30 KERAMOS Theological Seminary, Omaha, Nebraska. We all thought Miss Hallock was more devoted to the interests of our school than to leave us for a Mere measley man. But then you never can tell. On Saturday, April 23, the Senior class had a food sale at Lewis Brothers' furniture store and were much pleased with the results. Some of the articles were made in the domestic science room by some of the girls and our two chefs. But some very kind boys thought that the cake made by our two boy cooks might be dangerous to somebody's health, so they appropriated it to themselves before it had a chance to get cold. Very nice of them, I'm sure. I We' will eventually be leaving our muchly beloved High School days far behind us and pass on into a world which will use us much as we make it, and in leaving these happy days behind we also hope we have left many pleasant memories and accomplished many worthy things which will benefit the younger pupils and which will not let them forget 615 73 dear old . 1916. Even though we are compiling this issue in honor of the Senior class, yet we must not forget to give due honor to the other classes, especially 1916. They have made worthy Juniors to such a class of Seniors. In athletics they carried the championship in everything this year. Even last year at the county meet it was Bucher, a Junior, who won us most points. But there is a versatile bunch of people in that class. In theatricals, Kinsey could not be beaten as a country rector and as Jack Spratt, rather opposite characters, but he was equal to both occasions. QGGQQQQ 1917. The class of 1917 or the present Sophomore class has made a record for itself in many ways. First in football season they sent many men out for the team. These men were rewarded by receiving regular posi- tions on the team. Then in basketball they had one of the fastest teams in the interclass league, making the Juniors hustle to stay in first place. When the Sophomore's turn came to provide the entertainment for the Friday morning literary they staged a small sketch. They showed the classes that they had ability along musical and literary lines as well as along dramatic and athletic lines. ' 1918. The class of 1918 began their history just like any other class of one hundred and ninety merry, laughing green children. All went quietly for awhile. To us they were merely Freshmen and no more, by with vim and originality they have proven themselves worthy of more notice. Not only are they doing credit to their school intellectually but physically as well. Is it not remarkable that a Freshman basketball team should win four games, also be represented upon the High team, that they should make five points in the class meet. In all school activities they have played an important part. Their class was represented fan unusual thingy by four students upon the Washington birthday celebration.

KERAMOS 29 peared and put an end to the strife by abolishing all political parties. So election day for our Keramos staff was equal to any presidential elec- tion ever held as far as excitement was concerned. On October 21 some of the Seniors endeavored to create a reform in styles. The girls wore their hair down and the fellows wore the loudest ties to be found. The reform was a failure, for it was not universally accepted as they hoped it would be. On November 26 Thanksgiving Day was celebrated by various selec- tions. among which was a sketch from The Courtship of Miles Standish. George Wilhelm was well adapted to the part of the sturdy, brusk Miles Standish, while Alice Mays and Demar Miller were equally successful in their representation of Priscilla and John Alden. On December 18 the three upper classes met and rendered a de- lightful Christmas program. The rooms were adorned with Christmas decorations, among which was a chimney. In this chimney some of the fellows put an alarm clock which went off at the thirteenth hour instead of the eleventh, for it went off just about twenty minutes t-oo late. Many Senior parties were held this year, among which was a party at Miss Georgia Leslie's home an January 18. All sorts of amusements were indulged in and one of our dignified Seniors even suffered assault and battery. At last on February 8 our hopes of several years were realized and we obtained our long promised gift-a new high school building. The old saying, everything comes to those who wait, surely proved true and the only complaint we have is that we were given such a short time to enjoy it. Among the many advantages of our new building are do- mestic science and manual training classes. Tubby Griflin and George Wilhelm surely considered the former an advantage, for our domestic science class now boasts of two chefs . We have been making good use of our auditorium by having chapel almost every Friday morning. We can readily appreciate this audito- rium because of our crowded space in the old building. Beginning with the Seniors on Friday, March 19, and continuing on each Friday the four classes conducted chapel. Chapel was opened by a short devotional serv- ice and followed by various selections by members of the class. Pat Farrell and Paul Schreiber astonished everyone by proving themselves star comedians. Yes, Miss Flo had a birthday on March 4. Our domestic science rooms served as the banquet rooms for two dinners given in her honor. Our class presented her with a box of chocolates and she proved herself truly generous, although a little partial by sharing them with only one of the literature classes. On Arbor Day, April 2, having decided to do something commeor- ating the Senior class we planted some ivy for the building and presented to the Junior class a spade which is to be handed down every year to the Junior class. A special committee of the hole prepared the ground and another committee decorated the spade with the Senior colors. We also had a short program in which Minnie Flick, Edith Johnston and Alice Mays reproduced Maeterlinck's Bluebird One of the most startling surprises of the year was the announce- ment of Miss Hallock's engagement to Rev. A. B. Marshall of Omaha

KERAMOS 31 ur New Home OR a great many years the graduating class has been saying: We wg are especially honored because we are the last to go from the old building. Every year the next class is thinking, We shall be the first to enter the new building. But every time they have The New High School Building. been deceived and both honors have been left for the best class, 1915. But then our class is one of distinction, so naturally that one must fall to us, too. Our distinction has sometimes been one of discredit according to some people, but that mostly happened in the old building and of course we have adopted the dignity worthy such a fine dwelling since we have entered it. And, too, our class is the only one left which had part in that can- vassing of the town for votes on the school bond issue and we undoubt- edly did our share, so this great honor is not unmerited. ' But now that we are in this magnificent structure there are a hundred obligations as well as privileges, placed upon us which former classes knew nothing about. We are expected to give entertainments and all sorts of things so that the public may have a chance of seeing our pretty auditorium, of which we are justly proud. There are no such things now as Sophomores standing around the wall in assembly and Freshrneqrivbeingrleft out altogether. To compensate them for such dis- advantages before, we nowgive the Freshmen the front seats, as child-
