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 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.”
