A., 1 Home Economics, 3 Normal Training, 3 3 i Once in the lightning rapid passing of an eon there descends into the midst of the race a most estimable, supernormal creation, which, in 'whatever form it appears, whether mechanical or human, individual or collective, is predestined to be a firecracker to the hemisphere. Its deeds are preintended to shine as the lone bright star in the heavens. Twelve years back in the dim, dark past there entered into the life of scholarly labors a group of inspired urchins, scattered abroad over a great breadth of territory. Nine years passed and from their scattered quarters the members of a. class emerged and combined, as they say in Chemistry, with explosive violence, into the peppiest Sopho- more Class ever sheltered by the roof of F. S. H. S. VVhile the remainder of the school looked on in amazement, the Sophs monopolized the feature positions of the orchestra, furnished a round total of members to the debating societies, placed men on the athletic squads and offered one of its members, Mary Louise YValls, as the school's representative in the district declamation contest, which she won a la morale, but the excessive length of her number took away the actual victory. Incidentally, these despised lower classmeu drubbed the Juniors roundly in the King and Queen contest. Then came the Junior year to continue the rampant campaign of accomplishments. Three men became regulars on the football team, two on the basketball team, and the remaining squad positions were largely filled by Juniors. Three members of the first debate team came from this body, as did four of the second team members. The high light of the year-the crowning glory-was the presentation of the class play, Daddy Long Legs, by Jean Webster, with Leta Faye Smith and Donald Pinkston playing the leads-and Broadway was put to shame. As a reward for merit and earnest labors, six members were elected to the National Honor Society. In the big Crimson campaign the Seniors barely managed to defeat them, emerging as victors by the margin of only a few sales. Then the Senior year, with trailing clouds. Practically the entire football team was Senior. Two basketball regulars were of the class. The entire debate team, which barely missed a district championship, was Senior, with one exception. The class play, Mrs. Partridge Presents, was enacted most masterfully in that same super-superlative style. Then, to break the chain of custom, the class dedicated its memorial with much ceremony before the closing of the term. You may see it now--that beautifully-set flag- pole at the northwest corner of the building-to remind its succssors of its deeds. l The last work of that class you have in your hands, gentle reader,-this annual, with its progressive features and additional worth. By its 111erit judge the Class of '27. Was it not truly a class of giants? 5T W e? Q ,W l , gil.,- Jmf W g? .er- W x 2 Wm : is a k K 7 'VZ Y, v' Q , H?

You will soon see why. It began 'way, 'way back in 1923 tnearly four years agoj, as a very obscure and un- formed mass of people. This obscure and unobtrusive mass, however, was not satisfied io remain in modest seclusion all its life, so, when Junior High School's annual Queen of the Carnival contest was in progress, it shocked the world by announcing the fact that it intended not only to put its choicest bit of femininity for queen of the school, but that this choicest bit was going to be queen of the school. And she was. That was the first step up the ladder of ambition: they were graduated from a Mass to a Class. At about this same time, another class was beginning its formation in virtually the same manner. They were just little Freshmen, they said sagely among themselves- hut wait and see. Just wait and see? The next year was a busy one for the Sophomores. However, no outward disturb- ances betrayed the seething emotions that were preparing the Sophs for the coming year that was going to be, as they very well knew, an important one. And so it was. First, there was the football season. Three of Fort Scott's remarkable heroes were from the Class of '28, In basketball the Juniors had three good reasons for feeling proud ot' the school's achievements, namely, because Chet Edmundson was on the team, be- cause Eugene Jackson was on it, and because Blonn Miller was too. About this time came the debate season. Dozens of Juniors tried out. However, these dozens were eliminated, one by one, until Harold Little was the only one left to Parry on the class honors. A rather unusual happening occurred just then. Another play, Adam and Eva. Nothing so unusual in the fact that it was a play, of course, it was that these enterprising .luniors were so active and interested in experiments that they cleverly dramatized an age-old story in a new and original manner. It was a truly exceptional play in that it was remarkably well done. Kenneth Schwartz pushed his romantic nature up in front, and was called the hero, while Harold Little and Francis Gift kept theirs in the back- ground and were known as sort of semi-villains, the father and uncle of an adorably wealthy girl, Marjorie Carson. Events, that always in one way or another affected the destiny of the Junior class, fnllowed thick and fast from then on. Declamation, oration, track, the Senior play, the Pittsburg music contest, and, lastly, and most important of all, the High School's annual solemn and pretentious affair, the Junior-Senior reception. This was the last step by the Junior class up the ladder of ambition. No longer were they known as a class to the members of the High School, but as Class A-the Perfect Junior Class-of the Fort Scott Senior High School. iff q-he CRIMSON Oh, see in the breeze proudly waving Onr flag in its crimson folds, Fort Scott! comes the cry from every heart Loyal hearts that it ever ho lds.

Among the greenest of earthen things, and imbued with the highest ot hopes, they came. At the same time in junior High there existed a group of very young students who had not yet learned how much they did not know, and who therefore were busily engaged in telling the world at large that it, and it alone, was their huckleberry. One proof of prowess of this class was the production of that more or less immortal drama of Booth Tarkington's, 'iPenrod and Sam. Of course it was a howling success, as was the Freshman-Junior High reception which followed it. That reception marked the beginning, the awakening of that egotistical personality known as the class of '29, There were tall lanky boys, small pudgy girls, robust youths, frolicking maidens, gay young friskcrs, serious-minded scholars, homely, handsome young men, and homely, dainty little ladies fapologies to the Pied Piper of Hamlin and his collection of ratsj. Taking it all in all, such a heterogeneous mass of humanity as never assembles except in Sophomore classes. But the distinguishing feature of this class was its spirit. On the first day it demonstrated that its lung power was in excellent condition, and on the next, that it had an afhnity for the soaring pigskin. Outside of the lusty shrieks with which it rent the air at every football game, it lent several of its members to the building of a football machine. Two of these came out of the season with letters, and several more gave promise of future eminence. These Sophomores gave their talents to the school orchestra, to the glee clubs, to the art department, and to various other activities. Later in the year two of their members made up the comedy section of the basket ball team-a sort of Mutt and jeff attraction fBethel and Straderj. To speak of the debaters-some thirty of them-the declaimers and the orators from this class is unnecessary, since they formed the majority of all the contestants for the places in various forensics. Beulah Bollinger, a Sophomore, was chosen as school orator and made a very credible showing in the inter-school contests. One could go on at some length-the Sophomores do !-but the two years which remain to them will doubtless fill too many pages as it is. MA X b EVM UQ..- TK Agia if LBA: mul If: I 'I UCL-F N , 'HWS 'QQ V -R mb Pres hmen f . 4, 5: On the morning of September 6th, there were many new faces among the crowd that awaited to begin the school term of 1926-1927. Among those faces were many be- longing to people who were only beginning their high school career. The upper class- nien, remembring the days when they likewise were Freshmen, were considerate of this group of students and it was not long before they were as much at home at F. S. H. S. as anyone. The Freshmen, realizing that they must live up to the standards set by other classes, soon became organized and grew into one of the peppiest Freshman classes that F. S. H. S. has ever known. A number of social affairs were staged during the year. An enjoyable party was given in the gymnasium at Thanksgiving time. A Valentine box and playlet were given at one of the class meetings. On April lst, the Freshmen es- tablished a precedent by giving a three-act play in assembly. All these things were a success, due to the hard work and co-operation of every member of the class. Indi- vidual members of the class also bought much credit by going out for debate and by showing interest in all school activities. The Freshmen were all behind the school in every endeavor and by their spirit showed that they will grow into the very best sort of students. Much commendation is due the sponsor of the Freshman class, Miss Irene Ireson, who, too, came to the school as a stranger in the fall but who soon found many friends through her good work and goodly spirit. As the school term ends, another group of Freshmen pass on, nearing their goal as Seniors and the school certainly has been proud of them. As they near the goal and become upper classmen, we only hope that they will not forget the days when they, too, were Freshies . The unset cwmaton O HfCll'llIflf0Il.' O i1TtIl'711tIf07l!

L.eW...n Whirlpools rilllil QA V R , hw Publicat HE CBAIMSU The strongest evidence that can be given of the work that the Crimson staff of 1927 has done is, of course, between the covers of this bookg and that evidence the staff submits without apology. As to the method of doing that work, how- ever, some explanation might be necessary or at least advisable. The staff consisted of some twenty-odd Seniors, chosen for their ability in the specialized work necessary, and two sponsors, art and general. These members were chosen early in the fall session of school and worked from that time until publication. The first se- mester all work was done in outside hours, and in the second semester the second period was set aside for that work. While the evidence of the amount of work done is within this book, it is quite probable that not a tenth of the readers realize how much work is actually represented, The laborious planning of every page, the long-continued advertising campaign, the grueling canvas for subscriptions, the slow art work on sectional pages and snapshot pages, the unpleasant task of making collections, the still more unpleasant job of run- ning countless errands, the telephoning, the letter-writing-none of this is evident, but it was all done. So much for the troubles of the staff. There are undoubtedly errors in this issue of the Crimsong there are prob- Wm. L. VVorden, Editor ably some ghastly mistakes. These the staff hold to be unavoidable, and for these the members ask your forgiveness. The one request that this Crimson stff-in common with all the Crimson staffs that have gone before-would make of its sub- scribers is this: lf you are disappointed in the annual, if you are hurt and consider yourself wronged, if this annual doesnit conform to your ideas of what an annual should he, if you find misspelled names, or overturned letters or poor pictures, or any of the other one thousand and one things that may be wrong, in short if you think the annual tis a failure and the staH not fit to edit it-if any of these things be true, pray say no more of it. The staff is sorry and would have prevented your disappointment if it could haveg but now the annual is beyond repair and complaining can have no possible effect save to add the final straw to tempers fore-shortened by seven months of trying to make things as things ought to bc.

The Seribbler is devoted to the interests of the High School and Junior Coi- lege and faculty and is dedicated to the interests and the advancements of the school organizations. It is the students' newspaper and is published each Thursday during the term. This year the journalism class boasts of having secured the largest number of subscriptions ever received in the Fort Scott High School. According to Miss Virgil Cordon, the highest mnnber of subscriptions ever received be fore was two hundred and eighty-one, in 1903, while this year the subscriptions numbered very close to five hundred. This year the Scribbler subscription drive was carried on in a different manner than it has been in former yearsg the object of the campaign being for each 'fournalism student to work for the highest number of subscriptions and the highest number inches of advertising, each subscription or advertisement giving the student a certain number of points. The campaign was opened by the Journalism class, giving a program in assembly with members of the class representing the department of which they were members and boosting the superior qualities of the paper and urging the audience to buy a Scribbler. A house to house canvass was also made by the students in the journalism class, each student securing subscriptions and advertisements in his assigned portion of the city. The advertising campaign was carried on at the same time as the subscription campaign and a liberal amount of advertisements, eight hun- dred inches, was secured from the Fort Scott merchants in the first drive, thus assur- ing the financial success of the paper. At the close of the campaign it was discov- ered that instead of two members having the largest number of points there were sev- eral who had very nearly the same. For this reason the four highest went to Law- rence to attend the Journalism convention, conducted by the Journalism class of the University of Kansas. These four were: Donald Pinkston, William Wordeii, Leona Hickman and Stella Van Matre. The Journalism class was larger this year than it has ever been prior to this time. lt was composed of twenty-four members of which only nine were Seniors. This was the first year that Juniors had been permitted to enroll in Journalism but since the mnnher of Seniors enrolled in this subject was so small, Mr. C. M. Lockman and members of the faculty selected a group of hluniors whom they thought would make a successful year of journalism. The Scribbler. by its high standards in contents and appearance, has in past years won high places in several of the state and national newspaper contests and this year it is entered in the State Newspaper Contest at Kansas State Agricultural College, Manhattan University of Kansas, and the National Contest. The National Contest was formerly sponsored by the University of VVisconsin, but this year is sponsored by the University of Minnesota. The staff hopes for a high rating in all of these con- tests this year. -ww1, wM , K ,af ...vu- In the mad search for suitable features, the Crimson Staff found these poems which seemed to them to be particularly fitting for certain members of the student body.

Miss Jizssns SI-IILLINGTON Coach of Debate Last year Miss Shillington came to Fort Scott. Although she is in reality a Junior College teacher, she takes a great interest in debate, and she has given her services in helping coach the debate teams. Miss INA SEAGRAVES Coach of Declamation For a. number of years Miss Sea- graves has been an active promoter of high school dramatics and forensic ac- tivities. This year, through her coach- ing, she greatly improved the style of delivery of the de laimer, Russell Carney, 8 FCRQSICS When the judges returned a two to nothing victory for Chanute on that memori- able evening of February 15, and the debate fans of this city realized that Fort Scott was eliminated, it was with a real feeling of regret that such a wonderful team must end its activity. For Fort Scott did have a wonderful team this year, even if she was eliminated, and incidentally, the team that beat us, Chanute, won the state championship. From about sixty students who entered the preliminary contests, eight debaters were chosen, six for the team proper and two alternates. With only about a week in which to prepare speeches, Fort Scott entered a debate tournament at Frontenac, December 10 and 11. With Harold Little, Donald Pinkston, Gladys Mason and Louise Burton upholding the affirmative of the question: Resolved: That a department of education be established with a secretary in the president's cabinet: and with William Worden, Mary Louise Walls, William Calhoun and Clifton Otto maintaining the nega- tive, the team won six debates out of a total of eight. They were beaten only by Cha- nute and Paola, and as a whole met every team entered in the tourney. The Southeast Kansas League debates opened January 25, with the negative de- feating their old rivals, Chanute, at home, by a count of 3 to 0. The affirmative traveled to Iola, where they met and defeated the Iola negative, 2 to 1. It was a glorious start. This decision gave Fort Scott a total of 7 points, and needing only 3 points to en- title them to enter the third round, the Crimson teams took both their second round debates, both teams winning 3 to 0 from Pittsburg and Cherokee. In the third round they were less fortunate, as the negative lost to Girard, 1 to 23- however, the affirmative beat the negative Girard team, 3 to 0: and the ship sailed majestically on. But there was still the terrible tempest presented by Chanute to sail through, and the result of those debates is at the head of this article. The scores were: Negative 0-3: affirmative 1-2. Altogether, the Fort Scott teams won eleven out of sixteen contests, and this year will be remembered for many years by those who chanced to have any connection with debate. 'The Declaimer Declaims We have a little declaimer, He went out to declaimp He had a little hard luck, But him we do not blame. All of which is miserable poetry-it should not ever be distinguished by the title of poetry-but it fits the need nicely. However, one should not get the idea that just be- cause lt is rotten poetry, that the declaimer was rotten: for if anything was ever untrue, that would be. No, far from it. Russell Carney, a Senior, was the boy who filled the declaiming shoes this year, and he certainly fitted them nicely. And the funny part about it is that if Russell had died off, or something of that nature, we would still have plenty of other excellent declaimers. For if ever a school was blest with good declaimers, it is Fort Scott-even if we do say so ourselves. But Russell was the best of all, and so the standings in the final contest read as follows: First, Russell Carney, second, Louise Burton: third, Floyd Williams. In the Southeast Kansas League contest at Cherokee, Russell wasn't so lucky, but the High School won't hold that against the poor boy. We all get beaten sometime. The debaters lost, the basket ball team lost-why, even the class fight lost out. 'I I e Orater Ofates Beulah-doesn't that name sound like orations?-Bollinger was, and is, her name, and Beulah expounded for ten minutes down at Parsons the Meaning of the Constitu- tion, as Fort Scott's representative in the Southeast Kansas League. But for some unac- countable reason-don't ask a poor staff reporter to tell why!-the judges didn't place her first. In the final preliminary contest the ranking was: First, Beulah: second, Emmett Crabtree: and third, Alice Seeyle. In passing, we might add that Emmett was a Junior. Forensics, as a whole, suffered rather badly in Fort Scott this year, so Beulah need not feel so bad. Better orators than she have lost out-but it would be difficult to find a much better one. At any rate, Beulah has two years before her of oration, declamation and debate. Every year throughout the country, a nation-wide Constitutional oration contest is held. The final winners give their orations in Washington, and get a trip to Europe in the bargain. Mr. Emmett Crabtree, class of '28, gained the honor of representing his school this year. He was prevented from competing in the district contest by a flood. I , 1 ' X 0 Uffj fi ff, f 'i Q .49 QI V 'll 9 QM 5' Fine Arts QRCHESTRA Last year through the untiring efforts of Prof. Earl McCray, the Fort Scott High School began to take an added interest in orchestra music. For the first time Fort Scott sent an orchestra to Pittsburg, which was entered in Class A in the Music Fes- tival. This orchestra made a good showing for the first year--tying for third place. At the beginning of the present school year the slogan was Let's have a bigger and better orchestra . The result was that an orchestra of one hundred pieces was organ- ized and began to hold rehearsals every Wednesday evening in the library. Is not such an orchestra to be looked on with pride? To think that the year before last an orchestra of only thirty pieces was taken to the contest, While this year an orchestra of a. hundred pieces, composed of both Junior High and Senior High students, was taken. The aim of the orchestra department is not only to develop a Century orchestra to take to the music contest, but, also, to serve the community. Throughout the entire year small orchestras were picked to play for various entertainments, banquets and meetings, among them being: The Older Boys' Conference and the Masonic Reunion. ln the words of the orchestra director, The purpose of the orchestra is to serve the community . The large orchestra gave two concerts this year at Memorial Hall, which were en- joyed by large crowds. Then on March 24, 1927, the Preliminary Music Contest was held at Memorial Hall with Prof. Uhe from Bethany College and Prof. Walter McCray from Pittsburg Normals as the judges. Here, solos were rendered by members of the orchestra, and the contestants to represent Fort Scott in the various solos were selected. The big orchestra played Oberon Overture, their contest piece. In the Musical Festival' held at the Pittsburg Normal on April 29, 1927, the large orchestra made a splendid showing in the way they played Oberon Overture and re- ceived commendation from everyone.

This is due, true enough, to the fact that the prog- ress of this department and the individuals within it is almost without parallel in the school systems of Kansas, and certainly without its equal in the history of this school. The condition of the Music Department at the beginning of the fall term of 1925 was, to say the least, terrible. And now-one runs again to the shelter of the inevitable superlative. The vocal section of the department is under the direction of Mr. David Law- son, who has built within the space of a year-from the mere skeleton of an organiza- tion-a musical machine that is on a par with the best high school musical organiza- tions in the country. There are three main divisions to this department, the boys' glee club, the girls' glee club and the mixed chorus, besides innumerable quartettes, double quartettes, soloists and trios, all of which are very active, and most of which are efficient. The chief purpose of the intensive organization of these groups was com- petition in the Interstate Music Contest at K. S. T. C., Pittsburg, Kansas, in April of this year, and in preparation for that event a preliminary contest was held in which every student in the school was eligible to compete. To give some faint idea of the size of this affair, there were twelve contestants in soprano solo, five in baritone, four in tenor, three glee clubs, fourteen quartettes, and two choruses, to say nothing of the instrumental contests. 01.Ti.. The results of the music contest mentioned above are of sufficient importance to bear mentioning, in both instrumental and vocal sections. The competition in many of these groups was quite as exacting as that in the Pittsburg contest in which the winners competed. The winners of the solo contests are as follows: Violin ........,.

This organization has three years standing i11 the Fort Scott High School, and is one of the three active chapters in Southeast Kansas. That its membership is representative of the most outstanding leaders of the student body is self-evident, since the requirements for that membership include what are commonly supposed to be the cardinal virtues of high school students-character, service, scholarship and leader- ship. And upon the basis of these qualities as evidenced in the four years of high school work has been built a powerful organization, of course more or less inactive, but nevertheless exerting an influence over the school that does not have its peer among the activities of that school. The inactivity of the National Honor Society is not necessary by charter, but since the members of the organization obtained their places for the most part by service in other school organizations, the Honor Society refrains from competition with those groups. The Fort Scott chapter of the N. H. S. has been, since its charter, distinguished for its exceptional fairness of election and absolute democracy of government. In such a group, where jealousy and envy can so easily spring up, a record of democracy is of major importance, and that record Fort Scott holds with pride. The membership is limited by the national regulations to fifteen per cent of the Senior class, five per cent of whom may be chosen at the close of the second semester of the Junior year. In accordance with this ruling, on May 5, 1926, six people from the class of 1927, Frances Varvel, Mary Louise Walls, Clifton Otto, Rus- sell Carney, Lee Burge and William Worden, were initiated to membership. Decem- ber 5, 1926, a group of Seniors of the class of l927, Alta Cowen, Opal Dennison, Lillian Hurst, Wanda Linville, Gladys Mason, Rosemond Payton, William Calhoun, William Gench, Floyd Williams, and june Humes, were added to the membership, and on May 5, two more, Marguerite Jones and Ralph Gift. The members of the Class of 1928, elected and initiated May 5, 1927, were Loma Clary and Leona Hickman. The officers for the year were: The faculty council is as follows: Mlss Miss Miss Miss ...li ' .Li i- A ,ggi , Y-f-' . . . A WILLIAM GENCH, President. ALTA COWEN, Vice President.

The member- ship of this club was limited to girls enrolled in either sewing or cooking and its object was to create interest in Home Economics work among the girls, so that they might be good housekeepers. The motto adopted by the club was A Friend in Need , and they tried to prove their loyalty to it in every way possible. ln October of this year the Home Economics Club, sponsored by Miss VVilson and Miss Fowler, was reorganized and began another successful year. The meetings this year were very interesting and helpful. At one of the first meetings an entertaining Hallow'een program was given. Then at Christmas time a party was enjoyed at the regular meeting. The club also earned money by selling candy and sent Christmas baskets to several poor families. One meeting was given over to a health program which proved to be very interesting and worth while. An etiquette program which consisted of a clever etiquette play and talks on courtesy, was another one of the out- standing programs of the year. On St. Patrick's day the girls of the club entertained their mothers with a dainty tea which was enjoyed by all and proved, without doubt, that the girls had learned the secrets of attractive homemaking. The social event of the year was the annual banquet to the Senior girls, held in the spring. The banquet this year was as attractive as only Home Economics banquets can be, and o11ly one who has been a member and enjoyed the splendid friendship of such a group of the girls can appreciate the real significance of the banquet. Toasts were given to the Senior and Junior girls, to the schools, to the mothers, and to Home Economics in general, and so the year's work of the 1927 Home Economics was brought to a successful end. THE ART CLUB VVhen the halls blossom out with gay posters, perhaps for the plays, So This Is London , Adam and Eva and t'Mrs. Partridge Presents , or the Mexican operetta, Pepita , the artists make their appearance in public. The F. S. H. S. artists are organized into a club, the history of which goes back to 1916, when the art classes under the leadership of Miss Anna Brown, formed into a club, The purpose of this club was to further the study of art and its application in the home, school and city. This year the programs and activities of the Art Club have been especially inter- esting. Several well known speakers appeared on the programs at different times. Mrs. Snyder Soper, a missionary in South America, spoke to the club about South American art.. A talk on the art of the Indians as found on the Santa Fe and old National trails and on the types of Japanese art was given by Mr. Reeve Hewitt. Mrs. Weeks spoke on landscape gardening. Mr. Lockman also discussed means of beautify- ing the school and home. The rest of the programs were given by the pupils on vari- ous phases of art, both modern and ancient. On March 17th, a St. Patrick's day luncheon was given with Mrs, Liston as the guest of honor, who then told of the art exhibit at Dallas, Texas. The Art Club has also helped with other luncheons and banquetsg for its members made clever place cards for the banquet to the K. U. Girls' Glee Club, and nut cups for the teachers' Christ- mas party and the football banquet. When health week was observed they made artistic posters which helped towards making that week a success. In addition to this special work, each member has made an art collection and some of these are very inierestaing, In their regular class work, the students show un- usual talent which is seen in their art exhibits displayed in the halls. Sometimes it is a landscape painting that attracts the attention of everyone, at other times it is a clever drawing that is in the limelight. But whatever it may be, an art display is always sure to be the center of attraction. So in every school activity, either in a business or an artistic way, the Art Club plays an indispensable part, THE PEP CLUB The Pep Club, The Life of the schoollt' Any school is incomplete without one. its aim is to sponsor and encourage good fellowship, sportsmanship, and to keep the student body happy by Pepping them up during the dull moments. The one object in view is to teach all students to love F. S. H. S. and to forward friendly rivalry and com- petition with other schools. The Club of '26 and '27, sponsored by J. W. Christian, was led to success by his ex- cellent ability as a sponsor, and is a good example of what a Pep Club should be. Due to his untiring efforts, every project that was undertaken this year was put over the top. The outstanding accomplishment of the club this year was the purchasing of Warm- Up Suits for both High School and Junior College basketball squads. When the Fort Scott teams played for the first time on the new Memorial Hall court, on the night of January 7, 1927, they appeared in striking contrast to their opponents. The spec- tators looked aghast, while the opponents were so astounded by the striking appear- ance of the teams that both visiting teams lost to Fort Scott. This was indeed a project of which the Pep Club could well feel proud. Following the football season of '26, the club entertained both teams with a banquet in the parish house of the Episcopal church, which proved to be one of the outstanding events of the first semester. The club members worked hard at every football and every basketball game staged this year to raise money with which to carry on their loyal work for the school. Ap- proximately S200.00 was raised in this manner, going naturally for the Warm-Up Suits. As the year drew to a close, new members, to be the F. S. H. S. future Pep Club, were elected and duly initiated. All but five members of the limited fifty, of tl1e Club of '26 and '27, were Seniors, consequently there remained only a valued few to re-organize and carry on the work in the coming year as it has been carried on in the year just closed. It is up to the oncoming members to maintain the high standards and morale heretofore set for them. Thus passes into the annals of history one of the most successful Pep clubs that the F. S. H. S. has ever known. PRO AND CON Among the galaxy of those organizations which have been of exceptional merit or unusual service in the Fort Scott High School is one which is unique of its kind. That is Pro and Con. The oldest organization in the school, it occupies a place of almost unprecedented importance in the affairs of that school today. The original purpose of the society was to promote the Forensics of the school, this accounts for its slightly misleading name. In time, however, Pro and Con entered a broader field of activity, and instead of promoting forensics alone, centered its energies upon the development of student leadership. And in this capacity it has come to hold the most significant po- sition of any organization in the history of the institution. Pro and Con stands for service, primarily and entirely. It's motto is Depend- ability , and it's leadership has made that motto far more than a Word. The record of the past year's activities finds Pro and Con supporting every one, Pro and Con mem- bers in the leading roles, and Pro and Con ideals as the initiatives. The stage is, of course, the chief responsibility of the organizationg but its influence is felt from laboratory to gymnasium. It is rather pointless to mention the particular activities of Pro and Con this year, because those activities are treated at length in other places, and they speak for them- selves. Suffice it then that Pro and Con is the symbol of constancy, of devotion to school, and of sincere, unselfish service. The reverence in which its ideals are held, and the respect which is accorded its decisions are only partial indicators of its import- ance. Its standards are reflected in its membership, and its aims in its work. Pro and Con is the outstanding society, the one sacred organization, long since past testing and trial, long since established in permanency, which had its beginning here, will have its ending here, and which most truly represents the spirit of Fort Scott High School. HI-Y CLUB Of the eight clubs in the Senior High School, we find prominent among them the leaders, Pro and Con, Debate, Boys' and Girls' Clubs. But how many students in the high school stop to think of another club, except in half-amused derision, the other club being the Hi-Y. The Hi-Y Club, which is the Y, M. C. A. among the High School stu- dents, has a high purpose. The accomplishment of that purpose- To create, main- tain and extend throughout the school and community, high standards of Christian character -is generally conceded. Who will affirm that the Christmas basket for the poor was a failure, or that the Father and Son observance week was a foible? Who can say that the Anti-tobacco campaign has not brought forward statistics that are surprising to anyone who is inter- ested? It has shown that the students of Fort Scott High School have, in proportion, fewer smokers among them than any other high school in the state. The concensus of opinion is that the Sunday school attendance contest has been a help, Let us again c'6nsider the purpose, has it not been fulfilled? No one among the mildly scornful will even so much as imply that the district Hi-Y conference that was held in Fort Scott was a total or part failure. The local Hi-Y Club wastheh t f f- - - '- ' ' ' -- ' os o osei thiee hundred boys, who came fiom a iadius of a hundred miles to help make this conference a success, and to help extend throughout the school and community, high standards of Christian characteru. Mr. James Chase, with assistance of the Y. M. C. A. and the local clubs, was in charge, and Fort Scott, as in the past, upheld its reputation for sincere hospitality and courteous entertainment. The meetings were held in the Presbyterian church and were Well attended. All of the officers and committeemen worked hard for the success of the conference and accomplished their end. The organization of the Hi-Y is under the sponsorship of Mr. Paul Twining, former- ly of Ottawo University. Mr. Twining deserves commendation for his unfailing inter- est in the Hi-Y and his efforts for its betterment. BUYS' CLUB The flag ship of the entire fleet of clubs, the Boys' Club, started this year under only half sail and thus was a bit slow in the beginning of the cruise. Due to a conflict in honor points, the captain, Donald Pinkston, was forced to resign his come mand and the helm passed into the hands of Russell Carney. The new administration floundered through a bit of rough weather and then after passing a few sand bars and dodging a few program breakers , straightened its course and had smooth sailing for the rest of the voyage. Of course, it is understood that this flag ship is a flag ship mainly for the reason that it represents the entire male population of the school and because it has the broadest purpose of all the school organizations with the exception of its sister ship, the Girls' Club. In a school in which there is no particular fellowship group for every boy, some such club is absolutely necessary, and this purpose the Boys' club fills. The programs du1'ing the voyage were varied and included everything from at- tempts to tame a few of the savage Sophomores and civilize them to the extent of fore- going the use of the knife as a weapon for carrying the food to the jawseeverything from that to heavy tragedy as interpreted by Freshmen, and music furnished by one or more of the ship's orchestras-all playing at once or separately. One of the new fea- tures this year was a program given by the crew of the Girls' Club scow for the crew of the Boys' Club ship, and vice versa, Both programs consisted of rapid-fire comedy, but the battle was short and there were no casualties. Seriously, however, the Boys' Club does accomplish a real purpose in the life of the school and takes its place as one of the outstanding factors in molding that life. The very fact that it is the one organization which includes EVERY boy insures its permanent value. The versatility of its programs serves to maintain interest, and those which have no particular value are more than balanced by those which carry mes- sages that are never forgotten-especially since they come from other boys and from recognized leaders who never preach, and who live what they say. Thus, the flag ship leads the fleet, certainly one of the two largest vessels, perhaps the bestg certainly the most care free, perhaps the most valuable, without doubt permanent, perhaps more or less an intrinsic necessity to the maintainence of the school. GIRIJS CLUB The Good Ship Girls' Club sailed out of F. S. H. S. Harbor, Wednesday morning at 10'20-1926. Manned by the captain, Devore Watt, and first mate, Mary Louise Walls, this ship left for a year's cruise. Like all other ships, she accommodated four classes of passengers- lst Class-Seniors. 2nd Class-Juniors. 3rd Class-Sophomores. 4th Class-Freshmen. The first event on board ship was a tea. The lst Class passengers seeing the sorry state of confusion among the 4th Class-this being their first trip--threw a real party on the lower deck. It was decided that such congenial travelers should have some purpose to accomplish while cruising. It was learned by one of the girls that a Grade School Ship had left Fort Scott Harbor with one hundred children, less for- tunate than those on board. Incidentally it was decided that since' Santa Clause was coming in about three weeks those little folks should have a real Christmas. The Grade School Ship could anchor in mid-ocean and all the little folks would come for a big time on Ye Old Girls' Club. Finances being low, tears prevailed for the next two days. Bright and early one Wednesday morning the passengers met on the upper deck and lo-there was stacked around the railing 1,200 Christmas candles. The next three weeks that pile of candles grew smaller and smaller. Some were sent home. Most of them were sold at the various harbors and stopping places and the week before Christmas the passengers emerged from their sale with almost 300 dollars. Money changed hands quietly the next week, and December 21, the Grade School anchored and went aboard the Good Ship Girls' Club. When that evening they again returned to their own ship, each little passenger was loaded with gifts. The entertainers had accomplished their purpose. On returning home they had various entertainment on board ship, musical numbers, talks by some of the deans of Kansas colleges, etc. A big Mothers' and Daughters' Banquet ended the course of the cruise, while the Senior Farewell caused much salt water to flow. Alas-it was over-perhaps another trip could be planned next year-but that same group could never meet again as girls for a good time. PRELIMINARY DEBATE CONTESTS lt is usually conceded that football and the other :sports claim the H1'2'l,h-1'311 and enthusiasm of the student body and that the forensic activities, being of a dry and forbidding nature, are justly avoidedg but such was not the indication at the outset of the debate season last October when fifty-eight students, a number practically twice as great as that reporting for football, were lured by the possibilities of debate-the struggle of the tongue seemed more profitable than the contest of brawn. Fifty-eight ---a most remarkable number, the greatest in the entire history of the school-eentered upon the first round of preliminary debates from which only eight were to be chosen to speak for the Crimson. The beginning of the second round found thirty of these, endowed with that confidence which comes with victory. still striving for a place, but sixteen hearts were destined to be broken when all but fourteen were eliminated from the contests. The competition was sharpened by the elimination and the victors pored over all available information in earnest preparation for the final entanglement. Then on November 29 and 30, these fourteen individuals fought it out for the honor of repre- senting the school in Southeast Kansas League contests and in whatever other en- counters the coaches wished to enter. By the earnest study necessary in these eliminations the selected team came to know the real depth of the question, and the competition met in three debates-the number wl1icl1 every team member must have passed through-injected i11to the team the fighting spirit of the Tiger, which statement the season's 1'ecord proves. The preliminaries were most gratifying to the coaches, for 45 lower classmen, 155 oi' them Sophomores, were among the ranks of the entrants. Although none of these were chosen for the school teamfin fact. the team with one exception, that a Junior, was entirely Seniorfffourteen entered the second round and several were ljnalists. The enthusiasm of these lower classmen marks debate as a living, growing thing and gives the coaches reason to be optimistic over future debate teams which, it is obvious, will be composed of well trained debaters. AD SUMMA In the interest of Music and Literature, the colored students are organized in the Ad Summa Club. The name in itself means Toward the highest, and thus in it is incorporated the purpose of the club. For its slogan the society has adopted the acrostic: P.-Promptness. E.--Energy. P.-Perseverance, In attaining knowledge of literature and music, the club is quite fortunate to have as its sponsor Miss Seagraves, who is an enthusiast in this feature. It is a cus- tomary practice to answer roll call with wise sayings and reports in current situations and to promote programs of cultural value. The colored boys' basketball team, organized from the membership of the club, was a noteworthy feature of the school. These boys played a brand of ball that was almost unbeatable, in fact, during the last four years, playing over fifty games, they have lost but three. This season they won the championship of Southeastern Kansas and were invited to play a feature game in Convention Hall at Kansas City. As a climax to the year's activities, the club gave a banquet March 3, in the honor of the High School faculty and the members of the school board. The reception and entertainment were most enjoyable, every effort being made for the pleasure of the guests. The club deserves much commendation for its endeavors and for its co- operation With the school work. Another feature most notable, Whose parallel is yet to be found, is the selection of one of the club's members, Miss June Humes, to the National Honor Society. She has been an outstanding student and has partaken much in school activities. The officers of the club are: President, Harrison Caldwell. Secretary and Treasurer, Leota Owens. Sponsor, Miss Seagraves. Program Committee-June Humes, Lillian Parks, John Whitener. The student body likes to see its colored members active and through their co-operation and endeavors they have won the high esteem of the school.

They lost-by the rank- est of flukes, after they had been time and time again Within an ace of scoring themselves. The score was 3-0, made so by a lucky drop kick. The second game was the same story told in more convincing num- bers. This time the Joplin aggre- gation, featuring an Indian veteran, ran up a 13-0 score on the Joplin field. Excuses would be superflu- ousg the Joplin team was simply superior. The third game was the cause- the chief cause--of the references to overwhelming scores and hope- less playing. The murder was done by Coffeyville, and the score was 34-0. It was more like a race than a football game, but as has been said- before, Fort Scott never stop- ped fighting, though most of it was done when the majority of the team was lying flat on its back with its feet clawing empty air. Thus the first game and the sec- ond served as disheartening forces, taking away the initial enthusiasm and destroying the rosy dreams of this rather novice-like football ma- chineg but this third game, this defeat of defeats, which might have had the effect of leaving a team spineless and despondent, instead worked on the contrary natures of the eleven-in-leather-helmets and instilled in them a desire to show that they could play football in spite of the combined evidence of three games to the contrary. There may have been a few an- ticipatory snickers behind the dis- creet hands of those who knew be- fore the Nevada game, but if so they were well hidden. The only vestige of a smile that one of the uninitiated could find in all the Tiger camp that week had a pecu- liarly feline, a lip-curled, venomous appearance that 'presaged unpleas- ant things to come. Nevada got in the way of those same unpleasant smiles, and the score was 25-0 IN FAVOR OF FORT SCOTT. Some- body made the first Fort Scott score of the season, and the rest of the team got the habit, while Nevada stood by and watched the tragedy happen. If one of the uninitiated had wan- dered into the camp of the Tiger again the following week, he would have noticed that the character of the before-mentioned smile had changed. It had become the grin of a well-fed Cheshire cat. That grin lasted just one week, and then Iola wiped it off with a. lucky break to win, 6-0, on a. field that was marked-so the story goes -by someone who had an acute case of crossed eyes. But that did not change the score. Pleasanton followed and earned herself a place in the sun by, for once, defeating a Fort Scott team. It was worth the loss to see the con- tented look on their faces. The Pleasanton affray was only an indication of the one that was to follow, the annual Pittsburg game. Little was expected of Fort Scott, and the expectations were fulfilled. Once again there were no excuses. Pittsburg had a better team. The score was a repetition of the Coffey- ville game with a few extra points thrown in. Another in the series of losses was chalked up by Kansas City, Kansas, with a two-touchdown score, and the last game followed the examples of the others. Parsons outplayed Fort Scott in the regular Thanksgiving Day game to the tune of three touchdowns, made be- fore a record crowd that several times was forced to shelter by flur- ries of rain. And thus closed a losing season. They won only one game: they lost eight. They made twenty-five points to their opponents' one hun- dred and thirty-four. But over and above scores, beyond the records of losses, they-these fourteen let- ter men and those others that sat on the sidelines-gained one thing, a steady sportsmanshipg and left for themselves the name of being a team that, though it never Won a conference game, was game-Dead Game. iii: ,,,1.,ix?,... :.4.. !..i.m:4l..'?,..,41f:rfzf1::::r:t.':3dg'f'lfaffix! -:rw -'- A' :'i : ' P fs -Q f f -l 1 ,f-w .M ,.... ,N wif fir 'X' ., Y- Nxjocil' H8 1 ,Ai . ff...-.rf Ha- H , - -... .

When a coach-in this particular, Coach Wa1'ren B. Littrell-takes one letter man, adds a few rookies, mixes well with a little pepper, and brings out of the gymnasium cook stove a runner-up for the district championship, that coach certainly deserves a great deal of praise. Captain Jones and Coach Littrell were the Tiger team,one might say, at the very start of practice. Ma- terial, of course,-plenty of it-but upon these two fellows rested the tremendous responsibility of weed- ing out the superfluous and the inefficient material. And there wasn't so very much of the latter. At any rate, when Fort Scott came up against the Pleasanton quintet in the first game of the sea- son, the local fans were certainly given the surprise of their lives. A victory just before Christmas ,at Nevada Cnon-leagueh had not be- come general knowledge, and Fort Scott woke up with a bang during that Pleasanton game, and discov- ered that this city was blessed with a real high school basketball team. In the second battle of the season, the school was doomed to disap- pointment, however, for the Tigers travelled to Chanute and lost to that city, The fans settled back in their seats and decided that they had been wrong in the first place. Up his sleeve Coach Littrell snickered. Those same fans were going to get a surprise this time! And, just for fun, wholly without thought of' losing, the Crimson team put six straight games on the W side of the ledger. This flourish- and it wasn't a flash in the pan- started with the first Iola game. That team gave home folks quite a surprise when they nearly tied the score after running far behind most of the game. However, the lo- cal team managed to keep their own g 'TH 1 ,jg ,. T ,... W 'ix 3' count uppermost, and victory No. 2 was chalked up for the Tigers. The only game lost during the winning streak of the Fort Scott team was to Joplin, a non-confer- ence game. Fort Scott came within an ace of defeating that team. In the Baxter Springs game the locals were unbeatable, and the visitors were defeated overwhelmingly. The Parsons game was, perhaps, one of the most exciting in the schedule. First one team and then the other forged ahead. In the last minute of play, Parsons fouled, and the one point addition gave the con- test to the locals. It was a great game, well played, and both teams would be commended on their type of performance. Called away from home to Iola for a second game, the Tigers again showed their tails to the western school, and emerged Victors. This contest gave Fort Scott the reputa- tion of being the strongest team in the league. A strong scoring power and a magnificent defense formed an almost unbeatable combination. A.nd the enthusiasm of the fans over this wonderful team was strength- ened when the Bengals took on Cha- nute and defeated that school. Fort Scott now led 'the league. As a sort of steam remover the Osawatomie game was sandwiched in between the Chanute and Pitts- burg contests. The game was well played, going into extra quarters. The Tigers finally won. And then came the climax of the season-the Pittsburg game. That team was second. If Fort Scott won, the championship went to us, if the Pittsburg bunch were victorious. they would mount over us in the standings and take first place them- selves. Memorial Hall, in which place all the local games were played this year, was packed. The Hi-Y con- ference was going on here at that time, and all those boys were pres- ent. Sirens, cowbells, and the like rendered ear-splitting noise. And before it all the Tigers fought game- ly and lost-lost to Pittsburg and lost the league championship! But when one thinks of Captain Jones, Coach Littrell, and a bunch of rookies--well, one d0esn't feel quite so bad over that last game.

This organization is the Whirlwinds, colored basketball team-and, incidentally, four times champions of the state of Kansas. One is sometimes inclined to lose faith in the power of his school to Win, after hav- ing seen it so often defeated, but, when such a mood descends, there is always one record to which he may turn, that of the Whirlwinds. The football team, the basketball squad, the debaters, the orators, the declaimers, the track men, all lost-but the Whirlwinds won, and did it brilliantly and consistently. This year this team lost no conference game and no important non-conference game. They won the Southeast Kansas League title, and then took the state championship from Sumner High, Kansas City-played in Convention Hall in Kansas City, Missouri. Another important event in the season was a twelve hundred mile trip into Oklahoma., during which they met some of the strongest colored teams in that state, including the state champions, whom they defeated. This trip is probably the longest ever taken by a. Fort Scott team, with the exception of entries to the National tournament. In the mythical all-state teams which were chosen after the championship game with Sumner High, the Whirlwinds placed Caldwell and Whitner on the first team and Dixon and Beatty on the second team. Whitner is high-point man for the season. The organization and management of the team was handled by Professor Hawkins and Ernest Langford, Captain, and to them is due a large share of the success it enjoyed. f Q J g rgahif Ifufx-X ,fin X, ffg-WEE ig .

The Girls' Athletic Association has the unique position of being the only girls' athletic organization in the school. For many years the paramount interest of the school has been centered in boys' athletics, football, basketball, and track, but in 1925 the G. A. A. was first organized as an association to promote girls' athletics. This year the club was reorganized under the supervision of Miss Lodema Wiley, the new girls' gym teacher. 'l'he association first adopted a constitution having as its purpose the sponsoring of girls' athletics. The other aims of the organization are to promote interest in health, to create among the girls of the school an enthusiasm for sports and to teach them to live better and happier lives. This organization has charge of the girls' athletic F point system, and only to G. A. A. members are F's awarded. An F is given to any member who acquires 500 points, which may be earned by participating in basketball, baseball and track events and by passing an efficiency test which consists of folk dances and a posture test. The G. A. A. has been very active this year. Just before Christmas a mother and daughter party, to which the entire school was invited, was giveng and during Health Week the G. A. A. had charge of the play What Price Flies ? at a joint meeting of Boys' and Girls' clubs. They also promoted one program in general assembly, which consisted of folk dances and acrobatic stunts. The girls sold tickets for the concert given by the K. U. Girls' Glee Club. And so the G. A. A., sole promoter of girls' athletics, ends another year, reorganized and more efficient than ever, having awarded several letters, conducted numerous activi- ties, and accomplished more than ever before, so it ends one more year, being, perhaps, the harbinger of athletic interest among all girls.

' Uillmlfnfl' STORES Learning While Serving- From boyhood it was said of Abra- ham Lincoln that he was a learner , In his ambition to post himself he sat at the feet of whoever could teach him. In time he overtopped them all. The learner rises above his com- petitors in all of 1ife's activities. He masters conditions because he learns all about them. We sit at the feet of the public wherever we have stores, learning and posting ourselves of the needs of the home and person as best we can. Diligently applying ourselves to the responsible task of providing those needed where needed is the virtue to which may be traced much of the ex- traordinary development of this com- pany.

A TRAGEDY IN TWO SCENES The room showed in shadows and lines under the softening influence of the desk lamp. All was in perfect harmony-except one thing. That was a boy. He was eating. That explanation is unnecessary, because a boy, so they tell me, is invariably eating. Before him was a volume, on his back a flamboyant sweater. He looked at the book, touched it with a scared touch, and drew back as if it burned him. He picked up a newspaper and read Moon Mullins, Once more he looked at the book. It seared his eyeballs. He looked away. Then he got a drink. His feet were tired. He rested them on a footstool. The book was still there. Then he started the radio. Presently the harmony, the peace, the quiet of the scene pervaded the very depths of his soul. Gently he removed a perfumed letter from an inner pocket. Tenderly he read it, then lifted it to his lips as a knight of old might have done a lady's sleeve. He slept. iii' The room was quiet, and the brightness of the morning sun showed on a bare spot in the floor. The room was ominously quiet. The silence became intense, electric. Out of the depths of the deepening hush a voice spoke, broken, subdued with the agony of a soul in torment. The voice said, Professor, I don't knowf' Compliments of The McKey Mfg. Co.

Suzanne Barr receives mysterious love letters. Noted Senior officer suspected of anonymous authorship. 2 HEADLINE. Fort Scott, Halloween: Juniors throw party. Bethel carried off drain pipe and leaves prominent social leaders marooned on second floor. 3 Editor has had the usual number of distinctions, but only once in his checkered career has he had the honor of chauffering the President, ' 4 BULLETIN. Wallace Piper was saved from suicide only by the intervention of friends when letter was published by the walking bulletin board. The letter, written from Indepen- dence, was something like this: Dear Bill: Please get me a date with the sweetest girl in all th world, Louise. 5 Notice from the younger set: It is announced that the latest initiates to the Lingernots, prominent in all welfare work, include the noted social degenerate, W. Gunn Calhoun, formerly of 216 S. Eddy street. 6 Warren Jay Littrell, two-letter man from Baxter Springs, has been reported to have engaged in mortal conflict with his roommate and former friend, D. Erickson. Results not available at press time. It is said that there is a woman in the case. 7 Rosle Twining, Hi-Y Sponsor. I tBeing the verbatim report of an attempt to vqrite a class prophecy. Characters: re- porter, editor, and two typewritersj A class prophecyf' I remarked to the Editor, His the bunk. Absolutely agreedf, the Mentor of the Crimson aquiesced. ' Then why, demanded I, is it necessary that I write a class prophecy. My child, said my superior in that tone so often used by weary great men who are atempting to illustrate a point to a mental subordinate, it is with much grief that I ask you to waste your meagre talents on such a thing, but it is as necessary as milk to the infant. Popular demand demands it, my boy. Even the greatest of men must yield to popular demand. And if even great men must yield, then the Lord knows you must. Still I protested. 'fLet the Runt write it, I begged. He hasn't anything to do. Or the Simpleton. Hels dumb enough to do it. Absolutely not, decreed the Mentor. It must be you, laddy. On that I am as fixed as the famous case of Hewitt and Hollandf' Angrily I strode away, seized upon the class roll, stuck a typewriter in my pocket, and dashed off down the hall to the peace and quiet of some Avoidcd Niche. VVatta job! Watta job! VVatta dirty thing to do to a fellow! Ah, just for that I would refuse to read proof on the darned annual. That'd fix 'emq . I glared down at the class roll. George and Marguerite: I suppose I am to write out the animal blarney about the jones' Bakery, et cetera. And of the tinnie- weenie little Joneses helping their papa and mama bake bread. And here I guess I might as well write about the other Wfamousl' cases throughout the school. CAs if they would really last lj I suppose that Russell Carney would like to be called a nice lawyer. And Martin would like to be an actor. And Helena, America's most beautiful woman. And Francis Varvell a great woman novelist. And Ralph Gift director of a great orchestra. And Mary Louise Walls the first woman President. And VVilliam Wor- den a great editor-BUNK. Well, I'm not going to write any such thing. VVhy, Atkins never will see Holly- wood. I-Iim act? Ha, ha, hal And Helena good looking? Let me gig'gle. IVIary Louise Walls a President? A better washer-woman. V Ralph Gift a director? He couldn't lead a horse to water. And as for Russell ever being a lawyer, why, I simply must laugh up my sleeve. That fool Editor hasn't got the sense he was born with. The idea of prophecy! As a prophet Ilm a pretty good hod-carrier. I can't even guess who will win the American League pennant. Ilve got a hanged good idea: I'm not going to write a class prophecy. He'll never know the diff. And what's the use of spending my time telling that fool Class of '27 what their going to be, and then have them go out and be something else? No, my dignity must be preserved. I shall write no prophecy.

Thus tee wet our hand and seal to the following documents and disposition: First we bvsfo-tt' somebody's looks on somebody else, somebody's style of love making, and somebody's brains-we go on at length and give away many things, which some years ago would have provoked much and uproarous laughter, but which being stale jokes, have long outlived their usefulness. We bequeath, with many tears, the custody of the customs and hallowed traditions of the school to the ones who will succeed us---as though we had any traditions or any hallowed customs and as though we, ourselves, had maintained them, if any. IVC do beseech the student body of coming years to take care of the fragile bodies, brains, and tempers of the faculty in future years, since we have been cruelly in- temperatc in their abuse. Hence, llzervforv, and in such mood, we do dedicate numerous things to numerous peo- ple, and such things as they will not desire to have. This being done, we close our hands in righteousness and religious ardor and pass away in the peace of deeds well done and old words well spoken over. Hotvctwr, we, the Class of l927, and this particular member of it, who was supposed to give this impetus to the last sad rites, being of still more maturity and sounder mind than we are given credit for, do with one gesture, cast aside this mass of putrid history and bromide-like actions: and instead, do hereby and with the evidence of this seal announce that in the first place we have no intention of dying, in the second, that if we did, we should not give anything to anybody, but rather take it with us: and in the third place that we have nothing to give away and therefore shall repair to the picture show and forget all wills, class, and otherwise, in the pictured subleties of emotional excitement as portrayed on the silver screen.
