OKLA FOREWORD In this volume, the Senior’s farewell word to Alma Mater, we have endeavored to show life in S. H. S. from day to day through this eventful year. We realize as much as you, perhaps, that there are mistakes. We have done our best. Before you criticise, we request that you ask yourself this question, “Could I have done better were I the editor?” We ask that you bear with us through our blunders, and enjoy with us our triumphs, should, perchance, there be any. THE EDITOR. TO OUR BELOVED SUPERINTENDENT, MR. COHAGAN, AND OUR HONORABLE BOARD OF EDUCATION, WHOSE LOVING COMPANIONSHIP AND MATERIAL AID HAVE BEEN AN INSPIRATION TO US THROUGH FOUR HAPPY YEARS, WE, THE SENIORS OF 1916, RESPECTFULLY DEDICATE THE SAYANORA.

S., The Senior Class is surely best, Although as Freshies we were green, Intelligent Seniors are now to be seen. To teachers dear we owe a lot, But we’ve repaid them every jot, For though a mischievivous crowd we’ve been, We hope this was our most grievious sin. We’re loyal to our Dear Old High; In sports no group can pass us by. Our boys as athletes are best on earth, The girls as rooters have proven their worth. Not only in this line do we lead, But also in our classes we succeed; Our grades are good—but exams, we take When demerits are given us by mistake. (?) The Junior play was a marked success, And the play this year will not be less; Of actors and actresses we have a-plenty, Really we think there are six and twenty. Here’s wishing the Juniors luck with their play. We’re all looking forward to Banquet Day; We promise our hosts to do our part. For eating, with us, is not a lost art. We leave the school with some regret, These pleasant days we’ll never forget. But through it all we’ve kept in sight The vision of Commencement Night. What the future holds for each of us We will not try here to discuss, But rest assured, we’ll all be great, If I do not miscalculate.

Yes, indeed, for it was during this year that a mighty horde of verdant young Freshmen came prattling noisily up to the dear old school building on the hill; as enthusiastic and joyous as a troupe of pups on a chilly, wintry day. It was a jolly class of forty-four and they immediately started to do things. They elected their officers: David Hil-les, president; John Bowersock, vice-president, and Elizabeth Conley, secy.-treas.; as Freshmen they bought a pennant, and had it stolen; had a party and a hayrack ride. But best of all, they got their lessons. The somewhat experienced class returned and re-enrolled as Sophomores. The membership was slightly decreased, but with the decrease in number came a multiplied increase of enthusiasm and desire to do things. The same officers were elected in 1913, except the vice-president, which office was filled by Stanley Cohagan. They had a party that year in the Domestic Science room and I think that party is an important one in the history of S. H. S., for this was the beginning of a series of raids that have not ended to this day. “Fruit Cake” and parties are synonymous. Will that memorable Senior raid ever be forgotten ? Juniors! It sounded big to them and it seemed to have its effect for it was in 1914 that this class showed S. H. S. its real capacity for doing big things. As Juniors they took the initiative in everything owing to the smallness of the Senior class. David Hilles was elected to lead the class again with Stanley Cohagan and Beatrice Boyd as the other two officers. This year the Juniors gave some parties and best of all, they gave a dramatic production which was a howling success, both financially and artistically. “A College Town” will live in the memory of every member of the class of T6 as long as he or she has a thinker to think. As Juniors they revived the ancient custom of a Junior-Senior banquet which was given at the Harvey House and which was a brilliant success. Nineteen hundred and sixteen is a memorable date. Yes indeed, for it is this year that these twenty-seven veteran students of many a hard-fought battle, in the classrooms of History, Latin and Geometry, pass out through the portals of a mere High School into the world, broad and spacious; some to a university, some to the factory, and some to the farm, and some to their homes. In short, this is the year that the class of T6 graduates. This noble class of Seniors has been as a single unit. They act unanimously on everything and as one person. Dissatisfaction and dissent are unknown quantities and there isn’t an Algebra student in the class who wants to solve it. This year the Senior Class has given a play entitled, “A Crazy Idea,” which was indeed a grand success. The Oklahoma University Glee Club gave a concert in Sapulpa, under the auspices of the Senior Class, and from this the class filled their coffers with riches. With these riches they intend to present to the High School a useful gift, and they also are intending to give an Alumni Banquet. The starting of an Alumni Association will give for this class a name everlasting in the school’s annals. David Hilles was elected for the fourth time as class president, and Stanley Cohagan was elected as vice-president. Elizabeth Conley is the secretary-treasurer. The Class of ’16 has been a large, enthusiastic one. It has been a class of action and not of parley. They have deliberated, but then they have acted. It has acted always with the interest of the school, in mind. They have accomplished things —big things. Would that the history, of each member of this wonderful class could be as full of honor and success as is the history of this graduating class. CI,ASS of SIXTEEX—PROPH ECY HILE sitting by the Beautiful Sea, a wonderful thing did happen to me. I was not turned into a meremaid, or a paragon of loveliness. No, I was thinking of that class of big, fat, juicy Seniors, who graduated in 1916. Seventeen long years had passed since we had bedecked ourselves in snowy ruffles and the “conventional black.” How I wished I could see every member of that class. “Why don’t you use your eyes then?” piped a wee, soft voice in my ear. Startled ? Well rather. I thought I had that cozy little comer all to myself, but upon looking around I discovered that I was not by the beautiful sea at all. Wonder of wonders! I found myself in the large city of Beggs. Bewildered, and not knowing where to go, I decided to ask a policeman who was leaning against a lamp post, absent-mindedly chewing a cigar. Somehow he looked familiar, and when I spoke to him, tapped his shoulder several times to arouse him from his reverie, I discovered, what? That it was the little fat, rosy-cheeked boy we called Boosey, one who had graduated in the Class of ’16. Who would have thought one of our little bunch would have been given this exalted position. Not Boosey, I am sure. He never had such high-flown ideas. After we had expressed our surprise he conducted me to the largest hotel in Beggs. The only room I could get was near the top. I stepped into the elevator and told the boy where I wanted to go. Something about this boy made me look at him again. Stepping back, I tripped, and upon looking for the cause, discovered it to be the boy’s feet. They seemed to fill the whole space. Who in this world could have feet like that, except David Hilles? I remembered having fallen over them at school. I suppose when I start to walk into the Golden Gate, those feet will trip me and I shall fall and be lost in oblivion for- ever. After informing him who I was he told me, with tears in his eyes, how he had acquired such an elevating position. My room was a very small one and the maid was deftly arranging rugs over holes in the floor. She came up and with a simple twise of her wrist, removed my hat, coat, and rubbers, to say nothing of my breath. I recognized her at once as Maree Cobb, another of my school mates. That evening, being tired of watching the rats and mice play tag in my room, I decided to go to the opera. I heard that a famous singer was to be there. I was seated in my box, quietly munching a ham sandwich, when the curtain rolled back, and there, amid the dazzling lights, enrobed in spangles, ruffles and jewels, stood the greatest singer in the world. She sang in a wild, shrill voice, that old song of “I Didn’t Raise My Dog to Be a Sausage.” When she had finished she gazed out over the crowd. Her eyes alighted on me and appeared to be glued. Then to my great astonishment and surprise I recognized my old chum and schoolmate, Peggy Boyd. The next day I was seated in the lobby of the hotel, looking at nothing in particular, when a man appeared on the threshold. He was so different from the others at the hotel that I had to gaze at him. He was clothed in a suit of brilliant blue, a large diamond tie pin protruded from his shirt front, his dainty feet were encased in shoes that outshone the sun. One could tell at a glance that he was a great personage in that part of the country. He walked boldly over and hung his cap on the only nail in the room. As soon as that cap came off I knew that I had found another of that band of happy Seniors. Only one boy could have hair like that, such a beautiful pinkish red, and that boy was Earl Tankersley. Of course I felt greatly honored to shake hands with the rich oil “maggot”. He seemed greatly agitated about something and upon inquiring the cause he told me that someone had broken into his house and carried off his best set of nickle-plated spoons. He was on his way to see a great detective, who lived as a hermit among the hills. As I had never seen a hermit I begged him to take me along. He finally consented, and we were soon on the road. We had not gone far when we met a tramp, his clothes in tatters and his shoes run down at the heels; he wore a most dejected air, which turned to one of supreme happiness when we asked him to ride. He proved to be a great conversationalist and imagine our surprise when he began talking of a play he had been in while attending the Sapulpa High School. I asked what his name was and he informed me that he had forgotten what his real one was, but his pards all called him Foxy. Of course we knew then that he was Howard Fox, another link in the broken chain. I asked him if he knew anything of the other carefree Seniors of 1916. and he replied that Lucille Johannes was a biscuit-shooter in Beggs, Elizabeth Conley had become famous as a cabaret dancer in Ardmore, and Margaret McFann had gone to China to teach the little Chinks that bologna was better than rats or mice, and that they must learn to eat rice with a spoon instead of a stick. Thelma Carleton was a Red Cross nurse and had gone to the war to watch over her soldier lover. Those were the only ones he had heard of while off on his rambles. We were now at the great detective’s house, which was nothing but a large cave, a huge rock served for a door, which, when swung open, disclosed a subterranean passage, lighted up with ghostly candles. A sepulchral voice bade us enter and come straight ahead, which we did. We came to another door and could hear someone talking on the other side of it. The rock swung back and we perceived a dimly lighted room on the other side with one lone figure standing in the middle of it. The hermit advanced to meet us, wringing our hands as if heart-broken about something. “My friends, you cannot imagine the joy it gives me to see someone from the outside world again.” A sudden revelation came over me. That theatrical voice gave him away. The great detective, the second Hawkshaw, was John Cantrell. I asked him who he had been talking to as I could see no one there, and he answered in heart-rending tones, “Who was I talking to? Ah, it was but the ghosts of the teachers who taught, or tried to teach, us in the days of ’16. I tired of living in the world where everybody contradicted me, so I built this place where 1 know I can say what I please.” Messrs. Tankersley and Fox expressed a desire to stay there, so I drove back to Beggs by myself, stopping at the cafe to talk to Lucille. She was just the same merry-hearted girl she had always been. She informed me that Marjorie Miller had grown terribly fat and was the feminine gender for Paderewski. Stanley Cohagan had risen to the position of janitor at the Pumpkin Center School, which did not greatly surprise me. I knew he would do something famous some day; he was always so industrious. Faye Reece and Blanche Carey had joined the Salvation Army and were out collecting lost souls from the by-ways and hedges. Minnie Gheraghty had become head waitress at the Ritz. Edward Mars was an itenerent preacher, converting everything in his pathway by simply playing on his coronet the touching ballad, “River Shannon.” The next morning I was awakened by a loud noise. Running to the window I beheld a huge parade, the participants of which carried “Votes For Women” banners. I recognized Marion Murphy in its ranks, and, yes, right at the head of the parade marched Frances White, holding a brilliant banner in one hand and the ear of a meek little man in the other; he was marching also, in fact he couldn’t help it. 1 dressed quickly and hurried down the stairs, to be met at the door by a tall, lank fellow, who held out his hand and begged for “just one little nickel to git a strawberry sody with.” I knew at a glance that the poor fellow was Bob Holzemer. Sad, indeed, was the fact that this graduate of 1916 had worked in the drug store so long that he had become a fiend to the deadliest of all drinks, the “Sody.” The next day I departed for California, wondering if I would see the remaining six graduates while on my journey. I arrived at Ixjs Angeles the latter part of the week and after dinner strolled down to the beach to watch the wild sea waves waive and the incoming steamships steam. One large steamer was plowing her way toward the shore; a black flag was fluttering at her bow. A thought flashed like a meteorite through my brain that it was a pirate ship. Horror of Horrors! How could I escape the bloody cut-throats and plunderers. I began looking for a way to escape and discovered a sheltered place beneath a projecting rock on the cliff behind me. I climbed up to this place and watched the inmates of the ship come ashore. The captain, a medium sized fellow, with bristling whiskers and a lowering brow, came down the gang-plank first, then a tow-headed boy with rosy cheeks came next; he looked as if he had missed his calling, he should have been an aesthetic dancer. Then a head appeared from one of the port-holes and shouted, “You can’t shoot me, old Katzy, I’m a gosh-darned oil man.” The captain shouted to the tow-headed boy to pound the human peg back into his cell. With a shuddering shudder he started to obey when I uttered a shrill shriek of laughter, causing him to look around and lose his balance, falling head first into the water. I made my appearance then, knowing I would have nothing to fear when I gave them my name. That fierce looking, be-whiskered captain was just old Katzy, the tow-headed boy was Cowman, and their prisoner was little Reedy. They were a great deal surprised to see me there, and when I asked them why they were in such bloody business, they replied that they were merely staging a play for the movies. The play being over, the small band of players came over to me, and, oh joy! the leading lady was Marie Vaughn and another lady was Mary Muchmore. We proceeded to the dining room and had a very happy time until the waiter appeared with a huge tray of dishes filled with soup. Catching his toe in the hem of his apron he fell his full length, spilling all the soup right in my lap. This caused quite a commotion; the poor thing tried to apologize, but stopped in the middle of a sentence and gazed from one to the other of us, then began to cry. Upon asking the cause of his grief, he replied that we looked so much like some of his old school mates that he could not help it. Upon inquiring his name we discovered that he was Lester Mallory, another of the Seniors. After I had left the players I strolled down to the depot and while there a train came crawling noiselessly along and stopped in front of me. It astonished and startled me with its absence of noise. The train crew acted as though they were deaf and dumb; the whole affair seemed to be composed of incandescent lights. A ghostlike porter came down from the train and placed his step so the passengers could get off. I say he was phantom-like because I could see right through him and detect the seam down the back of his coat. Then without a word came phantom-like forms from the coach, all composed of the same air-like substance. I gazed in astonishment, for there before my very eyes, descended methodically and silently the class of T6, the president, Dave Hilles, leading them. They paid no attention to me, even w'hen I spoke to them. I could not move; some supernatural power seemed to be holding me; I stood as though rooted to the ground. When my chum, Peggy Boyd, went past me I struggled mightily to reach her. She gave me a vacant stare and the whole phenomenon vanished as it had come, noiselessly, except for a loud booming in my ears which grew louder and louder, shouting that the whole thing was a dream; the Spectral Train was but the train of my thoughts laden with the Seniors of ’16. I opened my eyes to find that the booming was the voice of the ocean, and that I had fallen asleep by the beautiful sea. F. P. T6. LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT E, the Senior Class of 1916, do hereby bequeath, as we are of sound mind and otherwise able to take care of our own affairs, to the next Senior Class, all our dignity, honor and sense of humor. To the beginning Fresh-ies, our Iodine Bottle and instructions for use thereof. To the Sophs, our power to bluff the Faculty and get exempt in those E-X-A-M-S (?). To the Juniors of next year, our most exquisitely pleasant manner and bearing. To. Mr. Erdman, our sunshiny nature and freedom of speech. We leave one-half of our essays behind to be read by future generations that they may know how exceedingly brilliant we were. The other one-half we will, willingly, allow to be used as fire kindlers (trusting that they are not too rank for that). We most joyfully leave to the next Physics Class our note books, as we have no further use for them. Thus, we, the aforesaid Class of said school, do hereby leave the above-mentioned articles. This, the 13th day of school year, in the presence of competent witnesses, we sign this legal compact. THE SENIOR CLASS. Witnesses: MUTT. JEFF.

I, Thelma Carleton, leave my cynical disposition to Naomi Trotter. ro THE SENIORS FROM A FRESHMAN In the year of 1913 There came to Sapulpa High A class not large in number, With the motto, “live, not die.” They worked their way up to the top With an everlasting will. They had determination, A trait that’s hard to kill. They’re now the highest of our school, To us they are very dear. But the saddest part is yet to come, They leave our midst this year. They leave to go out in the world, Returning not again. They’ll think of dear Sapulpa; Of how it looked to them. Farewell, you faithful Seniors; We wish you all long life: May it be a life of happiness, And not a life of strife. JU NI0R5 M JUNIORS We’re a band of twenty-five, This Class of Seventeen. Of course we had our trials, As Freshies we were green. As Sophomores we led the school, In social things and such; Though we didn’t bother The Seniors very much. And from this loyal company, We’ve given to the rest, Many famous football stars, Said to be the best. Among us there are singers, Oh, yes, and also readers, Who guide us in the narrow path And are named as the leaders. Burgess was our president. Then came Bartlett, too, After him came Irvin, He’ll stay till we are through. We now have come out from the age Of bibs and little dresses, Into one of manliness— They’ve cut off all our tresses. In just one year, (if all goes right) Before the school we’ll stand, Clothed in stately cap and gown. Diplomas in our hands. And while our hearts with pride are filled. You’re safe in just one guess: We’ll be—Oh, Sort’er Homesick For dear old S. H. S. JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS BERT IRVIN President ANNA McEUEN Vice-President BUELAH MALLORY Sec. and Treas.

During that, our first year, we attracted little notice, being as verdant and unsophisticated as most Freshmen classes. We held one social event of importance—a hayride—on which there were the usual number of conflicts. In our Sophomore year we gave a Hallowe’en party, after first signing the “Pledge of Peace” with the other classes. The affair was so successful that we were encouraged to give another—a Forty-two party—where we were entertained in a very novel way. This year we have been making agonized efforts to raise funds for a smart Junior-Senior banquet. First we sold tickets for the Empress Theater, receiving a per cent, and later held a box supper, doing very well in both attempts. We are really a very fine class, although we have one noticeable peculiarity, — our fondness for holding class meetings and electing officers. This year we have so far had only four presidents—Walter Burgess, Charles Bartlett, Dick Benson, and last, Bert Irvin, who has clung to that important office for a month, and has hopes of keeping it until school is out. Our other officers this year are Anna MeEuen, vice-president, and Beulah Mallory, secretary and treasurer. JUNIOR CLASS PROPHECY The question has often come to my mind just what each member of the Junior Class 1917, would be doing and what position he or she would be holding in the struggle for supremacy twenty years hence. To satisfy my mind, I looked through the telescope of time. This is what my observation revealed: Now all of a sudden, as the eye-piece settles down, Vividly before it you see one Daniel Brown, An exhibition dancer, is Daniel you know, So call your friends and see him after the show. So, move on the telescope, and in it we’ll see The celebrated artist, Laura Carmany. She is painting now a picture with Diamond Dye bluein’, Of the village queen, Miss Anna MeEuen. We will turn the telescope toward a small Arkansas town. And there is found the mayor, Mr. Ruby Brown. He still is small, but is a mighty king, And he rules the town like Hazel sings. We turn the lens by wheel and hand And the view we see is a popcorn stand, The party inside we’ll see later or sooner, Which will prove to be handsome Joe Brooner. The next place we stop is a small grandstand, To see them display their utility man; His name is Hans Wilson, and he sure is fine, He works every day, and receives a whole dime. We are now looking for Miss Etta Weaver, So please look this way, and maybe you’ll see her. She’s “chaufferett” and still in the lead, And if you ride with her, surely you’ll speed. Now here comes a lady down the street, And I’ll tell you she is really hard to beat. Her first name is Lucile, and her last is McCabe, To catch a millionaire she’ll never need aid. Now here comes Miss Desmukes, a schoolmate I knew, Often I’ve wondered what she would do. At piano playing she’s the peoples’ pick, Really she’ll make Paderewski look sick. Merle Harrison is married now, you know, And her husband is a man that’s just so—so— So Merle has changed, as you can see, As her husband is a preacher, praying for Thee. The next thing we spy is a big circus tent, And behold, there’s Miss Perry out on a net. There is Opal and Leota and Georgia, you know, And they are members of the great side show. The next scene is a sky scraper, and we see Vernie Ray, And about this young man please let me say, That he is still bright, and as quick as a top. And now has a position of a union bell hop. Our telescope is focused on the old state of Missip., And there is McManis, teaching as he sees fit. Our lens are hazy, as looking’s no cinch. But yet, in gay Paris, I see Lillian Lynch. In the distance we see a suffrage parade. Led by B. Mallory, a handsome young maid. Now in this parade we all had a treat, Seeing Gladys Fox trotting down the side street. As we swing our telescope, and around it twirls, We see a pretty college, one just for girls; There we see Robyn lecturing them all, Telling how he reached the famous old hall. Now look here, there’s Etta, Grace, and Philomena too. For some rich fellow they surely will do. Now there is Brice Hickey and May Scott, you know; They are married now, and surely are a show. Now there is Adelebert, and Naomi, his sister, Who claim they can cure both freckle and blister; Over your face some powder they’ll sprinkle, Hokey Pokey! Gone are your wrinkles. The end is drawing near, and our lens are dirty, But we still can see some one who is pretty; I’ll brush the glass and see the young lady, She lives in New York; it’s Beatrice McCrady. We see two young men by the name of Burgess, Really their names you ought to easily guess. One who is quiet, wishes for fame; The other plays third in the baseball game. The writer is tired, so will stop and rest, So his name, I fear, you will have to guess. For some unknown reason he has not been seen, So let’s give nine cheers for our Class of ’17. SOPHOMORE POEM Here’s to the Class of Yellow and Black; Here’s to the class that courage don’t lack; Pennants to buy and hang on the wall, Which no other class has done at all.

As Freshmen we took our little dose meekly, knowing well our revenge would come later. A few parties and hay rides constituted the social activities of our first year. As Sophomores we again came to the front with social functions, having had two (inconceivable numbers) parties this year. The first was held in the Domestic Science building; the other at the home of Rose Wilkonson. In these social events the girls proved themselves to be real entertainers, and cooks also. We look for- ward to our Junior year, which promises a repitition of these good times. This year there are sixty members in our class, and we have found a few of them still clinging to Algebra as though loath to give up all the pleasures of a Freshman. After much strenuous pleading on the part of our president, enough money was raised to buy a pennant bearing the class emblem and colors of yellow and black. Some of the Seniors thought it would be a joke (?) to confiscate this new pennant of ours, and did so, having lost theirs in a similar manner some years before. This ends the history of our past. We look forward with an optimistic smile, and with the steely determination to do our best, and to contribute whatever honors we may to our dear old S. H. S. But really, friends, we are some class. We’ve pretty girls a plenty, Really studious pupils, Some class, this Class of Twenty. And when we rise to Senior’s place. Have diplomas in our hands, We’ll think of when we were Freshies, The greenest in the land. “A” FRESHMEN CLASS OFFICERS I MI I LIP CASE President FRANK HENGST Vice-President ARRENA HENGST Secy, and Treas. w w A” FRESHMEN CLASS ROLL Philip Case Alfred Bruin Cleone Barnette Carrie McDonel Izzie Thrift James Thrift Frank Hengst Leone Gillette Lula Smith Maud Evans Robert Lawrence Pearl Sandels Bruce Morris Cecil Downs Edna Casey Ted Morris Winona Ausmus Fern Peters Glen Cole Glen Wallis Henry Yaular Helen Richardson Mary George Merwing Croston Vivian DeCramer Earl Sandy lone Summers Idella Ruhart Merle Miller Willie Hemphill Vivian Reed Ruth Smith Muth Moore Ralph Mengershausen Ruba Martin Rupard Scott Arrena Hengst B FRESHMEN B FRESHMEN “B” FRESHMEN OFFICERS EARL YOCUM President STERL EGAN.........

The present membership of the Senior Class, who are Sigma Deltas, entered the Society four years ago, and have faithfully given their splendid work and exceptional talent on the literary programs. The organization in 1912 was just at the beginning of good work and becoming a well-moulded Society under the strong leadership of their president, when the present class members were made Sigma Deltas. During the year of 1912-1913, the Society continued its splendid programs, each one showing a marked improvement over the former. The year of 1913-1914 was a most prosperous one for the Sigma Deltas, their membership increasing to about double that of the former year. Not only had it increased in membership, but new and exceptional talent was added. On March 13, 1914, the first contest between the two literary societies, Sigma Delta and Delphian, was held in the H. S. Auditorium. The following represented the Sigma Deltas: Declamation....................... David Hides Vocal Solo........................Frances White Girl’s Reading ............Fannie Mae Williams Piano Solo.......................Marjorie Miller Debate Venna Ray and Charles Birge These representatives, under the faithful leadership of their president, Leo Du-Bois, proved themselves superior to their opponents by winning the contest 9 to 3. The year 1914-1915 continued with greater prosperity than the preceding one. David Hilles was unanimously elected president of the Society, and willingly gave splendid service. The term began with an ambitious spirit, the annual contest the event of interest. The former representatives were again re-elected for contestants, with the exception of the debate, which was well represented by Daniel Ingraham and James Rutherford. Work was begun early; and with constant training and society spirit, the Sigma Deltas were once more pronounced winners of the contest. With this encouragement, the Sigma Delta Society continued its splendid work under the direction of their former president, David Hilles, for the year of 1915-1915. The present membership is over a hundred, in which exceptional new talent is being discovered. The entire society is looking forward to the splendid contest, which is to come at the end of the 1915-1916 term in May. And each member has begun working with an ambition which always results in a fertile harvest. The contest this yer is to be more thoroughly worked out than has been the custom heretofore. A preliminary will be held about the second week in April; and from these contestants the final representatives will be chosen. This method was decided upon by a committee, organized for the purpose of making by-laws for the Society Constitution, which was later adopted. The last provision of this constitution excluded the winners of first place in last year’s contest, from entering as a representative in their event this year. Therefore, David Hilles for oration and Marjorie Miller for piano solo, are excluded from the Sigma Delta representatives. The following Sigma Deltas were elected to represent the society this year: Vocal Solo....................Irene Valentine Girl’s Reading................Frances White Piano Solo....................Rollie Kennedy Declamation....................

Motto—Go Forward. has always been the custom of Sapulpa High School to give various kinds of literary entertainments each year. In the year 1912-1913, two separate societies were organized, Delphian and Sigma Delta. The first president of the Delphian Society was Chester Cohagan, under whose leadership the Society was remarkably successful. Herbert Bassett was the president the second year. During this year a contest was given between the two Societies in which the Sigma Deltas won a loving cup given by Mr. Egan. The Society winning three successive years will be the permanent holder of the cup. Loy Wilson was the president in the year 1915-1916. Much interest was taken in the contest, but the Sigma Deltas were again fortunate. This year John Cantrell has been our president. Much enthusiasm has been shown in the programs and the work of the Society has been successful. Much preparation is being made for the contest. The Delphians figure that “where there’s a will there’s a way. JOHN CANTRELL Declamation RUTH MOULDER..... Vocal BEATRICE BOYD Reading IZZIE THRIFT Piano Solo WATSON WISE...............Debate DAN BROWN................Debate GIRLS GLEE CLUB BOVS’ AND GIRLS’ GLEE CLUBS HE Boys’ and Girls’ Glee Clubs of Sapulpa High School were organized during the early part of the year under the leadership of Miss Elizabeth Walters, supervisor of music in the public schools. These organizations of music were originally brought together with the splendid help and training of Mrs. Mary E. Wharton, former supervisor of music. Under excellent training and constant working, both Glee Clubs have steadily risen from minor organizations to two of the best in the High School. The very successful production of the unique operetta, “H. M. S. Pinafore,” easily proved the ability and thoroughness of training of both organizations. Much of the success with which the operetta was given is due to the faithful and never-ceasing work of Miss Walters, the music instructor. The following are members of the Girls’ Glee Club: Olive Anderson, Delia Avery, Lillie Cobbs, Erma DeVillers, Esther Eak-in, Louise Elkins, Jim Ferral, Hattie Felk-el, Garnett Haines, Izetta Hart, Eugene Hatfield, Margaret Hennage, Gladys Hill, Evelyn Holtzclaw, Mae Hopkins, Lillian Linch, Jewel Menifee, Marjorie Miller, Rosalie Mars, Hazel Morford, Ruth Johnson, Ruth Moulder, Mary Muchmore, Marguerite Paur, Helen Nichols, Martha Robertson, Florence Rose, Marie Ross, Aleen Schall, Dorothy Snider, Lillian Smith, Hazel Stal-lard, Irene Valentine, Eulala Watson, Es-tella Whorton, Frances White, Rose Wil-konson, Grace Wilson, and Lucille Johannes, accompaniast. The members of the Boys’ Glee Club are: Bruce Morris, Daniel Ingraham, Samuel Ingraham, Lawrence Hill, Milford Reed, Edward Mars, Earl Yocum, Walter Burgess, Watson Wise, John Cantrell and Eugene Redd. HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA 'HE Sapulpa High School Orchestra was organized under the leadership of Miss Walters during the early part of the year. Faithful work and regular practice were immediately taken up by the members. Much of the success of the operetta, “H. M. S. Pinafore,” is due to the High School Orchestra, for their splendid selections in entertaining the audience between acts. This orchestra has not only given its services for this one operetta, but furnished music for the Senior play. Every member of this splendid organization is ever ready to offer his services in time of need. It is hoped by the students that this orchestra will continue its excellent and progressive work throughout the years to come; and thus establish a name for itself. The members are: VIOLIN Cecil Downs. Erma DeVillers. Margaret Hennage. Harold Bates. CLARINET Robert Lawrence. CORNET Samuel Ingraham. Hattie Felkel. Edward Mars. MELLOPHONE Daniel Ingraham. DRUMS Leslie Wilson. PIANO Mary George. DIRECTOR Miss Walters. DOMESTIC SCIENCE CLUB DOMESTIC SCIENCE CLUB URING the past ten years the importance of Home Economics has grown until at the present time no High School of accredited standing is complete without a Domestic Science Course. This course was introduced into the Sapulpa Schools in 1911, Miss Mahone being the first instructor. The work has gradually but certainly improved during the following years under the supervision of Miss Dunckle and the present teacher, Miss McCorkindale, until now we are rated as second in the state. One of the features of the work which has been both profitable to the department and beneficial to the girls of the advanced class is the preparing and serving to the faculty of luncheons and dinners. A club of Domestic Science girls known as the Delta Sigma Gama was organized in the first semester of the school year 1914-1915. The purpose of the club was to bring the girls together in a social way and also to raise money for the department. At the close of the school last year the club dues furnished a sufficient amount to buy pictures and other minor articles for the rooms. The meetings of the club are held on alternate Thursday afternoons. On March 18th, a cooked food sale was given, the proceeds of which are to buy silverware. Altogether the present and past years of the work here have proven that Domestic Science and Art are not new and impractical ideas in school work, but that they are quite as useful in equipment for life as the three “R’s.” SOPHOMORE PARTY On Friday, October 25th, the Sophomore Class opened the social activities of the year by a party given at the Domestic Science building. Only members of the class and members of the faculty were present. Forty-two was played throughout the evening and music was furnished by the High School Victrola. B FRESHMEN PARTY As the success of the Sophomore party was evident, Mr. Erdman allowed the B. Freshies to have a party the following Friday, October 31. Hallowe’e’n games were played during the evening and the Freshmen were reported as royal entertainers. A body of loyal students accompanied the football boys to Muskogee. The girls were: Margaret McFann, Maree Cobb, Lu-cile Johannes, Merle Harrison, Gladys Hill, and Hazel Stallard. Mrs. Cohagan chaperoned the girls. DOMESTIC SCIENCE DINNER Thursday, February 24th, the Domestic Science Class gave a dinner to the High School teachers. The table was beautifully decorated with ferns and cut flowers. S. H. S. BOYS DANCE The High School boys entertained in honor of Claremore Prep, football team at the Lee Hall Friday night, January 21st, with one of the most enjoyable dances of the season. The hall was decorated in the High School colors. Punch was served throughout the evening to fifty guests. The Moulder Orchestra furnished music for the dancers. The Freshmen showed their spirit by joining and giving a party to themselves and the faculty, Friday, January ith, in the Domestic Science building. Dainty refreshments were served by the committee. SOPHOMORE PARTY SLEIGH RIDE Friday, January 21st, the Sophomore Class entertained with a party at the Wil-konson home on South Maple street. The class colors, orange and black, were used as decorations throughout the rooms. The game of bunco formed the diversion of the evening. The score cards were beautifully hand-painted by some of the members of the class. Gladys Hill carried off the prize for high score. An elaborate luncheon was served to over fifty guests. JUNIOR LINE PARTY On Friday evening, March 17, the members of the Junior Class were delightfully entertained by James Flynn. The merry throng met at the Cardinal Drug Store at 8:00 p. m. From there they went to the Empress Theatre and after the show they returned to the Cardinal, where a delightful luncheon was served. Toasts were given and all departed, declaring James a very delightful host. ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION PARTY The athletic association of Sapulpa High School gave a party in the Domestic Science hall in honor of the school athletes and the members of the association, Friday, February 4th. The hall was gaily decorated in the school colors. The evening was spent in music, games, and contests. The contests took the nature of a track meet. James Rutherford won the discus throw. Jewel Menifee and Earl Saunders won the prizes for the best all-around athletes. A dainty two-course luncheon was served to about a hundred guests by the refreshment committee: Blanche Purcell, Beulah Mallory, Etta Weaver, Marion Murphy, and Rolla Kennedy. Thursday, January 13th, a crowd of High School boys and girls, enthusiastic by the snow and ice, built a sleigh and proceeded to enjoy a ride. But either the load was too heavy, or their knowledge of making sleighs was lacking, for they had not gone far when the sleigh broke, and the merry party had a cool walk home. S. H. S. DANCE Wednesday, February 9th, the High School boys gave a dance in honor of the Schmidtonian Glee Club of Oklahoma University. The dance began at ten o’clock, immediately after the concert given at the South Methodist church. The Lee hall was profusely decorated in the High School colors. The Moulder Orchestra played for the dance throughout the evening. This was the second of a series of dances given by the High School boys. JUNIOR CLASS BOX SUPPER On Friday evening, March 31, the Junior Class gave a box supper for the purpose of raising money for the Junior-Senior Banquet. The sum of fifteen cents was charged for admittance to the H. S. Auditorium and for this the guests were entertained by the following program: Reading Merle Harrison Piano Solo Adelbert Trotter Vocal Solo Beatric McCrady Boys Quartet—Eugene Redd. D. Lindsey, D. Ingraham and Ivan Lytle. After the program the boxes were auctioned off by E. Redd. He proved himself a competent auctioneer, for the Class realized a goodly sum. RAMATICS, or the art of expression, has always held an important place among the student activities of S. H. S. Various plays have been given from time to time, all of which have been wonderful successes. Among the musical productions given in S. H. S. are such successes as “The Merry Milkmaids,” and “Pauline.” There have been Senior plays galore and many laughable farces have appeared from time to time, such as “The College Town.” The standards of dramatics have been elevated over a hundred per cent since the arrival of Miss Deal. She is to be highly commended for her untiring and never- ceasing efforts along these lines. It has been only through her that these brilliant dramatic successes have been made possible. There have been two plays given at school this year. One was “A Crazy Idea,” by the Seniors, and another was “H. M. S. Pinafore,” a musical play by the Glee Club. These will be treated separately in the following pages. The Senior Class will give another play, to be presented during commencement week. The Senior Class of T6 has been noted for its talents along these lines. Dramatics is a fine art in itself and should be encouraged. Here’s hoping that the coming classes will be as successful in their endeavors along this line as the Seniors have been. 1 HE SENIOR PLAY HE Senior Play, given by the Senior Class of Sapul-pa High School, well deserves the credit of being the most successful and the most enthusiastically received of any of the events given this year. “A Crazy Idea” was indeed a splendid success in every way. “The College Town” given by this class as Juniors last year, was a ready advertisement for “A Crazy Idea.” This snappy little comedy in four acts was splendidly coached by Miss Deal and Miss Schultz, and much of the success with which the play was given can easily be given to their credit. Each and every member of the entire cast deserves special comment and mention for his and her parts. Even though some of the parts were more difficult than others, each member of the cast gave himself the honor of a “star.” Without a doubt this success will long be remembered in the future history of the school. And the Senior Class cordially wish the future Senior classes their splendid success in theatrical attempts.

M. S. PINAFORE URING the first month or two of the 1915-16 school year, the combined Glee Clubs of S. H. S. began work on H. M. S. Pinafore, a light opera, to be produced before the public some time in the month of February. The Glee Clubs, under the direction of Miss Elizabeth Walters, instructor of music, worked hard and faithfully until the play was ready for production. The cast contained some thirty or forty characters and each and every character played his or her part as nearly perfect as could be expected from High School students. The public was very much pleased with the production, and showed their appreciation in many ways. Miss Walters is undoubtedly one of the best instructors in music in this part of the country, and her patience and constant effort while directing the opera, shows very plainly that she it well fitted for this kind of work.

Accompanist................Lucille Johannes SCENE FROM “A CRAZY IDEA” ATHLETICS APULPA High School has closed one of it’s most successful years in athletics. A lively, enthusiastic interest has been shown in all branches of sports. The student body has faithfully stood behind it’s representatives on the athletic field with their support. both financially and spiritually. Through the school spirit and through her athletes, then, S. H. S. has been able to uphold her past fine record in these lines. S. H. S. produced the best football team this year in her history. Credit for this is given to the school spirit manifested, to the team, it’s management, and last, but not least, Coach Dean. Basketball, while not a leading sport in S. H. S. because of lack of room to play, received considerable attention from the girls. Sapulpa High boasts of her baseball team very highly and it is recognized all over the state as a good, fast, hard-playing aggregation. School spirit, good athletes, good management, and Mr. Flack’s thorough coaching are responsible for the success of baseball in S. H. S. Our athletes of the track and field sport have divided their attention somewhat between track and baseball. They have, however, defended our title as champion of Creek County again. S. H. S. is well proud of her splendid tennis team. It made a good showing at Norman last year and is due much praise this year for their faithful work. The Sayanora is proud to state that athletics in S. H. S. has not lost any of it’s former prowess during the years of ’15 and T6. Here’s hoping that the future athletes, with much sought for modern equipment, will uphold the school’s honor as well as those have done, about whom you will read in the pages to follow. FOOTBALL A pigskin filled with air and rubber. Twenty-two men of bone and blubber, A kick and a punt, A tackle and a grunt, A head to swell and a crowd to yell, A nose to bleed and a coach to heed— That's Football.—Ex. FOOTBALL TEAM FOOTBALL PRACTICE STARTS OOTBALL prospects at the beginning of the 1915 season looked very bright for Sapulpa High School. On September 13th. the first day of the school year, football practice was started, and a squad of about thirty good, husky High School men came out for practice. After about two weeks of hard practice the first practice game was played with the Euchee Indians on their grounds. The Euchee Indians were not able to cope with S. H. S., and were beaten 14 to 0. The second practice game with the Indians ended with a score of 21 to 0, in favor of Sapulpa High School. HENRYETTA VS. S. H. S. On the first day of October, the S. H. S. football team journeyed to Henryetta for the opening game of the season. Henryetta had a good, strong team, but the noble work of the line and backfield of Sapulpa High held them for downs repeatedly, while the Sapulpa backfield carried the ball, over and over again, into Henryetta’s territory. Sapulpa crossed Henryetta’s goal line for two touchdowns and kicked goal both times. On an unfortunate fumble by S. H. S., Henryetta then crossed Sa-pulpa’s goal by heavy line plunges, after which they kicked goal. The game ended with a score of 14 to 7 in favor of S. H. S. This game, being the first of the season, everyone was well satisfied. CHANDLER VS. S. H. S. On October 8, Sapulpa gave her old rival, Chandler, a good drubbing, 26 to 7. In this game Sapulpa used the forward pass and old-style football, very few fakes being used. S. H. S. played just as well on the Chandler grounds as they would have on their home gridiron; the line holding like a stone wall and the backfields and ends making prodigious gains by end runs and line plunges and forward passes. To win this game was very sweet to Sapulpa on account of the “walloping” Chandler gave S. H. S. two years ago. Ah, “Revenge is Sweet.” The halfbacks, Bartlett and Burgess, played the game all the time. Spoko-gee, the quarterback, played the headiest game of his life, never doubting for a minute what to do next. Hayes, the “plunging full,” made many big gains through the line by his terrific rushing. He also made some sensational tackles. Rymer, the fast left end, was in every scrimmage and lots of credit is due him for the outcome of this game. Fox, right end, played a good game, both on defense and offense. Mallory, substitute for Fox, in the last half, also showed up well. The line, composed of Jones, Hillis, Cohagan, Richart, and Cantrell, was the means by which the victory was made possible. HASKELL A. M. VS. S. H. S. On October 15, Haskell A. and M. College came to Sapulpa confident of victory. They were just confident enough to get beaten 83 to 0. Burgess, Sapulpa halfback, made the first touchdown on a fumble by Haskell, in just 45 seconds of play. After that the game was a walk-over for Sapulpa. The Sapulpa backfield ran over the Haskell backfield just as if they were babies. Sapulpa used lots of passes and open plays. Seven touchdowns were made by S. H. S. in the first six minutes of play. Never once was Sapulpa’s goal line in danger. Haskell’s line crumbled before the huskies of Sapulpa’s line. Burgess made six of the touchdowns and the most of these were on forward passes. In the third quarter of the game there were only three regular S. H. S. men playing against Haskell. the rest of the regulars having been taken out in order to give the subs and second team a chance to play one quarter. The subs that played in the third quarter FOOTBALL SQUAD were Wise, Cross, Benson, Lindsey, and Elliott. This game showed the superiority of the team of S. H. S. over the teams of most of the high schools in the state. MUSKOGEE VS. S. H. S. On October 22, S. H. S. journeyed to Muskogee to match their brawn and wit against that of Muskogee High. After a long, hard ride on a slow train, we reached Muskogee. The game was called at three-thirty at the corner of F and Houston Sts. The game was a hard fought battle, but in the end, on account of Muskogee’s heavier line and on account of the terrific gains made by Mayes, Muskogee’s left tackle, S. H. S. was defeated 18 to 0. Sapulpa fought hard and continually for the victory, but were beaten by superior weight. Sapulpa’s team work was far superior to that of Muskogee and the Sapulpa back-field way out-classed that of their opponents. While the game was yet young, Spokogee, S. H. S. quarterback, was taken from the game with a badly wrenched knee. Later on, Captain Hayes, fullback, was hurt, but continued to play his position. Rymer was taken out in the third, but allowed to resume his position at the beginning of the fourth, only to be again removed. Rymer’s tackling and interference breaking were very effective. Bartlett, Hayes, Burgess, Spokogee, and Irvin composed one of the best backfields in the state, as this game proved. Mallory and Fox played their positions well. Elliott also played well and was slightly injured about the head in the last quarter. The guards and tackles played good, consistent football, but were simply outweighed twenty pounds to the man. CLAREMORE VS. S. H. S. At noon on October 29th, the team of Claremore “Prep” School arrived at Sapulpa. The game was called at three-thirty o’clock, and both teams went into the game to win. The S. H. S. team went into the game without two of their best men, Hayes and Spokogee, who had been injured in the Muskogee game and did not feel able to play. As a result, Claremore got the lead of one touchdown on Sapulpa. Hayes and Rymer then could stand it no longer and took their regular positions. This put lots of pep into S. H. S. and they fought harder for the game. Claremore weighed about the same as Sapulpa, but for the most part were faster on their feet. Later on in the game Spokogee took his place as quarterback, which enthused the S. H. S. boys still more. Both teams were fighting for a touchdown and finally Clare-more’s left halfback made a forty-yard run around right end for one. Every man on the Sapulpa team played the game well. The backfield, composed of Hayes, Spokogee, Bartlett, Burgess and Irvin, were the life of the team. It seemed that luck was breaking against Sapulpa whichevevr way she turned. The Claremore line was composed of 160-pound huskies, but these were but as babies before the well-trained line of S. H. S. Sapulpa “halves” made continuous, six to ten-yard gains through the line. The Sapulpa School Board and the patrons of S. H. S. then got busy and secured the services of a coach for Sapulpa High, for which the team of S. H. S. was truly thankful. HENRYETTA VS. S. H. S. On November 12, Henryetta came to Sapulpa, confident of victory. Sapulpa High was somewhat crippled, but after the first kick-off Sapulpa showed her superiority. Sapulpa s teamwork was splendid and the men worked like a well-regulated machine. The Captain of the team worked two or three new men and subs. The game was clearly Sapulpa’s from first to last. The final score was 61 to 0. Thus encouraged, S. H. S. looked forward to victory over Tulsa in the final game on Thanksgiving Day. TULSA VS. S. H. S. Thanksgiving day dawned cold and clear but as it had rained the night before the field was a little muddy. The Tulsa team arrived in Sapulpa about noon and brought with them about two hundred “rooters.” FOOTBALL SNAP SHOTS wmmm The game was called at three o’clock and each team determined to win. After about ten minutes of play Tulsa scored the first touchdown. Then in the next quarter Bartlett, of Sapulpa, made a rush through the left side of Tulsa’s line for a touchdown. Then the half ended with the score tied, 6 to 6. In the next quarter Burgess was taken from the game with a sprained ankle. Then Fox was injured and taken from the game. Sapulpa failed to use any fake plays at thus stage of the game, while Tulsa played the pass and fakes. In this quarter Impey, of Tulsa, kicked a field goal. The feeling was pretty high between the two teams, and also between the two factions on the side lines, and it looked for a while as if we should have some exciting times. But things were calmed down after a while and the game proceeded. In this quarter Brooner was substituted for Cohagan, and Elliott replaced Cantrell on account of injuries received in the struggle. In this game Sapulpa played old-style football, and though they played well, they could not win over the fakes and tricky football of their opponents. After another hard struggle Tulsa finally carried the ball to Sapulpa’s twenty-five-yard line, where Impey kicked another field goal. At the end of the game the score stood 18 to 6. Unfortunately, Tulsa was the winner. When the game was over both teams knew that there had been a football game. The wish and hope of every student of S. H. S. is that next year Tulsa will go down in defeat before the mighty defenders of S. H. S. on the football girdiron. SCHEDULE October 1—Sapulpa vs. Henryetta, at Henryetta.

S. had in 1915. Weighing about 185 pounds, and being about 5 feet 9 inches tall, he was a power in Sapulpa’s line. Always steady on defense, he made an opening through the opponents line on defense almost every time. Much of the success of the football team of S. H. S. is due to his sure passing and headwork, to say nothing of his sure tackling. S. H. S. loses Jones this year by graduation. She will feel this loss sorely and it will hurt her team severely. DAVID HILLES MANAGER—GUARD Hilles at left guard, played a good consistent game of football all the season. His grim determination to win and his whole-souled, earnest spirit to do his best, made him one of the mainstays of Sapulpa’s line. Hilles was good on defense because of his ability to use his legs. Many a man has thought that an octopus had him when he became entangled up in Hilles’s legs. Hilles is about 6 feet 1 inch tall and weighs about 160 pounds. S. H. S. also loses Hilles this year by graduation. For this she is truly sorry. STANLEY COHAGAN GUARD Cohagan at right guard was one of the hardest working men in a game on the team. And on account of his hard work in a game he fairly shone out in his brilliance. He never lost his temper (but once), and for this reason was always cool-headed and thought only of the game which he was playing. Whenever he heard his signal called he was just like a steam roller to the man opposing him. S. H. S. loses Cohagan also this year by graduation, sorry to say. Cohagan is about 6 feet tall and weighs about 167 pounds, but though he is big and sometimes a tiny bit clumsy, he still held up the standard of S. H. S. with remarkable success. FAYE RICHART TACKLE Richart played the first part of the 1915 season with S. H. S. and then dropped out of school. His loss was a very serious one to S. H. S. and he was sorely missed. At left tackle he was a bulwark of strength for S. H. S. and he never failed to do his duty and his part. Richart was an old head at the game of football and besides one of the fastest men on the team, he w as one of the surest line breakers. Richart played in over half of the games that S. H. S. played. He is about 5 feet 11 inches tall and weighs about 160 pounds. Here’s hoping that Richart re-enrolls in S. H. S. for the school year of 1916-17. WILLIAM IRVIN TACKLE Irvin, left tackle, enrolled in S. H. S. just in time to fill the place left vacant by Richart when he dropped out of school. Beginning at once after he entered school, Irvin came out every afternoon for practice. Superbly built, and strong as an ox, nobody seemed to be able to get by him. Irvin never failed to do his duty and always put into the game every bit of energy and fight which he possessed. Irvin is about 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighs about 165 pounds. Irvin was enrolled as a Junior this year and should he re-enroll in S. H. S. next year he will find a place waiting for him. MARTIN RYMER END Rymer at left end made the S. H. S. team by his sure tackling and interference breaking. Being fast and nimble on his feet and active as a cat, he was able to break up every play possible. In the game at Chandler he was so fast that he would come charging in from the end and get the man with the ball who wah going to hit the line for a “center rush.” Rymer was injured to a slight extent at Muskogee but he soon came back to his old form. Rymer is about 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighs about 135 pounds. He was enrolled as a Junior last semester and although he dropped out of school before the second semester was up. We hope he will be able to enroll next year. WALTER BURGESS END Burgess at right end was one of the mainstays of Sapulpa’s team. He was so fast, heady, and being experienced he always knew what to do and when to do it. In the early part of the season Burgess played in the backfield, but afterwards changed to end. Burgess especially distinguished himself in the Chandler, Henryetta, and Claremore games. On forward passes he was good and also on long end runs. Burgess was also a good defensive player and as solid as a stone wall. He is about 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighs probably 150 pounds. He will very likely be enrolled in S. H. S. next year, for which we are truly glad. LESTER MALLORY END Mallory at right end played his position well at all times. Fast and nimble, he could go down the field on a long pass and after receiving ii he was gone like the wind toward the goal. Mallory isn’t so very heavy, but he made up for it in speed. It was a case of sacrificing power for speed. Mallory was also a fast defensive player and by his hard and effective tackling he saved the loss of many a yard of territory for Sapulpa High. Mallory is about 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighs about 136 pounds. He graduates this year and Sapulpa High will mourn his loss. HOWARD FOX END Fox at end was known throughout the season for the precision and accuracy with which he received a pass. Fox was better on offense than on defense on account of the speed and quickness with which he got away from his position on the line of scrimmage. Fox’s best games were the Chandler, Henryetta and Tulsa games. He was slightly injured in the Tulsa game, but he soon “came out of it.” Fox also graduates this year and S. H. S. will have to hunt new material to fill his place. He is about 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighs about 137 pounds. CHARLES BARTLETT LEEFT HALFBACK Bartlett at left halfback made himself quite a hero during the football season by his brilliant runs and line bucks and hard tackles. Bartlett was not so very fast, but when he “hit the line” the opponents thought a steam roller had run over them. Bartlett’s specialty was hard tackling in defense and short tackle bucks on offense. His best games were the Chandler, Muskogee and the Tulsa games. Bartlett left S. H. S. at the end of the first semester and enrolled in O. M. U. at Guthrie. Bartlett was the best all-round athlete in S. H. S. and it certainly was a blow to lose him. We all hope for the best and wish that he may enroll here next year. Bartlett is about 5 feet tall and weighs about 160 pounds. HERBERT IRVIN RIGHT HALFBACK Irvin, at right halfback was the find of the sea- son for S. H. S. After football practice had been going on about two weeks, Irvin began to come out for practice every afternoon. After a week of hard work he was put on the sub list for the backfield. His first great opportunity came in the Muskogee game. Irvin took his place at right half when Spokogee was taken from the game on account of injury. Repeatedly Irvin carried the ball around Muskogee’s ends and halves for 20, 30 and 40 yard gains. From then until the end of the game he was the star for S. H. S. and all eyes were upon him. After this game Irvin was made a regular backfield man and Burgess was shifted to right end. When the ball was given to Irvin he seldom failed to gain more than five yards, and many were the long gains he made. Irvin is about 5 feet 11 inches tall and weighs about 157 pounds. S. H. S. expects him to do wonders for her next year. HENRY HAYES FULLBACK Hayes, fullback and captain of the team, was one of the staunchest men that S. H. S. had. When he went into a game, he went into it to win and when it was not possible to win he knew how to keep fighting until the end. As an example of his loyalty to S. H. S. and of his indomitable will power, let it be known that he played all season with a fractured collar bone. He was also one man out of a hundred who knew how to handle a team. Always calm and self-possessed himself, he inspired the same spirit into the men with whom he was playing. There was nothing for Hayes to do in his line of duty in a football game that he did not do. S. H. S. would be very much elated to know that he will enroll in Sapulpa High next year. JACOB SPOKOGEE QUARTERBACK Spokogee at quarter was one of these men to whom it means much to win and he was also of the kind that vould sacrifice himself to the fullest extentSw'order that it might be possible for his team to win. His team? Yes, his team, for it was greatly by his constant effort that S. H. S. produced the football team that she did. S. H. S. undoubtedly lost the Muskogee game on account of Spokogee having to leave the game because of a wrenched knee. It must have been torture indeed to have to stay on the side-lines and knowing that S. II. S. was being defeated and knowing also that he was the only man who could turn the tide, and yet not being able to turn a finger to help them. Spokogee knows that he is heartily welcome at S. H. S. and is thinking of enrolling next year. RAYMOND ELLIOTT UTILITY JOHN CANTRELL RIGHT TACKLE Elliot was the best utility man Sapulpa High School had last season. He played against every team and in one game or another he played every position except quarterback. Elliot is hard hitting and hard tackling and when a man succeeds in breaking the line where he is he has done a great deal. Elliot played consistent football all season and his best game was the Muskogee game. Elliot is one of the hardest working men on the team and seldom missed a practice. He is about 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighs about 138 pounds. S. H. S. is very glad to know that Elliot will be with the team next year and she depends much upon his strength and prowess for victory. Cantrell at right tackle is about 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighs about 160 pounds, and he has lots of stamina and “pep.” He was to the right of the line what Irvin and Richart were to the left. He is a sure tackle and a consistent blocker. His defense work is especially to be commended. Although slightly hasty in letting his temper rise, he is not to be censured for it, for it is this fighting characteristic which he has that has won him a place in the hearts of the students of Sapulpa High School. Cantrell worked hard during the football season and did not miss but two of the practices the whole season. S. H. S. loses him by graduation this year and for this loss she is truly sorry.

Game Dean “Bean” Coach “Use That Shift” All BASEBALL TEAM BASEBALL NINETEEN SIXTEEN ASEBALL season of 1916 opened early and a goodly number of aspirants for baseball honors appeared upon the scene of activities ready for work. The squad, under the management of Coach Flack, was gradually whipped into shape and a series of practice games were played with our neighbors, Kiefer High School. These games were the source of much good to the team of S. H. S., for it showed them their weak points, and also their strong points, and how to take advantage of them. The first practice game was played at Kiefer. The game was pretty closely contested, but S. H. S. finally triumphed by a score of 5 to 3. The next of the series was played at Sapulpa and on account of a “loose screw” the game ended 10 to 6 in favor of Kiefer. The third game was played at Kiefer, and resulted in a 10 to 3 score in favor of S. H. S. Then Kiefer came to Sapulpa and scored by beating S. H. S. again. The first game of the season was played with Claremore Prep. School at Sapulpa on March 17. Everyone was expecting a closely contested game from start to finish, but Claremore Prep. School is a long way from passing a baseball team. S. H. S. began the slaughter in the first inning and kept it up throughout the whole game. The team of Claremore Prep, was wholly at the mercy of the boys of S. H. S., for all that S. H. S. needed to do was to hit the ball and run and that would be a score. Every one of the boys of the S. H. S. team played good ball, and the team-work was almost perfect. Ausmus in the box and Spokogee behind the bat make up one of the best High School batteries in the state, and this fact the Claremore boys soon discovered. Elliot at short and Cohagan at first were the shining stars of the occasion. The final score stood at 38 to 4 in favor of S. H. S. The baseball fans of Sapulpa were some- what disappointed at the outcome of our game with Claremore Prep, and failed to come out in so large numbers to the next game, which was played on March 31 with Haskell A. M. College, which is situated at Broken Arrow. The game was played on the Sapulpa Steel Mill Diamond, and was very interesting from start to finish. The Sapulpa boys made two runs in the first inning and from then on through the game Haskell boys were unable to stop them, for they were working like a well-regulated machine. Haskell’s second base-man and her pitcher were her stars, while all the men of S. H. S. starred in this one game. The final score of the game was 10 to 3 in favor of S. H. S. SAPULPA-TULSA On April 6, 1916, S. H. S. played Tulsa High School on our home grounds. A good crowd was present at the game and a good spirit was running high. Sapulpa got a bad start and it looked for a while as if the tide was going against us, but the boys in blue and white rallied and fought their way to glory and victory. In the first inning Tulsa succeeded in scoring once. Then Sapulpa came to the bat and ran two scores. For a while the battle ran “nip and tuck” but in the fifth inning Tulsa “got lucky” and ran in five runs. The score then stood 9 to 3 in favor of Tulsa. Then in the last of the sixth inning the Sapulpa boys began to bunch their hits. S. H. S. scored nine times in the sixth inning, making the score 12 to 9. Then in the seventh inning Tulsa scored one more. So the score for the game stood 12 to 10, as it had been arranged to play seven innings. Oh! It was sweet to get revenge upon Tulsa High for that beating she gave us in football. Every one of the S. H. S. boys played the game from start to finish. The infield, composed of Ausmus, Spokogee, Bur- BASEBALL SNAP-SHOTS gess, Elliot, Mallory and Cohagan, were very sure and steady and they showed the effect of the training they had had. The outfield, Wilson, Robertson and Morris, were very much in their element and played ball like old veterans. The batting in this game was five hundred per cent better than it had been in any other game. Their team work was excellent and their head work almost perfect. TULSA-SAPULPA On April 13, Tulsa High came back to Sapulpa for another game. They weren’t satisfied with the drubbing which they had received the week before and thought that if they got another chance at Sapulpa that they would even up the score. It was a bad day for a game, as it was cloudy and misting at intervals. In the first two innings Tulsa hit the Sapulpa pitcher, Ausmus, pretty hard and amassed a total of ten runs. Then after that the boys of S. H. S. got up their fighting spirit and “came back.” Spokogee started the batting fireworks with a long hit and then the Tulsa pitcher was wholly at the mercy of the boys of the blue and white. In the beginning of the last half of the fifth inning, with the bases full, Mallory, S. H. S. second baseman, “poled out a clean three bagger,” scoring three runs. This was followed by one of the same kind by Cohagan, first baseman. When a total of twelve runs had been made by Sapulpa, the Tulsa team succeeded in retiring them for that inning. In the next inning, Spokogee, following the example of Cohagan and Mallory with another hit for three bases. The rest of the game was uninteresting as far as the closeness of the score was concerned. In the ninth inning Tulsa began to rally, but the fast work of the infield of Sapulpa kept them from scoring but once. Thus the game ended with a final score of 19-11. These two games have somewhat healed the wounds of S. H. S. made by the result of the Tulsa-Sapulpa football game of the 1915 season. Sapulpa was in line for the championship of the state last year and undoubtedly there was no more deserving or faster team in the State of Oklahoma. PERSON EL 0 THE TEAM MALLORY Mallory has played ball for about three years on the baseball team of S. H. S., and he is in word and deed a part of the team. Mallory, although an outfielder, is a utility man inasmuch as he plays almost every position on the diamond. Always cool and composed, Mallory never loses his head in a game, and by his “life and pep” he instills the same qualities into the rest of the team. BURGESS Burgess has played baseball on the Sapulpa High School team for two or three years and he has always been one of her mainstays He was catcher on the S. H. S. team up until this season, when he began to play third base. Burgess was also captain of the team of 1915. He is a man on whom S. H. S. can always depend. ELLIOT Elliot, the fast short-stop, is “the life” of the S. H. S. team. Fast on his feet, and with a swift, sure throw, he handles a ground ball almost perfectly. Also on his covering of the bases he handles the ball excellently. Elliot will remain in S. H. S. next year and will in all probability be to the team of 17 what he was to the team of ’16. ROBERTSON Robertson undoubtedly is one of the best outfielders of his class in the State of Oklahoma. He covers the ground that ordinarily would take two men. If h gets within reach of the ball, he never misses. It is doubtful if Robertson will be in school during the season of '17, but S. H. S. hopes for his return. CROSS Cross, outfielder, has worked very consistently during the season of ’16 and although he hasn't played every game, he has never shown a lack of interest and has always been willing to work faithfully and constantly at whatever he is set to do. Cross is a good outfielder and covers a great amount of territory and he will be a tower of strength for S. H. S. in the season of ’17. LINDSEY Lindsey at second base was a fast man and handled the ball easily and accurately. Although Lindsey was heavy-set, he was fast on his feet and played ball “like a whirl wind.” He did not finish the season with S. II. S. on account of his moving to Kansas. S. H. S. was very sorry to lose him, but we must bow to the inevitable. WILSON Wilson in right field covers his territory almost perfectly and his strong “whip” from the outfields is a great advantage to him. Wilson played on the team of ’15, and will probably be in S. H. S. and play on the team of '17. In Wilson S. H. S. has an asset which is valuable to her in more ways than one. SPOKOGEE • Spokogee, behind the bat, is one of the mainstays of the team. Always full of life and “pep”, he never thinks he is beaten until the game is over. His “peg” is as nearly perfect as possible and is “gotten away” with the speed of lightning. Woe to the base runner that tries to “steal” on Spokogee. AUSMUS Ausmus, the man on the mound, was the savior of the team of S. H. S. When the 1915 season of baseball began in S. H. S., it was discovered that S. H. S. possessed only one pitcher. By constant work, Ausmus has succeeded in filling the pitcher’s staff “all by himself.” He has never failed S. H. S. yet and we trust him enough to believe that he never will. COHAGAN Cohagan at first base is what you would call a star first baseman. No, I do not mean that he doesn’t make an error, but that they are “few and far between.” Cohagan is Captain of the team of ’16 and he is possibly the best selection that could have been made for the position. Although big and tall, he “reaches out and rakes ’em in” just like a big leaguer. S. H. S. is very sorry to lose Cohagan by graduation. MORRIS THE LINEUP Morris is another of Sapulpa High’s outfielders and has shown himself a steady if not a brilliant player. He isn't very large, but makes up for his lack of weight in speed. Morris played in a majority of the games of the 1915 season. STINSON Stinson has made for himself a place with the squad of S. H. S. by constant endeavor and perserverance. He has pushed his way upward against odds and fought for and won a place on the baseball squad of S. H. S. Stinson is an outfielder, but he is also an infielder of no mean ability. He will be with the team in 1917 and no doubt will prove a valuable asset to them.

Coach TRACK TEAM OF 1915 TRACK The track teams of S. H. S. have in the past been very successful, and S. H. S. has made a name for herself all over the state, through these teams. The first track team of S. H. S. was organized in 1909. It has won the Creek County Athletic Association meet for four times, by large majorities. The Tulsa meet of 1913 was won by Kendall College, but Sapulpa finished a close second. Chester Cohagan, a graduate of 1913 held the state record for three years in the pole vault and broke the record for broad jump, at Tulsa in 1913. The track team of 1914 was composed of Burgess, Basset, Bowersock, Rymer, Fox, Hilles, Mallory, Richard and S. Cohagan. They accomplished much and won the meet that year with flying colors. The track team of 1915 was as good, if not better than the one of 1914. It was composed of Burgess, Mallory, Fox, Rich-art, S. Cohagan, Brooner, Elliot, Bartlett, Ingraham and Wilson. The annual county meet was held in Sapulpa the last of March and this time, as before, Sapulpa dominated and proved her superiority. Sapulpa scored 59 points out of a possible 90. Faye Richart was all-around man with 19 points; then came Bartlett, Burgess, Mallory, Ingraham and Fox as point winners. On the whole, the track season of 1915 was very successful. On April 22, the independent schools of Creek County met in a hotly contested track meet. The independent schools of the County are, Sapulpa High School, Kiefer High School, and Drumright High School. Drumright was not very well represented and the meet turned out to be a contest between Sapulpa and Kiefer. Many rumors had reached Sapulpa to the effect that the towns of Kiefer and Drumright were going to come to Sapulpa with track men that were no less than wonders. But as everything turned out, the boys in the blue and white were, and are still, the best in the County. The day of the meet was an ideal one, except that the wind was rather strong, thus making it somewhat hard on the runners. Regardless of the fact that S. H. S. lost about three or four of her best track men last year, by patient effort and earnest endeavor she succeeded in overcoming her most dangerous rival in the County. The events were as follows: 100-YARD DASH 1st, Egan, Sapulpa; 2nd, Morris, Sapulpa ; 3rd, Elliot, Sapulpa. 220-YARD DASH 1st, Hicks, Kiefer; 2nd, Hickey, Sapulpa; 3rd, Egan, Sapulpa. 440-YARD DASH 1st, Hicks, Kiefer; 2nd, Morris, Sapulpa; 3rd, Mose, Sapulpa.

S. in the last few years. Tennis tournaments, between all different societies and classes, have been the custom up until this year, but through some reason a tournament has not been promoted this spring. Sapulpa has been represented at Norman in the state tournaments for the last five or six years and all teams sent there have given good accounts of themselves. This year the enthusiasm over tennis has not been so great, but suffice it to say that the school is well represented in this sport, by Howard Fox and Watson Wise. They were selected as the team by the faculty tennis coaches, Mr. White and Mr. M. McCarthy. Howard Fox is a sterling player, and by hard practice has made himself a tennis player able to cope with the foremost of the state. He plays as well in singles as he does in doubles. He is champion of Creek County and won first place at the Interscholastic Meet of the Wilburton School of Mines. The team is well balanced, and in Watson Wise, Fox has a good, steady, consistent partner, who has the making of a fine player. This team represented S. H. S. in the Wilburton Tournament and honored their school by winning first place. TENNIS TEAM GIRLS BASKETBALL WING to the lack of proper facilities for staging games, basketball did not receive much attention in the school, but despite this discouragement the girls organized first and second teams, and when the weather permitted, practice was held on the open field court, under the capabble instruction of Miss Nellie Schultz. Both first and second teams worked diligently and an abundance of good material was in evidence. How- ever, no out of town games were scheduled and the desirous athletes were limited to one game between the first team and the second team, in which the first teamers succeeded in winning the hard contested battle by the close score of 6 to 4. In the future, with a modern gymnasium containing basketball equipment, Sa-pulpa High can be assured of being well represented in this particular line of sport, but at present life will have to be sustained by prospects.

LITERARY TAKEN HERE AND THERE AROUND THE SCHOOL IHE STORY of A CAMERA AM a small, harmless camera, living with my master, the photographer, in our home, the studio, on Main Street. In my life I have had many cares and trials, but have held up splendidly—until now. Now I fear that my days are few, and that soon I’ll be dead and buried in the trash barrel in the finishing room. Not many weeks ago, my master told me that he had been selected to take the pictures for the High School Annual. I knew that it meant work, but what my master could do I could do. (I mean I thought I could.) We took pictures of the buildings, the games, oh, just everything that a person would want in a year book. I was holding up fine; but one day the photoman said to me, “Now we must be put to the test. We must take pictures of the classes.” First came the Freshies to pose for me —innocent, green Freshies, with their blushing girls and their bashful beaux. They were good to me and as a reward their pictures were fine. The Sophomores came next. Well, they were pretty decent—but oh, those Fresh- men got my eye. I heard them say something about wishing they had a picture with their pennant. Seems as though that emblem they were talking about, had disappeared. The third day those Juniors came up to see me. Friends, Romans, and Countrymen: I am here to say they were awful. I couldn’t take a good picture of them to save me, and consequently, they had to have two sittings. The Seniors were not so bad; I guess it was because they came one at a time, though. But they really were pretty good looking at that. For some reason they didn”t seem so very dignified. But friends, my day is near. My master told me only a few minutes ago that the faculty were coming to have their pictures made this afternoon. I have stood many tests, but who, even though he is strong, could stand that? When I am gone, please put over my grave this little epitaph: “Laying here beneath the sod, Worn with care and strife. Is a worn-out Camera, Killed—snapping High School Life.” S. H. S. FROM DIFFERENT ANGLES A BUTTERFLY STORY HE other clay I was lying in the hammock out under the leafy trees, gazing at the passers-by, listening to the song of the birds and thinking of my last summer’s occupation, all at the same time. I had spent it collecting those beautiful creatures. Butterflies. I had a nice collection and was wondering what other kinds I could get when I noticed one of mammoth dimensions fluttering in the air. After gazing intently at me, as if to read my inmost thoughts, it perched itself on a limb above me and said: “Come; I will show you something you should know.” Being curious to learn more of this queer phenomenon, I followed. It guided me to a large, hollow tree, wherein was a small door which opened and I found myself in a large room, the sides of which were lined with cork. Upon them were row after row of boys and girls, pinned there with mounting needles. “This,” said Madam Butterfly, “is what I wanted to show you. This room here contains our miscellaneous collection. You see, I was flying past your window one day and saw a number of my kin pinned in boxes and it gave me this idea. The next room contains a number of curious specimens of humanity; I believe you call them teachers.” She opened another door and began to show me the ones she had in that room. “We caught these close to Sapulpa; this little blue-eyed one with the golden hair is what they call an English Teacher. We caught her just as she was in the act of turning a boy over her knee. This distinguished looking man with the long nose and the child-like, winsome expression, was not hard to catch. We flattered him a little and he informed us we could do anything with him we saw fit. Of course he had no idea that we were going to take away his breath and pin him up here. They never have. We just get them here, give them a drop of Cyanide Potassium and then soon find themselves dangling from a pin in the wall. “Next you see, is a small dark-haired lassie. She was very sweet and docile about coming with us. This one in the corner we prize very highly on account of her fair skin and also for those glass things over the eyes. We captured her one day while she was walking around the assembly. The next is what they call a Domestic Science Teacher. We had to coax her away by whispering of good things to eat. (which we did not have). “This big Irishman we caught while on his way to the Manual Training Building. He was so fat and nice that we sliced pieces off for dinner before pinning him up here. It was great fun to see him dance around when we did it. We have two of this nationality. The other is the red-haired lady which we secured one day while she was trying to prove to a poor little Freshie that a Rounder would fit nicely into a square. “This little swell over here with the baby-blue eyes we caught while he was wandering aimlessly around, trying to spread a learned expression over his countenance. He imagined he was very intelligent and clever, but we discovered that he did not even know how to keep a piece of bread from falling on the buttered side. We whispered this information in his ear and told him he knew nothing outside of his Physics Labratory, which scared the poor little fellow so badly that he was real easy to capture, he being in a dazed condition. This tall one we caught when she was in the act of giving a poor German student a “P”. It was great fun for the scholars when we slipped the net over her head. The next you perceive is a Commercial Teacher. We slipped up on her while she was scolding a child for his lack of interest in short-hand. She was very angry, but we pay no attention to such trifles. “This last one, which we have in the glass cage, was a fright. We found him out in the woods trying to climb a tree, thinking he was a monkey. We keep him in this cage because he was so violent and treacherous that we were afreid he would get away, even after his breath was gone. He is prized for his beautiful, angelic and sweet tempered expression, and also for the nicely shaped pedal extremities. Oh, it was glorious fun to see his toes curl up and his ears flop when we gave him the poison. I almost wish he were alive so I could give it to him again. “This completes the collection we now have, but we are longing to get what they call a “Noble Senior.” ” With a cunning smile the creature came toward me. I knew what was in her mind and with a mighty scream that must have rent the air for miles around, I fell out of the hammock. � A CHANGE of HEAR! ARILOU sat on the edge of her bed and stared, accusingly, at one of her half-buttoned shoes. Laced boots were the vogue just now, but as usual Mari-lou was unable to wear the latest. There were so many little Carters, and it was hard enough to clothe them all respectably, and really impossible to buy for pretty Marilou all those charming accessories, which make up style. “Marilou,” called her brother, Lennox, from the hall, “Ma says if you expect to have any breakfast before you go to school you’d better rush! Half past eight!” Marilou haughtily ignored him, finished dressing, gave herself an admiring glance in the mirror, and stalked sulkily downstairs. The family was at the table, and just as she expected, there was her father in his shirt-sleeves, the twins, Doris and Dale, were quarreling as usual, Lenox, who was fifteen (almost two years her junior) was enjoying his breakfast, as most boys of his age do, and with no attention for any other matter. Jack, who was ten, had forgotten to comb his unmanagable tow-colored hair, and it stood up in the wildest disorder, just as it had when he sprang out of bed. Marilou sat down without saying goodmorning. “Len,” she said abruptly; that young man jumped and looked up quickly, for he knew from past experience what to expect. “I wish you’d ever learn to eat decently,” Marilou said crossly. “Dad, why don’t you make him stop eating as though he must get his share at once, or never. Jack CAN’T you remember to comb your hair; do you realize that you look exactly ‘like the wild man of the hills?' Doris, you and Dale keep quiet for a few moments at least. Great Heavens! One can’t even eat in peace at this house.” And Marilou cast one despairing look at her impossible family, and springing up from the table, left the room angrily. She picked up her old hat and her books and started for school. Her head ached, she was hungry and cross, and wanted to cry. But she couldn’t, for crossing the street toward her came Miss Spencer, the music teacher. She gave Marilou a bright, sunshiny smile as she said cheerily, “Good morning, Marilou, isn’t this the most beautiful day for the arrival of our Flower Month ?” “Oh!” Marilou stopped abruptly. “Why Miss Spencer, is this—yes it is the first of May, and my birthday—why I had forgotten all about it. Just think, I am seventeen today.” “Isn’t that lovely, dear,” Miss Spencer answered. “What a happy little girl” she said wistfully, “to be at home with your Mother and Father on your birthday. My parents are gone,” she went on sadly, “and I never had any brothers and sisters.” Just then they joined a group of jolly students and the little conversation ended. Occasionally, during the day, it came back to Marilou, and in spite of declaring that she was not treated right, and that no one of her family had even wished her a happy birthday, that little something, that is called conscience, told her insistently that she alone was to blame for her unhappiness. At noon, when she started to leave the building, she met Bod Ford at the door. Though Bob was a rather new student in the High School, it was pretty generally known that he thought a great deal of Marilou, and that she considered him her own private property. “How do you feel today, Marilou,” he called teasingly. “Much older? Here’s some candy for you,” and he held out a box of her own favorite chocolates. “Oh ! Thanks, Bob—how nice of you.” Marilou gave him her sweetest smile. After all the world didn’t look so very dark —for it certainly was nice to have the best looking and best dressed boy in school for a beau. “But whatever would he think of the rest of them,” she said to herself. “Dad has such queer ways and mother hasn’t a speck of style, and the boys, oh!” Marilou groaned inwardly. As they came up to the gate, they saw Mrs. Carter standing on the steps. Mrs. Carter’s whole life was wrapped up in her children. It was a passion with her to make them happy. She had spent the morning preparing a birthday dinner, for Marilou, and now as she saw her coming down the street with Bob, she decided to invite him to remain for dinner, prompted only by the desire in her kind, generous heart to make her little dissatisfied daughter happier. The invitation sounded like a knell in Marilou’s ears—this, she said to herself, is the end of our friendship. He’ll have nothing more to do with me after seeing us at home, and at the table! But Bob, unconscious of the near termination of their “school kid” romance, accepted heartily, and there was nothing for Marilou to do but seem pleased and lead the way into the house. A little later they assembled in the pleasant dining room, where, oh! such a good dinner was spread (why! oh why! couldn’t her mother have served it in courses) ? Doris and Dale dashed madly to their places. “See your cake! look at your cake, Marilou,” they yelled joyously. Jack came in with his blond hair standing straight up as usual, and Len greeted Bob hurriedly, with his preoccupied and expectant gaze fixed greedily on the table. And worst of all, here came her father, and as usual— in his shirt sleeves. Her humiliation was complete. Why was it that such things always had to happen to her? She could never face Bob again. But Bob—he certainly must be a born pretender, for he seemed to be enjoying himself to the utmost. At the dinner he ate—why, it was second in size only to Len’s. After the birthday cake had been cut and eaten, her father handed her a big box, and inside was a pair of the coveted lace boots. Len presented her with one of the late best sellers, and each remaining member of the family gave her some pretty gift. Marilou, in spite of her recent disgrace before Bob, found herself growing decidedly happy. On the way to school little was said, but at the doorway Bob turned to her and said, “Gee, Marilou, aren’t you just the happiest girl in the world? If I had a home like that and a bunch of brothers and sisters like yours—seems to me I’d be too conceited to associate with mere common, every-day folks, like me for instance.” Marilou began to think. She had always imagined that Bob’s big, pretentious home, and his more pretentious step-mother, were representatives of the things she thought most of. Now a doubt was taking shape in her mind, that grew larger as the day advanced. That night, before going to bed, she placed her new boots on a chair where she could gaze at them adoringly, until sleepiness weighed her lashes down. Visions of Jack’s dear old mussy tow head, as he awkwardly gave her his gift—came to her. And her deal old Dad—why, he was the kindest in the world, in spite of his shirt sleeves. Her sweet, sacrificing mother— the twins—how she would miss their quarreling if they were gone. Why even Len’s greediness became less terrible to her. “Aren’t they just the dearest in the world,” she murmured drowsily. B. B. ’16. . “NOBODY LOVES A FAT MAN” YSSES Grant Brown was fat! Not just merely plump and well rounded out, you understand, but bulgingly fat. His cheeks were round and almost eclipsed his little twinkling blue eyes. And besides being fat, he was afflicted with a pug nose, a shock of red hair, and elephantine ears which stood out almost at right angles to his beaming, good natured face. His hands were enormous, his feet looked like ferry boats, and to top all these misfortunes, his mother called him Ulysses, and always insisted on babying him, though he was sixteen years of age. It was at just this tender age that Ulysses, or Jumbo, as his devoted boy friends called him, fell in love. It happened in the spring, which is, of course, the most dangerous season for this strange malady. The school term was almost over, when a very charming young lady, Ethelyn Curtis, joined the Junior Class, to which our friend, Jumbo, also belonged. Miss Curtis was the extremely slender type of brunette —she had beautiful dark curls, large, coquettish eyes, one glance usually conquered, she also dressed very modishly, and, oh, well, the girls in the class all considered her a cat, and that explains exactly the sort of young siren she was. When “Jumbo” first saw her in English Class he began at once to have pains in the region of his heart; in short, he was smitten by the charms of the fair Ethelyn, as of course was every other male member of the class. He cudgled his brain in endeavor to arrange an introduction. “Believe me,” he said firmly, “I’ll have a date with that girl by tomorrow night as sure as I weigh 100 pounds.” (And that was the surest thing he could possibly have mentioned). Well, the introduction was arranged at once, through the help of a girl friend, and as the rest of the boys were rather slow and had not gotten acquainted, a date for the following night was also made. Jumbo almost flew home that evening, which is indeed a feat for a man who tips the scales at two hundred and thirty pounds. He was more excited than he had ever been before. Though he had often had dates with the girls whom he knew in his class, most of them had only bored him, but now that mischievious little God with the bow and arrow had aimed at him unerringly—he had never before felt just like this over a “date.” The next evening he started in immediately after supper to get ready. He combed his hair seven times—tried parting it on each side, in the middle, pompadour—but never before had his rusty locks been so hard to arrange (in fact he rarely before even troubled to arrange them at all). He puzzled for an hour before a selection of ties could be made. At last he was ready, and started out. On the way he went over several little charming speeches which he had perspir-ingly prepared during the day. The first was to be something like this: “Good evening. Miss Curtis—charming evening, isn’t it? Accept these bonbons with my compliments.” (Here of course he was to bend gracefully forward and present the bon bons). This reminded him that he didn’t yet have the bon bons, so he went back six blocks after them, and as he was decidedly warm his collar felt wilted when he at last came to Curtis’ front gate. He rather thought that it would be “the thing” to stand out here a few minutes, gazing rapturously at the abode of his love, but he had to give this up as he was already late. And just at that moment he saw Ethelyn watching him from the porch. His heart beat a bit faster and he assumed a debonair swagger as he started up the front steps, which, unluckily, were wet, and suddenly (he never knew how) Jumbo found himself inverted before the object of his adoration. This should have broken the ice, but if you are really in love it’s no fun to be so humiliated before the loved one, and it’s worse still to have her shriek with laughter, as Miss Ethelyn did. “Oh, say, aren’t you the Fatty Arbuckle?” she gurgled. Now, if there was any point upon which Jumbo was sensitive, it was his avoirdupois, so he rose with some dignity (and no little pain) and said, “Hello,” entirely forgetting his little speech. He presented the somewhat battered candy box (he had sat down on it on the walk)—which sent the young lady into another fit of laughter. After she had finished, she wiped her eyes and invited him to sit down beside her. But alas! That porch swing was not built for heavyweights, and it went down under Jumbo with a loud crash, which brought the entire Curtis family to the front door. But this little episode wasn’t at all humorous in Miss Ethelyn’s eyes. She became rather cool. Ulysses was frightened —he felt that he had not made the best of his opportunities, and was rather uncomfortable whenever he heard muffled roars of laughter from within. He decided to leave, although he had just come—so he arose with all the grace of a polar bear and told Ethelyn that it was about time for him to go. “Yes?” she said sweetly. Jumbo backed away from her toward the steps, and, poor boy, he had not judged the distance correctly and he went down the steps—backward, and with unusual velocity, taking with him four beautiful house plants and the stand upon which Mrs. Curtis had placed them. He picked himself up and fairly flew away, but not before he had heard Miss Jones beginning indignantly, “Well of all the big, fat hams!—” Jumbo did not slow down until he reached the Corner Drug Store. There was no one inside but the boy at the soda fountain, “Red” Haines. “’Smatter, Jumbo,” Red inquired, “had a fight, or are you reducin’?” “Shut up and gimme a coke,” Jumbo replied amiably. “Goin’ to the class party tomorrow night?” Red ventured. “Nup,” said Jumbo between gulps of coca cola. “Too many girls, and they get my goat!” 1907 Floy T.

It has many fine churches, and many excellent schools. The city improvements, such as street cars, water, light, fuel and paving, are second to no town in the state. Sapulpa has a population of over 15,000 people, and is growing rapidly. Store rooms and residences are at a premium. Sapulpa is in the center of the great Oklahoma oil industry. It is the largest division point of the Frisco railroad west of St. Louis. Sapulpa is the home of four of the largest glass plants in the southwest. Besides these there are numerous smaller concerns, such as brick plants, broom and mattress factories, ice factories, etc. Sapulpa offers gas at three cents per thousand cubic feet to all manufacturers. The magic city is surrounded by a fertile country. Cotton raising is important in this section and this constitutes one of Sapulpa’s chief industries. Cotton compresses and gins furnish employment to many men. Taking it all in all, Sapulpa is one of the best towns in the state.

S. boy, “would you be glad if I saved you a dollar?” “Certainly, my son,” replied the father, delighted at this show of budding business, and handing the youth fifty cents. “Well I did,” said the boy, disappearing. “You said that if I brought a good report from my teacher that you would give me a dollar, but I didn’t.” Two boys, one the possessor of a permit, were fishing on a certain estate, when the game warden suddenly darted out of the bushes. The possessor of the permit dropped his rod and ran off at top speed. The game warden led a swift chase. Then, worn out, the boy halted. The man seized him by the arm and said, between pants: “Have you a permit to fish on this estate?” “Yes, to be sure,” returned the boy quietly. “You have? Then show it to me.” The boy drew the permit from his pocket. The man examined it and frowned in perplexity and anger. “Why did you run when you had a permit?” he wanted to know. “To let the other boy get away,” was the reply. “He didn’t have any.” Mrs. Brown: “We women have organized a society to reduce rents.” Mr. Brown: “Then you can begin on Ruby’s trousers.” i “Don’t you know where little boys go that don’t put Sunday money in the plate?” “Yes’m.

L. BAILEY, Proprietor South Water St. Phone 17 “THE STUDENT’S IDEAL SCHOOL.” The following necessities are those that are most urgently needed in Sapulpa High School: First of all, there must be no work, examinations, or otherwise. We should have a private set of rules and regulations—printed and posted on each desk. There should be a telephone, a dictionary, library, private lockers, dictagraph, bed, alarm clock, typewriter, and last but not least, a Ford—to use to take us to classes. All of these things should be individual property. For the school at large, we should have meals served at any time one became hungry, an hours sleep between classes. Necessities, like Cigar Stores, Confectionary and Drug Stores should be on hand at all times. There should be endless rounds of entertainment, such as Parties and “Hops” ad finitum (etc.) We should be allowed to come to school whenever we SAW FIT. (A Senior) Just look who’s here, slipping in quietly, Plainly abashed by such high society. Girls, still in “pig-tails”, boys still in knickers, Painfully blushing, while the school snickers. Every face powdered, or painted up fine, Girls using chalk; boys iodine. Class of ’20—what a joke. Laughed until I thought I’d croak. (B Freshman) Never mind the looks, ’20 has the stuff. Youth and ambition, that will be enough. THE NEW SUBTRACTION. Sudden life has seized the town. Turning figures upside down; Taking—our divorce courts do— One from one, and leaving two. Teacher: “W’hat three words do you use most often?” Precocious Senior: “I don’t know.” Teacher: “Correct.” Even our reserved Science teacher, Mr. White, believes in using slang. He told the Physics class that some people’s ears were keener than others. Miss Deal (in Senior English): “Mary, give an example of hyperbole.” Mary M.: “I can’t think of any.” Miss D.: “Mary, you are not thinking about it, your mind is fifty miles away.” Mary (quickly): “There, you gave an example of one.” Mr. Flack says so many clever things in class that the Freshmen become excited and laugh very heartily. He says they remind him of a zoo. (They have them in Pennsylvania).

EDITOR’S NOTE—The following gag is a direct steal from the ‘Redskin’, but it applies in one case, hence we use it: This space was meant for a joke on Mr. Cohagan, but one of the editors died of a convulsion of laughing over it, so we must not kill you all off—we have decided not to publish it. During reconstruction days of Virginia a negro was convicted of murder and sentenced to hang. On the morning of the execution he mounted the scaffold with reasonable Calmness. Just before the noose was placed around his neck, the sheriff asked him if he had anything to say. He studied a moment, and then said: “No, suh, boss, thankee, suh, ’ceptin’ dis’ is sho gwine to be a lesson to me.” Sapulpa High is full of willing people. Some are willing to work and all the others are willing to let them. What would you do if you: Saw Mr. Erdman dancing the Charlie Chaplain with Erma DeVillers? Saw Dewitt Ausmus in Sunday School? Heard Miss Wenrick cuss a blue streak? Saw Raymond, the picture editor, take a picture ? Heard that Mac and his girl had split up? Never got balled out by Flack? Saw Raymond with a stiff collar on? (Elliot) Never saw Miss Keiger and Mr. White together again? Saw Miss Shultz and Mr. Flack missing a picture show? Saw Adelbert Trotter “cleaning” Emmett Cooper? Saw Curtis Lance cutting up? Heard Fay Reece, above all others, at a football game? Heard that Marie Vaughn failed in every examination ? Heard that Marjorie had given up her music? Saw Elizabeth Gillett smoking a cigarette? Sigmund Katz paid his first visit to a dentist the other day, to have his eye drums worked on by a throat specialist. He was kept waiting for a while, while the doctor was cutting the tonsils out of a woman’s ear-ball. While there he noticed a sign reading thusly: “Notice! First visit $5.00; all after visits $2.50.” Sigmund in deep meditation. The doctor entered. Sigmund jumped up and rubbing his hands together, said: “Well! Well! Doc, you see I’m back again.” ’Twas a dark and stormy night, The sun was shining bright, His lips were sealed tight, Yet he cried with all his might: “Shoot and kill me if you must, But spare my life,” he cried. The villan shot him with a knife, And killed him till he died. A fair young maid came down the path. Her form was bent with years, Her eyes were full of laughter, And her cheeks were full of tears. She recognized the dying youth And cried aloud: “Who is he?” He lifted up his headless corpse And yelled: “Mein Gott, ’tis Lizzie!” —By Ima Nutt. “And did her father really insist that she take Domestic Science?” “Sew it seams.” Absence makes the heart grow fonder—for the other fellow.

(Editor’s Note—The author (of these (things) above) wishes to have his name concealed from the public.

CONUNDRUMS What’s the difference between Politicians and Doctors ? One skins by grafting; the other grafts by skinning. Who was the first woman? The Bible said Adam was the first made. Where was Solomon’s temple? On the side of his head. Why is a cat’s tail like a long rope? Because it is fur to the end. What is a zebra? A zebra is a mule’s brother, only he looks like a convict. “Mr. White,” said Phillip Case, “would you like a good receipt for catching rabbits?” “Why yes,” said Mr. White, “what is it?” “Well,” said Phillip, “you crouch dow'n behind a thick stone wall fence and make a noise like a turnip.” “That may be,” said Mr. White, “but a better way still is for you to go sit in a field of cabbage and look natural.” Some of the students want to know what is meant by Hoodalists. They can’t find it in the dictionary. Examination Question: Name two memorable dates in history. Boy-struck Freshie: Anthony’s with Cleopat- ra, and Napoleon’s with Josephine. WANTED—A new High School building by Sapulpa High School, Students, Faculty, and most everybody but a few' stingy taxpayers. Here’s hoping that the newly elected board wants one too. The Senior Class wishes to compliment the Junior Class on it’s powers of tenacity. Keep digging; you will give a Junior-Senior banquet yet. The Senior Class also wishes to state that it is not passing this laudable compliment entirely from selfish reasons. May Scott (eating lunch at noon): “What is worse than biting into an apple and finding a worm?” Beatrice: “Biting into an apple and finding half a worm.” EDITOR’S NOTE: [The jokes printed below were thrown into the waste-basket and were not fit to be in our Annual. Those of you who wrote these jokes below will please not be peeved because some of them were pretty fair, and it is only through lack of space in our Annual, The Sayanora, that forced us to fling them in the waste-basket. As I said, some of them were pretty good, but you see our Annual is only supposed to have two hundred pages and by the time we get everything else in we’ve got to cut down some on the jokes. The printer told us we were getting too many. While some, or in fact most of the humorous contributions were pretty fair, we were forced to throw' some in the waste-basket for lack of room. They are probably still lying there if Shorty, the Janitor, (and by the way he’s a pretty good Janitor, too,) hasn’t burned them up. You see, an Annual must have quite a few things in besides jokes, so this is probably one of the reasons why the editors didn’t accept your joke. In order that each and every one of you can see why his or she’s contributions is not in print, as I said before, we have printed all of these jokes that were thrown in the waste-basket, below. So if yours is there don’t get sore, for you know the reason why it isn’t in the Annual. Lack of room is the reason. What the editorial staff prides most in the student body contributions is clearness, preciseness, brevity, point, punch and lack of repetition. Avoid repeating, and above all things they should have unity, coherence, etc. The editorial staff never excepts no jokes w’hat aint got perfectly good language in it. Following are the jokes: (they are numbered, so in referring to your joke, call it by its right number.)] 1. Mother: “Son, could you read a note if I left it for you?” Sammy: “Sure, what ya going to do?” 2. Rollie’s and Aleen’s favorite song is, “My Bird of Paradise.” 3. Why pay more? Buy it from Flack. 4. Danie: “Well, Marian, how do you like Domestic Science?” Marian: “I don’t like it. Miss McCorkin-dale told me to sit down and wait for the present, and she never brought me the present.” 5. Youall better look out for Georgia, ’cause every time she goes to a ball game she gets weak in the ankles and falls down. 6. Will Jeff ever be as tall as Mutt is tall? The motto of S. H.

(Raymond Elliot, was not used to society manners. At Muskogee, when the waiter took his order for meat, she asked him this question: “Shall I bring you a half portion?” Looks of blandness on the President’s face. A nervy members of the squad hit him on the back and whispered: “That’s the way you order in these places, you boob!” Light begins to dawn and President finally managed to give the following order: “I’ll try one of those half portion’s and a quarter section of beef and a few acres of celery and that’s all.” Frisby Hancock, who served as an innocent bystander to an argument Friday, is reported to be getting along nicely. Mr. White (trying to strike a match): “That is funny, this match won’t light.” Howard (offering a suggestion): “It ought to. It lit a while ago.” A well-known student met a fellow student the other day in Herald Square. “Hello, Jack,” he said. “Anything to do this evening?” “Nothing special,” replied the other. “Well, let’s go up to the Harvey House and hear the Juniors and Seniors eat soup.” Bright Senior: “Doesn’t a motorman get a shock now and then?” Mr. White: “Oh, no. You see, he’s always a non-conductor.” Jim Farrel was sent the other day by Miss McCorkindale to buy some matches, and when she returned a little later to the store the grocer asked her if she had forgotten anything, and Jim replied: “You gave me two boxes of parlor matches.” “Well, isn’t that all right?” “No, sir. I’ve got to use them in the kitchen, so trade one for kitchen matches. Did you ever stop to consider how much you have to know in order to know how little you know? Bud Yocum says he is taking private dancing lessons with a couple of other girls. Marjorie Miller (translating German): “Oh, Walter, my dear child, he lives only for me.” WAIL OF THE FLUNKERS. Miss Green is my teacher, I shall not pass; she maketh me to explain hard examples, and ex-poseth my ignorance, yea, tho I study even until midnight, I shall not pass.

Miss Lucindy Conley is having a new dress made. She expects to have it ready for public inspection by next Sunday. Hiram Ausmus has been compelled to sleep with his feet out of the window because he had a fit of hard breathing. The local veterinary prescribed the cure. The map of Oklahoma and Texas has been stolen from the Limestone school house in the Wild Onion district. The sheriff is working on the case and he is confident that there is a foreign spy in our midst. Miss Fish Stallard was compelled, with a little resistance, to sing a song the other day. The audience as well as the radiators withstood the ordeal very well. The Depity Constable, John Cantrell, has got back from the pond, where he has been trying to locate the leader of the band of frogs that have been bothering the Wild Onion school teacher. Most of the unsuccessful men meet failure more than half-way. Dee Mose has been digging for fish worms this week at the back of his barn. He says that if the building was moved over he could find a lot more good ones. Some people don’t think honesty pays unless it pays them first. Raymond Cowman visited Miss Vera Perry Sunday afternoon and wrote a verse in her plush-back album, which she will preserve for coming generations, if she marries. Sigmund Katz, who has held the championship as sneezer for some time past, will now have to drop back to second place since Marie Vaughn sneezed in Chapel the other morning. The Thinking Cap seems to be too small for some heads. Bert Irvin, who has been absent for some time, has returned home and says that Sapulpa High is good enough for him and he expects to die there. Funeral arrangements have not yet been made. Raymond Elliot, who borrowed fifty cents from Ed McMannus several months ago, spoke to him yesterday. The man who had seen better days did not think so much of them at the time. The Depity Constable, Boozy Jones, is planning to make an important arrest as soon as he can find a suitable person. The optimist doesn’t have to die but once, but the pessimist is buried alive every day. Miss Elizabeth Conley of S. H. S. was a visitor here the past week. She would have stayed longer but her face powder run out. Powell Boyd, who believes that the greatest progress can be made by slow degrees, moved his chair over another inch while calling on Cleond Barnett the other night. Everybody knows just what a widow is going to do next, but no one can be sure just when. The horse doctor was summoned the other day to see Mr. Erdman, who was confined to his home after trying to change the mind of a calf about going through a lane. Raymond Cowman, the pharmacist, seeing in the Bugle that health was not good in this section, has laid in a large stock of medicine. Thelma: “I have been eating onions.

Mother (angrily): “Why didn’t you come when I called the first time?” Bob: “’Cause I didn’t hear you until the third time.” Mother: “How did you know that it was the third time unless you heard the other two?” Bob: “I knew that it was the third time ’cause you sounded so mad.” A SPORTING OFFER. “I want to help you,” said a benevolent man to Foxy, who had just asked him for a dime, “but if I give it to you I am afraid that you will not put it to a good use.” “Well,” replied Foxy, “that aint enough to do much harm with or much good either, so take a chance, Governor!” S.

I shall certainly be late for class if they don’t come soon.” THE DEAR THINGS This is the kind of stuff you hear from Parrel's front porch: “Why, George, how dare you? Now you can just go right home, and don’t you ever speak to me again.” George goes as far as the steps: “Let me come back, please, I’ll be good, honest I will.” “If you are going to be good, there isn’t any reason for coming back.” “Oh, you little angel.” “George, dear, I can’t breathe.” “Can you tell me why the states’ exhibits are all closed on Sunday?” “Yes, the states all belong to the Union.” Did Milford Reed what Eugene Redd? Burnett Jones missed school the other day for the first time since he has entered High School. It was reported that he had the smallpox. Someone else said he went to the “wet” state, to our northeast. He was either in ‘Misery’ or ‘Missouri.’ (Good joke—let’s all laugh). If Beatrice Boyd up a lighthouse, could Blanche Carey it? A Jew took his wife and baby to a show; they had front seats. The baby began to cry—an usher went to them and said, “You’ll have to keep the baby quiet. If it cries again you will have to go to the box office and get your money back and go out.” They sat there until the show was about over. The Jew said to his wife, “How do you like the show?” She said, “Not very well.” He said, “Stick a pin in the baby.” He: “Why, I thought Florence was studying to be a stenographer?” She: “She was, but she couldn’t learn typewriting. You see she used to be a servant girl and every time the bell rings she jumps up and goes to the door.” HEALTH HINTS I. Never contradict your wife. II.

Mr. Erdman (talking about fires): “Now in case a fire should break out in the High School, all keep your seats, you know, and get up quietly.” LOST—Lots of good sleep, cramming for examinations. Student: “I always tell my mother everything I know.” Teacher: “How delightfully quiet ycur home must be.” To kiss a lively Freshie is faith, To kiss a lovely Junior is hope; But to kiss one of our dear school marms, Is charity. Mr. Erdman (finding the product of 9x12 in Civics): “Let's see, nine times two is eighteen, nine times one is nine and one to carry makes ten, 108; yes that’s right, 108.” The High School Students are divided into four parts: 1. He who knows not and knows that he knows not; he is a fool; shun him.—A Freshman. 2. He who knows not and knows that he knows not; he is simple; teach him.—A Sophomore. 3. He who knows and knows not that the knows; he is asleep; awaken him.—A Junior. 4. He who knows and knows that he knows; he is wise; follow him.—A Senior.

That’s not much,” sneered her admirer. “I should scorn proficiency in an art in which every sneeze is my equal and every peeled onion my superior.” HOW IT APPEARED TO JOHNNY “Describe water, Johnny,” said the teacher. “Water,” explained Johnny, “is a white fluid that turns black when you put your hands in it.” “What are you sitting out there in the rain for, little boy?” “Oh! Pa and Ma are talking about a milliner’s bill, and I’m neutral.” Now I lay me down to rest, Thinking of tomorrows’ test. If I should die before I wake, I would not have the test to take. ENGLISLH AS SHE IS PARSED: I have a copper penny, And another copper penny, Well, then, I know I have two copper pence. I have a Cousin Jenny, And another Cousin Jenny, Well, pray then, do I have two Cousin Jence? Necessity is the mother of invention, and the story of the hungry Frenchman illustrates the old adage anew. He was in an English restaurant and wanted eggs for breakfast, but had forgotten the English word, so he got around the difficulty in the following way: “Vaiterre, vat is dat valking in the yard?” “A rooster, sir.” “Ah! And vat you call do rooster’s wife?” “The hen, sir.” “And vat you call de children of de rooster and his wife?” “Chickens, sir.” “But vat you call de chickens before they are chickens?” “Eggs, sir.” “Bring me two.” SHAKESPEARE IN S.

A five-dollar box of roses talks a heap louder than a 50-cent bunch of carnations.” During dinner one day the eight-year-old girl suddenly interrupted the conversation in this manner: “Dad, you and mother can’t guess what I've got under the table.” The parents, trying to please the child, guessed all sorts of things, but failed. So they said, “We give it up; tell us.” Whereupon the kiddie, drawing her face up in a grimace, replied, “ a stomach ache.” Full many a flower is bom to blush unseen, And waste it’s sweetness on the desert air. Full many a kiss is bom to pass between Two women, which some man might share. Helen R.: “If Miss Walters teaches music isn’t she a musician?” Helen Taylor: “Well, if Mr. White teaches Physics is he a physician?” Stranger: “What is your name?” James Rutherford: “Well, at home they call me “Razor Back” but my maiden name is James.” Fortune Teller: “You have a wonderful talent for painting.” Etta W.: “Oh, how can you tell?” Fortune Teller: “I see it on your face.” True love, expressed by Watson W. to his best girl: “Dearest, if I were you, I couldn’t live without me.” THINGS FOR WHICH WE GET THE MOST DEMERITS: Tardiness on Monday morning.

He thinks they’ll make it look so much more interesting, don’t you know'.” Cook (knocking in the morning): “Mister Bobbie, I’ve forgot whether ’twas five or six you wanted to be called to go on that fishing trip.” Bobbie: “What time is it now?” Cook: “’Tis six o’clock.” A son of Erin once described his first day’s shooting in the following w'ay: “The first bird I shot w’as a squirrel, and the first time I hit him I missed him altogether, and the next time I hit him I hit him in the same place. After that I took a stone and dropped him from the tree, and he fell into the water and was drowned, and that was the first bird I ever shot.” SHE KNEW HIM.

Suddenly a coin was heard to drop. An old man stooped and picked it up. “Has anyone lost a dollar?” he inquired anxiously.

Miss Wilson had had but two months actual experience as a Stenotypist and had received only six months instruction. By defeating sixteen well-trained shorthand students, she won a gold medal, and broke the standing record for the Association. Stenotypy offers wonderful opportunities to young men and women who are anxious to get good positions in business, Civil Service, and professional lines. Business men everywhere are demanding Stenotypists, because Stenotypy means greater efficiency—-it makes possible rapid dictation because the Stenotype writes words—often whole phrases—at a single stroke. It will be well for you to investigate Stenotypy. Find out about the positions waiting in business, and in Federal, State, and Municipal Civil Service.

Co., Portland, Oregon. Gentlemen: Yours of recent date received. The No. 20 Universal Saw Bench, the Board purchased of you for use in our Pre-Vocational Shop, is giving perfect satisfaction in every respect. The feature that attracted me most favorably was its solid construction. Most makers of Manual Training machines seem to have the idea that because a boy is going to operate it, the machine must be light. On the contrary, I find the more solid and substantial machine much safer and much more accurate. I have certainly worked our table to the limit on both extra heavy and extra light duty. The safety devices have been noticed very favorably by all who have seen it in operation. Mr. Hoff, our factory inspector, having sent men from other shops to see it. As a practical man, I highly recommend it to all Manual Training men who want a perfectly constructed machine absolutely safe and always ready for duty. Yours truly, E. J. BURROUGHS, Supervisor, Ockley Green School. We shall he glad to send you a copy of our Manual Training School Catalogue. NO. 20 UNIVERSAL SAW BENCH AM KRICAN WOOD WORKING M ACHIXERY CO.

And if you can find anybody with a few bucks to spare, just let me know will you?” “I sleep like a log.” “With a saw going through it.” Mother: “Didn’t I tell you never to play with that boy across the street?” Ruby Brown: “I don’t, mother; I asked him over on this side of the street.” Mother: “Howard, stpo using such dreadful language.” Howard: “Shakespeare uses them.” Mother: “Well don’t play with him; he’s no fit companion for you, anyway.” Earl (translating German): “Bitte, Herr Neck (bite her neck.” “I thought you told me you were going around to that china decorator’s to look for a job.” “I did, but there was a sign outside which read, ‘Firing Daily’.” A FEW.

But if, just after some chickens had perched on a roost and made it a roost, then the roost would be a perch and the perch would be a roost, and some of the chickens would be perchers and the others would be roosters, and—” A VERY SHORT STORY. On a dark and stormy night, a mysterious figure emerged from the darkness, creeping slowly, step by step, across the fields and then through the bushes, where it was hid from view. In a few moments it appeared again and made its way to the rear of a house not far away. It was again swallowed by the inky darkness. Then the hands of this figure began to finger the door of the house, finally succeeded in opening it, and passing in gently, closed the door. Intense silence reigned. The figure re-appeared a few' minutes later and slunk away into the woods. Next day George Washington Brown (colored) had chicken for dinner. CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SENIORS IN THEIR INITIALS.
