Text from Pages 1 - 100 of the 1921 volume:

Published by THE CLASS OF NINETEEN HUNDRED TWENTY-ONE of the CARUTHERSVILLE HIGH SCHOOL Caruthersville, Missouri DEDICATION To you, Terrell, our friend and classmate, whose presence and companionship we so much miss; whose place in athletics and other school activities has never been filled; who is always with us in thought if not in fact; and without whom our number is incomplete, we, the class of 21, affectionately dedicate this volume. FOREWORD If, when the years have sped by, and when, in that great unknown future, you are striving to make the dreams of youth come true; if then the fingering of these pages carries you back to that wonderful realm of school life, if it gives an added beauty to the friendships formed there and you feel again the spirit of the old school—then our efforts will not have been in vain. i THE EDITORS. Mr. Gooodin will long be remembered by the Senior Class as one who gave his thought and energy, without stint, to the upbuilding of Caruthersville High. May he receive the necessary support to the end that his conceptions of school standards may be realized, and that the graduates of C. H. S. may be better fitted to take their place in the world’s work. BOARD OF EDUCATION Mr. J. W. GREEN, President. MR. C. F. BLOKER, Secretary. MR. GEO. LAMB. MR. I. E. WILLIAMS. DR. J. B. LUTEN MR.

The light of learning, which guides the footsteps of men and whose radiating beams command ihe destiny of nations, has from the beginning, been fed by the fuels of Sacrifice and Love. We pay well for the lighter joys of a moment; but the more worthy joys of wisdom, truth, and understanding, we accept with reluctance, and then with little thought of appreciation to the giver. Only when the crisis of a future day demands of us knowledge do we harken back to the lessons of old. It is then that we feel the presence of a personality, of a teacher whose precepts we have followed unconsciously through the years. Of this reflection is born regret that we held his words so lightly when they were first spoken. We feel in debt; but there is no payment. We can only strive that each day our lives may reflect his teachings. School-teacher of America, your name may never be written on tablets of bronze but there is reserved for you a greater honor; for to you is reared an eternal monument when you mould the minds of men.

SENIOR’S ADVICE ON LEAVING HIGH SCHOOL IF you want to be in the kind of a school Like the kind of a school you like, You needn't pack your clothes in a grip And start on a long, long hike. You’ll only find what you left behind For there’s no school that’s really fine Unless each one pulls with a right good will. And every one gets into line. Live schools are not made by fellows afraid Lest a little work they do. If every one lifts and nobody leans You can put the old school through. School pep and school spirit you must have, The “punch” that makes things go. In Algebra, Science and English, too, Some progress each day must show. And so, while we go to our places beyond, We'll leave this little word true— It’s a knock at yourself when you knock your school; It isn’t your school, it’s you. —J. E. H ------O------ JTJNIOR-SENIOR PARTY The Seniors had almost given up the Junior Bunch as hopeless when—lo and behold, they received an “invite:” In “out-of-date” costumes Come meet us in our Gym, etc. That was enough. Not even a wintry night with the streets little rivers of snowy slush could deter the Seniors from enjoying such an unlooked for opportunity. If laughing makes one grow fat, we should have put on a lot of avoirdupois that evening. For instance take Nell Stancil. Now, of course, Nell has studied Geometry else in her portrayal of an old maid she could not have eliminated all the curves and and left only the angles. Then there was Hattie. What she had on I don’t know. But I do know that the shoulders were padded and that the skirt didn’t end but kept going right on------. Marguerite Bloker, of course, was young and her dress was short, and her ? ? ? came below her dress and were trimmed in lace. And Ella Wright’s kilts—um! uh! How she had accomplished it, the “Spectator” doesn’t know. But anyway, right then and there, the boys invented a “baby stare” that beats that one of the girls all hollow. Connie Curtner endeavored to portray for us the country life of “Root-Wad.” In this she succeeded very well because of her native talent and because of her long association with the things rustic. Carmie Self and Floyd Cain, considering their natural handicaps, made very good Irish women. Having given in full a description of the most prominent persons attending this social function, we shall pass to the other events of the evening. There was a prize given for the partners who could guess the identity of George and Martha Washington. Cluster and Gwendolyn proved the winners when they guessed Miss Sprott and Mrs. Tom Simpson. Lenora won the “Holiday Guessing” contest and was awarded a jar of pink hair shampoo. Pity the school when Lenora washes her head. The writer has smelled the shampoo. Dow Edgerton was awarded a rattle for winning the newspaper race. Being a Senior, and having learned the lesson of conservation, he will save it against the wants of a future day. Despite the snow outside and cold radiators on the inside, brick ice cream was served. A cold reception, we call it. The “SPECTATOR.” A JUNIOR’S IDEA OF A TYPICAL FRESHMAN He is a jolly little fellow, as happy as a child on some new and novel experience. Why should he care if his lessons are not well prepared? Is it not honor enough to be a Freshman in High School? Always laughing at nothing, and doing something not pertaining to school work—he is what might be called a comical little runt. He marvels and wonders, concerning the mental and physical feats of the boys in higher classes. Yet can he not do just as well, or better? He is a Freshman. His most prominent peculiarity is that he is sure he knows everything, and must disagree with everybody. And yet he is willing to admit his inability to do a feat quite beyond his reach. Such a peculiarity as this can only exist in a Freshman. He is never afraid to express himself, in whatever fashion it may be done. But why should he be afraid? He is a Freshman. Should he be worried with such insignificant matters? Being almost to the height of his ambition, he seems really satisfied. What greater feat is there for him to accomplish. He is now independent, even of the teachers. But, why is he so quiet and studious of late? He is smiled at by the older boys. He had become too funny and independent, so the teachers say, and even he seemed to realize it after another novel experience in the office, which was not anticipated.

At Missouri “U” he finished his learning of this great art, He learned it so quick and so well he knew it all by heart. His sisters and brothers drove to the station in the rain, To welcome their hero brother back to his old home again. He buckled down to life’s sorrows with a smile and a grin, And remarked to his friends that the battle would now begin His friends all said that he was in a poor helpless stale. When he took charge of the old torn-down McAllister Estate. He worked day after day in the fields of waving yellow corn, With the never ceasing tillage the land was being reborn. The fall came on with its beautiful glow, radiant and gold, And the crops on the Old Estate became wonderful to behold. So Reeves came to town on one of those golden autumn days, His wagon was loaded with fragrant and sweet smelling hay. His friends greeted him with a smile and a friendly nand, And told him a man of his type was a credit to his land. He replied, a man can accomplish wonders if he’ll only try, I owe all to the Agricultural Department of C’ville High. SOPHOMORE CLASS PROPHECY “Hello, here, can’t we get in? Did I come all the way to heaven for nothing?” said Cleo McCoy. Sometimes they came in crowds and sometimes alone, all gathered—all but one. The same old Sophomore Class. Cenevieve called St. Peter and the great gate opened with mighty creaks and crashes. “Line up, please,” said old St. Peter’s voice. Cleo was first. “Cleo, tell me your life’s history.’’ “This is one history Miss Sprott don’t know,” said Cleo. “After I left school I went into the grocery business and I made good.” “Good, pass on and wait inside.

Is that all of the old Sophomore class?” “No, Fred Watkins is missing.” “I don’t have a record of him.” “If you haven’t they have at the penitentiary,” said Cleo. “Here he comes. Now tell me the history of your life.” “St. Peter, there ain’t nothing to tell you. I lived in the woods.” They all passed in but Fred. He turned on his heel and walked away. The great gate creaked and groaned, never to open again. Sweet music was heard inside —all was happiness. The old class pep was there. The' whole class was there—all but one. AMEN! FRED WATKINS. TRZSHMe _ FRESHMAN CLASS POEM There are sixty-eight of us freshies gay, Who came out here one hot September day. We will not boast about our fond greeting For all our boys got a hearty beating; But just wait and you’ll with us agree, That some day something great we verdant freshies’ll be. We are long, short, thick and thin, Our heads are even more substantial than tin, ’Cause some of us boast of ivory “domes” Where once in awhile an idea roams. When Sophs and Juniors pass us with a “tee hee,” We don’t care, we presidents to be. Laughing at us, and calling us “green,” And teasing us ’cause we say “I seen,” Doesn’t bridle our hopes at all, For Ford was made fun of in measures not small. Other classes would be downfallen and sore, But not we, we’re the Seniors of ’24. We’ll now close our little poem, you see we’re not conceited, Even tho’ our temperaments do get heated, But just remember, stand out of our light, For we are the bunch that want to fight. Logic is logic, (we’re more “Zoo” logical), that’s all I can say, So this is the end of the Freshman gay. —Marie Parks. FRESH (MAN) TOAST. (WE’D RATHER HAVE CHILE). Here’s to the Freshies, who in a time not long, Will be able to sing this little song: Just a Sophomores’ wail at twilight, ’Cause their spirits are sinking low; Poor Sophomores’ eyes are filled with tears, Fresh, victory surprised them, you know. Motto: “Push, pull, or get out of the way.” Colors: Blue and Gold. Flower: Sunflower. i CROWDED CONDITIONS MAY PROVE FATAL By FRED WATKINS. A visitor, stepping into the front door of the Caruthersville High School, was astonished to hear an uproar above him in the study hall. “Let’s take the elevator, Sam,” he heard some one say. “Naw, I’m gonna jump it,” was the reply. “I would slide down the banisters but I’ve wore out two pair of pants; the steps are so crowded going to classes you may fall over the banisters and break your neck.” The startled observer started up the steps but behold he hadn’t gone over the first flight until he heard a bell and then the study hall door opened and that was all he remembered. The last thing he saw was about two hundred pupils, boys and girls, come walking, rolling, tumbling, and the sick man seems to think some were flying over him. As he lay in the hospital he glanced over to his right and there sat a young boy about sixteen, reading a “Snappy Story Magazine” and smoking a cigarette. One leg was tied on a rope which hung down from the ceiling. That said leg was broken and all bandaged. “What’s the matter, son?” said the Late Observer. “Tried to get to class on time,” he answered in an indifferent way. “Get to class? my Boy, did you hurt your mental capacity in the wreck?” “Say, old hard face, 1 said I tried to get to class on time at the Caruthersville High School and I got hurt with fifteen others.” “Go on, tell me, Son,” said the eager Late Observer. “Well, me and the gang couldn’t get down the stairs the first week to classes, they’d start marching down when the first bell rang at nine o’clock and as I set in the last row I never got down ’till after dinner.” “Rave on, my brave boy,” said the Eager Excited Late Observer. “One day,” he continued, “there was a smash up down on the first floor and as I was on the third floor I liked to have starved to death before I got down.” “Ah! I have it at last,” said the Bald-headed, Eager, Excited, Late Observer “The gang decided not to be late any more and, after talking with two or three of the boys that had been knocked out of the window and looking over their bruised spots, we decided to jump out of the window with an umbrella and get to class sooner.” “Fine, my boy, continue, continue fast,” said the Stiff-necked, Bald headed. Eager, Excited Late Observer. “Well, that’s about all. We jumped out for about two or three months and then one day a boy hung his chin on the gutter on the second floor. All it did was just to shave a misplaced eyebrow he had been growing with pains for the six months before that.” “Rave on, Youngster,” said the Anxious. Stiff-necked, Bald-headed, Eager, Excited Late Observer, “How did you come to be roosting here.” “Well, me,” said the boy as he turned over the catalogue index, hunting cork legs, “My case is simple.” “I jumped out with my umbrella and a guy was in a hurry behind me so he jumped on my umbrella and when we woke up he was picking the coal out of his teeth, (for we had hit the coal pile) and I was trying to straighten my leg without success.” With that he thumped the remainder of his “Chesterfield” at the cat and turned over with a yawn, adjusting his leg in the swing as comfortably as possible, then went to sleep. The Anxious, Stiff-necked, Bald-headed, Eager, Excited Late Observer called the nurse, and asked for paper, writing this he handed it to the man:— C. H. S. School Board. Dear Sirs: Build a new school building covering 5 acres and a place for the boys to graze, I will pay Vz all cost, the county can pay the rest. JAMES IMA TIGHTWAD. Citizen of Caruthersville. “By the way,” James had a million or two that had never been turned over.

Within the last year it has been introduced into over thirty high schools. One of these was Caruthersville. Caruthersville, being located in one of the richest agricultural counties in the United States, was considered an ideal place for vocational work. Many ardent supporters expected to have enough pupils enrolled the first ear to make two full classes. The work was new and many did not know what it consisted of and how much time was required on the part of the student in school as well as outside. More pupils were expected than could be found after arrangements were made for the boys to enter. When school opened in September a class of sixteen enrolled to take the work. Everything went along nicely for a few weeks after which the number began to decrease due to some misunderstanding. Those that remained did good work. As long as the weather permitted from one to tw’o field trips, to corn fields, cotton fields, alfalfa, and cowpea fields, etc. were made where the boys selected seed corn, good cotton stalks, etc. This was interesting and instructive. When the County Fair was held our boys exhibited some corn selected by the class, and won sweepstakes for the county, as well as several “firsts” and “seconds.” Every sample entered was placed. The good work continued and from all indications it was of as high a standard as is found in some of the larger schools, when we consider the equipment used and the amount of text books, reference books, and bulletins covered. The first semester was devoted to field crops, with some practical shop work. There were instructions in the handling of tools, grinding chisels and planes, filing saws, the general care of new tools, and the repair and sharpening of old ones. During the second semester an intensive study of soils was made and some good work was done. This work consisted in showing how soils should be treated and cared for that they might maintain their highest fertility and could be handed down from one generation to another without any appreciable decline in power to produce large yields. The shop work, which consisted of making articles for the home was continued. The rudiments of mechanical drawing were taught, enabling the boys to plan and draw. Lessons in splicing rope proved interesting and valuable to the boys for everyday use. It was impossible to make blacksmiths in a few days, but the boys acquired some knowledge of heating, drawing, welding, brazing, boring, threading, etc. in forge work. Every boy that sticks to the work to the end of the year will put out a project which should bring him at least $100 and perhaps $300 or $400. It is the farm boy who is interested in the work and who should take it. If we want to farm, in stead of labor, we must receive training for this, and it must come from the school. Let every student in Pemiscot county consider whether he will farm as a farmer, or as a laborer, and let him choose between staying at home during spare time or taking Vocational Agriculture at Caruthersville High School. When the boys joined the Agi class Their school-mates laughed at them; “You don’t think you can raise good stock Just like the great big men.” “Well I don’t know,” said Otho, “But at least we can try, And trying’s better, seems to me, Than sitting idly by. “So we have bought a pig and calf That’s to be all our own, And just you see what boys can do When this year’s come and gone. “We may not get so awful rich, But we can do our best. And farmers once were boys like us, And you and all the rest. “And, anyway, we’ll learn a lot, And we can try again If we should fail a time or two— ’Twill make us stronger men.” — (Stolen.) IN THIRD YEAR HISTORY Miss Sprott is history teaching On present and past events, Lucille’s precious eyes are blinking With guarded indifference. Little hands are tired of tracing Washington’s famous retreat, ’Cause last night with Gifford dancing, She wearied those little feet. Little mind is tired of thinking How at Trenton George will win, For those lids are sinking, sinking And to stay awake is sin. Lucille knows the laws of nature. Feels that they are good and wise. Her medulla oblongata Bids my darling close her eyes. Lucille must have relaxation. Let the campaign fail or win. So, with an air of damnation. She sees the blackboard grow dim Let not Miss Sprott distrub her sleep Behind Carmie’s broad shoulder; ’Cause George can upon Trenton creep And lick the Red Coats without her. (With apologies to Roche.) Miss Sprott: “In Homer’s time, they stopped using the six foot line. What is that? Ruth Crowe: “Lines, six feet long.’’ THE SCHOOL GIRL’S MIND “The mind of a schoolgirl does not proceed like the mind of an adult; it imitates the motions of a grasshopper. It sings in the summer, it dances in the winter, it transforms values, it doubts axioms, it is dogmatic upon impossibilities, or what seem such, to the adult mind, it compresses dreams into a creed, it has intuitions like the flash of an electric candle, or it plays the bat, shuts its eyes tight in broad daylight, folds its wings, hooks on to any convenient excuse, and goes fast asleep.” FOOTBALL NOTES The Caruthersville H. S. Football team, led by Capt. Markey, opened the 19 20 season on home grounds by defeating Hayti 81-0. Next came the great defeat by Charleston, on their grounds, where the team lost by the score 65-0. After a week s hard work our team met Malden, and made the coveted touchdown on a long pass—Reeves to Hazel. Score 6-0. By mutual agreement a non-league game was played against Kennett where our boys lost 33-0. However “Doc” Crider will be remembered by many of the Kennett players. Charleston won their return game on passes. 2 6-0. Blytheville met our boys on local grounds. A victory of 115-0 last year, an easy game was expected. They were disappointed by defeat. In what was the best game of the season our boys won 14-7, repeating what the “Tigers” did five years ago. On Turkey Day Dexter, at Dexter, met defeat by the score 18-0. Thus ended the best football season Caruthersville has had since 1915. Putting up a record of 5 won, 3 lost, has been excelled but once in five years, when the. old “Tigers” won 6 and lost 2. TOM MARKEY—C. 1. Captain Markey was an all-around player but was at home at center. His passing was good, and he got his share of tackles. He went into every play with all the punch he packs, and never failed to use it. Coach Baechle CLINTON CUNNINGHAM—F. B. 2. “Clint” has good speed and was a good ground gainer. In his position at full back and in backing up the line he never failed to deliver. It is his last year of high school football. RAYMOND CRIDER—L. H. 3. “Doc” is a rare combination of speed, weight and hard hitting; and is the most dependable ground gainer for the Tiger eleven. He has finished his second year of football and is adding to his record established last year. ODELL REEVES—R. H. 4. “Greaser” held down the right portion of the backfield and did it in good style. He carries the ball well, and runs good interference for his team mates. His toe should help his team mates this coming year. SAM HANLEY—ft. B. 5. “Yea-bo” is a hard-worker, a cool-headed player and in his capacity of driving the team did much in its development. He has been chosen to lead the team next year and will live up to all expectations. FLOYD CAIN—R. E. 6. “Little Cain” is fast and played well at right end, and at quarter when needed. He slips thru holes well and is a dangerous man in an open field. In breaking up plays he filled his position in good style. LESLIE MORGAN—R. T. 7. Leslie has worlds of endurance and grit. A tower of strength on the right. He always opened a hole, keeping his tackle off his feet and out of the play. He spares no bumps either to himself or the enemy. 6 7 PAUL ROBERTS—R. G. 8. Paul played a good game in every position in the line considering his weight and experience. He handled the ball well when playing center and usually handled his man when he played guard. JOE MILLER COMBS—L. G. 9. Joe was a solid guard on the left side of the line. Though injured at times during the year, he could be depended upon to deliver the goods when in playing condition. Joe’s loss will be felt by the team. R. C. POWELL—L. T. 10. “Goat” was one of the big tackles this year and showed real stuff. When a play came his way he opened a hole for his men. On the defensive he broke up his share of plays. ERNEST HAZEL—L. E. 11. Ernest plays the game because he loves it. He is fast and covers lots of territory, showing up well on both offensive and defensive. Ernest played a great game and should do still better during the next three years. 10 11 UNITED STATES ARMY ESSAY CONTEST On February 28, 1920, it was announced in assembly that the Department of War was offering a prize to the writer of the best and most practical essay on “Benefits to Be Derived From An Enlistment in the United States Army.” Three essays which deserve credit were written in this school. Since, however, only one could be submitted to the higher judges the best was selected and sent to St. Louis. There again the decision was again rendered in favor of the essay written by Dow Edgerton, at that time President of the Junior class. On April 14 a banquet was given the Juniors in honor of its deserving winner. After the banquet the reward, a silver cup, was presented to the winner by Colonel Parker, a representative of the War Department from St. Louis. We are, indeed, proud of our winner, who has this year accomplished much for the good of Caruthersville High, and while we regret losing him this year, we truly hope that he will be even a greater winner in life. INDIVIDUAL SKETCH OF BOYS’ BASKETBALL PLAYERS Masdon—Captain; left forward. Clus, father of the team, is always on duty. “Daddy” deserves much credit. We hate to lose him, but he has served his time. Fourth year in school. Crider—Right Forward. Not only tries to prove that skill wins but gives a fight. First year. Reeves—Our center proves to be king of the iron-hoop game and is a credit to the team. Third year. Hanley—Our left guard is a powerful man to be so small. He fights as no other. Second year, and others to come. Cunningham—Right Guard. Bob is a rectangle—battling fool. First and last year. Markey—Right Guard; and Roberts—sub-center; are men who can be called on at any time. They have contributed much to our team. Third and second year. HILIFE LOVE THEOREM Given: Hattie and Cluster. To Prove: That Hattie loves Cluster. Proof: Cluster loves Hattie. (By theorem 8).

Why don’t you stand up straight like I do?’ John: “See that field of wheat over there?’’ Sam: “Yes.” John: “Notice that the full heads bend over, while the empty ones stand straight.” Gifford (in History): “Miss Sprott, what makes the time go so fast in Italy?” Miss Sprott: “I don’t know, why?” Gifford: “Every time one turns around he sees a ‘Dago’.” Doc Crider (at Sikeston after game): “What is the price of a bath?” Attendant: “One dollar.” Doc: “Bud, that’s too much. Couldn’t ye put in less water an’ say fifty cents?” A SOPH. BUGBEAR I wish Wentworth was down under the sea With his confounded Algebra and Geometry; It certainly does give me a pain Trying to bisect an angle or plane; An excellent teacher is small Miss Frie, But she is always asking the reason why; A certain plane has an angle. This gets me all in a tangle; I often blush and turn very red, And often wish that I were dead; A master I shall never be, Of the book called Geometry. —THE HERMIT. SEASON’S NOTES The season of 1919-20 closed with good prospects for a winning team for 1920-21. The team lost such players as Virginia Taylor, the tall jumping center, Edith Faris and Jessie Williams. But with the material to select from it seemed possible to replace all that was lost. The season’s practice opened October 18, and a large number of candidates wrere there to win the vacant positions. As the work progressed the team was chosen with little trouble. Opal Reeves, a freshman, went in at center and Sadie Williams and Marguerite Bloker alternated at L. Forward. The old players that were back were Lenora Crider, star forward, who wras chosen to lead the team, Hal-lie Marshall, Marie Powell, and Hattie Cunningham. The first real game played against Campbell Dec 10, resulted in a one sided victory for the local girls. The following night the Blytheville girls went down with about an equal defeat. Continuing with the same stride our girls journeyed to Fornfelt, Dec 17, where we won again, but by a narrow margin. The following night Illmo took us on. and after one of the hardest fought contests it ended a tie. The trip to Illmo will never be forgotten by those who made it; even Sam has faint memories of that night. The holidays brought some relief. As soon as school work was again taken up the team went into training for the big game against Charleston that was coming soon. The strong team from Charleston whose members had played together for three of four years, came on our court Jan. 14. An easy victory was expected; however, at the end of the first half, the score was 8-9 in favor of Charleston. Determined to win. Charleston came on with a rush. Our defense crumbled and when the final whistle blew' Charleston led by a score of 32-13. The crumbling of our defense led to some changes in our line-up for the next games. Illmo came for two return games on the 21 and 22 and lost both by a good score. February 11 found Ivennett on our court w here they lost by a score practicallv as bad as that suffered by our boys on their court. The teachers and “all-stars” agreed to play the High School girls but met defeat at the hands of our speedy team. New players such as Opal and Nell showed that they equal to players of the past. The final game was played at Charleston wfhere we lost our second :;ame 36-26. Thus ended the season for 1920-21 with a record of seven victories, two defeats and one tie. It is equal to any season played thus far. Charleston was the only team to defeat us as in other years. The prospects for 1921-22 look brighter than ever. We lose but twro of our mates, and have others to take their places. With such an outlook there are all possibilities of having a championship team for 1921-22. 1 LENORE CRIDER Captain and Left Forward Here’s to brave Lenore, Our team’s little forward.

TRACK 1920 The 1920 track season was opened with a squad made up largely of new material. To make matters worse. Coach Oesch left after training had been started but a few days. Cunningham, an old track man, was elected captain of the squad and did good work from what will follow. After a few weeks of hard work a meet was arranged with Illmo on the local track. The purpose of this meet was to give the boys further training in how a meet was conducted and to get a fair estimate of what the boys could do against opposing teams. The day was ideal and the meet proved a success in every way. All contests were conducted in good style and good feeling prevailed among the contestants. Caruthersville had no weight man and lost in these. However, when the points were totaled Caruthersville won over Illmo by a score of 127 to 53. Training progressed and weight men tried harder. The Interstate Meet at Paragould, Arkansas. wras just a few days off and Caruthersville rounded into shape. This was the first time for our boys to enter this meet. Arriving in Paragould, the boys were met and conducted to their quarters. All kindness was shown and our boys felt at home. Cunningham represented the school at the coaches' meeting, where final rules and regulations were discussed and agreed upon. The meet was run off in good order and Caruthersville made a good showing; for when the final score was totaled our boys had taken fourth place, a record which spoke well when the schools that took part in the meet were considered. The annual meet at Cape Girardeau which came May 5 and 6, was not to pass without Caruthersville High School being represented. Our boys left, confident of bringing back some honor for the school. Arriving at the Cape at noon of the 5th, most of the afternoon was spent on the Normal campus and around the main building where some form of contests were in progress all afternoon. It was the athletic side of the meet that most of our boys were interested in. On the morning of the 6th, our team went to the Fairgrounds where preliminary races were held. These were run off and at the end our boys found that they had qualified two men in the high hurdles and one in the 4 40 yard run. The big afternoon came. At first the meet was slow but as it progressed more speed and rivalry was shown by the contestants. In the “high hurdles” Fields took second and Moore, third. In the “4 40 run” Floyd Cain came in third and could have finished stronger but for a poor start. The “broad jump” and “discus throw” netted a few more points, for Big Bill Morris took first in the jump and second in throwing the discus. In the “4 40 yard relay” the team simply walked away and won by a good margin. The last event of the day was the “880 yard relay.” This being considered such an important event, a special cup was given to the winning team. This team was composed of Cain. Moore, Fields and Cunningham. Cain got a bad start and let two men pass; Moore moved up and touched off Felds with one man leading; Fields held his own and touched Cunningham with one man leading about nine feet; Cun- ningham being fresh gained on Lair from Charleston and finished ahead of him with a few feet to spare. The honors won by our boys consisted of a 440 yard relay banner, a silver cup for the 880 relay, and a third place silver cup. Caruthersville took more cups and banners than any other team entered. It was the best record this school has put up at the Cape in all its history. Thus ended the most successful track season of Caruthersville High School. And with this record to back them, the team of 1921 should make a good showing. “OUR CARNIVAL” On the last day of April as the clock was proclaiming the hour of ten. Life in the small City of Caruthersville began to take on a little vim. The High School gave a carnival that was worth lot’s of money to see. The old folks lost their crutches and the youngsters yelled with glee. There were many black faced comedians from Ethiopia’s dreary shore, Many fair-faced Hawaiians and Folly Girls dressed in the days of yore. With their many wiles of flattery and that ever tempting vampish way, They held that surge of human life in their hands until close of day. The crowd with a bottle of Coca Cola and a “hamburger” in either hand, Were keeping time to the music played by the C’ville High School Band. As the hour of eleven drew on that merry night everyone was almost broke, The stands had sold out everything, nothing was left not even a “Coke.” From this day on the wonderful Carnival will be a happy annual affair. So bring along your wife and sweetheart and we’ll have a merry “Fair.” — (By MORGAN WATKINS, Incorporated.)

Pearl: “You had no business to kiss me.” Sam: “But it wasn’t business. It was pleasure.’’ BIOLOGY NOTES (Consisting of valuable notes from the notebook of the eminent scientist. Robert Hawkins.) “If I had a case ot typhoid fever, and did not want to spread it, I would first find out the source from which it came; or have an assistant find the source. If I tried, it would be likely to be more or less inclined to make my fever rise. When the source had been found I would immediately put a stop to it. I would be perfectly sanitary myself and make all the rest around me be likewise. I would not spit except upon the threat of death; 1 would not sneeze unless someone tickled me; I would not let a COUGH DROP anywhere around me; I would have all my clothes cremated; I would kill my cat if she attempted to pass out the door; I would not allow anyone to kiss me or embrace me in any way. nor would I give them any of my oranges or candy after I had played with them. When I had recovered I would put my cat in the room, stop up the keyhole, start the fumigator going, let it run all nite, get up in the morning, bury my cat and sweep out the dead germs. My conscience would be clear. If I had a case of T. B. I would immediately consult a doctor and see what form it was. If it was a case of T. B. that affects the bones, I would treat them. But I suppose that I am supposed to have a case in the lungs. Well, I would not allow myself to be found without a handkerchief; I would carry a collapsible spitoon in my pocket, and use whenever the occasion demanded; I would not blow my nostrils ’till I had given everyone in % of a mile a warning as to the danger they were in; I would not kiss any one if it were possible to keep from it; if I had a moustache I would have it removed as it would more or less detain the germs when I coughed, and I would not want them falling on the floor when I least expected it; I would not particularly care about going to a public meeting or having a large gathering in my house; I would not mail any letters until I had passed them over a blaze; and, if I kept de- dining In health I would pack my belongings and hit for the West, (via the Desring Southwestern). If I had a case of Grippe, I would lie down and think the matter ove: in a calm and death-like way. After looking the case over, and if I had a chance to recover, I would immediately set about prying the grippe loose. If any one rang my phone I would not answer it until I had told them what ailed me; and I would put up a sign to all burglars not to enter my dwelling during the nite, as it would be bad for the public; I would not sneeze or cough, as I said in the above article ,if any of the germs had an opportunity to escape; I would keep away from all drafts, especially if they came from the direction of the bank; I would sleep in an ice blanket for it is a known fact that bacteria, germs or any of that group of insects don’t thrive well in a cold climate. I would shake loose the grippe fumigator and so sleep happy, with a conscience that I would not be called to account for giving my next door neighbor the grippe, when I would have to account for my sins in the days to come.

Daniels ALUMNI ASSOCIATION Last year at the Alumni Banquet was created an organization that is destined to mean much to the students of this high school. Heretofore it has been the custom for the Senior Class to sell the tickets and make general preparation for the Senior-Alumni banquet. This, coming at a time when preparation was being made for commencement, took time badly needly by the students. Mr. Goodin, therefore, suggested that an Alumni Association be organized which would be responsible for the banquet given yearly in honor of the graduating class and which would act as a medium for cooperation between the Alumni and the students. This suggestion was gladly accepted and the Association formed, with Mr. Harry Wolfson as president, Mr. Charles Watson as secretary, and Miss Josephine Hawkins as treasurer. Active work began when Asociation’s representatives met with the Annual Staff to advise as to the publication of the Annual. They submitted the names of reputable engraving companies, compared this year’s printing with that of former years, estimated how great might be the circulation, etc. In this way they helped us to avoid some of the mistakes which they made. Social events were also planned so that the Alumni might become acquainted with the new high school students. During the early part of the winter a box supper was given at the Grammar School Gymnasium. Students and ex-students alike attended. The proceeds were to be applied on the banquet to be given in the spring. Undoubtedly there would have been many more such gatherings had not Harry been absent the latter part of the term attending school. The Class of ’21 appreciates the work of the Alumni Association and more especially the spirit in which it is done and feel confident that they may express also the thanks of the classes that are to come. ♦J� «J� « « « « « « « « « « « « ► « % «.♦. « ♦ « A «J� «• •� ❖ C.

His fortune consists not alone of the money saved— and what boy with a hundred dollars would not feel like a millionaire?—but of a valuable lesson learned. Not only has he experienced the thrill of possession, but he has caught the thrift habit. He has learned to do without useless things. He no longer squanders his money. He has better judgment of values. He is doubtless a far better boy. ---O First National Bank CARUTHERSVILLE, MO. 4 4 4 4 44444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 • 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 I A ►4 4 4 4 4 4� 4� 4 4� 4 4� 4� 4 4 4 4- 4 4 4- 4 4 4- 4 4 4� 4 4 4 4- 4� 4 4- 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4- Always a Touch of Distinction The name of this House as Sponsor for “Style” is sufficient.
