MATILDA MOLLENAUER, Literary Editor DAVID MAUTZ, Athletic Editor LUCILLE BARNHART, Humor Editor FRANK DALTON, Alumni Editor FERNE PRICE, Cartoonist Editorial AST year the pupils of Pleasant High .School published the first volume MXN of our annual, THE ECHO. ' The pupils published it With no experience to aid them, and this may account for the few mistakes that were made. fQ , The Echo Staff of 1921 has hoped to eliminate these mistakes and to ful- 'ifx-1'e,ef'o H11 our hope of raising the standard of education in our High School. The work of this year is being placed before the people of the community by the Senior and Junior classes of the High School. In the educational society of human minds there is an unwritten law, which has been followed by many schools, as a custom for many years, giving the publication of .a school paper to the Junior Class. Owing to the small number composing the Junior Class it is necessary to publish this annual by the creative power of the two combined classes. The success of this work has depended a great deal upon the assistance of the enterprisers of education. We especially wish to tender our thanks and best wishes to the merchants who have so amply offered their financial aid. To Miss: Wytten- bach, faculty manager and Staff adviser, we desire to place before her our oierings for her sound advice and the concentration which has characterized her work during the past year. Toward the close of this yean, these books will be distributed to those people who answer the call of Pleasant High School. The Echo Staff realizes that it is their duty to make this book serve as a 'mirror that will reflect with clearness the Work that has been done during the year of 1921. It is an old adage that breaking a mirror will bring seven years of bad luck . Let it be our ambition to continue the publication of this book and in this way, prosperity will enter the halls of Pleasant High School and will abide there as the guiding star of the pupils who will come to Pleasant to lay the corner-stone of their success. With these few words we pass these books .among you.. We have tried to make this book a fitting memory of the class of 1921 which will soon leave Pleasant High School to begin their journey over the rough road of life.-f-T. B.

Fannie Freeman President Senior Class Ollicers XT Lucille Barnhart Secretary and Treasurer Titus Boxwell, Vice President Senior Class History Four years ago a Freshman Class entered Pleasant High School. Many of theim had taken their eighth grade work at Pleasant and so were already loyal workers for the school. Though not strong in numbers, for there were only sixteen of us, we were strong in spirit, which is not a bad substitute for mere numbers. We were all maude members of one or the other of the two Litenary Societies of the school. Many of us became members of the Athletic Association and Basket Ball Teams. The Glee Clubs found us worth. while members also the debating teams, and some proved themselves worthy contestants in the Silver Medal Contests, We held our first class meeting early in the term and selected our class colors, delph blue and gold, class motto, t'Esse quam videri, decided on our class dues, and before the end of the year purchased a banner. In our Sophomore year the Girls' Glee Club and the girls of the Seventh and Eighth grades produced the operetta Princess Chrysanthemum, in which the Soph- omore Class played a large part. In that year the following class officers were elected, who are still serving: President, Fannie Freemang Vice President, Titus Boxwellg Secretary and Treasurer, Lucille Earnhart. The class then patriotically bought a War Savings Stamp. In all of the school organizations the Sophomore Class was being given recognition and respect. In our Junior year we were very busy and each member responded nobly. In that year the first Echo was published and much of its prepartion was done by the Junior Class.. Fannie Freeman was given the honor of being elected Edit0r-in- Chief of the first annual. After ai preliminary debate in the High School the de- bating teams were chosen for the Inter School -debate and the Junior Class had the largest representation of any class on the two teams. Several of the Juniors were asked to assist in presenting the Senior Class play of that year, and in it proved that they could take a part in dramatics as well as in the other phases of school life. Much honor is also due the Literary Societies of that year in which the Juniors figured prominently, for the societies furnished entertainments of considerable worth. In 1920 the Juniors began attracting much attention in Athletics. Many of the star players were Juniors and to win in Basket Ball became a proverb. And now I have come to ouri Senior year. Of it there is much to say, We have accomplished much this year and some of the things that we have been in- terested in are, debates, orations, music, the Literary Societies, the publication of the Echo and of course our regular class rooirn work. Titus Boxwell, one of our worthy members was the school's representative at the Or.ational Contest at Cale- donia. His oration was on Night Brings Out the Stars which though not given first was certainly of much merit. Boxwell is also the Editor-in-Chief of the Echo this year. The debating teams have been chosen no doubt with great care, and the Senior Class has given its best talent for the work. The Athletic record has been greatly improved this year. David Mautz a Senior, the captain of the boys' team is an excellent player in any part of the field, and all of the opposing teams have a high respect for Titus Boxwell. Of the girls' team Ferne Price of our class is undoubtedly one of the best players in the center position to be found in the County. She has an enviable record for clean Basket Ball playing. The Class of '21 is leaving Pleasant conscious of owing her a great debt for all that has been done for us in the years spent here. We feel that we can never repay her, but we do promise that where ever we may be, and in what ever station we :may find ourselves in the days to come, we will always try' tor cast only good re- flections on the school and will always speak of Pleasant with affection, reverence and respect.-M.. L. B. Senior Class Poem The Senior class of twenty-one Leaves school with many a race well run. Our lessons learned, our playtime spent, What to us, has it really meant? Dear school of ours, our hearts will show The honor's thine for all we know. You who have taught us the truth and right You who have shown us the light. Receive our praise. Four years have taught us how to live A life of usefulness. Four years have taught us how to live A life of truthfulness. , You who h.ave taught us truth and light, You who have made of use our life, Receive our praaise. And when we stand in life's front trench, If then we find we do not blenchg And when life tries our very soul, We bravely battle to the goals And with God's help our ideals keep, Intact from earthly touch and reach, You who have taught truth, use and light, You who have shown us the right, Receive our praise. And when old age has caught us dose With chilling hand and cold, And our steps falter and delay As we approach that last long dayf You who have taught us truth and light, You who have taught us use and right, You who empowered us with your might, Receive our praise.

Senior Class Will Realizing that the wings of tiime are bearing us swiftly to the close of our High School career and that we as a class must soon disband, we ,the Class of '21, do declare this to be our final will and testament. To our venerablefaculty we respectfully bequeath our sympathy for the trials yet to be endured, while trying to lift the coming generations to the high sphere which we have attained. Furthermore we hereby do express our heartfelt thanks for their words of wisdom freely showered upon us throughout our High School course. To the Class of 1922 we will and bequeath the space which we have so long occupied in the assembly hall.. Secondly, we bequeath to the aforesaid class our once dear ambition to be- which it stands in severe need, enjoining them to profit by our edifying example and to disport themselves in a creditable -manner in the years to come. To the Class of 1923 we freely give all of our pencils, pens, etc., which they may be able to find after our departure. Secondly, we bequeath to the before said class our once dear .ambition to be- come Seniors, in the hope that it will inspire them to the great effort required to attain that goal. To the infant Class of 1924, we do will and bequeath the lofty lectures by Mr. Crites, which we have heretofore enjoyed. Secondly, we freely will and bequeath to the above class all of the baby rattlers which the infant son of Mr. Crites will have outgrown by next year. Thirdly, we bestow upon them the advice to diligently peruse the book entitled, t'Advice To The Young, wherein they will find the necessary information to lead them over the insurmountable barriers encountered in their quest for knowledge. To the Janitor we do will our French books, so that he may give vent to his feelings in that language without fear of detection, should his patience be overtaxed. To the girls of the High School we do bequeath our old powderpuffs in case they should absorb so much wisdcqm that it would shine forth in their faces, To the community we freely extend our heartiest thanks for the support given us during our High School days. To the generation yet to come we bequeath our sincerest good wishes, with hope that they, in all times yet to come will hold up our Alma Mater, as we have sincerely tried through our High School career. Having apportioned our earthly possessions with malice to none, and charity toward all, we the Class of 1921, do on this, the second day of March 1921 A. D., indorse this document as our last will and testament. qsignedp THE sEN1oRs MATILDA MOLLENAUER, Attorney. yi. -Wa-fe ee e-We f e M ill 111 il Hi i I I li I4 l Til ll .ii lil: wi ,lu l .,i 1 V. i 1. .1 . i W til ' r ll i ,l fl 'ily' i. ll l yi l ii ll ll: . l i. l l l ' i l l' Iwi li ll lp Fl N ll is. 1 l All l ij' .. Senior Class Prophecy On a warm spring day, I was wandering about in a certain pine wood. It was toward evening, but not yet dark. The first shadows of dusk were beginning to creep over the land so each pine seemed to be wrapped in .a soft, misty mantle. Occasionally a gentle wind swept through the trees, creating on the listener the im- pression of a wonderful harp being played by a skilled musician. It was a scene melancholy, yet strangely beautiful. Seating myself on a fallen tree, I began thinking of my High School days now fast coming to an end. A feeling of deep sadness came over me as I thought how soon the class of '21 must part. Then I began wondering how its members would fare in life. As I was musing thus I suddenly beheld an old man coming through the woods toward me. My first impulse was toward flight, for I felt afraid, but my body. seemed paralyzed, so I remained. I anxiously watched the approach of the stranger and even at a distance marked the whiteness of his long hair and beard and the air of strangeness. sur- rounding him. His clothes were oddly cut aind I caught myself thinking that he seemed almost like one of the magicians coming from the Arabian Nights. When he had come nearer I was startled by the blackness of his eyes. He seated himself near me on the fallen tree and I could not cry out or withdraw my gaze from his. Then gradually a mist came over my eyes and the pine wood drifted aaway. In its place there stood a stately building which I recognized as the home of the Head of our Nation.. Gazing into one of its many rooms I beheld a man seated at a desk busily engaged in writing. In spite of the whitening hair and furrowed brow that fifty-five years of life brought, I recognized my old classmate Titus Box.- well now President of the U. S. I thought that the efforts made by Miss McCor- mick back in '21, to force some wisdom into her History student, h.ad after all not been in vain. Just as I was about to go forward to grasp the hand of the great Executive, he, with the mansion faded away. In the place of the White House I now saw a fair city, famous for its culture. As I caught a glimpse of the old Town Hall, I realized the city to be Boston. En- tering into one of the large buildings, I found myself in a spacious auditorium, in which thousands of people were seated, b-reathlessly waiting so it seemed, for some event. Inquiring of a woman sitting near me the cause for so much suspense, she re- plied that the greatest Prima. Donna of America would sing that afternoon. As I was wondering who this might be, a l.ady 'appeared on the stage, followed by her accompanist, a tall gentleman with blond hair. I gasped in surprise when I realized that these celebrities were ,members of the class. of '21, namely, Lucille B.a.rnh.art and David Mautz.. David, it seemed had been crossed in love, and turning to music for solace, had studied so diligently that he was now a great accompanist. As the applause died away at the close of the wonderful selection, this picture also drifted into space. Now I saw the largest city in all our fair land, where the Statue of Liberty watches the endless stream of steamships coming from the Old World. I seemed to enter a large building in which there were hundreds of pictures. An attendant informed me that this was an Art Contest, and thaft the most famous artists in the United States had entered their picures. He led me to the production which had won the prize, and looking, I saw a small tablet with this inscription, Painted by Helen Ferne Price. My chest expanded with pride as I realized that here was another classmate who haid gained fame. X Again the scene shifted to the Capitol City of our nation. I beheld the House of Representatives, and wishing to witness this great body engaged in law-making, I entered. An usher conducted me to a seat. My attention was attracted im- fffi' '-1' , T-,Z -: Z- 'T E 2 'W ' ZgeL?,e, ' ' Senior Class Prophecy---Continued mediately to a lady, one of the Representatives who was pleading eloquently for Conservation of Food ,and Better Homes.. In glowing words she painted the awful conditions in the New York Tenements, so that tears were drawn from the eyes of lrnany a listener. There was something familiar in the voice of the speaker, so I inquired of my neighbor who the lady could be. She explained that she knew her very Well, and that it was Fannie Freeman Straw. I was not surprised that my old classmate had finally married Bob Straw, who was now a policeman in Wash- ington, thus enforcing the laws which his wife was actively' engaged in making. Af- ter the session was over I joined the line which was forming to congratulate my old friend, but the longer I waited the farther away I seemed to be from my goal, until all finally seemed to sail away as though carried on a magic ship. A new vista unfolded before me. Now I beheld a bleak landscape in which nothing was visible save a few trees devoid of leaves, and a hill on the top of which was a small building, which as I viewed more closely I found to be .a one-roomed school house, situated in the wilds of Kentucky. The building opened before me and the inside was even more inviting than the outside. Twenty or thirty pupils, ranging between the ages of six and sixteen were seated on rude benches. Glancing toward the front of the building I saw a lady whose appearance could be summed in these words HA typical old-maid school teacher. She was deeply engrossed in conducting the advanced History class and did not notice the mischief hatching in the rear of the room. Soon .a little snake, about six inches long came wiggling over the Hoor toward her, and the teacher on seeing it, jumpedl and screamed in terror. I suddenly realized that the person before me was MYSELF. As I watched the scene in horror it was suddenly snatched away, as though by, a magic hand. I slowly recovered from the stupor into which I had fallen, and looked about me for the old man, who, as I did not dloubt had caused me to fall into this trance, and it seeamed that I could see his white hair gleaming in the distance. He, having read my thoughts and seeing my wish! to look into the future, had for a short time swept aside the mystic veil, and granted my desires. Night had now fallen and I arose, harstening to leave the whispering pines, which seemed enchanted, far behind 4mG.+M. M.

Beneath it rang the Freshman's cry, And Sophomores haughty praise, And Juniors often Wailed a sigh, When higher it was raised!

Most of us had graduated from the Pleasant Grammar School and did not experience any. strange feeling, for we felt that we knew every one in the school and that everyone knew us, whether they favored us with their recognition or not. During the lirst year we did very credible work in pursuance of the courses in- corporated in the school curriculum in social activities and in athletics, one of our members, Bob Straw, being picked for ,a forward position on the basketball team in his Freshman year and has remained unquestionably the star of the quintet during the past three seasons. At the beginning of the term in September 1919 we were all glad to return to Pleasant to further continue our course. We as Sophomores were shown considerably more recognition than was paid us in our Freshman year and endeavored to warrant the faith placed in us by the faculty and by the other studentsf We at this time decided to include in our studies ,a course in Agriculture for our personal benefit and in conformation with the purpose for which Pleasant High School was erected and can say that we have continued to pursue this course with much pleasure aind profit. In the beginning of the school year in 1920 none of us had as yet withdrawn, all of us being here for entrance to progress in efficiency of our school work and of athletics. At this writing each member of the Junior Class holds a regular position on one of the basketball teams. The Junior Class has never indulged in useless raillery at the classes labor, als in fact we appreciate the efforts of the lower classmen and believe that they will do credit to that institution in which they seek an education. Nor have we passed hours of torturous envy of those above us for we believe that graduation from high high is at this time within the power of any one whosoever wills.

There are eighteen members enrolled in the class of '23, composed of fourteen girls and four boys. Our class colors are green and white. We re-elect new officers every new school term. Our officers this year are Harry Mack, President, as he was re-elected for the second term, Dorothy Myers, Vice President, Carrol Green, Secretaryg .and Dorothy Lester, Treasurer. Our class dues required for each member is ten cents for each month during the school year. The Sophomore class has its stars in class work as well as in basket ball. Those from the Sophomore Class playing basketball are Dorothy Lester, Dorothy Myers, Carrol Green, Esther Yenny, Ruth Yenny, and Harry Mack. The Sophomores also take part in the literary work and social activities. Although we are looked down upon by t'he other classes we can take a joke and pass on. Especially in putting on talented plays such as Gathering Nuts. And we know Pleasant would be lonesome without us, especially during the long study periods. If it were not for the Sophomore girls, what would Pleasant do for their din- ners? We are especially good in baking pies and sliding them over the counters for five whole cents a cut. The classes of '23 also gave an interesting program.. We all co-operated and worked hard under the careful supervision of Miss Wyttenbach and Miss McCormick and so proved a success. The audience was well pleased. Thus passed the year of Sophomore Life into oblivion. HV. A. K. Sophomore Class Poem We from childhood played together, The comrades of our Sophomore class. We always fight each other's battles, And never from them try to passg Where one goes the others follow, Faithful whate'er might betide Naught c.an ever part us, for we're Sophomores walking through the paths of Life. We look through the mist of gathered years, To the school which the Sophomores know, In the whir of whose ceaseless hum and roar Our youth into manhood and womanhood grows, 'Tis here we strive with honest toil Our daily lessons to prepare, While we're serving the world, who knoweth best, The comrades of our Sophomore Class. - Our Sophomore days will not last forever And our school days will swiftly pass by As a fair vision of golden years Spent by our class in Pleasant High. Sometime we'll .meet when sunset gilds the Heavens Meet as we parted, loyal, b-rave and true. Again we'1l think of our happy, old school days And glance back to the comrades of our Sophomore crew.

Our class was one of the largest classes ever to enter here. At our class meeting we elected Grace Slusser, Presidentg Bernaldo Williams, Vice President, and Rozella Lill, Secretary and Treasurer. Our class has the reputation of being .a very noisy one and this is especially no- ticeable in the assembly room, where we take great pleasure in rattling books, tear- ing paper and counting the number of steps from the assembly hall to the library. Our English Class is a model one, but a great malny amusing things happen. One day when we were discussing whether it was more beneficial to live in the country or in the city, and were talking of the advantages of the city, one of our members made the following statement, Well, I have smelled both the city and country air and I can't smell any difference. Our class is always well represented in the Literary Meetings. The Seniors call us Freshies and Greenies but these names do not affect us as we have the consolation of knowing they too have had to come through the same trials and tribulations. As was the experience of others the first day of school was the worst dafy for us all. Miss Wyttenbach has been chosen class advisor. Our colors are rose and gray. In spite of our worthy' oHicers, our path has not been strewn with Howers for we have been molested on every hand. The peace of the class has been disturbed by the dignified Seniors, and our members have been shamefully accused of things of which we never heard, But in scholarship and athletics we give great promise and it is safe to say that our greenish hue is fast fading and in the years to come, some of us will suc- ceed in placing the standard. of our High School on a higher plalne.-C. O. The Class of 724 We are the Freshmen, yes, every bit, And we do not wish to deny it. We're fre'h and green and know nothing at ail, But we're doing our bit as we walk the hallg We study h.ard and fight our battle And when we recite we sure umake it rattle, We entered High to do our best, We fought our rights from all the rest, They soon found out we were not dead, And relied upon, our noble head. We don't mean to be the whole school, But what is the use of our being a fool. We're Freshmen of Pleasant High, And we intend to shout or cryg In athletics we're doing well, But our future we cannot tell. We're proud to be Freshmen at Pleas- ant High.. We shout and we cheer For that is part of our career. There are Sophomores, Juniors and Sen- iors at Pleasant High, But they all look at the Freshmen with a wandering eye. The Seniors we admit are smart But just watch the Freshmen when they get Li start. Come let's give one big cheer, And carry off the honors of the year. So bright, so finm and so bold are we, I bet the Seniors men free. Hail! Hail!

It has a membership of about half of the High School. The officers this year are: Virgil Anderson, President, Robert Straw, Vice Presidentg Titus Boxwell, Secretary and Treasurer. The Society has never failed to please. It has always kept in mind the high ideal of providing amusing ann also uplifting entertainment to the audience, and of interesting and instructing those participating in the programs. All who have tried to work up a good program will agree that it is not always an. easy thing to do. There is so much one can find that cannot be used but not so much can be found that can be used. The programs have consisted of short plays, dialogues., panto- mines, instrumental and vocal selections, orations, etc. Another phase of the work is in determining the abilities of each person and helping that person to develop his talents along the right lines. Those in charge of the programs secure a liberal education in selecting the right thing at the right time. Literary Societies deserve much credit.. Many a person late in life will be thankful that he can overcome that terribfle sensation, often almost a disease, called stage fright. Who has not felt it? He may start out well and then feel his knees begin to shake and his throat parch. Or, he may not even get started. He feels, to put it mildly, foolish. But how glad that person will be when his knees remain quite stiff and the words come naturally from his throat. Even though this hyp- othetical person of whom I am speaking Cperhaps it is you or IJ may never become truly great, he will at least have become a better talker and more, a better master of himself. The Castalian Literary Society has for the faculty adviser Miss McCormick, and is also grateful to her for suggestions that she has given us. A program committee is appointed to help in making out the programs and a decorating committee has charge of suitable decorating for each program.'efM. L. B..

Last fall the following officers were elected: Ferne Price, Presidentg Fannie Freeman, Vice Presidentg David Mautz, Secretary and Treasurer. Half of the members of the High School belong to this organization. The pur- pose of this Society has been to give its members a chance to develop their literary talents, to .arouse enthusiasm among the students for all worth-while enterprises, and to interest the community in our School. The success of the programs rendered prove that the purpose of the Society has been attained to a remarkable degree. The first program of this year was given in November. It proved to be highly successful. Among the numbers which were especially worthy of notice was .a Thanksgiving Pageant in which the qualities which make up the true Thanksgiving were portrayed.. Another item was t'Aunt Samantha's Albumf' the play That Rascal Pat, given on the slarne evening was greatly enjoyed by all. The cast of characters was as follows: Pat ,................. Ridgal Albert Nancy .... , ........... Fannie Freeman Mr. Fitznoodle ....... Leroy Behner Chas. Livingstone .... Ralph Weiss Laura ............,.. Matilda Mollenauer It is almost needless to state that the two ideals last stated have been realized in .a gratifying manner. Our High School is certainly more wide awake than ever before. The large crowds which have greeted every program, aptly express the fact that the interest of the people is centered in this school. Thus it behooves us to exert ourselves, in order that our future record may be, not only as satisfying as the past, but if possible even rival it. Then in the times to come we may. think with true pleasure of the time spent as members of the Athenian Literary Society.-M. M. The Negative Debating Team Z?

Debating Debating has been accorded recognition in this yea.r's work.. A few debates were given in connection with the Community meetings and in the class room in the English and Commercial Law Department. Those in Law Department took form in maintaining the Plaintiff or Defendant of the various cases that came up in con- nection with the class work. Some very desirable results were secured from this form of English. Pleasant High participated in the County debates, maintaining the Aftirmative and Negative of the question, Resolved, That the United States should prohibit all immigration into the United States proper for a period of two years. The affirmative was supported by Virgil Anderson, Matilda Mollenauer, Ruth Waddell and Frank Dalton. The negative was maintained by Titus Boxwell, Ferne Price, Fannie Freeman and Ridgal Albert. .Pleasant lost both debates, but found Congress agreeing with them in many points. ' Our literary programs should be better balanced by including ,attention sufii- cient to give every student of at least Sophomore rank some training in this de- partment of English. Like the ability to persuade, developed in Oratory, we must aim to develop thinkers and reasoners by the debate plan.

God has put an great value upoii the shining' stars which is the same to all men :ind ages. He knows no discount. . J.. .Nia ORATION---Continued He holds no bargain sales. Each star has paid in full for its orogress. Great principles do not mould the world's thought and character while they lie in God's storehouse. They must become living fire in the hearts of their advocates. Every Spartan died willingly rather than meet defeat at the hands of the enemy. He passed through the night of war and became a star in military glory. Christianity, the greatest star of all, vonniuered the Roman-Military world because it was not afraid of the night. Switzeiiland is free. From the mythical days of XVllliam Tell until the immortal victory at Sempach, the Swiss laid themselves on the altar of their country's liberty. XVhen all other means had failed to break the dense line of Austrian spears, Alinold von Xvinkelreid, a star of the night, gathered as many as his long arms could reach, cried out to his comrades: l give myself to make a way for you. Science and literature have given birth to many stars to bring l'orth the light of the present day. Socrates taught lessons in prison, then drank the fatal cup. Locke wrote his many essays as an exile in a Dutch garret. Roger Bacon was too great a star for his day and spent fourteen years in prison. Galileo, old, blind, and forsaken, how Weary must have been his life. Thomas More died for 0pinion's sake that the generation of today might live where thoughts are free. Yes the prison and the stocks of the past have purchased the freedom of today. At the cost of a life, new truths are taughtg Hate kills the thinker, but it cannot kill the thought. While the student of affairs watches freedom of conscience three centuries old in America, now winning its last foothold from the enemy, let him not forget that the present broad daylight of free conscience was preceded by a long darkness lighted Only by stars. VVithout pay or penalty, we follow the lead of our conscience today the same as the stars of other nights followed theirs at the price of their life. Because Wyckliffe was out of the darkness, his ashes were scattered on the Severn. The lesson ever set before us by the night's stars is this: There is no worth without work, there is no success without preparation, no victory unless some willing star pays the price. The fight against the liquor traffic has been won. Now the government has ceased its attempts to legalize, civilize and tame this thing and no longer permits it to look into our faces Without shame. President Xllilson has by one stroke of the pen freed more than one hundred Five millions of people by signing the death warrant of the liquor traffic. The darkness of the traffic has brought forth bright stars in lives and characters of the advocates of the opposition. Again the Great XVar brought forth many stars we did not know we had. Our soldier boys did not sit idly by and wonder. When war was declared, they came from every village, hamlet, illld town. They were on the firing line.i They said in their hearts, As for commercial expansion and government ownership, I do not know but this l do know, German autocracy must die. They were volunteers. They counted the cost and enlisted if it meant their lives. They pierced this long darkness of night. They came face to face with the foe, never did they ask for a furlough, a truce. or rest or peace till the victory was won. And through the smoke of battle. they saw the enemy retreating. Once he held the front line trench. Today he does not. He has no line of defense and he is conquered and the night of war has brought forth her silver stars. God sent his singers upon earth, With songs of sadness and of mirth, That they might touch the hearts of men, And bring them back to heaven again. At present there hangs over us the darkness of the night ol' Christianity. Some say public sentiment is not ready for a clear, clean, religion. If this be true. then there can be no reasonable objection to making' sentiment ready. Do we fear that we must contend for every foot of ground? VVe must make our country ready. Day by day the steady realization of the truth swings the country farther and farther toward Christian- ity. From the night comes the never ceasing call for men. From the front comes the call for more stars. The 'Old Guard are falling one by one. They need more light and they wait for younger hands. The sword of the Lord is for the human hand. Take it up and go forward. its very steel will give strength' to the arm. The days of faith and courage and the times that try men's souls are not all past. God is not idle. Put your ear to the ground and you will hear the tramp, tramp, tramp of thousands of feet as the stars of the generation march to their places in the ranks. Sometimes the night is black. XVe see no friendly face. lVe seem to be alone in the conflicts but our com- rades are there in the smoke and heat and dust. Sometimes we cannot see our Great Commander's face. The darkness of the night hides him, but hc is near. He stands within the shadow, keeping watch above his own and the victory is sures It is for us to pay the price, the full complete price of victory and thus it is that the Night brings forth her stars.-T. B. Whispers 'in the Night When in the fall of 1918 Princeton University reopened her doors, hundreds of young men entered. The campus which had been deserted all summer, was again thronged with students. The shyness and reserve of the Freshmen as they regarded each other, contrasted oddly with the hilarity of the upper classmen, especially the Seniors, as they greeted old acquaintances. Among the latter was Ned Wakefield, one of the leading students in the class of 'l9. He had many friends, not because his father was known to be one of the wealthy mine and land owners! in Wyoming, but also because Ned had a winning personality. In short, he was classed among his fellows students as a. good sport. Although still young, he had made the name of Theodore Wakefield familiar as a rising young author, while in his wide circle of close friends he was well known as a skillful violinist. He had come to Princeton with the wish to broaden his visions, so that he might the better be able to express his ideas in writing. The second semester was Well under way-, when Ned and Nancy Lee met at a Fraternity dance.. Tom Jackson, Ned's best chum and roommate, began to worry when he noticed that Ned called more and more frequently on Miss Lee, and that his work was declining both as a student and as an author. Each week the friend- ship seemed to grow more and more intimate, until Ned found it impossible to devote any time to his work. He invariably came in later than the rules allowed and was obliged to do a great deal of scheming in order to evade the authorities. One evening he carne home especialy late. Tom, who had anxiously awaited his return, was shocked when he noticed that he was partly intoxicated. The next morning Tom talked earnestly with his roommate, pleading with him to stop his evil course, but Ned only replied that it was his business. He loved Nancy and was determined to marry her. . Two weeks before graduation, when Ned was returning from a ball, given by Miss Lee, he was intoxicated. He was singing loudly as he went through the Dormi- tory hall to his room. Tom sadly assisted him to bed. It was late the next morning when he awoke. Tom was studying quietly and said nothing while Ned, yawning a great deal, leisurely allured himself. The mail- man thrust two letters under the door, both for Ned. He hastily scanned both, turning pale as he did so, for the one was the formal announcement of the engage- ment of Miss Lee, the other a notice of his expulsion from Princeton, for his dis- orderly conduct. He was silent a few minutes, then began hurrying about the room gathering a few clothes, muttering as he did sol, Curse the woman, she has brought all this on me. Why was I such a fool? I can never face dad and mother. Picking up his suitcase and violin, he rushed toward the door. Tom placed himself before it, but Ned pushed him aside, ran out of the Dormitory and boarded a passing street car, which took him to the railroad station. He got a train there, not caring where it took him. He rode for hours, moody and silent. He was still dazed and couldn't think but it seemed to hiirn that the wheels were grinding out the word Failure, He knew now that he had not loved Miss Lee any more than she had loved him. He realized that he was a coward to run away from his parents, who he knew would grieve for him, but could not bring himself to return to them. For several days his supply of money lasted, but one day he realized that he was almost penniless. He was in Pennsylvania. He began to walk about and begged for something to eat from house to house. At night he slept out in the c-pen. He sold his suitcase but he would not part with his violin. Had his friends seen him now, they would have failed to recognize him for his clothes had grown shabby, his hair long and his face much thinner. So he slowly tramped from place to place. In the evening as he slept outside, the katy-dids seemed to have changed their usual i Whispers in the Night ---Continued song to He failed, he failed, while the crickets chirped assent. Then he would strive to drown out the night whispers by playing his violin and in it found his only solace. The weeks lengthened into months, until at last the leaves of the trees began to grow brilliant and the nights cold. Ned caught a severe cold, which steadily grew worse. In a few days a fever developed and he could scarcely walk until evening. One evening he came to a large cornfield and it occurred to him that he might sleep there for the night. A large farmhouse was up the road a little farther, but he was too we.ak to walk so far for something to eat, Though weak and feverish, he succeeded in building a fire, which cast a cheerful glow. He was too weak to play that night and just at dusk he heard a girl's voice, the sound of which came from the farmhouse, singing clearly: 'tWe'll build a sweet little nest, Somewhere in the west, And let the rest of the world go by. The winds stayed in his memory and he began to think of his mother and father there in the west, but again the night voices began to moan the strains over and over. The blood Howed faster and wilder in his veins, his fever grew high, and he grew very delirious. Then he fought little imps who mocked him with the words Failure, failure, and none save the full moon watched over him as he fought and struggled all that night. Early the next 'morning Mr. Keeler, the farmer who lived in the house which Ned had noticed the night before, came to the corniield and there found Ned. He took him home, put him to bed and called a doctor, who looked grave, saying that pneumonia had set in. Betty Keeler installed herself as Ned's nurse and for several weeks while his life hung on a fine thread and he battled over and over with the imps who proclaimed him a failure, ,she hardly left his bedside. At last he awoke one morning in his right mind. When Betty assured him that he was with friends, he guietly fell asleep. In sever.al weeks, though still weak, Ned was able to sit up and walk about a little. He became very well acquainted with the Keeler family, which consisted of but Mr. and Mrs. Keeler and Betty. He found that Betty had graduated from college that year, and possessed a keen appreciation for music and literature. He also discovered that he spent a little more time each day in thinking of his black-haired, blue-eyed nurse. Ned wrote to his parents, who were much relieved to hear from him. They urged him to return home at once. He gladly did so, taking with him Betty's promise to return to her. On the evening of their arrival as they stood hand in hand on the wide veranda of their hcqrne, the moon rose and smiled on them.. Nature's voice began to whisper. It grew louder and louder as the moon rose higher in the sky. The katydids again changed the refrain for they said, He did it, he did it. Then a wise old owl who was just waking up said 'tWho? and the crickets chirped f'NED! Elementary Economics I The United States recently has made a survey of the unemployment condition as it now exists and finds that approximately three and one half millions of people are unemployed. In the state of Michigan eighty- two per cent of the wvorking forces in its industrial plants are out of a job.. Ohio ranks second with slightly over fifty percent unemployed. All the Northern and New England States have twenty per cent or more of their laborers unemployed. This section of the U. S. is where the greater part of the immigrants settle when they come over here. This shows that if nothing bars the way of the vast hordes of foreigners that are coming to the U. S., American labor in this section will be greatly cheapened. Many em- ployers are already taking advantage of this situation to lower the working-man'S wages. This with American labor already cheapened, the American workman, because of his higher standard of living, will not be able to compete with the workers of foreign nationalities. These immigrants will greatly lessen the cost of production because they will work cheaper. This will enable the American exporters to sell cheaper and in this way raise the foreign money value which at present is very low. II The Tariff policy of the U. S. should be controlled by a non-partisan committee appointed by the President. These men should be chosen for their knowledge of the subject. This committee should so adjust the rates that the American worker would not need to compete with the foreigner and also excessive tariffs which raise the cost of living and give American manufacturers unreasonable profits. Agricultural products and American industries should be protected. All in- fant industries which in time will be an asset to our country should be protected from foreign competition. This might tend to raise the initial cost price of the article but in later years its cost might be greatly lessened. An example of this at present is the American Dye industry. Agricultural interests should also be protected as they govern the prosperity of a nation.. Food supplies which cannot be readily produced in this country should have no tariff placed on them as it raises the cost price of that article. The sugar which we import from Cuba is a good example of this. Luxuries should have a high tariff because they are consumed by the wealthy and will be obtained at any price. These people can more readily bear the burden of taxation. This would create a better market for our surplus products and might tend to improve our industrial situation. Such a state of affairs would be gladly welcomed by Eumpe who, relieved of some of her surplus population, could again attain a sound industrial footing. If the Government would pass an immigration law which would only permit Europeans from a few countries to enter our country it naturally would lead those people to hate us and they would await their first chance to take revenge. These countries would not league against us commercially at present because it would be disadvantageous to their interests as they look to our country for financial backing. Many immigrants could be put to work in the agricultural sections of our country. There is still a large amount of land to be improved which would pro- duce great quantities of food. The state of Iowa has only 825 of her farm land improved. This state ranks first in this respect. Arizona has only 1151! of her land improved. 'This shows that immigrants following agricultural pursuits in this country would be welcomed. This would produce more food products, but due to better foreign credit and an increase in consumers the value would remain the same. The chief difficulty lies ill the fact that the immigrants insist on crowd- ing into the city. It is cheaper for the American people to use the imported pro- Elementary Economics---Continued ducts Cfree from dutyj because the perso.n who manuf.actures the same product in this country is making too large a profit. By protecting certain products they would be raising the price. III The chief reason why the U. S. should extend financial aid to the European countries is that it would place them on .a better industrail foundation and also increase the value of their own money. This would produce a market for our surplus products and tend to stabilize conditions in our own country. On the other hand it seems as if some of the European countries cannot pay interest that is due on the money they have already borrowed. Some of the European countries want the U. S. to cancel their war debt. I think this would prove to be very unsatis- factory as the people of the U. S. would then have to pay it in the form of taxes. IV The unemployment in the U. S. is due chiefly to the fall in prices, the effects of malproduction, and the unstable and chaotic conditions of Europe which formerly formed an outlet for our surplus of products. American manufacturers are unwil- ling to take the risk of controlling their plants and placing their products on a falling market. In certain cases malproduction is the cause of unemployment. An example of this will be noted in the rubber industry. Rubber factories worked day and night full force to turn out rubber tires .and accessories. The result is that there is a large surplus of automobile accessories. This makes it necessary for the plants to cease operation. The American public is not buying to any great extent. People are making articles which they possess, last as long as they positively can. The day of reckless buying has passed. Everybody is waiting for prices to go still lower. Merchants in their haste to dispose of their articles are quickly cutting the prices. All this serves to discourage the manufacturer and forms one of his chief reasons for not resuming operations and furnishing the laborers work. V It would pay Pleasant Township well to build a. combination gymnasium and auditorium.. The physical and mental conditions of the school children would he greatly improved. By the aid of a physical instructor physical exercise could be adopted. This would give the children a stronger physical body and make their minds keener. It would create a better community spirit. Athletic games and home talent plays could be given which would keep the young people in their own com- munity. This would greatly prevent them going to the city to seek amusement with immoral conditions. This would tend to keep more of the young people on the farm, The cost of such a project should not be considered by the community as too great a burden because a large part of the building expense would be defrayed by charging a small sum for home talent plays and games. A gymnasium where physical training can be held will soon be a necessity as the public knows the benefits re- ceived from it and the Ohio legislature is considering passing a bill which would make physical training compulsory in every school at a period not less than two years in the future. This means that every school will need to have a gymnasium. Elementary Economics---Continued VI The United States has a cheap dollar. This is a. dollar which has not the pur- chasing power it formerly had because of the rise of prices caused by the war. The American dollar will hardly purchase one half the amount it formerly did. Laborers find it a necessity to strike for higher wages. The American dollar however still has more value than foreign coins of like denominations. This creates an unfavor- able balance of trade for the European countries. The dollar is now gaining in value. Manufacturers and employers find it necessary to cut the wages of the laborer. When the industrial situation returns to normal the purchasing power of the American dollar will undoubtedly be close to what it formerly was. VII I thing that the United States should enter a modified league of nations if arti- cle X is changed and the integrity and independence of the United States is secured. All of the world is at present looking to the United States for they recognize that she is leading the world in political, financial, economical, and religions affairs. The United States could attain much prestige and economic privileges by joining the league. The burden of the taxpayers in this country would be lessened approximate- ly seventy-five per cent because if the United States belonged to the league a. plan of general disarmment could be satisfactorily worked out. Statistics show that ninety percent of all taxes paid in is spent for present, past, or future Wars. If the United States does not join the league those countries which belong might league against us commercially and ruin our country by ruining our foreign trade. As I believe the United States has much to gain and nothing to lose, it would be a very wise undertaking for her to join the league and become a world power. 1 J 1 il v J' , 'L w 1 ASKET BALL I 11,1 . -. 4 L YG If ' ls n Q-Ci?-1111: Q - I 1 an QQ-1 113:15 l an 3 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 :t-1111111 t I, 4 H A ' .

Top Row-Virgil Anderson, David Mautz, Frank Dalton The Pleasant High Basket Ball Team amade a good showing this year. It attained second place in the County Schedule. The only vacancy on the team, due to the graduation of Lamoyne Green, a guard, was filled by Frank Dalton. Mr. Schisler oc- cupied the position of Coach. As all the other players were veterans of the Team, a good team was soon whipped into shape.. 'tRed Boxwell and Tubby Straw held down their former forward positions. They developed into a fast pair of Forwards, and their rushes for the basket were hard to break up so that the opposing team had no chance to recapture the ball. Mautz held his regular position as Center. An- derson and Dalton were able Guards and in all the games held their opponents to few baskets. Thus the five players were soon worked into a formidable quintet, whose chief idea was to win each game if possible and play .a clean one to uphold the honor of the school. The Team was handicapped by having no indoor court. Playing under these conditions they did not make an enviable record. Much credit also goes to the Second Team and the Rooters who supported us in every game and showed the real school spirit. Our first game in the County Schedule was with Waldo. This was the first game of the season. We won an easy victory over them, the score stood 40 to 18.. Our next game was with Martel. This was a hard fought game from start to finish. At the end of the first half Pleasant was in the lead by one point. The score was 10 to 9. Both teams came back strong in the second half and neither side was Basket Ball---Continued able to obtain a lead over the other. Finally toward the end of the game Martel made a few lucky shots and when the whistle blew the score stood 17 to 15 in Mar- tel's favor. Field Goals- -Straw 3, Boxwell 2, Kennedy 3, Pace 2, Quaintance 2, Mautz, Christman, Anderson. Foul 'Goals'-Pace, Boxwell. Substitutions -A'- Clark for Heinla. The next game was played with Caledonia, at Caledonia. We went there with a detenmination to uphold our record and wipe out our preceeding defeat. The game was a fast one avnd at the end of the first half the score was 12 to 11 in favor of Pleasant. In the second half Caledonia fought hard and obtained the lead of six points. Pleasant then began playing on the offensive and the game ended 28 to 19 in Pleasant's favor. Field Goals-Straw 8, Underwood 4, Hurr 3, Boxwell 2, Mautz 2. Foul GoalsfBoxwell 4, Miller. The scheduled game with Morral was forfeited to Pleasant. Larue was our next victim. We met them on the Y. M. C. A. floor November 12., Both teams had suffered defeat but once previous to this time. The game ended 17 to 30 in our favor. Field Goals-Boxwell 7, Rizor 6, Straw 4, Mautz, Ruckman, Dickason. Foul Goals-Boxwell 5, Dickason. Pleasant and Martel were tied for first place, each having lost one game. The tie was played off at the Armory, January 21, and resulted in a victory for Martel of 32 to 17. Our team was at a disadvantage because of no indoor court. Field GoalsfBoxwell 3, Pace 5, Christman 5, Straw 4, Heinla 2, Kennedy 3, Mautz. Foul Goals-Boxwell, Pace 2. Substitutions--Iler for Quaintance. On November 3, we met the Business College team at the Y. M. C. A. We an- nexed another game to our long list of victories, the score being 49 to 18. The game was featured by good team-work. Boxwell of Pleasant rolled in 21 points. We met the Green Camp team at the Armory on December 23. Pleasant was again victorious. The game was fast and undecided until the last few minutes, the final score being 20 to 13.. December 28th we played the Pleasant Alumni. The High School team easily won by the score of 19 to 11. The game- was not as close as the score would in- dicate as the second team was given a chance to show its ability. We gained another victory with a 32 to 19 score when we played the Steam Shovel team on December 30. On January! 7, St. Marys High came to the Armory with the expectation of winning as they -had previously defeated very strong teams. Our superior teamwork aided by a small weight advantage won the game. The score was 28 to 20. The Boys' team were competitors in the State Tournament held under the auspices of Ohio Wesleyan University. Our first game was with Chagrin Falls. They were much larger than we but our superior basket shooting returned the reward of victory to us with the score of 14 to 13. That evening we played Nowalk, one of the stronger teams and were defeated 33 to 5. Some of the teams from larger schools of Marion County were defeated the first game so Pleasant deserves a large amount of credit. Games Won 10 Games Lost 3 The Pleasant team, however, has had a very successful season, and are looking forward to the time when they shall have a gymnasium in our school which will enable our teams to obtain a still l.arger degree of efficiency. Girls' Basket Ball Team Front Row from left to right---Lucille Barnhart, Feine Price, Dorothy Myers. Top Row---Matilda Mollenauer, Geraldine Roszman, Martha Behner, Carrol Green. The Pleasant Girls' team again took second place in the County Schedule. They had the misfortune of losing their game to Waldo. The completion of the schedule .. games resulted in a triple tie for first place, the schools being Pleasant, Martel and li Waldo. Martel obtained a forfeited game from Waldo. Pleasant lost to Martel by the score of 17 to 3. The Pleasant team made .a wonderful showing as they were handicapped by not having any indoor floor' to practice on. 11: The first game was played with Waldo. Pleasant girls showed superior teamwork but were unable to shoot baskets, the final score being 5 to 4. The next week they met lV.artel. Pleasant was determined to avenge Wald0's victory. It was a hard fought game but Pleasant emerged victorious with .a 10 to 8 score. Price was the main factor in our victory. 'Caledonia proved an easy victim. The girls won by the score of 26 to 6. The following game was played with Larue.. They were defeated 21 to 2, due to 1 the wonderful playing of Roszmann. .33 On January 21, the Pleasant girls again met Martel for the purpose of deciding ily i the County championship. Owing to the disadvantages which they encountered, lj they lost this game. Another penalty for no place to practice locally. ii M 1 1 W ,H f l as w 1 U usiqp , 1 ., :Y J?

Some of the members possess real ability and mixed chorus work is giving all parts a chance to improve. At Christmas a cantata was rendered by the High School and Seventh and Eighth Grades which was well received, Later, at the Farmers' Institute the High School gave a selection which was enjoyed by all present.. Mr. Brouwer, the musical director, is making the work a success in every way. The Girls' Glee Club which is also directed by Brouwer, has commenced three and four part work, which is proving' very interesting. Scene of the work is to be presented at graduation this year. The Glee Club is one of the older or- ganizations of the school, having' been organized soon after the school was built. The officers this year are Matilda Mollenauer, Presidentg Fannie Freeman, Vice Presidentg Dorothy Myers, Secretary and Treasurer. ici- 7 1-.Lg I 2 leaf. -ii H '--' - 'Y fi Y 'ff' 711- 'flrh , L-25+ 57511 Boys' Glee Club Front Row left to right-Leroy Behner, Russel Klinefelter, Kenneth Johnston, Jaames Kenyon.

One might is said to have fiddled away while Rome was burning but to believe also believe that Nero was certainly not a very good musician. What person does not enjoy nnusic in some form? And since music does have a great in- fluence upon us we should learn to really appreciate itg and to appreciate it we must know something about it. Therefore the High School without laying claim to great honors, feels happy that they are beginning to love and respect good music. The Orchestra Front Row left to right-Frederick Biggerstaif, Mildred Lefller, Esther Yenny, Loren Cope. Top Rowe-Leroy Seiter, Leroy Behner, Frederick Mautz. A good school orchestra is of value not on-ly to the school but to the community, not to mention the practical experience afforded those who are interested in it. The pupil is able to find in what direction his talents are and then an opportunity of developing that talent. He also learns a lesson in co-operation, for he soon finds out that he is not the whole orchestra, and that a mistake on his part causes a discord for all He learns to Work with others. All of which will help him later in life though he does not follow a musical career. The orchestra has always been hampered by lack ol' the necessary instruments and until this difficulty is removed it will be impossible for Pleasant to perform the Work that it should be able to ido. Another difficulty lies in the fact that the majority of the pupils Want to play on the violin but seem to have little de- sire to learn on any other instruments. The best that can be said for the orchestra at this time is that it is begun and we hope that it will soon receive the encouragement that is now so badly needed. The orchestra is under the direction of Mr, Brouwerfa M. L. B.

The Domestic Science classes have studied the .art and the science of cooking with much interest. The science class consists of the Sophomore girls, who are held responsible for the preparation of meals and menu :making of the lunch. The lunch becomes the practical application of the principles learned in the Domestic Science class work. Eight to nine hundred meals have been served a month, at a cost of twenty to twenty-five cents a meal. The department served about five hundred people during the Township Farmers' Institute, clearing eighty dollars.. The department made a good showing in baked and canned goods for the ex- hibit at the Farmers' Institute, which we hope will be the beginning for a larger exhibit next year, and which will tend to increase the interest of the community in school domestic science work. The Department has broadened its scope this year and is very hopeful for the future. It hopes to give its pupils and the community higher ideals in living.-H. S. Domestic Art The Domestic Art Department consists of two classes, one of which is the Seventh and Eighth grades and the High School girls. The grade girls have done some splendid handwork and machine stitching on handbags, pin cushions, aprons. This class will have a short course in millinery too. As seventh and eighth grade class meets only thirty minutes daily we feel that the girls are learning amany val- uable lessons for the future as well as present use. The High School class is composed of Freshmen, Sophomores, and a Junior. Since this is the case each, girl has her own problem with which to dealg thus giving her a chance to develop her individuality in drafting patterns and the making of garments needed in her own wardrobe. The girls have made underwear, dresses and waists of many different styles. Two of the girls have worked on wool and silk while all have worked upon cotton materials. Much reference reading has been given from current magazines and clothing books in the study of textiles, so that the girls can tell good qualities of materials. Lectures on Textile Studies are given by Miss McCormick once a week with the help of a microscope and lantern slides, the latter being a very great assistance in the visualizing of textile manufactures. This department had a very splendid exhibit at the Farmers' Institute.. An effort to interest all the girls in. the grades and High School not taking Domestic Science through the exhibit was undertaken. A few responded this year. We know that small beginnings lead to higher and better things for the future, so we are sure that a finer and better exhibit will be shown by the girls of Pleasant school in the future.+H. S. 73-1- 69 ..,, i Agriculture The agriculture work in P. H. S. has from the beginning of the school's career been a firmly established unit. The agriculture course that is offered is quite com- plete and during the past. four years has been very popular with the students. The home project supplementary work has proven very profitable amd beneficial, as well The first agriculture class was held under the supervision of' E. B. Hawes, and as the class was very enthusiastic over the course, and many other students had announced their intention of entering the class an especially trained agriculture teacher, Mr. Foster Campbell was employed as instructor. Under his able super- vision the agriculture department was made even more interesting and instructive. The agriculture work at the present time under the supervision of Mr. Durbin, has attracted much attention because of its community activity as well as school The Farmers' Institute this year, which is directly connected with the school agriculture work, was a decided success and was made more interesting by the crop exhibit that was staged in connection. Fine specimens of farm produce were on exhibition in the agriculture room, many of them being grown by the agriculture students in their project work. In conclusion we can but review our work and believe the agriculture course has really accomplished much for individual benefit, and renown for Pleasant High, and we believe that the course on its merits alone shall continue to be very popular in the school. It includes in its cirriculum a study of Farm Crops, Farm Engineering, Animal Husbandry and other phases of farm life, thus our understanding of farm life is broadened and we well believe that the farm Farm Shop Department At the beginning of the year the name of this department was changed from that ol' Manual ol' Arts to that of Farm Shop. This was done so that it might come under the supervision ol' the Smith-Hughes Department in agriculture. ln the course things are offered in such a way that they will be instructing' and at the same time useful to Its aim is to give the boy knowledge of how to make practical and useful tliings for the farm and farm homey how to care for these buildings by painting' and to beautify ,ln this department we have as our' instructor Bernard M. Durbin, a ,frraduate of Ohio State Vniversity, under whose instructions the boys are showing' skill in the tool opera- tions: the boys have been shown how to perform these preparations, which they are handling' with some degree ot' accuracy, ol' course we must remember the old proverb, that practice makes perfect, still holds good, so some day we hope to see our boys among some of the best carpenters, and doing' their work with a great degree ot' accuracy. After' knowing' each tool by name, the 1-arc, that should be taken ol' it and manner of adjustment and manipulation, the hoy is 1'eady for workg but before lie makes any piece oi' work, he is required to make a rousrli sketch oi' the thing' to be madeg this gives him a clearer and more vivid mental. picture ol' the object and by means of this he is able Last but not least, before making: the article the boys figure out the amount oi lumber and its cost, that is to be used in the article to be made. This is one of the most practical as well as most valuable points, because most every farmer wants to know how much a thing' is iroinzq to cost before he starts out to make it. So we aim to start the boy ri.e.'ht by having him Iigure the board feet of lumber to be used and its cost. 'Phe first project. taken up was that of wood working' alone' which line the boys Next possibly is the seed corn drying' rack, the value ot' which every farmer knows after his experience ol' trying' to get good seed corn some few years a.,2'o. Other .features oi' the course are the study ol' paints, different kinds and their dur- ability and cost. 'ln cement work in which all l'arme1's are more or less interested, they have considered the selection of material, preparatory measuring and mixing, building' of forms and many other things fundamentally connected with cement work.

The people of the Township have good reasons for coming out tO these meetings because excellent programs have been given this year. The first program of the year was rendered. by the teachers. At this time a teacher's trio ccmposed of Ellen Ruth Wyttenbach, Annabell Stevens and Mabel Mann- hardt, accompanied by Irene Epler, sang an excellent selection t'Little Orphan Annie. They were heartily encored. Other features of the evening were two readings by Mrs. Crites, Stars and Stripes in Flanders' Field and Sister Emily's Beau. Also two readings by Ruth Rorick, Who's Afraid? and The Young American, After this short talks were given by Messrs. Crites, Durbin and Schisler. Since Miss Mary Lower and Miss Annabell McCormick had not taken part in the evening's program they were called upon for short talks.. The program being completed the time was spent in get- ting acquainted with the new corps of teachers. The next program was rendered in October, by the Castalian Literary' Society. Two weeks later a masquerade party was enjoyed by young and old. An award offered to the best masked person was won by Fannie Freeman, she being dressed as an old witch. A box social was held in connection with the masquerade which was enjoyed by all. The sum of eighty dollars was cleared for the school. At Thanksgiving there was an excellent program given by the Athenian Literary Society with a good attendance. At Christmas time people began to think we needed a large auditorium because the seats were all occupied and standing room was at a premium long before the pro- gram began. News had been spread throughout the Township that Santa Claus was going to visit Pleasant Township on Wednesday evening, December twenty-second. At this time a splendid cantata, The Star of Bethlehem given by the seventh and eighth grades and the High School was rendered, the solo parts being carried by Lucille Barnhardt, sopranog Garland Mathews and Vivian Long, alto, Robert Straw, tenor. Santa Claus, with his wife and little St.. Nicholas, distributed many gifts among the children and teachers which were highly appreciated. One of the best features of our Pleasant Township' Community Club was the In- stitute held January 12 and 13, 1921. This year we had state aid.

Rural Community Needs Play- The Arrival of Kitty G. C. Housekeeper Faculty and High School Community Life---Continued The lunches were served by the High School girls. At this Institute there was a very good exhibit. The Agricultural exhibit was better than any previous exhibit. First and second prizes were given on all articles here entered. The credit for the Wonderful success of the exhibit as well as for the entire Institute was due to the untiring effort of our loyal superintendent, Mr. Crites. Mr. Durbin, our agricultural teacher, also deserves much credit for the success of the agricultural exhibits. This Institute was enjoyed by all who were present and the speakers assured us that they would send a pleasing report back to the state. On Thursday, the last night of the Institute, a Wonderful home talent play was given. At this time tickets were sold at fifteen and thirty cents apiece. The cast of characters was: William Winkler ....... ..... R obert Straw Aunt Jane fHis sisterl .... Miss Stevens Jane fHis niecel ........ ,..... M rs. Crites Bobbie Baxter .... .....

Mrs. Crites, as Jane, and Ridgal Albert as Bobbie Baxter, Were very much in love and had a terrible time getting their love affairs straigh- ened out. We hope that Mr. Durbin doesn't have as much trouble in his courtship in life as he had as playing the part of Mr. More. Mr. Crites surely knows how to play football from the way he tackled Sam, or Mr. Schisler. Mr. Schiisler, as a negro was certainly funny. Miss Wyttenbach was so used to pulling hair in school that when it came to the play she forgot to have mercy on poor Bob. The Sopho- mores were proudxto have one of their class in the play, Dorothy Lester as Aunt Jane's maid. At the January Community .meeting a debate was given by the Sophomore Eng- lish class, Resolved, that the one room school is an advantage over the Centralized school. The speakers on the Affirmative side were Frank Dalton and Ruth Waddell. Those on the Negative side were Ridgal Albert and Carrol Green. The Affirmative side won. The Community meetings are held once each month. The people have the op- portunity of making new .acquaintances at each gathering. Mr, Stowe, the County Farm Agent, has attended many of our meetings and has given the farmers inter- esting as Well as valuable advice.. The splendid spirit of our teachers combined with the enthusiasm of the pupils and the people of Pleasant Township, has made our Community Club' one of the most wide awake and best in the state. The State Department feels kindly toward Pleasant Township and is usually very liberal with their financial assistance. This is doubtless due to our wonderful Community Spirit. Our Community Meetings are real meetings -and anyone who does not attend is missing a real treat the first Friday of each month.AR. W. N N i ! ' 1 we 4, 'V Q, W Glue. m ' Eaiigigiue.

The years before when the classes were passing out from the rural school seems to the student today a great departure from our present modern system. True enough every son and daughter of this township remembers the old school byr the wayside Centralization has brought eight schools into one. Who does not remember the old High School over on the Mautz Road? That reminds us of Still sets the school house by the road, A ragged beggar sunning, Around it still the summacs grow And blackberry vines are running. Our High School had slight affiliation with the other schools in the Township, no interscholastic debates or athletic contests were then corrmon.. Speaking com- monly our High School life had not much association with others. The habit routine, yea the very thought itself of today makes us feel out of date. Then came the building of today from which three classes have stepped forward from their school life into life's school. Here we have assembled and had our Community Meetings. Once a month if I am not mistaken, we assembled on Friday evening to that much dreaded but most beneficial ordeal of Public Rhetorricals when each must perform in turn before his friends and alas, his family. As we look back over the old days pleasant in retrospect, but stern in the passing always very serious and full of importance to- our youthful hearts we can but ex- press the hope that the earnest, patient endurance of your faithful corps of teachers of these present days may be rewarded with the same degree of gratefulness for kind and helpful words. Fitly spoken for careful precepts and worthy examples as we feel who sat at other feet and were convinced our lot was hard. Our teachers exacting and longed for the day when we should be done with it all, and pass out into the blithersome world so fresh and inviting and free from what seemed to us, care. Ill!!!

They relieve two hundred men and a thousand ho1ses from the drudgery of preparing the seed bed. 'They enable more than a hundred Marion County Farmers to get their crops in on time, The increased yield and the top price received for their products has more than paid these power faimers for their Huber Tractors. Marion County Farmers have learned that the HUBER is thoroughly dependable. They have learned that having the factory at honie means everything if quick re- pair or service is needed.

First there is a sunflower and if you can't guess, I'll tell you its David so you'll guess all the rest. Then there's a for-get-me-not. Guess! It's not beyond your power For it's only dear little Tillie Mollen- auer. And then there's a geranium that's all for show, If you've guessed Btb Straw I'll say you're not slow, After that there's a lilly, white and very soulful, That could only be Fanny the descrip- tion's so truthful. Over by itself you'll see a big wild rose Harry Mack you say? So you might suppose. Now that sweet anemone, little and so bashful, Is the little Freshman that's been named Marshall This is all of -my bouquet, for it's se- lect you see But I've taken one or two from each class in High School Just to present to you. 6, wnqo.-'Qs : viiqlxts. 5 If 0 WI 0 f U ' 5 Q., I .

In explana- tion of my. statement I list a few ex- amples. BIRD-Seldom used in reference to the feathered vertebrate. More often used in expressing approval of a certain per- son's beauty or good qualities. For ex- ample, Isn't Schisler a bird? BRICK-Seldom. used in reference to that article so useful in building. More often used for expressing approvation of some one who has helped you out of a difficult position. 'Example, l'Mr. Crites is surely a brick! CARP!Practic.ally never used in re- ference to fish by that name. More of- ten used as a means of ridicule.. Ex- ample, You poor carp! DATE-Only practical use in High School is in reference to the intention of a boy to take a girl to an entertain- ment. Example, Mary has a date for tonight. PEACH-Sometimes used in reference to that delightful fruit. More often used to express appreciation of feminine beauty. Example, She's a peach! PRUNEfFruit is out of date. Al- ways used to convey a feeling of dislike. Example, t'You poor prune!
