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 ......... ..................

Elly? Citnttra fm' tljv Emitting Qlup-Qinntitturh riot. This game proved to be the fastest game of the season. Some excellent play- ing was done and a strong girls' team for next year is assured. 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.
