Four hundred years later-1894-the energetic and hard working students in the Fort Scott High School were divided into two factions by the two literary societies, the Kappa Delta and the Sigma Mu, between which there was a strong feeling of riv- alry. The two societies took turns in writing a paper which was read before the school once a month. The rivalry existing between the societies caused them to write some spicy and clever pa- pers which were the forernnners of the annual published at the present time by the Senior class. About 1901 this custom was discon- tinued and a paper called t'The Crim- son was composed and printed once a week in folder form by Zlll editorial stati' elected froln the school. This dis- pensed with the old rivalry in a meas- 11re, and the paper was popular for a few years. The weekly publications finally prov- ed to be too frequent to arouse interest. and so a monthly pamphlet containing about thirty pages took its place. The class of 1910 discontinued the Inonthly paper and compiled the tirst annual, which immediately won the support of the studentsg and each year since then the Senior class has publish- ed an annual. The classes of '1-1 and '15 published a bi-weekly paper in addition to the annual Crimson. Since that time the Crimson items have been published in the city newspa- pers once a week, each English class furnishing the material in its turn. From the present outlook il appears that an annual of similar form will be published for several years to comeg and each class, profiting by the experi- ences of the preceding one, will aspire to compile a better and more interest- ing annual. WE, the class of '17, want to thank the Juniors for the splendid sup- port which they have so generously given to us in the completion of this annual. No help was asked, they gave freely. unsolicited. XVe pledge them our help next year and wish them every success. W HHN we heard the class of '16 talk- ing about hating to leave the dear old F. S. H. S., we laughed behind our handkercliiefs. The idea that any one should hate to leave school was prepos- terous unthinkable! But this year we have changed our minds. SONIC of us will go on to college, but to the major- ity, school days are over. Thus it is with real regret that we say good-bye to you all. THE CRIMSON THE CRIMSON 33 l FOOTBALL 4 REAM BIRD L.

He was the fastest man on the team and was good in breaking up tl1e opponents, pet plays. Duke was fast at breaking up interference, and a mar- vel at keeping his feet and carrying the ball. He was always down on punts and passes. His keen judgment in selecting plays and the cool n1an- ner in wlnch l1e piloted the team proved llllll one of the best high school quarters in the state. George played in several games and will no doubt be valuable next year. Heiney , was our right half-back. He was a man with speed to burn and a remarkable ground gamer. He will be graduated this year much to the regret of tl1e whole sQhQ01,.L.. ..-L . L Arehie,,, as a tackle, was always in every play and could be counted on to open a big hole on the offense. He will be with us again next year. You could always depend upon Kirby,, to stop a danger- ous llllt'-lJlllllQCl'. He played his lirst year at football and was 111 every game every minute. Nothing could stop Brady's charging when carrying the hall. lhs tackling was low and certain. NVQ expect great things lrom lnm next tall. THE CRIMSON THE CRIMSON 35 In '6John, F. S. H.

There was never a play in whicl1 he did not take a prominent part both on the otTense and defense. , Fields was a guard who ilayed every minute and could FIELDS 1 be depended upon lo get under the opponents, plays. CHENEY was a dangerous half-back who gained ground Daly played tackle in every game and did his best work DALY on tl1e offense. He was a relief man to Dutch,' and would plunge through the line for a long gain every time. Although this was Harold's first year in football, he de- H, GORDON veloped a knack of hitting hard which got him into sev- eral games during the season. F. H. possessed a powerful full-back in s6IJl1lCll,,, STOREY who was great at line plunging. XVhen Dutch failed to puncture the line it was impossible to do so. 4 l'hogy returned from tl1e border in time for the last THOGMARTIN part of the season. He was a bear-cat at stopping oppon- ents' plays illlil a good ground gainer with the ball. Tallman was another iirst-year man who showed up TALLMAN well. He will undoubtedly make good next year.

U BOYS' BASKET BALL U The Senior boys won the Penniman trophy for inter-class basket ball this year. That 1Sl1,t a surprise when we read about the line-up. DALY MARSHALL FRARY CHENEY WOODARD POWELL SCOTT Tom was able, by his height, to drop tl1e ball through the basket and many times helped to win the game. Squawks', was good at shooting baskets and played a fast defensive game. His eyes were always on the ball. Jawn's', height was a valuable asset to the tealn, as the tip-otl was practically assured. He was the free-throw man. Chens,, played forward and helped his team out several limes. Lee eame out late hut surprised all by his fast running. He was a gun at guard position. Here was a fast, snappy little player. XV hen he shot for a basket, it was a never-nnss shot. Seotty'5 guarded his oppo11e11t carefully and thus helped the Seniors win the cup.

XVhen Mr. Rodeeker presented this eup to the High School, he made the terms sueh that it would be very dittieult for any class to win it for a permanent elass trophyg for to do that, one elass had to win in the tournaments three eonseeu- tive years. The class of '17 did this, the first time being when they were Sopho- mores. Since then they have won eaeh year with almost the same team. The players on the team this year were: Seniors . Juniors . . Freslimen . . Sophomores . . Anna Jaquay, Florence lialmey, Fran- ees Strong, Dorothy Xxvllll2llllS, Merce- des Sullivan, Bessie Cleland, Mazie Sie- vert, Lola Armstrong, and Voyla Abing- ton. The nalnes of all the girls who play- ed any part of a game this year were engraved on the cup. The eup was pre- sented to the sehool by Capt. Jaquay, who expressed the desire that il be placed with our eolleetion of trophy eups.

The name 6'Ad Meliorav means toward better things and expresses the members, attitude in establishing this society. The Ad Meliora Society was organiz- ed with the idea ot' training its mem- bers for public speaking, to give them a better understanding of parliamen- tary rules, and to prepare them for Pro and Con. Gold and blue are the colors chosen by the society. The work of the society has progress- ed rapidly during the year under the supervision of Miss Lewis, who is also the critic. The work consists principal- ly of readings, travelogues tllld debates, while some historical research Work has also been done. Occasionally a dra- matic sketch taken from some well- known book has been presented. Bio- graphies of American authors and art- ists are interesting subjects that have been taken up. Otticers were elected every eight weeks. Members who have held 01llCGS are: President-Violet Cochran, Carme Jones, Grace Ball. Vice-President - Liebe Penniman, Violet Cochran, Florence Fmstead. Secretary--Helen Cobb, Mabel Rollo, Genevieve Reagan. Treasurerfliernice Ptodeeker, Kath- erine Dickmann, Blanche Kennedy. The various committees of the soci- ety are the Program Committee, the Membership Committee, and the Con- stitutional Committee. Regular meetings are held every Monday afternoon during the eighth period. Any member of the Faculty, or any member of the Freshman Class may become a member ot' this society by taking the membership pledge. A fee of tive cents a term is required of all members. THE CRIMSON 39 N direct contrast to the generally ac- cepted idea that school societies be- come less eilicient as tl1ey grow older, is the record of Pro and Con for the year 1916-17. Never before in the dozen or more years of its existence has the Pro and Con accomplished such excellent results. From the very first, things started oil' with a snap which has never wancd throughout the whole year. Ev- ery branch of oral composition has been handled with success. Every member is now better fitted to meet the greater questions of life. Debate a11d dramatization have taken a prominent part in the year's work. The very live question of Resolved: That the United States Government should have a law providing for old age pensionsw was successfully handled by Marion Power, Malcolm Todd, and Pauline Newman on the aflirmativeg and Ella Ryan, Roscoe Thomas, and Stanton Hudson on the negative. The play Miser of Raveloe was equally well handled by the dramatic section of tl1e society. 011 May the first the club held its an- nual banquet in the high school dmmg room. The menu was as follows: Grape Fruit Cocktail Casserole of Rice and Meat Tomato Sauce Duchess Potatoes Asparagus in Cases Parker House Rolls Orange-Rhubarb Marmalade leed Tea Lime Salad Cheese Crackers Vanilla Ice Cream with Strawberries Angel Food Cake Oflicers For the Year.

They held what is termed a trian- gular contest with Iola and Chanute. By means of this system Fort Scott sent a debate team and a declaimer to Cha- nutcg Chanute sent a debate tealn and a declaimer to lolag and that city in turn sent a debate team and a declaimer to Fort Scott. Thus a contest occurred in each of the three places on the same night. The question for debate was Re- solved: That the Federal Government should pass appropriate legislation making possible a minimum wagef, Each town kept her attirmative team at home and sent her negative team away. Neil YVard, Archie Pellett, and Fran- ces Adams, accompanied by their able coach, Miss Seagrave, left for Chanute early Friday morning. On their arrival they were met by students who took them to both the Junior and the Senior High Schools. They were then royally entertained at dinner at the home of Supl. Hughes. During the afternoon they visited the gymnasium Where the contest was to be held, in order to ac- custom themselves to their surround- ings. The contest was held at eight o'clock. It went otf with the snap that rivalry al- ways causes. But since Neil and Archie were so thoroughly convinced that min- imum wage would never, never do, the judges were compelled to grant a unan- imous decision in their favor. Frances Adams likewise gained a unanimous de- cision from the judges for her interpre- tation of The Littlest Rcbclf, THE CRIMSON 41 Albert Zook Coeha Ball Will O'Connor HE Iola contestants arrived about tive o,clock Friday afternoon, and we tried to show them every courtesy. The lnemory of last year's defeat still rankled, and they came determined to wipe it out. t'nfortunately for them, we were likewise determined to wi11. And with a Hpeppy bunchu back of them, Albert Zook and XVill 0'Connor convinced Iola and the judges that a minimum wage law should be adopted. Cocha Ball held the audience eveiy min- ute during the delivery of her declama- tion, The Messengers at the XVindow. Although two of the judges gave their decision in favor of Iola, we are justly proud of Cocha's effort. She is to he complimented, too, on the graceful way in which she accepted her defeat. After the contest, a reception was held on the second iloor in order that everyone could become better acquaint- ed with the Iola people. Alas, right in the midst of the reception, the telephone message came from Chanute that we had won both points unanimously. Im- mediately the reception turned into a jubilee, and everyone felt duly proud of our Iligh School representatives. According to the rules of the contest. the winning debate teams received five dollars and the victorious declaimers two dollars and a half each. This money was turned into the school treasury and will he used in purchasing pictures for the study hall. To show our contestants how much we appreciate their efforts. the faculty decided to grant them an otticial for- ensic 'FI which they might wear as a mark of honor Zlllll distinction. The letter will be in different design from the athletic 'FI so that the two will not he confused. Now that the custom has been established, students should strive as eagerly for forensic letters as they do for honors of any other type. 42 THE CRIMSON 6 DRAMATICS l l I SEMEEQQ ?HaAY SENIOR PLAY.

Gaynell Shaver in the role of Peggy simply carried the audience away by her ''all-of-a-sudden'' pranks, manners. and sayings. Lewis Vxleleh as Jimmie Keppel won the audience as well as Peggy by l1is sturdy and manly ways. Leland YVoodard, an English sport and dude, could not have been better, Hby .Iove.', Coeha Ball and Ruby Uber, as the matrons of tl1e play, were both excel- lent in their parts and showed a great deal of character study. Mercedes Sullivan as Millicent added greatly to the play with her life and spirit. Malcolm Todd, an absent-minded professor, had the misfortune to fall in love. He kept the audience laughing every time he appearedl And then there was Bessie Cleland as a gossiping young society woman. Imagine it, if you can! Ressie Cleland gossiping! However, she did it to per- fection that night. Tom Daly as Jack Menzies a11d Harry Spencer in the dual parts of Lucas a11d Parker made these minor, though ditli- cult parts, perfect and added a splen- did touch to tl1e play.

THE CRIMSON THE CRIMSON 49 BRARY Q THE LI l HE work in the library this your has been quite a contrast to that of prov- ious years. The 11eed of some sort ot' system in the use of the library had long been soon by Mr. Devlin and other members of the facultyg but just what that system would be was not decided until this year. Two pupils from ouch period were chosen to take charge of the library und give out the books as they were called for. The plan is three-fold in its effects, in that it has benefited the teachers. the pupils, and the librarians. The faculty is able to see just how much outside reading the students are doing. The pu- pils can get the books and find their references more readily. The librarians have acquainted themselves with many authors whom they had no previous knowledge of. All have cultivated a love for good books, a habit which it is well tor anyone to torm. Generally speaking. the plan has boon very successful, and it is hoped that it will be continued throughout future years. Librarians' Banquet. On .lanuary 25th, the librarians were treated to a banquet wlnch was served by the advanced cooking class. The method ot training the memories ot our High School companions by fimng them five conts when they forgot to return their books brought in a sutliciont amount to entertain the librarians. .lust as u reminder ot how well they were fed, here IS the menu: Fruit Cocktail Meat Loaf Potatoes au Gratin Creamed Peas in Timbales Orange Marmalade Hot Biscuit French Pickles Vanilla Ice Cream with Hot Chocolate Sauce Date Nut Bars Coffee Mints After enjoying such good eating, they were entertained w1tl1 utter- dlnner speeches by Mr. Devlin, Mr. Ramsey, Miss Seagrave, Miss Presslar, Miss Hughes, Frances Adams, Zlllll Al- bert Zook. The place cards were very appropri- ate, boing in the form of u book, and they represented the books with which the librarians worked and also their Hook of Life.

Qttank 13 ACK CARLICTON pressed a letter to his lips and slniled contentedly. The many, many miles that separated him, an aviator bfllllltl for the front usome- where in Francef, from the little girl back home in America, seemed lessened wonderfully by that letter. The trai11 of box-cars in which the troops were being hauled passed slowly onto a siding to make room for an am- bulance train which was returning from the front. A group of white-clad 11urses stood on the platform, ready to take charge of the wounded. .lust as Jack was care- fully putting the letter into his pocket one of tl1em, a tall, beautiful girl of dis- tinctly American type, turned and blew a kiss from her pretty lingers to the sol- diers on the train. Something about the girl appealed to l1i1n instantly. The soft, beautiful fea- tures, the aristocratic tilt of her dimpled chin, the wonderful mass of dark hair which strayed from under the nurse's bonnet, the touch of the girlish daring which she had just shown, thrilled hin1 and filled l1i1n with a desire to know more of l1er. .lack leaped from the car and hailed the station-master for information. 6'Name's Eva Lewis, American, and Red Cross nursefi barked that individ- ual. Eva Lewisfi thought Jack as he swung himself into the car. She's probably another American out after adventures like myself. Gee! lid ditch one of His Majestyis aeroplanes and ser- iously injure one of his promising young aviators, if I thought I could get a peach like her for a nurse. Life in camp was uneventful for the first week. Jack went on several scout- ing expeditions but had no chance to take part in an actual skirmish. Eva Lewis gradually faded from his mind as lnost such fancies do, and Jack was settling down to work when-- things happened. One afternoon about six o'clock Ger- man scouts were sighted flying in the distance. Although it was late to send men up, Jack and two other aviators were ordered to take their machines and pursue the enemyfs craft. Jack was afire with excitement. lt was his first skirmish, and he knew he would be watched on this account. Here was a chance for some glory, and he in- tended to make the most of it. The helper rolled his machine from the shed. Show us 'ow to do il, Yanky boy!,' he called. .lack smiled and nodded. The engine started with a 1'02l1'. His machine was first to leave the ground, and Jack im- mediately led his companions. The specks in tl1e distance rapidly became larger. Tl1e Germans, realizing the inferiority in speed of their craft, were il'yll1Q to gain greater altitude for the advantage in fighti11g. In a few minutes he was close to the leading German machine. There was a rush, a roar, a whir of tlying propellers, a crash, and .lack felt his machine hurt- li11g earlhward. He quickly recovered fI'0lll the shock and attempted to right his machine, but it was too late. There was a blinding crash, a shivering shock. His first sensation on rousing was a dull drowsiness, then a bursting, throb- bing pain shot through his head, and l1e lapsed into unconsciousness witl1 a low moan. He was called back to sensibil- ity by soft, cool hands gently rubbing his throbbing head. At first he thought of nothing except that the hands fwithout doubt a wo- l1ltll1,S handsj were deliciously soft and cool. and that the pain was gradually abating. Then he vaguely wondered how he CHIIIC there. The last thing he remem- bered was leaving his sweetheart to go for adventures in England, where he was to join the aviatio11 corps. The aviation corps? Oh yes! It came back to him distinctly now. The fight, the collision, the fall, the flatten- ing out of his machine before it hit the ground. That last was what saved hiln. But where was he now? He remembered being well over the German lines when the iight occurred. Then his attention flashed back to the hands again. The GOI'lIlil1lS did not usu- ally pet their prisoners in this manner, fthat he knew. He opened his eyes. It was night, for a stream of delicious moonlight flowed through a window in the room where 99 T H li C R IMSON 53 he was lying and rested on a door op- posile. In a few moments there was a rap on the door. The woman at his bedside rose and walked into the moonlight. As she stepped into it, .lack gasped. The face which the moon lit up was soft and beautiful. The mass of dark hair stray- ed from under the nurse's bonnet in the same bewitching n1a11ner as o11 the sta- tion platform the first day he had seen il Eva Lewis V, Hush, you fool!,' she hissed. as she whirled towards him. Tl1e11 collecting herself, she turned and opened the door. S'How is your American friend. Miss 'NVorden? inquired a voice with a strong German accent. Doing nicely, thank you. There were no bones broken, and unless inflamma- tion breaks out in the bruises, he will be up---', And fighting for the Germans. in- terrupted the voice with a laugh. XVell, itls to be hoped. Good night. Goodnight, and she closed the door and came quickly back to his bedside. Pardon me for speaking so rudely just now. llut say! XVhen you called my name, I nearly 'crumbed the deal' as we say at home. 'tllow so? asked Jack. XVell, since we must both pull to- gether to get out of here, it's no more than fair that I should let you in on the ground lloor. Especially since I know all about youf' She laughed softly. You see it's my duty to read any papers found on the wounded and to notify their relatives. Your letter 'from a little girl back home' was especially full of information. But to get down to business. At home I am a movie actressg and as my company is to put on a big war picture. they sent me over here as a nurse to get 'color' for it. A few days ago a vol- unteer was called to dip through the lines and appear to the Germans as a deserter. Information was to be col- lected from the agents inside the Ger- man lines. and the volunteer was to re- turn at the first opportunity. XVith the idea of having a little adventure and also getting color for my picture. I vol- unteered. And here I am. she laughed a little hysterically. Yes, but where do I come in ? quer- ied .lack after a pause. 'Well, when you made your debut i11to German society. I thought I saw my chance. I immediately claimed you as an American friend who had been trying to escape from the allies. The connnander here, a thick-headed old German, fell for it at once and agreed to give you a place in the tlying corps as soon as you recover. Once you're in there, it will be a fairly easy lnatter to escape. She had risen while speaking and lighted a small table lamp. The soft. mellow light falling on her as she spoke made her appear more beautiful than ever, and Jack gazed on her with open admiration. By Jove! Youlre a wonder, he ex- claimed at length. Jaek's free, easy Illtlllllttl' and Iiva's great beauty freed them immediately from any suspicion the Germans might have fell. .lack was promised that with- i11 a week he would be a regular mem- ber of the German tlying corps, and while he was permission to wished. It therefore noon, three days after Jack's entrance a11d Eva went for a stroll recovering he was given go about the camp as he happened that one after- into camp, he across the aviation tield. They walked over to where a num- ber of machines stood lined up ready for tlight. A few soldiers who were ly- ing on the ground in the shade of the machines greeted them pleasantly. They strolled to the machine farthest front tl1e men and appeared to be ex- amining it. Careful.', whispered .lack as Eva started to climb quickly into the ma- chine. 6'Not too fast. I'll pretend to be explaining it to you. In reality I'll be looking it over to see if itls ready to run. A step was heard, and they whirled. .A soldier appeared and called excitedly. Es ist verboten. .lack pretended not to understand. The fellow grinned and started away. Quick, Jack. He's gone for an in- terpreter and will be back in a min- utef, she urged excitedly. She was already in her place and he leaped into his. He whirled the engine. It missed. He whirled it again. The engine coughed. sputtered, and then set- 54 'THE CRIMSON tlcd down to a steady roar, and they were otf. As they rose in the an' Jack saw ma- chines in the distance. 'l'hey were prob- ably ally craft, and taking a chance he headed straight for them. Already a German machine was in pursuit. It was gaining rapidly, and as .lack looked the German tired at them with his reL volver. .lack motioned Eva to crouch down and urged his machine to the limit. He was warned and realized his only hope lay in the machines ahead proving to be friends. These had sighted his and his pursuer and had changed their course to meet them. .lack turned to look at the pursuing craft. It was very close now. 'l'he Ger- man had evidently spied the encoming craft, for he raised a lield glass to his eyes, gazed through il a second, drop- ped it, tired again at .lack's machine, and gave up the chase. The oncoming machines were l'riends. lioth .lack and Eva l'elt the need of rest after their adventure, and as liva had friends who lived a few lniles back of the lines, they sought permission, which was immediately granted, to leave the front and spend a few days with them. About six hours after their escape they were in an old country l'armhouse well back ol' the lines. They were guests of an old Frenchman and his wife who had years before been servants in Evals family. Jack retired early, but thoughts of his recent adventures and the beautiful 9 girl, who had saved him from the Ger- man prison camp, crowded upon him and fought away sleep. Finally he rose and glanced out of the window. It was a beautiful moonlight night, and as sleep was impossible, he dressed and started to leave the house when a soft voice called to him. 'tXVait a minute, Jackf' She caught up with him in a moment, and together they walked through the orchard at the back of the house, talk- ing ot' the day's adventure. Or rather she talked. .lack was sile11t. The magnetic pres- ence of the beautiful girl at his side seemed to overpower him, and he was seized with an impulse to clasp her in his arms, to press her lips to his, to call her his own. And lllCI1-- A stray mooubeanl glanced through the trees and lit up the beautiful coun- tenance which was turned toward him. The impulse conquered. He caught her to him. 'GEva, I love you. I have sent in my resignation. NVe will go to Paris at once and be married,', he burst out clumsily. Jack, you silly b0y!', she laughed, pushing him from herg what about the girl back home ? I don't love her! I love you! he hlurted out eagerly. t'XYell, I will go to Paris with you, but there you must leave me and return to America. You see, I meet my husband and two children there.

XYhen her husband died, Au11t Hhody mourned him sincerely and continued to reside on the farm. To her relatives and friends, when they begged her to make her home with one of her children, she said, No, 'Zeekial and l lived here for forty-eight years. lt's home to me, and I couldn't be satisfied any where else. At last Iinding persuasions in vain. the old lady's friends let her have her own way, only taking care that some one dropped in each day in a neighbor- ly way to see that all was well with her. Immediately after tier husband's death, Aunt Hhody disposed ot' all the stock, but finding it an inconvenience to ask hor neighbors to take her lo clnlrch Zlllll to market, she soon decided to buy l1er a gentle horse and be inde- pendent. At last she found a black horse, still' in every joint and blind in one eye. But the man assured her. He's been a good traveler in his day and he can still make good lime, but he's as gentle as a lamb. Aunt Pthody came ot' Puritan stock. and her strict ideas concerning the oh- servance of the Sabbath made even a smile on this day seem a wite ot' the Evil Une. Between her home and the village lay the county fair ground and its race track. Aunt Rhody held this place in righteous horror, and when passing it always turned her head the other way. Especially on Sunday would she have deemed it a sin to look on this place ot' worldly amusements. One Sunday morning arrayed in her old fringed dolman, with her little old- fashioned bonnet set iirmly on her short gray curls, she went to church as usual, listened devoutly to the sermon, shook hands with her pastor, told him what a great help tl1e sermon had been to her, and set out for home and the Great Adventure. Slowly illlll dejectedly Tennyson, de- risively called by the younger genera- tion 5'Fleet-foot,', took his way home- ward. On nearing the race track, both the steed and his driver hoard shouts ot' Let ,em go,', Go it, Niggerj' Beal iem, Dixie. Aunt Hhody took a lleeting glanee and saw that the gate was open, some of the youngsters were training their eolts tor the tall fair. Uh the ungodli- ness ol' this generation, sighed she, turning her eyes resolutely away. Such a thing could not have happened in my youth. The young men would never have dared to so profane this day. Tennyson, however, had no such scruples. As he drew l1l'tll'l'l' the gate his pace quickened, until when he reached it he whisked into the enclos- ure and o11 to the track. There, with head extended, he started in to show those eolts how the thing was done. The boys were startled for a moment at the apparition ot' Aunt Rhody sitting horritied in the buggy sawing madly on the reins. Then such a whoop ot' glee as ascended to the high heavens was never heard before or since on the llouston Fair Grounds. The drivers looking around, saw the cause ot' tl1e commotion and drew to one side to watch the fun. Cries from the grand stand of Go it, Aunt. lihodyf' l'll bet on that combina- tion every time, 'Ata boy, Ain't Fleet-l'oot a bird? and other impish yells ot' eneouragement, nearly drove Aunt lihody wild and she sawed harder on the reins. lint the noise was music to 'l'ennyson's ears, and taking the bit in his teeth he swept on. Aunt Rhody's dolman tlutlered in the breeze, her bonnet fell back from her head, and the short gray curls forgot they danced and bobbed in as impish glee as tl1at which inspired the whoop- ing boys. On dashed the black horse, faster and faster. Three times he tlashed round tl1e track, and then somehow, Aunt Hhody never knew just how, she got him otl' the track and out on the road. There the excitement left him, and poor old Tennyson, his brief tlash of youth gone, walked dejectedly home. There, shamed and lnuniliated, Aunt Rhody unhitehed tllltl stahled him. The next week she sold him to a kind old neighbor, where she was sure he would always have a good home. l3ut,', she said, t never could drive a horse again at'ler he had shown no more re- spect t'or the Sabbath than Tennyson has. -Nettie David. 56 T H E C It I M S O N VVHAT THE WINDS SAID. Utank 35 Hl,I.L tell you what let's do! XVhy not go and have old Gustave tell us a story 7 It's raining too hard for the pic- nic and not hard enough for the tour of thc garret. And anyway, Jean and Jack haven,t heard any ot' his yarnsf' Here .Ioe paused for a breath, and before he started again, we decided that a trip to Gustave's old shop would be the very thing. Jean and Jack, twi11s, and our city friends, were visiting our village, and we had bee11 busy showing them a 'igood timef' Donning our rain coats and caps we started out. HXVho is Gustave, and why are his stories so popular?', queried Jean. So Joe, being self-appointed spokesman, answered, t6He's an old lltllltlll -cobbler who came to America when he was a little boy. I said old, he appears to be quite old, but his eyes are bright and twinkling, and he's as spry as any of us. So I think his white hair comes from trouble rather than old age. No one knows his last name. Everyone calls him Gustave. He says he came here when a boy to learn the shoeman's trade and English. Then he returned to Italy to teach it to his brother. They thought America was the only place to learn either. Several years later he re- turned to the t'nited States and settled here. No one paid much attention to him at first, but shortly the youngsters began telling their parents about his buried cities, fairies, dwarfs, and the like. Now, everyone goes to hear his tales of long ago. Thatis all that is known about him. There's some mys- tery about his former life, though, and I wish he'd tell usf, XVe had reached the shop, and as we entered Jack made some remark about the wind coming up. XVc entered and found the cobbler serenely Sllllllilllg an old clay pipe. Not working today?,' I asked. XVell, per- haps youill tell us a story, then. These are my friends from the city, illltl I want them to hear one. He motioned for us to be seated on some stools and low chairs about the rooln. YVe drew them up and waited expectantly. Pres- ently he asked, XVhat shall it be about?H He looked at Jean, and I had a vague feeling that we were about to hear the true story of his past life. .lean answered, 't0h, please tell us what the wind is saying! And so he began. Once, many years ago in the beauti- ful city of Genoa, there lived a noble family consisting of an Earl, his wife, a11d two handsome sons. 'NVith them lived a beautiful young girl whom the Earl had adopted when she was only a few days old, for he had longed for a beautiful daughter. She, too, was of noble birth and was the same age as his younger son. Years passed by, and the youngsters grew up together, happy in the friendship of one another. Final- ly, as was the custom i11 his family, the old Earl sunnnoned his sons to him and said, 'The time has now come when you are to depart from your father's house and make your own way. You are to leave tomorrow, a11d we are not to see you again until you return at the age of twenty-five. Good-bye, and God bless you both.' The old man tur11- ed and left the brothers staring at each other in bewilderment. Presently their mother came and bade them good-bye. She repeated the t'ather's instructions and was leaving when Gus, the younger lad, said, 'But may we not see Beatrice this evening?, 'Yes,' she answered, 'you may visit with her as much as you like. After you leave none of us are to see you until you retur11. Again, good-bye., She kissed and embraced them and Imr- ried from tl1e room. 'I'm going to Iind l'3eatrice,' said Gus, and he, too, hurried from the room into the garden, never noting the frown of annoyance on his brother's brow. George went to his room to think matters over. At last Gus found Beatrice in the garden by the fountain. She was watch- ing the tish, but as he approached she jumped up and tripped gracefully to- ward him. Noting the strange expres- sio11 on his face she stopped short and said, 6NVhy so sad, brother mine? Vlvlltlliii happened now'?' He explained what had just occurred and in conclus- ion said, 'Beatrice, I want you to wait for me. Stay here and comfort Mother and Father and wait for me. The day I am twenty-tive, I'll come to you. I swear I will. You'll wait, won't you, dear? I know George wants to lnarry you, but Iim conceited enough to think you care most for me. Don't you?' Long had the two been sweethearts and THIS CRIMSON 57 she readily promised. 'Of course l'll wait. But, 0 Gus, l don't want you to got' A little later George came with the same request. 'No, Georgef she an- swered, 'I like you, but I love Gus, and I have just promised to be his bride. Good-bye, George, and good luck. Take care of Gusf She left him muttering to himself, GOI1, yes, l'll take care of him. Maybe you'll be his bride, maybe you won't.' ' Five years elapsed. George, now a prominent lawyer in Venice, returned home. The Earl, now an old, grey- haired man, welcomed his son heartily. After dinner, the young man's mother and Beatrice anxiously asked after Gus. 'I don't know where he is now, mother,' George answered, 'the last time I heard of hin1 directly, he had entered a big shoe factory in New York City, in America, you know. Bill two months ago, La Bue, one of my lawyer friends, who had just returned from America, told me that Gus had died from fever, and--7 A moan and a dull thud at his right side attracted his attention. Beat- rice had fainted. They carried her to ll1e sofa and applied restoratives, but it was several hours before she recovered. NYhen she did and had composed her- self, she asked for all the news of his brother. 'NVell, it seems as though he had advanced, and just about a year before his death he had become mana- ger of the factory. La Bue read the will. All his property and money was left to an old couple who had befriend- ed him and had taught him the English language. And this clause was added to the will. 'It is my last wish that my brother, George, who will be in Genoa, Italy, in 1899, marry Beatrice l.ebard.' So you see, Betty, you are mine, after all, lny love., The girl slmddered and exclaimed, 'Ah, yes, George, so that will says. But my heart tells me differently. I shall leave for lVlother lVlarie's Convent im- mediatelyf She left the rooln and George sought his father and mother, told them all that had occurred, and asked for advice and help. Lady Agnes left them talking over business and looked for Beatrice. XVhen she found the sorrowful girl, she said, 'NVhy weep and be so obstinate, child? You loved Gus, dearly, didn't you? XVell, then. why not obey his last request? If he jj . had not wanted you to marry George, knowing he couldn't, would he have asked it? Too, you must consider your father who is growing ohl, and myselff So the lady finally persuaded Beatrice lo marry George. Years passed. George and Beatrice, with their twin children and parents moved to the great city of New York. About the same time Gus, being twenty- live and of great prominence in Chi- cago, returned to Italy to the lovely bride, who, he thought, waited for him in Genoa. All the servants believed him to be dead, and he had a hard time iden- tifying himself. At last he succeeded, and the old house-keeper, a garrulous woman, told him all that happened. Sorrowfully, Gus returned to America, but not to Chicago. He settled i11 a lit- tle Pennsylvania village as near Beat- rice as he dared. He changed his mode of living and never told his story or true name. He learned of his father,s death and later of his mother'sg of George's success, but never attempted to find them. Ile told the villagers that he had always been a cobbler. And soft he concluded, that is the story of my life as the winds are telling it. Pointing to .Iean, he continued, '6Some- thing about your eyes and smile remind me of my lost Beatrice. Your hair, too, is dark and wavy as hers was. XVhat is your mother's name, child?' he asked suddenly. fl hadnit introduced themlj t'YVhy, now it is Beatrice Lebard. It was I.ehard before her marriage. She married her foster brother. Oh, are you lny father's brother? Are you my lost uncle? Are you?,' And she ran, arms outstretched, to the trembling old man. t'lVlother has often told us the story of how father tricked her, and how, af- ter his confession, they tried to find you. You are our tfncle Gustave, aren't you? Father's dead, now. He died of heart failure two years ago. Come back with us, won't you?,, .Iack by this time had recovered and was asking as many questions as Jean. .Ioe and I slipped out and ran home to tell mother. She telegraphed for Beat- rice Lebard. Beatrice came, and before long she and Gustave decided to begin again and forget those long years of estrangement. ----Dorothy XVilliams.

THE CRIMSON 69 M m sPEc11v1ENs OF COMPOSITION PEP. EP is an abbreviation for pepper. XVebster says pepper is hot. So we conclude that pep is only a few degrees cooler. One can not buy pep at the drug store as he would pepsin. nor can he cultivate it in his front yard as he would pepper grass. Pep is contagious. The germ is usually found in the vocal organs and is easily conveyed into the air by words or yells. XVhen the disease is at its worst the victim is often sub- ject to spasmodic eruptions which may last from two minutes to one hour. Pep germs vary in color the same as pepper. Freshman pep is greeng Sophomore pep is pale, almost whiteg .lunior pep is fiery redg and Senior pep is usually black, which shows that the germs are gradu- ally decaying. Sometimes the faculty contract the disease. Physicians usually discover a mixture of germs on the vocal chords of teachers showing that they have been exposed to all classes of pep. In this form the disease is most violent. To illustrate the effect of the ravages of the germs. we print the fol- lowing picture. a .S MZ N Q 14 qi I Y . verjbulj IS 1 hi 411' fthe lflllm orJ'um0'rS nEICYjhl4, ns FORT SCOTT X --T? 1' H F , X f 4 -, An equation for Chemistry students: Gaynell+Roy F outs:Gaynell Fouts. TRAGEDY. SENIOR was cramming for his last final examination. It was long past midnightg the fire was lowg the Senior's eyes were heavy with sleep. Hours be- fore he had partially disrobed for the night. His collar and tie lay on a chairg his shoes were under the table. Things equal to each other are not equal to an- other--no, that isnit it. The hypoten- use of a square is equal to the sums of the angles-if I could only wake up long enough to get this. He leaned back in his chair, ran his fingers through his curls, and was smothering a yawn when with a shout of pain he jumped to his feet and hopped about frantically. Gone was his drowsiness. Every sense was awake and tingling with life. He had rocked on his toe. TRANSITION. HE town clock was tolling the hour of midnight. A youth sat on the west bank of the Marmaton and waited for the sunrise. XVill morning never come ? he groaned as he rolled his eyes up toward the starless sky. HI must ford this river in order to reach school tomorrow, but it is not safe to cross this time of night? He finally fell asleep. He awoke with a start. YVhat if he had fallen into the river? There was a faint glimmer in the east. The sun burst into a ilame of light. Just the place to crossln he cried. A crank, a whir of the engine. and he had Forded the river hed. Look for the world to end when: Frances Strong quits chewing gum. Edward Story runs out of excuses. Bertha Bachmann finishes making up her eighth periods.

Esther thewisj I Monarchs of Holland. It was in the palatial home of Napol- eon in Versailles. Napoleon was in Ger- many and Josephine, with her mother, Catherine of Austria, were entertaining the royalty of different countries in their palace. Among the guests were Queen Anne of England and her able minister, Robert XValpole. There were YVilliam of Orange and his royal con- sort, Mary, from Holland, and Claudius, Emperor of Rome. From the Holy Land came John, Esther, and Martha, and from Italy were .Iuliet and her chaperone, Myrtle, who was always at- telnpting to establish peace and i11still learning in her fair charge. Anna the Prophetess hailed from tl1e Far East. The gaiety was at its height. Myrtle and King XVilliam were tripping it on a light, fantastic toe', to the sweet l0I1t'S of the fox-trol, while his Queen Mary looked on with tears of rage and luuniliation in her eyes. Deserted by her king i11 the sight of all these people! In a shadowy corner of the spacious drawing room sat Claudius and Esther, oblivious of the rest of the world. Robert and Catherine were daneiug with a set determination to finish to the bitter end. Altho Robert had several times stepped on Catherine's feet, he had not apologized with sutticient hum- bleness to suit the haughty dame. Josephine and .lolm were dancing in perfect time with a look of utter bliss on both faces. Juliet, with a woe-begone expression, sat in the shadow of the piano, thinking of Romeo and the last time he had scal- ed the bower of roses to meet her de- spite her father's threats. Beside her sat Anne who consolingly was saying, Hllshawl my dear, don't worry about him. Doubtless at this very moment he is wasting at't'ection on a bull-dog. Men are such tickle creatures. Thru the door from the grand hall came Martha with tall tumblers of iced tea. Just as she entered the door, Anna the Prophetess stepped thru one of the long French windows. XVhen she saw the merriment of the dancers, a look of displeasure crossed her countenance and in loud tones she exclaimed, XVoc! YVoe!! NVoe!!! Such sinfulness is posi- tively shocking. Such merriment is un- seemly. Surely you will be brought to' judgment for such wickedness. XVilh one accord the faces of the women paled and a united shriek of horror rose. The men looked in be- wilderment for something with which to defend thc women, who ran screaln- ing about from place to place in search of a haven of refuge. Queen Anne jumped spryly onto the table and nerv- ously gathered her skirts about her. Claudius and Esther sat on the back of the settee, and Juliet found safety on top of the piano. The men, seeing no implements of warfare and discovering that the women no longer needed their assistance, rushed for shelter in the shrubbery. Anna alone remained composed. I knew it! she exclaimed, as she saw the tiny mouse which had caused the panic. Such wickedness is ever punished. - Dorothy and Nettie.

BROWN AND THE WIDOW. N my tirst description ot' the company in which I pass 111ost ot' my time, il may be remembered that I mentioned a great atlliction which my friend, Mr. Brown, had met with in his youth, and which was no less than a disappoint- ment in love. lt happened one evening that we were taking a walk toward Gunn Park. As soon as we caught sight of the beautiful green valley, the good old gentleman quoth, with a smile, alt is with great ditliculty that I enter this park, for I cannot see a sprig of any bough of this whole park of trees unless I aiu remind- ed of the perverse widow who so wronged me in my youth. She had the sweetest ruby lips and blue eyes ot' any woman in the world. You must know that this is the place wherein I used to muse upon herg and every time I enter this park, thoughts of her enter into my mind. I was so deeply in love with this widow that I carved her name o11 every bench in this nark. I returned from Texas, twhere an uncle of mine had reared mel in my twenty-Iirst year and settled on my father's country estate. That very even- ing I drove a team of bay horses to church. As I entered the church door, a beautiful lady dropped her prayer book. I picked it up and reached out to give it to her, but suddenly I stopped. After a pause and a deep breath, I gave her the book, and she passed on into the church. I followed and found a seat near her, where I could keep my eyes upo11 her throughout the sermon. She was the most beautiful woman I had ever laid my eyes upon, and I fell in love with her at first sight. I later learned that she was a rich widow, who had been through college. I also learned that every city Zllltl coun- try chap was in love with her. She had the most beautiful lips of any wo- man in the world. An auto was the only thing with which to win a lady at that time, for it was the newest thing out. I traded my horses for a Jewish Packard and was determined to win this beautiful widow. One of my friends was kind enough to made a date with her for meg so one evening I hopped into my car and drove out to see her. XVhen I entered the house, she came to meet me. I was rendered speechless hy a glance from her beautiful eyes. As l mentioned before, she was well 1'ead and could enter into subjects about which I knew notlling. She loved to make sport of such people when she got a chance. She saw her opportunity and began to talk on some deep thought about which I knew nothing. I began to feel nervous and wished I could sink through the ttoor. NVhen she turned to take a chair, I dashed through the door, out to my car, leaving my hat, and drovehome as fast as111y car would run. I have seen this sinful widow many times since, but li1lCNV that I could 11ever call her my wife, because her manner in treating me always made me feel be- low her. I traded my car back for my horses and have been wearing Lakin- Meliey Overalls ever since. - A-I.eland XVoodard. SIR ROGER PREOCCUPIED. SIR ROGER, though gene1'ally the brightest of men, relapsed at times into a state of preoccupation, which on occasions such as the following, termin- ated disastrously. On this particular occasion, Sir Roger had absent-mindedly wandered down one of the upper hallways to the head of the grand staircase. There he paused and gazed vacantly i11to space all un- conscious of a servant who was ap- proaching with a huge armful of linen which obstructed his view. The servant, being a rather clumsy fellow, collided squarely with Sir Roger. Sir Roger clutched the servant, the servant stumbled, and they both went rolling merrily tl0NVl1 the stairway, wrapping themselves in li11e11 as they went. I happened to be standing near and immediately rushed to my friend's assistance. His face was drawn and pale, while his eyes were closed and a little pool of blood stained the spotless linen on which his head reclined. XVhen I stooped over l1in1, however, he clasped my hand, and pressing it fervently to his lips, murmured: She had such beautiful handsf' --Gola Roberts. wif THE CRIMSON 79 JUNIOR PARTY. SPICAIQING of royal receptions! The class of ,17 certainly had one on the 11tl1 of May. From the little advertise- ments we received to the very last it was a successful carnival. After much hand shaking on the part of the reception colnmittee and our- selves, we were allowed to inspect the many-colored booths which lined the walls. First of all there was Punch a11d Judyw--a darling little booth in which really-truly puncl1 was served. Among others were a man-eating lion, a fat man and a tiny woman, our favor- ite movie star, -even a booth from Fairy-land, where we received pink car- natio11 favors. At the booths of the Junior and Senior dramatics and the gum-chewers we were allowed to see ourselves as others saw us. NVQ- had a grand march to real band music, furnished by the victrola which occupied the center of the gymnasium tloor. A Contest of Nationsi' was amusingly given i11 the form of char- ades. A light lnnnorous sketch, NA Pro- posal Under Difficulties, was put on by Helen Gauggel, Goldie Armstrong, Ralph Drake, and Roy Fonts. Then came that which is dear to the heart of every High School studentf- Heats. The usual ice cream, cake, and salted nuts were served in a pleasing manner by the Junior girls. THE MAY FESTIVAL. HIC May Festival, held at Convention Hall, May 18th, took the form of a Contest of Nations. The pupils of all the schools of the city took part. They formed into groups representing var- ious nationalitiesg each nation present- ed a song or folk dance, peculiar to it- self, for the approval of the May Queen and her court. Hazel Gordon made a charming May Queen and represented the Spirit of Fair Play. The nations contesting entered in the following or- der: Scotland. . . .......
