In those days, speaking of labratory “Bretherns then a man with soul so dead who never to himself hath said—“Stop throwin’ that corn or I'll break your head.” We understood that corn was to be tested to find its efficiency, momentum and effectiveness as dum dum bullets sharpened and general useful amusement. And uen it came to pass that we were Sophs. ’Twas in this manner— by gosh! We squirmed, writhed and sweated through Geometry, blew through History and slid through Caesar and managed by dint of great patience to amble over anything else that was placed in our straight and narrow pathway. During the period of time in which we censed to be Sophs, and when we began our notable career as Seniors, we were Juniors—probably through no fault of ours, hut full fledged Juniors nevertheless. When in the course of events it became embarassing for us to remain so ami necessity that we should change our course—we became—to an behold! Seniors!

Only the low moaning of the wind breaks the stillness of the night. The fire has burned to a few glowing coals that paint wierd and fascinating pictures upon the surrounding walls. wonderful transition takes place in the smoldering embers. A massive structure with letters of gold emblazoned upon its entrance revelation of thought, can be seen the old winding stairs of Caruthersville High School. A host of spectres, clad in robes of clinging black, sit in solemn council around the time-stained rostrum of tlie study hall. A tall and stately figure in his shroud of black, slowly arid solemnly moves to the steps of the rostrum, and begins to speak in a low sepulchral voice. Royal Knights of the Black Robe, it is my duty as Worshipful Master to summon you this night of all nights, for our last meeting We have long ago passed through the period of germination and classification, and have now finished our reign of nationalibation. Tomorrow we look forward to the stage of realization, where our hopes and ambitions are no longer a dream, but a living reality. We will ascend the path of success into the fertile plains of prosperity, for we have heard the clarion call of opportunity. My beloved Knights of the Royal Order, it is with regret 1 bid you farewell, for I have learned to love each of you with an unfaltering love that will stand the deterioration of time. We have but a few minutes of time for the enchanted hour approaches on tireless wings. I have one request to make of you. While I hold the Holy Emblem of our Royal Order in my hands will you file forward and pay it the allegiance and reverence that you have in the past The black robe spectres arose ; s one and stepped forward to do their Master’s bidding. As the last spectre lifted the Holy Emblem to trembling lips, a tolling bell proclaims the mid-night hour. The spectres vanish into the viel of oblivion. The moon-beams still filter through the windows of the silent hall. The Holy Emblem of the “Junior Clrss of 1922“ unfurls its silken folds to the winds of time. — By LESLIE MORGAN.

INTRODUCTION OF THE MILLENNIUM The present age of reasoning and enlightenment may indeed be reckoned from the inauguration of President Glen Correll, March 4, 1928, and who is now serving his third term as Chief Executive of the United States, an unprecedented event He works in perfect harmony with his Cabinet for it consists of such intelligent citizens, as follows: Masters Gifford Edgerton, Ernest Hazel, Charlie Knoerr, Hoyet Cain and Misses Vivian Hooper. Mary K. Hall, Grace Amburgey and Marian Musgrave, all noted suffragists. Of course no government can be devoid of factionalism. In 1931 there was a bitter disagreement in the Senate over a bill entitled: “Should men be compelled to do without sleeves in their vests?” Lawyer Corbett explained Dissensions all legal passages, then there followed a spirited debate between in the Senator Fisher and Mr. Vernie Nichols, Speaker of the House, who Senate n the course of their speeches made many personal remarks, which led to almost a riot, the main participants of which were Senators Evans, Mehrle and Price. As these conditions progressed it became necessary for Cleo Garrett, “Bouncer” for the House, with the aid of his assistant, Miss Brownie Jtice, to take charge of affairs and restore order. Since that time nothing similar has occurred. During recent years the U. S. has become the “Laboratory of the World,” because of its contributions to “Higher Knowledge and Culture.” In the field of Science much has been accomplished through the combined efforts of Science Julian Jumper and Miss Irene Darnall. Their latest and most Literature popular book is on “How an Excessive Crop of Cooties may be turn- Music e(l into an Asset.” Also for the benefit of Science, Jack Long has suffered his head to be examined, but nothing as yet has been discovered except quantities of mysterious little bugs. Misses Viola Nichols, Ruby Williams and Lorene Crockett have been working for years trying to analyze said bugs, but it seems that not even their training under the eminent scientist, Miss Eunice Miiller, has equipped them to unravel such mysteries. Among Literary Achievements, perhaps Hamra’s “He tamed Her” and Tinsley’s love poem “Next to Pork and Beans, 1 Love Her Best” ranks the highest. Music also has not been slighted for Prof. Doc Crider has invented an instrument by which voices are so trained that frogs may become rivals to larks. To Crider’s genius perhaps, Misses Lucy Arnold and Frances Mehrle owe their success as prima-donnas. We will now recount the persons and events to whom art owes its progress. In 1931 Broad way was made to sit up and take notice, when Ziegfeld Jr., introduced Misses Mary Shade. Bessie Richards, Freddie Marshall and Marie Parks to the opera-going public. Their triumphs have never been equaled. Art The ladies were charming and beautiful while the men were known for their voices, wit and the many times their managers went bankrupt. Due credit must also be given to Misses Clara V. Corbett, Josephine Van Cleve, Marie Huffman and Dorothy French, the four most beautiful chorus girls of their day, also the most notorious. In the silent drama, the stars are many, Ruth Crowe has put Mary Pickford in the shade, while Gilbert Hazel has succeeded to the laurels of Fatty Arbuckle. The public is always thrilled when they see Nellie Alexander play op-Movies posite her leading man, Albert Brent. Nettie Acuff has captured the admirers of Zaza Pitts, while fame is looming in R. C. Powell’s future for he does creditable work in Child Characterizations and as “Life Saver” to Mack Sennet beauties. Since Evertt Argo h:s come into his own, Wallace Reid’s business has been on the bum, and Byron French’s work is ranked with that of Cecil De Mille’s. Evolution is indeed bringing about many changes, for Miss Margaret Wolfe is traveling in “Setzer’s Circus” as “Fat Ella.” Geraldine Matthews gained renown by owning a hen that laid a black egg and Misses Violet Naylor and Willie Pollock, who wrere once timid are now successful dare devils in a motordome. Among modern philosophers, Floy Shoptaw is the most popular. Her advice to wives is “Live in a Flat, Eat in a Restaurant, and keep your Husband under Proper Discipline ’ FINIS —MARIE PARKS.

II. Athletics FOOT BALL The Caruthersville High School Foot Ball Team led by Captain Hanley opened ihe 1921 season at home, September 20th. We were defeated by Sikeston 26-0. Next came the Blytheville game which we won 14-7. This game was marked by the brilliant playing of Crider, Powell nd Reeves. The following Friday we won from Osceola 6 3-0. In this game every man played great bill, especially our end men, Nichols, Hazel and Cain. They gave a great demonstration of bre: king up pla s and tackling. Next in order came Jackson and their big reputation, whom we battled to a 0-0 tie. Every man worked h. rd, and if our captain had not caused us a 25-yard penalty on our one foot line we would have won. Blytheville came next and evened up their defeat by beating us 25-13. It was just one of those off days and seemed as though nothing went right. Our old rival on docket was Kennett, which meant a battle. This resulted in a 0-0 tie game. Fumbles took our chances away for a touchdown. The biggerf feature of this game was that our line held for four downs on the one yard line, and we kicked out of danger. We went to Jackson hoping to play our next game. Weather conditions caused the game to be called off. This was a disappointment to all. On Thanksgiving we were to play Kennett again, but weather conditions caused the game to be postponed until December 2nd. This game was a battle. It re suited in a 7-7 tie. The second tie game with them this year. A neat forward pass earned Kennett their touchdown and real hard old plugging, by Crider and Powell took the ball over for us. Reeves kicked goal. This closed the 19 21 foot ball season for C. H. S., also the stiffest schedule we ever had. We finished with 500 points, winning two, losing two, and tieing three Captain Hanley deserves credit for his leadership ability for he did it well. He turns the line over to Raymond Crider for 1922, who should be a great leader. At a banquet given by the Retail Merchants Association, fifteen men were presented with beautiful white svve ters with an Old English Cardinal “C.” TEAMS PLAYED AT SCORE WON BY Sikeston vs. Caruthersville________Caruthersville____26 0 __________________Sikeston Osceola vs. Caruthersville----------------Osceola____13-12____________________Osceola Blytheville vs. Caruthersville-----Caruthersville____14-7 __________ Caruthersville Osceola vs. Caruthersville---------Caruthersville____63-0_____________Caruthersville Blytheville vs. Caruthersville--------Blytheville____23-13 ______________ Blytheville Jackson vs. Caruthersville---------Caruthersville____0-0_____________________________ Kennett vs. Caruthersville----------------Kennett____0-0_____________________________ Jackson vs. Caruthersville----------------Jackson----Cancelled----------------------- Kennett vs. Caruthersville Carut hersville______7-7 C.

Reading left to right—Josephine Van Cleve, Sadie Williams, Marie Powell, Hallie Marshall, Opal Reeves, Capt., Ruth Williams, Alberta Knoerr, Lenore Crider, Irene York, Marcella Smith, Dorothy French, Coach Matthews. 1 1— Opal, as a center, will sure take the cake, and we’ll have her with us for some time, we’re glad to state. 2— Lenore, our forward, personifies speed, grit, sand, and with regret we lose her this year for she’s the best in the 1 nd. 3— Sadie, our other forward, is there with the ball, and in guarding her opponents have found her a veritable brick wall. 4— Ruth, our Freshie, is known for her speed, and if she keeps this up, of all S. E. running center you’ll surely read. 4 7—Alberta, though little is deft and quick, and her guards find—to guard her is something of a trick. 8—Hallie, as of old, is staunch, deft and sure, and makes the best of forwards show up poor. 5—Marie, as a guard is a riot. We lose her this year, but we’ll remember her pep and fight. 6—Marcella, as a guard has won her fame, and when it comes to guarding, she holds the game. BASKET BALL. C. H. S. efforts at the indoor sport for the season have not been so successful from the standpoint of games won and lost, but it was not altogether disheartening and the outlook for next season is all the brighter. The team was a good one this year, as teams go, but they did not get together and display their full strength until we met the fast team from Cape Girardeau. The Red and White Quintet began their schedule by meeting Portageville and being defeated by two points. The other games played and the scores made will be found in our schedule which is given elsewhere in this volume. It was a hard luck season, but it brought out the fact that we had the “goods' after all, and that if they had put forth the best that was in them we would have landed a good deal closer to the top; but it takes good men to lose and we have them on our teams. The captains for next year have been chosen and are as follows: Cleo Gar- rette will lead the boys and Sadie Williams will have charge of the girls.

The Alumni Banquet of the Caruthersville High School, held at the Woman s Club building and served by members of that organization last Tuesday evening, was one of the most successful in the history of the school. The attendance was probably the largest ever had, there being one hundred and fifty or more covers, partly by reason of the fact that the graduating class this year is the largest ever turned out by the local high school, and due partly to the growing numbers of the Alumni Association. In addition to these, each of whom was permitted the courtesy of inviting a friend,the members of the high school faculty, the clergy and the local press were invited,swelling the number in attendance to unprecedented figures, so that at the last the sale of tickets had to be curtailed In order to keep the number within thescopeofthebuilding’s accommodation. The handsome room of the new club was ornately decorated in the colors of the graduating class and with a profusion of beautiful roses, the class flower, and the tables were adorned with lovely cut glass and silver, with boquets of roses and other flowers. Attorney Chas. G. Shepard, who for a period of fourteen years ‘‘back in the days of 184 7 or thereabouts,’’served as a member of the local school board and who at all times has had a keen interest in school affairs, presided as toast master in his usual easy and fluent manner and for a period of three hours or more, following the serving of the delicious fruit cocktail with which the courses opened, kept the audience well entertained between toasts on the part of the various guests called up on. First of these was a representative of the class of 1903-4, Mrs. Georgia Acuff, who spoke briefly of the history of the members of the class, some fourteen in number, and who was followed by Harry Malloure, of the class of ’07-8. Mitchell Wolfson, in his easy and entertaining style, responded for the class of ’13-14, after which Mrs. Smith, editor of the Republican, was called upon as a representative of the press, bearing the unique distinction of one of the few feminine editors of the state. Superintendent Goodin responded for the faculty, emphasizing his earnest desire to serve increasingly well the schools of the city, as the head of whose faculty he has again been chosen for the coming year, and he asked for the patient consideration of the patrons in his efforts to do well for them under adverse circumstances, notably the lack of proper room in the high school building. He pleaded for the co-operation rather than the destructive criticism of the people and impressively pledged his whole-souled effort to give the school the best service of which he is capable in future, as he has in the past. Representing the Freshmen Class, Gifford Edgerton was called upon, and Hayes Gowan spoke for the Sophomores, followed shortly by C. F. Bloker, for the Board of Education, of which body he has for some years served as Secretary. Like the Superintendent, Mr. Bloker pledged the utmost effort of the body he represents to do the very best possible to be done for the cause of education here, reminding the people of the limitations under which the Board heretofore has labored and which may restrict its activities more or less for some time yet. Charles Huntley represented the Junior class in a brief speech and Dow Edgerton spoke for the graduates, which class he has served since its organization as its President. Edgerton acquitted himself very well indeed, giving evidence of the training which he has had in our school during the past two years, and his remarks, during which he voiced the gratitude of the class for the painstaking endeavor in their behalf by the faculty and pledged their intention to profit by their training and to live up to the expectations of their instructors and of the public, were quite well received. Much credit is due Chas. E. Watson, secretary and acting president of the Alumni Association, for the success of the affair, as it was under his direction, in the absence of Harry Wolfson, the president, that the function was promoted. Mr. Watson read a communication from President Wolfson, in which he voiced his regret at his inability to be present. (He is attending Washington University at St. Louis and was unable to leave just at this time.) Following this communication Mr. Watson moved a vote of thanks to the Womans Club and to such individuals thereof, to the school faculty and others who had been instrumental in making the banquet a great success, whish was heartily voted by the assemblage. Elections of officers was then taken up, after Secretary Watson had rendered a brief report of the activities of the Alumni Association during the past year, the first of its organization, and he was unanimously chosen its president for the coming year. Miss Edna Cunningham was elected as vice-president, Bailey Brooks, secretary and Curtner Pierce as treasurer, after which, the end of the speakers’ list having come simultaneously with the transaction of the business of the Association and the exhaustion of the most excellent menu, the meeting adjourned. And, speaking of the matter of the cuisine, which had been so tastily prepared and so neatly and smoothly served by the ladies of the Club, we can not forbear giving the menu list, and we will leave it to the mind of the individual reader if it alone was not worth the “price of admission” without taking into consideration the pleasure of the intellectual treat which the various speeches meant to the fortunate guests: Senior Cocktail Ham—Southern Style Raisin Sauce Ball Dressing Saratoga Ships Sliced Tomatoes Stuffed Eggs Rolls Butter Pickles Radishes Butterfly Salad Wafers Apricot Cream Angel Cake Coffee Mints EVOLUTION. In the Halls of C. H. S. there strutted in The Freshman Class of 1918; Our steps were proud, our heads held high. Even the Seniors’ knowledge we felt able to defy. Rut soon we learned our bridges were burned. And our minimum knowledge by even the Sophs was spurned; So our egotism waned and our heads went down. And we learned to dig for our mental crown. By the time we were Seniors and ready to leave Our reassurance returned and we were not afraid to breathe; So in return for our horrible past, We heaped jokes on the Freshies from first to last. When we saw our diplomas we were almost staggered But we had managed to gain them, although from the effects we did look haggard. So we walked serenely out of C. H. S., Promising our teachers we would do our best; We were a little glad and a whole lot blue. When our school year ended in 1922. P. I.

When the cake is rising slowly Oh! how empty we all feel If the odors do not tempt you All I can say is that you’re unreal. There was a time when farmer boy Was the comedian’s chief joy, His clothes, his speech, his rustic ways, The joke of nearly half the plays. ’Tis different now, on bended knee, The nations all before him bow, “Our welfare all depends on Thee! Farmer! All praise we Thee allow.” Now farmer boys are college bred, Scientific agriculture, it is said The greatest of all the trades.

FLOYD BARNHART P. I. H. ’y JUNIOR FARMERS WEEK AT COLUMBIA. -BY-CHAS: F. WARREN. Teacher of Agriculture C. H. S. For years the College of Agriculture of the University of Missouri has, been putting on a special program for the Farmers of the State during the second week in January. Since Vocational Agriculture and Club work have been in existence it has been demonstrated that boys and girls can be taught farming as well as their fathers. Undoubtedly the boys and girls of the State have made an impression with those in charge of the College of Agriculture, for this year the University staged a Junior Farmers’ Week for all Vocational Agricultural Schools, High Schools, and Boys’ and Girls’ Clubs, during the week of November 7th to 11th. The chief features of the program were the Grain and Stock-judging Contests. There were 3 65 Junior Farmers present, the majority of whom were boys from Vocational Agriculture schools, as there were only twenty representatives from clubs. Each school or club was represented in each contest by three boys. Only twenty schools took part in the grain contest, while there were forty-six teams in the stock-judging work. The boys from Caruthersville who attended Junior Farmers’ Week were John Robert Bader, Joe Scharmahorn, Buford Thweatt and Maxie Scott. The first three named represented our school in the Stock-judging contest, and considering the fact that they were the youngest and the smallest boys in the contest, and being only High School Freshmen, they deserve a great deal of credit for gaining 22nd place for Caruthersville when there were 45 other teams of more mature and experienced boys in the contest. In fact a few more points would have placed our boys 12th, for there was a difference of only 26 points, as compared with a possible 980, between the Caruthersville score and that of the team that ranked 12th. On the basis of individual scores John Robert Bader ranked first on the team, Joe Scharmahorn, second and Buford Thweatt, third. However, the work of all ihree boys was quite uniform, there being a difference of only a few points in each of their scores. The boys were handicapped in their training for the contest due to the lack of pure bred live stock in our community. We have an abundance of good hogs and mules, but when it comes to pure bred dairy cows, beef cattle and sheep, the com- A 1 I J - - munity has plenty of room for growth. In the contest the boys had to judge nine rings of animals, there being four animals to each ring. The classes judged were as follows: Jersey cows, Holstein cows, Duroc Jersey fat barrows, Poland China gilts, Percheron mares, Sugar mules. Shropshire sheep, Shorthorn heifers and Hereford cows. The boys had fifteen min- utes in which to judge each ring and write such memoranda as they desired. After all classes were judged the contestants were required to give oral reasons for their placings on five of the nine classes. These reasons were given before a committee of three and the boys had only two minutes in which to give reasons on any one class. All in all it was a hard day for the boys and it took nerve on their part. I wonder how many grown folks could do it. There were special programs for those not in the contests, and night programs for everyone. The entire week was interesting and instructive. In addition to the Junior Farmer program it was “Home-Coming Week” at the University and many interesting stunts took place. Caruthersville had the distinction of being the most distant school represented at Columbia, and of having covered the distance of 375 miles in a Ford. The trip was made in the light delivery Ford Roadster, supplemented by a cab made in the farm shop. The cab was made inhabitable by means of two large celluloid- covered observation windows, and two seats covered with 21 army blankets loaned us by the National Guard company. The trip was made with very little trouble and was much enjoyed by all members of the party.. The boys think it was well worth the $25.00 they spent, and they all want to attend Junior Farmers’ Week again. We hope it will be possible to take the entire Agriculture Class next year, for it is one of the best opportunities the boys will ever have for seeing what other Junior Farmers are doing, and for getting information which cannot be obtained at home. We are not running our department of Agriculture for the sake of a trip to Columbia, but the trip to Junior Farmers’ Week will boost our department because it fills our boys with the ambition to be better farmers, and that is one of the purposes of our work. But to accomplish this we need the support of the entire community and we feel sure that we have it. ★ ★ mn •« • . •f 4jrtcvjtur . •W-U. •) horf r MMti C4r QorrtfT a® it? :'W ■ FRED WATKINS’ EXPENSE ACCOUNT.

Yes, the day was beautiful and so were wt We had everything that goes with a carnival—Hamburgers, pickles, red soda, ice cream, candy, and above all we had the doll racks—one down, two cigars, too. Then when you had eaten all you could we had places for you to rest—not only your muscles, but your nerves as well. The places were: Minstrel show, Hawaiian Dances, Fortune Teller, Strongest Girl in the World, Why Girls Leave Home, and other attractions too numerous to mention. The demand for our shows wTas so great that we were forced to begin our performance at 11 o’clock A. M. and continue until 11 o’clock P. M. You had to attend the carnival to really appreciate the wonderful talent found here in your home town. The financial side must not be forgotten. From proceeds we were able to pay off all our debts and leave C. H. S. with a clean slate for the year 1921-22. The carnival was such a success that it will be given again this year. Don’t fail to see the many attractions which will be there. IY. Jokes ♦ LOSSOM QUESTIONS. Why is it the faculty always want to use old pictures? Can you blame them?

Dennis: That’s too much “BULL.” SOPHOMORE-SENIOR “BLOWOUT” It is not necessary to be a Caesar student to be able to translate the phrase. ‘Sophomore Senior Blowout ’ Almost anyone of ordinary intelligence can look in a “Modern Dictionary” and see that those three words are used together as above, they are synonymous with: “Hot Time,” “Mirth Factory,” “Ain’t We Got Fun.” etc. What I mean they did have fun, in fact the “White Elephant Party” was THE social event of the season. ’Tis true, though, it might have resembled a “Chinese Picnic for Nigger Relief,” because all the Seniors and Sophs were disguised as clowns, bareback riders, snake charmers or fortune tellers. Now, in order to make a long story short, we will just come to a Geometric conclusion. We have: Given: The principal factors of C ville High. i. e, Sophomores Seniors and Faculty To prove: That we did have fun and the party was a success. Proof: The refreshments were good. (Given.) Everyone behaved. (Supposition.) Miss Rice presided and is a perfect hostess. (By construction.! Miss Miller and R. C. received prizes which were small, sugared animal cakes. (Axiom 1. Sweets to the Sweet.) Nothing was lacking. We did have fun and the party was a success. (Because you never heard of the Sophs, undertaking anything that was not a success.) Q. E. D. P. S. We are sure that Miss Frie would give us E on the above proposition, because she was “there.” FINIS. JUNIOR AND SENIOR FROLIC. Blue-Bird. Don’t you hear the call? We Seniors heard the call of the Juniors to come to their party on Washington’s Birthday, and a very delightful evening was the result of our listening. We were royally entertained by many games, one of which was “The Blind Feeding the Blind.” In most every trial Genevieve would hit Fred’s mouth. We do not say there was any dishonesty portrayed, but Genevieve and Fred would surely make good blind persons!?? We feel sure that Miss Rice is a star in the game of baseball, because she showed to us her talent of making home runs. Also we are led to believe that Miss Miller has some time or other, in the course of life, umpired many a game, and we know that Ernest is the champion pitcher of the U. S. A. We fully believe that there are many orators in our Junior-Senior classes because of their splendid oration of the great poem, “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star.” Most every game was followed by a nice little dance, which we enjoyed really more than the games. Oh! But do not let us forget about the refreshments. We do not know who was on the “Eats” committee, but they surely did have good taste, as well as the visitors. The Faculty enjoyed the Eats just as much as if they were as young as the rest of us. What did you say, “Faculty?” If you do not believe we had a good time just ask Ben Prater. Ben made his debut into society as a great dancer. (Is this true, Ben?) Having accomplished this much, Ben said he could never, never miss a good frolic. FRESH MEN-JUNIOR FROLIC Have you ever seen a Funny Paper? No? Well, you should have been with us at the Freshman party where the Juniors were being entertained. My! What fun we did have! They say laughing makes one fat; if that is true I’m sure everyone gained six pounds. Miss Miller and Helen Powell came dressed in a newspaper—we can’t say they left dressed in the same. However, they came prepared for any kind of accident (?) Genevieve Bloker and Mary Jackson gave to us the real life of Polly Anna as we see her many times. The Juniors were highly entertained in many ways, but dancing was the specialty. Last, but not least, the refreshments were served, which consisted of Hamburgers and ice cream. Did we eat? Ask the Freshmen what the BILL amounted to. THE PUBLIC SCHOOL LYCEUM Believing in the refining, educating, and uplifting influences of clean and wholesome entertainment of a literary nature it has bee the policy of the Caruthersville Public School to maintain in connection with other activities, a Lyceum Course during the winter months. These courses have consisted of six attractions of high order and merit, embracing among their numbers entertainers and lecturers of national reputation. This lecture course is fostered by and conducted under the auspices of the school in order that the pupils may be brought into close relationship with this class of uplifting entertainment. For this purpose it has been the policy of the management to sell tickets of admission to these entertainments among the pupils of the school at reduced prices making the cost as low as is possible without incurring a financial loss at the end of the season. It would be impossible for the school to maintain this department of its activities if it were not for the backing in a financial way given by the progressive and broad minded business men of the city. Each season fifteen to twenty representative business men sign the contract with the Iledpath Bureau guaranteeing the payment of the cost of the course of six numbers. The sale of season tickets has always met such hearty response on the part of citizens and students that we have never had a defiicit to make up at the end of the season. The course has never been conducted with a view to financial profit, and the price of the tickets has been kept down so that all may take advantage of the numbers at little expense. The talent selected for next season gives every reason to believe that next season’s course will be equal if not superior to any of the former courses during the past three years. ★ ★ JOKES Moral: A man generally smokes for comfort and a woman takes off her shoes.

The story of the operetta concerns a picnic party, to which Reginald Montgomery takes his mother’s cook disguised as a titled lady, to play a joke on the rest of the party. Reginald’s friends make much ado over Patricia, but when Mrs. Montgomery arrives, explanations ensue, and the party are much chagrined to find they have been entertaining a cook. The party is enlivened by the appearance of gypsy fortune tellers, Cy Simpkins and Warren Miles, a farmer, who falls in love with Patricia. The whole party referms and they all agree to go into town and celebrate the doublewedding of Jimmy and Margaret and Warren Miles and Patricia. THE CAST.

We had a regular Irish party, to celebrate St. Patrick's Day, and also the nationality of most of the members of the Senior class. Guests began to arrive about 7:30 and soon the orchestra started playing and everyone enjoyed dancing for a few minutes. Of course, our class being so talented, we could hirdly get along without exposing our dramatic ability, so, in honor to ourselves, we entertained with jokes and songs. The musical part of the program was rendered by Miss Hemingway and Mr. Barnhart. After the short program was given the orchestra again played and on went the dance! But, the best part of the evening was when the “eats” were served. All Seniors like to eat, therefore we “et.” Cake, sandwiches, Eskimo pies and coca cola was served, and in this art everyone excelled, even those we did not know were gifted with talent. The only fault we think anyone could find with the party is that it didn’t last long enough. SOPHOMORES.
