BOLIVAR HIGH SCHOOL BLIZZARD 5 BOLIVAR HIGH SCHOOL “BLIZZARD” 7 Seniors 1925 The senior class of 1924-25 is no better or no worse than its predecessors. There is the usual amount of intelligence, talent and brains as is found in other classes. But we have one distinctive feature— there are just thirteen of us. Thirteen is perhaps an unlucky number but we have been unusually lucky so far. Everyone made their counts in January and if none of the papers are returned by hard-hearted regents officials we have cause for rejoicing. The one cause for friction between classes, the annual rite of painting the tank with the ruling class number, was finally settled. Everyone agrees that the strange hieroglypics on the tank looks as much like a five as a six and therefore everyone is satisfied. The juniors, however, sturdily insist that it is a “six” while the seniors maintain that it has more resemblance to a “five.” Our senior play was a complete success both financially and dramatically, so we are told. Who can forget: Willie’s lack of pep, Kate’s use of the mother tongue, Mrs. Easton’s domineering personality, Mr. Easton’s henpeck, Elizabeth’s foolish infatuation, and all the rest of the acting which was so well done by the rest of the class. To make you more acquainted with the wonders of nature which we have in the class we will now go on a sight-seeing trip through the senior section of study hall. We are now entering the rear study hall door. Directly in front of you is Mary Cummings the dashing strawberry blonde who through her quiet winning ways and hard studying has won her admiration throughout her high school years. Occupying the same compartment you see Josephine McDivitt, the eighth wonder of the world, who at the delicate age of 15 proves that work works wonders. Directly in front sits Margaret Wainman, who joined our ranks last September, the Baby Peggy of Little Genesee. To the rear on the left are seen Edwina Smith and Genevieve Williams. The former bears a resemblance to a French style of slippers both being short vamps. The latter, “Our Little Midget,” who although very small has a great line of talk. In front of this unmatchable pair sits Marguerite White and Feme Wilson. Marguerite is one of the few remaining specimens in the B. H. S. who believes in thinking much and saying naught. Feme is our blushing bride of the paste diamond episode on the Washington trip. To the left and back of this combination you see Florence Shaner and Olive Lain. Florence is our beautiful ash blonde being the only 8 BOLIVAR HIGH SCHOOL BLIZZARD” JUNIOR CLASS BOLIVAR HIGH SCHOOL BLIZZARD 9 member of the class who lias not sacrificed her beautiful tresses to the ruthless hand of the barber. Thanks to the influence of John. Olive, a sweet little olive for Charlie, my boy, occupies the high position of vice president in our class. Florence Murphy who sits directly in front of the last mentioned, is our talented school musician. As a tickler of the ivories she ranks supreme. Passing on to the boys’ section wo first find Melvin Howard Van-Curen, the dashing alentino of the class. At Washington Mel displayed his powers over women to good advantage. Sharing the same compartment is Harry Sackett, well known for his patent leather hair and aptitude for taking the part of a snob in the senior play. Last but not least, we see Malcolm McDivitt, our honorable president. Mac is noted for his masterful reign over the senior class and for his “Backbone.” Our Washington trip was an eventful one. Much hilarity was displayed by the various members on the train. (fur hotel accommodations were not of the best but nevertheless we enjoyed ourselves to the utmost. At various hours of the night or morning stern faced deetectives were seen promenading down the halls and at these times the scurrying of many feet and the slamming of many doors were noticeable. The first night, just as we were settling ourselves for a good night’s rest (at 3 A. M.) we were rudely aroused by the fire alarm and the clanging of many fire trucks. We were very much frightened and were all hanging out of the windows trying to see the big fire, but it was only a false alarm. This was only one of the many exciting incidents of our wonderful trip. We arrived in Glean at 4:30 A. M. on April 14, tired but happy. May the seniors of next year study as hard and enjoy themselves as thoroughly as we have always done. Juniors The Junior class of ’25 is a lively and frisky bunch. At the first part of this year there was quite a disastrous conflict between Juniors and Seniors as to who was to have their number on the tank. But of course the strong and robust Juniors showed the Seniors who was boss. Of course it would be improper not to mention the Junior-Senior reception. It was one of the most successful affairs that the school has ever functioned. As to the members of our class we will summarize their various activities during the year: Stella Ward—Our faithful class president, who has stood by us through thick and thin. Paul Husak—The “Hon. Paul” from Horse Hun is a vice president, also editor and chief of our year book. Star of “Casey at the Bat.” Gladys Orcutt—Secretary and treasurer has charge of all the class money. She is interested in vamping and has proved very successful. She is interested in carpenter work. Roberta Lain—A very efficient captain of the girls’ basketball team. She is here in body but not in spirit—that is in Buffalo. 10 BOLIVAR HIGH SCHOOL BLIZZARD' B H. S. SOPHOMORE CLASS Fred Newton—One of the few perfect gentlemen of Kossuth. Grace Baker was the winner of the second prize in annual speaking contest. John McMurdy can not concentrate on his studies during any time that Thelma is near. Bernice Bliss and Ellouise Fetters are two of the very few in the student body who are pious. Howard Hoot had the misfortune of breaking his arm and couldn’t have his picture taken with the rest of the gang. Hazel Baldwin—Much more of a flapper since she has resided in Bolivar. Harry Hendrickson—The sheik of Bolivar high school. Thelma Weaver—You ought to taste her filled cookies. Howard VanCuren took the fateful trip to Washington which caused him to be quite absent-minded of late. Lawrence Slmner—A lot of nothing. Clarence Shaner—The class “jaz hound.” Helen Dougherty might have graduated but preferred to remain in the Junior class. Myrtle Cady—A pretty nice girl at that. Charles Mead—He likes olives— both ways. Velma Green—The sweetest little duckling of them all, also very bashful. Keith Perry—Everything in general—fun, study and athletics. This is our crowd—watch our smoke. BOLIVAR HIGH SCHOOL BLIZZARD 11 Freshmen Fred Max son—Class poet. Howard Millard—Alias Hob. Our Freshmen class of ’24-’25 has a membership of about 45. I suppose you are wondering if all of this large class will graduate together in 11)28. We have a number of our members who are entered in athletics, and many of them made good. We also have another member worthy of mention. She is Maxine Nelson who won the speaking contest this year. Another speaker from our midst is Emmogene Day.—Marion Hoffman and Burdette Thomson.

BOLIVAR HIGH SCHOOL ‘BLIZZARD” 13 The Freshness of Our Freshmen (By Frederick Maxson) At the first of the list we have Thelma Guild, Who built the Greek house and left out the sills. I have just one thing to say: “In building a house this is a very poor way.” Then next comes Sealand Appleby with his permanent waves, Who, when he gets older will use a hoe when he shaves. But sure this fellow isn’t what lie’s stuck up to be, Because when walking with Chief, hardly comes to his knee. But next comes Marjorie Burdick and about her 1 will say That you hardly ever see her fellow crossing the field that way. She runs with Harold Burdick, much about him I do not know. But alias it will be Mrs. Burdick even though he is working slow. Then we have Irene Casey whom they call the red-haired vamp, And I would advise Miss Casey not to get around where it is damp. For she is thin, and very weak, and her bones show through the hide. She looks as though she was on the beach at the income of the tide. Sure we cannot leave out Emmo-gene Day, one of our loud speakers, But when it comes to school work, she is sure not one of the seekers. And then we have the brother of Hon. P. E. Iiusak, our representative from Horse Bun. He is known to the students as Alois Husak, and believe me boys lie’s a son-of-a-gun. Say people, 1 almost forgot .Julius Cook, Who can play a violin without a book. They also say lie’s a very good astronomer And takes English from Mrs. Bal-mer. Edgar Dillie, is he studious? Why, studious is no name, But when it comes to things outside of school he is also at that game. As 1 sit here thinking how lazy some people are, A vision comes into my mind of Eddie Ervin, our lazy star. They call him the interior decorator from the drawings he has made W ith pencil and rule he can outline a school and never miss a shade. We have with us William Foster, whom they named as our southpaw, And when it comes down to laziness, before he’d cook a potato he’d eat it raw. And next comes Marion Hoffman. She is a beautiful girl. She could beat anyone at basketball and do it on the whirl. Here comes Lydia Ingalls who’s called “the perfect blonde,” ■And when it comes to going out with fellows, of this she’s verv fond. 14 BOLIVAR HIGH SCHOOL “BLIZZARD” Sure we cannot leave out Helen Johnson who boasts of her Scandinavian (Nordic) descent, And when it comes down to her studying, talking is where most of her time is spent. Nevah Jones who drums the orchestra piano is the girl of powder and paint. And when it comes down to music, it sounds like a harp, but it ain’t. Although she is very pretty and plays by note very well, She cannot go out on the stage and why, is just what I won’t tell. Richard Miller, who tries to outdo his brother Paul At noon, when he’s at school, he is out there playing ball. Doris Monroe, the big girl of 192H, Who runs with fellows and stays out late. Much about this 1 will not relate, But sometime or other she’ll find out her fate. We have here with us Marguerite Nelson, calm, quiet and sedate. A study in contrasts and when it comes to classes She can’t find half questions enough to ask. Maxine Nelson, who is a distinguished speaker especially when she’s in school, She can always laugh and snicker, lay aside all the stuff that Maxine does, If she stopped for a minute someone else would begin to buzz. Arthur Richardson, our football star of ’24, He’s such a hard kicker he’d raise anyone’s floor, But when it comes down to football, he is always at the game, No matter who kicked him in the slats he always appears the same. Irene Seamans, so they all say, Could play basketball any day. She is tall and can run very fast. She’d jump and hit the ball and blat like a calf. Nelson Shavalier, or our friend “Nellie,” Hit a guy and almost knocked him silly. And when in the scouts lie’s a very good guy, And at any game lie’s always spry. Virgie Taylor, our star in commercial arithmetic, Would drive “Mose” almost frantic, or else make him a lunatic. When it comes to working, she’s pretty good, But she can do arithmetic in a Klu Kluxer’s hood. Oh, sure we cannot leave out Edith Sprague who talks serenely and laughs often. Some day she will talk and talk off her head and then they can buy her a coffin. Burdette Thompson being our author, naturally forbids comment, And when it comes to anything but talking he ain’t worth a cent. Winifred Ward is as fat as can be And carries the keys to biology. We don’t want to leave out Lawrence Wightman, our left hand marvel of basketball. And when he gets the ball in his possession he dribbles it the length of the hall. And when he shoots at the basket he always drops it straight in, And if you watch him very long, your head will begin to spin. BOLIVAR HIGH SCHOOL BLIZZARD 15 The Washington Trip The Bolivar High school senior class, accompanied hv friends and faculty members, departed from (Mean on the morning of April 4tli for (lie annual Washington trip, an epoch in the career of all gra mating classes. Following is a list of those taking the trip: Weldon Foster, .June Walters, Julia Carlson, Ruth Potter, Edgar Dillie, Earle Harrington, Frances Eisler, Roberta Lain, Marcedas Turner, M. H. VanCuren, non-members of class of ’25; Harry Sackett, Malcolm McDivitt, Feme Wilson, Edwina Smith, Josephine McDivitt, Florence Murphy, Florence Shaner, Genevieve Williams, Margaret Wainman, Mary Cummings, of the class of ’25; Violet Hoffman, Elsie Luther and R. C. Witter, of the school faculty. Arriving at the capitol city Saturday evening, April 4, after a rather tedious but somewhat hilarious ten hours on the Pennsylvania railroad, the group of high school seniors, teachers and friends repre- senting Xunda, Belfast, Arkport, Belmont, Fillmore, East Aurora, Richburg and Bolivar, anchored at the National hotel, were assigned their rooms and might have been in bed by 10:30 had they been so inclined. Generally speaking, the first evening was passed quietly enough, everyone seeming to feel the need of a good rest before venturing forth to “explore the wonders” of America’s most beautiful city. Sunday morning found the group which numbered about 155, en-route for Annapolis, Md., via the Baltimore-Washington trolley, Here the state capitol and the U. S. naval academy were major points of interest. Submarine chasers, yachts and other vessels lined up at the Annapolis docks were subjected to considerable scrubbing, while the antics of a group of Philippino sailors on the ball field amused the spectators. Sunday evening found most members of the group back in 16 BOLIVAR HIGH SCHOOL “BLIZZARD” Washington at the Congressional library, one of the finest and most elaborate structures in the capital city. Monday morning was passed at the fisheries and at Arlington National cemetery. The latter stop was most impressive due to the visit, to the grave of America’s unknown soldier, the mast of the battleship Maine, tiie old Lee mansion and other marks of historic interest. Just as the party entered the national burying ground a military funeral was observed which lent considerable color to the scene. The afternoon hours were profitably engaged in the trip to Mt. Vernon where the mansion and grounds of Washington’s estate were inspected. Returning to Washington, the evening was devoted quite generally to theatre attendance, Keith’s being most popular. Tuesday morning the party “made” the national capitol building, the bureau of printing ana engraving and the Washington monument, a structure 555 feet in height. The latter was ascen 'ed with considerable perspiration since the elevator was not in action and the only means of ascent available was by stairway. On Wednesday the party was assured of the honor of meeting President Coolidge at the White House. President Coolidge seemingly evinced a desire to pass through his line of hand-shakers as quickly as possible, and four minutes after the long line of well-wishers had started to move through the executive offices of the White House, the experience of meeting a president was a thing to be reflected on. The general concensus of opinion among members of the Bolivar party was that President Coolidge was far too busy a man to spend much time in greeting visitors. Thursday was the day set for departure from the capitol city. The party left enroute to Philadelphia, and passed the afternoon in the Quaker City. Motor bus accommodations conveyed the group about the city, dropping them at the Broad street station, and leaving them to their own devices until evening. Piling into the Pennsylvania R. R. sleepers shortly after seven o’clock, the members of the party were at last settled, and as the train rolled on into the night, a few hours of much needed slumber were gained. The arrival at Clean was in the darkness of the early morning, some time in the vicinity of four o’clock. The party—tired, travel stained, and generally weary —presented a rather woeful appearance. Sprawled on waiting room benches in every conceivable position, they awaited the trains that were to convey them to their respective villages. When the Philadelphia train paused at Clean, less than five minutes was allowed for the party to alight. Earle Harrington, dreaming blissfully of the wonders of the capitol city, did not arouse easily. He was left on the train to be put off at Franklinville and to return to ()lean on a later passenger service. At home the goddess of sleep was assiduously courted by all members of the party—at least for a day or more. But now that some time has passed since the excursion and time has dimmed the memory of vicissitudes, the “wonders of oui- trip to Washington” are sometimes rehearsed. BOLIVAR HIGH SCHOOL “BLIZZARD li BOY SCOUTS Boy Scouts of America A year and a half has passed since the Boy Scouts of Troop I, Bolivar, N. Y., made their first appearance as an organization. In looking back over things which have happened, the most skeptical must admit that the time has been well spent. The organization of course has changed somewhat in personnel as all these organizations do, for the Boy Scouts of America are always eager to welcome to their ranks all wide awake boys of Id years or more who want to join. The troop committee, as represented in the new charter, now consists of R. C. Witter, chairman, H. L. Ilulett, P. II. Dougherty and C. M. VanCuren. The executive end is in charge of M. M. Larrabee, scout master, and Reverend (). 0. Baker, assistant scout master. So, if tho interest and co-operation of the boys themselves does not fall below what it has been in the past year and a half, there is no reason why the organization cannot look forward to another year, or what is better, years of wonderful benefit and enjoyment such as only work of this kind can give. By far the most interesting part of this article will be in telling of the work which has been done and the events which have happened during Troop I’s existence in Bolivar. The culmination of all the scouts’ activities of 1923-24 came in the camping trip to Cuba Lake, which took place in the latter part of the summer shortly before school started. Here followed such a week of jolly fun and profitable entertainment as never to be forgotten by all scouts who were present. Each day was one round of swim- BOLIVAR HIGH SCHOOL BLIZZARD” 18 ming, diving, cooking, rowing, canoeing, hiking, and every other form of entertainment both protit-able and enjoyable. The whole camp was organized into groups which looked after the details of camp life such as cooking, dish washing, cleaning up the grounds, planning meals, etc., and, by changing around every day, each one had valuable experience in the things mentioned above. Perfect discipline prevailed, and, when the time came to go, all were sorry that there was not a week more. Troop 1 upheld the traditions of the organization when several of its members were responsible for the saving of two women from drowning, a thing which should make every Bolivar scout proud of his troup and anxious himself to add to its good name. The year following the camp has now nearly come to a close, and every scout looks forward with eager anticipation to another camp this summer. The interest has been kept alive and even increased by frequent hikes and over night camps. The number of second class scouts is steadily growing larger and this summer should be the opportunity for many to become first class scouts, which is the iirst goal of all scouts. From this enviable position, they can look forward to becoming Eagle scouts, life scouts, etc., and also to be wearing the coveted merit badges, the mark of scout achievement and attainment in various useful arts and sciences. Finally, in closing, the Boy Scouts of Bolivar wish to thank one and all for any help that they have given, or any interest they have shown and appeal to all for their co-operation in making con- ditions better in Bolivar especially for young people, and what could be a better plan, along this line, than to make it possible for their boys to become future scouts and the girls to become members of similar worthwhile organizations. The members of Troop I at the present time are as follows: Scribe, Lawrence Wightman; bugler, William Osgood. Otter Patrol—Patrol leader, William Osgood; assistant patrol leader, Lawrence Wightman; and members: Frank Henderson, Fred Maxson, Howard Shaner, Melvin Shaner, Nelson Shavalier, Howard VanCuren, LeRoy Seely. Beaver Patrol: Patrol leader, Fred Newton; assistant patrol lea 1-er, Howard Richardson; and members: Joseph Shaner, Burton Buell, Robert Sawyer, William Foster, Bernard Jones, Guy Bullock, Robert Richardson. New members: Guy Wilber, Edward Dougherty, Donald Good-ridge, Joseph Smith. + 1111 M� 1 HI + M mm Ml — ■ — ■ «. t R. C. Ressler Dry Goods and Notions Allen “A” and Phenix Hosiery BOLIVAR, N.

The team of 1924, light and inexperienced, achieved the distinction (if such it may be called) of going through the season without scoring a point. Seven games were played. The Alfred Frosh game was the best of the season, the score being 26 to 0 in favor of Alfred Frosh. Alfred scored three touchdowns and two goals in the first quarter. Bolivar then settled down to work and held Alfred until the last quarter when Alfred received one touchdown. The Hornell and Glean games were the poorest games of the season. Bolivar was both outclassed and outweighed. Bolivar was outweighed in every game of the season but they were classed as one of the best fighting teams in the county. Boys’ Basketball The B. II. S. basketball team, season of 1924-25, fared as good, if not better than the teams of several preceding years. Although slow in getting started towards a winning streak, the boys ended up in a fairly good season. The first game of the season which was played with the Alfred Frosh on the latter’s court was not a high school game. Bolivar was outclassed from the start by the players of Alfred who were to be classed as a first class sub-college team. The contest closed with a victory for Alfred, 35 to 16. The second game was played with Friendship at Friendship and the local boys were again defeated by a score of 24 to 11. The game was very loose the first half, which enabled Friendship to gain a lead which Bolivar was not able to overcome. The third and poorest game of the season was played at Cuba. The cause of the defeat was due to lack of practice. The score ended 52 to 7, favor of Cuba. The fourth was a repetition of the first game. It was played with Glean H. S. at Glean and ended in their victory, 52 to 12. BOLIVAR HIGH SCHOOL “BLIZZARD” 21 The fifth game was played with Wellsville at Bolivar. This game was a closely contested game throughout. It ended however, in a defeat for Bolivar, 18 to 20. The sixth and seventh games were repetitions of the fifth, both defeats for Bolivar. The first with Friendship at Bolivar, 10 to 27, the latter with Wellsville at Wellsville, 11 to 22. These last three games had shown that Bolivar was getting into her stride. The eighth and ninth games were both victories for Bolivar over Richburg, 20 to 11 and 18 to 17. Both games, especially the latter were closely contested. The tenth game was played at Bolivar with Westbrook Academy of Olean. This was a very hard fought game from start to finish and although slightly demoralized in the second half by the loss of Kroh, forward, Bolivar won her third victory, 18 to 17. The eleventh game was with Portville at Portville and Bolivar went down to a good defeat, 18 to 20. This game was won by Portville in the last three minutes. The twelfth and thirteenth games were both victories for Bolivar which showed the fighting spirit which was in the boys. The first was with Fillmore H. S. at Bolivar, a victory of 50 to 19, and the latter was with Portville at Bolivar, 32 to 15. The tournament at Olean then came and Bolivar in her first night’s game again defeated Fillmore 56 to 7. The next game at the tournament was played with Cuba and Bolivar lost her chance of winning the championship by a score of 37 to 13. St. Bona’s H. S. played next at Bolivar and like Alfred were out of Bolivar’s ciass. The contest ended with their victory, 32 to 16. Bolivar then went on an overnight trip to Franklinviile and lost their 17 th game, 30 to 20. The eighteenth and nineteenth games were both played with Belmont, ana were both won by the old B. II. S. The first at Bolivar, 2i to 16, and the latter at Belmont, 19 to 18. The twentieth game was played at Bolivar with Belfast and ended in a victory for Bolivar, 46 to 27. This ended the season. Out of the total of 19 high school games, not counting the two with Alfred, Bolivar won nine and lost 10 games, a percentage of 450.

The season’s games have proved more successful this year, due to the faithful and thorough coaching of our physical training teacher, Miss Hawley. Owing to lack of practice our first game with Cuba was a defeat sufficient enough to discourage us, but we kept up our courage and the three following games were smashing victories for us. All games being won by more than doubling our opponents score. Center college experienced no greater joy in defeating Harvard than we did in defeating Friendship, who for some time have been able to defeat Bolivar. The last two games brought out the “ole fight” and fairness which we have cultivated through practice, throughout the whole season. We have tried to use and to remember these things in playing and as a motto: We should play a game for its own sake, never spoiling the spirit of the game, or lowering the dignity of them by playing for profit at the expense of somebody else. If a game is not interesting enough in itself, we should leave it alone. We try not to break Hie rule of fair play, by playing for any reason other than for the pure love of the game. e play the game for the game, ana for nothing but the game. We must think of the game and not of ourselves. The game is lost in which one member of the team seeks his own glory. Especially we try to be good losers, ana to do this wiih cheerfulness and grace, to a victor who has played the game, leaving haggling, grudging and quarreling to meaner souls, and not spoiling the temper of the game by claiming doubtful points or insisting on little rights. We should be willing rather to lose a thousand games than win one by the shadow of unfairness. We try to be loyal or the game is lost. Everything calls for the qualities in holding together of the team. If we are loyal to our team, to our school, we shall be loyal to our town; so the beginning of patriotism lies in our games.

T1 llw MM ' HU ■■ — H� ■� + BOLIVAR HIGH SCHOOL ‘ BLIZZARD 25 The Hebrew People By VELMA GREEN '27 The Hebrews were a Semitic nation. They were men of the desert just as the Egyptians were men of the Nile River valley. They were wandering shepherds for many years and taught Christianity during these years. The Hebrew stmy begins with the departure of Abraham out of Ur of the Chaldees, about 2000 B. C. He had higher ideas of God than did his countrymen so naturally he became discontented with the religion. In his wanderings with his family and followers while hunting for the promised land and also a place where they could secure food he went to the Nile valley in Egypt and finally settled in Canaan. They lived peacefully in Egypt for a while but developed so great in numbers that the Egyptians were afraid of an uprising by the combined forces of the Hebrews and other enemies of the Egyptians. There arose a new dynasty of kings who at last drove them into slavery • and oppressed them sorely. This was really caused hv the antaganism of the people concerning their religions. The Hebrews were believers of monotheism whereas the Egyptians were believers in the worship of animals and nature. At last while the Egyptian government was in a state of disorder the oppressed people, being encouraged by Moses, their leader, decided to migrate from the country. They crossed the bead waters of the Red Sea and at last became wandering shepherds of the desert again. The pharaoh of Egypt gave them permission to go because he thought it would be a relief but very soon after they were gone he was sorry he gave them permission to go so he immediately gathered a large army of foot soldiers and chariots and pursued the fugitives. He overtook them just as they reached the Red Sea and it would have been sure destruction for the fleeing multitude had the quick sands of the Red Sea not compelled the “Pharaoh” and his army to return. Then an event which was called the “Exodus” occurred. This was a forty years’ period of wandering by the Hebrew people led by Moses and later by Joshua, Moses’ successor. They were kept together thru forty years of wandering just by the tact of their leader. He taught them to believe that their final deliverance was in Jehovah, the one and only God whom they should worship. Joshua, having overthrown the city of Jericho with its strongly built walls by the help of their in.,,, Jehovah, conquered Palestine and settled down there. The land was divided among the twelve tribes. These twelve tribes were Judah, Issachar, Zebelun, Reuben, Simeon, Gad, Ephraim, Manasseh, Benjamin, Dan, Asher, and Naphtali. Each of these had separate captains whom it is needless to name. They became an agricultural people instead of pastoral and tilled the soil. During this time there arose a line of national heroes who were called judges since they performed a kind of judicial function. However, there was no individual leader and the government was really an an- 26 BOLIVAR HIGH SCHOOL BLIZZARD” archy but at last the people became (lissatished with the judges and asked that a king be given them. The people wished particularly to have a king in order to have a closer union and a stronger government which they could not very easily have when the government was led by the judges. They deemed it best to have a monarchy because Canaanitish tribes were so near and so dangerous to a nation that was exposed to an attack. The government was changed to a monarchy and Saul, of the tribe of benjamin was chosen as their king. The chief reason that he was chosen was because of his commanding stature and royal aspect. He subdued the enemies of the Hebrews successfully, brought the tribes into union, and settled the affairs of the new state, but he also carried on many wars with the neighboring states, the Ommonites, the Philistines and others. Towards the close of his reign Saul lost his reasoning faculties, had many tits of gloom and despondency ami tin-ally passed into actual insanity. Thus the closing years of his life were clouded by insanity. However, at last he and also his three sons fell in a battle with the Philistines upon Mount Gilboa. The second king of the monarchy was David, son of Jesse, of the tribe of Judah. The prophet, Samuel, had prophesied for David to expect tlu crown. He had to crush the attempt of Saul’s son to gain the crown before he could begin to enlarge and to strengthen his dominion. After doing this David seized the strong fortress of Jehus, possessed by the Jebusites, which was in the midst of the district allotted to Judah. This fortress was one of the many Canaanitish strongholds in the land, the defenders of which the Israelites had been unable to dislodge. He changed the name from Jehus to Jerusalem and established his capitol there. He built a royal palace at Jerusalem with the aid of the Phoenician artists. David transformed the war-like tribes into a conquering people. By his conquests he extended the limits of his empire on all sides especially on the north and south. In the north he extended it to the Euphrates and on the south to the Red Sea. He waged a great many wars of extermination against the troublesome tribes of Noah and Edom. David led the Philistines into slavery during his reign by simply slinging a stone which hit the leader of the Philistines on his head and killed him. He developed the Hebrew literature a great deal during his time. He sang lyric songs, of such a spirit of devotion and trust that since his day they have been a source of comfort and inspiration to thousands. He wrote mostly all of the psalms which are a book of the Bible. At the close of his reign he began to collect material for building a magnificent temple but lie was not able to realize this hope because of his death. The third and last king was Solomon, the youngest son of David. The eldest son of David was not allowed to be king because of making a conspiracy against his father and he was also dead at the time the power of reigning would have fallen into his hands. The eldest, son’s name was Absalom and the second was Adonijah, who was excluded from reigning because of a crime similar to that of his elder brother. Solomon gave his kingdom an air of oriental magnificence. However he did not possess David’s talent in military affairs but he erected the temple according to David’s plans. lie did this with the aid of King Hiram of Tyre, one BOLIVAR HIGH SCHOOL “BLIZZARD” 27 of his close friends, who supplied him with the celebrated cedar of Lebanon and also with the Tyrian architects, the most skilled workmen in the world at that time. He also huilt other sumptuous palaces of beautiful architecture and adornment. lie built Hoots on the Mediterranean sea and Red sea for the purpose of extending commerce with Egypt and the East. He amassed enormous wealth by sending ships to the most remote regions of Asia and Africa and appropriating the wealth that they brought with them on their return. Tadmor, a city built to be used as a sort of caravansary, was built to facilitate the overland trade of the Euphrates valley and other regions. Tadmor was built in the midst of the Syrian desert. This wealth and glory was purchased at the price of his nation’s honor as he impoverished his subjects and entirely disregarded the laws of Moses. The Hebrew kingdom became practically an oriental monarchy as did Babylon. He married an Egyptian princess and that was partly what caused him to adopt eastern habits and customs. The wisest king of the East was Solomon, he was versed in botany, being acquainted with all the plants and trees that he could possibly learn about. He was witty as is shown by his proverbs. Tt is said that he had seven hundred wives of all different nationalities and religions. Tn the end Solomon became a worshipper of idols and thus turned the whole kingdom against himself and also prepared a way for the dissensions and wars that followed after his death. He used all of the country’s resources and left it nearly bankrupt. When Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, became king the people begged him to enlighten the heavy taxes that his father had enforced. Rehoboam refused to do this so ten of the tribes, all except Benjamin and Judah, revolted and took Jeroboam as their king. The ten tribes which were in the north were called Israel, with Samaria as its capital, and the two tribes in the south under the reign of Rehoboam, with Jerusalem as its capital was called J udah. lien these are torn in twain it makes them an easy mark for the monarchies in the neighboring districts. The kingdoms are so destined to he ground to pieces by the larger kingdoms. During the time these two kingdoms are in existence, they do not accomplish much. These is a struggle going on between the two religious parties during the time Israel exists for a period of about two hundred and hftv years. The worshippers of idols light for their religion just as the monotheistic people light for their religion and neither party gains anything in the conflict. At last Israel fell into the power of the Assyrian king Sargon II and he took them to Nineveh where they are simply lost in history. A few of the poorer class of Jews remained but not enough to unite and accomplish anything. During this time the kingdom of Judah was also having religious dissensions but existed for about four centuries. A line of eighteen kings ruled Judah until Babylonia began to extend west and Judah had to acknowledge Babylonia’s superiority. Nebuchadnezzar then destroyed the kingdom and carried the captives away to Babylonia. Afterwards, however, they were allowed to return to Jerusalem as subjects of Cyrus, the Persian king. Cyrus permitted them to restore the temple in Jerusalem for worshipping their God. Thus Jerusalem again became the center of He- 28 BOLIVAR HIGH SCHOOL BLIZZARD” brew worship but in chastisement for repeated revolts the Romans laid waste the city and sent those Hebrews who were not slain into exile. At length the descendants of Abraham were scattered to the different parts of the country and mixed with the other peoples of the world. However, some of those Hebrews still cling to the simple faith of their fathers with a strange devotion and loyalty to this day. There were men who held high place in history by their work during this time of so many troubles for the Hebrews. They were not statesmen nor warriors but were called prophets. They were great teachers of morality, charity and justice. They preached against idolatry and sought to take the people from the worship of idols to the worship of the one God, Jehovah. In spite of the fact that the people were often led away from the worship of one God by the influence of foreign religious ideas they always came back to the worship of one God which they could cling to in perfect faith. We must judge of the real character of the Jewish religion, not by the practices of those who departed from it, but by the teachings of those who were its highest expounders, Moses and the prophets. In these great teachers we find the true idea of Monotheism. This is not simply the idea of the Egyptians, that there is one God higher than other gods; it is the idea that there is only one supreme God. Another feature of the Jewish religion was the fact that it was closely linked to morality. Religious worship and moral duty were regarded as two sides of a complete life. The history of the nation was a constant, struggle against false ideas of religion and false ideas of morality. When the priests were carried away with the idea that religion consisted simply in rites and ceremonies and tliv kings were seeking the pomp and luxury of the East and the people were falling into wickedness and idolatry, it was left to the later prophets to become the true ex pounders of religion and the moral law. The ancient Hebrews made little contribution to science, produced no new order of architecture, did nothing in sculpture, but did make real contributions to religion. Their literature with them was simply a medium for the conveyance of religious instruction and the awakening of devotional feeling. The old testament in the Bible is taken from the Hebrew people. Mostly all of the literature of the Hebrew people is in the Bible. We should also remember the Apocrypha, the Talmud and Antiquities of the Jews and the Jewish in connection with Hebrew literature. The Hebrews have a great influence on the civilized world by their religion and writings so we must assign to this nation a high place among the historical people of ancient times. The sources from which 1 obtained the data for the history of the Hebrew people are as follows: The Bible; Ancient History for Colleges and High Schools by P. V. X. Myers; Outlines of Ancient History for the Use of High Schools and Academies by William C. Morey; Ancient Peoples, also by William C. Morey; Gibbon’s History of Rome, volume I, by Edward Gibbon, Esquire; Rollin’s Ancient History, volume IV, by Charles Rollins.
