She taught two years at Castana, Iowa, before coming here. This is her third years' work in Falls City and she has been one of the greatest factors in the high school for arousing interest and enthn iasm. She was the girls' basket ball coach for two years and its success is largely clue to her enthusiasm and spirit. She has fulhlled the duty of sponsor to the class of ,I7 during their Soph. and Sr. years and they are more than pleased with her fidelity and practicability. She is truly a friend of all the school. Prof. llenjamin ll. Groves, Supt. of Falls City schools anfl one of the high school faculty, closes a very successful school year in Falis City. Previous to his coming here he was for two years superintend- ent of schools at Cambridge. Nebr., and the principal and teacher of mathematics of Franklin Academy at Franklin, Nebr. He is a graduate of Superior, Nebr., High School and the University of Nebraska. His clean cut sense of honor and justice. hi' vifrernus enthusiasm, his exact methods, and his general interest in the High School have been decided factors in its betterment throughout the schfiol year, .l'rof. C. A. lleaver. principal of our high school, to whom this book is dedicated, has been with us two years. lle came to our school from llroken llow, Nebr., where he served two years as teacher of science and athletic coach., He graduated from the Rel Oak, Iowa. high school in IQOO and from the University of Nebraska in IQIQ. Vklhile attending the University he taught one and one-half years in the physics department of the Temple high school and served as an assistant in tl1e Zoology department of the University for one year. Since he has been connected with the F. C. ll. S. he has done a great deal for the high school and all its activities. His instruction has been very beneficial, helpful and interestinff and his coaching has given us excellent athletic teams. He has instilled an endless supply of pep into the high school and all its activities. ' Nr. Fred Cummins, instructor in Mathematics, comes to us from Omaha, Nebr. He received a scholarship to the Armour Institute there and graduated after four years of efficient work. This is his first year of teaching and it has been unusually successful. He is a man who believes that perseverance will overcome every obstacle. Orange and Black Annual k A----7 l l 1 l l I l Page Nine - THE FACULTY Miss Greene, the teacher of Domestic Art and Science, comes to us from Parker, South Dakota. She was a graduate of the Parker high school in IQII, and the University of South Dakota in 1916. Her work here has had splendid results, although the number taking the Domestic course this year has been comparatively small. She is extremely popular with the ll. S. students and especially with the Juniors, whom shehas served as class sponsor. lt was largely due to her faithful efforts that the Junior-Senior Banquet at- tained its success. On the whole she is a teacher whom the high school could not afford to lose. Prof L. L. Smith, mlanual training instructor,.is a graduate of the high school at lfloisington, Kansas, and has attended the State Agri- cultural College at Nlanhattan for three years and a half. Tle has been with us three and a half years and during that time has acted as football coach and boys' gymnasium instructor, in addition to his regular work. The school feels that he is part of the institution, and one from whom a continuous flow of pep and invigorating enthu- siasm is proceeding. Mrs. De XVald, supplementary teacher, has been working with us for Qree years. She is a graduate of Lincoln high school and of llamilton College at Lexington, Kentucky. Iler room work has met with splendid success. She also has given the students the pleasure of hearing her read several times, which has been a treat worth while. Miss lelelen Mattson, music instructor. is a graduate of Rockwell City high school in lowa, and of Thomas Nrlrlllzll Tfllllllllg School ill Illinois. This is her second year of teaching in Falls City and the sue- cess of the glee clubs organized by her. is due to her faithful and effi- cient work. .Orange and Black Annual THE FACULTY Miss Davies, teacher of English and Science, has completed a very successful year. She graduated last year at Columbia University, N. Y., and this is her first year of teaching. She is an alumna of the Falls City high school and has also attended school at Ames, Iowa. and Hanover, Indiana. Because of her sunny disposition she has won innumerable friends and holds a warm place in their affections. Her ideal of teaching is to inspire as well as to teach. and she has carrried it out to the utmost. Miss Ethel Rough. commercial teacher, is a graduate of XVeepinQ VVater Academy and Doane College. This is her second year herC. and she has erected a standard that cannot easily he surpassed. The students owe a great deal to her for her example of work and enthusi- asm. Miss Eva Fuller, teacher of languages, has been with us now for four years, each of which has been more than profitable for us. A more thorough and better liked leader cannot be found anywhere. ln addition to her careful work, she successfully sponsored the class of '16 thru their senior year and many tributes have been paid to her for her splendid service. ' She. too, is an idealist in teaching and inspires her pupils with bits of wisdom and often gives them practical common sense. The school is heavily indebted to her for many things which have tended toward its development. Her home is at Vallisca, Ia. Miss Frieda Stuff the English teacher, comes to us from Lincoln, Nebr., after a year of successful teaching in the art department of tl'e Lincoln high school. She has had charge of the girls' gymnasium work in which department success is also obvious. She is a graduate of the Lincoln high school and the University of Nehrafka. She has gained many friends here in the city, due largely to her enthusiasm and energy. She is very careful and precise in her method of instruction and the students under her have been greatly benefited and helped.

It is somewhat with lachrymose and regret-tinged feeling that a student bids farewell forever to an institution which has fostered four of his happiest years, which has garnished his happiest days, and which has 'polished the ma- chinery of his mind. The years there spent decided the future, and fast and fleeting as the ver- dant spring, they have moved on and now they are at the verge of the abyss of tomorrow. Down the long hall of evolution have these de-parting classmtn passed and now deluded and filled with inutterable indecision and dubious of tomorrow do they await the drum-beat of the forever passing army of civiliza- tion and progress. The time has come when they, too, must fall in line and march on. So with regret these creatures of the tricks of time are in a new phase of hu- man development. Their plastic minds, after serious contemplation, will re- produce an image of beauty and inspiration. The elements in their personali- ties will properly affiliate and result in a sound symmetric whole. They will always cherish their school days, the first Heeting years of their lives, and will hold dear those events and persons associated with them during that time. They have learned to accept farewell as being in the illimitable course of things. They have learned that each new meeting brings but parting pain, and that reconciliation and forgetfullness must alone exist in hearts re- signed to lot and destiny. But a certain halo will always rest upon the memory of their school which has almost become a part of themselves, these children of today, who are the men of tomorrow. But as the years come and go, so liloewise will other classes experience the same inexpressible feeling. A bond of brotherhood always exists when a mu- tual memory of happy school days abides in each separate one of them. Such memories will not be morbid or lachrymose sentimentalities, but will be the recreating of care-tarnished minds in the future dubious tempest of to- morrow, when the memories of the past will have become lost to the present. The period of examination is over. the most trying period of teachers and students. Of course some have failed: but let these not be discouraged, but take new life and try again. The plugger is a fellow who gets there by and bv. Let your defeat be a stepping-stone to success in your project. The bees do not desist gathering the honied nectar for the hive. when they find the choicest of the comb stolen after all their incessant labors. No, they perseverse and con- tinue their toil. This mediocrity will give way to advancement and a stronger nation will evolve from pgymies into intellectual giants and men of prow- ess. NVe do not grow by spasms but inches, and when we are fully grown we are perfect, fully developed and normal. Students of the H. S.. the Orange and the Black is an opportunity, a privi- lege. and a necessity. Shall it survive or die? You must answer the question. There are possibilities in its utility that can not fairly suffocate beneath the waves of nonchalance and non-support. In plain words, you must stand by your guns or the paper will fall apart and cease to exist. for a paper cannot be nour- ished on disinterest. It is an individual matter with each of you, so please do not shirk the personal responsibility. Subscribe. and pay for your subscription. Speak a good word for it.. and arouse interest in your friends. If you, each, do this an animate paper will be the result. and the wheels will not become clogged. The staff this year have taken pleasure in their work. and have hopes for the future of the paper. They appreciate the efforts of those who have had in- terest and only hope that the others will do likewise. Boost your paper. and you boost your school.

There is no one who doesn't know that in that year the class of IQI7 entered the F. C. H. S. We had fifty-six members already noted for their brilliancy and intellectuality. The first year Miss Ruth Heacock advised this illustrious class. The first few days we went to a number of classes where we didn't belong and stayed a period or longer without realizing the difference, but what of that! We soon realized what was expected of us and well did we live up to that expectation. During that year we did not have so many social affairs, for we were so deeply engrossed in our studies that we could hardly be aroused for anything of that sort. But one affair is to be especially remembered and that is the masquerade at the home of Thelma Roberts. Then with our reputation well established we began our Sophomore year. Miss Markland was our class advisor. We were the first Sophomores in the new building, and the southeast corner of the assembly hall was dedicated to us, We enjoyed this year even more than our Freshman year. We had a number of weenie roasts, parties, etc. A number of our girls served at the banquet given by the class of 'IO to the class of '15, Then began the junior year - the best of all. Miss Haynes was our class advisor and Lester Kister our president. and well did they guide the class through that important year. That year we had weenie roasts, sleigh rides and parties, among them a farewell party for .lack Reavis. But them-the Junior- Senior Banquet. This banquet will be recorded as one of the most important events in the history of the class. Then comes the Senior year, when we fully recognized the dignified posi- tion we occupied and this dignity has been shown on every occasion. A number of new members were added to the class this year and we were very glad to welcome them. Again Miss Markland was our class advisor. We have had a number of social affairs this year, but Senior Tacky Day beats them all. On that occasion we appeared in costumes so startling that we were not allowed to stay at school, but were sent home to dress more suitably and return. But alas! They looked in vain. We never returned. To soothe our injured feelings we took up a col- lection and had a feast. VVe made up the time but what of that-have we not set a noble example for the class of '18 to follow? As for the Senior Play, we never thought before that each of us was doonwed to become a great actor or actress. But stiange to say, that seems to he the role of each of usiand we will put on a production that will surprise the city. They will marvel that there is such talent in our class. WVell. my history must end, for it must not be long and tiring as most his- tories are apt to be. I fully realize I have not done justice to the greatness of the class of '17, but no language is eloquent enough to express the honor of being a member of such a class. So the name of the greatest class-the class of '17-an ideal class. goes down in history. A model for every class to follow and although they can never attain the heights we have attained, let them al- ways strive to follow our worthy example. L. G. 'I7. Orange and Black Annual Page Nineteen THE SENIORS CLASS PROPHECY. Well, if you insist, I'll keep my promise and you shall hear the story of the Class of '17 of the Falls City High School. just fifty years ago to-night, and I will venture to say, no place in the U. S. A. could have been found a more brilliant and promising class of forty young people ready to go out upon a career, which proved so successful. Ah, I can see them all now in their stately attire of gray caps and gowns going up one by- one to claim their reward for four years' of faithful work. Let me see-what was his name? Oh, yes, Thomas Exam Hargrave, the president of our class. VVho would ever have dreamed as they saw him walking up to claim his diploma that to-day his name would stand with that of john Jay? If I remember correctly it happened something in this manner: Germany had sucd for peace and the President chose him as one of the representatives of the U. S. in the great .pace council where he was appointed head of the com- mittee to draw up the treaty, which will always stand above all others. That was a terrible war but with all its horrors it brought great fame to certain members of our fold. There was that wonderful submarine of the United States which was the main cause of the drawing to a close of that great crisis. It was a small but mighty boat called the Kister-Spragins 17. And the inventors were none other than Lester Kister and Given Spragins, both of that illustrious class. Girls? Why to be sure there were. There was Irene Mead, better named kilorencc Nightingale II. She had a beautiful voice and did more for the American soldiers than can ever be expressed. Then, too, there were othtrs whose services as Red Cross nurses could not be overlooked, and to the class of I7 belong the names of Edna Karst, Josephine Gade, Gladys Kcttman and Neva Snavelv. But there were others who rendered their services to their country who did not fight or care for the wounded. Dessie McCleary was one of these. Al- ways happy as a bird, don't you know ? And learning more about stenography every day. Several years after graduating she became the head stenographcr for a firm in Kansas City by the name of Latz 81 Co, She held this position for only a short time when the President of the firm decided she was indispensiblc to the company and so made he his partner. After the close of the war a number of the members of that famous class went abroad to study, among whom was Professor DeLaney, now of Harvard University. He has introduced many new theories, which have established an everlasting memorial for him, as well as have aided humanity. Orange and Black Annual Page Twenty One THE SENIORS Then there was Ileah Reed, well I remember her, always ready to answer anything that pertained to mathematics. She has, ,for the past twenty years, taught Solid Geometry and Trigonometry in the F. C. H. S. while Elta Sailors was diligently working with the commercial students and Marcile Stump imparted her knowledge of arts and sciences to the brilliant Freshmen. It was about 1925 that Falls City had such a boom. There was the vine- gar factory, famous throughout the Middle West. At this time Sam McCool was known as the junior partner of the firm, with very favorable prospects of controlling the business in the near future. Then there was Byron McDonald, who owned the largest basket grocery store between New York and Frisco. It was a sight worth seeing to watch him, attired in his full dress suit. silk hat and white kid gloves, promenading the different departments to see that everything was alright. After equal suffrage became universal, Con ress had many women repre- sentatives among whom was Elizabth Gist from t e Fourth district of Mexico, which the United States annexed in 1920. She now serves tea to the Persian ambassadors, and lives in a self-contained fashion, 'caring only for her pet shep- herd-since she willed away all of her ardent admirers in our last will and tes- tament. There was Lucia Gritlin, who is torlay the mistress of a large chicken farm near Ankneyville, known as Strausville before the war with Germlany. It was only yeterday that I started out in my electric for Mademoiselle 'l'refzer's beauty shop and'when passing Rockerfeller's mansion I heard a voice, somewhat familiar, anhounce from the platform on the drive. Me Lord, the carriage waits. Upon a second look I discovered the likeness of Lloyd Marsh serving as Rockefeller's head butler. The last I knew of the Falls City VVoman's Club, Henrietta Mathews was president: Nellie Moss. parliamentarian: and Hattie Stewart was sent as their representative to the national convention. The Class of 'I7 can well feel proud of their musicians. There is Delous Ziveny. who is today a second Misha Elman. Also Joseph Reavis, who is play- ing the clarinet in the ifirst Boston Symphonv' Orchestra. But who could ever have imagined Nellie Lee Holt as being the Grand Opera singer for that very same orchestra? I am sure I do not know if the attraction was Society Smith or if it just was an accident, anyway, if ever you have a chance to hear her sing don't miss the opportunity. Mary Houck was one we all liked to hear read, and I guess someone else must have discovered her cleverness, also, because she is now one of the Red- path Circuit's main numbers. NVithout a doubt hcr programs are unsurpassed. Orange and Black Annual Page Twenty-T wo THE SENIORS In the last Nebraska State journal I received, I noticed this statementr Sandrock Ford Distributing house has consolidated with the Hargrave Stude- baker Distributors. This used to be run on a somewhat smaller basis by the name of Louck's Sz Jone's. The Senior play had its inspirations for Hazel. First it was the stage, but this wasn't what she wanted, and before long she was in the movies. I know she is a favorite with the most of you, so often have I heard you mention Miss Mer- cer's name. Thelma was an excellent student in Latin and I was not surprised in the least to hear that she Language Principal in Vassar for several years. But she is now teaching Arty on a small ranch in Yortshire, Wyo, In the latest news from Washiiigton, I read that Tophy Wienert was ap- pointed Secretary of State for the new administration, while Elizabeth Mosimrn received the honors, offered by the National Convention of motorists held in that city this week, for the best speed made on the coast to coast race. And at last Leta has secured a patent on her Meyers dyes, which will from now on supply the U. S. with all the dyestuff she needs. But just think to have a real live novelist in your class. There is certainly a lot to that old saying l'Silent waters run deep. As I unpacked the nfw books for the library I found six volumes of Brown's latest works. And Vera even dedicated one of these to the Class of ,I7. It seems as though we have had various occupations represented bv the various members of the class. Perhaps somewhere in History you have read of the great Barnum-Riailey circus which used to travel over the country and give performances at different places. Well, the Tackett Shows of today are only this old circus in new clothes, and run on an up-to-date plan. Edward super- vises the performances in his aeroplane rather than on horseback, as was the custom fifty ylears ago. Joe Lemmon is the main attraction traveling with the show this year. He has a large Motor Dome where he draws large crowds by his race with death. Guy Inks has charge of the animal department and has im- ported many wild creatures from Africa and South America. Then there was Jane Crook. who completed the course in several seminaries in the east. But school-life did not suit her. so she traveled for a year, and while in Belgium she met a Duke and-well, you know the rest-they lived happy ever after in their castle on the Rhine. Last but not least is Roy Hoffman. who is now posing for a new model of the Katzenjammer Kids. S. B. ,I7. Orange and Black Anuual Page Twenty-Two vvar' LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF SENIOR CLASS OF 1917. VVe, the Senior Class of the Falls City High School, Richardson County, Nebraska, the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventeen, being of sound mind and body do .publish and declare this our last will and testament, that is to say: First, we desire that all our just debts be paid, providing there is enough money in the treasury to pay them-if not, then we wish that these debts be cancelled. W e bequeath our love of knowledge and proverbial dignity in full and rounded measure to the Freshmen. Upon our nearest heirs, the Juniors, at our graduation, we bestow the name of Reverend Seniors. XN'e also bequeath and devise to said junior Class all of the northwest quarter of the assembly room of the High School Building, situated on Block ninety-three, in City of Falls City in Richardson County, State of Nebraska. To the beloved faculty we leave our kindest regards, and grant forgiveness for the misery they have caused us by means of the famous eighth period. The Senior Class, by common consent of all parties concerned, do hereby give and bestow by hand of their adored class advisor, Miss Markland, to a wonderful Tenor, an unknown bell-ringer. Individually, we desire to leave a few remembrances to our dearest friends. Our model, Elizabeth Nosiman. gives her calm temperament and dignified demeanor to Francis Knight. Sam McCool leaves his position as center on the basket-ball team to Lloyd VVahl. Thomas Exam Hargrave leaves his noise and pep to all of the junior boys in hopes that they will be able to keep up his past reputation. Eliza -lane Crook leaves her title as The Class Angelf' to Laura Cade. Lloyd Marsh gives to his chum, Margaret Miller-a promise of life-long faith fulness. Tlyron MacDonald bequeaths his commencement suit of clothes to Johnnie Holt in hopes that he can wear them the night of his graduation. Our Senior soloist, Edward Zivny fCount De No Countj, leaves his me--. lodious voice of Dearle Baker. Dessie McCleary gives her athletic physique to Leta Rrannum.

Then there were games in which all partook, and after these a general good time was enjoyed. Tee cream and cake were served by the Sophomores. who knew how to prepare a good time, for which we cordially thank them. The next party was a return to the Sophomores on lTallowe'en night. VVe decorated the Gym. so as to give a spooky impression. The Sophs came, few numerically, due to the bad weather, but we tried to show all of them a good time. Then we served cider. apples, popcorn and other llallowe'en delicacies. VVe gave a party for ourselves about the middle of the year, inviting all of the faculty. VVe played games and kept the victrola going. A good time was enjoyed until a late hour, then the eats were served. and the party disbanded. Three Freshmen were on the football team. They were: Stacy Tfoiy, VVm. Goetz and Sanborn Cook. Enough boys turned out for a class basket ball team, but were badly defeated by the junior's second team. P. K., zo.

On Feb. 2 we went to Mound City for one of the hardest games of the sea- son. We played hard, but the score was 39-32 in favor of Mound City. On Feb. 9, Nebraska City played here and carried off the victory by a score of 31-29. This was a very exciting game. After the game we entertained the visitors with a reception at the home of Miss Reavis. Un Feb. 16, we went to Humboldt and won the game by a score of 27 to 20. Feb. 23, Mound City played here. They defeated us by a score of 18 to 14. XfYe went into the game with lots of pep,,' and it was a hard-fought game, ex- fi ning throughout. March 2, we played at Pawnee City, winning an easy victory, 41-19. March 16, we went to Nebraska City. The game was very fast from the beginning. They get the lead in the first half, but at the end of the second half the score was tied, ZQ to 29. VVe played off the tie, Nebraska City being the first to make two consecutive points, which made the score 31 to 29 in their favor. Un account of ill health, Miss Markland was not able to coach us the entire year. She has been the coach for the past two years, and always gave her indi- vidual attention and encouragement to the team. Miss Grace Reavis proved a friend in need. She put pep into the girls, and made us all work to get our places on the team. Wie hope she will be able to be with us again next year. lt was due to the faithfulness of the second team girls that made it possible for the Hrst team girls to win. These girls were Ferne Jones, Pearle Shouse, Ruth Ernst, Fern Falloon. Mabel jones and Esther Jenkins. lflta Sailors, our jumping center, was always there when the whistle blew. She proved equal to any other center on an opposing team, nearly always get- ting the knock-off. Lucia Griffin did splendid work as second center. She always knew where the ball was going' and was there to get it. Her field work was excellent. Our two forwards. Dessie McCleary and Faye Loucks, were excellent goal throwers. In fact, they outclassed any other forwards we played against. Des- sie played an exceptionally star game at Pawnee City, while Faye played her ,stargame at Nebraska City. Our guards, Eliz beth Mosimian and Helen Tanner, pre the hest to be found, which the scores of tie opposing teams will show. To nur guards we owe a great deal of credit for ur victories. Our substitutes, Laura Cade and Margaret Miller, will be valuable guards for the team next wear, which was shown by the way they played in tl1e game at Nebraska City.

Perhaps, for the sake of those who may wonder why this topic was assigned to me, it may be well to explain that it was some eight years ago that I, a Sen- ior, quite as high and mighty, in my own estimation, as are the Seniors of to- day, graduated from this very high school. True, then it was, a beacon that led me north instead of so-uth in my daily quest for knowledge, and that may ac- count. in part, for the chills that invariablypwent creeping down my back at per- iods some six weeks apart. At such times my teeth chattered and my knees shook and my face wore an ashen hue. The absence of all, such distressing signs on the part of the pupils today leads one to believe that our location in a sunnier clime may be responsible for the improvement. lint if you are of too practical a mind and refuse to believe that our removal to a site eight long blocks nearer to the equator is sufficient to effect Such a change, we must seek another cause to account for this lack of fear and the serene air of complacency that sits enthroned in its stead. It may be that neither Scylla nor Charybdis nor Medusa nor any other mon- ster besets the path of those traveling to the Land-of-Knowledge today. But I am the last to admit that that is within the realm of possibilities-for is it not the office of every good teacher to place in the. way of every aspirant a monster big enough to nearly devour him? I say, 'tnearlyj' of course, enough of him must be left so that he will eventually revive. and, in the end, rise up the strong- er and the better able to slay still more formidable monsters. Now, it is my contention that since the town itself has improved, since ,streets are paved, and since the lighting system has becoire bo-th effective an'l beautiful, and since the last election has demonstrated that this little corner ofthe world has grown vastly better. it must be that the teachers likewise have improved. How ,ego- tistical! you say. Of courie! But in solving my problem I must perforce con- clude that the aspirpnit of today is better able of his own strength to overcome Scylla. and has more native skill in untying the Gordian knot than had the stu- dent of nineteen hundred and eight. or else I may conclude that the instructor, through superior skill, has enduecl the student of nineteen hundred and sixteen with a power which enables him to look upon all problems as mere Will o' the VVifps. and so present a countenance free from all traces of anxiety and speak- ing only buoyancy and ioy. Accept which of these conclusions you preferx: I voubt not that it will be the first: but you must pardon me if I accept the second, for how can I go against nature enough to believe that the graduating class of today possesses more innate ability than did the class of which I was a member? And. likewise. l'ow can I help hut believe that this faculty is of a very superior order and far outstrips that of many years ago? liiut. of course, on this point there can be no uniformity of opinion except, perhaps. within the faculty itself. Tint after all is sai'l and done. and joking put aside. there is one point upon which we are all agreed. and that is that the High School itself has shown re- markable development within the last eight years.- It used to be that this com- posite body had room enough and to spare in the Old North Building. But soon. nceording to the law of all healthy. vigorous things, it grew, and grew until its arms and legs protruded beyond the limits of its dress and it threatened to burst the sides of its very dwelling. Then it was that of paternal schooilbpard took pity upon this gawky, overgrown youth and persuaded the citizens to nro- vide it with a home prooortiohahto its size. That they responded generously is pro-ved by this roomy, splenrlidlv eouinned. modern building. One who does not l-'now of the days when the asrenwhlv hall contained six long tables surrounded bv movable chairs. can scarcely realize that we are now enioving the Utopia for which the teachers of those days so arflentlv longed. Yes. they had visions of ah assembly hall like this, where all seats should he nailed. and nailed verv firmly. to the floor. Can you imagine the utter chaos that reigned when pupils were dismissed to their classes and each one, upon arising, had to push back n chair? Now, it,is not always possible for people. even though they have the Orange and Black Annual p Page Thirty Five u un ii A keg, very best intentions, and even though all four legs of every chair are rubber- padded, to accomplish such a feat quietly. But imagine the tumult, when a goodly proportion of those one hundred and hfty young Americans did not pos- sess the best intentionsl, And such, alas! was 'frequently the case. With what diabolical glee did some of the most impish thrust back their chairs, and giving them a peculiar twist, producing a grating, thunderous, almost terrifying.noise! If they have attained anything like the degree of skill in their chosen professions that they did in this art, it goes without saying that they are phenomenal suc- cesses! Upon crossing this chasm of eight years one cannot help notingthe homey, and occasionally almost festive atmosphere that pervades the halls. There was nothing so alluring as this in ,the days when neither Domestic Science nor a Business Course occupied an important place in our curriculum. But the unin- itiated ask what possible connection can a Business Course have with either homtiness or festivity. Only listen, and you will hear the click upon the type- writers keeping time, time, time, .to the rythmic strains of the Victrola. Soon another sense is stirred, and the enticing odors of some delectable morsel, con- cocted by girls daintily attired in pretty white aprons, are wafted along the halls, and a feeling of contentment steals over one, and a sense that life is goo'l. This would not be at all an adequate account of important changes which have occurred between Then and Now if mention were not made of the trans- formation of the pet of the school. Football has grown from a puny weakling into a lusty, frolicksome, red-cheeked boy In fact, he was of so little importance in my day that I scarcely remember him. But now one could not escape him if one would. Even if he isn't actually present, we can't help thinking about him. VVe yell vociferouslv for him, we sing at the top of our lungs for him, we make banners and Hy them for him, and there is nothing we wouldn't do for him. Many other changes might be noted, but these are of minor importance and external only, while there is one great, underlying passion which vitalizes the students of today no less than it did those of eight years ago. There is some- thing within youth that aspires, there is a longing for something indefinable that is high andvnoble, and in our eager youth we are striving to attain it. De- termination and work are our watchwords, and we say, with Emerson, In the will, work and acquire, and thou shalt chain the wheel of-chance and shalt sit hereafter without fear of her rotation! HELEN DAVIES. THE YEAR 1999. It was still early in the, evening and the streets of New York were crowded with shoppers and business men moving about swiftly on their auto-skates. Science and inventions had made wonderful progress in the past century. Street cars and automobiles had disappeared, the streets being one broad walk or roller boulevard. No curbings or stopping blocks interfered with their progress. the surface of the streets being perfectly flat and well cared for. Although it was snowing heavily no flakes fell on the street, as the accumulators, placed about thirty feet above the street level. absorbed them before they were able to pass. The clock had just struck nine when a young man entered one of the Aero Transport buildings. He was a tall, athletic ,young man, well along in his twen- ties, with fine, handsome features. He went over to the elevator, but as there was none down at the moment, he dropped into a seat to wait. Hello, Dickf, exclaimed a young man, who came up at that moment. VVhere have you been keeping yourself lately? I had given you up for dead. How is your latest achievement coming P How are you, George?'l replied Richard Wade, the well known scientist and inventor, and incidentally hero of the story. I have been pretty busy lately. with little time for social tete-a-tetes. I intend to give my apparatus a final try- out tonight. I lacked a few incidentals necessary in the oscillator and came down after them. By the way, can't you come out and witness the operation of the most wonderful piece of mechanism of the modern world? I have work- ed five years perfecting it, but feel confident of success. Specifications as to the nature and possibilities of the machine are already in the hands of the govern- Orange and Black Annual Page Thirty Six ment. lint here is the elevator. The two entered and on the way up to the top, one hundred and fifty stories above the street, George Sanderson, the friend and schoolinate of Dick Wade, heartily accepted the invitation of the latter. Arriving at the top they left the elevator and made their way to one of the fliers near by. It was a large car with planes extending outward on either side and a huge pair of propellors at the rear. The young men entered one of these and seating themselves in easy chairs provided, conversed on current topics. The car started without a jar, the motion being almost imperceptible as it glided into space. There were several wireless telephones Stationed in various places for the use of passengers, being enclosed in sound-proof booths. The car stopped about every fifteen minutes at some station and it was at one of these that the young men got out. The station was similar to the one up town, but could not accommodate as many fliers at a time, the building being much lower and smaller. Descending to the street they soon arrived at the home of the inventor, a large residence in the resident district of New York. Entering, they paused long enough to remove their wraps and moter skates before going up to Wacle's laboratory. The workshop of the inventor was located on the top fioor, a large, Spacious room with one end lined with books and roll charts, and a desk on one side, while several easy chairs stood in various places. The remainder of the room contained oddly shaped and complicated pieces of apparatus. Setting well to one side was a screen about eight feet square, made of a peculiar translucent substance. The room in general was extremely clean and neat in arrangement, all articlel having definite places, where the inventor would be able to find them at a mcment's notice. Amuse yourself the best you can, George, said Dick. It will take me a little time to get the machine in readiness. You will find books and maga- zines over by the desk. Thanks, but if you don't mind, I'll watch you. Electricity has always fascinated me, and I'll enjoy myself far more? just as you like, George, replied Dick, as he slipped on his overalls, I'll finish as soon as possible. lt was not more than three-quarters of an hour later when the inventor straightened up with a sigh of satisfaction. There, he exclaimed. I guess it's o. k. now. Will you help me shift this so that it will be directly in front of that screen? There! Thanks, now We are ready for the trial. George watched the young inventor with interest as he adjusted the various knobs and switches. Then turning out the lights he threw on a couple of switches, turned several more knobs and vague, indistinct images began to ap- pear on the screen. He adjusted and readjusted until finally there appeared as natural as life a picture of New York. But it was a moving picture as was evidenced by the lights of the aero cars darting here and there. After careful manipulation he was able to bring on large views o-f the surrounding country or merely a single person, so extremely perfect was the machine. VVhat do you think of it. asked Dick, bringing into view the streets of the city and the people gliding back and forth on various errands. lt's great, exclaimed George, enthusiastically, but it looks as tho we are with them. Well. we are, in a way. said Dick. This is a wireless apparatus, by means of which any part of the world can be brought on the screen and actual conversation take place between the parties in front of the screen and those ap- pearing on it. He now brought the Atlantic ocean on the screen. The huge airships car- rying passengers across the broad expanse of water, glided swiftly by with a soft purring noise. Large ships also sped swiftly thru the water, being pro- pelled by electricity, which was conducted to them by wireless plants stationed on both sides of the Atlantic. Orange and Black Annual Page Thirty-Seven THE STORIES The scene was quickly changed and Chicago lay before them. It was one hour earlier there and the gay throngs were making their way to the IIICHICTS- Dick paused just a moment over these and brought a large house on the Sicreell. but gradually as tho the walls were melting the interior lay before them. Seated in a large chair was a strikingly pretty girl. She had dark eyes and hair and was extremely dainty in appearance. That is my wife-to-be, said Dick in a rather embarrassed tone. I ought not spy on her in this manner, but I could not resist the temptation. I havent seen her for some time and--M Here he broke off with an exclamation of surprise mingled with anger, for a curtain had been pushed aside from one of the windows directly behind the girl and a hard cruel face peered in at the girl. George, said Dick quietly, You'll find an automatic revolver in the top drawer of my desk. VVill you get it for me, please ? Sanderson did as requested. and returned with the weapon. The man was now well in the room and glancing uneasily about, at the same time stealthily approaching the unsuspecting young lady. Dick took the weapon from George and going around to- the side of the screen so as to be directly behind the burg- lar, stepped into the light and apparently into the room. Hands up, cried Dick in an even tone. The burglar whirled and seeing the revolver, slowly raised his hands. The girl, hastily rising from her chair. looked in amazement' at the two men. VVill you call the police. Eleanor ? asked Dick. I'll keep my eye on this fellow so he doesn't do any mischief. Still puzzled, Eleanor VVainwright crossed to the wireless ,phone and quick- ly informed the police, then turning towards Dick she started towards him, but he motioned her back, telling her to wait until the police had gone and he would explain everything to her. She did as requested, and he told how the burglar had come in thru the window. Are you alone ? he inquired. anxiously. Yes, she replied. Father and mother went to the opera and the servants are all at a dance. I did not care to go out this evening, but wished to read awhile. I am glad you came just at this time. Here are the police. The bell had rung and going to the door she admitted the officers, who lis- tened to the account of the attmpted burglary, and then left with the prisoner in charge. ' 'fNow.,' said Eleanor. tell me how you happened to come at this most opportune momentf' He then told her that he was not actually there. and that it would be im- possible to touch each other. He described the machine and its marvelous pow- ers. and told how this was the one thing which had kept him away from her so long. To still further impress the greatness and wonderful power of his ma- chine to her he asked George Sanderson to step into the light. causing Eleanore to gasp in amazement. After she had fullv recovered from her astoni hment he introduced the young people. After the formalities had been dispensed with he said by wav of explanation, Ffleanore consented to become my wife and I shall go and claim my prize as soon as I can settle with the government for the sale of my invention. We have known each other for a long time. I am very glad to have met Miss Wainwright. exclaimed George gal- lantly. and congratulate Dick on his excellent choice. ' Thanks George. replied Dick. but I ,guess we had better vanish. It is getting late in New Vork. I will be up as soon as possible, Eleanoref' he said, addressing his bride-to-be. I shall be looking for vou.', she answered. and after bidding good-bv thev stepped out of the light. leaving Eleanore gazing in bewilderment at the spot where thev had apparently stood. tenderly throwing a kiss after Dick. Dick immediately went to the machine and switched it off. The two young Oranqe and Black Annual Pggp Thirty-Eight , Orange and Black Annual men then sought easy chairs and lighting cigars, settled down for a good talk. Man was progressing rapidly and efficiency in work and science reaching a maximum but love burned in the souls of men with the same unquenchable fire. What the years will bring forth God alone knows, but the modern mmd believes nothing to be impossible, and time itself will reveal new wonders undreamed of at the pres- ent time. R- H-, ,17- THE WAR BABY. It was a warm spring day in the year 1913. The buds were just shooting their green leaves from the trees, the grass was beginning to spring forth from the sott sod, the ,early birds were singing their respective carols as they flew from one treetop to another, the children were beginning to get restless in school and the farmers were preparing their lands for the coming crops. Everything was peaceful and quiet, and everybody was happy. The village of Mardeaux lay in the very midst of all this paradise. It was situated in Belgium, about two miles from the Netherland boundary. lt was tucked down between two large hills which were fast becoming green, and a little brook bounded by maple trees went gurgling past its edge. Little Marion Montey was herding cattle upon the side of one of these hills. She was a little girl about nine years old, and lived with her parents down in the village. Her father did truck gardening, while she and her mother ran a small dairy and sold milk to the richer class of the village. This little family was very happy in their home and wished for nothing. At last spring passed away and summer came with its warm winds and sultry sun and rippling rains. It was very hot in Belgium this particular summer, and Mr. lXlonty's crops all dried up and left the little cows as their only means of sustenance. They were optimistic, however, and managed to live comfortably. When fall came it was rumored that war was about to be declared because a Serbian had killed an Austrian nobleman. This did not cause much excitement in Belgium, because it did not concern them much, and war was rather a com- mon thing in that part of Europe. It was then, declared that Austria was mobi- lizing against Russia. This looked a little more serious, and put a darker aspect upon things. Then Germany declared war upon- Russia and France declared war upon Germany, together with England. VV ar was then the back-fence gos- sip of the housewives and the grocery store talk of the men. It looked as though all Europe was going to war. It appeared that the kaiser was hard pressed to find an outlet to put his armieson the water, so he decided to send them through Belgium. He did not understand why they should object. Belgium was such a small country, and Germany so powerful. Then that good King Albert and his cabinet declared war upon Germany. and began to mobilize his ,little armies of valiant defenders of their beloved little principality. Marion's father happened to be one of the National Guards. because he had served when he was younger, and it befell him to go with the firft of thcm. lt was a sad parting, because they knew that it was almost im- possible that they should ever see each other again. At last came the last kiss and the last goodbye and he boarded the train for Tlrussels. He was immediately sent to the frzont ranks to help hold the Germans hack. He was rather nervous when he Firft heard the large shells go screeching over his head and saw a comrade fall now and then. but he became hardened to it after a while. lt seemed almost impossible to hold those terrible Germans back: there were so manyof them and they were such scientific fighters. lt happened that he was one of the many in that blood-curdling battle of Flanders. He waded swamps. climbed trees, and did many other things that were anything but fun. The Germans kept coming on and on and on. Despite all the Delgians could do. the great mass of gray-suited heathens kept pushing them back. The Tielgians were becoming desperate. They could do nothing, no matter what thev tried. At last they came to one of the large irrigating ditches so common in Belgium. An order came to Narioifs father and several other men to open the flood Page Thirty-Nme gates. Overjoyed with the new idea they rushed to their places. One pull and the water rushed out in a mighty roar. All the neighboring lowlands were flooded and everything was carried off its feet. Cries of dying men and death shrieks of every living thing in the way of the unmerciful flood were all min- gled together into one awful blood-curdling heart-sickening wail. When the flood had all passed away not a living object was to be seen where it had passed. All the German trenches had been filled and even the big guns had been carried a great distance. This, however, did not stop the advance much. The Germans kept coming on in spite of everything. Becoming desperate the Belgians ordered Marion's father's regiment to charge a weak place in the German front line in hopes of stopping them. At the time set the whole regiment dashed wildly over their trenches. It was about twenty-five yards from one trench to the other and many were shot down in going over this. VVhen they reached the German trenches they drew their bayonets. Marion's father, almost mad with excitement and having no thought of danger, dashed up to a German and attempted to pierce him through. The German, however, was more evperienced and stuck his bayonet thru Montey's neck till it stuck eighteen inches on the other side. VVith one gurgle Montey fell into the German's trench running another bayonet thru himself which was leaning straight up against the trench. So there he lay in the trench of the enemy, the life-blood spurting out of the arteries in his neck and slowly oozing out of the veins in his back and mingling with the precious blood of his fallen comrades and enemies. That was the last of Montey. All this time Marion and her mother were barely living in the little village of Mordeaux. Both of their cows had been taken to feed the army and it was in the cold, bleak, stormy, windy unmerciful winter time. They were always wondering how their loved one was faring. They only received two letters from him and then he could not put his address upon the letter. At last they received the awful news. It came in the shape of a little brass dfsc with a num- ber on it, which was the loved one's number, with the words Killed on the Field of Honor written on the back. There was weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth in the Montey household that night, but when daylight came they slowly began to see the brighter side of things. Belgium was hopelesslv beaten. but maybe a brighter day would come some time. They hoped it Would. at any rate. The Germans had taken possession of the town and had put it under a very strict military rule. The women and children were treated almost like slaves and were not allowed any privileges. At last it became known that Women were being transported to Germany to help make ammunition and Mrs. Montey was forced to leave her home and go with many other women, while Marion, unaware of the proceedings, was left behind amid the desolate ruins of her native home. One unusually bright day in a German munition factory, the sad mother. while making shrapnel, for- got herself and carried some nitro-glycerine too close to a furnace. That was the last of Mrs. Montey. Wlieii the lonely little Marion could find no mother who coull soo-the her frightened mind, her little heart began to fear and she trembled with drea'l and anxiety. On the second darksome night she started for a neighborls to find her loved one, not knowing or having the lea't idea of her whereabouts. She threw a cape around herself and not knowing where to go she walked towards a large bridge which spanned a river about a half mile away. As she was standing here watching the melting ice go crashing beneath, a regiment of lk-lgian soldiers went past. They seemed to be in a hurry and difl not notice Marion. She heard one of them sav that some way they must stop the German advance for a few hours. VVhen they reached the other end of the bridge one of the men lit some dynamite and threw it far out unrler the bridge. There was an loud explosion and the little War Baby sprouted wings and is now enjoying peace and quiet in a much nicer Paradise. F. M. KI7. Orange and Black Annual Page Fort!!

To prevent another currency panic the Federal Reserve Banking System keeps on hand an immense supply of currency to furnish the banks which belong to the system of which we are one, so that they may at all times meet the currency requirements of their depositors. Doesn't it appeal to you to get it's protection without cost, by be- coming one ot our depositors? 14' I R ST BI AT I O Nik L BBAN K v Member Federal Reserve System Orange and Black Annual Page Fihp-One JOICES Conrad K.

The night was stormy but a goodly num- ber ventured out and were fully repaid. On arriving the guests were given a program at the door by little June Norris who hopes some day to be a graduate of the high school but who is already en- thusiastic over the Association. The guests then went down stairs to the spacious gymnasium which had been tastely decorated with Star Spangled Banners and the flags of the Allies. and where they were welcomed by the reception committee of Mrs. I. C. Maust, May Maddox, J. R. Simanton, Mrs. C. P. Fordyce and James Ja- quet. On two walls were hung the class flags of 1908, 1909, 1910, 1911 and 1913, which brought back to the memory of many the flag fights of the past. 'Ihe ceiling was a canopy of red, white and blue streamers. On one side of the hall were hung the class pictures from 1886 to 1917 with but few exceptions. The older members lingered long after the program was over, gazing upon the pictures of their former school-mates, some of whom have gone to their reward. After the guests had assembled, Virgil Falloon president of the Association, told of the aim and purpose of the association audi welcomed the graduating class to membership. E. 0. Lewis '80, gave a very interesting talk about the old days, saying he could tell what he pleased as no one could question him without giving away their age. The numbers by the Alumni Quartette. D. D. Reavis, '85, E. H. Towle, '87, Mrs. E. K. Hurst, '06, and Grace Reavis, '11, were especially good. Mrs, Blanch Maust '87 told of Thirty Years Ago in a pleasing manner, relat- ing the many experiences of her class and the success the members had attained in later life. Mrs. Frank Uhlig, '97, told of Twenty Years Ago giving many instances of school life at that time. Kathryn Meliza, '08, rendered an excellent instrumental solo at this time. James Jaquet, '07, then related many amusing experiences of school life. He told of the pecularities of the first music teacher and little incidents of school life His speech was enjoyed immensely and aroused the enthusiasm of the ass emblage by his reference the national flag and that of the Allies. Wesley Delaney '17, responded to Now and told of the ambitions of the garduates. Mre. W. B. Julian, '91, gave an excellent reading and responded to an encore. Refreshments were served buffet style. The meeting was attended by about one hundred and thirty Alumni and was thoroughly enjoyed. Nearly every class was represented. Among the out of town alumni were John Towle, '89, of Omaha, Mrs. W. B. Julian, Long Beach, California: Mrs. Lee Huber, '03, of Wolf's Point, Montana and Miss Fannie Beaver, '09, of St. Anthony, Idaho. Orange and Black Annz-ml Page Fifty Six I. M.
