YELL- History of Seniors--1914 N the fall of 1910 a merry band of Freshmen entered the spacious halls of the Chariton High School. Little they knew what was lying in wait for them. But, lol they soon came to realize that marching was an im- portant thing, when they were all brought into the assembly at noon and taught how to march and cross at the landings. Each Freshman was very glad to note that they would be Seniors in 1914. Here we are, SEN1ORSl The ever-eventful year of our eyes has arrived and we are enjoying it. Some may ask what we did-the two years between Freshmen and Seniors. During the Sophomore year many teachers told us how much we knew. Geometry happened to be our strong point. Toward the end of the year, as a reward for our good behavior, our Principal gave his consent for a party which ended the year well and we were fully determined to be better juniors than we had been Sopho- mores. As juniors we were certainly deserving ofthe name. Many showed signs of domesticity and joined the Normal class. On October first, joseph entertained the class and what a time we had, later going to the county fair. Then the time came to organize, a word that sounded like music to our ears. Stageitis broke out among the class and Dr. Lukens suggested a play. This needs no explanation for Charley,s Aunt was one grand success. Of course, along with the winter came the snow, and with our spirits aroused, everyone was determined to have a bob-ride. So on Friday night at seven-thirty, we met at Stantons and by eight were on our way to Beem's. Coming home was the enjoyable ride, one bob turned over-and no one ever mentioned the time we arrived in town. Toward the end of the year the Seniors wished the town people to know that they were Seniors in truth so they unfurled a pennant on the court-house tower. This did not hang long for we juniors, who were always equal to any emergency, deftly took it down. The Seniors were greatly excited and then in turn suspended a junior dummy from the water-tower. This was as short lived as the pennant. This departing class made many more attempts but all in vain. The Nlayor, although not a member of the school board, came forward and kindly told us that this work must be stopped. Aheml When the south row of seats was vacated, we re- joiced at the thought of filling them the next fall. We were so very glad that we gave the Seniors a reception at the home of Mary Foster. Each guest was favored with an American Beauty rose, our class flower. We have now climbed every step of the ladder and stand at the top on the Senior round which overlooks our High School career and are ready to take the step into the world. Our parties are still yet to come. Have we given our play? Certainly. That came before the holidays. Thompson of the Varsity could not have had a better presentation. We now leave our places to the juniors and our name as an ideal for the many classes of the C. H. S. -Vivian I. Conrad. Class Song Come let us sing old High School's pra Come let us sing of bygone days, Sing of the days We went to class, Sing of the days that have gone past. And to the heavens raise our song, For now We make a mighty throng And tho We pass life's open gates, VVe'll not forget our high school mates. CHORUS: C. H. S. Oh! C. H. S. Oh! may your glory never die, C. H. S. Oh! C. H. S. Oh! may your glory never die. Sing of our Profs and teachers true, Sing now a verse for Lukens too, Sing, and his name to breezes fling That all his friends may also sing. Ours is the Hag of scarlet and black, Of truth and right thege is no lack, Long may our high school virtues hold, That here today by us are told. i Senior Poem 1914, doll your hat, VVe are Seniors, think of that, VVe are sure there,s been no humdrum, For to our school we sure have come some. Mr. Lukens-do you get that? He's the man behind the bat. And our lessons had to come, For he is the man who explained them some. Lukens and Rae and dear lkliss Fiekel, Because we leave them does not tickle, Some must Work and some must roam, But Charlton High School We'll always call home Class Yells Rah! Rah! Rah! 19 Rah!

The history of the noble class of 1915 will have to be short, concise and to the point, for We are just nearing the end of our budding age, namely the Junior year. Up to this time the Seniors have been domi- neering toward us, designated as Under Class- menf' They have tried to make us feel cheap, downtrodden and, in fact, the most worthless substance on the earth. But in spite of this oppression We, the honorable class of 1915, have risen above our surroundings and are fast mak- ing a name for ourselves in High School life. Cn January 23, 1914, we had our first class meeting, a most Wonderful and momentous occasion. January 27th we elected our officers: President, Edwin Curtis, Vice-president, Kenneth Bowng Secretary, Vera Noleng Treas- urer, Nlargaret Fosterg chose our class colors and selected our play, Mr. Hummingtopf' In our brief career, We have done our best for athletics, and have scorned the idea ofstudying, not Wishing to appear as bookwormsg and We have slid'by all contests with the greatest ease.

Some of us will be powerful in athletics, and some clever in dramatics, and a few, We hope, brilliant in studies, but all of us will be Willing to make the last four years the best ones.

The Alumni editors were sadly surprised, when a retrospective view of the Alumni Register disclosed the fact, that out of 582 graduates only about one-sixth have remained in Chariton, and taken part in making up the business and civic life of our community. It also dis- closes that while our High School has not, as yet, given to the country a president, a senator, or a governor, we are still proud of the fact that many of our fellow gradu- ates are occupying positions of trust and honor in the various walks of life. They are to be found in the doc- tors' oflice, in the court room, in the school, in the banks and other places of business, as well as in the pulpit. A far greater number, however, will be found at the .head of the greatest of all American institutions, the home. The hand that rocks the cradle rules the nation. This retrospective view also discloses the fact that in the -1-.B-.-.dfi 33:1 df N . 1 earlier days of the school, by far the greater number of graduates were young ladies. The last decade, however, shows a decided change, and now the proportion is easily a third young men and some classes one half, which is a most potent argument for the affirmative in the argu- ment, Does it pay to educate?', livhen the great captains of industry are in search of help they will always give the preference to the young man or woman with a diploma from a high school or college. VVith this thought in mind, we say, let us con- tinue to educate, for '4The heights by great men reached and kept Wiere not attained by sudden flightg But they, while their companions slept, Were toiling upward in the nightf' fVailPf1zirk CLASS OF 1878 Susie Kubitshek-Blallory Harry Woodward Lizzie Davidson-Smythe 'Jessie Waynick Lee Russell Bettie Burns CLASS OF 1879 Lillian Brant-Butts Lydia Hollinger-Welch Clara Hollinger-Culbertson Nellie McCormick-Wormley Jessie Mallory-Thayer 'Jessie St. John-Meyriek Bertha llartin Charley Thorpe Helen Temple-Parsons Bert Wilson CLASS OF 1880 J.

It was the evening before Thanksgiving and only an hour before the last train had left Benson, carrying with it a bevy of happy girls and leaving behind only those who had no homes in which they might spend their vacation. Con- stance Wainright was one of the few who was to remain at the school, and as the last whistle blew and the hubbub of excitement ceased she quietly sought her own room, for at this time she sadly missed her own home which only a few years ago had been broken up by the sudden death of her mother. Since then, this boarding school had been the only home she had known, for her father's extensive busi- ness had taken him abroad. She seated herself on the broad window-ledge in her beautiful room. In her lap lay an unfolded letter from her father and in her hand she held her usual liberal allowance which he had sent with the unpleasant news that he would not return to the States even as soon as he expected. Feeling very unhappy, Constance sat gazing mood- ily out of her window, not at anything in particular, until a very peculiar person attracted her attention. It was the figure of a girl apparently of her own age. Everything about her gave evidence of a rude country life. Her faded blue dress was far too short for one of her age, and from under her gray tam-o'-shanter hung two heavy braids of coarse red hair. Her only wrap was a short brown jacket several sizes too small from which her long slim arms protruded. Mittens covered her large red hands one of which grasped firmly a huge cotton umbrella and the other an old-fashioned carpet bag. Constance watched her closely as she approached the building but her thoughts soon returned to her father in the far-away country. An unusual noise in the hall followed by a timid knock at the door, aroused her from her reverie. Upon opening the door this strange person confronted her. At first Constance was inclined to laugh, but upon closer observance immediately decided it was not the thing to do, for the troubled, anxious expression back of the many freckles aroused her sympathy. Please, ma'am, can you tell me where room sixty-four is? came in a high-pitched voice from the frightened girl. But as her eyes fell upon Constance, she felt that she had indeed found a friend, and her manner became more easy. Constance immediately showed her the room, and noticing her hesitation, said, Is this going to be your room, and may I stay and help you straighten it up? Ifd just love to, and I can fix things up real cozy. Most of the girls have gone home for their Thanksgiving vacation, and I was feeling so lonesome when you knocked at the door.', All this was said in one breath but it gave the girl sufficient time to size Constance up. She noticed the slight, graceful form, the light wavy hair ar- ranged so becomingly about her pretty face, and the innocent look in her blue eyes. Her clothes, too, impressed the girl. She was about to refuse the kind offer, when it was repeated. If youire sure you want to, I'd like to have you, for I don't know much about them things, and I want to see the teacher afore long, so I kin get ready for my lessons as soon as they begin. She seemed to have gained confidence in herself and assisted by Constance, set to work unpacking her scant wardrobe. All the time Constance was chatting gaily. Since we're on the same floor we may as well become friends. My name is Constance Wainwright, whatls yours? It's Eliza Perkins, and I'm from Grundyville. I'm going to wash dishes and help in the kitchen to pay my tuition here at school. Ilm goin' to git all the larnin I kin, and then I'm goin' to teach the district school and help ma and Bill pay off the morgage on the farm, and help clothe the young 'uns and lam 'em something. I haint had no pa since I kin remember. Squire Pinkerton, he's got a mor- gage on our place and he wouldn't hold off a minute, if we hain't got the money. Like as not he'd turn us out and take all the furniture, I But, Bill he's a workin' hard, but it takes a sight 0' money to keep seven kids in clothes. HMy, I should think it would, laughingly said Constance, '4And who is Bill? ls he the hired man? Nope, we hain't able to hire no man. Bill, he's my big brother. He's nigh on to seventeen. And so the conversation went on, until Constance knew the whole history of Grundyville. They had worked while they talked, and had the room about fixed up, that is, they had the carpet bag unpacked and things put in place, for Eliza Perkins had brought no decorations for her room. By this time the afternoon had drawn to its close. Miss Mont- gomery had summoned Eliza to her office, that she might assign to her the duties which were to be taken up the following morning. Constance bade her new friend good-night, and left her wondering all the time how she would be received by the rest of the girls. She was certain that Eliza had much to learn, and remembered the fun- loving, mischievous girls with whom she would come in contact, she felt that for a time her school-life would be far from pleasant. Everything being so strange to Eliza, her slumbers were rather disturbed, and she awoke early the next morning. With eager yet timid steps, she descended to the main Hoor where she was to begin her work. She found the cook a very pleasant woman, and every- thing went well for some time. At last the breakfast gong sounded and Eliza's heart sank within her at the sou-nd of the girlish voices as they approached the dining-room. Each girl took her accustomed place. Miss Mont- gomery in her sedate manner presided at the head of the table. Then remembering that Eliza had not yet been introduced to the girls she called her into the room. As Eliza entered the room, several suppressed giggles were heard, but the climax was reached when she was presented as Eliza Perkins. Kitty Gordon, the ringleader, stuffed the napkin in her mouth and was suddenly seized with a violent fit of coughing. Eliza, knowing that she was the cause of their smiles, became more awk- ward than ever. Her hands and feet seemed to be forever in her way. Her face burned and she stammered over every word she uttered. She did not again gain her self-confidence until she caught the sympathetic look of Constance and Miss Montgomery. It may be said, truthfully, that breakfast was a failure and the girls were as much relieved as Eliza when the meal was ended. Miss Perkins, or Practical Perk, as Kitty already styled her, was the one subject of conversation for the rest of the day, but for- tunately Eliza was busy in the kitchen, and so escaped further hu- miliation. Dinner, however, was much more of a success than breakfast had been. For Miss Montgomery and Constance were both found to be true friends of Eliza's. , This being Thanksgiving day, there were no lessons to be re- cited. Constance busied herself with her books and her letters, and the afternoon passed quickly away. The rest ofthe girls, however, were assembled in Kitty Gordon's room discussing Practical Perk. They could see only the funny side of the question then, and all plotted together some mischief which was to be carried out that evening. After supper, Eliza went to her room. She felt just a little dis- appointed that she had not found opportunity to talk to Constance, but contented herself with the several friendly smiles and nods which she had received from her. She sat thinking of the strange things that had happened that day, when footsteps were heard outside and a knock on the door. When she opened the door she was surprised to see the crowd of girls whom she had met in the dining-room. She missed only one face, Constance Wainwright's. Eliza's first im- pulse was to snub the girls, but Kitty's smile soon won her over and she invited them into her room. All came trooping in, finding seats on the bed and on the windows. Thus far the plan was carried out. In answer to their many questions, Eliza found herself talking on the subject in which she was most interested, ma and Bill on the farm. She became so interested in her talk that many smiles and giggles from the girls passed unnoticed. After they, too, had heard the whole history of Cvrundyville, the girls departed, not to their own rooms but again to Kitty's room where they reviewed the events ofthe evening and awaited anxiously for the time to come when they could complete their plans. Poor, tired Eliza climbed into bed feeling much happier, and was sleeping peacefully when she was awakened by the rattling of her door and someone calling angrily, 'fhiiss Perkins, why hasn't our lunch been brought to us? '4Lunch, thought Eliza, was I dreamingfn Then, as the question was repeated more fiercely, she bounded from her bed and Hung open the door. There stood Belle Overton Cfor she had been elected to carry out this planj in her dressing gown and slippers, looking angrily at poor Eliza. VVhy, Miss Montgomery didn't say nothin' about any lunch,', said Eliza innocently. Here Belle's courage almost failed her, but, remembering her plan, she hastily continued. Probably Kiiss Nlontgomery forgot it, she has been so busy today. lVe have been waiting for some time and it is a great deal later than usual. I suppose all the teachers are in bed, but if you are real quiet you needn't disturb them. just bring up some of the cold turkey, a dish of cranberry sauce and sev- eral pieces of pumpkin pief' Eliza couldn't understand why they should wish a lunch at night, but, supposing it was the usual way, started down the stairs. Finally, in the dark, she found her way into the pantry and heaped a tray with the good things. Going back was not so easy as going down for her hands were not free to feel the way and more than once she struck her bare toe against a sharp corner. just as she started up the stairs, old Tom, the house-cat smelled the good things and determined to share the feast. With a loud miauw he sprang up the steps behind her, striking her bare heel with his sharp claw. This was too much. Down went the tray, pumpkin pie and cranberry sauce all in a heap and up went Eliza with a shriek and a bound. The entire household aroused from their slumbers, rushed to the scene of the disaster, and, for once, Miss Montgomeryls anger seemed to get the best of her. Of course, the blame was first laid on Eliza, but soon the whole scheme was dis- covered and the culprits were told that their punishment would come later. It was a sad, homesick little Eliza that crept into bed, wish- 0 ing with all her heart that she were back on the farm with Bill and ma. For several days after this adventure, Eliza was left alone. Once in a while she would have time to chat with Constance, but this was not often. After a time, however, the girls forgot the mischief they had caused, and again began to taunt Eliza. Several times, as she passed beneath a window, she would suddenly be drenched with water, but upon no occasion could she discover who the tormentor was. One day, as she was making her second trip to her room for dry clothes she encountered Constance Wainwright. After listening to her story and her threats to tell the teacher, Constance said, Eliza, why don't you turn the tables, and pay those girls back in their own coin.'l Eliza thought for a moment and then said she believed she would try it. The next day after finishing her work, she retired to her own room, taking with her a large pail of cold water. There she waited the tittering in the lower halls, which always warned her of the girls' approach. She had not long to wait, however, something which sounded like Kittyls laugh was heard beneath the window, and then splash went the water clear to the lower hall. Loud exclamations were heard, followed by a painful silence, and wondering how the girls were taking it, Eliza tiptoed to the window and peeped down below. But, lo and behold! Instead of seeing Kitty and the other girls as she expected, there was Miss Xlontgomery, Miss Nlarkey and several of the other instructors of the school. VVhatshould she do? Her first thought was to dash madly down the stairs and away, anywhere, just to escape the wrath of the teachers. But upon second thought she decided to brave the storm, so with shaking knees and sinking heart she descended to the oflice. It was a tearful little Eliza that poured out the whole disagreeable story and it was a much wiser Eliza that left the office with Nliss Montgomeryls encouraging words still ringing in her ears. Thanks to the teachers, the girls never heard of this little inci- dent but they teased and tormented her until the poor girl at last decided to go back to the farm. Not even Constance could change her mind, and the next day fthe last day of vacationj she was going to tell the teacher that she could no longer endure the pranks of the foolish girls and must return home. On the next day, the girls were very much excited, for the other girls were to return to school and there would be many things to talk about. Kitty and Belle were going to the station to meet the morning train, but, as usual, Kitty was late in getting ready and as they were leaving the house the train whistled. The door closed with a bang and the girls started, tripping lightly across the porch. As they started down the steps, Kitty's foot slipped on the icy stone and the next moment she was lying at the bottom, the blood gushing from an ugly gash in her wrist. Eliza, at work in the kitchen, heard the screams and ran to the doorl I Q Belle was too frightened to do anything, and Kitty had fainted, for her ankle too, was badly sprained. Seizing the dish towel, which was thrown over her shoulder, Eliza quickly tied a small knot and prodded it into the wound, thus stopping the How of blood. Then gathering the unconscious Kitty in her strong arms she carried her to her own roomg she bathed the swollen ankle until the doctor came to bind it up. As soon as the doctor had gone, Kitty called all the girls into her room, and Belle and Constance were sent hurrying to the kitchen. They returned dragging the awkward and blushing Eliza with them. We only know that Eliza Perkins did not return to her home on the farm but remained at Miss lXfIontgomery's board- ing school to be introduced to the other girls as Practical Perla indeed. -Laura Kzllar. 'SEQ' -W N559 'N ifif' ls- in irls f itsf o cu Q Imitations of IrVing's Style The Valley WAS rambling through the woods on one of those beautiful autumnal days, when I came upon a beautiful little valley. Lofty mountains towered on each side and as the fast-setting sun cast its rays upon them they seemed to become enveloped in a great cloud of gold. The many-colored leaves blended well with the glowing sunset and the rainbow-tinted sky. The little brook seemed to have ceased its laughing and rippled along in accordance with the quiet beauty of the valley. I sat down on a little green knoll to admire this wonderfully- wrought art of nature. The sun sank lower and lower and all was still except the faint rustle of the leaves as they fluttered through the air. I remained here for an hour or more and was just rising to go when I heard in the distance the faint sound of a voice. Greatly surprised, as I thought I was the only one in the valley, I looked around to see to whom the voice belonged. There came an odd- looking man down the mountain side. His weatherbeaten coun- tenance harmonized well with his queer, outlandish dress. Then, almost before I had realized his presence, he disappeared into the ground at the foot of a tree. The whole valley seemed to have suddenly changed. Another little fellow came down the mountain side and disappeared into the ground at the foot of the tree. lXIy curiosity was of course aroused, so I examined the tree. To my surprise I found a small door of bark on the trunk. Once inside this tree you could descend a ladder which brought you to an ample cave. Here I did not hesitate but reascended the ladder to fresh air and home. -Lacy Lanning. The Old Church HEN one comes to the door of this church he is met by an old sexton, very gray and weatherbeaten. The old man conducts you through a small passageway and on into the main part of the church, where he leaves you to wander as you please for an hour or so. At the pipe organ is a young girl playing-practicing for the church service. The music seems to fill the whole room, now low and sweet, now high and penetrating. It seems as if you were riveted to the floor. You stand still and do not move. The girl stops playing, closes the organ and is out of the room before you are fully out of the trance. If you could only catch her you would ask her to play all the rest of the day. Since the music has ceased you turn your attention to other things. The room is of ample size and contains so many seats that you wonder if there are enough people in the little village to occupy all of them. N From this room you go into a much smaller one which shows the effects of long use. Here are found the portraits of the elders of the church, and also the founders. xThey are very stern-looking men and you hope at once that their posterity will not look so cross, you think, too, how you would like to be as great and good. On you wander to the gallery. Here is grandeur, indeed, The carvings on the wallsare so elaborate and massive that you feel very small and insignificant. The walls are tinted gold, wrought with silver. Here are chairs arranged in order, row after row reaching from one end of the gallery to the other. A solemn stillness pervades the whole place and holy reverent thoughts steal through your mind. While you are standing, thinking thus, you are imterrupted by the old sexton, who tells you it is time for you to leave. You look around you. The sun is setting and the room is filled with mystic shadows. The old man locks the doors and it seems as if you were locked from a heaven. , -Marie Rory. A Well-Known Valley N one of the remote counties of England is located the beautiful valley of the Kanawha, with the rich wood- land spreading over the surrounding territory. On entering the valley one sees the ample mountains bordering the entire western side, sheltering a beautiful bosom of country. On the opposite side are impending cliffs, overshadowed by green bowers, through which the sun casts its magical hues upon the placid scene beneath. As one approaches farther into the valley, he sees the mountain stream between the winding ridges of mountains and now and then a cliff more jagged and wild looking than the rest. In the midst of the solitary still- ness one hears the voices of birds from among the tree- tops, blending with the murmur of the tiny mountain rivulet. In every direction there is a continuity of scene, wrought by nature into deep delineations of beauty. The high cliffs have shed fragments upon the velvety green carpet beneath, giving it a mottled appearance. The majestic course ofthe stream can be traced for a distance of half a mile, now and then losing itself in the blue high- lands. Having now approached near the end of the valley, the observer is tempted to look down a deep mountain glen which opens near the extreme end. In this secluded place, wild, lonely and shagged-scarcely lighted by the reflected rays of the sun, the walls of stone look gray and weatherbeaten, while over all broods a magic stillness and peace. -Either Anderson. r The Organ Grinder CA Sketch? T was a hot, dry July afternoon and there was not a single stir among the leaves on the trees, when a hand- organ man and his monkey were seen making their way up the street, stopping to play in front of the houses. He was a foreigner, an Italian perhaps, as his dark skin, black mustache, with long turned-up ends, coal black hair, and black beady eyes indicated. Certain it was that he was very hot and tired, as with each step he lagged more and more. On he came, with his back bowed and bent from the weight of the heavy organ. Of course the monkey wore a red jacket and cap, and as the tune came he turned somersaults, trying to do his best, it seemed, to keep up the show. Then out would come his greedy, skinny little hand for money, like a miser grasping for gold. How ridiculous it allwas, the merry tune, the hopeless air of the grinder, the antics of the weazened little monkey, all for one purpose-to make money. hly little sister gave him a penny and after playing a while the hand-organ man with his instrument and monkey on his stooped back, Went on his hot and tire- some journey. -Fern Grzfir. Winning His Letter HEY swept down the field in harmonized action, crouching, springing forward, scattering, coming to- gether,strikingthis way and that, pausing, moving slowly, now again with more speed. Tall broad-shoul- dered boys, strong and amply able to withstand physical taxation-the Northwestern University eleven practic- ing their signals. Behind these came the coach, watching every move of the school's football organization, looking for oppor- tunity to make the running of plays work with even more smoothness. After the coach came the substitutes, hands and heads hidden in their sweaters to keep off the November breeze. Along the sidelines, just behind them all, swung Nat Rogers, on crutches. Nat watched every move of the eleven. No afternoonis workout was complete unless he was on the field. Of all the Northwestern students, no one had a greater interest in athletics than Nat. One day while on the field he said to himself, I've been in this school for three years and during that time I have tried in every way possible to win a letter, but the Athletic Association doesn't even look at me. Northwestern needed improvements. Not because material was lacking, but because over in Indiana they had turned out a football team that had outclassed every- thing it had come up against. Therefore it was up to the coach to put Northwestern in the best shape possible and to find new combinations of plays, which he was try- ing to do. Every day, while practicing, Nat watched every move and in his mind, though no one knew it, he was planning on something new. About two days before the game the coach gave a little talk to the football squad. It contained the follow- ing, You are the best team that ever wore cleats. You are going up against the toughest proposition we have ever tackled. You know what it is to win this game and you know what it means to lose it. VVe have a good attack. You have lots of plays, and a good punter if we get hard pressed. I-le stopped and outside sounded a familiar, dull tapping. You have two plays that are the best I have ever seen. We'll save them until the last. If they don't work-well-J' he ended abruptly. In a case like that, broke in a voice, try thisf' Nat shoved a piece of paper toward the coach. He looked at it a long time, then looked at Nat. Where'd you get that? he demanded. HI've been working on it two weeksf' said Nat. Do you like it? Like it! said the coach, VVell I should say so. Put on your shoes, boys, We are going to practice this play this evening. Wle must use it against Indiana. Nat did not do much sleeping that night nor the next, but thought of his play all the time-how it would Work, if it would work, and especially about a letter which he wished he owned. The day came. The teams rushed onto the field amid the shouts from the crowds which had assembled. They ran through signals. Seated on the sidelines was Nat Rogers watching every charge of the men as they hurried along. The noise fell, the elevens took their positions, the Whistle sounded and Tndiana's captain sent the pigskin soaring. Jones, the right halfback, received it on the fifteen yard line. He plunged forward but was down before he had gone a dozen yards. They tried all the places on the line for weaknesses but were finally forced to punt. The ball was blocked and Indiana got it. The very next play they kicked the ball between the goal posts and the score stood three to nothing. As they kicked again the fellows charged with a vicious look on their faces. Then the game settled to a grinding tug. Neither one could gain ground and for three full-quarters the ball remained in the middle of the field. Play after play the coach had planned failed on every attempt to use them. Then Nat became restless. They were forming for his play. Over to the right shifted the backfield, close to the crouching ends. The opposing men, quick to see, shifted with them to support the line. The ball was snapped back and the quarter, stepping to one side, made as if to pass it to Richmond, the fullback. Richmond, led by one of the halves, plunged into the line but was downed by the other men. For awhile it seemed as if the play had been made there but the quarter still held the ball. Then out of the tangle came one of the ends. To him the ball was passed and around the lines he charged. The opposing ends rushed in to down the man with the ball, but it was too late. Eluding his attack, Northwestern's end man crossed the goal for a touchdown. On the sidelines the crowds cheered wildly, especi- ally the one who had devised the play, Nat. Through the crowd three men came toward him-the coach, the team captain, and the president of the Athletic Associa- tion. Before he knew it a sweater was pulled down over his head and when he looked down, on his chest against the field of blue shown the white ends of Northwestern. It's mine,', said the captain, you keep it ,till yours gets here. -Hugh I. Ifgenfrilz. Father Time's Advice As Father Time records them, A The years go gliding past- Each prolonging the life-long story As he turns his huge hourglass. The laststream of sand has fallen Wlith its yellow, golden gleam, And with its memorable glories Of the year one nine fourteen. As the old man sees us learning He wipes the tears from his eyes, Then looking down upon us He gives us this advice- 'Four years T've tested your knowledge And now will set you all free To take up your place in the ranks of men In the strife of the world you see. 'So go, my young warriors, to battle And take up your place in the fight This motto so true, I propose to you: Strive for the best and the right. 'For this your teachers have taught you To walk in the path ever so straight They have given to you a strong coat of mail That evil should not penetrate. t L6 CC KC CG C4 You will find this path long and narrow Tis strewn with the bodies of slain YVho have attempted the laurels of life And found the struggle in vain. If you follow, 'twill lead you to fortune, Forsake it, and life will not hold For you all that is noblest and fairest, But the knowledge of failures untold. So now you must guide well your footsteps Let not evil enter your mind, Then at last as reward for your labor Your laurels you surely will find. YVith the armor of honesty gleaming And the banners of hope unfurled, I place you in ranks with millions of men To push on the progressing world. The sands of the hourglass have fallen Your time has now all expired, So go and give to this loud-crying world The knowledge that here you've acquired. Forget not this place of your learning As you travel o'er lifels rugged ways And remember those golden glories VVhich crowned all your high school days. 7 -Macao Richmond ll .ax FN 1,5532 22 -Q A t-:--- - w ' Z-Z., 4 D 1313-vw- -- U1 Senior Class Play THOMPSON or THE VARSITY Phil Thompson. . .

The reception rooms were beautifully decorated, one in the Senior colors, Purple and VVhiteg the other in the Junior colors, Scarlet and Black. Large bunches of American Beauty roses and ferns also formed part of the decorations. hflint frappe Was served throughout the evening. The color scheme was delightfully carried out through the luncheon which consisted of ice cream, cake, mints and salted nuts. American Beauty roses were given as favors. Athletic Association Entertains The Athletic Association entertained the football team at a reception, Saturday evening, October 18, at the home of hir. and Nfrs. Harry Foster. A delightful luncheon was served and the evening was spent in a jolly manner. Thanksgiving Dinner After the well-earned victory over the Simpson Freshmen on Thanksgiving day, Capt. Jones entertained his football team at a six o'clock dinner at his home on S. Grand street. Prof. Lukens, Rev. Aszman and lklascot Ream were also guests. The tables and living-room were prettily decorated with red and white carnations. lN1rs. E. S. Jones, assisted by lXflrs. Foster and Bliss Rae, served the five-course dinner. It was a thoroughly happy and cheerful time that the boys will not forget and in the same hearty Way in which they had played the games through the seasons, the boys declared Kirk as good a host as he is a captain, and that lN1rs. Jones was all right! Football Banquet, February 1 1 , 19 14 Professor Lukens delightfully entertained the football boys ata banquet attheWhite Front Cafe, complimentaryto their Winning of the South Central Iowa football pennant.

Captainjones at the beginning of the season had a wealth of backlield material and a line composed of five veterans. There were in reality but two holes in the line to be filled, these being the end positions formerly held by Curtis of 1913 and Harley Carter. The season started with the Knoxville game, 'which ended with a score of 12 to 0, showing the defensive strength of the team, although Chariton should have been able to have run up a higher score. The week fol- lowing, we met Corydon on their own field, and defeated them with a score of 18 to 0. The third game of the season was with lndianola High. Hard luck and lack of judgment lost us the game, and we suffered our first and only defeat of the season at the hands of Indianola High School with a score of 6 to 0. At the end of two weeks we were ready to meet our rivals, the Albia High School team. This game was played against eleven on the field, a coach acting as head lineman and a hypnotized referee, nevertheless the Chariton team was victorious, winning the game by a score of 14 to O. After another interval of two weeks, we met one of our strongest opponents, the Graceland College team. They outweighed us at least twenty pounds to the man, however that made no difference as can be seen from the score, 8 to 0, in Chariton's favor. A week later we met poor old Knoxville, who tried so hard but to no avail, the game ending with a score of 28 to O for Chariton. Our next game was not played as scheduled, since Corydon failed to appear and so forfeited the game. Our Thanksgiving game was played at Chariton with Simpson College Freshmen, who were considered the fastest team of Freshmen sent out by Simpson in the last five years. They were headed by Captain Traub, one admired by all Chariton football men. The game, the first quarter, showed the weight and training of the Freshmen, when they brought Chariton within two yards of their goal, but they failed to score. ln the second quarter Chariton scored a safety and in the third quarter Simpson scored six on a touchdown but failed to kick goal. Chariton then got the fighting spirit, scored a touchdown and the game ended with the score Chariton 9, Simpson 6. All the men on the team played to the limit of their ability which showed they had the fighting spirit. CH men of this year are: Neil, Fuller, Swanson, Flatt, Culbertson, Miller, Curtis, McGinnis, Hess, Rich- mond, Deo Fuller, Piper, Artley and Jones. The prospects of next year are not so bright as they were this year. The loss of a backfield composed of two four-year and one three-year men, of Swanson, Hess, Fuller, Flatt, Miller and Culbertson is a severe blow to the line. lf these vacancies are filled with such leaders as Artley their prospects are good. -Kirk fonaf. 1 I Our Captain KIRK JONES Captain Kirk Jones wound up his High School athletic career in a blaze of glory Thanksgiving day. It was a fitting close to the four years of service to his school in which he attained and rnerited popu- larity that is accorded few athletes. Jones, record as an athlete is second to no other High School student of Chariton as far as is known. He has been a mainstay on the football team, for three years serving as captain. During the seasons of nineteen-twelve and thir- teen. He proved conclusively that an athlete could be efficient and yet keep strictly within the rules. His service will be missed next year, but his record will be an inspiration to future high school athletes. ALVIN SYVANSON. Quiet and unassuming in manners, but fearfully aggressive in the line. Pike has well deserved all the credit that has been given him for four seasons at the position of right tackle. He was always a menace to the opposing team, charging through their lines and blocking with remarkable regularity. His timely opening of holes in the opponents' line caused many a touchdownfor Chariton, and caused many a defeat for the opposing team. Pike is also a mile-runner. Although he has never had a coach or trainer, last season he received a medal in the mile race from the Iowa City meet for third place, second medal in the lndianola meet, second medal at the Albin meet, and second medal at the Parsons College meet. C. H. S. could not lose a more valuable man than Pike, who leaves us this year. JOHN llizss. Hess at end, played spectacular football, he broke up interference like a veteran and fought like a demon from start to hnishg he also had marked ability for receiving forward passes. He practically defeated Knoxville High by himself, making sixty and forty-yard runs after receiving forward passes. Hess is another valuable man that Chariton loses this year. PIARRY FLATT. Playing at right end, Flatt surprised and delighted the Chariton rooters. In the Albia game he repeatedly broke through the interference and tackled his man. His speed made up for his lack of brawn, and had it not been for sub- stituting a man in lflattis position, we would have probably won the Indianola game also. ' DAYTON PIPER. Another halfback of C. H. S. who played consistent football, was Piper, who distinguished himself by making a touchdown against Corydon, a spectacular thirty-yard run. For clever dodging and ability to pick holes, he had no equal on the team. C. H. S. loses a valuable man in Piper. l 4. CJLIN KIILLIZR. One of the fastest men on the team was Kliller, the husky guard. He was always a dangerous man for the opposing team, charging through the line and blocking punts. His ability to open holes in the opponents'line added many yards to Chariton's gains. It is very unfortunate for C. H. S. that we lose X1iller's service for the next year. JOHN fXIcG1NN1s. 1 it is Mac proved to be one of the best linemen on the team, holding down a posi- tion of left tackle. His work of the ye. before made him a valuable man for the team this season. He was hand' pped most ofthe season, by injur- ies and could never be said to be ir Qwest form. Blac should have no trouble in holding down his posit? .ckle next season. n Curisizarsox. Cubby, playing atcenter, wasa valuable asset to the team, because of his knowledge of the importance of his position, his accuracy in passing the ball, and because of his aggressive endurance. He was always dependable, and playing for the second year on the team, he won his way into the hearts of the the Chariton rooters. lt is a deep source of regret that Cubby has repre- sented Chariton for the last time on the football field. KIACEO Ricnivtoxn. Richmond ranks among thc best line-plunging fullbacks Chariton has ever had. His ability to carry the ball on end-runs has made his playing the offensive and important factor in every game. His long punts and forward passes will long be remembered by the teams that faced C. H. S. It was through Richmond's sensational runs that Chariton defeated Simpson in the final and greatest game played by the C. H. S. last fall. VVe deeply regret that Richmond has played his last game with the C. H. S. .w Q? J THE OLD COUNTRY STORE. CLASS OF 1897 The first Dramatic Production by Chariton High School talent X!

ONIE with me for about a mile from my country home,and let me show you a very beautiful and cozyglen. A small, winding stream flows at the foot of a steep hill and makes it a very picturesque scene. Some large logs have fallen across the stream to serve as bridges. See the little fish playing among the rocks. Farther down the stream is a rock-riflie where the water makes a dreamy, bubbling sound. On the banks of the stream are numerous tiny bluebells, with white flowers intermingled. Farther up on the side of the hill are ferns and ln- dian turnips. Large ferns with long, graceful stems, smaller ones, and all among them the Indian turnip leaves. If you look closely you will often see a blossom. Some of them are almost brown and some have one white side. These and the ferns make a beautiful scene. A thick wood lies on every side of this glen except the east. Look closely and you will see the little squirrel running along in the shade of the trees, from one to another. Here the birds sing sweetly too, for this is their home and they fear no harm. Down on the sloping hillside, covered with little yellow dandelions, stands an old home and a few large Cottonwood trees. The wind which blows through the leaves almost makes them say, Come here and rest if you are tired! -Etta Ryun. Biography of Jack Frost CA Sketch? ACK Frost was born in North America, one day late in the fall. He was assassinated by Spring Weather at the first of the next year. Nlr. Frost left one son, Jack Frost, Jr., who made his appearance in public life early the next fall. He also left a very few friends to mourn his death. During his entire lifetime he was devoted to destroying plants. He began this business the very first night of his existence and did not change his occupation until his death. Jack, as he is commonly known, is well remembered by this neighborhood for destroying a great many house plants and vegetables. He did a few good deeds in his lifetime, however, among which were the painting of pictures on the windows for the benefit of the children. and driving away the intense heat of the summer. -R016 M. Gray. Chasing a Burglar BOBBY sat up very straight in bed. All was dark and still. Yes, he was sure somebody was coming down the hall. He held his breath and strained both ears to listen. Footsteps neared his room, then turned and started down the steps. Bobby was thinking, thinking hard. VVhy, if he captured this burglar what a hero hewould be. The morning papers would be full of it. He slipped quickly out of bed and glanced at the clock. lt was twenty-five minutes of two. He hurried down stairs. He was very awkward or excited, for he stumbled over a chair. Passing an open window, he heard the boughs of a great oak tree creaking and swinging in the wind. Nl know there was never such a dark night as this beforef, thought he. What if the burglar had a gun, he wished that he was back in bed. just then he saw something moving in white and forgot everything else. HI donlt want to be a herofi thought Bobby. Oh, if he were only back in bedlll He turned to run but turned back to see the object going through the open Picking up courage he turned to see window. what it was. just then out of a bank of clouds the moon rose bright and clear. He reached the window just in time to see his pet goat going through the gap in the fence. Bobby, feeling rather sheepish, turned and started up the stairs. VVell,H he thought, I'll not say anything and no one will know the difference. But he had no such good luck, over the banister leaned his oldest brother lim. Why, Bobby, whatls all of this? Bobby trudged doggedly up the stairs. Oh,', said his sister Marie, We saw it all, my! what a hero you are. Everybody was laughing. Well, sobbed Bobby as he slipped back into bed, How was I to know it wasnlt a burglar? ' -Margaret Best, Eighth Grade.

Chariton High School XPERIENCE has shown that in spite of the fact that report cards are sent home three times each half-year, parents sometimes do not understand the exact classification of their chil- dren. Hence this report is being sent to you. Graduation requires thirty-two credits. A credit means work completed in a regular study for one half year with a grade of 75 per cent or more. Thus, four credits each half year is the regular course. A pupil who lacks more than two credits will be classified with the class below. Thus to be enrolled with the Sophomore class one should have 8 and must have 6 credits, to be enrolled in the Junior class one should have 16 and must have 14 credits, to be enrolled in the Senior class one should have 24, and must have 22 credits. At the beginning of the second half of the Senior year a pupil must not have more than one credit in arrears. Failure is usually due to lack of application. At least two hours of systematic home study is essential to satisfactory progress in the high school department, and as far as possible nothing should interfere with such work. If your child is failing it would be well to investigate this fac- tor of his preparation. All social functions and other diversions should be enjoyed at the week's end and not be permitted to tax the pupil,s strength at other times. Nlost cases of dis- couragement and failure date their origin from such distractions or from poor attendance. The school is a place of business and regular, prompt attendance is a large factor in the pupil's success and growth. A quarter-day holiday is given in the high school for ten half days of perfect at- tendance. Hence, if your child is absent or tardy, it operates against the rights of the whole school. Parents and patrons are cordially invited to visit the High School and investigate the work of their children.

There is one thing in our stock which you canlt buy, no matter how much you will offer for it, yet we gladly give one with each purchase made at our store. This is a jewelry box bearing an imprint. Our name on a jewelry box indicates that the contents are of a high quality. It has taken years of fair deal- ing to build up this enviable reputation and it is therefore necessary to protect it. Otherwise many persons would buy jewelry at some irresponsible place and put our guarantee upon it by placing it in one of our boxes. And so our stock of boxes is as jealously guarded as our watches, and therefore when someone gives you a gift in a box bearing our name you may be sure you are getting a gift that bears the acknowledged distinction found always in anything that from our store.
