Loving classmates, helpful teachers, Here we met with friends so true; Here we walked in wisdom’s footsteps Daily learning something new. Now our high school days are ending. Like the bygone days of yore; Soon these happy days of meeting Will he ended ever more. Rut well remember, yes, remember. Those with whom we’ve daily met; And we hope again to see them (irasping eager for success. Again we hope to stand with loved ones, ’Neath the purple and the gold; There to sing sweet songs of gladness Like the songs we sang of old. 'I'he fair red rose is our class flower.

Grandpa, buy an annual of me.” “Of course. I’ll buy one. dear.” The speakers were a young high school girl and her grandfather. The grandfather spoke again: “Why dear, you remind me of the time when I went out to sell annuals myself.” “Oh, Grandpa.” she exclaimed, “Did you have an annual and a class too? IMease tell me all about it.” “Ah. dear, it is not hard to tell for it is a chapter of my own life. It was a long time ago—’way back in '25 that 1 started to school. How well I remem- ber that bunch of frightened classmates, who with myself, made up the fresh- men class. We chose as our President Chancie Krugh and Mr. Taft became our faithful chaperon. The next year our class lost three members, leaving just fourteen, but we were very loyal and all worked together. Eugene Mason, our president, with the aid of Miss Ardis Smith, our class advisor, guided us through a very suc- cessful year. The following year proved to be a very busy one. Again Eugene Mason was chosen president, while we chose Mr. McKinney as our class s|x nsor. The two most important events were the very successful production of the plav. “Nora. Wake Up!” and the Junior-Senior Banquet, given by the Juniors. But. Mary, the last year is the one that stands out in my mind as the one that I’ll never forget. Mr. Taft as class advisor guided us safely through that eventful year, while Lucian Strong as class president aided us in every pos- sible way. That year we published our annual and produced our Senior play. “Mr. Bob.” but to us the event that stood out above all others was our grad- uation. At last, after four years of strenuous labor, we were to receive those priceless “sheepskins” which were to be our everlasting credentials to the world. How long ago it was; hut how fresh it appears in my mind.” “But there, dear. I’ve tired you with my long recitation.” “No, you haven’t Grandfather, but I'll leave you now to enjoy my an- nual.” Taking his glasses from the stand, the old man slowly sat down and gazed idly at the annual. Getting up, he went to the bookcase and took from there an old and tat- tered book. With quickened interest he gazed through it. Each page was now to him a burning memory, for it was his annual—their annual of long ago—the history of the class of ’29.

T |i MAROON AND WHITE VALEDICTORY 111', graduation of a class of seniors is commonly thought of as the completion. by the members of the class, of their education. This thought also portrays the Senior as .sittini; on top of the world or “holding the world in his hands ” Hut the true meaning of graduation is entirely different Hwm-4Eis_mid truthfully portrayed by the word Commencement, which means the “beginning bellow Seniors, such is our commencement, the hejunnnig n-;d life for us; and instead of being “on top of the world” we areTonlv at the foot of the ladder. I he part of our life that has gone before has been preparation : the part to come is as we make it. Our school life has done one great thing for us; it bas prepared ns to take a larger place in the world Not our studies alone, but all phases of our school life, have been training that will be very useful in en- abling us to take part in the progress of the world. Fellow seniors of the clas; °f 29, you have acknowledged this duty by selecting as vour class motto “Up- ward and Onward. ----- Since the creation of the world it has been moving along that path so simply expressed in the words “Upward and Onward.” Great progress has been made in the List feu ages in all_branches of-life. Governments have changed from corrupt, autocratic kingdoms to the more honest, efficient, and democratic re- publics. Living and working conditions in almost all parts of the world have made great advancement along the lines of sanitation, safety, and comfort. The nations of the world, which not so many years ago were engaged in the great World War. are now trying in every possible manner to find a plan which will bring about universal peace. Hand in hand with the other developments of tin- world is that of Education. Education, which was once a privilege that only the rich could enjoy, is now within the reach of everyone who really wants it ass. race, or mcans. J lassmatesf if the world has made such progress in the past when the ma- jor it N� £_the people did not have opportunities for education, then we should a-l lt-ast be able to do our share with ihc advantages we have had IrhiTmnv not mean a great and shining success which all praised Such a success is many times not a happy one.

How many times in life are we forced to admit the inadequacy of words to express the deepest sentiments of the soul. Our hearts fill with emotion and we cannot utter the words which are on our lips. Tennyson must have had some of this same emotion when he said: I would that mv tongue could utter. The thoughts that arise in me. This occasion tonight is one of those times when we are so tilled with emo- tion that we cannot express all that we wish to say. 1'or this reason we have selected a word of greeting tonight which is short yet means much, the word “Welcome.” which has been well expressed by some one as— e hope von are see viITT:tre (VnacT'and we know you are welcome!

You have come, and we are glad that you did. for an hour or so of entertainment. You will go away from here to go to many others, but tjtey wjlljiot linger in yourjmgmory.__But to us who hereby graduate it is a red letter day. It will never be forgotten, and we will always' referjo it as the grejitesj occasion in which we have ever participated. Our school career up to the present can be well expressed liv pomparum itZ to a seedling. As small •children we were placed into the school room as seeds are piaceiT'm the ground. During our grammar years we were beginning to germinate and then came high school. It has been a safe, snug and happy sea- son—this period of our high school germination—wherein we have grown side bv side and felt close to kin. We have started our period of sprouting and growth. In the plants each sprout stands alone, bears its own nardships, and raises its own fruits. So must we, who have now finished our high school career stand alone, fight out our own battles and be responsible for the fruits of our life’s work. What these fruits of our future labors are to be we must deter- mine for ourselves. As you have been with us in the period of our high school development. wdl you not be with us in our trials and struggles, and help ns that the fruits of_ our labors will be good and wholesome in the eves of the world.__ And again to you all. who. we know, have gathered here to wish us God speed, we as a class extend a pleasant greeting and a hearty welcome.

JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY IN the year nineteen hundred and twenty-six, our class of twentv-one entered the Old Eau Claire High School to begin our career as freshmen. As J look back I seem to see our Class as if it were today. I remember, we were so excited! Everyone was getting in each others way. Did someone ask what was the matter? I see a lot of officers. Cops, did some one say? Oh. no. merely the usual freshman class officers. There was Matilda Faher. President: Margaret Buckley. Vice President: and Jay Staley. Secretary and Treasurer. Now. why all the groaning? The Sopho- mores have gained a victory and the war is over—we have been initiated, and now to begin our school work in earnest. ( ur Sophomore class officers were Harriet Hogue. Pres.: Wesley Grant, Vice Pres.; Margaret Schram. Sec.: and Gertrude Pokornv, Treas. 1 cannot begin to write about all of our parties and there is not room to tell of all we learned, but 1 will say we had some happy times along with our studies. We are Juniors this year, the eighteen of us that are left and we are all determined to stick together. For our class officers we chose Dorothy Bar- tels for Pres.: Wesley Grant. Vice Pres.; Geneva Bowers as Sec.: and Har- riet Hogue. Treas. As I look into the future I seem to see a class of eighteen students assembled together, with diplomas in their hands. It is our Class again. This time a Class of happy graduates. Back of us in large letters. I see our Class motto. “United We Conquer.” It is with this thought that we travel onward through our high school days. —Bemeice Mitchell. 1929 [33] SOPHOMORE CLASS President---------------------------Lois Puterbaugh Vice-President----------------------------Tom Ferry Secretary------------------------------George Sharpe 'I' T I reasurer------------------------------ Leo idey Class Color-------------------Blue and White Class Flower_____________________________Tulip Class Motto__________________We’re Out to Win MAROON AND WHITE SOPHOMORE CLASS BACK ROW—Keith Kerstetter; Mitchell Booth; Harold Frost; Donald Clupper; John Brookins; Tom Ferry; Chester Wierzbolowicz; Winford Abbs; Max Michael; Irvine Paustain; CENTER ROW —Mary Clark; Evelyn Gustafson.

HISTORY OF CLASS OF '3F' qm: morning in the early part of September, nineteen hundred and twenty- seven. thirty-one of us Freshmen entered the doors of Eau Claire High School. Each of our group had a feeling of dread for we knew not what was to follow. As we became acquainted with school life our fears were replaced by a desire to do as the upper classmen were doing. We soon thought it would be proper to organize, so we had a class meeting. We selected Alfons Wierzbolowicz to be our president, Lois Puterbaugh our vice-president. Mary Clark our secretary, and John Brookins our treasurer. Mr. Bloom was our choice for sponsor. We chose blue and white for our class colors, the tulip our flower, and for our motto “W e’re Out To W in.” In the early part of October the sophomores gave us an initiation party. Under the leadership of Mr. Bloom, sponsor, we successfully completed our freshman year. One year later on September fourth, thirty two of us entered the school as sophomores. This time of entering was not one of consternation for we were accustomed to school life. We. believing it best to organize held a meeting to elect officers. W e chose Lois Puterbaugh to be our president. Tom Ferry our vice-president. George Sharpe our secretary, and Leo Tidy our treasurer. We kept the same class color, flower, and motto of the previous year, but selected Mrs. Fetzer to be our sponsor. On the eleventh of October we very thoroughly initiated the freshmen at a party in the gymnasium. Under the guidance of Mrs. Fetzer a very successful year is assured and we hope that our number will all finish together in “31.” Mary Clark. 1929 [37J MAKOON AND WH1TL g Harold Diamond President FRESHMAN CLASS ('resident__________________________IIarold Diamond Vice-President______________________Gordon I Iosbkin Secretary___________________________Mary Jane Young Treasurer---------------------------1rene Puteriiaugii Class Colors_______________Yellow and W hite Class Flower______________________White Rose Class Motto______Honor Waits at Labor’s Gate K i I 9 2 9 g MAROON AND WHITE FRESHMAN CLASS BACK ROW—Miles Ferry; Carl Fisher; Henry Brant; Dean Carmichael; CENTER ROW-Julia Sova; Harold Diamond; Lula Sharai; Mr. Bloom, Advisor; Cleo Ferguson; Gordon Hosbein; Elaine Becker; FRONT ROW—Verna Merrill; Verna Tinkham; Helen Sperkowitx; Irene Putcrbaugh; Mary Jane Young; Mary Michael; Virginia Dillon. FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY QNCE again the doors of “Old Eau Claire High” were flung open wide, and on that memorable morning of September 4. N28. another class of green freshmen entered its portal, twenty in number -eight boys and twelve girls. Each and every one came in high hopes of gaining bright laurels of his own: and in each heart there lurked an intention to spend four thoroughly enjoyable years of work and play. At our first class meeting we elected for president, Harold Diamond: sec- retary. Mary Jane Young : and as treasurer, Irene Putcrbaugh. For class colors we selected yellow and white, with a white rose as our flower to show the worth- iness we possessed above the green. For our motto we took “Honor waits at Labor’s gate.” On October 11. the Sophomores did their worst. With the aid of water, walnut stain and soap we were initiated into the mysteries of High School life. Mr. Bloom consented to be our chaperone and guide throughout our freshman year.

ORATORICAL AND DECLAMATORY CONTEST V E of the most interesting events of the year, the oratorical and declamatory contest, was held before a large audience in the high school auditorium. 1 he music was furnished by Elaine Becker and Helen Bishop. Because there were a number of excellent speakers in each contest, the com- petition was so keen that the judges (all from Emmanuel Missionary College) found it hard to make their decision. After the decisions were finally made. Mary Jane Young of the declamatory contest, was awarded with a gold medal and a dictionary. Edwin Gustafson, the winner of the oratorical contest received similar rewards. Mary Jane Young and Edwin Gustafson represented Eau Claire High School in the subdistrict contest at Buchanan. Michigan. Much credit for the success of the contest is given to Mrs. Fetzer who was the willing coach, as well as to the contestants.

THE GIRLS GLEE CLUB THE girls glee club is an organization which we. the members, have thoroughly appreciated and enjoyed. Our instructor, Mrs. La Crone lias been very faith ful and ready to help us when we most desired it. The work we have accom- plished has been done with greatest pleasure. As a result of our efforts we have produced the musical entertainment for many social meetings and special programs. The highest achievement of this year has been a Japanese Cantata, “Christinas in Cherryland.” given before the school as the customary entertainment previous to the holidays. This C antata was very highly praised and later the Parent Teachers Association requested that it be given again at a box social on bebruary 12th. The second presentation was equally if not more successful than the first, as it had many added attractions. I he Japanese girls in this cantata were dressed in colorful kimonos present- ing a very picturesque scene as they sang quaint songs of Japan. I wo American girls are spending their Christmas vacation in Japan and they end it by their father furnishing enough money for a Japanese girl to return to college from which she had been called by the sickness of her father. In this way kindness is given and everyone is made happy. Although three of the people taking part were not members, the majority of the characters in the cast belonged to the glee club. 1501 I 9 2 9 -Eva Rose Grow.

DEBATING SOCIETY THUS year the Eau Claire High School added another activity to its list by the organization of a Debating Society, through the aid of Principal 11. K. Jerome, who acted as coach and sjxjnsor of the organization. Twelve students entered the elimination contest, and after close judging, the following seven were selected as permanent members: Lucian Strong. Mary ( lark. Tillie Lutz. Ruth Taylor. Alfons Wierzbolowicz. Katie Burbach. and Flora Collins. Four of these students: Lucian Strong. Mary C lark. Flora Collins, and Kat e Burbach appeared in at least one of the league debates. The subject upon which the debates were based throughout the year was: “Resolved that a federal subsidy for the development of an American Mer- chant Marine would be a wise national policy.” Our school, as a member of the Michigan High School Debating League, entered its elimination series of four debates. Our opponents in these league debates were: Schoolcraft. Gobles, Cassopolis, and Galesburg. We lost the debates with Schoolcraft and Cassopolis by 2-1 decisions. Due to unpleasant weather and had conditions of the roads, we were obliged to forfeit the debates with Gobles and Galesburg. Although we suffered defeat in those debates in which we took part, we can say that we gained a real victory in the fact that we created a new activity, and one of which we are sure our school can he justly proud in the future.

THE LIBRARY rJ,IIE Library work for ibis year has been under the supervision of Mrs. Fetzer who has had to work with an entirely new library staff. We have completed the recataloguing of all the books in the library. Many of the old books have been rebound and mended. We received about $100 from the Michi- gan State Library fund with which we purchased new books- -fiction, biography, travel, orations, history, and drama. The senior Class of ’28 presented the school library with a complete set of Harper’s Encyclopedia of United States History for reference work and the latest copy of Who’s W ho. W e have many good magaines which seem to be very popular with the students. Because of this we had to have some way of keeping the magazines in neat order. Most of the students return the magazines and arrange them to suit their own fantastic desires. For the purjR se of keeping the magazines properly arranged we had a magazine case made. This proved very satisfactory. The organization of the library has been better this year than ever before and much of this success is due to our loyal staff of library workers. Harriet Hogue.

FRUIT JUDGING TEAM PAL' Cl.AIRE High School has reason to he proud of the hoys who made up its fruit judging team as they won the state championship at the contest held at the Michigan State College, November ninth and tenth. This contest is held annually and this year twenty six teams competed. When the papers had been scored it was found that Eau Claire was first by a wide margin over Hart. This school had already won twice and another vic- tory would have given them permanent possession of the cup. Not onlv did the team win the championship and with it the Kent Storage Co. silver cup. hut one of its members. Tom Ferry, had the highest individual score of all contestants and was presented with a life membership in the Michi- gan Horticultural Society by Mr. E. E. Gallup. State Su| ervisor of Agricultural Education. The other boys were given annual memberships in the Society. At the contest each person had to identify twenty plates of apples and score five groups of apples of four plates each. In preparation for this, apples were gathered by members of the Agricultural classes and the pupils were trained to identify different varieties and to judge plates of apples. After a short period of practice the three best judges were selected and they were given the special training which prepared them to win first place at the contest.

ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION p AkLV in the month of October a meeting of all the athletic association members was called for the purpose of electing officers. Jav Stalev was elected president. Edwin Gustafson vice president. Harriet Hogue secretary, and Thelma Easton treasurer. Our first duty was to make the annual membership drive which proved quite a success. We offered as a reward to the row which obtained one hundred per-cent membership first, free admittance to the first Basket Ball game. Our membership drive added to our treasury some, hut still we did not have enough to purchase the new basket hall suits, balls and other equipment we needed. A carnival was suggested and every one seemed interested, because it was something different from the annual minstrel show we had been having for the last few years. Each grade in high school and each row in the assembly was to have a booth. The booths were neatly and attractively decorated. After the carnival the booths were taken down and a dance was given. The attitude with which the students worked at the carnival showed some of the best school spirit that has ever been shown in the high school. The net proceeds from the carnival amounted to over one hundred dollars, which the association used to a good advantage in the purchase of new suits and equipment. Jay Staley.

Coach Jerome was confronted with the task of building a team around two letter men. Jay Staley and Eugene Mason. After four weeks of training and practice the team invaded the Cassojxdis court under the leadership of Captain Mason. The Maroons had their start on a successful season by bringing home the long end of a 40 to 22 score. Much of the team’s success has been due to the able and efficient leadership of Captain Mason. Mason time and again called his men together to solve the opposing team’s play, enabling our team to return home on the long end of the score. Throughout the season Eau Claire turned in a total of 9 victories with 6 defeats. The number of games played during this season has been somewhat less than in ] ast seasons. Sickness and the flu epidemic cancelled most of the games that were scheduled for the month of December. Next vear's season will find all the players back again with the single ex- ception of Captain Mason who will be lost to our school through graduation. Seven of the players were awarded letters. Those receiving them were Captain Mason. Staley. Grow. Brookins. Diamond. Ferry, and Trowbridge. At the close of the season Grow and Brookins received honorable mention in the county class 1) . With the material left for next year’s season Eau Claire should develop a team equal to the calibre of this year’s team if not a better one. Coach 11. K.

PONIES THE ponies, on whom always comes the burden of jesters as the second raters, split their season in a fifty-fifty manner. Their victories and defeats usually resulted in a two to a four point margin. Chief among our ponies were Captain Trowbridge and Guard Tom Ferry. Toward the end of the season Ferry was wanted on the varsity and this left- the ponies somewhat weakened. Nevertheless, not to he discouraged, the team kept up that old “fight to the last minute” play. With another year some of the pony players will he giving the varsity regu- lars a good run for their berths. 'Fhe outstanding feature of the ponies has been their ‘scrappiness’ and effi- cient team work. These features bring school loyalty to the team. Coach II. K. Jerome. MAROON AND WHITE BASKETBALL GAMES C ASS (THERE) 'THE first game of the season was played with Cassopolis at the Cassopolis gym. Katt Claire started the basket hall season off with a hang. The players were all in A No. 1 condition. This was a very rough game because the Cass cagers were just through playing football. At the final gun. the score was 40 to 22 in favor of the Maroon and Whites. WATERVLIET (THERE) The game at Watervliet was a good one because of the closeness of the score. The spectators did not know who was going to win and were on edge all of the time. Mason, the center of the Maroon and W hite was put out of the game at the third quarter because of four personal fouls, but the game was saved bv Staley and the boys came home with the score 27-25, in their favor. BERRIEN SPRINGS (THERE) When the Eau Claire cagers went to Berrien Springs, they had to go without Staley and this was a bad loss. All of the team were in a bad condition due to the “flu” which had a bad start in Eau Claire. Captain Mason was put out on fouls and the game was lost by the big margin of 57-46. in favor of the Berrien cagers. The game should never have been played because of the condition of our players. ST. JOHNS (HERE) The Irish came to Eau Claire with big ideas, thinking they were going to take home the victory, but were badly disappointed when they ran into the Ma- roon and Whites. This was one of the fastest games of the season and Eau Claire had the good side of the 21-22 score when the gun was popped by the time keeper. STEVENSVILLE (THERE) The game did not turn out for the best for the home team because Grow failed to obey the rules of the Eau Claire team and was kept out of the fracas during the first half. The boys played in hard luck and seemed unable to make the baskets. Grow was admitted to the game at the half and the Maroon and Whites went hot. but could not beat the score that the Stevensville goalers had made. The final score was 19-15. in favor of Stevensville. EDW ARDS BURG (HERE) Referee Letsinger was busy all of the time because of the fast and rough game of basket ball the teams were playing. The Eau Claire boys could not get an eye on the netted circle and lost the game by a small margin of 17-19. in favor of Edwardsburg. Mason and Grow were emitted from the game due to acquir- ing four personal fouls, according to the opinion of Letsinger. The loss of these players made sure the loss of the game. 159| MAROON AND WHITE B E R R11 : N SPRINGS (IIE R E) The Berrien eager came to Eau Claire with hope in their chests, believing that they were going to win the second game from the local leant, but the Maroon and Whites fooled them by playing fast basketball. Mason and Staley added many points to the score and Brookins slipped in three baskets front the side of the floor. The referee was busy all of the time because of the fast game of bas- ketball the two teams were playing. Eau Claire sent their old rivals home with the small etui of the 29-19 score. ST. JOHNS (THERE) Coach Jerome started all of the second team in this game and the Irish hunch got a lead of 4-0 before the five regular men went on the floor. The Irish out- scored the Maroons in the first half, but this was changed in the second half of the game for the local hoys crept up to within a few points of their opponents when their efforts at a victorious comeback were ended bv the final gun and the score was 16-20. in favor of the Benton Harbor boys. STEVENS VILLE (HERE) This was probably one of the hardest games played on the Eau Claire court this year. The boys were all playing a good brand of basketball and it was a very fast game. The crowd was on edge all through the contest because they could not tell who was going to claim the victory. In the third quarter Staley and Grow were sent from the game because their hard fast play had caused Referee Sickels to call four personals on each. The remainder of the team kept uj) the old fight and Stevensville went home with the small end of the score which was 23-21 in favor of the Maroon and White. GALIEN (HERE) I his game was started into action with Staley registering the first basket for Eau Claire and the boys were all playing good basket ball. Galien’s forwards were closely guarded by Brookins and Diamond. Captain Mason and Staley were going hot at the final gun which gave the Eau (. laire cagers a good margin of 22-IS. After the game, supper was served to the basketball boys. Galien’s bunch went home with a full stomach although they did not take home the bacon. GALIEN (THERE) I he Eau Claire boys had to laugh when they went into what was called the Galien gym. because the roof came to a peak just out of Mason’s reach and the lights were covered with horse muzzles. The peculiar nature of this floor had made it difficult for visiting teams to win but it was so cold that the Eau Claire hoys just had to play because if they stood around they would freeze. The game was plenty fast for the small dark floor and Eau Claire came home with the long end of the score of 22-14. WATERVLIET (HERE) hen the atervliet hoys met the Eau I laire 1m vs they played against a hard luck team. I he Maroon and bites tried hard all through the game but l«)l ,19 2 9 • MAROON AND WHITE S5 could not make the points which were still lacking at the end of the game. This was I aptain Mason’s last home game and he was very sad because of the defeat. The final gun was flopped leaving a score of 17-22. in favor of Watervliet. RDM ARDSBI RC; (THERE; 1 his was the last game to be played on an opponent’s floor by the Maroon and hite team of 1928-29, and it was a good game. The players were in fairly good condition and this helped to make it a fast game. The Edwardsburg bunch were plenty rough and in the end it showed them that their roughness did not do them any good. 'I he Edwardsburg cagers led our fighters until the last few min- utes of the game and the score changed to 15-16, in Eau Claire’s favor. Mason got loose, made a dribble and sunk the pigskin into the netted rim just before the game ended and gave Eau Claire the victory of 15-18. TOURNAMENT As usual the tournament tells the tale of the year to the basketball boys. I he drawing was held in Niles and Eau Claire drew Edwardsburg for the first game with Stevensville to play the winners of the first match the following night. Edwardsburg withdrew from the tournament because of their bovs breaking training rules and forfeited the game to Elan Claire by a score of 0-2. I he second night Eau Claire met Stevensville on the large gym of Niles and the scoring was started by Mason making the first basket for Eau Claire, but this favorable start soon changed and Eau Claire was left far behind in the score. Our boys were in a terrible slump and seemed unable to work the ball down the floor, even missing easy shots when they did succeed in penetrating Stevensville’s defense. I he game ended with the score 11 to 55 in favor of Stevensville, thus giving them the right to enter the tournament at Kalamazoo along with Bridg- man. Eugene Mason. BASEBALL THE season of 1928 o]iened with unusually bright prospects for a successful baseball team. Only one member, lbcrt Schram, had been lost from the team bv graduation. We were very fortunate in the jiossession of two verv good pitchers in Mar- vin Clark, the star of the previous season: and Vi Ion Daisy, who developed rap- idly. The unusual feature was the first game with Watervliet. In the first inning the locals scored nine runs without a hit. This was due to the wildness of Water- vliet s pitcher and the inability of the catcher to hold his assortment of curves. I he schedule consisted of six games, of which we won four and lost two. I he scores are not available on account of the failure of Coach McKinncv to keep careful records.

From the early Greek and Persian struggle at Thermopylae, through the reign of Napoleon, to the battle of the Argonne Forest, the great international evil of war has played a dominant role in the drama of world his- tory and civilization. Ruined countries and the downfall of once supreme em- pires have been the price of excessive war. Truly, as in the words of the King of Kings. He that taketh up the sword shall perish by the sword.” These im- mortal words were the finale of Napoleon’s career, though, physically speaking, he did not die by the sword: vet far greater, his dreams of supreme rule over Europe perished with the sword. To every nation, regardless of its strength, the price of war is paid three- fold : in finance, in morals, and in human sacrifice, the cost which touches most the heart of every good citizen. Each nation has seen the storm of war come creeping across the sky. its restless clouds darkening the nation with sorrow, pain, and suffering; robbing its citizens of the necessities of life. During the last great war. the Wall Street Journal” tells us that it cost the allies 17.500.000 dollars daily. Imagine it—$17,- 500.000 dollars! This outlandish amount of money spent daily to send the flower of manhood into battle and, in many instances, eternity. What could our nation do today with over 17.500,000 dollars toward promoting education? It could send thousands of students through the best universities with the result of a higher standard of citizenship for the future generation. W ar today as in the past has no consideration for the priceless value of towns, villages, and the beautiful public and private buildings within. Europe awoke to the realization of this fact in the last war. Hundreds of towns and villages with their magnificent cathedrals fell in ruins. The love for home and reverence for God made them priceless in the hearts of the peasants. Go with me. if you will, to the province of Normandy. It is early morning; the sun is slowly awakening in the east; and climbing the steps of the great cathe- dral. a Norman maiden enters and kneels before the Holy Virgin. In one hand she holds her prayer book and in the other her rosary. Her head is bowed; she is in the presence of God. Suddenly through the sacred stillness of the early morning she hears the scream and throbbing whine of shells. Hurriedly she leaves the cathedral, and a moment later turns to see all its grandeur crumbling in ruin. I'he day passes into twilight, and the peasants turn from the fields to their homes in the village. Picture the sorrow and anguish in their hearts when they find what was once their home in a mass of smoking ruins. Twilight slowly fades into evening, and in vain they listen for the familiar strains of the Angelus; its message of hope and rest silent for the first time in centuries. Before them in ruin lie their homes, all the fruits of their labors, the pride and joy of their humble lives, taken from them in the course of one day. The God of war laughs K 8] .; 19 2 9 g - MAROON AND WHITE THE PRICE OF WAR—Continued to himself; his prank is well played; and he goes on, leaving the smoking vil- lage. cathedral, and heart-broken peasants behind. In early childhood every Christian mother teaches her son the two great moral commandments: “Thou shalt not kill and “Thou shalt not steal;” and it is her prayer that he shall cherish these words through life. Years pass, and the hoy grows to manhood. Suddenly the clouds of war darken the heavens; his life is thrust into the storm of human strife; his nation calls him. The spirit of patriotism thrills him to the finger tips, lie must go! Then the voice of war whispers to him and says. “Thou shalt kill the enemy” and “Thou shalt steal the enemy’s territory.” Sadly my friends, the teachings of mother fade with his childhood into the past. War tries men’s souls, inspiring them to bring forth their qualities of noble- ness and to stand up for their own convictions. The madness of war drives them on; the instincts of barbarism seize them: brother turns upon brother; ties of friendship are severed as they fall into the vain carnage of human strife. It is a vain strife; the sacrifice of humanity brings only sorrow and regret. In itself it is a great price and it is still greater when we realize it is a futile sacrifice. One of the great issues of the last war for the allies was to crush mili- tarism; yet. today, France and Italy are living in the golden age of military su- premacy. Navalism today is the supreme pride and power of England and Japan. Yet. those brave heroes who fell in the last war died with one consolation, that they made the supreme sacrifice for high ideal; hut today we realize that we a e paying homage to men who fell in vain. Unjustly, the innocent must suffer and bear the burden of war. Picture, if you will. November 11. 1918. The streets are filled with people expressing in every conceivable way their joy at the tidings of peace; hells are ringing; whis- tles are screaming: the whole nation is crying in unison its joy in a proclamation of peace. Then, my friends, we leave the joyous crowd and pass down a quiet street to a home that seems apparently deserted. In the window gleams a gold star. Inside, a little boy piteously asks his mother about the absence of his father. The tears come to her eyes, and she tells him, as best she can. that his father is gone to the land from which there is no return. No rejoicing is in her broken heart; she alone must pay the price while the beneficiaries of war count their gold. Before the war her home was a happy place; and in the evening when the dav’s work was done, she would sit with her husband in the soft twilight, and to- gether they planned their future happiness. Then, like a thunderbolt front the heavens, that blood-thirsty monster. War stepped in and tore asunder home, the greatest institution in all the universe! To some, war is a glorious, thrilling, romantic incident. This might have been true in the days of chivalry, hut today it is a struggle to secure the almighty (Continued on 'aye 75) — MAROON AND WHITE ALUMNI Class of 1897 Xettie Tennant—Mrs. H. H.

MAROON AND WHITE THE PRICE OF WAR—Continued (Continual from piu c 6q) dollar and to satisfy the human instincts of jealousy, envy, and selfishness. To those who have participated in actual conflicts, it leaves memories that only death can erase. They never wish to discuss their experiences, but rather, bury them in oblivion; for to them war, stripped of its gold braid, brilliant uniforms, and brass bands, is wholesale murder! Today we value the things of life according to the price we pay. Is it not evident that the price of war exceeds its value? This fact alone reduces war to absurd foolishness, the first and only resort for the ignorant. It is out of place and inefficient in this age of education. In spite of this, some individuals be- lieve war is necessary to eliminate the increasing population. A wise policy in- deed to send the best specimens of manhood into a common battlefield to kill and injure themsleves like a stampede of wild steers to make room for the oncoming generation. No! In their minds they died for higher ideals than that. For conscience sake we cannot cherish such a policy. If we do. we have deceived them into their untimely graves; and to our conscience comes a voice from the depth of the grave, “If ye break faith with us who died. We shall not sleep, though poppies grow in Flanders Fields.” Vet, we have not learned the lesson of war. Nations, like foolish children who fail to profit by punishment continue to wade in the blood of manhood. It is for us to realize the price of this great international folly. It is everything lost and nothing permanently won. The value of war is buried in its own price. At the dawning of this realization among nations, we shall also behold the dawn of peace. And in the garden of tomorrow when all other flowers are faded and gone, the flower of the spirit of peace will bloom through eternity, hallowed by the spirit of those who gave their last supreme sacrifice for the ideals they cher- ished as right. And while we gaze at the white crosses that mark their eternal rest, let us realize that here manhood perished not. Let us join with them in heaven’s anthem of peace. “For to them war left no heritage of hate. For them today a common banner waves. Should we. who live, bv hatred desecrate the fellowship of hero’s hal- lowed graves ?” —Edwin Gustafson. a2 acm ( O 19 2 0 EL� '751 MAROON AND WHITE Jokes Vere— He made the best after-dinner speech I've ever heard.” Nub— How come?” Vere— He said, ‘waiter, give me the check. ” You bore me.” said the cork to the cork screw.” Never mind, I have gotten you out of a pretty tight place ” Jay— What would you do if you saw a woman being washed out to sea?” Gene— I’d throw her a cake of soap.
