H. S. During our first year Vera Dowker carried off literary honors, and Marian McConnell represented us on the Maroon and White, so that we felt we were doing some good for Danville High, even though we did look “green.” Our second year saw us organized, with Hazlett Hahne as president, and Mrs. Meeks as class adviser. We seemed to be ascending the ladder of fame, for we were not only represented in the annual County Meet, but in the State Meet at Charleston. We did not allow our social duties to drag, however, but were entertained at a number of parties by some of our members. Nineteen Thirteen did sound unlucky, but as a class we prospered, and left superstition far in the rear. We had a capable leader. Mack Taylor, and an excellent adviser, Mrs. Meeks, to steer the way for us. Besides our enjoyable social gatherings, we took part in such a varied program as, music, debating, oratory, declamation, athletics and dramatics. In fact our star players in “Twelfth Night” were of the Class of 1914. As our Senior year rolled around, all of us busied ourselves in preparation for the final lap-“graduation. ” Yet we did not set aside our loyalty to old Danville High, or our dignity as Seniors. On the contrary, we furnished the leaders for the majority of activities. We are again glad to note that places in the State and County Meets were taken by our classmates. We should also note the changes made by our class. We decided to be original, and ordered our class rings to correspond with our pins. There has also been a social change, for, in place of the two receptions formally given by the Junior and Senior classes, respectively, the a fairs were united into one grand banquet at the Plaza Hotel an April 24th. We know we shall be missed at D. H. S. just as much as we shall miss our school days, but it is our unavoidable duty to move on and give the others a chance to show what they can do. V. K.

Lillian Sandberg, a devoted and deserving student, who had been perfect in attendance during her entire course and had received no semester grade below ninety, was chosen for this honor, receiving a gold ring properly inscribed, and a summer term at the Eastern Illinois Normal at Charleston. Clears litetto? In my new direct’ry of the United States, I took special pains to look up all my class mates; That’s the work of our office, to keep up the books, To record all the happ’nings and pleasant outlooks. At the National head of onr land is Don Blair ; He used to be slow, but he fin’lly got there. Mr. Blair’s secretary is Jessie Chitwood ; She may get his job; she would if she could. Nina Burgette is rich in late years, so they say, On the board of trade, dealing in wheat, corn and hay. Madeline Berhalter, “Science Shark,” met with strange fate, Teaching Physics and Latin in some far eastern state. Ernest Coberly, there are many of his kind— Wears a sign on his back, “Won’t you please help the blind ?” Nancy Cessna, altho’ she’s an old maid as yet, Has a friend in this class who still hopes her to get. Edith Fleming, I find, the heart breaker of yore, Is still charming hearts—of the snakes by the score. In our Miss Gladys Bennett we see the climax, She now keeps a home for lost dogs and stray cats. Dean Huber, as tall as he used to be neat, Advertises the “Luna” on Vermilion Street. Bill Funk’s in the East, as he’s diving for pearls, Having spent all his money in flow’rs for the girls. ’Nora Musson’s well known at her home now in Paris ; She fashions the styles for the fair of the fairest. Bernice Strebel, the model, advertises these styles In all demonstrations, receives many smiles. ' Minnie Rouse runs a bake shop on Commercial Street, While her husband props back and rests his tired feet. Edgar Roos is writing a book now-a-days, Entitled, “My Knowledge, My Words, and My Ways.” I knew Alice Massing liked horses, I vow, But I didn’t think she’s be a horse-trader now. Ogarita Rumbaugh is down South picking rice. While her beloved husband sits ’round throwing dice. Alice Hickman still walks and gets results, sure, But she now has a patent for “The New Sore Feet Cure.” Marian McConnel, Court Judge, will be boss all her life, For the motto she has is, “I’ll be no man’s wife.” 40 0[H][in[M][E]®[L][E][Y]n[Il[9][Il[4] Aldyth Andrews is our ambassador in Spain, She cares not for service, but great fame t() gain. Is Lela Brown married ? Why sure, and why not ? What girl wouldn’t take the first good chance that she got ? Dot Haworth is keeping an old fashioned Inn ; -Get a move dn you, Gordon, and a fortune you’ll win. The Principal talks on “The Nurse’’ landed two— Mable Ost in Utah ; in New York, Hazel Pugh. Hazel Alkire married a man old and forlorn, She now stands at the mill grinding meal out of corn. Abby Braucher, one sweet little girl of t)ur band, Helps her husband herd cattle in the wild, western land. Paul Cottingham’s dead—to the world —I mean, He is boss of the monks down in St. Augustine. Ruth French has a heart, and its in the right place— Runs a home for the old, no matter what race. To hear Camille Kieran would sure be a treat; She sings at the Olympic, ’way out on Main Street. Philip Krauel, we see, has a light on his cap As he comes from the mines with his face and hands black. Esther Davis married a man she’d never seen, Through an ad in Lou Schemel’s “Lovers’ Magazine.’’ Jeanette Dennis trims hats in New York, and I heard She’s returned from New Zealand with a new kind of bird. Sam Codings is inspector; he sure is some man — Between Westville and Grape Creek inspects garbage cans. Eunice Berry is chief of police, and she’s dry; Blind Pigs ? Well, no, she’d oust them or die. In the paper I saw, “Hair Dressing, To-day-French Knots, latest styles, by Miss Ada Callais. ” Marie Craig just returned from a trip ’cross the sea, Where she starred in the play, “That Bachelor and Me.’’ Wait a minute and watch Miss eryl Love’s high career, As she sails in her biplane to France once a year. Doris Swaim has left Danville, but with a good reason, In New York society she’s the belle of the season. Ray Kieran’s an artist far off in Paree; He has taken a wife, her name’s Spicer, Marie ; She’s happy and bright as the sun, so they say, While watching her husband paint faces all day. 41 manniiijaEdEnmciima For what we know not, but Cloyd George has gone West; We have our “idees,” to teach dancing, I guess. Lola Marvell is hailed, “Boldest woman yet known.” She’s discovered new land in the Antarctic Zone. Hazel Madden to working with heart, soul and mind, She still leads her party with her little dry sign. Frank Purnell’s in the mountains away from all strife, Says he’s looking for fountains to give him young life. Jessie Lynn is still moving quite lively, you know. She’s a bare-back rider in the big Ringling show. Marj’ry Rouse teaches music to classes of boys, Has a date ev’ry ev’ning and picks her own choice. Connel English, I’ll tell, if you think it is fair, Is down south in Nashville selling dyes for the hair. Vera Dowker will land in the Congress, I fear, For she’s running as Socialist now, so I hear. Esther Cooper could rule the nation like a man. Woman suffrage is due to her works in Japan. Kline Gray has surprised us, most wondrously too, Keeps a rhinoceros and some toads for his zoo. The “Minister” of our group is—Gillison—James ; Yes, he preaches when not playing cards and such games. Lola Jones is the wife of that “Minister Man,” She helps him gently, with her untiring hand. John Neal, is walking the streets all day long, “Grinding shears, grinding shears,” is his one lonesome song. The milk maid of our class is Miss Sara Moore ; Who’d have thought that she’d ever bring milk to the door? Carl Schermayer is traveling this world o’er and o’er, For that girl whom he wed had a million or more. Ruth Krumreig, I fear, will never survive, She was injured last May, doing the “high dive.” Mack Taylor, that boy, we knew he’d be great. At the White House selling gum and peanuts, of late. Midge Funk, the late heiress, is in Washington, too, “Some attraction” she says, and I fear it’s too true. Yes, we thought Lucille Current would prosper some way, She is now selling fruit on the streets every day. Nellie Makemson’s ideal of marriage was grand, But now she’s the wife of an ord’nary man. Herbert Wolters now travels as salesman, I see, Chief agent for soft drinks, colored water and tea. I’m sure all these would have been proud, had they seen This future before them in nineteen-fourteen. If any of you wish to know more in detail, Just call me up; ask for Mrs. Bud Weiser Ale. 42 E.C. mfHi[Einw [ p[ mnrTif9iB[4i SHEntMlEEBljBntllCEES JJiuttnr Class ©fftrrrs President______________ ___ Vice President_____________ Secretary-Treasurer________ Historian__________________ Chairman Social Committee .

Somebody else must have got lost and wandered around in the halls hunting for his class. We say. someone must have done all this, but he never handed his name to us. A Sophomore is a funny animal. The Freshman says he’s a tyrant; the Junior says he’s a swell head on two legs; the Senior believes he’s a fool, and the Faculty think and don’t say anything. As a fitting celebration at our beginning, we had a regular old time steam roller election. It was all “doped” out and the machinery was well oiled. A few protests were ruled out of order, and when the smoke cleared away, we found the famous “pals,” Billy James and Jane Palmer as running mates. As a president and vice president they are great. With such a start, we realized that we should have a hard time keeping up the reputation of the class, but as Juniors, we elected “Piggy” Goff as president, and Frances Bennett as chief running mate. Renovated politics took out a lot of the old time excitement, but it seemed to be at least equally as satisfactory. Mr. Loring was found to be the choice of the class as adviser to the Ship of State. Our first affair was so original that it took the wind out of all the rest of the class sails, if we do say it ourselves. We proved two things by our famous Junior breakfast; first, that we can get together at five-thirty in the morning on a school day: and second, that we have the biggest eater in High School. Enuf of egotism. We can co-operate too. The Seniors and Juniors got together along in December at the home of Carl Schermayer and did things to a Christmas tree. The hit of the evening was a dainty little present four foot square, which was presented to Mi Bence. Our last crime was also in co-operation with the Seniors. On April 24th, we gathered ’round the round tables at the Plaza and “et” and “et” and “et.” We listened to the story of a goat by Bill Funk, and other selections too humorous to mention. I guess this is about all, but we hate to stop. We’ll continue this next year. 45 Leslie Hahne, Historian. jUfombera of tlir junior Class Vincent Alison Mabel Ruth Anderson Mable I.

This year, however, we started by electing Wilbert Foster as president. As he left school early in the fall, Perry Cooking-ham, our vice president, took charge, and has proved a very capable leader indeed. We enjoyed one very successful party, a Hallow’een affair, at the home of Margaret Jewell. We have also made great records in studies and athletics. With such a successful year behind us, we expect to make our Junior Class the best ever. 49 iiHrmbrrs of tljr opbontorr Close Warren Albert Raymond Anderson Joseph Babcock Beatrice Bannin Florence Birelir.e Blanche Bishop Helen Blair Herman Blankenburg Lavida Brady Grace Brandenberger George Bickwell Alice Brown Mildred Brown Lucille Bullington Charles Bunting Leo Burk Gene Campbell Adeline Cannady Opal Cannon Lucile Carr Minnie Cheatham Robert Chesley Dorothy Church Esther Clapp Mildred Cloyd Josephine Collignon Margaret Conlin Perry Cookingham Palmer Craig Norma Cramer Nell Crawford Madeline Dague Wayne Davis Harry Demoss Theodosia Dwiggins Frances Dye Gladys Dye Lewis Dyer Reynold Ehlers Grace Ellsworth Hobart Evans Kathryn Faith Ruth Flynn Edward Fouteck Robert Garrett Dorothy Gernand Mildred Glindmeier Norma Glindmeier August Grabs Hila Graham Helen Grimes Catherine Hahne Van Harper Martha Harris Helen Hartshorn Ferris Hathaway Zua Hazzard Martha Heidrick Sadie Hemphill Ruth Hendrix Adele Hixon Evelyn Holstine Kendall Hooton George Hughs Ruth Hunsaker Harry Hyatt Epha Jackson Alice Johnson Paul Jones Freda Kagel William Kieran Alberta Knight Julia Knight Mamie Lange Esther Layton Clarence Leverenz Noble Lindelsee Ruth Llewellyn Louis Luke Frances McCord Marian McCray Jane McDowell Ralph McMillan Lester Medaris Marian Morrissey Harriet Murray Lillian Murray Fred Myers Karl Natho Genevieve Nichols Iva Nolan Louis O’Brien Jane Palmer Kenneth Perkins Margaret Piersol Elzenia Pitman Floyd Pogue Lucy Ramsey Elizabeth Rearick Howard Reed Sina Reed Fred Riddell Esther Rideout Margaret Rindt Dewey Runyon Paul Saunders Marie Schaechtel Gustav Schneider Olga Schultz Selma Schultz Verona Schultz Frank Servies Clyde Shepherd Ercel Shields Edna Shouse Dorothy Shutts Lucy Sibrel L.

Floyd Goff Secretary-Treasurer____________ Kenneth Holmes DURING the school year 1913-14, this organization has placed on the field an exceptionally fine foot ball team, an extraordinary basket ball “five,” and a track team. Our membership consists of thirty-six men, including all those who are out for athletics in any way. Under the strong leadership of President Johnson, we have held many business and spirited meetings at which, supervised by Coach Baer or Auditor A. L. Loring, much important business has been transacted. With such good material for athletics, we hope to make the coming seasons our banner ones. We also hope to continue the good work begun the past year, of arousing enthusiasm among the students through the medium of our excellent speakers. 54 ON MONDAY, the second week of September, the call came for foot ball candidates. Matters were very discouraging, as only twenty-five answered the call. Some were veterans, while others were new material. After two weeks of practice, only fifteen men came out regularly for practice. On September 27th, Covington opened the season at our field. We defeated them, as we usually treated them, 44-6. , Our next rivals were Ridgefarm, whom we downed 27-0. The small score being the result of so many ineligibles. The next game with Sidell resulted in another victory. Our next game was with Rossville, where we played for county championship, defeating them 93-0. In our first four games we plainly showed that we had an excellent scoring team, piling up 207 points to our opponents 6. With visions of State Championship again, the team journeyed to Champaign on October 25th. Over confidence and many of our new men not used to playing on a strange field, we lost 17-6, and again suffered defeat at the hands of Tuscola on the following Saturday. On November 8th, we played Moline. The undefeated champions of the north arrived on Friday before the game, fully expecting to snow us under with a big score. Roth teams were fighting at top notch, however, we were defeated 7-0. On November 15th, we met our old time rivals, Urbana, who we defeated in an exciting game, 23-14. The season ended with Crone High of Chicago on our field on Turkey day. Their team was very disappointing, being very weak. They were defeated 74-0. 55 Jfaiot Stall (Tram [T][Hl[E]n®[E]a[g[E][Y]n[I|[9][Il[4] Jfimt iBaU rheiUth 19X3 September 27 D. H. S._........... 44 October 4 I). H. S______________43 “ 11 D. H.

JOHNSON—“Billie” —Great leader: ideal tackier; able to size up opponent’s attack; aggressive; only criticism; works to hard; has thorough knowledge of game: would make end on any H. S. team in country. F. Goff—“Piggy”—Wonderful ability in carrying the ball. Has a peculiar knack of eluding opponent’s tacklers. Greatest ground-gainer on team and most natural foot ball player. Best forward passer in the State, without a doubt. Will no doubt fill the position as captain with credit. C. George—Has reliability, consistency, persistency - three of essential qualities that make a good foot ball player. Tower of strength in the line on defence. Good at carrying ball in tackle around plays. Added many yards to teams total. Left a hard place to fill. S. Olmsted —“Swede”—Has the ideal physique for center. Accurate passer on all formations, so necessary in open game. Defensive playing in backing up line, one feature of games played: a valuable man for another year. P. Hudson—A hard, willing and faithful worker. Made many a tackle in open field on wide end runs, though playing in the line. Will be a good man for next year. J. Babcock—“Joe”—Although playing his first year of foot ball, filled the position of guard with credit. Improved as the season advanced. T. Scoles— “Tony”—Not flashy, but consistent. A good tackier, not afraid to leave his feet. Lacked experience, but absorbed knowledge rapidly. Learned to receive forward passes with skill. R. Mick—“Pat”—Fast; when once loose, hard to catch. Particularly good on wide end runs because of speed. Handicapped for a time by injury but came back strong. J. Whyte—First year, heavy in weight, good in height; developed into line plunger of class. Learned to lead interference and put opponent out of play by leaving feet. This year’s experience has improved his playing. M. Ryan - “Irish’’ —“The fighting Irishman” characterizes this player. Handicapped by not playing regularly, consequently never found himself, but should do great things next year because of experience. A. Glasscock—“Abe”—Would have made a good quarter-back, if he had not been handicapped by playing irregularly. Good dodger; returned punts creditably. H. Gass—“Mose” Alternated at quarter and end. Faithful in practice. Good at receiving forward passes; handicapped by playing out of regular position. W. Funk—“Bill”—All-around utility player of team. Although coached to play in the backfield, filled with credit the position of guard. A player a coach delights in—one willing to put the team’s interests above self-glory. H. Skadden —A splendid guard. Played excellent game while in school. Hard place to fill. P. Cottingham —The most faithful and credit-deserving player of the team. Missed no practice, although not always called upon to play in games. Would that we had more men like him ! Watts and Wolter, who played in the last game both showed promise of good work for next year. R. Trenary -“Bob”-Played half and end with equal ability. Consistently gained ground when called upon. Made up in speed what he lacked in weight. 58 mi5i[E)niMiiEiiDiiLi[EifYinmr9imf4i I 59 [T][H][E]n@lI]®E[l][Y]n[I][9][II[4] Ulpar ra of tlj£ “39” JFoot SSall Carroll Johnson (Capt.)

But instead we held them to one single touch-down, and the wearers of the Maroon and White played the greatest game of the year. The school almost feels as if a victory was won, for we had the score tied, only to lose the ball and the score. In the first quarter, Capt. Johnson won the toss and defended the north goal. The game started with a rush: an old style foot ball was used. Every one saw that the score was going to be close. The first quarter ended at 0 to 0. In the next quarter Moline scored one touch-down on a forward pass and on end run. Score at first half 7 to 0. The third quarter started by Danville receiving the ball, and with determination began a steady march toward Moline’s goal. Here Goff threw a pass to Johnson, who dropped it across the Moline goal line. Moline punted out of danger, and the ball was in Danville’s possession on Moline’s 40 yard line. Score 7-0. . The fourth quarter Danville continued to keep the ball in her opponent’s territory but failed to score. The game ended with the ball in our possession on Moline’s 20 yard line. Mick-Trenary ... L.

We played in the morning while it had been raining all morning. The first quarter started with Danville receiving the ball and making a touchdown in less than three minutes. Again Danville came forth, and Johnson booted a nice field goal. In the second quarter Urbana succeeded in getting a touchdown on a long forward pass. Score at first half, 10-7. Urbana scored early in the third quarter, and looked like certain winners. But in the fourth quarter Danville came back strong on a forward pass to Scoles and a quarter back run by Goff, we annexed seven more scores. Before the game was finished we secured another touchdown, and defeated our old enemies 23-14. Cookingham Hudson..... Oabcock ___ Clmsted____ Sottingham Goerge .... Scoles..... Goff...... Mick.......

Through the efforts of Mr. Loring they were able to put out a successful team, winning half of their games. In 1914, we were not only fortunate in having an exceptionally strong team, but we possessed an excellent coach in Mr. Baer. The season started with Georgetown on our own floor. After defeating them we got the habit of handling all of our opponents the small end of the score. The team lost one game during the season, that to Chrisman; while Georgetown fell victim three times, and Chrisman and LaFayette were defeated once.

They were however, destined to suffer defeat, as had the former teams. The game started with the interest at its highest. They were good at long shots, and began with a rush. At the end of the first half they led the Maroon and White 15-8. In the second half Danville came back strong: they piled up 22 scores to La Fayette’s 10. It was in this half that Johnson and Schermayer played the best defensive game of the year, while Goff and Hahne were not idle in throwing baskets.

In the last four years Danville has had some of the best base ball material ever found in a high school, but it takes more than material to support it. For several years it has been the custom to have class teams, and through the work of these teams we have been able to furnish some good rivalry between the classes. A shield was offered to the champions of last year, and this was captured by the Juniors. This same bunch of Juniors won the school championship when Sophomores, and have a good chance of getting the shield as Seniors. It seems as if the base ball material in the school is tied up in this team. Juniors Seniors ......

The man who can turn out work with poor tools is considered a very good mechanic. So it is in foot ball; a coach who can pick a good team from poor, “green” material is indeed, a very good man at the business. Mr. Baer is a man who thoroughly understands this work, having had seven years’experience in this line of athletics. He seemed to enjoy coming down to the park and watching the team practice. From the very start his good talks to the fellow's always wrere encouraging. He w'ould not allow any rough or profane language used upon the field. His motto was, “Keep your mouth shut, and showr by outward appearances that you are a foot ball player. ’ ’ This was something new to our men, for in the past our coaches themselves would swear and get “up in the air” if signal practice was not up to standard. Another good example he set: not allowing any one player to “rag chew” at another of his team mates. His, the coach’s words were, “You have a quarter and a captain to run yo,ur team, so keep your mouth shut. If you think you are not getting a square deal come and tell me.” Our school has not supported Mr. Baer as it should have done. He came to our city expecting to see great school spirit. What did he find ? Ask yourselves. If the student body could have seen and heard him talk to the team before the Moline game, they would have understood w'hat a team meant to the coach. With a broken voice and tears in his eyes, he said, “Now, fellows, I have done all I can for you, and ‘for George sake’ go in and fight till the last. Don’t go into the game half-hearted. Show' to yourselves and to me that you are a bunch of foot ball men. If you lose, lose fighting, and old I). H. S. will still be proud of her team.” The people who attended the game seen what this speech meant. Every man fought till the last, although Moline won. Not only in foot ball, but basket ball and base ball, Mr. Baer gave his valuable assistance. Our basketball team deserves great credit for its good work under his valuable coaching. In base ball he comes to our class games and sees that all work is carried on in a manly and upright way. Next year we must show our appreciation. We must turn out a large foot ball squad, from which he will be able to pick a championship team. 71 [T][H][I]n®[E]®[g[E][Y]niTl[9][I][4] Club of 51. St. •§ . (Officers President..............

The purpose of the Club is to bring together in a mutually helpful way, those who have a liking for any science subject, especially in its practical side, and to train its members in the powers of observation, reasoning and independent thinking. We hope to stimulate and arouse interest in the study of science among the pupils of the school, and improve the conditions of life around us by an application of scientific truths.

O. Rorem THE Athadarian Literary Society was organized October 3d, 1913. by the joining of the membership of the Athenaeum and Adarian Literary Societies. The officers have been those which the Athenaeums and Adarians had elected the previous spring. The work of this Society is to develop the dramatic and musical interests of Danville High School, to make its members at ease on a platform, and most of all to interpret into real ideas the words of the printed page. This has been shown by various assemblies and private programs, such as “Barbara.” by J. K. Jerome; “Author Programs,” in which all selections are taken from an author’s writing; and “Quotations” every one giving some quotation from a poem or book. Greater than all these is the Athadarian play (if the Wranglers, who are its members as well, will let us so call it), “A Mid-Summer Night’s Dream,” which was one of the best plays ever staged by any high school. It showed none of the “amateurishness” of beginners, a result due to the skillful training all had had under the requirements of the organization. The school is beginning to take an interest in the work, for now we have over a hundred on our roll, which still keeps growing. The Society is one in which the students may well invest their capital —their natural abilities. 74 Dj? fDrummrr’a ICurlui Caitijh ONE warm, drowsy afternoon in July, a lonely, disgusted young drummer strolled listlessly down the main street of a sleepy little village, wondering how on earth his firm expected him to sell anything in that forsaken spot. Forsaken it seemed indeed, for not a soul had he seen since his arrival there at eight o’clock that morning, except the station agent and the inn-keeper. The latter had told him that most of the male population had departed for Shelby Station to attend a political rally and would not be home until the next day, and that their respective wives, daughters, sisters, aunts, mothers, and sweethearts, were holding an allday meeting of the Ladies’ Aid Society at the one church in the village. Even his prospective customer had closed his store and departed with the rest of the patriots. “A gay life here, I must say,” he growled, peering dolefully into the little window of the store that he had been sent to enrich ; “not a solitary thing to do, to go to, or to speak to, and not even anything that looks like an ice-cream soda. There’s a fat chance of selling anything here, and I must turn in that order. If there was a train out of here before morning, you bet I’d board it so fast that these sleepv-eyed, long-whiskered sons of Rip Van Winkle would never recover from the shock of witnessing such rapid motion. Ye gods and little fishes, what’s a fellow agoin’ to do? ” After giving vent to his feelings by a violent kick at the door of the shop, he thrust his hands deep into his trousers’ pockets and gazed gloomly up the road. He had been standing there for some time, when he noticed a spring wagon drawn by an evil-looking mule and carrying a solitary passenger, a ruddy faced man. emerge from the cross roads. Sudd nly the mule, seemingly imbibing the spirit of the place, stood still in the middle of the road, apparently to enjoy a mid-afternoon nap. Thereupon the man after successive thrusts at the animal’s prominent ribs with a whip, entertained the mule and the unseen listener with an exhortation on the deficiencies of longeared quadrupeds, using such forceful phrases and such unusual combinations of words that the speech on the whole was enough to make any ambitious orator or Speaker of the House retreat in humiliation. “Jiminy!” thought the drummer, ‘‘I wish I had a vocabulary like that fellow’s. I bet I could exhaust it on this town in a very few minutes. Oh hum! I ’spose I might as well walk on down this street and see what there is to see.” He was somewhat surprised upon turning a corner to find a group of rustic fellows sprawling under a tree. He accepted their invitation to join them, but not without some reluctance, for he had read in the magazines 75 [T][H][E]n[M][E][D][L][I][Y]n[Il[9][II[I] and newspapers of the quaint sayings of farmers in the typical country store groups until he was disgusted with anything that savored of rustic gatherings. The farmers soon succeeded in learning the drummer’s name, business, place of residence, and a misused part of his family history ; and he in turn received the information that they “had not felt like attending the rally,” and that the ruddy faced man approaching with his now penitent mule,, was old Si Cotton, who was going to buy our Dan Haeburn’s store. This interested the drummer immensely, for this was the store he had visited in the morning, expecting to sell his goods. Si joined the group, and after a few preliminaries told of his adventures in the big city of Danville, which he had visited a short time before. “Well, sir,” said he, with a sly wink at the salesman, “I met the gol-durndest fellow up there I ever saw. He owns considerable property, but by Heck, he don’t seem to care no more for it than a straw. Why, we wuz a settin' side by each one day when one of his large buildings ketched afire. He sat there all the time it wuz a burnin’ and never batted an eye. Why, bless ye, he didn’t even call a fire department nur make any effort to rescue his goods. Now what do you think of that?” There was silence for a long while after this strange speech, and then all began to give opinions of the man’s conduct. Several ventured to inquire if the man was not a little “off,” but were answered in the negative. No one had anything to say for several minutes until suddenly, a loud guffaw burst from the funny (?) man of the crowd. “Ho, ho,” he yelled, “you tho’t you wuz a slick one didn’t you, Si? But you can’t fool me, even if the rest of ’em did bite. I ’aint such a durce. You an’ that guy wuz in one o’ them movin’ picter shows awatchin’ a fire, wuz’n’t you ? Ha, ha, what a joke on you. Si. Course he wouldn’t bat an eye just because some building like his was afire in a movin’ pictur. Ha! ha! Si regarded him with mingled pity and contempt. “Oh no, young fellar,” he said, “it wasn’t nothin’ like that. Fact is, that fellar wuz in Danville, and the store wuz in St. Louis-all burned down afore he knowed anything about it.” Something (who can say what?) whispered in the salesman’s ear that he must laugh —he didn’t want to, but the something persisted, until finally he laughed long, loud and alone, for the others, especially Si, were regarding him in open mouthed astonishment. At length Mr. Cotton recovered himself, and with a long stride reached the drummer’s side and extended his hand. “Young man,” he said, “you’re jest the fellar I’m alookin’ fur. Old Pete, thar, just told me who ye’ air and I want you to take an order from me right now, and every month from now on. You’re the first fellar that has laffed at a joke of mine for thirty years and I feel that you deserve a reward. Come an’ git in the wagin. We’ll stop at the church for the old woman and Esther, my dotter, who is just home from school, and then go home to supper. I expect Esther will make some ice cream fur us—she likes to do it. She’s just twenty and quite purty, if I do say it myself. She can en’ertain ye fur she’s up to all the city ways. By Heck, I’m mighty glad that you seem so pleased to go. Well, come on.” “And yet some people don’t believe in luck,” grinned the drummer. Aurelia Starks, ’16. 76 m[HiiEin[MiiEiioiiLirEir� in[tii9irii[4i Intrnnittciit Woniiiui WHERE’D you get that ring, Sis?” demanded Bob suspiciously. “Which ring?” demanded Dorothy sweetly, assuming an innocent expression. “Well, which ring do you suppose ? I don’t mean that one I gave you, nor yet the one Mother gave you.” “H’m! By the process of elimination, I deduce that you do mean this one”—turning a boyish looking silver ring on her finger. “Sherlockess Holmes, without a doubt!” muttered Bob. “This ring belongs to Russell Watson, Mr. Smartness. Remarks are now in order. ” Bob scowled darkly at the teasing look on his sister’s face, and started to leave the room without saying anything: but the impulse to speak was too great, and he turned back with—“Well, if you want to wear that ring when you know what f think of Curly Watson—Oh well, go to it. But I’d think it would bring you bad luck to wear the ring of such a big mutt—be a sort of hoodoo. By Jinks----!” he put his hand quickly over his mouth, and left the room. “Hoodoo nothing,” said Dorothy scornfully. “When Bob doesn’t like a fellow, he thinks everyone should give him the cold shoulder. I think Curly’s all right, and I’ll wear his ring if I want to, in spite of Bob.” With which declaration of independence Dorothy replaced the ring on her finger. “Bob, have you seen my bag?” asked Dorothy frantically pushing books and papers to right and left on the table, in her search. “Many and many a time. It contains one-er-chamois—plus a tube of cold cream—also—” “Oh, shut up! You know well enough what I mean. I’ve looked the house over and can’t find it. You don’t know where it is. do you ?” “Always at your service, ma’am,” said Bob, bowing with a mock, humble air of gallantry as he joined her in the search. The bag, however, failed to appear in spite of his diligence. “Well for Pat’s sake, where are my gloves?” “Seems to me, my fair sister, you’re getting rather careless with your belongings.” “Careless nothing. I’d swear-----” “Don’t do it, oh, I prithee don’t,” Bob remonstrated in a shocked voice. “That I put them right here on the piano,” finished Dorothy, ignoring Bob’s interjection. 79 |t||h||e|| |[m|[e||d||l1Ie||v1I I11 |9|[i l[4l “And yet they have completely disappeared. A hoodoo, perhaps,” hinted Bob. “You’ve got hoodoo on the brain,” rejoined Dorothy. “What was it last—oh, this ring of Curly’s. What’s the matter? Been reading “Tales of the East?” “Yes, and hypnotism articles, and witch stories, as well. I’m just beginning to get educated.” The following day Dorothy decided not to wear the ring, and then, after that she wore it again. For a couple of days nothing happened, which rather offset her fears, for Dorothy had a vein of superstition in her which was quick to follow suggestions. But on each of the four following days she lost something—her handkerchief, a book, a ribbon, or some other trifle. She began now to regard the ring as the cause for this, and though she laughed at herself for being “such a silly,” she gave the ring back to Russell, at the same time determined that her brother, who was an inveterate tease, should not know of it, or at least at all costs, should not know why she had returned it. On the second day she gave the ring back, she found, on entering her room, all the articles which she had lost lying on the bed gloves, handkerchief, bag, etc., and standing upright in their midst, a large cardboard containing nothing but a huge exclamation point, composed of small question marks. Dorothy’s face turned red as she realized who was the cause of this. “Oh, you darling brother! So that’s what you’ve been up to, is it? And me -what an easy mark for his powers. He must have hated awfully for me to wear that ring, though,” reflectively. “I’ve got to fix it some way or other or he’ll crow over me the rest of his life. Oh, I know. I saw some rings just like this down at Rogerson’s, I’ll get me one to-night, and make him think it belonged to me all the time. That’ll cook his goose when he thinks I’ve just been teasing him, and didn’t have Russell’s ring at all.” 80 miBDMmiqiEimnmrgirmi £lu- 'Haunt fur 0 � oIxi THE echoes of the last stroke of the gigantic clock had .just died away in the upper halls and vacant rooms of the old mansion, leaving every thing in death-like and oppressive silence. The entire household had retired long before and no living thing was known to be awake. Suddenly the midnight stillness was broken by a shrill, startling cry piercing the darkness from the upper halls. The reverberations rang for a moment through the empty rooms, and then all was silent as before. The following morning each member of the family tried to look unconcerned, but it was evident there was something on the mind of each. It might be well to say here that the old house had been built by an old carpenter who had at one time owned quite a fortune, but had suddenly and mysteriously lost it all, and had afterwards lived in a little cottage with his only daughter. The building was at that time occupied by Raymond Villars, a young man deeply interested in scientific research, and his invalid father, besides a few servants, all of whom had been in the employ of this same family for many years. Under these circumstances, both on account of his father’s condition, and for fear of losing some of the servants, Raymond disliked to express his thoughts on the strange occurrence. No one referred to the incident during that day, or the next. It was not until exactly a week later that at precisely the same hour of the night the stillness was again broken by that piercing cry—“O-h-e-e”—followed by silence. Another week passed, and a third time the sleepers were startled from their slumbers by that horrifying wail. Things were getting beyond the limit of human patience, and Raymond decided to investigate and find the cause of the disturbances. Taking as a basis of work the axiom “There is a cause for every effect,” he began a systematic search of all the upper rooms and halls. He was, however, unable to find any means of access to any of them, as the windows were all high from the ground and securely locked to the casements, which were very wide on account of the extremely thick walls Being unable to find a clue, Raymond decided to remain upstairs and, if possible, in the room from which he thought the sounds proceeded, and to which the “ghost” would return on that night if it continued to come regularly. As he had expected, while he sat there staring blankly into the darkness he heard a click near the window. This was followed by a pause, during which he thought that the pounding of his own heart would surely be loud enough to betray his presence Then came that truly awful shriek. There was a flash. The room was filled with light, and Raymond glanced down the long barrel of a huge revolver at—a most beautiful young girl, whose head and shoulders just showed above an opening made by lifting up the broad window sill. As she looked into his eyes her dainty red lips 81 iiiEKgniMitEEEMiBntiitiisa trembled with fear and her large, dark brown eyes appealed to him so deeply that he could not force himself to speak to her in a tone other than in tenderness. When he did ask her what could be the cause of her bothering him that way, she faulteringly answered, “If you’ll let me go to-night, I’ll come back in the morning and tell you.” “You promise?” he asked. “Yes, I will come and tell you everything I can.” “Well, don’t fail.” The next morning the bell rang and the servant ushered the young lady into the library, which served as a laboratory. “Please be seated,” said Raymond, as the servant left the room. “Now possibly you can tell me why you have disturbed me as you have.” “Perhaps this will explain it to you,” she said, handing him a small piece of yellow paper. “Father gave it to me,” she added: “My Darling Alice: Perhaps you can remember a time when circumstances were better with us than they are now. That was when I had more money than I now possess. Then I had a nice little sum of money which I had gained by my honest toil. But I had an enemy who plotted against me so that I had to hide the money, because of some facts which he knew. At that time I was working on the large house on the south side of the Mansfield Road, not far from the ‘Travelers Rest Inn.’ Some where in that house I concealed the money, but in the excitement under which I was laboring, I forgot where. You can only find k by living there and knowing the facts as you do. “But I do remember one peculiarity about the house. The east room upstairs in front has a window in the east side. Directly below this window is a small door leading into a tiny store room, and also into a chute containing a ladder which leads to that room. Your Father.” “And so you thought you could scare me out and then you could move into the house yourself, did you?” “Yes, that is what I thought,” she replied slowly, as she looked longingly out of the window. Raymond, noting the tired droop of the shoulders and the wistful look, asked her if she wished to stroll out into the warm sunshine of the mellow spring day. They walked along the quiet hedge-lined lane and listened to the songs of the birds as they flitted from branch to branch by the roadside. Under the peaceful influence of the day, it seemed to Raymond that the event of the night before was bu a dream; that the girl by his side, instead of the enemy he had supposed her, was a well tried acquaintance. They walked for some distance in silence before Raymond aroused himself from the reverie into which he had fallen. 82 mmmnwiEiiDiiLifgfYinmfgimm “Well, I think we could arrange it so that you come to our house whenever you liked, or if you would rather, you could stay at the Inn and come to our house every day until you find the money,” he suggested. “That would indeed be very kind of you. Mr. ------” “Villars,” he prompted. “Mr. Villars, but wouldn’t it cause you considerable trouble?” she concluded. “No, it would not bother me at all.” A slight flush mounted to her cheeks as she replied that she believed that she would accept his invitation to do as he said, as her own home was many miles distant. After many days of useless searching she became almost disheartened, but fate was not to be so severe with one so tender. The time for spring cleaning had arrived, and Alice was there at the house one day when they were cleaning one of the large rooms. As the Villars family had not lived in the house long and had not considered taking it permanently, there were several large pictures which appeared to be a part of the panels of the walls. When these were removed for cleaning, one was especially difficult to remove, but after much labor it was loosened, and revealed a large opening in the wall. Had not Alice been hunting for the money she would not have considered this as anything worthy of further notice, but under the circumstances she immediately thought that it would have been an ideal place for her father to secrete the money. Accordingly she brought a light and by its means found a bag of money, almost covered with dust of years’ accumulation. She was so over-joyed that she could not wait for Raymond's return, but went to where she knew he had gone, in search of some new material for his work. Raymond knew by the light in her eye, as she came running up to him at his work, that she had found the object of her search. He could hardly refrain from embracing her when she told him the good news in her happy child-like way. But she drew back from him, and said not without a tone of sadness in her voice, “I suspect I must leave you soon as my husband is expecting me home.” E. R. Lynch, ’15. 83 [lltHIlinStlEBllEnEtslIIlS (Hu' (trip to ittammuth £aiu' ON December 26, 1913, we “Hikers”—packs on backs—left Danville for Mammoth Cave, Kentucky. We went by train to Louisville, and from there started our long hike. We walked eighty-five miles in four days, and in the evening of the fourth, we took a route thru the cave, made candy, and watched the old year out. The total of fifteen miles in the caves made our whole walk an even one hundred miles. Fun, jokes, pranks and laughter prevailed from morning till night. We aroused a great deal of curiosity and comment of course, and felt quite insulted if we passed a house where the whole family didn’t come to the door to see us pass. Mr. Smally bore up bravely under his many responsibilities, and seemed to enjoy himself as much as the rest of us. Only 204 more days till next Christmas. A. H. 84 E0®D®[I]®E[I]Snm[9]m0 (Llw fHaroon mtft HTIriti THE STAFF of 1913-14 has on the whole had a very successful year, considering what it had to fight against. Although the paper will have a financial deficit on account of the failure of a prominent business house, and the sudden increase of publication, yet the Staff feels that it has excelled in the quality of the paper, has equalled any that D. H. S. has published, and has served the purpose well for which it was originally intended. Since we have received special comment on our coverings, and the quality of our exchanges and news from other schools, we feel assured that in spite of all difficulties we have reached the goal of high standard. When the paper is sold for much less than its actual cost and figures show us that to print a year’s subscription,selling at fifty cents, costs eighty-eight cents, and only a little over fifty per cent of the students subscribe, it is a difficult proposition to make an undertaking of this kind pay for itself. We of the present StafF wish the Staff of 1914-15 the brightest prospects of a brilliant success, and rest assured that they will carry forth the standard of the Maroon and White to the destiny of highest attainments, crowned with their highest reward.

(Orrh atra DURING the year of 1912-13 and the first part of the following year, there was no real High School Orchestra. But as the High School play began to develop, the teachers found need of one, so thru the efforts of Lilia Payne an orchestra was trained. Their main work was in preparation for “A Mid-Summer Night’s Dream,” for which they gave most excellently the following program, besides the various dances and songs of the play : 1 Prelude—Comic Opera—“The Goddess of Liberty’’__Jos.

S. has ever had. The success was due to the conscientious work of the pupils in the orchestra, backed by the students, who by their enthusiastic response to the numbers given urged the players to do their best.

No more faithfulness has been shown throughout the whole High School than that of the girls attending the weekly practices since January. No more praise is to be attributed to the girls than to their director, Mrs. White. This musical band first exhibited its powers at the “At Home” given January 16th, and next at the “Big Debate,” March 20th. On the day of the contest our girls were on hand, ready to do full justice to “Springtime,” the Semi-Chorus song. However, they did not come out at the top. In footing up the results by grades, Hoopeston and Danville tied. In footing by ranks, the tie was broken, and Hoopeston was given first place and Danville second place. It is often defeat which makes the conquered more determined to w'in the next battle. Let us hope that all the girls will look at it in that light, and will enter upon the next task with a will to win. iftrntbrrs First Sopranos Frances Bennett, Helen Carter, Beulah Faris, Gladys Phillips Second Sopronos Lela Brown, Elsie Massing, Emily Robinson, Rosamond Scroggs First Altos-Bertha Braucher, Nina Burgette, Ada Callais, Bernice Smith Second Altos — Ercel Crawford, Cassie Love, Alice Massing, Fern Spangler 93 [TitaiintMiEEEiiEnmsms] ill.

Davidson Omar Farr 211je Wraiujlrra CUtb ONE of the greatest events in the history of the Wranglers Club occurred at the beginning of this school year, when the society decided to admit girls to membership. The club, and we trust the girls, have greatly profited by this action, for the latter have displayed much energy and enthusiasm in their new field of endeavor. We have done some good work this year in debating and extempore speaking. The members were divided into teams which struggled with each other for supremacy throughout the spring, the winners being entertained in the end by the rest. Aside from our dual debate with La Fayette several assembly programs were given with splendid success. In these Edgar Roos particularly distinguished himself by his extensive vocabulary. In carrying on this work, we are helping to meet one of the needs of the age - how to put thoughts easily into effective expression. In choosing our critic, Mrs. Meeks, we were particularly fortunate, since in her we secured an adviser whose past experience in teaching public speaking and in working with young people fitted her admirably for the position. The officers of the year were as follows: First Semester—President, Kline Gray: Vice President, Harry Skadden; Secretary Treasurer, Ernes,t Coberly; Chairman of Program Committee, James Gillison; Sergeant-at-Arms, Robert Garrett. Mr. Gray had a very prosperous administration, much of the success of the year’s work being due to his efficiency. Second Semester—President, Ralph Rouse; Vice President, Ernest Coberby; Secretary, Lela Brown; Treasurer, Gilbert Codings; Chairman of Program Committee, Kline Gray; Sergeant-at.Arms, James Gillison. The social side of the club has not been neglected. A delightful party was given at the Washington building, last fall, its success being largely due to the efforts of the chairman of the Social Committee, Miss Lela Brown; a banquet was given our opponents from Lafayette, which also proved to be a great success; and our annual picnic this spring bids fair to be of the “bigger than ever’’ variety. Considering the interest that has been displayed and the things we have accomplished, our work has been truly successful, but greater things should be expected next year. We hope that the Wranglers Club will remain one of the brightest gems in the crown of Danville High, and that its work will reflect honor upon its members, and glory upon our school forever. , R. Rouse 99 n It Ur praktitn PUBLIC speaking this year, while there has been nothing spectacular, has been characterized by increased support by the school and general development on all lines. The season was opened with a dual debate with La Fayette, arranged for by Mrs. Meeks. The speakers, Ralph Rouse, Ruth Krumreig, James Gillison, Kline Gray, Ernest Coberly, and Frank Purnell were chosen by competition and, although they were good speakers, they were unsuccessful both at home and abroad. Frank Purnell and Karl Saxon represented us in extempore speaking in the state district. Purnell secured second place, and will go to the state contest. In declamation this year, Marguerite Funk and Ralph Rouse will go to the Eastern Illinois meet, and Mack Taylor to the county. Our representative in oratory, Lucille Current, did not place in the state district contest, but we expect her to be successful in the county contest. According to their custom, the local chapter of the D. A. R. offered a medal for the best essay written in the school on a specified subject. Miss Alice Hickman and Paul Cottingham secured first and second places respectively. Both wrote on the subject “Immigration, its Benefits and its Perils.” E. L.

With Mrs. Meeks as adviser, we meet every other Thursday for informal discussions of all subjects that appeal to the girls, and are rewarded with higher aspirations and new ideas. The annual Christmas tree for poor children, which proved an immense success this year, served as great a pleasure for us girls as for the children to whom it was given. Since the organization of the club in 1902, the girls have exerted a decided influence on the whole high school through developing an increased spirit of kindliness and fellowship. It is the sincere wish of the members of the class of 1914, that the succeeding classes may take up the work where we leave it and make it even more successful than it has been. 102 Girls’ i xhlv (Class ©ffirera President_____ Vice President________________ Treasurer_____________ Secretary________... ........

Claes THE Bible Class was organized in 1910 by Miss Miller and Miss Wolfen-burger, and was taught for three years by Miss MacFarland, who is now taking a course in the Y. W. C. A. Training School in New York. The purpose of the Bible Class is to help us make ourselves normal, well-rounded girls, in that we shall strive to develop the spiritual as well as the mental and physical. We meet every week, and once a month have an open meeting, at which we have an outside speaker. This speech is always followed by a social hour. During the past three years, five girls have been sent to the Y. W. C. A. conference at Geneva. In raising the money for these parties, socials and candy-makings we have lots of fun. Every girl in the high school is eligible to join the Bible Class. 104 wmommEmEimn 105 miraignraig[ iaiEiryinr09llini jfrrt'.lum’u party IF THE WASHINGTON AUDITORIUM could take life and tell of the many festivities held within its walls, it would, no doubt, speak of the “Freshmen Reception,” given Friday evening, September 26, 1913, as the most enjoyable one. A large per cent of the entire High School membership showed surprising interest in making the Freshmen and new' students welcome. After shaking hands with about four hundred, we were seated, the classes being in separate groups. The guests were welcomed by a representative of each of the three upper classes, each of whom gave short speeches. These were followed by Mr. Randle and Mr. Smalley who gave a little good advice along with their welcome. These addresses were enjoyed no more than w'ere the musical selections rendered by one of the Alumni, the Boys’ Quartet, the Girls’ Chorus, and the Orchestra. One feature of the evening, deserving of special mention, was the Daffodil Chorus. To realize that the occasion was a success, in the best sense of the word, you must know that there were refreshments, which consisted of ice cream cones and stick candy. We are sure that, in writing up their history, those in the class of ’17 will mention first the “Freshmen Reception,” and will thank Mrs. Meeks and her committee for it. 106 “At Homp” ASK our Freshmen what especially influenced them to enter High School last February. Among the answers you will be given will be, “ The ‘At Home’ given us January 16, by the Seniors and Sophomores.” Only those who were present can realize the pleasure enjoyed by the students of the A Eighth grades of the city as well as by the hosts. Stationed at the doors of the several recitation rooms were guides who received the guests, as they came in groups of eight or ten, and ushered them in. By these visits of a few minutes each, the students-to-be were able to get a general idea of the regular High School work. As soon as the bell announced the close of the last period, the whole company was seated in the assembly, where an excellent program was heartily enjoyed. This one was ended only to be followed by a better one in the Washington Assembly. After refreshments had been served, a sample of our athletics wa shown in a basket ball game between members of the two entertaining classes. The Sophomores won. No little credit is due Mrs. F. P. Meeks for her wise supervision in making the ‘‘At Home” an event to be remembered. 107 Upper Class SSniupirt LET time have its way, make the best of your opportunities, and you will come out ahead in every case. Our upper class annuals have been climbing the ladder for the past four years, but this last one has reached the top round. The event was in the form of a banquet, given at the Plaza Hotel on the evening of April 24, 1914. At seven thirty, ninety-seven members of the Juniors, Seniors and Faculty took their places in the spacious dining room. Not a word need be spoken as to how the well-planned courses were appreciated, but one fact must be mentioned, and that is, that we were informed along many lines, concerning which we knew positively nothing before, namely: Wilhelm Heinrich Funk is a foreigner: Floyd Goff will make a great orator; Kenneth Holmes is witty: Mr. Randle can talk to such an intelligent body as the D. H. S. student: Edgar Roos can use “big” words; Marguerite Funk has not had much loving in her short career; lastly that our principal has been abroad and was once actually engaged. At a good hour the company arose, sang two rousing cheer songs and vacated the rooms. There is no doubt in the minds of all participants that this affair has established a precedent for the coming classes. If you wish to praise those responsible for carrying out these ideas, laud Miss Bence, Mr. Loring, Senior and Junior class advisers, respectively, and Beryl Love and Beulah Faris, chairmen of Senior and Junior Social committees, respectively. 108 E0[in®[ID[S0[!DEnE®E0 fHtiisiunnu'r Qr ant ACCORDING to their custom, the members of the Athadarian Literary Society and of the Wranglers’ Club held their annual play this year — “Midsummer Night’s Dream,” April 4th, 1914, at the Fischer Theater.

Soldiers of Theseus —Harry Hyatt, Floyd Pogue, Samuel Coilings, James McDonald. The greatest part of the praise belongs, beyond a question to Mr. Rorem, the manager and coach, and to Mrs. Meeks as well, who spent so much of their time and patience in training the cast. Almost every day from February to the date of its production they gave up their time in order to make the play a success. Nor were they the only teachers who have helped us, for there were many others whom we have to thank for their assistance and their part in the training. 110 BainsaD No small amount of credit is due to our High School Orchestra. An orchestra which can take Mid-Summer Night’s Dream music and play it better than many professionals, is unusual. Without them our play could never have been a success. Concerning the actors themselves, general favor seemed to proclaim Bottom and Puck as stars; but Quince and Flute, as Thisbe, follow such close seconds, that any definite assertion as to the star is impossible. The play which the Athenian mechanics gave before the gallant Duke and “fair Hippolyta” on their nuptial day was no doubt the funniest scene in the performance. Bottom with his glittering armor and huge voice, and Thisbe with her true falsetto won more applause and fame than Marlowe and Sothern themselves had they played before the same audience. Though Philostrate declared to his lord, “There is not one word apt, one player fitted,” we decided to change the passage and suit it to our idea according to our play. Thus-every word was apt, every player fitted ; for truly no one could have found better people to portray the characters, or people better fitted for their parts. Little Puck with, his or her (which can we call “it”?) little giggle and merry smiles, was the “darling” of the audience. Puck’s tiny wings seemed ready to help him flit about the stage, and the little horns of mischief, as if they had popped out from the practice of his knavish arts. The King and Queen of the fairies, little and lithe, played important parts, both portraying them in a way which might have made Shakespeare himself proud. The pretty fairies of their band, as well as Titania arrd Oberon, merrily danced their way straight into the hearts of the audience. Indeed we cannot forget the lovers, around whom the plot centers. Each one of them deserve a large amount of credit and praise ; for what is a play without its lovers? And one never had more affectionate devoted couples than our own “ Midsummer Night’s Dream ” production. This year the society had a particular advantage in choosing from the very large number of persons who tried out for each part. The fact that the judges had an opportunity to study the characters and contestants in such a way as to enable them to choose exactly the right person for each role, is, no doubt, one of the reasons for the praise which each player deserves and for the truly all-star cast.

In the raw March days of the early spring' When the summer seems far away. And the days are chill, and the wind is shrill, I’m for basket ball then, I say. But when April’s here and the chill is gone And the baseball days have begun And the hard hit whack, when the ball bounds back From the bat means a score we’ve won. I vow it’s the game that is best to me, And I’ll stick to it straight along; But the first of May, comes the track meet day And I find that again I am wrong. By swimming and tennis I also swear, But I change as I did before For the time most dear is the time that’s here: It’s the present that I adore. Then November comes with its football days And the summer has long been passed, Then the game I’m for is the gridiron war And I know I am right at last. When the burning leaves give the air a tang And the weather is crisp and clear, That’s the time that’s best, for you must have guessed, That the football season is here. The line that is firm then begins to yield While the struggle sways to and fro, And the run that thrills and the play that fills With misgivings the stubborn foe! Though summer holds pleasures, and winter and spring May seem to compare with the rest, My choice is the fall; of the game of them all The battle of football is best. M.

Big “Charley” Hahne, a noble youth. Was pilot of our five, He never stops for hurt or bruise, But “eats them up alive.” And here is “Red” our forward With freckles on his nose.

And yet we have our Oakwood lad Mr. Williams is his name At basket ball he is a shark And here has won his fame.

After having been minted in Washington, I was soon exchanged for a “Bond.” My new owner took me “Holme” in his “Carr.” As we were crossing a “Strawbridge” we met a farmer. My owner stopped on the road and said, “What’s Haworth?” “Eighteen dollars a ton,” the “Swain” replied, “but I doubt if your “Campbells” will be able to “Munch” it. If they do they will surely “ Dye.” “Sincere ” ly I would not advise you to “ Buy ” it. I was next spent in purchasing a “Jewell” from a “Guy” for some one’s lady “Love,” by one who was trying to restore her “Faith” in him. That “Knight” I was taken “Holme” by the jeweler, who found his wife “ Cookingham. ” “I ‘Marvel ’ at your industry,” he said. Later I was gently lifted out of the pocket in which I was ' ‘ Wait ” ing. The next “Day ” I was spent for a soda, and the drinker groaned with “ Payne.” “ No‘Moore ’ of that stuff. It is “ Luke’warm,” he said. Continuing on my journey, I was next spent in buying shot for a “Cannon” to help “Lynch” a “ Rose man ” who persisted in butchering the “English” language. Being up to date, I reformed and was taken to “Church.” After being sat on in the “Pugh ” for a couple of hours, I was deposited in the contribution box. I thought I would “Dye” with so many “Goldbergs” jumping on me. However, I lived through it and was taken to the “ Bishop,” who spent me for cake to make “Livengood.” I was not allowed to remain good very long, as the storekeeper’s daughter paid me to the Physics teacher if he would “Marker” grade up. The Physics teacher purchased ten “Akers” with me, and as my new owner had only a horse and wagon he turned “Carter.” I was carried around for quite a while, until one day the farmer took me into a “Taylor ” and said: “ Sew my pocket up. This coin ‘ Burns ’ a hole in it. ” After giving the farmer much trouble, he said, “ I’ll ‘ Berry ’ this ‘ Grey ’ ‘ Goff ’ ball, by ‘ George.’ ” I was next spent for a missing “Linch ” with which to “ Knecht ” a “ Lamm ” to the opera house. In the opera house I met a great big “Baer” who told me that he had been captured near a “Brickwell ” at Lake Winona by a man who lived in a nearby “ Small ” “Wood.” As I was now somewhat worn and “Whyte” after my travels over “Craigs” and “Hills,” and through “Meyers” and “Dales” I was turned in to the mint again.

Bourne on the wings of that summer breeze came the far off murmur of our girls’ chorus, and life was hollow mockery to poor Edgar Roos.

Dear Miss Libby: I am a girl of seventeen, and am going with a boy who is two years my senior. He holds many high (dices in school. He says that he loves me dear ly. Would you think it too muc h to ask him to prove his love by making all his credits.” A High School Girl. My Dear Girl: “ It is not very advisable for girls to be deeply in love at seventeen, but if you feel he could make a living by his business ability, put your proposition gently to him. If you spring it too suddenly it might break his heart, for he knows that some things are very impossible.” Liza Jane Libby.
