RAVELINGS Helen, Play the best team work that you can this evening, Helen! the Lincoln High has a larger and stronger team than ours andall our work must be put in quickness and team work. Near the end of the last half the score stood 10-10, just two minutes before the game closed. Helen seized the ball, she was standing by the division line, and quick- ly she gaged the distance from the basket with her eye, and prepared to throw the ball. And then she seemed to hear Miss Tunston 'say, Team work Helen, team work. For an instant there was a struggle with- in her-why shouldn't she throw the ball, make the basket and win glory? O-f course there was some danger with such a long shot, but she was confident. And then - for some unknown reason she threw the hall to her colleague and she as quickly put in the basket. Kennington High School had won! And Helen felt as tho her sacrifice of a little personal glory had been worth while when Miss Tunston said, I saw the strug- gle Qyou went thru, Helen, and I appreciate it, dear. And her cup of happiness was brinnning when her college brother wrote back, I'ni proud of you, sis, you're a brick. The cau- dy's on the way and ltll never call you .ny 'kid sister' again. JOSEPHINE MYERS, '19, A mnrthg flllvmhvr Here's to the man who holds the bell, ' While up the stairs we rush pell-mell, Who saves us from a dreadful state, Of being present just too late. So here's to Mike. Heres to the man who sweeps the halls, And chases the cob-webs from the wallsg Who oils the floors, and dusts the seats, But never with the faculty meets. Yes, here's to Mike. Here's to him, the jolly old soui, ' Who never increases the demerit roll, And as the years shall come and go, Our friendship will continue to grow For dear old Mike. A worthy member of our high school and one whom everybody knows, is the faithful man of cares, -Mike. No member of the high school will complete his years work with as much zeal and lidelity as will he. Mike is a shining light to all who enter within the walls of D. H. S. 'When we climb the rugged stairs and are about to fall by the way, his beaming countenance inspires us to put forth our greatest ef- forts. His duty he never shirks, his work is always done. Our high school course would have been incomplete without him. for he encouraged us in our fun, helped us in our trouble and never gave us any heart- crushing demerits for the pranks we play- ed. On leaving our hard-fought battle- ground, we leave a true friend standing hy his post, for whom we trust the under class- men will care as we have tried to do.

RAVELINGS lduninr Gllaaa Biainrg In the evolution of our Junior class we just naturally rolled into High School, and since then have passed through that stage of barharism and savagery which is so manifest in Freshmen classes. From the very first we gave everyone the impression of being all that good Freshmen ought to be. Within a few days we had learned to talk and were sufficiently ac- quainted with ourselves to know our own names. We also distinguished ourselves that year by giving the first class party. One moon-light night in October, we piled on a hay-rack and started on that historic trail that leads to the home of Herman Miller. It is hard to write in so few words the history during our Sophomore year for it was so full of happy incidents. And now, in our Junior days, although we are small in number, we. are the most loyal class in high school. We have stu- dents who deserve more than mere mention These students have done their best, always with the thought not only of gaining person- al strength and honor, but for the honor of their class and school. And, now, we have attained so great eminence that our class may rightly be called the center of school activities. We have entered for everything. Both our boys and girls have upheld our honor in athletics-our number of boys and girls on the first teams are sufficient to prove this. We have been first in oratory and our Junior play, The Man From Home' has by its splendid success, shown our dramatic' ability. Can any of the other classes boast of such excellence? Our aim is high. We are working toward that ideal dream of perfection. We have done our best and although the Junior class in the future may surpass us in some things they never can excel us in Hdelity to old D. H. S. I hr Ehminr lag The Juniors presented their play The Man From Home, Friday, May 1, at the Bosse opera house.
