We were, as a class, lull ot vim and determined to excel all our predecessors. With dignity becoming our position we elected otlicers. with Elizabeth Marie Allen as president and as the guiding star ot our path to victory. We retained royal purple and white as our class colors. Tho deeply engaged in our studies we found several spare moments to in- dulge in social recreations which bound us more lirmly together as a class with a common cause. ln athletics base-ball was the leature, in which the freshmen shown as elsewhere, and carried away their share ol the laurels. With the same undaunted spirit we entered our second year in the A. H. S. A lew ot our members dropped out, but the majority struggled on, encouraged by visions oi the coveted sheepskin. ln the autumn ot 1905 we assumed the responsibility ot Juniors, with two ears ol experience we were ready to give our best to the High School. his year the Juniors took a prominent part in the entertainment given by the school under the direction ot the musical instructor, and in the graduation exercises. The Junior-Senior reception was enjoyed by all present. Several picnics were held at Portland Arch which were the occasions ol much hilarity tor dignitied Juniors. ln 1906 we attained the highest ot our glory. pre-eminence in the Attica High School. By one accord John Murray Ray was victorious in the presi- dential election. We werei determined to inaugurate a heretoiore unknown custom, that ol publishing an annual tor the benetit ot all who are interested in our High School. V The Seniors and Juniors also organized a literary society. Interesting meetings were held, debating between the two classes being the teature ot each.

Tho we rejoiced over fulfilling our ambitions, it was not without regret and sadness that we saw our High School days pass so quickly. We realized that many ol our happiest and most profitable days had passed in those last tour years: that the world was belore us: and tho we may be tar away the memories oi those dear old High School days will ever be with us.

M. t t t t ',., 'l'HE CRIMSC JN Class Prophecy. Last night, Oh classmates, l dreamed a dream which you shall interpret according to your own wisdom. While Morpheus held me in magic spell l visited the oracle ol Apollo at Delphi and thus addressed the aged prophet, Great Sage schooled in signs and mysteries, you who know the destinies ol all men, give me hearing . l come to you lrom the Attica High School, the representative ol the Senior Class ol 1907, to learn ot you the destiny ot each ol its illustrious members. Thereupon the prophet took me into a large room at one end ol which hung a large mirror. Lookin said the sage, ln yon glass you may behold the whole world as may be seen by the stars ten years hence. As l looked disappointment came over me, lor strain my eyes as l would, they could not penetrate the haze which overspread the mirroris sur- lace,but gradually a lorin took shape and then became lamiliar. Most natural indeed seemed his air ol care and responsibility, tor it was none other than Murray Ray. I True, 0 prophet, l said, he was used to wearing an anxious brow, being president ol the class and manager ol 'The Crimson., But what makes this haggard, careworn brow? The prophet, to whom it was given to know all things, answered, He has become the manager ol a wholesale shoe house and the duties ol his great establishment had caused his anxious brow. Then l wondered where l could lind Lillian Voliva. Scarce had the thought come to my mind when she appeared in the glass. Even it it had not been lor her cap and apron and the red cross on her sleeve,l would have known by her air ol sweet abstraction that she had given her lite to nursing the sick and dying. Two new lorms thrust themselves within my range ol vision. lt needed no second glance to tell me they were Mae Baker and Grace Clement. Seeing TI-IE CRINISON my surprise at the benevolence which radiated from every part oi their being, the Prophet explained to me that they had become the patronesses oi a Foundling's Institute . Oscar Harmon next came in view, his head at a most proud and haughty angle, his eyes cast upward as it measuring incalculabie distancee, I asked Why doesnt he carry his head as beiits a meek and humble man? To which the prophet answered telling me that he had become a great archi- tect, living in New York. He is in imagination gazing at his seventy-five story, tire prooi building, that he has just invented and the song you hear him absent mindedly humming is the old Glee Club song When Daphue Sails With Me . Next l saw a large throng, and Mary Williams standing before them, her lips moving and her manner lull oi excitement. The prohet explained to me that she was unfolding to them problems on woman suffrage. The wonderful glass then revealed to me Erma Thomas and Herbert Hunter. They had become two very brilliant people. He was inventing wonderful puzzles and she was writing witty sayings for the newspapers. But where , I asked, is Louis Thompson? The prophet answered Yonder he is. Alas, his rash being incited by his success in writing son- nets and in drawing illustrations in the History Class at school: he has vain- ly tried to make a living by writing poetry and making artistic productions which the magazines would not accept. He has iinally become a iirst class pugilist and behold! the glass reveals him lighting one round. Next a stately form stood clearly beiore me, a form which combined all the charms oi a Julia Marlowe, Viola Allen and Sarah Bernhardt. On in- quiring irom the prophet I learned that it was Elizabeth Allen. From the adoring glances the multitude cast at her I realized that she had become the greatest tragedy actress other time. Before she passed out ol view I saw a cone shaped lorm slowly descending to the earth and who should step irom it but Russell Newlin. Behold, said the prophet, the 'wi t , TIEIE CRINISON greatest inventor ol air ships ol his day and age. ' l was heginning to wonder where the rest ol my class mates were, when with a sudden tlash Addie Foster appeared. She was a good old school mam a teacher in Ye deestrict schulef' The glass next revealed to me Katie Lemper. The prophet explained to me her scholarly air, by saying that shewas studying in Germany, pre- paring hersell lor a teacher in the Greater Attica High School. lwondered then where Dulcie Allen was. At once she appeared, her arms ladened with volumes, one ot them tell and as it iluttered open l heheld her name on the title page, the author oi many great historical novels. She passed lrom view and a thin haze again came over the glass, hut it parted. See, said the sage, one other ot your class mates, Robert Col- vin. Surrounded by riches oi all kinds---his summer and winter homes, his servants, automohiles and every luxury one could ask tor: true millionaire in every sense ol the word. He passed out ot my sight. The mist closed again. Eagerlyl strained my eyes hoping to see my own lorm reflected in the mirroris depths. lmploringly I looked at the prophet. Were there indeed limits to a magicians power? tHe' moved his hand as it to clear away the mist that was steadily hecoming more dense. And l leaned lorward in one last tense moment ol expectation. Slowly a taint lorm appeared, then with the intentness ot my desire, the mirror suddenly broke and l was awake in my own room staring into theldarlmess. Goldie C. Reece. t t i THE CRINISON Junior History. HERBERT FOSTER, President. GLADYS MARTlN, Historian ln the tall ol the year '04 a group ol twenty-tive boys and girls entered the High School as Freshmen. How exalted we lelt as we looked at the Eighth-graders in the seats on our right, yet too we lelt rather diminutive our- selves as we gazed about and saw the Juniors and Seniors. How lar away that double row ol seats, sacred to the Seniors did look! Would we ever reach it? But we soon lound consolation lrom such ruetul thought in the joyous occupation ot inscribing our namesin every book with A. H. S. '08 attached. Near the middle oi the term we donated curtains to the assemhly room which are to this day- classed among the artistic decorations ol that room. At the end oi our Freshman year came the first parting ot the ways. A lew remained while some lelt school entirely, consequently the following year when we assembled we found our ranks somewhat thinned. There was not much done by the class as a whole during this year but we all settled down to work, determined to win out. We began to see during the Junior year that some of our number were budding geniuses with great futures belore them. L. S. we saw was amathe- matician without rival lin the classy while C. F. was the Latin shark. Then too we could loretell in J. C. a luture historian while A. T. thought English work was lovely. The Junior year may well be called the climax ot our H. S. course lor we have neither the giddiness oi the Freshmen and Sophs or the dignity Q7 ot the Seniors. During this year we became very literary. We commenced the subject ol debating under our English teacher. It was at this time that we won a victory over the Seniors on immigration while they put a feath- er in their caps on the Telegraph vs. Telephone. A little while belore the Christmas holidays we decided to edit a paper. THE CRIMSON Atter a great deal otdeliheration it was named alter its illustrious predecessor, The Idler . We are now nearing the close ol our Junior year but we know that many good times are yet in store lor us this year. What the luture holds lor us we cannot tell, we do not know what will be disclosed to us when the veil is removed from before our eye, swhether happiness or sorrow be our lot, -G. E. M.

Affiliation With Chicago University. A year ago last March the Attica high school was visited by Prot. Paul 0. Kern ot the University oi Chicago. The purpose oi his visit was to in- spect our high school to determine whether or not we should be placed on their list oi co-operating schools. The following June a letter was received by Superintendent' Layton in which it was stated that the Board ot University Relations had voted to place us on their list ot co-operating schools. For some time previous to this we had desired to be thus recognized. and while the studentship oi the school in most respects had a reputation pos- sibly worthy ot a larger school the equipment ot the science department was below the required standard. Last spring all departments ot the school stood the test oi a rigorous examination. The standard oi the work in all the classes had been raised and the laboratory equipment had been increased and improved. When it is known that there are two hundred and twenty-one commis- sioned high schools in the state and oi this number only twenty-six are ac- credited by the University oi Chicago,this recognition can be better understood. According to the provisions oi the commission, til all the graduates ol the high school presenting the University certificate signed by the superintend- ent and the teachers oi the high school will be admitted to the iirst year ol the Junior College oi the University without entrance examination: t2l the high school principal has the privilege ot nominating a candidate for a scholarship in the University trom each oi the graduating classes: CD the superintendent '-YT sits- 3 . AERA it J , ...J. E l i l I l i TI-IE CRINISON and high school teachers are members ol the Annual Educational Conference held at the University: 149 our high school has the privilege oi sending can- didates to take part in the prize examinations in Latin, Greek, Mathematics and English, the prize being a scholarship covering the tuition tees in the Universitytor one year: i57 our high school may send two representatives, one boy and one girl, to compete in the Annual Declamation Contest at the University, the prize being a scholarship covering the tuition tees in the Uni- versity ior one year. We are glad to be thus recognized by so great an institution as the University oi Chicago. It shows that we are maintaining high standards ol scholarship and teaching and it gives us the advantages that must come from a close relationship with a great university. The tact that the work which our students now do tits them to enter the University ol Chicago will serve 'as an inducement tor many ol them to become students there. The privilege ol competing in the declamation contests will be an incentive to more earnest ei- lort on the part ot the students in the department ot Public Speaking. The opportunity to take part in the prize examination in Latin, Mathematics and English will be a strong motive lor more thorough work in these departments: and the tact that the nomination ol a student from the senior class lor a schol- arship in the University is based on the record ot the student lor the tour years ol his high school course will necessarily have a lavorable inlluence on the general spirit ol the school, which is determined mainly, so lar as the stu- dents are concerned, by their industry and selt-control. J. E. L. THE CRIMSON DEBATEQ3 Senior:Junior Literary Society. The classes in junior and senior English have organized a literary so- ciety. Utticers have been elected and a great deal oi interest is taken in the work, since each class strives tor supremacy. The society will hold its public meetings at intervals trom now until the close ot the school year. The iirst meeting was held in the music room oi the school on Monday, Dec. 17, 1906. The tollowing program was given: Music-Selected - - - - A Girls' Glee Club Reading- A Telephone Courtship -'--- Lillian Voliva Debate--Resolved, That the Telegraph is More Universally Usclul Than the Telephone, Attirmalive- Negative- Frank Feuerstein Robert Colvin Belle Plant Mabel Kerr Jessie Clark Louis Thompson Music-Selected - - - ---- Boys' Glee Club Recitation- .ludge and witncssu ---- Albert Cobb Debate-Resolved, That immigrants Are a Delriment to the United States.

Briggs, Rev. W. D. Vater and Mrs. J. E. Layton, who kindly consented to serve on the committee in the absence oi Rev. Mr. Owen. Each member oi the rival teams delivered stirring speeches. The seniors won the tirst debate by a score ol 2 to 1, and the juniors won the sec- ond debate by a score oi 3 to 0. Our first public meeting was a genuine success in every way.-idler. TI-IE CRHVISON Jimie's Pro Circus Escapade. 'liimien had been saving up his money ever since Buck , the bill post- er, had posted the multi-colored bills ol bare-back riders in pink tights riding on white horses, trapeze performers, racing horses, trick ponies, educated mon- keys, dancing bears, noble lions, camels and all the decendants oi the occu- pants oi the ark, with acres oi tents and everythingdthat goes to make up a great circus. Now Jimie had been saving his money lor weeks and had ransacked the neighborhood lor old bones, copper, iron. rubber and rags and by dint oi great economy had amassed twenty-seven cents. Since he had somehow acquired the habit ol working he decided to make enough money to buy a glass ot green lemonade and a brick ot pop-corn. in the thriving little metropolis oi Crown Center there was a lot ot rivalry between the East and West endersn which were the Hiellers oi those two sides oi town. There was always something lor the two tactions to quarrel over and now that the circus was coming to town there was something sure enough to scrap over. Jimie Riley and Pete Johnson had followed the bill poster around and they had spent hours looking at the pictures. But here was where the trouble be- gan. Just across the commons in iront oi Jimie's house was a bill board. As soon as the pictures were pasted on the West Enders called a meeting back oi Jimievs barn and passed a law governing the East Enders to the etiect, that should any East Ender be caught looking at the pictures on the bill board near Jimieis home, he would git a lickinu. This law was kept a secret. But the east enders made a similar law concerning the bill board in iront oi the boot and shoe store oi Fatty Bunsons' father. The West Enders iound it out and oi course it was no time till the West Enders were trying to get their courage screwed up to the pitchn to go and stand in iront ot the East Enders' bill board. The aiternoon before the circus the West Enders were gathered back ot THE CRIMSON the Riley barn doing various circus stunts. The boys were riding Old Bill , the tamily horse, at a gallop standing up, while others were skinning the cat on a trapeze. They had been doing this tor some time when Jacky Clark came running up breathless and yelled, Oh tellers, Fatty and the East Enders are-down in tront ol Fatty's storef-an' l passed them an'--an' Fatty hol- lered tu' me-an'-he said that I wuz atraid tu come an'-look at their bill board. An' then l said that l guessed l wasn't and that he wuz atraid to look at our'en-an' he sez he wuz'ent an' he an' the gangs comin' over- right now too. The performance had long since stopped. The tellers were all excitement, they put the horse in the barn double quick and ran around to the tront yard and hid back ot the white washed fence to wait tor the east enders appearence. Suddenly they came into sight, the west enders made a rush from the yard but it ended before it had gone lar. Some seemed alraid, but Jimie was anxious for the tray and he started out to tight the East End- ers by himsell. At this the other tellers , the East Enders, became alarmed and started to make a rapid retreat. This encouraged the West Enders and away they tore alter the others. Poor Fatty was too plump to run last and Jimie caught him in a few jumps and a tight began. During the progress ol the scrap Fatty, the corpu- lent, was considerably beaten up-a bloody nose, a black eye, besides being minus a tooth and his clothes being torn. Soon he was given a chance to run and he certainly availed himselt ot the opportunity, and went howling down the middle ot the road with his big, red uhanky over his nose. The West Enders then retired to the barn to discuss the battle. ln glowing words they were describing the way Jimieis list lit on Fatty's nose when Jimie, the hero, heard his mothers voice and something in the sound warned him ot impend- ing danger, On entering the house he beheld Fatty's mother holding the blubbering Fatty at her arm's length and talking like a phonograph. dest loolcyf' she said, hes a purty sight, lmus' say. ltis a pity that my little boy canit be seen on the street without gettin' a beaten. It seems to rw I l t t l 1 1 . THE CRIIWSON me somethin' ort to be done. Well, said Jimies mother, l quite agree with you and it James is to blame he shall be punished severely. Blamel l guess he is ter blame, I wuz jist walkin'-l--ln. Fattyis words were choked by a jerk lrom his mother. Shut yer mouth, whos doin' this? his mother snorted. My, heis a purty lookin' peach, snickered Jimie. dest hear that, yelled Fattyis loving mother, ain't that insultinif' James, reproved his mother, did you do that? Yes'm, I guess I did a purty good job. What tor? Cause he looked at the pictures on our bill board. James, for this you will have to stay home irom the circus, not leave the yard and whitewash the fence. At this Jimie wilted. But Fatty's mother being a sympathizer oi capital punishment could not see any justice in this. Nevertheless she had to be contented and her mis- sion being performed leit, still holding Fatty by the arm. Jimie was not expecting this punishment, he pleaded with his mother but to no avail. Jimie went out in the yard, mixed up some whitewash and started at his job with a vengeance and nearly had it finished by supper time. The circus came in the next morning but he could not see them unload nor could he go to the iield to watch them put up the great tents. He finished his work by noon. and from the gate saw the parade a block away, heard the bands and saw the crowds, that was all. ln the afternoon the crowd began to gather on their way to the circus. Several ot the West Enders went by and spoke to him. aside from that no one seemed to notice his torlorn countenance. Far down the road a bulky iigure was approaching. James recognized it. It was Fatty. At this sight James' iigure stiffened---what a chance. Fatty would pay a penalty more than missing the show: the picture ol Fatty with dust covered clothes and a bloody pug nose and looking like a summer ol a Kan- L 4 TI-IE CRI MSON sas cyclone flashed through his mind. Luckily his mother saw the familiar figure coming. She called Jimie to the house and awaited developments, Surely Fatty had no object in coming to pay them another visit. The two, mother and son, watched him come slantwise up the wall: with a humble look on his moon shaped Visage, he neared the door and with no salutation meekly began, but not till he had shot a scared look at his erstwhile con- queror, Mrs. Riley---can---can Jimie go to the show? This was a good start and feeling more comfortable as Jimie showed no signs oi hostility- lt wuz---all my fault---I done it. He showed signs oi weakening and Jimieis mother came to the rescue. There, there, lthinli you have both payed the penalty ol your luss, but before going you must promise never to do it again. Now, James, change your clothes and go to the circus with Fatty. The words were hardly spoken when, with a yell, he was in the house claw- ing the air on his way up-stairs. In a few minutes he reappeared, dressed in his best, new suspenders, a shirt armor like with starch, his coat over his arm and a great smile adorning his ireckled lace. Alter bestowing a bear like hug on his mother he called Fatty from his trance on the step and down the road they went, Jimie whistling Where, Oh where has my little dog goneiin, with Fatty reluctantly following unable to keep up with Jimie, while from the lront gate, apron over her arm, Jimie's mother watched them dis- appear down the road with a smile lingering about her mouth.

TI-IE CRIMSCJN l'1'EAt1!JMEt- A Historical Sketch of the Alumni. Every year, in our little city, in the early days ol summer, there is a merry gathering oi the members and iriends oi the Attica High School Alum- ni Association. Each year another little hand is welcomed into this Asso- ciation with congratulations that each memher ot it has reached this round in the educational ladder and with hopes that on that new plane to which this ladder may lead him he will also he successtul. We ascrihe to each new hand the emotions we experienced when we had advanced this tar. What pride and happiness were ours when we were the new ones welcomed! We felt as though we had reached the highest plane ohtainahle and yet we look hack lovingly, longingly on the preceding tour short years ot High School, years that we once thought would never end, hut which are now grouped as pleasant memories among the things which we must leave in the past. For it is at this point in our climhing that many oi us must leave school-days behind and hegin putting our learning, and our strength and ideals, gained through our iormer training in honest worlc, to the test in a hroader field. The sculptor patiently carves out his ideas in marhle, the painter depicts his with light and shade, the musician embodies his in sound, the poet weaves his into verse and in our school-days we expressed ours in composition. Now we can only live them day hy day. We must patiently weave them into and emhody them in our very existence hy hlending the lights and shadows ot lite into harmony. So every year when we welcome the new members, treshirom the class- room, we take each hy the hand, look into his eyes, see there the hope and THE CRIMSON inspiration for the future. We trust that the inspiration will give to him the courage and strength to fulfill this hope through all his after life. The old members we meet again and with them renew recollections of school-days: our pranks and punishments, our failures and triumphs are re- called, our enterprises in these later days are discussed. There are bright lights, flowers of the early summer, songs, speeches and joyous laughter always at the reunions. But as we meet together, once each year, we find some faces missing. Some are busy in distant fields of work, while some we shall not see until, in that land where ideals are not so hard to realize, their outstretched hands clasp ours and they welcome us to the last reunion from whence we can look back on the lessons learned and the work we leave behind in the great, grand school of life. -Inez Hatton, '00. .3 .93 .5 On a warm June afternoon in 1875 the classes of 1878 and '74 held the iirst business meeting of the Attica High School Alumni Association. We felt that the dignity ol the Alumni rested on our shoulders, and fired by a zeal inspired by our beloved trustee, Mr. Joseph Poole, we determined to do our best. But there were difficulties to overcome: we tried the front door of the school building where we were to assembleg it was locked and the janitor could not be found, so we were obliged to hold the meeting on the front step. Un account of the fewness of our members, honors were easy. The writer was elected president by acclamation, Anna Aylesworth was made secretary, and lda Greenwood was elected historian, a post that she was well qualified to till, being a natural humorist. Likewise a committee was ap- pointed to draw up by-laws and to rent a suitable room for the reception. On the evening of the next day, June 3rd, we held our first relmion at the Fremont House, where the Sterling Remedy Co. is now situated. We have met in many places, in the opera house, the hotels and in the school TI-IE CR1MSC'J'N chapel, which was the most homelike ol all. Lately, the Lithia Hotel has been the place ot meeting, and it aitords ample room. At that iirst meeting there was an address by the president, and toasts were given by several citizens who had kindly consented to be present. The proud and happy graduates served us in the dining room, and our guests departed with a cordial teeling oi good iellowship. Thus closed our iirst re- union. For a iew years we had a great many diiliculties, the worst ot all was the piano. Un one occasion a humble bed quilt served to keep oli the rain. But the saddest day to the treasurer was when the receipts showed a deticit, and each must go down into his pocket and make good. The Association is selt supporting now, and has 207 members. Miss Kate Finney entertained the class oi '81 at the school building and thus kept the Alumni ship ailoat, lor which she deserves the sincerest thanks ot all. in the year ot 1892 Mrs. Baker was with us, and we pre- sented her with a small token ot regard. Many members cannot attend these annuals, as we axe scattered trom Washington state to Porto Rico, and, with- out the roll call, some might be torgotten as the years go by. These absent ones occasionally write briet letters to be read at the meeting, which are en- joyed by all. in the nineties, a tew scenes trom one ot Shakespeares plays were giv- en at the reunion. The Alumni that have become widely known are lew, due, doubtless, to the tew years our school has been established, and not to the lack ot native genius. Walter Aylesworth was a pupil here, but finished elsewhere, and has risen to distinction as an electrician, working with Edison at one time. Those among our midst we all know. Many names unknown tai lame are yet soldiers tighting tor the right, and trusting in the Father oi us al. Thus closing the short sketch, we are gratetul that we organized an Alumni Association thirty-three years ago. -Alice Rogers Warwick. l r THE CRIIVISON School Society. The Attica high school students have indulged so far this year in tew entertainments or any kind oi social functions, and athletics have been the excuse tor the lew that have been given. When the Attica high school girls heard that the high school boys in- tended to play loot ball with the boys oi the Delphi high school on a certain Saturday at Attica and that the visiting team could not go home until late that night, they decided it would be a shame it nothing was done to entertain them. Then Miss Cenieve Kullmer, a former high school student, opened her home to the loot ball boys and basket ball girls. They danced and played cards and every one had a good time, judgingitrom reports. ln the contusion, however, in making their train the Delphi boys did not get to ex- press their gratitude, evidently to their own satisfaction, so the iirst oi the next week several oi the girls received letters or postals from them. and-some are coming yet. When the Attica and Covington girls played basket ball on 0ct. 26 at Attica,the boys, not to be outdone, played host at the home oi Herbert Foster. They played cards until they were tired and then the boys served a splendid lunch. Yes, they served it, but certainly, and with lots ot respect to the boys, that was all they had to do with it. There was dancing later in the evening and when the party broke up, the Covington girls certainly did not seem lach- ing in appreciation oi the boys' hospitality. When the Peru and Attica basket ball teams met at Attica Dec. 14 the girls and boys joined iorces and gave a dance in the opera house to which the older girls and boys were invited as well as the high school students. -Lillian M.

The energetic Juniors are editors ot the idler , a high school pa- per which is issued once each month. The articles, strictly up-to-date and original, are written hy the memhers ot the '08 class, and are read with interest by every patron. The humorous section is especially good, and hy the poetry which appeared in the tirst is- sues, it is evident that there is a budding genius in the class tor next year. The ldleris exchanges keep our school in close touch with other high schools. which is always to he desired. As to the material used tor the paper, The ldleri' itselt has justified the quality hy saying that thisfiitsftirst year ot existence, is but a humble tie- ginning, in which there is always room tor improvement. Now there are ahout seventy-tive subscribers, and, with the nnmtmer and grade ot the advertisements, the tirst year ot The ldleri' promises to he a tinancial success as great as its literary tavor. And we, the senior class ot 1907, sincerely hope that the good tortune and the rapid progress ot The idler will continue.---Ed. , THE CRIMSON 'fd .N f' ' l , ' ,, X r ,N 'gf 'N X9 .If - af fi! 9 'X ' ,d v 7 1,4 5 i 469 j N Q12 gm.

A tew days aiter school opened in the tall, a meeting was called and trom the candidates lor the team the tollowing oilicers were elected: Harmon, captain: Colvin, manager: and Reece, treasurer. Grounds were obtained and practice was held in the school yard. Doctor Becket was secured as coach, and trom the available material picked a team that endeavored to hold the ,pres- tige gained by iormer representatives oi the Attica high school. Tho the new rules iavored us, the teams played were ol superior cali- ber, making the season a hard one. A schedule ot, tive games was arranged: ol these, two were played on the home grounds. The lirst team played was that ot the high school ol Rossville, ill., on Oct. 6. The tact that we were outweighed iitteen pounds to the man only spurred us on to greater ettorts. it was the first game tor several ot the players, but pulling together, and with abundance ot pluck, we held our op- ponents to a score ol 0 to 0 in the lirst halt. But having played ourselves out we were unable to repeat the pertormance, and the luck was with the op- posing team, the game ending with a score ot 15 to 0 in iavor Rossville. There was a great deal ot punting, Attica usually having the best ol the argument. The open playing ol the teams greatly reduced the danger ol in- jury to the players, making the game more interesting to the spectators. The forward pass was tried, but lack ol knowledge in handling it usually brought the attempts to failure. The next game was with the Delphi high school at Attica Oct. 13. it was a perlect day, tho unlucky by the calendar. The teams were evenly matched, tho Attica was outweighed. By silent signals Delphi scored alter tour minutes ot play, but alter that Attica tore them up time alter time, carry- ing them back, blocking their kicks, and making spectacular plays them- l r N N w w 4 Y Q1 N L , . , Q 'FH 'IC UR I B181 JN seives, when in possession oi the hail.

To this end the team was organized earlier than usual, and on March 6, '07, the following ofticers were elected: Thompson. captain: Harman, manager, and Newiin, treasurer. Those who had played in last year's team were nearly all present and with some of the promising freshmen in the lineup, a formidable team was formed. The school diamond is in good shape, and with very little trouble it can be put into excellent con- dition. Prof. Mullinnix has consented to coach the team, and from the fast in- field of last year a faster one is expected. Fast men are trying for positions in the outfield, and from them good batters and fielders can be picked. The teams were arranged, and after several weeks of hard practice. rainy weather interfered, and stopped practice for a week. But as soon as the ground hardened work was resumed and everybody got their wings in good condition. The first game of the season was played with Covington on their diamond. SCHEDULE.

With Miss Strang as coach and Erma Thomas as manager the girls oi the A. H. S. who were interested in hasket hall, went to worlc with a will early in the lall. Considering the dilliculties, the girls have done splendidly. Since the A. H. S. building is not equipped with a gymnasium, they had to practice in the city hall or the opera house. Neither oi these places were satisfactory, hut nheggars cannot he choosersn. On Oct. 26 they played their iirst public game with their old loes. the Covington H. S. girls. At the end ol the second halt the score was 6 to 6. According to rules the tie was played oil and the iinal score was 9 to 6 in lavor ol the Attica girls, ior they scored one lield and one loul throw in play- ing oii the tie. The second game was with Peru H. S. girls on Dec. 14. Attica and Peru had never played against each other lmeiore, and there was a gread deal oi interest taken in the game. The score at the end oi the tirst halt was 9 to 2 in iavor oi Attica. Then the Peru girls humped themselves as the boys say, and hy some tine playing made the score 13 to 14 in their tavor. When the hall was thrown up hetween the centers tor the last time, and the time- lceeper yelled, Just one minute more , the Attica girls were desperate and they played with all their might, making a haslcet helore time was called. Again Attica was victorious with the score oi 14 to 15. The third game, which proved to be a hoodoo, was played with the Danville girls. This was about the hardest lought game ot the three. and the score was 4 to 4 at the end oi the iirst hall. ln the second hall, however. the Danville girls held the big end ot the score which was 7 to 8. Not only did Miss Strang and Erma Thomas work hard tor and with the team, hut Miss Della Osborn, who acted as either referee or umpire, helped the girls in many ways. t t Grace Dunkin, F.

The tollowing were elected: Thompson, captain: Foster, manager: and Reece. treasurer., A schedule was arranged and practice liegan in the city hall.

They doubled up in aknot when- ever an upper-classman turned his head. The principal was certainly a discour- aged looking man as he gazed out on that mass ol pigtails and cotton tops- mamma's boys and papa's girls. ln this class it would evidently take a lot ol dig- ging to unearth any brains. Ot course there were a iew who were dignified and up-to-date, and lrom this select lew, a president was elected. She immediately took the reins: a little rough on the girls, a mash on the boys, and she had the treshmen up and doing. The girls began to look sedate, the boys began to look sweet, the teachers looked pleased, but the upper-classmen looked wise. ln the tall olthegnext year a very dilierent set oi pupils took their seats in the sophomore room: most ot the boys had donned a cross between long and short trousers. The girls' skirts had started down hill with their shoe tops in view, and only an occasional scared look could be seen on the pant ol some boy when among higher classmen. ln athletics the boys ventured to play a little tennis: they watched loot ball at a distance with horror, but they summoned courage enough in the spring to play pigtail in base ball, It was certainly a year ot gradual evo- 'IfHIfI CRIBISON lution in manners, customs and to a cer- ',Gf,gA tain extent in scholarship.
