Deputy State Superintendent of Nebraska COMMENCEMENT ADDRESS —8 3J. tlltntt Hon. Robert I. Elliott, Deputy State Superintendent of Public Instruction for the State of Nebraska, was born in Illinois and moved to this state with his parents while in his boyhood. He attended the rural schools near Winside, Nebraska, and later attended the grades in that village. He also finished the High School there and then attended the Normal School at Wayne. After graduating from the Wayne Normal, he taught for four years—two years in the rural schools of Stanton county and two years as Principal at Pilger, that county. While at Pilger, he received a call to a position in the faculty of the Wayne Normal and later was appointed County Superintendent of Wayne county. At the close of his term of office, he entered the University of Nebraska. While at the University, he was elected to the Superintendency of the Chadron Public Schools, where he served two years, resigning to accept the Superintendency of the Broken Bow Public Schools. While at Broken Bow he also served as Principal of the State Junior Normal School there. He had just been re-elected for the third time at Broken Bow when, without any solicitation on his part, he was tendered the position of deputy in the office of the State Superintendent of Public Instruction, which he accepted last November. These are only the cold chronological facts in the biography of Superintendent Elliott. In all of the positions he has held, he has made good in the highest and fullest sense. He is a natural born organizer and leader. He is abreast the times on all problems of modern education. The pupils, the teachers, the Board of Education and the patrons of the Broken Bow Public Schools received a new vision under the inspiring leadership of Superintendent Elliott. The new High School building stands as one of the crowning features of his career at Broken Bow. Superintendent Elliott is a man of untiring industry and unquestioned integrity. He is a man among men, an educator of the first rank. As a public speaker, he is in great demand for public school celebrations. High School commencements and patriotic occasions. He is an all-round man and his new position as Deputy State Superintendent opens up to him a matchless opportunity to touch the entire state with the magic of his leadership. His appointment to this high and responsible position confers as great an honor on the state as it does upon him. Superintendent Delzell is to be congratulated on having such a field marshal as Superintendent Elliott will prove himself to be in advancing the cause of popular education throughout our noble commonwealth. In the fullness of time, we expect to see him at the head of the public school system of Nebraska. S. H. MARTIN Superintendent of Broken Bow Schools -10— It. martin Superintendent Martin attended school first at Nevvville, then at Auburn, Indiana. At the age of nine years, he moved, with his parents, to Lincoln, Nebraska, where he entered the old Central School. He secured an academic education in the preparatory school of the University of Nebraska. He then taught two years in the country schools of Lancaster County in order to raise enough money to enable him to attend college. He completed the university course in 1895. Shortly after graduation, he was elected Principal of the city schools of DeWitt, Nebraska, where he taught for six years. He left DeWitt to take charge of the schools at Rushville, Nebraska. After two years’ service at Rushville, he was elected to the Superintendency of the city schools at St. Paul, Nebraska. Here, owing to his skill and careful management, he saw the schools develop in numbers, equipment and course of study. In his ninth year at St. Paul, he was chosen to the Superintendency of the city schools of Broken Bow. Aside from these positions. Superintendent Martin has instructed in many institutes in Central and Western Nebraska, and in State Junior Normals at Alliance, McCook, North Platte and will be Principal of the Junior Normal here next summer, besides having appeared many times on the programs of district and state associations. Although Superintendent Martin has been at the head of our schools in Broken Bow but a few months, he has shown a masterful hand in the pursuance of his work. Among the improvements made since he has been with us is the inauguration of the Commercial Department here, which is undoubtedly a great improvement and success. Because of his uniform ability, courtesy and sincerity. Superintendent Martin has won for himself the loyal support and respect of students, faculty, patrons and citizens, without exception. —11— G. 11. LAM I'll El( 10 M.UCi E.

And the Freshmen’s glad days are well spent. A Freshman of worth Is Loy Ream, Who serves us with patience extreme; She’s our class secretary. Our very good fairy. As good as you meet in a dream. Joe Stuckey was on the committee That Indited this wonderful ditty; And if aid he got From his mother, we’ve thot To her we’d pay gratitude pretty. You all must know Annabel Beal, Her talents are hard to conceal : But her charm as a reader Has made her a leader In stunts that require a long speal. We number among our Freshmen Charles II. and In Is Charles Penn: When asked to recite An answer that's trite. He murmurs again and again. We all know the great Grover Beal. Who studies with such earnest zeal (?), In algebra class To the board he does pass. And the power of his words we all feel. In Latin is where Hazel shines.

Of the Shaffers there’s one we eall Merl, Who’s (piite fond of each Freshman girl: of his name we are fond. We call him our Blonde.’’ And he acts like a Duke or an Karl. And Krnia. whose last name Is Swope, With hard mathematics can cope; In x’s and y's She's wonderfully wise. Over factoring she does not mope. We might write a beautiful fable. Of a good little lass we call Mabel ; Mabel Ormby’s her name. And at the school game. She makes every move that she’s able. Now all of us know Helen Downey. Who’s clever as any good brownie ; She came from tile l.oup To this gay little troupe of us Freshmen who never are frowny. Charles Sargent can tell you the name And the haunts of each kind of wild game; And a broncho he fancies Like brave Sancho I'an a’s. And can all of Its wild natures tame. There’s Louis who once played the dad Of tin big Chrisman family so glad. II« disciplined all Ills kids great and small. At tin party the gay Freshmen had.

And try to Ik cheerful as she. Mary Mullins had just joined the clan. And we hail her a Jolly Freshman : Itight true to the class Is this gentle lass. For the Freshmen she’ll do all she can.

Jessie Apple with taste, can dispose Of a reading, in verse or in prose; And when she recites. Pleased attention Invites. From the time she tiegins till the close. Paul Johnson Is not very big. But when donning long gown ami wig. He presides as the Judge Through a trial to drudge. He looks very handsome and trig. Glen S is a splendid musician. Holds a very exalted position ; He plays the cornet And. never you fret, in music, Glen is a magician. Hoy Smith is not very rash. He never does things in a flash ; Hut though he don’t hurry. You never need worry. That he will go down in a splash. Now Martha writes good Fnglish themes. She writes them so easy, it seems Her pencil on paper Cuts a curious caper. And they’re written as pretty as dreams. This Ltineric leads up to three streets For our class oft tin good name repeats , This name bounds a Zone , Hut it's not all his own. When with Bertha and Mabel” he race There’s Henry the Algebra boy. In this study takes pride ami joy ; The teachers all like im And F’s never strike lm. He’s pure gold—no drop of alloy.

Fred Palmer, dear reader. To return him will someone assist V Verlie Mnrquiss must come quite a way To be with the class every day : She prizes each minute For what there is in it : Her work suffers naught by delay. F.dgar Mathewson has quite a plan, of becoming a great business man: Of strictest bookkeeping. A knowledge is reaping. That makes him stand wise with the clan. The Freshmen have even a Palmer Who does not wear cowl or armor : Hut a sweet pilgrim still Flossie roams at her will Through the hearts, that her presence makes warmer. Ella Prettyrann. slender and tall. Is a champion at Hasket-ball. And whenever she plays. There is honor and praise For the Freshles ne’er go to the wall. There Is popular, tall Jammle Cornish.

Our Cordelia lias proved it the same As the one Shakespeare knew. When he sand her so true That all maidens have since loved her fame. After Hoy comes fair Adeline. Who with laces and ribbons does shine: To her beauty so bright. These lines we Indite And we columns could write had we time. For selecting of class colors bright. We chose Florence A. at tirst sight : Who. with her committee. Examined shades pretty. In her choice we take pride and delight. Evangeline, fair little maid.

Each has written his name. Where the Freshmen seek fame. To set the world’s wits all agog. Irpartmntt nf Snylisb As a subject for an exposition, English is about as discouragingly big and intangible as Mohammedanism would be. Unfortunately, one cannot write the thirty volume treatise that the subject manifestly deserves, but must limit one’s self to a comparatively brief treatment of its essential phases. These essential phases will include the basic principles of morals, manners, aesthetics, philosophy, along with the more tangible subjects of grammar, rhetoric and composition. From this enumeration it is apparent that the English department is inevitably ambitious. However meager its achievement, its aspiration is boundless. In its aim it is reformatory: it would correct the wrong habits of thought or of no thought, wrong habits of speech, and wrong habits of action that have been formed through vital and far-reaching influences, both without and within the school. I he purpose of the study of literature is primarily to make the student see that what is Good is essentially beautiful and desirable. The Good takes a varied form: now it is Hawthorne’s Great Stone Face; now Lowell’s brave knight. Sir Launfal; now it is Shakespeare s wonderful Portia; now Emerson’s cold, but beautiful Ideal of Friendship. It is a marvelous thing, the vitality of these creations of literature; marvelous their power for good on the student who in real sincerity seeks their acquaintance and friendship. People may disappoint us; much that is unlovely is shown to us daily; seeming imperfection in the working out of the great, unchangeable, moral law is always before us, for we see life only in fragments. The great men and women of literature, however, arc always great and true and beautiful, the working of the moral law is inevitable, for there we see life big. While the student is getting from literature some faint conception of the law of right, he is, if he be a real student, laying to heart some observations as to the importance of manners in the great scheme of things. Good manners are contagious and unless he be inoculated with the dullest of dull indifference, the student should become infected with the gentleness of Hawthorne's Gentle Boy, and the graciousness of Portia. He must be able, too, to see the distinction implied by Emerson, who says that “living blood and a passion of kindness does at last distinguish God’s gentleman from Fashion's.” The next aspiration of the English department is no more modest. It sets for itself the task of cultivating good taste among students, of developing their aesthetic sense so that they may come to see as ugly that which is ugly. Unwritten laws of good form forbid us to come among our fellows unwashed, or uncombed, or arrayed in unpresentable, slovenly garments, and we make it part of our religion to obey those laws. Just as JEAN SULLIVAN certainly does good taste place the stamp of its disapproval on the mind or the speech that appears unashamed in the most glaringly ugly array. Just as emphatically does good taste demand that he who would not be counted in the number of the vulgar should avoid the use of slang that savors unpleasantly of the slums and the police court. The duty of creating a sentiment against superlatives and slang, those distinguishing marks of a common mind, is too great a duty for any department in any school to bear alone. The thing can be accomplished only when all thotful and refined people make an o Tense here as serious a thing as an offense against the dictates of good taste in dress or table manners. Unmoved by many a failure here, the English department must carry on its activities hopefully, whether or not successfully. The fourth phase of the study of English, the most ambitious teacher hesitates to name, so presumptious it seems. Only for the best and the most earnest of students does English include philosophy—poor and amateurish enough at best, but still rightly to be distinguished by that noble title. For the student who cultivates the very valuable power of independent thinking, some rudimentary idea of the Meaning of I hings takes shape, and he has become, in a measure, a philosopher. 1 hese are the unseen, the incidental, phases of English work. We have no courses called Morals or Manners or Aesthetics, or Philosophy in our school curriculum—they are the side issues, intangible, unnamed, but of incalculable importance. We do, however, ha e a course called Grammar. An obvious duty it is to train our students, perhaps even our amateur philosophers, out of “I seen’s” and “I done’s. It might perhaps better be called Applied Grammar, its aim being to enable the student to put into effect in his ordinary conversation what he knows of the laws of grammar. The student who can discourse glibly of the verb, its properties, parts, and general habits, but, as frequently happens, cannot use the verb correctly while he is so discoursing, that student, his grammar, and his teachers—with all due deference to them—are failures. If the principles of rhetoric and composition—which are actual subjects written on the daily program—if these principles of logical thinking and clear, forcible expression are observed only in his English themes, then must be recorded another failure. His theme writing has been worthless; the teacher’s painstaking application of red ink to themes innumerable has been vain. This leads me to my final conclusion on this big, and, to me, interesting subject of English. It is that the effectiveness of this study is determined fully and finally by the basic principle of all effective work; namely, self education. It cannot be otherwise. However favorable the conditions, however great the power of the teacher or the worth of the text, it is, in the final analysis, the student himself that determines, thru his attitude toward his work, wheher it is to be a success or a failure. If he realizes that even the teacher’s responsibility for him cannot be equaled or even approached by his responsibility for himself, then he has set in motion the greatest, the most effective power than can ever touch his life—the power of self-education. Jean Sullivan, A. B. “Hlahttja”—Att ilniUatt IGrgptth Twas glorious eventide when the soft, faint rays of the moon had robed the world in silvery radiance. The lake was calm, and mirrored in her bosom were the twinkling stars, the fleeting clouds, and the shadowy reflections of the forest trees, which stood as giant sentinels dimly outlined against the western sky. The little songsters were cradled in their nests and the fragrant wild flowers with drooping heads were resting. The breeze was singing her lullaby song as she whistled through the leaves. From afar came the cry of the wolf; the hoot of the owl mingled with the beautiful song of the nightingale; close by was heard the stealthy tread of a panther. Suddenly from beneath the underbrush shade a canoe glided swiftly over the rippling waters, guided by the skilled hand of the young Indian brave, Wabega. Onward he pressed towards yonder shore, where Mahana waited in love’s wild retreat, a quiet glen, within whose depths was sometimes heard the cooing of the woodland dove. A month had flown, when through the forest’s solitude the war cry resounded. And now Wabega, with love’s last adieu, went forth proudly to lead the warrior band. The battle was terrible, the foe was fierce, but none could slay Wabega. When the few who lived returned, none could boast as he, for he had gained the greatest victories. Why, then, had he left the dance, why flung aside his tomahawk, his arrows and bow? Ah! They had taken him to that wild glen and showed him there a new-made grave. The heart that kindled when his deeds were told was chilled by death. Mahana, the loveliest one of the great chieftain’s maidens, had joined the Godesses of the spirit land. A change passed o’er Wabega’s soul. As the worm destroys the fragrant rose, so the cross of deep sorrow had blighted his life and no more he cared for his bow and lance. He sat in silence and sadness, his heart seemed with hers in the tomb. 'Twas eventide again. In the quiet vale where true happiness and bliss once reigned, now in the fading glow of day, by the moss-covered grave, knelt Wabega. In the west, where shone the twilight star, and the dark mountains reared their lofty heads, an angel form appeared and there came from out the clouds a voice soft and low. “Come, O Wabega, come! I wait for thee. Our bridal shall be beside the sparkling rills and our home a place of peace and rest. The way may seem lonely, but I will be with thee to comfort and cheer. Come, O my warrior, away to the west.” Onward for many weary hours he wended his solitary way and he left the land of shade and snows, as guided by the unseen hand, his steps approached the spirit world. There blossomed flowers of rare perfume and evermore melodeous songs of joyful birds were heard. No war’s loud peal or battle songs, no storms or chills of night blighted the glory of these wilds. His steps had never been through such an enchanting scene. —38— Mahana, robed in sunbeams, stood beside a crystal spring. But hark! Borne on the balmy breeze came a message from Chemaniton. “Wabega, thou must return to thine own land of cloud and storm. There be a warrior once again and by the council fire thy voice shall be heard as Wisdom’s echo. And when thy work is done, Mahana, as fair as thou beholdest her now, shall be thine forever in this happy hunting ground. Go, and fulfill thy destiny.” Wabega awoke. The vision had gone. What a change surrounded him now for he had left the land of light for that of toil and struggle! No echoes now broke the silence save the sad, plaintive moaning of the shadowed lake. But rise, O warrior, that land may be thine! That dream at last may find fulfillment! RUTH N. THOMPSON. ’13. “ahr Shirk llrniJT—A SpsrriptUnt It is just sun-up and a thin mist soon vanishes before the bright sunlight. Here and there, projecting above the water, are a few stalks of ripened dock, or wild rice. All is still. Not a ripple glides over the surface, until a yellow and gold snake hastily makes his way across the little lake, leaving in his wake a series of tiny swells, which chase one another to the shore—and all is still again. But away in the distance come the ducks; yes, they are mallards. They describe a descending spiral over the pond, sail beautifully across its surface with their drooping wings almost dipping in the water, and settle with a splash and a great flapping of wings. They go here and there, now diving, now listening, now looking. How their bright feathers reflect the light! How peaceful and happy they would be, were they not molested. But here comes the hunter; he stops, crouches, crawls, and finally lying flat, makes his way snake-fashion toward them. The ducks suspect him; they leave off everything else to be on the lookout. The hunter is scarcely in range of them. He rises slowly to a shooting position. The old “green bed gives a warning quack. They are off! The Winchester cracks once, twice, three times, but the shot glance from the duck's breast as from steel. The Nimrod disgustedly watches them depart, looks at the empty cartridges, discourses eloquently upon them, and plods wearily homeward. —39— EDWARD McCALL, ’14. “iTu tlir (Crntrr nf tlir Earth” Coming to a large cave, which people say leads to the center of the earth, I went in. I wandered about for some time, at last coming to a door of an adjoining room. Opening the door, I was greatly dazzled by the splendor of the room. Beautiful crystals projected from the ceiling and the light shining on the crystals made a beautiful spectacle. In one corner of the room was a large table on which were expensive wines. I was admiring the splendor of the room, when I heard steps. I ran to the door by which I had entered, but it was locked. I looked about for some place in which to hide. Just then I spied a chest and hid behind it. The door at the farther side of the room opened and in walked fifteen men. They were not large, but were very savage-looking, and they were dressed in short knee pants and waistcoats. After eating their supper and smoking their pipes, they talked about going somewhere way down near the center of the earth. I changed my position, hitting my foot against the chest and making a noise. The next moment the men were trying to find from where the noise had come. I jumped from behind the chest and ran out the dcor at the far side of the room. “There! There!’ shouted one of the men, and all started in hot pursuit. I ran down a long hall. Seeing a door, I ran to it, opened it and went in. I was in a store room. There were bags of gold and large bars of silver. The men ran excitedly up and down the hall. “Suppose that creature should find our bags of gold,” said one. Then they tried to decide what they would do with me if they found me. “There is only one more door and I know it is locked,” said another. They got up and I could tell by the sound of their voices they were coming toward the store room door. I could not push the bars against the door for they were heavy. Just then I noticed a very small door, resembling a panel. I opened it and crawled in and found myself sliding down through a big hollow pipe. I wondered if I were ever going to stop. It was beginning to get warmer. I seemed to be going at the rate of sixty miles an hour, but of course I wasn’t. Splash! I landed in a puddle of warm water. Oh! some more people! These, however, did not look so savage as those I had seen farther up. All had hold of hands and were dancing around a man dressed in gay colors, who I afterwards learned was their king. When I landed, all stopped dancing and gazed at me. “Can you please tell me how to get out of here?” I asked, advancing toward the king. “Yes,” answered the king. —40— “but how came you here?’ I then explained all, at which the king laughed heartily. He begged me to stay a day with them and learn something about their country. I did not know whether to trust him or not, but he begged so earnestly that I stayed. How far do you live from the center of the earth? I asked. “We live only five miles away, answered the king. “I will call my guide and he will show you the way.” We walked down a long hall and came to a flight of stairs leading downward. “Do you want to walk or go down in the under-ground ship?” asked the guide. “I would rather walk, I replied. Then I dismissed the guide. I stepped on the stairs and instantly they slipped out from under me. Down, down, I went. “These horrid people! I never will trust them again,” thought I, as I was sliding down. “If I ever get out of this place,”— bump! I had fallen out of bed and I was glad it was only a dream. GRACE JOHNSON. '14. =C5’00 r= j tjjial fllatrr—A Ursrrtytimi Tucked down among the mountains in Western England is the beautiful lake of Rydal Water. It is a quiet place where all nature seems to be at ease. The birds go hopping from tree to tree in perfect contentment. As sunset closes in upon this quiet nook, the scene cannot be surpassed. The grass along the banks forms a beautiful green frame for the lake which resembles a mirror reflecting the mountains and large trees, which afford shade for the tired wanderer. Wild flowers are to be seen here and there in the grass and there are a few water lillies on the lake. The bright sunset on the mountains makes them reflect most beautiful colors, and one not accustomed to the place would think the little chapel on the mountain side was afire. As the sun sinks behind the mountains, every creature seems to fall asleep in this quiet valley of Rydal Water. MARIETTA PURCELL, ’14.

At that time there were about a dozen schools doing the work. In 1909-10 the number had grown to one hundred and ten. Thus satisfaction in the normal training work is shown by the increase in the number of schools giving the course, and also by the quality of the work done by the normal training graduates. Formerly, pupils in the High School found it necessary to study out of school for the state examinations. This caused much extra work. They also found that they did not have a thorough understanding of the subjects. Normal trailing in the High School eliminated this outside study and gave the pupils a better understanding of the subjects. One of the principal aims of normal training in the High School is to get better trained teachers. The average length of service of a teacher in the rural schools is three years. The teachers who do remain in the teaching profession longer than three years pass on to the graded or High School work. After these teachers have received better positions, the rural schools are left without teachers. The only way of supplying all these vacancies is to graduate properly trained teachers each year. These vacancies have been filled since the High Schools have had the normal training course. Since the free High School law has been enacted and normal training has been placed in the High Schools, statistics have shown that a greater number of young people come from the rural districts to the High Schools. A great number of these pupils take the normal course and make very good teachers, because they can understand and can sympathize with the conditions of the rural schools. Reports on file show that the greater number of teachers in the rural schools are those who are normal training graduates. This shows the immediate value and effectiveness of this course. The large majority of people agree that this work has improved the discipline in the High School; given higher ideals to the students; and brought the school into a closer relation to the community. Another important result of this course is that it teaches a High School student that there is much to be accomplished in life. This is especially true of the Senior who has prepared to go out in the world and teach and make a definite place for himself. But it does not apply to the Senior who has no aim in life, and thinks that commencement is the end of all things. —43— iCuiuuuujr Ifejiartmrnt dlip (pualilii of drrutrr The Latin Department in the Broken Bow High School has passed through such a series of epidemics during the past two years that it would require the eloquence of a Demosthenes and the Sprachgenie of a Goethe to fittingly chronicle its history. Now the proposition has been brought forth that the Latin teacher should submit for publication a diagnosis of the case intrusted to her care. There are two reasons why it is particularly difficult for her to do so. In the first place, she is neither a Demosthenes nor a Goethe. In the second place, it seems rather inconsistent with her ideas of professional ethics to discuss herself or her students in public. Should she mention the many good qualities and the intellectual attainments of the young people in her department, she would seem to be flattering both herself and her students. Should she mention some of the weak places which they are helping her remedy, she would seem to be violating a confidence. It seems best, therefore, to close the discussion of local affairs with the following general bulletin: The crisis is past. The Latin Department in the Broken Bow High School will live. The patient is now able to assimilate all the required mental nutriment. His condition gives promise of great future health. His temperature is normal. So much for the present case. It remains to say a few words concerning the relation of the classics to modern education. It is not necessary here, as a current magazine expresses it, “ I'o make any defense of the classics. They have never yet given any cause for being placed upon the defensive. The intellectual records of classical students speak for themselves: they need no advocate. It remains rather for others to explain the alarming inefficiency of the non-classical student. This inefficiency has been explained on the theory that there are two classes of students who are worthy of special consideration. The first class consists of those whose school days must be shortened because they are needed as bread winners in the home. 1 he second class consists of those to whom the Master gave but one talent. In order to enable the first class, the honest, earnest seekers for efficient training, in order to enable them to prepare for their work, the commercial, industrial and technical branches were added to high school and college curricula. In order to supply the needs of the bread winners, and in order to prevent the one talent student from hiding his talent in the earth, state institutions gave as much consideration to the new courses as to the old. They were made elective in both high schools and colleges, and the “educational panacea was thought to have been found. The addition of the new courses was considered the wisest and best movement in modern education. The plan had its strong points, but the trouble was found when John Doe received the privilege of deciding his course. John was altogether too bright. He discovered that if Richard Roe, who wished to take a short road to knowledge or had but one talent, as the case may be, was permitted to receive full honor and credit for his shorter and easier course, it was utterly foolish for him, John Doe, to spend his money and devote his time and energy to the cause of education. Accordingly, he said, “What is the use?” registered for the one talent course and buried his other four talents in the earth. And the course which was planned to enable Richard Roe to place his one talent on interest resulted in affording John Doe an opportunity for burying four of his talents. This was not the only trouble. There became so many John Does that education became materialistic and many graduates were found to be “uneducated experts. Such graduates were trained, not educated. “The two words are not synonymous. 1 he line of least resistance became so popular in an eastern college that the Alumni of the class of 1885 in an address to the trustees of Amherst College deplored the fact that education is now largely technical and materialistic. The trustees replied to the Alumni: “Amherst does not look upon any man as educated unless he has been taught to interpret the problems of his own day through lessons of the past and has received a knowledge of classical literature, philosophy and civilization gaining discipline in the expression of his own tongue through the mental process of translation.’ At first glance, the above statement may seem rather radical. When we stop to realize, however, that the one-sided classical student who has had no business training pays a rather high price for his lack of training when he enters the business world, it seems no more than natural that the one-sided business student who has had no time or no inclination for education should feel his lack of education when he begins his service in the world’s work. This shows us that training and education should go hand in hand and should not only prepare the young to make a living but should also prepare them for life. In regard to the educational side, we frequently hear What is the use?” It is impossible in so short an article to even outline the use of education. But we are ambitious for you, little tender-foot classical student. We would have you well trained that you may be able to serve efficiently in some useful, helpful capacity, however humble. We would have you know the dignity and value of service. We would have you feel the kinship with all well-doers, and the kinship with nobility and Diety that every real worker feels. We would have you so trained that you will be able to perform your service easily and happily and efficiently. But we would do more. We would not only have you well trained: we would also have you well educated, so that when you are ready to spend your first, precious, hard-earned dollar, you will be able to realize that the quality of your service to mankind is determined not only by the way in which you have earned your money, nor by the renumcration which you have received, but it is also determined by the way in which you spend your salary or your wage. It is to you, the classical students, that we are looking for the ethical standard of our best seller” and the moral value of our most popular play. These and many kindred questions should never be left to the decision of those who have followed the line of least resistance. It remains for you, the intellectual apostles of your day, to w'in disciples to your cause by never failing to sympathize with, and appreciate, all that is worth while. It remains for --15— you to be able to prove your superiority, when you are classed with the inefficient. Remember, quality folks the world over are known by what they give rather than what they get, by what they do rather than by what they know, by the wisdom and sweetness of their lives rather than by the corpulency of their bank accounts. Your education, therefore, is a preparation for giving. 7 he nature and quality of your future giving is determined largely by the degree and earnestness of your present getting. As for the rest—what else does a classical education offer you? It is simply this: “A certain openness of mind to learn the daily lessons of life; a certain willingness of heart to give and to receive that extra service, that gift beyond the strict measure of debt which makes friendship possible; a certain clearness of spirit to perceive the best in things and people, to love it without fear and to cleave to it without distrust; a peaceful sureness of affection and taste; a gentle straightforwardness of action; a kind sincerity of speech. These are the marks of the simple life which is within.—And wherever it is found it is the best prize of the school of life, the badge of the scholar well beloved of the Master. Mary E. Roddy, A. B. —40— ijisturg History is a record of the progress of a nation, an institution, or any phase of human thought and action. It is the study of the development of civilization. History often deals with special subjects, as government, law, literature, art and war. The history of these combined, is what we are about to discuss. What we have learned from the past is worth noticing. We get our best knowledge of art and literature from the Ancient Greeks. In these, they are still our main teachers. Our knowledge of sculpture and architecture is far excelled by that of the Ancient Greeks and Egyptians. The laws, which were made by the great men of Rome, are still the foundation of most of the nations’ laws. In Rome we find that there were many great and good laws, but little order. The statesmen since have combined them to make a good government. The countries which originated the different religions should be noticed. From the Hebrews, we get our Christian religion, which was spread over the known world by Peter, Paul, Constantine, Charlemagne, and others. The Arabs originated the Mohammedan religion, and spread it by force. Had the victors been Mohammedans instead of Christians, at the battle of Tours, Mohammedanism would probably be the prevailing religion of the world today. Notice the difference in civilization between the countries under the Christian religion and those ruled by Mohammedans, and you will see the effect. It is also illustrated in Confucianism in China, where the people worship their ancestors; and in India, Buddism, where the people are divided into castes and keep the occupations of their ancestors. Therefore, it is impossible for them to advance much in civilization. The study of history is important for four reasons. First, we wish to know the origin of our ancestors; whether they are Greek, Roman, German, Persian or Egyptian blood. We wish to know how much more civilized we are than our ancestors, and what we owe to them for their wisdom, which caused civilization to increase so rapidly. Second, history tells us all the truth of the past that we know, and is very interesting reading; and, therefore, we learn a great many important events that we shall always remember. For this reason, it is an excellent means of developing the memory. Third, it gives us nobler ideals, and a more progressive spirit, to study of such great men as Hannibal, Caesar, Charlemagne, Napoleon, Washington and Lincoln. Great men are ideals, and we should be taught by them. Fourth, we learn the laws of the great men, and the best means of enforcing them. Our laws are founded upon ancient laws. What men have done formerly, with success, can be done again with greater success. We judge the future by the past. If we knew not the past we would not know what laws to make for the future. Therefore, we must profit by the experience of the past; by avoiding its mistakes, and improving by its successes. History aids civilization more than any other subject. For these reasons, it is one of the most important subjects taught in the high school. Roscoe Austin, ’14 JJlujiiiral anil Ulinhunral rinirr There are no subjects in the High School curriculum which are more practical to the ordinary student than those of the science department. The student feels that he is learning something which may be of worth to him in after years. If he is able to see some good in the work he is undertaking, the subject receives his conscientious efforts. The science consists of Physics, Chemistry, Botany, Physical Geography, Agriculture and Physiology. Physics is a Junior subject and has aiways been a part of the course of study. Owing to lack of apparatus in former years, classroom demonstrations were impossible and individual experiments could not be made by the student in a laboratory. However, at the present time, our new High School building is equipped with a large laboratory, containing suitable apparatus for a year’s work. Here a training to habits of accuracy in doing things and in thinking is demanded. Chemistry is offered to the Seniors during the first semester. This is a five hour subject, with four single periods per week for laboratory. There is no more fascinating subject in the science department than Chemistry. The aim is to show, whenever possible, during the short time the subject is given, the practical application to the every day affairs of life; in other words, to emphasize industrial and commercial Chemistry. The laboratory consists of a modern work table, with lockers for pieces of apparatus, and on either side of the room are shelves which contain solutions, acids and chemicals, arranged alphabetically, for use by the student. Botany is a required subject in each of the three courses of study, viz: Latin or College Preparatory, Normal and Commercial. It is given during the Sophomore year and alternates with English. In the first semester, the Botany classes recite two days and the English three days per week. The order of recitation of the two subjects is reversed during the second semester. The students are required to analyze plants in the spring and to prepare a herbarium of thirty flowers. In most of the schools in our country Physical Geography is fast becoming a laboratory science, and this is the position it must eventually take wherever taught. At present, in our High School, the subject is given in the Freshman year, during the first semester. It consists of five recitations per week, with one period for laboratory work. A laboratory manual is used and experiments are worked out in connection with the class discussions. Agriculture, which was formerly a Sophomore subject, is now a required one in the Normal course of the Junior year. Owing to lack of equipment and suitable apparatus. Agriculture cannot be taught as effectively as the subject is presented in some of the state agricultural schools. However, one semester is devoted to it and the student is given an idea of what Agriculture is and some of the personal factors upon which its succ;ss depends. Physiology has been introduced into the course of study for the first time this year. It is still in its infancy here; however, the aim in view is to set forth the actual science of the subject and to present the facts of hygiene and sanitation as applied Physiology. Gardner Richardson, '13 ■is— PHYSICS iCaluiratnrins CHEMISTRY (Hmnntrrrial Drpartmrut A new department has been organized in the Broken Bow High School consisting of Typewriting, Shorthand and Bookkeeping. In the business world there has arisen a greater need than ever before for office assistants. To be a valuable assistant one must use good English, spell correctly, and have a large amount of general information. For the stenographer this is especially true because he has charge of the correspondence. For a good stenographer there is a wide field, with a demand exceeding the supply. He has an opportunity to learn the business of his employer. Many prominent railroad officials began as stenographers, being promoted to private secretaryships and then to the most responsible offices. Private secretaryships are in themselves very important and remunerative for the capable. Uncle Sam” is constantly calling tor bookkeepers, stenographers and typists at very good salaries, with excellent chances for promotion. At Washington, D. C. there are good opportunities for the ambitious to do college work in addition to his work as a government employee. Students who know shorthand and typewriting find it very useful in much of their college work. Many law students now study stenography in order that they may take notes accurately in their school work, and later in court. The lawyer who can quote verbatim on either side has the advantage over one who cannot. It is pos- sible for a college student to pay his expense thru college by doing a few hours’ office work each day. In conclusion, I wish to state that “the world was not made in a day,” and that “you can’t get something for nothing.” The world is full of “get-rich-quick people who haven’t; it needs more good ones. In stenography, typewriting and bookkeeping, as in other things, the person who expects to make a place for himself will find he must qualify for a position. Our school offers a two years’ course in stenography and typewriting and one year in bookkeeping, in accordance with the Commercial courses of the best high schools. R.

Kate and Wanda, half sisters, daughters of Mr. Carroll, are preparing to go to college at Vassar. Kate is a senior and Wanda a freshman. Both girls are in love with a young man by the name of John Willet. John is very poor, but a good man. Wanda is wealthy, having received her father’s fortune, while Kate is poor. Mrs. Carroll is determined for Kate to make a good marriage and wishes her to marry Amos North, a wealthy man, but one of low character. Wanda and Amos try to contrive some scheme to keep John and Kate apart. John, who has asked Kate to go to a musical, is suddenly called to New York. Without seeing Kate, he leaves a note for her, which Wanda destroys. Mrs. Carroll makes Kate believe John has been false to her and persuades her to say she will marry Amos. But Kate escapes Amos by disguising herself. ACT II A scene at Vassar, and all the girls are assembled in Kate’s room. She is going to entertain as Amos North is coming and she intends to announce her engagement. Wanda, who has been destroying all the letters John has written to Kate, obtains the one announcing his arrival. As Kate is about to give her final answer to Amos, John is announced and tries to explain matters to her, asking if she has not received his letters. She tells him of her engagement. Kate afterwards becomes angry with Amos and takes back her promise. ACT III Scene at a country farm house, Kate’s home. It is Christmas time. Kate and her college chums are ready for a sleigh ride but Mrs. Carroll detains Kate, saying she wishes to talk to her. Mrs. Carroll tells her that she gave Amos North all her money to invest in Brewer Certificates and that she is now to loose all. Amos arrives on the scene and tells her that if Kate marries him he will make everything good. John Willet appears and explains that Amos has never bought shares and has simply stolen the money. Amos, knowing that the letters that will send him to prison are locked in the desk at Kate’s home, persuades Wanda to leave the window unlocked so he can get them, but he is caught in the act. ACT IV Commencement at Vassar. Wanda tells Amos there is no use trying to separate John and Kate and that they might as well become engaged. Amos consents, thinking the letters would be safer if Wanda were his wife, since she has them in her possession. John attends graduation and learns from Kate that she has received none of his letters. They discover that Wanda has been destroying them as fast as they came. The girls discover John and Kate and learn of their engagement. Amos and Wanda become engaged also. Kate is astonished and says, “Poor Amos.’ Cast of Characters John Willett, a young architect.

The design of the work is to present the elements and principles of vocal expression in a plain, simple and scientific manner; to cultivate the voice; to perfect articulation ; to give ease and grace to the position and movement; to give propriety and power to the gesture and attitude; and to enable the mind to interpret literature intelligently. Science perceives that excellence in conversation, reading, speaking or reciting, depends largely on the perfect illustration and correct combination of these elements. Literature is the effort of man to express himself by written language. To read literature aloud requires not merely command of voice, but also a complete understanding of the thoughts and emotions of the author. In our High School, this work is under the direction of Miss Lovelace. Much praise and credit can be given her for the success she has had. Not only have her individual pupils won high honors in declamatory work, but also the plays she has trained have been very successful. During the year, we have been favored with several excellent programs by the elocution class. On Friday evening, March 8, the local declamatory contest was held in the High School Auditorium, to choose a contestant for the district meet. lone Russom was chosen for first place and Mildred Stapleton for second. The district meet was held at Aurora, March 29. lone Russom, representative of Broken Bow, obtained second place. Both lone and Mildred will represent Broken Bow in the county contest which will be held here May 4. -57— Mills Haumont Dietz Nicholson Debating Debating is an art that enables one to express his thoughts clearly and forcibly, and in such a manner that his audience can easily follow every point of the argument. Broken Bow High School realizes the need of a permanent debating society. It is planned to put in a regular course in debating as soon as possible. When a complete study is put in the curriculum, more time can be given to the principles of argumentation and presentation. Public debating has been followed in our school for several years. Important public questions are chosen for the debates. The questions offer the students an unlimited amount of reading and thought. Such study makes them familiar with public issues, and gives them a knowledge of modern business methods. The question for debate this year was: “Resolved, That the movement of organized labor for the closed shop should receive the support of public opinion.” On March 15, we debated Merna High School. Merna, maintaining the affirmative, won the debate. But do not let this defeat discourage future debaters. Let it spur them on to accomplish greater success, and to give Broken Bow a name among the best of schools in the state. iiujh rluuil (irrhpfitra THE ORCHESTRA ROSTER Supt. S. H.

My mind instantly goes back some eighteen years to the time when about fifteen young people met at the home of Misa Sadie Whitehead for the purpose of forming an Alumni Association. At that time there were ten graduates of the Broken Bow High School and a class of nine who would very soon be able to claim that distinction. We knew little of what such an organization meant, what its purpose or the benefits to be derived by its members. The Principal, E. O. (Jarrett. gave an outline of what should be done to get a start and told us that we were laying the foundation for one of the largest bodies represented in the city. We could scarcely realize that our small organization could grow to such an extent as It has even at this time: but we took for granted that he knew, and completed our organization. At that time we arranged that at least once a year we would have a reunion at about the time for the school year to close to admit the graduating class, and to get together as many of our classmates as possible and re-live, for a few hours, the happy school days of the past. Little did we realize then that one's school days are the most care-free of all. We all looked forward •‘flgerly to the time when we would take our places in the world and bear a part in the battles of life. Little did we dream that life beyond school was anything but paths lined with roses and scented with the perfume of other fragrant flowers. It has been my privilege and pleasure to meet with the association at a large proportion of the annual meetings; and I have watched it grow from that little handful to the present member ship of 242 ; and as class after class is added to our number the next eighteen years should show a greater gain than has the past. In the early days our meetings were usually held at the home of one of the members, and we frequently added the teachers, the school board ami their wives, and each member who wished brought a friend in order to make a sufficiently large number to make a showing. Now it requires so much room to accomodate the members alone that the invitatlou to those outside the membership must of necessity be limited to those who are to take part in the program. The expenses of the early meetings, as now, were usually met by an assessment. One year, however. 1 remember the boys provided the necessary material for the banquet and the girls prepared and served It, and I do not remember to have l� een present at any meeting when all seemed to have a more enjoyable time. Our ritualistic service was more limited then, although usually there was some part of the program at each yearly meeting that the candidate has never forgotten. Our membership Is scattered from one end of our land to the other, and I do not know but that some are in lands beyond the seas, while some few have passed that boundless tide from whence no traveler e'er returns. We aim to keep In touch with the living and once a year send an Invitation to our reunions; and hope that each will be with us in person, or if that can not be. that thoughts of Auld Lang Syne shall freely pass between us.

The gym was very elaborately decorated with pennants, golden rod and autumn leaves. Various games were played during the evening. Miss Hazel Weber delightfully entertained the teachers at the home of Andrew Snyder on October the 15th. The rooms were beautifully festive with autumn leaves, and jack-o-lanterns. The table, at which the delicious supper was served, was very attractively decorated with black and yellow. 1 he entertainment consisted of games and music. Mr. and Mrs. A. R. Humphrey and Mr. and Mrs. E. R. Purcell entertained the teachers and School Board on October 20th. A very delightful evening was spent. On October 30th, the Messrs. Elliott, Lanphere and Stevens were the hosts at a teachers' party given at the home of Mr. and Mrs. F. H. Smith. The evening's entertainment consisted of games and pranks. The most exciting one was a date contest. Delicious refreshments were served by the hosts. At noon on November the 22d, Superintendent Elliott and the Seniors started in autos and a covered wagen to visit a country school. After visiting the school in the afternoon, they were taken to the home of lone Russom, who lives near by, and there partook of a 6 o’clock dinner. After the delicious dinner was served, Mr. Elliott, acting as toastmaster, called upon several to respond. The evening was delightfully spent in stories, songs and recitations. At the early dawn of morning they returned to Broken Bow, each saying he had never had such an enjoyable time. The Seniors will look back upon this occasion as being one of the most enjoyable times of their High School days. M iss Snidow entertained the teachers on November 24th at the home of Mr and M rs. John Johnson. A musical program was rendered by those present. On the afternoon of November 29th, a farewell reception was given in the assembly room by the pupils and teachers for Mr. Elliott. He delivered an excellent farewell address. At the close of which the teachers presented him a diamond stick pin. The same evening occurred a reception in the gymnasium in honor of Mr. Elliott, the retiring Superintendent, and Mr. Martin, the succeeding one. The receiving line was composed of the Board of Education and the Faculty. A very excellent program was rendered. Mr. Elliott gave an eloquent address, touching upon his work in connection with the Broken Bow Schools. Mr. Martin also gave an excellent address. He praised the high standard of efficiency of the Broken Bow School System. He said that it was his purpose to maintain this standard. In conclusion, Mr. Martin said that his policy of living was found in the poem, “ The Hermit Soul:” “Let me live in a house by the side of the road. And be a friend to man. During the basket-ball season, several of the visiting teams were entertained by different members of the High School at small informal parties. The foot-ball boys delightfully entertained the actresses of The Kentucky Belle, on February 20th. A 7 o’clock dinner was served at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. C. S. —«4— Martin. Covers were laid for thirty-eight. The three tables were artistically decorated in the High School colors, which are red and white. The delicious five-course dinner was served by Mrs. Claude Currie, assisted by the Misses Perle Eddy, Hazel Bennett and Irma Willing. After the dinner, Homer Molyneux, a very dextrous toastmaster, called upon different members of the gathering for toasts. Hosts and guests responded very cleverly. The remainder of the evening was spent in numerous forms of amusements. FRESHMEN CLASS PARTY On January the I Ith, the Freshmen gave a class party in the gymnasium. A very enjoyable evening was spent in numerous games and other amusements. Mrs. Strong and the Misses Doty and Strong delightfully entertained the teachers at an informal party on February 22d. Everything was carried out in Colonial style. Delicious refreshments were served at a late hour. One of the events of the season that was enjoyed by all was an entertainment given by Miss Fola LaFollette under the auspices of the High School. Miss LaFolIette was obtained through the National Lyceum Bureau. She gave two very interesting entertainments, on April 4, one in the afternoon for the children and another in the evening for all. Her subjects were interesting and instructive, and she delivered them in a manner that won the appreciation and applause of her entire audience. We gladly welcome Miss LaFollette back to Broken Bow. RESIDENCE OF F. II SMITH RESIDENCE OF JTJLES IIAUMONT RESIDENCE OF ANDREW SNVDER . viv. -. — i7 % 3uwt Hull vm Considering all details, the team of 1911 made a %ery good showing. Owing to the geographical situation of Broken Bow, the games were not many, there being a total of six games. However, the six games showed the quality and caliber of the team and they were of such quality that the team of 1911 claims to have a place among the best of Western Nebraska. The points made by Broken Bow were fifty-seven, and those of the opponents eight. Each man on the team filled his position with credit. There were several new men at the game, but they developed so well that they played the game like veterans. Much credit can be given Captain Molyneux for his generalship and cool-headed work. Molyneux is an old-timer at juggling the “pig skin.” Heller was never known to “crab” during a game. He brought many victories to us by his irresistible plunges, cool head and his educated toe. Kennedy was good at quarter, in his quickness in getting rid of the ball and swiftness of foot. Crawford made many fantastic blocks, broke interference of all kinds and was remarkably successful in receiving the forward pass. Jeffords often made sensational runs, followed by Beal in his interference and tackling. Nicholson was the old steady center, always to be depended upon. Cap Dietz, the steady end and the fierce tackle, certainly held down his position as a “vet” should. Chrisman and Palmer, new men at the game, deserve special mention for their clever and steady playing, for they were the part that made Broken Bow’s stone wall. Wantz, the chunky tackle, never failed to let his opponent know that he was present and that as for going through that place in the line there was nothing doing. Martin and Hays did good utility work and were faithful to the cause. The first game of the season was with Mason City on the home grounds. Mason City was outclassed in all stages of the game. This being the first game, the boys did great work, going thru the Mason City line for many gains and also making many yards by the forward pass route. 1 he final was 28 to 0, with Mason City holding down the figure “0.” The second game was played with Ravenna, cn October 6. 1 hey also went down to defeat to the tune of 29 to 0, as Broken Bow’s stone wall and mighty plunges were too much for the visiting team. The forward pass was received very nicely many times and, as all would say who saw the game, “Ravenna at no stage of the game had a look-in.” —C8— The town team mustered nerve enough to play the Broken Bow High School, but their caliber showed but poorly against the more united working of the High School Vets,” and nothing more was said about the game. The big game of the season was against Grand Island High School, on October 20. The score board at the end of the conflict read 0 to 0, in favor of Broken Bow. The score does not tell the quality of the game, as Broken Bow' played in Grand Island s territory most of the time. At one stage of the game, Heller plunged thru the line for a touchdown, but the referee from Grand Island said it was illegal. This looked doubtful to all present. Every man of the Broken Bow team deserves special mention. They fought like “tigers of old and showed the team from Grand Island a better game than any team of the seascn. Jeffords, in the game, pulled off a sensational run of seventy-five yards. Broken Bow dug up the hatchet and made war against K. M. A. at Kearney, on October 27. The journey was very long and tiresome. The boys were tired when they entered the game and did not show their usual pep.” K. M. A. scored three points before the boys started to show their caliber, and the rest of the game was an evenly matched contest, neither team having an edge cn the other. It was a battle royal and every man deserves much credit for the hard fighting which he put up. The last game of the season was against Grand Island Business College, on November 6, at Broken Bow. The game was played the same day as the aviation meet and thousands cheered for the Broken Bow “Vets, who fought as they never fought before. Grand Island Business College outweighed the local team by a large margin, but Broken Bow made up for lack of weight in fighting to the last. They showed the Future Business Men a sample of real football. Jeffords was laid out of the game in the start by a broken ankle, and if it had not been for this, the score would probably have been different. When the last whistle sounded, the score stood 5 to 0 in favor of the Business College. nii B B B p p Jeffords Beal Nicholson Molyneux Stevens Crawford Ileller Hays Kennedy Martin Chrlsman Diet 7.

No winning team could be maintained without the support of the second team. It takes courage to work out regularly against the first team, with only indirect and invisible results. The second team works hard to put the first team in shape that it may bring honor to the school. The second team played the Eighth Grade Squad of the South Side School and easily defeated them by a score of 15 to 7. The second team also journeyed to Ansley to play the Husky Cornhuskers of that high school, and easily defeated them. The Ansley team outweighed the boys thirty pounds to the man, but B. B.’s headwork and good teamwork gave them no chance of winning. The second team also had much better play formations and worked more as a machine.

Things were a little unsettled on account of our not being able to keep the same line-up. Many came out for basketball, and the individual work was good, but good teamwork was not established until after the trip. Kennedy was elected captain of the team because he had had a great deal of experience with the game. The first game was on the Ravenna floor, on December 15. The boys who made the trip were Molyneux, Kennedy, Heller, Wantz, Humphrey, Palmer and Martin. The game was a good one but Broken Bow received the short end of the score, which —73— was 35 to 29. The boys had been used to a good floor and good lights, while the floor at Ravenna was made of soil and very rough and the lights were poor. Ravenna, being used to the conditions, were able to carry off the larger end of the score. The referee, Reverend,” was very strict in calling fouls. However, no fault was found. The second game was played with Alliance High School, January 5, immediately after Christmas vacation, and Broken Bow met with a gloomy defeat. The score was 59 to 19. Four regular men were out of this game, which broke up the teamwork. The Alliance boys had played several games previous and were in fine form. On January 19, the return game with Ravenna was played on the home floor. Broken Bow won by a decided score of 36 to 22. Broken Bow outclassed Ravenna in teamwork and goal throwing. Heller, the star player of the evening for Broken Bow, made many brilliant plays and succeeded in making nineteen out of the thirty-six points which were awarded the home team. On January 26, the boys started on a trip of 822 miles thru Western Nebraska. While away they played Alliance, Sidney, Chadron Normal, Chadron High School and Crawford. They returned home on Friday, February 2, after an absence of seven days. Those who made the trip were: Molyneux, Kennedy, Heller, Humphrey, Craw- ford, Jeffords and Martin. They were accompanied by Coach Stevens, the Physical Culture Trainer of the Broken Bow High School. 1 he first game was at Alliance. The score was about the same as it was at Broken Bow. The game was fast and at no time could they claim the big part of the score until the finish. At Sidney, the next night, the game was even faster than with Alliance. Broken Bow had better teamwork and passed the ball much faster than Sidney, but the size of the gymnasium and the presence of poles in the center of the floor were a great hindrance. Heller and Jeffords did splendid goal throwing, while Crawford held down the guards. The third game was on Monday, against the huskies of Chadron State Normal. The game was not as fast as those previous, but was of such a nature that one knew there was something doing. Jeffords, in this game, deserves special mention as a free goal thrower. He threw 18 out of 21 trials. The next evening Chadron High School played the Broken Bow High School. The game was a little one-sided, which is shown by the score—34 to 9. The last game on the trip was played at Crawford High School. The contest was not fast, but showed some of the finer points of the game. The floor being slick was a great hindrance to both teams, but Broken Bow finally got the big end of the score before the whistle blew for the close of the conflict. The score was 53 to II. The last game of basketball was played with St. Paul High School at Broken Bow, February 8. The score was 31 to 37 in favor of Broken Bow. This was by far the best game of the season. The boys showed fine teamwork and did splendid goal throwing. Jeffords and Heller were the goal “sharks,” while Humphrey did fine also. Crawford showed the audience the fine points of guarding. Every man played a star game. The passing of the ball on both sides was fine. St. Paul remarked that they were treated by the crowd and boys in the game better in Broken Bow than in any town which they had visited on their trip, which speaks well for the hospitality and sportmanship of the Broken Bow enthusiasts. —74— Kussom Bowman Taylor Pretty man Osborne Reman Osbourn Bass Porter Doras Porter, For ware Mary Bowman, Forward Lulu Taylor.

'll —75— OSirls Uaskft $all I his being ihe first year that much attention has been paid to basketball, the girls feel quite proud of their record. The first game of the season was with the Alumnae. The High School did not have an organized team yet and as they had not had very much practice, the Alumnae defeated them 7 to 9. The next game, with Aurora, was also a defeat for the High School. It was largely due to the fact that Aurora played closed courts, which the Broken Bow girls had never played, and that they had one star player, who won the game. At the end of the first half the score was 3 to 7 in favor of Aurora, but the last half they put in the center, the star player of the team, as forward, and she made 18 points, making the score 27 to 7. The return game has not been played yet, but will be in the near future. Aurora will have to play open courts at Broken Bow and the girls are sure they can defeat them. Ravenna High School was defeated by the Broken Bow High School, both at Ravenna and at Broken Bow. The score at Broken Bow was 33 to 6. The girls played excellent ball, the teamwork being especially good. The score at Ravenna was 6 to 7. They played closed courts there also, which did not give us much of a chance for teamwork (but the girls played the game anyway). The girls' class games also deserve mentioning. The Freshmen were defeated by the Sophomores by a score of 3 to II, but as the Sophomores had more experienced players than the Freshmen, they naturally had the advantage. The Junior and Senior game was quite interesting, especially for the Seniors, as they had to do the rooting for themselves or have none at all. The Seniors won by a score of 8 to I 4. The Sophomores and Seniors then played to determine the championship of the High School. It was by far the most interesting game of the three. Two or three of the Senior girls got hurt, which kept them from playing as well as usual, but they played a good game in spite of it. The Sophomores also played a very good game. At the end, the score was 6 to 7 in the Sophomores favor, and they went off the floor with banners flying. FKKSHMAN. INTERCLASS CHAMPIONS Langson. Sub. McCune. ('enter Cole. Sub.

Bruce - Co. For first-class lumber, coal and cement. We appreciate your patronage. H. T. Bruce, Phone 234 Broken Bow, - Nebraska Observations and Quotations Every woman has her say. All’s swell that ends swell. “Get on, get honor, get honest.” All that is fried is not “fritters.” A woman’s unfailing reason—“because.” Uneasy lies the head that wears the puffs. A little “yearning” is a dangerous thing. Every knock is a boost—for the other fellow. “He makes love best who makes loves last.” It is a dangerous habit to “drop remarks,” they may be picked up again. This is an advanced age. We will be having a wireless fence next. The head that supports the largest coiffure does not always contain the most brains. Eve was the only woman who could truly say to her lover that he was the only man that had ever kissed her. Surprise your face—Smile! Ex.
