At our first class meeting Leo Shumaker was elected President, Foster Pol- and, Vice President; Blanche Crabbs, Secretary and Treasurer and Miss Thomas, class teacher, e During the year we enjoyed several Domestic Science class “feeds,” a pot luck supper at the home of Ruth Capp and a farewell party for “Anti.” r The officers of our class during the Sophomore year were Elmon Vernier, President; Leo Shumaker, Vice President; Marjorie Graf, Secretary and Treas- urer, and Miss Etter, class teacher. The chief social activity during the year was the entertainment given to the other classes on George Washington’s birthday. $,■ ■ Our Junior year will be remembered by the publication of the “Fort night,” the Junior-Senior Banquet and a pot luck supper and theater party en- joyed by pupils and teachers (?). This year we entertained the other classes by a Masquerade Valentine party. The class officers during the Junior year were Elmon Vernier, President; Leo Shumaker, Vice President; Ruth Capp, Treasurer; Clark Platt, Secretary and Mr. Green class teacher. We have had few social activities during our Senior year for our interests have been confined to the publication of the annual. Our class has always been well represented in athletics and has taken an active part in such school activities as the Minstrel (II), Carnival (III IV) and the Operetta (III). The class officers this year are: Naomi Lawson ........... Dortha Aldrich.......... Ruth Eakright .......... Earl Mullett ........... Mr. Hawbaker............ .....President Vice President .....Secretary .....Treasurer .Class Teacher Ruth Capp. CLASS PROPHECY It was with a shock that the realization came that this might be our last meeting as we are now, “The Jolly Class of Twenty Two. In a short time we would he scattered through the numerous Walks of Life, and we were all cur- ious to know the path into which our footsteps would wander. Now I had al- ways been interested in the occult and future gazing, and believed myself rather capable of telling fortunes. So we gazed into my magic crystal, and here is what gradually cleared for our wondering and astonished gaze to look upon. “I don’t believe in that kind of thing,” Marge said, just as the first figures could be distinguished. A tall building, and yes, there it was, “Miss Jennings Private School for Girls.” “Oh, I know that place, it’s near Columbus,” Lorna interjected, “but that’s not the name of it—” “Keep quiet a minute, cantcha?” Earl muttered. Slowly the vague outlines grew brighter and bright- er, there on the ground was a group of girls our own age, talking earnest to a kind, middle aged lady. They hung on every word she uttered—yes, as the picture grew clearer and clearer, we recognized our old pal Doris. “That’s all bunk,” Sarah shrilled, and even as she spoke the picture faded, and another one took it’s place. It was luxurious beyond description, the suburban home of a wealthy man, and on the spacious lawn two children frolicked, suddenly they spy their father coming up the walk, and they run to greet him. His gait looked familiar. “Who do you suppose it is?” we whispered to on another— and “For Gosh sakes, it’s you Anthony,” I)oc laughed. And Gerald it was, now a dignified business man. At the door he was met by his charming wife, no other than Dortha Aldrich, our old classmate. “A-w-w-w,” Gerald began —but another picture came to view. This time a busy office. A man that looked strangely familiar was bend- ing over some account books. He raised his head, and there was “Doc” Shu- maker, a little older and careworn, but for all that a successful C. P. A. By this time were all too interested to speak, and as “Doc” faded into the back- ground a tent was shown. Everything was gay with banners, and in the foreground was a band that was playing merrily. A man steps forward, then the curtains part and a giant and an acrobat step forth. “That’s you, Clark,” Fred grinned, and sure enough there was Clark Platt and Hennrietta Packer. But it was time for their act, and they withdrew to leave the scene to the jungles of Africa. A hunting trip was in progrss, and evidently the game was sighted, be- cause excited blacks and several whites were hurrying forward—out of the brush steps a tall, well built man dragging the carcas of a lion. He was immedi- ately surrounded by his admiring men, and it was full five minutes before we could catch sight of him. “WhozatY” asked Sal. “Some man” and Troas shrieked, “Why Sal it's you” and Sal it was, now a famous African hunter. A train now came into view as the jungle scene vanished, stopped, and we saw a girl whom we immediately recognized as Troas, laughing heartily at some cartoons. She gave a sudden start, and next we see her entering a studio occupied by two famous cartoonists—who are no other than Loren Steckly and Virgil Hathaway. Troas, it seems, had seen their names on some cartoons, and had immediately looked them up. The shadow faded, leaving the three mer- rily discussing old times. We are now shown a busy harbor, evidently that of San Francisco. From the crowd is seen a stout lady, accompanied by her equally thin husband, bound for a foreign port as missionaries. I gasped, and Hennrietta interposed that it was Ruth and Jack Moore, on their way to India. Just as they reached the gang-plank the picture faded, and— We see a homey little cottage in a small town. There presides our old classmate, Deborah Showalter, happily married to a man none of us knew. Another home appears, this time a big ranch house, and as we gazed, a horse ridden by a slim, girlish figure rode up to the door. “Looks like Doro- thy, only it’s too thin for her,” someone whispered, but it was Dorothy, now Mrs. Learned, who had indeed gotten much thinner, due to her life in the open with her husband who is a famous stock raiser. A busy station was the next scene shown, in it was a telegraph operator, who was receiving a message from a well-dressed athletic looking lady, who proved to be Marge, on her way to coach athletics in a small school near Bos- ton, where the cream of the country’s girls are sent for final training, before leaving for France to participate in the Olympic games there. She gazed at the operator, then gasped—and recognized Fred Tomlinson. A busy street was shown as they faded from the crystal surface, and down it came an ambulance, we followed it, and at the hospital the patient was taken into the Receiving Ward. He had been the victim of an automobile ac- cident, and was so swathed in bandages, that we had difficulty in recognizing Earl Mullett. “You always were a careless driver, Earl.” Dorothy remark- ed, and just then a -white robed nurse hovered into sight. “That pug-nose looks familiar,” Deborah noticed, and as she turned around we had recognized Sarah Wright. But howT different from the old Sarah, once a wild madcap girl, turned into this white-robed figure of Mercy. Too good to be true, but the crystal never lies. Now we see a magnificent theatre, an opera is in progress. From out the handsome velvet curtain steps a figure we recognize as Naomi. Another star in th|o cast was Elenora Kuss. Both now famous for the voices which always charmed us. The scene rapidly changed to California, a moving picture studio. The di- rector, a tall slender woman, was talking to the star, in spite of the grease paint we recognized Lorna Johnson, and the director was none other than Ruth Eak- right. On the set was another familiar figure, who proved to be Rebah Woods. L “You’re next, Bessie,’’ Rebah said as she faded from view, and we saw her as a happy wife and mother in a town in Pennsylvania. Her husband was not in sight, but we judged him to be a school-teacher. “Now all of our futures but your has been revealed, Brownie” Sal said, but my crystal is too faithful a servant to reveal that, so- Our future gazing was ended, and we resumed our other pastimes, but in our minds, remained the sight we had seen, and a vague wondering if—but who knows—“Tell me Little Gypsy What the Future Holds For Us.” Louise Brown.

We had been in training in various places, some in little country school houses, and some in the eighth grade room across the hall. We had declared war by passing our examinations in the spring and receiving our diplomas, certificates of enlistment. We learned that our enemies were to be English, Algebra, Latin or French and Domestic Science or General Science. Every one was victorious in the fight against English and Algebra, and all passed through the tortures of the lower regions, other- wise the Domestic Science and General Science Laboratories, successfully. A few were wounded by Latin and French but they recovered rapidly. We went into summer quarters in May. We renewed the battle in September, as Sophomores. There had been a few desertions so our number was not quite so large as it had formerly been. We found Algebra, English and Latin, our old enemies, whom we had thought vanquished, awaiting us. Another member, History had been added to the opposing party, but we. under the guidance of Mr. Green, were able to subdue this new foe. With a few exceptions we passed Caesar, and left him behind us, forever, we hope. We had only one party during the year. This was held in the Domestic Science room, the scene of former troubles. This gave us a great deal of enjoyment, and enabled us to renew the battle with greater vigor, and a new determination to win. About Xmas time, we thorough- ly vanquished our old foe. Algebra. A new opponent, his first cousin, took his place however. This new enemy, Plane Geometry, was rather a fighter but with Mr. Forney’s excellent help we weakened him and made great plans for seizing his territory next year. In May we again pitched camp for the summer. We renewed the battle the following autumn, refreshed by a summer of fun. We were determined to conquer our old enemy Plane Geometry, and give the others, English, History and Bookkeeping such a thrashing that they would treat us with a little more respect hereafter. Our hopes were gratified in regard to the former and we are now struggling with his brother, Solid Geometry. A few have given up the fight against Bookkeeping and are com- batting a new foe, Geography. We all expect to be victorious in our battles and then we shall say “Next year to battles new and a glorious Senior year.” Zona Smith. SOPHOMORE CLASS Left to right, Top Row—G. Mullett, R.

SOPHOMORE HISTORY On the thirteenth day of September, 1920, forty some hopeful boys and girls entered the portals of Butler High intending to disprove the superstition connected with thirteen. They were a lively bunch and the second week start- ed the social world by having a weenie roast without the consent of the powers that be. ( lass officers were Earl McDonald, president; Robert Rudd, vice president, Dorothy Ocker, secretary, and Ralph Sturgis, treasurer. Black and gold was chosen for the class colors and the yellow rose for the class flower. Later, several other social functions were given and we were promoted to our Sophomore year with high hopes of continued success. 1 his year eleven failed to appear on opening day, however three, Georgia Fireoved, Mary Carpenter and Charles Wolf have entered our class and we still lead in ab.lity (?), as well as application (?). Our former vice president was elected president and this has proven a wise choice for he has looked af.er the best interests of the class at all times. Wishing to have something to strive for, we chose for our motto, “The higher we cl:inb, the broader the view.” I his year our class has attended strictly to the improvement of class marks with very few social functions. We are now ready for our Junior year and hope to be the biggest ami best class which has ever graduated from Butler High. We thank the faculty for their help and patience toward us and hope to continue our pleasant relations with them until May 1924. z O 0 FRESHMAN (’LASS Left to right, Top row—E. Kester, K. Lowe, C.

FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY On September 5th, a large class of Freshmen numbering forty-two, entered Butler High School. These new scholars looked about them with wondering eyes, asked themselves if they would ever have such superior knowledge and wisdom as the upper classmen seemed to possess. The Freshies had been warned as to ihe pranks of the other classes, and so were very much surprised when the Junior girls invited the Freshman girls to an informal tea. The Freshies were very suspicious at first, but soon dis- covered that the Junior girls were altogether sincere in their hospitality. Eight new scholars were enrolled in the class during the next few weeks, making a total'of fifty. Thus the Freshman class of ’25 is the largest that ever entered Butler High. Several class meetings were held at which the class officers were elect- ed. Lawrence Blaker was elected president, Lavon Mavis, vice president and Lillian Hiatt, secretary and treasurer. Miss Gares is the class teacher. The Freshmen chose purple and gold for their class colors, the violet as their flower and “Pep and Grit Win as their motto. The class had a weenie roast in Showalter’s wood, in October, which the majority enjoyed. We have all enjoyed our Freshman work, but are looking forward to the time when we shall be called “Freshies” no longer. If we live up to our motto, we too will be able to show our superiority which designates the upper classmen, when we greet the future Freshmen of B. II. S. H. Y. S.

EIGHTH GRADE HISTORY Last year when we were seventh graders we had a spelling contest. Hilda Coll and Margaret Ames chose sides. Margaret’s side won and Hilda’s side had to entertain the winners. We went to Showalter’s woods and had a supper, furnished by the losers. We played games and had a fine time. The teachers, Mr. Mo w, Miss Chambers and Mr. Ginder were there and enjoyed themselves. We went home about 7:30 o’clock. On September 5, 1921 twenty-nine gay eighth graders started to complete the work of the grade school. Since that time two have left us and we only gained one thus making the present number twenty-eight. Towards the middle of the year we elected the following officers: Margaret Ames, president, Floy Ulm, secretary and Mary Woods, treasurer. We very deeply regretted when Miss Chambers accepted a position in Chi- cago as a teacher. We gave a farewell party for her and presented her with an ivory brush. Me were fortunate enough to get Mr. Moore who was attending school at Tri State College to take her place. COLORS: Purple and White. FLOWER: Sweet Peas. MOTTO: Not at the top, but climbing.

Music is required of all Freshmen during the first semester. It is elective during the second semester. Our course of study includes everything which the state requires of every commissioned high school. Besides these requirements of the state, every high school course includes certain other subjects, which to a large degree deter- mines its usefulness and influence in the community. Our course has been planned and is occasionally changed so that it may best serve the majority of our students. As many choices and electives are offered as local conditions will permit, in order that we may better develope the different types of minds that come to us. In as far as possible, we encourage our students to pursue those subjects in which they have the greatest interest and which they would probably take up in a college or university course. No subject in the course is more important than English. Observation has shown us that very often a student fails in many lines of work because he does not observe accurately and is unable to interpret correctly a printed page. Such observations make us realize more and more the great importance of the English course and make us strive to observe and study accurately, to speak fluently and logically, and to write so as to convey thought clearly and in the best language. Much emphasis is placed upon oral composition and a fair amount of this work is done. The work in oral composition helps to make all recitations more effective. In view of the fact that the state is encouraging more and more of this work and in view of the fact that more and more of this work is expected of the high school graduate, we shall require more oral com- position and shall endeavor to offer at least one semester’s work in public speaking for which we may give credit towards graduation. History is another subject that deserves special mention since we are liv- ing in the greatest historical epoch of all time. The fact that during the recent Word War great principles of government were in the balance, principles about which we are greatly concerned, gives the history immediately preceding this great struggle and will give future history greater significance. We are therefore placing special emphasis on Modern and American his- tory. In all classes students are asked for reports on vital topics. Many im- portant questions are debated in class work, which, besides being very instruc- tive, is very good drill in oral composition. These reports and debates neces- sitate the use of many reference works, so students must frequent the school library and public library and come to feel that they are studying history and not some text book. A constant effort is made to give a sense of reality to the happenings of the past. Some time is therefore spent in developing outline maps, which, when completed show the physical setting, political relations and economic conditions of the different nations during the most important periods of history. Such study enables students to picture more vividly the meaning of the World War and also enables them to judge more wisely as to what the future relations of nations must be in order that permanent world peace might be realized. It also helps towards better citizenship. No special mention need be made of the other subjects in our course. We try to keep up to the standard set by cur best schools and I feel that we have fallen short in none. Our physical and chemical laboratories are fairly well equipped and no small part of the credit given in these subjects is based upon the work done in the laboratory. The work in Bible study is done from the historical and literary standpoints and in no sense from the sectarian stand- point. The Biblical his orv is very interesting and instructive and its literary value is superior to that from any other source. Bible study fills a place in our curriculum that no other subject can do. I trust that more students will be- cqme interested in it and elect this work. Music, Art, Domestice Science and Manual Training will be mentioned briefly following this general discussion, each under its special heading. Next year a great effort will be made to make the following changes. Botany will be put in the Sophomore year and made elective. One semester of Public Speaking will be put somewhere in the course. It also will be elec- tive. Physics and Chemistry will be given in alternate years, and the Junior and Senior classes will be combined in these subjects. This will make it pos- sible for a student interested in science to get four years of science work. With our new gymnasium and auditorium soon to be a reality, we shall or- ganize a large high school chorus for which work credit shall be given. For experience in literary work we shall divide the student body into two literary societies, each society to put on several programs each year. W. Scott Forney. MANUAL TRAINING CLASS MANUAL TRAINING Education is not only the training and development of the mind but with it we must train the body so that it can, in time of need, function with the mind in its work. Since we are striving to make the youth of today the leading and worth while citizen of tomorrow we must bring him in touch with the things that are essential and forth coming to make his generation a better and more worthy generation than his predecessors and to do this we have tried to lead our students in a line that will teach thrift, honesty, fairness, usefulness and economy, along with the development of the mind, in our workshop. Our class this year has not been large but has been one of much ability. The boys have all taken great interest in the work and tried to make their time and labor profit bearing, and thus have made it a big success. We started in the begining of the term by learning the use and care of the tools, which is the fundamental in making a success of anything we under- take. For instance if you choose a servant for any line of work you will call him a success or failure in so far as he cares for or fails to care for the things he is entrusted with. “Tools like friends are soon worn out if you will not show them the proper care and respect.” After this being well taught and in the minds of the students there came the natural sequence of application of what was already learned by putting it to practical use. This was done by the system of joinery and cutting. Among the beginning projects were simple home need that all people may enjoy and be proud of in their homes, both for their usefulness and decorative value. Among these were book racks, tie racks, and hall racks for various purposes. As the students ability to do and make more accurate work, we advanced to more artistic and difficult projects which are also of great value. Although it has been very hard to get satisfactory material for use in this line, we have succeeded in the technical line, and in nearing the end of the school year have completed many valuable articles. The lumber used has been obtained from various places. Tbe cedar was got from Dubuque, Iowa, for the splendid chests that were made by four of the boys. The oak for the three library tables and pedestals was bought and shipped from the Indiana lumber and Mfg. Co. of South Bend. Much walnut has also been used for several articles in the course, for swings, tables, and porch seats which all go to make for the convenience and comfort of the home. We do not expect however that all of the boys in the class will follow the line of work that is taught in our work-shops and become carpenters or cab- inet makers but we feel assured that even if some go to the farm while others may become office help, statesmen or business managers all will feel that their time spent in the Butler High School Shop was not thrown away and wasted for the work of the hands along with the mind develops the thinking and reason- ing ability which are the key notes to success and greatness. S. E. Barkey. DOMESTIC SCIENCE CLASS HOME ECONOMICS Domestic Science in public schools to be of the greatest value, must give the pupils a practical knowledge of foods and the principles which underlie their preparation for the table, and at the same time train the pupils to apply the principles intelligently. The work this year began with a few preliminary lessons for organization and for acquainting the pupils with the instructions for working, and care of the equipment. Then we have carried out the following outline for cooking: I. Food. IX. Meat. 1. Classes X. Quick Breads. 2. Kinds. 1. Baking Powder. II. Carbohydrates. 2. Soda. III. Fats. XI. Cookies. IV. Proteins. XII. Doughnuts and Croquetts. V. Vegetables. XIII. Cakes. VI. Fruits. XIV. Pies. VII. Eggs. XV. Salads. VIII. Milk and Cheese. XVI. Waitress work. SEWING The sewing course this year was planned to include the making of projects which were practical and which the girls could use every day. Too often the girls are compelled to make projects which are of not use to them. The class consists of twenty-three girls and each one has done some splen- did work. The following projects were made: I. Stitches, hems, etc. II. Cotton. III. Bloomers or Combination Suits. IV. Petticoats or Princess Slips. V. Night gowns. VI. M'ddy blouses, either cotton or wool. VII. Wool. VIII. Linen. IX. Silk. X. Aprons. XI. Gingham Dresses. Miss Shirley. MUSIC AND ART Thruout the grades and High School the interest in the Music Department lias shown splendidly. The first four grades besides learning many rote songs, have done some excellent work in technique, such as syllable reading, etc. From the fourth grade to the High School the study of the present mu- sical artists of the day have been given much time, and as a result, we have aroused much interest in these artists and have made attractive books con- taining pictures and newspaper clippings of these people. Through coopera- tion of our patrons we have heard many excellent artists’ records. We have a splendid foundation for some good music work from our peo- ple in the future. By the right cooperation, there is no reason why we can not have one of the best orchestras in the County, a real High School Chorus, and more work from the Glee Club. Our present standing in the County Contest has shown our musical ability. Let s hope for better and more work next year. Our students should be congratulated upon the work they have done this year in the face of inadequate supplies and shortage of time devoted to the subject. In our first two grades, some good work has been done, not only in paper cutting and construction work, but also in color structure, etc. From the fourth to: the eighth grades, we have done water color work, landscape, fruit, etc. Pencil sketches have also had a fair showing. In correlation with other subjects, geography, music, attractive covers have been made for various note books. A High School art class did some good work, first semester, doing water color work, and second, decorative art. Posters also were attempted, and much originality and artistic tempera- ment has been displayed which we hope will be promoted next year. Miss Gares.

The doctor christened her “Miss Gold Dust,” one night when she stopped for a moment in the dining room, where Mrs. Buzzell’s family of “paying guests” had just assembled for dinner. It was raining, and the dreariness of day seemed to have penetrated the room. Cornelia Dere (called “dear Cor- nelia”) in playful moments, was gazing in weary scorn at the inevitable Thurs- day menu of chipped beef, fried potatoes, and stewed prunes, while she re- arranged her side combs, much to the distress of the Misses Trippet who sat opposite. Colonel Pendleton, after seating Missus Buzzell with old-time gallantry, had taken his place between the doctor and Miss Stella Gowan, who sold “gents hosiery” at the “Paris.” Facing him was Grandpa Buzzell, whom beside was a vacant chair, which Sadie, Mrs. Buzzell’s niece would occupy after waiting on table. Joel Bush, agent for “Military Men’s Military Brushes” was between Grandpa and Cornelia, next to whom was the chair usually occu- pied by Nan Wagner—otherwise known as “Miss Gold Dust.” She stopped now in the doorway with a smile that included everyone from Grandpa to Sadie, who was patiently waiting to pass the prunes. “Oh! dear. said Nan, “How cozy you all look! Its raining pitchforks —but there’s extra work I promised to do.” “Have you had your supper?” inquired the doctor, “and are you wearing rubbers?” Nan laughed, extended a foot for his examination and stepped forward to straighten Miss Mary's collar. Mary smiled and said, “You shouldn’t go out on a night like this honey.” “It’s an extra two dollars, explained Nan, as she deposited a package on grandpa’s plate. “Pep’mints?” questioned the old man eagerly. “ es, big ones, the kind you like. But don't open them now grandpa, they’re for you to nibble on nights when you can't sleep.” “New cure for insomnia?” asked Mr. Bush, while Miss Dere giggled ap- preciatively. The atmosphere in the room had changed. It was no longer dreary. Even the food seemed mere appetizing. Nan reached the door, then turned back to explain, “Your Literary Digest wasn’t in Col. Pendleton, but I’ll stop again tomorrow. Good night everybody.” She waved her hand and this time reached the door. If she had only looked back—and heard Col. Pendleton say, “She has a heart of gold, our little Nan. (all her Miss Gold Dust, said the doctor, “she scatters brightness wherever she goes.” The doctor was something of a dreamer, and at his words Joel Bush wink- ed at dear Cornelia and said:: “By Jove, you’re right doc. Nan is like gold dust. Barring the corpse, we were all ready for a funeral, and now every- thing’s as bright and shiny as grandpa’s head. Mrs. Buzzell ain’t there extra cream in this chipped beef tonight?” Mrs. Buzzell beamed, “I did take pains with it—and you’re right about Nan, Doctor Berry. Why just last night she came in while I was trimmin’ my old straw hat—I was that discouraged things bein’ so high after the war and all, I’d done the hat over with black shoe blackin’ and all, but I couldn’t make it look right, when Nan came in for her kimona, for her turn in the bathroom. She stopped and says, ‘what are you doin’, Mrs. Buzzell?’ somehow that made my Adam’s Apple swell, and’ she come in and took that hat out o’my hands and begun undoin’ what I'd done. ‘Yen go take my turn in the bathroom,’ she says ‘and I’ll have this fixed in a jiffy.’ When I come back it looked good as tho I’d paid $4.98 for it. An’ that ain’t all either. She ma e me sit down and brushed my hair, l:ke th y do in Beauty Parlors for fifty cents. Then she made me go to bed and tucked me in and kissed me good night—she made the whole world look different, Miss Nan did.” There was a pause after Mi s. Buzzell’s recital in which Miss Mary Trippett wiped her eyes; then grandpa piped up, “She ain’t ever forgot my pep’mints, not once.” “Nor my Literary Digest,” said the colonel, “lots o’times my joint:; are so stiff 1 can’t go—but Miss Nan always brings it. Mrs. Buzzell aren’t these the California Sweets? They have a delightful flavor—delightful.” It was ten o’clock when Nan entered. As she stepped in the light from Dr. Berry’s office widened, and l e motioned for her to come in. Nan slipped off her coat, and turning beheld a tray containing milk and bread. “Oh,” said Nan, “I hope you didn’t sit up to feed me.” He smiled. “Miss Nan, I wish you wouldn’t, it doesn't pay to burn the candle at both ends.” Nan smiled, “That from you?” “But I’m stronger,” he went on, “Besides I can’t help it. I don't like it myself, I must go when my call comes—but you—I don’t like it.” “I don’t like it myself,” said the girl unexpectedly. “But you see, doc- tor, my little sister is going to be married in the fall. I want her to have things—the sort of things girls love at that time, and every night 1 work means something extra. Oh! I’ve had such fun sending her surprises, 1 never enjoyed anything so much. Its worth it to get her letters.” The tired look that had been in her eyes when she came in, had vanished as she laid down her glass. “But I inusn’t keep you up. It was darling of you to have a lunch for me. I’ve often wished nights when you came in late, I could have some- thing for you.” “Have you?” His eyes brightened. “I’ll remember that times when I m lonely. But as for you doing something, don’t you know that you do things for us all the time?” “Why how?” Nan asked in surprise. She iiad risen, and the doctor arose looking down at her tenderly. “IIow?” he echoed, “Why—by just being yourself ‘Miss Gold Dust.’ “Miss What?” asked Nan, but the doctor only laughed. He laughed so boyishly, that after she left him, Nan wondered about his age. It was something she had never questioned before. She had accepted him the way she had accepted the colonel, the Misses Trippet, and all the oth- ers, as a part of Mrs. Buzzell’s family. If she had found him more interesting than some of them, it was, she argued, because his work was so worth while and interesting. It seemed to Nan the finest work in the whole world, espec- ially when it was among the poor, as so much of Dr. Berry s was. et she wor- ried over him too. She knew it was hard for him to wear suits that had be- come shiny, or he wouldn’t have tried to hide the fact by careful pressing. He pressed them in the kitchen evenings, Mrs. Buzzell told her. Nan guessed that tho he worked hard and long, he was remiss about send- ing out his bills, and often that he sent no bill at all. She knew that for near- ly five years he had occupied Mrs. Buzzell’s two ground floor rooms, one for an office while his bedroom was turned into a waiting room during the day. According to Mrs. Buzzell he belonged to a “proud” family who had cut him off without a penny for not taking a fashionable practice. Nan admired him for his unselfishness, and she loved the dreaminess which broke out in him at times. Now remembering his boyish laugh she wondered if— Nan took the doctor’s advice, and didn’t work next evening, but she was late to supper. She came in, flushed with hurrying, her cheeks pink and her eyes shining. “Sorry to be late,” she began as she reached the door, then stopped in surprise, because a stranger was seated in the chair next to her own. “Mr. Manning,” said Mrs. Buzzell, “meet Miss Wagner. “It’s the new second floor front, Nan,” she explained. The stranger, a good looking young man arose, extending a cordial hand. Nan didn’t know that she seemed to him like an oasis in the desert, but she saw the amusement in his eyes, and added to it by saying, “And I’m the sec- ond floor back, so we’re neighbors. I’m glad to meet you Mr. Manning.” The second floor front drew Nan’s chair with all Col. Pendelton’s gallant- ry. The atmosphere, as usual, had brightened with Nan’s entrance. Mrs. Buzzell lost herself to day dreams at the look on the newcomer’s face, for un- der her fatness was a romance loving vein. Miss Carrie Trippet also scented romance, and smiled. Stella Gowan took occasion to tell the doctor of the amazing bargains her department was closing out next day; and Joel Bush complimented Mrs. Buzzell upon the biscuits. Everybody was good natured, and Grandpa Buzzell free from his daughter's disapproving eyes, grasped the oppotunity to use his knife in an unspeakable manner. “You’re not going to work tonight, Nan?” asked Col Pendelton. “No, and I can read to you as well as not, after I’ve pinned the trimmings on Sadie’s waist. We’ll do it right after supper, Sadie. Here’s that sample of lace, Miss Mary, and your umbrella won’t be fixed until tomorrow, Mrs. Buzzell.” Having disposed of her duties, Nan let the light of her countenance shine on the new boarder, who responded in such shameless admiration that all but the doctor smiled. The doctor was looking rather grim this evening. Nan dis- covered the fact “out of tie corner of her eye,” as she chatted with the second floor front. She ran into his office after assisting Sadie with the trimmings. “What’s the matter with you!” she questioned, “Is some case going wrong or are you tired?” “Neither,” he answered, “I’m just an old grouch, Miss Nan.” Nan’s face clouded. “You need a change,” she said, “If I hadn’t prom- ised to read to the colonel, “I'd make you take me to a movie—why don’t you take Stella Gowan, or—” the doctor laughed. “So you prescribe an evening of Stella for a grouch? I refuse the dose; besides I’m due at the hospital at eight. Miss Nan, what you think of our new boarder?” “The second floor front?” smiled Nan. I thought he seemed a little out of place.” ‘Too fine for the likes of us. The doctor glanced at the loose button on his coat sleeve, and so did Nan. “Here let me fasten that button, you needn’t take off your coat.” She moved nearer and slipped her hand up the doctor’s sleeve. “Not too fine,” she said, referring to his question, “but different.” “lie was becoming to you, Miss Gold Dust.” Nan laughed. “Becoming? And why do you call me that ridiculous name?” It s not ridiculous, and he’s becoming because he made your eyes shine.” Nan flushed as she cut off the thread. There that’s better. Dr. Berry don’t—don’t ever think anyone is too fine for you. I’ve often wished I were a nurse so I could help you.” ‘‘Do you? the doctor’s face held no sign of his formerly confessed grouch. “It would be nice to work with you, but it would be nicer to play with you. We’ll have that movie another night.” See that you don t forget it, said Nan severely, and the doctor laughed. But after all, it was the new hoarder that took Nan to the movies. He met her one night at the corner when she left the car, and walked along with her. Nan didn’t know that he had spent five minutes waiting for her, but she was pleased to see him, and have him relieve her of the books she had gotten for Miss Carrie Trippett. Oh, thank you, she said gratefully, “They’re heavy, and I had to stand. I almost believe I’m tired.” “Too tired to see a show with me,” answered ihe young man with sarcasm, “but not too tired to darn Mr. Bush’s lilac socks, or sew on buttons for Dr Berry?” Nan met his brown eyes gravely, and laughed. “I never darned a sock for Mr. Bush in my life, and how, please, did you know that I sewed on buttons for Dr. Berry?” Caught with the goods. I was on the steps smoking an evening cigar- ette, and the doctor left his shades up. It made me wish I had a dozen buttons to sew on. Why don’t you take pity on me?” “You don’t look in need of pity,” smiled Nan, with a look at his well cut clothes. “But I am. I’m homesick as the dickens, and I meant that about the show. Will you go with me after our hilarious supper? What’ Friday sup- per, Miss Wagner—corned beef hash, or minced ham toast? I haven’t had time to memorize the weekly menu.” “You’re not to make fun of our menu, Mr. Manning,” said Nan gravely. “Variety is not the spice of Mrs. Buzzell’s life, but she’s a dear and— “Of course she’s a dear,” interrupted the young man gaily, “1 adore her but—” Nan was laughing at the thought of portly Mrs. Buzzell arousing adora- tion in her second floor front. “Why not take Mrs. Buzzell to a show then,” she suggested wickedly. “I'm sure—” “Because I’ve already invited another lady,” he interrupted quickly. “Will you be ready at eight, Miss Gold Dust?” Nan turned and stared at him. “Why what made you call me that?” He laughed at her surprise. “A little bird disguised as a nice old south- ern colonel, informed me that it was the doctor’s nickname for you. Our doc- tor, it seems is something of a poet. He see you scattering.— Here we are, Miss Wagner. Thanks awfully for going with me tonight.” “I didn’t promise,” said Nan, “but if you’re homesick—” “Oh, I’m frightfully homesick,” said the second floor front, as he opened the door. He continued to be “homesick” through the weeks that followed, judging by the number of evenings he claimed Nan. On the nights she worked over- time, he also failed to appear, until soon Joel Bush began to hum the wedding march. They all liked the new boarder. He possessed a charming friendli- ness; but after two months it came over Mrs. Buzzell that he had changed the atmosphere of her “familyy” in an alarming manner. In the first place, Dr. Berry had taken to absenting himself from supper more often than was good for him. Unlike Leslie Manning, he chose the night when Nan was home. Mrs. Buzzell guessed that he was overworking, but when she scolded, he an- swered her impatiently, tho he apoligized immediately after, she confided to Sadie that it was plain the doctor’s nerves were on “edge.” It seemed too, that Col. Pendelton was failing. Twice he had refused Nan’s offer to read to him, pleading that he was too tired. “You are young, dear,” he said wistfully, “You musn’t spend your evenings with an old man like me. Youth flies, isn’t that so, doctor?” But Dr. Berry didn’t answer, he had risen hastily, with some remark about the telephone, altho Mrs. Buzzell was sure it hadn’t rung. It was Miss Mary Trippet who got at the root of the matter, on a morning when Mrs. Buzzell was making Leslie Manning’s bed, and she stopped to ask for a towel. “Help yourself, Miss Mary,” said Mrs. Buzzell, pointing to a pile of towels on a chair. “I’m late because I had to mend a tear in Mr. Manning’s sheet. I forgot it yesterday, and today it is twice as big. But lie is a good boy. Hangs up his pajamas an all, but somehow he doesn’t seem one of us does he?” “It’ because he’s young,” said Mary. “But Miss an’s young, and—” “I know,” interrupted Miss Mary, “but Miss Nan's different she's—just herself. She shares her youth with everyone of us. But the boy's different, he’s polite and nice, but when he comes in and carries Nan off to a show—why I feel like—Methsuelali. There maybe it's just because he may carry her away too together.” “You think—she likes him?” Despite her romantic vein Mrs. Buzzed quivered at the thought of losing Nan. “How can she help it?” said Miss Mary suddenly, “lie’s young ami he gives her a good time. We’re selfish.” • “Well,” said Mrs. Buzzed, drearily, “I'm bound to say, Miss Mary, 1 saw them looking at furniture catalogues in the parlor the other night. Miss Mary sighed, picked up her towel and turned away. But the next week was reassuring. Leslie Manning was away, and free from his presence, Miss Gold Dust settled down into her role of shedding cheer. She read to the colonel, fitted a shirt-waist for Miss Dere; wrote a letter of sympathy for Mr. Bush, who had been dreading the task, and taught Miss Car- rie Trippet how to smock. On the night before Leslie’s return the doctor, com- ing in late, found her in his office. On a small table was spread a napkin, and something was cooking on the gas. “One good turn deserves another,” she said smiling, “I’ve some hot choc- olate and sandwiches enough for two, and I’m starving. Sit down. You look tired as a dog.” He obeyed in a way that showed that he was as tired as he looked. lie didn’t speak until she had poured the chocolate. She saw that his hand shook. “Miss Nan—you shouldn’t lose your sleep for—things like this.” “For what, then, should I lose it?” “In the pursuit of happiness, as you’ve been doing the last two months.” Nan flushed, “So that’s your definition of happiness.” “You’ve looked happier,” said the doctor, not glancing at her, however. Nan was silent for a moment before she said, “Doctor have 1 offended you in any way?” “How could you possibly offend me, Miss Gold Dust?” “But you never took me to that show,” answered Nan flushing. It was his turn to flush now. “I thought that you were seeing shows enough, and that—” “Yes,” said Nan mercilessly. “I didn’t wish to be a bore,” he added. “How could you possibly be a bore?” Nan retorted; and the doctor laughed. Nan arrived from work next day accompanied by Leslie Manning. From liis office window the doctor saw them laughingly ascend the steps. Nan’s cheeks were Hushed, and her eyes sparkled. “ The second'floor front too was radiant. They were youth incarnate. The doctor sighed. He went down to supper squaring his shoulders. Two empty chairs faced him. “They're goin' out to supper,” explained Mrs. Buzzell. “There they are now. Good night, Nan dear.” Nan appeared in the doorway in her only silk frock. Behind her was Leslie Manning. Over Nan's head he smiled as only a man who has won his heart’s desire, can smile. “Good night everybody,” cried Nan. “Isn’t is a glorious night? You can smell spring through the window’s.” “You look like spring, my dear, remarked the colonel, and Nan threw’ him a kiss.” “Well,” remarked Joel, diving into the gravy, “methinks I hear wedding hells.” “Oh, do you?” asked Mrs. Buzzell anxiously. “Am I blind?” answered Mr. Bush, “when I see two young folks coming out of an apartment building with a ‘To Let' sign in the window—when I stumble on them lookin’ at ice boxes in a departm nt store—when Miss Here runs into ’em lookin' at wedding rings—” “Did you, Miss Here?” gasped Sadie, nearly dropping the cream jug, in her excitement, but before she could answer Col. Pendelton said ,“I in sure we all wish her happiness, our little Miss Gold Dust. There, there Miss Mary— for Miss Mary Trippet w’as sobbing violently; don’t cross your bridges until you come to them, doctor,” he continued cheerfully—“shall we give them a joint gift for all or—” “I think,” replied the doctor almost crossly, “we can decide that when Miss Nan tells us there’s a cause for it. Will you excuse me? 1 have an ap- pointment.” “Do you know,” began Joel when the doctor was out of hearing, “I’ve sometimes believed that—” What he thought, they were not to know’, lie stopped abruptly and oc- cupied himself with corned beef hash. The meal passed gloomily, only grandpa breaking the silence by petulant- ly saying, “Gorry, I don’t know what I’ll do without my pep'ments.” And none comforted him. Nan was late to supper again the next night. “I couldn’t help it,” she explained, “andi I can only stop for a bite. I must be at the office by eight.” “Too bad,” said Joel, keeping you so late this evening, I’d think they wouldn’t ask you.” “But they didn’t keep me,” said Nan, “I did an errand for Les, he u’on’t be here for supper—he asked me lo tell you, and say also,” she glanced around happily, “that you’re going to lose a boarder.” Had Nan been less absorbed in her subject she would have seen the looks that went around the table. Dr. Berry dropped his spoon, and when he re- covered it, his face was w’hite. “He wouldn’t let me tell you at first” Nan was saying, “but we’ve had such fun hunting apartments, and chairs and—why I even picked out the wed- ding ring!” She laughed, then became aware of the silence. The colonel broke it, saying, “My dear, we wish you every happiness.” Nan stared, then gasped, “But I’m not getting married. It's Les Man- ning.” “Ain't he marryin’ you?’’ shrieked Grandpa, unable to control himself any longer. “Mercy no,” cried Nan, “What made you think so? He’s engaged to a girl from Kentucky, she came yesterday, and they’re to be married tomorrow, he was homesick, and—Miss Mary, what are you crying for?” Nan stopped to see grandpa shaking his fist at Mr. Bush in an alarming way, “What you mean gettin’ me all stirred up for nothin.’ ” and Nan rose suddenly and kissed Miss Mary, and the colonel and Mrs. Buzzell. “Keep it up right around the table,” implored Joel, and they all laughed in relief. “Gorry,” cried grandpa, “my food ain't set well for a week and all for nothin’. She ain’t goin’ to marry no body.” ‘‘Am I as hopeless as all that?” laughed Nan, but there were tears in her eyes, “You’re a peck of geese! I’m old enough to be Leslie Manning’s grand- mother.” There was a light in the doctor’s office when Nan came home—and in the doorway stood, a transformed doctor, wearing a new suit, a new necktie, and yes, since supper a new haircut. “Have you been to a wedding, or has somebody left you a fortune?” ques- tioned Nan. “Like ’em?” exclaimed the doctor, and closed the hall door. “I always said you were younger than you looked.,” remarked Nan. “I’m only thirty-six,” he exclaimed indignantly. Nan laughed, “You don’t look twenty-six, tonight. Where did they come from?” “Where do good clothes generally come from? A tailor. I’ve had ’em a month, ever since my aunt relented and left me her money instead of to the “Home For Starving Cat.” “A whole month, and you never told me?” Nan’s eyes were reproachful, and the doctor answered. “I thought, little Miss Gold Dust, until tonight, that it had come too late.” “Tonight?” Nan questioned. “ Tonight,’ repeated the doctor. “I made up my mind to risk everything and ask the woman I love to marry me.” So there was a woman—Nan’s heart sank but she said bravely “You did?” I m doing it now dear,” he answered gently “I’d have done it long ago, but I had nothing to offer you except my love—and you’ve had that always.” “Mine,” cried Nan. “You love me.” The doctor smiled but his hands grew cold. “Nan, don’t let it frighten you I—I might have known nothing so bright and beautiful could be for me. Forget what I’ve said if it hurts, and—” “Oh!” cried the girl, “You don’t seem to understand.” Then she looked straight at him. “I-I adore you,” she said simply. “It’s too wonderful to be true.” Mrs. Buzzell beamed around the table that boasted two vacant chairs, because Nan and the doctor had not come in. “He’s goin’ to keep the first floor rooms, just the same, only fit ’em up grand of offices—an’ they’re goin’ to use the whole second floor for an apart- ment—all painted an’ papered an’ a kitchenette, but won’t it be grand to know Miss Nan’s right there?” “And summers,” put in Mary, “they’s goin’ k have a bungalow at the sea, so the doctor won’t overwork, and we’re all to visit ’em. I-I haven’t seen the sea for fifteen years.” “I always knew the doctor wanted her,” put in Joel Bush. “You know everything, don’t yer?” snapped Grandpa. “Well,” said the colonel, “as usual she’s made us all happy, Miss Gold Dust has. Mrs. Buzzell, this cornbread is delicious.” “And these fishballs,” added Mr. Bush. Mrs. Buzzell beamed and Grand- pa piped up shrilly, “Gorry, I’m terribly relieved ’bout then pep’ments.” BETTY ALIAS JEAN “Great cats,” wailed Betty Manard. “I’ve broken my only shoe string and I’m to meet Miss Wallace in five minutes for we’re going into town. What shall I do? I haven’t even a pair of party slippers to wear.” Jean Davis, Betty’s room-mate came to the rescue after a rummage of the wardrobe. “Here are my suede pumps. They’re a half size too large for you but maybe you can make them do.” A few moments later Betty was the center of a chattering, giggling bunch of girls taking last minute orders. “All right, Marcia. I’ll remember your massage cream. Isn’t it lovely to have a beauty in the bunch?” “And Billy, would you like to have me discover a new freckle lotion for you?” “Duck.” “Look out,” shrieked the girls as a copy of “Julius Caesar” flew through the air and narrowly missed Betty’s nose. “Well, Marian, do you want your usual five pound box of chocolates and a jar of vanishing cream to cover the defects?” “Girls, isn’t it shocking the amount of money that girl spends for candy, but of course it’s perfectly proper and it’s done in the best of families, that is, if the candy is eaten at midnight or just before breakfast.” “All right, Carol, you want a box of powder and Aleen a card of curlers.” “So long girls.” Betty slipped down the hall and knocked at Miss Wallace’s door, “Come in, Betty. I’m sorry but I have a dreadful headache, so I’m afraid you’ll have to go in town without me.” An hour later Betty was in Boston alone. The night before tbere had been a hard rain and today it was so cold that a thin glaze of ice covered the streets. Walking in Jean’s large French heeled pumps was a dangrous proposition. Upon turning the corner Betty encounter- ed something which at the time look like a mountain. A collision was un- avoidable and Betty found herself in an undignified position in the center of the sidewalk with her bundles scattered everywhere. Her mesh bag had open- ed and the articles which it contained were strewed among the packages. Fi- nally when she could collect her dazed thoughts the mountain proved to be a tall broad-shouldered, typical football man who was assisting her to her feet. The stranger next endeavored to collect her parcels and last picked up a small card which had fallen from her bag. Noticing the card the stranger.spoke inquir- ingly. ‘‘And you Jean Davis?” Betty not knowing what else to say and too embarrased to continue the conversation answered, “Yes.” “Why, I know your brother Dick, well, in fact ,we are room-mates at college.” Betty decided to carry off the complicated situation as well as she could so she replied, “Why yes, I’ve heard Dick speak of his room-mate often but 1 can’t seem to recall your name.” “0, I’m Bob Lansing.” “Why yes,” exclaimed Betty, “How foolish of me to forget.” “I’ve tickets for a matinee and it’s only two o’clock. Won’t you go with me?” “Of course it's against the rules of the school, but, it won’t be the first rule I’ve broken,” declared Betty excusing herself because it was a wonderful afternoon, and because she was all alone in Boston and well—, because he w; such a nice young man. The afternoon fairly flew. On the way to the station Dick remarked that their “Frat” was having a dance that Bob intended to ask her. “Won’t you come as my guest?” Betty realized that sbe could never attend the dance as Dick’s sister, de- cided to confess. “Why-er-why you see my name’s not Jean Davis and Dick isn’t my brother.” “0 sure, I’ve known that all afternoon. You see I’m Dick Davis. FORTNIGHT'’ STAFF Left to right, top row—M. Wiley, R. Rudd, G. Ocker, V. Hathaway, R. Sturgis, 1). Aldrich, E. Vernier, H. Staley, I). Showalter, Z. Smith. Second row—B.

THE FORTNIGHT HISTORY At the beginning of the school term of 1921 the present Senior class form- ulated a plan to edit a school paper. The idea was not a new one for a model had been circulating among the students, familiarly known as the “Fly Pa- per.” This w'as just a scrap of folded paper whose dimensions were small in comparison to those of the present paper. Each student was given the oppor- tunity to add, upon receipt of this High School record, to add a bit of sense or nonsense. The result thoroughly convinced the Junior class that their project would be supported. The decision to choose from the class the staff and to remit the profit to the class was the next step in their project. Then a name must be selected. Various titles were proposed but owing to the decided date of publication the name “Fortnight” was chosen. As the business manager realized that the greater part of the profit arises from the advertising matter he worked dili- gently and by the willing support of the Butler business men, he obained the necessary material. The final result was an interesting, instructive paper and about $125 profit. The paper of the preceding year was decided such a success that in 1922 it was decided to renew this phase of school activity. This time the staff was comprised of members from the various classes and the profit from the under- taking was not desired. At various times new members of the staff (re- placed the old ones but the student body and the general public cooperated for success and the result can be judged after the perusal of this paper. z Left to right, top row—D.

Nearly thirty members were enrolled, and officers were elected. Dorothy Ilaverstock was chosen for president, Zona Smith for secretary, Dorothy Tyson was elected treasurer and Ruth Capp. general manager. The Club studied under the supervision of Miss Gares for several weeks and appeared in public for the first time at Ihe first meeting of the Parent- Teachers Association. As the school schedule was changed! the second semester, it was necessary for several members to drop the club work. The president was one of those who could not resume the work, so a new president, Lorna Johnson, was elected. 1 he Glee ( lub appeared in several social functions of the second semester and rendered valuable service. Many club members entered the musical contest and all took great interest in the friendly rivalry. Pians had been made for an entire Glee Club concert, but owing to the Senior play, the coming grade operetta, ar.d the close of the school year, it will be necessary to give up the concert. However, we are looking forward to great things from our Glee Club next year.

It has been said by a magician that the prince will learn to see in that moment when he forgets himself long enough to be happy, but he continues to be the Grossest, rudest, unhappiest child alive. Then a song hurries past his garden and the prince is certain that the van- ished song can teach him how to see. Only two others have heard this, Bah- ette, the little shepherdess whose sheep have followed the runaway; and Paddy the swineherd, whose pigs have been whisked off by the same magic. The three children trace the song to Echo and back again. Caught at last, she returns the pigs and sheep and sings her secret, running off this time with the black spectacles. Whereupon, the prince open his eyes and discovers the whole wide world. EXTRA SCHOOL ACTIVITIES For some time there has been felt, especially on the part of the teachers, a great need for an organization of parents and teachers before which the vital school problems could be discussed and better solutions for them obtained. The great educational movements which are now in progress and the greater usefulness into which the schools are coming make the teacher feel the need for more co-operation between the parent and teacher, in order that, through a common understanding of their tasks, the influence of the home and the school may be in harmony. With these things in mind, a meeting of parents and teachers was called in the high school assembly room, on Monday evening, December 4, 1921. In spite of the very bad weather, a large number of par- ents and citizens responded to the call. All of the teachers were also present. Judge Link of Auburn addrssed this meeting on “The Boy and Girl Problem.” Mr. Green, County Superintendent spoke on “The Requirements of a Modern School.” After these two splendid addresses and several musical numbers by the High School Girls’ Glee Club. Mr. Tinney was appointed temporary chair- man of the business session and a permanent organization was affected. A committee had been appointed to nominate officers and to write a constitution and by-laws for the organization. The report of the committee was accepted and Mrs. W. P. Endicott was chosen president, Mr. L. F. Cooper, vice-president and Miss Hazel Chambers, secretary-treasurer. The first meeting of the organization was held in the high school assembly PARENT-TEACHERS ASSOCIATION President room, on Monday evening, February 13, 1922 with a very good attendance. At this meeting Miss Ethel M. Ross read, an excellent paper on “The Teacher and the Pupil.” Mrs. Waffle led in a general discussion which followed. Mr. L. F. Cooper made a very interesting talk on, “The School and the Commun- ity,” the discussion being led by Mr. Eakright. This meeting proved to be a very interesting one because home problems were discussed by home folks, those most interested in them. Several musical numbers were given by pupils in the primary grades and by the Glee Club. The last meeting of the year was held at the school building on Monday evening, April 3rd. Miss Groscup, county nurse, brought out some very inter- esting and profitable ideas in her talk on “The County Nurse in Relation to the School.” Attorney Mount , gave a splendid address on some of the vital school and community problems and urged bis hearers to make special efforts to aid in their solution. In the business session. Dr. Shumaker, chairman of a committee which had been appointed to nominate officers for next year, gave the report of his committee which recommnded the re-electione of the present officers, with the exception that Miss Alda Mumaw was recommended for secretary-treasurer, Miss Chambers having resigned her position here to accept one in the Chicago schools. The report of the committee was accepted and the following officers chosen for next year: Mrs. W. P. Endicott, president; Mr. L. F. Cooper, vice- president and Miss Alda Mumaw, secretary-treasurer. The constitution provides that the organization meet on the first Monday evening of each of the following months: October, December, February and April. As-it gets more and more active in its work, should there be a need for more than four meetings each year, this provision of the constitution may be amended. The organization has had two meetings this year, exclusive of the preliminary meeting, and is the beginning of a movement which can and will do great good, for the boys and girls of the Butler schools. The following reasons may be given for a permanent organization of par- ents and teachers: It will give a definite means of co-operation between parent and teacher and will also give stability to such co-operation. It will afford the teacher opportunity to make modern school aims and modern school methods clear to the parent who might be unfamiliar with them. It will give both parent and teacher a broader view of school questions in place of the one-sided outlook which either alone might have. The knowledge on the part of such organized co-operation between parent and teacher will be very helpful in solving many school problems. It will afford the teacher an insight into home conditions which can not be readily gained in any other way. ALUMNI The Alumni Association of Butler High School was organized in 1900.

M3HM. naawaivaH io.v oa FOLLIES OF 1922 B. H. S. CARNIVAL The annual carnival was held on Nov. 11th and 12th, 1921. This year the carnival was a greater success than last. The school tried to make it better all the way through, by not making it a class function, and they were very suc- cessful. Among some of the main attractions were the Follies of ’22. Every one seemed to enjoy this for it was something entirely different than anything that had ever been presented at our Carnival. A number of girls, gaily attired in beautiful pink costumes, sang popular hits of the season. One special feature of the program was a mirror dance by Naomi Lawson and Lorna Johnson. The Minstrel show put on by various students of the High School, kept an interested audience in roars of laughter. They were dressed in negro fashion which was very typical of the negro dress. Ralph Sturgis with his traditional razor and Russell Hoffer with his much beloved dice made things interesting between songs. Sarah Wright was also a main character and she certainly played her part well. The room which was in the hands of the Domestic Science girls, was ar- ranged very artistically. The decorations were very clever. There were Japanese tea rooms, two being served with wafers, cocoa, etc., at a time. Some of the side attractions were: Ring a girl and get a kiss, Candy Booth,. Chamber of Horrors, Flower and Lemonade stand. Motion Picture Show, Fortune Telling by Louise Brown, Take a chance on the Turkey and many others. Howard Dean was the lucky person to win the Turkey. He guessed 1845, and the number was 1847. The proceeds of the Carnival exceeded $250.00. This is to be used to buy the necessities for the school. Our Carnival seemed to surpass all the others around here, so let us help and make next year’s better still. SOCIAL ACTIVITIES JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET The Junior-Senior banquet was held April 30, 1921 at Hotel Butler. This was one of the most beautiful and pleasant events of the season. The lobby was decorated with Junior class colors and flowers. In the entrance hall the decorations were Senior colors. The dining room was handsomely decorated with potted plants and the class colors of purple and gold. The Senior table was exquisitely beautiful in its decorations of violets, the class flower and around it was- seated a bevy of girls in pretty party gowns interspersed with the male members of the class, whose more sober raiment enhanced the beauty of the scene as green leaves bring out the color of a rose. The Junior class president, Elmon Vernier, most splendidly welcomed the members of the Senior class and the faculty in behalf of his own class. Marcel Swift, the Senior class president, made the response, in a most able and pleas- ing manner. Mr. Forney who has won the admiration of his pupils in the short time he has been with them, acted as toastmaster, calling on the various members of the class and the faculty, likening them to the flowers in a garden. Mr. Green talked most interestingly on the Red Rambler, his central thought being to tell these young people to be broad minded and like the ram- bler, cover as much ground as possible. Mr. Aimer, representing a bachelor’s button, spoke humorously on the blessings of “bachelordom. ” Miss Ross, the trailing arbutus, a rare and lovely flower, likened it to the people of similar characteristics. Mr. Rakestraw spoke on the sun flower, whose chief faculty is strength, this being one of the most important points in character. Miss Gladys Cook spoke on the pansy, a symbol of thought. Virgil Hathaway discussed the dandelion which teaches the lesson of ‘ ‘ stick-to-itiveness. ’ ’ Marcel Swift, the forget-me-not, told of the fine attributes of character which cause one to be remembered. Atlanta Showalter talked upon the white lily, and its symbol of purity. Louise Brown talked on the daffodil which she likened to the merriment of life. Doris Jennings responded to the violet, a symbol of purity. Mr. Day, the former Superintendent, who was an honored guest gave a short toast on the numerous flowers of the garden. During the serving of a most delightful five course supper, Ora Blaker, of the class of ’20 entertained the company with piano selections. The after part of the evening was devoted to the following program: Vocal Solo—J. C. Blaker. Reading—Mowitza Hood. Violin Solo—Lester Snyder. Vocal Solo—Rebah Woods. Saxaphone solo—Harold. Lawson. Vocal Duet—Lorna Johnson and Naomi Lawson. SOCIETY COLUMN On January 30, Mrs. Earl Frisbie, a former graduate of B. H. S. and one of Butler’s best pianists generously responded to Miss Gares’ request to play before the High School assembly. The County is conducting a musical contest in the various schools and one of the requirements made is that we must be able to recognize at least fifteen out of fifty selections from famous musical compositions. In order that Butler might compete in this contest, Miss Gares selected this means of familiarizing the students with the various selections on the list sent out by the State. Sarabell Capp, a Sophomore in B. II. S. played with Mrs. Frisbie, “The William Tell Overture,” by Rossini. On February 22, Mrs. Frisbie played again before the assembly. This time playing the following: “Morning” by Greeg; “From an Indiana Lodge” by McDowell; “Amaryllis” (An old French air). Everyone appreciated not only the kindness of Mrs. Frisbie to come to us, but the skill and technique which she displayed in the rendition of the various compositions. SENIOR SOCIAL ACTIVITIES Ou March 9th the Senior class held a party at the School House. The sup- per hour was set for six o’clock, and all were there with “bells on’’ except Marge who came about her usual time, an hour late. The “feed” was enjoyed by all, and things would have moved along very smoothly, had it not of been for Sal’s big feet, which were continually in the road. The menu consisted of escalloped potatoes, baked beans, sandwiches, potato chips, olive, doughnuts, bananas, fruit salad with whipped cream, coffee and other things which are too numerous to mention. After everyone showed their lack of temperance by eating beyond their ca- pacity, the tables were cleaned, away and preparations for playing games were made. Mr. Ilawbaker, class teacher, also Principal, showed that he was game and in for a good time, by the way he entered into all the different festivities. The first game was “Jacob and Ruth.” After everyone showed their skill in determining each member of the class by his voice, another interesting game “Teakettle” was carried out. It seemed quite difficult for some of the bright heroes of the class to understand the difficult rules of the game but after all was made as clear as mud, it was more interesting. The Koo Koo Club for a long time has been quite a deep mystery and the brave Seniors were willing to be taken to its depths, the first victim being Leo Shumaker. Owing to some of the false decorations, and; the great shock, we noticed that Leo’s hair was almost perpendicular to his head, the other victims in their turn were similarly effected, except bold Gerald Anthony, who has not forgotten the effect of timidness which has still left its mark. After everyone had had an exceeding good time we journeyed home. FRESHMEN SOCIAL ACTIVITIES The Freshman class began their social activities with a weinie roast at Showalter’s grove on the evening of October 20tli. About forty Freshmen and their class teacher, Miss Gares, met at the school house and walked out to the grove. They sang and gave their school yells and thus enlightened their walk. , On arriving at the grove, the class found that the president haxl a good fire built, and everything prepared for the roast. The “eats” were soon de- voured, and everyone enjoyed the supper very much. Although a couple of boys fell in the creek, the remainder had a very en- joyable evening. The party broke up early, each one hoping for many more good times in the future. H. V. S. THE COUNTY CONTEST For the third time in the history of our public schools the idea of a County Contest was launched by Co. Supt. Clarence Green. The contest was to be musical and literary in nature and the purpose was to arouse interest and com- petition between the various high schools of our County. All the high schools of the county were eligible to send competitors to the contest. Butler, with confidence in her student body set out to work to show the county where she stood in music and literature. In the first contest held at Butler, the following students were given first honors: Vocal solo—Naomi Lawson. Piano solo—Sarabell Capp. Vocal duet—Helen Oberlin and Thelma Sechler. Reading—Sarah Wright. Discussion—Earl McDonald. On March 24 the final contest was held in the Presbyterian Church at Au- burn. This time Ihe judges’ decision granted three first places to the Butler contestants. Naomi Lawson received first for her vocal solo, Sarah Wright first for her Reading and Sarabell Capp first for her Piano Solo. This ended the contest for this year but in future years we hope to see Bigger Better Butler represented at Indiana in a state meet. GIRLS BASKET BALL TEAM Left to right—II. Packer, M. Graf, R. Eakright, Miss Ross, G. Keller, S. Wright, D. Sucher, Capt. Ruth Capp. RUTH CAPP, II, III, IV Capt. When Ruth goes into a game it is with a smile and look of determination. Making baskets is just a habit with her. MARJORIE GRAF, I, II, III, IV Marge has successfully held the position of forward during her High School career. Many victories have been largely due to her accurate basket shooting. RUTH EAKRIGIIT. Ill, IV Ruth invariably gets the tip off from the pivot position. She will be greatly missed next year. SARAH WRIGHT II, IV Sarah never loses her forward and makes goal shooting difficult for her opponent. GRAYCE KELLER, II, III Grayce, our other guard is a player we are proud to claim as our own. When she starts a ball across the floor, it usually gets there. HENNRIETTA PACKER, III, IV Henrietta has worked hard for the girls B. B. team. She can play any position and has helped the team in many games. JESSIE GRINDLE, II Jessie will he with the team next year. She has subbed in practically all the games. DOROTHY SUCHER, II Dorothy is a player who can play any po- sition. She has helped the team many times this year. GIRLS BASKET BALL REVIEW Poor Butler at their first attempt Was from a victory exempt, For though the score was not so bad, Six against eight was all we had. But sometimes fate is not so cruel For when a team came from Hamilton’s school We thought the score would surely do. Because it stood 43 and 2. Then Auburn came to our city fair, And because we had been beaten there, We decided to put them in a fix So we made the score 27 to 26. Ashley next did meet their fate When they entered in our “chicken coop gate For they were glad to escape alive, With a score of 5 to 35. Then next to Hudson we-did go, And there we made another show, Although we beat them, we did hate, The points were 35 to 8. When Hudson came, their hopes were high, Their object was to “do or die,’’ They blamed it all on our poor floor, For the score was 53 and 4. At Spencerville we did our best, To play that team was no mere jest, They also did all they could do. We won—14 and 22. At Garrett, Oh how sad the tale, Of this game we do weep and wail, But it will do no good to pine, ’Tliogh the score was 25 to 9. At Hamilton they used; us rough, But at the end ’twas seen, The score for Hamilton was eleven, While Butler had fourteen. Then Garrett came, with lots of “pep,” But we just had to save our “rep,” And so—to show we had some team, We beat them 12 and 17.

ELMON VERNIER, IJ, III, IV Sal began his basket ball career when a Sophomore. Playing in about eight games he finished that year by starring in the last half of the Angola game at Auburn. In his Junior year Sal performed in the center position. Few centers of opposing teams could out jump him. This year Sal was very fittingly elected Captain and he has shown that lie is a very capable leader. He has successfully played all the various positions this year proving himself a very valuable player. Ilis record is twenty consecutive games. Yea Sal. RALPH STURGIS, I, II Sturgis has an uncanny way of finding the range of the hoop. This was easily seen by his scoring. lie led the team in number of points scored. CLARK PLATT, III, IV Platt starred in the pivot position this year. His height made opposing centers look small. GAYLORD MULLETT, II Mullett’s nickname should have been “Stonewall.” Ask any of his opponents. frank McDonald, i, ii Dave made the team when a Freshman. “Nuf Sed.” LEO SHUMAKER, III, IV Doc has played both guard and forward this year. IIOMER CAMPBELL, II. Ill Homer’s luck in shooting baskets is a big boost to B. H. S. and a hindrance to oppon- ents. ALBERT HIATT. Ill A1 has an accurate eye for the basket. He gave creditable account of himself in the St. Joe game. GEORGE OCKER. Ill Fizz began his basket ball career this year. He subbed most of the year and starred in the Ashley game. - s BOYS BASKET BALL GAMES Auburn at Auburn. Our boys led off with a basket and kept Auburn guessing the first half. The first half was decidedly in Butler’s favor. A lucky shot by Auburn three seconds before half time put them in the lead 7-6. Poor luck in finding the basket in the second half defeated Butler. Auburn 18. Butler 9. Auburn at Butler. Butler was determined to avenge the defeat of the former week and led out in the first half to the tune of 15-12. The B. II. S. quintet played hard and held Auburn to a close game. Three long shots put Auburn in the lead. Auburn 24. Butler 20. Hamilton at Butler. This game was thought to be an easy one for Butler. The subs started the game. Hamilton made four baskets and the subs were taken out. Two baskets and two fouls were made by Butler and the half ended. The second half was a sad story for Butler. Hamilton 24. Bulter 8. Waterloo at Butler. Same old story this time. Butler led at the half 13-12. The old jinx still clung to the team. Waterloo’s game. Waterloo 36. Butler 21. Ashley at Butler. Old man jinx deserted the Butler crew this game. The team played clean and contistent ball and led at the half 16-13. Deciding that was an insufficient lead they threw themselves in the game with more vim than ever. Campbell starred for Butler with four field and two foul goals. Butler 30. Ashley 23. Churubusco at Churubusco. The day after Thanksgiving the team journeyed to Buseo. One could easily see the effects of turkey day on the team. Butler was forced to succumb to the fast traveling Busco Squad. Churubusco 46. Butler 26. Waterloo at Waterloo. Waterloo’s five certainly had Dame Fortune on their side. Fee sank bas- kets from all parts of the floor. He was credited with ten baskets and five foul goals. The Butler lads could not find the hoop successfully and so we were defeated. Waterloo 30. Butler 20. Flint at Butler. The Butler five started out with some passing that took the Flint bunch off their feet. The Flint five seemed unable to get the ball out of Butler s control. Our boys kept possession of the ball most of the game. The close guarding of McDonald was a feature of the game. Butler led at the half 20-10. Flint played clean ball as there was not a single foul marked against them. Sturgis led Ihe team in scoring with eight baskets. Flint went down in de- feat. Butler 34. Flint 18. St. Joe at St. Joe. The St. Joe quintet was the strongest aggregation that the Butler lads have met this year. Their team work was very good and their basket-shooting marvelous and the Butler lads were aroused and played their best. Butler was unable however to shoot baskets on account of the low ceiling and were defeat- ed. Williams of Auburn was the referee. St. Joe 35. Butler 11. Spencerville at Spencerville. Spencerville played a passing game and led the half with the margin of one point. In the second half McDonald was put out with the limit of person- al fouls. Beams starred for Spencerville with ten baskets. Spencerville 38. Butler 19. Ashley at Ashley. This was the closest game of the season. The B. II. S. “gang” started the scoring. Platt sank three baskets before Ashley knew that the game was on. Butler led the half 12 to 7. The second half was a thriller. Ashley was doing her utmost to top But- ler’s score. Allen shot three baskets from the end of . the hall. When the whistle sounded the Butler lads were in the lead. Butler 20. Ashley 18. St. Joe at Butler. The husky St. Joe five played whirlwind ball and led at half time, 22 to 13. Butler staged a dangerous rally in the second half but were unable to gain the lead. Vernier starred for Butler and Wade for St. Joe. St. Joe 41. Butler 29. Hamilton at Hamilton. Hamilton took the lead and held it throughout the game. When the whistle blew for the first half Hamilton was in the lead 20 to 4. Hamilton was never threatened and Butler went down in defeat. Hamilton 41. Butler 12. Edgerton at Butler. Edgerton was unable to cope with the teamwork of the Butler “crew.” Edgerton was able to make only one field goal in the first half. Platt le l the team in scoring, making six baskets. Butler 25. Edgerton 6. Metz at Butler. This game was a “crime.” While Butler ran up the score of 22, Metz was able to shoot one foul in the first half. The subs were put in, in the second half. Butler 58. Metz 1. Garrett at Butler. Butler had a long time getting started but when they found the range of the hoop the baskets began to count up. The half ended 18 to 4. The second half was the same story. Butler 32. Garrett 10. Lima at Angola. At 8:30 o’clock Thursday evening the Green and Gold Cagers trolted on the floor with new sweat jerseys on and blood in their eyes. Shortly after the referee's whistle sounded and the game began. Platt caged the first two baskets after which the Butler lads were unable to find the hoop again until the second half. This was due mostly to hard luck. The first half ended 11-4, Butler trailing. After the rest period the Green and Gold cagers came back with strong offensive, breaking the five man defense of the Lima Squad, and caging two baskets in less than two minutes. To check this fast offensive the Lima cap- tain called time, after which Lima took the lead. Every man on the squad fought his hardest but was unable to secure the lead and when the final gun sounded the score stood 19-14 in favor of the Lima cagers who earned every point they got.—Fortnight.

TENNIS ASSOCIATION Last year the tennis association was separated from the athletic associa- tion and made a separate organization. Under Mr. Rakestraw’s supervision the following elections were made: Ralph Kepler, pres.; Glen McClellan, vice- pres.; Ruth Capp, ass’t manager; and Leo Shumaker sec. The association laid out another court and secured backstops of wire for both. In this way quite a few new players were developed. Late in the fall a tournament was held. Matches for botli singles and doubles in boys and girls entries were played. Leo Shumaker was victorious in the boys singles; Ralph Sturgis and Leo Shumaker won the doubles. In the gild’s meet Mar- jorie Graf took the honors as singles champion. Lorna Johnson and Ruth Capp however secured the championship for doubles. The year as a whole was considered a year of success. This year an early election was held and Leo Shumaker was elected pres- ident ; Ralph Sturgis, vice pres.; George Ocker, ass’t manager and Huber Knis- ely, sec. and treas. Elaborate plans were made for a tournament. The singles were played off and Leo Shumaker was again victorious. Due to the inclement weather and the early opening of the basket ball season the tournament was abandoned. The tourney as far as it advanced was a decided success, and the association hopes to continue the tournament this spring if the weather per- mits. B. H. S.

Boys are men in the infant stage, although it seems impossible that B. H. S. boys will ever reach that exalted plane. Most boys like to believe themselves hard-boiled with a supernatural at- traction for the ladies. Boys are mainly employed by the feminine sex as Basket Ball tickets, jealousy arousers and escorts. A boy to be considered a good sport by the fellows must have a knack of sneaking Dad's Ford and an addition to his appearance in the form of a small stick exhaling smoke or a premature mustache. Some boys go in for Athletics, become heroes and are worshipped by the feminine population. If they do accidently make an easy shot from under the basket they promenade the floor with the air of Babe Ruth or a“That s Nothing you ought to have seen the one I made last week” expression. The Percival type with horned rimmed spectacles and an arm load of books is not to be found in B. H. S. for knowledge among the masculine sex is an unknown quantity. Mr. Nord, speaking of Botany, “Donna, what is Botany?” Donna, “Study of the Stars.” One of our bright Junior boys having made his first visit to the farm pro- ceeded to give this explanation of how milk was obtained. “You give the cows a drink of water and some breakfast food and then drain their crank ease.” Student : “How are you getting along with your fall work, Mr. Haw- baker?” Mr. Hawbaker: “I have a fine start—two 10 gallon kegs filled.” B.

Chemical analysis shows this high quality to be responsible for the ' greater number of larger and lighter loaves which a given ouantitv of OSOTA will produce. Each OSOTA-made loaf is a clear “bread white” in color with the • crust an appetizing brown “nutty” in flavor and of fine texture: a better looking, better testing, better keeping loaf. Continued labar- ’ atory tests during the process of milling keep the quality of OSOTA � strictly uniform. That s why the same satisfactory results are al- • ways possible. Better and larger-results prove the economy of OSOTA. Try it for your next baking. 1 HE NATIONAL MILLING CO., Toledo, Ohio 4 Millers to Discriminating Bakers.
