Butler High School - Tropaeum Yearbook (Butler, IN)

Text from Pages 1 - 114 of the 1920 volume:

INTUC DUCTI( � FOR SEVERAL YEARS the publication of an annual lias not been attempted by the graduating class of Butler High Se boot, which was partly due to war conditions. However, the present year the Senior Class is much larger than any before and is desirous of accomplishing bigger things. This book is a result of our efforts to place before the people a history of our class and a record of the school for the past few years. WE HAVE also attempted to enclose a history of the alumni and of our former teachers. We hope our efforts have brought forth pleasing re- sults. But our success can only be measured by the reader s judgment. —Editor. SUPT. ELBERT E. DAY DEDICATION To Svpt.

On the eighth day of September, in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and sixteen, it came to pass that forty-two innocent, wide-eyed Freshies passed from the tribulations and trials of the common schools into the joys and sorrows of the Butler High School. And it so happened that these Freshies chose for their leader one Ralph Mutzfeld, who, lamenting, led them through the first year of their trials. And it also came to pass that these Freshies selected for their class flower, the black-eyed Susan, and for their colors, black and old gold. And these Freshies went unto many parties, at which they partook of weinies, toasted marsh-mallows, pickles, and like delicacies. CHAPTER II. And it also can.e to pass that at the beginning of the next term, with the loss of a few members along the wayside, these same Freshies passed into B. H. S. as Sophomores. The nation also claimed two members, Carrol Hollinger and Floyd Handy, in that most unholy pursuit, war. It so happened that one Madge McClellan was chosen as class leader, and her disciples willingly (?) followed her through the rough sea of English, His- tory. Caesar and Algebra II. And it came to pass that, one night, these disciples followed their leader into the wilderness of Wartenbee's Grove, beside the still waters of the River St. Joe. where after a fast of six long hours, they feasted upon numerous watermelons, which seemed to have dropped from the skies, so miraculously did they appear. CHAPTER HI. And it came to pass that these Sophomores went yet a step higher and be- came Juniors of exceptional ability. Ann it so happened that after their first class meeting, a certain Ora Blaker came to be known as their class president. And as the Juniors came unto the rough sea of English, History Book- keeping. and Geometry, their leader smote upon the rock of know-it-all the sea divided, and the Juniors passed through unscathed. And it came to pass that these Juniors were known in all the athletic and social affairs of the school. It so happened that when a Junior appeared on thejiasket ball floor, the opposing team said all in one breath. “We are beat- en,” and immediately sank into oblivion. CHAPTER IV. And when the Juniors became Seniors, it came to pass that, by their strict rules, the faculty took upon themselves to take all the joy out of the Senior class. But this class possessed the saving sense of humor and so escaped the bad (and good) effects of the aforesaid rules. This band of twenty-five faithful followers of good, chose Helen Smurr to guide them to the end of the’r high school career. And it came to pass that the class of ’20 went out into the world amid great rejoicing (and thankfulness on the part of the faculty) that their career in Butler High School was ended. —A. B. ’20 SENIOR CLASS PHOFHECY In the famous Newville Daily News in the month of May of the year 1930 there m’ght have been seen the following flaming headlines and the details of a terrible crime. “Lost Strayed or Stolen—A monkey owned by Mrs. Ralph Mutzfeld, last seen near his home on West Craton Avenue. Investigation having been made with no trace of the unfortunate found, all evidence points toward an ab- duction. “Mr. Mutzfeld is a well known citizen of Butler. Indiana, having engaged in the harness and farming machinery business for several years. Mr. Mutzfeld was a member of the class of ’20 of B. II. S. and the year after leaving high school, married Miss Marjorie Waterman, also a '20 graduate of B. If. S. It has now been twenty years since that terrible crime was committed, and perhaps all but the immediate family of the departed have ceased to wonder concerning the mystery. I, myself, had almost entirely forgotten the incident, when one morning an old man appeared at my office door, requesting that he be allowed to tell me a story which he assured me would be of great interest to me. Naturally I could not refuse so urgent a request and here is the result of the interview. “Although you perhaps do not remember me yet I was once one of your own kind, prosperous energetic and useful citizens. Abut twenty years ago a dreadful misfortune befell me and until now I have been kept in seclusion with no other entertainments than Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress, Modern Civics, and Caesar’s Gallic War. Upon my release I appeared in this city, learning that you were in the city 1 decided to come and ask your advice concerning whether I should go home and enjoy my former life or continue traveling about until my days should be ended. I had been watching the speaker during this recital until by his gestures, and by his mumbling yet spirited talk I recognized him to be no other than my class mate Ralph Mutzfeld—or the stolen Monkey. I decided that I would not let him know that I had discovered his identity so that he could continue his narrative without interruption. “You will probably understand my hopeless outlook on life,” he continu- ed, “when T relate to you the changes which have been wrought in the lives and appearances of my associates since my departure from civilization. T do not know how I was conveyed back to the civilized world but suddenly I found myself in New York City. Being anxious to see some of the wonders of the city, I decided to go on a tour. Upon going thru one of the leading theatre districts, I was attracted by the following announcement on the advertising boards of one of the most popular theatres in the city. “The Voice Invisible!!! Carrie Vondizzimi!!!! “A lady who once having a singing voice of wonderful possibility is now without the use of this voice and also of her power of speech, due to her mod- est and silent behavior during her childhood and high school life. Mrs Vondizzimi always very proficient in pantomine will exhibit her arts along that line. Mr. Vondizzimi, her husband, considered the leanest man in the world is also a sight worth seeing.” “In some compelling way I was attracted by this advertisement and decid- ed that I would go in and see this queer performance. The performers had already commenced to demonstrate their arts when I arrived, and I soon rec- ognized them as being no other than my two old classmates Louise Willock and Ralph Campbell. Due to her enormous size. Louise was scarcely recog- nizable but due to her old time perseverance she had evidently determined to continue her pantomine entertainments even though her fabulous proportions prohibited graceful movements. But what came next was the saddest sight of all. The tears streamed from my eyes as 1 gazed upon this apparition who had once been the most robust fellow of my class in B. II. S. He had diminished in size until he was but a shadow of his former self. After the play, I had a little talk with Ralph and he told me that in the evenings he helped Louise with her work and during the day time he worked on his Fativious Fliver which he expected to demonstrate in the year of 1953. He could not tell why he had become such a dwarfish creature but he attributed it to the unkindness of nature. After this disappointing revelation I decided that I had seen enough of New York life and thought I would go back to my own home town and see what changes had been brought about there. Upon hurrying into the street and on my way to the depot I was suddenly struck by some vehicle and knew nothing more until I opened my eyes and found a lady in a nurses uniform standing over me. I recognized this lady at once as Clara Panhuysen and as soon as I gained sufficient strength I told her my name. She was very much surprised at seeing me after all the years that had elapsed since our last meet- ing and commenced to tell me her life’s history. After leaving high school she had engaged in commercial work, but she soon became dissatisfied as she long- ed to be of some benefit to the sick and afflicted, so she had launched upon a nurse’s career. She seemed especially fitted for her work and under her ex- perienced care, I was soon able to leave the hospital. After leaving the hospital, I immediately started to Butler and as I came home through Ft. Wayne 1 decided to stop in that city for a short time. As I came from the train, the first person who attracted my attention was a girl whom 1 remembered as Lelah Alwood, and by her side was a man whom 1 rec- ognized as no other than that “freshie” who had always been at her side dur- ing the last year of her career in B. II. S. 1 introduced myself to them. During a recital of my experiences since leaving high school, I soon realized that their thoughts were far from my conversation and upon asking them the cause they could no longer conceal the great secret. They told me that this was their wedding day and that as Homer had forgotten the ring, they were hurrying to make that purchase. At this disclosure I immediately decided to help cele- brate the event and at their invitation accompanied them to a large jewelry store. After the selection of the ring had been made and Lelah and Homer had left the store, I introduced myself to the proprietor whom I recignized as Hubert Doud. Hubert and I had a pleasant time talking of what had trans- pired since our departure from high school and he told me of his successful venture in the jewelers trade. I asked Hubert concerning Homer and Lelah’s delayed marriage and lie told me that Homer had been compelled to wait until he graduated from high school, and then the decision that he would first make a successful start in some business had postponed their marriage until rather late in life. As I had only intended to make a short stay in Ft. Wayne I immediately started to Butler and after a ride of about one hour, arrived in that city. I no- ticed with great satisfaction that Butler had greatly increased in size and when I inquired about the high school I learned that it had correspondingly grown since a fine new building had been erected an a large choice of courses was offered. Hearing so much concerning the school, I decided to visit my alma mater first of all. 1 found Lmma Brown as teacher of sermonizing and of its advantages, a position which 1 decided was very fitting and proper, as in high school, we, her poor fellow classmates, had more than once been swamped by her discourses and incomprehensible vocabulary. Helen Smurr was also teaching in the high school with the subjects of advanced commercial arithmetic, Latin and Greek as her work. Upon interviewing the superin- tendent of the school, I found that both Emma and Helen had given excellent satisfaction. I next visited the down town districts where a man in a lumber wagon drew my attention. The person was evidently a farmer and upon closer ob- servation I recognized him as Loren Jennings. He seemed to recognize me and after inquiring my name, asked me to go home and spend the evening with him. As I was very anxious to renew friendship with my old acquaintances I readily consented to his plan and we were on our way. After we had ridden about four miles, he drew rein in front of a beautiful country home which he told me belonged to him. As 1 followed Loren to the house, I noticed a lady in the yard feeding chickens, whom I judged was about fifty years of age. T asked who this lady might be and he told me that, as I would probably remem- ber, he had always considered the Violet to be the sweetest flower that grew, and at last he had found and kept this one for his own. I spent the evening with Violet and Loren and in the course of the evening their children, three in num- ber, came trooping home from school. I asked them questions concerning their teacher, whom they said was Hazel Dohner and from their praise of her merits I decided that she must have made great success in her chosen profes- sion. Feeling happy to find Violet and Loren so happily situated, the next morning I started back to the city. I decided to walk to Butler as the air was so fresh and pure I thought it would help me to regain my former good health. I had gone several miles, when I observed in the distance two farm houses, which were facing one another. As I came nearer 1 noticed two ladies stand- ing near a gate of the house on the right side of the road, conversing with one another. As I passed I heard a familiar voice and upon looking more closely at the lady who was then talking, I recognized Mildred Arford. Immediately I thought of Miriam Bryant and upon looking at the other lady I recognized Miriam. Both the ladies had very beautiful homes and seemed very happy in their home life. After having a short but pleasant visit with them I again resumed my walk to the city. I had gone perhaps a half of a mile when I came to a large garage. Thinking I needed a little rest I decided to stop here. As soon as I entered the building I noticed a man whom I supposed was the manager of the establishment. As I watched his movements I soon recognized him as Leland Alwood and upon discovering this I immediately made known my identity. He seemed very much pleased to see me and gave me a portion of his invalu- able time, in which he told me his life’s history. After leaving high school he had decided to specialize in mechanics and had become prosperous enough to own and operate this fine garage. I asked Leland concerning Gilbert Boyd and found that he was now a very successful farmer, having a fine farm with all the modern improvements. After leaving Leland I soon arrived in Butler. As the next day was Sunday I determined to go to church. As I entered the church a man was singing. I was attracted by his beautiful voice and inquiring the name of the singer, I was told that this man was Ora Blaker and that lie was considered the world’s greatest evangelistic singer. It was unusual for him to come to cities even the size of Butler but for the sake of his former connection with the town he had condescended to come and let the people of Butler enjoy the beauty of his voice. After the services were over 1 managed to have a little talk with Ora. 1 asked him what had become of Kermit Oberlin, and he said that Kermit who was then traveling with a renowned Chautuaqua, was specializing in minstrel work in which he was very successful. A few days later, hearing that Madge McClellan was residing in Auburn I decided to go there aand learn what she had been doing since leaving high school. Upon arriving in the city, I inquired concerning her whereabouts but no one seemed to know anything about Madge McClellan. I had almost de- cided to give up the search when I noticed a lady going up the steps of a beau- tiful dwelling. I instantly recognized this lady as Dorothy Ilavertsoek. and after telling her my name I inquired what she had done since leaving school. She told me that after laving school she had married a farmer near B------and was now enjoying the pleasures of a happy farm life. She said she had come to the city to deliver some fresh farm produce to an old school friend. Before I had time to inquire who this school friend might be the lady herself appear- ed at the door. Madge recognized me. for it was no other than Madge Mc- Clellan. also immediately. She invited me into the house and commenced tell- ing me what she had been do’ng s nee leaving dear old B. II. S. She had spent two years teaching school after which she decided to enter the dressmaking profession. However soon becoming dissatisfied with this work she was mar- ried to the man whom all her classmates knew had been her choice, during the last year of her high school career. After spending a few delightful hours with Madge, T decided to return to Butler again as my mission to Auburn had been fulfilled. As I passed down the street my attention was drawn to two boys one tall and rather dark com- plexioned the other much shorter and of slightly lighter complexion. The boys seemed to be between eighteen and twenty years of age. As I observed the lads more closely, 1 thought that they surely must be Otis and Edson the pals inseparable. Then 1 remembered that thirty years must have made great changes in the appearances of my former classmates. I decided, however, to learn more corncerning these boys and followed them until they were about to enter a beautiful home, when I called to them and asked the taller of the fellows where bis father worked. He told me very politely that he would es- cort me to his fathers office if I wished him to do so. I gave my consent and after a short walk we came to a large building, over the entrance to which the words, Fisher Klinkel, Attorneys at Law, were written. I walked in boldly now fully determined that my suspicions had been correct. After a short parley with an office boy I was admitted to the main office. As I entered the room I saw approaching me Edson Klinkel, not as I had known him in school but still bearing close resemblance to his former self. Seeing that he did not recognize me I told him my name, and while we were enjoying a happy re- union talking over old times, Otis, the other member of the firm entered. The boys then told me that after leaving high school they had studied law and had been very successful in their chosen profession. Edson said if I would go home with him he still had a wonderful surprise in store for me. 1, happy to be with my old friends readily consented to go home with him. At the close of the afternoon we went immediately to Edson’s home where I met his smiling wife no other than Elizabeth Mondhank. While we three were busy talking of days gone by, guests were announced and presently Otis entered with bis surprise, Anna Ball. I learned that the lives of both ladies had been well and usefully spent in caring for their families, and 1 could see by the happy faces of all concerned that their duty had been well performed. As I have now told you of the prosperity of all of my other classmates and seeing you and your husband carrying on such a great work in capacity of physicians, I would like to ask your advice concerning whether or not I shall return to my wife and resume my former life or just continue in the way that I have been going until my days shall be ended.” I advised him to by all means follow the former course and in a few days I learned by a letter from him that he had followed my advice and was again a happy contented man.

JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY Three years ago about forty solemn aand sedate Freshmen entered the B. II. S. Assembly Room to try to teach the upper class men a little sense. This did not seem to meet the approval of the latter, however, and they were soon trying to wreak vengeance upon us poor, struggling little Freshmen. We tried to do our best, and only had one party during the whole year, which consisted of a “weenie” roast, to which our never-to-be-forgotten Miss Galpin accom- panied us. Our bright outlook was soon darkened on Thanksgiving day, by the death of our beloved class president, Millard Tyson, and we began our class anew, with Marcel Swift as president. lie continued with us thruout our Sophomore and Junior years, and led 11s thru many grand and glorious combats. As Sophomores, we had lost a few of our classmates, but still had enough to tackle Caesar in full force, and we are very proud to say that we have ac- complished this task with all possible honors. After the first half of the year was over, we began our career in Geometry, and many were our sleepless nights when we were thinking of those demonstrations for the following day. But we soon overcame this timidity, as is characteristic of us, and were pre- pared for the long siege when we would be Juniors. Byt this time we were known as the best class in school, even by Prof Day, and well pleased by this mark of favor, we decided on a progressive Junior year. During our stay here as Juniors we have kept up our standard of success, hnd inasmuch as our seats are near those of the Seniors, you can hardly crit- icize us for the little fun wTe revel in now and then. We are planning on a big year when we are Seniors, and will try to make up for anything which we may have thus far overlooked. Just watch us next year to see us exit from Butler High ” flags flying—thirty strong and in splendid and imposing array. G. C. ’21. In the fall of the year of nineteen hundred seventeen we started for Butler High with little knowledge, except our A. B. C.’s and multiplication tables. We all had our notions as to what high school would be, but were all greatly disappointed, especially when we learned that the teachers were for- ever carrying grade books in order that they might set down the ciphers, which din’t seem to raise the average. During the year the high school has a ticket selling contest in which we were victorious without any special effort. The only other events of impor- tance were one class party and the final examinations. The second year several of our members, apparently, forgot when school began. At least they never returned. This together with the fact that sev- eral had been put out of the race the previous year by red marks, made the class considerably smaller. Despite the efforts of red marks to diminish the class the second year, with the addition of a few new pupils, the class enrollment remained nearly the same. The class showed its patriotism by contributions to the different war funds and by the number of members who purchased bonds and War Saving Stamps. This year the class has an enrollment of thirty, only one or two who start- ed the term haaving quit. The majority are doing their share in making work for the teachers. The class is doing its share in athletics. It has several members on the two basket ball teams. So far the year has been uneventful with the exception of the usual ex- aminations and a bake sale early in the term. A little later we expect to give a banquet in honor of the Seniors. G.

HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF ’22 The hardest thing required of a Sophomore class, is to write a history so filled with long, dignified words that the Seniors will be properly impressed by their (the Sophomore’s supposed knowledge. Thirty-one exceedingly green and nervous Freshmen entered the Butler High School on September 8. 1918. We tried to appear dignified but, of course, we could not. Although we lost three of our number during the year, we were glad to have five new members enter. We held a class meeting and elected Leo Shumaker President, Foster Poland Vice President, Blanche Crabbs, Secretary and Treasurer, and chose Miss Thomas for our Freshman class teacher. Old rose and gold were chosen for our class colors and the rose for our class flower. We had several social engagements during the year, the first being a pot luck supper at the home of Ruth Capp and the second a farewell dinner for “Anti” on the last day of school During the year we were constantly teased and ridiculed by the Sopho- mores, Juniors and Seniors but we were a live, progressive class and were de- terimned not to be discouraged. When we entered our Sophomore year we could understand how those of the preceding year had felt toward us. We have twenty-seven members this year and although we haven’t as many as we had last year, we think that quality atones for quantity. Elmon Vernier has successfully succeeded “Doc” as our class president. Ruth Capp is our Vice President, Marjorie Graf, Secretary and Treasurer and Miss Etter our class teacher. Every class that has come before us and every one to come, from now on, has claimed and will claim to be the finest class to enter the B. II. S. So it would be useless to claim that reputation for ours class. But-actions speak louder than words. D. S. ’22.

FRESHMAN CLASS One September morning to the surprise of the Sophomores, Jun.ors and Seniors of Butler Ilipli School, a large claass of forty-three pupils entered the assembly room. These Freshmen came walking in slowly and were very much surprised to see a blackboard in the school room. They were tamed however, when real work began. Sixteen came from the city of Butler and twenty- seven from the country. Seven out of forty-three left our class, so we have thirty-six members. We had several class meetings the first of the year, in which we elected officers. Ilomer Campbell was elected president, Wilbur Raney secretary and treasurer and Linieol Devore, vice president. Our vice president has since left school, so we are without one. Miss Sumption is our class teacher. Our colors are black and blue and our motto is, “Every kick’s a boost.” Class dues were also voted on at one of these meetings. We have been very successful in our class in spite of the fact that seven members left us. The fate of our class is a happy one as we see it now. We have many good opportunities as the methods of teaching are being improved. We admit that the title “Freshman” well names us. However, without any apologies we are a class with expectations of a bright and happy future. An optimistic, No! more than that, a pep-ti-mistic class. Class of ’23.

SOCIAL THE CLASS OF ’20 ENTERTAIN THE CLASS OF 19 The Junior-Senior banquet was held Tuesday evening, May 6 at Hotel Butler. Fifty-two places were set for the Seniors, Juniors and the high school faculty and their wives. The reception room was gay with the Junior colors, orange and black; and the bevy of girls reminded one of a huge banquet, so brilliant were they in their veri-colored party gowns. At 6:30 the company marched to the dining room where a pleasurable i ne ensued while they found their place can1;. 1 he Senior class colors of red and white were beautifully carried out in the color scheme of the room. At each place was a red nut cup and a red rose. The following menu was served by six Sophomore girls in compliment to the Junior class, Opal Shumaker, Gladys Cook, Laura Smith, Gretchen Ru- deck, Helen Harding. Francena Lowe and Mildred Oberlin, all of whom were dressed in white: First Course—Consumme and wafer. Second Course—Creamed chicken, masahed potatoes, pea patties, lettuce salad, rolls and olives. Second Course—Creamed chicken, mashed potatoes, pea patties, lettuce Fourth Course—Sherbet, cake and coffee. Miss Sumption most charmingly acquitted herself as toastmistress of the evening. The Junior president, Ora Blaker gave the welcome address, a par- ody on the Gettysburg address. The Senior president, Miss Mabel Raney, responding by Dreams, which proved a delightful class prophecy. Then came speeches from some of the Seniors; Lois Powers had for her subject, Turn Back the Universe aand give me Yesterdaay, which was in the nature of a farewell to school days. Frank Ramey talked on Smiles, and proved himself and able interpreter of the Smiles of his teachers and classmates. Margaret Vernier talked on the subject, Till We Meet Again, which touched on the in- timacies of school days. The concert was followed by a storm, the following subject being discussed: Prof Day, The Weather Vane; Mr. Rakestraw, Light- ning; Miss Thomas, Ilail; Miss Coleman, Sunshine and Miss Mayer, Rainbow, of whom it is avered, she hath found the pot of gold, which is hidden at the end. Miss Mayer’s toast was unique in that she had set it to the music of an old ballad and sang it to the delight of all. The Senior class were delighted with the evening's pleasures, feeling that the Juniors had spared neither pains or expense to show them a delightful evening. M. W. '20. THE FRESHMEN ENTERTAIN At the time when we were thought to be rather timid, shy Freshmen, but when we were throwing oft’ our cloak of timidity more than our upper class- men thought, we decided to indulge in one of the fads of the times, and have a “marshmallow and weenie roast.” At the same time, being in a rather gen- erous mood, we decided to invite the members ot the Sophomore class to share our sport with us. The necessary plans and preparations having been duly made, everyone looked forward to the roast in Showalter’s woods with high expectations for a good time. When the eventful day arrived, however, it brought with it a slow drizzly rain. Consequently the Freshmen looked sad and gloomy as they assembled in their repective places on the morning of the to-be eventful day. The topic for discussion for the day was, “What shall we do? We could not brook the idea of giving up the event entirely. Finally some one suggested the brilliant idea that we have the roast in the Domestic Science room, and let the kerosene oil stove play the role of bonfires. This suggestion seemed to appeal favorably to everybody, so we took our guests and eats to the good old kitchen and there proceeded with the merrymaking. When the eats had all disappeared, the shades of darkness were approach- ing and it was time for us to depart to our homes each one declared that they couldn’t have spent a more pleasant evening. So in spite of the rain, the event was as enjoyable as had been anticipated. M. M. ’20. WE ENTERTAIN THE G. A. R.'S When our class was still in the Freshman stage, we decided to give our old friends, the G. A. R.’s an old-fashioned entertainment and feed, to show our respect and esteem for them. Accordingly we invited them to the school house and proceeded to make them feel at home and welcome. A fine program was rendered by members of the school, the old patriotic songs were sung and the old soldiers gave some very fine talks, which were very much appreciated. After the program, the Domestic Science girls treated them to a dainty lunch, which disappeared in an incredibly short space of time. Immediately aftei lunch they withdrew, declaring they had had a fine time and leaving the school their best wishes for continued prosperity. WATERMELON TIME AND THE ’20’S OF B. H. S. When we, the class of 1920 were Sophomore, we decided to depart a little from the sterner and more studious aspects of our school life and divert our minds by having a real party. A class meeting was called and at this meeting we decided that the place of the party should be at Wartenbee’s Grove, which is a lovely maple grove on the banks of the St. Joseph river. As the distance was about six miles, we decided to go in automobiles which were to be donated by the members of the class. We started about four thirty o’colek in the afternoon, Mr. Nash, our class teacher accompanying us as chaperone. We arrived at the grove a little while before darkness had fallen, and the boys immediately kindled two roaring fires in the hollows of two old stumps. After the tires were burning brightly, we proceeded to roast the “oodles” of marshmallows and weenies with which we had provided ourselves. After we had eaten all that our small and delicate appetites called for. of the weenies and marshmallows, we of course began hunt- ing around to see what else might tempt our intemperate appetites. In some miraculous way we discovered that there were certainly water- melons in that vicinity, and though supernatural as it may seem, almost as soon as we had thought of them, there appeared great green melons fairily bursting to be eaten. For fear some one may think wrongly in this matter, let me say here, that no one being there and knowing the circumstances could possibly in any way connect the actions of our angelic boys and the appear- ance of those melons. As far as we were concerned it was enough joy and pleasure just having that delicious fruit near us without inquiring the whys and wherefores. After having finished eating, we played games until we were tired, then started back to Butler, all arriving in fine spirits and thinking that we would never forget that party or those delicious melons. B. H. S. ENTERTAINS At the last moment just before Thanksgiving our brilliant Seniors decided to surprise the lower classes by ginving a grand program. Accordingly, they set to work with a will and the result spoke for itself—it certaiidy Avas grand. The musical numbers Avere exceptionally good, speaking Avell for the musical abiiity of the Senior class. Another feature A diich Avas no less appreciated Avas the impersonation of the faculty—the large audience declared it Avas as good as a show. Our boys, too, shone brightly in a Negro Male Quartette, AA'here they fairly burst with meldy. Some of the familiar old songs Avhich avc often hear around town on moonlight nights Avere given and very much ap- preciated as Avas shown by the many encores. Some excellent readings Avere also given on the subject “Thanksgiving.” As is well known, the loAver classes always try to imitate the Seniors. The Juniors folloAved the old rule aand gave their program on Christmas. Ia Avas excellently rendered and greatly ppreciated. The corn-stalk fiddlers, besides giving us some excellent and tunful music, rpresented a comedy feature which was delightful. The musical numbers, dialogues, speeches, and readings, were well given and consequently well received. The last and most interesting feature of this program was the distribution of Christmas presents, not ex- ceeding ten cents in price among the faculty and members of the school. Some of the dignified Seniors and even the faculty received such childish things as trains of cars, all-day-suckers, rattle boxes, etc., but all were received with the same spirit i nwhich they were given, and the program ended amid much mer- riment aand with the true old Christmas spirit. On Washington’s birthday, the Sophomores surprised us with a bumper program. Besides Washington’s and Lincoln’s biographies, the familiar stor- ies about them, piano and vocal solos, dialogues and questions requiring prac- tical answers, several comedy features were put on. Among these, the old spellin’ school,” composed of the Sophomore class, with Sarah Wiight as teacher, was a scream. Although the Sophomores want to appear dignified and important, they showed they were nothing but kids yet, when they ap- peared with their dinner-pails, sleeve aprons, pig-tails, sun bonnets, and sing- ing “School Days.” This was the first day the “Ukelele Club” appeared in public. Marjorie Graf, Ruth Capp, Louise Brown, Betty Phelps and Lorna Johnson played and sang popular songs, as the last and one f the best numbers on the program. These girls have since become quite famous and are often called upon to render their program in public. We are still looking forward to the Freshman program, with great expec- tations. which we are sure will be realized. We have lately been informed that the date lias been set for April first. We wondey why. A. B.

Intrinsically, there was nothing valuable about this rusty, on chain, but it was prized very highly by the Herr, on account of its traditional history. Using the algebraic expression by way of distinguishing my characters, it was the Herr’s grandfather, taken to the fourth power, and who. ith it, drew Noah’s ark down from the mountain, and fashioned from it s scanned timbers, a shed for his oxen. After the death of this worthy personage, me chain next fell to the cube of the Herr’s grandfather, whose life had been picserved from the terrific onrush of an angry bull, only by the great strength of the chain, which held the animal captive. The Herr’s great- great-grandfather came next and was he who loaned it to the noted German physicist, Otto von Guer- rike, who in the presence of the Reichstag and his Majesty, Wilhelm, hitched to it sixteen of the strongest horses in Germany and pulled apart the famous Madgeburg hemispheres. The Herr’s great grandfather then fell heir to the chain, but he had not had it more than twenty years, when he and his son, .Jake, became incensed with one another, over whose turn it was to have the use of the favorite driving ox for that night. Jake siezed the nearest offens- ive weapon, which happened to be the cow chain, and beat his father to death. Jake Corn Tassal, so the legend runs, inherited the cow chain from his father’s estate, and it Avas he, who hitched to it his grey ox and moved Washington’s artillery and munitions into winter quarters at Valley Forge. IIoAvever, dur- ing the Avar, Jake Avas killed, and the coav chain fell to his son, the Herr’s fa- ther, who treasured it so highly, that he thought it best to take it to bed with him at night, so that it could not be stolen. He always fastened it about his leg and neck as a further precaution of it’s safety. Noav one night the Herr’s father dreamed that during the next day he would break his neck. Being a supestitious man and believing in dreams, he decided to insure his safety by remaining in bed. However during the course of the day, a rat ran across his bed, whereupon he kicked at it, and the chain being fastened to his neck, caus- ed a quick jerk of the spinal column—and he expired. The Herr, himself, noAv came into possession of the coav chain, but it being the cause of the death of two of his ancestors, decided neither to sleep with it, or have it within hanging distance. Therefore, he decided to bury it under the dead apple tree, where the sun’s rays fell through the wood pecker’s nest at sunset. Since it was his custom to go to the chain every night, to satisfy himself concerning its safety, a rumor was circulated. The gossip declared that the Herr had a buried treasue. Garbo, a wary villain, learned of this secret, and determined to steal the old man’s treasure. In the guise of a vender of soaps, he came to the Corn Tassal homestead and upon being invited inside by the charming Miss Corn 1 assal, he immediately began his business of getting acquainted. “A fine morning, miss, and you’re alookin’ fine—” It s awfully nice of you to say so, but ina told me not to let strangers flatter me—” “Yes, but my dear Lucine, you see—’’ End of Episode I. By Long Nail. SECOND EPISODE “Oh, what have you got there Mr. ah----” “Garbo.” “Ah, yes, Mr. Garbo?” ‘ I have some very fine soap here, Miss Corn Tassal, some soap just suited for your pretty white hands and—” “Ah, Mr. Garbo, indeed you are a flatterer.” But, my dear Lucine, it is the truth ; although I have known you for only a few short moments, in that time, I have learned to love you dearly. Lucine, will you be mine? Yes, you will, for 1 will, for if you don’t I will commit suicide, or sumpin’. Will you?” “Why, Mr. Garbo, this is so sudden and unexpected and besides you, a soap seller have not the means to keep a wife. I cannot marry you; it would disgrace dad’s heirloom, which has been handed down in the Corn Tassal family since the flood. Why, father prizes that heirloom so highly, that he has hidden it under the old apple tree, where the shadow falls through the woodpecker’s nest at—Oh! I forgot, that is a secret. No, Mr. Garbo, I cannot marry you, but I can buy some of your soap. Some of this kind please. IIow much?” “Nine cents, please.” “You are a little dear—” “Oh, thank you, Miss—” ‘I didn’t mean it that way. I meant that yo ir soap was rather high- priced.” (Sob from Garbo—feigned.) “Good-bye. May I come back to see you in the near future?” “Yes, Mr. Garbo.” (Not like the modern girl.) Thus they parted—she with a “tee hee,” and Garbo with a “chuckle, chuckle.” Garbo, the villain, had learned all that was necessary, lie immediately guessed that it was the old solitary, weather-beaten apple tree, under which the treasure was buried. After leaving the Corn Tassal home, he proceeded to the haunted house in the wood, that bordred on the Corn Tassalestate, to await for nightfall to carry out his plans. He chuckled, when he thought how he had aroused the feelings of the simple country lass, but he was working to his own advantage. Ase tr.e clock in the village struck twelve P. M., a man issued from the haunted house, in the dark woods adjoining Corn Tassal's estate, and proceed- ed silently toward Corn Tassal young orchard. This man was Garbo, and lie was eager to secure Corn Tassal's buried treasure. He proceede to do this by scaling several high fences, barbed wire ones among them, and after having crossed the garden, the young orchard and the poultry yard, he stood under an ancient apple tree, and as he thought, in the vicinity of the treasure. But he forgot a shovel or pick, whereupon he went rummaging around in the Herr’s tool shed for the desired article, but it cost him something, for a remarkably stern watch dog, exited by the first noise came out and took a look at Garbo, who had gone up the apple tree, double-quick and perched himself on a limb. Luckily for Garbo, the bull dog was one of that species that believe in action, alone, for he did not bark. After a couple hours siege, the bull dog withdrew and left Garbo with the treasure. Thereupon Garbo hastily secured the treas- ure and exit. You may wonder, gentle reader, that the cow chain was of any value to Garbo, but it was. He intended to hold it for ransom. Garbo proceeded to his haunted dwelling in the woods, where he hid the cow chain under the floor. Then he settled down for a good rest, all the while thinking of the ransom and Lucine, whom he liked considerably. But he was not destined to sleep yet, for a couple of squirrels came in through the roof and chattered angrily—I guess they thought that he was a queer nut of some kind. But finally they withdrew and Garbo sailed into the land of dreams. The next morning. Miss Corn Tassal went out to pick the cucumbers, and in doing so, she found a certificate, which hung on a pickle vine. This cer- tificate, she soon learned, was a porch climbing license. She took it to her father, who after inspecting it, went to see whether his treasure was safe or not. Herr Corn Tassal soon discovered, to his grief, that the treasure had “vamoosed.” lie immediately telegraphed to a detective agency and succeed- ed in acquiring the services of Bejo, a quack detective. The “Hopper. End of Episode II. THIRD EPISODE N') v Bejo. immediately proceeding to give out all the information he had found concerning the case, went down to the Corn Tassal farm and established headquarters, ' he first day was spent in searching for clues. Herr Corn Vassal gave linn the porch-climbing license, whereupon that very evening, like ■nost quack detectives, Bejo went down to the corner store and related to the awed country rustics the great responsibilities, dangers, etc., of the modern detective’s life. One of the interested spectators expressed an eager desire to enter this noble and martyr-like life, and promised to do anything which Bejo asked, if only he would allow him to go along. Bejo, never suspecting that he was talking to Garbo, the wary villain for whom lie was searching, told him in a very condescending tone that he might accompany him and carry the artil- lery, namely, a flint-lock pistol, a foot in length. Garbo who immediately set Bejo on fake trails had considerable fun and, since they had established headquarters at the Corn Tassal farm, he also had the opportunity of being near his beloved Lucine. But Garbo’s life of bliss and happiness was brought to a rapid close, for, while out walking with the adorable Lucine one nice moonlight evening, he accidentally dropped some little remarks that set Lucine’s slow mind to working. After a night of hard thinking, she managed to conceive the idea that Garbo had more to do with the mystery of the lost cow chain than he was supposed to have. At the same time it was discovered that the quack detective’s convert had disappeared. The neighborhood was immediately aroused, and Bejo, the second Sher- lock Holmes, equipped with his flint-lock pistol and about twenty feet of inch rope, set out to bring home the bacon—Garbo and the cow chain. By chance he started in the direction of the forest where Garbo, the villain, was located. Charging through the wood he contemplated how he would show the rustics the way it was done and wondered how he could win back his reputation with them, because of course he had been the joke of the neighborhood, after the people had learned how he had been bluffed by Garbo. Suddenly coming upon the old house, he loaded the pistol to the muzzle with T. N. T., and charged the cabin. He was met by Garbo, and at the crucial moment the miniature cannon failed to go off. Bejo, to save himself, challenged Garbo to a duel. Bejo’s weapon of defense exploded this time, but, with different effect than was in- tended. In other words, it back-fired (Ford language) and Bejo sailed away to dwell with Morpheus. W hen he awoke, he found himself bound with the cow chain, and, tied to the flint-lock was a note from Garbo, saying that he had decided to go to more profitable fields of labor, on account of the climate. Bejo immediately began to exercise his lungs, and sonn Herr Corn Tassal and the rest of the neighbors came and unbound him. Bejo told them that he had the villain in his (dutches, when he stumbled over a “pesky root, fell and was knocked unconscious. The cow chain was carried back to the Corn Tassal home in triumph and was hidden—but that would be telling. Enough said, that it is in a safe place. The porch-climbing license is kept in the famailv Bible in the parlor, along with the marriage license, Lucine's first tooth aand the birth and death lecoid. The soap was given to the corner store keeper, who, after trying to sell it, gave it to the garage man, who sold it to tourists for transmission grease.

BASKET BALL REVIEW 1919-1920 The Butler High School Basketball team though handicapped by the lack of a fitting “gym,” put one of the fastest teams of the district on the floor this season. They developed team work that has seldom, if ever, been excelled by a B. II S. team. It would be impossible to pick any one as a star, because they all worked to one end—to make a team. Every man put his best in his own position, and that coupled with their snappy passing, made the team a strong conic.- ler n the district tournament. The season opened November 28, with a close victory for B. II. S. Some f the players had never played before, but no one neglected any part of h s duty and bv a “whirlwind play when the score was tied, “Toad Fisher won f. r his alma mater—15-13. The following week the team journeyed to St. Joe and lost a hard foug.it battle by a 13-28 count. But they came home saying, “0 boy wait till they come to Butler. B. II. S. then came home for a game, and Spencerville was defeated by a 28-17 in a game made snappy by the pep of the fans. Our next game was played on a foreign floor in which Waterloo gave us our second defeat, 19-34. This angered our team and a week later we nu t and dr7fated Hamilton, 38-9. B. H. S. team then invaded Ohio and met Montpelier, formerly the strong- est team in northwestern Ohio. In this game our team seemed to reach its climax of the season. The game was refereed by Mr. Larry Bevvan, assistant district attorney of Toledo, 0. Five hundred people witnessed some marvel- cio team work displayed by both aggregations. The referee declared the score did not do justice by its showing. 69-23, in favor of Montpelier. In the next game revenge was taken on Edgerton by a score of 12-14. The i “xt game being scheduled with Garrett, the B. II. S. quintet sallied forth with great confidence. The game at Garrett was among the best of the season and both teams displayed the old time fighting spirit and good sports- manship. The B. H. S. was defeated by a 12-44 count. The next game was played here with Montpelier, 0. Altho B. II. S. lost 28-34, they proved their former score with Montpelier did not do them justice. For several weeks the Butler squad had lived in anticipation of the game with St. Joe at Butler. On that eventful evening the Butlerites defeated St. Joe by a score of 33-14. A large number of spectators attended this game which included out-of-town fans as well as our local boosters. The Garrett quintet next invaded B. H. territory and were also able to carry away the honors, but only after one of tbe fastest and hardest fought games of the season. The enthusiasm displayed by the fans of both cities will long be remembered by the two contesting teams. When time was called, the score stood 26-27. During the course of events, the B. II. S. Alumni team encountered the B. II. S. squad and much to their surprise they met with defeat. Score 20-50. Friday, February 27 marked the close of the season for the Green and Gold. The final game was played with Waterloo at Butler. Altho Butler ob- tained a nice lead in the first half, they were finally defeated. Score 26-30. CAPTAIN MARCEL SWIFT “Swifty participated in every game of the season, and his playing was marked with that fighting spirit which has distinguished him for three seasons. ORA BLAKER “Blake ' played in old time form at the pivot, and proved a heady player in either defensive or offensive work. OTIS FISHER load tho small of stature, showed his superiority over all opponents during the season, by his fast and clean-cut playing and basket-tossing RALPH KEPLER “Kep’s steady and close guarding of all opponents was a chief factor of the team’s defense. glen McClellan “Mac had the uncanny skill of breaking up plays, which was a feature cf the season. HOMER CAMPBELL ( ampbell, altho this was his first season, came forth as a promising member for next year’s squad. ELMON VERNIER “Sal played in several contests during the year, and did his share to develop this year's squad. FRED TOMLINSON “Tomlinson ' played several games this season and filled the position of center. DEE SEWELL “Dee' played several games and always succeeded in getting his share of the baskets. LEO SHUMAKER “Doc” played no games during the season but was always prepared. THE BASKET BALL TOURNAMENT Held on March 5 and 6 ,1920 at Auburn, Indiana. At the new McIntosh Gymnasium on March 5th, sixteen Basket Ball teams, representing the various High Schools of this district assembled to try for the district honors. But the team in which we are interested, is the team in which were intrusted the honors of B. H. S. The B. H. S. Team, having played nearly every squad attending the tourney, felt confident of at least two easy victories. Butler’s first contest was scheduled with Flint, Indiana at 1:00 P. M., Friday. After a good rest which occupied the morning, the B. H. S. squad attacked the army from Flint. Flint, although a small town, proved no easy opponent. The contest started with a flash of speed and con- tinued so through the entire game. As the teams were very evenly matched, it was a fight from start to finish. From the time the whistle blew until the gun was heard, every man put his very best efforts into the game to uphold the honors of B. H. S. Fisher, the lightning forward from Butler, flashed his speed, but the Flint defence was strong after several minutes of play, neither team predominated. Swift, the captain and old stand-by, secured three field goals for Butler, and Flint also came forth with four field goals, thus giving them the lead by two counts. However, this did not last long, for Butler again scored a field goal and at the end of the first half of play, the score was tied—8 and 8. After the usual rest, play was resumed and with the guards Avorking magnificently, several minutes were played without a field goal for either team. As the close guarding of both teams made it impossible to secure a safe shot, long shots were resorted to by the Flint five. They man- aged to drop in a couple of long ones, but Butler still tried for short safe shots. This left Butler four points behind. But the Greer, and Gold was not to be so easily defeated. Blake, the tall level-headed center secured the tip-otf and (with little difficulty) placed the leather into the hands of the two forwards and after some showy team work which the Flint Five were unable to compre- hend. two baskets were made safe for Butler, and again the score was tied. The crowd being about evenly divided went wild at this show of spirit. En- couraging words were hurled at the players as they fought on. After some minutes of play, time was called for a consultation and rest. After the al- lotted time was taken for rest, play was resumed and Flint again secured the lead by four points. This vexed the Butler quintet and again some classy team work was displayed and two more field goals were counted for Butler. Again the score was tied and again the crowd went wild with enthusiasm. Tin horns were sounded and yells were given for both quintets, and this combined with the whirlwind playing, made a very spectacular scene. Suddenly a foul was called by the referee which gave Butler a free throw. Upon Blake fell the responsibility of this decisive throw. Alas the sphere missed the hoop and while the ball was still in the air the gun was fired for the end of the second half; the score was tied 16 and 16, and amid hoarse cheers both teams again rested for the five minutes of play granted by the referee to decide the match. After rest every player, confident and apparently as fast as at the opening sound of the whistle, fell into place for the last five minutes of battle. Blake, the tall center, secured the tip-off, and again the floor was a blur. After a three minutes which seemed an eternity, Fisher the lightning forward, again stepped up and with a decisive twirl of the leather set the score up two pegs for Butler. At this, the enthusiastic crowd went frantic. Now Butler played foi time but the rapid play continued despite the fact. Cheer after cheer was given for both quintets, but the Butler defence proved too strong for the Flint five and the game ended with Butler triumphant with a score of 16 and 18. The newspapers gave to Butler and Flint the honor of having played the best game of the tournament. Butler's next victim was to be decided by the Garrett vs. Hamilton match. The Hamilton squad were defeated, and this fixed Butler’s next game with Garrett. This contest was to take place at 8:00 A. M„ Saturday, but later in the afternoon on Friday, news was received that the Garrett quintet had been disqualified for substituting a non-certified player. The news was later sus- tained by a decision from the State Athletic Association giving the contest to Hamilton. This upset the tourney dope which changed Butler’s schedule, and Hamilton was destined to be Butler’s next victim. Saturday at 8:00 A. M., the players assembled for the Butler vs. Hamilton match. Play started prompt- ly and Hamilton was whirled off their feet by the fast Butler quintet. Sewell u as substituted for Swift and while Fisher did the lightning work Sewell quietly awaited the ball in under Butler’s basket. Time after time the pill came into Sewell’s possession and with practically unguarded throws he tossed nine baskets, thus contributing his share to his Alma Mater. In the last half Campbell was substituted for Kepler and Swift for Blaker. The game proved to be an easy one for Butler and ended with a score of 10-43. This placed Butler in line for the semi-finals. Butler’s next match was to be designated by the Auburn vs. Angola game. In this game Angola forced Au- burn out of the tournament thus placing Angola in Butler’s path. As per schedule, the battle between Butler and Angola was called at 2:00 P. M., Saturday. The game started with whirlwind playing and Angola suc- ceeded in getting several field goals and holding Butler down. Angola proved her superiority by shutting Butler out during the first half. The quintet from Angola were large of stature and their flashy passing and team work proved too much for Butler’s favorites and the game ended with a score of 48-4. But- ler was forced out of the tournament but nevertheless the spirit ond work shown by this year s Basket Ball squad will long be remembered. The Butler fans were also somewhat elated when news came that Otis Fisher had been chosen the all-star forward on the first all-district team. We also have a man on the second all-district team, namely, Glen McClellan, the trusty guard of B. H. S. squad. Thus ended the Basket Ball season for B. II. S. It. C. ’20.

GIRLS BASKET BALL The Girls Basket Ball records of the past four years have maintained as high a standard of efficiency as possible, considering the number of handicaps that it was necessary to overcome. The teams have practiced faithfully con- sidering the poor practice halls and the few recruits who have turned out for practice. However honorable mention should be given to those who have re- ported faithfully for practice during the season. The Senior class during its B. H. S. career has taken added interest from year to year in Athletics. Each year the class has been represented by some member or members within its ranks. The class of 1920 leaves B. H. S. in the hopes that the succeeding teams will have a better place in which to direct their efforts toward a “Bigger Better Basketball Team.” The following is a schedule of the teams of the last four years: 1916-1917 Forwards Guards Center S. Center Subs. Veda Oberlin Violet Lautzenhiser Marjorie Hose Gertrude Velma Haverstock Fay Olds Waterman Esther Shumaker 1917-1918 Veda Oberlin Violet Lautzenhiser Marjorie Esther Helen Gertrude Shumaker Fay Olds Waterman Hose Smurr 1918-1919 Helen Smurr Louise Mason Marjorie Esther Gertrude Marjorie Graf Violet Lautzenhiser Waterman Hose Shumaker 1919-1920 Ruth Capp Louise Mason Madge Francina Sarah Wright Louise Brown Marjorie Graf Dorothy Tyson McClellan Lowe Bessie Phelps Louise Willock The team this year was composed of only two experienced girls and four new members, all of whom played good ball. Practice was begun in November and continued until March. Because of the inability of the first coach to con- tinue her work, Mr. Day took charge of the girls and deserves much credit for his willing services. The girls did their best under all circumstances, and no one player could be considered a star player, as all played well. Marjorie Graf and Ruth Capp occupied the forward positions. Marj and Ruth are excellent in team work and between them they threw 31 baskets making a total of 55 points. Both will continue to shoot baskets next season. Captain Madge McClellan at center, has participated in Basketball only one year. Altho her first year on the team was in her Senior year she has managed to ‘swat’ the ball with great ability. The team will be minus one of its best players for “Bocky” will be lost to us by graduation. Francina Lowe, another new member of the team played side center whenever she was called upon. However because of the fact that many of the season’s games were played without a side center, Francina was out-o-luck. But whenever she did play she let everyone know that she was on the ttooi alright. Louise Mason, Dorothy Tyson and Sarah Wright were the guards of the season. ‘Dot’ and Sarah playing about an equal number of games. During ‘Mason’s’ two years of Basketball, she was always known to stand up for the interests of B. H. S. (and on the ball if necessary). Much of the forward’s playing depends upon the guards and the guards this year kept up their end of the court. We should have some exceptionally strong guards next year as none are lost by graduation this year. The ‘subs’ this year were Bessie Phelps, forward; Louise Brown and Louise Willock, guards. “Betty” and “Brownie” did their share of the work of keeping the team in practice aand were always ready when called upon to substitute. Louise Willock began her Basketball ‘career’ in the last three weeks of the season. Hence for good reasons she participated in only one game of the season. Beginning with the year 1918-1919, monograms were awarded for faithful service in participating in three-fourths of the games of the season. Six of the players last year and six this year were entitled to a “B.” An engagement was made with Corunna, but because of the fact that sev- eral of their players were unqualified Butler did not play them. However a ‘bad beginning means a good end.’ The following is a record of the games of the season: B. H. S. 8 B. II. S. 10 B. H. S. 11 B. H. S. 7 B. H. S 8 B. II.

Shortly afterward he learns from his family lawyer, Mr. Pepperdine, that his cousin has been killed and that he is heir to the estate and is a baronet. Mr. Pepperdine suggests that he break off his matrimonial entanglement, but Maurice spurns the suggestion with contempt. Lady Agnes Barricklaw has long been in love with Maurice and now that he is a wealthy baronet decides to marry him. She arrives at the McCormack farm with Eileen, Maurice’s sister, and tries to break off the match between Rose and Sir Maurice by suggesting to Rose that her lover is already engaged to marry Eileen (who is really his sister.) Rose sees Maurice embrace his sister and thinking she is his betrothed, agrees to break off the match. But Archibald Pennywitt, a blundering English tourist, explains that Eileen is Maurice’s sister and Maurice introduces Rose to all as his affianced wife. Act III. Scene 1.

Rose, suspecting that Maurice is to join Agnes at Belfast, spurns her husband and departs for a grand ball with her brother, Terry. Maurice, thinking that Terry is Rose’s lover, decides to challenge him to a duel, but Rose and Terry return from the ball and the brother is introduced to the hus- band and all ends well.

You’d have me tell of laughter, With maybe a few tears, For nineteen-six, and after, Those fast-flown yesteryears. Well—I became a teacher Piano was my line; ’Till haled before a preacher, To wed in nineteen-nine. For to a Kendall-villian Who seemed to me quite grand, (Of others worth a million) I gave my heart and hand. But friends they kept a-writing To bring us home again; 'Till soon we came a-kiting, That was in nineteen-ten. Next year there came a stranger, Made Butler seem like heaven, He wants to be a ranger, That was in nineteen- ’leven. And then we went a-farming In search of health intent, (With ignorance alarming) 'Twas two good years well spent. Nineteen sixteen, however, Found us hale and brown. We country ties did sever, And hied us back to town. And here we hope to tarry Until our hair grows grey. Of moving we are wary In Butler we would stay. My heart has ceased to flutter, I have surrendered quite. I find I am no author, And you can see I'm right. CLASS OF 1907 Ralph Wells. Post Graduate of B. H. S. one year.

Ju£t hear the Brunswick and be convinced .... ii MDSM3SEEEX3EB BEMEMEBB REPRODUCES ALL TONAL BEAUTIES 8till the very latest and most advanced in phonographs is The Brunswick. This remarkable instrument has attracted nation-wide attention. Chiefly because of the Brunswick Method of Re- production. Tliis new development brings finer tone for every record, whatever make. No oth- er instrument has these advanced ideas. NOW BRUNSWICK RECORDS 'We bring now as a further contribution to the phonographic art our own make of records. We include all the fine standards of today, yet add what we consider a vast improvement. And this we know will be the verdict of the public. This is the secret—each Brunswick Record is interpreted bv a noted director or an accomplish- ed artist technically trained in the art of record- ing. Thus we 'inite the talent of the artist with the genius of the composer. H. K.

BUTLER, INI). fj : TTTTTTTT'B Stafford Engravings and Stafford Service Our conception of service to the schools we work with includes much more than merely giving the highest quality of engravings that it is possible to produce. We always take a keen interest in both the financial and the artistic success of every An- nual for which we are privileged to prepare the engravings. It was this interest that prompted us in the preparation and publication of the Stafford handbook, “Engravings for College and School Publications” which we furnish, free of charge, to the Annuals for which we vrork. The success of this book and the fact that we were the originators of this method of co-oper- ation, is to us a source of considerable pride. The publishers of this Annual will tell you that in the planning, financing and preparation of their book, this Stafford handbook was a ver- itable gold mine of helpful ideas and sugges- tions. A copy of this book, in addition to all the di- rect and individual co-operation you may need, and the benefit of our nearly thirty years spec- ialization in college and school engraving, is available to all schools that appreciate this idea of service.
