JOSEPH HIGH SCHOOL 1 A HISTORY N the fall of 1864, a High School department of the St. joseph public schools was opened in the small building which still stands at the rear of the lot on the north- east corner of Tenth and Felix Streets. Supt. Neely acted as Principal, with Mr. ww N. Wilbur as assistant. Owing to the fact that the pupils had to pay tuition, and that the instructors could not devote their entire time to the high school work, the date generally assigned to the founding of the St. joseph High School is 1866, for in the fallkof that year. the fine, newl' High School building was completed and opened, with Mr. john S. Crosby as Principal and exclusive high school teacher. Supt. Neely assisted by instructing the classes in Latin and Greek. As only two rooms of the Fine, new buildingn were needed for high school work, the other two rooms and the office were used for grammar school instruction. But the school grew, and six years later the grammar grades were removed to another building, the High School pupils filling the entire five rooms. The following year. 1874, Mr. C. E. Miller, a graduate of the Class of 1871, was appointed a teacher, and began his long and valuable service in the school. In 1877, Mr. Crosby was succeeded as Principal by Mr. W. D. Rusk, who served until 1882, when he resigned and his place was taken by his brother, Mr. Frank T. Rusk. During this period, although there were no highly organized student activities as are known in the school today, yet the athletics were in advance of the average of the time. Parallel bars, a turning pole, and other pieces of apparatus were installed on the play ground, football and shinney were played enthusiastically, while the baseball team was the champion team of the city. During a part of the time, a school paper was conducted, known as the Wasp Friday afternoons were given over to literary exercises, when the school met in a society similar to the Fresh- man Literary Society of today. In the fall of 1887, Mr. Rusk resigned as principal, and Mr. Frank Strong, now Chan- cellor of Kansas University, was made principal. He instituted many new and popular features in the school. Classes were for the first time known by their numerals, and class colors, yells, flowers, songs and the like were first adopted. The Class of '88 published the first Class Book, called the Experiment, They instituted Class Night Exercises, held a class picnic, elected class officers and made a beginning in other activities which are now fixed customs in the school. The increase of attendance resulting made an addition to the building necessary, and in the summer of 1888 two more rooms were added to the east side of the building. A science laboratory was installed, and a science teacher was employed, Miss Etta L. Knowles being chosen. Up to this time the building had been heated bysoft coal stoves, which produced much smoke and gas, but did not always give out heat, especially when the boys turned the grate,', and let the burning coal into the ash box, or smothered the fire by piling on too much fine coal. In such cases a half holiday resulted, for in those days there were two sessions each day, as in the grammar schools. But now a steam plant was installed, and things went better, except for two or three fires, which were caused by overheated pipes. The Class Book of '89 relates how one of these fires broke out during the session, but was quenched by the efforts of Principal Strong, jordan, Mosman, Cstudentsj and the janitor, without causing dismissal of school. The following year, the students had better luck, for fire destroyed the upper part of the building, and gave the school a monthys holiday, which had to be made up by attending into the following July. In rebuilding, the entire building was altered, and a room was added for library pur- poses. The school continuing to grow, in 1891 more rooms were built, including an assembly room seating three hundred students. The next year, Mr. Strong resigned, and Mr. Miller became principal. Under his direction, the school continued its growth, and it became apparent to the people that the old building would no longer accommodate the increasing enrollment. So in 1894, bonds were voted for a new building. This was finished in 1895, and the old structure turned over to the grammar school system, and re-christened the Robidoux School. With its destruction this fall to make way for a new and modern structure, the old High School becomes but a memory, and the time is soon coming when it will be forgotten that there was ever a High School building at Tenth and Edmond Streets. The fiourishing days in the new building are of comparatively recent history. and familiar to most of us. Better organization in all lines resulted. with better facilities. In YQ4, the first football team was organized to play other High Schools. In-'98, the first track team was trained, and defeated the Y. M. C. A. on the first field day: In 1899, Mr. Jordan took the track team for the first out of town trip, and the first great athletic victory followed, when the team cleaned up the state championship at Columbia. In 1900 the Missouri Valley Interscholastic was formed in St. Joseph. and the first great meet was held at the ball park. St. joseph has held the meet twice since that time, in 1902, when we won the championship, and in 1906, which many of us remember. Basketball was played first in 1901 as a gymnasium game, and class series were played every year, until in 1906, we began the series of outside contests which culminated in the splendid carnival in the Auditorium this winter. In 1899, the Clio Club was organized, and immediately following, the A. N. P. Society came into existence. The Dianthians came into being in 1901, and the Philomathics in 1904. For many years the seniors had conducted a chorus, and in 1900, IQOI and IQO2, this was a very pretentious organization, under the direction of Mr. Ralph Dunbar. In 1903, Mr. F. F. Beale directed, and in 1904, Mr. J. Marshall Williams. In 1905,the school was called upon to assist the seniors in organizing a Glee Club, and this was maintained for two years by Mr. Williams, some very successful operettas being given. In 1907. Miss Rogers was assigned by the Board of Education to take charge. and the organization has grown and fiourished since that time. The Forum entered upon its long and successful career in 1899, and is now one of the oldest school papers in the United States. It is hardly necessary to touch upon the changes in direction of the school in later years-the resignation of Mr. Miller in 1903, the one year regime of Mr. W. F. Ellis. and the election in 1904-5 of Mr. R. H. Jordan, who still holds the place of authority. In like manner, the remodeling of the basement, the addition of the boiler house, and the other physical changes of the last four years are known to us all. The addition of the manual training and domestic science courses of study, the formation of the Dolad Nun and the Freshman societies, the competition at Columbia in essay and debate each year, with the victories won at that contest, the formation of the splendid orchestra and the fine band we now have, the lunch room with its attendant joys CU and many other features of our life might be dwelt upon, but it is sufficient to say that never in its history have the various activities of the school been so well organized or so Hourishing as now. The class of 1909 wonders how the school can ever be better than in this, the last and greatest year of her history. .,.-f.4.. .-XM ERN,-XX, Iimvox-IN-CH11-:lf IQRNICST L, OSHURNIC, ISVSINES ASSlS'I'AN'l'S HA1.l.1r: MCKEP: NURMAN ML'n:1.1.ER ALINE Bkuxswus FRANK BFZARD IWARSHALI.

The first year this class had much the same career as other Freshman classes. Bluffed by the teachers, scorned by the 444' powers above them CI mean the Seniors, Juniors and Sophomoresj the subs bore themselves as befitted future leaders. By always having well prepared lessons they won the respect of the teachers and by their hearty entering into the various phases of High School life somewhat lessoned the contempt in which mere Freshmen are usually held by the other students. At last came the Sophomore year with its brain-racking tasks. No longer the lowest. the class began to be known about school as that of '1o. During this year the averages of the members of the class in their school work continued to be very good. It was at this stage of its eventful career that this class as a whole and as individuals became initiated into the blessed art of bluffing, that ancient science by which the never-ending period is taken up with a long and weighty discussion on pure nothing. In athletics ,IO had a good represen- tation in football, basketball and track. So the long and uneventful months of two tedious years rolled by until in September, 1908, the members of 'IO realized that they were full-fledged juniors. Shortly after the opening of the school term the organization of the class took place under the supervision of Mr. Jordan and the following set of officers were elected: President, Leonard Smith, Vice- President, John Richey, Secretary, Nina Buzardg Treasurer, George Richmond, and an executive committee consisting of Dorothy Kaucher, Katherine Davis, Inez Chittenden, Bar- rett Heddens and Costello Means. This year the class made a splendid showing in football, having Richey, Williams and Faris on the regulars and any number on the scrub team. In basketball 'IO did even better. The dope pointed to the Seniors or Sophomores as inter- class champions with the juniors far in the rear. And in the first game the Seniors did defeat the juniors but then the Sophs beat the Seniors and the Juniors trimmed the Sophomores thereby making it a tie for first place. On the school team were Dolan, Williams and Richey. who did excellent work for the school. The class of ,IO showed up very well in the track work in the spring. From all this it may seem to the reader that this is a class of husky athletes alone, cultivating their heels instead of their heads. But this is by no means the case. I willbrieiiy mention a few of the creditable things that ,IO has been doing in the way of brain develop- ment. Robert Burnett, the representative of the school at the teachers' meeting at Cameron in the declamation contest won the medal. Miss Davis won the silver medal in state essay contest of the Sons of the Revolution. The class has given two parties during the year. The first was a get-acquainted party and the second a farewell party to the Seniors. Both were decided successes. So at last we come to the close of our three years, work in High School, years that though at times filled with gloom have on the whole been most enjoyable in our memory. We have been weighed in the balances and not found wanting. Farewell fog, you have been a marvelous and hard working class but a new and wondrous successor approaches to take up the mantle you so reluctantly cast aside. Continue the good work ,IO. I would not pose as a prophet or seer but when to natural genius is added a studious mind then O! Di immortalesl what wonderful things shall we not expect. 9 CLASS OF '10 ROSTER JUNIOR A.

'11 A Word to the Wise is Sufficient HERE is no new advice to give to young men. Success in life, as well as happi- ness, depends upon four things: health, www' which is secured by proper physical '- ' development and exercise, intelligence, which begins with as complete an education as possible and should continue to improve through life: moral character, which rests upon man's sense of responsibility to his God for every word and thought and act, and energy. The man who is strong in body, alert in mind, blameless in habits, and actuated by a noble purpose which makes him willing to work and leads him into paths useful service-such a one cannot make a failure of life. Other quali- ties may be added to these, but these lay at the foundation. 1 ' GNN QXN'ritten especially for the Annualj HINTS AS TO THRIVING. .IOHN PLOWMAN. HARD work is the grand secret of success. Nothing but rags and poverty can come of idleness. Elbow grease is the only stuff to make gold with. Every man must build up his own for- tune nowadays. Shirt sleeves rolled up lead on to broadcloth: and he who is not ashamed of the apron will soon be able to do without it. Dili- gence is the Mother of Good Luck as poor Richard says, but Hldleness is the Devil's Lob- ster as john Plowman says. It is bad beginning business without capital. Every minnow wants to be a whale, but it is prudent to be a little fish while you have but little water, when your pond becomes a sea then swell as much as you like. TO YOUNG PEOPLE. N. w. H11.L1s IDEALS. CH, all ye young hearts! guard well one rock that is fatal to all excellence. If ever you have broken faith with your ideals, lift them up and renew faith. Cherish ideals as the traveler cherishes the north star, and keep the guiding light pure and bright and high above the hori- zon. The vessel may lose its sails and masts, but if it only keeps its course and compass, the harbor may be reached. Once it loses the star for steering by, the voyage must end in ship- wreck. For when the heroic purpose goes, all life's glory departs. Let no man think the burial of a widow's son the saddest sight on earth. Earth knows no tragedy like the death of the soul's ideals. Therefore, battle for them as for life itself. HABITS. First the river digs the channel, then the channel controls the river, and when the facul- ties, by repetition, have formed habits, those habits become grooves and channels for con- trolling the faculties. STUDY. Moreover, an overmastering passion is the secret of all eminence in scholarship. All the shelves are heavy with mental treasure, but only the eager mind may harvest it. Today our young men and Women stand in the midst of arts, vast, beautiful and useful, they are sur- rounded by all the marvelous facts of man's his- tory, they breathe an atmosphere charged with refinement, But the youth who hates his books might as well be the poor savage lying on the banks of the Niger,whose soul sits in silence and starves to death in a silent dungeon. Ignorance is weakness, success is knowing how. Ours is a world in which the last fact conquers. f ffff' w JEL W W f flll X fy f gf ffl! 1 if ww w ann M infi ll S 1 'fm aw w w W1 M wwf Em mmm ffl-I Ma '- WK Mmm..

We plodded along, en- couraged or admonished by our guides, as the occasion demanded. The way was so different from any we had ever traveled that it was rather difficult to get ourselves adjusted to the new conditions. We could often see those who were on the junior and senior slopes look back at us and laugh at our efforts, but we didn't mind very much. We had all we could do to keep from tumbling backwards down the rocky path. About half way up, a huge monster, Examinations, rushed out upon us and sought to devour us but we finally conquered him and scrambled on. When we reached the top of the hill the same terrible monster,having pursued us, attacked us again, and after another victory, we stopped to rest for a few months. NE day in September, several years ago, we, the Class of '09, started out on the long WWW It was not long. however, before we were on our way up the next hill, which seemed even steeper and more difficult than the one we had left. We were attacked by Caesar and his favorite Tenth Legion, which guard the way, and were almost defeated. Before long we got used to his tactics, having had many encounters with him, and then he didn't appear half so fierce. We had found by this time that if we kept under the shelter of the huge bluffs along our way we were in less danger of attack, and we felt much safer. We were beginning to know our guides better, too, and we now realized that they were really flesh and blood creatures like ourselves, just as human as anybody else, sent along with us not to make our way more difficult, but to point out the beauties, for there really were some flowers scattered along our path which we had not noticed before. After reaching the top of this hill and spending another delightful summer on the Plains of Vacation, we started up the next steep. Our journey this year was more eventful and less monotonous than it had been the preceding years. Although at times we stumbled on some queer looking rocks lying around, cut in the shape of squares, triangles and circles, and seemed ready to fall, there were other times when we stopped in the shade of the trees which were scattered along the road, and had good times together. A few of those toiling on the highest hill came down and enjoyed these with us, and went back up to their slope with a very good opinion of the fun-making ability of '09, We chose as our leaders in the climb this year a very faithful set of young people, Amerman as president of our body, Mueller as vice-president, Margaret Mitchell to record the history of our wanderings, and Andriano as the guardian of our common purse. We are now on the home-stretch of our way. It is of course difficult, but very, very pleasant. We look back upon the way over which we have come and it seems a gentle slope to us, we wonder that it should have been so difficult. The monsters which attacked us before are less ravenous now, they know that we are very strong, and they show us due respect. We used to watch those who were ahead of us, and we could see some of those on the last hill, distrustful of their own strength, mount fiery steeds at the foot of the slope in order to rush by the monster Vergilius unharmed, but of course all of us are plodding along on our own feet, and we intend to get up to the top of this mountain where shines the bright sun, our diplomas. just now its light is shadowed by a huge cloud hovering over our heads, the commencement essay, but we will soon pass from under its shadow and be happy again. We have a new set of leaders now, J. Richmond, Margaret Mitchell, Emily Wyatt and J. Andriano. The executive duties are cared for by Ernestine Chase, Bertha Morris, Leo Lange, Marshall Carder and Ernest Maxwell. These people are leading us on through a very happy year, and we near our final goal with both joy and sorrow, joy to think of the opportunities which are opening before us, yet with sorrow to think that when we reach the top of Senior Hill we must divide and proceed along the many paths which open before us. Our good fellowship will be broken and we must part from our companions and our guides, now our beloved friends, never to come together inthe same old way, yet I am sure there are none of us who will not have some happy memories of that long, long climb up those hills of knowledge.

RETRGSPECT HIS wAs your class, the class of '09, the class of which you were so proud to be a member and for which you had done vwwlf so much from the time in your Junior year when it first became an organized body. You had worked during your Freshman, your Sophomore, and then your Junior year until at last you became a Senior, side by side with persons to whom you were unconsciously becoming greatly attached. And how you did work during your Senior year, all the harder now that the goal and the prize were almost in sightg and how you worked and worried over Class Night and Commencement,always actively interested and never for a moment looking beyond graduation. And at last the great night came and you donned those clothes of which you were so proud and all aglow with excitement you were hurried to the theatre and there you sat all evening with your heart beating like a triphammer while a lot of people made addresses, very little of which soaked in, and then at length you were presented with your diploma and everybody congratulated you and again you were whirled away home and there you sank into a chair just clean fagged outl' with the intense excitement. And as you sat there you became more calm and then you realized that with a suddenness that was appalling your High School career had ended. You were through. That for which you had worked so long and patiently had been gained. But at the same time the dear old class of '09 had become a thing of the pastg you could no longer mingle day by day with these classmates, you could never all be together againg and somehow you could not feel glad that this was true. Then it was that you realized that this VVAS your class, now only a thing of the past, a pleasant memory. And so it may be that in after years you will cherish this book and often look over the old familiar faces. As you look at some you may shake your head and sigh, at others you may smile, but as you look you will find yourself possessed of a mighty longing to see and talk with these people again and perhaps you will find something of this thought running through your mind: All are scattered now and fled, Some are married, some are dead, And when I ask, with throbs of pain, 'Ah, when shall we all meet again, As in the days long since gone by? ' A something seems to make reply, 'Forever, never! Never, foreverl' St. Joseph, Mo., May 5, 1956. Dear Friend: I was glancing over an old Class Annual the other day and the sight of your beaming countenance put me in mind of you once more, so I made up my mind to write you. CI should have attempted mental telepathy but as I have had no sort of connection with you for so long I was afraid ,to risk it. Then again as writing is fast becoming a lost art I like to get a little practice when I canj Things have changed wonderfully since our day but I don't suppose you have noticed this change, having spent so much of your life in that South Pole radium mine. Say, do you remember Maxwell? Well he is one of the greatest planetary explorers the universe has ever produced. Not long since he purchased one of the finest airships I have ever laid eyes on. He took a little trip to Mars a short time ago and while he was there I called him up over the wireless telephone. He is looking pretty good over the phone but I could catch a whiff of those ever present machine chemicals even though the connection was not especially good. And Andriano, you recall him, don't you? VVell he is manager of a big company that puts on those great inter-planetary races on the greater ring around Saturn. I see by next week's paper that there's going to be an un- usually big affair pulled off up there. Reduced rates to the course from all parts of this planet. You take the gyroscope line to Chicago and there change to the High Flying Airship Line. If you get time run up. I'll be up there in all probability. Carder has the nicest little place over on the east side of Jupiter that I've seen anywhere. I took a run over there in my old Wright machine the other day. It got so cold about midway between planets that the mercury in the ther- mometer disappeared. Williams is booming a new addition of his over there. Came near buying a place myself. A bunch of us took dinner at the old Robi- cloux the other evening. We had some of the finest capsules I have ever tasted, they were shipped here direct from the Lange concentrating laboratory. They say that they still have a few automo- biles and street cars in Atchison but you never see any here anymore. That new interurban compressed air tube line is fine, they make it from my place fabout five miles out from the cityl down into town in less than a minute and the children never leave home for school until time for the first bell to ring. We have a new policeman on our beat but she is of no use on earth. But she's a friend of the mayor and the mayor has all of her friends in office. ' And the old school,why man, you wouldn't know the place. They are at present accommo- dating about four thousand students and nearly the same faculty does the work as in the olden days. They have all acquired such gigantic in- tellects that they are now able to impart more knowledge by concentrated mental suggestion in half an hour than of old in half a day. The school is lighted and heated altogether with radium,and is fitted with all the latest appliances, elevators in all parts of the building, moving hall floors and many other conveniences. They have a fine football team this year. They met the team from a little town down streamQKansas City was the name, I thinkl the other day and put it all over them proper. Katy, that's my youngest daughter, was playing quarter and the other girls on the team said she was fine, but she had a little accident and her mother had to take her over to Paris where the doctors put in a new heart and now she is recuperating at our summer home at the North Pole. There's my wife now trying to get me over the wireless so I must for the present bid you good bye. Yours truly, W. H. JONES. PARENTS OCCUPATION. If you are fond of variety you have it here. Indeed, there are but few occupations that are not represented by the progenitors of this illus- trious class.

Were it not forthe fact that we would be through when this book came from the press it would have been difficult to get the student to express favoritism for any study.

The main purpose of this society is to give the freshmen elementary training in debating and read- ing and to prepare them for membership in the other literary societies of the school. All www members of the school societies must have been members in the Freshman society. Throughout the two years of its existence great interest has been manifested in the work, Many extremely interesting programs have been rendered, all ofa literary nature, a debate, with numbers of less weight afterward. The progress of the society during the two years of its existence is wonderful, and it is doing much to raise the standard of work in the older societies of the school. C. C.

NNliile similar organizations, on a smaller scale, have at times represented our High School, yet it was not until last Christmas that steps were taken for more systematic organization. The con- sent of Mr. jordan was readily gained, and the services of Mr. M, B. NVallace as director were obtained. Practicing was then begun and in a short time the orchestra was ready for its first public appearance at the Glee Club Concert on jan. 22, The next appearance was at the Clio play, and later at the A. N. P. play, at both of which it was warmly received. At the gathering at the school of the Sons of the Revolution, for the presentation of medals, the orchestra furnished some excellent music in lieu of which it received tremendous applause. Later on the band and orchestra together played at the basketball games at the Auditor- ium and added greatly to the spirit of the contests. It is hoped that next year the school may have an even larger and better organization of this kind, and that proper equipment, such as uniforms, etc., may be obtained. Every member of the school should take it upon himself to help and boost as much as possible this phase of the school work, which does so much to enliven the school life of the student body.

This course extends through four years. The first year hand work is taught, plain TM and French hemming, hemstitching, seams, patching, darning, embroidery, outline, chain and feather stitches, button-holing and eyelet work, also a study of cotton, wool, linen and damask, their relative value, cost, utility and effectiveness is made. The second year deals with a study of the mechanics of the sewing machine and ma- chine workg namely, hemming, tucking, gathering, methods of applying trimmings on muslin, designing, drafting, cutting, fitting and trimming of under garments, dressmaking and milli- nery. The first year's work in Domestic Science deals with the composition ofthe human body, study of food principles, reasons for cooking food, home sanitation, household manage- ment, including laying of table and serving of meals, utilization of left-overs, nuts as food, and preparation of desserts. In the last year study is made of bacteria, adulteration and preservation of foods, can- ning, jelly-making, pickling, fall fruits and ways of serving, general structure and physiology of the body, meats, proper cuts, marketing, preparation and cooking flour, feasts, wheat bread-making, invalid cookery, and dietetics. G. G. ,OQ. MANUAL TRAINING. The manual training department of the High School was founded in the fall of 1905, with Mr. Elliott as the instructor. Great interest was taken in the work from the start and the department grew until now it can offer a very complete course in bench and lathe work. There is in the department a room fitted with a large band saw for scroll sawing, a combination cut-off and rip saw, a large power grindstone and a jointer. Another room con- taining sixteen benches fully fitted with the best of tools, while still another room has fifteen lathes run by electric motors. t The present enrollment is very large, all the benches are occupied during the periods assigned for bench work, some are even staying during the seventh period to get the work. The lathes, too, are all in use during the two periods assigned for lathe work. No doubt many more students could be enrolled if they could be accommodated. ln wood working, after they have made several joints satisfactorily, the students are al- lowed to make anything within reason, and as a result nicely finished desks, tables, tabarets, and settees are turned out by the score. ln turning the boys make anything from candle- sticks to baseball bats. 1 ATHLETICS ix I-I fff' xx j X I ,-4 1 W!3fCfSzemm,. ffm K' url- ,Q-ff-M Aw ...f- pn ff yi-A-au ..i,..L4 v ,YI K 'A M- Q I-L.. lljr' 17- -Avvfff-+ 1 , 49 -H - ...L n-4 6 41 F ,-J QC 2 E-1 O O B-1 i :il FooTBALL 1908 HORTLY after the opening of school it was decided, at a meeting of the boys, to have a foot- ball team again this season. There were about forty candidates for the team, some of MW whom had been practicing for several weeks prior to the beginning of the term. Three teams were formed and the scrimmages between them gave the boys some excellent practice. As quite a few of last year's men were back this season and as several strong football players had entered school this year it looked as though we were going to put a winning team in the field this year for sure. And a glance over the record of the games played will convince the most sceptical that it was a team of which any school ought to be justly proud. The opening game of the season was played at Savannah, Mo., on October 3rd, the boys played a fine game winning from the Savannah High School by a score of 6 to 0. This game' showed that the defense was just a little weak but that by hard practice this could be remedied. The next game was played against the Maryville Normals, at Maryville, on October Io. As the men up-country weighed on an average of 180 pounds, and had had a great deal of experience in the game, we see no disgrace in a defeat of IO to 0. On October I7ll1, the team played on the home ground against the team from the Oregon High School. Inasmuch as their team defeated ours by a big score last year, we took a rather vengeful de- light in trouncing them to the tune of 22 to 0. ' October 31st, our hoodoo, the team from the Central High School, of Kansas City, Mo., came up here with the intention of defeating us. The game was hotly contested from start to finish. The excellent head work of Forbes at quarter, the spectacular tacking of our ends, Richey and Quigley, and the grit of the whole team finally resulted in a victory for us by the small score of 2 to 0. Then indeed we were glad and, as some may remember, there certainly was a hot time in the old town that night. The next game was against the Chillicothe High School, on their grounds on November 7th. The boys left for Chillicothe Friday morning and reached there about noon, after being served a light luncheon they hired a bus and rode out to the grounds. The game was rather rough, but it looked as though we would win until in the second half one of the Chillicothe men managed to get the ball through an off side kick by our half-back and run the length of the' field for a touch down. They kicked goal, making the score 6 to 5 in their favor. Our fellows were unable to score again in the few minutes of play that were left. The last game of the season was played at Topeka, against the High School of that place. Owing to the fact that our strong half-back, Ege, was suffering from a fractured collar-bone and that their men outweighed ours considerably we suffered defeat at their hands by a score of 16 to 0. Such was the football season of the fall of 1908. It was not a season resplendent with great victories but, on the other hand, if you will notice, our team suffered no overwhelming defeats, even though all of the games were played with only the strongest teams in this section of the country. But, though not in itself a thing of exceptional glory, this past season serves as a prophecy of an uncon- querable football team for the season of the autumn of 1909. GAMES PLAYED.

I AN AVERTED TRAGEDY HERE was an unusual and continued commo- tion in one corner of the Study Hall. In vain the dragon tried to identify it. Repeatedly she raised her eyes suddenly and cast Hery glances toward the quarter whence she was sure the noise, had proceeded, but each glance only revealed Kitty Donovan, Nell Waters and Letty Thompson with eyes studiously bent upon open books. Then the dragon would sigh and turn away, whereupon three luscious bits of creamy fudge were fur- tively devoured, three pairs of eyes exchanged mirthful glances, and tiny slips of paper passed between three mischievous girls. Latin and French were receiving only feigned attention that day. Nell's fudge was fam- ous, and what could be more absorbing than that supply so slyly concealed beneath her desk? Provisions exhausted, send more, quick, I'm starving, wrote Letty, then waited till the dragon was intent upon something at the desk before tossing the note lightly over to Nell. But alas! By an unlucky movement of her elbow, Kitty sent her geometry to the floor with a resounding crash which made the dragon start and turn just in time to see Nell deposit the de- sired fudge on Letty's desk. Miss Waters! called the dragon sharply, then as Nell looked up with an air of injured innocence, t'Come to the desk, she added. Nell obeyed. I want to know, demanded the dragon, what is the matter with you girls this morning? You have been giving me a great deal of trouble by your continued dis- order. What did you hand Miss Thompson a moment ago? Candy, confessed Nell, I- That will do,', said the dragon coldly. You may all three report to the office. 'Kitty picked up the fateful geometry, and she and Letty followed Nell. Slowly and shamefacedly the three decended the stairs. The other two were contrite and almost tearful, but Kitty was silent and thoughtful. 'tWish I'd never made the old fudge, growled Nell. Whold ever have thought we'd have gotten into all this? Oh dearln wailed Letty. Isn't it dreadful? I never was so ashamed before. And they say Professor johnson is terribly strict about eating in school, he hates it almost as much as he does loafing in the halls, and being late in the morning. I know once last year Ada and Helen had some crackers in History class and were eating them when he slipped in to visit the class, and saw them, and they had a terrible time. What do you suppose he'll do to us. Kitty's face suddenly brightened. He won't do anything, she announced calmly. 'WVhy, what do you mean?l' gasped Nell. t'Never mind, Kitty answered. Leave everything to me, and don't question anything I do. But how-? began Letty increduously. I've a plan, answered Kitty. Here, Nell give me what's left of that fudge. The principal was not in the office when they ar- rived there, so the girls sat and waited. A 'tOh I know he'll do something awful, moaned Letty. 'fWish he'd hurry up and come onf' added Nell, Its getting worse every minute. Only Kitty sat calmly humming, with the box of fudge in her hand 'til the door opened and Professor johnson entered. I-le glanced in surprise at the three girls, and Letty and Nell sat shivering with fearful apprehension. Kitty rose, smiling, and opened the box in her hand. Nell made some perfectly lovely fudge yesterday, Professor johnson, she said, Won't you have some? The other two girls gasped faintly, and the principal looked surprised. Oh do help yourself, begged Kitty. Its deli- cious, the more you eat the more you want kind, you know, I'm going to make some tomorrow, she went on, as he accepted the proffered dainty. I really think mine is better, if anything, than Nell's. You see, she only puts two cups of milk and I put two and a half, and that makes it lots nicer. We're going to leave this here for you, and may we come tomorrow, when Ihave mine, and pay you another visit? Certainly, responded the principal, smiling. This is delicious, I'm very much obliged, so good of you to think of me. Oh, we're glad you like it, but you'll like mine bet- ter, I know, laughed Kitty. Well good bye, we must be going now, and the three left the oliice. Mercy! gaspedl Nell, outside. How did you ever think of it? Well, I got the three of us into the scrape, by dropping this hateful old geometry just at the crucial moment, so it was my duty to get us out of it, an- swered Kittyf, The only question now, said Letty, is how are we going to get back to Study Hall without a pass from Prof. johnson. Kitty stopped short. Goodness! she said faintly. I never once thought of that. How stupid! We'll simply have to go back and confess, sighed Nell. Kitty seized her suddenly by the arm. Stay, rash maiden! she exclaimed, dramatically. Lead not yourself and us into the mouth of destruction! Here in my hand I hold a talisman that is proof against all such evils as you now fear. She tapped her geom- etry mysteriously. So do but desist from your lamen- tations- fNell was laughingju-and the power which thus far-- Oh Kitty, how can you joke about anything so serious? reproached Letty. Because I am perfectly sure of my ground, now, dearest, answered Kitty. 'fYou're ingenious, I must confess, continued Nell, but how is a geometry going to help us at pres- ent? Simplest thing in the world, rejoined Kitty, rap- idly turning the pages. If only I haven't-oh us, here it is, she concluded, drawing forth a small slip of paper. What on earth? chorused the others. Nothing but a pass with Prof. johnson's signature inscribed thereon, answered Kitty. He signed it for me the other morning, so I could go into Miss Green's room without going way up stairs to my first period room, and then the bell rang before I got to Miss Green's door, so I just put the pass in here and forgot all about it until now. You all just put your names on it, and everything will be all right. VVell, I wonder if there's anything you can't think of? exclaimed Letty admiringly. Now we'll proceed on our way rejoicing, Kitty said. And do try to look unconcerned, so the dragon won't suspect. Letty and Nell heroically followed instructions, and calm and smiling Kitty laid the pass on the dragon's desk. X- -X- -X- 96 X- -K 96 True to her word, Kitty next day appeared laden with a liberal quantity of fudge. This, she said, designating a neat box, is for Prof. johnson, 'fand this, her eyes twinkling- for the dragon- What? exclaimed Nell. ' - Where do we come in? inquired Letty. 'fAnd this, continued Kitty calmly, is for us. Come with me to take the dragon her share. I made it for a peace offering, she explained, en route to the abode of the dragon. That lady was astonished, not to say pleased, when the three made known their errand. Dear girls! she murmured, when they had gone, N and she was partaking of the treat. I'm glad Profes- sor johnson wasn't severe! PEGGY PARSONS, '10, GETTING EDUCATION. QWith apologies to XfVallace Irwin.j VVhen first we went to High School our mentality was rough, - T'was filled with mathematics and other useless stuff. XVe didn't know a football from a pumpkin, so, of course, Neglected education filled us quickly with remorse, Till we learned the locomotive yell and made the welkin hoarse. ' Oh, we learn alot at High School, at High School, at High School, There are some necessary stunts all earnest students try, Any chap who lingers there, sir, has no hayseed in his hair, sir, For liberal education thrives at St. joe High. We learn to push men over and dash madly down the field, It fills us with a pride no Greek or science e'er could yield, And every budding athlete knows there is a mighty charm In galloping, hung round with men, the ball beneath your arm, NVhile rooter to your rivals yell: Back, back unto your farm!,' For we learn a lot at High School, at High School, at High School, No scoffer at our trainers can wink a scornful eye, , We feel the stinging whack, sir, of our coach upon our back, sir, When learning to play football at St. joe High. VVe've a modern rooting section that no college could surpass If any games we lose it will not be for lack of gas - And certainly cheers us when the score is 0 to 8, To hear our loyal comrades yell, Go on! your team work 's great! Until some lad, spectacular, wins laurels for his pate. For we learn a lot at High School, at High School, at High School, VV e learn to drop-kick, tackle, sprint and soon may learn to fly. And when the games go right, sir, we have bon-fires all night, sir, A-getting education up at St. joe High, '11 Ctms. XY. Hr:N11R1clqsoN, M. IH., Prop. G. C. PARK, Manager. R. A.
