THE CREST Ig C 4 Senior Class Prophecy .Z One day as I walked thru a haunted wood, I was met by a wizard and told to be good. He presented me with a crystal glass Which told all the fates of the senior class. As I gaze in the depths of this great lass 'ar Sf J I see Paul Stearns eloping with Mar, I see Bill Reid as a football star Wearing not 77 but a big green R , I behold Glea Martin a teller of fate, Who determines love as well as hate. Paul Conway, I see, by the government sought For prize or imprisonment I know naught. And Ronald Rhodes, the man of the hour, Has left V. Geis on an extensive tour. We have won the Olymphic, the mile dash, For Roy Frus his opponents did physically smash. Anderson and Dutton a firm quite re- nowned Have made an instrument perfect in sound. The vision comes slow but now a light How Red Gentry for president launches the fight, And Ora Van Hesswerk, a sailor bold, Does successfully reign in cabin and hold. Now Pauline and Ralph the country do roam, For as players, they make hotels their home. Frederick Herrman a race track king All that he wins to his Signa does bring. I see Elmer Homan unsurpassed in fame, In the book of law he's written his name. But Ah! great joy for one Ruth Snyder, For along came John and sat down be- side her. And Lucile Heflen is milking a cow On a farm owned by Leslie fwell paid for by nowj. A friendly portrayal is made by Joe Swett Who fishes all day with his radio net. Velma Case in College is leading the yells, And 'er voice reverberates in all the wells, And lo! Marie Landers the follies has joined, But none of her profits has she coined. Jean Stickles now uses his face, To advertise massages, he's quite an ace. I behold Sir Kater, a pleasure indeed, As an electrotherapentist, he's never in need. But hard-hearted -Anna to the city has ridden To be a great nurse and do what she's bidden. Garrel Cox on the cabinet to Washington goes, What the President doesn't he readily knows. But the vision has stopped and I turn the Sphere To behold John Healy who's running' a pier, To which comes Margaret bringing his coat, And transporting his meals in her motor boat. Maurice Kenworthy stands so high in his rank, He's president of a National Bank. Miss Peggy Lewis is counting the money, Her position at present looks quite sunny. A gloomy portrayal is shown for Miss Choate In the Phi Betta Kappas she's riding the goat. Bessie and Anna in the Country do reign, Telling their pupils of Belgium and Spain. Holmes at Nargansett fishes all day, So very few fish are left in the bay. F. Bodeln his accomplice does haul in the sax s, And carries the fish to the hatch-way in pails. An osteopath is our friend Jack Beeler, And his patients say he's a very good feeler. William A. Landers in a light-house does reign, Where 'he raises bright lights instead of cam. Nell Griswold alone to Guiana has gone, To sit on a porch and gaze at the lawn. An ambitious girl is our friend Grace White Who works all day and sleeps all night. A good house-wife is Katherine Sisk, With whom Harold White has taken the risk. But the poor glass globe from its pictures has tired, The prophetic portrayal has verily mired, But now it starts and begins to show, How Harold Strey to Australia did go, Where there he perfected a machine iall- ed Spoco , Which acts like a mule but looks like a cow. Charles Scurr and Bob Plowman the gos- pel are preaching, I THE CREST I Their ideals and standards the heathens are reaching. Prudent Miss Jessie and her friend Letha Lacy Will publish a drama known as Casey . For the north-west pole Prof Gerdes is hunting, 'Gainst cold he's protected with black and blue bunting. Lloyd Hammers his guide takes care of his dogs, And he trots on ahead to examine the fogs. Rex Harmon, Floyd Brown, and Johnnie Gray, An excursion by airship are spending the day. Bob Swanson with Susie is playing a flute, And all of his tones are as clear as a lute. A thoughtful man is Ralph Edaburn Ytfho, by careful experiment, perfected a churn. Hilding Olson for Scandanavia is starting, And from all his friends he is now de- parting. Carl Young, a contractor, is building a house In which he says there will enter no mouse. Sully Crane is studying in ten different nations In order to widen his congratulations. Harvey Harne for Sahara is pulling his Stakes, While there to explore the numerous lakes. Leonard Brotherton with a circus goes, Where between the acts he puts on showsg The king of this circus is Wallie Shinn Who works in side shows both fat and thin. While Roy and Ray are American twins, Bill Barber the wild man goes thru his whims. Thelma and Mildred perform on the ropes While Ina and Dorothy are living in hopes. This circus is roaming the country thru- out While nfanager Thompson tells the route. Howard, a carpenter, pounds all day, While Harold, his assistant, saws away. A wonderful author is Gertrude Britten, We like what she says but adore what she's written. I behold Verne Goldner in his daring feat Via balloon to Saturn is quite a treat. Miss Catherine Brady to Poland has gone, Where like Diana she hunts the fawng Do has gone with her to bring back the catch To transport it home and close the latch. Willie Stephens, the guide, reloads the gun, When not star-gazing he examines the sun. But the actions of Maxine are enough to perplex, So concerning her future this glass has no text. But the globe is exhausted from overuse, In portraying this class now running loose. While another phase of prophetic fame, Shows Coral Cummings retiring in Spain Yet it shows quite faint, how Demarious Smeltzer, And K. Utter invented a new Bromo Seltzer. While Marjorie and Milley in a Ford Sedan Are using an air stove and flexible pang While camping in Mexico with limited pack They decide to stay with Elizabeth Black Who is keeping an inn for travelers like that, But kicks them out when their rolls get flat. A wonderful girl is Miss Mable Goddard, 'Cause a gallant young life she obedient- ly follored. Now the globe is lightened with a new light, As Paul and Lavena are ushered in sightg And 'twixt them a quarrel is never known, For when one approaches they quickly atone. Ona G. in a settlement with Virla Reeves, Is employed all fall in raking leaves. Palm Rath is a teacher in Creston Schools, And John Clark, the janitor, picks up the tools. A bad misfortune has befell Edna Herbelg She broke one of her legs in jumping a hurdle. Mary Huss and Helen Harvey have united their forces, In a new restaurant of thirty-two courses. Light stays but an instant to reveal the fate, How Welma E. Johnson now works for the state. She strives unrelenting to enforce the rules, And she's appreciated highly by all the schools. And now the globe gleams as it reaches the last Of this wise and unconouerable Senior class. A poet or journalist, is the fate of Joe, For he is the author of this, you know. J. A. B. A X3 NXSK5 I THE cREs'r sc LAURA MAYES-Normal.

CREST-I Junior Class Prophecy .0 After ten years of teaching, my family decided I needed a much earned va- cation, and insisted on me taking a trip around the world. One of the spots they especially wished me to visit was the Thousand Isles, and expressed a desire that I stay a year at each of them. So I decided I had better take a chance of a life time and make my journey. I had lived in Philadelphia for a number of years and was glad to shake its Quakerish dust from my new pumps, so I left for New York, where I intended to complete my wardrobe. I landed there at 2:10 and went to my hotel to rest until dinner time. While glancing over the New York Sun , a familiar name caught my eye. I started- could it be possible? Yes, there was no mistake, there in inch letters in glaring black type, UPASSING SHOW Ol 1941. Mary Crane Starring in 'WHERE IS MY WAN- DERING BOY TONIGHT' . My heart stood still, my eyes wandering around the room fell on the telephone. After many unsuccessful attempts, I finally located her. I made an appointment with her for ten o'clock the next morning. VVe would go shopping together. The next day I hurried to our prearranged meeting place but Mary was late. After awhile, a neighboring clock struck eleven and I started to retrace my steps. Suddenly I heard a grating of wheels and a smashing of glass. A shrill cry and a familiar voice upraised in anger. I turned to see Mary alight from a taxi that had collided with a passing truck. She was dressed in the latest fashion. After a bit I started away, but Mary insisted I must see Wilma. Wilma, who? I asked. Wilma Knellerl' she replied, HThat is her taxi. That long nosed boob from the sticks hit us tmaybe you remember him, Robert Harrisj. Lets make our way thither . Then I turned. Standing there in the street was Wilma with her arms on her khaki clad hips, her jaw protruding. She was telling Robert her true opinion of his clumsiness. I will spare you that, you'd not believe it anyway, and then Wilma swung around sinartlyg straightening her cap and stray locks. She greeted me with the old time smile and friendly grip of the hand. After a few remarks, Mary and I took our leave and strolled up the avenue when Mary exclaimed, Oh, sayl Do you know what Jo Shepperd is doing? Of course I did not and I felt something astound- ing was coming. She is dancing in the biggest cabaret in New York and brings down one hundred berries a night. Laverna Wallace and Mildred Allen are running a delicatessen shop in Greenland. And Thressa Sanders runs a telephone exchange in Siberia, a real Bolshevik too. Did you hear about Leonard McDowell. He is an ar- chitect and Leon married a Widow Smith, I believe. They've gone to Alaska on their honeymoon. By this time we were strolling down Fifth Avenue. We saw two women coming toward us, dressed in the latest fashion of trouser dresses and henna red hair. As they passed us we were too astounded to speak. Elizabeth Burns and Edith Quackenbush, Fifth Avenue Vamps. Can you beat that? Mary cried, and straight- way fainted. I got her safely home and when she came to she said she had forgotten to tell me about a dinner party that I was invited to. Where'? I asked, for who in New York knew me? VVith Miss Willa Johnston, the greatest Ziegfield Folly Girl. She replied. QQQ 'F I T H E c R E s T I FFFWFTH-F At that party I met quite a few old friends. Iver Hansen, who runs the big- gest clothing store in New York, Eddie Peak, who is a coach in Central High School, New York City, and Mary Evelyn Baumgardner who is teaching the children in a Mission in the slums of New York. The next day I sailed for Cuba and upon arrival I received a cable from New York. Maxine Kilgore Hotel De Blank Havana, Cuba Look up Charles Embree Ranch Frog Legs Mary I didn't know what to do but decided to investigate. After two days of search- ing I found what I sought in a rural directory. Charles Embree, Frog Villa, occupa- tion, manufacturing frogs, exporting legs, No. 598362144 Thunderf' I called him up and asked him how he was getting along in this popular occupation, and he said, Finances aren't so good as prohibition has taken all the hops out of the frog legs. But he added, Did you know Leonard Carlson and Louise Repplinger and Clyde Townsend are working for me out here? They are all fine After an extended conversation we stopped. My next port was Cape Town, South Africa. After a thirty day travel into the jungle, and having camped for the night we heard the Zula Zula of the can- nibal and rushed to see what was the matter fafter we had seen to it that we were all heavily armedj. Peeping through the bushes we found in a clearing that the cannibals had four people tied to posts ready to burn them. We rushed up and when the men in our party had killed the cannibals, we turned our attention to the ones tied to the posts. Who could they be? Well, would you believe it? Constance Myers, Dean Hood, Mary Gentry and Rex McGuigan. We brought them into safety, and after a little persuasion they decided to accompany me on the rest of my trip. On our way to Algiers they told me of many of the old class mates. They said Bill Finefield was a yell leader in a Chinese College and Donald Lichty was water boy for the team at the same place. They also asked me if I knew that Earnest Neville was still in Creston running a butcher shop on Adams street, and that Andrew Harsh had taken his father's place in the bank. We finally arrived at Algiers to find that we had just missed Dorothy Riley who was there to buy jewelry, from those savages, for the Riley Jewelry Shoppe in Creston. After traveling through Spain and Portugal and Southern France we came to Paris. When we had spent several days there we decided to go to a theatre to see a famous dancer. As the curtains parted I thought the slender dancer looked familiar, and after straining my eyes a while I decided it was-Oh, it couldn't be- Virginia Snoderly. She was wonderful and I found her orchestra accompanists were made up of Thomas Hawkins, directory Philip Hipes, saxophone, Francis Dwyer, pianist: and many other strange people. At the close of the performance we went back of the stage and Francis told us that Helen McCue was taking a rest cure in Spain, having broken down from overwork. When we left Paris we went through Monte Carlo where we found Bernice Wilson, the wife of a millionaire, and leading her old man a merry chase. In Turkey we found Minnie Schultz and Jessie Martin running a day nursery, and heard that Harry Dawson and Wayne Lamb were running a dancing school in China.' They were fast making a name for themselves. C. I I THE CREST I From China we went to Los Angeles, and one night at a theat1'e we were thrilled by the impassioned playing oi' Juanita Persels, as Billy Burke's late under- study. From there we went to San Diego where we found Justin Goodlaxon and Ray- mond Madden carrying on a campaign against the selling of gum to minors. Then down to Arizona and Pheonix where we found a circus wintering, and as we had nothing' to do, one afternoon we went to see the trainers of this ci1'cus. Lo and behold! the manager was David Cross, who was very strict with his performers and would not let us see any of them, but he showed us a list of his perfo1'mers and among' them, these we knew: Stella Bishop, Fat Lady, fcan you imagine it?J Iva Bowers, Wild Lady. Mildred Delaney, Ma1'g'aret Fuller, Margaret Boortz, Bareback Riders. Donald Osmond, Lion Tamer. Fred Boden, Water Carrier. Lula May Cobb, Snake Charmer. Ralph Graham, Clown. Hopkins Sherwood, Ticket Seller. Mary Hayner, Fortune Teller. From there we went to Mexico only to find Hayes Lucas teaching agriculture to the Mexicans, and Forrest Brown teaching them Manual training'. How funny it seemed to see those Qwhom we had called country boysj doing such a magnificent work. Burton Hollister had introduced a moving' picture show called the Idle Hour Theatre with the camera man, Dale Hamilton, right on the Mexican border. We came through Utah and found Laura Mayes as principal of a girls board- ing' school in Salt Lake City, and Dorothy Giffey was the head ofthe musical depart- ment. They say that the musicians that she trains are wonde1'ful. Would you believe it? We found Glen and Clyde Keefe running a Garage on the desert near Salt Lake City, Where they struck oil and have made themselves rich, and their stenogiraphers are Lillie Welcher and Maxine Wareham, who are drawing' fifty dollars a week income. On our visit to Salt Air our eyes fell on this sign: MCGUFFIN gl KRISINGER Dealers in Bathing' Suits Q Caps, Fancy or Plain And right next to them was a 1'oom, where we hea1'd later, that Lucille Wurster, Verne Riggs and Helen Drollinger took care of children, while their mothers and fathers enjoyed the Sailt Air. In walking down the beach We met M. C. Boys selling popcorn and candy la sort of a peddler I supposej. Can you imagine our surprise? On our way back to Philadelphia from Salt Lake City we stopped in Creston, the dear old town. John McDonough is Mayor there now. Dorothy Harris is an artist of great renown who has her summer home there. My it was hot while we were there, and several times we went in to the Boyce and Wiley Candy Shoppe for a cool drink, or some ice cream. We found in the di- rectory, t'Mr. and Mrs. Keith Hamilton, 1111111 VV. Redwood. VVho could the Mrs. Hamilton be? One day we visited the g'ood old C. H. S. to find Edward Chance teaching Manual Training, Ruby Rodecker, French, and Louise Hogan, Principal. It seems such a short time ago that we went there. The rest of the class are happily married and making' their homes in Creston or round abouts, except Mildred Dean and I1'ene Cornelison, who live as old maids with a cat, teapot, and parrot. From here I took an airoplane home and who do you think was my pilot? Myron Recknor, the Editor of the 1926 Annual. F?

Debate Club Under the supervision of Mr. Fry, a debate club was organized in Creston High School at the beginning of the school term. It is thought that a Debating Class will be had next year, and a period will be set aside for debating along with other subjects carried. The following Debate Club officers were elected: Miss Lavena Baker, Pres., Lucile Heflen, Vice Pres. and Thomas Hawkins, Sec'y-Treas. The National question for debate was: Resolved that the U. S. Government should own and operate the coal mines of the United States. The ones chosen from this club to represent the school were: Thomas Hawkins, Lavena Baker and Paul Huntington, who upheld the affirmative side of the question and were coached by Miss Alta Bell. They first met and defeated the Public Speaking Class composed of: Iver Hansen, Maxine Kilgore and Wm. Finefield. This preliminary contest was judged by Creston residents. Villisca, in a very honorable way, accepted defeat at their hands. But finally, the Creston debaters met their Waterloo at Corning, by a superior team, which had had a couple of years of experience. .Z Junior Class Play Callie Cflgariu agrlpiulu CAST David MacKenzie, a law student .

This year the Mixed Glee Club has been very pro,Q'ressive. They appeared in public, presenting' the operetta El Bandidov, which was very well given. The Mixed Glee Club has been enlarged the second semester and plans to have two rehearsals every week. Vile feel that this will be a good plan.

The Club was enlurg'ecl at the beginning of the second semester and some of the girls in the club were promoted to the Mixed Glee Club.

The orchestra, this year, deserves very much credit for the splendid work it has done. All of the members take a grreat interest and we feel that Creston High School has an orchestra of which they can be proud. The orchestra played in public several times last year and met with success. This year it has played in public several times also and has met with even greater success. The orchestra is much larger this year and is progressing: rapidly under the leadership of Mr. Fiddick.

Great inter- est in it has been shown so far and we hope that a greater interest will be shown next year. Its motto is Success Through Service. The regular business meetings are held every two weeks in the assembly and the dues are fifteen C155 cents each semester. The following people were elected for the rest of this school year: President Mary Huss Vice-President Phyllis Cole Secretary . Minnie Schultz Treasurer Helen Harvey At each meeting a program is given with a different committee in charge each time. A play Trailer of Errors will be given at the next meeting. A District Typewriting and Shorthand Contest will be held here April 24, 1926, and this club will undertake the responsibility of paying the entrants' fees. A candy sale was held March lil, the night of the Junior Class Play and the money from this, coupled with that of the sale of the Peppy Press will go for that purpose. At the first meeting of this club March 2, 1926, it was decided to publish a high school paper and the name selected was Peppy Press. Members of the staff chosen for the remainder of the school year were: Editor-in-chief . , , ., Earla Oshel Associate Editor ., Howard Alloway Business Manager . .. Harvey Harne Reporters chosen for the Peppy Press were: Demarious Smeltzer, Josephine Sheppard, Kathryn Tisue, Wilma Vetterick, Margaret Boortz, Thomas Hawkins, Edward Peak, Edward Finefield, Joe Baldwin. The Peppy Press consists of eight pagesg front page, name of paper, cartoon or poem, second, important events of C. H. S.: third, editorials feach week an edi- torial is submitted by a teacherlg fourth, Senior, Junior, and Normal Trainingg fifth, Sophomore, Freshman, Faculty and Music: sixth, Alumni and Girls Athleticsg Seventh, Boys Athleticsg Eighth, Quibbles fjokesj. The Peppy Press is mimeographed on Thursday of each week, and 325 copies are printed at that time. On Friday at 4:00 o'clock the papers are sold at 3c each. The printing of a high school paper has been quite a large undertaking by the Commercial students, but has proved to be very successful. It is hoped that each year a bigger and better paper can be published. The Commercial students hope that there will be a printing press in the new high school.

GIRLS ATllLl5TIC'S Girls athletics are becoming very popular in C. H. S. for there is a larger line of athletics that the girls can take part in. A baseball team is being organized and has proved a great success. Tennis proved quite successful last year with Creston carrying off the singles championship and this year will probably be better, for a hard, steady practice is held every night after school. BOYS ATHLETICS Athletics for boys have increased steadily for a number of years till now they are on an equal with any school in this part of the state, and far ahead of many of the other min- or or smaller schools.

SUIIIIOMORH NIGWS The Sophomore class is a class that will be looked upon in the future years to come, as one with lots of pep and influence. They have good A students, good athletes, fun-makers, and are a good class all round. FRESHMAN NEWS This was our first year in lligh School, but we all have been good Freshmen. We are aware that we have been called green , but every- one in school was a Freshman once once and now our time is over. MUSIC NICVVS In this column are recorded all musical events of the High School, and outside events which are of in- terest to students.

Losing four men off the first team somewhat put a damper on the outlook for this season, but it soon began to brighten as the first few weeks of practice rolled by. The team had what we term a successful season, winning: five, tieing two, anal losing two, a record of which we are not ashamed. We lose a great many of the regulars this year but we hope to fill their places with promising' material and reserves. Something' new was introduced this year by Elmo B. Roper. The most valu- able player trophy, won not only by playing! ability but by training! and confidence one inspires in the team. William Landers, All-Southwestern Center, was named the most valuable man. We are sure he deserved the honor that was bestowed upon him.

Ab. was handicapped part of the sea- son by injuries, but he showed he was a football player many a time. Ab. will be a great captain next year. MANSEL HOLMES, Captain. Captain Holmes was one of the out- standing men in the line. He was a sure tackler, and always opened a hole for the backs. He made a great captain as well as player. v I THE CREST lie+,r.Tie4'fi' gi HAROLD L. SCOTT, Coach. Scotty returned this year to give Creston another winning grid mach- ine. Through his efforts, Creston won five, tied two, and lost two, which we feel satisfied is a good season. We hope that Scotty will be back with us again next year. ROBERT LAUGHRIDGE, Asst. Coach. Bob was Scotty's assistant this year, having charge of the line most of the time. He showed them a lot of stuff. He also assisted Scotty in basketball, by showing the begin- ners how to play. RAY WEIDMAN, Asst. Coach. Ray was the trainer for the football team as he was in basketball. He will be the track coach this spring and should produce a track squad of which Creston may be proud. This is his first year with Creston, but he has won the hearty approval of everyone. WILLIAM LANDERS fBillJ Bill was the lightest man on the line but this did not stop him from being the flashiest center in Southwest Iowa. He was a good passer and hard tackler when playing out of the line. . 56-1 53- L3 'V' i' Q .r We ee ll THE CREST l ,-j5fif CARL YOUNG fSwedeJ Swede was the best defensive player on the squad and his interference work was beyond reproach. He was always dependable for a necessary gain. LEONARD BROTHERTON Brotherton was a new man on the team. He was comparatively small for a tackle but this did not stop him from smearing many plays that came his way. CHARLES SCURR qchqcky ' Chuck played a nice game at guard. He was always in the thick of the play and never lost his pep. He was especially good at coming out of the line for interference. GARRELL COX Coxy was one of the heaviest men on the team but his weight did not slow him up in his end runs and cut- backs. Jug did most of the punting this season. ,uri . rf, Q:- 'E ii ra' 'if , -Q, , ix' i if ,. s 5 M . 3-Y .14 ,u wi ,lt -'Q .

He was a good interference man and consistent ground gainer. He will be with the squad next fall. WILLIAM REID iBillj Bill was the triple threat man of the team. His passing won many games for usg he was also one of the best open field runners of the squad. JOHN GRAY John never said very much but sav- ed his energy for football use. He was constantly bursting through the line and stopping the play before it started. He also blocked many punts. MAURICE KENWORTHY fKenJ Ken was a hard tackler and went down well on punts. He was a great receiver of passes as well as being the longest passer on the squad. 'g gil THE CREST I BURTON HOLLISTER QBurtD Burt did not play much the first of the year but he was a regular the last three games. He developed into a clever open field runner. He will surely be valuable next fall. ROY FRUS fCoachJ Roy was a most dependable player staying with the squad four years. He was jack-of-all-trades playing the line and also the back field. His presence on the squad will be missed next year. ORVAL DELANEY Delaney was a valuable reserve line- man being able to play either guard or tackle in a creditable manner. He has two years experience and should be a big factor in next year's team. LEON McDowell QMac'J Mac was one of the fastest men on the squad. This helped him in go- ing down on punts. He was a good tackler and blocker and always turn- ed the play in. l 1 1 I l I THE CREST E .

SENIOR CHAMPS As formerly the interclass basketball tournament was held at the start of the season. The seniors won the tournament by ax small inargin. They defeated the Sophomores the first night, and the Juniors won from the Freshmen. The second night the Seniors won from the Juniors after 21 hard battle, marred by many personal fouls, and incidentally the champion- ship. The Sophomores beat out the Freshmen for third place honors. THE CREST 1 STANDING-Coach B. J. Fry, Bradley, Gray, Strey, Herrman, Conway.

Plenty of material reported for the vacancies made by ,Graduation and other causes. Creston lost one game and won five, giving them a very successful year. Quite a number of the players are back again in school, giving us the hope of another fine team.

Track is a very young sport in Creston High School and has not developed the interest of the athlete as have the other older sports. Track is increasing very fast in both interest and good track men. Creston's new cinder track will add to the speed of the future runners. Creston had a very successful year, having great competition in all of its meets. She placed fourth in her home Blue Grass Meet. She took third at the Orient Relays, and placed fifth in the Four Hundred and Forty Yard Relay held at the Drake Meet. I THE CREST I Girls Athletics l'llYSIt'AL EDUCATION Physical Education, a subject required by the state, is under the direction of Miss Ruth Ilorner. The two periods each week, which are compulsory tor this subject are spent in taking exercises, playing games, hiking, and learning: folk dances. It is probable that a- nother lllay Fete will be presented. get TENNIS Last tall 56 girls reported out for tennis, and much enthusiasm was shown toward this sport. The first tennis tournament in the his- tory of F. H. S. was held here last fall. The only entrants were: Corning, Osceola, and Crestong although the coach, Miss Ruth Horner, had sent out invitations for thirty-five towns to enter. Janet Huhn, senior, Won the loving cup, given to the winner of the singles, and Osceola received a cup for Winning in the doubles.
