THE NINETEEN SIXTEEN POST Published by the Class of 1916 of the Atwood High School Editor-in-Chief, Anna Mae Dorjahn Business Managers, Joseph T. Cogdal and Earle H. Hines A Harbinger OU have before you the “Post of the Class ______ of 1916. It has been a task to give an idea and a record of the 1915-16 events of the Atwood high school and to add a few things here and there that will show the general spirit of our school. If in your opinion we have attained any success, we beg to remind you that much of the credit is due to the three under classes and the faculty, as well as the advertisers, who have supported us in a financial way. Now the readers will do their part by lingering long over the best things and hastening by the less desirable. Even Adam erred, but was he to blame? HI Dedication TO THE PATRONS AND FACULTY OF THE ATWOOD HIGH SCHOOL We the class of nineteen sixteen dedicate this, our Post, in appreciation of their interest and loyalty. Board of Education : j C.

The first programme of the school year was given by the Omega Society before the Mothers’ Club November 24th, and consisted of songs, essays and piano solos. Literary Societies have always had a definite place in the high school programme. They are an established thing in all colleges and universities and have spread from there to the high schools. The teachers have urged literary societies as a stimulant to an active interest in historical, political and literary affairs, and as a means of learning how to express thoughts clearly and concisely. Each student needs to learn to stand with grace before people and tell his thoughts. It has been found that literary societies always fulfill this purpose and give the student the power to appear at ease before an audience; moreover the literary society not infrequently enables the student to discover in himself a talent he had not sus- pected. During the school term each pupil is given an opportunity to take part as many times as possible. Each student appears in the part in which he is most interested, such as declamation,essays, music and debates, and current events. The programmes are really a supplement to work done in the English and history classes and aid the pupil in putting his knowledge to use. The societies have caused a good natured rivalry which only serves to create interest and enthusiam. The societies have been a benefit to the students and teachers as well as a recreation and pleasure. They have added to the social interest of the high school as well as athletic work. Various social functions and athletic contests have been carried out during the school term. Anna Dorjahn T6. Memories I was sitting by the open fire in the library one morning not long ago. The day was gloomy and it was very pleasant sitting there in the firelight. As I sat gazing into the flames, a face seemed to come before me. I thought, “whose face can that be?” And then I remembered. It was Hollace Muire, one of my old school-mates, dear old A. H. S. It seems so long ago since those happy days. Then other faces seemed to appear in the fire. They were all of my high school friends. Then I saw them as they are to-day. Golda, lone and Hollace, the studious ones of the class, are urging the tardy loiterer along the flowery paths of knowledge. Of course Dolores Henry has become an artist. We all knew she would. Maude, the shy- est one of the class is now in Berlin studying music. Mary with her curls, has become the famous star of the Essanay motion pic-sure film company. Fred Brewer has at last aspired to the position of Ambassador to Germany. Harry Brunson has fulfilled our expectations and become a member of the Senate. What about Sabra? To-day’s Tribune says she is to sing to-night in the “Great American” in New York. Garold Barnhart and Lowell Stevenson are two of the most prominent names in Wall Street. Fred Wiley has become teacher of Mathematics in Oxford College. Mary Louise has spent most of her time in traveling, but is at home at present. She has become Mrs. X, the wife of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, and has come home to send her daughter to Dear Old Atwood high school. I woke from my reverie with a start, for I heard the children coming home from school and I smelled my potatoes beginning to burn. 0TA Day T8. A Theory After much study and serious thought I advance that which my brain has wrought Friends it is a full blown theory Over which my mind grows weary. Many a night the oil I’ve burned Studying that which wise men spurned But at last the trick I've learned. This is it, a simple case Life is but a great foot race When we start we scarce can crawl. But later on we’ll pass them all High school teachers by the way It’s up to us to make it pay That we’ll try is all I’ll say. For four long years we have studied hard. Taken coaching like a pard Now we are on the mark they claim We hear the pistol just the same Telling us the race is on Winning now by brain and brawn We’ll make life’s fortune all our own. Theories like all else good, Are more talked of, than understood; But our theory, we’ve been testing, And in the sunlight of success, we’re resting. Traveling from scene to scene Memory doth turn back I ween To take a glance at old sixteen. Cogdal. The Call of Fate Softly the shades of night are falling Throwing dark shadows o’er the ground. Which are promptly turned to silver When later by the moon they’re found. Thru the door O’er the piazza Down the walk to the garden gate Steals a dark shadow, Softly and silently. To take up the vigil and there to wait. To wait, to wait To wait for what? Ask and the answer is, “I know not. Something is calling me Calling me here, Something that silences my dread fear.’’ Over the hill, the bright moon arises Bringing with it, so many surprises. Out from the shadows Across the meadows Comes a gray form It stumbles and falls Falls at the feet of her who awaits Who has come here obeying, The call of fate. Quickly she kneels with her hand on his heart “It has stopped! He is dead! Oh my brother!’’ she cries But no gleam appears in the upturned eyes. The moon shines on The night is still And all is quiet In the house on the hill. Dolores Henry 18. The Marrying of Eleanor Eleanor was a good old maid. About forty-five, with flaxen hair, Big blue eyes, and a baby stare. She lived upon a hill-top With nothing but a half a lot And a stove, which she kept red hot. She had a little “feller,’’ As cunnin’ as could be. Whose hair was black and yellar” And he liked to climb a tree. (Used Without Poet’s Knowledge.) Ione Pinckard T8. Ota with her Brownie No. 2 Said to herself “Miss Wiley a picture I’ll have of you” So on the desk the camera goes, Ota little mindful of Miss Wileys pose. But when that kodak, Miss Wiley does see, She rushes to the window as quick as can be. She pulls down the shades to stop the fun. But not before the awful deed is done. Gum Kenneth to the Carnival went. On some mischief he was bent, He strode up to the baby stand And took three balls in his hand. The first he threw, the second, the third, The babies fell, still he demurred; More balls he took, and still they fell. Poor little dears, he threw so well, And when he quit, the amount of gum Amounted to an appalling sum. Next day, to school he brought that gum For all the kids to have some fun; Now Mr. Frazier saw that fun, And Mr. Frazier got that gum; He took it to the office cool, And there he chewed it after school.

Flickinger Dimples Just six Powdery Dres3tic science Kid, listen Innocence Class Prophecy |NE beautiful sunshiny day this spring, I was sitting in a hammock on our front porch studying for my last final examinations. As the day was very warm and I had spring fever, 1 found it difficult to keep my mind on common every day facts and especially school work. I began indulging in Daydreams, those awful things, that so many high school students practice, and which our teachers so dislike, especially when there is studying to be accomplished. But then who has not at some period of his life, indulged in this simple pastime and obtained perfect enjoyment therefrom? And now I wondered what the future of my two classmates and myself would be, when we had left the protectingwalls of dear old A. H. S. And suddenly everything grew blurred, and I found myself at the close of a bright summer day, walking along a large farm. But who was this man clad in farmer s clothing, walking briskly down the road, before me, driving his team of horses and whistling merrily? A closer look, and to be sure it was my old class-mate Earle Hines, known as ‘‘Barney to his fellow school-mates. As he merrily whistled the old familiar tune of ‘‘Orange and Black I recalled those dear old days of high school and it brought a feeling of sadness too. I could only think how we had left it far behind us when we received our diplomas, several years ago. And now Earle had been to college and taken a course in agriculture, and at the close of this summer day, was returning from his work on the larm. He had been wonderfully successful too in his chosen line of work, but Earle was always known as a “hustler as far back as his first school days. But the scene changed and I was standing in a large court room. A tall dark haired man was making an eloquent speech and a last plea for a condemned prisoner. And this man, who was he? Why, no other than Joe Cogdal, the second of my classmates. Joe or “Joker was now a famous lawyer and I was not in the least surprised for he was always fond of arguing. How well I remembered his arguments in our high school debates, and he was always on the winning side', too His chosen profession had been a success in every way and I felt that he was a credit to our class. And what of my other classmates? To be sure there were but three and no one remained but myself. And what of myself? Oh yes, I was now staying at home, having completed a course at college—But bump! my vision grew dim and I looked about me with a start. Here I was on the porch having fallen “ker thump out of the hammock. Nothing remained of my dream but a bump on my forehead and my English lesson still unstudied and finals to-morrow. Anna Dorjahn 16. Class History Class Motto—“Ne Cede Matin' ’ Class Flower— Violet Class Colors— Violet and White Class President—Earle I fines Vice President—Joe Coy dal Secretary—Anna Dorjahn SEHOLD, dear friends the class of Nineteen Sixteen as it ____ emerges from under the yoke, after four long years of hard struggle. No doubt we are somewhat broken down, but not so much but we can rise to prominence and a position. In the Fall of 1912, a multitude of nine Freshies entered the A. H. S. After a few days of excitement, and thrilling heart palpi-pations, two of our members quitted the ranks, leaving seven to finish the year. After the first few months we became accustomed to the new life. We had an exciting time over color rushes, and succeeded in having our flag, recognized by planting it on the cupola. At the beginning of our second year, only five responded to the roll call. A sixth entered a little later, but did not stay long. So only five went thru the year. This was really an eventful year as our school was held in the tabernacle. Our Junior year started in a fine new building, erected by the community. Five again responded to the call. Everything was going well, when woe be unto us, a calamity occurred. Cupid had done his work, and one morning only three juniors appeared, with downcast faces, to finish the year. The year was quite eventful with receptions, literary programmes and wiener roasts. When the fall of 1915 entered upon the record of time, we started to school for the last time in the high school. Perhaps with a feeling of sadness, but I think more a feeling of gladness, that we should soon be thru with our period of preparation, and ready to enter the arena of life’s action. A class of three, small no doubt compared with former classes, but sincere in our ambition to climb. And as we leave the place of joys and happiness, let us not think that the best of life has gone, but that the best is yet to come. Earle H. Hines 16. Senior Notes As We Leave H. S. A thot comes creeping at the terms ending. With a feeling of sadness we find That we'll leave, when we are departing A bit of our hearts behind. “Things Here and There” Zeros are the for-get-me-nots of the Seniors.

Senior. Has Pro a class this hour? Freshie. No, but he has a class of two grammar room boys in the office. Miss Wiley (In Hist.) There was a resurrection of negroes in the South.

Anna (In Eng. IV). “It just seemed like” — Miss Orr. “Now Anna how many times have I told you to say, “it seems as if?” Anna. “Well, it did seem like”— Miss Orr. “Now remember what I told you. Anna. “Oh my goodness, I don’t know what it seemed like.” Zeros are something used to fill up space. “Senior Yell” Rah, Rah, Rah Winkt Tah, Tah Volie, Moolie Meen Lucky Sixteen.

The term “etc. is used to make the teachers believe we know more than we really do.” Earle. “I have got a lot to tell you. Joe. “Come down to the movies and we’ll talk it over.” Teachers always say burn midnight oil; do they mean kerosene or gasoline? One morning Earle was sent out to put the harness on the mule, at 4:00 o’clock. Everything was dark and he started to put the harness on the cow. His father yelled for him to hurry up. I can’t, said Earle, this mule has frozen his ears and I can't get the collar on. Miss Orr (In Physics class). Why don’t that book fall over? Joe. The wind can’t get under it. “Practical Quotations of Seniors” “Never say fail”—To the faculty. “He had a tongue to persuade.” Joe C. “I am sober as a judge. Earle. “Success crowns all work.

Latest pronunciation of Louis Phillippe by Mr. Stitt, “Louie Filippy’ “And then they wanted something about free wit “Dolores, tell Louis what that means Dolores. “Why the book said to wit, and went ahead to tell what they wanted. Senior-Junior Snapshots Sophomore-Freshman Snapshots Sophomore Notes Describe the dress Nancy and Priscilla wore to the party.— Miss Wiley. He had a little box he used in connection with his pipe (meaning a tinder-box). Maude, quoting “Silas Manner.” Well another person at the Rainbow Inn was the butcher, red Durham. Mary Shonkwiler. That’s ablative, Gee Whiz! Dolores. Brutus was afraid Caesar’s power would go to his head. Miss Wiley in English II. I’m gonna “cut it out” usin’ slang. Miss Wiley don’t “get me” —Tode. Mr. Frazier had called Mary Louise into the office to get an excuse. When she came back she said to Ota, “Kid, What’ll I do; he won’t accept me.” He had black hair streaked with grey and blue eyes. Hollace. “Are you laughing at me?” asked Miss W. in English II. “No.” “Well then what else is there in this room to laugh at?” Well, I think it was the way she was raised, kinda old maidish like you know. Mary Shonkwiler. Not long ago Mr. Frazier became sarcastic in History and said, Yes, Louis, I think both you and Mary Louise agree with Mary on that question.” To be a good speaker is more to be desired than great riches. This seems to be Mr. Frazier’s motto and the school quite agrees with him. One day Mr. Frazier gave what seemed to him an excellent speech on silos and when he said, If there are any questions you want to ask, now is the time,” Wayne Welker raised his hand and asked, Say Mister Frazier, can you tell me where I can get some of that there silo seed?” Notice—To the citizens of Atwood we give notice that we run the best up-to-date beauty parlor in town. Hair dressing done a’la mode every hour in the day. Lowell C. Stevenson and Harry Brunson. Class, don’t you think Orlando was a kind of nice sort of man? Miss Wiley.

Written in red ink on her paper, Mr. Frazier put, “Was it a gun or club?” Dunstan went nobody knowed where. Fred Wiley. Ladies hold no preference here; Louis recite. Mr. Frazier in History. Romans, friends, countrymen, lend me yourtongues—er—that is your ears. Garold. The charterists wanted England to be divided into new electrical districts. Mary. Mary Louise doesn’t ask Harry for cough drops any more. Why? “Now Fred, if you were going to Panama from Austria, how would you go?” Mr. Frazier. Fred. “By ship of course.” Miss Wiley’s favorite saying is, “What’s the joke? Why don’t you tell us so we can laugh?” Tode’s highest ambition is to get $150 a month and be married before September. Garold, compare the word meaning graceful, slender. Miss Wiley We have positive proof that Miss Wiley hasn’t any pets for she makes Dolores and Mary Louise sit in the front seats for whispering. “What is the significance of that big tree being struck down by lightning? Miss Wiley. “What! You mean that tree that was electrocutioned?” Tode. Miss Wiley was talking about some mischievous Sophs, when she said, “You know I hate to land on those kids.” Mr. Frazier is a great fisher as well as philosopher and poet. Here is some of the poetized philosophy which he handed to the Ag class, while he meditated on the Creek bank: “Oh that a fisherman’s life were sweeter For how charming it would be, How conducive to glee, If a fish would bite like a skeeter.” IONE PlNCKARD. Freshman Notes Mr. Frazier (to history class). When you go to give a speech, stand up so the people can see you.

Clifford what is meant by a man without a cross? Clifford. Does it mean ‘‘a man without a family?' Pro. Mildred B. if you aren’t good, you will never go to heaven. Mildred.

Social Notes Of course the Freshmen had to be initiated into High School Society. The Initiation Party was held Friday evening, September 17, 1915, in the north east room of the high school. A mock literary program was given during the evening. Mildred Doty won the prize of an Atwood pennant in the contest. Refreshments were served consisting of apple cider and doughnuts. The Wiener Roast Friday evening, October 8, the Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors chaperoned by Miss Orr and Miss Wiley, walked out to Gross' woods and had a wiener roast. The evening was spent in singing and giving high school yells. The “Kid Party” The Platonian Literary Society entertained the Omega Society at a Kid'' party. December 22. Everyone came dressed as “kids. Candy and popcorn were served. A “grab-bag furnished part of the evening's entertainment. The Omegas returned the party on January 7, at the school house. “The Spread” The high school girls gave a spread for the Atwood boys and the members of the visiting team, after the Atwood-Newman basket ball game. Ham sandwiches and coffee were served. The Freshmen boys entertained the Freshmen girls in the northeast room of the high school, Friday, February 4, 1916. Another “Spread” The members of the casts of the two plays, “Whiskers, and Our Career, enjoyed a spread after the plays. Refreshments of lemonade, cake and cookies were served. Society Plays Two plays entitled, “Whiskers” and “Our Career were given by the Platonian and Omega literary societies March 24, 1916. The proceeds were used for the piano, which was purchased for the high school during the school year. Box Supper A box social was given by the Athletic Association December 18,1915, and the proceeds were used by the Basket Ball team. A good programme was given, consisting of selections by the high school quartet and readings by Misses Mabel Smothers and Francis Anderson. Several prizes were given away, the cake for the most popular young lady going to Miss Helen Kaiser. The school was well supported by the friends of the school. The affair netted the athletic association forty-two dollars, a sum very conveniently used by the basket ball team. Junior-Senior Reception On the evening of May 11th, the Juniors entertained the Seniors and the faculty at the home of Louis Stitt. The rooms were prettily decorated in the class colors and flowers. Alter the guests arrived, everyone attended the “Movies,” where seats had been reserved for them. After this the time was spent with vic-trola music and social conversation. Before the guests departed they were taken to the dining room, which was tastefully decorated with lavender and white, the Senior colors. Here a delightful four course luncheon was served, consisting of sandwiches, salad, olives, pickles, pineapple sherbet, angel food cake, coffee and opera sticks. Red carnations were given as favors. At a late hour everyone departed feeling that the class of 1917 had entertained them royally. Mock Junior-Senior Reception The Sophomores met at the home of lone Pinckard Thursday May 11, 1916. From there they went to the “Movies,” where seats had been reserved for them. Each girl was given a small box of candy before starting. After the show they returned to Dr. Pinckard’s, where refreshments of pineapple sherbet and angel and devil’s food cake were served. The place cards were programs of the mock commencement exercises, which were held later in the evening.

Effingha m 39 1 ournament Atwood Vs. Garrett 25 Total 324 Basket Ball Team Captain Cogdal Cogdal, a veteran of last year, was this year selected as Captain of the team. It is almost needless to say that his touch off, floor work and basket shooting were a great help to the team. A strong advocate of team work, Cogdal sacrificed personal glory to the well being of the team. His scoring is shown in that he shot 57 goals and 1 foul. Stitt From his position of forward, Stitt this year changed to that of guard. In this position Stitt has done everything that can he expected of a guard. He watched his man, and men that were not his, very closely. His floor work has been great and he has done his share towards the final success of the team. Hines Hines, the veteran right guard, continued to play the steady game that so characterized him in the years before. He played his man closely and his clever guarding has enabled the team to pull through with credit to themselves. Tho short in stature. Hines could leap into the air to pull down pass after pass, often converting them into points for the team. Hines, Stitt and Wiley have to their credit. 25 goals and 5 fouls. Basket Ball Team Stevenson With the close of the Shelbyville tournament, Stevenson’s first year as right forward upon the high school five ended. Stevenson has played a good game all the way thru. He is a valuable man and should easily land a berth on next year's quintet, if not at forward, perhaps at center, where he would he of great use. His scoring for a new man is remarkable, 35 goals, 11 fouls. Barnhart From playing a good game last year Barnhart dropped into a steady position upon the team this year. His height and weight contributed fully to the scores and his successful guarding and floor work kept the scores of others from swelling. In every game Barnhart gave a good account of himself, as is seen from his total of 36 goals, 1 foul. ★ The “Subs” The first Sub of the team was Wiley. Wiley was a good player and certainly deserved more at the hands of the high school than he received. On the second team was G. Hines, R. Greves, K. Stevenson. H. Barnhart and R. Harris, who are all doing good work for youngsters. ik The Season by Games—Continued NOVEMBER 27. 1915, AT NEWMAN Our first scheduled game of the year was played at Newman. Atwood showed up very poorly and was out played the first half, the score at that period being eight to three in Newmans favor. The last half tells a different story however and the game ended A. H. S. 24. N. T. H. S. 18. DECEMBER 10. 1915, AT ATWOOD Newman came to Atwood, her line-up changed. The game was hotly contested but Atwood was at home. The team work of the team began to show up. Score N. H. S. 26, A. H. S. 50. JANUARY 21, 1916, AT ATWOOD The rough and ready aggregation from Hume came to Atwood. A battle royal, for forty minutes, ensued. Rough playing was paramount but Atwood took the cake. H. H. S. 20, A. H. S. 30. JANUARY 28, 1916, AT LOVINGTON This game played at Lovington upon a small floor, thickly studded with posts was, of a necessity, slow. The first half ended with Atwood one point in the lead. Lovington came back and with a minute and a half to play had the edge on us; at this juncture Wiley tossed a foul and a basket was made. The whistle blew and Atwood was again victorious. L. T. H. S. 24, A. H. S. 27. PRACTICE Last year, the town team gave us a little write up. We return the compliment to Wilson, Hassig, Oflenstein, Carroll, Collins, Suffern and Wiley. Old High School Stars, 36, A. H. S. 56. FEBRUARY 4, 1916, AT ATWOOD The Quintette of Decatur, known more widely as the Stags, came, playing the famous Songer brothers, Devore and a couple other players. The game went fast and furious for one half. Devore and Songer playing terriffk basket ball, but in the last half the score was. Stags (Y. M. C. A.) 15, A. H. S. 51. FEBRUARY 12. 1916, AT ATWOOD Areola came up to pay us a visit and we had a high ol time. The game went off well for all but Joker; he was laid up for a couple of weeks. Ah, well, it’s the first game lost so far. A. T. H. S. 23, A. H. S. 22. FEBRUARY 25-26, 1916, AT SHELBYVILLE Practice was resumed for the South Central tournament. Atwood drew Effingham and felt that a victory would be desirable. Coach Frazier made his authority felt and got the team in good shape for the coming contest. The team was rushed off a day ahead of time so as to be sure and be there. Well I guess we were. The husky Effingham bunch took the lead early in the game as is shown by the score for the first ten minutes Effingham 8. Atwood 0. At this time victory picked up her things and prepared to leave Atwood, when a pass from Cogdal, Stevenson. Barnhart. Cogdal caused her to tarry. The rest of the game was a dream. E. H. S. 23. A. H. S. 39. Atwood’s next opponent was Garrett, at 9:30 that same day. The game went like this, Garrett 8, Atwood 0, Garrett 10, Atwood 10, Atwood 11, Garrett 10 and the score kept changing thus for the entire period. In the last few minutes Garrett took a spurt and the pistol cracked sealing Atwood’s doom. G. H. S. 31, A. H. S. 25. The season had ended, Atwood scoring 152 goals and 20 fouls to their opponents 90 goals and 30 fouls. Without bragging we may say that the record of the present team is infemr to none that has hitherto taken the fl or for Atwood. The Atwood High School Track Team this year, despite it’s bad luck in losing some of its best men, either by sickness or stopping school, has much for which to be proud. The orange and black had two of its old track stars from last year. Cogdal, the star high jumper and pole vaulter, started out at full speed at the very first. He also became a crack broad jumper and dash man. Stitt, who is remembered by his work last year in the long distance runs and especially in the mile, began early to develop his wind; in fact he got out so early that he caught cold, which developed into pneumonia, and as a result he has not been able to do his best work. Many new men came out on the campus and showed good material —K. Stevenson, L. Stevenson, E. Hines, G. Barnhart and Welker ali showed to the coach that they had much ability. Track Team Harris, Hines. Welker. Captain Cogdal. Barnhart, L. Stevenson, K. Stevenson, Coach Frazier The Men and What They Have Done CAPTAIN COGDAL.—With the close of this season, Atwood will lose one of the best athletes and the best high jumper she has ever had. Cogdal's record in the high jump is 5 ft. 8 1-2 inches. At the Triangular Meet, between Newman, Atwood and Hume, he won 29 of the 42 points which Atwood received. He also won 2nd place at Charleston, Gantz of Champaign winning first by a mere streak of luck. He is expected to do great work at both Champaign and Monticello. MANAGER STITT.— Last year’s long distance star was so handicapped by his attack of pneumonia as to make it positively dangerous to do much in track this year. Because of Stitt’s inability to run, Atwood was forced to cancel meets with many competitors. In spite of the fact of his illness, however, he won the mile run and 2nd in the half mile at the Triangular Meet, without any practice whatever. L. STEVENSON.—Has shown himself competent in the pole vault and the dashes and will no doubt make a star man next year. He tied Phipps of Newman for 2nd place at the Triangular Meet. E. HINES.—This is the close of Hines’ athletic career. He has been a hard worker and is a good track man in every sense of the word. He received 2nd place on the 440 yard dash at the Triangular; the race was thrilling throughout. K. STEVENSON. WELKER, BARNHART.—These three men have been doing consistent work this year and will no doubt, next year, be good track men. Stevenson is a good high jumper and in the Triangular Meet showed up in the 440 yard dash. Welker is a good dash man and also did good work in the Triangular Meet. Barnhart, with another year’s practice in the weights, will be an up-to-date heaver. Capiain Cogdal Manager Stitt Records of A. H. S. Stars, Past and Present J.
