Page twelve ORANCE AND BLACK 1923 Senior History ] Iistory repeats itself. s says a well known and often quoted adage, -a do not 1 e surprised if our history happens to he in some respects much like a great many other class chronicles you have read. I here is still enough difference to give us personality of our own. Four years ago we climbed the steps of Falls t ity High and timidly took our places among our superior classmen. A few weeks later we organized as a class. Our officers were: Margaret Frazier, President: John Lichtv, Vice-President; Charles Uhlig, Secretary and Treasurer, and Miss Rankin. Sponsor. The two most interesting events for us during the season were the Freshmen Initiation given by the Sophomores and the Freshmen Return Party. We showed our true spirit by taking an active part in Athletics, and were represented on the staff by Clarence Gregg. The following year we put away our childish ways and adopted the airs of Sophomores. Elmer Massey was chosen President; Clarence Gregg, ice-President: Mildred Alderfer, Secretary and Treasurer, with Miss McAulcv, Sponsor. In Athletics we were represented by Cleo Hoffman and Lydia ulf. member of the Girls Basket Ball Team. Henry Scheitel and F.lmer Massey on the Football team: Berlyn Shields, Seward Jones and F.lmer Massey on the Base Ball team. Berlyn Shields acted as our representative on the Orange and Black Staff. The subjects that two years previous had sent our respect soaring to the loftiest heights, we as Juniors, determined to master. The trials and tribulations of Cicero and “Trig combined with Physics problems have at times almost proved our undoing. The officers elected for this year were: Cecil Crook. President; Cleo Hoffman, Vice-President; Wilma Coatney, Secretary and Treasurer, and Miss Harris, Sponsor. On October 4, a meeting was called for the election of three members of our class to the Advisory Board. I he three were Chjirles Uhlig, Helen Lichtv and Elmer Massey. An Inter-class Basket Ball Tournament was held in December and we are proud to say our team carried the honors. The Junior-Senior Banquet held April 2d, was a great success due to the patience and untiring efforts of Miss Harris. In Football we were represented by Berlyn Shields. Cecil Crook, F.lmer Massey, Melvin Johnson and Donald Lovelace. We were represented on the Staff by Elmer Massey, Class Representative; and Wilma Coatney. Assistant Editor. We also furnished three letter men for the Basket Ball Team. They were Berlyn Shields, Cecil Crook and Lorene Buising. Cleo Hoffman and Lydia Wulf retained their former places on the Girls Basket Ball beam. We organized as a Senior Class with the following officers : 1 )onald Lovelace, President; Wilma Coatney, Vice-President: and Helen Lichtv, Secretary and Treasurer and Miss Miner, our Sponsor. We were well represented in Athletics this year and had the honor of furnishing the Captains for both, the Boys and Girls Basket Ball I'cams and the Football Team. When the Orange and Black Staff was selected, Wilma Coatney was chosen Editor-in-Chief: Cecil Crook, Business Manager; Helen Lichtv, Snapshot F'ditor; Berlyn Shields, Organizations, and Mary Cameron, Class Representative. As we reluctantly move on to make room for the following classmen we wish to thank the F'aculty for the help and patience they have shown us during our four years in F. C. H. S. Especially do we wish to thank Miss Miner for her part in making our Senior year so pleasant and successful.— II. L. '23 Page thirteen ORANCE AND BLACK 1923 Class Prophecy A queer oriental place—the shadows in the corners deepened by the misty white glow of a crystal globe which stands in the middle of the room. In the depths of this globe the future of the class of 1923 will be revealed. The first two faces seen are those of Edna Coon and Margareta Rush. They have become famous for their wonderful educational methods. We will visit a High School where their system is used. In single file, as though on wings the students are moving along the sides of the halls. They stand on a bracket at the end of an aluminum pole and are carried to and fro by means of a cable overhead. There is not the least noise or confusion. A teacher stands at each door and works an electric switch for those that recite to him that period. Every two weeks the brains of the students are photographed and the pictures placed on file. All cheating is thus eliminated and the marks given are exact. Having already made such progress there is no telling what Edna and Margareta may accomplish. Next we see a large and pompous man moving with dignity through an enthusiastic crowd. He wears a genial smile and a heavy gold watch chain. He stops every now and then to speak to the children. He takes the babies up in one hand and dangles the watch chain in the other. The babies howl with terror at first but they are gradually hypnotized by the beautiful watch chain and by the chuckles of the big man. They do not know that he is more interested in the. votes of their Mamas than in them. For he is a politician and he is very wise. He is the Honorable Archibald Weaver. He disappears and in his place is a woman wearing a pink gingham apron with a big bow in the back. It is Beatrice Sharp. Now what in the world is she doing here? She had intended to teach k ndergarten in the Red Mud district and here she is doing housework in a family of two. This happy home is blotted out by a tragic scene on a Cannibal Isle. A distinguished looking woman rushes frantically into view. It is Ruth Rieschick. She married a handsome Cannibal not long ago. Just now she seems extremely agitated. She hurries up to the Cannibal Chief. “Have you seen anything of my husband?” The Cannibal Chief shifts his tooth pick and replies. “No Madame, not since dinner.” Now comes an angry turbulent mob. A multitude of people with flame of righteous indgination in their faces. They are led by an active young woman with bobbed copper colored hair. These are Irish rioters seeking justice and Mildred Elliott is their Joan of Arc. Something more peaceful follows. We find before us the Editor of a very popular publication. The room is very well furnished and on the wall is this quotation, “Always laugh at your own jokes, if you want anything done well, do it vourself.” At the desk sits Marvin Crush, Editor-in-Chief of the Whiz-Bang. Marvin is well along in years but is active as ever. He is conversing with another old gentleman. They seem to be good friends. Why, it is Wilbur Schindler. But how changed! They are discussing the wildness of modern youth. Wilbur has been deeply shocked by the doings of his grandchildren. A large white farm house appears. There is a white fence around the yard to keep the white chickens in their proper place. In the kitchen, is Blanche Pointer baking cream puffs. We cannot think of Blanche without Bertha Winkler. Looking carefully we sec Bertha at the busiest corner in Chicago. She is perched aloft in the traffic tower, working the signals. Here she can surely indulge in her love of excitement. Cecil Crook is the next member of the class revealed. He has taken great interest in vocal. The gyrations through which he can manipulate his voice are weird and wonderous, excelling all imitations of bird and beast. And we have his word for it that he never sings to the same assembly twice. Let us pass quickly on before he offers to display his talent. Mary Cameron’s face can be seen quite distinctly. There is no mistaking her. She has the same impish, innocent expression as of yore. However, she is engaged in a very doubtful occupation. We cannot tell just what she is doing. It may be that she accompanies Cecil on the tin horn. It may be—not. These musical personages are displaced by a tall lean figure well-known to all of us. Yet he is quaintly changed. He wears large blue goggles and has an absent minded air. In sooth a very learned man! He is our old friend Albert Huettner. He has won universal fame. He has made an exhaustive study of the habits and peculiarities of the American Fishworm. Herman Bippes ha shown strong business tendencies. He deals in Cheese. (Continued on page 28) Page fourteen ORANGE AND BLACK 1923 Last Will and Testament To whom it may concern: We the Class of 1923, of Falls City, in the county of Richardson and State of Nebraska, cons dering the uncertainty of this mortal life, and being of sound mind and memory, do make and publish this our last will and testament in the manner and form following, that is to say,— First: We appoint C. M. Britton of Falls City. Nebraska as Executor of this our last will and testament and do impower him to divide all our personal and real estate property in the manner and form as follows. Second: 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. Personally we bequeath as follows: Wilbur Schindler bequeaths his good behavior and knowledge of Physics to Tom Wittwer in hopes that Tom will complete his investigations concerning the lost motion in a dog’s tail. Helen Allen withdraws all claim to former suitors in favor of Celia Jane Lawrence. We insist that Herman Bippes leave his genteel manner to Harry Flowers. Lorene Buising bequeaths his ability to soothe referees to Captain Zorn. To Anna Margaret Brecht.

We recommend that Edna Coon leave her nightingale Charm to Grant Whitford. Harry Cook bequeaths his step-ladder to Albert Deckinger so he can get up in the morning. Ernest Cornford bequeaths his knowledge of making a dollar go a long way to John Wiltse. In concise form it is; buy four gallons of gasoline for a Lincolnette. Cecil Crook takes this opportunity of distributing his ability of “getting by”, to two by name, Harvey Whitaker and Douglas Cornell. We suggest that Leslie Dodds bequeath his hurry to John Whitaker. Mildred Elliott gives her Irish wit to Philena Uhlig. To Mildred Knickerbocker. Alice Crush bequeaths her coy manner. Marvin Crush bequeaths his sarcasm to Melville Kirk. George HaefTele desires that Clarence Nutter acquire his habit of keeping silent. Minnie Heilman bequeaths her punctuality to Nellie Lee Brecht.

Flora Redwood bequeaths her simnv disposition to Zelma Martin. Frances Schlicker bequeaths her Dictionary to Genevivc Peterson. Ruth Rieschick now enjoying the front seat of a Ford Sedan bequeaths her place in the “can’t afford” to Barry Moeser. Beatrice Sharp gives her red pepper candy to I mo Morgan so that she can keep the boys away from her. Berlyn Shields bequeaths his ability to divide nothing by two to Harlan Hutchins. Margareta Rush bequeaths her ability to attend to her own business to Helen Ruth Reneker. Minta Sickel bequeaths her blushes to Daisy Mendenhall. Clare Thacker leaves his right to chew gum to Murray Whitford. Mable Thomas bestows on Morris Jones her collection of notes. Marv Towle bequeaths her future in the movies to Lucille Thomas. To Bobus Horroccii, Archibald Weaver bequeaths his mastery of Latin. Jessie Margaret Whetstine bequeaths her height to Frances Orr: her dignity to Lucille Matthews. Bertha Winkler has resolved to bestow her bobbed hair on Clara Eickhoff. We trust that on our request Frank Massey will acquire the pleasing smile of Carl Witt rock. (Continued on page 48) Page fifteen ORANCE AND BLACK 1923 Faye sixteen umo puO- Page seventeen ORANGE AND BLACK 1923 Junior Class History 'riic Junior Class has reached its present prominent position as the result of hard work. Our motto is, ‘lf the elevator to success isn’t running, take the stairs.” But there were no elevators for us. When we organized at the beginning of the year the following officers were elected: Grant Whitford, President; Lucille Crawford, vice president; Robert Horrocks, secretary and treasurer. W e feel that we have been especially favored by securing the services of Miss Holt as class sponsor. Her assistance and advice have made possible a successful year. When we presented our class program our originality was demonstrated by the presentation of a morality play written especially for us by our class sponsor, Miss Holt. We were well represented in athletics. Five Juniors made their letters in football: Wilbert Zorn, Cap’t., ’23. Harvey Whitaker, Harold Lippold, Clarence Nutter and Grant Whitford. Frank Massey and Lester McDonald also worked hard for the success of the team. Wilbert Zorn, Orville Morris, Murray Whitford and Grant Whitford represented the class on the basketball team. The Junior girls besides winning the girls inter-class basketball championship furnished four regular members of the girls team. They were Margaret Forney, Sara Helen Simanton, Lovelle Sconce and Fsther Mettz. Sara Helen Simanton and Fsther Mettz placed on the S. 1C Nebraska High School girls basketball team. We received our rings and pins early in February, and believe they are the best ones that have been selected for a number of years. Since next year will be our last year in Falls City High School we hope to make it our happiest and most prosperous year and we are looking forward to it with eagerness. R. H. ’24.

The officers of our Freshman year were; Merle Uhlig, president; Melville Kirk, vice president; and Mary Morgan, secretary and treasurer. |oscph Miles and Mary Morgan represented us on the hoard of control and Donald Adams was our stuff representative. Miss McAulcy sponsored the Class. On September 12, these officers for the 1922-1022 term were elected; Donald Adams, president: Joseph Miles, vice president: Marietta Bode, secretary and treasurer; Miss Gregory was chosen Sponsor and through her careful guidance we have been piloted through a most successful year. The Freshman Initiation on September 29, was a “Howling Success.” from the standpoint of noise but whether or not the Freshmen felt duly introduced into the Mysticisms of F. C. II. S., Dear Reader, you will have to look to the Initiated themselves. Later in the year we were delightfully entertained at the Country Home of Philena Uhlig. This vear we have presented two one-act Farces, entitled “And the Lamp Went Out.” and “You Know, I Know, Shake!”, before the school and feel that our efforts have been repaid by the generous applause given us. In Athletics as befits Sophomores we have faithfully striven to do our duty—“Uphold the Rear”—but next year—Well—Watch our Dust! M. M. ’25. Par e.

Po ie Twenty-three ORANGE AND BLACK 1923 Freshman History We Freshmen, eighty-two strong, came through this year with flying colors. The Sophomores initiated us into real high school spirit, by giving us a party in the Gymnasium, September 29. The Freshmen returned this by inviting the second year class to a tacky party. Our other social events were two class parties held at the home of Lavern Cornford. During the Football season the only active part taken on the side of the J'reshmen was by our president, Arthur Spain, who won his letter. Both boys and girls had teams for the inter-class basket ball tournaments. Our portion of the Gymnasium was decorated with the class colors, blue and white. “Wanted—A Valet,” was given before the school at convocation period. January 29. Arthur Spain, Harlan Hutchins, William Heiser, and Lavern Cornford. were those who took part in the play. We owe much of the success of the Freshman of 1 ‘ 2A to our faithful sponsor, Miss Stillc.

Page Tiventy seven ORANGE AND BLACK 1923 CLASS PROPHECY, Cont. We find Helen Allen just completing a lecture to a class in a large University. She dismisses the students saying, “I am dismissing you ten minutes early today. Please go out gently so as not to wake the other classes.” Dora Kister has become a Journalist. She is working on the “Daily Howl,” a widely circulated news sheet of Rulo, Nebraska. Dora’s particular job is to provide dependable advice to the Love-lorn. Grace Meyers, Minta Sickel. and Jaunita Kirkendall have become noted for welfare work. They are much interested in the down-trodden. Just now they are conducting a st rring campaign in order to raise enough money to provide, all the African natives with clean pocket handkerchiefs. Next we are forced to observe somthing that roars and rattles as it tears down tin-street and swings around corners. This vehicle is an old Ford truck. High in air on the drivers seat sits Helen Lichty. She feels that women should be of some use in the world. She is helping her husband keep soul and body together by fixing old umbrellas. She’s a great little fixer. Speaking of noise—the next revelation takes us behind the scenes of a great theatre. The play in progress is Shakespear’s “Tempest.” Of course a tempest necessitates much thunder and lightning, terrible wind, and rain. These sounds are being reproduced perfectly. They are so real they make the blood run cold. They are the work of the Racket Artists Flora Redwood, Ella Noyes, and Alice Crush. Lo! Behold! We are privileged to see our illustrious classmate, Elmer Massey. He has made huge sums of money—in some way—and has turned philanthropist. He wears a derby hat and a saintly expression. He is distributing animal cookies among the children of the slums. But have none of the mighty minds of this class taken up the study of lavv? Ah— yes—Melvin Johnson. He has become the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, an awe-inspiring individual of great phys:cal presence. We see him leaving the Court Room after the day’s work is done. He steps into the Pierce-Arrow that awaits him. It is a magnificent car. Its license number is 31-50. Mabel Thomas has become an Eye-ear-nose-throat Doctor. And Alice Camblin is married. Lawrence Wiltse is indeed a howling success. He has made a vast fortune as a Hair Net Merchant. Minnie Hellmann has joined the Ringling Brothers Circus and renders touching melodies on the Steam Caliope. Grace Mettz and Fern Percival are still inseparable chums. They are exploring the unexplorable regions around the North Role. They come tearing across the plateau on a sled drawn by Eskimo dogs. Grace sits in front holding the reins. Fern has an enormous raw-hide whip and every now and then she rises up. reaches oyer Grace and gives the dogs a mighty crack! Before we know it they shoot up a hill, slither down a neighboring iceberg and are gone. The land of ice and snow becomes a desert. Not far away is a great cloud of dust. Observing more closely we see a huge rock jutting carelessly out of the sand. On all sides there is great activity. The natives are running thither and hither with loads of sand. They are digging a great hole. Suddenly a petrifying voice roars out. The nat’ves stand rooted to the spot, trembling in every limb. We look up and notice for tlie first time that Wilma Coatney is on the peak of the rock. She is dancing up and down in a rage, shouting to the workmen. We venture to inquire what she is doing. “I am superintending the digging of til's hole.” she says sternly. “But whv d� g a hole out here in the desert?” ‘ Is there any reason why I should not dig a hole in this desert if I want to?” We are crushed. Let us creep away. John Lichty, we are proud to say. is the next to appear. He is surely doing something worth while. He is making a deafening noise. He is standing on a soapbox stamping his feet and tearing his hair. He is selling the Perfect Rost Hole. Harry Cook has become a successful agriculturist. At present he is touring the country iiv his private car organizing Cow Clubs. They are similar to the Rig Clubs that have been so popular. But of course the Cow Club idea is more pretentious. The next to be considered is Berlvn Shields. Burr is a credit to his class. He has become a Bishop and has been called to Foreign Fields. We find him teaching and preaching among the hungry savages of the South Sea Isles. Helen James has become one of the most daring jockeys the world has ever seen. She can ride anything. The meaner the steed the better she likes it. Fern Maddox accidently found the way to Mars. When she got there she liked it so well she decided to stay. Musical instruments cannot exist on Mars. The atmosphere will not permit them to remain in tune. So. Fern, to her great delight, does not have to spend hours practicing. Esther Kimmel is a trifle shocked by Helen’s escapades and is content to stroll about Palm Beach wearing stunning clothes. {Concluded on page 76) Page l iven ty-eigh I Htfjletks ORANGE AND BLACK 1923 FOOTBALL Buising, Crook, Cornford, Crush. Lorene Buising, tackle, played his fourth year on the Orange and Black team. His services will he greatly missed next year, for he is not only a strong lineman, hut also valuable in the backfield. After being shifted from half back to tackle, Buising adapted himself in great style, proving to be a point of strength on both offensive and defensive play. He carried the ball well and made many openings in the opposing line for his teammates. Cecil Crook, full back, may be duly proud of hi two years work on the gridiron. After playing his first year at center, he adapted himself to the backfield readily. Crook is a hard-hitter through the line, and runs nice interference, but the strongest feature of his playing is defense. He is a hard and sure tackier, and knows what to do. His shoes will be hard to fill next season. Ernst Cornford, center, converted himself from green material into a valuable man in a remarkably short time. Ernie wound up his first and last year of high school football as a center to be depended upon in any play. He was showing especially strong on defensive work as the season closed, playing a difficult position, and playing it well. Marvin Crush, guard, developed into first team calibre after consistent practice. Although handicapped in weight for a line position, Marvin put enough fight into the play to offset this lack of averdupoise. He blocked many plays through his side of the line. Tnrr.ly-nin.’ ORANCE AND BLACK 1923 Johnson, Lovelace, Lippold, E. Massey. Melvin Johnson, guard, showed up well at the close of his two years of service. He was used in line plunging at various times with considerable success. Making good use of his abundance of weight, Johnson often proved to be a stone wall to the opposing backs. Toward the close of the season he showed lots of fight. Donald Lovelace, tackle, kept the opposing back field guessing all the time. Playing his second year of football. Lovelace showed the value of experience, and prevented lots of gains through his territory by knowing what to do. He is a good charger, fast, and has nerve to pass around. He plays a consistent game throughout, win or lose. Harold Lippold. half back, sprang a surprise by his first exhibition on the regular line-up. He is a one-year man, and has the ability to develop into a good man. Lippold is fast and shifty, as was demonstrated by several long runs around the ends. He has plenty of nerve, and is a good tackier. Elmer Massey, end, understands football, especially from the defensive standpoint, and it was his ability to analyze the opponents plays that made him excel in defensive work. He did his share in pulling down forward passes, and was effective in worrying the opposing passer. Massey plays a hard game and never lays down. Page thirty ORANGE AND BLACK 1923 Nutter, Spain, Shields—Capt., Uhl'g. Clarence Nutter, guard, earned his letter for the first time this year. He is good football material, and showed much improvement toward the close of the season by developing a more aggressive style of play. He has the necessary weight for a lineman and we are expecting some real good football from him next season. Arthur Spain, end, was the only Freshman Candidate to make his letter this year. He plays a hard game, and continues to improve it. He is a rangy fellow, and yields to coaching. With a little more experience, Spain should make a valuable man. Captain Berlyn Shields, quarter back, has more football brains than stature, as was evidenced by the creditable manner in which he conducted his team. Ber has the scrap and other qualities of leadership necessary to whip a team into action. These qualifications, together with good sportsmanship, contributed materially to the success of the season. Although weighing only 120 pounds, he could be depended upon for consistent gains. Shields did most of the passing, and developed unusual ability in return ng punts. This was his second year as a regular, and we are sorry that it is his last. Merle I’hlig, guard, steadily improved his playing as the season progressed. Although this was his initial season, he displayed earmarks of a veteran. Uhlig gets his .weight low and is a snappy charger. In addition to being a good lineman, he exhibits some adaptability to the backfield. He should give our opponents something to think about next year. Page Thirty-one ORANGE AND BLACK 1023 G. W. Whitford H. Whitaker Zorn—Capt. Elect. Grant Whitford, end, is another man to win his first stripe this season. Although he played at end most of the time, he produced some hackfield qualifications, and worked out in hackfield positions. He has the snap indicative of good football players, and understands the game. His work this year was promising, and we have just reasons to expect good results from Whitford another season. Harvey Whitaker, end, played real good football for his first year on the team. What he lacks in weight, he supplies in speed. His good tackling strengthens his defensive game, and on offense he excels in gathering in forward passes. In addition to showing a little speed, Whitaker is also rather shifty, which makes him a good man with the hall. Captain-elect, Wilbert Zorn, half back, did all that was expected of him, and that was considerable. He piled up the bulk of the yardage for the Orange and Black, part of which %vas accomplished by sensational runs, including a touchdown from kick-off against Sabetha and a 60 yard sprint against the strong Creighton team. Zorn is exceptionally handy with the side-step and pivot, which he supports with ample speed, and to top it off, he never stops until he has to. He runs good interference, collects his share of the forward passes, and is dependable on defense. We are fortunate to have Zorn with us in the capacity of Captain for 1923. 1‘at e thirty-two ORANCE AND BLACK 1923 Football notes Falls City High Schools’ prospect for a winning team was very good. As in previous years Mr. Britton proved himself capable of the position as coach. During the first week of school a call was made for foot-ball candidates and forty responded, including seven letter men. Our first game was played on our home field with Pawnee City, September 29. As it was the first game neither team was up to form. The game resulted in a victory for Pawnee. The score was 13-7. On October 6, the team journeyed to Highland, Kansas. Although, Highland out-weighed Falls City and the last part of the game was played in the mud, it was a good game as indicated by the score, 9-7 in favor of Highland. The next game was played at Sabetha, Kansas on October 13. This match was full of thrills, one of which was Zorn’s run for a touchdown on the kickoff. Sabetha won with the score 24-14. On October 17, the team went to Peru. Both teams were evenly matched, each making three touch-downs. Peru failed to kick the last goal. The playing of Zorn, Whitaker, Massey and the goal kicking of Captain Shields were the features of the game. The score was 21-20 in our favor. Our next was played at Auburn on November 3. Both teams showed Iztck of practice due to the rain in the early part of the week. It was a 21-6 victory for the Orange and Black. On Armistice day the weather prevented a game between Nebraska City and Falls City. Since both had full schedules a later game could not be arranged. On November 17, Falls City went to Omaha for a game with Creighton High. Falls City scored a touch-town the first five minutes of play but were unable to tally again. It was a 37-7 victory for Creighton High. On Thanksgiving day Hiawatha came to Falls City confident of an easy victory but Falls City showed them that it was impossible. Neither team scored during the first three quarters. In the last ten minutes of play Hiawatha scored a touch-down which gave them a 6-0 victory. Graduation will take the following from the team: Captain Shields, Crook, Cornford, Buising, Crush, Johnson, Massey and Lovelace. At the close of the season Wilburt Zorn was elected captain for the following year. The following games for 1923 are practically assured ; Pawnee City, Sabetha, Horton, Auburn, Nebraska City, Hiawatha, Peru and Tecumseh.— B. G. S. ’23. Pape thirty-three ORANCE AND BLACK 1923 Bovs’ Basket Ball notes When Basket Ball season opened a large number of players were out to practice. An inter-class tournament was held the first week, the Seniors taking first place. The prospects for a winning team were bright with Capt. Crook, Buising, Zorn, M. Whitford and Shields from last year’s Team and such material as Morris, Uhlig, Massey, G. Whitford and Lewis. The first game was played at Peru, January 5, our boys winning the game by a close score, 10-8. 'flic next game was played on the home floor with Nebraska City, the visitors receiving the long end of the 26-18 score. The following Friday, Falls City went to Pawnee City. Although Falls City was defeated it was neither side’s game until the final whistle blew. The score was 15-14. The next game was an easy victory for Falls City, Auburn being defeated 35-16. On January 26. Falls City went to Beatrice. At the end of the first half Falls City led by two points but failed to score the last half, while Beatrice made 14 points. February 2, Falls City was defeated on Hiawatha floor by a score of 26-16. The following week, Peru defeated the Orange and Black on the home floor by a close score of 16-11. February 16, Falls City took part in the tournament at Peru, Stella defeating our boys. The following Wednesday, Falls City played Auburn on their floor, the game was close and fast throughout. Auburn winning 15-14. The next game on the home floor was played with Hiawatha, March 2. This was the most interesting game of the season, victory going to Hiawatha with the score 18-14. The last game at home was a victory for Falls City, Pawnee was the opponent and the resulting score was 22-10. March 8-10, Falls City was entered in the State B. B. Tournament at Lincoln. The first game which was against Friend, was a victory for Falls City. Falls City lost in the second round to West Point, 14-4.—B. G. S. ’23.

Both Forwards were new, Margaret Forney had played as a Sub last year, and Mildred Elliott, who was new to this High School last fall, and Lovelle Sconce, Guard. The result of the team’s work was not due to any individual starring but to the spirit of the whole team and the willingness of the members to work together. However, n might lie well to briefly review the winning characteristics of each. Lydia Wulf, Captain, and for three years center on the team. She was the one who could give the confidence to the team from the first tip off. She played a cool headed game and has a scarcity of personal fouls against her for seasons she has played. The team will have a hard time replacing her. Mildred Elliott, forward, played a swift game, and managed to keep the enemy in a whirl following her. She is a good shot, and a well-seasoned player. Margaret Forney, attracted attention as forward on the Junior Team, and from then on she played on the school team. She has a way of standing near the basket and calmly tossing the ball through the loop, before the Guard can realize just how it is done. Esther Mettz, plays everywhere at once, and she never fails the signal of her tall partner. She is quick, sure and versatile enough to play forward in a two-court game. Her good playing in the Peru Tournament was rewarded by a place on the South-Eastern Nebraska Honorary Team. Sara Helen Simanton helped make the team’s strong defense. There was never a forward too tall or too swift for “Si” to torment, and more than once she made an enemy’s strong forward powerless. She plays a clean game, and never fowls. Sara Helen was another honor member on the South-Eastern Nebraska Team, chosen after the Peru Tournament. Lovelle Sconce, though entirely new in the game, came out and played like a veteran, in every match. She is a Junior and shows promise of another year of playing. The team depended on four others, in many of the games, Helen James, Forward; Marion Camblin, Guard; Martha Cameron, Guard; Nellie Lee Brecht, Forward and owes them more than a little for the success of the season. There are also the girls who came out steadily for practice that did their share, and who should receive some of the praise. Those who proved faithful in practice were; Gladys Morris, Opal Mullins, Anna Margaret Brecht, Mary Towle, Frances Pruesse, Genevieve Peterson, Helen Brown. Miss Halcyon Whitford and Miss Esther Jenkins, both assisted the team by refereeing games and by bringing out Alumni members for practice. To Miss Sue Stille, the Coach, is due much of the credit of making this year’s work so successful. —S. S.

The Seniors met the Juniors in the Finals, and not until the whistle did anyone know that the Juniors would carry off the banner with the score 10-9. January. 12—Regular Schedule began. Peru High game played on our floor. Falls City won easily 19-8. Jan. 19—Orange and Black team played on strange floor for first time in the season, at Pawnee. Again they brought home the lucky score of 19-8 Feb. 2—The game with the old enemy, Hiawatha, on their floor was the first real test. The quaking of the home rooters soon ceased as Hiawatha was never able to get the lead. Again our victory 17-12. Feb. 9—The return game with Peru on their own floor proved too much, and Falls City came home with her first defeat, 19-16. Feb. 23—The girls left for the South-Eastern Nebraska Tournament, held at Peru. Here they won fame by working into the finals. In the first game. Falls City met Salem, and won, 27-8. The girls drew another game for that evening with Murdock, and quickly put them out of the running with the score 40-16. The game in the Semi-F'inals with Auburn was a difficult one, and it was not until the last half that F. C. H. S. was able to get a safe lead, and finally win, with a score 28-17. This left Sterling and Falls City in the final race for the Cup that night. The game was close, and at the half the scores were nearly even but Sterling was the superior in Basket Shooting and they won 21-15. The team was honored at this time by having Sara Helen Simanton, Guard, and Esther Mettz, Second Center, placed on the honorary South-Eastern Nebraska Team. March 2—Hiawatha came here eager for revenge. Orange and Black gave them the second drubbing, the score 21-10. March 5—Pawnee City lost her second game to the home team on our floor with a score 30-1. March 9—The last game was another victory for Falls City when she defeated Auburn again 19-10.—S. S.

DEBATING SOCIETY Early in the second semester a debating society was organized under the supervision of Miss Holt. Because of the lack of time for training the team did not take part in inter-scholastic debates this year, although it is hoped that it will be able to do so next year. On April 13, the cl til) debated before the assembly on the question of, “Capital Punishment.” The affirmative, “Resolved that capital punishment should he abolished,” won the debate. The members on the affirmative team were—Martha Cameron, Carl Wittrock, Wilfred Young, and John Wiltse.

It is hoped that this short article may be the means of helping some of our Falls City young: people, of whom we are justly proud, to obtain the true perspective as to the future and the mission of BUSINESS. BUSINESS is a great, vast phase of our human existence, almost too vast, for which to find a clear, comprehensive definition. BUSINESS is that human activity which seeks to supply each deserving member of the family of mankind w’ith those things that are known to us as the necessities and the conveniences of life. Practically every able-bodied, mentally sound man and woman the world over is engaged in BUSINESS in some manner. The Professions are businesses, in which specialized services are rendered society by trained men and women. The farmer, great provider ot the race, and the laboring man and the craftsman, without whom we cannot get along, are all very much in business. Housewives are in business; some housewives are failures, some are very successful. BUSINESS is a melting-pot out of which finally emerge triumphantly only those who possess enough of those sterling qualities of human nature which are so much needed to upbuild the world. The world story of BUSINESS is one of the most romantic stories that can be told. We do not know when or where or how the first business “deal” took place. At first, of course, whenever one of those half savage ancestors of ours saw his neighbor make a stone hatchet or some other necessary article better than he him-seli could make one, he undoubtedly pounced upon that neighbor unawares, and killed him, and thus appropriated the desired implement. It must have been a good deal like killing “the goose that laid the golden eggs.” The happy day came, though, many ages later on, when the more intelligent man realized that it was bad business to rob and kill his brother craftsman and thus stifle forever such valuable talent. And in some unknown way, date or place unknown, the first “business deal” in history took place. It was one of those great events in history about which the world knows nothing, but which marked a tremendous forward step in civilization. For the first time man realized what the rest of mankind meant to him. Such was the humble but inspiring beginnings of business. Came then the days when tribes and nations transacted business deals with each other. The caravans of the desert and the ships of the sea were conceived through the inspiration of BUSINESS. BUSINESS opened the paths to human understanding. The integrity of BUSINESS has been violated many, many times down through history, between men and nations and hemispheres. And it is even so today. It is not BUSINESS which is at fault, but those who are in BUSINESS who are not intelligent enough to understand the mission and the dignity of BUSINESS. BUSINESS it was that sent Columbus across the waters and on to America. It was BUSINESS that built up this continent and made our cities great. It was BUSINESS that laid the steel rails across the wilderness of this country and brought civilization to this great Mississippi Valley. BUSINESS invented wireless, telephone, airships and radio. One ot the greatest forward steps in the world’s history was taken just two years ago, when the business men of twenty-eight nations of the world met together in Europe and organized the International Chamber of Commerce, thus tying the bonds of perpetual friendship between nations even more closely together than ever before. Keeping in mind the fact that you, Mr. High School Student, or you, Miss High School Student, are bound to follow some career that will doubtless be much concerned with the methods and the ways of business, the questions have come to you many times no doubt: How may I prepare for my life’s work? What should I study? How should I train myself? Prepare now for your life’s work by moulding your chaiacter aright. Most of all, the world needs TRUE MEN AND WOMEN. Business is essentially honest. ..Page fifty ORANCE AND BLACK 1923 Dishonest men in business may have succeeded at times, but it was in spite of BUSINESS and that for which BUSINESS stands. After all, most of the truly successful business men are good Christian men, who adhere to high principles. “Know thyself ’ said the oracle. Be true to yourself and with yourself. Dishonest habits will prove one’s ruin in the long run. To shirk your work, or watch the clock, or be cross with customers, or “pass the buck”—all these are as dishonest as robbing the cash till. “If you can fill each unforgiving minute With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run, Yours is the earth, and everything that’s in it, And, what is more, you’ll be a man, my son.” The Business world needs LOYAL men and women; loyal to the best interests of human service. Loyal to the highest aims of BUSINESS. Loyal to progress in business, and loyal to the Golden Rule, which is fast becoming the fundamental precept in all business the world over. The world needs HEALTHY men and women. Poor health cannot stand the pace. The world needs UPRIGHT men and women; upright morally. The time is passing when a man can be a Dr. Jekyl in business and a Mr. Hyde in his private life. An unworthy private life shall condemn to failure any business enterprise, and it should be so. Character building can be started at once, now', at this very minute. What studies will help in my career? First. A Thorough Knowledge of the Mother Tongue. The good grammarian, the fluent speaker, is still a rare thing. Yet never was there such a demand for the man who can express himself with clarity and accuracy as there is now. Then: A Knowledge of History. History gives us vision. To know History is to be a part of every event, and a hero of every act of daring and of romance, in the story of the world. History broadens us, and helps us to distinguish the good from the bad and the right from the wrong. And: Science: Biology helps us to understand ourselves. Physics helps us to understand all of nature’s ways, and this is important. Chemistry explains to us some of the great mysteries of nature and of life. Study Science. And: Latin: Latin develops the logical and the analytical mind. Latin may be a “dead” language in one respect, but it is very much alive as an important factor in our world of organizations and governments. From Latin sixty per cent of our own language is derived. Study Latin if you get the chance. Read good literature: This gives you truer perspectives on life, and introduces you to realms of unknown beauty in life. Read Dickens’ “Christmas Carol,” as a suggestion for the great cheer it can bring to you. See the librarian at the local library; she will be more than glad to help you outline a good reading course. Spend two hours a week reading good books. Some day you will realize the treasure chest those two hours a week will have brought for you. There is no way of telling how many of you who are in High School at the present time, will decide finally to stay in Falls City, and build homes here, and go into business here, and help Falls City to grow and become better. Let it be said here, Falls City needs young people like you. Falls City would like to keep you, and help you to grow in business here and live here. Falls City is a fast growing community, and it is quite possible that it may be a very substantial city in the course of twenty-five years. It is one of the best located cities in the United States, of its size. It holds a big future, if we have the right kind of manpower to help in the building of the city. The Chamber of Commerce of Falls City, composed of two hundred business and professional men and others interested in the growth and welfare of this Home City of ours, extends its congratulations to the fine Class of ’23, and wishes you all a successful and happy and a fruitful life.

They are intermingled with roofs of buildings, branches of trees and pitiful cries. But look at that! A large cushioned chair floating gently along.
