Miss Gabus At the opening of school in September, 1014, the High School began with many more than the usual number of Freshmen. The class was soon organized: the colors, orange and black, were selected; and the officers chosen were: President, Frank Buechsenstein. Vice President, Robert Ralls. Secretary and Treasurer, Ralph Joder. Sponsor, Miss Gabus. ('lass Editor, Anson Thomas. Athletic Representative, George Fenning. Sergeant-at-Arms, Philip Grove. The class is composed of the eighth grade class of last year; those having finished the country schools, and several from other states. The Freshmen class of 1918 is the largest and best ever in the High School. All in the class are good, well behaved students who are not inclined to exhibit the usual “greenness” of Freshmen. The following courses are taken by the Freshmen: Latin, Agriculture, Domestic Science, and Business. The High School was surprised, but pleased, by the article in the papers stating that several of the present faculty, especially Miss Gabus, would remain in the Alliance High for another yea r. The Freshmen program given April 28th was a complete success. It was a unique, well-acted playlet entitled, “Highways and Byways of High School Life.” Our class is remarkable for its unusually large number of boys. No other class in High School can boast of the number of boys and girls being equal. Prof. Lewis, in Physical Geography class, when describing a rhinoceros, finding the class not giving its full attention, said, “Now if you want to realize the true hideous nature of this animal you must keep your eyes fixed on me.” Bob R.—“What is meant by ‘the stuff dreams are made of.” Frank Bix.—“Paint, powder and false hair.” Mr. Lewis—“This plant belongs to tbe begonia family.” Student—“Oh, and they loaned it to the Botany class.” Mr. Lewis (in Physical Geography class)—“What effect does the moon have on the tide?” Ethel 0.—“None. It affects only the untied.” Mr. A.—“What is your head for anyway?” Norman—“To keep my necktie from slipping off.”
