The cup was presented to the school lay lla-Wayne Silliman, a member of the team, and accepted hy the alternate. 'l'homas Otis. The Seniors have had two delightful parties this year and ex- pect to enjoy many more. The first party was a Lyric party, with refreshments at Richardson's and an after session at the Armory, where the remainder of the evening was spent in danc- ing. The second party was in the High School. and a field meet was enjoyed hy the Seniors and faculty. Supper was served in Room VI, which was prettily decorated in the Senior colors, black and gold. While the Seniors were enjoying themselves upstairs at the field meet, the Juniors slipped i11 a11d took the 5,- n sgxllltfttf ice cream. When the Seniors were ready for it, great consterna- tion arose. for the cream was nowhere to he found. Search as we might. it could 11ot be discovered. Two of the boys rushed up town illlll procured three gallons more, and so the evening ended most happily. We sincerely hope that the Juniors had a good feed even if it was at our expense, 'We are now nearing the close of our High School life. ln a short time the l'lass of '13 will depart. But as we stand on the threshold of life, we look back at the dear faces, and hear the loving voiees in the dear old school, and we hid them all a fond farewell. S. W.

,,.. .. -,,,, .,-.Q-ff. games. ln this year we defeated Ames in football for the first time in seven years. On the state debating team, two of the members were Juniors and we won the state championship and were presented with a beautiful loving cup. The presentation of the cup to the school was made by Joseph B. Wells, captain of the team, and accepted by Wm. D. Johnson, then president of the Senior class. Near Christmas time of this year, Miss Jean! ette Warner, our Latin teacher, decided to have some one to care for her and share her troubles and worries for the rest of her life. She departed from us in December, 1911, to enter into the so-called state of blissful matrimony. On December 11, 1911, the Junior and Senior girls gave a banquet in honor of the football boys. The banquet was given in the parlors of the Universalist Church. The parlors were decorated in the High School colors and a large football was suspended over the table where the team sat. The banquet was followed by a program of toasts given by the football boys and enjoyed by all present, after which we adjourned to the High School where a program was given by the High School students, and the football boys were presented with sweaters and monograms. On May 3rd, 1912, the Juniors tendered to the Seniors a most delightful reception which was held in the B. of R. T. Hall. During the reception hour, a f'Welcome was given by the Junior president, Peter Uranmer, and a response by the Senior president, Wm. Johnson. After the refreshments were served, a program of toasts was given, after which the evening was spent in dancing. At a late hour we departed for our homes, but we had enjoyed ourselves to our t' hearts' content. 1' At the close of the year, we much regretted the fact that Miss Ramsey, our Latin teacher, was to leave us, but she had decided that she could endure single blessedness no longer, so she dc- parted from us to embark upon the rough and stormy sea of matrimony. We left our Junior year with fond memories of a year well and happily spent and the first good year of our High School course. ln the fall of 1912, at the ringing of the dear old school bell, we marched back into school again. We are now grave and dignified Seniors, and the world has a more serious aspect for us. We organized as a class in January, 1913. There are fifty- one in our class, the largest ever graduated from the Boone High School. We adopted as the class colors black and yellow, and the yellow rose as the flower. The Seniors have been conspicuous in both athletics and de- bate this year. Most of the football players were Seniors, and won many games for us by their hard playing and thorough knowledge of the game. During our Senior year, inter-class games were held, one between the Freshmen and Sophomores, in which the Sophomores won, one between the Juniors and Se- niors, in which the Seniors won. The Sophomores and Seniors clashed for the championship of the school, and the Seniors cap- tured the honors. Inter-class games of basketball were played in like manner, in which we gave the championship honors to the Juniors, and our hopes that they may retain their reputation next year also. All three of the members on the state debating team are Se- niors. We again won the State Championship on April 25, 1913. Another beautiful loving cup was added as a permanent trophy to the High School, and both cups will be handsome decorations to the new school.
