There were thirty-two votes cast, thirty-one for and one against. The first school hoard was composed of W. W. Gates, president. N. F. WFb9l', S. B. Hamilton, A, J. Lamni, H. Sini- mons, M. Loughlin, secretary, and P. Davis, treasurer. With the exception of a few years, Uncle Le1n has served in this position until the present day. School was tirst held in what was called the lVoodman building. Mr. YV. B. Callendar was principal, Miss Mary E. Hills QMrs. J. A. Elliott,j primary, and Miss Maggie Hock, intermediate teacher. Later it was decided to huild a frame school house 18x26 and 10 feet high. In this building Messrs. B. YV. Brintnall fav ,L rl , ,. M and O. P. Morton served as principals. The janitor at this 3 time received the princely sum of 33.75 per month. if P In 1885 a new building was erected. It was a four roomed brick structure, situated in the middle of the block facing the south and it has served as a neucleus about which the present building has grown. The two north rooms were added in the summer of '91 and the last addition, consisting of six new rooms on the south, in the summer of '98, when the entire school building was generally remodeled. ' In this neuclens Professor G. T. Eldridge administered the rod to many of our fathers and mothers' for six years. Under him the first class was graduated in 1889. Those who started the list of renowned alumni were Hon. J. D. Denison, Mrs. Florence Gates Morris, and Miss Ava Curry. Mr. Eldridge was succeeded by Professor J. R. McCallum with Mrs. Burt Harwood, nee Ella YVells, as assistant. ' Three years later Professor G. Sabin, with the same assistant, zealously wielded the birch. Professor S. T. May followed, assisted first by Miss WVeldy, then by Miss Phillips, then in the present building by Miss Annette Anderson and Miss Ethel Randall, later by Mis Ball and Miss Davis. Then came Mr. E. W. Fellows, with Miss Davis and Miss Browne as assistants. Later, when a department of English was added, Miss Burns was elected to fill the new position. Before going further we must say something of this most eventful year in the dearold C. H. S., for it was during this year the mighty 'O8's entered High School and thus began what has turned out to be a most energetic and ambitious class. We do not know whether this event was the cause or not, but that year three of the faculty resigned and the next year we had as our superintendent, Mr. W. H. Blakely, as principal, Miss N. V..Maughlin, and as assistants, Miss Ruth Browne, Latin, Miss Mary Cruikshank, English. 1907 finds the following corps of teachers: W. H. Blakely, Superintendentg Miss Maughlin, Principalg Miss E Q.- .a 11 K, 'Y I 'xx . Q i so ff' Mary Cruikshank, English and German, Miss Lura C. Eldridge, '99, Latin and English, and Miss Margaret Bowes, music and geometry. During these years many changes have occurred both in curriculum and equipment. During Mr. Fellows' superin- tenclency the athletic element was enthusiastically developed and aroused much interest and High School spirit. During the past two years, under Mr. Blakely, a strong department of Manual Training has been estahlished. Thus we have hastily traced the development of the Clar- ion High School through its career of twenty-five years, show- ing its growth from a common country school to a fully ac- credited High School ranking high among the High Schools of Iowa. May its future be even brighter than its past has been! 5 I sl fs ip ' it ,. , A' 4 HY? .577 1I.!J.u-4 .7 5 Eu ,ip 3 --hifi Z W it 'W 3 iii,-E 521 5 4 151? ,I -1' 'zf 'AlfT L'f 151 2 ?'+f1 Q ,f I I 1 N f f S E R ssegi 7 QJ' af :s?f?'3e l-211 - f 1- -if' Y -:zf :'55?E5:EFr ,Ar .mfr '--,W ,,,,, ' V V . - sl -s -- -ff f f CLARION'S FIRST SCHOCL BUILDING COURSE OF STUDY LATIN COURSE SCIENTIFIC COURSE First Sem.

Realizing this fact, seven of the talented high school girls, at the suggestion of their musical director, organized the well known glee club. Their popularity is a good indication that their selections have given excellent satisfaction and have been executed in an extremely artistic manner. The fact that they have sung at all important educational meetings is enough to show that their ability and influence have been recognized throughout the community. Another pleasing fact is that each member of this organization possesses the musical temperament of a soloist, which seldom occurs and without which the club could not have done such superior work.

They were greeted with hearty applause and immediately charmed their listners, so that, at every school function afterwards, the programs were not complete unless the quartette consented to favor the audiences with at least.one selection. Itis hoped that the spirit and enthusi- asm and faithfulness to practice which these boys have exhibited will prove a precedent to similar organizations and will bring the same good results.

R TORY Parody on Hamletls Soliloquy To speak, or not to speak, that is the question Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slurs and jeers of braver schoolmates, Or to enter the contest against a siege of stage fright, And by speaking conquer all? To speak, to speak, at last, and by that speech to say we know The heartbeats and the thousand natural shocks ' That flesh is heir to, , Is it a consummation devoutly to be wished? To try: to speak-to try: perchance 'tis but to fail: aye thereis the rub, For in that contest failure may to some one come E'en tho' we've almost shuffled off this mortal coil By work and drill: . There's the mere chance that makes decisions of this kind hard For who would bear the work and Hight of time- The fear of failure--the weight of hope deferred- The pangs of lost reward-the long delay-the Weariness of study- The distress that comes from practice long and tedious- Wlien he himself might his quietus make with a mere decline. Who would wish to bear and drill and toil the weary weeksg But for this thought-perchance in after years The good we now may reap will help us bear The burdens in the higher walks of life, And thus enable us to share the ills And joys that human hearts must ever meet. Thus conscience does make workers of us all- Aud thus the native hue of resolution And enterprises of great pith and moment Are brightened o'er with new and earnest thought. LOLA VVORTH, '10. ELSIE M. SHEPLEE Miss Elsie Sheplee began her career as a humorous speaker at the literary programs given by our school during her Freshman and Sophomore years. Her first contest work was by representing our school at the Boone Valley Declama- tory association held at Eagle Grove, May 11, 1900. She recited Bill Smith and in such a manner that she received first place. A After Winning first place in the humorous class and over all the contestants at the home contest held January 30th, 1007, she was chosen as our representative to the Northeastern Iowa association. She again fulfilled our fond hopes and arrived home Wearing a. medal which told the good news that she was the best speaker in the humorous class in Northeastern Iowa. After winning these honors it was necessary for her to defend her honors at Centerville, March 15, 1907. This was the first time in our school's history that we ever had a repre- sentative at the state contest. Miss Sheplee went to the state contest well prepared for any emergency and again distinguished herself, the senior class and in fact our whole town by .winning for Miss Elsie and Aunt Elnora's Herof' - L A Her record in four contests is four iirsts, a record which anyone has reason to feel proud of, and Miss Sheplee is indeed worthy of the honor and esteem in which she is held by both students and faculty of our school. 1 L CLIFFWQRD Oaowa, '07. -...i1-1 CLARION HIGH SCHOOL DECLAMATORY CONTEST Wednesday evening, 8 o'clock January 30th, 1907.

A Book Review of an Imaginary Story If popularity V were a test of the value of a book Nine Rails! would rank high in the literary world. We hardly dare in the face of its large sale to offer a word of unfavorable criticism and yet it goes against the grain to see such a fla- grant case of plagiarism bringing to its author thousands of dollars yearly, while hundreds of more deserving men are almost in beggary. A p The opening scene of the story is the entrance of a young Freshman to the college where his brother, then a Senior, has made an enviable record as pitcher on the base ball team, a plunging half in foot ball, and who stands a good show of winning the Rhodes scholarship. Through the influence of his brother, whose name, by the way, is John Bryant, the Freshman, James, is at once received into the best circles of college society and is incidently saved from the clutches 'of a loose crowd known as Jensenls Bunchf' The saving pro- cess included a good licking at John's hands, of Jensen, who is so enraged that he does not hesitate to use the most un- scrupulous means of getting even. The night before the Rhodes exam some of the papers are stolen and in the next dayls test John comes off with flying colors, while the other contestants, particularly Jensen, who is also entered, find the text exceptionally difficult. Suspicion at once points toward John as the thief and he is ostracized by his fellows. This guilt is thought to be proven beyond all doubt when the missing papers are found in his room by a committee appointed to search it. John quits his place on the foot ball teamand applies himself more assiduously to his studies, while Jensen takes his place at left half. U The Thanksgiving game is the grand climax of the story. YVith the score tied and but five minutes to play Jensen re- ceives a knock on the head which puts him out of the game and renders him delirious for an hour or more. In this delirium he confesses that it was he who stole the papers and placed them in John's room. John himself goes in, takes his old place at left-half and with a minute to spare crosses the line for a touchdown. He is the hero of the hour and at the reception in the evening whatever doubt might have been left is cleared away by the president of the college in his speech. The meeting closes with nine rahs for Johnnie l and apologies by all his teammates. Truly a remarkably entertaining story and if one had never read a book which was published in England about ten years ago under the name of Old St. Joseph, it would no doubt deserve it's present popularity. Space will not permit our quoting page after page of direct stealing from the older book, Wbut to any one who has the curiosity to look for themselves we would recommend the dormitory scene or the glee club practice. Such piracy is wicked and were we the owners of the English copyright there would in the language of Nine Rails! be something doing. ATHLETICS FOOT BALL a Clarion High School foot hall is slill modern history, dating back only to the year 1902, when Prof.eE. Fellows issued a call for candidates, to which twenty-one men responded, Under the leadership of Dr. Parsons as coach, a fast, aggressive bunch of players was developed that won three of live hard -contested games during the season. Practically the same men represented the school, on the gridiron the next season, displaying better form and playing better ball, and although handicapped by not having a regular coach, I they won five of the eight games they played. At the opening of the third season Captain John Sturgeon had twelve experienced players and several promising new men from which to pick a team. The management was fortunate enough to secure the services of John Van Liew, a former Iowa college star, as coach, and under his leadership the team vron the championship of Northwestern Towa. At the close of this season the team was at its best, having defeated some of the best teams in the state, notably Algonaf which was forced to accept defeat on Thanksgiving day by a score of twelve to six. ip y Q J The season of 1905 looked blue for Clarion, having lost the services of Coach Van Liew and three of the best players. There was, however, some new material' which showed up well. Rowen went to full back, but had hisfaiikle broken in the first game. Carmichael went to right-half and Stockwell to guard. The rest of the positions were held by old men. Despite the fact that the team was greatly crippled by injuries and the lack of a competent coach, seven out of the nine games played were won, the championship being lost to Ida Grove. The team of 1906 was composed of almost entirely new men, Zastrovln, Stockwell, Bryant and Rowen being all that 19 were left of the previous year's regulars. Though vastly out-weighed in every contest the team won the first game without. a coach. Later Rudolph Goslin, a former star tackle, was secured to train them. Among the new men who showed up well were Denio at full-back and t'Babe Goslin and Shorty', Burt at end and tackle. ' The prospects for 1907 are bright. Every one turn out and boost! L .

BASKET BALL TEAM CLARION HIGH SCHOOL BASKET BALL The basket ball team of 1904 started the season with Lyla Biddinger as captain, under whose splendid leadership we were victorious in several games and met defeat only twice, but in those games it was beef vs. science. Our team was considered the fastest and quickest in play around the country and with excellent guards we Were hard to beat. N9 team ever met ns on the field contident of victory, nor were we dnt-classed in a single game. The following is the lineaupz Lyla Biddinger, Capt., centre. i Nina Sturgeon, side centre.

Although We missed some of the last yearls team, their places were filled by competent players. Under splendid coaching, the team developed fine team work and would have had little fear in meeting any opponent, but ,the season was not favorable to basket ball, and it was with the greatest regret that we saw the close with only a few games played, but the spirit remains and it has done as much to stimulate loyalty to our High School as any other organiza- tion. i Long live basket ball!

Clarion has good reason to be proud of her track team. From the time Sturgeon made the first attempt in the 100 yard dash at the county meet. held at Clarion in 1905, to the exciting finish of the dual meet With Dows on May 31, 1906, the team has met with great success. Encouraged by local outside enthusiasts, inspired by the fidelity of the students, the individual members entered their respective events, not with a feeling of over-confidence, nor with a dread of losing, but with a determination to Win fairly and squarely, not to win for their own sake, but for the good old, dear old, Clarion High. ' At the Wright County High School Athletic association meet held at Clarion on June 6, 1905, Clarion easily carried away the honors, receiving therefor a handsome silver cup. Our sum-cess in this meet was due to the efforts of Sturgeon, Courson, Essick, Sheplee, Bryant, Smith and Goslin. Out of the possible 117 points, Clarion scored 75, by winning first place in ten events, second in six, third in two, and the relay race. Individual honors were awarded to Sturgeon, who placed to his credit a total of twenty-six points. The next attempt was made at Boone Valley Athletic association meet, held at Eagle Grove on May 11, 1906. Out of fifteen events, Clarion won first place six times, second three times, and third two times, making a total of forty-one points, and giving Clarion the honors of the meet. Here Clarion was again presented with a beautiful silver cup, set in an ebony stand, this one being presented by the business men of Eagle Grove on condition that it should be defended for three consecutive seasons. Courson, Rowen, Stockwell, Gil- lett, Sturgeon, Groslin, Bryant, F. Day and Ellicott were the point winners. The Clarion-Dows dual meet, held at Clarion on May 31, 1906, was also a grand success. Clarion secured fourteen first places out of fifteen events, second in nine, and third in Katheryn Walker: Kate Why can't she keep her mind in Clarion?

Courson, who the weekhefore won seven points at the state meet, carried away individual honors with six first places to his credit. So this, then, is the history of our track team. May the heroes of its early career live long in the memories of the students, and may their success be an inspiration and their ways a guidance, leading the new athletes on over the rough and tough routine of daily, practice to the glorious field of victory.

Minnie A.-Yes, Galt is a very small placeffor such great ambitions and we would advise you to try a larger place. Solberg, Cornelia or some such city.

Lawrence Spencer: Lyman, Lyman became famous April 1, 1907, the day on which he proved his geometric ability' T R E P A.I D Old Darrel looked after the tive boys and a gleam vof some- thing akin to a twinkle came into his eyes. He was an old man, tall and muscular, but his face showed signspf ,avarice and his pale blue eyes held a. steely, speculative. look., He was generally disliked by the people of the village, for r he was rich and close as the bark on a hickory tree. g, For company he cared nothing, had no friends and seldomopgned his mouth without tinding fault. He was noted ,thronghout the' town for his disagreeableness and no one ever went to his., home. It Was, therefore, surprising when that very day Tom Barkley and his four companions had walked deliberately up to his door and asked for money to help on the school library. V 'He sent them away empty handed but had given them his opinion of begging in strong terms, and to his intense surprise and secret admiration they turned the'tables, and in good,wwhole- some words he received their idea of him. That was the reason for that unwonted look of amusement on his face, for he had a contemptuous feeling in his heart for meek, watery humanity. By gad! he said to himself, them there youngsters do beat all. I ain't see'd nobody in a. long time that 'ad spunk like them. I declare, I believe Iid given them that twenty-five now, just to see 'em show their claws again. But the boys 'were highly indignant and thoroughly angry at what he had said. They were five of the most active youths in the village, in work and in play, and as Old Darrel had remarked, they would stand up for themselves and each other with dauntless courage. They disliked Darrel, and now, more than ever, for had he not grossly insulted their work? The old villian! exclaimed Ned Howell, he needs to be taught something, and that he's not boss of everybody. t'You bet he does,'l affirmed his brother Fatty as he waddled along, his round face flushed with indignation. Time had gone by uneventfully for the past several weeks and the mischievous natures in the boys were ready for some- thing. This trouble was a line foundation upon which to build their eseapade. Boys will be boys, as the old saying is, and the love of amusement at the cost of someone else was one of their favorite pastimes, They were good, upright fellows, never injured person or animal, and their deeds were harmless, though often irritating. , - . - , I say, fellowsfl spoke up Tom suddenly, the timels ripe for something doing. Do you know that Old Darrel's got a watermelon patch ? UNO? at the negative exclamations, Hwell he has, and it's a stunner. I found it out one night coming home from rehearsal. It's in that clump of black- berry, bushes at the back of his house. Good place, never suspect it. Melons are ripe now. Jumping Jupiter, just the thing, said Eli Brampton joy- fully. That'll nearly swamp him. Never knew him to give away as much as a strawf' Tend to make a raid, eh Barkley ? asked Fatty sugges- tively. That s the size of it, if you fellows want to go. We can do it tonight. , No suspicions. Hurrah for Barkley's common sense, and Fatty Howell for a big watermelon! and that young man patted his waist- coat in the regions ofihis bread-basket. Tom, my boy, you make life joy, hummed Bob Lovejoy gleefully. Of course welll go tonight. Let's see, it's six now, when shall we start ? . Nine-thirty is late enough. It's dark then and all will be well. It was a lovely night and by half past nine the boys were on their way. The stars looked down on the quintette, and blinked knowingly as the 'five dark forms glided into the shadows of the blackberry bushes. The moon obligingly turned her face the other way, hiding her big good-uatured smile, lest it should betray them by its very brightness. The little creek, which crept along on the other side of the bushes, murmured gently with soft little gurgles as a sleepy child. Hist, said Barkley softly, when they were within the shadows. We want to make sure of those melons. I'll go ahead and reconnoiter If all's well I'll whistled' He glided into the shrubs, and after a. few moments a low whistle gave the signal and the rest slipped quietly after Tom. He was awaiting them. Be careful, he cautioned, ther's a wireg I nearly ran into it. t'What's it there for? queried Bob in dulcet tones. Afraid its some fixin,' 'l he replied. Just be careful and don't blunder into it. Fatty was the last in and he tripped, but was so intent on the melons before him that he never thought on what he had stubbed his toe. But Old Barkley in his house heard a little bell tinkle. It was attached to the wire surrounding his melon patch, and grasping his gun he went softly down the back steps. The boys were hidden from him by the bushes, and he edged cautiously to his patch. With ears strained he slipped into the shrubs. By gosh l muttered he to himself, 'fthem kids. The imps. I wonder what they'll do next! It seems strange, perhaps, but he felt no anger when he found out who they were, but instead amusement and wonder at their imprudence over-whelmed him. Gad, they ain't afraid of Old.Darrel. They're going to pay him back. iVell, by gad! Tom's voice floated to his ears, 'SI say, this pays the old gentleman. I'm satisfied, ain't you ? His group of friends grunted. Yes, I'm sure satisfied with you, spoke up a voice that caused the mouths of five boys to fly open simultaneously and several lucious melons to fall to the ground with a hollow sound. Wha-a-a-t, stammered Fatty. It's only me, Old Darrel. Boys, I refused you twenty- tive dollars the other day, eh 'P' The boys had vague ideas of running, but curiosity and a seeming paralytic stroke held them. You did, sir, replied Tom Barkley. h Well Old Darrel likes your spunk, and you like his melons. I give you leave to eat all you want to. Pile your rines india heap, and here Qtaking a Wallet from his pocketj is your twenty-five, Youlve earned it, I reckon. He chuckled delightedly to himself as he handed it to Tom, who arose. His companions followed his example. '4M1'. Darrel, he said, in behalf of my companions, I beg your pardon for trespass- ingp We thank you for your kind oier and your gift. I-Ie proffered his hand, and for the first time in many years Old Darrel shook his fellowman by the hand. The other boys did the same and then they all sat down and ate a jolly lot of melons and really had the time of their lives. f ' . f .
