We think and hope it will serve its purpose, which is to treasure up the scenes, faces and events of our High School days, and to give to the world outside more information about the school we have come to love. The staff has done its best to make this book a success. We do not contend that it is a masterpiece, for we are aware of many mistakes. We can only hope that the succeeding staff may profit by our experience. imnii'uiiwnmiiiMXMfi iHwiauaiMHDtu! iinmiiiUoeuMJiminan' manic rage Two ORANGE AND BLACK Published by the Students of the Falls City High School 1918 1919 Falls City, Nebraska Mils CITY 111(111 SCHOOL lu 'i.mni inant.pnmnM:i: mmmmmmmmmmimmmmmcmmpmmmmtmmmmtmmmmmmmtammKm DEDICA riON 'The members of the balls City High School respectively dedicate this volume to Superintendent B.

Page Twenty-one FALLS CITY HICH SCHOOL History of the Class of ’ 19 The sixth day of September, nineteen hundred fifteen, was an eventful day for the Falls City High School. Upon that day the class of nineteen hundred nineteen, then composed of some seventy green freshies, entered its doors. Thanks to some of the kind Seniors we had little trouble in making out our schedules. As usual, some of us Freshmen were rather mixed-up in our classes, but as a whole we did fine. On September fifteenth we held our first class meeting. At this time, class officers for the year were elected as follows: Vertie Harper, President; Halcyon Whitford, Vice-President; Maude Reese. Secretary and Treasurer; and Wallace Abbey, as representative on the Board of Control of the Orange and Black. Class colors of purple and white were also chosen at this meeting. Miss Rough was appointed our sponsor, anti we will always feel that this was a favor bestowed upon us by the Faculty. In October, the Sophomores gave us a reception in the Gymnasium. Some of our classmates arrived late, owing to the fact that some Seniors thot a little car ride before the reception would do them good. All of us agreed that we were royally entertained, even tho some of us did get frightened when we were initiated into the fraternal order of the F. C. H. S. We attempted to show our appreciation to the Sophomores by giving them a weiner roast later in the fall. This took place on the “Old North School grounds, and we were sure a “peppy” crowd. The faculty arrived rather late, but someone had saved some “eats for them. Will we ever forget those sticky marshmallows which were strewn all over our faces and the school grounds???? Valentine evening, we took a long sleigh ride. It was cold, we’ll admit, and some of us tumbled off into the snow a good many times. After the ride, we partook of good, warm “eats” in the Domestic Science Rooms. March thirty-first, we gave an April-Fool Party in the Gymnasium. Again some of the boys were late— same old story—Seniors took them riding. As Freshmen, we took little part in the Athletics of the school. However, it was during this first year that Dewey Hoy started upon his athletic career. He was substitute on both the first football and basketball teams. Maude Reese substituted on the girls’ basketball team. In September of nineteen hundred sixteen, about sixty of us came back to F. C. H. S.. not as Freshmen, but as Sophomores. We chose Mr. Beaver, our principal, for sponsor and those chosen for class officers were: Maude Reese, President; Charles McManus. Vice-President; and Bernice Misson. Secretary and Treasurer. This year, green and white were chosen as class colors. Before the end of the first semester, Maude had to stop school on account of poor health, and Roy Scott was chosen to fill the vacancy. In October, we gave a reception for the Freshmen. Everyone pronounced the initiation stunts, “eats,” decorations. n' everything the best yet. Later in the year we held a party at Rosina Brecht’s home and everyone had a fine time. We had one good picnic at Hinton’s Park in the early spring. Did the usual picnic stunts, such as roaming thru the woods, fishing, picking flowers, and “feeding our faces.” Our class furnished four of the football stars on the 1917 team. They were: Dewey Hoy, Glenn Hughes. John Whetstine. and Wallace Abbey and we were surely proud of them. Five of our men went out for track and made good, some of them even brot home medals from Tarkio. Our track men were: Dewey. Glenn. John. Vertie, and Lloyd Hahn. The girls had a real good class basketball team, but the Seniors defeated them in the class tournament. Page Twenty-Two Our Junior year started with lots of “pep” and class spirit altho our number was somewhat diminished. Our class-mate, Alvin Farlow, had enlisted in the navy and the others had left us for various reasons. Our 1917 sponsor, Mr. Beaver, whom we had hoped to have with us again, had enlisted in the army during vacation, so Miss Gui nea was chosen as our sponsor. Class officers selected for the year were: Halcyon Whitford. President; Wallace Abbey, Vice-President: Ray Gantt, Secretary and Tieasurer. Ray found it necessary to resign, and Wilbur Story was chosen to fill the office. We had two good weiner roasts with the Seniors during the fall, and a Christmas party with them in the Gymnasium. We soon grew to be at ease in their presence. and a number of friendships (?) blossomed forth. In November we chose our class pins and rings, and this proved a favorable investment. We have failed, so far, to find their equal. We will always look back upon our Junior year as one of our best, not only because of the good times we had, but because of its connection with the war and the ways in which we tried to do our bit. We purchased a Liberty Bond in the Third Loan Drive, donated ten dollars to the Y. M. ( A. and became members of the Junior and Senior Red Cross. We assisted Mr. Hoover at the time of our Junior-Senior affair, by giving the Seniors a reception instead of a banquet. On that eventful night, in May. we gave them a play as the first part of the evening’s entertainment. The title was: “Lost, a Chaperon!” We hope they enjoyed it. After the play, they were taken to the Gymnasium which was tastefully decorated, and there they were served LIGHT refreshments. During our Junior Year, we were well represented in athletics. Dewey Hoy. John Whetstine, Wallace Abbey, Tom Frehse, Ted Mosiman. and Glenn Hughes played on the football team and we feel sure that it was thru their efforts that many of the victories were won. John. Dewey, and Tom were also stars on the basketball team. Page Twenty-three OKA sat: D IfLACK. HUN-HUH The second day of September. 1918, we returned to the High School for our last year within its walls. We were then forty-three strong which is probably the largest Senior Class which ever attended F. C. H. S. and also the best.” A number of new members have joined us, Janice Bowers comes from the Verdon High School to finish the 12th year; George Sheehan from Salem High School, and Vera McKenney and Louise Roth from the High School of Shubert. At one of our first class meetings, class officers were chosen as follows : Ray Gantt, President ; Halcyon Whit-ford. Vice-President; Bernice Misson, Secretary and Treasurer; John Cameron, Sergeant-at-Arms. Miss Leyda was appointed our class sponsor, but she left us in October. Then Miss Koester was appointed our sponsor. We decided to keep the class colors we had held for the last two years, green and white.” One warm fall day we went on a jolly good picnic to old Hinton’s Park. This was a Junior-Senior affair, that is, we gave it for the Juniors as a “get acquainted good time. We enjoyed ourselves and we hope the Juniors did too. At a class meeting in October, after much discussion, we decided upon our graduation invitations. Early in October, school was closed on account of the “flu. We Seniors were disappointed in having our Senior year so badly broken up. but it was unavoidable, and we were very thankful that our classmates were so lucky in escaping the flu.” We returned to school December sixteenth, and it seemed so good to be back in old F. C. H. S. It took us a day or so to get our studies straightened out but everything was soon in running order again. We had many stars on the football team this year and they did splendid work. Seniors represented were: Wallace Abbey. Ted Mosiman, Glenn Hughes. Dewey Hoy (Captain). John Whetstine and Tom Frehse. The second semester opened February twenty-fourth. iwi.i.s city men sc non i, At this time, we took into our class a new member, namely. Ralph Hammond from Lincoln High School. In February, the Board of Control of the Orange and Black was chosen. Our class is represented on this board by: Maude Reese. Bernice Misson. Halcyon Whitford. Wallace Abbey, and Ray Gantt. A number of our classmen are also on the staff. The Seniors gave good support to the basketball teams, in spite of the fact that the “flu” ban kept us from having many games. Class members on the boys' team were: John. Dewey. Tom and Ted. On the girls’ team were: Janice Bowers, Edith Heaston. Kosina Brecht and Ruth Ernst. We are indeed proud of these people. In April, after many postponements, we gave a cafeteria picnic for the school as a whole. It was not only a picnic, but a rally and a real “pep” meeting. At this time there is a great deal of mysterious talk of the ”S. S. S.” I suppose we will be allowed to tell that those letters stand for the “Silly Senior Sircus. which is to pitch its tents and give its performance in the P. C. H. S. in the early pari of May. May and June will be busy times for us with our Senior play, class day exercises, baccalaureate service, graduation and the many other functions. They will be happy days, but at the same time sad ones, for it is with deepest regret that each one of us leaves dear old F. ( H. S. We have tried to do the right thing by our school and we hope that, though gone, the ('lass of 1919 will not be forgotten. We want to thank the Faculty for the interest and patience they have manifested in our behalf, during our school career. It is also with regret that we leave them and our friends of the under-classes. This is the extent of ‘he history of the ('lass of 1919. but we feel that it is a record of which to be proud. Page Twenty-four OU.WUK I Mt HLM'K. IWS-WW The Last Will and Testament of the Class of 1919 Ladies and Gentlemen. Hoard of Education. Superintendent. Teachers and Friends: Upon behalf of my client, the class of 1919. of Falls City High School, of the City of Falls City, State of Nebraska. U. S. A.. I have called you together upon this solemn and serious occasion, to listen to her last will and testament, and to receive from her dying hand the few gifts she has to bestow in her last moments. Cutting so rapidly loose from life, and finding so many things of such gigantic proportions to be attended to before the end should come upon her, realizing at the same time that she had no longer any time left to spend in cultivation of her own virtues, she did collectively and individually, deem it best to distribute these virtues with her own hands to those friends to whose needs they seem best fitted. As a result of this announcement, a wild scene took place amidst most frantic pleading and scrambling among her friends for this or that so long coveted glory; but she has tried to be just, as well as generous and impartial, and distribute wisely unto those who will make the best use of such gifts as she has in her power to bestow, the talents that have served her so faithfully these four years. These are her decisions as at last definitely arrived at thru very deliberate consideration. Owing to the flighty condition of her brain, and the unusual disturbance in its gray matter, she begs me to state for her that she may quite possibly have been mistaken in her inventory; but such things as she thinks she has, she hereby gives into your possession, praying that you will accept them as a sacred trust from one who has gone before. Listen, then, one and all. while I read the document, as duly drawn up and sworn to:— We. the Class of 1919, in forty-four individual and distinct parts, being about to pass out of this sphere of education, of full possession of a crammed mind, well-trained memory, and almost super human understanding, do make and publish this, our last will and testament, hereby revoking and making void all former wills or promises by us at any time heretofore made, or mayhap, carelessly spoken, one to the other, as the t hot less wish of an idle hour. And first, we do direct that our funeral services shall be conducted by our friends and well-wishers, our Superintendent and his Faculty, who have been our guardians. only asking as the last injunction of the dying, that the funeral be carried on with all the dignity and pomp that our worth, our merit, our attainments and our positions as Seniors of grave and reverend mien.” must certainly have deserved. As to such estate as it has pleased the fates and our own strong hands and brains to win for us. we do dispose of the same as follows: I. Item: We give and bequeath to Faculty, who have been our instructors in all the wdsdom of the ages, a sweet and unbroken succession of restful nights and peaceful dreams. No longer need they lie awake thru the long watch of the night to worry over the uncertainty of whether this one is doing his night work, or that one will have all his mathematics in the morning class, or the other one will remember every iron-clad rule of compositional technique in the preparation of his theme. It has been a hard strain on them, for Seniors are said to be at all times and under all conditions, difficult to manage. But they have done their duty, and verily, now' shall have their wrell-earned reward. Page Tw’enty-flve FALLS CITY HIGH SCHOOL II. Item: We give anti bequeath to Superintendent Groves, our sincere affection, our deepest reverence, our heartiest gratitude. and the whole unlimited wealth of our eternal memory. In an attempt at partial payment for all that he has done for us during our long years at Falls City High, we make over to him, here and now. a heavy mortgage on our future in the great unknown beyond. It shall be his to watch every step of our upward and onward flitting —to note each trial, each attempt, each victory, each success and honor that we may achieve in the arena of the world—and to accept for himself, as interest on our deathless debt, every ounce of the praise, every iota of the honor, knowing that it is all due to his faithful supervision. III. Item: Again, we bequeath to our beloved Faculty all the amazing knowledge and startling information that we have furnished them from time to time in our various examination papers. We know that much which we have imparted to them in this way must have been entirely new to them, as well as to all teachers and students everywhere, and would throw much new light on many a hitherto familiar line of thot, thruout the whole world of science and learning, even outside the halls and walls of Falls City High School. If the Faculty sees fit. they are thereby authorized to give out such of this information to the world as they may feel the world is ready to receive. We trust they will also feel at perfect liberty to make use of all such bits of wisdom and enlightenments for the education of the classes to come after us. This, of course, is left entirely to their personal discretion. IV'. Item: We give and bequeath to the two local papers of Falls City all the events of our lives, past, present, and those to come, with all the wonders, sensations, hairbreadth escapes, glorious attainments, and other deserved or undeserved notoriety and fame with which we may have been, or may hereafter be associated, trusting that they may furnish plenty of material for news items and brilliant editorials for ages yet to come, and serve as an inspiration for those younger students who so naturally look to us for examples. V. Item: We give and bequeath to the Junior Class all such boys as were not able to keep pace with such brilliant students as compose the majority of our class, trusting that the Junior girls may be able to hold firmly to them and steer them firmly next year thru the gates of commencement. VI. Item: We likewise give and bequeath to this same Junior Class, as a student body. John Cameron’s knowledge of literature, art, philosophy, history and the universe in whole or In part. We trust the class may be able to survive it. VII. Item: The following may seem but trifling bequests, but we hope they may be accepted, not as worthless things lavishly thrown away because we can no longer keep them, but as valuable assets to those who may receive them, and a continual reminder of the generosity of heart displayed in our free and full bestowal: 1. To our sponsor. Miss Koester. the profound admiration and ever-enduring friendship of the Class of 1919, in individual as well as collective manifestation. 2. To the football team of next year; the ability of Tom Freshe. John Whetstine. Ted Mosiman. and Charles Nutter. We couldn’t induce Dewey Hoy to surrender his. Page Twenty-six 3.

The subjoined list will be recognized as entailed estates to which we do declare the Class of 1920 the real and rightful successors: 1. Our seats in assembly room. May they endeavor to fill them as advantageously, as promptly and as faithfully as we have done. Our seats in the class rooms may be taken by whosoever is able to grab them first. falls city men school 2. Our Senior dignity. May they uphold it forever, with all seriousness and gravity, endeavoring to realize its vast importance, in spite of their natural light-mindedness and irresponsibility. 3. Any stubs of pencils, erasers or scraps of paper that we may inadvertently leave behind us in the excitement and haste of gathering up our cherished treasures for the last time. May they feel free to make use of them, and feel, perhaps, that they may. in some mystic way, impart some of our great knowledge to them. Last comes the one thing hard for us to part with. To our successors we must leave our places in the hearts and thots of our Principal. Mr. Britton, and the teachers. They will love them, unworthy as we feel they are. even as they have loved us; they will show them all the same tender kindness and attention that they have bestowed uiK)n us. they will feel the same interest in their attempts and successes: the same sorrow when they fail. We trust that the Class of 1920 will appreciate all this as deeply as we have done, that it may be their most precious possession, as it has been ours, and the one we are most loath to hand over to them. Besides these enforced gifts, we leave—not of necessity, but our own free will—our blessing, tender memories of our pleasant associations together, and our forgiveness for anything that we may not have exactly appreciated in the demonstrations of the past, and a pledge of friendship from henceforth and forever. All the rest and residue of our property, whatsoever and wheresoever, of what nature, kind and quality soever it may be. and not herein disposed of (after paying our debts and funeral expenses), we give and bequest to our beloved Principal, for his use and benefits absolutely, and to be disposed of for the good of the coming classes as he may see fit. And we do hereby constitute and appoint the said Principal sole executor of this, our last will and testament. In witness whereof, We, the Class of 1919, the testators, have to this our will, written on one sheet of parchment, set our hands and seal this thirtieth day of May, Anno Domini, one thousand nine hundred and nineteen. R. E. H.. ’19. Page Twenty-eight OR.Win: I l) RLACK. Prophecy of the Class of ’ I 9 Listen, () ye men and women, youths and maidens and little children! Listen all ye people of Falls City, to the words of wisdom from the lips of your prophetess, who now speaketh unto you. what hath been revealed unto her, even as it hath been decreed by the powers that be! For it has come to pass that the veil of the future hath been rent in twain, even as it was rent in the days of the wise prophets of old and the Spirit of Prophecy hath descended from the sphere to envelop her soul with its mystic power. Aye, I say unto you. men and women, youth and maidens and little children of Falls City, it hath been given unto me as the chosen one of this great and good people, the Class of 1919 to dream strange dreams and to see strange visions of the glories of the years yet to come. Now it so happened when it was decreed that the future of the Class of 1919 was to be given into the hands of this, your prophetess to do with as she listed, that she cried out in a loud voice of lamentation saying. Who am I that the future o! this great and glorious class should depend upon me? What am I that the fate of these most fair and beautiful damsels and these most sturdy and noble and manly of youths should rest upon the decision of one so humble of intellect and so infirm of purpose?” But behold! even as the cry of weakness did ascend from the long-suffering soul of your prophetess a being from the heavens spake unto her even in the words of old saying, “Hear now my words. If there be a prophet among you. I will make myself known unto her in a vision and will speak unto her in a dream,” and straightway from the clouds of the centuries gone, and from the shadows already “cast before by the coming events of the proverb, there appeared unto me the fair and lovely Spirit of Prophecy, the Angel of Things to come, and lo! she did with her magic touch roll back the curtain of the dim beyond from before my prophetic vision and did permit me to gaze at will down the vista of things yet to be. that I mig!.� behold all things that now are transformed into all things that they shall yet become, even as it was granted to the wise men of the past. And lo! as she drew’ back the curtain she pointed with a long transparent finger down the avenue of a strange land and opened her lips and spake unto me saying, Look! Listen! Prophesy unto the young men and young women of Falls City High School even these things which you herein behold — So even as St. John, the divine, said unto the world, so I. your prophet of the Class of 1919, do say unto the people of the audience, in this twentieth century, Blessed be she that readeth, and they that hear the words of the prophecy, and keep these things which are written therein; for the time is at hand.” And it came to pass that the veil before mine eyes grew more and more thin thru the intensity of my vision and behold I could see them even as if the intervening years were not at all:— I was in a mammoth city—great skyscrapers all about me, aeroplanes thru all the air. I could scarce believe my senses w'hen I sawf the airship line bore the well known name of Falls City and the same name gleamed from each sign. My eyes were opened wider than they’d ever been before when I saw a slip of paper dated 1929. While I was puzzling over this marvelous surprise I beheld near me a lady whom I thot to accost and question. As she approached I thot I had seen that face somewhere else—yet could not exactly place it. But when she stood before me wonder vanished and I recognized my old friend. Jennie Pearle Stumbo. It was strange that I should recog- Pagc Twenty-n'.ne FALLS CITY IIKill SCHOOL nize her for she was much changed. She was very tall and slendei and moved with queenly state. She seemed quite surprised to see me and invited me to remain with her that day. I accepted her kind offer and she hailed a flying car which we boarded, skimming swiftly thru the ether. 1 watched the conductoress closely twas a short, stout lady fully able to assist the passengers in and out. As she took my fare she knew me and 1 recognized Edith Shepard. Sitting in the car was Duke toying with a small poodle. Why ’twas Tom Fieshe—I scarcely would have known him. Soon we flitted past a corner that looked like old times to me for it was the corner where our high school used to be. Now there stood a factory, twenty stories high. As we were passing by I noticed a small fish-stand and behind the greasy counter stood our old friend Wilbur Story, shouting “fish!” with all his might. A little distance further I noticed a large city administration building and sitting in the office of the mayor was the first woman mayor, our classmate Nelle Heaston. We passed a large, beautiful school of learning, the high school building, and looking in we saw a noble professor before his class. The pupils looked at him in reverence of the vast learning he had asquired at F. 0. H. S. and then I saw it was Professor Elmer Gerhardt of Class of ’19. Jennie Pearle and I went to her home for a little while before exploring the reel of the old town but I didn’t see her husband because she said he went out each morning in his Hudson to over-see the farm-work. While resting 1 noticed two happy wives exchanging confidences over the back fence, as to the number of chickens, the quantity of cherries each had put up, the troubles with servants, et cetera, and even in their marriage I saw could never be divided the girls who were Sherlie Whitaker and Helene Morris. Jennie Pearle proposed that we go around the city and see the many changes which had taken place, so we started toward the eastern part of the city—I found myself near a large Cathedral where a stately Priest in his robes of dignity poured forth words of inspired instruction and I recognized my classmate. John Whetstine. who had always been famed for his placid meekness. Close by. in the beautiful surroundings of the Convent, was a fair lady who had been disappointed in some love affair, and had become a nun. She was devoting her life to going about doing good to all the world. Her name was lost now for she was called “Sister Maria.” but I saw her and she had once been Catherine Scott. As we wandered on I saw the door of a home swing open and therein a household made happy by a wife who had found her greatest ambition in the highest of all worldly vocations—the maker and keeper of the home. My soul rejoiced as I gazed upon Shirley Griffin. We went down into the vast business section the streets were crowded and people hurried to-and-fro. We were stopped at the corner of 12th and Stone to allow the cars to go by. The traffic-cop came to assist us across the street and whom did 1 see but Conrad Knapp. In a large building of beautiful structure, I saw the name of Roy Scott. So I went to his spacious office. When shown in I saw a man of pale, beardless face and velvety voice, who had become the money-king of the world by his shrewdness and fore-sight. A newsboy ran down the street—what was he shouting? I listened. Oh, Yes! “Extra! Extra! All about the big battle! American forces led to victory by gallant soldier. hero of the hour! Read all about General Hoy!” We passed a home and 1 saw a huge corpulent woman. Jennie Pearle said that it was Ollie, who had grown so heavy that she could not be induced, persuaded nor bribed to eat anything but anti-fat. Now I saw an immense bill board and imagine my surprise when I read “A second Melba—greatest opera singer of the day—hear Madamoiselle Halbert at the Met- I’age Thirty ropolitan tonight.” Then on another bill-board appeared “Madame Lovelace Henderson, the wonderful and talented musician, will appear for the first time in America with Madamoiselle Halbert at the Metropolitan. Oh! I saw the most pitiful sight, a woman in deep mourning probably mourning her husband’s death. Then someone whispered I was mistaken, for t’was only a fair bride, whose name was once Maude Reese, weeping the loss of her pet cat. On a crowded corner were some Salvation Army officers conducting their meeting. I recognized Visna Rieger as the president and manager. She and Ted Mosiman conducted the musical part of the street performances, while Louise Roth preached and converted sinners. Jennie Pearle told me of Pete McManus, the eminent physician and surgeon at the head of Falls City Lutheran Hospital, whose prominence even exceeded that of Mayo Brothers. We then took a plane and went down to what was once Hinton’s Park, where we always had all of our F. C. H. S. picnics. It was no longer a park but a huge motion picture studio. It was very successful and produced many pictures a year—the Nemeha's beautiful scenery was used to gieat advantage. I was presented to the manager and when 1 heard the name Sheehan I asked him if he knew George, who was an old classmate of mine. He began to laugh and I realized it must be he to whom I was speaking. He had changed wonderfully from the boy whom I knew in school. He told me that after managing the Senior play “Esmeralda” so successfully in 1919. that he was offered several positions and finally had gone into the business and had risen to the top at once. He spoke of Hammond, and I remembered seeing him several years previous as the matinee idol of Paris. George said Ralph had left the stage to produce motion pictures. We returned in our plane and 1 was horrified to see my old friend. Janice Bowers, a woman of strong mind strong will and stronger temper, lecturing in the crowded Pag Thirty-one oitw n: t v mack, iuisjuiu auditorium on a strong subject—an old maid, demonstrating her independence of man. I felt I must be getting on with my journey so we got out at the Union Station. While I was waiting for my plane. I saw a very beautiful young lady in a blue uniform, crying at the top of her voice, “Peanuts, pop-corn, chewing-gum.” Imagine my surprise to see Edith Heaston, because my last news of her had been of her marriage in Ix s Angeles to a multi-millionaire of some three score years and ten. We talked for only a few moments because I had to take my plane. We stopped in Straus-ville. a very prosperous city, and I saw Leon Shaw, who was proprietor of an up-to-date candy kitchen there. My plane carried me over many towns and villages, rivers and mountains and soon I found myself gazing upon a plain of wilderness and vatness where Mary Merritt—a pioneer was riding bare-back over the broad spaces and writing novels in her leisure hours. Going farther, I saw John A. Cameron, a cowboy in the wilds of the wooly-west, of great and wonderful bravery and physical endurance, feeding upon the very husks that cows won’t eat and even upon Frances’ biscuits, when he was feeling especially well. I stopped in a large city at the studio of Charles Nutter, who was fast becoming America’s foremost artist. Hut it is not surprising when his picture were inspired by his beautiful titian-haired model. Laurena Rieschick. Near by was the office of Professor Cox, the poet who had formed the new meter. I learned that his bust was in Westminster Abbey in the American group of honored literary men. I found Vera McKinney very much in love with Somebody or other, in someplace or other, and she was even tempted to think about getting married. I saw Miss Koester, who had never had a beau in all her life, strolling down Lover’s Lane in Battle Creek with a Handsome Prince Charming. Ruth Ernst was at Columbia University, not changed falls (’ll) men school in the least, altho she was the head of Physical Education Department. Traveling South I saw’ Clara May, a renowned Y. W. C. A. worker, doing splendid philanthropic things in Alabama. My plane carried me over many seas and countries, and I found myself watching Bernice and Kay Gantt, who had founded a new religion, according to their own views and beliefs. As foreign missionaries, they had carried their doctrines to the cannibals of the jungles of Africa, who accepted it readily. I next visited a most beautiful scene in a Bachelor Girl apartment in Paris where two sat by a large fireplace talking of the past. They were Elsie Ball and Opal Nichols. In the same apartment was Mary Stockman, now a famous violinist. She was calling forth sweet strains from her polished instrument while Rosina Brecht danced a jig in delightful tune to the music, her figure swaying from side to side at the appeal of the fantastic air. Again 1 was on my way traveling ever northward, until I came to the island of Greenland where I saw Florence and Wallace Abbey keeping a tea room and curio shop and selling old relics and chromos to the unsuspecting natives for immense sums of money. 1 was taken to their beautiful home—and as 1 was very tired from my journey 1 withdrew for an hour or two of rest I slept long and soundly and imagine my surprise when I opened my eyes and found myself in the same assembly room I had sat in so long ago, before I started on the prophetic search for things yet to come—I sprang up and looked out of the window7. Yes. it was the same old town with the court house in flames and all the students in the assembly room much excited. But my dream had been so life-like that I could not forget it. Twas nothing but a dream, however natural and real it seems to you. But in this old world of wonders, dreams often times come true. So who knows but my vision may be realized by you? HALCYON WHITFORD, ’19. Page Thirty-two OI(A.sat: AM) BLACK. IH18-JH1V PpHE readers of this book are greatly indebted to the class of nineteen hundred and nineteen. That organization gratuitously presented the Orange and Black management with the hundred dollars in e liberty bonds to aid in the publication of the book. C. We, the Orange and Black staff, in behalf of the student body which we represent, do hereby express our sincere appreciation of such action.

C, Let this volume of the Orange and Black commemorate to every reader the class of nineteen hundred and nineteen, which aided so materially in its publication. Page Thirty-thr FALLS CITY lUCH SCHOOL Ed Were we heading this paragraph we might call it no conformity for conformity’s sake.” There is a state where the individual works out his own salvation, not depending for his views upon another, nor denying to that other the same privilege; this is the point where the individual, with highly developed initiative, is enabled most completely to enlarge his function in society. Time and again when it was to our advantage to go through with something by ourselves, or when we could have profitably dispensed with some mere waste of time or resources, we have spine-lessly gone with the crowd, and we have caught others doing the same thing. In every phase of school life this is the cause of failure, simply the inability to manage ones own affairs irrespective of criticism. When one person is unaffected himself, he always seems to make good in the end. Wouldn’t such a plan work for us, too? One of the things which we wish to suggest is the value of solitude. With no desire to minimize the value of friends and intimates, we feel that we have not given sufficient place to the habit of spending some time alone. Some persons, it seems, are afraid to be left to themselves, recognizing within so little fruit for mental occupation, but the cultured man. when alone, can be frank and honest to a degree unapproached in company. It is in silence that ideas are formulated, and personal battles fought through to decision. The custom of some frequent or stated period in which to think by ones self is a habit the formation of which should not be postponed. In considering some phrase to epitomize a constructive program for another year, we have decided upon the familiar term co-operation.” litonal First we would urge the co-operation of student with student. Team-play” is not a bad translation of the word. Confidence of and in the other members of the squad is a leading factor in success. Each member must strive toward a greater effort, to profit by every failure, and to induce a keen but friendly competition. Self respect and respect for others are essentials. Example is an important thing, and the responsibility of examples rests upon the leaders. These are some of the things that compel everyone to do his best. A real team spirit will improve the general efficiency of play, and that of each member will be a reflection of it. Efficiency of scholarship depends upon what is required by the general ti ne. A second phase in which co-operation could play a saving part is that of the social side of our school life. When we sullenly remark that things are dull and that there is not enough doing, upon whom should we place the blame. It rather seems that each of us has his or her share of the blame, due to lack of working together in a commonplace way for a general good time. Lastly, we could consider the possibilities of student co-operation with the Faculty. As to our Faculty, we should have attained a point where driving is unnecessary. Our teachers are with us in the capacity of counsellors and leaders. When we discard the idea that we perform tasks for some teacher and realize that we are in business for ourselves, we have become students. Our teachers are with us to help us. and the degree of success attained can be regulated to quite an extent by the character of our co-operation with them. I age Thirty-Four OKAXUE AX It HLACK.

But as soon as we had become accustomed to the daily routine of the schoo thanks to the teachers and the upper classmen, we began to branch out into the various activities. The first step was that of organizing the class and at the first class meeting we elected the following officers: Francis Yoder. President; Ben Morgan. Vice-President; Fred Whitaker. Secretary, and Mildred Brown. Treasurer. We feel that as Freshmen we have made a good record this year. We have an active member on the Orange and Black board. Two of our members. Karl Sharritt and Louie Rhoades, were on the football squad last fall. Also several of our members are out for both baseball and track. Although we cannot make a stellar showing against our more experienced opponents, yet we are doing our bit in athletics and other lines of school activities. Another interesting part of our journey was the Sophomore-Freshmen Party which was held September 17. After the initiation given to us at the hands of our supposed superiors, we felt that we were really members of the High School. Because of the flu conditions, we were not able to return this party until March the 7th. at which time we entertained the Sophomores at a Saint Patrick’s Day Party. Since this part of our journey has been so pleasant, we now look forward to the next. We realize that much of this year’s success is the result of the help given us by the Faculty. Therefore we wish to express our sincere thanks to them. We are especially indebted to Miss Min ford, our Class sponsor, for her efforts in our behalf have gained results.

We congratulated ourselves in the fall of 1918 when we became distinguished Sophomores. With a room full of wide-awake Sophomores, each one supporting his particular choice for an office, the selection of officers for the year took place. When the votes had been counted, the wishes of the class were disclosed as follows: ’arl Hoffman. President; Dean Alexander. Vice-President, and Audrey Wheeler. Secretary and Treasurer. The class considers itself exceptionally fortunate in having .Miss Rankin as (Mass Advisor. The Sophomores, true to their color, have by no means neglected athletics. Two of our members. Russell Pollard and ( arl Hoffman, were on the football team, and the latter was also a member of the basketball team. On the girls basketball team we were exceedingly well represented by Grace Keim, the best center the girls have developed for years, and Audrey Wheeler, who is a wonder at the indoor sport. Baseball was also taken up by several members of the class. On one occasion our girls’ team challenged the girls of the other three classes combined. Although our High School life is young, yet we have already contributed helpfully to the athletic life of the school. As a duty of patriotism to our country we purchased last year a Fifty Dollar Liberty Bond, thereby forfeiting several joyous occasions. Early in the fall, the Sophomores realized that the Freshmen needed a little “brushing up. so we gave them a reception on their entrance into the higher realm. MMie reception was given in the gymnasium on the evening following the Tecumseh football game. All of the gridiron Jieroes were cordially invited, and both teams renewed acquaintances, laying aside the memories of bruises received during the afternoon. This reception was returned by the Freshmen at a later date in memory of Saint Patrick’s Day. The decoration scheme was cleverly carried out with favors of Old Erin. The members of the class participated in further social activities, such as a weiner roast at Hinton’s Park, and a sleigh-riding party during the winter months. Both of these occasions we consider as well worth while, and we advise our successors to have more of them. In spite of the fact that the “flu” impaired our class progress, nevertheless we are proud of our class record. We believe that we have proven ourselves worthy of the name Sophomore, and also that we are wide-awake and full of pep. Tage Forty-two falls city men sen no i.

Stacy Hoy Vice-President ...................Lawrence Weinert Secretary-Treasurer...................Dora Winkler Miss Kauffman, instructor in English, was chosen sponsor for the Junior Class. She was indeed a capable sponsor and we wish to thank her for her conscientious work in that position. A few enterprising Juniors and other upper-classmen started a campaign against the Freshmen, the first few weeks of school. This campaign almost ended in disaster for the offensive side, and also caused quite a bit of unrest among the Freshmen, who were continually in hiding, fearing to show themselves in public lest they lose their scalps. The Faculty, ever mindful of the safety of the promising Freshmen, soon put a stop to the hostilities, and the Freshmen now rest in peace. The Juniors elected the following members of the class as members of the board of directors of the Orange and Black: Gladys Lovelace, Clyde Massey. 1 8111 Keim, Stacy Hoy and Dora Winkler. Of these. Stacy Hoy was elected Editor in-chief; Clyde Massey. Junior Class Editor, and Dora Winkler. Editor of the Literary and Music Department. Lawrence Weinert, Stacy Hoy. Louis Buising and Charles Heineman represented the Junior Class on the football squad. The class is certainly proud of these young men and their part in upholding the honor of the school. We are also proud of the fact that our president and fellow classman. Stacy Hoy. was elected to lead the football squad next year. Our football campaign was cut short on account of the “flu situation in this and neighboring towns, and we are hoping for a longer season next year. Stacy Hoy was the only Junior who obtained a position on the basketball team. Only a few Juniors tried for the team owing to the short season and lack of games. We are looking anxiously and expectantly forward to the time when we will occupy the Seniors' place in the sun. Although our class has greatly diminished since we were Freshmen, we are still full of life, a fact which the Faculty have every cause to know well. Almost all the Juniors signed as members of some one of the four literary societies. Those who did not join, with possibly a few exceptions, represent the unprogressive class in the school. One should be proud to take part in the various entertainments given by these societies, instead of trying to avoid them. We wish the departing Seniors success in the various undertakings which they will take up after leaving the High School. We are indeed sorry to see them leave, but they cannot remain here always, but must seek something higher. We also bid a hearty goodbye to any of the departing Faculty and students who do not expect to return next year. Much to the joy of the majority of students there will be no final examinations. This probably accounts for the many broad smiles now found on the faces of the High School students. Here’s to our Faculty, the best ever; who have guided our steps through a most momentous year of our lives. Their efforts have been continually for our good, they have Page Forty-six always kept in mind our side of the situation, and each and every one has performed his or her duty to the standard of perfection. Although there may be some differences among teachers and students. I think that all can be forgotten and forgiven. We hope that every member of the Faculty will return to his or her post in the management of the dear old F. C. H. S. next year. On account of the necessity of conserving on all foodstuffs we have as yet had no social entertainments except a weinie roast held on the Wagner farm south of town. A good time was enjoyed by all. We are proud to say that we are absolutely clear of debt and have a neat sum in the treasury at present. All our money, up to the present time, has been raised by direct levy of dues upon the members of the class. Page Forty-seven OltAWK Wit MACK. Now that the war is over and the necessity of conserving is not so great, we are planning to give a banquet in honor of the departing Seniors. Our class pins were a subject of much discussion the former part of the year. We finally decided upon a very appropriate pin which has the Statue of Liberty engraved on it in addition to the customary F. C. H. S. and our class year. ’20. Almost all the class selected pins, only a few deciding in favor of the rings. These pins and rings will be highly coveted as a remembrance of school days. The following Juniors are out to win positions on the baseball nine: Stacy Hoy. Louis Buising. Clyde Massey. Pryce Jones and Charles Heiser. Here, as elsewhere, the Juniors are showing their pep and their loyalty to the school. Louis Buising was elected captain of the team at the beginning of the season.

The Annual staff has seen fit to set aside this page in his honor. In so doing, we are not attempting to fully repay him for his services, for we realize that such is beyond our means. We are merely showing the readers of this book where Hahn stands in the thoughts of his fellow-students. In winning three first prizes and thereby capturing the Tri-State Meet at Tarkio. Mo.. Friday. May 3rd. Lloyd accomplished a feat never before attained in the history of the Falls City High School. On Monday following the meet. Hahn presented the school with the shield, the prize of the meet. After the presentation, the entire student body “loosened up” and demonstrated their appreciation of Hahn and his work. Lloyd Hahn’s athletic career is characterized by whole-hearted submission to training and hard work. His attitude toward athletics is genuine. He is not a “grand-stander,” but rather a good sport. Whether he wins or whether he loses, he has done his best. Hats off to Hahn. LLOYD HAHN Page Fifty-four OK WOE AM) It LACK. 1918-1910 Page Fifty-five FALLS CITY II 1CII SCHOOL FOOT BALL TRAM Top Bow.

Foot Under the direction of Coach C. M. Britton, and the leadership of Captain-Elect Dewey Hoy, this team may be characterized as one of the most efficient and reliable teams in the history of Falls City High School. Each man filled his position efficiently and helped form a star” team. The “old” men played true to form and ability, and the new material developed rapidly. The team opened the season with a victory. The first game, against Tecumseh. on the home field, was spectacular for a starter. Fighting witli the spirit of veterans, the team pulled away in the finish and scored 13 points, while Tecumseh failed to threaten our goal. The next game was against the Seneca. Kansas, team, a widely heralded aggregation. The game was played at Seneca, and proved to be a hard fought, decisive victory for the F. C. “men. Both teams resorted to open field work, but in this style of play the F. C. lads proved themselves superior to their “enemy. and returned home victorious, 39-12. Falls City’s back field distinguished itself in this game by its ability to handle the ball, and also its style of interference. The next game was the return date with Tecumseh, and with every man in tip-top condition excepting Abbey, the regular center, who was at this time unable to play because of injuries received in the Seneca game, but Buising was substituted and proved himself capable of holding down the center position. Tecumseh was badly crippled for this game, and F. C. again returned home glorified with another victory, 25-0. The next game proved to be the only defeat of the season and also a surprise to the followers of the team. Page Fifty-seven ORAXffE A V liLACK, 191H-1910 Ball but the defeat can be partly accounted for by sickness and injuries of S. Hoy. who was out of the game entirely. Abbey and Whetstine were also kept from playing their usual good game on account of minor injuries. This game was lost to Beatrice High, on their own home gridiron. The score does not tell the interesting facts of this game. The early part of the game looked like an easy victory for Beatrice, who played our home boys off their feet, and the first half ended 21-0, Beatrice. But here the F. C. lads braced up. and the second half was all F. C.’s. A beautiful forward pass from Frehse to Whetstine was the means of a touchdown. This was followed by spectacular end runs and line smashes by I). Hoy. Hahn and Hughes. This combination tore through the Beatrice team at will during the second period of the game, and this enabled F. C. to score again. Beatrice registered another touchdown on a fumble, making her 28 points to F. C.’s 14. We cannot feel so badly over this defeat, as Beatrice came through the season as one of the leading teams of the state, and we feel it no disgrace to lose to a good team. The last game of the season, due to the untimely appearance of “Mr. Flu,” was staged on the home gridiron, in a sea of mud and water, against our annual rivals. Hiawatha. This game was far from spectacular, for both teams were greatly hampered by the weather conditions. Both teams were evenly matched, with F. C. having the slight advantage in weight. Hiawatha scored during the third period on a “fluke,” but failed to kick goal. Then the “home team livened up. and shaking the mud from their heels into the faces of the Hiawatha players, easily broke through the Hiawatha lads for a touchdown. Whetstine threw a scarce into them by narrowly missing the FALLS CITY HUSH SCHOOL goal. This touchdown was completed by three beautifully executed passes, which netted 50 yards, and line smashes by D. Hoy. Hahn and Hughes. The game ended a miserable tie, 6-fi. This seemed very disappointing to the Hiawatha team. But all possible efforts for a return game was repect-by them, which was very disappointing to the F. C. lads, for they realized that this game could never be registered as a complete victory without another chance at the Hiawatha team. We must feel that the boys were right in this view, for we believe our team superior to Hiawatha’s in all departments of the game. And so the season ended with a record of three games won, one lost, and one a tie. Falls City totaled 97 points. while her opponents made only 46. The team of ’18 reflects credit upon the school in all respects. The team of ’19 will, from present indications, further uphold the honors established, but will be minus the following forces, which is deeply regretted by all: (’apt. D. Hoy, T. Frehse. J. Whetstine. W. Abbey, T. Mosiman. L. Shaw, G. Hughes and C. Nutter. The following boys were awarded letters: Capt. Dewey Hoy. Capt.-elect Stacy Hoy, John Whetstine, Lawrence Weinert, Ted Mosiman. Wallace Abbey, Tom Frehse, Lloyd Hahn, Glenn Hughes, Charles Heineman and Louis Buising. l‘aRe Fifty-eight OKAXGE AXH MACK, lMfUM!) FRESHE, Quarter-back The position of quarter-back was well filled. “Dutchman” is not of the stellar type, but is a steady, reliable player. He is that good natured sort of fellow, ready at all time to give the team his best. ABBEY, Center Abbey is as good a man for the pivotal position as one could ask for. His pass is accurate and his head-work of a high calibre. II ' is a steady, experienced player, which qualifications are necessary for a good center. His record is high. BUISING, Right Guard Buising plays any line position with the exception of end. playing each position with equal skill. Louie is a husky.” and although this was his first year on the team, he made a splendid showing in all respects. Watch him next year. Page Fifty-nine falls city hk;h school HAHN. Fullback Lloyd’s strongest feature as a football player Is his speed. He works well with the team, seldom failing to advance the ball. Hahn developed into a good line plunger, and we expect even more from him next year. HEINEMAN, Left End Charlie loomed up from some of the new material and developed rapidly. He is “where the ball is” on a forward pass. In spite of his handicap in weight. Heineman plays a nice little defensive game. He also has a supply of trickery which he uses now and then. D. HOY. Capt., Left Half back Hoy plays a fine game of football. including the “finishing iouches. His best gamt was at Beatrice in which game he displayed some combination of fight, judgment. and class. He made a good captain, being well-equipped for the position through qualities of athletic leadership. rage Sixty Oh’.WGE AX I) MACK. 19181910 S. HOY, Left Tackle (Capt. Elect) As they phrased it after the Hiawatha game. Stace played some game. He is one of those dependable fellows who is a strong cog in the machine. He played clear away from his opponent in every game, excelling mostly In smashing up plays on defensive. At various times he was shifted to the back field. HUGHES. Right Half-back Here is another man who is fast in a football uniform. Glennie showed big” on end runs, scoring several touchdowns on that route. There is also another department of the game in which he is hard to beat—tackling. He gets 'em. going or coming. MOSIMAN, Left Guard Ted held down his position in good shape. He is equally strong on defensive and offensive work. While his playing did not show so much from the sidelines, he was always on the job, doing his part in every play. The opposing backs tell us that he is a pretty hard man to get by. Page Sixty-one FALLS CITY HidH SCHOOL WEINERT, Right Tackle Speaking of tackles, look this fellow over. Weinert is a whirlwind on the line, and if they don’t get out of his way, he gets them out. Lawrence has a spirit toward the game that is bound to win. He made the holes for very many valuable gains. WHETSTINE. Right End John figured in the completion of quite a number of forward passes. They looked him over at Beatrice when he got away for a touchdown on a beautiful pass. Whetstine knows football and the opposing backs know that he knows it. His best line is busting interference, which he does with ease, preventing lots of gains by opponents. BRITTON. Coach To our new Principal and Coach, C. M. Britton, a three letter college man. must be given the credit for the wonderful showing, and successful finish of a victorious season. It was “Britton” who kept “Our Boys” righting as he watched the ball advance into enemy territory. Coach Britton has also shown great enthusiasm in all other High School activities.

Frehse and S. Hoy—and such material as Ted Mosiman. Hoffman and Fink selected from about fifteen other members of the squad, prospects for a winning team looked good to Coach Britton. And we believe that this team would have accomplished everything that was expected of it had it not been for the influenza epidemic. But our spirit did not cease to exist, and the team struggled onward against odds. We were fortunate enough to obtain a good schedule, including such teams as Auburn. Nebraska City, Beatrice and Atchison, but our chances to prove the worth of the team soon faded away. We started with a spirit that seemed unbeatable, but this did not last very long. For the team was forced to play the first game against Auburn on their home floor, meeting defeat, 32-13. But it must be remembered that the boys went against Auburn with two nights’ practice as compared with two months’ practice of their opponents. A large crowd of rooters accompanied the team to Auburn, and the school is to be commended upon such support. The rooters were accused of bringing home a lot of ‘ flu,” but after the excitement had cleared away it was evident that the trip to Auburn had had no influence upon the increase of influenza. But as a result our schedule was temporarily cancelled, and when we were able to renew play it was impossible to reschedule our games. The team was defeated by Stella on the home floor, 2i-i p—too much confidence. This game was very interesting, however, the only bad feature being the spraining of Ted Mosiman’s ankle. Then the Alumni made their annual attempt to win from the younger lads, and failed. It was interesting to see some of the old “stars” in action once more, and in spite of the one-sided score—26-2—the game was worth while. One more game was played before it was finally realized that the season of '19 could never be called a season. This game was with the Salem Town team, which we defeated, 53-11. Since it was beyond hope to secure a schedule worth while, it was thought best to disorganize. The efforts of the team had resulted in two games lost and the same number of victories. Although the season was stunted, the basket-shooting of Whetstine and Frehse, the guarding and floor work of S. Hoy and 1). Hoy. coupled with the fighting and teamwork of Mosiman. Fink and Hoffman, will not be forgotten. Page Sixty-four BASE BALL TEAM Top How, lAfft to Ri ht—Frehse, First Base: Whetstine, Third Base; Britton. Coach; Fink, Second Base; Whitford. Center Field.

PALI'S CITY llldll SCHOOL Baseball Baseball and track have rather conflicted this year, but each fellow has been allowed to choose his own sport, and in spite of carrying two branches of spring athletics, our baseball spirit is up to our expectations. A large number of recruits turned out for practice at the first of the season. Then there came along some weather conditions that were unfavorable to contend with, making the practice a little irregular. But the team is maintaining its organization, nevertheless, and is ready for all comers of the high school calibre. As we go to press three games have been played. On a half-sized diamond, we met defeat at the hands of Stella. with a large but close score. Then we played Salem and Verdon in order on the home field, defeating both of these teams at ease. Our schedule for the rest of the season is indefinite, owing to the fact that few of the surrounding towns are playing baseball. But we expect a return game with each of the above teams, and in addition, at least one game with Table Hock. Louis Buising was elected captain of the team, a very good choice. Although this is our first year at High School baseball, we feel that we have a good team. We regret that more schools do not play the game, because the only way we can prove our prowess is by bucking up against the rest. Track Falls City’s greatest hopes in track work rest with her sprinters. Hahn and Hughes. Both of these men have sufficient experience and honors to enable the school to depend upon them to bring home some glory. We feel that these two men alone will bring credit upon our school, while others, such as Keeling. I). Hoy and Rhoades, should aid a great deal in upholding the records of other years. Already one meet has been captured, the Tri-State Meet, held at Tarkio. Missouri. And all glory to Hahn, our hero the man who not only made individual point honors, but also won the meet by taking first place in the 50. 100 and 220-yard dashes. Our representatives have also entered the Nebraska State Meet at Lincoln. Cage Sixty-Six OKAXVK AM) It LACK, I9I8-J919 GIRLS BASKET BABB TEAM I | Bow. Left to Right Ruth Ernst. Coach; Rosina Brecht.

Not too much can be said of our captain. She played a fast game and was splendid on team-work. As captain she piloted the team in grand style, inspiring pep into all parts of the game. Her position will be hard to fill next year. BOWERS. 19 Janice, R. G.. was ‘there and over' when it came to guarding. She not only worked well with the team, but she had the stick-to-it-iveness that makes a real guard. ERNST. 19 Ruth. L.

For a long time no-games were scheduled, but the girls felt that as long as ther£ was life there was hope. So they continued to practice, and after the epidemic subsided, several games were scheduled. Our first game was with the High School Alumni. Their team was composed of stars” of former years, but much to the surprise of the rooters, they were defeated. 27-22. The Senior Girls then challenged all other classes combined. but the Seniors met defeat. 36-22. Our next game took us over to .Mound City on the 14th of March. We had a fine trip, but because of the small floor and the proximity of the spectators, we were at a tremendous disadvantage. At the end of the first half the score stood 18-6, Mound City. But we began the second half with a world of pep. and when the final whistle blew the score was 28-21 in favor of Mound City. The team was not discouraged, however, because we knew we would have a chance to return the favor on our home floor. And so, on .March 21, we defeated Mound City, 46-19. Maude Reese started the season on the first team, but because of ill health she was allowed to play only one game. A great many members of this year's team will be playing next year, and with Miss Koester as coach, the prospects for a winning team are of the best. Whatever the team has accomplished this year has been in a large measure due to the untiring efforts of our coach. Miss Koester. The team was entirely new with the exception of one member, but Miss Koester's patience with the material at hand aided greatly in developing the team.

Under the leadership of Miss Helen Mattison. music instructor, the girls have practiced diligently, and in spite of the great amount of time lost during the influenza vacation they were able to prepare creditably the cantata. “Pan,” for the third annual glee club concert. Several special numbers for the closing events of the year were also rendered by the club. Miss Helen Tanner, the pianist, shows exceptional talent as an accompanist. The Sirens' have increased their number to seven, and thus are no longer a sextette. The members of the club at the present time are: .Maude Reese. Bernice Mis- son. Edith Heaston. Helen Tanner. Mildred Neitzel. Louise Harris and Dora Winkler. With two exceptions these girls have been singing together during three school years. Mildred Neitzel and Louise Harris have been added to the organization, filling the vacation made by the graduation of Cylene Parrish, ’18. and also adding another member. The Sirens, under the direction of their leader. Miss Mattison. and ably assisted by Mrs. DeWald, reader, gave an evening program on April 11 in the high school auditorium. The program was in the form of a song recital. The girls also appeared at the Glee Club concert and on various programs of the commencement season. Miss Helen Lovelace is a splendid pianist, and has done good work as an accompanist for this group of girls. On account of fall and winter athletes the Boys' Glee Club was not organized until the second semester: but the club is composed of boys with plenty of “pep.” and in spite of their shortened season they are preparing several pleasing numbers for the Glee Club concert.

II SCHOOL Literary Societies At the beginning of the second semester, the pupils who were vitally interested in the betterment of our school from a literary standpoint, organized under the leadership of Mr. Britton, four literary societies. The membership is not compulsory, and for that reason, not all of the students are literary society members. The total membership in all societies is about one hundred. It was thought that one hundred live members would make a bigger thing out of the organization than would two hundred members, with only a half-hearted spirit. There are four societies: Zetalethean. President Wallace Abbey; Lambda Alpha. President -Catherine Scott: Nu Eta. President—Bernice Misson; and the Paramount. President—Stacy Hoy. A program is given each Friday afternoon, thus each society has its turn once a month. Last year the school was divided into two societies and the programs were few. This year the desire has been to give every member an opportunity to take part. The programs are given by society members only. Unless the program is a special one. it must meet the following requirements: one number from group one--essay or oration; one number from group two—declamation or current events; and two numbers from group three—modern biography, short story, school paper, or extemporaneous class. In addition to these required numbers, music and various electives were introduced. Some of the societies are planning special programs. The literary society is a variation from regular class work and other routine factors of the school, and is justified if for no other reason than its recreative influence. Furthermore, the society affords its members an opportunity to take a step toward the development of the ability to appear in public. For these reasons, the literary societies have been formed, and are a living part of our school life. I'age Seventy-six Poetical nirwtii: i xn a lack, huh-uho SPRING.

All served in the ranks and some nobly In civilian work, the incidents being too numerous to mention. Among those in the uniform were the following: Karl Cline of the Class of 1805 was commissioned a captain and served in France, where he was wounded. James R. Jaquet. John R. Mason and Harry J. Pittock of the Class of 1807 were listed with the fighting men. John R. Mason had seen service on the border, and was earlv inducted and sent to France with the X9th Division. James R. Jaquet. though he never left this country, after being mustered out of service, again tendered his services, and was sent to France in V. M. C. A. reconstruction work. Hlaine V’oder of the Class of 180S became a lieutenant and was sent to France with the Falls City Company a few weeks before the armistice was signed, and Lloyd Shock, also of the Class of lyos. received the highest rank of any of the graduates. that of major. Helen Davies of this class was sent to France engaged in recp.nstruction work. From the Class of 19Q9 went Reavis (list and Ray Graham, and though neither were, in the service long Reavis (list made the supreme sacrifice'.'a victim of influenza at Fort Riley, the only graduate to meet-Jleath. The Class of 1910 had three members in the service, Jean R. Cain. David Reavis and Amos Yoder, the latter of whom was the only one of the trio to see France, and he but a few weeks before the armistice was declared. Jeffrey Horrocks and Leon Norris of the Class of 1811 were sent into service. Horrocks to France with the 109th Engineers and Norris, after the armistice, to Panama, where he is now an Infantry captain. The Class of 1912 had the record of being the only one hundred per cent class, so far as its boys were concerned, as both James H. Falloon and Herbert Marr enlisted. Herbert being wounded severely while fighting in Europe. Frank Reavis and Glenn Russ or the Class of 1913 were in the service, but neither were sent from this country, but served as instructors in camps in the -United States army. The Class of 191J had the largest representation. Roy Rohrer. David Crow. Charles Gagnon. Jesse Grush. Reachv Mussel man. Louis Wirth and Gladys Holland, all being in the uniform. David Crow was severely wounded at the Argonne and Gladys Holland served as an army nurse at Fort Dodge, she being the only graduate to serve as a nurse during the war. Richard J. King and Charles P.
