The city of Columbus donated a beautiful ten acre tract of land in the heart of the town. Work on a thirty thousand dollar building began immediately. It was not completed in time for the opening of school in the fall of 1900. School work however began in one of the public school buildings with an enrollment of 174 pu- pils. an-d a faculty of six members. The next year the building was dedicat- ed and the High School moved to its new home. ln 1903, the building proved inad- equate and an addition costing 816,000 was built. Manual Training and Domes- tic Art and Science were ad-ded, and the Commercial Department was also increas- ed. In 1911, an additional building was built to accomodate classes in Blacksmith- ing. The Cherokee County High School is now one of the best equipped high schools in the state. However the students and faculty unite in a request to the people of Cherokee County to build and equip a gymnasium which will make the equip- ment of the school one to be envied. i E. E.

The year started with the Gypsy En- campmentf' This included all of the girls of the school, but the novel idea was the product of the ever busy brain of a Senior, Laura Moore. A few weeks later we gave a tacky party at the home of Ma- bel Jackson. We don't know whether or not this was the time Miss Benton under- stood Prof. McClure to be asking for a date, when he was only asking for an egg, but anyway they chaperoned us. The evening was spent in playing old fashion- ed games and toasting marshmallows in the grove. Virgil Lee and Letha McKee were entitled to the prize, for they cer- tainly were tacky. Just before Thanksgiving we surprised the whole school by appearing dressed as farmer lads and lassies, and entertained everyone in general by singing a song en- titled They All Say, the Seniors Ain't Got No Style. Another new feature that we added to the already long list of Senior events, was an Experience Meeting. About fif- teen Seniors, including the president of the class, took charge of chapel on that morning, and each gave a short talk on what ha-d meant the most to them in their school life. One fine morning at chapel the Faculty were privileged to see themselves as others see them, and of course they couldn't be made to believe it was as bad as the observant Seniors mad-e it. Other classes before us have copied the manners of the faculty, but never did anyone ven- ture to steal the very costumes of this mighty band. Of course we had unusual- ly good material, having several lovesick teachers to impersonate, but even under such circumstances, who but this original class would have thought of having a tin show-er at this time for the brides-to-be? Then this year in place of having an operetta as has been the custom for sev- eral years, we decided to revert to the out- of-the-ordinary again, so we presented the comedy Niobe, All Smiles, with Miss Henrietta Mitchell in the title role. The all star cast was as follows: Peter Amos Dunn-Harry Allen-ln business, Presi-dent of Universal Insur- ance Company. Cornelius Dunn-Clare Woodard-In love,with himselfg Peter's wife's brother. Philip Innings-Noel Mountjoy-In Corney's hands: Corney's friend. Hamilton Thompkins-Ralph Smalley -In the cloudsg an are enthusiast, a mil- lionaire. Parker Sillocks-Fred Taylor-In re- tirementg a merchant. Caroline Dunn-Ethel Scott-lndis- pensableg Peter's wife. Hattie Griffin-Laura Moore-In open rebelliong Caroline's youngest sister. l Beatrice Sillocks--Augusta Mitts-In love with Corneyg Parker Sillock's daugh- ter. Helen Griffin-Letha McKee-In au- thorityg Caroline's eldest sister. Mary-Mary Bruno-In service, par- lor maid. Madaline Mifton-Irene Mitchell-In the way, governess. , Niobe-Henrietta Mitchell--ln the flesh, widow of the late Amphion, King of Thebes, a statue. The members of the cast were especial- ly suited to the parts they played, and all were well drilled under the efficient di- rection of Miss Douglas, assisted by Miss Moore. RALPH SMALLEY.

From the very beginning of the Fresh- man year and on thru the annals of the class of '15, until now, when the members are soon to become Seniors, The Spirit of the Schoolff has been the guiding prin- cipa1.oxf thisiclass. Every phase --f sm Fool life has been entered and the best ll at was possible accomplished. The standards set by preceding classes were broken in the first two years in school. Athletics, especially track' was well supported, this class winning second place in the class meet held last year. This year, in the debate try-outs places on the teams were won by Gillenwater. Watts and Stonecipher, and Erville Os- thoff represented the school in declama- tion at Independence. Edgar Stoneciph- er, the president of the Y. M. C. A., and Raymond Wing, assistant editor of the 5 Q, c 'Ap Quesf?Jtion Mark, are both Juniors. Among the special things accomplished during the year was the electing of next year's Annual Staff. Charles Watts re- ceived the position of Editor-in-Chief. Perhaps the thing which reflects the most credit to the class, was the presentation of a large United States flag to the school, the old one being worn out a good many years ago. Every day when the weather has not been bad, it has been floating above the building during school hours and has been truly significant of the re- spect and patriotism felt by Americans of the future, for the emblem of their coun- try. This class also presented the school with a class penant, which we hope will be the forerunner of class emblems, which which will be placed in the building by future classes. 1 R. W. '15 ef, 9 5, i 5 ill c w ,v vi Ill i UL null W Hear, reader, the story of the wonder- ful career of the brilliantly victorious Sophornores. Anderson of great stature, was chief among the counsellors of the successful class. Who was it that called this ordained class together for organizing? It was An- derson, of the loud voice. After much consideration this same Anderson was chosen as leader and counsellor. After organizing the class, King An- derson arose and spake, making harangue among the students who came from far and near townships: Hark ye, all chil- dren of the Sophomore class, and listen to words of good advice. We are starting upon long journeys with much to do. You will need other leaders and counsellors. Thereupon Cora Cammack, the bulwark of the class and Marie Allmon were chos- en to assist the mighty Anderson. Again the King spake: Wonderful Sophomores, all of ye must help. This must be a vic- torious class. We must be the model stud- ents of the year. All of you must get in- to the fight to win glory and honor for the class. Then did every great war- r'or resolve to strive for honor during the year. F'rst came the Warriors of the grid- iron. These outclassed all others, one be- ing captain and the other manager of next year' s foot-ball team. In the wonderful beauty war, Corinne McGhie Won another victory for the Sophomores. In the council of the news- paper, the Quesf?Jtion Mark, there are many of our warrior s. The class won the meed of honor, offered by this paper, which was a party. Among the other glories of this class, was the debate try- out, in which Anderson, King of the Sophomores, won first place. Our war- riors hold rank in almost all of the various organizations of the school. The members of this wonderful class feel sure that they have done their work correctly and feel assurred that they are the model which the younger generation of Freshman should follow. VERNON HOLT.

Morte Oschenbien Sec.-Treas. ...,...................... Helen Smalley On Sept. 8th., 1913, a new ship was launched in the sea of C. C. H. S., contain- ing the class of 1917. Such a class, too. We have a larger enrollment than any Freshman class since the beginning of the school. Not only have we quantity, but along with it, quality. Our efforts in the class rooms have proved this and for some have won a place on the honor roll. Among the upper classmen we have been the victims of a good bit of ridicule, but we should worry. The unsympathetic Souhomores have often ignored and ridiculed us beyond measure with divers remarks, not entirely complimentary to us, but we just laugh and pass on and thus try to make their sport our gain. We can afford to smile now, since we have learned to know the workings of C. C. H. S., and the methods of its faculty. Many weeks it took us to accomplish these things and we felt we had achieved something when it was done. Now as our term as freshmen is near- ing a close, we look forward and plan for the remainder of our school years. While we have not done much outside of our regular work, we have tried to do our best and with such a start we expect to accomplish much in the remaining three years. An incident concerning our election of officers shows what a progressive and up- to-date class we are. Since Kansas adopted Woman's Suffrage, we decided to put it into practice and consequently three out of our five class officers are girls. We know that our class will bring hon- or and glory to the school as long as we remain in it and when we graduate we trust that C. C. H. S. will still have reas- on to be proud of the class of 1917. May the ship which has so faithfully carried us through the hardships and dif- ficulties of our Freshman year, guide us through the trials and struggles of our Sophomore year, through the ups and downs of our Junior year, and at last when we are Seniors may we have the same spirit and desire to do well and to succeed that we have had as Freshmeng although we will have grown taller and stronger and richer with the three years of experience.

Can any of us remember the day that thought first entered our mind? Did we know then, the real meaning of education? As high school students we studied hard, trying to conquer the problems before us in order to prepare ourselves for college. Why did college education apeal to us? Was it for enjoyment or for work? This we can easily answer as we hear that call for men -men who have the courage and stamina to fight the grave problems that are con- fronting our nation today. The world is continually calling for men who have the courage to stand up and be counted during this great crisis of our destiny. As we glance back over the records ade by men of the fore-going ages, we can vividly see that their great success was due to their college education. These men are our ideals and in order to hold the positions which they now hold, we must have a college education. Whether or not we intend to rise to the positions, we know that in order to be successful in our everyday life we must have a college education. So it is with this idea that we go to college to receive After a careless review of the improve- ment and a more careless investigation of the growing popularity of these books, I think they are fooly worth the trouble, and are excellent monuments to the Big- ness of our High School. And, as Sen- iors may come and Seniors may go, I think their Annuals should go on forever. Therefore, on behalf of the Class of '09, I absolutely refuse to apologize for having helped start The Checoukan Annual. RICHARD A.

I who have had my day of greeting, and am now to all intents forgotten: save perhaps by those few who shall skim the pages of old issues on search of some stale joke to use anew on fractious freshmen, or perhaps on a case or two. We did that in our times, you do it now. Some future staff, beyond a doubt, will do the same. Thus your little book in part may live a dozen lives, and the spirit of your work may be an aid to many classes in the years to come. So, to the Staff of the Checoukan, to the class of nineteen hundred an-d fourteen. and to all into the hands of whom good fortune shall place this book, I send my hearty greetings and humbly dedicate this vagrant thought. LOYD DOUGLAS, Editor-in-Chief, . 1912 Checoukan Annual. As each new issue appears the former issues of the Checoukan become more a part of the past. But time cannot rele- gate to the past the kindly interest which all who have come in Contact with the C. C. H. S. feel in every interest of the school and the Stu-dent body. May this interest be expressed in this greeting which I extend to every student and friend, new and old, of the C. C. H. S. May this Annual, the events it records and the message it bears, be not merely a marker recording another step in the his- tory of the school, but rather a link in a chain which shall bind the present to the past and link us all together in a desire for a larger future for the school we love so well.

And I, too, want to add my greetings along with those of the former editors, for by the time this annual is in the hands of the readers, my relations with the Che- coukan Annual will have slipped from present into past tense. Let me say to you, class-mates, that as we leave this school, may We realize that we are not thru with our education, that We have only passed another milestone in our career, and that the big things of life are before us. To the Senior classes of the future, I can only say that it is not on- ly your duty to maintain the standard of the school, but to make it keep pace with the progress of the age. RALPH SMALLEY, Editor-in-Chief, 1914 Checoukan Annual. , W WWW 'Wa Kan tsasl Chefrokeel Coufntyj When in 1909, the first Annual pub- the Cherokee lished by the students of County High School made its appearance, it bore the name of The Checoukan An- nual. It was then intended that this name be used as the family name of all the year books published by the students of the high school. The following year, on account of minor objections upon the part of the staff, another name was se- lected for their book. Thus a precedent was established, of having a different name each yea. and using the name Che- coukan only in a secondary manner. We, the staff of the 1914 Checoukan F Annual, believe that the Cherokee County High School should and does publish an annual characteristic in itself and for this reason its name should remain un- changed. As for the name Checoukan, it stands for the best county, in the best state, in the union, and we are proud to have it be the name of the crowning achievement of our school life. And now to the Senior classes of the future. In the consideration of a name for your year-book, take into considera- tion the fact that the Checoukan An- nual will soon be known all over the state, but if each year a new name is chos- en, it can be of no more than local inter- est. WERELESS In this time, it is a very different feat to attempt to predict the future of any- thing, much less wireless, itself a child of the age and yet in its infancy. It is almost impossible to prophecy to what lengths the wonderful brains of an Edison, a Mar- coni, or a Teolso may carry this greatest of all modern wonders. A few years ago, if anyone had at- tempted to describe even one of the com- monplace doings of wireless in the pres- ent day, you would have condemned him as an idle dreamer. So if this prophecy seems overdrawn, let time decide it. It is now possible to span the ocean with wireless signals in dots and dashes, but in the near future the wireless tele- TELEGRAPH phone will be perfected to such an extent that conversation between New York and Paris will be possible without any inter- vening wires. Some small boats and tor- pedoes have been successfully directed by the aid of wireless from the shore. It lies only within the range of a few years, when even the power to drive them will be sent from the shore by the aid of ether waves. Some day all the work of the world will be performed by the ai-d of electricity, not following along copper wires, but coming thru space by means of wireless. Our lamps will be lighted, our homes will be warmed, our food cooked and our work done thru the invisible waves of ether. . 'w - :..,.. ., . J QLQ WZMWZQZV af Electricity is an element of energy that- has been subjected to the varied discus- sions by scientists, and hardly any have come to the same conclusions. As I am no scientist, I will not even give my opinion upon this magic force of nature. Electricity has been considered a fluid until within the last few years, but now scientists regard it as a condition of strain among molecules of .a body, or a form of molecular motion capable of being com- municated like a flui-d, but after all we are only able to understand the laws by which its phenomena are manifested. When a body is excited electrically it is said to be charged. If the charge of two bodies is equal and opposite, it is neutral- ized by putting them in contact. When elec- trification passes from a higher to .a low- er potential, along a conductor, it is called an electric current. This occurs when any other form of energy is converted in- to electric energy, and two bo-dies charged to different potentials, are joined togeth- er by wire. In such a case there is a sud- den and complete' nge to equal' D0t6T1- tials ,.1' b y a momefit current through the wire. I It was found that it would be impossible to measure electricity as we do other things, so in computing electrical quanti- ties certain units are employed, the Volt, Ohm, and Ampere. . The Volt is the unit of electromotlve force, and was named from Alessandro Volts, an Italian physicist, and is equal to the amount of electricity produced by one blue-stone cell. The Ohm, named from Dr. Ohm, is the unit of electric resistance, and is approximately equal to the resist- ance ofered by two miles of ordinary cop- per trolley wire. The Ampere is the unit of electric cur- rent. It was so named from Marie Am- pere, and is equal to such a rate of current as will pass through a circuit whose resis- tance is one Ohm, under anfelectromotive force of one volt. In comparing electrical units to these used in measuring steam, the volt would Q equal the steam pressure, the ohm the length and size of pipe passed through, and the ampere the amount of steam that passes through the pipe. Static electricity was discovered by the Greek philosopher Thalez, in the 6th cen- tury B. C. Aside from this, nothing more was known about it until the 16th century when Wm. Gilbert made experiments and published a book upon his experiments. Otte Von Buericke the inventor of the air pump, made the first electric machine in 1675, and later the Dutch writer Muss- chenbrook, invented the Leyden jar, a kind of storage cell. These experiments and inventions were extended by Frank- lin, Balvani, Volta, Ampere and Cerstead, the later inventors being Morse, Bell, Ed- ison, Tesla, Farrady, and Marconi, the in- ventor of wireless telegraphy. The discovery of electric phenomens and the invention of instruments and ma- chinery to apply electric forces is the arts, sciences and industries have caused a re- markable, revolution in all lines of science enterprise. Having a prolific heating ef- fect, electricity has entered as a heating agency into homes, offices and railway cars. It is utilized to a large extent in electric building, for lighting it possesses greater utility than any other form of en- ergy,, and its power to propel and move machinery exceeds the wildest dreams of the ancient philosophers. It is used to fire explosives, and to send messages through the medium of the telephone and the telegraphy, the X-ray is based upon electricity and among the latest electrical developments is a process for sending por- traits, by means of an electric current, over a copper wire. The use of electricity has greatly revol- utionized many lines of industry and no- ticeably the Arts, and it is not improbable that the greatest discoveries and the most useful applications of this force are yet to be made. Certainly it offers a vast field for study and experiments. ' e C. W., '15. M-71, , h , . K .Wf ,f a 1 if J In the world of Sentiment, all great lives have been Dreamlives, and in the World of material things the greatest men have been dreamers. History is full of examples, in fact it is but the account of the lives of such men. Empires have been dreamed of, and have at last been founded by Dreamers. In old England, over three hundred years ago, there arose a little band of Dreamers. Theirs was the ideal of free- dom, and it was so strong withing them that they embarked in a frail vessel for a distant shore where they might live and love unmolested. Emerson said that the ideal things of life were the real things. Emerson was a Dreamer. In all the great schemes of things, the Ideal is the essential element. The Fancifvl and the Real are so blended that it is almost impossible to define the division, the creative ability of man's en- tire life depends entirely upon his compre- hension of the Infinite. The power of imagination is infinite, for it is the all powerful force that has been behind every a-dvancement of the human race. It is the KV? 'C primitive foundation where all things or- iginate, and from which all things come. Every object of nature embodies an ideal, in the simplicity, the purity or the beauty of its being. Is it not fitting then, that man, who is Nature's Ideal, and in whom Nature has attained her perfection, should embody this spirit of idealism, and so be- come a dreamer, that he may mount on- ward and upward to his -destiny? Every- where we are faced by the reality of the ideal, by the concreteness of the dream and the value of a man's fancies. Let us then not learn to count our suc- cess in dollars and cents, but rather to elevate our purpose to a plane that is an ideal. Let us dream and have visions of an ideal, of an accomplishment, of a life that is truly worth while, for as our dreams and our visions are, so our lives will be. The Golden Age lies onward, and not behind, the pathway thru the past has led rs up, the pathway thru the future will lead us on, and higher. LESLIE T. HENDERSON. WHEN SUM AN PAT VHSHTE CHAPEL Hey, Slim, where are you goin'? No place, just loafin'. Why? Come go with me out to visit Chapel. I've heard a heap about it, so I'm goin' to see what it's like. Come go 'longf' Go 'long? Nope, not for me. Oh, come 'longg nothin'll bite you. uNOpe.n Oh, come on. We'll sit in the back of the room, and no one'll see us. Come on. We-1-l. But mind you, Pat, if it gets too serious, I'm goin' ter leave. So saying, the two boys walked briskly across the campus and, after a few min- utes, soon found their way up to the chap- el room. The pianoist was seated at the piano playing a march for the students to march by, when the two boys entered the auditorium. Both slipt in coutiously and were seated when Pat noticed that every- one was standing and singing. Say, Slim, guess we'd better get to our feet and join in the song. Hah! What's the song? Don't sound like any I ever heard at the Mystic, does it to you ? Naw, guess that's what they call a 'round', see they're not singing together. Yep, guess so. Say what's that they're sayin' together? They said somethin' 'bout givin' us some bread. O, I wonder if they serve re-frish-i-men-ts out here. Can't prove it by me, Slim. Whew, hope they dog I feel kinder empty. a I ' J - ,'.P' The morning prayer was ended and ev- eryone was seated except Slim who, tall and gauky, was still standing, towering above evryone. His interest was drawn to something in front of him, until at length, Pat, being disturbed by Slim's actions, said: Slim, for goodness' sakes sit down. Can't you see you're drawin' a heap of at- tention? What you lookin' at onyway? Huh ? Then Pat giving him a tug at his coat tail, which brought him down to the floor with a crash, but. there being some con- fusion among the faculty, this was not no- ticed, only by a few who sat near by. Hey, Pat, you tryin' to break my 'Spinal Meningitis? Well no, but what were you lookin' at for heaven's sake? At this Slim broke out into a roaring laughter and at length said: Did you see that baul-headed man sit- tin' a few saets in front of us ? Yes, that's one of the teachers, why? Well, there was 'bout five or six flies on top his head havin' a skatin' rink or a boxin' match, I don't know which, and I wanted to see how it came out so-- But he was interrupted by Pat. Listen, that man said somethin'. What was it? Just then the music teacher stepped for- ward and rendered a beautiful solo selec- tion entitled, 'Twas the Last Chance I had. O, aint that pretty. Slim? It almost makes my heart beat to hear it. Yes, aint it tho. Just think, poor man, he must be in love. Look, Slim, see that lady sittin' in the middle of the back row, with that purple dress on, she's cryin'. Oh, yes. I bet she got left, poor girl. I bet so too. O, he's thru, wander what they'll have next. After the soloist had taken his seat, a large, heavy set, black haired, black mus- tached man stepped forward and produc- ed a small book, from his pocket and read: The greatest talker is the greatest liar. At which the faculty and students laughted and cheered heartily. Say, Pat, did that man say he was the biggest talker and liar out here? That's what I was tryin' to solve, Slim. I just couldn't get the hang of it. Then, after reading a few short pro- verbs from the book, the speaker walked slowly to his seat and was again applaud- ed by the faculty and the students. Ouch! yelped Slim almost out loud. Well, what's now, Slim? I wish them women up there on the stage would hold their hands still. They have got some cut-glass fastened on their fingers somehow and it's 'bout to put my eyes out. Why, Slim, those are diamonds, you infant. Aint you learnt better yet? Just listen, Pat, at that man readin' things off them clipoin's o' paper. I bet those kids are glad they don't have to go to any classes. O, say, Slim, did you see- O, begora, Pat, whew, run for yer life. That was the fire bell! And, the boys on hearing the first five minute bell, telling the close of Chapel, sprang to their feet, slid down the banis- ters and, in the wink of an eye, found themselves out on the campus, hot, breath- less and very excited. INACE LYNCH. Everything had gone wrong, the world looked dark and dreary, she was cross and her head ached. The whole cause of it was that she had been out late the night Ll' ,im 'six' ,- 'K if A ' - mA:.L..+ An. .. LLL- ,LLL L. before, consequently losing much sleep, but you see she simply had to go to the show, five thousand feet, and all for a nickle, it was a bargain and bargains should not be missed, especially by the feminine sex. Then the drug store came afterwards. She had really intended to get her lessons when she came home, but it had been evry, very late, so with a promise to herself to get up early in the morning to get her lessons, she had gone to bed. Then on awakening-in fact it was 8:00 o'clock before she did awake, just half an hour to make it to school-cross and sleepy she had made ready. There had been no time to tie her shoes, no time for break- fast, there had been only one thing to do and that was to make a grand ruch for school. So she had hastily gathered to- gether her books, made one dab with her powder puff, and hurried forth. C. C. H. S. never before had seemed so far away. Her shoe-strings had bother-ed her considerably, often tripping her when she least expected it, causing much de- lay as well as embarrassment. Consider- ing all of this she finally managed to reach school, with just one minute to make her class, so she had been informed by Prof. Cook as she had entered the door. That had meant more hurry ,so, quickly divesting herself of her wraps, one look at the flushed face in the mirror, breath- ing hard with her exertion, she had en- tered the class room just as the last bell rang. Then trouble began. First, to her em- barrassment, she was informed that the powder showed. Hastily wiping her face she had been confronted with the thought that her shoes were still untied, there was only one thing to do and that was to tie them. As she had leaned over and started to tie them, a giggle was heard, the blood had slowly risen to her face, she could feel it rise now with just the thought. How she got through it she could not remem- ber, the first thing she knew, Prof. Guf- fy had asked her a question. Of course she could not answer it, so a neat little circle had been placed beside her name. All these incidents were racing through the mind of the girl as she sat in the study hall the second period. How mis- erable she felt, how heavy her eyes were, they almost refused to stay open, she tried to concentrate her thoughts upon her lessons, but it was impossible. Her mind was dull for want of sleep, it was so hard to keep from laying her hea-d on the desk, it really looked as if it were extending an invitation for her to do so, why refuse it? The temptation grew too strong, the girl's head slowly drooped until it rested upon her folded arms on the desk, her eyes closed, her muscles relaxed, the things of the earth began to fade, dimmer and dimmer they grew, shrinking almost to nothing. Then sudenly they seemed to take new forms. The girl began to take notice for they were coming toward her, they were queer looking things with bod- ies and faces that were grinning and jeering at her. She tried to catch them as they came near, but they were too swift, time after time she tried, but to no avail. They only laughed at her and call- ed out mockingly There's no use, you can rot get us, your mind is too dull, you keep too late hours, and they turned away. Then the girl saw who it was. It was Mr. Algebra and his hard little problems. They were disappearing now, and in their place came row after row of notes, whole notes, half notes, quarter notes, in fact all the notes of the staff, five of them were carrying what seemed to be long narrow sticks. Quicker than the girl had ever thought possible, a staff of five lines and four spaces was erected in front of her, slowly the notes, followed by rests, the clef, time and bars came and stood in front of her. The girl now knew that it was Harmony, also she knew what was expected of her, so picking up the clef, she tried to place it upon the staff. It was a hard matter, for her hand was unsteady and the clef twisted and turned every way but the right way. At last she succeeded in placing it right. The Time went on easily, so she turned to the notes. They would not stay where she put them, if she placed one on G it would fall down to C , if she left it there and placed an- other on E to make the soprano, it would fall down to C also. After much patience and work, the first measure was l ai......f., . completedg then she placed a bar. The bar had a strange effect upon the notes. It seemed as if they thought they were be- ing made prisoners and they tried to jump over. One note succeeded in doing so and as many times as she tried to re- place the lost count, it eluded all her ef- forts. Finally and almost in despair she looked up to see Prof. Davidson slowly shaking his head at her and saying in low even tones, It's no use, your nerves are all unstrung, for want of sleep. Until you give up late hours, it will always be the same. Then, as mysterious as they had come, they vanished from sight, leav- ing the girl in a deep study. The girl's thoughts were suddenly broken by the appearance of Miss Schmalzried carrying in her hand the History of English Literature. She be- gan to put questions to the girl, all about Coleridge and Wor-dsworthg the questions came thick and fast. Vainly the girl tried to answer. She knew all about these men but which one was which? Was it Cole- ridge that was a lover of nature, or was it Wordsworth? She could not remem- ber 5 consequently she twisted her answers so much that Miss Schmalzried disap- peared, and before the startled eyes of the girl the dim outlines of two graves appeared. More distinct they grew, until finally she could read the inscriptions on the grave-stones. Her heart almost stood still. Before she could move, two shad- owy figures slowly arose fro mthe graves. lt was the spirits of Coleridge and Words- worth. They had come to right their wrongs done by the girl. They could not lie peaceably in their graves while a hu- man being was so unsuccessifully giving their history. The girl was badly fright- enedg the spirits were advancing toward her, then in voices that sent a cold chill over the girl, they spoke these words: Late hours of pleasure and neglect of your studies cannot help but bring you sorrow. Is your love for pleasure more to you than graduation? A bell, long and shrill, sounded some- where in the distance. A cool breeze fan- ned her browg the spirits were disappear- ing and in their place familiar faces be- gan to grow. As her senses became more clear the girl realized that she was in school and that she had been asleep. The bell that ha-d awakened her Was the bell for chapel, and the students were leaving the study hall. Gathering together her books, the girl slowly followed them. A new resolve had taken hold of her. That night about seven-thirty, if you could have passed the girl's home you would- havegfeund -her steadily- working on her lessons. At nine-thirty, she was deep in the mysteries of Dreamland, a Dreamland not broken with weird an-d horrible fancies, but one of rest and con- tent. ALLE HUGHSON. BW r S- J K 'QNR K C N 62539: y .

No moonlight on earth's hills, Or vales, or minor rills,' But all, one shadow wrapt Around the world's wide lap. 'Twas such a stilly night As spirits take for flight, And Druids muster forth, From out the fairy north, To whisper in our ears Of shades of other years And secrets dark below Of things no mortals know. And here, asleep, my hand Was touched by Goddess' wand, When lo, transformed, I stood Within a circling brood Of strangely smiling hosts, A motly crowd of ghosts, Who, in my spirit, led Me forth, I dreamed, as dead, And bade me by their call To pass within this hall, And read each statue's name Of C. C. H. S. fame. Amazed, I wept, I cried, That all my class had died, Rejoiced, I laughed with mirth, Their fame had filled the earth, And they, departing, left Their names in marble cleft And carved for men of lore To laurel-brow our 1 and 4. Thus, one by one I read What each inscription said In letters bright of flame That lit The Hall of Fame, And shone upon that night A wondrous spectral sight. A. He might have been Achilles grand, But no, 'twas Allen's mould, With Question Mark held in his hand, And chapel talks of old. B. Now B, I vow it stood for Bess, It also stood for Byrlg What came of it, you'll have to guess- The name of this dear girl. C. The one who loved to always sing Queen Esther o'er and o'er, There chiseled like a Chopin King, Stood Cecil evermore. D. For Darwin stands the letter D5 His statue white and tall, Was just so like the real Frazee, It wouldn't speak at all. E. Ah! Marble, canst thou speak to me, Some little secret tell, Of her who played and loved McGhie, Whom angels named Ethel? F. On pedestal of single joy, Our Frances stood apart, Who never loved a single boy, Tho' drawing was her art. G. Oh gee! Oh gee! What's this I see? Ye Nympths! it is a lass! Well, Gertrude? Sure! 'tis she,- Still fat and full of sass. H. No statue in the world like she Ere came to life before, As Henrietta Niobe In Senior Play of yore. I. Beneath the crown of waocen doves I saw a form serene: 'Twas she whom everybody loves, And called their friend, Irene. J. Well Jennie, my old pastry chum, In cooking many things, I never dreamed to fame you'd come, How did you get these wings? K.

But Z was there with brilliant gleam, To stand for Zimmerman. What strange immortal dred Around my soul was spread! The goddess wand was chill And touched, and seemed to fill The place with showers of spray From golden mystic tray: A spray like froken frost That gleamed and swirled and tossed, And down upon my head It beat so cold and dread, I shrieked with bitter pain, And reeled as one when slain, And fell-O such a fall! When lo, the goddess call Turned back the icy sheet And set me on my feet, Beside a pleasant stream, Where mortals come to dream. Laura Margaret Moore. rw.

'T E FQREENEEC GLM One bright morning in September, while Prof. Brooks was driving a nail in- to a piece of lumber, the hammer, by a mislick, came down upon his finger in- stead of the nail. That little mis-slip started a thought in his head, debating as to the reason. He communicated that thought to Miss Moore, and together they put it into action. The outcome was that onemorning a group of boys met in Miss Moore's room and organized a debating club. The boys elected Logan Anderson, Pres.g Samuel Merriwether, V. Pres., Monta Wing, Sec.- Treas.g Solomon Turley, Ray Hall and Emmet Schreiner as a committee on ques- tions. A constitution was drawn up, and Roberts' Rules of Order was selected as the manual to be used as a guide to par- liamentary law. The membership of the club was limited to twenty members. The name of the club was selected from the Latin word Forsenic, meaning debat- ing. The try-out for debators to represent the school in the Independence and Par- sons debates, was indeed a fine showing for the Forsenic Club, as Logan Anderson took first place, Charles Watts third place and Andrew Koontz tied for sixth place. The work of the club during the first half of the year consisted of prepared de- bates every two or three weeks on various subjects. At the beginning of the second term the club took up the work of a con- gress, and did some fine work in extrem- poraneous debating. The members in- troduced bills and followed the regular procedure of the national house of repre- sentatives. DARWIN T.

President - - Burton Paxton Vice President - Cecil Alfred Sec.-Treas. - Orla Williams Sergeant-at-Arms - Ralph Smalley Faculty Advisor - Miss Schmalzreid A Argument dates from the time when men first began to express themselves. It is older than language. The Iliad, the first real work of literature to Win a place in the world, is largely the record of a tu- multuous debating society. Americans have always been prone to argue every question brought before them, and the schools of our country have for a great many years recognized debate, or the ex- pression of one's individual views of a question, Worthy of extensive study along with the regular courses. The first debating club in the C. C. H. S. was organized in the fall of 1912. The members were especially interested in this line of Work and were as good as the school afforded. From the beginning it was a success, and though no debates were held with other schools because of the late start, great Work was done in extempora- neous and prepared debating between the members themselves. For the year just en-ded, nothing better can be said than that the C. C. H. S. De- bating Club has shown the real progress that marks a thing worth while. Judging from the satisfaction expressed individu- ally by the members, it is the success among the literary societies of the school this year. Not only has the debating be- tween the members been given careful at- tention, but at the instigation of this club a debate with Parsons High School, and another, a double-header, with Montgom- ery County High School were arranged for. In the try-out, four of the members to gain place on the team Were members of this club. They were Paxton, Williams, Gillenwater and Stonecipher. Among all the events of the year, the annual mock trial created the most inter- est. This year the secretary was im- peached on the charge of incompetency, and although the prosecution was admir- ably conducted, the jury returned a ver- dict favorable to the defendant. It may be of interest to some to note what some of last year's members are do- ing since leaving school. Maurice Mc- Neill is reading lavv in his father's officeg Lloyd Whiteside has Won more than the usual debating honors for a freshman in K. U. Charles Moody has distinguished himself in debating, first at K. U. and then at the Manual Training Normal at Pittsburg. DEMOSTHENEAN DE ATHNG SQCHETY OFFICERS. President - - Paul Newlands Vive President Miriam Onion Secretary - Luella Smith Treasurer - John Bottom Sergeant-at-arms - Dale Wellington Critic on Debate - Edith Walker The Demosthenian Debating Society is composed of about thirty members, both boys and girls. Every class in school is represented in it. The society was or- ganized by Prof. Guffey during the first part of the year, for the purpose of giving the members training in public speaking and argumentation. Parliamentary pro- cedure is also given careful attention. Some very interesting debates have been held during the year between the members. Once a month the society re- ceives more advanced training in debate from Miss Schmalzried. The society chose for a motto, Say no- thing that you cannot prove. During the meeting, at least, the members have tried to live up to it. l!.Xl'GlI'l'l+l!!S UF M!XlClUi'.X THE DRAMATIC CLUB The Dramatic Club was organized last fall to help make actors of a few of the students who could not, or did not, want to debate or make public speeches. It started with a bunch of thirty eager would-be villians, heroes, and heroines. At one of the first meetings the follow- ing officers were elected: President ...............r...,........

NED AITCHISON. ENGINEERING SOCIETY OFFICERS. Orla Williams - - President Charles Watts - Vice President Virgil Lee - - Sec.-Treas. , Raymond Wing - Some of the students who were inten-d- ing to take a course in engineering after leaving this school, at the beginning of the year, ,organized an Engineering Society. The purposetof its members was to be- come better acquainted with respective branches of engineering in which they were interested and to secure knowledge which would aid them in forming their opinions of engineering. Future civil, electrical, mechanical and architectural engineers are included in its membership. From the very first, troubles were en- countered in arranging a time for meet- ings, and this -caused a lack of interest on Sergeant-at-Arms the part of a few of the members, so that after Christmas the society was complete- ly reorganized. Although not classed as one of the lead- ing societies of the school, the majority of the members find the work fascinating and have derived more real benefit from it than is secured in many other societies. Professor Cook has given the society a room for their exclusive use, and a library consisting of a great many technical mae'- azines and books was formed. Some half dozen magazines come to its reading table every month. i wwf? THE QUESWITEU MA President of Council. .Henrietta Mitchell Vice President ..,.............

The name Quesl?J tion Mark has lost its significance, as to there being a ques- tion of whether or not the paper would be a success. That fact is already assurred and the question no wis to what lengths it's success will reach. It now holds a po- sition with the foremost high school pa- pers of the country and compares favor- ably to a great many college papers. This fact is due largely to the efficient man- agement of the paper and the co-operation of the students. Harry Allen has held the position of editor-in-chief during the year and has been the chief means of putting the nec- essary pep and ginger in the paper. The task of getting together enough copy each week for the paper, is no small job, and the present editor deserves a great deal of credit. The financial basis of the Quesf?Jtion Mark is all that could be desired, and is one of the real proofs that the paper is a success. For this condition, we must ac- cuse the busines manager, Clare Wood- ard. The other members of the staff are as follows: MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL Vernon Holt Daisy Pierson Burton Paxton Edith Walker Luella Smith Fred Field Edgar Stonecipher Ethel Scott Ralph Smalley George Case Reuben Cooper Laura Moore Noel Mountjoy Monta Wing Logan Anderson Edwin Blincoe Ruth Settle A Q E 1 k i in h Y. M. C. A. OFFICERS. Edgar Stoneciphem - President Harold Speith, - Vice. Pres. Vernon Holt, Treasurer Logan Anderson, - - Secretary The aim of the Y. M. C. A. is to open the eyes of the young men to the beauty, desirability and need of clean, consecrat- ed, Christian lives. We place special stress on the physical side, for the clear eye of health can better discern the pleas- ure of following of the Master. Our endeavor is to plant the seeds of Christianity in an enlightened mind, en- forced by a strong body. When this is accomplished, we have little to fear con- cerning the future. Interest in the Y. M. C. A. was rather low at the beginning of school, but as a result of conscientious and hopeful labor, it has steadily grown and the importance of the Y. M. C. A. in our high school is to- day being realized by both students and faculty. We are preparing to start in next September with vim and enthusiasm that will make the organization a power- ful factor in furthering the school stand- ards and by doing so, prepare our young men for the battles of life by enlisting them on the side of our Master and Sa- viour. J, E, S, Y. W. C. A. OFFICERS. Edna Canfield, - - Presidenat Daisy Pierson, Vice President Ethel Scott, - Treasurer Mable Jackson - Secneftary The Young Women's Christian Associ- ation is an organization for the girls and of the girls. This association is found in almost every school, college and univer- sity in the United States. Its aim is to heighten and develop the ideals of the school girls and to bring them into closer companionship. The weekly devotional meetings have been a source of great in- spiration and help, and the good influence of the association has been felt thru-out the school. At the beginning of the school year the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. gave a joint reception to the new students. The big feature of the evening was the initiation of the Freshmen girls. Miss Riggs, stu- dent secretary, of Denver, spent several -days with the girls and during her visit the social committee gave a very novel re- ception to the girls of the school, in the form of a gypsy. encampment. The campus was enclosed by canvas, outside of which the boys of the school stood guard to keep out the curious public. The girls were arrayed in Gypsy costumes and the encampment was divided into four di- visions representing the four classes. In the middle of the camp was a genuine campfire, and real Gypsy games furnish- ed the amusement of the evening. In November, the association sent two delegates, Miss Canfield and Miss Moore, to the state convention at Nickerson, Ks. We have great hopes for the coming year and trust that all the girls of the C. C. H. S. will enlist in this noble work. .,.. 'S wk NAS K Nad , SM , f - . ' - ,. W-Ifw-'R-1'x f..f': A , ,I , .M 'S . , Mg? Ag. 3 . . V six it-L .2 z - Q' Y. M. C. A. CABINET Y. VV. C. A. CABINET ' DEPAR MENT SCH C MUSIC DEPARTMENT The Music Department of the Chero- kee County High School is finishing its second year under the present. system. The department recommends competent private teachers of whom High School pupils take their lessons, while the depart- ment gives a thorough course in sight singing, musical appreciation, harmony, musical history and theory. Mr. Davidson has made this an unus- vally active year and the musical organi- zations consist of a Girls Glee Club, Boys Glee Club, Mixed Glee Club, Mixed Quar- tette, Girls Double Quartette, Orchestra and a large mixed chorus of between one hundred and twenty-five and one hundred and fifty voices. The Boys Glee was se- lected by the committee in charge, as a representative High School Boys Glee Club, to sing at the State Music Teachers Association held at Topeka last Novem- ber. This same Glee Club won the champ- ionship silver loving cup at the South East Kansas contest held at Fort Scott in February. It consists of sfxteen mem- bers, four singing each part. For the past three years it has been customary for the music department to give a comic opera or an operetta. The Captain of Plymouth,, and The Nautical Knot have both been great successes in the past years and this year the music de- partment will close its year's activ'ties with a two night's performance of Rhys- Herberts pastoral operetta, Sylvia These affairs have always been very popular and have been far above the cus- tomary amateur performances. No one but high school students are used :md in this way a great deal of talent is discover- ed and developed.

In the Domestic Art classes, many useful articles have been made and the display of the work of this class shows both skill and neatness. The first year the girls are allowed to sew on- ly by hand, w.hich requires both patience and tact. Such articles as towels, aprons, pillows, and laundry bags are made. The second year's work is done by machine, so that the girls are enabled to accomplish much more. Dresses are made and plan- ned by the girls, giving them a very practi- cal course in sewing. In the Domestic Science course the girls are taught to prepare and serve the food in a wholesome, appetizing and at- ilz T Let him that stole steal no moreg but rather let him labor, working with his own hands that which is good, that he may have to give to him that needethf' The man who says that Manual Train- ing is a failure, is either misinformed or he is misrepresenting the facts. A little investigation of the matter will reveal the fact that manual training is not taught niererly for the mentally short, but that it broadens the sympathies and makes more efficient citizens of all. Manual training develops the mental. In doing the work with the tools, keeps the physical in con- ditiong and in acquiring the artistic, the soul is made broader and more sympa- thetic. Then it is so practical. We are proud to say that the C. C. H. S. stands in the front rank in its equipment and instruction in this subject, but proud- er still that the students that go out from this department are so interested in their work that they make good in the fullest sense of the term. In mechanical drawing the students learn the use and care of the instruments and they are taught to make and to read working drawings. Drawings of the ex- ercises to be made in the wood shop are tractive manner. Some of the things given in the course, are the study and pre- paration of meats, pastry, vegetables, fro- zen desserts, bread, cakes, etc. The stu- dents are taught to utilize the left-overs, in this way reducing the high cost of liv- mg. During the year, each girl has the re- sponsibility of planning the menu and preparing and serving a luncheon. They are also required to make market orders, and to plan a home and furnishings on a limited amount of money. Whenever there has been anything to do in the way of serving at the high school, Miss Ben- ton and the Domestic Science girls have kindly assisted. Both on Parent's Day and at the annual Trustee dinner, their work was very successful. worked out and many of them are blue printed. Plans are on foot for the con- struction of a green house to be used by the students of the botany and agriculture classes. A constant stream of foot stools, tables, and chairs, flow from the wood working room, besides the many maga- zine racks, plate racks, porch swings, piano benches, tabourettes, pedestals and skirt boxes that have been made. Some work has been done in carpentry, such as gate building, building forms for cement work, and some light framing. In the blacksmith shop, after a few of the primary principles in maintaining a good fire and in working iron on the an- vil, the student begns making chain hooks, bolts, tongs, wrenches, knives, and finishes by ironing a complete set of dou- bletrees. In the turning room the stu- dent is taught the care and use of the dif- ferent machines and some become so pro- ficient that they trim their finger nails on the plainer. In Clay Modeling, the artistic side of the work is taken up. In this department beauty and symmetry of form are the principal features worked out. f 15 f,,-,-,W .

The team played eight games in all and won five of them. The victories were over Pittsburg, Carthage, Webb City Itwicei and the State School of Mines at Weir City, while the defeats came from Parsons, Joplin-and Vinita. At the beginning of practice a large number of men appeared for a try at po- sitions on the team, but the number dwin- dled as the season progressed and at times scarcely an eleven was on the field on the evenings allotted for practice. Toward the close of the season, the Freshmen boys organized a class team and came out reg- ularly, giving the first team some much needed scrimmage workouts. ln a pre-season practice game, Smal- ley's men held the strong Pittsburg Nor- mals in a way that would have done credit to a college team, and in the first sched- uled contest they routed the State Miners on the home grounds, following this vic- tory with another, which almost annihila- ted the Pittsburg high school team. The defeats at Yinita and Joplin are conceded as earned by superior- trained teams. but the loss to Parsons which fol- lowed, must be credited to the luck of that team in getting away with a drop kick and an almost impossible forward pass, while C. C. H. S. scored a touch-down on straight football and threatened another in so strong a way as to leave the Parsons rooters in fear of defeat until the final whistle sounded. In winning the Carthage game a week before the game at Parsons, the team won a notable victory in consideration of the fact that a Carthage eleven had not been defeated in three years previous. The two victories over Webb City which closed the season, were both well earned, .5 ' -i..LAg.,.-...- ... ,.. .i.'.. and the latter one in particular showed what the eleven coul-d do with a few days' coaching. It is noticeable that the three defeats of the season came from teams which employ a regular coaching system, proving that Captain Smalley's men were easily super- ior to any school which placed football, on the same basis as C. C. H. S., and in the event of' the employment of a salaried coach for next year, which seems v-ery probable now, there is little room why the school should not have an all victori- ous eleven. THE LINE-UP. ' Ends:-Winter, Alfred, McDowell and Cobb. Winter was considered the official for- ward-pass catcher of the team, and it was seldom, indeed, that he failed to hook the flying pigskin. He was also a giant in the defense and caused the opponents con- siderable annoaynce by spilling their in- terference. Alfred was light, but fast, and works well as both the defensive and offensive. He generally had a much bigger man than himself, but the bigger they were the harder he hit them. The Vinita rooters wanted the little Jew in the black sweat- er kille-d. Stuffey will undoubtedly star on next year's team. McDowell's speed enabled him to cover a large portion of the field. Steve was extra good in chasing down punts, and caught his share of the passes. He, was good on the defense and made good gains on his end runs. A Tackles:-Walker, Hamlet, and Casso- way. Walker is 3 mighty husky man, and his opponents realized it more than any one else. He is also very aggressive. He doesn't hit hard a few times and then ease up, but keeps it up until the ' last whistle blows. His smile is famous where- ever he has played. It seems impossible for him to lose his temper. We are ex- pecting great things from Walker. Hamlet played at tackle this year and filled the position well. Fats' size aid- ed him on the defense, but it did not hin- der him on the offense as his opponents were apt to think. When he got under way on a tackle swing, something had to give way and it was generally the opposing line. He filled his place as manager in a way which can not be criticized and al- ways saw that the team had plenty to eat on their trips away from home. Gassaway's first year at the game was a big success, and the showing he made would have done credit to a v-eteran. His trick seemed to be to get thru and get the man with the ball before he got started. He made a reputation for himself in the games he did play in. Guards :-Kiker, Miller and Montgom- er . Yfhis was Kiker's first year with the regulars, and though he was handicapped all year by an injury received early in the season, he ma-de a dandy showing, He was a steady, cool-headed player and was never taken out of a game. Miller didn't start to school in time to be out at the beginning of practice, but he did well in the games he did play. in. He was unfortunate in receiving an 1nJury that kept him out of some -of the games. His position in the line was hard to fill. Montgomery was one of the lightest men on the team. When the opposing team tried a line buck over him,.though, they generally run into something and they generally tried something else. This was his first year of football and if he keeps on like he has started, he will make a mark for himself. Center :-Baugher. When Baugher had his suit on, the. team knew that any attempt of the other team to come thru center could be treated as a joke. The larger his man the better he liked it. No one ever had to tell him to get some pep in him, for he had it to Spare, His passes were always accurate and he was always over the ball, ready to go again. The Fighting Dutchman did more than his share in winning our part of the games. Buck Mountjoy, left half-back, estab- lished a reputation all over the playing territory of C. C. H. S. this year for his speed and ability to carry the ball. He broke away from the Carthage team on the first down for a fifty yard run and a touchdown, and repeated the long dis- tance stunt in several other games. Buck is also a heady and hard tackling defense man and spoiled many of the well planned plays of his opponents. This is his second year on a C. C. H. S. eleven, and teams which are to meet us next year will be gla-d to know that it is his last. Ralph Smalley, captain and quarter- back of this year's team, played the same steady game this season that won him the leadership position last year and captain- ed the team in an admirable manner. Smalley played at quarterback most of the season, but held down other backfield po- sitions in emergencies. He is the kind of a leader in which the men have confidence, being in the fray every minute, and at the same time direc- ting the work of his team-mates in a way that brings out their best playing quali- ties. C. C. H. S. loses one of the best gridiron men she ever had when Smalley goes out this year. Ralph Strong, Lutha, held the full back position down so well that no one ever inquired whether he was to be in the lineup. His bone racking plunges were the source of gain in many a fourth down and his short end runs were fast and hard to stop. He worked well with the rest of an excellent backfield when C. C. H. S. held the ball, and backed up the line on the defense in a way that made it almost impossible for his opponents to make sub- stantial gains. He will be back next year and C. C. H. S. is looking for even better things from him than he gave this season. Everett Cobb, quarterback and end, furnished the prettiest open field running this season C. C. H. S. has seen for years. Cobbie is rather small but he makes up for it in speed and ability to evade his larger opponents. He is a dependable safety al- so, and lent confi-dence to his team mates in the knowledge that he was behind them. He did the punting this year, and always managed to get off good long kicks. Dale Wellington, right half-back, prob- ably gained more ground than any other man on the team. He played in every game, and he played good hard football every minute. His offensive tactics were fifnning low and hitting hard. On the defense his idea was to stop as many men as possible. In carrying the ball, if he co' lcln't find a hole, he would get his head low and make one for himself. Punk's grit and determination won for him the leadership of next year's team. Bill Grisham, half-back, was out of sev- eral important games but played good, consistent ball in those in which he did take part. He carries the ball Well, hits hard, and stops his man all at once When he is tackling. He will be back next year and is expected to do things in the back- field. SCHEDULE. AT HOME. C. C. H.

We have an excep- tionally strong line-up for a high school team. Most of the team are very young, eight members of the squad having never played on the team before this year. A veteran ball player remarked, that it was the fastest little team he had ever seen. So far, they have made a very good showing. In their first game with the Pittsburg high school, the score tied at the end of the ninth inning, and owing to some trouble, the umpire stopped the game. Of course if it had gone another inning the score would have stood about 12 to 9 in favor of the C. C. H. S., instead of 9 to 9 as it did stand. In the second game, which was played with the Labette county high school, we ' aaaam There was mterial in C. C. H. S. this year, for a winning basket ball team. Early in the season there were several men out running for wind and practicing passing the ball. When it came time to begin training indoors for the first game, they found that a suitable place for the games could not be rented. This was very discouraging and for awhile basket ball was dropped. A team from Columbus, however, com- prised mostly of high school fellows, went to Mulberry and made a good showing there against the Giants. On the way home they organized a team under the name of The Columbus Tigers. This organization secured the stage at the op- struck a mighty rough row of stumps. They came over without a certified list and with a bunch of ringers. The boys had very little chance with them, but played ball for nine innings. At the end of the game the score stood 14 to 1 in their favor. Hereafter the team will play only schools which will send a certified list of players, as We claim to be amateurs and not professionals. Catcher-Wellington. Pitchers-Strong and Cobb. First base-Grisham. Second base-Lopp. Short stop-Gribble. Third base--Rhoades. Out fielders-Strong, Cobb, Stauffer, Tussey, Luckey, and Alfred. ALL era house for their games and had a very successful season considering the amount of practice they were able to get. The C. C. H. S. girls did well while they were playing. Without a coach or any aid from any one, they organized a team, and had a number of very interesting practice games. The only place they could obtain to play in, was the yard of the Pursel school. This was a great handicap to them when they went onto a smooth, waxed floor. They accompanied the Tigers to Weir City at two different times, and although they were defeated, they -demonstrated the fact that with a chance to practice, they would have a win- ning team. Why can't we have 3, gym.? THAQM At the beginning of track season, a great deal of interest was shown, but it died a slow and painful death. When it came time to have the annual inter-class meet, there were not enough men out to fill up one event. C. C. H. S. will proba- bly not be represented at any track meet this spring, because of this sad lack of in- terest. The captain manager, and facul- ty manager, feel that they have done their part and are very sorry that the school has lost all interest in one of the best of sports. ,--1.n.i,......aW iw A ' 35' Z . . . .'- . ,, .,.9,, - f ,314 ,kj ff .4- . ., .- -- 1 , . - I . .14 ,. .it ' ' ,gL.'v?z: zfj11.
