Her ofhce seems gruesome, And their duds they all rue some Whenever theylre summoned down there. Miss Cony-beare sure is a bear, Her mind is a wohdrous affair, In history she's clever, She forgets a date never, With her wisdom can nothing compare. The charms of our handsome young coach Are a subject we sure hate to broach. Though for him we all fall- Even teachers and all- He seems 'way beyond all approach. With the Freshies you'll hnd Miss DeLong. Their behavior is sometimes all wrong. But they're willing to saye And on this very daye . That for her they are all pretty strong. From praising our teacher Miss Main We never shall try to refrain. She can smell chloric acid And remain sweetly placid, But she seems to have tests on the brain. We fear that Miss Dressler's hopel- chesting, For at noon, while all others are resting, In the schoolhouse she stays, And sits and crochets, But HNo questions asked! she's requesting. Our Math teacher's name is Miss Scott. Her classes are so easy-not. She says hgures won't lie, But we oft wonder why Our grades are no more than we got. EE$EE$5EE$55$E$E$$E$$E$$E$$EEEE$EEEEEEEEEEEE$EEEE$EEEEEEEEEEEEEE5$EE$$$$$E$EE$EEEEEE$EEEEE Miss Starrett can,t choose her career. She's so wise that that seems rather queer. She can read,lshe can sing, And do 'most everything, , V But we hope she'll keep teaching right here. Iva Marvel may sound like a pun, But the marvel has not yet begun, For she's right here to state, And perhaps demonstrate, Two can llivu just as cheaply as one. We're taught Latin by Miss Helen Wehrli. You may note that her name rimes with surly. But she's not to blame, For what's in a name? So why in the deuce should we worry? Miss Scott, you've the voice of a lark. When you sing we all cry Hark! hark! You need not ask Caruso, Pray, how did you do so? To help you in making your mark. 555 q $$5EEh$5$$$E$Eg$$$EEEEE$$E$$EE$hEEEEEE$$$$EEEEE$$$EEEE$$EE$h 7 ggEE5EEE$5EEEEEEg555$$EE$5$55$$$5$5$5E$555EEE$E$EEEEE$$5$5E$555EE$EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE 5 $ Wumuwy'immxngW Iv. by Man m w. 2.-.; M 1a 9.3 2 HELEN GUTHRIE ANNA ANDERSON JAMES FARNHAM MARION WELSH 10 RAYMOND CRITES THELMA DESCH LAWRENCE DICKERSON MARTIN 11 BESSIE jEFFREYS GILBERT ROSE LILLIE RAWLINGS CURTIS PERRY ?1 12 SANTIN ILA GLEASON ARNOLD BADER 13 ANDERSON ALDA ROBERTSON NORDSTROM 14 BESSIE LEUI DONALD LAUB RUTH NUGENT HARVEY BONNESS CARRIE HOAGLAND 15 ASHELFORD LELAND DRINKALL 16 WOLCOTT F ANNA ANDERSON College Preparatory.No1maI Training At the End of the Rainbow Her voice was ever soft, gentle and law, an excellent thing in woman.

' Wherefore he called to his aides, and they lied To fashion the rules anew; They lowered the conduct tempo until We all took the next review. It left us some weaker,tbut wiser. and that Was a grand and glorious gain ;' And the teachers laughed in their sleeves and said, ii0, we have not toiled in vainf, HTick, tocki, went the clock and the September sun Peeped in on the Sophomore class , Their verdant hue had faded some, And all of us had passed. i We learned to square iiamas, ii And decline x, y and 2 want? And the wise ones bugged their eyes at us, And murmured, it How can it be? We learned that pin feathers grow on piqu; We learned to fry and stewl; We saw the festive prune grow pale As the chlorine came in view.

It CLASS WILL 'n ab :6 KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS: That we, the class of 1921, of the City of Central City, County of Mer- rick and State of Nebraska, considering the uncertainty of life, and being of sound mind and memory, do make, declare and publish this our last will and testament: We order and direct that our just debts be paid with convenient speed. lVe give and bequeath to our deaf Faculty, who have been our instructors in all the wisdom of the ages, a sweet and unbroken succession of restful nights and peaceful dreams. No longer need they lie awake thru the long watches of the night to worry over uncertain- ty as to whether this one is doing her night work, or that one will have his mathematics in the morning, or the other one will remember every ironvclad rule of compo- sitional technique in the preparation of his essay. It has been a hard strain on them, but they have all done their duty and, verily, now shall they have their well- earned reward. We give and bequeath to our beloved Superintendent our sincere affection, our deepest reverence, our heart- iest gratitude and the unlimited wealth of our eternal memory. To the Junior class we give Jim Heuring, trusting that the Junior girls may be able to steer him thru the gates of Commencement The following may seem but trifling bequests, but we hope that they may be accepted. not as worthless things 20 lavishly thrown away but as valuable assets to those who may receive them: Floyd Nordstrom leaves his rubbers t0 the High School for a swimming pool. Bruce King bequeaths his end of the bench in the North Park to Clarence Hummel. ' It is Bruceis last re- quest that Clarence keep said bench as warm as he has kept it. , Helen Green wills heru come-hither eyes to Leone Drinkall. Thelma Desch and Marion Welsh leave to the High School their notes used in exams. Anna Anderson gives to Goldie Gantz her gift of gab. To Art Ronin Leland Drinkall affectionately bee queaths his nickname. We appoint the class of 1922 the rightful successors ors t0: lst, Our Senior dignity; 2nd, Any pencil stubs, erasers or scraps of paper we may have left behind us in the excitement and rush of gathering up our cherished belongings; 3rd, The Old Rose and Green pennant; 4th and lastly, we give and bequeath unto each succeeding class the honor of publishing a High School Annual. We nominate Albert Rose executor of this our last will and testament. In testimony whereof we have hereunto set our hands and seal, in the presence of witnesses below named, this fourth day of April, A.D. nineteen hundred and twenty-one. Signed, CLASS OF 1921. 'n cl: CLASS PROPHECY x Listen, 0, ye men and women, youths and maidens, and little children! Listen, all ye people of Central City, to the words of wisdom from the pen of your prophet, who now Speaketh unto you what has been revealed unto her, even as it has been decreed by the powers that be. . Behold! even as the cry of weakness did ascend from the long suffering soul of your prophet a voice from the heavens spake unto her, even as in the words of old, saying: Hear now my words. If there be a prophet among you, I will make myself known unto him in avision, and Will speak unto him in a dream, and straightway, from the clouds of the centuries gone and from the shad- ows'already cast before by the ucoming events of the proverb, there appeared unto her the fair and lovely V Spirit of Prophecy, the angel of things to come, and 10! she did With her mystic touch roll back the curtain of the dim Beyond from before my prophetic vision, and did permit me to gaze at will down the long vista of things yet to be, that I might behold all things, that now are. transformed into all things that they shall yet become, even as it was so granted to the wise men of the past. And 10! as she drew back the curtain she pointed with along, transparent finger down avenues of a strange land, and opened her lips and spake unto me, saying: llLook! Listen! Prophesy unto the young men and young women of Central City High School even these things ye herein behold? 21 , into space. . a shiny bald head? None other than BruceKing! Then, as I looked into the land of the future I could see our beloved Presidentmyes, even as to-day, I could see him in all his dignity and majestictbearing, and his i words were heeded by that day and geiieration, even as we to-day of the class of 1921 have heeded and attended unto them; for his ambition has led him ever upward and onward until he is the most promising veterinary of his own and native state. And, behold, I see Anna Anderson the happy bride of Ray Case, a widower with six children, and as I be- held this happy scene the mournful sound of a bell, toll- ed by Verle Yarno, sexton in Cork, spread forth the heart- rending'news 'of the death of Raymond Crites by an ex-, plosion when he was bleaching prunes with chlorine. Even as I gazed down the corridor of time the ora- tions ofJim Farnham tinkled melodiously down the drain- pipe. And while I was held in a trance by the wonders of Jimls proclamations the far-off tap, tap, of a solemn judge, calling a courtroom to order, drew me on and ever And 10! who was that pompous judge with Some unknown power held me in that court room and,veri1y, I beheld this scene: Helen Guthrie and Clara Holtz were to be tried by the Federal court for the excessive use of face powder. Ah! and youhwonder what has brought about this change in the law of the land. Hush, my friends, and I will tell you. The untiring efforts of Thel- ma Desch, who has devoted her life to ridding the world of evil. And now I see Edna Ashelford and Carrie Hoag- land. court reporters, in this sensational trial. And, as I ponder over how it came about, the spirits lead me into other fields, and I find myself gazing into a magnificent cathedral, where a stately priest in his robe of dignity pours forth words of inspired wisdom, and verily I say unto you, it was Floyd Nordsttom, who had entered the work of the church. And I happened to gaze upon the walls of the cathedral, and 10! there was a gor- geous banner emblazoned with the name Ruth Nugent, and when I asked the reason for heralding her name to the skies I was told in all reverence that it was she who had been most successful in teaching the natives of Af- rica how to shimmy. And it came to pass, while I rejoiced over the noble works of the class of l21, the door ot a home swung open before my yision and I found therein a household made happy by Doris Anderson. L Even as Iwatched the home lights die away the sweet strains of music held my soul entranced, and as I looked about to know from whence they came I beheld Ila singing, toiJeanis accompaniment. . And lo! the music wrought a change in the Spirit and it came to pass, as I looked into the professional circles, I beheld Harvey Bonness, a brainy lawyer, with June his-able secretary, and a freckle-faced youth, Law- rence Dickerson, his still abler office boy. As my feeble intelligence was struggling to grasp the meaning ofvit all the odor of ether iioated to my nos- trils and I was led to the ghastly scene of an operating room. Arnold Bader, a famOIis surgeon, with his faith- ful assistants, Marie Wolcott and Lillie Rawlings, were performing a delicate operation on Bessie Jeffreys, who was sorely afflicted with elasticity of the gray matter. From the horror of this scene Iwas graciously at- tracted to realms more agreeable, and I beheld Leland Drinkall and Lewis Young, ohicial garbage collectors in Paddock. e Sad as it may seem, every class must have spinsters, and, verily, my heart. was stirred within me When I be- held the frivolous, giddy lives of Bessie Leui, Helen Green and Alda Robertson. And as I was grieving over thesehappy, unhampered lives, the rumble of a wagon and the shrieks of a dago rent the airellTen-a centa, a dime, banan, banan, cantelopal ll And,veri1y I say unto you, it was Curtis Perry, a sheeny peddler, who was pleading earnestly with Gilbert Rose and Donald Laub, both master mechanics, trying to inveigle them out of a dime. As I pondered, other familiar faces loomed into view, . and I beheld Marion Welsh avoice teacher in the Boston Conservatory and Albie Santon a cartoonist for Life. And, verily, as I beheld this scene and marveled thereat, thinking, uAye, even shall it straightway come to pass with each and every one of us,H the strains of music died away, the veil was drawn over mine eyes, shutting out from my vision the things to be, and I turn- ed mine eyes back to things that are; that, as ucoming events cast their shaddws before? surely only goodness, truth and prosperity shall follow in all the days that are to come to the fair and talented members of the class of'1921. 23 x izfi-w- ,K .431?

Junior Jestivities ' 2'61 i E The Junior Class Play EiThe Hoodoo'i was staged at the Martha Ellen Audi- torium January 25, 1921, by a cast selected from the Junior class. In the first scene the Hoodooii is pre- sented t0 the groom. It brings bad luck to him thru the appearance of Dodo, to Whom he had formerly pro- posed seventeen separate and distinct times. It also brings bad luck to him thru the failure of his bank. Dodo is introduced as the Wife of Prof. Spiggott. He- machus, Prof. Spiggottis son, telegraphs to his mother. 27 In the second scene Dun, the burglar, is seen rob- bing the house, and in order to escape he places a stolen necklace in Billy Jacksonis pocket. Billy is now wear- ing the scarab. He then proposes to three, thinking to be refused by all, but they all accept his proposal. It then turns out that it is his bank instead of Brightonls that failed. He is then suspected. of being the husband of Mrs. Spiggott, who arrives With'six children. In the last scene everything comes out right. Dodo is proven to be Mrs. Dun, Billy,s money is found to be safe, and Mrs. Spiggott begs her husbandts forgiveness. Billy weds Doris. The curtain then descends with all enjoying happiness.

The Junior-Senior Banquet The Junior-Senior banquet was. held May 10th in the high school gymnasium. As has been the custom, 28 the gym was decorated for this occasion by the members of the J unior class. This year it presented the appearance of a J apanese tea-room. This effect was secured by placing arches at the sides and ends of the room, and stringing wires across it from the tops of the arches. From these wires strings of butterfiies and fiowers were hung, and branches were placed on the top. Here and there a Japanese lantern hung from the wires. The sides of the room were filled with green plants. Small tables, seating four at each, were used, with a larger one in the center for the toast table. Above each a Japanese parasol was suspended upside down, and from these strings of butterfiies and flowers dropped. A Chrysanthemum was used as a centerpiece for each table, and the plates were placed at the ends of crossed table- runners of J apanese scenery. The toast list and program were made to conform as nearly as possible to the idea of the decorations. De- lightful'music was provided during the evening by an or- chestra. Much tof the credit for the success of the banquet must be given to Miss Helen Wehrli and Miss Aletha Scott, sponsors of the Junior class, who worked out the idea, and helped the different committees to carry out their parts. gentunamonedpy WEWVW NW 5233. - ,L'WTJ A4,;1'm' ; 31,. 1L; 1'7 1:?

The evening was spent in a visit to ttA Country Fair. The fun began with a free show, entitled Our Aunt from California? given by six of the girls. The in- terest centered around the situation caused by the aunt sending a telegram, saying she was not coming. One of the girls decided to impersonate the aunt and play a joke on her two sisters. While in the midst of the sisters fun the aunt appeared on the scene. Many funny things were said and done, which made'it very exciting. - After the playlet everyone was admitted from the bleachers, where they had been Viewing the free show. Each person was given an envelope containing paper money to let him enter the fake booths; fifteen in number. a The signs on the booths and what the expectant visi- tors really found in them were as follows: ttThe Biggest Bat in the World tbrick bata; ttHave Your Picture Taken tpictures from Judge were clipped and givem ; 39 Why Girls Leave Home twashboards, washtub and mop'in boothy ; ttThe Swimming Match ta match swim- ming in a pan of watem ; The Visit to the Zoo tanimal cookiesy ; The Fish Fondtt ttrinkets fished from with- outy; ttTwo Old Palst, tpair of large shoesy '; ttFortune , I Telling trhyme from fortunes givem ; 1tRinging the Pegst' ttwo out of three received an all-day suckem ; A Trip Around the Worldt taround the globe in a wagom ; See Yourself as Others See You tmirror showing one slim and fatty ; ttThe Boxing Matchtt ta box and a matcm ; gThe Cat Stand,, ttwo out of three gave the winner a stick of gumy ; and, last but not least, the Ice Cream and Popcorn stands. The persons in charge of the booths proved indus- trious by calling out interesting features of their respec- tive shows? s0 loudly that the guests hardly knew which to see first. . ' Dainty refreshments were served bythe committee in charge. The Freshmen declared that they had had more fun than at any real fair they had ever attended. , x 34. 76 CALENDAR 3i Sept. 13.

The boys all liked the coach and consequently were willing to work for him. About twenty fellows were out to practice, and everything was in fine shape for the first game. The opening game of the season was played with ' Fullerton on the home field. Although Central City had had only two weeks, practice, they suceeeded in coming - off with the long end of a score-of 96 to 0. The following week the boys journeyedto Albion in cars. They were a trifle scared when- they got out. on the field. as Albion was a very neat appearing team and also had a very good punter. were again victorious-to the tune of 54 to 0. The next Friday a large group of. rooters attended the boys to Kearney, where Mr. Funk, our last .yearis coach, was coaching. Forithis reason the fellows were determined to win; It was a happy group that reported a score of 33 to 0 to the home folks that evening. Having a vacant week, we played the Old-Timers October14. Several of the High Schools best men were out of this game. Since it was played in a drizzling rain, the veterans had the advantage because of their weight. Nevertheless the students held their opponents down to a 19401-6 scoreethe closest they have ever made with them. The boys felt that, on a dry field and with all their men in the line-up, they could have beaten them. Nevertheless, the boys-V 43 David City came here October 28 and rnet defeat- 79 to 0. They had some good players and all showed themselves to be good sports. After the game the Sen- iors gave a weiner roast for the two teams. , On the 12th of November, 1920 A.D.,Loup City met defeat at the hands of the'Ceritral Cityboys-for the first time in several years-to the tune of 79 to 0. Hastings had an enviable record in football, and so had Central City. The general opinion was that Central would have 'all they could do to beat them. The High School made an extra effort and went to the game 10070. The game iconsisted mostly of line plunging by the cen- tral City backs. This proved too much for Hastings and they were defeated-48 to 0. After this victory everybody thought Central City could beat COlumbuSeori the latter 5 grounds on Thanks- giving Day. ' Columbus probahly had the best football material in the state. They outweighed the Central City group about fifteen pounds to the man, and were much older. By a lucky play they went across the line first. This somewhat dispirited our team, which had not yet been scored against, and the game was loste56 to 0. It is to be regretted that the boys had to lose the . : last game, after so successful a season. This loss was perhaps due to the fact that their first victories were too easily won. Much of the seasonis success is due to the persistent work of our coach, Mr. Houghton. WW ' a ,' VNHWI . - unwmo w .Wx a V?m'h A F735 . .' ' v Maw ., ; RAYMOND CRITES PERSONAL BIENTION RAYMONDCRITES,Cap- tain.-Because of his excellent work last year the boys elected hRam captain. He certainly played a whale of a game at left end. He was a man that was known and feared by all oppo- nents. Becauseof his ability to size up and break up the play of the Opposing side he was rated by many foot ball fans as one of the bestendsinthe state. HAROLD GIERSDORF.- Rip came thru in great shape, having as much tight as, or more f HAROLD GIERSDORF than, any other man on the team. Hewasa suretackler, and many times got the play be. fore it was started. His passing at center was good, very few mistakes being made. The fellows had such respect for his fight- ing qualities that they elected him captain for next year. PATRICK HEATON.e h Pat played a good, steady game at left tackle. He was rather light for the position, butheovercamethisby his constant fight. He was outweighed about twenty pounds by ev- ery opponent.. Pat is PATRICK HEATON 44 JAMES FARNHAM l an especially good man, because he has had experience in eV- ery position but full- back and center. JAMES FARNHAM.- HJim played a good, consistent game at left half-back. He was a goodtacklerandahard man to stop. His line smashing was a con- stant annoyance to his opponents. Ask Hast- ings. He was also the fastest man we had on our team. w A VERLEYARNOx-llRed playedasteadygame at right half. He had 165 VERLE YARNO pounds of solid mus: cle, and so he could hit the line as well as skirt the ends. He was a goodpassreceiver,and it will be hard to find some one to take his place. v 00 ALBERTTOMEK.- To- ny was one ofthe fast- est men on the team. He weighed around 180 pounds and made a good full-back. Altho hehadlittleknowledge of foot ball he soon caught on to its tricks, and will make awhirl- wind in the two years tocome. Hewasagood end runner, where his stiff arm was of great value to him. His long forward passes were ALBERT TOMEK 45 HENRY HEATON responsible for some of our longest gains. HENRY HIEATON.- Hen got his first experience at foot ball this season. Howev- er, we did not run up against any quarter- back who could equal him. His head work is what made him so superior to zmy of his opponents. He was a sumtacklerand a good pass receiver or end runner. Heplayed the safety position with- out a fault. :ci RALyH RICHARDS.- ti Skinny, our 210- pouud guard, was one RALPH RICHARDS of the mainstays of the line. He was fast on the start. one of the things that made it im- possible for his oppo- nents to take him out. He is a very depend- able fellow, and will make awonderful mun next year. u,- at ALLEN G0ULD.-Allen was probabiythelight. est man on the team, but this did not seem to hinder him from making end. He over- came his lack ofweight by his ability to size up his opponentsi ipluys. He was a sure tackler and proved to be very good at the receiving end of a forward pass. ALLEN GOULD 4G DONALD SAMPSON DONALD SAMPSON.- Weighing about 160, with all kinds of fight and pep, ll Samp was ,one of our best lines- men. Heplayedtackle and guard with equal success. A sprained anklehandicappedhim part of the season, but for all that he made a good man. His whole heart and soul were in the game. LEO MC DERMOTT. - stf Bill started the sea- son at left guard. Be- cause of his tackling ability and scrap he finished the season at tackle. Hewas oneof thoselinesmenwhoare a constant annoyance LEO Mc DERMOTT to their opponents. Billls favorite trick was breaking up for- ward passes, either while they were in the air or before they got started. He will make a mainstay for the line next year. FLOYD N0RDSTR0M.- 'lSwede started out not knowing a whole lot about foot ball, but nevertheless determ- ined to make the team; His fight and determ- ination made it impos- sible to keep him out of the game. Many people were surprised that a guard could' break up as many plays as he did.

Add: EmuunmaJ. Review of the Season As everyone had the utmost confidence in Mr. Hough- ton, about twenty-iive men turned out to practice. Sinoe he was unable to handle so many on the small floor he selected fifteen of the best for his efforts. . After a weeks practice we played Clarks on the home hoor December 10. Central City won easilye40 to 18. 'The following week we beat them again, at Clarks+33 to 22. December 21 the boys played the Old Timers,.made up of the best basket hallmaterial Central City ever had, -and were beaten by them-43 to 21 January 7 the boys went to Hastings, and 1n a well- fought game were defeated-41 to 18. Shelton showed up at Central City on the 14th, and, altho the score was at one time Central City 12 to Shel- ton 1, the latter were victorious-Zl to 14. On the let the boys were beaten at Newman Grove, in a poor gym, 34 to 27, and on the next day, on their way back home, at Columbus, by a score of 18 to 17. After this series of hard- luck games Central City defeated Grand Island on the former s floore17 to 10. Their next victim was Kearney, at Kearney-24 to 17. The Osceola quintet came over on the 4th of Febru- ary and went down before our.d0ughboys-28 to 12. Pure hard luck at York the next weeke22 to 27. But on the 18th Kearney came to Central City and were again defeatede34 to 18. , . Grand Island fully expected to at least even scores with us when we went up there, but, at the end of one of the best games of the season, they found themselves un- able to achieve more than a four-point lead. 18 to 14., On the 25th we went to Shelton expecting defeat, but turned the tablesand came home vict0r5w19 to 18. March 2 we defeated Aurora at Central City. Friday, March 4, the boys went to a district tourna- ment at Kearney. They defeated Kearney Military Acad- emy 16 to 4 and Kearney High 10 to 4, but lost the final game to Minden 23 to 22. The following week, March 10, 11 and 12, they went to the state tOurnament. They were put in Class B and started off by beating Wahoo 21 to 5, in a game in which all the subs got to play. Friday forenoon they beat Ben- son High, logical champions of Class B contenders, in a score of 11 to 10. In the evening they defeated Platts- mouth, another strong team,-e14 to 12, and were advanced to finals, where they played Nebraska City, Saturday, for the Class B championship. Desperately hard luck at- tended them, Nebraska City maintaining a good lead, until almost the closeaofthe game, when they dropped into their usual form and began shooting baskets. How- ever, when the final whistle blew, the score stood Cen- , , tral City 15, Nebraska City 16. . ' Curtis Perry played a good, consistent game all the time, covering probably more floor than any other 'man. Raymond Crites was selected as all-state guard on the Class B team. Henry Heaton was high-point man, and was followedcloselyby isRip Giersdorf. Rip out-jumped 1 every center he played against. Jim Farnham played the '49 same hard old game at stick guard. The substitutes de- serve honorable mention, but space prevents details. So, in spite of the fact that the boys started out bad- ly, they certainly ended the season with Hying colors.

Three of the reserves are Freshmen, one a Sophomore and one a Junior. These players,a1tho not large as yet,are fast, and always gave the first team a good scrap; We know of no second team near Central City that was their equal. Their ability may be judged by their scores. Their first game was with a team picked up around Havens. They were Victorious-50 to 41. Soon afterward they played Clarks at Clarks. They played the town team, the American Legion team, and the first and second, High School teams, and were defeat- ed only 26 to.30. February 4th they played Marquettets first team on the home flOOr. The boys kept upa careful guard, and, with their basket'tossing, won in a score of 30 to 22. Clarks then wanted a game on ourHoor. We accept- ed, and beat them-40 to 17. i Our next game was at Marquette. The gym was poor, but the boys were dead on baskets and beat them 41 to 25. 7 . , On February 23d the boys played the Grand Island second team. It-was the first game they had played on a large hoor, and they were a little nervous. However, Grand Island beat them only 20 to 17. Their lastigame was with the Aurora Seconds. Au- rora put upa Stiff scrap, and it was with difficulty that the boys beat theme27 to 22. 7 WMWWJ 1 .1 Mum ,m .,w m' v. wwwt. 1.1.. . wm-m - me1,mu;uwl 51 ttThe Deacon ,i The play presented by the High School Athletic Asso- ciation at the Donelson Theater March 7 and 8, was a decided success, the house being crowded to its capacity the first evening and filled the second. The cast for The Deacon, a five- act comedy-drama, was chosen from the entire High School and, to say the least, they conducted themselves with c1edit both to their coaches and to themselves. The audiences fully. enjoyed the unfolding of the plot, following it with interest tothe downfall of the villain and the triumph 0f the right. Much credit for the success of the play is due to Miss Conybeare and Miss Dexter, the coaches.

FROM THE ALUMNI x Dear People: Central City, April 11, 1921. I think there is nothing quite like the thrill that one gets When he realizes that he is just a little part of a great institution Which is turning out into the world every year men and women whose achievements are going to count for something in the years to come. You know how you feel at a football game-how you just fairly quiver at that all-important touch-down. Well, that is the way you feel When the full meaning of the purpose of a state university dawns upon you. It is surely the most democratic place where one may go to school; because former prestige of any kind counts for nothing Whatever. It is What you, yourself, are worthe what you can do. The opportunities are open on all sides; you have but to choose the line of activities in Which you wish to interest yourself, make good, and you are recog- nized on your merit. V If it isnit in you to be a worth-While person, the sort whom people turn to When they want things tiput across, money and influence cannot make you so; and it is a fool- ish waste of time and money to idle through four years of college. But if the real metal is there, the university Will lend the necessary polish to it.

P, DEPOT each individual for himself according to the circum- stances, which will vary for each person. It is a mistake to think college is a place for nothing but a royal good time ; it is equally foolish to allow your- self to become a grind. A wholesome mixture is the desirable combination, and, as with all things, this requires some thought and consideration. It would seem to me that each year of college should mean a little more to the thoughtful student, should help him to get a larger Vision of the greatness of the institu- tion and the principles for Which it stands. To the people who are contemplating college I should like to offer this thought. You cannot have too good a high school foundation upon which to build your univer- sity career. Too many freshmen are falling down in one 01' more subjects, merely because they have not had ade- quate and thorough preparation before coming here. The University cannot lower its standards; if anything, it should seek to '1'aise them; and the best way'is surely to make the standards of our secondary schools as high as . it is possible for'us to make them. Very sincerely yours, NANCY V. PENNOYER. University of Oregon, Eugene, Ore. March 14, 1921. Dear Editor: At last I find time to answer your letter. know if this is what you want, but here goes.

You1 old f1iend, GLEN I donit Ore- . oIr me oh ma ob -A at 'n '9 an ab 00 at -r en oIr oh: The Blissing Canoe By Maude Osborn The wide lake, rosy with the rising sun, stretched out to meet the line of long, slender Canoes,neat1y ar- ranged side by side upon the strip of sandy beach be- tween the waters edge and the tall, dark trees which surrounded it. Suddenly from behind the trunk of the nearest tree glided a tall, lithe figure, who, carefully inspecting the beach, glanced into the dark trees behind him, and, see- ing no one, ran swiftly along the beach, stopping only when the last canoe was reached. Bringing out from beneath his long coat a yellow coil of new rope, hefast- ened it securely to the end of the graceful boat farthest from the water, and, pushing it gently into the 1ake,tied the other end of the rope to the canoe nearest him. Once more scanning the beach and its border of trees, he qui- etly ran the boat out into the water, and, jumping into it, swiftly paddled down the lake, the canoe in tow grace- fully trailing after him. Reaching a point where the water was deepest he took up a small rifle from the bottom of his own canoe and repeatedly shot at the boat in tow until its sides were filled with holes and the water gurgled through the tiny holes, fast filling its beautifully made body. As the loud reports rang out over the still waters, echoing and re-echoing in the darkened woods, the boy stooped and swiftly cut the rope close to the end of his '71 own canoe, took up the paddles, and, after a few moments of swift paddling, brought his boat up close to those on the beach. Placing his own in exactly the same position the others were in, he quietly walked away into the woods, leaving only the water-marked sides of his canoe and the square, unusual prints of his stubby shoes in the wet sand as marks of his selfish, unwise deed. The lake, golden in the morning sun, stretched out to meet the line of slender canoes, but the most graceful of them all was gone. The annual festivities, held at selkirk, a little Cav nadian town on Lake Winnipeg, held on the first day of July, were anticipated with more eagerness and joy this year than ever before, for a new boy had entered-his name upon the lists, and his athletic record showed him to be the winner of many medals and prizes, Ned Morgan, the new contestant, came from a dis- tant city, where his wealthy guardian held a very infin- ential and well-paid position. Because his guardian found it necessary to go abroad for a few months he had sent Ned to spend the spring and summer months with some friends, the Grahams, in Selkirk. Heretofore Bob Cameron had always won in the vari- ous contests, for he was strong, quick and level-headed. Moreover, because of his good habits and the respecta- bility of his widowed mother, he was very much liked by all the inhabitants of the little village, who were al- ways happy to see him win the much needed prizeSe usually sixty dollars. But this year Bob was not at all certain of the prizes which his mother needed so badly to help pay the interest on the heavy mortgage on their cozy little cottage. For Ned Morgan was just as strong and quick as he, though not so calm and level- headed. And because Bob and Ned were not particu- larlyly friendly the contests promised to be all the more interesting. ' The spectators, as was their habit, gathered at the lakeside a little'before ten, for the most important feat- ure of the day, the canoe race, was scheduled to begin at 10:15. Each boy was to make his own boat and put it in Charge of the care-taker, iiOll Billfl hvho was deaf and almost blind, but loved by all who knew himJ the-night before the contests. He was to place it upon the beach in the position required by the rules, before-sunrise of July first. This was done in order that any one who wished could examine the workmanship of the boats at his leisure, accompanied by ll OP Billy It was rumored that Bobls boat was the best made and most graceful of all, while Ned Morganls was one which he said he had made the year before. The sun said ten olclock. The judge of the day was speaking. H The contestants in the canoe race? sang a high, squeaky voice, ll are Bob Cameron, Jim Ferris, Charlie Johnston, Ned Morgan, Oscar Smith, Jack Gra- ham, Fred Jarvis and Bill Murphyr The boats. have been numbered and examined. We find that No. 1 is not here. Bob Cameron will please report at once to me. No. 4 has been used this morning, which is, as you all know, against the rules. Ned Morgan will report also . ' 3 72 Excited murmurs arose, and the protesting people turned to one another, asking questions and volunteer- ing useless information. Bob Cameronls beautiful canoe gone! L And the thief had used Ned Morganls boat! tFor no one connected Ned with the disappearance of Bobls boatJ Where was liOll Bill? that he had let one of the boats disappear? Meanwhile, Bob, white with indignation and very downhearted at the loss of his precious canoe, met Ned. likewise white though not with indignation, just outside the judges tent. Something in Bobls accusing look forced Ned to exclaim with some concern: Why, sure- ly, Bob, you donlt think that I-J, He got no farther, for Bobls stern eye silenced him as he turned and walked into the tent. llVVell, Bob, m, man, squealed the judge, lwhat have you done to your boat? You know the rules; no one allowed to enter unless the boat is turned over to Oll Bill the night before the contest. And they all said you spent a lot of time on your oll boat, too. Where is she?h Mr. Harper? returned Ned, somewhat irritated, uyou know I had my boat here- last night, for you heard 01, Bill talking to me about her. You know, sir, aswell as I, that some one has hidden her, and I think there he he raiSed his voice a littlel I know who the thief isJ, ll Hey! hey! ll croaked the 01d judge, liY, donlt, now! Well, well, y, donlt say! But no names, mind ye, lad, till the thing is all proven out. Have you any favor to ask in the line of me helpinl to find the guilty partyPll HOnly that 1 may be allowed to stay here during your interview with Ned Morgan. t At this the old man started back a little and frowned, for he thought that Bob was prejudiced against Ned, and he, for his part, had a strong affection for the ii Morgan 1ad, as he termed him. But he nodded his consent, and called Ned in. uI-Iey! hey! mi lad, he called, as Nedls tall figure appeared in the doorway, ii What have you to say about your boat being used this morning? Donlt you know itls agin, the rules to use your boat after itls placed in 01, Billls care? i, The lad thought quickly. Had any one seen the boat leave the beach? He hardly thought so, for he knew that iiOll Bill, as was his custom, had left his little cabin for his morning walk to town and had not returned till after the canoe had been safely replaced upon the beach. But perhaps some one else had seen the boat return, so he answered: uI can easily explain that part of the mystery, dear Judge Harper. You know Pm not very familiar with the rules, and I thought it would do no harm if I tried my canoe out early this morning. So I paddled about a little near sunrise. But I know, sir, Bobls boat was taken before my arrival, for I noticed its absence. uJust as I thought, Nedf squeaked the triumphant judge. HNow you may return, and the race will begin at once. I hope you are fortunate enough to win the prize, which is thirty dollars. ml lad. uJust a moment, Ned? Bob cut in. HI would like to ask you one question. What were you doing down the lake. this morning at sunrisexwith a gun? It hap- pened that I, too, was down to the lake this morning, taking my usual walk, and I heard several shots ring 73 out, twhich is very unusual at this time of the yearl. I rushed to the waters edge, and, though you were stoop- ing over the end of your boat and did not see me, I saw you, putting away your gun. Ild like to ask you, LVlza! were you shooting at?' You know this is not the season for shooting g'ameH, Ned flushed before Bobis accusing sharp eyes, but was saved the trouble of answering, for at that moment the bell rang, and away fled Ned, ready for the race. Bob sauntered away to the beach, where those nearest him wondered at his calmness, but did not notice his searching eyes, as they scanned the various footprints made along the line of waiting canoes. Even after the boats came back, led by the triumphant Ned, Bob still wandered up and down the beach, apparently searching for some lost article, forgotten by the group of specta- tors, who had gone around to the other side to welcome back the champion of the first race. l Bob took part in all the rest of the contests of the morning, but his lack of spirit, due to the loss of his precious canoe and the prize money. kept him from win- ning any of the prizes, and Ned remained the champion of the day. until the swimming contest, which began late in the afternoon. Ned, who had worked strenuously to win the prizes in the various contests, was pretty well exhausted when the swimming contest started, and, against the advice of his friends, struck OR in the cool water, leaving Bob and his companions in the rear. The cool water seemed to soothe Bob and revive his low spirits, for he was soon neck to neck with his oppo- nent, and Ned began to feel less certain of the prize.

Suddenly Ned gasped, turned over and disappeared under the water without a word. Hearing a peculiar gurgle, Bob turned. and seeing his opponent sink. calmly dived under, strik- ing, as he did so, his own sunken canoe, but he was too busy to notice it. After diving twice, he finally brought up the frantically struggling boy, and with great difficulty at last brought him to the shore, where the spectatorsnvhen they rushed over from the other side, found him'quietly pumping the water from the uncon- scious Ned. As soon as he possibly could, Bob crept away from the admiring crowd to his tent, where he changed his Clothes, and then hurried home to tell his invalid mother the events of the day. She was not as disappointed over his loss of the prizes as'shev was ever the disap- pearance of his boat. But how radiant with pride she was when he modestly told her of his rescuing Ned Morgan. The day drew near on which the interest on the mortgage on their little home had to be paid, and Mrs. Cameron had only half the money. Bob was even more worried than his mother, for he felt that in some way he was to blame for the loss of the prizes. Finally, about ' two days before the arrival of the dreaded day, a long, green car drove up in front of the Cameron home and stopped, letting out a tall, middle-aged gentleman, who walked briskly t0 the door. rang the bell and was asked almost immediately to enter. llMadam, said he to Mrs. Cameron, uI am, as you 75 may know, Henry F.

And since Ned is very dear to me I should like to give you and your son this house as a, reward. Now, now, madam, not a word! not a word! he interrupted, as ers. Cameron began to re- monstrate.

Good day, sir,,l tto Bobl, he said, and walked out through the open door to his car, which moved swiftly down the street almost before he could seat himself. ' He had hardly gone before the familiar form of Ned Morgan darkened the doorway, and entered, upon the request of Mrs. Cameron. Bob, he began, somewhat embarrassed, ll Ilve come to own up.

'21 Awarded second prize of $16.00 by State Woman's Club for next to best poem on this subject Long ago a band of fearless pilgrims, . Leaving home and friends behind them, turned their faces West. Just a free, unhampered right to love and serve their Maker,- This alone their quest. Year by year the magic of their love wrought wonders. And the God they sought for heard them pray,- Listened when they knelt together, hopeful, trusting, reverent, Parents of our first Thanksgiving Day. Anxious hours and troubled days sped by therrii An hundred years still found them unafraid. Axes swinging. candles flicklring, fields a-blooming-e Toiling on, their sons and daughters prayed. 77 Highways, by-ways, homes and fields a-plenty! Love and freedom! Every man a king! Happy children! God high in His heaven! Wonder tho the angels sing? Oler the gleaming world dim Pilgrims, spirits hover, Listening to the murmur of their childrenls weal and woe. Do the spirits smile? Ah! else, the Pilgrim Fathers Failed three hundred years ago! ' Val! The Tale of Cedricis DIarriagic to Rebecca And the Death of Ivanhoe und Rowena One day in May, 1203, the fair Jewess, Rebecca, chanced to be journeying on foot to the home of Ivanhoe, when she happened to come upon Cedric sitting on a turf of grass beside a little brook. Now this fair damsel was exceedingly wrought to see Cedric,s true Saxon blood slowly dripping from a small scalp wound which covered nearly all of his head. And, as fate would have it, she happened to be carrying her little bag of herbs and mustard plasters. So she knelt down on the ground beside the Saxon, Cedric, and applied a mustard plaster to his heaving brow. Now, as you know, a mustard plaster is a very warm piece of cloth with mustard on the other side of it. So Cedric commenced to squirm and kick to such an extent that the fair Rebecca was forced to, place her foot on Cedricls plaster to keep the mustard from rubbing off. But in due time. as the patient Jewish nurse watched over the patient Saxon patient, the wound began to heal, i the blood stopped flowing, and the Saxon felt much bet- ter indeed. il My dear Israelite? sighed Cedric, ii you donlt know how much you have saved my life. If you had not hap- pened along when you did, I am afraid my goose would have been cooked by now. iiOh, donlt mention it.n exclaimed Rebecca. letls journey on to Ivanhoels castleRl And so they walked side by each to the home of Ivanhoe. XVhen they reached the castle Ivanhoe was mounted on his favorite war-horse preparing to ride out and bring in the cows, but he waited in order that he might hear how his father had been kicked on the head by a young deer. It was noticed that every time Rebec- ca spoke to Cedric he would blush a deep lavender from the bottom of his feet to the roots of his hair. The Ivanhoes were not surprised three weeks after to hear that Cedric had eloped with Rebecca. ' Things were running smoothly enough indeed, un- til one day Ivanhoe went over to his fatherls castle and hap- pened to go into the kitchen where Rebecca was massag- ing a basket of dough which was to be made into loaves. Suddenly from under the pan- try door came a tiny little mouse. Rebecca of course saw the mouse, and down she came in a faint, dough and all. Ivanhoe immediate- ly 'sprang to the rescue, engulfing Rebecca and the dough in his arms. In more time than it takes to tell, Rebecca slowly ii But THE CA USE OF 77-15 7700ch 78 came out of her faint and exclaimed, ith, dearlll just as Rowena stepped inside the door. . Rowena threw up her hands-and sank to the ground. At that moment Cedric also appeared, and, seeing his one and only wife in the arms of another man, also fell in a swoon. This was the scene which confronted VVamba as he rounded the corner of the castle. He immediately ran and procured some water, which he dashed into the faces of Rowena and Cedric. And as they slowly came out of the land of Nod the situa- av. tion was explained to them. f - Then Rowena and Wam- u : ba held Rebecca while Cedric pulled Ivanhoe away from her, the dough stretching out like a rubber band. Ivanhoe was taken away a few paces he was able to get. After . enough of thedough off of his feet so that he could walk, tho with great difficulty. He tugged and. he pulled, and he tugged and he pulled, until, when he was about one hundred feet away, the dough snapped in the middle, one end flying back and striking him under the chin with such force that he was hurled up and up and up, until, when he finally came down, he landed in the River Don and was drowned. The other end, which 11er back into the castle, struck a pie with such force-that the pie was broken squarely across the middle. ' Next came the task of freeing Rebecca from the dough. Cedric simplified this by bringing a large knife and cutting the cords of dough. As they dropped to the floor Rebecca sadly re- marked that she would have to mix the bread all over again. At that moment a mes- senger same running to the door saying that when Ivan- hoe fell into the river so great was the splash there- of that it drowned all the crops for miles around. then Rowena heard Amcssengcreamclmnningi . that Ivanhoe had been killed, she threw up her hands and cried: lth! and he had on his best armor!H And with that she slowly collapsed and died. B. T., l23. w x! Three IIIIndred Years Ago By Marion WeISh Three hundred years ago that fearless band Of Pilgrims broke all ties of loyalty, And crossed the storm-tossed, treacherous sea. They sought a gloomy exile in a land Unknown, obscure. There was no outstretched hand To welcome them. The very forest seemed to be An omen of adversity; the sand Upon the shore a gruesome prophecy Of death. But with no thought of turning back; True to each other and to God, they met And conquered all. We owe them this great debt. They gave us freedom. May we never lack Their courage, patience, faith, fidelity In guarding this, our precious legacy! x ?
