ATWOOD ILLINOIS ATWOOD ILLINOIS SENIOR NOTES Of course the class of nineteen hundred aud twelve is the finest ever. It has more members than any other class since the Atwood High School has had a four year course, for there are nine of us—seven girts and two boys. That very fact would make 1912 a tine class if nothing else did for it is an established fact that girls are better than boys Even Mr. Hollister, the High School inspector concedes that, since he told one of the school board members that our High School showed improvement every time he came. What else could he mean but that this year’s graduating class shows an improvement over last year’s, of which seven-eighths were boys. A famous definition—A nunnery is a place where they keep crazy people. Lost:—On or before March 28, some place about the school house, one perfectly good decimal point. Finder please return immediately to the Physics class as they need one badly. Miss Koss—“Carl, how do you punctuate a quoted passage?” Carl Hassig—“Oh, 1 put exclamation marks around it.” Mr. Madden thinks Linda has a true scientific spirit. SIGHTS WORTH SEEING Linda not good-natured. Carl with blacking on his nose. Pauline—not giggling. Winifred with a low grade in Physics. SEVERAL LITTLE THINGS WH.CH MIGHT MAKE MR. MADDEN (’ROSS This—In Physics Class—“One of the ways heat is transmitted is by convention.” (Probably a political con vent ion.) Or this—The direct radiation of the sun on top of a mountain is more intense than at the base because the rays haven’t so far to go.” Carburr-ator for carburetor. Heard in lhe German II class: “He penetrated himself through the crowd. When Miss Koss says, “Carl sit on tlie floor,” does she mean it? Why does that Cicero class have to recite out in the main room when nobody has her lesson? How tbo� e s� irls in the Cicero class do hate prose day! Wonder where the girl's Baske Ball team is. Miss Boss—“Carl, if Hamlet had killed the king, while he was praying, what would have happened?” Carl—(wearily) “The play would have ended ” Pauline had an auto and the auto wouldn’t auto as an auto ought to a u to. When a blackberry is red it is green. We have been dreadfully troubled with a mouse in our English class. The first time we saw him. Mr. Mouse contented himself with running hack and forth close to the wall, while we were reciting. Miss Ross didn’t say anything but we all knew what she was thinking. Next day he became more bold and seemed very much interested in the waste basket about two feet from Miss Ross This time he nearly drove Helen. Linda and Florence into hysterics. Miss Ross bore it bravely but it is reported that when Mr. Mouse paid English II a short visit. Miss Bennett sat on her feet. Later, Nelle found all that was left of our little grey friend in her desk and nearly fainted from the shock but alas, the seniors were not there to see it. Florence is especially fond of fish ing worms. Mildred Riggs. WINIFRED WILSON President Class 12. President Alethenian M2.

JUNIOR NOTES The Junior class lias only live members; but nevertheless that is one better than four. Paul Fisher is both a distinguished orator and a star basket ball piayer. It is said that he scored 51 points in a single oration, and delivered 3 pages of basket ball at one i ame. Ada wishes she could always be a Junior. It is much nicer to be a young Junior than an old Senior anyhow. ‘The following are some of the methods of reciting Caesar’—“I looked that word up and couldn’t find it.” “I know what it means but I can’t trans'ate it.” I couldn't get no sense out of this passage.” Following these remarks there can be heard a terrible gnashing of teeth. Then Miss Ross having described an ellipse after the name of this brilliant scholar, kindly asks: “Who can give a reasonable translation for this passage.” Such apparel as fur coats, felt boots, blankets, and feather beds are worn in the geometry class, zero being a frequent thing here. ‘IN THE HISTORY CLASS' “The massacre at Glencoe was a terrible thing.” “He died after breathing his last and never fully recovered.” “Wolf and Fox were the opposing generals at Quebec ” Once just after the History class was over Mr. Madden was heard to say several times, apparently to himself: “Well geese will be geese ” We wondered what he was talking about. the modern coffee house —THE LABORATORY Pro.—“Fisher, what is a spark plug?” Fisher—“It is a—er-r-a—Well I don’t— Pro —“What is it? Don’t hesitate” Fisher—(speaking low and very rapidly) “a tall hat that a young man wears when he goes to see his best girl. The (Great) sophs are inclined to laugh at (little) Freshies and call them greenies, babes, etc., but when they (the Sophs) have seen a huge zero, with its ever lean and hungry looks and wide open mouth, approaching, they have been known to melt away in tears hide in a waste basket, or run home to mother. Tug especially. Maud and Fisher have been able to learn a few German words, especially the following: “Ich liebe dich”and “Lieben Sie mich?” “Fifty multiplied by one hundred is five hundred.”—A learned senior. The Junior class is especially honored by having as one of its members, Paul Fisher, who will represent the high school in the oration tins year Annie Laurie sometimes gets civics and physics mixed. Once when magnetism was being discussed in physics Mr. Madden asked Annie Laurie what her opinion on the subject was. She said she was in favor of Taft and woman suffrage. The following conversation was heard by a Junior after the Sophs had an examination. First Soph—What did you get on the exam? Second Soph—(with a metallic ring in her voice similar to a dishpan falling on concrete) “Thirty. What did you get” First Soph (innocently)—“Only one hundred ” Maud is in the habit of getting things mixed without noticing them. This happens especially in the Physics class. But she is so innocent; at least that is what Fisher says. junior motto ‘Work diligently when the teacher’s eye is upon you.’ Favorite song—Old Black Joe. hekschel baker BASKET BALL Shortly after the school term began the Piatt County Athletic Association met and decided to adopt basketball as a sport. At this meeting a schedule was arranged between the high schools of Monticello, Mansfield, Cerro Gordo, Bernent, Del and, LaPlace, Hammond and Atwood. The county was divided into two parts the Northern division, Monticello, Mansfield and Deland and the Southern division, Bement, LaPlace, Hammond, Cerro Gordo and Atwood. Each high school was to play two games with the other teams in its respective division, and the team winning the championship in its division was to play the winners of the other division for the County Championship. At the first of the school term the basketball squad under the supervision of Prof. Madden began practicing. None of the boys had ever played basketball before but everyone did his best to learn. After about two weeks of practice the lineup was chosen to play the first game. Fisher and Hassig, forwards, Wilson, center and Suffern and Biggs guards The first game was at Cerro Gordo and after the team had recovered from its first stage fright won easily by the score of 32 to 2. Encourged bv.this the team practiced harder than ever for the next game which was at Bement. Bement had always proved a dangerous rival and the boys took every precaution to be in good shape. The game turned out to be a very poor exhibition of basketball, Atwood winning 38 to 13. Had it not been for the excellent work of Biggs, the heavyweight guard, the game might have gone otherwise, for the other players were not up to their usual standard. The weather getting rather unfavorable for outdoor sport, the team moved indoors and the following Satuiday played LaPlace. Atwood won this game by the score of 38 to 24. Fisher’s playing at left forward was excellent, shooting 18 points. The La-Piace guards showed remarkable skill in handling the ball. This semi round in the southern division placed Atwood ahead with three victories, Bement and LaPlace tied for second place with one defeat apiece. In the northern division Mansfield was having everything its own way easily winning their games. The next game was between Bement and Atwood. This was an important game for if Bement was defeated they would be put out of the race, if not they would be strong contenders for the little. Bement was defeated in a fast game by tne score of 27 to 21 Everyone on the Atwood team played well and their fast team work was all that saved them from defeat at the hands of thet.heavier Bement team. The second game with LaPlace was the surprise of the season. The team because of its walkaway in the first game was too confident and was a little out of training. In ihe first half they held their own but in the last five minutes of play LaPlace ran away with them and won bv ti e score of 27 to 17. Biggs, the right guard, was so unfortunate as to have to plav against a man who was about one-half his size and twice as fast. This forward’s playing was sensational throughout the game, he shooting over 20 points. The next game was the last of the schedule, Cerro Gordo at Atwood. Atwood won by ihe score of 99 to 10. Several of the goals wt re shot without a Cerro Gordo player having touched the ball. This finished the season leaving LaPlace and Atwood tied for first place in the southern division and Mansfield winners in the northern division. A series of games was held in Atwood to settle the three cornered tie. These games were played in the M. VV. A. hall in which none of the Atwood team had ever been permitted to practice. The first game was between Mansfield and Atwood. Nothing was known of Mansfield except that it had not lost a game for the season. At the start of the game by a fesv lucky goals, Mansfield obtained a lead which they kept throughout the game. The score at the end being 29 to 35. Metzler and Hart were the greatest contributors to the score for Mansfield besides doin- good defensive work After the game was over a banquet was given by the students of the A. H. S. in hono'-of ihe visiting teams. The tir.-t game the next day was be tween LaPlace and Mansfield. Again the unexpi cted happened, LaP ace winning in a walkaway b a score of 38 to 19. The Mansfield team set mid exhausted from their previt ns encounter and played pooi ly. In this game Jone«. the crack right forward for LaPlace, starred getting 12 points. The last game vvasbet ween LaPlace and Atwood, il LaPlace won this game thev would get the Champion ship, but if Atwood defeated tlnm each of the three teams would have a claim on the title There wassome doubt as to whether Biggs, owing to his weight could guard the star left forward from LaPlace so Greve an eighth grader, was put in his place. Greve had been doing some good work at center for the grade team, but this was his first attempt at guard. At the start ot the game Atwood fairly ran away from LaPlace, using their signals from center to a great advantage, the first half ending with the score of 17 to 7. In the last few minutes of the game LaPlace finished strongly but the lead was too great for them to overcome. Atwood winning by the score of 35 to29. Fisher’s basket shooting was wonderful in this game, getting almost every throw and adding 26 points to the score The guard work of Greve and Suffern was another feature of the game the two LaPlace forwards getting only 17 points. This game left the race tor the championship in the same oid three cornered tie, since each team lost a game and won one. The next venture of the team was to enter the big basketbal I tournament at Decatur where the championship of central Illinois was to be decided. Atwood was very unlucky in drawing Peoria Manual Training school for the first game. In the first few games ol the tournament Peoria had won two games easily and were in good shape. They ran away Irom Atwood winning by a score of 48 to 12. Anglesea, a Peoria player, starred in this game, playing the fiist half at center and the last half at right forward getting 22 points. Suffern played an excellent game and had one ot the best men in the tournament to play a-gainst. It was some consolation to the Atwood team and its rooters to see the strong teams from Slate Normal. Streator and Lexingtf n go dow n to defeat in the hands of this Peoiia team by almost as large scores as Atwood was beaten. Many other games were pla}red with tlie neighboring high schools A series of three games were played with an independent Arthur team. Arthur won this series by winning two games. The last game played on Christmas night was very fast and exciting. The score was very close throughout theentire game and at the end of the last half the score was tied 21 to 21. In an extra five minutes of play Arthur won by a score of 23 to 21. Probably the best team that Atwood played was Spark’s Business College of Shelbyville. This team was composed of more experienced and older players and beat Atwood 58 to 29. Although beaten by such a large score the Atwood team began to show that they knew some basketball. Atwood beat the Sullivan High School team in two games and lost one to them. This was quite an honor,for Sullivan is very wellknown in athletic circles, having won the Central Illinois football championship. The first game was a walkaway for Atwood, they winning 31 to 23. The second game played a few weeks later was won by Sullivan 21 to 14. They showed a remarkable improvement in their playing and fairly played Atwood off their feet. The rub game was played in Atwood April 2nd. Sullivan started like a whirlwind and secured a lead of 12 to 0 in the first few minutes of play. Then Capt. Hassig started a rally which was kept going till the end of the first half, the score standing 18 to 12 in Atwood's favor. This took the confidence out of the Sullivan team and the rest of the game was easy for Atwood, winning 35 to 29. The fast work of Captain Hassig was greatly responsible for this victory. Since in the first half he shot iO points which helped to overcome the great lead of Sullivan. Demerit had expressed some dissatisfaction on not being allowed to enter the tournament at Atwood, so the Atwood team resolved to give them another beating. Bernent w as outclassed in every minute of the game, the score standing 26 to 13. This score showed that the team had been learning a little about the game since they had last played Bement. Atwood closed the season on April 8th, playing Brown’s Business College from Decatur. This was a very interesting and exciting game. In the first half the Decatur school obtained a large lead, 27 to 9. But in the next half Atwood made a desperate effort to overcome this but failed, the score being 41 to 51 in favor of Brown’s. The game marked the last appearance of Capt. Hassig in the basket ball team, and his playing was well suited to the occasion. Atwcod played a total of twenty games winning eleven of these being beaten three times by high schools, three times by business colleges and three by independent teams. In every instance, the institution which the opposing team represented w a s much larger than the Atwood High School. Supt. Madden cannot be given too mucli credit for his work in coaching the team He staried out with eight boys, not a one of which had ever played before. By working with these every night he managed to show them a few of the finer points of the game, which were very useful in the games. He also started up a town team which played a few games with the neighboring towns and gave the high school many valuable practice games.

Miss Anna Eddy. Question Box. Dear Miss Eddy: I am a handsome young lad of lfi of whom all the girls seem very fond. Everywhere 1 go girls dock around me vying with one another to capture a few moments of my precious time How can I tell whether they love me tor myself or is it my famous basket ball career and my fine work on the track. As I am very bashful this bothers me a great deal. Ans. Kenneth. (From Elsa's theme) Sir Roger’s love for the widow was undoubtedly one of his weakest points.” I guess Caesar class isn’t very interesting—that accounts for the shot t naps Gertrude so often enjoys at that time. Who won the inter-society basket ball game? ROMANCE LANGUAGE Romance Language, the most popular language of school. For instructions listen at the door of one of our sophomore girls. DISCOVERED The pigeon’s “eternal keel bone,’ by Mr. Madden. WANTED Somebody to teach me French. — Helen What Soph makes you think of a part of working harness? Tug. Kenneth Wilson, our omy boy, made the basket ball team at the begining of the school year and plaved center during the whole sea son. Many games were won by the fine plays of Wilson.

ESSAY THE BIRTH OK A NEW REPCBUC China, the nation toward which the eyes of the whole world have been turned for the past six months is now numbered among the republics of the world. For centuries this great nation has been hampered and prevented from taking its place among the advanced nations of the world principally on account ol its religion. Through the efforts of foreign missionaries chiefly and through contact with western civilization, China has at last awakened and is striving after the western development and culture, and to reach this goal the sooner, the Chinese have found it necessary to rid themselves of their Manclut rulers who have hindered their progress so long. The leading spirit, in bringing about this change in the political affairs of China, is Dr. Sun Yat Sen. This far-seeing Chinaman who has imbibed many of our western ideas, finally brought the revolutionary cause to an issue during the last months of 1911 The people seeineu to think that when the republic was declared they would he free from taxation and many other civil burdens but such is not the case; no government can be carried on without financial means and the enforcements of its laws. The future of this nation the oldest on earth still hangs in the balance. Let us hope that she will succeed in throwing off her chains of slavery, that she may reach out her hands and grasp that which bv right belongs to her. May a new era of peace and prosperity be dawning for China and may she soon take her place among the civilized and christianized nations of the world. F.MMETTE St’FFERX ESSAY SOCI A I. SETT t.EM ENTS Almost every thoughtful and farsighted American citizen of today realizes how great a problem is pre sented by the vast numbers of immigrants from southern Europe who keep pouring each day through the gates of Ellis Island. Naturally, many influences have been at work and much has been accomplished in taking care of these immigrants and in dealing with the problem of Child Labor, but there is no single organization th.it deserves as much credit or has accomplished as much as the Social Settlement. The Social Settlement is a philanthropic organization, composed of earnest men and women with a far sighted vision and a determined purpose. Their vision is of the future when the “problem of the masses” will be no more; their purpose, the sane and organized working out of the problem in the immediate present. Social workers have realized that the only effective way of reaching the people of the slums is by living among them, by seeing, feeling, thinking and reaching ftom their viewpoint. It is only within the last quarter of a century that this impulse has taken definite form. These organizations are not necessarily religious, for they are based on the principle that since all kinds of religious beliefs and no belief at all are to be dealt with, the ends desired can best be obtained by leaving religious questions in the back- ‘• round. Perhaps the charter of Hull House, the pioneer Social Settlement of America, will give a clear idea of their purpose. It reads thus: “To provide a center for a higher civic and social life, to institute and main DEB FIRST NEGATIVE Mr. President, Honorable Judges, Ladies and Gentlemen: in support of the negative it is our purpose to show you that the New Zealand plan of arbitration of labor disputes is not practicable and is also theoretically wrong My col league and I defend the negative side of the question by the following points, which we have proved. That the affirmative have greatly exaggerated the need of compulsory arbitration in labor disputes, since out of 23,798 strikes during a period of 10 years, only about 10 per cent proved harmful to business. That a relation exists between the employer and the employee which would make it impossible to arbitrate labor disputes. That compulsory arbitration would soon lead us into a great slave question. That arbitration of labor disputes has been tried where conditions exist as they are in the United States and it has failed. That it is more of an affair between the parties involved than that of the public, becausea disinterested party could not understand the circumstances on either side. That owing to the unorganized labor conditions it would be impossible to enforce the arbitration decisions without an enormous amount of civil strife which would greatly damage the commercial prosperity of the nation. That the New Zealand plan which they propose is not practicable and is also theoretically wrong. tain educational and philanthropic enterprises, and to investigate and improve the conditions in the industrial districts of Chicago.” This is the object of almos' all the social settlements of our large cities. MILDRED HlfiGS. ATE That strikes do not hold an ambitious laborer from rising in his work. Then, owing to these points, we, the negative, assert that although the usual method of settling strikes was originated centuries ago, modern times and civilization have produced no better way and that compulsory arbitration could not be used in dealing with labor disputes under the present conditions. KENNETH WILSON SECOND NEGATIVE Mr. Chairman, Honorable Judges, Ladies and Gentlemen: It is my purpose to further the arguments of the negative concerning the plan which the speakers of the affirmative have proposed this evening. As the speaker of the affirmative has said, strikes and lockouts are becoming very numerous. But the slight differences which arise between employer and employee, resulting as a rule in onl}7 a two or three days’ walkout are easily settled and the world is none the worse for it. In cases of this type, if a board of arbitration should interfere neith er side would be satisfied. Laborers are so numerous and their occupations so different that ;• strike affects a nation as a whole very slightly. As 1 have said before, owing to the high cost of living, men are often not able to -upport a family, and this occurring in a great many cases at one time, as it always does, a strike is the inevitable outcome. Immigration has had a great influence on labor. For instance the Chinese who immigrated to America in vast hordes could afford to work for much less than our people. In this case would it have been right for our people to have been forced to work for the same rates as the Chinese people? Is this the way the United States shall treat her citizens? If it is, the next step is placing the right to buy and sell laborers in the hands of their employers. In an interview with Samuel Gompers, president of the American federation of labors, George K. Turner says, “a combination of laboiers is not like any other economic association. It does not sell steel, iron or other inanimate things, but the power of labor. All laborers are tree men, and Should enjoy the inalienable rights of free men. None of these are more fundamental than the right of association of tree speech, and a third right—the right to work for whom they please, to quit when they please at any time for any reason or for no reason. If they are deprived of this right, it means that some one else has the ruling power of their labor which means slavery. Therefore in view of these points and those which my colleague has shown, we of the negative contend that compulsory arbitration should not be adopted. HERSCHEL BAKER FIRST AFFIRMATIVE There is an urgent need for some sort of an adequate settlement of labor problems. The continual conflict between an employer and his e rployees is becoming intolerable for the public is coming to realize that whoever stands to gain by a st� ike it stands always to lose. The results of a strike indirectly affecting the consumer as great as the effect upon the parties directly involved in the strike. The only reliable method of settling continual disputes between workingmen and employers and of checking the increasing number of strikes, is arbi- tration. The establishment of a broad of arbitration would not be more than a legitimate interference by state or public in affairs not within their our province. Arbitration is not a greater encroachment upon the liberty of a laborer or employer than the state laws which are restrictions upon personal liberty. The state should exercise its right 10 prevent strikes, just as it exercises its right to prevent crime and other offenses against the public welfa re. Arbitration has met with remaik-able success in nearly all European countries, nine has been especially successful in Germany and France. These countries have adopted a system ol industrial courts similar to that developed in New Zealand. Countless disputes have been settled and strikes prevented bv means of these industrial courts. Since New Zealand’s plan has proved successful in other great nations it would not be unwise for the United States to adopt a similar system. HELEN DAVIS S ECON D AFFIRM AT 1V E In the labor world strikes are becoming more and more common and complications which involve not only the direct parties but the entire public, as well, are arising. Men bent solely on gaining what they desire resort to all sorts of schemes in order to persuade the employer into granting their desires or the employer endeavors to frighten his men into working. The public suffers more or less directly in either case, and should not hesitate to interfere when the parties involved cannot or rather, will not settle their dispute. Government interference in the form of compulsory arbitration is only an action necessary for the prevention of harm to the public. Of course, a settlement entirely satisfactory to both sides would be impossible between two parties so widely divided in opinion as the em ployer and the laborer and it is true that perhaps either would oppose arbitration but the former, in one sense of the word suffers as much as the laborer and should be anxious for a speedv settlement of affairs; labor should never oppose arbitration so long as it has the right to choose one of the arbiters and be represented thus in the conciliation. The advantages to be gained by an act compelling arbitration are numerous. Prompt settlements would be insured, continued strife prevented, and the main feature of a system of compulsory arbitration would be that business would continue undisturbed pending a settlement of the dispute, thus preventing unnecessary expense or trouble to the public. BLANCHE ROGERS ORATION EXPERT SERVICE There was a time, and that when the value of expert service in public affairs was scarcely recognized, if at all. From the time of Andrew Jackson’s unwise declaration that “to the Victors belong the Spoils” down to comparatively recent years, public positions have been handed around to Tom, Dick and Harry for almost any reason except for proper qualification to till these positions. But one of the most hopeful signs of the present century is the increased interest in and appreciation of Expert Service This service has been recognized and well thought of in the Government bv President Taft. He has shown this by appointing a non partisan Tariff Board of five well-informed men who enable him to learn quickly the cost of all articles specified in the Tariff bills, both at the place of production, and at the place of con sumption. Postmaster General Hitchcock, an expert, aided .by several helpers of great ability whom he has appointed has been able to save eleven million dollars of the previous year’s loss without anv curtailment in postal facilities This answers the question whether it is possible for the Government to manage its affairs on an economical basis and I think my readers will advocate handing over the management of the post office to a private corporation. But in the state we also have hopeful signs of expert service. Gov. Deneeti has appointed an educational commission whose duties were to at tend to the matters of education in our state. The Waterway commission, the Pure Food Commission and the Insurance Board are all the result of this commendable movement made by our present Governor. In many cities we have a commission form of city government. The difference between this form and a council is that in this one every man has a certain part in the Government which he must handle carefully and reasonsibly; the men are chosen for this position regardless of their political views and the best men air selected for the places which they are to fill. Those we see that on every hand we are greeted by the commendable conditions resulting from a lack of it. Whether it be in regard to the nation wide project such as the revision of the Tariff ora movement as small as the grading of the streets in a country village we realize the importance of the service of competent men. There is this same demand for men who know. Bv placing the proper value upon “Expert Service” and by repudiating those who seek advancement upon anv other basis, the public audits officials could very soon set the world to aught bv turning it over to a body of men who are Experts. PAUL FISHER FRESHMAN NOTES The freshman class furnished two men for the basket ball team. John Biggs, right guard and Oscar Collins, manager.

Why, when von write, .‘Hark!’ you put a hat pin after it, and when you ask a question you put a button hook!” At the beginning of the term Miss Bennett gave the freshman boys a lecture on manners and the like. Do they observe it? Well I reckon they do. If a young lady happens to drop a paper, a book or pencil, every boy in the class almost breaks his neck, not to say anything about the speed limit, trying tt pick it up. To see them making a wild rush after a small piece of paper, a spectator would not be able to tell whether they were playing football or having a sham battle. When the classes pass to and fro through the halls every boy waits until the girls have passed through the door, and then they slowdy file in, and honestly every last one of them acts as if he'd jump if you’d say “boo.” For a few days we thought John and Oscar were sick they acted so queerlv, and Joe, oh why need I mention him. In Botany class if one of the girls has any trouble with her experiments, two or three boys immediately rush to her rescue. The following drawing shows a scene we al I enjoyed in Botony class one day when a finger was cut with a razor.

Oscar came in j ist then and told them he, too, had been looking for Ad—a long time. They went to call more in (Mauiine) and told Joe to get some more (Moore). After the crowd had gathered they all rushed into the ard to find only a—Pigg M A f II1 NR STEVENSON COLOR RUSH The two literary societies of the High School, namely: the Alethenian and Prototopian, have been hot rivals all year. The Prototopian side decided to show their athletic prowess by challenging and defeating; the Ale-thenian side in a basket ball game The challenge was accepted by the “Als” and the time set for the game was January 31st. at 4 o’clock P M As the time approached for this great occasion a great enthusiasm was instilled into the members of each of the societies. But when i he day arrived, which proved to be a great lav at school, the very air seemed to tell of a defeat for the Prototopians although this defeat was not reallv found out until the game was over The whole Opera House was crowded with Prototopian rooters and a few Alethenians, but the rooters could not win the game, and the Alethenians triumphed over their opponents the score being 24 to 25. The Prototopians had made prepara tions for one grand celebration if they? should be victorious, but as theFates were against them they were saved the trouble. Since the Alethenians were victorious they were inspired enough to send three delegates to place a flag bearing their colors on the School -house flag pole. The Prototopians, after being informed of the other side’s plans also thought that although they had lost the basket ball game, their flag would look nice in the breeze, and might make some impression. Most of my readers will remember that this was a cold and snowy night, the thermometer registering about 12 degrees below zero and the wind sweeping across the plains from the northwest But this did not prevent the delegates of the Alethenian society from attempting their plan Having secured the necessary keys to the school house, they could stand by the radiators and keep warm, while the meek Proto-topians stood around shivering in the snow bnlow waiting for the Alethenian flagtobe hoisted sothev could pull it down and put tip their own. The Alethenians, however, were wise enough to keep their flag and wait until it was late enough for the Prototopians to turn in. After many hours of waiting the Prototopians finally departed. disappointed and foiled in their attempt . Then the Alethenians got busy, placed their banner upon the flag staff regardless of the temperature and accomplished what they desired. Although the Prototopians have made several attempts to pull it down, the red and white still floats over the old school house roof. PAUL FISHER THE LITERARY SOCIETIES A .short time after school commenced last September the faculty decided that two literary societies would be of great benefit to the High School as a whole. The Basket Ball team had been organized among the boys but of course every one couldn’t play basket ball. The two Societies, the Alethenians and Prototopians gave programs alternately every Friday atternoon. Much benefit was really derived from these programs for the lives of great men and the current events were studied, and thus the societies were a source of help in the school work as well as a source of pleasure and recreation. Early in the last semester ii became known that there was to be a literary contest some time during the month of March. Immediately the members of the Societies began to stir up some enthusiasm, and of course this was increased by the inter-Society ba ket-ball game, which was played about this time. Each side now selected from among its members the persons to represent it in the various entries of the coming contest. Those who represented the Prototopians were Mildred Riggs. Essay; Maud Weath-erholt, Vocal Solo; Helen Davis and Blanche Rodgers, Debate; Carl Has-sig, Oration; Della Van Vleet, Piano Solo; and Nolle McClain, Reading Those who represented the Athenians in the contest were: Emmette Suffern, Essay; Maurine Stevenson, Vocal Solo; Kenneth Wilson and Herschel Baker, Debate; Paul Fisher Oration; Winifred Wilson, Piano Solo, and Sybil Pigg, Reading. About a week before the contest, yell leaders were appointed, and every evening after school from that time on the students from the grades as well as the high school students were coached in the cheering art. The way those “kids” from the grades did root was enough to make any one sit up and take notice. Nearly eveivone expected the Proto-topians to win the contest but these persons were sadly disappointed for the Aletbenians won by five points, crpturing everything except the vocal solo and ttie Reading. The Alethenians went home with light hearts and colors flying, and the Prototopians resolved to do better next time. A valuable banner was purchased with the proceeds of the evening. This banner bears the High School colors, orange and black, and was given to the Society that won the contest, the Alethenians. ANNIE LAURIE SUFFERN PATRON’S DAY The Atwood school held its annual Patron’s Day, February 16th. Instead of having allot the program at • night as had been the custom the two previous years, the work was on exhibition and programs were given by the various rooms in the afternoon and in the evening Mr. Otwell delivered an address at the M. W. A. hall The whole display of work in the primary room was very interesting, but that which attracted the most attention was the “Eskimo Vi I lage” and “Barnyard,” both of which were planned by the teacher, but were made by the children. Besides these were writing papers, straw and yarn mats and an exhibition of construction work. The 1st intermediate had a display of drawings, examination papers, construction work and an Eskimo Village. The blackboards in the 2nd intermediate and Grammar room were covered with drawings, writing and examination papers and the various note books were on exhibition. The black-boards in the three High School rooms were covered with Zoology drawings, Latin sentences, writing in the German script, geometry propositions and algebra problems. The Zoology, Physics and German note-books were also on exhibition. At 1:30 the Primary and 1st Intermediate gave a program and the Grammar room gave a play—Parson Poor’s Donation Party. This was something out of the ordinary but the pupils showed ability in handling their parts. All of the exercises were completed at about the same time and the visitors were invited into the High School where the regular Friday' afternoon program was given by the Alethenian literary society. Then all of those who cared to go, went into the recitation room, where physics experiments weie performed and explained by members of the physics class. In the evening the orchestra gave a few selections, after which Mr. Otwell gave his address. He told about Boy’s clubs he had organized and his work in the various places This was very interesting, especially to those who have been following him in this work. There was a large crowd, both at the school house in the afternoon and at the hall in the evening. This shows that not only the parents but even those who have no children in school are interested in what the school is doing.

MADDEN VICTOR GREVK HERSCHEL BAKER OSCAR COLLINS Co ?cl) THE COUNTY MEET Atwood High had only two men, Wilson and Baker, entered in the annual track contest at Monticello. These two, however, tied for third place with a full team from Monticello. Baker was entered in the half and quarter mile runs, winning second place in both races. In the quarter, especially, he was a surprise, as he has never practiced for that event. Wilson did good work in the high jump, tying for first place with the Foran brothers of Bement and Mos-grove of Monticello He also won third places in the hammer throw, discus, and running broad jump W. Foran, of Bement, proved the star of the meet, winning thirty-five of the 75 points amassed by his school. Nelle McClain was Atwood’s only representative in the Oratorical Contest. She rendered her declamation in a very pleasing manner. The only disappointment to the Atwood aggregation was the decision ot the judges who awarded the medals to the contestants from Mansfield and Monticello. Tom Terrill ’ll.
