Y Kane Kim '27 l D Senior Class History We, the Seniors of '27 who are about to depart from dear old C. H. S. must think back over the joys and sorrows which has too quickly sped during the four years we spent within its protecting walls. On a glorious day in September a noisy bunch of Freshmen, eighty-five in num- ber, entered High School. Indeed we were a Comedy of Errors, and were teased and taunted by the stone hearted upper-classmen, During this year Fred Benson was our president, Fritz, as he was popularly called. We ranked high in athletics, giving five boys to the Football squad and three to the Basketball squad. We were also represented in the Music department and Dramatic department. On Hobo Day the first and third prizes were awarded to two members of our class. Then at Christ- mas time we gathered about the Christmas tree where Santa Claus came bringing presents and good cheer. Thus the Freshmen year ended with visions of the things to learn and good times to come during the ensuing year, Next in order we were Sophomores with Harvey as our president and, if you'll believe it, he was a wise old chief who ruled with an iron hand. Our class had now decreased to sixty-five members. This year, much to our delight, we won the Nakenak Contest and went to see Caney wallop Oswego. Another year came and we were on the next round of the ladder. During this year Ellis Stallard, better known as Eli was our president. At this time the Juniors had to entertain the student body with a chapel program and what a great thing we did, When the curtain was raised, movie actresses from Hollywood and other cities entertained. This chapel was said to be the hit of the season. Then came the most terrible deed this class ever done. Each Senior was led to a ghost's den and enter- tained for the evening. Another event which happened in this successful year was the Circus and box supper which really showed how much pep and enthusiasm there was in the class. On April the sixteenth thx- Juniors, Seniors, faculty and school board met in the High School gymnasium where a bountiful banquet was spread, And was it not this evening that the Junior president so timidly made a ring of flowers and placed upon the finger of the Senior President? The Class felt that they would enjoy a picnic together so food lof all kinds was prepared and on trucks we set out for Havana Lake. The main feature of the evening was a tin cup offered as a prize for the best fish story told. Then the class journeyed back to town in the rain. Thus the Jolly Juniors bid farewell to old Caney High School for the year 11925-265 with a membership of fifty-one. In September we assembled again for the purpose of increasing our knowledge. Eli is our president again and we have among us many new members, The Juniors entertained us with a Spooky Hallowe'en party which the Seniors greatly enjoyed. Our class is again represented on the Football and Basketball teams. The chapel which was an impersonation of the teachers, was a great success. As the .school year is nearing its close, perhaps if this laconic history has not given a very vivid account of the years of time well spent, it has at least given to its readers an inkling as to the working order of the class. Now as we leave this school forever we are confident that we have a better future before us because of the knowledge and experience we have obtained from our Alma Mater and each student will dream of the sweet and peaceful times which hap- pened during the years 1924-'25-'26-'27, Weeping may endure for a night but joy cometh in the morning. R. R. K. . 0 - - I Twenty-six i l-i D ai! -l- e Kane Kan '27 , Senior Class Prophecy August 25 1926 Dear Class President of 27: No doubt you will think it strange to hear from me but I have hau such an unusual and interesting time on my way here to enroll in Columbia University I thought you would like to hear about it. One of our old friends Mary Lambdin accompanied me to Kansas City where she was married, I wen with her to the matrimonial agency and whom should be the agent but Ruth Smith. We all expected Ruth to be an old maid school teacher but she said she was happily married to our dear teacher Carl Swenson. Mary asked where she could find a good preacher and Ruth said I suppose you remember Everett Conklin? He is a Holiness preacher so Mary was united in Holy matrimony Mary and her husband went shopping with mej while we were in the Emery Bird Thayer store 1 was waiting for my clfange I noticed the lady next to me buy- ing a very pretty dress. I asked the clerk the price and when she looked up it was Clew 'Iruskett. She had been working there for three years. I'he floor-walker was Verle Jones. He had gone to Kansas City to enter as an orderly but had changed his mind. After a long visit and congratulations to Mary I went to the Beauty Parlor for a shampoo and marcel. When I entered the barber shop I saw two dark complexioned ladies. One was tall and the other medium size, They both watched me very closely and when I got into the barber chair I looked at the barber and then let out one hilarious yell. Why, it's Mary Jane Nolan! Then We all recognized each other and the other barber was Bethel Moyer. Now maybe you think we didn't have a good time. The barber shopple and beauty parlor were combined and Mary Jane said for me to wait just a minute. She went into the beauty parlor and when she came back she had Marion Prall with her., She was the beauty operator. I hardly knew who she was with her curls done up. And Ellis, she doesn't even know where Toad is. Mary Jane told me there was a traveling troupe in town from Kansas University Lyceum course and asked me to go with them. I was delighted to go be- cause you know some of the kids of '27 went to 'K, U. So, Mary Jane, Bethel and I went to the show. When they handed us a program it was an all Senior '27 cast. Say, I'll bet the owner of the theatre felt like putting us out, whxen we read this. The cast was: The Ardent Lover-Glen Barrett, The Rival-Charlie Burnsg The Pretty Girl-Inez Hendricksong The Mother-Coleen Rardon, and the Father-Jack Pocock. All played their parts splendidly, As soon as the play was over we went up to congratulate them. After a long visit, I went to the hotel for the night. The next morning I left on the 10:47 for Chicago. I had to change trains at a small town named Woodsburg. I had an hour between trains so I went to a res- taurant, While I was waiting for my order a tall slender man entered. There were several men following him calling him Governor-. I could hear very little of their conversation but from what I did hear I knew the tall man was governor and founder of Woodsburg and he was laying plans for some streets. By this time I had my crder and the waitress who brought it was none other than Opal Baker. She is still the sweet, charming girl working to go to Chicago to Art School. I asked her who the governor was and guess who it was! Your old friend Skeeter Woods, I called him to my table and made myself known. He asked all about you and your business, and I told him that Mr. Jessen couldn't get along without you. He asked if you were married and when I told him he was very glad because he said he knew that Bessie Hamilton would make a good wife. Homer said he had a surprise for me and in about five minutes two men walked in and I readily recognized John Kamps and George Glatfelder. John works in the ditch and George is street manager. Since my time was limited I could not visit as long as I wanted to, it was almost time for my train so I went to my station. I had safely boarded the train and enjoyed the works of nature when my eyes glanced upon a stately locking conductor. He stopped by my seat and said, Well, well, how is Caney? I looked up half dazed that a conductor would stop and talk to me. I had to ask him who he was. He laughed and said, Why I am 'Wamp' Sircoulombf' Surprised, amazed, and most any adjective meaning the same couldn't describe my emotion. He told me that the brakeman on the train was George Kirby. Naturally I had to go and visit with Kirby awhile. He was certainly overjoyed to see me as Vaughn was the only Senior '27 he had seen since '29. o I. , . 9 9 1 9 A.

You remember Johnny Marshall's folks used to run a restaurant at home so I felt sure that Johnny and Celia West owned this one. When I went in I was tickled to death to see Celia seated behind the cash register. After a long visit the train bell sounded giving me the signal to break up the gossip society and I told my dear friend Celia goodby. My next stop was Chicago. I went directly to a hotel to get my room. The next morning when I went downstairs for my breakfast I noticed a man in the telephone booth who looked familiar. When he came out and leaned over for his traveling bags, I remembered that Bumo Baker had once sprained his knee playing football for C. H. S. and from the way this man leaned over I knew it was he. We Went to breakfast and Harold told me all about himself, I-Ie was travelng salesman for Swift Premium Company and was on his way home. His wife was formerly Thelma Foltz. They had two children and were getting along nicely. Harold also told me that Lucille Allen and Leon Wetmore were marriedg they lived next door to them. Leon was a soda squirt. He makes ten dollars a week so you can figure for yourself how they manage. When I was walking down the street a few hours later I met a well dressed young lady with a poodle-dog in her arms. I heard a lady nearby say, Miss Barrington to her and it made me wonder if it could be Treva. You know that I am not bashful so I went up to her and she knew me immediately. She owns an art shop there and two of her employees are Christine Baker and Waneta Fields, I went with her to the shop to see them and Waneta told me that she was engaged to Zack Chamberlain. I didn't have to ask her what he was doing for I heard some music below the .window. When I looked out there was Zack with a hand-organ and monkey serenading his love. He told me that they expected to be married in two hours and asked me to attend the Wedding. I thought this would be lots of fun so Christine and I were flower girls. Say weren't we pretty walking down the church aisle! After it was over we went to the Alagonquin Hotel for dinner. Whewl We were thrilled to death. Zack was paged and the page was Louis Fields. We couldn't talk to him long because the Boss was very strict. He said his wife, Mary Henderson was head matron on the second floor. We went up to see her. I then went to my room for the night. The next morning Treva took me to the Mercy Hospital. She said that she had a surprise for me. When we went to the office to ask if we might visit, the stenographer asked if I still talked as much as I did in History. I turned and the person who spoke was Opal Watson. She said that she would call one of the girls who had just graduated as a nurse. Of course this was all planned by Treva and Opal but I did not know it. The nurse was Alta Mae Moody. We talked over old times, all about our class meetings, our banquet and everything. I left the hospital feeling quite well toward the old world. As we were walking down the street! we heard a woman saying something very loud. There were a lot of people standing around so we pushed our way through the crowd to the front. When we got there Margaret Muir was selling pills, and Reo Kirkbride was singing to draw a crowd. There was a red-haired man standing nearby watching very attentively. We asked Reo if she knew who he was and she said, Sure, he is my husband. Don't you remember him. It's Verney Wallar. That was one of the greatest surprises I had. I thought surely he would be mayor of some big town. I then left for Buffalo. I didn't have anything to do in the evening so I went to an opera. When the lady was singing I thought it was Anna Blade, and the accompanist was Lucille Stevens. After the performance I wanted to make sure that I was right, so I went back-stage. I met a man and asked if I might speak with the singer, He called her and it sure enough was Anna. The man whom I had asked was George Banks. I went to talk with him and Lucille came out. I left Buffalo on the afternoon train for here. I got here about 10 o'clock yes- terday morning, I just couldn't keep this news any longer, I knew you would want to hear all about it. I hope that this finds you and Bessie well and happy and you enjoy your work with Mr. Jessen. Write soon and tell me all about the old home town and C. H. S. I have to enroll tomorrow, then my work begins. Are Mr, Popkins and Mr. Matthews still there? I suppose they are either taking names or collecting typewriting dues. I must close and do my work. Your friend, ' Julia Hughes. 6 -i---1 l Twenty-eight i w-- + D Q Mi Kane Kan '27 p'd ip Class Will of '27 We, the Senior class of 1927, of Caney High School, Montgomery County, State of Kansas, in full possession of .sound mind and memory, do make this our last will and testament, hereby revoking all former, wills made by us, at any time here-to-fore: First, Item I, to the Juniors we bequeath our dignity and importance in C. H. S., providing they will lead the other classes onward and upward, as we have done this year. Item II, to the Sophomores we leave our best wishes, and we hope that their desire to be a Junior may be granted. Item III, to the timid Freshmen, we feel advice is all that is needed, so we only say to mind your teachers and watch your step, because a Misconduct List is published twice a week, and you should know what that means. If not, ask some Sophomore or Junior. Item IV, to the faculty we give and bequeath all our surplus knowl- edge and information we gained from them, to them to teach those below us, who really need it. Item V, to Jack Jesson, the janitor and beloved friend, we leave our lockers, to be mended, and all the means of intelligence. Item VI, to Mrs. Jarvis we leave all the books to be mended, and our thanks for letting us read magazines during school hours. The individual talent will is as follows: Lucille Allen leaves her sportsmanship to Helen McQui1len. To Johnny Lewis, Christine Baker leaves her excellent secretarial ship. Opal Baker presents to Merna Muir, her dates and car rides. To Wayne Nellis, Harold Baker leaves his place in the Orchestra. George Banks wills his place on the Annual Staff to anyone who wants to work. Glenn Barrett leaves to Ed Dougherty his athletic ability. Treva Barrington bequeaths her winning smile to Dorothy Townsell- Anna Blade willingly gives her quiet manners to Larry King. To Johnny Hilford, Zack Chamberlain wills his sheik stroll. Charley Burns wills his interest in Sedan to Joe Barnes. Everett Conklin confers one affectionate farewell upon his many girls.

Iiane Kun '27 1- funior Class History On August the 29, 1924, the Junior class of '27 with their hearts in their throats enrolled for their first year in Dear Old Caney High. There were eighty hopeful, bright-eyed youngsters, strangers to the halls of C. H. S. On September the first these Freshmen commenced actual work. They came for an education and they received an EDUCATION. But interwoven in the work were many social good times. During the first year the All School Party was the important occasion while a Hay-rack Ride to the Moyer Hill was also a time of frolic. By this time some had found the going too difficult and had dropped out but there were others to fill their places- ' 4 At the beginning of the second year of the school life pride began to take the place of timidityg pride for the school that was preparing them for life's great examinations, The class was represented in: Debate, Playmakers, Operetta, Athletics, Chapels, Music Department, and other important activities. The High School yell leader was chosen from the Sophomore class. The students realized, after the close of twoyears of school life, what an education meant to them and saw the best way to reach their goal was to complete the four year course. Of the original eighty, thirty-eight enrolled for their third year. The officers for the coming year were elected as follows: President .............................................,.. Frank Freidline Vice President ....... ........ D orothy Roberts ' Secretary .......... ......... L ucile Stevens Treasurer ...........,............................................ John Lewis The sponsers for the class were Mr. Swenson, Mrs. Sawyer, and Miss Daniels. The Junior Class was very successful with this able body of officers and sponsers. During the third year many social activities were enjoyed. The Jun- ior-Senior Party was important, but by far the greatest event in the social life of any Junior is the Junior-Senior Banquet which will be treasured in the memories of his school days. Next year we will be Seniors and will go out into the world of life. The thorough education that We will have received we are sure can be depended upon in our future trials. This officially closes the history of the Junior Class of '27 as is une known now. i Thirty- v n l -i B Kane Kan '27 6 I Th ty ight I 0 n 'QT' ' 11 1 1 -V7 7 Iiane Kan 27 1 k fi 9 5 ALE X I Thirty-nine s-'-v-var - -F---uq -1 -'-N '- .yv-,R-yi'-V---,Q-ie --,ei---,,...w -, -Y.. ....,,.,,, ,Tw 1 6 1 Kane Kan '27 T4 -----ee B President .......... ........

Freshman underwent an, extensive rejuvenation and was rechristened, Sophomore. She set sail September 6, on her annual nine month's voyage under command of the following: Richard Hale, Captain, Novella Johnson, First Mateg Virginia, Pur- serg Mrs. Thompson, Pilot, Mrs. Tayman and Miss Myers, Engineers. Installation of modern equipment caused the crew to be cut from 95 to 71. The members of the Crew engaged in many activities during the voyage. I They won the Nakenak contest, competing against the entire Caney High Fleet. Two of its members, Evelyn Truskett and Larry King, won places on the Nakenak Staff. All members of the crew attended the social events, the most im- portant of which were the all-school party, and the ship's own Ha1lowe'en masquerade party. In athletics, the Sophomore was easily the outstanding ship of the fleet. F. Latinis was Captain of the football team and six other members made-letters. Ten members of the crew were on the basket ball squad of the fleet. In all other branches of sport they were equally as promi- nent. The crew's debate team were winners of the inter-ship debate and R. Hale and E. Truskett won places on the all-fleet team. In the music department, nine members were in the fleet's band and ten in the orchestra. Theyman Maze, Joe Barnes, Charles Brown, Novella Johnson, and many others were in the operetta, Once in a Blue Moon. Evelyn Truskett was yell leader of the fleet- The Sophomore was represented at the G. R. Conference by Frances Liberman, Merna Muir, and Lillian Lewis. The voyage was marked by unusually fair weather with the excep- tion of severe typhoons in January and May, during the examination per- iods. Although the Sophomore was badly buffeted, she weathered the storms successfully with few casualties. On May 20, the voyage of the Sophomore was ended and she was put in dry dock for her annual overhauling.

This successful army was known as the Fresh- men. Entering upon the highway they were endangered by outlaws called upper classmen, but under the skillful lead- ership of their sponsors, Miss White, Miss Berger and Mr. Mathews, they defeated their enemies. At the beginning of the year they elected the follow- ing officers: President ............ ....... D oris Pendleton . Vice President ...... Z ...... ........ C oleen Goodbar ' . Secretary-Treasurer ................................ Fletcher Hilton They were delightfully entertained at the all-school party which enlightened our friendship toward the upper classmen- The Freshmen class presented two chapels, one a Thanksgiving program and the other a play entitled Scenes in the Union Depot. The following Freshmen entered debate: Ellen Harris ' Maxine Howard Wanda McCann Paul Kelly Ethel Powers Frank Moorehead The Freshmen fortunate enough to be selected for mixed chorus and glee were: Yvonne Lambiotte Orlena Bennett Cora Jean Hepner Dorris Pendleton Earl Swank During our continuous battle, they arranged a Christ- mas party which was enjoyed by every one. The forces united with courage and now the army has departed into summer quarters in various homes in Camp Caney. 0. B. G.

Bill McAllister is a carefr- e individual, and depends upon his 'rich Uncle Matt McAllister to support him. Rollo becomes engaged to Hazel and all is well until Rollo found out that Bill was still calling on Hazel gg L9 Hazel Robinson is infatuated with Rollo Jenkins and Bill McAllister, One night when they attended a church social Bill came and sat at their table. Thereafter, Hazel gave all her attention to Bill and did not notice Rollo. Rollo was very angry and deeply humiliated Hazel by making her go home alone. Hazel breaks off her engagement with Rollo and an- nounces her intention of marrying Bill. I Matt McAllister disinherits Bill because he will not work and refuses to pay any more of his expenses. Bill had just six dollars but he and Hazel were married and made their home over a drug store. They had barely enough to get along and Ma and Pa Robinson tried to persuade Hazel to leave Bill and come home to live, but she flatly refuses. Jennie Baldwin, a friend and neighbor of the Robinson's tries to get Hazel to forsake Bill and go home. . After a year of living in poverty, Bill, by using his wits, gets a posi- tion as manager of Matt McAllister's coal yards and he goes to live in Matt's house. THE CAST: 4--... .if -.

The judges returned a unanimous decision. if However, like flying starts in other activities, the re- mainirig' encounters were not so favorable, and in the three Caney went down to defeat. Excellent work was done by the two teams, and in spite of the rather inglorious show- ing, Caney High may well be proud of her debaters, and assuredly should show proper appreciation to Mrs. Tayman for her conscientious training of the teams.

He managed to drag one letter man and two or three others, who had had experience, out of the medley and around these he built his team. The squad, after a few nights, diminished rapidly, until there was barely enough for one team. This team, though light, was a fighting one. They played the game from start to finish with never a let down even though beaten at every turn. Their opponents admit- ted that they were about the scrappiest team in the valley. The team started the season under the name of Bull- pups and continued to play under this name until some member of the student body turned in the brilliant sugges- tion that the team bear the name of Kane Kyotesf' As the team did not like to bear such a cowardly name they soon reverted to the old one. Captain Latinis, Quarterback, led the team this year and was a good general, although his team lost every game. The season was successful since it is not the team that has the largest score that wins but the team which has really played the game.

Although his teams made a poor showing it was not his fault, for he had new and light material to work with and to pit against the heavier teams of the valley. He did his job creditably however and always put the old fight into the team at moments when their deter- mination was waning. Hill was liked by all the boys who worked under him as he taught them the meaning of self sacrifice, team work and clean sportsmanship. He taught no dirty play and allowed none if he could prevent it. He can say that his teams played a clean game- FIRMIN LATINIS Quarterback Age 15 Weight 121 Pluto , Caney's diminutive Quarterback-Captain, led his team through a good season. He was Caney's only letter man and was the mainstay of the team. Although small he was a tough little man, a player who used his head, a sure tackler and a good passer. He is a big man done up in a small package. VAUGHN SIRCOULOMB Fullback Age 18 Weight 147 Wamp played his first year at fullback which is a hard position to fill and went through the season in fine style. His weight and size made him a good man at backing up the line. His line plunging was hard to beat and he could be depended on for a sub- stantial gain. He will be missed from next year's squad. ----l- Q Sixty-four 5 - -2---W - QT Kane Kan.'27 I-Tlai-6 LEO MARTIN Right Half ' Age 15 Weight 126 Chief, a new man, played right half and was good on either the offensive or defensive. He was al- ways on the job and ready to do his part in running interference or carrying the ball. He was an aggres- sive player and will be needed on next year's squad to help carry on the good Work- HAROLD BAKER Left Half Age 19 Weight 138 Bumo played a fast and furious game at' left half. He was always fighting from toss-up to final whistle and although greatly handicapped the latter part of the season with a dislocated knee he was al- ways ready to go. This is Baker's last year and he will be missed badly from next year's squad. CHAS. BROWN Left End Age 15 Weight 127 Si played his first year for Caney High. He was a good man, light but fast, and played the game from start to finish.

He could be depended on to make the necessary hole. When in a tight place Soden was always there to punt the ball out of danger. EVERETT CONKLIN Right End Age 19 Weight 125 Conklin, who had had experience on the team last year, made his end hard to pass as he spilled his in- terference without fail.

Again the material which assembled, this time in the Gym caused Hill to heave a sigh. Hill could find no letter man upon Whom to base his team, so he built it as best he could and did a good job. This team also played a hard season, al- though it seemed that they were doomed. They made the different teams of the valley fight hard and really earn every point they made. The basketball team was without a captain, so before each game an acting Captain was appointed or elected. Either Charles Brown or Jess Havener were usually called upon to perform this duty which they did very creditably. At the close of the basketball season a captain was elected and Charles Brown was the fortunate man. Q Wie YE? B g-'1i'l- II Kane Km '27 Basketball Record for 1926-27 I Caney ....... ' ........

The second semester was devoted wholly to work- ing up the contest numbers and the classes bent to the task with a will. Miss Haggard put in many long hours in drilling the quartets and glee' clubs, and she deserves special mention for her unceasing labors. The Music Department of Caney High is an as- set to the community and should be boosted by every loyal citizen. The quartets and glee clubs have as- sisted in the music in many social and religious gath- erings, and appreciate very much being called upon for their services.

Spanish Dancers-Virginia and May Lambiotte ,Dorothy Roberts Daniels, Donela Troxell Chorus of guests-Burglars, Reporters and Travelers After an absence of four years at college, Bob Harrington is expected to return to the home of his foster aunt, Mrs. Mary Montgomery, whose daughter Sylvia was his boyhood sweetheart. Having fallen in love with another girl at college, he sends his chum, George Taylor, who closely resembles him to substitute for him at the week end party. George had always been anxious to meet Sylvia whose picture greatly attracts him. He arrives amid preparations for a Spanish Fiesta and finds Sylvia more charming than her picture. Unexpected guests, Sir Percival Chetwood and M. Rene Le Mon ar- rive and are welcomed as distinguished noblemen by Mrs. Montgomery and invited to remain for the festivities. That night while the guests are dancing a robbery takes place and suspicion is turned on George, who is forced to disclose his identity. Things look dark for him until the guilty parties are brought to justice. A telegram from the real Bob announc- ing his marriage leaves Geo. free to finish the story in the approved fashion.

PM When the band was organized in H1921 a few new pieces were added which improved the band wonderfully. New music, new instruments, and the untiring efforts of the director, J. R.

This class made rapid progress and carried its work so well that, at the opening of the year of 1926-27, the class was reorganized as an advanced art class again under the direc- tion of Miss Myers. The class carried the accomplishments of the pre- ceding year still farther and are now doing very excellent work. When, thru the co-operation of Miss Myers, they were called upon by the annual staff to furnish a few plates for department heads, they responded willingly and after a great deal of hard work, they turned in Several plates which are equal to or better than any ever before used in the f'Kane-Kan.

Every since the world has known man his brains have controlled and run it, while the little dainty, shy woman sat back and enjoyed the things her mate' devised. In the beginning woman was made from one of man's ribs, created for the sole purpose to be man's companion. And what a companion she has been. Her failure is so pronounced that it has become a saying, a very common one, that Women and wine are the root of all evils. Wine, as everybody knows, bemuddles man's brain and thus renders him incap- able of doing anything intelligently, naturally he does things which in his natural state of mind he would never think of doing. We can forgive wine for this, but when a woman uses her charms to the same effect, mainly of getting man to do that which she wants him to do, it is not so easily forgiven. When a woman's charms were given to her they were supposed to make her a charming companion for man, but you can see, as I do, that while many of them follow the will of their creator there are many who do not. The peculiar side of the question always comes to the front. Ask a man if he would have woman changed and he will answer, In only one way. I would like to see all women beautiful, and you can argue till your hair turns gray and that is all you can get out of him. Now you will admit that woman is supposed to be a creature of beauty with the traits that would make her a boon companion for man. And the first thing you know all this logic will be shattered by some fool who will stand up and shout, Beauty is only skin deep. If this is true then why wasn't woman made either all beautiful or, well, vice-versa. I am sure that this problem could stand a lot of study, and if some of you fellows get really conscientious about this affair it would surely merit your most earnest prayers, and who knows, maybe the One who knows the whys and wherefores of all earthly affairs would put you straight. Next, I suppose you will want to know in what manner the answer will be forwarded to you. Will you find it in some brilliant lecture or will you find it blasted on a rock. That, my friend, is far beyond my poor vision. Who can tell whether such a divine creature as our Lord would have such an important question answered through the medium of human voice or not- Most probably it would be in the form of a dream. Imagine, if you can, coming to you in your sleep a troupe of beautiful girls. One by one they would come to you and in each of them you would find either selfishness, dullness, lack of humor or some other default. Then just for comparison suppose a troupe of girls, not very much to look at, but girls who were a pleasure to talk to, who could always see the bright side of things and who could entertain wonderfully as long as you were not look- ing at them, would appear to you. These too would be lacking. Now, if a, well, you might call it a cross between the two: good looking, but not beautiful and having most of the qualities of the latter. Here would be the answer to your prayers, the perfect woman.

A ' The try-out for the Senior Play was held March 28 and nine persons were chosen to represent the senior class of '27 as the cast in Adam's Apple which was given April 29. I e The play is as follows: Adam Van Alstyne, stock broker and man about town invested all his earnings in shares of Dallas Preferred because Jordan Lennox, a Wall Street millionaire, is expected to gain control and boost the -stocks. A number of proxies were stolenand Lenonx disappeared. Adam is facing ruin when Riggs, an inoffensive lunatic, and an unknown person, presum- ably burglars, effect their entrance into Adam's apartment. Riggs and his companion are forced to hide because of the arrival of Adam and his wife Eve. While they are hidden they learn that Adam ,has invented a millionaire Uncle John as a means of getting out at night with his friend Billy Aldrich, who is engaged to Cecily Tennant, Eve's sister. ' 1 Further complications result when the unknown burglar is discovered by Eve and is forced to represent himself as Adam's Uncle John. Casper, a detective, forces an entry into the apartment in search of Lennox, the missing millionaire, who is wanted by Robinson, another Wall Street mil- lionaire and a rival of Lennox. Final developments reveal the fact that the unknown burglar is in reality Jordan Lennox, the missing millionaire. Riggs, the second burg- lar proves to be the long lost looney husband of Maggie, the Van Alstyne cook. i 1 e With rare presence of mind Eve saves Lennox from being kidnapped, and, after finding the missing proxies which were hidden by a former tenant, an operative of Robinson, Lennox presents Adam and Billy with fifty thousand dollars each, and offers Adam a position in one of his large corporations. With the financial prospects of Adam and Billy thus assured by the reward, and of Lennox by the recovery of the proxies, everyone is happy. Q ill- 1 Eighty- e I A4-l-L 0 ai.ii.Ah.ws..s,. .11 4..

Compliments of THE CANEY CI-IRGNICLE CANEY, KANSAS Men Men are what women marry. They have two hands, two feet 8a some- times two wives, but never more than one brilliant idea at a time. Like cagarettes, men are all the same material, however, some are disguised better than others. Men may be divided into 3 classes: husbands, bachelors 8a widowers. A bachelor is a mass of obstinacy surrounded by suspicion. Husbands are of 3 kind: prizes, surprises and consolation prizes. To make a husband out of a man, requires science, sculpture, com- mon sense, faith, hope, Sz charity- It is a marvelous thing that a soft, fluffy-haired, perfume4scented woman should enjoy a big awkward, tobacco and bay-rum scented thing like a man. If you flatter a man, you frighten him to death KL if you don't you bore him. If you believe him. in everything he soon tires of you 8a if you are cynical he gets disgusted. If you wear gay colors, rouge, Sz gay faddy hats, it embarasses him to take you out 8: if you dress plainly he stares all evening at a woman in gay colors, rouge, and faddy hats. If you are silly he longs for someone with brains XL if you are in- tellectual, you are a bore. O, if you are popular he is jealous, and if you aren't he hesitates to associate with you. Just how can you please these men! ATTENTION l: Are they worth the worry they seem to require? Miss Hansen- What would we do if the temperature of the body reaches 107 de- grees? Dorothy Roberts- Call the undertaker. Raymond DeHon- Great Scott! Who wrote 'Ivanhoe'? Earl Swank- Pd like to know who in the dickens wrote 'Christmas Carol?

Glenn- No, some other guy beat me out. Everett Conklin-- I've a great mind to rock this boat and frighten you. Thelma Foltzr- A young man once tried it before and the boat upset.
