S. willingly pays tribute to one of its best-loved, most faithful friends. P. A. Orear. When we are in trouble, we know where to go for aid, for from Pres it comes as unfailingly as one can wish. If we don't know what time it is. he informs us willingly. When our books are lost, he can usually tell us where to look for them. If we get lonely for a scolding, he has one on tap for us with little urging. Class days would be strange without him to help decorate, darken rooms and lock doors to keep marauders from other classes from destroying the fruits of our toil. When a pin or hairpin is wanted, he has it. Our frosted toes are soothed on winter days when he shows us just where we may best get them warm. When a French heel suddenly gave way and precipitated the Editor-in- Chief down the stairway, to whom did she go for help? Of course it was Pres. who mended the shoe heel and sent her on her way rejoicing. If we absolutely must relieve our feelings as to the state of our affairs, or the affairs of another, we know who is the ready listener. Keeping in mind all these things, is it any wonder that the pupils of B. H. S. go to him for counsel as well as for comfort? We feel not, and for this reason proudly call Preston A. Orear Our Friend.

H. S. as a Junior. So rapidly have honors been heaped upon her that she is now pres- ident of the class of 'l7. We hope she recovers from this last affliction. KATHIIIGICN l'Hl'lH'H Kathleen was in a serious position recently. She told us that a certain young man's mustache almost tickled her to death. ' Our joy at her escape from death-and the young man-is boundless. IPIIANVIS K. GODHIN Kewpie dropped into B. H. S. from Urich last year. So greatly were we astonished that we permitted him to become one of the Butlerite staff without protest. This year he was made Business Manager. He has also won glory as a B. H. S. debater. He yies with the stars for brilliancy. FANNIE SICLLS C'leora was formerly a normal girl, but in her fourth year of high school she was attacked severely by heart disease. Some say it was in- duced by worry over how to become business manager of a Business Man- ager, but no one is certain. KATIE HARP Katie Harp hailed from Oklahoma, but is a full-fledged Butlerite now. Her career needs no description, as it can be summed up in one huge E.

Only one re- striction to the statement-we think his wings were artistic, perh-aps burnt leather. Mike always was ar- tistic, for he even draws his breath and flies. T-HELMA DEBOVV All of us know her of old. If you don't know her, take a peep into the Kandy Kitchen any Sunday or most any afternoon. If she isnft there with Helen Thomas, she will be with- don't know his name. A - ROBERT VVOLFE Bob has m-ade his mark in the world. For carrying ashes he has no equal. Wonder if he intends to make that his profession? Quite a domestic child. A EDNA ODNEAL A Spruce girl, once on a time. She now spends her hours over lesson plans. Think maybe sheill teach, some of these days. Don't make her angry, or-! Ouch! 'PEARLE FRENCH Pearle is a gem, little, of course, but worthy. We don't know any- thing of her history, but it is ru- mored that she wrote shorthand at the tender age of two years. So en- couraged, she intends it to be her life- work. A Eleven Twcl ve 53-ventura lil'NA KIGNNICY She strayed in from Cass County, and no one drove her off. In a de- lirious spell, the school let her be- come Iflditor-in-Chief. Since then the doors have been made larger in order that her head might' come in without discomfort. It may be men- tioned that her feet are correspond- inarly as large as her head, too. JOH fi DYKMA N Jawn was a native of Amoret until he found Butler. We can say little ot him except that he's here, and that we expect him to be a clerk in a bank soon, though it may be only a clay bank. J l'.-K X IT.-1 HOLLOXVAY Nita bears the distinct stamp of Butler. Her nature is wonderful, partakina particularly of the quali- ties of cayenne pepper. She may do something great, if we are ever able to aet a basketball out of her hands lon: enough to give her a chance. FR.-1 N li YORIS Frank has always been reticent when questioned as to his past, so we can only conjecture as to his fu- ture. We feel that his start in the B. H. S. Carnival entitles him to be- come a barker in a side-show-or else he may make sausage for a liv- ing. AGNES BLAFK Blackie is black in name only. She came into our class quietly and has remained as quiet ever since. Her reserve is as great as Cannie's ver- bosity. That is saying something. . .. . . - I Svvninrn BIABEL CLARKE Mab was found years ago When a basketball was broken open in a heated game. She popped out and into the game, and We have been un- able to separate her from that pas- time since. ' WVILDIA SDIITH V Bill came here from Amoret, she says. Anyhow, she's here. Won fame for a small body with great brains. We'11e proud of her. LAWRENCE IFATCHIN Porky has a sh-ady past. In his youth he dissipated wildly, even to chewing a cake of Spearmint one memorable time. One can hardly Wonder, in the face of the above fact, that he has miserable health. We hope he may recuperate some day. - I CARRIE HARPER Carrie has suffered somewhat from heart disease, so We heard last year. There have been no evidences of it, but instead, a desire to become a sec- ond Miss Smith. Her hopes may be realized in 1987. EDITH SODERSTROM Edith spent her youthful days on a farm near Cornland. Here Was born a determination to become a teacher, the desire being caused, it is said, by a spanking administered by a teacher of hers. Success be hers.

S. her name has changed in spelling thirteen times. If she should take a notion to change her surname, boys beware. A RALPH HARPER Ralph was discovered on a farm near Amoret. He was transplanted to B. H. S., where he flourished steadily until a girl smiled at him. Then-I He is slowly' recovering. LILLIE SODERSTRONI Lillie is as fair as her name sug- gests. In the course of her high school days, she has spoken three times to another boy than her broth- er. We marvel at her audacity. IVAN RAY n Rounder is thoroughly educated-, if one is willing to listen to him about it. He is fond of medals, so very fond of them that he adorns himself with pot lids and big buttons in the vain hope of deceiving somebody in- to thinking they're medals. Poor little mannie! RETTIA KERRENS Reety is too quiet to let us know anything of her past except that she has been to a picture show twice. As for her present, we can only say that she is our class secre- tary and treasurer, and her future lies in the path of a country school ma'am. Fifteen .- ,..... ... .. .-,... - ...

XYhen she awakens, the narrative will be continued. LLOYD HAZICN Lloyd has wandered rather vague- ly about, his only regular procedure being to go periodically to Alnoret to see-'just to see an Oval. N0 wonder he is so fond of drawing ovals in art. Our deepest sympathy to her, Lloyd. ANNA MA IC BURTON Anna Mae has shown herself to be a most earnest student of frolics. She has learned the tricks of that trade to perfection with Eva and XVinnie to coach her. , . ., , .. ,, . . .- .. ,...,,...-,e,-e:...:-.1 -,,,.,-.q,.M.-...,-,.-Q-.,,,.:,,......,.,...,..,,,..,,,,-:.,....... age., J., ..,..,.- Y.: ...i J...-au.

Zrltnwa The following was taken from The Kansas City Times soon after the Senior Class Day: Excitement ran high around the square in Butler the other day when the re- port came in that a band of gypsies were coming into town. Soon an old covered wagon drawn by a pair of wind-broken horses, appeared on the public square. The wagon was filled with about the prettiest gypsy girls that ever appeared there, the Times says. Stores were neglected, while the men poured outdoors to have their for- tunes told. But the secret came out when one of the girls exclaimed: 'Why, father, how foolish you're actingl' It was the 1917 class of the High School celebrating its class day. mhg me are lgrnuh nf QD111' Gilman As graduation time draws near and we Seniors look back at our high school work, we are proud of our accomplishments, especially for this year. We have been very busy most of the time this year. The biggest undertaking was our carnival. We worked hard for three or four weeks trying to prepare things so that it would be a success, and when Saturday night, Nov. 8, 1916, came, we found that we had been well paid for our labors. We bought a baloptican with the proceeds of the carnival and gave it to the school. We hope that it may be a great help to the students and the school. The first of March we had our class day. We prepared a gypsy programme and dressed as gypsies. A large number of visitors attended our programme and all seem- ed to enjoy it. Each year we have had our class day. When we were Freshies we had a mixed programme. When we were Sophs we had a St. Patrick's programme. In our Junior year we gave a Japanese programme and in our Senior year we gave a gypsy programme. We have always had a party on class day. This year and last we had a line party and when we had our St. Patrick's class day we had a St. Patrick's party at night. We are proud of what we have done, but we wish that we could have done more. When we fully realize that our last year in High School is nearing a close, there is just a tiny bit of sadness way down in our hearts. We shall always feel the ties of B. H. S. drawing us back to our much-beloved school. Srninr Statiztira Average head measure tbefore testi ....... , , , 36 in. Average head measure fatter testj ......... , 5 in.

EH. Sv. The heights by great men reached and kept, Were not attained by sudden flight, But they, while their companions slept, , Were toiling upward in the night. V A I'm a famous authoress. Realizing this and hoping to inform the world of my importance, I shall attempt to write a history of my life, for no one else will. To begin with, I was born. in the Ozarks so long ago I can scarcely remember the incident. Here I spent the first few months of my existence in amusing those around me by crying for everything I wanted. I knew that this was the best way to get things, besides it develops character. Since I was going to be a famous writer, I must have lots of character, so I cried. When I became older I spent most of my time out of doors. I grew to love the hills and rocks which were the only beauty the Ozarks could boast of. 0 Besides, I knew that all the best writers are great. lovers of nature. So I studied. this great piece of Godfs handiwork. ' When I was three years old, my family moved to a small village near New York. This was an ideal place for a writer to grow up. First, there were the 'beauties of nature. Second, there was so much news. Every one knew every one else's affairs and told them over his b-ackyard fence. This was nice for me. When I heard any- thing real interesting, I said to myself, I'll uselthat in my first story. When I was ive years old I was sent to school. Now my literary career had be- gun. The teacher, a man who had enough sense to know a genius when he saw one, took great pains with me. In a few days I made my debut into literary work. I wrote my first sentence, I see a cat. From that time on I made great progress, and I soon read Jack and Jill by myself. When I was seven years of age a sad incident crept into ,my life. I was disap- pointed in love. This is how it came about. One morning I was walking to school, pondering upon the serious problem of being a celebrity. Suddenly I heard footsteps behind me. . Turning, I beheld a facet I never forgot. It was the face of a boy of nine years of age. I saw a charming face crowned with a glorious thatch of red hair. Two eyes, almost green, gazed frankly from out a multitude of freckles. Hello, he said, and his mouth resembled a garden fence with a gate missing. Hello, I managed to say. Where are you going? I'm going to school, he said. Let me carry your books. . , When we reached school the girls all looked at me with envy. But I didn't care, he was mine. I was disappointed in this idea. The next morning as I was going to school I saw something that shattered my dreams. There he was, carrying the books belonging to the ugly, pug-nose, Mary Jane. Then I cried. He didn't care for me any more. I'd show him. Just wait until I became famous. Then he'd be sorry he ever looked at that little fool. About two years later I wrote my first poem. This is the way it begins: I wish I was a possum, I'd live in a high Oak tree, And get a Mrs. Possum To come and live with me. It was great, glorious. Pa and Ma said so, and they knew, for they were well edu? cated. Pa read it slowly and said, Mary, that 'er gal is a genus or I ain t any Jedge. Then Ma said, Yes, Pa, she takes after my folks. A Mary I tell you. we must educate that gal. She's been goin' to that 'er one-hos-s school too liong now. Any one as smart as our darter oughter be in college. Yes, Pa, we'll send her to Butler High School. B tl . Th' was a beautiful town, and the High School Was as laipglea 12.33 Eiiqrectiifo 01? iii firstls day Of School the Drinclpal Saud t0 my father, Where's her diploma? U Her diplomY, roared father.

When he read it he looked VVith this he placed my poem before the principa rather queer and said, You are right, she doesn't need a diploma. She's too smart for a Freshman, so I'1l make her a Junior. Then I was taken to a room where a lot of boys and girls were seated. Here I stayed until a bell rang. Then I went upstairs to the English room. Here I saw a very stern young lady whom I knew to be the teacher. Presently she said, Now, kids, you have only two minutes in which to write a ten page story. At the end of that time you must have your papers in. Every one moaned but me. I took my pen and wrote. I wove in the beauties of the Ozarks and the splendor of the New York village. I crammed in the gossip of the neighbors and the sadness of love. I mixed them and sifted them thoroughly. I took them apart and put them together again. Then I had an inspiration. Some- thing snapped in my brain. My pen moved of its own accord. Soon before me was my master-piece, a story full of hills, valleys, gossip and love. They read it eagerly. They took it to the printers and had it published. It was read in thousands of homes. The world went crazy over its merits. At last its popularity became so great the book stores advertised in this manner: The Broken Heart, six copies for twenty-live cents. My triumph was complete. RUTH PRICE, '18. 'hr ighantnnu, Hrrgil Ah that phantom! Ah that phantom, Vvlll he haunt me to my grave? Why will not the great God save me, From this ghastly phantom save! In my slumbers, ln my dreaming, How it haunts with glary eyes! How upon me he stands staring With those ghastly glary eyes! First translation now in scanslon, In this form he doth pursue, Till methinks I shall run mad be, Here I pay him homage due. Ah thou phantom, phantom Vergll, Wilt thou not leave me at peace? Think'st thou not that I am human? Cease thy nagging, cease it, cease! But at midnight, ah, at midnight As I vainly seek sweet sleep, This foul spectre comes a-gliding, Knowing soon my life he'll reap. Soon he'll reap it, soon he'll reap it, S0 be wary of my friend, Lest ye, too, should fall a victim To this ghastly phantom, friend. BULLOCK, '1S.

This has been a record year in Butler High School -along all lines of activity,.but one of the organizations of which we are very proud .is the Debate Club, organized under the direction of S. E. Gibson, the assistant principal of the High School. There are twenty-two members of the club, of whom only four are girls. Of course it is not generally supposed that girls will become as eloquent in debating as the boys are, but it is certain that practice in argumentation is most beneficial to any- one. It is hoped that next year a larger number of students will avail themselves of the opportunity of joining the club. In addition to the knowledge to be gained concerning the technique of debating, there are many benefits to be derived. The whole purpose of our school activities should be to at ourselves more fully for our positions in life after school days are over. Through the practice of debating, we learn to speak extemporaneously, that is, to think on the floor, and not only that, but we learn to express our thoughts in the lnost forceful manner possible. This experience will be of great value at all times when we are called upon to express our views on some subject, for then, thanks to our Debate Club training, we will not be at a. loss what to say and how to say it. Also, through the Club, we gain information on many things about which we knew little or nothing, and having considered both sides of a question, we are more broad-minded and tolerant. Since this is the first year in which we have taken part in High School debating activities, we are very proud of the record of the team which the club chose to repre- sent Butler in the Inter-High School Debates. Francis Godwin and Carroll Zwahlen upheld the negative side of the question: Resolved, That the federal government should own and operate the railroads in the U. S., in all the debates in which Butler participated. Our first debate was an ea.sy victory over Nevada, and in the second contest we won over Webb City. But at Carthage we met our Waterloo for this year. Our defeat has not disheartened us, and we expect to be in the ring next year, with full force and a determination to win. The members of the club are cer- tain that a great part of the team's success was due to Mr. Gibson's untiring efforts as coach for the debates. Also, the support given by the High School as a whole en- couraged the team to do its best. Besides the Railroad question, we have debated several others. These are: Resolved, That capital punishment should be abolished, and Resolved, That the Philippine Islands should be given their independence, and Resolved, That the U. S.

As our club belongs to the State Debate League, we have secured the use of material on these questions from the Missouri Travelling Library at Columbia. So that some members of the club, besides the regular team, might receive the benefit of debating with persons other than their fellow club members, a debate was arranged with Tripp School, south of town. At that debate Clyde Borland, Eugene Hartrick, Charles Kiersey, and Carrie Harper represented the club and defended the negative side of the Philippine question, winning the decision of the judges. In conclusion, let it be said in all honesty, that no student who works enthusias- tically in the club can be sorry that he belongs to such an organization, for its bene- fits cannot be over-estimated.

Hiuair in El. TH. Sv. This department of B. H. S. is one that is very important. Our representatives are both seen and heard. In fact, the music classes this year are inclined to be a rather noisy bunch, It is no wonder, however, for their competent little teacher, Miss Adams, although she is not very fierce, would very much rather that Every one sing, please. She is very accommodating, however, for if some one just can't sing but will try as faithfully as possible, Miss Adams will do her part. The music department does not consist solely of the music classes. We have organized from the student body a chorus which meets once a week for practice, also a mixed quartette, and orchestra. In chorus practice songs such as Home to Our Mountains from Il Trovatore, and Hail to the Heroes from Aida. At chorus practice we learn songs from our chapel books and then are able to lead, when they are sung in chapel. The quartette has entertained us in chapel with Farewell, Summer, which we enjoyed very much. The quartette also sang once at the Citizens-Teachers meeting. These students have received their training in the music department of B. H. S. and we think it speaks well for the efficiency of the department. Our orchestra has been one of the most important organizations in school. It has entertained us in chapel, Citizen-Teachers meetings, church, and many other places. This orchestra work has provided practice for a great many boys who could not have had such good practice elsewhere. Of late, since the people have become particularly patriotic, the pupils in the study halls-have been thrilled with the beautiful strains of The Star Spangled Ban- ner, coming from the music room. We are really learning our national hymn and if the music classes succeed in making us entirely familiar with it, they have done our portion of the young people of the country a great amount of good. In fact, we are enthusiastic about the whole music department of B. H. S. and we feel that school would be very dull and uninteresting if we tried to get along without it.

F Bvniarhrr Hvrvin l The first German club of Butler High School was organized this year, under Miss Rice's supervision. The club was organized and the officers elected the first week of February, 1917. The name, Deutscher Verein, was adopted for the club. The of- ficers of the club are: John Dykman, president: Juanita Holloway, vice-presidentg Katie Harp, reporter, and Charles Pollard, secretary and treasurer. The lirst 'meeting of Deutscher Verein was held February 9, 1917. The pro- gram at this meeting consisted of the adoption of the Constitution,'several songs by the club, a paper, duet, games and refreshments. A This meeting, as well as the follow- ing ones, was held in B. H. S. study-hall. The meetings -are held every two weeks on Tuesday night. The program at these meetings commences at 7:30 o'clock and lasts. until 9 o'c1ock. Visitorstare al- lowed on certain evenings. The purpose of Deutscher Verein is to give the pupils better understanding of the German language As only German is spoken at the a . . . meetings of the club, the members become more adept in speakingand understanding German. Membership 1n the club is easily obtained, as the only quali cation or admittance is a fair knowledge of German. Enough German ma.y be learned in one year's study in any high school to admit one to the club. Each member is assessed five cents for every meeting, whether he be present- or . R. not. The members' dues buy refreshments and the necessities of the club. Miss ice, guardian is present at all our meetings. When Miss Rice was sick with scarlet fever 5 we had no meeting and our dues went for flowers for her. Toward the end of the year Deutscher Verein gave a German play. Any one who would come was welcome. Town PC0919 and DUDUS W110 didI1't b010I1g 'CO the club were invited. The members of Deutscher Verein voted to get pins.

' ' Athlvtira Eaakrthall 1915-'17 The outlook for basketball at the beginning of the season was dark. The boys were handicapped by the graduation of two able players of last year's team and the girls had lost three in the same way. But under the supervision of Mr. Gorrell and Miss Rice, the teams quickly developed into fast, snappy squads. The season opened with a double victory over Rich Hill on our home court, both teams showing plenty of pep and ability. After the Rich Hill games both teams improved rapidly and swept everything before them until they crashed with the Appleton City team on the opponent's court. The boys' team was de- feated by a large score but the girls won a decided victory. The boys took their defeat cheerfully and returned home with hopes of getting even in the return game. In the meantime we came in contact with no teams that could withstand the onslaught of Butler's basketeers, Hume being included in this mad rush. Finally the time came for Butler to prove its superiority over the Appleton teams. On the night of jan. 19, after our girls had easily defeated the Appleton City girls, the boys clashed in a hard-fought battle. The outcome of this game was in doubt until the latter part of the last half, when our boys forged ahead and won a brilliant victory. Butler then visited Nevada and both teams lost, as has been the case in former games with Nevada. But our spirits were not to be crushed and in the return game the boys defeated Nevada for the first time in the history of the school. T The championship of Bates County now lay between Hume and Butler, each team having obtained one victory over the other. In a cramped court at Rich Hill the teams fought for the championship. With the crowd lining the sides of the court and a not overly fair referee we were nosed out. On March 8 the boys' team departed for Warrensburg to take part in the Annual Basketball Tournament. Although they did not win the Tournament they reflected no discredit upon Butler High School. At the close of the season the boys possessed the enviable record of not hav- ing lost a game on the home court throughout the season. Our record for the year stood as follows: Boys, won 7, lost 45 Girls, won 6, lost 3. WALTER E. WILLIAMS, 'l8.

' i 1 ty-ei First in the minds of the members of the Butler High School Basketball Team is unity and fair play. lf the team is victorious. the laurels are be- stowed upon the team as a whole and not upon any individual player. However, we prefer the willow to victory by foul means. To consider the players indi- vidually, foremost in our ranks is our captain and forward. George Hupp. A better for- ward cannot be found in Bates County. and he. as captain. is constantly on the lookout for the welfare of the team. Not far behind our captain in play- ing ability are our forwards. Seba jackson and john Dykaa man. Both are clean and fast forwards, who have done splen- did work throughout the entire season. Yes. slightly elongated are our centers. Price and Bul- lock. but that is what it takes to make good centers, and if aught is lacking in science it is given in effort. Our guards. David Thompson and Harvey Hensley. are truly what the name implies. Their defense is so effective that it takes more than the average forward to make a showing when up against them. Notwithstanding the quality of the team. we owe a great part of our success to our coach and principal, Nlr.Gorf rell, who has given much of his energy and time toward the making of the winning team that the B.

There is a prospect for some star players from this Freshman class when the members reassemble next year. Josephine Voris did some excellent playing, using the dribble and overhead shot to perfection. Edith Ellis covers more ground and covers it bet- ter than any side center of her experience, while Lola Smith is the only guard outside of Nevada that has kept up with Juanita. When the score was counted it was found that the Freshmen had won. This made the Freshmen and juniors jubilant in the extreme because they had each won a cup as a trophy. ' - MARTZ, 'l8. C5112 Ursula Butler High School at last has shown that it can maintain a track team. Last year Mr. Denton of the People's Bank offered a silver loving cup to be given to the winners of the inter-society track meet. The Alpha Sigmas won the cup but the action did not stop here. The boys had gotten the call of the track and field in their systems, so they decided to try in the county meet. Adrian was the only other school in the county that boasted of a track team, so this team was the one we had to fight. Adrian had had experience on the track for several years, but nevertheless our boys were confident of winning when Adrian came to Butler on May 1.7. The score was nip and tuck all the way through. Adrian took all the firsts on the races but we held them on the field events. The high jump was the last event. We took first in this and tied for second place. Adrian refused to jump the tie off and the judges gave us the decision, making us the winners by two points. On May 19 we went to Adrian to return the favor. The score ran almost as even in this meet as in the one at home, but the Adrian boys seemed to be more at home on their own field and dropped a few of the second places we had won at home, to thirds. When the score was counted at the close, Adrian was six points ahead. F , As school was near an end this was the last meet we held. The boys are not at all ashamed of the record they made and have high hopes for this year. Track Team. Clyde E. Borland, Capt., 100 yards, broad jump, 220 yards and 440 yards.

For instance, there was the funeral of the Delta Kappa Society. The Alpha Sigmas remained in silence while the casket, draped in the Delta Kappa colors, was carried into the room. The casket was followed by a number of mourners. An eloquent oration was given by Francis Godwin. Then an appropriate song, O Happy Day, was sung. Much grief was shown by the mourners and tears were wrung by pints from the great red bandanna handkerchief carried by one of the mourners. Some members, however, that we fear were not very sincere in their grief, declared that the handkerchief had been previously soaked in water. Be that as it may, the program was thoroughly enjoyed by all present. ' . T Some very good musical numbers were given at different programs and there have also been good readings, jokes, and other interesting features. There are several members of the Alpha Sigma Literary Society who debate very well. Both members of the High School Debate Team are Alpha Sigmas and others of our society belong to the Debate Club. T Then, too, Homer Martz, the Alpha Sigma boy representative in the,High School,Declamatory Contest, won Hrst place and represented .us in the County Contest, winning first place. This means that he will be our representative at Warrensburg. F All of the members of this society are very proud of the silver loving cup given us by the People's Bank last year for track work. All who belong to the society are enthusiastic, and are proud of it. 03112 nfllbur lirngranm April 6, 1917. - Dialogue .... I ..... t ......... ..................

Every speaker gave his or her speech in a pleasing and interesting manner. Doris Denton won first place over Ruth Wyatt and Leatha Baird and Homer Martz won over Logan Price. The contestants were dividcd equally between the Delta Kappa and the Alpha Sigma societies, Doris Denton representing the Delta Kappas and Homer Martz the Alpha Sigmas. - In the County Contest, which was held in Butlerfthere was only one other high school besides Butler represented. Hume brought over a boy and a girl contestant. We were confident that our two declamers would win the contest. DoriseDe3'1ton, giving The Convict's Christmas Eve, spoke extraordinarily well and all of Butler's rooters thought that she won easily, but the judges were the ones who decided. They thought that the Hume girl deserved first place, so we lost in the girls' contest. - ' But we were not to be disappointed altogether. Homer Martz won first place in the boys' contest and will not only represent B. H. S. butalso Bates County at Warrensburg. He spoke The Puzzled Dutchman well andgave many good imi- tations, which were pleasing to his audience. We feltthat we got our share of the spoils but we wanted to carry off all the honors. First place at Warrensburg is our goalnow, and we expect a great deal of the representatives of Bates County. WALTER E. w1LL1AMs, '18, Sixty-three 1-QA.

Two years ago it was suggested that we should try student government in our school. Some people thought it would be a failure because they did not think the students would co--operate and make the attempt a success. We were asked to hand our names to our section room teachers if we wished to be under student government. Nearly every one handed in his name at the beginning. Before long most of the others who hadn't handed in their names were under student's rule. Each class elected its two representatives, who were to meet with the other representatives and advise and suggest concerning the conduct of pupils. Study hall monitors were elected by the students, whose duty it was to take the roll and look after the study hall in general. We have found that government by pupils is a good thing and we are proud of the fact that we have tried it and have made a success of it. Since we adopted student government our school has become more widely known and this has come about because ot' our system of student government. We have had visitors from neighboring schools who wanted to see how the sysa- tem worked out and these visitors seemed to think the results were splendid. We are glad to have other schools interested in this plan. We have tried student government and have proved that it can be made a success if students will co- operate and work together as one unified body.

H. S. are as proud as can be of that institution, for they feel that it stands for knowledge, fellowship, and pleasure. We glory in the ef- ficiency of each department and sing aloud its praises to every passerby., Never for a moment, however, do we -think that 'all these things are due to the efforts of the students alone, though they try to uphold the good standards in Butler High School and sometimes introduce new and better plans., for their school.- A great portion-a very great portion of the good features of Butler High School -is due to the unfailing interest manifested .by alumni., Whenia new move- ment is on foot, the alumni, are first' to push itpforward for-the good of the school. Much is often gained by the alumni which could not be obtained by the 'students themselves. Perhaps the following messagetypilies the spirit ofthe alumni better than we of the High School could express it,'so'it is gladlyreproduced: TO OUR FIRST LOVE, BUTLER HIGH: Butler High School, still we love you. .We love your comradeship.

Like a monster, supine, lifeless, basking in the torrid rays of the fiery disc in the sky above, it lay. A world-old mystery seemed to permeate its sands, a vague oppressive sense of some occult, mystic force, an echo from the ages of centuries ago. .. But like all other deserts this one also had an oasis. In the midst of the burning sands, like a solitary emerald in a setting of rough gold, therenestled a little green clump of trees and grass watered by a trickling diminutive spring. Here, in a tiny hut, dwelt the hermit of the desert. Whence he came or who he was no one knew. Silent, solitary, he lived his life alone, seeing no one, speak- ing to no one, perhaps for months. His favorite occupation was to sit by the little spring, piously poring over his prayer bookor more frequently losing him- self in meditation, his lean, ascetic features taking on an expression of somber thought as his eyes would stare across the vast sands. ig . It is thus we find him sitting at the end of a blazing hot dayf Suddenly his vacant,staring gives way and he springs to his feet with a puzzled expression on his face. Peering from beneath his shadowing hand he sees two objects ap- proaching his dwelling, Reeling, staggering, step by step they come nearer and as he goes to meet them he discovers them to be a man and a woman. Grimy, dusty, and with the terror of the desert in her eyes, the woman lurches toward him. Water! Water! is all that comes from her parched, blackened lips. The man, crazed by his sufferings, is incoherently babbling of cool rivers, beautiful flowers and green meadows that are to be seen before himf only just out of his reach. T ' ' The hermit does not offer to help them. He only stares at the womanas if she were an apparition, his mystic eyes taking on 'an expression of mingled love, hate and terror. Yes, it is she, she who had spurned him because he was poor, choosing instead the glittering show of riches offered by a more favored rival. In vain had been their search for a wealth-bought paradise on earth and now they stood tottering before him, having just come out of the terrible grip of the relentless desert. I i Even as he gazed wildly upon her his spirit again filled with the bitter hatred of mankind she had caused him to feel and which he so hard had tried to stifle in his own solitary existence. Through the red mist that clouded his eyes he ' Sixty-seven Ellyn ihvriuit nf Thr iBvavrt-Olnntinurh could see that she was still lovely. Oh, how he both loved and hated her! Then ran that terrible thought through his brain. Why should he give them water? An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. His life was a living death. Why not leave them to the mercies of the desert? lt would tell no tales, its eternal sands would take revenge for his life's ruin. Then with a shuddering groan he sprang to fetch water, for like a flaming picture in his mind he saw the words of the Master whom he had learned to love so well: Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.' ' As the lost travelers revived he was relieved to find that the woman did not recognize him in his long beard and quaint garb. He showed them where to rest and then sought to welcome sleep himself. But old memories ever rose up to haunt him and the terrible desire to take revenge came to him stronger and stronger. All night he wrestled in agony with the demon that tried to seduce him, but as the gray dawn broke over the yellow sands he finally won, though spent and worn. After a long rest the travelers were given a compass and ample provisions to take them out of the desert. As the moment for leaving came, the hermit es- corted them to the door and, pausing on the threshold, spread his pious hands over their heads and reverently blessed them. God bless you, my children, were his last words as they stepped out into the silent dusk spreading over the barren sands. joyously they went on their way to a better morrow, leaving behind them a man, young in years but old in spirit, whose frame was racked by dry sobs and whose soul was filled with the bitter loneliness of the desert.

The injustice of the world bore heavily upon him and he felt as though his last friend had deserted him. It's not fair! It's not fair! he roared, as he threw sticks at the chickens. They always let the girls have anything they want, but when I want anything, why, that's different. - . You see Tommy had an older sister and he considered that the very worst calamity which could ever befall anyone. Tommy, however, made the best of things and continually teased her. Of course she resentednthis and complained to her mother. So this was the state of affairs in the Walters home. That very morning Tommyhad asked his mother's permission to invite some boys to his home on Friday night. Gertrude fthat was his sisterj had immediately exclaim- ed, No, you can't, because I'm going to have my friends here and mother has already promised me, so there. And Gertrude turned up her nose and marched triumphantly away. But, mother, you promised me the other time she had a party that if I didn't bother, I might invite my friends here any time I chose, and now Gertrude wants to have another party. I won't stand for it! And Tommy stamped his foot angrily. I But, Tommy, his mother had interrupted gently, you may invite the boys here some other time. Your sister is older and so you must give up to her. So now run away, for we shall be very busy today. F Tommy had marched to the door, opened it, walked out and shut the door again with a bang. Then he had sought his favorite refuge, the hollow sycamore tree in the barn lot. And now, as he sat there, he meditated over his many wrongs. I I'll get even with 'em, see if I don't! he muttered. Then he crept from his hiding place and departed for the home of his friend, William Watson, called Billy by his friends. He found Billy busily engaged piling wood in the wood- house. ' I Hi, Tom, what's the matter? Billy inquired curiously as Tommy came within hailing distance. p I've been wronged and I'll have my revenge! e'Tommy muttered fiercely. tHe had recently been reading some dramatic novels.J Q!7iA All right, I'll help you. What they been a-doin' to you now With many gestures and much emphasis Tommy told his grievance. Billy listened sympathetically and then said, , Now, what we have to do is to think of something to pay 'em back. Well, I have it, and he quickly outlined his plan to Tommy. , We'1l do it! shouted that delighted individual, dancing wildly about. And we've got three days to do it in, he finished. Let's begin right now. Come on l So the two boys started off to secure the instruments of revenge. si xty-nin .---. ... ..- -.- ---..-.-. .............-4---.. -1---5:ga-fsres:-zz-3,gf-:as-af:-tar.:-sag-'31-1-+'s-Lsrsaerf-e-A+'areaasassaseqe-'E-is-is-at-49+rs'9Laa24afsaas-ver:.wzasw-an Enntntykt ilirurngv-Clinniinurh Friday morning dawned warm and beautiful. lt was a midsummer day. Gertrude and her mother worked busily all day and by evening the house was in perfect order. Then they decorated the house with beautiful plants and flow- ers. Tommy had said nothing more about the party and Mrs. Walters confided to Gertrude that Tommy was getting to be a little gentleman. Gertrude had sniffed disdainfully and said she didn't see much improvement. After an early supper Gertrude disappeared upstairs to get ready for the party and to sit before the glass and admire herself for an hour or two. Nlrs. Walters was busy, consequently she didn't notice the absence of Tommy. Never- theless, Tommy was not present. The guests began to arrive early and soon there was a merry crowd in the big parlor. After a while couples began to find seats in secluded places. The cozy corners behind the palms afforded ideal places for tete-a-tetes. A certain young gentleman and a certain young lady found themselves in one of these ideal places. The young lady suddenly felt a light touch on her hand and blush- ingly murmured Oh, for she thought it was the hand of the young gentleman. The touch became a pinch and looking down she- Ouch ! she screamed, hastily arising and rushing out into the room. For on her hand was a big black beetle. just then were heard answering screams of fright and dismay from all directions. Young ladies shook their hands wildly about and ran frantically here and there. The room was literally filled with buzzing, pinching, stinging and crawling bugs and insects. There were moths, grasshoppers, crickets, june bugs, lady bugs, and innumerable other sorts of bugs. Gertrude was frantic with anger and fright. Mother, mother, how in the world did all those things get in here! she wildly exclaimed. l'm sure l haven't any idea, her mother returned with a worried look on her face. Then suddenly she asked, Where's Tommy? Why, yes, where is Tommy? Gertrude repeated. And then it suddenly dawned upon their bewildered minds that Tommy, who always loved excitement, had been missing during the whole commotion. l think I can find him, Mrs. Walters said and walked quietly out to the sycamore tree. Looking cautiously in, she beheld the object of her search. But he was not alone. Billy was there also. The boys were seated on the ground with a large ice cream freezer between them. Both were armed with large spoons and were eating the contents of the freezer with great satisfaction, only stop- ping occasionally to take a piece of cake from the plate on the ground. just then Tommy swallowed a huge spoonful of ice cream and said contentedly, Re- venge is Sweetie HELEN L.
