' .4 Q V . Q W - 1 , V But with the advent' of the' town of Monroegtiz lsoonpbecame evident the school, should be located in the village, and in 1891,the district was divided and afoneroom building erected on the present site.. This served the purposeiuntil 1896, when another room was added and two teachers employed. ' v About 1901 a high school. was talked of, which resulted in a four room building, erected in 19029. j ' At this time the east-district concluded they would again join the' district, making' it' all' district No. 76. For a fewiyears after this two schools were maintained, one here in Monroeiand- the other,f one and one-half miles east and one-hale mile north of tovsfn, but the country schoolwas discontinued and the present bus system installed to bring the east district children' to school.

' I A Now the histo.ry of the Class of Four-and-Twenty, of the High school of the city- of Monroe, County of Platte, State of Nebraska, is in this wise: . . e In the beginning, in the Twentieth year of our Lord, in the ninth month and on the ,fifth day of the month, there entered into this land of Learn- ing, eleven seekers of knowledge. Some came up from the Eighth grade, where they had for many months been busily engaged in storing their minds with the honey of wisdom: someuwere green and fresh from a far CO'l1lll2l'y! some came from farms, where they had been tillers of the soil: and some were from the other halls of instruc- tion. ' ' And itcame to pass, as theydid en- terthis land, that they were received with wild welcofmings and rejoicirgs by those who it was decreed should henceforth lead them up the slippery by-ways of knowledge. 5 , Likewise iit. came to pass that they were receive-d with malicious glee by a certain ,band of wild beings who were called Sophomores, and who because ofthe-ir -fierce taste for Freshman blood, did pounce upon them daily andnightly, and did cause them to suffer great things, and to sayin their hearts: A Behold, blessed be the name of Education, for because of it have we endured great torments, both of the body and of the mind. Ve.rily have we been martyrs to its great and noble cause. - . u And as they dwelt long in the land, they fell in with the customs of the inhabitants thereof, and their strangeness Wo e away, and they each became as one among the .res-t. I -i Now it came to pass, scon after they entered the land, that' they were one and all seized with a strarge 'in- firmity, which, did cause them to act with much fierceness and strangeness of manner, and to grapple andwrestle with their fellows in much rage and seeming ferocity. Wise mentwere call- ed to look upon them, who did. ex- amine them with much care and pains, and did finally pronounce' that the infirmity in thexmale as base- ball and in the female basket-ball and did assure the frightened leaders the malady while it.needs must be contagious and likewise' fatal, was 'yet a necessary evil, and-one 'that ev- en the wise men knew not the way to cure. So, with many anxious fears, 9 and dire foreboding, did the instruc- tors allow the disease to .run itsenat- ural course, and lo, nonne was killed, and ,few.were-.seriously injured, where- at there was great rejoicing through- out the land. - A. pass, after, some eyes were turned And it came to months, that their toward graduation, but many, with one consent, beganeto make- excuses: am poo,r in health. The first said, I Therefore I cannot graduate. K Another said, I am dull and cannot learn. I pray thee have me excused. A third said, I must needs toil at home. Therefore- I cannot graduate. So thus did this class decrease in numbers until the whole number at the end of the first year was eight. U ' Chapter II. s I Now it came to pass at the begin- ning of the second year that a new band of youths came up from the ad- joining territory, and the Class of Twenty, in the new dignity of their promotion, remembered the' days of their own greenness,-andfas the-'Sopho-I. mores of their day had done unto them, even so did they do unto these new Freshmen, and did show no- me.rcy unto their suderings, and no heed un- to' their lame-ntations, until allwere bruised and full of much sorrow..- . 1 Now it so -happened that this land to which they had come was .ruled ov- er by one known as Verda Thorpe a teacher of much wisdom: and at the beginning of the . second year, she spake unto them, saying: Go, gather ye in a body, and organize yourselves into a class, that ye may gain in strength, and that your courage may wax hot. A And as she spake unto them, so was it done, and -they chose their wisest ones to be their leaders and called themselves, with much. pride, The Class of Four-and-Twenty. Q And it came to pass, that again their ranks were thinned, some say- ing they must needs go unto broader fields of knowledge and others moving into a different territory., And the whole number at the end of the sec- ond year was six. , And it came to pass, at the end of these two years, that Verda Thorpe the teacher who had thus far traveled in their lead, did go from this coun- try to far distant places, and there was much grief and sorrow in the land. For verily, had she made her- self d.early beloved by the Class of Four-and-Twenty, - Chapter III. Now it so happened that there dwelt in an adjoining territory, Helen Glasgow, a woman of much learning who hearing of the departure from her post of Verda Thorpe, re-moved fro-m her. field of labor, and 'dwelt for a time in th1e'Land of Learning, that the travels of the Class of Fo-ur-and-, Twenty ,might tontinue for many days. Q. But- a Great cry 'went up, from the throats of the greedy class: Lo 'if it dothuhappen that we are to graduate after many days, 'it ap- peareth thatthere is much need of many ,dollars wherewith to provice the fun. f Andlso, thinking these things, the Class -made a feast, and the public was bidded thatmoney might be brought into the treasury, and the coffers fill- ed. . And behold, as the Class went on its way in great rejoicing through the land of plenty and of promise, ,they did overtakefthree damsels who were wandering alone, and of who one cried unto us with a loud voice, say- ing Take me into your class, I pray you, for my Companies have gone far on without me, and I cannot reach them, .though I follow fast and far. Another: cried Take me oh too into your class, I -pray you, for a have journeyed far away from my com- panies ,and desire not to wait until their coming upf' The third said, Take me oh too as I have los companies and as they spake t my 'unto them, even so did the Class of Four- and-Twenty listen and have compas- sion into them, and it washdone unto them even as they had asked. And lo, -the whole number at-'the end of this third year was only four,- for the last of the th.ree damsels mov- ed on to newerterritory, and the field work called the thr-ee boys. So it came to pass that onl-y damsels re- mained in the famous Class of Four- and-Twenty, . , Chapter IV. Now this, the fourth year in the history of this great and wonderful Class of Four-and-Twenty' has been one of much hard labor, and but lit- tle resting by the wayside: for pre- parations have been makingready for them to take their final departure from the land. ' Now it came to pass, as their pride grew to a great bigness within them, that the Class began to wish for em- blems befitting their stationzfe and many messages were sent to the big cities and all the towns roundabout for samples of their fine jewelry: and at last, after considering and recon- sidering, the iClass professed itself to be satisfied with its choice, and rings were purchased with which they rest- ed well content. - 1 And it also 'came to pass that the class, finding themselves rich in W.. ..-- .JQWL ,. knowledge, chose to be one of ,theirf colors, the .rich hue of Gold thathas reached its best estate through the blackness of the purifying heat, and for the other -the ,blue of the sky, which was to be unto the-rn a symbol of truth. 'And they did blend togeth- er 'the blue and the gold, to proclaim unto the world that their knowledge andtruth. r 1 - Now the whole number at the end of this .fourth year is four, wh.ich are theseg Henrietta, of the House of Kelly. Helen Adeline, only daughter of Robert of the House of Strothler. Esther Helen, second daughter of Pat, of the House of Egan. Edna May only daughter of Charles First son of Samuel, of the House of Terry. So it has come to pass that of the one and ten that ente.red this land in Twenty, only four will depart, for verily, verily, I say unto you, that broad is the gate, and wide is the way that leadeth to the High School, and many there be tha.t 'go in thereat: but straight is the gate, and narrow is the way that leadeth to graduation, and few there be that find it. Four years hath the Class of Four- and-Twenty sojourned in the land, and gathered in large portions the fruits from the Tree of Knowledge: But it is written, In the day when ye shall have eaten of all these fruits, ye shall surely be driven forth. from the landf' Now, I say unto you, they must de- part thence, to go each a separate way, to lands they know not of, to do, they know not what. But let us not be weary in well do- ing, for in due season we shall reap if we faint not. And now may the blessings that ev- er attend the noble and good and true, follow and abide with us, each and all, now. and forevermore. Amen. n-0 . ' High School Orchestra . A high school orchestra was organ- ized aboutthe first of February. The players are: Harold Potter, lst cornetg Dwight Kelly, 2nd cornetg Kenneth Kelly, saxaphone-, Edward Jenkinson, 2nd violing Ken Smith and Paul Rupp 1st violinsg and Hazel Smith. piano. -A new member joined the orchestra on the night of May 9th, Elvin Hill, 1st clarinet. ' , . d A regular orchestra practice is held every Tuesday evening after school. o Thebenefit of an orchestra cannot be over estimated. A musical .educa- tion even if it doesn't enable ia per- son toearn his living, is beneficial in giving pleasure to the players as well et. H1 , .4 as to thehearers. a ' A 1 . A- - A The orchestra will make its first public-.appearance on the night of May 23rd. , I y V Piano Fund' is The Piano Fund is Aa .fund that was raised by the Mon.roe High School for the purpose of buying a piano for the school. , About fifteen dollars were left over. in the treasury from the year before. In order to increase this amount 'a play was staged b-y the Junior and Senior classes of the High S. hool. This increased the fund to sixty-five dol- larsg an addition-al twenty-five dollars was taken out of the treasury of the Monroe School Doctrine. At the pres- ent time a hundred dollars have been paid on the piano which is in the Sen- ior assembly of the high school. Next year the balance will be paid by the school. . is The piano is a beautiful instrument in a dark oa.k finished case., It is used three mornings every week for sing- ingg and it comes in very handy in entertainments and for the school or- chestra during practice. The play that was staged for the purpose of' enlarging the fund was: Aaron Slick from Punkin C.rick. The play was staged in other towns as -well as Monroe. The three acts were very interesting, and-the large attendances showed their ' appreciation by their 'loud applause. If I Knew- If I know the box where the smiles were kept, No matter how large the box or stzong the keyg I'd-try! so hard, I know it would open for me. ' Then broadcast, I'd scatter those ' smiles to play.. E , So careworn people might hold them fast- ' . For many and many a day. If Iiknow a box that was large ,eroughg For all the frowns th-at I meet I would hold them, fold them, pack them in . ' And turn the -monster ke-y. I I'd hire a giant to drop the box, To the depths of the deep blue sea. I -M. H. S:Bulletin. il - Sophomore Valentine Party On the night of Sai-nt Valentine's Day, the Sophomores and faculty met at the school house. 'The chairs and seats in the Senior Assembly were pushed out of the way andieverything was put in readiness 'for playing games. Various .games were played which all-enjoyed. - a An interesting feature ofthe. party was a Valentine Box which contained messages for everyone. Dainty lunch was served which con- sisted ofi brick ice cream, tea, cakes and punch. After lunch every-one de- parted forfhome, 'each expressing that they had spent a very enjoyable even- ing. e , Q ' Exchanges We are listing a review of all the exchangs we have received during, the past year.

We have sometimes had to rid ourselves of these in too much haste' to be -able to pick and--ichoose the most desirable means of disposal. The following highly treasured valu- ables we will le-ave to those whom we hope 'will appreciate and -praise them as highly as we did: a- I, Helen Adeline Strother, do here- by leave to my fellow classmate, Got- lieb Abbegglen, my ability to bluff, which was willed to me by a member of the class of '22 and I hope that it will bring him the same good: results that it did me. ' , To 'Kenneth Smith, whom I -know hasthe same 'failing as I- did I will leave a few pieces of candy which for the exceptions of having a bite or two taken from them, are still very good and fresh. They will be found in the corner of the drawer of my desk in a wax paper sack. , ' To Bernice Hoare I will bequeath a few inches of my height. Beelieving that they will be of a great 'benefit to her. , I, Edna Terry do bequeath my good nature and winning ways to Mary Du- brava. Hoping they will gain for 'her as many friends as theydid me.

May it re- duce her as fast as it did me. p To the Validictorian of 1925, We The Seniors of 1924, do hereby leave: two worn out shoestrings, one empty ink bottle, a broken comb, a worn out compass, pencil Stubbs, erasers and scraps' of paper. ' Last comes the one thing hard for us to part Uwith. . To our successors we must' leave our places in the hearts and thoughts of our Superintendent and teachers. They will love them, unworthy as we feel they are, even as they have loved usg they will show them all the.same tender kindness and attention that they gave and be- stowed upon us: they will feel the sameusori ow when they fail. We trust that, the Class of 1925 will appreciate all. this as deeply as we have done, that it may be their most precious possession as it has been ours, and-the one we are most loath to hand over to them.. -A , Besides these enforced g'fls, we leavef-not of necessity, but our own free w'll-our blessing, tender mam- ories of our plea 'ant aspirations to- gether, and our f-in-rgiveness for any- thing. that ,we may not have exact y pledged of f iendship from hencz- forth and forever.

It has been said at this time of the year those who are about to venture forth into-the world for themselves have the power to open the door of the future and .foretell their fate. Taking advantage of this privilege we see ourselves somewhere between 1924-1950. We find ourselves listening to the conversaiton of an elderly gentleman -and a middle aged lady. The gentle- rnan is now speaking, let us listen! During the first month of my cam- paign while looking over my mail one morning I-was attracted by ar large foreign looking envelope post marked Cairo, which may interest you. 'I'1l now read it. ' ' My Dear Mr. Reeves. Am watch- ing you rise in the political iworld with much interest and sirce-rely hope you will be our next President. How time flies! The last time I saw you was commencement night 1924 when our class of four gi rls grad- uated. Do you ever hear anything of them? ' ' No doubt you are surprised at this post mark. The fall -after leaving school I gave up my position at Ceres- co and taught school in the sand hills, where I remained for 6 years. During the summer of '30 I entered a nation wide music contest at Oconee. 'As I had not paacticed since leaving school I .was very surprised. when I was awarded 2nd prize. The 'V mayor of Oconee, Mr. F. H. T. Thompson con- fered the honor upon me and when I looked into his eyes I knew I had met my fate. We we-re married six weeks later in the hotel parlor at Oconee. 'But our happiness was of short duration, for my poor Fred died a few months later from the edects of eat- ing too much sour kraut. I was al- most prostrate from grief 'till I again took up my music. After studying 3 years in various cities I made my debut in Genoa, Ne- braska, and later toured the world. I' received my greatest Welcome in the Sahara Desert and so here I am. now crossing the desert for the time. It seems -I am received more enthusiasm. will close- now at. I have a con- cert at 6 o'clock this morning. Your Eriend and Pupil, . Henrietta Kelly Thompson' H6 I am 16th with HI I thought' no more about it until my coast to coast campaign when we were forced to land 'between Omaha and Denver. Imagine my surprise when I found our temporary destina- tion to be,Columbus, Neb.r. As it was early in the day I hired a plane and went to Monroe. But instead of the small country town I. had left in its place was a busy metropolis. Later I learned that its .remarkable growth was due tohthe discovery of coal in large quantities some 5 years before, and that most of the farmer inhabit- ants had sold their land at a high fig- ure and now lived'in the fashionable avenues. ' I walked the streets for several hours meeting, time- and again a little ol.d man whose face seemed strangely familiar and finally he spoke. Ile was one of my former friends and we fell to talking over old times as friends 'win dp. I r He said that one of my old pupils Edna Terry, now, Mrs. Ed. Schmidt was living in the fashionable district. It seems her husband had made- quite a bit of money on. some land when coal was discovered. 'Later I called on Edna and this is her story. H 6 The fall after graduating Iuenter- ed'University where I studied kinder- garten work for two, years, but the lure of the stage was too great so I took up toe dancing. I -studied in -Kansas, Oklahoma and Sweeden for nearly ten months and was ready to make my debut in Sweeden when. I re- ceived a telegram from my fiancee' Ed Schmidt stating that he was cem- ing to Sweeden. Afte.r much argu- ment he succeeded in convincing me that I needed some one to protect me in that strange country so we were married. But the lure of the foot- lights was too great to resist so we toured Europe for several years where I was well received among my natives of every country. This soon grew tiresome and as business afairs were beginning to de- mand my husk and's attention in Ameri ca we returned to our native land. 'Upon our return I was made sev- eral dcsirable offers to cont'nue my 'dancii g, which I refused because ho re duties seemed to demand my latten- tion. We bought ai home 'on 5tv Ahe- nue and here we have been living ever since. Much of my time is taken up in the training of my little' daughter who promises to follow in myfoot- steps as a dancer. I You have certainly been inte-rest- ingly posted upon the important events in the lives of two of my class- mates. I am fortunate enough to be able to-supply the missing links inthe rest of our class history. Several days ago I cut out of the Evening Star this clipping. The headlines read: ' Famous 'Surgeon Dr.' Asbestos re- turns to -America after honeymoon in Europe. b I I But the surprise is in the article, it reads. ' t I Dr. Asbestos and his wife hail from the middle west. Mrs. Asbestos was formerly Miss Esther Egan of Class of '24 of Monroe, Nebr., she is a trained nurse and before her marriage was president of United Society for the Rrotection of Blind Mice. It was dur- ing her 'reign as head nurse of the Brooklyn hospital that she met Dr. Asbestos. Their marriage took place last October in the underground rail- way station of Brooklyn. The happy couple sailed immediately after .the ceremozy for Eurcpe where theyspent nine months in touring the Orient, stopping at the oldtomb of King Tut for a day. Here Dr. Asbestos made some researchrwork. He is trying to find a cure for the disease that seems to effect all tomb openers, he thinks he has discovered the .remedy but will not make the 'announcement of itun- til next month. ' Mr. 'and Mrs. Asbest- ospintend to make their future home in New York, where both will, take up their .former postitions until the com- pletion of their new hospital. 1 The fund' for this has been already started. It is to be at home for stray dogs and cats, where they willfbe fed. until they attain 'of certain weights and then they will go to the Dr.'s experi- ment room. The Dr. is really making this hospital an experiment station for his new medicine and his first as- sistant is his Wife Esther. The many friends of the young cduple wish them well, and the editors of this paper al- so wish them much happiness. You asked me about my past, Well the next year after I left High school I .attended Lincoln, Unive-rsity. I took a course in DomesticfScience and became an expert cook. I was un- able to find a school with suitable equipment.

J ' Basket ,Ball I Although the score rbooklof the Mon- ree .High school. ..,- basket -:ball team shows more defeats than victoiries, the team has, considering the material, made a fairly good, showing. This year the basket ball team caneisteqd of only one experienced playoff and the ieinaining men were rather green ma- terial. 'P Q The first game of the season was a liaitl fought battle with- the Duncan cagers on the local floor. It took three extra five minute periods to de- cide who wasto be the victor. Dun- can linally capping it by a 6-fl score. Next came the return game at Dun- can between the same teams.. Dun- can determined to take this game al- so, played their coach in the last half and won 28-4. Luck was still far from the hands of the local tossers, and they dropped another fgame, this time to the Co- lumbus 'Rotary club of Columbus. A Q Then, the tide turned and Monroe won a 7-6 victory from Havens. This game, although it was not made by a large score, put morelconfidence into the players., . :Thetreturn game 'at Havens -was the next played. The Havens referee seemed to 'think he had eyes on all corners -,of his head ,and while the teams .were in action, he would con- verse with the spectators, and would call fouls, held-balls, etc, while his back was turned to the playing, be- sides many other rotten dec:EsIons.

So far we have come together, hand in. hand and we have been looking forward to this time for- getting that it was going to mean a time of parting, But-now we remem- ber, and in spite of our triumph it makes us sad. Therefore- I am not go- ing to linger over the parting words.

They were told that if they dressed in their best clothes they would have to pay a heavy fine, which none of course had to svC er as they acted according to orders. I, When the So-phomores arrived, the Juniors ushered them, to the Senior assembly which served as a reception room. Games were-played until all guests had arrived. p Then the Juniors, after blindfold- ing the Sophomores, who were sure their trouble had begun, led Lthem down stairs' to the basement. At the foot of the basement stairs they were led over a ,rough stretch which was a bed spring. As they had this trouble abo-ut over they were greeted by -a cup of Water thrown from within the furnace room. ' Then they were taken into the Morgue Uponentering they were surprised, by hearing wierd music from the Victrola, which became more ghostly than before as the' guests were led to touch the skeleton of Caesar, the casket of -Cicero, led down Grave Yard Alley 'where they could hear shrieks and moaning of the dead, and led near the body ofa man who had been killed in an accident On the previous day. After theyhadhvislted the ,morgue they were taken into the science Icom Wh.e.re they waited until all had visited the morgue. , , They were again blindfolded and led into the morgue and fed what they thought to be worms from the coffin of Cicero, which, when the blindfold was removed, Was, to their surprise, found to be spaghetti. V Again' they waited in the science room for all ,to assemble. After tak- ing the punishment where Florence Bushgens- and Kenneth 'Kelly 'both blindfolded. Florence fed Kenneth syrup. This was S1 very sricky propo- sition as most everyone received their share of the syrup.. At lastthe Seniors came, 'who served afsmall lunch, which was eaten ,with many jokes in between and the guests de- parted. L. A 1 -g a N Christmas.

Oni the other hand,.by doing this, we had fair weather, and were able to stage one. of they 'most success- ful school functions ever held here. For attendance, many say the hall was neve.r so crowded. Be that as it may, the house was filled to overflowing by an appreciative audience, before whom was rendered a program of music, a cant-ata by. the grades, fol- lowed by the presentation of diplomas to the Eighth grade graduates. A At the opening of the program, four members of the high. school orchestra, Kenneth Smith, Paul Rupp, Hazel Smith, and Kenneth Kelly, .rendered selections which were heartily encofed by the audience. There are ten mem- bers ofthe orchestra, and more to join later, but only these' four were ready to appear at this time. There will be more' participating at the high' school commencement exercises. The cantata., Midsummer A Eve, presented by the grade pupils, under the direction of the- Misses Steinberg- er and Williams, was an event in. school history long to be remembered. The costuming of the Elves, Fairies, Flowers, and Will-'o-the-Wiaps, the throne of the Queen, the forest scene, the excellent songs, perfectly execut- ed drills and marches, especially the cu.rtisies of the fairies Geraldine,Egan andiLoneta Killion-all these went to make the cantata a genuine success, the kind the school and patrons will long remember. No smallamount of praisefor this belongs to their teach- ers, M'sses Williams and Steinberger, who worked so patiently and careful- ly to train the pupils. Their -accom- panist, Miss Anna Kelly, has also giv- en many afternoons and evenings of her time gratis. 9 The cast of characters follows: Dorothy ........ 4---,Jean Hollingshead Queen Mab--T ............
