F. H. S. ' the result of concentrated efforts of the several I N organizations comprising high school life. At the beginning of the fall term it was taken for granted that, as usual, an annual would be published this year. Quite ignorant of their several duties, yet eager to learn, the staff elected by the student body began their ceaseless days of work and worry that the third edition of Red and Black might prove a success. VVithout the generous assistance of the faculty, alumni, and students of C. F. High, this would have been impossible. Wllenever we needed help, the faculty was our bank of strength. Upon them we drew for supplies of advice and encouragement. Miss Funk di- rected the midwinter play which is an important factor in the fi- nancing of this book, under Mr. Hill and Miss Miller the commer- cial students have been generous in their assistanceg Miss Hansen has always been ready to help in any way she could, and Miss Snavely conducted the story contest. The alumni and students made many contributions. In short, everyone connected with the High School has been most generous with his assistance and our ap- preciation of these services is unlimited.

The quarter credit work in Glee Clubs. Orchestra. I.it- erary Society. Debating. Gymnasium and Sunday School work have reached a total of forty-one full credits. A concerted effort has been made to reduce the number of failures and as a result the per cent of failures the first semester was only one-half as great as that for the corresponding semester last year. The last figures especially. speak well for Superintendent Speer and his excellent corps of teachers. The tranquility of affairs was somewhat disturbed by the loss of three of our teachers during the year and the time required to elect competent successors. Miss Etna Freeberg. who was forced to give up her work as German and Spanish teacher soon after school began in the fall. was succeeded by Miss Betty M'estphal. Boys and girls alike mourn the loss of Mrs. Alberta Heald. whose popularity. both per- sonal and as supervisor of music. was universal. Miss Alice VVard. who succeeded Mrs. Heald. has done as much good work. in both Glee Clubs and other musical work. as has been possible in the very little time allowed for High School music. Miss Brusie. who left Cedar Falls to accept a position in VVaterloo. was succeeded as Girls' Physical Training Director by Miss Margaret Johnson. Miss Esther Dame was elected to relieve Mrs. Kingman and Misses Snavely and Brammer. lYe also wish to mention a few of last year's faculty. who are not with us this year. Fraulein Bahl received her A. B. degree from l. S. T. C. in March. after which she went to Florida. where her parents live. Her plans for the future are as yet undecided. A. C. Grubb is also studying at the College. Miss lrene Piper is teaching three days of the week near Gary, Ind., and is teaching voice and also study- ing voice in Chicago under Torrens. Mr. I.auterbach is holding down a position in lily, Nevada. Miss Ruth Fall is teaching in the public schools of Mason City. Miss Hurd is studying in Columbia University and will receive her lNlaster's degree at the end of this year. This being Mr. YVard's last year here, we wish to give him hon- orable n1ention for the good work he has done in C. F. H. S.. especially in athletics. During the tive years Mr. lvard has been connected with this school. its athletics has been of the highest class, and a great part of the credit, at least, is due to Mr. Ward as athletic director. Perhaps even more this year than before. the faculty have helped to make Ri-in AND BLACKN a success. Miss Hansen has given the Staff much able advice and assis- tance. Miss Funk coached the mid-winter play. The Lion and the Mouse. Miss Snavely conducted a story contest. Each and every one of the sixteen on the fac' ulty helped in any and all possible ways. May the students cooperate with the faculty to make Run AND IQLACKU a bigger and better Annual each year and to make Cedar Falls High School the best High School in this State.

'1- ff sam J, Class Poem VVe are gazing our last at the old school door, And deep in our hearts is the thought Of those old happy days that are coming no more, Of the joys that our school life has brought. lt seems, looking back, as a vague, misty dream, The days rolling by, slow-and fast, While here and there, with a still brighter gleam Shines some mem'ry that always will last. With our hopes springing on to some far distant goal To see what the future will be, As in greater Humanity's class we enroll, We'll look back, our dear High School, to thee. To our happiest days, spent within thy old doors, To our squelchings-they're part of the game, We pledge thee our friendship and love evermore, And promise for thee to win fame. VVhat Senior will not, at the last of the year, When his High School is over forever, Turn to look, with almost a feeling of fear, The dear old connections to sever. Let us say our Farewells,', and as cheerful depart As cheerful we entered that day VVhen as Freshmen, we struggled to make a brave start, And Senior seemed so far away. But thanking the faculty, students, and friends, And wishing good luck to each oneg For all that they've given we can't make amends, Education-companionship-fun. VVe are leaving, 'tis true, but in some future day As our journey through life we pursue, We'll look back on the past, and in looking will say, Three cheers, C. F. High School, to you. i M. V.

'17 eff-1 5 gfayi 'Qi X ,1 x -54 and Ealatele Senior Class History V , F anyone had chanced to pass by the old Cedar Falls High School on one September morning four years ago, they might have seen a great number , v 'F .-1, B i W uf, in A L55 ' of boys and girls entering, and perhaps in the array of green and fright- B ' 'li ' , O ened little Freshmen, they might have recognized some of our brave and dignified Seniors of to-day. Miss Bahl was given charge of this promising class, and although she declared it to be one of the most noisy and troublesome classes she had ever seen, this was only a forecast of their present pep and spirit. One of the events of the year was the Freshman party, at which a general good time was enjoyed. The rest of the Freshman year passed uneventfully, and when the following September came, the former Freshmen were proud to enter and be honored by the important name of Sophomores. It was great fun to initiate the innocent little Freshmen into the mysteries of High School life. Miss Bahl again experienced great difficulty with Warren Sherman who insisted upon giggling and whispering, and also with Dora Hansen, who would chew gum and always acted so loud and boisterous. On the other hand, Allen Bailey and Fred Jean studied so industriously that she feared a nervous breakdown. And then there were Bob Wise and Harry Mast, who were so infatuated with the fair sex that they shamefully neglected their lessons. During the first semester of the Junior year, Forrest Thompson was elected class president, Virginia Gordon, vice president, and Helen Stine, secretary and treasurer. Miss Snavely and Mr. Grubb were made class sponsers. Just after Christmas vacation, the other classes of the school were so considerate of our feelings as to permit us to win the cup offered for the basketball championship of the school. On the evening of March second, the Juniors had a party at Wise's which was attended by about sixty. including thc faculty. The guest of honor was the Senior President, who was cordially if not gently invited for the occasion. The next class event was the Senior-Junior picnic which was held in the new gym because of rain. Nevertheless a good time was enjoyed, altho Mr. Ward and M -s Vviler had an ice cream fight and were the cause of all Mr. Brown's wrath. VVe think our faculty should be taught better manners. A few days after this, the Junior-Senior banquet was held in the corridors of the high school. An interesting program was given. Now in their fourth and last year of high school they have at last attained thc sought for goal of Seniors, with Harold Mitze as president, Ethyl Yvilson, vice pres- ident, and Nellie Taylor, treasurer and secretary. One night in October the Seniors held a picnic. All were present and also the eats, in spite of the efforts of the Juniors. Did Miss Hansen find John the Baptist that night, she seemed to be star gazing? The next event of importance was the reception given the Junior-Senior girls by the Junior-Senior boys. This was considered a great success by all who attended. Then came the election of officers for the second semester. Iver Christoffersen was elected president, Beatrice Decker, vice president, Ruth Snider, treasurer, and Nellie Taylor, re-elected secretary. Now the time is at hand when the class of '17 must leave Cedar Falls High never to meet again as a class. It is with sincere regret that we break off the associations which have become so dear to us in the past four years. D. M. '17 F. N. '17 Tlzirty-five y an are Class Prophecy whole process by which Freshmen of C. F. H. S. are made into Seniors was fwjn again completed and fifty-six varieties of the finished product were anxiously waiting for their diplomas. f'Fifty-six Seniors, bold and brilliant, on whom the fre, teachers had labored unceasmgly for four years. Fifty-six Seniors who had dared to wear Old Gold and White shoe strings and to flaunt both colors and posters in the face of the timid Juniors. Fifty-six Seniors loyal defenders of the Red and Black. As Miss Hansen thought of these graduating fifty-six, the night before graduation, many incidents both pleasant and painful came back to her. She remembered the countless times she had had to drive these noisy chatterers to their rooms when the five-minute bell had been rung. Also she remembered the times she had heard these same Seniors yelling nine rahs for Thompy at football games and for Eva at contests. Now her brain was troubled with anxious thoughts for the future of these Seniors What would they amount to? What would become of them? There was no doubt that the teachers had done their best, but from now on these care free Fifty-six must meet their bat- tles alone. Would they prove equal to the situations which would confront them? , For hours the principal pondered over these things, and not until the first gray streaks of morning shot across the sky did sleep come to her weary mind. As soon as she sank into re- pose, she was transported to a wonderful land of dreams. Here she found herself seated on a delightful rustic bench, within a shady arbor. All about her were scattered many little things destined to make her happiness supreme. The air was clear and warm. No fieecy clouds marred the perfect blue of the June sky. Birds twittered cheerily from trees nearby and butterflies fluttered in and out of the arbor. For what seemed hours the principal rested her weary eyes on these beautiful surround- ings, while all the trials of the past four years seemed gradually to vanish. The lines in her brow, caused by many anxious moments for the Seniors, were smoothed away. No thoughts of the noisy and mischievous Fifty-six troubled her. The very air seemed imbued with a charm of quiet and calm. Truly it seemed that her happiness must be complete. Suddenly a feeling of discontent, of something lacking, seemed to creep over her and to impel her to leave the arbor in search of it. Far and wide she searched, but in vain, so she again returned to the bench to rest. At length a peal of gay and joyous music, from down the long lane of the arbor, startled her and awakened her to the fact that somewhere in the arbor the Fifty-six were scattered. Down the endless path of time she hurried, but not until she had crossed the shadow of ten years did she discover any of those for whom she was searching. Then the first gentle breeze seemed to waft to her ears the direful rumor of a lost Arctic party, of which Joe Turner and Warren Sherman were members. The rescue party, with Joe Eiler in charge, had already set out and Eva Pinch was hurriedly following with a party of nurses. In Minnesota the principal found the same two athletic stars who had been the pride of C. F. H. S., Forrest Thompson and William Iblings, still playing at their old games. On two tiny farms near Janesville, Lurilla Greenlee and Beatrice Decker, inseparable as ever, were making two farmers happy. As she passed I. S. T. C. she heard a familiar voice. Dr. John C. Kingman, president, as usual, was giving bits of advice to the teachers as he handed out the diplomas to the gradu- ates. Among these were Ruth Snider and Mary Justice, who had finished the Home Econom- ics course and already had jobs in Dike and Benson in which they might put into practice their knowledge. Many of the dauntless Fifty-six had remained in their home town and had taken up their work there. Iver Christoffersen was manning the Commercial Club, besides looking after school affairs in the capacity of president of the school board. Mae Ceperley was drawing cartoons for the Record and the story was told that she had been offered the position on the staff of the Register and Leader, held by Ding, Thirty-six l miami- air -Q- ty V Q61 anslklilaek, '1 The feminine charms of College Hill were still holding Bonney Hansen in Cedar Falls. but Hattie Iblings was only awaiting a call from Salt Lake City. In many respects Virginia Gordon-VVillard was far outshining her kiuswoman, Frances Willard, in a little metropolis nearby. Ethyl Scoggin and her father were conducting a successful plumbing business in Cedar Falls. George Scoggin had graduated from Ames, with honors, Init had given up all oppor- tunities in this country to cross the water and fight for France. Xvith him had gone Ethyl iVilson and Josephine .Iamerson with a contingent of Red Cross nurses. In New York Allen Bailey was dancing his way to fame in the chorus of a successful musical comedy, while Esther Quinby held the position of wardrobe woman in the same com- pany. Marguerite Philo had gone from had to worse and had been forced to play hcr fiddle on the streets of Chicago in order to earn her living. Marjorie Nuhn and Florence Nolte had lost their pro-Germanisrn and were in Canada working in a department store, Marjorie selling looking glasses and switches, and Florence in charge of the spats counter. Far across the Pacific in the darkest corner of China, Fred Jean and Helen Stine were zcalously laboring to convert the heathen. Mildred Jepsen and Dora Hansen were holding positions in the school for the deaf and dumb at Council Bluffs. In the Olympic games at Athens, Doris Berry was entered for the Marathon and Ella Wood for discus throwing. Wynona Clausing and Esther Carter, two suffrage enthusiasts, were doing picket duty at thc VVhite House in behalf of their cause. Mamie Livingston and Marion Cox were being starred in Ringling's circus as the two tallest women in the world. YVith Nellie Taylor as accompanist, Mamie Miller was meeting success in 'the operatic world, almost rivaling Geraldine Farrar. Nellie Battenfeld, in a gay little Ford, was speeding thru the country trying to persuade mothers to buy the latest and most effective croup medicine, recently patented by Harold Mitze. The latest occupant of the city jail was Eleanor Hoveyq. arrested for speeding on her bi- cycle on the main thoroughfare while practicing for a race to be held at Cedar Valley Fair. Doris Mullarky and Gladys Minkle, both gym boosters, were holding positions as dancing teachers in the VVaterloo schools. h At San Francisco, in a chop suey, of which Fong Lee was manager, Hazelle Riedel and Chester O. Larsen were head waiters. As advertisin manager for Henry Ford, Edward Smith was writinf ads which mut to . u . fa shame the famous Campbell Kids. Viola Stelzer was operating a successful pantatorium at New Benson. Vera Sprague, Myrna Ross and Vera Mettler were professional models at Marshall Field's Department store in Chicago. As she walked along the principal found Robert VVise and Merle Harker working night and day completing the invention of a gun capable of firing a cannon ball half way round the earth. Suddenly a rousing cheer from under her window awakened Miss Hansen from her dream and the adorable Fifty-six were heard to give nine rahs for their principal. A. S.

N xxx ly, f S -1 ' i' fl it C i. ut 1 j EPoCH I As a stately oak springs from a single acorn, so do all things of great im- portance originate from one powerful unit. In September, 1906, A. D., Mar- garet Stephenson, the first member of the Class of '18, began her brilliant career in the posi- tion of student quaestor. As time hastened on the first member of the class became interested in the affairs of the college and secretly determined that the Class of '18 should rise over the heads of all the pre- ceding classes and should attain a supremacy never before equaled and never to be excelled. As her ambition grew she won popularity and power by giving parties and entertainments for the students, bestowing favors and assisting unfortunates with their problems. In the third year of Miss Stephenson's career, she met with two ambitious rivals, Leo J. Friis and Stella Hansen, both bent on the idea of securing the power of the populace. All three worked for popular favor and none progressed to any great extent. Realizing that no power could be gained with each rival pulling in an opposite direction, this trio of indomitable personages formed the First Triumvirate. The main purpose of this agreement was to overthrow the public power and gain individual popularity. EPOCH I1 The next year affairs became calmer and the political strife seemed over. lt was an ideal time for the advance of literature and art. One grannnarian of importance and an excellent writer of Latin, Harold Knickerbocker, came into prominence this year and forth- with became the secretary 'of the Triumvirate in which capacity he has served credibly since his appointment. In the spring of 1910, Leo J. Friis delivered his memorable address le- nouncing the cannibalistic qualities of Redius Woodpecker. A short time later Roger Tut- hill, a young patriciau and supporter of the Triumvirate, died of heart disease. In September fl910j Gladys Evans, Margaret Crisman and Dayton Robinson became offi- cers in the legion to be sent to defeat our ignorant neighbors and their savage allies. There were several battles and a number of colors and other trophies were taken, although manv loyal supporters were missed after the numerous fights with the barbarians. The following year brought with it the scenes of terrible fighting and two experienced soldiers. Erwin Behrens and Ted Fuller. who had seen much former service, joined the class' sturdy ranks. At the end of nine months of war, the victorious class brought about peace terms May 29. 1911, and each member of the five legions secured an equal amount of booty and a card raising many to higher positions and giving each a furlough of three months. Before the three months had passed, it was discovered that the army should be divided in order to defeat the plans of several jealous subjects who did not realire the power of the Class of '18. To assist in putting down their enemies, Helen Rarick, Birss Curtis, Leslie Santee. Marie Rasmussen, Dale Merrill and Jeanette Shearer were enrolled as allies and did good work with both armies as soldiers and guides and although the wars lasted nearly a year, and many men were lost, the class' antagonists were literally wiped out and peace was made Julie 1, 1918, at Cedar Falls, though hostages had to be given who did not secure their release nntil the next year. A short time later the troops were mustered out for the time being. EPOCH III In September f1913j, a call was given by order of the Triumvirate to collect the army,to prepare for the next year's campaign. The peaceful mood of the first few months invited the writers to try their skill. A contest was held in which each member should call forth his best efforts and write an essay against Intemperance. The prize was awarded to Marie Ras- mussen, a centurion in the tenth legion. As time slowly ate away the tedious weeks, two more, Grace McClure and Cleo Mullens, passed the required examinations and joined the invincible army which was now prepared for Forty-one eel and Blaekgi 1? EAW! 'IV l ' .l ' -1 the terrible war of Liberi, there having been several skirmishes which served as preliminary tests in the struggle with this deadly foe, the Liberi. The army having been given orders to move, it secured the invaluable service of Oscar Bock, the daring aviator, who later did wonderful work reconnoitering the movements of the enemy. Bailled at every maneuver, the opposing parties slowly gave in and were compelled to submit to the terms of the peace of 1914. To celebrate this great successful move the class of '18 produced the wonderful drama, entitled Room 83, which was considered equal to any of Sophocles' works. Shortly after, all the foes were granted leaves of absence to rest themselves after the hard year's work. After three months of leisure fseptembel. 1914-J, the legions were brought together again and the training of the veterans and the disciplining of the volunteers began to make ready for the invasion of Hiskill, a region thickly populated by the Bonehead tribes, a semi-civilized people noted for their careless and impolite nature. These tribes are especially cruel to all people who by chance may come in to their domains. When the command was given to advance, the Class of ,18, nothing loath, obeyed with such alacrity as would make the Old Guard of Napoleon green with envy. When within a short distance of the enemies' frontier, the class was met by a formidable looking force of creatures who called themselves Sophomores and who are the most tyrrani- cal of all the people in that country. Indeed, they were a terrorizing sight as the approached, whooping and screaming in the attack upon the sturdy ranks of the invading army. The fight was sharp and short, the Sophomoreis ill-disciplined troops succumbing before the heavy blows of the well trained troops of the Class of '18, Much was learned this year of the customs of the people of this region and it is interesting to note the striking similarity between the conquerors and the natives of this country. In the early fall of 1915, a great argument arose wherein the Class of '18 was drawn into a conflict with the Senior nation, which was an alliance with a small countrv known to most historians as Freshman,,' on account of a pale green hue which overspread the features of this country's inhabitants. To cope with these two states, the Class secured the services of Marguerite Christensen, George Wartmann, and Thomas VVaugh and about thirty Junior warriors, famous for their brave and daring nature. Seeing the Class so reinforced by some of their own countrymen, the enemy lost courage and only a few minor battles resulted, arbitration taking the place of costly warfare. As all prospects of war were oven. the Junior soldiers were all honorably discharged, altho-ugh Oral Davis remained, having secured a good position in the fourth legion. Although peace was formally recognized, skirmishes were fought at frequent intervals with wandering guerilla bands and scores of the best soldiers were lost or sent back, as their health became so impaired that it was impossible for them to go on. Margaret Crisman and Jeanette Shearer of the Class, two orators of great ability, won much praise from their appreciative listeners at several recitals and were awarded the cham- pionship in the oratorical and humorous classes. Tasks became less difficult with spring and everyone, looked forward with eagerness to the next summer, which meant the annual rest of three months. This furlough came and went with its characteristic brevity and the long year of toil again began its monotonous grind. Oscar Jones, Catherine Bolton, George Willard, Clifford Ahrens and Mary Rundles took their places to fill up the ranks of those whose enlistments had expired or who had been sent with the auxiliaries. Preparations are now being made for the great battle with the Class' old enemy, the Seniors, and at its execution this future struggle will. undoubtedly, be put down in the books of fame as the sixteenth decisive battle of the world.

For three 4 l . ' weary months thev were tossed about on the rough seas until, on September 4th, f' they sighted the shore of the Promised Land. All parts were settled except a Q small island named Greenland and here they took up their abode under the se- i if N5 Xl N 515. Am cial? vere rule of the famous Queen, Miss Funk. During the first winter these bold explorers suffered many hardships and op- pressions at the hands of their haughty neighbors. In the spring hope was received and the adventurers entered into a story contest for the Red and Black, in which Merle Poland carried off first prize and Josephine Jennings the second. They were further honored by one of their members, Edward Martin, becoming a member of the annual staff. To celebrate the founding of their colonies, the Juniors, a neighboring tribe, gave a ban- quet to the Seniors, at which a number of this new colony Qotherwise known as Freshiesj served. During the next three months the adventurers waged war on the weakest of the other three colonies and having conquered, their name was changed to Sophomores. The victors now reorganized their government into a republic, with the President, Leo Jamersong Vice President, Josephine Jennings, Secretary and Treasurer, Earl Wolfe. Also an advisory body consisting of Miss Willer and Mrs. Kingman. To defray the expenses of the war, the Sophomores presented their first play, The Likely Story, which was a great success. Two of their members, Lucile Knickerbocker and Gaylord Gasal. who carried off second place in the oratorical, represented the class in a Declamatory Contest held at the court of the first Queen. It had been decreed by the High Powers of this Land of Education, that there should be an annual publication known as the Cedar Falls High School Annual, which should give the social and political affairs of the country. In this the Sophomores were represented by Merle Poland and Petra Peterson. Not long ago this colony, by consent of the sovereign, held high revelry in the form of a St. Valentine party in the palace of Her Royal Highness. This colony is still flourishing and is confident of conquering in the coming conquest, The Land of the Juniors. J. J. '19 M. P. '19 ' fp. X . virf p y N wb. f f ,f f ' f, Fo rty-seven .I r L' . ..

It was a day of rejoicing, not alone for them, but for their parents, who felt that there had been unusually faithful work on the part of the eighth grade teachers, Mr. Lindsley Holmes -Y - -' fi and his assistant, Miss Genevieve Griffith, in preparing this class for graduation. To give expression to this feeling, on Friday, May 28, all the parents were invited to partici- pate in a surprise visit to the school. The weather man put a slight damper on the occasion by bringing forth his most moist variety of weather. It not only rained-it poured, but in spite of that fact. a large majority of the parents trooped gaily through the rain and assem- bled in the sewing room with well filled baskets. They exercised great self-control to avoid embarrassing the teachers by appearing before they had made their farewell speeches and were not witness to their surprise when the pupils presented them with gifts, teaspoons for Miss Griffith and military brushes for Mr. Holmes. Immediately after, all crowded gaily in among the astonished eighth graders and spent a most enjoyable social hour. A number of real live fathers were among the visitors, one of whom, Mr. I.eClair Martin, expressed their thanks to the teachers for the interest they had taken in each individual member of the class. Mr. Leavitt gave some vivid reminiscences of his own school days, while Mr. Jetmore sang a classicalfftj solo, greatly appreciated by his audience. Then the mothers took command and all present were bountifully served with cake and ice cream. As the company lingered enjoying themselves, many of them expressed the wish that they might join together and cooperate to further the interests of this remarkably fine class. The idea met with instant approval and on motion of Mrs. J. W. Knickerbocker, an organization was formed to promote closer cooperation between the parents and the school authorities, and a more intelligent interest on the part of both fathers and mothers to wisely supervise and participate in the social life of the class. The following officers were duly elected: President ..... . . . Mrs. I. D. Corning Vice President ....... Mr. LeClair Martin Secretary and Treasurer . . Mrs. J. W. Knickerbocker The first meeting of the fall was designed to bring together the parents and the new superintendent, Mr. Speer, and the corps of high school teachers, and proved a most enjoyable occasion. After a social hour, a bountiful supper was served. The teachers were invited to join the organization and an executive committee of tw-5 teachers and three parents were aded to the list of officers. Four meetings a year were de- cided upon. The third meeting consisted in the participation in the movement to organire the rest of the High School into a Parent-Teachers' Association, atliliated with all the grade organizations in that line of work. At the meeting on January 29th, this was effected. The fourth meeting was a joint one of pupils, parents and teachers. The pupils were asked to give a short program for the parents. after which they departed to the gymnasium, while the parents listened to an interesting report of Mr. Speer's visit to the Gary schools. At the close they joined the class in the gym for a social hour and refreshments. September of 1916, the class organization participated in the general meeting of the Parent-Teachers' Association of the High School. After the general meeting an election was held, resulting as follows: President ..... . Mrs. C. J. Mentzer Vice President ........ Wilbur Hostrup Secretary and Treasurer .... Eva Mae Willer In January, 1917, the parents treated the class to a most enjoyable sleighride party. Starting at 6:30 they proceeded to the hospitable home of one of their number. Leo Dunbar, four miles northeast of town, where they enjoyed refreshments and games. The homeward ride was spent in practice of soul-stirringf?j music, led by Misses Willer, Brammer and Mil- ler. The parents accompanying reported a fine time. Such is the brief history of the founding of the Parent-Teachers' Association of the eighth grade class of 1915. May it continue to flourish until June, 1919.

FERNER Nun Fifty-four' N '20 1 :- f o 61 61 B1 le '1' an ki, a G The Discovery of Liberty Cave Cree-cree-cree- Tom Brady was startled from a profound sleep by this shrill screech. Wake up, Tom, you good for nothing sleepy headg here it is twenty of nine and you not out of bed yet. Don't you remember that hike at nine o'clock to-day? We're going up the river and explore. Hello, Little One, fa luxurious stretchj what-fyawnj-what's the matter? There was no response so far as voice was concerned, but Tom soon found him- self, none too gently seated on the floor, all the covers off and an alarm clock before his face. Fifteen of nine, it read. That was enough. He was fully awake now, aching with a good reminder of the hike at nine o'clock. He dressed in live minutes, ate breakfast in four, put up a good lunch and joined the bunch at eight fifty-nine. Hello, Tom ! Hey, Little One, hurry up. Let's go. These and many other greetings met them as they rushed into the room where they were to gather. Tom Brady, a tall, strong, black-haired boy of thirteen, immediately set to work packing up his tent, while Charles Little, dubbed Little One, a pug-nosed, short, but active scout, hurried with the same business. The rest of the Eagle Patrol was composed of six boys with the same good spirit and activeness, as we shall shortly see, and last, but by no means least, Mr. Simpson, otherwise, Simp., the Scout Master, and best scout of all. As soon as Tom, Little One and the rest were ready, off they went, off into one of the most amazing of adventures. They had gone about five miles when for the second time that morning an eagle cried. Cree-cree-cree I i What is it, Tom? asked Simp. Let's scout pace, answered Tom, for it was he who had called them. Scout pace is to run fifty steps and walk fifty steps and so on. Tom was to lead and keep count. All went well for about twenty-five steps, then Tom came to an abrupt stop, making each runner tramp into the person in front. Well, what the dickens did you stop for? That's what I say, Skinny came down on my heel like a ton of brick. What's the trouble? Again Simp. came to the head of affairs. YVell, something's radically wrong and the trouble's with the earth, exploded Tom. With the earth, what do you mean? It was a regular chorus of voices. VVell, just this. When we all came down together it makes the funniest hollow 'an an sound Let's find out what's the matter, I noticed the same thing, said Simp. Ya! Come on, here's our chance for exploration. This- from Little One. Simp, because he was the boy's elder and leader, now took hold of things and began planning what to do. First he decided to descend the cliff, but this was en- tirely impractical, but on the way up he noticed a curious depression in the ground Fifty-fire film d. an 61 gfilaek, '1 and he decided to investigate this. No sooner thought of than acted upon. They hiked back to the place and started their adventure. First Simp. sent some boys down into the hollow and told them to stamp on the ground to see if it was safe. This done, he sent the whole Patrol down and for further safety commanded them to all jump at a given order. Jump ll' The word came from the center of the group. Up in the air they went and then down, but they didn't stop going. Down, down, down! It was like a pile of helpless bricks falling from a high platform. Plunk! Bang! It was seemingly ages before they hit the bottom and it felt as if they had gone through miles of space, consequently the first question asked was: Anybody hurt? Most were too dazed to answer, but it was soon found that no one was hurtg moreover, that the space they had fallen was about twelve feet and that they had landed in a large and most wonderful cave. How are we going to get out? asked a shaky voice. This question could be read on all the boys' faces. It was hard to face this sit- uation, as it would be for any common boy, and the fear expressed on some faces was pitiful. Let's think, suggested Simp. As a result of this comment they decided to explore the cave. So, linking hand in hand they proceeded into the darkness of the room. After going for a block or so, the depression which hitherto had been like a long room, with huge dimensions, narrowed into a mere passage and made progress very difficult. This passage con- tinued for about a half a block, then began a gradual ascent. Up to this time all had been deadly silent, but now Little One broke the stillness with the cheerful remark: Going toward heaven, now it seemsf, Well, if that's where we're going, what was the place where we landed? re- marked Tom. These two little pieces of humor brought back again the spirit of the crowd and they were soon chatting gaily. Puns', were flying toward one another, when sud- denly all were startled by an eagle's shrilling Cree-cree-cree I The last cry died away as Tom leaped up the steps. at the end of the passage, pushed his way through leaves and twigs into free air. Liberty was gained and the largest and most wonderful cave in America was thereby christened Liberty Cave. G. B.

Yours sincerely, BRUCE FRANCIS Tnoor A, D. C. N. G., CAMP WViLsoN, TEXAS To the Alumni Editor Red and Blavkv: The associations of High School days, when pleasant, engender more lasting and intimate attachments than those subsequently formed. for the mind and heart of a High School student are in a supremely impressionable state. The passing of time does not destroy or diminish the affection an alumnus of an eflicient High School bears for his school, nor does it obliterate a realization and appreciation of the bene- fits there obtained or the pleasant reminiscences of High School days. And this is true. notwithstanding the alumnus is attending some college or university or has graduated and formed associations of a different character. It is gratifying to be an alumnus of Cedar Falls High School with its well- deserved good standing, and to be privileged, as such, to extend greetings. through the Red and Black to the present students and faculty, and to congratulate them upon their connection with such a meritorious educational institution. Sincerely, HAROLD I.. BROWVN, '11 DENVER, Co1.oRAno It is now a good many years since the class of '89, of which I was a member, fin- ished but to begin. That was the thought of our class motto, and as the years have come and gone, I have realized more and more its truth. As I look back upon the three years I spent in the Cedar Falls High School, the course then was only three years in length. I recall with the greatest pleasure the work and the friendships of those years. and I have always been so glad for the dis- cipline which came as I learned then what it really meant to do hard. mental work. I send my heartiest congratulations to the class of 1917. I shall indeed be glad to hear of the success of each and everyone of its members as they go out into the wide, wide world. NIARY L. TowNsl-:ND, '89 CEDAR FALLS, IowA Greetings from the Class of 1915: As we look back over the space of two short years we realize that no place is so dear to our hearts as Cedar Falls High School and the days we spent there. And scattered though we are, our interest and our love for our alma mater grows stronger with each fleeting year, and we hope that she will remain as ever the best high school in Northeastern Iowa. Yours truly, E JOHN R. BRowN, '15 Si.fl,v-twn if ' a 61131 aus ELMwooD, NEBRASKA I am requested to send a message to the 1917 Annual. It is one of the privileges of the very aged to ureminisce,-and if it has been nineteen years Qgracious sakes, has it?j since the old class of '98, thirty-three in number, walked out upon an innocent and unsuspecting world, we must by this time be allowed that prerogative. Why do all the foolish things and the funny things stand out in one's memory? lVhy do we forget how to do the simplest geometry problem and remember who stole the clapper to the bell? VVhy do we forget what caused the War of Roses and re- member the night the cooking club declared war on every masculine creature in school? I half suspect there isn't a staid business man nor a sober married woman from the class of '98 who forgets one incident nineteen years ago. It was in the old Cen- tral Building, on a warm, sleepy spring afternoon. The Seniors were reading Ham- let from recitation seats in front of the Assembly room. Miss Norton had the part of the ghost, a certain girl the part of Hamlet. The Juniors lolled in various com- fortable attitudes in the rear of the room. Ed Townsend was chewing grass con- tentedly, Will Cowan was frankly asleep, Julius Seltenrich was crawling about under his seat searching indifferently for the pencil that had dropped from his weak grasp. Miss Norton stopped her reading, called the Juniors out of their anaesthetized con- dition and proceeded to deliver to them one of her concise lectures that for brevity, energy and irony was never excelled. CShe had a bad habit of being very energetic herself.j After the tirade, when the Juniors had been brought out of their dreamy state and you could have heard a pin drop, she nodded to the girl to proceed with Hamlet. The girl, who had a sense of humor, read her part in a loud tone of voice: Well said, you old mole. And when everyone howled, Miss Norton's laugh was heartiest of all. VVe give greetings to the class of '17 with the wish that when it is nineteen years old, its memory of all that was best in High School will be as clear, its recollection of all that was unworthy will be as hazy, as that which comes to-day to the class of 1898. BEss STREETER ALDRICH, '98 Just a few words of welcome from the Class of 1902. Although we have been at large now for fifteen years, nevertheless the memories of the happy days spent to- gether within the walls of our first Alma Mater remain just as fresh and clear in our minds as though it were but yesterday that we were thronging the halls of good old C. F. H. S. We are glad that we are in our several stations in life and that our places have been taken by the succeeding classes, but never shall we forget our High School and what it has done for us. All hail to Cedar Falls High School and its memories! CLARENCE M. PARKER, '02 CANTON, Sourrx DAKOTA Dear People of Cedar Falls High School: From far off Dakota I am glad to send greetings and best wishes to the best High School people I have ever known-those of Cedar Falls High School. Yours most sincerely, LILLY ROBINSON, '03 To the Class of 1917, Greetings: As you leave the doors of the High School to enter upon the varied duties which await you, we The Class of 19O41, bid you welcome to the ranks of the Alumni.

Do tell us what it is, cried Beth, always ready for everything. She and Rose, the other sister, were preparing nuts for the fudge they intended to make that afternoon. It is just this, grandma has gone to chat with Mrs. Higgins this afternoon. Now is our chance to read those love letters of her's that she spoke of this morning. Why Kate Armstrongfl how dare you suggest such an act? was timid Rose's surprised exclamation. But we donit know where to find them, complained Beth, as she slyly slipped a juicy nut meat into her mouth. Oh, that will be easy. You know she keeps all her treasures in that dear little wooden chest. Do you suppose grandma would care P asked Rose. Grandma won't know anything about it, so how can she care? Well, come on then, if we want to read them all before she returns. So the dishes were left, the fudge forgotten and with quick, eager steps they hurried up the broad, old-fashioned stairs and sheepishly entered Grandma's big. cozy room. How comfortable and inviting the room was! Dainty, white muslin curtains played in the breeze, the beautiful red geranium blossomed on the window sill, a cheery fire burned in the grate, and Tabby snoozed peacefully on the hearth. The girls did not heed these pretty attractions as they hurriedly tugged the little old wooden chest from its nook in the chimney corner. Such dear old relics as that chest contained! But the girls were interested only in that yellow packet of letters. Eagerly they read them, laughing now and then at some quaint saying or a ridiculous idea. Suddenly Beth looked up and said: This letter is not a love letter. Why, it is an invitation to a masquerade dance. Why do you suppose Grandma kept this P Would you truly like to know? came a low, sweet voice from the doorway. The girls gave startled jumps and looking up, beheld their Grandmother smiling down on them. Oh, Grandma, I-we-er, why I-or that is, we-we just thought, or I mean we just wished to,-to read your love letters, stammered Kate, with flushing face. So I see, dears, replied Grandma. We're awfully ashamed, truly we are. You see, we, well to tell the truth, we didn't expect you back so soon, apologizingly said Beth. No, nor did I, but Mrs. Higgins was not at home, so I returned, explained Grandma. Aren't you angry at your wicked grandchildren P No, dears, not at all. I suppose it was just a wild desire to read your grand- mother's love letters. But is all right, as I intended to let you read them some day. anyway. We just came across an invitation to a dance. Why did you keep it? There is a story that goes with that. Would you like to hear it? asked Grandma. Yes, yes, yes ! replied the girls. . Sixty-eight 53 L. A f 2 wt - 6 5 QGIGUGISIQJIGIGIQ '17 Grandmother settled down in her rocker, wiped her spectacles, placed them on her finely shaped nose, called the cat to her, cuddled him on her lap and then began. Well, it's just like this. In early days, a dance was about the only entertain- ment young people enjoyed. The season I received that invitation, there hadn't been much doing, so we were all mighty well surprised and tickled when the invitation came for a masquerade dance at Jackson's. Of course I was on nettles what to wear, but my aunt fixed that all right. Said she, 'You can wear my wedding dress and my pearl necklace and I'll warrant tllat you'll make a fine looking queen.' VVhen the evening for the dance came, my aunt was as eager as I. She combed my hair high on my head and helped me dress. I did look pretty, even if I do say it myself. Here a mist covered her clear, brown eyes and the girls were silent, for they knew grandma was thinking' deeply of the precious days of the past. Finally she roused, patted her silver curls and went on. VVell, when I arrived at the dance, what do you suppose was there? A king! Of course the queen was expected to dance with the king. I danced almost every turn with him. He could certainly dance the Virginia Reel to a I'.' It perplexed me all evening who this king could be. I was sure he was not any of our neighbors, because he was too tall for Sam Jones and too short for Tom Brown. When the time came to unmask, I saw. just as I had thought, that I had been danc- ing with a stranger. Mrs. Jackson came forward and introduced him as her cousin from Boston. Oh, I never will forget that evening. And didn't you ever see him again P inquired Kate. Yes, many times, child. I remember well how that very same winter he took me to a husking bee and- But where is he now? asked Beth anxiously. In the doorway this very moment, replied Grandma, smilingly. The girls quickly looked and saw,-no, not a stranger, but Grandpa. I. E. '20 ek'i -.C. ,, ,,,., P-a g .5 5 v S E E 3 , 1 K 1 hh . , X X.. -- I Sixty-nine 61 61131 14. '1f an aaa' Timis Vacation SECOND PRIZE STORY S far as size g0es,'Tim wasn't much of a boy, for he stood four feet high, '1si,A'iX 11 and he had a thin, peaked face. He wasn't much of a boy as far as V QMI N looks go, 6ltllCl'Q for he wore a rusty, old black coat, a grimy shirt, several m y SIZES too largeg and a pair of old corduroy pants, badly worn at the 'f -J'-fl knees. His feet were encased in a pair of ragged tennis shoes, and 011 the back of his red hair was a dingy, old straw hat with part of the brim missing. This combination was a funny picture to behold, but to those who looked closer, the little thin face under the old straw hat and the long, thin arms and hands, which emerged from his ragged coat sleeves, was more of a piteous scene. Tim was the elevator boy in the Evening Post oH'ice and there was not anyone in the establishment who did not know and like the little fellow, who took an active interest in all that was going on. Occasionally, some -men would jest the boy about his appearance. It's a shame, Tim, said Tom Burns, that a man, holding the position you do, should go about in such clothes as that. It's a disgrace to the office. VVhy don't you take your money and slick up P To all such remarks, Tim listened calmly until the conclusion, then, turning upon his tormentor, he would reply smartly: Look here, if you take me for a dude, yer mistakinf' I think Tim's got a girl, and spends his money on her,', chimed in Dick Johnson. 'iGirls Y was the disgusted response of Tim, I don't cut no ice wid girls. Then little Tim would disappear down the hallway to answer the call of the ele- vator bell, leaving the room in a roar of laughter. One evening, about six months later, Tim received a letter. He yelled to a gen- tleman: Say, Bill, look at this. He addressed all the men of the firm by their first name and thought it did no harm. Tim gave him the letter. Read it! said Tim, proudly. UMR. TIMOTHY 0,BRIEN Dear Sir: Having been an active helper to the firm, I now assign you a vacation beginning March 11. VVishing you a most enjoyable time. Very respectfully yours, LEON H. HOPPER, Managerv What der yer think of that? asked Tim. Why, I think it's great, said Bill, handing back the precious document. A frown gathered on Tim's brow and he said: Say, Bill, what der yer do wid a vacation, anyway? Haven't you ever had a vacation, Tim? asked Bill. Nixic, he replied. Yer see, I've had to work steady, but once'n awhile I went to de park for de afternoon, do yer call that a vacation ? No, replied Bill, that wasn't much of a vacation, Tim. A real vacation is where you go out of the city. Can you go to the mountains Fi' asked Tim. The mountains is awful high, ain't dey? Do they have elevators there? Maybe I could get a job. Bill, having been brought up on a farm, told him of all the joys of the country, while Tim tried to grasp all the ideas. VVhen Bill finished his story, he asked Tim if he would like to share part of his vacation. Will I go? cried Tim, jumping up in happiness, you bet I'll go, but- He paused and a troubled look settled on his face. But what, TimP,' asked Bill.

On learning that every man of the office received pay, his face brightened. Then he rushed off to answer an elevator call. That night about twelve o'eloek there was a call at Burns' phone. He told him there was a double murder and Burns was to eall Tim to help. Tim, upon learning that he should have a hand in landing a double murder. was dancing with delight. An hour later.

Tim handed Burton a paper and said. It,s the murder story. Yer see. something on the elevator broke and I eouldn't stop her.

As Harry looked out of the window he was glad he was alive, glad for everything, in fact-but j 'Y especially glad because to-night at six o'clock he was to entertain a few choseri friends. Harry was past sixteen-just at that age when little things work miracles! The thought of presiding as host at a formal dinner party transported him to a seventh heaven. All invitations had been accepted and, joy upon joys! I.a Rue was coming! Thanksgiving eve he had attended the dance given by the high school frats and while there, met Miss La Rue, and as he beheld this bewitching bit of femininity, arrayed charmingly in a cloud of pink chiffon, his breath came spasmodically and his eyes beheld the whole scene thru a pink mist-from this moment he became her de- voted slave. Harry spent the forenoon in nervous anticipation. He whiled away the time tinkering with his old dilapidated bicycle, oiling its numerous parts until it almost ran. Luncheon time came. He ate mechanically, with his eyes upon the clock- - would the time never pass? He feared not. At two o'clock his mother sent him to the green house after the flowers and when he returned, he helped his mother set the table. Now Harry, said his mother, it's four o'clock and time for you to start get- ting ready. Aw, there's plenty of time, he objected, but nevertheless soon went up to his room. After a cold plunge, he donned his bath robe and absent-mindedly began read- ing Stover at Yale. The mere fact that the volume was upside down did not lessen his interest. Of a sudden he felt a poetical inspiration and dropping into his easiest rocking chair, he seized pad and pencil and began scribbling hastily his first love sonnet, To Fair La Rue. La Rue, La Rue, I love but you. Your eyes like skies above are blue, Your curly hair is flaxen, too, If' you won't love me, what shall I do? La Rue, La Rue, I love you true. Your golden thoughts are- fpondersj few? No, that wouldn't do. Hew,,' pew, rue -what in time should he use? Picking up a dictionary he searched for the escaping word, utterly heedless of time. Harkl what was that he heard? Surely not voices in the drawing room bc- low. His fears were soon confirmed, as his sister, Marjorie's shrill little voice called, Harrie! Harrie! Mamma wants to know whatever is the matter, and why you don't come down. And why don't you, Harrie? We are having the nicest time l G'way, g'way! her brother's gruff voice answered, as he hastily grabbed his clothes and began to dress. Did I say all of his clothes? If I did, it was a mistake, for he couldn't find some of them. By this time the guests had all arrived and he heard their faint chattering and laughing as they proceeded to the dining room. Again, he heard his sister's excited voice outside the door. Mamma wants to know what is the matter with you and whatever are you doing now?', You tell l1er he shouted sarcastically, tell her I'm playin' checkers! VVhat's she think I'm doin Hastily trying to put on his collar button, it escaped his grasp and flew into one 7 1 Pu Se:'c'11fy-Iwo C261 'inc-rt Black, '17 of thosc inystcrious placcs which only collar huttons can find.

HE Young VVomen's Christian Association has had a wonderfully good year because it had such a good start. About eighteen of the last year's members kept the spirit of the Association alive during the summer by holding candy and ice cream sales and meetings at irregular intervals. It was decided to send the president-elect to Geneva, lviseonsin, to the summer conference there. Consequently the Association has risen in strength thru the principles of organization and outline of work suggested by that conference. Thru the kindness of Mr. Speer, the girls were able to obtain the northwest room, just oft' the auditorium, for their headquarters. They made curtains to hang at the windows and borrowed pennants and pictures to decorate the walls, so the home is real cozy. The majority of the regular meetings, cabinet meetings, and committee meetings are held there. This year the Association has had splendid help and inspiration from the college through both Miss Mefague and Miss Aspen. lt gives the girls someone to go to for advice and approval, and a greater desire to make more of the Association because of their influence. The program has been varied and very well attended during the whole season. Besides the meetings led by the individual girls, there have been six outside speakers. including lfrs. Dubbert and Mrs. Snider, Miss Larkin. the High School Girls' See- retary of YVaterloo. Miss Mcfague. Mrs. Mitchell, and Miss Ruth Paxton, the Y. VV. C. A. missionary in China. Also the special Bible Study meetings have been led by Mrs. Poland. Mrs. Turnipseed and Mrs. Taylor. 5f 1't'11fj'-XL'f'1'11 lf?w-im ,az Q Q 61 an at ,Elm '17 One special feature designed to bring in the girls of the different classes and their attitude towards High School life in all its phases, has been the Class Meet- ing. Twelve Freshmen girls conducted the first of these meetings. each giving a brief talk on their surprises and disappointments in the High School. Then each class had its place in the program of the year. Our social life has been a splendid success, due to the hearty enthusiasm of every member. One of the marked achievements of the year was the observance of Fellowship weekf, Though the number of girls who gave up twenty minutes of each morning for a week was few, the sincerity and interest was notable. VVorking as the girls are to make the Association one of the best, they decided to send the President for 1917-,18 to Cedar Rapids to the winter conference to con- sult with Miss Butler and Miss Helmer about the plans and accomplishments. It was decided there that the Association would become affiliated with the National or- ganization. So. while the girls are a small unit in themselves. they feel that they have a part in the national work of the Y. VV. C. A. The motto is: Live pure. speak true, honor God, right wrong Y. W. C. Entertain The Y. YV. V. A. delightfully entertained the Y. KI. C. A. on the evening of February eighth. lt was called a Backward, Turn Backward party. and the guests were requested to come dressed backward. The backward idea was carried out throughout the entire evening. the company going backward down the stairs to the lower corridor where a sumptuous six oielock dinner was served. The guests were seated back to b:1ck and each one performed an original backward stunt. Later they adjourned to the auditorium, where they were entertained by an excellent program of music and readings. which was closed by a speech of welcome by the members of the Y. YV. Fabinet. The evening was a most enjoyable one for all. and much credit is due to the members of the Cabinet for the evening's entertainment. ....... ... .--.. sw .

' 2 I , Thru the work of the club, Ruth Reiher has learned that it pays to study busi- ness and talk business. She now has a business man under her supervision, taking lessons in how to read human nature by night and apply it next day in salesmanship. She says it works. Her success and ingenuity are apparent. She has plenty of self- confidence and seldom applies to others for new methods. Shorty Andrews has learned that silence is Bliss, and he practices it to per- fection. Ted Fuller has gone on record as saying that it pays to be original. He is al- ways there with his extemporaneous funism and always goes the shortest way home. George Scoggin says the old way is good enough for him and that what grand- father tried and found successful, he is willing to try until it fails. George always takes issue with Ted on this matter and goes the longest way around to get home. Arensa has learned that in first class society the ladies should have the last word. ' The club is still young. It has just been looking the field of activity over. VVhat it has accomplished does not make such a list as what it expects to accom- plish. The members are all alert and have been probing and trying to determine just what to do first. They have found lots to do and that which they have done was considered the most urgent. VVhat we have found to do and hope to do is laid before you in the next few lines. We are placing our program before the scrutinizing eyes of the public because we realize that under pressure of public opinion we will always feel a deeper responsibility and consequently will consider seriously and work ar- dently to reach our goal. VVhat the club hopes to do next year: lt hopes to prove to Arcnsa that little children should be seen and not heard. lt means to show Leo Smith that unless one expects to use his business training there is no use in working so hard to get one. It means to appoint a special commit-- tee of expert brain specialists and have this committee study the eHect any and all hair tonics have on the brain and report whether or not such treatments of the scalp have a tendency to over-excite the gray matter to a state of abnormal inaction. Leo will be asked to act as chairman of committee. It hopes to show to Vera that little girls should get home from the parties at least by eleven o'clock and put the remainder of the evening on their studies. It hopes to influence the cats committee so they will be more economical and not spend all the club's money on Danish knicknacks when prices are so high. It is going to exert every influence to get Leo Friis out for football next fall. lVc think he can keep up in three subjects and play. The club has placed the order for his suit this year, to take advantage of the rising prices. Eighty-H1 rec :gl 5 9 A M U ..

VVe think, in these exciting times of so many sea disasters caused by German submarines, that Alvin would qualify as a ship captain. He would surely be brave enough to be the last man off the boat, anyway. Leo Dunbar says that inasmuch as the state has gone dry, he is willing to be- become a teetotalcr. Maybe this will bleach out his abused nose. If it docsn't, the club hopes to send him a gold cure. The club realizes the advisability of keeping in touch with its graduates. VVe want to get Edith See to take a course in Business English, so she will be qualified to fill the office that will be created next fall under the name of Corresponding Sec- retary. VVe know that Merle Harker would like to hear from the club occasionally. Let anybody ask Miss Miller how she made eyes, and she would, without blush-- ing or smiling, show you the Gregg character for eyes, but we all know that for special students she uses a different system. We hope to get the Gregg univer- sally adopted in Cedar Falls-and VVaterloo-next year so Miss Miller will attend our parties. VVe want in some way to get Mr. Hill to stop spelling the words in spelling class before he pronounces them to the class. It's good for marks, but sounds bad. We are open to suggestion. Who will help us? VVe want to teach Joe Turner how to Pinch,' his money more. He spends it too freelv. VVe mean to show and convince our members that Blessed is the man who has nothing to say, and no one can make him say it. It is our intention at the present time to show Marcella Burke that it is the cracker she is eating that counts and not who feeds it to her. This will console Dwight, but may bring a storm of protest from Ted. This is our program for next year. We want to complete it just as soon as pos- sible, because we know that while we are busily engaged on these problems, others of just as great magnitude and significance will be developing and presenting them- selves for our consideration. YVatch us-we may not do it all as you would do it, but we are sincere and mean to do our best. If you have any suggestions, hand them to Curly Sheerer. We want to get him to talk.

IT was with a great deal of pleasure that the class of 1916 received per- 'H mission from J. Hartley Manners to present, for their Commencement Play, his Jew and Gentile Comedy, The House Next Door. Although ,M the play aims merely to entertain, it incidentally inculcates amnity and mutual understanding by laughing away the prejudices of the Gentile for the Jew, his neighbor, and showing how these prejudices are improbable in the pres- ence of the virtues of the latter. The story is as follows: xi ,lj I ' i There are two houses side by side. In the one lives a Christian family and in the other, a Jewish family. The Christian, Sir Jolm Cotswold, is an old, broken- down baronetg he is poor, old-fashioned, reactionary, altogether untouched by the modern spirit, unyieldingly proud and with a fanatical hatred of the Jews. In par- ticular, he hates the Jew in the house next door, who owns an estate once his, with whom he is now a tenant and to whom he pays rent sometimes, for he has not the wherewithal to pay it regularly. The man in the house next door represents everything that is the opposite of the Jew-hating baronet. He represents genius, thrift, achievement, modernity, liberality, gentleness, and yet the Jew is modest, generous, and philanthropic. Sir Isaac Jacob- son, the Jew, secretly assists the G-entile's son in getting a musical education, and he is now a great singer. The son and daughter of the Jew are in love with the daughter and son of the Gentile. Only the fathers stand in the way. The Jew is willing and ready to sacrifice his feeling for the happiness of his children, but the Gentile is enraged beyond all bounds, because a tactlessness is committed by Lady Jacobson in enclosing a hundred-pound note to the singer, thus treating a nobleman as a tradesman. At last Sir John learns all that Sir Isaac has done for his son. He is left alone musing. The children have gone to the house next door. His wife, also, has gone to the house next door, he is left to himself. He has just dismissed Sir Isaac with a positive refusal to become reconciled. As he thus muses, a question arises in his mind: Have I been wronging the Jews? Have I been wronging Sir Isaac? He decides that he has been the victim of a raging, blinding hate and he says he, too, will go to the house next door. The characters of the Gentile and Jew, as presented by Harold Christiansen and Roy Hauser, were splendidly portrayed. These were supported by an all-round cast, each member doing his or her part to present the real play. THE CHARACTERS IN THE COMEDY Gr:N'r1x.i-:s Sir John Cotswold. haronet ....................,....

The scene is laid in '1 beautiful drawing room in the home of Mrs. Somers, a rich young widow of New York. As the curtain rises, she is arguing with her fiance, Mr. Campbell, about a speech he had made before the legis- lative body, saying that women have no moral courage. She was trying to make him believe that women have moral courage by relating to him several incidents in which women had distinguished themselves by bravery. To stop the dispute, he tells her that there is a mouse in the room. At this she jumps on a chair with a scream. The French maid then brings in the cards of several ladies who are calling on Mrs. Somers. but on seeing her mistress on a chair, she also climbs on the nearest seat. Gn hearing this commotion, the callers rush in and upon learning that there is a mouse in the room. they hurriedly seek a higher elevation. Finally they escape, after many amusing incidents. After their departure, Mr. Campbell tries to convince Mrs. Somers that there is no mouse in the room, saying that he merely used it as an experiment to test the moral courage of women. After trying in vain to persuade her to descend from the chair. he is finally forced to carry her from the room. The cast is as follows: Mrs. Somers. a rich young widow ..,,..,.. .,.,....,....

The re- ceipts went as payment for the new book cases for the school library. The action of A Likelv Story takes place in the breakfast room of Mr. Camp- bell's summer residence. The plot is based upon a letter written by a young lover. Arthur VVelling, to Miss Greenway. with whom he is secretly engaged. WVelling. by mistake. addressed the letter to Mrs. Campbell, wife of a young lawyer, Mr. lVillis Campbell. This was the beginning of some very interesting action upon his part, which resulted in the discovery of the engagement and many congratulations for the happy pair.

Shirley Rossmore, who has just returned from a trip in Europe and the Orient, having learned the source of her father's disgrace, determines to help him through Jefferson Ryder, son of the great financial king, whom she loves. Her famous book, The Great American Octopus, which in reality was a story of the great financier's life, gained her an entrance into Jefferson Ryder's New York home under the non-de- plume, Miss Green. Her extended visit there gave her a chance to recover the much coveted papers which would clear her father's good name. Shirley, having frequently broached the subject of Judge Rossmore's disgrace and impending trial, drew Mr. Ryder into a heated discussion and showed to him his true character Clove for money above all elsej. This led to Shirley's disclosing her identity to him and the making of immediate plans for leaving their home for Washington, where she would personally plead her father's cause. During the night, John Burkett Ryder's iron will weakens and he makes reparation to Judge Rossmore and thereby paves the way to Jeff's and Shirley's happiness.

'J V, The program opened with music hy the High School orchestra and ' ' after the applause of this had died away, the audience waited in suspense for the first speaker in the oratorieal division to appear. This was Allen Bailey with Abraham Lincoln as his subject. This was followed by The Call to Arms by Gaylord Gasal. Margaret Crisman was next with A Plea for Cuba, and Alta Santee finished the oratory with the subject, The New South. Following this thc High School Girls' Trio sang the Slumber Boat. The Dramatic section consisted of The Lost NVord hy Esther Carter. The Night Run of the Overland by Eva Pinch. and For Love of a Man hy Thomas lVaugh.

Then came Eliph Hewlett, Castawayf, hy Lueile Knickerbocker. Jeanette Sheerer in the Fall of Georgie Bassett. and the Pc-ttison Twins at Kindergarten, hy Helen Ford.

The representatives from Cedar Falls were Margaret Crisman. who presented A Plea for Cuba. Eva Pinch. The Night Run of the Overland. and Jeanette Sheerer with Pt-nrod's Affliction. Each of these speakers rendered their selections in an excellent and pleasing manner. The contestants from hoth lVaterloos also gave very good selections. making the eoinpetition very keen. The large audience was very attentive and all seemed well pleased with the con- test as well as with the musical numhers given hy each of' the three schools. Because of the close competition. it was rather hard for the judges to award the plaees. hut the final decision gave Donna Voorhees of Fast High first in the oratori- eal. and Margaret Crisman of Cedar Falls. second.

The girls looked forward with no small degree of anticipation to the coming of her successor who appeared in the person of Miss Alice Ward, the present instructor. The Glee Club began with just those wllo were members last year, but gradually new voices were discovered, the Club grew in numbers, new music arrived, and a greater enthusiasm was awakened in the Glee Club work. The girls practice from three until four o'clock on Wednesday. Their services are much in demand at chapel and other school activities. Miss VVard is a very able instructor and the accompanist. Miss Josephine Markussen is much to be commended for her competent assistance. They are now preparing a program to be given in May and they have great hopes for the future. In the fall of the year the combined Glec Clubs showed their interest in the work bv giving a program under the capable direction of Mrs, Heald at the Dairy Cattle Congress. held in October. at XVatcrloo. In addition to the excellent numbers given by the Glee Clubs, Jeanette Sheerer played a clarinet solo, the Timmons Quartet gave several selections, and with a minuet, danced by four little girls in colonial cos- tume. the program wasgcomplcte and well given. Operetta In staging the comic operetta. Bulbul. in the High School auditorium on the evening of May 5. 1916, the cooperation of the Girls' and Boys' Glee Clubs and the musical ability of Miss Piper were well displayed. The audience was enthusiastically appreciative of the catchy song numbers. the rainbow costumes of the girls, the royal and soldierly garb of the boys, and of the pretty scenery. The charming love story was told in dialogue and song. In the first act, given in the garden of the King's palace, the Princess Bulbul meets a peddler, with whom she falls in love. Immediately they consider elopement to prevent the marriage of Bulbul to a young prince of her father's choosing, whom she dislikes verv much. ' The second act is presented in the ball room of the King's palace on the evening of the same d-xy. Here the monarch learns of his daughter's desire to wed a man other than that of his choice. Soon Bulbul finds to her amazement that her peddler is the prince who has disguised himself to win her love. By means of amusing incis dents. and bv a rash statement of the King, I.illa and Alain, and also the King and the Court Chaperon. who has had so much trouble with her charges, decide to be mar- ried on the same day as Prince Caspian and Bulbul.

Some years it has started out boldly at the first of the year. but fizzlcd out toward the end. Other years it has gradually grown from small ljgi1,g53fQj beginnings to quite an excellent musical organization. This year the latter has been the case, in spite of some serious dis- advantages. In the first place. Mrs. Heald's work was interrupted by her illness before she had been able to fully carry out any of her plans. Then, too, since the glee club last year was so largely composed of Seniors, there was the necessity of considerable recruiting being done. For these reasons very profitable work could not be done until after Christmas. Since then, however, under the direction of Miss W'ard, the organization has again been placed on its feet, and has made a number of appearances in chapel exercises. A combined glee club concert has been planned, but at the time this book goes to press there is nothing further to be said about the event. OI'Cl'I9StI'8 Thru the efforts of its able leader, Prof. B. VV. Merrill, the High School Or- chestra has been raised to a much higher standard. Since the work is now on a credit basis. more interest is shown and many students are joining. Up to date the orches- tra consists of four first violins, five second violins. two cornets, two clarinets. two trombones. cello. alto. piano, bassoon. and drums. VVith the help of the annual concert, given this winter, the organization has about thirty-five dollars in the treasury, and is looking forward to the purchase of a set of kettle drums with which it will be more complete. Miss Anna Humphrey. of the college, is concert mistress.

As a result not a boy in the High Sehool uses tohaeeo in any form. and profane language is not tolerated. VVard has been rigid in his seholastie requirements. Not a boy has played in any game who has not fulfilled definite regulations in regard to the three subjeets he must ea ry. Neither unelean talk nor unelean playing has ever been eountenaneed or tolerated by the Coaeh. Clean game and fair play seems to have been his motto and as a result Iowa Falls, our life- long enemy, has never won a single eombat over the Tigers in these five years. Coaeh iVard has taken eharge of all athletic' meetings. The mass meetings. whieh in- volve the whole High Sehool, have always been in his eare.

The Tigers H. I N showed a good spirit from the start and having a great deal of confidence in their 'Ji ff-X f., captain, started in with good, hard practice. malaga. The team was rather light in comparison with other teams in this section, the back field averaging only about 137 lbs. While there were few men on the field who had played regular football, there was a great deal of scrub material from last season to build a team from. Captain Hailey was out of the first two games because of difficulties in the class room, but when he was able to step in at quarter back and run the team, they showed more fighting spirit than ever, as was shown in the Training School game. The first real hard scrimmage of the season for the Tigers was a game with the alumni before the regular schedule. The game was played at the fait' grounds after school and the Alunmi were victors by a twelve to nothing score. The Tigers opponents consisted of many old players who had won letters on the field in their days. Among them were Gregg, XI'ilson. North and Christie, the 1915 captain. The Tigers lined up without their captain, but showed lots of fight against their strong opponents. The game was slow and there were no long runs featuring. The Alunmi worked forward passes like they were in mid-season form, ami it was on these that they made their scores. It was not until the last quarter that the Tigers got to going and had several chances to score, but failed against the strong defense. The game was clean throughout, and after the game the Tigers invited the Alumni to come again which many of them accepted, and they were seen on the practice field many times during the rest of the season helping to build a stronger team out of the Tigers. The Tigers opened their regular schedule by defeating Ackley High by a score of 18 to ti. The game started with Ackley kicking to the Tigers, who then took the ball to Ack- ley's one yard line where they lost the ball on a fumble. Ackley was held and had to punt. The Tigers returned the ball to the ten yard line. On the second play, A. Hailey went over for a touchdown. He again scored in the same manner in the next quarter. In the second half the Tigers started out with a rush and soon VVillard was sent over for their last touch- down. In the last quarter Ackley took a brace and held the Tigers on their thirty yard line. By using line bucks and end runs, they ran over a touchdown but failed to kick goal. The game ended with the Tigers in possession of the ball on Ackley's thirty yard line. During the next week the Tigers defeated the College Scrubs. In the next game the Tigers mer their worst defeat of the season at Marshalltown. After winning from Ackley the week before, the team took a slump. Hence this score. Al- though Marshalltown had a wonderful team, and were picked for the state championship, there was no reason why the Tigers could not have held them to a lower score. The team did not get together and the old Tiger fight was not in evidence thruout the whole game. Marshall- town started out with a rush and in the first quarter they scored twenty-one points. Their end runs worked wonderfully and many big gains were the result. The half ended with the score twenty-eight to nothing. The second half started out the same as the first, with Mar-- shalltown scoring a touchdown in the first few minutes of the half. The Tigers then re- sorted to a kicking game by which they profited a good deal. The final score was fifty-three to nothing. The team took this defeat in good spirit and were ready to take their revenge on the Training School the next week. After this game the team resolved never again to swipe milk bottles from the hotels. The Tige s were all set to wipe the earth with the Training School the next week and proceeded to do it in great fashion. The team had to face a drizzling rain from the south during the first quarter, making it hard for them to get their plays started. During the sec- ond quarter the Tigers were going in the other direction, they soon had the ball within shooting distance of the goal and Captain 0. Bailey made a nice d4'op kick from the thirty yard line. Between halves, the team was completely overhauled by Coach NVard and the re- sults were shown in the second half. Nothing of great interest happened during the third quarter, but during the fourth, the big spectacle of the game was seen. The Training School attempted a pass which was intercepted by Capt. Bailey, who carried it thirty yards to the ten yard line. On the next play A. Bailey smashed over the goal line for a touchdown, thus One Hundred Niue l fiwwa fidfg.. eel and klilaek, '1 making the score 9-0. VVe failed at goal. This game gave the Tigers the rightful claim to the city championship, ivhich had been in doubt for the past two years. After winning from the Training School, the team went to East High with the same fight- ing spirit in them as they had the week before. The first half of the game was decidedly in our favor. The team threatened to score East High twice during this period, but lacked the punch at the right moment. The first time, Capt. Bailey intercepted a pass and raced ninety yards only to be downed on East High's ten yard line. Failing to make our downs, the ball went to East High who punted out. G. Hansen returned the punt right back to East High's ten yard line. The team couldn't make their gains and again lost the ball. The first half ended with East High threatening to score. During the second half. East High started out with a rush and soon scored a touchdown. This seemed to take the pep out of the Tigers, as East High scored three mofe touchdowns during the game. The final score was 27-0. In the next game the team journeyed to Waverly to play VVaverly High. The team was victorious by the score of I3-0. This score by no means tells the story of the game, as the team did not have to exert themselves to win. It was a cold, wet day. Snow had fallen in the morning and the field was in very bad shape. The game was slow with no long runs featuring, the Tigers making their two touchdowns in the third quarter. The first came as a result of wonderful work of the team on line plunging, the second of end runs and off tackle plays. The Tigers found little trouble in tearing holes in the VVaverly line time after time. but the team was feeling too jolly and as a result was held to no scores in the last half. The team insisted on weaving gloves, calling time out and jollying with the referee throughout the game. The VVaverly team was under a handicap, as they had had a hard time to keep together during the season and had practiced only a few days before we played them. They had the fight, if not the experience. Sir confident of winning an easy victory that they came to Cedar Falls without their coach, VVest High was given a rude jolt when they were forced to be content to a 12-0 vic- tory. The Tigers played West High to a draw in the first three quarters of the combat. but in the fourth quarter iVest High scored two lucky touchdowns. On account of the muddy field both teams resorted to the old-fashioned brand of football, plunging the line. The first quarter the Tigers seemed to have the best of the VVest High, as West High could not stop the hard plunging backs of the Tigers VVest, High was thrown fo losses time after time in the first half. But once during the second quarter VVest High threatened to score and were up to the Tigers ten yard line. but here the team showed its mettle and held them for downs. The half ended with Cedar Falls in possession of the ball in the center of the field. During the third quarter both teams tried hard to score but c'iuldn't. The disastrous fourth quarter started out with VVest High running a shift play which netted five yards. I.ine plays failed and VVest High attempted to punt, and recovering their own punt on the Tigers ten yard line. they soon worked it over for the first score of the day. They again scored another touchdown when they recovered a poor pass and ran over for another touchdown. Time was called with the ball on VVest High's thirtv yard line and the Tigers fighting ha 'd to score. Final score: VVest High 12. Cedar Falls 0. After a week and a half of hard preparation the Tigers won a wonderful battle on Thanksgiving day. By keeping on their toes every minute and showing class that surprised their own supporters, by crashing thru cente s and tackles and by their ability to connect with a break of luck, the Tigers overcame their over-confident rivals. in the sixth consecutive victory, by the score of 6 to 0. The Tigers had several chances to score during the game, but the only marker of the day came in the second quarte' when Robinson seized a blocked punt and raced twenty yards for a touchdown. Starting out with a rush that enveloped their rivals they never allowed Iowa Falls to get within their ten yard line. The old-fashioned brand of foot ball proved most successful for the Tigers The line performed in superb manner, opening holes for the hard plunging backs to advance the ball from three to ten yards on a down. Cedar Falls kicked OH to Iowa Falls who made a poor return. Iowa Falls tried to gain but couldn't. so they punted. Then Cedar Falls started down the field for a touchdown. but failed to put the ball over after they had worked it down to Iowa Falls' ten yard line. Dur- ing the second quarter Iowa Falls attempted to punt when they were on their own twenty yard line. B. Hansen blocked the punt. Robinson of the Tigers seized the ball and raced twenty ya'-ds for a touchdown. XVise failed to kick goal. The half ended with the ball on Cedar Falls thirty yard line in possession of Iowa Falls. The second half started out with Cedar Falls kicking 011' to Iowa Falls. Iowa Falls made a good return and started to make steady gains toward their goal but the strong defense put up by the Tigers soon stopped them. Nothing of great interest happened this half, neither team scoring. Iowa Falls near the end of the fourth quarter made some substitutions and they started a rush, which seemed to be going in fairly good form when the whistle blew. It is a notable fact that Iowa Falls has not been within Cedar Falls ten yard line for six years.

BASKET B LL lnter-Class Games ,LW :H EFORE the regular schedule started, the fifth annual class series was played 3' off. It could be seen from the start that it was going to be a scrap between the Juniors and Seniors. First the strong Junior team put the Freshmen out of the 7 V N fa 2253 running and the Seniors walloped the Sophornores. Then came the final game , Ja V K , , 'cj between the Juniors and Seniors. It was a battle royal from start to finish, the Seniors winning by a two-point margin. By winning this game the Seniors get the right to hold the cup which was already in their possession, this being the second year they have won it. CENTER POINT Center Point came to Cedar Falls on Dee. 22, 1916, to play the Tigers in their first scheduled game of the season. The game was slow and uninteresting. Coach VVard using fif- teen men at different times during the game, giving them all a tryout. The final score was 26 to 13 in favor of the Tigers. But this by no means tells the story of the game, as the team did not have to exert themselves to win. REINBECK In the second home game of the season the Tigers whipped the Reinbeck five by the score of 80 to 26. The game was fast from start to finish, Reinbeck taking the lead in the first half by a 14 to 8 score. But the old Tiger come-back was shown in the last half, and they more than evened the score. Basket shooting on the part of the Tigers was good during the last half, Iblings and Thompson each making several. EAST HIGH On Jan. 18, the team won a slashing victory from East High, The final score being 30 to 19. East High started the game strong and soon had a five-point lead on the Tigers But soon Iblings shot a basket and from then on the East High team was on the defense the rest of the game. The first half ended 9 to 6 in our favor. After the intermission, the Tigers showed more aggressive team work and better basket shooting and soon had a big lead on their opponents. This made the fourth time the Tigers had beaten the East High team in the last year. Captain Thompson played the star game of the evening, being all over the floor at once, his basket shooting and team work being exceedingly good. VVEST HIGH In a very hard fought game West High took the first game from the Tigers which counted on the county championship. The game was played in the VVaterloo Y. M. C. A., which is a very small floor, and for this reason the team was greatly handicapped, they having always been used to a large fioor. The game was fast from start to finish, VVest High being in the lead by one point at the end of the first half. But in the last half the Tigers took the lead on the start, but were unable to work to any advantage on such a small floor. Captain Thompson played well for the Tigers, while Farr was VVest High's best marker. The final score was 39 to 26. TRAINING SCHOOL After losing a hard fought game to the West High the night before, the team also lost to the Training School. The game was played at the Training School gym and a large crowd wit- nessed the battle. Coach Ward's regulars were worn out, so he started the second team, which was unable to overcome the fast passing of the Training School team. Before the game was over, the regulars were put in and nearly tied the score, but were unable to do much. The final score was 16 to 13 in favor of the 'Training School. One Hundred Twelve i f' ' '12 Nf'a'ia- REINBECK The Tigers won a slow game from Reinbeck on Feb. 3. It was a poor game compared with the first game with the Reinbeck team. The first half ended with the score 23 to 21 in favor of Reinbeck. But with the old Tiger come-back in the last half, they were able to win by a three-point margin. Captain Thompson played well for Cedar Falls. GRUNDY CENTER After riding from Reinbeck to Grundy Center in autos with the thermometes around zero, the team was forced to play Grundy when they were numb with cold. During the first half' Grundy had things nearly all their own way. They ran away with the team from the start. but the Tigers took a spurt and tied the score. The fi 'st half ended a tie, 16 to 16. During the last half, the team recovered from their numbness and were able to play much better ball. The final score was 38 to 27 in favor of the Tigers. Captain Thompson played a wonderful game for the Tigers TRAINI NG SC HOOI, The team more than made up for their defeat by the Training School earlier in the season and beat them by a score of 22 to 14. The game was fast from start to finish and both teams played about an even game of ball until the last five minutes of play, when the Tigers took a spurt and gained an eight-point lead, which they kept the rest of the game. By winning this game the team has the rightful claim to the city championship. VVAVER LY The Tigers found little opposition in the VVaverly team and beat them by the overwhelm- ing score of 42 to 11. The team work of the Tigers was fine and every member of the team sure had his eye on the basket. Robinson led the scoring with nine field baskets and several free throws. SPIRIT LAKE The team went to Spirit Lake on Feb. 22. After riding all night they were nearly worn out when the time came for the game to start. The game was slow and rough tactics were shown on the part of the players throughout. The final score was 32 to 23 in favor of Spirit Lake. After the game the team was given a reception by the students and faculty which was enjoyed by all. VVEST HIGH Through their inability to cage free throws, while West High was able to throw ten out of' twelve, the Tigers lost a hard fought game to West High. VVest High threw but four field baskets, while Cedar Falls threw five. Captain Thompson was the only member of the Tiger quintet that played up to usual form. When the first half was up, Cedar Falls was in the lead by an 8 to 7 score. But during the last half, West High was able to cage enough free th rows to win by the score of 18 to ll. By winning this game, VVest High has the rightful claim to the county championship, which the Tigers had held for the past year. Mi One Hundred Tlzirfecu l 1 CFC ' XF-Tax Q is Lf fi, i- Ii Q61 anetklilaelm '17 Northeastern lowa Tournament IGHTING throughout every game in a manner that only Tigers can, the C. F. H. S. basket ball tive, after battling their way to the finals, came within two X4 points of the season's coveted goal, the Northeastern Iowa Championship, losing l, I X Q to the Naslma quintet, 18 to 16, at the district tournament at the Teachers' Col- 2tf..ii.?' , lege. March 9 and 10. Although they did not win the tourney, the Tigers put up a brand of ball that was highly pleasing to all of the fans. Conceded only a slight chance to win, when they entered the two days' playing, the Tigers showed the effects of Coach VVard's fighting spirit, and displayed the best team work and pep that they had at any time during the season. After their game with Reinbeck, the slogan of other coaches became Look out for Cedar Falls. Every member of the squad had a chance to display his ability at the tou 'ney, and did so in a manner that was a credit to himself and the school. Captain Thompson, Jean, Iblings, B. Hansen, and A. Bailey ended their High School basket ball careers with the Nashua fray, in a blaze of glory. Thompson and Jean were picked as all-tourney players by a majority of the coaches and oflicials. The entire squad was well deserving of much credit. The Tigers drew a bye in the first round of the tourney, and did not have to play until the second round, when they took the crack Reinbeck five to a 17 to 6 cleaning. VVith Jean and Thompson doing some classy guarding and shooting and Robinson hot on the trail of Smith, the Reinbeck star, the visitors never had a chance. The C. F. H. S. warriors put up the best scrap in this game that they did at any time during the two days. The second round saw the highly touted VVest Waterloo team put out of the running by New Hampton, and the Training School winning from Greene in an over-time contest. The third round found the Tigers lined up against the Training School for the third time during the season, and with the championship at stake. The C. F. H. S. basket hallers, with Bill Iblings and Robinson leading in the scoring. soon had things their own way, having a 9 to 5 lead when time was called for the first half. Coach Ward's noted between-half chats evidently helped, for the College Hill five only scored two free throws, while the Tigers ran up ten additional ma fkers, making the score 19 to 7 during the last half. The big surprise in this round was the defeat of New Hampton by Osage. After defeating the VVest Waterloo team, the New Hampton five was doped for the finals, but again the dope failed. With our midget basket ball player, Teddy Fuller, dropping them in from all corners of the floor, the Tigers won an easy game from Waverly, 18 to 9 in the semi-finals. Coach Ward used the second string until the last few minutes of the game, when he sent in his reg- ulars to stop the threatening antics of the VVaverly quintet, who came within three points of the Tigers lead. After the first string went in, it was all Cedar Falls. The big game of the semi-finals was the Osage-Nashua contest, the latter five winning by a field goal in the last minutes of play, and gaining the right to play the Tigers for the championship. Playing before the biggest crowd that was present during the two days, the Tigers lost the hardest fought battle of the tourney to the Nashua five, 18 to 16. Both teams realizing what victory meant, put up the fight of their lives. Each team led at intervals, neither having a decided advantage. The Tigers were cutting down the small lead that Nashua had es- tablished when time was called for the gamq ending the tournament, with Nashua in posses- sion of the Championship ami the right to play in the state tourney at Ames.

VVith three meets in view the fellows started good, hard, consistent training at once. The home meet. iUg.JAg5Q1Ql the dual meet, with the Training School and the Cedar Valley meet, was the program for the season. The home meet, which was very close and a very interesting one, was held at the fair grounds after school on April 20. The Senior team won by three points, the Sophomores coming second. Several school records were broken. A dual meet was held with the Training School on May 3, at the college field, and the Tigers were victorious by three points. It was a wet, rainy day and no records were broken, but the showing made by the team representing C. F. H. S. was better than in the meet which was to follow. The Cedar Valley meet which was held at Independence on May 1, 1916, was .1 very interesting event, although C. F. H. S. was not victor. After winning the cup for two years, the team lost to the Training School by a narrow margin of three points. The meet was fast and many records were broken. 1 The one big event of the day which must bring special notice was the result of the mile run which was won by Austin Sheerer. His time for the run was 4- minutes, 57W seconds. This is the best any track man from C. F. has done in the distance running. and shows the results of hard and consistent training. Spring Cross-Country Running under bad weather conditions, Joe Rude won the semi-annual cross- country run on April 21, 1916. The run was started about 4- o'clock and was to cover the usual course, which was about 2,600 yards. Great enthusiasm was aroused over the event, because no two runners were to go over the same course, each runner thinking his course to be the best. But every one thought it was going to be a close race and a big crowd was on hand to see the Hnish. Rude led the race from start to finish, and had it been a nice day he would have undoubtedly made the run in record time. But he was pushed considerably by Siebert, Brandes and Sheerer. Time. 1-11:08. Fall Cross-Country The run in the fall was to be run on October 19, 1916. There were about twelve entries, with Sheerer and Brandes picked as the possible winners. As in the spring, it was a bad day, a slow, drizzling rain, which made it hard for the runners. The race was started about 4 o'clock, and was to cover the usual course of about 2,600 yards. Sheerer got away with a good lead on the rest of the runners and kept the lead during the whole race. He was pushed considerably by Brandes, but finished first and in good time. Out of the rest of the twelve about nine finished, four of these finishing within sixty seconds of the winner, and by doing this, winning numerals.

Alumni Banquet for 1916 was held on the evening of June 2, at f the Blickhawk Hotel. 4 lhc event of chief importance on such an occasion is the reception of the it A, X2 quct boird with their representative on the toast program, the president, Russell lf' It ' ' ' If f' W r wi ' rg . 40 x SAS-I new class and a goodlv nmnber of the class of 1916 were seated about the ban- s:f,f' W ,f f x 4 ' liennison. Verle lteed, as president of the Alumni Association, was very happy in his introductory remarks and in presenting the toastmaster, Hon. J. 15. Newman, class of '89, Mayor Newman, who excels in this capacity, added nmch to the pleasure of the toast program by his introduction of the topics and speakers, the program being as follows: VVatchful VVaiting ..,. ,,...,.,, .,.,,,,,., , 1 .illy Robinson, '03 Good Intentions .,...,,,, ,,.,.. l iussell Bcnnison, Pres.

Since the revival of the C. l . ll. S. .Xlumni Association some six years ago, the annual gatherings have been largely and cntlmsiastically attended, but each year has depleted the surplus in the treasury, so that the officers of the year 1916 found the financial end of the ban- quet far the heaviest end to handle and President Verle Reed, Vice President John Brown and Secretary and Treasurer Gladys Severin deserve much credit for carrying out their plans to so successful a conclusion. .Xt the business meeting which followed, an effort was made to lighten up this financial end of the load, and the proposals adopted should be supported by every loyal alumnus, not only to lighten the burden of the otlicers, but because such support is a real necessity to the continuance of similar social functions.

For here. instead of the dark hallway leading to Miss llansen's oitice, and on to rooms 15, 17 and 18, were tennis racquets, nets, porch swings, wicker chairs, and masses of ferns, snowballs and morning-glories. After introductions and greetings were exchanged, the .luniors ushered their guests down stairs to the lower corridor where the covers we 'e laid for the banquet. The feast, which was served by the ladies of the Congregational clmrch, consisted of the following: Fresh Strawberries on their Leaves Chicken Patties Creamed Potatoes Creamed Peas Pickles Olives Manhattan Salad lce Cream Coffee Cakes .Xt the close of the banquet, Miss Snavely acting as toastmistress, introduced the speake 's who responded to the following toasts: Om' lllrudrrd 'I'1:'rnzry-law I x ' 'Ie ,... , .1 Q61 anelxlilatek 'Z Sunrise at the Gate ....... ..,.....

R u ssell Bennison After spending this day in the garden, all went up to the auditorium, where the Juniors entertained their guests with an original play that rivaled any of Shakespeare-'s. Later an enjoyable social time was spent in the main corridor, at one end of which an inexhaustible bowl of frappe was attended by two pretty Sophomore girls. At a late hour the guests de- parted, unanimously declaring that an evening of rare enjoyment had been spent. THE ATHLETIC CARNIVAL One of the most eagerly anticipated events which takes place during the school year is the Hallowe'en Carnival. This is held each year for the benefit of the Athletic Association, and so far have been a great success, both financially and socially. The event is held in the Gymnasium which is partitioned oh' with canvas into booths. All is prettily decorated and each class and organization puts on one or two stunts, for which an admission of from two to five cents is charged. The entertainment for 1916 was especially unique and was as follows: The Commercial Club provided a very clever swimming match, together with a wrestling contest, while the Y. W. C. A. presented a most interesting Freak Show. The Freshmen cer- tainly brought honor to the school by their style show and also gave those attending the rare privilege of seeing the original specimen of the American Eagle. The Baby show, given by the Y. M. C. A., was, of course, popular and the Senior trip around the world was a tour none should have missed. Few could resist the attractive Minstrel Show given by the Sopho- mores and the Origin of Hallowe'en was a special feature. Last but not least was the Jun- ior police court and the Art Gallery. Each department certainly spared no effort nor time in its preparation and contributed a goodly share of the profits which somewhat exceeded 857. SENIOR PICNIC One evening in early October the Seniors had a most delightful time at a picnic which was held at Cedar Heights. About fifty Seniors, accompanied by the faculty, boarded the seven o'clock interurban and arrived at Cedar Heights at about 7:15. At 7:30, supper was served. Everyone present enjoyed the excellent feed prepared by the Senior girls. The supper was very informal, but needless to say all had plenty to eat. Several of the students and faculty had a cold job serving the ice cream Qof which there was plentyj. After the supper all participated in games and judging by the yelling and laughing, all present were having a good time. At about 9:4-5 the crowd broke up-a tired but happy bunch. Some of the Seniors are still wondering where the marshmallows were hidden. FRESHMAN SLEIGHING PARTY On the evening of January twenty-fourth a sleighing party gathered at the home of Thelma Hansen and from there enjoyed a long ride around the residence portion of the city. After the ride, the party repaired to the home of Carrie Bailey, where delicious refreshments were served and an unusually pleasant social evening was enjoyed. One Hundred Twmzty-Hu'cc 61 1 'is JUNIOR PARTY On the evening of December 16th, the Juniors were entertained at the home of VVm. Sheerer, on Clay Street. The first part of the evening was spent in playing games. during which a Senior, dressed in girl's clothes, entered the house. In the excitement that followed, it was decided that he should be put in the cellar, but, for the reason that about fifteen Senior boys were just outside, the kind-hearted Juniors relented and allowed him to leave the house unmolested. Altho he complained of the treatment he' received, he must have been mistaken, for even the Juniors said he had been well treated. After the various entertaimnents of the evening, a luncheon was served, which everyone declared delicious. Soon after this the party broke up, everyone declaring it to have been a great success. SOPHOIVIORE PARTY - Saturday evening, February 10, the Sophomore class gave a Valentine party at the High School. The lower corridor was prettily decorated in red and white suitable to the occasion, and at one end of the hall stood a large screen with '19 in white figures. The event was also a masquerade party and the idea was carried out most cleverly, causing a great deal of amuse- ment in guessing the characters. Small tables for games were arranged the length of the hall and the guests matched valentines for partners. After an hour, the company went to the Gym where a lmnt for candy hearts was enjoyed. On returning to the hall they were served with hot cocoa, sandwiches. salted peanuts and ice cream. This was the first social function that the class has had as a whole, and it was thoroughly enjoyed by all. SOPHOIVIORE SLEIGH RIDE On the evening of January 31, the Sophomores enjoyed a sleigh ride given by the Parent- Teachers' Association. At seven-thirty the members of the class met at Townsend-Merrill Company's oflice, accompanied by some of the parents and the teachers, Misses Miller, VViller and Brammer. The ride took them to the P. A. Dunbar home, three miles north of the city. After a most enjoyable social hour, they were served with a delightful luncheon. At nine-thirty, wraps were put on and well protected from the wind and snow, the two bobsleds started for home. JUNIOR BOYS ENTERTAIN SENIOR BOYS On Thursday evening, November 1-tth, the Senior boys were invited to a feed and theater party given them by the Junior boys. They were first taken to the basement of the Methodist church where they were given a big feed, which had been prepared by some of the Junior boys. The way in which this feed was prepared shows that there are certain boys in the Jun- ior class who will make model husbands some day. The feed was followed by speeches by the two class presidents and members of the class. In these speeches, it was said that if the two upper classes maintained friendly relations thruout the year and when the time for class scraps came, to scrap for all they we 'e worth, the High School would be benefited a great deal. This sentiment was approved by all present. The boys then went to the Empress where seats had been reserved for them. After this affain. the relations of the two classes have been of the best, altho as this book goes to press, war clouds are seen gathering on the horizon and it is feared that C. F. H. S. will once more become the scene of carnage and bloodshed. The Senior boys are planning a similar aiair to take place in the near future. One Hundred Twenty-four fhf van zwin C-?6161T1.6t5lil6C-lks '1 THE FIRST ANNUAL LETTER MEN'S BANQUET On the evening of Dec. 28, 1916, was held the first annual letter men's banquet of the Cedar Falls High School. At about eight o'clock, thirty-eight wearers of the red and black and three guests went in to the excellent banquet prepared by the Burns Cafe, and before being seated, some belated comevs raised the total to forty-five. A large section of the Cafe had been set apart for the banqueters and the two long tables decorated with streamers of Red and Black. Allen Bailey, as toastmaster, opened the program for the occasion by in- troducing Oscar Jones, President of the C. F. Club, who welcomed the Alunmi and briefiy expressed the key-note of the occasion in his talk when he said we wanted a stronger cooper- ation between the students and Alumni. Under the heading of Alumni Greetings, we heard from five fellows who had been away to school since graduation and one of the fellows who had been at home since graduation, and in constant and close touch with the aifairs of the High School. George Hauser, captain-elect of the Minnesota football team for 1917, talked briefiy of' his work at Minnesota and expressed his interest and loyalty for the Cedar Falls High School. Jack Hansen told us a few of the many differences between High School and University football. Vivian Johnson made a rather learned address on the subject of Blue Slips, but also expressed a heartfelt desire that he would learn no more of them than he already knew. VVithout much effort of the imagination we were able to see that Blue Slips were not things to be greatly desired, especially about the time that the month's grades were coming out. Tom Brown talked of Freshman football and of the friendships formed in the Vniversity with the fellows that he was constantly thrown with in his work and play. In his talk he also found it quite difficult to refrain from some mention of the dreaded Blue Slips. I have no story to tell and I am not from Minnesota, said Harold Christiansen in thc opening of a fine talk on the advantages of a stronger and cioser Alumni influence in High School athletics. He said that one of the best ways to attain this important cooperation was to make this banquet the first of a long series of annual Letter Men's Banquets. It was quite plain that his remarks met with the hearty approval of all those present and that his sug- gestions will be acted on. Raymond Tipton, of the University of Iowa, was called on by the Toastmaster for a few impromptu remarks, and in response he made a very fine little speech concerning the live interest that our Alumni in the S. U. I. had in their old High School. He told us how the fellows at one house, C. F. H. S. Alumni, clipped the picture of the 1917 Tigers, Champions of N. E. Iowa, and posted it to show their pride and interest in the big things of the old school. The Letter Club was fortunate in having present two men who had directed the Athletic policies of the High School in past years and who had been largely instrumental in bringing C. F. H. S. into such an enviable athletic position among the high schools of the State. Mr. Perrine and Mr. Minish both talked at some length, to the great pleasure of the members of the Letter Club. Mr. Perrine taking as his theme The greatest thing is, not winning, Init is a clean life, made a very forceful talk, which was echoed by Mr. Minish in another strong speech on Playing the game clean. In the concluding talk Mr. Ward pointed out some of the many advantages already received from the Alumni cooperation and urged a closer and still more active interest. . The whole evening was productive of much good in the closer relation of the students and Alumni. Undoubtedly the most enthusiastic person present was the newest member of the Letter Club, an invited guest because the awarding of' his letter had as yet been kept a secret until it could be presented to him, Sam Brown, the Best Tiger of 'Em All.

Qdandilaek' '1 CHAPEL EXERCISES Chapels have been somewhat irregular owing to the illness and final resignation of Mrs. Heald, musical instructor, with whose cooperation a fine program had been planned. At the first chapel of the year, Rev. Walter Metcalf presented to the High School in behalf of the VV. C. T. U., a fine portrait of Frances VVillard, which has been hung in the library. Some of the speakers at other programs were as follows: Rev. J. W. Holland. who gave a very interesting talk on Brains, and how they are developed, Miss Kellogg, a visiting nurse, spoke on Health and Its Preservationf' Rev. C. W. Or- cutt, The Intrinsic Value of I.ifcg and YV. X. Gilman, district safety advisor of the C. R. I. Sz P. R. R., whose subject was Safety First. He quoted during his ad- dress statistics of the killed and injured in railroad accidents in the U. S., and proved that the main part of these was due to carelessness. Dr. Grist, a veteran of the Civil lVar, spoke on Patriotism,,' and Prof. Barnes, of I. S. T. C., read The Man in the Shadowf, The boys who attended the Y. M. C. A. conference at Marshalltown gave their reports during one chapel period. On Feb. 16, the Seniors had charge of the program which was as follows: A duet by Hattie Iblings and Venice Gott, a reading by Eva Pinch, violin duet by Vera Sprague and Marguerite Philo, and a farce entitled The Teachers, Dormitory, composed of clever takeoffs on the faculty as they appear at teachers' meetings. Other musical numbers during the year were: A trio by Venice Gott, Virginia Gordon and Hattie Iblingsg duet, Thomas VVaugh and John Rayg clarinet solo by Jeanette Sheererg and several numbers by the High School Glee Clubs. The Juniors are at present working on a program that will rival that of the Seniors. During the Friendship campaign the men in charge gave several interesting talks in chapel. It is hoped that we will have more chapel periods hereafter, as they are a great help in keeping up the school spirit. SENIOR PARTY On the evening of March 21, at the home of Marian Cox, on VVest Second Street, the entire Senior class assembled for their annual Senior party. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Ward chaperoned the company. The evening was spent with an abund- ance of music and much hilarity. The decorations outside as well as in were very tasty, thanks to a few of our thoughtful Juniors. After a long and very delightful evening's entertainment, the eats committee, of which Marian Cox was the chair- man, served delicious refreshments and at a late hour the guests departed, unani- mously declaring that one of the most delightful evenings of the year had been spent. Much credit is due, both to the entertainment committee, whose chairman was Hattie Iblings, and to the above mentioned eats committee for the success of the event.

W , ' A .V ' sf' lf, ti, ln the year's work the Scientific Research Association has been especially handicapped by the peculiar and sometimes very abnormal nature of the specimen under examination. The extensive work of Professor Clark on The Habits and Nocturnal Customs of Ab- normal Varietiesf' and the lately published production of Miss Stena Hansen, A Scientificallv Tabulated Report of the Examination of the Habitat of Specimens, have aided in the difficult task somewhat, but there is still some doubt about a few of the most battling subjects and they remain a challenge to future investigation. VVe trust the following will be a real contribution to the scientific world. The well pre- served specimens will be on exhibition in the auditorium of C. F. H. S. June 1, 1917: l'mw.fr Pugn.

NVhen you are down in the mouth, think of Jonahg he came out all right. Mr. Clark: VVhy do you boys manicure your finger nails when yon can get it done and have a pretty girl hold your hand at the same time. Once there was a little boy, his sweetheart was most haughtyg She never did a single thing that people could call naughty. And when he came to call on her if he would deign to dare To sit beside her on the couch, she'd promptly take a chair: And if the space between their chairs a little less be made She then would go across the room to raise the window shade. Things went on this mournful way until this little man One day, while in the Physics class, hit on a capital plan. Like signs repel, unlike attract, 'twas thus the teacher said, And then a little bright idea came quickly in his head. This thought he quickly seized upon and this was his deduction. I'll charge myself and then b'gosh, I'll change her bv induction. He got some insulated soles and then he got a friend To charge him so positively' that his hair stood upon end. And then he went to call on her, the plan was quick in action, For when they sat upon the couch she felt a strong attraction. They sat there in their silent bliss acquainted of an hour: Ha! Ha! this fellow thought with joy. I have her in my power. Her lips came nearer, nearer bis. He surely would have kissed 'em, But then her dad came in the field and grounded the whole system.-E.:-. 1--l'1..f-q-.,.- Example of Mr. Clark's logic: A nut is an organism. You are an organism.

TO SECURE HIGH-GRADE EDUCATION GO TO COR ELL COLLEGE 11 Cornell is one of the great colleges of the Mississippi Valley, pre- paring acceptably for all graduate and professional schools. ll Standards and traditions are the best. The ideals are intellectual ability, culture, high morals with physical fitness. The exceptional rec- ord of her graduates is one of her strongest recommendations. ll Cornell is cosmopolitan, with students from twenty-one states and seven foreign countries, and from many different church denomina- tions. fl Athletics for all and for character development, is ideal of her Physical Directors. fl Her location is ideal, near enough the city for its benefits, far enough to be free from its domination and distractions. II Cornell's size commends, large enough for the fullest college life and small enough for personal, friendly, helpful contact with fellow students and faculty. ll Scholarships to honor students.
