Luck seemed against him as he was penniless and had had no supper nor would he have any prospect of a warm and dry bed. As he would get no supper, and as the shops were closing, he thought he would look for a packing box behind one of the department stores, which might have a little excelsior left in it. Turning up an alley, he saw a stack of boxes, one of which was half-boarded over and feeling inside discovered quite a quantity of straw also an occupant. Dick struck a match and found what appeared to be a cur, which was crouched back in the farther corner and which snarled, apparently trying to protect his bed from an intruder. “Why! hello old chap!” exclaimed Dick, reaching forward his hand to pet the dog. “1 won’t steal your bed, but I'll ask for a share of it.” The dog being good natured and seeing that no harm was meant, gave in to the petting of this friend. So they spent the night together protected from the bitter weather and awoke refreshed but as hungry as two bears emerging from their winter quarters. Since they were both in the same fix and neither had any breakfast to look forward to, Dick set out to hunt a job as he had been doing for the past two days. “ This case of ours is hopeless, my boy!” cried Dick after being turned down two different places where he had inquired for work. “By the way, if we are to chum together, what am I to call you?” and Dick looked more closely at the appearance of his companion. The pup was a cross between a collie and Belgium police dog, as near as Dick could tell, not knowing a whole lot about dogs. “What did I call you at first?” he went on to say to the jumping ball of curly fur about his feet. “Was it not ‘Chap?’ Why that ought to do,” and calling this name over and over the pup understood that it meant him and always responded to it. Two years later we find Dick and Chap comfortably fixed in a small apartment where there are no such signs as “No Dogs Allowed.” Dick had procured a job as a collector and, proving that he was no loafer but an industrious worker, now got a fat envelope on pay day. Sometimes Chap would accompany him on his rounds or woulu wander off seeking amusement in chasing some of the citified cats. Now Chap was no longer a scroggley cur but a wide-chested, well-balanced, bright-eyed dog with pointed features of a police dog and the furry coat of a collie. He was strong, quick and a fast runner. One day when Dick returned home, he wondered why Chap did not meet him at the steps and, then thinking that the janitor had left him in, went on up to his room, but here there was no Chap to be seen. Neither did he turn up after 8 THE SENIOR [MAGNET a week had passed. Dick had hardly noticed how large a place the friendship of the clog held in his heart until after the disappearance of Chap. So it continued for a year until the gold strike of Boron was made and the great rush of ’92 started. In the meantime what had happened to Chap, lie had not been killed by an auto nor struck down by a street car. Not him, he was too quick to be caught napping after living all his life in this bustling city. No, he had been coaxed by a tempting morsel of meat just far enough inside a door which was quickly slammed shut upon him, holding him in a small room. His two captors overpowered him after quite a struggle and he was thrown into a dirty crate where he was cramped for room. These two men were Pete Sanders and Joe Cowan, who were preparing for a prospecting trip into the north, and as their means were limited they were catching what few good dogs they could and would ship these north on a boat. This was carried out ana Chap experienced no gentle handling or care, but was kicked about and cuffed at the slightest resistance on his part. When they arrived north, the first news of the Boron strike was going out to the world and these two counted themselves lucky. They hitched their mixed team to a heavy sled loaded to the utmost with supplies. The day after their starting, a thawing spell broke the long cold month and melted the snow enough to cause it to stick to the runners and make the pulling hard. But the men did not take this inti consideration and, crazy to reach and stake out their claims, lashed their spent dogs until they whined. Did Chap whine? No, he never thought of that, he only growled the more fiercely each time the lash fell on the quivering back. This continued all the way to the camp in spite of the advice given by Bill Menton who happened to be following the two prospectors to the same camp. When they arrived, there was only Chap and one other dog left as the rest had weakened and been left strewed along the trail to die. This made it that the two men had to lay hold of the harness themselves and help to pull the sled. They laid down their whips and Pete went to unfasten the one dog while Joe went to release Chap, who haci been lying on the snow resting as it seemed. But this was not so. He was watching Joe, who laid down the whip which had stung him so many times that day, and now was crouching for Joe. Joe was within three feet of Chap when he sprung straight at Joe’s unprotected neck. But Chap had not counted on the harness fastened to him and the heavy load. This shortened his reach and he only tore the flesh on the side of the neck. Pete, hearing Joe yell and fall dripping with blo(xl from his wound, grabbed a whip and lashed the struggling dog back from his victim. The few men near ran towards the disturbance and helped to carry the wounded man into an adjoining shack where he was attended. After looking to the comfort of his partner, he returned to the dog and commenced lashing him. Just then Bill Menton came up and struck the whip from his hands. “What’s the idea of beating that tired dog?” questioned Bill, who had a soft spot in his heart for dogs. “Why, he came near killing my pard-ner just now when he went to unharness the cur,” and he struck the dog again with the whip he had picked up. “And another thing, you mind your own business.” Bill pulled his gun and made Pete hand over the dog, now hardly able to stand on his bleeding feet. “I guess I’ll take care of it until you are in a better mood and your pardner well,” he told Pete, while petting the dog. Chap well remembered how he used to be patted by his last friend. THE SENIOR INI AG N E T 9 Would he ever see him again? Yes, he would, and soon at that. It was the third week after the news of the gold strike that Dick Bennet found himself in Boron, now a bustling camp. He was walking about the camp inquiring where the best strikes were being made so that he might stake one out for himself. He came upon a group of men gathered in a ring in which there was a tumult of legs and arms thrashing about. He inquired of a fellow standing near what it was all about anil got the reply. “Well, it seems that two fellows came into camp about two and a half weeks ago and one of them was almost killed by a dog he was unharnessing. His pardner, that’s him on the bottom now getting pounded to pieces, was beating the dog to death when another man, the one who’s on the top now, stopped him and took the dog away. Now they’re fighting it out and the one who wins gets the dog.’’ Finally the struggle ceased and the winner arose, his clothes torn to shreds, and commenced to walk away amid cheers when Dick rushed up and grabbed his arm. “Why, hello Bill old boy, what are you doing, scrapping over a mere dog?’’ and it was the same man who used to tramp the street with Dick. “Well, you’ll see if you come to the house.” So they went to the house and as they opened the door, a large dog rushed upon Dick’s companion and tried to lick his face. Then seeing a stranger, he backed away until he caught the scent of his old master, for he did not recognize him as he had grown a mustache and also was not shaven. Dick saw and knew the dog. “Why, Chap can it be you!” And the dog leaped to his old friend who luckily had found him unexpectedly, and there certainly was a joyful night spent in that cabin, and Dick thanked his friend over and over for having saved his dog Chap. -B.H.S GRADUATION Floyd Bowers When it comes to graduation All we Seniors feel quite blue, Tor we must part from one another, Quite sad but still ’tis true. In our four years of study, East each other we do fly, Never realising the strong friendship That we build here bye and bye. Hut after we just know each other, And all the faces grow familiar, Graduation comes along and from us Their faces it does sever. In future years, when we look back, Sad thought will come into our mind When we just then begin to wonder Where the others we could find. Some may leave our memory shortly, Others not so brief a time; That’s one reasoti why graduation Does not sweetly with us chime. 10 T H E S E N10 R fM A G N E T Buddies Ella Snydek Early in 1917 there came to America a plea, a clarion call for help, and America said, “We are coming, Lafayette.” So Red went into service among the very first, and, in camp became famous for two things, one his everlasting smile, the other his skill as a potato peeler. llis captain was a jolly fellow, half dreamer and half soldier, a man with high ideals and a friendly heart, whom the boys called “Cappy.” He was beloved by his boys because he could shoot a “cruel crap” and play a straight game of poker—and he was a born mixer. Perhaps you don’t quite get the connection between Red and Cappy, so I’ll explain. At first it was Cappv’s keen sight at inspection which caused a private interview—Red had a button olf. “What’s your name?” Cappv asked. “Red,” with a grin. “Red who?” “My full and baptismal name is George William Henry—” “That’s enough,” interrupted Cappy, smiling. “I’ll call you Red. Now, sir. you know you are supposed to keep all the buttons on your clothes, don’t you?” “Yes, sir,” with a grin. “You know there is a punishment for disregard of such rules, don’t you?” “Yes, sir.” “Well,” and Cappy stroked his chin, “would you prefer a week in the guard house, or a week potato peeling?” “Guard house, for mine,” Red told him. “Urn, hum, you may peel potatoes, beginning at noon.” And so Red peeled potatoes, improving with practice, and Cappy watched and smiled. Private interviews were frequent (for Red was only a Ereckles grown up), but somehow Cappy’s punishment lacked a sting and the two soon became friends with an attachment as deep and lasting as it was unvoiced. And then they were sent “Over There,” to a country, trapped, bleeding, despairing, such was Erance. At this time every man was needed, no one could be spared if he could hold a gun. In the Erench army there were fathers standing side bv side with their sons, and even grandfathers were not exempt. Women had given over the housework to the small children and the aged grown ups. Every eligible person fled to the munitions factories and turned out as much war supplies as the country’s fast diminishing resources could command. Times were hard; Hindenburg was coming, faster, nearer, relentlessly! In Paris the fussed ladies were packing their band boxes and preparing to flee at a moment’s notice. And then “ They came! A million Yankee boys, hurrying, grim and strong to fight for a country’s ideals.” And smiling still in red-haired radiance came Red and Cappy. The Company stopped at a little town which was battered as a hero’s helmet, and awaited orders. 1'here was no time to play, however, for orders came almost immediately, a scout was to report the chances for an advance. Cappy knew his two best scouts, the two who would learn most and risk least —Red and a fellow called Ham. He could recall many good points in both, but neither was the better. He called them in and settled the question by a tossed coin—Ham must go. He went, equipped with telephone, wire cutters, a grin, and instructions to report 7 H E SENIOR £M A G N E T every quarter hour, whether or not he was making progress. Until midnight everything went well. Ham was safe and finding out a great deal—hul then the signals stopped; two hours dragged by and then a huge crash followed by a single word flashed back to the waiting operator, Done—” There was a deathly silence. Gappy was notified— Call Red, was his only comment. Red came, tousled and sleepy. I le made Cappy a drowsy salute and stood at rumpled attention. Red,” said Cappy, and his voice was hard, Red, you’ve got to go over.” In the flash the somnolent dough boy was wide awake, alert, ready for his orders,—a man, and a soldier. He did not speaK until Cappv’s commands were given and then, “If I don't get back when the rush is over, take care of my belongings, Cappy.” That was all and with a quick clasp of Cappy’s hand, he was gone into the shell-torn night, smiling his everlasting smile, the fire of his gleaming hair smothered out by his helmet. Cappy knew no rest that night. The winged messages flared back and forth like fire flies, from scout to operator and back again, until the small hours. And then, within two minutes, came two O’ K's—one from Red and one from the “Big Chief.” The advances were on! Every Yankee niuskateer rushed forward, facing the hellish blare of cannon; quaking as an unseen gas polluted the morning air; waiting for the unguessed shell from an aeroplane above, dealing death and worse. And all the while the three sisters went on with their spinning, stopping a million times to break the threads with their skinny, nimble fingers. They must have been busy that night. While Cappy led his men across, Red was retreating, seeking some rude shelter in which to repair his damaged telephone. Finally there peeped up at him a de-lapidated morsel of stone wall, making an angle, an ideal shelter—one side of which faced his enemy while the other protected his right side. Here he worked busily while time flew, missed by the shells which whistled and cracked all around and above him. It seemed he could hear a voice calling, even amid the din and noise around him. It appeared to be far away, weak, yet recognizable. I le looked around the side of his hiding place, but saw nothing; yet he was sure—and—suddenly he knew. 1 le peered cautiously over the top, to see the object of his thoughts, Cappy torn and bleeding. Red pulled him within the rude shelter and rested him as comfortably as he could on his own strong arm. I le felt a dry hard lump in his throat, for he knew that Cappy, his buddie, was done. “Red,” the dying man’s voice made him start, “I guess you’ll have my things to take care of—smile old scout, and take off your helmet,” he struggled hard for strength to go on. “1 want to go out seeing you like—that—his voice limped into silence, but his eyes were rational and smiling. And then and there George William Henry did the hardest thing of his life— he smiled, and his red hair gleamed in the early light, while his heart tugged at its bonds, while those watching eyes grew dim, until the body bacame limp in his arms. Cappv was gone—Cappy, his Buddy, was gone—. T E S E N10 R EM A G N E 7 Mio Figelio, Tony Darrell Gregg Say, I have one boy what plays— whats’ you call heemp De footsball, dat’s heem.

THE SENIOR {MAGNET 15 Rag Doll and Black Cat Helen Burckhalter Said the little rag doll to the old black cat, “If I don't get out cf this package I'll choke.’’ “Now be patient, my dear,’’ said the wise old cat, For as soon as Jackie’s prayers are said, they will be here to get you out and place you among so many toys your head will swim. 1 have heard so much of Jackie, his family, and all because his aunt Jane made me; she talks all the time. She hoped 1 would take the place of the old Teddy Bear he has lugged to bed with him for more than a year. But now that you are here, you seem so very nice I’m afraid Jackie’s affections will be divided. 1 will tell you, little rag doll, a bit of my life. You see I am made from one of Aunt Jane’s stockings, that is why I'm so w'ise, I have traveled so far. Last summer 1 went out west where I stayed eight weeks. 1 even went up in an aeroplane, seeing wonderful sights. I fox-trotted and danced until I wore out my toe, then 1 was thrown aside until Aunt Jane contrived the idea of making me into a cat for Jackie dear. 1 am very glad she did for oh, if she had not, I would have been thrown to the rag man, and my life would have ended then. Now that 1 am here having you for a friend, 1 expect a wonderful time, don’t you, little rag doll?” “Your words cheer me, little black cat, for my life has been a sad one. 1 haven’t had any pleasures at all. 1 have had some wonderful experiences, too. I have seen many sights too terrible to tell, for you see the blue cloth out of which I am made adorned the back of a very brave French soldier. 1 low happy he was when his new’ coat he donned, so proud was he to fight for his own. He went out there and he never came back. He played the game. He.was true blue. His coat was sent to his little wife Yevonne. “She carried it about in her arms for days, his coat, that is all she had of him then. After many months, which seemed like years, your Americans came to fight for France. I low proud we were of your stalwart big men as they marched through our streets, armies of them. After that terrible war was over, one day there came to our house a handsome big American to purchase a doll. He paid for me what 1 thought was a big price, but he didn’t mind for 1 could see he thought Yevonne very fine. His cheerful manner made her so happy and gay it brought tears of joy to my eyes, for 1 loved her dearly, my little mistress Yevonne. One day she packed me away and went to bid him good-bye. I could not see them, but I heard every word and I know that he cares. So that’s my story, you old black cat, but listen they are coming. I hear a voice. The fine American who fought for France, who loves Yevonne and brought me here.” “Oh, that is the voice of Jackie’s Uncle Jim. You see he talked to Aunt Jane all the time she was putting my stuffing in. This is the house of their sister Nell, and we are Christmas presents for their little nephew, Jackie Kent. But hush, they are here!” “Really, Jim, I thought that child would never give in. He is so excited about Santy he couldn’t get to sleep at all so we will be very quiet in here. You unwrap all the toys while 1 trim the tree and we will scatter them about. It is wonderful what Christmas means to me since I have a little kiddie of my own to fuss about.” At last Uncle Jim lifted me out, just a little rag doll, but the look he gave me as he thought of Yevonne. Just for 16 7 E SENIOR IM A G N E T an instant I was pressed to his heart. Here, Nell, it’s the doll I brought from France, and, by the way, I am going ovej-next month for Yevonne. They worked four hours to make everything fine. I was quite dazed by the beautiful tree. It didn’t seem possible to me that one little boy could have such a succession of mechanical toys. There was a bear, an elephant, a lion, a horse, in fact a whole menagerie. As 1 sat wedged in the top of one of his stockings, 1 glanced around and saw my friend sticking out of the other. Dear old black cat, I fear I have traveled far in vain, for among all these wonderful toys I feel so shabby and 1 know 1 will not be noticed at all. “Don’t worry, little rag doll, for I am sure you are wrong. We were not made in a big factory all dingy and dim. You were made by the loving hands of Uncle Jim’s sweetheart Yevonne, while 1 was made by darling Aunt Jane. As she twisted my tail and sewed me up tight she was thinking of Jackie so that I know that every stitch was a stitch of love. Don’t you think that places us in a different light? And besides after a child loves you for a long long time you become real. Oh, dear little cat, will it happen to me all at once?” “No, it doesn’t happen all at once, little doll. It will take a long time and that’s why it doesn’t happen to all these toys who break so easily. We will become shabby and loose in the parts. But these things don’t matter at all except to people who don’t understand. So good night little friend. I hope I have given you pleasant thoughts for your dreams.” Next morning quite early there came in with a rush a youngster just bubbling over with joy. Of all these toys, which do you think he loved best. The old black cat, the little rag doll. That night as he knelt by his bed, he held one in each arm. The little rag doll was almost too happy to sleep and so much love stirred in his saw dust heart that it almost burst. And into the shoe button eyes of the old black cat, there came such a look of wisdom and beauty that Jackie’s mother said as she tucked him in bed, “I declare if that cat hasn’t got quite a knowing expression. --------------b.h.s.----------- GOOD OLD BUTLER HIGH Rhea Cooper Eor good old Butler High, Who has always treated us right, Let’s give it a cheer, With all our main and might.

T 17 You Never Can Tell Martha Worcester Mr. Davis was a common, ordinary business man, with two children who were in college. Norma and Jenny, the two young hopefuls, were bv no means common or ordinary, according to their own estimation, as their parents soon discovered during the first vacation spent at home from their respective schools. Somebody had told Norma that she had talent, and Norma believed it. For this reason, in addition to her other studies, she cost her daddy in the neigh-borhood of five thousand dollars a semester for lessons in classical dancing from a famous Russian instructor. Mr. Davis could not see anything commendable in that, but he let his daughter go ahead in her “art” simply because it was her wish, anti within reason. Jimmy was a real college man, which means in our language a young man of about twenty-three years of age, handsome of course, and possessing the distinguished air of a man who has the world at his feet. And inevitably, as all the rest, Jimmy knew exactly what was wrong with the world and everything in it. Don’t you think that Mr. Davis should be proud of a son like that? No doubt he was. Well, anyway, since college boys are practically all alike, you get the point. Norma and Jimmy graduated in the same year, the minds of both filled with ideas to make the world realize that they were absolutely essential for its progress. Graduation was a grand affair, and Mr. and Mrs. Davis were by no means the proudest parents there. The exercises lasted for three days, after which the young graduates returned to the parental nest,—for the time being. This was short. Soon after her arrival at home, Norma broke the news to her parents that she intended to go on the stage. Horrors! Dear papa and mamma were speechless for a moment. Then father refused to take it seriously, until his daughter began to cry and declare that she wasn’t appreciated, and all her work was for nothing. Oh dear! other girls weren’t confined,—and so on. Mr. Davis became exasperated. He considered actors and actresses merely as painted puppets, and would have been cut to the heart if his daughter should enter that profession. The subject was dropped, but resumed with increased feeling the next day. Dad finally lost all patience, and cruelly declared that she would either have to get that silly idea out of her head, or—. I le didn’t finish. But Norma was more firm than ever. One evening while her parents were at an entertainment which was destined to last for some time, the dutiful daughter packed up and started for California on the night train. She left a note on the library table which was stated something like this:— “Dear Mother and Dad, You don’t seem to realize that I am a genius, and so cannot appreciate the opportunity which has knocked at my door. When my career has been assured, 1 shall come home for a short visit. 1 shall go to Aunt I lelen’s in Los Angeles until 1 get settled. Don’t worry. Love and forgiveness, Norma.” Needless to say, that was a terrifically hard blow upon those who loved her best. It was too late to call her back— the night train had left four hours ago. The best that could be done was to wait and hope for her safe arrival in Los Angeles. 18 7 II E S E MO R £M A G S’ E T In the meantime, brother Jim had been growing discontented with the quiet life in his nine o’clock home town, and yearned to go west where men are men.” Ilis father had, by his influence, obtained a position for Jim in a neighboring office; but Jim was bored by the daily, regular routine. So Jim, too, arrived in Los Angeles about a month after his sister. Since Norma’s arrival in California, she had sought interviews with theatre managers, trying to obtain employment as a dancer, but it seemed a hopeless task. No one seemed particularly anxious for a classical dancer. One manager who consented to give her a trial, watched her performances quizzically, but very discouragingly informed her that the public wanted pep. jazz, thrills, nothing bordering on the classical would go over.” Norma went away. She walked and walked, not knowing or caring where she was going. After all her dreams of a glorious career! Nevertheless, she would not let the news that she was a failure return home. Suddenly an idea struck her. She would make good. Norma hurried home and, encountered Jimmy lounging on the veranda doing nothing. I le hadn’t seemed particularly anxious to seize his “opportunities,” if there were any. So Jimmy had not found anything to do more strenuous than sleeping and eating “three squares” a day. Norma drew him into her plan— at which he at first rebelled—but finally consented to, because Aunty seemed to be growing tired of feeding and lodging gratis the two young people, and told Jim that he had better find another boarding place. The only drawback was that he had no money. Norma’s idea was that together she and Jim might evolve a dancing act which would appeal to the public so that evening she began coaching her brother. Jim was as awkward as an-ox, but that was to be expected. They practiced every morning, afternoon and evening, un- beknown to Aunty, until they had worked up a rather good dance. It was one of those Spanish affairs like the kind in w'hich Valentino specializes. Then Pierrot and Pierette” was gotten out and dusted off. After a month of rigid rehearsing, the two felt that they could carry off the palm in a becoming enough manner, wherever they might act. At last a contract was signed with the manager of a famous restaurant which entertained its guests during meals with various specialties, and Norma and Jim were now launched upon their careers. They became extremely popular—people came to the restaurant especially to see them perform; their salaries were increased once, tw'ice, many times during the two years spent in cabaret dancing. Aunt Helen was under the impression that they were teaching school, and could not discover the truth since they had removed to a house which was nearer their place of occupation than the home of their aunt. The Davis’ popularity had been steadily increasing. Managers of musical companies and shows sought them, and begged them to sign contracts at enormous salaries, which they intended to do in a few months time. But, they were now becoming involved in what authors call “high life.” When the restaurant closed, which was usually at three o’clock in the morning, Norma and Jim with their newly found “friends” sought other places of amusement, and after an hilarious night, managed to unlock the door just as the milkman was coming up the walk. This sort of so-called fun began to leave its impression on Norma. Although charmingly pretty formerly, she was now becoming thin and pale, with a fagged-out expression creeping into her eyes. Jim was also losing his fresh, healthy appearance. However, the two continued the battle which their work had now become, and still kept on with their merry parties. This life could not be maintained much longer without disastrous results. Although Norma and TUB S E N10 R MAG N B T 19 Jim had departed far from the Puritanical ways of their parents, their early training was more deeply rooted than they themselves realized. The climax was soon reached. It was at a very late hour one night, when the streets were thronged with automobiles bearing gay crowds to and from places of amusement. Norma and her escort were crossing a street where the traffic was heaviest, in order to hail a taxi. In some way, Norma was separated from her escort, grew bewildered at the noise and confusion, and ran dazedly in front of an approaching automobile. There was a loud cry. Everything went black for Norma, and she lost consciousness. The unfortunate driver of the car jumped out, picked up the senseless girl, placed her gently in the car, and drove to the nearest hospital. There, he was informed that her injuries would disable her for some weeks at least, but were not fatal. Paul Bruce, as was his name, called the next day, and inquired as to her comfort. The day after, he came again, chatted with Norma for a few minutes, and promised to notify her brother. The weeks sped by, and Norma rapidly improved. This long rest was doing her good, and every evening her new friend, Paul Bruce, came to the hospital for a few moments. When she was able to move about in the hospital garden, they took short strolls together along the tree-bordered paths. Norma became a different girl. She was recovering her health, her beauty was returning, and a new light sparkled in her eyes, which surely must have been due to Mr. Bruce. At last the gala day arrived when Norma wras to leave the hospital. Jimmy was there, and Aunt Helen, and most of her real friends,—also Mr. Paul Bruce. At parting, Paul asked whether he might call the next evening; Norma’s heart leaped,—but she answered “yes” composedly enough. When Paul arrived the next evening, Norma looked beautiful, and she knew it. Paul knew it, too. The young man suggested that they take a stroll in the garden—it was such a beautiful moonlight night. Of course Norma was very willing, although she didn’t say so, and under the enchanting rays of the moon the question was popped. “Norma, dear, will you?” “Yes, Paul.” And that was all. An hour later two happy people broke the glad news, and everybody was pleased. It was a fine match. Father and mother were telegraphed for, and they came on the next train. The whole ceremony was performed without a hitch, and there never was a prettier bride, or a handsomer bridegroom. After the knot was tied, a wedding breakfast was served to the immediate families and a few' friends of the two most concerned, and then the newly-weds departed for an extended honeymoon. Jimmy, who had become completely weary of his work at the cabaret, joyfully accepted his father’s offer to accompany his parents home and assume a position in Mr. Davis’ office. 20 THE SENIOR (MAGNET SENIOR GREA TNESS EA RE WELL Floyd Bowers Alice Schramm Ob, it’s great to be a senior; Earewell! thou dearest prison of our It’s sure great to feel so high. youth, Ob, it’s great to look about you Wherein we spent our gladdest days tin- With a most important sigb. willingly; Ob, it’s great to be a senior, We often longed to shun thy hidden truth, And to sit upon the stage; But yet shall long in future days for While you think that all admire you, thee.

As was the custom the main subject chosen was, “The Modern Drama” and the various phases were discussed. The following were the speakers on the program : The Salutatorian — “The Historical Perspective of the Drama”........ ................Jean Marie Wiegand The Valedictorian—“Educational Value of ‘The Silent Drama’”......... ...................Martha Worcester “The Problem Play”....Wallace Baldinger “The Comedy”........Raymond Vogeley “Symbolic Plays”....Elizabeth Shaffer “Dramatic Portraiture”..Paul Wyant “The Mystery Play”......Floyd Bowers —b.h.s.— CLASS NIGHT On January 11, 1924, the A Senior class displayed its talents along numerous lines. The president gave his opening address which was followed by the Doners portrayed by Alice Schramm and Walter Wimer who gave remembrances of school days to various members of the class. Carl' Yost impersonating Ben Franklin, delivered the Declaration of Independence. “The Dreamer,” Margaret Strain, informed the class of its future outlook on life. After our four years of blissful and tedious study in this magnificent building, Ethel Blair and Albert Dembaugh felt it their duty to rid the future classes of many annoyances, therefore they cremated these various annoyances. As the time drew near for our departure from this life here, Allene Montgomery drew up our Last Will and Testament for us. Interspersing these numbers the High School Orchestra and Boys’ and Girls’ Glee Club showed their ability each in his own special line. B SENIOR RECEPTION On Friday, May 11, the class of January, ’24, entertained the class of June, ’23. 1 lours eight to eleven. The program was opened with a selection by the high school orchestra. As usual this branch of the school showed its ability as an orchestra. Then the president, Erling Christianson, made a brief address of welcome and introduced the following members: When the curtain arose, “Kiss Me, Camille,” a short comedy was portrayed with Edwin Howard as Camille Horatio. Hambone, her admirer, was acted by Floyd Bowers. 1 loratio tried to teach Camille and her friend, Luke McGluke —John Wilson, how to act. The action involved a love scene which ended in Horatio, Hambone and Luke waiting to kiss Camille. Camille, dancing on the light fantastic toe, responds with the clever evasion of “Try and get it.” Vocal solo by Ralph Slear. The majority of the class was ignorant of the talent that Ralph has and hope to hear of his success along that particular line. The Senior orchestra then rendered two popular selections. Florence Elwinger then honored us by a vocal selection. Another selection by the orchestra, followed by a reading by Ethel Blair, and then the orchestra gave another selection. Then Walter Wimer in costume sang an Irish ditty. With an encore of the famous classical rendition of “Put the Pig in the Parlor.” The program was concluded by a short play entitled “Marriages are Made in Heaven and Elsewhere.” Those who took part were Martha Worcester, Wallace Baldinger, Walter Wimer and Alice Schramm. All playing their parts to perfection. After the entertainment, light refreshments were served in the cafeteria. THE SENIOR {MAGNET 37 FACULTY RECEPTION On the evening of November 27, 1923, the worthy faculty of the Butler Senior High School entertained the A Senior class. At 7:45 various members of the class appeared and found Miss Orr, Miss O’Brien, and Mr. Irvine with wide open arms—ready to welcome us. We were ushered into the auditorium with the slight warning to not sit in bald headed row, but leave it for Mr. Irvine. But some of our older class dignitaries misunderstood this request—Result—many B A U L D heads! Miss O’Brien (we suppose, because she was so accustomed to standing up before us) was the chairman; no, she wasn’t; well anyway you know what we mean. She just prepared us for what was to come. She first said something about Miss Irvine wishing to speak to us. Miss Irvine then gave us the Address of Welcome. She recalled the fact that five long years ago we had, or so she said, given her a very warm welcome over in the Junior High in B 9th. Wonder what period class in particular? (Our apologies, Miss Irvine). She introduced the main guest of the evening, Miss Muriel Johnston (Walter Wimer). The next Miss O’Brien announced the main entertainers of the evening, “The Sweet Family.” Ma Sweet (Miss Houston) ; she sure was sweet. Ariminty Ann, the eldest, (Miss Mosser) honored us by airing her vocal chords. Betsy Belinda, the politician, (Miss Moore), a very weak person but sure could stand on a platform of politics. Carolina Cordelia, the elocutionest, (Miss G. Reed), disappointed in love. Dorothy Delilah, the writer, (Miss Morrison). “The Thip Thent Out Thoo Thea”, Eliza Elizabeth and Frances Fedora, twins, (Miss Booth and Miss M. Reed), piano duet; Glorianna Gadabout, the Baby, (Miss Cooper), fine portrayal of a child. Mother Sweet informed us that ’twas not often that her family, who were forced to give their talents to the world to earn money, on account of the de- parture of Father Sweet, ever gave their entertainment to such a small audience. We, the class, couldn’t help that part because that was all there was of us. But we know the faculty who weren’t there sure missed a humdinger of a time. Miss O’Brien then announced that the great prima dona, Madam Galle Screechest, would honor us by many songs which could not be named. Our ears and eyes were all open to see and hear the great Prima Doner (masculine form) “when Mr. George Bob Wick made his appearance and sang for us, and then gave us many verses concerning the class, written by Miss Houston and Miss Irvine. We will give you a copy of those later. Miss Evelyn McClung then gave us three readings and the third one, “Madam Butterfly,” was given in Japanese costume. Between the numbers on the program the High School Orchestra entertained us with the musical “Babes in the Woods,” “E’ntre” (Kiss Me Again), “Nodding Roses” and “World Is Waiting For the Sunrise.” Miss O’Brien then told us the next number on the program was “EATS,” but that we were to remain up stairs till they were ready for us. So Mr. Raymond Vogeley and his fiancee. Miss Muriel Johnston, gave us their widely known dance of the time. We’re positive they should stay on the stage. “Oh, isn’t this wonderful!” “Did you ever see anything so lovely in your life?” Such expressions next reached our ears for we were in the cafeteria. The reason was—Color scheme carried out to perfection, purple and gold ice cream, purple and gold candy and little centers on table of purple and gold and little gold chrysanthemums in baskets tied with purple chiffon. “Had we a good time at the reception?” “Well I guess.” All right let’s go—FACULTY three times—YEH! 38 7 H E SENIOR TM A G N E T The following is the ditty sung by George Bob Wick, composed by Miss Houston and Miss Irvine: There’s rarely e’er a class, Where perfection is galore; But every talent can be found, In 1924. The students often wonder, Why the Magnet is so late; The reason’s very plain to see. Our Walter’s out with Kate. Now there’s our talented Raymond, He is a faculty lover; Most any day around 205 You’re apt to see him hover. In every class there’s sure to be, At least one nutty nut; Of all the nuts in ’24, A. Schramm is sure the butt. They have a pair of twins, When the boys go to call; Is it Charlotte or is it Helen, That meets them in the hall? When it comes to football, They surely have the class; Tor Barney, Hank and Dembaugh, The opponents cannot pass. And there’s another way, The class has done its duty; For in their Peggy Boyd, They surely have a beauty. Yes, even when it comes to love, 1924 can shine; For any one can easily see, For Martha, Floyd doth pine. And Erling is their president, He never makes a fuss; For in his whole existence, He’s not been known to cuss. And that they are quite models, We know you’ll all opine; And if you don’t believe us, Ask Mary C. O'Brien. I am singing you this ditty, I feel just like a goat; But Emily Irvine sitting there, Is the one who was the poet. Sitting down here in the orchestra, Right beside that music stand, Is your classmate Raymond Vogeley, He’s a regular one-man band. ------b.h.s.--------- THE IDEAL SCHOOL Dale Moore Listen fellow students, and you shall hear Of An Ideal School of yester year; Of course the students were all ideal, They never had time to waste or steal; They never played truant away from school, Or never broke the smallest rule; They never were absent and never were late, And always their lessons were all up to date. They never went to dances or masquerade balls. Nor flirted while capering through the halls; Now these students in every class, Always made a hundred each lad and lass; Now you ask who these students might be, So we’ll look in on them and see; There’s O'Brien and Purvis, Irvine and Moore, Wigton and Houston, Morrison and Orr, Hogg and Lambert, Mosser, Ferree, Schattschneider, Mclsaac and little Story.

Edison did not wake up one morning and find himself a genius; Burbank did not walk casually into his garden and find the White Blackberry; Roosevelt was not born in the president’s chair; Steinmetz had to learn his “stuff”; in fact none of our great men were made famous merely by the waving of a magic wand in the hands of a Shining Fairy. Before a football team takes the field to confront its opponents it has spent several weeks or months in rigid training and preparation. If it had not, the bitterness of defeat would be certain. Football has no respect for the man who lacks preparation. Before an army goes to battle years have been spent in preparation for perhaps a day’s fighting. The soldier who lacks preparation is not a soldier, he is merely a stuffed uniform, worth nothing. Before a surgeon takes it upon himself to tamper with human life he also has spent years in the hardest kind of preparation. A “quack” doctor never achieved success. Therefore, class of twenty-four, don’t think that you are ready to take over the helm of this old world; your four years in B. H. S. are nothing compared to the preparation needed to be a success in life. Remember the poem by Longfellow: 40 THE SENIOR {MAGNET “The heights by great men reached and kept, Were not attained in sudden flight; But they while their companions slept, Were toiling upward in the night.” —b.h.s.— CHARACTER Darrell Gregg “A man’s a man, not by his birth, Nor bulk of wealth, nor size of girth; But a man’s a man, for what he gives, For what he says, and how he lives.” Character is the standard by which we measure men. Character is either good, bad or given to laxity. However, good character is not perfect, not without a flaw; that was attained by only One. But character may be pure. Any character is made only through mistake. Pure character is the result of an honest effort to profit by precious errors and to be bigger than the obstacles and temptations which confront it. The strength or weakness of character depends largely upon the will power, but still more so upon circumstance. Character is the certificate upon which is stamped the seal of every success or failure. Perhaps Ralph W. Emerson best sums it up when he writes, “The world is full of judgment days, and into every assembly that man enters, in every action he attempts, he is gauged and stamped.” The question is: What is the worth of that stamp?” Does it add or detract from the value of the certificate? We speak of character. Everything has character, we say. The daisy springs forth with the spring, fresh and sweet from the earth, raising unafraid above its fellows, unabashed and untainted. Innocence and unspotted character alone can do this, we say. Or let us take the Ivy, beautiful, fresh, and clinging with a tenacity that cannot be broken save by destroying-the vine itself. And if broken it immediately grows anew. What is it that is so faithful? “Mother Love or Friendship?” we answer. Does the Ivy have character? Again, let us look at the donkey. Obstinacy is our first thought, and yet, it is the mule that invades the frontier or out of the way places. Mules are used in the mines. Hunters and trappers used them instead of horses on the plains during the early history of our country. Even today the mule is used in constructing of dams in arid regions, or bridges across the mountains. The burro is used as a beast of burden in the mountains. Why? Because they are patient. They are surefooted to be sure, yet accidents happen. 1 recall an incident that happened while we were in the west. We had gone up and down mountains, through canyons, forded streams and slept beneath the stars in the society of burros. 1 noticed one in particular, a small, grey pack animal, called 'Pony that seemed only half awake. All day he would climb narrow paths where the slip of the foot meant death, or sweat all day in the heat of the canyon, but would refuse to cross a stream scarcely six inches deep. Why? Because he was deathly afraid of the water. Yet another time we were descending a mountain. The pack animals were ahead. The path was narrow and treacherous. A stone rolled from beneath his foot and Tony and the pack went tumbling down the mountain side. Fifty feet below us he caught himself on a small ledge and a moment later became a part of the ledge itself. There he stood at a sixty degree angle, facing the gorge two hundred feet below, with the pack slid forward on his neck, yet waiting patiently for the men above to rescue him. We let one of the guides down by a rope, and in a few moments the pack was cut loose and both were pulled up. Shortly after, the burro was apparently half asleep under his pack as he wound his way down the mountain. We speak of “horse sense.” Had that burro been a horse, he would have become crazed with fear on the mountain and have fallen, a mass of lifeless flesh into the gorge below, but THE SENIOR IM A G N E T 41 he would have forded the six inches of water with scarcely a snort. Is this character? Does it not show instead instinct? Do not the flowers instead of showing character, symbolize various phases of character? Character is only possible where temptations are great and without number: where obstacles are many and overwhelming: and where problems are to be met and solved. Greatness of reason and understanding and strength of will determine the brightness or darkness of that character. I lence, character is only possible in man, and to make or mar it is man’s one great task. Character is the visible side of the soul. And since man alone has a soul, he alone has character. —b.h.s.— WHAT’S IT ALL FOR? Raymond Vogeley If that question were asked of any of the Seniors today the probable answer would be, “I bite, what is it all for?” It has been drilled into us time after time that we come to school not because we have to, oh, no, but to train our minds. 'That is true enough but one real purpose is to be ready so that if at any time a prompt decision must be made, we can answer “Yes” or “No” not from guess work but by what we have learned in school or are yet to learn in college. Just as at a football game. The one team is within kicking distance, with a drop kick, winning the game. At that critical instant a player is rushed in, who all season has practiced, without cheering or notice, this one thing, drop-kicking and he does what he is supposed to do. He was ready. Will you be able to do what you are supposed to do? Will you be ready? Yet we cannot go to school all our lives, but education must always be continued so that our characters will develop and we will be of some use to the world. THE PASSING OF ROYALTY Darrell Gregg Four years ago a class of Freshmen entered Butler High, the second class to enter the new building. Several of the first floor rooms were then used as store rooms, 309 was the music room. But things have changed since then, and we have watched those changes. When we first entered B. 11. S. perhaps we were as green as the present day Freshmen but not as small, surely. We at least, were in our teens. Perhaps some day, Mr. Irvine will be making out schedules for the kindergarten, who knows? And speaking of those changes. Once x and y1 might equal anything from wheel barrows to sauer kraut; to ban,— to buy—to balm—to boss meant a trumpet so they said, yet we have never seen it. Alexander the Great and Peter the Great might have been twin brothers for all we know. The spacious halls and innumerable rooms were a source of many perplexities. Always when we sought a room, it was lost, or bells rang for unknown reasons and only added to our confusion. But days passed into weeks and weeks into months and we became sophisticated sophomores, learned in our own minds and able to crow over the under classmen —vet somehow we envied the Juniors and wished we were Seniors. We became Juniors and put away our sophisticated ways—we were learning that the world was not ours but only that part which we are big enough to hold. Seniors, and we have learned to love our school and take pride in its accomplishments and stand by it when the sun is darkened. We have become, 1 hope, at least we have striven to become sportsmen, the American sportsman who can give and take and gain by both. We have learned the secrets of x plus y. To ban to buy, etc., tuba, tubae, tubam, tubas.—a real trumpet. Alexander the Great and Peter the Great have be- 42 7 II E S E N 10 R DA A G N E 7 come components in the pages of history which is no longer unknown to us. To whom are we indebted for this unveiling? Mr. Irvine and Teachers, we the members of the A Senior Class do hereby wish to extend to you who have spent weary hours without number in the attempt to enlighten our uncultured minds, our sincerest thanks and assurance of our deep appreciation of your efforts and unfailing patience which has enabled us to reach the rung upon which we stand. To the B Seniors we leave our books and best wishes; and since it is for others to leave the Freshman laurels, we welcome them to Butler High. And to all we bid Au Revoir! The A Seniors. b.h.s. TO THE WIND Alice Schramm Ob! Wind some say t’were folly To try to speak to thee, But surely one as wise as thou, Who so much speaks to me, Will pause a moment in thy flight And let me answer Oh! gentle Wind you nightly come To cool my fevered brow; And you make me smile to welcome you And bring sweet dreams, I trow. At morn, with sprightlier motion, So lively, fresh and free, You rush in through my window A nd bid me wakened be. All day, you go along with me, Some times to aid me in my way, Or, playful, laugh and stretch your hands To pity me like a child at play. thee. In winter, you are at your best; Like a boy, you laugh in glee; Yet with mother-love bring snow flakes down From the bright sky to me. The gentle breeze of summer, I love almost as well, As it blows from o’er the meadows In a sweet, delicious swell. Dear Wind, I love you always, You are such a good old friend; Let me learn the joy and sympathy From the message that you send. 43 ! THE SENIOR £M A G N E T | DRAMATICS A ROSE 0’ PLYMOUTH TOWN Martha Worcester A very enjoyable play. If the players in this entertainment have not yet decided upon their profession, they should seriously consider following a stage career. W'ithout exception, the various parts were admirably taken and the nature of the plot was such that it gave the embryo actors full opportunity to display their talents—and none were found wanting. Ruth Fisher as Rose De La Noye was a bewildering coquette at one moment and a sweet, loving maid at the next. Rose was indeed well named, and this flower was the cause of a great many heartaches. The part was difficult, but Ruth certainly handled it well. Wendle Weihe was our hero. He fitted the role of Garreth Poster remarkably well, and excellently portrayed complete change of character, at first from being one who would unblushingly help himself to the corn of the settlers, to the end when he showed himself for what he really was,—a red-blooded Englishman. Phillipe De La Noye, played by Bruce Greer, was Rose’s younger brother. Phillipe was portrayed as an inexperienced boy very much in love with Miriam Chillingsley, and his humorous remarks, although solemnly spoken, called forth laughter from the audience. Good work, Bruce! Eugene Reisinger was John Margeson, Garreth’s rival for the handsome young settler greatly in love with Rose, but who unhappily lost her in the end. The part was very well played. Elizabeth Maxwell made an exceedingly charming Miriam Chillingsley, who at first thought herself in love with John Margeson, but discovered later that Phillipe was the man for her. Aunt Resolute Story was a very comical character enacted by Marian Wise. 1 ler sarcastic remarks concerning the slowness and dreariness of Plymouth were really funny. However, Aunt Resolute soon acquired sufficient thrills to last for quite a while when the Indians attacked Plymouth. Miles Standish, Joseph McMann, was a stalwart English Captain who delighted in the wars of Julius Caesar, and always showed presence of mind in a pinch. Helen Ralston very admirably carried the part of Barbara Standish, Miles’ wife. She made a capable housewife and was a real comfort to the lovelorn young people. The scene was located at Plymouth, during the years of 1622 and 1623, the quaint speech and costumes added to the picturesqueness peculiar to that period of our history, even presenting a thrilling duel. Not to be outdone, the orchestra rendered selections in such a manner that they were heartily applauded by the audience. All in all, the entertainment was one of the best ever presented by the students of Butler High. 44 THE SENIOR IMAGNET WBBSMB MSiaBKXS vf . : ■ VO .y r A” fc j£f vs A 7 r K . 1 . v r ■v r r SiSS i ' ■ THE SENIOR [MAGNET 45 | MUSICAL ORGANIZATIONS j •I 1 THE GLEE CLUB Jean Marie Weigand That venerable organization, the Glee Club, was established approximately fifteen years ago by J. G. Bingham, when the High School students occupied the present Junior High School building. Then, there was only a boys’ glee club, but that was so much of a success that it served as an inspiration for the girls who were not long in following in the footsteps of the boys. At first, the glee clubs did not attempt anything more difficult than two part music, then, they undertook three part and finally mastered four part selections. In order to become a member of one of these famous orders, one must pass through a very trying ordeal Every semester, vacancies, left by those graduating, must be filled and thus at the appointed time, near the beginning of each term, all of the youthful aspirants assemble in the auditorium. There, before Instructor George Bob Wick and in the presence of their fellow creatures in distress, each one with shaking knees and in shakier voice, sings a selection of his own choice from the chapel hymnal. Having successfully passed this test, one is considered a fully initiated member. The Glee Clubs were organized with a two-fold purpose and have certainly succeeded in the fulfilling of that purpose. First, they are intended to give to all High School pupils, who so desire, an opportunity to become familiar with the best of music; they also attempt to bring to light any hitherto undiscovered vocal talent. And, indeed, in almost any church choir in Butler, one may find those who “made their debut’’ in the High School Glee Club. Many, having graduated from High School, have chosen to make music their profession. Secondly, they are for “exhibition.” At present, each Glee Club is composed of from forty to fifty members. An attempt is always made to balance the parts but, some years they must contend with an overabundance of tenors and a marked scarcity of bass. The next year, the reverse may be true. Nor is the Girls’ Glee Club exempt from such difficulty, on their part. Every year, they have charge of the spring entertainment at which time selections are rendered by each glee club and also by the combined clubs. During the World War, both glee clubs united to form a Liberty Chorus which furnished the music at all patriotic events. More recently the combined clubs appeared before the Woman’s Club. It has long been the custom that at Commencement and Class Night exercises each glee club render one selection. During the year they occasionally delight the school with a selection at chapel period. It is expected that some evening in the near future, they will appear on the program of the Tuesday Musical Club. The glee clubs deserve all the more credit because they practice entirely outside of school hours, the girls meeting Monday afternoon and the boys on Friday afternoon. Due to the great number of songbirds in this graduating class, there will be sixteen vacancies to fill at the beginning of the semester. The following are the members that are graduating: Margaret Boyd Elvira Bred in Charlotte Burckhalter Helen Burckhalter Florence Elwinger Vivian Eppihimer Margaret Goughler Karl Kemper Genevieve Lowman Allene Montgomery Clark Painter Alice Schramm Ralph Slear Jemima Sutton Ella Snyder Walter Wimer —b.h.s.— THE ORCHESTRA 1'he High School Orchestra is of even more ancient origin than our glee club, having been founded about 1905. At that period in the history of Butler schools, the High School was located in the McKean Street building. The original orchestra, under the direction of Mr. O. H. Weiler, consisted of about ten members. From that time, it has been steadily growing and improving until at present, with Mr. Scohier as director and Miss Houston as assistant director, it is composed of forty-four members: twenty-two violins, four clarinets, five cornets, six saxaphones, a bass viol, two drums, and two pianists. It practices for a half hour on Tuesday and Thursday of each week. There is plenty of variety in the music which they play, for they render selections from grand operas, comic operas, and musical comedies with the addition of popular and semi-popular pieces. This year alone the orchestra has made several public appearances, the first being before the school on October the tenth, taking the form of the regular “Wednesday morning specialty.” On Armistice Day, they furnished the music for the services held in the High School auditorium. They also provided the music for the senior benefit play both nights on which it was presented. Each semester they form a part of both the Commencement and the Class Night programs and at farewell exercises, they delight the school with several selections. “Precious things come in small packages” but not so with our orchestra. Due to the great number of members, the whole orchestra never appears at once but is divided into two parts which play turn about. Thus, part of the orchestra plays every morning at the regular chapel exercises. Three members of the orchestra graduate with this class. They are Floyd Bowers, Ralph Slear and Raymond Voge-ley, all of whom play violins, while Raymond adds a saxaphone, trombone and a clarinet to his list of accomplishments. Judging by their popularity, the orchestra is a real addition to Butler High School. ATHLETIC T H E S E N10 R -‘MAG N E T 47 +’ j +■ A THLETICS SPORTS We, the boys, have to hand it to the girls for winning basket ball championships. but in the long long ago, a year or so anyway, the base ball championship was won by the class of January, ’24. The personnel of the team is now forgotten except that the winners were led by Barney Perifano. In basket ball “Jan. ’24’’ always kept the race close and all the other classes feared us. The basket ball team was captained by Barney and the rest of the lineup varied. Those w'ho have at some time played on our class team are Perifano, Martin, Weihe, Slear, Nicklas, Vog-elev, Painter, Sherman, Carlisle, McEl— roy, Christianson, Wyant and I toward. Our class has contributed several stars to the football team: First is the cap- tain, Joe Carlisle, a great line backer and bucker. Whenever Joe got the ball there was either a gain or someone laid out trying to stop a cyclone Joe made a fine captain and led the rest, not by telling them what to do, but by giving himself as an example. Besides football Carlisle played class basket ball and everything he goes at he puts all the pep into it he has. Dembaugh, Albert Samuel, is the baby of our class and wras the young stripling on the team. I le was always getting bumped and bruised but he never was laid out and thus using great consideration for Butler since the field does not have a traveling crane to take such youths as Dembaugh off the field. He also was of great use in blocking punt, merely standing up, he would so scare the ball that it would roll over the goal line. Whenever anyone, who does not know' him, sees him and asks who he is, the usual reply is, “So that is Dembaugh.” Albert Samuel is the envy of all the freshmen boys not only for his football playing but also for his sideburns and bell-bottomed trousers. Barney Perifano is the only two letter man in the class. In the days when baseball was still played in Butler High, Barney did his stuff at third base and would be shaping for the big leagues now if baseball had not been discontinued. In football Barney was the fighting tackle who never knew when he was knocked out. He made the holes in his side of the line for the backfield and when it came to smearing opposing plays, Barney was right there. Kermit Anderson, who tried out for football for two years, was elected student manager for the ’25 team and he certainly earned his letter that w'ay. Sidney Guest in ’22 was going great and would have made his letter that year and in ’23 also, if he had not received injuries which prevented him from playing any more football. Butler High certainly lost a keen football star when Sid had to drop from the team. Baldinger, Christianson, Vogeley and Yost also tried out during their school career. Our class has no basketball letter men although Captain DufTord left us to lead the team this year, with him we would have had a three letter man. “Wen” Weihe w:as prevented from trying out for a position this year bv practicing for the Senior Benefit Play, but we are proud to have him graduate with us. We have the two chief pep-getters of the school in our class, Wilson and Pride, who for the past two seasons have rendered invaluable service toward keeping up the pep in the school. —b.h.s.— THE CLASS CHAMPS Up to this time we have watched the boys of different classes claim the class championship and receive the honor due THE SENIOR (MAGNET 49 them. But we have lately experienced a new thrill in seeing the girls fighting for the same honor. Although they were confined to the using of “girls’ rules”, the games were exciting and with a great deal of teamwork. The class of Jan. ’24, can consider it an honor that the late champions are enrolled in their class. When they graduate they will take with them an unbeaten team, who have our sincere w'ishes to many more successful seasons. Captain Margaret Goughler is to be commended for her excellent leadership. .Margaret played guard and was an excellent foundation for the team. She was a fast guard and kept her end of the floor clear of the ball. Margaret has been an ideal captain and the class ought to be proud of her and the way in which she handled the team. Margaret Boyd played the other position at guard. Margaret played a very fast game and was an easy star in this position. We are sorry for the guards that they were confined to a portion of the floor so far away from their basket for we believe both the guards had the ability to roll ’em in. Grace Stanton at center was a star, no matter how high the opposite center went up, Grace went up a little higher and tipped the ball anyway at all. Although her playing was confined to the middle of the floor it didn’t worry her. ORLANDO PRIDE JOHN WILSON The rest of the team knew that Grace knew her stuff and could show it when called on. Charlotte Burckhalter played the important position of side center. The one filling the position must be very fast and an expert at passing. Well, Charlotte filled this position to the letter and she and Grace kept the other two centers busy trying to break up their team-w'ork. I lelen Burckhalter was the girl who played hard. 1 lelen was the fastest forward in the league and she seemed tireless, fighting from the beginning to the end. Helen always did the unexpected passing instead of shooting and vice versa. Her teamwork can safely be commended. Genevieve Lowman is the versatile player of the team, although not quite as fast as Helen, Genevieve could drop them in with greater accuracy than any other forward in the league. Genevieve also showed up in her foul shooting and often won the game by her good judgment in this line. Pearl Skillman, although not a regular player could not be left off the lineup. Pearl could play almost anything and play it well. She always went into a game with a determination to do her part. To have a substitute that can play either guard, center or forward is not the boast of every team. 50 THE SENIOR [MAGNET GIRLS’ BASKET-BALL TEAM THE SENIOR {MAGNET 51 ADVERTISEMENTS P—ull up a chair and then sit down A—nd we will talk about our town.

There is nothing particularly disgusting about these creatures, for they resemble human beings in many respects. However, they have their peculiarities, as all aboriginals do, and I will now proceed to demonstrate some of them. The male Senior is invariably an excellent billiard shot, and may be seen almost any evening, killing poor, innocent billiards in the Recreation Room. They are easily distinguished from other inhabitants of the workhouse by the enormity of their heads, a size 8 hat being very common among these degenerates. Sadly enough, their minds are slightly affected and they entertain a popular delusion that they are right and the world is wrong. He fancies himself a victim of exorbitant class dues and is forever complaining about them. Moreover he never pays his dues until he can borrow the money. The female of this species is a very beautiful creature but she is sadly hampered by the characteristic head size of the Senior. The majority of the female Seniors are not troubled by an over sufficiency of intellect, but some are so exceptionally brilliant that they can compare with certain members of the Faculty; for instance, Mr. Turner. At one time, a Smithsonian geologist believed he had discovered the fossil of a Senior who had lived in the Neolithic age, but on further investigation it was ascertained to be merely the skeleton of a long eared horse, i. e. a donkey. “KI M TO KAUFMANN’S” 245 SOUTH MAIN ST.

Nobody was hit. The only bad feature was a little act known as “The tangleation of lizzies. It was a good act but had a bad end. Karl Kemper was the star actor and Barney Perifano the star seer. It was done so poorly the lights went out in disguest. The fenders were bent that way. But the top and windshield did the dirty work and broke up the parties. Enough of a small matter and on with the event. We started out equipped with a compass, a spyglass and three maps. We closed our eyes—put our finger on one of the maps—left the other two and departed. We wandered far into the wilderness of western Pennsylvania. Our motor was missing but no one knew it as the cord was down. Maybe the farmers we awoke to inquire -----------------------------------------♦ the way, weren’t mad. Once we were rudely told to follow our nose. Still the elusive Blair residence remained hidden and away from the maddening strife of city life. But even an ill wind blows some good. At last we learned some use for our geometry and astronomy. All the astronomy pupils had to do was to take the point where the solstitial colure intercepts the ecliptic. Then draw a plumb line of the north pole. Where these three intercept—presto they were there! But after a few more hours of the first real labor we arrived dazed but happy. Because the fellows were tired out, the Blair home suffered few' changes. The fact that there were only a few vases sitting around for them to wreck, cramped some of their style, but outside of this a wonderful time w'as enjoyed. And, gosh we had the spifTiest eats. Nobody filled up at Jean’s after they came home from Blairs that night. 56 THE SENIOR {MAGNET “Sweets to the sweet,” says Ray Voge-ley. “Do have a chestnut,” says Hazel Ellenberger. An additional feature, not on the program and not heard by all, but thoroughly enjoyed by those who did hear it was a discussion in the hall of the girls present. The argument waxed hot and heavy—really very entertaining. But all good things must end and all good friends must part. Some of us left Thursday evening—others Friday morning, but whenever we left we hated to go. Miss O’Brien and Miss Siebert sat in the dining room eating chestnuts and drinking cider all evening. This is called chaperoning. Good old time, fine eats, too. Darn good party, Ethel were with you. —b.h.s.— Jack Sherman has at last fallen for a “Jane.” No more bachelor days for Jack.

I le was cut down bv Razor and then he kicked off and was carried away. Sawdust was sent in to fill his place and ran four inches before he was clipped out by Scissors. In the next play Grease let the bawl slip and Dirt covered it. CyCIone was then given the pill and when Rope attempted to stop him, playfully tapped him on the shoulder breaking all his ribs so that he parted (this life). But Calm stopped CyCIone and just then the whistle blue. Second 1 wo Bits: Hus Key of Ho- kum, started with the ball, but was stuned by A. Brick. I'his play caused a lot of dirt to be kicked up but the crowd quickly swept the field with their eyes. De Lay was called back for an end run but Cabbage got started ahead of him and threw him for a half inch loss. The ball now went to Pokum. Sand was given the ball and with CyCIone and Wind covered a lot of ground. Grouch kicked and while the bawl was in the air the whistle blew leaving the ball in a difficult position to start the next quarter. I lokum—0 Pokum—0 Third Phenomenon: The second half started with I lokum leading by a margin of 0, but Pokum didn’t get anything either so that tied the score 0-0. Worm of Hokum was given the ball, but Bird got him before he got started. Then A Drunk full back took the ball and staggered through the line. The Pokum players were now in the shadow of their own goal while the Hokum players were still in the hot sun. Water tried to make a gain but A Dam stopped him so quick that he backed up and didn’t run the rest of the game. Just as .Memory was called back the whistle blue and he wasn’t recalled after that. Fourth Convulsion: The jury awarded the bawl to Pokum because I lokum hadn’t made any gain between the third and fourth quarters. Permit and Coupon got away with a lot of passes and worked the ball down the field. After some kind spectators dug it up again and filled up the hole the game was resumed. There was just about five minutes left to play when CyCIone took the ball. He knocked the wind out of Calm and carried Balloon in front of him. Nothing could stop him and nothing did. But on the next play he took the bawl again this time Nothing missed him, but everything hit him and he was carried off. Air was sent in to fill his place. He was a great player; he was everywhere at once. He and Wind went through the Hokum line and into an open field. When the Hokum fans saw they were going to make a touchdown they swarmed out on the field and tearing up the goal post started to run down the road with them. But Air was fast and nearly overtcx)k them when they jumped into automobiles and started away. When Air saw this he started to run faster, but when he saw he couldn’t catch up, drop-kicked the ball over and Pokum won by three points. 1 loKUM—0 Pokum—3 Water L.E Permit B. Calm L.T A. Dam C.
