THE RETROSPECT, 1925 THE FACULTY Mil. JOHN M. FKEXCH— Tliis iiiiiii skillfully In. Ids llic position of principal in P. A. Allen Hii-h Srliool. This is liis liflli year licic and we hope he ' ll be Avith ns for many more. MKS. PEARL BARTHOLOMEW— Mrs. I ' .art lias hccn with us line. ' 3 ' ears. She can nuike Enj lisli real iuterestiiit;. wiiicli is saying a lot. Aside from tearliin, ; ' Eu-lisli she teaches Itihle. i ' ulili.- Speak- m f and iOod behavior in the study halls. MISS HELEN ItKitiS— Another Eu-lish marm but (piite dilTereut in her own way. Her hobby is dramatics, and in this she reiiius su- preme. This is her first year in lUutttou; but. if left u]. 1o us. we would say it ' s not her last. MRS. W: L C. RATLIFF— She teaches Eu-lish. but knows a liUle of everything else. We are willing to book her for as long as she will stay. Just a word of advice before going to her class or study-hall — throw out your gum, and don ' t put any more in your mouth. MISS BLANCHE KARNS— She teaches Latin will: the thoughl of a nice ride in her Buick helping her througli the day. liefore she bought her car she knew a lot about science, art, music, etc. We believe she still knows just as much; but, jtist the .same, the Uuick holds first place in her heart and mind. MR. BYRON HENDERSON— Little but mighty. S].anish and I ' rench he doth speak fluently. He is so meek and mannerly v have all grown quite fond of him. But alas, his heart is elsewhere! We Avish he would marry, and his wife would lend him to us for a cou- ple more years at least. MISS WELTHY SHIVELY— What she doesn ' t km.w about history we don ' t either. She also lias a great deal of kiutwledge about civics and economics. She is the soi-f of teadiei- you want to work f(u- and you usually do. It might no t be a bad idea to advise those who are going to take work of her in the future, to learn the meaning of the word significance for you ' re sure to meet it in liei- class. MISS HARRIET GEKiER— She leaches Ilistoiy. Civics and Occupa- tions. A friend to everybody and everybody her friend. This is her second year in Allen High, but she is welcome to st.iy until she draws a pension even if she does change her name. MR. WM. C. RATLIFF— We hope he likes our high school as well as we like him. He teaches science and seems to know his stuff. He has the regular teacher trait of making his ])U] ils work, but that is in the game, and we won ' t hold it against him. MR. (iLEN rOOLMAN— (!len has been with us for two years. lie is noted in B. H. S. for the basketball second team that he has de- velo]jed. | .._.-............. ._........_........................................................................... .................................................... .„.........,4: THE RETROSPECT 19 2 5 He knows as iiincli (-ciciR-c as we cnuld ever hojx ' Id know, lie also teaelies algel)ra. Don ' t mistake liis ex]n-ession for fniwninii. lie- cause lie Jias a beautiful smile. Mli . FKEl) MOEKI8— Mathematics and Fred are lier specialties. Slie has also taught us lunv to yell. We can scarcely do without her next year, so here ' s hoping hubby doesn ' t take her away. Mil. ALFRED R, PROTSMAX— He tills the hill as a Commercial teacher O. K. This is his first year in P. A. Allen High, but Ave sin- cerely hope he will grace us with his jiresence another year at least. MIS8 MARY SHAFER— This teacher is ( )mniercially inclined, also. If you love lectures go to her class. The oidy trouble with her is that she never can keep her face straight, antl her lectures turn out to l)e friendly advice. MR. M. H. SMITH— Agriculture is his hobby. He looks to be such a (juiii Jiian, but that ' s not saying he doesn ' t know how to teach, ' e extend to him a hearty welcome for a stay willi us next year. MLSkS JiESSlE SALE— We do not know what she teaches niost— Sew- ing or matclnnakiiig, but in botli she is hard to excel. P.ess has been with us for some time, and we ho| e slie always will be, for where she goes, there will we have to go also. MISS XONDES IIA(iLER— Home Economics is her line. Needless to say we love t . visit her department. The best part of all is she seems to understand our hunger for godd tilings and often gives us A (tndeiful eats. MR. L. E. TEMPLIX— Manual Training and Athletics are where he shines. There is something abcul the man that makes everybody like him. (Juess it ' s just because he ' s he. We hope he likes us well enough to stay on for we can ' t afford to lose him. MR. OSCAK KIPPP:— We wonder some times whether if he and Rus- sell aren ' t twins. In looks and manner and methods of teaching athletics there is cei-tainly a great resemblance. .AIISS LrCILE WALTZ— She teaches the girls ' Physical Training. She seems i-atlier small for such a big job, but her height doesn ' t bother hei- at all. This is her second year here, and we hope she re- iriembers that three is the charm. MISS ALK ' E E. PETFHS— She is the Art Supervisor and stands su- preme in her domain. Ve are exjiecling some wondeiful artists fi-om her pupils, and if they don ' t turn out good we know it won ' t be hei- fault. MISS SARAH I. McCOXXELL— She hath a method all her own. She is the : rusic Supervisor. She has certaiidy (huie us a lot of good since she has been with us. We hoj.e she will not leave us for good because she has jusi started us 071 the ujiwaid movement in music. Mil. EDWARD WIIITF— V.m can tell he is smart bv looking at him. THE RETROSPECT, 1925 k SENIORS THE RETROSPECT, 1925 CLASS HISTORY The ever distinguished elass of 192 ) entered 15. H. S. in ' 21 with tlie pep and vigor wliicli has since cliai-arterized it during the four years in liigh school. Miss Karns was cliosen as Faculty advisor, not only for our freshman year, but for each succeeding year. This established a i recedent in High School in the Avay of faculty advisors. Miss Karns has un(loul)tedly been one of the best advisors in tlie school and the class lias never regretted it ' s choice. The class enteicd into all l)ranc]ies of school activities whether social, scholastic or athletic and lias always produced leaders in each branch. During the first two years, wliile not so strong in athletics, the class entered in contests witli the other classes such as Red Cross Drives, Spelling Matches, Debates and won tirst ])lace in a large ])ercentage of them. In the last two years, in addition to kee])ing uj) the sjilendid work of the preceding two years, the class contributed its share of men on all the athletic teams, in fa t, not a U ' w of the best ])layei-s are fi-om the class of ' 25. Otificers who were l)est titled foi- the position have always been elected. As an example, the othcers of the Senior year are Don Carnal], (President); Lawrence Decker ( N ' ice Tresident ) ; Miriam l.antis (Sec- retary), and Jack Thomas (Treasurer). , s would be natural the Senior year was by far the busiest on account of the class jilay, baii(|uet, Ketros])ect, commencement. The class ])ro(luced the musical comedy, -Fleuiette, as their class play. II was one of the best Seiiioi- jilays e ( ' r shown in Itlutt ' ton. As a final showing of respect, (he Ket rospecl, (he masterpiece of a graduating class, was dedicated to liss Karns as an acknowledgment of her services. Certainly the work which the class has dcme and the ideals for whicli it has stood will remain long in (he memory of the coming classes of students of lUuffton High School. JOKAY, ' 25.

Mrs. Grey made toast on a patented electric toaster and boiled coffee iu a shiny percolator. The kitchen boasted no friendly range, nothing but a severe, black and white gas stove. Jean lay awake a long time that night, thinking. Oh, well, any- waj ' Nature would not disa])point her. In the morning she ' would rise with the sun and trip briskly o ' er the sylvan dales, she would, jirobably bathe her feet in some crystal brookl(4, babbling along over silver jiebbles. and carol — v ' ith — the — birds — Next morning- Jean arose A itli the sun and found it not nearly so pleasant as lying (a bed. he hastily donned her clothes and trotted down stairs. She half expected Irs. (irej- to be up and stirring with the birds, (as were the story-book ladies) but that modernized woman was peacefully sleeping in her room. It did look fresh and green outside and Jean started blithely down the road. Soon she came to a liroad stone fence that looked in- viting. She crawled upon it and A alked along the precarious ledge. After a few hundred feet, she came to a wood-lot and jumped lightly to the ground annmg the trees. A startled exclanuition escaped her as she sank ankle deep in the soft ' woodland dell. ' The wall was too high to crawl back u]pon, and so she floundered around as best she could making for a lislaiit line of shrubbery that, to all appearances, concealed a silver stream, wherein one might cleanse one ' s mudily boots. Half expecting to be disajipointed again. Jean ai)pi-oached cau- tiously and peered around the trunk of a hugv oak. If it were really th.ere it wasn ' t going to gel way, this time, she thought grimly. And there it vas, with a nice, oNci-hanging, bank to sit on. Jean sat. Hey, there, watch iiere you ' re silling! a warning voice shouted behind her. She turned and that iustanl, the grassy earth beneath her gave a little heave, then crumbled, and she fell ]dump into the creek. It was no soothing Lethian stream in which she sat waist-deep, it was an icy cold stream that stung her into sliai-per discomfort. A ](air of strong arms lifted her and set her, safe and shivering, on the bank. Look before you leaji, (pioted the hero, as he started to wraji her in an (dd coat. Jean looked , somellnng in the voice striking her as familiar. THE RETROSPECT, 1925 est M-l- ic yi W (II m do. ell li( iiiaiici ) fl ( ' kil.-li.

So Johnny cut the switch and started down, liis motor had nearly stopped. As soon as he was down he jumped ont and started examining the motoi-. He found out that the timer was very dirty and the oil j.nmp was stopped up. He started (deaning the timer contacts, lie had three id ' them cleaned when he heard a noise hm-k of him. He looked around; there where four [Mexicans on horses.

He told tile Mexican to go hack and tell the smngglei-s lo stay there or he would give them the machine gnn. The Mexicans knew what a ten-ilde path the machine gun makes. So the .Mexican went on his way and Johnny llnally got his motor started after working with it for about five minutes. He was soon in the air. The smugglers were standing still imt trying to move. Johnny began to unwind his aerial and send a nu ' s- sage to the ticdd for help. He sent the message several times and then turned to watch the smugglers. Once they triinl to get away, but he gave them a hail of bullets in front of them, they turned back not want- ing to go through the hail of bullets without a bullet proof umbrella.

We ' ve slipped and we ' ve gained, we ' ve lost and we ' - But we have scored fairly well at that. Teams have tied in this famous ninth inning. They have won and have lost by an inch, So it ' s all in the start, the beginning That we can honor the gain in a pinch. Wet diamonds have dampened their spirits, Wild plays often end with disgust. Our diamonds are dry, and our players are spry. So fight ' em and beat ' em we must. See, our colors are brighter than ever. Our honor is wrapt in their folds. Oh, the meaning this inning could sever. Give the bat to the man who is bold. Hear the Ump — the play is just starting, Each base has its man on the tield. And our team is ready, sure footed and steady, Just one run and they ' ll have to yield. Yea, the triumphant blasts of the bugle. Or the blood piercing cries of the chase. The knight in his gear, or the ride of Revere, No, nothing could out-run this race. Ball one. and the batter stands firmly. Ball two, and his eye sweeps the plate. One strike, and his arm swings the bat like a But his efforts have rallied too late. You ' re out and the grand stand gives echo. Strike one passes up with a roar, Strike two and strike three. Oh, pray, can ' t yoi We are losing as never before. They are cheering and roaring their hisses, They are mad with delight at our loss. But stop — this is the famous ninth inning, And the last batter, is nailed to his cross. Oh. you wondrous, you daring last batter, 1 know not your home nor your fame. But I do know this, that if you hit or miss. You ' ve won because you ' ve played the game. On Your shoulder ' s, my son, is the burden. Three strikes, forfeit them and retard. But if I see you swing, with the strength of you I ' ll say that you ' ve made the last yard. In the halls of Fame and of Justice, In the ramparts of victories ' field, Neath the little white crosses of Flanders, Lay the spoils that would not yield.
