The R esume Published By The Falls City High School Kails City, Nebraska to ’5i ph Wm, L trow C lie falls £if y -ScIjooI flffccHouakly 'Bcdk ij c € Ids 'Book FOREWORD For two years the last number of the “Orange and Black has been a larger number and called the “Orange and Black Annual . This year, the annual, “The Resume is entirely separate from the “Orange and Black . It has a different staff and it is not included in the subscription for the Orange and Black. We do not claim this book to be a masterpiece of its kind but trust it will fullfil its purpose — to sum up the year’s work - studies, athletics and music; to give every one connected with school a place in the annual; to instill greater interest in the school for next year; and to be a book to bring back pleasant memories and faces of our school mates after years have rolled by. THE FACULTY THE RESUME 1916 THE FACULTY. Supt. Y. L. Crow, to whom this book is dedicated, is the superintendent of the Falls City schools, lie has been connected with the Falls City schools for tnree years; serving the first year in the capacity of principal of the High School and sponsor of the Class of 1914. and the last two years as superintendent of the Falls City schools, lie is a graduate of the University of Illinois and taught at Ulenarm, Illinois, and Humboldt, Nebraska, before coming here. His work here has been exceedingly successful, and it is with regret that the School Board, the citizens and the pupils see I rim leave. He has been of great moral benefit to the community and city at large, especially has it been most felt and appreciated by the High School pupils. Mr. Crow has given us a splendid illustration of real school honor and class spirit, and his willingness to serve in any and all capacities has been the means of more firmly uniting the individual classes into the one balls, City High School. It may well be said of Mr. Crow that be lives in thought, not years; he most lives who thinks the most, feels the noblest, acts the best. l’rof. ,C. A. Beaver, our present principal, came to us from Broken Bow, Nebraska, where he had taught two years. He graduated front the High School n Red Oak, Iowa, in 1909 and from the University of Nebraska in 1913. While mending the University he taught one and one-half years in the physics department of the Temple High School and one year in the zoology department of the University. He has completed a most successful year as our principal and teacher of physics and chemistry. The classes were enjoyable and at the same time instructive, owing to Mr. Beaver's ingenuity, which has greatly improved the Sophomores, whose class advisor he is. His endless supply of pep has often made us think that it's faith in something and enthusiasm in something that makes life worth looking at.” Miss Ruth lleaeock, stqiervisor of the English department, has been with us three successful short years. She was sponsor for the Class of '17 the first year and of '18 the second. Her interest in her work has always been at the highest pitch, and many interesting features have been brought out that we feel sure would have remained unnoticed had not Miss Heacock been there to bring them to light. She is a graduate of the Falls City High School of whom we may be justly proud and also of the University of Nebraska in 1911. It is with regret that we see her leave, but wish her success in whatever she undertakes. Her gen-,-ral doctrine of loafing on the job as we have heard it is: “Opportunity occasionally meets a man half-way, but she seldom comes after him in an automobile.” Miss Eva Fuller, supervisor of the language department, has also been with us three years. The work in her department has never had a better or a more thorough leader. During the three years of her work here site has been sponsor of the present Senior Class, which naturally influenced her destiny for the better, 'i he German and Latin departments have flourished wonderfully, and no quotation can express her kindly disposition better than “a heart that never hardens and a temper that never tires.” Miss Blanche Markland, our history teacher, is a graduate of the Oregon (Missouri) High School and also of Park College at Parksville, Missouri, in 1912. She taught two years at Castana, Iowa, before coming to us and has been here for two years. Her interest in the school has been a great factor in our success, especially along the line of athletics, as she has been the enthusiastic coach •f the girls’ basket ball team these two years, to which fact much of the credit for their success is due. Miss Markland’s theme supreme and most evident is possibly, “A laugh is worth a hundred groans in any market.” THE RESUME 19)6 THE FACULTY. Miss Bernice l’rickctt, mathematics instructor, is a graduate of the Fairfield (Nebraska) High School and also of the State University. She taught two year, ■it Davenjiort, Nebraska, and one-half year at Sidney, Nebraska, before coining here. She has been with us two years, during which time she has added her share o the enthusiasm of school activities and often brought to mind Shakespeare s Muse not that 1 thus suddenly proceed; For what J will, 1 will, and there's an end. Miss Helen Hanes, instructor of domestic science, is a graduate of the University of Illinois. She has been with us only one year and lias already shown us what a fair sample of Illinois may lie like. She was sponsor for the Junior Class and manager of one of the most successful Junior-Senior banquets in the annals of the High School. The work in the domestic science department, as everywhere else, has met with success and appreciation from outsiders, and she has -jften made us think that to obtain perfection it is not necessary to do singular things, but to do common tilings singularly well. l’rof. L. L. Smith, manual training instructor, is a graduate of the High School at 1 loisingtoii, 'Kansas, and attended the State Agricultural College at Manhattan for three years and a half. He ha, been with us two and one-half years, and during that time acted as football coach and boys gymasium instructor, in addition to his regular work. Mr. Smith has worked unceasingly in supplying •pep” and giving everybody else a dose, generous and invigorating, loo much rredit cannot be given to the work accomplished in this department, for you now— . . One constant element in luck Is genuine, solid, old Teutonic pluck. Mrs. DeWald is a supplementary teacher and has been working with us for the better part of two vears. She has attended High School at Lincoln and is a graduate of 1 lamilton College at Lexington, Kentucky. Besides the excellent Work accomplished in the classroom, Mrs. DeWald has given us the pleasure of hearing many readings of the best books and authors. No convocation period has lieen spent more enjoyable than in listening to Mrs. DeWald. “Then read from the treasured volume The poem of thy choice. And lend to the rhyme of the poet The beauty of thy voice. Miss Ethel Rough, commercial teacher, is a graduate of Weeping Water Academy and Doane College. She has been in our school only one year, l he commercial department is new in the school and Miss Rough, though laboring under this difficulty, has set a standard in this department which cannot easily be surpassed. Many students feel they have laid one stone in the foundation of their business career which really counts and have truly learned from Miss Rough through “preaching and example” that “an intense hour will do more than dreamy years.” Miss Helen Mattison, teacher of music, is a graduate of Rockwell City High School in Iowa and of Thomas Normal 1 raining School in Illinois. She lias organized and drilled two very successful glee clubs—one boys’ and one girls’—and also the High School Orchestra. These three departments have appeared on various programs and too much cannot be said of Miss Mattison’s faithful and efficient work. It embodies the truth that— “Music resembles poetry; in each And which a master hand alone can reach.” THE RESUME 1916 THE STAFF Editor-In-Chief Wilma Russ Assistant Editor Ruth Lichty Business Manager Thomas Hargrave Assistant Business Manager Elva Cox Subscription Manager Given Spragins Assistant Subscription Manager Wallace Abbey Senior Editor Esther Abbey Junior Editor Suzaine Brecht Sophomore Editor Fern Falloon Freshman Editor Halcyon Whitford Girl’s Athletic Editor Elizabeth Gist Boy’s Athletic Editor Lester Kister Joke Editor Dessie McCleary THE RESUME 1916 THE SENIORS 1916 Alan Gilmore', “Curly.” Senior Play. “To be swift is less than to be wise.” Albert Weinert, “Al.” “Our trusty friend unless 1 be deceived.” Florence Lyford, “Sis.” President Girls’ Athletic Association Senior year.

The history of our Cla s begins in the autumn of 1912. for we consider history before this time as ancient. When the people of that time gathered together they found their little hand to number sixty-five. We were typical Freshmen and everything seemed new to 11s. The first week was spent largely getting into the wrong classes and staying a half period or so before di covering the mistake. We soon found by our keen observation that in order to progress we must organize and choose from among us those that could lead 11s succe sfully in this new life. As it was a new life we were entering in, much depended on the selection of these leaders, and if we had been students of theosophy we would have blamed it on this for our wise choice and forethought in electing for our pre idem Mabel Crush; vice president, Charles Miller, and secretary-treasurer. Madeliene Dillie. The teachers and School Board, together with the Class of 1915. decided that we were too brilliant to be initiated into the mysteries of High School, so we escaped the much-dreaded Freshman reception. The first place where we displayed our brilliance in public was at the semester jubilee. Each class pulled off a stunt and ours showed up well among the rest. The following September we again took up our work as Sophomores. Our number had decreased some, but the spirit of the Class was the same. With more experience and knowledge of High School life, we at once organized and elect' d for president Charles Miller: vice-president, Audrey Marion; secretary-treasurer. Mildred Harris. Audrey took the position as president for the last half of the school year, as our president quit school for a time. THE RESUME 1916 This was Miss Fuller's first year in our school, and we had the privilege of having her for our class advisor. Miss Fuller was a great help to us as Sepho-mores in helping execute our plans. While Sophomores we gave the Senior Class of 1914 a picnic breakfast. We went to a little grove near the Muddy Mill, and at nine o’clock served to the most honorable Seniors and faculty a most delightful breakfast. The Seniors got quite an elevated opinion of 11s and we suppose that they thought of us as being next to them in ability to entertain. During tbe course of the year two of our members were taken from us through death. They were Douglas Ticknor and Blythe Shaffer Hillyard. The loss of these two members was keenly felt by the rest of the Class. The Junior year our Class numbered twenty-nine, and officers were: President, Arthur Yort; vice-president, Ethel Pearson; secretary, Flora Ticknor, and tieasurer, Joe Gagnon. Our representative of tbe Board of Control for the “Orange and Black was Wilma Russ. In athletics Arthur Yort was captain of the football team and Joe Gagnon and Alfred Brecht were both members of it. Art also represented us in track. Two of our girls, Flora Ticknor and Audrey Marion, were on the girls’ first team. 1 he Junior-Senior banquet was given at the High School gymnasium. The gymnasium was elaborately decorated and neither time nor money was spared to make this last social function of the two classes an enjoyable one. One of the most interesting features of the evening were the toasts given at the close of the banquet by the faculty and different students. The fall of 1916 found 11s almost unexpectedly dignified Seniors. The Class officers were: Arthur Yort, president; Bayard Clark, vice-president; Flora Ticknor, secretary, and Joe Gagnon, treasurer. I11 athletics we were represented by Arthur Yort and Joe Gagnon in football. Mora Ticknor, Wilma Russ and Audrey Marion played on tbe basket ball team, which won the Southea.-tern Nebraska championship. (Jur first social function was a weenie roast. The Junior Class joined us mid we all went to the park and bail a very jolly time roasting weenies and marshmallows. Some time later we had a party at the home of Wilma Russ. We also have enjoyed a tacky party given on April Fool’s night bv Myrle Naylor and Wilma Russ. In fact, this year has been full of social functions and we have enjoyed it more than all the others. We hope that we have set some good examples for the other classes to follow and that your High School life will be as full of pleasures and profit as ours has been. E. P., T6. THE RESUME 1916 Wm.dorf-Astokia. New York, May 24, 1926. My Dear Edna: I know I have delayed writing to you for some time, but I know with all your senatorial duties you would hardly miss my little scrawl. Did you get that bill passed you were so desirous of getting through? Haven’t seen anything about it in the papers yet. but resting on past experience I'm sure that the rest of the senators might as well give in first as last! I keep congratulating myself daily on being a native of Nebraska and therefore capable of laying some claim to so famous and dignified a senator as our Edna. Who would have thought ten years ago tonight that you'd ever settle down to such a performance? Certainly not I! Just think, it was just ten years ago tonight that we graduated! Weren't we fluttered and do you remember bow afraid we were that Wilma wouldn't get there—but she did, at the eleventh hour, as usual, if you remember! And wasn’t it funny the way Audrey forgot to stand up when they called off her name, and 1 ain't we feel about ten times as big as the faculty and the School Hoard and all |.f our ancestors back to Grandpa Adam! Don't worry, my mind’s not wandering, but there’s method in my madness! Kindly kxik back at the beginning of this epi tie and notice where I’m staying. Hope you're fully impressed and know that a poor teacher of this day and age can't corner the Waldorf-Astoria as a private enterprise. Do you know who’s the proprietor of this? I thought not! Well, nobody more or less than our old friend, Wilma Russ! We've been having one grand, good time since we ran into and onto each other about six hours ago. It is now 1 45 1-2 a. m.. but I’m not the least bit � leepv and just must tell you all about it! Came to New 'll irk for the express reason of wanting to and having a little vacation from my duties as Latin professor at Yassar, and arrived in all this burg about 7:32.2 o'clock this morning. Wandered around in the stores till noon, when passing a Fifth avenue entrance I noticed the following sign: o-----------------------------------------------------------o M A DEM () ISE LEE CHAR EL( )TTE A BLA NI )I ). C X( i Artiste ok Fiiotooraphy EXCLUSIVE PRICES REFERENCES REQUIRED O-----------------------------------------------------------o Thought that name sounded familiar, so perambulated in. It took one elevator. thirty servants (French maids, I afterward understood—though when they get mad they sound suspiciously Irish), some American slang and ten awful glares to persuade those stumps that I thought I knew Mademoiselle Blandingo and I was going to find out without paying any admission, either! Then Charleotta came to the rescue herself—the same old Charleotta in spite of a French friz and a languid air. Didn’t know her at first, but she knew me and if you can imagine your pet kitten suddenly shouting. “Down, demagogues and sinners! Run up the banner of liberty!” you’ll have an idea how it sounded to hear Charleotta suddenly proclaim. “Hello, old scout—where did you drop from! Guess the rest! Those French (?) maids were still in a state of collapse when we left at 4:15. Yes. we, for Wilma came in here. She had to come up for a photograph the evening paper wanted of her. It seems this popularity stunt is getting monotonous to the ladv. Just think, your picture taken eighteen times a year for the paper! THE RESUME 1916 (I’d substitute one of my youngest grandchild!) The paper went without the picture, but between us we’ve routed all of our old classmates out. You know that song everybody’s crazy about now—“The Alligator on the Park Bench —well, the author is none other than Stella Gatz. She i- writing hymns by the thousand and the last one had to have the third edition before enough copies could be.secured. They say that one was sung before the English Parliament this spring and the members wept so copiously that the Woman's Suffrage Bill was passed due to that only. Her songs are moving sinners to repentance and stone images to tears. Albert Weinert is a Civil Service Commissioner and is on the San Francisco-New York Aereoplane Line, and distributes the mail along the way when there is any. (For my part, the wireless telephone seems.to l e the most convenient.) They say he has only had two wrecks in his life, and both of these caught on skyscrapers in Chicago, so it could have been worse. Louise Daeschner is doing marvelous scientific experiments in Germany, and they say that the things that institution turns out is marvelous. She is an equal rival of Theoptiuxilansiscion in Mars. The last great invention. 1 believe, is a fireless heating apparatus bv which there is continual summer at the North Pole. They are at present attempting to hold the Northern Lights in place by a system of levers and pulleys, and when that is accomplished they intend to charge ten cents admission and display them as a relic. Talking alxnit the North Pole—that great social reformer up there they’re giving such a blow about is none other than our long-lost Class advisor. Miss Fuller, even if she does go by the name of Mrs. Paderwskividerplexidel. They say she has invented a new language and the natives are all highly civilized because of her work—so much so that the last Ford they sent up there didn t even give them the nervous chills. And the editor of that paper that tells us all about her is none other than our old Class president, Arthur Yort. The paper has a circulation of 4,532,995 daily and is read on all Continents lwfore the ink is dry. He has reporters on every land and takes the news by the newest system of mental telepathy—retires to the top of his office building, which is seventy-five stories high, and takes the messages from 11:25 p. m. to 3 :io a. m. and communicates the news to his sub-editors by a system of electric buttons. Was very glad to hear of Matilda Matthews again. And so she is Chief Justice of the Supreme Court! Strange I hadn’t heard of it, but accidents will happen! That judgment she gave in the case of Sears Roebuck against Ed Fisher for maliciously writing poetry about its notoriety seems to be causing quite a stir. I confess poetry does seem almost a relic of the Dark Ages, and yet it seems to me we did use to have to study some in the old F. C. 11. S. days—wasn't it by Daniel somebody—Webster or Shakespeare or something of the sort? Matilda always did show promise of great things, but it seems to me she must have missed her calling—wouldn’t she have been a good deal better fitted for a barber? When you mentioned Ed Fisher writing poetry T hunted him up. Sure enough, he is in New York in a little old office this side of Brooklyn. Bridge. His sign reads: o---------------------------------------—-------------------—o EDWARDO FISCERIO, A. B. C.. R. F. D. Studied under the Honorable C. A. Beeavario. A. M. o ■o THE RESUME 1916 He (that is, Eel) is tall and lean and wears his hair in long curls down around his shoulders—very nearly scared me out of ten years’ growth! Poor fellow, he looked so hollow-eyed and as though the weight of the world rested on his shoulders! It’s no wonder! He’s been reading the dictionary for eight weeks, trying to find a word to rhyme with Nebbuchhadnezar. His poem is entitled, “The Elements of Sicology,” and starts out: “Under the spreading chestnut tree. Hill Bryan discoursed with Xebbuchhadnezar.” And so Mabel Crush is manager for Scars Roebuck! No wonder they are prospering so! How in the world did she ever come to choose such a profession —but then a salary of $500,000 a year docs look enticing. I’m glad you had such a good visit with her and don't doubt a bit that when Mabel orders “they all run like it was the tocsin and the establishment was being called to dinner bv fire and blood. I hey had heard about that great sale she was putting on sugar and •afetypins in New York, and several hundred are waiting now for the next aeroplane ascension so that they can go after bargains. Arthur Weinert is an expert farmer in Colorado. His ranch covers nine hundred acres and lie's taking all the first prizes on zebras and spotted elephants. He has so many inhabitants on his ranch that they edit a newspaper in order to keep n touch with each other. One man fell off a barrel the other day and the following interesting item appeared: “John Jones fell off a barrel while scrubbing elephant No. 37 and broke his shoulder and seven of the Commandments.” Arthur seems to be quite an influential citizen, and they say he will run for governor of the municipality of Strausville, Nebraska, at the next election by special request. Myrle Naylor is teaching German exclusively at Harvard, and she is liked so well that she was asked to take out a life certificate the other day. She knows German so well she can hardly discourse in any other language, and she has lately translated the last edition of the Katzenjammer Kids into German, for the benefit of the Kaiser, who thinks Mrytle is the Only and has twice offered her his heart and his kingdom, but she has been too busy to accept—one time she had an engagement at an afternoon tea and the other time one with her hairdresser. Ethel Pearson is an author. She has written several treatise on the immortality of the soul, but most of her works are on the care of snails. She is married to a Lord someliody-or-otber in England ( Daddleskinks or Snoodlecoop—can’t just remember), but she always comes over here on Tuesdays and Saturdays to do her shopping and marketing, as she says England’s cauliflower has never been able to acquire so near the taste of American cabbage as the kind she gets at Wanamaker's. have Hanna is painting those marvelous pictures that are taking our breath away. Titian and Turner belong to the Dark Ages aside of Faye. That last great picture of hers entitled. Ancient of Days, which is a view of Barada. with one of those old-fashioned Jersey cows and a daisy in the foreground, certainly does charm the soul and turn one to rapturous contemplations. I've never found anything yet that made me want a pair of blue sjtectacles and a glass of water so scon. Flora Ticknor is also running a hotel—none other than the deaf old “Yellow Dog at Falls City. She is apparently enjoying life, health and the pursuit of THE RESUME 1916 happiness to the fullest extent, though I regret to say that the hotel is not quite as prosperous as it was in 1916. Of course this is to he expected, since the end of all important things ceased then! 1 hey say one hoarder has been there a week and has had two sets of false teeth in the meanwhile. The eats there have never been equalled elsewhere—for which let us give thanks! Paul Fredrick is a rising lawyer in California. He can spin more yarns in ten minutes than a reporter can copy in ten days, and naturally wins all of his cases. He convinced the judge the other day that the defendant was not responsible for stealing the plaintiff's overcoat because the clock had stopped, and if the clock had stopped time had stopped. Therefore, if time had stopped, it would not start again until the clock started, and therefore the plaintiff should have been in bed at twelve o’clock (the time when the clock stopped) and not prowling around till four hours later if four o'clock was the time he arose, because there was a vaccum from twelve to four. Don't know whether you catch the drift or not. Think the judge must have been as mixed as anybody, and it rather looks like Paul ‘■fell into the common errors of exaggerating declamation by producing in a familiar disquisition examples of national calamities. etc. How’s that tor quoting our senator? Nina Sluihert is successfully engaged in bee-raising at Rulo. She has the magnificent sum of two hives of bees, which turn out three pounds of honey each early, and Nina is thinking of retiring from active business soon and settling down to spend her wealth, in the best possible manner. When not engaged in bee culture and the doctoring of bee stings she does landscape—1 mean escape gardening, for every one runs at first sight—it is so beautiful, you know. The general composition is cucumbers, red beets, carrots and horseradish. e always did sav Nina would be famous some day! Was so glad to hear of Iva Woods' success as librarian at Washington Am very sorry she thought Robinson Crusoe wrote The Merchant of Venice.” hut that could be worse. It must lie interesting to see Iva behind a desk with thirty ledgers around her. Are you always able to find her when you want her, or do you have to stop and weed out the ledgers? Iwona Wickham is Street Commissioner in Chicago, and any one who brings dust from their domicilium out on the street sure catches it! A banana peel in the alley is an unheard-of thing and all the street cleaners are dressed in white kakhi and run around in private aeroplanes above the city, dropping peppered sponges on all suspicious characters. Florence Lyford has not been seen in this country for some time. She is writing a history of the world and is roaming around in Greece and Egypt, hunting old skulls and seeing visions. Her history (that is. the one she is writing) will start at 600 B. C. and close at 1916, since 1916 was the culmination of the height of civilization—the graduation of our illustrious Class! It is thought she will soon come back to civilization, settle down in a brown-stone mansion on Thirty-sixth street in Falls City and with the assistance of a pet cat and a parrot, serve tea to callers and show them what sweet old maidhood is like. Helen Kottman surely has a wide sphere of activity. She is peddling folding fireless cookers and is distributing agent for the 'Journal,” which has a circulation of 500,000. Her winning manner is bringing her employers great profits and tireless cookers are once more on the boom. She always gives practical demon- THE RESUME 1916 strations, especially around meal times and at hotels, and saves her company the cost of many hotel hills. It is said that practical demonstrations will soon be given to a school of one—who nor when, nobody knows. We were quite interested to know how popular Bayard Clark is as speaker of the House of Representatives. That new idea of his of having three hours’ adjournment for dinner sounds quite natural—in fact, you would not have needed to label who presented the bill. So he is getting bald already? Well, that’s too bad. but nevertheless to be expected. Bayard always did look like the world and all that is thereon rested on his shoulders. Yes. 1 had heard of Syble Bower's fame. It seems to me that every hat that goes down Fifth avenue has the Bowears label on it. and nobody seems to lie satisfied with their Raster bonnet unless it comes from Mademoiselle Bowears-Sybilla. I’aris-American Milliner Shop: and to think that she personally designs each one of those marvelous creations! Wilma has one! It is a brilliant pink Mexican straw, with a band of green wax leaves around the crown and one of the tail feathers of Mademoiseli’s pet rooster stuck straight up in front, with a glaring red tip (headlight)! Joe Gagnon certainly is some person—I mean he thinks he is! So he is the President's valet and all he does is to wear a stiff hat and a high “collah,” put on a melancholy air and say, The President has just left for his afternoon siesta to detemine the improvement of his health.” He is quite literary, too. He published an article lately on how to distinguish cows from weeds, and I'm sure nothing could be more instructive and contain so much food for thought! Audrey Marion and Hildred Harris are working together in Italy. Audrey, they say, is a second Schuniann-Heink, and Hildred leaves Paderwiski in the shade. They are traveling alone and make from $5,000 to $50,000 a night. The audiences are held spellbound and they say Audrey’s rendition of “Yankee Poodilio” and Tipperario are the best things that have ever appeared on the Italian stage. Mildred has lately composed a sonata entitled, “The Senior's Pep and the Italians think she is talking about some kind of a constellation, scintillating above the terrestial sphere, and all but grovel at her feet. Ruby Caskey is matron of the Insane Asylum at Beatrice and they say the inmates are brightening visibly. She has uplifted them so that they are now capable of planting spring onions and reading out of the First Reader. Ruby has worked on their imaginations until they think she is first cousin to George Washington and wife of the President of the United States. They don’t know what those are. but imagine they are some kind of gods, and Ruby rules their destinies. Zelma Moss is teaching trigonometry and civics in Central Africa, and spends her spare time cruising around after the Sixth Continent and the fourth dimension. When last heard from she was attempting to establish a domestic science department and teach the natives how to make bread. The first attempt proved disastrous, for they got mad at each other and one man got his skull severely cracked by a well aimed biscuit and a pet monkey of somebody’s was killed instantly. It was the talk of Parrotville for six weeks, and some of the natives were so petrified that they still stand as landmarks to enterprising adventurers. Myrtle Dodds is surveying for a Philadelphia construction company. She has planned the reconstruction of the Great Lakes and the rebuilding of Niagara l'alls. and is at pre.ent planning a viaduct across the Atlantic Ocean, so that next THE RESUME 1916 time the little Dutschers get obnoxious we who don't own private aeroplanes can walk over and see the performance. Alma Mosiman is practising her M. 1). in New York. She is a veterinary surgeon, and her skill in substituting rubber teeth in horses' mouths so that they won't have to eat predigested oats, is marvelous. Also the way she teaches lame clogs to use crutches and blind cats to use monocles is making scientists sit up and take notice. She is working now on the “F.lixir of Youth, which for every spoonful you take brings back ten years of your life! 1 bid for the first spoonful —for one hour tonight! Arthur Chesley and Esther Abbey are starring and starving by spells and bounds at some kind of a theater or other here. We went to see them tonight—I mean last night! Esther surely beats Julia Marlowe all hollow, and as for Soth-ern—well, he wouldn't get anywhere aside of Arthur! They were acting tonight in a drama entitled. “Blue-Jay Corn Blaster—Always the Best. There's a Reason. It was quite interesting and the audience shed tears of real grief. Who would have thought in the Senior play in 1916 that the parts they took could influence their destiny—but it has! The play has materialized above all our hopes and nothing could be more appropriate—unless it would be vaseline on hair cuts! While we were there who do you suppose we met? Well, nobody more ot less than Alan Gilmore! He was in New York on business, being janitor of the High School at Falls City now! He used to be governor of Nebraska, but Alan always did aspire to higher things, and it takes him to do it up in style! Boot man, by the look in his eye you can tell that the pride of his life is gone—he has lost the curl to his hair! He was out to dinner not long ago and the'waiter spilled some hot soup on his head. It made him so mad his hair stood on end and hasn’t returned to normal yet! It is getting a little late.—1 mean early.—so I bid you adieu with a toast to by far the greatest, grandest and most illustrious Class that ever graced the halls of the Falls City High School—the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Sixteen! R. L. T6. LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF THE SENIOR CLASS. F. C. H. S.. NEBRASKA. We, the Senior Class of the Falls City High School.

THE RESUME 1916 Like all other stories, this one begins with “once upon a time. but that is the only similarity we can give between this story and others of its nature. “We claim to be one of the best classes that ever entered the F. C. H. S.. and hope that others have an equally as good opinion of us. In September. 1913. we entered the Freshman Class with fifty-nine strong members. Now, probably some of our schoolmates claim to have lx1 longed to a larger fold, but remember “quality, not quantity,” is what counts. This first year we found out many new things aside from getting the greenness worn off. But with all our woes and troubles, we progressed rapidly. Miss Ileacock was our Class advisor and Ruth Lichty our president, and naturally with two such capable people at the head of things the Freshman Class was never behind the times. One of the most memorable events of this year was a masquerade given on Valentine's Day at the home of Thelma Roberts. It was surprising how suddenly some of u had gone back to childhood days; others had turned gray in a few hours. But it was none of these our upper classmates wished to capture—their attentions were centered on a handsome young bridegroom who would undoubtedly have made some of our dignified Senior girls’ hearts go pit-a-pat. And as memory recalls this young gentleman was Jack Reavis. Our Sophomore year, if possible, was even more eventful. Though we had lost many of our members, we were pleased to see new faces among our lot. This year was in a way another “new beginning,” as we were located in the new building. where everything was new and different. Our surroundings greatly encouraged us to work harder and show what we really were. This second year we had Miss Markland for Class advisor and Lucia Griffin president. There were mam-new activities which hitherto had not been developed. The Sophs were well represented in all of these. Then there were several picnics, which when mentioned bring many pleasant memories. We have just finished a year over which the retraining few of 11s have struggled hard, but have come out with a victory which was worth while. We have had a number of social functions this year, the first of which was a farewell surprise party for Jack Reavis, who went with his parents to Washington. I). C. We have missed Jack from our classroom as well as social gatherings, and hope he may return to graduate with us next spring. Probably tire most important event was the coming out of the Junior Class pins. Xo one can deny that they show good taste, at least some of the Seniors and Sophs seem to think so, the way thev wear them where every one will take notice. But, of course, our Junior-Senior banquet outshines all these minor events. We have Miss Hanes, our Class advisor, and Lester Kister, our president, to thank, for so faithfully working and planning, thus making it a success. THE RESUME 1916 JUNIOR NOTES. And here is to the F. C. H. S. Class of ’17 and the faculty—health, wealth and happiness! Juniors, here is one last plea: Though we are departing for a third summer's vacation, remember that after that glorious three months’ rest it will take only nine more months to finish our High School course. So think this over and rome back next fall stronger than ever not only in body and mind but in numbers. Try to encourage others to come and finish their last year with 11s. Since we have entered High School our ranks have decreased a little more each year. Now let us try to avoid this. May the Senior Class of 1917 be the largest that has ever graduated from the Falls City High School. We are sorry to have lost Ruth Lichty from our Class, and realize what we have added to the Senior Class, who we think have their share of dignified students without taking any of the Juniors. We will miss Ruth next year, but are glad to see her make the four-year course in three, and wish her success in whatever work she may take up. This second semester we have added to our list a number of new Juniors. These folks have enough credits to make High School in three years, and we are •dad to add to our list the names of Tophy Weinert. Edna Karst. Nellie Moss and Nellie Lee Holt. SUZAINE BRECH f, 17. JUNIOR-SENK )R BANQUET. One of the prettiest banquets ever given by a Junior Class was extended to the Senior Class of 1916 Saturday night. May 6. in the High School gymnasium. On arriving at the building the Seniors were met by several of the Junior girls, who ushered them into one of the rooms on the first floor. They then took tnem out into the hall, which was very prettily decorated. Rocking chairs and small rugs were placed about the hall, which made it look cozy and home-like. Pennants and plants were used in abundance, which also added to its beauty. The gymnasium itself was transformed into a very beautiful room. 1 he Juniors surely showed their artistic skill in all their arrangements. The color scheme was blue and white, and green and white, which are the Class colors of the Junior and Senior Classes, respectively. The ceiling was divided into two parts and both of these made into a canopy, one of green and white crepe paper, and one of blue and white crepe paper. The gymnasium steps on the west side were separated from the main floor bv a screen of crepe paper streamers, which were hung from the ceiling to the floor. Pennants of all kinds bedecked the walls. Small rugs and plants were also used in great numbers. The tables were arranged in U shape. White roses and carnations were the main table decorations. The menu cards were made out of blue and white paper and were fastened together by little white cords. The dinner was served in five courses and consisted of fruit cocktail, fric-casied chicken, mashed potatoes. |x a patties, radishes, buns, olives and picklo. pineapple ice, salad, vegetables and wafes, ice cream, cake, mints and coffee. The following girls waited on table: Helen Tanner. Maude Reese. Helen Wheeler. Helen Bassett. Ruth Crampton, Glenna Griffin. Geneva Rough. Bernice Mason and Dorothy Miner. Prof. C. A. Beaver acted as toastmaster and in his jolly way called on the following people for toasts: Lester Kister. “The Class of 1916 : Arthur Yort, The Class of 1917 : Vera Brown, Class Frolics : Supt. V. L. Crow. '‘Commencement ; Esther Abbey, ‘‘School Friendship,” and Mr. Lichty, “The Goal. Mr. Groves, the superintendent-elect of the Falls City school for next year, was present and was also called on for a speech. THE RESUME 1916 JUNIOR NOTES.

Washington, 1). C., Tuesday, May 2. tyt6. Dear Suzaine: 1 thought at first that 1 couldn't get around to write a letter for the Annual, but 1 remembered how hard it was to get material for the Orange and l’.lack” when I was Class editor, and so I will write sometl ing concerning the school I am attending. I am going to the Central High School, which is one of the five High Schools of Washington. It is quite a jump to go from a High School of two hundred and fifty into one of two thousand. It was very strange and new at.first, but I like it very much now. 1 remember that 1 wandered all over the building looking for my classrooms the first two or three days, and succeeded in getting lost a number of times. Instead of going by years 1 ere. as we do at home, everything is done by semesters. Each semester is divided into a number of sections and each section is given a section room. For instance, my section is Kb and my section room is room 47. When you sign a paper you are supposed to give your name, initials, and your section. You are supposed to rejxirt at your section room in the morning and at noon, and to rqxirt to all your classes. These are the only instructions placed on you. During your vacant periods you can either go to a study hall or to the iibrary and read. About three times a w-eek we have chapel, which comes the first thing in the morning. One doesn't realize the size of the school until you see all the pupils collected in one room. The principal always starts chapel by reading a verse from the Bible: the school then repeats the Lord's Prayer: the chapel is then turned over to the persons who are to perform. These people are almost always old Central graduates. After chapeil you go to your four morning classes, getting out for a twenty-minute lunch period about half-past twelve. The only way that you can go home at noon is by getting an excuse from the principal, and he gives these excuses only when absolutely necessary. After this lunch period you return to your two afternoon classes, school being dismissed about 3:15- Miis constitutes the ordinary day. The scholastic standards are very high here. You must be carrying four major and two minor studies alxive seventy-five to be eligible for athletics, and you must have 160 points to graduate, instead of 150. You also have much less hook work here and more outside work, such as preparing debates, papers, briefs, etc. In athletics the standard is equally as high. You have to be a star to get on any of the teams. We have a coach for each team and they are all very good, being among the highest paid instructors in the High School. I hey give letters 1 ere instead of sweaters. Letters are given for football, basket ball, baseball, track, tennis, swimming and to the rifle team. Next year we get into a new building, which is supposed to be the finest in the world. The grounds cover four square blocks, the school covering three and the athletic field and cement stadium another. It is equipped for three thousand students and will probably have this many next year. It contains $150,000 worth of movable equipment; this includes a pipe organ for the chapel hall and equipment for the two gymnasiums, swimming pools, laboratories and all other rooms. Next vear Central will be the High School of Washington. Sincerely yours, JACK REAVIS. THE RESUME 1916 THE RESUME 1916 SOPHOMORES. Again we record the activities of the illustrious Class of 1918. A better C lass never sojourned in the halls of the Falls City High School. Ever active in all phases of school life, enthusiastic for the good of the school and loyal to one another—all these have made this Class the criterion of the Classes. In its Freshman year the Class had several social functions which were thoroughly enjoyed by the members. During the football season of 1914 the Class had several members who won their letters and thus reflected credit on the Class as well as themselves. Then during the basket ball season of 1914-15 the Freshmen boys defeated the Sophomores and the girls' team did some excellent playing. In the field meet of that year the Freshmen boys won second place. The Class also took a prominent part in debate and literary programs. The enthusiasm of the Class of 1918 was contagious and spread rapidly to the other Classes. Last September the Sophomores decided to give a reception to the Freshmen and it was a great success. Many of the numbers created merriment among those privileged to attend and the Freshmen were so well initiated into I ligh School life that some were afraid to speak for weeks afterwards. All had a good time, although the Freshmen probably left the building wiser people. During our Freshman year Miss Heacock was our guiding hand, while during the past year Mr. Beaver has been our advisor. YVe all like him and have profited by his advice. He is loyal to the Class and mindful of our welfare. Other social functions, such as weenie roasts, sleigh rides, and especially the one which wound up at the home of Dearie Baker, have been thoroughly enjoyed. The Class will not soon forget the good time had at the home of John Holt at the St. Patrick’s Day party. A few of the other school members thought the Class might eat too much, and so kindly but quietly removed and appropriated to themselves the refreshments. But even the loss of the ever welcome ‘‘eats at ■ Class party did not spoil our good time. It only made it more memorable. In football this year the boys renewed their efforts and again won their Utters. I11 basket ball the boys did their part and quite a few girls played on the second team. The Class has the largest number of hoys out for track work, and based on the result last year they should win the meet. Some of the members of our Class have been kind to the Freshmen. This kindness was manifested by taking them upon long rides in the country, where they were given the pleasure of their own company on the return journey. A few of the members have moved to other places, and while the Class was sorry to see them go. it knows they are doing their part in the communitv in which they live and transfusing the Sophomore spirit in that locality. The Clas-also was glad to welcome several new members. The officers this year are: President. Kern Falloon; vice-president. Henrv Bassett, and secretary-treasurer, Ernest Frcslie. The Class is large, but not too large, and next year all should he back. The next two years are important in the Class career, and all should lie 011 hand to do their part. The Class bids farewell to the Seniors, and may they all be leaders in the various callings they have chosen and ever mindful that the eye of F. C. 11. S. is upon them! To the other Classes and faculty, the Class expects to see you back next year. The memliers of the faculty who are not coming back have the best wishes of the Sophs. FERN F. 1 THE RESUME 1916 SENIOR PLAY. The Senior play, Six Sharps, One Flat,” was given at the Gehling May 2. It is the story of six sharp girls living in one small flat. The six girls were Katherine Kimberlain, Mabel Grush; Polly Perkins, Mildred Harris; Mabel Maitland, Wilma Russ; Dorothy Dean. Florence Lyford; Joyce Jocelyn, Ethel Pearson: Margaret Merrill, Esther Abbey. The first act took place in the morning, opening with a breakfast scene. After breakfast. Marno, the stenographer, left for town to apply for position. Soon after she left Mrs. Strauss, represented by Edna Stabler, and her daughter, Clarissv Eldory (Myrle Naylor) came to see Miss Perkins about giving music lessons to Clarissv. Mrs. Strauss was a rustic and her attire and talk, together with Clarissy’s actions, brought down the house. Soon after their departure Polly left for the city, after telling the girls that she was expecting a caller, a young man, whom she did not want to see. The girls promised to freeze him. Just before Polly left she brought in the mail. Mabel had a letter asking her to give a reading or two at a social function, and Kit received a check for her last storv that she sent in. The girls determined to have a good dinner once again, and the act closed with Kit's departure for town. The first of the second act introduced Mr. Fitz, the book agent, in the person of Wesley Delaney. Mr. Fitz had a very wonderful book, indeed. After Mr. Fitz left a caller for Miss Perkins came and was disappointed in not seeing her. While there the janitor, Dennis (Ed Fisher), tried to put him out. thinking him a book agent, but the mistake was corrected. Then Mabel gave her readings in order to get in trim. Mr. Morris ( Paul Frederick), Polly's caller, came again, and just after he left Marno returned home with the news that she was engaged to be married in two days to Fred Albright (Arthur Chesley-, who had just returned from Europe. The girls were very much surprised, but offered to lend her gloves, etc., for the wedding. Joyce made a pun and the girls pushed her out of the door and right into Mr. Dare (Bayard Clark), who was looking for his sister's flat. Joyce is confused and Marno comes to her rescue. In the third act Mr. Morris calls for the third time and waits a short time, but Polly doesn't come. When he is gone Dot sings two songs which she is to sing for her professor the next day. After she has finished Mrs. Harding (Nina Shubert) brings her brother. Mr. Dare, to be introduced in due form. They find I red Allbright already on the scene, and all are enjoying themselves when the 1 nglishman. Cholly Chumeleigh, “don't you know” (Joe Gagnon), comes to call. After a few minutes they ask Cholly to be seated, which he does, but, alas, the chair breaks down with him. causing much merriment on the part of the others in the room. As Fred and Mr. Dare try to help him up the curtain falls. In the beginning of the fourth act they are decorating for the wedding. While they arc doing this Mr. Morris comes for the fourth time. Polly is then in and is very glad to see him. Kit is mortified to think that she had told Mr. Morris he was not the right one. for Mr. Morris and Polly were engaged. The curtain falls and rises again for the wedding tableaux. The bride and groom, each preceded oy two flower girls, advance from opposite sides of the room, go down the center and turn. Then the minister (Alan Gilmore) raises his hands for silence. The curtain falls, raising again immediately, to show the bride and groom kneeling with the minister's hands spread in benediction. THE RESUME 1916 FRESHMEN CLASS OF 1919. We have very little Class history as yet. but we are making it, so by the time we are Alumni we will be looked upon as a model Class. September 6th about seventy Freshmen, bright, because of inclemency oi the weather, came to registration and tried to figure out the puzzle posted upon the bulletin board. But by the aid of our many friends and our own capability we managed to live through the first week. O11 September 15th we had our first Class meeting. The following officers were elected: Yertic Harper, president; Halcyon Whitford. vice-president; Maude Reese, secretary and treasurer, and W allace Abbey our representative for the Board of Control of the “Orange and Black.” At the second Class meeting our Class colors, purple and white, were chosen. Soon after we accepted the welcome invitation to the Sophomore reception. All arrived safely at the reception, even some who were taken for a ride around the block by some kind Seniors. We received many pointers for our reception next year, and departed only hoping that we might equal the hospitality of Fern's generals and lieutenants. We gave the Sophs a weenie roast later in the fall at the north school grounds. Despite the fact that the faculty arrived almost too late, all seemed to have a jolly good time. Monday evening. February 14th, our one and only sleigh ride occurred. It was followed by refreshments served in the parlors of the domestic science department. Miss Rough and Miss Maddox proved themselves the best kind of chaperons. All, with the exception of Wallace. Carl. Charles and Glenn, presented themselves in the gym for our April Fool party the evening of March 31st. They found themselves near the metropolis of Salem, and they managed to work tip quite an appetite coming home, as we learned when they reached the High School about ten o’clock. We have taken very little part in athletics this year, but that isn’t saying we won't next year. In the Class games both boys and girls were defeated by the Sophomores. Dewey Hoy played substitute on both the boys' football team and basket ball team, and Maude Reese subbed on the girls’ basket ball team We have been very fortunate this year in having Miss Rough for our Class advisor. We only hope we shall fare half as well next year. HALCYON WIHTFORD. THE RESUME 1916 BOY’S GLEE CLUB GIRL'S GLEE CLUB THE RESUME 1016 THE RESUME 1916 COMUS AND IIIS CREW. The way I happened to dream about it was that my English class at school had been studying Comus. 1 was quite interested in it, but was rather disappointed that there wasn't more description of the followers of Comus. I wanted to know how people with pigs' (or I suppose should say swine) heads would look. Well, my wish was granted. One night when I was about half asleep I was thinking about Comus and his crew, and suddenly I seemed to be in a dense forest. Soon 1 heard the queerest noises, laughing and talking and loud grunts. Whatever these sounds came from seemed to be coming in my direction. I was rather frightened, so 1 hid behind a huge tree. However, being a girl, my traditional curiosity overcame my fear, so I peered out to see what could be making those terrible grunts. 1 was so amazed 1 had to clap my hand over my mouth to keep from yelling and giving my hiding place away. Who should I see but Comus, with his coarse, but rather handsome features, and his crew. 1 le was very tall and wore a jacket and knee breeches of rich velvet, the color of wine. Over these he wore, hanging from his shoulder, a cape of dark green velvet. I decided he must he dressed to represent the cruel wine which he made. Every so often he would turn around, throw hack his head and laugh at the singular group following him. I didn't blame him for laughing, they all looked so droll, but I felt very sorry for them. The poor people didn’t realize their plight, so were very gay and acted as they always had. Thev were dressed in bright colored silks and velvets, which only emphasized their hideousness. One young girl must have been very beautiful before she had a snout for a nose. Another had the long ears of a pig. At the end of the following came several men with the heads of pigs. They were shaking their heads at each other and grunting as loud as the)- could. I suppose thev thought they were talking. They looked so very odd that T forgot 1 was hiding and laughed out loud. Comus heard me and came ;tp the tree behind which T was.biding. He told me to come tb'h'is palace and he would give me some good wine. T was trembling so 1 could hardly speak, but I said I wouldn’t go. Then he grabbed me by the arm and waved his magic wand. Just then T awoke to find mother shaking my arm and asking why T was crying. F. L.. 'ifi. IS HONESTY THE REST POLICY? Eva came in from a walk to the village, two miles distant. Her cheeks were die color of blushing roses and her eyes shone like stars. She was tall and slender, with dark eves and hazel brown hair. She made a pretty picture framed bv the open doorway, with its background of springtime foliage. “Just think, mother. I did get the place left vacant bv Anna for this summer. Mr. Dunn just told me so. Now I can go to York this winter, and all my dreams of being a teacher of language can come true! T am glad lie chose you for the position.” said her mother, while a look of sadness crossed her brow. '“You might have been happier than circumstances will now permit, dear.” “Why. mother, what do you mean? What has happened.' “Oh. Eva. I wish it could be otherwise, but mother has broken her arm. I received a telegram while you were gone. You know she isn t able to do the work and you must go.” •' THE RESUME 1916 “Oh. mother! Is it really true? Is it possible that such an accident would happen at this time?” “Yes, dear: there is no other way out of it but to do your duty. Possibly ou may get back sooner and Ik able to work a month at least.” “Oh, but that will not be all summer. Well, mother, we might as well not cry over spilled milk. When shall 1 go? I could go this evening on the eight o’clock,” Eva replied, to cheer her mother up, as well as to assure herself. Indeed, the sooner you go the better. Mrs. Wills is going to Benton this afternoon and she will be only too glad to have company, so you may go with her. As it is on her way there, she will take ypu right to your grandmother’s door.” Thus preparation was made for her departure, and she left none the worse for her disappointment. She was greatly disappointed, but she was not the person to grieve long over lost hopes. Her grandmother received her with gladness, for Eva was her favorite grandchild and she loved to have her about. Thought of the pain was banished by Eva’s cheery presence and her many acts of thoughtfulness which she was aiways doing. But in spite of Eva's gentle and untiring care the patient’s arm was slow to mend. One morning she awoke with a piercing pain and. calling Eva. sent her to the doctor’s office at the drug store. It was a gloomy, misty morning and Eva, slipping on her raincoat, hastened to the pharmacy, a mile away. As she was about to step in she noticed something lying on the step. Picking it up, she found it to be a |K cketbook. She put it in her pocket and went on about her errand. She was soon home, but she didn't mention the incident to her grandmother, as she was afraid lest she let her grandmother know what a disappointment her accident brought to her. When she was alone she opened it and found it to contain a thousand dollars in ten one hundred dollar bills. It was a sum that would more than cover the expenses of a term at York, and why couldn’t it lie hers? She also found the address of the owner. She knew by hearsay that the man was wealthy, and it seemed a pity that all this money should belong to him while she needed it so much more than he. She decided to send it that afternoon and waste no further thought on the inequalities of life. So accordingly that afternoon she sent it bv mail in a neat package. She did it with a sigh of relief, glad to he free of the care of it. Several days later, as she was busily at work in the kitchen, an elderly man appeared at the door and said: “Good-dav, madam: may I use your ’phone a minute, please? My car has broken down so I can’t fix it.” “Yes, indeed. Just come this way,” Eya answered, as she showed him into the room. “Who lives here, please?” “Mrs. Hill.” “Some one will soon be here and then T can go on my wav. Oh. by the way, you aren't a relative of John Doll's? You look so much like his sister.” “Yes, I am his daughter.” “I am glad to meet you. And not changing the subject, but do you know of anv one around here who found a small sum of money in one hundred dollar bills?” “Why—why—” stammered Eva. “You were the one and were so kind as to return it to me. for which I wish to thank you. How do you do. Mrs. Hill. You have a grand-daughter you may THE RESUME 1916 be proud of. Here she has returned a thousand dollars. Xot many girls would do so nowadays.” ‘‘Is that so? I never knew of it. Why didn’t you tell me, Eva?” “Please don’t ask me, grandmother, dear, i didn't do it because I didn't want you to know.” “Surely not,.child. Yes, I am proud of her. Can we do anything further for you?” . , “No, I believe not; but probably Miss Doll can tell me what she wants more than anything else, for a giri who is so honest deserves a reward.” “I am certain that Eva can tell you.” “More than anything else 1 want to go to school at York this winter. “Well, so that is it. I will see about it. Here’s wishing you good luck! and he was gone. It was the last of July that Eva went home. Her mother was awaiting her in joyous anticipation and her eyes lit up with gladness when Eva came in. “What is it, mother—what makes you so happy?” “I am happy because my little girl is going to get her dearest wish. Just see what came some time ago,” she said, holding up a bankbook and a letter. “’Ibis is the surprise I have been saving for you.” Eva took them and found the book contained an account of one thousand dollars opposite her name. Then she read the letter. “Oh, mother. I am so glad! And isn't this a dear wish: “'May honesty your policy always be. As all things true are deep as the sea.' DEBATING TEAM THE RESUME 1910 Departments THE RESUME 1916 GERMAN' DEPARTMENT. One of the most important departments of the school is the language department, and not the least, by far, is the German department. For convenience, the first German class was divided in two divisions, and has made rapid progress under their capable instructor in spite of various struggles with pronunciation. The rudiments of grammar were studied the first semester, and the second semester it was taken up a little more thoroughly, with a variation of stories in the text and a small book entitled. Marchen un i Erzahlungen. which proved very interesting. They seem to he quite proud of their accomplishments, especially before the Freshmen and Sophomores, who can't t 11 the difference between eine Kuh und eine Katze, but show great deference to the Seniors. Conjugations and declensions proved to be the Waterloo of many, but otherwise they have enjoyed an interesting and profitable year, and know many new things about German customs and German legends. They have learned several German poems, among which were Die Lorelei and ‘‘Stille Xacht. Though more or less vague as to pronunciation,, they have enjoved it immcn ely and are looking forward eagerly to their German work next year. The second German class has enjoyed an interesting vear in one class. They ive read “Immensee. “Im Vaterland. “Germelshausen and “Holier Als Die kirche,” with a variation of grammar work. All of the books were enjoyed by die class as a whole—grammar excepted. Although Immensee seems to be the dioice of all. the other books were quite interesting and everyone read ahead to see how it would come out. especially in Germelshausen. where the inscription on a tombstone dated to 1224, when the visitor saw it in 1845, and the grave was comparatively new—(the Juniors can tell you all about it—next year)—no ghosts, either. Though grammar work was probably not so thoroughly appreciated as it might have been, they were “exposed to .a good dose, though whether they ‘caught it. or not. is not certain. Several German songs were played on the Edison for the benefit of the class, whjch made it very interesting and broke the monotony of translation. The instructor. Miss Fuller, made the class interesting with various instructive and still interesting things, as German conversation and a game or two. and the class count their year of German 11 as one of the most pleasant activities of the school year. R. L„ ’16. HISTORY. This instructive and enjoyable course of. our school has been over-excellent this year. Most of the students from the Freshman to the diligent Senior have managed to get history in their course of studv. The first year class has added to its memory the story of the bygone periods and dynasties of the ancient Egyptians. with their religion, arts and magnificent culture: the long story of the old Babylonian, Assyrian and Chaldean empires: that of the Hebrews. Phoenicians, Persians, and of China and India. After this came the tale of Greece, that glittering star that hung amid the highest and most brilliant of the celestial regions, and finally drifted and faded away to be followed bv a still brighter one. In her golden history, the names of Homer. Hesiad and Pindar: Sophocles. Aeschylus. Euripides and Herodoties: Demosthanes. Socrates. Plato. Euclid and Strabo, are like jewels set with the rarest gems of civilization. Next came the greatest of the towering empires, which borne aloft to the highest of heights, at last tottered, fell, bled and died. Her sighs and gasps finally settled down to an inaudible murmur and ceased. Such was the life and destiny of Rome, first a kingdom, then a republic, and at last an empire: then a THE RESUME 1916 land overrun by barbarian invasions. Next was the transition age, when Catholicism converted the barbarians, and the church held sway. Rome’s influence, left bv her finest of countrymen, at the head of which were the immortal Caesar, and a score of others such as Cicero, .Marcus Aurelius, Virgil, 1 lorace, Ovid and Justenian, has never departed, even unto the present time. The second year class started their course with the Middle Ages. After the fail of Rome up to the Eleventh century were the Dark Ages; then the Age of Revival, lasting from the Eleventh century to the Discovery of America, embracing the Crusades, the Rise of the Parpacy, Decline of Temporal Power and the Rennaissance, with its Dantes, Bociacios and Plutarchs. Next the Modern Age, from 1492 to 1648. embracing the Era of ti e Reformation, glowing with such names as Luther, Ihiss, Wicliffe and other founders of Protestantism; along with the Rising of European nations. Next the Era of Political Revolution, lasting from 1648 up to the Twentieth century, including the Age of Absolute Monarchy. the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Era; then the Democratic Reaction up to the present time. The English History class ravenously devoured the beginning and rise of England, thrilling with the lives of famous leaders, rulers, writers and great characters; and with ihe tales of England’s wars and conquests. They followed the beginning and spread of democracy in England, the influence of foreign prop-ogandas, and the character and customs of the various races brought into England by the five great invasions. The American ili tory class has also studied and learned much of the history of our own glorious nation, in a very clear and realistic manner. The teachers of History, Miss Markland and Mrs. DeWald. both of whom have given us their time and attention, unceasingly, helping 11s over difficulties that have blocked our pathways, will surely be long remembered. They have made history seem, not a dusty array of facts and incidents to be memorized and learned, but a glowing, breathing course of vitalitv that concerned not only its bygone builders, but ourselves, the makers of our history of today, to be coupled on to that of the past and he ready to be followed by the future, when it becomes the present. W. A. D., ’17. LATIN. Many things have been accomplished in this aged and venerable course during this school year. The bones of the ancients have again been disturbed from their peaceful calm. The dust of the Roman capital has again been rocked into nisty swirls by charioteers with their gleaming spans of fiery steeds. Again have the priests adorned their temples with garlands, and poured forth the mellow .vine upon the altars, as a sacrifice to their gods. Again tall, grave. Roman orators with their wise and studious- countenances, have swayed us with rivers of eloquence. Once more the emperor passes along the paved streets with his bodyguard and is showered with fragrant roses taken from some gorgeous flower garden, by a graceful, rosy-cheeked maiden. The great amphitheater again towers before 11s and presents all of that classical elegance, long since mouldered away. Valiant troops with the glitter of burnished shields, and rows of veteran heroes glide by. Once more the sunnv lands of Gallia and Britannia receive the heavy tread of a mighty host led by the greatest of the great, the sagacious Caesar. Rut with all of the beauty and grandeur of the golden and tarnished past, with its many illustrious women and men, the clear day of the classical and mighty is foreseen to come to a close and one of the mightiest of cities to totter ami fall. Perhaps as Marcus gazed upon the ruins of Carthage, so we likewise, look back upon the ruins of the Latins, vet beautiful in splendor. The association with their language, even in our classrooms, has given 11s a verv realistic THE RESUME 1916 understanding of their racial characteristics, their laws, customs, languages, sciences and arts. The year has been very successful in this course of study. Our Latin instructors Miss Fuller and Miss Rough, have given us their best in instruction. The Freshmen are looking eagerly forward to campaign and battle with Caesar, while the Caesar class can hardly retain their patience until the eloquent Cicero takes command of them with his resonant voice. The Virgil class regret departing from the mellow-voiced poet, but those whose fortune it is to take more Latin are eagerly expectant. And last of all. let us pay a tribute to Latin—“A dead language that has lived thus far surely betokens more than its mere words, musical as they are. Jc is more than an institution, more than the reminder of a once magnificent empire; for it is as indestructible as the sun and will still ad 1 joy to the future, as it does to the present. Fax vobiscum, Latine. W. A. D., ’17. PHYSICS. We were told by Mr. Beaver and our textbooks that physics is a study that would set us to thinking (which it did) about things that happen around us. And the more of it we studied the more we became acquainted with the fact that although we were Seniors we did not know all there was to know. Physics deals with many things, as the study of the atmosphere, motion, gravity, heat, light, electricity and many other things which are very interesting to study. This is especially true when presented by Mr. Beaver, who handles the subject in such a way that it is not only instructive, but it is also very interesting. We have also had the advantage of good equipment and nearly every day we are lead through a series of strange performances bv Mr. Beaver, which have sometimes nearly led us to believe that he possessed some strange power. Our laboratory periods have been interesting and we have learned much from them. Especially interesting wa the study of gravitation, which was demonstrated to us very strikingly by Esther Abbey, who stood on one of the weak-bottomed leather chairs (infer what happened). Thus, although Mr. Beaver declares we have not worked hard enough, we have certainly received a great deal of benefit from the year’s work, and believe that a High School course could not be complete without a year of physics. It is said that the purpore of education is to prepare one to live fully, and a person certainly cannot live fully without knowing what is the cause and meaning of the changes which are constantly going on in nature. A. G., Y6. THE ENGLISH DEPARTMENT. Four years' study of Engli.-h being required for graduation, every student 'n the High school is a member of one of the four classes. During the first year the course includes the study of Irving’s ‘‘Sketch Book.” “The Last of the Mohicans,” be Cooper, and several poems included in Tennyson’s “Idylls of the King; also Lowell’s “Vision of Sir Launfal” and the ‘ Rime of the Ancient Mariner. In connection with these, Hanson’s ‘‘Composition and Rhetoric is studied. The second year includes the study of Sir Walter Scott’s “Ivanhoe;” Gray's Elegy in a Country Churchyard.” “The Deserted Village, by Oliver Goldsmith; “Merchant of Venice. by Shakespeare; “Silas Marner, by George Eliot; Clippinger's “Composition and Rhetoric are also taken up. During the third year the study is made up of Scott's Marmion. Shakespeare’s “Julius Caesar. and Macaulay's essay on “Milton. Gardiner. Kittridge and Arnold’s “Manual of Composition and Rhetoric is studied. The fourth year course includes Shakespeare’s ‘‘Macbeth,” a volume of Milton's minor poems,, and Tappin’s “History of English Literature.” The last nine weeks are devoted to the composition of Senior themes. N. L. II.. '17. THE RESUME 1916 THE COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT. The Commercial department of the Falls City High school has been doing some very good work this year. Courses have been offered in Shorthand, Typewriting, Bookkeeping, Commercial Law and Commercial Geography. The Commercial Geography and Commercial Law classes were so large that t has been necessary to divide them into two divisions, and both divisions are doing splendid work under the directions of Miss Rough and Mrs. De Wald. The Bookkeeping class is also very large and is doing good work under the supervision of Miss Prickett. The Typewriting class is so large that it has been necessary to have three Jivisions daily, there being eight typewriters for each division, two Underwoods, two L. C. Smiths, two Remington’s, one Smith-Premier and one Monarch. Two aims have been kept in view, fir.-t accuracy, which has been emphasized since the beginning of the work, and of late, speed. All are anxious to get the “forty words a minute speed certificate.” Also the Shorthand class is of a good size, and is doing good work in the Gregg System of Shorthand. Miss Rough also has shown her skill as instructor, and has just cause to be proud of her work this year, for she has a very fine shorthand class. This is the first year that the Falls City H’gh school has had a Commercial course and should be proud of the advance they have made. The outlook for the Commercial Course in the Falls City High school is a very good one. and in a short time will be one of the best in the state. S. B„ T6. THE ORCHESTRA. The High School Orchestra, which has long been a dream in F. C. H. S., comes to be a reality this year, due to the untiring efforts of Miss Mattison. The work was not started until quite late in the year, but were able to furnish music for the Commencement festivities. The organization promises to be bigger and better next year. The members: Violins—Edward Zivney, Harry Jones. Thurmond Mudd. Cornet—Frank Kramer. Clarinet—Joe Reavis. Piano—Miss Helen Mattison. Drums—John Holt. HOME ECONOMICS CLUB MEETING. “Oh, girls! 1 want you to see my new dress—the one I made in Domestic Art class!” exclaimed Marjorie as she came into the room where a group of girls were gathered sewing. “I am so proud of it. The design is all my own and as she slipped off her coat the girls all gathered around her. “What a lovely piece of linen, the color is so rich and the texture wonderful,” artistic Alice exclaimed, admiringly. “Did you get the pattern from Harper's?” said Juliette, the fashion’s plate girl. “No, the idea came from Vogue and I worked out the complete design myself. Don't you think the pockets adorable?” ‘‘Let’s see how the wrong side is finished. said practical Mary, who was always looking for the plain, every day things of life. And the skirt was duly examined for seams and hems. “But what are the rest of you doing?” asked Marjorie. “Well, if there isn’t Jane. 1 believe you are everlastingly darning your French silk hose. You THE RESUME 1916 Could make your way througli college doing such grand work for the dormitory girls. Ruth, is that for your hope chest? Such pretty lace! Wish I could crochet—but then I intend to follow cooking as a specialty, or in broader and more technical terms, food and nutrition. Some day I shall write for the Home bconomics Journal and be Supervisor of Household Arts in New York. Or perhaps 1 shall have a nice cozy house of my own where 1 can cook for two— I don't intend to go to a hotel and live. But this isn’t doing club work.” and Marjorie took the president’s chair and called the meeting to order. “We will now have the minutes of the last meeting read and the roll call given. Ruth arose—“The meeting was opened by the president on March 24 at the home of Jane Polish. The regular business was transacted and a special committee appointed to have at the next meeting a general discussion of Domestic Science and keep in touch with other clubs. A paper on 'The Value of Protein in the School Children’s Diet’ was read by Mildred Marks. A demonstration on the use of tough meats was given by Hazel Nickol. The meeting adjourned to meet two weeks later at the home of Lois Wilden.” “Please answer to your name when the roll is called.” After the roll call the president announced the following program for the afternoon: “Report From Another club,” by Dollie Young. ‘‘Demonstrations With Warmed Over Meats,” by Susan Hook. Dollie arose and gave the following report: “The Home Economy club at ----have taken up the latest phase of tlie subject. They have three families in the slums of the city to which they go and apply their experiences. The families are poor, having very little to wear and to eat, and the house is very unsanitary. At different times several of the girls visit the homes and remain there often a day at a time. They direct the cooking and after several days the women of the house have sufficient experience to know that cleanliness is the keynote to good cooking and everything pertaining to the house. These members also help the families prepare budgets which makes them more economical and teaches them to plan ahead, thus preventing extravagance on one article and ignorant purchase of another. The girls also prepare a schedule for daily cleaning, and remove the old gaudy colored pictures which some of the family have cut from a Sunday paper and pasted on the wall, and the old bric-a-brac. Some old boxes, which were used as chairs, were either covered or painted and an old rocker in the alley was wired and nailed together again, so as to make them more neat. At the end of the week the house is given a thorough cleaning and during that time it is made most comfortable. After the girls had commented upon, the excellence of the paper, Susan presented her demonstration on Warmed Over Meats with Sphagetti. At the previous demonstration,” she began, “we cooked beef with dumplings, showing the use of tough meats, and today we take up the use of left over meats. This noon the family had roast, which is a tender meat, and we are going to make an attractive dish of that remaining. The sphagetti adds carbohydrates to the food value of the dish and makes it more attractive. 'Hie white sauce which is added thickens it and adds flavor. “The manipulation of the recipe is very simple. Have a pan of water boiling on the stove to which salt has been added. Do not break the sphagetti. but take the long sticks and gradually slide them into the boiling water, which will soften them. This can be done without breaking any of them. Boil until tender and then pour into a strainer, running cold water over to prevent sticking together. Take these long, soft sticks and form a spiral around the si ’es of the dish, which can very easily be done after several times’ practice. Put in a laver of meat and then of white sauce, seasoning each layer. The white sauce is made by melting butter and adding the flour, milk, salt and pepper; cook until of the consistency of soft butter. Bake until brown and serve hot. As she nut the dish into the oven Susan remarked that during the social hour each would receive her portion. Marjorie again took charge of the meeting, and upon motion the meeting adjourned for the social hour. STELLA GATZ, T6. THE RESUME 1916 THE RESUME 1916 ATHLETIC NOTES. On September 13 the football squad got out for their first practice. We were fortunate in having Prof. Beaver for coach, but lacked ability within the team to develop into a winning team. Although the team worked fine in the first few games, they began to slump in the last part of the season. Our first game was with Yerdon and was lost to them by a small score. Our next game was with Tecumseh and was won by a good score. The remainder of the games came in the following order: Pawnee, Weep- ing Water, Tecumseh, Sabetha. Nebraska City, Hiawatha and Robinson. Nine games were played during the season and three of them were won. Ti e other six were lost to Tecumseh, Sabetha. Nebraska City, Hiawatha and Robinson, Kansas. During the latter part of the season Captain Yort received a sprained ankle and was kept out of the last three games. This, no doubt, will explain part of the weakness, at least during the latter part of the season. Ernie Frehse was also injured in the Pawnee game and was kept out of one of the games. Taken as a whole, the football season was a failure, and no doubt can partly be explained by the fact that some of the fellows did not get out to practice as regularly as they should. Most of the squad have expressed a determination to do better next vear, and with good support from the school we should have a winning team next year. THE RESUME 19'6 BASKET BALL. As soon as the football season was over basket ball practice was started. We were a little unfortunate in this, for most of the basket ball boys were on the football team, and this kept them from starting basket ball practice earlier. Most of our opponents have the advantage of us here, for they do not plav football and thus are able to put more time in on basket ball. Ten games were played in all and only one of them lost. Nebraska City wen their game from us on our own floor by a very small score, so we justly feel proud cf our record this year. Games were played with the following teams: Stella. 2: Nebraska City, i; Auburn. 2; Humboldt. 2: Hiawatha. 1 : Alumni. 1 ; Robinson, 1. The team was sent to the State Tournament this year and hoped to take the Class B cup. Just a few days before they were to go two of the lx ys on the team were taken sick and could not go. This weakened ti e team a great deal, but Prof. Beaver decided to go and go as far as we could in the tournament. The spirit of the team was dampened, but they determined to fight all the harder to keep up their reputation. The first game was with Rising City and. using their own words, “would take a fall out of Falls City,” but at the end of the game they had to admit that Rising had taken a fall. The game was won by, a score of 23 to o. and was very fast. Nebraska City was eliminated the first game by Stanton by a good score, and it fell to our lot to play Stanton the next day. We entered the game expecting to win, but some of the boys got stage fright and could not play as good a game as they otherwise would, so we lost by a score of 13 to 16. We would not have felt so bad about it. but every one knew that the team was broken up and felt that we could have won the game if we bad only one of the men that were not able to come. THE RESUME 1916 TRACK. Work-out in track was started as soon as the weather permitted. There was more material out for track this year and we lope to make the other towns fit up and take notice. One of our best men received a sprain in football, and this will no doubt slow him up. Id very one is working faithfully, and with the support of the school they will make a good record. l he Tarkio track meet is over and Falls City took third place. Yort received three medals. Charles James and Glen Hughes brought home with them two shields, one for the mile relay and one for second place in Class B. Friday, .May 12. there was a dual meet between halls City and Hiawatha, and from the reports of a track meet held in that place the fellows have it doped out that they will be able to get revenge for the “walking on” the football team teceived last fall. After the dual meet a county meet has been planned, and again lb fellows feel confident of adding another victory to their list. Just who will be sent to the state meet has not been decided at the present writing. Athletics in general have been pretty good this year, but next year we hope to do better in football. The support has been good this year, but there is room for improvement. So let’s cat behind the track team and boost for all we are worth, and come back next year and boost as hard as we e-an for each athletic event. LESTER KISTER. THE RESUME 1916 GIRLS’ ATHLETICS. The season for the girls’ basket ball started January 7 in a game with Stella, played at Falls City, the result being 45 to 5 in favor of Falls City. Owing to the fact that most of the schools wanted to play at a later date we were left with two open dates, at which time we played the Alumni January 14. resulting 22 to 18 in our favor, and the Commonweal club. January 28. with a score of 51 to 8 in our favor, and the Saturday between these two, January 15. we played Mound City, on their floor, with a score of 25 to 8 in our favor, this being the first defeat for the Missourians in two years. Then on Friday. February 4, Atchison High School playedo here, we winning bv a score of 59 to 4. For weeks lie fore February 11, we looked forward with great expectations to the Nebraska City game. This was the fastest game played on our floor, as both sides were out to win, but when the final whistle blew the score was 27 to 17 in Falls City's favor. Saturday. February 12. a mixed team, made up from he first and second teams, went to Stella with Miss Grace Reavis as coach. This game proved to be out of the usual order for the Falls City team, as they had never met a similar situation, but the score resulted in 35 to 14, also in our favor. The following game was played with Mound City. Mo., on the halls City floor, with the usual result. Falls City winning. 23 to 17. February 25 we met our first defeat on the Nebraska City floor. It was a hard-fought game, with a final score of 23 to 18. Upon invitation, we went to St. Joe. March 3. to play a team n that city, the score being 48 to 8 for Falls City. The last game of the season was played with Atchison, on their floor, at the Y. M. C. A.. e were defeated jv 24 to 13. The team was comprised of the following players: Dessie McCleary. r. forward: Audrey Marion. 1. forward: Flora Ticknor. r. guard: Elizabeth Mosiman. l. guard and captain; Elizabeth Gist. 2d center: Wilma Russ, center; Miss Mark-land, coach. Only two defeats out of eleven games was very satisfactory to the team. But a great part of our success was due to our coach. Miss Markland. who was always ready to help us and full of “pep” and enthusiasm throughout the games which gave us courage to win and make the vcar successful. ELIZABETH GIST.
