Though “Dot’ never hurries she is always right on hand when her help is needed. She is noted for her artistic ability and her ease in getting out of scrapes with the teachers. Cleanor (Bage Eleanor is one of those people whose studiousness does not interfere with having a big time, for she is taking the High School course in three years, and still laughs quite as often as some of the old timers. tlarjorie (Tor5ier Marjorie is one of those live wires of the Class of ’21, being in almost every movement of the school or class. We are very proud of her vocal talents and it is hard to tell what C. H. S. would do without her. Thirteen Sybn y larger Sydney is in a way remarkable. He can be funny or dignified, ignorant or wise, romantic or stolid, it is merely a matter of choice. Stanley (Tornwell Stanley is another live wire in all class doings. Her energy seems to be inexhaustible. She is quite musical, and being a good dancer and of a friendly disposition, she is quite pop- ular. Popular, noisy, cheerful and ener- getic is Newton. He holds two offices in the class, and though he is quite ra- pacious in quest of practical know- ledge, what’s within the covers of a text-book is not likely to worry him.

Lou Ella is a good-natured and un- commonly reserved sort of girl who is a good student and an interesting con- versationalist. Sumner “My love is like a red, red rose.” Though few appreciate being small, Mildred doesn ' t seem to mind it. She also possesses that rare quality to be able to enjoy life and still make credit- able marks. A long, tall girl whom everyone likes for her ways is Mildred. She hasn ' t usually much to say except to those whom she likes — and she doesn’t as a rule like teachers. We are very proud of her musical talents and believe she will make friends wherever she goes. Sixteen oette TFussell “A man’s a man for a’ that.” Goette is indeed a man’s man, and a good athlete. He is not as a rule seri- ous, but if he says he’ll do a thing he never fails. He is very popular, espe- cially with the fair sex. 3 utl) £as terlin “Tears never yet wound up a clock or worked a steam engine.” Ruth is decidedly optimistic in most matters and readily perceives the funny side of life. She could laugh at the devil himself, but she can also show serious mental effort as shown by her recitations in physics.

Mary is quite a poet and violinist, so, instead of the old adage, we will say, “Mary had a little violin.” ; Eighteen Mlamie Clla Osborne “There is no substitute for thorough-going, ardent and sincere earnestness.” Mamie Ella is a happy, earnest, stu- dious, entertaining and fun-loving girl, one that is always an addition to any gathering. She can be very serious if need be. Oom ranning Tom is a happy-go-lucky, friendly, humorous fellow whom everyone likes.

Nineteen .udolpb ttorton “There is a great end to gain, and that I keep before me.” Rudolph is a friendly, quiet and reserved sort of boy who makes friends and keeps them. Besides be- ing a very good scholar, he is well up on modern affairs and very ambitious. (Blairs 3iirk “If I do my duty I do what I ought and do no more than all the rest.” Gladys is a very independent but friendly sort of girl, who is well liked by those who know her best but rather puzzling to those who know her not so well. She is, however, always ready to do her part. yiuth) TJktt Ruth is a dark-eyed and dark-haired bundle of independence who has a smile and a cheery greeting for all who come her way.

He will un- doubtedly attain whatever success he sets his mind on. Twenty-one Virginia (Tox Though Virginia has only been with us one year she has been ever loyal to the class, and won the respect of every member in it. She is always able and willing to do her part. .Annie 4Davi$ Annie is a charming, easily-pleased and obliging young lady. Her zealous work in behalf of the class and the school has assured her of a place in the memories of the members of the Class of 21 . Ufomer Rigsby Iiomer is without doubt the quietest boy in the class. He is well liked by everyone who knows him and is ever loyal to the class. Twenty-two Senior (Hass IHistory E, the Seniors of the Clearwater High School, think we had the most eventful as well as the most interesting history of any class in previous years. Entering the high school in the fall of 1917, we have toiled and labored through four long years. It seemed to us as we entered the study hall on that never to be forgotten first day of our high school career that we were at last to realize our dreams. The faculty were very kind to us at first, and gave us a small por- tion of Latin and Algebra until we were able to feed ourselves. We felt very proud of our first report cards, but not so our parents, since they advised us gently but firmly to burn the midnight oil. However, we all slipped through the Freshman year very creditably and looked forward with not a little anxiety but with great expectations to our second spasm. During our Freshman year the Sophomores very kindly condescended to give us a party, and though they were rather superior to us, showed us a very good time. Our class was well represented in athletics as well as other high school doings that first term. The second time we climbed the stairs to the study hall we felt none of our old shyness as in the previous year, but had the feeling that we had come up in the world, and could now look down on anything in the shape of a freshman, or freshwoman, either one. But we found that we would have to come down from our lofty height since the Seniors were not in symoathy with our attitude. We lost very few members of the old class during the freshman year and so felt very proud of our ’21 assembly. In our Soph, year we settled down to work at once, or- ganized a class, elected Jim Brumby president and began to do things. We had for our motto, “Impossible is Un-American,” and believe me we lived up to it too. We helped in all the high school affairs and were represented in athletics by several of the members of our class. Dur- ing our Soph, term we gave the Freshies a party and also had a party of our own. Again we looked forward with pleasure to the time when we should enter the portals of C. H. S. as Juniors. On our return to the happy hunting grounds at the beginning of the year we found some few new recruits, but missed Jim, our president; Annette Griffin, Norman Allen and Paul Moore. Although our class was crippled without the presence of these loyal members, we managed to do big things in our Junior year. Edwin Posser made a very capable Twenty-three mum m m rye president, always doing his part of the work and boosting the class. We m ;?W were again represented in athletics and orchestra. We gave the Seniors a memorable reception and when called upon to decorate the court room for Commencement complied by getting the very best deco- rations possible and within reach of our pocketbooks. We all passed from our Junior year and hoped for big things in our last and best year in C. H. S. When we returned for our last and best year in C. H. S. we were sorry to hear of the loss of one of our loyalest members, Elizabeth Hoyt, but we found several new recruits who proved to be very good classmates and loyal members of the class of ’21. They were Stanley Cornwell, Zelwyn Graham, Homer Rigsby, Ruth Jett and Virginia Cox. At the beginning of the year our class had an enrollment of thirty-five, which gradually dwindled down until we graduated twenty-eight strong, the biggest Senior class that ever left Clearwater High. We began to work and plan for the future as soon as we were used to the daily routine. We elected Newton president, with Gene as vice-president, and started things humming. Our president ordered class rings, invitations for graduation, and in November the annual staff were elected, seven of whom came from the Senior class. We gave several parties during the year, the Class Play, the Carnival and were well represented in athletics as usual. After the dust from the play had cleared we started preparations for a Class Day and Commencement program. With pleasant thoughts of the past four years’ work and play and with a hope for as pleasant a future, we, the Seniors of dear old C. H. S., on the eve of our commencement, do present this history to you, hop- ing that it will meet with your approval. m EZRA YOUNG ’ 21 . Twenty-four Senior (Hass jp r0 Pb ec r O NE hot day in July as I was traversing a dusty road thinking of my classmates in dear old C. H. S., and wondering what had become of all of them, I heard the quiet ripple of what I believed to be a small brook near the road. Feeling very hot and tired I climbed the rick- ety rail fence which separated me from the fringe of trees bordering the brook. To my surprise, after passing through the fringe of trees, I found a rather wide cool water stream, bordered by a ledge of rock, which Twisted in and out through the woods away into the distance. I then recalled a conversation I had overheard the day before concerning this very same place. It seemed that directly out from and also under this ledge of rock there was a very deep hole, in fact, no swimmer had ever yet found the bottom of it. The general as well as prevailing idea was that a subterranean river ran into the stream at right angles. Being very hot and tired, as well as consumed with curiosity, I decided to take a plunge into the cooling water. Discarding my garments and hanging them on a nearby tree, I took a position on the ledge of rock preparatory to taking my plunge. With a final drawing in of my breath I dove as near as possible into the middle of the inviting pool. When down perhaps fifteen feet I felt a terrible undertow at my feet, I became suddenly dazed, my body became, it seemed, paralyzed, and mv eves suddenly popped open and I saw an immense gate in front of me. toward which some unknown power seemed to be drawing me. On coming closer, the heavy portal opened, giving me a view of one of the most beautiful forests I had ever seen. On a knoll well into the back- ground and higher than the rest of the landscape stood a magnificent throne. On it sat a much-berobed and sparkling personage, who made a motion for me to co me toward him. “I am the Prince of the ' Future,” he spoke in a loud and ringing voice. What would you know?” At first I was dazzled by this great prince and his finely dressed attendants, but finding my voice at last I said: “Good Prince of the Future, T would know what the Seniors of Clearwater High school of nineteen twenty-one will be doing twenty years hence.” “Come,” said the great Prince, “we will go.” It seemed as if a great mist hindered my vision. T heard hoarse commands being given, the mist suddenly cleared and we were on the deck of a great battleship. Men were scurrying here and there in response to orders given from the bridge, but who was that pacing the deck toward us? I should know that familiar long stride and swing of the arms. Why, it was mv old friend and classmate, Eugene Thomas, of course, and to think that his dream had actually come true. He was captain of this immense battleship. However, before I could get a chance to speak to my old school- mate and chum, some unknown power seemed to whisk us off the deck of the ship. I closed my eyes in fear of what might happen this time and wondered whom I would see next. We seemed to sail through the air for quite awhile, when T heard the most beautiful low music Twenty-five coming nearer and nearer to us all the time. I heard a chuckle at my side and a command to open my eyes. We were seated in an immense opera house. Thousands of people on all sides of us were held spell- bound by the wonderful strains of a famous violinist. When the artist had finished her recital the thousands of hearers who had a moment before been silent suddenly showered the artist with flowers and en- cored her. Not until she bowed and smiled did I recognize Mildred Hayes. I knew she would become a great violinist some time, because when in high school she played well in the orchestra and was faithful in practice. Again the scene shifted and the Prince and I found ourselves seated in an immense assemblage. Tt seemed a great political rally was being held and that the governor of Florida was to be the next speaker on the program. The man now speaking on the stage was evidently the chair- man of the meeting, and he finished his talk by announcing the next speaker as the governor. The hearers broke into cheer after cheer for the latter personage, and in the midst of their demonstration a tall, handsome and dignified-looking personage whom T had not noticed be- fore rose and with a smile started his speech. T thought I was familiar with that statelv bearing, but when he smiled I was sure of it; it was Newton, of course, and to think that he was the head of the entire state of Florida. I heard someone next to me remark: “Isn’t he a handsome man. but bow could lie help but be with such a fine wife.” I felt like agreeing with her on the handsome part, but it was the first I had heard of his being married. When T again shifted my gaze to the stage what was mv surprise to see Dorothy Lee seated next to the chairman as the guest of honor. She indeed looked the part of a governor’s wife, and showed the pride she felt for her famous husband. The next scene was lai d in Iowa, where nestled a very pretty cottage and farm. My guide and I admired the well-kept fence rows, the pretty fields and the home surrounded by immense oaks. On entering the front gate what was my surprise to see Sydney and Mildred sitting on the front steps chatting as they had done in the high school days, but probably about plans for their farm and the edu- cation of their children, who were at that moment playing hide-and-go- seek. rather than of old school days. We next found ourselves in an immense ball park. It was the de- ciding game of the World’s series, plaved between New York and Cleveland. Looking at the score board I discovered it to be the last of the ninth inning with the score a tie. two outs on the New Yorkers, who were then to bat. and with one strike on the batter. From the distance at which we were sitting from home plate I could not get a good look at the batter until he turned to flash his smile at the fans, and then, of all things, it was Goette Fussell. a big-leaguer, and it was up to him Ooette Fussell. the one-time catcher of Clearwater’s PTigh School — to hit that Dill and run. His grin of determination assured the fans of the fact. He fouled the second ball that came over, and then the pitcher, with one ball to throw to keep the score, threw a curve right across the plate. Somewhere a band is playing and somewhere hearts are gay, but Twenty-six there was no joy in Cleveland, for Fussell, the star right fielder of Ne York, had knocked the cover off the ball. We next visited a famous art studio, where row after row of draw- ings and paintings were disclosed to our view. I wondered what a gallery of this kind would have to do with any of niv C. H. S. class- mates, and then the mystery was solved. I heard someone next to me say: “See, there is the drawing that won the first prize, done by the most famous artist in America. Her name was Bishop before she was married.” It was indeed a wonderful piece of art, and I was very proud to think that “Dot,” as she was known by her classmates, had won first prize. I next heard a feminine voice setting forth her idea of a certain bill which was before the Senate. On looking up I was forced to suppress a yell of delight when I saw standing before me addressing that great assemblage of men and women, none other than Eleanor Gage, and doing it just as if she was talking to the Senior class back in the old days. Eleanor always was interested in politics, and so I knew that bill would become a law. Why was everything so still in this building? I soon discovered the reason for it. We were entering a hospital ward. Walking down between the rows of beds on which lay those who were suffering from some disease or waiting to undergo an operation, or perhaps getting over the effects of one who should I see but Margaret Jacobs, whom I later discovered w s t e head nurse, and why, there were Louise Sweat and Marv PLmb. her very efficient assistants. Passing on through the ward, we entered the spacious operating room, where everything seemed very still and death-like. We heard an assistant to the head surgeon, who was bending over the patient on the operating table, say that there was one chance in a thousand for the man to live. “Tf it is possible,” he said, “Doctor Morton will save his life; he has done some wonderful things, you know.” We tip-toed out, not wanting to disturb them, but T heard later that Doc. Morton did pull him through, and T was proud of my old chum and classmate. It seemed next as if we were in a great department store where one could hear the rustle of skirts and the constant chatter of clerks and customers. Over in one corner a short, rather heavy-set man was talk- ing to several of the clerks as if he was manager of the establishment, probably giving them orders for the day’s work. He suddenly turned awav from the counter and walked toward us, and I was indeed glad to see Homer Rigsby. In another part of the store I found Mervvn Crowe and Gladys Kirk in charge of the millinery department of this great es- tablishment. I was indeed glad to know that they held such fine posi- tions. knowing that they were very capable back in High School days. The next scene before us was a famous tea-room, not far from one of our biggest cities, and outside, painted artistically, were these words: “The S Curve Tea-Room.” On entering I was very glad to see Cecile Warren and Mamie Ella in charge. It seemed Cecile had married a certain Junior boy she used to like pretty well, and they had made their money and settled down on this place. They had gotten tired of the monotonous farm life and had started the tea-room. They m rw had taken Mamie Ella into partnership with them, and I was glad to know they were making good. We were again in a famous opera house. ’Mid hand-clapping and much applause the curtain rose for the encore of a well known pianist. The great house was suddenly hushed by the entrance of the artist, whom I at once recognized as Marjorie Cordier, our pianist of High School days. She played to the hearts of her audience ; starting like a gentle brook the music swelled into a stream and finally a torrent of the most beautiful and awe-inspiring notes I believe I have ever heard. When she had finished her recital she received the applause of every hearer, and a call of “Encore !” rang throughout the house. However, the next number on the program was placed before us and as the curtain rose it disclosed the dazzling brilliance of the season’s most brilliant prima donna. That wonderful voice rose full and strong until it filled the whole room with its clearness, then slowly it grew softer and softer until it reminded me of a quiet breeze. When the last note had died away the great opera house broke into cheer after cheer for the great singer, and not until she stepped gracefully up to the front of the stage to receive the floral tributes and make her bow could I seem to realize fully that this great prima donna was Stanley. We were watching the construction of a great subway in the down- town section of New York. It had been in the papers for weeks, I heard a man next to us say, and the work was under the very competent control of Consulting Engineer W. A. Smith. I knew at once this must be my old chum and classmate, Wayne Smith, and was glad his dream of becoming a great engineer some day had come true. I heard the strains of a near-by orchestra, and being curious to know what was happening, I entered the room, a dancing studio, and there in all his dignity and tallness was Tom Branning, instructing his class in the latest steps, and teaching some would-be waltzers how to get the right swing. I had no trouble recognizing him, as he looked the same as in High School days. % The next one of the class to come before me was Ruth Jett, who held a position as head stenographer in a law office not far from the central part of a large American metropolis. On entering the office we could tell it was her bv her quick way and bearing, also that ever-present smile. We were away up on the Blue Ridge mountains, far from the noise of the citv. and had been noticing signs reading toward a famous sani- tarium. On arriving here to stay and look over the place, I read this over the entrance: “Mountain Breeze Sanitarium, Davis Graham, Managers.” Of course I knew at once it must be Annie and Zelwyn, and knew that thev would become famous. We had traveled many miles and were now down out of the moun- tains speeding across the desert to the more fertile ranges beyond, where we found an immense ranch consisting of rolling acres of fertile m rw mm®- Twenty-eight m timbered land dotted with cattle. Sitting on the front porch of the ranch house were my old classmate, Jessie, and her husband, who was manager of the ranch. With them lived Lou Ella Easterlin and her husband also, who was a partner of Jessie’s husband. Of course, we can guess who they married. I lie Prince and I were by this time very tired and since we were near the end of our journey we decided to have something to eat and rest a few moments. Going into a community cafeteria conducted by the women of the town I was indeed glad to find Ruth and Geneva in charge, and knew I would get a good meal. Our journey was now ended and we were back again with the rest of the Prince’s court. Although I was very weary I knew I must listen to what the Prince had to say. “I have decided,” he said, to make you Prince of the Future, since I am going away on a long journey, perhaps never to return.” He advanced toward me, removed his crown spark- ling with jewels, and made as if to place it on my head. I became sud- denly dazed, blinked my eyes three times and came to with a start, to find Rudolph bending over me with a worried look on his otherwise sunny visage. Why,” I said, “Doctor Morton; thought you were in the hospital performing a serious operation,” and then I realized that it had all been a dream and discovered that the dive had not been carried out as T had expected, but that I had taken my plunge in shallow water, had been knocked senseless when I hit the bottom, and brought around by Rudolph. However, the dream had been a pleasant one, and the Seniors of C. H. S. seemed fresh in my memory once more. EZRA YOUNG ’21. Senior (Tlass 4 oem The golden light of our high school days, Is slowly fading from us, But through the mists of coming years There brightly gleams a promise. We are to sail on an untried sea, And know not what luck will bring us, But things we’ve learned we’ll not forget Wherever fate may fling us. From this dear old place to other halls, Our various duties call us; But we’ve a memory to cherish dear Whatever may befall us. The rainbows of the future, And the splendors of that day, Cannot erase a picture, painted In the crimson and the gray. And thoughts of all the joys you gave us Will then our journey light us, We’ll gather strength from these past years, And let no fortune slight us. But cast upon life’s billows deep, Where all the waters foaming, Dreams of you will guide us safely, And we’ll anchor in the gloaming.

RUTH JETT ’21. Thirty- two 1 Senior-Junior jpart? O NE of the greatest events that we Seniors of ’21 “pulled off” this year was the party we gave the Junior Class at the home of one of our prominent members, Annie Davis. Her home is down on the bay, where there is always a wonderful breeze off the gulf. Because of this, and the fact that there is a nice, big, grassy lawn, it was an ideal place for our party. The chaps, were the members of the Faculty and Mr. McMullen. When the guests arrived they found the lawn and large porch beautifully decorated with Japanese •lanterns. They were first served delicious fruit punch and then several games were played. And last, but by no means least, the refreshments were served. These consisted of cake and pineapple sherbet. After a very enjoyable evening the guests departed just as the “wee small hours” of morning were beginning. JESSIE GRANT, ’21.

H. S. than the Class of ’22. Not only green in ways, but also in dress, though we did not think anyone would judge us to be so green, so we were well labeled. Nevertheless, we soon became used to our “superiors” (?) and found they were human also. Many things we accomplished, and “folks just had to sit up and take notice.” For we try always to succeed in whatever we undertake. A great many parties were given but pleasures were not the only goal we sturdy Freshmen sought. The masterpiece, “The Coming of the White Man,” we left in memory of our freshie year, after competing with the rest of the high schools and winning in a contest. When September rolled around again very dignified (?) full fledged Sophomores began another year of toil (?), many old familiar faces having vanished and new ones there instead. Teasing the Freshies became one of the main sports. But we kind- hearted Sophs remembered we were once greenies and relented, entertaining them with a never-to-be-forgotten (?) party. Parties of all descriptions reigned — even to a “pie feast” the girls gave in honor of the Soph boys. They so appreciated it, a raid was made at about cS :;30 o’clock, which caused quite a “ruff house.” However, the pies were well paid for and the proceeds given toward the High School picnic. The girls and Miss Hall founded for C. H. S. its first cafeteria, which proved to be a great success and a benefit to every one, entertaining at the close of the year in honor of the Faculty with a very formal dinner. Another star in the girls’ crown was the success of a delightful lit- tle comedy they gave, entitled “Sophronia’s Wedding.” Our boys won great fame for our class in athletics and deserve a great deal of credit. Once again we enter the doors of old C. H. S., beginning a new year and determined to do our best in the two remaining years. Again many old familiar faces are absent and new ones in their places. Among the absent was one who had been with us a great many years. Illness causing her absence and Monna’s death was a great sorrow to us all. The empty space in our class and hearts can never be re-filled. Thirty-seven Junior-Senior deception The Juniors entertained the Seniors ’mid garlands of old rose and silver at the Seora Lodge on May 20th, with a formal reception. The evening was spent in dancing and games, after which a course luncheon was served, during which toasts were given and gaiety reigned. This was followed by more dancing and moon- or rather sunlight-strolls home. One of the most enjoyable events of the year was the banquet given by Miss Stewart and the “Y” women in honor of the Senior Class. The “Y” rooms and the banquet table were very attractively decorated in the class colors. As the members of the Class of ’21 entered the rooms they were greeted by the hostess and were told to find their places at the ban- quet table. A very original card made of little shells was found at each place with the name of a Senior penned on it. The shells were fas- tened to the cards in such a way that they made figures of butterflys, violets and so on. When the guests had been seated the hostesses served them with delicious refreshments, chicken salad, olives, sand- wiches, ice cream and cake. After a very appropriate talk by Mr. Mc- Mullen, who praised the Y W. C. A. for the work they were doing and spoke in behalf of the class, thanking the hostesses for their honor of inviting the class to such a good feast and good time, the guests were taxied to the next room, where they played games and sang songs, led by Miss Stewart, with occasional visits to the cooling contents of a nearby punch bowl. At a late hour the Seniors gave a parting cheer for their hostesses, which was answered by fifteen hearty ones for the Class of ’21. Words cannot express the good time we had, thanks to these hostesses. Thirty-eight 3uttior-S mior H ' fallow’en. Jbrolic On Hallow’en the Tucker home was a scene of unsurpassed gaiety, as ghostly, fantastic figures flitted in and out amongst Jack-o’-Lantern and fern. The Juniors, you see, gave those dignified Seniors a genuine Hallow’en frolic. Apple bobbing and chewing string proved to be great sport, while the punch bowl, half hid in a nest of fern, was indeed a popular place. Two fancy dances were rendered, one by a prim Colonial lassie, the other by a mysterious lady in red. The last event of the evening was the costume contest, the prize being awarded to Geneva Sheridan. This was followed by refreshments appropriate to Hallow’en, and more danc- ing, after which the guests were “sent” to their respective homes. The Junior-Senior Hallowe’en party and the Senior-Ju nior party were enjoyed by everyone immensely. And then the Junior-Senior re- ception, which was given at the home of Miss Sadie Rawls. Need I speak of it? You can imagine the splendid success it proved. We are anticipating a wonderful Senior year and intend to accom- plish many things. The Senior issue, which I know you will look forward to with great interest, continued until ’22. AMELIA TUCKER. Thirty-nine somnoRr Ofye Sophomore (Tlass Colors: Black and Gold.

H. S. on the first morning of the 1919-20 school term. Of course, there was a rather badly as- sembled crowd, for were they not gathered from all places, and included the eighth grade pupils of the year before? Of course, we were worried (?) as to what we must learn to arrive at our goal, “graduation,” until Mr. Chew, our principal, came to our aid, simply telling us that we must learn Algebra and English and any two of the others we wished. (We really didn’t know whether Algebra was a river or a city). We all groaned when we opened our Algebra book next morning, but now that we know “all about” such things we laugh about that fatal morning. We were, of course, called Freshies and Greenies, and on account of someone’s ignorance, we were also called the Refreshment Class. We gave our class party on Hallow’en and just before serving re- freshments, the lights went out, and we would have lost most of our “eats” if it had not been for the quick work of Miss Huddleson, who quickly drove the enemy away. The Sophomores entertained us on April 30th, and gave us a good time indeed. Our exhibit in sewing was said to be very good, but we must take off our hats to those who took sewing this year, for the articles put in the exhibit this year was the best ever. Our behavior was always per- fect in sewing class, but it seemed as though it was not intended for us to sew. (Ask Miss Hall about our behavior and see if she doesn’t say it is just (?!!) perfect). About June 1, there were many expectant Freshmen, standing around the teachers’ desks, awaiting the fatal news, that is, whether we had made “enough” (?) credits to become Sophomores. Here we are, full-fledged Sophomores, with four credits to back us. Oh! How curious we were to see if the Freshmen this year were as — “bold” — as we had been. Of course we forgot that we had been Freshies just last year, and instead of giving them the hearty welcome they ex- pected, we at once called them Freshies, etc. The cafeteria is again running, managed by Miss Hall, the best domestic science teacher who has ever been in the C. H. S. Faculty. Forty-three Of course, there are many mistakes, but Miss Hall “considers the source and goes ahead,” for the cooking class is the girls of the Sopho- more Class. We have only had four Algebra teachers (we haven’t found out yet whether it was us or the Algebra which affected them), but we now have the best ever, Miss Frances McMullen, who came to our school several weeks ago, and we are trying to please her so she will be back with us next year in our “Junior” year. Our parties and picnics have all been a success, for the boys always furnish plenty of the necessary material (?) (money), and cars are al- ways around when needed. From the above you will know that our class has been a wonderful success. We shall return next year as “Juniors,” with smiling countenances, for we shall be one more year nearer the fatal day, when the Faculty will decide whether we know enough to leave C. H. S. or whether we really need to stay with them for awhile longer. MARION CAMPBELL, ’23. Forty-four :ww« Sophomore Class flartv The Sophomores have had a party, And, oh ! what a party it was. A Costume Frolic was what it was called A very good time they had. O N a certain afternoon in November several Sophomores could be seen making the Domestic Science Rooms beautiful with Spanish moss, bamboo, Florida palmettos and wild flowers. Festoons of black and gold crepe paper hanging from each chandelier to all the corners of the room, with long streamers at each end, gave a com- pleted appearance to the decorations for the Sophomore party. At the arrival of the guests, among whom there were clowns, flower girls, gypsies, and also Mr. Washington, there were many exclama- tions of delight over the wonderful scene before them. Games of all kinds were played, for of these there were plenty, and in the contests, there resulted much dispute when the judges tried to decide who should get the prizes. Delicious fruit punch was served during the evening, for the boys had generously opened their pocketbooks, and about midnight a party of young people turned their faces homeward, after many calls for the doctor, for they had been “forced ,, to eat all the ice cream and cake before they were allowed to go home. MARION CAMPBELL, ’23. Forty-Five Sophomore- Jfresl)mait eirtie 3 oast O N the night of March 25th, 1920, a party of young people were gathered on a certain corner in Clearwater. Now, if a stranger had asked who they were and what they were doing, he would have been told that it was the Sophomore Class giving the Fresh- man Class a Weinie Roast at Clearwater Beach. About a dozen cars were soon crowded with this merry band, go- ing towards the beach. Arrived at the beach, a bon-fire was at once built, and various games were played, making the party a happy affair, indeed. As soon as the fire was suitable for roasting weinies, palmetto sticks were passed around, and oh ! those weinies, how good they were, eaten with the bread, butter and pickles so generously supplied by the Sophomores. After roasting wienies a walk to the pavilion made all ready for bowling or dancing, whichever they chose to do. About 11 o’clock cars were seen leaving the pavillion, and, if a stranger had asked who they were, he would have been told that they were Sophomores and Freshies from C. H. S., who had enjoyed a weinie roast, given by the Sophomores to the Freshmen. MARION CAMPBELL, ’23. Forty-alx !3iU; Jbresljman.

Fifty-one Senior Carnival tt HEN it was found that sufficient fll funds were not on hand to put the Annual through, the Seniors had a meeting a la masse and decided to have something some way to make some money. Now, when thirty bright and brainy Seniors get together you might know some of them would think up some novel method to make aforesaid funds. After much thinking and re- peated suggestions someone suggested that we have a carnival. The different committees were appointed and Stanley Cornwell was elected chairman. With good team work and staunch coopera- tion from all the Seniors and help from some of those in other classes the carni- val was put over. There was a fish pond in charge of Tom Branning and Eleanor Gage; the “I Scream” booth in charge of Jessie Grant and Goette Fussell ; cake and candy booth in charge of Dorothy Lee and Newton McClung. Sidney Barger and Mildred Sum- ner were dressed as “Japs.” Besides the booths already mentioned there was a very novel tent show and a sandwich and punch booth very ably looked after by Dorothy Bishop, Olivia McKenzie and Ruth Jett. Entertainment was furnished by the Clearwater band, and that famous organization known to all music lovers as the “Krazy Katz.” Hugh McMullen applied some charcoal to his person and gave us one of his “JiffRs,” at which he is so adept. A very much enjoyed part of the program was given by the men’s quartette. Tickets were sold be- fore and at the carnival for twenty-five cents each. Special thanks are due Mr. Marshall, who gave us permission to use his beautiful bay-front lawn, where the very successful and enjoyable event took place. Light was furnished by a series of globes reaching from the candy and cake booth to the fish pond, and one can imagine what a pretty sight it made with all the booths decorated and lights lit. Although there was a great deal of work and worry in the planning of this event, none of the participants begrudge what thev did to help since it netted almost $ 150 . Special men- tion should be made of the fine work done by the Chairman, Stanlev Corn- well, and Newton McClung, both of whom did much to make it the success it was.

While last ) ' e ar’s very accomplished pianist is not with us this year, Marjorie Cordier and Eldon McMullen have filled that place very well. A new and altogether pleasing addition to the orchestra this year was furnished by Miss Zelwyn Graham and her saxaphone. Zelwyn was always ready and willing to do her part, and since she leaves us this year we hope someone will turn up to take her place. Another very good violinist was added to the number this year, Emma Cornwell, also a newcomer, who will graduate this spring and be greatly missed next term. Lambuth McMullen, alto, and Charles Cox, trombone, also new recruits, proved very capable, ready whenever called upon. During this term the orchestra played for literary programs, the community meeting at Pinehurst, the Senior class play, the grade en- tertainment, Commencement and class day, and was in demand by en- tertainers and functions in other towns. Mrs. Hubbard, with her ever ready smile and encouraging help, has won the hearts of every member of the orchestra and has made it the most popular as well as entertaining organization of its kind in the county. She, as director, is especially to be complimented this year, because of the difficulty in finding new talent to take the places of sev- eral members who graduated last term. Being in sympathy with all other school functions as well as the musical department she has made a friend of everyone in Clearwater High. The chapel singing has been led as usual by Mrs. Hubbard three mornings a week, accompanied by Eldon McMullen, while Marjorie Cordier has shown her musical and vocal ability by leading the two days that Mrs. Hubbard can not be present. For some reason only known to the Director herself and a few of those dignified (?) Faculty, the boys have been placed in a group by themselves. However, it makes no difference in the quality of the music, since the boys can still see the girls from afar. “Distance lends enchantment to the view ’ as some wise man has stated. Several new songs have been tried and have evi- dently made a hit with the songsters, especially the “Freshies,” since you will hear such tunes as “The Tavern,” and “Hark, I Hear a Voice,” either being sung or whistled from the time you leave chapel in the morning until the last bell rings in the afternoon. Fifty-eight Ol)£ Zetl)oletl)iatt lub The Zetholetliians may be small But great things they produce; So, to give you a better impression, The characters Til introduce. Small, but not least, comes Alberta, Little she cares to be drone; Work and the bunch works with you. Play and you play alone. Amelia, best known to us all as “Peg,” Wins her way to the hearts of us all ; We are alwavs greeted with welcomes When on her we’re summoned to “call.” Alma, the last of the “A” trio, No less, as gav as the rest; With laughter she ioins the rest of the bunch And is alwavs doing her best. Tf it makes no “dif.” as to order We’ll put Zelwvn next in line. To keep the society “peppy” She’s doing her part mighty fine. Louise has a hand in the cooking. No one else can be put “by her;’’ To keep her eve on the “eatin’s” Seems to be her main desire. Trene, a true member, ne’er misses a chance To be on hand at all times; If all were as regular as she There would be no need of “fines.” Madeline, too, is new in the club, But her interest will always last; A member as true to the colors as she Can never be surpassed. Vida, too, has won her fame By her works with the dish and spoon, We have heard her out in the kitchen Beating candy to a lively tune. Winnie has proved herself faithful In attending each Friday affair; We know when we camp at her place We’ll have no end of fun there. m SB Sixty Another new member we have with us now, Mildred, so jolly and keen. Since she has joined our merry bunch Our roll reaches up to fifteen. Olivia has shown greatest interest In making our club a success, For many of our good times and frolics We owe to her, nevertheless. Many a good time we’ve had at Sadie’s By her ability to entertain ; No one can forget the Christmas tree And the things it did contain. Metta deserves full credit, Even tho’ her name comes last on roll ; We’ve had some fun, “you tell ’em,” With Metta, the “good old soul.’’ Now, as for the one who’s talking, To describe them, it’s sure taken nerve, So you can give me what credit You think that I deserve. Amelia takes the chair as President, With Vice-President Louise by her side, Olivia answers as Secretary, While Alberta as Treasurer does abide.

Sixty-one Doncha hate to think what would happen if — The Dunedin jitney arrived at school in time for the first period classes. Olivia got lockjaw. William Stoune came to school in long trousers. Jamie ate all the candy he made on his home runs. Everybody sang in chapel. The Zetholethian sunburn was permanent. Tom got all his Bookkeeping up-to-date. “Dot” Bishop did everything she said she was going to do. All the Seniors were satisfied with their Class Play. The bobbed-hair girls lost their hair-curlers. Mr. Cornwell required a written excuse for every tardiness or absence. The Girls’ Basketball team had gone to Palmetto. Mr. Mac believed everything everybody told him. The baseball nine traded places with the Faculty, and Tom was principal, with Goette teaching typewriting. Mr. Faulds lost his comb. Elna and Eldon were separated. The Freshman started a sixty-two piece band with Palma as leader. Remember? When ? Yer could buy? Candy hearts? A whole bunch for a? Nickel? With endearing messages? Printed on ’em? In red letters?

R-E-M-E-M-B-E-R? Do I? Sixty-two mmm Hiterar? Societies C HIS year the Literary society was divided into two groups. They were organized during the first part of the term. Names were voted on and it was finally decided to call one “The Utopian” and the other “The Delphian; ” An equal number of the student body were made members of each society and any students entering after organization were selected by either society, dividing the entire High School into two equal bodies as nearly as possible. Many programs were rendered during the season. The best of these were “The District School; ” “The Negro Wedding ’ “Women Must Talk — (How the Story Grew) ’ given by the Freshman boys dressed as women ; “The Krazy Katz,” and the debate between the two societies on the question of women serving on juries, in which Mamie Ella starred on the Utopian side. The Utopians won the debate by a close score, Mamie Ella making a good play in the last half with two debaters down and one to go. Meetings were held every other Friday with a chairman and com- mittee to select and arrange for the next program. The orchestra was always ready when called upon to play at any of these literary programs and visitors were invited to come and enjoy the entertainments. Sixty-three mmmm (Cafeteria F anyone unfamiliar with the ways of C. H. S. would just happen to drop in around about 12 :15 and see the general rush of the boys down the fire escape and the girls shoving each other down the stairs, they would be looking for the fire-engine next. However, if they would follow the crowd they would find themselves in Miss Hall’s Cefeteria. During this year she has made it quite an attractive and business- like looking place. She has arranged the Domestic Science tables in a horseshoe-shaped curve. Beginning with a tray at the door the stu- dent passes around the outer circle of the horseshoe and finds such tempting eats — meat soup, tomato soup, sandwiches, meat loaf, salads, hot hamburger sandwiches, “Chilie beanie,” fruit desserts, pie and cake. The only painful part of the proceeding is paying the cashier and be- cause of the fact that charge accounts can be permitted. Some of those folks who ate the most on the days they said “charge it” are suffering from indigestion and a much abbreviated bank account. However, Miss Hall and her cooking class deserve much credit for their faithful and untiring work throughout this year and most of last. Beside doing all the cooking they also serve these tempting foods. Isn’t it much nicer for a student to come here and get a glass of milk, four sandwiches, or a hot hamburger, whichever he or she chooses, some hot soup, meat and dessert, then bring a cold lunch to school? And the prices are very reasonable, too. A meal like the above-mentioned one, which is a rather large one, can be had for about forty or fifty cents. e hope that the Cafeteria will keep its good work up next year and with as much success. Fifteen rahs for Miss Hall and the cooking girls! Sixtv-four yiM’ £oes to Tfigl) School m ' ISS Nugget Nell, of sixteen summers, owned an eating house in a mid-western mining camp. She was not the kind of a lady who looked around for a manly breast to sob on, or manly arms to faint in. So, when Limping Jimmy Small told her that bright spring morning of the sudden death of her father in the mining shaft, and of his dying request that she should enter high school and “git som’ laming, : ” she calmly continued her homely task of paring potatoes, and to Jimmy’s questioning gaze, answered: ‘Til go through hell and tarnation if dad said so, but I don’t want no laming ner fine manners.” Perhaps the big miner did not see the tears in the startled, pitying eyes as he hurried across to the saloon to tell the boys ; perhaps he did. At any rate, Nugget Nell, Queen of Sunset Valley, left for a boarding school in a distant city. One year later, under a spreading maple in a shady corner of the campus of a select school for young ladies, three girls reclined, lazily dreaming and discussing important events of the future. “One thing that puzzles me,” declared a prim little miss with a high collar and long skirt, “is how that girl, Nell, gets on with the crowd; she’s awkward, ugly, and always in disgrace with her fearful actions, yet they are all in sympathy with her. I can’t see — ” “Yes,” and since she’s made the team she’s worse ’n ever with her wild frolicing. The boys are all daffy about her, and everyone says, ‘Wait ’till Nell hits the court for the big game!”’ flung back Mary Jones with lowered voice as Nell joined the group. “They say the President’s son, who’s been away to college, is com- ing up for the game,” whispered Felice Ballard, the belle of the school, as she leaned half fondly, half lazily upon her dream of a pink ruffled parasol, and plucked at the forget-me-nots at her waist. “Steve Rollins must be wonderful now, after all his traveling abroad; some athlete I hear.” She stopped with a long-drawn sigh and glanced at Nell, who, with a don’t-care look, was kicking the turf with the toe of her slipper. However, suc h was not the case; Nell did care, but being brought up in a mining camp with rough adventurers and being reared in the society of polished gentlemen, is very different. This she realized; that these boys whom the girls so frivolously chattered about were not her Sixty-five kind. She knew that Steve Rollins was expected; in fact, his picture had been an object of interest on her occasional visits to the office, and remote as her expectations were, she looked forward to his coming as that of some great hero. “Rah ! Rah! for Sunset Valley; Rah! Rah! for Nugget Nell,” sang the crowd as the object of their excitement, a rather wild-looking little figure with short tousled hair and a grin of determination mingled on her face, dashed from center court to make a straight goal. Nell had hit the court at the big game and was hitting it hard. Someone shouted as, tripped by her guard, she stumbled and fell into the arms of a much surprised young man. Yes, Steve Rollins was a roaming woman-hater, but with less than a glance at the small girl athlete in his arms, he resolved to give up globe-trotting and settle down. Afer the game, as the last shouts of victory were dying out and the last rays of sun fading away, at a back table in the little corner drug store, Nugget Nell, Queen of Sunset Valley, laughed into the eyes of Big Steve Rollins. The soda-jerker whistled “Slow and Easy,” and the group of girls gathered around the fountain exchanged glances of un- derstanding. Sixty-six !!)orotl)Y’s 3u6gm mt “Oh! wad some power the giftie gie us, To see ourselves as others see us.” THINK Peggy Lee is perfectly horrid,” said dainty Dorothy De- Laine, as she sat down beside her grandmother, with a pout on her lips and a frown on her face. “Grandmother, she promised to come over today and make candy, and just before time for her to come she called over the phone and said she couldn’t, but I don’t believe she wanted to, anyway.” “And what did you say when she disappointed you so, Dorothy?” Grandmother asked gently. “Why, Grandmother, I did what anyone else would have done. I told her that I thought it was perfectly horrid for her to do that way. Wouldn’t you have done that, too?” “No, dear; why didn’t you first try to find her reason, and then try to forgive her? You don’t know how other people feel, dear, and you must never judge them too hastily. Remember, before the world you are constantly judged, and if you are too hard in your judgment of others, in return you, too, will be severely judged. Now, goodbye, Dor- othy; think all of this over and see if we do not agree.” And Grand- mother DeLaine went home. For a while Dorothy sat gazing at the tall sycamore trees, the dull stillness and summer noises lulling her to repose. The flit of a butter- fly, the chirp of a bird, the occasional stir of a leaf in the gentlest of breezes, were the only things to attract her attention, so, naturally, she fell to musing. Slowly, slowly, everything slipped away, and there be- came a dead silence all around and all was still, still, still, when, hark ! What was that. Someone coming down the walk! Oh! dear! it was those two college boys, with Alvin Cleaveland; and look at that awful dress she was wearing? Quickly and silently she slipped from her chair and hid behind a vine so they would not see her. What was it that they were saying? Wh-why, they were talking about Dorothy herself! But what were they saying? At first she thought it was complimentary — that was what she usually heard — but no, it could never be pleasant in such tones. They spoke in a low, indistinct murmur at first, then the words became more audible. “Yes,” Burton Wyatt, the older of the two visiting boys, was say- ing, “she is right attractive, but I notice she has a deep frown on her face, and she’s always expecting compliments. I’ll tell you, Alvin, you may like her, but deliver me from any such girl.” Lucian, the younger, added, with a merry twinkle in his eye, “Ditto, Burton, ditto !” « Sixty-seven HI mss. msm i Oh, how her pride fell. She, Dorothy, the prettiest girl in town, to be talked of in such a way, and to have Alvin, her best friend, not speak a word in her defence! She quickly fled into the house and flinging herself upon the davenport, she began to cry. In reaching for her handkerchief she touched the newspaper lying beside her and she picked it up to read it. The first thing she glanced at was her name in big headlines : Dorothy DeLaine, Only Daughter of J. H. DeLaine, Prominent Broker Here, Has Been, By Town Authori- ties, Declared the Most Disagreeable and Thoughtless Girl in Town. “Well, of all things,” she cried. “I’ll not stand for that; I’m going right now and tell it all to mother.” Mother, however, was of the same opinion as the newspaper. “Why, Dorothy,” she said, “of course it’s true. You are quite the most thoughtless girl I know of. Think how you talked to poor Peggy today when she couldn’t come here, and thus put you to a slight inconvenience.” Oh, how miserable was Dorothy. “I guess I’ll just die. Nobody loves me, anyway.” So, suiting the action to the word, she started gently floating upward on her flight to heaven. Gracious ! What a crowd there was before the pearly gates. How glad she was to get at last at the head of the line. “Well, St. Peter,” she •1 1 • i « - . ... said as she sighed wearily, “You might have been in a little greater hurry ! Please let me in the gates now ! Oh, dear, be quick !” “You,” said St. Peter, “YOU!” and his eyes very plainly expressed amazement. He lifted his hand and pointed toward the beautiful gates: “Young lady,” he said, “if in the thousands of years that I have kept this gate I have managed to keep out such disagreeable creatures as you, 1 think 1 can plainly and easily show you another path that you should take. NEVER!” this was emphatic, “no, never! shall a person like you enter here.” Oh, what should she do? Even turned away from heaven. She began to cry softly. “Oh, how I wish I had been more thoughtful. How I wish” Bang! She had slipped from her chair and was on the floor! “Why, I’veT een asleep,” she murmured. “It was only a dream.” But though it was a dream and she was once more happy in her popularity, she resolved, and with all sincerity, too, to try and keep from having people think such things about her. She has succeeded. Now, Dorothy DeLaine is Mrs. Burton Wyatt, mother of three girls and grandmother of one baby boy. I think they all will tell you Dorothy’s resolution stuck. m — Sara Margarette Chapman. ffl floras ' oWi oTFD Wfi (TmZ- Sixty-eigrht .Athletics 1920-1921 basketball Season = HE Clearwater High Basketball Team made history for our school this year by winning twelve out of thirteen games. The first game of the season was played with the Largo sextette at Largo, and though our boys played a very good game and did some excellent passing the Crimson and Gray came home defeated, but determined to go in and not only play a good game the rest of the season, but to win every one they played. Day after day they went through the most stringent practice, both on the home court and at Southern College gymnasium floor. They played games with teams both at home and abroad, defeating the not- vet-beaten Largo team by one point. On Feb. 26, the last game of the season, they played and defeated the highly-famed Tampa Terriers on a neutral court by a decisive score. As the season closed Clearwater was a runner-up for the state championship, the two contending teams being Jacksonville and Clearwater. However, the finals were not played off. The two mainstays of the team were Capt. Fussell and M. Blanton. C apt. Fussell, playing forward, was always after the ball and was a very hard man to guard. I oward the end of the very successful season he developed into an accurate basket shooter and in the Tampa game scored the majority of the points. M. Blanton, playing guard, was one of the most valuable assets to the team, being a hard fighter, a dangerous guard, and in the game from start to finish. His guarding game was one of the biggest reasons why Clearwater always had the big end of the score. Blanton also did very well in the basket shooting part of the game, usually making a long goal from the center of the court. Paid Ficht, at center, did remarkably well, since this position was entirely new to him. Paul was in every game of the season and played steadily, getting his share of the goals in each contest. Paul will be back again next year and big things are expected of him. I lie surprise of the season was Edwin Pemberton, this being his first year at basketball, and especially at forward. Ed. had a good eye for the basket, and toward the latter part of the season used it to the advantage of the home team. He will be back next year and we know we will hear more of his good work. Seventy- two Ralph Trott, although light, made a good man at the guard station and was always a willing worker and a good clean player, fighting till the last whistle blew. Ralph’s best game was against the Terriers. He will also be back to do his bit next year. Credit is also given the subs and second string men who helped make the team the success that it was. We, the team, also wish to thank Leroy Frank for his help and support. Great things are expected of next year’s aggregation, since every- body on this year’s team will be back except Capt. Fussell, and with the recruits from this year C. H. S. is looking forward to a strong team for ’22. GOETTE FUSSELL, Athletic Editor. Clearwater High’s Championship Basketball Schedule.

Considering the fact that they had only been in practice four weeks, they played a very good game. The whistle blew promptly at 3:30, and both teams went into the game with a determination to win. However, the Brooksvillers had a very strong as well as rough team, and by the end of the first half it looked quite discouraging to the locals. In the second half the Brooksville forwards were more closely guarded and Clearwater made a couple of baskets. The final score was 17-3 in Brooksville’s favor. Lineup — F. — Metta Rousseau F. — Louise Aunspaugh C. — Ruth Jett R. C. — Alberta VanVorhis G. — Eleanor Gage G. — Zelwyn Graham Referee — Claire Kilgore. Zelwyn acted as captain in the absence of Dorothy Bishop. At six-thirty the same evening the visitors were entertained in the Domestic Science room and had all kinds of good things served to eat. Also a social time was enjoyed. Brooksville vs. Clearwater On Dec. 17 the Clearwater team journeyed to Brooksville to take part in the return game. On their arrivel they were taxied to the hotel where they enjoyed a good meal which had been prepared for them. After dressing for the game they gazed upon the court, which resembled nothing so much as a pile of rocks. So it isn’t any wonder that when the whistle blew Clearwater feared the outcome of the game. Through- out the game, the girls were at a disadvantage, being used to a clay court. The Brooksville girls, being used to the “pile of rocks” and the crooked baskets, easily ran up a score of fourteen points. Lineup same as first game, except Lois Wynkop playing R. C. in place of Alberta Van Vorhis, and “Dot” Bishop played at C. instead of Ruth Jett. Later in the evening the Clearwater teams and rooters were given a good feed by the Brooksville teams. Zephyrhills vs Clearwater On Jan. 14 the girls resumed their games after the holidays by scheduling a game with the Hills’ girls on the local court. However, on account of rain, the game was played at the gymnasium, Southern College. The Clearwater girls displayed fine team work, even though Seventy-seven they were a little timid on the big gym. floor. The Clearwater girls did good passing and showed their ability to shoot baskets. “Dot” tipped the ball to Ruth, she passed it to Metta, who threw the baskets. The game ended with a score of 16 to 10 in favor of the Crimson and Gray. The Clearwater girls came home jubilant with their first vic- tory. Lineup same as in former game, except Jett in place of Wvnkop at R. C. St. Petersburg vs. Clearwater On the following Thursday, Jan. 20, the girls played the “Saints” on their floor. The Clearwater girls played a very good defensive against the “Saints,” but were no match for their much bigger opponents used to their own court. The game ended with the one-sided score of 22 to 0. Lineup same as in former game, except Wynkop in place of Jett at R. C. Jett substitute for Wynkop, McKenzie for Aunspaugh. Clearwater vs. Plant City. On Feb. 4, Plant City autoed to Clearwater to play the Beach girls, who had been going through a lot of practice and were feeling like a million dollars and ready to go into the game and fight. For a few minutes after the first whistle blew both teams tried to score but failed, the ball going back and forth from one end of the court to the other. Then in the next minute an exciting thing happened. Metta threw one of her long baskets, giving Clearwater two points lead!! This was followed by a good score by a Plant City girl, which tied the score. The game was then indeed very exciting and the half would have ended 2 to 2 had not the local team by good passing gotten the ball to Metta, who threw another basket. Thus the half ended with a score of 4 to 2 in favor of Clearwater. The teams came back on the court at the sound of the whistle and during the second half Stanley shot two field goals while Plant City only made one, leaving the score 8 to 4 in favor of Clearwater. Lineup— F., Rousseau; F., Cornwell; C., Bishop; R. C„ Tett; G. Gage; G., Graham. . Clearwater vs. St. Petersburg On Jan. 27 the “Saints” returned the Clearwater game. St. Pete had a swelled head because they had won the first game so easily, but they found out it wasn’t such a snap to beat C. H. S. after all. The Clearwater girls had a team that had improved wonderfully under Miss Kilgore s coaching, and even though they were beaten by one point they should feel proud that they held their opponent to such a close score and played such a good game. Final score was 13 to 12. Lineup same as in Plant City game. Tampa vs. Clearwater On Feb. 11 the Clearwater girls played the Tampa sextette. From the time the first whistle blew until the last of the game, the score Seventy-eight see-sawed back and forth first in favor of the Tampa girls and then the locals, until the last half, when Clearwater gained a slight advantage and kept it up until the last whistle, making the score 11 to 10. Tampa put in quite a few subs during the game but our girls only tightened up a little and won by a one point margin. Lineup same as in last game with the “Saints.” 1 — Clearwater vs. Brooksville, at Clearwater. Brooksville, 17 ; Clearwater, 3. 2 — Brooksville vs. Clearwater, at Brooksville.

Games Won Games Lost Total number of games played Captain Dorothy Bishop Coach Elsie Kilgore Manager Lois Wynkop Seventy-nine 19204921 baseball Season K=X Q LTHOUGH Clearwater did not have some of her men back again this year, including Frank Williamson, Fred Hubbard, Merle Mc- Kisson, Leland Booth and Niles Ray, Goette, our captain, has made this year’s lineup an efficient squad. The surprise of the season was Tom, who has shown his pitching as well as his batting ability. Tom has been out at all the practices faithfully and has kept Clearwater’s opponents guessing, fanning many a would-be hitter. Tom also possesses that ne- cessary fight to pull out of a hole with three men on bases, having de- monstrated that ability in several of this season’s games. Nothing needs to be said of the good work of Fussell on the receiving end of the battery, since he has already proven his ability to play A No. 1 ball. With the backing and support of the team there is no reason why Clearwater can- not be in the race for second, or even first, place. Owing to the extended basketball season, the baseball season has been crowded lor time, which showed up in their first three games of the season. However, this hand- icap was soon overcome, as will be seen by the following list of games: The first game of C. H. S. baseball was played at Plant Field, Tampa, April 13. Since it was the first time the team had worked to- gether except in practice, and some of the regular players were not out yet, it is not surprising that Tampa won. Clearwater, however, showed the stuff that was in them, and if our pitcher had had the backing of the team that he should have had there is no doubt that C. H. S. would have won. As it was, Tampa were victors, the score being 7 to 0. The second game of the season was played on the home diamond against Bradentown. Although Clearwater knuckled down and played a very good game of ball, the visitors won the game by two scores, the final count being 2 to 0. On April 20 the Clearwater nine won from Palmetto, playing an A No. 1 game of ball. The game was played at Palmetto. Clearwater had started to play real ball, and it was hoped she would keep winning. Every man on the team played his position well and Branning twirled a winning game from start to finish. The final score was 5 to 2 in favor of C. H. S. On April 21 the Clearwater nine played Bradentown at Braden- town. In this return game with Bradentown the Clearwater squad seemed to have lost their ability of the day before to field the ball Jto advantage and the opponents won the encounter 14 to 4. On April 26 C. H. S. motored over to Plant City and met the Straw- berry City team on their own diamond in a hotly contested game. It Eighty-one looked in the latter part of the game as if Plant City had the advantage over the Beach boys when they had a score of 5 to Clearwater’s 4, but with commendable pitching on Branning’s part and the splendid back- ing of the team, Clearwater pulled out of the hole and tied the score in the ninth inning. In the thirteenth inning after both teams had tried to score and failed the game was called on account of darkness with the score standing at 5 to 5. On the 29th of April Clearwater High defeated St. Petersburg at Clearwater to the tune of 7 to 6, Branning pitching one of the best games of the season. Tom struck out a good number of the St. Pete nine, while Clearwater was able to get some pretty good hits. Although the Saints put up a good fight the Clearwater nine bettered them by one score. In the return game with the Plant City aggregation Clearwater showed up better than in the first game, since they won 6 to 4 in an eleven-inning contest. The Clearwater boys found the ball along toward the last of the game, and scored in the last half of the 11th. Clearwater was now playing baseball, and not only playing, but winning. In the next and last game played before this year book goes to press, Clearwater defeated Palmetto in their return game 9 to 2. Tom pitched the best game of the season, only allowing one hit. The next game of the season is one scheduled with St. Pete for May 19. Clearwater Baseball Schedule — 1921 At Tampa, April 13, C. H. S., 0; Tampa, 7. At Clearwater, April 15 — C. H.

Goette Fussel ’21, Athletic Editor. jFussell (Captain) Catcher Goette was never known to miss a foul ball that came within his reach. It takes a very fast man indeed to steal second on him, and many a man has tried only to find that Goette had whipped it in ahead of him. The team will be at a great loss without him next season. Goette makes a fine captain, and is always right there in a pinch. He was the unanimous selection for 1 captain and has won the respect of every player on the team. 3 ranning ( ;pitct)cr) Tom can stick ’em over so fast that half the batters can’t see ’em, so it’s needless to say they don’t hit them. Tom is a master of a certain curve that he does not desire to make public. It is no wonder that Tom was selected by Captain Fussell as twirler, since he is light there in a pinch and one of the best batters on the team. We are wondering who will step into the box for Clearwater next year, since fom graduates in June. Manton (ol)ir5 3 ase) Blanton plays the third sack like a big-leaguer, always ready when it comes to stopping the pill ; he also has a sure, quick peg to first. He will be back next year and we know we will hear more of his good work. Maurice is always capable of getting a hit at a time when it’s needed most. JL Eighty-three Jficljt (Shortstop) It takes a cool head and a steady hand to play shortstop. Paul, having both of these necessary faculties as well as a good whip to first, is hard to beat. Paul will be back again next year and great things are expected of him. ftall (Second 3dase) This is Jamie’s second year at the second bag, and he is a dandy for get- ting grounders, or flies either, for that matter. This position is a very hard one to cover, with much territory de- pending on the man filling it. Jamie is just the man for the position, being also good at receiving pegs and stop- ping ’em at second. Jamie will also be back again next year. Orott ( Jfirst 3dase) Although this is Ralph’s first year on first base, as well as his first year in baseball, he soon proved his ability to stop anything within reach. Pie is very good at picking them up and al- ways gets back to the bag. He has also made some good hits at critical times. He will also be back next year. Eighty-four T adgett n Left Jiel6) Although this is Padgett’s first year in baseball, he is always on the job in his portion of the outer garden and has that very necessary whip, which he uses to advantage. Pie is also a good hunter and can generally beat the ball to first base if it’s possible for any- body to do it. Padgett will have three more years in C. H. S. and will proba- bly be out for catcher next season. We believe and hope he will make the posi- tion. Wallace ((Tenter Jfiol6) While this is Harold’s first year in High School baseball, he soon proved his ability to stop anything within reach in center field. Harold will be back again next year, and we believe he will make an infield position. young (3 igl)t Jfiel6) We are very sorry to say, but this is Ezra’s last year at C. H. S. He has proved himself capable to cover his territory and is always under the ball when it comes down, ready to nab it. Eighty-five SB? Springer (Substitute) Although Albert did not make the first team, he was a willing worker and a booster for everything in connection with the nine. He will be back again next season and we wish him better luck then. (Tlegoni (Substitute) Claude, like Albert, was always ready to do his part and boost the team. This is the spirit that makes a good ball player and like Springer, we wish him better luck next season. Pemberton (Mlanager) Ed. made a very good manager, and we are proud of his work both in bas- ketball and baseball. Any game that Ed. schedules is always well arranged for beforehand, relieving the captain or team of any worry as to time, place or accommodations on trips or the sale of tickets, etc., when games are played at home. He has scheduled games with some of the best teams in South Florida this season, and has always been a booster for the Clearwater nine. Come on, fellows; fifteen Rahs! for the 1 est manager in Florida. Eighty-six The following confidential letters are hereby put before the public due to insufficient space in the waste basket.

Eighty-eight Ol)e Senior (Tlass 4 a r O HE Senior Class Play, very ably coached by Miss Kilgore, was given at H. Pitman’s Royal theatre on Friday, April 29 . The name, Patty Makes I hings Hum,” at once suggests something exciting, and it was indeed very much so. Patty, a very typical college girl, cer- tainly did make things hum. Mrs. Green, who gave an announcement party for her brother. Captain Little, entertained under difficulties, since her cook failed her. The meat market failed to send the needed lobsters, the florist sent a funeral wreath instead of the flowers she or- dered, and Patty, expelled from boarding school, breezed in just at the critical moment, making more trouble for the tired hostess. However Dons gives her dinner party, with the help of her neighbors, Mr. and ■ rs Smith. Captain Little, who had a little misunderstanding with his bride-to-be, Helen Braithwaite, is helped out of his difficulty by his sister, Doris, and Tom Braithwaite, a dignified English officer. Mr. Greene, a typical business man. played the host, while Miss Dunbar tried to win the attentions of Captain Braitwhaite. At the announce- ment party Patty dressed up like a waitress and flirted with Tom, whom she had not met. He. not knowing that she is Doris’ sister, is some- what taken back when Doris tells him she is going to discharge her. e finds out, however, that Patty dressed as a waitress to get even with Doris for not letting her come down to dinner. Hyacinth, the colored maid, played her part to perfection and her humor went rippling t m.ughout the play. Tom finally meets Patty after much scheming and Helen and Fred are reunited, leaving only Miss Dunbar in the cold. Miss Kilgore certainly deserves much .credit for her patient coach- ing and untiring labor to make the play the success it was. On Monday the second of May, the play was repeated in Dunedin, in the Dixie hanks are due Mr. Pitman who gave us the use of his theatre free °f charge; also Mr. Walker and Mr. Young, who gave us the use of the Dixie at ' operating expenses. The Royal in Clearwater was died to caoacity, and the Dixie was crowded, and though both the coach and actors had lots of work and worry they were rewarded by the feeling that it was a grand success.
