The Seniors We’re really very sorry That onr school life here is done For we’ve had a lot of trouble And we’ve had a lot of fun. So just listen while we tell you All about our Senior class And you’ll lear 1 the Histroy Of each laddie and each lass. We welcome “Fergie” to our school At least so say the girls We wonder which attracts them most His Whippet or his curls. “Skippy” is the teachers pet And you can just ask Odum When she hands in her history _test He always knows who wrote ’em. Davis is our athlete Of typical build for track Should he be challenged to a duel We pity the guy he’d meet. Myrtle is a striking blond s And a lovable little Swede In every class she does her best And usually takes the lead Ruth Carson too is here with us And giggling is her hobby But if you want to know some more Just go and ask “Baird Bobby’’. Joseph is the “Sweet’’ - est boy You surely will admit But once when asked to do some work He almost had a fit. And Colby too we often see Running here and there We wonder where’s the mustache That we used to see him wear. Foster is the flapper type We hope she doesn’t mind The boy who wins her hand heart Will surely have a “find”. We’ve tried so hard to understand Just what is wrong with Vernon And this is what we’ve figured out He hates the task of learnin’. We have a tall guy in our class Most commonly known as “Walt’ We’ve never seen him try it But we’re sure that he can vault. ‘ ‘Jerry” is a Senior too She knows a boy called “Phil” They went to Central to a show But Philip ptid the bill. Another member of our class A tall and stylish lady One of whom we’re all so fond That Bivens girl called “Sadie”. Tho’ Morris Brown comes at the last He’s far from being least We know he’s learned a lot at school And his knowledge has i iere .sed. And for Miss Graves we wish to say Our gratitude is strong It’s wonderful the way she’s tried To help us all along. Four years are gone, since we began We learn that we aie through And so we wish you all - Good Luck And pause to say - - ADIBU.

Mrs. Colli..s was our teacher. Sept. 1922 Bruce, our lit tie red-headed classmate, is bubbling over with knowledge so Mrs. Collins promotes him to the second grade so we lose one of our classmates. Amanda comes to school very proud of her new black and white patent leather button, shoes. Sept. 1923, Miss Taylor is our teacher this year. We wel- come to our class Lewellyn Kordgren, who was prom- oted from the second grade. John Benson and Mary Jane Foster also join our class. Sept. 1924. This year our classis again enlarged by three new members, Geraldine Shousey, Geraldine Shanahan and Walter Fosbury, who are to smart to stay in. the second grade. We also wel.ome Odessa Thompson whose long curls fascinate all the little boys. Walter walks home with Jerry Shananan and asks Mrs. Shanahan if he may stay and play awhile. Sept. 1925 This year we have another new member, Ruth Carson, whom the boys call “Kit” from way out west. This year Miss Lamberson entertains the class by standing on a chair to protect herself from the dan- ger of a mouse who had peacefully made its home in the dunce cap. We also have four new members Doris Morrison Violet Kluck, Donald Presnell and Morris Brown. Ruth Carson moved back out west. Sept. 1927. This year Miss Dinges is trying to make artists of us by starting an art club. Kieth Coakley and Harold Howe join our class. Sept. 1928. Miss Hilliard is our techer this year.

Sept. 192S This year Harry and Bertram Zieniker enter our class' Joe and Walter win an argument with Evelyn and Amanda over clear ing the fish bowl, when they re- turned Joe was carrying the rim of the bowl and be- hold the bottom had fallen out. of it. Sept. 1930 Ah, we are “freshies”. Our class welcomes eight new members, Myrtle Anderson, Rachel Crain, Nel- rene Stott, Clarence McConnel, Elden Madison, Harry Davis, James Kuzlka, and Odessa Thompson, who has been away for six years. Within a couple of w'eeks we lose Nelrene. The first remembrance of high school is the mixer, an excitment we shall never forget. About the end of the first six weeks we elect Mrs Vedder as our sponser. The latter part of the first semester we select green and white for our class colors, sweet peas and fernery for our class flower, “Finished Yet Beginning” for our class motto. The latter part of the year Rex Eamb enters our class. Sept. 1931 We have reached the second step ,but we are no longer ‘ ‘ green freshies ’ ’ but ‘ ‘ sophisticated sopho- mores. ’ ’ We have fifteen members having lost four of then in the freshman year—E den Madison, James Kuzelku. Rex Iamb, and Nelrine Stott. Wo have a new member entering vMh in —Dorothy Pr.z'er. Finding: Mrs. Vedder a very good sponsor, we chose her agaijn this year. As for ath’etics, our class isn't a bit .backward this yz r. We have quite a few out for football, and place second, next to the seniors who placed first in the high school basket ball tournament.

Revelry very much against marriage. The juniors invited us to the Junior-Senior haniue in the gym. Their scheme was that of a beautiful garden. The Seniors appreciate the effort it took in behalf of the Junior class to give us such a splendid banquet. We lose on 3 of our members —Clarence McConnell. On May 14 we sneaked to Lincoln going by ti uck. A good tun was had by a 1. Cur school days now come to a close, beginning with Baccalaureate services, May 13. The Reverend Mr. Price conducted the services, with the Reverend Mr. Jones assisting with Invocation and reading of Scripture. Wednesday, May 16, with eighth gradei graduation was class night. The class will, history, prophecy, and poem were read. On Thursday, May 17, Commencement exercises were he;d. Our school days are now ended and we are now started on the road of Life. We, the Seniors appreciate very much the efforts of the faculty, who have instructed and trained us to take our places in the world. • SENIOR CLASS WILL We the Senior Class of 1934 being of sound mind do hereby leave the following said articles to the under- named organisations and perssons. First we order and direct the Junior Class to pay ail our just debts and graduation expenses a; soon after our decease as conveniently possible. We the Seniors, the intelligencers, give ti ahe in- telligent Sophomores our intellectualness in order that they may have more sophomorical intellect To th'. vevdant 'nfr-.nts, the Freshmen, v:e leave the fir t ten thousand dollars from the receipts of the lien‘or Class play, and said fund to be put in the First Bui’ding and Loan Association, the interest thereon t be us-2 11 provide a. sufficient supply of Cozier’s Dairy -.il k. Any additional surplus of said fund will prubsby be needed for bibs and all day suckers. o the leadisrs we wish to give our thanks for their pr.t.ent work with us. We fear that we have been a lit tryng at times. 1 Elvia Foster leaves her rouge, eye brew pencil (if any remains), and povder box to Kathleen Souser. 2 Rrdph Ferguson leaves to “Biackie” Gibson the good advice to leave both hands on the steering wheel when diiving. 3 Geraldine Shanahan bequeaths her eternal ques- Fon, Have yen got this stuff?” (meaning her history or pedagogy) to Donna Cowgilh 4 Amanda Larson gives her “pattering footsteps” to Leo Yrkoslri. 5 Vernon Zimmerman bequeaths his “shinning star” countenance to “Dolly” Harmon.

Becker. 0 Hairy Davis says he won’t leave nothing to nobody, 'cause- it took him coo long- to acquire what he has. 10 Myrtle Anderson wills to Pauline Sanchez her peroxide curls. 11 Joe Sweet leaves to Glen Luft his smooth hiny pompadour rnd bott'e of perfumed lard. 12 jover n ILvens leaves to Jean Souser her passion for red-haired men. 13 Walter Fosbury wishes to bestow his vocal pow- ers and long legs to Bob Divine. SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY I have a letter here that, I believe, will be of great interest to the friends and relatives of the Class of “34” and tins is the way it begins Washington, D. C. May 12, 1950 Dear Evelyn:— I gladly received your letter of the first and am writing in return to tell you the news which I have recently heard. Did you know that Geraldine Shanahan, the girl we used to call Friltzi Ritz, is a dietician in the Douglas Hospital at Worms, Nebr.? I’ve heard that she enjoys her work there, and that Dr. Philip Douglas enjoys hav- inr her there. To have heard them talk of each other balik in High School, one would doubt if their “case” would last this long. And that reminds me that Harry Davis is in Paris now buying Ladies’ Wearing apparal for Kenneth Col- by’s Style Shoppe. Who ever thought that “Colby for Governor” would ever allow his “Freshman Senorita” convince h.m to own a style shop, or that “What’s the Use” Davis would go in for buying Ladies’ Dresses! I iv.„nd an article in the paper last Sunday sj out a book written by Morris Erovn, called “The Cause and Cure of Sleeping Sickness”, and upon investigation I found that the paper was “The Thummel Daily Gossip” and that the euAor was Morris Brown, himself. Do you remember how he used to come to school late ev- ery morn'ng and then s.ecp some more after he got there? I suppose you know that Walter Fosbury never continued his career as a singer, but is contentedly batching cn a sheep ranch some place in the Sandhills where the mail goes three tones a week and therefore he gets two loiters at a time from the little g.ri that was a Freshman when he was a Senior. It has been whispered around that tne leal names of the World’s Greatest Radio Comedians, Aunt Sophia and Uncle Bob, are to be revealed in a short time. Everyone knows that Aunt Sophia is Ruth Carson but we can’t imagine who Uncle Bob is. Oh, yes, perhaps you would be interested in this too. As we went through Lincoln, Nebraska, a while back, we stopped at the New Ideal Barred Rock Poultry Farm which is connected with the� College of Agricul- ture, and it happened that Myrtle Anderson was our hostess. You remember Ralph Ferguson from the “Hill”, don’t you? Well, he is driving the main bus between New York and San Francisico, but he is a different driv- er than when he was in High School because1 now he is careful when turning corners and he uses both hands all of the time. Vernon Zimmerman is making a scientific research on the rice industry. Of course that is notlvng out of the ordinary because he was interested in Rice when in High School. The other day when in the Larson and Larson De- partment Store, Amanda told me that back in 1935, Joe Sweet was a substitute teacher for his sister, Ethel, and liked it so well that now he teaches Normal Train- ing at Paddock High School, (and you know what he thought of Normal Training in Clarks.) And speaking of this Larson and Larson Store, isn’t it queer that after going with all the young men available that Amanda should decide upon a man Lh the same name. Elvia Foster is making her home in a Lookout Sta- tion watching for fires and Mike. And as for you, Evelyn, I congratulate you for havng received the. position of head waitress in the Pole Cat Inn. That’s all for this time as the President wanks me to take some dictation at 1:00.

This class was exceptional in the fact that they were not quite so green as Freshies of former years. We have the honor of having a large number of the members of our class belong to the scholarship club which was organized in 1933. This year the Skralc was edited by the Junior Jour- nalism rrcudents. It was published in the Clarks En- terprise weekly. Positions on the staff were changed every two weeks. During the latter part of the first semester we held our first party of the year. The entetainmrnt was provided by Mr. Kasper, our class sponsor. On April 4 and 5 the Junior Class play, “ Vs The Clock Strikes”, was given in the high school auditori- um. The play was directed by the dramatics teacher. Miss Whitman. It proved to be a great success. The money derived from this play was used to put on the Junior-Senior brnquet. The idea of a flower garden wrs carried out in the decorations. We, the Junior Class, hope to make a better show- ing as Seniors than we have in former years. AS BIRDS SING j. .•It . - • As -birds ’• do sing, so would I sing, Of marvelous beauties of the sky, - .

Of the original twenty-two there are eighteen left. We also have one new mem- ber, Iona Rice, whe joined us in the second semester of last year. Very early in our freshman year we were initiated into the school at the mixer. We felt very much ab- used after we had been forced to eat onions and to keep the fire blazing; but we bore it with a smile and joined in the games for the rest of the evening. In January we had our first class party. We be- gan it by playing ping-pong, and we finished it with a basketball game. At the end of the school year we hiked with our spon- sor, Mrs. Melvin, to the river where we had a wiener roast. We arrived home when it was nearly dark, and all of us had a fine time in spite of the extra wiener3 we had eaten. This year we came back, with all the green worn off, to take up our duties as Sophomores. Miss Whitman was appointed as our sponsor. We chose an early date for our class party. Near- ly all of us were there, and we all enjoyed ourselves playing touring, rummy, and other games. So ends the book of the Sophomores until next year when we will come back to school as Juniors. €PH€M€CE CL41 Dale Madison Lenord Kohloff Warren Harman John Feehan Royal Gibson Alfred Sweet Roy Weaver Willard Madison Robert Sherwood Durwood Foster Robert Devine Iona Rice Pamella Wallace Mamie Noble Phyllis Douglas Donna Cowgill Kathleen Souser Richard Rines Sponsor Miss Whitman FUESHM EN ♦ fEE HAi N CL4W Colors Lavender Green Flower Peony Motto : A quitter never wins A winner never quits clajx crriciEEX President Jean Souser Vice President Lora Hossle Treasurer Virginia Whetstine Secretary Mildred Smith Student Council Pauline Cook Sponsor Mr. Vedder ENECLEMENT Alice Steger Emma Pickerel Catherine Miller Pauline Cook Dorothy Kiolbasa Jean Souser Jack Stumpff Doris Rice Theordore Kiolbasa Leo Yrkoski Lambert Zoucha Ernest Madison Glen Luft Raymond Stancyek Mildred Smith Wilma Mustard Virginia Whetstiue Gladys Luft Pauline Sanchez Gerald Wagner Marcella Devine Lora Hossle Dorothy Key Earl Becker fKCSSIMEN CLAJJ Mr Vedder Alice Steger Emma Pickerel Catherine Miller Pauline Cook Dorothy Kiolbasa Jean Souser Jack Stumpff Theodore Kiolbasa Leo Yrkoski Lambert Zoucha Ernest Madison Glen Luft Raymond Stancyzk Mildred Smith Wilma Mustard Doris Rice Virginia Whetstine Gladys Luft Marcella Devine Lora Hosr'.e HISTORY OF THE FRESHMAN CLASS The timid little Freshmen are going around the halls lice a group of lost lanfos.

It was the mixer but all the litt'e lambs are still here end not so shy. The Freshman class stalled with twenty-eight mem- bers, Jjut it has been reduced to twenty-four mem- bers. Eugene Melvin moved to Kearney; Stella Beck, James Booth, ar.d Be oert Booth dropped out during the year. The Freshman sponsor is Mr. Vedder The Freshmen finally announced the first party two weeks before Christmas, Decem|ber 11. Five pupils were able to make the K. 0. 0. Club. They were: Eugene Melvin, Jean Souser, Mildred Smith, Lora Hoss e, and Virginia Whet-.tine. The last days of school are arriving and the Fresh- men are planning a real picnic. They are going a- cross the river somewhere. Well next year the Freshmen of 1934 will be Sopho- mores and tease the Freshmen of 1935. Won’t that bo fun? Harry R.

It was a frame building, south of the track where the Ora Graves reside ice now stands. A sixth grade edu- cation was the best pupils of that day could obtain. In the year 1875 another frame budding was built one block south of the present school house. It was a two story building containing three rooms, one up- stairs and two downstairs. In this building the grades numbered eight. It was not until the year of 1885 that a graded system was introduced. This was done by the princi- pal, Mr. Porter. About this time a school was erected across the street east for the lower grades which was called the “ The lien Coop College”. Mr. Porter was the principal of the first graduat- i lg class which consisted of our citizen William Hig- gins and his classmate Bernice Birch. The pupils of this class and following classes had many good times such as dancing, ice skating, hay rack riding, and roller skating. Roller skating parties took place on a rink located in the Dudney - Shanahan block. The school house was heated by stoves. Having r.o janitor to tend the fire the boys took turns carry- ing in coal. Early i:i 1888 a biick building was erected where the sunken flower garden of the present day is now located. This school added the eleventh and twelfth g 'ades. The teachers numbered six until 1914 when the number leaped to nine. In the ye 1 1904 the first Alumni Banquet was held in Campbells Hall. The next banquet, an elabor- ate affair four years later, was held in Hotel White. The greeting was given by Raymond Douglas of the class of 1907. About this time baseball and then basketball was introduced into the school. The frame building which proceeded the brick building of ’88 was made into an opera house which was Clarks’ amusement center for many years . All of the commencement exercises were held here until 1919 after the building of the present school house in 1917 . The opera house was condemned as a fire liazzard and unfit for use. The smallest graduating class of Clarks was in 1894. The sole graduate being Effie Ke:n The largest was in 1931 when twenty eight graduated. May Clarks’ schools continue to progress as they have in the past. Stand by Your School If you think your school’s the Tell ’em so ! If you’d have it lead the rest, Help it grow.

HISTCCy Cf CLAES S SCHCCfc. $£AL I;i the year of 1929, the Clarks High School made a decision that they would decide upon a definite crest for their ring. The reason was to distinguish our rings from other schools’, something which would be ori- ginal. Two members were appointed from each class to form a committee. They were to decide upon the question. An old settler had told or.e member of the com- mittee that DeSoto had passed through the hills south- east of Clarks during the Spanish Invasion. This story seemed to appeal to the committee. With a few touches of imagination, the story finally suited our purpose. The crest of our ring pictures a man standing on a hill, with arm out stretched, pointing toward the spot where Clarks now stands, predicting its origina- tion. This idea was voted upon by the high school; it was approved. The crest is very original and it means much to graduates of our school. We owe our thanks to this Committee.

It is rather unusual for a school to enter sev- en events at a contest and place in all of them. This proves that we have a very strong department and some very good instructors. Miss Peterson has all the grade music. She has or- ganized a rhythm class for the first and second grades. This little group is known as the Toy Orchestra. They are getting valuable experience and are learning the first fundamental of music, which is rhythm. Mr. Vedder has all the vocal work in high school. All high school students may belong to the chorus. From this group special voices are picked for the oth- er groups, 2s girls’ trio, girls’ glee club, girls’ octet, and boys’ gl'ee cluib. Mr. Vedder has developed some fine voices in the years that he has been here. Mr. Sheppard has charge of the instrumental music. He gives individual instructions to students who are in- terested. He has organized two band group-. The advanced students and people of town who care to en- ter, comprise the senior band. Beginning students form the junior band. Then there is the orchestra of high school students. This group meets once a week for practice. Much credit and praise is due Mr. Sheppard for his splendid work this year in both band and orchestra, and especially with the sextet, which took first place at the state contest and second at the district. We recall the old saying “Music lightens toil”. That may be the rea- son why our school ranks high in scholarship. THE MUSIC DEPARTMENT A most importent part of the curriculum of a public tchcol ‘s the study and appreciation of music. Along this line three programs were given and in addition the school v 03 represented at the music contest by groups and individuals. The first mu ical, given during the firht semester, opened with some numbers by one of the gride chorus- es. Following this, the grade orchestra played three numbers. The Gir’s’ Octet sang two number. , “Mr. Lindy Lou” and “Where My Caravan Has Rested”. Next the Boys’ Glee Club sang “I saw Sammie” and “A.l Through the Night”. The Senior Band played three numbers, after which the Girls’ Glee Club followed with “The Good Night Seng” from a Day In Venice. The musical closed with the high school chorus singing “The Sleigh” and “Songs My Mother Taught Me”. The second musical consisted of the following num- bers: Toy orchestra playing “The Shoemakers Dance”, “Norwegian Mountain Dance”, “Pop Goes the Weasel”, and “Onwai-d Christian Soldiers”. Donald Stumpff gave a reading “A Victim to a Hun- dred and Seven Different Maladies” The grade chorus s' ng, “Tom, Tom, the Piper’s Son”, “Rolln’ Along”, and “Tinkling Ril’s”. FhiMp Douglas read “Willie, the Worm”' The Sex- tet played “Meditation” and “March of the Ncoles”. Three skits from the operetta were given; they v ere the hunting and robber scenes, and “They Say Givis C: n’t Keen Secrets”. The third v.rovrrm v.as a romantic mu.ls'i comedy, “The Gypsy Rover”, given by the High School chorus under the directic of Mr. Vedder. T he operetta is in three acts and bui t around the char: cter of Rob, later known as Sir Gi beat Howe, of English nobility. Rob is stolen when tn infant by his nurse, Meg, who later becomes the wife of Marto, a gyp- zy. Lob grows to manhood among the gypsies believ- ing Meg and Marto to be his pai'ents. It happens one day, while ridingwith her fiance, Lord Craven, Lady Constance Martindale becomes lost in the woods. They wander to the gypsy carnp where Conatance and Rob meet and fall in love at first sight. Craven violently objects to Rob’s attitude, but finally tells Sir George, who later comes in search of Con- stance, that he is a charming fellow. In act two, Rob goes to the home of Constance and serenades her. They pirn to elope but are overheard by Craven, who at once Informs Sir George, and plans are made to cap- turo Rob. This is sucessfully accomplished, and Rob is thrown into prison, but later escapes. Two years elapse and Rob has come into h’s estates, his identity having been proven by Meg. He becomes a sucessful composer, a friend of the Prince, and a social lion. Constance has remained true to her lover end on his return to England, Rclb woos and wins her for his wife. “The story”, says Rob, “can end in the proper way —‘They lived happily ever after’ ”. The cast was as follows: Meg, an old gypsy woman, Elizabeth Lavelle Zara, belle of the camp, Lucille Krong Marto, Meg’s husband, James Roach Slnfo, gypsy lad in love with Zara, Vernon Zimmerman Rob, the Gypsy Rover, Philip Douglas Lady Constance, daughter of Sir George Martindale, Ruth Carson Lord Craven, an English fop, Cecil Larson Nina, Sir George’s second daughter, Mamie Noble Sir George Martindale, Walter Fosbury Butler, John Joe Fechan Captain Jerome, Captain in the English army, Dona'd Schank Sir Toby Lyon, a society butterfly, Kenneth Colby McCorc'e, A London publisher of songs, Morris Brown Chorus— Gypsies, Barnes, Squires, gypsy children, and fairies. - Our school was cxxditably represented in the music contest, held at Albion, Nebraska, April 13 and 14. Walter Fosbury sang “Oh Lord What a Morning”, and “Jean”. He placed first. The brass sextet, composed of Walter Fosbury, Phyl- lis Douglas, Parnella Wallace, Philip Douglas, Virginia Whetstine, and Veinon Zimmerman, played two num- bex s, “March of the Nobles” and “Meditation”. They also placed first. Kathleen Souser played a violin solo, “Romance”. She placed second. James Roach played a piano solo, “The Torrent of the Mountain”, The girls’ trio, composed of Ruth Cai'son, Lucille Krong, and Virginia Whetstine sang two numbers, “Good Night Song” and “Where My Caravans Have Rested”. Eliz- abeth Lavelle sang “When the Heart Was Young”. Philip Douglas played a baritone solo, “The Wanderer” The last four placed third, which meant that Clarks placed in everything they entered. Walter Fosbury and the sextet entered the Lincoln contest and placed second and first respectively. 1933 NEBRASKA YOUNG CITIZEN’S CONTEST This year Clarks High School sent four representa- tives to the Citizenship contest sponsered by the Amer- ican Legion and the World Hei’ald. Our representa- tives were Donna Cowgill, Phyllis Douglas, James Roach, and Waite- Fosbury. The intelligence tests were speed tests calling for steadiness and accuracy. Several parts of the test covered spelling, correct word usage, arrangement of sentences, etc. Next came a personality test. Questions were ask- ed to test the steadiness and balance of the nerves and bra!n. The afternoon was spent by the contestants in ex- ploring the court house and walking about town while waiting for the decision of the judges. A short physical examination completed the test. Two Clarks girls Donna Cowgill and Phyllis Douglas tied for first place. In the final deciaon, Miss Doug- las’ name was sent in as first. James Roach tied for second place among the boys. Clarks High School as very proud of its records in the Nebraska Young Citizens Contest.

MY CASTLE IN THE AIR One day I built a castle in the air, A teacher good and true I hoped to be. And pupils small would he my onl|y care, That dream has passed; I was a traveler free, Who studied many paintings of the sea By artists true; That dream e’re long had prssed, A poet, I, who loved life’s harmony, And -wrote :n ocr.g the strange tales of the past: 0 dream of dreams! ’Tis Time shall name the dream that lasts.

The Fat Boy In The Back Seat Says - i Another year of torture and torment has begun . ir All you hear about now is “streamline”. About the next tiling will be streamlined vest buttons. hi It is mighty nice of the teachers to get a daily paper so the children can read the “funnies”. iv The Freshies must have enjoyed the Mixer. v Five weeks are up : guess maybe I’b better be getting in two book reports. vi Our football team couldn’t get “warmed up” until the last game. vi i Basketball teams seem to be doing fairly well. viii Santa Claus went broke and therefore didn’t visit us this year. ix I wonder if the Junior play will be as good as the Senior’s. x This beautiful spring weather is giving me the sp i .g fever. xi Miss Whitman is surely a good jailor. She usu- ally has a house full of convicts. xii Miss Graves should start a morticians league and embalm those fish. xiii I wonder how the Freshies got along without their Valentine party. xiv We are going to have about twenty expeit butchers in the biology class. Everyone you hear is speaking about the last fish, toad or frog they cut up. xv I had to laugh when Warren Harmon was ask- ed what the study of insects was called and he answer- ed “Bugology”. xvi Standardized tests are given to find out how dumb a guy is. xvii There seems to be an argument in History ten about what a handwriting expert can do or can’t. xvi 11 Isn’t it just grand when the teacher goes out of the room and doesn’t come back for a while? xix All we can hear row is - did you get your Gypsy costume, etc. xx The new ruling made by Mr. Vedder means that I will have to start reading two books on the four- th week instead of the fifth. xxi The Gypsy Rover was a great success. xxii The teachers are certainly nice. They took all the high school pupils down to see the U. P.’s r.ew streamlined train. xxii i It looks as though we have some poets in Eng- lish. xxiv We surely have a queer class of seniors. They haven’t even “high-hatted” us yet. nuv There isn’t a member of the geometry io class th .t can’t tell you what a straight line is. xxvi No v for a week of rest and relaxation. The Sen- iors hive gone out to do their practice teaching. xxvii Only about eight weeks of schools left. It won’t be long now. :: :yi ii After we get through with tl:e spelling and vocabulary exercises in English we will have some champion spellers and others that will be ready to defy W ebster. xxix The most common talk after you get your re- port card is “How many AV’? The rest doesn't seem to matter. xxx It will only be a short time until Clarks High will be losing another bunch of Seniors [good rid- ance]. xxxi I wonder if they will give us a picnic this year. xxxi i The last day of school at last. Everybody is hoping that the Freshies will be Sophomores, that the Sophs will be Juniors, that the Juniors will be Seniors, and that the Seniors will be ? ? ? Miss Nancy Dear Miss Nancy: How can I keep from having such a dumb Senior History class next year as I have had this year? I have tried to do my best but it real'y seems of no use. When I wentto school the motto was, “Spare the rod and Spoil the child”, but the motto today seems to be, “Spoil the ch'ld if you have to spare the rod to do it. This is my question— Is there any way to get back the use of thei pood old hickory- sticks in teaching A mci'ican History? Mr. Odum. Dear Mr. Odum: Don't worry too much about your future classes because in all probability they wont be as lazy as this year’s class. But if they are I’d advise the use of a live thousand word theme each six weeks to work them urn Miss Nancy Dear Miss Nancy: Why are girls so funny? At the first of the year I was almost certain that one of the piump Freshman glirls liked me, so I asked her for a date. After that she began giving me the “cold shoulder”. I haven’t the least idea what it’s all about. Do you think I should waste my time trying to nr-ke up to Dear Miss Nancy: Please tell me what toeat that v i.l make me ■ row big tnd tail like Boland Gibson. IM like to get me a girt tut they oil say I'm too smalt ,. Do you th-nk Spinach would help? Ravmcnd Stanczyk Dear Raymond: Yes, be sure to eat spinach and hamburger. I believe it might help if you would wear a ten gallon hat and ladies’ spike heels. Above all don’t forget to stand up straight. lyrioe Mimr� Dear Miss Nancy: My boy friend says that he in go.ng to Cen- tral City to high s.hool next year. Do you thin): there ia r.ny way to keep him here at O rks. 1 an airaid it will be dreadfully dull without him. T7 _ i. „ C Dear Kate: If Bob wants to go to Central City next year, let him go. He will probably bo bock betoro the first week is up and it wilii be an educational ex- perience for him. At least don t start to woav un- til he has actually left. Dear Miss Nancy: I got a letter from my girl friend at Fu.ler- ton the other day and she asked me to “come up and see her some time”. Shall I go now ov v a.t un..i school is out? “Pepper” Randall Dear Pepper: You had better wait until school is out to go up to see her and then you’ll have time to stay longer. Miss iNancy her, or should I consider some of the Sophomore girls who think I have such beautiful wavy hair? j Alfred Sweet. Dear Alfred: If I were you I wouldn’t think of chasing a- round after a girl who refused a date, and if some of the Sophomore girls like your wavy hair they prob- ably lilcc you even better. I’d at least advise you to drop the Freshman. Miss Nancy. Dear Miss Nancy: Most people like to 'be popular, but I have discovered that there is such a thing as being too pop- ular. Two girls eame to the track meet on May 1st, end charged their tickets to me and it was s o embar- ass:ng. P ease tell me what I can do to become un- popular. Bruce Cowgill Dear Bruce: First of all, I think I would teach my girl friends net to get too fresh. You are so handsome th t I don’t believe you could ever become unpopular, es oe aly to girls who are “red hair fiends”. ' Miss Nancy Dear Miss Nancy: How can I persuade my new boy friend to t:ke a pcs ; fruduate course so that he will still Do in hr,h school next year? Do you think I am too young to go with a Senior? Doris Rice. Dear Doris: Perhrps :‘f you talk to your boy friend e- nough, he will be glad- to consent to take tho post gradurle vrer’. You are rather young to go with a Senior, but if he doesn’t care I’m sure no one else does. Miss Nancy KNOWSY KNOW A LOT ; ince the passing of Kwowsy Know A Lot last spring thc-.e has. been veiy little said cr heard of him, 'but never the less Enov.sy has had his eyes open to the go- iir.s cn of the student body. Ena way Sees A Lot— Kncw.y Hears A Let— Knowsy Teas A Lot-— and Enov.sy Knows A Lot more that he doesn’t teli. So, vo 11 —well —well —your old friend and counselor is back among you with plenty of new and assorted dope, scandal, herrsuy, etcetera. Did you, for the. slightest moment or even smaLer, think that Knowsy had neglected his duty? It takes more than a depression and a discontinuance of the Skralc to keep Knowsy from his sleuthing. The scouts have reported a number of things, so here goes for a full grown confession. Have you noticed that Bud has more cr less recover- ed from his wanderlust, since he became an inmate in Miss Moormen’s “Home for Wandering Boys?” It simply gees to : how that will power can cure any or most afflictions, providing the right person has the will power. Buck claims that all they need is bars cn the windows, but I feel that Mias Moorman would not care to have people think that she was keeping a zoo. What young Romeo has taken to wearing flowers on his overalls and spelling his last name De Vyne? You big rosebud! Of course we wouldn’t run to Cdrm w.th this inform- ation but— if Rex Thomas hrd not attended our Field Day, Whit-ey would have c-vsi y won the discus event instead of placing third. Be you get it?? I have had reports of a jot of trifling on the part of one of our Juniors. I wouldn’t care to mention names but he plays Baritone rnd drives a new Pontiac. Can you imagine one Jun.or man interesting two Senior girls, c-nc Junior girl, and one Freshman girl? It just goes to show what application can do. Okay— Cable. Earl “Becky Wecky” Becker is going to be a much better boy by the time he has plowed thru “Old Man Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress. Becky was indicted on a charge of frequenting the furnace room too often, and he wasn’t there to get warm either— if you know what I mean. Errl says that what this counti'y needs is more and mere and more and more literature. Euddy “Good Bar” Schank is no longer the number one man either at the Marshall home (Riverside) or the Noble Rancho. Buck’s fling with “Skirpy” Larson wTas short. “Feet” Stanczyk hit loose gravel and cracked up with the bike. Clarks High is. very liable to have one very prominent alumnus in the next few years. We refer to that great exponent of Bolshevism, Mr. Vernie Zimmerman. He just about queered the rings, class play and other school activities. A first rate agitator is Vernie— All he needs is a soap box. Why shouldn’t a guy want to agree once in a while? Bruce Cowgfl P. G. (and P. G. doesn’t mean Post Graduate, it means “Prefers Girls) cei’tainly enjoyed developing pictures when the Rivers'de students were helping. He had the same ailment last spring if you will kindly remember. Clarks High has the champion “Gonna Quit Schooler” of the state. Ruth has four threats to her credit. An- y cne knowing of a person with a better record, is re- quested to get in touch with Knowsy. “Micky Moust” Sanchez and “Primo Camera” Car- son fought at Grand Island a couple of times the past year and both took second. Carson, howrever took first in his bout with L rson. It looked as if ho used a sledge or a ball bat— Anyhow that’s one wsy to win a fight. Odum believes he will have a roller sliating team in- stead of a football team next year. The boys seem to train harder for it. Jack would have lettered on a skate team. “Stogie” Colby has a confederate most of the year. Rip “Smudge” Brown, “Chief Smoke in the Eyes” Jack- ie Stumpff will be the best of the group by the time he is a big boy, providing some of the fair sex don’t im- prove. “Old Teddy” Kiolbasa looks like he is going to' be a faster driver than either Rodewald or Thomas was. He is only a freshman too. What Freshman trombone player has been escorted homeward by a ball Senior cornetist? the Senior play practice was a trying time for Phil on account of this same cornetist. Phil just about jerked the Ford to pieces when he mistook Larson’s demonstrator for the “New Pontiac”. People should honk when approaching parked cars. CAN SOME ONE TELL ME WHY 1 Cecil and Lucille “phitt”? 2 A certain young lady gave up Latin for romance? 3 A1 Rice turned up late for basket ball game —In fact wasn’t here when the game started? 4 Some of our people try to beat the book tests—get caught— then squawk? 5 Some passed their book test the first time with a flourish, but didn’t register so well on the revised test? 6 We seem to have more than our share of boys with curly hair— Ye olde curlio— 7 There were so many Central City girls visiting our school?— Micky and Richard won’t tell. 8 Don Stumpff can’t see Clarks girls but can see as far as Silver Creek? 9 Alice Kohl suddenly started to pass her book tests with a bang? 10 Less than 50% of the students of our school sup- ported activities th’s year by buying a student ticket? 11 Charles Colder and Morris Brown would pick the manual training room for a card party— unless it was because Mr. Vedder was gone? 12 Some will neither work on the courts or buy a t.c efc but stili expect— and demand —to play? 13 Jackie and Glenie didn’t ask the girls for dates, the night of the freshman party, instead of sending “Eecky Wecky” Becker? THINGS I NEVER KNEW TILL NOW (With apologies to Winchel) ___That Cec. Larson has dropped out of the Setanpet Club. —That his membership was taken by A1 Rice. ___That a couple of High School girls go to the depot every noon to see if the train is on time. OH, YEAH. —That Alice end Rosie are quite —Uh huh— about each other. —That Lora and Jim are practically delirious. —That Mr. Sanchez was forced to buy a car to keep “Micky Mouse Sanchez, the Old Drill Master, from walking to Central City four times a week. —That a certain post graduate has a dog that answers to the same name that is the family name of a cer- tain Sophomore girl. What we need is some furrrces with steam lines on them. We had plenty of ice cream for once on all-school day. The lawn chairs that the manual training boys make are fine to sit in. We didn't use so much coal this winter. The and torium looks pretty good with all the refin- ished seats. Our basket ball team wasn’t any better this year. The students in high school make juft as much fuss about getting: in book reports a?; ever. We ought to have a good foot ball team next year. I wonder how many students passed a'l their book k oi’ts, this year. I-Ie’s sure'y clad when school h out because he’ll get to rest all summer. I wonder what the freshmen Ih'nk of high school by now. I wonder if there’s anyone who is not glad school is about out. He wonders how m-ny of the teachers arc going to Califcin a to spend the summer. I wonder what the Seniors think about school by this time. I wonder how many students will be glad when school starts again. Promotion Certiorates High School Diplomas Class Rings Club Pins T. C.
