Coe, this volume of the Tropaeum is respectfully dedicated by the class of 1915 GEO. W. GEDDES, Secretary. HISTORY OF THE VVIumi tin city of Butler was but a pioneer settlement, the little folk of the vicinity attended school in a log building lo- cated on the site now occupied by the Livcrgood bungalow. Miss Susann Norris, a daughter of the man for whom the town was first named, was teacher of this district school. Mrs. Almyra Noels Daily was one of her pupils, both teacher and pupil residing on the opposite side of the street. Miss Norris in a log cabin and Miss Noels in the only frame house of im- portance, it being built by her father, and still stands to test- ify of his good workmanship as it has recently been remodeled into a modern bungalow being occupied by Dr. Samuells. tho the old school building has long since been destroyed. I rom time to time the locality of the school was changed until in 1871 there was erected a square brick surmounted by a similar shaped cupola, in which was placed the hell which has ever since been calling tin- children of tin town to come ami drink at the fountain of knowledge. As the little hamlet grew the enrollment of pupils steadily increased and the school house was found to be inadequate to the demand, hence an annex of two stories was erected, the lower room being used as first primary and the upper for high school grades. It was at this time that the old double seats were gradual- ly discarded for the more easy and sightly single seats. The teachers in the annex were Mrs. Helen Baxter and Prof. Sunders. Among other familiar names on the list of teachers in the school at this time are Amelia Kester. Mary Brundage. Frank Brink and later Detitia Coats Potter. In the year 1890 the seating capacity id’ the school being once more insufficient, a frame structure commodious enough to accomodate another grade was built in the rear of the main building ami here it served its humble mission until it was removed from the grounds with the brick in 1905 to make place for the fine new structure which we now enjoy. A brief description of this school house might be of interest to the youi.y people of the present generation. In the “airlv days' the building was heated by huge cylindrical stoves partly surrounded by a sheet iron shield which was braced to the floor. In close prox- imity stood a voraceous wood box usually filled to the brim 1IUTI.KR SCHOOLS «•arh morning. Double seats, low and broad were used in alii the rooms, each child having a seat mate. The windows too, wore broad and long and composed of many little panes of glass. Muslin draw curtains took the place of blinds, usually presenting a bedraggled appearance by spring. It was necessary for the janitor to go into the high school room to ring the bell, the rope dangling within a few feet of the teachers nose when seated at his desk. Tin- closets and well were out of doors and many a bitter morning paths were made through snow drifts to both, by the janitor. Sometimes the pumps resisted all treatment of thawing, when buckets of water and cups were brought to each room and happy the “big boy upon whom was bestowed the privilege of passing the bucket. As the years advanced this old regime changed. Steam heat was substituted for stoves and a fountain took the place of the pump in the yard. It was at this time that Joseph Wyatt became identified with the school as janitor. During his twenty-three years of service In had watched children in the lower grades, graduate, come back to teach and finally send youngsters of their own to their alma mater. A friend to all’the students, he honor- ably ami creditably discharged his duties until broken in health, he gave up his position in 1914 to the regret of the whole community. Tin present elegant school edifice which furnishes training for several hundred Butler children is splendidly heated, light i'd and ventilated, modern in every respect and nicely equipped for work. Kaeli year a goodly number of students are turned from its halls, who have finished the twelve years course..many of whom return as teachers, others becoming students in higher institutions of learning, matriculating from such schools as the Indiana State University and Normal, also from Ann Arbor and other schools of high repute. Not a few of the Butler graduates are filling positions of trust and integrity and alt vocations of life are followed, farmers, lawyers, teachers ’And housewives predominating. All things considered the Butli r people feel they are fully justified in the pride they iiiahitaW for the schools. •i ..ut V :f A TUI1HITE T Perhaps never before in the history of tin public schools of DeKalb County has it been the good fortune of a school town or city to have tin valiant services of a most worthy janitor for so many years of continued service. The subject of these words of tribute. Mr. Joseph Wyatt, was janitor of the Butler schools for about twenty-four years ' of constant service. Mr. Wyatt proved indeed to be the right man in an impor- .taut place. 11� not only faithfully and patiently attended to the many details of work of the school rooms and premises, but he was constantly looking after the welfare of the pupils and teachers. The comfort of all connected with the school was his delight, lie was a kind and sympathizing friend to all tin pupils and teachers. His council was always good. Pupils never sought in vain when Mr. Wyatt was approached. JOE WYATT At all times In had a kind and pleasant smile for every one of his many friends. No one who knew him best, no one with whom he associated in near relationship, could help but be his friend. His genial good nature and broad minded sympathy al- ways held in store the better elements of friendship. He is missed in the public school by the teachers and pu- pils with whom he mingled. The author of these words writ- ten for the Butler High School Annual does not feel able to word a tribute that can possibly give proper credit for all that he did for the Butler schools in his many years of patient labor, in helping as he did to elevate the better elements of human character. He has gone from among us. but there remains the memory of him and his labors, which memory shall never pass from the minds of those associated with him in the by-gone years. Faculty FLORENCE L.

I went to the Panama-Pacific Exposition. During my stay there I happened to see above the door of a very beautiful building this sign. “A View into the Future.” As I was curious to know what was within. 1 entered. After telling the owner that I wished to see the future life of my friends of B. II. S. '15. he led me into a dark room and said 1 would see the lives of my school- mates from the time they left B. II. S. to the year 1945. beyond which time no one could foresee events. I’pon entering the room 1 beheld a curtain upon which were shown moving pictures of the futurities of the members of class 1915. The first to appear was that of Clyde Ginder. For two years after his graduation he supervised the school at Wilming- ton f’enter. His health was nearly broken by the continued rattling noise in the school room. Later he became president of Oberlin College. He was happily married to Doris Shumaker who had taken up art after leaving B. II. S. and had finished her course in Germany. Together they were striving to makv Oberlin College tin best of its kind in the world. Next was shown the life of Aileen Knepper. Immediately after leaving the B. II. S. she obtained a position in the Butler Record office. Because of her dislike for the printer's life she decided to go to the South. At Atlanta. Georgia, she met Russell Fee. who upon his exit from Butler High School had been chosen to aid the down trodden people of the South. Be- KK PROPHECY cause of their dislike for the opposite sex, they never joined in the bliss of matrimony. She established a millinery store at Atlanta, while Russell organized a Democratic Relief As- sociation to aid the negroes. Ilis aim was to have the negroes enjoy tin same rights and privileges as the whites. Following this came tin events of interest in the life of Ruby King. Ruby, who was always a strong suffragette,‘said shortly after her commencement that women could do every- thing that men could do. To prove this she started on an ex- pedition to the North Pole. Although frail of constitution, she succeeded in reaching the Pole and proved her theory. After reaching the Pole she leaned against it for two days to regain her breath. Upon her return home she was hailed as the champion of the Woman’s cause. Edward Swift, our great debater, was seen, after his de- parture from High, working on the Vandalia Railroad as a section hand, but being so intensely interested in polities he was elected mayor of Newville. lie filled this position so well that the democrats decided he should be elected to the legis- lature of Indiana, but lie aspired higher and was elected as the only Democratic member of Congress in 1940. In this position he tried to bring the Democratic party into popularity, but In has almost decided that no such restoration can be accomplish- ed. Hilda Madden, after spending the few years in B. II. took up Domestic Science intending to teach it in the Butler Buellm . who was preparing to be a farmer. Clifford had tak- en a four years course at Purdue. Shortly after their mar- riage they moved on a farm on which the North Pole stood before R. K. carried it from its original position to its present position at Artie. Indiana. Millard Capp. the president of class 15. on August 13. 1915 went to Baltimore to see his lady friend. Her answer, when he proposed, was in the affirmative. In due time they were married. Millard brought his fair blushing bride to Butler, where he pursued his calling as a buyer of stock and a } a poultry fancier. Madge Fee, at first taught country school. Five years later she went to Africa as a missionary ami as a teacher of reading and writing to the colored people. One young man she took special delight in teaching. This young man thought consid- erable of her and so together they laid plans whereby Madge became Mrs. Tumbledown. They made one trip to the T’nited Suites but she. having the opinion that Africa was a delightful country in which to live, decided never to return to the 1 nited States again. Caroline Showalter. our great musician, took a course in music but as she enjoyed country life so much she returned to her home north of Butler. Three years after her return. Rav Imhof, who had taken a course in Scientifical Farming at Michigan University, returned to Butler. They met in Butler’s Commercial Club buildings. Their renewed friendship result- ed in their marriage on June 16. 1925. In 1945 they lived on a schools, but while attending the college she met Clifford farm five miles east and two miles south of Newville. Bessie Praul worked in the Butler Creamery Co. as head clerk in the coal department for five years. Sin then married the Junior member of the firm. They started housekeeping at Johnston Center in the Hawaiian Island. Here they estab- lished an Ice Cream Factory. At this they were having a great success. They have decided to send their four ehitdern to the Butler schools as they think that the Butler schools are the best in the United States. Laura Wyatt spent a few years traveling in Europe and Africa. She visited Mr. and Mrs. Tumbledown while in Africa. While in Italy she became acquainted with the Royal Family. Shortly after her arrival in Butler, a prince of Italy came to Butler. We know not whether it was by previous ar- rangement or not. but they were married at Auburn. They returned to Italy where Laura intended to spend the remain- der of her life. Virginia Wartenbe, having finished her High School career decided to keep house for her father. In the summer of 1925 her father hired Robert Worthington to paint his barn and paper the house. While staying here he was attracted by Virginia's kindness toward him and they were married tin next summer. At first they settled down on the banks of St. Joseph river on tin old homestead. Later he received the job of painting the White House. They moved to Washington. 1). ('.. where they lived from that time on. A flare of light and the reel was ended. 191G THE CLASS OF JUNIOR CLi About three years ago a buueh of little wide-eyed inno- cents, who called themselves the class of 'sixteen, entered hope- fully upon their high school career. We were twenty-five in number, and were proudly confident that we were going to surpass any class ever yet in Butler High. We proved our serious natures by plunging at once into work, and showed our lack of deplorable frivolity by decorously avoiding such indis- cretions as class parties all during the year. By the end of a few months our verdancy had somewhat diminished, we were able to talk above a whisper in class and could find our way about the building without getting lost. Well do we all remember our adventures in the Botany room, under the patient instruction of Miss Kimmel, where in the at- mosphere of learning and disintegrated onions, we chopped our experiments up fine and viewed them with awe through a mi- croscope. We also went forth in search of wild flowers and dis- covered two whole specimens, besides decorating all the trees in the woods with our initials, and frightening Miss Kimmel to the point of hysterics with our carelessness in getting our feet wet. etc. By the end of the year, though greatly diminished in num- ber. we had acquired a reputation, and the whole school ad mired us. The next fall we boldly returned to high school with a vastly higher opinion of ourselves and a growing contempt for SS HISTORY all lesser mortals. We displayed a decided tendency to make things lively and interesting, and were determined, whatever we did. not to find life a hore. We had the honor of editing the first number of the B. H. S. Comet, which became a very popular little paper, and a credit to the institution. We maintained the philosophic at titude toward life, were kind with the little freshmen and tot erant with our instructors. Our only enemy was Caesar, and we didn’t allow worry about him to keep us awake nights. We had several parties during the year. The first a marsh mallow toast, we will always remember with cynical amuse- ment. because it was the night on which tin Juniors came tear ing out to raid us (clever people) and found us waiting to give them a cordial reception, hut the “eats” all gone. Their pirr pose was thwarted, just as the plans of those have always been thwarted who have tried to get ahead of the class of sixteen. Fifteen gay and festive beings, called Juniors this year, returned to school, with proud bearing and a goodly supply of chewing gum. We proceeded to illuminate the school, ami the underclassmen basked in the light of our countenances. It is remarkable how far we have gone toward attaining perfection. Tn fact, the Junior class is a wonder in every way. In it are .athletes, musicians, actors and actresses, mathematicians, sing crs. artists, everything. And the chief characteristic of this grand conglomeration of genius is the ever-present faculty, possessed by all. of “keeping things lively.” SOPHOMORE CLASS OF THE % SOPHOMON On the seventh day of September, we, as twenty-seven representatives of the word preen in the superlative degree, (but we didn't know it,) took our places in dear old R II. S. to take up our colors as the class of '17. At the very first we were taught to regard the upper class- men with respect and awe, and to take meekly all jeers and snubs. When we had become accustomed to our surroundings, the learned seniors, the observant juniors, and all the egotistic Soph’s and the Superintendent’s office, we called a class meet- ing and the following officers were elected: T. M. Long, Presi- dent; Pauline Hart, Vice President; Robert Sewell, Treasurer; Harold Blaker, Secretary; and Floyd Wineland, Editor. Our first year in high school saw but one party, and that was a FVesh.-Soph. affair at the home of Leroy Campbell. In due time we passed our green state and began to realize that there were a few things that we didn’t know, but we studied so zealously that (with the exception of a very few) we were ready to take a straight Sophomore course, which con- sists at present of Latin. Geometry, English and Ancient His- tory. HE IIISTORV This time the class met. some familiar faces were gone, but their places were filled by new members ready to work for old B. II. S. This time we numbered twenty-two and in a short time forgot we were ever such “things” as Freshmen. This year we had a new set of teachers to worry and torment, but at that they say we‘re the best behaved class in the school, (of course we're proud of that.) At the first class meeting the officers were elected as follows: T. M. Long. President; Lloyd Clay. Vice President; Floyd Wineland, Secretary and Treasurer: Harold Blaker. Editor. Miss Spangler was chosen class teacher and it was her duty to remind us of our manners while we were “out.” Only one class party, as yet, has been held this year, this being at the home of Homer Tinney where we all enjoyed our- selves immensely. We imagine that, up to the present time, we may have had the reputation of being a little slow, but Whoopee!! when we get started we’re sure to leave a red hot trail. 0 we’re right there! and our class promises to be one of the largest that ever took leave of B. II. S and we sincerely hope that it may be the most useful to the world. (yo) ObtD THE OF 1918 FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY One fine September morning in the year of 1914. from schools all over the county, there came to the B. II. S. a Fresh- men class of twenty-five. Tin teachers being new. as well as the scholars, it was difficult for us. as a class, to become accus- tomed to the regulations. We also found the work to be very different from that which we had pursued in the grades. N'ot-with-standing these handicaps, (however.) the pro- gress of the class was good: Two pupils dropped out, and no others came in. the class in general prospered and seemed to take a great interest in the work. At the first class meeting the following officers were elected : President. Winona Mickey; Vice President. Ifarold .Johnson: Secretary. Fay Olds; Treasurer. Mary Bovliek: Editor. William Kakright. THE LADDER OF FAME Freshman Class Poem We an a jolly working band. “Success is our aim; We now are on the lower round Of the ladder known as fame. Some say the world owes us a living. I don’t think that quite right; To occupy a place in life. We must not shrink the fight. The fight is on. wo must not shrink. Wo will not yoild or stop; Although wo now nro noar tho foot. We’ro gazing at tho top. Wo aro hound to win by pationt toil. Although now noar tho ground: Wo know tlio goal cannot bo roachod By one strido, or a bound. Our toaohors guide us on our way. And will not lot us drop: And aid us with those cheering words. “There’s room up at tho top.” With parents dear, and country free. Which wo aro thankful for: Our task is light, our sloop is rest.

And for. “Old Glory” too. THE BOTANY CLASS Cnder directions of Miss Truth Spangler. T1IK PHYSICS CLASS. Cmlcr direction of Miss Spangler. PHYSICS Our course in Physics. or Natural Science, is taken up in tin senior year; the whole year being {riven to the subject. The work ineliules the subjects of Solids. Fluids. Heat. Sound. Electricity and Light. They are taken in the order as {riven, so that Electricity will come in the months when the air is dry ami fitted for electrical experiments; and Light will come in the months of spring when there is plenty of sunshine. The course consists of class work averaging three to four hours a week ami individual laboratory work covering about three hours a week. The text book used this year is Headley’s Physics. Each pupil is required to keep a note book in connection with the text. We do not make use of a laboratory manual. The aim has been to provide the study, that shall present the fundamental principles of the subject of Physics that will have application to every-day life, so that every pupil may ' gain some good from it whether he intends to finish his edu- cation in the high school or go on to Collejie. THE DOMESTIC SCIENCE CLASS I’nder dir etion of Miss Hazel Harrison. This year a novel departure from the usual curriculum of B. H. S. has been made in the establishment of the Domestic Science Department. The Domestic Science labratory is as nearly up-to-date in its equipment as is possible under present conditions. Our aim is to offer in the ensuing years a course which embraces and in- cludes economic and scientific study of the following subjects: Food principles, including classification of foods, economic and nutritive value of foods, working, planning and serving of menus and the relation of foods to the needs of the body. Already the realization of the long-hoped-for addition to the High School is appreciated and we expect more improve- ments along this line in the future. THE MANUAL TRAINING (’LASS MANUAL, TRAINING The addition of a Manual Training department to the cur- riculum of the public school has broadened the possibilities of education. ihe child is a social and biological creature as well as an animal that can learn. All his interests, powers and instincts should, therefore, be utilized in the process of education. It has been shown, for example, that the child can better be intro- duced to the world of knowledge and things through his ac- tivity and experience than through the avenue of books: that most children find themselves better, through clay, woodwork, ♦•te.. than through the reading of books; that constructive work motivates all the other school work. This gives justification for the industrial and prevocational work in the public schools. 1 urthermore, these subjects, manual training, domestic science, etc., help to overcome the isolation, which at present exists between school and life. If rightly studied, the sub- jects have an educational value equal if not superior to most of the traditional subjects. In addition, they give pupils help in making a right and intelligent choice of an occupation. The Manual Training department of the Butler Schools, at present, is not thoroughly equipped and prepared to do all that is possible, but it is growing steadily and within another year or two, it is hoped, that this department will be on an equality with other schools of its size. ATHLETICS In recent years athletics have come to occupy a place of supreme importance in the high school, and in fact are regard- ed as one of the necessary things. They serve as a great in- centive to an up-to-date school. This has come about, not only because of the recreation ami pleasure they afford to the one who takes part in them, but because of the development of the physical body that is brought about thereby. We cannot expect good minds with- out good, sound physical bodies. As we look back at the old Greeks, who were the leaders in the ancient world and have given us so much in all lines of culture, we find that the first attention was given to the physical development: and the men- tal. naturally, followed. Is it not a rational demand that we have the necessary c- quipment for the development of the physical, since it is an accepted fact that the physical development must accompany if not proceed the mental! It is with this idea in mind that we send out a plea for a gymnasium. The hall in which we play basket ball, is not fitted in any way for athletics of any sort, ('annot public sentiment, aided by generosity, help ns meet this need and bring it to pass that in the near future a hall may be erected that the citizens of Butler and the B. II. S. can be proud of. and while we are boosting for a BIGGER, BETTER BUTLER let us boost for BIGGER. BETTER ATHLETICS. «vw C,9t'T LeRoy Campbell, Galen Craun, Willard Smurr, Ray Irnhof. Ed Swift, Clyde Ginder. THE BOYS BASKET BALL TEAM HOYS’ BASKET HALL The pupils of the B. H. S. have taken more interest in Basket Ball than any other sport. It has been thru the pood efforts of the teachers and pupils that we have had good teams for the last three years. It has been very difficult at times to practice because of the condition of the hall, but the teams merely smiled and went ahead. The record of the 1912-13 was 6 games won, 3 lost. 1913-14 7 games won, 5 lost. Altho the percentage of the last year is not so good it must be remembered that they played more games away from home than at home. A visiting team must be much superior to the home team in order to win. There is fine material in the B. II. S. for another year and there is no reason why the B. H. S. should not have one of the best teams in Northern Indiana.

The girls were asked to organize a team which they did and were successful in many games. Getting the girls to practice was sometimes difficult but that may he explained by having so poor a place in which to play. A better place is hop- ed for in the near future. The first year the team was exceptionally strong for be- ginners. Much praise for the good work is due Mildred Tom- linson, center and captain. Each year the scores have more than equaled those of their opponents and sometimes, two or three times doubling theirs. Butler 18 Ligonier .... 9 Butler Auburn .... Butler 10 Auburn ....

Much interest has been taken in all branches of this work. The chorus class consists of ninety voices and they use part songs and choruses. Among those studied an the follow- ing: “Hail. Alma Mater” from Wagner’s opera. “Taunhaus- cr.” ‘Soldier’s Chorus” by Qounod. “The Miller’s Wooing.” by Eaton Failing. “The Anvil Chorus.” from “II Trovatore. “Lovely Night. O Tender Night,” by Offenbach. “The Bridal Chorus,” from “The Rose Maiden.” Aside from these they use “The Beacon Song Book,” “Familiar Song Classics,” by famous composers and numerous codas. Iu connection with this chorus work tin lives of the old composers have been studied. Mozart. Handel. Haydn. Chopin. Mendelssohn and Beethoven are among those discussed. The stories of the operas, written by the old masters, have been made our own and though we do not have the opportunity of seeing them dramatized, still we can know and become fa- miliar with their wonderful arios. Don Giovanni. Faust, Taun- hauser. The Bohemian Girl, Lohengrin. Fidelio ami The Master Singers of Xuremburg are among those read. Two operettas have been given by the high school pupils during the past two years. Both were successful in every way and “The Windmills of Holland“ and Mr. Bob” will always remain as dear memories of high school days. THE HIGH SCHOOL QUARTETTE THIS HIGH SCHOOL PLAY CASTE OF CHARACTERS Kathrine. a charming young lady—Doris Shumaker. Rebecca, a maiden spinster, who lias a failing for cats—Rose Adams. Jenkins, the butler—Loyd Clay. Patty, the maid, an enthusiast of the drama—Winifred Wiley. “Bob,” Kitty’s guest—Ruth Galahan. Mr. Brown, lawyer—Edward Swift. Philip. Kitty’s cousin—Gerald Dohm. SYNOPSIS “Mr. Bob,” is a pleasing little comedy, full of wit from be- ginning to end. Miss Kitty, a charming young girl is expect- ing a dear friend, whom she has nicknamed “Bob.” to visit her. Philip, her cousin, is also expecting his friend. Mr. Roy- son. In the meantime a member of the law firm, having deal- ings with the house, appears. lie is a very weak specimen of a man. Philip, thinking Kitty’s friend a man takes the lawyer to be he. Kitty thinks he is Philip’s friend. Miss Becky, the mistress of the house, takes him to be an architect, secretly sent for and commands him to tell no one who he is. After much confusion and many humorous entanglements, in which Patty, the maid, and Jenkins, the butler, figure greatly. Mat- ters are finally adjusted and all ends with a splendid climax. The play was splendidly staged and well received, and much commented on by all concerned. A neat little sum was put aside to be used for the definite benefit of the high school. THE STUDENT’S TALK The high school student gave a groan ami a shake. Scratched his aching head, and thus he spake: “Oh my tale is long, and my tale is sad. And my heart is oppressed and sore. But listen you may. if you’ll go right away. And never disturb me more. ‘ Oh 1 came from the valley of Not-So-Wise. In the country of I-Don’t-Know: There did I dwell, all happy and well In the days of the long ago. “But they bore me away, one bright Spring day. When the valley with sunshine was filled. And they bore me here, all shaking with fear And now I am almost killed! “They said I must never whisper a bit, And woe! to the student who smiled; I must go my way. day after day. Never playing, for such things were—wild! “My life, they said, must be serious work In the paths of the So-and-So, They never allowed me to wander about Where the frivolous hoodlums go. So 1 went through the forest of Botany. Where the mushroom doth abide. Where the cold dank cladojhora creeps and clings On the slimy ocean side. “And I’ve struggled with awful monsters. Horrible, grotesque, fantastic. The dreaded Ablative Absolute And the Second Paraphrastic. At the close of my Freshman year I emerged, all sickly and yellow. With a crook in my back and a pain in my sale; A sadder,and yet wiser fellow! “A Sophomore, I was dragged along By Algebra’s relentless hand. Through Fractions, Quadratics and Radicals, The gloomiest spots in the land. “My brain a tumult and tangle ami ache I paused, but they gave me no peace. 1 must needs survey, as I passed that way The granduer of Rome and the glory of Greece. I fought with the supine and Substantive Clause And wrote themes day and night: While Hyperbole near haunted me So dreary was my plight. A miserable wreck I was held in check. Because marvelously self-controlled I left my Sophomore year at last No longer young—but old ! My Junior year—alas—alack! i lit paused to drop a tear) You show surprise—my poor weak eyes Are apt to fail me liert?! ’Oli Cicero! Oh Cicero! How could you be so cruel ? You led me away. far. far astray. And made me play the fool! Stumbling into a gloomy pool As its murky waters splashed. 1 discovered that something was holding me tli� re. And with horror was abashed. For 1 was ensnared by the tenacles I was in the.carnivorous hold. Of that terrible octopus. Geometry And my heart was heavy and cold. And Poe and his raven came to sneer And to chuckle—‘Nevermore!’ As 1 writhed in the throes of the grim Black Death And fought in the Hundred Year’s War. Oh thin and worn and limp and weak I crept from my Junior year, Oh life was no longer life to me For all my hopes were sere! • A Senior at last, o’er the jagged rocks Of Physics 1 strove to pass. But 1 fell and was cut all to pieces In my effort to lead the class. • Struggling and stumbling, through bog. o’er crag While full of an awful fear, 1 at last came out on this lone grey peak Dismal, cold and drear. •‘As 1 looked about. I gave a shout While the echoes answered to mock; ('an this be my journey's end' 1 cried, This desert of barren rock?’ • My tale is done, now leave me alone I want no one around. You worry me. and don't you see No joy can here be found? So 1 left the student to solitude And mused on my homeward way On what the poor fellow had told to me On that memorial day. And I said to myself. “None of that for me I here make up my mind. That if there's one thing altogether fierce It’s just doing nothing but grind! BUTIJSU HICill SC Class of 73 J. S. Otis 0. Z.

LOWE, Agent INDIANA I The Popularity of Any City is Never an Accident Butler did not become popular by accident, but gained its favor and pat- ronage by satisfying the needs and wants of its patrons by big and well selec- ted stocks of merchandise.
