DEDICATION To our bravo soldiers, both students and alumni, who have answered their County’s call and who are willing' to make the supreme sacrifice in order that Democracy shall not perish from the Earth, this little book is reverently dedicated. BOOM ClA n Jfnrruiorb Our purpose in editing “The Broken Bow” is to give our many friends an insight into the activities of the students and faculty of the Broken Bow High School and present to them an accurrate picture of the students at work and at play. It is our desire to accord to each one his proper place in this book, and to present an impartial and unbiased history. If any one has net been given his due, it is because of the difficulty of our task and not because of any desire to be unfair. If this little book recalls to former students some of the profitable and pleasant hours spent in High School and gives our friends an accuiate picture of the student life at Broken Bow, our labors have not been in vain. James Louder, Editor. Broken Bom High School Song In the state of Custer County With its hills and valleys fair to see; There rules the Queen of all the prairie In soverign majesty. Both purity and strength her colors, Blazen forth upon her banner bright, We’ll honor them and love forever Our glorius Red and White. Then hail to thee our Alma Mater, Hail our High School ever true and strong, Accept as gift upon the alter The tribue of our song. Refrain: Broken Bow, Broken Bow, She’s the greatest “High” of any that I know, Always pressing onward, may her glory ever grow, My honored Alma Mater, Broken Bow hi—o. PRINCIPAL, H. E. MOGLE THE BROKEN BOW SCHOOL BOARD H. LOMAX L. D. GEORGE MRS. C. L. GUTTERSON GEO. KIFFIN A. J. VAN A NT WERE HISTORY OF BROKEN BOW HIGH SCHOOL From the beginning of time man has always desired to increase his knowledge. To satisfy this desire schools were established. The early home of our High School was in the Scuth Side building but later it was moved to the one cn the North Side. The “Class of ’90” consisted of one lone graduate, Dr. Willis Talbot. In 1910, the present magnificent building was erected, which can boast of school equipment and facilities equal to these of any city in the state. The students have ample reason for being proud of the High School. It’s large, well ventilated, well lighted assembly hall with its fine pictures and school ensigns hanging on the walls, it’s wide stairways, ccmfoi table recitation rooms and large gymnasium, make it indeed a pleasant place in which to work. The life-like statue of Abraham Lincoln, presented by the Class of T3, is a beautiful addition to the many attractions of the school. The Senior Class of T8 will this year present a companion statue, of George Washington. The students have always enjeyed taking pait in the various activities of the school. Football, basketball, and track are sources of pleasure to the boys, while the girls get just as much enjoyment and benefit from track, basketball, and tennis. We have a Boys’ and a Girls’ Glee Club, both of which have done splendid work. Our contestant, Russel Grimes, this year was successful in the Sub-district Declamatory contest, gaining the right to go to Grand Island to speak in the district contest where he was also awarded first place. However, before play, must come school work. Under the able direction of our worthy instructors much has been accomplished along the line of brain-manufacturing during the past thirty years. The history of our school has in many ways repeated itself. The Janitor-man still admonishes the pupils to keep off the grass, and the merry students, as in days of old, pay but little heed to his threatenings. Each year a greener bunch of Freshmen than the last, starts up the hilly road toward graduation and, as in days of yore, memorize with great difficulty “amo, amas, amat,” and “tu, tibi, te, te,” The Sophmores get wiser, yet more foolish, as they try to grasp and assimulate the fact that, “the angles opposite the equal sides of an isosceles are equal.” The Junior still endeavors to retain his dignity while he vainly insists that he is quite sure, in fact, almost certain, that the dates of the French Revolution are not important. The Senior Classes have become more brillian each year until this year we have the brightest Senior Class imaginable. However, that does not excuse each and every member of “said class” from learning by heart, that “Columbus sailed the ocean blue In fourteen hundred and ninety-two.” In conclusion, the histoiy of our school shows marked advancement and pi ogress along all lines. The watchword of the pupils and faculty, both in work and play, is Cooperation. All are working for the same end—A Bigger Better High School.

Some of our members have fallen by the wayside and there are only thirty-four left. Those who have dropped out are engaged in different activities. Some are fighting in France, others are farming and still others are married. Some of these places of course have been filled by other noble members who have joined our ranks during the past three years. As “freshies” we were a “live bunch.” Lucile Day was president. Our freshmen girls were “small but mighty” and showed it by placing themselves next to champions in the class tournament. A number of our gallant boys represented us on the football team. During this year we acquired the terrible habit of “Sneak day” from the noble Seniors of ’15. Harriet Johnson was our president during the second year and as the saying is, “Soph’s are wise fools,” we did cur best to live up to it. We entered into all the activities and were successful in some while in others we were not. In our Junior year Prudence Beal was president. The main events were Senior-Recognition Day and the Junior-Senior Banquet on which occasion we showed our skill as social entertainers. During this year we won the attendance banner thus proving we were “always on the job.” Finally comes our last year and naturally the best, when all the lower class-men look up to us. Day Martin is cur president and Mr. Mogle our class advisor. We have enjoyed several “weenie roasts” and hikes, and are anticipating many more. When Senior-Recognition Day came we were presented and accepted. Both our boys and girls have been represented in Basket-Ball and are now practising for track. The next great event which we are looking forward to is Commencement week, when we will be entertained by the Juniors and Alumni, when we will display our skill as stage actors; when we will show our “loyalty” to the High School by presenting a statute of Washington and when on that eventful eve we will receive our diplomas as official recognition of our satisfactory completion of the four years course in good old Broken Bow High School.

The Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors that were here then gave us stares that were a mixture of sympathy and haughtiness. Miss Laberta Dysart was our class advisor and her kind services were appreciated by all of us. In due time came the election of cur class officers. Although parliamentary rules were not very well understood by us, we finally succeeded in electing Gladys Stockham for president; Alice Wahl, vice-president; Kenneth Sargent, secretary; and Alyce Chrysler, treasurer. Launched secure in the great ship of the I?. B. II. S. we bravely floated our colors of purple and white in the breeze. We soon conquered the feeling of Freshmen and became Sophomores. Miss Myra Silver now took the place of Miss Dysart, and it is to her we owe our success the past two years. Her sunny smile and genial disposition have eased many a Junior heartache when he felt he was going to flunk in some subject. As Sophomores we were the Social entertainers of the school. The first large affair was a reception given by us in honor of the New Freshmen. We initiated them into our school with a good time plus punch and wafers. Our next affair was a Valentine party, and last but not least, the picnic at Georgetown, where we were delayed by a rainstorm, and had to call at the farmhouses for shelter. Our class officers in our Sophomore year were Floy Osborne, president; Stella Andrews, vice-president; Francis Woodruff, secretary-treasurer. As Juniors we are still plodding along. Some of our new classmates that were, have fallen by the wayside and others have joined our ranks, but we are still marching on to our goal where victory awaits us, and will be ready in another year to sail away on the greater ship of life. As Juniors we were entertained at a Hallowe’en Social in the homes of Maude Bowman, Nellie Martin, and Morris Bahr. Our class officers are Faul Chipps, president; Wesley Hogaboom, vice-president; and Marie Morris, secretary-treasurer. In this class the girls as well as the boys have taken an active part in athletics, the boys winning first place in the interclass games in the Sophomore year. Anna Nelson, ’19.

Miss Coe is the class advisor. There is a special opportunity held out for Sophmores. The boys are taught Manual liaining by Professor Hull, and the Domestic Science class is promising some exceptional cooks, under the supervision of Miss Reaneau. On April first, it was the fiery eloquence of our illustrious class president that saved the da , until I rofessor Hull was called from the room and private business could be safely transacted. This class is quite gifted, boasting of several talented musicians, two promising artists, an elocutionist and a vocalist. If any more proof is needed as to quality or quantity of the class just ask any of its members.

Their heads are enlarging, because of the new things they aie learning. Thcy'are of all sk.es; some slender and tall, others short and fleshy. In some athletics, the Freshmen are better than the Seniors. In playing football, the Ficshmen do their best by yelling. There are good musicians in the Freshmen class even though they are “Freshies.” Several of them keep things lively; one can always tell when the Freshmen arc near because of the noise they make. The sponsor always knows when to give parties, and whenever there is one, the Freshmen do the rest. Beginning the first of the school year, the Sophomores entertained the Freshmen. Another party was given for the benefit of the class. It was a progressive party and proved a success. There are three class officers; president, vice-president, and treasurer. The president can never keep order in the class meetings because he is so noisy himself. A Freshmen class meeting was held Fbruary 21, 1!)18, and the motto, color and flower were selected. Although the “Freshies” are green now, some day they will know as much as the Seniors; maybe more. Marie Pennington, ’21. ENGLISH DEPARTMENT Esther Smith The work of the English Department has many phases and in its aim is inevitably ambitious, however meager its achievement. The course covers three years’ work of five recitations each week. It does not consist of all composition or all literature. The monotony is relieved by correlating the two. As composition is necessarily somewhat more definite in its results than the study of literature, the chief basis for promotion is composition. The purpose cf the study of literature is to give an understanding and appreciation of literary work and as a consequence, to develop the student’s athletic taste. By the acquaintance of the great men and women of literature, he must learn to recognize that what is good is essetially beautiful; he must learn to see as ugly that which is ugly. The object of composition is to enable the student to express his ideas correctly and clearly, for a test of his knowledge in his ability to use the language. Oral and written composition are both emphasized, for they are of highly utilitarian value to adult life. The one affords an opportunity for the building of an effective vccabulaiy to be held at instinctive command; the other meets occasions of organized composition, whether it be in the form of a business letter, an essay, or a history. Oral composition makes the ready man; wiitten composition makes the exact man. Narration is the form of discourse that is taken up first, but exposition and argumentation are better adapted to the latter years of the high school, because older students are natuarally stimulated by differences of opinion. A course in Histoiy cf Liteiature ficm the time of Beowulf is required in the Junior year to give the student a chronoligical knowledge of the subject. Another phase of the English work is a course that may be called Functional Grammar, its aim being to dispense with parsing formulas which involve no thought, to correct wrong habits of speech, to train the student out of “I seen’s and “I done’s.” We have carried on cur work hopefully, whether or not successfully, with the belief that altogether the study of English is as valuable a discipline, as cultural and as well adapted to developing and giving control of one’s powers as any study in the curriculum. GRAY WOLF In a certain part of the country which was still but thinly settled, an unusually large, battlescai ed, gray wolf, had a snug den that was shared by his mate and her young. Gray Wolf was the terror of the country. He had successfully carried off sheep calves and fowl, in spite of all the farmers could do. They had tried traps, poisoned bait and lunning him with dogs, but to no avail. The wolf’s life seemed to be charmed. At last the farmers had suffered so much from the wolf, that they held a meeting to find a way to get rid of him. They decided to get a pair of hounds and run him down. The hounds came. They were so leng, gaunt and muscular, that they looked as if they could cut-run anything. The men made ready for the chase. Gray Wolf stood with his nose to the wind, head erect, and ears bent forward. He scented dags far away. They must be on his trial. He thought a moment. He could not go to the den for that would endanger his mate and her young. First he would see what kind of degs were after him. He made a half mile circle and came within two hundred yards of his old trail, where he cculd lie hidden and watch the dogs when they passed. After a while they came, with the men on horseback behind. They went by in a swift but easy lope. Gray Wolf knew that these were not like the other dogs that had been but play to him. He made up his mind quickly ar.d set off at a swift lope toward a deep gully, which the water of a stream had worn. The hounds sighted hirn and tedoubled their speed. Gray Wolf doubled his. It was three miles to the gully. The men on horses could not get within shooting range. The hounds stopped baying to save their breath for running. It was but cne mi'e to the gully. The horses were far behind. The hounds and wolf were showing signs of fatigue. Gray Wolf went a little slower. The hounds were nearly upon him and within ten yards of the gully. The hounds had their eyes so intently upon the wolf, that they did not see the gully. Gray Wolf turned just in time, but the hounds shot over the brink to their death. Gray Wolf was safe. Leo Ford, ’21. SEE CUSTER COUNTY FIRST Before the war, sight-seeing people always went to Europe, but since the war they have taken up the slogan “See America First.” They have found that there are a great many things in America that are as interesting as anything that c.uld be found in other countries. People of Custer county should take for their slogan, “Sec Custer Cour.ty First.” At New Helena there is a Hydralic Ram in a spring. This is quite a cuiirsity for anyone who has never seen a spiing. The water is pumped up a hill and furnishes the water supply for a house. This water is so puie that it was once bottled and sent all over the state for medicinal purposes. Around Milburn on the Middle Loup are some very picturesque spots, due largely to the beautiful vegetation and the many different kinds of ferns along the river. Doiis Lake, near Saigont, also on the Middle Loup, is the site of what used to be a pleasure resort. There was a theater where theatrical troops came out from Sargent and put on plays. They had a hotel, an amusement hall and lots of the things to make a pleasure resort. All that remains, however, are the buildings. Pine Valley, near Callaway, has some places where the sides of the canycns are so high and step that one can just imagine by locking at them how the great canyons of Colorado would appear. One road called the Coiksciew, that leads down into a canyon is long and winding. It reminds the tourist of a mountain road. It is said that this canyon or valley got its name from the great number of pines that used to be there, but now lots of the trees have been cleared out and there are several nice farms in the valley. At Westerville are many large willow tiees that form old land marks. There is a flag pole at Lee Park that shows where the three counties of Custer, Sherman and Valley are joined. Besides all of these natural beauties we have varieties of farms, from the beautiful homes of the fertile southeast to the sand hill, cattle ranches of the noithwest. Helen Holden, ’21. THE RUSE Jack Harrington reclining luxuriously at ease in the large morris chair, carelessly drummed with his fingers on its polished arm while his eyes wandered absently over the grotesque figures which ornamented the carpet. Upon him rested the responsibility of relieving the flag pole, in front of the high school, of its burden of green and white bunting, the emblem of a higher class. A dispute had arisen between this and Jack’s class as to whose colors would adoin the campus flagstaff. First one banner then the ether had held the place of honor, but for the last two weeks the Green and White had waved defiance to Jack’s class. Different methods had been tried to break the impenetrable line of defense, made up of four stalwart champions of the dominating class. However, for the last two weeks, Jack and his colleagues had to be content with destroying the banner. This was accomplished either by riddling it with buck shot or sprinkling with a solution of muriatic acid. The latter, however, had proved rather expensive as eighty feet of garden hose, the wapon of offence, had been eaten full of holes by the acid. Jack was facing a desperate situation: The class funds had become exhausted; some of the class were in favor of letting things stand as they were; the neutral classes thought it high time for some one in authority to take a hand in things. All these things Jack turned over in his mind as he sat engrossed in his one ambition to see his beloved black and maroon banner unfurled to the spring breezes, when the professor placed the feared interdict upon this method of displaying class spii it. He realized too, the weakening influence which that stalwart four exerted on the morale of every member of his class. He had given up all hopes of ever ovreoming these odds and had determined to resign himself to the present circumstances, when his solitude was broken by the entrance if his sister, Ada, who ushered into his presence their cousin, Cleo Reynolds. The two were typical modem high school girls, cheerful, energetic, out for all the fun which life held for them. Jack scrutinized the new comer noting with an appreciative eye the fine points which go to make up an ideal girl. The delicate tresses of black which peeped from under the velvet tam-o-shanter; the long eyelashes that half hid the merriment which danced in the orbs beyond; the regularity of features, and the careless dignity which accompanied each graceful move. He was interrupted in this occupation by the sarcastic inquiry from his sister, “Well, do you have to be introduced?” It had been almost five years since he had seen his cousin and he was not sure what social ettiquette demanded of him on this occasion, but he decided to take a chance and extending his hand exclaimed, “I should say not.” After half an hour’s conversation the girls betook themselves to the upper chamber of the house. No sooner was Jack left alone than again the gloom, which had preceeded the girls, enthralled his spirit. But suddenly a change came over him. Jumping to his feet he started to pace the floor. His left hand involuntarily sought the lobe of his ear at which he began to tug violently. Hope showed in his features as he halted before the library table and changed to determination as he brought down a clinched fist on its glossy top. “They haven’t got us yet,” he muttered, and turning disappeared through the colonnade which led into the dining room. Next morning Ada found Jack talking in low tones to Cleo and as she drew near she overheard say, “That’s the idea!” After breakfast Jack and Ada left for school. It was ten minutes before the last bell when the two arrived and as soon as Jack had left the company of his sister he quietly summoned one of his class who were loitering in the hall and engaged him in earnest conversation After the two boys parted Jack glanced up the hall and then speedily disappeared into another corridor and out into the open. With rapid stiides he crossed the campus and made his way toward the center of town. The tower clock had just struck eleven; five minutes more and the third period wculd be up. Outside, the feur guardians of the green and white were lazily banking in the sunshine talking over current topics and casting fond glances at the small banner thirty feet above. “Well, well, who’s this?” These words were uttered with some interest by the largest of the boys who at that moment was gazing toward the street. The others turned to look. A quarter of a block away a young lady apparently sixteen or seventeen years of age was sauntering along on the opposite side of the street. Her figure was set off by a smart street suit and in her hand she carelessly swung a black traveling bag. As the center of interest drew near one of the boys admitted that he was not acquainted but added emphatically, “If she stops in this burg I’ll be the first one to be introduced.” A few mir.utcs later she turned the corner and disappeared behind the small cottage, which was the present heme of one of the professors. The boys had risen preparatory to going to class, when they were attracted by the approach of a fast moving and recklessly driven car. A moment later they saw it swing its huge bulk behind the same corner which the attractive stranger had turned. The screech of brakes suddenly applied, a feminie scream and then silnee. Forgetting all else in their delirium of excitement the four rushed forward toward the scene of disaster. Before their flight was half made a tangle of green and white splashed the ground. As two of the boys were tenderly lifting the prostrate Cleo, the Black and Maroon was once more ascending to the imperial position of king of the campus while the deposed was being tom into strips and tacked to the stairs. The class bell sounded and a moment later the supporters of the green and white were trampling under foot their beloved colors. Order gave way to turmoil and confusion. It was fifteen minutes after the bell had summoned all to a general assembly before the faculty were able to gather in their wards. When, at last, all were assemb'ed and that august personage, the superintendent mounted the platfoim and declared that in behalf of order and discipline, this thing v ould have to stop. Jack Harrirgtrn, the hero of the Sophomore class hauled down the b ack and maroon and dedicated the pole to the use of patriotism which was promptly followed by he raising of Old Glory. Irving Steen, ’20. “THE HOME RUN” James was the only son of Mr. and Mrs. Brown, who were respected citizens of North Bend. To be suio he had three sisters, but what are girls anyway, when it comes to playing ball and tossing bricks at cats. Now girls is always a’ thinkin’ of ribbons and such, instead of wonderin’ who was to be the captain of the village nine. Spring was coming to North Bend. The green grass was trying to show beneath the brown, birds were flecking from the south, and best of all was the warm sunshine and gentle breezes. All this was noticed by James and his pals. To them, it meant only one thing, which was, “It’s time to organize a ball team.” Their joy was complete— youth, springtime, and ballgames. One evening, as the Brown family rose from the supper table, Mrs. Brown an-nrunced that she must attend to an errand at one of the neighbors, and also addressing her ycuthful Sen, James, said “The girls are going to have seme friends come this evening and I will not have time to wash the dishes, so, James, YOU will have to do them. There really are net very many and it is good piactice for a boy your age. “Mother.” said the disgusted James, “You know I can’t wash these dishes, besides that’s what girls is for—Gee! They make me tired They’re alwas’ a lunnin’ around.” “That will do,” twinkled Mrs. Brown and she walked away with just a faint sympathetic smile on her face. James gingerly surveyed the deserted dining room and it seems that he had never seen so many glasses and plates in all his life. “Makes me sick,” he murmured, “Now these girls”-------here he sighed and putting the p'ates and all other dishes in an untidy pile, he wheeled them into the kitchen, none too gently. Turning on the hot water faucet he filled the pan biimming full and then he stuck one finger gingerly in it. “Ouch,” he muttered, “I’ll bet that water’s hot enough to roast a turkey.” Just then that youthful chum and colleague, Jce Green burst into the room. “Oh Himmey,” he yelled, “Come on were goin’ to have a game before it gets dark, and let’s trim’ ’em. The boys is waitin’.” James gave one look at the dishes and then transferred his gaze to the window, where all his chums were gathered on the little meadow which was the official grounds of the village nine. “Commin’,” he yelled as he snatched his dusty cap from a chair and out they tore. The teams were soon deeply engrossed with their playing. In the meantime, Mrs. Brown had returned and in great dismay was confronted with an untidy, dish strewn kitchen. “Oh mother,” wailed Margaret, coming from the library, “Where is James? He left those dishes in the kitchen and all the girls saw them. “I would just like to have hold of him”, answered Mrs. Brown. At this instant Mr. Brown spied James playing baseball and at once the three rushed to the porch and into the yard. “James,” called Mr. Brown in a deep voice. That youthful hero was on third base and just ready to top his side with a much needed score. The pitcher, ball and all the boys were completely forgotten as James surveyed his dignified father advancing towards him and he fairly flew to the house. The next morning Joe Green met James on the way to school and said disguest-edly, “Gee! You’re surely a dandy, goin’ and leavin’ las’ night. Why didn’t you stay and make yer home run?” “Hm—” asserted James, “Home run nothin’. Ma got the fire shovel. Dad the broom and let me tell you I sure made a home run. Those Germans haint nothin’ on Ma and Dad. Don’t talk home run to me.” Gladys Stockham,’!!). A DESCRIPTION XII English A little miss of twelve sat at the piano. She was clad in a large kitchen apron that had been thrust on hastily over her school dress, only every other button being fastened, and a bit of middy collar protruding from a gap. Her brown hair held captive by two pins was done in a rather uncertain knot on the back of her head. This young aitist was not burdened with the consciousness of frivolous vanities at this particular moment. Her fingers tripped gracefully through runs and triplets and came down with force on the inevitable chord at the end of each musical story. The hard places were labored through with great painstaking. At the end of a particularly hard place the rebellious fingers struck into a rollicking rag-time, whereupon, mother appeared and immediately the popular air ceased and with a sigh the lesson resumed. Marguerite L. George, '18. THE WILDCAT “We’ll get ahead of you yet, Louise. You just wait and see what we don’t do to y. u.” “All right, Bob, I’ll wait, prcbably forever,” answered Louise. Thus she expressed her disbe'ief in the beys’ ability to defeat them. All during the past two weeks of the house-paity, the boys and girls had rivaled each ether to see v. ho cculd play the biggest pranks, and so far the girls were ahead in the game. The five ycung people were resting after a lively picnic in the woods. C'aia and Elizabeth wcie busy knitting, and Claience was sprawled out on a coyote-skin lug reading a bock. Lcuise and Bob were so busy arguing they did not have time for anything else. “What time do we start for that circus to-morrow?” asked Clarence. “Oh, about one o’clock. The circus starts at half-past two, and that ought to give us plenty of time, unless the car breaks down,” answered Elizabeth, the hostess. “I don’t believe I can pcssibily get up that early”, broke in Bob. “Why, what do you mean, Bob Cuitice? Can’t you get up by noon?” “Oh, 1 see! I thought you meant one o’clock in the morning,” and Bob dodged as a bock came flying toward him. Just then Fred Stuait, another member of the house-party, came in with the mail, which he had gene to get from Stanton, a small town not far away. “I heard seme news while I was in the big city of Stanton,” he said, as he was distributing the letters and papers. “Oh, what is it? What is it?” ciied all the girls in chorus. “Well-11-11,” drawled Fied provokingly, “As I was saying, while I was in the big city of Stanton to get the mail from the pest office and general store combined-------” “Oh, hurry up a little Fred,” urged Clara impatiently. But Fred would not hurry, and Clara jumped up to leave the room. “Cool down, cool down,” urged Fred soothingly. “The temperature is high enough anyway to-night, without ycu making it any hotter. Here’s the news in a nut-shell. A wildcat has escaped from the circus over in Johnstown, and is around in this neighborhood s mewheie. So ycu girls had better stay near er home and not go walking so much. Ycu might meet it, and get frightened to death.” “What in the world do you think we are?” inquired Louise, heatedly. “I’ll bet you’d run at sight of the thing.” “Well, what would you do, please may I ask ” “Why, I’d walk light up to it, shake hands and say ‘How-do-you-do?’ of course,” lejcined Lcuise sarcastically. As they all v.ent up-stairs that night, Elizabeth remarked to Clara and Louise, “Remember, girls, mother said we had to clean the dirt off that rug we used the other day, before we leave for the circus to-morrow.” “All right, we will.” “And ycu needn’t expect us to beat it for you, either,” put in Bob. “Nobody’s asking ycu to, Mr. Cuitice. We’re so afraid you might injure yourself.” The next morning, the girls were up bright and early, hard at work. But they just had the rug hung up on the clothes-line, when the boys came down-stairs and they all had breakfast. After breakfast, forgetting all abcut the rug, the whole party drove over to Elizabeth’s uncle’s and spent several enjoyable hours there. They came home just before twelve, and decided they would have to hurry in order to get ready in time. Suddenly Elizabeth exclaimed, “Oh dear! There’s that horrid old rug out on the lire, and it just has to be beaten befere we leave. Fred, there’s a good boy; go out and beat it. Please.” But Fied smilingly declined, saying it was too hot, and Clarence also refused. They did not ask Bob, for the very good reason that he was nowhere to be found. So Clara took the beater and went outside. At sight of the rug hanging way-down to the ground on each side, and the sun shining cruelly, high up in the heavens, she a’most gave up. But Claience and Fred, with broad grins on their countenances, were sitting in the shade watching her. So she went to work and beat for a time, then went into the house to send out Lcuise. Lcuise and Elizabeth had been discussing the circus and the escaped wildcat, so that when Louise came cut to beat the rug, she was thinking about that terrible beast. Abscntmindcdly, she began to pound on the lug, and after the fust few whacks, it moved. Louise hit again, and again the lug moved. By this time she was getting scared, and when, at the next hit, a furiy paw reached cut at her, she screamed, “The wildcat,” dropped the beater, and ran. After her, with the coyote-skin iug hanging frem one shoulder, came Bob. E. Ardis Kiffin, T8. REMINISCENCES OF BROKEN BOW HIGH “The long train of ages glide away. The sons of men, the youth in life’s green spring, and he who gees in the full strength of years,” have gone cut to win or lose in ihe batt'e of life. Meanwhile old B. B. High, where these stalwart youths and modest maids started their career, has been steadily making history. In order that those who have gene before may renew their youth, and these who remain may refresh their memory, a few anecdotes of B. B. High have been set forth in the following paragraphs. One day, a long time before the library door was forever closed, Bill Smith walked into the library and closed the door behind him. Peace reigned in the assembly room. From the sounds that issued presently from the ether side of the library door, Miss Smith concluded that Bill was taking a little recreation in target practice. She advanced to the libraiy with steps swift and sure. Bill quickly stepped into the office, and just as Miss Smith disappeared through the libraiy doer Bill issued from the office and walked leisurely to his seat. He had just sat down when Miss Smith hunied through the office door in swift puisuit. The victim was safe. Lucky Bill! One afternoon early in the school year of ’17 and ’18, James Louder stopped Mr. Mogle in the hall and told him abcut an article he had read in a scientific periodical. He told it with great painstaking and used choice words greatly cherished by the speaker, since he had looked them up in the dictionary. When he had finished, Mr. Mogle looked up from the paper that he had been scribbling on and said “Huh?” and James cleared his threat and started in again. Lorren Hatfield eveidently thought that one chair was not enough to distribute himself upon so he attempted to sit on two, one day in Spanish class. The result of this extravagant reasoning was a leud crash and a hasty precipitation of Lorren upon the floor. Mary McCandlcss stood down in the lower hall one noon and called “Hello” to all the girls that came in, until Herb grew wrathy and asked her if she were on the reception committee. I think that she told him that she was. It is a psycholigolical fact that no one ever crosses the campus when a teacher is not looking from one of the windows. Do you remember the day that the water pipe broke in Chem-Lab? Well, that was scrubbing day at B. B. High. It should be marked in red on the calendar for that is the first time this year that the laboratory floor has been clean. And those tacks in the banister! I guess that Herb thought it was a practical joke. If he had torn the skin off of his hand on them, as some of the rest of us did, maybe his jokes wouldn’t be so pointed. Senior Recognition Day was one of the happiest of the school year. Mr. Hull’s very able speech will not be forgotten by the seniors at least. The trial and sentence of James Lowder for spilling ink by Marian Lomax’s desk, was a clever performance on the part of the Juniors. The punch and wafers served down in Miss Smith’s room after the program, were delicious. In fact the Junior class did themselves brown in providing entertainment for the seniors, alumni and friends. When Miss Weissbach came up to entertain us with some music she kindly consented to play a few songs for the school to sing. The Girls Glee Club volunteered some variations when “Loves Old Sweet Song” was sung. That is one of their favorite selections. The senior class had kind of an achy feeling in its throat the day Lucile left. Those diminutive signs written in paganistic hieroglyphics on the assembly room blackboard were announcements of senior class meetings by order of the President. The seniors had the dictinction of being the only ones in school who could translate them. Miss Silver hurried thrush the hall, Her screams a heart would melt, Before her door she took a fall, Upstairs the jar was felt. There was some class to those debates in English. They were interesting as well as instructive. One day just before the tardy bell rang, when the school was all assembled in the assembly room and Mr. Mogle had succeeded in establishing quiet, a Junior boy sitting in row five and about seat seven, or there-abouts, cleared his throat. The pathos and agony expressed in the action aroused the sympathy of every one present and Mr. Mogle said, “This is a fine climate but that fellow sure ought to be in Denver,” Many amusing incidents have occurred every day about the halls and in the recitation rooms of B. B. High but owing to the limited space of the annual and the valuable time of the author, only a few have been recorded here. Say that this annual is a success and boost for the one coming out next year. Marguerite I,.George,’lS. Cook � « (u cA IjOV A o O- LA b asm SCord. t k . C- mJ HISTORY Myra Silver History is the science of the unique evolution of man in his activities as a social being. It is the story of past events and conditions. The main purpose is to present the subject in such a way that the past will be closely associated with the present, so that the events of today will seem to be a product and direct outgrowth of what has gone before. The department of histoiy includes Civics, Ancient, Medieval, Modern and American histories. The progress of civilization since it first began up to the present time is fully outlined, the main endeavor being to connect each of the different periods in such a way that their relation to the preceding period will be clearly shown. The Oriental civ-i'ization is shown to lead up to the Greek and the best elements in each are combined. Then later the Reman peiiod supersedes this and absorbs some of its best civilization. All this work is almcst completely destroyed by the Germanic invasions, and for a thousand years the European world is busy repairing what has been destroyed. The next great historical division shows the growth of modern European nations, and the conse-ouent building of cur own, culminating in the industrial economical and political struggle in which we are now engaged. Civics is taught similarly. The aim here is to show the everyday value of the subject, net only in one’s private affairs, but in his community relations also. MATHEMATICS Irma G. Coe The mathematics department includes algebra, geometry, and commercial arithmetic. The essential subjects for the first and second year classes are algebra and geometry. Each of these are studied the entire year. In algebra we begin with the fundamental operations involving the positive and negative numbers, developing the knowledge and use of the equation and the formula. The field of geometry consists of equal, similar, and equivalent geometric figures. This is developed from simple to more complex theorems. A course in advanced algeibra and solid geomerty is offered to the third year class. Commercial arithmetic is given to those Freshmen, who are registered in the commercial course. Accuracy and rapidity are the watchwords here. The importance of mathematics is often questioned. Ferhaps this can be answered in the words cf G. Stanley Hall: “Mathematics is the ideal and form of all careful thinking.” Mathematics is playing a great pait in the present world conflict. The measuring of distances to targets cut of sight and triangulation involved- to ascertaining distances in any general advance are mathematical considerations. f - v-. ; ■ ■ ’ j SCIENCE Mogle and Charni The Science Department, with the exception of the commercial is the largest department in the High School. There are no less than five different and widely related subjects taught in this department: General Science, Physics, Chemistry, Physiology, and Botany. General Science is taken by all the Freshmen the first semetser. This is a course given with the idea of providing a foundation from which to branch off and carry later on one of the more complete sciences, such as Physics or Chemistry. Botany is carried by .all the Sophomores the second semester. While one semester is too short a time to teach a subject, like Botany, yet an effort is made to go deep enough into the work to give the student a general idea of the phenomina and growth of plant life.. .. . ■ • - Physics is a Junior subject and is carried all year. This with Chemistry, is perhaps the best course pffered in the whole department. The high school is particularly fortunate in having a large and well equipped laboratory for the studnts to work in. This course takes the student through the various phenomina of nature, such as light, heat, sound and electricity, and gives him an intelligence of those things which he could perceive but net understand. The course is divided into two parts: the recitation and ■K text botk woik, and the experiments from the manual perfoimed, with suitable appaia-tus, in the laboratory. Physiology is a Junior subject and is carried the second semester. It is an advanced course in this subject and deals with all phases of the human body. The study cf Chemistry as a branch of science, should be given more consideration in the high school curriculum than it ordinari’y is. Today the demand for good chemists far exceeds the supply, and the government is even offering exemptions to certain students in college, until they can complete their course. 'I he laboratory in the Broken Bow High School is considered for its kind, second to none in the state, by visiting chemists who have seen it, and for a school to drop such an important course when it is the best equipped department, would certainly be considered neither proper nor patriotic by the government under existing circumstances. In ccnc'.usion it might be said that the tendency to discourage science work in high school is a bad thing. The men with the mechanical turn of mind is the man that the government is especially looking for, because he is the one that has contributed most towards wining the war. This war unlike other wars has resolved itself into a huge battle of machinery. If we are to do cur full part, it is necessary that we have the proper number of nren whose knowledge is along this line. The proper place to start it is in the science laboratory of the high school. CO M M E RCIA L I)EP A IiTM E NT J. Fern Moorman In the Commercial Department the student learns the fundamentals of bookkeeping and acquires a fair speed in shorthand and typewriting. He learns the principle of debits and credits, can made a trial balance and balance sheet, and learns the purpose of such business forms as checks, notes and drafts. When the course is finished, he should be able to keep books for any establishment doing business on a small scale. The stenographer, at the end of the two years’ work, should be familiar with the most common business phrases; shculd be able to take dictation at the rate of ninety or a hundred words a minute and transcribe fluent'y. In fact, he should be able to handle the work in any ordinary office. Some who complete this high school course are much better qualified, and some are not, depending upon the aim, effort and natural ability of the student. The knowledge thus gained should be supplemented by economics, salesmanship, accountancy, and kindred subjects studied in a higher institution. The man who has absorbed the main principles of these subjects is in position to compete fairly with his brothers in the world of business. MANUAL TRAINING W. R. Hull The work in manual training is new in our school. It was introduced in the middle of this year and offered to boys of the tenth grade. It is designer! to be for the hoys what Domestic Science is for the girls. A very good assortment of tools and manual training benches comprise the equipment and the boys have enjoyed the novelty of this work as a change from book courses. One semester is required for boys in the Normal Training Course. NORMAL TRAINING W. R. Hull 1 he Normal training Department of the High School, designed to offer preparation to high school pupils who expect to enter the teaching profession, is organized according to the provisions of the Nebraska Normal Training Law so that graduates from this course receive teachers certificates at the time of graduation. It is the aim of this department on the one hand, to furnish practical and helpful courses which will make the work of the beginning teacher, easier and pleasanter, and on the other to be of service to the boys and girls of Custer county by helping to supply well trained teachers for the country schools. Work in theory of education followed by practice teaching and accompanied by a review of the common branches from the teachers point of view, prepares the prospective teacher for the problems of the schoolroom. The course in Domestic Science this year has been quite thoroughly covered. The first lessons contituted the making of the Uniforms, preparatory to the laboratory work. Dans were made for two laboratory lessens per week and three days of lecture work. The lectures covered the various phases of home economics such as: sanitation marketing food and dietetics, laundry, home building and furnishing. We have endeavored to make class discussion a strong point in our work. Much importance has been placed on the proper serving of various meals, and this has been accomplished by the actual practice in our laboratory work. In the laboratory, the girls began with the preparation of the simpler foods and from this to the more complex. Invalid cookery has been taken up with practice work. In sewing, the girls have made various garments, the greater part of the year the sewing being done by hand. Among the articles made were a Service Flag for the High School and numerous garments for the Red Cross. The latter part of the year a sewing machine was obtained and more inteiesting work could be done in the Sewing Department. DOMESTIC SCIENCE Helen Keneau COACH CHARM PERSONNEL OF THE TEAM Captain Jones: Half and end; now in the army; a scrapper, deadly tackier, strong on either offense or defense; a great loss to the team.

Guy Brown-: Guard; we lost a good player when Guy did not return after the Ravenna Game. He had great possibilities. The first night out he crippled almost the entire team. The “Old Boy” was sure there. FOOTBALL SEASON OF 18 17 With the playing of the Thanksgiving game the Broken Bow High School closed a successful season of football. From September 27th to November 2!)th ten games, were played of which six were victorious and four were defeats. The season was rather remarkable in that the team started with a rush, winnning three straight games, slumped and dropped the next four, braced and won the next three. Broken Bow scored 2GG points to their opponents 198. The season opened September 27th with the Callaway game which was won by Broken Bow, 74 to 0. ' On October 5th Kearney Military Academy played on the local field, and were defeated by the decisive score of 86 to 0. The Academy team was somewhat handicapped by their long ride. October 12th, Mason City played here, Broken Bow winning a hard fought game by the score of 20 to 0. Hogaboom was injured early in the game and this hurt the team, as the team play at this stage was built around him. CAPTAIN JONES October 10th, Broken Bow went to Ravenna and were defeated by the heavy score of 61 to 0. The Bow team was crippled in this game to the extent of having to play linemen in the back field. However, credit is due the Ravenna team as they played a whirlwind brand of football. October 26th will stand cut as the one black spot of the season, for on that date Ansley with an inferior team succeeded in catching Broken Bow in an overconfident mood and won by the close score of 7 to 0. The fact remains, Broken Bow gained twice as much ground as Ansley., and later defeated Loup City 29 to 0, while Ansley played two games with Loup City, with a sccre of 0 to 0 each time. November 2nd, Broken Bow went to Gothenburg and were defeated by the champions of western Nebraska by the score of 89 to 0. On November 9th Ravenna came here for a return game, which contrary to expectation, revolved itself into the most interesting game of the season. The Broken Bow team had been shifted around until at last the men had feund the place where their ability could be best used. The final sc:re, 17 to 0, in faver of Ravenna does not indicate the extreme closeness of the game. This game provided the confidence which together with the improvemnt in the team as a whole cariied them “over the top” in the remaining three games. November 16th, Broken Bow went to Ord, and in a drizzling rain defeated that team by the score of 20 to 0. Ord played hard to win, but at no stage of the game wore they better than Broken Bow. November 23rd Greeley played Broken Bow for the first time on the local field and were snowed under by the score of 67 to 0. Greeley was weak and badly outweighed but played hard until the end. Thanksgiving Day, November 29th, Broken Bow played Loup City on the heme ground and won by a score of 29-10. Broken Bow played the best football that they exhibited at any previous time duiing the season, and the sccre settled in the m'nds of the followers of the team the respective meiits of Ansley and Broken Bow. Lcup City had an excellent team and at some other time of the season could probably have beaten Broken Bow, instead of when they were at their best. The team was well supported financially by the people of the community, a most encouraging sign that the time is near at hand when Broken Bow will be represented by a team, which past records in this great game, entitles it to. Too much praise cannot be given to the boys who responded to the colors of the school to represent them on the field in the games, but the man behind it all must be remembered and praised for his share, which was the greatest of any, and the boys all say that they were well drilled and had much football knowledge taught them by their coach. Coach .Charni came here in the fall, and with a team of possibilities he has made a team that played the game for all that was in it and in a gentlemanly manner. He did all that he could and praise must be given him for much of the success of the team. a roomii .SEASON, mi )r dk«-r SC - s. Koc ancC- or 'KtAvnt liro c'i u)d—1 4� ttino O. Wct « '+) % ©•''' YV .

Although C ach Carni had nothing but new material except two or three men, he succeeded in developing a strong but inexperienced five. The team proved that they were capable of rounding into a fast team by defeating the strong team from Arnold the first game. The quintet was considerably weakened abcut this time by seme of the men joining the colors. The team enjoyed two of the finest tiips that has ever been given to our H. S. teams and because the team was mostly first and second year men they gained much experience which will be used to great advantage in the next few years. C PTAIN CHIPPS Taking the season as a whole, eveiyone was pretty well pleased because they made a good showing with all the large teams, and the smaller teams, were in every case, decisively defeated. The team is composed of two senior, one junior, two sophomores, and two freshmen.

Class teams were organized under the direction of Miss Coe and practice nights were Tuesday and Thursday cf each week. There was lack of great interest because no cut of town games wore allowed to be were picked from the four classes as evenly as possible. A game was scheduled with the alumni but was called off because they could not organize. Thre was lack of great interest because no out of town games were allowed to be played, but the girls always had good times assembling on practice nights. There were two Interclass games during the season. Sophomores and Juniors and Seniors and Freshmen. The former tied while the Seniors won over the FYeshies with only a few points. The Seniors have held the championship for the last three years and the Freshmen promise just such another team. Now that the Basket Ball season is over the girls are taking up Tennis which will furnish amusement until the end of the year. . TRACK The track team this year as usual, started with a great many out. After the Annual picture was taken some of the would-be-heroes were seen strolling around the campus with some little maiden who was ignorant of the fact that she was keeping a man from helping us win the big contest. But even at that, Coach Charni succeeded in getting a track team that sure will bring home the “bacon” from the county meet on May 11. Coach Charni expects to send his men to the Kearney and Hastings Meet. Last year we won second place at the Western State Meet at Kearney. At the time ihe Broken Bow” goes to press, dual meets have also been scheduled with Sargent and Ravenna. Lowder, Smith, Booth, Chipps, Weisenreder, Skinner, E. Anderson, H. Anderson, Beal, and Kennedy are fine prospects for this year’s meet, all showing up with much more speed than Coach Charni or Captain Mai tin expected. There are others who would no doubt be able to run in the preliminaries with the chart class if the society dudes and wives would quit playing peek-a-boo around the hall. GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB DRAMATICS Dramatics heretofore has played little part in school activities until this year. There has always been a Senior Play, but nothing else. This year things have been somewhat changed. All during the year, weekly programs have been given by the dilferent classes. Senior Recognition and Home Coming Day occurred on January 28th. A program was given consisting of “stunts” representing each class and the alumni, along with several musical numbers. On April l!)th, the Junior Class, successfully presented their play, “Mr. Bob,” under the direction of Miss Myra Silver and Mrs. A. H. Stuckey. This was given at the Lyric Theatre, before a crowded house. The cast of characters was as follows: Mr. Bob ........................................Marie Morris Phillip Royson.............................. Paul Chipps Robert Brown ................................ Russell Grimes Jenkins, the Butler.............................. Morris Bahr Katherine Rogers, Aunt Becky’s Niece...........Idarnay Martin Miss Rebecca Luke .......................... Gladys Stcckham Patty, the maid............................ Maudie Bowman The Senior Class Play, “Green Stockings,” also under the direction of Mrs. Stuckey, was presented the last week of school.

The four students whose pictures appear on this page were chosen at the preliminary contest March 15th to represent the high school in the declamatory contest this Spring. On March 22nd, Russell Grimes won first place in the sub-district contest, at which were represented all the twelve grade schools of Custer and Sherman counties. Having won in this contest he represented this sub-district in the Central Nebraska Contest held at Grand Island April 4th. Here again Russell was first by an unanimous decision of the judges. April 25th, Russell went to Leigh and won first in the State Dramatic Oritorical Contest, thus placing Broken Bow at the head, where she of right belongs. In the Custer County Contest to be held May 11th we will have three entries: Cecil Brolyer in the oritorical class, Edna Myers in the dramatic and Idamay Martin in the humorous. The students of the high school may safely expect that this team will win for Broken Bow a fair share of the honor of that occasion. DEPARTED DAYS Yes, dear departed, cherished days, Could Memory’s hand restore Your Morning light, your evening rays, From Time’s gray urn once more,— Then might this restless heart be still, This straining eye might close, And Hope her fainting pinions fold, While the fair phantoms rose. But, like a child in ocean’s arms, We strive against the stream, Each moment farther from the shore Where life’s young fountains gleam;— Each moment fainter wave the fields, And wider rolls the sea; The mist grows dark,—the sun goes down— Day breaks,—and where are we? —0. W. Holmes SOCIAL DEPARTMENT The Leagues of all the churches of Broken Bov gave a reception for the teachers in the three schools, and for the High School students. A lonely program was given and afterwards punch and wafers were served in a prettily decorated booth. They all became acquainted by forming a ring and shaking hands. The Freshmen-Sophomore Party The Social Calendar opened with the usual event—the Freshmen-Sophomore party. Everyone, including the Faculty, Freshmen and Sophomores were assembled in the gymnasium by eight o’clock. The hour was early for the purpose of setting a good example for the Freshmen. Of course, the first event would have to be in due order, so as not to break their usual custom of getting in early. The accustomed games were played, such as , “drop-the-’kerchief,” “three deep” and “Ruth and Jacob”, for the benefit of the Freshmen, of course. Following this, an amateur field meet was held. Four of the largest colleges were represented. Prizes were given to the winning teams. This was to make the younger classmen familiar with such events. At a suitable hour, refreshments were served, which consisted of the High School’s main diet, “Punch and Wafers.” After this part of the program was over, everyone was supposed to have gene home after having had a gorgeous time, but,---the Fresh- men can tell you the rest. Senior Hike The Seniors became impatient for a party. A class meeting was called and it resulted in a hike. The Seniors walked cut to Tappan Valley School. A big fire was built and supper prepared. They all sang songs and danced around the fire. When all was over they returned to town in cars. The Seniors enjoyed their first gathering immensely. American History Class Hike The American History classes were rewarded for their good work by having a hike. At six o’clock they all were seen walking down the railroad track as far as the Fair Ground. Then came a grand search for wood and a fire was built. Weiners were roasted and supper was enjoyed. Races were run and songs sung. They walked home and Mr. Mogle finished the good time, getting ice cream for some of the crowd. Junior Hallowe’en Party One of the most unique and enjoyable parties in the social calendar of the High School this year was the Junior Hallowe’en party. This party was a progressive one ana the class was entertained at the homes of Morris Bahr, Maude Bowman, and the Chas. Martin home where Miss Silver was hostess. The class decided not to be hampered in their frolics by any “fussy” clothes, so the girls came attired in kitchen aprons and the boys in their work clothes. The decorations at each place were truly beautiful and at each home clever favors were given the guests. The “eats” everywhere were appropriate to the season. The Freshmen Progressive Party On night the Freshmen went around the world. They started from the High School. The first place they visited Japan. A program was given and tea and wafers were served. From there they went to Paris. The styles of the past and present were shown; partners were chosen for lunch, and a desert served. The next place visited was Ireland. A flash-light picture was taken there. Last of all America was visited. A program was given which consisted of patriotic music, and all joined in singing America. A flash-light picture was taken and punch and cake was served. This ended the delightful party which was enjoyed by all. Senior Recognition Day Thirty, fine noble Seniors were presented by Day Martin to Mr. Hull. He accepted the class with an excellent talk. A telegram from the former superintendent, Mr. Martin, congratulating the class on their goed work, was received and read. A seng of High School days was sung by the Seniors. Each class and some of the Alumni gave a stunt in henor of the Seniors. After the program lunch was served and the boys’ interclass games were held. Senior Basket Supper The Basket Supper given by the Seniors to raise money, with which to buy a monument for the Broken Bow high school, proved to be a success. A large crowd attended, the girls bringing beautifully decorated baskets and the boys bringing large pocket books. A basket ball game preceded the sale of the boxes. Coffee was served with the refreshments and after an hour of fun, every one depaited with a feeling that they had enjoyed a jolly good time. Sophomore Party Towards the latter part of April the Sophomores entertained themselves at the High School Building, by putting on several stunts in tiuly dramatic style. As a result of this paity one of the leading Senior track men lost an easy mile foot race because he carried too many bricks of stolen ice cream in his “tummy.” Junior-Senior Banquet The Juniors certainly spread themselves when they gave a banquet to the Seniors. The old gymnasium never looked so beautiful as it did that night. Decorated with green streamers overhead, and surrounded with a wire hedge of green artifical flowers and shrubbery, all of which was lighted with many small electric lights, the artistically arranged tables enclosed made a delightfully pretty scene. The program was well prepared and thoroughly enjoyed by every one. With a complete feeling of fullness the crowd left, voicing their satisfaction as they depaited. When you sit down to read these jokes. Take them as they are meant. And don’t feel hurt your name to see, As they’re just a lot of school nonsense; But think of the happy years in school, 01 the hours you whiled away, And let those golden hours be filled. With memories of by gone days. Russell, in Manual Training.—“How can I drive a nail without smashing my hands.” Mr. Hull.—“Hold the hammer with both hands.” Mr. Mogle, in chemistry—“This is a very explosive substance and it might blow us sky high. Come closer class so you may be better able to follow me.” First Soph.—Did you profit much from the lecture? Second Soph.—You bet I did, we matched pennies the whole time and I won.

C. on his sweater, as he was not in Mason City, but Broken Bow. “I am from Broken Bow. M. C. stands for a— a—.” He did not fiinish, but Loren at once decided it was for Mamie Carland so he apologized for his mistake. Miss Smith, in English Book Review— “It is a peculiar fact, but ‘Uncle Tom’s Cabin’ was written in the house in which Longfellow had lived.” “By the way, where was Longfellow born?” Walter Olson. — “In Uncle Tom’s Cabin.” “Huck”.—“Miss Coe. Oh Miss Coe, what time is it?” Miss Coe.—“Ten after two.” “Huck”—“You're twenty minutes off.” Miss Coe—“Not half what you are off” Don’t linger in the hallways Or sit upon the stairs, Don’t whisper during chapel Or sit around in pairs. If you do you must be careful, And look all around For the Faculty will catch you If you don’t watch out. Curses be on her who first invented stinging. James L.

I have more important things to go spend my money for I have the money with me now $1.00 but I am going to buy a box of candy to send to one of my soldier friends. The Annual don’t amount to two hoots. The Five Wise Men Five boys in the upper class of the B. II. H. S. were overheard talking on Girl-ology—the ability of the opposite sex. Said Murl, alias Jiggs, the first wise man, “You can say all you want to about girls not being able to throw a stone, but she can sure toss her head and cast a glance.” Said Joe, the second wise man, in reply: “ ’Tis-true she can likewise throw a kiss, and it is my meek observation that she can heave a sigh.” Now James, the wisest of the Wise Men, in accents did exclaim: “Concede the dame is able to in other ways, by heck. She can pitch her voice all right, and curve her swan like neck.” Said Paul, another of the Five, “She can pick a fellow up most anywhere in town, and when he gets a little gay the lass can throw him down.” Now Cecil who had been listening all the time, broke in with this concluding statement, “Just as true as you are born, if you give her a chance, she can lift her nose in scorn and thrown an ugly glance.” The same old story, The same old song, The same old fellow The whole year long.

Lives of football men remind us We can kick and punt and hug And departing leave behind us Footprints on another’s mug. One day Mr. Hull went in the Domestic Science room to wash his hands. Just as he got to the basin he heard a slight noise behind the stove, and on investigating he found Ethel D. and Belle C. hiding behind it eating stolen cake from the Domestic Science room cub-board. “That stove is hardly adequate for concealment it is girls?” he laughingly in-quiied. Hast'y getting out the two girls rushed off without a word, but their faces—ah yes their faces. REVIEW OF REVIEWS BROKEN BOW HIGH SCHOOL NINETEEN HUNDRED SEVENTEEN-EIGHTEEN 1917 SEPTEMBER 1917 3-—School began with the arrival of our mostly new Faculty. Everyone was glad to see everyone else, and we had rather a “big family reunion.” As we saw our Faculty sitting on the platform we thot, “Gee, won’t we have a lot of fun,” and they proved it more and more when each had given his or her greeting. Mr. Hull looked fully the dignified part of a superintendent, and capable of taking charge of B. B. H. S., but Mr. Mogle, altho’ he tried to look the part of so high a personage as a Principal, looked more like a mischievous boy with his first pair of long trouseis. In fact he was mistaken for one of the students but we decided that after getting used to having him to be the “boss” a while matters would look different. Mr. Charni, which was a hard name to pronounce, was guessed as coach and Science teacher. On first look we decided he would sure make us hop if we became unruly. Miss Smith, we surmized was just full of fun and pep. Miss Moorman was another new one to us and on first glace, we thought another good business teacher to the credit of B. B. H. S. Most of us knew Miss Reneau, and remembered her as a Star Basket Ball Player, now a dignified Domestic Science teacher. Miss Silver was the same jolly pal as of yore. Miss Coe we wer glad to have back with us again to coach the girls’ basket ball. And “Herb” our old stand by, with his always ready grin was just as glad to see us as we were him. He was glad to be back to his job as overseer of the coal hod and broom and see that we marched down stairs right, etc. Our motto is “What is B. B. H. without Herb ” Seme of the Seniors looked over at the Freshmen and thot, “Did I ever look like that? Then no wonder the poor teachers suffered so. Surely I was never as small as that; why even now these seats in the Senior row are none too large. Oh, horrors I can't believe it but you never can tell what a powerful personage a freshmen will make. Why no dcubt one of them will be the President of the U. S. at least. It sure is a novel experience, this getting acquainted with the new members of the Faculty.
