'L S 1 .5 O E the Senior Class of 1920, have at least made a won- derful attempt to edit this annual successfully. Although this is the first effort of Quch in the history 4 of the school, it is our most sincere desire to meet r- .i approval in the eyes of the public. VV pl c xx is i to extend our kind thanks to the business men who responded so willingly to the call for advertisements, to the faculty -who has helped in variously important ways, to the other classes who have so kindly assisted in different work, and all other persons who have done their bit in some form in publishing this year book. Page Three ' SCARLET Es WHITE A School History INCH my time is limited and records are scarce. this history must indeed be vague. At any rate, I will try u .0 my utmost to portray a few facts. In the year 1882 when Deshler was nothing but swamps and forests, a f 1 5 brick building was being constructed. Everyone thought it wonderful then, but now we would look upon it as very hideous. VVhen it was completed children came from far and near to attend school at this building. After five years this small structure became inadequate for the growing number of attendants, and following many pre- liminaries fwhich are always gone through withQ it was de- cided to build an addition practically as large as the orginal. Then the students had ample room. In the year 1902 the High School room was added to the original building. 4AfIe'l' lllillly yveilrh lllillly' l11'llJl'0VCll1C11tS YYCPC Illilllff US TC' gards interest in school life. The literary societies named Philomathean and Crescent respectively were organized. For some time interesting programs were rendered which the public enjoyed very much. These organizations were later broken up through some misunderstanding. After about a year societies were re-organized, but were called Corinthian and Athenian this time, and they seem to have been more suc- cessful, since they stand yet today. Page Four In the year of 1910, April 29th, this was made a first class high school. This school began to grow in numbers immedi- ately, not only in students but in number of teachers. The class of 1919, containing twenty--six members, was the largest class in the history of the school. For the past ten years some kind of athletics have been engaged in. Although they were not made compulsory the majority of the students joined in zealously and earnestly. Since the directors have always been very efficient, the dif- ferent athletic teams were both directed and chosen intelli- gently. Even though the opposing tealn was unusually strong or the weather was severely cold, our teams always attended the promised game without a murmur. Further in the Alumni Section of this book you will see, dear readers, how our former graduates are spread far and wide along with the wonderful attainmcnts they have made in life. Oftcntimes a high school makes the decision for oneis future position in the various paths of life. At present the sclioolroom has again become inadequate for the number of attendants and the first grade was forced to seek a separate building at which to attend school. lvlost every one. especially those who are in any way connected with thc school. converse 2. great deal concerning the contemplated school building. Had it not been for the war we would have a new building at present. so now since the war is over, we expect to see a perfectly new building arise in the midst before long.

I-1I'E'E The Clss oyage 'I' was the fourth day of September. 19115. a ealm lf: .45 uutumnal day, radiant with the sunshine of hope. Q, cheer and joyous promise, that the good ship lleshler High School stood at anchor at the wharf of a new lgsaz school year. It was the same old ship that had ear- N7 -' ried many passengers to safe harbor in the hand of Great Yvisdom. but this day was a gala day in its history. and many people gazed upon it in wonder as they watched the nineteen beautiful and charming young ladies and twenty bold and dashing young gentlemen, as they happily stepped aboard, for it was rumored that they were about to set sail over new and untried waters in a quest for the Fountain of .Perfect Understanding. As the ship stood at anchor on that eventful morning of September, the passengers began to arrive and. as l was the first to be enrolled upon the list of passengers. to me was en- trusted the important task of writing the log of the voyagef the voyage that. even then, they all realized was to be the most important of their lives. I had hardly finished the task of placing my signature upon the ship's register when a com- panion, Maxine VVitham, joined me. She had sailed with me through the eighth grade cruise among the lslauds of Smaller Learning, and I was glad to learn she was to be with me in this larger voyage. WVe were both congratulating ourselves upon the mutual pleasure of longer companionship together. when we turned to welcome a third comer, who had come to take passage with us. WVe peeped over her shoulder as she wrote her name and were surprised to decipher the lettersvl'-e-r-n hi-e-yee-r-s. Yve had had her with us before. and knew of her many pranks. so while we knew we would not find her overly fond of study. we were sure her jolly nature would brighten for lls many an otherwise gloomy hour. ill a short time we were joined by Virginia Shirey. and soon so many were crowded around us that all the berths were filled and we were assured of a very happy voyage. YVe were naturally very enthusiastic and asked many eager questions of our captain. as to the incidents of our voyage and its probable length. and were assured that if we were perse- vering and diligent in our duties we should easily reach our destination at tlu- end of four years. So it was with very hope- ful hearts and smiling faces that we bade our parents and friends good-bye and waved our handkerchiefs from the deck at those left behind in the Grammar Grades. as we steamed away from the wharf and out of the harbor, actually em- barked for il four year's absenee on our Voyage of High School Life. We were young and socially inclined. so it did not take us long to become acquainted with our fellow-passengers, nor to feel very much at home with our Pilot. the Captain, the Ste-wardess. and even the porter. Our fears of shipwreck were entirely wiped away in the assurance that so able a staff of seamen had lls in their charge. There were naturally a few Casts of seasickness and various ones were tempted to throw up .tlgt-bra. Geometry and other disagreeable dishes and toss some of their best belongings overboard in times of rough sea, but the Stewardess assured them calmly but firmly that they would only have to consume these indigestihlcs over and over Pa Twenty-seven SCARLET Es WHITE until they were perfectly assimilated, and so they bravely managed to hold them down. VVe noticed at the outset of the voyage that the stream upon which we had set sail was comparatively narrow and sheltered but using our field glasses we could see such wide vistas of water ahead that we were led to inquire of the Captain the significance of the situation. He explained to us that the Voyage of High School Life was in reality to be over seas, thougll the four bodies of water were so closely joined together that they seemed but one immense sea. He informed us, further, that we had just entered upon the first and smallest of these, which was called Freshman Sea. The usual intimacy of shipboard soon sprang up between us voyagers and we have been loyal shipmates ever since. Vlle sailed over Freshmen Sea and received checks of identification from the Purser almost before we knew. It would take too long to read the complete log of this eventful voyage. It would be very interesting to tell the many delightful experiences, the many wonderful lessons, the changes in the passenger list at the various ports along the way, the partings from this one, and welcoming of that, with the why and the wherefore of it all, but after all, it has but little significance except to ourselves the few who still remain together to land tonight at Commencement Wharf. VVe must not divulge the secrets of our shipmates. VVe must not forget the loyalty done to our class colors so valiantly flying at the masthead. The best and most vital history of any person or thing is never given of the world. So must it be with the class of 1920! Page Twenty-eight lt has been a most wonderful voyage and we have accumu- lated many souvenirs from every port, striving, however, to guard against the danger of excess baggage, and of taking unto ourselves anything which would not be of service to us on the yet Greater Voyage of Real Life upon which we are this day to embark. We have not faced any gale which we are not able to withstand. WVe have not been wrecked upon the shoals of any threatening task. The tides of our averages have continued to ebb and flow, the waves of mathematical problems have kept upon their ceaseless motion and com- inotiong the billows of examination questions have sometimes tried their worst to overcome usg but none of them has suc- ceeded. Vlle have been able to procure the necessary passport at the entrance of each succeeding sea, and have been able to pay the price in good hard work for every part of the passage. VVe have sympathized with the seasiek passengers that made up the various new classes. Vlle have enjoyed the successful experiences of those who have landed on other shores. Now we look at the larger, more majestic ocean ahead and feel that our experiences has fitted us to withstand every storm, and weather any opposing force with no fear of dis- aster, saying with Byron-W 'tltoll on, thou deep and dark blue ocean roll! Ten thousand fleets sweep over thee in vain! But not in vain the Class of 1920! We will go on writing new logs of greater adventure, and yet more wonderful discovery, for while the Voyage of High School Life is at an end, the Voyage of Real Life is just now and here at its triumphant Commencement!

I was starting toward the station when a voice asked Luggage, lady? Carelessly I handed the boy my suit case and he said The Bunker Inn? After my nod of assent we proceeded on our way. At the Main Street crossing stood a man waving a red flag. I stopped and looked. I knew the : V - man looked familiar. Suddenly it came to me that it was lny old school friend, Clyde Vantlorn. With a glad cry I grasped his hand and excitedly we began talking. He told me that he had a nice home and wife. Upon inquiring I learned that he had married Hester and that they were living over Suber's butcher shop. Promising to call on theln I went on. As I passed a restaurant a slnall child and a big bull dog came out of the door. The child began crying. Come in here, Clara, called a harsh voice from within. The child looked helplessly around and continued its crying. The door opened again and this time Orla Freeman came out. Why. 0rla, I began. In a broken voice he told me he had been ,iilted and that be had married Violet Bergman a few months later. Just then Violet appeared and after many questions we parted. 1 finally reached the Bunker Inn aml looked for the boy ff? Q 4 u it-:tri 9943 his sudd carrying my suit case.

Standing there astonished at en departure 1 did not hear foot steps approaching me. Any- thing for you, lady? and turning I saw Clarice with a mop and bucket in hand. This was another surprise and after greetings Clarice called Troas, who was also working there. It seemed like old times and we talked on until the proprietor came in. Look who's here, lVIr. Hill, and the next instant all four of us were talking and laughing as of yore. After registering, Troas took me to a lovely front l'0I7lll. It was so warm that I was obliged to ring for the hell boy to bring me some ice Page Thirty-two water, I was very much pleased with the quick service of the Bunker Inn. No sooner had I rung the hell than Kenneth entered with a large pitcher. After resting I decided to look up my old friends. I had gotten no further than the Caesar theatre when I espied Thelma Clevenger seated in the ticket booth crocheting. I rushed to her side and asked her how she came to be there. Blushing and with downcast eyes she said that she had finally consented to be Rudolph's wife. She also said she crocheted for Adaline's art store. She called Rudolph and from them I learned also that Helen Freeman and I.uella had a life-long position in the Deshler High School. Leaving them, I crossed the street and entered the Gerdeman under- taking establishment. No sooner had I crossed the threshold than Vir- ginia confronted me and said that Oscar had been called out into the country. She invited me to lunch at Holmes' Cafe. It was then twelve o'clock so we proceeded thither. Florence came tripping in with a big white apron on. It was a happy evening and just as we were leaving we ran into Kathryn, which was another happy meeting. She said she had been married three years and her husband was the engineer on the Findlay branch. VVe talked along the street and the girls told me that Maxine kept a sanitarium at I-Ioytville. I asked them about Helen Smith. Where was she? They sadly told me that she was at the sanitarium sudering from granulated eyelids. They also told me that they had made a wonderful bathing beach out of the reservoir. I was anxious to see it and immediately we directed our steps toward the beach. Arriving there, I percieved Harold VVink standing in the shallow water. His large brawny arms, exposed to the sun and wind, had be- come bronzed. Across his chest the words Life Saver were written in large white letters. VVe talked to him and found out that he had saved lidythe Stewart from the watery depths just the week before. Thelma WVeaver was his wife and they resided happily one block north of the coal chutes. fn- M- VV- ' SCARLET 5 I-IITE Class Obituary HH joys of life are inanyg its privileges great: its pleasures manifold and intenseg yet even throughout all of its happiest hours and most hilarious rejoicing. crimes to the thinking mind. the sad and eertain wail. d,,.,..,x x - Q M' lis, too, shall pass away l Vve eannot eseape from auf. this inevitable fate. no matter how earnestly we may endeavor so to do, for all things human are mortal. Yes. even the Class of 1920 of Deshler High School, is doomed to go the way of all the world, and pass from High Sehool to return no more. ' Yvhen the startling information was eireulated 'round among her friends that poor old 1920 must die. a wave of the most sincere and heart-felt lamentation swept over the entire community. To be sure, it was not altogether unexpeeted. for we have long known that the end must eoine. sooner or later. and that. in view of the complication of disorders from which she had long been suffering, there eould be but little hope entertained of her ultimate reeovery. Still. we did not think that the crisis was near at hand, and we resolutely put from our minds the thought of her final dissolution as often as it eame to ns, and tried not to realize the nearness of the approaehing calamity. As year after year passed by, and the struggling patient. though fighting desperately for life. seemed in her usual health and spirits, the hour of her departure seeming just as far off as ever, we kept thinking hopefully of the future hours yet remaining, refusing to accept the verdiet of the wise doet- ors who deelared that her days were numbered. l.ike all of her predeeessors. she laughed and she played: she sang, and she worked, and she made merryg she shouted her yell with all the gusts and vigor imaginable about the streets of the eity: she studied---when she had to-even being able to set up at night now and then when she wished to and she rejoieed when she escaped the having to. and altogether eondueted her- self after the mainier of organized elasses sinee the very be- ginning of all sehool life. Therefore. when that wise eouneil of doetors that sat in judgment on this lively patient. spread broadcast the direful tidings of the absolute hopelessness of her ease. there was a wide-spread sorrow over all the surf rounding eonnuunity. and a mantle of mourning shrouded the entire eity in its soinbre folds. Vllllis. lhenfthe awful hour we have dreaded for so many weeks---is the end of all. May Zlst has eome.

Draw near. all you who have been friends of this most illustrious of all High Sehool elasses. and listen to her last words: for like all departing spirits she has inueh to say in the last fleeting moments of her lite. Dear l'rineipal: WX-. the elass whieh is about to pass for- ever from the land of living students. thank you with our last breath for all that you have done for every part of us during the year we have been in your eare. Our teaehers have all had their part in instrueting us. but we feel that you have been aetive in eonstrueting us. They have all had their part in instrueting. 'llhey have all had a hand in our education. You have been likewise a vital inspiration. Ythat is there left for I 'age 'l'hii'ty-three SCAIQLET ,a..w'1-IITE, A our breaking hearts to say as we face this last scene of all, but Thank you, and God bless you V' is the hope that you will see that our memory is kept green for a week or two at least of the days that are to come when we have passed forever on. And now to you, dear, faithful teachers who have been our tender, patient nurses for so long, we know that we are in- debted more than we could ever become able to repay, were it granted us to live for ages yet to come. You have taken a per- sonal interest in each of us as individuals, and have done for poor old 1920, as a class, all that was possible to make her career pleasant and profitable, and her last hours easy and painless. You have prescribed for all her disorders the reme- dies you considered most effectual, and have dealt out big doses of both sweet and bitter decoctions for her to swallow, which have done much to preserve her life to the present moment. You hav kept your finger on her pulse through each day of her indisposition, and we feel sure you have had a thor- ough understanding of her condition at each rise and fall of temperature. Now, you can do no more hut bid her a last farewell, as her struggling spirit passes with its weight of gratitude forever out of your lives, and into the larger spheres beyond the veil. Members of the Junior Class, you who so soon will be called upon to till our vacant chairs, we cannot pass entirely from the land of thc living without a word of advice to you ere we part forever. You have watched the career of 1920 with pride and admiration, and, of course, with no little envy. How could it he otherwise? She has done grandly, gloriously! Like St. Paul of old. she has 'ifought a good fight, she has finished her course, she has kept the faithf, See that you, then, who are left to take up the work that she has left behind, profit by her Page Thirty-four example, and go and do likewise! Follow in our perfect footsteps, Juniors, for your hour will surely come to you, even as ours has come to us, and we leave behind such a record for you to follow that we pass cheerfully out of our High School into the Great Beyond, feeling that our brief career as a class has not been in vain, if it helps one band of students to resolve to live to a larger purpose, but with that thought we must die, yet may we live forever in the memories and the purifying in- fluence that we leave behind. Classmates, the last moments of our life as 1920 are fast ebbing awayg our pulse is growing feeble, our breath faltersg and only time and energy for one more word remains. We have studied together, we have hoped and planned together and we have faced the coming of this direful hour hand in hand, feeling proud of the fact that, though we were so young in years, we have yet been able to make of ourselves the most talented, the most accomplished, and altogether the most illus- trious class of students that has ever been fated to pass out into the Great Beyond from this High School. Together, now, we pass out of existence, and the class rooms and play grounds will know us no more forever! It is a sad thought, isn't it, Classmates? But let us face the unknown future as bravely and earnestly as we have faced every painful examination, and every disagreeable mental operation prescribed for us, determined to keep a stiff upper lip to the last, and prove worthy of the colors now strewn so lavishly over our remains. Do not weep, I pray you, friends, for we need all our courage to face the last dreadful moment, as gathered together for the time. we look regretfully over the happy past, and slowly, slowly, slowly watch the lingering moments pass into eternity, and sadly, sadly, sadly whisper our last farewell to one another as 1920 dies.

There were many unfamiliar faces of those coming from the rural districts but we were soon organized into a social band which still remains unbroken. Our number was thirty-three when we began our High School career. Eleven left our class in the Freshinan year, leaving twenty- two to struggle on together. a Our President this year was Virden Colwell and our Secre- tary-Treasurer, Ruth Flowers. YVe were kindly entertained by the Sophoniores on St. Pat- rick's Day in the assembly room of High School. And we also enjoyed very much a masquerade party. Hallowe'en. at the home of Grace Herr. At the close of this year a picnic was held at Buchanan's Grove. Everyone had a wonderful time. Then came a happy vacation for all, for three months. Then we once more attacked our school work with much zest and earnestness. Page Forty Two new members were added to our list from other vicini- tics, which made twenty-four. ln the month of April we entertained the Freshmen, which entertainment we hope they enjoyed. This term Doris Sharp became President and VVelma Shoe- maker, Secretary-Treasurer. Also at the close of this year the Sophomores and Freshmen held a picnic at liucliananis Grove and it was enjoyed by all. During' our vacation we saw each other occasionally and told each other how we were enjoying our vacation. VVhen our Junior year began we did not have even as many as in our Sophomore year, only seventeen returning. Two new members were added and this year our class was more zealous and enthusiastic than it had been before. S Troas Leader was chosen as our president and Zelma Dun- zer. Secretary-Treasurer. They filled these positions very aptly. VVe all like to be Juniors and we have many parties this year which everyone who has attended has enjoyed.

The play ended and the lady was called out, I was near the stage and was pleased to tind it was my old friend, Troas Leader. At once I decided that we would have a good old chat. I asked permission to see her. The man- ager said that she was rather downhearted today and perhaps would not permit me. But not being discouraged, I sent in my card. i 'I ' ' I-N . :.' '. . 'z ' Broadway, I have been away so long: and have been living in ir ? gy 1 ' z ' av' ,. V ' g Presently, instead of receiving the summons, I saw Troas coming. Why, Welma Shoemaker, where did you come from? I thought you were in Europe. Vi'hen did you arrive? How long have you been here? These were the questions she asked as we hugzgred and kissed each other. t'Come with me to the hotel and we will have a gossip party. James, the chauifeur, brought the car around and we chatted of our personal experiences as we were going to the hotel. I had quite a hard time getting father and mother to consent, but after they tried to make me settle down as a farmer's wife and failed, they decided that I had better try my luck as a comedian. At last I have succeeded fand I am not boastingj. I am considered the best comedian in the States. I like the work very much and make a great deal, said l'roas. Page Forty-six I have been supervising the work of the Salvation Army abroad, and I have been treated royally everywhere I went. .lust then we reached the hotel. Troas dismissed her chautteur, gave orders not to be disturbed, and we settled ourselves for a chat. I began it. Nl'hile in Paris I chanced to ,fro into an American restaurant, a modest little place, very tastefully furnished, and which is becoming famed for its dainty little dinners. XVhile enjoying one of these repasts I overheard a conversation between two waitresses. 'The caterer was very ill,' they said, 'and so lonely.' Thinking I might be of some help to her, I told them my name and they had often heard her mention me. I asked them her name: it was ltuth Flowers. I found her, and she had worked so hard and needed a rest, so I persuaded her to come home with me, She left immediately for Uhio to visit relatives in Deshlerf' Troas looked rather lonely when I mentioned Deshler, and she said, 'KI do ,fret lonesome to go back to Deshler, but since most of my school friends have left there would not he so many attractions. Marie Marks is with me in this company as a toe dancer, but she had an important engagement to fill this afternoon, and so is not here at present. She is splendid, and New York is enthralled by her beauty and grace. Men- tioning her engagement reminds me to tell you that she has gone out with Foster VVink, who is now a beauty doctor in this city. Marie tells me that his business is progressing very rapidly, and I suppose we shall soon be wishing the two much success. They have gone to 'Une Place Pour Bonnes Choses' this afternoon. VVho do you suppose is the owner SCARLE,T,. WHITE ' of this eaharet? Chester Bennett and his wife, formerly Miss Donna Stantield. I have to mention her, for it is said that she manages the husiness, and Chester entertains the diners with jokes. funny danees and comical songs. ' Troas, when you mentioned jokes, that made me think of the joke book I read on lny voyage to Ameriea. Beulah I.allue was the authoress and they were just as amusing: and entertaining as those she used to tell in school. Another passenger was Iieo YValtn1ire. Ile was just as he always wasg so prim and took everything so earnestly. lie told me that he had been teaching agriculture in Oxford, England, hut it seemed as if the trustees of that university thought his methods were rather old-fash- ioned. Ile told me that he had taught it just as Mr. lfairehild. when he himself was a Junior and studying: agriculture. Ile had not lu-eonie discouraged, however, hut had decided to try teaehing in old Il. ll. S. Troas, have you heard anything: about Zelma? Yesg there has heen quite a tragedy in Zelma's life. She stayed in Deshler and so did Carl. They were engaged. hut Zelma's parents opposed the mateh so strongly that they had to hreak the engagement. Zelrna's grief was long and lasting, and she had lost all interest in lite. She is now a sister in the convent in Toledo. Carl was forced to take a position which would require much thought and lahor, lxeeause he eould only think of one thing at a tinieg so he is selling ladies' silk hose. Mentioning Zehna reminds me of John Hoke. While talking to l,eo he told me that he had corresponded with John and that he had a position as tester of recipes in Mrs. I3aker's Sehool of Cookery, in New York City. He liked his job very much and was fretting along fine. His wife, formerly Grace Herr, was very successful as a newspaper ' i reporter of the New York llerald. She is one of the highest salaried reporters in New York. 'l'hohurn Kendall's life is all happiness now.

VVhat was the cause of all this excitement? VVhy, to some Qgl boy or girl in the family that long dreamed of day had at last arrived when they might enter High School. NVhen the boys and girls from all the homes had gathered in the large assembly room of the Deshler High School it was found that the finest and largest class of all times had that day placed its name upon the history of the High School as the Freshman Class of Nineteen Hundred Eighteen and Nineteen Hundred Nineteen. In the first few weeks of our High School life we were very ill at ease and easily embarrassed and perhaps many times wished for a hole in the floor large enough that we might sink through. VVe often watched and envied the wise and dignified Sophomores as they seemed so much at home, and wondered if we would ever feel so cool and self-possessed as our more learned friends did. Soon a class meeting was called and we elected Ellis Shirey, a prominent member of the class, as president, and Gladys Needles, a popular young lady, as secretary-treasurer. Page Fifty-two Then we had a party which was followed by several others. Near the end of the term we found invitations on our desks inviting us to the Freshmen-Sophomore party to be held in the High School room. Or course, we all attended and were very pleasantly entertained by the Sophomore class. On the last day of school we held a picnic in Buchanan's Grove and, with this, ended our pleasant term as Freshmen. After three months we once again found ourselves in the familiar schoolroom as the Sophomore Class of Nineteen Hundred Nineteen and Nineteen Hundred Twenty. Every- thing looked natural and we were soon quite at home. We often watched and pitied the poor little Freshmen as they walked across the room looking so embarrassed and wondered what they were frightened at. VVe soon called a class meeting and elected Ivan Freeman as president and Serge Harris as secretary-treasurer. Yve then had several Sophomore parties, which were well attended by Freshmen, Juniors and Seniors, as well as Sopho- mores. Near the latter part of the year we sent out invita- tions and entertained the Freshmen, as is always the custom. The year passed without any very exciting events, but next year we will be Juniors and then we shall engage in excitement. -O. P. and M. F. S CARLET ,at WHITE Sophomores CLASS OFFICERS F. W.

They have made their classmates proud of them And this has been their aim. Now Myrtle, Mabel, and Marvel, too, Always seem to have something to dog They lahor long and hard eaeh day And never have much to say. But Vivian, just the opposite of these three, ls always talking where'er she he. She is mighty in form, as well as in mind, And tries to make herself useful and kind, Now, Ellis and Serge are chums, And famous for their witg Some of the girls think they are handsome, And with everyone make a hit. lissie and Mildred are rather quarrelsome, But hoth are noted for their heauty. And Edith and Frances with their musis-al talent Are always ready to do their duty. S..,QeA IQ.LE.Tv81 WHITE W'ilbur Bennett is slow but sure And he'll make himself famous some day. John Beck is very industrious And often works while others play. Ruth Young makes lots of noise And seldom looks inside her hooks, VVhile Margaret and Maurine wish to study And they glance at her with angry looks. Delhert Adams and Edward VVenner Are rather hashful yet full of fun, VVhile Vincent and Kenneth have lost their amhition, And are often seen dreaming in the sun. Gayel and Edith, and Pearl, too, Are neat and tidy from head to shoe. They are kind and courteous to young and old And rather enjoy making dates, I'm told. Of Juanita Werner there isn't much to tell, Although in artistic ability she can all excel: But she isn't quite happy, though you try to cheer, Except the third period when the Senior boy is near. Homer YanSi'oyoe, so they say, Goes a courting: every day: lle'll he happy when he has the sand 'l'o ask for a little .ll1nior's hand. .Xudrey Frawford is amhitious.

Page I-'ifty-sev ' SCARLET yes WHITE ' The SOPl'lOI1'1OI'6 HSS PITOP CCY fc? A QD RRIYING in Deshler at IO A. M., I recalled the place of my Childhood and decided once again to visit my schoolmates. The ilu!! town was much thc same eycept a little larger and more filthy looking. As I started from the depot I was looking in all ,sg gr directions to see the changes of the town. Ynnoticed, I Qi B ex! stumbled on a log lying across the street and was caught from l 'l falling hy a middle-sized man. He was d1'essed in a police uniform. I recognized him to he VVilhur Bennett. In our short con- versation he told me that Louis Stout had recently eloped with lierthele after Howard lidwards had tried so long to win her. I started on and was soon joined with the former lidith XVilford, who had married a wealthy man from New York and was also visiting in Deshler. She seemed to be very happy and she carried a little white dog with her. I asked her if Juanita and Urla had married. She looked so surprised at me and said, Haven't you heard about them? After going together for many years they hegan to drift apart and go with other friends. Now Urla is married and Juanita left the country. It is not known where she went, Edith then left me to catch the train for hei' home in New York. I walked on and saw a sign which read G. M. Conkey, Attorney-ab Law. I wondered if this could he my old schoolmate, Gayel Conkey, so I entered and found it to he her. Sitting by a tahle was Opal Powell, her stenographer. They told me Ituth, Mildred, Frances and lissie were old maids living together and called a party several times a month, try- ing to cateh a man. They told me that Myrtle and Pearl owned a large apartment in Toledo and were dressmakers. They informed me that Forrester Kline was a doctor and Audrey Crawford was a nurse. At is was noon hy this time I entered a restaurant. I waited at a table for some time and at last two persons appeared. The one was a small man and walked as though he was afraid to pick up his feet. He wore a long heard lmt was neatly dressed. The other was a lady with Page Fifty-eight small dark eyes and dark hair. I recognized her to he Norma VVahler. XVe then had a short conversation. She told me this man was Kenneth Miller. She told me that Margaret Meyer was cashier at the Farmers' Store and Mahel Oherlitner was teacher of Domestic Science at Colum- lvus. She told me that Vivian had gone as a missionary to India. As I stepped on the street again I heard a voice shouting 'tfresh fish. The voice sounded familiar so I looked to see who it was, It was two men sitting on a wagon that had a few small iish in it. One was sitting on the front and the other on the hack. They both wore old ragged clothes and had long gray hair and a beard, They looked as though they had had a hard life. I found out afterwards this was Ellis and Serge. I decided I would visit the old schoolhouse that I had attended in my youthful days. On my way there I met Homer VanScoyoc. He told me he was still a farmer, After a short interview I started on. The school huilding looked much older and more dangerous. As I entered the door I met the former Marvel Adams with a broom in her hand. She told me she had married lidward XVenner and together they were the janitors of the school huilding. She told me Delbert had married Iidith Roach and they owned a small store in Shawtown, I went through the school huilding and found Maurine Long was the first grade teaeherg Vincent Meyers, the eighth grade teacherg John Dunn the principal of the high school and Edward Kern the superin- tendent of the school. As my time was getting short I decided to go down to the park and depot. There was hardly any park ground there. There were no flowers and the grass was long. The monkey was the only animal in the park. As I neared the cage to my surprise I saw Ivan Freeman feeding the monkey. Disappointment seemed to he everywhere and in my sorrow to see the town in such a Condition I decided to start on my journey homeward. -Mary Freeman. S CA l12.LETl 8:.lXXfI-1II'.

WHITE Freshmen ass History 5 W U! HE change itself was in no way peculiar. In fact, it happens every year. There seemed little to foretell iff' the event, but on that memorable Monday morning, iq? September Sth, 1919, we, who only a few months be- ,:.,t f3'f I fore had been Eighth Graders, were Freshmen. Then L , I it was that we became interested and as Freshmen we had many things to welcome, and though we were somewhat staggered at our own greatness, we looked upon our work as cheerfully as could be expected of a Freshman class. Soon speculation ran as to what Mr. Romaker would do in Latin, and what Miss Chenot would expect us to know about English. W x It was left to the girls to begin the social part of the year. The first part of the season a weiner roast proved a complete failure but this did not affect the splendid times enjoyed by the Freshmen afterward. Our class elections have been models of harmony and free- dom from discord. But this is easily explained. The boys outnumber the girls, and boys, dear readers, never quarrel. Their one rule has always been to vote solid against anything suggested by the girls. Now, those who have heard Grace translate Latin, Helen solve the equations found in Algebra, or Paul describe Mars, cannot deny that in this class there is a great promise. Truly, the Freshman Class is rich in possibilities, both literary and artistic. -J. B. S CA QLEjrrVe.

N SCAIQLET ,es XMHITE A TCS H1611 Class FOP CCY NH night in December, just a few days before Christmas, Juan- J 36 nil ita stayed all night with me and after going to bed we began - l to talk of graduation. Although we were only Freshmen, we were almost as one would say Counting your chickens before -.17 . they are hatched. After talking a long time we went to sleep Nu' and soon we were dreaming peaceful dreams of the subject ,, Wi talked about not long before. I dreamed that we went to Paris to buy our clothes for graduation. Having landed safely on the European shore we felt perfectly safe and bought a ticket that would take us on into Paris. NVhen the car, as we thought it would, arrived, we got in but it was like American people send horses and cows in. But we never said a word and took it as it came. After arriving in Paris we found a hotel where we thought we would stay all night and then we would go shopping all next day. After buying a few things and visiting a few style shops we were still undecided about our purchasing. The next day we thought it would be nice to go sightseeing so we went to the President's residence where we gained entrance and the whole family being well educated as to the English language, we enjoyed our visit very much and when we were ready to leave they highly insisted that we should stay all night and the next day they would take us to see No Man's Land, so, of course, having the opportunity, we stayed and the next morning real early we started on our journey. Having Page Sixtyesix seen all the sights, we started back and after leaving the residence of the President of France, we went back to our hotel and the next day we finished our purchasing and again started for the good old U. S. Af' After boarding the ship we snugly cuddled ourselves up for the night but were soon awakened when we felt water all over us and after re- gaining our senses we found that the ship had been hit by an iceberg and we at last found ourselves on a barren island several miles from anywhere. On this island we were compelled to stay for eight years eating only iish, nuts and fruit. At last a small sailing vessel came along and we were lucky to get to come back. Although they only took a few, they managed to take Juanita and me, as we were the youngest who were on the shores of the island, and two days after that we were in Deshler, our former home town, but no one looked the same. All of the buildings were very high and it seemed like going back into Paris, but while walking through the street we happened to notice on one of MARGARET NORRIS Vocal Teacher S28 Per Lesson 4 the windowS+ After thinking awhile we recalled the name and went up to her studio but there sat a large woman with gray hair and she was saying this in front of a small child-- do, re, mi, fa, sol, la ti, do, and after she recog- nized us we asked her who the small child was and she said that it was S CA RLET 'Ear 'XXf,Ir-IITE. Helen Shaftstall and, of course, she told us that Richard Shattstall had married Helen Lee, the wonderful mathematician. She also told us that Naomi Shane had married Edward Borden and she was taking in wash- ings to keep the seven little ones in clothes, as Edward was a junk dealer and the business was failing terribly. XVe soon left and to our surprise, as we went farther, we noticed on one of the windows: SPECIAL--FRIED CAKES AND RUNS! NVe Will Deliver Them as Far as You WVish 'I'helma Firman R Fred Sherman VVe did not stop as we thought we had better go on and see what else we could find, and soon met a tall woman who weighed about two hun- dred ten pounds and inquired about her and found it was Mae Thomas who had married Ralph Wenner and they and their three children were living happily on the farm and she asked us to come out and eat dinner with them some day. YVe soon left her and to our surprise, on one of the finest building windows in town, was written: MARGARET OSBORN-PAYI. BIKER Shaving, Hair Cutting and Hair Dressing Ladies and Gents VVe thought we would stop so we went in and there we saw Paul, a man whose hair was so curly that he could not comb it out, but he did not know us, so he asked ns what we wanted and we just laughed. Margaret was out preparing dinner, so we were informed. She was staying with her sister, Mildred, who was living in the outskirts of town, with Morrison Donald, her husband. lint Paul told us that Alvin WValker had married Grace Tussinger, who was a very handsome blonde, and had taken the prize at the beauty exhibition and that Amalia Paul had mar- ried Donald Knoke, who was the preacher in church not far from Deshler. Not long after this we started out and met Laura Lyle, who in a great rage had torn her hair down because her angel husband, Alva Van- Scovoc, had by mistake, given Edna Dunzer, the village commercial teacher, one cent too much in change when he waited on her in the boarding house. But she was soon quieted and the penny given back to her. After talking to her, telling our great troubles, she told us that Arthur VVenner and Robert Dunn were keeping baehelor's hall and Madonna McGaharan was cooking for them, and that Viola Viieaver was teaching school in Alaska and Opal Rader had married Henry Flowers and the poor boy had lost his mind from continually hearing Latin and had run away from home. But to our greatest surprise, after leaving her, we noticed a paper which said: Vote for EDWARD ISINDEMANN for President of the United States WVe looked at one another and laughed and thought of how they used to tease Edward about being tall but at last he had beaten them all. Soon I felt cold and opened my eyes and looked around and there stood Juanita and mother who had been watching me through my whole dream. -HGH G- Page Sixty-seven SCARLET EQ XXflI-IITE aracter Study 1 Q, k 1- , NAME 1 XVEAK l'0lN'1' s'l'lt0N1.: l'0IN'l' Homlv FAMUYS FOR X' 'i ,V P21111 Uilifll' ,---f-YvY------,,Y -,---- Y 51l1'b !'lYl2' f--- ---, bfr- fv.....

This Page Eighty class is one of the classes in the school which is united and have this as their motto: ln Union There is Strengthf, Un the evening of September 17, 1919, the class gathered at the home of Miss Lelah Leyser to remind her of her seven- teenth birthday. As this was the first party of the school year an unusually good time was enjoyed by all. Refreshments were served about 10 230 and it was at this time every one was in the highest of spirits. Miss Lelah was presented with a kodak as a remembrance of this day. This good time only pleaded for another, and the class gathered at the country home of Zelma Dunzer, September 241, about 8 :30 P. M. The best part of this party was the journey to and from, which was made in automobiles. The evening was spent in music, dancing' and playing games. At 11:00 o't-lock a lap lunch was served and was enjoyed by all. The crowd bade adieu at a late hour and we were all busy for the next few days discussing the delights of the evening. About two weeks elapsed and no party! How could we ever endure being' separated so long? Hut this only called Ruth Flowers' attention and she gave an excellent party at her home. on the evening of October l0tl1. The usual group of eighteen gatliered about 8 :OO olelock and this time the crowd seemed more gay than ever because we were all pleased with the good times we had at the previous parties, and tried to S CARLET ,es WHITE c make this one the best. The refreshments were served at the usual hour, 10:30, and after these were relished -we resumed our games and music. This was a time that was enjoyed by all. Ever since we were Freshmen we always had a Hal- lowe'en party, but this year the subject dropped, and no one seemed to think anything about Hallowe'en until at noon the Tuesday previous to the 31st, our bunch gathered in the assembly room and decided that it would not seem natural if we did not have a party. After much discussion and planning Grace Herr proposed that she would give the party at her home. Every one was planning what kind of a costume they were going to wear. That evening from 7:30 until 9:00 there were persons coming, in the best of costumes. VVhen we all assembled in one room and each character was made known to each of us, we began to have the Htimei' of the evening. A lunch suitable for this occasion was spread about 11:30 and each tried to see who could eat the most Hpumpkin pie. VVe were all disappointed when the clock chimed the final hour of twelve, and we all knew that we would have to get our rest in order to do ample ustice to our school works. Yve all wished the evening again as long, because we had had a wonderful time. From this time on the class was rather at a standstill. Dur' ing the month of November we held no parties. In December we were all busy planning for our Christmas vacation, and also for the good time that would unite with these days. Christmas was over and everyone was rather lonesome, because they had enjoyed such good times, which they had planned on. The last day of the old year 1019, Ruth Flowers surprised each of us by sending us an invitation for the lVatcb Party which was to be held at her home the evening of December 31st, This time we were all eager to attend, because it had been quite a lapse of time since we were at a gathering. And we were all in the height of our glory as usual. Refreshments were served at 10:30 and when the clock struck the last hour of the old and the first of the new year, we welcomed the New Year by singing and playing music. VVe all departed wishing that we would have the good times in the new year we had had in the past. ln January came the good sledding. lVe were all eager for a sled ride, so with a little pleading and effort on our part Carl Knoke made the statement that he would take us for a short ride. On the evening of January 27th we all gathered at the home of Marjorie Bergman, and at 8:00 oiclock we started for a grand ride and time combined. VVe rode about six miles and it was 10:00 o'clock when we arrived at the home of VVelma Shoemaker where a large table full of good eats awaited us. About 1021115 we did ample justice to these, after which we played party games with the usual music and story telling. This was an unusually good time because we were pleased with the ride and also the entertainment and lunch after we returned. In the month of February, the noted month of the year, Grace Herr gave a wonderful Valentine party. It was one of the best of the parties and when we all arrived at her home at a reasonable hour in the evening, the room in which we were to have our games, was very nicely decorated in hearts and eupids appropriate for the day. The evening was spent in the most enjoyable way possible. lt was our only duty to Page Eighty-one SCARLET ye, WHITE. A make a good ti1ne for each other, which we most certainly did. VVhen lunch time came, the hour, usually 10:30, a large plate was handed to each of us, which we all ate in the dining room with the best of cheer. After this we played and had a good time for about another hour and then departed for our homes although we will never forget that day. Thursday evening, March 4-, Grace Herr invited a number of boys and girls to her house in honor of her friend who came here for a short visit. As this gathering was not made up of many persons we did not play g'21ll1CS.bl1lJ the Victrola was kept busy and with it the animal and touring decks. At 10:00 ofelock large pop corn balls were served and relished by each of us. ll-'e all bade idieu at 10:30 and were pleased with the delightful evening. Since this is all the parties up to the present time it is re- gretted by every one. But these times are not ended for this school year and we are all positive that we will never forget the most enjoyable of our school years-the Junior. -Z. D.

Of course, we would enjoy the Sophof more more than the Freshman year for then we were imposed upon and laughed at. NVQ were afraid to stir lest we would be made fun of. This year we are not the lowest class and we feel as though we are somebody. Page Eighty-two A party at the home of Miss Gayel Conkey, a prominent member of the class, Friday evening, October 3, was the open- ing enjoyment of the year. Many outdoor games were played in which all took a part. There were contests given which were very interesting and each one worked for the prize. VVe were all served with delicious refreshments and went home satisfied with our good time. A party was held at the home of Bliss Essie Boyer, VVednes- day evening, February 25. On account of the cold weather all games were played indoors. A good lunch was served after many of the games were played. It was an interesting party and every one had a good time. The Freshman-Sophomore party was held in the High School room, lVednesday evening, March 31. There was a large attendance of Freshmen and Sophomores. Mr. Fair- child, Mr. Romaker, Miss Chenot and Miss Umstead were also present. An entertainment was given by the Sophomores at S o'clock. This was followed immediately by games. As it was a very pleasant evening we played many games outdoors. After playing for about two hours we were called in the school room to be served. lVe were served with light refreshments and once more our games were resumed. VVe were Very sorry when Mr. Fairchild announced that all children should be at home in hed. The Sophomore class hopes the good times will continue.

The society was or- I7 'R, ganized after the failure of the two former societies. the Philomathean and the Crescents. W'e have no way of knowing how the name Corinthian was ob- ,Y1 tained but it is without doubt from the old Corinth- ians, who centuries of years ago were noted for their bravery. loyalty and excellent training. The society has been a credit to the ancient Corinthians in all these things. There is no written account of the doings ofthe Corinthians until the year 1916. ln the last semester of the school year 1915-1916 a constitution and by-laws were written and ad- opted by the Corinthians and Athenians. Those serving on the committee were: Hobson Kline, Georgreana Robinson and Helen Phillips, together with a committee of Athenians. This constitution states that the society has for its object the education of its members along intellectual lincsg that the activities of the organization shall consist of programs rend- ered before the school. to which the public is invited. The Corinthians chose as their colors Alice blue and white. They now have a beautiful felt banner of Alice blue, lettered with white which graces our schoolroom on the occasions when the splendid programs are rendered. The Corinthians of 1917-1918 can proudly point to it and say VVc contributed this to our society. VVhen it comes to taking up any important proposition you can always depend on the Corinthians to do their share. It Page Ninety-four makes no diFt'erence if it is only friendly rivalry, or if it might mean the sacrifice of life or limb for the betterment of those involved. Such was the case when the United States entered the war to Make the world safe for Democracy. It is a real credit to glance over the names of the boys who were willing to give up the pleasures and smoothness of home lifeg brave hardships and trials to turn their backs upon everything dear to their hearts and follow their flag 3,000 miles over submarine in- fested waters to devastated France, well knowing that they might or might not have the chance to ever return. Hut with the true Corinthian spirit they were found fit and ready at their country's call for men. Vlialdo Stewart and Wvilbur Lose were the first to go. Waltz Norris was commissioned lieutenant and served as a training officer. Ernest Sehwiehert acted as an interpreter. Bruce LaRue chose to don the sailor's blue and take his chances on the deep blue sea. Harry Sterling served in the medical de- partment. Arthur Oberlitncr saw his share of service with the engineers. Ferris Myrice traveled to Sunny Italy to reinforce the Italians against the Austrians. Clyde VanHorn belonged to a detached medical department. VVhile our boys were serving in the home camps or on for- eign fields those who stayed at home were not idle. They still continued to render splendid programs. ln addition to this they did their bit toward Y. M. C. A. funds, VVar Chest, Lib- erty Loans and VVar Savings Stamps.

WHITE ' History of the Athenian Literary Society W M HE history of the Athenian Literary Society of Desh- ler Hi will of necessity be vague. However, this 7E society was born into the school world of Deshler, qqzngai February 8th, 1916. The rather ponderous volumes F4515 that bear record of its many achievements fail to dis- . , ,, close the reason the infant was christened Athenian. It becomes our privilege then to indulge in imagination and our intuition tells us that we are on the right track. It is our belief that Mr. E. O. Fairchild, at that time superintendent of the schools, was attracted by certain mythological tales and from certain myths and historical facts evolved this name. Long, long ago in the city of Athens, then the metropolis of Greece, there was erected a temple to the Goddess Minerva, the goddess of war, of arts and science. of poetry and also of spinning and weaving. The name therefore is comprehensive of versatility. Here into this temple would come the poets and scholars of Athens with the purpose of reading their own works and also instructing others. Vvorks of high merit and culture were brought out in these meetings. Did you ever throw a pebble into the lake and see how far the ripples spread? It is a foregone conclusion that the better the pattern the greater the chance for a favorable result. No doubt then the man who gave rise to this society in our school was governed by an influence that had come down through the ages. an influence exerted first by these scholars of Athens. A thinking people will revere a name that had stoodlhigh and will. if possible, add lustre to it. VVho knows but this had its effects on the first president of the Deshlcr Athenians. Edward A. Cottingham. now of Col- umbus, who when the YVorld XVar was on. fretted and out- wardly raged at his youth because right then and there he could not don the liliikii' Fellow Athenians are proud to say that in course of time he took the plaee he desired and was in I ag'e Ninety-eight training for a commission when the war ceased. Willard Hickle, John Sterling, Harley Boyer, Charles VVenner and Herbert Davis also were wearers of this cloth of gold. Ralph LaRue sailed the high seas and Loy Sockman, the fearless one, how natural Loy chose the sky with no limitations. So a pilot, a full fledged, high-flying commissioned officer he became. Because these fellow Athenians were the splendid one hundred per cent Americans they were, we say 'iHip! Hip! and God bless you. Others of the clan have taken their places in society in a way that is most gratifying. Some are tillers of the soil, others are teaching the young idea how to s'hoot and a few are the heads of established homes. Amongfthose who constitute in part the present student body of the school, we find marked tendencies of mind, certain strong indications of talent. that lead us to believe that we shall C0l1tl'1l!lltC largely in the future of men and women far above the average. The most recent achievements of the Athcnians came about when the Corinthians and Athenians conducted the 'sale of the 1919 Red Cross Xmas Seals by the way of a lively contest. The net result was The Corinthians gracefully handed the palm to thc Atheniansf' To date this is our crowning effort. These officers have served as our executive heads: 1916---President, Edward A.

In fact, lots of times when we are called on in class and respond a little stupidly it's because we have been rudely brought back from some beauti- ful place. The other night when I went to bed I ust couldn't sleep for awhile and I had the best time imagining things and Hnally went to sleep and had the dream of my life. It seemed that I was one of a party of girls from our Athen- ian Society that was to take an unusual trip to the European countries under the care of Miss Chenot. Just how to go or where to go was neither here nor there with usg all we did was to pay fifty cents to Richard Shaffstall and he, with the assist- ance of Ivan Freeman, arranged our trip. Finally it was de- cided that instead of going over in anything so commonplace as an aeroplane we would each ride over on a Hying fish and Wear our basket ball suits. Miss Che-not went along and at her command the fish would come to attention and she would say, Uxow, girls, who wrote Cock Robin. and why do you suppose he wrote it F Then on we'd go again. Finally we arrived at Brest, France, and were terribly fussed to think we had gotten our suits so wet and smelling fishy. Juanita was the worst of the lot. She lost her curl rags going over and she certainly was peevish. Miss Chenot tried to comfort us by saying she would write home for the balance of our clothes. What did we care for study and research work? Then while we were all talking who came riding up the street in a big Packard Six but Mr. Myrice, who had been retained by the French government at a salary of S90 a year and laundry. to conduct American tourists to the place where they could buy post cards of the places they hadn't visited to send back home. We were so glad to see him. Finally we missed lNIadonna and after an houris search we found her. She seemed very peni- tcnt but said Mr. Myrice had told her to find the unknown number and she was out looking for it. Miss Chenot was so mortiiied and after that I can tell you she spoke for us. Mr. Mvrice took us in a little shop and ordered dried fruits in sea- son along with some substantial food. VVe were so surprised when he said, Just charge it to President Fairchild g we all gasped- Yes, he said, the dear old Ii. O. calne over here and was elected President of I rance. Vve all started on the run to the palace and then all at once Virginia Shirey called out, I won't go in this horrid old suit and my rouge is all wet and more than that I'm expecting a special delivery letter from Oscar any time. If the President wants to see me, let him come here, and we all agreed with her. I was a little disappointed at not going but after awhile here he came, in his palace, all gay with Athenian colors, a dear little apple cart hitched on behind, and Clyde VanHorn as head footman running in advance calling out- Atheniansl Atlieniansl Long live the :Xthenianslu VVe were perfectly amazed and nearly ran over Clyde in greeting Mr. Fairchild. The latter was fairly swamped with our questions. But, as soon as he had finished the apple he was eating and had re- covered his breath, he told us that after a bloody battle of dominoes between the Athenians and Corinthians, General Vanl-Iorn was forced to make a complete surrender to General Gerdeman. Miss Umsted and Mr. Romaker had stayed by the Corinthians until the last and were now doing a life sentence of the most menial kind at the bidding of General Gerdeman. Poor Mr. Romaker, he had so much pride, too. .lust as we clanibered into the palace to make a sightseeing trip of the city, to which President Fairchild had given us the keys, a perfectly unsentimental B. 8: O. engineer whistled for the tar- get and awakened me--and it was suchfa romantic trip.

His father, after seeing his son's discontent. thought a visit to the city would rid him of his foolish ideas. The week following Mr. ' I5ronson's decision found llavid hoarding the train going toward the city. Ifpon entering the car. David found that all the seats were occupied save one beside a young' lady. David. hewildered with the sight of so many people ahsently took the seat. Vtvhen the train pulled out of the station he hreathed a sigh of satis- faction as he saw the hated farm disappear hehind him. Feasting his delighted eyes on the sights flying past him. he was unaware that the young lady with whom he was seated was watching him intently. Vontinuing her graze she finally drew his attention from the window. Looking down. llavid saw her face. her large black eyes seemed to smile at him and poor David astonished at this young lady's beauty. could not turn from her. lfinally. she smiled and asked in a pleasant low voice. You al'e going to New York? David smiled and IIIJIIIJIQTII to answer with an awkward, Yes, ma'am.l' i'Good.', she went on still smiling. I am going there also. I live there Init I havenlt hecn there for a long time. My parents have moved and I am at a loss to know where to tind them. I have several addresses hut----g here she paused as if she knew not how to continue. Presently she lifted her hright eyes to his and asked sweetly. K'VI'ould you esco1't me home? Of course, I would not ask anyone to escort me hut I can see by your honest face that you are a true gentleman and worthy of a good woman's companyf' I'age Une Hundred Four David looked helplessly around and replied stammering, But madam.

OhI that is all right, I know the City thoroughly, but you know it's just the idea of a young lady alone in the city at inidnigliti- She stopped abruptly and turned her face toward the window as if waiting for his decision. David turned all these things over in his inexperienced mind. He thought her reasons seemed plausihle enoughehut yet. something was wrong some place. Glancing at the beauf tiful creature at his side. thinking of her faith in his honesty in asking' him. a farmer boy. to protect her, his faee flushed with pride as he thought of these things and was on the point of 2lCCtfPtI1l2Q',' when she turned quickly toward him with tears streaming down her cheeks. After I have placed my entire trust in you as a gentleman. you refuse to protect me. she sohhed gently and drawing a handkerchief f1'om her purse she ln-gan wiping' her tear-stained cheeks. l3avid's attention was called to a wonderful opal ring on her right hand. At one angle it appeared blue, and at another. red. Having' been startled at the Q'lt'!lllllllQ' gein he was unahle to answer her. Noticing his eyes riveted on the ring she hastily wiped her eyes. returned her handkerchief to its place, and put the hand with the ring on in her pocket. Seeing her tears and evident distress at his refusal to protect her. he felt a sudden pang at his heart and readily assured her he would see her home safely. Instantly her face hrightened and laying her shapely white hand upon his shoulder thanked him so profusely that he was at once restored to his normal self. She proved a very interesting companion the remainder of the journey, when she told him of the ,wonderful siffhts and H .S.CA1Q,LETiiies wil-IITE A - e...1:i1- - experiences in store for him. So happily did the moments Hy that he was unaware of their entrance into the great metropo- lis. After they had alighted from the train she immediately called a taxi and actually pushed David into the seat. Swiftly they flew over the brilliantly lighted streetsg so absorbed was he in the large buildings and bright lights that he did not no- tice they had reached a poor section of the city and that the girl was tapping him on the shoulder. Looking up, she merely said, Comeg we have reached my home. David followed her out and before he could regain his com- posure they were standing in the road in front of a large white house. For the first time he had his misgivings: and his suspicions were still further aroused when she turned a pale face toward him and requested in a stiiied voice for him to walk softly, as her parents might be asleep. Upon approaching the house he perceived a small flickering light in the upper story. iVith a stealthy step they entered the house. All was dark and David now thoroughly frightened was just conscious that she had given him directions to ascend the staircase at the left. It was with trembling limbs that he complied with her request. Upon reaching the hall upstairs he stood there at loss as to what to do when a low moan reached his earsg it sounded from the lower part of the house. Blindly he gropcd in the darkness for some avenue of escape from this awful house. He groped at the wall and when his head came in contact with a knob of a door he madly threw it open. He could hardly see. coming from the darkness into the lighted room. Raising his now blood-shot eyes he started hack with a low cry of fear and began searching for the door. In Vain he searched and rub- bing his eyes as if to restore their sight he looked at the further end of the room again. There stood three girls of dazzling beauty pointing at him with fiery eyes and murmur- ing voices almost inandible. Suddenly they shouted at him, Yi'here is our sister and the opal ring?', Poor. bewildered David. believing himself trapped. ran for the door again and fortunately for him his hand encountered the knob of the door. Opening this he found himself in dark- ness again and running to right and left he stumbled down the stairs. Reaching the lower hall he again searched for the doorg a piercing cry behind him told that thc three girls were following him. Glancing up the stairs he saw the three almost upon him. their accusing fingers still pointing at him and their hair falling in thick black profusion over their shoulders. Ter- ror stricken, he ran the length of the hall. where he found another door. Looking back he saw them coming almost upon him. when with a mad rnsh he opened the door and feel in. exhausted. Hearing the key turn in the lock he gave him- self np and staggering to his feet he looked around for some way to get out of this house. At last. in despair, he raised his eyes for a last look when at the opposite end of the room he saw a blue light. Making his way thither he reached for the mysterious light and with a cry of anguish he sprang back- ward. His hand had touched the opal ring on the gir1's linger. Summoning all his will powerhe approached the sec- ond time to make sure. He felt the hand again and this time he knew by the cold moist lingers, it was the girlvdead. He was in the act of taking the ring from the lifeless finger when a hand gripped his throat with such a force that he was sent to the floor. The hand clasped tighter and tighter around his neck and he believed himself slowly strangling to death. He was aroused from his stupor by a ringing sound. Feebly opening his eyes he saw a bright red light shining in his eyes. Reaching' for the light he again came in contact with the opal ring. The hand released its hold. Grasping it in his hand he fell over dead with the opal ring clasped in his hand. -D. M. W. Page One Hundred Five SCARLET ua. WHITE ' A ROIIIZ-11106 6139 T was among the beautiful woodland Ozarks in the 1.. -X evening when the radiant sun was just sinking be- L neath the last horizon and day was fast ebbiug from our sight. Through this wonderful scene lead a beau- xj':.s'b' tiful lane winding around and around among the - trees. Presently, a young and beautiful girl came tripping merrily along with her watchdog. She was small and slender, with long black curls and dancing blue eyes. She had the rosiest cheeks, perfect picture of health and her watchdog was a pretty yellow and white collie. Lois, for this was her name. was coming to meet her father, who had large interests in silver mines at that place. She heard him coming at if distance, whistling a merry tune. She thought she would surprise him by hiding behind some bushes and jump at him as he passed. This she did. Mr. Lane fairly beamed with joy when he found out who it was for she had been away to a seminary in the East and this was her first visit home. She was so happy to see him she did not know whether to laugh or cry so she did both. Her father was just as happy as she. They walked along arm in arm and talked of this and that and finally he spoke of his new stenographer and what a fine young man he was. He did not notice the blush that came to his daughter's face as he spoke of Jack, the new steno- grapher. Nor did she tell him she had known him in the East and had encouraged him to come VVest and see if her father would accept him in his office. Vvhen they reached home Mrs. Lane came out to meet them, telling them to hurry for dinner which was just about ready to be served. Page One Hundred Six The home of Lois was a beautiful old mansion which con- sisted of three wings and faced toward the Vllest. lt was built of beautiful gray building stones, and although the house itself was very old, yet it was modern inside. . Wlhen they came into the dining room, which was brilliantly lighted with waxen candles, .lack was already present. Mr. Lane introduced him to his daughter and they met each other formally. Lois remained at home three weeks on her vacation and during this time she and .lack grew to be fast friends Cso Mr. and M rs. Lane thoughtj. Then Lois returned to the seminary to finish the course she was taking. Things moved along very smoothly for some time. Then something happened. Mr. Lane went to his office one morn- ing. as usual. but the iirst thing to greet his eye was the open safe, papers strewn about, and all his employees present ex- cept Jack. This threw all suspicion upon the missing stenographer. I Mr. Lane was almost distracted. He went home immedi- ately and told his wife. Mrs. Lane, who guessed that Jack was more to her daughter llllfflll just merely her friend, wrote Lois, without stopping to think what kind of effect this would have upon her, all about the robbery and that .lack had dis- appeared, thinking that this would break off the friendship when Lois knew about it. But the moment after she had sent it she wished ardently that she had never done so. After learning his wife's intention of writing Lois, Mr. Lane re- turned to the office to search for evidence against or for Jack. All the time he was reproaehing himself for hiring a complete stranger. Most all the evidence he secured was against Jack. SCARLET-81 wir-IITE A The shoe tracks were just the same length and width as .lack's. His working cap was at the office and it should have been at home. VVhen Lois received word of the missing papers and money, and of the mysterious disappearance of Jack, she grew ill, very ill, and completely uunerved because she loved Jack more than she was willing to admit and she believed he would do nothing so disgraceful. The Lanes were also disappointed in Jack and finally decided to settle it by law. All the time no one knew where Jack was, when one day Mr. Lane received a letter telling them he would be back in a few days and could tell them better then why he had dis- appeared so suddenly. They wrote to him immediately telling him of the open safe and evidence against him, pleading him to come back and free himself from the blame. But he neither wrote nor came back until trial day. The day for the trial came and when Jack entered the eourt room to plead not guilty he was so white and feeble that they were terribly astonished. He was sentenced to three years in the state penitentiary unless new evidene was found. At this time Lois was brought home. Specialists said she was suffering from a nervous breakdown. Mrs. Lane was very much worried over this for Lois was an only child and had actually been an idol of her father and mother. But when she asked for Jack, her father absolutely refused to allow him to see her. She then told them that it was she who had sent Jack out there and had high hopes that he would suceecdg also that she did not think him guilty. This statement made Mr. Lane very angry. He told her in plain words that she must keep silent and let the law take its course. From then on she did keep silent. She seldom spoke to anyone and grew weaker daily until she was no longer able to sit up. Jack. in some way. had heard that, Lois was very illmand it was but a short time until he was taken with brain fever. He was delirious and kept saying 'fPoor Loisg I'm innocent. The doctors said he had but a short time to live. One morning he rallied a little. A note had been placed beneath his door asking for an interview, and was signed HJOIIILH This man was an employe of llr. Lane. The doctor said he could be admitted. VVhen John was ushered into the room he was pale and trembling but told his story clear through. 'Then he asked forgiveness, which was granted. He told how he had gotten .lack's cap and shoes from Laneis resi- dence. gone to the safe and taken the money to pay a gambling debt. He only lived to tell this and where he had hidden the money. and then died. Jack called the jailer to him and asked him to summon Mr. Lane. who came soon. Jack told him how he was sum- moned in the night by the death of his mother in the East, which accounted for his absence and hasty departure. ' After a long and difficult argument they were the best of friends. Mr. Lane had him removed to the Lane residence for convalescenee, for he wished to atone for the trouble he had caused Jack. As soon as Lois saw Jack she began to get better and they both were soon restored to health. June saw one of the most beautiful weddings ever held and a very happy bride and groom. Now when .lack leaves home he does not go alone but is accompanied by his beautiful wife. -Troas Leader. Page One Hundred Seven l 1 SCAI-11,ETje..fwjH1TE ' Te ebate Q 0 -I HE dictionary defines debate as dispute but although it is, there is much more about it of which we should think. In a QT 'gl debate both sides of the subject are presented and the audi- ence left to draw its own conclusions. Unlike the discussion, 4, 'i'f,l it is not a statement of individual opinions but is the presen- tation of a logical argument which may or may not be the opinion of the speaker. Debate is an art, not a science, and a good debater is a man of no small intellectual power. We debate to convince and persuade and we take whichever side of the question may be as- signed to us by the chairman. lt is obvious, then, that a good debater regards the question from a purely impersonal standpoint. The power to express views clearly and convincingly is particularly necessary in a debate. The following: is the way in which a debate is carried on: The Chair- man introduces the first affirmative speaker. He first addresses the chair. Later he presents the proposition just as it stands and then proceeds with the particulars. Next, the chairman introduces the first negative speaker. He first presents the resolution from the negative standpoint and then he main- tains that it is not what it is claimed. He has the burden of refutation. Third, comes the second affirmative speaker who answers the negative leader. He nmst confine himself strictly to answer strictly what the leader of the negative has said. lle may not introduce any new matter. It is also necessary that he pursue the lines laid down by the leader of the affirmative. It needs a ready speaker and quick thinker to take the part of second affirmative. Fourth comes the second negative speaker who answers the first and second affirmative speakers. lle ulust be able to combat all the affirma- tive points that have been raised. He must confine himself to the ground outlined by his predecessor, the first negative. lt will be easily under- Page One Hundred Eight stood that the second speakers on the affirmative and negative stand in need of quick wits and retentive memories, It is, howevefr, always easier to attack than to maintain and the first speakers have the hardest task. If only four speakers are prepared, the debate is then thrown open to those present, being careful to have the affirmative and negative speak- ers alternate, and after they have spoken the Hoor is given to the first affirmative who may answer some of the points raised by the speakers on the other side. The floor is then given to the first negative for the same purpose. After this the chairman reads the summing up, and puts the vote. and the debate is ended. VVhen it is desirable to allow the audience to discuss the proposition before the final vote is taken, only the vote on the argument is put when the debaters have finished. The proposition is then discussed by those present and after the discussion is over the proposition is put to vote. We have taken for granted that the debate will be spoken, not read. Whatever we may think of the reading of papers, they are absolutely destructive to a debate. The speakers nmst be able to meet all sorts of unforseen arguments to emergencies and often must say something en- tirely different from what they expected to say, No form of argumen- tation rcquires as much preliminary work as debating, and what often passes for extreme brilliancy is simply the result of careful preparation. A ready speaker is always in demand. By that phrase is meant, one who can be called upon to speak with but little if any preparation. Only practice and training can accomplish this. It was said once of a brilliant speaker that he never spoke on the subject suggested. This proves that he was brilliant but not ready. With the proper application and concentration and a good all-'round knowledge of the topics of the day, we can all train ourselves to speak acceptably if not brilliantly.

But great was their disappointment when the game ended, the score being 20-6 in our favor. Deshler vs. McComb January lfith, we started out in bob sleds for McComb to play the return game.

This charter class probably realized that greatness is not attained in one day, or even in one year, and that in order to become a society of real worth it must start in the cellar and not in the attic highf-for we find E. F. VVat- kins the only member of that class of eighty-eight. He all alone assumed the burden of fostering the association, and in spite of many discouragements and drawbacks the Alumni has continued onward and upward with unabated zeal and spirit. The number in the succeeding classes grew steadily, but this infant organization enjoyed the distinction of having more offices to be filled than members to till them until the year double naught. Down through the following years the assof ciation gained strength and the added new members lived up to the philosophy of not what you can get out of the Alumni, but what you can put into it. By following the zeal of the older members they learned that if the association did not de- serve their active interest it was not worth while, and the one who entirely loses the Alumni spirit is really not be envied, as he is missing a chance to belong to a society that counts in the life of man. Through the years of its continuous existence the Alumni has been brought to its present standard by the zealous in- glgl Page Une Hundred Twenty-four tcrcst of many members who have done honor to the society and their Alma Mater. The geometry of the school room cannot determine the straightest line of success, nor can the past be a torch to light up our future. VVe must ever be the builders of our own success-V-but the Alumni might well be thankful for the great share of lifc's successes which Dame Fortune has heaped upon its members. The history of one class is the history of many othersg they may differ in some ways, but with the exception of a little peculiarity here and there, they are the same. Their mission is identical: and from the beginning they have ever tended to uplift and brighteng to leave behind them a record of deeds and acts to illumine the pages of obscurity. Vl'hen the members of the various classes enter the busy world to take up the numerous walks of life, it is but natural that with the passing' of the years interest in their Alma hfater and the Alumni is permitted to become lax. VVe ought not, however, neglect the association and entirely lose interestg for, after all, is it not the only link in the chain which binds ns to school days and memories there clustered which cannot be told in words. Each older member of the association upon perusing this first year book cannot refrain from stealing into memory's scenes and, looking back through the lapse of time, unveil the once shrouded past and live again in by-,Krone years. How SCARLET 6 WHITE vastly ditterent are the present day methods, opportunities and advantages. The past and present cannot be compared. The Class of Nineteen Twenty and those following will never be able to realize how easily they sail on the ship of knowlf edge compared with the disadvantages and trials of pioneer graduates. Laying all this aside, still eaeh class would claim its share of happy school days. When the days of our union were over, When those memories were framed in the past. The troubles will then be forgotten But the joys will remain to the last. The history of the Alumni would not he complete without aword of Commendation of the splendid manner in which Our Boys responded to the call of the U. S. A. in the recent ,great VVorld VVar. Many left their places in the various walks oflife which had heen earned only through mighty ettort. ready to make the supreme sacrifice if necessary. VVhile they did only what true patriotic duty demanded of them, yet they carried with them the spirit of Deshler High which helped to keep up the morale of thc army in which they served. Our service tlag carries no gold stars in it. but it is symbolic of the sacrifices they made. Upon looking through the record hook of the Alumni its pages reveal the fact that here and there are names of those who have answered the eternal summons. There is no tongue so brilliant or no pen so keen which can adequately express the assoeiation's sorrow at the loss of its members. This grief is more easy to bear and the burden alleviated by the lesson which Faith has taught that The path of sorrow and that path alone 1,1-ads to the land where sorrow is unknown. Thus wc read the history of the Deshler Alumni, an associa- tion which deserves the staunch support of all its members, and there is every reason to believe that the spirit of loyalty which spelled success in the past and makes the outlook for the future hright indeed, will always continue. A ll of ns pledge to stand together, L oyal, faithful and true, every inemherg U nitcd we stand for a better association, M ay we ever vherish that happy relation, N ever forget ite-though our foosteps falter- l n memory of our dear Alma Mater. --Jane Meyers. l'ag.e One Hundred Twenty-five ' SCAFLLET,81 ,WHITE ' Unee up-on an evening dreary, I was wrestling: weak and weary, YVith some geometric' problems I had never seen before: Problems that all toil resisted, Though I grappingrly insisted, And all mental powers enlisted, As I never had of yoreg liut the problems all unraveled, Lay there ealmly, as before- Unly this, and nothing more.
