Ej...... ......Ej gg, 5. Ej,...... ......E1 15155 ll-Iiatnrg As I sat reading one evening 1 gradually fell asleep and finally I fell into a deep slumber. I saw many strange things and I heard a strange voice. I was wander- ing through channels and caves. I saw lights reflected from precious stones which were embedded in rocks near the walls of the caves. I saw dimly at the end of the longest tunnel a strange character. It was Father Tyme seated upon a rock. I-le seemed lonely and there was no other guest in sight. His eyes were downcast. As I approached him he lifted his aged head- My good friend, whence comest thou, who art thou P I answered him. l know not what I said. O, thou art a member of the Class of 1923 from the Dysart High School. And reasurringly he continued: Ult is a remarkable class and at the present time there are only three members who have come all the way through the grades together. They are Frances Fair- banks, john Huppert, and Lee Heckroth. They started in the fall of 1910. Gladys Stewart joined them in 1913 when they were in the third grade. She had formerly attended school in Atkins, and Cedar Rapids. Another excellent scholar joined your class in I9l5, this being Ida Yost. She was a sweet country lass who always knew her arithmetic lessons for her teacher. Then in 1915 came Maurine Ross, who has been a helping member. She is a girl who enjoys reading and has lent much to her class through her observance of small things. Maurine came to Dysart from Ogden, Iowa, where she had attended the grade school. Martha McCurdy is your West Virginian maiden, who has been a pleasing classmate to you all. She joined your number in 1915. The class was not increased again until 1917 when Lenora Schnell came to town from the country and joined the seventh grade. She is your singer. She has a voice a credit to your class as well as herself. Mabel Albright came from Garrison to Dysart in the same year and became a member of your class. Mabel is a quiet girl, but is always pleasant and has been a good classmate. The year 1918 seemed to be a lucky one, for more excellent scholars joined your class. They were: Minnie Wieben, Henrietta jabens, and Lorena Wetzstein. john Huppert also came back to school this year. john is your farmer boy and is bashful, but I pre- dict that he shall forget that soon. Your Hrst year of High School came quickly and brought to your class four more members: Charles Baird, Dorothy Lee, Helen Messer, and Inez Baker. All are excellent students and your class has a right to boast of them. Your tenth grade was not increased, but rather decreased, for Eldora Lorenzen and Walter Lewis dropped their school work. You were all saddened by the loss of your schoolmate, Mabel Taylor. Your class progressed nicely and now, the junior Class has two more scholars, Dymple Dyal and Lester Thiele. Your class is one on which your teachers can always depend. You have an enviable history. If ever another class like yours is ordained to be graduated from D. H. S. it will be a credit to the school. 'fYour class has been well represented in different contests. An essay contest was won in the eighth grade by a member of your class. Your contestant in declama- tory work won hrst place in the Freshman year. You have been represented in Cilee Club, the Operettas, and in Plays. You can be justly proud of your talent. Go in peace. Tell your class to make the best of the time that is left for your High School days. Suddenly I awoke. lt was all a dream, but how true it all was! Everything had been related to me by Father Tyme.

Ein... ...num El....... ........Ej Qllazs Wnvm CApologies to Longfellowj We are the juniors in high school, the chattering lads and the lassies, Wreathed with smiles and all happy, the joy of the battle before us, We stand like the knighthood of old, with the courage to face what confronts us Courage to tackle all problems, to play the game to the Hnish, Stand with our feet on the threshold, gazing wide-eyed toward the future. We are the juniors in high school who have come with hearts for good virtue, We do that which is best for our interest and our high school, To conquer all problems that challenge the will and the reason, We would be ready to meet them, ready to work with good spirit, Though we are shadowed by knowledge of failures We hope for Well done, at the finish. Witness our mighty young army that demandeth place in your numbers. Witness our strong and our weak ones who all fain would enter the cycle. Ye who believe in the children, believe in our hopes and our promise. List to the tale of our prowess. l speak from the halls of our learning. List to the tale of the juniors who next year will leave the procession. We have the witty and pretty, the brave and ambitious among us. We have Mabel, Lorena, Dorothy, Helen, and Lester, Ida and Charles, Henrietta and Inez, And john and Maurine, Minnie, Frances and Gladys, To say nothing of Martha, Lee, Lenora and Dymple. Our boys have their plans for the future-either clerks, farmers, doctors or all The girls to be teachers and writers, are working away with great skill. And some will use Home Economics, will cook, will sew, or will sweep, To win the heart of some laddie and his little house to keep. We number just eighteen all told, and loyal to old Dysart High, Each ready to back and defend her in her work or nonsensical play. At heart we are all dreaming of great things and striving toward our ideals afar Our feet on the earth safely planted, and our cart safely hitched to a star. GLADYS STEWART. T'wenl,i'-Seven
