Our supply of knowledge too was If we would make the trip. low, But teachers helped us gather more And stick right by the ship.

By the unanimous decision of the twenty colonists, it was decided to elect a chief, and accordingly Miss Dorothy Kirk was named head. A keen desire for higher education was felt among the colonists, so it was agreed to set out for grad- uation, High School, via the Lincoln Route. Realizing the need for assistant lead- ers, Frank Morgan was elected president, Jimmie lVlcGrane, vice president, Arnold Allan, secretary and treasurer, and Florence Cool, athletic advisor. The first stop was Freshman, a green struggling settlement, where we were forced to settle because of a Sophomore uprising near. We were initiated in the High School by the Sophomore Class. We were thankful because of our escape from this uprising. By the fall of '25 we felt as though we should he again starting on our way, so acccompanied by our friend's best wishes and individual road maps, we headed for Sophomore, a few hardships away, with only sixteen of our colonists surviving the trials of Freshman. Algebra storms and floods that would have washed out Caesar's bridges were encountered, and it was a vinegar-tempered crowd that encamped at Sophomore. During our stop at this place we had Arnold Allan as president, and Merle Hamilton vice president, and Donald Gleaves was secretary and treasurer. Since, Miss Kirk discontinued her journey, we elected a new chief, Miss Bowie who kindly con- sented to pilot us. But at last the sun shone and we started for Junior, losing all our Pioneers but thirteen. Merle Hamilton was president, Wayne Harsha vice president and Florence Cool was secretary and treasurer, Miss Blanche Wilkinson guiding us safe- ly and leading onward. Such remarkable progress had been made, it was decided to give an entertainment for the surrounding colonies, consequently, 'CA Couple of Millionf' a play was staged and every one was Nheap pleas. Later a great cele- bration was held, which was called the Junior-Senior Banquet, the memory of which will always remain in the hearts of these Daniel Boones and Priscillas. Prompted by the motto, we will find a path or make one,', we started our trip through the country of Senior, with twelve pioneers to finish the journey, Mr. Howell acting as chief, and Merle Hamilton president, Donald Gleaves vice president and Harold Krampe secretary and treasurer. Following the custom of our prede- cessors we decided to record not only the history of our fame, but also that of our neighbors, and an Oriole Staff was elected. As the day draws near to the time when we reach our destination, Graduation, we look back on our trail of Education and wonder if, after all, it was not strewn with more roses than thorns. In all contests and sports we have been the unques- tioned victors, we have aided others on their trial to success but now we, too, will be separated. What will be our next journey? There are many roads leading us from here, so we cannot all take the same, hut we can only hope that the other paths may some day meet. If not, we shall cherish those golden days spent on our Pilgrimage to Graduation.

By means of her educated toe and ability to twist, lvagene proved to be a consistent, essential person on the team. Hazel was one of the hardest fighters on the team, performing always in a most aggres- sive manner. By her shifliness and speed Wilma made many a hard game much easier. Gene won a recognized place in the line-up this year in spite of being hampered by illness. .luanita handled herself with the dexterity of a veteran. Through hard and consistent work, Helen S. earned a regular place as guard. When called upon, Frances S. and Helen W. displayed a great deal of speed and endurance. Cleo and Maurine proved their ability in the Baxter'Prairie City game. They are both Sophomores and should be good material next year. It was only the willingness on the part of all the other girls to take knocks that made it possible for the girls to have a team at all. We are very fortunate to have all the girls back again next year, and trust we -can develop a team of which Baxter will be proud.

The attendance was excep- tionally good which made the financial part also good. The spirit shown by the schools was what we all like to see. There were some very fine games in each class. Many games were won by a margin of one point. Several games here were forfeited on account of sickness and other conditions. There were fifteen teams entered from different schools in Class B, Baxter, Colo, Zearing, Dunbar, Ferguson, Gilman, Kel- logg, LeGrand, Liberty Consolidated, Melbourne, Mitchellville, North Grant, Rhodes, St. Anthony and Union. There were six schools entered in Class A, Colfax, Mar- shalltown, Prairie City, Mingo, Newton and State Center. There were twenty-one schools entered in all, Baxter played two of the best games in the tournament. In the first game they played Colo, winning by two points. The score being Colo 13, Baxter 15. Their next opponent was Zearing. The Zearing boys were pretty big, but not too big. The boys played a very good game, but were defeated by a margin of one point, the score being Zearing 20, Baxter 19. Page Thirty-Seven OTZOQ? Qtbletic ieisturp g I ghe remarkable growth of athletic activities must be given attention in this historical issue of tie 'riole. It is said that a strong mind must be contained in a healthy body. Some years ago the Iowa Legislature recognized this fact and enacted a law requiring physical education in the schools of Iowa. The original school building in Baxer was a large wooden structure containing two rooms. The building proved to be inadequate for academic lines of work and incidentally there was no arrangement for such sports as basket ball. Because of this deficiency, the present building. with the exception of the new gymnasium was erected in 1914. Provision was made in this building for a large room t24x32J which was called a gym. Basket ball was played in this room until the present addition was built in 1924. Some people wondered why such a large space was devoted to what seemed to them to be such an unimportant thing as play. This place served its purpose well but rapidly grew out of date. It failed to meet the demands of the mod- ern game in every way. The court was small, the ceiling low and the posts were the bugaboo of all that hit them. After a few winning teams were produced the attitude of the general public was changed. Athletics began to hold a prominent place in school activties. The number attending athletic contests has greatly increased. At first the crowd consisted of perhaps a dozen people. This number has gradually increased until this last year when over eight hundred fans crowded in to see one of the tournament games. There was no arrangement made in the first gym for the seating of spectators and as the crowds grew this became a big problem. We can easily see from what has been said that the public was beginning to demand a new gymnasium. During the year 1922-23 plans were drawn and the question of building a com- bined gymnasium and auditorium was submitted to the voters of the Independent school district of Baxter. A record vote was cast and the propositoin carried by a margin of twenty-one votes. The result of this vote is the building that we see and use every day. About the year 1900 a baseball team was organized to represent the H. S. So far as the writer has been able to determine this was the first athletic team to represent B. H. S. Baseball was played for about eighteen years. It was again resumed in 1926 and will probably be played for several years now as the school has a fairly complete outfit of equipment. Perhaps the most successful season of baseball was in the year 1907 when the local team hung up a record of eleven victories and no defeats. Among those defeated were Melbourne, Mingo, Colfax and New- ton. The team this present season has been greatly handicapped by bad weather. Rain and snow have both contributed to the cancellation of several games. Football was first played in 1906. It was continued until 1910. The games at this time ,how- ever were not played extensively or intensively. Baxter lfligh did succeed in turning out a couple of college fullbacks-Tom Singleton and Dan 0'Brien. Football was again resumed as a regular school activity in 1925 with C. L. McLaughlin as coach. Coach Kerr had charge of the team during this present year. The high spot of the year was the victory over Prairie City 12-6. Last year they defeated us 30-6. Much football knowledge and technique has been learned during these two years and we have hopes for a winning team in the very near future. In 1907 Supt. Coffin arranged for a track team but it only survived the one year. Again in the year 1917-19 Supt. R. A. Greenslit organized a team, some of the members of which were R. Wastier, Lynn Cunningham, and Raymond Hager. This team attended several meets and won some honors. In the spring of 1925 Sup-t. Howell selected a team and entered the Drake Relays. This is one of the biggest events that a B. H. S. team has ever been represented in. The Jasper County track meet was also entered that same year. Page Thirty-Eight 1927 The Uriole One of the more recent and easily the most popular sport in B. H. S. is Basket Ball. Since 1908 Baxter has always had a team and probably always will have. The first teams played in the Klise Opera Hall as there was no gym in the school building. ent building in 1914- the sport was played in the school building. is shown here. It is composed of T.

This team played two games with Melbourne. The result was two victories-for Melbourneg but defeats mean nothing to a green team. Compare the uniforms of this team with those of the present teams. The present is fitted in duplicate uniforms furnished by the school. The first teams seem to have no two articles the same. The comparison merely shows the advance made in the sport. 1918 BASKET BALL TEAM Enough credit cannot be given to these former teams, They were the pioneers whose trail all others have followed. Speaking of trails, Baxter needs a few good ones. Many games have been postponed on ac- count of bad roads. A few years ago the boys walked or rode horseback to Newton to the County Tournament. The community as well as the school needs good roads. Let's have them. So far as we haveubeen able to find out the first girls basket ball. team was organized by Miss Tenney in 1920. Since then the girls have been playing and producing teams of which the school has been proud of. ln 1925 the Baxter girls were declared County Champions defeating Mingo 18-20 in the final game of the County Tournament. The present year the were the runner up in the County Tournament. Prospects are bright for a winning team year as all this year's team will be back. To make this history complete tennis must be tioned. In 1923 a series of games were played with Melbourne but since that no inter-school duals have been played. However, the game itself has been played ever since and students and after girls HBX1 H1611- faculty get much pleasure from the tennis courts. We, the Seniors of 1927, wish success to the future of B. 1-I. S. athletics. We hope for sportsmanship teams as well as victorious ones. Athletics has a remarkable hold upon the com- munity. lnterest has increased as the teams have improved. Let us hope that it will so con- tinue. Page '1 hirty-Nine ,The Oriole 1927 iiaietorp of Itaxter There used to be a small inland town, one mile west of Restland Cemetery, called Baxter, which was moved to the site which uses the same name, when the Diagonal Railroad went through from Marshalltown to Des Moines. During the summer of eighteen eighty-one 118811 Col. Lamphier, known as the long haired chief tcalled such from the habit of wearing his hair to his shouldersi went among the people of Independence township trying to persuade the people to vote a tax to put the railroad thru the township. An election was at last held and a tax of three per cent was voted, upon the condition that the railroad be finished and running by the first of December 1881, and that the depot of this town be placed either on the northwest one-quarter of the southwest one-quarter of section fourteen or in the northeast one-quartet: of the southeast one-quarter of section fifteen. Nothing more was heard of the matter until the spring of eighteen eighty-three, at which time several surveys were made, finally a line was chosen and the work begun. The grading was done during the latter part of the summer and latc fall of eighteen eighty- three, and in November of that year the construction train was put on and the iron laid. The town of Baxter was then platted. , fi, Because of a little trouble over the Rippey land, delay was caused in p-latting that part of the town, so the first town was laid out on Mr. D. W. Smitlfs land. Before the railroad was completed through the township J. S. Booth of Rhodes built an office and siarted a lumber yard. This yard stood on the present location of the Farmers Lumber Company, the Booth Company, however, did not cover all of the present site of the Farmers Lumber Company, other store buildings and another lumber yard shared the location with Mr. Booth. C. C. Brush erected a building on the property now owned by C. S. Bishop, Mr. Brush later sold out to J. M. Shearer who ran a hardware business and also a furniture store in the same building. Dr. M. T. Brunett brought his two story building over from Clyde, and erected it just north of J. M. Shearer's building. Mr. Brunett's store was a drug store. George Northup erected a dwelling house, the exact location of which is not known. A. Davey father of Chas. Davey, moved his store and stock over from Clyde. The building on the corner, a portion of whicl1 was recently torn down by P. J. Cool, was erected by .l. W. Sego for the purpose of housing a saloon. Elisha Wilson, father of O. A. Wilson, built a blacksmith shop just north of the building now occupied by Carl Rankin, Mr. Wilson erected a residence on the north side of his black- smith shop. Pttge Forty 1927 The Oriole Harger Brothers, general merchandise store was directly north of the Brunett building on the property now owned by Lawrence Halter. Directly north of I-larger Brothers was a resi- dence occupied by Henry Lauderbaugh, north of Mr. Lauderbauglfs house was a long building which housed a carpenter shop run by .lohn Ashely. W. H. Bair had a carpenter shop on the east side of his house. 'This property is now owned by J. Hickman. The old Smith hall cannot be forgotten because it was the center of entertainment, of all public activities, dances, plays, various things all of which were calculated to furnish the dear public with amusement. The hall was located on the lot now occupied by Mrs. McKibbon's resi- dence. When the new school house was built the hall fell into disuse and Mr. Smith divided the building into two separate dwelling houses. The houses are now occupied by Mrs. I. Garri- son and Mrs. McKibbon respectively. Going back to the west side of the street, a barber shop and hotel were just south of the house occupied by Carl Rankin and family. J. F. Klise moved into the new town in January eighteen eighty-four and continued his grocery and drug business. His second son Fred was born January 29, 1884. The young man had the honor of being the first child born in the new town of Baxter. In eighteen eighty-five the Roller Mills were erected on the location which they now occupy and were operated by Fred Gearhart. Several years later a creamery was started by Harris and Company. In the spring of 1883, Rip-pey and Block's addition was added to the town, and Kracht's was platted. From the original town of approximately seventeen acres in 1803, the town had grown to approximately one hundred thirty acres by 1892, and at which time almost every lot was sold and occupied. In 1892 the town of Baxter consisted of the original plat by D. W. Smith. With Rippey's addition, which today is the section of lots occupied by L. Roy Trout, Dan Kline. Frank Dodd and A. W. Jeffries. Kraeht's addition embraced the section of town occupied by Ot. S. Tipton. Chas. Connelly, the Webb estate, Mrs. Earlwine and the Perin property. The Rippey addition also contains the portion of town south from the Commercial Hotel to the Congregational Church and east from the railroad tracks to the tier of lots containing the old Van Dyke properly and extending north to the location of A. O. Wilson's blacksmith shop. Cilmore's addiiion extends from the west end of the school grounds to the eastern city limits. South Park addition consists of the whole town south of the present Congregational church and a portion of the southeast one-quarter of the northeast one-half of section fourteen, and of the southeast one-quarter of the northeast one-quarter of section fifteen. The old Smith Hall was becoming too small to house the school activties, and the teacher was not able to properly instruct the pupils. The people of Baxter voted themselves an independent school district and a new school house was built. It had two large rooms one upstairs and one downstairs, two smaller rooms were added in 18944. this was put on the east side of the main building. The school house itself was erected in 1890. At one time on the northwest side of the railroad tracks there were two dry goods and grocery stores, two lumber yards, two banks, two harness shops, a clothing store, restaurant, shoe shop, blacksmith shop, a hardware, and furniture store, flour mill, bakery, livery barn, fence factory, carpenter shop, and a plaining mill. ' Page Forty-One The Oriole 1927 Later on the southeast side of the railroad tra-cks there were two drug stores, three general merchandise stores, barber shop, jewelry and music store, hardware and furniture store, two butcher shops, livery barns, blacksmith and carpenter shop, millinery shop, two large hotels and creamery. From these places of business there are left today two drug stores, two general mer- chandise stores, two hardware stores, one furniture store, one men's furnishing store, two barber slmps, one butcher shop, two restaurants. and et Cetera. The Congregational Church is the only active church in towng its former location was on the site of the present Peoples State Bank Building. It later burned and the new church was erected on the location which it occupies. The town of Baxter was incorporated early in 1894. However, it did not begin to function until the 28th of .luly of that year. J. D. Richards, the first mayor of the town, took his oath upon that date. The first recorder was D. R. Mann. The first councilmcn or trustees as they were called at that time were W. R. Van Dyke, Wm. Graham, H. S. Downs, Ellis Lowery, R. A. Scott and Peter Burkey. This council met and passed the first ordinance August the 21st, 1894. t-log i W f . ,Q Nothing more of outstanding importance happened until 1897 when in October on the 10th day-Sunday, at around twelve o'clock at night a fire broke out in a livery barn which stood on the present location of H. E. Gould and Company Clothing store. The fire gained in strength and was fanned by a southeast wind which took it across the street and set fire to the business houses on the west side of the street and north of the flag pole. The fire bumed the whole two business blocks on the north of the flag pole and on both sides of the street, to the ground. This part of town was rebuilt, the exact builders are not known but the compiler finds that J. F. Klise built the buildings which house the Baxter Mercantile, Kracht's Cash store. Saak and Tinnermeier, and the butcher shop. The builders of the other buildings are not known by the writer. Another fire which occurred a few years later burned the business block which contains the Peoples State Bank, C. C. Cammack, F. Dodd, W. G. McCullough, the Crystal theater, H. H. Maggard, and the Commercial Hotel. C. C. Cammack's father built the building in which his son now conducts his business, also the People's State bank building. Mr. Cammack was the carpenter and built those buildings for Hager Bros., with the exception of the bank building. The State Bank building' used to house the bank and a general merchandise store. This building was later remodeled to house the bank alone. The bank and the U. S. post office occupy this building at the present time. The building which houses the Mason Motor Co. and A. B. Helming's general merchandise store was erected by Calvin Noah and Louis Wintermeier, Jr. The house which is now occupied by N. L. Neilsen was formerly on the site now occupied by the Mason Motor company, but was moved back when the Motor company building was built in 1917. This brings us up to the present state of affairs. There are, however, a few things which deserve mention. In about 1907 the people of Baxter voted bonds, the aggregate sum of which was for the purpose of light and heat. Page Forty-'l'wo , . 1927 W KA- Phe Oriole The gas plant was operated until the sp-ring of 1915, at which time a municipal electric light plant was installed for the purpose of furnishing electricity to the business houses of town. The patronage, however, grew with such great rapidity that the plant soon proved to be inade- quate. So the Iowa Railway and Light Company ran a transmission line from Marshalltown or State Center to Baxter, Iowa, wired the town and soon twenty-four hour service was had and still is in Baxter. Another important thing is the streets. As you all know, the streets used to be dirt, but dirt streets are not altogether satisfactory and the people awoke to the situation finally, and the first oil was put on by popular subscription. This first coating was put on Main street from Leeper's corner to the depot and from the Christian church east to the depot. The rest of the streets have been oiled in the late years by bond issues issued by the town of Baxter. Last year the main street was graded down and rocked and cement curbs were installed. The streets of Baxter have been under the supervision of Street Commissioner Maggar, for several years, and while under his direction have been in the most excellent condition. One other item that deserves mention is the Baxter cemtery. Restland Cemetery is located on the southwest edge of the town of Baxter. On December 10, 1906, Doctor A. H. Baehanan presented to the town of Baxter a plot of land for use as a burial ground. It was named by the town as Restland Cemetery. This cemetery, because of its beautiful location and an air of peace and quietude proved to be popular and was soon occupied by a number of graves. A great number of the old residents are interred in this cemetery. In 1918 another plot just west of the original was secured by the town and added to the cemetery. In 1920 the management and care of the cemetery was turned over by the town to an organization of women now known as the Restland Cemetery association. Many improvements and developments were carried out. Beautiful drives were laid out, the arrangement of which is most convenient as well as beautiful. The drives are of concrete curb and gravel construction and are designed for one way traffic only. Many and beautiful are the shrubs that border these driveways. ln the Spring when they are turning to a verdent green they make an impression on the mind that is not easily forgotten by anyone, especially those who have loved ones buried there. Along the east side is a row of evergreen trees running the full length of the grounds. Sev- eral other trees have been set out and in a very few years will have grown to maturity. In 1924 a chapel was erected at the head of the main drive and it furnishes a rest room which is very convenient to the public during a funeral in inclement weather. The association has hired a Sexton who is in charge at all times, taking care of the comes tery and improving it at all limes. Additional improvements are being added each year and perpetual upkeep certificates are issued by the association which insures to the owner everlasting upkeep of the lot. Because of the above facts and statements and in the summer bathed in the rays of the dying sun with the echoes of a far off train reverbrating through the hollow, one is made to feel the beauty and the grandeur of the scene. Or some night in late Autumn flooded by the light of a full moon the tombstones stand out gray, somber and stillg the trees stretching their bare arms toward the heavens make sharp ghost-like figures against the sky. lt is then that man feels like an infiui'esimal nothing. This is why Restland Cemetery, for its size, is one of the most beautiful in the state. Page Forty-Three The Oriole pp, pp 1927 Qercbestra BACK HOW-D. Harsha, S. Stock, R. McCullough, D. Gleaues, H.

THE BAXTER SCHOOL BAND The Baxter School Band is a group of students whom the community may well be proud of. These students have shown their ability as musicians. From this group an orchestra has been selected. They have since appeared at all school activities. Under the leadership of Fred Purcell they have shown great improve- ment. We trust that they show even more in the coming years. H The members of the orchsetra are Maurine McCullough, Max Duncan, Paul Trout, Clara Selberg, Helen Stillwell, Wayne Helming, Louise Kline, Harold Krampe, Donald Gleaves and Lorraine Hager. Page Forty-Four 1927 W -E The Oriole 61212 Qllluh The Girls Glee Club was organized in the fall of '22, under the direction of Miss Ruby Henderson, supervisor of music. This club has been active in this period and is a credit to the Baxter High School. Miss Grether, who for the past two years has been director of the club has given many recitals. In the past years operettas were presented. This year the club sang only at different school pro- grams. It is the hope of the staff that this club will continue to develop during the coming years.

But soon there came, the river to FORD A KNIGHT in armor bearing a sword. A PAIGE met him there, and told him to wait, For the great Lord NASH at the castle gate. He crossed the river ESSEX and went Through the trees, whose branches bent Toward the earth, and the goodly sir, Had to DODGE the limbs of fir. At last the ROAMER of the night, Reached the wondrous castle WHITE, To meet the lord he wished to see.
