RENNER Social Science and Athletics We have enjoyed Mr. Renncr im- mensely this year and especially the daily tests which he so unfalteringly hurled at us. He did splendid work in athletics and the records show it. His one failing is women. - -. THELj IA clinb Foreign Language Miss Cline was a new one in our ranks this year and she has won many friends. Her chief interest is Latin and she took jileasure in helping put Butler on the map in the Latin contests. We hear she is going to leave wa ))ut why we do not know. Q Q EVA DOWNS Music and Art Miss Downs is right there when it comes to expounding music from those who are not gifted with the talent. We have found her to be a splendid companion and there is loads of fun lying back of those stern blue eves. HERALD BORMUTH Agriculture Mr. Bormuth has been with us two yeai ' s and we have learned to know that he likes fun and yet respects work. His one dcliglit is to laugh and in that he surely can win laurels as it is better to smile that frown. HELEN RENNER English Miss Renner is the quiet little sister of Mr. Renner but we do not think he takes after her. In Miss Renner we have found a helping friend and we think highly of her. She, too, intends to leave us but since she wears a diamond, her fut- ure is revealed. Page Eleveu l«xS $Kj Sx8 Kj K .

Yes, dreaming of school days o ' er, A scene of sui ' passing strangeness Appeai ' cd at my elianilicr dom-. The ])ortal grew widei ' and wider And finally vanish e l from sight, And then from the eastern horizon Came a glimmer and gleam of light. It slieil its j-adiance aljoul me, And I saw, where once was the door, A beautiful velvet curtain With the golden words, V ision of Lore. As I gazed in awe-st rii-keii silence That cui ' tain liegan to lise, . n(l I waited so eagei- and l)reathless Ijest some siglit should esea])e my eyes! IW ' vond was a sleep i ' Ui;ged mountain. Its summit I barely cdidd M ' e, And the path leading upwai-d was stony — Yes, stony as stony could be ! Near the foot was a large group of children All ready and eager to clind). laghtdieai ' ted and hii])i y tlu ' y started, lint soon to be weakened by time. Before Idiig, lariic nundicrs were lagging While (i1 hei ' s still went on linkway. And wlieu tliey came np to a high gate Some (h ' cided that il did not pay. The rest opened the gate and went onwai ' d. But the iiathway nuii ' c rugged grew. And despite their effoi-ts and stiaiggles ' Tw,-)s more than sonu ' could do. Then another gate was reached and passed And their eyes with tears were dim, But from the smile upon their lips T hnew they were liound to win.

And they opened the next gate with great ease Wliile joy shone in their eyes. Tlieii 1 heard a soft sweet voice say, Thongli no one conld I see, They ' re not at the top Init climl)ing, And great tlieir reward will be. The last path was ragged and painfnl. But their goal was now so near That they clind)ed it in but an instant, With never a sigh nor a tear. There tliey stood on a snuKith tlat platform SuiTounded l)y i-oses rare, Surveying the I ' est of the mountain With the very greatest of care. Tlien a heavenly hush descended And, presently out of the spell I heard that sweet voice speaking. And listened to what it would tell. Clod bless these who had the courage To endure the trials and pain. God pity the ones who have fallen. Who took loss instead of gain! -Shirley Diehl Page Twenty-three I Senior Class Prophecy I There are people who are always looking baek into the past. Wiiat ' f good does it do them? It only brings them discontentment from thinking of X good times which they have had at particular times. There are people who X look neither way and precious few there are. Then again there are some % who peep into the future to see what it has in store for them. Longfellow has written, Let the dead Past l)ury its dead, trust no Future howe ' er pleasant, but act in the Living Present, heart within and God o ' erhead. But there surely can be no harm in gazing in the crystal sphere to see what Fate has alloted to those who are leaving a place which they will always remember. So let me look and tell you what awaits them. I see Washington, D. C. in a state of great confusion. Everj where in the city, paper boys are yelling at the top of theii- voices, Extra! Exti ' a! Gi ' eatest debate ever held in Congress. The question for debate was: Should all the radios in the United States be destroyed? The affirmative speaker won the debate by pi ' oving that radios were a nuisance and saying two million words in thi-ee minutes. S. J. Aldrich had set his name down in the history of Congress. Li the sunny lands of California in Mount Whitney, on a protruding ledge at about an elevation of five hiindred feet, , its a girl Inuily engaged in writing something on a slip of paper. Upo n looking closei- I set Shirley writing a poem which is to make her a famous poetess. I see a large building in Tampa. Florida, with a continual stream of people going in and coming from it. On looking closer, I see a sign which reads, Madame Dorothea Beauty Shopjae. The owner of the Shoppe is no other than Dorothy Dohner who has pi ' ospered in this Imsiness. Biit Dorothy has not succeeded alone, for without the aid of the best hair dresser in the country, Bernice, she would not have prospered so well. Butler has trebled in size, so that it has made it convenient for a large beautiful hospital to be built on the East side. There is a sickening odor of anasthetics in every nook and corner of the hospital. Upstairs white clothed nurses are hurrying about. One nurse paiises to catch her l)reath which she has not had time to get and I recognize Irene Gunsenhouser. She has been made head nurse due to her skill and accurately performed tasks at which she has been working for seven tedious years. The Butler Hospital has had the good fortune to obtain the best sui ' geon in this section of the coiintry, and who was a former resident of Butler. Wade Newcombe has lived to see his hopes and aspirations take physical form. But if we hope foi- that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it, is the lesson Rev. L. P. Hul)l)art gave to his congregation of the LTnited Brethren church at Newville, which town has also increased iu size. He has converted many people and has done other good community work. Rev. Hubbart ' s wife, formerly Mary Hablawetz, has made for herself an honored and deeply reverenced place in the hearts of the people of the community. In Chicago I see hundreds of yellow taxi cal)s darting through the .streets of the metropolis. There is a traffiic jam due to a collision of a taxi and a Foi ' d. The driver of the taxi is Kenneth Jennings who has lost control of his car caused by the icy pavements. No one is hurt because Fate has chosen this method to unite old acquaintances. Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Jennings, Page Twenty-four ' ■ JxS «kSx$ xJ xJ xS kJxJxJ $ xJ TROPAEUM •-« hJ«$ «k$ «-S xJk$xJ SxJxSxS k$x8 kS x5 | « lonuei ' ly Omah Kline, have c-ome into the jjossession of a avge sum of money .ind real estate from a distant relative of (Amah ' s. They, in order not to forget the past, still cling to the old Ford. E. H. Keep, General Manager of the Auljurn Anto Sales Branch in Melbourne, Australia, has recently established his permanent home there. He has proved a successful business manager, but ini.successful in managing to secure anyone to share his l ife and success. A party of noted Americans are cruising around the world on the Jjewiston, a private ship owned by the great pharmacist. Lewis Kissinger, who has amassed a fortune by steady, hard work and honest lal)or. He has been fortunate enough to secure the services of the worthy sea captain. William Miller, to pilot the ship. Up in Alaska I see a desolate spot. . stunt man clad in l)rown furs, is bu.sily engaged in feedinu a lai ' c numliei- (if l)eautifnl. yet ugly seals. Some- thing is strangely familiar about the actions of this man as he feeds them and pats their shiny black heads. Oh, now I see who it is. No other than Norman Keller who has become immensely I ' ich from the sales of his seals. Over in Paris, France, Kathryn Smith is wearing a beautiful seal skin coat. Little does she know that one of her classmates has raised and sold the seal which A ' as taken to be made into a coat w liicli would be bought by Kathryn. But what is she doing over there? Just a moment. Now I see. She is the famous lyric sopranoist from the United States, who is making a tour of the leading cities of the world fulfilling engagements. A ci ' owd of Janapese are; gathered around a bill board in front of the leading pictui ' c house in Tokyo. The manager is P. B. Mutzfeld. who is making a fortune and enjoying life in being able to give enjoyment to the Japanese. A great change has liccn bi-ought al)out in the homes of Manila, in the P.hilippine Islands. The United States Government has sent an instructress there to start a Home Economics department so those people can learn more about the Aniei ' ican ways of savino- money. hraJth and time in the homes. The plan has proved a successful one because it is be ing supervised by a worthy in.structi ' ess, Margaret Lowe. Also the Government has sent to the Philippiiu s Harold Powell to show llir ])eo])]e Amciicaii ways of farming. They are tak- ing a great interest in this new work and many improvements have l)een made. I see in Buenos Aires, South . merica, in the University of the city, Floy I ' Jm, teaching English. She is one of the best read teachers in the country, and has no time to bother with mati-imony. The fertile plains along the Ganges River, near Delhi, India, are yielding better crops each year undei ' tlie supervision of Ralph Snyder. The Indians in this section are waking uji to the fact that they have let many years go by which could have been made more profitable. Tile best newspajier ever jDuljlished in San Francisco, is the The Times, edited by Mary Wood. She is very cajDable of doing this work, for which she seems to have been destined to do. Her daily editorials are of great interest to t .e people, for they contain much food for thought. I see in head lines on the spoi ' t page of the New York Herald, a man ' s name who has broken the world ' s sprinting record. His name is Walter Rank. The visions in the crystal sphere have become blurred and there is nothing else to tell. TIius ends a chapter in the Book of Life and a new one i)egins. — M. A.

It was pulilished l)y the Junior class of that year. The plan was not a new one for a model had been circiTlatiug among the students known as the Fly Paper. This was just a folded slip of paper whose dimensions were small in comparision Avith the pajter now. The Juniors were convinced that their plan had proA ' en successful so their next step was to choose a more suitable name for their paper. They at last decided upon Fortnite, which signifies the date of publication. In 192 2 the Fortnite was published by members of the various classes, each class having two reporters. But this method did not prove very satif:faetory and the publication again fell en the shoulders of the Junior class, who s.ill have the responsibility. The Junior Class of 1925-26 w ' s ' .i to tliank the business men for their advert ' stmenis and the various studenls who liave contributed different ar- t ' cles. They also wish to thark iMiss Diekinsrn a; d iMr. Goodrich for their Eervices in helping the staif ])ubii:;h the paper. : « The Staff 5 Editors Florence Maggert Frances Miller Business Managers Jerald Teutsch Ernest Hiatt Circulation Managers Herbert Tvson Raymond Snyder Helen Bryan Gertrude Bordner Helen Wagner Walter Fisher Colista Diehl Anson Smith Societj ' Editor Alumni Editor Reporter Boys ' Athletics Girls ' Athletics Joke Editor Faculty Advisors Miss Dickinson Mr. Goodrich ♦ Page Forty-one I x$x8xj «$ «j xj xj. «$xjxjxjx$ x$xjxs xj- TROPAEUM i x$x$ «K$x$xJxJxJ xJxJ xJxJx5 xS « xS xS | Hi-Y Club HI-Y CLUB Top row: N.

The ac- tivities of the yrar have been rather uumerons ami the Glee Club has had a busy j ' car. At the l)eginning of the year we entertained the studnts in Chapel by singing popular songs, -which seemed to please. Also we entertain- ed them at Christmas by singing Carols. We made a big hit at the Senior Pair in which we dres sed as farmer lads and lasses and sang iJojDular songs. • The Glee (_ ' lul) was also in the Operetta and tended to account for its success. In the Literary and Musical cnntest the clunais consisted of all the Glee Club members, and the double quartette consisted of Kathryn Smith, Mar- garet Telschow, Marcelle Smith, Donna Higley, Colista Diehl. Mary Wood, Margaret Ames and Floy Ulm. These girls have bime well and well deserve jjraise. Much credit is due to Miss Downs, the music supervisor.

Having no lo- cal contest, the first one was held al Walei ' loo ,i Iarch l!)th. Our reiu ' csenta- tives were : Chorus - . . - - Glee Club Reading . - . - Mowit .a Hood Oration - - - Carver Newcombe Doulde Quartette - Kathryn Smith, Margaret Telschow, Marcelli ' Smith, Donna Higiey, Colista Diehl, Mary Wood, Margai ' ct Ames, Floy Ulm. The judges awarded to Butler two tirst places: the oration and double ciuartette, for which we were very glad, although we thought we deserved more. The County Contest was held at Auburn, March L ' iith in which the victor schools were represented. The Butler double quartette won tirst place over Auburn and Ashley. In the oration Butler was given second place and we were very much disappointed. As a reward the double quartette had their pictures taken by an Auburn photographer and it was presented to Butler High School. The enthusiasm shown this year was splendid and we were re- warded, but may next year show Butler better represented and bringing home more laurels.

Another party which stands out in our minds as one of the high lights of our Freshman year, was our Valentine celebration. Every class before us has claimed to be the finest class to enter B. H.

Ted Harding and Billy Cummings, American engineers, accompanied by their black body guard, Samuel Jackson, come to work the Shah ' s mine. Ted falls in love with Zohdah, Billy with Lohlah, while Newabeh pursues Sam much to his discomfort. The Shah, who has other plans for Zohdah, returns from a triji bi ' ingiiig with him Somecraba, an Arab Sliielv, wlimn he wishes Zohdah to marry. A.s the story unfolds it is disco ' ered that the sheik is fl3 ' iiig under false colors and has to abdicate his throne. The Shah discovers this and orders him to leave, at the time throwing Ted, Billy and Sam into prison for their continued attentions to Zohdah, Lohlah and Xo abeh. X ' owal)eh, a Sorceress, makes the Shah see his mistake in imprisoning the American engineers. He consents to set them free and also consents to a triple wedding and as Ted said : All ' s well that ends well. ' D. D. ' 2(i.

Here ' s a letter from BarrJ Wis- consin. Who lives there that we know, anyhow? A tiny frown was on Leslie ' s forehead marring its pretty smoothness. Leslie Mayson, seventeen, a pretty girl witli eurly, broMii hair, large grey-blue eyes and slender figure, was spoiled.  She had been brought up in the city by rich parents, who allow- ed all her desires to be realized without thinking of others. She had nothing in common with her ten-year-old, red-headed, freekeled-faced brother, who was known to his playmates as a regular fellow. She even made him keep out of sight when she entertained company, because he was always stepping on someone ' s toes. Mrs. Mayson, tall, plump and matronly, was also proud, though not to the degree her daughter was. She was well liked by her social friends and always ai)j)eared correctly dressed and absolutely sure of herself. Mr. Maj ' son, kind and jolly, was everything but pi ' oud and having come from a large country family was very kind and gentle. He knew what it meant to suffer the hardships of a poor country liome and to have a good time at school houses and big barn dances and spelling contests and often chuckled to himself to think of what Leslie and Rayomnd would say in such circumstances. He could imagine Leslie ' s stare and exclamation of horror and Raymond ' s jolly Gosh, jest wait ' till I tell the fellers. Mrs. Mayson was often heard to remark, upon l)eing with her husband when he spoke to an old gentleman in grimy overalls, John, you will ruin our social standing if you keep speaking to such disrespectable characters. Mr. Mayson would only answer, Yes, Ellen, and thinls that perhaps it was best he hadn ' t told her he had loaned money to old Andrew Smith to jDay off the mortgage on his farm. What is it, Leslie? asked her mother. Oh, be careful, yoii are crushing your new organdie gown and .you wont look fresh and dainty when the young people and Lloyd come. The letter is from cousin Janet, the one father was telling us about Sunday. Listen to what she has written, ' Father is going on a trip to Canada and Bob and I will accept the invitation ITncle John has given so often to visit you. Let me know if this is satisfactory. ' Oh! mother, now I ' ll have to spoil the rest of the summer entertaining our country cousin and just as I was getting Lloyd to notice me, cried Leslie, disapi ointedly. Now, now dear, perhaps it will not be as bad as that although I dare say she and her brother will be countrified enough, but I would never dare to refuse since your father cares so verj much for them, so we will have to make the best of it, replied Mrs. Mayson. That evening as they were seated at the supper table, Mrs. Mayson in- formed her husband of the letter. The announcement was met with a good from Mr. Mayson, and Raymond on hearing it said, Honestly, will Bob  Page Sixty w ' $ s $ xs ' m TEOPAEUM S xJ jKjxS ; xJx$xJxS xJ«$x« x$xJ l $ come and stay -with me, just like a brother for a while? I know he ' s a dandy ' caiise dad told me all alioiit how he could ride a horse — gosh, a real big hors e, at that, he added wistfully. Now, .Joliii, I know you will l)e glad to see them, but remember you can ' t expect Leslie to give up all nf her time to Janet, and I dare say Janet won ' t care, lieiug country born and bred. You know Leslie has her social ob- ligations and is holding Lloyd Greyson ' s attention now, Mrs. Mayson re- marked, reproachfull.v. Leslie twisted her mouth in a grimace behind the flo ei ' s on tlie table and wondered what her mother w(ndd say if she luiew how small these at- tentions were. True! she was trying t(j attract him, but what girl didn ' t? Wasn ' t Lloyd Greysoii the i-icliest. and most handsome young man in their set? He had never |)ai(l Leslie any special attention, l)ut she was always try- ing to trap him. The day the young jieople had stopped at the Mayson home after a game of tennis, she had cajoled Lloyd into helping her pass the refreshments. Since that time I Irs, Mayson had tlie idea he was devoted to her daughter. Mr. Mayson looked at his pretty wife with eyes that seemed to see far beyond tlie beautiful appearance she made in a loose, straight gown of black satin, into her very soul and mind. Ellen, he said in a voice that was final, you and fjeslie shall see that William ' s daughter, Janet, is made to feel welcome in our home, and that she shares the same privileges as Les- lie for no purer, ti ' uer girl ever lived on God ' s earth. And, Raymond, I feel certain tliat you will do the same for Bob. Raj-mmid w;is t ' lithuscd over Bol) s coining and planned many good times for him. lint iDt so with Leslie, for she was decidedly provoked. The day finally came for their arrival and Mr. Mayson and Raymond met them at the train. Mrs. Mayson and Leslie pleading a soc ial affair as an excuse. Janet k ' ssed her uncle and gave Raymond a lu ' otherly caress. Oh! rncle John. she cried happily, isn ' t the city wonderful? You know this is tlie first time I have ever been in a tridy large city. How is Leslie? All the way down here on the train. Bob and I have been imagining how she would look. 1 said she has lirowu hair, curly perhaps, slender and pretty, isn ' t .she? Oh. T know I ' ll like her and Aunt Ellen, too. Under his breath Mr. Mayson breather an A-men but aloud said, Leslie is anxious to meet you and Bob. and I hope you like our city, dear. ' ' They arrived at the Mayson home in a short time and Janet jumped out of the taxi, followed l y her brother and Raymond, leaving Mr. Mayson to care for their l)aggage. She did not stop to ring the bell but walked into the long spacious hall, Raymond skipping ahead of them crying out, Mother, Janet and Bob are here Mrs. Mayson and Leslie, beautifully gowned, entered the hall and even before the greeting Leslie ' s keen eyes were aware of Janet ' s appearance. Her large, blue-grey eyes betrayed her surprise for instead of the downy country girl, she saw— Janet, a girl of eighteen, the curves of her body were well Page Sixty-one i . ? | S x$ « xM«$ « xJ xS .«x « ««S x$ TROPAEUM J « ShJ  xS SxSk$ «JkJ - kJ , x«xSxS , 1 rounded, yet could scarcely be called plump. She was tall as herself, with dancing- brown ej ' cs and smooth dark locks peeping out from under a clos ' ' - titting- hat. Her straight figure was enclosed in a light V)lue crepe gown, so neatly retrimmed and remodeled that Leslie was deceived into believing it a new one and her daintj feet were shod in black silk hose and patent leather slippers. Raymond, too, was neatly di ' essed and instead of the awkward clumsy over-grown hoy, he was more slender than his sister and had a happy mischievous smile. Leslie kissed her cousin lightly on tlie cheek as did her mother and then said, Well, cousin Janet, isn ' t it cpieer we are really cousins, and yet never met before ' ? ■ ' Yes, it is, ' ' agreed Janet, and do you loiow you look just as 1 imag- im d - -ou would. « and Yes, added Raymond, sis said you would probably be countrified awkv, l)ut I guess this is one time vou are mistalvcn, are ' t vox;, sis? «   The color rushed to Leslie ' s cheeks and turning to Janet she stammered out, Don ' t pay any attention to Raymond. 1 was talking al)Out another ctmnti ' y girl when I said that, and turniMl away to hide her confusion. ' Raymond, ' said her mother, sliarjily, take Robert to your room. Nevertheless, in spite of the apologies, Janet knew how matters stood and a wave of loneliness flashed over her which she soon forgot when Leslie made the following- announcement: I ' m going to a jiarty Frida.y night and, of course, want you to go with me. You will meet many people who are of the higher set in the city. Of course, since you are from the country, you wont be expected to talk much, but then I think you will like them. Thanks, Leslie, I should like to meet your friends, ' ' Janet replied calmly, but her thoughts were anything but calm. So this was the way hei relation regarded her ! It was too late to back out on her visit now, so she would have to make the best of it, but she devoutly hoped her father would make liis trip short. Thi ' time passed quickly, for Janet loved books, and si ent much of her time with them. A few days later while she was reading in the large beautiful lilu-ai-y she noted how tired her uncle looked as he entered the room and seated himself in a comfortalile rocking chaii ' . Slie went over by his side and seated herself on the arm of the chair and smootlr.ng his wrinkled brow, asked cheerfully, What ' s the matter. Uncle John, tired? Yes. it lias been a hard day and then I ' m blue, these beautiful summer • venings l)ring back memories, he rejilied, memories of my dear mother. Yes, I ' licle John, she said, sadly, I, too miss my mother, but then I kno - she ' s happy in that beautifitl home. The girls spent the next few days in shojiping and mal ing calls and then came the evening of the party. All Janet had heard since her arrival ■was Tiloyd. Janet had the idea he must lie a great admirer of Leslie ' s, because tliey talked about him so much. When Janet made ready to go to the party that night aiul finally went do- vn stairs she saw Leslie look at her in snri)i ' ise. Leslie, beautiful in a Page Sixty-two I $x$x$x$ xj $ x$xjxg. xj xj «$xjx$«$x$ TROPAEUM ■«xJx$x8 $x$xS xJ. ; xJxJkS x$ « «x5 1 light green crepe gown trimmed in yellow and deep green Avas more than equaled in appearance by her cousin. Janet ' s glossj ' long hair lay in waves and curls over her white forehead and the active life on a farm had given hei ' a complexion that called for no cosmetics whatever. Her beauty, emphasized by a peacock blue gown trimmed in soft white, lay in dainty girlish folds around her body. Leslie knew that, country girl or not, Janet would more than equal in beauty any girl that would attend the party. On arriving at the party Leslie ' s friends sought to be introduced to Janet, who met them graciously. T.,eslie skillfully kept near Lloyd, even manag- ing to sit out a dance that he didn ' t even mean to ask her for. At last he requested to be introduced to her cousin and Leslie did so with not very good gi ' ace and nuu-h to her displeasure he danced with Janet three times. w Leslie tried to console herself by saying he was doing it out of courtesy to herself, but doMn deep in her own heart she knew Janet was morthy of such attentions for herself. After the party as the gii ' ls were pi ' epariiig for bed that night Janet innocently ]-emarked, Lloyd Greyson seems very nice, doesn ' t heV Yes, ' snapped Leslie, turn out tlie light. I ' m sleepy. A few days later, Leslie, looking out the window saw the Greyson car in front of her home and Lloyd coming up the walk. ' . ' Oh, mamma, she cried, here comes Lloyd. Do I look all right? Yes, dear, answer the door, ' ' said Mrs. Mayson. Leslie obeyed, but was much disappointed to have Lloyd ask for Janet, saying he had promised to take her to his silver fox farm, and wondered if she could go (hat afcernoon. Leslie called Janet from the library and gave hei ' tlie message and much to her d ' sgust Janet went. The former spent the rest of the afternoon crying, complaining and sulking, but she had few such hours for this was the beginning of many good times for both girls, for Lloyd accompanied them to theatre parties, dinners and dances besides other en- joyable cceasicns and was very attentive to both. Janet had little to say on such occasions as Lesl ' e and Lloyd carried on the convei ' sation. It was after one of these many affairs tliat Leslie confided to her moth- er, mamma. I know Lloyd likes me. He is so kind and looks at me so queerly as though he could hardly trust himself to speak. Oh ! I ' m so happy ! Mj- darling, said iMrs. ] Iayson. It will make a lovely match. Just think of the family you will marry into. Leslie was happy, singing and acting ver.v condescending to her cousin, who seemed not to mind it at all. A few days before Janet and Bob were to return home Lloyd called at an early hour knoAving Leslie would be at the beauty parlor, and asked Janet to go for a ride with him in the country since it was a beautiful day. Oh. I should love to, she told him, I ' m getting homesick to hear the birds sing. The day was indeed beautiful and flowers bloomed in their gayest colors. Janet enjoyed the ride immensely, but at dinner she wished for her cousin, since .she felt she was usurping her place. In the late afternoon when Janet returned to her aunt ' s, she found Page Sixty-three that her father had arrived to take her home. Oh. daddy, she cried, wheu she saw him, I ' m so glad you came. You don ' t h)ok like your daddy ' s girl, ' ' he said, noting her Hushed cheeks and sparkling eyes. ■ ' I don ' t thinlv I am, daddy, and hid her face on his shoulder. Dail- dy, dear, I want to tallv to ' ou alone, she whispered in his ear. All right, himey, after while. He then joined in the general con- versation. Late in the afternoon .Janet and her father entered I he lil)rai ' y and Janet told him of the three eornei ' cd fr ' endship of Lloyd, Leslie and herself, and confided to him all that had hai)i)ened since her visit began. It was natural for her to confide in her father since he had for many years been both father and nmther to her. Janet was much sur])rised to find that her father knew of Lloyd Clreyson and corresponded with him a few weeks be- fore. Lloyd joined them at the supper hour and when they finished the desert Janet said, I think we have a little surprise for you folks and I should like to intrnduce to you Lloyd Greyson, my daddy ' s future son-in- law and Bob ' s brother. It will be a long time before he takes these titles, Imt I thought perha]is you would like to know it. There was a gasp of sur- prise from all except her father. Hurrahs fi ' om the boys and then Les- lie came around the table to her cousin and whispei ' ed in her ear, It ' s all right, Janet, you deserve him more than I, I ' ve learned a good lesson. Mrs. Mayson later confided to her husband, Well, if we couldn ' t hav = Lloyd for Leslie, it will raise our social position (piite noticeably to have him in the family. Velda Iluntino ' ton. The Mystery of St. Anne Seminary It was five o ' clock when Glenna Anderson stepped into her friend ' s room for a few minutes chat before dressing for the evening meal. At the St. Anne Seminary, dinner was served at six o ' clock sharp. Everyone was required to be there on time. From four o ' clock, the time les- sons were over, until six, the girls often passed their time in visiting their friends in the dormitory. Glenna found her friend sitting in an easy chair with a Latin book in her hand, and a heavy frown settled over her pretty forhead. Surely yon ' i ' c not frowning at your lieloved Latin, said Glenna, laughing. The hateful stuff! exclaimed Marian Merton as she spitefully tossed Page Sixty-four I« $ ««$k8«$ «Sx$ $ « .«! $xSh$ x$x$x$xS x$ TROP AEUM « kS « xS «8 S J $ JkJ x$ s x5 k$xS | back a black curl Avhieli had straj ed over her shoulder. Miss Bently says I simply must have my lessons hereafter if I expect to get my credit. I wish Madame Dunlay would let you I ' dom with me. You seem to get your lessons without any efL ' ort, and you read Latin as well as English. Won ' t you trans- late this last ]iara{i ' rapli for me? Glenna, as usual, translated for her and just as slu ' was laying the l)oolv on the study table, some one knocked at the door, ilarian arose and admit- ted Madame Dunlay. Avho smiled a recognition to the two girls and proceeded to tell her mission. AVe are expecting a new gii ' l at ti e-thirty. Shi ' will room witli you. I Avant yiiu to ] v ready for lier and if she is not too tired, bring her to dinner. She then left the tM ' O girls and tliey l)egan to talk of the n( w room- mate. ' ' 1 hope she is .jolly and interesting, said ilarian. Aiul I expect you want her to be bright in her studies — espeeially Latin, said Glenna mischievously. Marian laughed and answered in the affirmative. A few minutes later Glenna departed, leaving ] Iarian to receive her new room-mate alone. Wlien the dinner gong sounded. Glenna hiarried down the corridor and tapped on iLirian s door. The door opened, and Marian, elaborately dressed, joined her friend. Didn ' t she come? asked Glenna. ' ' es, but she said she didn ' t want any dinner. And Glenna! she ' s absolutely plain. Why. she — but just wait and come to my room and see her after dinner. Glenna had finished her nn-al before Marion had hardly begun, as she ' was so anxious to see the new girl. Oh. Glenna. don ' t be in such a hui ' ry. I ' m half-famished and want to finish my dinner, said Marian . But what is her name? ' ' aslce l (ilenna imjiatiently. Anna Worth, as plain as herself. At length ilarion said she was ready and they went to her room. There, busily engaged in unpacking an old looking trunk, they found the new (•-.nner. She was small aiul wore a simple black cotton dress. Her light hair was combed back from her forehead and done in a tAvist at the back of her head. Her face was pale and wore a shy, wistful expression. A formal introduction followed. After a few minutes Glenna said she must go. iLirian went to the hall Avitli her. What do you think of her? she whispered. I like her. ' answered Glenna simply. As weeks went by, Glenna and Aniui became very good friends. iFarian conld not see why Glenna. who was the most popular girl in the Seminary. slDuld take up with such a plain girl. Often times she hurt Anna ' s feelings 1) ' making remarks about her plain clothes, and had even asked her why she (lid not liuy jiretty dresses. Ore iliiy. in class. Miss Bently announced that there liad lieen a Latin pony taken from lier desk ;ind, if the mie wlio took it did not confess within Page Sixty-five a week, and were di.seovered, she would be expelled. After class, the halLs were dotted Avith groups of excited students discussing the affair. In one group Avas Marian and she said ; I can thiidv of no one who eould have taken it unless it was Anna Worth. Anna Worth, exclaimed the girls, Why, she is so quiet and inno- cent-looking ! ' ' Quietness often covers a lot of sins, ' ' answered Marian wisely, yhe never studies Latin when I ' m around. This evidence against Anna spread very quickly. Of course it wasn ' t long until Anna heard of it, and although very much hurt, she did not men- tion it. Marian no longer spent the evenings in her room, hut would always call on some of her frieiuls and i-eturn about time for the lights to be turned out. One night she returned a little later than usual and there was no light, save that from the fire, which nutde flickering shadows on the wall. Anna nad gone to bed and iliii ' ian wiiU-ied over to see whether she was asleep. Anna had taken her hair down and let it fall in curls over her shoulders and she looked like innocence itself. Why, she is really lu ' ctty, said Marian to herself, but the way she dresses and condjs her hair in tlie daytime is rediculous. She went over to the study table, lit a candle, got her Latin book, and fi ' oiii till ' bottom of lier tninl ' ; she took — the pony! She turned around, but Anna was st ' ll asleej). She started toward her easy chair and stund)led over the foot stool, then quietly sat down and began to study. ' She had nearly fin- ished jn-eparing her lesscju for the next day, when a startled crj came from the bed: Marian! Marian dropped iter lio(ik and looked up. You — have tlie pony? continued tjie surprised voice. The color left ilarian ' s face. She knew she was caught. It was no use to jjretend any longei ' and in anguisli she cried, Oh, what shall I do! She liegaii to pace the floor. Anna slipjied out of bed an ] toiu-lu ' il Marian on the arm. You must tell Madame Dinday, it is the only way. Marian stopi)ed and said, slowly, Yes, it is tlie oidy way. She paused an instant and then cried, Oh, Aniui, don ' t you hate me? Can you ever forgive me ? No, I don ' t hate you and I am ready to forgive you, answered Anna, kissing the weeping girl. And that night Marian sobbed herself to sleep in Anna s arms. Shirlev Diehl.

She is a good player and sure knows how to hit the basket. She also uses very good team work. She was not able to play in a couple of games but was on the side line giving her best support. She was missed ery nuich in these games. Helen ' s one weakness is a liking for a happy-go- lucky, likealile Senior. MARC ' ELLE SMITH (Side Center- Forward) Smitty Smitty has played on the team for two years. She is a fast worker and is right there when good play- ing is needed. Her kindness and politeness make her many friends. She has not fallen for the opposite sex (as far as we know). FLORENCE MA(l(_iERT (Forward) Flo Flo is a good sport and always goes into the game to win. She is able to fill the position of gua.i ' d and forward successfully. Her weak- ness is a Senior lad. She will be with the tt ' am next year. WAVA R0B1NS(JN ((iuard) ■■Wavy Wavy is always on the job when it comes to guarding. She certainly has earned a real position on the team. She is very dependal)le. She will be with us a couple more years. EDNA MOORE (Guard-Center) Ed Edna is a Freshman who promises to be a star player in the next three years. She was always on the job with a lot of pep and determination. We are expecting great things of her. Keep the good work up, Edna. LAVERE LINDEMUTH (Center) ■■Verie LaVere played as eentei- on the team. She was always there to take Bryan ' s place when she was not able to play. She played as sul) the year before, but gave it up before the year was over. We can- not depend on her for another year liecaiise she has quit school. GOLD A LOOMIS (Foi-ward) Shorty Shorty, is certainly a fitting name for Golda. She goes into the games with the determination to keep her opponents whether large or small from scoring. We are sorry to hear that she has quit school but hope she will return next year. ROBERTA WHITE Side Center-Forward) ■■Red Red played as sul) this year. We are expecting great things of her in the future. She was always on the joli when called upon. Her one fail- in is for a boy in the eighth grade living in the lun-theast part of town. COLISTA DIFAUj (Center) ■•Diehly Diehly came out as sub when the season was about half over. Slic showed good jDlaying when called npim. She is only a Junioi ' and we hope she will be on the team next year. Pier weakness is for a small light complexioned lad who resides on West Oak St. MILDRED LEASON ( Forward-Guard ) Milly Milly is just a Freshie. She is always ready to help when needed. She showed good fighting spiiit throughout the games. We are counting on her for three iiun-e years as a steady player. •«■ Page Eighty Summary of Girls ' Basketball Games OCTOBER 30— HARLAN HERE ITarlan visited Butler in the first game of the season for Rutler.

They did not run up as large a score as the year bi ' foi ' c. NOVEMBER 20— GARRETT MEETS BUTLER Butler 6— Garrett 18 This be ' ng the tinu ' for the (iarrctt game immy were on the sidelines. The girls put a lot of pep into the game but were defeated. We were all sorry. NOVEMBER 25— BUTLER IS HARLAN ' S VISITOR Butler 18— Harlan 15 This being the second time for meeting Harlan, the girls were de- termined to shiiw them they could in. The score was close but Butler suc- ceeded by winning with three points ahead. The score was just about that much in Harlan ' s favor Avhen they visited ns. DECEMBER 4— BUTLER GOES TO GARRETT Butler 10— Garrett 37 This was the second game with Garrett. We were eager to win, but it seems like we were not qualified to do so. We felt just as happy anyway. DECEMBER 23— ' WATERLOO HERE Butler 24— Waterloo 17 We welcomed Waterloo when they visited us for they are our nearest neighbors. The girls had pep and went in -with the determination to win.

Taken a ' ll in all, we consider this year ' s basketball, season a success, the team havinii ' won ten ont of the nineteen scheduled games. Coach Rcnner succeeded in turning out a good team from the inex- perienced group from which he was compelled to select and the final game of the inter-class tournament showed up material that will nudvc next year ' s team look mighty good, too. Besides the regular schedule five second team games were played oi which Butler won four. Each boy in High School outside of the regular men had an opportunity to practice and scrimmage in the gym two hours each week an l from the class group ; we find more promising material showing up that will wari ' ant a berth in next year ' s upper ten. The managenu ' iit takes this o]iportuiiity to thaitk the public for their interest and sui port during the season. We appreciate it very much. Out of the 385 total points XcAvcombe made 141, Oberlin 78, Hiatt 70, Aldrieh 38, Tvson 12, Slentz 23, Fisher 7 and Loomis Ifi.

Wade was captain and proved a very good leader. As he is a Senior, he has played his last games for Butler High. 8. J. ALDRICH-Senior S. J. should have started in basket ball sooner as this was his first year. W e all feel that if he had had a couple more years of experience, he would have l)een a great star. He coidd be depended on as a guard. HAROIJ) SLEXTZ-Junior This was Harold ' s first year out and he certainly is a stone-wall on defense. Harold was a iconscien- tious and hard worker. Another year should develop him into a fine running guard. PAUL OBERTJN-Sophomore Oliie didn ' t really get started play- ing the fighting brand of basketball for a while but toward the last he bad the old fight. He should de- velop into a real star in another two years. He liked the Ashley and Hamilton games. ERNEST HIATT-Ji nior p]rnie was the lightest man on the team and a hai ' d fightei ' . He also had a lot of tough luck due to in- jui-ies. With another year with B. H. S. he should make a great show- ing. HERBERT TVSON-Junior Herbert started out as forward but didn ' t find his real position un- til the season was nearly half gone. Herbie is a real guard with those long ai-ms outsti-etclied. Watch Herliei ' t his last year with Butler High, probably playi)ig guard. T:)RAYT()N L( )()MIS-Sophomore Drayton as a Sophomore has great possilulities. He can .jump and get the tip on some of the big fellows. Drayton stands a good chance for center position next ycai ' . He has a good short shot, and also a long one. WALTER FISHER-Junior Fish is the midget among the subs. He lu ' oke in several games and show- ed himself a very speedy and fight- ing forwai-d. P ish is handicapped on a small floor because of his size. He shoulil grow some this year. Watcli the speed merchant next fall ! NORJIAN NORRIS-Junior Noi-man is a mate for Walter in siDeed and figlil. He gave a good account of liiiuself whenever there was need. Same for him as Pish — he wants to !.;row ! MAKTI.X LBASON-Junioi j [artin came out for baski and made great improvement, another year he shcmld lie a contender for the first team.
