In doing this we feel no scruples in presenting our failures and have no vanity in relating our successes. We are not sorry for our false steps for they have led us to see the trae ones. On the t)th(M- haml we have pride in our progress. As we, fifty-one freshmen, meekly entered Butler Higli Scliool on September 18, 1923, a special room was assigned to us; we knew not why, but found out later — we were special students. In our ti.rst class meeting Ern- est Hiatt was chosen president, and to help him were Helen Bryan, vict ' -presi- dent ; Colista Diehl, secretary; Florence Maggert, treasurer; Lyston Sea.ii ' oss, sergeant at arms; and Miss ] IcB,rien, class director. Our insignia and motto chosen at that time have remained the same : the class flower l)eing the Ameri- can Beautv Rose, the colors Old Eose and Silver, and tlic motto, WE ' IjL FIND A WAY OR MAKE ONE. On Hallowe ' en we had our first class party. Thei-e was plenty of food, much fun, and happiness, things which set tin ' prccc(lcnt fur all our socials i that followed, and there were many. We learned many tilings fjnit first yea.r among which wen ' to realize our : responsibility yet feel our inferiority and to post our Speannint outside tlie school house door, for a new school building had been erected and it would never have done to violate the sanctity thereof. Only thirty-six were left to take up the torch of learning for the next year, but these of us did so gladly. Our exi loring was over, our greenness had woni off, and our self-assertion was no longer suppi-essed. Our officers were: Walter Fisher, president; Helen liryan, vice-president: Orace Garl, sec- retary-treasurer; and Miss Dickinson, sponsor. Our main olt.ject this year was to save money and get ideas for the pulilishing of the school paper the next year. However, aljout all we accomplished was to struggle with Oa sar and have hrainstoi ' ms over algehi-a. We conquered Casar and survived our fever, but spent too much monej ' on ponies and peneils to have much left for the Fortnite. Our little experience of ser ' inig, for the .Tunioi-s at their banquet was going to help us much the next year. We then padu ' d our hooks home to think matters over for the three months to follow. Again, we, once meek, once lively, stepped into the Higli School Building, but this time with a mori ' confident yet less childish swagger. We were Juniors — happy, capable, woi-fhy. Indeed othei ' s accused us of lieing favored Ijy the teachers; perhaps we were, thanlvs to the teachers. Our former pi ' csident, Walter Fisher, had proved faithful and competent so we .re-elected him. Ray- mond Snyder was vice-president, and Frances Miller, secretary-treasurer. JMiss Dickinson was our sponsor under whose able supervision we successfully, may we say, edited the Fortnite, and entertained the Seniors with a delightful banquet. Frances Miller and Floi-ence I Iaggert were joint edifoi-s of this pa- per and were aided by thirteen willing and aide staff managers. This year we learned what business life really held for us, and are grateful to our school for oft ' eiing so many oppoi-funities. Basketball and liaseball med- als were given to Harold Slentz and Herbert Tyson, I ' cspectively, as a token of reward for the good work and sport.smanship sliown throughout the year. mmmsmmmm fmxmmBmmmmmmmmmmfm mmfmmmf —23— mfiiwrnimmmWimm w sropamm— i aar iT T4iiaiswa?ifcTifW AYayAYf |g : Otis Kline had entered our class in Mareh, vacation tlie tlii,rd and last time. and tliirty-two stron we left for In Septendier, 1926, we entered Butler High School as a Senior Class. Un- der leaders Jerald Teutsch, president; Colista Diehl, secretary; Otis Kline, ti ' easurer; and j lr. (lOodrich, sponsor, we took up our work. Almost im- mediately, we began to sell tickets for a Ijyceum Course. Systematically we canvassed the town, and soon enough tickets were sold to insui ' e a good profit from the ])roceeds. Without a douht the most outstanding feature pi ' omoted 1)y us ilui ' ing this year was the class play; hut we owe to Miss (li ' eathatch and Mr. (loodi ' ich, our coaches, the success which this unusual production of Clarence merited. Fi-oni the proceeds of the lyceum and the play we are ;d)le to pulilish this an- nual, which, with our gratefulness, and sincerity, we leave to the patrons, alumni, faculty, and students of our dear Butler High School.

S. lield a pulilie auetioii ilay 24, 1927, to dis- pose of their innumerable treasures which they had accumulated in their vears at B. H. S. Before the sale started the will was read in whicli the ]xriceless possessions of the class were left to the successors. The followiiii ; wi ' i ' e 1lie contents of the will : To the faculty as a wlmlc we will the everlasting lovi ' and respect of the senior class. To Mr. Goodrich our heart felt thanks for his guidance during- the past year. To ; 1 !•. Wooden our appreciation for his advice and ever present will- ingness to help. To Mr. JMai ' ks ou,r civics folders, full to overflowing. To Miss Cline a well behaved fourth period assendjly. To Mr. Moore best W ' ishes for a happy married life. To Miss (i-reatbatch a class wlm understands and appreciates Emerson ' s Essays. To Miss Downs the paint lioxcs of the art class To Miss Chapman better help for lunchroom. Mr. R. V. Goodrich was appointed sole executioner of this will. At the Auction Sale new owners were found for the pei-sonal trea.sures of the various individuals of the senior class. Article 1. Lester Snyder sold his lu ' w Ghev.rolet. The bids came thick and fast, and Miss Chapman was .successful in getting the coveted article at the exhorbitant price of $1.98. Article 2. Ernest Hiatt was foi ' ced to give up his much treasured and useful ability to orate . This is luiw in the possession of Awilda Campbell. Article 3. Florence Maggert donated to the sale one of her handsome engraved photographs. A recent visit showed it residing on the mantle of a home in the 300 l)lock oa Oak St. Article 4. Jerald Teutsch donated his executive ability, and we are glad to note that next year ' s senior pi ' csident (who ever he may be) is now its possessor. Article 5. A knowledge of Latin is valued by everyone, so that the lower classmen wei ' c indeed fortunate to have Helen Wagner put hers on the market. Article 6. Raymond Snyder felt that he had enough interest in science, particula.rly physics, to pai-t with some of it. Velda, expecting to delve deeper in this held, purchased this interest fo,r the sum of .flOO. Article 7. Tony Sniitli, realizing that he had one cherished possession which might benefit his school day pals, donated his original humor. Arthur Campbell, by its aid, hopes to become the joke editor of the 1929 Tropaeum. Article 8. A knowledge of home economies is invalual)le to any girl, realizing this E.rma Jennings was happy to purchase this knowledge of ]Marj ' Kandel for the price of $LO0O.OO. Artificial 9. Student managers. How the Junior class needed one, and how elated they should be to think that Raymond Wise bought this position from one who has made this position an in(.lispensal)le one, namely Norman Norris. Article 10. Virginia Brown. ii|)on hearing of the auction sale requested that Kenneth Holman donate his cuiiy hair and that she be given a monoply on the bids. Since the senior class upon thinking the mattei- over decided to com- ply with this request, we expect to hear of Virginia ' s sudden beauty. Article 11. Ferda Hample was p.roud to beciueath his paper of jokes to • • —25— mmmmmmmmmm ¥ ®ropantm-i92r mwmwmmmwmiwiwmi m •2 Wava Roljinsun, who in turn donated these, with the statement that they were stale, to be sokl again. Article 12. A Lincoln Essay, was found among the debris in back of the school building. Walter Fisher finally laid claim to this, with the request that it be given to the most deserving member of the Junior class. Article 13. During her four yrars ' stay at Butler, Prances Miller had accumulated a certain amount of knowledge. Having no further use for this she offers it for sale. It was finally sold to Robert Gehring for the price of $99.99. Article 14. Knowing that medals are articles of pride to any man, Harold Hlentz placed his on the market. Ralph McCc-ullough is now wearing this as a chest protector in liaseball practice. Article 15. Catherine (Jln ' rlin sent in a request that some kind-hearted senior donate her knowledge of men to be sold. Colista Diehl replied to this request adding her .sweet disposition, however having one equally as sweet Catherine passed Colista ' s on to the yophomore class, retaining the know- ledge. Article 16. For some time -iohii ( ' aiiipbell has l)een in need of some quiet and sensible ways, so Ralph Stullei- was fiiuilly induced to offer his for sale. The Junior class and Faculty took up a collection and purchased these ways for $500, then presented these to Jehu, with a l)ook of instructions. Article 17. An indomitable spirit of optimism, accomi anied by the fa- mous Tyson gi-in offered l.)y Herb is now in the possession of Leo. Article 18. A horn, a painted scarf, several reed baskets, with several other articles, the work of a certain curly haired senior, Helen Bryan, are now in the hands of Ragna B,ryant.

Let the county sup- erintendent have these sub- jects requirCid in the dif- ferent years and provide that a student cannot take an under subject below the grade he is in.

We had several enjoyable parties among which was a Hallowe ' en party that gained much popula.rity Ix-cause of the simple lesson that four of our class- mates learned. ( ' ?)

Last fall we came back to school for a prosperous year, finding ' that still more had dropped along the wayside. Frank Parker and Harold Ash .joined us fo.r a part in the crusade foi ' knowledge. We were again represented in the quartette for the Music and Literary contest and Carver Newcombe gave a very good oration, winning first place in the first contest, but losing in the second.

H. S. Captain Helen Renner and Pilot Sturgis guided the ship past the first sand bars into mid-ocean. The newly recruited sailors, after a few weeks, became accustomed to the dignified ways of their elders. Then tlie stoi ' ms bt ' oaii ! Waves of Latin. Biology, English, Arithmetic, Home Economics, and Farm .Shop threatened to engi;lf the little skiff. As time went on, some of the men deserted. Those who .remained, however, were rewarded by easier times and several merry-makings. Of course, it Ijeing the first year for sailing, the little ship was scarcely recognized by its fellows. Father Neptune did not fo.rget so easily ; he gave fair weather and many happy remembrances. The second year, witli thirty-six tried sailors and a few new ones, the boat set sail; tliis time witli more confidence. Captain Naomi Chapman and Pilot Oberlin were in charge. Pleasant breezes guided, then, thi ' ough a fav- orable yea.r. Though sometimes the same foods, work, and amusements, over and over again, become irksome. I truly believe we are well started on a straight true course through life, and can i rove it in the next two vears. Eh. mates? — H. M. H. ' 29.

Through cooperation with each ()th ' r tliey have made this year one to he long remembered. The Seniors, who are now starting on the long road of knocks and hard work, have done all that they were able to make their school big- ger and better. Whether they have accomplished tliis oi- not is for others to decide. The class of ' 28 will soon be taking up the I ' cins of responsibility as SeniiH-s and leaders. They have distinguished themselves in scholastic as well as athletic fields. Among their athletes are Oberlin, Parker, Ash and Loomis. Ca.rver Newcombe has made a name for himsell ' in llic oratoi-ieal meets and theT ' e is talent among; the girls in the musical line. The Sophomores have coutrilmtt ' d a shai ' e to putting their school on the map. Fi ' om the class of ' 29 we were represented in the discussion by Bernard Stv.Tgis and Bernard and Allan Miller have distin,gui-hed themselves a s Latin students. They offer Beebe, Campbell and Shumaker as athletic stars foi ' the 1927- ' 28 season. Music and liti-rary talent is prevalent among the Sopho- more girls. The Freshmen have not yet had an oppoi ' tunity to show to a great extent what talent they may have, but tliey claim such athletes as Keefe.r, Hodge and Krontz and our famous yell leader, Blaine Rex, is a member of this class.

Science Club The Science Club was organized February 17, 1927, under the co-super- vision of ilr. R. V. Goodrich and ilr. H. Z. Wooden. At the organization meeting the officers were elected as follows : (Jtis E. Kline, President ; Harold Ash, Vice-President; Ruth Noragon, Secretary; Vii ' ginia Stone, Treasurer; and Paul Oberlin, Sargeant-at-arms. The purpose of the Club is to ])ring together the eligible students of the High School who are interested in learning and applying scientific ideas. Pro- gressiveness is the keynote of the club, and a general diffusion of knowledge pretaining to science its endeavor. Besides this purpose, however, the club i — indirectly — introducing a spirit of friendship among the members by means of initiations, and at this writing, a party is being iDlanned which will bring the members closer together so cially. The club meets eve.ry three weeks. At these meetings interesting jDrograms have been held, in which current events, pertaining to science, and special programs are given. All freshmen are excluded. Upper classmen are eligible if they have taken, for at least one year, a subject related to science. The highest spirit and enthu.siasm have been shown so far by the people of this club. LTnder the leadership of Mr. Goodrich and Mr. Wooden, the club could be naught else but successful. It was through the efforts of this club that the people of our city had the pleasure of seeing Mr. Williams, the electrical wizard, perform his experiments. 0.

Their selections were well chosen and rendered, according to compliments 7 ' eceived from various listeners from the audiences who have heard them. A high school orchestra has a g.reat influence over its members since it brings them into contact with what is best in musical lines. Although four of the memljci ' s will be lost by graduation there is no doubt that there will be new ones to take their places and it is hoped they may have a successful orchestra next vear. ex m wMmmkmmmmmmmmBMU Mm Mmmmmmm kfM fM ' mm —45— mmmmmnmmmimri ®i?f oiropantm-iga? mfmmwmmmimimm 1 m m .

Music— Literary Contest In the niusie and literary fields Butler is justly pi ' oud of her success. On March 11th a local contest was held in the gymnasium for the pur- pose of deciding who should represent Butler in the District meet. Mowitza Hood was chos(Mi to I ' cpresent the school in the reading, Bernard Sturgis in the discussion, ( ' ar -cr Newcoml)e in the oration, Doris Kester at the piano, and the double quartette was composed of Colista Diehl, Florence Maggert, Helen Bryan, Marcelle Smith, Donna Higley, Cfolda Loomis, Ruth Culbertson and Mildred Leason. In the District meet with St. Joe and Waterloo, Carver Newcombe won hi ' st place with his oration on the United States Constitution. Bernard Sturgis won the right to represent B. LL S. at Aubui ' u in the discussion. Due to the illness of Mowitza, Helen Hanna loyally came to the rescue and made a splendid showing in the reading with only five hours prepa.ration. At the county meet lioth Carver and Bernard did very well and each was awarded t]iii-(l place. Prospe ' ts foi- next yeai- a,re very In ' ight. None of the individual con- testants graduate and only three meml)ers of the double quartette. i m — 4 — - itiMiiMmwMi ¥ oirwitaatm-Har wmmiwmmwmmiwi m Demosthonian Literary Society The Demosthonian Literary Society was organized in 1922. This society gave programs every four weeks. The following year was spent in the com- pleting of the organization witli a fcAv programs rendered. In 1926 a new jjlan was devised. The pupils of the high school were chosen so that the talent was divided evenly with Helen Bryan as president. It was decided to render one program during the year 1926-27, and at the latter part of the school term to give a joint program with the Antonians. ' The Demosthonians gave their program December 9, 1926. The program was well patronized as it was given in the evening and the public was invited. TJu ' program was as follows : Piano Solo — Doris Kester; Oration — Carver Newcombe ; Violin Solo — Allan Miller ; Current Events — Otis Kline ; Piano Duet — Donna Higley and Helen Bryan; Double Quartette — Carry Me Back to Old Virginny — Donna Higley, Marcelle Smith, Edna Moore, Helen Bryan, Harold Ash, Otis Kline, Carver Newcombe, Walter Fisher ; Reading — Helen Hanna ; Cornet Solo — Har- old Ash; Essay — Dish Washing and I — Velda Huntington; Piano Solo — ■ Robert Gehring; Jokes — Prank Parker; Reading — Marcelle Smith; Saxaphone Solo — Ruth Noragon; Dialogue — The Train to Mauro — Virginia Brown, Leland Dielil, Romaine Campbell. — H. B. ' 27. :S :S ' Antonian Literary Society The two literary societies were rearranged at the beginning of this school term. Unfortunately most of the talent of the high school was in one society, so the entire school was divided, with equal talent on both sides. It was also decided to give the programs in the evening, free of charge, for any- one that wished to attend. The Antonian literary society has given one eve- ning program this year, which was a great success. The Auditorium was filled. Every one that attended enjoyed hearty laughs throughout the entire pro- gram. The program was announced by slides on the screen just above the plat- form. Each one taking part was to represent some famous person of that particular profession. Jokes and witty sayings were also thrown on the screen between numbers. The program was as follows : Piano Solo — Bernice StuUer ; Reading — Buren Ulm ; Violin Duet — Nor- man Norris and Keith Beebe ; Debate — Resolved that Needles are more useful than pins, Lucile Hamman, Pauline Hubartt, Ferda Hample, Keith Beebe; Piano Duet — Florence Maggert, Colista Diehl ; Vaudeville Act, A Day on the C4olf Links, — Florence Maggert, John Campbell; Double Quartette — Lucile Hamman, Catherine Obe.rlin, Colista Diehl, Florence iMaggert, Norman Norris, An-on Smith, Paul Oberlin, Ernest Hiatt ; Biography of Louis Pasteur — Herbert Tyson; Piano Request Numbers — Ora Blaker; Clog Dance — Blaine Rex; Old Fashioned School Play — By the Group. — Colista Diehl, Pres. mmMm nmmmmmMmmmmmmmmmmMmmm% mMmfmm.

(Urnpaemn— 192r The Junior-Senior Banquet The Annual .Junior-yenit)r Banquet, given in honor of the Seniors, was Iield May 21, 19 26 )iy the class of ' 27. At 7 o ' eloek, to strains of soft music, the guests formed a double line and maxehed through an archway which led them into an enchanted garden. No one would have recognized the staid old (tym, for glorious had it become with its garden fence, gateways and luige tree, lui- fler whose sjjreading branches were the tables. These decorations together with dainty hand painted favors fo,r the girls, gaj ' nodding daisies for the boys, frilly nut cups and unique place cards were carried out in the green and gold color scheme. It was not alone a feast for the eyes for a delicious four-coui ' se dinner was served and following the dinner, toasts we.i ' c given by Walter Fisher, Junior Class President ; Wade Newcombe, Senior President ; Colista Diehl, Miss Ren- ner, Floy Ulm, Rayminid Snyder. Mr. Wooden. Florence Maggert, Margaret Ijowe. and liss ( ' line, with Mr. (ioodrieh r.cting as toastmaste.r. All agreed it was a ln cly banquet and the Junidi ' s hated to say goodbye to till ' Seniors for they realized tliat never again wouhl they l)e iDermitted to gath- er thus again. On Fridaj ' evening. May 6. 1927, in Junioi-s entertained with a banquet of love. honor of the graduating class, the ly appointmi ' nts at the Hotel Butler. Tile two cla.sses assendiled in the loljby of the hotel and then to music fur- nished by the BlaJvci ' orchestra, they entered the dining I ' oom where they found places at the tables, beautifully decoratetl in rose and silvei ' . the Senior class colors. TJie place cai ' ds, favors and programs were also very effectively carried out in this i-oloi- scheme. Tlie welconir adi ' i ' css was given by the Junior Class President, John (. ' amp- bell, and in i-esj-onse tlie Seniors were represented by Jerald Teutsch, tlieir President. The three-course dinner was excellently prepared and served and between courses were given special numbers, — the crowning of the Senior queen by the primary pupils, v,-ho pi ' esented each guest with a lovely pink rose, the Sen- ior flower, readings by Miss C ' l ' eatbatch, and vocal numliers by King Olje.rlin. Of coui-se the entii ' e bariqu.et ' as accompanied with nuiiibei-s by fhi ' orchestra.

The Seniors wish tu express, at this opportunity ' , their appreciation fo.r the elfoi-t put foi ' th l)y the hosts and hostesses to entertain the class of ' 27 for the last time. This lianquet has strengthened the feeling of friendship between the two classes which will not soon be foi-gotten and the Juniors are preparing to take up the place of honor. l)eing left liy the cla ' -s of ' 27, as Seniors of ' 28.

Every depai ' tiiient, t ' l ' oni the ijriniary to the senior class was repre- sented in some way. (Jn entei-ing ' the west dooi ' one was confronted with four attractive in- vitations to enter the four gratle i ' ut)nis. l oom one contained the exhibit of the first, second, and third grades. Room two held the woi-k of the fourth and fifth grades and room thi ' oe the woi ' k of -Junior High. The art room i-cmaiiicd true to its name for here was a canopy of blossoms. , Around the walls wei ' c reed baskets filled with flowers and the tables were fiU- ed with beautiful silk scai-fs all of which had lieen made by the art class with • Miss ] )()wns as teacher. Miss Chapman ' s Ilinh .School sewing class held their dress and ai)i ' ons on display here too. In tht ' hall leading to the High school was the High School manual train- ing and agricultural exhibit. All hert ' was interesting and eidightening ; we learnecl that we actually have a fui ' nitui ' e factory at school. The history .I ' oom contained I ' elics of the lettt ' rs and manuscripts of the Civil wa,r up to the Woi ' ld war. Many economics charts, letters, and postei ' s made this T ' oom intei ' cstiug. In the domestic science room was a table set with delicious and tempting food, all ready to be eaten. The domestic science and agriculture department presented a style show and farm playlet, respectively. Upstairs, room five held the King ' s English exhibit. The themes, charts and posters here were unusual specimens of English work. The Latin exhibit filled I ' oom three and the whole world may now know what Butler High school pupils think of Latin. In this room were excellent drawings of geometry figures made by th( solid and plane geometi ' y classes. The physics and chemisti-y laboratoi ' ies were filled full of apparatus in- cluding a hot water heating system and a kitchen water system for the home, a distilliiifj plant, a laboratory made phonogTaph needle, and an alternating- light, which showed the word Physics to the world. The chemistry class had an exhibit of home made extracts, dyes, glass etchinigs, and the like. It is ho])ed that stu lents, patrons, and faculty are all benefited by such exhibits and that they shall grow Itetter and better in the future.

At this banquet Frank Pai-ker was elected Captain for the year 1927- ' 28. These banquets were certainly appreciated, and show a mighty fine spii-it toward the school. We also wish to tlumk the ])ublic for their patronage and fine .sioortsmanship shown during the basketball season. m 8 I % ®!t!p 3rnjia um— 192T i 9 € m Basketball Team CAPTAIN PAUL (JBERLIN— Junior— Forward. Paul was chosen to captain the Green and Gold Cagers during the season of 1926-27. Obie proved to be a very able captain and was one of the high point men. We certainly can hand it to Obie for his fighting spirit and he has another year to play for the B. II. S. Ask Obie about the Ashlej- game. ERNEST HIATT— Senior— Gua I ' d. Ernie has played his last year for the B. H. S. team and certainly made life miseralile for the opponents offense. He was a bear on long shots and often broke through the opponents ' defense for underneath the basket shots. m HAROLD SLENTZ— Senior— ;ua 1(1. Harold also has played his last year for the B. H. S. and was a hard, con- scientious worker and made things tough for his opponents. He has one weakness and that is for a little blue-eyed girl in the Freshman Class. PRANK PARKER— Junior— Forward. Frankic was the smallest man on the team, but he more than made up for it in speed. He starred in the Auburn games. He has another year to play on the B. H. S. team and should make things uncomfortable for the opposition. HERBERT TYSOX-Scnior— Center. Herbert has also played his last game in a green and gold uniform, and he has been much credit tO ' the school. His fine lighting spirit, backed by clean living and that broad smile in all places whether losing or winning, have won Herb many friends and admirers. Best wishes for the future, and we are sure that nothing but success will come if you face life with that same fighting spirit. S- WALTER FISHER— Senior— Forward. Fisher has phiyed his last year fo,r the B. H. S. and was one of the smallest men on the team, but he more than made up for it in speed. He probably would have become a star had his wish come true, that was, to grow during the summer. DONALD KEEFER Freshman— Guard Joe made the team his first year and still has three years ahead of him ;o play on the team. He was a great defensive guard and ought to develop into a star before he graduates. He has a weakness for a certain Sophomore living on North Broadway. . mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm mmmimmmmmmmmmmmmi (Sl}t Olrn antm— 192T |f I 1 1 ! MARTIN LEASON— Senior— Center— Guaxd Although Martin did not get to play veiy mueh we can hand it to him for his fighting ' spirit. He certainly passed the ball when he played and sacri- ficed his own chance to make baskets to others. KEITH B KEBE— Sophomore— Forward Keith still has two moi ' e years to play fo,r the B. H. S. and is a shark on long shots. He ought to do wonders during his Junior and Senior years on the team. HAROLD ASH— Juni -Guard. Harold did not get to play very much on the team, but had the old fife when he did. He will bear watching during his last year on the team. Harold has a weakness for a Senio,r girl of the blonde variety. Among those who deserve honorable mention are : Arthur Campbell, Drayton Loomis and Harold Hodge, who should give the regulars a run for their positions on next year ' s varsity squad.

After a few days of practice on the school ground the team decided they were good enough to take Edgerton across, but seven innings showed the green and gold diamond stars were not up to form yet. However, the score did not tell the true story of the game, as much better playing was witnessed, than was manifested by the score. The next two weeks came along with lots of wet weather and a bad ground, and the next games were playeci with the smallest end of the score for Butler. Good weather then brought long and hard workouts by coaches, Goodrich and Renner, and a winning streak started which resulted in six consecutive victories, including the old .rivals, Auburn and Garrett.

To hold securely in our heart, A song that never dies. — Marcelle Smith ' 28. HARD TO BEAT I love to chat With intelligent folks. You learn something good Grack practical Jokes. But the unlearned and stupid Have nothing to say. They rather object To the real smart way. The students in our class Are hard to beat, We stand at the fi ' ont We never retreat. Our motto is Purity, Knowledge supreme, Believe me we get there And that is no dream. m -By Donna Higley. SPRING The spring has come with flowers and birds, And all green life is new ; The swelling buds fragrant and fresh Are sweetly l)athcd in dew. The cares of winter have passed away. And bees will soon be humming. The sunny days have conae to stay, For all, a ,ioyfi;l time is coming. So while the days are blooming and free. And nature in beauty dressed. Let ' s acclaim the spring with its color and life. The time of year that ' s best. ' -Vara Fifcr.

AVATER Water is very deliteful too have around of you on a liot day and it even feals good to have sum cold poored down your haek hut on tht ' other hand, it is not so pleasant on a cold daj to be slipped up on liy sum guy and have him dose you with sum eold 11- wich p.roves evrything has it ' s day. Vv ' hen you are thirsty water taistes better too you than eiiything else does but Avhtn you are unthirsty you would sooner eat a bar of eandy. Moral — ev- rything is of beiietit if it is Used at the vito time. AVhen you see a little crick buljlilmg cheerfully along you think — G, hain ' t nature gi-ate, but when you are about drowned b - a flood of the crick you think: — darn that crick. If you go too the oci ' anbank to sea the huge waves .iumping around you haA ' e an awful f( aling but if you take a vide on a ship your fealing is stil worse awful of a different kind. When you look at the huge waves you feal like swim hut when you jmnp inn and a wave hits you, you feal like a reck, wich proves sum things are grander at a distants. Water is also iiseful in other weighs sech as makiiiii mud pies, to use in water pistels, make snow and too stop buildings from changing into ashes be- cause of fire. It is also useful if you have too tak a pill or too wash down a cookee a generus ant compells you to eat. If it was not for water Trudy could not have swam the Catilina channel and gayned sech faime, also Venice would not bee sech a grate sity. What would happen two the navy if their wei-e suddenly know water? Wliat Avould becomi ' of the submarine or A ' iagura Falls or the grate lakes? Jjittle boys do not like water to be washed inn but like too jump around in sum puddle and get all dirtier than wet. A chicken does not have nuudi of a chance in 11- hut a diud ' C is expert, which ju ' oves evryone has his peculiar ' ocation. If it was not for water their wood not - hen a grate Hood and Noah wood knot have bilt thee a,rc and bin in the j-iible. Water snmtimes causes floods wich kills pe])le but it is the peples fault themselfs liecause they should had lived on higher tiround, wich proves you should all-ways look for a e. it befour you locate yourself snmplace. : if: S!

There ai ' e times when it com foils me in Iiours of dist.ress; for instance — mental work ■ — the kind wJiere yon are tryin i ' to fix a tiling in your nnnd and it doesn ' t want to stay fixed. Fany are the reeitalimis and ]iarts in lialogues ha ' e I learned and rt ' eited into the martyred ami iintiriiii; ears of my faithful fi ' ii ' iid. It has seen the e ' olution of my poor brain in trying to make things stay put in my head, from Twinkle, twinkle, little Star in my pi ' imer days — past Christmas at I ' uidvin Holler at the one I ' oom school td my fii-st original talk o,r es ' ay in public. ]5ut, oh, what a liy])oci ' ite it is! How one little duglike r ' cepta(de can possibly heap so much torture and misei ' y on om ' s head is inconceivable. Yes, I called it doglike, for like a trustful puppy it never lea i ' s ycni. You will find it by your side in the midst of joy, the most happy game of dolls ox music and its as sure to follow the most b(nintiful meal as the stomach ache is to fol- low the eating of reen ajjples. I remember many a time of it robbing my good times by calling in the midst of my fun, come, now, you ' ll have to play with me, and somehow you alwavs luive to obey that lieckoning call ' specially wdien its seconded by your mother. E -en tho ' you are dressed to go away and those heaps of little imps called dishes are lirty you I ' oll up your sleeves with none too good a g.race and bewail youi- bondage of slavery to the dislipan. Have I foi ' gottt ' U tliose days wdien I gathered u]) my playthings or boid s and started cheerfully out of the room to lia ' e my master call, come back here, young lady, I ' m first? T should say not ! T p.ray that someday some benevo- lent person will fi-ee women from dishwashing as Tiincoln freed the slaves! Fo,r the benefit of m. - tio ' tuied fellow-women who have been doomed to this same fate and ha ' e my di ' gree of horror of dishwashing I pass on to you how my sister and I liave held battle with innumerable stacks of dishes. We named them all! Yes, all of tliem. It gixcs one a ft ' cling of joy to be able to find eiKUigh names in the lOnglish laiiii ' uag ' foi ' the infiniti ' number of dishes. Plates began with I ' — so of course I ' atties. i ' auls ami Patricia wei-e among the list. There wei ' e Cora and Clan ' ( ' up. fanny b ' ork and evei ' so many and in exti ' eme eases a few original names. To var.v this course we would at times tell where each dish (jireteuding it a person) lived and the first letter indicated the town or state — for exam]ile. plate — Pa.ris. and so on. Rut not excelling in geography we never got more than two dozen dishes located. Don ' t laugh, you men, who ai ' c unac(|uainted with the misery of the dish- pan family. A woman who is faced with a future, punctuated at regular in- tervals liy dish washinii. as they nearly all are, is an object of pity and needs some such thing to occupy liei ' mind. Another way to combat this e ' il is Inning two fellow suffei ' crs wiping dishes at the same time.

Though the heavens shake and the earth be rt ' Oioved 1 -e.rily Ix ' lieve that the dishpan with its soapy dishwater and its sticky dough pans will remain forever. 1 pass on to you the song my sisti ' r and I waslied dishes to, singing it in all manner of tones : To the Tune of I ' m Forever Blowing Bubbles.

The studious y iung fi ' llow. w lio had ali ' cady disclosed his whats and why fors to the ci ' y hi ' st |)eison in the city he had spoken to, was l ' ]dward Beck.

Yes, I guess he Won ' t (h) much hai ' iii if he stays wdici ' e he is now.

Tells all about the big holdups last night. Hay! Well, gee whizz, you ' d think he knew more about it than the newspaper. Never can tell, maybe he does. Ed walked on down the street to the I ' estauraut where he was accustomed to taking his meals. As he sat down at the table the tii ' st lliiiig he saw was the evening paper with the head line: Big Holdup Robbei ' v. ' I might as well read it, he said. Two men lield u]i on street. Hic liiiiidrcd dollai-s taken. Rolilter escapes. He shoved the paper away. should he worry aljout something like that? His teachers, his school woi ' k and the Ijusint ' ss world was all he could think atiout now. Why spoil liis own happiiU ' ss woi ' i-ying about others ' misfortunes. As he was walking home about nine that evening, he was suddenly con- fronted l;)y a man masked in black with a revolver in his hand. Put ' em up. Ed, he said. Ed was surprised to hear the bandit call him by his hi ' st name. V - doiibtedly this was the one that had done the other .robbing, but how did he know him by luime . ' Ivl was dnndit ' dundcd. but thci-e was nothing to do but put up his liands. You have a pretty good gold watch, haven ' t you, Ed? He pulled the wat(-h from Ed ' s pocket and put it in his own. Was it? It sounded so much like Max, ])ut it couldn ' t lie, ] Iax wouldn ' t do a thing like that. Max Dilton ! Is that yon. fax ? v saiil in a whisper. Yes, it ' s me. but 1 ' ' e come to the eonclusidii that you ' re not safe. You ' ll apill tlu ' beans sure. You ' d better cor.ie with me. Ed, covered with a .revolver, followed him to the edge of town and out in- to the country. After they had walked several miles. Max lead him down a by-road, and up to a little deserted shack in the edge of a wood. What do you intend to do to me here. Max? Ed asked. Oh, you ' ll be all right, don ' t m ' oi-i ' v about that. Just step inside, and if you l now what ' s good for you, you ' ll kcrj) this to yourself. He struck a match and lighted a lamj) that as close by tlu ' dooi ' . Every- thing looked as though it had l)een made ready. What was Max intending to do? 1 wonder where Ed is today? He hasn ' t been tn any of his classes, the girls at school were saying, the next day. Ivl was missed. Everyone seemed to enjoy having him around, and evci-yone was wondei-ing where he could be to- day. It was the first he luid missed sinre the lieginning of the term. He may be sick.

I thought it would save him a lot of worry, so I just let it go, and waited for time to make things right. Four years ago our concern was robbed of several thousand dolla.rs. The i-obber was caught some time afterwards, and is now serving an eight year term iu prison, but the money was never located. It made quite a weak spot ia T your little .jokes, I ' . Well, so much foi- (ithci- Inisiiu ss to talk in our business, but I knew if 1 told your fatlu-r he would worry. Now we ar completely recovered from the loss and I felt that j ' ou should know aliout it since you have taken your father ' s place in business. Vou have been a very successful young man, Mr. Beck, and I want to congratulate you. ' Thank you very much, Fr. Sullivan, but do you remembei ' the man ' s name that is serving in prison? His name was Dilton, iliix Dilton. They said he was wanted at the time for other rob1)eries in the east. He ' s onlj ' serving an eight year term and that is alxiiit half ovci ' now. He should hn c had fift.v. I bi ' licvc in insuring protection. I wouldn ' t be afraid to stake my last ernt that Dilton has I ' obbcd his last time. This will be a lesson to him.

The next morning Ed lioarded the ti-ain. Not for New Yorlv. but for Joliet where the state prison was located. He went to the institution and asked aljout ] Ir. Dilton and if he would be permitted to speak to him. Max was in his cell. The guard opened the heavy iron door to let Ed in. It was closed and locked Itehind him. It was a different Max that sat there on the bench gazing at Ed. His face had clianged from that haughty look to one of a crushed ai)pearance. Well, Max, Ed began. I wondered if it would come to this. lUit it has taught you a lesson, hasn ' t it? The shabb,v young man, grown old, dropped on his knees at Ed ' s feet, and sobl)ed like a child. ' Oh, Ed, he said, You were the best friend 1 ever had, but I didn ' t realize it. If I could onl.v have looked ahead. If I could .just have luul a lit- tle sense. Now I am ruined fo,r life.

He wanted .Max to feel and feel hard the tei-i-iblc truth of what he had just said. i No, Max, I know you ai ' e i-ea ly to li ' e a new lite. When you are free fi-oiii here come to New ' ork.

A NARROW ESCAPE It was ill the moiuitaiiis of Keiifiicky about sixty-five years ago that a young man moved with his wife and small s(ni, .loe. ' i ' om, the young man, worked very hard in summer in oi ' der to obtain food I ' or his I ' amily in winter, lie also hnut- od and trapped in the cold months of uinler whicli liel])cd sonic, ' i ' lie Indians lived close by and for some I ' cason they disliked the white man. (_ ne lught Tom was going to a neighbors who had two sicdv diildren. He intended to stay with them while the poor tired parents rested. While on his way there he met an Indian, known as Indian Jack, who was singing and act- ing rather quee.rly. Indian Jack was not an uncivilized liulian of whom wo read in stories, but he was not as safe as he might have bci ' ii. He had given up the wild woods life and was living in a little cabin close ]iy. but when he be- came angi-y his savagery came hiwV full force. Tom stopped this drunken Indian ami said, Iirave, will you give me that bottle? indicating the whiskey flask wlii(di the Indian carried under his arm. The Brave t;rnntc(l and sliook his head. A dollar? asked Tom, hohling out the Inaght shining coin, . gain lie shook his head. The young num slipped the dollar in the Indian ' s hand, izrabbed the bottle and thi ' cw it against the roid s. Tom slapped his hoi ' se ' s side and i;allo])cd away. Indian Jack went in the opposite directicni, straight to the home (d ' Tom. He boldly walked in. Kose, Tom ' s wife, sat before the tire trying to read her Bible by the dim light. At the entrance of the Indian she started up ancl backed against the wall. Where is the little boy? he muttered, ' ' where is little Joe? She sluxik her head. Won ' t telll said the Indian. Again Rose shook her head. All right. said the Indian. I shall put yoit where you will want to tell. He seized hei ' , stcppt ' d upon a stool, caught her clothes- line and tightly l)ouiid her to the brace log. Then he said, When you are ready to tell where little Joe is, then I will k ' t you down. He picked up the stool, the oidy one which the cabin alforded, and walked out in front, leaned against the cabin and began to smoke. : «  ■, n % mm ®l?f Uiropatum-lSZr W ifMMlMmBWit W Rose sobbed and sol l)( ' d.

THE REWARD OF VALOR Early in tlie summei ' of 1794 an Indian stood on one of the rolling forest- cov ' i ' ed hills of Sontln ' i ' ii Indiana. He was tall, sti ' aifiht and, although far from handsome, yet he ear]-ied liimst ' lf with sueh dijjnity and i;i ' aee that he appeared to be far superior to any eommon man, whether red or white, who nuKht visit that fi ' ontier. ]-!efore him lay a scene the lieanty of which only an Indian, or i)erhaps a few of those frontier scouts who loved the forest !is it was, could appreciate to thi ' I ' nllest extent. . t the foot of the hill upon wound a i-i -er, swil ' t of c.urri ' nt and gieaining- here and there 111 the distance were other hills, some quite ill with gradual slopes and rounded wood wliicli lie stood in the last rays ol ' the setting sun. high, others hardly initieeable Init covered tops. ' I ' he setting sun with its mellow golden light shiiung upon thesi hills made long shadows down tlie sides of some, while others were flooded with the warm glow u]ion their westei-n slopes. The sun sank lower and the shadows lengthened, but not until the sun had entirely disappeared below the horizon did the Indian stir. He stood with his feet slightly apart, his arms folded aci ' oss his breast and his head high. Again and again he looked out over the couidry that he loved so well. Once, as the darkness began to thick- en at the foot oi ' the hill, he turned his head and appeared to be listening. Then Jie scanned the slope bai-k of him and presently as though satisfied with his ob- servations he once more turned his gaze on the landscape to the west. In a few nunutes a yoniig man dressed in hunter ' s clothes and with a long rifle in his arms, emerged from the underln-ush and stepped beside the Indian. He did not speak at once iDut he too looked Westward. Finally he said, Ah, ' tis a wonderful country, is it not. Lone Wolf? M.y young friend sjaeaks the truth, replied the Indian in. a low solemn voice, But the home of the Indian will not remain such bnig. The white man has come and before his strength the Indian must go, even as the frosted leaves are driven before the winds of Autumn. The white man will strip the hills of their trees, he will clutter the rivers with his mills and kill off the game from the forests. The white man and the red man cannot live togethtcr in peace; the Indian must go. Ah, Lone Wolf, I only know how time. you speak, said the young man, a little bitterly, And yet you are tighting for the white man. Why is it that you do not join your red brothers and slay, massacre and scalp as they do? They are no brothers of mine, returned the Indian with quiet dignity, I was born far to the eastward and as far back as I can remember my tribe was always an enemy of these Indians. But when I was only a boy of five I was carried away by several white men and put in a school where I learned to talk and read a little of the white man ' s tongue. They thought they were doing a great thing for me, Init they only laiined my life. They stole .just that many yeai-s from me and caused me to lose the Chieftanship of my tribe. Deer- foot, if I ever find the paleface that took me fi ' om my father ' s camp, his scalp shall hang at Lone Wolf ' s girdle. Early the next morning Lone Wolf and his friend, Tom Langsford, who was the young man that the Indian calh ' d Deerfoot, wei ' c paddling down the river that wound around the l)as(; oi ' the hill where they had camijed. As they ' §$immmmmmmmmfmmm mmMmmmmmmmmfmmmmfmm. —75— m m - iiifi (3to asuu liZZ mWMiiMm i Yftsjiwt rounded a bend iu t5ic river they saw, some distanee ahead of them, a young boy in ;i canoe i ' oing towards the rapids. They knew that it would mean death 1o anyone who would try to go over those rapids in a canoe, We must save him if we can, said Tom to the Indian. Ijonc Wolf nod- i r ;in(i accordingly they st ' Ut their boat aheatl as fast as tlicy could. As they di ' f. ' W neai ' er to the other craft, Tom called to the l)oy and told him of his danger. Hcai ' ing this the boy became frightened and would have been unable to bi-iufi his l)oat to shoi-e had it not been I ' or the assistance of Tom, who dex- terously transfcrrcil himself from his own to tiie other canoe. The two boats wci-e siion ili ' awn u]) on the shore and the boy took tjieni to their camp where tlu ' y found the hoy ' s father, ill ' . Conway, and his sistci-. wlui was al)out a year younger than Tom. Also there was an Indian guide wlio looked at them shar ' ]ily and soon after disajJiieared. When Tom expi ' cssed his surprise at seeinu a ttirl so far away from the fort, Mr. Conway laughed and said, When I innmised .lack that 1 would take him with me, Mary made me promise to In-in;: hci- too. She is forever wanting to no with me on all my trips. 1 ' ve never seen a ,L;iil that liked adven- ture ami the forest as she does. W ' ell. thought Tom, It sure doesn ' t hai-iii pri ' ttiest girl I ' ve ever seen, that ' s sure. Alou l In are in a very dangerous place here. The Indians arc as soon as tlie American ai-niy moves against them ■would be sal ' e should you fall into their hands. Oh, I don ' t believe there is any real dani cr, gui(l ' told us that we were only a few hours march fi ' om the fort. A few hours! exclaimed Tom, You ai-c at least two days of good travel from any chance of safety. Youi ' guide was nn(loul)tedly leading you away fi-om the fort with the intent to kill or at least make prisoners of all of you. AVc must start back at once. All that day the.v pushed forwai ' d through tin ' forest. That night Tom and the Indian dccidi ' d to camp in an old log cabin that had been built by so-me trapper. It had only three sides, the fourth side having ]ieen left open. Fear- ing an Indian attack, they pulled down some of tlu ' upper logs and built them up along tlu ' open side. Mr. Conway ' s former guide had not been seen after he had left and Ijone Wolf was of the opinion that lu ' was one of the leaders of the Indian war parties. Lone Wolf and Tom took tuiiis at watch through- out the night, but Mr. (. ' onway and his two children wei ' c so tired after the long day ' s march, that lhe,y were glad enough to sleep. . hout four o ' clock the lu ' xt morning, Ijouc Wolf, who was on guard, awoke Tom and the two held a hun ' ied consultation. The Indian had heard the startled cry of a liii ' l sudilenly aronscd and 1 he call of an owl that sounded un- natural to his keen ears. After a I ' ew words with Tom the Indian slii)])cd away nu a scouting expe- dition, anil Tom, with the foiur rilies that tln. ' y hail, stacked around him stood guard alone. As he looked at the dark woods he saw several forms moving about among the trees. Evidently the Indians were coming closer. Tom de- cided to awaken Conway and his children, rathei ' than to have them startled awake. This he did and presently Conway ajjpcarcd. Wlu ' re is that Indian! he asked. I shouldn ' t tliiidx you would trust him aftei- the way my guide acted. He has gone out to see how much danger there is, replied Tom. lier looks any, she ' s the ■ said, .Ml-.

Evidently he had licai ' d e ' crv wortl Conway had said. His eyes were narrow and his mouth was st( rn. Kven as Tom looked he dropped one hand on his tomahawk and the other nil his Iviiife.

' ' That is him. to be .sure, lie said, stepijing toward the Indian. But Tom was liefore liim. For (Tod ' s sake get back! he cried, giving Conway a push backwards. He ' ll kill you. As Tom turned from Conway hv saw croucliing lu ' liind Lour Wolf anotlie ' ' Indian, raising Ids tomahawk to sti ' ikc. With ;i ci ' y of warninL: ' to liis friend he sprang upon the savayc. i:raspiny the arm thr.t held the weapon. A lirief struggle .resulted, ending wlieii l oiie Wolf killed the Indian with his own tomahawk. F.rom the suri ' dumling woods came a sci ' ics of yells and the crack of ritlcs. Bullets thudded against the logs or wliizzed through the air overhead. Tom. Lone AVolf and Conway returned the tire as fast as they could tind anytliine to shoot at. In till ' suddrn turn of i ' eiits Loiic Wolf had apparently foigottei: about Conway, ihii ' y and her brothel ' 1 ame forward to help at reloadiiiii the I ' itli ' s. although aiiainst Tom ' s jirotests. Thus the li ht coiitinuid for nearly an hour. For the first time in many years Tom feared the outcome of the battle. He and Lone Wolf had been in such places before, and Tom was not accustomed to wori-y how an encounter with the Indians might end. He had fought foi ' his life knowing that he must win. lUit this time it seemed different. Not only did the fate of Mr. Conway and his son depend upon them, but also Mary. Should she be captured by the Indians — Tom felt a chill go through him. No, that should nevi-r happen as long as he lived to jirevent it. It was then that he realized how much he really cared for her. It was getting gi ' ay in the east when the Indians madi. ' a rush on the log hut. Three of them dropped as Tom and Lone Wolf rapidly fired. A fourth went down ruider Lone Wolf ' s tomahawk and Tom succeeded in knocking a iifth seiisi ' li ' ss with his gun.

Abi-aham Lincoln was born into an en i riniiiieiit of extreme poN ' erty an 1 illiteracy.

Did his illitei ' ate cnvii-onmcui ba,r Jiis wa - to fame. ' Most decidedly they did not. His la(d of kimwledge gave him a strong incentive to learri more ami tlu ' more he li-arned the more he hungered for knowledge. His ancestors on his father ' s side of the family vei-e cei ' taiidy not an in- centive to learning, because they wci-e not definitely known bi ' yond his gi ' and- father, and he certainly was no source ol ' ins])ir;i1 imi. Lincoln ' s fatlier was a. lazy, shiftless type of individual a ho was uneducated and did not encourage education or learning in his children. He was not content to remain in one place but was always shifting about. i i ■, 5 m. . mfmMfMMfMimMmMMwmmymMfMKfmxmwmm —78— itIM ¥ Clropantm- 1B27 Oil the otJiur liand J incolii ' s niuthcr was vwv an insi)iratiuiL to the hid. Of a delicate nature, she did not lon remain in the harsh wilderness, but passed into her etei ' nal home when the boy Abe was ten years old. Services were not held over her jii-ave until a preacher happened along ' one year after- ward to perform tlie ceremony. After her death she was always more or less a blur in I iiu-oln ' s mind. She helped him with his lessons whenever she could and always encouraijcil liiin to study. Lincoln, himself, said of licr, ' all that I am or ever hope to be, 1 owe to my ani;el mothe.i ' . The first twenty-two yea.rs of his life were spent in the wilderness home of his father, shaping- his character as he chopped rails. When he was twenty- one his fathei ' moved to Illinois on the l)ank of the Sangamon ] ' ivei ' . Abe help( d his father beconu ' establislied in his new hoiiie liefore he sailed his slii]j out upon the sea of life. By this time Abe was si. fei ' t four inelu ' s tall, sti ' img as an ox. his liaii ' stood out in all directions from his head and his tace was thin ind homely, tinder that homely face, howevi ' r, was liiilden one of tiie most ])eautiful char- acters known to humanity. His character was like his body, strong, generous, honest and sincere. His sincerity was decorated with his i ver present sense of hunu)r. Lincoln once said of Jiis education, 1 spent aliout one year in school and luive not been to one since. He got most of his education by hard studying and experience. Soon after setting out U])(in the sea nf life, he went (Hi two tlatboat trips down the Mississippi .river to Xew Oi-leans. On these trips he i;aineil some practical knowledge and saw the institution of slavery at woi-k. On one of these ti ' ips he saw a sla e anetion and said to a comiianion, If I ever get a chance to hit that thing, I ' ll hit it hai-d. After i-eturning from the flatboat trips he became a clei-k in a Salem store, but was not very sTU-cessful, as he would .rather lie in the country and prop his head up with a I ' oll of muslin and study grammer than to wait on custo- mers. While in this position as clerk his honesty was revealed to a marked de- gree. One day a woman gave him six cents too nuich change foi ' what she bought, so at night, after the stoi ' e was closed, he walked five or six miles to take back her money. Anotlu ' .r timi ' he did not L:i ' e a woman lier right weight of tea. so he walked a long distance to make the cori ' cction. When the people heard of him doing such things they gave him the ajtiiellation Honest Abe IJncoln. Soon after Ijincoln ' s expo ' iences as a gi ' ocery clerk the Black-Hawk W ar broke out. Lincoln volunteered but did not do anything extraordinary, ex- cept save the life of an old Indian. He said that all the battles he fought were with the mosquitoes. His consolation was that. I killed as many Indians, as they did of me. He was di ' feated when he I ' an L ' oi- tlu ' Illinois legislature. Iml as he said. that was the only time I was defeated by the people.

This is the one hundi ' ed and tenth anni H ' i ' sai ' y of the l.)irth of Wash- ington, he said. We are met to celebrate this day. Washington is the mightiest name on earth — long since mightiest in the cause of civil libert.v: still mightiest in the moral refoi ' nuition. (])u that name an eulogy is expected. It caniu)t l)e.

When the s]iell leif liim he ex])eiMeneed the uliiiosl I ' elief. but the dread of theii ' re- turn was constantly overlianging him. His mentality was by no wise affected by these worst of plagues, but during- their prevalence he was not himself. His 111111(1 and brain i ' re elea.r when lie was free friim these torments of the i! ' .alad,v. The aiils of the diictoi- were of no avail, as the ailments had to run their course. When these affected him his agony of mind was intense, and he was indifferent to everyoiu ' and e ' ei ' ytliing ; he wanted to be alone; darkness had an attraction for this soi ' ely st.rickeii man. who, unaccompanied, spent h( urs wanderiim in the bl.-u-kness of iiiuht. rc uardless of wind, rain, snow or cold. Ijincolii was entirely untaiiiled liy our dangerous mo lern aiidiition for money. Rather was he of those who. as the reat scientist Agassiz put it, have no time foi- thai tri ' ial aim. hincoln ' s heai ' t was set on- other things, the troubU ' s of his naticni. In the legislaturi ' Linculn ■as not ontstaiiding. He was merely a good whig, as h ' ' x])iesscd it. Me was a fail ' talker, decorated his talk with fi;nny stories, and a staunch aiKdcate of internal iiii])i ' o ' eiiieiits. He introduced one slavery bill that did n it succeed, and ' oted on many other slavery bills. 01 ' course he always voted against the institution of slavery in ' ach case. When- ever Ijincolii said anything his hearers knew it was the truth. When Abe was ii it in the legsilatnre he was surveying land o,r slndying law. He became a Fair lawyer, liut (.lid not make much money, for lie would not take pay From m ■ peojile, and would not take a case if he thought his client was guilty and should be imnished. This sliows his Inniesty and gen- erous spirit. During this time Lincoln had gradually iiiii rovt ' d until he became a great speaker. He was sincere and when he siioke his eyes lighted up and his man- ner become fiery. His audiences were held spelliiound by his eloipient manner of delivery. In IS4(i he liccame one oF the law makers oF the entire country. Lincoln M ' as known t lironi;lioii1 the nalioii. and he began lo express his idea oF slavery ill his speeches, lb ' said that owners ot ' sbncs should not take them into new States or tci ' i ' ilin ' ies. In ISfiS the great Lincoln-Douglas debates occurred which had no little effect (ni Lincoln ' s |ilaee in tlie election of lS(i(l. In tlu ' se speeches he ex- pressed his political ie vs and also drew out those of Douglas to that gen- tleman ' s great disconi Fort. Lincoln had a broadiiiinded, shrewd type of debate that made an opponent feel -ei ' ' uiicoiii Fortable. Lincoln had a habit of facing si|narely the issue and thinking through to detinite and co.rrect coiiclu- snnis. In eighteen linndrcd and sixty the Democratic party split into Northern and Southern Factimis, while the Keinililicaii ]iarty stood firm. Douglas was m ess: as. ' 1 ( i, :S ■m ' £ ' IS. i 1 i K) ' the Northern Democratic nominee, Breckenridge the Southern and Lincoln was the Republican candidate. The result was naturally that Lincoln was elected. Shortly after Ijincoln took the oath of office some of the leading politicians wanted to domineer him by telling him how to run tlie government. Prompt- ly he gave them to understand that he was chosen by the people to sail the ship of state and he proposed doing so. During the war he was ever kind, gentle, generous, courageous and hon- est. Many peculiar requests were brought to him which he dealt with m vari- ous ways. His sense of humor was often manifested in his decisions. A congi-essman, who heard that a friend of his in the army had been coui ' t- martialed and sentenced to be shot, failing to move Secretary Stanton to grant a pardon, rushed to the White House late at night. The president had retired. He forced his way to the president ' s bedroom and earnestly besought his interference, exclaiming, earnestly: This man must not be shot, Mr. Lincoln, I can not allow him to be shot! ' Well, said the president in reply, I do not believe shooting will do him any good. Cxive me that pen. And so the pardon was granted. President Lincoln received the following letter from an indignant private: Dear President : I have been in the seiwice eighteen months, and I have never received a cent. I desire a furlough for fifteen clays, in order to return home and remove my family to the poorhouse. The president granted the furlough. During the war the slaves were freed and given the right to vote. The war ended when Lee surrendered at Appomatox Court House in 1865. Lincoln was elected to serve a second temi of office. Probably the two best speeches of Lincoln ' s are his Gettysb rg Address and his second Inaugural Address which contains the famous paragraph so characteristic of Mr. Lincoln : With malice toward none ; with charity for all ; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right ; let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation ' s wounds; to care for him who shall have bourne the bat- tle, and for his widow and his orphan — to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations. Shortly after he embarked on his second voyage in the Sliip of State he fell by an assassin ' s bullet in Ford ' s Theatre, in Apz ' il, 1865. Whitman was the voice of the nation when he wrote : Captain! My Captain! Our fearful trip is done. The ship has weather ' d every rack, the prize we sought is won. The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting, Whik follow ej ' cs the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring. But heart! heart! heart! the bleeding drops of red. Where on the deck my Captain lies. Fallen cold and dead. My Captain does not answer me, his lips are pale and still. My Father does not feel my arm, he has no pulse nor will. The ship is anchor ' d safe and sound, it ' s voyage closed and done, From fearful trip the victor ship comes in with object won ; Exult, shores, and ring, bells ! But I with mournful tread. Walk the deck : my Captain lies Fallen cold and dead. : _-S]_ IK 9 Ga,rfield said on the death of Lincoln : Ah, sir, there are times in the history of men and nations when tlu ' v stand so near the veil that separates mortals from immortals, time from etern- ity, and men from their (iod, that they can almost hear the b.reathings and feel the pulsations of the heai ' t of the Infinite. Thi ' ouKh such a time has this nation passed. When two hundred and fifty tlionsand brave spirits passed from the field of honor through that thin veil to the presence of God, and when at last its pai-ting folds admitted the martyred president to the company of dead heroes of the Repuhlic, the nation stood so lu ar the veil that the whispers of (iod Were heai ' d l)y the children of men. Awe-stricken by his voice, the Amei-ican people knelt in tear-ful I ' evei ' ence and made a solemn covenant with (fod and each other that this natimi shoukl be savetl from its enemies; that all its glories should be restored. — Walter Fisher. sS :S :s SOL BLOCKER S AUTOMOBILE In a small village located in the hilly country of Southern Indiana, where a train stopped once a week and the squirrels thrived Ijccause of the generous supply of nuts which nature had put at their command. Here among these humble surroundings lived a young man by the name of Sol Blocker, who was thought of by his fellow country folks as an inventor and a rival of Edison. Sol had invented a few things in his time which were of no nse to humanity but, nevertheless, Sol was thought of as a broadminded man. In fact it was said that his mind was as broad as the length of the railroad track whicli crosses the outermost section of the village. Sol had lieen in love several times, but had never found one of the other sex who thought that they should like to be an inventor ' s wife. ' ' It has been said that a man who is a lion with the ladies is always a lamb when it comes to bucking up against the industrial woi ' ld. By no means did Sol want to be a lamb, so he decided to forget the ladies for awhile. This state of circum- stance lasted about two weeks, then Sol fonnd himself madly in love with a pretty country lass by the name of ilary White. Mary did not as yet know of her entanglement and Sol conld not come to a conclusion as to how he should l reak the news to her. Sol being a bashful chap and a g.reat lover but not much on the Romeo stjde decided the best way to gain IMai-y ' s attention woiild be to invent something and proclaim himself a great man. One evening while Sol was looking through the Saturday Evening Post he saw an advertisement of an automobile which was (|uite a crude affair compar- ed to the i resent day machine. Al once In ' decided to liuild an antomibile and ask Mary to go riding with him. The next day Sol proceded with his plans and invention. He took his father ' s best nibber-tired bnggy and fixed a steering device on it. He then bought a gasoline engine and installed it in the buggy. Sol vs ' orked and toiled for many days, but now at last he had his invention finished. To Sol it w ts a v- ' ry beautiful piece of machinery, but to the bystander it looked as if it were a collection of several second hand stores. He then proceeded to sta.rt with a jump and rnn over a flock of chickens, just missed the straw stack, nicked the corner of the barn and headed for the clover field. Sol then gained control of his machine and steered into the road. He had no sooner gotten it there when it picked up speed jumped the ditch, knocked over a rod of rail fence, hit a cow and then came in contact with a large oak tree. Sol crawled out of a jundile of buggy wheels and broken machinery and declared that he had completely forgotten to put a In-ake on the thing and if he ever had the desire for another ant obile he would buy one and be sure that JVlary would be safe if she rode with him. .

We sincerely hope it will be received in the same spirit in which it is given. As a class you should not have your Senior class meetings after school or during ' study periods, but leather in English and Economics classes which will consume the time of recitation. You should not visit in the halls, slide on the banister or use the halls for a skating rink. It should he liorne in mind that writing notes, whispering, chewing gum and an inattentive attitiule seldom Betters the deportment grade. Follow the example of the seniors of twenty-seven and always l_ie in your seat at least one minute before bell time. m ?s •■ i • ■m Now a Bit of Advice to Individuals John Campbell should write his love letters some period other than the eighth. Vara Fifer should bob her hair. Frank Parker should be careful while playing basketball not to use his toe for a crowbar. Marcelle Smith should challenge the champion speed gum chewei- of the world to a match. Paul Obei-lin should learn some new tunes for his whistle. Urcyl Dever should raise side burns. Velda Huntington shoiild not keep sixch late hours. John Haverstoek should grow a little over the summer vacation in order to keep from being classed as a Freshman. Virginia Stone should not visit at Napoleon, every week end. Bob Cather should be careful not to leave town without a good sup]ily of gasoline. Donna Higley should get a bevel boli. Romaine Campbell should do the photography work for next year ' s anmial. Gertrude Rosenberry should learn to control her temper. Bob King should not be so bashful. Bob Hablawetz should raise a mustache. Waneta Caseljere should lo- cate in a city more nearly the size of her home town. Raymond Wise should slide rather than roll in his Ford. Paul Kissinger should give his avoirdupois to Donna Higley. Wanda McClellan should celebrate JMay day and find it tlie hajj iiest day of the year. Harold ] Iilliman should spend more time on his studies rather than writing letters to that certain party. Loren Spake shoiild keep his mind on his studies rather than casting ' wild eyes across the as- semlily. Bessie JMae Snyder should not study so hard on Sunday evenings. Bob Poffenberger should select a pair of short trousers and prepare himself to enter high school with the class of ' 31. Roy Bumgardner should learn to control his feet. Lucile Hammon should use discretion in making her dates. Drayton Loomis should begin limbering his arm up so that he may fill the liox in place of pitcher Tyson ' 27. Ruth Noi ' agon should keep her mind oS the boys. Russel Grogg should establish a regular milk route in B. H. S. And Harold Ash should adopt a plan to keep his Senior friend in B. H. S. another year. We recommend a Post Graduate Course. — Pres. Teutsch ' 27. 2: -; ' smm -83— mmmmmmwmmwmi m Q m mm-wzz wmtwrnmiwiwrnmimmmm •i£i 1 i m w i ort viatio . T), e (Mj r oj ' ' 7 ManAOK.
