The Class of '24 has chosen wisely in its decision to dedicate this volume of the Sunburst to its Alma Mater. With this tribute to the Washington High School goes the inference that the class of '24 solicits the best in achievement, prestige and power for develop- ment for the school from which it is graduating. lt is of vital importance to the graduates of anv insitiution of learning that the standards and ideals of the institution be kept on a high level. lt is equally important for the sake of the community that the schools maintain high standards of excellency. The present status of economic conditions throughout our country makes difficult this problem to continue the administration of our public schools on a plane commensurate to the needs of the children of our city. Under the pressure of these conditions we must discover the factors fundamentally requisite to the educational needs of our pupils. lt may become imperative to eliminate some of the less important activities but it is more imperative that we adhere tenaciously to the worth-while developments of the age. Each member of this year's class demands that the standards of scholar- ship in the Washington High School be carried on to succeeding classes. Schol- arship is fundamental in the field of educational endeavor. Many educators are sounding a note of warning to the effect that learning is falling from the high place that it once occupied. Mere graduation from an institution of learning signifies little unless the completion of a given course of study has given the individual power to think and to act. The instillation of this purpose into every pupil to achieve to greater mental development is the concern of all interested in the welfare of our on-coming generations. Let those in positions of authority attend to the provisions of equipment and teaching talent that the standards of scholarship may be maintained. Let the beneficiaries of the privileges, the pupils, attend seriously to the proper use of their opportunities. In group activities a factor, difficult to define, must manifest itself. Army Ofhcers call it morale, churchmen call it oneness in spirit: schoolmen, for the want of a better name, call it school spirit. Given the best ammunition, guns and means of protection, that science has devised, an army would never win a battle unless there was a oneness of spirit on the part of the battalion and a realization of this spirit on the part of each warrior in the fight. A high school or a school system must have faith in its accomplishments. Teacher, pupil, and parent must all participate in the manifestation of the achievements of the schools of our day. Pupils unconscientiously learn to know their fellow-being and to gain the Gne sense of proportion as to their place in organized society. Consequently activities demanding group action are necessary to attain the purpose of socializing the youth. Orchestras, athletic teams, choral and literary societies, and clubs apper- taining to the development of some particular study are encouraged for the reason that these activities awaken interest among the members of the club as a unit and in the school as a whole. The development of school spirit is the social essence upon which other fundamental requirements of the school system are built. It should be the hope of those delegated to the direction of the high school that student activity should be encouraged to the end that each and every pupil is proud of the fact that he participates as a member of Washington High School. We must have faith today in the public school as an agency for the prep- aration of the youth of our country to take their places in life after graduation. Let us trust that the quality of School Spirit developed and maintained in Washington High School is such that it produces faith in the cause of education and in the Washington High School as an agency for this purposef HARRY S.

These years have been filled with happiness and good comradeship, just HOW happy they have been, we are now beginning to realize as we prepare to leave our Alma Mater, some of us to take up our life work directly, and others to prepare for it in the higher training schools. It is natural that we should feel a sorrow at parting, and we dog yet we have the contentment and satisfaction of having well-completed a definite portion of our lives, and of having reached a certain milestone in our journey. With unlimited faith in our possibilities, we face the future, with no measure of fear, but with a keen anticipation of what is before us. It is right that we SHOULD feel so, for experience has, as yet, given us no reason to doubt our powers. We feel that with all our faults, we have SOME qualities worthy of imitation. ' With sixty-two members, we are the largest class yet graduated from Washington High School. We have talent of many sorts, among us, we have brains, wit, and good looks, and a spirit of loyalty to the school in our class that is seldom rivaled. Another good thing about us, is that the selfish clique, so common in the modern high school, is conspicuously absent from our midst. We pull together in all that we attempt, and petty jealousies and differences of opinion are swept aside by our devotion to our common purpose. We shall never forget the few happy years spent in Washington High, and we will try to keep the high ideals given us there, so that our school may always be proud of the Class of Twenty-Four.

May 20 May 2l May 22 'CHE SUNBURS T A High School Education With the mentioning of this subject, the question is brought to our minds just what a high school education consists of, what is its true worth to the graduate or of what use is it to him? The true purpose in establishing schools was to enable the young people of our land to obtain instruction in the various branches of learning, namely: science, mathematics, languages, literature, and history. The founders of our school sys- tem realized that our study of these branches would enable us to pursue our chosen line of life work, regardless of what it might be. Most high schools give in- struction in all of these various branches, so it is possible for a student to obtain any course he desires. While he is studying these branches he is not only learning the contents of the text books but he is being influenced in a number of other ways. It is left to the student to determine by what methods he is to learn his assignments. He can do the work himself or he can depend upon his companions to do the work, and then use their work for his grade. It can be seen that there are two distinct types of students, one who does his own work and the one who depends upon his companions for help. Each is forming character, but each is froming a distinctly different char- acter. The association of the students en- ables them to develop their character, because honesty - co-operation - hard work are the only methods by which we may be successful in whatever we attempt to do. It would be impossible for me to say that all of us have not done something which we regret in our four years of school. We all have our faults, but if we are big enough to see those faults, our characters are strengthened thereby. There is a certain world-known institu- tion that has for its motto Spirit, mind and body. We may use that as a motto for our school, only in a different arrange- ment: Mind, spirit and body. The school must first look after the mindg it must educate it, it must train it so as to enable it to function in the solving of the problems we must face after levaing high school. The public schools of today embrace all creeds and races, and it is the purpose of the schools not to infringe upon the rights of any of them, so we find that the schools have their chapel exercises where the Scriptures are read and songs in praise of the Creator are sung. This is the way the school develops the spiritual side of the students. Last, the school encourages the development of the body through its athletics. Unfortunately, all of the stu- dent body can not participate, and to rem- edy this, compulsory physical training has been introduced, to enable those not engaged in the athletic contest to keep physically fit. We can say, then, that the high school education of today consists of the train- ing of the mind, influencing and encour- aging the spiritual development, and third, the keeping of the body physically fit. After we leave these sacred halls of learn- ing we shall be called upon to do some of the things that have been done before, but we shall be expected to do them better than they have ever been done before, be- cause of this training that we have just receivde. 24 THE SUNBURST Lct us now consider the value of this training to the young man or woman who is about to take up varied duties. If his or her mind contains the .best that can be obtained in literature and history, he will be at ease with the most learned people, he will be able to discuss with them the world's treasured pieces of fact and imag- ination. If he has a good mathematical and scientlfic foundation he may solve, if ca1led.upon, the p-oblems that face the buslness world today. if his body is phys- ically fit there is no foal' that .13 if il not be able to stand the stxain and tension of the fast moving world. If his spiritual training has not been neglected there is no fear that he will not stand for the good, the true, the pare. Careful and thorough education of mind, soul and body joined to energy, pesseverance and enthusiasm are the only sure foundations for meeting the demands of present day life. It is not the mere facts of knowledge that are needed but the discipline and training of study, the inculcation of correct habits of thought, and the ability to seize upon the vital points of a subject, tha twin for their possessor place and power in the modern world of men and affairs. I have said that the graduate will be successful in Whatever he attempts to do if he has this sort of foundation, but what is success? Success is the attainment, or the state of attainment of high place and rich rewards. The only way such a posi- tion may be attained is by hard labor. Labor may be mental or it may be phys- ical, whatever it may be, it is hard, dili- gent and constant driving at the one end, that finally brings us to our desired goal- that of success. A few weeks ago the members of this class gave as their class play When the Clock Strikes Twelve. To me comes the thought along with th's, that some time in our lives the Clock of Time is going to Strike Twelve. Just where we may be, just what we may be, when the clock strikes, depends upon how we have taken this instructon we have just completed. If the mind is educated to the best that can be obtained, if the soul is in time with the eternal being, and if the body is in the best condition when the clock strikes, the person with these qualities will be ready to meet the call, whatever it may be. We may now sum up the points that have been considered a part of a hf gh school education. First it gives training in the fundamentals of P the varfoas branches of learning. Second it influ- ences the students spiritually. Third-it gives instruction on how to keep physically fit. All of this training helps us to be bet- ter prepraed to meet the call of the Clock, either to do work here or in the beyond, THE SUNBURS T The Biology Club HE purpose of a course in Biology in the High School is to first acquaint the student with the abundance of life which exists all about them and its characteristics and second to further their interest already aroused by the study of General Science and prepare them for the study of the more advanced sciences. There is an abundance of material existing outside of the school books with which the students should be acquainted, if for no other purpose than to foster a keen appreciation of out-door life. Biology deals almost entirely with nature. At the beginning of the school year the class spent a few days in making bug nets to be used in field trips. Field trips were conducted for the purpose of securing different biological specimens to be used later on for class work. Toward the latter part of the second semester a field trip was planned for the purpose of gathering and studying wild flowers. From time to time members of the class brought in rare specimens of wild flowers: The gathering of cocoons for the purpose of preserving some of the moths together with a detailed study of destructive insects, human anatomy has been the basis around which the course was constructed. - ' Keen interest was manifested in the work throughout the year and ter- minated in the organization of a Biology Club, whose membership consists of thirty-seven students. This organization is proud of its achievement and sets a high standard of class attendance and accomplishment for the class of next year. The Senior Chapel On Wednesday, May the seventh, the chapel hour was given into the charge of the Senior Class. It was the last chapel in Washington High School that the Seniors might attend as members of the student body. The Seniors marched down the stairs and into the auditorium, singing their stirring processional hymn, Lead On, O King Eternal. Each Senior wore shreds of the class colors, turquiose and honey, torn frc?m the class flag, which had been so triumphantly raised in secret the night be ore. The chapel program began with the reading of the scripture by Alberta Roby. The portion selected was job 28: I2-28, the chapter of wisdom. Three songs were then sung by the members of the Senior Class. The songs chosen were familiar numbers from the old book, which had been used for chapel until this year. Verna Williams then sang 'il'Il Forget You. The applause given her was proof of the appreciation of her audience, and she responded with Linger Awhileu as an encore. Reverend Alexander, the spez ker of the afternoon, then gave an excellent short talk upon friendship. He said in part, that friendships were the most important influence upon one's life, and that one should not slight any oppor- tunity to make a friendship. The quality and the quantity of a persons friendships determine to a large extent the character of the individual. After Mr. Alexanders talk, the Seniors sang another group of songs, Sailing, Out On the Deep, and Help lt On. The entire student body then joined in singing the High School song, We'll Honor Washington, and thus closed the impressive chapel service. 'CHE SUNBURS T The Senior Class History It does not take the pen of a seer to tell what this, the largest Senior Class of the Washington High School will do--for its future is strongly foreshadowed by its past, and now, it is my pleasant duty to relate that past, so that she who runs Cto prophecyj may read its future. About twelve years ago, yes, you who have helped us through all our trials and tribulations, over stormy waters, you who have been our constant guide and inspira- tion through all these years, you probably remember when we, the scattered forces of this illustrious class, stepped beyond the realms of our backyard and playhouse, into the world of school. Unconsciously, all these forces have gravitated to one center. Tonight we make our initial bow to you as one, for we are a strong, unified body, pos- sessing a love of loyalty for our Alma Mater. Let us forget the present, to go back through the long halls of memory, and once more mirror on its walls those golden pictures which we hold so dear. There were the Misses Bell, Channel and Kerrigan, and others, who in their calm, tender and patient ways presented to us, for the first time, the first glimmering no- tion of what school really means. Once tasting of the divine fruit, we thirsted for more, consequently, as We passed through the grades, we pursued our studies with intense eagerness. Those trials and triumps of our scat- tered forces were not few, it is true. but it was the advent into high school, in the fall of 1920, a hundred strong, that made us realize we were a real power in this world. We were leaving the grades so competently headed bv Mr. William McClain. When Mr. McClain left us, his place was filled by Mr. Harry S. Rees, whom we have learned to love and respect as much as we revered Mr. McClain. Finding Mr. Probasco and a whole corps of teachers ready to receive us, im- agine our feeling, when on that beautiful September day, we set our feet in the strange halls of higher leraning-but our hearts and souls were earnest, we had a strong and true purpose. Thus have we been able to win out. Immediately our Freshmen athletes stepped out on the football gridiron, and in the winter some of our girls made the basketball team, in which they have played the whole four years. By the end of our Freshman year, we had become very well acquainted with our teachers-nor were they wholly unac- quaintedxwith us-the duties we were ex- pected touperformg and the upper class- men. Especially well known to the Dale was the Flee, to Virginia, the Lamb Our Sophomore year was very eventful. Mr. Probasco left for higher fields of work and Mr. Thompson took the wheel. There he has been for the last three yeras, labor- ing steadily with us and for us. In these years of constant association with him, we have learned to appreciate his service, thus honoring and respecting him. It is with deepest regret we leave him and the mem- bers of the faculty, who likewise hold their places in our hearts. ' Our Sophomore Carnival was one of the best ever witnessed and it netted us a goodly sum, which we saved, adding to it, from year to year, until we have purchased our Senior Memorial, a Baby Grand Piano. We had some real talent for music in our class, besides the Glee Club, among which the Misses Williams, Limes, Ellies, Callendar and Baughn starred as soloists, while Miss Wolf and Mr. Flee played in the High School Orchestra. Miss Callne- dar, Miss Sodders, Warren Creamer and Raymond Flee have continued in this vital and important function of high school. Near the close of the Sophomore year one very dear member of our class left us. Lester Icenhower, whom we all loved as a classmate, entered into the realms of that unknown land. A great sorrow was cast over the class, which only time could soothe. Soon, three of the members of this noble class were fatally wounded by Cupidis arrows. Those who remain have not been hit yet, but the prospects, in some cases, look very favorable. Willard Mitchener, be-cause of his abil- ity, made the high school term in three years and graduated with the class of '23. Miss Norine Chaney also left us, enter- ing Miami University, but returns to re- ceive her diploma with the class. 'CHE SUNBURST 27 We had become fairly familiar with high school, when we took up the third lap of our journey and established oursleves in the assembly next to the Seniors. A Debate Team was organized consist- ing of five Seniors and three Juniors. It was coached by Mr. Walter Sittler, who likewise taught Public Speaking. This may account for the unusual brilliance with which many of our members express their views concerning various matters. By this time another class member had fallen prey to Cupid's darts. Some moved away, while others fell by the wayside. Seventy were left to continue the journey started three years before. Of these sixty- two sit before you tonight. Here let us bretahe freely, for we are at last the Seniors in the dear old W. H. S. There are three of our members on the Sunburst Staff. One is the editor-in-chief. Four of us sit in Student Council. Miss Virginia Ellies was the captain of the Girls' Basketball team this year while Harold Rodecker came to the front in Boys' Basketball. Forest Smith ably cap- tained the football team through a very successful season. During the Spring Vacation our class was greatly saddened by the death of Miss Minerva Stevenson, who, possessing a rare personality and charm, had won a place for herself in our hearts. In spirit she lives with us yet. She was an active mem- ber in the Glee Club. Our picnics and class activities have cemented the ties of a frendship which time cannot blot from the memories of a loyal and true class. Ours is a cooperative and coordinated class. It has true demo- cratic tendencies, and we feel certain that the proper attitude toward study has been manifested by the majority of the mem- bers. Not long ago, the Musical Concert. or May Festival, was given, with a consider- able number ofiSeniors participating in both Glee Club and Choral Society. It is a known fact that we are the largest, finest looking, brainiest and best class ever graduated. Our load character- istics are left for the faculty to decide. That we are the largest, everyone knowsg that we are the finest looking, well, looks speak for themselves. That we are the brainiest and best, may be proved. by an examination of our records, and if that doesn't satisfy, just ask the faculty, who have been heard to remark on the wonder- ful expansion of our heads within the past few months, especially since we've become the all-dignified Seniors. During these four years just past, so rich with varied experiences, our heads have been so filled with information, that the wonder is, they do not burst. Don't be afraid to ask us any question from Ancient Egyptian lore down to the present time, for we are yours to com- mand. As to American History, Civics, and the Constituton, we are your Solons, for we've had it from north, east, south, and west, but particularly - West. As for Latin, we are more modest, be- cause Caesar, with his many legions, con- quered the majority of the class, leaving but six Satellites to glory in his mother tongueg with the eloquence of a Cicero and the charm of a Vergil. We, who were overcome byCaesar, were Hook fedJ in by Spanish. but we found satisfaction and revel in El Placer De No Hacer Nada and Fortuna, Mathematics was completely mastered in our class, so completely, that its rough road has become a royal road and many, so eager to retravel it, have remained in the Geometry classes two or more years. The sciences--in Physics. the classes simply made Mr. Kay wonder, so much, indeed, he has ofttimes been heard to re- mark very lovely things in our behalf. We feel sure that he is extremely well pleased with his work in science and if he could possibly see reflected anything of fact. fable, or fancy, as the years roll on, that he has endeavored to teach us, his work shall not have been in vain. Our class is well supplied with women electricians, en- gineers, telegraphers, chemists. to sav nothing of the male experts, and the world need look no farther for masters, for the Edisons, Watts. Morses. and Grays will soon be supplanted-all because of our ex- cellent training under the calm and patient direction of Mr. Kay. English has taken a good part of four vears. and still there are oceans to learn. But its study has developed talent among us, of which we are justly proud. Not only are we conversant with Chaucer, but we feel a sadness because we mfust leave the society of Carlyle, whose essay still Burns within our minds. Our excellence is known not alone in the regular course, but we rank unexcelled in 28 THE SUNBURST the field of drama. Just remember the Gold Bug and When the Clock Strikes Twelve and my point will be proved. Among the finer arts most assiduously pursued by our boys is that of hair dress- ing. Stacomb seems to cool their heated brains, and also seems to have set the style for the handsome creatures of the under- graduate classes. We are not self centered in our inter- ests, and we hope to see the underclassmen excel in everything they undertkae. Boys, we'll be there on the field, rooting for you and dear old W. H. S., we'll be waving her banner of blue and white in the breeze, when proud victory crowns your efforts, for- We'll honor Washington, We'll honor Washington, While breezes blow, Or waters fiow, We'll honor Washington. Now, my dear friends, should you desire to hear more of us, give good heed and you'll soon be wondrous wise. We have an Alfred, not the Great, but the Handsome, who is thought the best looking of Washington High School. A Smity, who by his brawny muscle and nerve to face the world is considered the most representative of this high school. Besides, we have a Park, in which there is a single Violet.

'CHE SUNBURST 29 Senior Class Prophecy By Vo'nna Hicks Last night I had a drema in which I traveled in many lands. In my travels I encountered some of my classmates, living as they will live in the future. As soon as I awoke, I wrote down my vision, that I might be able to tell it to you. Janet Barger was the first old friend I met. She seemed very busy, and I was told that the poor girl's life was just a perpet- ual Rush. While I,was in New York, I saw three more of my classmates. I attended the theatre on Broadway where Katherine Barnes and Norine Chaney were chorus girls., The next day, as I passed along Fifth Avenue, I was attracted by a Frenchy-looking little style shop, wth the sign, The Madame Frances Shop, over the entrance. I went in, and a charmingly gowned young woman came forward to greet me. It was Frances Martin. From New York I took a steamer for France. On the way over I noticed a handsome couple strolling on the deck, one day. I was delightedhto recognize Gwen- dolyn Baughn, or Mrs. Felix Kathe, as I should say. I asked her about everyone back home, and she told me that her cousin Vivien was working on his father-in-1aw's farm, near Jeffersonville. Every evening of the trip the passen- gers were entertained by ,a concert given by Sousa's Band, which was going abroad for a season. One evening, much to my surprise, I noticed Warren Creamer and Harold Coil in the band. When we reached the other side, I went immediately to Paris. After my long jour- ney, I felt tired and rather in need of ri beauty treatment. I made an appointment with a famous beauty specialist, who had been recommneded to me. W he'i I entered her exclusive estatlishment I was told that Mademoiselle would be with me in a mo- ment. When she came to me, I lfnew he at once as Erneit'ne Thornton. She gave me a splendid massacre. and pruned my eyebrows, then she sent me to Monsieur Louis to have my hair shampooed and mar- celled. The much sought-after Monsieur Louis proved to be none other than Louis Quonn. ' While in Paris I met Harold Rodecker at an afternoon tea. A dashing young French woman whispered to me that he danced divinely, and that he might be traced anywhere by the trail of broken hearts he always left behind him. Surfeited with the life of Gay Pareef' I decided to visit the Mission colonies in South Africa. Here, among the snakes, savages and crocodiles, I found two de- voted missionaries, sacrificing all worldly pleasure to bring the gospel to the heathen. They were my old schoolmates-Wiimali Dale and Dorothy Jones. I was somewhat depressed after leaving these two in the jungles, and I determined to sail for home. As soon as I reached America again, I boarded the train for Washington, D. C. Here I visited the halls of Congress. There I found Raymond Flee occupying an important legislative posi- tion. He was acting as the Honorable Custodian of the Cuspidor. While in Washington, I learned that the Supreme Court was Working on a decision. I went to see this important body, and I found that Duane Neale was the Chief Justice. I was almost overcome by his dignity, but he was quite sociable, and told me that our old classmate, Donald Dray, was the pres- ent Secretary of Agriculture. While in Washington, I also learned that the How- ard University of that city had Paul Har- ris as one of its athletic coaches. The afternoon .before I left Washington, I went to a little social function given in honor of Percival De Vere, a celebrated matinee idol. The women flocked about this popular man, until I thought I'd never even get a glimpse of him. but when T did. I was horrified to find that Percy De 'Vere was Caryl Williams. The next day I left Washington, D. C., for Washington C. H. I had to change trains in Columbus, and when I entered the Union Depot, whom did I behold lrit Daniel Stuckey, who was the train caller there ' I was glad to reach Washington C. H. again. I decided to get a car of some kind. so that I might drive around to see my friends. I accordingly went un to the ga - 30 'CHE SUNBURST age of which Pauline Coil was manager, and asked for a demonstration of some car. Pauline, who seemed to be a very efiicient business woman, said that the Haynes CHainesJ was her specialty and that she would be glad to take me a ride the next day. The next day happened to be Sun- day, so we drove out the Leesburg Pike and stopped at the Methodist Church in Sitaunton to attend the services. The Rev- erend Estel Boyer preached a splendid ser- mon. I asked about Helen Byoer, and was told that she was making a name for her- self as a teacher of mathematics at the Ohio State University. Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Deheartf nee Ethel M. Sheridanj and Mr. and Mrs. Russell Rine Cnee Hilda Coilj were also at church, and after the service we enjoyed talking over our school days together. I was told that Florence Haines had been a stenog- rapher, but that her thoughts became so wound up in a Coil that she had stop her work and got married in order to relieve her feelings. Ethel A. Sheridan had also been a stenographer, they said, but she had married her handsome employer. By this time the desire to travel came upon me again. On the way to Cincinnati I stopped for a day in Wilmington. Here I found Amy Roush and her husband liv- ing. She told me that she had caught him at Wilmington Summer School, 'way back in the summer of 1924. I asked her about Mary, and I was told that she was in Holywood, acting for a famous movie cor- porationg that her salary was fifty thou- sand dollars a week, and that she had been thrice married and twice divorced. When I arrived at Cincinnati, I found Celora Overstake seated in the depot. She said that she was on her way to Kalama- zoo, Michigan. to open the Overstake School for Girls. She said that Virginia Ellies was to teach English in this school, and that Evelyn Sodders was to teach French. It was easy for me to see that the experience Evelyn and Virginia had had with English and French would make them well qualTfied to teach these impor- tant subjects. While in Cincinnati, I found Matilda Stevenson and Verna Williams both in- tensely interested in nature study. Verna seemed to get great pleasure from study- ing a brook fBruchl. But Matilda seemed to prefer a forest CForrestJ. n From Cincinnati I went to the Ozark Mountains. Here I found Forrest Smith, making a fortune from his berry patch. He told me that berries had always been his hobby, especially Crisenberries. I had not been long in the Ozarks, when Alberta Roby came to the little hotel in which I was staying. She had come to write an- other of her best sellers, and she said that the mountains always helped her work. She told me that Violet Park was now Mrs. Fred Merritt, that Mildred Fisher and Bernard Orr were married, and that Alfred Hagler and Ollie Rogers had been married on the stage so often that it had become rather habitual, and they had decided to try it in real life, and that Alfred was posing for Arrow Collar Ads for a living. One day as I was wandering arofund in the mountains, I came to the dearest little house. It looked just like a bird-house, and sure enough it was, for a Jay lived there. Berdina Crisenberry came to the door, and she told me that she had always considered a bird in the hand worth two in the bush, so she had caged her Jay- bird soon after she had finished High School. I asked her about Evelyn Hyer. and she said that Evelyn had a splendid position in a jewelry store, which special- ized in Big Bens. On my way back East, I met Clara Belle Terry on the train. I learned that she was traveling around giving lectures and recit- ing Pazul Lawrence Dunbar's poems. She had a copy of a Kentucky newspaper with her, and the headlines announced in bold type that Kenneth Sollars, the famous racehorse man, was winning all the races in Kentucky with his celebrated horse, Sparks, so named in honor of Miss Mar- jorie Sparks. On my way back to Washington Court House I stopped in Mt. Sterling. I went out to see Jennie Callender, while I was there, and she told me that she was living like a queen, since she had married a King. When I got back to Washington I went to visit the school. In the grades, I found Lida Grace Wissler and Geraldine Craig. teaching. Lida Grace was Miss Bell's successor in the Kindergarten. but Geral- dine was tecahing in the Eighth Grade. She said she always had felt a tenderness toward Eighth Grade students, especially the boys. 'CHE SUNBURST 31 In the High School I found 'Clara Davis following in the footsteps of her idolizei Miss Jester, by teaching Shorthand and Typing. She told me that Thelma Luader- bach preferred to teach in the public schools of her favorite town, Circleville, Ohio. I asked about Thelma Davis, and I found that she was living in Xenia in a brick house, so I concluded that a Mason must have had something to do with it. While I was visiting the High School they had a pep meeting. The girls' coach led the yells, and my, how she could yell!! lt was Hazel Eckle. I asked her later about Elwood Engle, and she told me that she was afriad that poor Elwood would die an old bachelor, because it was impos- sible for him to stay in love with one girl long enough to save up the money for the necessary marriage license. She also told me that Donald Jones was under the care of a Dean fDeenJ of Meng and that Mar- jorie Hayward was living up'in Conneaut, Ohio, where she was known as Mrs. A. L. Merritt. While I was in Washington C. H., I found that Eugene Wilson was quite active in local politics, and that for several years he had filled the extremely responsible and lucrative position of dog-catcher. Alva Wilson, I learned, was capably filling his role of custard pie slinger in the movies. One day I went to the country and passed Wilby McCoy's up-to-date farm. Wilby was out in the field driving his trac- tor, but from his rate of speed, I first thought that he was De Palma driving his racing car. The next day I went up town to a bar- ber shop to have my hair cut, and I found that Preston Dray was the Proprietor of this handsome tonsorial parlor. While he cut my hair, he told me that Opher Love- less had just taken his Master's degree from Columbia University. One morning a very business-like sales- man came to my door. It was Edward McRoan, who had become quite popular as a Fuller Brush agent. After his eloquence had persuaded me that I needed one of his brushes, he told me that Gwendolyn Wolfe was starring in the play St. Elmo, and that Nelle Mark was living in the House that Jack Built. Just then I had the sensation of some- thing cold being dashed upon me. I awoke, and my vision departed. My mother was throwing ice water on me, in order to waken me in time for breakfast. 32 'CHE SUNBURST Will and Testament of the Class of '24 We, the members of the Class of 1924, having reached the end of our scholastic career, and though somewhat fatigued by incsesant mental toil, but still of sound mind, memory and understanding, do make and publish this our last Will and Testa- ment, herbey revoking and making void all former wills by us at anv time hereto- fore made.

' -VIRGINIA ELLIICS. THE SUNBURS T i if Senior Memorial Never has a Senior Class left a more splendid memorial than has the class of 'Z4. In giving a Steinway Baby Grand Piano to Washington High School this class has placed itself in a never-to-be-forgotten position. It has taken hard work, much time, and no little worry for the class to earn enough money to give this piano in four years time. But they have all worked earnestly and willingly. They have certainly proved that they appreciate their school. Let us all thank the students of this class, and make it our chief endeavor to leave something as worth while to our school as they have left. The Senior Roast Forgetting the dignity of their exalted rank, a good representation of the Senior Class opened their Social Activities with a roast given on the Hall farm near Sugar Grove Church. The evening was ideal for the occasion. After supper we sat about the camp fire and told stories, sang, and at the suggestion of the Class President we dedicated the camp fire to good times, and the memory of our associations as a class. After the pleasure afforded by this roast every one left with anticipation for the next social activity, which will be the Senior Picnic, May 16. A H V 'CHE SUNBURST Juniors Perhaps we may not be thought too conceited, when we say the Llunior Class of 24 to be far superior to the other classes. just look at all ol our fine qualities and then tell us we are not the very best. We began our Freshman year, with a number out for the Football Team, Basketball Teams, Orchestra, Clee Club and many other activities too numer- ous to mention. We know that without our talent, the school would be in a sad plight. As Sophomores we participated in many more events. Our Sophmore Carnival, probably our greatest undertaking, could not have been any more of a success. Our class was outstanding in the operettas, Cherry Blossom and The Gypsy Rover. While juniors we gave, Daddy-Long-Legs, one of the best plays ever given. Every part was taken by juniors. You will notice, that this year, we have been much more useful in athletics and music. A number of us were out-standing in the Sophomore Carnival of 'Z-l. Now who can say, that we do not have talent, and are not needed in this school? We realize, much to our regret, that we have only onemore year in Wash- ington High. This class is one of the largest classes in the history of the school, and we hope, that it will be just as large for graduation next year. As Seniors we wish to keep the reputation we have had up to this time, and we hope that the Class of '25 will be greatly missed, when we leave this school.

There are about one hundred voices in the chorus. For several months the Choral Society has been practicing a Cantata, The Wreck of the l-lesperusn arranged by Thomas Anderton. The presentation of this Cantata has been postponed because of other events. Now the date is really set for May 2. Washington High has never failed in anything she has under- taken, and, with the support of the student body, she will 'not fail in this. Besides practicing for this Cantata the Choral Society has spent some time in practicing the songs that are used in chapel. This has helped the singing to some extent. Then, too, there is the fellowship. There is always a benefit to be derived from any organization in that way. Even though the society has not accomplished so much as it might have done, they do not feel that the year has been spent in vain. Next year the Choral Society will be a finer and better organization because of this year's efforts. SOPHOMORE 'CHE S UNBURS T Sophomo res We, the Sophomores of Washington High School are c s. c . . 7777. Now, we suppose you think we are going to tell you what a wonderful class we are and how hard we study and etc. But we are only going to mention a few activities that we have been actively engaged in and then let you form your own opinions as to the quality of the present Sophomore Class. Now, just as soon as a student of Washington High School hears the name Sophomore mentioned, he forms a mental picture of the annual Sophomore Carnival. This year we were unususlly auccessful in our efforts along this line. Our main features were the big minstrel and the Arabian Coffee Rooms, Then, as usual, there was our Gym Filled to overnowing with the real carnival. Next on the list, we come to the athleticsg such asfefootball, basketball, track and the like, What would they all do without us Sophomores? ls it not true that we hold some of the most responsible positions on each of those teams mentioned. :You are all supposed to answer Yes to both of those question. Now dont you all agree we do much toward producing winning teams? Then there is our High School Orchestra under the competent direction ol' Mr. Kay. lt, also, is about half made up of Sophomores, Dont forget that. You all know what music the Orchestra as a whole produces, so you can guess that the Sophomores have much talent in mucisal lines. We, also, form a large part of the Glee Club and Choral Society. You are, now, probably wondering if we ever do any studying in school. We think we are safe in saying that our class ranks high in scholarship. With these merits backing us, we are all looking forward to the year when we shall take the place of the present Senior Class and be striving to be a class that Washington High School will be proud to have graduated.

H. S. It is true, our school is a splendid one, of which we are all more than proud, but there are things which even W. H. S. needs. Among these we find that one of the most important is a good library. The present library is small and though the collection of books is of the best it is not large enough to accommodatea school the size of Washington High. The members of the Sophomore Class are hoping that by the time they leave Washington H. S. in '26 they may have equipped it with a library which it deserves, or at least they may have helped in doing this. We are sure that this is not a vain hope, for already they are beginning the work. Of course, this class cannot obtain the library without the co-operation of its fellow classes. We have always had perfect teamwork among our classes and we cannot fail in this. Let us, therefore, make it our duty to do all that we can toward improving our library, and in doing this we will greatly improve our school, l Sophomore Carnival With each succeeding year, the Sophomore Carnival is an improvement over previous years and the one sponsored by the Sophomore Class of '24 was no exception. An entirely new idea was introduced in the Arabian tea rooms. The girls wore real Arabian costumes which further carried out the effectiveness of the tea room. Miss Weaver was responsible for the delicious delicacies served. The minstrel, which was the main attraction of the evening, was also a clever idea and was well presented. Mr. Thompson competently Filled the position of interlocutor. The end men were very amusing, four of whom represented the different classes. Norman Price represented the childish Freshmen with a freak costume and a little red wagon, Ralph Lloyd represent- ing the Sophomores, was a regular sheik. jack Persinger, in football togs, represented the juniors, and Duane Neal, in the raiment befitting a Senior, was a symbol of his class. A very pretty solo dance given by Miss Virginia Garret was an added feature. The High School orchestra played before and after the shows. Miss Virginia Hays was the solo accompanist. Mr. Ura Saunders was responsible for the success of the minstrel by donating his valuable services. Perhaps upper classmen would refuse to admit that this carnival surpassed the carnival they sponsored, but they must admit that it was as good.

In football several members of the class proved that next year they will be quite capable of holding positions on the team. Basketball season brought Eugene McLean and William Ireland close to the honor of winning their initial letter. Annabel Nelson played a splendid game of Basketball throughout the season and quite deserved the letter she received at the close of winter athletics. Freshmen also played a major part in the Washington High School Musical representation:flilizabeth Burnett, Henry Hoppess, Elizabeth Alexander, Marlin lVlcElwaine, Ruth Kay, Georgia Prugh Chapman, Roland Hall and Dorothy Sparks. There are others who should be mentioned: they consist of the great number of hard-working students who filled the Freshmen Class rooms to overflowing. Naturally, with the observance of such visible data we firmly believe that the Freshmen Class of l923-24 has smoothly hnished an unblemished career in every High School duty and activity.

G00d-bye! called out Jean. I'll write to all of you. As Jean Clark stood on the steps waving to the group, she saww one face with a very unhappy ex- pression upon it. It was the face of her churn and comapanion, Jack Wooster. Jean and Jack had lived in Marshalltown all their lives. They had played together, gone to parties, picnics, and other amusements together, gone through high school and three years of college together, and now-now! Jean was leaving for the first time in her life to visit her grand-parents in San An- gelo, Texas. And she was going to stay all. surn- mer, during her three months of vacation before she resumed her last year of college duties. Three whole months! Jack had pleaded with Jean not to go to Texas. They had planned so many nice amusements for their vacation together. But Jean, although she dreaded leaving Jack, had promised her grand- parents she would visit them this summer, and she was keeping her word. At the end of three days, Jean reached her destination, and was soon settled in the spacious house of her grand-parents. And what a lovely time she was having, so much better than what she thought she would have! She went with Mrs. Clark every place-to call, to shop, to the theater, and to church. She assisted her grand-mother in entertaining the Ladies' Aid Society, the Women's Foreign Missionary and numerous other societies and clubs. But for all the activi- ties, if it hadn't been for Jack's daily letters, Jean would have been dreadfully lonesome. ' One evening when Mr. and Mrs. Clark and Jean were assembled on the side porch to read and chat, Mr. Clark announced that he had some news for the other members of the party. What is it? inquired Jean interestedly. Well, today I received a letter from an old friend of mine, Richard Martin, he wants to send his son, Percival, out here for a rest. The fellow has just graduated from college and is on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Since we had always been great chums. Dick took the liberty to ask me to let his son be our boarder for the next tlwo months. ' Good heavens! ejaculated Jean. Are you going to let him come? Yes, indeed,'l answered Mr. Clark. Why shouldn't I? I always did dislike the name of 'Percival,' but I never thought I would have to live under the same roof with a 'Percy', remarked Jean. Per- cival, fnfleed! I guess I'll retire. Good night, folks! See you in the morning. Good night! called her grand-parents . Jean went to her room where she laughed about Percival Martin. She could picture to herself what Percy would look like-a tall, sissy, coun- try-lied dude. The more she thought about him., the harder she laughed. But in fifteen minutes she had her head buried in the -bed clothes. She was crying. She was getting very lonesome for Jack. If only it were he, instead of Percival Martin that was corn ng, how happy she would bo! And it was two whole months yet, before she would see Jack, and only three days until Percy would be settled in her grand-parents' house. Before she had undressed to go to bed, Jean had almost made up her .mind to tell her grandmother she was going home. But when morning came, she was ashamed of herself for allowing her thoughts to dwell on home-sickness, that she refrained from speaking to grandmother about hontc. The next few days were busily spent in pre- paring for Percival's arrival in San Angelo. When at last the day came, Jean felt as if she would die of fright! Why dfd she dread to meet Mr. Percival Martin? At four o'clock in the afternoon Mr. Clark went to the station to meet Percival. In hfteen minutes Messrs. Clark and Martin were entering the Clark's house. Jean was in the flower-garden in the side yard .gathering roses. She had not seen the newcomer enter the house, so she was very much frightened when a voice, apparently right behind her, said, Jean! When Jean turned to face the person who had spoken to her she saw -no, not Percival Martfn, but-Jack Wooster! Before she could utter one word, Jack had her in his arms, kissing her hair, her cheeks her lips. Neither Jack nor Jean knew how long they re- mained in the garden-that was a mere trifie com- pared to each other's fond embrace. A few minutes later when Jean and Jack as- cended the steps to the side porch, they found Mr. and Mrs. Clark laughing softly to themselves. Jean went up to her grandfather and put her arm around him. You knew all the time that it wasn't Percival Martin who was coming, -but Jack, dfdn't you? Now 'fess up Grand-daddy dear, said Jean. 'fYes, I knew, Jean, but it 'wasn't my scheme, replied Mr. Clark.

Endeavoring to place our High School on the plane with the best organized schools of Ohio, an intensive study was made of the accounting systems of three of the largest schools in the United States. These schools, that more or less furnished us with the framework for the system which we now have in operation in our High School, stand foremost in all progressive school policies. The beginning of the school year of 1923-1924 found us ready to cons'der what we now are pleased to call or name the Treasury Department of the Washington High School. After carefully discussing the idea with vari- ous faculty ntenebers a plan was adopted. To the Bookkeeping Department goes a great deal of the credit for having offered valuable suggestions as to the various books to be used and frequency of auditing, as well as a competent person to assume the responsibility. The system in detail consists of a Cash Book, a Journal and a Check Book. In the Cash Book all entrfes are made showing both the receipts and payments made during the year. In the Journal each separate account is recorded in- dicating the sperate balance of each account. All invoices are sent into the office to be ap- proved by the principal before any checks are written. The bank requires two signatures on each check before they accept it, that of the prin- cipal and treasurer. There are two files kept, one for invoices paid and the other for fnvoices un- paid. Neatness and accuracy are the two outstand- ing Qualities that make for su-ccess this work. The success of the system is due entirely to 'the ability of Hilda Lee Coil. Her knowledge of Bookkeeping gained from the Commercial De- partment eminently qualified her for this task. Manual Training This year manual training was introduced as a ne-w feature in the high school, and has met with the ready approval of the students. This is under the capable direction of Mr. Gail Vannorsdal. This course consists of instruction in Elemen- tary Drawing. During their course of instruction the students have been taught to make many use- ful articles, such as footstools, floor lamps, porch swings, flower pedestals, candle holders and other small artfcles. It has 'proved itself to be an interesting as well as a beneficial course and in future years we be- lieve that it will become an established part of our school, and we prophesy an extensive development in this department. ' Art Exhibit R For a number of years Washington High School has sponsored an Art Exhibit. This exhfbit has come to be an event of each school year and is eagerly looked forward to. The pictures which constituted this exhibit were copies of two hundred of the world's masterpieces. The opportunity to study the best art should be :appreciated by every student and year after year there has been an increasing interest. A knowl- edge of art is essential to one's education. A study of art is a pleasure as well as a benefit and every one should take advantage of this partic- ularly fortunate opportunity to observe and study it. 52 'CHE SUNBURST A Scout is Helpful Stan Smith's 'proposal' to Mr. Jamison, the Scout-master, that the Scouts spend the three weeks that school was to be closed down at his f'ather's hzmtfng-lodge met with hearty approval. As Stan had already talked to the other Scouts, the proposal was adopted. Preparations were made with unusual rapidity, as time was short. As soon a.s permission to go had been ofbtained, the Scouts speedily put to- gether their packs, and inside of a week they were firmly installed in Moose Lodge. It had been snowing the afternoon they left and had continued for three days and nightsg but on the morning of the fourth day, the snow-storm had stopped. - It was a beautiful morning. From a cloudless sky the sun shone dovsn on a field of level white, except where the snow had piled in innumerable drifts around the trees in the forest. Altogether, a king could not have complained of the weather. With shouts of delight, the boys rushed out onto the lake in front of the lodge. Stan and Lon Win- ters raced from one end of the lake to the other. and thus far, Stan had been in the lead. He won out by about four feet. As he turned to go back, he stolpped short. From out of the nearby forest a feeble cry for help had come to h's ears. Stopping Lon. he turned and waited for the unknown to shout again, so as to get his direction. Again he heard the cry and, followed by Lon, he set off in search of the source of it. After a few minutes' search, he came upon the origin of the cries. A fifteen-year-old boy was lying face down in the snow. Seemingly, he had collapsed after calling the two boys to the rescue :'n:l now seemed to be in the last stages of exhaus- tion. Having made a rude stretcher out of their coats and two poles, Lon and Stan carrfed the boy to the lodge. An examination showed that the boy's face was frozen and, in addition, he was suffering from exposure. Mr. Jamison could avert any immedi- ate danger, but someone would have to go for a doctor in order to save the 'boy's life. Having been chosen for this position, Stan started out. By the main road, it was eight miles to the city, but Stan knew of an unused log-road whereby he could shorten h's trip two or three miles. Ac- cordingly Stan made his way toward this road. This lane was originally the road by which logs were taken from the forest down a very steep and dangerous hill to the safwmill at the bottom. As Stan canfe to the top of this hill, he therefore f it a sljght thrill of apprehension, but, remem- bering once more his helpful mission, he started boldly donn the almost invislble trail. A dozen tires he slipped and al nost fell but he was nearly to the bottom before disaster overtook him. He there slipped on a smooth rock and fell heavily on his side, striking his head on a sharper rock. The shock stunned him, but presently, feeling strong enough to proceed, he struggled to his feet and pushed onward. He had not gone far, how- ever, before his head began to grow dizzy and his lirribs weak. A few minutes' rest cleared his head up and he again proceeded, though not without a strange weakness in his legs and knees. As he wen? onward, this feeling grew on him till Presently he realized the state of things. His strength was failing so fast in his ,superhuman effort to reach the city that it seemed imlpossible to fulfill h s obligation. However, he struggled on, until at last it seemed as though he could not take another step. It was then he became con- scious of a change in his surroundings and, stop- ping he raised his head and looked around. He had entered the city and now right before his dazed eyes, he saw a board bearing this on it, E, A. Edwards, M. D. Stan stumbled up the steps and rang the bell. A maid ushered him into the office and presently Dr. Edwards came in to see what Stan wanted. Stan told him his story, and fainted. When Stan regained consciousness, he was in h's own bed. His mother was bending anxiously over him. l How is the stranger? he asked. 'iAll right now, she answered. Stan asked for his Scout hat. It was handed to him. He turned the badge on it right-side u-p. thus sgnifying that he had done his daily good tuzn, and went .back to sleep. KENNETH FLEE, '26.

'CHE SUNBURS T :: 3 , l High School Orchestra From the end of the school year in 1923 to the end of the year of 1924, the orchestra has engaged in numerous and significant activities. The members occasionally enjoy some social function together which tends to promote their development by establishing a basis of friendship rather than merely meeting when they were to pract'ce or play, and having busi- ness relatxons, so to speak. Their calendar for the year has been filled with interest. In July, 1923, they played in conjunction with the Wilmington College orchestra. for a reception for college students given by the Commercial Club of Wilmington. Later in July they held their annual picnic and swimming party at Dingly Dell, near Wilmington. September 3rd, played for the Fulton family reunion. September 19, autumn reunion at Cedar Hurst. w December 17, 18, played for The Gold Bug. February 13, 1924, had a birthday banquet and attended concert in honor of Jennie Callender, the Senior longest in the service of the orchestra. February 24 opened annual concert tour at Clarksburg. February, played for The Ladies Homely Journal given by the Y. W. C. A. March 21st, furnished music for the Sophomore Carnival. March 27-28, played for Daddy Long-Legs. April 3rd, closed tour at Bloomingburg. April 22, 23, 24, Rotarian picture show. May 9, 10, furnished music for Senior Play. May 18, Baccalaureate. May 20, Class Night. May 22, Commencement. The orchestra also was' a never failing inspiration in athletics. They played at our football and basketball games. They are responsible for the Methodist and Presbyterian Sunday School orchestras. All of this goes to prove that the orchestra is an indispensable organ- ization. 'CHE SUNBURS T Glee Club Left to right: First row-WD. Bowen, S. Minshall, A. Taylor, H, Rodecker, H. Chandler.
