For truth that's plainly shown In time of test and strife. Its aims are ever higher, they reach out into life. And draw into itself strong bonds of lasting value. Mac Hi is founding fortunes That gold could never buy, And the world can never take Lasting fortunes that weave themselves Into the moulding of the lives Within its keeping. Mac Hi is building memories That time can never change. For it would be a dreary place to stay If one could not live again the joys we knew.

Their first year in high school was quite calm. A few members of the class went out for athletics, but as a whole the year was uneventful. As Sophs, however, the present seniorus made some record for themselves. They startled the student body by refusing to obey the ultimatum issued by the mighty seniors. They later atoned for this breach of etiquette, however, by providing a feed and bonfire for the Newberg rally. The Sophs also took a prominent part in the Hi Jinks given that year. In their Junior year the class of '27 increased accordingly in dignity and importance, a few were even more so than the Seniors of that year. The Juniors put on the play. “Seventeen.'’ with the help of Miss Wilson. They followed the preceding class's example and printed a Junior edition of the McMinnvillian. They established a precedent by changing the annual Junior-Senior reception to a banquet given in the Gray Room of the Hotel Elberton. During their last year in school the Seniors have upheld class and student body traditions to the utmost of their ability, they have sponsored the Honor System and have been foremost in student body activities. Outstanding events of the year were Senior dress-up day. Senior class-nigh. Senior play, A Full House, Flunk day and the Junior-Senior reception. The Seniors have sponsored a policy of good feeling and cooperation during their four years of high school life and they wish to thank the faculty for the inspiration and help given during that time. They also wish to thank the underclassmen for the splendid backing given to everything sponsored by the class of 27.

And our hearts are sad as we have to part, And to Mac High say goodbye. Did you ever think what these years have meant, To us who are leaving you. And we say goodbye to dear Mac High, And to friends both old and new. Well, this is the end of four perfect years, And the last of this journey, too. And we think of the joys that we have had. And the things we used to do. For memory has painted these High School days With pictures that never die. And now we wish to say to Mac and to Mac High friends GOODBYE. ■flit CLASS MOTTO From life’s school into the school of life. Mower Rosebuds Color - - . Old Rose and Gold 3� 2?e � i 5 Senior Class Prophecy After years of absence from dear old McMinnville, bow good it seems to return from the great wastes of my Australian sheep ranch to the companionship of those old schoolmates, long dear to my memories. How strange the walks of life they tread upon from those I have fancied in my fond imagination. (For with the exception of Leon Beal, my chief herdsman. I have heard nothing of them these long years past.) Being hungry. I walked into the Tourist Cafe and what to my wandering eyes should appear but Clair Sitton. chief cook and bottle washer thereunto. And when ordering my corned beef and cabbage who should wait upon me but my old friend Ruth Powell, of former fame as a chorus girl, but who, owing to rheumatism in her left heel, was forced to forsake her career. Having completed my meal I wandered up to the high school to drink in old familiar scenes. L.o and behold! beside the historic building 1 saw a great edifice with the letters inscribed above the portals. GYMNASIUM! Although I wished to see the inside. I passed on and entered the high school. Happening in Mr. Bump's former room I saw Lucille Davis teaching the dear students how to write chemical heirogriphics. She. however, took off enough time to tell me that John Stallings was expected to graduate the next year. Leaving the high school and attracted by the sound of a band I went up to the main street and saw that there was a circus parade in progress. Riding on a donkey was Pete Barnes, clown. He was overjoyed to see me. but said that he enjoyed acting natural. He also said that Hildegarde Henderson was in the side show as the fat lady and that George Smith was also in the business billed as the only human smokestack in existence.” Tiring of the noise of the circus I went for a walk and met LaVerne Finley. I asked her what Archie was doing and she replied: ' He’s up in Winachee growing sea food.” What?” says I. “Yes,” she replied, he's growing crabapples.” I saw George Massey sweeping the street in front of the mansion of Paul Carmichael. a noted physician. Stopping to talk with George I found that Lawrence Hostetler had become president of the St. Joseph First National Bank. Randal Pine was trying to graft strawberries on to a sugar beet with a milkweed stem so he could market strawberries, sugar and cream without bothering about growing them separately. Much of his advice was gained from Robert Simonson, who was teaching agriculture at the high school. Robert Morrison had taken up the ministry and Donald Pugh was a missionary to the South Sea Islanders. Leon Redmond was practicing hitting windmills as he was intending to star in the new picture, Don Quinxote.” Mary Bollen was running for state representative from Yamhill county. She reformed after divorcing her tenth husband and has resolved to marry no more. Mabel Sawtelle and Oney Williams were running a home for helpless bachelors. Olivia Margeson. Verna Smith and Viola Zulawinske were looking for three other basketball players to form a team with which to challenge the team from the Old People’s Home. Vera Altimus was cashier for the aforesaid First National Bank of St. Joseph. Mr. Vernon Beard and wife (nee Esther Larson) made a fortune in selling secondhand gum and are now spending the summers at the beach. Irwin Wisecarver was running an educated sheep ranch in Eastern Oregon. Velma was a good housewife and milked the cows and chickens for Bus. Jay Bixler had been chosen as chief bat boy for the Linfield baseball team. Edna Breeding was traveling the country helping the girls organize S. P. I. D. Clubs. (Society for the Prevention of Illegal Dates.) Nineteen '©(! « K •■K55S I Lillian Paul had been taking lessons in reversing the directions of cars and had succeeded in turning them around one in ten times without hitting both ditches. Alta Brown had been trying for the national typing championship. Her latest speed was 110 words (per hour). Maxine Cameron and Hazel McDonald have organized a home for underclassmen. Annabel Clements and Elizabeth Davidson are field representatives for the Marguerite Doak. who has changed her name, is collecting statistics on the average number of dates per week each high school girl has. Warren Dunn is directing the latest comedy. “Wandering Willies.” Clarence Simerly recently won a hog-calling contest. Philip Fletcher is running a taxi. Ruth H. (use your own judgment as to what the H. means) is keeping house. Alfred Eborall is up in Alaska milking frozen cows and selling the ice cream to the Eskimos. Opal Helm is directing Sousa's band. Marjory Hewitt is writing advice to the love lorn in the Oregon Journal. Gene Inskeep is the chief soloist for a leading chorus. Bill Lambert and Herbert Zehring have joined the marines and are seeing the world through a porthole. Jessie Cruickshank has been using classified advertisements to get herself a husband. Evelyn Dupea has become an old maid (by preference—daya understand!). Lois Inskeep has become private secretary to John Kirsch, attorney at law. Rowena Latimer is the county health nurse. Anthony Phelps is selling stock in a proposition of putting a frame around young trees so they will grow flat and save sawing them into boards. John Sauter is still running around. He says that he is a woman-hater, but he loves the girls. Genevieve Toney is running a hot dog stand on the highway. Elizabeth Watkins is writing popular songs. Alice Sitton may graduate in a couple of years if the high school burns. Marguerite Reider has become a classical dancer. Lois Sanford has gained much notoriety because of her numerous jilted lovers. Learning that all had found such hectic careers. I decided to go back to Australia to my sheep ranch, where the only dumb animals had four legs, so I bid George goodbye and hopped into my private aeroplane and waved farewell to McMinnville. S. P. C. A. Twenty ------- Senior Class Will We, the senior class of twenty-seven, being about to leave this sphere in full possession of a sound mind, memory and understanding, do make and publish this our last will and testament.hereby revoking and making void all former wills by us at any time heretofore made. And first we do direct that our funeral services shall be conducted by our friends and well-wishers, the faculty, only enjoining that the funeral be carried on with all the dignity and pomp our situation in High School demands. As to such estates as it has pleased the fates and our own strong arms to give us, we dispose of the same as follows, viz: Item: We give and bequeath to the school board restful nights and peaceful dreams. We promise them a rest from our petitions for a gymnasium. Item: To the faculty, who have deceived us into thinking we were smart unto the final examinations come, we leave the right to continue such tactics. We know they would do it anyway, but will probably succeed even better with the good will of our class. Item: We do solemnly submit unto the class of twenty-eight, of McMinnville High School, the right to assume the name and responsibilities of Seniors!” We also leave to them the right to go on a ‘‘flunk day.” Item: To the class of twenty-nine we leave undying hope that they will carry on the good work for the school that twenty-seven has made such a noble start toward. Item: We, the seniors, on the subjoined classmen the following as entailed private estates. I. Lawrence Hostetler, leave my presidency of the senior class to Robert Frerichs. To my wee brother I, John Sauter, leave my enormous cud of gum. To Ruth Beal I, Mary Bollen, leave my love for certain Linfield boys. I. Philip Fletcher, give and bequeath to George Weeks my ability to consume large and frequent quantities of “fire-water.” To Fred Paul I, Alfred Eborall. leave my feminine deplumance. Unto Leo Fletcher I. Don Pugh, leave my reputation as a speed demon. To Carl Kauffman I, Archie Finley, leave my toil-worn, tear-stained text books, including my much enjoyed “Whizz Bang.” To Milton Crimmons I, Leon Redmond, leave my nymth-like figure. Unto Ogden Cameron I. George Massey, leave my huge proportions. I, Pete Barnes, relinquish all claims and give my football poweress to “Smiles” Knapp. To the sophomore class I. Randal Pine, leave my ability to sit at all student body meetings and never say a word. Unto Dorothy Kimball I. Ruth Powell, bequeath my winning ways. I, Gene Inskeep. leave my graceful athletic form to Arthur ‘Canterbury, but not my Rowena. To Dorothy Fisher I. Alice Sitton. leave my ability as an accomplished soprano. Unto Bruce Walker I. Raemer Schreiber. leave my abaility as editor of the paper. In witness whereof we, the class of twenty-seven, the testators, have to this our will set our hand and seal this nineteenth day of May, Anno Dominie, one hundred and twenty-seven. CLASS OF '27. Twenty-one 3ll----- OFFICERS President..................................FRED PAUL Vice President - JOHN HARRINGTON Secretary ..... LUCILLE BARKER Treasurer ------ SYLVIA LlNDLEY Junior Class History The Junior Class of this year has been as peppy a class as any in the high school. The class has participated in several activities and many members have taken part in football, basketball and baseball. A Junior play, entitled, Sunshine,” was given April 18th, 1927. A farewell banquet was given to the Seniors on the 13th of May, this party being carried out in the Spanish idea. On May 18th the annual class picnic was held. The Juniors took charge of decoration for baccalaureate and commencement. Many minor events and activities took place during the year, one interesting one being the preparing and buying of the treasure chest for the Seniors. This chest contained the invitation to the Spanish Banquet. Every member of the Junior class has put forth an effort to make this year a big one and it has been a splendid year—a successful one.

They were led by Leo Fletcher, who proved himself a reliable president. They aided on the athletic field and took active part in many of our other activities.

Graduation takes nine lettermen. but a strong team will be found in the number left. LETTERMEN (Captain) Vernon Beard. Vernon started the season at quarterback position, but later played fullback or end. Vernon was a consistent ground gainer. This makes his last and third year. Bill Lambert. William stepped into Vernon's position at quarterback and proved successful at calling signals. We also lose Bill at graduation of 1927. Archie Finley. Arch was a sub at the first of the season, but later on proved himself a good man to hold down the right tackle position when Buddy Beard was shifted to end. Archie is also a graduating senior Don Neer. Don was excellent at catching passes and stopping end runs. He also graduates. John Sauter. Johnny held down the center position successfully. John was not so strong on offense, but could certainly stop them on defense. Lawrence Hostetler. Bob played a steady game at guard. He could stop 'em if any one could. It will be hard to find a man to fill his place for next year. John Magee. (Capt. Elect). John was one of the best and most consistent tackles. Mac Hi is glad that John will be back next year.

Coach Clock came to us this year, and out of a scrubby group made a victorious team No. the team didn't win every game but every game was a victory—a triumph because •'Audrey'’ taught the girls to be good sportsmen. Miss Clock not only taught the girls the fundamentals but freely gave of her valuable time, and diligently drilled and drilled the girls in various other tactics. She stood by Old Mac s team through thick and thin, and proved to Mac that she was the best little coach Mac Hi has had for several years. Coach Clock has a large place in the hearts of all our girls and her influence carries far. Although she cannot be with us next year, we wish her the best of luck wherever she goes and in whatever she undertakes. If she ever coaches another group of girls as well and competently as she has our girls' team she cannot help but have a champion team.

The following have made the coveted M : V. Beard, O. Beard. J. Bixler. Cameron. Peterson. Empey, Eckman, L. Fletcher. Barnes, Flail and Graves. V. Beard—“Verne,’ our strike out king showed the opposing batters how real pitching looked and by giving them an occasional hit kept up his winning streak. O. Beard—“Buddy’s first basemanship kept the team on edge. He was very good at digging up low throws and his batting gave Mac a number of needed hits. J. Bixler—“Jay's outfield work was the sensation of our playing. He roamed far from center both ways and took everything that could possibly be handled. Jay also led the team in batting. O. Cameron— ’Og. Although Og is small in size, his big mitt was a deadly trap for a high fly in left field. A. Peterson—“Andy played against a handicap as he had an operation at the first of the season, yet he played a very consistent game at third base and handled hot liners and grounders with ease, and his whip beat out a number of would-be safe runners on first. W. Empey— Willie played a nice game at second and by steady playing cut off a number of would-be hits. L. Fletcher—“Leo played his first year as catcher yet he filled “Flute” Lambert's shoes and kept Verne winning games. He has a good peg and nailed men stealing bases. H. Barnes Pete at last made the team and he worked like a veteran handling long would-be hits and he worried every pitcher by plugging hit after hit. H. Hall Har played a beautiful game at short and will be a valuable man next year. M. Graves—“Manse pitching and playing second showed some real pepper. His single in the 1 1th inning scored the winning run against Amity. Those helping and on the squad were: Warren Dunn, Oril Fuller and Harold Bixler. M. Stow—Manager. Thirty-four ---- ©«.■ -«§ � - HARSHBKRGKR COOK WALK Kit Tennis Summary The tennis team ended the season this year when it finished a match with Tilla-mook here, winning the first set of singles only out of two singles and a doubles match. For the first time in the high school’s history, or for many years, this was the first season that there has been a tennis team. The season was finished successfully, but luck seemed quite turned against it. In the first matches against Pacific Academy from New-berg. Mac was very unassured and lost, but in the second tournament when the team travelled to Newberg with Dean Harshberger and Chet Cook representing, they took that match two out of three, winning the tournament. Salem was the next team that was invaded, but since the high school of that city had experienced men making an excellent team. Mac did not win any of the matches, but made a fairly good showing. When Salem high journeyed here they had no hard time defeating the locals, but in the doubles Mac held them back for a good showing. Next Mac travelled to Tillamook on which trip Coach Kidder and Chet Cook had some very bad luck when the car in which they were riding smashed into a bank, thus ending the tennis game as far as they were concerned. Harshberger and Bruce Walker, however, continued with the match, losing both of them. Neither of them played like they would have had not bad luck been set before them. When Tillamook came back to Mac the local team was lying for her revenge. Harshberger played the best sets of the season in his singles, tiimming his man 6-3, 6-3. Walker lost bis singles, and then Cook and Harshberger went wild in the doubles and lost. This was Mac high's last game of the season. Thirty-five ©•------------------------------------------------ A New Gymnasium SxOwly, perhaps, but none the less surely, there has been forming, in school and out, a very marked sentiment for a new gymnasium. The inadequate facilities of the armory as a gym, its distance from school, the fact that the girls use it but little and the majority number of students not at all— these reasons bespeak the worthiness of the cause. One of the hopeful signs was the purchase this year by the school board of a half block near the high school. It is understood that this is the site for the gym. On Field Day this spring a fetching appeal was made for a gym by a decorated float, which was in the parade through town. The effectiveness of the appeal was evidenced by the applause which greeted the auto as it passed along Third street.

Quite an extensive program was attempted, including a Mixed Chorus, Girls’ Glee. Boys’ Glee, and Boys' Quartet. After more or less earnest practice the boys assayed their first appearance in public. In sorrow the curtain was drawn and they returned with the firm resolve to “show em yet. And they did. In fact their Negro Melodies became quite the rage. From the Boys Glee was picked the quartet. The basso profundo was Warren Dunn, the melodious baritone. Archie Finley: the popular second tenor, Herbert Zehring, and the thrilling first tenor. Jack Pike. In the intervals the girls and mixed chorus were working hard. The crowning climax was the trip to the State Music Tournament at Forest Grove, where we entered 25 contestants in six events. Although no prizes were brought home, we acquired a score of 96 out of a possible 100, plus enough experience to bring home the cup next year. Later we gave a thirty minute assembly program, and concluded our year's work by singing for the Senior Baccalaureate service. May the ghost of our warblings haunt the halls of our Alma Mater.

Just as our student body has achieved distinction for sportsmanship, so the school paper strives to be courteous to and appreciative of rivals in any kind of contest. It seeks to promote every interest of the school—athletics, dramatics, debating, the Lincolnian. Whatever Mac High stands for. The McMinnvillan” fosters. To be the medium of general opinion, and not merely the organ of the editor's own ideas, is one of the goals towards which the paper strives. One of the features of the year was a symposium on the Honor System, wherein there were all shades of belief from “we will” to we can't” or “we don't want to.” More expressions of opinion on live topics of student interest would be welcomed. “The McMinnvillan” likes to encourage its readers to think. The past year has been one of the best of its six years of existence. Under the able editorship of Raemer Schreiber it has maintained its high standard. He and other members of the staff have spent long hours working on each issue, never abandoning the task until the paper was complete in the hands of the printers. Financially the paper has prospered. Mary Bollen, manager, has been aggressive, persistent—and the balance sheet tells the story. Under Helen Evans and Irene Fuller, elected editor and manager respectively, for next year by the Student Council, the prospects are excellent for another successful volume. Both have served as assistants during the school year, having their fitness for their new positions. The 1926-7 staff is as follows: Editor. Raemer Schreiber: Manager.

Nov. 1 7. was a success in every way. The vaudeville contained much more variety and originality than the previous ones. It was also a great financial success as $175 was cleared, which was turned over to the Athletic Department. The first feature of the vaudeville was a one-act play. A First Class Hotel. Alfred Eborall played the part of the landlord and Leon Raymond the eccentric literary man. Raemer Schreiber was the sauerkraut merchant and Warren Dunn another fidgety drummer. “The Flapper Chorus” was one of th ebig hits of the evening. This chorus was composed of boys, who were dressed like girls. Martin Bell played the part of a “sheik and successfully flirted with each one. “Cynthia's Strategy.” a one-act operetta, was cleverly portrayed by Ruth Powell. Paul Carmichael. Archie Finley, and Naomi Wood. Other skits and features were: “Fatima. given by John Stallings and Jack Pike, and the next surprise was a school room scene. Whoever would have thought that Clarence could be such an adorable baby? The Song Girls then presented a clever little skit, singing many songs. The next. “The Comical Country Cousins” was. in common vernacular, a “knockout. The cast was perfect and the audience enjoyed it thoroughly. In fact, with some of those in the audience, it seemed rather personal. The band is also to be complimented, as they contributed a great deal to the success of the vaudeville. Miss Clock, Mrs. Johnson, and Mr. Bump, are all to be congratulated on the successful presentation of this vaudeville, as each one gave to this a great amount of his time and efforts. “Sunshine” “Sunshine.” the Junior play, was presented to a full house at the Lark Theater. March 18. The play was very entertaining, humorous, and all the characters were portrayed with great success. While the plot of the story itself was not particularly heavy or intriguing, there was enough drama in it to make it very appealing to the audience. The characters of the play were: Sunshine. Ellen Corbett: Buddy Brady. Orville Beard: Sylvia, Marjorie Peters: Jim, Francis Riley: Mr. Butternip. John Harrington: Tessie Midford. Arthur Canterbury: Maudelia McCann. Irene Fuller; Mrs. Phipple. Helen Evans: Major Kellicott, Elliott Cummins: A Nurse. Joanna Jenkins. The play was coached by Miss Clock and managed by Mr. Maxwell.

This certainly was a record breaking house. The students will hand it to the faculty for attracting audiences. Mr. Louis Seggel proved to be a matrimonial specialist rather than a suicide specialist. He engineered two successful love affairs beside his own. His methods of love making combine the cave-man method and that of the hesitant lover. Miss Titus, as Peggy Bedford, made an adorable nurse. All the audience felt very sorry for her until it was discovered that she was the cousin of Doctor Milton, and then they all wanted to see her fiance. Clara Kingston, represented by Miss Clock, had undergone a bitter experience that impelled her to fling herself in front of a truck. Inspector Nolan dragged her away and by bringing her to Dr. Milton's office caused her to become the doctor's chief worry. Her own cause of worry was Nurse Bedford—until all was explained. Then there were no more tears and hysterics. Professor Sumner Mansfield, played by Mr. Fisher, was a weary old pedagogue who became pepped up by association with the rest of the would-be suiciders. He became a glutton (in his own opinion) and decided, at the doctor's suggestion to come up to date. That had never occurred to him before, when he was at least one thousand years behind the times. Mrs. Early, as Madame Natchi, “the greatest prima donna living.” decided, through Dr. Milton's help, to continue to give the world the benefit of her God-given voice. Being “wedded to her art” she didn't pair off with anyone, not even the antiquated and lonely bachelor. Professor Mansfield. Miss Sczuck impersonated Lila Beverly, a chorus girl who had seen much of life and didn't like it. But while awaiting the time to swallow a dose of poison she came to like Ralph Norwell (Mr. Bump) a reaper of wild oats, and both decided to live. Fannie Falmouth, taken by Miss Bruce, was a sour old maid who tired of the lover's advice column she wrote for the papers until she was mellowed by association with Robert Wareham (Mr. Buchanan), and decided to learn a little about love through personal experience. Wareham was a Wall street plunger “flattened out'' by a little too much plunging. Inspector Nolan, or Carl Condit. was a droll Irishman who. though he had never kissed the blarney stone, certainly showed the influence of his Irish ancestry. He was a convert to Dr. Milton's method of leading folks to the brink—and inducing them to cling to life. Miss Northup appeared in the play in the first act as a keen-witted collector of rent, much to the embarrassment of the almost bankrupt Dr. Milton. Miss Clock coached the play to a successful finish, and Mr. Maxwell was the able manager. The profits are estimated at about XI 75, one-fourth of which will be given to the Mississippi relief fund and the balance applied on the athletic debt.

Paul C.: Er. ah—well—they are con- siderably cheaper than day rates. He dropped his cane on an “L” station platform and made several vain attempts to stoop over to pick it up. An obliging platform man picked up the cane with the remark, “What's the matter? A little lumbago? No. I bought these suspenders in Scotland and they won't give. Blake: Say. that new mechanic is cer- tainly absent-minded! White: How come? Black: He walked in here this morn- ing. said Good Morning to the time clock and punched the Boss. He: Dearest, I love you and want you for my wife. She: Heavens. I didn’t know you had a wife. A bachelor is a man who has taken advantage of the fact that marriage is not compulsory. He (gushingly): Haven’t I seen your face before some place? She (frigidly): I shouldn’t be sur- prised. 1 seldom go anywhere without it. Louis C.: What’s the strongest day in the week? Jack P.: Saturday? Louis C.: No. Sunday. All the rest are week days. A born marksman. Coroner finds driver had taken only four lessons before hitting car. 1st guest (at a country road house): Charmina place this—seen the old wing? 2nd guest: Ah. yes. Had it for din- ner. Giddy with Goodness. What’s the matter over there? A boy scout did so many good turns he got dizzy. Was your garden a success this year? Oh. my yes! My neighbors chickens all took first prize in a poultry show. Pete B.: Say. there’s a man across the street who said he’d give $500 to see you. Leon B.

Not a thing. He thinks the pole vault is in a bank at Warsaw. How much better off we'd be if they'd but that sign on the mail box! What sign? Post no bills. Teacher: Give me a sentence using the word vicious. Little Johnnie: Oh, ye gods and little vicious! 1st Fellow: What are all those num- bers they holler before they throw the football? 2nd Fellow: Those are signals.

Mrs. Gildea: Fill up Herb's plate. Miss Titus: Who was the strongest man in Rome? Lyle Buck: Caesar, he pitched his camp across the river. Engineer: Yes’m. he’s dead. He was killed by a revolving crane. English Dame: My word! What fierce birds you have in America! It chanced one day that Colonel Nimrod. the huntsman, was out with his double-barreled shotgun and nothing but bird shot for ammunition. While scanning the bushes for his feathered quarry, his ears were assailed by fierce, angry screams. Looking up he beheld a tremendous eagle swooping toward him. Instantly bethinking himself of his lack of suitable ammunition for coping with the eagle, he threw himself into a posture of defense and awaited the onslaught. The eagle was an immense bird, measuring ten or twelve feet from tip to tip. and with strength in proportion. It neared Colonel Nimrod, but he did not retreat. Instead, he concentrated all his mental power in the gaze of his fearless eyes, and by his silent, courageous attitude he made the eagle quail. Then he shot the quail! Archie: Every time I kiss you it tends to make me a better man. La Verne: Oh. you angel! Mr. Fisher: What do you want to study most for your semester exam? Bus: Well, what are you going to ask us? 1st Dub: I just got a set of balloon tires. 2nd Dub: I didn't know you had a balloon! Some people we know are like a river— small at the head and big at the mouth. Sauter: My clock went off at 8:30 this morning. Schreiber: Has it come back yet? Customer: Waiter, I’ll have a pork chop with fried potatoes, and 1 11 have the chop lean. Waiter: Which way. sir? Sitton: My intellect is my fortune. Mr. Fisher: Ah. well—poverty isn't a crime. ©(i Sixty-one '26 Alumni M. H. S. James K. Eckman—Housekeeping. Ruth Wortman—O. A. C. Jessie May Irvine—O. A. C. Lynn Triplett—Working here and there.
