Page Sixteen 0kss rpoem As spring comes along, With its birds and song, And flowers and all that is beautiful. A class will depart From the school of their heart, To begin life’s work so dutiful. Some will meet strife, As they go out in life. But with coui-age, let us enter the race, And do what is right, With all our might, As Victors, we’ll then have a place. When trials come in view, Let us meet them, and smile thru’. There’s always seme blue in the sky. And tho’ the silver lining, May not always be shining, Remember there’s no time to sigh. Then “Deeds, not dreams” Will away with our schemes, And true to our motto we’ll be. If we all do our best, We’ll then stand the test So here’s to the Class of ’23. LUCILE WALCOTT.

It never becomes a reality until we have be- come Seniors ourselves anti appear here tonight. And so we are very glad to welcome you, for we also realize that it is you who have made this evening possible for us. So, in the name of the Class of ’23, I extend a whole-hearted welcome to you. We’re glad to see so many Moth- ers and Fathers here. It makes us realize more than ever before the oppor- tunity they have given us. Tonight, we are actually appearing as graduates of Coopersville High School. We have looked forward to this night as one of victory, after which a great battle has been won. If only we could graduate we would have completed our course! It w’as our one aim. And now we have reached that goal. I wonder if our battle is actually won? If the crown of victory has already been placed upon our brows? Yes, we are graduates, but it is only one of the smallest battles. Greater struggles and battles loom up before us. This is indeed Commencement! Each one begins his journey through life. Each one with a different aim. Each one on a different ro2d But we all struggle for something, we all have some object in view—and we truly believe in “DEEDS, not dreams.” We have had our dreams in High School, and now’ wre are going to carry them out. Deeds,—just a small, insignificant wcrd and still what a wonderful meaning it has! A person is known by his deeds. His reputation depends on his deeds. His character depends on his deeds. Each one of us going out into the world, must perform deeds. Deeds that will make this world a better place in which to live. Deeds that will be looked upon with pride by the citizens of Coopersville. It’s the deeds that we will do after leaving here tonight, that we will be remembered by. Graduation carries with it a great responsibility. Each one has talents and must use them to the best cf his ability. Use them in lifting mankind to a higher level. We can do great deeds in this world—deeds that will be called honorable and great in years to come. We will also, meet with diffi- culties but must struggle to rise above them. We must be determined, and overcome them, thus we become stronger. Our glory at the end will be that much greater. If we journey through life on a path strewn with roses there is no glory in the victory. But things fought for and won stir our hearts with a feeling cf pride and create in us greater determination to succeed. We should be prepared to meet these responsibilities. It requires a char- acter that has been built with labor and care. A character that reveals these strong points—determination, courage, fearlessness, and an earnest endeavor Page Twenty to succeed. These characteristics must develop and become stronger by overcoming all difficulties. It will, indeed, be difficult and requires Help from above. Still, we may be assured, that with determination and a cheerful out- look we will surely succeed in the end. We are all aware of the fact that it is going to be difficult. It has been suggested and spoken of at nearly every occasion. As we are about to go into the world, leaving our many friends and much that is dear to us behind, we are going to remember that Life contains but a Single Standard as shown to us by Edgar A. Guest:— There are a thousand ways to cheat and a thousand ways to sin; There are ways uncounted to lose the game, but there’s only one way to win; And whether you live by the sweat of your brow or in luxury’s garb you’re dressed, You shall stand at last, when your race is run, to be judged by the single test. Some men lie by the things they make; seme lie in the deeds they do; And some play false for a woman’s love, and some for a cheer or two; Some rise to fame by the force of sk'll, or great by the might of power, Then wreck the temple they toiled to build, in a single, shameful hour. The follies outnumber the virtues good; sin lures in a thousand ways; But slow is the growth of man’s character and patience must mark his days; For only those victories shall count, w-hen the work of life is done, Which bear the stamp of an honest man, and by courage and faith were wron. There are a thousand ways to fail, but only one way to win! Sham cannot cover the wrong ycu do nor wash out a single sin, And never shall victory come to you, whatever of skill you do Save you’ve done your best in the work of life and unto your best were true. JEWEL LIEFFERS. TPage Twenty-on6 svllb JJljjh 5c|v o!| history of the 0lass of ’23 S THE Senior year is rapidly drawing to a close, and each one is about to launch his boat on life’s stream, our thoughts dwell on those happy days nearly over. One nice morning in September, 1919, thirty-three, insignificant, little Freshmen climbed the stairs for the first time to enter upon that school life they had heard so much about. Were we scared? Just ask us how we liked to go past the upper classmen to the encyclopedia. How like great oaks, which keep the sunshine from the acorn, were the Seniors to us. We finally overcame our scared feeling, for the Seniors let us use the drinking fountain and the hooks without much complaint. Having overcome these difficulties, we organized our class and entered into the school activities with a great deal of pep. Some of our girls joined the Hot Lunch Club, others organized the Ta Ta Pouchon Camp Fire, and quite a few of our members joined the orchestra. We were also interested in athletics although not many took part, we helped support them by paying our dues. In the track we contributed some good material. There were also a good many social events such as Freshman Reception and Girls’ Gym Party. Our first class event was a marshmallow roast, where the boys received their initiation. We also had some other parties, the most notable being the sleig’h-ride party and St. Patrick or Leap Year Party which was held at the school. Our last event of the year was a picnic at Wolf Lake. Our next year, v.e were nearly as strong in number as when Freshmen. There were thirty members We now took it upon ourselves to give the Freshmen the same treatment as we had received the year before. But this soon wore off for we became too much involved in the mysteries of Geometry and the Wars of Caesar to bother with such insignificant things. We in- dulged in the usual round of parties. Our class also showed their true spirit and cooperation by raising more money in the Armenian fund than any other class. When the orchestra was reorganized ten of our members joined and we boasted of members on basketball, baseball and track teams. This year, v e gained possession of the cup in the track meet with Ravenna and Hudsonville, for first time after seeing Ravenna run off with it the year be- fore. Cur class picnic was-held at Wolf Lake, as usual. We were forty-three strong at the beginning of our Junior year after be- ing reenforced by members from Aller.dale, Nunica. and elsewhere. We were now upper classmen with only one more step up the ladder to that highly honora-ble place occupied by Seniors. What a joyous year we spent, for along with our studies there was much time for pleasure. As usual we had our annual Freshman Reception and v.e journeyed to the homes of Richard Conrad and Walter Omlor for social times. Then the Junior and Sophomore girls gave a Gym Party and how queer the girls appeared in their funny Page Twenty-two jrtfp||fgf|§ j-jgfh costumes. A Junior Social was held for the purpose of raising money to give the Seniors a banquet. Athletics, as in both years before, were enjoyed by some of our classmates. We again won the cup in the track meet. As in previous years cur class picnic v. as held at Wolf Lake.. Our Senior year, to which we looked forward with so much pleasure, has come, but we find not so much happiness in being Seniors, for we know that our days at C’ville are nearly over. The Freshman Reception was the first event of the school year and what a sight the great number of Freshmen made rolling peanuts across the floor. Our first and only class party of the year was a barn party at Balcom’s. Other pleasures of the year were the singing in the morning and the pleasure of remaining after school for one hour if or.ce we whispered. Our Annual Staff was chosen and much hard work and time has been spent in making this annual a success. Something new “A Spring Party” was started by Mr. Rens. What fun we had there! Never before did we realize that we had among us such notable whistlers. Athletics as usual were enjoyed. Basketball is over and baseball and track practice have begun. This year’s track meet with Ravenna decides whether we keep the cup or not. Are we? We sure are if possible for this will be the last thing that the class of twenty-three can do for the honor of the school Our school days are swiftly drawing to a close and the last things v e will enjoy as a class will be our class play, commencement and picnic. But whatever the future holds for us, if all the dreamed of joys are ours, and no dark clouds settle upon us, the new life we shall begin can never equal in enjoyment, the happy days we have spent in C’ville High. ESTHER STREETER, ’23. Page Twenty-three Class ill E THE Class of 1923, cf Coopersville High School, of the city of Cccpersville, in the state of Michigan, being cf sound mind and memory and realizing that the end of our High School career is drawing near, do, therefore make, ordain, declare and publish this to be our last Will and Testament. The vast estate which we, through the aid of the Fates have laboriously or otherwise amassed together, we now lovingly bequeath as follows:— First, we order and direct that our executor hereinafter named, pay all our just debts and graduation expenses as soon after commencement as con- veniently may be. Second, after the payment of such graduation expenses and debts, we give, devise and bequeath to the Juniors our seats in the assembly room, to have and to hold for one year, on condition that they keep them free from all litter such as love letters, comic post cards, dime novels, etc. We bestow upcn the Sophomores the use of the stairways, provided they do not wear them out running up and down them in school hours. We give and bequeath to the Freshmen the use of a limited number of hooks in the hall. They must be there at 8:30 every morning to claim them. If they are not, same hooks are to go to the Juniors. To our beloved Faculty, we assign our famous examination papers, the like of which has never been seen before, nor is it likely that they will be seen again. We give and bequeath to Marvin Bulthuis the friendship of the class, es- pecially of one. Wc also give him the front seat now occupied by Marion. May it hold pleasant memories. Being charitably inclined we make the following personal bequests of which the benefactors have no further need:— I, Eva Rankans bequeath to Adeline Dyke my ability to talk. It is my last wish that the future faculty have clemency on her behalf. I, Flossie Nibbelink bestow upcn Elga Laubengayer my patented giggle and the right to be noisy once in a while. I, Walter Omlor leave my foolish laugh and childish ways to anyone who will take them. We, Bertha Esther, Beatrice Bolhuis and Jennie Westrate give and be- queath to Myrtle Winr.ey and Haro’d Porter the remains of our tablets and Page Twenty-four stationery, also our ink ami pen points, if they are not married at the time of our graduation; if they are married, the aforenamed articles shall become the property of whomsoever can lay hands on them. I, Josephine Weaver, leave my many unheard of virtues to June Thomp- son. I, Frances Rankans, bequeath my talent (i. e. painting?) to Mildred Lawton. I, Forrest Laug, bequeath several unused marriage licenses to John Ilinken in hopes that they will be of some use to John. We, Mildred Gordon and Howard Rankins, leave our ability to throw gel- atine to whomsoever is willing to clean it off the walls and ceiling as we did. I, Nicholas Nanninga bequeath my graceful movements to Henry Cook. May Henry become a great dancer. I, Kenneth Mr.ebius, gladly give my habit of blushing to the Freshmen girls We believe it will help to abate the increased demand for rouge. I, Abe Ginsburg bequeath my curly hair to Gerald Laug. May it grow thick and fuzzy. I, Frank Young, leave my “Gift of Gab” to the Hi-Y boys. They need a great deal of it but we are certain that there will be enough to go around. I, William Ter Avest, do hereby bequeath my love affairs to John John- son. This does not include the girl but we understand John has one of his own. I, Nacmi Busman, bequeath my loving disposition to Harriet Lubben. I, Wes’ey Sv anscn bequeath my assortment of bow ties and one box of bleaching ointment to Myron Wallace. I Jewel Lieffers bequeath my enormous vocabulary to the Faculty, ex- cepting Mr Ccon as he does net need it. I. Mildred Russell bequeath my Chemistry textbook and laboratory man- ual to next year’s Chemistry Class. May these help them more than they d'd me. I, Marie Reed bequeath my worried lcok to Orin Parish. May it secure him as good a graft as it did for me in history and civics class. I, Esther Streeter, leave my primness to Gayle Grieve. I, Dorothy Lake, bequeath my dramatic ability to Jean Scott. I, Ethel Gclden, leave my bangs to Mary Maycroft, hoping they will en- hance her beauty as they have mine. Page Twenty-five We, Edna Balcom and Lucile Walcott bequeath the two waste baskets now in the Assembly Room to Ruth Nixon and Alta Sevrey. These may be used as receptacles for the notes which they receive from male frier.es, provided they do not fill them any more than v. e have done during the year. I, Kenneth Flagel bequeath my obedient and submissive pompadour which was willed to me by Curtis Taylor, to any person who thinks he can have better luck with it than I have had. I, Beulah Forbes bequeath my stately walk to Mildred Omlor. I, He’en Hubbell, bequeath my agreeable nature and love for study to Stewart Russell. May it do him some good. We, Norris Ferguson ar.d Leslie Spencer bequeath all our personal prop- erty and we speak for the class in leaving all their lost propei’ty (including notebooks ar.d the theme paper used on the History themes to which Mr. Rens clings so fondly) to any person who has the nerve to ask for them. Fresh- men excluded as the Freshmen this year have too much nerve, as any Senior can testify. Lastly we make, constitute and appoint Mr. Coon to be the Executor of this, our last Will and Testament, hereby revoking all former wills by us made. In witness whereof, we have hereto subscribed our name and affixed our seal, the twenty-second day of April, in the year of our Lord One Thousand Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-three. CLASS OF 1923.

The four years ahead looked to us then like a great undertaking and a never end- ing task. If only we could leap over the next two years and find ourselves, in some mysterious way, dignified Seniors the task would seem less discouraging. New in our Junior year we are beginning to realize that the coveted dig- nity cf the Seniors is not so desirable after all, and that our days in High School are few. But since we must endure the fortunes of Sophomores and Juniors we must be tortured with the fumes of chemistry, haunted by the ghosts of Shakespeare, Milton and Burns; and having safely plowed through the tedious conquests of Caesar and the mysteries of his warfare, we have ventured to learn “parlez-vcus frar.cais?” While these with a more practical turn of mind have pledged all their leisure hours to Miss Shellenbarger and the typewriters. We are proud of cur class not only as students but also as athletes. We have representatives on the first teams of both boys and girls and in the Inter-Class Tcurr.airxr.t the Juniors won from the Seniors. In our turn we have been earning the wherewithal to feast the Seniors at the annual Junior and Senior Banquet And now it will not be long before we take the place cf those same Seniors whom we envied as Freshmen, but we feel that we have earned that distinction.

What a wonderful name! It reveals to us, boys and girls, that although we have a few more years in which to c’imb, we are succeeding step by step. In another way, it is a dally routine of our various studies, all of which have their favorite names; Caesar, gone but not forgotten, never-ending Bookkeeping; always to do English; the rough and rugged road which leads to Geometry and History which to us is “Misery.” Nevertheless, aside from all this every day work, we believe in having a gocd time and enjoying our Sophomore year as much as possible. The loyalty of the Sophomore class to dear old C. H. S. was shown in the basketball season. We all believe in not only mental development but physical also, and so our boys displayed their ability to fight at the inter- class meet. After defeating the Freshmen, they played the Juniors, (win- ners of the upper classmen), gainii g the championship of the entire school. There will, most likely, be rivalry between these champions through life. After graduating, they will probably be the star players of the world! We’ve had our usual round of parties and good times, and scon, very soon, we’ll be Juniors. Hurrah! R. V.

Rens Page Forty-five boys’ basketball Basketball this year, clue to lack of experienced material, was slightly inferior to that of last year The season was started with only one veteran and the outlook was anything but promising, but through hard work on the part of the team and coach, a fast team was developed which, in the later games of the season, made a very good showing. Lubbcn, our right forward, the smallest man on the team, had never played basketball before but developed into one of the fastest men on the floor. Due to this, his lack of size went unnoticed. “Lubby” made only 16 points during the season but to offset this, not enough can be said of his excellent floor work. “Lubby” could always be depended on to get the ball away from his opponent. “Boots” Bulthuis, left forward, earned the title cf being cne of the scrap- piest players on the team, time after time worming his way out of a jam under the basket to score field goals. In the Muskegon Heights game “Boots” played a game long to be remembered. We shall always remember him for his clean fighting qualities and quick shooting by which he made 60 points for his team. Laug, our center, whom the Grand Haven paper rated as the best center in Class C basketball, will be remembered by every one as one of the best ever turned out of Coopersville High School. A wonderful shot, an excellent floor man, and a year's experience as a guard and forward made him a fin- ished player. In all he scored 150 points during the season. Not enough praise can be given this worthy for his “playing the game.” “Bill” Ter Avest, left guard, was always dependable and a tower of strength on defense. Time and again “Bill” broke up our opponent’s of- fense by his quick thinking and fast handling of the ball. Bill knew' how to use his weight and seldom did any man get by him for a free shot at the basket. He never starred or played by “streaks,” but was always fast, steady, and greatly feared by our opponents. “Wise” Porter, our captain, played a good game at right guard. Porter is a “Frosh” but kept the team working hard on the floor, always showing the zip and dash necessary to keep his team mates keyed up to the proper pitch. Porter showed great flashes of speed during the season, and although a guard, scored 14 points. “Grandad” Ferguson and “Hank” Cook, our Subs, played in only a few games but showed their loyalty to the school by being present at every prac- tice and on all the trips, never once remonstrating because of not playing. They have the qualities of real men. Rens, our coach, was always whole heartedly with the team. He did his utmost for the team and greatly regrets that he could not do more. Rens, Page Forty-seven just before the opening: of a same, would come out on the floor and caution the team to play a clean game, no matter what the opposing: team might do. F. L , ’23. Basketball for next year looks better than it did this year. Three men who have played together will form a nucleus about which the coach can build, with new material. We look forward to a fast, scrappy team. J. J. RENS, Coach. SCHEDULE Played at— C. H.

In the two games with Grandville, which were the only games played, our boys showed that they possessed the fight necessary for a successful team. The first game was played in Coopersville and was a battle worth wit- nessing, Coopersville finally winning in the twelfth inning by the score of 13 to 12. In this game, Maebius, our pitcher, overworked and strained his arm. As a result of this we were unable to use him in the second game. We were ahead up to the fifth inning, when by means of a batting rally, they obtained a lead which we were unable to overcome. The score was 13 to 11. Baseball in the spring should be successful. With prospects for a good pitching staff and good men to fill in the other positions, we should have a gqod team. J. J. R. and F. C. L. Tennis Tennis, another good game, which has just been in our school for a couple of years, is expected to be played quite a bit this spring. Tennis is a sport, whicH develops every muscle of the body. We have a good clay court and several good tennis players in prospect. In order to create more interest in this game competition will probably be started between classes and individ- uals. F. L., ’23. Page Fifty Page Fifty-one Qirls' basketball The basketball season of 1922-23, although it was not such a great suc- cess as that of the preceding year, certainly it was not a failure for the girls’ basketball team. They won eight of the thirteen games played, Lowell be- ing the only team to win from them twice. Mildred Russell, captain of the team, by her splendid co-operation with the coach and players did much toward the team’s success. She played running center and forward, playing a fast, aggressive game. Esther Streeter, playing at right forward, counted up an enormous score during the year by her fine floor work and accurate shooting. Mildred Gordon played a splendid game at forward, always playing the game clean and putting all she had in it. Esther Jenkins played regularly at jumping center, altho’ this is her first year of basketball. Much depended upon her splendid ability to jump. She will be a valuable asset to next year’s team. Josephine Weaver, playing her first year of basketball, developed into a good guard. She was. fast on the floor and showed a fine fighting spirit. Marion Lawton, playing at guard, was fast, consistent and very accurate in her passing. Gayle Grieve, playing both guard and forward, was cool, steady and re- liable. She has one more year at Coopersville. Dorothy Busman played at running center. 'She helped the team wonder- fully by her splendid team work and ability to handle the ball. She has two more years to play. Mr. Frost, our coach, helped the team much during the year by teaching the players to work together as a unit.

With their guardian Wakmusuda, The Freshmen girls—eleven cf them Formed a camp and made their promise To be true to their Wohelo. Another Camp of Sophcmore sisters, With Owawissa, Iwasaka, Ananidgi and Hohnahwen Too would learn of natures’ secrets, And as they seek for this world’s beauty, Honor be to Lipiwokan; honor be to Witahwentin. Junior and Senior Campfire As we maidens of Wohelo, Joined our hands in happy friendship We have dwelt in peace together Gliding down the stream of time. Striving always to seek beauty, To give service and be happy. With our guide and faithful helper We have won our many battles. Now as Ta-Ta-Pochen leaves us, Our small band is wrought asunder, But they hope that Wa-Ta-Pochee Will endeavor to be cheerful, Aid and help their comrades many On the road of High School life. Ta-Ta-Pochen leaves her message Of good will and cheer to all. And their earnest tho’t and plea is That the fire of Wa-Ta-Pochee May sh:ne forth with added brightness ’Till their golden sun is sinking. May the spirit of Camp Fire linger In the hearts of willing maidens. M. L. Page Fifty-six Page Fifty-seven Scouting We as a tro o think it proper that something should be in the Annual to represent us. We are not officially connected with the school but practically all our members attend the Coopersville Schools. The school management has granted us many favors and we have tried to do something in return. This year completes our third as an organization and during the three years the largest part of the troop leadership has come from the 1923 Senior C ass. Besides we have a patrol leader in the Freshmen Class and an as- sistant scoutmaster who graduated a a member of the Class of ’22. During the first of the school year, our old Scoutmaster, Mr. Dahlberg, acted in his former position As Mr. Dahlberg planned to stay only a short time it was necessary to find someone to take his place. Soon after Mr. Dahlberg left a new troop committee was formed with the aid of the Grand Rapids Scout Executive, Mr. Walker. The men residents of the town and nearby country persuaded Earl Parish to be our Scoutmaster. He has conducted the work successfully and is still on the job. The grand climax of a year’s work in scouting is a summer camp. In the past two. years our camp has been at Wolf Lake, near Muskegon, the first year a week, last year ten days. A cut of a picture of last summer’s camp, taken by Harold Porter may be seen on this page. For this summer we are planning a camp on Lake Michigan. The Officers of the Troop are:— Scoutniaster....................... Earl Parish Assistant Scoutmaster.............Frank Young Assistant Scoutmaster.............Grant Treloar Senior Patrol Leader..............Walter Omlor Patrol Leaders....Harold Porter, Richard Conrad William Jer.Avest, and Forrest Laug F.

This year the Club can feel proud of havii g a membership of twenty-four which is the largest it has had since it has been organized. Besides the regular routine cf cocking, serving and washing dishes, we also have social meetings, at which we all have enjoyable times. A half credit is given to each of the Hot Lunch members, who do the re- quired amount of work. As Hot Lunch members we feel grateful to Miss Reynolds and Miss Taylor who assist us not only in ordering but also by the suggestion “The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.” So by learning to cook the girls do not think their work has been in vain.

M. C. A. and is affiliated with other Hi-Y Clubs in Michigan a. (1 throughout the nation. The purpose of the Hi-Y is to develop the boy so that he will be a positive factor for good in the community in which he lives. We try to attain this objective through the four-fold program—intel- lectual, physical, devotional and service. We were represented by two delegates at the State Conference in Bat- tle Creek. The report brought back showed the magnitude and importance of the organization. Every county in the State was well represented at this conference. The Hi-Y has a membership of twelve. We feel that Mr. Coon has the interest of the organization at heart and feel sure that there will be a strong club next year.

R.—“Why I heard daddy say they smelt it.” B. N.—“Do you know Orin Parish?” N. N.—“I ought to, he sleeps next to me in Chemistry Class.” She sat upon a policeman’s knee, To stop it I’d not stir, For it was very plain to me He was a-resting her. “That was mighty nice of you to give your seat to that woman, hanging on to a strap in the car the other day,” said Lubben to Bill. “Yes,” answered Bill, “ever since childhood I have always had a very high respect for a woman w’ith a strap in her hand.” Page Seventy-two E.

P.—“That old car of Conrad’s was always breaking down before he could even leave the city limits behind.” F. Y.—“Well, what did he do?” H. P—“Advertised it for sale, giving as a reason, that the owner would like to get out of town.” Evolution of a Senior As a Freshman—“I don’t understand the question?” As a Sophomore—“I don’t understand?” As a Junior—“What?” As a Senior—“Huh?” The sweetest words we love to hear Are when Jewel says, “Oh! Dear!” Senior—“Did you ever take chloroform?” Fresh—“No!” Who teaches it?” Forrest Laug (Picking up a hair brush instead of a mirror and gazing intently into the bristles)—“By gum, old boy, you need a shave ” A woodpecker lit on a freshman’s head, And settled down to drill; He worked away for half a day, And finally broke his bill.

Bill's Tioubles There was a RUSSELL among the leaves. There appeared an elderly man who said, “I ci nnct a LAUG jcu to waste your GOLDEN moments on that YOUNG ESTHER STREETER. You must di.-SPENCER at once. LIEFFERS here immediately.” W’ith a heavy heart Bill left. He must WALCOTT all the way to GINSBURG. His pal would not stay at FORBES’ alone breause they were CONRADS The pal was GORDON FLAGEL. They approached the bank of a creek. “By Gum, that was a RANK AN fall you took! ’ “Well it feels like a LAKE.” “Help me get out.” They decided to take a short cut through TER AVEST’S wheat field. The EASTERLY wind felt chilly. “How many more of those RANKIN tumbles are you go- ing to take?” “No telling, there are so many HUBBELS.” Now that they reached the road, they must part. As he was going to LAWTON Gordon went on his way. Then there came along SWANSON, who said “Say little fellow, can you tell me where we can get something to eat?” They came to OMLOR’S Inn. In one corner of the Inn there was somebody trying to play a saxophone with one REED missing. Bill ate his supper and found that he must stay with an old WEAVER. As they sat around the fire, the old.man told of what his son BALCOM did among the BUSMAN of Africa and how he had to BOLTHU1S door every night. Bill had to sleep in a WESTRATE bedroom. In the morning when he awoke he heard a MAEBIUS singing outside. He dressed and started on. Then he wondered what in the world had happened. A NANNINCA gcat had eaten the coat nearly off of him. Then a fellow seeing him helped him out and told him he would send FERGUSON’S son with him. Bill finally got horre and there his old pal NIBBELINK met him ar.d got him a job. Page Seventy-five O. W. P., ’24. High SchD Oh, the pictures of the Seniors! Some are funny; some are fair; Some are teeming with much flattery; Some are sadly wanting there. Some are, oh! just too darling! Some are far too sweet for words; Some are simply adorable, Some are classified as ‘birds.” Some of them are very good looking; Some say their pictures make ’em sick; Some have so many poses; Some say it’s hard to take a pick. So we leave the weary Seniors, With their pictures and their fears; Knowing history will repeat itself In all the coming years.
