Sergeant-at-arms ...................... (’lass Editor........................... Athletic Representative ............... Class Sponsor........................... Frank Buechsenstein ........ Robert Ralls ........ Ralph Joder ..... Philip Groves .....Anson Thomas . . . George Fenning ......... 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.”

THE SPUD 25 As the Rchool year of 1914-15 draws to a close, the last issue of the “Spud” published under the direction of the present staff is placed in the hands of our readers. We have put forth our best efforts during the year just passed to make our paper typical of the school it represents. It is as yet, practically a new periodical, but lias been excellently supported by the high school body, the faculty, and the townspeople. As the staff is chosen from the entire high school, only a few of the members are graduating this year. We hope that next year, the student body will be just as loyal in aiding the publication of the “Spud” and make it even more successful than it has been this year. A full measure of success cannot be achieved without enthusiasm. Enthusiasm is the contributing factor of any finished product. The best clerks, the most resourceful managers are always filled with enthusiasm. When you are master of yourself, you are in better position to master a situation. When a position calls for everlasting hard work, and you fail to work, you are not master of yourself, nor can you expect to master the situation. Get your blood filled with the virus oi enthusiasm. —Selected. Work is often the father of pleasure. Pity the man overwhelmed with the weight of his own leisure.Happiness is a good that nature sells us. —Voltaire. The dreams of those who labor are the only ones that ever come true. —Selected. It’s good to have money, and the things that money can buy; but it’s good, too, to check up once in a whib and make sure that you haven’t lost the things that money can’t buy. —Exchange. The first degree of folly is to concede one’s self wise: the second to profess it; the third to dispise counsel. —Franklin.
