GREETING
It is with genuine pleasure that the Class of 191 3
presents this, their first and last volume of the Prairie
Dog. We do not claim that it stands out from those
that have preceded it as does a polished jewel from un-
cut gems. It is fitting that We take this occasion to thank
our many friends for their hearty co-operation, and We
have every reason to believe that this little compendium
will prove a pleasant memorial in after years.
ln humility and love We bow our adieu and Welcome
our successors with naught but good resolves and high
aspirations.

This building was erected in 1907 at the cost of approx-

the old lilobe llnilding, which is now the Globe llotel. On
account of the poor condition of this hnilding and increas-

great deal of this new building and its equipment, which is
among the best to be had in the line of primary apparatus
and equiplnent for domestic science and art anzl manual

SENIOR CLASS lllS'l'0liY.
On a September morning in 1009 about thirty boys and
girls assembled in the hallway of the lligh School build-
ing and began discussing things unknown to them-sueh
things as algebra, geometry. l.atin, physical geography and
rhetoric.
They were, according to the faculty, the greenest
buneh that entered into High School. Notwithstanding
this, several times the upper elassmen were eoinpelled to
admit that if the lfreshman elass was "green," it was
Hgrittyf'
Disappointment piled on disappointment as the class roll
began to decrease, but it was not altogether the fault of the
teachers, as the pupils were unable to grasp with the sub-
jects.
A blue-eyed girl and a young man wearing glasses
entered High Sehool the next fall and made good look-

CLASS PROPHECY.
THE SENIOR CLASS AND FACULTY IN 1930.
After many years of experience and display of talent,
we again meet the class of 1913 and Faculty in various
places. My friend and I were climbing the hills of fame
in Portland, Oregon, and all at once we spied a little cabin
which looked very interesting, so we proceeded our climb,
and we saw a couple of old people sitting by the fire, and
while Mr. McGinnis was grading some of those horrid
orations that he didn't finish in 1913, Mrs. McGinnis was
still grading Freshmen English papers.
Then as we crossed the Pacihc into China we saw a
little man moving slowly down the street and saw at a
glance it was our old friend, Mr. Matthews. XVe asked
him what he was doing and he said if he couldn't be co-
superintendent in Rooks county he would try to be where
no one knew him. ln Paris we attended a grand opera
and on our programs it said we would hear the grandest
singer in the world. As the curtain arose, lo! and behold,
there stood our dear friend, Miss Hansen, bowing and
smiling.
A lovely mansion stood a little distance from the hotel
and we thought it would be safe to see who lived there,
and as we entered the hall and looked into the dining room
we saw an old lady, formerly known as Miss Wfilliams,
sitting at the head of the table, explaining fully how her
children should act at the table and not to hnish eating until
she did. You D, girls know about this.
VVe then crossed the ocean again back to Lf. and
went to the plains of Nevada. There in a log house sat a
man with bowed head and we asked him what he was doing
and our friend, Frank Halderman, said he was waiting for
Yera to give him a date.
From there we went to New York and we saw our
friend, Fenton, still making the world's record as the
ten-second man, and he said it was better money than try-
ing to beat the Stocktons ten-second man's time. On the
outskirts of the city our "Know-lt-All XVhitney" had be-
come a successful farmer and was still following the cross.
Ermina was a professional teacher in the New York
High School and still says she will never marry.
W'e entered a swell house which was known as a rich
pharmacist's dwelling, and the door was opened by the
"butler," but we hardly recognized hini because his nose
had grown so long and he had such a deep bass voice, but
later we found out it was Paul jones. NYC went farther
into the room and there found Elsie acting the lady as this
pharmacist's wife.
We were walking down the street the next day and
ran across an old maidish-looking lady who was riding a
motorcycle. She turned her head, her face surrounded
with corkscrew curls, and we recognized our classmate,
lflorencc, giggling as usual.
Vfe traveled on to Chicago and in the park met Frank
Snyder and he said he was training animals to sing now,
as people were too easy for his ability. XYe passed farther
into the park, when all at once we stopped to listen, and
heard someone singing. XVe stood entranced, because it
was our friend, Myrtle, singing "Yankee Doodle."
Still farther on a stately ,gentleman was giviing a
speech and showed great oratorical powers, and when told
who he was we were somewhat surprised to hear the title,
Iidgar Ruhaak, attorney and counselor at law. He had be-
come famous and he said it was caused by the teaching
he had while a Senior in High School. This is all of our
class roll and I guess I will always keep my position
pianist in S. H. S.

The llelta l'hi Society, or the oclcls of the high school
roll, cleliveretl thc first program of the school year. .Ns
usual, the programs were eomposecl of essays, original

Many interesting things were presented hy those who
were interestecl in the society cause. but those who flicln't
try to improve lost the benefit of this helpful institution.
The requirement of each pupil is that he appear at least
once in three different roles. This rule was not ohserverl
hy a few, who consequently were suspenclerl from classes
till these hail been macle.
liarly in the year this society began to eclit a monthly
paper, "The Delta l'hi journal," which containetl news both

The main feature of the programs has heen the paper.
"The Omega Theta L'hronieles." which was published at

Is Education Worth While?
ln answer to the question some may ask as to what
is education, l should say that in its broadest sense it is the
development of man intellectually, industrially and morally.
Intellectual education is that obtained from books: in-
dustrial education is that obtained in the line of any work,
and moral education is the education which enables a man
to distinguish between right and wrong.
lf there is anyone so prejudiced against education as
to say that some of our greatest men have been uneducated,
let him follow me briefly in the life of Lincoln, who, they
say, was uneducated. lle never went to school a great
deal, it is true, but was he not educated? XYho has not
heard the story of the boy's lying on the floor working
problems in mathematics on a piece of wood with a charred
stick for a pencil and the tire-place for a light? A-Xnd who
hits not heard of his tramping miles upon miles in order to
gct a book to read? And did not his step-mother teach him
everything she knew? lt is one of I.incoln's great char-
acteristics that he was always trying to learn something
new and was always very earnest in his efforts to obtain
an education. A person who is always striving for an edu-
cation and is earnest in his efforts to secure it will always
succeed in obtaining one.
XYealth is the substance for which all the world is
striving today, and which it is necessary to have in order
to purchase food, clothing, and all the necessities of life.
Intellectual education is the best known aid today for
sccuring wcalth. A man today without an intellectual edu
cation is as a blind man wandering about a strange place,
as helpless as a child endeavoring to bear the heavy burden
ot' a grown man.
The man who is uneducated intellectually has become
reconciled to his poverty and is contented if he is not in
want today, and is never prepared for the morrow:
but a man who is educated is able to see the need of secur-
ing wealth and is foresigbted enough to prepare for the fu-
ture.
An educated man, when he sees people wearing away
their lives doing work that could be done much more quickly
and easily with machinery, will set himself to thinking how
it can be invented. He makes a study of it and hnally
makes the invention and has it patented. lle either sells
his patent outright or collects a royalty from all machines
made. llc draws great wealth from this, besides making
many peoples lives more easy.
2LITER TURE
Could Thomas A. Edison have invented the phono-
graph, the greatest of all inventions, if he had not de-
veloped his brain to the point which told him that the talk-
ing machine was a possible thing? He could not, as all will
agree with me.
llealth is a great factor in a person's happiness an'l
success in life. A man who has no education will toil
away day after day, often eating improper and an insuf-
ficient amount of food. As a result he is soon broken in
health, unable to do his work and requires the aid of a
physician, who administers drugs to build up his health
again. The man loses several weeks' work, besides paying
the physician for his services. Now a man who is educated
would see that something was wrong' and by his knowledge
of the laws of health would ind and remove the cause.
Thus he would be saved the time and expense that was
lost to the uneducated. The man who is unable to keep his
health will never be able to make a success of life.
lndustrial education is of the greatest benefit to man
in many ways. A man who has a great deal of pride. or
one who has been accustomed to leading a life of ease,
considers it a disgrace to his personal self when forced by
circumstances to do manual labor. lle is greatly handi-
crpped, because he doesn't know how to go about any work.
llad he been taught a trade, which he could take up as a
vocation, he would be interested in it and would not feel it
was against his dignity to do the work which he was skilled
in.
There is no call today for the uneducated man. The
.nan who has been industrially educated is the man who
bosses the job, while the uneducated man is forced to do
the drudgery work. lle is totally unprepared for the keen
competition that goes on in all lines of work all over the
world. An industrial education would prepare him for
this and make him more proficient in his vocation, for as a
man works along a certain line for any period of time he
naturally comes to know it better and is able to better it in
many ways.
Business colleges have been established in all the cities
of the United States, where a person may obtain an educa-
tion in any kind of work which he wishes to take up. for
a small amount of money. Thousands are taught here
every year.
lt makes no difference if a man is wealthy. he should
have an education along some line in order to be able to
make a living, for what man knows when misfortune is
going to sweep away all his wealth and possessions?
A moral education is the substance which gives a na-
tion its power, the source from which it draws its strength.
Consider for a moment what kind of a nation our own
United States would be if its people were entirely unedu-
cated morally. No one would feel under obligations to
others. Each one would be working for his own welfare
and would care nothing for those around him.
A lack of moral education is responsible for many of
the great crimes that are being committed tozlay. Wlould
liooth have shot down in cold blood Abraham Lincoln, the
best of presidents, if he had been educated morally? The
less crimes that are committed in a nation the stronger it
becomes. Therefore ainioral educating of its people is a
means of acquiring strength.
Therefore. since intellectual education would lead to
wealth, inventions and discoveries, and to health, industrial
education would teach men the dignity of labor and make
them ntore prchcient in tlieir vocations: and moral erluc?
tion would lead to wealth, inventions and discoveries, an

The Boy On the Farm.
The time comes to every boy when he should decide
that there is some great work for him to do, and that he
must make his mark in the world. The boys of poor par-
ents whose homes are on the farm feel that they do not
have the advantages that city boys do. They are liable to
overlook the many resources that are always at hand, regard-
less of location or circumstances.
One of the best opportunities for a boy on the farm
is self-instruction, the value of which cannot be overesti-
mated. The boy who, after a day's hard work in the field,
sacrifices pleasure and a reasonable amount of sleep for
study is almost sure to meet with success. lle is sowing

seed that will yield a bountiful harvest in some form in
his future life. lle is unlike many young men who attend
college simply because they want to have a good time, for
the knowledge thus aimlessly gained is easily forgotten.
The many correspondence schools bring practical edu-
cation on very reasonable terms to the door of those boys
living on the farm.
The world is waiting for these self-made men, and
fortunate indeed is the graduate of the Fireside University.
The boy living on the farm has an opportunity to lear11
one of the most essential lessons-and that is economy. The
calls upon the boy with money in the country are not great,
and so there is a good chance for him to learn to save his
money and not spend it foolishly.
No matter how discouraging the country boy finds his
conditions. he should not make the mistake of allowing his
ambition to relax or indifference take possession of him.
There are always those who laugh at quiet studiousf
ness, but the fable of the hare and the tortoise is a good
thought to remember, for many persistent plodders have
had their efforts crowned with victory.

"A COMMENTARY ON CICERO'S LIFE."
liefore entering into the plot of my story ,l should ex-
plain that Cicero was a crony of one of my associates, and
thus you can expect an exact account of the great' orator's
life. Cicero was a very brilliant boy whose parents were
of that wealthy class of Romans who boasted of patrician
ancestors. As it was related to me, Cicero graduated from
the Roman lligh School at the age of fifteen. He was
greatly enthused over athletics of all kinds. He was a mem-
ber of a baseball team and captain of the football team. It
is said that the baseball team in which he played was beaten
only once and the score was 15 to l. lt is not known

his brilliant success and brave
by many to deliver public ad-
one thing more than all others
take up this line of work. He
had a most hated enemy by the name of Cataline, and Cicero
thought that if he'd become a statesman he could influence
the people against this fellow. Cicero and Cataline had
l-'nown each other from boyhood and it was at this time that
the enmity was formed. Cataline was one of those boys
who didnt go to Sunday School and it was rumored that
he played marbles for keeps. Many a heated discussion
and Hstic encounters were experienced by these boys. And
rs they grew older the fire of anger kindled into a Fire of
hatred. So Cicero entered rpon his new task with de-
termination.
,-X rufnber of years passed before he became very pop-
ular with the Roman people, but finally won popularity by
his flowery spccchcs angl wonderfully graceful gestures.
TURE.
At this time Rome was the county seat of Italy and
Cicero became acquainted with many of the county officers
and he formed the intimate acquaintance of the county su-
perintendent, who was well versed upon all lines of history.
It had now been four years since he had l1C21ffl Of
Cataline, but one evening, while walking in the court yard,
he noticed a man being led toward the jail. The man
looked familiar to Cicero, and he decided to learn his name.
He walked up to the sheriff and asked the name of the
prisoner and the nature of the charge against him. He
found, to his surprise, that the prisoner was Cataline and
that he was charged for plotting against the Roman govern-
ment.
Here was Cicero's chance to get even with Catalinc. He
at once posted bills which stated that Cicero would deliver,
free of charge, public addresses for the benefit of Romans.
lle delivered these speeches to large crowds, two of
which were in the presence of the senate and two to the
These addresses consisted of testimonials and evidences
against Cataline and led to his immediate banislnnent.
After this, Cicero delivered many public speeches and
became very popular-so popular, in fact, that he was be-
headed for his success. '
Thus ended the life of that great man who has always
been so popular with the schools of the world.

dim, mysterious light was noticed in the basement of 1

strode toward the door, and how proud the ladies were of

There was found a table spread with a kingly feast. How
they feasted and drank, and how jolly they all were, and
how proud the ladies were of knights who could plan such

A SCHOOL BOY'S DREAM.
It was near the end of the term. The beginning Eng-
lish class was to have a test on Dickens' "Tale of Two
Cities' l was anxious to obtain a good grade, therefore
studied till late, retiring in a disturbed state of mind not
conducive to sound sleep.
As l lay thinking of what l had read there appeared
before 1ny eyes a graveyard. In one part was a man digging
with a spade. As a workman T would have criticized him
severely, for he seemed to lack concentration of mind and
continually gazed about him. He continued to dig, how-
ever. At last he seemed to have reached the object of his
search. llorror of horrors! My hair stood on end. A
cold sweat started. Chills ran up and down my back. In
his arms he held a cofhn. Yery excited, I began to wonder
at this strange sight. I asked myself what jerry could
mean by this and why he didn't let it rest instead of digging
it up.
I wondered if some of the obsequies common to such
occasions had been neglected. This was not probable. Be-
fore the day of moving picture funerals the funeral fur-
nislzeil a solemn sort of amusement and so was well attended.
lt is probable that some of America's best tragic actors
took their first lessons at funerals. The apparent sorrow

Suddenly I was in a bank. A man, whom T recognized
to be Mr. Lorry, was seated at his desk counting pounds,
guineas, crowns, etc.
Standing in one corner of the room T saw a personage
of royal appearance whom l recognized as the king. He
was bareheaded, which I thought was very strange. He

said he was walking down the street, when, as he was turn-
ing a corner, a sudden gust of wind blew his crown off and
carried it beneath the wheels of a cab and mashed it. Ile
didn't seem to care very much. He informed Mr. Lorry that
it was his old winter crown he was wearing till he could
pay for his wife's new Easter crown, but it was becoming
so unbecoming and out-of-Adate and the eariiaps made it so
uncomfortable in warm weather that he had almost decided
to buy another.
llc proved to be quite a fop in regard to crowns. Mr.
Lorry showed him crown after crown, till his patience was
sorely tried, but he worked on for the interest of Te1lson's.
lle showed him a crown whose appearance just suited him,
but when he tried it on, found it too large. Mr. Lorry sug-
gested putting paper under the sweatband, but the king
feared that mice might nest in it. lle said his wife had
tried it and a rat got in hers. .-Xfter a few more trials
he found a satisfactory oneg had his initials stamped in the
bandg told Mr. l.orry he would come around and settle
next pay day, and departed.
I was now carried in my dream to a wine shop in a
narrow, dirty street of a large city. Sitting behind the
bar was a very stout woman-about as stout as restaurant
butter which has become bald headed from old age and
bad breath. She was dressed just a little bit loud-just
loud enough to be heard a half block on a still night.
Making signs seemed to be her whole aim in life. She
signed to her husband, she signed to her friends, she signed
her names in her knitting: she also signed free passes to
Kingdom Come via the Grand Tumbril and a la Guillotine
Railway.
As she was thus engaged a woman with plumage of
a Rhode Island Red hen and whose complexion resembled

that of a thoroughbred Duroc jersey, entered. She looked
very peculiar and I recognized her as Miss l'ross.
Mrs. Defarge seemed to be trying to compel her to
do something which she did not wish to do. 1 could hear
Miss l'ross, an angry look upon her face, shout, "I'd like
to take you by the nape of the neck and throw you over
the back yard fence of life into eternity !" They rushed to-
gether. l heard a deafening crash as of a pistol shot.
just then I was awakened by the ringing of my alarm clock.

THE DEACON'S SECOND WIFE
From the title, some may have inferred that the deacon
was a lonely widower. who unexpectedly met a. lovely
maiden lady-school teacher, perhaps-or an heiress, whom
he loved and wedded: but this isn't so. The deacon was
ever true to his first and only love, to whom he was obedient
and respectful. The setting was on a New llampshire farm
which the deacon and "Malviny" wished to exchange for a
home in town "so Milton and Nancy would be closter to
sclioolf, y
Edgar Ruhaak acted the Deacon to everyone's delight,
his characteristics being his hearty laugh, pride in his two
children, and his inevitable. "Hy the jumpin' grasshoppers Y"

who arrived just as Melvina left. lncidentally she made up
to represent an old lady, which pleased the children im-
mensely, so when an auto party stopped to seek lodging,
they presented her as their mother. a plan which Kate and
the deacon entered into with delight.
Lee XYhitney acted the part of john Ilullock. a Kew
York broker. who considered that he knew everything.
Ida llansen, the teacher member of our class, imperson-
ated the fastidious Mrs. Il. llullock, who was anxious to
have her daughter marry.
Pearl Dryden played the part of Miss Dorothy llullock,

Frank Halderman in the role of Hartley Bullock ex-
hibited awkwardness in chopping wood and dramatic ability.
Fenton Baker was Ernest X'Vrench, the llullock chauf-
feur, and who liked "Aunt Kitty" as he would an adopted
grandmother.
lfaul jones had the role of 1'hilip Gamboge, the artist,
who followed the llullock family to the liitz home to find
Dorothy, his sweetheart, but he was introduced as the hired
hand, since Mr. llullock opposed their marriage.
It so happened that in the end Mr. liullock gave his
hearty consent to Dorothy's and l,hilip's marriage, and
that Mrs. llrown happened into tell "Malviny" about the
carryin's on, and that Ernest 1Vrench asked to marry Kate,
but the deacon said. "Not for a year or two yet. She's just
our little niece, Kitty."
This comedy was presented in the Stockton opera house
before a large audience March 15, 1913. lt was a success
hardly anticipated.
Miss Myrtle Stewart pleased the audience by piano
music and solo between acts.
The class wishes to again thank Miss 1Yilliams, our
teacher, who so diligently aided us in preparing our play,
for it was through her efforts, largely, that it was a suc-
cess.
Also we sincerely appreciate Miss 1'lansen's kindness
in devoting a part of her time to taking a role in the play.
Miss Edge and the male quartet deserve and receive
our hearty thanks for furnishing the special music.
And finally, we thank the friends who favored us by
their presence, thus repaying us for our efforts.

Athletics on the whole were not very successful this
year. llard luck faced nearly every attempt, although the
bovs on the different teams worked their best. Yerv little
support was given to them. The Stockton lligh School
had a tine chance to rank among the best in athletics in
Xtestern liansas. The material was here and with a little
boosting athletics would have been a complete success.
XYhat honors the different teams obtained were gained
through their own efforts and were not due to the help of
others. In all other towns where athletics have proven
successful there has been good financial support and at
least a spirit of interest. Our boys cannot play a return
game of any sort and meet one-half of the expenses.
Stockton needs a coach. The different teams greatly
missed the work of Xlr. liosrer this year. XYe hope in
the future Stockton may be able to support a good coach.
The season started with football, but owing to some mis-
understanding between the players and faculty, about liv-
ing up to the athletic rules, no more games were played.
This was a great disappointment to all concerned, as the
prospects were good for an excellent team. The basket ball
team organized. but could not obtain a suitable room for
playing, and so basket ball was dropped. The baseball team
organized and as yet have played but one game. Only a
small number came out to practice for the track team. So

for good, clean. successful athletics in the future.
THLETICS
On the 16th day of April the baseball team of the
Stockton lligh School went down to Usborne to play ball.
After much consideration they decided that it would be the
cheapest and most convenient to go on the train, as it would
take at least two autos to haul the team. XVe were all at
the train in due time VVednesday morning and ready to
start, but luck seemed to be against us. for Russell VVoodcn,
our shortstop, was taken with a cramp while on the way
to the train and was forced to return home when he reached
Bloomington. This slightly crippled the team, which was
none too strong at the best, as it caused a change in the
ineup. The second baseman, Frank llalderman, was shifted
to short, and Noyce, the left fielder. held flown Second:
while Paul jones. a substitute, playczl in iii: tiell.
Having arrived at Osborne, where we were met at
the train by two Osborne boys, we were at once taken to
the High School building. XYe then divided into groups
of two or three and started out to see the town and get
our dinner.
After dinner we spent the time. until the game was
called, in talking to some of the boys who stayed out
of schoolg and in playing catch to warm up.
The game was called at about three o'clock. Us-
borne took the held, allowing Stockton to use the stick
"a while' tfj. Our men simply fanned the air, making
the first half of the first inning a shut-out. Osborne
came to the bat and did the same thing, Osborne scored
twice in their half of the second, while our boys once more
contributed to the balmy breezes. Osborne's heavy hit-
ters connected up with the ball in their half of the third,
and then the merry-go-round started. Damon replaced
Coolbaugh, and somewhat stopped the Fireworks.
Several errors were made in this inning by the Stockton
boys, which made the boys 'lose confidence in them-
selves.
About this time a bunch of rooters arrived from
Stockton. This put new life into the boys, but it seemed
to be of no use, for Osborne would soak the ball and
lope around the diamond for a score, while some of the
Stockton boys were "playing marbles" with the ball out
on the diamond. The Osborne boys called it a track
meet, as it was a case of hit the ball and run with no
danger of being put out. About the seventh inning Fos-
ter of Stockton got a good hit when Noyce was on third,
and Noyce scored. This was Stockton's only tally. The
game of track meet was finally over and when all the
s.-ores were counted there was found to be a total of
sixteen scores. Of these Osborne possessed fifteen, and
Stockton one.
The Osborne school certainly had a loyal bunch of
rooters and they rooted for Usborne, too. They told
Damon that if he would fan a certain one of their bat-
ters, they would buy him some candy. This they were
forced to do, as Damon fanned him and six others. They
took up a collection and went down town and bought
same candy for him. and that was the joke for the rest
of the game. liaker, Halderman, and Smith did the
best batting for Stockton. Heiner, our catcher, played
part of the game with a linger out of place. which pre-
vented him from throwing to second base. jones made
a sensational play in left field. Ile fell down over a cob
while running after a ily and got up in time to catch the
ball before it hit the ground.
After the game we all went down town and ate
supper, after which part of the boys went to Downs on
the train. the rest staying in Osborne. as the attractions

there were stronger than at Downs.
After spending a very pleasant evening in Downs
and Osborne the team returned to Stockton onthe morn-
ing train, declaring one and all that they had had a
very pleasant time and hoped to meet Osborne again on
the diamond.

STATE MEET AT HAYS.
jupiter Pluvius hates a track meet. Of course he
does, or why else would the usually reserved and surly

driest state of Secretary XYilson's "semi-arid regionu?

team had absorbed enough
of old rl. l'luvius's lurking antipathy for games olympic,
and were determined to outwit him. Accordingly, they
packed their swimming suits, raincoats, rubber boots,
mudchains, oars and a sail or two in a trusty motor car
late on Thursday afternoon, and set forth in quest of
the golden pennantsthat awaits the victors at Hays.
XYell it was they did so, for bright and early Fri-
day morning threatening clouds announced the enemy's
approach.
Phoebus, the sun god. who delights in meets on
track and tield, fought valiantly to keep the enemy at
bay, and at noon had well-nigh conquered. The lligh
School heroes donned their track suits, girded their
blankets about them, and entered into the preliminary
fray.

Stockton, livery son of the H. S. made his place in
whatever struggle he entered till the patron gods of
the other schools grew jealousg and when Damon won
the pole vault final at ten feet, with a good six inches
to spare, l'hoebus himself listened to their ragings and
gave way to ,lupiter Pluvius.
And how he stormed and poured. Banners that at
morning Haunted brave and gay, now sadly drooped and
dripped, while High School colors ran faster than any
sprinter on the track. The High School heroes sulked
in their tents, or borrowed umbrellas and wasted their
substance in riotous "movies.,' But still it rained.
The athletes, dampened in raiment, though not in
spirit. sought repose to dream of meets where anchors
were thrown instead of hammers, all the hurdles were
masts and spars, and the racers had web feet, and still
it rained.
Morning dawned, and the rain rained on. The

homeward, with empty handsdand emptier pockets.
ljor, though they came to break records, when they left
'twas they themselves were "broke"
Yet, after all, in this queer old world, every loss
brings its own compensation, and seeming defeat may be
sometimes strangely like unto a victory. .Xnd, though
the track meet turned out a try-out. who shall say that
the goddess of the S. H. S. went down to defeat before
Ll. Vlnvius? Did not Damon and lialmer, her sons, qual-
ify for the 100 yardsg and Damon and Coolbaugh for
the 220? And did not Snyder and llalderman qualify for
the 220-yard hurdles, while Damon made a record by his
vault, and all the team on the home stretch made a
forty-mile record at swimming, rowing and towing
motor cars through water and mud which no future ages
can surpass? XX'hat glory could she ask more?
STATE MEET AT CONCORDIA.
On Friday evening. April 5. 1913, the track team
started on their way to Concordia to compete with many
other high schools of the state for qualilications at Klan-
hattan, entries winning first place being qualified for
"the Manhattan state meetf, The team stayed all night
at llowns and took the train Saturday morning at "four"
o'clock. They arrived at Concordia at ten o'clock that
morning. XYith the usual luck with which the track
team this year has met with, they found at Concordia.
l'riday night it had rained about two inches and the
gumbo soil made it seem like four. llowever, the meet
was pulled off. The track was mostly under water and
the long runs were awfully hard on the boys. Qur team
suited up about half past one and were taken to the Fair
Grounds in a hack. Stockton easily took off the meet,
although there were six other competing schools, and
every team had more entries than our boys. Damon
took first in the 100 yards, 50 yards, pole vault and broad
jump. Coolbaugh took lirst in the 220 yards and second
in the 100 yards, 50 yards. llalderman took first in the
220'-yard low hurdles and second in the high jump.
liaker took lirst in the high jump and third in the broad
jump, this making seven Hrsts, 'three seconds and one
third: a total of 45 points. lYashington took second in
the meet and they wanted a dual meet with Stockton.
The boys at this time have not decided to accept the
challenge. Our team was in hopes that an individual
cup would be given, as Damon had four lirsts to his
credit. But the cup was to the school winning most
points and this Stockton won.
The track team of 1913 started practice rather early,
but owing to the bad weather which prevailed through-
out the training season, the team did not get sufficient
practice. Not as large a number of boys turned out for
practice this year as usual. But, nevertheless, Stockton
lligh School boasted of one of the strongest teams she
had ever had. llamon, Halderman and Coolbaugh were
the old members retained, while Snyder, Balmer and
Baker were the new material developed. The following

FOOTBALL.
The football team of 1915 had hy far the best pros-
pects for a fast team of anything previous. They had
hopes of winning the championship for XYestern Kansas,
hut these hopes were fatally shattered hy the attitude
of the professor and the school board on the teamls re-
turn from the l'1ainville game. 1t must he admitted that
some things were rather mysterious concerning the
team's action on this occasion and the school hoard de-
creed that football must cease, which it did. Although
the team was rather handicapped hy the absence of their
coach, Mr. lfoster, whose services made previous teams
so exceptionally good. they did very well under the super-
vision of Captain Damon. During the three games.
which the team got to play, they showed that they had
the 'stuff' in them, and all they needed was a few more
games to bring out the kinks. The Senior class of 1913
takes out only one player, 1.ec lYhitney, but it
is hoped that his place will he filled hy some incoming
Freshman who will, of course, not he ahle to fill the
vacancy of left guard as efficientlyg hut the team of
1914 is sure to be one of the hest and we wish this the
hest of luck.
The first game of the season was played at Norton.
After a very tiresome ride to that city, Stockton was not
in very good shape for a game with such veterans as
the team of the Norton family high school contained, but
each man played the game and held them to a touch-
down and a kicked goal apiece, making the score 7 to 7.
The team came home in a drizzling snow and sleet. hut
with cheerful hearts over their so considered success.
The next game was played at home with Kirwin.
1t was not much of a game, only a good workout for
Stockton, the score being 34 to O.
The last game of the season was played at Plain-
ville. Mildly speaking, the game was Hrottenf, As
usual the two teams went in to "play to the death" and
hoth teams were very muchly knocked ont. A dispute
arose over a Ufakel' play, which was made by lflainville,
and after much wrangling the referee decided in favor of
Plainville, making the total score 10-7 in favor of Plain-
ville. .VX large Stockton crowd attended the game and
everyone declared that Stockton played a good, hard
game if their opponents did win hy a referee decision.
Summary: flames lost 13 l'lainville 10-7.
