Bringing lowly oxen with him To Nebraska’s fertile prairies. Along the Elkhorn’s winding course. Brings he the plow, cart, and cattle. Puts up the cabin on his homestead. Carving out a western empire From this virgin soil of promise. Way b ick in eighteen fifty-six— (Tame a settler, Benjamin Moore. Came he fearless, and undaunted With his family, to Dead timber, lie, the first of all the settlers. Had the vision of this Eden, Had the courage to settle here. 'Twas a hard and snowy winter. And the hardships then were crushing. But of wild game there was plenty. For the Great Spirit, had well blessed This fair valley with the red deer. And the antelope and bison, Furnishing them their sustenance. Then in the year of fifty-seven Our West Point village was laid out. Philadelphia at the first. As its maiden name was given. Fifty-eight brought our John Neligh And James C. Crawford to this spot. These first two then bought a sawmill. And the claim to this fair townsite. Traveling back to Omaha, John D. Neligh met some settlers With their ox-teams coming this way. Met he them upon the prairie, And he coaxed them and cajoled them To come to this new settlement. So came they to our eastern hill. And as they glimpsed this promised land. Down on their knees, those settlers went. Thanking God for John D. Neligh. In the summer of fifty-nine. Came three thousand of the Pawnee Up the Elkhorn valley creeping. On a plundering raid they were. Then was heard the dreaded war whoop And the rush and tramp of battle. While the terror stricken women And the children, feared the scalp knife; Fled for safety did the people. Gone, were they for several days. Till the white men had defeated And drove the red men all away. Came then two long years of famine. Many then left Cuming county. Now comes the time of sixty-eight When the grist mill was completed. And the boom did start to coming. Which increased the population. When his Spirit fled John Neligh, West Point had one thousand people. Pioving soundly his conviction. Pro ing his prophetic vision. Came the need of education And the teacher Mis. Crawford, With the number of tw’elve pupils. Now the iron horse comes creeping. Up the valley, see it coming; Carrying settlers ever faster, And reaching here in seventy. Now come the Germans and the Swedes. The Bohemians and the Danes, Seeking homesteads, and their freedom. To the melting pot of races. Cuming county's fifteen thousand Of different creeds and races. Peacefully are residing here. Gitche Manito, the Mighty, The Great Spirit of the Red Man. Listen, to the White Man’s plead. Listen, to his words of wisdom. As they ascend to Thee, on High. We blame not your own red children, We blame not their natural love For their hunting grounds and prairies hilled by Thee with countless thousands Of the wild game for their taking. Know thee, that for countless ages Roamed the Indian o’er this soil. Little dreaming that within it There was food, and food a-plenty To support a mighty nation. For their homes, they were a-battling. hor their land, they were protecting From ruthless civilization So we blame them not for this. But the White Man must go onward. With the wheels of progress, turning To his piophetic destiny. And the lied Man was a barrier, Standing squarely in his pathway. Vet we honor Thee. Great Spirit. Gitche Manito. the Mighty. —T. 11.

Its crew consisted of forty-one members who had passed the necessary examinations and tests qualifying them for sailors in a ship of this type. These tests qualifying them as sailors did not however make them first class sailors. To be this one must have experience on board and the more experience one has the better sailor he is. So with this crew. On the first part of the trip the captain, Miss Cull, was obliged to establish self-confidence in her crew. Being that she was such an efficient captain, however, and the crew also being exceptionally bright this was not difficult. After four months of continuous traveling the ship landed on the rather small island of “Christmas Vacation”. Here the crew rested and picked up two new members. After a short while it again set sail. Not long after this the crew underwent hard tests in all its different kinds of work but luckily most of the crew came out of these tests more or less triumphantly. After five more months of hard work for the crew, as well as the captain, part of the crew were seasick and all were eager for rest and for a change in the diet, which consisted of only Home Economics, English, Algebra, Latin, and General Science. The appearance of the island of “Summer Vacation” was therefore warmly welcomed by everyone on board. Captain Cull found it impossible to pilot the ship any longer and so the crew had to “chase up” a new captain. Mr. Bunney accepted the challenge and took up guaidir.g as well as guiding the ciew On Sept. 8, 1924, all was ready and the steamer started again on its voyage. Five of the crew were however detained on the island. This time the crew enjoyed a different diet, the former one being entirely discarded with the exception of Latin. On thi trip all went well and on Dec. 19, 1924, the “Class of ’27” was driven ashore on island “Christmas Holidays”. This was a very small island but nevertheless the crew enjoyed its scenery and the rest from their daily labor. However all were on board ship after one week awaiting orders. For a vai iation in the daily routine the crew one evening partook of a party in the cabin of its leader, Marvin Von Seggern. The crew enjoyed this party to such an extent that it immediately resolved to have another one, but on deck, if possible. Latest reports say that the “Class of ’27” is making rapid progress and, although the ship has covered only half the distance to the desired destiny or goal, the crew, like Columbus and his crew, are already straining their eyes for glimpses of sea gulls and other indications of land.

When we come to our journey’s end we aim to have with us all who started on this trip. The colors we fly are green and white, (and woe be unto him who dares to say they are not altogether fitting and proper.) The admiral of our good ship, Miss Aimee Cumming. is very worthy of her position. The captain, Doiothy Elliott, first and second mates, Otto Lammers and Faylone Faltys, and the spoils collector, L.oyd Pospishil, are all hearty seamen. Class History—There are at the present time, forty-seven members of the Freshman Class. Fifteen of the original class remain. The others joined either in the grades or at the entrance to high school. Initiation—The Freshman initiation took place at the beginning of the school year. It happened at a wiener roast given at the park by the upper classmen to which all the Freshmen were invited. We had been expecting the initiation and when we were invited to the wiener roast we knew it was to take place there. We decided to have a wiener roast of our own and in this way evade it. The upper classmen did not find us until we had eaten. We were driven down to the park where they were holding the initiation. Some of us escaped it; others were pretty sore; but all’s well that ends well. Athletics— We are proud of the standing made in the inter-class basket ball tournament, by the girls and also the boys. The girls were runners-up, defeating the mighty seniors and the flighty sophomores. The boys were defeated but they did their best and we are proud of them for it. The boys played several preliminary games and often came out ahead. The Freshmen were represented in the track meet by Harlan Petz who took first place in the high hurdles and tied for first place in the low-hurdles. We may be green, but we’re not so dumb as some of the Sophomores who think a track meet is a railroad switch. —Some of us. Junior-Senior Banquet On Friday evening, May 1st, the class of '26 entertained the class of '25 and the faculty to the twenty-first annual Junior-Senior banquet in the parlors of the Grace Lutheran church. The parlors were beautifully decorated in the Senior class colors, old rose and silver, and a part was arranged for a reception room. Preceding the banquet a short program was given in the reception room. A flute solo was given by Boyd Von Seggern after which a Class Prophecy, written by Warren Simonson, was read. The program was concluded with clarinet and saxaphone solos by Warren Simonson. The four course banquet was prepared and served by the Ladies Aid Society of the church. Donley Pierson, president of the class of '26, acted as toastmaster and welcomed the Seniors, the response being given by Arthur Budwig, president of the Senior class. (Several were called on for O ♦ Sy XT ■■ ... Coa h 0. H. Carman has had two successful years in his work with the boys of our school, making football and basketball squads that rank among the best in tlie state. Although he was sick for several weeks in the midst of the past football season, he had worked up a strong team which lost only two games out of seven played. His basketball quintet was one of the best the school has ever produced, on!y two games being lost out of twenty (layed. Those going out for football this season were: Budwig, C. Paul, Elliott, Krause, Ihietje, Brazda, Wostoupal, Baumann, Sharrar, Gaster, M. Paul, McDonald, K. Johnson, Frankfurt, Malchow, Jurgenson, Wendorf, V. Peterson, Runge and Pierson. Ade” Wostoupal was chosen as captain for the 1924 eleven. Ade led his men to five victories, and did remarkable work! in the back-field. He had the job of kicking the ball over the goals, and missed only a few during the entire season. “Kiddo” Budwig, who is shown on the preceding page, has been elected captain for 1925. Kiddo was also one of the main figures in the backfield. o Sharrar Peterson Elliott Johnson The first football game of the season was a victory for West Point, the encoun.er being with Wahoo on October 16 h and the final score 10 to 7. 'I he teams were evenly matched, both putting up a strong defense and guarding the ball closely. In the third period Budwig took the ball for a 6J-yard dash and brought it behind the goal. 1 he same period saw Wahoo make a touchdown tieing the score at 7-7. In the last quarter on a last down Wostoupa drop-kicked the ball over the goal from the forty-yard line, giving the lead. Budwig and Wostoupal were the outstanding stars. However, Thietje made The Team Gaster Baumann Bra;;da Thietje a hit when he covered a long pass in the fourth period. The game with Wayne was a somewhat easy contest as shown by the final score of 28 to 0. Wayne tried everything possible but was unable to get much closer to her goal than the 20-yard line. The first half was a neck-and-neck battle neither side scoring; but in the last half Wayne could throw up no defense, the first touchdown was made by Wostoupal when he made a smash over center; the next scores by M. Paul, who fell on the ball behind the goal line; the third by Budwig taking an end run; and the four.h by a pass from Budwig to Wostoupal. In the game with Fremont the home squad lost its first encounter by a score of 27 to 7. Although Fremont had a much heavier team in general jyj. Paul The Four Horsemen Krause McDonald C. Paul Malehow the home fellows were not out-classed in delivery. At the end of the first quarter neither team had scored. Fremont made six points on an end run in the second period. West Point came back strong in the third quarter and started a game of passes. 1 wo passes were completed from Budwig to Baumann, and one from Wostoupal to Budwig who scored. “Ade” kicked goal and put the Pointers in the lead. Fremont came back strong and made two touchdowns, and another in the last quarter. Blair fell easy by a score of 20 to 0. The first quarter was scoreless. In the second period Budwig broke thiovgh for an 8 )-yard run making a touchdown. Again in the same quarter Budwig went thirty yards for another goal., At the beginning of the last half Wostoupal went ovei, bringing up the twenty points. Blair could offer no opposition whatever. Norfolk proved to be West Point’s second victor in the hardest fought game of the season when she conquered the home lads by the score of 21 10 7. West Point made her only touchdown in the third period when she pushed the ball over the goal following a recovered fumble. 1 ha overwhelming weight of the Norfolkans was the only hindrance to the locals, for they had the visitors guessing by their good team work. Norfolk scored geven points in the first quarter and seven more in the second. Her third touchdown was made in the last with an eighty-yard run. Hooper was easily walloped in a somewhat one-sided affair by the score of 45 to 0. The Hooperites had put it in about the reverse order the year before. Frankfurt went for a 50-yard run and M. Paul featured by inteicepting passes. West Point’s line-up consisted of reserves. Another victory resulted when West Point took the Stanton game with the points 14 to 7. Stanton came out strong, but in the second lap West Point made the first score when Wostoupal caught a pass back of the goal. In the third period Stanton scored, and in the last quarter Budwig intercepted a pass and made West Point’s second touchdown after running 50 yards. The game ended with the ball on the five-yard line, Krause having brought it there after intercepting a pass and traveling 50 yards. The windup game was a big victory for West Point when Neligh was conquered ty a 15 to 7 score. Budwig made the first score when he ran 83 yards for a touchdown. Neligh took the ball down via aerial route and sccied making the points 7 to 6 in her favor. In the last quarter West Point blocked Neligh’s punt and obtained the ball. With a big shove the ball was but over the goal line, setting the score at 13 to 7. With the following kickoff Neligh was carried for a set-back adding the final two points. Stars were Budwig, Wostoupal and Krause in the bad (field. while C. Paul and Thietje showed up good in the line. During the intermission between halves the Freshmen held funeral services. They carried a laige coffin which bore the letters “NELIGH.” w w du One nice thing about history is that it proves that the present gener-tion has no monopoly on the supp’v of fools.

Clarkson Falls in Second Game Clarkson was defeated in her second game with West Point on January 24 by the score of 19 to 17. Boh teams were evenly matched, and the opponents had never been defeated during their season of thirteen games. West Point had suffered only one defeat, her first game of the season, in a game played with Clarkson. Paul Wen dor f l'razda Wostoupal The squad started the scoring when Wostoupal shot through the hoop from the foul line. Immediately following, Krause tossed a basket and later dropped the ball in from center floor. Clarkson scored before the quarter was up. In the second quarter Clarkson got the lead, making eight points while West Point only three. Clarkson made a point on a foul in the third period and West Point two baskets, setting the score to West Point’s advantage at 11-12. The last quarter was a neck and neck battle. With only a few more minutes to play the score was 16 to 17 in Clarkson’s favor. Krause then added a point fiom the foul line, tieing the score. In the last minute Paul, center, eased the ball through the hoop. Norfolk Loses First Game With W. P. Another evenly matched game was with Norfolk on January 30, West Point coming out victor by the score of 14 to 12. Norfolk made the first basket after a few minutes of play. West Point followed soon, however, with two points when Wostopual shot the ball through the hoop twice from the foul line. Norfolk! then made the next scoie and Wostoupal again shot a basket. The points were kept close, the score at the end of the first quarter being 6 to 4 wiih the locals in the lead, and at the half an 8 to 8 tie. At the close of the third period the score was 14 to 12, no points were run up in the last stretch. Wostoupal was the main point-maker for trie home squad, but the whole team did well although seveial regular men weie unable to piny. Randolph Loses First Game In a game that went into three extra periods Randolph’s defense was shattered by West Point who took, another victory by a 14 to 11 score. Randolph started the scoring after only a few minutes of play but the end of the half showed West Point in the lead with the points 7 to 5. At the end of the regular playing time the score was 10 to 10. Wostoupal had saved the game when he plunged a lengthy toss through the hoop just before the whistle blew, thus tieing the score. Randolph made a point on a foul but West Point slammed in two baskets, giving her opponents their first defeat of the season. West Point Wins District Tournament West Point won the championship of District No. 2 when she defeated Norfolk in the finals. 7 he local team started the scoring when Wostoupal made a basket, this being followed by a free throw, setting the score at 3 to 0. In the second quarter Norfolk made only one point on a free throw. Paul added two more points for the locals and Wostoupal scored a point on a free throw. Paul added two more poin's for the locals and Wostoupal scored a point on a free th ow after which Paul again tossed the ball into the net. The half ended 9 to 1. In the third period Norfolk ran her score up to 7. putting two field goals in the basket within two minutes. West Point, however, came back strong and raised her score to 16. The last stretch saw four more points put to West Point’s favor when Krause and Paul made two sensational shots. Boys’ Tournament The Senior class won the annual interclass basketball tournament this year. The class had won it last year as juniors and therefore received the cup.

I’m not as big a fool as my teacher—takes me to be. The idea of dial expression in the general English department was carried out this year for the first time in the West Point high school. Freshmen and Sophomore English classes had public speaking assignments eveiy Friday. Besides the general work two dramatic classes were organize 1 the first semester. The following Freshmen were registered for dramatics three hours a week; Dorothy Elliott, lna Flores, Madeline Wostoupal, Myrle Tomrdle, Catherine Moodie, Ada Adams, Alice Baumann, Margaret Oaks, Catherine Weller, Helen Hensel, Grace Oaks and LaVern Radler. Two of these entertained the Press Association, Catherine Moo lie reading “Ma and the Auto,” and LaVern Radler reading “Watchin’ the Sparkin’.” The advanced class after reviewing the fundamental principles of dramatics began work on a three act comedy drama, “Am 1 Intruding.” The entire cast received credits in this work. During the second semester the dramatic work was with the declamatory class and the class and faculty plays. Students from all classes in high school made up the declamatory class: Dramatic Sophia Bailey Emelie Wilde LaVern Hoffman Martin Runge Norma Romberg Ethel Ellerman Agnes Bailey Oratory Donley Pierson Lloyd Pospishil Humorous Donald Krause lna Flores Talitha Oelschlaeger Lillian Senden Irma Witte Marjorie Thompson Ethel Beckenhauer Extemporaneous William Wiemann Russell Davee Lily Jensen Levi Gaster This was the first year that extemporaneous speaking was taken up in the school. William Wiemann took first place in that class. First in the dramatic class was Donley Pierson whose selection was “Madam X.” In oratory the winner was Donald Krause, speaking on “Our Responsibility as a Nation.” Ethel Beckenhauer was the winner in humorous. Her selection was “The Missionary Box that Scandalized the Village.” All the firsts went to Oakland for the elimination contests.

The principle part of the machine is a huge disc that revolves in a vertical plane. Power is applied through the axis of the disc, and the work is done on the periphery, and the hardest substance, by mere impact, may be reduced to any shape.” “What is this machine ” queried Bill. A grindstone,” was the reply. An Eye-Opener “Why did they arrest the blind man?” “The cop saw him blush when the co-ed passed by.” Gos: The Nextdoors certainly are high- oned, judging from the cioihcs they wear.

Cocky senior bounds in room leaving door open, creating draft Said important papers fly about loom.. “!@?—!—1(5”, says Editor as he springs for said papers. “Quick, let me see that picture you took of Tall and Small!” ejaculates said senior from behind chair. Editor shows picture of two seniors taken day before. “The Tong and short of it. Haw! Haw!” sputters said senior gazing at photo. (When you say “Haw! Haw!” make the horsiest laugh possible.) Bell rings. Senior vanishes. Scene II: Same setting (5 minutes later). Editor still busy. (As usual). Building shakes, spicy senior stumbies through door creating draft. Above mentioned important papers start to frolic.c. “!@—!—?( ”, repeats editor as he misses paper which goes out window. “Got that picture of Tall and Small.” meekly questions said senior from under table. Editor again shows photo. “The long and short of it, eh.” chuckles said senior. (In trying to repeat chuckle, think of a saw mill). Senior spys College Humor, picks it up, settles in chair, and remains un.il janitor starts sweeping. Scene III: Still same setting (15 min. later). Editor busy. Senior No. 2 still reading above stated book with frown on map. (Can’t get a kick out of said book). Sound of thrashing machine heard down hall. Senior No. ? crashes onto quite s ene. Papers fly and Ed goes through customary rituals. “Wheie’s that picture of Tall and Small?” queries said senior No. 3( Editor jams photo into his hands. “Heh, Heh. The long and short of it,” remarks said senior who has voice of kitten. (Keep in mind that there are also cat fights. Senior catches glimpse of Editor who is shoo.ing piercing glares at former. Said senior No. 3 collects scattered thoughts and experiences sensation of realizing that he is expected to “beat it”. Editor dives under desk secures neatly wrapped object, heaves it at fast disappearing senior, and—curtain falls. Scene IV: Steps of school (next day). Pretty black ribbon on door Two students gaze at said ribbon. “Funniest thing I’ve heard” remarks first stude. “Yeah”, drawls 2nd stude. “Seems like a senior asked to see a picture and the Edilor spun a brick at him. Must have been intentional; where would he get the brick?” —V. 0. N. And they wonder why an Editor gets cranky. “John, dear, for years the humorists have joked about the bride’s first apple pie.” “Yes, dear?” “So my first pie will be a lemon.” And it was. “You Yanks,” remarked my English friend, “Just make a fellow lawf. First you say you’re on a boat. And then you shout ‘We’re off!’ ” Census Taker (to middle-aged spinster)—And what is your age, madam ? Spinster (coyly)—I’ve seen just twenty-five summers. “How long have you been blind?” Dauber—Brushum paints some very realistic work, doesn’t he? Kanvass—Yes. Last March he painted an apple, and I heard someone today say it was rotten. Flap: I’ve kept an account of all my quarrels in this diary. Flapper: Sort of a scrap book as it were.

For often it is the last important gift to The-Little-Girl-Who-Is-Theirs. In future years, they may send her other gifts—bridal gifts, house-waiming gifts, anniversary gifts. But these will go to The Woman-Who-Belongs-To-Someone-Else. How natural, too, that the final selection should be an ELGIN WATCH—a gift that is a living thing—with every tick a heart beat, delivering its devoted message through a lifetime of service. That the majority of all gift-watches are Elgins is evidence enough for intuitive Mother and reasoning Father. M. E.
