N Nineteen eninr Zliarewnll Three years and several months ago, our parents sent forth to Butler High School a new class, saturated in ignorance and dedicated to the proposition that all people should receive an education. Now we are engaged in our last year's work, testing whether that class or any class, so conceived and so dedicated, can reach the goal. We are met at the successful conclusion of that year. We have come to reflect upon. a portion of that time that you, the under-classmen, 1nay honor those of us who here worked and struggled that this class might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that you should do this. But, in a larger sense, you cannot sufficiently appreciate, you canno-t commemor- ate, you cannot honor this class. The brave ones, present and gone, who struggled here have commemorated it far above your poor power to add or detract. This school will find little note, nor long remember what you say here, but it can never -forget what we did here. 1 ' A It is for you, the remaining pupils, to be here dedicated to the unfinished work which we, who fought here, have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for you to be here dedicated to the great -task remaining before you that from we honored ones now departing, you take increased devotion to that cause for which we gave our last full measure of devotion, that you were highly resolved that this class shall not have striven in vain, and that this faculty, under God, shall have a new birth of freedomg and that this government, of the students, by the students, and for the students, shall not perish from the school. Vlith apologies to Mr. Lincoln. . , EDITH WALKER '18. - We, the Seniors almost frantic Our importance most gigantic, Though our teachers in hard work steep us In fun and frolic We often keep us. Senior stunts are always cunning, - Senior girls are all most stunning, Senior books are oft neglected, Seniors do the unexpected. VVhen Commencement time draws nearer Then to us our school grows dearer, Yet there'd be much less of grieving VVere it not for Senior's leaving. -PEARL WALKER '18, Twenty ,l 'Wi 100' ' 1 '., , .A , 4V.

And Coonrod said unto all these people, 'Thus saith Henderson, the Super- intendent of school of Butler, 'Gather thyselves together in the auditorium and tl1CrC thou shalt inherit the land of thy prede.cessor'.'-'- j - And the people said unto Henderson, Laura Fenton shall be our leader and her voice we will obey. ' So Miss Fenton made a covenant with the people that day, and set them a stature and an .ordinance and caused 'them to be called Freshmen, for a time of one year. . . U And it came to pass that they grew in wisdom and waxed great among the Soph- omores, and the Juniors and the Seniors, such that no class might rise up againstpthem. And the thing pleased the Freshmen and they cried unto. Miss Fenton saying, There- fore let us now prepare and set aside a day for feasting, and establish unto ourselves a class day. And the Sophomores and the Juniors' and the Seniors all marvelled and wor- shipped them saying, NVhat is there like unto this class, who is, able to stanfd up against her? - And Miss Fenton called together all the Freshmen and said unto them, s6WCll done, thou 'good and faithful servants, Ye have kept all my commandments and obeyed my voice in all that I commanded you, enter ye therefore into the land of thy heritage. Let not your name be Freshmen, but Sophomores which is in the Paraguain tongue exalted. Then the children of Miss Fenton cried in a loud voice, and rejoiced exceedingly, even as. the Seniors who were freed from bon-dage. And the thing pleased them ex- ceedingly and they departed unto their homes for a term of three months. Now in the ninth month of the fourth year of President Wilson, Henderson is- sued a decree, throughout all the land ordering all minors desiring knowledge to as- semble themselves into the Butler High School on the first Monday of the ninth month, and present themselves a living sacrifice unto Gorrell. And there gathered to- gether the Seniors and the Juniors and the Freshmen and among them were the Soph- omores who were the chosen of Miss Fenton. H H Now the Sophomores gathered together and formed a covenant among themselves saying, VVe will choose for ourselves a president and a leader and make of our class a strong people even as the juniors and the Seniors, and many that were before themf' And it came to pass that Emma J. Wix was their president and they waxed great in the presence of Miss Fenton. And so it was that the Sophomores drank freely from the fountain of knowledge and the faculty marvelled exceedingly, saying among them'- selves, VVhence comes this wisdom, who is there among us thatis able to interpret the source of this canned intellect? , ., And in these days, 'as it Were, Miss Fenton called together the Sophomores and taught them, saying, Behold, I bring you tidings of great joy, for unto you this day a name is given and from you a class is formed. Let notyour hearts be heavy, or your countenance sad, for you are given this day the name of Juniors and are worthy of the same-depart in peace. And they went straight unto their homes. Now after the departure of Miss Fenton it came to pass that the School Board spoke unto Miss Gorman saying, Miss Fenton hath departed, now therefore arise, go Thirty 1, .em-.,..,.11,,,2.,.,,..,.5,,L.,e,1.f.?,-,,,F.a,,..15s5.3q-5.5 -, Lasmfzs-V-.-,Qf.:,,m-.y.-.H-.2-as ffm:-,s-s-.-2-,1e:s:::.wfzf-.-:e aff- , 5-f'-:f --rf -' 2- ::- -1-- ,- fn I -- 1-L 'f' l' ' 'I'?' -'it iE'i?'F'F5!'1 t'!1f 2?5ti:?'i'3:2i?: 5':'Y':'2 E? -4-'f:':' 'rr' '57 Qistnrg nf 132 Zluninrs-dlnntinueh. over into the city of Butler and minister unto the Juniors there. And Miss Gorman Spoke unto the juniors saying, This day will I begin to magnify thee in the sight of all the school that they may know that I am your teacher. And it came to pass within a while after, that the juniors gathered themselves to- gether in Butler and chose for themselves Ruth Wyatt as their president. Now Ruth was a good president and followed in the path of her predecessor. And it came to pass in the second month of her reign- thatjshecalled together all the juniors and spake unto them in a loud Voice saying, Empty thy pocketbooks, draw forth thy bank accounts and gather together all the precious gifts fandwe will set Fern Harper upon a throne as carnival queen in the presence of the Seniors and the Sophoinorcs and the Freshmen. I A ' And it came to pass even as Ruth 'had said and Fern did sit upon a throne in the presence of the Seniors and the Juniors and the Sophomores and Freshmen. And thc whole school trembled at the power of the Juniors. The frail were dumb and the bravest spake in whispers saying, Who is there like unto this great class, who is able to make war against llCl'?T, And everyonemarvelled iexceedingly. Now there arose amonglthe juniors a prophet who was given all wisdom even as Roosevelt. And his name was Sherman Moore and he ranked high among the de- baters and the wise men of Butler, but his days had not yet come. And it came to pass that the time drew niglrthat the Juniors should again be promoted into a promised land and many trembledilest they should not be among, the chosen, but they continued to advance and press onward toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of wisdom.

Then an official order was issued tha.t we must report'for duty the following Monday morning, When we reported, we were delighted to find Colonel Ficklin in command of our regiment. The assembly call was sounded one afternoon. When all had come to attention, our officers were chosen. VVith our splendid colonel urging us constantly to fight hard, we were soon striving to conquer in the War of Making Grades. The first trench to be captured was the Pennantq After a great deal of liard fighting and after several fiercely fought battles, we won the trench called The Cup. When spring came, about a dozen soldiers were transferred to another branch of the service. The regiment was granted a longer rest period than usual, one day :hiring the spring. We spent this with outdoor sports. Joining forces with the Juniors soldiers in the evening, we hiked to a woods just outside the town, and had an enjoy- able weenie roast. A short time after this after nine months intensive training, the order was given to breakuranks. All were granted three months furlough. When our furloughs were up, we reported for duty again. We were assigned to Regiment Two, for we were now Sophomores. Our former Colonel had been de- tailed to another field of service. We resumed our smiling, however, when we saw Our new officers. Colonel Rice and Lieutenant Colonel Moore were in command of our two armies. We soon elected our officers: First Lieutenant, Leeperg Second Lieu- tenant, Genchg Clerk and Paymaster, Larson, Correspondent, 'Maddox. Although some of our soldiers were wounded by textbook bombs and zero shrapenels, our Red Cross nurses, the teachers, showed great skill in aiding the injured. A few, who were hit too many times by the zero shrapnels, were left behind the regiment when it went over the top. V V . We spent Halloween night in aiding the Y. M. C. A. in cheering up the Senior Soldiers. All were camouflaged when they came to the Y. M. C. A. hut. The Senior soldiers were the veterans because for over three years they had carried on the War, and had won many decisive battles because of their courage. The Sophomore Soldiers are now preparing for the spring drive for they are expecting many hard fought battles to hold at least. The Cup. So, carry on, brave Sophomores! Carry on!

And Miss Johnson gathered the little '2Is' about her and began: Once upon a time a great number of children came together from all parts of vast realm into a little kingdom, where they were watched over by a Good Fairy. They were not all acquaint- ed, but there was a certain way about them that showed they were Of the Sami' kingdom. Close by the kingdom of the Good Fairy, were the domains of a rival Fairy who had wicked little elves and goblins to run about doing mischief and tormenting the :hildren of the Good Fairy. They were always laughing and making faces at them. Yet in spite of this the Good Fairy taught the children many pleasant things and they were very happy in their new home. V Altho these children had a great deal of pleasure, there were also a few tasks as- signed to them. To a few of the lazier children these grew 'irksome and they went home, little dreaming of the many good things they had missed. Some of these tasks were quite difficult but by the help of the Good Fairy and her assistants they were all accomplished. The children spent many weary hours tho searching for X Ca few have not found it yetl, and also learned a great deal about nature. Study-ing of the many children who had been before them was very interesting and also that of Well-er-it said, and things like that. i There was a large ball which they gave the children to play with and also a smaller one for the boys. They spent many hours throwing these around and were prepared to beat the elves and goblins of the neighboring kingdom in the contests that came, but some of them took sick Cas all good children doj and they had to leave the pleasure to their friends of another nearby realm. g Now it was the custom in those days that each kingdom should have a certain day to celebrate and make merry. At last the turn came for the kingdom of the Good Fairy to celebrate. Some of the children were quite talented so they chose to entertain their friends with wit and song. Many wonderful preparations were made, but alas! the gods decreed that it should rain on the day of days. So some of their plans were zhanged, but they had a good time anyway. At last the time came when they were ready to move on to another kingdom, and so We shall leave them for a while andiperhaps another time I shall tell you how the children of the Good Fairy grew up and overcame the children of the Rival Fairy. As Miss Johnson finished, one of the little '21, glanced around at his companions and said thoughtfully Uh-huh, he who laughs last laughs best, T RUTH TALBOT '21.

S. 1 Two years of existence shows increased interest in. debate work, We had ex- cellent material from which to select our teams. The work this year is being carried on very capably under the supervision of Miss Doris Jones. She it was Who, through lier judgment, her influence, and her boosting, made possible the success we have achieved. Our team for this year consists of Sherman Moore. and Clyde Borland, with Charles Keirsey as alternative. The standing question. is, Resolved: That a Federal law providing for compulsory arbitration between employer and employee is Wise and feasible. Our boys worked in earnest and with enthusiasm. It was a great day for us when the boys Won unanimously over Nevada, but they took their defeat from Clin- ton very admirably, When they held the negative side. Each one of us is alive to the possibilities of next year. Our enthusiasm is strongg and, with such a continuous development of enthusiasm and interest, we are zonfident of reaching next year the goal to which We aspire-the district Champion- ship. O. L. A.

She told us all about her trip To Sheridan, the Camp, last Week, The best of all was in that part Where of the trenches she did speak, She told us how the trench is built And now I feel I know as much As you, about the means of war, And trenches, battle lines, and such.

Their additions helped offset the loss of Merlin Fields and. Carroll Zwahlen, who volun- teered when war was declared. These boys were among the best players We had amd we miss them. ' ,Vifhen Miss Adams left, we felt that we were doomed, and that B. H. S. would have no orchestra but Miss VVood came to our rescue. Under her direction we have accomplished more than ever before. With Miss VVood as supervisor the orches- tra next year Will undoubtedly be a great success. We have played in chapel several times. The most important event at which we played was the Butler-Clinton debate. T This organization is one of the best in B. H. S. and every one who plays ainy musical instrument is urged to join. B. H.

With willing hands and dancing feet We licked all the teams that we did meet. Many times has this been sung By this said team of teams, In all the playing we did hum And as winners sure did gleam. Ruth VVyatt is our captain, t and at side center grand, She jumps up high and gets that ball out of the op- ponent's hand, Vera plays jumping center and of playing she does well, To keep your eye upon the ball is more than we can tell. Kinion plays forward at the line, and can always dodge ner guard, And if she doesn't make a goal, she tries it mighty hard. Hensley's quick and has the ball before you've time to look, Hurrah-two points for But- ler, put them in the book. Ream is at the guarding, her forward -never makes a goal, And for helping our team is valuable as gold. Price is our other guard, she is swift upon the floor, And of playing good team work, you could ask no more.

Those who returned that fateful day Entered the old school house Wfith Bumps and Mumps they went their way And struggled with the grouch. But did this army bold collapse Amid their bunged up plight. The pilot Craig and Captain Brass Drilled them throughout the night, They set forth on another day To conquer or to die. This time they went not far away Car fare was too high. But Pilot Craig, he got the mumps And so was left behind VVith all the loving petti- coats That love to chase his kind. He boarded the old Missouri P And headed for that land, The finals of the fight to see Or grasp them by the hand. His very presence did in- spire His bunch to play just right, But when he got the lov- ers cup It wouldn't hold a pint. THE GOAT. Fifty-seven TNI-5I9'51JIJI SECOND TEAM GIRLS Left to Right-Edith Ellis, Ethel M xjors, Doris Fail, Dorothy Cannon, Grace Erwin, Emma Wix Bugs: Eazkrt Ifiall 1513 Basket ball has in recent years been the chief game of the Butler High School and notwithstanding the poor equipment and many other handicaps it has alwa S Asuc- . . , e Y ceeded in putting out a team of no little strength. This year we were confronted with the same problems but upon Mr. Gorrell's obtaining the financial support of the Com- mercial Club we lost no time in getting started. L Mr. Gorrell our last year's coach, having his hands full of other work, turned the making of the team over to Mr. Craig, himself looking after the matching of the games and the numerous other duties which befall the manager. After two weeks of practice, Mr. Craig felt that we were in shape to play Rich Hill and accordingly we defeated them by a score of 61-20. The'followi'n.g game was with Amoret, on Amoret's court. The score was 44-I8 in our favor, These games afforded excellent practice for the coming Nevada game. Nevada nad always had a strong team a11d we felt that we might have some difficulty in beating them, but when the game was over the score stood 64--22, however not in Nevada's favor. Rich Hill was clamoring for a return game, so on Dec. 21st, we went down and when we started for home they were confide-nt that they were beaten. On Friday, Jan. 4th, we had-a very interesting little game of basket ball with Appleton City. We were all impressed with the playing of that gentle lad, Zink. We have always felt that we treated them too roughly. The score was 48-17. The next game on the schedule was with Nevada, and southward, aye we fled? Did somebody say that gambling on the train was forbidden? Yes, but not until after the 18th of january. For the first time in history Butler beat Nevada on the Nevada court. Never throughout the game was Nevada in the lead and the final score was 1.8---21. No doubt the tide has turned and we will be able to do it again next year. The return game from Amoret was yet to be played. At the end of the first half it was evident that something was wrong with us, A little talk from'our coach, Johnny however took some of the overconfidencc out of us and the final score was 55--9. The following Friday we defeated Archie, 75--14. J One of the hardest fought battles on our court was the game with Pleasant Hill. Vv'e succeeded in defeating them 45--28, but it took hard fighting to do it. This game :losed our season at home and the next two weeks were spent in preparation for the State Tournament at Columbia. i ' I Through a benefit picture show and a donation by the Peoples Bank we raised enough money to defray our traveling expenses and on the night of March 6th we left for Columbia. No team ever received a better send off than we did, but as luck would have, we drew Central High of Kansas City state champs in 1917. Friday afternoon at the thanks of Central High, we met defeat for the first and only time in the season. 'We will not take up space offering excuses for being so badly defeated. They were all sportsmen. and fine fellows and rightly deserve U10 title of State Champions that they are. Our career, however, was not yet ended for before we arrived home from Colum- bia we determined to enter the Second District Tournament at Vtfarrensburg, the fol- lowing Friday. Enough expense money was again raised, this time by subscription from the business men. We were off again with the hearty SUPDON Of the School- Mr, Craig was sick and unable to go with us but we were lucky enough to get MI'- Henderson in his place. ' Fifty-nine I . if Mugs Quaker mall IEIIH--Qlnntinurh I Our first game, was with Lee's Summit, Friday night. At the end of the first f or I quarter the score was 6-4 in their favor, but with a little effort we made the final l ' score 30--I4 in our favor. Our second game was with Independence and it proved to be the closest and hardest fought game of the three. One thing that went not a little lt ' way toward putting spirit into us was the presence of the crowd from home With Mf- ' Craig among its number., It was fight from begin-ning to end. At the end of the first half the score was tied and I Qplease excusel was out on account of personal fouls. But that mattered little as we had Clyde Borland to go to center. In the second half Hensley, one of our guards received a severe gash above his left eye. He received immediate attention from Dr. Allen. He went back for the last quarter and played 1111- til eliminated by personal fouls. Tilsey then went to guard and Board took Tilsey's i place at forward.

With us it is no longer an experiment. Those who were doubtful as to its success have been convinced, those who were opposed to it have been brought to see the worth of the system. This fact was shown by the attitude of the student body in a meeting, this year, whose purpose was to determine whether or not we should allow student government to remain in B. H. S. Not a voice was heard in opposition to letting it remain. If any came to the meeting for the purpose of discouraging the plan, they quickly saw that opposition on their part was useless, and that the mass of students was highly in favor of Student Government. Thus a precedent has been set for this school, which will likely continue for many years. But still, as student government now exists, it is not perfect and it is the duty of the students of next year and the years to follow to perfect it, and above all, to abserve its rulings and respect its representatives in the students senate, so that it may be made to serve the student body as it should and is capable of doing, One of the main purposes of our school education is to prepare for citizenship, and to learn how to carry the responsibilities of citizenship i-n this democracy. If I judge rightly, student government in high school has more to do with teaching those things than any one subject studied in high school. VVhen the students of high schools learn to carry the responsibilities placed upon them by student government, not only will the work in the school be more effective, but there will be a complete revolution in the civic and social affairs of our country. Therefore, I sincerely hope that the students of the coming years may fully re- alize the responsibilities that are to be placed upon them, and that they will carry these responsibilities in such a way that student government may be brought to the highest degree of perfection and efficiency.

Those students bore the distinction of being the first class to graduate from an institution which has rapidly and steadily progressed, year after year, until today it is generally acknowledged to be one of the best high schools in this section of the state. Q Of the third class of '85, one member, W'in-nie ,CPeachj Pharis, still resides near Butler and is proud of the fact that each of her children, two song and two daugh- ters, are graduates of Butler High School. Since that first year, the graduating classes have varied in siie from two to thirty- one. The class of '18 will add- forty-one members to the list ofthe graduates who daily pay tribute to their Alma Mater. if The Alumni of Butler High School now has a total membership of 491 names. p Nineteen of our members are now in the service of Uncle Sam, risking all for Liberty and Justice---edoing their share in the struggle to make the World a fit place to live in. They are: George Hupp, Elmer Kinney, Ashby Wayland, Wendell Atkeson, LaVern,e Holloway, George Caruthers, Clyde Sells, 'VValter Catterlin, Sam Armstrong, Gaylord Vantrees, Roger Ely, Harry lfVyatt, Ofred Jackson, Gardner Smith, Everett Deweese, Lorraine Kinney, Frank Ludwick, William Allen, and Wendell McHenry. i Two of the bravest and best of our number, Elliott Walker-and John Dykman, were in the service of their country ready to fight for the cause so- dearuto all true Americans, but it was His Will that they should be taken before they should enter the field of battle. It is with deepest grief, and yet with pride that We mention the noble sacrifice of these brave hearted young men.

All alone he sat and studied, Bent on making straight E pluses, Studying, studying, by the lamp light, Burning midnight oil profusely. Honor sought he in his folly, Sought to graduate with honors, As he studied by the lamp light, Taxing, straining, all his senses. To him came his school companions, Begging him to leave his studies. But his soul was lost in study, And he heeded not their pleading. On into the night he studied, Past the witching hour' of midnight, Till his head drooped on his bosom And he sat there still and staring. Thus they found him when the day broke with his open book before him, But he did not read its contents He was cold and pale and lifeless. On a rising ground he's buried With the sighing pines above him, And they whisper ever, ever, Of the folly of this student. T EMMETT BULLOCK us. Sixty-nine Svi,-:Neat nhhing, Well, it's all over now, but we fellers sure had a. good time while it was goin' on. I wish I had another sister to get married. It's lots of fun to stick around when no- body even dreams you're there, an' just watch an' listen. You see, my big sis has just gone an' got married. She was engaged for six months though, before she finally landed her dear Oscar. Me and Sam jest had the most fun while they was engaged. VVhy, we was under the sofa when he popped the question. You see, we saw that he was struck on her an' we thought it was about time he was sayin' somethin'. I heard Sis tell Ma that Mr. Long was goin' to call that evenin' an' Ma she says, Do you think that young man has any seryus in- tentions? Then Sis's face got all red and she says, Why-oh-er-yes, I think so! So me an' Sam we decided to see if Mr. Long had HUY.5C1'YL1s 'te-ntions. WC just crawled under the sofa and waited. We didn't have very long to wait, 'cause pret- ty soon .they come in. Sis, she set down, but Mr. Long seemed awful nervus an' kep' walkin' around the room, but pretty soon he set down too. He kept openin' his mouth an' sayin' Ah-hem, an' then he'd shut it again. He sure was nervous. Me and Sam, we was gettin' nervus too-. There wasn't much room under that sofa an' there wasn't much air neither, an' we knew we couldn't lay still much longer. Besides, there was a littlehole in the bottom of the sofa an' the saw-dust kept tricklin' down my neck. I stuck my finger in the hole but my arm got awful tired. No, we waSn't very comfort- able. VVell, by an' by Mr. Long took his courage in both hands an' got up an' walked over to Sis an' fell on his knees. I thought sure he'd stumped his toe on the carpet, but don't you know, he didn't even try to get up! -He just said, fast as he could, Gertrude, I love you. Will you be my wife? an' then he stopped an' gulped and started to say somethin' else- an' then gulped again. I admire my sister. She always knows what to say. So she says, Y-yes, an' then he put his arm around her an' the-n -I sneezed! I couldn't help it. I got so excited that I forgot an' took my finger out of the hole an' that saw-dust got up my nose. ' My goodness! but that feller ju1nped! Sis, she says Oh, what was that! Mr. Long walked over to one end of the sofa an' Sam whispered, Oh, golly, we're goners! Then I wriggled out at the other end an' Sam follered me an' the-n we beat it. But I got one look at Sis as I went by. I-Ionest I did feel sorry for her. I-Ier face was all red an' she looked like she wanted to cry. Well, that night after supper, Mr. Long came down to our house again an' he an' Dad an' Ma was in the library fer a long time. Then they called Sis in too an' Ma :orne out pretty soo-n crying like everything. I thought maybe the house was on fire 31' Dad was sick, so I said, What's the matter, Ma? Ma she grabbed me an' kissed me. Then she blubbered, Gertrude is engaged. She's goin' to marry Mr, Long. Well, I didn't see nothin' about that to cry about, so I says, What you crying for? I'd think you'd be glad she's landed him at last. He's the one to be cryin'. Ma, she cried, as she run off upstairs, Oh, VVilliam, how can you! just then Dad opened the door and said, Come here- VVilliam, so I went. an' he said, William, this is your new brother. Shake hands with him. I went an' did it, but you bet I didn't want to. But after I got one look at his face, I didn't feel so bad. He wasn't a bit nervus now, but he was smilin' an' lookin' happy like. I liked him lots better. Then he says,' Well, Billy, I'll forgive you for Seventy Siva manning-Qlnntinueh spyin' on us. I don't blame you much. I did the same thing once when I was a kid. Things was pretty slow for us kids after that for about four or five months. But about a month ago, Sis and Ma began to sew. Me an' Dad had to keep out of their Way all fight. They didn't hardly give us nothin' to eat either, Why 3 feller c0uldn't sit down on the sofa or in a chair without settin' on a paper of pins or a needle or two, An' Ma an' Sis was all time holleri11', William, don't set down on that! or Be careful or you'll mash that dress! I asked Ma what she was doin' an'. she said, Why, we're making your sister's trousseau! . I said, Vxfell, if she can't be true to him without all that stuff she'd better leave him be. One morning Ma said, VVilliam, you must keep out of the way this Week. We'll be very busy. Your sister is going to be married next Sunday evening. Well, I kept out all right. NVho wouldn't with the house all tore up? . So they cleaned and scrubbed an' cleaned 'til they couldn't clean. no more. By Friday it looked fine. An' Saturday morning, Ma says, I'll make the 'Dride's cake this morning. And Vv'illian1, you must not come in the house. I told Sam, and we watched. Ma, she got a great big pan to make the cake in and I said to Sam, VVell, there'll be enough left for a week. But Sam whispered, ukeep still. You see, we was behind the flour chest, way out of sight. . Pretty soon the telephone rung an' Ma went to answer it, so we crawled out. Ma had a big cook-book on the table an' I saw where it said 2 tablespoons salt. I said, Sam, let's put the salt in, an' Sam he said, 'fall right, so we went in the pantry and I found a box that has Salt on it. I thought two tablespoons of salt wasn't enough so I put in four for good measure. Then we stirred it up an' left by the back door. ' You never saw so much fuss as we had at our house Su-nday morning. Every- body but me was nervus. By night Sis was scared to pieces. 'Bout eight o'clock aeople began to come. Before long the house was full. I had on a high collar an' it hurt my neck an' chin. Pretty soon everybody got still an' a woman began to play. Then Sis an' Mr. Long came walkin' in. They was walkin' awful slow an' Mr. Long was lookin' awful handsome. Say, but Sis was pretty. I-Ier dress was made out of some lace stuff and there was a long thing made out of lace, that dragged behind her. I thought sure she'd get her feet tangled up. Well, they stopped in front of the preacher an' he said a lot of words an' they was married. Then everybody went to supper. They ate a long time and I was Scared there wasn't goin' to be nothin' left. By and by they got through eatin' everything but cake. Then Sis took the big :alce knife an' cut the big cake. My! but it looked good, Then they started to eat it. Sis took a bite an' looked scared. Then Ma took a bite an' looked still scareder. Then she cried quick like, Oh, what's the matter with this cake? It's awful! And then I happened to think about the salt and my face got red. Ma saw it and she says, :'VVilliam, did you do anything to this cake? Ain' I said, I jest put some salt in it. Ma screamed, Oh, William, you'll kill me yet! Bring that salt here at once. I got it and gave it to her an' said, Here 'tis. Ma held it up an' on it in big letters was, E-P-S-O-M S-A-L-T-S E-X-T-R-A S-T-R-O-N-G! I HELEN LOUISE CLARK '19, Seventy-one ADVERTISING , Is the drawing card for business.

Seventy-four '- Butler, izznuri -iik- BUTLER, the county seat of Bates County, is situated i-n almost the exact geographical center of the county, and is located upon gently rolling and well drained land. It is one of the prettiest and most progressive of the one hundred and fourteen county seats of the state, with broad, well kept and shady streets. Some of the streets are paved with vitrified brick, and are all well graded and some of them are macadamizedi. O-n both sides of the streets of the city are broad, well made concrete sidewalks, and a similar broad walk leads from the city limits to Gak Hill Cemetery, just east of the city, and which is regarded as the most beautiful burying ground in Southwest Missouri. A fine sewerisystem gives splendid drain- age and conduces to the remarkably good health record of the city. The city owns its- waterworks and electric light systems, both of which are modern in every way. There are many beautiful and costly modern homes in the city, all equipped witl1 bathrooms, electric light a-nd heating appar- atus. A modern paid fire department, with a fine team and hose wagon, supplemented with an auto truck for sudden alarms, gives the city ample fire protection. The city has a system of schools which is the pride and admiration of the entire school district. The high school building is new and modern in every particular. The enrollment in the High School for the present year is 262, making it one of the largest high schools in the state. The school is articulated with the Missouri State University. There are three fine .ward school buildings. All the leading religious demonina- tions are represented in the city by good congregations and finely equipped buildings. The business houses of the city will compare favorably with those in most cities much larger than Butler, and the stock of goods car- ried by our merchants are large and varied, enabling our people to buy at home at all times. Only lately they have established the Merchants Delivery. The Butler Commercial Club is a live and progressive body of energetic business men, and it is doing much for the upbuilding and growth of the city. Almost every line of business is represented in, the city. The surrounding trade territory is rich and populous, and many of the farm homes in Butler's territory are m.odern in every particular.

PRICE T0 ALL Copyright Hart Sohatfnerk Mart V 'Butler 1-Iigh vjfrhnnl is the best high school in the State of Missouri, according to the students who have attended it. Butler High School had 262 students enrolled for the year IQI7-IQISQ nearly one-half of these students were tuition pupils, or students who live out of the city limits. Last year all the teachers were college graduates, and the school will keep up that standard for the coming year. Student Government has given our school wide renown and it has been a success for three years. The Teacher Training de- partment is o'n.e of the best in the state, Any student who graduates from this depart- ment is given a life certificate as a teacher. It has been a great success, this is proven by the number of teachers that are in the field now, who have graduated from Butler High School. Basket-Ball is the most important sport in the Way of athletics, that is taken up by the High School. Last year the boys' team Cthe following are the members: Walter E. Williams, Jimmie Tilsley, Emmett H. Bullock, David N. Thompson, Harvey B. Hensley, Clyde E. Borland and Shirley Board, with John W. Craig as the best coach that has ever been at B. H. SJ Won I2 and lost 1. The only team that beat Butler was the State Champions, Central High School. The team won the champion- ship of the Second District at Warrensbtirg. There is plenty of material for a chamf pion team this coming year and here's hoping that the 1918-1919 team will be more successful than last year's team. Seventy-seven ' xxinifl' .

MISSOURI April 27th, 1918 Kind Friend: Your statement that pictures are a mental comfort is quite true. Its tremendous, its im- portant, this work that we do. Think of how often in years to come the photographs we have made, especially in these eventful times will be looked upon midst smiles or tears. When you have forgotten noniessentials and even hardships you will still be so glad to have the photograph. That's why we always try to make better photographs and that's why I urge you to ' not delay or neglect having pictures made. Let my craftsmanship bring mental comfort to you, to your friends and to your loved ones. While Mr. For is in the army I shall nkeep on keeping on.' MRS. A. R.

BUTLER, MO, nth nf Glnmmenhzxiiun The 1918 But1erite Annual Staff could not have attempted the publication of this book without the help of persons who are not on the Staff, Each department of the Staff needs assistants, places for which havenit been provided for on the Annual Staffg therefore pupils have been asked to help publish this book, for is it not part of their work? Logan Price and Marguerite Lane have come to the rescue of the art department and it was through their willingness and ability that the pictures in this book are of such fine appearance. XfVe cannot say enough to do them justice for the work they have done, and it is with pleasure that the Butlerite Annual Staff gives them mention. Ola Ayres has been of inestimable value to the kodak and literary departmentg she has always been willing to work for the Staff and she knows how the Staff values her ability to perform the duties that she has been asked to do. Ruth jones and Norton Seelinger deserve credit for the manner in which they ftl ' have made copy for the '4Butlerite Annual Staff. They have sacrificed much o' leir been wasted. The Staff might also mention all the Y typewriting students who have contributed to the Work of making copy, but to name each one would be a real jobf' There are perhaps other students who have been of Value to the Staff, and wc- take this opportunity to express our thanks and appreciation to every one Cstudents, teachers and citizens of the townj who has helped in any way to make this book the time but we know that it has not success it is.
