It has been our aim in publishing this Osky Wow, to put into permanent form, a record of he school year of 1924 and 1925.

HOOD Of all the persons connected with the school, Mr. Hood, undoubtedly, is the most familiar to the students. His popularity with the student body has been gained by his genial personality and his appreciation of young people. For twenty-three years he has been connected with tfie school and during that time his only aim has been to serve the people with whom he is connected. • He seemed, at all times, to be able to recognize and appreciate their ambitions and desires and was ever ready and willing to lend assistance wherever possible. This friendship existed not only with young people but with his fellow citizens also, for at three different times he has been Commander of the local Post of the G. A. R. He has also been Adjutant of the Post for twenty-five years. These activities speak far more plainly than words the standing of Mr. Hood among the people of his town and especially among the school students. Page Eight “The greatest thing in the world—love.”—Drummond ; Although Mr. Kinnison has not been actively engaged in school work for two years, we feel quite sure he continues his interest in the student body of Kinnison Hi, particularly in the Seniors. For this reason we like to carry his picture in the annual. Page Nine “Half the joy of life is in little things taken on the run Page Ten JOHN F. GLANDON, B. S. in Ed. Ohio University Superintendent There ard fcwo classes of people—leaders and those who are led. Noone can deny that our superintendent is a leader in the best sense of the word. Never too busy to greet the student with a kind word, and with a smile for everyone, Mr. Glandon commands respect and admiration from all. � ‘Ambition, like a torrent never looks back” k LUCY B. JONES Jackson High School Principal ft, The students of Kinmson Hl h School fsh to express their sincere thanks to Miss Jones for her untiring efforts for them. She is a hard worker, but never too busy to listen to the most minor things a student may ask. We do not need to write much about her, for we can condense into two words her real character— A Real Woman. T age Eleven Be slow in considering but resolute in action' M. A. HENSON, B. Ped., M. Ped.

Page Thirty-Two “A rolling stone gathers no moss” nttur (ftlass JJnrnt BY MARIK HARPER (’25) A man once planted an acorn In a spot ihat was rich and warm; The raindrops fell, ihe sun shone bright, Ar.d the acorn bursted into life In a weak ar.d tim.d lorm. The acoin thrived as time passed by, And became a mighty tree— Thus it was vne “Woodland King” Grew from a tiny seed. Just a group of jolly Freshmen—brimming full of pep and vim, Ever striving on and upward toward our goal; Well was chosen for our motto the old challenge “Sink or Swim,” And we had a faithful pilot who would warn us of the shoal— Wain us as the Inchcape Bell “Ralph, the Rover” warned of old. Swiftly sped the weeks and months-soon the Freshman year was gone; Sophomores. How vain and proud did we appear, Noted lor our school activities—a list varied and long. Any “clouds of doubt” had vanished and the sky to all was clear We would soon be royal Juniors, when surprising news we hear. Still and tianquil lies the waters of a lake beneath the moon, On the shady banks the grasses in the breeze do gently sway; A rock thrown in the water, and the scene will turn to gloom ’Til the water becomes quiet and peace drives the gloom away— Pilot Kinnison has left us. Heaven bless and guard his way. Juniors. Cne more year, and our High School life was done; Junior-Senior was that year the one big thing. All helped, debaters, singeis, artists; (there was work for everyone) Prepare for the reception, ar.d helped our success to bring, ’Twas the best one e’er in Jackson, and its praises loud did ring. Hurrah. Hurrah. We’re Seniors now, our goal is almost won Fiom wor. by trip our “Scholar ship” comes homo with prizes won; Our “Energy Will Bring Success,” cur roads wiil not be smooth; Let us be the tortoise, not the hare who sat and took a snooze. But do our best, and leave the rest, and hope we will not lose. The acorn grew to a mighty oak; Our class are the Seniors now— We, who were insignificant, Have traveled on a mile; But like the oak, we had to grow To fill our place and need, After all, it’s hard to raise an oak If you plant a mustard seed. So It’s Hurrah! Hurrah, we’re Seniors! A class wth seventy-five; Hurrah for dear old K. H. S. And the Class of Twenty-five.

Humor Qllaaa liatnrti By VIOLET CRAMBLIT ’2f Let us turn back, in retrospect, to the time when we were eighth grade graduates. When we were seated on the rostrum during our graduation ceremonies, naturally, our thoughts were turned toward the future. We then anticipated our high school life with much pleasure and all during the summer we looked forward to our Freshman year. We entered Kinnison High School in 1921 with an enrollment of about 125 students. It was rather difficult at first for us to adapt ourselves to the new routine, but we gradually became accustomed to our mrw duties. Little can be said of our Freshman year as there was no event of primary importance. We elected class officers but did not have to contend with many social duties. We were not given a very large range of subjects that year, so most of the students took the classical course. We entered the Sophomore year under the supervision of a new corps of teachers and a new superintendent. At the beginning of the year we elected our class officers. Two or thiee parties were given at different times of the year, all of which wre very enjoyable. Perhaps the most importane events of the year were the two one act plays, “Ope-O Me-Thumb” and “Two Crooks and a Lady.” Another important event of that year was our participation in a debate with the Freshmen as our opponents. We had solved, that ex-ve erans of the World War the affirmative side of the question: “Reshould be granted a bonus.” Next came our Junior year, which was the busiest of all, both with social and school duties. We were given a greater choice of subjects and many of the students carried five subjects. Our class officers were Walter Evans, president; Clarence Davis, vice president; Thelma Jacobs, secretary; Dwight Shumate, treasurer. The election of class officerrs showed wise judgment. We had the honor of having four of our classmates holding distinguished positions on the Osky Wow staff, viz: Arnim Fillinger, manager; Clarence Davis. assistant editor; Benton Swanson, art editor; Gwendolyn Glandon. Junior reporter. We also were well represented on the Skeleton staff. Margaret Shoemaker was chosen assistant editor; Dwight Shumate, assistant business manager, and Billy Ervin Junior reporter. The Junior Class presented the play, “Adam and Eva” at the Crescent Opera House. The cast was carefully chosen and the characters displayed unusual dramatic ability. Some money-making ventures of the year were a picture entitled “Wanderer of the Wasteland” at th'e Victory Theatre, and a Valentine Carnival at the Crescent Opera House. Both were well attended and were enjoyed by our patrons. Near the end of our Junior Year on April 24, came our biggest social event since our advent in K. H. S. It was the banquet held by the Juniors for the Seniors at the Cambrian Hotel. Th hall was beautifully decorated with a blue and silver color scheme. It was declared a great success by all who attended. It proved that we had done our best to show the seniors our great respect for them and that we have been trying to live up to their motto: “We Lead, Others Follow.” Page Forty-Eight “Doubt of any sort cannot be removed but by action” SOPHOMORE CLASS Officers Florence Peters President Winifred Parkinscn ..

When the class of ’27 entered High School, we thought we had reached the height of our attainment. We soon found that we were sadly mistaken. Many of our Freshmen were elected to the Glee Clubs and helped to win the Eis teddfod prizes. We demonstrated our dra malic ability by giving an entertainment at the Presbyterian church. The proceeds were used to buy books for the library. Later in the year an inter-class debate with the Sophomores on the Soldiers’ Bonus Bill was participated in. We upheld the negative victoriously. As the leaders of our Freshman class we elected Betty Sloan president; Charles Chapman, vice president; Glenora Hess, secretary; Frances Motz, treasurer. As class colors we selected purple and gold; as our flower, the pansy; as our motto, “Loyalty and perseverance.” Our class during this year has begun to show their real worth. With three all “A” students, the winner of the Lincoln essay medal, one football man, three basketball men, six baskeball girls, three baseball men, besides our talented musicians, we feel that we have contributed our share towards the welfare of K. H. S. Each success that v e have attained inspires us to strive for greater heights. When we came back to school as Sophomores we had an entirely different feel ing than that of the previous year. We now felt at home and were no longer con sidered the babies of the school. The Sophomore class seems to be ruled by the girls. Our officers are: Florence Peters, president; Winifred Parkinson, vice president; Avanell Elliott, secretary. We changed our class flower to the lily of the valley.

He then picked up some of the books he had secured from his last victim. The first one he opened was a diary, which for the sole purpose of passing away the time he started to read. It was dated from September, 1924, to May, 1925, Jackson, Ohio. “On the 8th of September, I with 107 other pupils entered that institution of higher learning called “High School ' We were a green set of students, most of whom were oager to learn the rudimnts of Algbra, Latin, or any other study which we might choose. “We were assigned various rooms under the supervision of Mr. Ladd and Misses Wagner and Martin. We were confused the first day, for we were unaccustomed to our surroundings and environment. Often each teacher would find a strange face in his class. “We were called ‘Freshies’ but even under this severe teasing we did not lose sight of the fact that the dignified seniors were once in our lowly position. “After we had become accustomed to our new surroundings and the much changed schedule, we settled down to the regular routine of Freshman Life. Then seeing the need of efficient, leaders, and to make our class one of the most noted in its accomplishments that has ever entered high school, we chose four of the most efficient, leaders we could find. In Co- reta Arthur, our president, we had a leader capable of filling the duties bestowed upon her by that office. The others selected were Walden Jenkins, vice president, Lucille Booth, secretary, and Mari on Slavens, our trusted (?) treasurer. “Our Freshman Class proved to contain much musical and athletic ability. It. furnished members to the football team, many to the girls’ and boys’ glee clubs, orchestra, basketball, and baseball. In addition to these school activities were the social affairs superintended by our preside lit. “At the end of the first semester a Science Club was formed, composed of the Biology, Physics, Science, and Chemistry classes. The freshmen took a prominent part in this club. In fact all the officers were freshmen.” “Well,” said Captain Kidd, as he raised his eyes from the thumb worn pages of the diary, “those were surely wonderful days. If I had gone to school with these students I would not be in this dishonorable occupation. But,” as a sudden thought struck him. “it is never too late to learn. Let’s quit this business and go to Jackson.” At the setting of the sun, when the waters were enveloped with a golden mist, a large schooner could have been seen raising her sails in the dusk, and the boat could have been seen raising her sails in raising her sails in the dusk, and then the boat could have been seen ploughing her way through the muddy waters toward the mainland of the good old U. S. A. Page Fifty-Seven “Love is a debt never paid in full” sf FRESHMAN PARTY A Class Party was given by the freshman class on Saturday evening, April 11. The party was held in the basement of the High School. The rooms were beautifully decorated with the class colors. The evening was spent in playing gtames. Many of the students received prizes for winning contests. Later in the evening delicious refreshments were served. This party was greatly enjoyed by all who attended. The attendance was not as large as desired, because of the weather, only 48 being present. The president and the various committees deserve much praise for carrying out their duties to such perfection. THE SCIENCE CLUB A Science Club wafs organized in November, for the purpose of advancing the interest in the study of Science in Kinnison High School. The club met once a month wpth only the students of the school taking part in the program. They showed a decided interest in the meetings by taking part in the program whenever requested and attending the meetings regular. The students attending thc i meetings obtained a wider range of knowledge along the scientific line which would not have been available if the club had not existed. The club this year was a great success and it should, if possible, be resumed next year. w Page Fifty-Eight “Spare well and spend well” Kinnison High School has had a debating team for three years now. There seems to be a pre-disposition tp lose the debate, no matter what it is about. In the three years, only two teams out of six have won. The Jackson negative team defeated Ironton in 1923, and the Jackson affirmative team defeated Athens in 1925. But do not blame the losers. They worked and they worked hard. The fault lies in the manner of selecting the ones who are to debate. Up to this time the debaters have been selected almost wholly from the Senior Clsss, with one exception. This is not, a very good system, because it gives the student only one chance to participate in an inter school debate. It would be much better to select a team that would have representatives from all classes in high school. Not only would there be more good material to select from, but the de haters would also get more experience. Mr. Henson, who coaches the debating teams, recognizes this lack of experience in his former teams as one of the things that caused us to lose debates, so he is teaching a class composed of Freshmen, Sophomores, and Juniors, the principles of debating. Tnis class meets after school. From the looks of the material Mr. Henson has to work with, in the future Kinnison High is going to win debates instead of lose them. The work of Mr. Henson as coach is appreciated. His chief ambition is to have both the affirmative and negative teams to do their best, whether they win or lose, and above all, to be ladies and gentlemen.

Secretary Anna Margaret Morgan, ’26.............................Treasurer The Home Economics Club was organized at the beginning of the school year, September, 1924. There were fifty members who were Freshmen, Sophomores, and Juniors. Monthly meetings were held at the High School Building, or at the Home Economics Building. These meetings were very interesting and the programs were very good. A Taffy Pull and Kid Party were substituted for one of the meetings. It is needless to say that these were enjoyed fully as much as the meetings would have been enjoyed. The Home Economics Club had a Candy Sale at the High School Building and at the Central Building, by which they raised money to help pay for the Victrola which was bought for the Opportunity Boys. During the Automobille Show of 1925, the Club had a display of all the different articles which they had made in that year. By the help of Miss Danford, their teacher, they had a wonderful display. Considering everything, the members of this Club are very well pleased with their work of the past year. Page Sixty-Four “Make hay while the sun shines” PUBLIC SPEAKING CLUB Officers Yail Miller ....

Treasurer This is t,he first year the Public Speaking course has been offered in our High School, so, to assist in the work of making great orators of us, we have organized a Public Speaking Club. Its members are pupils from the Public Speaking Class. This Club holds a meeting once a week at the home of a member. The first part of the evening is devoted to business ar.d study. The latter part is given over to a social time. Miss Wheaton acted as guardian of our club the first semester, but left us at the beginning of the second. We were very sorry to lose her as she was very efficient. Miss Wheaton’s place was taken by Miss Wagner. We find her to be a good chaperon and capable teacher. We sincerely hope the Public Speaking Class of '20 will see fit to organize a club and “to carry on the work which we have, thus far, so nobly advanced.” 0 Page Sixty-Five “The joy of doing good surpasses every other enjoyment” COMMERCIAL CLUB HARPER STEVENSON £l5ttMCLE Jmu G LLtLANJ A5HLEY C LINE a “It is easier to keep up than to catch up” COnr LRCIAL CLUB ftks LEWIS MLIER 'SHUMATE HATTEN JORDAN HILVENBRAND HESS EJSAA AM HI LIE NtRMP f CE COLVIN WASTIER HOLCO Ad Ti v w ttcMHISS ERVIN MDWDce RICE Page Sixty-Seven “The idle brain is the devil’s workshop” THE HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA Prof. R.

It reached its acme in 1921 when there were the piano, eight violins, one trombone, two saxaphones, drums,' three clarinets, one claraphone, five cornets. The Orchestra is an institution of merit for not only does it give players much practice, but offers them opportunities in college, symphonic and dance orchestras. There are quite a few who have joined good orchestras upon their own merit, and recommendation in their diplomas of having played in this high school orchestra.

Professor Thomas took the position last year as music director in the Jackson Public Schools, and he organized the girls of the high school who were interested in music into a Girls’ Glee Club. This club is one of t.he many organizations in K. H. S. which we are proud of, and we have a perfect right to be, since for three consecutive years they have won the prize offered by the Southeastern Ohio Eisteddfod Association for high school choruses. % THE HOYS’ GLEE CLUB Many efforts had b(cn made previous to the founding of this organization, to form a Boys Glee Club. But it was not until two years ago that any of the efforts was successful. With the advent of Prof. Thomas, the idea became a reality. By his determined efforts, he succeeded in organizing a boys’ glee club. There are about fifty members in the club this year. Wherever it has sung, the club has been given great applause, for the public seems especially to appreciate boys’ singing. It has met a great need in the high school by assisting its participants to develop their talents to their fullest extent. Effoits have been made to establish it as a regular school subject, but thus far 'this plan has not been fully carried out.

The place was beautifully decorated, the decorations being all than Halloween demanded. Corn shocks, pumpkins, orange and black paper, and pumpkin shaped lanterns were used most effectively. Everything at M )e Carnival was liberally patronized and the proceeds came up to the expectations of all. JUNIOR VALENTINE CARNIVAL Among all the activities sponsored by the High School, the Junior Valentine Carnival stands out in bold relief. This most enjoyable affair was given at the Crescent Opera House, February 14. It was a success from beginning to end, the Juniors working loyally for the class. The Opera House was converged into a very beautiful place by decorations of red hearts and crepe paper ribbons. One of the special features of the evening was a solo dance given by Miss Pauline Rogers of the Sophomore Class. The carnival was pronounced the best ever given in Jackson, by all present. THE SCHOOL EISTEDDFOD Much credit is due Prof. Thomas for his splendid work with he music in the Public Schools. Last year was his first year here and to the surprise of everyone he had the children of the Public Schools give an Eisteddfod, and it was a great success. Again this year it was repeated, with even greater success than last year. This is one of the activities of the schools of which we are rightly proud, because as we believe it gives the youth an opportunity ar d an ambition to develop his or her talents and a taste for the more noble things of life. THE JUNIOR-SENIOR RECEPTION This is the one social event in the high school students’ career which really stands out. It is an annual affair given by the Junior class to entertain the graduating class. The Reception this year was one which the Senior class should reallj? appreciate, because of the fine banquet, the splendid program, and the games and other activities. These required much effort on the part of the President, of the Junior class and the different committees which had charge of the plans for this Reception. It was enjoyed by all, and we are sure the Senior Class is very grateful to tjie Junior Class for this splendid Reception given them. yv fl Page Seventy-Four “Success is not a free gift, but must be purchased at great price % s3§£s= L iFoot Sail FIRST ROW—Hess, McCoy, Hawkins.

Ututinu of Reason After two weeks of practice the football squad motored to Portsmouth to open their season. The Jackson team took the field with only three letter men in the line up. Both teams exhibited the usual early season characteristics of ragged tackling and poor interference. After five minutes of play the Portsmouth team pushed over a touchdown, by a series of plays through the Jackson line. Although the Jackson line was contesting every inch of the ground, they could not hold their opponents. The defensive work of Walker at full was one of the outstanding features of the game, also the playing of Wood and Hawkins, the two tackles. Near the close of the game Jenkins, playing his first game at quarter broke loose for some nice gains.

Since the last two games played with them had resulted in scoreless ties, there was much interest manifested in this game. Jackson received the kickoff, and Whitaker returned the ball 20 yards, before being stopped. The Jackson team opened up an offensive attack that quickly carried the ball to Oak Hill's thirty yard line where Jackson lost on a fumble. The team showed a good defense and held their opponents in midfield. Several exchanges of punts followed, with Whitaker receiving the advantage.

WALDEN JENKINS “Wally,” although playing his first year of football, handled quarter and end in veteran style. We expect great work from him next year. We will give only the games and the scores up to the last and most important game, the Thanksgiving game. The third game of the season was with Middleport on our home field, the score bringing to our list one more defeat, 18 to 13. The next game was with Gallipolis, ending with a score of 24 to 7 in their favor. The following week our squad journed to Middle-port, only to bring home one more defeat 25 to 0. The next to the last game of the sea- son was played at Ix gan, where our boys suffered a defeat, which we hesitate to mention. Although they were defeated at Logan with a score of 55 to 0, the boys’ never gave up. Now let’s see what they did in Uieir last game, which was playqd with Oak Hill on our home field Thanksgiving Day.

DWIGHT SHUMATE “Doc” was a dependable man. When he was at the end of our right wing, we knew very few gains would be made around that side of the line. games of the school's history. Both teams appeared at their best, but Jackson was far superior to their opponents. Each team fought with remarkable spirit and at several times Jackson’s goal was in danger. One of the most thrilling parts of the game was the spectacular run made by Hannigan on an intercepted pass for a gain of about 40 yards. The plays of Jenkins, Walker, and in fact the whole team were commendable. The loss of victory came as a great surprise to Oak Hill, as this is the first time in three years that they have been defeated by our eleven. The Jackson team enteied the ganie with a great confidence and did not lose it at any time during the game. The support given each team was at. the very acme for at this game was collected about as large a throng of spectators as had ever gathered on the home grounds for the final game of the season. Page Seventy-Nine “It is folly to answer false accusers” WILLIAM WYKLE “Bill” was our sub tackle and showed up well in the games he was in. He will be one of the stars next year. GORDON REYNOLDS “Gordy weights only 125, but he held down left end in fine style, until he received a fractured arm. Better luck next year, Gordy. MYRON WILLIAMS “Jeff” was 'the comedian of our team. He gave the opposing center no end of trouble. He was also good at blocking kicks. Many of the alumni were there cheering along the side-lines as they had done in formrr years when they attended the school and the game was at its climax, and with the support of all these fans the members of the team knew that they just could not lose. At no time, however, during the fcame did the cheerers substitute “razzing” for good sportsmanship, and all who saw the game proclaimed it as one of the cleanest and fairest games of the year—for both teams. Although the red and white won only one of the seven gridiron battles of the 1924 schedule, it cannot be said that the team was a failure, for many things must be taken into consideration when judging the success of the past season. Playing a heavy schedule with few experienced men on the team, the team scrapped through disheartening contests, with a courape that would credit many a Jackson team that had closed the season with a long string of victories.

All indications pointed to a winning team for K. H. S., for only three letter men were missing from last year's line-up. For pitchers, we had Capt. Pritchett, a veteran of last year, and Gilliland, a snappy southpaw. In center field was manager Young; at first Brady; and third, Garrett; all veteran players. Merrill Lewis at second, and Whitaker at short, completed the infield, with Wykle as utility. In the right and left gardens, we had new men, McCoy and Lyons, W. Ridge was utility outfielder. Gordy Reynolds was working behind the bat, along with Capt. Pritchett. The first game was with Petersburg, whom we defeated in a sensational last inning rally, 4-5. Gilliland and Pritchett formed the battery and displayed midseason form, with twelve strikeouts. The work of Young was outstanding, as was the batting of Whittaker. Next we entertained Oak Hill. We gave the Red and Greens the short end of a 3-0 score. Excellent base-running was d splayed in this game and Gilliland had thirteen stiike-outs to his credit. Then came our ancient rivals, Wellston. At the end of the seventh inning we were leading 7-0; but when the smoke cleared away in the eighth, we found the score tied 7-7. K. H. S proved herself master of the situation by scoring the winning run in the ninth, when Garrett crossed the plate on Young’s single. As we write this, we have one more game on our schedule, a return game with Oak Hill. Due to the fact that we are having only eight months of school, our baseball season was limited to four games. This year we will lose Manager Young, Captain Pritchett, Lyons and Garrett by graduation. lull TOP ROW—Garrett, McCoy, Lewis, Lyons, Pritchett. SECOND ROW—Reynolds, Wyckle.

When the football season opened only four letter men were on the gridiron. In battling through a disheartening season, we finally trounced Oak Hill, in the Turkey Day game. We feel that our season was a success, in that we developed a team that should have a successful season next year. A winning team is not developed in one season. After the pigskin was put away, Coach Jones organized a basketball team, the Rink having been leased. This was our first basketball since 1911. We surprised the surrounding schools by being able to develop a team with lots of fight and one that displayed unusual ability for a beginning team. After Christmas a girl's team was organized. None of the girls had ever played before. With an abundance of material, K. H. S. was able to place a team in the field that won four out of the seven games played; also they were runner up in the district tournament. We lose only one player by graduation. With the first signs of spring, we began with the baseball work, with only two letter men missing. We had a winning team. As we print this article, we have won all three of the games played, with one more victory to work for. Next year the outlook for athletics in K. H. S. is exceedingly bright. We have joined the Southeastern Ohio Athletic League, and will have to do our very best, as we are playing teams of high caliber. It is up to K. H. S. to make good.

It was the talk of the dressing table. Every since the maid had set the dainty pin cushion on the mantel piece by m's-take and had forgotten to take her back, one had but to mention the incense burner and the rouge blushed violently, while the little traveling cock covered her face with her hands. For ever since Miss Pin Cushion had been placed on the dressing table there had been a deadly rivalry be-tween the perfume bottle and the smelling salts as to who would win her porcelain hand. And then with no warning at all, she had fallen head over heels in love with the incense burner on the mantel, and when Marie, the maid, picked her up she was placed, not back on the dressing table, but right on the mantel beside the object of her affection. The way the smelling salts carried on brought tears to everyone’s eyes. “Well, I guess everyone thinks it disgraceful the way those two carry on,” said the dresser cover flatly. “Oh, no, not at all,” said the vase. “I think it is perfectly all right, and they are just too sweet for words. “You would,” the scissors cut in sharply, “everyone knows that you’re cracked, any way.” “I wonder who the young people will have marry them,” said the candlestick. “Probably the button hook.” “I think he is crooked myself,” remarked the ink bottle darkly, “but they say he’s awfully good at hooking up.” “I think Dr. File would be fine. I’ll admit that he’s rough on the outside, but he’s true steel beneath.” “At any rate,” remarked the scissors brightly, “we all know who will give the bride away.” “Of course, the rouge always does.” Through all this conversation the incense burner smoked calmly on, regardless of the black looks from the ink bottle on the desk, while beside him his comanion gazed adoringly into his face. Back on the dressing table the table comb snarled through his teeth, “It isn’t ♦hat he loves her; that wouldn’t be so bad, but it’s just to spite the perfume bottle. They always have hated each other, and their scents do clash. Why, whenever the perfume bottle is near, Mr. Chong simply fumes.” At this moment, the door opened and the new and awkward chambermaid entered, and going to the mantel gave it a rub with a dust cloth. Her elbow gave Mr. Chong a slight push and he bumped into lovely Miss Pin Cushion, who, being on the very edge of the mantel ,lost her balance and fell to the floor, where she was scattered to a thousand pieces. The powder puff paled with fright. “There,” cried the picture, shuddering through his frame, “he’s knocked her off; he ought to he put out!” Page Eighty-Five “Hatred never seeks to do justice” iRahiogram Yraurbef, 32,591 139 Tuntschc Ts Noskcaj, Mars By ALBERT HESS '25 Many long years have I been a captive on the planet of Mars, with its terrible in habitants called “Noaycks.” But never shall 1 forget those good old days spent in K. H. S. As you shall see, part of this nianscript is written in a very strange language; ah, the language of these terrible people that inhabit this planet which has become so miserable to me. But although I have been in contact with people usiifg this language for many years, I think that I am still able to write English, so, that, after possibly a long study you will be able to decipher it. I suppose you wonder how I happen to be a captive on this planet Mars. Before 1 suppose you wonder how I happen to be a captive on this planet Mars. Before fate bestowed me, a captive, on this planet, 1 was an aviator of high reputation. Yes, quite high, for highness was another way of spelling my doom. For one day while attempting to establish an altitude record, it suddenly seemed that some unknown magnetism kept pulling me upward. My plane finally collapsed beneath me; I expected to go hurling to the earth, and to my death. But death would have been Paradise compared to what I am suffering now as a captive on Mars. Instead of falling to the eath and death as I had expected, I went hurling through space at a more terrific speed than before. Although I was moving through space at such a great spewed I was able to think clearly, and was gicatly pu v,ed as to the outcome of my adventure. But within a very few minutes, as I calnny noted by mv watch. I was gently dropped cn something solid, and I longiatulauu myself on being dealt with in such a gentle manner. Presently I saw coming toward me a group of men—no, not men, but giants compared to mankind on earth. I had never seen such grotesque figures before in my life. None of these creatures were less than twelve feet tall, and some were fifteen feet in height. Each had three arms, with hands similar to talons. Their faces were so hideous that it would hurt one’s eyes even to glance at them. With such uncouth inhabintants as these you would suppose that this planet of theirs is of the most primitive type. But, friends, in Science and Learning and in all ways, they have greatly surpassed the wildest dreams of the people on the earth. For instance, their engineering feats are preponderous. Can you visual'ze a building 0,000 feet high? Such are the tasks that they have accomplished. Because of my being so much smaller than those people, I was considered by them as a mere child. I tried to talk to them in my native tongue, but, of course, as I should have known, they could not understand a word of what I said. Then they began talking; no, to describe it as talk would be praising such jabbering as floated to my ear. Yes, at the top of th • page you have a sample of what their language is, which isn’t saying much. But., after a short time and very hard study I became able to converse to a slight extent in their language. I thought I would spring something on them and began telling them about the great, things that the inhabitants of the earth had accomplished. I told about the great devel pme.;t of the different Sciences cn the Eaith; about Radio, Chemistry, Electrircity, etc. They merely laughed at me and pointed to my head, as if to denote the lack of brains! They told me that their forefathers had accomplished such trivial things hundreds of years ago. So according to what they had done the Earth is yet in a primitive state. Now you are beginning to wonder why I stated that I have been a captive for many years. When I first arrived at Mars I was considered as very ignorant, and perhaps a litte off in the top story, by that highly intellectual type of being. Consequently, I was given a good place to stay, and taken very good care of. After having been here for about a year, I was riding down the street one day in one of their huge automobiles, which I was permitted to use at times, and I accidentally ran into one of their citizens and killed him. In a very few minutes there was a large crowd gathered about me. They were yelling at me, “Supersqualnacu- caines” and “Squabbynodundeous.” In our language those two words are “crook” and “murderer” as nearly as I can translate them. I was roughly handled by the mob that had assembled, until several officers of the law arrived, after which I, as was to be expected, was thrown into jail. It was about a week later when I was brought before what we would call a “grand jury” and was indicted for first degree murder. My trial was set for the following week. As the day approached for my trial there was great preparation on the planet. The people acte1 as though it were a holiday season. At last the day for my trial came. They provided a lawyer to defend me, and he did notably well. But I stood no chance at all, for every member of the jury, in which there were ETETETETET jury, numbering 25, was prejudiced against me. All the evidence was at last given ard the jury went into seclusion. All but three of the juryment held for electrocution. The jury was out for two weeks, but at last agreed that I was guilty, with a recommendation for mercy. So I was sentenced to the dungeon, as they call it, for life. So this is the somewhat sad story of my sojourn on Mars up to the present time. I don’t think I shall be able to with-stard the hardships that are now imposed upon me on this terrible planet much longer. May I bid you good-by, hoping that sometime we shall meet again!

BY MAURICE LEE SCHELLENGER After seriously comparing all of my journeys, I have come to the conclusion that my journey across ihe Atlantic in a rowboat is perhaps the most interesting of any I have ever taken. About thirty years ago, when Bill Bryan stopped drinking, I started out on a scientific adventure for the Unit fed States Department of Child Welfare. At that time, the reason for my journey was concealed by saying that 1 was going into Central Africa to establish a Coca Cola plant for the Standard Oil Co. I started out with one rowboat, a trailer, and enough provisions to last for six months. I embarked on Salt Creek, President Garfield being present to push the Betsey Ross off of Plymouth Rock. I floated down Salt Creek and in time floated out of the New York Harbor. As I steamed past the Statue of Liberty, a squad of aeroplanes accompanied me, but the tremendous pace I set was too much for them and they soon disappeared in the v .stance. All went well for the first ten days. In the daytime I lived in the rowboat, and at night I slept in the trailer. I had no compass, but 1 was guided by the moon in the ., ume and the sun at night. I received mail regularly. The postoffice department had huge electric fans to force the bottles in which the mail was placed, out to the boat. Then the fan company went on a . tr.ke and all means of communication were cut off. The first real adventure I had was with the whale, after I had been at sea for forty days and sixty one nights. I was taking my usual Sunday afternoon nap, with the buzzards softly lullabying me to sleep. When I woke up I was inside the whale floatirg around in his alimentary canal. Luckily I had a safety pin and a jack-knife and cut my way out of the whale. When I got out, so much water no damage to the boat, only washing off went into the whale that it sank. It did the Octagon Soap advertisement from the prow. Then came the most severe storm that has ever disturbed the Atlantic. But I had some Gabriel Snubbers with me and put them on the “Betsey Ross and she weathered the storm with ease. On the 90th day out I approached an island. I was delighted to feel solid ground under my feet again. I parked the “Betsey Ross in a small harbor, and started out exploring. I was walking was suddenly interrupted by seeing a gi-alor g, picking dandelions, when my stroll ant form in fro it of me. I looked up and saw a huge savage confronting me. I can’t describe him row, but later, I recall, I described him to interested listeners as an excellent advertisement for a cigar store, and glanced around for his establishment. He gave a peculiar call and immediately there appeared about 6000 savages. One of the savages said something to one of the others and he said something back to him. I couldn’t tell what they said and I doubt seriously whether they could or not themselves. But there’s no use to argue this point for the fact remains fiat they said something. They took me about a mile into the interior and escorted me upon a raised platform. One of them opened his mouth and let out a shrill yell and pointed to me. I supposed he wanted me to sing, so I started singing Yankee Doodle wirh variations, but my singing had a remarkable effect. The savages stuck their hands over their ears and the leader struck me in the mouth. I can’t imagine to this day what was the matter. I finally found out what they wanted to do with me. They were having an auction and were to bid me off. After a lot of heated bidding I bought myself for six cocoanuts. Then I embarked again to complete my journey. I completed the rest of my trip successfully, but a surprise awaited me. The British Navy was out wailing for me to come. I found out afterwards that the Inter-Cities Oil Company had conspired with the natives of Centra Africa. They had persuaded them to prevent the Standard Oil Company from establishing a Coca Cola plant, for they wanted to establish a pop factory. I finally had to tell what my real purpose for the trip was, although I didn’t want to. I had aready found out so it didn’t matter so much. The ocean does have permanent waves. As soon as Iwas released from the British Government, I tried to call up the people at home over the telephone. I coudn’t get them for there had been a storm at sea and the wires were down. I enjoyed the trip very much, for it was very instructive. The United States Government gave me its sincere thanks for my investigations had cleared up a very serious problem for them. I - Page Eighty-Eight “Character is what you are in the dark” Snipe BY VERTIE GILLILAND Hope is one of the most precious jewels which has been given to man. Let us go back to Mythology and see how Hope came to our world. We find that Nature and God, seeing a confused and shapeless world—nothing but a dead weight in which slumbered the seeds of things—put an erd to this discord, which was called Chaos and made the earth. They made the hills and valleys, created animals and at last made their noblest animal—mart. Promethus made him of earth and water. Epimethus who bestowed upon the animals the various gifts of courage and strength, sent to Jupiter for something to bestow upon man. His gift was woman. This woman was Pandora whom Jupiter sent to bless man. She was given a box into which God had put some blessing. She opened the box carelessly one day, and all the blessings except Hope escaped. So whatever evils are abroad, Hope never entirely leaves us, and while we have That, no number of other ills can make us completely wretched. Here is what the author Homer says about Hope: “Things past belong to memory alone, Things future are the property of Hope.” The star that leads and guides us onward is Hope. It is the universal cure of all ills that we endure. Hope is almost life itself. When Hope is lost, life is done. Hope is the only thing that can ease a sad heart. It always causes us to look upward and for things better. When some great, sorrow comes to us, do we not trust, and hope that tomorrow will be better, and so spend our lives hoping? If it were not for this hope we could never look into the dark future and bear on. Hope is the only thing that keeps the man, condemned to die, from going mad. He hopes until the last minute that something may interfere and his life will be given him. It has been the Savior of many an innocent man who has had to suffer untold a °r.y, because of some one’s error. Goldsmith says: “To the last moment of his breath On hope the wretch relies; And even the pang preceding death Bids expectation rise.” This same poor wretch, robbed of hope, would be a madman seeking to end his own life. To accomplish anything we must have Hope. Cur highest ambitions can never be realized without it. But Hope alone cannot attain that ambition. Hope and pluck together has gained every man’s height of ambition. We must not confuse ourselves by thinking that to accomplish something, we have only to hope for it. That is why Sir Philip Sidney says: “Hope is the fawning tiaytor of the mind, while under colour of friendship it robs it of its chief force of resolution.’’ So we understand that hope must be accompanied by faith and resolution to really attain anything. But you say that Faith and Hope are the and believe, while Hope is to desire with same. They are not. Faith is to trust the expectation of everything turning out for the best. Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen; yet faith cannot endure without Hope. Let us have Hope and let us aid it by yet faith cannot endure without Hope, pei severance, and when we are sad and disheartened, let ns think of these few lines from LongfeiTftw’s “Rainy Day’ : “Be still sad heart and cease repining, Behind the clouds the sun is shining, Thy fate is the common fate of all Into each life some rain must fall, Some days must be dark and dreary.” Page Eighty-Nine “It is a long lano that has no turns” A tSarr With Ipatli BY H. GLENDON STEELE The time when this incident took place was about initiation time. All Freshmen had been dreading this time, but it seemed as if it had to come. The poor Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors were crying for vengeance and they were determined to take it out on the Freshmen. I was studying or rather sleeping, like all Frtshmen do, when my father asked me to take a letter to the post office. With a little hesitation I decided to go. The night was dark and dreary but 1 was not afraid because I had forgotten about the initiation. Just as I was passing a dark alley several dark figures appeared before me. Immediately I was seized, bound, gagged, and blindfolded. '1 hen I was lead away. After walking miles and miles until I was so tired that they almost had to drag me behind, they forced me down through what seemed to be a hole in the ground. There my mask was removed and I discovered that I was in the “Cavern of Graves” and before me stood Death with all his helpers. You cannot in the least realize what my feeling was while standing there face to face with Death. OH, what I would have given to be out of that place and away from the horrible old man. it is really hard to realize what it is like to come within so close a range of Death. Maybe you don’t know what a horrible looking thing he is but I will describe him as I saw him. He is tall and slender. The only parts of his body which can be seen are bones, in short he is a skeleton. His long bony fingers are such horrible looking things. Wnen I saw him he was dressed in a black garb. As I was standing there Death slowly and creepingly came forward and I awaited the end. I was so badly scared that I didn’t move. Just as he was about to touch me his helpers called him as de for a conference. At last they seemed to decide upon a plan. I was to race with Death. The race began at the shot of a gun. I was far ahead ai first but as I neared the goal I tripped over a wire which had been purposely laid and I fell with a groan. I was too badly hurt to get up so I hid my face in my arms and Death won the race. As I lay there I wished that Death would finish his work when he touched me with those icy fingers. “Oh,” was my last word and I felt the end. “What are you groaning about,” asked father, “I thought you were studying and here you have been dreaming.” This is just one of the little horrors of the Freshman at this time of the year. Of course you older students shouldn't have made life so miserable for us but you just wait until we are Sophomores and we will be justified in doing likewise to the Freshmen.

NATURALLY ENOUGH, when the staff determined that this year’s annual should far eclipse previous yearbooks, they came to THE STANDARD-JOURNAL with their problem. They realized that for their work to be truly successful, the stock, composition, and presswork must all be of a high standard.

Quaker Filet Curtains are not only attractive, and appropriate, but give years of satisfactory service. At $1.98 to $5.98 per pair.
