G D1JC DOC DUC duc DOC DUC DUC IX 1C Senior Class History X T WAS in September 1915 that we, as Fresh- men, began our career in C. H. S. Of course we were very proud to be entering High School — still we couldn’t avoid feeling shy when the other classes, especially the Sophomores, cast such glances at us. They told us such terrible tales con- cerning the lessons, teachers and rules that we fear- ed the very entrance of the study hall. We soon overcame this fear however and managed to pull thru our first year. When we returned as Sophs, we learned that a number of our former class mates had not come back to be with us, but we made several valuable acquisitions, Saline Armstrong, Lee McMullen and Lester Chaffee. It is generally quoted that the second year is the hardest, tho we brilliant students did not find it so with the many parties and other means of recreation. It seemed a very hard matter for this class to keep the members acquired, for at the beginning of our Junior year we found we had lost the ones gained in our Sophomore year, but six other pupils joined our jolly class. We haughty Juniors of 18 could not under- stand why the Seniors tho’t it appropriate to enter- tain us at a “Tacky” party. But we paid them back by giving a circus and requesting them to come dressed as young as they acted. They all come dressed as twelve year olds. Oh! the dignity we felt when we returned to C. H. S. as Seniors. Owing to the Influenza epi- demic we lost a month of our valuable school year. On account of this we have had to do extra work and have not had much time for play, tho we did find time for several (?) parties and a feast. Now as we leave dear old C. H. S. we realize as never before how we have enjoyed these four years and hope to have imparted our genius and ability to the coming Seniors of future time. LULA MAY BECKETT, ’19.

I had seen Aeneas go to the cave of the Cumean Sybil. I had heard him ask her concern- ing his future and the city which he was to found. Slowly the clock chimed the hour of midnight. My Virgil book slipped unheeded to the floor and with a weary sigh 1 closed my eyes leaving Aeneas watching his descendants pass before him. How I envied the mighty Trojan with his privilege of looking into the future. Still pondering upon this I fell asleep and so great an impression had my studying and my envy made upon my mind that they followed me into my dreams. 1 stood by a huge, black cave, the abode of the Cumean Sybil. I entered and was confronted by the Sybil herself. “What would you have?” she croaked. Speak! who’s past, present or future would you know? Without a moment’s hesitation I replied: I would see the class of 1 9 1 9 in the year 1 934.’’ The Sybil turned to a tall, veiled figure, which I hadn’t noticed before. “Show her the class of 1 91 9 of Clearwater High School fifteen years from now,’’ the old hag com- manded. 3 Hardly had the command left the Sybil’s lips when I was lifted as though I were a feather and with my guide I sailed out of the cave on the air. “Close your eyes,’’ said the spirit, and do not open them ’till 1 give the signal. What was that sound, haunting and wonderful? Crooning sweetly as a mother s lullaby it rose, then softly it died away on the stillness. A great clap- ping of hands followed and the spirit and 1 stopped At a word from my guide I opened my eyes. I was in an immense opera house. On one of the exquisitely tapestried boxes I saw the arms ot the royal family of England. From that box boquets were being tossed to the stage. There, receiving all this homage and praise, stood a young wonder. In her hand was a rare, old cremond. As she turn- ed toward me I, with a cry of joy, recognized my old chum, Ida Seals. No sooner had I recognized Ida than I was whisked out of the building. Again I opened my eyes. I was in circus tent and the manager was talking. “Our most famous merry-maker. Re- nowned from one end of the earth to the other. No sooner had he finished than in came a clown. And what a clown ! Every glance and movement X 0 o 0 0 X MK= =XK= = iK= DUC Z KZ XK XK X K K j IOKZZXK K=XI C=.. XK XK — mm M K- inspired a laugh. The huge tent rocked to and fro with the mirth of the occupants. 1 caught some- thing familiar in the actions of the funny man, but not until he called out “Whoop-a-la-la” did 1 rec- ognize Everad Mann. “Oh, Everad,” I thought, “your practice in the Junior-Senior circus proved an aid to you.” A soft breeze blew and rustled the silk dresses of the young women who were wondering about the gorgeous green lawns of a wonderful estate. They were talking excitedly about the guest of hon- or, lady Stanislus, the most beautiful woman in the country. She was lunching at Windsor Castle with Her Majesty but was expected to return any minute. Suddenly the crowd separated into two lines and down between them came a distinguished looking young man talking to a lady at his side. I could not see the young lady’s face but the dignity and indifference in her manner were strangely fam- iliar. She raised her head. Oh, Lois, Lois, 1 might have known that no one else could make a whole country sit up and take notice as well as you could. Unseen, my guide and 1 entered a large room which I recognized as the Solid Geometry recitation room at Yale College. A voice, terrible in it’s sterness and wisdom, thundered, “We will review to-day’s lesson and take in advance propositions thirty, thirty-one, thirty-two and thirty-three. Class is excused.’’ A tall man, the owner of the voice X K ‘ XK X X XX XX x i turned wearily around and sank into a chair.. I gasped in surprise but 1 might have known it. Ed- win always was a wonder in Solid Geometry. I next opened my eyes to the splendor and glare of the reception room of the White House. The president’s inaugural reception was being held. I looked around for the leader of our country. Amid cheers, the president entered. Weekly, I sank into a near by chair. The first person in the land was a woman. She turned and 1 saw her face. Never could I be mistaken in those golden curls and laugh- ing gray eyes and dimpled cheeks. Edith Compton always did get what she went after anyway. Why had I been led to the rear entrance of this big theatre. I wasn’t interested in these chorus beauties who were coming out into the night. Not till 1 heard one exclaim: “What wo-o-o-nderful flowers!’’ did I see anything of interest. Just as the girl and a young man entered a waiting limou- sine I saw why 1 had been brought to this scene. I recognized the chorus girl’s escort. Well George Selby always was the class flirt. A golden voice rang out in the closing bars of a passionate song. For a breathless minute an in- tense silence, broken only by smothered sobs, held the gigantic opera house and then, as the prima donna smiled sweetly and bowed, a storm of ap- plause broke. Cheer after cheer rang out. Flow- ers were showered upon the stage. Crys of “Encore! xx xx xx xx XX XI xk i k — xk — ■ Mk m Encore!” split the air. 1 looked at the prima donna and could have wept for joy. Before me bowing and smiling as sweetly as she had in C. H. S. days stood Lula May receiving the homage due her. After the storm of applause had ceased a name appeared on the back of the stage in gold letters. “Madamoiselle Fusselle.” Breathless, I waited. I heard some one whisper, “She’s been acknowledg- ed by Paderewski as his successor as world’s great- est pianist and everyone else says that she’s his superior, ”as a young lady walked out on the stage. Oh, that dainty air! Could I ever forget it? She music began. No one can describe it. It rose full and strong until it filled the whole room and one felt the exquisite vibrations. Then slowly it grew softer till it sounded like a soft breeze. As the music ceased and the musician stood to receive her deserv- ed tribute I recognized my old school mate, Lucille Fussel, our wonderful pianist in C. FI. S. days. “To think,” I sighed, “what wonderful homes my old friends must have.” No sooner had the words left my lips than I found myself outside a gorgeous building. A neat- ly engraved sign read: “Bachelor Girl Apartments.” “There,” whispered my guide, “There live your friends.” The strains of a waltz and the sound of many feet gliding over a floor fell tantalizingly on my ears. A worried voice kept saying: “one-two-three- four.” I opened my eyes. I was in an exquisitely ax X K ... -H K I K HK XK furnished room. It was evidently a dancing studio. A tall man, dressed in immaculate attire was trying to teach a young girl how to dance. He was work- ing hard trying to count loud enough to be heard above the chatter of his pupils. The couple whirl- ed and the teacher’s face was turned toward me. I gasped and stared incredulously. I couldn’t believe my eyes. Who would have thought in C. H. S. days that our quietest boy, Fred Kilgore, would ever be a celebrated dancer. Why was everyone so excited? People were running here and there. Suddenly a band began to play, I then realized that a parade was coming. “What is it for?” I asked my guide. “A friend of yours,” the spirit answered. He is a great political leader, the greatest power in the Senate, a man feared and respected by the whole world. Look upon him and see if you do not rec- ognize your school mate.” I looked and there, bowing and smiling, stood Paul Bolles. I wasn’t very much surprised for Paul always had been an expert bluffer. Again I stood in the Sybil’s cave. My tour was finished. “But my future,” I wailed!” May I not see my own future?” “Nay,” croaked the Sybil, “that I may not tell you. But I promise you it will be to your liking.” There my dream ended. ARDYS POPPLER, ’19. Hie Se O N FEBRUARY 17, 1919, the Seniors showed their appreciation of the faculty by giving them a really good feast. It seemed to help their feeling wonderfully, for there were no more scowls that day. At 12:30 sharp, every Senior made his way to the domestic science room, where the eats were stored. There was some little trouble in per- suading the boys to wait for the Faculty, but the delinquents soon arrived and everyone went to work very heartily. The girls of the class surely showed their ability as cooks. Olives, sandwiches, ice cream, cake and grapejuice were served, and the ice cream was es- nor Feast pecially acceptable. After the feast Prof. Reece gave a demonstration of his ability as an orator. He made a wonderful speech about everything in gen- eral and nothing in particular. But the lunch period was soon ended and we were sorry for once to see the Faculty leave. Being Seniors, the class was allowed to stay downstairs part of the afternoon and wash dishes. A few boys were not familiar with this task, so they were given am ple opportunities to learn the art. But all good things must come to an end, and the feast finally did, to the sorrow of all.

McMullen Harold Lamphere Charles Ker Archie Campbell Jasper Crowley Merle McKisson esley Ficht Frederick Hubbard Howard Moore Junior Class Poem I am going to try to tell you All that I know and a little more too, Concernig the pride and the success Of the Junior Class of the C. H. S. The first one to be mentioned is Wesley Ficht, Our class President who fights for the right. The Secretary of our class is Niles Ray, But he never keeps the minutes,! am sorry to say Frank Wiliamson is never hateful or rude, And he never wears the look of darkened solitude. Now Emory Pendarvis I will confess Is the best girl I know, more or less. Howard Moore has great ambitions impressed upon his brow, He means to be great in the future, but he’s only a Junior now. I believe if you were to search the wide world o’er You’ll never find a classmate like Hazel Moore. Elizabeth White, the truest friend the class ever knew, Her constancy we have tried and found her to be true. A girl like Sara Nelson is hard to find, I am sure she has no malice in her mind. Frederick Hubbard is among all the rest, And he’s our class musician, we must make manifest. D. T. McMullen is a credit to the school, He studies all the time and never breaks a rule. The next to be mentioned is Merle McKisson 1 don’t know much about him except in class he never listens. Jeanette Frost has always had a pleasing disposition, And she’s also considered a great musician. Charles Ker as you know is favored and honored by all, He is always in good humor, his friends are never numbered small. Thelma Nall is good-natured and full of fun, And her charming manners many friends have won. Birdie Tucker is a girl of courage, hope and truth, Her character has proved her to be a true and honored youth. Whatever position is assigned to Marguerite Woodell by fate, She gives forth all of her efforts and does not hesitate. F Jasper Crawley does not indulge in all the gayeties of school days, But we are all grateful to him, because of his pleasing ways. Marie Smith never looks with a face of scorn Upon those that are troubled, and those that mourn. Harold Lamphere, another member of our class, Has proved himself loyal in the days that have passed. Janey Martin, I must say, is full of joke and jest, She is considered among our classmates as one of the best. fbiK — ZXKZ K==ZHK HZHZXKZ -XK i Archie Campbell also belongs to our little band, And to all who wish to join us we give a wel- coming hand. Verletta Youngblood always does her share, t Toward the school and the class, with judicious care. This completes the roll of the honored Junior class That have made themselves notorious in the days past. L Vacation is now here, 1 have no more to tell, So I bid to one and all a fond farewell.. EVA MAE HUGHEY, ’20. ? x I Junior H S THINGS were happening rather slowly, the Juniors decided to have a grand blowout and wake things up a bit. It was planned to have the function in question at the home of Janey Martin, beyond Dunedin. Accordingly on the evening of April 1 I th, the pu- pils of that town were startled by the noise of six automobiles going rather beyond the speed limit and then by watching closely they were able to catch a fleeting glimpse of said cars. One old gen- tleman went so far as to call up the sheriff at Clearwater and tell him that some automobile bandits had just passed thru Dunedin but that the sheriff might cut them off at Jacksonville if he hurried. When the guests had all arrived safely it was found that there were approximately thirty-five persons present, this included a number of invited guests outside of the Junior class and a number of the faculty. As soon as all became settled games were start- ed. One of these was “D. B. F.” or “Don’t be Formal and anyone desiring an explanation of Party this game will please see our noble comrade Mr. Frank Williamson. Fortunes were told and many were surprised and a few dismayed at their pros- pects for the future. All was going well until Howard, in some manner got into the kichen and after eating three quarts of ice cream suddenly had an attack of acute indigestion and was carried home on a stretcher which was placed across the tonneau of his car. We do not feel that this is to his discredit, however, as we have often seen him get away with a gallon with no worse effects on him than a slight palpitation of the heart. Altogether a most enjoyable time was had by all and even Howard admitted that he was lucky to have lived thru his adventure and promised faithfully that he would never again try to make an ice cream freezer of himself. About midnight the guests decided to ramble homeward and so the cars and Lizzies, after being started and cranked, resumed their homeward jour- ney, to arrive in Clearwater in the wee-small hours of the morning.

It is the largest in the School, And o’er it they shall always rule. Our class is always at the head, And we, the Sophs, will not be led. We are first and always shall be, For our president is James Brumby. Our ’21 adorns the wall, The black-board, and the study hall. Our colors are the best of all, Where the envious eyes of the Juniors fall. Impossible is un-American is our creed, To it we ll be true in word and deed. Blue and White our colors are, And they lead the rest by far. Geneva — A student intense, in Math, a star, In wise supplication she leads us by far. Goette — A star in athletics, not so wise as a seer, But the best natured boy you’ll ever find here. Marjorie — Pretty and jolly and fond of the boys, A coquette tho, in her hands they’re mere toys. Newton — A funny boy, so deep and great, You wonder what is within his pate. Virginia — For smiles she is noted and thoughtful I say, If you don’t believe it, why ask her, you may. Jim — He loves to study and they’re times, too, He calls on the girls — but only a few. (?) Annette — Bright-eyed and brown haired, a most winning way, Well liked and gentle, you all need to say. Ezra — The force of his own merit, makes easy his way, And he’ll get there too, tho’ not in a day. Jessis — Indeed she is a shy, modest, dreamer, But in the wide world there’s to friends no truer; Paul — He is nice looking and dignified, And on him the smiles of the girls do glide. Dorothy — She s fond of the boys, a most graceful dancer, For all the boys she s a little entrancer. di:c 3UC 3t K H K — ' MK Y K XK sx vi� shots Edwin — He is one of our sporty men, But to his slowness there is no end. Vernal — She’s good and she’s careful, and true to her friends, And when she is wrong she makes quick amends Rudolph — He studies hard, a parson he’ll be, Earnest and faithful, hard-working, you see. Mildred — Small but graceful, wise and sweet, A sparkling wit, cute, petite. Wayne — A kinder boy treads not the earth, Say all who have known him since the day of his birth. Coletta — Loyal to friends,, ambitious and kind, And in music they say she is fine. Margaret — A wise and willful little maid, Quick and mirthful, sportive, staid. Eugene — A brave little Green Springs lad, Who in Caesar a talent had. Ann — Her beauty is all the rage. Especially in Chicago with John Gage. We have not room for all the rest, And some of them are the very best, Our place in the Annual is very small, So I must stop — and this is all. MARY PLUMB, ’21. Tlie Sophomore Party O NE OF the most enjoyable events of the year was the annual party given by the Sopho- mores in the Domestic Art room of the High School building. Among the guests of the evening were a few members of each of the other classes and the Faculty. The room was decorated in the C. H. S. colors, crimson and grey, and at one end of the room a booth was arranged where punch was served dur- ing the evening. Then the guests arrived in costumes, and at the first sound of music, rendered by the orchestra, all formed for the grand march. After that the games were started. “Tag” was played by a small girl and boy while the others looked on. During this the little girl lost her shoes and after a long search found them in the little boy’s pockets. The game ended when she decided he should have his punish- ment and gave him a spanking. By this time everyone was anxious to know who the other one was, so a large circle was form- ed for removing masks. There were many sur- prises, but greatest of all was the Faculty, which was composed of a small boy, two wild little girls, an old maid and a clown. After all had fully recovered from the shock, ice cream and cake were served by Sophomore girls costumed as waitresses. Later the guests were informed, by a little girl of the Faculty, that it was time for all to depart. The guests then left for their homes to dream of the many more good times they should have before their High School days were over.

H KZ 7 � C DJIC DOC History of the Freshman Class « i O N THE morning of September the sixteenth, nineteen hundred and eighteen, the veterans of Clearwater Grammar School who managed to squeeze through their examinations were on hand bright and early to welcome the new recruits to their class. Nearly twenty have been together for several years bearing each others burdens and making life cheerful and interesting for their teach- ers. Many states of the Union have been robbed of some of their most promising soldiers in order to join our ranks. We have all the qualities of first rate soldiers, for unlike most Freshmen classes we have never suffered from timidity, indeed our teachers tell us that in self confidence we quite equal the Seniors. Just as we were getting start- ed school was closed on account of influenza which put us back in our work and prevented many pleas- ant social events this year. Even though we are only Freshmen we have shown our ability in get- ting things done and have proved to be the “Legion of Honor” in winning the trophies of the year. Freshmen girls showed their genuine patrotism by raising more money for the United War Campaign Fund than any of the girls in the High School. Our class also won the prize picture granted for selling the most tickets at the art exhibit. We number seventeen girls and twenty-five boys. We hope our ranks will not be decreased during the summer furlough and all will report for duty at the opening of school next year.

Every Freshman was there except Dorothy Lapham, Mildred Gould, Ralph Snelson, and Candler Coachman, and all of the Faculty, with the exception of Miss McChesney and Miss Collver, both of whom we missed greatly. Upon arriving it was discovered that we were minus a pail for coffee, but this was soon remedied by a raid on the population of the village, in which we gained a heterogeneous collection of pans and pails and penny candy. Zabina, believing that a little excitement would serve as an appetizer, tried to show us some of Barny Oldfield’s latest stunts in turning corners, but succedded only in mixing Weyman Becker up with a barbed wire fence in such a manner that it was necessary for him to re- main in the car for the rest of the evening. There were actually enough weinies and we Annual Outing kept no account of them, except for Mr. Reece, who would not confess to more than a half dozen. Miss Seaver made some delicious coffee (Arbuck- les), and, as we were about to partake of it, she thought of refreshing a few sand-spurs. There- fore, we waited cheerfully ( ?) for another half hour. After we had had full benefit of the “eats,” everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves so well that we decided to have only one stunt, and that one very privately. Mr. Reece accepted a dare to eat a raw egg, and managed to do so very cleverly, by losing the white on the ground and the yolk on Jamie’s new suit, that he had nothing at all to eat. The party broke up about nine o’clock and the only thing left to mark our delightful evening was a trail of buns that came from a break in David’s “Ford.” ELEANOR F. GAGE, ’22.

H K= DJiC DUG The Glee Club HE VOCAL music in High School has been conducted in a different way from last year, more time being given to assembly singing in which every pupil in High School could join. The singing has been directed by Mrs. Hubbard with Misses Lucile Fussell and Jeanette Frost sharing the work of accompanist. The school as a chorus has contributed numbers on several occasions, par- ticularly at meetings of Literary Society. The “sings” are among the most enjoyable features of our school life. Many of the old standard choruses have been studied this year. Individual members of the High School have on numerous occasions been very generous with their talents and have ad- ded greatly to the attractiveness of programs by contributing musical numbers. We are very proud of our musicians. Several numbers are now in preparation for our commencement exercises; two of the most pleasing features of our last year’s program were a semi-chorus “Farewell! ye Groves and Pleasant Hills,” by Curschman, song by the girls, and a double number (a) “Last Night,” (b) “The Midshipmite,” sung by High School.

Nevertheless its pro- gress has been rapid under the capable direction of Mrs. J. R. Hubbard, who is well known as a music teacher all over the country. The first appearance of the Orchestra was at the Elson Art Exhibit, which was given for the ben- efit of the school. The Orchestra played four dif- ferent times at this exhibit and received many com- pliments on its selections. Many people were surprised at the unusual amount of talent found in such a small high school. The orchestra also played for the county school meet which was held in Clearwater, April 5th, and has rendered a number of pleasing selections at the High School Literary Society meetings. The con- cert given by the orchestra at the Senior class play and the commencement exercises were greatly en- joyed and added much to the evening’s program. NILES RAY, ’20.

The programs, which consist of vocal and in- strumental music, and original papers and recita- tions, are planned and conducted by the pupils. In this way they are enabled to speak with greater ease before an audience, to gain confidence and self-reliance, and to strive harder to become effi- cient in their work that they might furnish more enjoyable entertainments.

His feeble frame shook and a cold chill crept over his body, but still his stiffening fingers worked rap- idly. He realized that death was approaching be- fore he had finished his life’s work. Then Death was calling, and the old professor summoned his beloved sons, Ralph and Roderick. To them his last words were: “during my life 1 have labored that on my death I might leave you a fortune. All that 1 have lies here in this chest, and the worthy one shall find it. Several days had passed and Ralph, who was never without a goodly sum of spending money, went in search of the fortune. He descended the stairs and went into the room where his father had spent many years of his life. He went to the chest and anxiously lifted the heavy lid. There before him was the frame work of an old machine with many parts unfinished, and near it lay a well-worn note-book full of diagrams and rules. All of this he found uninteresting and began to think that his father’s fortune had been very small. Soon he heard many footsteps approaching and was rising in fright lest it should be Roderick, who would be angry in finding him alone searching for the for- tune. No sooner had he risen than he was attract- ed by a large leather bag in one corner of the chest. He quickly examined its contents and found that it held much wealth. Then without a moment’s de- lay he thrust it into his blouse, lowered the lid and was slipping from the room by a rear entrance just as Roderick apeared in the doorway. Roderick stood for sometime as if in a deep meditation. His sunken eyes and sad expression showed that he had experienced a great sorrow, but the sight that he had seen made his sorrow much greater. He approached the chest and sank down before it. For hours he remained almost motionless, finally night came and even morning found him there. Then at last he arose and in a deep voice mut- tered, “money makes a fool of the wise man. The worthy one shall find it.’’ Again the heavy lid was lifted and Roderick fell on his knees before the chest. He carefully DiKZ DiKZ ZXIC = MC DiJC DilC DiKl DtKZ — MK 3JKI IHiC 3iKI IHIC 3JKI 3JJC 3UC 31 k: examined all of its contents and then began a search of the note-book. Noon came and again the evening, but still he read and deciphered the wonderful work which he had discovered. Never before had he found anything so interesting. He scarcely ate his meals nor noticed difference be- tween night and day, but worked on, completing and placing together the many parts of the machine Days passed, weeks, and even months and at last he descended from the room and went out in- to the open air. He was then a man, older and much wiser. He saw all things in a new light, a creative light, and realized for the first time what was meant by accomplishment. He was an in- ventor. Roderick soon secured a patent on what proved to be the most wonderful invention of his time, but before many duplicates had been made he re- ceived word from his brother, who had been im- prisoned in a far off country. Then he realized and never forget that wealth as a gift will never end in a fortune, but wealth which is earned will always be one. EDITH COMPTON, ’19. The Hero of the Chicken Coop BY JAMES BRUNDY, ’21 HE DEW dropped with little pats like the tick of a clock thru the trees and under-growth where I was standing. The sun, just peeping over the edge of Mallory’s hill, made the mist in the lit- tle valley turn all the colors of the rainbow, and the windows of the “gym’’ of Bradford hurled out fiery shafts given them. From my place in the little oak wood I could see the chicken yard of Mr. Mallory, a rather well- to-do but old-fashioned farmer, living near the school I attended, Bradford. The chicken coop was this side of the barn and hidden from the house so we felt reasonably safe. Those present were Charlie Maon, a Freshman, who was sitting behind me, my chum Tom Martin, a Junior, and the fourth person was Joe Kennedy, a Senior, and also our room-mate. Tom was by the chicken yard fence on the outside and Joe was most conspicuously pres- ent in the chicken coop, which fact being promi- nently proved by a loud squawk issuing from the said coop. This was followed immediately by some words from Joe that would’nt have been en- dorsed by a S. S. teacher. Instantly a large slight- ly past middle-aged man, with a beard, and tortoise DiKZ xtc x: S � K V U M lf y.K xtc 1 Cl XKZ XK XK XK XK shelled spectacles, darted from the barn and grab- bed Joe by the collar just as he stepped out of the door of the coop. “Ah ha! I have you my man,” he roared as he caught Joe. T’ve been laying for you for a long time but I didn’t think 1 would have the good luck to catch you here in broad daylight.” Then he stopped in amazement as he looked over the rim of his specs and recognized Joe. “What!!” he bellowed in a towering rage. Do you mean to tell me that you have been hang- ing around my house for the past two years and me treating you decent and even friendly and then you come sneaking around here at night stealing my chickens.. It was a mighty fine covering pre- tending to be my friend so 1 would never suspect you. And I didn’t.” He glared at Joe and his eyes snapped fire. Then as Joe started to say something he quickly interrupted him. “Go!” he thundered shaking poor Joe like a dead rabbit. ’Go quickly before I really lose my temper.” And needless to say Joe went, being assisted in his start by the toe of Mr. Mallory’s boot. He came crashing thru the bushes and I darted behind a tree just in time to escape being smashed. As he saw me he tumbled head long and sat panting by the tree I was behind. “Guess we’d better be getting back to break- IK X K X KZ M ie n KK XK XK UK fast, don’t you think?” drawled a quiet voice at our side and Tom popped his head out of the bushes. “Wouldn’t be a bit surprised,” I returned dry- ly as I poked my head up cautiously for observa- tion. But Mr. Mallory had shut the chicken coop door and gone into the house. So we started back to school. Poor little Char- lie began crying on the way back. “It was all my fault,” he sobed to Joe, “and I’m going right to Mr. Mallory and tell him so. Why I just can’t let you be blamed and have Mary think that of you. I can’t,” and he moaned again as he thought of Mr. Mallory, for if there was any- one in the world he feared it was him. He had once been caught in the farmer’s apple orchard, sent there by some Sophs and had had a shot gun pulled on him, so ever since then he had steered clear of that farm. “No you are not,” said Joe smiling slightly when he thought of how the little fellow would tremble in his boots as he faced the farmer to ex- plain. “We will just let things alone till and he stopped grimly. “They had better,” he remarked and I thought so too. Joe, Tom, Charlie and I roomed in the Dormi- tory B, a famous dormitory at Bradford, because it had been the abode of all the heroes and stars of the past and probably would be in the future. As for the present it held one of the greatest stars in i k K = r mt — k the history of the school, for Joe Kennedy was one of those kind of heroes whose name and fame live on in the halls of Bradford long after he passed from them. He was a wonder on the gridiron, first base and backbone of the nine, the farthest shot-put thrower in our school league and eighth rower and captain of the Alpha Phi Fraternity, chairman of the students Honorary Club, and pres- ident of the Senior class. He was a good student and an all round good fellow, as it was well known that he could provide more chickens in less time than anyone else for a Fraternity pilau. But such an absurdity, going into his prospective father-m- law’s chicken coop was never dreamed of by them. And soon the honored Joe was a joke around the school altho it was never mentioned before him. How it became known no one was aware unless someone saw the incident. The Seniors of his Fraternity were inclined to guy” him about it at first but when one of his friends demanded why he did it he only shook his head and remarked, “It will all be explained in time.” But finally Joe tired of being a joke and wait- ing for somebody to admit their crime. There- fore one night he left us in the study and went down to the doctor’s office. When he came back he seemed much relieved. “I think the Doctor can fix it up,” he said in answer to our query. k xic XK x: X K H K XK XK XK XI XK XK The next morning in chapel the Doctor finish- ed making the announcements and then said: “There was a certain initiation in this school the other night which has gotten several people in- to trouble. I want all those persons included in any way in the affair to please come to my office immediately after chapel. And so at last it was settled. The Sophs, five in number, came to the office and admitted that they had taken poor little Charlie out to initiate him and in the course of the initiation he was forced to visit Mr. Mallory’s chicken coop. After he had started back to where the boys were in the woods, farm dogs had set up an awful hub-bub and they had taken to their heels.” The Doctor then told them that we three boys, Joe, Tom and 1 were out on our morning hike when we came upon Charlie sitting in a stump hole not knowing what to do with the chicken because he was too honest a little fellow to let it go for fear that it would get lost and he didn’t dare to go back into the barnyard to take the chicken. So the Sophs (they can be human sometimes) because they had started all the rum- pus, agreed to go to Mr. Mallory to apologize and explain. That evening I went as far as the old crab-ap- ple tree with Joe and stood in the dusk watching him. I wasn’t far away so I could see them also. Mr. Mallory sat on the front porch watching = :iC :xic XK xk y XK ' MK X K- Joe as he slowly approached the steps. Then De- fore Joe had gotten near enough to say good even- ing, Mr. Mallory spoke. “Good evening young man. I’m glad to see you. But why didn’t you come around to the front door and give me the chicken and tell me where and how you got it?’’ Joe came on to the bottom step and then ans- wered, “Because under the circumstances it would have meant a lot of explaining, and there’s nothing I hate like explaining.’’ “And there’s nothing you like as well as dough- nuts, 1 understand,’’ he chuckled. “Well all I can say is I’m sorry I was so short tempered. When I thought afterwards I wondered why I didn’t stop to think that you were coming out of the chicken house and not in and that you had no chicken. Well, anyway, I guess you know the way to the XK kitchen. If not follow your nose to those dough- nuts. I guess Mary’s somewhere near them and probably you will soon be nearer them.’’ And he rocked back in his chair and smiled as Joe passed into the house, and with that I left. II Joe is on the way back from France now. He was an aviator and was wounded while fighting to save a French comrade. It was a glorious fight but Joe’s plane was hurled from the clouds and he was thought to be killed. But he has recovered at last and was discharged and is coming home be- cause he was disabled. He has nine enemy planes to his credit, the Legion of Honor, and the D. S. S. Also he has a name for being able to grab more Germans out on patrol than anyone else. I guess Joe got his practice among the chicken coops around Bradford. x I K M K — M AH «W - IK— Basket Ball S Y ASKET BALL featured a “come back” after the rather disastrous season of 1917. Coach Thompson worked a wonder with an inexperienc- ed squad by turning out the lightest quintet in South Florida, a team that defeated Clearwater’s most respected rivals, Largo and St. Petersburg. That the Crimson and gray did not win a larger percentage of games is due to the fact that it was playing a schedule clearly above any former sche- dule of this school. Although four veterans of the year before were back our fifth place was hard to fill, for the team was dependent on its old standby, Harn. After a few minor games the season opened with Tarpon at Clearwater. This game was a fight on both sides from the toss up. The Crim- son and Gray led the score until the last five min- utes of play, two unusual shots won the day for Tarpon, 22-24. The first victory for C. H. S. was scored over Tarpon in a rather slow game, 6-17. Tarpon play- U K X KZ ‘ason 1918-19 ed its usual bulldog game and Clearwater had to call upon all its resources to avenge the defeat of the week before. The following game was also a grand victory for C. H. S. winning from Largo by a score of 9-7 in a fast and exciting game. Our return game with Tarpon would be hard to name basket ball or foot ball. It was a wild but exciting game, and every student of C. H. S. un- derstands how the winning 4 points were made by Tarpon in the last few minutes. The next day we were entrapped in Largo s famous mud court and beaten 37-13. The Crimson and Gray won a lasting victory from St. Petersburg in the following week, 1 2-8. Never before in the history of C. H. S. basket ball has this been done. Southern College team were our next oppo- nents and this game proved to be undoubtedly the best of the schedule. Although Southern won, 20-17 by two unusual shots in the last minute of XX =-� KZ ZZT3 K H KZIZ1 - X K=ZZZDHC play, the game was very fast and clean, showing marked skill in field basket shooting. The following game with Largo was played in the rain on a very slippery floor. Again we lost in the last few minutes of play, 27-24. The last contest of the season on our schedule, 2d played with Hillboro at Clearwater and a hard fight was put up on both sides. This game was mark- ed by the fine work of Hubbard and Blanton in stopping Hillsboro’s shooting. Never before has the Crimson and Gray made such a showing against Hilsboro, the state champions. K XK XK XK XK X K X K XK XK ,K a pc CHARLES IvER CHARLES KER He did not make a regular birth on the team but Charles was the most accurate basket shooter we could boast of. Ever enthusiastic and loyal to the team, we certainly expect to see Charles on the “regulars’’ next year. Those who know him ad- mire his pleasing disposition both on and off the court. EDWIN ROUSSEAU At center we have tall, lean Edwin Rousseau. Altho inexperienced he proved a valuable man at center, and when taken sick with the flu his worth was very evident. By next year he will be a veteran at the pivot position and great things are expected of him. EDWIN ROUSSEAU MAURICE BLANTON Ml KICKS 111, WTO X Maurice played regularly at left guard and at the beginning of the year no one ever knew that he was a basket ball player. The coach found him among the green material and soon discovered he had ' ‘some find.” Altho inexperienced he was one of the best guards in the country and even tho he was small, he made the best of the work to score. FRED HUBBARD, Captain Capt. Hubbard was a unanimous selection to guide the destinies of the 1918-1919 team and no better selection could have been made. A steady hard working guard was he and many a visiting forward’s hopes have been disappointed thru his efforts. XK X GEORGE SEI.BY IXK M I T- M IC XK XK GEORGE SELBY When Rousseau was taken sick with the flu the coach called for volunteers and no other than George appeared as candidate for the pivot posi- tion. At center he easily made good and is enti- tled to wear the coveted C. George graduates this year and will not be with us again. GOETTE FUSSELL Goette secured a regular birth on the team and made many a basket possible by his advance of the ball from the opponent’s goal. Even if his name is Goette it is hard for the visiting teams to butt him around. He will be back next year so the prospects for a good team should be excellent. KZ XK= DOC DOC doc DOC DOC DOC PRANK WILLIAMSON FRANK WILLIAMSON Frank was the best basket ball player on the squad and we feel that if a South Florida team was picked his name would appear on it.

Until the date of publication C. H. S. has play- ed nine games, winning seven and losing only two. The opening game played in Clearwater with St. Petersburg High was an easy victory for the Crimson and Gray, 9 to 3. Since this game C. H. S. has been playing from two to three games each week, easily taking off the cup in the most of them. The most exciting game of the season was Southern College at Clearwater, Southern, playing in good form, made C. H. S. work hard for every run made. Unusual hitting in the ninth won the day for the Crimson and Gray, 1 0 to 9. Unlike the 1918-19 Basketball squad, the base- ball veterans always ended a few points ahead rather than behind. With eight of the squad back next year and under the able management of Coach Thompson, the Coach that has obtained the highest respect from every student, it will be impossible to fall short of the state championship in baseball.

The teacher’s voice breezed through the air, It fell on my ears though not unaware, For she had sight so keen and strong That she could follow even the flight of song. Three hours later, in the office bright, I found the principal and told him my plight. And who would have thought from such a small deed, He’d have the heart to give me my leave.

I breathed the truth into the air, It fell quite flat nearly everywhere; For who in these days cares, forsooth, For a thing as stale as the simple truth? For long months afterwards, Oh! how long!

One day he whistled aloud in school and his teacher asked how he hap- pened to do it. Ezra said: “I — 1 — didn’t mean to. 1 had a little air in my mouth and 1 wanted to push it out. 1 didn’t know it was going to make a noise. Anette and Mildred were engaged in a game of brag. Having exhausted other subjects, they be- gan on memory. “I can remember,” boasted Annette, “clear back to when 1 was born.” “Uuh,” grunted Mildred disdainfully. “I c’n ’member back to when God said: ‘Now stand up Mildred, and be a good girl and let me put your eyes in.” “Ma! ma!” bawled Freddy, as the usual morn- ing wash was going on. “Do my ears belong to my face or my neck?” Ma temporized, “Why, What’s the matter?” I want it decided now. Every time you tell sis- ter to wash my face or my neck she washes my ears too. Why is a game of tenis like a party of children? There is always a “racket.” James B. has been found to be the most polite boy in the High School. When Emma apologized for gouging him in the eye with a parasol he said: “Don’t memtion it, I have another one.” Miss Seavers, who had been telling the class of the discovery of America by Columbus, ended it with: “And all this happened more than four hundred years ago.” Hugh Jones said after a moment’s thought: “Gee! what a memory you’ve got.” Papa,” wrote Ardys, “I have become infatuat- ed with calisthenics.” “Well, Ardys,” replied the father, “if your heart’s sot on him I haven’t a word to say, but 1 always did hope you’d marry an American.” Man’s hair turns gray before woman’s.
