- changing cards. What is Miss Pratt doing? It rather looks like she is keeping the girls from going down the wrong stairs. Why do people insist upon doing what they know they shou1dn't? I think I'll go outside, there seems to be too much excitement in here for me. Gee! It feels much better out here and would you look at the couples strolling around. Love must be grand! -DOROTHY NELLE WALLINGFORD ' AUTOMOBILE ETIQUETTE Before an auto turns turtle all passengers should get out. The number of a car should be 6699 and should be worn upside down. For the benefit of the man behind, the thoughtful autoist will mix perfume with his gasoline. It is considered bad form for a man driving an auto to try to drive between the headlights of another auto. This is liable to damage the crank handle. Two automobiles should pass on either side of each other rather than on a direct line through each other. It is not proper for an auto to turn a corner on two Wheels.

I can't stay in tonight. I have a date with the dentist. I've forgotten that part of the lesson. My fountain pen just ran out of ink. May I have some of yours? May I go to the office and get some? Oh, why must we write a term paper? Can you tell me where to find some material on my subject? I did not understand I was to have a report today. We did not have any study period today and I did not have any time to study. May I bring my paper in after school? I left it in my locker. Have you a pencil I can borrow?

I know how to work it, but I can't get the answer. I know it, but I can't think of it. I studied the wrong lesson. What lesson was it, about two weeks ago, that I have to make up? May we have this period to study? May I speak? When are our notebooks due? That page is out of my book. Was that the bell? All the books were checked out of the library when I got there.

THE MONROE DOCTRINE AND THE CONSTITUTION QFred Kingy The Holy-Alliance. The name itself seems to suggest the divine-a league with a sacred purpose. But its record on the pages of history creates, for us, no such con- ception of it. Against the insidious wiles of a foreign influence, the jealousy of a free people should be constantly awake. Such was the timely warning of George Washington, Father of the nation. It was to such a menace that he referred, a menace to those rights and liberties-those essentials of democracy on which the government of the nation is founded-those principles set forth in that supreme law, the Con- stitution. Almost a half-century had passed. The United States government had recognized and exchanged ministers with the several South American states, which, after a hard struggle, had justly won their independence from Spain. They were recognized as equal sister states, as a part of free America. These friendly relations received a severe shock, when, a few months later, that confederation of European powers known as the Holy Alliance, having crushed several efforts at liberal government in Europe, focused its attention on those Spanish American states. Concurrent With this was Russia's contemplated plan of establishing herself on the Pacific coast. In that crisis, colossal interests were at stake. Several of the leading nations of the world had turned lustful eyes on the rich American continent. The struggling spark of freedom in America was in danger of being extinguished, and, most Vital to the people of the United States, was the welfare of the nation. Those principles so vital to American democracy: freedom, peace and justice, the integrity of the nation were seriously threatened. A far-sighted administration recognized the dire danger and, as a result there was created one of the most important declarations in American History, The Monroe Doctrine, asserting those principles on which the government was founded. In the minds of such distinguished statesmen as Washington, Adams and Jefferson, those policies were born with the Constitution, as the policies which would insure the welfare of the nation. They were formally expounded in the Monroe Doctrine-a combination sound and impregnable, insuring the safety of those essen- tials of freedom locked within the Constitution. Today, the Monroe Doctrine is ac- cepted by the nations of the world as the policy of the United States in maintaining the peace and freedom of the American people. In presenting his doctrine, Monroe had little conception of the enduring effects his words were to produce. Although he spoke the convictions of the nation's leading' statesmen, he was not certain that his declaration would be supported by the people. He spoke under provocation, knowing that his views should probably be controverted. Today, it is firmly established as the definite policy of the United States, but in the day of Monroe, it was a long step into a field of diplomacy before untouched-prob- ably dangerous. Nevertheless, when liberty struggled for existence in America, he could not hesitate. It was the dauntless courage of a mighty people, personified in a resolute chief magistrate, which put power into those few judicious but momentous statements and made them stand out on the pages of history as God's command- ments on the tablets of Moses. The protection of the weaker American states was in harmony with those principles set forth in the Constitution. As such it found a corresponding response in the hearts of the American people. They saw that besides defending their just rights, it had advanced the cause of civil liberty. The Monroe Doctrine was a final declaration of independence, not only for the United States but for an entire continent of republics. It distinguished those principles-those essentials of freedom as the Divine Right of Every Nation. Truly that was a great declaration-a masterpiece of American genius that could chart so safe a course for the Ship of State through the Sea of Time. The essentials One Hundred Seventeen , ... , .... .,,.-....... .... ... .--,....... .,-. , ... ................ -.....-...,..........-...,...... ...... ....,-.........1.........s.....,..n....,..............-...--..m..... ... ..,.. of those policies were imbedded so deeply in virtue that a century of time has not changed their Validity. They direct the destinies of the nation, today, as in the day of Monroe. Through those policies, the republic has had very little outside interfer- ence. As a result, it is today that progressive, successful, that mightiest of nations which our forefathers visioned as they framed the Constitution. Liberty and Justice, those essentials of American democracy forming the corner- stone of the Constitution, were dangerously threatened. Again the insidious wiles of a foreign influence, the jealousy of a free people was awakened and confirmed in the Monroe Doctrine, insuring the safety of those principles and through them supporting the Constitution of the United States of America. wt F .2 'gl EYE Kiwi?

My first stop, after leaving Carthage, was Chicago. One day while downtown I noticed a large crowd in front of the Wrigley building. My curiosity was aroused and I stopped to ask a man what causes that? He told me that the attraction was the Champion Gum Chewer. Thoroughly curious then, I edged up to the front of the throng to see the title holder, and I was amazed to find Octavia Harris. I was glad to see that at least one member of our class had become a champion in some activity. A couple of days later, while stopping for fuel in Cleveland, I encountered an old friend who also was going to the city of Boston. She was Dorothy Lowry back in the good old school days. But since leaving school she has become a renowned teacher and author. Her latest book was Chemistry in Ten Lessons. I met my friend, Brown and a group of friends who were on their way to hear a lecture on the Evils of Alcohol by a noted dry leader and being something of a dry myself I attended the lecture, too. Everything went along fine until the main speaker was introduced. He was Bill Bowers. Right then my politics almost changed, but before Mr. Bowers finished I was back with the drys. A few nights later, while glancing through the amusement advertisements, my attention was fixed by one featuring a popular song and dance man from Carthage. A natural interest in anyone from the Missouri city caused me to attend the show and I was certainly glad for this headliner turned out to be Ray Amsden. The next week I flew to New York. While at the pier bidding a friend bon voyage on a trip to Europe, a tall, blonde man with a familiar appearance captured my attention and I recognized him at once as Frank Threlfall. He acted as though he were looking for someone. I asked him what he was doing in New York and he told me he was waiting for his wife and three children, who were to meet him there. They were leaving that afternoon for Ireland because Threlfall said There are too many Swedes in the United States for me. There was a popular dancing instructor in New York named Hillhouse, who I had heard of and had made up my mind to visit. I thought perhaps he might be the one I had known at school. I looked him up and, sure enough, it was Morgan Hillhouse. While we were talking over old times the mail carrier left a letter for him postmarked Jerusalem. It was from Harriet Jones who was in the ancient Jewish city visiting and making a study of the Holy Lands. Morgan said Harriet had been over there for some time but it was the first I had heard about her since we were graduated. On my way from New York to Washington I stopped a couple of days in Atlantic City. A big bathing beauty contest was scheduled for the day I arrived. This con- test was unique in that it was for men only. By the time I finally reached a position from which I could see the winner and I was dumfounded when I saw Marion Alson, the proud possessor of the cup. Then I hopped to Washington, D. C. While there I visited the White House and it was my luck to run across Bill Galloway just as he was coming out of the executive mansion. He was in the service of the government as Chief Beer Tester. He was always lucky, though. Tired of flying alone I thought I would take a relief pilot to Miami. At the field I was put in touch with an aviator who turned out to be Charles Keck. I was very glad to see him but I thought if he handled the plane in the manner he handled chemistry we would never see Miami. However, he turned out to be a first class flier. While enjoying the sights there at the beach I met Otto Johnston. He was lead- One Hundred Twenty three A I H E I Illu ing a hard life. In the summer he was a man of leisure and in the winter he worked for a circus in California as an animal trainer. I hopped next to New Orleans. One day I stopped in a drug store for a drink and I noticed a man mopping whom I recognized immediately as Robert Virden. He was scrubbing to work out a cigarette bill. E1 Paso was my next stop. There I happened across the firm of Izard and Riden our, dealers in second hand Fords and other junk. Wishing to see the Grand Canyon, which, by the way, I hadn't seen since I had -taken a sightseeing tour right after the first year of school, I made that my next stop. Almost the first person I saw on alighting from the plane was Emma Jean McRae. She was all dressed up in a cowgirl's outfit and said she was a guide. Now, I can understand why so many people go to see the Grand Canyon. Next I visited several places in California. No trip to California is complete un less a visit is made to Catalina Island, so I took to the water. I made a sightseeing voyage and the announcer on the glass-bottom boat was Emery Springer. His vo1c was as strong as it ever was. The next week I flew to Hollywood and after staying there a couple of weeks without seeing anyone I knew, I had given up meeting any old friends but finallv I bumped into a group of chorus girls and movie actresses. Among them I recognized Bernice Burson, Elva Mae Calhoun, Irene McGaughey, Harriet Williams, Theodate Wyatt, Katherine Yankie and Talitha Wallace, the great singer. Next I went to San Francisco. On my visit to Oakland as soon as I got off the ferry I saw Dwight Shaw. He was throwing rocks at sea gulls. He said his regular occupation was operating the fog horn but there was no fog, so he was enjoying himself. Next I flew to Topeka. In Topeka there was a big political convention in progress, and the big politician was Joe Marx. Although a Missourian he seemed to be a favorite of the Kansans. It was due to the bill he was attempting to put through the legislature. It was to let the United States join Kansas. I wished him luck but was a little skeptical about the bill passing. I also learned from my trip that the following were in the teaching profession Jewell Brown, Olive Albritton, George Beimdiek, Walter Goodman, Helen Marr and Pearl Topper. It was found that Vencil Whitten and Franklin White were at the head of a large orchestra of world-wide fame. Those who grew tired of their sur names and desired the changed effect were Lucille Gividen, Geneva Chapman, Katherine Kehr, Lovetra Olive, Helen Ross and Frances Thomas. I went back to Carthage then for I had seen many of my old schoolmates and it made me feel glad that they were all doing so well. To all I gave a cordial invitation to return to Carthage to visit me and also part of the former faculty, who are situated in a fine new building which surpasses all dreams of 1931. -GLADYS KILPATRICK, ,nw Fl XX wa f' N Q b vl. . , I fi f .1k'f'1:'l, .

At the close of so much labor, Four long years of book absorption, Years when courage sometimes wavered, Then sprang up with strength heroic. At the close of all this conflict, We, the Seniors, lingered sadly. At our side in admiration Certain Juniors clung with envy, Gaining thoughts for next year's glory. Of the past the Seniors' thoughts were, And the Juniors' of the future. We were thinking as we tarried Of the days when first we entered, Golden days, yet full of blunders, Greenest Freshies ever thought of, Of our number strong and mighty, Full one hundred five and twenty. Oh! those days were full of sunshine. Few the clouds that hovered o'er them, But these lowered dark and threatening O'er our inexperienced visions. Then at last the worst was over, Tests, examinations, quizzes. Then it was we looked with yearning To the dignity of Senior. Heard their plans with vague conceptions, Wondered at their might and wisdom, Turned with sighs from all their glory, And decided on a-picnic. Often we have thought and wondered Why it was the teachers shunned us, Plead and gave all sorts of reasons, Saying, 'tDo, O please, excuse us. One at least, perforce, accepted, Driven out by our entreaties, And consented to protect us. Now we know whence all these troubles, Freshmen days are not like others! Out of Freshmen into Sophomores Then had grown my worthy comrades. Wiser minds had these survivors, Draver hearts and stronger purpose. None could walk with heads much higher Than we Sophomores past the Freshmen. None pitched in with greater fervor, Laid aside all former folly. Plunged with might into the tourney, And as knights in Middle Ages, Won our spurs through high achievement, Sleepless nights and days of study. But our rubicon was Caesar. Here it was we almost stumbled. Few were there who dared that emprise, Dared to cross the bridge of Pontoons, Dared to face the Gauls and British. And few won the triumph later Of rejoicing in his victory. But our year was not all drudging, Not all toiling and acquiring, We had glories, we had honors, Which the lofty Seniors wished for. In debates with nearby cities A Sophomore boy had gained the victory. Then in search of new adventures, Forty one enrolled as Juniors. Eighty-four were left behind us, Could not wrestle with the terrors Of geometry and German, Could not tarry in the forum With the ancient Latin speakers. But our number, even smaller, Grew in wisdom, might, and power. These were days when hopes grew brighter All foretold a year of triumph, Saw the victory that was coming, And in expectation waited. From the first the Seniors trembled, One Hundred Twenty five Feared the struggle that was pending, Knew resistance was all useless, And refrained from further conflict. But our hearts though firm and valiant, Yet in pity looked upon them, Knew how hard had been their struggle, How much harder we had made it By our aims and high ambitions. Then our thoughts were turned to music Guided by our Herr Professor, Sang we songs so dear to many Von dem Vaterland und Heimat, Sailed the Rhine and saw the castles, Heard the echoes in the mountains. Fest und treu die Wacht noch stehen. At the close of all these pleasures Bade we farewell to the Seniors, Wished them lives of worth and virtue, And rejoiced! no longer Juniors. Never bloomed the earth so gaily, Never shone the sun so brightly As the day they shone and blossomed, When we reached the goal of Senior. Few our number when we reached it, Only nine remained for Virgil From the forty-eight who started. Far and wide among the people Spread the fame of our endeavors. We were stimulated onward By the hope of our new High School. Looked with pleasure to the moment When through its wide halls we'd wander, All our tribulations ended. Who shall say what thoughts and visions Fill the fiery brains of young folks? Who shall say what dreams of beauty Fill their hearts and stir their purpose. Oh! how joyous all our hearts were When to us its doors were opened, When in truth we gladly claimed it. Nothing now could damp our ardor, Darkened walls, nor crowded class rooms. We were free now, nothing bound us, Naught restrained us from our purpose. But why linger we on pleasures, Days whose joys were full of music? Sorrow came and touched our last year, Took away from us our choicest. She has gone from us forever, She has moved a little nearer To the Master of all goodness. Farewell! Oh, our sweet companion! One Hundred Twenty-six Come not back again to labor, Come not back again to struggle With life's battles and its troubles. All our hearts were touched with sorrow, All our thoughts went onward with you That sad day when you departed To the Islands of the Blessed, To the Land of the Hereafter. To our ear there came a murmur As of waves upon a sea shore, As of far-off tumbling waters, As of winds among the pine trees, Coming from the starry distance, Coming from the empty vastness, Low and musical, and tenderg Not enjoyment and not sorrow Is our destined end or way, But to act that each tomorrow Find us farther than today. Then our thoughts turned to the future When our toil should be rewarded. To the day of graduation, Brightly gleamed the visioned future With its pageantry and honors, Play and contest-innovations, Class reception and commencement. With a smile of joy and triumph, And with looks of exultation, Vanished from our brows all shadows, As the fog from off the water, As the mist from off the meadows. Then a sad though glorious vision Passed before us, vague and cloudlikeg We beheld our classmates scattered, Saw the whole of our small circle Sweeping onward, always victors. We beheld, too, in this vision, In the distant days that shall be, All the Juniors, our successors, Many Sophomores and Freshmen Thronging onward in our footsteps. Then the vision passed beyond us, In the shadowy future vanished, But we know, with faith prophetic, They, too, will be taught and strengthened, As has been our happy fortune. They, with us, will love and cherish And be true to Alma Mater. fFaye Emery has been a Deaconess of the M. E Church. She is now in Hutchinson, Kansasj - V,v, ? q, ,.

Aw gee, morn, responded the boy petulantly, from his comfortable perch, let me read five more minutes! No, work before play, you know you can't write poetry in a minute. Well, all right, but how do you expect me to write poetry with Harry the Hurdler maybe going to get killed or something! He flung down the book and mut- tered: Who wants to be a poet anyway, I'm goin' to be a 'naviatorf' With the air of a martyr, David resolved to do the task right. He seated him- self at his desk after spending twenty-seven and one-half minutes in sharpening a pencil, digging his student lamp out of its basement hiding place, trying out a new card trick with little success, and removing his necktie. The stage now being set, Dave clenched his pen firmly and wrote with many flourishes Poem on the center of the top line. The next movement established his name in the upper left-hand corner. This excellent progress ceased at the opposite angle. Hey, sis, what day is it? Tuesday, she replied very sweetly. And I mean what number,-it isn't either the 31st of April! 'Thirty days hath September, April, June and No--'g You don't want to hear that, why not? You're always raving about me not knowing anything, guess I fooled you! And I say, don't bother me any more! An air of concentration was assumed by the hero and at this point he produced the following line. A monoplane is lots of fun. He surveyed his work with satisfaction, now what rhymed with fun? He named to himself, bun, run, stun, Boston, sun-ah! that last is a lallapalossa! In it I'd go to the sun. -No that didn't sound right somehow. Now he had it, he'd forgotten his de-dah-de-dah-de-dah! This was better. Oh, how I wish that I had one! David then chanced to glance at the clock and with a shout and a leap he was at the radio. Whew! He had almost missed Ike and Ebenezer, the best program on the air, and all on account of an old poem! After thirty minutes of minstrels his mind again became lyrically inclined! Hav- ing no sudden inspiration, he attributed his lack of genius to lack of nourishment. This condition was promptly rectified, leaving many empty dishes in the ice box in the so-doing. Returning to the afore-mentioned poem he added these thoughts: I'd hop right in and take a ride, I'd turn flip-flops and fly on the side. His pride at these rare words was dimmed by the sight of chocolate icing smeared on the paper. How did that get there! Now he'd have to copy the old thing. This tedious task was interrupted by the urgent ringing of a bell. Hating to leave his work but ever sensitive to the call of duty he sprinted to the phone. Hello, yea this is me. What! the gang's over there, sure I'll be right over! Ca voice at his side reminded him of the unfinished poem.J Shucks, I forgot, I gotta finish a poem, but I've only ten more lines. I'll be over in two or three minutes fthe maternal voice again interruptedj well twenty minutes anyway! G'bye! One Hundred Twenty seven Disgustedly he returned to the easy chair to which he had recently moved his literary contribution. Finding himself in difficulty, he began a Search for a rhyming dictionary. In the process, he discovered a batch of English papers of past years. With a shout he emerged from the book-case! The problem is solved! The lost is found! In his hand he flourished wildly a paper entitled The Joys of Spring which title was duly followed by fourteen lines of poetry C21 beginning: I Robins are Flying, Winter is dying. Spring is beginning Wish I was swimming. This manuscript sailed across the room, a voice shouted, Pvc got my poem, I'm off to Mary Ellen's, a door slammed-all was quiet. PICKINGS Maxine Gowin A queer old vase lay nearly hidden from sight among the debris thrown upon the trash heap by the latest rubbish carrier. I picked it up and examined it closely. It possessed a strange attraction for me somehow. The vase was in the form of the famed Mother Goose rhyme, The Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe. There was even a realistic patch upon the left side of the toe. I decided I would take it home and leave the other pickings for the rest of the rubbish heap frequenters. I, The day was cold and the sun trying to peep from the clouds looked pinched and cold. I pinned my old coat closer around me and holding my treasure closely I hur- ried homeward to Grannie. Home was a leaning, decaying, woodshed in the poor district of Cambridge. There was a little crowd of people gathered around the little hovel, some weeping loudly, a general air of excitement prevailed. Sh, here she comes, said one. Shall we tell her now? asked another. Might as well, pore little thing, answered the other. Sensing something was wrong, I rushed up. Where's Granny ? I cried. A hush fell upon the people. Well, Granny ain't here, that is-a- I elbowed my way to the midst. There lay Granny, the lines smoothed from her old face, but she was white and still. Granny, Granny, I cried. Pore old thing's dead, honey, someone said. The days followed hazily, I was aware of people going in and out of my little room, but Granny never came. What was to become of me? I had no money, none of my kind neighbors could take me. A man came one day and said for me to pack my clothes and he would call for me the next day. He was from the Merit Jensen Home for Orphans. I determined I would not go there. A sudden stroke of anger seized me, I felt that I hated that hideous vase which had looked so beautiful to me before. I seized it and threw it to the floor and stamped my foot upon it. It did not break. I looked at it, my eyes must be deceiving me. The patch on the side of the shoe opened as a little door on springs and a piece of paper and a small rusty key lay within. I reached down and picked them up. Unfolding the yellowed paper I began to read. I am an old man near death. I have no one to whom I may bequeath the sav- ings of my lifetime which are the result of frugal meals and strictest economy. I love this old vase and it is my Wish that my savings shall go to him or her who has interest enough in my vase to discover this hidden spring. Take the key which you will find with this note, go to the National Bank, and this key will turn the lock to Drawer 13 which contains ten thousand dollars fS10,000J. Take this money and use it for the best. NATHAN GREEN. One Hundred Twenty-eight . . .. , ,,,. . .. . .. . H59HNU5lY.

TIME: Late afternoon of the day before the semester examinations. It is the time of day when things are quiet and there is the much sought after excitement to be at- tended to, in order to pass the slow moving time more quickly. fJim and Bob are seen lounging on a daybed which is in front of a window. Jim is restless and is constantly looking out of the window, but Bob is quite content to rest peacefully.J Jim Cabsentlyj-Yeh-and he's always so nicey-nice, to hear him tell it. Wish we could pull something on him to make him snap out of it. And his day-dreaming too, isn't it the worst ever known? He is lost in the spell of thinking about his loved one he left back home.

Re- member the handsome woman I left so suddenly to see? Well, she Was inquiring about the Dean's office so I volunteered-ahem!-to show her. We struck up a con- versation of course, and she told me she'd come down to this college to visit her uncle, the Dean. But it finally came out that she has a boy friend going to school here and she wants to see him. Darn her, tho! she wouldn't tell who her big moment was. And she relates that her uncle and her boy friend are each unawares of her interest in the other. And- Bob-Yes, yes, but what does this have to do with your joke on Dick? Jim-He-he-he-ha-ha-ha-that's the fun. Oh me-well, you see the Dean wasn't in, so I hated to leave her there alone to wait and I had to rush down town to pay my tailor's bill before he closes shop-so--I announces to her-ha-ha- We've a most entertaining young man attending school here and I'rn sure if he isn't indisposed, he'd be quite willing to come and show you around the college and tell everything about it you might want to know.

SCHOLAE AMICAE fChristine Amundsenj One summer, about a year ago, I chanced to he visiting my great aunt, who lives in a large, old- fashioned country home. She graduated from Carthage High school in 1880, and many are her tales of school days in the old Central Building, where now stands our modern high school. She told me that she was a member of the third graduating class of Carthage High school. She said there were seven pupils in the first class, and two in the next. In her class there were eight, and they X were all girls. I should have liked to attend one of your football or basket ball games. I imagine they were different from ours. Oh, but we didnlt have football and basketball, but we had baseball. How many students were there in the Central Building? I asked. Let's see, in 1870 there were four hundredg and we had eight teachers, she answered. Aunt Kate, didn't they have any literary societies? No, we had no literary societies, but we had something known as the 'Lyceum'. The members had debates and did some of the same things you do in your literary societies. Well then I suppose Mr. Rice wasn't principal, I said rather doubtfully, for it seemed that Mr. Rice and the high school must have always gone together. No, and don't tell Mr. Rice you asked me that. Dan Matthews was principal and a good one he Was. He was a good natured Welshmanf' Who was superintendent ? I asked. Mortimer Wilson was superintendent and we liked him very much. While he was in Carthage he married Miss Lizzie Chase. He resigned from the high school when he was about forty and then practiced medicine in Chicago. What did you do when you were absent or tardy? Did you have to bring an excuse from home and have Mr. Ri--Wilson sign it? I asked. I was glad she said yes, for I never should have felt right towards Mr. Rice, if I had found he originated the idea. Speaking of tardiness or absence was worse than dry, so I asked her another dry question. What courses did they offer? Did you have much choice? No, we didn't. They offered a full course in Latin and English. We didn't think of Home Economics, manual training, or a commercial course, my aunt answered. That seems odd. By the way, was the Central building the first one in which you had high school?,' No, we had the old academy which was destroyed during the Civil war. The bell was saved and was on our Central building. It used to call us to and from school, and we hold it very dear. I hardly thought we students felt the same about anything, but I began to think of the time when we'd be telling of our high school days. I didn't think long, however, as my aunt seemed anxious to continue. Well, our Scholar Amicae club put the old bell in your present high school building. Scholar Amicae, what's that? I asked. One Hundred Thirty-one 5 -.-In -. . , ,, , , E Q M W e B -il' - is-H . ig' chd- ,. -tqd-,,, L'-n-zflvyg-salesman. , Y.:-..,', Haven't I told you about our 'Scholae Amicae' Club? Well, well. The name is Latin and means 'friendly school girls! There are twenty-four women left who went to Carthage High between 1870 and 1885, and we have a club. Here is our pin. Frank Pierce, who formerly went to school here and who now lives in St. Louis, sent us the money for them. Mrs. Carrie Long Bathhurst designed them. We organized our club in Webb City at the home of Mrs. Nell Forbes Matthews. We now meet three times a year. Then We always have a picnic in June. The first time we went to 'Hubbard Springsf but we generally go to Lakeside. I might have heard more, but just then a knock was heard, and somone my aunt called Lettie, walked in. fMy aunt afterwards told me that her name was Mrs. Lettie Leggett Platt and that she was a member of the Scholae Amicae Club. J 'During the course of the conversation, Lettie and Aunt Kate strayed on the sub- ject of a certain night when there'd been a party. I was just about to find out all about their boy friends, when Aunt Kate, who evidently thought I was hearing too much, asked me would I please pick Mrs. Platt a bouquet of roses. Of course I pleased and never heard anymore about the party. But I did hear more the next evening, for the Scholae Amicae Club met at my aunt's home. Every one wore old fashioned clothes and ate an old fashioned dinner with napkin rings, onions in a glass and so on. What was most interesting to me was to hear the dignified Mrs. So and So called Bobby, but she looked twenty years younger and did not act so dignified as she talked over old times. I soon found out that all the members were called by their first name, and I thought this very interesting-especially to a mouse in a corner. Soon they had their business meeting and I heard the roll call as follows: Fannie Harding Hill, the president, Mabel Reed Rose, the vice president, Hattie Smith Stickney, the secretary herself, Virginia Kuhn 0'Neal, the treasurer, Ida Wood- mansie Morrow, Bird Betts Wolcott, Lettie Leggett Platt, Lillie Cowgill Blair, Ann Rose Hodson, Emma Corwin Spence, Blanchard Kuhn, Mollie Long, Carrie Long Bathhurst, Ida Trot Maring, Nell Forbes Matthews, Luella Haugawout Kirke, Arria Jenkins Murto, Stella Harding Deacon, Luella Ruffin Guinn. Judging from what was said, the ladies seemed to enjoy their Scholae Amicae meetings very much. After the business meeting, the ladies had their social and talked over old times, but I think the ladies would not like to have me tell the most interesting stories I heard. What surprised me most was that they never once wondered what will become of this younger generation. I was much afraid they'd disappoint me and do it, so I left my secret corner and that was the last I saw of the friendly school girls. ..nU'QllIlm-Qlou.

Yeah, he asserted gloomily one day to the sympathetic ice man. I was born under an unlucky star. Never was lucky enough to find out which one it was, if l did find out, I'd be too unlucky to take my revenge on it. He never drove down a narrow street on a busy day but what a wagon load of bricks took up the road in front of him. When only a baby, he always managed to swallow the breast pin his mother was to have worn the following Sunday. It could not be denied that Ezra was unlucky. In such a state he grew to manhood and finally married. At last he thought his jinx had turned away from him, for he had dug his potatoes without mishap, had paid his taxes, and had not been reminded by his wife that the house needed paint or that they needed new furniture, for two whole weeks. Surely, he thought, luck favored him at last. The very next morning when he opened the front door, there, curled in the corner of the porch, lay a little yellow pootch hound beating the floor with his tail, and mutely asking. for hospitality. Now Ezra Doolittle was not a cruel man at heart, but a vision of a dog tax receipt or a summons into court flashed before his mind, and he resolved to dispose of his uninvited guest at once, and in some humane way. The dog was taken into the Doolittle buggy and was driven across the country and dropped out. Ezra started home by a roundabout way. He crossed a stream by a ford to make sure the pup would not follow him. Halfway across, he looked back, and there was the dog just at the rear wheels. This was too much. The dog was taken into the wagon and carried home. That night Ezra lay awake half the night, trying to devise some scheme to rid himself of the yellow pup. The Doolittles lived in the suburbs. One evening Ezra was driving home, still pondering on the question of the dog. Nearby, some farmers were dynamiting stumps from their fields. What quick work that dynamite did with those stumps! Suddenly he was struck by an idea. The next evening he stepped into a hardware store and purchased a stick of dynamite, a fuse and cap. The following day, Mrs. Doolittle decided to visit her mother. When she was gone, the dynamite was taken from its hiding place in the garage. Carefully the death-dealing bomb was tied to the pup's tail, and a match was applied to the fuse. Still more carefully, Ezra start- ed to creep away from the dog. He did not want to witness the tragedy. The pup had ideas of his own. He had gotten it into his head that Ezra was teaching him a new kind of game. When Ezra thought he was safely away, he looked cautiously around. The pup was at his heels, and the fuse was hissing in a most business-like manner. Taking alarm, he vaulted the fence into the garden. The dog vaulted, too. The next vault was into the chicken pen. The pup hit the ground before he did. As he gazed despairingly at the rapidly shortening fuse, he prayed mentally for a cat to attract the pup's attention. Any other time there would have been a dozen cats near, but now there was not even a kitten. Ratsl yelled Ezra frenziedly, pointing to the henhouse, but the dog only wagged his tail. Ezra began to wonder how long his wife would wear her widow's weeds, and what kind of monument she would place over his grave. As a last resort, he made a spring for the hen-house roof. Just as he left the ground, a sweet dream came over him. He thought he was in heaven, he thought that the conductor on the suburban train in which he rode to work was his dog, and he was tied so that he could kick him anytime he chose. He One Hundred Thirty three .... , Q...-............................g........,....:,4........z,....-a..........-.:........-.-.-........a...,........g....:. ..,.......n.......-..:.-..........-...,..1.... .- if - L l. dreamed that he was a child again, and his mother was washing his face with a soft, warm cloth and not the nutmeg grater as it seemed she usually did. Then he awoke, and a dog without a tail was licking him in the face. It was near sunset, and the hens had gone to roost and were engaging in their evening gossip. Ezra was none the worse except for a ruined suit of clothes, and his wife, who had just returned, scolded him for cleaning the hen-house in his good clothes. 5 Ezra still has the dog. It has a fashionably bobbed tail, and is quite a favorite in the Doolittle household. ....lv- m 4J.... MY IDEA OF AN HONEST MAN An honest man can look the world in the eye with a free conscience. He is not afraid of threats. If he is poor, he is not ashamed of it. He can associate with the best of people and not be ashamed of himself. He gives everyone a fair deal. He does not brag about things he has done. He does not tell lies feither white or blackJ. He treats everyone the same and has no favorites. He tries to climb the ladder of success fairly and honestly. He owes no man. He helps people in time of trouble and many people think he is an angel in dis- guise. He is never too busy to go to church. He is a God-fearing man, a good hus- band and father to his family. He is not governed by other people when he knows he is right. He is an all around good man. Don't you think such a man will suc- ceed? Don't you think if there were more such men the world would be much better off Y I do. -Louise Adams. ...QQP-3fm -syn..

The Lofton girls' basketball team would play its final game Friday afternoon, and every practice from now on would be carefully outlined. This game was with Franklin High school, and was the most important game on the schedule. Helen had never wanted anything more than she wanted to play in this last game of the season. As substitute center, she had taken part in several games, and another two minutes would win for her the right to wear the coveted L of Lofton High School. Practice over, Helen walked home with the varsity center, Jane Steward. She admired Jane without resentment, and knew her to be a loyal and trustworthy girl. The Stewards were poor, but they had always stood on their own feet, and Jane was literally saving her pennies so that she could enter Normal next year. Jane was talking animatedly of the coming game. If we beat Franklin, she said, Ueven the boys will have to admit that our season has been a success. You know, Helen, there are a number of people at school and here in town who are doubtful of the wisdom of girls' basketball. Of course we lost the first two games, but since Miss Hayes began coaching, we have been unusually successful, and this game will just about decide whether or not we'll have girls' basket- ball next year. Helen's father had already bought her a flaming red sweater, in anticipation of the black L she would receive after the final game. As the Franklin game drew near, however, it became more clearly apparent that she probably wasn't going to win her letter this year. For Jane, realizing her heavy responsibility, was playing even better than usual, and, as Miss Hayes said, the game depended more or less on her. There was little comfort in the coach's words, If by any chance Jane is injured or put out on fouls, you'll get your chance, Helen. But unless the score was very uneven, there would be little possibility of getting into the game, so long as Jane could play, and this the substitute clearly realized. In spite of her resolve to be a good sport, by the time Saturday morning came around, Helen was feeling pretty discouraged. She decided to go down and talk to Miss Hayes about the game. The coach was not at home, however, and she started slowly back, still feeling in need of sympathy. Nearing her own home, she almost bumped into Jane Steward, who was hurrying along, her face sober and worried. Why Jane, exclaimed Helen, what are you doing over here this time of day '? She knew that Jane helped her mother on Saturday with her dressmaking, and shc wondered vaguely if something had happened, something which had to do with the Franklin game. Pm going over to Miss Hayes', said Jane, sounding periously close to tears. But she isn't at home. I've just come from there. Oh, Jane looked anxious. I've got to see her about the game today. What about it ? I can't play, I guess. Helen's eyes widened. Why, Jane 7 she asked quickly. Jane spoke quietly. Mother left yesterday to visit a friend in the country whom she hasn't seen for ages. Helen could see nothing alarming in that. But there's no one but your little brother- she began. That's just it, Jane interrupted her. Teddy was taken sick this morning. It One Hundred Thirty fin may not be very serious, but some one has to be with him every minute. He's only six you know, and I don't dare leave him. How about your mother's friends? Pvc tried them, said Jane hopelessly, and it seems as if everyone is busy this afternoon. Oh, you can't go and tell anyone that a basket ball game is more important than a club meeting or a matinee. But the team needs you, Helen protested. I know, but what can I do Y I-Ie1en's thoughts were racing. If Jane could not play, the Lofton team would be beaten. She--Helen would get into the game, would win her letter, but the team Would lose. The true school spirit is the spirit of sacrifice. Miss Hayes' words came back to her. And suddenly Helen caught J ane's arm and smiled into her troubled eyes. Listen Jane, she said quickly. lf someone came over to sit with Teddy, you could play, couldn't you? Some one whom you trusted? Jane nodded. There isn't anyone though. I believe there is. HWh0?H Helen's smile was still brave as she abandoned all hope of a varsity UL. Myself, she said. If you'll have me. You must let me Jane, for the good of the team. Jane looked at Helen, unbelievingly, for a few seconds. Then she swallowed hard. It's wonderful of you to offer, Helen! she said. I know how much this means to you, and believe me, I appreciate it. It was four o'clock. Helen sighed. The big game would be over in half an hour. If she could only get her mind on something else, but always there came before her a vision of Jane, leaping high in the air to top the ball to Doris, and she could not keep the tears from her eyes. She pulled the cover over Teddy, who was rather feverish. Twenty after now. Would the hour never end, Helen wondered wearily. Her thoughts were interrupted by a knock at the door. Bernice Hammond, another sub, burst into the room. Helen put her finger to her lips, pointing silently to the sleep- ing child. Miss Hayes wants you at the gym, Helen, now! She handed the bewildered girl her coat. Hurry, dear. It's late. At the door Helen hesitated, But, Teddy? I'm staying, Bernice told her. Now scoot! And good luck. Helen scooted and arrived breathless at the gym in a very short time. Miss Hayes instructed her as she dressed. Jane is going strong, but the score is twenty to twelve in our favor, and even if it wasn't, I know I could depend on you, Helen. The coach looked at her watch. Three more minutes, she said. Now go in and do your best. Helen had never played better. Her excellent teamwork got much applause, and the game ended with a score of twenty-four to fourteen, for Lofton. Helen's heart was light. She had won her letter. One Hundred Thirty-six Ted McAllen wanted to be on the high school football squad, but his family would .... . ......g-- ,.,., ..,. ..

Ted was a good player and very popular among his fellow classmen. On the morrow the championship game with the Woodfield team was to be played. Ted wanted to play more than anything, but he would not disobey his parents. He wanted just to win his letter and help his school win. The boys begged and pleaded with him, but as much as he would have liked to, he did not. In the positions which Ted would play if his family should ever change their mind, played Clifford Rynes. He was very jealous of Ted because of his good playing. On this he met Ted and in a sneering tone said: Hello, so your folks are afraid for you to play, afraid some one will step on your toes. Ted was not a boy who got angry very quickly but this was too much. I'm not afraid and my folks aren't either, but they don't want me to play, and what they say goes. Ted then walked on with a hurt look on his face. He wanted to play, why should his mother and father object so serfously? All that evening Ted was very, very thoughtful. He wanted to play, and he did not believe it would do any good to ask again. The morning for the game dawned bright and clear, it seemed even the air had an excited tingle. Ted felt as if he could not rise, and he still thought of the winning of the game. He heard his mother calling him. He went down stairs. His mother said: Why, Ted What's wrong? Ted did not intend to tell, but now before he knew it, he was telling her every- thing, all about his wanting to Win his letter and help his school. His mother under- stood. She wanted to help him but she could do nothing but comfort him. Ted left for school and felt as if he had not a friend in the world. Mother had not told him he could play. The morning passed, and at noon he returned home, and still his mother never mentioned the football game. At 2:30 he said: Well, mother, may I go now? His mother smiled and answered, And you may play, also, Ted. Ted stood for a moment. Mother! She smiled and retreated to the kitchen. She could hear Ted run wildly up the stairs. Then his door slammed and he came back down and was gone around the corner. Ted ran to the Coach and in an excited tone told him of his permission to play. The coach was pleased but sa1'd, 'Tm sorry, you'll have to dress and just play sub for a while. Then, maybe, I can find a place for you. Ted was evidently disappointed, but he went to the gym and got on his football clothes. Other boys were in there and all were glad for him but Clifford Rynes. He, with much disgust, left soon after Tedis arrival. The game started and progressed rapidly, but still Ted did not get a chance to play. It came to the half, and, soon, to the third quarter. The coach called him to him saying, Ted, you may take number one's place and play your bestg the score 1's a tie. The game grew so exciting that the crowd on the side lines soon were on their feet, yelling at the top of their voices. The team, on which Ted played, neared the twenty-yard line. Ted had played hard since he had been put in and the nervous ex- citement soon made him tired, but he knew there was little titme to spare. He saw his chance. Then, too, he heard the crowd on the side lines yell, Rah! Rah! Rah, Ted, Who 'Z One Hundred Thirty seven ,lb ,,g,,,,,Y,,, , A -- .. . - - . . , A . - . . . r...:..... . Ted McAllen. This encouraged him and he found the ball in his possession. He saw the goal. He ran, aware of the players before and behind him, but as he ran on, dodging in and out, he fell on the goal. There arose a cheer. His team had won and he had helped. Now, he was satisfied and wanted to go home, but no, the crowd was coming to congratulate him. Ted had saved their game and won the championship for the school. ....a-gm -q....

Then these naked branches will wrestle With the trumpeting winds and the cold, With the fierce marauders of winter- Gaining strength, as Jacob of old. Again, Spring with her banners returning, Crowns the victor with emerald sheen, Till he stands in full-leaved verdure, Robed in garments of living green.

THE LAST WHITE LINE The Homecoming game for Carthage high! The referee holding up his hand and signalling ready for the whistle. A hush over the crowd-for Springfield, mightiest team of the conference, her men looming like giants in a long line across the field, lined against the lighter Carthage team, was a sure-winner. The game was on! Through three hard-scrapped quarters the sweating, panting teams fought-score- less! Then a break!-for Springfield! Again a hush was on the field. The ball on the very shadow of the goal- They'll never hold 'em. It can't be done. Once-twice-three times the mighty, battering ram crashed against the light blue and white line. Three times that blue and white line was like a stone wall. The fourth down came like a cataract-rising to the destruction of everything in its path -but only destroyed itself. The line stood-a stone wall defense-the crowd roared. The fourth quarter opened-no chance but a tie-all hope seemed gone for a score for either team, but finally the great Springfield team-lucky again-Went over the line in SEVEN DOWNS. The game was over-a beaten team Walked across the field to oblivion in the championship race. They had lost! They lost, yet half in triumph, 'Tis not that I would seem To dim the cloudless glories of that great, unbeaten team. But still, should fortune fail us, at last the hope is mine, That we may stand as they did, Upon the Last White Line! James Wyatt, 1930. ...-9-gllgg-go... THE CHILDREN'S JUBILEE fW'ritten for the dedication of the new Carthage High Schoolj O, fair Carthage, thy children extol thee, And with joy their glad tribute they pay, While with fond hearts they join in thy praises And with jubilee, welcome the day. CHORUS O, Carthage, fair Carthage beloved, Home of beauty and culture and joy! We hail thee, We hail thee unrivaled And thy praises our voices employ. We exult in thy prestige of beauty, Fair Queen of the Ozarks renovsmed, With thy sceptre of riches extended, Enthroned on thy hills purple crowned. But this glad day will add to thy dower, This fair temple of wisdom divine, That will yield to thee increase of power, More than product of mart or of mine. Here thy future by youth shall be fashioned As the pages of learning are scanned, Here the lesson of truth and of wisdom Shall be taught that must error withstand. --ESTHER PRATT.
