IF I ONLY HAD ANOTHER CHANCE When the sun rises in the east, and the dawn brings that one day of all days to the Senior's mind, Commencement, a thought comes to all of us. Those who are to receive a reward for their work are happy in one way and sad in another. Each one looks back and sees the mistakes that have been made. If I only had an- other chance-yes-I would do so many things that I didn't do, and what grades I would make. We find we have wasted so much time and if we had another chance we could go back and make some of it up, but time and tide wait for no one. Some may not be satisfied with the studies they have taken. He or she may not have the required material for their future work. Many, many times have we heard the remark from those who have left school: If I only could have that chance again. Some have utterly failed in their life work and others by mere chance have made use of the knowledge they did have and made a success. Perhaps if they had made use of these gone-by chances some might have made a success and others better success. Our great grandparents and even some of our own grandparents did not have a chance for education. They see the present day opportunities and say Oh, if only I had had that chance. We should take notice of these facts and make the best of all the good that comes our way. Do things well in the future that we will not have to look back and wish we could do it over again. Many activities in our school have been carried on more successfully this year. Yet, we hope for greater improvement along many lines. Our two literary socie- ties should accomplish far more. If pro- grams for the entire year were arranged at the beginning of the semester, better results would be obtained. Students, de- vise plans during your vacation hours. Why not have the championship in the tournament in basketball in '22. We have a splendid start. Keep it up! More interest was shown in oratory this year. It doesn't matter so much if we did not get first place at Newark. Our Ora- torical in Granville showed what bene- fits we have derived from our training. We have not had those debates, however, with other schools, for which we have been longing. Now, for debating next year. OUR TROPHY HALL Who would have thought that Granville High School would ever possess such a wonder, as a Trophy Hall? Well, after a great deal of talk, we really have suc- ceeded in starting one. What a pity that such a movement could not have been started years before, so that now Granville High School would possess something really worth while. Already a number of athletic pictures have been collected, especially football teams which represented Granville High School in 1913. Perhaps the oldest picture which represents an athlethic team for our high school is that of basketball in 1906. It is true, that many of the present-day pupils do not know any of the players representing that team, but it is very amusing to compare those of the present day with those of the past. What a. curio- sity. Granville High School has already won one baseball championship pennant and why not have more than one hanging in our school? On the opposite wall of the hall will soon appear the pictures of the Blue and White staffs of 1920 and 1921. Besides these will be one of Kenneth Breeze, the winner. of first prize at last year's County Oratorlcal. H V qi Q U The following pupils received an aver- age of ninety or above in each of four sub- jects the last six weeks: Hazel Dunlap, Kathryn Howe, Wilhelmina Hulshizer, Junanita Jones, Helen Owens and Roberta Davis. In each of three subjects: Margaret Brooks, Dorothy Hobart, Earl Williams, Kathryn Silliman, Elizabeth Hale, Adaline Sipe, Dean Tyson, Berneda Lowery and Mary Case. In each of two subjects: Uree Black, Forest Loveless, Lucie Draper, Geraldine Ackley, Lorna Jones, Kathryn Rohrer, Clare Lacock, Russell Pierson, Katherine Richardson, Mary McLain, Harry Deeds, Ruth Woolard, Dorothy Blade, Georgia Ables, Ruel Carpenter, Gladys Curtis and Raymond Galbraith. The alumni are planning for a real ban- quet this year. The definite plans were not made at the time of going to press. For the desired success it will be necessary to have the co-operation of all alumni. Let us show the high school that the Alumni Association is a live one.

lfifffg gg, A BLUE QFD WHITE W V hopes for as large and good a Senior class next year, although we are aware that none will absorb knowledge as rapidly as the class of 21. To the Juniors we leave our good times, dilapidated seats in the Senior room, and our ability of bluffing through Civics. We also leave to the Juniors the work of con- vincing Mr. St. Clair of the necessity of dancing at 'social gatherings and to the same we bequeath all unused invitations to Bacon Bats and Hay Rides. To the Sophies we bequeath our trained ponies used in Caesar, and our strug- gles with said gentleman's battles, also the opportunity of following the examples set by us last year in using the writing of Physics experiments as an excuse for dates. To the Freshman, being so distant, we bequeath only our trials and tribulations as beginners. The personal bequests of the Senior members are as follows: Katherine Howe bequeaths her display of class colors to Bessie Hale. Helen Owens bequeaths her tastes in the art of love to Hazel Gosnell. Gaile Davies wills his tardy marks to any one who can use them. Lucie Draper wishes to bequeath her literary talent to John Everett. Lenora Weeter leaves her dancing ability to Delia Hessin. Frank Williams bequeaths his good faith in women to Mitch. Mabel Dicken, our Frenchy, wills her gift of gab to Dorothy Blade. Marjorie Philbrick leaves a perfectly good seat in English class, to sleep in to Frank Dumm. To John Welsh, Earl Williams bequeaths his position in athletics. Margaret Brooks and Sylvia Hall leave their Senior dignity to Geraldine Ackley and Russel Pierson respectively. Thomas Hite wills his red shoestrings to the next jinx of the school. Dorothy Hobart bequeaths her sweet disposition to Florence Bailey. Beany Evans leaves his red sweater and gray hat to Neil Crooks. Mary McLain is taken care of by Juanita Jones who leaves her her popularity. Milford Smoke leaves his beloved Mary C. to Sharer. Uree Black bequeaths her right of tutorship in French, English, Geometry and Shorthand to Myrtle Richards. She also bequeaths her noon-hour window seat to Ethel Grigg. . I I Lee Dawson leaves his popularity with the girls to George Bonham. Frances Bacon bequeaths the care of her sister Nellie to Josephine Brooks. Forest Loveless leaves his Huncalled for line to Winston Case. Wilhelminia Hulshizer bequeaths a changeable mind and a peculiar disposition to Doris Courtney. . Hazel Dunlap leaves her wonderful talent in Math to whomever needs it. We hereby constitute and appoint our worthy principal as sole executor of this our last will and testament. In witness whereof we the class of 21, the testators have to this will set our hand and seal this second day of June A. D 1921. THE SENIOR CLASS OF 1921. Here's Mr. Smith! The Seniors and other classes must not forget him. He's the one that has irade it possible for all of l us to get out of some class at some time or other. We've had a good time too. He has kept us laughing and in good spirits every Thursday. We have learned three codas, Revel of the Leaves, Fairy Land Walse and N Morning Ramble. We sang other songs too, from our little brown book. Then we learned a new G. H. S. song composed by Katherine Silliman. Mr. Smith has made it possible for us to have a splendid quar- tet-Alice Cook, Mary Chessher, Juanita Jones, and Katherine Rohrer. ,He has su- I perintended the music for the May festival given by the eight grades. MR. GEORGE J. C. SMITH

18 in W W W W A Y BLUE AND WHITE g g EHORACE T. HOUF G. H. S. students were privileged to have Rev. Horace T. Houf, pastor of the Baptist church, with them in chapel on April 7. He took as his theme the sub- ject of Abundant Living. Every one is really living or merely existing. Life originates on the inside and every day pays its way. Life is a bubbling spring by its own power purifying the water of which it is made. Like wise things that purify human life originate on the inside. We must give to the world if we expect to get anything from it. Everybody carries a magnetic current, there is a certain mag- netic field about us, which, if positive, draws others to us, if negative, there is a reaction and we repel people. Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln are won- derful examples of magnetic personalities. Good health is one of the things that go to make up a magnetic field which will benefit us. People with strong personal- ities have formed good habits which lead to good health. In the next place we should be able to direct our energy in a way that really counts and use self-control. And furthermore we ought to be useful in that we turn all our energy loose to accomplish what we have set out to do. There are some people in this world who have lost faith in human kind, but the man with the most friends is always the man who bc- lieves in everyone. The last element in a magnetic field is love. Divine love always has met every human need and always will. ' This issue is the last of our five for this school year. It serves as our annual, and the Seniors have formed the staff. We want to thank our subscribers and adver- tisers for helping us make the Blue and White possible. It means much to our school, and we hope that it has pleased you to the extent that we may have your co-operation next year. Granville High was very fortunate in the county theme contest. Three essays were submitted from Senior High and each won a prize. Mayme Zetta Jackson was given first prize, Adaline Sipe, second, and Harold Shea third. The Junior High also won two places in the grade contest.
